You 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:30.480 were too huh? I was too cool for one. I 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:32.960 had had an orange T shirt on, I had a 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:36.400 little as on it. Standbacks dressed up as a former 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:40.480 Washington quarterback. It looks like a Yes, we need a 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.160 former one because the current one isn't getting to done. Wow, 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:49.960 shot fire.

Let me ask you 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.040 a question. Yes, right, we got a game this game week, right, fellas, 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.200 we're about to go against Mike Zimmer, one of the 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.680 highly touted blitzers in the history of the NFL. Are 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.000 you gonna go through all the practice without facing the blitz? 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.320 Are you not gonna be prepared for that challenge? I 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:57.200 am gonna be. We are blitzing you right now. Temptation, brother, 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:02.200 come on, let's pick up. It sounds like a guy 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.280 who should be a coach. It was very well done. 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:11.320 Like this clot is amazing, It's so good in the back, 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:17.080 it's so good. You've been talking about Zeke all week. Yeah, 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.959 you gotta eat. You gotta pick up the blitz what 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.880 I was thinking? Actually, yeah, I'm picking it up. I'm good. 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:24.600 That's a problem. I got my fruit cup over here 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:28.320 and my granola and water. Looks a clean hoodie too, 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:32.600 you got on today. This was the best line of hoodies. 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.760 I think the Cowboys Pro Shop's ever done because they 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.160 had this one, the great one that Derek wears all 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:38.960 the time. Nice, and then I have the black one 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.200 that has that same logo in the front. I love 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.960 those white white you know, it's even more impressive in 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:50.440 fact that it's still white clean there. There's only a 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.680 certain demographic individuals that will wear all white hoodie, I 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:58.280 mean all white suits about Miami type cast you know quick, 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:09.080 I ain't well, we are here every day, all the 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:16.039 rules out on Wait, Chris, would you just say day? 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:17.640 I thought you're not supposed to wear a white after 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:21.520 labor day. That's a whole that's an allhood rule right there. 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:28.800 It's white is lennen. You can't wear white linen. That's okay, good, 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:33.800 glad we clarify, Thank goodness for everybody listening. All right, 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.320 we do have some extra news to get to from 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:40.920 the Cowboys side of things. Dak Prescott going into yesterday 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.599 really feels like I felt really felt like Dak was 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.600 going to play. I mean chance he was going to play. 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.479 But I was kind of thrown for a loop yesterday 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.240 with the way that both he talked about it, way 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.159 that Mike McCarthy talked about it, the way that Stephen 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.200 Jones even talked about it. And there's an interview coming 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.800 out later on Dallas cowboys dot com and on the 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:04.159 YouTube and everything or Cowboys social channels. But rob any 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:08.160 news on Dak and his progress to potentially being available 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.560 this week. He spoke to us for twenty minutes yesterday, 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.680 and I thought he was pretty candid about the whole thing, 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.560 the calf, his work in practice, and I agree with you. 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.560 I came out of that a little less sure about 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.840 whether he's going to play in this game because the 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:24.960 way he referred to it, he actually compared it in 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:29.320 a certain sense to the shoulder strain in training camp, where, Yeah, 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.480 I think even I said this on media match yesterday, 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:34.479 I think he said something similar during camp, like they're 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.240 they're trying to protect me from myself and it's something 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.320 that we don't want to linger. I'm not saying he's 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:40.760 out for a month. I'm not saying he's out for 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:46.680 this game necessarily, but they're obviously proceeding with caution here now. 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:50.760 He did go through another limited portion yesterday, but he 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:52.360 ramped it up. I think it was more of an 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.000 intense workout than he had before. He wanted to push 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:59.159 himself on Thursday and see how it went. Everything seems 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:04.000 to be going good. But if it's close, then I 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.560 don't know if they play him in this game, because 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:10.560 as he said, and as as they've said, it's it's October. 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:12.680 You know, it's not January. There's a long way to 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.200 go here. Yeah, that one. That one kind of hurts 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.000 a little bit to hear. I mean, here's the words 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.400 from him specifically, he said, if it was my call 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.520 and it was totally up to me, yes, but there 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:27.200 this is something that I agree with the experts. I 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.719 don't want it to linger. I don't want to miss 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:34.120 this week after week. Are we going through this basically? 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:35.839 And it kind of reminds me of what happened in 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:38.440 the preseason, kind of reminds me of the shoulder injury 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.920 and training camp him. It sounds like he's going back 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.479 to that mindset that he had an Oxnard, which was 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:48.080 keeping me from myself. I don't want to push myself 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.039 too far as kind of what it reminds me of 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.520 a little bit. Yeah. Absolutely. And you know, Steve Dennis 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.000 even had he was on the media match yesterday and 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:59.560 he was like, I've i've I'm a whisperer with this 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.560 kind of stuff when guys want to play but they don't, 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:03.919 And he puts out there that if it were up 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.640 to me, I'd be playing. He thinks that's a tell 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:10.320 that just I'm tough, I want to play, don't we'll 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.680 put it on me if I don't play Sunday, I 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:16.400 don't know. We'll see, but it does sound like it's 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.760 up in the air as of Friday. And look, they 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.000 don't practice today. They got to walk through and then 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:24.000 a light practice Saturday, and as he said, as Dak said, 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.960 they'll probably make that decision by Saturday. So if it's 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.360 Cooper rushed, then he's ready to go. I say, you're 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.679 making a face like you agree with what Steve Tennis 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:35.320 was talking about. It reminds me of back in the 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.280 day when I was like in middle school or high school, 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.360 the old or Matt computers. You know, when you used 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.280 to play the Oregon Trail and you had to follow 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:45.440 the bread crumbs, you know, not before that one the 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:49.200 floppy disc ones. I remember those, Yeah, and you know 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.840 that that was a bread crumb. That was a bread crumb. 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.680 And as an athlete, the last thing you want people 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:58.760 to question is your willingness to play when you know 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:00.320 in the back of your head, or when you know 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.480 you're being told that you're not going to play right 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:06.400 or there's a high probability that you're probably not gonna play. 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.280 What's your first team. That's just that's gonna naturally come 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.240 out of your mouth. The first thing that is naturally 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:11.760 gonna come out of your mouth is I mean, if 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.120 it was up to me, I'll roll. Probably didn't want 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.760 they probably didn't want him to say that, but that's 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.000 probably indicative as what's being said to him on the 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:23.160 back end. I in my head, I I think I 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.040 already mentioned this earlier in the week. I didn't. I 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:27.000 think it's best as just gonna let him chill. It 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.080 sucks because it's a competitive game and you know these 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:32.040 boys could play. But to that point where we foresee 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:37.120 this team potentially going, it's probably smarter to if you 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.920 were going to risk, let me say this, risk taking 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:42.320 an l in position in the form of having your 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.960 backup quarterback at the helm, This is the time to 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:47.200 do it, because it's not worth the risk. The risk 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.719 verse reward isn't there. And that's me taking the competitor 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:52.760 out of it, because as a as a player, as 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:53.839 you heard him say, if it was up to me, 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:55.440 I'm on the field like, let's roll, you know, and 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.800 I'll just risk it. It's no different than than freaking 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.200 Hop last night did d Hop de Hop who had 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.320 a strain hammy that he came into the game with. 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.160 But when he got time to to actually go time 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:07.640 in a two minute drill the last he said, Hey, 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:09.720 put me back out there. Yeah, Like I'm like, it's 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:11.880 worth it for me. We need this game. DA's the 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:13.680 same way. He wants to be on that field. But 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:18.120 the doctor's gonna probably really men, I'm having a hard 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.480 time reading in between the lines on all of this. 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:24.240 I know from us statistical strategic advantage that they have 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.319 by not saying whether he's going to play or not, 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:28.440 But I don't think that you have a backup that 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.560 the other team is remotely worried about. If it turns 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.680 into a game where Rush plays, then you know they're 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.840 gonna rely heavily on their running game to establish anything. 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:42.880 Um And I feel as though with Dak practicing, going 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:47.440 through going through practice, and everyone's saying from the limited 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.040 view that you have that he looks good, looks like 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.480 he's he's up to speed. If there was anything there 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.160 that they wouldn't have him even involved in that if 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.680 he was going to be out for a while, and 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.040 that's just well for a while. But but he's not 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:03.240 doing team stuff, he's not doing competitive stuff. Yet he 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:05.320 said he's taking team reps in the walkthroughs. But if 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.400 we're just if we're just resting it, if we're saying, look, 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.320 we need to get off of it and rest, have 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.560 nothing happened. I also heard him say I was going 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:13.680 to test myself today. If there's anything that was going 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.240 to happen, it was gonna happen today. And it didn't. 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.920 So going back to your what you were talking about 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:23.680 about Hopkins going in, the Cardinals recognize that the NFC 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.000 is competitive and going down to the edge. There's gonna 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.680 be some teams that have good records that may not 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.719 even make the playoffs. All right, But I believe right 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.400 now the Cowboys understand that they are in the driver's 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:37.960 seat for a lot of things. And you could possibly 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.880 have home field advantage of some home games, and we 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:45.720 are scorching hot at home, and so look, this injury 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:49.520 comes at a bad time. If Dak doesn't play on Sunday, 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.480 it's going to be interesting. The way that Kelly Moore 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.480 gets Cooper rushed up to speed. I just feel like 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.360 with even with the limitations that Dak would have, it 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.120 would be better suited to have him out there. There's 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:00.960 things that you could do with having him and shotgun 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.319 and having Zeke and the pistol. That doesn't make him 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.600 like on those design runs where he has to run 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:07.680 all the way out there on those zone runs to 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.439 get him the ball. I just feel like he gives 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.080 us the best chance to win now if he is. 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.880 But if he is, if he's compromised he can't protect 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.320 himself in that situation, then no, you don't put your 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.960 quarterback out there to go through that. But to me, 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:25.600 it seems like he's saying instead of it being like 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.200 I'm preserving myself to say no, I'll go if I 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.600 can go, I think he's letting us no. Man like, Look, 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.440 I'm doing everything that I can to be available on Sunday. 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.320 That's the way that I'm taking. And again we may 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.840 be reading into this way wrong. No, and he is, 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:39.960 and he trusts he trusts Britt Brown. They got a 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.440 great relationship. And it's not he said, Look, it's not 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.400 fully my decision. It's gonna be the medical training staff, 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.440 is gonna be the coaches. We're gonna do what's what's best. 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:53.960 I will say, he I don't know. I lost strain 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.520 of thought. I don't know what I'm gonna say it happens, Pee, 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:58.600 I do it all the time and it's all good dog. 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:02.120 But we need him. No, No, there's no doubt that 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:05.760 you need him, right, But risk risk reward? Do you 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:09.360 to know? Put it like this, put him in this game, 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:10.720 you know there's a chance that he can make this 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:13.480 thing worse. Right, that's this we all agree on that 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:15.959 he could reinjure. He could read right, not even just reinjury. 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:17.960 It's it's already injured right now. It's just a matter 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.160 of say, let's say that let's say that he's seventy 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.200 percent right now, right, but you put him in a 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:24.760 game and all of a sudden he tears it. Is that? 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.200 Is that worth it? Or would you rather just let 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.880 him chill this game? Run the risk of a higher 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.440 probability of you losing this game, but know that you 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:34.920 have one hundred percent attack next week. And then then 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.439 the timeline. That's where I'm asking, what is the timeline 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:39.400 on this? It's a cap strain, right, so, I mean 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.400 so so, I mean it's so intricate. There's so many 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:44.440 different angles, right, That's what That's the thing about this. 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:47.480 It takes one bad step and you could tweak this thing, 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:49.720 and that's the reason why guys have to rest whenever 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.720 they have hammy pools. It's the same thing. It's not 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:53.320 you're not just going in one direction. It's not just 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:55.599 linear right as angles or a shoulder strain or a 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.199 shoulder strain. That's kind of like he said at training camp. 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.360 Now I remember what I was gonna say he said 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.520 in training camp, like the kind of the similar stuff, 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.640 Like if it were up to me, if this were 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.719 a regular season game, I would play the same kind 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:09.400 of thing he said. If it's if it's a playoff 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:11.320 game or something, I'm in this. I'm in this game. 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.000 But he also said to your point, he said, I 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.560 don't want the offense to be limited. I don't want 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.320 to have a limited game plan. I want to play 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.360 the way I want to play and not limit Kellen Moore. 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:22.520 So that has to factor into it as well. It's 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:24.560 just it just seems like it's very much up in 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.280 the air right now. I wouldn't say he's ruled out um, 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:29.440 but it also like it's day to day, like how's 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.480 he feeling this morning? You know that's part of the 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:33.960 discussion too. And we'll hear from Mike McCarthy this morning. Later, 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.720 we're fifty eight hours away something like that. Yeah, yeah, 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:39.480 we're right around there, an, I mean, it's my thing 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.000 is controlled reps. The reason why he's not doing team 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.760 reps is control reps. You know exactly what you're gonna do. 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:46.600 I'm gonna go out here, I'm gonna play action, I'm 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:48.120 gonna come back. I'm sitting down. IM gonna be nice 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:52.320 and controlled. When you have to react react instinctively, that's 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:54.400 when those those muscle fibers fire up and ask when 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:56.600 you can piss them off. And again, it's just not 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.600 worth it, man, it's not And I know Cowboys Nation 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.520 doesn't want to hear that. You much rather have one 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.800 hundred percent Zeke, I mean one hundred percent back next 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.319 week than run the risk of holding your breath every 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.920 dog on play this week. We don't know exactly the 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:12.000 level of the strain, absolutely, but do you think like 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.559 another week would help? I mean, we know it will help. 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:16.280 We just we don't know to what degree, right, but 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.240 we know that he has a better chance of being 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.960 healthier right away from today than you know, if he 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.480 was to take that safer approach. It sucks because we 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.040 want to be competitive, but at the same time, it's 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:26.640 all funding games until you get in the game, and 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:28.120 now you lose Dak for the whole dog on the 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.080 rest of the season or for five six weeks. And 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:31.840 one of the things that we talked about with Michael 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.040 Gallup in a calf strain is there's no need to 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:37.520 rush him back because Ceedee lamb Amari Cooper, Cedric Wilson, 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.320 Noah Brown, they're all playing well. The reason we need 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:43.360 Dak Prescott back quickly is because you don't have that 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.920 backup quarterback you feel uber confident in address it. We 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:48.880 haven't talked about Cooper Rush a whole lot on this 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.840 show this week, despite the thought that Dak Prescott may 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.160 not be available, because I think to a certain extent, 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.400 we all thought Dak would be available. So when we 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:58.400 cut back on the other side of the break, what 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:02.240 can Cooper rush to help you win on Sunday? Should 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.160 he be thrust it in to starting quarterback duty when 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:11.320 we return here from the Star Honey, big news?

You gotta get that 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:37.680 in there. Okay, Okay. So Cooper Rush, how big of 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:39.720 a drop off is it from Dak Prescott? That's a 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:43.119 loaded question. And what can he do to help you 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:46.280 win come Sunday? What does he do well? We've seen 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:50.600 him in limited action in the preseason, very limited action. 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:54.720 Three career passing attempts in the regular season. So what 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:56.560 can he do, Isaiah to help you win a game? 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:02.280 Move the chains, don't throw ill advised passes. Make sure 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:08.240 that we are in the right play. Vague as hell. Yeah, 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:12.720 coach calls are run in the pass and every play. Right, 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:15.040 you have two plays every single time. Get us in 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:17.120 the right play. Get us in the right play based 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:19.520 upon the coverage, based upon the front, based upon the 0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:21.600 front seven. Get us in the right play. Make sure 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:25.359 that we have a chance every play. Secondly, when you 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:27.919 decide to pass the ball, make sure that you're not 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:31.159 throwing the ball into bad situations. Make sure you're not 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:34.640 throwing it into double coverage. Make sure you're not throwing 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:36.800 it late. I'm much rather you throw the ball out 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:39.560 of bounds right, or run out of bounds instead of 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:41.800 take it into that instead of having a bad, bad, 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.960 ill advised throw right. Yeah, and then don't turn the 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:46.520 ball over if you do it. If he does those 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:49.520 three things, I think we're in. We're happy. We're happy. 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:53.080 Give us a chance, all right, playing the devil's advocate 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:56.399 here knowing that Mike zim coach him is gonna come 0:19:56.440 --> 0:20:00.240 after him. Yeah, And I think even in the situation 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:02.120 like that where you're talking asking him to check out 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:04.680 of certain things. I don't know if he'll feel comfortable 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:07.600 doing that, especially with the with the pressure that he 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:10.600 may be under, because they're gonna sell out at the 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:12.760 line of scrimmage to test to see if he can 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:15.879 actually make those throws. So that's that's all I question. 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:17.680 If they sell out, we have a great chance to 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:23.000 get big plays. Okay, you know what. I like that, 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:25.840 But where our question is his ability to find it 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:27.960 under pressure. I feel good with Dak being able to 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:38.960 find it under pressure. Gonna come down with it, John 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:43.959 Ban what is that? I can't do that, I mean, 0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:46.800 but look, you ask what he's gonna do. I you know, 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:49.760 I think it's gonna be limited for him. Uh. As 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:52.520
