Speaker 1: this morning? I can tell you why I was right

13
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: because of Dave, Because when you said, when you said

14
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: seventy nine, I thought, I'm surprised Dave hasn't come in

15
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: here and said anything about that. And then you said

16
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: it again, and I was like, I thought, man, Bill

17
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: murraybo yeah, yeah, Roundhog's name, Yeah, I feel like that.

Speaker 1: Jason Garrett press conference in Atlanta here. How are we doing, guys? Hey, coach,

19
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,600

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: am good this surprised you that he does that, like

21
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: thirty seven to nine the Eagles with the win, and

22
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: he's just like, a right, how were doing? Guys? Like

23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: he does a sadder version. I have that as well.

24
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: What is it? How were doing? Guys? Yeah, that's a

25
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: thirty seven to nine version? Okay, makes sense, but I'm

26
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: telling you the we just got beat in the playoffs

27
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: to the Packers and that's the number one seed. He

28
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: does it then, you know, guys, Yeah, I don't understand that.

29
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: It doesn't surprise me. This is the guy that wears

30
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: the same clothes every day and says the same and

31
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: just say questions. Has he ever been in a bad

32
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: mood in a press conference? I remember Bill used to

33
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: have those moments when he was rich in a very

34
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: good mood. I don't remaining camp. Oh yeah, I don't

35
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: remember that. I don't remember what happened last year. Oh

36
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: it was it was during the Dead's mri fel Oh yeah,

37
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: Like the media was like are you okay? Yeah, yeah,

38
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: he was, remember that he was in a really bad mood.

39
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: Just you could tell he was in a bad mood.

40
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it wouldn't It didn't have something to do with

41
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: like UM's super salty because something had happened with a

42
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: conference call from a with another team or something, and

43
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: he told him that he told them, but he didn't

44
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: tell us. Oh, I do remember that because he got

45
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: the informations timing. Yeah, it was I think that one

46
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: really was his fault, but he certainly got blasted for it.

47
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: But something in training camp one time. I remember a

48
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: training camp ox Unity was pissed off for like two days.

49
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: I'm really sure why. I'm gonna go back and correct it.

50
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure you still got a wave, right, Amber, You

51
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: still usually get a little way from coach as he's

52
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: leaving at training camp, a wave, pat on the back.

53
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: Oh really, pat on the back, good job kind of

54
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: pat on the back. How are we doing, an Amber?

55
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: All right, let's get it to this. We got we

56
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: got some injuries to discuss. Dave's gonna give us an injury.

57
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry, a scattering report on the Chargers defense.

58
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: And because we have a little bit of a shorter show,

59
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to kind of compact all this stuff

60
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: and then get to our picks of the game here

61
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: before we'll end around probably about eleven ten eleven fifteen,

62
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and jump right in as smart

63
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: as injuries are concerned. Yesterday there were two players that

64
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: did not practice. One of them a little bit weird

65
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: because the day before that and the on the injury report,

66
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: which they said was an approximation, they said he was limited.

67
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: That was Anthony Hitchins. Then yesterday they came back and

68
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: a mended that and said he did not practice both

69
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: Monday and Tuesday. He and Sean Lee both didn't You

70
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: got that that backward? They said, They mended that and

71
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: said he was supposed to be limited last night. Yeah,

72
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: he's limited. Okay, I just saw on the injury report

73
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: he said d D and yeah, they came back and

74
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: corrected it last night because so he was limited yesterday,

75
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: did not practice on Monday? Is that accurate? I think

76
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: limited both limited both days? Got it? Okay? That being said,

77
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: do you think that affects now what you believe about

78
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: his availability come tomorrow. I fully expect him to start

79
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: on the week side. That's pretty much where I'm at.

80
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he practiced yesterday and it's it's a glorified

81
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: walk through. It's not like it's a real practice. But

82
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: he's moving around like he's gonna try to go, and

83
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna let him try to go, and

84
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: of that, I'm Glennedny. No, just I just the fact

85
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: that I guess you could go without you know, him

86
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: playing and you wouldn't have to sign anyone. But um,

87
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: I just think that. I mean, I'll just a second

88
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: what Dave said, I think he is going to play there.

89
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: They haven't made any moves either to yeah, to protect themselves.

90
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey, Lyle Collins, Belieue Collins, Thomas Smith all limited

91
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: yesterday else first day, Lyle showed up with a back injury.

92
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: What are we hearing about that? I don't know what

93
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: to think about that, because again, like they weren't even

94
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: wearing helmets, let alone pads. So this is a walk

95
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: through if I had to guess. And I don't know

96
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: for sure. Back injuries are troublesome, but they probably just

97
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: sat them down. Like you you have to report stuff

98
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: like that when a guy doesn't participate in practice. But

99
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: I think of it as more just like, ah, get

100
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: off your feet, get off you know, if your back's

101
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: hurting you short week, yeah, yeah, any anything that would

102
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: keep you off, you know, out of practice, just you know,

103
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: precautionary because you got to think about it on Tuesdays typically,

104
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: I mean they haven't haven't done anything yet. So now

105
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: we're like, this is the meat of the week, you know,

106
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: the practice, the one practice that they're counting on, and

107
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: so your body, it's just it's almost like shock for

108
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: the for the body. So I don't know everyone's dealing

109
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: with what it's like, you know, bumps and bruises here

110
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: even on the show. True. But yeah, and then actually interesting,

111
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: interesting little tidbit from practice yesterday, Jeff Heath was doing

112
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: kickoff work with Rich Beisaccio. So and we're kind of wondering, like,

113
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: can you afford to have two kickers active for this game? Well,

114
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: maybe you'll have That's one way you could work around

115
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: it if you feel good about Dan Bailey's health. I

116
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: don't know if they do. If you think he can

117
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: kick field goals but you don't want to kickoffs, you

118
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: go there, You got him. You got a way around. Now.

119
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: He was kind of knuckleball on these kicks, like they

120
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: didn't they didn't look awesome. It wasn't great. No, Yeah,

121
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: but let's go with Mike Nugent until heat his back.

122
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: I don't understand why this is. I mean, Bailey Bailey's back. Yeah,

123
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: I kind of agree, honestly, don't. I'm scared. Maybe it's

124
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: just me. I don't know. I'm just I'm expecting at

125
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: some point I'm gonna fall off. The greatest kicker of

126
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: all time with a slight injury is not the greatest

127
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: kicker of all time. I get it, I get it,

128
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: But I don't think it's necessarily that he's not healthy.

129
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: It's that you want to ease him back in. What

130
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: does this team do all the time when players come

131
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: back from injury, They never give him back the full workload.

132
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: They always just kind of eat. So this would be

133
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: a way to eat it is it's not like a

134
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: real game. That's what you can do in practice. You

135
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: can still you know he's in, and kick the ball

136
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: around and shift. No. No, what I mean by what

137
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: I mean by easing back in is about reps. So

138
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: if he has fewer reps, if he's only kicking field

139
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: goals and not doing kickoffs, that's fewer reps. That eases

140
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: him back in and make sure that as he goes

141
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: he doesn't re injure himself because of the fact that

142
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: he has too many reps. That's the only thing I'm

143
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: worried about is are they thinking about it from that stemp.

144
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go around the table here, eighty percent Bailey

145
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: or because I wouldn't think he could go and do

146
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: anything if he was. If he's less than that, I

147
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: would say eighty percent. I think he's probably a hundred percent. Well,

148
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: then if he's one hundred percent, then then then you

149
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: would just cut Nugent. Well, but again, this is the

150
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: county and just a groin injury. He could start kicking

151
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: and overdo it and reinjure himself. I think that's kind

152
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: of the point of this, right, Okay, eighty five percent,

153
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: then let's just say, would you rather have eighty five

154
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: percent Bailey or one hundred percent Nugent? Mike Nugent hasn't

155
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: been bad enough that I'm like, drastically just trying to

156
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: get rid of him. I'm not either, but I would

157
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: in the rain against the Redskins bad Miss in Atlanta. Yeah,

158
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: the only points all on all of them on pretty

159
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: hard kicks last week. I mean that none of those

160
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: were chip shots. Yeah outdoors, where was that? Oh? Yeah, no,

161
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: you're right after outdoors roof. I think he's been fine.

162
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: These are I'm famous last words, like now he's gonna

163
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: shank a game winner. But I'm sorry. Maybe it's just

164
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: I trust Dan Bailey more than I trust Nugent. Yes,

165
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: Nugent hasn't been bad. I'm not saying Nugent has been bad,

166
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: And that's not the point. The point is I trust

167
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey. Every time there's an extra point when Nugent's

168
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: out there, I'm like, oh God, oh God, what's gonna

169
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: happen when Bailey's out there? Don't even think about it,

170
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: Like I don't think about extra points. I don't think

171
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: about field goals as long as they're within a certain rain.

172
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: That's really weird that you'res like that, you were you're

173
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: bothered by that, like you expect. I'm the guy that

174
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: expects something to go wrong, and you're the guy that's like, well,

175
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: until it goes wrong, it's all good. Like I'm not

176
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: sweating Mike Nugent's ability to make an extra point until

177
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: he misses one, because he's been perfect so far so

178
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: far this year, so far, I haven't died yet, Like,

179
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the terrible way to look at Wow,

180
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: we have that I just go too hard, right, I'm saying,

181
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: always do that. You go from ten to a hundred,

182
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: like saying like I used to be, you do Yeah,

183
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: you U can't just you can't just walk around like

184
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: expecting the worst to happen for no reason, with no

185
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: evidence that it's going to happen. Is Dave really turn

186
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: someone not to walk around expecting the worst to happen?

187
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: And why are we starting an hour late? Well, I

188
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: had to go to the doctor. Right now you come

189
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: back from the doctor talking about death. I mean an invitation, right,

190
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: this is amazing, It's okay. I like the optism of

191
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: I haven't and you know, because of that, I'm gonna

192
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna change my being. I'm just gonna be optimistic

193
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: about this. And now that's going new. Maybe we're kind

194
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: of jumping the gun here because the Cowboys have been

195
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: involved in two games now where the kicker got hurt

196
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: in the middle of the game, once for them and

197
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: then the other time with the Eagles. So Heath practicing

198
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: kickoffs might just be something that it's a good point.

199
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just something that he's always done. He

200
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: stay ready, just stay ready. If we're gonna go with

201
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: Bailey this week, you know, or I don't know. If

202
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: I know, the whole limited thing doesn't necessarily guarantee oh okay,

203
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: he might be out or he's good to go. You

204
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: can't really rely on what the word limited means. But

205
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: if I'm seeing limited on there, I would just wait

206
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: another week and wait until it says full. At least

207
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 1: for Dan Bailey and his position and his injury, I

208
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: would not put him out there again. That is full.

209
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,599
Speaker 1: It really is a good point. I mean that that

210
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: with him. I mean with other people, that's fine because

211
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: you can kind of you have a little bit of

212
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: help and if it doesn't work, you can plug this

213
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: guy in. But he is your kicker, and it I

214
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: just don't know with all the other injuries, if you can,

215
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you might need to go longer at offensive line.

216
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: If say Tyrant Smith does play, we're not even talking

217
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: about him. He'll say he can play. I still I

218
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: still think maybe need more backup health there. I probably

219
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: would make Chaz Green active anyway. So let's assume let's

220
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: assume that he's one hundred percent and do you still

221
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: do you feel comfortable with him being one hundred percent

222
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: and saying let's just throw him out there. Let's give

223
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: him everything, kickoffs and field goals, and just hope that

224
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: everything goes well. And in the middle of the game

225
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: he doesn't say, man, it's starting to ache a little

226
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: bit again. You know, that's the part I think they're

227
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: a little bit concerned about, or at least I would

228
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: be a little bit concerned about. And you have to

229
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: protect yourself in that way. And you certainly don't want

230
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: to get into a game where you're now having Jeff

231
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: Heath having to again kick field goals right when you

232
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: have another kicker on your fifty. I think Mike Nugent

233
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: has to lose a game for you before you would

234
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: until you feel comfortable that he is back, yes, and

235
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: he can do everything, and he's done everything in practice,

236
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: he's done everything getting ready, and I think i'd go

237
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: with Nugent this game. His performance hasn't been anywhere near

238
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: or bad enough for me to be rushing that. All right,

239
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: So let's go at the optimism of Dave this time,

240
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: and let's just say that, all right, Let's go to

241
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: the inactives list. Sean Lee, Darren McFadden, Daniel Ross, Blake

242
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: Jarwin are all four guys, I assume we all agree

243
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: will be inactive this week. Correct, Yes, sounds right awesome.

244
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: Let's move to the final three, and here's the options

245
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: out throughout Chads Green or Tyren Smith. I think that's

246
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: an interesting one because now with Lyle showing up on

247
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: the injury report, even if Tyren Smith is healthy and

248
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: can play, or at least healthy enough to play, would

249
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: you sit Chaz Green knowing that there's a possibility with

250
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: both your starting tackles at least somewhat injured, that you

251
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: might have to have two tackles that can run out

252
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: there and play. I don't think I would put a

253
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: tackle on that list. I think that's personally. I would

254
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: start somewhere else. And okay, see if we could get

255
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 1: around it. So then let's go to the next one.

256
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey or Mike Nugent. I think we all agree,

257
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: you go one or the other. You guys agree, Yeah,

258
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: all right, Then you've got benaben Wickery. That would give

259
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: you one more if you assume that that now Cheeto's

260
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: going to be out there, and Cheeto took heath spot

261
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: last week, but it'll be back. Yeah, but you can

262
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: take Ben aben Wickery and put him down and Cheio

263
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: can play both one on our safety. Right. Okay, so

264
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: now you're at six and you no, no, you're at one, two, three,

265
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: four or five yet at six and you have to

266
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: choose between a tackle or some other position yet to

267
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: be decided. This would be easier to answer if we

268
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: knew for sure what Lyle Collins the situation was. Jason

269
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: Garrett'll probably talk about that at his presser in a

270
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: little while. If that's just like a precautionary whatever, and

271
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: he's actually if he's totally fine, I would still sit

272
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: Chaz Green. That doesn't bother me. But if that's actually

273
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: something that they're monitoring, I'd probably sit Noah brown Just.

274
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys agree Noah Browne the next guy

275
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: up or down? Can you just read off all the

276
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: guys you've got, Sean Lee, Darren McFadden, Daniel Ross, Blake Jarwin,

277
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: Mike Nugent or Dan Bailey, Benabing, Wickery Taco. Hey mean

278
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: you could probably. I mean, if you're if you really

279
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: wanted to, you can probably sit Lewis Neil too. But

280
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: that he's been up both games, he's been on the

281
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: active roster, and he's seen something I think they need

282
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: four defensive tackles. Don't you think I mean full time

283
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: defensive tackles. I'm not talking about a guy that you

284
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: can slide over in the event of injury. I don't

285
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: the way they're rotating it, I don't think they'll to

286
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: it right, but you could. Yeah, I'm just thinking of

287
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: the linebacker situation with um I mean, you got you

288
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: got Durant. I don't know how you sit a linebacker

289
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: with Hitchens, No, and Lee definitely, and Lee's definitely out

290
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: as far as we think. Yeah, yeah, Because what was

291
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett's reasoning for for McFadden being down last week?

292
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: They needed they broke down. He said, they broke down

293
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: the play count for you know, that number of handful

294
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: of guys in between the linebackers getting special teams work

295
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, the potential for injury. I mean,

296
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: he said McFadden had the lowest potential snap count out

297
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: of anybody because he plays the smallest rope. And it'd

298
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: probably be the same this week. You would think, right, yeah,

299
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: I would. I would imagine and unless you know, there's

300
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: something to be said for a short week and you wanted,

301
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: you know, and as we get into this, this scoutter report.

302
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: When you look at the Chargers run defense versus their past,

303
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: eve be a week that you might be able to

304
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: take advantage of their run defense. Well, I mean, teaser, Derek,

305
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: when is when is you know rod Smith's hook going

306
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: to be? You know? I mean what I mean. But

307
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: the thing about Rod Smith is he also has a

308
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: special team. Well right, I'm not talking about on the fifty,

309
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: on the forty six. You know, he could do some

310
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: things on special teams. But I mean this excitement over

311
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: him playing offense and all this cool stuff. I mean,

312
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: he hasn't he'd a drop in the NFL really when

313
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: it comes to being a running back, he hasn't. He

314
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: hasn't really done anything other than Canton in a preseason game.

315
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: So I mean, I just I'm kind of curious on

316
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: what are they still seeing in him other than Noah Brown.

317
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: I can't think of another guy that normally is on

318
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: your forty six that doesn't really have a role. I

319
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: think Noah Brown is starting to get more and more

320
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: of a role. He is, he does have a role.

321
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, Oh, I guess, let me say I

322
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: think that doesn't that doesn't have a role that that

323
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: can't be replaced by someone else. I'd rather beasily return

324
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: punts for me, and you think maybe sit sits Switzer.

325
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: I'd rather have no Brown active now than Switzer because

326
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: Norah Brown to me and he's he's he does more,

327
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: he does more, and he let me ask this though,

328
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean, all I know is this is that from

329
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: where we sit in the press box, and it's up

330
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: there pretty high. Um, and I maybe I'm getting older

331
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: or whatever, but I need to I need to look.

332
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: I need to figure out every game the difference between

333
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: shoes between Daz and Noah Brown, because every time I'm like, nice,

334
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: nice played by Dez and that was Noah Brown or

335
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: vice versa or something like that. So he looks like Dez.

336
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: He's playing like him sort of. You know that they

337
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: both want to get one or two catches a game.

338
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: So I kidding, are you guys not a little bit

339
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: intrigued by a little bit I'm not. Don't want to

340
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: overstate this, but the little bit of success that we

341
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: saw from Switzer, and he has some pretty decent retwitter

342
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: is on this week. I disagree with these two Switzers

343
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: on a two game role where he's doing stuff like

344
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I don't want to take away that momentum

345
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: and the chance that maybe he's figured he's done the

346
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: season so far, right, these last two games have been

347
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: his best games of the season. Yeah, I don't. I

348
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: can't remember what happened in Atlanta. He just he had

349
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 1: a nice return to like the thirty thirty five almost

350
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: broke it. And then I'm not saying he was great

351
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: by his stretch of the imagination, but I'd say he

352
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: probably had his best day returning punts he had. I

353
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: think he had an eleven yarder and didn't muff anything

354
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: except for the one playbar. He just far where he

355
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: just he is good, but he's just good for misjudging

356
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: a punt. He just looked like a goalie like in soccer,

357
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: like in a PK where you just have to decide.

358
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,239
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna guess, but I think it it's like,

359
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: oh dang it, that just changed the game. No ball

360
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: was supposed to be at the forty and it was

361
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: at the twelve. I'm not trying to say that he's

362
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: been amazing, but I think these have been his best

363
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: two games, and it seems like he's kind of built.

364
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: It looks like he might be figuring it out, so

365
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to sit him down. And confidence is growing. Well,

366
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: that's the judgment. I was just gonna say, though, The

367
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,719
Speaker 1: judgment decisions like those kind of things to me are

368
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: about confidence. When you're talking about kick returning, I mean

369
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: punt returning, and so I think the more he does it,

370
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: the more he's gonna get comfortable, the more he's gonna

371
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: kind of realize, Okay, this is the speed of which

372
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: which things happen. This is how much room I have

373
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL, this is how much room is expected.

374
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: So you gotta return these, right. I think those kinds

375
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: of things you learn and you get more confidence as

376
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: time goes on. It would be your kick returner. If

377
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: it's not him, kick kick off, McFadden's out too, probably

378
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: ends out. So would you put Rod Smith back there? Maybe? Yeah, Yeah,

379
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: he's a good one, and he does I mean he's

380
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: the he's the number two returner. I mean he's a

381
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: protector or whatever you want to call it. So Jordan

382
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: Lewis maybe yeah, can like he's got some Lewis sability,

383
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: Beasley and Rod I think would be the list. Neil no, no,

384
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: oh no, George, damn it, Derek, you threw me off.

385
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis, Rod Smith, Ord Beasley. Would I'd like to

386
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: see that list Neil do it? I would too, that'd

387
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: be fun. I remember when they kicked it short to

388
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: Sean listen more, I do it too. I remember that

389
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: went like twenty five yards. It's like one of the

390
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: greatest plays they do. Yeah, all right, I mean a

391
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: guess that Lyle Collins is fine and Chads Green is

392
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: the guy that they said, because yeah, they seem determined

393
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: and I don't think this is a bad thing, but

394
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: they're determined to keep Nohem around on the field. Is

395
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett ruled out Shaun Lee or did just Jerry

396
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: do that? Jason Garrett's never ruled out anybody that was

397
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: a John. Lee could be walking around here with his

398
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: whole leg in an air cast, and Jason would be

399
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: like all these days, like day, we'll see how it feels,

400
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: you know, we'll take him into the game day, We'll

401

Speaker 1: in the league and red zone defense, and they've forced

455
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: six turnovers against Nathan Peterman and the Bills on Sunday.

456
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: But and they have talented guys. I mean, the whole

457
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: thing starts with Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram. But you

458
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: look at it and it sounds really fearsome, and honestly

459
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: it's really not. Their past defense is top ten, They're

460
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 1: scoring defense is top ten at nineteen point six per game.

461
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,239
Speaker 1: They're twenty second in the league in total defense. And

462
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: that's because, as you pointed out before, the break. Their

463
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: run defense is the worst in the NFL. Um So,

464
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: I look at it, and I mean, okay, there's a

465
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: ton of talent upfront. You have Bosa and Melvin Ingram. Wait,

466
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: are any of y'all y'all like Harry Potter, Harry Potter,

467
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: It's okay. No, yeah, I'm in the wrong room. Yeah,

468
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: thats gonna help you there. Instead of wing guardium, lev Yosa,

469
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: win guardium, Joey Bosa, who is I wish anybody in

470
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: this room understood that, but can't gets it. Can't gets it,

471
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. Um, thanks, shut up. Joey Bosa

472
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: has ten and a half sacks. He's right there with

473
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence in terms of like the league's elite pass rushers.

474
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: And then Melvin Ingram has eight and a half. Brandon Mebain,

475
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: the former Seahawk great plays nose tackle. And then another

476
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 1: guy who told he kind of gets lost from the

477
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: edge rushers is Corey Lugit. Luit Lugit. He's a good player.

478
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: He's been a good player. He's been a Yeah, all

479
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: the and alders round pick all these guys our first

480
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: round pick. Lugit, Ingram and Bosa are all first round

481
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: picks in the last five years and they play like it. Um,

482
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: guy with like five sacks, don't think they do. That

483
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: would be Chris McCain. He is so the way this

484
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: it's a it's a three, it's a three four front.

485
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,239
Speaker 1: But just like we kind of talk about, like it's

486
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: kind of wonky, like everybody plays their own version of it. Basically,

487
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: Bosa is always down me Bane's always playing nose, and

488
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: then lujitsu defensive tackle and then Ingram or McCain when

489
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: he's on the field. They just kind of freelance. Sometimes

490
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: they put their hand on the ground, sometimes they stand up.

491
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: They ever on the same side as Bosa, No, but

492
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: they do like they're never there's no this is not

493
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: set like. They move around all the all over the place.

494
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 1: Both both of them plays. Yeah, they both played both

495
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: sides depending on how they want to do it. Um

496
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: Corey Tumor, who we talked about former Cowboy, which like

497
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: I don't remember this. He had a cup of coffee

498
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: here a few years ago. What camp remember if I

499
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: remember the college, don't even remember training Camper during the season.

500
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: He was there during the season. Corey Tumor, Okay, let's say,

501
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: maybe they got him from Seattle. Oh, I think I

502
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: don't know. Look it up. Oh yeah, okay, so I

503
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: do remember this now, Yeah, he Idaho. He had a

504
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: punt block for on There was a twenty twelve or

505
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: something Cowboys and Seahawks, and early in the game there

506
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: was a punt block for a touchdown and I think

507
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: that was some of his work. He was here briefly.

508
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: I know that. Um. But so they have Casey Hayward,

509
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: who they got from Green Bay. They drafted Desmond King,

510
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: who's his backup out of Iowa. He's a third round pick.

511
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: Trey Boston's their free safety. He's got four interceptions. But

512
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: I guess my my thing is so Casey Hayward in

513
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: the front four are pretty pretty scary, and like I said,

514
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: their top ten in past defense. But you watch the

515
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: tape and it doesn't It doesn't scare me that much

516
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: in terms of what I think the Cowboys can do.

517
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: And really it all just centers around them allowing one

518
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: hundred and forty rushing yards per game. Um. Oh, it's

519
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: part of that because and obviously being a great sack

520
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: team part of that because that's so quick to get

521
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: a field. It leaves these gaps literally, Like I think

522
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: their whole thing is just based on getting pressure and

523
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: they're really good at it. And I think it's funny

524
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: because so you know, like Rod Marinellio rotate his guys,

525
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: most defensive coordinators to the tackles, rotate. Uh Lujah comes

526
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: off the field for Darius Filing feeling and Mebane comes

527
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: off for Damian Square. Bosa and Ingram do not. I

528
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: mean m McCain comes in from time to time, but

529
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: like Ingram and Bosa are on the field all the time,

530
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: like they're not doing this rotation stuffs um so because

531
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: that's the strength of your team is getting to these guys.

532
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: Um Famously, we all know Nathan Peterman through what six

533
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: picks in that game. Uh, Joey Bosa hit the crap

534
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: out of him on three of those, like he was

535
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: getting planted, like ball came fluttering out hit like that,

536
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: yeah or or just so it wasn't just a pet

537
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: bat pass. This was like heat hits. I feel I

538
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: feel bad for him. His first pick was just a

539
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: flare out to the fullback that the hit the fullback

540
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: right here, popped over his head and into a defender's

541
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: hands for a touchdown. The next one was his fault.

542
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: It was just a great read that Casey Hayward made

543
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: on a post route. Third one, Bosa literally murdered him

544
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: and the ball just fluttered down field and there's not

545
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: a whole lot you can do about it. And then

546
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: the next two combination of bad throw plus pressure. And

547
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: then when Tyrod Taylor got in the game, he was

548
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: hit and sacked by or hit by Bosa. Yep, Ingram

549
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: picks it up and runs it in. They had a

550
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: party back there at the quarterball and that's that's kind

551
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: of what they do, like the classic Ingram and Bosa

552
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: meet at the quarterback. The thing is is like, down

553
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 1: the middle of this defense, I'm not that impressed. Okay,

554
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: So your linebackers Corey tumor j Tavis Brown, who's a

555
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: fifth round pick that Brian really liked out of Yome

556
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: or somewhere some school. That's not a big deal. KYLEI.

557
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: Emmanuel is their sam linebacker. Again, like, just you're not

558
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: talking about like pro bowlers here in the middle of

559
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: the defense, Jalielade and Trey Boston or your safeties, and

560
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: again like I'm not saying they're bad players, but obviously

561
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 1: this the Chargers are eighth and pass defense, but like

562
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: they're not. It's not the Legion of Boom. And I

563
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: think that's a big part of the reason why they're

564
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: thirty second against the run. Like I think if Brandon

565
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: Mebane and Corey Lujit don't stop the run upfront, because

566
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 1: they're really good players, like, if they don't just eat

567
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: it up at the line of scrimmage, it's gonna go

568
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: for yards. And that's what I saw on the tape

569
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: is like you see some negative one yard runs, some

570
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: no gains when the guy can't get past the first level.

571
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: But if he does, these linebackers and safeties just get

572
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: washed out of the play. And I actually went and

573
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: charted it against the Bills, who are a great running team,

574
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 1: Like that's what they do better than anything else. And

575
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: I know, you know, the box score kind of gets

576
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: wonky when you lose a game by thirty points, But

577
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: when the game was still competitive first half, it's only

578
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: seventeen seven, the Bills had eleven carre No, they had

579
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: eight carries for seventy seven yards. Oh wow. They finished

580
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: the first half with eleven carries for eighty yards. So

581
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: they I mean, and they ran for one seventy three

582
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: on the day. I know, like I said, that's kind

583
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: of skewed because it's a blowout, still one seventy three,

584
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: even in a blowout that that's a lot. You're on

585
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: pace for one sixty at half of a I mean,

586
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: so when I said when the game's still competitive, Lashaw

587
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: McCoy was doing well, really well, and so and sorry Nick,

588
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: but I think it's interesting. I think it's a great

589
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: parallel Nathan Peterman, Like you think the Bills are worried

590
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: about him throwing all over them. No, they probably they

591
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: loaded up to stop the run, or they at very

592
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: least were focused on the run. They still didn't do anything.

593
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: I think that Bode's incredibly well for the Cowboys, And honest,

594
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: I mean, if they can't run on these guys, I

595
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: don't know what that says about Alfred with whoever they

596
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: got back their line or I mean, I would I

597
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: would find it shocking if they can't have a good

598
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: day on the ground, just based on the personnel and

599
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: the fact that they haven't been able to do better

600
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: against virtually anyone that they've played. Same. I mean, the

601
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: Jaguars ran really well on them too, and I mean,

602
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: it's not the Jaguars passing game doesn't really strike fear

603
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: in anybody's heart. So that's what I'm looking at. Very

604
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: interesting this defense. It's interesting because it's right right up front.

605
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,239
Speaker 1: That's where all of their stuff is. Like right now,

606
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: they're ranked as you said, thirty, I mean st third

607
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: in the league in sacks with thirty. They're ranked four

608
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: in the league with twelve I n t s now.

609
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: Of course, a lot of that came last week and

610
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: kind of vaulted them up a little bit, but that's

611
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: been what they kind of have made there, had made

612
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: their mark on this season. They're also eighth and takeaways,

613
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,719
Speaker 1: So they're a defense that can get some plays, make

614
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: some big plays, get some takeaways, get some sacks. So

615
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: if you don't put them in those kind of situations,

616
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: which that's the most important part. Make sure you don't

617
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: get them in those situations where they know you have

618
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: to throw. If it's third and long, it probably is

619
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: not going to be a good situation. It does help

620
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: if Tyrant's back, but it's probably not going to be

621
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: your best situation if it's third and long against this front.

622
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: And like I mean, I think that's such a great

623
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: coroll area. As a team with an unproven quarterback and

624
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: a strong running game, not saying Dak's unproven, but a

625
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: passing game that you don't necessarily respect, and a team

626
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: that likes to run the ball in an offensive line

627
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: that can run the ball. The Chargers couldn't do anything

628
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: against them. They obviously won the game going away because

629
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: they forced six turnovers, but they couldn't do anything to

630
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: stop the run. I was like, protect the ball and

631
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: you got a shot, I hope. So, I mean, it

632
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: seems like it should be that simple if against a

633
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: defense that's this bad against the run, anything particularly stands

634
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: out for you, guys, Nick and Amber as you look

635
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: through these or listen to these different things about this team. Well,

636
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it's been said a couple of times

637
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: about how when it gets down into the red zone,

638
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: just how good they are. You know, they for a

639
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: team that doesn't stop the run very well, they do

640
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: stop it when you get down inside the red zone.

641
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,479
Speaker 1: And not only are they a second or third in

642
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: the NFL, but they're averaging only like one or two

643
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: yards per play, so it really clamps down in there.

644
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: So for a team that doesn't score a lot of

645
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns from long distance. They don't have big plays. The

646
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: Cowboys don't do that. They when they score, and it

647
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: seems like it's been a while since we've seen touchdowns

648
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: from this team. But when that happens, it's they have

649
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: to grind it out, and this is not a good

650
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: team to grind it out against. So that'll be interesting

651
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: to see what happens there. Going back to the whole

652
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: their defensive line and the sacks. I mean, their team

653
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: ranks number three in sacks, So that's the whole thing.

654
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: Nothing new that we haven't talked about. With how the

655
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys are right now and their offensive line dealing with problems,

656
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see. Even with tying back, if he

657
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: does play, I wonder how good he'll be able to

658
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: play because not aside from the groin injury, we need

659
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: to remember, he still has that back pain, back problems,

660
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: so if they put him out there, I'm really I

661
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: don't know how effective he will be given a side

662
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: of him being an old pro player and one of

663
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: the best players that this team has. But on top

664
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: of that, Dak is he gonna be able to throw

665
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: the ball again, connect with the receivers or they're gonna

666
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: be able to be in sync this time. I don't know,

667
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: is still same thing we keep talking about for the

668
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Nothing new, Just I do believe that.

669
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: I mean, this defense is not great. They do some things,

670
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: but the Cowboys are their worst enemy right now. And

671
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: if they don't figure out themselves what to do and

672
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: how to fix these issues that they're dealing with, then

673
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna see another loss. You know, I think that

674
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: they really have to run at these guys and those

675
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: two if those two defensive ends aren't coming off the field,

676
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: then make them work. Make them work in the running game.

677
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: I mean that that's where they're not going to be

678
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: as effective if you can keep running at him. I mean,

679
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: Bosa does the same thing that um Michael Bennett does

680
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,719
Speaker 1: in Seattle where he wears you know, kicker shoulder pads,

681
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, where he just doesn't want to be bogged down. Stuff.

682
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: That's that's good. I get it. You want to get

683
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,959
Speaker 1: around the edge quickly, but run at him, make him tackle,

684
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: make him square up. And he faced Keith Smith a

685
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: couple of times or you know, whoever whoever's trying to

686
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: block him, and really, you know, put some work on him,

687
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: because I mean, he sounds like he's got an all

688
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: day motor and all that. But you gotta just keep

689
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: beating them up and they're gonna come up the field

690
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: like that. I think that's where you run it. You

691
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: have to run right at them, right off tackle kind

692
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: of thing. Yeah, yeah, this isn't really about the matchup,

693
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: but I was just curious. Bosa said yesterday when he

694
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: talked to the Dallas media that he thought he would

695
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: be a Cowboy for sure. And it's it's been reported

696
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: many times by many members of the media that the

697
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys say they would have picked Zeke regardless of Bosa

698
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: was there or not. It was Jalen Ramsey or Zeke,

699
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 1: no matter what y'all agree with that that they should

700
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: obviously done. This is hindsight in its purest form, because

701
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: you never, I mean, even as good as you felt

702
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: about Joey Bosa, I don't think anybody would have guessed

703
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 1: that he'd have twenty two sacks in twenty two games

704
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: or whatever. But I mean, he looks like the real deal,

705
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: and I just wonder, like knowing what I know now,

706
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: and okay, don't worry, don't worry. So much about the

707
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: Zeke suspension. I'm just talking about in terms of the

708
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: player and what they do for you honestly right now,

709
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: even if you look at how they've performed since they've

710
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: gotten in the league, I think I think I would

711
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: prefer to have Jalen Ramsey over Bosa. Jalen Ramsey, I

712
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: think is really well and to have a corner now

713
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: for the next you know, who knows how many years,

714
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: a guy that you think could grow into being really

715
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: the lockdown kind of corner that you can put on

716
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: any receiver. I think I'd rather have that right now.

717
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: And that's really more about what the production they're getting

718
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: right now from from their defensive front, well, the Cowboys

719
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: are getting from the defensive front. I think it would

720
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: be I'd rather have that cornerback because that scenario where

721
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: I think I got a lot of question marks right now,

722
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: here's a take that I'll mumble. I don't think Jalen

723
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: Ramsey would be what he is right now if he

724
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: played here because of the way they play him, because

725
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: of the scheme. Yeah, I kind of agree with that. So,

726
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: but you don't think they would get a little more

727
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: flexible and say, hey, this guy's good enough. What we

728
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: just need to put him man man let him, let

729
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: him maybe cover guys maybe, But I can't say that

730
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: with confidence. Jacksonville has a lot more talent up there

731
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: in the in the front seven, especially in the in

732
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: the defensive line. Yeah, you know when you pick for

733
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 1: when you pick in the in the top five for

734
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: seven years in a row or whatever it's been. I mean,

735
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: when you're gonna get some really good players and they're

736
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: finally now all kind of coming together. It's like Barry

737
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: Church was right when he said about the defensive said,

738
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,439
Speaker 1: our talent over here is a lot better. I just think,

739
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: and I think the world of Zeke and to be

740
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,439
Speaker 1: I was, I was driving the Zeke bandwagon at draft time,

741
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: like I thought that was the best move, and it

742
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: played out exactly like I thought. I either was driving it.

743
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: I think we by the time the draft day rolled around,

744
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: all three of me, Brian and Taylor were pretty firmly

745
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: on team. But let me let me be clear. I

746
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 1: wasn't saying Zeke, I mean Jaylen over Zeke. I still

747
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: think Zeke was the pick. I'm saying, if you had

748
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,439
Speaker 1: to choose between USA and Jayalen, I go with Jalen.

749
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: The point I'm trying, I'd go at the pass rusher always.

750
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: The point that I'm trying to make I think I

751
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: agree with Nick, which is that as good as Zeke is,

752
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 1: you can find Jordan Howard's and jay at Gies throughout

753
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: the draft and behind this offensive line that should be

754
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: good enough. The thought of having ten point five sack

755
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa lining up on the opposite side from eleven

756
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: point five sacked Marcus Lawrence, I mean that sounds pretty gross,

757
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: but let's not forget about this. Like ever since Zeke

758
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: got here, this offense has been putting up huge points,

759
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: and over these last two weeks, when weeks when Zeke

760
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,919
Speaker 1: has not been here, this offense has very to a halt,

761
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 1: very very valid point. I would argue, though, that there's

762
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: a you could find young talent to play running maybe

763
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: and do that for you. Maybe the thing about is

764
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 1: maybe you could find one. I don't know if they'll

765
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: be as good as Zeke has been. Remarkable since best

766
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: best rushing season in the history of the franchise came

767
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: from a third round pick with this offensive I get that,

768
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: but what what year in his career did he do that?

769
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: Third Okay, So was he going to do that as

770
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: a rookie. I don't know. Maybe he was, but I

771
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: hear you, I had a point going there wouldn't have

772
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 1: been my point. My point is I don't know that anybody.

773
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: I don't know that there were I don't know that

774
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: there were a lot of rookies that necessarily would have

775
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: come in here and immediately gotten the production that Zeke got. Me, Like,

776
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,919
Speaker 1: look at Kareem Hunt. Kareem Hunt started this year playing

777
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: phenomenally well. His production has just no was dived the

778
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: fact that he was able to keep right but the

779
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: fact that Zeke was able to keep that same level

780
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: throughout last year and actually get better as the season

781
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: went on, and then this year to have again the

782
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: same kind of production, I just think you got to

783
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 1: give him a little bit more credit than you're saying.

784
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: You can just stroll somebody out there and do that. Absolutely,

785
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: but it's still something I wonder about, Like I'd love

786
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 1: to see what Jordan Howard looked like here, you know what,

787
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: since we're talking about that, and I man, I got

788
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: a lot of Twitter messages yesterday about me saying that

789
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,439
Speaker 1: I thought that Winz is better right now than Dak.

790
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,760
Speaker 1: Let me say this though, I wouldn't have traded anything

791
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: about that because even if Winz is there, like the

792
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys got a much better deal. I don't know what

793
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 1: they would have gotten in the fourth round at at

794
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 1: you know, running back, but the combination of having Zeke

795
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 1: and Dak, it's pretty special, much better than anything else.

796
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't matter who what you did, if

797
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: you you had yeah, let's say Wentz felt you and

798
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't even the Cowboys decision. But if he did

799
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: fall there or christ they could have traded up to

800
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: one or whatever. I wouldn't have done that at all.

801
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they have a much better deal

802
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: here because I think wins is a little bit further

803
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: along right now than Dak. Not a whole lot, but

804
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: just a little bit. But then what you got on

805
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: the flip side and to get you know, Zeke, and

806
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: then the bond that those two guys have, and I

807
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:21,919
Speaker 1: think you're going to see that for a long time.

808
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: I think I think these two guys, I think I

809
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: think Zeke kind of brings out the crazy a little

810
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 1: bit and Dak, and I hope that Dak will kind

811
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 1: of can maybe help calm zeke down a little bit too.

812
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,520

877
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 1: the locker room is open right now, and so I'm

878
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: holding these guys from going directly the locker room and

879
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: getting what they need to get from these players, so

880
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: real quickly, we do want to get our predictions for

881
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: the game. Let's start with Dave Um. I don't. I

882
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: don't have a ton of confidence in this team based

883
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: on what I've seen from them the last two weeks.

884
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: How could you? Um? But I like I felt a

885
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: lot better watching that tape of the Bills game, which

886
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: a game that the Chargers won by thirty. They gave

887
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: up one hundred and eighty rushing yards. I just I

888
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: gotta believe that this offense can make some hay against

889
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: a unit that's that bad against the run. And I

890
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,240
Speaker 1: think Tyrn Smith will play. I think that'll help mitigate

891
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa, which is the best thing

892
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 1: that they got going, and like, I feel like I've

893
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,439
Speaker 1: disrespected Keenan Allen to the point where he's probably gonna

894
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: have like a two game. But it kind of disrespect.

895
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: But their offense just doesn't it it's it's okay, Like

896
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't. I just can't imagine that they're just gonna

897
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: blitz the Cowboys. I mean, the Cowboys can hold it.

898
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: They can beat the Chiefs, who are one of the

899
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: and I know Shanley was out there, so spare me.

900
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: But they can hold it together against the Eagles, who

901
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: are a much better offense for a half. Like I so,

902
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: I think you can put together an improved effort, if

903
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: not a great effort against these guys, because there's just

904
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 1: not a lot there that scares the crap out of me.

905
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: You have to be able to run the ball. If

906
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,399
Speaker 1: if they can't run the ball against this team, whether

907
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:08,240
Speaker 1: or not, Zik's there, I mean time to talk draft.

908
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: That's I mean, it's just that would be bad and

909
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: pick sorry. I think I think they'll rebound it thick thick,

910
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: remember that part about it, Like we're kind of a

911
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: hurry here. I don't want to I don't want to

912
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: go to lock. I think they'll I think they'll play better.

913
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 1: It won't look great, they'll win like twenty twenty one

914
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: to sixteen, all right, amber, Um, I'm not feeling confident,

915
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 1: but I mean, it can't. It can't happen again, which

916
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: definitely can't. It can't, definitely, but I can't watch it again.

917
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: I can't see this team lose another game. So I'm

918
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: gonna be hopeful and expect them to win this game.

919
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: They have to win. I think they should be motivated

920
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: enough and angry enough to come out there and do

921
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: what they can to start scoring points, and I would

922
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: say they win this game twenty four twenty two, all right.

923
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: I can't imagine there's ever been a time when I've

924
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: picked the Cowboys to lose four straight games when they

925
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: didn't have a losing record, and any you know, it's

926
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: one thing that if the ship is sinking here and

927
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 1: all that, but I picked him to lose three straight games,

928
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: and I feel like they should probably lose this one.

929
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: But I think what you guys are saying, like the

930
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 1: Chargers are four and six for a reason. You can

931
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,240
Speaker 1: say all you want to about these great pass rushers,

932
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 1: but they're losing games too. So Rivers, Yeah, he's great,

933
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,439
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a half of he's four and six.

934
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: So something's not clicking for them. Thanksgiving has a day

935
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: to kind of switch, you know, kind of flip the

936
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 1: script a little bit sometimes when things are going well.

937
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: I've seen it, you know, them not play so well

938
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,359
Speaker 1: and vice versa. So I think the Cowboys will win

939
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: the game. I'm gonna say twenty nine to twenty three

940
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: in overtime, twenty nine to twenty three in overtime, and

941
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 1: my crazy prediction is a defensive touchdown, and if I

942
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: want to get real crazy, it might be the game winner.

943
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: But I see a defensive touchdown for the Cowboys in

944
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 1: this game, and I see some cool uniforms, all right.

945
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys are gonna win this game mainly

946
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 1: because I think they're better than the Chargers. I think

947
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: they're actually, frankly, I think they're better than all the

948
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 1: next four teams that they're gonna play. Whether they can

949
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 1: put four together, who knows. I think they're better than

950
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: those teams though, and so I think they'll start this week.

951
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: They'll get a win this week, they'll get us excited,

952
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: they'll get on a roll here, and then we'll see

953
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: what happens for these next four or five games when

954
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 1: they're gonna need to get wins in my opinion, if

955
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna even make a run at the playoffs. So

956
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: I think they get to win this weekend. I think

957
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: it's a low scoring game. I don't expect either team

958
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: to get much going offensively most of the day. I

959
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: think it's a seventeen sixteen victory for the Cowboys and

960
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: they get out of Thanksgiving Day for the six and five,

961
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 1: six and five record. That's my favorite game of the year,

962
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,800
Speaker 1: is it. Absolutely love the Thanksgiving Day game. And I

963
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 1: love the fact that we get to work it. I

964
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: do too. There is like I don't love it. I

965
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: don't like working Christmas, I'll just say that, right, But

966
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: I love this week like it's fun. There's an energy

967
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: in the building there, it's you know, everybody in America

968
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: watches this game, whether they like the Cowboys or not.

969
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 1: And you know, you know, I'm supposed to be thankful,

970
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 1: and it's pretty cool that to cover football for a living.

971
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 1: So it's exactly right. And I haven't missed, you know,

972
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't been there for Thanksgiving dinner with

973
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 1: my family. You know, obviously in what nineteen years, But

974
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: there's something cool about it. And you have kids and

975
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: you know that. You know, where's that or where's Nick?

976
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: Oh he's right there, he's watching it. You know what

977
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: we're watching. He's at the game, Like, oh yeah, that's right.

978
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: I mean people have to work these games Christmas Day,

979
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 1: they have NBA games. Well, somebody's working it, somebody, and

980
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: we got I feel like it's an obligation that we

981
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,320
Speaker 1: get to do that. I mean, I absolutely love it.

982
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: It's interesting to say that about the kids. We've turned

983
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: our Thanksgiving holiday into Thanksgiving at the stadium, So my

984
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 1: family comes out for the game and we enjoy the experience.

985
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: They enjoy the experience. It's become a part of what

986
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: we do for Thanksgiving because that's just kind of our

987
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,239
