What else? I got 28 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: you so many things to talk about. So many things 29 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: happened today with the trade deadline going down, so many 30 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: things happened on I guess Thursday that we need to 31 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: get into. Where where do you guys want to go? First? 32 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: You want to go trades, you want to go, coaching changes, 33 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: you want to go I mean, yeah, you're the host, 34 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: but I mean, my god, just in the last like 35 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: three hours, it feels like the entire landscape at the 36 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: NFC has changed. Yeah, let's talk about that a little bit. 37 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: So we've got some uh, we've got some trades that 38 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: happened here over the last couple hours, five really notable ones, 39 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: a couple of them here in the division. Let's start 40 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: with Golden Take going from Detroit to Philadelphia. As if 41 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: the competition it looked very winnable, the Cowboys made a 42 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: move to go get Amari Cooper and then uh, guess what, Like, yeah, 43 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: Philly said, not so fast, Let's go get our own receiver. 44 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: What do you guys, how does that change his division? 45 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: Just picking up that receiver by Philly? Right, Philly was 46 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: already kind of the favorite coming into this season, and 47 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: they felt like they were one player away maybe from 48 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: reaching it again, and so they went out to do 49 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: what they needed to do. I mean, this comes down to, 50 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: you know, do you want to buy or do you 51 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: want to rent? I mean, and that's what That's what 52 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,839 Speaker 1: the Eagles have done. That's really what maybe Washington did. 53 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: They've rented some players that will help them this year, 54 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys hope that their guy will help this 55 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: year as well. The difference is is Amara Cooper is 56 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: a guy that that should help them down the road 57 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: a lot longer. They got more of an investment in him. 58 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: But as far as you know, it goes this year, 59 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: fans don't look at that as much as they see 60 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 1: they got a Golden Tate and they lost a third. 61 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: The Cowboys get Amari Cooper and they lost a one. 62 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: So that's that's the difference. But this is one of 63 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: those things that it's going to be evaluated down the 64 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: road a little bit. Yeah, I'm I'm curious about this 65 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: because honestly, I mean, I don't know that the Eagles 66 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: were like missing a wide receiver. Alshon Jeffrey is a 67 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: pretty good player, Zach Ertz is a great tight end, 68 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 1: and Nelson Agilore has come on. Their secondary and their 69 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: offensive line are the things that trouble me. But I 70 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: guess if you can add more firepower to your offense, 71 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: go for it. The fun thing for the Eagles from 72 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: their perspective is, yeah, it's a rental. Golden Tate's only 73 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: guaranteed to be with you for eight games, but if 74 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: he leaves, you'll probably get a compick for it. But again, 75 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: he's seven years older than Amari Cooper. So to Nick's point, 76 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: it's it's two different strategies. I think the Eagles can 77 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: recoup that loss a little bit easier. But if Amary 78 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: Cooper is the guy the Cowboys think he can be, 79 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: then this is a totally different situation because this is 80 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: a building block type of guy that you expect to 81 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: be around here for the next five six years. State 82 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: you like Golden Tape for a third better or Amari 83 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: Cooper for a one better for what for what Golden 84 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: Tape can bring today and for what he's been over 85 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: the last two or three years and where the Eagles 86 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: are at and trying to get back on track. I 87 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: think this is a great player. I think a guy 88 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: that you know that can run out to catch, a 89 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: guy that can make big plays down the stretch. You 90 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: did it for Seattle, He's did it for Detroit. He's 91 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: a team first guy. He'll do anything to make the 92 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: team better. He's a vocal guy. I love this. I 93 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: love this pick for what they're doing now. I think 94 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: what we did with Cooper takes us down the road, 95 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: not only today, but takes us down the road. So 96 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: two different scenarios. But you know when yet when I 97 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: first heard earlier day with Golden Tap got to the Eagles, 98 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 1: that's just another weapon for for Wench to be able 99 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: to throw to it. Really, I mean, and and you 100 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: know the last honestly, I was shooting a TV show 101 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: when that happened. That blew me away as watching and 102 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: goes and gets haha, Clinton Dix, Yeah, let's round, pick. 103 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: I was. It's just it's interesting the difference in philosophy, 104 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: because these are obviously these are go for it moves. Uh, 105 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: you got no guarantee you get anything out of golden 106 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: tape beyond eight games. The same thing goes for Clinton Dix. 107 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: He's a he's in a contract year. Uh. Neither one 108 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: of these guys is guaranteed to be with you for 109 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: long term and maybe you get a comp pick out 110 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: of it, but that's not until twenty twenty. Meanwhile, Amari 111 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,559 Speaker 1: Cooper is locked into the twenty nineteen season. You would 112 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: like to think that, you know, once he has played 113 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: nine to twenty five games here, the Cowboys have a 114 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: good shot to sign him to a long term deal. 115 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: So obviously Amari Cooper can help this team right now. 116 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: But you have to think the Cowboys are thinking long 117 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: term with this guy. Where there's that is no guarantee 118 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: with these other moves. So I'll be it's I think 119 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: it's it's six and one half a dozen the other 120 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: because like I said, at the end of the day, 121 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: I think the Eagles will feel fine about this because 122 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: they will get a comp pick back more than likely. 123 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: But if he doesn't help you get where you want 124 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: to go this year, do you feel like you wasted 125 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: that draft pick? But but is in a different situation team. 126 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: They are a team that has been experienced to the 127 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: Super Bowl and exposed to the super Bowl. There. Uh, 128 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: there're core pieces in place. So by going out getting 129 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: another playmaker, that's just that's just adding to the richest. Yeah, 130 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I hear you. I just like I said, 131 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: I don't know that receiver is what was holding them back. Um, 132 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: so it'll be. And to your point, Kurt, I think 133 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: that's what makes me feel good about what the Cowboys 134 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: decided to do is if even you know, let's say 135 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: that this Cooper thing doesn't hit the ground running in 136 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, you still feel good that you can build 137 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: around him in the coming years, whereas that's not going 138 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: to be the case with these other trades. I mean, 139 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: you're also talking about teams. This is starting to look 140 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: a lot like baseball. Before a trade deadline, you have 141 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: to decide or you enter you out for this year. 142 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: The Giants have obviously decided that they're not in and 143 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: their record shows that as well. But look at a 144 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: team like Detroit. Detroit goes in there, they lose at 145 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: home to Seattle. It seems like that that makes their 146 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: decision of what we're they want to go for this year. 147 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: I'm surprised Green Bay. I'm not saying Green Bays throwing 148 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: in the town because they got rid of the safety 149 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: because you know, with Aaron Rodgers, you always have a 150 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: chance unless you, you know, fumble the ball on a 151 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: kickoff and then you get traded as well. Yeah. But 152 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: but but I'm just saying, the Cowboys said we're in 153 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: for this year for sure, and certain teams are going 154 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: that route and certain teams don't. It's unfortunately, you've already 155 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: played Detroit. You don't get that again. Our division, no 156 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: one is running away. So I understand some of the moves. These. 157 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: I mean, the Eagles got to just as good a 158 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: chance as the Cowboys, as the Cowboys as the red 159 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: Skins of getting back in this thing. Nobody is just 160 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: taken over by the way they play in this division. 161 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: So I respect each one of the moves. Now, I'm 162 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: I love the Amori deal for now and what it 163 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: brings tomorrow. But the Eagles are trying to take this 164 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: thing this year again, and the red Skins trying to 165 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: position themselves this year to take over this deal. The 166 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: moves the Cowboys may have not made you feel like 167 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: we'veen to do this thing today. You know, I don't 168 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I mean, we can talk 169 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: about the other moves that happened yesterday. I think that 170 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: this team looks they look at it like we're close. 171 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: We're right there. We've lost a couple of games, lost 172 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: a couple of games close. Let's get back to the 173 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: things that we can do. Let's let him Marie Cooper 174 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: come in here and and go deep a little bit, 175 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: stretch things out a little bit, and also let's go 176 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: back to the things they know on the offensive line. 177 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,239 Speaker 1: They tried an experiencement with Paul Alexander did not work 178 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: out to the point where they did a move that 179 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: it's very rare around here and letting go assistance in 180 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: the middle of a season like that. So you know, 181 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: we'll see what that change does. But we talked about 182 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: this a lot on our show. This team. You give 183 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: him a touchdown more a game, how different are things? 184 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: Give me a few more first downs a game. That's 185 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: how close this team is. Can a Cooper do that? 186 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: Can a new strategy on the old line do that? 187 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll get We'll get into the Alexander thing 188 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: a little bit a couple of other moves that were 189 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: made around the league. Here today, Damarus Thomas going to 190 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: Houston to Montgomery after what happened to him the other night, 191 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: going to Baltimore. Dante Fowler going already a pretty stacked 192 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: hop five pick rams team, a line that already has 193 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: in Dominican, Sue and Aaron Donald. Right, that's scary and 194 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: not too bad on offense either. And then haha, Clinton 195 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: Dick's going from Green Bay to Washington. Let's go. Let's 196 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: go around each one of you guys, just to kind 197 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: of kind of set up where we're at in the season, 198 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: kind of the midway point, coming off the bye week. 199 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: Normally we do this, we go around and I'll let 200 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: you guys give me a minute of what you think 201 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 1: about the last game. But let's kind of go around 202 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: the horn and each one of you give me a 203 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 1: minute on how you feel about this team now with 204 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: with you know, what they did with Cooper, what they 205 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: kind of did with Alexander, how you felt, how you 206 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: feel now, and how you kind of feel going into 207 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: the second half of the season. Dave, you start off 208 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: one minute. I mean, we haven't seen a game since 209 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: the last time we did this, So I feel the same, 210 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: but I feel optimistic that it can be better. I 211 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: think there's plenty of reason to believe that Amari Cooper. 212 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 1: You know, this passing game is not suddenly going to 213 00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: be one of the best five in the NFL. Let's 214 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: not ourselves. But it can be better. And to next point, 215 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't need to be a ton better. Same thing. 216 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: Fixing the offensive line, maybe going back to the technique 217 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: that they used in sixteen and seventeen can help them 218 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: protect act better. You're only a handful of plays away 219 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: from being functional, and you only need to be functional 220 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: to win when you're only allowing seventeen points a game. 221 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: So I'm not sold. I got to see it on 222 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: the field, but I'm at least optimistic that we will 223 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: see a better looking offense. Uh you know when they 224 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: finally play Tennessee, Kurt, you got a minute? Well, actually, 225 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: can you talk for more than twenty? Like it? You know, 226 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: we talked on our show about we still don't know 227 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: what this team is, you know, from especially from an 228 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: offensive standpoint, it's just been you know, they've struggled on 229 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 1: the road, they've been well at home, and what do 230 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: they got here? And I still don't think we know. Um, 231 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 1: I think the offensive line move may the coaching change 232 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: may pay off a bigger divot in right away than 233 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: the than the than Cooper deal, just because you've got 234 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: a free up. You know, there's more involved you. You 235 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: built this team around your offensive line and they just 236 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: haven't been up to snuff so far. So you would 237 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: hope that going back to I guess what they did before, 238 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: that that's an easier change, that they can find whatever 239 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: mojo they've been missing and get back to doing what 240 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: they've been doing, which is, you know, man handling people. 241 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: Nick you think you know, I mean that is well said, 242 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: and I think that the self diagnosis here is important. 243 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: And we talked about this earlier. I think it was 244 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: Dave's point. I'm going to steal it. It's very true. 245 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: You know, they told us that they didn't need a 246 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: number one receiver. Seven games later they went and traded 247 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: for a number one receiver. They've kind of made it 248 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: clear that this offensive line is great and it can 249 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: just kind of work and throw them out there and 250 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: they're fine, well, no, that's not the case. And they 251 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: showed that seven games into the season. So there's a 252 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: willingness to get better. There's a willingness to make some change. 253 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: And as easy as that sounds, that doesn't always happen. 254 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: And with with coaches, and the coaches are stubborn that 255 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: they're setting their ways. Sometimes this team's not setting their 256 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: ways right now. They're willing to make some changes. I 257 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: think he got to appreciate that. Like all of y'all 258 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: have said, we'll wait and see what happens. But I 259 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: don't think they need to be a lot better. They 260 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: need to be functional in the offense. Uh and get 261 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 1: down the field a little bit more and let your 262 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: best player go make plays. He was a non factor 263 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: in the last game. We're talking about Zeke Big Nate, 264 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: which you think, you know, I just really believe that. 265 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: You know, we started this thing two years ago and 266 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: we thought we were set. But we gave way all 267 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: our dbs and brought in some fresh dbs. Then we 268 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:46,839 Speaker 1: gave away wide receivers. Are we whatever circumstance wide receivers changed. Now? 269 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: We not only changed our dbs from last year, I've 270 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: only got three new ride receivers, a new offensive lineman 271 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: for as the left guard, and a new center. We 272 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: got a new officive line coach. You got a new 273 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: DV coach, you got a new wide receiver coach, and 274 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: we expect for all this to work. Well, guess what, 275 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: we don't fire the offensive line coach. You got another one, 276 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: and we expect for it to work. Okay, But man 277 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: here says, and I'm talking about Nick says, they're only 278 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: gonna take just a little bit more to get it done. 279 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:22,839 Speaker 1: But the NFCC red Skins go, it's a little bit 280 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: like two games ahead of us, and they have gotten 281 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: better on on on Clinton. What haha, Dicks. So my 282 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: my issue right now is not only do you have 283 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,719 Speaker 1: to change, but you have to change in a hurry. 284 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: I mean, starting this game. We can't. We can't have 285 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: once again. Hey, we're gonna work in Amari. We're gonna 286 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: it's gonna take us three games to get the offensive 287 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: line gone. It don't work that way. Man, I'm sorry, 288 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: I'm dad. You're You're twenty two seconds over. Hang on 289 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: before you get out, hang on, before you get out 290 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: of here. I got one more thing before we get 291 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: because this thing is bigger than I said. I got 292 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: one more thing. I got one more thing. Keep it 293 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: on the road, keep it on the road. I got 294 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: one question before. By the way, if you're out in 295 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: the area, this is a really cool setup. We've got 296 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: inflatables on the field. We're in Ford Center. Um, the 297 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 1: winds blowing out here, so they moved everything inside. We've 298 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: got Dak and Zeke coming up on deck after us, 299 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: and then they're showing a movie Cocode in Ford Center 300 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: after this. This is a really cool deal. So if 301 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: you're in the area, I thought it was nine I 302 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: thought it was nine thousand. But anyway, before we go 303 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: to break real quick, should you be encouraged that this 304 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: that this ownership and coaching staff is willing to make 305 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: moves and not just stand pat and realize that things 306 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: aren't okay. Donna spend a lot of time on it 307 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: because I want to. There's so many things to get into. 308 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: Or are you discouraged because like you some of you 309 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: guys have said you went into the season thinking you 310 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: would be good with all. Hey, we're good like we are, 311 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, we're blowing this thing 312 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: up a little bit halfway through the season. Are you 313 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: more encouraged you're discouraged. It's a double edged sword. I mean, yeah, 314 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: you talk. You know, Paul Alexander to coach is a 315 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: different technique than than what we're used to. And so 316 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: why did you think that was gonna work in the 317 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: in the off season? And you know, Nick and I 318 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: have said, you know, even going back to March in February, 319 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: there were guys on this team that had misgivings about that. 320 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: So why did you have that confidence in the first place. 321 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: Why did you need to see seven bad games to 322 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: think maybe we do need a wide receiver. So but 323 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: having said that, I at least have to give them 324 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: credit for recognizing that it's not working and not just 325 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: banging their head against the walls for nine more weeks 326 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: watching the same stuff over and over again. So yeah, 327 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's discouraging that I got to this point, 328 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: but at least they're trying to fix it. Yeah, and 329 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: you know, we were talking about it. It's easy to 330 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: look at the Golden Tape for a third and Amara 331 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: Cooper four one and oh my god, the Cowboys. You 332 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: know what did they give up? That? That was the 333 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: market value. That's what the market value was for Amara Cooper. 334 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: There was other teams that with the same record as 335 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: the Cowboys that were offering a first round pick. There 336 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: was about five teams offering us around pick. They wanted 337 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: the twenty four year old wide receiver to get in 338 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: here and and to see what it can happen this 339 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: year and also having for the future. They're trying to 340 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: help Dak. They're also trying to help the coaching staff 341 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: and say, let's give you some help right now. So 342 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: you know, I think that that's you know, I hope 343 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: that's what everyone else is. You know, it feels like 344 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: not Nate, Well, that's okay, it's kind of mic. I mean, 345 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: I mean, jump in their Nate. You know. That's my point. 346 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: You you, you and I and this is my main 347 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: This is what I've maintained and I'll stick to it. 348 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: When you have less players and what I mean, when 349 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: you have no playmakers, that's when your coaches should be 350 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: their best at creating and helping a player. Now, all 351 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: you gotta do is get the ball to Amari, because 352 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: what he gonna do is make every team be honest. 353 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: Amari's gonna get the number one corner and as we 354 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: go down to the second receiver, third receiver, by the 355 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: time we get the cold Beast, we may have a 356 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: linebacker or safety trying to stick him, and we know 357 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: that ain't gonna work. All you gotta do is get 358 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 1: the ball, So Amari, you know all you gotta do 359 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: is catch it and this thing balances out. So what 360 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: was the reaction for? What was the reaction for? Just now? Like, 361 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,719 Speaker 1: what was different than what I just said? No, no, 362 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: I just said I just tried. I was going off 363 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: the stage and this dude called me back. Yeah, yeah, 364 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: I got you happy out? Are you? Are you? You're 365 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 1: gonna get some fan questions, right yea, I'm gonna get 366 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: some fan questions because me and Nick about to go 367 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: at it and and I don't think he will win. Ye, Kurt, 368 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: Before we take it the break, Nick's gonna I mean, 369 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 1: Nate's gonna go get us some questions from some fans. 370 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: You optimistic, pessimistic? What do you think I'm optimistic? I 371 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: have to admit I'm a little disappointed, and like um 372 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: today was saying that what happened this offseason, I mean 373 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: I almost filmed some ways Garrett was set up to 374 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: fail with the number of coaching changes that were made. 375 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just a tough that's just tough to overcome. 376 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: You You change out everybody pretty much except the offensive 377 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: cord and defensive coordinator. I mean that's a lot. And 378 00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: then you know what you try to do with your 379 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: beavers didn't work. How many of your free agents have 380 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: come in, How many of them made a huge impact there? 381 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: I mean they've been good, some good role players, but 382 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. At this point, I think 383 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,239 Speaker 1: you have to be a little disappointed because they are 384 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: having to make moves. Yeah, that said, I am encouraged. 385 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm excited to have Cooper. I feel like 386 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: we've got next year's number one pick now already and 387 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: you can use him. So I think that's a great move. 388 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: Obviously Alexander wouldn't working out. Why stick with him? You know, 389 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: if the players aren't responding. So it's encouraging that regard, 390 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 1: and from a fan perspective, you at least have to appreciate, Hey, 391 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: we're not they're not standing path, they're not just halfway 392 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 1: through the season. Goal. Well, let's focus on next year, 393 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: let's try to go back. Pressure is on big time 394 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: because if you don't win and you struggle. The one 395 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: thing about twenty fifteen, the more they kept losing, the 396 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: more you're like well, they're going to get a great pick. 397 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: The more if you lose here and you struggle and 398 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,479 Speaker 1: you don't have that pick to hang your hat on. 399 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 1: Good point and knowing that Cooper's here and not really 400 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: helping you to that point, then help in the future. 401 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: Help in the future. But but for right now, there's 402 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: there's pressure to win right now. We have had a 403 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: long time to talk about this trade without watching I'm 404 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: Mark Cooper play football.

And ready. If the results 408 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: aren't there, it's not gonna be pretty for anybody, it 409 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: is not. But if they are there, it's gonna be 410 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: a lot of fun and there's gonna be a lot 411 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: of hope. So and it'll be totally worth it for 412 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: at least another week.

If 495 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: you would have picked him up with your number one 496 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: at eighteen, we wouldn't even be looking at receivers now. 497 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: Like Amari Cooper disagree, I disagree. I don't think. I 498 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: don't think that's the case. I think this passing game 499 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 1: is built differently. I think the Falcons offense is differently, 500 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: and if Ridley was here, uh, he would be probably 501 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: the best receiver on the team. That is certainly not 502 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: the case with the Falcons. Uh. So, I think he's 503 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: in a good situation and he's doing some some some 504 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: nice things. But I don't think that offense is built 505 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 1: the same. So I don't have Matt Ryan throwing to him, 506 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: you know, based off this event. I was gonna let 507 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: you say that, but but that's true. That's true, And 508 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: I think, you know what, Dak would be the first 509 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: one to tell you, he's not he's not there. He's 510 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: not winning the MVP, he's not got the Super Bowl 511 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: right now, He's not there yet in the passing game 512 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: as a as a passer. So I just think it's different. 513 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if necessarily Ridley would have come in 514 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: and done the exact same thing Charty. We'll find out 515 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: because they're asking I'm already to do some criticize my 516 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: last question, what makes Amari Cooper to man that that 517 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: that's fair? I mean, that's certainly fair that what you said. 518 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: Though here's here's what's unique about that. They're about eight 519 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: months apart in age, and one of them has had 520 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: two Pro Bowl years and two, you know, a thousand 521 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: yards season, so he's a little bit more proven and 522 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: still young. Uh. That's that's the difference there. But but 523 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: fair question really is because because they saw that. But okay, 524 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: but who's to say they don't go and try to 525 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: trade for a young linebacker because they needed a line 526 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: to draft in Vanderesh especially, I think that And and 527 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: you're you're absolutely right, Calvin Ridley's playing great. He's in 528 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: a good situation, but he looks he looks like a 529 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: stud um. Dj Moore, for that matter, had a ninety 530 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: yard day for the Panthers the other day, another guy 531 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: the Cowboys could have drafted. But Layton Vanderesh is leading 532 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: this team in tackles. He's averaging eight per game as 533 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: a rookie. I think he's a big part of the 534 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 1: reason why this defense can function without Sean Lee. Um, 535 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: so I can't kill him for that pick. And and 536 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: also Dave did a story on the site that's up 537 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: right now. They kind of re ranked the top ten 538 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: first round draft picks that were that were picked this year. 539 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 1: Ridley was up there high, right, he was. I mean, 540 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: but vander Esh is as well, and he was picked nineteen. 541 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: So either they're both they're both having really good years. 542 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: The joy of the draft is there's any number of 543 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: ways that can play out. I think it probably would 544 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 1: have been good either way. I can't knock him for that. 545 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: And then it, you know, the Cooper things, a gamble, 546 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: that's what trades are. We'll see, you know, is he 547 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: gonna be the two time Pro bowler or is he 548 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: gonna be the guy whose numbers have slipped over the 549 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 1: last two years. And the only time's gonna tell not 550 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: only the joy of the draft, but the joy of 551 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: sports in general, is you didn't take this guy because 552 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 1: you took that guy. Well, all these dominoes fell a 553 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: certain way because things played out back during the season 554 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: last year. And you're right, I don't You can't knock 555 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,959 Speaker 1: the vander Esh you know, pick, because you needed that. 556 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 1: You know, if you would have taken Ridley, there would 557 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: have been something else wrong that you would have said, hey, 558 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: you know, maybe you should have gotten this guy. So 559 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: that's what makes sports so great is they really wanted 560 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: Paxton Lynch and you know him, they wouldn't have drafted 561 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: him back in the fourth round. Calvin Ridley, I don't 562 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,199 Speaker 1: believe has started a game yet in the NFL, and 563 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: that just speaks to the embarrassment of riches that the 564 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: Falcons have. I mean, they got an MVP quarterback. I 565 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: know Devanta Freeman is hurt, but they got two stud 566 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 1: running backs. They got Julio, they have Mohammed Sanu, who's 567 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 1: arguably a top five, number two receiver in the league 568 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 1: right now. So Calvin Ridley is in a great spot. 569 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: And in a couple of years we'll be talking about 570 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup. Absolutely, but you know, great deal the Cowboys did. 571 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup has been a guy. You know, he's he's 572 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: come on in the last couple of weeks, but he 573 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: has not looked like a guy who was ready to 574 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: step in and be a starting wide receiver from the 575 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: get And I wonder if Calvin Ridley was the best 576 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 1: receiver on his roster instead of the third best receiver. 577 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: I wonder if you'd be doing quite as well. Obviously 578 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,239 Speaker 1: we'll never know, but it's at least wondering. And if 579 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: you're Atlanta and we're all on a podcast in Atlanta 580 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 1: and you are talking about that kind of talent and 581 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: your team is still three and four, can you imagine 582 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: how frustrated you are as a fan of that team. Man, 583 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: it's a strange lady there. You got a strange lady. Hey, 584 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: what you got out there? I got I've been asked 585 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: to uh make announcement on you all this time. Okay, 586 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: anybody autograph from dak a Zeke will have the line 587 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: up over here. The young man is giving out tickets. 588 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: He will stop giving out tickets at five Old Cloud? 589 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: What happened this place? The building? Just lea, But I do. 590 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: I do have a guy here, one from Wiley. He 591 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: has a pretty good questions about tight endy one. How 592 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: are you hello? How's it going? Great? Man? So I 593 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: had a quick question over about the tight end situation. 594 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: I know y'all have a like four tight ends on 595 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: the roster that are doing a decent or a good job. Okay, 596 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: I was wondering since you traded for a receiver. Why also, 597 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: didn't you acquire a tight end or trade for a 598 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: tight end? Not a bad question. What do you guys think? 599 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: I think my aunt is really nice. I mean, first 600 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: of all, I mean, yeah, you're to this point. You know. 601 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: I love Jeff Swam. I think he's done a solid job. 602 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: But nobody's forgetting about Jason Witten based on the way 603 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: these tight ends have played. And I certainly think when 604 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: the draft rolls around, it'll be need number one or 605 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: it's certainly one of the two or three biggest needs 606 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: on this team. But the thing is, the Cowboys love 607 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: to draft. Like we've seen that over the last six years. 608 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to speak for people, but 609 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: we were all pretty shocked that they were even willing 610 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: to trade for Amari Cooper, right, That is how much 611 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: value they put on their draft picks. So they've already 612 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: gotten rid of one of those for a wide receiver, 613 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: and I just I can't imagine them limiting themselves anymore 614 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: in the draft by doing a trade like that. Yeah, 615 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: what they could get for what they had, you know, 616 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: a late round pick, I mean, would that guy be 617 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: any better than what they have now? Exactly I'm sure 618 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: that they looked. I'm sure that they were looking to 619 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: see what was out there available, but it just didn't 620 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: work out for a trade. Like in the two thousand 621 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: nineteen draft, I think like a good pick would be 622 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: the tight end from Iowa fan. Yeah, he's a good play. 623 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 1: Where is he? Where is he gonna rate? You know? Fall? 624 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I never know what tight end you get 625 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: to the second round. It's hey, it's hard to say 626 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: because what Dallas Scott or the guy the Eagles wound 627 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: up with. He was widely considered the best tight end 628 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: in that class and he went in the forties. So 629 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: tight end is a hard position to evaluate, especially in 630 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,479 Speaker 1: this day and age where college teams don't use him 631 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: to block that often. So which, honestly, I'm getting way 632 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: ahead of ourselves. Me personally, I don't even want to 633 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: draft a tight end. I want to sign one in 634 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: free agency, which I'm not trying to get a guy 635 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: to learn on the run like we you know, like 636 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup or like a wide receiver. I'd rather pay 637 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: a little bit more money for a veteran who knows 638 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: how the NFL game works. You can I ask it 639 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: a probably obvious question, is the production you're getting from 640 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: our tighting as a group that much worse than what 641 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: Whitten would have given you at age thirty eight or whatever. Probably? Probably, 642 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 1: I think it's a little more consistent. I just think 643 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: of the play. You know, Blake Jarwin especially, I hate 644 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: to kill the guy, but I can think of Oh, 645 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: don't worry, Kurt already killed him today on our show interview. 646 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: He you know, Garrett Jason. Garrett loves to say it's 647 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: not too big for him. He's he loves to say 648 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: that about young two players. But it has looked too 649 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: big for Blake Jarwin at times this year. US Jeff 650 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: Swayne has been solid um and and honestly, I admire 651 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: the work that he does as a blocker. I think, 652 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: you know, I don't think the drop off has been 653 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,959 Speaker 1: that significant in that regard, but it hasn't been as 654 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: consistent in the passing game. No. I mean, I think 655 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: when you look at that position, you're you're starting backwards 656 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: and going forward. I mean, you've got your backups here. 657 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: I think Swain would be a really good too. I'd 658 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: like to see the progression out of Rico. I still 659 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: don't think you have that that one tight end though. 660 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: That's like when he's on the field, maybe you're passing, 661 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: maybe you're running. Because he's he's a dual tight end, 662 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: the best tight end in the building Monday night is 663 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: going to be well what what? What? That's true? Yeah, 664 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: So to answer you a question, just trust He trust 665 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: with more so than these guys here, and could could 666 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: could Swain be a solid number one? He's done pretty 667 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: much everything they've asked him. He's stepped up his receptions 668 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: this year. We all know he's really good in the 669 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: in the run game, blocking. I mean, is it just 670 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: that they haven't incorporated him enough? Could he be that? 671 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: I don't know how one. I don't know how much 672 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: else you want to incorporate him, because he's played like 673 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: ninety four percent of the snaps this year. I mean 674 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: it's not like he's not getting on the field. I 675 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: just think, Yeah, I mean, trust is an issue, Versatility's 676 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: probably an issue. I definitely I don't think Jeff Swain 677 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: is a bad player. Depending on the price he's in 678 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: a contractor year he's a twenty fifteen draft pick, I 679 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: would definitely try to bring him back the way they 680 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: did with James Hannah. A couple of years ago. It 681 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: just depends on how it shakes. Hey, you got somebody new. 682 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: Oh no, it's still a guy from Wiley. Thank you 683 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: for your time. Yeah, hey, you're welcome. Man, Thank thank 684 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: you for coming out. We appreciate him. I wasn't trying 685 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: were like, you got somebody else. I'm just the only 686 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: person in this building I'm mean to is Kurt. Yeah, thanks, 687 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: it's fair. I'm so glad. I'm here, me too, Kurt, 688 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: Im glad you showed up. But real quick, you know, 689 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: we're talking about swain Um from an injury standpoint. I mean, 690 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: he was banked up pretty good in that in that 691 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: Washington game. I think it's gonna be uh fifty fifty 692 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: whether or not he plays in this one. But but 693 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: you find out a lot about what's going on based 694 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: off of I mean, they do have four tight ends, 695 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: so they're not gonna go sign the tight end if 696 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: he's if he's banked up, I think, but um, well, 697 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: let these guys play and let him find out what 698 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: the guy Yeah, who who is? Who's watched? That's easy 699 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: to say, easy to say unless you're the one of 700 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: the you know, we're like, hey, we gotta win. Dalton Schultz, 701 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,959 Speaker 1: go chip Harold Landry and keep dak on his on 702 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: his feet, please, and then who that knows what's gonna happen. 703 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: How does that if just say, hypothetically Swain can't make 704 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,479 Speaker 1: this next game, what does that look like? What does 705 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: the tight end position look like? Who's getting the majority 706 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: of those snaps? I think Rico gathers starts. Do you yeah, 707 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: the Rico project? Finally maybe, Okay, let's see who's your 708 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: best blocker. It's a great question. I think you're hill. 709 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: Do you who makes more plays down the field? I 710 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: think it's him. I mean, who's the one guy that 711 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: really scares you at that position? Being able to catch 712 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: the ball? Scared? What could scare you? You watch the team. 713 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: I have seen him make plays down the field. I 714 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: have not thought you were other guys to get down. 715 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: I mean he's got some shortcomings there too, But I mean, 716 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: but they all do. They all do. And that's one 717 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 1: of the reasons why he stayed on the team is 718 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 1: because nobody really separated and it's a position of you know, together, 719 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 1: I think they have a great they'd be a great tide, dude, 720 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 1: but they all do their own thing. Now, Schultz didn't 721 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: make a few plays at the end of that Red 722 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: Skin game and um, yeah, Rico, what what game was 723 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 1: it where Rico had his catch? Was it Houston? Houston? Yeah? 724 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: And Jacksonville. They have they have done a good job 725 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: of scheming things for these guys. I'm sorry. And he 726 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: had that awesome catch in the Hall of Fame game 727 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: like I've seen him do it. Dave got got another 728 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 1: question for us, Yes, I got Miss Nita here from 729 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 1: Frisco has a question about the greatness of Jason Garrett. Yeah. 730 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 1: I think Jason Garrett is an awesome coach. I just 731 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 1: was wondering if you compared his strategy of and plays 732 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: two previous Cowboy coaches, who is he the closest to 733 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 1: our historian come compare him? Well, I mean you could 734 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: say Chan Gailey. Chan Gailey was an offensive guy. He 735 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 1: came in here and he and he went to the 736 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: play Now he went to the playoffs. Is two years 737 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: that was? That was there? And I think chan Gailey 738 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: is a reason why Jason Garrett has been here as 739 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,479 Speaker 1: long as he has, because, uh, Jerry has come back 740 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 1: and said that he regrets that move to let him 741 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: go after two seasons of making the playoffs two straight 742 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 1: years and he regrets that. So I think he's had 743 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: a little bit longer leashed to try to develop some 744 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 1: some uh um, you know, rapport with the staff and 745 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 1: then in the in the scouting department and all that 746 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. So if we're going to just compare, 747 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: I think it would be maybe Chan that's awesome. I 748 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: think he's a great coach. Uh He's his strategies seem 749 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: to be right on, especially on fourth downs, whether to 750 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: still go for it or not. And I'm glad he's 751 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: a coach. Okay, all right. That opinion isn't shared by everyone. 752 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 1: We know that. I mean we know that that. A 753 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,760 Speaker 1: lot of people are probably thinking that I don't agree 754 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: with that, and that's that's the case. I mean, it's 755 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: it's been fifty fifty and that's looking at the at 756 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,280 Speaker 1: the record, he's been a little bit over that. Um. 757 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: But but I would imagine that just about every team 758 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 1: in the league that doesn't win game, if they feel 759 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,959 Speaker 1: like that the game wasn't managed right by the coach. 760 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's normal. The thing about it, what 761 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,800 Speaker 1: people don't realize is when they win games, it's managed 762 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: pretty well. But no one talks about that. That guy 763 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: just made the field goal. They just went seventy yards, 764 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 1: he made the field goal. They managed it right. No 765 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 1: one really talks about that until it's not managed right. Right? 766 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: How much that he just turned up. Now that they've 767 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,359 Speaker 1: made these moves, I think it's big time. I mean, 768 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: Jerry's making these moves to try to help the quarterback, 769 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: try to help the head coach, try to help the staff. 770 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 1: We'll try to you know, I'm going all in here. 771 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 1: I mean, the chips are at the table, let's go. 772 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: Not only that, but the NFC East is not great 773 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: this year, um, and they all tried to get better, 774 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,439 Speaker 1: except for the Giants, who's trying to get worse. Which 775 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you're to get better next year, right, 776 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 1: You're what you're You're a game and a half or 777 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,399 Speaker 1: two games behind Washington and you still get to play them. 778 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it's all out there in front of you, 779 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 1: the Eagles twice. If it doesn't work out, it'll be 780 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 1: interesting to see, will be interesting to see. Oh, McFadden, 781 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 1: I got Julio from Dallas. He has a question that 782 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 1: a lot of fans are wondering. All right, all gentlemen, 783 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,800 Speaker 1: so you keep bringing a star players, you know, first 784 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 1: round picks. Um you had Witten for fifteen years, you 785 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 1: got Romo, you have a Class A line, but you 786 00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: still have the same coordinator offense, same head coach, and 787 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: you still finish eight and eight after eight years, which 788 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: playoff visits. I mean, what's the problem. I see the 789 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:16,760 Speaker 1: problems being on top, Kurt, what's the problem? Thanks Jannon? 790 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: So that to me, well, I mean, obviously we just 791 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 1: said Garrett's under a lot of heat, and I don't 792 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: know if it's the Obviously mister Jones likes him, They've 793 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 1: worked well together. He's I think from Monday to Saturday, 794 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: he's been outstanding and keeping the guys in line, you know, motivated. 795 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: He hasn't lost a team anything like that. He's just 796 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: he's gained criticism comes Sunday. And to Nick's point, I 797 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,239 Speaker 1: think that that mister Jones has lived this before, and 798 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 1: like you said, he regrets that decision and he's giving 799 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 1: coach Garrett every opportunity to win because he wants him 800 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,720 Speaker 1: to be successful. So yeah, and remember that most most 801 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: coaching searches that starts at the top. You get a 802 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 1: head coach and then you get your coordinators didn't happen 803 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,800 Speaker 1: like that. In two thousand and seven, they got Jason Garrett. 804 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 1: He wanted Jason Garrett to be the head coach of 805 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 1: this team. He wasn't ready to know seven, but he 806 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 1: felt like he would be eventually. And so he you know, 807 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,439 Speaker 1: he wants to win, but like most people, he wants 808 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 1: to win his way, and he's been trying. He's been 809 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,359 Speaker 1: trying to do this and and and he said he's 810 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 1: been very patient. And that's not hard for anyone to 811 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 1: do at any age, especially when as as Jerry talks 812 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,359 Speaker 1: about it, he knows that, you know, it's getting he's 813 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: getting up there. Of course, he wants to win now 814 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,879 Speaker 1: and he still feels like Jason Garrett is that guy. 815 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,839 Speaker 1: But he's given him all the resources here this year 816 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 1: to try to do it. I agree with you, but 817 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,759 Speaker 1: as a fan and paying you know, she didn't ticket prices, 818 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to keep going back and see 819 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:52,360 Speaker 1: the same yeah bys in the field. And this is 820 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 1: the first time versus Brad jam is a great announcer. 821 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 1: By the way, at the Houston game, I saw Jerry 822 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 1: for the first time in eight years, criticize the fourth 823 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: and one play. Yeah yeah, and that's the first time 824 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: I've seen him do that. It's it's all. It's like 825 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 1: a perfect storm, it really is. I was thinking about 826 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 1: this because you know, you know, the Cowboys changed their 827 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 1: their offensive line coach Paul Alexander, and every every Twitter 828 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 1: warrior in the world wants to say, well, well, you 829 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,800 Speaker 1: can fire him, but you can't fire Jason Garrett. Find 830 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 1: me the NFL team that's gonna make a head coaching 831 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,280 Speaker 1: change from a guy who has a career winning record 832 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 1: when he's one game below five hundred, Like, those types 833 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 1: of knee jerk reactions just don't happen. And it's it's 834 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 1: the same thing with Jason's Garrett Garrett's career. And you 835 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,879 Speaker 1: can criticize it or agree with it, I don't really care. 836 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 1: But there hasn't been the obvious moment where you, like, 837 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 1: you know, the Wade Phillips games, you lose by thirty 838 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 1: eight points to Green Bay to drop to one and seven. 839 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 1: Where where's that moment been For the Dallas Cowboys. Jason 840 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 1: Garrett has finished either at or above five hundred every 841 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,400 Speaker 1: year he's been here, with one notable exception when his 842 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 1: quarterback died in Week two and it's to your point, 843 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:09,320 Speaker 1: it's frustrating as a fan, it's frustrating. I'm ownership. It's frustrating. 844 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 1: You wittie it over and over, but it and I 845 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 1: can hear I can hear the snarky remarks already, Like 846 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 1: I'm not saying you should be content with mediocrity. I 847 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,319 Speaker 1: get that, but you you know, to go back to 848 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,839 Speaker 1: next point from earlier in the show, Jerry Jones might 849 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,440 Speaker 1: have regretted pulling the plug on Chan Gaily because two 850 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,719 Speaker 1: playoff appearances wasn't good enough. Well, the Cowboys have been 851 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,360 Speaker 1: on the cusp of accomplishing what they want to accomplish 852 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 1: several times with Jason Garrett, and it just creates the 853 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:39,240 Speaker 1: debate of whether you start over and maybe find something worse, 854 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 1: or you just plug away. Obviously, fans don't want the 855 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 1: Cowboys to keep plugging away. Jerry Jones hasn't seen enough 856 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 1: to change his mind. Let's get into the coach and change. 857 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 1: We haven't really touched on that yet, so let's take 858 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 1: a quick break, we come back, we'll wrap it up. 859 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 1: But I want to get your thoughts on why why now? 860 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 1: And do you think it's gonna make a difference and 861 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 1: how long is that difference gonna take to translate to 862 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 1: the field.

How that 922 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:10,200 Speaker 1: actually coach Nate back in the day. Um, how do 923 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:14,239 Speaker 1: you guess? How do you How do you guys feel 924 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,359 Speaker 1: about the coaching change? Good move, bad move? Timing? Just 925 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,360 Speaker 1: any of your thoughts on that I was timing surprised 926 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:21,560 Speaker 1: me a little bit. I don't know if we were 927 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 1: expecting it, but I'm glad they did it. I think, 928 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:27,319 Speaker 1: I mean, Alexander had the quote recently that said, uh, 929 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 1: some guys had changed, some guys were working on and 930 00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,120 Speaker 1: some guys weren't weren't changing. Yeah, it's laming to believe 931 00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,440 Speaker 1: that the players just weren't buying in and at that point, 932 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 1: and I'm not sure that they ever bought in, which 933 00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,120 Speaker 1: is kind of weird too, and and and that's and 934 00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 1: that's scary. Uh, you know, but to think, I mean, 935 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,120 Speaker 1: he had he has a lot of experience, but it 936 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: just didn't ever seem like a good fit. They're asking 937 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,600 Speaker 1: these guys to do things that you know, that that 938 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 1: they weren't used to. Um. But I think you know, 939 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 1: Mark Colombo has been here. He's a guy that that 940 00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,440 Speaker 1: will probably have a he has to have a few 941 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,200 Speaker 1: changes or they wouldn't you know this move. But he 942 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,880 Speaker 1: was one of the grittiest players that have ever you know, 943 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 1: played offensive line. Uh just just was a warrior. And 944 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:10,840 Speaker 1: I think that he'll he'll get the most out of 945 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,400 Speaker 1: these guys. I hope, so at least I'm sure can 946 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 1: help that. Is that a concern at all? Because they 947 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:18,840 Speaker 1: had an old technique last year? He brought in a 948 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,759 Speaker 1: new guy that had his technique, which obviously didn't work. 949 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:23,320 Speaker 1: Now you've got another new guy. Is he going to 950 00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 1: have new technique that you I mean, Well, the good 951 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,960 Speaker 1: thing here is that that Mark was on this staff 952 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:29,799 Speaker 1: for the last thing. It'll just revert back to what 953 00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 1: it was, I would hope, So I hope. So, I 954 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 1: don't know. I think it'll be I think it'll be 955 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,080 Speaker 1: a positive development. But again going back to what I 956 00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 1: said earlier, I've never played line, neither of you. What 957 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,879 Speaker 1: about the guy that how do you feel about this name? Hey? 958 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,400 Speaker 1: I agree with everything y'all saying. What what Colombo is 959 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:51,319 Speaker 1: going to bring is that toughness our offensive line. The 960 00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,880 Speaker 1: games that we have lost have been a virtually dominated 961 00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,320 Speaker 1: We have lost our physicalness and this is what huss 962 00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:02,640 Speaker 1: and Hall he he puts a preim on being physically, mentally, mentally, physically, 963 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 1: mentally tough, and physically dominated. He has those type We 964 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 1: had those type of players. That's what Mark Colombo is. 965 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 1: He wasn't a great athlete, but he was gritty, he 966 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:17,239 Speaker 1: was tough, he was a great technician. And that's what 967 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,239 Speaker 1: this offensive line is gonna return back into Nate. Do 968 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,920 Speaker 1: you see are we gonna see a difference in in 969 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,640 Speaker 1: this in this offensive line? And if we do, how 970 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,360 Speaker 1: long is it gonna take for us to see a difference. 971 00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna take muscle memory. Each guy has 972 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:36,520 Speaker 1: it in their own way and punching. It's what they 973 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,800 Speaker 1: did for three years, punching everybody except to care from Texas. 974 00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,520 Speaker 1: Now he you know, it may take a minute to 975 00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,960 Speaker 1: break him. But all three, all four, they got other guys. 976 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,880 Speaker 1: They know this technique and they know this system. And 977 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:53,200 Speaker 1: what huss and Hawker do is just give our new 978 00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,360 Speaker 1: offensive line coach some guidelines to go buy some things 979 00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,759 Speaker 1: that he can base this thing on. We're gonna be 980 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:03,520 Speaker 1: all right. I just I mean, I just want to 981 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,640 Speaker 1: know if it was so obvious, why did they do 982 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,000 Speaker 1: it in the first place, Like if if it's me 983 00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,160 Speaker 1: and you both. If the answer is so obvious, why 984 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,480 Speaker 1: they make that. The thing that I'm interested in seeing 985 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 1: is something you've heard time and time again, especially after 986 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:19,200 Speaker 1: road games. Offensive line, receivers, running back, they've all said it, 987 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,440 Speaker 1: we got to get better at communication. I wonder if 988 00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:23,960 Speaker 1: that communication had to do with offensive line and if 989 00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:25,920 Speaker 1: this is gonna make a difference there. I think, I 990 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,239 Speaker 1: really do think they'll be better. I just again, it's 991 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 1: it's weird that it even had to get to this point. 992 00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna find it'll be better. We're gonna find out. 993 00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,520 Speaker 1: I mean, we know that missing Travis Frederick was a lot, 994 00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,120 Speaker 1: but we're gonna find out even more. But yeah, I mean, 995 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,280 Speaker 1: but I mean quietly, Joe Looney is a bright spot 996 00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,840 Speaker 1: for this team. In my hand, he has played. You know, 997 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:45,719 Speaker 1: I had no disrespect to the guy. He's played a 998 00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:47,400 Speaker 1: lot better than I thought he was. Got about a 999 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,560 Speaker 1: minute left run more of what we've seen in this 1000 00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,879 Speaker 1: season in the second half. Or do you think this 1001 00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 1: team is gonna be a little bit better in the 1002 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,640 Speaker 1: second half of the first I think it'll be slightly better. 1003 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,279 Speaker 1: The problem is, you know you've already dug yourself a 1004 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:02,839 Speaker 1: little bit of a hole. You're three and four, your 1005 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,759 Speaker 1: two games back in the division. Is that good enough? 1006 00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,560 Speaker 1: But you're saying there's a chance. All right, look at 1007 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,719 Speaker 1: this division, Kurt better. Definitely, I'm excited. I like what 1008 00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,879 Speaker 1: Cooper can do. I hopefully do ye and I think, yeah, 1009 00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,279 Speaker 1: they're gonna get bed Nick sounds good. Just winning on 1010 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,239 Speaker 1: a different area code. You gotta win on the road, Nate, 1011 00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,600 Speaker 1: more of the same, or I'm rolling with my guys 1012 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 1: man all Star casts. I'm rolling with them. Let's go, Hey, Nate, 1013 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 1: appreciate you work in the crowd. Man seek nixt baby, 1014 00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:34,640 Speaker 1: come on. Dave plays for hanging out, Kurt Nick, stay 1015 00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,160 Speaker 1: tuned for Dak and Zeke. This has been happy hour.
