1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,079 Speaker 1: Where were the voice of the Dallas Cowboys, Brad Sham. 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: The Jags and the Cowboys don't meet that often. Well, 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: the stakes are pretty high now, certainly for the Cowboys. 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: The Jaguars hopes they're still alive in December and here 5 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,319 Speaker 1: we are, Brad, it's been a while. Great to talk 6 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,479 Speaker 1: with you. Yeah, you too, JP. I think the I 7 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: think the stakes are are big for both of them 8 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: because I really like the way the Jaguars are playing. 9 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: I think anyone who's ever seen a football game can 10 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: see what they've gotten. Trevor Lawrence and the way he's playing. 11 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson has just been perfect for him. It looks 12 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: like and this you know, when you're start in the hole. 13 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: We're certainly familiar with that. Um. When you start in 14 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: a hole, it's sometimes um, you can't get out of 15 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: it right away. But it's not an expenditure. It's an investment. 16 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: Everything that the Jags are going through right now is 17 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: going to help them next year. And in the meantime, 18 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: we're sitting here in December, and I don't know how 19 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: many people I tell Cowboy fans this all the time, 20 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: and nobody listens to me here. I don't know maybe 21 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: they will there. But I don't know if you'd said 22 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: before the season starts, Uh, you know, on the eighteenth 23 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: of December, a week before Christmas, Dallas is gonna come 24 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: to town and the Jaguars are still gonna be alive 25 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: in the playoff race? Would you take that? And I've 26 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: got most fans would say yeah because they didn't believe. 27 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: But here you are. Yeah, here they are for sure. 28 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with the Jags down the stretch. 29 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: They've got some walking down of the Titans to do. 30 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: But same for the Cowboys. Right How good is this 31 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: Cowboys team right now? And are they good enough to 32 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: overtake Philly? It's head to head next week? But is 33 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: it too little too late? Well, there's there's three different questions. 34 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: How good are they? I don't know. I don't know. Um, 35 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: when the season started, when we went to training camp, 36 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: even when we left training camp, they had they This 37 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: was a really unhappy fan base. It was an ugly 38 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: mood to my way of thinking around town. Uh, they won. 39 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: All I did last year was going twelve and five 40 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: after having the year before that the historically worst defense 41 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: in the history of the franchise. And then they lost 42 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: the first playoff game. The owner wasn't happy, players weren't happy. 43 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 1: Fans believe it is their divine right that has been 44 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: denied them by Satan for twenty five years now to 45 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: be in the championship and playing for a Super Bowl. 46 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: So um, so nobody was happening, and they didn't. They 47 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: They came out of the off season without Amari Cooper, 48 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: without Randy Gregory, resigned a couple of guys that, uh, 49 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: people weren't really very excited about. I didn't know who 50 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: the kicker was going to camp. And then when they 51 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: finally resigned ma Her because everybody else was horrible, Uh, 52 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: then the fan base went, oh god. And so then 53 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: they came home from camp where I think very low expectations, 54 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: and Tyrone Smith that suffered that ridiculous injury and so 55 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: now there's your all pro alignment gone, and and so 56 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: I think everyone. Then they went out and laid an 57 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: Ostrich egg against Tampa in the opening and the quarterback 58 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: got hurt. So that's it. I mean literally, I was 59 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: getting you know, tweets and texts. All right, we're playing 60 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: for draft choices, one game, for crying out loud, We're 61 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: playing for draft choices, who should we draft? Well, hold 62 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: on a minute. The backup quarterback turned out to be okay, 63 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: defense turned out to be okay. Coaches might have somehow 64 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: known what they were doing. And they win four games. 65 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: So now they're continuing to play and uh and the 66 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: fan base, which I try to ignore, continues to be irrational. 67 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: But I think they're ten and three coming into into Jacksonville. 68 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: So how good are they there? You know, Bill Parcels 69 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: like to say, you are what your record says you are, 70 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: and so they're ten and three. That's pretty good. There's 71 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: there's not too many teams better than that in the 72 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: NFC right now. What happens on the field on an 73 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: individual day, nobody knows. Are they good enough to beat Philadelphia? 74 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 1: I don't think they're as good a team as Philadelphia 75 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: or San Francisco right now. Now we'll see what happens 76 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: with San Francisco with their quarterback and how that affects them. 77 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: But their defense is ridiculous. How good are they? They're 78 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: good enough to be where they are. I'm a big 79 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: picture kind of guy. Jp um And and perspective I 80 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 1: wish I wish perspective were my middle name, because I 81 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: try to. You know, they have not had double digit 82 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: wins in consecutive years since till now, they have not 83 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: had consecutive playoff appearent. This is the kind of thing 84 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: that makes the fan base man, and I get it. Uh, 85 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: they have not had consecutive playoff appearances in fifteen years now. 86 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: They haven't clinched that yet, but they might by the 87 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: time Sunday nights over. They're I think they're good enough 88 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: to compete with Philadelphia, and whatever happens at the Bank 89 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: on Sunday, they might go out and lose to Philadelphia 90 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: again on Christmas Eve, and then they're gonna play him again. 91 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: So they really at that point, once you're in, it 92 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what happens in the regular season now matters 93 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: in the players heads. But they might be good enough 94 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: to beat Philadelphia in a given game. I think the 95 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: Eagles are the best team going, and I've thought that 96 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: all year because of what they have. So, I mean, 97 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: I think they're pretty good, and I think they've see expectations. 98 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: And as we know, when we watch a team all 99 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: the time, we see the flaws, we see the awards 100 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: that other people don't see, and we might magnify them, 101 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: and so I think they're good enough to compete in 102 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: the playoffs. How far can they go? I don't know. 103 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: That's why they're gonna play. That's the fun of it. 104 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: Brad jam Voys of the Dallas Cowboys irrational fan basis, 105 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: how yeah, we understand a little bit of that. What 106 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: happens from time to say, that's what it is. Fans 107 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: are gonna fan. They want the best thing for their organization. Defense. This, 108 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: this Cowboys defense is right there near the top of 109 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: the league. I mean in in a lot of different metrics. Second, 110 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: in sacks, Uh, they're pretty good on takeaways. Um. You 111 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: know this is uh, it feels like a speed rush team. Though. 112 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: Are they susceptible against the run? Um? Can the Jaguars 113 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: get some ground there this week? You know they don't 114 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: want to get in that third and on situation with 115 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: Parsons and Lawrence and all those guys up front rushing 116 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: the passer? What is what is the whole in this 117 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: Cowboys defense? I know you might not want to tell me, 118 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: but there's got to be some weakness somewhere. Well, yeah, 119 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: there's of course there's weaknesses. And you know the funny 120 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: thing about these statistics is that My My broadcast partner, 121 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: Babel Offenberg and I talk all the time about you know, 122 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: we love to pour through the league statistics, which come 123 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: out on Tuesday after the Monday night game. Now, the 124 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: problem is the first four weeks of the season they 125 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: really don't mean that much because the sample size isn't 126 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: very big. And where we are now they really don't 127 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: mean that much because this isn't the same Jacksonville team 128 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: that started the year. It's not the same Dallas team 129 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: that started the year. If you just look at the statistics, 130 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are definitely susceptible to the running game. A 131 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: lot of that was built up by their inability to 132 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: handle r po quarterbacks. Justin Fields killed them by the 133 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: way they won that game against Justin Fields. Um, but 134 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: never mind that we didn't stop the run. Okay, so hurts, 135 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is hurting everybody. But if you're gonna play 136 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: the Eagles and beat them, you're gonna have to figure 137 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: that out. And uh, and then the Bears really killed them. 138 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: And then they've had some some blips with some improvement 139 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: lately in the running game. And when I look at 140 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: the Jags, the thing that that gives you a pause. 141 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: Is all the reasons that Trevor Lawrence was picked number 142 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: one in the draft. So E t. N is a 143 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: really good back, but that's not how they are going 144 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: to beat people. The Jaguars can get three scores down 145 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: and be in the game, and a lot of teams 146 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: can't because Trevor Lawrence is built to pull you out 147 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: of a hole like that. So they always want to 148 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: stop the run first. But in this case, and I'm 149 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: just turning my head to look at the rest of 150 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: the schedule. I mean, you know, Philadelphia hurts you every 151 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: which way, and then uh, and then they'll be in 152 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: Nashville and you know all about them. The running back 153 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: will make you run screaming into the night. And and 154 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: then Washington's a division game and who knows what anybody 155 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: will be playing for by that. So this is a 156 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: different challenge for Dallas than they have had. Really. I 157 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: think most of the second half of the year they 158 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: have been susceptible to the run. This week, if I 159 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: were the Jaguars, I'd be looking at you know, the 160 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: Cowboys lost Anthony Brown, who's not a pro bowler, but 161 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: he's a pretty good corner. And now he's done for 162 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: the year, and so if I if I'm Doug Peterson, 163 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: I'm looking at a way to try to exploit that, 164 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 1: and I think that I think the Lawrence can do it. 165 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: Running game. Running defense has been there there their greatest weakness. 166 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: But I've don't think that's the way that Jaguars want 167 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: to They don't take the ball out of Trevor's hands, 168 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: you know, So that to me is the intriguing part 169 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: of the game. Now that the other thing you said 170 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: it's really important is third and long. So nobody really 171 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: pays much attention to first and second down. If it's 172 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: third and eight and the Cowboys can keep them in 173 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: third and eight, then those are pretty good pass rushers, 174 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 1: and you know they've got a chance to affect the quarterback, 175 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: which is as important as sacking the quarterback. Affecting the 176 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: quarterback is what you really want to do. It's third 177 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,719 Speaker 1: and two, then he might keep it, or or E. 178 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: T n might do or you throw a screen. There's 179 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: a lot of ways to do it. So first and second, third, 180 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: third and how long is a big factor. Rat Jim 181 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: with us. Let's flip it to this Cowboys offense now, 182 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: and obviously Zeke Elliott has been the main stay there 183 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: for a little while now, but the emergence are Tony 184 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: Pollard alongside him in the back field has really balanced 185 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: out the running game. Two different styles. They're obvious and 186 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 1: then Dak trying to throw off that play action. He's 187 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: got the big play guy and lamb down the field, 188 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: but Dak will throw you one occasionally, especially this season, 189 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: he's throwing some interceptions. Where is this offense right now? 190 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: Especially with that two headed backfield, and then Dak making 191 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: some plays occasionally off that coming off that injury early 192 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: in the season we had the the This is a 193 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: great example of why the statistics can lie to you, 194 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: because if you just pick up the league stats, what 195 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: you see from Dallas is very greatly influenced by what 196 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: they did from weeks two to uh whatever it was 197 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. Um, and that was all Cooper Rush. Who 198 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: did I mean, you couldn't have asked for a backup 199 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: quarterback to do more than he went four and one 200 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: for crying out loud. But in the time that he 201 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: was playing until the Philly in the four games he 202 00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: won four games total of about twelve that they were behind, 203 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: so he didn't have to do anything more. And he can, 204 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: he can throw the ball, but he didn't have to 205 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: uh do anything but stay within himself. Now that's not 206 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: DA's game. And unquestionably, the rate at which he is 207 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: throwing interceptions is both alarming and out of character. He's 208 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: never been that guy. So he has had you know, 209 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: when he when he was in week his second week, 210 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: everybody else was in the eighth week. So you have to, 211 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: I think, allow for for him to get kind of 212 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: back in the flow and reacquainted and the play calls 213 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: change and blah blah blah, it's time and and and 214 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy says this all the time, and I happen 215 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: to agree with it. All interceptions are not created equal. 216 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: He threw to last week. One of them bounced off 217 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: the receiver, hit him right in the numbers um and 218 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: went up in the air. And the other one, uh 219 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: came with a guy draped on it, and he got 220 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: his arm hit as he was thrown, and the ball 221 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 1: didn't go anywhere near where it was supposed to go. Now, 222 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: those aren't excuses, those are facts, as McCarthy says, and 223 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: I agree with that that the problems that you have 224 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: are when the quarterback is making decisions mistakes, and he 225 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: gets picked because he made a bad decision. That's happened. 226 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: I think he's got nine interceptions, and I would say 227 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: three or four of them have been that, and a 228 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: lot of them have been drops, bad routes, fuzzy routes, 229 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Now we've reached the point of 230 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: the year JP where it doesn't matter anymore. Just stop throwing. 231 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: Just stop stop throwing interceptions. His nature is to be 232 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: really aggressive, and it's also the offensive coordinator's nature, and 233 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: so he's gonna take some shots. And if he continues 234 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: to do that without mixed being in a little better judgment, 235 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: then in the playoffs it will get killed. So you 236 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: have to stop turning the ball over. But I don't 237 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: it's it's what he's been doing, But I don't think 238 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 1: it's who he is. His career would tell you that's 239 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: not who he is, and that that last two minutes. 240 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens as a result of the last 241 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: two minutes. Last week against Houston, that's about as well 242 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: as you can play, and he threw I think he 243 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: threw four or five his best throws of the year 244 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: on that possession. So we'll see if there's any carry over. Um, 245 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: you know it'll be everyone will look with interest to 246 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: see if t Y Hilton can do anything being thrown 247 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: into the mix. And James Washington played his first game 248 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: last week. I think they might have thrown one at him. 249 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: So they've got some versatile tight ends. Don't know if 250 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: one of them. Jake Ferguson will be playing this week. 251 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: He had a neck in jury in the game, so 252 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: that that'll be up right up till maybe Sunday. But 253 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: he's got some versatility at tight end. He's got not 254 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: the greatest wide receiver corps, but he's got some versatility there. 255 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: The backs can both run and catch, and they have 256 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: done a really good job of using Pollard and Elliott 257 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: and those two guys have done a great job of 258 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: working together. So the first quarter of the year, the 259 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: defense was literally carrying the team. Now there's a little 260 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: more balance, but you can't give the ball away, so 261 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: ball security is number one, and then then they've got 262 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: to go back to to taking it away a little 263 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: bit better. But it gives you a chance. Brad. I 264 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: think the only time that, at least in your Cowboys role, 265 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: you've been to Jacksonville's two thousand six right. I mean, well, 266 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: we actually played we we played a couple of preseason 267 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: games there in the early days of the of the 268 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: Jaguars franchise. Stated saw Grass the first time, if I 269 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: recall um. But yeah, last time they played, not in Dallas, 270 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: was in London and um. And so the Cowboys are 271 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: old for Jacksonville. They've never won, they have never won 272 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, and I think everybody's looking forward to it, 273 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: but I think for the players it's a business trip. Well, 274 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: let's hope that continues the old for Jacksonville Park. You 275 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: can that. I'm not hoping that. Just saying brand thanks 276 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: for the time man, great to visit with you. Yeah, JP, 277 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: always good to talk to you.
