8
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: We are a little over forty eight hours. I haven't

9
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: done the math on it away from Cowboys versus Saints

10
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: on Thursday night at at and T Stadium and puzzle

11

Speaker 1: looks from Mickey Spagnola and Brian brought us. They're doing

12
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:06,039

13
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: to you at nine thirty four on a Tuesday morning,

14
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: which is actually a Friday morning by the Cowboys work week,

15
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: because of course this is a second straight Thursday game,

16
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: and then they get the mini buye on the weekend,

17
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: and then the Philadelphia Eagles come to town. We're in

18
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: the middle of a three game homestand for your Dallas Cowboys, Yeah,

19
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: how about that? Better take advantage of every single one

20
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: of them counts too. They do everyone everyone the rest

21
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: of the way. And according to Jerry, Oh, they're almost

22
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: win now every place. Brian, I subscribe to your theory. Now,

23
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: that's right. They're desperate. Please come my direction, guys, It's

24
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: come my direction. They're desperate. Yeah, and Jerry one, thank

25
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: you Mickey for Sandward, I'm desperate. Mickey hates the desperate theory.

26
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: Although Jerry on the radio this morning on the fan

27
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: Local League, how was it phrased? It was about being

28
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: a desperate team. They were more sprit when they were

29
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: what was the record three and five? Yeah, than they

30
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: are now. But they need to keep that desperation right

31
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: now because it seemed to work the last three weeks.

32
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: You know. The other interesting thing, and I think he's

33
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: right about this because everybody kind of misconstrued what he

34
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: was trying to say on Friday and again this morning

35
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: when he was comparing some things to the super Bowl, right,

36
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: and it's like, no, he's not saying this is the

37
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys super Bowl because if you win, then what do

38
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: you gotta gotta? You gotta play again next week. He's

39
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: going to question the super Bowl thing, right, You gotta

40
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: play against it. What he was trying to say is

41
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: the importance of every play in the game is like

42
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. You have to treat it like a

43
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Play. Yes, it's like whateverything about this. When

44
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: you watch baseball for one hundred and sixty two games,

45
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: you kind of casually watch, you fall asleep, whatever. When

46
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: you get to the playoffs, every pitch is important. You're

47
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: locked in. Oh he threw a curveball. Oh why did

48
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: he throw over that plate? The ball should have been

49
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: in the dirt because he had two strikes on the guy. Right,

50
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: you go through that, And that's what he was trying

51
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: to point out about this game, that every play, every pass,

52
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: every fumble is takes on the importance of a super

53
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: Bowl because you're playing a team that just won ten

54
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 1: straight games. Okay, so you're buying that what every play

55
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: is important? Yeah? Yeah, I think so. I think we'll

56
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: be locked in on this game right from But what

57
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 1: if they go out and just flop well next week,

58
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: I know, but does that mean every play the following

59
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: week is Yeah. Absolutely. It's like the old Duane Thomas quote.

60
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: If this is the ultimate game, then why do they

61
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: play it again? Next year. Yeah, and you can't have

62
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: the ultimate game in game twelve, that's right, see, but

63
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: you can treat each play like it's the ultimate play.

64
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: Last Friday, though, Jerry was talking about the importance of

65
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: what we can prove to ourselves about playing well in

66
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: this game. Sure this part if this guy, this team's

67
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: coming in and they've got all the accolades and and

68
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: we're playing well, it's kind of a statement game for us.

69
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: You know, change if you get blown out, But what

70
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: happens if you lose? Yeah, it doesn't change. It can't

71
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: change because what I'm trying to say, I got Washington

72
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: and Philly playing each other though, hello kid Garrison going,

73
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: hey guys, they're gonna gain a game, and one of

74
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: those have to lose, right, Yeah, they don't have to.

75
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: They could tie. Philadelphia's a good point. Philadelphia's got the Rams.

76
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: And also the Houston Texans left too. From the mistaken

77
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: who seem to be marching on. They are marching on.

78
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: I thought they were going to be in trouble last

79
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: night and then they just boy, they put their foot

80
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: on the pedal. I don't know, I mean straight ninety

81
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: seven yards? Is that what it was? Touchdown? No, no, no, no, no.

82
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: I I hear what I say. I'm from the I'm

83
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: from the theory of all win, and I understand what

84
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: Mickey's saying. But you know, I mean also, I'm trying

85
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: to figure out, though, if they lose this game, what

86
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: does that mean? That means you're six and six and

87
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: you got four games to go, and in all likelihood,

88
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: Philadelphia beats Washington on Monday night and everybody six and

89
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: six with four games to go. Yeah, and the object

90
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: is to get in the playoffs, right, I agree to that,

91
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: And the easiest way to get into the playoffs is

92
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: how win the division. There you go, that is, but

93
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: Mickey will tell you got wild card hopes too. You

94
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: do well? You do? You get a home playoff game

95
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: if you win the division. Yeah, that's what I was

96
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: kind of thinking about it, right, take care of that,

97
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: take care of that division. And how many wins does

98
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,119
Speaker 1: it will it take to win that division? Maybe nine?

99
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: You're with nine, so that would be three, three and

100
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: two down the stretch, I was gonna say ten. I

101
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: think I'm one. I think I think you gotta win

102
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: ten myself. Hmm, I'll go you're gonna say, Washington or

103
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: Philly wins three of the next five. See, I can't

104
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: figure out playing each other a couple of times twice. Right,

105
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: there's two losses in there. I can't Summer nine might

106
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: do it. And you figure out Philadelphia because okay, wow,

107
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: they beat Washington, right Giants? Excuse anybody giving them a

108
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: ton of credit for that? I mean, no, okay, hear

109
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But but they're they improved. They want

110
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: a game, and it's like, you're gonna have to beat

111
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: that same Giants team. If you read if you read stuff,

112
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: everybody's like, Okay, everything's great. Now you know, they figured

113
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: out who their running back is and they're overcoming their injuries,

114
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: when the week before it was like, well what happened

115
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: last year? They overcame all these injuries, and now this

116
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: year they can't over overcome their injuries that they lose

117
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: the formula. Okay, they are Philadelphias. Okay, here's what Philadelphia.

118
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: Philadelphia's five and six. Yeah, they play at home against Washington.

119
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: We're gonna give him a w for that six and six?

120
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: Okay at Dallas hmm, okay, we won't. We won't. All right,

121
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get through this week at the Rams. All

122
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: that puts him at six and eight, Houston six and nine.

123
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: So you're saying, at Washington six it won't matter. Okay,

124
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: So look, but if you do, now, if you do, okay,

125
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: if you do, Washington's sketch. Okay, but but but okay,

126
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: just a review in a nutshell. Philadelphia has got two

127
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: games where you're right, okay, two games against the Redskins,

128
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: and then they play and they play at Dallas at

129
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: the Rams and home against Houston. Okay, which would probably

130
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: be a game that will matter to Houston second to

131
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: last game of the year because Indianapolis has been playing

132
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: well and you've got to play Indianapolis too, right, all right,

133
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: now over there easier to Washington is anything. Do we

134
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: know that Washington plays two games against the Eagles, Okay,

135
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: Sandwiched around this schedule, Giants win at Jacksonville, win frauds

136
00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: at Tennessee when maybe, okay, maybe Tennessee. Come on, really,

137
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: Cult McCoy, that's the most embarrassing loss you've had this year.

138
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: They lost their quarterback and an offensive line. They can't

139
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: the following week they beat the Patriots, did they not? Yeah?

140
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: But everybody who's everybody who's left the Patriot organization. It's

141
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: gone somewhere. Detroit's beat the Patriots, and so has Tennessee.

142
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: But let's say Washington and Philadelphia split their two games, Okay, okay,

143
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: so each have a win. Washington has games against the

144
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: Giants and at Jacksonville. That gets them to three wins,

145
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: regardless of what they do against Tennessee. Right, So that's

146
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: nine right for them? That would be nine for them,

147
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: and if they beat Tennessee, it would be ten. Okay,

148
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: based on just pure projections, I'm gonna say I'm gonna

149
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: go with nine, okay, right, Yeah, we need to review

150
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys schedule. They have to play Jacksonville, which, yes,

151
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: they're playing at jackson and they're firing everybody, right, right.

152
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: They benched Blake Bortles, That's what I'm saying, changed the

153
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, right, they did that. But I McCall its

154
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: son right, yeah, Hacket, Yeah, which unfortunate. Only in the

155
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: morning news this morning, the first paragraph said they they

156
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: fired their offensive quarter in Hackett. And then the second

157
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: quarter is and not only are they changing quarterbacks, they

158
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: got rid of their offensive former Cowboys offensive court. Hacket. No, No,

159
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: they said that it was paragraph, It's like, oops, thanks

Speaker 1: seeing That's why I tell you got to have good

161
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: editors like you. Thanks Mick, right and then and then

162
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: just to review the cowboys remaining schedule, New Orleans on Thursday,

163
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: and then home against Philadelphia at an Indianapolis team that

164
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: research on five in a row, going on six in

165
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: a row because the team they played Jacksonville on Monday

166
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: or Sunday, and then Tampa Bay and the Giants. I'm

167
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: not look, I'm not saying they're just gonna back into

168
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: this thing, but let's we gotta see what Washington is

169
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: without Alex Smith. They didn't win the first game without them.

170
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: They've got injuries all over the roster offensive line, Yeah

171
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean what are they We don't know

172
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: at this point with without their quarterbacks. So Philly, Philly

173
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: could could catch on, who knows, But like Brian said,

174
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: that's some tough games ahead. Hey, I rode off. See

175
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: I rode off the Eagles when I came in from

176
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,599
Speaker 1: putting Christmas lights out on a Sunday after dude, I

177
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: saw they were trading the Giants nineteen to three. Yeah,

178
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: then I got finished with the next row of Christmas lights.

179
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: I came back get in. They had one, so they

180
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: were back at it. That's this league. I might have

181
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: to hire you to put mine up. No, no, I

182
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: don't I put them out. I don't put them up.

183
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: They go on the sidewalk. I don't get on a roof.

184
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: That all being said, this is a must win, mister

185
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: brought us really, yeah, I mean you got to go

186
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: into this thinking if we chose it over if they lose, Yeah, no,

187
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: it's not over. But you gotta have that. You gotta

188
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: have that. You can't you can't list the games. That's

189
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: the thing. You can't. Can't lose any games. So you've

190
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: got just win. So are we saying you've got little

191
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: chance against the Saints unless you go in with that

192
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: mindset that this is a critical game that you may

193
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 1: or may not must win. I think no. I just

194
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: think they've they've they've had a certain mentality the last

195
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: few weeks. He disagrees with it, but I think they've

196
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: had a certain mentality and it's worked for him. I

197
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: really do. I think they've they've kind of had that

198
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: urgency there. And and what Jerry is saying, you got

199
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: to be on point every play against the team, like

200
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: the Saints, no question about it, because they can burn

201
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 1: you on any given play. Sure, they can embarrass you.

202
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: This is a team that will try and embarrass you

203
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: if they can't. And that heightens your senses too. Just

204
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: knowing how good a team is that you're facing doesn't

205
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: mean you don't think you can beat them, but you

206
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: know your antennas are up just a little bit, a

207
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: little bit more. There's no slack. You can't relax, you know,

208
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: you take the mentality they did in what was it

209
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine when they went out there and

210
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: beat them twenty four seventeen seventeen. Yeah, you know Marcus

211
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: ware game. You wish you had de Marcus Ware rushing

212
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: that would get to Marcus Lawrence. You might have Taco

213
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: rushing now, yeah, give us that mistake. Last week, though,

214
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: what Taco playing Taco? He's getting closer. He was closer

215
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: last week. You gonna tell me he's gonna play this week?

216
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: What do you He was full on Monday. That's a

217
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: good sign. And by the way, why don't we have

218
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: injury reports earlier in the week on these Thursday weeks.

219
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to understand why they skipped Sunday. Yeah,

220
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: they didn't have to do one. So yeah, that's what

221
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Why doesn't the league make them do one

222
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: on a sudden one because the games? I don't think

223
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: the league office is open Sunday, so that's another subsidering.

224
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: I think that's considering they play games on Sunday. Yeah, no,

225
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: you're right. No, that's why they know the train schedule

226
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: to Connecticut, though I promise you that they don't have

227
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: it processed. Well, they had a game on Monday, yes,

228
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: So anyway, I think the key things, I mean, we

229
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: knew Austin when ready, Irving wasn't ready, Sean Lee, um,

230
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: who else? Uh Swain, Jeff Swain with those guys weren't

231
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: going to play. So the key thing is Taco looks

232
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: like Swain. Yeah, sorry, she should be Swain, Um should

233
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:21,599
Speaker 1: be Zach Martin Mom limited as they listened are And

234
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: I sorry about that, folks. Yeah, I really like them.

235
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: They're really nice people, very nice. Us. Swain was at

236
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: least limited, so he was out there. Uh, Sue a

237
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: Philo limited, so at least he was out there. Connor

238
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: Williams full so he's out there. Tyrann Smith was not

239
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: out there. We're worried about that one. Guys, I am

240
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: now Jerry indicated probably looking at game time again like

241
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: last week. But I didn't like it when he said

242
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: like last week because he was Yeah, last week he

243
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: wasn't good. Yeah, we'll see, so see. But again, you

244
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: know they'll they'll probably you have him listed as DNP.

245
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe today he does a little something,

246
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: then he'll be questionable for the game. And you know,

247
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: those guys get all excited on the radio that we

248
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: don't get the accurate injury stuff, and it's like he's

249
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: not obligated to tell the Saints anything, let alone you.

250
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: That's all he's obligated to do right there, right on

251
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: that sheet of paper. And so will we get one

252
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: tomorrow for the walk through as well? And it's a

253
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: Thursday game, we'll get the final. We usually get the

254
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: final because it says Monday, Tuesday Wednesday game status. Okay,

255
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: so we get extra one. We got one last week

256
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: on Wednesday Wednesday. Yeah, all right, and the Saints the

257
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: only person they had not practice was Tehran Armstead tackle. Yeah,

258
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: he's got a peck. Everybody else was they listed was limited. Yeah.

259
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: Bush Rod started against Atlanta in that game and that

260
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: offensive line strength of that team, without without question, without question,

261
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: this is one of the better offensive lines that the

262
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys will face this year. And is it the best

263
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: one they faced? You think yes so far? Yes, okay,

264
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: yes it will be and and it and really if

265
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: you look at it, you know, Ryan Ramcheck against a

266
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: Marcus Lawrence will be a very good matchup. Ramcheck alin

267
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: his second year out of Wisconsin. Wisconsin's done a great

268
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: job putting Lynman in this league. But Ramcheck is I mean,

269
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: he's a big, strong, athletic guy and he can he

270
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: can match up with Lawrence. This will be, uh, this

271
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: will be interesting to see how the plan of attack

272
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: that Lawrence takes against him, you know, because usually Lawrence

273
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: can out athlete and outpower guys. This guy's kind of

274
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: a combination of both. And then he's got this Larry

275
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: Wolford next to him, and and that you know, to me,

276
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: that's a big, strong guy too. So that right side

277
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: of that Saint's offensive line has got some power to it.

278
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: And you know, and some of the good combinations they've

279
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: been able to work is when they've been able to

280
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: get Crawford inside and some of those Nickel rushes and

281
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: then have him penetrate and then have Lawrence play on

282
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: the move. So the Saints are able to match up

283
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: Max Unger. Their center's pretty good. We need to see about,

284
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: like I say, the left tackle spot, so bush Rod

285
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: would be the guy that you know, he would be

286
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: the weakest of you know, Andrew's Pete as their guard too.

287
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: There's another They've got some really big inside guys and

288
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: that that's kind of the same plan that the Cowboys

289
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: had played throughout their you know time here is get

290
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: the big inside guys. They have to keep the front

291
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: of the pocket cleaned for Drew Brees because he can't see.

292
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: He can't see over the line, so he has to

293
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: move and they have to keep the front so he

294
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: could step up and make throws. That's that's the key,

295
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: and that's why a reference irving at the end of

296
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: the show yesterday knowing obviously he's not back to practice,

297
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: but a guy like that is. It could be a

298
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: huge havoc. Yeah if you win, if you win, Yeah,

299
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: you win, and you get inside on on breeze. That's

300
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: that's what you have to do. But it'll be tough.

301
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: Like I say, these these guys are really a very

302
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: good offensive line. So you just do Si dough and

303
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: put him on the other side. Who's that, Lawrence? Yeah,

304
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: put him on the right side. They've done it before.

305
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: They have done that before. Let's see if they do that.

306
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: If you're banging your head against the wall on the

307
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: left side, go right side. How do you guys want

308
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: to play against Alvin Kamara? How do you want to

309

Speaker 1: You know that ice skating thing that happened, the ice

311
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: skating thing. Oh, Nancy Kerrigan entering the stadium, that's the

312
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: best way to handle him. They love your plan, by

313
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,480

385
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: did when I was going and the lights were on,

386
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: the blue lights were on the tree, and I was

387
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: getting ready to take a picture, and I said, oh,

388
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,920

391
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: lights work, you know, Oh, no, the perfect they do it.

392
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: If you come out, I mean they've got the whole

393
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: the toast Titus Plaza looks great. I'm not a fan

394
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: of blue Christmas lights when it's when it's in a neighborhood.

395
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: Were filled with red and and whatever. You call it

396
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: a little different out there, don't you, Bill Not? Not

397
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: when you're like my neighbor and you stick up like

398
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: a sore thumb with the ugly blue Christmas lights. Have you?

399
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: Have you ever walked up to your neighbor and said

400
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: those are awful way? But every time I well, it's

401
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: actually seriously, it's actually it's actually a street over for

402
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: me it's in our neighborhood, but it's a street over

403
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: and every time I'd drive by, I say, that is

404
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: so ugly. Do you want to stop? I want to

405
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: I want to stop and change. You'recome an opposing guy.

406
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: Why don't you just get out and do something about it?

407
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: Is he just a monster cowboy fan? What's the reason?

408
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what. No, because they're ugly lights. They're

409
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: the dark blue ones, right, yeah, and they're just not good.

410
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: We have a family on our on our block that

411
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: they would put up those blue lights, and for some

412
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: reason to me, they were kind of depressing. Let me

413
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: ask you this, but I may you think of a

414
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: funeral home rue and white. No, they're just utterly blue. No, no, no,

415
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: they're no white. There's no white. There might be a

416
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: Jewish family putting up lights. Okay, okay, get back back,

417
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: everything says. My point is I was like that for

418
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: the boy. Yeah. My point is they're great out here.

419
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: I love the blue. I love the blue Christmas. Yeah,

420
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: and it's not doesn't make for a blue Christmas. Sometimes

421
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: families and blue lights and well, I should tell you

422
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: in my neighborhood that wasn't experience. And so you wanted

423
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: me to walk into that. I just wanted to see

424
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: where you're going to go with okay, host tomorrow. If

425
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,239
Speaker 1: we had twenty two houses on our on our block, oh,

426
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,719
Speaker 1: here we go, twenty of them, people will either polish

427
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: or ITALI. There you go, there you go? All right?

428
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, yeah, tell us how you'd handle Alvin Kamara.

429
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: Alvin and the Chipmunks Mickey will tell you he's their

430
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: second leading receiver, is what he'll tell you all about

431
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara. And when you watch Alvin Kamara play, you

432
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: know you, I think as great as he is as

433
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: a runner, is he's just as great as a pass catcher.

434
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,719
Speaker 1: It's very obvious by the numbers. It's very obvious by

435
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: the way the Saints use him. I think you have

436
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: to treat Alvin Kamara differently. I think this is like

437
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: when you start talking about how do you play guys

438
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: like Zach Ernst, those guys the tight ends, we talk about, oh,

439
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: safeties and this, that you treat like a wide receiver.

440
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys have to treat Alvin Kamara like

441
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. And I'll tell you how they treat

442
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: him like a wide receiver. We haven't seen very much

443
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: of them playing dime package stuff. We haven't. I mean

444
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: it's been primarily, you know, a lot of single high stuff,

445
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: a lot of man underneath, but it's been a lot

446
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: of of Anthony Brown. I think this is a game

447
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: where you take that, maybe take the extra rusher off

448
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: the field, or take the linebacker off the field. We

449
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: talked about three man line. Mickey's right about that. I

450
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: think you have to play that way. I think you

451
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: have to treat Alvin Kamaro like a wide receiver. I

452
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: would not be one bit surprised. And then if it

453
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: was me just looking at it, I would say I

454
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: would put Jordan Lewis on Alvin Kamara. I would have

455
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: him cover him out of the backfield. If they put

456
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:27,959
Speaker 1: him in the slot, you got a match up there.

457
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: If they put him wide, you got a match up there.

458
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: But I'm not saying you could probably do it every

459
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: single down. I think you're gonna have to find a

460
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: way to get linebackers involved in stuff. But if it

461
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,959
Speaker 1: comes down to crucial down in distant situations, I'm treating

462
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara like he's like he's their second best wide

463
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: receiver behind Thomas. Concerning they've got all these other guys.

464
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: They throw touchdown passes to treat him like a wide receiver,

465
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: cover him like a wide receiver, use your dime player

466
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: to cover him. Well, I think that's a plan because

467
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: they do treat him like a wide receiver. He's not

468
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: just a bailout. Let's throw the screen to him, right,

469
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: you know, beat the blitz kept guy. I mean he is.

470
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: He is their offense in a lot of ways. Uh

471
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: and Michael Thomas as well. But that's that's interesting. I mean,

472
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: have you seen other teams do that? No, not really.

473
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: I just to me, I think it's I think it's

474
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: one of those plans where I'm gonna try something unconventional

475
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: and hope that it works. You know, I'm gonna be

476
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: Fritz Schermer back in the day and play big Nickel,

477
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: and you know I'm gonna do things. I'm not going

478
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: to give him the same look over and over again.

479
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure you know Kamar sees his shares of safeties

480
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: and linebackers and he just eats them alive. I just

481
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: think you have to They use him so many different

482
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: ways in the passing game, and I think you have

483
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 1: to treat him like he's He's a big weapon for them.

484
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,719
Speaker 1: And if you take your best cover guys and put

485
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: him on there, on his ability to stop him from

486
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: catching the football, I think that's the you know, I

487
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: would rather die that death than die the death of

488
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: trying to cover him. Play him in a way where

489
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna have eight catches for eighty yards and two

490
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: of them are touchdowns. I just I don't think I

491
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: can play that way. Plus, if you zone him, you

492
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: get him in space. Good night. Trying to tackle him

493
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: good night if he catches the ball. And Jordan Lewis

494
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: might not be the best answer for tackling. But I'm

495
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: thinking about I'm thinking about size for size, and I'm

496
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: thinking about coverability for guy who can make plays. Yeah,

497
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: that was the one thing I thought of when you

498
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: mentioned his name, is that Jordan's like Buck ninety five.

499
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 1: He's kind of a slender player. But guy, yeah try,

500
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, if he can hang on, people

501
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: get to him, that kind of thing. But I just

502
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: don't think you could play Alvin Kamar straight up and

503
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: expect to have good things happen. Well, let's put this

504
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: in perspective. Michael Thomas is their leading receiver a matter

505
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: of fact, the second leading receiver in the NFL with

506
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: eighty six catches for a thousand eighty yards. Already, their

507
00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: second leading receiver is Elvin Kamar with fifties seven catches

508
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: and four touchdowns. Yeah, the Cowboys leading receiver is Ezekiel

509
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: Elliott with forty seven catches. So that kind of gives

510
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: you an idea of how much they lean on him,

511
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 1: because if I remember correctly, this last game, it was

512
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: a bunch of rookies. Yea at the rest of the

513
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: wide receivers, right, four undrafted guys that they had in there. Yeah,

514
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 1: scored four touchdowns, I think, yeah, but yeah, but yeah,

515
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: when you talk about good, we talk about focal points. Yeah,

516
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: it's those two guys for mister Breeze. So they better

517
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: make sure that Drew Brees is not standing in the

518
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: pocket with his arm up in the air and taking

519
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: all these little baby steps waiting, waiting, waiting, and then

520
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: throwing somebody that's wide open. They better get in his face.

521
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: Maybe they can get two tall Jones to play one game.

522
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: What do you think we mentioned that yesterday? I like

523
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: so much. I repeated the run pass mix for the

524
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: Saints pretty balanced. The well, you know, look, you look

525
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: at it statistically, and the Saints have are the second

526
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: most rushing attempts in the league right and now on

527
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: the on the contrary, their defense, opposing teams have the

528
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: fewest rushing attempts against them play behind exactly. And so

529
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: my question is score stat skewed or when the game

530
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: is on the line, how much are they a run

531
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: past fifty fifty mix or how close to a fifty

532
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: fifty mix or is that stat skewed because they are

533
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: ahead and they're just running the ball late in the

534
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: game and they add to their rushing total. And one

535
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: of the reasons I asked that is their yards per

536
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: attempt rushing is twentieth in the league. Yeah, I think

537
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: that it's more about them trying to really balance their team.

538
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: I really do. And I don't think it but that

539
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: you're right though, they get a lead and they force you,

540
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,719
Speaker 1: they make you one dimensional by the way they play offense.

541
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: You guys covered a Super Bowl team here, several Super

542
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: Bowl teams that threw early and ram late, right, And

543
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: I think that's really the game plan that Sean Payton

544
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: would like to play with. I mean, they haven't had

545
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: the success they've had some games, so they've just given

546
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: up and trying to run the clock out. But you know,

547
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: I think if if this New Orleans Saints had to

548
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: go into a game and run the football, I think

549
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: they damn will could go in there and run the football,

550
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: especially with that offensive line that they have. If you

551
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: look at the Thanksgiving game against Atlanta the other night,

552
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: they tried to establish ingram early on the ground first

553
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: drive of the game and set it up that way.

554
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: They I mean, they they try to be fifty fifty

555
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: in a way. Yeah, they really do. Yeah, and they've

556
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: got two backs who can get it done, and they've

557
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: got an offensive line that gives them holes. But again,

558
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: it does go back to Breeze in that passing game

559
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: and setting up guys for yards after the catch. You know,

560
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: he's extremely accurate. He's completing seventy six percent of his passes,

561
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: and they're not you know, they're an explosive offense, but

562
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: they're not just running a bunch of nine routes either.

563
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: That's ten percent more than the next game. Next guy. Yeah, well,

564
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: they've always been a kind of a guy. Actually, it's

565
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: his quarterback rating. It's ten points higher than the next person. Yeah.

566
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: But seventy six percent. That's going to set a record

567
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: this day and age. Yeah, like you'd probably see more

568
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: of that, but you know it. Guess what over the

569
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: last four games, Dak has completed seventy percent of his passes.

570
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: Sure last four games? How has his team been defensively? Where?

571
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: Where's your biggest concern? Is your biggest concern? Third down?

572
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: Red zone? Mental mistakes? Where's your biggest concern when you

573
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: have to defend the Saints? Oh? Defend them? Yeah, defend them? What?

574
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: What are you worried about the most? You worried about

575
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: your third down defense? Are you worried about your red

576
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: zone defense? Are you worried about them just making you

577
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: the pace that you have to play at to defend

578
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: them too difficult? You know, I'm making them sound like

579
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: they're the Saint Louis Rams of nineteen ninety nine. But

580
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: they put up number they're putting up those kind of Yeah,

581
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: they're putting up crazy numbers. But if you're the Cowboys,

582
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: what's the one area that you can't afford a breakdown? In? Uh?

583
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: Run defense? So you're saying if Camara, if they get

584
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: it going with with those two guys, that it's gonna

585
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: be hard to stop them offensively, yes, because third downs

586
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: not going to be very big if they're running the ball. Well,

587
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: I remember that game we went to Gona, had like

588
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: thirty eight first downs that game at the Superdome. That's

589
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: the set records there. Yeah, that that that is the

590
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: worst I've ever been a part of a team. Being

591
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: a part of a team and watching that, that was

592
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: that was as disheartening as I you know, they were

593
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: watching ten yards of play, I think. Yeah, it's funny

594
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: you mentioned first downs. I was just looking at their

595
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: first downs. Yeah, and they've got two hundred eighty two

596
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: first downs on the season. The Cowboys have two hundred eleven.

597
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: And I was trying to figure out, okay, kind of

598
00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: getting engage statistically about their past run. They have one

599
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty nine first downs passing ninety nine rushing.

600
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: Dallas has one hundred eleven passing and eighty four rushing. Yeah,

601
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: it's a much closer, right mix there. So what's their

602
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: third down conversion for someone? I don't have it in

603
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: front of me. Well, you have the stats there. Well,

604
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: I don't have that stat here. Oh wait, I got it.

605
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: I just you know, I worry about them. I worry

606
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: about Dallas. We're losing receivers and routes, the confusing and

607
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: Dallas has played pretty well, not giving up the big plays.

608
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: But I just worry about the pressure that this this

609
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: group puts on you offensively, when you have to deal

610
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: with running backs, you have to deal with some tight

611
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: ends that can actually catch, and you have to deal

612
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: with Thomas and those guys running rout See. You know,

613
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you make a stop, you make

614
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: a stop in the next you know, it's, oh, it's

615
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: big play, and then okay, then you don't make a stop.

616
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: Now it's a big play, big play, and you know

617
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: you're kind of you're just you just never are comfortable

618
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: playing these guys. So this is what I was afraid of.

619
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: Their third down conversion percentage is forty seven percent. Yeah,

620
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: that's almost fifty. Well, the Atlanta Falcons were high, the

621
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons when the when the Cowboys played the Falcons,

622
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: the Falcons were I think leading the league at fifty

623
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: percent or you know, damn near fifty percent. And you

624
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 1: know that's hey getting stops in this game. I don't

625
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: care where they are getting. I mean, you make them

626
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: punt of course it's a win, but how many times

627
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: can you make them punt? That's yeah, that's you know,

628
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: both teams are gonna be looking at that and saying, okay,

629
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: you know Dallas is playing well offensively. You know, the

630
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: Saint you're probably thinking, how okay, how many times can

631
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: we make them punt? Last three games? Cowboys third down

632
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: percentage fifty percent? Yeah, first eight games I think it

633
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, it's terrible. You know there was a

634
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: time there was twenty three I think at one time. Yeah,

635
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: it was terrible. You know, they're sustaining drives too, so,

636
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 1: but they haven't topped. They topped thirty points twice this year.

637
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. If everybody wants to say

638
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: game land hold the ball, no way. I've seen teams

639
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: hold the ball lose two. We had a mail back

640
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: question about that this year. Yeah, you can't play keepaway

641
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: against teams. You can't play scared. You can't play keepaway.

642
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: If you don't score, you don't finish. If you don't finish,

643
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: you're not gonna win. I don't care how long you

644
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: hold the football. Jason Garrett was asked about that yesterday,

645
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: I think or two days ago, and he said, you

646
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: just gotta It doesn't matter how long the drive is.

647
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: Just sustain the drive, however long it takes to score points.

648
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: Touchdown now preferably could you get would you like to

649
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: have some seven minute drives and eight minute drives adown

650
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: as long as you score. But they'll take a ninety

651
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: yard touchdown past to Mary Cooper too. They've played eleven games.

652
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: I guess how many punts they're averaging per game? Well,

653
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 1: just a point two, because Thomas moore Stead has twenty

654
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: four punts on the seas very good? Is that a

655
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: league low? So said twenty five? Yes, he does two points.

656
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: The averages over forty, the averages forty six and a

657
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: half yards of punt, but he doesn't qualify among the

658
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: league leaders because he doesn't have enough. I think four.

659
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: I think I think they've had three games where they

660
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: haven't punted. I think I'm right. He's got the best

661
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,240
Speaker 1: job in the NFL. Well right now, he does doesn't

662
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: have to go out there. Yeah, I just I just

663
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: there's all right. Let me ask you this deep snapper two,

664
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: by the way, more concerned, more concerned? If should the

665
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,959
Speaker 1: Saints be more concerned? What should the Saints be concerned about.

666
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: Let's let's focus on what they should be concerned about.

667
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,760
Speaker 1: And they got like the number one rated rush defense

668
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: in the league. A lot of that is we've seen

669
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: what other team do we play this year that somebody

670
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: else try Troy same way? Yeah, exactly, they've got the

671
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: same problem that these other teams have had. What do

672
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: we yeah, same way? What do we do with a

673
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 1: Marii Cooper? You say the Saints? The Saints have to

674
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: So you pick your poison. You're gonna try and stop

675
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 1: Zeke from running the football, or you're gonna a you're

676
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: gonna stop a Marii Cooper? Right? Which one? You're Dennis Allen?

677
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: We have this discussion now. It seems the lovedy bells

678
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,240
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen. Yeah, you know who their third leading rusher

679
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: is in attempts Hill. Yes, yeah, you get there's another problem. Yeah,

680
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: there's another problem. Thirty two one seventy four. Yeah, that's

681
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 1: a snap that reck snapped at him and raise it tough.

682
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: It's almost six yards. About the watch Minnesota game they

683
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: try to try. This is a great play. They threw it.

684
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: They had a reverse, they were going to run a

685
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: fourth and one. They were gonna run a toss going left,

686
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 1: but they tossed him the ball going back to the right,

687
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: and everybody's flowing to the left. But Drew Brees kind

688
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 1: of sneaks out and they're gonna throw him the ball.

689
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 1: On fourth and one, they're gonna try and throw a

690
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: throwback to you know. So Yeah, Sean Payne, he's been

691
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 1: a little cute there for that TV game. Get Ready,

692
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: No Cowboy, get ready. Yeah, he's gonna do something cute

693
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: this game. Get ready. Yeah. Yeah. Horace in Atlanta has

694
00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: been holding Horace. You're on talking Cowboys rant. Thanks for

695
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: taking my call, guys. Yeah, I'm concerned mostly with them

696
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: throwing the ball steep and hitting our safeties. I mean,

697
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: we've given up big plays, especially against Seattle. Our safeties

698
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: have been exposed a couple of times. I think Brian

699
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: is right about trying to put in another corner or

700
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: something to cover Kamar, because I think he might expose Jalen.

701
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Jalen has been good, don't get me wrong,

702
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: but he's not. He hasn't been as good as Vendor

703
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: as She's gotten lost a couple of times in games.

704
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: But the thing that I'm really concerned about mostly is

705
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: that it's going to come down to coaching. I don't

706
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: think that our coaching can stack up against theirs. And

707
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: I say that because I think that our team can

708
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: play with him. I think we have the talent. I

709
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: really don't expect and I heard you guys mentioned that

710
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: you're expecting Taco will be back. Look, Taco is is

711
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: not affecting the game. He got a sack because he

712
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: was unblocked, and he has one sack of the season,

713
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: so I don't expect him to play a big role.

714
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: But we need to Marcus Lawrence. I would much better

715
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: have David been playing than Taco. But I really think

716
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: that we are going to need uh better coaching. And

717
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: I think and the point I really wanted to make

718
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: was I wanted to ask you guys, at what point

719
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: will this front office and this staff realized that Dak

720
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: won't grow until you get him a great coach to

721
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: coach him. As far as I mean, I know, Brian,

722
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: you've been very critical of Dak over over the season,

723
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: and I know Nick Eatman has been as well, but

724
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: I don't and I think that's kind of unjustified because

725
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: he has been there on raw talent and not really

726
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: had the coaching that a lot of elite players get.

727
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 1: I think that they need to take the next step. Wondering,

728
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm wondering when will he get that coaching? Yeah, boy,

729
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm gonna say this, the last three

730
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 1: weeks not better offensively for DAK, better for coaching, better

731
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: for those things. I think, better all the line. I mean,

732
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: it's it's it's been a blessing that unfortunately, you know,

733
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: the gentleman had to get hurt for them to put in,

734
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah we lost. He must have taken too much time. Helo.

735
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:17,919
Speaker 1: Is that who he's gonna say? Yeah, usually talk about

736
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: sue fel like guys made the difference. Yeah, he's I

737
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean I have been very critical, but

738
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,280
Speaker 1: I think though that you have to give these coaches

739
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: a little credit for what they've done in this winning streak.

740
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: Though I think the offense looks different, you know, I

741
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,240
Speaker 1: think Mickey's been right. I mean, you get better players

742
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: around the guy. I'm not gonna sit there and hang

743
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: this one on on Kellen Moore, you know, and let's

744
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, me and coaching low, low hanging fruit. You know,

745
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: that's if I just I think they've been more creative

746
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: with some of the stuff, the scheme stuff. They've had

747
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,399
Speaker 1: better execution, done a better job of block, and they've

748
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: done a better job of catching the football, done a

749
00:40:55,600 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: better job of manipulating first downs, on third downs. You know,

750
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: they've done a better job in the red zone. You know,

751
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: they've just done a better job overall. You know how

752
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: many passes you think Drew Brees is thrown? Just take

753
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 1: a guess. Eleven games. I'm gonna say you averages thirty

754
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 1: thirty three, fifty six. Yeah, there you go. Now, I'll

755
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: take a guess how many times he's been sacked. I'm

756
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: gonna say he's been sacked eleven times. Anybody else that

757
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 1: sounds good? Head? Yeah, head? Yeah, all right. Now, So

758
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: is that coaching, that's that offensive line? He's playing awfully? Well,

759
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: they're doing well. And I bet Dak's and I know everybody's,

760
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: Oh he holds the ball too long? Yeah? What has

761
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 1: he been sacked? Like thirty two times? Most in the league.

762
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: It's up there, No, it's thirty six. It was thirty

763
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: two going into So we're now ahead of the giants

764
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: in Arizona and those people. I think it's right up there.

765
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: So he's been sacked. Looked like he was gonna get

766
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: some times the other day. Thirty eight times, yeah, thirty

767
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: eight all right, But I'd like to know what has

768
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: been the sack numbers the last three weeks? Is four

769
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: or four last week? So we average in four a game?

770
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 1: Is that what we're averaging? Four in the first half? Yeah,

771
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: last week and then zero the second talking and I'll

772
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: tell you, but I say five four two four five

773
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:32,479
Speaker 1: against Tennessee four Philadelphia two Atlanta for Washington. So he's

774
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: playing well, But that's nine. That's fifteen sacks and four

775
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:43,520

849
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,399
Speaker 1: One quick thing about Miles and hey, he's a little

850
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: topical because he had a great game in that two

851
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: thousand and nine game they wanted New Orleans. There you go.

852
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: That drop is a product of he's such a nice guy.

853
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: He never wanted to say anything that would become like

854
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:13,800
Speaker 1: a explosive headline, you know, because he just followed perfect

855
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett player. Yeah, just wanted to you know, and

856
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 1: he would get kind of asked a loaded question. And anyway,

857
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: that's why the drop is so great. I thought, maybe

858
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: you remembered what the question? I don't. Did that? I don't,

859
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 1: but you know, are you frustrated with your targets? All

860
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. He would kind of brush it off.

861
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: By the way. I saw the Patrick Creton Legend show

862
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: last it was is that a production of us Okay,

863
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: did you were you now you have a hand. Okay.

864
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: I liked you know, Patrick Crayton was an undervalued player here.

865
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: I thought he had a good career here. In fact,

866
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 1: there was a sound bite from you on the show

867
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 1: basically saying that same thing. I like Patrick Craon And

868
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: guess what, you're gonna get to talk to him in

869
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: a week from Wednesday because he's gonna be on the

870
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: Cowboys legend. That's exactly all right. He came to Atlanta

871
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: for the game just as a fan had him on

872
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: the show. And yeah, that was a that was a

873
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: good piece on him. He gets remembered too much, I

874
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: think for the jud drop. Yeah, and that's what you

875
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: pointed out on the pace last night, that if we

876
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: aired on Fox Sports Southwest last night. But you know,

877
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 1: a seventh round pick who developed into a starting receiver

878
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: for this team, he had a good career, good career.

879
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: He did set your DVRs because that thing shows about

880
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: eleven or twelve times. Yeah. Yeah, and before we get

881
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: to the new good player and I and what I

882
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 1: liked about him was his he had a his attitude.

883
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: I just liked he was a tough guy. Those DeSoto

884
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: kids are tough guys and Um, you know he kind

885
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 1: of typified that and it came out of Northwest Oklahoma state,

886
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 1: right and made himself into an NFL player. All right. Um, turnovers, Okay,

887
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: the Saints the last nine games have turned it over

888
00:48:56,719 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: just five times. Okay, has a lot to do with

889
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 1: those ten sacks on the season that they've given up

890
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: only ten. That's where turnovers start in the pocket. Rod Marinelli,

891
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 1: that's him. Their first two games, they lost to Tampa

892
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 1: Bay in the season opener forty eight to forty. They

893
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: actually took a seven nothing lead in that game and

894
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: then got outscored by fitz Magic forty eight to seventeen

895
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,800
Speaker 1: through the end of the third quarter and scored sixteen

896
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: and the fourth to make it look closer at forty

897
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: eight to four. See, this is what scares me even

898
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,280
Speaker 1: you know, we talk about build the lead, double digit

899
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 1: leads and all that. The way this guy plays that,

900
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: that's I mean, yeah, you're sitting there thinking, okay, there's oh,

901
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: there's a minute twenty left though, cowboys got this one,

902
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: and you're thinking, when you played Drew Brees, it's man,

903
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: please look at their three zero's hit because you just

904
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 1: don't know, kind of like playing Rogers. Well, yeah, I

905
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:56,479
Speaker 1: mean just like that's got a minute twelve on the clock.

906
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,439
Speaker 1: That's I must playing these guys. I must. I hate

907
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 1: playing last year when we said, imagine they scored thirty

908
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: points in those games and they lost two of them

909
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: when they scored thirty, imagine scoring forty and getting beat

910
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: and what was it forty eight when they lost when

911
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: they lost the Denver Yeah, yeah, fifty one, forty eight.

912
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: He's got two interceptions, right right? Twenty nine touchdowns, two picks.

913
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: That's wrong, and how does that happen? I'm trying to think.

914
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: I saw one of the interceptions. I forgot who it

915
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: was against. I was watching, I was watching film. What

916
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: game do you have an interception in? Here? It just

917
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,879
Speaker 1: recently was Atlanta? Did Atlanta pick him off last game?

918
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: I think it was. I'm sorry, I was like, I've

919
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 1: watched Atlanta Minnesota. I'm just trying to watch people that

920
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: might against Atlanta last game? Yeah, yeah, I just it's

921
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to which is why they only got

922
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: thirty one points? Was the po because off? Let me

923
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: I see this? Are the Cowboys capable of playing a

924
00:50:55,680 --> 00:51:01,399
Speaker 1: perfect game? A perfect game? A perfect game? No, because

925
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody is, and they're not. We sound

926
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: like we're making this team in that where's the Florida

927
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,919
Speaker 1: lee on their helmet? They're play perfect games. We're making

928
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: that sound like that because almost perfect against Detroit. Weren't

929
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:18,720
Speaker 1: they cowboys? But here's what happened. I don't go ahead.

930
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 1: Here's what can't happen. First in goal at the four

931
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: and end up with a field goal, which has happened

932
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: in two consecutive weeks. Got a cash in there. Yeah,

933
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: you can't turn it over, and you need to find

934
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:31,439
Speaker 1: a way to get the ball from them. Now, maybe

935
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,720
Speaker 1: it's not an interception. You said it starts in the pocket.

936
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 1: They had a couple I go back to this oh

937
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 1: nine game, Okay, but they this was a team that

938
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: was putting up thirty six points a game back then too.

939
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 1: They got two st sack strip fumbles against him. Then

940
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 1: that's how you're gonna get the ball from It's got

941
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 1: to be a d Law special in this game, probably undefeated.

942
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to affect him that way because he's

943
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: not He's not going to hand it to you in

944
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 1: the past. Okay, Then what I'm asking them is, we

945
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,840
Speaker 1: don't think they could play a perfect game. I mean,

946
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 1: let mean perfect in the way of, like Mickey says,

947
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 1: when you get down the red zone, score touchdowns, you know,

948
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: not give up huge chunk plays, get a turnover. Yeah,

949
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: plus not have a fifty yard kickoff return against you.

950
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,760
Speaker 1: You know, last four games, I've looked it up yesterday,

951
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 1: they've had eight possessions first in goal and they've only

952
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 1: scored four touchdowns, only scored four times. The other were

953
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: field goals. That can't happen again, Mickey, that's a that's

954
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: a gut punch stat right there. Cannot happen the Saints

955
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:33,839
Speaker 1: the last five games. You know me sacks they've given

956
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: up the last five games, which they've scored thirty forty five,

957
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 1: fifty one, forty eight and thirty one points to very

958
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: many two one one sack, And they went a four

959
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,320
Speaker 1: game stretch without giving up a sack, and then Atlanta

960
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,919
Speaker 1: got to them one time. Yeah, and Atlanta is really

961
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 1: not known for rushing the path, well except for last year,

962
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 1: but they didn't. Dallas held then the two Dallas you

963
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: give have two sacks against sim What does that tell you? Yeah,

964
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 1: you know, I just I think they put this team

965
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: put so much pressure on you. And I use the

966
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:08,800
Speaker 1: word perfect, but in reality you you almost you can't

967
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 1: afford a muff punt or a holding penaly on a

968
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: twelve yard run. You're not talking about Dak going Yeah,

969
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Yeah, I'm not talking about Philip Rivers

970
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 1: numbers twenty five and twenty five. I can't hand the

971
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 1: next yeah, yeah, yeah, you give them yeah, you you

972
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:29,320
Speaker 1: fumble the ball, you get a holding call on a screen.

973
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: You know you have a you get off the field

974
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: on third down, but Anthony Brown gets called for illegal

975
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: hands the face. You can't have a sloppy game, No,

976
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 1: you can't. That's how you you really they this team

977
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 1: puts like I keep saying this, they put so much

978
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 1: pressure on you not to make a mistake, and they

979
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: force you in the mistakes. That's why if you win

980
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 1: the toss, you better take the ball. Do not give

981
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 1: them the ball? I think so, don't give them any

982
00:53:55,120 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 1: So you don't. You don't defer because a position to you,

983
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 1: you want to be down seven nothing, you know what

984
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: the you know what you want? Do you want to

985
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 1: take the chance of having them have a possession, a

986
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: scoring possession At the end of the first half, and

987
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: a scoring possession at the beginning of the second half

988
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: of the first half. Well, but they've got to do

989
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: a pretty good job of managing that clock. Well, then

990
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 1: they can have the ball at the beginning of the

991
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: game at the end of the half. Do you know

992
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: what the number is for number of deferred to the

993
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:27,720
Speaker 1: second half? So I heard this, I heard the stat

994
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: You know what the number is now for coaches that

995
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 1: the percentages on that eighty ninety five percent of the

996
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: coaches in the league were now deferring the second They

997
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,879
Speaker 1: can play the five percent rule. I get them, absolutely,

998
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: you got faith in this defense to hold them at

999
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 1: thirty or under. I mean, do you think that they

1000
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: hold them under thirty? They got a shot to win

1001
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:55,319
Speaker 1: this degree. I looked it up. I mean, this is stats, right.

1002
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 1: There's two teams that are statistically are better defenses that

1003
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: they've Saints have played. That's it. Minnesota one of them.

1004
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 1: Minnesota and Baltimore leads the league and they I think

1005
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 1: it was thirty and twenty four points allowed, respectively. If

1006
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: you can in that area, you know, and the way

1007
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,959
Speaker 1: your offense is playing, I think you got a chance. Okay,

1008
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 1: here's here's the stat I want if if I take

1009
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,840
Speaker 1: the ball first, I want to know who gets the

1010
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: most possessions in a game. Okay, somebody go find that

1011
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: next gen folks. Yeah, Art, get off my lawn. I

1012
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 1: take the ball first in a game, do I end

1013
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,280
Speaker 1: up with more possessions or do they come out equal?

1014
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: It's like tic tac toe who goes for easy wins?

1015
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 1: Oh oh, Douglas Douglass drop. That was very aggressive, very violent,

1016
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: almost two. You know, I you want to bet your

1017
00:55:56,280 --> 00:56:00,360
Speaker 1: salary on making that play call? You got one? Do

1018
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: you play with the home Do you try with the

1019
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: home defense though Mickey to get the stop? Yeah? Do

1020
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 1: you play? You play with the noise factor? Saw I

1021
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 1: saw noise affect a game the other day at Kyle Field.

1022
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: I saw noise affect a game. I'm hopeful that they

1023
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,240
Speaker 1: can now. The problem is you're in a fifty fifty stadium,

1024
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: likely this Thursday night. You're likely you're like Mickey, might

1025
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: be right taking the ball. It might not matter because

1026
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:22,839
Speaker 1: those Saints fans might be just as loud as your

1027
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: fans when you have the ball, and you know what,

1028
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:31,239
Speaker 1: the the away team they don't get in their seats late, Yeah,

1029
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: because they got no place to go usually tailgate, right,

1030
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 1: they're anxious to If you look at the Cowboys when

1031
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: they're on the road, their fans are in the stadium. First. Yeah,

1032
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: just saying this will be a fifty fifty. Not give

1033
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 1: them the ball first? Why wouldn't you put yourself behind

1034
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: seven to nothing because in the second half and they

1035
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 1: get they get a two minute drive before the half,

1036
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: and then they got that in their back. If I

1037
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: get a two minute drive, that would be nice. That

1038
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 1: means the what's the what's the wind streak? When they're deferring,

1039
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: they're two, they're they're the last three. They've had two defers.

1040
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:12,919
Speaker 1: They've deferred rights Philadelphia, Atlanta they deferred. They deferred both.

1041
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 1: They weren't playing the Saints. I put the confidence in

1042
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 1: my defense right there and say, look, we trust you guys.

1043
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 1: Let's let's start this thing. But they can't score if

1044
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: I got the ball, you hope right? No, they's wait

1045
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 1: three plays. Fine, but they've got to wait three plays.

1046
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 1: I think robs onto seven, you hold these guys under thirty,

1047
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 1: You keep this twenty eight or under. I think they

1048
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 1: got a shot to win an opportunity. I think they do.

1049
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: You can't let this thing get in the thirties or forties.

1050
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: I mean, of course they it gets that. It's it's

1051
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a thirty four seventeen game. If that happens.

1052
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: All right, y'all will be talking Talking Cowboys again tomorrow.

1053
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,479
Speaker 1: I got TV duties tomorrow. I gotta figure I gotta

1054
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: tell them to go cover this guy with a cornerback.

1055
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 1: There you go, all right, Jordan Lewis, all right, we'll

1056
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 1: talk at you tomorrow. I'm talking Cowboys. This has been
