<v Speaker 1>and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This He's talking Cowboys

0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World Headlours at the

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>Star in Friscolatt. Here are Mickey Spagnola, Brian brought us,

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Rob Phillips, and Bill Jones. Mickey, did you wait at

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>the camera? Did saluted? I didn't see you? Okay? Can

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 1>it be Friday already? It's Friday here at the Star.

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>We are a little over forty eight hours. I haven't

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 1>done the math on it away from Cowboys versus Saints

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:56.760
<v Speaker 1>on Thursday night at at and T Stadium and puzzle

0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>looks from Mickey Spagnola and Brian brought us. They're doing

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:06.039
<v Speaker 1>the mathven twenty kickoff on Thursday night, as we talked

0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>to you at nine thirty four on a Tuesday morning,

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 1>which is actually a Friday morning by the Cowboys work week,

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.720
<v Speaker 1>because of course this is a second straight Thursday game,

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 1>and then they get the mini buye on the weekend,

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 1>and then the Philadelphia Eagles come to town. We're in

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>the middle of a three game homestand for your Dallas Cowboys, Yeah,

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.400
<v Speaker 1>how about that? Better take advantage of every single one

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>of them counts too. They do everyone everyone the rest

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:35.959
<v Speaker 1>of the way. And according to Jerry, Oh, they're almost

0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 1>win now every place. Brian, I subscribe to your theory. Now,

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 1>that's right. They're desperate. Please come my direction, guys, It's

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 1>come my direction. They're desperate. Yeah, and Jerry one, thank

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>you Mickey for Sandward, I'm desperate. Mickey hates the desperate theory.

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Although Jerry on the radio this morning on the fan

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Local League, how was it phrased? It was about being

0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>a desperate team. They were more sprit when they were

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>what was the record three and five? Yeah, than they

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 1>are now. But they need to keep that desperation right

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:08.680
<v Speaker 1>now because it seemed to work the last three weeks.

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 1>You know. The other interesting thing, and I think he's

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 1>right about this because everybody kind of misconstrued what he

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.079
<v Speaker 1>was trying to say on Friday and again this morning

0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>when he was comparing some things to the super Bowl, right,

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, no, he's not saying this is the

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys super Bowl because if you win, then what do

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 1>you gotta gotta? You gotta play again next week. He's

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>going to question the super Bowl thing, right, You gotta

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 1>play against it. What he was trying to say is

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 1>the importance of every play in the game is like

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>a Super Bowl. You have to treat it like a

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl. Play. Yes, it's like whateverything about this. When

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 1>you watch baseball for one hundred and sixty two games,

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>you kind of casually watch, you fall asleep, whatever. When

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:53.079
<v Speaker 1>you get to the playoffs, every pitch is important. You're

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:55.920
<v Speaker 1>locked in. Oh he threw a curveball. Oh why did

0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 1>he throw over that plate? The ball should have been

0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>in the dirt because he had two strikes on the guy. Right,

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>you go through that, And that's what he was trying

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 1>to point out about this game, that every play, every pass,

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>every fumble is takes on the importance of a super

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Bowl because you're playing a team that just won ten

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:18.119
<v Speaker 1>straight games. Okay, so you're buying that what every play

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>is important? Yeah? Yeah, I think so. I think we'll

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>be locked in on this game right from But what

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.679
<v Speaker 1>if they go out and just flop well next week,

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I know, but does that mean every play the following

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>week is Yeah. Absolutely. It's like the old Duane Thomas quote.

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 1>If this is the ultimate game, then why do they

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>play it again? Next year. Yeah, and you can't have

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>the ultimate game in game twelve, that's right, see, but

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 1>you can treat each play like it's the ultimate play.

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Last Friday, though, Jerry was talking about the importance of

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 1>what we can prove to ourselves about playing well in

0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>this game. Sure this part if this guy, this team's

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>coming in and they've got all the accolades and and

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>we're playing well, it's kind of a statement game for us.

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, change if you get blown out, But what

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>happens if you lose? Yeah, it doesn't change. It can't

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 1>change because what I'm trying to say, I got Washington

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>and Philly playing each other though, hello kid Garrison going,

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.040
<v Speaker 1>hey guys, they're gonna gain a game, and one of

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.840
<v Speaker 1>those have to lose, right, Yeah, they don't have to.

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:25.279
<v Speaker 1>They could tie. Philadelphia's a good point. Philadelphia's got the Rams.

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 1>And also the Houston Texans left too. From the mistaken

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 1>who seem to be marching on. They are marching on.

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I thought they were going to be in trouble last

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.159
<v Speaker 1>night and then they just boy, they put their foot

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:40.159
<v Speaker 1>on the pedal. I don't know, I mean straight ninety

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 1>seven yards? Is that what it was? Touchdown? No, no, no, no, no.

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I I hear what I say. I'm from the I'm

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 1>from the theory of all win, and I understand what

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Mickey's saying. But you know, I mean also, I'm trying

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>to figure out, though, if they lose this game, what

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 1>does that mean? That means you're six and six and

0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>you got four games to go, and in all likelihood,

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia beats Washington on Monday night and everybody six and

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 1>six with four games to go. Yeah, and the object

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.280
<v Speaker 1>is to get in the playoffs, right, I agree to that,

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.599
<v Speaker 1>And the easiest way to get into the playoffs is

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.159
<v Speaker 1>how win the division. There you go, that is, but

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Mickey will tell you got wild card hopes too. You

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 1>do well? You do? You get a home playoff game

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 1>if you win the division. Yeah, that's what I was

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of thinking about it, right, take care of that,

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:30.280
<v Speaker 1>take care of that division. And how many wins does

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:34.119
<v Speaker 1>it will it take to win that division? Maybe nine?

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 1>You're with nine, so that would be three, three and

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 1>two down the stretch, I was gonna say ten. I

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 1>think I'm one. I think I think you gotta win

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 1>ten myself. Hmm, I'll go you're gonna say, Washington or

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Philly wins three of the next five. See, I can't

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 1>figure out playing each other a couple of times twice. Right,

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>there's two losses in there. I can't Summer nine might

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 1>do it. And you figure out Philadelphia because okay, wow,

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 1>they beat Washington, right Giants? Excuse anybody giving them a

0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.200
<v Speaker 1>ton of credit for that? I mean, no, okay, hear

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. But but they're they improved. They want

0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 1>a game, and it's like, you're gonna have to beat

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.920
<v Speaker 1>that same Giants team. If you read if you read stuff,

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 1>everybody's like, Okay, everything's great. Now you know, they figured

0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:25.120
<v Speaker 1>out who their running back is and they're overcoming their injuries,

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>when the week before it was like, well what happened

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.160
<v Speaker 1>last year? They overcame all these injuries, and now this

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 1>year they can't over overcome their injuries that they lose

0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:39.360
<v Speaker 1>the formula. Okay, they are Philadelphias. Okay, here's what Philadelphia.

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia's five and six. Yeah, they play at home against Washington.

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:47.279
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna give him a w for that six and six?

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay at Dallas hmm, okay, we won't. We won't. All right,

0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get through this week at the Rams. All

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 1>that puts him at six and eight, Houston six and nine.

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.840
<v Speaker 1>So you're saying, at Washington six it won't matter. Okay,

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>So look, but if you do, now, if you do, okay,

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.200
<v Speaker 1>if you do, Washington's sketch. Okay, but but but okay,

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 1>just a review in a nutshell. Philadelphia has got two

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:22.280
<v Speaker 1>games where you're right, okay, two games against the Redskins,

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 1>and then they play and they play at Dallas at

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 1>the Rams and home against Houston. Okay, which would probably

0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>be a game that will matter to Houston second to

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>last game of the year because Indianapolis has been playing

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 1>well and you've got to play Indianapolis too, right, all right,

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 1>now over there easier to Washington is anything. Do we

0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 1>know that Washington plays two games against the Eagles, Okay,

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Sandwiched around this schedule, Giants win at Jacksonville, win frauds

0:07:55.920 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 1>at Tennessee when maybe, okay, maybe Tennessee. Come on, really,

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Cult McCoy, that's the most embarrassing loss you've had this year.

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 1>They lost their quarterback and an offensive line. They can't

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 1>the following week they beat the Patriots, did they not? Yeah?

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 1>But everybody who's everybody who's left the Patriot organization. It's

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>gone somewhere. Detroit's beat the Patriots, and so has Tennessee.

0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 1>But let's say Washington and Philadelphia split their two games, Okay, okay,

0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:27.200
<v Speaker 1>so each have a win. Washington has games against the

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Giants and at Jacksonville. That gets them to three wins,

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.960
<v Speaker 1>regardless of what they do against Tennessee. Right, So that's

0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.679
<v Speaker 1>nine right for them? That would be nine for them,

0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 1>and if they beat Tennessee, it would be ten. Okay,

0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.680
<v Speaker 1>based on just pure projections, I'm gonna say I'm gonna

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 1>go with nine, okay, right, Yeah, we need to review

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.960
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys schedule. They have to play Jacksonville, which, yes,

0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 1>they're playing at jackson and they're firing everybody, right, right.

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 1>They benched Blake Bortles, That's what I'm saying, changed the

0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.080
<v Speaker 1>offensive coordinator, right, they did that. But I McCall its

0:08:56.120 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 1>son right, yeah, Hacket, Yeah, which unfortunate. Only in the

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.080
<v Speaker 1>morning news this morning, the first paragraph said they they

0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:07.000
<v Speaker 1>fired their offensive quarter in Hackett. And then the second

0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 1>quarter is and not only are they changing quarterbacks, they

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 1>got rid of their offensive former Cowboys offensive court. Hacket. No, No,

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 1>they said that it was paragraph, It's like, oops, thanks

0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:23.800
<v Speaker 1>seeing That's why I tell you got to have good

0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 1>editors like you. Thanks Mick, right and then and then

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 1>just to review the cowboys remaining schedule, New Orleans on Thursday,

0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:36.679
<v Speaker 1>and then home against Philadelphia at an Indianapolis team that

0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 1>research on five in a row, going on six in

0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 1>a row because the team they played Jacksonville on Monday

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:47.800
<v Speaker 1>or Sunday, and then Tampa Bay and the Giants. I'm

0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:49.880
<v Speaker 1>not look, I'm not saying they're just gonna back into

0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:53.559
<v Speaker 1>this thing, but let's we gotta see what Washington is

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 1>without Alex Smith. They didn't win the first game without them.

0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.959
<v Speaker 1>They've got injuries all over the roster offensive line, Yeah

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 1>for sure. I mean what are they We don't know

0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:07.720
<v Speaker 1>at this point with without their quarterbacks. So Philly, Philly

0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.800
<v Speaker 1>could could catch on, who knows, But like Brian said,

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 1>that's some tough games ahead. Hey, I rode off. See

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 1>I rode off the Eagles when I came in from

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.599
<v Speaker 1>putting Christmas lights out on a Sunday after dude, I

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 1>saw they were trading the Giants nineteen to three. Yeah,

0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:23.839
<v Speaker 1>then I got finished with the next row of Christmas lights.

0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.240
<v Speaker 1>I came back get in. They had one, so they

0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.360
<v Speaker 1>were back at it. That's this league. I might have

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.679
<v Speaker 1>to hire you to put mine up. No, no, I

0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:33.720
<v Speaker 1>don't I put them out. I don't put them up.

0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.200
<v Speaker 1>They go on the sidewalk. I don't get on a roof.

0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 1>That all being said, this is a must win, mister

0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 1>brought us really, yeah, I mean you got to go

0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.760
<v Speaker 1>into this thinking if we chose it over if they lose, Yeah, no,

0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.040
<v Speaker 1>it's not over. But you gotta have that. You gotta

0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 1>have that. You can't you can't list the games. That's

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:54.199
<v Speaker 1>the thing. You can't. Can't lose any games. So you've

0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:59.439
<v Speaker 1>got just win. So are we saying you've got little

0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:01.959
<v Speaker 1>chance against the Saints unless you go in with that

0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:06.880
<v Speaker 1>mindset that this is a critical game that you may

0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:10.839
<v Speaker 1>or may not must win. I think no. I just

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 1>think they've they've they've had a certain mentality the last

0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.640
<v Speaker 1>few weeks. He disagrees with it, but I think they've

0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:18.959
<v Speaker 1>had a certain mentality and it's worked for him. I

0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 1>really do. I think they've they've kind of had that

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 1>urgency there. And and what Jerry is saying, you got

0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.679
<v Speaker 1>to be on point every play against the team, like

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.600
<v Speaker 1>the Saints, no question about it, because they can burn

0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.959
<v Speaker 1>you on any given play. Sure, they can embarrass you.

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:35.920
<v Speaker 1>This is a team that will try and embarrass you

0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.240
<v Speaker 1>if they can't. And that heightens your senses too. Just

0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.040
<v Speaker 1>knowing how good a team is that you're facing doesn't

0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:43.199
<v Speaker 1>mean you don't think you can beat them, but you

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 1>know your antennas are up just a little bit, a

0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 1>little bit more. There's no slack. You can't relax, you know,

0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 1>you take the mentality they did in what was it

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:53.160
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and nine when they went out there and

0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:59.440
<v Speaker 1>beat them twenty four seventeen seventeen. Yeah, you know Marcus

0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 1>ware game. You wish you had de Marcus Ware rushing

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.560
<v Speaker 1>that would get to Marcus Lawrence. You might have Taco

0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:08.560
<v Speaker 1>rushing now, yeah, give us that mistake. Last week, though,

0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 1>what Taco playing Taco? He's getting closer. He was closer

0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 1>last week. You gonna tell me he's gonna play this week?

0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.079
<v Speaker 1>What do you He was full on Monday. That's a

0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:19.679
<v Speaker 1>good sign. And by the way, why don't we have

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.960
<v Speaker 1>injury reports earlier in the week on these Thursday weeks.

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to understand why they skipped Sunday. Yeah,

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 1>they didn't have to do one. So yeah, that's what

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. Why doesn't the league make them do one

0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.800
<v Speaker 1>on a sudden one because the games? I don't think

0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:35.920
<v Speaker 1>the league office is open Sunday, so that's another subsidering.

0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 1>I think that's considering they play games on Sunday. Yeah, no,

0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.200
<v Speaker 1>you're right. No, that's why they know the train schedule

0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.199
<v Speaker 1>to Connecticut, though I promise you that they don't have

0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:49.559
<v Speaker 1>it processed. Well, they had a game on Monday, yes,

0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.800
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, I think the key things, I mean, we

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 1>knew Austin when ready, Irving wasn't ready, Sean Lee, um,

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 1>who else? Uh Swain, Jeff Swain with those guys weren't

0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 1>going to play. So the key thing is Taco looks

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:15.960
<v Speaker 1>like Swain. Yeah, sorry, she should be Swain, Um should

0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:21.599
<v Speaker 1>be Zach Martin Mom limited as they listened are And

0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:23.920
<v Speaker 1>I sorry about that, folks. Yeah, I really like them.

0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 1>They're really nice people, very nice. Us. Swain was at

0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 1>least limited, so he was out there. Uh, Sue a

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:35.199
<v Speaker 1>Philo limited, so at least he was out there. Connor

0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:39.319
<v Speaker 1>Williams full so he's out there. Tyrann Smith was not

0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.560
<v Speaker 1>out there. We're worried about that one. Guys, I am

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:46.959
<v Speaker 1>now Jerry indicated probably looking at game time again like

0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.080
<v Speaker 1>last week. But I didn't like it when he said

0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:52.880
<v Speaker 1>like last week because he was Yeah, last week he

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:58.439
<v Speaker 1>wasn't good. Yeah, we'll see, so see. But again, you

0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:02.600
<v Speaker 1>know they'll they'll probably you have him listed as DNP.

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, maybe today he does a little something,

0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:08.160
<v Speaker 1>then he'll be questionable for the game. And you know,

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.040
<v Speaker 1>those guys get all excited on the radio that we

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:14.680
<v Speaker 1>don't get the accurate injury stuff, and it's like he's

0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:17.679
<v Speaker 1>not obligated to tell the Saints anything, let alone you.

0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 1>That's all he's obligated to do right there, right on

0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.360
<v Speaker 1>that sheet of paper. And so will we get one

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.400
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow for the walk through as well? And it's a

0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Thursday game, we'll get the final. We usually get the

0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:36.400
<v Speaker 1>final because it says Monday, Tuesday Wednesday game status. Okay,

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.480
<v Speaker 1>so we get extra one. We got one last week

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:43.760
<v Speaker 1>on Wednesday Wednesday. Yeah, all right, and the Saints the

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:50.200
<v Speaker 1>only person they had not practice was Tehran Armstead tackle. Yeah,

0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:55.560
<v Speaker 1>he's got a peck. Everybody else was they listed was limited. Yeah.

0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Bush Rod started against Atlanta in that game and that

0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:03.840
<v Speaker 1>offensive line strength of that team, without without question, without question,

0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:05.720
<v Speaker 1>this is one of the better offensive lines that the

0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys will face this year. And is it the best

0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 1>one they faced? You think yes so far? Yes, okay,

0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.440
<v Speaker 1>yes it will be and and it and really if

0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.160
<v Speaker 1>you look at it, you know, Ryan Ramcheck against a

0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Lawrence will be a very good matchup. Ramcheck alin

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.560
<v Speaker 1>his second year out of Wisconsin. Wisconsin's done a great

0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 1>job putting Lynman in this league. But Ramcheck is I mean,

0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:30.840
<v Speaker 1>he's a big, strong, athletic guy and he can he

0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.240
<v Speaker 1>can match up with Lawrence. This will be, uh, this

0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.520
<v Speaker 1>will be interesting to see how the plan of attack

0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:41.080
<v Speaker 1>that Lawrence takes against him, you know, because usually Lawrence

0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.600
<v Speaker 1>can out athlete and outpower guys. This guy's kind of

0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.360
<v Speaker 1>a combination of both. And then he's got this Larry

0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Wolford next to him, and and that you know, to me,

0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.320
<v Speaker 1>that's a big, strong guy too. So that right side

0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:58.560
<v Speaker 1>of that Saint's offensive line has got some power to it.

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.840
<v Speaker 1>And you know, and some of the good combinations they've

0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 1>been able to work is when they've been able to

0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:06.280
<v Speaker 1>get Crawford inside and some of those Nickel rushes and

0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.320
<v Speaker 1>then have him penetrate and then have Lawrence play on

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:12.640
<v Speaker 1>the move. So the Saints are able to match up

0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Max Unger. Their center's pretty good. We need to see about,

0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:21.520
<v Speaker 1>like I say, the left tackle spot, so bush Rod

0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.880
<v Speaker 1>would be the guy that you know, he would be

0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:27.960
<v Speaker 1>the weakest of you know, Andrew's Pete as their guard too.

0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:31.440
<v Speaker 1>There's another They've got some really big inside guys and

0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.600
<v Speaker 1>that that's kind of the same plan that the Cowboys

0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:38.920
<v Speaker 1>had played throughout their you know time here is get

0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 1>the big inside guys. They have to keep the front

0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.720
<v Speaker 1>of the pocket cleaned for Drew Brees because he can't see.

0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.280
<v Speaker 1>He can't see over the line, so he has to

0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 1>move and they have to keep the front so he

0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:51.960
<v Speaker 1>could step up and make throws. That's that's the key,

0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:53.640
<v Speaker 1>and that's why a reference irving at the end of

0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.840
<v Speaker 1>the show yesterday knowing obviously he's not back to practice,

0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.040
<v Speaker 1>but a guy like that is. It could be a

0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.480
<v Speaker 1>huge havoc. Yeah if you win, if you win, Yeah,

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:05.680
<v Speaker 1>you win, and you get inside on on breeze. That's

0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 1>that's what you have to do. But it'll be tough.

0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:12.399
<v Speaker 1>Like I say, these these guys are really a very

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.960
<v Speaker 1>good offensive line. So you just do Si dough and

0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:18.160
<v Speaker 1>put him on the other side. Who's that, Lawrence? Yeah,

0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.080
<v Speaker 1>put him on the right side. They've done it before.

0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.080
<v Speaker 1>They have done that before. Let's see if they do that.

0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.119
<v Speaker 1>If you're banging your head against the wall on the

0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.720
<v Speaker 1>left side, go right side. How do you guys want

0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:28.879
<v Speaker 1>to play against Alvin Kamara? How do you want to

0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:35.520
<v Speaker 1>handle him? I'm just asking no plan. If you're interesting.

0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:38.560
<v Speaker 1>You know that ice skating thing that happened, the ice

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:45.879
<v Speaker 1>skating thing. Oh, Nancy Kerrigan entering the stadium, that's the

0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.480
<v Speaker 1>best way to handle him. They love your plan, by

0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:52.480
<v Speaker 1>the way, I mean, think about it. That's an outstanding plan.

0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Is one of the Harding reference on this show. Yeah,

0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.640
<v Speaker 1>we just did. If you don't know what Micky's talking about,

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 1>look up Tanya Harding. Yeah, and your fancy karag. In

0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.960
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety four, I was in Detroit. Four years ago.

0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I was in Detroit and that's where the championships were

0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:09.600
<v Speaker 1>being held. I was in my hotel room. We're geting

0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:11.920
<v Speaker 1>ready to play the Lions, and that came on the news.

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.760
<v Speaker 1>It was really that whole thing. Yeah, the championships were

0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.440
<v Speaker 1>in Detroit the Skating Championships. That it happened at that time,

0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:19.119
<v Speaker 1>and I was happened to be in the same city.

0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:21.760
<v Speaker 1>I had no idea what we were going to talk about.

0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Did you find that he's on it? He is on it?

0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:31.919
<v Speaker 1>He is on it? How do you handle? I mean,

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:34.720
<v Speaker 1>he's impossible. You know what we need to do. We're

<v Speaker 1>And did you get in the Christmas spirit to holiday

0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:45.159
<v Speaker 1>spirit just walking through the star? Actually last night I

0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:47.920
<v Speaker 1>did when I was going and the lights were on,

0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:50.119
<v Speaker 1>the blue lights were on the tree, and I was

0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:51.760
<v Speaker 1>getting ready to take a picture, and I said, oh,

0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll see it tomorrow by the way he do, y'all,

0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:01.040
<v Speaker 1>how do you feel about that? I'm guaranteed tomorrow. God

0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:04.800
<v Speaker 1>the star, that is the word. Place where blue Christmas

0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:08.159
<v Speaker 1>lights work, you know, Oh, no, the perfect they do it.

0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:10.359
<v Speaker 1>If you come out, I mean they've got the whole

0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:13.280
<v Speaker 1>the toast Titus Plaza looks great. I'm not a fan

0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:16.320
<v Speaker 1>of blue Christmas lights when it's when it's in a neighborhood.

0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Were filled with red and and whatever. You call it

0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:22.520
<v Speaker 1>a little different out there, don't you, Bill Not? Not

0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:24.639
<v Speaker 1>when you're like my neighbor and you stick up like

0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:28.200
<v Speaker 1>a sore thumb with the ugly blue Christmas lights. Have you?

0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever walked up to your neighbor and said

0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:31.639
<v Speaker 1>those are awful way? But every time I well, it's

0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:34.680
<v Speaker 1>actually seriously, it's actually it's actually a street over for

0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:36.880
<v Speaker 1>me it's in our neighborhood, but it's a street over

0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:40.920
<v Speaker 1>and every time I'd drive by, I say, that is

0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:43.080
<v Speaker 1>so ugly. Do you want to stop? I want to

0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to stop and change. You'recome an opposing guy.

0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Why don't you just get out and do something about it?

0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:50.399
<v Speaker 1>Is he just a monster cowboy fan? What's the reason?

0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:53.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what. No, because they're ugly lights. They're

0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:56.520
<v Speaker 1>the dark blue ones, right, yeah, and they're just not good.

0:22:57.280 --> 0:22:59.320
<v Speaker 1>We have a family on our on our block that

0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:01.440
<v Speaker 1>they would put up those blue lights, and for some

0:23:01.600 --> 0:23:05.639
<v Speaker 1>reason to me, they were kind of depressing. Let me

0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:07.520
<v Speaker 1>ask you this, but I may you think of a

0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:11.920
<v Speaker 1>funeral home rue and white. No, they're just utterly blue. No, no, no,

0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:14.159
<v Speaker 1>they're no white. There's no white. There might be a

0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Jewish family putting up lights. Okay, okay, get back back,

0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:22.840
<v Speaker 1>everything says. My point is I was like that for

0:23:22.920 --> 0:23:27.520
<v Speaker 1>the boy. Yeah. My point is they're great out here.

0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I love the blue. I love the blue Christmas. Yeah,

0:23:32.000 --> 0:23:35.800
<v Speaker 1>and it's not doesn't make for a blue Christmas. Sometimes

0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:40.040
<v Speaker 1>families and blue lights and well, I should tell you

0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:45.760
<v Speaker 1>in my neighborhood that wasn't experience. And so you wanted

0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:48.200
<v Speaker 1>me to walk into that. I just wanted to see

0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:56.000
<v Speaker 1>where you're going to go with okay, host tomorrow. If

0:23:56.040 --> 0:23:59.239
<v Speaker 1>we had twenty two houses on our on our block, oh,

0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:02.719
<v Speaker 1>here we go, twenty of them, people will either polish

0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:05.600
<v Speaker 1>or ITALI. There you go, there you go? All right?

0:24:06.560 --> 0:24:12.080
<v Speaker 1>All right, yeah, yeah, tell us how you'd handle Alvin Kamara.

0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Alvin and the Chipmunks Mickey will tell you he's their

0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:18.480
<v Speaker 1>second leading receiver, is what he'll tell you all about

0:24:18.560 --> 0:24:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Alvin Kamara. And when you watch Alvin Kamara play, you

0:24:21.640 --> 0:24:24.400
<v Speaker 1>know you, I think as great as he is as

0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:28.520
<v Speaker 1>a runner, is he's just as great as a pass catcher.

0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:30.719
<v Speaker 1>It's very obvious by the numbers. It's very obvious by

0:24:30.720 --> 0:24:33.440
<v Speaker 1>the way the Saints use him. I think you have

0:24:33.600 --> 0:24:35.920
<v Speaker 1>to treat Alvin Kamara differently. I think this is like

0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:37.680
<v Speaker 1>when you start talking about how do you play guys

0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:40.480
<v Speaker 1>like Zach Ernst, those guys the tight ends, we talk about, oh,

0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:43.359
<v Speaker 1>safeties and this, that you treat like a wide receiver.

0:24:43.480 --> 0:24:46.600
<v Speaker 1>I think the Cowboys have to treat Alvin Kamara like

0:24:46.640 --> 0:24:48.400
<v Speaker 1>a wide receiver. And I'll tell you how they treat

0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:51.160
<v Speaker 1>him like a wide receiver. We haven't seen very much

0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:54.520
<v Speaker 1>of them playing dime package stuff. We haven't. I mean

0:24:54.760 --> 0:24:58.080
<v Speaker 1>it's been primarily, you know, a lot of single high stuff,

0:24:58.080 --> 0:24:59.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of man underneath, but it's been a lot

0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:02.520
<v Speaker 1>of of Anthony Brown. I think this is a game

0:25:02.600 --> 0:25:05.800
<v Speaker 1>where you take that, maybe take the extra rusher off

0:25:05.840 --> 0:25:08.760
<v Speaker 1>the field, or take the linebacker off the field. We

0:25:08.840 --> 0:25:11.520
<v Speaker 1>talked about three man line. Mickey's right about that. I

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:13.159
<v Speaker 1>think you have to play that way. I think you

0:25:13.280 --> 0:25:16.040
<v Speaker 1>have to treat Alvin Kamaro like a wide receiver. I

0:25:16.160 --> 0:25:18.800
<v Speaker 1>would not be one bit surprised. And then if it

0:25:18.960 --> 0:25:21.600
<v Speaker 1>was me just looking at it, I would say I

0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:24.080
<v Speaker 1>would put Jordan Lewis on Alvin Kamara. I would have

0:25:24.119 --> 0:25:26.159
<v Speaker 1>him cover him out of the backfield. If they put

0:25:26.280 --> 0:25:27.959
<v Speaker 1>him in the slot, you got a match up there.

0:25:28.000 --> 0:25:29.880
<v Speaker 1>If they put him wide, you got a match up there.

0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:32.000
<v Speaker 1>But I'm not saying you could probably do it every

0:25:32.040 --> 0:25:33.879
<v Speaker 1>single down. I think you're gonna have to find a

0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:36.960
<v Speaker 1>way to get linebackers involved in stuff. But if it

0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:40.959
<v Speaker 1>comes down to crucial down in distant situations, I'm treating

0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Alvin Kamara like he's like he's their second best wide

0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:47.560
<v Speaker 1>receiver behind Thomas. Concerning they've got all these other guys.

0:25:47.600 --> 0:25:51.040
<v Speaker 1>They throw touchdown passes to treat him like a wide receiver,

0:25:51.240 --> 0:25:54.320
<v Speaker 1>cover him like a wide receiver, use your dime player

0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:56.480
<v Speaker 1>to cover him. Well, I think that's a plan because

0:25:56.480 --> 0:25:58.159
<v Speaker 1>they do treat him like a wide receiver. He's not

0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:01.480
<v Speaker 1>just a bailout. Let's throw the screen to him, right,

0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:04.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, beat the blitz kept guy. I mean he is.

0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:06.680
<v Speaker 1>He is their offense in a lot of ways. Uh

0:26:07.200 --> 0:26:11.399
<v Speaker 1>and Michael Thomas as well. But that's that's interesting. I mean,

0:26:11.560 --> 0:26:14.000
<v Speaker 1>have you seen other teams do that? No, not really.

0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I just to me, I think it's I think it's

0:26:16.680 --> 0:26:21.080
<v Speaker 1>one of those plans where I'm gonna try something unconventional

0:26:21.440 --> 0:26:25.080
<v Speaker 1>and hope that it works. You know, I'm gonna be

0:26:25.240 --> 0:26:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Fritz Schermer back in the day and play big Nickel,

0:26:27.560 --> 0:26:30.080
<v Speaker 1>and you know I'm gonna do things. I'm not going

0:26:30.119 --> 0:26:32.160
<v Speaker 1>to give him the same look over and over again.

0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:34.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you know Kamar sees his shares of safeties

0:26:34.680 --> 0:26:37.840
<v Speaker 1>and linebackers and he just eats them alive. I just

0:26:37.960 --> 0:26:40.760
<v Speaker 1>think you have to They use him so many different

0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:42.840
<v Speaker 1>ways in the passing game, and I think you have

0:26:43.040 --> 0:26:46.120
<v Speaker 1>to treat him like he's He's a big weapon for them.

0:26:46.400 --> 0:26:49.719
<v Speaker 1>And if you take your best cover guys and put

0:26:49.840 --> 0:26:52.399
<v Speaker 1>him on there, on his ability to stop him from

0:26:52.440 --> 0:26:55.879
<v Speaker 1>catching the football, I think that's the you know, I

0:26:55.920 --> 0:26:59.440
<v Speaker 1>would rather die that death than die the death of

0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:02.120
<v Speaker 1>trying to cover him. Play him in a way where

0:27:02.200 --> 0:27:06.040
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna have eight catches for eighty yards and two

0:27:06.040 --> 0:27:08.560
<v Speaker 1>of them are touchdowns. I just I don't think I

0:27:08.680 --> 0:27:11.920
<v Speaker 1>can play that way. Plus, if you zone him, you

0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:15.639
<v Speaker 1>get him in space. Good night. Trying to tackle him

0:27:15.640 --> 0:27:18.040
<v Speaker 1>good night if he catches the ball. And Jordan Lewis

0:27:18.119 --> 0:27:20.200
<v Speaker 1>might not be the best answer for tackling. But I'm

0:27:20.200 --> 0:27:23.840
<v Speaker 1>thinking about I'm thinking about size for size, and I'm

0:27:23.880 --> 0:27:26.920
<v Speaker 1>thinking about coverability for guy who can make plays. Yeah,

0:27:27.200 --> 0:27:28.440
<v Speaker 1>that was the one thing I thought of when you

0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:31.720
<v Speaker 1>mentioned his name, is that Jordan's like Buck ninety five.

0:27:31.840 --> 0:27:35.360
<v Speaker 1>He's kind of a slender player. But guy, yeah try,

0:27:35.440 --> 0:27:37.480
<v Speaker 1>you know. I mean, if he can hang on, people

0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:39.480
<v Speaker 1>get to him, that kind of thing. But I just

0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:41.760
<v Speaker 1>don't think you could play Alvin Kamar straight up and

0:27:41.840 --> 0:27:44.119
<v Speaker 1>expect to have good things happen. Well, let's put this

0:27:44.240 --> 0:27:47.560
<v Speaker 1>in perspective. Michael Thomas is their leading receiver a matter

0:27:47.560 --> 0:27:50.359
<v Speaker 1>of fact, the second leading receiver in the NFL with

0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:55.480
<v Speaker 1>eighty six catches for a thousand eighty yards. Already, their

0:27:55.600 --> 0:28:00.920
<v Speaker 1>second leading receiver is Elvin Kamar with fifties seven catches

0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:05.600
<v Speaker 1>and four touchdowns. Yeah, the Cowboys leading receiver is Ezekiel

0:28:05.680 --> 0:28:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Elliott with forty seven catches. So that kind of gives

0:28:09.520 --> 0:28:12.200
<v Speaker 1>you an idea of how much they lean on him,

0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:15.399
<v Speaker 1>because if I remember correctly, this last game, it was

0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:18.760
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of rookies. Yea at the rest of the

0:28:18.800 --> 0:28:22.160
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers, right, four undrafted guys that they had in there. Yeah,

0:28:22.240 --> 0:28:25.360
<v Speaker 1>scored four touchdowns, I think, yeah, but yeah, but yeah,

0:28:25.400 --> 0:28:27.920
<v Speaker 1>when you talk about good, we talk about focal points. Yeah,

0:28:28.000 --> 0:28:32.280
<v Speaker 1>it's those two guys for mister Breeze. So they better

0:28:32.560 --> 0:28:35.760
<v Speaker 1>make sure that Drew Brees is not standing in the

0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:38.480
<v Speaker 1>pocket with his arm up in the air and taking

0:28:38.560 --> 0:28:42.000
<v Speaker 1>all these little baby steps waiting, waiting, waiting, and then

0:28:42.360 --> 0:28:46.480
<v Speaker 1>throwing somebody that's wide open. They better get in his face.

0:28:47.000 --> 0:28:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they can get two tall Jones to play one game.

0:28:49.720 --> 0:28:53.520
<v Speaker 1>What do you think we mentioned that yesterday? I like

0:28:54.400 --> 0:28:58.360
<v Speaker 1>so much. I repeated the run pass mix for the

0:28:58.520 --> 0:29:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Saints pretty balanced. The well, you know, look, you look

0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:07.320
<v Speaker 1>at it statistically, and the Saints have are the second

0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:12.160
<v Speaker 1>most rushing attempts in the league right and now on

0:29:12.280 --> 0:29:18.280
<v Speaker 1>the on the contrary, their defense, opposing teams have the

0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:22.040
<v Speaker 1>fewest rushing attempts against them play behind exactly. And so

0:29:22.240 --> 0:29:27.680
<v Speaker 1>my question is score stat skewed or when the game

0:29:27.800 --> 0:29:30.280
<v Speaker 1>is on the line, how much are they a run

0:29:30.440 --> 0:29:33.680
<v Speaker 1>past fifty fifty mix or how close to a fifty

0:29:33.760 --> 0:29:37.360
<v Speaker 1>fifty mix or is that stat skewed because they are

0:29:37.440 --> 0:29:39.360
<v Speaker 1>ahead and they're just running the ball late in the

0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:41.320
<v Speaker 1>game and they add to their rushing total. And one

0:29:41.320 --> 0:29:43.400
<v Speaker 1>of the reasons I asked that is their yards per

0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:46.360
<v Speaker 1>attempt rushing is twentieth in the league. Yeah, I think

0:29:46.440 --> 0:29:49.240
<v Speaker 1>that it's more about them trying to really balance their team.

0:29:49.560 --> 0:29:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I really do. And I don't think it but that

0:29:52.000 --> 0:29:54.360
<v Speaker 1>you're right though, they get a lead and they force you,

0:29:54.480 --> 0:29:56.719
<v Speaker 1>they make you one dimensional by the way they play offense.

0:29:57.160 --> 0:29:59.640
<v Speaker 1>You guys covered a Super Bowl team here, several Super

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Bowl teams that threw early and ram late, right, And

0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that's really the game plan that Sean Payton

0:30:05.680 --> 0:30:07.640
<v Speaker 1>would like to play with. I mean, they haven't had

0:30:08.240 --> 0:30:10.800
<v Speaker 1>the success they've had some games, so they've just given

0:30:10.880 --> 0:30:13.520
<v Speaker 1>up and trying to run the clock out. But you know,

0:30:13.840 --> 0:30:16.080
<v Speaker 1>I think if if this New Orleans Saints had to

0:30:16.160 --> 0:30:18.680
<v Speaker 1>go into a game and run the football, I think

0:30:18.720 --> 0:30:20.600
<v Speaker 1>they damn will could go in there and run the football,

0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:22.520
<v Speaker 1>especially with that offensive line that they have. If you

0:30:22.600 --> 0:30:25.320
<v Speaker 1>look at the Thanksgiving game against Atlanta the other night,

0:30:25.640 --> 0:30:28.720
<v Speaker 1>they tried to establish ingram early on the ground first

0:30:28.800 --> 0:30:31.320
<v Speaker 1>drive of the game and set it up that way.

0:30:31.520 --> 0:30:34.400
<v Speaker 1>They I mean, they they try to be fifty fifty

0:30:34.440 --> 0:30:37.000
<v Speaker 1>in a way. Yeah, they really do. Yeah, and they've

0:30:37.040 --> 0:30:38.720
<v Speaker 1>got two backs who can get it done, and they've

0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:42.320
<v Speaker 1>got an offensive line that gives them holes. But again,

0:30:42.520 --> 0:30:45.920
<v Speaker 1>it does go back to Breeze in that passing game

0:30:46.040 --> 0:30:49.080
<v Speaker 1>and setting up guys for yards after the catch. You know,

0:30:49.200 --> 0:30:52.560
<v Speaker 1>he's extremely accurate. He's completing seventy six percent of his passes,

0:30:52.640 --> 0:30:55.120
<v Speaker 1>and they're not you know, they're an explosive offense, but

0:30:55.200 --> 0:30:57.320
<v Speaker 1>they're not just running a bunch of nine routes either.

0:30:57.480 --> 0:31:01.720
<v Speaker 1>That's ten percent more than the next game. Next guy. Yeah, well,

0:31:01.720 --> 0:31:04.960
<v Speaker 1>they've always been a kind of a guy. Actually, it's

0:31:05.040 --> 0:31:09.120
<v Speaker 1>his quarterback rating. It's ten points higher than the next person. Yeah.

0:31:09.520 --> 0:31:12.200
<v Speaker 1>But seventy six percent. That's going to set a record

0:31:14.640 --> 0:31:16.960
<v Speaker 1>this day and age. Yeah, like you'd probably see more

0:31:17.000 --> 0:31:19.080
<v Speaker 1>of that, but you know it. Guess what over the

0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:23.120
<v Speaker 1>last four games, Dak has completed seventy percent of his passes.

0:31:23.240 --> 0:31:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Sure last four games? How has his team been defensively? Where?

0:31:28.440 --> 0:31:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Where's your biggest concern? Is your biggest concern? Third down?

0:31:32.560 --> 0:31:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Red zone? Mental mistakes? Where's your biggest concern when you

0:31:37.000 --> 0:31:40.960
<v Speaker 1>have to defend the Saints? Oh? Defend them? Yeah, defend them? What?

0:31:41.120 --> 0:31:43.400
<v Speaker 1>What are you worried about the most? You worried about

0:31:43.440 --> 0:31:45.520
<v Speaker 1>your third down defense? Are you worried about your red

0:31:45.640 --> 0:31:49.080
<v Speaker 1>zone defense? Are you worried about them just making you

0:31:49.640 --> 0:31:52.760
<v Speaker 1>the pace that you have to play at to defend

0:31:52.880 --> 0:31:56.320
<v Speaker 1>them too difficult? You know, I'm making them sound like

0:31:56.440 --> 0:31:59.560
<v Speaker 1>they're the Saint Louis Rams of nineteen ninety nine. But

0:32:00.040 --> 0:32:03.080
<v Speaker 1>they put up number they're putting up those kind of Yeah,

0:32:03.120 --> 0:32:05.880
<v Speaker 1>they're putting up crazy numbers. But if you're the Cowboys,

0:32:06.040 --> 0:32:11.040
<v Speaker 1>what's the one area that you can't afford a breakdown? In? Uh?

0:32:12.640 --> 0:32:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Run defense? So you're saying if Camara, if they get

0:32:15.960 --> 0:32:18.440
<v Speaker 1>it going with with those two guys, that it's gonna

0:32:18.440 --> 0:32:23.240
<v Speaker 1>be hard to stop them offensively, yes, because third downs

0:32:23.320 --> 0:32:25.640
<v Speaker 1>not going to be very big if they're running the ball. Well,

0:32:25.840 --> 0:32:27.320
<v Speaker 1>I remember that game we went to Gona, had like

0:32:27.440 --> 0:32:31.280
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight first downs that game at the Superdome. That's

0:32:31.320 --> 0:32:33.720
<v Speaker 1>the set records there. Yeah, that that that is the

0:32:33.920 --> 0:32:36.840
<v Speaker 1>worst I've ever been a part of a team. Being

0:32:36.880 --> 0:32:38.880
<v Speaker 1>a part of a team and watching that, that was

0:32:39.640 --> 0:32:42.000
<v Speaker 1>that was as disheartening as I you know, they were

0:32:42.040 --> 0:32:44.600
<v Speaker 1>watching ten yards of play, I think. Yeah, it's funny

0:32:44.640 --> 0:32:46.600
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned first downs. I was just looking at their

0:32:46.640 --> 0:32:49.920
<v Speaker 1>first downs. Yeah, and they've got two hundred eighty two

0:32:50.000 --> 0:32:52.920
<v Speaker 1>first downs on the season. The Cowboys have two hundred eleven.

0:32:53.400 --> 0:32:56.240
<v Speaker 1>And I was trying to figure out, okay, kind of

0:32:56.280 --> 0:33:00.840
<v Speaker 1>getting engage statistically about their past run. They have one

0:33:00.920 --> 0:33:04.160
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty nine first downs passing ninety nine rushing.

0:33:04.640 --> 0:33:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Dallas has one hundred eleven passing and eighty four rushing. Yeah,

0:33:10.000 --> 0:33:13.920
<v Speaker 1>it's a much closer, right mix there. So what's their

0:33:14.200 --> 0:33:16.240
<v Speaker 1>third down conversion for someone? I don't have it in

0:33:16.320 --> 0:33:18.720
<v Speaker 1>front of me. Well, you have the stats there. Well,

0:33:18.760 --> 0:33:21.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't have that stat here. Oh wait, I got it.

0:33:22.400 --> 0:33:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I just you know, I worry about them. I worry

0:33:24.640 --> 0:33:30.240
<v Speaker 1>about Dallas. We're losing receivers and routes, the confusing and

0:33:30.320 --> 0:33:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Dallas has played pretty well, not giving up the big plays.

0:33:33.440 --> 0:33:38.200
<v Speaker 1>But I just worry about the pressure that this this

0:33:38.360 --> 0:33:41.160
<v Speaker 1>group puts on you offensively, when you have to deal

0:33:41.200 --> 0:33:43.560
<v Speaker 1>with running backs, you have to deal with some tight

0:33:43.640 --> 0:33:45.920
<v Speaker 1>ends that can actually catch, and you have to deal

0:33:46.000 --> 0:33:49.200
<v Speaker 1>with Thomas and those guys running rout See. You know,

0:33:49.240 --> 0:33:50.640
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, you make a stop, you make

0:33:50.680 --> 0:33:52.040
<v Speaker 1>a stop in the next you know, it's, oh, it's

0:33:52.080 --> 0:33:54.560
<v Speaker 1>big play, and then okay, then you don't make a stop.

0:33:54.600 --> 0:33:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Now it's a big play, big play, and you know

0:33:56.400 --> 0:33:59.880
<v Speaker 1>you're kind of you're just you just never are comfortable

0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:02.520
<v Speaker 1>playing these guys. So this is what I was afraid of.

0:34:02.640 --> 0:34:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Their third down conversion percentage is forty seven percent. Yeah,

0:34:07.160 --> 0:34:10.279
<v Speaker 1>that's almost fifty. Well, the Atlanta Falcons were high, the

0:34:10.360 --> 0:34:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta Falcons when the when the Cowboys played the Falcons,

0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:15.480
<v Speaker 1>the Falcons were I think leading the league at fifty

0:34:15.520 --> 0:34:18.880
<v Speaker 1>percent or you know, damn near fifty percent. And you

0:34:18.960 --> 0:34:21.919
<v Speaker 1>know that's hey getting stops in this game. I don't

0:34:21.960 --> 0:34:24.359
<v Speaker 1>care where they are getting. I mean, you make them

0:34:24.520 --> 0:34:27.960
<v Speaker 1>punt of course it's a win, but how many times

0:34:28.040 --> 0:34:31.040
<v Speaker 1>can you make them punt? That's yeah, that's you know,

0:34:31.280 --> 0:34:33.279
<v Speaker 1>both teams are gonna be looking at that and saying, okay,

0:34:33.600 --> 0:34:36.360
<v Speaker 1>you know Dallas is playing well offensively. You know, the

0:34:36.400 --> 0:34:38.279
<v Speaker 1>Saint you're probably thinking, how okay, how many times can

0:34:38.320 --> 0:34:40.960
<v Speaker 1>we make them punt? Last three games? Cowboys third down

0:34:41.000 --> 0:34:44.120
<v Speaker 1>percentage fifty percent? Yeah, first eight games I think it

0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:47.480
<v Speaker 1>was like, yeah, it's terrible. You know there was a

0:34:47.520 --> 0:34:50.160
<v Speaker 1>time there was twenty three I think at one time. Yeah,

0:34:50.160 --> 0:34:53.360
<v Speaker 1>it was terrible. You know, they're sustaining drives too, so,

0:34:53.800 --> 0:34:57.399
<v Speaker 1>but they haven't topped. They topped thirty points twice this year.

0:34:57.520 --> 0:34:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you this. If everybody wants to say

0:34:59.600 --> 0:35:03.160
<v Speaker 1>game land hold the ball, no way. I've seen teams

0:35:03.239 --> 0:35:05.480
<v Speaker 1>hold the ball lose two. We had a mail back

0:35:05.560 --> 0:35:08.000
<v Speaker 1>question about that this year. Yeah, you can't play keepaway

0:35:08.000 --> 0:35:11.040
<v Speaker 1>against teams. You can't play scared. You can't play keepaway.

0:35:11.040 --> 0:35:14.480
<v Speaker 1>If you don't score, you don't finish. If you don't finish,

0:35:14.719 --> 0:35:16.759
<v Speaker 1>you're not gonna win. I don't care how long you

0:35:16.840 --> 0:35:19.800
<v Speaker 1>hold the football. Jason Garrett was asked about that yesterday,

0:35:19.840 --> 0:35:22.480
<v Speaker 1>I think or two days ago, and he said, you

0:35:22.600 --> 0:35:25.560
<v Speaker 1>just gotta It doesn't matter how long the drive is.

0:35:25.760 --> 0:35:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Just sustain the drive, however long it takes to score points.

0:35:28.840 --> 0:35:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Touchdown now preferably could you get would you like to

0:35:32.200 --> 0:35:36.040
<v Speaker 1>have some seven minute drives and eight minute drives adown

0:35:36.840 --> 0:35:39.520
<v Speaker 1>as long as you score. But they'll take a ninety

0:35:39.560 --> 0:35:42.840
<v Speaker 1>yard touchdown past to Mary Cooper too. They've played eleven games.

0:35:43.600 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I guess how many punts they're averaging per game? Well,

0:35:47.000 --> 0:35:49.800
<v Speaker 1>just a point two, because Thomas moore Stead has twenty

0:35:49.840 --> 0:35:53.360
<v Speaker 1>four punts on the seas very good? Is that a

0:35:53.440 --> 0:35:56.560
<v Speaker 1>league low? So said twenty five? Yes, he does two points.

0:35:56.640 --> 0:36:00.160
<v Speaker 1>The averages over forty, the averages forty six and a

0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:02.400
<v Speaker 1>half yards of punt, but he doesn't qualify among the

0:36:02.480 --> 0:36:05.600
<v Speaker 1>league leaders because he doesn't have enough. I think four.

0:36:05.920 --> 0:36:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I think I think they've had three games where they

0:36:07.960 --> 0:36:10.319
<v Speaker 1>haven't punted. I think I'm right. He's got the best

0:36:10.400 --> 0:36:13.240
<v Speaker 1>job in the NFL. Well right now, he does doesn't

0:36:13.239 --> 0:36:16.239
<v Speaker 1>have to go out there. Yeah, I just I just

0:36:16.680 --> 0:36:19.520
<v Speaker 1>there's all right. Let me ask you this deep snapper two,

0:36:19.680 --> 0:36:24.000
<v Speaker 1>by the way, more concerned, more concerned? If should the

0:36:24.080 --> 0:36:26.959
<v Speaker 1>Saints be more concerned? What should the Saints be concerned about.

0:36:27.480 --> 0:36:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's focus on what they should be concerned about.

0:36:30.120 --> 0:36:33.760
<v Speaker 1>And they got like the number one rated rush defense

0:36:33.840 --> 0:36:38.440
<v Speaker 1>in the league. A lot of that is we've seen

0:36:39.080 --> 0:36:41.520
<v Speaker 1>what other team do we play this year that somebody

0:36:41.560 --> 0:36:44.960
<v Speaker 1>else try Troy same way? Yeah, exactly, they've got the

0:36:45.040 --> 0:36:47.759
<v Speaker 1>same problem that these other teams have had. What do

0:36:47.880 --> 0:36:49.960
<v Speaker 1>we yeah, same way? What do we do with a

0:36:50.040 --> 0:36:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Marii Cooper? You say the Saints? The Saints have to

0:36:53.719 --> 0:36:55.799
<v Speaker 1>So you pick your poison. You're gonna try and stop

0:36:55.960 --> 0:36:57.879
<v Speaker 1>Zeke from running the football, or you're gonna a you're

0:36:57.880 --> 0:37:02.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna stop a Marii Cooper? Right? Which one? You're Dennis Allen?

0:37:02.600 --> 0:37:05.200
<v Speaker 1>We have this discussion now. It seems the lovedy bells

0:37:05.239 --> 0:37:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Dennis Allen. Yeah, you know who their third leading rusher

0:37:08.400 --> 0:37:13.640
<v Speaker 1>is in attempts Hill. Yes, yeah, you get there's another problem. Yeah,

0:37:13.680 --> 0:37:17.440
<v Speaker 1>there's another problem. Thirty two one seventy four. Yeah, that's

0:37:17.480 --> 0:37:19.839
<v Speaker 1>a snap that reck snapped at him and raise it tough.

0:37:20.000 --> 0:37:24.080
<v Speaker 1>It's almost six yards. About the watch Minnesota game they

0:37:24.160 --> 0:37:26.920
<v Speaker 1>try to try. This is a great play. They threw it.

0:37:27.239 --> 0:37:29.520
<v Speaker 1>They had a reverse, they were going to run a

0:37:29.600 --> 0:37:31.560
<v Speaker 1>fourth and one. They were gonna run a toss going left,

0:37:31.640 --> 0:37:33.839
<v Speaker 1>but they tossed him the ball going back to the right,

0:37:34.480 --> 0:37:36.719
<v Speaker 1>and everybody's flowing to the left. But Drew Brees kind

0:37:36.719 --> 0:37:39.399
<v Speaker 1>of sneaks out and they're gonna throw him the ball.

0:37:39.480 --> 0:37:41.320
<v Speaker 1>On fourth and one, they're gonna try and throw a

0:37:41.440 --> 0:37:44.759
<v Speaker 1>throwback to you know. So Yeah, Sean Payne, he's been

0:37:44.760 --> 0:37:47.359
<v Speaker 1>a little cute there for that TV game. Get Ready,

0:37:49.120 --> 0:37:52.319
<v Speaker 1>No Cowboy, get ready. Yeah, he's gonna do something cute

0:37:52.400 --> 0:37:56.040
<v Speaker 1>this game. Get ready. Yeah. Yeah. Horace in Atlanta has

0:37:56.120 --> 0:38:00.279
<v Speaker 1>been holding Horace. You're on talking Cowboys rant. Thanks for

0:38:00.320 --> 0:38:04.480
<v Speaker 1>taking my call, guys. Yeah, I'm concerned mostly with them

0:38:05.200 --> 0:38:07.960
<v Speaker 1>throwing the ball steep and hitting our safeties. I mean,

0:38:08.000 --> 0:38:11.520
<v Speaker 1>we've given up big plays, especially against Seattle. Our safeties

0:38:11.520 --> 0:38:14.000
<v Speaker 1>have been exposed a couple of times. I think Brian

0:38:14.200 --> 0:38:18.000
<v Speaker 1>is right about trying to put in another corner or

0:38:18.080 --> 0:38:21.120
<v Speaker 1>something to cover Kamar, because I think he might expose Jalen.

0:38:21.160 --> 0:38:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Jalen has been good, don't get me wrong,

0:38:23.560 --> 0:38:25.520
<v Speaker 1>but he's not. He hasn't been as good as Vendor

0:38:25.560 --> 0:38:27.600
<v Speaker 1>as She's gotten lost a couple of times in games.

0:38:27.960 --> 0:38:30.200
<v Speaker 1>But the thing that I'm really concerned about mostly is

0:38:30.239 --> 0:38:32.560
<v Speaker 1>that it's going to come down to coaching. I don't

0:38:32.600 --> 0:38:35.960
<v Speaker 1>think that our coaching can stack up against theirs. And

0:38:36.040 --> 0:38:38.759
<v Speaker 1>I say that because I think that our team can

0:38:38.840 --> 0:38:40.600
<v Speaker 1>play with him. I think we have the talent. I

0:38:40.760 --> 0:38:43.200
<v Speaker 1>really don't expect and I heard you guys mentioned that

0:38:43.719 --> 0:38:48.719
<v Speaker 1>you're expecting Taco will be back. Look, Taco is is

0:38:48.840 --> 0:38:51.759
<v Speaker 1>not affecting the game. He got a sack because he

0:38:51.920 --> 0:38:54.120
<v Speaker 1>was unblocked, and he has one sack of the season,

0:38:54.200 --> 0:38:56.520
<v Speaker 1>so I don't expect him to play a big role.

0:38:56.640 --> 0:38:59.319
<v Speaker 1>But we need to Marcus Lawrence. I would much better

0:38:59.360 --> 0:39:03.680
<v Speaker 1>have David been playing than Taco. But I really think

0:39:03.800 --> 0:39:08.160
<v Speaker 1>that we are going to need uh better coaching. And

0:39:08.800 --> 0:39:11.040
<v Speaker 1>I think and the point I really wanted to make

0:39:11.080 --> 0:39:13.200
<v Speaker 1>was I wanted to ask you guys, at what point

0:39:13.239 --> 0:39:16.640
<v Speaker 1>will this front office and this staff realized that Dak

0:39:17.360 --> 0:39:20.880
<v Speaker 1>won't grow until you get him a great coach to

0:39:21.080 --> 0:39:24.600
<v Speaker 1>coach him. As far as I mean, I know, Brian,

0:39:24.680 --> 0:39:27.520
<v Speaker 1>you've been very critical of Dak over over the season,

0:39:27.600 --> 0:39:30.560
<v Speaker 1>and I know Nick Eatman has been as well, but

0:39:30.760 --> 0:39:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't and I think that's kind of unjustified because

0:39:33.360 --> 0:39:36.080
<v Speaker 1>he has been there on raw talent and not really

0:39:36.640 --> 0:39:40.000
<v Speaker 1>had the coaching that a lot of elite players get.

0:39:40.160 --> 0:39:43.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that they need to take the next step. Wondering,

0:39:44.760 --> 0:39:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm wondering when will he get that coaching? Yeah, boy,

0:39:50.160 --> 0:39:53.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm gonna say this, the last three

0:39:53.360 --> 0:39:57.879
<v Speaker 1>weeks not better offensively for DAK, better for coaching, better

0:39:58.000 --> 0:40:01.200
<v Speaker 1>for those things. I think, better all the line. I mean,

0:40:01.760 --> 0:40:05.160
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's been a blessing that unfortunately, you know,

0:40:05.360 --> 0:40:07.880
<v Speaker 1>the gentleman had to get hurt for them to put in,

0:40:10.840 --> 0:40:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah we lost. He must have taken too much time. Helo.

0:40:16.239 --> 0:40:17.919
<v Speaker 1>Is that who he's gonna say? Yeah, usually talk about

0:40:17.920 --> 0:40:20.440
<v Speaker 1>sue fel like guys made the difference. Yeah, he's I

0:40:20.480 --> 0:40:22.759
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I mean I have been very critical, but

0:40:22.920 --> 0:40:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I think though that you have to give these coaches

0:40:25.280 --> 0:40:27.480
<v Speaker 1>a little credit for what they've done in this winning streak.

0:40:27.520 --> 0:40:30.759
<v Speaker 1>Though I think the offense looks different, you know, I

0:40:30.800 --> 0:40:33.240
<v Speaker 1>think Mickey's been right. I mean, you get better players

0:40:33.280 --> 0:40:35.640
<v Speaker 1>around the guy. I'm not gonna sit there and hang

0:40:35.760 --> 0:40:40.319
<v Speaker 1>this one on on Kellen Moore, you know, and let's

0:40:40.760 --> 0:40:43.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, me and coaching low, low hanging fruit. You know,

0:40:44.480 --> 0:40:48.120
<v Speaker 1>that's if I just I think they've been more creative

0:40:48.360 --> 0:40:50.440
<v Speaker 1>with some of the stuff, the scheme stuff. They've had

0:40:50.520 --> 0:40:53.399
<v Speaker 1>better execution, done a better job of block, and they've

0:40:53.440 --> 0:40:55.520
<v Speaker 1>done a better job of catching the football, done a

0:40:55.600 --> 0:41:00.480
<v Speaker 1>better job of manipulating first downs, on third downs. You know,

0:41:00.560 --> 0:41:02.640
<v Speaker 1>they've done a better job in the red zone. You know,

0:41:02.680 --> 0:41:05.960
<v Speaker 1>they've just done a better job overall. You know how

0:41:06.000 --> 0:41:09.120
<v Speaker 1>many passes you think Drew Brees is thrown? Just take

0:41:09.160 --> 0:41:12.879
<v Speaker 1>a guess. Eleven games. I'm gonna say you averages thirty

0:41:13.360 --> 0:41:17.839
<v Speaker 1>thirty three, fifty six. Yeah, there you go. Now, I'll

0:41:17.840 --> 0:41:20.279
<v Speaker 1>take a guess how many times he's been sacked. I'm

0:41:20.280 --> 0:41:24.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna say he's been sacked eleven times. Anybody else that

0:41:24.239 --> 0:41:29.320
<v Speaker 1>sounds good? Head? Yeah, head? Yeah, all right. Now, So

0:41:29.880 --> 0:41:36.040
<v Speaker 1>is that coaching, that's that offensive line? He's playing awfully? Well,

0:41:36.080 --> 0:41:40.040
<v Speaker 1>they're doing well. And I bet Dak's and I know everybody's,

0:41:40.160 --> 0:41:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh he holds the ball too long? Yeah? What has

0:41:43.200 --> 0:41:46.839
<v Speaker 1>he been sacked? Like thirty two times? Most in the league.

0:41:47.480 --> 0:41:49.640
<v Speaker 1>It's up there, No, it's thirty six. It was thirty

0:41:49.680 --> 0:41:51.880
<v Speaker 1>two going into So we're now ahead of the giants

0:41:52.120 --> 0:41:54.839
<v Speaker 1>in Arizona and those people. I think it's right up there.

0:41:55.400 --> 0:41:57.359
<v Speaker 1>So he's been sacked. Looked like he was gonna get

0:41:57.400 --> 0:42:00.840
<v Speaker 1>some times the other day. Thirty eight times, yeah, thirty

0:42:00.920 --> 0:42:05.239
<v Speaker 1>eight all right, But I'd like to know what has

0:42:05.280 --> 0:42:08.520
<v Speaker 1>been the sack numbers the last three weeks? Is four

0:42:08.640 --> 0:42:11.560
<v Speaker 1>or four last week? So we average in four a game?

0:42:11.640 --> 0:42:14.879
<v Speaker 1>Is that what we're averaging? Four in the first half? Yeah,

0:42:14.960 --> 0:42:18.160
<v Speaker 1>last week and then zero the second talking and I'll

0:42:18.200 --> 0:42:23.799
<v Speaker 1>tell you, but I say five four two four five

0:42:23.840 --> 0:42:32.479
<v Speaker 1>against Tennessee four Philadelphia two Atlanta for Washington. So he's

0:42:32.560 --> 0:42:36.279
<v Speaker 1>playing well, But that's nine. That's fifteen sacks and four

0:42:36.400 --> 0:42:43.520
<v Speaker 1>games and four ten in eleven games. Right, all right,

0:42:43.640 --> 0:42:46.680
<v Speaker 1>we continue with more talking cowboys in just a moment.

0:42:46.800 --> 0:42:49.440
<v Speaker 1>If you're like me and you love I mean, if

0:42:49.480 --> 0:42:52.680
<v Speaker 1>you have a thing, then cutting the court's scary. But

0:42:52.719 --> 0:42:54.360

0:46:58.120 --> 0:47:00.399
<v Speaker 1>One quick thing about Miles and hey, he's a little

0:47:00.440 --> 0:47:02.000
<v Speaker 1>topical because he had a great game in that two

0:47:02.000 --> 0:47:03.920
<v Speaker 1>thousand and nine game they wanted New Orleans. There you go.

0:47:04.120 --> 0:47:06.279
<v Speaker 1>That drop is a product of he's such a nice guy.

0:47:06.680 --> 0:47:09.239
<v Speaker 1>He never wanted to say anything that would become like

0:47:09.360 --> 0:47:13.800
<v Speaker 1>a explosive headline, you know, because he just followed perfect

0:47:13.880 --> 0:47:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Jason Garrett player. Yeah, just wanted to you know, and

0:47:16.440 --> 0:47:22.360
<v Speaker 1>he would get kind of asked a loaded question. And anyway,

0:47:22.480 --> 0:47:24.560
<v Speaker 1>that's why the drop is so great. I thought, maybe

0:47:24.640 --> 0:47:27.520
<v Speaker 1>you remembered what the question? I don't. Did that? I don't,

0:47:27.960 --> 0:47:31.400
<v Speaker 1>but you know, are you frustrated with your targets? All

0:47:31.440 --> 0:47:33.480
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff. He would kind of brush it off.

0:47:33.600 --> 0:47:36.600
<v Speaker 1>By the way. I saw the Patrick Creton Legend show

0:47:36.920 --> 0:47:39.480
<v Speaker 1>last it was is that a production of us Okay,

0:47:39.640 --> 0:47:42.920
<v Speaker 1>did you were you now you have a hand. Okay.

0:47:43.280 --> 0:47:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I liked you know, Patrick Crayton was an undervalued player here.

0:47:47.440 --> 0:47:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I thought he had a good career here. In fact,

0:47:49.239 --> 0:47:51.120
<v Speaker 1>there was a sound bite from you on the show

0:47:51.640 --> 0:47:54.360
<v Speaker 1>basically saying that same thing. I like Patrick Craon And

0:47:54.400 --> 0:47:56.440
<v Speaker 1>guess what, you're gonna get to talk to him in

0:47:56.480 --> 0:47:59.080
<v Speaker 1>a week from Wednesday because he's gonna be on the

0:47:59.120 --> 0:48:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys legend. That's exactly all right. He came to Atlanta

0:48:04.000 --> 0:48:05.560
<v Speaker 1>for the game just as a fan had him on

0:48:05.600 --> 0:48:07.640
<v Speaker 1>the show. And yeah, that was a that was a

0:48:07.719 --> 0:48:10.680
<v Speaker 1>good piece on him. He gets remembered too much, I

0:48:10.760 --> 0:48:12.719
<v Speaker 1>think for the jud drop. Yeah, and that's what you

0:48:12.840 --> 0:48:15.080
<v Speaker 1>pointed out on the pace last night, that if we

0:48:15.239 --> 0:48:17.640
<v Speaker 1>aired on Fox Sports Southwest last night. But you know,

0:48:17.719 --> 0:48:20.320
<v Speaker 1>a seventh round pick who developed into a starting receiver

0:48:20.480 --> 0:48:23.200
<v Speaker 1>for this team, he had a good career, good career.

0:48:23.239 --> 0:48:26.040
<v Speaker 1>He did set your DVRs because that thing shows about

0:48:26.080 --> 0:48:28.759
<v Speaker 1>eleven or twelve times. Yeah. Yeah, and before we get

0:48:28.800 --> 0:48:30.520
<v Speaker 1>to the new good player and I and what I

0:48:30.640 --> 0:48:34.840
<v Speaker 1>liked about him was his he had a his attitude.

0:48:34.920 --> 0:48:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I just liked he was a tough guy. Those DeSoto

0:48:38.320 --> 0:48:41.640
<v Speaker 1>kids are tough guys and Um, you know he kind

0:48:41.680 --> 0:48:45.319
<v Speaker 1>of typified that and it came out of Northwest Oklahoma state,

0:48:45.760 --> 0:48:52.800
<v Speaker 1>right and made himself into an NFL player. All right. Um, turnovers, Okay,

0:48:53.520 --> 0:48:56.560
<v Speaker 1>the Saints the last nine games have turned it over

0:48:56.719 --> 0:49:00.279
<v Speaker 1>just five times. Okay, has a lot to do with

0:49:00.360 --> 0:49:03.400
<v Speaker 1>those ten sacks on the season that they've given up

0:49:03.520 --> 0:49:07.759
<v Speaker 1>only ten. That's where turnovers start in the pocket. Rod Marinelli,

0:49:08.160 --> 0:49:11.360
<v Speaker 1>that's him. Their first two games, they lost to Tampa

0:49:11.440 --> 0:49:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Bay in the season opener forty eight to forty. They

0:49:14.480 --> 0:49:16.680
<v Speaker 1>actually took a seven nothing lead in that game and

0:49:16.760 --> 0:49:21.640
<v Speaker 1>then got outscored by fitz Magic forty eight to seventeen

0:49:22.520 --> 0:49:24.800
<v Speaker 1>through the end of the third quarter and scored sixteen

0:49:24.840 --> 0:49:26.600
<v Speaker 1>and the fourth to make it look closer at forty

0:49:26.640 --> 0:49:28.719
<v Speaker 1>eight to four. See, this is what scares me even

0:49:28.800 --> 0:49:31.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, we talk about build the lead, double digit

0:49:31.400 --> 0:49:34.320
<v Speaker 1>leads and all that. The way this guy plays that,

0:49:34.560 --> 0:49:39.319
<v Speaker 1>that's I mean, yeah, you're sitting there thinking, okay, there's oh,

0:49:39.400 --> 0:49:41.759
<v Speaker 1>there's a minute twenty left though, cowboys got this one,

0:49:41.920 --> 0:49:45.640
<v Speaker 1>and you're thinking, when you played Drew Brees, it's man,

0:49:46.120 --> 0:49:49.200
<v Speaker 1>please look at their three zero's hit because you just

0:49:49.320 --> 0:49:52.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know, kind of like playing Rogers. Well, yeah, I

0:49:52.920 --> 0:49:56.479
<v Speaker 1>mean just like that's got a minute twelve on the clock.

0:49:56.600 --> 0:49:59.439
<v Speaker 1>That's I must playing these guys. I must. I hate

0:49:59.520 --> 0:50:03.440
<v Speaker 1>playing last year when we said, imagine they scored thirty

0:50:03.480 --> 0:50:05.719
<v Speaker 1>points in those games and they lost two of them

0:50:05.719 --> 0:50:09.040
<v Speaker 1>when they scored thirty, imagine scoring forty and getting beat

0:50:10.320 --> 0:50:14.560
<v Speaker 1>and what was it forty eight when they lost when

0:50:14.600 --> 0:50:17.680
<v Speaker 1>they lost the Denver Yeah, yeah, fifty one, forty eight.

0:50:18.400 --> 0:50:22.880
<v Speaker 1>He's got two interceptions, right right? Twenty nine touchdowns, two picks.

0:50:23.600 --> 0:50:26.759
<v Speaker 1>That's wrong, and how does that happen? I'm trying to think.

0:50:26.800 --> 0:50:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I saw one of the interceptions. I forgot who it

0:50:28.680 --> 0:50:31.560
<v Speaker 1>was against. I was watching, I was watching film. What

0:50:31.719 --> 0:50:33.520
<v Speaker 1>game do you have an interception in? Here? It just

0:50:33.640 --> 0:50:36.879
<v Speaker 1>recently was Atlanta? Did Atlanta pick him off last game?

0:50:36.880 --> 0:50:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I think it was. I'm sorry, I was like, I've

0:50:38.960 --> 0:50:42.000
<v Speaker 1>watched Atlanta Minnesota. I'm just trying to watch people that

0:50:42.160 --> 0:50:46.000
<v Speaker 1>might against Atlanta last game? Yeah, yeah, I just it's

0:50:46.080 --> 0:50:49.000
<v Speaker 1>it's it's hard to which is why they only got

0:50:49.080 --> 0:50:52.960
<v Speaker 1>thirty one points? Was the po because off? Let me

0:50:53.000 --> 0:50:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I see this? Are the Cowboys capable of playing a

0:50:55.680 --> 0:51:01.399
<v Speaker 1>perfect game? A perfect game? A perfect game? No, because

0:51:01.440 --> 0:51:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't think anybody is, and they're not. We sound

0:51:04.200 --> 0:51:06.480
<v Speaker 1>like we're making this team in that where's the Florida

0:51:06.560 --> 0:51:08.919
<v Speaker 1>lee on their helmet? They're play perfect games. We're making

0:51:08.960 --> 0:51:13.160
<v Speaker 1>that sound like that because almost perfect against Detroit. Weren't

0:51:13.160 --> 0:51:18.720
<v Speaker 1>they cowboys? But here's what happened. I don't go ahead.

0:51:19.120 --> 0:51:21.719
<v Speaker 1>Here's what can't happen. First in goal at the four

0:51:21.840 --> 0:51:24.120
<v Speaker 1>and end up with a field goal, which has happened

0:51:24.200 --> 0:51:27.160
<v Speaker 1>in two consecutive weeks. Got a cash in there. Yeah,

0:51:27.480 --> 0:51:29.719
<v Speaker 1>you can't turn it over, and you need to find

0:51:29.800 --> 0:51:31.439
<v Speaker 1>a way to get the ball from them. Now, maybe

0:51:31.480 --> 0:51:34.720
<v Speaker 1>it's not an interception. You said it starts in the pocket.

0:51:34.880 --> 0:51:36.719
<v Speaker 1>They had a couple I go back to this oh

0:51:36.840 --> 0:51:38.719
<v Speaker 1>nine game, Okay, but they this was a team that

0:51:38.760 --> 0:51:40.759
<v Speaker 1>was putting up thirty six points a game back then too.

0:51:40.840 --> 0:51:43.759
<v Speaker 1>They got two st sack strip fumbles against him. Then

0:51:44.160 --> 0:51:45.719
<v Speaker 1>that's how you're gonna get the ball from It's got

0:51:45.760 --> 0:51:48.320
<v Speaker 1>to be a d Law special in this game, probably undefeated.

0:51:48.400 --> 0:51:51.040
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna have to affect him that way because he's

0:51:51.040 --> 0:51:52.360
<v Speaker 1>not He's not going to hand it to you in

0:51:52.400 --> 0:51:55.320
<v Speaker 1>the past. Okay, Then what I'm asking them is, we

0:51:55.400 --> 0:51:57.840
<v Speaker 1>don't think they could play a perfect game. I mean,

0:51:58.040 --> 0:52:00.360
<v Speaker 1>let mean perfect in the way of, like Mickey says,

0:52:00.719 --> 0:52:03.840
<v Speaker 1>when you get down the red zone, score touchdowns, you know,

0:52:04.360 --> 0:52:08.239
<v Speaker 1>not give up huge chunk plays, get a turnover. Yeah,

0:52:08.360 --> 0:52:12.120
<v Speaker 1>plus not have a fifty yard kickoff return against you.

0:52:12.640 --> 0:52:15.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, last four games, I've looked it up yesterday,

0:52:16.080 --> 0:52:19.719
<v Speaker 1>they've had eight possessions first in goal and they've only

0:52:19.760 --> 0:52:22.920
<v Speaker 1>scored four touchdowns, only scored four times. The other were

0:52:23.080 --> 0:52:26.120
<v Speaker 1>field goals. That can't happen again, Mickey, that's a that's

0:52:26.160 --> 0:52:31.680
<v Speaker 1>a gut punch stat right there. Cannot happen the Saints

0:52:31.719 --> 0:52:33.839
<v Speaker 1>the last five games. You know me sacks they've given

0:52:33.920 --> 0:52:38.480
<v Speaker 1>up the last five games, which they've scored thirty forty five,

0:52:38.600 --> 0:52:41.080
<v Speaker 1>fifty one, forty eight and thirty one points to very

0:52:41.120 --> 0:52:45.000
<v Speaker 1>many two one one sack, And they went a four

0:52:45.040 --> 0:52:47.320
<v Speaker 1>game stretch without giving up a sack, and then Atlanta

0:52:47.400 --> 0:52:49.919
<v Speaker 1>got to them one time. Yeah, and Atlanta is really

0:52:49.960 --> 0:52:52.719
<v Speaker 1>not known for rushing the path, well except for last year,

0:52:52.800 --> 0:52:54.880
<v Speaker 1>but they didn't. Dallas held then the two Dallas you

0:52:54.960 --> 0:52:57.040
<v Speaker 1>give have two sacks against sim What does that tell you? Yeah,

0:52:57.280 --> 0:53:00.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, I just I think they put this team

0:53:00.800 --> 0:53:03.480
<v Speaker 1>put so much pressure on you. And I use the

0:53:03.560 --> 0:53:08.800
<v Speaker 1>word perfect, but in reality you you almost you can't

0:53:08.880 --> 0:53:13.360
<v Speaker 1>afford a muff punt or a holding penaly on a

0:53:13.440 --> 0:53:16.480
<v Speaker 1>twelve yard run. You're not talking about Dak going Yeah,

0:53:16.560 --> 0:53:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about Yeah, I'm not talking about Philip Rivers

0:53:19.120 --> 0:53:21.960
<v Speaker 1>numbers twenty five and twenty five. I can't hand the

0:53:22.040 --> 0:53:25.880
<v Speaker 1>next yeah, yeah, yeah, you give them yeah, you you

0:53:26.120 --> 0:53:29.320
<v Speaker 1>fumble the ball, you get a holding call on a screen.

0:53:30.080 --> 0:53:32.000
<v Speaker 1>You know you have a you get off the field

0:53:32.040 --> 0:53:34.960
<v Speaker 1>on third down, but Anthony Brown gets called for illegal

0:53:35.040 --> 0:53:37.640
<v Speaker 1>hands the face. You can't have a sloppy game, No,

0:53:38.160 --> 0:53:41.719
<v Speaker 1>you can't. That's how you you really they this team

0:53:41.800 --> 0:53:43.960
<v Speaker 1>puts like I keep saying this, they put so much

0:53:44.080 --> 0:53:47.319
<v Speaker 1>pressure on you not to make a mistake, and they

0:53:47.400 --> 0:53:49.520
<v Speaker 1>force you in the mistakes. That's why if you win

0:53:49.640 --> 0:53:52.279
<v Speaker 1>the toss, you better take the ball. Do not give

0:53:52.360 --> 0:53:55.040
<v Speaker 1>them the ball? I think so, don't give them any

0:53:55.120 --> 0:54:00.840
<v Speaker 1>So you don't. You don't defer because a position to you,

0:54:02.120 --> 0:54:03.880
<v Speaker 1>you want to be down seven nothing, you know what

0:54:03.960 --> 0:54:05.640
<v Speaker 1>the you know what you want? Do you want to

0:54:05.760 --> 0:54:09.200
<v Speaker 1>take the chance of having them have a possession, a

0:54:09.320 --> 0:54:11.600
<v Speaker 1>scoring possession At the end of the first half, and

0:54:11.760 --> 0:54:14.160
<v Speaker 1>a scoring possession at the beginning of the second half

0:54:14.200 --> 0:54:16.239
<v Speaker 1>of the first half. Well, but they've got to do

0:54:16.280 --> 0:54:18.480
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good job of managing that clock. Well, then

0:54:18.520 --> 0:54:20.360
<v Speaker 1>they can have the ball at the beginning of the

0:54:20.440 --> 0:54:22.680
<v Speaker 1>game at the end of the half. Do you know

0:54:22.719 --> 0:54:25.520
<v Speaker 1>what the number is for number of deferred to the

0:54:25.640 --> 0:54:27.720
<v Speaker 1>second half? So I heard this, I heard the stat

0:54:27.880 --> 0:54:29.640
<v Speaker 1>You know what the number is now for coaches that

0:54:31.520 --> 0:54:36.279
<v Speaker 1>the percentages on that eighty ninety five percent of the

0:54:36.360 --> 0:54:40.279
<v Speaker 1>coaches in the league were now deferring the second They

0:54:40.280 --> 0:54:43.879
<v Speaker 1>can play the five percent rule. I get them, absolutely,

0:54:44.200 --> 0:54:47.640
<v Speaker 1>you got faith in this defense to hold them at

0:54:47.760 --> 0:54:50.359
<v Speaker 1>thirty or under. I mean, do you think that they

0:54:50.440 --> 0:54:52.160
<v Speaker 1>hold them under thirty? They got a shot to win

0:54:52.200 --> 0:54:55.319
<v Speaker 1>this degree. I looked it up. I mean, this is stats, right.

0:54:55.680 --> 0:54:59.279
<v Speaker 1>There's two teams that are statistically are better defenses that

0:54:59.360 --> 0:55:02.200
<v Speaker 1>they've Saints have played. That's it. Minnesota one of them.

0:55:02.200 --> 0:55:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota and Baltimore leads the league and they I think

0:55:05.040 --> 0:55:08.520
<v Speaker 1>it was thirty and twenty four points allowed, respectively. If

0:55:08.560 --> 0:55:12.160
<v Speaker 1>you can in that area, you know, and the way

0:55:12.239 --> 0:55:14.959
<v Speaker 1>your offense is playing, I think you got a chance. Okay,

0:55:15.000 --> 0:55:18.799
<v Speaker 1>here's here's the stat I want if if I take

0:55:18.880 --> 0:55:21.840
<v Speaker 1>the ball first, I want to know who gets the

0:55:21.920 --> 0:55:28.160
<v Speaker 1>most possessions in a game. Okay, somebody go find that

0:55:28.400 --> 0:55:33.680
<v Speaker 1>next gen folks. Yeah, Art, get off my lawn. I

0:55:33.880 --> 0:55:36.799
<v Speaker 1>take the ball first in a game, do I end

0:55:36.880 --> 0:55:39.280
<v Speaker 1>up with more possessions or do they come out equal?

0:55:39.560 --> 0:55:42.040
<v Speaker 1>It's like tic tac toe who goes for easy wins?

0:55:46.040 --> 0:55:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh, Douglas Douglass drop. That was very aggressive, very violent,

0:55:52.440 --> 0:55:56.200
<v Speaker 1>almost two. You know, I you want to bet your

0:55:56.280 --> 0:56:00.360
<v Speaker 1>salary on making that play call? You got one? Do

0:56:00.440 --> 0:56:01.640
<v Speaker 1>you play with the home Do you try with the

0:56:01.680 --> 0:56:03.960
<v Speaker 1>home defense though Mickey to get the stop? Yeah? Do

0:56:04.040 --> 0:56:06.759
<v Speaker 1>you play? You play with the noise factor? Saw I

0:56:06.800 --> 0:56:09.719
<v Speaker 1>saw noise affect a game the other day at Kyle Field.

0:56:09.719 --> 0:56:11.920
<v Speaker 1>I saw noise affect a game. I'm hopeful that they

0:56:11.960 --> 0:56:14.240
<v Speaker 1>can now. The problem is you're in a fifty fifty stadium,

0:56:14.320 --> 0:56:18.040
<v Speaker 1>likely this Thursday night. You're likely you're like Mickey, might

0:56:18.080 --> 0:56:20.640
<v Speaker 1>be right taking the ball. It might not matter because

0:56:20.680 --> 0:56:22.839
<v Speaker 1>those Saints fans might be just as loud as your

0:56:22.920 --> 0:56:25.239
<v Speaker 1>fans when you have the ball, and you know what,

0:56:25.719 --> 0:56:31.239
<v Speaker 1>the the away team they don't get in their seats late, Yeah,

0:56:31.239 --> 0:56:33.960
<v Speaker 1>because they got no place to go usually tailgate, right,

0:56:34.120 --> 0:56:36.640
<v Speaker 1>they're anxious to If you look at the Cowboys when

0:56:36.640 --> 0:56:40.200
<v Speaker 1>they're on the road, their fans are in the stadium. First. Yeah,

0:56:41.680 --> 0:56:44.480
<v Speaker 1>just saying this will be a fifty fifty. Not give

0:56:44.560 --> 0:56:47.040
<v Speaker 1>them the ball first? Why wouldn't you put yourself behind

0:56:47.160 --> 0:56:50.960
<v Speaker 1>seven to nothing because in the second half and they

0:56:51.040 --> 0:56:53.839
<v Speaker 1>get they get a two minute drive before the half,

0:56:53.880 --> 0:56:56.080
<v Speaker 1>and then they got that in their back. If I

0:56:56.160 --> 0:56:59.480
<v Speaker 1>get a two minute drive, that would be nice. That

0:56:59.520 --> 0:57:02.000
<v Speaker 1>means the what's the what's the wind streak? When they're deferring,

0:57:02.480 --> 0:57:06.000
<v Speaker 1>they're two, they're they're the last three. They've had two defers.

0:57:06.120 --> 0:57:12.919
<v Speaker 1>They've deferred rights Philadelphia, Atlanta they deferred. They deferred both.

0:57:13.280 --> 0:57:15.400
<v Speaker 1>They weren't playing the Saints. I put the confidence in

0:57:15.520 --> 0:57:18.200
<v Speaker 1>my defense right there and say, look, we trust you guys.

0:57:18.440 --> 0:57:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's start this thing. But they can't score if

0:57:20.640 --> 0:57:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I got the ball, you hope right? No, they's wait

0:57:24.280 --> 0:57:30.960
<v Speaker 1>three plays. Fine, but they've got to wait three plays.

0:57:31.200 --> 0:57:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I think robs onto seven, you hold these guys under thirty,

0:57:33.960 --> 0:57:36.440
<v Speaker 1>You keep this twenty eight or under. I think they

0:57:36.480 --> 0:57:38.640
<v Speaker 1>got a shot to win an opportunity. I think they do.

0:57:39.480 --> 0:57:41.560
<v Speaker 1>You can't let this thing get in the thirties or forties.

0:57:41.600 --> 0:57:43.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, of course they it gets that. It's it's

0:57:43.800 --> 0:57:46.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a thirty four seventeen game. If that happens.

0:57:46.720 --> 0:57:50.880
<v Speaker 1>All right, y'all will be talking Talking Cowboys again tomorrow.

0:57:50.920 --> 0:57:53.479
<v Speaker 1>I got TV duties tomorrow. I gotta figure I gotta

0:57:53.560 --> 0:57:55.560
<v Speaker 1>tell them to go cover this guy with a cornerback.

0:57:56.080 --> 0:57:59.360
<v Speaker 1>There you go, all right, Jordan Lewis, all right, we'll

0:57:59.400 --> 0:58:02.720
