10
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: you see things like this, and I know that there's

11
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: no superstitions they would ever say, but hey, I gotta

12
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: get ready for that indoor stadium this weekend. Right, climate's

13
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: a little better this weekend. I asked that question about

14
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: that one day. You asked that last week, But three

15
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: weeks ago I asked him about practice and outside any

16
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: week in a row, any commerce going on in Ford Center? Uh?

17
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: We we played. No, I don't know, I haven't looked.

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: They rip off the times for practices and there's no parties. No, no,

19
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's what I'm saying, we had SMU play

20
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: last night, but they were using it. They were using

21
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: it during practice times for their bowl game. How about Frisco,

22
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: by the way, just real quick, this burgeoning metropolis that

23
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: we've got here, you got a bowl game playing just

24
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 1: down the streets called Frisco Bowl Game too. You gotta

25
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: respect that, now, did you guys catch it at all?

26
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: I saw SMU got off to a terrible start. I

27
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: saw the score in the second half. I was like,

28
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: you gotta love sponsorship into football games because when they

29
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: went to go kick the field goals, up comes the

30
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: net Gil Dan with a giant Yeah. The like, okay,

31
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: can just be Frisco Bowl Game, but you're gonna get

32
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: all your money from Gotta get it, gotta get it off.

33
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: But no, All State does it. During the other bullet

34
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah right, they do it. But yeah, no the

35
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: outdoors again. I think Garrett was talking about it's just

36
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: two pretty good day, sixties seven degrees, right, Sonny, or

37
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: something was going on in the Ford side. No, they're on.

38
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: They're on a superstitious role right now. Freak many that's

39
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: what he's doing. Streaked. He won't admit it, And I

40
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: asked him that I asked that question. I said, hey,

41
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: you know creatures, I have it, you know this and that,

42
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: and he's no, no, no no, just taking an opportunity. You know.

43
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: I even put the scoreboard up on the tower. Yeah,

44
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: they got to do their two minute drill today. Yeah,

45
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: at twenty three twenty they're down. Yeah, they're down. Get

46
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: back field goal or a touchback. But from Jeff Heath,

47
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: no one, a walk off touch back here, we've never

48
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: seen that before. Well, guys, you're talking about this three

49
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: game win streak. Well it's time two feed zeke ezekiel

50
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: a practice four the first time yesterday. But we're still

51
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: watching other guys. DeMarcus Lawrence, you're newly minted pro bowler. Yeah,

52
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: is most likely not going to practice today or not

53
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: do anything. But he's out there. Yeah, he's out there.

54
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: That's a good that's a good sign. Went through the walkthrough. Yeah,

55
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: just trying to manage him. I think, most likely to

56
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: get him to the game. Tough guy. I mean, if

57
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: he if he can play, he'll play. Oh absolutely. I

58
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: think a lot of people have kind of credited his

59
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: success this year to being fully healthy because they were

60
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, at the end of the year

61
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: last year he was hanging on by a thread there. Yeah,

62
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: he really will. He had to have that surgery pretty

63
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: quickly into the offseason. He could have shut it down

64
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: October November, and just I think he felt bad that

65
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: he sat out four games suspended and said he owed

66
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: it to the team. That's leadership right there. Yeah, some

67
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: guys will shoot it down, shoot it down, shut it down,

68
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: shut it down. They'll shut it down. Are you implying

69
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: somebody in particularly some guys will shut it down. I

70
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: just thought i'd asked my follow up question. Well, you

71
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: know we've talked about that. You are about Orlando Scandrick

72
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: possibly be being done the next two games and he's limited. Yeah,

73
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: he could return. Orlando Scandrick is Yeah, yesterday kind of

74
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: thinks he looks better, kind of got Whin died. He

75
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: was doing some scout team stuff. So that's a good

76
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: sign if if he's coming back in that way. You know, again,

77
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: this time of year, it's all hands on deck. We

78
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: know that. I'm not telling anybody's something they already don't know,

79
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: but you know they've got they've got some young guys

80
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: playing very well. I think he acknowledges that the young

81
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: guys are playing well, and you know, he's got to

82
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: get healthy and get back and contribute when he can.

83
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: Hopefully it will be sooner than later. I think it's

84
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: highly questionable. Okay, Mickey's now taking the approach, and I

85
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: don't I don't disagree with him, though I was taking

86
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: I was taking the high road because everybody thinks that

87
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: I hate Scandrick. You know. Yeah, but you're a professional.

88
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: I mean you're gonna try. Yeah, so wait, highly questionable

89
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: what to play to play? You don't think he's gonna play. No,

90
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: if he doesn't play this week, he's not gonna play

91
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. Yeah. That's just how I feel,

92
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: which is fause I should have just went ahead and

93
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: said that. But then again, well yeah, but but it's

94
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: it's when I do this, it's like I'm being critical

95
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: of Scandrick and this is all I will be critical

96
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: of this though, I will say this, He is a captain,

97
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: you know, And this what bothers me about his captain's ship.

98
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: That the fact that that you know, if you're a captain,

99
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: you're looked at as a leader. You're looked at as

100
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: trying to help the team win, you know, And and

101
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: if if you can't go, you can't go. I get it.

102
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: But if you look at also though the history of

103
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: this injury, you know, he plays a position where he

104
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: doesn't have to play every single play. He's not getting attacked.

105
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks have come back and they play every single play.

106
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: I question though, the captaincy. That's what I'm doing. How

107
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: I think that if a guy like Barry Church was

108
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: a captain last night? I think Barry Church Barry Church

109
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: trying to play with a broken forearm, you know. Basically. Yeah,

110
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: So I'm just trying to say, is that I'm a

111
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: little that that's upsetting to me that you know, you're

112
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: fighting for your lives right now, and to to just

113
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: I'm taking Mickey's point and going a little further with it. Yeah,

114
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: that that to me, you know, I I you know,

115
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: get out there, try and help do what you have

116
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: to do. But you don't think that he showed enough

117
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: to the team because they're the ones who voted on it.

118
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: That that's that's now that you have to That's another

119
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: that's another question, another conversation for another. That's a that's

120
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of lemonade down the road. But this is

121
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: what I'm captains to me, do whatever they take to show.

122
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: Now you could say, oh, he had the hand injury

123
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: and all that, and he played through that, granted that

124
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: great job. And I think that we've been very complimentary

125
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: of him when he's played. Well. Kansas City game, I

126
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: thought he was outstanding. Yeah, but they need you now,

127
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: you know they And Rob said that, I think you

128
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: said this yesterday. His point was veterans. You want veterans

129
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: on the field when things are going. You know, when

130
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: things are happening. You know this is not going to

131
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: be an easy game because just from the fact that

132
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: they're there, that the way the Seahawks play and scramble

133
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: drills and guys running all the place, you better have

134
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: veteran players on the field that are going to make plays. Yeah, yep.

135
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: And so that bothers me that aspect of passing yards

136
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: that Russell Wilson has had to have it in a season,

137
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: and a lot of it is because who's said he

138
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: threw the ball five hundred times. I believe I'm right,

139
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: run the ball, yeah, throwing it everywhere. So if you

140
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: can get your secondary nice and feel okay, we've got

141
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: this covered, you know, maybe this guy's a little beat up,

142
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: but at least we have depth. Yeah, it's a reason

143
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: why they're throwing it as much as they are. They

144
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: have to. If he if he could help it playing

145
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: right corner, I would have hope that he would have

146
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: been out there. And again I, hey, well he's got

147
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: a back injury. I get it, broken bones, I get it.

148
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: But there's also you know, what are you doing? I mean,

149
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: is it? How important is it really to you to

150
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: do that? But is it? I mean, I guess I'm

151
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: gonna play a devil's advocate here. You can't feel free?

152
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: Is it all up to him? I mean, how much

153
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: of it is is the training staff and the medical

154
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: that look at him and say last week and just

155
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: say you're not there yet to where you can function

156
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: out there. He doesn't want to hurt the team either

157
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: if he's out there and he really can't. It's one

158
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: of those weird function the way he normally does. It's

159
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: one of those weird injuries though, because they have to

160
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: listen to him. Yeah, it's like a you know, you

161
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: can test the strength of a hamstring and say, you know,

162
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: I think you're we can let you do this right,

163
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: But with this particular injury, it's not like he's got

164
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: bones crumbling in his back and they're loose. That's just

165
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: got a crack in them. Oh but you can watch him.

166
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but you can control what you do and

167
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: what you say. Yeah, that's all I'm saying. Well, we'll see.

168
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: I appreciate you being because I'm the one of the

169
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: panel that is always on him. I just well, I

170
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: just think and and I'm not trying to be that way.

171
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to say, these games it's come down

172
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: to you need everybody playing. And if he would have

173
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: come out and say I can't play it's too painful,

174
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: I respect that, because he did show up and play

175
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: with a busted hand, I respect that. But you know,

176
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: you you brought up the point. These these young kids

177
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: out there playing, and God bless them, they're playing the

178
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: best they can, but it would be nice to have

179
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: somebody with some experience playing in this game. Did his

180
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: face these receivers? Secondary? I want Orlando Scandrick on the

181
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: field against Russell Wilson if at all possible. Yeah, I

182
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: just want to point out he's played through some stuff.

183
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: I mean he did last year. He had a bunch

184
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: of kind of nagging stuff that that he tried to

185
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: play through last year coming off the knee injury. So

186
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: then that's kind of why I'm asking why not. Now

187
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: that's my point, Well, because we have seen him show

188
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: up and play, are we for certain that you say

189
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: highly questionable? I'm not just ruling him out this week yet.

190
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: It's just the I don't know, my perception. I don't know,

191
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: just kind of listening and watching, and that you're usually

192
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: not wrong with your perceptions on that. I just just

193
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: kind of what I get. You know, that's a good

194
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: sign he got out there and did something. But though, yeah,

195
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: but the stuff you just said is valid what he

196
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: did before, Yeah, but that was before three rookies are

197
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: out there and yeah, kind of playing, playing dominant roles

198
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: and yeah, playing pretty well. Yeah see that's that's again

199
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: the captaincy ship. To me, what games has Skendrick missed

200
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: the past two last two years? So he missed the

201
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: Raiders and then he missed the Goshrooms Giants, So I mean,

202
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: you know, you're looking at the quarterbacks he got okay,

203
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: who was the Giants? He couldn't throw to anyone. Sterling

204
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: Shephard was questionable up until game time. Derek Carr. You know,

205
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: he was trying to get his receivers going. But now

206
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: you have someone, you know, as Mickey's pointed out, the

207
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: passing quarterback Russell Wilson, guy who scrambles can get anything

208
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: to anyone down the field. These corners need that help

209
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: in it. You could have used it last week, got

210
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: it rolling in the second half. You do not want Yeah,

211
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: you do not want to see fifty five yard pass

212
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: interference penalties be given up in this game. You do

213
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: not want to see fifty five yard completions. And that's

214
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: what I'm saying with Scandrick though, if he played, you know,

215
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: maybe you don't get a guy that's peeking in the

216
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: backfield or loses his guy or knows hay coverage. I mean,

217
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna play his assignment. He's gonna do what he

218
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: has to exactly see. That's that's where Rob's point was

219
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: well made yesterday, and I am I totally agree with that.

220
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, you know what, just because young

221
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: kids are playing with me, I'm trying. I'm thinking of

222
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: the team. I'm thinking of, Hey, what is our best

223
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: chance to win this football game? You know, and it's

224
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: getting your best players out on the field, and you know,

225
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: and and and Mickey is Mickey has kind of throwing

226
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: something out there that is absolutely correct. Well, I hear you.

227
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: But on the other hand, David Irving is giving his

228
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: own update on his health. Of course, he has been outcussion,

229
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: but he took to Twitter and said, mentally, I'm fine.

230
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: I'm still having headaches every day. It's hard to put

231
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: a finger on how long I'll be out. I'm taking

232
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: it day by day. Well does mentally that doesn't encompass headaches.

233
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: That's the mind, isn't it. I don't know. Well, is

234
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: he referencing like those cognitive type of tests that I

235
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: think he's saying, I recognize stuff. I see, I'm not

236
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: but I'm still having nicky Nicky said it again yesterday.

237
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: The answer that Jason Garrett gave on that was he's

238
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: not he's not responding correctly to the questions he's being asked. Yeah,

239
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: that is it. Once you say, hey, well David, I

240
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: don't know what the questions are, but you know, once

241
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: and he gives some answer, you're like, WHOA, that's not good,

242
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 1: and it's better and it's it's a little more deeper

243
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: than how many fingers do I have like they used

244
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: to in the old days, And the answer was always

245
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: the same. Yeah, these doctors and trainers do a great

246
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: job here and they're not going to let anybody play

247
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: that's not ready to play. Right. Well, we all maybe

248
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 1: that should say about Scandrick too, So do we have

249
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: any And no one's really asked um what they thought

250
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: of how Ashes filled in these last couple of games. Well,

251
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: while we're still on injuries, let's get to Tyrn Smith

252
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: because we're talking about guys we definitely need out there. Yeah,

253
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: and he's not expected to practice again and today this

254
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: is Tyren Smith, five time pro bowler. Now what do

255
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: we think about this week? Is is it still just

256
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: an outside you're throwing up their brain? Oh no, I'll

257
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: let Rob comment if he wants to, real quick or Mickey,

258
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: I'm worried about this one. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like

259
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: I've talked too much as is. No. I mean, you know,

260
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: I think I think sometimes these injuries pique other discussions.

261
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: I wish I I just can I say this, I'd

262
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: be surprised I entered the week being I'd be surprised

263
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: if he practiced it all this week. Doesn't mean that

264
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: necessarily he couldn't try to give it a go pregame,

265
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: but you know, nice brain, and given the other stuff

266
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: he's had, I just don't see them trying to put

267
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: him on the field for a bunch of practice snaps

268
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: and is he even ready to get out there and function?

269
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: I thought I thought Jason didn't understand Todd's question when

270
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: he asked about him and a brace. Yeah, I thought

271
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: what Todd was saying, I know he's hurt. Can he

272
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: play with a brace? Can you brace it up and

273
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: he'll be okay? And I think Jason was interpreted it

274
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: as shitty, wear a brace all the time and prevent injuries.

275
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: And I think that wasn't the question because that's what

276
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: I thought. It's like, hey, tape a brace on there

277
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: and tell him to do the Michael Irvin thing and

278
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: stand for three seconds. Yeah, that's all I need out

279
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: of you. Three seconds? Yeah, I think to me, and

280
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: this is just me my matchups today going up on

281
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot com, I wrote about I wrote about

282
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: Byronbell playing against Frank Clark. That's what I did. Well,

283
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: It's good to know that because if that's most likely

284
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: going to be the situation you better be prepared. Yeah,

285
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: you better be and you know and and hey, you've

286
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, we've you know, coach even talked about some

287
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: of the stuff on the walk off with Jonathan Cooper

288
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: and how they've improved in that area as well. You're

289
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: gonna need you're gonna need one of your best games

290
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: against from from Byron Beell. You are, he's a veteran guy.

291
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: He's been in through these battles. You know, this is

292
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: very similar to the kind of cat he dealt with

293
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: last week with Bruce Irving, you know, quickness, but maybe

294
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: with this guy a little bit more power, So you know,

295
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: be ready for that. But they've got a find ways

296
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: to help him. You can't let it be a sixty

297
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: five play game and all of a sudden five plays

298
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: affect how you how you win this game or lose

299
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: this game. Yeah, exactly, So be prepared for the twelve personnel,

300
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: thirteen personnel, Hey, number twenty one, get to chip a

301
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: little bit this week, you know, go hit somebody. You know,

302
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: that's some of the stuff is going to have to

303
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: happen in this football game with Byron Bell playing left

304
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: tackle or at least run right at him. Make him. Yeah, now,

305
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: This is where Mickey's absolutely right, and this is where

306
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: I put it in my thoughts. Number One thing, he's

307
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: not playing in Seattle right now, which is good. Crowd

308
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: noise is huge there. We all know that you guys

309
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: all experienced the crowd there. That's gonna help Barron Bell.

310
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: A second thing is Cowboys running game. That will help

311
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: him even more. Pound at him, pound at him, pound

312
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: at him. Keep running the football. We've seen it with Jacksonville,

313
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: We've seen it with the Rams. Use your running game

314
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: to slow their rush down. That's on both sides. That's

315
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: on both side, mean both defensive ends. Slow their defense down.

316
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: Don't turn this into a game where you're having the throw.

317
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: If that turns into that, then you're in trouble. Yeah,

318
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: we all know the rushing yards were huge for the

319
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: Rams past week, But what were the rushing yards when

320
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: the Jags the same thing they had. Jaguars rushed as

321
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: a team for one hundred and fifty six right four

322
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: NET had one oh one and touchdowns. So basically they've

323
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: given up four hundred yards in the last two games

324
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: rushing two hundred and fifty three two girly and four

325
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: NET and four rushing touchdowns. Wow, I got a stat

326
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: for you from the Seattle is News tribute. Is it

327
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll's one hundred yard rushers? Yeah, okay, they haven't

328
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: allowed one hundred yard rusher in three straight games since

329
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: two thousand and six. Yeah, that's pre Carroll, right, that's

330
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: pretty Carol, right, I mean, that's that's right, that's right.

331
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: So that's what they're facing right now. And Pete Carroll

332
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: spoke to it in the conference call upstairs with the

333
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: media yesterday. This has been like a playoff type run.

334
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: They faced some really good running games, some really good offenses,

335
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: and they've just tried to, you know, withstand it, and

336
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: they know exactly what they're up against this week, and

337
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: it's it's Zeke. Oh hey, this is a this is

338
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: for sure a playoff elimination game for both teams this week.

339
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: And if you have to give up Christmas Eve, at

340
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: least you're at home and at least you got a

341
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: game to watch and you have Ezekiel Elliott back. Yep. Yeah,

342
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: but they're having they're having some injury problems themselves. They are, right,

343
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: j right, Yes, they're a banked us now. Supposedly he's fine,

344
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner's trying to play through a hamstring, right, and

345
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: it's almost like Sean Lee being out right. I read

346
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: something like when they've allowed sixty seven points since he

347
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: hurt in the last five quarters, since he hurt his hamstring.

348
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: Now he tried to play through it last week, I

349
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: got questioned by his own game, questioned by Harold Thomas. Right,

350
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 1: we could have done that Eddy yourself. Man, we got

351
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: Hawkeye coming up in the second segment. Well, I'm just

352
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: I'll preview what Hawkeye needs to be talking about. Then

353
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: you tell us, tell us, I thought you wanted to

354
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: talk about Richard Ash next. No, yeah, yeah, lots to

355
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: talk about. But when they start snipping at each other

356
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: in the in the media, you got problems. Oh well,

357
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: we got it all laid out for you. So get

358
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: into Richard Ash. What was your question on that? Oh,

359
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: I want to know how he's played. I think Richard

360
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: Ash has been okay. I don't think there's anything really

361
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: spectacular about Richard Ashe. I worried about Richard Ashe when

362
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: he got the role of being not very active, just

363
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: being very sluggy, very just hanging there and this kind

364
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: of get blocked. He's not David Irving. He's not David

365
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: kind of player. No, he's a totally different player. But

366
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: but what you what you get with Richard Ash is

367
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 1: he's given you a little bit of mobility. That's the thing.

368
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: I love the fact when when Malie Collins can play

369
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: the one and David Irvin can play the three. I

370
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: like it. But I liked it even better when Terrell

371
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: McClain played the three and Collins played the one. But

372
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: you know, with with Ash, I just worried about him

373
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: being a guy that was constantly getting blocked. Yeah, and

374
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: it hasn't always been the case. Is he is he

375
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 1: Is he the most athlet No he's not. But does

376
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: he give you something the inside though, where he gives

377
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: you the ten fifteen plays where you can give somebody

378
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of rest and he's not killing you. Now,

379
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: Mickey will tell you this, and he's right about this.

380
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: When they put those guys in at the ten yard

381
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: line coming out and all of a sudden the ball

382
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: gets driven, well, you know it's not all Richard Ash

383
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 1: but he's on the field for some of that. But

384
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, though he hasn't been as just like

385
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: a just a fence post out there. Yeah, you know

386
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: he's he's shown a little mobility, he's shown a little

387
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: bit of awareness, and that's really, I think what you

388
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: have to hope for before we go to break. Mickey

389
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: Richard ash is absent from Cowboys practice today. What happened

390
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: Iron Smith, Richard ash and David Irvine where the Cowboys

391
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: only absentees at practice on Thursday? Lyle Collins to Marcus

392
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: Lawrence in Orlando, Skendrick All on hand and working through

393
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: warm ups. Now they were they were using him at

394
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: the one at the one at the one of Collins over. Yeah,

395
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 1: he practiced. Yes, there might be a sickness here, you know,

396
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: it might be yes, but yeah, it might be a

397
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: little bit of a bug. But he I know, he

398
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: practiced full yesterday. So and I ask you real quick

399
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 1: how Dayton Jones has done. See that's a little bit different.

400
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: You know, he had the penalty what coach was talking

401
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: about and this is absolutely right. He's always been kind

402
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: of a three four player and so your mentality is

403
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: really a two as a two gap player, and so

404
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: they've had to kind of coach him on what to

405
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: be how to play a four three scheme where you

406
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: attack gaps or you're moving, we are moving, and so yeah,

407
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: and I think they're I like what I've seen from

408
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: him as far as the mobility part of it. And

409
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, he's strong. If you remember the

410
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: Giants game at him getting the tackle for loss and

411
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: taking the guard directly back into the into the backfield. There,

412
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: that's what you get. I didn't think he was that strong,

413
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: but he is. I mean, he is a strong guy,

414
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: and that's why they're able. People thought, well, maybe he's

415
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: a defensive end. No, he's really He's done a nice

416
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: job playing as a rotational three and an occasional one

417
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: for you there, So you got almost thirty snaps last week,

418
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: so he's gonna get thirty more. Get ready. Yeah, And

419
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: then they didn't move, and then they started moving Crawford

420
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: inside right and brought Lawrence over to the right defensive

421
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 1: end spot. So Taco, yeah, is getting a lot of snaps.

422
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: That's good. Left defensive ends, that's good. And keep an

423
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: eye on this Seattle guard situation. Postic the rookie from

424
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: LSU is not a strong player. And then they've had

425
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: and then Luke Joko has had problems as well. Hey,

426
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: great to segue, Brian, because when we come back, makee

427

472
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,479
Speaker 1: previewed it Hawkeye, and unfortunately, Mickey no, I couldn't get

473
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: the Zoo to donate any any Hawks for this segment.

474
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: But what we're gonna do is we're going to run

475
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: through the Seahawks. As far as what you need to know,

476
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: we've already kind of given you a little bit of

477
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: heads up. Got to keep your eye on the guards

478
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: that Mickey first in this segment, give us the practice

479
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: report update from the Seattle Seahawks. Well, since you asked

480
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: of note Bobby Wagner and now they only did a

481
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: walk through yesterday, So these are estimations of what would

482
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: have happened. Right they do a walkthrough. Oh maybe he

483
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: wanted to give him some pretty banged up, pretty banged

484
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: up team. They're tired where they they were at home,

485
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: yet they got they know they were in Jacksonville for

486
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: the Yeah, they got drilled. Yeah, Bobby Wagner hamstring would

487
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: not have practiced. He's been trying to play through a

488
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: hamstring that he uh re injured against Jacksonville. Michael Bennett

489
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: did not practice with a knee, so they've got some problems.

490
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: They're tight end. Nick Vanette Older would have been limited.

491
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: The good news for him is kJ Wright looks like

492
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: he's cleared the concussion protocol, so that'll help out their line.

493
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: It's amazing you lose your linebackers and all of a

494
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: sudden your defense becomes porous. Imagine that happening as we've

495
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: seen it here. So yes, as we've we've talked about guys.

496
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: They have won four of their last five on the road,

497
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: but last three straight at home have been all l's

498
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: for them. And Mickey, you brought up Bobby Wagner and

499
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: that's where we have to get into next. The drama

500
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 1: that is stirring up for the Seahawks. You see this

501
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: sometimes when things aren't going right for everyone in their season.

502
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: Of course, Earl Thomas pretty much the quarterback of that defense,

503
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: and Bobby Wagner took to Twitter kind of called him out.

504
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: Quickly deleted a tweet about like, hey watch it yeats jealous,

505
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: I'm getting keep my name out of your mouth. Yeah,

506
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: type of thing. And you know, all this bickering though

507
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: the unit is only seventeenth in the NFL and stopping

508
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: the run allowing one hundred and twelve point nine arts

509
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: per game. Yeah, well, IRV Thomas came out after the

510
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: game and said we probably could have played with a

511
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: backup as well as he played. Yeah, and Wagner shot

512
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: back at him, and then I guess yesterday they tried

513
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: to make nice in the locker room. Yeah, play with

514
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: a backup? Yeah, what do you mean? He meant that

515
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: he didn't didn't play where he was he was too hurt.

516
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 1: He shouldn't have been out there, like you said, the

517
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: guy tried to play through the injury. Andrew's kind of

518
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: my point. He's not ready to go. Don't throw him

519
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: out there. Sure, but okay, yeah, you know what, that

520
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 1: is interesting that they're doing that in public, but you know,

521
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: kind of getting after each other. But that's kind of

522
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: what they do. Like they've they've sure. Yeah, Sherman. That

523
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 1: ESPN piece came out in the offseason about Sherman Russell Wilson.

524
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: That team kind of feeds off that. You know, they're

525
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: they're a feisty bunch. Might have been at all those guys. Yeah,

526
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 1: that's the thing to worry about, is like, Okay, if

527
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner feels like he has something to prove this week,

528
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: is he gonna do it against the Cowboys? Try to

529
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: do it as I don't know that he has anything

530
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: to prove, He's just trying to play through. Yeah, Well,

531
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: just a little friendly competition with Earl Thomas here. Got Yeah,

532
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: are you guys nervous about this game? Yes? Because Seattle

533
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: you set it too well, prideful team. Let me get

534
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: into it. Are you nervous about them more offensively or defensively?

535
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people would say these answer.

536
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: There's offensively with all these injuries on defense. But they're

537
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,959
Speaker 1: only averaging twenty two point nine points right now. And

538
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: this is a team that was heavy hitters. Usually you'd

539
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: expect thirty plus in most games. They're also undisciplined, having

540
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: already given away a thousand and one hundred yards in

541
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 1: penalty it tops the NFL. Yeah, the Cowboys have only

542
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: given up eight hundred yards and offensive penalties eighteenth. See

543
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: this is there's I think there's a couple of different

544
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: fronts that you need to worry about the Seahawks. I

545
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: think you need to worry about a group that has

546
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,239
Speaker 1: been bickering, because usually those boys are as tight as

547
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 1: thieves exactly. You know, usually they have each other's backs.

548
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: Like it's the sense like, hey, I can call you

549
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: a dummy, but if anyone else calls you a dummy, right,

550
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: you're not. Yeah, it's yeah, don't don't go after one

551
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: of my teammates on Twitter. I'll block you in a heartbeat.

552
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of where their attitude. I know

553
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: it's that's pretty general way of saying things, but I

554
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: think these guys are very very close. I do worry

555
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: about the fact that their their backs are against the wall.

556
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: I do. That's a talented group of players. They've struggled

557
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. Jacksonville was bad. They lost their

558
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: composure in that game. They were embarrassed in the Rams game.

559
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,959
Speaker 1: I don't think, you know, someone asked me today if

560
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: if the Seahawks had quit. I don't think there's any

561
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: quit right now in the Seahawks. I really really don't,

562
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: especially you know, the Rams are likely going to win

563
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: that division, but they need to figure out that. You know,

564
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: they can come here and spoil Dallas's season. They very

565
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: easily can do that. I do worry about Russell Wilson

566
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: running around. I do worry about him throwing the football.

567
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: I do worry about the Cowboys not covering anybody very well.

568
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: You know. I mean, we've seen pass rush from the Cowboys,

569
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: but Jason Garrett even said it today, didn't do a

570
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: very good job at getting on the ground last week.

571
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: You can't afford not to get Russell Wilson on the ground.

572
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: That that would be a problem. And I do worry,

573
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: and you say twenty two points a game, but I

574
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: just worry about the big play. Well, the Cowboys continually,

575
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: well the Cowboys when they were losing those games, especially

576
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: against the Chargers, what was it the big play that was?

577
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of guys running free in the secondary,

578
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: a lot of open guys. They can't afford that in

579
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: this game, you know, because Seattle will embarrass you that way,

580
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: with Doug ball winnin that group Richardson, they will embarrass

581
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: you if you don't cover them. And Russell Wilson running

582
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: around throwing the football he will embarrass you. So yeah,

583
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: I think you should be very, very nervous on both

584
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: fronts in this football game. I'm with Brian. This is

585
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: a team. They're the core of those guys have played

586
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: in some big games, ship moments. They've been through this

587
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: type of situation before. I would not write them off.

588
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: But they offensively, they've got to get off to a

589
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: better start. They've had two straight games with no points

590
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: in the first half, sporeless. So yeah, playing offensive line,

591
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: he has been a big problem. Road They've got it.

592
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: You know, they can't get behind early against Dallas. Can't

593
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: do it. I'm gonna say four names, and we're gonna

594
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: do our own little Twitter poll quickly here on the show.

595
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: Say four names, and I want you guys to tell

596
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: me who you think could be the biggest game changer

597
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. Doug Baldwin, who is on pace for

598
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: over a thousand yards in twenty seventeen. He has eight

599
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty six currently sixty seven receptions. Next run

600
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: is a guy we've already kind of previewed Earl Thomas

601
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: two interceptions, but you know, don't buy that. He's still

602
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: beast ball Hawk Hawk Michael Bennett, Frank Clark kind of

603
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: a combined guys because together they have fifteen point five

604
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: combined sacks on the season. Of course, Russell Wilson, who

605
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: accounts for thirty three of Seattle's thirty four offensive touchdowns.

606
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: So you want to start first run, Yeah, I'll go

607
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: with the two guys up front for them. Clark, Yeah,

608
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: because with the injuries that Seattle has a linebacker and

609
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: especially in the secondary, they're the ones they're gonna have

610
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: to set the tone and win their matchups up And

611
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: it's kind of Brian spoke to it yesterday. Oakland was

612
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: kind of in that position. You know, they got some

613
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: issues at other parts of their defense, but the strength

614
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: is the ability to get up the field and get

615
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: to the quarterback. So that's how they're going to affect

616
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: things defensively. I think those guys got to get past

617
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: Byron Bell, maybe tyrn Lyle Collins as well. Who you got,

618
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: Brian Russell Wilson, Yeah, I think you know, Russell Wilson

619
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: is what the Seattle Seahawks are. You know, their defense

620
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: obviously has been compromised, especially the last couple of weeks,

621
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: but he's the reason why they hang in games. He's

622
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: the reason, his ability, his toughness. Their offensive line has

623
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: been a big problem for them. John Snyder knows he

624
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: has to fix that. He just can't do it right now.

625
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: They've tried to add some guys, some pieces. It's just

626
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: not good enough. But Russell Wilson has the ability to

627
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: win a football game, especially if it becomes close, especially

628
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: if it's tight. You know, like Rob said, he's been

629
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: in big games. He's done well in big games. This

630
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: is a big game for both teams. And he knows

631
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: if he has to put it on his back, he'll

632
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: put it on his back. He's not afraid of the spotlight.

633
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: I do worry about his ability to run the football.

634
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: It's to scramble to make those loose plays, to do

635
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: things when you when you have him in third down

636
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: situations and they and you can't get him off the field.

637
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: That could be a problem in this football game. So

638
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: I do worry about Russell Wilson quite a bit. I

639
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,719
Speaker 1: feel better though that it looks like Hitchens is going

640
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: to be able to play in this game. That's key

641
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: to have him and Sean Lee, if they're both on

642
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: the field at the same time. That that stabilizes things

643
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: in the middle. Yeah, okay, out of those four names,

644
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: who you got Russell Wilson. Yeah. Not only is he

645
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: their leading passer, he's their leading rusher, right, so whatever

646
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: they're going to do offensively, And that's amazing because without

647
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: his five hundred and twenty one yards rushing, they've gotten

648
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: less than a thousand yards rushing in fourteen games. With

649
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: everybody else, It's funny how their offense is completely done

650
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: A one eighties since beast Mode. I mean, it's well,

651
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: they thought it's Russ's offense. They thought they were gonna

652
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: get beast mode two when they when they got Lacey,

653
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: and he's been a bust. You can't even get on

654
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: the field. I was reading stuff where he may not

655
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: even be active. Yeah, and he's listed as their third

656
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: string running back, and you know they spent three and

657
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: a half million dollars on him. McKissick is the kid

658
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: that they used quite a bit. I wrote about him

659
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,479
Speaker 1: in the Under the Radar Guy on Dallas Cowboys dot Com.

660
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: Check him out. He's kind of their third down guy there,

661
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: jack of all trades player. If I could say one

662
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: more thing, Tay, I think the names she gave you know,

663
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: this is going to be a little bit about Earl

664
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: Thomas two two in this game, because if if the

665
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: Seahawks are going to be able to affect the way

666
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: to play the run, they've got to get the extra

667
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: guy down, and that's Earl Thomas. They don't have Cam

668
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: Chancellor anymore to be that guy. So if the Cowboys

669
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: do have success running the football, there's gonna be a

670
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: lot of collisions between number twenty one and number twenty

671
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: nine in this football game. It's just the way that's

672
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: gonna play out. You know, we thought maybe two with

673
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, when the you go back to the Giants,

674
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: when Ezekiel played against the Giants, we always talked about

675
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: Landing Collins, Landing Collins being that guy coming down, coming down,

676
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: coming down. You can't always account for those guys. And

677
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: if the way that Thomas plays, the craftiness, the physicality

678
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 1: which he plays. Now he's missed some tackles though too,

679
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: so I mean it might be an all day affair

680
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: between him and Ezekiel Elliott. If the Cowboys get that,

681
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: they get the running game going, that can be terrifying. Yeah,

682
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: who you got? Oh? I have to go with Russell

683
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: Wilson I think that he's going to be like, look,

684
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 1: I got defensive guys fighting. I'm pretty much doing everything here,

685
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: and I'm going to continue doing everything so that I

686
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: can hoist up that MVP trophy at the end of

687
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: the year, earned himself a Pro Bowl spot. Right, Oh,

688
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: he did. You're right, you're right. Well, before we get

689
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: to what's going on in the locker room here at

690
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: the Star, we're gonna get to the phone lines. We

691
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: have Josh from McKinney on the line. Josh, what's your question? Hey,

692
00:34:55,640 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: good morning, good morning. Well, this is more of an

693
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: observation of the whole season. On the offense, we don't

694
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: do well on third and long, particularly like third and

695
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: seven and longer. And I noticed a lot of the

696
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: times the receivers are not running rocks that's past the

697
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: first down marker. And I wanted to know is that

698
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: attested to the play design or is that more of

699
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: an instincts thing, Because when I played peewee football, coach

700
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: I always said, if it's third, third down, if you're

701
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: running a route, go past the first down marker. And

702
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 1: I see that a lot of the times with whether

703
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,919
Speaker 1: it's Cole Beasley, Jason Witten, chance, Charrence Williams a dead

704
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: um Dakul just check it down and it's he'll get

705
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: three yards. And then I'm like, nobody ran rocks past

706
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: the marker. So is that player instincts or is that

707
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: just how to play calls is designed? Okay, great question,

708
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: fair points, routes go past markers and have to come

709
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: back for ball. You know, I think what happens is

710
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: the perception is that that's what happens. Yeah, But a

711
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: lot of times when the guys that are past the

712
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: marker and not open then check down underneath and you're

713
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: hoping the guy's going to run for the first down.

714
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: I do think. I don't think you designed plays for

715
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: him to go short of the marker. You're just leaving

716
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: somebody else. I think. I think what happens, Yeah, I

717
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: think what happens a lot of the time. You know.

718
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: I think Jason Witton the other day, I think they

719
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: had a he had a play the other day that

720
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 1: was it was a third and eleven. He got twelve

721
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: on the play Paul was thrown to him in the

722
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: middle of field. I think guys go past the markers.

723
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: I think sometimes what happens to you is Prescott might

724
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: be under a little bit of pressure. Guys have to

725
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: come back to the football ball. It's not accurate. All

726
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Cole Beasley has run a route that

727
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: on third and sixteen, he's eighteen yards deep and all

728
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden he has to make like a soccer

729
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: goalie catch to his right and it's now fourth and one.

730
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: And I think the other the other thing you have

731
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,479
Speaker 1: to consider is when you're getting in third and long,

732
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: you know, like turn seven and more. Yeah, turned six right.

733
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: Teams have been blitzing. Yeah, and when the wide receiver

734
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: sees a blitz, they got to cut the route off.

735
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: Can't keep Yeah, you can't keep running, so absolutely right.

736
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: So you know, I think with Zeke back on the field,

737
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: it'll it'll halt a little bit of that blitzing that's

738
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: been going on, or you'll make them pay a lot

739
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: more than teams have been paying recently. Yeah. Well, let's

740
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: go to some of the things that are said in

741
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: the locker room. And I thought Dak said a great

742
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: quote yesterday and I really thought kind of it says

743
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: exactly what we've been saying, but kind of emphasizes the

744
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: energy that Zeke brings here. You know, he said, it's

745
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: something that we feed off of. It's something the crowd

746
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: feeds off of, and I think the team feeds off

747
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: the crowd getting excited over a Zeke eight yard run

748
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: because it's just so physical. It's simply a tempo setter

749
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: gave me a great answer. Yeah. I love that answer,

750
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 1: Like that's it's must have asked a good question question. Yeah.

751
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: I just think that's so great because it's true. It's like,

752
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, not only is it good for the team,

753
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: it's good for the fans. Well. When the fans are excited,

754
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 1: that's even better for the team. It's like a cycle,

755
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 1: you know, and just saying hey, an eight yard run

756
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: gets people going because you know, he's a threat on

757
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: the field. He's always physical, he's always going to give

758
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: you everything you got. And I thought that was awesome.

759
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 1: So you asked that question, Roight. Yeah. And the other

760
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: thing he said was it's it's an eight yard run

761
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: and you think he's gonna get three and he winds up.

762
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: He said, it's like he bullies his way to five

763
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: more yards. Right, that's a mentality that kind of permeates

764
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: the offense. He gets the defense fired up. I mean

765
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: it's just he just has that effect on the rest

766
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: of the team. Yeah, it's it's a mentality, you know.

767
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: And not that the other backs haven't played well or

768
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: run hard, but Zeke just brings something different that a

769
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: few backs in the league do with that type of approach.

770
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 1: I think it's a trust too. So he makes a difference,

771
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: is what you're saying. Yeah, I think he makes the

772
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator better play caller myself. Yeah, I mean, you know,

773
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: it's and you know, Rod Marinelli could stand over there

774
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: on the sidelines and every time it's third and short

775
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: and they'll just keep banging first downs out of the

776
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: way and they keep going down the field. This it's

777
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: very rare the football team can run the football as

778
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: well as Dallas does and score points. And when he was,

779
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 1: when they were in that five and three mode, they

780
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: were scoring a lot of points. And then he went away,

781
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: and then what happened? They weren't scoring points. But like

782
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 1: I say, it's very very rare that you can just

783
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: because usually ball control running the football, it takes so

784
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: much time off the clock that you don't score. You

785
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: don't score that way. Well, the Cowboys do score, and

786
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 1: that's and that that makes Rod Marinelli's job so much easier.

787
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: Look what happened in the Kansas City game when they

788
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: got the lead and they had the eleven point lead

789
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: able to play. You know, defense doesn't have to You

790
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: can ratchet your defense down, you can hold you know,

791
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: but if something happens at least hey, we get the

792
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: ball back, well, you know we'll be okay. You know that.

793
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: That's kind of the mentality that they love hearing that.

794
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just so excited to see what's gonna happen.

795
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: But we're gonna get more to that more order. What

855
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: writing it down. You guys are all listening. These guys

856
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: are going to predict what Zeke could do on Sunday night,

857
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: and whoever wins or is even I'll even say close

858
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: enough too, and like like ten yards or one touchdown,

859
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: one of those kind of things. Yeah, I mean, you know,

860
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,959
Speaker 1: you have to be a little bit bold, bold because Mickey,

861
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: aren't they ingredients in Papa John's pizza so bold? That's

862
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: some bold. Pepperoni outside old Pepperoni sausages really good too, though.

863
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: I'll go first, okay, Rob, I think they're gonna go

864
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: three for three in the red zone, three for three

865
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,760
Speaker 1: in the red zone, all Zeke touchdown runs, all Zeke

866
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 1: touchdowns runs. That's great. You're saying Zeke gets twenty one

867
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: points on the day or twenty one. I love it.

868
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 1: Have you been listening to me like when I watched

869
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,439
Speaker 1: the tape, No, I yell at Helm and every time

870
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: that's Seattle when it gets to the one. Seattle loves

871
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: to give up touchdowns on the one. They really do.

872
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 1: They just whoever they hand it to just goes right

873
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: in the right there. Yeah, And I was yelling at

874
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: hell mom, there we go another another another touchdown off

875
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,720
Speaker 1: the one. Punch it in, just punch it right in. Okay,

876
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: so your first for Zeke, miss rob who's the next?

877
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: Got it? Mickey? Yes? Okay? You will have the longest

878
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: touchdown run since the suspension began for the Dallas Cowboys,

879
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 1: and the longest one to date is fifteen yards in

880
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 1: mop up time. Was it against the Giants? No? Um,

881
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: It was a toss sweep that went to rod Smith.

882
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: Rod Smith yea at the end of the game. Was

883
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: the Giants Giants? Right? Yeah, that was fifteen yards the

884
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: longest one they've had, this sixth longest one in the

885
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: six game suspension. Yeah. The next longest one was dak

886
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: eleven on the read option. Yeah. After that, it's five two, one,

887
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: one and one. Wow, And do not tell me Zeke

888
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: doesn't make a difference always, so he just has to.

889
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: I like it because okay, yes, and you're not allowed

890
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: to steal my stats either for anything you write this week.

891
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: Not me steal my stuff all the time. I like

892
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,479
Speaker 1: that one because that kind of goes against yours, Rob,

893
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 1: because it says if yours are all in the red zone,

894
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: Mickey saying no, he gets one outside the red zone

895
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: goes long. He has to go over fifteen yards for

896
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: Mickey to win, or maybe he'll stop at the one

897
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: just for Rob. There we go there, but you said

898
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: you did clarify, I'm writing the sound you said longest

899
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: T D run T D run. Okay, I'm ready, so

900
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 1: it's more fifteen yards. I like. I like this competition.

901
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: I love it. Okay, Brian, the Cowboys will be one

902
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: hundred percent. I'm stealing a little bit of Rob's thunder here,

903
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: but the Cowboys will be one when they hand the

904
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: football to Ezeki La on third and two or less.

905
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 1: I like that when they hand the football to Zeke, Yeah,

906
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:00,040
Speaker 1: on third and two and less. And I'll even go

907
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: win fourth down on that there will be one hund

908
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 1: If they have to go for it on fourth down

909
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 1: and hand the ball every time, they're going to get

910
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 1: it every single time. I think he's he's six for

911
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: seven in eight games on third and one. I mean,

912
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: he's he's money. So that's a good one. Okay. I

913
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: know that, you know things are starting to blur together.

914
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 1: But last week when we saw the Raiders game, was

915
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 1: that the first time we've seen the Cowboys go for

916
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,399
Speaker 1: it on fourth and one during the suspension? Obviously we

917
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: saw it before when Zeke was still back in the game.

918
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,399
Speaker 1: What are the game did Garrett? Did Garrett go forward

919
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: against the Giants? When was that? Was that? A I

920
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: know he didn't go against it. I want to say

921
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 1: in the why am I? Why am I? Why am

922
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: I just blurring on? Because you're here week sixteen and

923
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: barely able to think right now? So was there? But

924
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 1: was there a game that they mickey? And I mean,

925
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: I'm blanking on. I don't think they'd done that, And

926
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: that's why I was there Garren Zeke's Washington those games

927
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: that they were winning, didn't Garrett? Why am I? No?

928
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: I mean, here there's a game I just asked, Yeah,

929
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: there's a game. I'm sure there was the thing on

930
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:01,919
Speaker 1: fourth down or where Garrett went against Washington or went

931
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 1: forward against like maybe they had to like yeah, like

932
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:09,240
Speaker 1: they had to where the Okay, here's fourth down efficiency

Speaker 1: fourth second time, fourth and two and they didn't make it.

942
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember the play I blanket on that too,

943
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 1: fourth and three they tried. Oh that was they went

944
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: forth on fourth down with a fake punt. That was Denver. Yeah,

945
00:47:55,280 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 1: that's right. Wow, So it's been Washington since the since

946
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 1: the suspension. Right, I went for it on fourth and

947
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: six against Atlanta. Yeah, fourth and six against Philadel Well

948
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 1: that was because they were so far behind, you were

949
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 1: just trying to match up. Yeah, so they're they're fourth

950
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 1: down totals going for it this year nine for seventeen.

960
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,839
Speaker 1: far away from that. Yeah, all right, Mickey, I'm glad

961
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 1: you said that, Okay, man, because you guys counted a

962
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: lot for it. Okay, I'm gonna say Zeke doesn't have

963
00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: any touchdowns. What he gets them to the red zone

964
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: every every series. You know, what I'm saying is that,

965
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,240
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's a red zone pass to Dez

966
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: or you know at the one moment they get to

967
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: Cole because Zeke's But where I'm going to say is

968
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: that Zeke has no touchdown, no red zone. So you're

969
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: going opposite of what Yes, he's gonna get him there,

970
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: but somebody else is going to punch it in. He's

971
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: going to get them there, all right, But I like

972
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:30,919
Speaker 1: it like you're buying pizza. Who punching it? I'm good

973
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: with that. That's why I'm going, Yeah, who is pushing

974
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: it in? If? I mean you're talking passes count right? Yeah?

975
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: Just a touchdown? Maybe it's maybe it's Beasley in the

976
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: back of the end zone. Yeah, it doesn't have to

977
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: be rushing. Oh, no, screen. I think he's gonna make

978
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley look like a beast in this game. There

979
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: you go, I get him going. He gets to the

980
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 1: red zone, he's getting to the end zone. I know that.

981
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: But you know what that was me and kind of

982
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: saying like it's the holiday spirit. You're all right? So

983
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: what do you think? How much do they use him? Oh?

984
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: I think he's twenty five plus. I think he could

985
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 1: easily go over one hundred and fifty in this game. Yeah,

986
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: how about this one? Get how about dak with the

987
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: eighteen for twenty four for two hundred and forty one yards,

988
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. How about Zeke twenty four carries one hundred

989
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: and twenty eight yards one touchdown. I bet he gets

990
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: twenty carries. Yeah, I'm going over. I say, let me

991
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: say eighteen, let me say I said more than that,

992
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: right two? Yeah, it's twenty four. Yeah, I'm gonna go.

993
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:36,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. There be there carries. Okay, how about

994
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: this carries more than over than completions. More carries are

995
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: more completions. Which one you're going with for Zeke carries

996
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: Dak's completion? Yeah, which one is going to be more

997
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:52,839
Speaker 1: Dak completions? I'll say Zeke carries because I'm banking on

998
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,319
Speaker 1: a close game or if the Cowboys are protecting a

999
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 1: lead in the second half, then you start riding Zeke

1000
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: and h starry. I mean he starts, He's Jackson Bill

1001
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 1: did trying to wear him down that game with Fournette.

1002
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: They just started handing him the ball even on third

1003
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: that tape. Yeah, but I'm always, I'm always I'm one

1004
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: of those guys that believes more Zeke carries than that

1005
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 1: completions is always a great combination for this football team.

1006
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 1: So then I bet you voted a certain answer for

1007
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: Rob's pool then, And how did he look to you

1008
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:26,240
Speaker 1: guys as far as like health wise body wise? Yeah,

1009
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: I kind of think he looks the same. To be

1010
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,360
Speaker 1: honest with you, Mick, he just didn't have a beard anymore.

1011
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:35,720
Speaker 1: Um with you on that all this ridiculous stuff about

1012
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: looking like a Donnis. Yeah, he looks like Zeke Elliott. Yeah,

1013
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: he's always been a kind of a thick guy. Yeah

1014
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 1: with the Hey, he wouldn't wear a crop top if

1015
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 1: he didn't have a good looking like Zeke's not a

1016
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: bad thing what I'm saying. I'm saying he's not. You know,

1017
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 1: everybody was worried he was going to be number one

1018
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 1: out of ship, right they Oh, he doesn't look like

1019
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 1: he just looks like Joe Looney, you know, with Joe

1020
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 1: Looney wearing the number twenty. He doesn't look like Adonnas. Yeah, no,

1021
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: he looks the same. Yeah, I think so. I think he.

1022
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: I will say this though, the fact that he hasn't

1023
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:08,919
Speaker 1: been hit for six weeks I think is a good thing.

1024
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 1: Let's see you just yea, he kind of healed up

1025

Speaker 1: guy kind of carrying the mail for you. Then that

1027
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:17,799

1028
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 1: court appearances he had after a thirty carry game helped

1029
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,240
Speaker 1: him a little bit that he you know, physical standpoint,

1030
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: that he wasn't practicing that. Yeah, gave him a little

1031

1057
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: if it turns into if it turns into the Dallas

1058
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 1: having success running the football, I think it helps him

1059
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 1: in other avenues. I think all of a sudden, Seattle

1060
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 1: is so worried about that. And there was a time

1061
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 1: where Seattle could cover and not worry about this. I

1062
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: think they have to worry about it now. So I'm

1063
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: gonna go. I'm gonna go Pro Bowl form. Yeah, that's

1064
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: why I said. I thought the numbers, you know, for

1065
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 1: for Dak would improve. Does that mean he has like

1066
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:15,280
Speaker 1: a hundred quarterback rating. I'm gonna go in the ninety

1067
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:19,319
Speaker 1: one range, ninety two range on that quarterback rating. But yeah,

1068
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 1: I think that I think that it helps. I do

1069
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: think it really does if they get if they can

1070
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: make Seattle totally commit to having to stop the run

1071
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: and can keep this rush. Now, if it flips the

1072
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: other way, get ready for sixty nine rating or something

1073
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 1: like that, because then it becomes then it becomes Mickey's

1074
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 1: worrisome part of can Byron Bell hold up? So yes

1075
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: or no? I said yes, yes all day. I said

1076
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,359
Speaker 1: yes to start the game. Hey, I like it. Yes,

1077
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense can contain Russell Wilson. I think that goes

1078
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 1: into what you do. What is contained defined, contain contain

1079
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: means that that's not that's not your huge concern of

1080
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 1: the whole game. And he doesn't throw for three touchdowns

1081
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 1: and rushes for ano the eighty five yards. He's not

1082
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: having a Philip Rivers day on this defense. Well, you

1083
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,879
Speaker 1: won't have a Philip Rivers day to way Philip Rivers had,

1084
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 1: which probably may be the guy that runs all over

1085
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:14,879
Speaker 1: the place and creates problems for you. I'm gonna say,

1086
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm giving you that gift back. Oh yeah, I'm the

1087
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 1: same way. I mean, I think Dallas gonna win this game,

1088
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 1: but I think he's gonna make his share of plays

1089
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: because he's really he's not all they've got, but he's

1090
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,800
Speaker 1: their focal point. So they sacked him seven times last week.

1091
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 1: You can only hope, you can only hope you get

1092
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: that much pressure. Oh yeah, I'm worried about that. Yeah,

1093
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: you're giving that one back. Yeah, you're asking for the

1094
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 1: gift for seat on that one. Yes, Yeah, making sure okay,

1095
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 1: last one guys, Seahawks too banged up to even have

1096
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: a playoff push. That's reasonable for them. I am giving

1097
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 1: that gift back. I think they've got a lot to

1098
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: play for. And Rob said it, they played a lot

1099
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,319
Speaker 1: of big games. Pete Carroll is not going to let

1100
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 1: them come halfway across the country and lay down they

1101
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: They were bad in that game against the Rams the

1102
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: other day at home, and that has to be in

1103
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: the back of their mind. But I there's too many

1104
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 1: good players on this team, especially at the quarterback. We've

1105
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 1: talked about him, the safety, the defensive line. There's just

1106
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:15,879
Speaker 1: too many players. Agreed, I'm getting back, Yep, get that back. Yeah,

1107
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 1: well so I got one for you. Yeah. Zeke talks

1108
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 1: after the game. Zeke talks after the game. Does he

1109
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:26,959
Speaker 1: traditionally talk after the game. Yeah, He's usually the first

1110
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 1: one at his locker. Yea, yeah, because I don't go

1111
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:32,880
Speaker 1: to the game, So yeah, I'm gonna say yes. But

1112
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:34,919
Speaker 1: I don't think he's ever not talked after a game,

1113
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I'll take it. You ask the follow

1114
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: up question, how does it go? How does it go?

1115
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 1: I think you will go. Well, I'm gonna ask you

1116
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 1: something today. Do you think Zeke talks today? No? No,

1117
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:48,959
Speaker 1: do you think do you think Zeke has a little

1118
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 1: bit of remorse to what happened yesterday with that whole thing? No? No,

1119
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:54,879
Speaker 1: I don't think in a mean way, like, man, I'm

1120
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 1: so glad I did what. I think he honestly is

1121
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: focused on this week so much on Sure. No, he

1122
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 1: was told not to talk, right, Yeah, I mean but

1123
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 1: why is that not obvious to everybody? Because it is

1124
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 1: to me? Am I stupid. They're trying to make money

1125
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 1: off a documentary and they told him do not talk

1126
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: about what you did, what went on, any of it. Yeah,

1127
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: then that's a bad plan by his manager exactly. Yeah,

1128
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 1: but that's what took place. Yeah, but he I think that.

1129
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 1: I think that from our standpoint too, we don't need

1130
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 1: to be so antagonistic about it though. The approach, you

1131
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: don't have to be contentious. Yeah, and I think I

1132
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 1: think a certain I think a certain television personality in

1133
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 1: this local thing kind of gave it the why not

1134
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 1: and that don't be that guy that's shut it down

1135
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: right there. Yeah, don't be that guy. You have to

1136
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: be smarter with your interviewing skills. Sure, it's like I

1137
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 1: told the guys this morning. You know, if you're a

1138
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: like an investigator or the police department. Now you pull

1139
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 1: somebody in, the first question is did you do it? Yeah? No,

1140
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 1: you make small talk to cup of coffee. Yeah, yeah,

1141
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: but how you feeling a little nervous, you know whatever,

1142
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: just small talk before you get to the question, and

1143
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 1: then at least you would have had a story, right,

1144
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 1: you know, he would have maybe said, yeah, I'm really

1145
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:15,959
Speaker 1: glad to be here with you know, it felt good

1146
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: to practice. You know, hey, girlie ran for two whatever

1147
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 1: I told and you and what do you think you

1148
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 1: got an opportunity to run? I think that's the I

1149
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 1: think that's a perfect question. And then you get to

1150
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: the end and you go, okay, bring it up again.

1151
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: And if he says no, at least you've got something

1152
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: to give the fans. That's where that's the problem with

1153
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: journalistic stuff today that we're looking for the we're looking

1154
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: for the clip that's gonna make the highlight right, and

1155
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 1: then the story, instead of being about him, became about oh,

1156
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: the offended media. You know, we're offended and it was wrong.

1157
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just wrong. And I don't care

1158
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 1: if the media is offended. That's part of our job.

1159
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: You've been I mean, you're exactly right, Brian on the

1160
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: fact that we're now so hungry for that clickbait of like, well,

1161
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 1: Zeke told me he's so ready to just go down

1162
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 1: the throats of Seattle, and it's like, you want that,

1163
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 1: And that would have been fine if he would have

1164
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 1: said that, but don't ask him what he didn't want

1165
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 1: to talk about. Yeah, yeah, so you know, and you

1166
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 1: gets on us. You got what you deserved. That's on

1167
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 1: us we need. And I know Rob thinks you were

1168
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 1: supposed to ask it, and I agree you got to

1169
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 1: ask it, but there are ways to do it. I

1170
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:29,439
Speaker 1: didn't disagree with you there, and you know you don't

1171
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:34,479
Speaker 1: need to be contentious. Don't let your personal feelings get hurt. Sure, well, hey,

1172
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: our feelings aren't hurt. But Rob about no Twitter poll today?

1173
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 1: Can you hold it for tomorrow because I think it's

1174
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 1: a good Friday. One to perfect. Guys, get to Twitter voter.

1175
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 1: Now you said good Friday. I said it's good one

1176
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 1: for Friday. It will be a good Friday of Zeke

1177

Speaker 1: this week. Join us tomorrow then. This has been a
