No? Okay, the 10 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: meteor all your report from Mickey Spagnola to get us 11 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: started here, and we've got Rob Phillips, We've got Brian 12 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: brought us and we always love Wednesday because it is 13 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: time to get ready for this game on Sunday night, 14 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. It's installation Day and that's what 15 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: we're gonna do here on Talking Cowboys. We just heard 16 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett around the horn. Anything that it's on your 17 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: mind as you get started this morning. Mickey, you worried 18 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: about Crawford playing this week? Oh, he's not playing, Okay, 19 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: I don't think he's playing for a couple of weeks. Yeah, 20 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: that versides evidently it's and it's not the fixed hip, 21 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: it's the other hip that's been giving him some problems. 22 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's nice to see maybe limited back with 23 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: Austin being back, but they're going to have to figure 24 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: out again. I didn't mean to go to Austin, but 25 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: I'll talk about the ends. They're gonna have to figure 26 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: out again how they're gonna play that rotation. You know, 27 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: it's Quinn at least you get to feel good about 28 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: his situation. But now what's going to go behind Quinn? 29 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: You know, is it going to be Joe Jackson and 30 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: Armstronger those guys. But they've got to figure this out. 31 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: It's a big game for these defensive linemen to have 32 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: to get after Teddy Bridgewater in this game. Well, and 33 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: for your interior guys too. That's why I asked about 34 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: you know, Anton Woods and sounding like he's gonna go today. 35 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: That's why I asked about Covington and the press conference 36 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: because he was a little banged up in the game. 37 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: Sounds like he's okay, but it could be more of 38 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: Covington and Tristan Hill in this game too. Trying to 39 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: deal with what Brian said yesterday, a big, a big 40 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: powerful Saints offensive line and try to get some push 41 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: there and with Crawford. Okay, So is it one of 42 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: those things where it's like when you've got one you've 43 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,839 Speaker 1: got a bad knee, and you're favoring that one and 44 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: then your other one goes Haywire is the same way 45 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: with a hill. I think he has this condition. I 46 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: just think this is naturally, you know, something that has 47 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: developed in his life where he's had, you know, physically 48 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: is sometimes the way you're put together might be the 49 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: way that you know, that's the things you deal with 50 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: arthritic knees, elbows, shoulders, whatever you have life, you sometimes curveballs. 51 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: We are not perfectly put together. And the word tear 52 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: on him I think has been really really you know, 53 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: pronounced throughout his career. And he's fought through a lot 54 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: of things in his like bad shoulders, bad knee, bad hips. 55 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: You know, he seems to find a way to kind 56 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: of get there. But this one's clearly got him h 57 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: you know, taken taken back. That was always the injury 58 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: I was most worry about because I don't know that 59 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: it's fixable. He's in his eighth year, and yeah, you 60 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: get something, you get a condition like that, and you 61 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: can treat it, but I don't know that you can 62 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: fix it. The other injuries they have, they're kind of 63 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: fixable or you can rehab it and you know how, 64 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: you know, how do you rehab a hip? Yeah, you know, 65 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: we kind of need that sucker. We saw it. We 66 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: saw Byron Jones kind of deal with that. That did 67 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: fix whatever he had the surgery yer right, and then 68 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: you know with Crawford, so the fact that it's not 69 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: the one that he had fixed, it's the other one 70 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: that that tells me something maybe. And again I'm not 71 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: a doctor here, I'm not genetically something not balanced with 72 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: him there that he's going to have to deal with 73 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: the rest of his life. And they've been trying to 74 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: manage him since training camp. I mean, just try to 75 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: kind of move him along, rehab him, mick, and try 76 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: to get him ready to play. Obviously it was bothering 77 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: him that first week. You're right, I don't know if 78 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: there's a full timetable for him. I think Stephen Jones 79 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: said a week or two ago, you know, it could 80 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: be a little bit. So how long exactly in the meantime, they're, 81 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: like Brian mentioned, it's Dorance Armstrong. Carrie Hider's a guy 82 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: that played all over the line. Absolutely they have to Again, well, 83 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: I think you just look at it the way it 84 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: was with Crawford, I mean with Quinn missing. Yeah, you've 85 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: just traded off Quinn Crawford for Quinn and you're in 86 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: the same situation you were the first couple of games 87 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: when Quinn wasn't there, you had to rely on Armstrong, Jackson, Yeah, 88 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: you know, and those guys. So yeah, I mean, Armstrong 89 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: played a good bit in that game at right defensive end, 90 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: and maybe it comes down to you. You You get less 91 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: rest for DeMarcus Lawrence along with Quinn. Okay, I'm worried 92 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: about the nickel the nickel tackle. That's where I kind 93 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: of feel like that they can do some damage with 94 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: if Crawford was in there along with Collins, We've seen 95 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: that kind of be a really good little combination side 96 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: of two power players. All Right, I'm piecing things together. 97 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: Here is an offshoot of that. Maybe why they're doing 98 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: what they're doing with Jaylen Smith now yes, yeah, no questions. 99 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: So they're trying to attack the pocket with Jalen Smith 100 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: is what they're trying to do. But their numbers up 101 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: front and guys that can put pressure on the on 102 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: the quarterback from an end position. Jalen Smith is one 103 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: that looks like he possesses that ability. He helped on 104 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: the Colins sack they ran. They ran a twist stunt 105 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: inside and he was one of the one of the 106 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: posts and so was Lawrence both hard charge inside. It 107 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: wads everything up inside for the Dolphins and now here 108 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: comes Collins off the type you know, the tight path 109 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: and he's able to get in on the quarterback. Yeah, clearly. 110 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: So I think, you know, there's been a speculation on Twitter, 111 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: what you know, what's wrong with Jalen Smith. They look at, 112 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: you know, one or two plays, and they also look 113 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: at the snaps that Joe Thomas got and in natural 114 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: assumption is okay, what's what's going on? Why they don't 115 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: like what's they're saying. Maybe they're figuring out a different 116 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: way to use it to offset where they've got to 117 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: need up front on the defensive as well. I think 118 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: in training camp though, we saw them using the linebackers 119 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: in more pass rush rolls, blitzing Jalen Smith and blitzing him. 120 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: Even in camp when they're not tackling guys, he's coming 121 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: in pretty violent. Yeah, So I think they saw where, okay, 122 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: we can go with a three man line and stand 123 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: him up and they don't know if he's coming or going. 124 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: Might feel it's a better fit for him to be 125 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: on the field all the time, rushing the pass or 126 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: than maybe playing in some pass carebag if you're a nickel. Yeah, 127 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: that's the thing. They've brought Joe Thomas on the field 128 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: and play nineteen snap nineteen. So they had a plan 129 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: and what they wanted to do. A matter of fact, 130 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: we saw it like he was tired. No exactly. I 131 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: mean to me, if you want to, if you want to, 132 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: if you want it to meet. Just my evaluation just 133 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: watching the film, I felt like Jalen Smith had four 134 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: bad plays. That was it, and you know everybody's only 135 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: he doesn't look this, he doesn't you know. And then 136 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: again the play that he looked the absolute worst on 137 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: was the handback where it was the trick play where 138 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: all of a sudden he took an aggressive approach up 139 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: and then he had to spin in return and that 140 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: where you know, everybody goes, oh my God, he's back 141 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: to having dropped foot, you know, right, I mean, and 142 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: that was Seriously, that's that's where it's become. So four 143 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: bad plays out of like forty something snaps, A lot 144 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: of guys have dropped foot when they have that pitch back. 145 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: Oh no, that that's what I'm saying. He was aggressively 146 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: trying to attack down. Healed him, and then he and 147 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: then he had to spend to go back. And by 148 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: that time, though, you know, Williams, the receiver had run 149 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: all the way across the field and they dumped the 150 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: ball behind him, and so yeah, it looks bad. You know, 151 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: there's a couple of plays too where I felt like 152 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: he didn't really get in position. He overran a play, 153 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: he had the defensive holding pilling, but what do you 154 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: do on the next play he caused a fumble after 155 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: the defensive holding penalty. So you know, to say that, 156 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: you know that people, I think people are being very 157 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: critical of this group. And again I will take blame 158 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: for this. I will take blame for being for influencing 159 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: people to say, I feel like this linebacking cores is 160 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: one of the best in the league. I feel like 161 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: this this it's the strength of this defense, they're going 162 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: to find a way. You know, we we're just not 163 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: seeing the splash play is the ripping the ball out 164 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: of the guy's hands, you know, on the goal line. 165 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: That's a splash play. But we'll haven't seen it down 166 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: after down after down. And if if that's where people 167 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: are expecting, and I think a lot of it has 168 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: to do with the fact that you got a new 169 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: contract extension. We all like to look at the player 170 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: and say, oh my god, we've paid to Marcus Lawrence. 171 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: Now look he can't play. Oh look, we've paid Jane Smith. 172 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: He can't play now. You know when Dak Prescott gets paid, 173 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 1: Oh my god, he can't play now either. It's a 174 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: different there's but I will take if you want to 175 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: put that on me for for saying that this was 176 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: one of the best, as potentially be one of the 177 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: best linebacking groups in the league, and they're not playing 178 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: to that level, then in fine point the finger at 179 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: me for saying that and maybe raising your expectations. But yeah, 180 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: can this group play better as a whole, Yeah they can, 181 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: but they feel like that they're not playing, that they're 182 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: not capable of playing better, you know, And pointing the 183 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: finger at at them for that, and I think that's 184 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: the wrong I think you're on something with the with 185 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: the splash plays because he and Layton together they don't 186 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: have any tackles for loss. They have they haven't blown 187 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: up plays necessarily. Yeah, but they've made plays. And like 188 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: I said yesterday, the run defense. I know, these offenses 189 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: they're playing right now so far have not been dominant offenses, 190 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: but they've done a better job against the run. I'm 191 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: really interested to see how they handle Kamara in this game. 192 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you can't ask for a better big offensive line. Yeah, 193 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: you have to get off some blocks and go. Yeah, 194 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: and Jason talked just now about tackling. That's that's line 195 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: one with this defense, and that's line one really for 196 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: this matchup on Sunday. Seeing a lot of a lot 197 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: of Joe Thomas's snaps when when when they were used 198 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,359 Speaker 1: Jalen Smith as a pass rusher, they had more linebackers 199 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: on the field. Yeah, so Thomas was playing linebacker while 200 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 1: he was kind of technically a pass rusher and making 201 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: it a four man line instead of a three man line. 202 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: If you want an evaluation of the linebackers as a whole. 203 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 1: Joe Thomas should be playing ahead of Shawn Lee if 204 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: you want, if you want a real evaluation of that, 205 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,599 Speaker 1: you know it because to me, the Shawn Lee, the 206 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: players you're getting from Shawn Lee are not impacting you 207 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 1: the way they need to be. Now again, that's just 208 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: me looking at looking at If you're gonna play bass, 209 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: go ahead and put Joe Thomas on the field if 210 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: that's what you want to do. If you feel like 211 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna get a more physical player, if you're gonna 212 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: get a better tackler, what at all? But Sean Lee 213 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: is the one to me if you say, okay, where 214 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: is this guy? You know? At the level level is 215 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 1: he playing at right now? I don't think you're getting 216 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 1: out of Seawan Lee what you expected to get out 217 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: of Shaan Lee. And they, obviously the coaches thought that 218 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: because they played him for Smith and they played him 219 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: for Lee. You know Thomas, you know the player he 220 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: was in twenty past plays, ten runs, those are those 221 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: are the pet plays he defended in this game. So 222 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: obviously they feel like that in base it's better or 223 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: Nickel it's better, and that's what they're gonna do. How 224 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: much do you expect the Saints to be in Nickel 225 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: as a post base in this offense. I think they 226 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: want to, you know, I think they want to find 227 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 1: ways to get the Cowboys spread out if they can, 228 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 1: and then and run Kamara downhill. I think they. I 229 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: don't think Sean Payton. I don't think Sean Payton really 230 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: believes in Dallas has run defense. I don't think he 231 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,359 Speaker 1: probably feels like my offensive line can get enough push 232 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: and can create problems. And you know, he's probably looking 233 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: at Dallas and saying, yeah, maybe they're tackling a little 234 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: bit better. But he saw that Giant's game. You know, 235 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: he saw what a big physical back can do to 236 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: this team. Now that Cowboys did a better job against 237 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: a big physical back in Week two against Washington. Yeah, 238 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: but you know, this offensive line is the best offensive 239 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: line that they get they've faced this point. It's just 240 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: it's just that that's what did. They've done a nice 241 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: job with that. But they're gonna lean on They're going 242 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: to lean on this running back and they're gonna lean 243 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: on Thomas for this game because they got to do 244 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: everything they can to help Bridgewater and keep him out 245 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: of harm's way. That's why I said yesterday, the nickel 246 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: back's going to be very important in this game because 247 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna spread them out and get That's why I'm 248 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: asking That's why I'm asking the question. Is I'm just 249 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: looking at snapcounts from last week in Seattle for New Orleans. Yeah, 250 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: and they they've only got two tight ends on their roster, 251 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: and it would be Jed Jared Cook and Josh Hill. Ye, 252 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: Cook had forty four They had fifty eight total offensive snaps. 253 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: Cook was on the field for forty four snaps and 254 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: Hill for thirty four snaps. Right, so they were more 255 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: in their two tight end formation than they were in 256 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: the nickels. They might have been worried about the Seattle's 257 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: pass rest and that and that, and also playing on 258 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: the road exactly in that environment, they wanted to keep 259 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: the quarterback. Right now, I'm wondering if they playing at home, 260 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: they can Bridgewater with a game under his belt now 261 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: two games total basically now. But but back at home, 262 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: if maybe they'll take a different approach. I just don't 263 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: think they're going to ask more of Bridgewater. They're gonna 264 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: ask more of Kamara. Yeah, much more can you ask? Well? 265 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: He he had he touched the ball twenty five times. 266 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 1: They may say you're gonna touch at thirty times. No. 267 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: If if Dallas proves that they can't handle the run 268 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: and don't tackle well enough, you know, we could have 269 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: one of those games where you know, where we were 270 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: several years ago, it felt like they had fifty first 271 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: downs in the game. I mean short of short of 272 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 1: the guys, uh my example here pass catching skills. This 273 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: is like trying to track down Barry Sanders. This guy 274 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: is just all over the place, and he's bigger. He 275 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 1: lines up everywhere. He can run, like Garrett said, just now, 276 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: he can run inside. He's not that scatback type guy. 277 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: But I but I do. I mean, of course he's 278 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: going to be heavily featured. But I just wonder, you know, 279 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: a couple starts in the game in the season now 280 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: with Bridgewater, do they get him a little bit more involved? 281 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 1: Is he a little bit more comfortable? I mean, I 282 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: think that's it. I think they have to do a 283 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: certain degree. You can't just lean on one guy. I'll 284 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: win a football game. I'll say this, Bridgewater can't win 285 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: a shootout against Dak Prescott. I don't think he can. Well, 286 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: they didn't even try throwing the ball down the fields. 287 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: And when I say down the field, I don't mean 288 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: like forty yard deep, yeah, I mean the intermediate passes 289 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: to keep defenses. Honest. There his passes, the majority of 290 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: them were dump off screens and little short outs. I 291 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: mean I think he averaged like five. I have to 292 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: look it up, anyone. Let me let me ask you 293 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: this though, guys, So after what you've seen Dallas having 294 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: to defend balls down the field, should you try to 295 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: throw the ball down? It's the easiest pass to throw 296 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: throw it deep because because two things are good, he 297 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: either catches it or interference or its interference. The bad 298 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: thing is it gets broken up. Yeah, so I'm taking 299 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: my chances with that. That's what I would do with 300 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: young and not a young but a backup quarterback like 301 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: that one. How do you think Garrett was was successful 302 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: on that Thanksgiving Day a game against the Packers. Absolutely, 303 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: just throw it deep. To Brill's advice, right, let lend 304 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: Elven go up and catch it, throw it high. Pretty simple. 305 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: Were you about to guess on Bridgewater's yards perk per 306 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: attempt six point six point five one hundred and seventy 307 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: seven yards passing twenty seven attempts. He was nineteen out 308 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: of twenty seven. I was gonna say five. I had 309 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: half of it, and there's the wrong half. And there 310 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: were times he passed up dump off screens to Camara 311 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: that could have lowered that even more. Go back and 312 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: watch the game. So yeah, I mean it's but I 313 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: do I think there is something to getting him comfortable 314 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: to a point where as the season goes along without Breeze, 315 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: he's there's a little bit more on his plate, and 316 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: I think I think you could see that in this game. 317 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: We'll see. Yeah, I'm thinking that Camara's yards after contact 318 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: might have increased, increased attempt because the ball wasn't traveling 319 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: a lot in the air. Right there you go, and 320 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: probably we expect about the same this week, although it'll 321 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: be more interesting plan at home for Bridgewater and the 322 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: Saints elsewhere. As far as injuries are concerned, we get 323 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: to those. After the break. I heard in my ear, okay, 324 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: not hearing that. So you were supposed to throw it 325 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: after the break. We'll get to that in just a moment. 326 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: Your new apartment's big, such a great deal. It's okay, 327 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: just okay, what's not right about the subway. Well, I 328 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: bet you don't even notice it after that's my neighbor. Angus. 329 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: A deal that's just okay is not okay.

Do the Bears play, Yeah, it's 375 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: the highest right now, but the average is four thirteen. 376 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: And I guess that includes a secondary market.

I'll tell you 385 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: what it used to be San Francisco when we stayed 386 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: in San Francisco and the game was in San Francisco. Um, 387 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 1: I always enjoy the trip to Green Bay. Yeah, I do. 388 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: It's a it's a I like the historic places. It's 389 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: just like my auto racing life. I like whole old 390 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: historic tracks.

Soldier Field before they put that thing 392 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: in the middle of it was a really good place 393 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: to college gun accounts since I grew up there. Green 394 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: Bay is great because you drive, you take the bus 395 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: through the neighborhoods. Here's an autoparts store. Yeah, most famous 396 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: arena stadium and Trude on the on the parch waving. 397 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: They don't have middle Fleet. But you know what for 398 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,239 Speaker 1: a big city, Philadelphia is a lot of fun. It is. 399 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: You can hear the eggs hitting the bus. That I 400 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: mean just the night before the game is fun. And 401 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: then I don't know, they turn into zombies in the 402 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: next day. In the stadium, periscope is asking Kansas City 403 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 1: can't see interestreament. We only go on there a couple time. 404 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: I've only been there once. Yeah, it's a hard place 405 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: to play. Yeah, I mean as far as stadium, but 406 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: he said, He said the city, the city, Yeah, just 407 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: as far as yeah got you, and Mickey quickly said, 408 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: other than New Orleans.

That's also my 423 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: favorite game ever as far as the Cowboys are concerned. 424 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: That NFC Championship game in ninety two, the next one 425 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: in ninety four, we stayed downtown San Francisco. Oh you weren't. 426 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 1: I think John Radigan was there. But the ninety two 427 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: there we had a pregame show, John RADI get an 428 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: eye from the hotel billing you up right now. Bill 429 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: was back running the thing at the station. Do you 430 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: remember Rob. I'm just kidding Ryan, it's a joke. It's 431 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: a joke. I will say this. There was an earthquake 432 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: the night before the Yes, the ninety two NFC Championship game, 433 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: and we were in the in the media of the 434 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: hospitality room. Sure you were, absolutely And then I hope 435 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: they have Chris had good food up there. And then 436 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: I ate it. Basta pasta. All right, we tease any 437 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: other questions we teased injury such a show today. Thanks 438 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: guys for healthy guys, getting guys getting healthy back on 439 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: the practice field. Yeah, that's the most important thing is 440 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: you know. The thing is I wanted to be where 441 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: they have decisions they have to make about their inactives. 442 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,199 Speaker 1: You know, last week it was pretty easy. I know, 443 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 1: you get six guys that can't play, but I think 444 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: I think it's worth keeping an eye on for Xavier Woods. 445 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: Even though Thompson played pretty well for you last week. 446 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: Any you need Xavier Woods out there there. There's a 447 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: certain bit of physicality he brings to the game, there's 448 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: a certain bit of ball hawking, and he brings to 449 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: the game instincts cover. I mean, if and the Saints 450 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 1: are gonna want to work the middle of the field, 451 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 1: that's big. I mean, I'm talked about it in my matchups. 452 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: You watch Thomas run these routes. Everything is inside, inside, inside, 453 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: and so you know you need somebody if if those guys, 454 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: if Byron Jones is holding up on the edge pretty 455 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: well and allows he's safety. We've seen the safeties get 456 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: their hands on more footballs the last couple of weeks. 457 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: Why because the corners, the corners they you know, we've 458 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: seen now safeties driving on football. Safeties getting their hands 459 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: on Jeff heat the last couple of weeks. One hit 460 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: him in the head, one he was going and four 461 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: you almost had the interception. Should have had the interception 462 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: right there. But I'll tell you what though, you know, 463 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: he it's a it's you know, having Woods out there, 464 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: I think is really really big, and I think he's 465 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: gonna They're supposed to practice on a limited basis, so 466 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 1: I would think that's a good sign absolutely of him 467 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: and Tavon Austin being ready to go. I would imagine 468 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: since Gifford has missed so much time, he said he 469 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: would be limited. But I'm thinking he's got at least 470 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 1: practice twice two weeks before they put it out. I 471 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: think it's you're just getting him acclimated again. And absolutely 472 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: I wonder if so there's there's four inactives right off 473 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: the bat, then which ones you got Crawford, Woods, Gifford, 474 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 1: and Gallows, Gallop and Gallop. Yeah, Gallops another week by. 475 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: It'd be nice to have Gallop in this game. He 476 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: lived these guys up. You know, they won this game 477 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: last year. I went back and a watch the game 478 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: just to kind of get an idea, you know, like 479 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: I was watching Cam Jordan and m Rush and seeing 480 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: how he was going to do against Lao Collins. You 481 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: realize the right the left side of that offensive line 482 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: was flaming Sue of Philo and Joe Luney at center. 483 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: That's how they won that game with those guys. I 484 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: mean it was tough. Suefilo was struggling bad. Maybe that's 485 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: why they scored thirteen points. Oh well, they had you know, 486 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: the fumble do you remember the fumble? Do you remember 487 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: I remember Amari Cooper catching the ball inside and fumbling. 488 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,199 Speaker 1: Remember they got the ball, they were they were on 489 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: a drive. The Cowboys were on a drive. I forgot 490 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: about this way. Yeah. He catches a slant inside on 491 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: I think it was on Apple and he's running. He 492 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: gets tackled in the middle of the field and fumbles 493 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: the ball. And Dallas was on a drive. So you know, 494 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,239 Speaker 1: there's some things that happened in that game that you know. 495 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: I mean, how about the fourth down stop that they made, 496 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: the goal line stand that they made. You know, there's 497 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 1: some good football that's It might be the last time 498 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: we've seen this defense really play, just shut down. They 499 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: had Drew Brees just rattled in that game. Yea, and 500 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 1: then they're gonna need to rattle Teddy Bridgewater and again 501 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: in this game. Tank Lawrence was everywhere in that game, 502 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: just everywhere. Yeah, and yeah, that's we talked about yesterday. 503 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: I think that's the best defensive performance I've seen them 504 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: have in ten years. Yeah. Ryan mcheck better buckle it 505 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: up this week at right tackle for the Saints. You 506 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: know they have a big offensive line. Get ready for it. 507 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: I bet to the Cowboys move their front a lot, 508 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: trying to keep stay active, stay going. Don't let this 509 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: front get their hands on You gotta tackle, like you 510 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 1: were talking about Rob Gotta tackle in this game. Yeah, 511 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: you know, tackle you're probably gonna lose. Well, that guy's 512 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 1: hard to tackle. He is hard to tackle. You can 513 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: tackle well and not tackle him. Yep, that's true. So 514 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: how much do you think Sean Payton looks at the 515 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: game last year in terms of putting a game plan together. 516 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: He probably looks in and says, I shouldn't do this, 517 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 1: and I shouldn't do this, and I shouldn't do this. 518 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: There's some things they probably went into that game feeling 519 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: like they could be pretty effective at and they did 520 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: not execute well at all. But give Dallas a lot 521 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: of credit. Christopher Shard, Rod Marrine. I had a great 522 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: game plan and to put to put George Lewis in 523 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: that situation allow him to play as well as he did. 524 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: But that that they got, they got bodies to the 525 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: ball last year in that game, they really did. And 526 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: the Cowboys offensively did enough, you know, to maintain I 527 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: mean they Jack Prescott had some great scramble runs that 528 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: he made, so yeah. I mean they're they're in a 529 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 1: little bit of a situation that Saints you're a little 530 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: bit of a bind. You know. They here, they come 531 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: out playing Russell Wilson, who's an active mobile quarterback, the 532 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: read option stuff, you know, and then you get another 533 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: dose of read option coming this week at you with 534 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: some of those plays, and you know, I like, I say, 535 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: Sean's gonna look in and say, okay, I would I'll 536 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: call that game differently than I did last year and 537 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: try and make this work. Well, the difference is going 538 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: to be as Kamara is going to be out there. 539 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 1: If they got seventy snaps, he's gonna get sixty. He was, 540 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: he was just kind of an extra player. Last year. 541 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 1: They tried to run it with Ingram. Yeah, uh that 542 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: that ain't happening this time. And I think when they 543 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: get you know, you mentioned Jordan Lewis and I don't 544 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: know that they'll do this, but if you got Kamara 545 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 1: back there and they're in they're in their nickel offense 546 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: with three wide and it's third and say five to whatever, 547 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: Cowboy's got to go dime and put Lewis in there 548 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: because he's got to keep an eye not only on Kamara, 549 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: but the quarterback will pick it off and I mean 550 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: take off and run too. But yeah, this is a 551 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: different situation. I feel like with Breeze not being in 552 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: the game, Breeze is so good at getting rid of 553 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: the ball when he reads blitz the swing. This is 554 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: where Kamara will kill you on the swing pass and 555 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: stuff like that. It breezes in there, he'll just lob 556 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 1: it over the top of the blitz. And then so 557 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,719 Speaker 1: with Bridgewater, I'm coming after Bridgewater. I mean, if it 558 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: means Smith and everybody attacking that that line of scrimmage 559 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: and making those guys have to hold heck, I would 560 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: try and blitz him to the point of making Kamara 561 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: have to stay in and block. You know, That's what 562 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: I would do. If you could force him to have 563 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: to not get out and route because he's got to 564 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: pick up a blitz, that might be a good plan 565 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: for them to think about. And this game is you know, 566 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: because if you could affect Bridgewater, I think because his 567 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: eye level will come down. I saw him the Rams 568 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: do it and then he had no form of a 569 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,719 Speaker 1: running game at all, and when he came in there, 570 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: and I know he didn't prepare but he's a veteran quarterback. 571 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: He should have been ready to play in the game. 572 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: But the Ams came after him and that eye level 573 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: went down and he wasn't complete and passes, and the 574 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: Rams did a great job. I mean, the Rams have 575 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: got are a really good pass rush. We all know that. 576 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: But you know the Cowboys can have an effective pass 577 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: rush too. I'm coming after Bridgewater. I'm taking my chances. 578 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: I know with Breeze, I think Breeze can burn me 579 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: on the blitz. I don't think this guy can burn 580 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: me on the blitz. That's what I'm gonna get to 581 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: him before he can get rid of the ball. That's 582 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: my plan. Looking at last year's game, Kamara was actually 583 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: on the field for thirty six snaps and Ingram for 584 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: twenty one. It's the Cowboys, and he touched at nineteen times. 585 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: Ingram touched it nine times back in the game in December. Yeah, 586 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: it was more of a true split back then. Yeah, 587 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: and I'm looking up, what do you I mean, he 588 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: pretty much played every snap against Seattle last week all 589 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: but has to maybe nine something like that yet, right, 590 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: I mean they bury as well, But yeah, Petted, you 591 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: don't see him too often, right, I think to just you, 592 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: I think you're going to get a steady diet of 593 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,479 Speaker 1: him in this game. Sean Payton is going to say, okay, 594 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: it's to me. It's gonna be a matter of which 595 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: defense can keep the other one from running. I know 596 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: it sounds crazy when you get the Saints and the 597 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: Cowboys playing a game, but but both teams are going 598 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: to try and hammer the ball at the other team 599 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: and see which one of them breaks. That's what I 600 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: think is going to happen to blitzing running all these 601 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: kinds of things. See what the Cowboys have to be 602 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: careful though, is the way they play their defensive line. 603 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: What everybody want to get off the ball and get 604 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: up the field that they better hope that they don't 605 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: use that against them, and throwing those little swing passes 606 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: to the outside because you get him out in the 607 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: in space one on one, it's not a good matchup 608 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: for the defense, even though you got a spy on him. 609 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: So Periscope says, their blitz never gets home. I just 610 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,959 Speaker 1: told you that that Smith Smith blitzed and again they 611 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: got they got Collins home for a sack. It does, 612 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: it does get there? You know you get Sometimes you 613 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: get these veteran quarterbacks that will get rid of the ball. 614 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: You start affecting a quarterback, hitting him a bunch in 615 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: the game, that's just as good. That's just as good 616 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: as a sack. But sorry, pariscope, that's not right. They 617 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: brought Smith on a blitz, they got him inside and 618 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: they got Collins home on the rush. How much do 619 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: the Saints miss Sheldon Rankins. I guess there's a chance 620 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: he could be back this week before next heard, yeah, 621 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: he's heart had injury. Yeah, but I tell you what, though, 622 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: they've had this this Malcolm Brown from Texas. Yeah, and 623 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: then and then the I'm in the butcher. This guy's 624 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: name David Amata is Animata got a sack last year 625 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: in the game. You know he beat he beat uh, 626 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: he beat a sue of Philo. He just overpowered Sue 627 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: Philo and went around the corner and got it. Dak 628 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: On a sack there, and Cam Jordan had a sack 629 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: in that game too. I think Calboys will be better 630 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: offensively with the offensive line now, of course, with you know, 631 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: with Martin in there playing, you know, when you got 632 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: Frederick in there playing, you know, Connor Williams hopefully, hopefully 633 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: will improve a little bit more as these things go on. Smith, 634 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: I told you who was on the left side of 635 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: that offensive Line's damn lucky they didn't have eight sacks 636 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 1: in that game. You know. That's that's that's the underlooked 637 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: point of this offense right now, is that Dak isn't 638 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: getting He's getting pressured some, but he's not getting touched 639 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: a whole heck of a lot. And I think it 640 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: is it one sack. He's being able to set his 641 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: feet and kind of survey the field and go through 642 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: his reads and do almost to a fault like on 643 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: his interception last week, but kind of gets what he wants. 644 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: It's just a different it's a different story this year. 645 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: And again, I think that's the key. That's one of 646 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: the keys for me every week is if can they 647 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: affect Dak Prescott because if they can't, they're gonna basically 648 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: do what they've been doing. Yeah, one sack means, by 649 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: the way, one sack does mean you got home.

It's probably one of those 721 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 1: press conferences when you started laughing uncontrollably talked to Mickey 722 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: or what the context would have been. I couldn't remember 723 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: at all. Um, where is there something on Coach's film 724 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: that elicited a chuckle from Brian? Brought us from last 725 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,919 Speaker 1: week's game? Jason Witten? Yeah, Jason Witt, it's real quick. 726 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 1: If I can't Yeah, if you go to Scotsy or 727 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: from the game, it's Witten was on a double team 728 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: block with with Collins and he and he's got taco 729 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,320 Speaker 1: and they're driving him in the next week and basically 730 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 1: like the play, is over and Witness like still blocking 731 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: him and like gives him this big shove and like 732 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,799 Speaker 1: he was trying to like push him over somebody on 733 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 1: the ground and it, you know, and it w Witten 734 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: turned back around and looked at him and said something like, yeah, okay, 735 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 1: you never you know, I need to ask Witten what 736 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: he said to him. But Taco kind of just kind 737 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,280 Speaker 1: of doesn't look at him and Wit. I know Witten 738 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 1: said something to him because he just two hands shoved 739 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: him as the play. As the play was, you know, 740 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: everybody's trying to unpile and Witten is still blocking him 741 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: down the field, you know. But I have to ask 742 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: with what he said. No, it made me laugh to 743 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: watch him do it, because Witten's kind of a chippy 744 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 1: guy that way. Maybe maybe he said you, I'm going 745 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,399 Speaker 1: to get you some chicken nuggets. Yeah, on the way home. 746 00:37:56,239 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: I don't know about yes, yes, yes, that question was 747 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 1: asked today by Clarence and the walk off. I missed 748 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 1: that chicken nuggets. Oh yeah, it's Dak feeling more comfortable 749 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 1: in the huddle. Is he feeling more comfortable now he's 750 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: talking about chicken nuggets? So was Jason aware of the 751 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: NFL Films gave it. Garrett gave him a look like, 752 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: what the hell are you? What? I figured? As we 753 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 1: hear one clip out of a million that he's had 754 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: last three years, and speaking of that, we have no 755 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 1: idea even though he's in the huddle, we have no 756 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 1: idea what the context of that is he because it 757 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 1: could have been. You know, DA's been pretty comfortable since 758 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 1: he took this thing over with all the question. All right, 759 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be with you tomorrow because I've got 760 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 1: TV duties. But there is a large game on Thursday night, 761 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 1: Philadelphia plays at green Bay. How big could this game be? 762 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,839 Speaker 1: From a Cowboys perspective? If the Eagles go into Green 763 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: Bay and lose, Cowboys win Sunday night, they could have 764 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,879 Speaker 1: a three game lead on the goals through four weeks. Yeah, 765 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: we're going at the quarter point of the season, three 766 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: game league with twelve to go. What's what's the magic number? Yeah? 767 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 1: What's the magic number? There? For sure? I believe ten. 768 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 1: You know, it's it's interesting they're looking around the league 769 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 1: and just it's only three games. Yeah, but they get 770 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,879 Speaker 1: to play the Dolphins. They already played the Redskins, right, 771 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: and then they they haven't played the Giants. I think 772 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: they that's games coming up. Yeah, so yeah, they might 773 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,920 Speaker 1: make those games up as well. So I'll have to 774 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 1: you know, I think with the Eagles, what do we 775 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: got going here? We got a bunch of injuries. Yeah, 776 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: so let's see. Why is the Eagle schedule? What Jaguars? What? 777 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 1: You want the Eagle schedule? Yeah, I mean I want 778 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 1: the Eagle schedule. I want to know who they're playing 779 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,360 Speaker 1: after this, because they got there. They got the Jets 780 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: on October sixth, Okay, so that's yeah, that's probably a 781 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 1: win right there. Then at the Vikings, Okay, that's gonna 782 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 1: be difficult. It's not easy to play that Cowboys, and 783 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,799 Speaker 1: then at the Cowboys, Okay, so yeah, I mean you 784 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,359 Speaker 1: can then at the bill who are unbeaten right now. Yeah. 785 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: To me, this yeah, this is a game that you know, 786 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 1: this is a game that they clearly have to go 787 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 1: in there and play better and find a way to win. 788 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: They gave win away the other day. So they're starting 789 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,479 Speaker 1: to stretch here where four of the next five games 790 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,879 Speaker 1: are on the road way back. Yeah, they got at 791 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 1: Green Bay and then home against the Jets and then 792 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 1: at Minnesota at Dallas at Buffalo, Yeah, and then Chicago 793 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 1: and New England and Seattle at home, three straight road 794 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: at home games. Yeah. So but look at that NFC North, No, 795 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,400 Speaker 1: I know, I mean, everybody's got a winning record in 796 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 1: the YA. That's exactly right. You mean Detroit's doing a 797 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,959 Speaker 1: much better job in the secondary. Man, they're they're playing 798 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 1: pretty well with that, you know. I like them going 799 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 1: to Philadelphia and winning the way they did one game 800 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,319 Speaker 1: at a time. Absolutely absolutely. Well. That's the other thing. 801 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: If you go back and look after three weeks last year, 802 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,279 Speaker 1: and it's it's I looked a couple of days ago, 803 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay was up at the top of their Miami 804 00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's early. It's so early early, and 805 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 1: things turn around, but it does seem like there's more 806 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 1: of a division between the halves and the have nots 807 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,320 Speaker 1: now for to me anyway. Well, but there's always teams 808 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,480 Speaker 1: that I mean, there are some definite have nots right now, 809 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: but there's teams that start strong that you wonder can 810 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 1: they keep it up? Can San Francisco keep it exactly 811 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 1: so they're not one of them? And New England keep 812 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: it up? Yeah, I think they can. But you know, this. 813 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,000 Speaker 1: But you know what, this applies to the Saints too, 814 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,919 Speaker 1: because I we talk about desperate team theory. I think 815 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: they're a desperate team until Breeze gets back. I think 816 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: they can't afford to lose game. They need to tread 817 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 1: water until he can get back. And you know, you 818 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 1: look at their schedule after this, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville, Chicago. Yeah, 819 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 1: but the problem is their division. You know, can can 820 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:47,319 Speaker 1: they You talk about tread water? You know, are they are? 821 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 1: They need to do well, That's what I'm saying. Though 822 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,839 Speaker 1: Carolina is not playing well, Tampa is not playing well. 823 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 1: At Lanta? What are they? I mean they would they 824 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 1: look good against you know, maybe Philadelphia is not any good, 825 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,239 Speaker 1: But they beat Philadelphia home and then go to Indianapolis 826 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 1: and get beat what's Atlanta? If you can get a 827 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,879 Speaker 1: home win against this, a game that on paper maybe 828 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: you're not supposed to win, no question, feather in your 829 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 1: cap and you can go and get back to what's 830 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,839 Speaker 1: the line on this game? I don't know if they're 831 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 1: not supposed to win it. I think it's three and 832 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,359 Speaker 1: a half. Saint Dallas is favored by three and a half. 833 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,200 Speaker 1: I think I don't know. I'm a gambler, But I 834 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: don't know that line. Green Bay is minus four in 835 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:28,720 Speaker 1: this game. Not green Bay to play in New Orleans. 836 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:33,919 Speaker 1: Come on, I dropping dealing with five different things. Okay, 837 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:40,600 Speaker 1: well then I'm gonna give you some time off. So 838 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,919 Speaker 1: so I keep reading about how the Cowboys preseason's over, 839 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 1: right because the easy opponents. Sure, New England has beaten 840 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:54,200 Speaker 1: and three Pittsburgh and three Miami and oh and three Jets. Yeah, 841 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,360 Speaker 1: so there, that's why there are seasons over there. Nobody 842 00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,879 Speaker 1: saw Pittsburg. The Cowboys opponents are one and eight, by 843 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,879 Speaker 1: the way, so they've got a game lead on the Patriots. Right, 844 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 1: all right. That does it for talking Cowboys, and a 845 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 1: lot of us will be talking at you again tomorrow. 846 00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:16,320 Speaker 1: I'm talking Cowboys.
