<v Speaker 1>the day. Yes, because Mickey Spagnola will be joining us

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>momentarily after his fan hit next door Kik Garrison fan

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 1>hit the way he said, it's like he's over there

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>beating up fans or he's getting hit by one. Five

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>with some hard questions for this Cowboys team. Yeah, they

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:08.400
<v Speaker 1>need to get back to practice. They need to just

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>file that one away. Last Sunday against Indianapolis and hey,

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.039
<v Speaker 1>first shutout loss in fifteen years. It doesn't happen often.

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:20.400
<v Speaker 1>It can't happen again, right, No, it can't happen again.

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 1>You can't go through you know the same things that

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 1>happened to you in that football game. You know, a

0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 1>lot of it was let's see Dallas given that game away.

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.959
<v Speaker 1>But what I did see was Dallas physically getting beat up.

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 1>And I don't that's I haven't seen that really all

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>year from this football team. I haven't seen anybody just

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 1>beat them up. And that, you know, that's what I

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 1>think when they get back on the practice field today,

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 1>you know that's going to probably be their focus. Is

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, I always talking about execution and things of

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>this nature, but you know, how about playing with some physicality.

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>You could see that when we were in that walk

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 1>off with Jason Garrett, it stressed him. You know, I

0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>asked him to question about with your team physical enough,

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>and you know he could see he gritted his teeth

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>and said, no, we really weren't. And I think that's

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:09.920
<v Speaker 1>where he needs to try and focus first and foremost

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>on with his football team, is let's get back to

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 1>being a team that can be, you know, a dominant

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 1>team up front when it comes to defense and things

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 1>like that. So hopefully that'll be the that'll be the case.

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 1>They can't go through another one like that, for sure.

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Mickey Spagnola welcome, good Marning. How's everything going going well?

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Just talking about being physical. Hopefully they've got um a

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.920
<v Speaker 1>padded practice left where they can That's what Robin I

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>were talking about, and get out there and knock some heads.

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 1>They got any left, it's close because there's yeah, I

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>think we're down to like he was trying to save

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 1>a couple. I think there was one Wednesday where they

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>went out there and it might have been after that

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 1>three game stretch stretch, the stretch and and he I

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.920
<v Speaker 1>think he was trying to save one or two for

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.640
<v Speaker 1>that for that day. I think I don't think they'll

0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.359
<v Speaker 1>have a And they talked about having really good practices

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 1>last week, you know on the defensive side of the ball.

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Clayton vander esh and Jalen Smith both said that, yeah,

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe the best practice they've had all year. They used

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 1>one last week for sure. Yeah, yep. And you only

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 1>get thirteen, is that right? I don't know the exact number.

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.639
<v Speaker 1>I know he always tries to save. He'll be grateful

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 1>if they could get this thing into the playoffs that

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 1>we'll get one more. You know, every time you get

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.920
<v Speaker 1>back in you get another practice. So and you have

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.519
<v Speaker 1>that weird stretch with back to back Thursday games where

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 1>you're probably not using them anyway right because of the schedule.

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 1>But you can't save them all to the end either.

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 1>You have to use so many by a certain amount

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 1>of ton It's ridiculous, right. I think the coaches know

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 1>their team and know when they can carry pads in

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>practice and when they can't. I'm okay with the one

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 1>a week if that's what you want to do, But

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 1>how about giving me sixteen. I gotta play sixteen games?

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Why can't I have sixteen? That part doesn't make sense.

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>But I gathering TV of the NFLPA wave their flag

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>and say, hey, we won one there. We don't have

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>to put pads on every week. What was the biggest

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 1>issue is physicality in that game. I don't think I

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.600
<v Speaker 1>don't think it was execution. I think that the coach

0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 1>they got beat on both lines. Yeah, that's that's where

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 1>I was the troubling thing that that's exactly what it is.

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:18.280
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't then making mistakes. I don't think it was

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:22.239
<v Speaker 1>their inability to really control both sides of the ball.

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I think I mean, I think Jason said it, we couldn't.

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.720
<v Speaker 1>They didn't get off block Yeah, they were getting blocked. Now,

0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe the Indianapolis offensive line is that good. They're not

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.599
<v Speaker 1>frauds uh, and they're not going to call I'm fraud.

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 1>And then and then and then the offensive line you know,

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.560
<v Speaker 1>just wasn't consistent. And yeah, that's true. You gotta put

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:45.039
<v Speaker 1>that behind. We'll put it behind. The tape, burned the tape.

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Lawrence said, they hit us in the mouth. They

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 1>did squarely in the mouth. And you know, they've got

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 1>to return the favor against Tampa Bay this Sunday. You

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 1>mentioned physical. They've played in some really physical ball games,

0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 1>like the ones that stand out to me this year Houston.

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Houston was bloodbath and that Saints game was a fight. Yeah,

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:08.160
<v Speaker 1>physical like guys flying around hitting each other. Probably the

0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 1>best tackling game they've had. Yeah, I mean they got

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.359
<v Speaker 1>after when it came to tackling. And and yeah, I

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 1>mean there were there's some fronts that they've had to

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.880
<v Speaker 1>play that have been been tough, but they've they you know,

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.559
<v Speaker 1>they've stood in there, Todd toe Like we've talked about

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 1>this on a bunch in the show. Defense has carried

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>this football team all year. The questions we've had have

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:33.200
<v Speaker 1>been offensively yep, and and and if going into Oxen,

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 1>hard I would have I would have said the opposite,

0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, because there was too many unknowns on you. Yeah,

0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 1>there are too man unknowns on But I should have

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.760
<v Speaker 1>seen the receiver by committee. Thing that pisses me off

0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 1>as I think about it right now. It started to

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:52.640
<v Speaker 1>unfold in Oxnard though, because defense, because the defense started

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 1>covering those guys. Yeah, yeah, they were winning a lot

0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:57.280
<v Speaker 1>and team drills out there, well they made it, they

0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.480
<v Speaker 1>made a switch. But yeah, I think the physical I

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.960
<v Speaker 1>think you'll see a much different cowboy team off the

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 1>jump this week. I think I think you. I think

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 1>that I guarantee you when you guys have the locker

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:12.680
<v Speaker 1>room sessions that it'll be the physicality. The word physicality

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 1>will come back into play. You'll you'll hear that with

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 1>a bunch today. I heard one of the I guess

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 1>he's a hot boy in the in the dining room,

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:27.719
<v Speaker 1>uh to yesterday Tuesday, right all I heard him say

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:32.479
<v Speaker 1>to somebody that ain't happening again. Yeah, so they knew,

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 1>they sure, Yeah, they are the first ones to know.

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 1>By No, we don't need to point it out right.

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 1>They know we got a big show today. We got

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot to cover. Five to two ninety seven is

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:46.920
<v Speaker 1>the number if you'd like to join us over the

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 1>next hour. We've got bucks to look at, We've got

0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:57.679
<v Speaker 1>injuries on this roster, and let's start with some news

0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 1>of the day. What happen today, Well, what happened last night?

0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.880
<v Speaker 1>The Pro Bowl got announced? Mick, Yes, it did, you're right.

0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Break it down for us. Who's in Cowboys had five guys, yes,

0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 1>selected Tyran Smith, Zack Martin, Zeko Elliott, DeMarcus Lawrence, and

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Byron Jones for the first times too. Tyrn. I believe

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 1>that's his sixth selection. Yes, that ties him for the

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:32.400
<v Speaker 1>second most Pro Bowl selections of offensive lineman and Cowboys

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:36.880
<v Speaker 1>history with John Niland, Nate Newton, and Rayfield. Right here

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 1>we go. The ultimately guy that's had more is Larry Allen. Yeah,

0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:44.840
<v Speaker 1>and I believe it was ten or eleven. It's eleven. Yeah,

0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I think you're right. So everybody wanted to point out Rayfield, right,

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:52.240
<v Speaker 1>but they forgot Nate and they forgot John Nilan. Oh absolutely.

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 1>John Allen was really good too, by the way. Yeah,

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 1>back in the day when I was watching him play,

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Can I say Septing real quick. Yeah about that, I

0:07:58.120 --> 0:07:59.560
<v Speaker 1>mean we all kind of put up on the board

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 1>who we thought. I didn't have Tyron Smith on the board,

0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 1>but I had Layton Vanderesh, but I had everybody else, right,

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 1>but I had those two. I didn't have Tyrn Smith

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.600
<v Speaker 1>as being one of the guys. You forgot one thing.

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 1>What was that? Welcome to the NFL rookie. Yeah, it

0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.320
<v Speaker 1>also happened to that guy in Indianapolis who's playing really well,

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Darius Leonard. I think I only saw one Ricky selected well.

0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 1>The Derwin James Dwin James Derwin James is Yeah, he's

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 1>played with Barley. Yeah, yeah, so that Yeah, you're right

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.080
<v Speaker 1>about the rookie stuff. I just I just kind of

0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 1>thought that those two guys would get opportunities. Well here

0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to talk about snubs here, Robert trying to

0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 1>say that if you, you know, if you if you

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:44.960
<v Speaker 1>had to say Kate Brian and of the list you had,

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 1>who would you have had on and who would you

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>had off? I don't think I would have had Tyrn

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Smith on and I would have had Layton Vandersh on.

0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Who would you had instead of Tyron? I was just

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 1>talking about the Cowboy. No, no, but see, and that's

0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:58.439
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying because yeah, I just was not seeing

0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 1>every single offensive tackle playing this This was not the

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 1>best year for Tyrn not get it. Yeah, but okay,

0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.560
<v Speaker 1>so tell me you know, and I think the names

0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.800
<v Speaker 1>out there were floating around was Whitworth from the Ring

0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah he got snubbed two and ram Check from the

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Saint and he got snubbed as well. Those are two

0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:19.079
<v Speaker 1>good ones. Williams did he play? He didn't even play

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 1>the Trent Williams has been in and out of the lineups.

0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.720
<v Speaker 1>He's been much like with Tyron Smith. But yeah, I

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.320
<v Speaker 1>mean it's a lot of that was reputation there. I

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.800
<v Speaker 1>believe there's Okay, so let me let me pick this

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:33.880
<v Speaker 1>bone on on the linebacker thing. Yeah, so they came up.

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.200
<v Speaker 1>They finally got it kind of right. Like they got

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:41.679
<v Speaker 1>inside linebackers right and outside linebackers. So Keithley and Wagner,

0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.480
<v Speaker 1>you knew that's what's going to happen inside right, right,

0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:48.400
<v Speaker 1>So outside linebackers usually are reserved for guys that have

0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:52.240
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of sacks, right, So Khalil Mack had ten sacks,

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna make it right. Pretty good. Kerrigan nine sacks.

0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how well he's played other than that,

0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 1>but he's got nine sacks. Reputation, No Kerrigan's yea. If

0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Karrikin gets a sack, I think he's had ten or

0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>more sacks, like six straight years. So everybody knows about everybody. Yeah, absolutely,

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Barr. Somebody's gonna have to explain to me how

0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 1>they voted for Anthony Barr. He's only played eleven games. Yeah,

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:22.120
<v Speaker 1>he only has three sacks. And you know what his

0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:26.480
<v Speaker 1>grand total of tackles are forty nine. That's a hundred

0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:32.400
<v Speaker 1>less less than vander is one hundred who voted for him.

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Reputation What reputation? Yeah, he has a reputation as a

0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.720
<v Speaker 1>good player in the league. I just said, welcome to

0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 1>the Pro Bowl. Rookie. Yeah, all I know, but usually

0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 1>you got to have two good years in a row

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.679
<v Speaker 1>to make it the first time. So that's a rookie.

0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:51.520
<v Speaker 1>But Anthony Barr was there not somebody else they played

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:55.679
<v Speaker 1>better as an outside linebacker. Well, they don't tell us

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:57.560
<v Speaker 1>the alternates for the Pro Bowl, but I would be

0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 1>shocked if Vanderesh wasn't at least in wrong consideration. There

0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Smith too. Both had good years. Um, and there's

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:06.960
<v Speaker 1>no shame in missing the Pro Bowl. If you look

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.880
<v Speaker 1>at the NFC and Alvin Kamara does not make it,

0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:13.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what they need and McCaffrey doesn't make it,

0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:16.839
<v Speaker 1>that's a big snub, right. So which one of those

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:22.760
<v Speaker 1>running backs would you have taken off? Well? Maybe Barkley

0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.360
<v Speaker 1>he's played really well. He has played really well. Rush.

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:28.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying I'm not taking Girly off and I'm

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.120
<v Speaker 1>not taking Zeke off. So if you've got to take

0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:33.760
<v Speaker 1>one off, get the rookie. Maybe the rookie. But he's

0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:37.280
<v Speaker 1>he's deserving as well. It's just it's just a loaded group.

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's he's he's third in rushing and second

0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:46.400
<v Speaker 1>in from How about what's his receptions leading he has

0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 1>more than I think he has more than Zeke. Yeah,

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's a more receiving yards. You know McCaffrey's

0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 1>got almost one hundred catches. Yeah. Um, But you know

0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 1>this linebacker thing. We when Brady James was here, it

0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.440
<v Speaker 1>was the same thing. He never made it because he

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.960
<v Speaker 1>was going up against Patrick Willis and there's two spots

0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.719
<v Speaker 1>and then it's the outside linebacker stuff. You've got three

0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>four defenses who were have pass rushers and it's a

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 1>sack thing all of a sudden, get it, you know

0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 1>how it is. But Anthony Barr with three sacks? Yeah, okay,

0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.760
<v Speaker 1>well let's focus on a little positive then that would

0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 1>just stuck him by Crows. That's fine. And one other

0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:22.200
<v Speaker 1>thing about Rayfield, right, everybody pointed out him, and the

0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.000
<v Speaker 1>reason why is because it's the offensive tackle thing and

0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.240
<v Speaker 1>he's a Hall of Famer and that's you know, you

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 1>put Tying in that category. That's that's pretty impressive. This

0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>is a guy tiring that's putting quite the resume. Time

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.240
<v Speaker 1>I've seen I've seen ram check play for the Saints.

0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:41.200
<v Speaker 1>He's played better than Tyron Smith. Okay, that that I'll say. Now.

0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:44.040
<v Speaker 1>I have not seen Andrew Whitworth play much for the Rams.

0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I have not seen any of the Rams tape this year,

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:47.920
<v Speaker 1>to be honest with you, So I don't know how

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.400
<v Speaker 1>well he's played, but I know that I know ram

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Check has been If you if you were to say, okay,

0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Ram checks in and Smith's out, I think people would say, Okay,

0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, but that's hey, good for tiring to get in.

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I just that's a I just went through all the

0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:07.560
<v Speaker 1>offensive tackles in the NFC, and you know there's nobody

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.079
<v Speaker 1>you would select over Smith, with the exception the two

0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:13.520
<v Speaker 1>guys that got snubbed. Yeah, Ram check and then again,

0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know Whitworth is. I don't know his game

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 1>as well. Knew it last year. Haven't seen him play

0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 1>much this year in any cross film I've done. Yeah,

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and you're right, I was just talking offensive lineman and yeah,

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:28.240
<v Speaker 1>by position, Yeah, because the other two guys were actually

0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:33.080
<v Speaker 1>the other three guys were guards, right, Yeah, although one

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:37.080
<v Speaker 1>year as a tackle, yes he did. He did. Let's

0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.840
<v Speaker 1>talk about Byron Jones just for a minute. Had that

0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.439
<v Speaker 1>one right? Had that one right? Yeah? I don't know

0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.480
<v Speaker 1>if anybody had this pegged preseason. I know you were

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:49.439
<v Speaker 1>skeptical that this move could work. I was, and it's

0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:53.720
<v Speaker 1>rightfully so, and it's worked out better than maybe anybody thought,

0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe even Byron himself. Maybe we can ask him that today,

0:13:56.480 --> 0:14:00.200
<v Speaker 1>how quickly he's adjusted to this role and why do

0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:01.680
<v Speaker 1>you think it's worked out as well as it has.

0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.559
<v Speaker 1>I think it's worked out well because of how competitive

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.200
<v Speaker 1>the guy is, you know, I mean we talk about

0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:11.160
<v Speaker 1>to play corner. You have to have athletic ability, you

0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.200
<v Speaker 1>have to have mobility, you have to have the ability

0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.719
<v Speaker 1>to turn the match to run to do you know,

0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.319
<v Speaker 1>he's not the quickest guy. He's not the fastest guy.

0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 1>But what he knows, he understands. He's smart, he plays

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:24.040
<v Speaker 1>in position, and he's got a physical side to his game.

0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:26.400
<v Speaker 1>And you ask me, how does a guy make the

0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Pro Bowl not have a bunch of interceptions or one? Yeah,

0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 1>or one? And that's you know this If you watch

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.520
<v Speaker 1>how they play scheme wise here, how many passes do

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 1>they knock down? They don't get a lot of clean

0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:40.160
<v Speaker 1>looks at footballs. The way they play, I mean, the

0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.840
<v Speaker 1>way they knock down. They're driving on balls, they're they're

0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.320
<v Speaker 1>they're ripping balls loose, you know, I mean to me,

0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:48.960
<v Speaker 1>the ball skills and stuff like that. Yeah, that's a

0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:50.880
<v Speaker 1>big part of what you do. But with the way

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 1>they play scheme wise, I don't think these guys are

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:56.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna get much in many interceptions. They're just not in

0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 1>position to get intercepts. There are more better, better positions

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:03.040
<v Speaker 1>to knock balls down. And Byron, I think, I think

0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:06.640
<v Speaker 1>if if you, if you hold receivers that have played

0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:10.120
<v Speaker 1>against Byron Jones. They'll tell you the guy's difficult to

0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.880
<v Speaker 1>get rid of because you know what, what kind of

0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 1>penalties do is Byron Jones get. He generally gets holding penalties.

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:19.760
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't get pass in or Ferren's penalties. He's really

0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:23.160
<v Speaker 1>good at sticking on guys, and officials have let him

0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 1>play a little bit and not let him play at times.

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:27.200
<v Speaker 1>He had a coup. He had a series there he

0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:29.200
<v Speaker 1>was in Philadelphia where he had back to back penalties

0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:31.360
<v Speaker 1>in a series that got him, you know, got him

0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:35.960
<v Speaker 1>down the field. But Byron Jones is a tough He's

0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.360
<v Speaker 1>like gum. He's like gum on your shoe. You're trying

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.640
<v Speaker 1>to get it off, and it won't it won't leave.

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:43.720
<v Speaker 1>And so I yeah, and I don't think he's ever

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:47.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna have the high interception numbers. But what what whoever

0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:50.760
<v Speaker 1>made the decision to play him at corner might have

0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:54.600
<v Speaker 1>made him a ton of money because if he doesn't

0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.720
<v Speaker 1>get it here, someone's gonna say, well, look how he plays,

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Look how he plays. This guy's you know, this guy's tough,

0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, and he's he's a good kid. You don't

0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:05.960
<v Speaker 1>have to worry about him. He's smart, He comes to

0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:09.720
<v Speaker 1>work every day, he practices hard. Yeah, pay that guy.

0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 1>He did whatever was asked of him for the first

0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.320
<v Speaker 1>three years, which meant play a little corner, play a

0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of safety. Yeah, he lines up and plays. He's played.

0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Before the season, he had played in forty eight NFL games.

0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.040
<v Speaker 1>He hadn't missed one yet. How many how many games

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.880
<v Speaker 1>we out now thirteen? Add that to it, fourteen games?

0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Add that. Yeah, this guy lines up and plays. There's

0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.440
<v Speaker 1>something to that. And you know, if Chris Rashard made

0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:35.920
<v Speaker 1>the decision solely to say, oh no, he looks like

0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:39.560
<v Speaker 1>a better corner, good for Chris Rashard because he put

0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:41.480
<v Speaker 1>him in a category where people now are gonna have

0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.000
<v Speaker 1>to look at him and say, that's our type of

0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:47.320
<v Speaker 1>corner right there, you know. And the guy, I think

0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 1>it speaks to how well he's played because he doesn't

0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.440
<v Speaker 1>have any stats. And normally when you start picking corners,

0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.320
<v Speaker 1>you start looking at that list of interceptions and go, okay, yeah,

0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.320
<v Speaker 1>he's good. Okay, he's good. He ain't got an interception,

0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:03.760
<v Speaker 1>and he made the Pro Bowl. Yeah he's got fourteen

0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:09.160
<v Speaker 1>leads the team with fourteen passes broken up, but no interceptions.

0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.520
<v Speaker 1>But somebody thinks he can play. You know he does

0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:16.280
<v Speaker 1>what does he do? Your buddies, my buddy bro football

0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:21.239
<v Speaker 1>Focus has been him. Well maybe that's why he made it.

0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:24.000
<v Speaker 1>It helped him. They get helped him. The players picked

0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:27.680
<v Speaker 1>up ro football Focus and how Hi, this guy's ready.

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.520
<v Speaker 1>They've played a lot of national games on TV. That's right.

0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:32.600
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know if guys sit around like we

0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:35.880
<v Speaker 1>do and watch football games, they probably don't probably sit

0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.560
<v Speaker 1>around two other things. But you know, I mean the

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.120
<v Speaker 1>smart ones know. And like I said, if you if

0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.800
<v Speaker 1>you did a poll with the receivers that have played

0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.200
<v Speaker 1>against Byron Jones, who's one of the toughest guys you

0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:49.639
<v Speaker 1>played against? I think Byron Jones we get mentioned a lot. Yeah,

0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:51.840
<v Speaker 1>and player voting is part of this thing. Yeah, I

0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.520
<v Speaker 1>mean they know they know the guys who are good

0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.800
<v Speaker 1>players because they have to go up against them. I

0:17:57.880 --> 0:17:59.760
<v Speaker 1>wonder how rare it is to have a first year

0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:01.880
<v Speaker 1>corner in the Pro Bowl, like a guy. I don't

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:03.159
<v Speaker 1>know if it's you know, if there's a staff for

0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.520
<v Speaker 1>a guy that switched positions and makes the Pro Bowl

0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:08.880
<v Speaker 1>his first year other than rookie corners. Um, but he's

0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.480
<v Speaker 1>the first Cowboy corner to make it since Mike Jenkins

0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 1>and Terrence Newman back in oh nine, nine years since

0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:16.080
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys put a corner in. Yeah, you would have

0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.439
<v Speaker 1>fooled me if Mike you said Mike Jenkins made a

0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.879
<v Speaker 1>Pro Bowl oh nine with with Terrence Yeah, that that

0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:23.720
<v Speaker 1>that would have fooled me, Mickey, Would that have fooled you?

0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.719
<v Speaker 1>Mike Jenkins? I don't remember Mike Jenkins oh nine season

0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.600
<v Speaker 1>being all that spectacular. Did he have a bunch of interceptions?

0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I believe he did. I can't remember. I mean, I'll

0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:33.280
<v Speaker 1>tell you what I had for breakfast this morning. That's

0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:35.280
<v Speaker 1>about as good as I can do. And I believe

0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to remember which way it went. I apologize

0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:46.639
<v Speaker 1>after the Cowboy he got um trying to think what

0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:48.919
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to Yeah, he had a good season,

0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:52.159
<v Speaker 1>some terrible radio. We're doing nineteen pass breakups right there?

0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.240
<v Speaker 1>You go? Five interceptions? Right? That was oh nine? Yeah?

0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:59.240
<v Speaker 1>So was that the year after he got punked when

0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:02.760
<v Speaker 1>they brought in pac Man oh eight? Probably? Yeah? The

0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:05.720
<v Speaker 1>pac Man was pac Man. Yeah, and he had a

0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:10.080
<v Speaker 1>decent year before that, and he got punked because pac

0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Man was here. He got punked by remember the whole

0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:15.480
<v Speaker 1>thing with him when he came in and him and

0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Scandrick same time, Right, that was a weird situation there.

0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:22.840
<v Speaker 1>He felt like, wait a minute, you're playing this guy

0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:27.480
<v Speaker 1>all right? You know this was the fifth round pick, Yeah,

0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:30.080
<v Speaker 1>playing more early. Yeah yeah, and then he had the

0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:33.159
<v Speaker 1>good year and then something happened the next year he

0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:36.240
<v Speaker 1>got hurt knee, right, yeah, I believe so he's always

0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:39.399
<v Speaker 1>had knee issues. He always that that you hurt. You

0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:43.160
<v Speaker 1>get a defensive back with lower body injury and using

0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:45.919
<v Speaker 1>a hockey term here, you always describe all their injuries

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.520
<v Speaker 1>as lower body. You get a lower body injury that

0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:51.200
<v Speaker 1>there they make their living with their legs. They can't run,

0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:54.560
<v Speaker 1>they can't move, the achilles has gone, calf strains with

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:58.120
<v Speaker 1>all that, you know, hamstring, just not the same guy,

0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Mark b for false. Those guys are done absolutely no

0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:05.680
<v Speaker 1>truth of the matter. And that one, you know. And

0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:07.719
<v Speaker 1>and if you look at two of the guys that

0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:13.000
<v Speaker 1>got selected at cornerback, Fuller and Howard from Miami, Yeah,

0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:15.119
<v Speaker 1>well they're tied for the league league each with the

0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:20.119
<v Speaker 1>seven interceptions. Yeah, so they're in right, So yeah, that

0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a it's a great credit to the

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:26.639
<v Speaker 1>level he's played with. That's that's coaches vote and player

0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.040
<v Speaker 1>vote right there. Yeah, that's what that's all about. And

0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:31.000
<v Speaker 1>and but Calboy nation out there can line up for

0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:34.600
<v Speaker 1>their guys. I mean, here's a fan vote. Were Norman

0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:39.080
<v Speaker 1>made it? Who was the no? It was the AFC uh,

0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:44.960
<v Speaker 1>it was the AFC corner was a name, I think,

0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:47.679
<v Speaker 1>And it's like, Okay, I guess he's good because he

0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:53.920
<v Speaker 1>made the Hey just hang with me. Jalen called Ramsey

0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Ramsey oh in Jacksonville. Yeah, hadn't been the best year

0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:02.080

0:25:52.920 --> 0:25:54.400
<v Speaker 1>You come up, and you come up one there. Yeah,

0:25:54.600 --> 0:25:57.800
<v Speaker 1>speaking of great fans, let's hit the phone lines. Start

0:25:57.880 --> 0:26:00.600
<v Speaker 1>us off. Jim in California. You're a first day I'm

0:26:00.600 --> 0:26:03.239
<v Speaker 1>talking cowboys. What's up, Jim? Good morning, Rob? How are

0:26:03.280 --> 0:26:06.200
<v Speaker 1>you do well? Are you well? If he called you Bob,

0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:11.000
<v Speaker 1>that'd be okay. I was just wondering, where is Bob today?

0:26:11.320 --> 0:26:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Bob's got TV duty? Okay. Hey, I've got a theory.

0:26:15.320 --> 0:26:19.120
<v Speaker 1>I think the legs on athletes epps and flows. You

0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:23.520
<v Speaker 1>peak and you have valleys, and I think Garrett's got

0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:25.320
<v Speaker 1>his finger on the pulse of the team, and I

0:26:25.359 --> 0:26:28.880
<v Speaker 1>think that he trained them such that he needs them

0:26:28.920 --> 0:26:31.439
<v Speaker 1>to peak for the final run. I really do. I

0:26:31.480 --> 0:26:34.399
<v Speaker 1>think when you miss tackles and you drop balls and

0:26:34.480 --> 0:26:37.640
<v Speaker 1>you can't get off blocks, you can't sustain blocks, you

0:26:37.680 --> 0:26:40.560
<v Speaker 1>can't do your run fits quickly is like you used to.

0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it's because your legs are dead. And I

0:26:43.080 --> 0:26:45.760
<v Speaker 1>think Garrett knew that. And I think that we're going

0:26:45.800 --> 0:26:50.040
<v Speaker 1>to see a different explosive team in the next two

0:26:50.080 --> 0:26:52.600
<v Speaker 1>weeks because I think they're going to recover their legs.

0:26:52.920 --> 0:26:56.840
<v Speaker 1>And also, I was wondering your thoughts on Tampa. I

0:26:56.920 --> 0:26:59.720
<v Speaker 1>take shows that they are just having fun. On defense,

0:27:00.119 --> 0:27:03.359
<v Speaker 1>run to the ball, they're fast, Uh, they're good tacklers.

0:27:03.480 --> 0:27:08.399
<v Speaker 1>In on offense, my impression and Brian's the guru, is

0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:11.399
<v Speaker 1>that their offensive line is physical. They just want to

0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:14.800
<v Speaker 1>pound you inside. Anyway, thanks for taking my call, guys,

0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:17.520
<v Speaker 1>have a great day. Thanks. Jim Well, I don't I

0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:20.040
<v Speaker 1>don't agree with him about the deadness of the team.

0:27:21.520 --> 0:27:23.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean I don't. I don't. I don't agree with

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:25.840
<v Speaker 1>that at all. If anything, I think there probably were

0:27:25.840 --> 0:27:29.440
<v Speaker 1>a little refreshed to be off of that crazy Thanksgiving schedule. Yeah,

0:27:29.480 --> 0:27:32.720
<v Speaker 1>but probably helped them act. But as far as I know,

0:27:33.080 --> 0:27:35.439
<v Speaker 1>I know, if you if he would have come out

0:27:35.480 --> 0:27:38.680
<v Speaker 1>and said they just physically got beat up, yeah, I

0:27:38.760 --> 0:27:41.960
<v Speaker 1>mean I felt like that they they just couldn't get

0:27:42.000 --> 0:27:44.800
<v Speaker 1>off blocks. They couldn't. They couldn't, you know, they couldn't

0:27:45.080 --> 0:27:47.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't tackle well enough. I don't think that was a

0:27:49.119 --> 0:27:52.520
<v Speaker 1>byproduct of that of being dead. I think they just

0:27:52.520 --> 0:27:55.439
<v Speaker 1>physically got beat up in this game. They didn't play

0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:57.520
<v Speaker 1>their game. They didn't do this thing as well they've

0:27:57.520 --> 0:27:59.760
<v Speaker 1>been they've been doing all your life. Yeah, No, they've

0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:02.520
<v Speaker 1>been in the five game winning streak. They they've been

0:28:02.560 --> 0:28:05.760
<v Speaker 1>playing with some physicality. They you know, I think there

0:28:05.800 --> 0:28:08.679
<v Speaker 1>was a freshness had anything to do with that. I

0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:11.639
<v Speaker 1>think they just it's just the Cults were a better team.

0:28:12.359 --> 0:28:14.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't mean, I'm sorry, I don't mean to disagree there,

0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:16.159
<v Speaker 1>but when I heard him say that, I was kind

0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:19.879
<v Speaker 1>of like, going, ah, nah, nah, you'd watch them. You

0:28:19.960 --> 0:28:21.760
<v Speaker 1>watch him play, you sit down and watch the all

0:28:21.800 --> 0:28:24.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty we obviously he sits down and watches and stuff.

0:28:24.680 --> 0:28:28.600
<v Speaker 1>By the way, the Tampa Bay defense, since they've made

0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:32.200
<v Speaker 1>the switch with the coordinator Mike Smith getting fired, their

0:28:32.200 --> 0:28:34.400
<v Speaker 1>oh and four and giving up a ton of points

0:28:34.400 --> 0:28:37.040
<v Speaker 1>on the road and has not been their strength and

0:28:37.520 --> 0:28:40.480
<v Speaker 1>their games they've given up at least thirty points. Yeah,

0:28:40.560 --> 0:28:43.880
<v Speaker 1>they they've struggled with Mike's since they fired Mike Smith.

0:28:44.600 --> 0:28:46.440
<v Speaker 1>You know. I mean, we could talk about the Saints

0:28:46.480 --> 0:28:49.560
<v Speaker 1>game and so that's a division game. But I'm watching

0:28:49.600 --> 0:28:52.360
<v Speaker 1>them play the Ravens and stuff. The Ravens are playing.

0:28:52.400 --> 0:28:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how the Cowboys are going to evaluate

0:28:54.240 --> 0:28:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the Ravens film to help them in this gaming list

0:28:56.800 --> 0:28:58.880
<v Speaker 1>that helps them with Okay, how they're going to defend

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the read option because really that's all Lamar Jackson. That's

0:29:02.400 --> 0:29:04.239
<v Speaker 1>all they ran. That was their offense. It was it

0:29:04.320 --> 0:29:07.600
<v Speaker 1>was what it's like watching Louisville play, you know. So

0:29:07.640 --> 0:29:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how I mean unless you say, okay,

0:29:09.320 --> 0:29:12.880
<v Speaker 1>well this is this is how we evaluate him. But yeah,

0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, they they scored fourteen point watching

0:29:15.960 --> 0:29:18.640
<v Speaker 1>the Saints game and they just they collapsed in the

0:29:18.680 --> 0:29:22.000
<v Speaker 1>second half of that game. So yeah, I mean that's

0:29:22.120 --> 0:29:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I I think there's a lot of really good names

0:29:25.280 --> 0:29:28.760
<v Speaker 1>on that defensive line. Rob I like the fact, you know,

0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Jason Pierre Paul is, like, I'm right about him as

0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:34.040
<v Speaker 1>an old nemesist. Gerald McCoy is a good player. I

0:29:34.080 --> 0:29:36.000
<v Speaker 1>don't think he's the same player he was back in

0:29:36.040 --> 0:29:39.600
<v Speaker 1>the day. They got Vita Vea the defensive tackle from

0:29:39.640 --> 0:29:42.120
<v Speaker 1>watching the rookie they got him in the lineup. I mean,

0:29:42.160 --> 0:29:44.040
<v Speaker 1>he is a hard guy to move because he's so

0:29:44.120 --> 0:29:48.040
<v Speaker 1>damn big. You know, that's a problem. This Carl Nasst

0:29:48.040 --> 0:29:51.800
<v Speaker 1>the defensive end, He's got a little bit of that

0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:53.480
<v Speaker 1>that like he would be one of those guys you

0:29:53.480 --> 0:29:56.080
<v Speaker 1>would see when they faced the Redskins. You have to

0:29:56.120 --> 0:29:59.760
<v Speaker 1>do with Preston Smith, Ryan Carrigan that kind of that

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:03.920
<v Speaker 1>try hard, relentless, keep coming after you. Guy. Probably not

0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:05.720
<v Speaker 1>the most talent. I don't know if he's as talented

0:30:05.720 --> 0:30:08.400
<v Speaker 1>as those guys that just mentioned, but he's but he's

0:30:08.440 --> 0:30:10.400
<v Speaker 1>got some you know, he's gonna give He's gonna give

0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Lyle Collins a test. If Lyle Collins doesn't play with technique,

0:30:14.760 --> 0:30:16.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, this guy is gonna give you a little

0:30:16.240 --> 0:30:18.760
<v Speaker 1>bit of problem. Right. I like their I like their

0:30:18.800 --> 0:30:20.920
<v Speaker 1>safety Jordan Whitehead, who they got from Pitt in the

0:30:20.920 --> 0:30:23.600
<v Speaker 1>fourth round. He's a guy you got to kind of

0:30:23.680 --> 0:30:25.440
<v Speaker 1>keep an eye on because what he'll do is he

0:30:25.480 --> 0:30:28.320
<v Speaker 1>could cover your tight end. He can cover your tight end,

0:30:28.360 --> 0:30:31.440
<v Speaker 1>he could play physical around the line of scrimmage. But

0:30:31.480 --> 0:30:34.240
<v Speaker 1>other than that, you know, I'm you know, I'm just

0:30:34.280 --> 0:30:35.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of looking at their team like, Okay, you should

0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:38.960
<v Speaker 1>be able to move the ball against good people have Yeah. Yeah,

0:30:39.120 --> 0:30:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I think especially in zone coverage, these guys are terrible

0:30:41.600 --> 0:30:44.640
<v Speaker 1>when they play his zone. They took Vita Vea in

0:30:44.680 --> 0:30:47.959
<v Speaker 1>the first round, thirteenth overall. I believe ant twine Woods

0:30:48.000 --> 0:30:51.719
<v Speaker 1>got seven more tackles than he does. Well, he's missed games.

0:30:52.080 --> 0:30:54.520
<v Speaker 1>He's missed a lot of games. They just got him back.

0:30:55.400 --> 0:30:58.920
<v Speaker 1>He hasn't played how many games. I'm almost positive he's

0:30:58.960 --> 0:31:01.760
<v Speaker 1>missed like four games for them. There was a problem

0:31:01.760 --> 0:31:03.960
<v Speaker 1>there with him. He was he was he was nicked up.

0:31:05.280 --> 0:31:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Total number of games looking it up right now. Yeah,

0:31:09.880 --> 0:31:11.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, having trouble with my else. But you know,

0:31:12.160 --> 0:31:15.680
<v Speaker 1>to me this going back to Jim's calls played, he's

0:31:15.720 --> 0:31:19.600
<v Speaker 1>played eleven games six Yeah, yeah, so I hadn't played

0:31:19.640 --> 0:31:22.400
<v Speaker 1>as much. That's okay, But I mean, hey, they're two

0:31:22.480 --> 0:31:26.400
<v Speaker 1>big men inside though. Yeah, they make plays. The strength

0:31:26.440 --> 0:31:28.400
<v Speaker 1>of this Tampa Bay team, what we've seen so far

0:31:28.480 --> 0:31:31.640
<v Speaker 1>this season is their offense and and not and you

0:31:31.720 --> 0:31:33.840
<v Speaker 1>talk about moving the ball, They've moved the ball. Oh

0:31:33.920 --> 0:31:36.880
<v Speaker 1>that's matter. It's been in a quarterback, right, Yeah, it's

0:31:36.960 --> 0:31:39.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of like the Cowboys offense. It's been about finishing drives.

0:31:39.840 --> 0:31:41.400
<v Speaker 1>And I think they were the only team in NFL

0:31:41.520 --> 0:31:44.360
<v Speaker 1>history a few weeks back against Washington to get five

0:31:44.440 --> 0:31:47.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred yards of offense three points. Yeah, no touch. I

0:31:47.480 --> 0:31:51.960
<v Speaker 1>think the six sixteen to three, sixteen three, sixteen three.

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:54.320
<v Speaker 1>You're right, yeah, you know. I'll tell you another thing. Guys,

0:31:54.360 --> 0:31:57.200
<v Speaker 1>they've had problems catching the ball. Yeah, they we see

0:31:57.440 --> 0:32:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Chris Goodwin. Who are Chris Godwin from Penn State who

0:32:00.520 --> 0:32:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I really really liked in the draft in seventeen from

0:32:03.960 --> 0:32:07.400
<v Speaker 1>he This is a team I mean it drops. I

0:32:07.400 --> 0:32:09.800
<v Speaker 1>mean I'm watching these games and it's like, guys open

0:32:09.840 --> 0:32:12.280
<v Speaker 1>over the middle, drop, guy open over here at drop.

0:32:12.640 --> 0:32:15.320
<v Speaker 1>You know they've had they you know, I'm hey, I'm

0:32:15.320 --> 0:32:18.080
<v Speaker 1>just hoping that they continue to drop football. So the

0:32:18.080 --> 0:32:21.120
<v Speaker 1>way they have, they're gonna probably get to Sean Jackson back,

0:32:21.200 --> 0:32:24.360
<v Speaker 1>though that's gonna be a pain in the rear to

0:32:24.400 --> 0:32:26.480
<v Speaker 1>have to deal with. They got this little kid named

0:32:26.480 --> 0:32:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Adam Humphreys who's kind of a Cole Beastly starter kit.

0:32:30.280 --> 0:32:32.479
<v Speaker 1>He's been in the league since fifteen, but he's one

0:32:32.480 --> 0:32:34.960
<v Speaker 1>of those guys that plays in the slot, kind of

0:32:34.960 --> 0:32:37.760
<v Speaker 1>a pesky guy. You throw them the ball underneath. He

0:32:37.840 --> 0:32:41.400
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have a really high yards per catch, but he's

0:32:41.440 --> 0:32:44.360
<v Speaker 1>really consistent catching the football that way. Now again, the

0:32:44.400 --> 0:32:46.320
<v Speaker 1>other ones have had some prompt Mike Evans is a

0:32:46.320 --> 0:32:48.800
<v Speaker 1>big time player. He's a problem. Yeah, he is a

0:32:48.800 --> 0:32:51.320
<v Speaker 1>big problem because what will happen is Jamis Linson will

0:32:51.360 --> 0:32:53.480
<v Speaker 1>just throw the ball down the field. He doesn't care.

0:32:53.760 --> 0:32:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he would just launch it down the field

0:32:55.400 --> 0:32:57.560
<v Speaker 1>and think, Okay, that guy's gonna go get it. You know.

0:32:57.640 --> 0:32:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I went to a couple of Texas A and m

0:32:59.240 --> 0:33:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Aggie games where Johnny Manziel it was that's all I did.

0:33:01.800 --> 0:33:04.040
<v Speaker 1>It was the same thing Alabama game when one time

0:33:04.080 --> 0:33:06.360
<v Speaker 1>we just launched it down the sideline and it's like, okay,

0:33:06.360 --> 0:33:07.920
<v Speaker 1>go make a play. I think he had like two

0:33:08.000 --> 0:33:10.880
<v Speaker 1>hundred something three hundred ye insane. Yeah, and the same

0:33:10.920 --> 0:33:14.080
<v Speaker 1>thing here just because he can go get it, can't

0:33:14.160 --> 0:33:17.320
<v Speaker 1>They'll also get the ball to the other team. Yeah,

0:33:17.400 --> 0:33:20.760
<v Speaker 1>that's big for them too. Thirty one giveaway. Yeah, twenty

0:33:20.800 --> 0:33:24.400
<v Speaker 1>five of those interceptions. Yeah, most in the league. And

0:33:24.480 --> 0:33:29.280
<v Speaker 1>they had the second worst ratio in turnover turnover margin,

0:33:30.120 --> 0:33:32.840
<v Speaker 1>just in front of San Francisco because they don't really

0:33:32.840 --> 0:33:34.520
<v Speaker 1>take it away that much. I don't think they're tied

0:33:34.520 --> 0:33:38.360
<v Speaker 1>with Dallas and takeaways yeah, sixteen. Well that's that. Yeah,

0:33:38.360 --> 0:33:40.160
<v Speaker 1>that's the difference between winning and losing. That's probably the

0:33:40.200 --> 0:33:42.200
<v Speaker 1>biggest stat there is, five and nine. But they're not

0:33:42.240 --> 0:33:44.120
<v Speaker 1>a bad football team. I will say it's about John

0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:47.200
<v Speaker 1>John Wright was a call, right, Jim, Jim, Sorry Jim,

0:33:47.320 --> 0:33:49.360
<v Speaker 1>it might have been Bob. Who knows Jim I'm sorry

0:33:49.400 --> 0:33:52.520
<v Speaker 1>about that. No, he's right about the soffitsive line though

0:33:52.960 --> 0:33:55.480
<v Speaker 1>that you know, they're just trying to kind of they're

0:33:55.560 --> 0:33:58.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of a molly group, and molly like you know,

0:33:58.440 --> 0:34:00.560
<v Speaker 1>they get into and they're they're really not gonna get

0:34:00.640 --> 0:34:02.440
<v Speaker 1>much movement, but they try and get into you. And

0:34:02.800 --> 0:34:05.400
<v Speaker 1>and movie, if you can't, you don't. You don't see

0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:07.840
<v Speaker 1>them really coming off the ball the best one. I mean,

0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:10.400
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to beat the lines that you've played with,

0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:13.400
<v Speaker 1>with what Indianapolis had, with what the Saints had, what

0:34:13.560 --> 0:34:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia has had to a point too as well. But

0:34:16.640 --> 0:34:18.520
<v Speaker 1>this group, you know, this group is one of those

0:34:18.560 --> 0:34:20.200
<v Speaker 1>they'll try and get into you. I think if you

0:34:20.360 --> 0:34:23.920
<v Speaker 1>if you want to go after somebody. The tackles look

0:34:23.920 --> 0:34:26.439
<v Speaker 1>a little heavy footed to me. Donovan Smith at left

0:34:26.480 --> 0:34:29.759
<v Speaker 1>tackle and DeMar Dotson at right tackle though they look

0:34:29.800 --> 0:34:32.720
<v Speaker 1>a little heavy footed to me. Ali Marpett who plays

0:34:32.760 --> 0:34:34.680
<v Speaker 1>guard for them, you're talking about a guy who probably

0:34:34.680 --> 0:34:37.680
<v Speaker 1>got snubbed. He's a good player, Ali Marpett is. He's

0:34:37.719 --> 0:34:40.680
<v Speaker 1>a small school guy, small school Hobart College. Yeah, I

0:34:40.719 --> 0:34:42.560
<v Speaker 1>watched the film. Yet they have a bounce house in

0:34:42.600 --> 0:34:44.640
<v Speaker 1>the in the end zone, like the kids are in

0:34:44.680 --> 0:34:47.640
<v Speaker 1>the bounce house playing while the game's going on. It's awesome. Different,

0:34:47.760 --> 0:34:50.360
<v Speaker 1>it's different, but think it works for them. But yeah,

0:34:50.400 --> 0:34:52.440
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's a it's a it's a group that

0:34:52.680 --> 0:34:56.040
<v Speaker 1>it's there's nothing really pretty about him. But i'll tell

0:34:56.040 --> 0:34:59.040
<v Speaker 1>you what though. They just get ready for Jamis Wins

0:34:59.120 --> 0:35:00.600
<v Speaker 1>to throw the ball down the field and hope for

0:35:00.640 --> 0:35:02.719
<v Speaker 1>the best. That's kind of how they play Evans. But

0:35:02.880 --> 0:35:05.680
<v Speaker 1>pressure on them, you know, two of them. Yeah, you

0:35:05.800 --> 0:35:07.919
<v Speaker 1>hope you hope he does. That would be a great

0:35:07.960 --> 0:35:10.080
<v Speaker 1>thing to got to catch it. How about get two

0:35:10.160 --> 0:35:13.000
<v Speaker 1>and finish two, you know, instead of get too and

0:35:13.760 --> 0:35:16.319
<v Speaker 1>kick field goal too or don't get dragged down at

0:35:16.360 --> 0:35:21.160
<v Speaker 1>the four yard? Yeah, that's a goal at the four. Yeah,

0:35:21.200 --> 0:35:23.759
<v Speaker 1>that's that's a bad sequence for the Dallas Cowboys first

0:35:23.760 --> 0:35:26.840
<v Speaker 1>and goal of the four. It is. We've talked about

0:35:26.880 --> 0:35:29.960
<v Speaker 1>that offensive line issues there that really don't trust them

0:35:30.000 --> 0:35:33.359
<v Speaker 1>that much. Yeah, it's kind of a problem. What, Mick,

0:35:33.480 --> 0:35:36.640
<v Speaker 1>what else has to happen in this game besides red zone?

0:35:36.640 --> 0:35:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Because I think we I like this, I like the

0:35:39.080 --> 0:35:41.080
<v Speaker 1>line questioning here. I like this. We got after that

0:35:41.120 --> 0:35:43.800
<v Speaker 1>horse pretty good. Yesterday. I wrote about it yesterday again

0:35:44.120 --> 0:35:46.960
<v Speaker 1>what besides that? What else has got to change from

0:35:46.960 --> 0:35:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the indie game to this game to get back on

0:35:50.040 --> 0:35:54.320
<v Speaker 1>track offensively defensively? A really good question like that one. Well,

0:35:55.160 --> 0:35:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Zach Martin needs to play. Yeah, that would count that,

0:35:57.840 --> 0:36:01.319
<v Speaker 1>that counts sh right there? Yeah, start right there? Uh,

0:36:01.480 --> 0:36:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Sealfulo needs to play. Yeah, I'm not sure about him, right.

0:36:06.360 --> 0:36:09.200
<v Speaker 1>I think he's gonna play, you do I think they

0:36:09.239 --> 0:36:11.680
<v Speaker 1>thought he was gonna play on Sunday. Is he gonna

0:36:11.680 --> 0:36:14.960
<v Speaker 1>borrow the Buccaneer patch? That would be great, Bruce, the

0:36:15.000 --> 0:36:19.839
<v Speaker 1>Buccaneer Bucks patch on. I don't think you can play

0:36:19.880 --> 0:36:23.160
<v Speaker 1>with one eye. He had suns even the stadium. I'm

0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:25.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna tell you this. I'll tell you a real quick story.

0:36:25.440 --> 0:36:28.640
<v Speaker 1>It was a guy named Bob Whitfield that played left

0:36:28.640 --> 0:36:32.359
<v Speaker 1>tackle for the Atlanta Falcons eighth overall pick nineteen ninety draft.

0:36:32.520 --> 0:36:35.719
<v Speaker 1>Had one eye, played left tackle with one eye he

0:36:35.840 --> 0:36:38.120
<v Speaker 1>had he was blind, legally blind in one of his eyes,

0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:40.880
<v Speaker 1>and played left tackle for a long time for the

0:36:40.920 --> 0:36:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Falcons because we were gonna draft mcgreen Bay and then

0:36:43.920 --> 0:36:45.960
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden the medical stuff came back about

0:36:46.000 --> 0:36:50.319
<v Speaker 1>the eye is legally blind and his his left eye

0:36:50.960 --> 0:36:56.080
<v Speaker 1>there there was a Dallas Desperado that was had one eye. Yeah, um,

0:36:56.640 --> 0:36:59.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it was Josh White. You remember that nick

0:36:59.680 --> 0:37:02.440
<v Speaker 1>he had he had an accident as a child with

0:37:02.520 --> 0:37:07.239
<v Speaker 1>a toy. Oh yeah, and good good player for the Desperadoes,

0:37:07.280 --> 0:37:10.799
<v Speaker 1>by the way, indoor team you know the uh the

0:37:10.880 --> 0:37:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals back in the Saint Louis Cardinal days, yes or

0:37:14.600 --> 0:37:17.640
<v Speaker 1>not the Chicago Cardinal late seventies. I believe it was

0:37:18.440 --> 0:37:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Pat Chilly. They had a defensive lineman who was deaf,

0:37:22.600 --> 0:37:25.799
<v Speaker 1>legally deaf. Yeah, Nebraska had a guy Denver drafted a guy.

0:37:25.880 --> 0:37:29.799
<v Speaker 1>Can't remember his name, remember the guy's name? And he

0:37:29.920 --> 0:37:32.920
<v Speaker 1>actually he made the team. Yeah, he actually made the

0:37:32.960 --> 0:37:35.600
<v Speaker 1>team as a defensive tackle. I took you off the

0:37:35.640 --> 0:37:39.000
<v Speaker 1>path there. That's thankfully Spilo's injury is not that serious.

0:37:40.239 --> 0:37:45.960
<v Speaker 1>So to give you a more tangible answer, they need

0:37:45.960 --> 0:37:51.640
<v Speaker 1>to get back to making on offense, a big play.

0:37:52.040 --> 0:37:55.759
<v Speaker 1>Can't always drive eighty five yards for a touchdown. At

0:37:55.800 --> 0:37:58.239
<v Speaker 1>some points you need a forty yard or you know what.

0:37:58.400 --> 0:38:01.000
<v Speaker 1>In these last couple of game game, you know, Zeke's

0:38:01.080 --> 0:38:04.200
<v Speaker 1>ran the ball well and he's been like one tackle

0:38:04.239 --> 0:38:07.640
<v Speaker 1>away from going the distance from wherever he's at twenty

0:38:07.640 --> 0:38:10.400
<v Speaker 1>four yard run, gets caught on the cliff of the hills,

0:38:10.440 --> 0:38:13.120
<v Speaker 1>just got you know, he's he's break. You can see

0:38:13.120 --> 0:38:15.399
<v Speaker 1>it opening, and it's like, oh, this is gonna be big,

0:38:15.440 --> 0:38:18.640
<v Speaker 1>and then something happens and he just gets derailed right

0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:21.520
<v Speaker 1>at the last minute. They need one of they need

0:38:21.600 --> 0:38:24.080
<v Speaker 1>him to bust one of those and they need to

0:38:24.160 --> 0:38:28.200
<v Speaker 1>hit one of those deep passes to At some point,

0:38:28.239 --> 0:38:30.719
<v Speaker 1>you gotta get some easy stuff. You can't just keep

0:38:30.800 --> 0:38:35.200
<v Speaker 1>grinding and grinding and grinding, you know, and and like

0:38:35.480 --> 0:38:39.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, Jason pointed out those first three drives, it

0:38:39.840 --> 0:38:43.800
<v Speaker 1>was like eighty yards, sixty some yards, fifty some yards

0:38:43.920 --> 0:38:47.800
<v Speaker 1>points and no points. But you're grinding and grinding and grinding,

0:38:47.800 --> 0:38:50.000
<v Speaker 1>and then you get a hold. It's like, okay, there

0:38:50.040 --> 0:38:51.680
<v Speaker 1>it goes, and now I got to kick a field.

0:38:51.840 --> 0:38:54.320
<v Speaker 1>The longest pass play in that game was Blake Jarwin

0:38:54.440 --> 0:38:58.200
<v Speaker 1>eighteen yards. Yea. And Amari Cooper has been that guy

0:38:58.239 --> 0:39:00.839
<v Speaker 1>for them. Yeah, he's been the big out guy. Yeah.

0:39:00.920 --> 0:39:05.200
<v Speaker 1>He had an eleven yard run on the reverse Amari

0:39:05.320 --> 0:39:07.759
<v Speaker 1>did which was very close to being broken. That was

0:39:07.800 --> 0:39:10.719
<v Speaker 1>another YEA take. If Connor Williams would have just kind

0:39:10.719 --> 0:39:12.920
<v Speaker 1>of cut his guy a little bit more. That was

0:39:12.920 --> 0:39:16.280
<v Speaker 1>a big play, but his long reception was eleven yards.

0:39:16.280 --> 0:39:18.479
<v Speaker 1>What do you think they did against him in that game?

0:39:19.160 --> 0:39:22.279
<v Speaker 1>We were talking about that last night on the Happy Hour.

0:39:22.640 --> 0:39:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I didn't see anything normally. I mean they played single

0:39:25.640 --> 0:39:28.440
<v Speaker 1>high year on the quarterback pression. The quarterback was huge,

0:39:28.520 --> 0:39:31.120
<v Speaker 1>and it didn't give him any opportunity to go to

0:39:31.200 --> 0:39:33.840
<v Speaker 1>him like he had been. You know that that extra

0:39:34.000 --> 0:39:38.640
<v Speaker 1>second mark. Still he gets open, but I didn't. It

0:39:38.680 --> 0:39:42.160
<v Speaker 1>wasn't like, Okay, there's this massive bracketing going on right now.

0:39:42.200 --> 0:39:44.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they played their defense. There's Bill Jones just

0:39:44.960 --> 0:39:48.640
<v Speaker 1>walking back. I don't think he's stopping in. He's not.

0:39:48.760 --> 0:39:51.280
<v Speaker 1>He's a TV cats. It's like he's running for president

0:39:51.400 --> 0:39:55.799
<v Speaker 1>right now. Is well, he could probably win the Can

0:39:55.840 --> 0:39:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I say what I think the Cowboys need to do? Definitely?

0:39:58.440 --> 0:40:01.759
<v Speaker 1>You know what, I'll tease that. Let's tease it. That's

0:40:01.760 --> 0:40:03.759
<v Speaker 1>a great tease. I think Ryan bros. Will tell you

0:40:03.800 --> 0:40:07.080
<v Speaker 1>what he thinks next next I'm talking Cowboys. If you're

0:40:07.080 --> 0:40:09.640
<v Speaker 1>like me and you love I mean, if you have

0:40:09.680 --> 0:40:12.640
<v Speaker 1>a high thing, then cutting the chord is scary. But

0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:14.560

0:43:38.360 --> 0:43:41.320
<v Speaker 1>a change this week from the indie game? Maybe besides

0:43:41.400 --> 0:43:43.440
<v Speaker 1>red zone stuff? What do they got to do different

0:43:43.600 --> 0:43:46.640
<v Speaker 1>to get back on track? How about some offensive rhythm? Okay,

0:43:46.760 --> 0:43:48.640
<v Speaker 1>you know Micky was talking about the big play and

0:43:48.680 --> 0:43:50.920
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that. I think part of the big plays

0:43:51.040 --> 0:43:54.400
<v Speaker 1>come when your team's running the ball. That's the one

0:43:54.440 --> 0:43:56.120
<v Speaker 1>thing I think they're in just five game winning streak

0:43:56.160 --> 0:43:59.319
<v Speaker 1>we've seen from them, the ability to run the ball

0:43:59.440 --> 0:44:02.799
<v Speaker 1>past the ball, you know, keep keep it going. Big play.

0:44:02.840 --> 0:44:05.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think when you have rhythm with your offense,

0:44:05.760 --> 0:44:08.040
<v Speaker 1>you make those big plays. You make the plays down

0:44:08.080 --> 0:44:10.839
<v Speaker 1>the field to Amari Cooper, you make the plays you know,

0:44:10.920 --> 0:44:13.759
<v Speaker 1>on the waggles and you throw it to you throw

0:44:13.760 --> 0:44:15.560
<v Speaker 1>it to one of the tight ends for you know,

0:44:15.600 --> 0:44:18.800
<v Speaker 1>eighteen nineteen yards. You know, you get Zeke going. I

0:44:18.880 --> 0:44:20.719
<v Speaker 1>think they need to. I think they need to get

0:44:20.760 --> 0:44:25.280
<v Speaker 1>some rhythm going that way. They can move the ball.

0:44:25.320 --> 0:44:27.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's just no question they can move the ball.

0:44:27.440 --> 0:44:29.280
<v Speaker 1>We get down in the red zone and then Okay,

0:44:29.320 --> 0:44:32.879
<v Speaker 1>there's all kinds of issues, but get back, I don't

0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:36.680
<v Speaker 1>think they got in good enough rhythm in the Colts game.

0:44:36.840 --> 0:44:38.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think that was something that kind of

0:44:38.600 --> 0:44:41.000
<v Speaker 1>affected the way that they play. They didn't make those

0:44:41.040 --> 0:44:45.080
<v Speaker 1>plays like Mickey was talking about, those chunk plays are great.

0:44:45.280 --> 0:44:47.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's just you know, driving the ball, grinding

0:44:47.880 --> 0:44:50.360
<v Speaker 1>the ball. Yeah, that's tough, but you know, get a

0:44:50.400 --> 0:44:52.719
<v Speaker 1>little bit of Really we've seen them, we've seen them,

0:44:52.800 --> 0:44:57.680
<v Speaker 1>have you know, capabilities, I say, thirteen plays, ten plays

0:44:57.680 --> 0:45:00.680
<v Speaker 1>and all that, but you're right, just getting a little

0:45:00.680 --> 0:45:03.040
<v Speaker 1>bit more, a little bit more rhythm, get the quarterback

0:45:03.080 --> 0:45:06.080
<v Speaker 1>feeling a little better about himself, protect him a little

0:45:06.120 --> 0:45:10.120
<v Speaker 1>bit better. You know. I don't think the issues defensively

0:45:10.239 --> 0:45:13.239
<v Speaker 1>or anything to be worried about. I mean, I want

0:45:13.360 --> 0:45:15.319
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to say, I wanted to come out here

0:45:15.320 --> 0:45:17.360
<v Speaker 1>and say, oh jeez, I was worried about the Colts

0:45:17.440 --> 0:45:19.719
<v Speaker 1>running the ball against someone else is gonna try. I

0:45:19.760 --> 0:45:22.320
<v Speaker 1>think that's just a product of the Colts offensive line.

0:45:22.800 --> 0:45:24.840
<v Speaker 1>I think they physically, like we've said a bunch, I

0:45:24.920 --> 0:45:27.480
<v Speaker 1>think they physically took it to Dallas's front. And I

0:45:27.520 --> 0:45:30.840
<v Speaker 1>don't think they're gonna play many more offensive lines that

0:45:31.000 --> 0:45:34.360
<v Speaker 1>play with that style, you know. I mean, yeah, I

0:45:34.400 --> 0:45:37.240
<v Speaker 1>think if you rematch, if you rematch the Saints again,

0:45:38.200 --> 0:45:40.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe so, But I don't. I don't think

0:45:40.280 --> 0:45:43.080
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna play a line that that has that kind

0:45:43.080 --> 0:45:45.319
<v Speaker 1>of capability to take it to him like they did.

0:45:46.239 --> 0:45:48.240
<v Speaker 1>If I got to pick something on the defensive side,

0:45:48.280 --> 0:45:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I would say they got to get back to stop

0:45:50.320 --> 0:45:53.600
<v Speaker 1>in the run. That was the most that was to me.

0:45:53.680 --> 0:45:55.839
<v Speaker 1>It was the difference in the football game. Yeah, what

0:45:55.880 --> 0:45:59.080
<v Speaker 1>they were able to do and just keep Luck comfortable

0:45:59.080 --> 0:46:02.319
<v Speaker 1>in the pocket, him in comfortable down in distant situations.

0:46:03.040 --> 0:46:06.440
<v Speaker 1>You look at Tampa Bay's rushing attack, it's not a

0:46:06.520 --> 0:46:08.960
<v Speaker 1>highly productive one, right. They like to throw the ball

0:46:09.000 --> 0:46:11.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot. Anyway, Peyton Barber is not a bad player

0:46:11.440 --> 0:46:14.360
<v Speaker 1>for them. He's not not at all. He's only getting

0:46:14.400 --> 0:46:17.040
<v Speaker 1>three point eight yards to carry this season, though He'll

0:46:17.080 --> 0:46:20.640
<v Speaker 1>see sneaky in the way that he gets yards. That's

0:46:20.640 --> 0:46:24.080
<v Speaker 1>what I will say about him. And jakez Rogers is

0:46:24.160 --> 0:46:27.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of their third down guy, and so what will

0:46:27.760 --> 0:46:29.759
<v Speaker 1>happen is they'll bring him in now where you need

0:46:29.800 --> 0:46:32.480
<v Speaker 1>to take advantage of Jakez Rogers. Drew's real quick rob

0:46:32.520 --> 0:46:35.239
<v Speaker 1>if I good. Since you're talking running backs, sure take

0:46:35.280 --> 0:46:37.800
<v Speaker 1>advantage of him and in past situations if he's in

0:46:37.840 --> 0:46:41.120
<v Speaker 1>the game, make him have to block you because that's

0:46:41.120 --> 0:46:43.160
<v Speaker 1>a problem for him. And this is maybe where you

0:46:43.239 --> 0:46:46.000
<v Speaker 1>get your you get your defense going back with more

0:46:46.040 --> 0:46:49.560
<v Speaker 1>pressure because I'm gonna make him half the blitz pick

0:46:49.640 --> 0:46:52.760
<v Speaker 1>up because I don't think he can not with any consistency.

0:46:53.840 --> 0:46:57.239
<v Speaker 1>So to me, go after him if you can. But

0:46:57.360 --> 0:46:59.319
<v Speaker 1>they're back, you know, Payton, I can say Peyton Barber

0:46:59.320 --> 0:47:01.200
<v Speaker 1>look kind of a nieky guy the way he runs

0:47:01.200 --> 0:47:05.600
<v Speaker 1>the football. But yeah, I'm not just worried about the defense.

0:47:05.680 --> 0:47:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I think the defense just I think it was a

0:47:07.440 --> 0:47:11.000
<v Speaker 1>bad day at the office for them. Yeah, because the

0:47:11.000 --> 0:47:13.719
<v Speaker 1>Colts the offense. I just like I said, I need

0:47:13.719 --> 0:47:16.040
<v Speaker 1>the offense to get some rhythm here, get some rhythm,

0:47:16.080 --> 0:47:19.320
<v Speaker 1>finish some drives, put up some points. Make the Tampa

0:47:19.400 --> 0:47:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Bay team quit, you know, don't let them stay in

0:47:23.120 --> 0:47:26.080
<v Speaker 1>this game and feel like they have a chance. Don't

0:47:26.080 --> 0:47:29.360
<v Speaker 1>do that. You know, here's an indication of them driving

0:47:29.360 --> 0:47:40.759
<v Speaker 1>the football. They had fifth seventeen plays either third or

0:47:40.800 --> 0:47:46.480
<v Speaker 1>fourth down. Yeah, so that means first and second down.

0:47:46.560 --> 0:47:51.480
<v Speaker 1>You're not getting that many, right, that many first downs. Now,

0:47:51.480 --> 0:47:54.400
<v Speaker 1>they had nineteen first downs, so they were moving the ball,

0:47:54.520 --> 0:47:59.200
<v Speaker 1>but seventeen times it was third or fourth down trying

0:47:59.239 --> 0:48:02.319
<v Speaker 1>to convert, so that you know, and a lot of

0:48:02.360 --> 0:48:05.520
<v Speaker 1>that probably is because of the penalties. Can't have that

0:48:05.600 --> 0:48:10.040
<v Speaker 1>many holding penalties, Yeah, regardless if they're good calls or

0:48:10.080 --> 0:48:13.320
<v Speaker 1>bad calls. And a bunch of them were bad calls.

0:48:13.440 --> 0:48:19.200
<v Speaker 1>But where I should say, at least questions questionable calls. Yeah, yeah, Um,

0:48:19.280 --> 0:48:21.560
<v Speaker 1>you know it's almost gotten to the point now where

0:48:22.000 --> 0:48:26.280
<v Speaker 1>they don't want Tyrann Smith locking somebody up in space

0:48:27.280 --> 0:48:30.440
<v Speaker 1>well on the line of scrimmage that one. Yeah, and

0:48:30.520 --> 0:48:32.920
<v Speaker 1>it depends on where your hand placement is with the

0:48:32.960 --> 0:48:36.760
<v Speaker 1>shoulder pads and then it depends if this happens. Yeah, yeah,

0:48:36.880 --> 0:48:42.360
<v Speaker 1>that too, sure, Mickey showing the European flopping soccer mana

0:48:42.800 --> 0:48:46.440
<v Speaker 1>ah for those football players ought to be ashamed of

0:48:46.440 --> 0:48:50.400
<v Speaker 1>doing that gets penalties, which is crazy. But no, I

0:48:51.320 --> 0:48:55.200
<v Speaker 1>just don't. I'm not. My concerns just not defensively. Yeah,

0:48:55.239 --> 0:48:57.279
<v Speaker 1>I think they'll be. I think they'll I think they'll

0:48:57.320 --> 0:48:59.400
<v Speaker 1>be on the screws for this one as much as

0:48:59.560 --> 0:49:02.040
<v Speaker 1>is it just we've kind of talked about it as positive.

0:49:02.440 --> 0:49:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I know there's some people out there on Twitter that

0:49:04.040 --> 0:49:06.680
<v Speaker 1>are going nuts right now because we're talking positively about

0:49:06.680 --> 0:49:10.239
<v Speaker 1>a five and nine team. Well, but but they still

0:49:10.280 --> 0:49:13.080
<v Speaker 1>have the capability of moving the football. And if all

0:49:13.120 --> 0:49:15.439
<v Speaker 1>you need is an indication of what happened last week

0:49:15.760 --> 0:49:20.319
<v Speaker 1>in NFL with San Francisco and you know, beat in Seattle,

0:49:20.440 --> 0:49:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and you know that's all you need. Carolina hanging on

0:49:23.920 --> 0:49:26.520
<v Speaker 1>to the last seconds. Yeah, Hey, this five and nineteen

0:49:26.560 --> 0:49:28.359
<v Speaker 1>beat New Orleans and the opener. Now I get it

0:49:28.400 --> 0:49:31.520
<v Speaker 1>was the opener. Get that Jamis beat Philadelphia too, and

0:49:31.560 --> 0:49:33.680
<v Speaker 1>they took Philadelphia. They took Pittsburgh to the wire in

0:49:33.719 --> 0:49:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Week three. Yea, all with Fitz Magic at quarterback. But

0:49:36.600 --> 0:49:39.040
<v Speaker 1>that I'll take my chances. If they give up forty

0:49:39.080 --> 0:49:42.920
<v Speaker 1>points to the Cowboys there, that's fair. Cowboys will win. Yeah,

0:49:42.960 --> 0:49:47.640
<v Speaker 1>but I mean fans were unsettled by this loss, not

0:49:47.719 --> 0:49:49.440
<v Speaker 1>just because of the defense. Like you said, it's bad

0:49:49.520 --> 0:49:52.719
<v Speaker 1>day at the office. Offensively, we've seen some of these

0:49:52.840 --> 0:49:55.920
<v Speaker 1>same things, same things. Yeah, you'd like to be at

0:49:55.960 --> 0:49:59.240
<v Speaker 1>a better rhythm, like you said, better job finishing drives

0:50:00.160 --> 0:50:01.880
<v Speaker 1>as you finish out the season. You want to be

0:50:01.880 --> 0:50:03.319
<v Speaker 1>peaking as you get there. And they've still got a

0:50:03.320 --> 0:50:05.359
<v Speaker 1>couple of games to get there. Now they've got they've

0:50:05.360 --> 0:50:09.400
<v Speaker 1>got to get one. You've got possibly go anyway, this

0:50:09.440 --> 0:50:12.680
<v Speaker 1>is the one you gotta take. You've got to You've

0:50:12.760 --> 0:50:15.279
<v Speaker 1>got to play this game like it like you're not

0:50:15.320 --> 0:50:18.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna have it tomorrow if you lose. And I know

0:50:18.080 --> 0:50:20.560
<v Speaker 1>that's the wrong way to probably think about things, because

0:50:20.560 --> 0:50:22.680
<v Speaker 1>you do have an opportunity to lose, to beat the Giants.

0:50:23.400 --> 0:50:25.799
<v Speaker 1>I just don't think this football team wants to go

0:50:26.080 --> 0:50:29.040
<v Speaker 1>and have to Mickey said it yesterday. I don't think

0:50:29.080 --> 0:50:31.160
<v Speaker 1>this team wants to have to go to New York

0:50:31.200 --> 0:50:34.520
<v Speaker 1>and listen to us all week talk about and maybe

0:50:34.520 --> 0:50:37.160
<v Speaker 1>we won't talk about maybe like how much pressure. Yeah,

0:50:37.440 --> 0:50:39.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, to go and win a game at New

0:50:39.280 --> 0:50:42.279
<v Speaker 1>York in a divisional game and have to deal with

0:50:42.360 --> 0:50:44.960
<v Speaker 1>conditions that you really don't know and you know there's

0:50:45.000 --> 0:50:48.560
<v Speaker 1>so many unknowns. The known fact this week is you're

0:50:48.560 --> 0:50:51.680
<v Speaker 1>playing a team that's worse than you, You're playing at home.

0:50:52.000 --> 0:50:55.040
<v Speaker 1>You should try and find a way to finish these guys. Yeah,

0:50:55.080 --> 0:50:57.280
<v Speaker 1>you couldn't finish off the Colts, but you can finish

0:50:57.280 --> 0:50:59.960
<v Speaker 1>these guys off. This is a team you need to

0:51:00.040 --> 0:51:02.839
<v Speaker 1>finish off, and as I said, now, all they'll hear

0:51:02.960 --> 0:51:05.360
<v Speaker 1>if they don't win this one is how they lost

0:51:05.400 --> 0:51:10.080
<v Speaker 1>the last game twenty eleven and twenty twelve and twenty thirteen.

0:51:10.239 --> 0:51:12.279
<v Speaker 1>It'll come up. I'll guarantee you though, you'll hear the

0:51:12.360 --> 0:51:16.160
<v Speaker 1>romo clip. First question, why do you prevent that from happening? Yeah,

0:51:16.200 --> 0:51:18.719
<v Speaker 1>so I'm getting tea in the break room right before

0:51:18.760 --> 0:51:22.239
<v Speaker 1>the show. Brian walks in behind me and today, Yeah,

0:51:22.320 --> 0:51:26.360
<v Speaker 1>on TV this Morning, First Takes Graphics says, do the

0:51:26.400 --> 0:51:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys lack mental toughness? Now, I'm shocked that a stephen A.

0:51:30.560 --> 0:51:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Smiths show would have that, because, yes, it's so objective

0:51:33.560 --> 0:51:36.920
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys. But that's you know,

0:51:37.600 --> 0:51:40.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe that this is good for them be doubted a

0:51:40.560 --> 0:51:42.640
<v Speaker 1>little bit, you know, And I don't buy that, by

0:51:42.640 --> 0:51:44.800
<v Speaker 1>the way, I don't think they're I don't think I

0:51:44.840 --> 0:51:47.800
<v Speaker 1>don't think you lack mental toughness. If you go and

0:51:47.880 --> 0:51:50.680
<v Speaker 1>win five straight games, which season's on the brink, That's

0:51:50.680 --> 0:51:52.600
<v Speaker 1>where I'm going. You're three and five, and if you

0:51:52.640 --> 0:51:55.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't have mental toughness to bring this thing back, yeah,

0:51:55.160 --> 0:51:57.040
<v Speaker 1>you were mailing it in. That's the one thing I

0:51:57.120 --> 0:52:01.680
<v Speaker 1>give Jason Garrett credit for is that. Hell, he preaches

0:52:01.760 --> 0:52:04.239
<v Speaker 1>the right things, you know. I mean they were three

0:52:04.239 --> 0:52:06.239
<v Speaker 1>and five and dead in the water. Yeah, they were

0:52:06.280 --> 0:52:08.960
<v Speaker 1>dead and to come back and win five straight games

0:52:09.360 --> 0:52:12.120
<v Speaker 1>to have a chance to win the division. Yeah, yeah,

0:52:12.200 --> 0:52:15.600
<v Speaker 1>that's mental toughness. So that's that's just radio talk. I mean,

0:52:15.640 --> 0:52:17.920
<v Speaker 1>we know Steve and a his thing with the Cowboys.

0:52:17.960 --> 0:52:20.879
<v Speaker 1>It's a bit funny. It's fine, but shouldn't even use

0:52:20.920 --> 0:52:24.640
<v Speaker 1>his name. Well, maybe, you know, putting that chip back

0:52:24.680 --> 0:52:26.520
<v Speaker 1>on your shoulder a little bit this week, maybe that'll

0:52:26.560 --> 0:52:28.600
<v Speaker 1>be good for him. Maybe maybe that's, you know, a

0:52:28.600 --> 0:52:31.120
<v Speaker 1>little extra motivation. It's all you need. I don't think

0:52:31.120 --> 0:52:33.000
<v Speaker 1>you need any more motivation than being shut out, though,

0:52:33.000 --> 0:52:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I think I think guys were pissed off. Yea. Zeke

0:52:36.040 --> 0:52:38.400
<v Speaker 1>said it was embarrassing. Yeah, I mean this is a

0:52:38.440 --> 0:52:41.120
<v Speaker 1>prideful group. It's a young group that's learning how to

0:52:41.200 --> 0:52:44.479
<v Speaker 1>be maybe learning how to be consistent. But they play

0:52:44.520 --> 0:52:46.879
<v Speaker 1>hard and I just don't expect that to happen again,

0:52:46.920 --> 0:52:49.560
<v Speaker 1>I really don't. Um, we'll see what happens, though, He's

0:52:49.560 --> 0:52:51.359
<v Speaker 1>still got to execute on both sides of the ball

0:52:51.360 --> 0:52:53.399
<v Speaker 1>to be able to win. Let's grab another phone call

0:52:53.480 --> 0:52:55.799
<v Speaker 1>before we get out of here, Steve and Mississippi. You're

0:52:55.880 --> 0:52:58.279
<v Speaker 1>up next on Talking Cowboys. What's up Steve? Hell you?

0:52:58.320 --> 0:53:01.319
<v Speaker 1>What's up? Guys? How are y'all actually? Thank you? Hey? Uh?

0:53:01.640 --> 0:53:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Just kind a couple of questions really around the offense

0:53:04.520 --> 0:53:06.759
<v Speaker 1>both before I got to that. I just I want

0:53:06.760 --> 0:53:09.560
<v Speaker 1>to thank all of you all your job you guys

0:53:09.560 --> 0:53:11.880
<v Speaker 1>do man. I can't appreciate it more as as a

0:53:11.880 --> 0:53:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys fan. U. The content on the web is just amazing.

0:53:15.680 --> 0:53:20.000
<v Speaker 1>And Brian, your analysis is spot on. Good work. Um.

0:53:20.040 --> 0:53:23.600
<v Speaker 1>The question I had around is uh, um cavon Austin,

0:53:23.680 --> 0:53:26.000
<v Speaker 1>if uh, if we have him healthy back this week,

0:53:26.280 --> 0:53:28.759
<v Speaker 1>if you guys see him being a little bit more

0:53:28.840 --> 0:53:30.879
<v Speaker 1>part of this offense in terms of, you know, keeping

0:53:30.880 --> 0:53:33.800
<v Speaker 1>the ball moving, changing some things up. And Brian, I

0:53:33.800 --> 0:53:35.839
<v Speaker 1>agree with you on the waggles. To me, I think

0:53:35.840 --> 0:53:38.120
<v Speaker 1>that's where Dak is at his best, getting him rolling

0:53:38.120 --> 0:53:40.640
<v Speaker 1>out in the pocket, um, you know, just giving him.

0:53:41.000 --> 0:53:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I think time to sit in the pocket has been

0:53:42.719 --> 0:53:45.640
<v Speaker 1>an issue for us and and and him that mental clock.

0:53:45.680 --> 0:53:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I guess that was my next question around is that

0:53:48.239 --> 0:53:50.279
<v Speaker 1>is that a coachable thing where you know I'd like

0:53:50.280 --> 0:53:52.480
<v Speaker 1>to see him just tuck the ball and run when

0:53:52.480 --> 0:53:54.680
<v Speaker 1>that pocket starts to collapse. You know, you just you

0:53:54.760 --> 0:53:56.560
<v Speaker 1>just you'd like to see him take off. I know

0:53:56.600 --> 0:53:59.279
<v Speaker 1>there's some holes out there and some big, big lanes

0:53:59.320 --> 0:54:01.840
<v Speaker 1>you run in lood like you get your comments on that,

0:54:01.920 --> 0:54:04.040
<v Speaker 1>and guys, I appreciate your show. Thanks a lot, Thank you,

0:54:04.440 --> 0:54:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Thanks Steve. Well do you see big lanes, Mickey? Yeah,

0:54:07.680 --> 0:54:10.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't see that's been the problem. I mean, yeah,

0:54:10.520 --> 0:54:13.919
<v Speaker 1>I think Dak wants to run if he can, and

0:54:13.960 --> 0:54:15.960
<v Speaker 1>some of the problems they've had in the pockets him

0:54:16.000 --> 0:54:18.680
<v Speaker 1>with the middle of the pocket when things start to collapse.

0:54:19.280 --> 0:54:21.319
<v Speaker 1>If things are always coming from the edge, and he

0:54:21.360 --> 0:54:23.239
<v Speaker 1>had an opportunity to step up and go to his

0:54:23.320 --> 0:54:25.839
<v Speaker 1>left or go to his right, I would agree with

0:54:25.880 --> 0:54:29.280
<v Speaker 1>my friend from Mississippi, the honorable gentleman there. But I don't.

0:54:29.320 --> 0:54:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't see it. A lot of a lot of

0:54:30.920 --> 0:54:32.880
<v Speaker 1>operating now. I will say this. On third and one

0:54:32.920 --> 0:54:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the other day, he took a shot down the field,

0:54:35.880 --> 0:54:38.960
<v Speaker 1>overthrew Amari Cooper, who was wide open going to his left,

0:54:38.960 --> 0:54:40.799
<v Speaker 1>and usually Dak thro one who was left doesn't miss

0:54:40.880 --> 0:54:43.239
<v Speaker 1>that much. He could have run the football there and

0:54:43.280 --> 0:54:45.440
<v Speaker 1>got the first down. And fought for another day. You know,

0:54:45.520 --> 0:54:47.160
<v Speaker 1>got a fresh set of downs and here we go.

0:54:47.840 --> 0:54:51.319
<v Speaker 1>So I don't think there's a lot of opportunity to

0:54:51.400 --> 0:54:53.359
<v Speaker 1>run because I think the middle of the pockets where

0:54:53.400 --> 0:54:55.560
<v Speaker 1>he could run through. He saw him with the Saints,

0:54:56.200 --> 0:54:58.200
<v Speaker 1>so him in that game run through the middle of

0:54:58.239 --> 0:55:01.239
<v Speaker 1>the pocket, had some opportunities. But boy, a lot of

0:55:01.239 --> 0:55:03.440
<v Speaker 1>their sacks have happened in the middle of the pocket.

0:55:03.520 --> 0:55:05.400
<v Speaker 1>That's that's been a big, big problem. And the Colts

0:55:05.440 --> 0:55:07.520
<v Speaker 1>had some pretty well timed blitzes. Oh they did a

0:55:07.520 --> 0:55:10.080
<v Speaker 1>great job. And it's really hard when that guy's coming

0:55:10.120 --> 0:55:12.839
<v Speaker 1>off the edge. Yeah, you're gonna pull the thing down

0:55:12.840 --> 0:55:15.680
<v Speaker 1>and run. Well, you you only got the middle. Yeah,

0:55:15.719 --> 0:55:18.160
<v Speaker 1>and so it's not as easy as everybody thinks, oh

0:55:18.320 --> 0:55:20.880
<v Speaker 1>just run. Yeah. Well, early in the game he was

0:55:20.920 --> 0:55:25.120
<v Speaker 1>able to dump it off to Zeke, Dalton Schultz, those

0:55:25.160 --> 0:55:28.719
<v Speaker 1>guys well, and you know what, somebody somebody asked, but

0:55:29.080 --> 0:55:31.440
<v Speaker 1>what happened with Cooper? Right, Why I didn't write the

0:55:31.440 --> 0:55:33.879
<v Speaker 1>ball to him? Right? There was a lot of dump

0:55:33.960 --> 0:55:37.520
<v Speaker 1>offs to Zeke in that Yeah, that tells me the

0:55:37.600 --> 0:55:40.880
<v Speaker 1>linebackers were dropping dropping quick, and they were saying, okay,

0:55:40.920 --> 0:55:43.239
<v Speaker 1>we'll give you the underneath stuff. But you're not gonna

0:55:43.280 --> 0:55:45.600
<v Speaker 1>get us for sixty yards on one play. If you're

0:55:45.600 --> 0:55:48.839
<v Speaker 1>gonna throw it over the linebacker's head, then my safety.

0:55:49.239 --> 0:55:51.760
<v Speaker 1>And they started off the game. They may have changed

0:55:51.760 --> 0:55:54.160
<v Speaker 1>and I saw him go single safety high, but early

0:55:54.400 --> 0:55:57.200
<v Speaker 1>it was too safety to see. They were playing double

0:55:57.760 --> 0:56:00.560
<v Speaker 1>safeties deep, and so you were going to have a

0:56:00.600 --> 0:56:02.560
<v Speaker 1>hard time getting the ball down the field. They were

0:56:02.560 --> 0:56:06.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna make you drive the football and count on that.

0:56:07.080 --> 0:56:09.800
<v Speaker 1>If you're going to drive the ball for twelve plays

0:56:09.840 --> 0:56:12.440
<v Speaker 1>for eighty yards on the eleventh play, you were going

0:56:12.480 --> 0:56:15.839
<v Speaker 1>to screw up. It's almost like their defensive coordinator used

0:56:15.840 --> 0:56:19.680
<v Speaker 1>to coach here, Yeah, very similar. Well, he challenged Mickey's right.

0:56:19.760 --> 0:56:21.800
<v Speaker 1>He challenged them to drive the football, and they couldn't

0:56:22.280 --> 0:56:25.000
<v Speaker 1>without making a mistake, Yeah, a holding or something like

0:56:25.120 --> 0:56:27.200
<v Speaker 1>And you know who knows, Tampa may and may say no,

0:56:27.360 --> 0:56:29.160
<v Speaker 1>that's not the way we play. This is the way

0:56:29.200 --> 0:56:31.040
<v Speaker 1>we do well. If they play zone coverage, they'll get

0:56:31.120 --> 0:56:33.520
<v Speaker 1>killed in this game, because that's the one thing when

0:56:33.560 --> 0:56:35.879
<v Speaker 1>you watch them play zone in their secondary, that's where

0:56:35.880 --> 0:56:39.200
<v Speaker 1>they give it plays big place. They lose coverage a lot.

0:56:39.880 --> 0:56:42.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, they get confused on who's going where teams

0:56:42.960 --> 0:56:45.120
<v Speaker 1>have been able to put complete passes on them down

0:56:45.160 --> 0:56:48.520
<v Speaker 1>the field. That way back to practice today, What do

0:56:48.520 --> 0:56:50.440
<v Speaker 1>you expect the injury report to look like before we

0:56:50.480 --> 0:56:55.120
<v Speaker 1>get out of here? A lot of questionables. I think

0:56:55.200 --> 0:56:57.279
<v Speaker 1>Zach could go this week or you think he may

0:56:57.400 --> 0:57:01.319
<v Speaker 1>try to play without practicing. I think needs anything. Play

0:57:01.400 --> 0:57:05.000
<v Speaker 1>without practice might be the best thing if he's ready

0:57:05.040 --> 0:57:08.839
<v Speaker 1>to go. I mean, he's got to sprain to MCL. Now,

0:57:08.840 --> 0:57:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what degree it is, but it was

0:57:11.280 --> 0:57:16.080
<v Speaker 1>to the degree that their a brace and he couldn't play.

0:57:16.120 --> 0:57:19.680
<v Speaker 1>And normally it's two to four weeks of rest. It's

0:57:19.680 --> 0:57:22.040
<v Speaker 1>not two to four weeks playing with a brace on

0:57:22.040 --> 0:57:24.800
<v Speaker 1>your knee because that ain't getting in any healthier. And

0:57:24.920 --> 0:57:30.720
<v Speaker 1>the only way the MCL gets better is rest every year.

0:57:30.720 --> 0:57:33.520
<v Speaker 1>And this is the most hard earned Pro Bowl he's had, yes,

0:57:33.920 --> 0:57:40.280
<v Speaker 1>and and you know it's rest. The medial collateral or

0:57:40.280 --> 0:57:44.080
<v Speaker 1>ligament kind of regenerates itself that you can use all

0:57:44.200 --> 0:57:48.080
<v Speaker 1>the therapy you know, rehab you want, but mother nature

0:57:48.160 --> 0:57:51.560
<v Speaker 1>has to run its course. So yeah, I don't I

0:57:51.600 --> 0:57:55.280
<v Speaker 1>don't know that he's I'm saying he doesn't practice. I'm

0:57:55.320 --> 0:57:58.600
<v Speaker 1>saying Tavon's going to be limited, Sean Lee will be limited,

0:57:59.400 --> 0:58:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Sue a Fee will be limited. Um, who else is hurt?

0:58:04.200 --> 0:58:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Is that it? David Irving? David Irving. We just like

0:58:06.960 --> 0:58:11.200
<v Speaker 1>to see them more so than out there with with

0:58:11.280 --> 0:58:16.480
<v Speaker 1>one of the strength and conditioning coaches jogging. Yeah, I'm

0:58:16.520 --> 0:58:20.040
<v Speaker 1>just like I said, Mickey's right about Zack Martin. But

0:58:20.080 --> 0:58:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I think Zack Martin also understands that he was on

0:58:23.280 --> 0:58:25.960
<v Speaker 1>that sideline the other day and he realizes what's you

0:58:25.960 --> 0:58:29.640
<v Speaker 1>know we talked about players don't don't realize what's going on. No,

0:58:29.920 --> 0:58:32.400
<v Speaker 1>they realize what's going on. They do not want to

0:58:32.440 --> 0:58:33.919
<v Speaker 1>go to New York and have to play a game

0:58:33.960 --> 0:58:36.360
<v Speaker 1>to get in the playoffs. They know they have to

0:58:36.400 --> 0:58:38.640
<v Speaker 1>do whatever they have to do to get in right now.

0:58:38.920 --> 0:58:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't say sacrifice Zack Martin, but I think Zack Martin,

0:58:41.840 --> 0:58:44.640
<v Speaker 1>if he can, if he could buckle it up and go.

0:58:45.040 --> 0:58:47.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, now, it might be against the trainer's best wishes,

0:58:47.640 --> 0:58:49.400
<v Speaker 1>but they're not gonna put hurt players out there, and

0:58:49.520 --> 0:58:52.000
<v Speaker 1>trust me, they're not going to do that. But you

0:58:52.040 --> 0:58:55.040
<v Speaker 1>know he's probably gonna look at them and say, now,

0:58:55.240 --> 0:58:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I gotta play this one today, guys. You know, Yeah,

0:58:57.680 --> 0:58:59.560
<v Speaker 1>and that's I think that's where we're at. I think

0:58:59.560 --> 0:59:01.439
<v Speaker 1>that's right. Think there's a lot of guys out there

0:59:01.800 --> 0:59:04.200
<v Speaker 1>that are having to say. I think with Tavon Austin

0:59:04.240 --> 0:59:07.440
<v Speaker 1>to the caller's question about him as well, I think

0:59:07.480 --> 0:59:09.800
<v Speaker 1>you need to get him involved here soon if you can,

0:59:10.040 --> 0:59:13.600
<v Speaker 1>with returning punts and stuff, get him incorporated back in

0:59:13.640 --> 0:59:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the offense. Maybe that's Mickey's way of getting some boi

0:59:16.040 --> 0:59:18.640
<v Speaker 1>those big plays down the field. You got Cooper, you

0:59:18.720 --> 0:59:22.000
<v Speaker 1>got him, jet sweeps, screens, whatever you have to do

0:59:22.040 --> 0:59:24.840
<v Speaker 1>to let for punt returns. Gotta flip the field a

0:59:24.880 --> 0:59:26.760
<v Speaker 1>little bit here, just not getting anything out of that

0:59:26.800 --> 0:59:29.880
<v Speaker 1>punt return. All right, fellas, everybody, thanks for joining us,
