Speaker 5: Are going to start this right or no?
Speaker 4: What are you more excited about Savannah.
Speaker 8: You know, I'm very excited for our Dallas Sport, Dallas
Speaker 8: Stars and Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 4: And by the way, it's been we last week we
Speaker 4: did a Wednesday morning show and so that was prior
Speaker 4: to the big announcement and the we've got the This
Speaker 4: is our first schedule release, a segment on mix shots.
Speaker 4: The schedule has been released in the Mavericks play on
Speaker 4: the road in game one on Wednesday, the Stars are
Speaker 4: home on Thursday, Mavericks on the road Friday, Stars at
Speaker 4: home Saturday. We got fourteen days straight of conference finals.
Speaker 5: That's our schedule release.
Speaker 8: Nobody here will be sleeping because we will all be
Speaker 8: watching sports.
Speaker 5: But at least at least all the games are starting
Speaker 5: like seven o'clock.
Speaker 4: Yep, seven or seven, right, that's right.
Speaker 2: How many times you guys fall asleep during the Stars game?
Speaker 2: Not bi, I was working.
Speaker 5: I worked. I speak for yourself.
Speaker 4: I was working until ten forty five, drove home and
Speaker 4: almost fell asleep driving home, right, but then stayed up
Speaker 4: until one am. And that's when the winning goal was
Speaker 4: scored Dallas time.
Speaker 6: That's when our group started going out all right.
Speaker 5: Not only did I.
Speaker 7: Got the black guy was the first one to sit down,
Speaker 7: mister hockey saying, man, I know better than you guys.
Speaker 7: This is crazy.
Speaker 5: Not only did the game end at one and I
Speaker 5: did not fall asleep, I couldn't go sleep until two.
Speaker 2: That was crazy fact.
Speaker 7: I mean, I thought the shot was amazing, but was
Speaker 7: that Did he deliberately pass?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I know what you mean. Did he deliberately?
Speaker 5: Kind eyed? And said?
Speaker 2: How did you how did he get his stick in
Speaker 2: there to flip it like that?
Speaker 7: Because you had you had two guys of the opposition,
Speaker 7: they were all in there, and somehow he was able
Speaker 7: to get his stick in there and get that out.
Speaker 8: Well, it was tough in that first overtime watching that
Speaker 8: play where I know, I know it was tough.
Speaker 6: Mason March he had it and then they did not.
Speaker 5: It's a good thing it was hot enough to have
Speaker 5: the air conditioning on, because if the windows.
Speaker 4: Were open, I would have woke up the neighborhood yelling
Speaker 4: at your TV.
Speaker 5: Especially with two words I was using that you're not
Speaker 5: supposed to use whatsoever.
Speaker 2: Two words put together as one.
Speaker 5: Yes, it was like and I just knew, I just
Speaker 5: knew they would not have the nerve to do what
Speaker 5: was right and they didn't.
Speaker 4: Because that would have decided the series on the losing
Speaker 4: team's home eyes.
Speaker 5: Sort of like the MAVs, right, did you have the
Speaker 5: nerve to hold the call at the end with you
Speaker 5: and a half seconds left? And Marchman was right, he
Speaker 5: goes they didn't want to end the series or the
Speaker 5: game on a reverse.
Speaker 4: You say before that, the explanation that he got from
Speaker 4: the that was good.
Speaker 5: Old wild because I'm yellow, he's not in the blue
Speaker 5: and the goalies outside the crease.
Speaker 4: Cool explanation ever, soon that he got from the official
Speaker 4: was that Matt Duchhane his skates weren't in the crease,
Speaker 4: but his dairy air was in the crease.
Speaker 5: He used different he used a different word. That's like,
Speaker 5: that's like, that's like the calling.
Speaker 9: But you know, in the booth, only the goalie, the
Speaker 9: only goalie in the booth was the only one that
Speaker 9: agreed with the call.
Speaker 5: Of course, of course I know his name, and I
Speaker 5: was yelling at him.
Speaker 2: He was talking, but he would not give in no
Speaker 2: matter how much they went over.
Speaker 8: But then to have Matt Dushane go back and score
Speaker 8: the game winning goal, that was such a full circle
Speaker 8: moment based off of that first.
Speaker 4: Not only based on that, but based on his history too.
Speaker 4: He was their first round draft pick of the Colorado
Speaker 4: Avalanche as an eighteen year old fifteen years ago, went
Speaker 4: straight to the National Hockey League at age eighteen, and
Speaker 4: so he had played a decade with Colorado. He's thirty
Speaker 4: three now. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 5: What, I don't think I ever heard an interview with
Speaker 5: him before. He's a pretty sharp guy. Yes, I was impressed.
Speaker 4: Most of those hockey guys are pretty sharp guys. It's
Speaker 4: just they don't have very many teeth when they're gone.
Speaker 8: Tah, that was such a good interview, so good. But no,
Speaker 8: it's it's fun to see the Stars beat the Vegas
Speaker 8: Golden Knights in round one.
Speaker 6: The defending chance has already beaten.
Speaker 5: They've already made beat the Chiefs.
Speaker 4: They beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the first round,
Speaker 4: they beat the San Francisco forty nine ers in the
Speaker 4: second round, and now it's easy from here on out.
Speaker 8: Exactly to night's game of seven, so we'll know who
Speaker 8: the decider is.
Speaker 4: That's why they played the winner of to night's game
Speaker 4: seven between Vancouver and Edmondton. And uh, since they are
Speaker 4: the Stars, and since the logo for the Cowboys is
Speaker 4: the Star. We could talk about the stars there for
Speaker 4: a little bit, right.
Speaker 5: Exactly, well, and think about it. The success the teams
Speaker 5: have had in this town since last year's cycle, right,
Speaker 5: not ultimate success the Rangers. Did you know where Mickey's
Speaker 5: going with you?
Speaker 4: I always won a division, you know, Okay, Rangers won.
Speaker 5: It all the Scholars and Wings were in the playoffs
Speaker 5: for the first time.
Speaker 4: You go back further than that, the Arlington Renegade.
Speaker 2: That's right, we all forget only one that remembers that.
Speaker 5: Because Bob Stoops.
Speaker 4: Is the coach.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to say what his record is this year.
Speaker 5: It's always back to Oklahoma.
Speaker 2: Always back to Oklahoma.
Speaker 4: Wait, Wade Phillips won another one yesterday, beat Bob Stoops.
Speaker 4: The Renegades fell to one in seven by the way.
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, So I want to real quick, and I
Speaker 8: know we'll get in to the schedule here in a
Speaker 8: little bit, but I did want to talk about another
Speaker 8: event that happened last week, and it was Dak's Foundation
Speaker 8: Faith Fight Finish.
Speaker 6: I have a really cool story from it.
Speaker 8: So I know I talk to you guys about our
Speaker 8: International Fan of the Year. He came out to the
Speaker 8: draft in Detroit.
Speaker 6: He did a pick announcement for US.
Speaker 8: He's a big advocate for mental health and had his
Speaker 8: own kind of struggles with his family and dealing with loss,
Speaker 8: and similar to Dak. When Eduardo did that pick announcement,
Speaker 8: Dak's brother had actually sent him Dak a clip of
Speaker 8: the pick, and Dak and Tad Prescott they invited Eduardo
Speaker 8: to the Foundation gala last Friday night, and so Eduardo
Speaker 8: got to meet Dak in person, and I thought that
Speaker 8: was just the coolest story. A guy from Mexico who
Speaker 8: he lost his dad and just is the biggest Cowboys
Speaker 8: fan and just loves Dak gets to be in the
Speaker 8: room with his hero and meet him, and Dak invited
Speaker 8: him there.
Speaker 6: So I thought that was just a really cool story
Speaker 6: to me.
Speaker 7: And the cause itself, the cause itself was benefit was
Speaker 7: a benefit of that exactly because that just lets you
Speaker 7: know the guys that run their organization, they're on top
Speaker 7: of it.
Speaker 2: You don't miss moments like that.
Speaker 7: And for them to understand how important this to have
Speaker 7: him there, I thought that was pretty good.
Speaker 5: And then he pointed then he pointed out that because
Speaker 5: of Dak, he kind of saved his life because he
Speaker 5: was so depressed after the deaths and his family, and
Speaker 5: he credited Dak and let him know that that's crazy.
Speaker 4: Yes, I saw the video that had a long embrace
Speaker 4: when they first saw each other at the Foundation gala
Speaker 4: the other night.
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool.
Speaker 8: Yeah, And it's it's an honor for me to know Eduardo.
Speaker 8: I got to spend so much time with him in Detroit.
Speaker 8: He's such an amazing human being. And just to know
Speaker 8: that he got to be there on Friday night and
Speaker 8: meet Dak and a lot of the rest of the
Speaker 8: team was there too, and just had that experience unbelievable
Speaker 8: for him.
Speaker 6: So it's very very happy.
Speaker 2: Bags.
Speaker 5: Did you go, No, I thought you were asking me
Speaker 5: if I went to the a CMS. No, that was Thursday.
Speaker 5: We just moved to the a CM.
Speaker 10: We do that.
Speaker 5: There's a whole bunch of going on around here. No, actually, Vicky,
Speaker 5: that was the first we ever mentioned it. You just
Speaker 5: mentioned it. Somebody mentioned already to me today with the
Speaker 5: MAVs and the Stars and kicking the Cowboys off the
Speaker 5: front page. I said, yeah, until tomorrow, somebody misses Ota practice.
Speaker 7: But you're right, man, you have to include the Cowboys.
Speaker 7: As far as the success of Dallas sports teams, I mean,
Speaker 7: I know we've tanked it in the first round of
Speaker 7: the playoffs, but man, you still want the division.
Speaker 2: You know you had a great season. You know, what
Speaker 2: can you say about this?
Speaker 5: I thought it put the Stars thing in perspective. When
Speaker 5: I think, I can't remember who pointed it out, or
Speaker 5: if it was one of the players, it's like, or
Speaker 5: maybe the board it's like, well, we're halfway there all
Speaker 5: this and you're only halfway there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, the Cowboys have to be feeling some kind
Speaker 7: of way because we're talking about the city of Dallas
Speaker 7: and how the sports teams are doing so well, and
Speaker 7: the Cowboys just they need to get still need to
Speaker 7: get over that hump that you see the Mavericks have
Speaker 7: gotten over, and that you see the Stars have gotten
Speaker 7: over once again. Still halfway there, still halfway there, but
Speaker 7: they have already exceeded. But the Cowboys have done in
Speaker 7: the last few playoff runs, say, well, I wouldn't call
Speaker 7: it a playoff run, just the playoff game.
Speaker 5: Yeah, haven't gotten over them. So we'll see what goes
Speaker 5: on going forward here. But anybody looking forward to seeing
Speaker 5: something at the OTAs.
Speaker 4: Sure, what are you looking forward to most?
Speaker 5: Seeing that they still don't do a lot of competitive stuff.
Speaker 5: I just want to see some of these young guys
Speaker 5: because I wasn't here for the rookie Mini camp, so
Speaker 5: just to see how guys move, what kind of feet
Speaker 5: does Guiton have in person? I think I've heard enough
Speaker 5: about BB that I'm totally sold, especially when he pointed
Speaker 5: out in his interview. I can't remember if we mentioned
Speaker 5: it last week or not, pointed out in his interview
Speaker 5: he's already practiced snapping to the point when he was
Speaker 5: in the hotel for the mini camp, he had a
Speaker 5: ball with him and went into the ballroom and got
Speaker 5: somebody to catch snaps from center from him. So that
Speaker 5: tells you how committed this guy.
Speaker 2: He didn't break up anything.
Speaker 5: In right BLUs the window or something with a bad snap,
Speaker 5: but evidently they didn't, you know, for whatever they do
Speaker 5: in the Rookie minning camp, there were no balls on
Speaker 5: the ground because of bad snaps, So good indication right there.
Speaker 7: I'm looking at the DBS, of course, I want to
Speaker 7: see how well they look, you know, one on one coverage,
Speaker 7: what kind of attitude they have, you know, what's their style?
Speaker 2: Is it physical?
Speaker 11: You know?
Speaker 2: Is it a neesse?
Speaker 7: So I'm just especially the young man from is it Canada?
Speaker 7: One went through Canadian football? Which one which one of
Speaker 7: the DB's went through more secure this route to the NFL.
Speaker 5: That was the other guy that got drafted by someone else.
Speaker 5: He didn't we didn't get him in Canada.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the one. We didn't get him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Quant stickers.
Speaker 4: Kaylin Carson is your new guy, the fifth round draft
Speaker 4: pick out of Wake Forest. He's nearly six.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he breaks well, he breaks well on the routes
Speaker 7: they bad. Watch out for the pump, for the pump
Speaker 7: and go.
Speaker 8: I am interested in seeing are running back group we
Speaker 8: got Zeke Back, Rico Dudel, Douce, Vaughn, Royce Freeman. I
Speaker 8: kind of want to see how all of those guys
Speaker 8: are practicing a little bit and working together because obviously
Speaker 8: there's still discussions on you know what that will look like.
Speaker 5: Well, gone for it brought that up.
Speaker 6: Oh what do we have, Mickey, I'm trying to.
Speaker 5: Find where all my notes are.
Speaker 4: Well, while you would look to find the notes, did
Speaker 4: you find the notes already?
Speaker 2: I did? Oh? There you go.
Speaker 5: So on Friday it's quicker than on Friday I wrote
Speaker 5: about this, this whole thing when we were listening to
Speaker 5: the assistant coaches of talking about the committee, and I
Speaker 5: was like, Okay, what does the committee mean mean and
Speaker 5: what does it look like? And is it a committee
Speaker 5: of three? Is a committee of four? Who's on the committee?
Speaker 5: And the best I could tell at this point, especially
Speaker 5: from Jeff Blasco, the running backs coach, talking about you know,
Speaker 5: it's it's it might change, you know week to week
Speaker 5: who who's who they're using. He said it could be
Speaker 5: where we have a guy playing than twenty percent, if
Speaker 5: it's three guys in the stable, and he said it
Speaker 5: might have to do with what we're doing offensively, what
Speaker 5: we're doing schematically, and who puts us in the best
Speaker 5: position to win. Now, when I looked at the eight candidates,
Speaker 5: the only sure thing on the committee to me is
Speaker 5: Ezekiel Elliott rico'dodell, since he's got the most experience other
Speaker 5: than Royce Freeman. And I looked up Freeman's stats and
Speaker 5: he has started the amount of games that he started
Speaker 5: in the league, the most he's started in a single season.
Speaker 5: You have to go back to twenty nineteen, so It's
Speaker 5: not like he's been a guy that you say, Okay,
Speaker 5: he's part of the committee. So Hunter Lipke, is he
Speaker 5: on the committee? Does the full back count Malik Davis?
Speaker 5: Where does he fit in? If he fits in? But
Speaker 5: all I know is the only guy that's got a
Speaker 5: lot of experience is Zeke. And I like the fact
Speaker 5: that when Blasco was talking about Zeke, he said and
Speaker 5: it came up to be in short yardage and he said,
Speaker 5: he's a can of kick ass in that department. And
Speaker 5: I'm going, okay, yeah, that what did they miss last year?
Speaker 5: Can of kick ass inside the ten yard line?
Speaker 4: So again, I.
Speaker 5: Don't know if you guys have you know, a definite
Speaker 5: choice other than Zeke who's on the committee. But if
Speaker 5: it's by committee, it Zeke and everybody else because other
Speaker 5: than Freeman, nobody else has got to start on this group.
Speaker 7: To me, if you start talking about the running backs,
Speaker 7: you can't talk about them without talking about the offensive line.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 7: You can talk all you want about how good a
Speaker 7: running back is if you don't open up the holes.
Speaker 7: And I'm still this is my theme from here on.
Speaker 7: We have to win in the trenches. I don't care
Speaker 7: who the running back is if the hole is there,
Speaker 7: you've got a professional running.
Speaker 2: Back that can hit that hole the way it's supposed
Speaker 2: to be. I'm sorry, I can't.
Speaker 7: I don't need the Heisman Trophy winning running back or
Speaker 7: whatever to run behind my offensive line. I don't care
Speaker 7: who what is as long as that hole is open.
Speaker 7: I'm sure that our running back can hit that hole.
Speaker 7: And we're going to need that so much this season
Speaker 7: because our first down is going to be our most
Speaker 7: important down for us all season long. And if we're
Speaker 7: going to play the way we're supposed to play, that
Speaker 7: running back has got to be not just one running back.
Speaker 7: Whatever running backs we use, they're going to have to
Speaker 7: be adept at hitting that hole because it needs to
Speaker 7: be open.
Speaker 2: It's got to be open.
Speaker 7: We can't we can't sit here and have our running
Speaker 7: back going lateral all the time to the line of
Speaker 7: scrimmage and not hitting it in the hole. I don't
Speaker 7: care if it's Zeke, he couldn't do it if there's
Speaker 7: no blocking. He couldn't do it when there was no blocking.
Speaker 7: I don't care if it's doubt. He couldn't do it
Speaker 7: when there's no blocking. We need to go straight ahead.
Speaker 7: We need to hit it hard. We need to hit
Speaker 7: it fast.
Speaker 5: And I wonder if they consider Cavante Turpin and CD
Speaker 5: Lamb part of the committee because I know CD CD.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I bet he would. Well, we have yeah, we
Speaker 2: have a CD both.
Speaker 4: Last year, the returning receivers had thirty carries for two
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty eight yards and three touchdowns eight point
Speaker 4: six yards of carry.
Speaker 5: That should count, right, because you want cooks. And if
Speaker 5: you look at carries, and I mentioned Freeman and I misspoke,
Speaker 5: I mentioned his starts. I was looking at his carries
Speaker 5: and Freeman's high of his career was one hundred and
Speaker 5: thirty two, but it was back in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 4: I look at like, what did he do last year?
Speaker 4: That's what I want to know. And last year he
Speaker 4: had seventy seven carries for three hundred nineteen yards four
Speaker 4: point one yards of carry, two touchdowns, had one catch
Speaker 4: for thirteen yards.
Speaker 5: And Donald's career high was last year eighty nine carries.
Speaker 5: Malik Davis for four point one yards you carry, yeah,
Speaker 5: only had thirty eight carries in his career. So we
Speaker 5: got the head guy. Now, who follows.
Speaker 4: Who's the head guy?
Speaker 12: Okay, he's the committee head guy. Now we got to
Speaker 12: last year, had had one hundred and eight eighty four carries.
Speaker 12: He had a basically, he had ninety five more carries
Speaker 12: than Dowdell did and one hundred and seven more carries
Speaker 12: than Freeman did. Last year, Zeke had one hundred and
Speaker 12: eighty four carries for six hundred and forty two yards.
Speaker 12: But more significantly than that, he had fifty one catches
Speaker 12: for three hundred thirteen yards and two touchdowns exactly.
Speaker 5: And he scored touchdowns too, by the way, So I
Speaker 5: think that's something that they've got to figure out. But
Speaker 5: kind of as the coaches keep saying, it's like, well,
Speaker 5: we won't know till training camp, and maybe not until
Speaker 5: we play three preseason.
Speaker 4: Games, right, And I've got a thought on deuceband too.
Speaker 4: I will share when we come back, all right, and
Speaker 4: we will. You're gonna everyone knows what the schedule is
Speaker 4: by now, but I need your take on where the
Speaker 4: potential potholes are in the schedule that was released last Wednesday.
Speaker 4: When mix shots continues, in a moment, I'm.
Speaker 10: Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, and.
Speaker 5: They snapped the press. Who looks right, it's not there,
Speaker 5: he escapes left. He'll look for pumps down.
Speaker 10: Just like football, when it comes to crypto, it's important
Speaker 10: to have a team you can trust. With blockchain dot Com,
Speaker 10: I know I'm in good hands. Since twenty eleven, they've
Speaker 10: been trusted by millions around the world to buy, sell,
Speaker 10: and trade crypto currency.
Speaker 4: Prescott's gonna rub this himself, run it up the middle,
Speaker 4: and he scores.
Speaker 10: Whether you're new to crypto or an active trader, They've
Speaker 10: got you covered.
Speaker 2: What are you waiting for?
Speaker 10: Get started at blockchain dot com.
Speaker 13: We know that juicy, cheesy, grilled to perfection burger sounds amazing,
Speaker 13: but it does sound like something is missing. Pepsi baby,
Speaker 13: the yin to this Burger's yang. Burgers and pepsi go
Speaker 13: together like well, like burgers and pepsi. This perfect blending
Speaker 13: of flavors makes every bite of let us, every sesame
Speaker 13: seed on the bun, and every sip of that crisp
Speaker 13: refreshing ice cool kola a journey to photopia.
Speaker 6: Burgers better with pepsi, That's what I like.

Speaker 4: That was a perfect read.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 4: That is a professional broadcaster right there. And you know
Speaker 4: how you know that, Mickey, How's that she knows how
Speaker 4: to pronounce all the country's names, Chile.
Speaker 6: Chile, La like that? Thank you?
Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 5: Most will say.
Speaker 4: Most will say Chile, Yes, Chile, Chile. Have you been
Speaker 4: to Chile?
Speaker 5: It was so perfect it knocked my headset off.
Speaker 6: I noticed that for a second. I was like, is
Speaker 6: met okay?
Speaker 4: And that's the other thing that shows how professional she
Speaker 4: is as a broadcaster is she was not distracted. She's
Speaker 4: not a distractable.
Speaker 5: Player, but ourselves okay.
Speaker 4: One other thought on the running back situation, Deuce.
Speaker 5: Vaughan is going to be on the committee.
Speaker 4: Yes, And I thought going into last season the same way,
Speaker 4: and I haven't changed my thought on this. I did
Speaker 4: not expect him to do anything his rookie year, especially
Speaker 4: a rookie coming in when you're in a situation, uh
Speaker 4: where you're not the starter, you're not getting regular reps, okay,
Speaker 4: and there's not really a plan for you because they
Speaker 4: don't know exactly what you can do, especially at your
Speaker 4: size and so forth. And so I think it was
Speaker 4: going to take a year of assimilation into the whole
Speaker 4: process here to figure things out. And I also think
Speaker 4: that the makeup of the running back room now will
Speaker 4: allow duce Van to do more of the things that
Speaker 4: he I think he's capable of doing. You know, there's
Speaker 4: a lot of comparisons, especially because he's a short in
Speaker 4: stature and out of Kansas State, just like Darren Sprolls
Speaker 4: and Brian Schottenheimer had darren Sprolls in San Diego when
Speaker 4: he first came out. I just pulled up here are
Speaker 4: the numbers for Darren Sprolls his rookie season in two
Speaker 4: thousand and five coming out of Kansas State. Okay, I
Speaker 4: believe Schottenheimer was on the staff there with the Chargers.
Speaker 4: Then he played in fifteen games. He had eight carries
Speaker 4: for fifty yards and no touchdowns. He had four targets,
Speaker 4: three receptions ten yards. Then he missed his second season
Speaker 4: due to injury at a broken ankle, and so it
Speaker 4: wasn't until his third year in the league that they
Speaker 4: finally started figuring out, Okay, how can we use this guy? Yeah,
Speaker 4: had one hundred and sixty four yards rushing in his
Speaker 4: third year with a couple of touchdowns, used a little
Speaker 4: more in the passing game ten catches thirty one yards
Speaker 4: in his fourth year. He gradually built up to where
Speaker 4: they figured out, Okay, this is Darren Sprolls. And I'm
Speaker 4: not saying Cavante Turpin is necessarily Darren Sprolls, but he's
Speaker 4: the same type back that Sprolls was coming out of
Speaker 4: Kansas State. I think it's going to be time for
Speaker 4: him to find to take time for him to find
Speaker 4: his place in this league, right, And it.
Speaker 6: Took Sproles a little bit of develop.
Speaker 4: And he got delayed further because he got hurt his
Speaker 4: second year of the league.
Speaker 5: But I'm guessing if you look at Sproll's special teams contributions,
Speaker 5: maybe because they couldn't figure out what to do with
Speaker 5: Deuce on special m and if he wasn't returning with
Speaker 5: Turpin back there, then what was he doing on special
Speaker 5: teams because he didn't you didn't want him in covering, right, Yeah,
Speaker 5: he might be what.
Speaker 2: He might submarine some people out there that was one.
Speaker 5: Of the reasons I think he was inactive going on
Speaker 5: as the season went along, that they couldn't figure it out.
Speaker 4: It's going to be interesting what happens with the kickoff
Speaker 4: and the kickoff return exactly because he is more of
Speaker 4: a punt return type guy than he would be a
Speaker 4: kickoff return guy, but not necessarily.
Speaker 5: But now it's a different kickoff than what it was, right,
Speaker 5: And what if Turpin has a bigger role as a receiver,
Speaker 5: do you maybe shared return ability?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 5: So that that's a good point.
Speaker 4: And so the other thing, it seemed like every time
Speaker 4: Deuce got the ball, even in preseason games, he was
Speaker 4: just swallowed up. There was no place to run.
Speaker 2: A lot of guys.
Speaker 7: I keep telling you, guys, because he's out the string.
Speaker 7: His plays didn't work last year because we didn't block
Speaker 7: anybody last year.
Speaker 4: And that's no opportunity to get started, none at all.
Speaker 7: Right, that's what we got to look at, guys, preseason,
Speaker 7: regular season training camp. We've got to look at our
Speaker 7: front line and they have to dominate. You can get
Speaker 7: anybody back there, and I don't mean just anyone, but
Speaker 7: if you get a good running back behind a very
Speaker 7: good offensive line, then you have something going.
Speaker 2: You've got something going.
Speaker 7: You could put together a drive with any running back
Speaker 7: that you have back there. And I'm talking about I'm
Speaker 7: not belittling any of the running backs.
Speaker 2: All of their talents.
Speaker 7: Are going to be useful, but you have to have
Speaker 7: holes open for them to use their talent.
Speaker 5: And I think if you just look at what happened
Speaker 5: in Detroit with David Montgomery, kind of the lead back,
Speaker 5: they used the first round pick on Jamier Gifts and
Speaker 5: he nearly had a thousand yards. He can go right
Speaker 5: that young man.
Speaker 4: There's a reason they used the first round.
Speaker 7: Picking the cowboy.
Speaker 2: He is something.
Speaker 5: And one last thing on that. Blasco did a little
Speaker 5: bit of a study on thousand yard rushers in the
Speaker 5: league and he figured out, if I can find this
Speaker 5: real quickly, that from two thousand to twenty I want
Speaker 5: to say it was two thousand to twenty fourteen, the
Speaker 5: NFL averaged seventeen one thousand yard rushers a season. And
Speaker 5: then from twenty fifteen through twenty twenty three, and what
Speaker 5: three of those years, four of them seventeen games, the
Speaker 5: average drop to eleven thousand yards rushers for average per year,
Speaker 5: and last year there were twelve, but to get to
Speaker 5: twelve for of the guys that made it made it
Speaker 5: by fifteen yards, twelve yards, eight yards and five yards.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 5: So thousand yard rushers kind of a fading statistics, especially
Speaker 5: after seventeen games. And the guy that made it with
Speaker 5: five was pollared. He would rushed for one thousand and
Speaker 5: five yards and nobody and there was another group of
Speaker 5: four guys that didn't rush for more than one thousand
Speaker 5: and forty nine yards. So that's with seventeen games.
Speaker 7: So and did it matter his team was the most successful?
Speaker 7: Did it equate to success on the particularly right?
Speaker 5: Well, it did in Kansas City, although the second leading
Speaker 5: rusher was Mahomes.
Speaker 2: The checko on the Kansasity's team, the.
Speaker 5: Checko was the leader and then Clyde Edwards. Hilaire though
Speaker 5: had some injuries, but he only rushed for a couple
Speaker 5: of hundred yards.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 7: It's it's a combine. It's be so many combinations. It
Speaker 7: depends on the scheme of the team itself. You know,
Speaker 7: if you got a quarterback on a bunch of yards
Speaker 7: and you're not going to have a running back lenning
Speaker 7: for a bunch of.
Speaker 5: Yards, or if you got a quarterback that can run
Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 5: Then it really minimizes your one depends.
Speaker 2: It depends on what your system is.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would it would be interesting to see if
Speaker 7: they could put that together.
Speaker 4: So Pachecko, for Kansas City, had nine hundred and thirty
Speaker 4: five yards rushing thirty five last year.
Speaker 5: And then Mahomes had like seven Homes had three eighty nine,
Speaker 5: three eighty nine, but he had a bunch of carries,
Speaker 5: so didn't.
Speaker 4: He seventy five carries? Pacheco had two hundred five carries.
Speaker 4: So anyway, all right, what do you see on that
Speaker 4: schedule that it's a potential landmine.
Speaker 5: Well, first of our seventy.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 5: I thought it was knowing how difficult it was going
Speaker 5: to be the start, with eleven team having to face
Speaker 5: teams in eleven games with winning records, nine games of
Speaker 5: teams that went into the playoffs, it was going to
Speaker 5: be difficult, right, we talked about it last week. I
Speaker 5: thought that one stretch could have been difficult because you
Speaker 5: had to play at Pittsburgh, Detroit and then San Francisco.
Speaker 5: So that's back to back division winners. But there's a
Speaker 5: buy in between. So I think that kind of minimized
Speaker 5: that and you probably need two weeks to get ready
Speaker 5: for San Francisco. Right, So, to me, when I looked
Speaker 5: at it, the tough spot was the three games in
Speaker 5: eleven days where you play Houston at home on a
Speaker 5: Monday night, you go on the road at Washington on Sunday,
Speaker 5: and then Thanksgiving with the Giants. So that's a tough
Speaker 5: rutch there, and they made it tougher by giving them
Speaker 5: the Monday night game the two Sundays before, but at
Speaker 5: least they don't go Thursday to Thursday, and they get
Speaker 5: a big break after that, and then they'll go eleven
Speaker 5: days with before they play the next game, and the
Speaker 5: next game Cincinnati on a Monday night, so it's normally
Speaker 5: ten days. Well they'll get eleven. So but that's to me,
Speaker 5: that was one of the tough stretches.
Speaker 2: This is a tough schedule.
Speaker 5: Well, what's going to be tough. That's what you get
Speaker 5: for winning the division, right.
Speaker 7: I'm looking at the September twenty six, then October six,
Speaker 7: you finally get a home game against Detroit the thirteenth,
Speaker 7: then you have two more even you have a buye,
Speaker 7: you have two more Rold games and in Philly and
Speaker 7: start to stretch tenth through the twenty.
Speaker 4: Eight Forget home lot Yeah, forget forget home and away,
Speaker 4: forget to buy. You're just looking at the quality of
Speaker 4: the opponent that we think the opponent has shown over
Speaker 4: the last couple of years that they're going to be tough.
Speaker 4: It's the four game stretch Detroit at San Francisco, at
Speaker 4: Atlanta now with Kirk Cousins at quarterback and with the
Speaker 4: offensive talent that they have drafted whatever, Okay, and in
Speaker 4: Philadelphia and then you get Houston.
Speaker 2: You're not looking at New York and Pittsburgh before that.
Speaker 4: Well, but I'm looking at the playoff teams, teams that Detroit,
Speaker 4: San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Houston. There's a four out of
Speaker 4: five games where all those teams made the playoffs last
Speaker 4: year and they have high hopes to go a long
Speaker 4: way this year.
Speaker 8: I'm also looking I'm looking at these conference games. I mean, honestly,
Speaker 8: some of these guys, what they've done in the offseason
Speaker 8: so far, and who.
Speaker 6: They've added on their rosters.
Speaker 8: I mean, I think some of the NFC East teams
Speaker 8: are going to be really tough, and we're playing them
Speaker 8: two times.
Speaker 7: I'm looking at the primetime games as well, going back
Speaker 7: to New York and Pittsburgh. I know that they won't
Speaker 7: playoff teams, but they can't wait for us to get
Speaker 7: up right on a prime two prime time games in
Speaker 7: a row. They can't wait to get at the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 7: That's going to be an issue. That's even before you
Speaker 7: play Detroit that much on the road too, So I'm
Speaker 7: just saying you look at it.
Speaker 4: Well, the first half of the schedule, for the first
Speaker 4: eight games, you got five of them on the road.
Speaker 5: But again there's a Thursday night game on the road,
Speaker 5: and then you don't play till the following Sunday, so
Speaker 5: you get a little bit of a break right from
Speaker 5: a day's.
Speaker 2: Stamping, that's true.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And then the same thing Detroit San Francisco. There's
Speaker 5: a bye in the middle.
Speaker 7: That's the only saving grace because the task is still
Speaker 7: at hand.
Speaker 2: It's still a tough task.
Speaker 5: And Philadelphia Houston at least you're at home. Yeah, and
Speaker 5: after the buy and there's a Monday night game there too,
Speaker 5: so you got a next your day to get ready
Speaker 5: for Houston.
Speaker 4: And after the bye, you still have a full college
Speaker 4: season to play.
Speaker 5: Yes, exactly. They're only halfway there.
Speaker 4: They're not even Yeah, well one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Speaker 4: you got eleven games till the end of the season.
Speaker 4: Then you're hoping you're going playoffs. So that's twelve thirteen four.
Speaker 4: That's a if you were to win the Super Bowl
Speaker 4: or even go to the Super Bowl, that's a fifteen
Speaker 4: game schedule after your by hopefully. That's why you need
Speaker 4: all these running backs.
Speaker 2: That's why you need to pace, your need to have
Speaker 2: minis right yourself.
Speaker 4: The whole team needs to be a committee exactly. That's
Speaker 4: the way it is now in the NFL. That's why
Speaker 4: these all these players are going to be out here
Speaker 4: that are out here this week. They're in OTAs. You
Speaker 4: got a ninety man roster. If you go back and
Speaker 4: look at last year's training camp roster, ninety players, I
Speaker 4: bet you eighty five of those ninety players on the
Speaker 4: roster were in some capacity on an NFL team, practice
Speaker 4: squad or whatever for at least a portion of the
Speaker 4: regular season. Because that's the way and with the new
Speaker 4: rules now that have come into effect here in the
Speaker 4: last few years, as far as the practice squad, where
Speaker 4: veterans can be on the practice squad and the expanded
Speaker 4: practice squad and the injured reserve list where you can
Speaker 4: only you can go on the list for just four
Speaker 4: weeks and then come back. Now whatever, you're not out
Speaker 4: for the entire season. You need as many bodies as
Speaker 4: you can have in here.
Speaker 5: I think the Cowboys' so soft the top of my head,
Speaker 5: it was just less than seventy players active for a game.
Speaker 5: It was like sixty seven or sixty eight somewhere there
Speaker 5: that that's how many players they ended up using with
Speaker 5: that's active for a game.
Speaker 4: And then you add another sixteen that were on and
Speaker 4: off the practice squad.
Speaker 5: I counted those guys that got promoted.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if they got promoted, but there's them that don't
Speaker 4: get promoted, and some you know, from week to week,
Speaker 4: you're on and off practice squads all over the league.
Speaker 4: So it's if you've got a job in the NFL,
Speaker 4: you're probably going to be in a regular season on
Speaker 4: an NFL roster in some capacity.
Speaker 7: When I look at this schedule, I think the Cowboys
Speaker 7: need to understand one thing. They're going to have to
Speaker 7: slice this thing up asa as they can to their advantage.
Speaker 7: You know that you can't. Just as we've been looking
Speaker 7: at you have to kind of scheme your way through
Speaker 7: the season, and with this schedule, you got to break
Speaker 7: it down into smaller increments to where you can you know,
Speaker 7: break it down to bite sized, uh, you know, chunks
Speaker 7: week by week.
Speaker 2: But when you're looking.
Speaker 7: At the Cowboys roster, I don't see us having a
Speaker 7: great regular.
Speaker 2: Season necessarily as last season. But I still do see us.
Speaker 7: As we you know I'm projecting here. I still see
Speaker 7: us making the playoffs. But they're gonna have to be
Speaker 7: masterful and how they pace themselves. They're going to be
Speaker 7: masterful on how they play their personnel in certain situations
Speaker 7: for certain games. And when you look at this, everyone
Speaker 7: else has a tough schedule as well, so it's not
Speaker 7: like we're the only ones with a tough schedule. And
Speaker 7: when it's all said and done, we're going to have
Speaker 7: to peak at the right time. I don't care what well,
Speaker 7: I care what goes on between September and November, but
Speaker 7: you need to be ramping up by the time November
Speaker 7: and December comes because you can't. This schedule here will
Speaker 7: not allow you to just You're not going to run
Speaker 7: through everyone the way we did last.
Speaker 4: Year to underscore that ever soon, and I think they did.
Speaker 4: The NFL did this across the league. Okay, look at
Speaker 4: the number of division games the Cowboys have in the
Speaker 4: first half of the season versus the second half of
Speaker 4: the season. The first eight games of the year, the
Speaker 4: Cowboys have one the giants in the division, and then
Speaker 4: starting with a Philadelphia game, what is it, five out
Speaker 4: of their last nine games are against division opponents. And
Speaker 4: the league has done that with a purpose. They want them.
Speaker 4: They want teams to at least still think they have
Speaker 4: a chance because they've got division games left. And I
Speaker 4: like it much better then. You know, there was a
Speaker 4: a few years ago they was talking, oh, you got
Speaker 4: to have division games your last game of the year. Well,
Speaker 4: a lot of times the last game of the year
Speaker 4: you're already out of it, So why would you play
Speaker 4: your division games the last.
Speaker 5: Game of the year.
Speaker 4: It's meaningless at that point. But if you stack two
Speaker 4: division games the last two weeks, then you're looking at
Speaker 4: you go into the last two weeks of the season,
Speaker 4: since you're playing division opponents, you might if you're two
Speaker 4: games out, you still got a chance coming into the
Speaker 4: last two weeks of the seams. So I like it
Speaker 4: a lot better having two division opponents the last two
Speaker 4: weeks of the season.
Speaker 5: And they got to play three division opponents in the
Speaker 5: last six.
Speaker 4: So and you also have spread it out enough. They're
Speaker 4: at least a month apart, six weeks apart between playing
Speaker 4: those that the teams are. You know, you go through
Speaker 4: highs and lows throughout the season, injury factor in. It's
Speaker 4: not you're not playing the same division opponent two weeks apart.
Speaker 4: It's it's spread out enough. Well, did I think they
Speaker 4: did a really good job as far as making that
Speaker 4: work like that? So speaking of destractable, yeah, Wavy.
Speaker 5: Megan used to work with us, and I kept trying
Speaker 5: to get her on our show and she no, I
Speaker 5: can't talking.
Speaker 6: The first I've heard this were you.
Speaker 2: I feel threatened right now?
Speaker 5: Were you doing that in two thousand and five?
Speaker 2: What's that?
Speaker 5: That's when I tried to get her on the show
Speaker 5: two thousand and five to replace me.
Speaker 2: Guys, stuff is coming out of your head.
Speaker 5: You know what made this schedule tough is the fact
Speaker 5: that in the rotation of playing the AFC division that
Speaker 5: they got the AOC North and they all had winning
Speaker 5: records last year. When what are the chances of that happening?
Speaker 4: So Well, when I look at well, it's every four
Speaker 4: years they played, they.
Speaker 5: All have chances, but they all have winning records. Smart,
Speaker 5: thank you a good point.
Speaker 4: Good comeback, Nicky, you had the most salient point. The
Speaker 4: first thing that you said, the reason that the schedule
Speaker 4: is tougher is because the team finished in first place.
Speaker 4: That's right, That's why it's tougher. You're playing Detroit, you're
Speaker 4: playing San Francisco, and you're playing Houston because you finished
Speaker 4: in first.
Speaker 5: If they would have played finished second whatever, they would
Speaker 5: have got Green Bay. I meant in relation to the
Speaker 5: seventeenth game, so.
Speaker 4: You would have got whatever second place team from that
Speaker 4: AFC South was Indianapol.
Speaker 7: How did the Super Bowl winning Chiefs start off this season?
Speaker 2: Last year they lost. They would have a tough time
Speaker 2: last year. I have a tough time last year.
Speaker 5: God forbid if you lose the opener.
Speaker 7: Well, they were having a tough time last year and
Speaker 7: they had to right the ship at the right time.
Speaker 7: So that's why I say it's it's all about timing.
Speaker 7: It's all about being patient, not panicking during the regular
Speaker 7: season and ramping up at the right time, and like
Speaker 7: you said, this schedule allows you to do that and
Speaker 7: be successful to move on.
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm just like golf, That's what I'm.
Speaker 4: Looking not how you drive, It's how you arrive, unless
Speaker 4: it's the p g A Championship, and it is in
Speaker 4: the case of Scotty Scheffler.
Speaker 5: As long as you don't get in the wrong lane.
Speaker 4: Did you hear xandrewf uh his after his round yesterday?
Speaker 4: He said, you know, I just was thinking to myself
Speaker 4: all week. I just I just need to stay in
Speaker 4: my lane.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 4: No, of course, I immediately, like Scotty Cheffery would have
Speaker 4: stayed in his lane.
Speaker 5: I think I might not be saying in there right now.
Speaker 5: It's one bad round, right, well, but the bad round
Speaker 5: was the day after, but he slept, he slept on it.
Speaker 5: I had time to think about it, right.
Speaker 6: I don't know if I think that.
Speaker 4: I think the fact that his caddy was at his
Speaker 4: kids graduation had more than probably bad round. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 4: there's poor caddy that day. You know, he starts that round,
Speaker 4: he's got a double bogie and then a bogie and
Speaker 4: a bogie.
Speaker 5: Man, I'm a horrible kaddy. You know who that Caddy
Speaker 5: was like a chaplain, the chaplin. It was Caddy.
Speaker 4: Originally because he would have even have some mental issues.
Speaker 5: He needed some prayer, some esteem issues. If not, so

Speaker 6: The thing is like it's the train because it's like.
Speaker 8: Jake Paul's had a run in boxing recently, and it's

Speaker 8: he doing at this time to prepare for that fight?
Speaker 6: Like where's he at as far as athleticism goes.
Speaker 4: Right now, all that training doesn't matter when you get
Speaker 4: hit in the face.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well.
Speaker 7: Go out and get him early, because if he doesn't,
Speaker 7: the old man is going to get tired.
Speaker 2: And I know that's what Jake's plan is. He's going, Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's going.
Speaker 5: To try and Okay, there there, and they're also wearing
Speaker 5: bigger cloths. Yeah yeah, wow ounces because it's softer. Oh okay,
Speaker 5: although I could vouch for getting hit with a sixteen
Speaker 5: ounce glove.
Speaker 2: You have been by so many different sports. What happened?
Speaker 2: What do you mean why did you get hit with
Speaker 2: a glove?
Speaker 5: I was in a boxing class.
Speaker 4: When was this.
Speaker 5: Seventy Oh this isn't like in college seventy eight to seventy.
Speaker 4: Okay, wasn't recent, No, no.
Speaker 5: Okay, it was actually a self defense class. I was
Speaker 5: taking a class just so I could get an ID
Speaker 5: card when I was working.
Speaker 2: In You write some bad articles and the players got Maples. Yeah, what's.
Speaker 5: Covering Charles Haley?
Speaker 8: Just so I can get this off, Jake al Gallo,
Speaker 8: Paul means the rooster.
Speaker 2: But yeah, thank you, thank you. That's what I was
Speaker 2: going to add.
Speaker 5: There was a salvatory Salvatorian restaurant on Maple El Gallo
Speaker 5: Gallo it was, and they had a rooster.
Speaker 4: On the nice Okay, so are all right very good?
Speaker 5: And you got me or this? This just made me think.
Speaker 4: When you're talking about a fifty seven year old Mike
Speaker 4: Tyson going in the ring, what NFL player and take
Speaker 4: quart of it? Actually out the equation?
Speaker 16: Okay, well, punter to take them out there, Kenny Stabler,
Speaker 16: what player all time at whatever other positions you want
Speaker 16: to think about, could at age fifty seven come closest
Speaker 16: to duplicating.
Speaker 4: What he was able to do as a twenty seven
Speaker 4: year old or even a thirty year old. Can anyone
Speaker 4: come to mind?
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 5: When I saw the video.
Speaker 4: Of Darryl Green throwing a running a four five or
Speaker 4: four four forty or whatever, I thought at age sixty something,
Speaker 4: I thought Darryl Green might be the one guy that
Speaker 4: could come closest to a facsimile of what he was
Speaker 4: thirty years earlier.
Speaker 5: That is a good one until he gets hit.
Speaker 7: I saw him his last year going against Randy Moss.
Speaker 2: I think it was like Monday, and he played till
Speaker 2: he was forty years old. Kick's ass.
Speaker 7: Randy couldn't catch a pass, he couldn't beat him, deep,
Speaker 7: couldn't beat him short, don'tkay how tall he was, how
Speaker 7: short Dale Greene was. Moss couldn't make a play. That's
Speaker 7: that makes me think of what you just said.
Speaker 5: But he'd have to do that twenty years after that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay.
Speaker 4: Amongst the guys you know now that are either your
Speaker 4: age older or I mean over the age of fifty
Speaker 4: to fifty five, who could go come closest to playing
Speaker 4: right now?
Speaker 5: Of that age?
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say playing. No, I can't think of.
Speaker 4: Anyone that could play, could play a play or a
Speaker 4: series or.
Speaker 7: He was always very good at keeping his body up.
Speaker 7: And you know those track guys, they really know how
Speaker 7: to take care of themselves into old age.
Speaker 2: What'll it go? I think?
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm I want a former cowboy.
Speaker 2: Oh I can't think that for a cow.
Speaker 4: Outside of Stabat m h Okay, I would not say that.
Speaker 7: You gotta take this podcast way back before the podcast
Speaker 7: talking right, what is he talking about?
Speaker 2: Don't even say that. I can't think of anyone, not
Speaker 2: at all.
Speaker 4: Okay, just thought I have to think I could go
Speaker 4: job out there somewhere.
Speaker 2: Me and Troy could go jogging jogging contest.
Speaker 5: Say, here's the bottom line on the quarterback. The recent
Speaker 5: quarterbacks retire. It's not because they don't have a good
Speaker 5: arm yet. They don't like getting hit.
Speaker 2: That's right, too much like to.
Speaker 5: That's why when you play an older quarterback, you just
Speaker 5: gottare them because they don't want anybody around their feet.
Speaker 2: They don't. So who you have in mind?
Speaker 4: No, nobody?
Speaker 2: When you have that question, you should have someone in mind.
Speaker 4: Well I just thought no, I had someone in mind
Speaker 4: on the Mike Tyson and and and then saying Darryl Grill.
Speaker 4: So I had no cowboy in mine. But I thought,
Speaker 4: since you didn't have anybody, maybe there's.
Speaker 2: A I can't no.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, what else is on your legal pasage?
Speaker 4: I got one here, okay.
Speaker 5: Someone asked Mike Zimmer when he realized stopping the run
Speaker 5: defensively had to be a priority, and he told the
Speaker 5: story about when he first became the Cowboys defensive coordinator.
Speaker 5: He had been a secondary coach, but when Campbell was
Speaker 5: named head coach, he became the defensive coordinator. So he
Speaker 5: said that when I did that, it was like, oh,
Speaker 5: I just thought, we go go go pressure you know,
Speaker 5: go after the quarterback, he said, when I told the
Speaker 5: guys just get up the field and give him hell. Well,
Speaker 5: it was the season opener that year against Philadelphia, and
Speaker 5: if you guys remember two thousand, there was a famous
Speaker 5: game called the pickle Juice Game where it was hot,
Speaker 5: hot hell at Texas Stadium. Guys were having they dehydration
Speaker 5: ivs and Philadelphia after they won the game forty one,
Speaker 5: they were bragging. They comment Wait, yeah, they were commenting
Speaker 5: on how they drank pickle juice and that was the
Speaker 5: key to the game. Well, the key to the game
Speaker 5: ended up being duced Daily running for two hundred and
Speaker 5: one yards and the Eagles running for three hundred and six.
Speaker 5: And Mike said, and that was a five and eleven team, right,
Speaker 5: they were terrible.
Speaker 2: He said.
Speaker 5: Since that day we concentrated on getting the run stopped.
Speaker 5: He goes, I learned my lesson about this, and so
Speaker 5: will go two thousand.
Speaker 4: And they were they finished and run defense that.
Speaker 5: Year thirty first, and then by two thousand and three
Speaker 5: they were first under Zoom as a defensive.
Speaker 2: Good to know, Yeah, that's damn good to know.
Speaker 5: But he learned. So he's such a person stop and
Speaker 5: then the funny thing was and he said, yeah, we
Speaker 5: gave up like two hundred and twenty yards of rushing.
Speaker 5: It's like, well close, because Due said two hundred and one.
Speaker 5: So that was that was good story. I thought that,
Speaker 5: all right, make sure you can stop the run. And
Speaker 5: that's something that they obviously got to work on for
Speaker 5: sure if you look at the games that they lost.
Speaker 2: We want to able to run and we want to
Speaker 2: stop the web.
Speaker 5: That's right it, guys, And it comes down to that
Speaker 5: defensive front. Just like the offensive front.
Speaker 2: I'll go, I like the fronts. I always like the
Speaker 2: front seven. Yeah, it's not just about seven your.
Speaker 5: First four right.
Speaker 4: In fact, that's a project I'm going to do over
Speaker 4: the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 4: I'm going to look up the stats on and the
Speaker 4: players acquired all the teams in our division, and we'll
Speaker 4: go position group by position group from offensive line to receivers,
Speaker 4: the running backs on offense, quarterbacks, and then front seven
Speaker 4: on defense, secondary on defense. Compare how do the Cowboys
Speaker 4: stack up with the other teams in our division as
Speaker 4: far as their talent?
Speaker 5: Because we're running out of shows. How many more we
Speaker 5: got just a couple, probably two or three. Don't we
Speaker 5: usually take a break after we still got two or
Speaker 5: three shows, So we were one of those shows.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we just got one other to wait til trading came.
Speaker 4: One other thought, as you we talk about the running
Speaker 4: back position, yes, okay, and okay, compare this with other
Speaker 4: teams in our division. Cowboys acquired Zeke Elliott. Okay, forget
Speaker 4: who who left the team? Okay, but we're just comparing
Speaker 4: the additions Zeke Elliott versus who was it that the
Speaker 4: Giants got Devin Singletary. Who was there addition that replaced Barkley? Yes,
Speaker 4: and then Barkley Barkley's at Philadelphia. And then who is
Speaker 4: it that Washington added Austin Eckler? Okay? Who of those four? Now,
Speaker 4: obviously Barkley is what Barkley is. Okay, if he can
Speaker 4: stay healthy, he's probably would you rank him number one.
Speaker 2: On the list?
Speaker 4: Okay, if he stays healthy. But okay, look at Zeke
Speaker 4: versus Austin Eckler, And what do you think the school
Speaker 4: of thought is around the nation When Washington adds Austin
Speaker 4: Eckler versus Dallas adds Zeke Elliott. What's the perspective the
Speaker 4: perception of those how much does it help Washington that
Speaker 4: they got Austin Eckler help Washington more tremendously.
Speaker 5: But they lost, right, didn't they Look?
Speaker 4: Wait, wait, hold on a second. Okay, okay, So that's
Speaker 4: the perception, yeah, okay, And so then what's the perception
Speaker 4: when the Cowboys added Zeke Elliott?
Speaker 2: It is not impressed, that impressed. No one's impressed.
Speaker 4: Zeke Elliott last year had one hundred and eighty four
Speaker 4: carries for six hundred and forty two yards and three touchdowns.
Speaker 4: Austin Eckler had one hundred and seventy nine carries for
Speaker 4: six hundred and twenty eight yards and five touchdowns. They
Speaker 4: both Zeke averaged three point three point five yards of
Speaker 4: carry and Austin Eckler averaged three point five yards of carry,
Speaker 4: and they both had fifty one.
Speaker 5: Catches and the Chargers didn't want them.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, what's going on? It was the only thing
Speaker 2: that was doing something.
Speaker 5: But that's perception for you.
Speaker 4: Ye that, oh wow, Austin. You know why. Austin Eckler
Speaker 4: has done a lot in the past in the fantasy
Speaker 4: football game, especially in a PPR league where you get
Speaker 4: receptions count for you. So and Zeke hasn't been as
Speaker 4: high in receptions, although last year he did have fifty one. Anyway,
Speaker 4: just keep things in perspective.
Speaker 2: I believe in Zeke. They kiss my butt. Yeah, there you.
Speaker 4: Go, all right?
Speaker 5: Does it?
Speaker 4: And next week it's a Memorial Day holiday on Monday,
Speaker 4: and so we will be at another.
Speaker 5: Bat time right Tuesday.
