<v Speaker 2>Man, nice little top.

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 4>It's kind of greenish.

0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 3>Shit. I didn't want to bring up the fact that

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 3>you're not wearing any school colors today, Mickey.

0:00:57.760 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 5>No one's playing, is there other than high schools?

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.640
<v Speaker 4>No, that's right, but I mean your cowboy colors.

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 5>You said school colors.

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well it's.

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 5>My school colors.

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Someone played last night, Yeah they did?

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, U l V against.

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.960
<v Speaker 5>Cal I missed that they won.

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:18.959
<v Speaker 6>I must admit.

0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 4>We can talk some college basketball if you'd like, we can.

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:23.839
<v Speaker 4>Uh huh, that's right.

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 6>I'm not ready for college basketball.

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 7>I think he wants to talk that because Oklahoma the

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 7>big When.

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 5>Did they beat the number one team? In the nation.

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:33.759
<v Speaker 4>They beat Michigan.

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what they're ranked, but Oklahoma just might

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:39.319
<v Speaker 3>be the number one team in the nation before you

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 3>know it when.

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 5>They got to play Missouri twice.

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:43.839
<v Speaker 2>So be careful, you guys.

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 5>They beat Kansas with rank number one. Okay, guys missed that?

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 4>Are they unbeaten?

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:51.919
<v Speaker 5>One loss?

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 4>Well, use unbeaten?

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 3>So they Okay, that's gonna be a showdown, all right,

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 3>But we have football players on a football fee yield.

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 5>Hopefully there's enough for football here today.

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 6>Bags is out there trying to count to see who's missing.

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 4>So who's missing?

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:14.440
<v Speaker 5>He had six missing and it was only a walkthrough,

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 5>so we know Diggs is out, Tuma was out with

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:26.920
<v Speaker 5>an ankle. Eric Kendricks was personal rests. So I'm not

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 5>worried about that. The one that I think may it

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 5>be a concern is Misy Smith with a back because

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:39.639
<v Speaker 5>they brought back Justin Rogers today. Justin Rogers seventh round

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 5>draft choice. He was on a I think he was

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 5>on practice squad and they signed him to the fifty

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.800
<v Speaker 5>three really defensive.

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Tackles to tackle the old defensive tackle out of Auburn.

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 5>Were talking about that yesterday. No depth is kind of

0:02:58.480 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 5>out there by himself.

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 3>Will McClay had that in his hip pocket, right, that

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 3>was whenever the need arose, they would go to the

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:09.799
<v Speaker 3>Justin Rodgers Bank well Man.

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:13.960
<v Speaker 5>And if you think about it, when you sign somebody

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 5>off the practice squad, you owe them three games they're left,

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 5>but you all three games and you also are hanging

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 5>on to their rights going forward. So they could have

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 5>signed them to a two year deal.

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:29.679
<v Speaker 4>That's what they're doing.

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So which attracted because it's also Justin Rogers decision

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 3>whether he accepts an offer from the Dallas Cowboy the

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 3>other team.

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 4>That's right.

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.360
<v Speaker 3>So now you get down to the last three games

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 3>and here you go, you make that move and you

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 3>fortifying yourself for the future too.

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 5>And they're yeah, and all you got to do is

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 5>sign them.

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 4>To because you got that seventh round draft pick back.

0:03:58.200 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 4>That's right.

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 5>Thought of it that way. That's that's like when you

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 5>know when they signed Cavante Turpin not knowing what he

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:11.760
<v Speaker 5>was he signed a three year deal, right, and it's

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 5>like I know his agent and so I told him,

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 5>what are you doing after he's Rookie of the Year,

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 5>and I'm figuring, Okay, he's up for a big payday,

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.920
<v Speaker 5>and my buddy goes, well, when no one's knocking at

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 5>your door and you didn't like play again in college

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 5>and you get an opportunity, you basically sign whatever they offering.

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 3>Right, And he's still even though he came into the

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:37.479
<v Speaker 3>league ladies, still falls into the category of the he

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 3>hadn't put in the time to earn for his agency yet.

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:41.000
<v Speaker 4>Until this fourth year.

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:45.920
<v Speaker 5>So now he'll be restricted this coming year. Which sometimes

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.440
<v Speaker 5>they signed those guys early and gave them a little

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:49.600
<v Speaker 5>signing bonus.

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 6>I think that should be part of the practice. I

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 6>don't like wait until the last minute. I don't like

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:56.920
<v Speaker 6>how we did it this year. I know it was

0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 6>all kinds of circumstances that go with that, but time,

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 6>I mean, just needs to be a little better. That way,

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.279
<v Speaker 6>you don't put yourself in the bind. Try and stay

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 6>away from that if you can in some way.

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.360
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think they've got a better idea of where

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 5>they are against a very tight salary cap that's getting

0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 5>tighter next year. But they've already taken care of two

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.799
<v Speaker 5>of those big contracts and now Micah with its fifty

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 5>year options, is going to be twenty some million, right,

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 5>so they know that for sure, and they know that

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.719
<v Speaker 5>what the quarterback is, and they know what the wide

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 5>receiver is. And I don't know that they've got another

0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:41.240
<v Speaker 5>big ticket item they got to worry about. But they

0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 5>got to worry about would you like to bring Osa back?

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 5>Would you like to bring Rico back? So those are

0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.040
<v Speaker 5>things you got to take care of. And when you're

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 5>a restricted free agent, you have the right of first refusal.

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 4>Right, what year is Tyler Smith now in this league?

0:05:58.480 --> 0:05:59.720
<v Speaker 4>So he should the third year.

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:03.719
<v Speaker 3>It's just this is just so it won't be long

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.040
<v Speaker 3>and you'll have a Tyler Smith decision to make.

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:07.360
<v Speaker 6>Yep.

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.719
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely, I mean it's just ongoing exactly.

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:12.280
<v Speaker 2>There's always gonna be that, right.

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 5>You just got to hope the salary cap keep going up.

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 6>You're right, because the salaries are going up and they

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.279
<v Speaker 6>are making money. They are not going to pay anybody

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 6>they can't pay. It's not like, oh, well we're going

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.160
<v Speaker 6>to go into Hawk for this guy. That is not happening.

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.680
<v Speaker 6>They it's just a matter of getting it done. You

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 6>gotta be strategic about it. But the money is there

0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 6>if you're strategic about how you do it.

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 5>And the other thing Jordan Lewis was going back to

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 5>the injuries. Was limited yesterday with the elbow, but he

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 5>said he's good to go, So that helps out of.

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:47.640
<v Speaker 6>That.

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 2>DB's what tough man.

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.719
<v Speaker 5>But the strange one did I mention? I didn't mention

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 5>the other corner the starters, right, the other corner? Uh,

0:06:57.920 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 5>I thought he was out with an injury.

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:00.559
<v Speaker 4>Not there.

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 5>They wanted to see Andrew Booth out there. Really, I

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 5>hope they saw enough. Sorry, So basically you're saying not

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:11.280
<v Speaker 5>a man of the guy.

0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 3>But but but that also tells you they had seen

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 3>enough of a rearer in that game, right yeah.

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 5>Right, yeah, kind of half the time.

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 3>Uh huh man, So that's that's six significance of that.

0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 5>We never talked about that, did we, Well you we

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 5>we we uh No, we talked about the other play

0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 5>that he made, right, We.

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Didn't talk about the one that.

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 5>That was so and from your standpoint, when you're on

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 5>the outside like that and your guy cuts breaks in,

0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:46.760
<v Speaker 5>you got to take the other guy that's breaking out.

0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Well right, Well, I don't think it was a man

0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 2>to man situation.

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 5>No, it wasn't.

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.520
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it was just like you kind of match up

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 6>in a match up his own situation.

0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:56.480
<v Speaker 5>So you got to take the guy that comes into

0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 5>your area, right.

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:03.360
<v Speaker 2>But your area is way then got up here.

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 4>You gotta carry him way back.

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.000
<v Speaker 6>All the way back there. Yeah, what your area? It

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 6>starts at the goal line and you come up. And

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 6>I don't think.

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 4>It's like when you're taking the trash out to the curb.

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 3>You don't stop at the if you got to go

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 3>all the way to the curb, you don't stop at

0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 3>the flower bed and drop it off there.

0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Got it right, you gotta put it in the bin.

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:25.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the bend is back there.

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 2>You gotta put it in the.

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 5>Bed because the carbage man's coming up.

0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.120
<v Speaker 6>So I don't know what he was thinking, but man

0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.679
<v Speaker 6>in the situation like that, And let's just hope he's

0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 6>one of those guys, because I know I was. Once

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.000
<v Speaker 6>you get me, you're not gonna get me with the

0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.920
<v Speaker 6>same thing anymore. So let's hope he's. I mean, he's

0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 6>been there long enough to I think that's his deal.

0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 6>So we got to have it booth out there. We

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.160
<v Speaker 6>took care of the specialty was the wait before. Now

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.120
<v Speaker 6>we took care of this, so we're not.

0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 2>Gonna get him. Those two things are never gonna happen again.

0:08:58.400 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 4>That's right, what's gonna happen?

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:02.520
<v Speaker 2>No, we can't have those.

0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 6>You know, it's kind of hard to anticipate problems that

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 6>you just assumed that you wouldn't know, right, I would

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:14.199
<v Speaker 6>anticipate that you're not going to line up deep and

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 6>stay deep.

0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:20.040
<v Speaker 2>That's just you on me once for me once. Damn,

0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:20.680
<v Speaker 2>I was stupid.

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:22.760
<v Speaker 6>That's what that is.

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 4>That's what that is, all right, mickey.

0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, we got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rolling in here,

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 3>and they are rolling in here. They've won four straight games.

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 3>Their offense is averaging thirty one points a game. Baker Mayfield,

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 3>according to the head coach, is playing as well as

0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.440
<v Speaker 3>he's seen him play in his career, and goes all

0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.160
<v Speaker 3>the way back to seeing him at Lake Travis High

0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 3>School where his the coach's daughter was a few years

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 3>ahead of Baker. But he's familiar with Lake Travis High

0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.320
<v Speaker 3>School and there, of course, Garrett Gilbert was there.

0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:58.079
<v Speaker 4>He had him, of course, but.

0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 5>A lot of quarterbacks came out all Austin.

0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:01.880
<v Speaker 4>That's right.

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 5>So it's a weird season for them. They start off well,

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:09.760
<v Speaker 5>they lose four straight and now they've won four string.

0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:15.520
<v Speaker 5>But there's a caveat there. They've beaten the two and

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 5>twelve Giants, the three and eleven Panthers, the two and

0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 5>eleven Vegases, and the Chargers who are eight and six,

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 5>So I give them that one. Now, that last win

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:31.680
<v Speaker 5>that was that.

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.040
<v Speaker 6>Was I don't know if that means that they figured

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 6>things out, because if you're going to be trending up

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:41.400
<v Speaker 6>with this is the best time to do it, right

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:43.960
<v Speaker 6>this time of year. You don't want to go in

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:48.800
<v Speaker 6>with any question marks. But having said that, you're ramping

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:52.480
<v Speaker 6>up with these average teams and now you beat a

0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:54.600
<v Speaker 6>team like the Chargers. I don't know if I want

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.120
<v Speaker 6>to put the Chargers up there as an elite type

0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 6>of team in the league right now. But that was

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.840
<v Speaker 6>a big win now, and the way they did it

0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:02.800
<v Speaker 6>was very impressive.

0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.800
<v Speaker 3>So it's kind of like the Cowboys, like they got

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 3>wins in the same stretch. They got wins over the

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:11.719
<v Speaker 3>Giants and the Panthers, which is the same as the Buccaneers, right,

0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:13.200
<v Speaker 3>and the only difference.

0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 5>And they beat Washington.

0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 3>They beat Washington, which is the equivalent of beating the Chargers, right,

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:23.199
<v Speaker 3>So you're looking they lost to Cincinnati, which would have

0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 3>been instead Tampa Bay gotta win over Vegas.

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.160
<v Speaker 5>That loss is going to come back to them.

0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:35.880
<v Speaker 6>It is that freaking punt see punt man, you know.

0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 5>And the other thing they've done well too winning those

0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:42.199
<v Speaker 5>games is they've only in those four consecutive wins that

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 5>they've only given up sixty points. So my math tells

0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 5>me that's fifteen points a game. That's pretty good.

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Who do we owe that to? Do you think, Michael Parsons.

0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:53.720
<v Speaker 5>No, I met Tampa Bay.

0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 3>So their average margin of victory the last four games

0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:00.000
<v Speaker 3>is about thirty one to fifteen.

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.760
<v Speaker 5>Sounds that way, especially when you put up a forty, right.

0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:11.160
<v Speaker 5>So yeah, I think Mike McCarthy said this is a

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:16.000
<v Speaker 5>big challenge, and I agree with him because they are

0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:21.600
<v Speaker 5>playing well offensively and defensively. You know they're gonna find

0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.600
<v Speaker 5>they're gonna meet the NFC Defensive Player of the Week

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:31.960
<v Speaker 5>with Levonte David is that is one hundred and three

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:32.960
<v Speaker 5>tackles already.

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 3>You know who has the most solo tackles among active

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 3>players of the National Football League right now with.

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.640
<v Speaker 4>Eleven hundred, is it David? That would be Levante David.

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 5>Really, he has one hundred tackles, I believe I saw

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:55.920
<v Speaker 5>this in their notes. Eleven straight times, eleven seasons in

0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:57.600
<v Speaker 5>a row with one hundred.

0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:00.839
<v Speaker 3>Tackles, second round draft pick in twenty two twelve.

0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.680
<v Speaker 5>With at least one hundred how many season eleven?

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.560
<v Speaker 4>Damn he came in the league in twenty twelve.

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 3>So this is he's been here forever, thirteenth years out

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:15.960
<v Speaker 3>of Nebraska. He was with he played for Nebraska when

0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:19.199
<v Speaker 3>Nebraska was good. Yeah, it's a long time ago.

0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:27.640
<v Speaker 5>I get back there with Johnny Fuss State. Yet is

0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 5>its giving again?

0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Right? You know?

0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:37.080
<v Speaker 6>This team, the Cowboys team, Yeah, what Tampa is.

0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 2>They've been that before.

0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.319
<v Speaker 6>They have been that team that's gotten on the road.

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:46.360
<v Speaker 6>Baker Mayfield has really been consistent with him. You know,

0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:49.680
<v Speaker 6>he's had some some inconsistencies, but overall, you know what

0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.560
<v Speaker 6>you're gonna get with Baker. He's gonna come out just

0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.720
<v Speaker 6>really trying his hardest and you're gonna get your best

0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 6>from him. And there's sometimes when you might see greatness

0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:04.800
<v Speaker 6>from Baker Mayfield. But this Cowboys team, with the running

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.720
<v Speaker 6>game that they have and the way this defense is playing,

0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:14.719
<v Speaker 6>it can be probably the best team that we've had. Uniquely,

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:16.880
<v Speaker 6>I'll put it like that. In quite some time. I'm

0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:18.320
<v Speaker 6>not talking about the quarterback position.

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.960
<v Speaker 5>Just despite all the injuries and what we've come.

0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 6>Through and now with what our game plan is, our

0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.920
<v Speaker 6>game plan is not to come out dak CD. It

0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 6>is not that our game plan has come out of

0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:35.200
<v Speaker 6>hitching the mouth right now on both sides. On both

0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:38.160
<v Speaker 6>sides and the way we're running that ball, No one's

0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 6>really that comfortable with us the way we're running the ball,

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 6>and I know the teams aren't that great, but we

0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:49.040
<v Speaker 6>did what we were supposed to do, which at times

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:51.960
<v Speaker 6>is a miracle for us doing what we're supposed to

0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.920
<v Speaker 6>do to win the game. And we've done that, i'd say,

0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:56.320
<v Speaker 6>especially the last three weeks.

0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:58.800
<v Speaker 3>The Cowboys went through a stretch of the season where

0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 3>they had to be like five straight g games against

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 3>what were then division leaders, and then they've gone through

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.600
<v Speaker 3>a stretch of about four games where they haven't faced

0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:10.160
<v Speaker 3>division leader. Well now they're back playing a division leader

0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.960
<v Speaker 3>this week in Tampa Bay and then a division leader

0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:15.080
<v Speaker 3>next week in Philadelphia. So we're going to find out

0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.840
<v Speaker 3>a lot more about where this Cowboys team is.

0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:19.560
<v Speaker 2>That's what I talked about yesterday.

0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:23.720
<v Speaker 6>You know, this Tampa team coming in here, that's usually

0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:27.200
<v Speaker 6>the teams, the type of teams that really put us

0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:29.680
<v Speaker 6>in our place. They've done that in the past.

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.000
<v Speaker 5>Well, if you look at that five game stretch, so

0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.560
<v Speaker 5>Detroit first place.

0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.720
<v Speaker 4>Well in Pittsburgh before that, won that game.

0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:45.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Pittsburgh now now San Francisco fell off, Atlanta second place,

0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:50.160
<v Speaker 5>Philadelphia first place, and Houston still hanging in the first.

0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:52.720
<v Speaker 3>And Atlanta was a first place team when they played

0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:54.520
<v Speaker 3>when they played, and Houston's won their division.

0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so that was that was Atlanta's last good game.

0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.920
<v Speaker 5>That was the stretch. Ye guts because think about it

0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.920
<v Speaker 5>after Pittsburgh, we forget they were three and two.

0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.960
<v Speaker 6>So but like I said, it's it's our style of

0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:14.280
<v Speaker 6>play exactly. It's very different. Now we're not throwing the ball.

0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.760
<v Speaker 2>We are a basically a run first team.

0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.800
<v Speaker 6>I don't think I've ever I can't remember us being

0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 6>a run first team in a long time. We'll find

0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:26.560
<v Speaker 6>winning while doing it, winning while doing.

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.480
<v Speaker 5>Now, going up against this defense, will find out if

0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:29.800
<v Speaker 5>they can.

0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:33.400
<v Speaker 6>Interesting is even if I'm an offensive lineman, if I'm

0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:36.320
<v Speaker 6>an offensive coach, let's see what's.

0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Going to happen.

0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.120
<v Speaker 6>We're going to continue to do what we do.

0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:42.040
<v Speaker 3>The interesting thing about it is even after Dak got

0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.920
<v Speaker 3>hurt in the Atlanta game, it took like three games

0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:50.600
<v Speaker 3>before the Cowboys figured out that, okay, we need to

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:51.440
<v Speaker 3>run the ball.

0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.880
<v Speaker 4>Rather first, rather than pass the ball first.

0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:57.600
<v Speaker 6>And it's helping him out. I mean, it's helping him

0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:02.080
<v Speaker 6>rush out. He's you know, basically doing what he can

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.600
<v Speaker 6>and we're living and winning with his limitations.

0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, the beautiful thing about it too is CDs still

0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.320
<v Speaker 3>getting his numbers nine catches, hundred and sixteen yards and

0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:16.360
<v Speaker 3>a touchdown with this philosophy, you know, he's benefiting from.

0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:18.520
<v Speaker 6>By the way, So we have to say that the

0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:22.680
<v Speaker 6>running game is helping him a preparation, right, you don't

0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:24.920
<v Speaker 6>have the double team. We need that safety down here

0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:27.440
<v Speaker 6>to plug the run. Now I can work on you

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 6>one on one, and you know, most likely I'm going

0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:33.560
<v Speaker 6>to create the separation on a consistent basis.

0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.879
<v Speaker 3>And it doesn't mean you're running. An emphasis on the

0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:40.240
<v Speaker 3>run doesn't mean you're flipping the script and going seventy

0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:42.679
<v Speaker 3>percent run plays and thirty percent pass plays.

0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:44.680
<v Speaker 4>But we're running passing.

0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.680
<v Speaker 6>Leg still a passing league, but we are. We are

0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:52.000
<v Speaker 6>running and giving our passing game a chance, a chance.

0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.679
<v Speaker 5>And it helps when you're not down by twenty points,

0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:56.080
<v Speaker 5>no doubt immediately.

0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:58.120
<v Speaker 6>And that's what I'm talking about with Michael pass.

0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:01.480
<v Speaker 5>Because I was looking here back everything from a passing

0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:04.200
<v Speaker 5>that's something when he came back.

0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:10.640
<v Speaker 3>How about this, Since Mike has returned six games, Cowboys

0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.960
<v Speaker 3>lead the league with twenty four sacks and they are

0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.000
<v Speaker 3>third in the league with thirteen takeaways in those six

0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:21.720
<v Speaker 3>games since Mike has returned. And who has benefited a

0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:25.160
<v Speaker 3>lot also from that is Osa Digazuli. Take another away

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.520
<v Speaker 3>from Osa's abilities, but having Micah.

0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:30.400
<v Speaker 4>Back the last seven people in the last.

0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:37.639
<v Speaker 3>Seven weeks, he leads the league with thirty two quarterback pressures.

0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:38.520
<v Speaker 4>Osa does.

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Also since there's got two people blocking block.

0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:49.439
<v Speaker 5>And when you mentioned about running the ball, they had

0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:54.640
<v Speaker 5>six games already that they attempted at least forty two

0:18:54.720 --> 0:19:02.679
<v Speaker 5>passes and twice in the fifties, no three times, okay,

0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:12.359
<v Speaker 5>fifty fifty passing attempts fifty one and fifty six.

0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.920
<v Speaker 3>And I think the coaches looked would if they look

0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:17.679
<v Speaker 3>back at it at the end of it went at

0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:18.960
<v Speaker 3>the end of the season, they look back at it

0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:21.600
<v Speaker 3>and they go, we abandoned the run to early youse

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:23.720
<v Speaker 3>games there's a certain point in the fourth quarter where

0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.680
<v Speaker 3>you have to avand right right. But and there were

0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:28.479
<v Speaker 3>third quarters of some of those games.

0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:31.359
<v Speaker 6>That's when the game changed. The third quarters, not the

0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:35.080
<v Speaker 6>fourth quarters. The third wars coming that have to halftime.

0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:35.920

<v Speaker 4>Of you going next.

0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:46.000
<v Speaker 5>We know Todd Bowles is the head coach, former Cowboy assistant.

0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:49.119
<v Speaker 5>I think we mentioned Casey Rodgers yesterday.

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:51.160
<v Speaker 4>Defensive coordinator, Skip.

0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:56.920
<v Speaker 5>Pete running back coach, been with the Cowboys. George Edwards linebackers.

0:22:56.840 --> 0:22:58.879
<v Speaker 3>Who's not only been with the Cowboys, but he was

0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:00.320
<v Speaker 3>with Mike Zimmer for a year and.

0:23:01.560 --> 0:23:05.560
<v Speaker 5>With the Cowboys twice, by the way, and then they

0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 5>had a offensive assistant backed in Jason's days, Kevin Carberry.

0:23:11.359 --> 0:23:14.280
<v Speaker 5>He's an assistant over there. Oh and by the way,

0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:23.160
<v Speaker 5>we also produced two people on Tampa Bay's website, Casey Phillips,

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:28.720
<v Speaker 5>Bill knows very well, and it wasn't with us, but

0:23:28.840 --> 0:23:32.080
<v Speaker 5>she was covering the Cowboys. Briana Dix is one of

0:23:32.160 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 5>their writers on Tampa or whatever they call it, Tampa

0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:40.600
<v Speaker 5>Bay dot com or whatever it is. I just called up.

0:23:40.840 --> 0:23:45.200
<v Speaker 5>The two of them were doing a three person kind

0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:48.919
<v Speaker 5>of talk like we're doing right now and kind of

0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:51.439
<v Speaker 5>previewing the game, and they were really good at it.

0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:54.280
<v Speaker 3>By the way, Casey Phillips has been good at it,

0:23:54.520 --> 0:23:58.000
<v Speaker 3>and you know, and she interned here with the Cowboys

0:23:58.040 --> 0:23:58.960
<v Speaker 3>for a while, and.

0:23:58.920 --> 0:24:01.120
<v Speaker 4>Maybe when she was in high school. I know when

0:24:01.119 --> 0:24:02.880
<v Speaker 4>she was in University of Missouri.

0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:06.560
<v Speaker 5>But there's the common denominator right there.

0:24:07.160 --> 0:24:08.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if it's Missouri or is it South

0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:13.480
<v Speaker 3>Lake Carrol, because she impressed me so much when she

0:24:13.560 --> 0:24:15.920
<v Speaker 3>was a student. She's about the same age as my daughter,

0:24:16.320 --> 0:24:19.400
<v Speaker 3>and she actually started a broadcast club at South Lake

0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:21.199
<v Speaker 3>Carroll when she was a high school kid, and she

0:24:21.280 --> 0:24:25.600
<v Speaker 3>played basketball. As a sophomore she made the varsity, So

0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:28.800
<v Speaker 3>it's you a good athlete also. But what was cool

0:24:30.040 --> 0:24:33.960
<v Speaker 3>kind of following her career is Okay, she was to

0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:37.520
<v Speaker 3>Missouri and then she worked for Disney and worked for

0:24:37.760 --> 0:24:39.679
<v Speaker 3>the Saint Louis Rams as well as I think the

0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:42.679
<v Speaker 3>Washington Wizards, and got an opportunity with Tampa Bay.

0:24:42.920 --> 0:24:46.080
<v Speaker 4>But it's just cool when you know it. I was

0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:48.040
<v Speaker 4>about to say kid, but when she was.

0:24:49.480 --> 0:24:52.879
<v Speaker 3>Who you saw her when she was fifteen years old

0:24:53.000 --> 0:24:56.159
<v Speaker 3>and she had aspirations to do this, you know. And

0:24:56.200 --> 0:24:59.520
<v Speaker 3>then she interned at Channel eleven. She entered probably at

0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:03.040
<v Speaker 3>about every re broadcast entity in Dallas Fort Worth, but

0:25:03.119 --> 0:25:06.639
<v Speaker 3>that was how committed she was. And then to see

0:25:06.760 --> 0:25:10.440
<v Speaker 3>her go to Tampa Bay and then they signed Tom

0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:14.320
<v Speaker 3>Brady and then she's doing interviews with Tom Brady and

0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:17.520
<v Speaker 3>Rob Gronkowski. I mean, she's the one that's hosting these

0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:24.080
<v Speaker 3>and and what was really cool, which when Tampa Bay

0:25:24.080 --> 0:25:26.320
<v Speaker 3>won the Super Bowl and she did a little selfie

0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:27.160
<v Speaker 3>from the stands.

0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:29.600
<v Speaker 4>I mean it almost just like.

0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:34.600
<v Speaker 3>I started tearing up watching what you know from yeah, right, right,

0:25:34.800 --> 0:25:37.160
<v Speaker 3>and uh so anyway, it's it's pretty cool.

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:40.800
<v Speaker 5>So we'll get to see them because she's like their

0:25:41.359 --> 0:25:45.840
<v Speaker 5>head TV person on the on their website or whatever

0:25:46.000 --> 0:25:47.000
<v Speaker 5>other shows they do.

0:25:47.160 --> 0:25:49.879
<v Speaker 6>By way, I wanted them. I think I mentioned it yesterday,

0:25:49.960 --> 0:25:54.879
<v Speaker 6>but Todd Bowles is a lover of HBCUs. He was

0:25:54.880 --> 0:25:58.840
<v Speaker 6>at Morehouse after he played his first I believe his

0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:04.320
<v Speaker 6>first coaching job was a defensive coordinator for Morehouse University

0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:09.439
<v Speaker 6>HBCU in Atlanta. Not it's not in Florida on Jacksonville

0:26:09.480 --> 0:26:13.600
<v Speaker 6>State and you've got Grambling State. After that, that's when

0:26:13.680 --> 0:26:17.040
<v Speaker 6>Doug Williams was the head coach. He had come back

0:26:17.080 --> 0:26:20.760
<v Speaker 6>for a belief his second stint at Grambling and he

0:26:20.920 --> 0:26:23.320
<v Speaker 6>bought tied bowls with him. If I'm not mistaken, that

0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:27.119
<v Speaker 6>entire coaching staff was pretty famous, guys, you know, because

0:26:27.440 --> 0:26:30.000
<v Speaker 6>Doug was relying back on his boys back when he played.

0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:32.760
<v Speaker 6>So yeah, and then after that, that's when he went

0:26:32.760 --> 0:26:36.160
<v Speaker 6>to the Jets in two thousand, after he left Grambling State.

0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:39.159
<v Speaker 6>That for those two years in nineteen ninety eight to

0:26:39.240 --> 0:26:40.080
<v Speaker 6>nineteen ninety.

0:26:39.880 --> 0:26:43.560
<v Speaker 3>Nine, And you're familiar with his son, right, No, Troy

0:26:43.640 --> 0:26:48.040
<v Speaker 3>Bowles highly recruited linebacker and he was at Georgia and

0:26:48.040 --> 0:26:49.880
<v Speaker 3>he's in the transfer portal right now.

0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:57.320
<v Speaker 4>So what position? Linebacker? Oh? Okay, of course stud stud linebacker.

0:26:58.240 --> 0:26:59.960
<v Speaker 5>So we got ties with ten.

0:27:05.280 --> 0:27:10.040
<v Speaker 3>When you look at their defense, we mentioned Lavonte David,

0:27:10.040 --> 0:27:14.800
<v Speaker 3>but their two defensive tackles, Vida Veya and Elijah Cantsey,

0:27:14.920 --> 0:27:17.840
<v Speaker 3>if they they have combined for twelve sacks, they each

0:27:17.880 --> 0:27:21.480
<v Speaker 3>have six sacks. Not so not only defending the run,

0:27:21.680 --> 0:27:24.480
<v Speaker 3>but getting to the quarterback. And with what the Cowboys

0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:27.200
<v Speaker 3>have going on with injuries in the interior of their

0:27:27.200 --> 0:27:30.440
<v Speaker 3>offensive line, can be a little bit of a test there.

0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:33.680
<v Speaker 5>As a matter of fact, this is a side note there.

0:27:35.200 --> 0:27:39.640
<v Speaker 5>So I think at the time it was asked, brock

0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:44.040
<v Speaker 5>Kauffman was considered the starting center because they didn't know

0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:47.119
<v Speaker 5>if BB was going to get back, So they asked him,

0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:51.639
<v Speaker 5>you know, has he studied vide Vea and you know,

0:27:51.680 --> 0:27:54.440
<v Speaker 5>does he know much about him? And he said, yeah,

0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:56.679
<v Speaker 5>I was talking to beattish about it, and he was

0:27:56.880 --> 0:27:58.480
<v Speaker 5>clueing me in on some stuff.

0:27:58.720 --> 0:28:00.879
<v Speaker 6>So how about that.

0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:03.800
<v Speaker 5>He was using his sources to be able to scout

0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:05.720
<v Speaker 5>having to go up against that.

0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:09.760
<v Speaker 6>Against that exactly right? And It's not just how he looks,

0:28:09.760 --> 0:28:13.560
<v Speaker 6>it's how he plays. This young man is very he

0:28:13.680 --> 0:28:17.040
<v Speaker 6>got high motor.

0:28:17.280 --> 0:28:20.520
<v Speaker 5>You better double team him.

0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:21.520
<v Speaker 6>And see, that's the kind of thing that if I'm

0:28:21.560 --> 0:28:24.840
<v Speaker 6>the offensive line and I'm going up against him, you know,

0:28:24.880 --> 0:28:27.600
<v Speaker 6>you gotta feel some type of a challenge. I mean

0:28:27.640 --> 0:28:30.320
<v Speaker 6>not I don't mean just going in there like, oh lord,

0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:33.240
<v Speaker 6>I'm gonna be right. No, you gotta go in there thinking, man,

0:28:33.280 --> 0:28:35.600
<v Speaker 6>this is my chance. I gotta show these guys what

0:28:35.640 --> 0:28:38.200
<v Speaker 6>I could do. No, forget not necessarily him. I gotta

0:28:38.200 --> 0:28:40.560
<v Speaker 6>show my teammates they can depend on me to play

0:28:40.600 --> 0:28:42.840
<v Speaker 6>against a guy like that. I may not be the

0:28:42.880 --> 0:28:46.480
<v Speaker 6>best guy out here at that position, but I'm going

0:28:46.560 --> 0:28:48.640
<v Speaker 6>to show you can depend on me. I mean, at

0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:50.880
<v Speaker 6>one point you have. And that's what we've been seeing.

0:28:51.120 --> 0:28:55.040
<v Speaker 6>We've been seeing people that you can depend on. We've

0:28:55.080 --> 0:28:57.960
<v Speaker 6>been seeing dependability. I want that to continue.

0:28:57.640 --> 0:29:00.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, and not just your teammates now, but how about

0:29:00.840 --> 0:29:05.680
<v Speaker 3>showing this organization going forward, right because there's a you know,

0:29:05.800 --> 0:29:08.480
<v Speaker 3>we'll see what happens with Zach Martin. He's not obviously

0:29:08.520 --> 0:29:11.640
<v Speaker 3>he's not playing forever and he's likely going to retire,

0:29:12.120 --> 0:29:14.480
<v Speaker 3>and so he's not in the contract for next year,

0:29:14.480 --> 0:29:17.080
<v Speaker 3>and so they've got decisions to make on their offensive line.

0:29:17.120 --> 0:29:21.000
<v Speaker 3>There's there's openings at the end on that offensive line.

0:29:20.760 --> 0:29:23.160
<v Speaker 2>And the end has been fixed up.

0:29:23.440 --> 0:29:26.440
<v Speaker 6>They've been putting a little little paint on it because

0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:29.120
<v Speaker 6>we have been really successful at it. So they I'm

0:29:29.120 --> 0:29:32.640
<v Speaker 6>hoping they go into the game thinking, we're not afraid

0:29:32.680 --> 0:29:34.720
<v Speaker 6>of you guys. You know, we're going to challenge you

0:29:34.760 --> 0:29:37.000
<v Speaker 6>because they have people have been running on Tampa. It's

0:29:37.000 --> 0:29:40.320
<v Speaker 6>not like they've been invincible, and they've been scoring on

0:29:40.400 --> 0:29:43.480
<v Speaker 6>Like I said, they lost four straight. That had something

0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:45.440
<v Speaker 6>to do with the defense as well. So we got

0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:48.600
<v Speaker 6>to find those those those those cracks in the sidewalk.

0:29:48.720 --> 0:29:55.560
<v Speaker 5>He's three forty seven three, and I don't think it's

0:29:55.680 --> 0:29:56.720
<v Speaker 5>like big sloppy.

0:29:57.360 --> 0:29:57.600
<v Speaker 4>Wait.

0:29:58.800 --> 0:30:04.320
<v Speaker 5>So to me, some owing weight, Yeah, probably stressed, Yeah,

0:30:04.680 --> 0:30:09.960
<v Speaker 5>I'm talking about yeah, and uh, to me, the offensive

0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:14.160
<v Speaker 5>coordinators got to figure out we need him going sideways

0:30:14.280 --> 0:30:15.600
<v Speaker 5>and get the ball out.

0:30:15.800 --> 0:30:18.440
<v Speaker 6>If nothing else, you just want to make sure that

0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:22.360
<v Speaker 6>he is handled one or two guys. You don't have

0:30:22.440 --> 0:30:25.120
<v Speaker 6>to blow them off the line necessarily them, just shield

0:30:25.120 --> 0:30:27.360
<v Speaker 6>them off. You know, let's hit them with some proper

0:30:27.400 --> 0:30:30.280
<v Speaker 6>plays that can give our offensive line of the chance.

0:30:30.640 --> 0:30:32.000
<v Speaker 6>You know, they don't have to be to where you

0:30:32.080 --> 0:30:34.800
<v Speaker 6>have to hold a block that long all the time.

0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:37.560
<v Speaker 6>There are schemes to where you can and I know

0:30:37.640 --> 0:30:39.840
<v Speaker 6>Nate Newton knows I'm talking about to where you can

0:30:39.960 --> 0:30:42.360
<v Speaker 6>just shield the guy off and the running back's gone,

0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:45.040
<v Speaker 6>don't I don't see him chasing too many people down

0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:45.600
<v Speaker 6>from behind.

0:30:45.720 --> 0:30:49.920
<v Speaker 5>He's got nine tackles for losses, but he has six

0:30:50.080 --> 0:30:53.640
<v Speaker 5>sacks and ten quarterbacks getting in the backfield.

0:30:53.880 --> 0:30:57.640
<v Speaker 3>Right then, the other guy who's only I think he's

0:30:57.680 --> 0:31:00.000
<v Speaker 3>only played nine games because he was injured earlier. He's

0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:02.120
<v Speaker 3>got six sacks in nine games and he was a

0:31:02.160 --> 0:31:03.600
<v Speaker 3>first round draft pick last year.

0:31:04.680 --> 0:31:07.840
<v Speaker 6>So this should be something that they should flish. Let's

0:31:07.840 --> 0:31:10.160
<v Speaker 6>see what we got, Let's see what we are. Yeah,

0:31:10.280 --> 0:31:12.320
<v Speaker 6>well that's what I talked about yesterday. Let's see what

0:31:12.440 --> 0:31:12.719
<v Speaker 6>we are.

0:31:13.280 --> 0:31:18.560
<v Speaker 5>And the fact that those guys have sacks in the middle,

0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:19.880
<v Speaker 5>that's why you.

0:31:19.840 --> 0:31:21.720
<v Speaker 6>Gots extremely unusual, right.

0:31:21.960 --> 0:31:22.880
<v Speaker 5>You got to make sure.

0:31:23.160 --> 0:31:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Run getting off inside.

0:31:25.560 --> 0:31:28.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, make them be run conscious first.

0:31:29.120 --> 0:31:31.560
<v Speaker 3>One other interesting thing that I'll be looking at on

0:31:31.640 --> 0:31:33.920
<v Speaker 3>Sunday night is so when you look at the center

0:31:34.160 --> 0:31:37.280
<v Speaker 3>for Tampa Bay Graham Barton. He was a first round

0:31:37.320 --> 0:31:39.680
<v Speaker 3>draft pick last year, went number twenty six overall, and

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:41.920
<v Speaker 3>I know he was on the Cowboys radar and other

0:31:41.920 --> 0:31:44.520
<v Speaker 3>team's radar dur and at that point in the draft,

0:31:44.560 --> 0:31:48.680
<v Speaker 3>and the Cowboys had a decision to make on Okay,

0:31:49.920 --> 0:31:51.760
<v Speaker 3>do we pull a trigger on a player like that

0:31:51.880 --> 0:31:54.800
<v Speaker 3>and at a position like that, or do we trade down?

0:31:55.400 --> 0:31:57.840
<v Speaker 3>And as it turns out, the Cowboys traded down, and

0:31:57.840 --> 0:32:02.080
<v Speaker 3>then they got Tyler Goyton or left tack five picks later,

0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:05.160
<v Speaker 3>and they wound up with an extra third round pick

0:32:05.280 --> 0:32:08.240
<v Speaker 3>getting a center in Cooper b a center of slash guard.

0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:10.600
<v Speaker 3>We'll see where he winds up eventually in his career,

0:32:11.080 --> 0:32:13.680
<v Speaker 3>but they get Cooper BB there and so but Graham

0:32:13.680 --> 0:32:15.960
<v Speaker 3>Barton's doing a really good job for them as a

0:32:16.000 --> 0:32:20.600
<v Speaker 3>starting rookie center. And their offensive line is they have

0:32:20.720 --> 0:32:23.280
<v Speaker 3>they've shorted up here in the last couple of years.

0:32:23.280 --> 0:32:25.920
<v Speaker 3>They spent a second round pick on their right guard,

0:32:25.960 --> 0:32:29.920
<v Speaker 3>Cody Mock last year, and they got another first rounder starts.

0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:32.479
<v Speaker 4>At left tackle, Test whorfs in behind them.

0:32:32.560 --> 0:32:34.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so they got they start two first rounders and

0:32:34.880 --> 0:32:36.960
<v Speaker 3>two second rounders on their offensive line.

0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:39.000
<v Speaker 2>So they don't mind going at them.

0:32:39.120 --> 0:32:39.440
<v Speaker 5>M hm.

0:32:40.880 --> 0:32:43.560
<v Speaker 3>So, and that's what the Cowboys have been trying to

0:32:43.560 --> 0:32:45.880
<v Speaker 3>do with their offensive line in the draft here in

0:32:45.920 --> 0:32:49.600
<v Speaker 3>the last few years, with a second rounder or rather

0:32:49.640 --> 0:32:52.479
<v Speaker 3>a first rounder in twenty twenty two and Tyler Smith

0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:56.240
<v Speaker 3>first rounder this year who hasn't been ready yet but

0:32:56.360 --> 0:32:58.760
<v Speaker 3>we'll see where how he progresses.

0:32:58.480 --> 0:33:01.800
<v Speaker 5>And a third rounder. So yeah, yeah, they addressed it. Oh,

0:33:01.840 --> 0:33:04.040
<v Speaker 5>by the way, before we go to break, they also,

0:33:04.240 --> 0:33:08.800
<v Speaker 5>by the way, have seven starters listed as not practicing yesterday,

0:33:09.520 --> 0:33:13.440
<v Speaker 5>so they've got some issues too. But yes, this time

0:33:13.520 --> 0:33:17.720
<v Speaker 5>of the year, it's like for everybody in the league.

0:33:17.720 --> 0:33:19.120
<v Speaker 4>It's not just the Cowboys that.

0:33:19.720 --> 0:33:22.880
<v Speaker 5>It's it's loading practice, load manager.

0:33:24.640 --> 0:33:25.840
<v Speaker 4>We're deep into the season.

0:33:25.880 --> 0:33:28.680
<v Speaker 3>This is week sixteen, all right, And speaking of that,

0:33:28.760 --> 0:33:32.560
<v Speaker 3>I need to work on my load management. I just

0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:34.200
<v Speaker 3>don't feel like I think I need to take a

0:33:34.480 --> 0:33:37.959
<v Speaker 3>can finish those last ten minutes last and now if

0:33:37.960 --> 0:33:40.400
<v Speaker 3>we were doing some sort of n season tournament or

0:33:40.440 --> 0:33:41.320
<v Speaker 3>we had some.

0:33:42.040 --> 0:33:44.680
<v Speaker 5>Money evolved more money than I might.

0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:46.560
<v Speaker 4>I might stick around and play the fourth quarter.

0:33:48.480 --> 0:33:51.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm thinking, you know, I probably didn't save myself because

0:33:51.440 --> 0:33:53.680
<v Speaker 3>we're going to be back here at ten am tomorrow.

0:33:53.320 --> 0:33:54.400
<v Speaker 5>Right, that's right.

0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:55.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm right.

0:33:55.320 --> 0:33:57.560
<v Speaker 3>So I'm going to bail out and rest up for

0:33:57.600 --> 0:34:00.720
<v Speaker 3>tomorrow's ten am show, and you two take it the rest.

0:34:00.880 --> 0:34:02.640

0:37:41.600 --> 0:37:44.680
<v Speaker 6>get but about fifty percent. Now is he getting more

0:37:48.920 --> 0:37:51.680
<v Speaker 6>And those two sacks in the against Atlanta.

0:37:51.440 --> 0:37:55.200
<v Speaker 5>He got two sacks against Atlanta, had one sack. He

0:37:55.280 --> 0:37:58.799
<v Speaker 5>only had one tackle in this game Carolina, but he

0:37:58.840 --> 0:38:01.640
<v Speaker 5>had a sack, a tackle for a loss, and two

0:38:01.719 --> 0:38:05.400
<v Speaker 5>quarterback hits he had He played forty four percent of

0:38:05.440 --> 0:38:09.000
<v Speaker 5>the snaps. Yeah, but you knew he was out there, yes.

0:38:08.960 --> 0:38:11.319
<v Speaker 6>And then you know he's one of those guys he

0:38:11.400 --> 0:38:14.360
<v Speaker 6>kind of held it down until Michael came back. Yes,

0:38:14.440 --> 0:38:16.760
<v Speaker 6>you know, and we I mean those those two sacks

0:38:16.800 --> 0:38:19.640
<v Speaker 6>against the Falcons, that kind of let people know that,

0:38:20.120 --> 0:38:22.320
<v Speaker 6>you know, practice s gud practice squad players.

0:38:22.760 --> 0:38:24.640
<v Speaker 2>They're not just practice squad players.

0:38:24.400 --> 0:38:24.879
<v Speaker 7>All the time.

0:38:25.040 --> 0:38:27.120
<v Speaker 5>And I think the other guy.

0:38:27.000 --> 0:38:29.520
<v Speaker 6>They're not thinking like practice squad right right right, that's

0:38:29.520 --> 0:38:30.040
<v Speaker 6>what you want.

0:38:30.200 --> 0:38:34.960
<v Speaker 5>And he you know, no no off season, no training camp,

0:38:35.280 --> 0:38:38.319
<v Speaker 5>you know, no ramp up. Basically his ramp up was

0:38:38.719 --> 0:38:41.840
<v Speaker 5>you know, being on the on the team, getting a

0:38:41.920 --> 0:38:42.920
<v Speaker 5>chance to practice.

0:38:43.000 --> 0:38:46.400
<v Speaker 6>So that's what I was always saying about a practice player.

0:38:46.719 --> 0:38:49.520
<v Speaker 6>It is true you said many times when a guy

0:38:49.600 --> 0:38:53.000
<v Speaker 6>messes up, that's why he's a practice squad player.

0:38:53.160 --> 0:38:55.680
<v Speaker 2>I get that. That is that is that is that

0:38:55.800 --> 0:38:56.400
<v Speaker 2>is viable.

0:38:56.760 --> 0:38:59.600
<v Speaker 6>But when you start talking about players that really need

0:39:00.120 --> 0:39:03.120
<v Speaker 6>to make a difference on the team, and we everyone

0:39:03.200 --> 0:39:05.719
<v Speaker 6>we bring in, they're not going to be stars, but

0:39:05.760 --> 0:39:07.480
<v Speaker 6>everyone we bring in are not going to play like

0:39:07.520 --> 0:39:08.760
<v Speaker 6>practice squad players.

0:39:09.080 --> 0:39:10.880
<v Speaker 2>And he's one of those guys, you know.

0:39:11.600 --> 0:39:14.840
<v Speaker 6>I tell they asked me one time to send my

0:39:14.960 --> 0:39:18.399
<v Speaker 6>Grambling State boys a message, you know, and they were

0:39:18.400 --> 0:39:21.960
<v Speaker 6>asking all the alumni to send in messages to them

0:39:22.000 --> 0:39:24.399
<v Speaker 6>to motivate them during the season. And the one thing

0:39:24.480 --> 0:39:27.360
<v Speaker 6>I told him is don't let somebody else tell your story.

0:39:27.840 --> 0:39:30.520
<v Speaker 6>Don't let somebody tell you how good you are. You know,

0:39:31.440 --> 0:39:33.520
<v Speaker 6>we all went through it. Somebody probably told you you

0:39:33.560 --> 0:39:34.440
<v Speaker 6>can't write.

0:39:34.600 --> 0:39:37.080
<v Speaker 2>They did. And so now here you are.

0:39:37.239 --> 0:39:40.200
<v Speaker 6>So yeah, and Grambling, I'm sorry, not just Grammy, but

0:39:40.239 --> 0:39:43.680
<v Speaker 6>the Dallas Cowboys has always been a team that has

0:39:43.760 --> 0:39:48.480
<v Speaker 6>had over achievers. We are known for that, Okay, I mean,

0:39:48.520 --> 0:39:51.800
<v Speaker 6>so that's the culture here. So that's what I'm looking

0:39:51.800 --> 0:39:55.080
<v Speaker 6>forward to here. Somebody like laws and show me that

0:39:55.160 --> 0:39:57.000
<v Speaker 6>I am better than my narrative.

0:39:57.280 --> 0:40:00.000
<v Speaker 5>And show that I can play like I did it

0:40:00.000 --> 0:40:03.160
<v Speaker 5>a couple of years ago before things went south when

0:40:03.239 --> 0:40:07.160
<v Speaker 5>he was with the Jets because the previous year to

0:40:07.280 --> 0:40:11.000
<v Speaker 5>that he was a big time player. They paid him.

0:40:11.520 --> 0:40:13.839
<v Speaker 6>And then I'm not I really look forward to him

0:40:13.880 --> 0:40:16.960
<v Speaker 6>doing I really look forward to him doing more with us, right,

0:40:17.000 --> 0:40:20.279
<v Speaker 6>I'm talking about No. One tackle games. Now, that was

0:40:20.320 --> 0:40:25.399
<v Speaker 6>a weird game Sunday where it was extremely balanced as

0:40:25.440 --> 0:40:29.200
<v Speaker 6>far as our defensive attack. You have a bunch of people,

0:40:29.280 --> 0:40:30.480
<v Speaker 6>a lot of tackles.

0:40:30.120 --> 0:40:32.520
<v Speaker 5>And I think what you what they made a priority

0:40:32.680 --> 0:40:34.800
<v Speaker 5>is to make sure this dude stays in the pocket.

0:40:34.880 --> 0:40:36.800
<v Speaker 5>Yes he got out the one time.

0:40:36.880 --> 0:40:40.800
<v Speaker 6>But they even stopped the Tuba. Yeah, they stopped Cuba

0:40:40.880 --> 0:40:43.120
<v Speaker 6>from getting his hundred yards if I'm not mistaken. And

0:40:43.239 --> 0:40:46.200
<v Speaker 6>this is a guy that was doing running very well

0:40:46.560 --> 0:40:49.120
<v Speaker 6>before that game, and we controlled him.

0:40:49.480 --> 0:40:52.640
<v Speaker 5>And I think people need to also understand that Tampa Bay,

0:40:53.760 --> 0:40:58.799
<v Speaker 5>while they're in first place in the NFC South, they

0:40:58.840 --> 0:41:02.440
<v Speaker 5>only got a one game in Atlanta on Atlanta and

0:41:03.040 --> 0:41:07.960
<v Speaker 5>they realize that they got beat by Atlanta twice. So

0:41:08.040 --> 0:41:10.759
<v Speaker 5>if there's any any ties they're out.

0:41:10.960 --> 0:41:13.720
<v Speaker 6>They're a totally different team now, Isn't that crazy? Yeah,

0:41:13.880 --> 0:41:15.520
<v Speaker 6>both teams are totally different teams now.

0:41:15.640 --> 0:41:19.160
<v Speaker 5>So they've got to they've got to maintain a one

0:41:19.239 --> 0:41:23.400
<v Speaker 5>game lead on the Falcons, otherwise they're in trouble. So

0:41:23.440 --> 0:41:27.280
<v Speaker 5>they're somewhat of a desperate team that you know, depending

0:41:27.320 --> 0:41:30.560
<v Speaker 5>on what Atlanta keeps doing, they got to keep winning two.

0:41:30.920 --> 0:41:32.279
<v Speaker 5>They almost need to win out.

0:41:32.520 --> 0:41:33.640
<v Speaker 2>We have seen.

0:41:34.920 --> 0:41:41.640
<v Speaker 6>Games where that narrative is facing another team coming into

0:41:41.680 --> 0:41:45.040
<v Speaker 6>the stadium, right at and T Stadium, and we've played

0:41:45.160 --> 0:41:48.200
<v Speaker 6>like that, meaning we put the pressure on them from

0:41:48.440 --> 0:41:53.160
<v Speaker 6>play one. We haven't really done that this year, you

0:41:53.160 --> 0:41:56.000
<v Speaker 6>know at home right, we really haven't done that this year.

0:41:56.000 --> 0:41:58.240
<v Speaker 6>There are games we've come out in the past, many

0:41:58.320 --> 0:42:01.320
<v Speaker 6>games where we are bringing it to them right away.

0:42:01.760 --> 0:42:04.359
<v Speaker 6>We score on the first drive, not field goals. We're

0:42:04.360 --> 0:42:07.680
<v Speaker 6>talking touchdowns. You know, we got the sacks, we're doing

0:42:07.719 --> 0:42:11.200
<v Speaker 6>all of that. We can play like that in this game.

0:42:11.880 --> 0:42:12.319
<v Speaker 2>We can't.

0:42:12.560 --> 0:42:15.200
<v Speaker 6>We can get back to that because we used to

0:42:15.200 --> 0:42:17.200
<v Speaker 6>do that all the time. And if we do that,

0:42:17.320 --> 0:42:21.080
<v Speaker 6>I think we could intimidate these guys because they're coming here.

0:42:21.200 --> 0:42:23.799
<v Speaker 6>Put the put the pressure, put the pressure that coming here,

0:42:23.840 --> 0:42:24.680
<v Speaker 6>we're not going there.

0:42:24.800 --> 0:42:27.440
<v Speaker 2>They're coming here, and we need to make them feel that.

0:42:27.960 --> 0:42:29.680
<v Speaker 6>You know, I know, I don't know what the crowd

0:42:29.800 --> 0:42:32.600
<v Speaker 6>is going to look like, but I don't need a big, big.

0:42:32.400 --> 0:42:37.480
<v Speaker 5>Crowded a bunch of rent watch it right. The other thing?

0:42:37.800 --> 0:42:43.080
<v Speaker 5>Uh so, okay, you win the toss when you're doing

0:42:43.520 --> 0:42:45.080
<v Speaker 5>I'm taking the ball, taking the ball.

0:42:45.080 --> 0:42:48.200
<v Speaker 6>I'm taking the ball because and I'm running it. I'm

0:42:48.239 --> 0:42:51.000
<v Speaker 6>gonna run it down their throats. And every time we

0:42:51.040 --> 0:42:53.480
<v Speaker 6>gain my my crowd is going to be going crazy, right,

0:42:53.680 --> 0:42:56.319
<v Speaker 6>And that's the whole thing. Also, this, this crowd needs

0:42:56.320 --> 0:42:59.000
<v Speaker 6>to understand this is a different culture we have here now.

0:42:59.480 --> 0:43:00.760
<v Speaker 2>You know, we don't have the dacks.

0:43:00.840 --> 0:43:04.000
<v Speaker 6>You know, we don't have you know, the fancy wide

0:43:04.000 --> 0:43:06.320
<v Speaker 6>receivers running all over the place. We got just CD

0:43:06.480 --> 0:43:10.160
<v Speaker 6>doing this thing, working hard. That's what we've turned into

0:43:10.239 --> 0:43:12.279
<v Speaker 6>right now. We are not the team that we were

0:43:12.360 --> 0:43:15.360
<v Speaker 6>last year. I don't mean that we don't have the talent,

0:43:15.440 --> 0:43:17.239
<v Speaker 6>but we certainly don't have the same game plan.

0:43:17.480 --> 0:43:19.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, because a lot of a lot of times I hear, well,

0:43:19.880 --> 0:43:22.080
<v Speaker 5>this team was twelve and five last year. Well this

0:43:22.120 --> 0:43:22.919
<v Speaker 5>ain't that team.

0:43:22.960 --> 0:43:23.839
<v Speaker 2>This ain't that team.

0:43:23.880 --> 0:43:25.919
<v Speaker 6>We are totally different, right, And they were fussing about

0:43:25.960 --> 0:43:28.600
<v Speaker 6>us being twelve and five last two three years anyway,

0:43:28.840 --> 0:43:30.959
<v Speaker 6>So don't worry about what the record is right now.

0:43:31.120 --> 0:43:32.680
<v Speaker 2>We just need to make the damn playoffs.

0:43:32.680 --> 0:43:35.520
<v Speaker 5>Would you take twelve and will take twelve and five

0:43:35.680 --> 0:43:36.160
<v Speaker 5>right now?

0:43:37.160 --> 0:43:39.719
<v Speaker 6>And that's I'm sure a lot of those people that

0:43:39.760 --> 0:43:42.120
<v Speaker 6>were complaining it looks good to them too.

0:43:42.200 --> 0:43:43.840
<v Speaker 2>It looks a lot better than it was used to do.

0:43:44.040 --> 0:43:47.000
<v Speaker 5>So everybody was like, oh, this is a Sunday night game.

0:43:47.040 --> 0:43:49.520
<v Speaker 5>They're gonna change, you know, they'll change. This is a

0:43:49.560 --> 0:43:51.600
<v Speaker 5>big game for both teams, right.

0:43:51.880 --> 0:43:54.919
<v Speaker 6>Just think about that Sunday night. Put the pressure on them,

0:43:55.600 --> 0:43:58.839
<v Speaker 6>Put the pressure on them, show them a nationwide television So.

0:43:59.520 --> 0:44:03.319
<v Speaker 5>I think it was NFL network. They figured out, you know,

0:44:03.360 --> 0:44:08.040
<v Speaker 5>how they do with the percentage chances and going to

0:44:09.120 --> 0:44:15.200
<v Speaker 5>the playoffs, right, and obviously like Detroit, Minnesota, Green Bay,

0:44:15.320 --> 0:44:17.680
<v Speaker 5>they're all either one hundred percent they're going to go

0:44:17.719 --> 0:44:22.239
<v Speaker 5>to the playoffs, Philadelphia or somewhere in the nineties. Then

0:44:22.280 --> 0:44:27.440
<v Speaker 5>you get down to the bottom. It was, uh it

0:44:27.520 --> 0:44:34.640
<v Speaker 5>was the Cowboys, the Saints, yeah, and San Francisco one percent.

0:44:34.920 --> 0:44:37.560
<v Speaker 5>Damn one chance.

0:44:39.280 --> 0:44:41.520
<v Speaker 6>My business part is a forty n oother fan. We

0:44:41.560 --> 0:44:43.920
<v Speaker 6>don't even hardly talk this yet because he ain't doing

0:44:43.960 --> 0:44:47.520
<v Speaker 6>the damn thing he's usually calling me talking trash.

0:44:47.840 --> 0:44:50.400
<v Speaker 2>You know what's with the Cowboys. I don't hear from

0:44:50.480 --> 0:44:50.839
<v Speaker 2>him anymore.

0:44:50.880 --> 0:44:54.480
<v Speaker 5>And I can't believe that New Orleans hasn't been eliminated already.

0:44:54.520 --> 0:44:55.399
<v Speaker 5>They're five and nine.

0:44:55.480 --> 0:44:59.319
<v Speaker 6>Well that that that doesn't it doesn't make us look good, yeah,

0:44:59.360 --> 0:45:00.680
<v Speaker 6>because like like right.

0:45:01.080 --> 0:45:05.560
<v Speaker 5>Above them, but it's all one percent. Oh that's pretty sobering,

0:45:05.719 --> 0:45:09.680
<v Speaker 5>right all right, Well, that's it for mix shots on

0:45:09.840 --> 0:45:14.360
<v Speaker 5>this Thursday. We'll be back again and remember ten o'clock
