4
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: Ready for a break? Yeah? And so much for that.

5
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com

Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, September eighteenth, twenty nineteen, Season fifteen, episode

8
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: number forty six. Welcome to another edition of The Break,

9
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: live from the s WBC Mortgage studios at the Star

10
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: and Boyd. We have a lot to talk about today.

11
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: It is Wednesday. The Cowboys are heading into their next

12
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: game against the Miami Dolphins. We're gonna talk about the

13
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 1: Dolphins a little bit, but I think there are things

14
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: we'll probably want to talk about a little bit more.

15
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: Dave has his scouting report on the Dolphins offense, how

16
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: that matches up with the Cowboys defense, and we'll talk

17
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: a little bit about some injuries on the defensive side

18
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: of the ball for the Cowboys and how much that

19
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: may affect this unit even against a team that you

20
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: would think they should be able to beat. We'll talk

21
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: about how baby those matchups work, and then if we

22
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: have some time, we'll get to some questions. I know

23
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: you guys have been sending me questions throughout the morning,

24
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: so we'll try to get some of your questions answered

25
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: here in the second and third segments of the show.

26
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: How's everybody feeling this great? Perfect? Let's jump right in.

27
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: Let's first talk about one tackle tackle. Charlton was not

28
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: at practice today. I think we kind of confirmed that

29
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: he was not there. What does that mean at this point?

30
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: Because Eric Cowboys have to make a move today by

31
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: three pm to add Robert Quinn officially to the roster.

32
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: What does that mean? He's not going to be on

33
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: this team anymore from what it sounds like, and they're

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: trying to trade him if they can. If they don't,

35
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: think they'll just let him go. Yeah, well said, I

36
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, uh, just like everything else with it,

37
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: it's just murky, I don't know, Like he's not here.

38
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett didn't say anything about him not being here,

39
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: but he's They're out of practice right now and he's

40
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: not there. So it's pretty easy to connect those dots,

41
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: even if we don't have any word from the team officially.

42
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: It's frustrating. I get you know, we kind of heard

43
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: that and frustrating hoping that maybe Jason would just say

44
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 1: it then and he didn't. But I mean, if they're

45
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: trying to trade him and rights, that makes sense. That's

46
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: that would be the main reason why they wouldn't be

47
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: saying anything is if they can get something for him,

48
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: which if they could, I feel like they would have

49
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: done it by now. So I don't know where this

50
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: is going, but it certainly doesn't look like he's going

51
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: to be on the team after today. I would think

52
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: that there are teams out there that maybe starved for

53
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: a defensive end, that don't necessarily think they want to

54
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: risk the possibility of having to go him get through waivers.

55
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he is a former first round pick. If

56
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: there were play, if there were teams that that liked

57
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: him going into the draft. Maybe they didn't like him

58
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: as high as the Cowboys did, but maybe they liked

59
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: him going into the draft. You know, Cowboys do it

60
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: all the time. They take these guys that other teams

61
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: kind of cast off, and they say, you know, I

62
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: think with our coaches, with our system, we saw something

63
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: that we're like, you know, the team that first came

64
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: to mind for me was a team like the Giants.

65
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: It's a totally young team. They don't really have a

66
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: dominant pass rush or not that he's necessarily going to

67
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: step in and be that, But that's the kind of

68
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: team to me that might take a chance and say, hey,

69
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: let's bring this guy in. Let's see if we put

70
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: him in our environment, put him in our program, if

71
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: we can get the potential out of him that at

72
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: least somebody thought he could play, Bill Parcels, You should

73
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: always talk about that, like, if a guy gets drafted high,

74
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: somebody thought he could play at some point. So is

75
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: there a chance that you can maybe get something for him,

76
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: And would one of those teams maybe be willing to

77
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: step up and say, okay, here, take a seventh round

78
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: pick we're gonna take, bring him in and just see

79
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: what we can do with him. Yeah, it's totally possible.

80
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: And that's probably what's happening right now is the Cowboys

81
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: are trying to find a somebody who's willing to do that.

82
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: You know, the interesting part too, is that I don't

83
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: know what the agent's rolled is on this, because the

84
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: agent probably doesn't really want to shop him around to

85
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: try to get a trade because they'd rather just pick

86
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: where they want to go, you know, as opposed to

87
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: you know, somebody's saying we will trade for him, is like, well,

88
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: he doesn't really want to go there, you know what

89
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: I mean? Other than if someone picks him up off waivers,

90
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: but through a trade or through waivers or trade, then

91
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: they take the contract, he still gets the money that's

92
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: on that contract. If he doesn't he's a free agent,

93
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: does he get met less, does a team offer him less?

94
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: It's a team willing to give him what he already

95
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: has been given from that contract. So that would be

96
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: a reason why maybe the agent is pushing to maybe

97
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: get a trade to keep that money. Right. But if

98
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: you get claimed, you get claimed, your contract gets claimed,

99
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: so that's your clear waivers. And then my point is

100
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: either way, the agent probably wants either him to be

101
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: claimed or him to be traded, right, rather than him

102
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: being just outright released because you might not get that money.

103
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,239
Speaker 1: Noah Spence, wasn't he like a high second round pick? Yeah,

104
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: from a few years ago, and he was just signed

105
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: by the Redskins. So yeah, I think I think you're right.

106
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: I think teams will look at it and go, you know,

107
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: let's stay good chance on him. You know, but like

108
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: you said, if someone was starving for defensive end, I mean,

109
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: just like in anything, if you were starving, one taco

110
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: is not going to get it done. I mean, that's

111
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: that's just the fact I was wondering how that was

112
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: really good. If you're starving, you'll take it because you're starving.

113
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: But you really hope there's like a you know, combo player.

114
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: You don't want it taketo, right, you need a need

115
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,559
Speaker 1: a full burrito, like full burrito everything. Yeah, it's it's

116
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: jokes are endless here. Well they're about to come to

117
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: an end, I think, but go ahead. It's just it's

118
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: a frustrating thing to have to cover. I'm sure fans

119
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: are tired of hearing about it. I'm tired of a

120
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: good team and this like we're talking about number fifty

121
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: four on the russ right, and and you know they're like,

122
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: it's been going on for two weeks without a whole

123
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: lot in the way of clarity on either side, and

124
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: I'm just ready for it to not be a story anymore. Yeah,

125
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: I hope. I wish the best for him. If he's

126
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: not going to be on this team. I mean, no

127
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: ill will toward him as a person whatsoever. I don't

128
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: think he's a bad person. I think this just wasn't

129
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: a good thing for him or for the team personally. Well,

130
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: he's not saying he's a bad person at all, but

131
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: I think he's I think his uh, I think maturity

132
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: was was an issue here a little bit, especially when

133
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: it comes to you know, just like what does it

134
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: mean to be part of the team. And you know,

135
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: I know he was frustrated obviously, you know, and he

136
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: but he never really when you don't live up to

137
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: the first round expectations, I mean, it's tough, and he there,

138
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: and he showed that in one of those games. Uh,

139
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: one of the preseason games, I guess it was San Francisco,

140
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: and I think we were all standing there and listening.

141
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: We took had different takes on it, but I just

142
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: thought right there by listening to it that it was

143
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: gonna be hard, it's gonna be in this's not gonna

144
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: end well because it just just his mindset right there,

145
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: didn't seem like a guy that was hungry. To me,

146
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: it was kind of like, it is what it is,

147
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: and I'm okay with it. You guys kind of took

148
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: it differently, But that's okay, sad. I mean, yeah, you had. Well,

149
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: you know, I've since training camp, I've been the one saying, okay,

150
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: he was playing I was a dissip or embarrassment or whatever. Okay,

151
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: yeah I did say something similar to that, But again

152
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: it's at the time. Now, I just feel bad now

153
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: that I kind of understand the situation, You're a little better.

154
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: He's a really cool dude, he's a nice guy, but

155
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: it all comes down to his personality. It just doesn't

156
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: fit what Rotten Mary Nelly is about. It doesn't fit

157
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: the guys around him, and when you have that, it

158
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: creates problems and then you're not gonna be happy and

159
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: just being walking around unhappy, it's just gonna be bringing

160
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: more negativity around you. And I was asking around and

161
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: trying to figure out, Okay, do you guys regret this

162
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: decision of picking him in the first round, And it

163
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: came down to, like, no, we would if we went back,

164
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: we would have done exactly the same thing, because everybody

165
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: in the room agreed at the time, this is what

166
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: we're this is the highest guy that we have on here,

167
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: and who is available at this point, and he fits

168
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: what we're trying to get and what we need at

169
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: the time. So sometimes it just works out. Sometimes it doesn't.

170
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: They've gone really really lucky with like second round picks,

171
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: third round pick, even fourth round picks. So for those

172
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: people that get on Twitter and start saying, oh, what

173
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: a waste to a first round pick, you know, some

174
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: work some done. So it is what it is, which

175
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: you're not going to be one hundred percent in the draft.

176
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: And this team has been so so good through the

177
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: draft over the last five years that it would be

178
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: silly to try to harp on this. But assuming Taco's

179
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: time with this team is done, it's gonna look mystifying

180
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: like Jet because it's it's such a it's such an

181
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: outlier like not only you know, he never tapped into

182
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: the talent to justify being the twenty eighth overall pick

183
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: and everything we're you know, he's in the doghouse. His

184
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: personality kind of clashes with the coaching staff and his teammates. Well,

185
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: that doesn't sound like the minds that of the guys

186
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: that they have spent high picks on in the past, right,

187
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: like you know, the whole right kind of guy thing.

188
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: You know. Line one is like, and I don't want

189
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: to accuse Taco of not loving football, but like that's

190
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: the way these lofty picks have been wired to where

191
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: there's like no question about what they're about. Like you've

192
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: never even Zeke, who's had his share of problems. Anybody

193
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: you talk to in the organization will be like that

194
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: dude is like he's all business when he's inside those

195
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: four walls, Like you never question his commitment. You've never

196
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: heard anything about him being a bad teammate or a

197
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: bad football guy. And you have heard whispers and talk

198
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: about that when it comes to Taco, which so not

199
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: only the on field aspect of it, but the personality

200
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: aspect of it. Like none of it sounds like it

201
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: meshes with what they've done, right. But the problem with

202
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: that is you never know what you're going to get

203
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: until you get the guy in the building and the

204
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: people that they were talking to, and again the stuff

205
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: that's on the street, that's one thing. The stuff that

206
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: they get when they talk directly to people who are

207
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: connected to him, who've been around on him for years,

208
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: all of that information is I'm sure what they factor

209
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: in to decide what they think of persons. Of players

210
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: makeup is their mental makeup, how they view football, what

211
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: they what they value, right, And so all you can

212
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: do really is go by those things and make your

213
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: best determination and best prediction of what you think that

214
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: player will be. And then you get him in the

215
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: building and you may find out the sunction different again

216
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: and you're absolutely right. But they haven't been wrong very often, right,

217
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: And that's why I wouldn't change. And that's why I

218
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: go back to what Amber said, and I kind of think, like,

219
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: don't I saw it this morning. Dane Brugler, a guy

220
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: who's worked with us, he was talking about this and

221
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: he was like, you know, I think after this, maybe

222
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 1: the Cowboys reevaluate how they look at this, because they

223
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: they actually passed up on t J. Watt because it

224
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: wasn't as much of a a as good a fit

225
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: for what they were trying to do. And my thought was,

226
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't know that. You you've been so successful, you

227
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: don't let one situation that didn't work out for you

228
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: necessarily make you change your process. If you if you

229
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: have a good process and you're doing well, and they

230
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: have done really well in the draft, I think you

231
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: stick with your process. Maybe you give it a second thought, like, hey,

232
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: what did we get wrong on this one, and you

233
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: rethink how that worked. But for the most part, I

234
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: think they still kind of go the same way that

235
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: they've been going and just say that, hey, there are

236
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: gonna be sometimes you just don't win in the draft.

237
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: There's there's absolutely no reason to call the way they

238
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: do the draft into question over this when you look

239
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: at the wild success they've had everywhere else, but it

240
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: just looks mystifying compared to how good they've been everywhere else.

241
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: Like it's you know, the sore thumb. I mean, it's

242
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: circle it and bright red, like whoa, Yeah, that is

243
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: way below the standard that they've said everywhere else. And

244
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: this really isn't the first time that a first round

245
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: picks has played like this and for three years, it's

246
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: just one of the first times that they they've said,

247
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: you know what, like Jason Garrett doesn't have a contract

248
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: for next year, so why what do I care about

249
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: the future and how these drafts look. I mean, let's

250
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: get the best fifty three guys out there and the

251
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: best forty six guys, and you know, if he's a

252
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: first round pick, call though, I mean both of them probably,

253
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: I mean, but Jason's making the call for who's playing right,

254
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: so and then and then they're making the call for

255
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: you know. I just think that the philosophy change is like,

256
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: we don't really care where you were drafted, and we

257
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: saw that was some of the drafts this year, you know.

258
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: And then they cut the fifth round pick Mike Jackson

259
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: because he didn't do anything, and they cut Taco that

260
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: they gave him a few years, but he hasn't done anything.

261
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: So Georg's Armstrong is better, Kerry Hyder is better, and

262
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: Joe Jackson was better. So I mean, I just think

263
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: that before though they used to not do that, more

264
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: politics got involved. Now it's not as much, which is

265
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: that's refreshing. It's also a sign of a lot more

266
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: talent on the team right now. You don't have to

267
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: do that as much. You it's harder to make this team,

268
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: is harder to make the forty six. It's harder to

269
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: be a starter because you got a lot of talent

270
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: a lot of places. All right, let's take our first

271
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: break and we come back. We're gonna get into the

272
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: Miami offense. Dave's gonna give us a scouting report. Then

273
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 1: we'll get to some questions. You guys can hit me

274
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: on Twitter at Derek Eagleton will also take calls eight

275
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five five two two nine seven. We'll

276
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: be right back. This is the break. While a player

277
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: can look good on paper, it's when he's out on

278
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: the field that you really find out what he's made of.

279
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: That's why the Cowboys rely on more than just stats

280
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,439

319
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: we can. You're a jokes I am good at people

320
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: make jokes of all the Cowboys all the time. I'm

321
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: going I'm gonna tell you what. I watched both of

322
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: their games, the offense. I'll watch the defense tonight. I'll

323
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: watch both of their games and yeah, it looks really bad,

324
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: like there's no way around it. But you know they

325
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: pay these guys too, so you never know. Um, they're

326
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: thirty second in the league in total offense with one

327
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety two yards per game. They're not even

328
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: cracking two hundred yards that last week they didn't get

329
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: they were at thirty eight yards total yards in the

330
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of the game. Oh my god, one hundred

331
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: and sixty pass yards per game. That's thirty thirty thirty,

332
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: give or take Russia it's per game they've they're scoring

333
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: five points per game because they scored ten against Baltimore

334
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: none against New England. Um, it's it's it's not good. Um.

335
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: Their offensive line is a who's who of guys I've

336
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: never heard of before. Laramy Tunsel no longer plays there,

337
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick you all know who he is, which as

338
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: of right now, we're not one hundred percent sure. If

339
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: it'll Eve nim be fits Magic. It might be Josh Rosen,

340
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: who they traded for in the off season. I actually

341
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: I like their running backs, like not like, yeah, they're

342
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: not insanely like you know, you probably don't want either

343
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: one of them like starting for you maybe. But Kenyan

344
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: Drake is a fun, kind of do everything guy. I

345
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: remember really liking Calen Bailidge coming out of Arizona State.

346
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: He's six two, two thirty, kind of a bulldozer guy. Um, well,

347
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: I better stats though, Oh I mean, well no, no,

348
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: none of them, none of nobody's stats on Steam. But

349
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: his stats. I think I think he's had five carries

350
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: this year for nine yards. Yeah, well, and I'm not

351
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: at ninety nine for five. I'm not trying to paint

352
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: this guy like I'm not trying to paint either player

353
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: as a great player, but like, this offensive line is trash.

354
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into it. You know, it's it's awful,

355
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,959
Speaker 1: It's really bad. Uh. DeVante Parker who you would call

356
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: a disappointing first round pick, Albert Wilson, who I believe

357
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: spent time with washing him a disappointe because he eat.

358
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: But the reason why I say that, the reason why

359
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: I say that is because I think he's had some

360
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 1: some seasons where he was obviously much better than he

361
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: is right now. But can you also, I mean he

362
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: hasn't had a good quarterback When when is he had

363
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback that was worth anything? I mean, they bought

364
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: enough of Tannehill to pay him, so that's an all

365
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: good quarterback. We all know where's Tannahill now? I mean

366
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: who's who's thrown all those who's thrown all those amazing

367
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: passes to DeAndre Hopkins? Please do tell that would be

368
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: one Deshahn Watson who hasn't like played a full season yet, Like,

369
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: but he's DeAndre Hopkins has bawled with a lot of

370
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: career quarterback. But you're talking about one of the best

371
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: in the league. I'm not I can't let you do this.

372
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,959
Speaker 1: Derek DeVante Parker's best season of his career is fifty

373
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: six catches for seven hundred and forty four yards. Its disappointing.

374
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: It's disappointing. Okay, I'm saying, but how much do you

375
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: have that? Do you put on the quarterback? If you're

376
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: that's all I'm saying, you have to put some of

377
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: that on the I'd like to see last week's game,

378
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: but he was targeted seven times. How many catches? How

379
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: many end up in the dirt? Don't know, but I'm

380
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: just saying I don't know. All Right, we'll get we'll

381
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: get there. Um, I should take a whole segment though.

382
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: Right we're going all in on the Dolphins. I really

383
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: like Jachim Grant out of Texas Tech. He's a kick

384
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: return speeds through specialist. If he was he's Tavon, if

385
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: he was your fifth or sixth receiver, you'd feel really

386
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: good about it. But he's like their second or third receiver.

387
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: It's not great. Um, you keep saying it's not good.

388
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: It's not like I'm trying to be nice. Here's the one,

389
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: the one nice thing I'll say for the Dolphins. Is

390
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: I wonder how much this is skewed, but by what

391
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: I assume an absolutely atrocious defense. I haven't watched him yet,

392
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: but I wrote this down. The Ravens scored touchdowns on

393
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: their first three possessions of the game, so you're in

394
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: a twenty one zero hole at the start of the

395
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: second quarter. Patriots were only up thirteen nothing at half,

396
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: but then they scored like three of their first four

397
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 1: drives of the second So again not saying they're good,

398
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: but you're one dimensional out of the gate, like they're

399
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: averaging thirty rushing yards per game because they can't. Can't.

400
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: You can't run the ball when you're losing. The tween

401
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: coordinator is saying, you know what, our offense didn't score

402
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: their first three possessions of the game. I mean, so

403
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: we're already down one dimensional because our offense isn't scoring

404
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: all I know. We're sitting there in Washington like, Okay,

405
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: the first three possessions haven't been good, but you're only

406
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: down by seven points, like it matters. I don't know,

407
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: Like he hasn't had his one call, right, is it,

408
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: missus Harns. I don't think is it. I've never actually

409
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: I felt devastated last night. I was watching on my

410
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: laptop on my couch, taking notes, and in the fourth

411
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: quarter of this forty three nothing blowout, Hearns gets in

412
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: the game, and Fitzpatrick's I'm just like Alan, No, come on,

413
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: what was he supposed to do? He's supposed to just

414
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: feed back here because I like Alan Hearns, and I

415
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 1: feel bad that he's stuck in that mess. He's watching

416
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: Devin Smith's score. Seriously, all right, I don't know that

417
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: he would be able to do that. But Bryce still

418
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: over there. No, he got cut, didn't he. I don't.

419
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: I thought he got cut coming out of camp. All right,

420
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: here's here. Here are my notes. I write my notes

421
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: in my voice. So giving up tons of pressure on

422
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: the edge. Fitzpatrick interception on third snap in the game,

423
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: down fourteen nothing after two possessions. Lots of throws to

424
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, Like basically, this is what they do.

425
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: They throw bubble screens and um tunnel screens to the

426
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: receivers to get the ball out of Fitzpatrick's hands as

427
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: quickly as possible because he doesn't have time, or they

428
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: play fake and he throws a jump ball to DeVante Parker,

429
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: which I think has worked twice. Not DeVante park He's

430
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: a high point guy, like he can like that's what

431
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: he can do. He can go up and sky over

432
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: people and literally like if he's getting the ball, it's

433
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: like thirty five yards down the field with two guys

434
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: draped over him and they're just like, please catch this.

435
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: Um Ravens pushing the f out of the pocket. That's

436
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: what I wrote. Like he's just got guys in his

437
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: lap and fits is making tons of these throws on

438
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: the run like he's maybe got a second and a

439
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: half before he's trying to step up and get to

440
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: the right or the left so they can get anything

441
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: that's half decent, Like I don't even want to be good,

442
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: like anything that's just like, hey, this one thing. If

443
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: you put him in the right situation, they may actually

444
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: be able to do something with this. They don't give

445
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: up sixty the best we can say. They don't give

446
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: up sixty points. The defense will deal with them tomorrow.

447
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: Give me something half decent about the offense. Their field

448
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: goal in week one came from fifty four yards kick

449
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: or could kick from long distance. That's good he did

450
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: on that occasion. I'm biased because I do the draft

451
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: show another guy feel bad for it. I like Mike Gasecki.

452
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 1: He's their best type end. Uh, He's he's not well rounded.

453
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: He's a receiver tight end. He does that type. He's

454
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 1: he's got nice hands, like you can see like the

455
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: mark of a good receiver. Like he snatches the ball

456
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: like when the ball actually gets thrown to him. He

457
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: does do that. He had He's had a couple of

458
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: nice catches this year. He had a twenty six yard

459
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: or against Baltimore. He had a couple of nice ones

460
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: over the middle against New England. And I read an

461
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: article that the word atrocious was was you know, the

462
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: way to describe his blocking. He's not, oh like ending

463
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: Patriots game. Apparently he was. My note My note here

464
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: was LLL Gasecki way to block bro That's like, that's

465
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: literally like he's just kind of love tapping defensive ends

466
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: on their way past him. It's not great, He's not

467
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: If you're not, you don't want him to block um,

468
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: which I thought. I thought their interior offensive line was

469
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: honestly better against New England. But then like four different

470
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,239
Speaker 1: times you see New England's edge rushers come around and

471
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: push Fitzpatrick up into the pocket to the point where

472
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: then the defensive tackles just hugging him. Uh it's their

473
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: offensive line's not good. Um, so you're seeing Cowboys will

474
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: just pass. Well, the score, I mean, yeah, they'll probably score.

475
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: They'll I mean they'll I doubt it. I don't think

476
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: I mean, scored ten points all season, right, They've given

477
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: up one hundred two two. They'll score. They'll score just

478
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: because again, I mean, the Cowboys defense has played kind

479
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: of soft at the end of these games. The first

480
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: two weeks. They gave up a you know, Evan Ingram

481
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: had a Pat Statting touchdown and just said Pat Statting

482
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: stat padding touchdown at the end of that game. Yeah,

483
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: Like they'll score, probably just because you don't see NFL

484
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: teams get shut out two weeks in a row very often.

485
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: But like it won't be a lot, okay, and it

486
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: won't be it shouldn't be impressive, Like, well, I'm judging

487
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: this game. LSU played Northwestern State on Saturday, and the

488
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: LSU fan base was irate that Northwestern State scored fourteen

489
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: first half points. They lost sixty five to fourteen. But

490
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: like that's the standard, and like I'm sort of judging

491
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: this game based on that, Like, if it's in doubt

492
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: going in the halftime, that you should be disappointed. But

493
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: it's not good. So you've watched a lot of NFL football.

494
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: You grew up a Saints fans, so yes, you've watched

495
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: some bad football. I've watched a lot of foam. Is

496
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: this the worst team that you've ever seen NFL team

497
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: in two games that you've watched over two games? I

498
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: think it's see you can answer it, But well, I

499
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: saw on SVPs Sports Center the other night. Um, it's

500
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: the worst scoring margin. It's tied for the third worst

501
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: scoring margin in the history of the league. And like

502
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: one of those one of those teams was like the

503
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: Decatur Stalos, Rochester, the freaking you know, the RockHounds from

504
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: like nineteen twenty two. So they're flirting with historic ineptitude.

505
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: But I will say, you know, everybody, it's it's like

506
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: the meme culture where everybody's so quick to pile on,

507
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: like they'll they'll probably figure something out and approach something

508
00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: resembling competence. Maybe every problem the problem is they're doing.

509
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: They're doing what I never wanted to see happen in

510
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: the NFL, which is the true. But take the Browns.

511
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: They're just like every but the Browns that they really

512
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: just like, we're giving everybody away. It's a fire cell

513
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: whoever you want to come get them. Like, that's what

514
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: it feels like with the Dolphins. It does, and it does,

515
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: it does, and they might be I don't know. I mean,

516
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: the Browns win, oh in sixteen, but that's that's kind

517
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: of my point. Is like even the own sixteen Browns

518
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,479
Speaker 1: gave a couple of teams a game, right, and they

519
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: look like this, And that's my point, I think. But

520
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: that's a thing like this, because here's my point with

521
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, I think, not only are they giving away

522
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: or they're letting talent go in there they get they're

523
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: getting back picks. So that's their strategy, I assume. But

524
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, they still look at

525
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: this and this is I don't know, I wonder if

526
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: the locker room is now like they don't want to win,

527
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: and yeah, what are we doing here now? You know?

528
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: And so it's almost like you get into these games

529
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: and their players are basically things go wrong. They just

530
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: kind of give up a little bit. That's what I'm

531
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: wondering about. And that's where it can become a bigger

532
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: process for the rest of the NFL that this is

533
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: just such an easy game for this is this is

534
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: a longer conversation than we maybe have time for. But

535
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: I do like I'm pro tank in the sense of,

536
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: like I get what they're doing, Like acquired draft picks

537
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: make your team better. Look how quickly Cleveland turned their

538
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: roster around after they decided to do it. At the

539
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: same time, you can't commit to it on such a

540
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: level that, like your locker room just completely loses hope

541
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: that they'll ever be happy again. If a twenty two

542
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: year old first round pick Minka Fitzpatrick is begging off

543
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: your team after a week, then how are you supposed

544
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: to get better? Like he's supposed to be part of

545
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: the core that you're building for the future, and he's like, nah, dude,

546
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I think you trying to be

547
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: bad to get picks makes sense, But like, I don't

548
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: know if you can commit to it on such a level,

549
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: especially in a sport that literally risks your life, I

550
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: don't know if you can commit to it so much

551
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: that these guys just have no hope whatsoever. But I

552
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 1: just history leads me to believe that they will. They

553
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: won't be good, but like they'll kind of sort it

554
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 1: out and won't be losing by forty points every week.

555
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: I hope the test will be does every team take

556
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: them seriously? That'll be the part that where they can

557
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: sneak up on a team one week and just happen

558
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: to make some magic work that gets them either a

559
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: win or close to a win just because teams don't

560
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: take them serious. Can I read? I'm stealing My favorite

561
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: college football podcast is called The Solid Verbal, and they

562
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: do this when an offense has a really bad performance.

563
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 1: I'm going to read you their drive charts the results

564
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: of their drives from the first and second half against

565
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: New England. First half punt punt, punt, punt punt, second

566
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: half interception, punt, punt, pick six, pick six, turnover on downs,

567
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: turnover on downs, interception. I got, that's how well, that's

568
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 1: how it ended. Their punt team doesn't allow any blocks. Good, Okay,

569
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 1: that's something we can work that if what I'm watching for.

570
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: I think I think tackling is big here because they

571
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 1: try a lot of short stuff Like Fitzpatrick doesn't have

572
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: time to do the traditional stuff. So I mean, like

573
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: I said, more bubble screens into games then I'm used

574
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: to seeing from most NFL teams, not like a college game. Yeah, exactly,

575
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,959
Speaker 1: like very you know, Baylor Baylor type stuff like Texas does.

576
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: Get it to the fast guys on the edge as

577
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: quickly as you can because we're not going to have

578
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: much of a pocket. So how the linebackers and DB's

579
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: tackle is probably important. And uh and I bet you

580
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: there'll be some effort. I'm going deep moments from Fitzpatrick,

581
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: like because that's that's option number two, Like that's really

582
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: sling it to I mean, he can do that. He

583
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 1: can do that, that's part of his game. Those are

584
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: the only things that I saw that worked. I'm not

585
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: going to say consistently because they didn't, but like they're

586
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: the only things I saw that really what would period

587
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: I would say from the defensive line perspective on going

588
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: up against that offensive line, there are are going to

589
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: be some changes this week. I mean, just because it

590
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like Antoine Woods will be ready to play,

591
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: he might do something today, Garrett said. Tristan Hill will

592
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: probably play there um as for Tyron Crawford, you know,

593
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, but this this hip injury just seems

594
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: like it's becoming sort of a problem. This might be

595
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: a game where you rest him. Yeah, but then again,

596
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: Robert Quinn comes in, you know, for for that role.

597
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: So they they're pretty deep there on the defensive line.

598
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: That I mean, if if if the guys that aren't

599
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: playing are Woods and Crawford and you can replace them

600
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: with Robert Quinn and Tristan Hell, that's pretty good. They're

601
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: only touchdown of the season came against Baltimore when they

602
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: were down forty two to three, and basically Baltimore was like, a,

603
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to say that for sure,

604
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: but you tell me how impressed you are. I don't know,

605
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: Like I know, you know what. No, I keep saying,

606
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: it's not my job to take them serious. No, it's there,

607
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: and they're not. They're listening and probably getting frustrated with

608
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: us because they're like, this is the NFL. But I'm saying,

609
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: but that doesn't look like an NFL exactly. That's it

610
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: looks terrible. So Dave's right, like, you know, there's a

611
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: reason why there's a twenty one point spread. I mean,

612
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: that's that is unheard of. I think there's been thirty

613
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: five twenty plus point spreads in the history of the league.

614
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: So the cowboysn't ever been involved in them. I don't

615
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: know that, but and not any times I can ever

616
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: remember twenty one points. And if they win by twenty

617
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: one points, if they win twenty eight to seven, there's

618
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: gonna be people going just twenty eight. Yeah, no, seriously,

619
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: like seven. It's almost like those games you mentioned it early.

620
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: It's almost like those college games that all of our

621
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: teams play where you're playing Timbucto State and you're like,

622
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: we're expecting to put up fifty points and we only

623
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: hold them to ten, right, And if you don't, then

624
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: you disappoint it because you're like, if we can't do

625
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: that against them, then what are we gonna do against

626
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: For yourself, I'm an Arkansas fan. We need to win

627
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: those games. So just get a win. Yeah, if the

628
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys win this game thirty five seventeen, which we all

629
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: were very happy with against the Giants, there's the tone

630
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: of this show on Monday. Won't be good Saints. Saints

631
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: will take advantage of them. You can't do that against

632
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: the Saints. Yeah, it depends on what they're doing on

633
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: the field. You know, I don't know the score. I

634
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: don't really judge a game by the end score. I

635
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: mean depends what you're doing in there. You know you

636
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: talked about dak if who was it that was asking

637
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: if he'll be still be in the second? Yeah, you

638
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: don't know what the guys are going to do. And

639
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: I think this is the perfect game for this defense

640
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: to get back to where they need to get back to,

641
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, them regaining that confidence, that power, that that

642
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: excitement and all of that. Then making big place which

643
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: will play into the following week once they have to

644
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: go up and get in New Orleans. Yea, let's take

645
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: let's take a final break. When we come back, we'll

646
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about this game, maybe take

00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: be cheering because you get to cheer all the touchdowns,

696
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: all the turnovers, like yeah, yeah, it's a party. It's

697
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: a party. Not either way. I'm trying to not be

698
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: stressed on my football Sunday, and this should be about

699
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: as unstressful an NFL game as we've seen it. Like,

700
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: this is kind of game that's fun and entertaining to

701
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 1: bring your kids to because you're not so intent like, yeah,

702
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys up by seventeen, you can Yeah, we'll go get

703
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: some popcorns. Go get some popcorns, some cotton candyles. How

704
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: many fans are going to be there in the fourth quarter?

705
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a tough one. I don't know it really,

706
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 1: I mean, it is gonna be like a college game.

707
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: It will. That's uh, you know, watching the tape on

708
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: game pass, which not nobody's paying me to say this, Like,

709
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 1: if you can afford it, I highly recommend it. It's

710
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: so fun to be able to, you know, watch and

711
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: see the actual XS and O side of football. But

712
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: I think it was forty two ten at the end

713
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: of the first half, and the Dolphins scored on the

714
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: Ravens right before halftime, and like there were already almost

715
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,479
Speaker 1: nobody in the stands and there's like fifteen Dolphins fans

716
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:18,439
Speaker 1: like celebrating in the inspect respect to you guys, first,

717
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: still being there. All right, let's let's take some calls.

718
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: We got a couple calls rolling in here. We First,

719
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: let's take a call from Jordan and Odessa. Jordan, what up? Hey,

720
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: what's going on? Guys of the show, one of my

721
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: favorite talk my website. Thanks Dave, You're one of my

722
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 1: favorite follows on Twitter. Appreciate that. Um So, I had

723
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: a quick statement and a question for you guys. First,

724
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: I've been following the Cowboys for a long time, pretty

725
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: much my whole life. I don't think I've ever seen

726
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: a Dallas Cowboys team that has really celebrated with each other.

727
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: The locker room has been together the best that I've

728
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: ever seen. Um you guys can correct me if I'm wrong,

729
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: But every time they get a good stop or a

730
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: touchdown or anything, they all come together and celebrate together

731
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: and it just shows the type of locker room that

732
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: we have and I think that's awesome and it makes

733
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: me excited for the rest of the season. Now, my

734
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: question is going into this game. Yeah, Xavier Woods is out,

735
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: big loss, that sucks. I know Darian Thompson is probably

736
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: going to get the start, but are they going to

737
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: do kind of like a rotation with Donovan Wilson to

738
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: get him some game reps? M How do you guys

739
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: see that playing out? Is Cavan Frasier going to get

740
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: some reps in there as well? UM? I just would

741
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: like to know your guys thoughts on that safety position

742
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 1: and where that's going to go going forward. All right, great,

743
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 1: thank you for the call. Start first with the Wilson

744
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: Thompson Frasier. I think it's gonna be a rotationable play.

745
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: I really do, just because of the style of game

746
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: that it will probably lead to. M If it's close,

747
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, then you'll go with your starters more.

748
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: But I would think that this would be a game

749
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: where it would probably be good for Donovan Wilson to

750
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: get in there if he's healthy and ready to go.

751
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: He has been practicing, so I think for Cavon. I

752
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: think they all kind of get in there. Yeah, I

753
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: leaned toward like he said, I leaned toward the Thompson initially,

754
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: at least getting the majority of it. Maybe they'll mix guys,

755
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: and we've seen him do that, and cavan will come

756
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: in for a series or so, and and honestly, depending

757
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: on how long Woods is out, you probably want him

758
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: to be out there just to get that feel for it.

759
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: I hope, I hope Donovan Wilson gets to play a

760
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: lot in the second half because it means it's not

761
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: a dramatic game. And again, you don't see opportunities like this.

762
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 1: You see it in college all the time. You don't

763
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: see this in the NFL, where you can throw a

764
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: rookie out there in a not very high stakes situation

765
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: and let him get a feel for it. So that's

766
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: certainly my hope. We'll see. You know, it sucks they

767
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: don't like to tell us exactly how they're going to

768
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: do it, so we'll have to wait and see. But

769
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: that's my guess. Speaking about the locker room member, what

770
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: are your thoughts there on this team being a or

771
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: his thoughts that this is a part of the strength

772
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys is in the fact they have a

773
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: strong locker room and a team, a team that seems

774
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: to be very much together. I mean, I absolutely agree.

775
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: From the time I've been working here, this has been

776
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: the best locker room that I've seen so far. The

777
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 1: energy is great. Everyone gets along. The only one person

778
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: was Taco a little bit that was a loner, you

779
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 1: know type of stuff. But other than now, he's gone.

780
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 1: Now everybody else we think, we think, we think, yeah,

781
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: But aside from that, that's the beauty of this thing.

782
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: How much support you you get from each other. You know,

783
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: you really truly see players supporting each other. One of

784
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: my best things that I loved seeing is, you know,

785
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: the Marcus Lawrence even last year, him bringing Dorian's armstrong,

786
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 1: taking him under his wing, making him a part of things,

787
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: pushing him. Sean Lee with Layton Manders kind of taking

788
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: up his role, still helping him out, even though he's

789
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 1: kind of taking his job away from him. But there's

790
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: not animosity there. There's love and care and support everyone

791
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: just it's headed towards the same goal as a unit.

792
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: So that's really really good to see. All right, let's

793
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: take another call actually before we get to that call.

794
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: It's like a quick one from Twitter. Nacho sends this question.

795
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 1: He says, how many snaps do you expect Twin to have?

796
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: And on what side? Predominantly, what do you guys expect

797
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: to see from him this weekend? Taco and Nacho on

798
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 1: the same show. Yeah, that was a nick comment. I'm sorry.

799
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,919
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna play right in. That's what he does.

800
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: He hasn't played anywhere else since he got here, and

801
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 1: I would guess it's hard to I mean, let's okay,

802
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: let's say they play sixty five snaps of defense. I

803
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: would guess he plays a little bit less than half

804
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 1: of that, like somewhere between twenty five and thirty plays.

805
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: A couple of things that monitor is not only the

806
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: injury to Tyrone Crawford with his hip. Is this just

807
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: a normal Wednesday rest day for him him? Or is

808
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: this something more serious that that's what we got to

809
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: figure out. And then also the hand injury for for

810
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 1: Robert Quinn that he had. I still think he would

811
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: be able to play, but it might be something where

812
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be wrapped up. Still pretty good. So just

813
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: a couple of things. What are you y'all's expectations for him,

814
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: because even prior to the hand injury out training camp,

815
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: from what I remember, he wasn't playing well, at least

816
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: not to what we thought. You know, given the fact

817
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: that he is a veteran. The same thing here. I think, Yeah,

818
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: like Smith, I don't remember him like I don't. I

819
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: don't know he was bad. I don't think he wasn't.

820
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he wasn't talking for him. He was just

821
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: he wasn't a tyrant. I mean, that's what we were seeing.

822
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: He wasn't beating tyrant. And guess what a lot of

823
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: guys aren't gonna be tiring. We all saw gonna face

824
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: tiring every weekend. What was the last day he practiced,

825
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: like August fifth? Like, I mean, it didn't feel like

826
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: he had a very long campaign A long time. I've

827
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: already said on the field, I personally think he'll be

828
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: the second leading sack guy on this team this year.

829
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: So we'll see if that plays out that way. But

830
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: that's what I expect from him. Well, it doesn't look

831
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: that hard to do right now, That's my point. I Mean,

832
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: we went into the season saying Malik's going to be

833
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: a beast this year. Malik's made a couple of plays,

834
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: but Malik's not getting sacked so far, and my guy's

835
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: really getting sacks as Tank, My tank, Tank has one.

836
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I will say this Tank has been probably

837
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: the guy's gotten more pressure, me more disruptive than anybody else.

838
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to talk trash. I think Tank has

839
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: been really good. We just haven't seen him get to

840
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback anybody really so far. They'll slow this week

841
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: with ten. My expectation for Quinn right now is to

842
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: be on the field and be active, like after being

843
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: gone for a month and being suspended. I don't know.

844
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't need him to set the sack

845
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: record right now, but get out there, look solid and active.

846
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: But if if they can't generate some pressure in this game,

847
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: then it, like I said, like, if if they don't

848
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: look pretty good in this game, then I'm concerned, like

849
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 1: they should. There's a finish with sacks plural in this game.

850
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: Here's a fun stat that I bet you it's never

851
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: happened for the Cowboys before. The only guy on the

852
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: team that has a full sack does not have a tackle.

853
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: I bet you. I bet you don't find that around

854
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,280
Speaker 1: the league. The single tackle one too, because there's Tyrone's

855
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 1: the only guy that has a sack. I didn't realize,

856
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: so Tanks is a half half late. He kind of

857
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 1: got there. Yeah, it's the same time Crawford doesn't have

858
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 1: a tackle. It's just a little surprising just because he's

859
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: in the game because he you know, helps with the

860
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: run support and all that, but hasn't had one yet. Interesting, Well,

861
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: appreciate you join us. We're back tomorrow, will be at

862
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 1: our normal time. We'll get into the Mike and the

863
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins defense. Maybe they're a little bit better, who knows.

864
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that tomorrow. For Nick Eaton, Dave Him

865
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 1: and Amber Garcia. I'm Derek Eagleton. This has been The
