And the New York 12 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: Jets are up next three twenty five pm kickoff Central 13 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: Time at the Meadowlands this Sunday, and we're going to 14 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: continue breaking up down that matchup over the next forty 15 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: five minutes if you want to give us a call. 16 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: Eight eight eight eight five five two two ninety seven 17 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: is the number. We've talked to quite a bit of 18 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: Jets so far this week. We can continue looking at 19 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: some of those key matchups. I know, Brian, you've identified 20 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: three key guys to watch. Yeah, any of those really 21 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: strike your fancy that the Cowboys got to pay attention 22 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: to this week. Yeah. You know, to me, I always 23 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: worry about a guy like Levy on Bell And I 24 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: know Mickey's been absolutely right talking about the struggles with 25 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: their offensive line, their inability to really run the football. 26 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: But you just worry about a player with that kind 27 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: of ability, not only maybe he pops went through there 28 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they get a little momentum. 29 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: Maybe they throw him the ball in the flat and 30 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: you don't tackle very well. Maybe they get down in 31 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: the red zone and they flip it to him and 32 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: you know, one of those misdirection flip blaze and he 33 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: runs in. You know, those are the kinds of things. 34 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: He is a better back than what you saw with 35 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones. The problem is their offensive line is not 36 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: as good as the Green Bay Packers. That worries me 37 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: a little bit. Maybe they get him going, Maybe the 38 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: Cowboys don't tackle well again, maybe they don't get off 39 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: blocks well enough. Maybe they don't do the fundamental things 40 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: that they've been needing to do to win these games 41 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: that they just don't. They don't execute well enough, and 42 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: then there's a problem right there, because then you've got 43 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: a quarterback that's willing to make some throws down the field. 44 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: He'll use Jamison Crowder on some of the stuff as 45 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: a matchup I wrote about today with him and Anthony Brown. 46 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: But yeah, I worry about Leveon Bell getting some things 47 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: going from their offensive getting their quarterback back, and then 48 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 1: putting a little pressure on the Cowboys that way. Let's 49 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: see if if the Jets can block up front. They've 50 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: had a huge problems doing that. If they can, then 51 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: this game will be a lot closer than it should be. 52 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: Mike Leveon Bell has been He's been their guy on offense, 53 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: both in terms of probably schemed that way and a 54 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: bailout guy in the passing game as well. Yeah, I 55 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: mean I kind of worry more about dumping off passes 56 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: to him getting them out in space. Yeah, because they're 57 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: having trouble on their offensive line. Like Brian said, they 58 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: they've changed up a little. I saw where Alex Lewis 59 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: was taken over for assembly. Who's half. He didn't practice yesterday. 60 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: He's been out with a shoulder injury that they I 61 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: don't know how to say the guy's name. Adoga took 62 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: over for Brandon Shell. So they've got changes going on 63 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: that offensive line. But and I didn't realize that we 64 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: were talking about them giving up twenty three sacks, and 65 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, you know how much this has been 66 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: on Falk. He got sacked ten times last week. Yeah, 67 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: he got hit sixteen times. Yeah, not good. So no 68 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: wonder the guy through two interceptions. You got that team 69 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: next week by the way, Philadelphia, Yeah, and had five 70 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: passes defense. Yeah, on't worry at a time exactly, but yeah, 71 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: I mean if they can't block any better than that, 72 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: So you know he's now with Darnald there, maybe that 73 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: you know, you get a different dimension at quarterback and 74 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: you can't concentrate so much on stopping the run because 75 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: they haven't been able to run the football even with him. Yeah, 76 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: it's almost like, you know, with with that guy in there, 77 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: it's like, okay, you can beat us, go ahead and 78 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: beat us, but that guy in't gonna beat me. And 79 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: I think it's a different story with Darnald. Yeah, you 80 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: mentioned some of their injuries up front. What does the 81 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: Cowboys injury report look like as they get back to 82 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: practice today. Well, neither neither tackle is expected to play, 83 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: so Cam left and or practice or play I mean 84 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: practice today, Yeah, yeah, okay, and then uh, you know 85 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: you get Cam left and Brandon Knight right. I still 86 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: think they their original thought was for Tyrant Smith to 87 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: practice tomorrow. Yeah, we'll see if no. I totally agree 88 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: with you on that. If he does that, then he 89 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: plays on Sunday. And it sounded like if he plays 90 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: on Sunday that Cam Fleming's the right tackle. The way 91 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: the head coach was talking, Mickey's absolutely right here, He's 92 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: absolutely right. The plan all along, I believe was to 93 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: give to give him, give Tyrant Smith a couple of 94 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,799 Speaker 1: days to continue to rehab, rest, heal up on the ankle, 95 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: work with Britt Brown, and then get him out there 96 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: on Friday a little bit shorter practice, you know, about 97 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: thirty minutes shorter than they normally go. Get him go 98 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: and get him off his feet, but play him at 99 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: left tackle. So the questions that we had for Jason 100 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: Garrett and the walk off, we're talking about what would 101 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: be the situation at right tackle. And he identified Mickey 102 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong. He identified Cam Fleming as 103 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: his swing tackle. So even though Cam Fleming play has 104 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: been practicing all week at left tackle, then if Collins 105 00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: does not go, which I don't think he's going to go. 106 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: I think Cam Fleming is going to be your right tackle. Now, 107 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: that's that's his job. He's got to know the right side. 108 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: He's got to know the left side. But they but 109 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: in practice, even when they were all healthy, Cam Fleming 110 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: goes in there and plays reps for Collins at right tackle. 111 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: He gets to work with Zach Martin over there, he 112 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: gets to work. Last week he got work with with 113 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: Connor Williams. So as a swing tackle, you have to 114 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: be able to play both sides and you have to 115 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: be able to you know, when you say, okay, I'm 116 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: I'm left tackle today, I got to think about my 117 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: left tackle plays. When I'm right tackle. I've got to 118 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: know those side of the plays too. My foot works different, 119 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: my angles are different, my eyes are different. So these 120 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: are all things you have to flip your brain to do. 121 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: And that's why he has the gig as the right 122 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: as the swing tackle, because he's capable of doing those things. 123 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: And he mentioned that last week that he gets work 124 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: in practice even when he tackles are healthy. He does, 125 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: and that's where experience comes in with him right over 126 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: a Brandon Knight. The fact that he's played I think 127 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: we've talked about the Super Bowl and all that he 128 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: played right tackle. I'm saying that, and Mickey gave me 129 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: the death stairs last time. I kind of did that 130 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: for you. I just love that. I just hope, I 131 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: just hope his results are different. Yeah, well, you know, 132 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: and that's you know. I was asked this morning on 133 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: one oh five three, which guy would I go with? 134 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: I agree with what you know, the concerns that Mickey has. 135 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: I mean, he's not wrong about about Cam Fleming and 136 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: some of the chaos it comes with him. When he blocks. 137 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: It doesn't look pretty. It's not always right. It's there's 138 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: pressure there. I mean, Jason Garrett call it ugly production. 139 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: Ugly productions that I've been told for all this time, 140 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: because he said I was told last year. If you 141 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: watch how he does it, it's it's not pretty. But 142 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: sometimes the result he is he makes the defender run 143 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: over him to get to the ball, and so that's 144 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: sometimes it's ugly. He doesn't set his feet well enough. 145 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: He's not always strong at the point of attack, you know, 146 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: but the experience and all those things that you want 147 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: to say, there comes a point in time that you know, 148 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: maybe maybe it's a season wears along. If they continue 149 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: to work with end to night, that he will then 150 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: become the swing tackle and they'll flip roles a lot 151 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: to ask right now of an undrafted They threw that kid, 152 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: They played him at tackle, they've played him at guard. 153 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: Evidently they feel like and Mark Colombo had a big, 154 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: big hand on this one, because I'm I'm not gonna lie. 155 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: I did not see Brandon Knight making this football team 156 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: coming out of oxnart Well. And then all of a 157 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: sudden we started hearing oh wait a minute, now, oh 158 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: wait a minute, And then it was what and when 159 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: he did? Yeah, And they had some injuries and you're wondering, 160 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 1: how are they going to get Cedric Wilson up practice 161 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: him still kept him still Well, I think they look 162 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: at him as as as a futures I don't think 163 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: the futures today. Yeah, yeah, and so yeah, and the 164 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: fact that he could play guard and tackle. Yeah, because 165 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: if you Brian's right, when he made the team, it 166 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: was like, seriously, yeah, after watching him in training camp. 167 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: He struggled. Yeah, and he wasn't perfect in the game 168 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: by no means. But that's his first I get it, 169 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 1: it's his first, but it was only a quarter and 170 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: a half. And what happens when the is gonna play? Sure, 171 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: but when Green Bay knows you're throwing pretty much every time, 172 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: that's difficult. He hung in there against the Smiths, you know. 173 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: That's all you can ask for him, you know, And 174 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: he got a little confidence doing that. And you know, Mickey, 175 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: it's funny you say, you know, maybe the time is 176 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: it now, but maybe the time is now. It has 177 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: to be. It has to be now, because you know, 178 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: you don't want to If Cam Fleming is winning with 179 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: ugly production, you know, then okay, I see what you're 180 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: saying there. But maybe the other guy is winning. But 181 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: he is productive, His technique is good, he's playing with 182 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: more power. They're getting more from him in the running game. 183 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: You know, he's showing up. He's not giving up pressures. 184 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: I think that's the thing I worry about Cam Fleming 185 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: the most is you just don't know when he's going 186 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: to give up that one bad play or that one 187 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: you know, And I guess I need to say that 188 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: about all those line it. Connor Williams has the same 189 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: problems sometimes when's Connor Williams going to over extend and 190 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: allow the three technique to get around him and get 191 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: up in the middle of the pocket and cause Dak problems. 192 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: You know, these guys aren't perfect. They aren't perfect. But 193 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: are you going to take a guy that's, you know, 194 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: the guy that's a little bit more consistent with this technique, 195 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: or you're going to take the guy that's winning with 196 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,719 Speaker 1: ugly production. I that's that's that's the debate that they 197 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: need to have. I love this quote from DeMarcus Lawrence 198 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: yesterday on the subject of injuries. Yeah, because you always 199 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: say nobody nobody cares, nobody cares. He said, who cares? 200 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: You care? To be honest, do you really care? Nobody cares. 201 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: Nobody cares about your feelings. Nobody cares if you're hurt, 202 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: Nobody cares if you're broke, rich, nobody cares. Who cares? 203 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: Be you go to work. That's straight out of the pole. 204 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: He said, he was done and he was out of there. 205 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: And think about this last week we're doing again this week. 206 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: You spend all week talking about injuries, right then, you 207 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: go in the game and the result doesn't come out 208 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: the way you're expecting, right, and no one says, well, 209 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: it's because of injuries, right, you got beat Yeah, this 210 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,719 Speaker 1: guy through three interceptions, this guy didn't run for more 211 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: than sixty five yards, But no one points out that, well, yeah, 212 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: they were pretty compromised on the offensive line for more 213 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 1: than a quarter of the game. It disappears Lawrence is right, 214 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: he's right. You know, we talk about the injuries, let's 215 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: give the injury report, and then you get to the 216 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: game and all this guy's not gonna play. This guy's 217 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: got gonna play. And then we get the result and 218 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: it's like, well, yeah they lost. What are they doing? 219 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: They didn't play well enough. I think if anybody has 220 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: a reason to feel sorry for themselves, it's the New 221 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 1: York Jets. Mono of all things. Your quarterback goes down 222 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: with Mono tight end gets suspended, and it looks like, 223 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: now pull the Hamstrmistry's not gonna play. He's one of 224 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: their better players. You know, if there's anybody that should 225 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: feel sorry for themselves, it's the New Orleans Saints. Yeah, 226 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: you know, if you yeah, Teddy Bridgewater, I mean he 227 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: hits his thumb and now he's out, and you know 228 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 1: what's happening. They've won three straight games with Teddy Bridgewater 229 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: playing quarterback. So all of a sudden, Saints, you like, hey, Drew, 230 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: take it easy. Week A week eight, no week ten, 231 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: no week eight, I'll be back. Don't forget me week 232 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: you know, and not that Teddy Brees. But there comes 233 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: a certain time where the you know, I didn't feel 234 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: sorry for the Saints. I mean, I was you know, 235 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: what if if you told me that every opponent is 236 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: going to lose Davante Adams or Drew Brees and all that, 237 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: you know, take advantage of that, you know, But then again, 238 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: you lose Tyrant Smith, you know, you you know, you 239 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: lose guys along the way, and it's Woods is another 240 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: one and so. But but you have to play better 241 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: to compensate for whatever losses you have. The New Orleans 242 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: Saints have played better with the compensation of Drew for 243 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: Drew Brees, They've played better. So the callous Cowboys. This 244 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: to me, rob is such a fundamental game. This, this 245 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: game coming up is such a fundamental game. And you know, 246 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: and it's it's not great analysis to say that, but 247 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: It's true because this team, and it does things the 248 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: right way, can be very difficult to deal with when 249 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: they make mistakes, holding, when they make turnovers or don't 250 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: you know, when they make fundamental mistakes, they're not a 251 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 1: very good team. They come right back to the team 252 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: and that's what a little bit of worry about the Jets. 253 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: Don't give the Jets any hope in this game. You know, 254 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: go out there and fundamentally beat them. You're a better 255 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: football team than them. Find a way to block, better, 256 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: find a way to throw the ball, better, find a 257 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: way to catch the ball, better run the ball, better 258 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: tackle better. You know, don't finish the first quarter with 259 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: zero points. Yeah. See that to me? Is that to 260 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 1: me is it's such a fundamental thing watching this team play, 261 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: because they could be outstanding when they are when they're 262 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: on it. When they're making mistakes, they're just they're they're 263 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: a bad team. You let me write where I wanted 264 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: to go today, and I've got two partial quotes from 265 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: Zeke yesterday in the locker room. He said, quote basic 266 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 1: small things. If the offense has to clean up, d 267 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 1: Law said, quote basic fundamentals that they've got to clean up. 268 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: Is that what's holding this team back? Or do you 269 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: look at this team after two losses and say, maybe 270 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 1: there's a little bit more than just well, they've got 271 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: to clean it up. I mean when they when they 272 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: don't play clean football, is that strictly on them or 273 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: is there something maybe we're not looking at. I'll you'll 274 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: bounce my time to the senator from Illinois. Well did 275 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: they did they play clean against the Saints? Defensively? Yes? 276 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: Held them no touchdowns? Yeah? Right? And then the next 277 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: week you give up four Yeah? Two? Aaron Jones, by 278 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: the way, so were you playing clean or did they 279 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: come up with a game plan that that fooled you? 280 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. They were running right up the middle. Yeah, 281 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: but we've seen that before, so it's not like, yeah, 282 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: just clean it up. Well, sometimes you know they had 283 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: a better game plan or you know, am I reading 284 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: it good enough? I'm reading it? Then I stood on 285 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: the soapbox of the fundamental part of it. You seem 286 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: to stand on the soapbox of well somebody's figured something 287 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: out about this run defense, because that's where I was going, Mick, Yeah, 288 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: because that's good. Those guys don't feel like I guarantee 289 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: you they don't think it's a personnel issue. It's it's 290 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: we're not doing our job. To what Brian said, well, 291 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: why didn't they do it? Yeah, Well, I think that's 292 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: why you have to give some credit. If you suddenly 293 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: get in a game and you start chasing the ball 294 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: when you're not supposed to chase it, and they can't 295 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: tell you on the bench quit chasing the ball. Yeah, 296 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes they counter your style with their style 297 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: and it doesn't work out. So well, did I make 298 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: it too simplistic Mickey? Yeah, because I just think there's 299 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: there's something else. I mean, you don't go into a 300 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: playoff game in the second round and then well we 301 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: don't want to play. Yeah, they found something to take 302 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: advantage of the cowboy defense, and now you got to 303 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: you gotta adjust and shut that down. Because if you're 304 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: getting up the field and they're running right past you 305 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: the other way, you know, it's sort of like the 306 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: crowd at the subway station and New or you're going 307 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: in and they're coming out. Yeah, it's not a good scene. 308 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett talked about Monday. He didn't he wasn't specific, 309 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: but he said there's certain things guys were trying to 310 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: do too much. Yeah, take the job that leads to 311 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: the run defense. Is that where he's going? You think, 312 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: is it? Mickey? Well, if they are, why are they 313 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: and why can't you change it in the middle of 314 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: the game. Change tell them? No, you're doing too much, 315 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: do you know? Hold down the fort I don't like 316 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: being too aggressive if you get if you get sucked 317 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: into it and just keep doing it and doing it. 318 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: Sometimes you get handled up front too, by the way, 319 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: I thought they got really handled. But I think about this, 320 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: but they were handling all those losses. What did you 321 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: predict this game? Was that Green Bay was game was 322 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: gonna be Yeah, I was gonna be a high school 323 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: I feel yeah, I felt you had thirty eight. Yeah, 324 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: there was some reason why you thought the Packers were 325 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: going to score twenty eight points, right, So didn't think 326 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: they were to do it on the ground though, Mickey, Yeah, exactly, 327 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: But they did. Yeah, And so the downfall in the 328 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: game was the offense didn't hold up there into the bargain. Sure. 329 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: You know, we keep hearing about takeaways and you know 330 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: field position is real. Uh. I think the punter's back 331 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: is bothering him. Yeah, because he didn't punt the way. 332 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: We're no lost that we lost that battle. See on 333 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: the injury report again this week, Chris Jones. I didn't 334 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: think he was limited for a day last week and 335 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: then was full on, Yeah he's not, he's not, he's 336 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: not on there. But we lost that battle last week. 337 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: But but yeah, and you look and you lost the 338 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: kicking battle. Yeah, kick kickoffs weren't great. Um, so you know, 339 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: there was a lot of things went into the offense 340 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: not holding up their end of the bargain. If they 341 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: had you know, they they scored twenty four even despite 342 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: three turnovers. Think about if you just had one maybe, 343 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: you know, and then you kept those two possessions that 344 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: were going well, you might have scored thirty points too. 345 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: They could have won the game. Can I ask what 346 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: Keska question? Then? Yeah? Is then the offense been the 347 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: clunker the last two weeks because the defense. Yeah, I 348 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: got a tweet yesterday or yesterday that the defense really 349 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: didn't play well against the Saints because they let the 350 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: Saints control the time possession, they gave up four field goals. Yeah, 351 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: they played well. They had a bad game last week. 352 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: I don't think they're a bad defense. So that to me. 353 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: Our guy in Vegas hates the bend, but don't break defense. Right. Well, 354 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: they need more turnovers, there's no question about that. But 355 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: I'm interesting if they think if they had kicked made 356 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: both field goals, what's the score? Yeah? Right, yeah, yeah, 357 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: and you have a chance for an on side kick 358 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: at the end of the game. Now, I'm not saying 359 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: that's going to turn the game around. I don't think 360 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: anybody's recovering an on site how after what did they 361 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 1: have at halftime? Three points? Seventeen point seventeen. Last time 362 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: they've been shout out was against the Chargers on Thanksgiving. Okay, 363 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: awful stretch without so they had a hell of a 364 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: chance to score twenty seven points in the second half. 365 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: Yeah and they and I ain't buying all this stuff, 366 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: Well it was garbage time. The Packers gave up. They 367 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: didn't give up because there was a possession in the 368 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. I'm sitting there, going, why are they throwing 369 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: the ball? They're up by all these points and you're 370 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: still just run the ball, killed the clock. Yeah, they 371 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: but they were worried, sure, right, because they saw they 372 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: could not cover the Cowboys wide receivers. First five drives 373 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: of the game. I think they had almost two hundred 374 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: yards of total offense. Dallas there nothing to show for. 375 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: We talked about that after the game where the drives 376 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: ended green Bay thirty eight, green Bay thirty five, Dallas 377 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 1: forty seven. You know, we were kind of going through 378 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: all that. Sometimes it takes thirty some points to win 379 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: a game. Sometimes it only takes thirteen. Yeah, and they 380 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: couldn't do that. So did we answer your question about 381 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,239 Speaker 1: the offense. I don't think so holding up their end 382 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: of the bar, I mean no, no, I mean I 383 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: think they will tell you they didn't. I mean they 384 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: played too sloppy. They had to the three turnovers in 385 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: the game, five in the last two weeks. I think 386 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: it's I think it's one of those things that it's 387 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: alarming when we see their best players not playing well, 388 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: when we see Vandresh missing tackles, when we see Jalen 389 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: Smith jumping around blocks, not doing his assignment, you know that. 390 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 1: I think that's the thing that can earns me the most. 391 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 1: When I watched him, I'm like, man, they they're better 392 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: than this. They're they're they're a better team than what 393 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,959 Speaker 1: they're showing right now. And maybe they're maybe they fooled me, 394 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: maybe they feel made but we get we're a quarterway 395 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: through the season. You know, they're not going to give 396 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: me credit if they go out there and beat the Jets. 397 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: It's going to come down to have to figure out 398 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: how to do something against Philadelphia. But you better find 399 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: a way to win this game. So better figure that 400 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: out first. Zeke said about the offense, we got to 401 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: get our edge back. We've just got to play more 402 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: physical and just do what we do and not make 403 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 1: these mistakes and he pointed to penalties two. Yeah, it's 404 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: hard to play physical when you don't have a guy 405 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: like Tyrant Smith in there too. That hurts. So you 406 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: mentioned Vanders. We worried that he's not going to get 407 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: back in time for this game at all. Jason said 408 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: he was feeling better today but wasn't going to practice. Yeah, 409 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 1: what do we know what the illness is, Mickey, other 410 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: than illness? Yeah, it's uh, I don't know. I mean 411 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: it's I saw him walking around yesterday. Obviously didn't practice, 412 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: but he was in the building. Yeah, we need to 413 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: figure that out. But anyway, are they prepared to compensate 414 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: for it? Yeah, that means that would be Smith, Smilee 415 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: and Thomas. Yeah, Smith, Lee, Thomas would be out there 416 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: on that and then when you go when you go Nickel, 417 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: they would be Lee and Thomas, or Lee and Thomas Smith. 418 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: Smith is a blushing, Smith is a blitzer, Thomas is 419 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: a or Lee either one as a as a as 420 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 1: a defender, pass defender. I worry that you don't have 421 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: you wouldn't have his dynamic plays. He can provide Vanderish, yeah, 422 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: but as a rusher or he can play the week 423 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,479 Speaker 1: side if they want him there. I don't know if 424 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: you change it up, but Thomas there on the week No, 425 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: I'm seeing I'm just why am I thinking now Sean 426 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: Lee and I'm not seeing I just thought the word 427 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: liability came in my mind and it's and I don't 428 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: know if that's the kay. I don't know if that's 429 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: being fair to Shawn Lee. I haven't seen Shaun Lee. 430 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: I know he hasn't had a whole lot of chances. 431 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 1: But they did they day last week, they did play 432 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: a little bit more bass. We talked about Shawn Lee. 433 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: Did we see Shaun Lee make enough plays? We see 434 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: those Shawn Lee plays. It might live in a fantasy world, 435 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: believing that Sean Lee still Sean Lee. I think you 436 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: made a point last week, maybe that he's a guy 437 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: that needs a lot of snaps to kind of get rolling. Ye, 438 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,919 Speaker 1: and that's just not his role anymore. Yeah, but the 439 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: strong side linebackers usually not going to make a lot 440 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: of plays. But that guy's uncovered, you know. And they 441 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: said that they can play that defense with him covered up. Yeah, 442 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: I don't know how much covered up he's been. Yeah, 443 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 1: you know, and so he's taken on and block when 444 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: you were playing the weak side. The ideas because your 445 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: right defensive end is strong and your your right tackle 446 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: or the strong the weak side tackles strong, that he's 447 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: covered up and he's gonna go and blocked and you know, 448 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: able to run and make plays. I don't think that's 449 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: the case on the strong side. But you know what 450 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: when they when they when they were in base defense 451 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: against the run, they were almost more susceptible than when 452 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 1: they were in nickel. You know. I just got that 453 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: perception watching, Yeah, because they went two tight ends, they 454 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: used their full bash right and they were running the ball. Yeah. 455 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: See the thing about it is, would you rather have 456 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: Sean Lee down low or Jeff Heath. That's what you 457 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: have to determine right there. You know what I'm saying 458 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: down low? Yeah, I mean if you if you don't, 459 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 1: if you if you don't think that Lee can do 460 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 1: it anymore, then that means Jeff heat that means more Nickel, 461 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: that means put him down there. I don't know. That 462 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 1: to me is because I just haven't seen in the 463 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 1: plays that And I told Mickey's absolutely right the way 464 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: he explained how the strong side linebacker plays. But I 465 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: just I just haven't seen Sean Lee make that one 466 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 1: yard tackle or two yard tackle. You know, I just 467 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: haven't seen it yet. Well, we'll keep an eye on 468 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 1: Laton Vanderesh and maybe he can get back to practice 469 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: on Friday.

Yeah, maybe 526 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 1: you got zero first quarter zero. I had some right too, 527 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: and show you're always right. Well I am, okay, we 528 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: learned that after the Ice Bowl. Yeah, I'm supposed to 529 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: know how many how many touchdowns they're going to have 530 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: in the first quarter, right, you are supposed to know 531 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: that people will bet on that. I mean, that's what 532 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna come to. Right. This is just a precursor. 533 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 1: That's why Rob's favorite place is Las Vegas. It is not, 534 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: it is not. Pretty soon, pretty soon it's gonna be Dallas. 535 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: Rob cannot wait to cover the draft for us, And 536 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: I guess I just like seeing the craziness in that place. 537 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: It is in summer league basketball, so too. Yeah, all right, 538 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: we went late in the first sement. Let's take a 539 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: couple of phone calls before we break. Uh Nebbie in Maryland, 540 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: what's up by the europe first on talking cowboys?

I just want to 542 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: say that we uh we had better not take the 543 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: New York did lately because we uh our winless teams 544 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: are dangerous because they're hungry for a win. So we 545 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: we've got to focus, execute, uh, make plays and find 546 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: a way to win. Take care. Thanks for being patient 547 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: with me, and have a great week. Bye. Thanks Nebbie, 548 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: he nailed it. Nebby's listening to my philosophy. Yeah, he 549 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: got my He got my Xerox blueprint this morning. More 550 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: the more you lose, the closer y'arred of winning. Yeah, 551 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: absolutely right in that's league anyway. Yeah that was what 552 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: you said on the blueprint yea, yeah, absolutely, yeah. Okay, 553 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: I cannot take anybody likely, especially on the road, especially 554 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: the way you've lost the last two and you don't 555 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: never know what. Maybe you're a disparate team too, maybe 556 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: and you never know what kind of officiating crew you're 557 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: gonna get. Yeah, one that Mickey doesn't like. Yeah, I'm 558 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: sure Mickey looks at the flip card immediately. I think 559 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: instead of wearing a tie on game day, I'm gonna 560 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: start wearing my NFL shield shirt, the official shirt, wear 561 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: the hat in the press box. That would be great, 562 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: That would be great. Please do that. So I stand 563 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: up and just start anyway. I wonder if I wonder 564 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: if that guy got suspended yet, whether that official nah yet. No, 565 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: that you can't. You can't do that. You can't. You 566 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: can't put yourself in the game that way. That minds 567 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: me if it's very NBA. A Shrik robs game, robs 568 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: the NBA guy here, But that's very NBA. Is to 569 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: put yourself in the game that way. When you get 570 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: into personal confrontations with you know, with with coaches, players, 571 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: that's that's that's not the wrong thing. Your your job 572 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: is to you. You take it. You know, that's your 573 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: You stand on that sidelines every week. You know nobody. 574 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: You're not gonna make everybody happy over there. But all 575 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: all Jason Garrett and all these head coaches ask you 576 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: to do is do your job and then walk away. 577 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: You don't antagonize. That's not your job. Yeah, that's not 578 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: at all, you know. And if and if, if you 579 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: think you made a mistake, you just gotta suck it 580 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: up and take it. Absolutely abusive language. Ye. All right, 581 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: let's go back to the phone lines. James in New York. 582 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: You're up next on Talking Cowboys. Anywa's up, guys, Thanks 583 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: for taking the call. Sure, yeah, yeah, I kind of 584 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: like the conversation you guys are talking about with what's 585 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: kind of the issues with the team. You know, I 586 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: look at this team, and you know, I think every 587 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: team's got some stuff they got to work on. You know, 588 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: you look at the Chiefs, they got offensive line problems, NFC. 589 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: You know, he got breezes out for the scenes. Cousins 590 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: with the Vikings, there's a problem. So a lot of 591 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: teams have their awards. You know, in the past, the 592 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: Cowboys at times with the Romo teams would be kind 593 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: of be peaking in October and then towards after Thanksgiving 594 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: they tend to Wilton. You know, we had those games. 595 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: It was just one and dumb playoffs that we felt 596 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: short in My point being is that I'd rather than 597 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: have these mistakes now in October and have a scheduling, 598 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,239 Speaker 1: you know, gift in the sense that you're playing at 599 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: least a team the Jets, that you can kind of 600 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: get your mojo back, get your confidence back a little 601 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: bit before you play you know, a big game against 602 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: Eagles Sunday knife in two weeks, because you know, if 603 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: you're dealing with these things in December when you're trying 604 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: to fight foot playoffs, but it doesn't tend to end. 605 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: It tends to really make the team, you know, struggle 606 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: and you know, you really don't know what your identity is. 607 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: And I think this is a time where this team 608 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: can still figure outs identity and really correct a lot 609 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: of these things which are really collectible. I mean turnovers. 610 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: You know, hey, those are gonna happen. You know, you 611 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: just got to kind of tighten up. And I feel 612 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: the runteef it. So if you get Intony antoine Wood's back, 613 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: I think will be at least will be a little 614 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: bit better, um, considering who's been in there since since 615 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: he got hurt. Because you know, you know, you guys 616 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: are on Twitter a lots. It's like a big pity 617 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: party with the fans and everybody's just crying about the 618 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: calls and this, and I just I just don't feel 619 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: that way. I mean, you know you're gonna get calls 620 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,239 Speaker 1: and gonna get calls against you, but at the end 621 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: of the day, you got to execute. And if this 622 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: team just executes a little bit better, they're easily a 623 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: foreign They can be formed one or even five and all. 624 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: Right now, sure no, and highly capable of doing that. Yeah, 625 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: but I like the attitude, but in the stretch run, 626 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: it's not as tough if you win the games early. Well, 627 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: you wrote yesterday in your mixed Shifts no margins of 628 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: her error. No, I mean Parcels used to say, talk 629 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: to me after Thanksgiving with what kind of team I have? 630 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: But ideally you wouldn't like to have any of these 631 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: issues at any point in the season. Yeah, I mean, 632 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: you don't want to have a stretch where of got 633 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: to correct a bunch of fundamental stuff. They'll tell you, 634 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 1: we don't. This shouldn't be happening, period. Not. It's not 635 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: just an early season thing you go through. Yeah, I mean, 636 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: they're they're they're basically to me, they're one game off schedule. 637 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: If you tell me they had to play the Packers 638 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: and the Saints back to back, and one of them 639 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: was on the road. If I can split those and 640 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: be four and one, I'd be real happy. I just 641 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: felt like they were going to lose the New Orleans 642 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: game with Breeze and win the Packer game. Yea, even 643 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: when Rogers was playing, I kind of feel like, okay, 644 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: coming back home. But yeah, they let that Saints game 645 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: slip away. And they totally let that one slip even 646 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: when Bridgewater playing, That's a game you got to go 647 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: into New Orleans and win. You gotta go in there. 648 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: You got to put pressure on him to make plays 649 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: and Kate to keep HARKing back to that. But if 650 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: you look at the end result, they're gonna add them 651 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: up and you're gonna be one game short or one 652 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: game to the good, you know, to get you into 653 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: the playoffs. And I hope it sure doesn't come down 654 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: to well they you know, like Mickey always likes to 655 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: talk about that Rams game they lost a couple of 656 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: years ago, and he's not wrong. Yeah, you know, but 657 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: when you look at the end of the day and 658 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: you're one game short, you're saying, Okay, where was it? Well, 659 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: they remember early in the week. Remember in week four 660 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: when they lost the Saints without Drew Brees Now, and 661 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: then it can bite you. But then what if you 662 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: get in the tournament and you're like, okay, now you 663 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 1: got to go to New Orleans because you lost that game. 664 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 1: You know, that's the thing that that's the thing I'm 665 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: trying to think of.

I'm trying to send Rob Denny to the draft. 749 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 1: Show is gonna be for those three days the draft 750 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 1: being in Vegas. I'm trying to get Rob on that 751 00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: plane out there for that first day of the draft. 752 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: I'll have a new back. I'm I'm gonna go to 753 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 1: the draft this year. There you go, there go very nice? 754 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 1: What do you got? Uh? Yeah? This real quick? Um? 755 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 1: Sometimes I think the Cowboys have gone away from the 756 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: you know, like how one thing we know about that 757 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 1: that he's really amazing at doing is um his slight 758 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: of hand with the ball and all that is, like 759 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 1: you know, they don't run the jet sweep enough you know, 760 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,239 Speaker 1: this to this to get the illusion of other things. 761 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,719 Speaker 1: And on the defensive side, UM, with Antoine Woods close 762 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:36,319 Speaker 1: to coming back, do you think they deactivate UM Jo 763 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,400 Speaker 1: Joe Jackson and keep Tristan Hill on the what is 764 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,320 Speaker 1: more important right now? The rotation? Because Carrie Hyder and 765 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 1: UM Crawford can play both, So what would be more 766 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,320 Speaker 1: ideal for for which then to keep back there between 767 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 1: Joe Jackson and UM and uh Triston Hill and thank 768 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: you so much, thank you? You know what. I bet 769 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,320 Speaker 1: that's the final he's decision they have to make the 770 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 1: active roster. I think that they I think they want 771 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 1: to see. They think they continue to want to see 772 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,280 Speaker 1: what Tristan Hill can do that that you know, maybe 773 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: they're being a little stubborn about it, but I think 774 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 1: that that's where, like Mickey said, I think that's their 775 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 1: last decision that they have to make on who to 776 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,359 Speaker 1: who to activate of those defensive linemen. And you got 777 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: Crawford now again, Well Crawford practiced today, Mickey, because he 778 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: didn't was he limited yesterday? Thought he was limited? Yeah, 779 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,799 Speaker 1: and he'll be limited again today. Yeah, And seeing I'm 780 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 1: and I was kind of asking him because he played 781 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,319 Speaker 1: He played twenty three snaps twenty three and I said, 782 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 1: was that more or less than you anticipated? He said, 783 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 1: probably a little bit more. Yeah, So I don't know 784 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 1: how much more they can extend him and keep them 785 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,800 Speaker 1: in the game because something because they're not really playing 786 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,520 Speaker 1: them at defensive end. They're playing them at a defensive tackle, 787 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 1: which takes more punishment. Yeah, at this point, that's why 788 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: I would say that they would probably go with Hill 789 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: over Jackson and this one that just would be my guests. 790 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,399 Speaker 1: I think you have Woods coming back if you don't 791 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:15,879 Speaker 1: know where exactly his zo, you would have Woods Comington, Crawford, Collins, right, 792 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 1: and I'm not forgetting him. And then depending on Hill. Yeah, Hill, 793 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 1: who only played to Levin snaps in the game, and 794 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:23,840 Speaker 1: we talked about he's had to play a little bit 795 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: of nose, which is kind of out of position for 796 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 1: him because of pay that they envisioned him the three technique. Yeah, 797 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,799 Speaker 1: they absolutely do. Yeah, I'll say this about Denny's first 798 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 1: part of this question, I would not be surprised at 799 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 1: all to see more of a what we saw the 800 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 1: first three weeks of the season as far as an 801 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:49,280 Speaker 1: offensive attack. Multiple formations, bunch formations, spread them out, slide 802 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 1: of hand, inside handoffs, all that stuff like that. I 803 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,080 Speaker 1: would not. I think they need to get back to 804 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: some of that stuff, and I would I think Kellen 805 00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,840 Speaker 1: Moore realizes that Dak Prescott, as Denny said, it is 806 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 1: very good as a ball handler. You know, we've seen 807 00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,440 Speaker 1: what the play Action game does. But I think that 808 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,840 Speaker 1: we'll get back to more of the things that we 809 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,239 Speaker 1: saw before, the pre snap motions, the bunch formations, the 810 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: scatter from bunch formations, the readoption stuff, the inside inside 811 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 1: zone stuff. I think you're going to see more of that. 812 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's what they are. Well, 813 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: do you think they got away from it the last 814 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 1: two weeks? I think that.
