Oh, Ben, Sorry, 43 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. What you're talking about, Well, 44 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: you know what, we don't give Beam a segment like 45 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: we give Lucius a segment like they give him as 46 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: Lucius just kind of goes in and does his thing, like, 47 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: we don't give Chris any any segments. So maybe we 48 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: should give Chris a segment. Never know, you never in 49 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: the off season. Maybe in the off season we ought 50 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: to do a segment for Chris, you know, the Beamer 51 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: or something. I don't know, best stuff, best of them 52 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: all right, um, lest he's all in, all right, let's 53 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: jump in. I do want to talk first about we 54 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: do have a game coming up here. We do. Brian 55 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: has a game later in the show, but let's start 56 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: first with Jerry Jones. He talked this morning on one 57 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: of five to out three of the fan Um. He 58 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: did mention that that Layton Vanderesh could miss a couple 59 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: of games. That being said, I wanted to talk a 60 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: little bit about what that could mean for this team. 61 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: Obviously these games are somewhat important. I don't know that. 62 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: At first, after losing to Jacksonville, my thought was, well, 63 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,399 Speaker 1: maybe these three games are not as important. But then 64 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: we here last night that there's a possibility Jalen Hurts 65 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: doesn't play for the Eagles for a week, two weeks, 66 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: whatever it might be, and so it became a little 67 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: more important, like maybe there is a chance that. Being said, 68 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: let's talk about the linebacker position first. What do you 69 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: think is the is the What did you take from 70 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: the game, because I know Jerry mentioned in the in 71 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: the in that same interview that Jacksonville took advantage of 72 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: the fact that Laton vander Esh was out. Once he 73 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: was out, what did you see from that game that 74 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: made you think that, yes, they took advantage of it, 75 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,839 Speaker 1: and how those linebackers played for the rest of that game. 76 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: I don't think Anthony Barr is a natural linebacker, and 77 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: I think that he's he sits out there in coverage, 78 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: he gives up some plays. That's not what he's done 79 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: a lot of Minnesota. He's a he's a versatile guy, 80 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: and he's a pass rusher. But I do think that 81 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: he's not as good as Layton Vanderesh is there from 82 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: an awareness standpoint, I don't think Deman Clark is as well, 83 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: and why would he be, you know, being a young rookie. So, um, 84 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: they lose some some stuff there and and he's and 85 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: Layton's had a good year and it's just it's unfortunate 86 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: that that happened. And the injury to his neck scares 87 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: everyone because of his history. Um, but it sounds like 88 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: it's better than it could have been. They're going to 89 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: be cautious with it, but I do feel like he's 90 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: going to be back in time. That's why they're not 91 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: going to go on the outside and get anyone else. 92 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: They're going to bring to Moan Clark, you know, not 93 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: bring him up, but you know he'll he'll play Jabril 94 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: Cox might play some there. So I feel like they 95 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: are confident in this situation. Yeah. There, that's you know, 96 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: listening to Jerry talk about it this morning, he feels 97 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 1: like that the problems that they do have at linebacker 98 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: that they're able to handle within house. You know, you 99 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: have guys like Nick was talking about playing out of 100 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: position a little bit. And the one thing that Layton 101 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: Vandersch does, he's really he's like a calming effect on 102 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: the front seven when they're very, very aggressive in the 103 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: way that they play, you know, the way they would 104 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: get after the passer, and Layton is kind of a 105 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: guy that's there to kind of clean up things. I mean, 106 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: when you know, maybe it's you know, they bust the 107 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: line and he's there to make a tackle. It's only 108 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: a gain of four and not a gain of twelve 109 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: or something like that. I mean, he has ability to 110 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: read react when they started going with the counters and 111 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: the reverses and stuff like that. When you get teams 112 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: that are flying, that's why teams do this against the Cowboys. 113 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: It's because they're so aggressive up front that they know 114 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: that they're going to get a move in one way, 115 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna wall him off, and then the ball is 116 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: going to come back the other way. And the one 117 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: thing that Layton does is he kind of sees through 118 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: all that and he's like, he's not going to get 119 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: fooled on a lot of plays. Whether it's point of attack, 120 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: he's fine, or whether the ball goes the other way, 121 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: he's fine. So that's what they really really missed in 122 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: this game. I Mean, I feel like with Anthony Barr, 123 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: a veteran guy that doesn't move as well as he 124 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: once did. You know, we haven't really you've seen Anthony 125 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: Barr the rusher, and I don't know if it will 126 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,239 Speaker 1: ever see Anthony Barr the rusher. Right now, he's Anthony 127 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: Bar the linebacker who played very well in the goal 128 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: line stand against the Houston Texans. That's kind of in 129 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: that small space, that's an Anthony Barr type of game. 130 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: But when it turns into having to the movement and running, 131 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: I don't know if he has the burst and that 132 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: that extra gear that he once had as a player. 133 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: And it's it's clear. I mean, he got caught in 134 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: a bad situation and coverage, you know, for him to 135 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: have to walk out. You know that Jacksonville was able 136 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: to get him to have to cover a slot. You 137 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: know that that in itself right there is when you 138 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: know you kind of shake your head and like, okay, 139 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: how does that happen? How does that? You know, coaches 140 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: are watching it and they're like, oh damn, we got 141 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: Bar in the slot on Kirk. This is gonna be 142 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: a you know, and the next you know, it's a 143 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: twenty something yard game. You know. So those are the 144 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: problems that you run into because, like I say, guys 145 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: like Layton Vanderish could play. He plays all those different spots, 146 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: and he's able to kind of play at such a 147 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: high level because of his intelligence and how he sees it. 148 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: So you take that out. Teams take advantage of that well, 149 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: even with the injury, and it's good that it doesn't 150 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: seem like it's gonna keep him out for a very 151 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: long time. But I'm concerned on whether he's going to 152 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: be back back. And last week we were talking about 153 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,679 Speaker 1: it on the show, and it's crazy that I mentioned. 154 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I think he's finally over that mental 155 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: block catch if you want to call it that way 156 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: that he had after all the injuries he had with 157 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: the neck and all that. I think it took him 158 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: a while, and this was the one year where I 159 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: feel he kind of let go of that and started 160 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: playing freely and without that just hesitation and just playing 161 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: football without thinking about it. And it concerns me whether 162 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: when he is back on the field, if now because 163 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: he had that on the neck area again, is he 164 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: gonna be playing with hesitation and just cautiousness, which is natural. 165 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: It's just human nature to do that, you know. It's 166 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: it's hard to get over that It's not that simple. 167 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: So he concerns me because we've seen how crucial the 168 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: way that the linebacker's play is for the run defense. 169 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: So I'm concerned not just for the little weeks for 170 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks that he's out, but also when 171 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: he comes back at what level is he gonna really 172 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: be playing at. Talk about Jabril Cox, he is a 173 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: guy that I think coming into this year, a lot 174 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: of fans were excited to maybe see more of him, 175 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: and it never really kind of material materialized, even to 176 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: the point where Demon Clark, coming off the injury he did, 177 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: he kind of surpassed him and is getting all of 178 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: those opportunities that everybody, I think, going to your thought, 179 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: Jabril Cox might get. What do we expect to see 180 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 1: from Jabril Cox now that there is this opening in 181 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: this opportunity. I don't I honestly don't know. I mean, 182 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: he didn't impress him enough to not sign Anthony Barr 183 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: and then all, like you said, put Damon Clark out there. 184 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: I feel like he you know, he is. Are some 185 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: linebackers that are closer to defensive ends, and there's some 186 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: linebackers that are closer to safety, and I feel like 187 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: He has always been like that, you need to closer 188 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: to safety, you need to be a fast range linebacker 189 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: to play in the SEC, which he did for one year, 190 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: but he also did it at North Dakota or to State. Yeah, 191 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: and you can get away with it there. I still 192 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: feel like he's a little bit light to play inside 193 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: linebacker in the NFL right now. Um, but that's that's 194 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: just me. And he hasn't, you know, And this might 195 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: be a chance to prove that he can do that. 196 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: I mean, Daniel Jones doesn't think he's light because he 197 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: knocked him out in a play. But for the most part, though, 198 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: I still feel like he's got some some growth to 199 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: do there. Yeah, Nick has got him nailed. I Mean, 200 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: this guy was kind of a twiner player. I mean, 201 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: but he's two hundred and thirty three pounds or thereabouts, 202 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: and you know, watching him play the one year, he 203 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: was kind of a rusher. You know, he was more 204 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: of an outside linebacker, like a three to four outside linebacker. 205 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: Talk to people in the organization is they're happy with 206 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: how he progresses, and they put him out there and 207 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: they're okay with some of the stuff he does. And 208 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: then he has two or three mistakes in a game 209 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: and they don't want to put him out there anymore. 210 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: And so that's the you know, it's one of those 211 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: things where you're like, it's kind of a little bit 212 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,239 Speaker 1: like it's like Kelvin Joseph. You know, it's like, Okay, 213 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: we know we're probably gonna get mistakes, but you got 214 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: to put him out there and find out. You hope 215 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: it doesn't cost you a game, but you're definitely going 216 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: to see him this this week. And you know, I 217 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: don't know if this team, I don't know if this team, 218 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 1: with the linebacker situation it is, if it could morph 219 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: into like a three or four front where you just 220 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: play you know, maybe don't you have these guys that 221 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: really aren't for three linebackers that they're looking more like 222 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: the Jibril Coxes and stuff like that, and you know, 223 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: do you you kind of just go with the two 224 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: inside and you know, you maybe do something with one 225 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: of these defensive ends where it's Fowler or somebody like that. 226 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: I you know, I don't know. That's I'm kind of 227 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: wondering how you're because they don't have a they don't 228 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: currently have a linebacker on the practice squad. They have 229 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 1: Luke Gifford, but Luke Gifford is like, really one of 230 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: your better special teams guys, Now, again, are you going 231 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 1: to sacrifice some of the stuff on special teams to 232 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: get Luke Gifford out there? They don't have anybody's sitting 233 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: on the practice squad that you can say, oh, let's 234 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: elevate him this week and see if if he did. Jefferson, Yeah, 235 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: Malik Jefferson now and again maybe maybe easy. Yeah, I 236 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: think he got a claimed. No, I didn't see him 237 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: going anywhere, so to me, you may still be available. 238 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: That's that's where I think that we might see some 239 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: kind of move where, Okay, they bring him back and 240 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: get somebody off the practice squad to make sure they 241 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: have at least some numbers there. Yep, because at one point, 242 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I think linebacker was the one position that 243 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: still had some concerns all throughout the season. But just 244 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: in general, looking at the defense as a whole, it 245 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: sucks because I'm starting out. I remember feeling very comfortable 246 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: with the roster and feeling like, you know, we got 247 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: pretty good depth here, and there's talent in every area. 248 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: There was some talent in somebody, And now you're down 249 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: to different bodies, back ups and backups, and it's at 250 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: a point where I feel that the guys and it's 251 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 1: stuff that's a hard ask for these guys to kind 252 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: of step up to that level, especially in December. So 253 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: it just sucks that it's kind of slowly starting to 254 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: drift the other way when we started off so good 255 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: and feeling very very good about the talent in these 256 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: younger guys too. That's the tough part about the NFL, Like, 257 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: as the season wears on, you gotta lose guys, and 258 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: right now I think that's the biggest problem with this 259 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,719 Speaker 1: defense is they're losing personnel. They've lost those two of 260 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: their top three cornerbacks, They've now lost a linebacker, they 261 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: lost the defensive tackle they brought in to help them 262 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: stop the run. Like, there are some significant losses that 263 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: they've had, and you might not get some of those 264 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: guys back, you might not get some of them back 265 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. And so now they're just having to 266 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: figure out how they can make it work without them 267 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: in the short term. And now it's about the offense. 268 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: True now it's about the When the five games that 269 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: Cooper Rush played quarterback, your defense was on pointe. And 270 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: now you've got a quarterback, you've got an offensive line 271 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: that's probably better at right tackle. No offense to you, 272 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: Terrence Steel. You proved me wrong all year. I'm just 273 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: saying you're better at right tackle right now. Your offensive 274 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: line as a whole is better. Your running game is 275 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: you can get this thing going. You know, you could 276 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: find ways. I mean, they'll commit to run in the football. 277 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 1: They committed to the point so much last week. You're like, listen, 278 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: you're throwing the ball and you're doing pretty well, you know. 279 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: I mean, they'll commit to run in the football if 280 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: they have to, you know. And you know the problem is, 281 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: like say they're chasing this receiver thing. They're trying to 282 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: find somebody. Maybe t Y Hilton is a guy that 283 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: comes in and gets those we talked about the Odell Beckham, 284 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: the third and fours, the fourth and threes. You know, 285 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: maybe that's what you're gonna have to lean on this offense. Now. 286 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: It's it's all about that. I mean, your defense is 287 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: just too beat up and maybe you could score enough 288 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: points to are all of a sudden on offense. You 289 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: turned that other team into having to throw the football 290 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: and you can find your pass rush again. Yeah, somehow, 291 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 1: some way, you've got to find this pass rush again. 292 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: But man, the defense got you to this point to 293 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: where you're in the playoffs. The offense now has to 294 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: do their part to pick up the pieces that the 295 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: secondary players. Not defensive backs. I'm talking about your your 296 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: number two guys in certain positions. They've got to step 297 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: up defensive, offensive, just across the board. Well, I mean 298 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: it's happening at running back. Okay, those two. Whoever the 299 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: number two guy is is plas take it for me. Well, 300 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: but Michael Gallup is I mean, they got to get 301 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: him more involved. He's got to help CD can't and 302 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: he's getting double team. I mean, you shouldn't be able 303 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: to do that. And another thing too, and I think 304 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: he's a he's a great leader, and he's a he's 305 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: an underappreciated run stopper. But they need more from Tank 306 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: or Darrence Armstrong or something. Jack can't keep doing that 307 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: and you're not getting it at corner. You know. That's 308 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: another thing. If you look at those five games with 309 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: Cooper Rush, I mean, Jordan Lewis, Anthony Brown and then 310 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: of course Digs, they were solids never know they weren't solid, 311 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: they were really good at corner. Now that's why you 312 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: got guys home in the rush, right, yeah, yeah, I 313 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: mean because of the fact that you were able to 314 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: hold up on the back end. That's that's like the 315 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: problem there is that Mica and Mica was so close 316 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: that many times in this game got a lot, got 317 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: held a ton and you know what, they just did 318 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: not call it, And you got the Cowboys should appreciate 319 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: that more than anything because they didn't call a lot 320 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: in that game, pass interference, none of that stuff. So 321 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: I think it worked out, but but it didn't work 322 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: out for Mica. Would you guys consider it all with 323 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: what we're talking about at linebacker, maybe using Mike at 324 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: linebacker over the next couple weeks until Laton vandrush is back. 325 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: I know, you don't love him at linebacker or he's 326 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: you know, I've made a complete switch on that he's 327 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: a pass rusher. I mean, just that they got to 328 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: get creative. This is gonna be a weird week because 329 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: you know, you have the Eagles coming in and I 330 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: don't know what the Eagles are gonna what they're gonna 331 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: do so much, you know, I mean, how different psychold 332 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: with Gardner Minshew right, they'll still probably have some of 333 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: their elements of the run option. I don't I don't 334 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: seeing him do it. I remember at Washington State he 335 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: was a big just thrower. I mean, he's capable scrambler 336 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: and mover or you know, I mean when he was 337 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, Heineke type things. Yeah, he can't do it, 338 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: can't do it, but yeah, and they're gonna try. I 339 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: mean they're gonna try. You know. They they they activated 340 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard this week. You know, so they're gonna so 341 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: here they got, they got all the wide receivers. They're 342 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna try and take advantage of your The 343 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: one thing that they were able to, Yeah, the one 344 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: thing they were able to do was they really rendered 345 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons useless. Because maybe now it's okay, playment, playment linebacker. 346 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: Don't make him have to be read guy on the end, 347 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: you know, put like Hank and you know, or the 348 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: guys on you know, Fouler, those guys. Goldston is another 349 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: guy I mean that, you know. I mean, there's there's options. 350 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: I would play him at linebacker, and then if you 351 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: get to where you can rush the pass or even 352 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: at linebacker, bring him from depth if you have to. 353 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: Let's not forget what happened in that Eagles game. He 354 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: wasn't doing a whole lot and they were winning and 355 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 1: Eagles and I believe that I don't know which one, 356 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: but one of those tackles went down because you kept saying, 357 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: if sixty four whatever has to play, it's a problem. 358 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: And he came in the second half, second quarter and 359 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: had to play, and Micah exposed them. So that's I 360 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: think the problem with the Eagles is that both their 361 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: tackles were really good. They're they're starting tackles or like 362 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl level good. And John's yeah, he's not a 363 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: he's not a he's kind of a I'm not saying 364 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: he's not an effective there, but it's it's an all 365 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: day challenge. Well, I also think the other part to 366 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: that is you would just watch that Jacksonville game. The 367 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: Eagles have to be looking at and saying, we may 368 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: not need to run that that style of offense that 369 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: we run with with Hurts. We can literally let minh 370 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: you kind of chop them up with some passes because 371 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 1: that secondary can't hold up right and we can get 372 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: the ball out quickly enough where we negate the secondary. 373 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: I mean, we can negate the pass rush and we 374 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: can beat their secondary. So that's the problems. Take Michael 375 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 1: completely out of the game, right, Who do you trust more? Cowboys, 376 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: defensive line or the linebackers? If MICA's where just put 377 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: him on the side, right, you got him, You got 378 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: him on without him with everybody else, what who do 379 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: you trust more? Is that what you're saying, Yes, defensive line? Yeah, 380 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: me too. That's I mean, that's where I think you're 381 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: talking about. It's like, Okay, you got an area where 382 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: a linebacker you're missing something. Mica hasn't been as productive 383 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: right now rushing the passer and playing on the line there, 384 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: So in this scenario right now, it just makes more 385 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 1: sense to just put him in linebacker and see how 386 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 1: much he can help there. Where you're liking I mean 387 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: you're saying no, But I just feel like the defensive 388 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: line that has more talent right now to be able 389 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: to steal, create some type of pressure, or make the 390 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: quarterback a little bit uncomfortable on their own without the 391 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: need of my account, the whole game. If mentions the quarterback, though, 392 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: I gotta get after his ass. I mean you have 393 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: to and and you got to force him into say 394 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: he played the JV game last year, remember the end 395 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: of the year, the JD game. I mean, he is 396 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: going to he is going to make some throws. He 397 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: is going to miss some throws. He is not hurts, 398 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: he's not that ability to run the ball. That's the 399 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: one thing. It takes that that element out. Now it's like, 400 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: you know, to me, it's all about this offense again. 401 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: Score enough points and put pressure on them to have 402 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 1: to score along with you, you know, make guard make 403 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: if you can't win a game with your quarterback against 404 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 1: Gardner mentioned and it might be just because of the 405 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: the secondary for the Eagles is damn good. They can cover. 406 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: That's the thing. If you ask me, like, what's the 407 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: most kind of underrated thing about the Eagles and we 408 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: get into that, I'm gonna tell you it's their secondary. 409 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: So you know you're gonna have to find a way 410 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: to win in that game. And you talk about getting 411 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: after Gardner minshew, Yeah, but it's also going to be 412 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: about can you you know, are you going to let 413 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: them run the ball and let them be in second 414 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: and two and second and three, all day finding them. 415 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: I'm looking at wild cat package is like, I'm thinking 416 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: about all that kind of stuff just to take advantage 417 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: of a poor Dallas Runde. Yeah, the Cowboy fans that 418 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 1: are rubbing their hands together like, oh okay, I mean, 419 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: don't forget Davis Mills and Jeff Drisco carved him up 420 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. This guy can kind of 421 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: do it too. But he's a backup quarterback. He is, 422 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: but but he's had some success as a backup. And 423 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,719 Speaker 1: that's the part I think that fans have to be 424 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: aware of. This is not your typical backup quarterback that 425 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: you just throw out there. And exactly it's their equipment. 426 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: Stuff is bringing extra boxes to this game. And I 427 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: say that, I mean they've got little hats that have 428 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: a Eagles logo on a an NFC East champions. They 429 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: would love to open those boxes on the Cowboys sideline 430 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: and they can. I mean, it's gonna be a tough game. 431 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: This is this is going to be a really play 432 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: doesn't Yeah, all right, we're gonna take our first back. 433 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: We're gonna come back.

All right, 484 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: it's the second time we've heard Kellen Moore say that 485 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 1: he needs to get Michael Gallup more involved. Is that 486 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: on him or the player? That's a good question. Brian 487 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: doesn't bring questions that aren't. Yeah, I would say I 488 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: would say that's probably more on the offensive coordinator. And 489 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to use the example of what happened on 490 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 1: third and ten in this last game. Jerry actually mentioned 491 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: it this morning and Sean and RJ on on the 492 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: Fans Morning they were talking I don't. I think they 493 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 1: kind of missed what he was saying. They were talking 494 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: about the fact that he didn't really want to comment 495 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: about the decision to go to throw it right down. 496 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: I really thought the point was what he said after that, 497 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: because he started talking about it's not really so much 498 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: that they decided to pass, it's how you decide to 499 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: pass and who you're throwing the ball too. I totally 500 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,719 Speaker 1: agree on that, and that to me said said everything, 501 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: and we talked about it on the show yesterday. I 502 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: didn't have as much of a problem with the fact 503 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: that is, if you want to be aggressive, be aggressive. 504 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: But there are ways to be aggressive that are probably 505 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: more more have a greater chance of success than that, 506 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,360 Speaker 1: you know, throwing a fifty fifty ball to Noah Brown. 507 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: So back to your point, if if you're no in 508 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: my opinion on this team, when it comes to receivers 509 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 1: who have had the most experienced catching deep balls and 510 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: doing it well, I think Michael Gallup is right up 511 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: there at the top of the list. Contorning bodies. Yeah, 512 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: the drawing back pass interference exactly, the fact that you're 513 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: going to get in that situation, you're gonna take that 514 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: kind of chance to be risked. I mean to say, 515 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: we're just gonna go for the win. You should have 516 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: put your best guy out there. They did not. That 517 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: says to me they're not using him enough, They're not 518 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: thinking about him enough to use his skills the right way. Handbar, Yeah, 519 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: I agree with that. I think it's on Kellen and he. 520 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 1: I think having Michael Gallup on the team has been 521 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: a waste for the Cowboys. It has because you don't 522 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: use him. You've literally that's your second guy and you 523 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: have not There are times I forget about Michael Gallup 524 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: and I should not forget about him ever. And it's 525 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 1: not like teams are just completely covering all the time 526 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: and like, oh they're taking him out. No, it's not 527 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 1: that either. So it's just very frustrating when he does 528 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 1: make plays that you're like, yes, that's Michael Gallut. That 529 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: is why he's on this team because he has talent 530 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 1: and he's very athletic and talented, but you don't find 531 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: ways to use him. So I think that definitely comes 532 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: down to Kellen Moore and what he's doing and not 533 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: being able to kind of just give him chances and 534 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: create opportunities for a guy like Michael Gallup. Nick I 535 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 1: couldn't disagree more with both of them. I put it 536 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: on Michael Gallup, get open, get open, make plays, be 537 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: a ten million dollars a year guy, show some dog. 538 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: That's something that I think that needs to happen a 539 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 1: little bit more with him. So I get it. There's 540 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: times where I think they could they could use him 541 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: a little bit more. And maybe maybe also when people 542 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: forgetting too maybe it's Dak also because Dak loves to 543 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 1: throw to the guy who's open, and sometimes that's not 544 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 1: always the case. And Michael Gallup has proven that he 545 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: can make some tough catch. It's probably better and it's 546 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: definitely on the sideline. But I still I wouldn't put 547 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: this all. This isn't one game, this is a couple games. 548 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: I put this on Michael Gallup as well. Let's be clear, 549 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: I'm not saying all the blames. You got to choose 550 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: one or two. Then then to me, that was an 551 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: example of why, Yeah, you had an opportunity to use 552 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: him in a critical situation where he is the best 553 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 1: that you have on your team at this particular role, 554 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: and you chose that to And this is for me, 555 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: I like Michael Gallup a lot, but I as a person, 556 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 1: but as a as a player and as a receiver, 557 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: there's spent some times where I just kind of questioned, 558 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: like the dog the foxhole type guy in him, and 559 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: and and I think he's a great teammate, and sometimes 560 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: that can be bad, you know what I'm talking about. 561 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: I mean there's just that one game I guess where 562 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: he said that that I just don't I don't love. 563 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: So I feel like third or four, you gotta want 564 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: to be that guy to go make some place, and 565 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: he he does at times. But I never liked the signing. 566 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: I didn't like. I didn't like the thing. And I 567 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: agree with your point that you're making right now, but 568 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: to me, it's like that's okay, that's done, We're over it, 569 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: over it. That's the guy you decided to go with 570 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 1: you sign He's been here. And when you look at 571 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: not just this passing, look at the whole season from 572 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: beginning to where we're at right now, is how can 573 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: you not find like why are we right now discussing 574 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: this Like you should have found a really good role 575 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: for a guy like him, and you haven't. So I 576 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: put that down on the people who decided that he 577 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: should be here and Kellen Moore, You're not love to 578 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: know is how often does Kellen call his offense based upon, Hey, 579 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: this play, I'm designing this play for this guy, you know, 580 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: because he may not do that very much. It may 581 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: be one of the things, like you said it with Dak, 582 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: Dak's looking for the open guy. His offense may be 583 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: really predicated on We're going to create scenarios and based 584 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: on those scenarios, it's gonna go to the open guy. 585 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: And they rotate their receivers so much that you don't 586 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 1: know who that guy's going to be on any given place, 587 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: so they don't really call it like, hey, we're designing 588 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: this place specifically to get gallop open or you know 589 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 1: it ceed open. You know it when they go max 590 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: protection and they're trying and run the deep cross, you know. 591 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: You know that when you see everybody stand in and blocking, 592 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: you know they're trying to get the ball to somebody's 593 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: specific But I wonder if they're doing that how often 594 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: now and that relative to like to the point of 595 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: this conversation, to the point where you would actually be 596 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: designing plays from Michael Gaup to get him involved let's 597 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: also and I'd just referred to the player, Let's not 598 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: forget this year. This twenty twenty two year is when 599 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: he did tear his ACL. So he tore his ACL 600 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: earlier this year, back in January, waited in February to 601 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: have the surgery, not because because that's when it was 602 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: not that he did. That's when you're supposed to do it. 603 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: And then now he's back and we're in this conversation. 604 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: So acls on receivers, I mean, you gotta get them 605 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: a little bit pass. But I do believe that it's 606 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: it's it's on a little bit of everyone. I think. 607 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: I think we're all probably on board with that. And 608 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: bar you've lost leads of fourteen and seventeen on the road, 609 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: likely a playoff path is on the road. It's a 610 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: concern for you or is that just a trend in 611 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: the NFL? No lead is safe. I mean it look 612 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: called the World Cup Final. Um yeah, it seems to 613 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: be kind of the theme. There are some comebacks that 614 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: have just blown my mind how it's worked out. So 615 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: I just think it's the nature of no game, like 616 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: nothing's guaranteed and you got to play your hardest from 617 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: beginning to end and finished finished the game. I think 618 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: that that comes down to. I don't know, because even 619 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: looking at this game specifically I look at it, I'm like, Okay, 620 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: what change other than you're taking out Tyren Smith and 621 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: putting Jason Peters on offense in the second half of 622 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: the game, Uh, what really changed? They figured out that 623 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: Kelvin Joseph was playing left corner for him and that's 624 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: two touchdowns just like ye, yeah, well offense, I'm talking no, no, 625 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: like Cowboys offense when they were working so well in 626 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: the first half of the game. They were moving, things 627 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: were flowing, and then you come back after halftime, which 628 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: is unusual for them, they tend to show you the opposite. 629 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: So to me, it was like, Okay, why can't you 630 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: just be consistent in that aspect of just carrying over 631 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: the whole thing. The turnover might have affected to the 632 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: first interception that gave them, Yeah, that gave them hope. 633 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: But what was your question? Again, It's about fourteen You're 634 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: you're losing, You're playing games and the playoffs on the 635 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: road likely and you've lost the fourteen point lead in 636 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: Green Bay and a seventeen point lead in Jacksonville. Is 637 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: that worrying you going forward, losing leads on the road, Well, 638 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: we got two more games on the road, so yes, 639 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: it is concerning. It does worry me, And to me, 640 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: what I'm really looking at is preparation during the week. 641 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: And that's something I've heard just talking to people that lately, 642 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: you know, because of the changing and we've talked about 643 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,479 Speaker 1: it on the show, just kind of practice time, the 644 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: lack of practice, you know, and that's something Mike McCarthy 645 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: talked about it. You know, this is the time you 646 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: got to give these guys a little rehabbing, a little 647 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: break for their bodies to you know, be in shape 648 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: because of the toughness in December. But I think it 649 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: comes down to the preparation and the amount of time 650 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: they take during the week leading up to the game. Derek, 651 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: you know it concerns you, but not for the reason 652 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: that it's on the road necessarily. What concerns me is 653 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: I'm starting to one if this is just a it's 654 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: gonna sound weird, but if this is just an immature team, 655 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is, do they get 656 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: in situations where they get a lead and they get 657 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: comfortable and so they let up a little bit, and 658 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: for you know what, teams back in it do they 659 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: go into a game against a team like Houston where 660 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, we can beat this team. We'll roll 661 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: out of the practice ball we find and they get 662 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: into that game and then they get to the last 663 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: couple series and realize, oh god, we were about to 664 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 1: lose this game, and then they turn it on and 665 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 1: play football. Those to me are just signed sometimes that 666 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: the team's just a little immature. A team just doesn't 667 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: they don't approach every situation with the same level of intensity, 668 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 1: and because of that, their results tend to be like this, 669 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: where situations that they really shouldn't be in they find 670 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: themselves in. In basketball, if your team is up three 671 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: with five seconds to go, what are you doing? If 672 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: your team is up three and they got the ball, 673 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: what are you doing? You foul UPO three? You're gonna 674 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,239 Speaker 1: foul your foul? Why because you don't want to get 675 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: a foul to give? Yeah? Well but but I but 676 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: even if you don't, though problem, the only thing that's 677 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: going to hurt you here is if they make a three. 678 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: And so it's the same with football. The only thing 679 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: that's gonna hurt you when you're up fourteen in the 680 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: fourth quarter or seventeen or whatever is if they score quickly. 681 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: And in the Bronch I mean and the Packers game, 682 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: it's fourth and nine and the games the game's over 683 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: and they throw a deep ball and over Anthony Brown 684 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: or no, over Bland, sorry old touchdown. In this game, 685 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: you're up seventeen. They're not going to come back unless 686 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: they scored in five seconds here, which they did a 687 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: deep ball. So I put some of it on Dan 688 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 1: Quinn as well. And you're up at seventeen or fourteen 689 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: or whatever. You know. The prevent defense. People hate it 690 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: because there's a stigma about it. Oh, it only prevents 691 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: you from winning. No, no, it prevents them from scoring quickly. 692 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: And that's what you're trying to do. So, especially when 693 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: your corners are struggling like that, don't give up the 694 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: deep ball as much. Maybe play everything a little bit 695 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: more in front and let them work, work, work where 696 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: the clock's going off, play a little clock and back 697 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: off a little bit. But let me ask you this. 698 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: I hear that, and I think it's fair good. My question, 699 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: my question is, my question is on the play on 700 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: the first touch down that Joseph gave up? Was he 701 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,399 Speaker 1: not kind of pleading him in a situation where he's off, 702 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: he's trying to play a little conservative. He bites on 703 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: the route, lets the guy go buy him, and then 704 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: you're filling him a ball cap for this game. Yeah, 705 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: I think you go back that special team. But that 706 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: all special. I think that's also kind of the problem 707 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,320 Speaker 1: here is that you may even put guys in position. 708 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: You got such young players, inexperienced players, players that may 709 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: not be as good as you want them to be, 710 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 1: yet that just are making these kinds of mistakes that 711 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 1: they shouldn't. That he that that you can't really have 712 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: right now, you know, especially when you got that kind 713 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: of league. All right, this is my last one. I 714 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 1: think we're running out of time here, but this is 715 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: my last one for you, Nick. And this is just 716 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,320 Speaker 1: a personal opinion here. I have no problem with Jalen 717 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 1: Hurts being out Winning against their best is a myth. 718 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: All that matters is winning. How do you feel about that? Oh? 719 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 1: Of course all that All that matters is winning. Nobody. 720 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 1: I don't care about you playing the best. I don't 721 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: care no when when I'll take it back thirty years 722 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: thirty years the Cowboys beat the Bills in the Super 723 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 1: Bowl fifty two to seventeen. All these great plays and 724 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: remember Leon lad and all the stuff. Nobody really remembers 725 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: that Jim Kelly hurt his knee in that game. No 726 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: one cares it. I don't think it would have mattered, 727 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: but I'm just saying, but they don't care. And no 728 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,439 Speaker 1: one cared that that Dak was out for five games 729 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,439 Speaker 1: and they lost to the No One, no one cared about. 730 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: One cares about the cornerbacks right now. Nope. So it, 731 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: you know, deal with it. If you know, you can't 732 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 1: expect quarterback with that name not to get hurt. That happens, 733 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 1: deal with it. Jed, how about how are you about that? Bad? 734 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 1: That's my bad joke of the day. Okay, good, Um, 735 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: now we're having anymore. No more coming bad jokes. We'll 736 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: see TVD on that. You know. There may be good ones, 737 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 1: but that was a bad one. No. I think as 738 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: Parcels used to always say, no one cares, and I 739 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: think that's absolutely I could care less. It's just about 740 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: when every every team has losses based on every team 741 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,399 Speaker 1: loses players. That's the nature of the NFL. I ain't 742 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: getting caught up in who you lose or who the 743 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: cowboy Like, at the end of the day, you still 744 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 1: got to go out and play and it is what 745 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: it is. Well, I mean before you answer that, I 746 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: mean Mica Parsons doesn't care, because I thought Michael Parsons 747 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 1: went on and say that's not it's not hurts anyways. 748 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 1: It's the whole team, it's the defense and all that stuff. 749 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 1: So I mean this shouldn't matter at all, right, right 750 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 1: according to Mica, I mean, he's just he's just a 751 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,800 Speaker 1: piece in their little puzzle. I don't. I don't agree 752 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 1: with that, and neither did Von Miller whoever was asking him, Yeah, 753 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: this week, do you want to play the best or 754 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,319 Speaker 1: you want to just go out and win games? How 755 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: do you were you looking at it? How do you 756 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,280 Speaker 1: give a crap who we're playing better win? I don't 757 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: care at this point of this many years and I 758 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 1: haven't been a Cowboys fan for as long as many 759 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,839 Speaker 1: people have been, and I've been here, why like close 760 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 1: to ten years maybe yeah, And I've suffer enough in 761 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: just that span of time. I am, so to me, 762 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 1: it's it's had a point that I don't care when 763 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 1: when when that's all it matters, cast one more real 764 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,280 Speaker 1: quickly and just give it a real quick one here. Okay, 765 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: let's go with you, agn this one go back to you. 766 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: Is there really competition at left cornerback or is this 767 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 1: going to be nashun right playing in this game? Dan 768 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 1: Queen came out. I know, I know, I know, I 769 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 1: just don't know not thinking about it. I know he 770 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: said that what I'm thinking of is like, is there 771 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 1: really competition? Yeah? Right? This week? Yeah? What all? Like 772 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,719 Speaker 1: how much can another guy do to show you that 773 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 1: he's better than who you've decided to stick with for 774 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:49,439 Speaker 1: this for the last game? Yeah, the last game, which 775 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 1: is Kelvin Joseph, which I feel all of us have 776 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: seen it before he even got the job to replace 777 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 1: Anthony Brown. We've all known like he doesn't have it, 778 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 1: but when maybe see something in him and now he's 779 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 1: maybe clearly changing his opinion. But with the guys that 780 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,919 Speaker 1: you have left, I don't know who really has much 781 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:14,439 Speaker 1: to for it to be a like a real competition. Yeah, 782 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 1: you know, so I think Nishan maybe the guy just 783 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,840 Speaker 1: because the nice guy up. Really I think it's a 784 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: competition because I don't think anybody clearly is necessarily. I 785 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 1: don't think Nashan nor Calvin, Joseph has clearly separated themselves 786 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 1: from a group, and so I think these other guys 787 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,759 Speaker 1: that they brought in, they brought in for a reason. 788 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 1: They're going to see what they could play for me personally, 789 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 1: I would look at Joseph, Nishan, right, McKenzie, Alexander, Mullen 790 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: and Sheffield who has played the best game in their career? Like, 791 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: is there anybody has played the best game? Whoever that is, 792 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: That's who I'm gonna lean to that You've done it experience, 793 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 1: and I'm praying that a sterling more situation falls into 794 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,839 Speaker 1: your lap. Remember they just brought this guy in and 795 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,839 Speaker 1: he played pretty well. Done somebody like that McKinsey, Alexander. 796 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,400 Speaker 1: It's slot and land on the outside, and that's exactly 797 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,359 Speaker 1: what I want to support.
