I obviously had the 9 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: situation with my mom and we sort of had rotational 10 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,319 Speaker 1: shifts not dissimilar from the Cowboys. This year, we've had 11 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: to have, you know, people step up. Haley has done 12 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: an awesome job. I've loved having her on here. But 13 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: good to get you and get a fresh voice back. 14 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: You've got like ten jobs. How have you been. I've 15 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: been good getting the gang back together. It feels like, yeah, 16 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: I have been all the play So sorry, guys, but 17 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: it's good to see all of y'all. So good to 18 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: see you. You know, we're talking about next man up 19 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: and rotations and combo shifts and Zach Morton I was 20 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: asking about this offensive line, and you know, they're playing 21 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: very coy this week about who's playing on the left 22 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: side and who plays on the right side, and if 23 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: you're just getting up to speed. A lot of this 24 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: necessitated by the fact that Tyron Smith is expected to 25 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: play this weekend and Terrence still went down at right tackle, 26 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: and so we've sort of seen these nuggets drop this 27 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: week that Tyron Smith could play right tackle, hasn't played 28 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: it since his rookie season. Jason Peters played on the 29 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: right side, hadn't done that since two thousand and five 30 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills. Josh Ball. We weren't too thrilled 31 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: with seeing so much so that Jason Peters felt the 32 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: need to go in there and play this position that 33 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: he hadn't played in so many years. You've got Tyler 34 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: Smith who can play left tackle and left guard. Have 35 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: I covered it all, ladies, There's a lot and yeah, 36 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: so they're sort of playing things close to the vest 37 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: on this one. I went up to Zach Martin and 38 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: I said, is it interesting to you that a couple 39 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: of years ago and Tyren Smith went down? Because there 40 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: was so much continuity on this offensive line for so 41 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: long and guys weren't playing out of position, and there 42 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of position flex until recent years that 43 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: they started drafting that way, that you were reluctant to 44 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: go to the left side because it was what because 45 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: I wanted him to refresh my memory, and he said, well, 46 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: there's different mechanics, there's different vision. It's just it's actually 47 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: easier to play right guard or right tackle versus right 48 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: guard over to left guard or right tackle over to 49 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: left tackle. Because he says, it's almost like it's it's 50 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: opposite everything right, So everything that you would be dominant 51 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: on one side is actually is different on the other side. 52 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: So I thought that was fascinating. Guys, when you are 53 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: listening and reading the tea leaves a little bit. Doesn't 54 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 1: sound like we're gonna find out until about Saturday. But 55 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: where do you guys see these guys lining up this 56 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: week against the Jacksonville Jackson Isn't this the Cowboys kind 57 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: of doing with the Texas to do do with their quarterbacks 58 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: where they're gonna surprise us a bit. I'm glad you 59 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: said that. I literally was just about to make that comparison. 60 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: But I think if you have the capability to play 61 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: the mind games with your opponent, and not just even 62 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: just the Jacks. I'm talking later on down the road 63 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: for that Eagles game. You know, I've been just dwelling 64 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: on that. If you have the capability to do that, 65 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: and you have the I guess luxury of having the 66 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: healthy guys to do that, do that. But I also 67 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: think it's interesting too to see where Tyron ends up 68 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: in the line, because again there was all that conversation 69 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: even when he was coming back, of where is he 70 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: going to be? But I think you have the luxury 71 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: of having those bets. You have Tyron, you have Zach Martin, 72 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: you have Jason Peters, who are all ready to do 73 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: what they need to do. And we saw it with 74 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: Jason Peters to on the drop of a hat, hey 75 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: go here, switch right to left, and they have the 76 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: muscle memory and the mental capacity to do that, because 77 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: we know a lot of that switch comes from a 78 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: mental capacity. But I think it's going to be interesting 79 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: and telling for Tyler Smith going forward in the future. 80 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: He has within the O line, because just because he 81 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: has been left tackle doesn't necessarily mean we won't see 82 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: him in other places. So I think it's going to 83 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: be interesting to see where the cards fall for him 84 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: to find his more permanent spot. But if you have 85 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: the capability to play mind games, please, Kellen Moore, I'm 86 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: ready for it. I mean, I think it's interesting too, 87 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: Like you talk a lot about how I feel like, 88 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: was it two years ago where we had how many 89 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: combinations of O line and everyone was so excited about 90 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: the fact that Zach Martin could move and do different 91 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: things and play his old college position, And you think 92 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: that's great, But then I think if you want to 93 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: go back to the Duke Manu Weather conversations where you've 94 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: got specialists and O line is all about continuity. So 95 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: while it should be latted to have a player that 96 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: has that position flex, I also kind of view it 97 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: as a little bit of a weakness when it does 98 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: come to O line, because they are, like you mentioned Dane, 99 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: kind of doing it out of necessity versus novelty. And 100 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: I think that's something to be cognizant of when we're 101 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: having these conversations like sure, could a Zach Martin play 102 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 1: multiple positions? Canna, Jason Peters, can you take a Pro Bowl, 103 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: you know, guy like a Tyrant Smith and ask him 104 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: to do something like that? Yes, do you want to know? So? 105 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: You know, for me, when I talk about guys lining 106 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: up in different positions, my goal is to get them 107 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: back to their core position as quickly as possible. I'm 108 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: not as excited and I'm sorry to like be that 109 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: person about the concept of doing all these switches because 110 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: I think, especially where this team is, they just got 111 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: an ikey game behind them, they need continuity, They need concrete, 112 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: they need sure thing, especially as they build upon what 113 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: they're going to have to end up doing in the 114 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: officeas and the postseason. Rather well, yeah, I mean to 115 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: pick a back off your point, like the continuity is important, 116 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: but I understand right now that they're just trying to 117 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: figure out what's best right now because you got a 118 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: quarterback that got his thumb hit and his bicep hit 119 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: last week, and you don't want that again because if 120 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: he goes down, he's done. So I whereas I totally 121 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: get what you're saying enschematically and with the position, it's right, 122 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: You're right that they're flipping things and that could change. 123 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: I don't know how well he plays well Tyrant does 124 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: at right tackle. However, going into this next stretch of 125 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: you know, going into the next stretch of the season. 126 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: You need your best five out there, right and so 127 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: right now a distinct and shout out to Tyrant for 128 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: even being open as old ass as not old, but 129 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: as as as much of a senior to be a 130 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: veteran in this game and to be open to even 131 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: doing that because Zach mar last time he was asked 132 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: to move, so just for him to come in and 133 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,799 Speaker 1: be open to that. You also don't get an addition 134 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: this late like this typically, so a lot of the 135 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: shuffling is like you haven't had this luxury all season 136 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: to figure out this, so they gotta get it figured 137 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: out now. If it is the time, this is the 138 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: only time right now before you go play the Philly 139 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: and try to finish out this season and go on 140 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: into the playoffs. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw 141 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 1: some of the stuff that we saw against the Houston Texans, 142 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: where it's a lot of endgame kind of what we've 143 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: seen with the defensive line in the past, where you 144 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: sort of your work because Jason Peters, you know, hasn't 145 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: started an entire game this season, Tyron Smith hasn't started 146 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: an entire game since he came back, and remember I 147 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: told you guys, I dropped it last week. You'll see 148 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: Tyron Smith likely in this Jazz game, but possibly in 149 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: a rotational role, So I could see them sort of rotating, 150 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: maybe even on just that right side. You keep Connor 151 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: McGovern and you keep Jason I mean Connor McGovern, you 152 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: keep Tyler Smith where they're out on the left side, 153 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: but at that right side, maybe we see all three 154 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: of those guys rotating at that right spot to sort 155 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: of backfill the assets of Terrence Still. I just think 156 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: it's fascinating that we're talking about Terrence still feeling so 157 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: irreplaceable because because this offseason, I'll never forget listening to 158 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: these guys at Combine and the love affair that the 159 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: staff had, and even as agent Eric burtardt being like, 160 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: they love him, Jane, they love him, and all of 161 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: us are going really and how I mean we just 162 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: watched on just what was it, one play Dak throws 163 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: an interception, they get hands on him, and that prompted 164 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: a guy like Jason Pierce to be like, I gotta 165 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: get in this game and help him out, and that 166 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: resulted in a ninety eight year drive and a score 167 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: to win this one. So that is what I'm keeping 168 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: an eye on in this game. And like I said, 169 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: you know, you bring it up. I love that they're 170 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: finally playing coy about this. And we've only seen one 171 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: padded practice this week on Thursday. Weebody kept saying it 172 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: it's all going to be based on practice. I kept 173 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: looking over there. They're hiding the offensive linemen. We're not 174 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: seeing them do much. It's likely that this is gonna leak, 175 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: probably on Saturday, but I don't anticipate at leaking sooner 176 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: than that. I think they're and even if you try 177 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: to trip up some of these not saying that I did, 178 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 1: but even Clarence admitted that he was trying to. These 179 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: guys are being real careful. We had Bridget Condon from 180 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: the NFL Network, She's got this game on Sunday, and 181 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: I had her here at the start with me, and 182 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: I pulled her over to ask some questions of Zach 183 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: Martin and she said the question was getting Tyrant Smith back? 184 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: What is he ad? And she and he thought he 185 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: said where's he at? And he got real defensive, tightened up, 186 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: and he goes, you know, I can't say that, And 187 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: I just thought that was so funny because it was 188 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: almost like everyone's on high alert, like don't leak this. 189 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: You can hear like Mike McCarthy like in their heads 190 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: like this reminds me of when he first came to 191 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: the team and he stripped the numbers from the blue 192 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: and white scripts and everyone everyone's like, who are we 193 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: even watching? Like big football guy, move like that's I 194 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: swear to you. Like they're in the meeting rooms being like, 195 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: don't you even give this away? And I kind of 196 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: love it. I do too, although I will say that, man, 197 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: I think that's how Mike kind of got off on 198 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: the wrong foot with some of us because Bobby Belt 199 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: and I were covering that verna Field Network and Bobby's 200 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: tracking like so and So's in black socks, so and 201 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: So's in this because we were trying to figure out 202 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: who's and then you know, the broadcast that covers this 203 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: game found out literally at the last minute that this 204 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: was happening, and they can you imagine calling a game 205 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: and not seeing who was out there these guys. I mean, 206 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: it was just it was and that was at at 207 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: and T Stadium, so we were it was. That was 208 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: a maddening first start for Mike and the media, and 209 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: we're like, Jason Garrett just showed us everything. I don't 210 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 1: get it. It was a moment in time for sure. Well, 211 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: and I think them being coy two kind of says 212 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: the writing on the wall is we're going to play 213 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: around a little bit with what we have and then 214 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: potentially work up to what their studio line is going 215 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: to look like going into the Eagles game and then 216 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: more importantly the postseason, because they're in a position now 217 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: where they just need to win this weekend and there's 218 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: multiple playoffs snais that we'll talk about, but um to 219 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: get their playoff Berth and I think when you're in 220 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: that position, you have the luxury of doing the on 221 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: the job training, if you will. But but this is 222 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: not a team to be slept on. And I just 223 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: talked about yes there, remember we went we went down 224 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: some of the opponents, and we'll break down Jacksonville later 225 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: in the show. We talked about this yesterday. Their record 226 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: does not reflect how good Jacksonville is when you look 227 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: at how close they've played some of these games against 228 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,559 Speaker 1: some pretty good teams that are gonna be in the 229 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: playoffs this postseason. In order to have success in the postseason, 230 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: you need really good play not only from your defense 231 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: but your quarterback. And Dax seemed as frustrated as probably 232 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 1: any of us watching these games. He's thrown nine picks 233 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: and his last eight games. After the game, he was 234 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: even shocked at how many in the volume with which 235 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: he's played it at And today he was asked about 236 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: that a little bit, and you know, I thought he 237 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: brought up a good point. Sometimes you can overcorrect too much, right, 238 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: And he said he's looked at every single interception, and 239 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 1: every interception there's a story, right. It might be a 240 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: miscommunication with the receiver, it might have been the offensive line. 241 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: We talked about yesterday, some of the zone coverages that 242 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: they were seeing that were a little bit different than usual. 243 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: But he said, each one tells a story, and that's 244 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: why he doesn't want to overreact too much and overcorrect, 245 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: because there is an overcorrect action sometimes. I know what 246 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: I've gotten feedback early in my career, you sort of overcorrect. 247 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: You're tightening up and you're pushing, and you don't need 248 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: to do that. Some days it can just be an 249 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: off day, right, And so that's kind of what it 250 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: felt like when we were talking about it, but he 251 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: was the first to say, look, I'm frustrated and we 252 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: need to clean it up. And yesterday we talked about 253 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. He said, sometimes it's the breaking points and 254 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: being more precise with some of the angles, and so 255 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: I get the sense that he's figured out. But I'll 256 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: go around the table real quick before our first break. 257 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: Are you guys at all concerned about the volume of 258 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: interceptions in recent weeks and can you make sense of them? Well? 259 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: I was concerned, but then, like Dak said, when you're 260 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: going back and watching the games, there's context to the interceptions. 261 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: I would say, like two or three year on him, Yes, 262 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: but you can there's a reason for everything, especially with 263 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: the quarterback position, there's a lot of trickle down effects. 264 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: So I like that response from him. I'm hoping that 265 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: he just sometimes the second the interceptions right before the 266 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 1: sickness second half though, have been killers, and they are 267 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: definitely able to come back from that. But I don't 268 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: want him to lose the aggressiveness because we've talked about 269 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: for years. You know a lot of people felt like 270 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: Dak played more conservative and you wanted him to throw 271 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: the ball more. And now that he's gained that aggressives 272 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: and you just talked us about that, like you don't 273 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: want to kill this or kill the aggressiveness. So I'm 274 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 1: glad that he's aware and he's looking at everything contextually. 275 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: I'm not as worried about it, but it is something, 276 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: especially before the second half, that I believe has kind 277 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: of shifted the tide at the end of the half, 278 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: and so hopefully that's something he corrects knowing where he 279 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: is in the game and just what to do in 280 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: those situations to avoid those turnovers going into the half. 281 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: My short answer to your question is yes, yes, okay, 282 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 1: or you can do that, or that. I don't give 283 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: a short answers, so let me let me clarify or yes. 284 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 1: My point that I think that I really am holding 285 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: into is what you just mentioned is he's taken the 286 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: second to look into and really dive into each and 287 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: every one of him. They each have a story, and 288 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: I think the qualitative side of this commentary is important 289 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: because not all of them are on him, and I 290 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: think that you have to take accountability whether you're the 291 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: receiver you know, whether you're a dak. I think you 292 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: also need to look at if he's throwing into tight coverage. 293 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 1: You know. I mean, he's sixty six point nine percent 294 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: with completions for the season. He's top ten in the 295 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: league right now. Stats are amazing, But you know, I 296 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: think it's still not good enough for what he expects 297 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: of himself, what he can do, and what I think 298 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: he's going to do. So for me, no, I'm not 299 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: okay with where it is, but I do feel like 300 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: I am pleased with the accountability with the assessment, and 301 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: I do think he's capable of making the recovery. And 302 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: I like what you mentioned where he's like, I'm not 303 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: I can't dwell on and I have to just assess 304 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: and move on and be surgical about it because football 305 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: is such a mental game and a guy like that 306 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: who's gone through something pretty traumatic, you know, with his 307 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: injuries and just the position he plays a team he 308 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: plays where all of that, right, Like, you just have 309 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: to be matter of fact and have you know, a 310 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: short term memory loss and be like, yeah, that sucked, 311 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: and I'm not going to do that again. So I 312 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: think for me, it's more of a trickle down effect, 313 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: and it starts at the top and some people seem 314 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: to forget Dak is not at the top, and so 315 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: it starts with play calling Kellen Moore, How is that 316 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: going to be assessed fairly for Is it setting Dak 317 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: up for success? Is he throwing into tight coverage a 318 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: little too much? Is there too many screens? Is the 319 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: run game not being established enough? So I think it 320 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: starts there, and then you take the accountability Dak, which 321 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: he always has done. I think he has always done 322 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: a very impeccable job of doing that. Take the accountability 323 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: for that, But then it also goes back. I think 324 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: it's the interceptions obviously are worrisome, but what worries me 325 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: more is the communication factor and is that still an 326 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: issue because this has been an issue we've been talking 327 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: about for weeks now, and this goes back to man 328 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: I want to say, Dak's first week of return post injury, 329 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: we're talking about, oh, the communications off, and that's seemed 330 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: to have been a conversation that we've been carrying on. 331 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: But I think what worries me the most is that 332 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: factor of it. When is the communication getting cleaned up 333 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: and where is it a miscommunication? Where is the misque 334 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: coming from and how is that getting cleaned up? Because yes, 335 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: you you know, from a fan standpoint, you can sit 336 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: back and say, oh, Dak, they're another interception, but which 337 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: you don't realize when you go back and you look 338 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: at it. There's so many things that led up to 339 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: those interceptions happening, whether it was his arm getting bummed, 340 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: whether it was you know, the receiver not turning around, 341 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: or just little timing issues. I think what it comes 342 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: down to for me, the most worrisome thing is when 343 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: are we going to see the communication factor cleaned up? 344 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: Because that is to me, what's killing them the most. Yeah, 345 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: I think when I look at deck Prescott, I think 346 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: sometimes he tries to be a little Patrick Mahomes and 347 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: extend the plays right. But like today he said I 348 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: need to sometimes throw the ball away a little bit more, 349 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: and he also was asked, or you can use your 350 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: legs a little bit more to give this offense a 351 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: little bit more of a layer that we've seen in 352 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: the past that I think is as I mean, he 353 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: was a dual threat quarterback early in his career, although 354 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: I have to say every time I see him run, 355 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, I know, don't do it right. But when 356 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: I talk about the Patrick Mahome thing, I say that 357 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: respectfully in the sense that Patrick is able to extend 358 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: some of those plays and sort of play street ball 359 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: because he has a Travis Kelsey and Dak doesn't really 360 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: have that. Right now now, I'm not going to sit 361 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: here and annoint t t why Hilton is that guy, 362 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: but I do think that Ty has been through enough 363 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: offensive coordinators, He's played in enough postseason games, He's got 364 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: enough of that speed to get ahead of the ball, 365 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: because I feel like he's either been throwing behind or 366 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: throwing ahead of some of his guys. They're just not 367 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: getting in the right place. I think having t why 368 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: whether he scores a touchdown for you this season period, 369 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 1: I think at least helps you convert on first downs, 370 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: on some of those third downs. A guy that's got 371 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: speed and allows you to stretch the field a little 372 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: bit more, which is what you haven't really had. And 373 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: I think what I've noticed with these wide receivers don't 374 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: but you, guys, once one of them starts to pop off, 375 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: you start to see the other guys, and so I 376 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: just think you need almost like what do you call it. 377 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: I don't watch a lot of NASCAR and stuff like 378 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: a pace car, right, Oh yeah, I think you kind 379 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: of need t Y. I'm like or Ford in a 380 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: game to sort of be your pace car. Yeah. They 381 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: literally they do this thing where they like rag off 382 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: of each other's energy and it's like it's like they 383 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: do I'm sorry, I'm a nerd out, but I don't 384 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: even know the full terminology. But yes, it is something 385 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: like I felt like that's what a Maury Cooper did 386 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: with right, and so when people are trying to say, 387 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: what's this this thing missing? Yeah, but I noticed after 388 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: CD had that big game against the Packers, then it 389 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: was Michael Gallup had that two touchdown game. I don't 390 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 1: think did CD have a touchdown and that two touchdown 391 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,439 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup and I can't remember it not, but I 392 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 1: felt like CD at least was making big place and 393 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: that allowed Michael Gallup to have the game. And I 394 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: think when you had a Maury Cooper here as a 395 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 1: sort of your pace car, that's why we were talking 396 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: three one thousand yard receivers. Yeah. But to your point 397 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: about some of the scramble drill and all that stuff, like, 398 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: that's something that I can wholeheartedly say that I felt 399 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: like this team is lacked this season. When Dak was scrambling. 400 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: That's been one of Dak's best abilities to me is 401 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: his escapability and throwing on the run, and we've seen 402 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: him make big plays in the past with that. This 403 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: was to add to your point, I'm hoping that t 404 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: Y comes in and is know, those guys that scrambles 405 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 1: back to the ball keeps fighting too, because Michael Gallup 406 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 1: gets it. A lot of those guys get it, but 407 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: just to consistently have it. It's a it's a will 408 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: thing and it definitely is a veteran. It's an awareness 409 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: thing to know, Hey, that plays broken down already, let 410 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: me go fight back to the ball from our quarterback 411 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: and help him out. And it's something I'm looking for 412 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: that's huge, and I don't think we should sleep on 413 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: that component that he could potentially bring to the table. 414 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: I think a Jason Peters like we've seen, is he 415 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: going to be an every down guy? Is he going 416 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: to be a consistent starter? Like? No, but let's not like, 417 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: let's not downplay the value that a guy like that 418 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: has brought, Like, I don't think we're gonna have a 419 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,479 Speaker 1: donharri Post situation on our hands with t Y. I 420 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,959 Speaker 1: think he can serve as a pace car or at 421 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: least the guy that has been there that can help 422 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: be a mentor, because again, like eighty eight is doing 423 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: great right but like he hasn't. He doesn't have his 424 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: made skins on the wall, and it is what it is. 425 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 1: Like he will one day, but he doesn't right now. 426 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: And I think, again going back to Ty, before we 427 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: take the spreak jazz, jazz is in my year, we've 428 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: got to take a break. I hear your girl. I 429 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 1: think Quit stands out to me as his postseason experience. 430 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: The fact that when we were talking to Dak today 431 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: and I was even talking to Ty, Ty said, the 432 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: one thing that he's just getting his hands around is 433 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: cowboys speak, because and I asked, explained that to me, 434 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: seems like we're all running the same stuff, Like you 435 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: can look at this team and they're running the same 436 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: but what we might call this thing, somewhere else is 437 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: calling this thing. So he's just getting his mind wrapped 438 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: around that. But kudos to him if he's able to 439 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: come in here on Monday, run a few routes after 440 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 1: literally helping his kids out with carpool and football practice, 441 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: and start against the Jacks and then you have them 442 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: really ready to go against the Eagles and in the postseason. 443 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: I think that's huge. All right, we're taking our first break. 444 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: Micah Parsons had all of those comments about him VP. 445 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 1: He claims he was short clipped.

Jordan by a lotta of the 502 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: Eagles was talking about the fact you need to focus 503 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: on who they were playing this week. So we asked 504 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons about this. We've got a clip. But he 505 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: did say, uh, what do you think about the feedback 506 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: you've gotten so before? And he said, I'm sure they 507 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,199 Speaker 1: hate me. But here he was explaining the fact that 508 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: he felt he was short clipped, and then I'll tell 509 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: you why I believe him. Are you getting in the 510 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: back lash from Philly? Yeah, I'm pretty sure they hate me. 511 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: Like the Clarify today, Are you standing on what you 512 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: said or what I always standing on? I mean, you 513 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: got a sam on everything you said, just as a man. 514 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: Obviously they small clipped it and just took one line 515 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: of what was really talked about, but no point intended 516 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: or no disrespect. It hurts. I think he's doing great 517 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 1: this year, but you know what I mean, I'm a 518 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 1: defensive guy, and you know I said defenses. There's a 519 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: team to watch I mean, I mean, they just got 520 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: hell of a players over there that's making plays all year. 521 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 1: So from a defensive aspect, you know, I know how 522 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: offensive guys just kind of get all the credits. So 523 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: I just want to stick up for the defensive guys 524 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: because the conversation was most valuable player? Is it just quarterback? 525 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 1: And sometimes I say, well, I know a couple of 526 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: defensive guys that deserve to be in that conversation, or 527 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: even other positions, you know, So, I mean even receivers. 528 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: Look at what Tyreek Hills doing this year. So it's 529 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: nothing towards no quarterbacks or anything like that. It's about 530 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: most valuable player and what people bring to their team. 531 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 1: That's how our conversation was about. So that's just where 532 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: I stand on it. Okay, So I don't know about 533 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: you guys. This is why I'm a strong and I 534 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 1: feel funny saying this because we have a podcast. But 535 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: the reason why I don't go on a lot of 536 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: podcasts is in the past I've gotten myself in trouble. 537 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: Not myself getting myself in trouble. I'm having a conversation 538 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: that has new on to it. There's context that is important. 539 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 1: Even this is why I hate Twitter. Sometimes and we 540 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 1: go on the locker room or we get a sound bite, 541 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: sometimes it's not just the first sentence or two that 542 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: makes one hundred and forty characters on your show. You 543 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: need to give it a little bit more time to breathe. 544 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:20,919 Speaker 1: And so he felt he was short clicked. But he 545 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: literally said exactly what he was saying there to us 546 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: on this podcast. But everyone ran with this thing and 547 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: made it a deal. I asked him, I said, getting 548 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: the fact that we're getting into the postseason, you're playing 549 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 1: the Eagles next week, are you a little reluctant to 550 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: be talking as much like another word to say less? 551 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: And he said he's never going to say less. That's 552 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 1: who he is. But your thoughts when you guys heard 553 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: it and his explanation, I understood it because i'd seen 554 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: him tweet about I don't say about two three weeks ago, 555 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 1: just in regard to the MVP conversation like that. He 556 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: felt like defensive players should be in the conversation. So 557 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: when I watched the podcast and listen to it throughout, 558 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: I already knew the context. He just a defensive player 559 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: that feels like, why y'all not giving us, no shine, 560 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 1: And to his point, I mean the MVP conversation, there's 561 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 1: plenty of guys that I've thought, like, maybe he is 562 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: the most valuable, and it's been defensive players. So I 563 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 1: understand where he's coming from. You know how much he 564 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: is Yeah, Like, no, I mean listen, like a hundred percent. 565 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: Actually I really do agree with him, And if you 566 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 1: actually listen to the entire clip he starts talking about 567 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 1: like Darius Slay, Like he literally goes to another Philadelphia 568 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: Eagles defensive player, so he removes the argument from the 569 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: Eagles fans. But of course that would ruin the narrative 570 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: if we included that in our conversations, right, So like, yes, 571 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 1: Jane like he was clipped, But I also think he 572 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: has a point, like MVP, how often are we ever 573 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: talking about anyone outside of a quarterback? It's not just 574 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: in the NFL, it's in college football too, Like the Heisman. 575 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: When you think Heisman, do you ever think of any position? 576 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: Rarely outside of quarterback? Like DeVante Smith is another one, 577 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: But like would you name a defensive player? It's not 578 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: an offensive award? But somehow both of these awards historically 579 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 1: and statistically, whether you like it or not have turned 580 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: into exactly that. And I think that Micah Parson is 581 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: on the lips of every single person talking about NFL 582 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 1: football right now, and I think he kind of has 583 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 1: a right and be a point. Yep, he has a 584 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 1: fantastic point. He's guys have been saying this for years 585 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: and Michael obviously he's growing as a player, he's getting 586 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: better and he sees MVP is a big deal. And 587 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: I'm sure to him and to other defensive players they 588 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: feel like it's not even attainable because it has been 589 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: an offensive thing. Yeah, not to be like this, like 590 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: do not to interrupt you, but like if this was 591 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: like a Jalen Smith saying these types of things, like 592 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: I not to be rude to him, but like he 593 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: doesn't have the same stature that Mica does, then I'd 594 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: be like, boy, you need to chill out for a minute. 595 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: But like it's Micah Parsons, Like I'm gonna I'm gonna 596 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: listen when you talk. Oh, you just took my point 597 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: about to say, like this is only a story that 598 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: would surround the Dallas Cowboys. I mean, really, it's a 599 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: non story. When I first saw it, I was like, 600 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: I know, what he meant, Like, why are we talking 601 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: about this? This is just so it's so not worthy 602 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: of the conversation in my life right at least because 603 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: we know what he meant, because we have context, We 604 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: actually listened to the full thing. But we know that 605 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: it's just people take what they want and they run 606 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: with it. And that's how it got into being this 607 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: bigger conversation than what it is. But it is proof 608 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: that America's team is America's team, because if this is 609 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: any other team, if this was somebody from I don't know, 610 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: say the Buffalo Bill's talking, it wouldn't have blown up 611 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: like it did like it was. But it's also coming 612 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: off a week where Mica had really upset a couple 613 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: of people with his thoughts on the Brittany Grinder situation. 614 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: So I think it was sort of why are we 615 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: trending again? Well, and then I mean, it's also just 616 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: the it's gonna be ramped up because that Philly game, 617 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: yeah weeks is next week or whatever, was like a 618 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: little mini super Bowl. It's a big deal, so everyone's 619 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: gonna be pulling in clipping. I think Lane Johnson retweeted 620 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: something I was like, y'all y'all for real, like the 621 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: football player. So the players to me like like jor 622 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: Milatta like, now, y'all, by the way, has an outstanding voice. 623 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: Yeah did you hear when those three guys are sending this? 624 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if Cowboy fans have paid attention to this, 625 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: but they put out a Christmas out actually liked it, 626 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: and Milata he was free flow and I was like, okay, yeah, 627 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: let's go. You should go on the voice. Uh. I 628 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: didn't mean to cut you off. Now it's okay. You 629 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: you made another good point because they was really singing 630 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: on it. I'm sorry, But do you guys know how 631 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: many defensive players have actually won MVP? And I just 632 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: wonder if if Mike's a little sour here, because remember 633 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: we talked all the comparisons of Mica to Lawrence Taylor. 634 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor was the last one to win it back 635 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: in nineteen to eighty six. The only other guy to 636 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: do it was before him, Alan Page in nineteen seventy one. 637 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: So you'd have to go back. How many decades is that, guys? 638 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: Like four decade? Almost four decades was the last five? Then? Yeah, 639 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to talk. You know, it was almost 640 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: four decades since the defensive players won it, so defensive 641 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: players have won it, and so Mica Parsis was just 642 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: talking about it. And remember, there was a lot of 643 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: conversations about him. You know, it was like what he 644 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: got Rookie of the Year last year, defensive Rookie of 645 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: the Year, and he was up for Defensive Player of 646 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: the Year. But he's also I see there are some 647 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: odds out there. We can't talk about odds in a 648 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: lot of places, but there are some people that have 649 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: put him in the conversation now way down the list. 650 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: I think Jalen Hurts has made a hell of a 651 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: case because I think you could argue, and I think 652 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: that's where people were getting in the weeds was some 653 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: of the conversation was also you know, as it system 654 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: or is it Jalen Hurts. But you could talk to 655 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: a lot of people. What you're seeing from Jalen Hurts 656 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: is so different than what he was doing even last year. 657 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: And so that's why a lot of people, even though 658 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: yes you've seen some great defensive play, I think having 659 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: a guy like a J. Brown has really helped this 660 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: offense this year. Jalen Hurts has had a lot to 661 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: do with extending the plays. What he's able to do us. 662 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: He's just so elusive when you watch some of these games. 663 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: And to finish the whole conversation around like MVP and 664 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: even when I said about the Heisman, I just looked 665 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: at the Heisman, the only primarily defensive player to win 666 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: the award was Charles Woodson. So like that again, like 667 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: you can have your opinions about Mica. You can say, like, 668 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: hey man, maybe you shouldn't talk so much whatever you 669 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: want to say, like there is merit to the core 670 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: of his argument about and beat those kinds of works. 671 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: Let's kick that around real quick. Again. I'm throwing this 672 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: off topic for you guys, and so if you don't 673 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: want to jump in, that's fine. I just feel like, yes, 674 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: a defensive player can make a big impact. And you 675 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: could argue, I would say, last year when you had 676 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence out in a rookie and Micah Parsons coming 677 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: in and doing what he did last year to give 678 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: this team one of the best defenses they've ever had. 679 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: I think he made a strong case last year. But 680 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 1: when you look at the quarterback, you are responsible so 681 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: much for not only leadership, but you're having to communicate 682 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: with so many different position groups. If you have a 683 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: bad game on some levels, your defense can bill you out. 684 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: But if you're off, if your quarterback is not playing well, 685 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: that really hurts your season, like we've seen it with 686 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: good teams, Like we've seen it in the past. I'm 687 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: trying to think one that comes to mind right now, 688 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: where you've kind of had a trash quarterback but the 689 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: rest of the team is winning despite you. To have 690 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: a good one. For me, I have one. I'm not 691 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: gonna say. I'm not gonna say trash, but I mean, 692 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: I mean Jimmy Garoppolo has never been He has never 693 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: been a guy that's going to toss the ball around 694 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: and do a whole bunch of stuff. But you pair 695 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: him with a great run game and a bomb defense 696 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: that gives him short fields, gets him turnovers, plays physical. Yeah, 697 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: that that would be the first person I think of. 698 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: But it's I struggle with it too, because when we've 699 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: talked about it multiple times, every time you do sounds 700 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: or tails from the other side, coaches are the first 701 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: name that comes out of their math mouth. Isn't Dak Prescott. 702 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: A lot of time it's not it's it's this defense 703 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: and Michael Parsons and how he can wreck a game. 704 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: I think Dad can change a game, absolutely, but Michael 705 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: can literally wreck a game. And I think his value 706 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 1: is so different than a lot of players because there's 707 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: not that many players that can do that. But but 708 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 1: I think the argument is Michael Parsons is such a 709 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: generational type player. For the most part, when you look 710 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: at the success of a team, it really goes as 711 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 1: your quarterback goes. I mean, we've seen teams that have 712 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: won despite not having I mean, look at the Cowboys 713 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,400 Speaker 1: in their run without Cooper Rush. You could make that argument, 714 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 1: but I think when you look at over the totality 715 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: of the foot of the NFL and this award, most years, 716 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,439 Speaker 1: if you lose your quarterback, your team isn't and there's 717 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: not one singular player on defense that's going to make 718 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: a difference. I think that, honestly, defense could be wrong. 719 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 1: Though I kind of I hear Michael's point. I do agree, 720 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 1: like if you look at it, but I also think 721 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: like that's the nature of the position for defense is 722 00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: more of like it's kind of like oh line, a 723 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: little more like an unset hero, right, you know, it's 724 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 1: with defense. It's like, your job is to get your 725 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 1: offense onto the field to go win the game. For you, 726 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: your job is it to go win the you know 727 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: what I mean. Like it's it's almost like they are 728 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,839 Speaker 1: set up to help be the stepping stool for Dak 729 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: Prescott and team to come in and like carry the 730 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 1: ball across the finish line. Like that's just kind of 731 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: a little bit of the nature of it. And look, 732 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: you could make the argument if Mica Parsons, god forbid, 733 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 1: got entered this year, I don't know if you've got 734 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: another guy that could affect because even if Micah Parsons 735 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: isn't getting the sacks, just what he's doing on the 736 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 1: field has allowed guys like I mean, when can you 737 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: remember hearing names like Doran's Armstrong William. He changes the 738 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: whole gang plan, right, And that's why the MV I 739 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: just wonder if that the conversation's coming from him, because 740 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: it's a little bit of him going absolutely am I mean, 741 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 1: but why else would it? Like? And I think say 742 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 1: that as far as Mica, he is a generational player 743 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 1: and he has every right to stand on his stand 744 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 1: and say I deserve the credit because he has done 745 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: is something that you're not going to see from another 746 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: defensive player for probably years to come, and he can 747 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 1: acknowledge that, he can recognize that. I am all for 748 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: people taking the credit when they should, but also I 749 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: think it opens up a different conversation, specifically with the 750 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 1: Cowboys this season, because we've seen the defense really having 751 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: to carry the work the workload this season, especially when 752 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,759 Speaker 1: you had dak Out, Cooper Russian and then all of 753 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: that kind of turned which you saw their top three 754 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 1: offense tide. You saw a dominant defensive team, and I 755 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,879 Speaker 1: think when you look at it from that context, and 756 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: had this season not been that way, it wouldn't be 757 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: such a conversation in depth like this. But because we've 758 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 1: seen how much the defense has impacted this offense when 759 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 1: they haven't been able to communicate well and they haven't 760 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,240 Speaker 1: been making the plays like they need to and cleaning 761 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,400 Speaker 1: up things week to week and penalties and all of 762 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: those things, you are winning games because of your defense 763 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: for the majority of the season. That's what the conversation 764 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 1: has been, and I think Mica makes a very good 765 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: point in saying, hey, give credit where credits due, but 766 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: also Mica has to Remember, there's not going to be 767 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,479 Speaker 1: another Micah Parsons for years to come, you know, so 768 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: it's it's interesting. And yes, the court, I'm not taking 769 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,839 Speaker 1: anything away from what Dak Prescott does for this team 770 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 1: or any quarterback in this league, because obviously there's a 771 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,319 Speaker 1: reason your quarterback shines. But he has a great point. 772 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: I just think, you know, he's also forgetting he's a 773 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 1: very special kind of player that you're not going to 774 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: see the magnitude of that for probably years down the road. 775 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: I mean, when was the last time we heard that 776 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: in the nineties and the eighties. He's a very generational player. Yeah, 777 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,320 Speaker 1: all right, Well I love this because on Mediamash Clarence 778 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 1: and I never shut up, and poor Nui is always like, 779 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:44,839 Speaker 1: we gotta get to a break, getting to a break. 780 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 1: I love that our shows reached that point where we've 781 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,959 Speaker 1: all got such strong takes on some of these these 782 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: topics that I need to rush as to a break. 783 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: Because both you girls did a lot of work in 784 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,800 Speaker 1: locker room today as we look to scout the Jags. 785 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,919 Speaker 1: We barely talked to the Jags in a media map, 786 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 1: but this is a team we talked about yesterday.

All right, Jess, 827 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 1: let's start with you. You're in the locker room today 828 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: scouting the Jacksonville Jags, sort of talking to some of 829 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 1: these players about some of the favorable matchups. What did 830 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:30,280 Speaker 1: Chi lean? So? When doing my homework, what I've noticed 831 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 1: is the Jags are coming off of a real high high. 832 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 1: They scored twenty points within four turnovers last week. So 833 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: this is going to be a game of who plays 834 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: the most complimentary football because we talked about this last week. 835 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,800 Speaker 1: That's what I heard. The reaccording theme was that worked 836 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 1: for the Jags last week. Now the Cowboys, of course, 837 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 1: we know Dak coming off of the turnovers. He has 838 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 1: nine for the season. So in order for Dak to 839 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,719 Speaker 1: feel like he doesn't have to pass the ball so much, 840 00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: what do we need to establish while the run game? 841 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,840 Speaker 1: So here's a couple of people I want you to 842 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: keep an eye on. I'm going to get this name right, 843 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:08,399 Speaker 1: Foyer Alua Khan. This is somebody that I really want 844 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: you to keep an eye on as far is potentially 845 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 1: trying to stop the run early because something interesting he 846 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 1: has that tied to dan Quinn back in Atlanta. Dan 847 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 1: Quinn was part of the draft class. That part of 848 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 1: getting him in that draft class. So I just want 849 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,839 Speaker 1: to point that out. On a high school besties with Zeke, 850 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,320 Speaker 1: so knows his game very very well. I always enjoyed 851 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,919 Speaker 1: the matchups early on in their careers. Of those two, 852 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,400 Speaker 1: there you go, and so shout out to my co 853 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 1: host Brandon who sent me this clip of dan Quinn 854 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 1: talking about Foya back in twenty eighteen. Very weird to 855 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 1: see dan Quinn in Atlantic gear. I just want to 856 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,759 Speaker 1: throw that out there. He says that they will play 857 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 1: him at will a lot, and that the things to 858 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,439 Speaker 1: watch out for is the speed that Foyer brings and 859 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 1: also the longevity of him. He's able to block well 860 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,799 Speaker 1: and all of that. He also plays square is something there. 861 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,600 Speaker 1: So he's physical, he plays square, all of that good stuff. 862 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 1: Somebody else Linebacker Chad Muma, who I was looking at 863 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: the practice report right now. He was limited both Wednesday 864 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,440 Speaker 1: and Thursday dealing with an ankle injury. Something about Chad 865 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 1: is the amount of tackles. This man has scary eleven 866 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 1: combined tackles against Detroit, and he also had one point 867 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,759 Speaker 1: five sacks during that game as well. And then very 868 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,359 Speaker 1: last but not least, I want you to keep an 869 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 1: eye on linebacker Devin Lloyd because if Chad doesn't play, 870 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 1: Devin's been the one to step up and really take 871 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,760 Speaker 1: that spot. But something too is if Chad plays, Devin's 872 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 1: gonna be integrated a little bit more, which is something 873 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: that the Jags are playing with that versatility, they're really 874 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,760 Speaker 1: starting to dip their toe in that water. So he's physical, 875 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,760 Speaker 1: he's complete, and you can expect to see him getting 876 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,400 Speaker 1: off of blocks. That's something he's very, very tight with. 877 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,200 Speaker 1: So all good names, keep in mind, your linebacker group 878 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,960 Speaker 1: with this Jags team is not somebody, not anybody you 879 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,360 Speaker 1: really want to sleep on. Again, capping the run is 880 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 1: going to be their goal early on, So there you 881 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,799 Speaker 1: have it. Nah, Yeah, to your point, their linebacker Cord, 882 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd, all those guys, they fly around and they 883 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,360 Speaker 1: are shore tacklers. So the run game for the defense 884 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 1: hopefully gets some guards up on these guys. But in 885 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 1: regard to some of the matchups I'm looking at, I 886 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 1: got to talk to j Ron Curse because you have 887 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,319 Speaker 1: Evan Ingraham that's coming off of a huge game he 888 00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,799 Speaker 1: had last week, one hundred and sixty two yards two tds. 889 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 1: How's that matchup gonna be? He kind of laughed at me, 890 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:18,480 Speaker 1: kind of, you know, he kind of chuckled at me, 891 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 1: like he knows what's up. He was very aware of 892 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 1: his stats from last week, to say the least. So 893 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 1: that's a key matchup to look at. Also, too, you 894 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,759 Speaker 1: got d Ron Bland playing that nickel corner going up 895 00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 1: again against Christian Kurk, who's been cooking. I mean, he's 896 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 1: eight hundred and seventy four yards sevent tds. He's definitely 897 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,280 Speaker 1: for second and red zones, red zone touchdowns in the NFL. 898 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,160 Speaker 1: He's the safety blanket. He's that slot guy that we're 899 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 1: kind of we're kind of hoping that Tui becomes for 900 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,320 Speaker 1: a dack, just that go to guy. That's definitely a 901 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,960 Speaker 1: matchup to look at. And Trayvon Walker on the defensive 902 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,960 Speaker 1: side of the ball, had a big game last week. 903 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 1: Um had to strip the strips, sack, fumble rather but 904 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,479 Speaker 1: you also had three pressures. So offensive line is gonna 905 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,239 Speaker 1: have to come play because those guys are able to 906 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,319 Speaker 1: get penetration, especially in the middle of that defense. This 907 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,400 Speaker 1: defense is scrappy, like the Jags defense is scrappy the 908 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:08,080 Speaker 1: middle of the pack basically everywhere else, but like especially 909 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,960 Speaker 1: against the run, they can stop you. I've not constraints 910 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:15,400 Speaker 1: on Walker did not participate in Wednesday or Thursday's practice, 911 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,080 Speaker 1: to just want to throw that out there. He's also 912 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 1: dealing with an ankle injury and something else about Evan 913 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 1: Ingram that I was kind of shocked to hear, as 914 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:23,840 Speaker 1: he's on pace to having one of the best receiving 915 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 1: seasons by a tight end in JAG's history, So he 916 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 1: is not one to be slept on. He's literally reviving 917 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,799 Speaker 1: his career over there when Doug Peterson and those guys 918 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,719 Speaker 1: are doing a fantastic the fantastic job with how many 919 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,719 Speaker 1: they have a lot of weapons on the outside, so 920 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,279 Speaker 1: the Cowboys corner safeties, all those guys are gonna have 921 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,920 Speaker 1: to come play. Do not let five and eight fool you? Nope, 922 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:49,040 Speaker 1: Na last the seat, all right, good stuff from the 923 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 1: locker room, ladies. I know fans that aren't always getting 924 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 1: a chance to scout the opponents at least have an 925 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,799 Speaker 1: indication of some weapons and some matchups to keep an 926 00:44:57,800 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 1: eye on, so real quick, I know this is where 927 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 1: we start talking playoff scenarios. It's my least favorite part 928 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,279 Speaker 1: of my job because it's complicated every week. So the 929 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,400 Speaker 1: simplest way for the Cowboys to get to the postseason 930 00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,880 Speaker 1: is win against the Jags. If that doesn't happen, if 931 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,239 Speaker 1: Dallas gets a tie plus New York or Washington does 932 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 1: not end in a tie is one way. If Dallas 933 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,600 Speaker 1: ties plus Seattle loses or ties, they can get in. 934 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 1: If Seattle loses plus Detroit loses or ties, they can 935 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 1: get in. And if Seattle loses and Washington loses, they 936 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,799 Speaker 1: can get in. So the easiest ways Dallas win or 937 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,520 Speaker 1: Seattle loses and Washington loses. Those are your playoffs scenarios. 938 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,520 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy and the team not talking about it until 939 00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 1: they get to eleven. Let's hope they're talking about that, 940 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: and we are talking about that next week on Girls Talk, 941 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,359 Speaker 1: Boys Talk. We will see you next time, Kelsey, great 942 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:46,960 Speaker 1: seeing your smiley face. I will see you guys a 943 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,799 Speaker 1: getting next week too. Bye, guys.
