Speaker 1: they'll tell us what they think is most alarming or

19
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: interesting or just something that they're keeping an eye on

20
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: with regards to those two units. But first we got

21
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: to start by talking a little bit about some injuries,

22
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: some injury updates, and some players that misspractice yesterday and

23
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: what we expect from them. This is like a Friday.

00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: This is like a Friday for the team. This is

25
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: a Friday for the team. No, yes, yes, this is

Speaker 1: sho game. Well, you can't just do it before the game.

33
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: Why would you tape a show before the game if

34
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna run on TV? Say Derek, say what you

36
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,520

37
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: all right, you know what I want to say. I'll

Speaker 1: It's not a horrible Yes, it is pretty good. Any

41
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: song where you have say the same lyric forty seven

42
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: thousand times in a row. It's catchy, can't What do

43
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: you think? I don't even know the song, so I

44
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: like a simple song every now and then. I don't know.

45
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: Do the fans know that we've fallen? I'm going is

46
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: a musician like the previous life, he actually traveled the

47
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: world singing and playing. I feel like at hit Yeah

48
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: top forty right, kit Yeah are a one since day one,

49
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: like the real crazy not crazy, but like the real

50
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: passionate fans who like really keep up with everything they

51
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: know they know. Yeah, I don't think that's a widely

52
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: known thing though. Forever the Sickest Kids. That's the name

53
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: of the band, right, yep, pretty damn good. You're on

54
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: the Warped tour, toured the world, sold out arenas. One day,

55
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna have story time with Kent and we're gonna

56
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: have him tell us his craziest story from the road.

57
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: He has to have that after dark. It has to

58
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: be a late night show. Hey, have you not heard

59
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: some of the stories that Nick tells. I think we

60
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: could probably get away with it and Amber's mouth on

61
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: this show. I mean, I think we could probably get

62
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: away with it. True. Yeah, oh cool, So we're off Friday. Okay, cool?

63
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: Moving on, all right, Yeah, it's gonna say Ken, we're

64
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: talking about a guy, you know, in a band, like

65
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: in a world tour. That's probably some good stuff, right,

66
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: depends on your definition of good. This is Kent's nightmare,

67
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: right it is. He's probably sitting over there one one.

68
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to injury talk. Um start first,

69
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: I guess there were four guys from the Cowboys who

70
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: did not practice yesterday, Lele Collins, Justin Durant, Anthony Hitchins,

71
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: Sean Lee. Uh tell me about which ones are most

72
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: concerning or which ones you think are just symptomatic of

73
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: just giving a guy a little time off. Well, Jerry

74
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: Jones said this morning on the radio, you know It's

75
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: weekly radio interview, that they hope that they'll have Sean

76
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: Lee back soon, but he doesn't. He doesn't know when

77
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: soon is and hope hopefully it's soon, but he doesn't

78
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: know what that means. So so probably that this week

79
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: come down doesn't sound like a guy who's ready to

80
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: play in forty eight hours. Tell you that, um, so,

81
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: I mean you think about it that it's you think

82
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: of it in terms of games, and you're like, well,

83
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: he only missed two games against when he was out

84
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: the first time. You forget there was a bye week

85
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: thrown in there as well, like a full week and

86
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: a weekend off, where so that's an added nine days

87
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: where you're not really in the weekly grind. So this

88
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 1: will be his third full absence since he injured the

89
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: hamstring in Atlanta. But that's only twelve days. So the

90
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: wonkiness of the schedule right now really kind of messes

91
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: with him. Like if this had happened at a different

92
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: time in the season, I think it would have been

93
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: better for him. But that's neither here nor there, so

94
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like he's going to be there Thursday.

95
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: We all know what that tends to mean for the defense.

96
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: I don't have a good read on the Hitchins situation.

97
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 1: It's growing injury, it's it's well, yeah, it's it's related.

98
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he played through it, so there's every possibility

99
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: that he could get himself up for it. I don't

100
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: know the fact that it's not a short week, but

101
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: it's not the long week that you typically get after

102
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: a Thursday game, So I don't know. We'll see what

103
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: he does today, that could be really telling. Durant's a concussion,

104
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: and you know typically with that you're either like good

105
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: to go or you're gonna miss again. Like for instance,

106
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: Zach Martin had the same thing and he was back

107
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: at practice already. Right, it seems like a good bet

108
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: that he'll be available Thursday. But I don't know about

109
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: Duran The interesting with a concussion. It seems like, again,

110
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,239
Speaker 1: none of these things are the same. But it seems

111
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: like when you get to what would be a Friday

112
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: or at least what will be a Thursday, and the

113
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: guy still has not practice with a concussion, that doesn't

114
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: seem like it's a It's great that it seems like

115
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: there's like that's kind of what I meant is not

116
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: good to go, But like you go through the protocol

117
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: and it's like okay, like you're fine, You're you're cognitively

118
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: you're good. It seems like you kind of missed a

119
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: bullet here. And Zach Martin was he was limited, but

120
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: he was out there doing stuff. Yes, because it's either

121
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: all or none. You're not just gonna be right. Yeah,

122
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: if they I mean, if you're not doing anything two

123
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: days into the practice week, that tells me like, all right,

124
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: calm down. You don't need to be out there doing

125
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: you know, over exerting yourself like that. You need some time.

126
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: But also when you think about what needs to happen

127
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: with the roster and a linebacker, like if you're not

128
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: gonna have Durant, you're not gonna have Sean Lee and

129
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: Hitchens is banged up, you know, what are you? What

130
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: are you doing there? That's a really that's a good point.

131
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: And the fact that they haven't added a linebacker this

132
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: week maybe says that they they hope one of those

133
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: guys can play. Yeah, but I'm still thinking this could

134
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: be the most we've seen from like Justin marsh Lillard

135
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: so far this year. Well, the other thing to consider

136
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: here is you are playing a team that probably and

137
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: we'll get into this when we start talking about the

138
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: way you match up against this team, but this is

139
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: a team that throws the ball a ton, especially now

140
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: that their best running back is gone for the year.

141
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: Ah But is that I mean, is that the case there?

142
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, And that's what we're gonna get into

143
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: when we start talking about the Redskins breakdown. But their

144
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: best running back is gone. But now, like I think,

145
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: and it's only one game, but it looks like they

146
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: maybe adapted their style of play to fit what they

147
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: have because I know it a minute. Wait wait wait,

148
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: wait wait, you have an injury, you stick to the plan.

149
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: You don't adapt to another game plan. You don't do

150
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: that because no one does that. Nonsense, Dave Sing, I know, Nick, well,

151
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: listen to you know what the hold on before we

152
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: get right into what the Redskins are doing? Are we

153
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: into that right now? I mean yeah, you just just

154
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: want to send too what happened yesterday when you when

155
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: listen to the coordinators both of them, Scott Scott Nahan

156
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: and Rod Marinelli said the same thing and that you know,

157
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: you do what you do. And I think the quote

158
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: from from Lenahan was, you know, we're the same team

159
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: that we were when we won three games in a

160
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: row of back just a few a month ago, which

161
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: is not true, but he said, you know, you just

162
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: want to do what you do and you just keep

163
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: doing it hard, hard, do it better, you know, you know,

164
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: just keep practicing and all these things. And it's like

165
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: that's to me, that's the problem here, that's the problem.

166
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: You can't just keep doing what you do and say

167
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: we're the same team we were three weeks ago, because

168
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: you're not. Thing is it sounds good and it's certainly

169
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: if you can. Ever, if you can actually get to

170
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: that point, then yeah, now you've hit the holy grail

171
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: of how you handle injuries in the NFL. The problem is,

172
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: it just doesn't make sense when you think about it.

173
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: If you could do, if you could be the same

174
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: team you work when you were on that three game

175
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: win streak, then there's no way to do I let

176
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: me say like this, there's no way to do that

177
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: in today's construct of the NFL, where your depth is

178
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: going to be affected because you can't because of the

179
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: amount of money that's on the cap. You cannot have

180
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: players at every position and have depth at every position

181
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: to be able to absorb all those injuries. Can't. Alabama

182
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: can do that because they just pull up the next

183
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: five star recruit. But in the NFL, I don't know.

184
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: That's what I wrote in my column. This isn't just

185
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: like Trent Green going down and Kurt Warner comes in

186
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: and you know, a made for Hollywood slash Canton story.

187
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: It doesn't happen like that all the time. It's very

188
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: rare that an injury goes, you know, happens, and then

189
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: guy just comes in and says, Romo, Deck Prescott, that's rare.

190
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: That's really rare, And people don't realize how rare it

191
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: is because of the way they're talking about Dak Prescott

192
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: this year, with the struggles that he's head and I

193
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: thought about that yesterday too, which that kind of tends

194
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: to get glossed over. But this team did, you know,

195
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: adapt really well to a major injury last year in

196
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: the form of Dak Prescott, And I'm sure that must

197
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 1: weigh heavily in their minds that, hey, this has worked

198
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: before like this. The whole reason people have high expectations

199
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: for us is because we handled this type of adversity

200
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: the right way before. So there's that line of thinking.

201
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I completely agree with it, but like,

202
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure that line of thinking is there and I

203
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: follow it at least. Although the difference is, if you

204
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 1: want to go back to last year, they did adapt,

205
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: Like they didn't do the same thing with Dak Prescott

206
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: that they would have done with Tony Romo. But they didn't,

207
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: and so they did have to change things up. They ran,

208
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: they ran some zone reads last year that they were

209
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: not going to run with Tony Romo out there, so

210
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: they did adapt, they did change. Huh Tony Romo is

211
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: a readoption king how right? Yeah, maybe in year three

212
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: of his care But I'm just saying noo. I just

213
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: think they did adapt last year, and and again, I

214
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: just I think some of this as tends to be

215
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: the case in the NFL. I think some of this

216
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: is probably overblown a little bit by us. I'm talking

217
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: about the media, because there is kind of this all

218
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: or nothing. They probably did make some changes, they probably

219
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: did adapt some things, But you're right, Nick, just the

220
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: overall mindset of we're just gonna throw the next guy

221
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: in there and we're gonna keep doing what we're doing.

222
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: That just doesn't when you hear it. When you I mean,

223
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 1: when you're waiting to hear Scott Linehan talk about this

224
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: whole situation, you expect to hear something hopeful and something

225
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: that okay, at least you know they're going the right way,

226
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: and it gives you some hope and some of the

227
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: changes they're doing. But one of the things he did

228
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: say yesterday was kind of like, all right, well, we

229
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: focus on the things we are doing well instead of

230
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: the things that we're doing wrong or bad. It's like, okay, well,

231
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: what are those things that you are doing well? Not many?

232
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: So how can you be folks? You're seeing on that

233
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 1: on the positive when the negative is overcoming the positive.

234
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: And he said, third down third down conversions is something

235
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: we're doing well. Okay, but the problem is is you're

236
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: not doing anything on first and second down, so everything

237
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: is a third down. I mean like the Chargers didn't

238
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: have many third downs because they just kept moving it

239
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: up and down the field. First down, first down, first down,

240
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: first down. Yeah. Yeah. So I thought that was odd

241
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: too that he said that because you're five and six

242
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: and you've lost three in a row, like there's obviously

243
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: more bad things happening than the good. I don't understand

244
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: that mindset of where we're gonna try to fix. We're

245
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: gonna just just keep doing I mean, what does that mean.

246
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: I think a lot of that And I tried to

247
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: articulate that yesterday too, though, is like if you admit it,

248
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: then it's a and then it's like this problem and

249
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: it's a problem. Yeah, and then you know they know

250
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: this stuff, they're not gonna say it to you. And

251
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're gonna go make like wholesale chain.

252
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: They're not going to do that. But they're just like

253
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: they're they don't want to put it out there that

254
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: they agree with you about that stuff, because guess what,

255
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: then you got a big headline saying Lenahan Colin. Yeahs.

256
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: At least you want to feel like you're on the

257
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: same page, that everyone is on the same page, although

258
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: you know they know obviously they know everything that's going on.

259
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: But I will obvious say this though, Ambert, like all

260
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: of you guys, all three of you guys, spend time

261
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: in that locker room and you talk to you guys

262
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: off the record. That's where you hear the real right,

263
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: So that's where you get to find out, you know,

264
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: if if they if they don't believe things are going right,

265
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna say it, they just won't say it in

266
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: front of the cameras. And so you know, I think

267
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: they I think I agree with Dave. They know, they

268
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: just don't want to put it out there publicly like that.

269
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: But guarantee, in these meetings this week, they're probably talking

270
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: about those things that they don't do so well and

271
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: saying how do we improve this and what do we

272
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: need to do differently? And I mean that's a part

273
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: of being a coach, and that's I mean, we'll see

274
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: what it means for the offense. But like they're they're

275
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: benching dudes and shuffling dudes in the secondary, so like

276
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: they can say all they want about how to stay

277
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: the course, Like that's not true if they're benching people

278
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: and shuffling things. So I think they know and they

279
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: go about it their own way. They don't want to

280
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: admit it publicly or like put that out into the universe.

281
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: So why not make a change it running back? Then?

282
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: Why didn't they do that? I don't know, because they

283
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: probably feel like right now, they don't. They probably feel

284
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: like the running back. They probably feel like the running

285
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: back position is one of the lesser of their concerns

286
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: and may feel like making a change there doesn't necessarily

287
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: give you an appreciably better result, you know, Like right now,

288
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: I don't think the Running game is horrible. I think

289
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: the Running Game has been okay. I think the Running

290
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: Game is the only thing that hasn't been horrible. But

291
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: and the difference is this is the irony of the

292
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: whole situation. The running game has to be great in

293
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: order for everything else to work. That's the problem. But

294
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: you don't have another guy to roll in here. That's

295
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott, right, So you're not going to improve that

296
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: to make it great until Zeke comes back. Right now.

297
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: You just have to deal with what you have to

298
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: deal with. So getting an okay running game is what

299
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna have. Can you fill in with all those

300
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: other things that you're saying. Zeke's in the running game

301
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: is great, and a great running game makes everything else

302
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: pretty good. But when he's not in, then it's just

303
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: an average running game, and an average running game makes

304
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: everything else bad. Yes, that's why that's it works. I

305
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: was at practice yesterday for what ten minutes and talking

306
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: talking to a guy that I don't really talk to

307
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: a whole lot about stuff going on in the field,

308
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: and he said to me, you know what this team needs.

309
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: This team needs more speed at receiver. And I was like, yeah, yeah,

310
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: they do, Yeah, you know, it's fill point. I was

311
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: just like yesterday on the radio too. I was driving home.

312
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: I was listening to this showing radio and there were

313
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of media types from Dallas that were on

314
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: the air, and they went on for about twenty minutes

315
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: on this team needs some speed receiver. And I was

316
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: just like, Nick is just like sitting there, just like,

317
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: come on, man, come on. I think I've been saying

318
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: that everybody at Alexander, right, yeah, everybody sees it. They

319
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: You guys don't even know who that is. No, I don't.

320
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: I remember the name played at Auburn. It was like

321
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: nineteen Get him. He was drafted the same year as

322
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: Emmett m How long he playing the league? Not three years?

323
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: He was? Hey, he was on the reunion they had

324
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: the other day of the nineteen ninety two. Oh yeah,

325
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: I didn't recognize his face. Yeah, yeah he was. He

326
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: was the little guy out there. Eighty one played for

327
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: three years. Huh. Yeah he wasn't He wasn't that special.

328
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: But I mean he was a speed guy. You know.

329
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: He was a guy drafted in the second round because

330
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: he could run. He was a track guy. That's kind

331
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: of what they need to just need somebody like that.

332
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: But if they don't have that, and they're not gonna

333
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: have it for a while, they need to at least

334
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: use what they have, and I think use the field.

335
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: We said it yesterday spread the field a little bit.

336
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: I will say this, I'm starting to disagree with you

337
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: just a little bit on that. I don't want just

338
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: to speed guy. I actually want them to get a

339
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: fast guy that actually can play receiver, like a oh

340
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: a good fast gut Okay, So yeah, I actually want

341
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: to I want to see him. I want to see them.

342
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: I want to see them go out and get a

343
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: stud wide receiver. That's fine. So you're saying the first round, no, yeah,

344
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: no way, you don't. Not in not in today's NFL.

345
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: I do third round, Jarvis Landry, third round, Juju Smith Schuster,

346
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: your third rounds A Jones like, you don't have to

347
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: go Antonio Brown, fifth or sixth round. Yeah, but that's

348
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: an anomaly, obviously, it's not. That's an anomaly. That's not

349
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: the best receivers in the game right now. The five

350
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: Julio guys who first round Abe Abe, So he's in

351
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: the Julio first round, Backham first round. Um. I thought

352
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: going into the year of that Mike Evans would be

353
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: in that group, but he the way that inconsistent. It

354
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: just hasn't happened. You don't put keenan Allen in there.

355
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: Third round. Here we go, third round. Yeah, I mean,

356
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: I just didn't know if you want to do made

357
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: meet my words. Made said that, like before the game,

358
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: you're like, this dude is about to happen the whole

359
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: world day. And I mean he was good. I stand again,

360
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: I stand by what I said, like like he's not

361
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: the worst of the one receiver that they place. He's

362
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: not as good as like Julio Jones. Yes, between those two. Right,

363
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to I can't even focus on who they

364
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: who's the best number ones that they've played? But he's

365
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: not who is the best number one they've played. He's

366
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: not in the top like three number ones that they've played.

367
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: Probably if I had to think about it, we don't

368
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: have to go there. Yeah, I have to go back,

369
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: and he made me my words. I'm sorry. I know

370
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: keenan Allen's list. Did he have the best day of

371
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: a wide receiver the Cowboys a face this year? Yes?

372
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: By far? Yeah, Okay, it's Josh Gordon in there. Best

373
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: receivers Josh Gordon. We'll see he might come back and

374
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: have a two hundred yard day. He does that. Sometimes

375
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: you can find a stud receiver in the third round

376
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: that's all I'm trying to say. Okay, go find them.

377
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is I'm not I don't think I'm

378
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: just satisfied with saying, go and get a track guy.

379
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: They may have deficiencies out there, go and get me

380
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: a guy that can actually play the position. Because I

381
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: think right now, one of the problems with the Cowboys

382
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: receivers that you hear all the time is they're not

383
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: great route runners. Well, throwing another guy out there in

384
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: the mix is not a great route runner. He's a

385
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: one trick pony that can just run a nine route.

386
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if that necessarily helps you in the Yeah,

387
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: And I think it all comes down to what happens

388
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: with Dez. I mean, because if you have Dez on

389
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: this team, then you could just need need a speed

390
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: guys going anywhere. Okay, well you just need a speed guy.

391
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,239
Speaker 1: Then you just need a guy that can run, like

392
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: Dave saying third round whatever, But you want that guy

393
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: that can do everything. That's a difference maker, number one

394
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: receiver with speed. Yeah, those guys usually go higher than

395
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: what the Cowboys are gonna pick. Yeah, I think I'm

396
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: okay with that. Stefon Diggs and Adam Feeling are both

397
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: late round guys, are they? I don't even know if

398
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling was drafted, Nah, he wasn't. Diggs was a

399
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: fifth round Heeland is one of those kind of guys

400
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: though that I think that you know, he just kind

401
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: of fits his role really really well. Um. I mean, Diggs,

402
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: what makes him special is you write the speed is

403
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: what makes him special, Like he can get down, feel

404
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: and get open and you just don't have any answer

405
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: for it. But that kind of guy's also going to

406
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: be inconsistent. Some games he's gonna have big players other

407
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: games he's not. So you know that there was a

408
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: speed guy drafted seventh overall, could do everything Pump return

409
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: from the Rams Tavon Austin has not, hasn't done extremely

410
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: and consistent. Yeah, gotta be careful with that. I mean

411
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: there's cases for everything. But I just Cooper Cup third

412
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: round pick is runner. Is he really fast? He's No,

413
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: he's not, but it's a good receiver. Yeah he is.

414
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: I mean he's a great route runner. He's got an

415
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: awesome hands. He's not super fast, but it makes some

416
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: really outstanding catches this year as he's awesome. Yeah, I

417
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: just I don't know. Just seemed like a white receiver

418
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: right there. Just good hands, not a super fast, good

419
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: route runner. Yeah, but he makes plays. He does, he

420
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: makes plays. No, that's fine, That's definitely fine, Adam. I

421
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys could use a guy like that. Doesn't matter, yep,

422
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: just somebody that can make plays right now. And you

423
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: know another thing that this team is lacking in. You know,

424
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: Dak said it. I know we talked about this on

425
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: the show, but I mean, just make some plays when

426
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: when the balls in their hands, I mean, break a

427
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: tackle or three every now and again. That's that's one thing.

428
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: And Dak hasn't. I mean, Dez has not done that

429
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: at all this year. You know they get the ball

430
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: to does he hasn't. I bet you the guy that's

431
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: got once in Arizona. It was a great play when

432
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: he I mean he duke Peterson and like which bowled

433
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: his way into the end zone. Feels like it happened

434
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: about five years. Oh yeah, Frederick's touchdown. But that's the

435
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: only one that's really surprising to me is DEAs Like

436
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: those are guys those aren't. They aren't. That's not their game.

437
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: But that is DES's game. That's what's the part that's

438
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: surprising that needs some help. Those those kind of plays

439
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: more as close as Days and Terrence are, or they

440
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: seem to be on and off the field, they're not

441
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: good together. They both need a different type of receiver

442
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: on the other side. In my opinion, they both could be.

443
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: You know, he just doesn't He needs a better number

444
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: two and Terrence needs a different number one, different type

445
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: of number one. All right, let's take our first break.

446
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 1: We'll come back. We're gonna jump into the Cowboys versus

447
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: the Redskins. Dave's going to give us a scoutter import

448
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: on both the offense and defense. Will do when you

449

470
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys go way back. They belong together

471
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: like Texas and football, Silver and Blue shotgun formations and

472
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,959
Speaker 1: Hail Mary's. Having a Cowboys football party without Doctor Pepper

473
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: is like having thanks Giving without the Cowboys. Basically, we

474
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,160

00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: or whatever else kind of gate, grab some ice cold

00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: second segment of the show, Live from the SWBC Mortgage studios.

490
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: At the staff talking about Cowboys versus Redskins. Dave, let's

491
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: do a shatter for these guys. All right, we'll take

492
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: it real quick, especially because we've already played these guys,

493
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: but have we? Yeah? I was actually like, back when

494
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were playing really well we really What I'm

495
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: saying is he really played them the same team we're

496
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: about to face it well in so many ways, yes,

497
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: because they're still dealing with all the same stuff they were,

498
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: Like their offensive line is still a nightmare. Okay, yeah,

499
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: I mean you saw the injury report yesterday, right, let

500
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: me pull that. It had a lot of guys on.

501
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: It's got a ton of guys, five linemen, but the

502
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: injury report. Four of them are the starters, I believe,

503
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: and then the backup tackle who's been backing up for Trent.

504
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: Trent Williams is on. He's on the list all season long,

505
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 1: like he's gonna be dealing with his knee, and he

506
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: did not practice and did not play last week, did

507
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: not play. Ty and Secki's his backup. He played left tackle.

508
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: Brandon Sheriff's probably gonna play, but yeah, he's on the report.

509
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: Chase rul Yer, Rule Yer probably h he's their backup center.

510
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: Spencer longs out, so he's on the injury report as well.

511
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: Morgan Moses has been dealing with an ankle since around

512
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: the time the Cowboys played him. He's probably gonna play,

513
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: but yeah, so your starting line is not in much

514
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: better shape than it was the last time we saw them.

515
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: Um Ari Quanjo is probably the guy that's gonna play

516
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: left guard. They brought him in in the time since

517
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: Tony Bergstrom is the center. If Rulier can't go so like,

518
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they're dealing with a lot of issues here.

519
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: But also, like we alluded to, Chris Thompson is now

520
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: on IR after he heard himself in New Orleans and

521
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong. I think we all said

522
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: at last game he was the guy that scared us

523
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: most of that offense he was having I mean, like

524
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: Lance Dunbar but way better. Like remember how Lance Dunbar

525
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: was on pace for like one hundred catches or whatever,

526
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: Like he was having that type of season, but he

527
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: had sustained it for way longer. Um. But so here

528
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: they come out. They remember they drafted some aj p

529
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: Ryan at Ou, who's good running back, solid running back, solid,

530
00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: just workman like bulldozer guy, like doesn't really wow you

531
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: with anything that he does, but he's just a solid

532
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: all around guy. He had twenty like Alfred Morris. Yeah,

533
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: twenty four carries for one hundred yards. That I mean

534
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 1: that hasn't been their style since Rob Kelly got hurt.

535
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: Really and still the answer to a trivia question, no, no,

536
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,959
Speaker 1: because did he break Gordon's record the week after all? Right?

537
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 1: Then yeah, as far as I know, he still has

538
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: the records rushing yards in a game college football, which

539
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: bums me out because Darius Guys has come really close

540
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: a couple of times. Right, what's the record thirty six?

541
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: Oh never mind, No, Darius Guys never came close to that,

542
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: and like four hundred. I thought the record was like

543
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: three twenty something. That's NFL. I don't know whatever. Darius

544
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: Guys never played the NFL, not yet yet. He's on

545
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: his way. He's coming. Um twenty four carries one hundred yards,

546
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: like just much more straight, straight ahead, just running the ball, like,

547
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what they have, That's what they gotta do.

548
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: Like Rob Kelly's hurt, Thompson's on ir he Ryan's like

549
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: really their only viable running back left now. They gave

550
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: up six sacks in this game to the Giants, like

551
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: their offensive line is and probably will continue to be

552
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: a problem. Jordan Reid was ruled out of last week's game,

553
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: and he is also on the report with a hamstring,

554
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: so Vernon Davis and Niles Paul are probably the guys

555
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 1: you're looking at. I think that could be huge for

556
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys just in the sense of that's one less

557
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: tight end. I mean, they've done pretty well against Davis

558
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: is not a bad tight hint up, Oh he's not.

559
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: And he's he's having like a career renaissance up there.

560
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: So like he's a guy to watch. But I like

561
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: their odds of dealing with him a lot better if

562
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: they don't also have to deal with Josh Reid or

563
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: Josh Reid Jordan Reid. Josh Reid was an LSU wide receiver.

564
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: Let's say I don't know that Josh with his work.

565
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: Josh Docson, Yes, he's coming on, he's looking. He's looking

566
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: like he's a guy that scares you if he gets

567
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: a going, because he's a guy that can catch balls

568
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: all over the place. He scares me because the cowboy

569
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: secondary hasn't been that great at covering guys in the

570
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: first place. But like he's he's making catches when he's

571
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: well covered, So what can he do if he's not

572
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: well covered? Um, he looks like a first round he

573
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: looks like the first round pick that he was. And

574
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: then if you're looking for like I think, and this

575
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: shouldn't be surprising, but the way that they're replacing Chris Thompson,

576
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: at least through one game, it looks like Jamison Crowder

577
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: does even more of that. He had ten targets, seven receptions,

578
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty one yards in a touchdown. And

579
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,239
Speaker 1: he's fast, but like he's not the guy that you

580
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: send down the field outside the numbers, like he does

581
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: a lot of his stuff underneath a lot of crossing routes,

582
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: a lot of bubble screens for the most part. Yeah,

583
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: and but he did. And when I think about the

584
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 1: first game of the season, first game they played, when

585
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: it like early in the game where he was streaking

586
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: down the field and that was the first big like

587
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: he did it last year. I want to say, I

588
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 1: don't mean to say that he can't do it, like

589
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: the stuff that scares me, Like if you remember the

590
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: first game up there, he was the guy who just

591
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: crossed the field from the slot and got just he

592
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: just was behind everybody and was standing there in front

593
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: of the safeties. It was like a forty one yard gain.

594
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: I think he just got lost. And that's you know,

595
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: Brian talks about it all the time, like just lose

596
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: him in the trash, like he'll just cross the whole

597
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: formation and like the guys trailing him get picked off

598
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: by their own guys and all of a sudden nobody's

599
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: covering him. Like, that's what scares me. And if he

600
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 1: gets that kind of lead, he's fast enough where he'll

601
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: turn it into a score. Yeah, and again samaj p

602
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: Ryan's a good player, but he's not like a dynamic

603
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: running back. He's not a pass catcher. So he did

604
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: have three receptions for thirty yards, but he's not Chris Thompson,

605
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. And I think they probably look

606
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: at Crowder to fill that role or try to fill

607
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: that role of you know, slot stuff, short passes, swing routes,

608
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: wheel routes, crossing routes, all that type of stuff. So

609
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: I think it's it's a lot of the same stuff.

610
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: But the thing that I'm curious about is like I

611
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: would imagine they're going to try to run the ball

612
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: much more smash mouth with this, you know, current group

613
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: of personnel defensively, Uh, well, we got to start with

614
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: the injury report again, Like it's I'm it's unbelievable how

615
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: many things these guys are dealing with. Martrell Spate is

616
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: limited with an ankle. Um Monte Nicholson's starting safety, has

617
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: a concussion and did not participate. Terrell McClean, our old

618
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: friend toe did not participate. Yeah, yeah, that's different. Matt Aonidas,

619
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: who is also he's another defensive Oh wow, that was Shade.

620
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: Where'd you get your degree? That was Shade? Yeah? Right? What?

621
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: Uh he played the first game, didn't he? Yeah? Yeah,

622
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: that he'd been a He had a pretty healthy season,

623
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: is what I've been getting to. Matt Ionias, who has

624
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: been really good for them on their defensive line, has

625
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: handed ankle injuries. He was not as smooth as you'd

626
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: think you are. I'm just saying I went right past it.

627
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: Like I was like, oh, yeah, he's hurt, Derek, what's

628
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: your problem? No, but like you were no problem, Okay,

629
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: I just asked where you got your degree from? Zach Brown,

630
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: their best line back is limited with shoulder and achilles injuries.

631
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: Now a lot of these guys are limited on Monday,

632
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: which is good signs for their availability, but clearly they're

633
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: not at full strength. Of course, they got the guy

634
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: back from the last game. They do have Josh Norman back,

635
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: thank you. That matters. He will be playing in this game.

636
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: He will be on the left side. Look, he doesn't

637
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: he doesn't travel a lot. He can, but he doesn't

638
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: do it a lot. But I would imagine he'll be

639
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: ondaz a decent amount. Yeah. Um, DJ Sweringer, who like

640
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: I've always been down. I've always thought of him as

641
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: like he's like the guy that's always trying to lower

642
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: the boom, and more often than not he misses. But

643
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: he's got like three picks in the last three weeks

644
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: or something like that. He's so he's playing well. And

645
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: then you have Kerrigan and Preston Smith as your Russians,

646
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: which is especially concerning since now both of the Cowboys

647
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: offensive tackles are gimpy right now. So I mean, we'll

648
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: see what that means. But the Cowboys lineup on Sunday

649
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: was Chads Green and Byron Bell, and I don't like

650
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: that one bit. I can't Ryan Kerrigan and Preston that

651
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: guy always plays well. Kerrigan, Yeah, he's a good play

652
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean he does it every week. Like you know,

653
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, I was, I was thinking about this to

654
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense. You know how we saw the Chargers

655
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: do it in the Redskins have done it where you know,

656
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: just guys are just streaking across the field. You know,

657
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: next thing you know, there's is wide open. Dallas never

658
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: seems to do that, and I think it goes back

659
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: once again for the ninety seventh time that when you

660
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: have speed, you have guys that can I mean, you

661
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: have guys that can open up that middle there when

662
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: nobody's going forty yards down the field and not only

663
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: going eighteen nineteen yards, then the middle's never opened, you

664
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's there's never this wide open space.

665
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: So that's why I think that this team needs to

666
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: use a little bit more of the field vertically to

667
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: open up those things like that. And you got to

668
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: have a good offensive line that can block long enough

669
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: for that play to develop like that, but you just

670
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: never seeing that they have enough room that way. Somebody's

671
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: got to be taken it deep, right, don't you think

672
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: part of that though? If you gotta have you gotta

673
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: get open. And that seems to be what what I'm

674
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: hearing more often than not as one of the big

675
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: problems is even if you got a guy going deep,

676
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: if he never can shake loosely anyone and if there's

677
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: never a guy that's actually open, it depends if he

678
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: takes the safety with him. That's the key. Does he

679
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: take a safe I'm saying, even if even if he

680
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: takes the safety with him. If you got guys underneath

681
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: it were in man coverage and they can't get open,

682
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: then are you still in the same position. Well, that's

683
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: that's the point. If if say Bryce Butler has got

684
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: to step on his corner and the safety has to

685
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: go back with them. So there's two guys now forty

686
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: yards down the field, and you're blocking pretty well up front,

687
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: and you've got a quarterback that can buy a time.

688
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: I would think any receiver in the NFL could probably

689
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: get open. I mean, can figure out a way to

690
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: find the open man. Anybody can get open if you

691
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: give him six seconds, That's what I'm saying. But they

692
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: don't have that much room because the routes aren't going deep. Whatever.

693
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: I don't know anything. What do y'all think about Kirk Cousins.

694
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: I like him. I think he's a good quarterback. I

695
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: think he is. I think if Washington lets him walk

696
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: out of the door this next offseason without giving him

697
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: a new contract, I think it's a dumb move. I

698
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,479
Speaker 1: think I agree with you like I have. I mean,

699
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: he's not the best quarterback in the league, but I

700
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: think he's about as good as you can reasonably expect

701
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: to find again, Like you know, you're you're not just

702
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: gonna find a guy as good as him if you

703
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: let him go. He's good enough. He's good enough that

704
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: if you give him the right parts, you can have

705
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: yourself a team that can compete. And that's the whole

706
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: point of the NFL. You've got to have a quarterback

707
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: that's good enough to give you a chance to compete.

708
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: He's good enough. He's certainly good enough. Sixty six percent

709
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: on the year and three thousand yards already with another

710
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: month to play, nineteen touchdowns, six picks. I think he's

711
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: really good. I mean, yeah, he could use some help,

712
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: and he's good for like a bone headed mistake or

713
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: two now and then, especially like from Traffa do too much,

714
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: Like he's not he's not on the Rodgers level. But

715
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: I think he's a really good quarterback. And it's crazy,

716
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: like a report came out after they beat the Giants

717
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: that the Redskins want to see more and he even said,

718
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: he was like, if you want to, Okay, Like I'd

719
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 1: like to think I've got a big enough body of

720
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: work that five more games isn't really going to make

721
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: that much of a difference. But Okay, it doesn't matter

722
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: because for him, when they don't franchise him this year,

723
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: if they don't offer him the right contract, there will

724
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 1: be I know, there will be a list of teams

725
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: that will be lining up for his services because they

726
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: will see the fact that he is certainly good enough

727
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: to win in this league. I would hire him as

728
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: if I needed a quarter the quarterback I'm trying to

729
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: think of, like where he could go now that San

730
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: Francisco is no longer an option, well that the Denver

731
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 1: they could be. Just because San Francisco getting Jimmy Garoppolo

732
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: doesn't mean is it is this deal up after this

733
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: year next year Jimmy Roppolo, Ya, it's up soon. And

734
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: I you know, like people are like, hey, san Francisco

735
00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:59,959
Speaker 1: could try to trade him to somebody else just because

736
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,240
Speaker 1: they have him now, like whatever. So San Francisco Miami

737
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: denvers an option for Jacksonville. So there's teams out there

738
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: that are looking for quarterbacks that'd be very happy to have.

739
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: I think it would be awesome if he left the division.

740
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: That great for the Cowboy Yeah, absolutely, because then then

741
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: what is Whington hive? Though he's one in five against

742
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and that's I mean, it's not for lack

743
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: of trying, Like we can pull up his stats in

744
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: those games. I mean, he's a good quarterback and I

745
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: would prefer if the Redskins didn't have one. He's a

746
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 1: good quarterback. But the problem is is that people want

747
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: the elite quarterbacks. You know, when Romo was probably almost

748
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: entire career, he was probably five to ten in the

749
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 1: opending on what year he was at. Yeah, but always

750
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: like right there. He just never was the elite. And

751
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: there's not thirty two elite quarterbacks, and so Cousins that's

752
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: where Cousins is. And I don't think Cousins is five

753
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: to ten, but I think Cousins is probably ten to fifteen.

754
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: And but that's fine though, I mean there's always there's

755
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: always guys like that. I mean, like it's just kind

756
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: of frustrating for a team because it's like somebody like Cincinnati,

757
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: like he's your guy, you paid him, he's your guy,

758
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: but he's just not that good. Yeah. But I'll say

759
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 1: this kind of in the same boat. I mean, Stafford's

760
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 1: really good. It puts up a lot of stats, but

761
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: he's good for a bonehead player, you know, one or

762
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: two a game. But you're describing Romo. That's fine, and

763
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: I think I think that's the point. Though, you're stuck

764
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: with them, That's what I'm saying. You're stuck with them

765
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: because you have to sign him. You're stuck with that

766
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: quarterback for a while. And he's not gonna be Brady

767
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: Rogers or Breeze. But that's the problem. That's the best

768
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: you're going to do. You're not gonna get Brady. If

769
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: you're waiting for Brady Rogers or Breeze to show up

770
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: in your building, then you're probably gonna be waiting for

771
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: very very same thing Romo did. Romo was always good

772
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: enough to get you eight and eight or better. And

773
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 1: so you're not picking where the Eagles were to get wins.

774
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: You're not able to do that. Son. Then at that

775
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: point you have to surround them with the right talent

776
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: in order to make use their skills. But they can't

777
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: be just it can't be Guessler. To be fair, the

778
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: Eagles picked like fourteenth that year. They did drastic things

779
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: to get up there and get him. But yeah, um,

780
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: but you know what, though, like I think, like like

781
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: Derek said, like that's as good as you can hope

782
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: for at the end of the day. As amazing as

783
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: they are, Rogers and Breeze have won one Super Bowl,

784
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: and they did that with the help of, like, I mean,

785
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: those were great supporting casts. He had, like Charles Woodson

786
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 1: on his defense, and they weren't great, and you know,

787
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: Breeze had the benefit of a defense that forced like

788
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: thirty six takeaways that year. And they've struggled to get

789
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: back there ever since. And and this year is the

790
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: year that they are doing well, but it's their defense

791
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: is back to playing like he was playing that year.

792
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: And the last time they were good before this, their

793
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: defense when they had Rob Ryan, their defense was second

794
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 1: in the league, magically, and then it fell off a cliff.

795
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 1: I just I've never really just thought he was that good.

796
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: And I think it goes back to this one game

797
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: that they played. I forgot what year. The Garson went

798
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: nuts on him from you know, and it was the

799
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: end of the game and he was fourth and ten

800
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 1: and he just, you know, he's getting rushed and this

801
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: is it. It's like, you're down by three, you gotta

802
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: go win the game. He throws it out of bounce

803
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: because you know, he saved the sack it's fourth and ten. Yeah, God,

804
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: boys took over kneeled the ball three times when we

805
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 1: got out of there. I think that happened sometimes, though,

806
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: when you have a young quarterback, young quarterbacks make young

807
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 1: quarterback decision. I know, well you say that, but I mean,

808
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: you wouldn't expect a senior in college to do that. No,

809
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: But I do think though, when you're playing in the

810
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 1: NFL and you're dealing with the NFL pass rush and

811
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: the speed of the NFL, sometimes you make decisions when

812
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: you're young because you're trying to get You're frantically trying

813
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: to I can see the Redskins frustration of wanting a

814
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: little better than that you're getting just not there is

815
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: what it is. Yet you can do that with a

816
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,959
Speaker 1: small sample size across the board, though, Like I didn't

817
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: even work here at the time. Y'all probably think I did,

818
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: But I watched the season ending lost to the Redskins

819
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: in twenty twelve. I watched on TV. I had no

820
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 1: idea I was ever going to work here, and the

821
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,240
Speaker 1: pick that Romo threw on that wheel route to basically

822
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: in the game, I was just like, yeah, it happens.

823
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: The worst thing I've ever seen in my life, Like

824
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: how that happened? You know, And then you form your

825
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: opinion of a guy based on that one play rather

826
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: than like a decade worth of work. You're just like, yeah,

827
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: he sucks, I get white out. His fans don't like him. Right.

828
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: Then you get here and you cover him and you

829
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: see him do all I mean twenty fourteen, and you

830
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: see all the plays, not just that one play that

831
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: was on high that was on Sports Center, right, and

832
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 1: it's and once you get an appreciation for all that

833
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: they do, then it's like you're a much better quarterback

834
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:15,760
Speaker 1: to people getting you know. And the thing about Romo

835
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 1: is last year he wasn't really getting that appreciation because

836
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: you know, Dad jumped in and did all these great things,

837
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: and it's like, see, you know, Romo was the problem.

838
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: Now as you see it this year, you're like, I

839
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 1: mean it's a little bit fifty fifty. I mean the

840
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: things that Dak is doing, Romo couldn't do. He couldn't run,

841
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, he couldn't take some of those hits that

842
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 1: in the Atlantic game. But I'm writing a column about

843
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: that right now. I can't wait to read it. Kind

844
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: of like the you don't know what you have till

845
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: it's gone slash. Not only that, but like appreciate what

846
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,959
Speaker 1: you have at the same like, I'm terrified that people

847
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: are going to start doing the same thing to Dak

848
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: that they did to Romo and that, like and it's

849
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: a career full of people just bashing you for really,

850
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: like my opinion, know no reason. Learn your lesson from

Speaker 1: what I mean? Oh got it nice? I thought, Oh,

00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: this is a women's that's a woman's. Yeah. Hey, I

00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: got a great man's cap here for you. What's up

912
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: with the toys here? The same mess? That's not a

913
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 1: net to keep the bobblehead? I know? This is actually

914
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: a great hat. It's it's called this one they put

915
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 1: in here for us a day. Actually like it. I'm

916
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: taking this one home. It's called the New Air of

917
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 1: Monochromet not monochromatic hat. I would put it home, but

918
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna mess up my frow, so I'm gonna keep

919
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: it off. But oh, I actually this this hat. Actually

920
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: it's half price right now. I'm sorry, Yeah, I think

921
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: got it's twenty nine ninety nine usually now it's only

922
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: fourteen ninety nine. So it's a good deal right now.

923
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: Going you know Thursday night, the Cowboys are gonna be playing. Um.

924
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,240
Speaker 1: You know they always have to change up the uniforms

925
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yep. Thursday night when the Cowboys play,

926
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: they'll be wearing their regular helmets as always. But this

927
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: helmet right here just looks cool too. I love it. Yeah,

928
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: blue wouldn't if they'll never wear but color rush. If

929
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,439
Speaker 1: the Cowboys one year went all Navy or all royal

930
00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: like that would be really cool, I do. They would

931
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:05,919
Speaker 1: probably would like to see a blue uniform like me too. Yeah,

932
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,720
Speaker 1: this is just still you know, still in a Cowboys uniform,

933
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: not like with a neck brace. Head said, and he's

934
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: not the Tennessee j See head coach. I didn't realize

935
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: his eyes were like this. This is a little creepy.

936
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: That's okay, as is Halloween. Jason Witten right here, it's

937
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 1: good though, still still playing with the Cowboys, though not

938
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: planning a coach right now. No, this week not a

939
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: story you expected to write yesterday. Hunt Dave been a

940
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 1: weird season, guys, It's been a real weird season. Jason

941
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: wappens like that sometimes. Jason Witten was like he looked

942
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: just as surprised as me. He was like, wait what

943
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: somebody did not help him out there? No, he did

944
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: not get a lot of it. Because that story was.

945
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you came into the podcast room yesterday talking

946
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,399
Speaker 1: about it. I knew about that at eight o'clock yesterday morning.

947
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: I don't think Jason Witten learned about it until like

948
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: one the locker one o'clock in the afterday. Huh huh, yeah,

949
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: wait what but he got to do what? He was

950
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 1: very careful with his answer, because it's not you know,

951
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: being the head coach of Tennessee right now in two

952
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: seventeen is ridiculous. But down the road or yeah, I

953
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: mean twenty twenty one. Yeah, there's no doubt in my mind,

954
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: he wants to be a coach. Well he said that yesterday. Yeah, yeah,

955
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 1: he said it. Coaching is something he has an interest

956
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: in his future. But like I would have imagine going

957
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: to play a game, I gotta I'm I just got

958
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,879
Speaker 1: done practicing for a game that I'm playing in. Right,

959
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: whatever whatever this next coach that ever that they hire,

960
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: that hopefully they can appease the Tennessee fans. But and

961
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: they can hire a coach, but whoever it is, let's

962
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: say he's the forty or thirty fifth coach ever in

963
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 1: Tennessee history. This this got'll be thirty six Wow, that's

964
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: what I think. Call your shot. So so Witton's probably

965
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 1: hoping they get someone, okay, not someone that's gonna be there,

966
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: just somebody that's okay, just win a little bit every

967
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: now and then and just warm the seat for him. Yeah.

968
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: All right, Um, let's go and jump into some questions

969
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: and numbers two on four, eight, seven to twenty one two,

970
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,919
Speaker 1: or you can use some Twitter at Cowboys break. Let's

971
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 1: start with a question from the phone lines that got

972
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: robed in Vegas. Rob what up? Hey, everybody? Hey, what's up?

973
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: You know we're talking about kick return his last kick

974
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 1: return on them and I was really fast? Was Randall

975
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 1: Williams for when paus Hills was here a couple of years,

976
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, to kept trying to get this guy in

977
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: the field, couldn't catch. His claim to fame was running

978
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 1: back that onside kick against Silly fastest touchdown history of

979
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: the NFL. That's what they say. It is talking about,

980
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 1: you know, moves. I see they're gonna bench probably Anthony Brown.

981
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: The two moves that I would like to be made

982
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,240
Speaker 1: pretty quickly is I think they got to get Byron

983
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: Jones out of safety position and move in the corner

984
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: I don't think he's built the play safety, and his

985
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: tackling style of jumping on your back and hanging on

986
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 1: until you fold out from the entire just doesn't work

987
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: at a safety. I think he's a better corner. And

988
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: let's get Dez to return punts. It's the best wide

989
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: receiver in football. Antonio Brown can do it. I think

990
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 1: we could risk Dez doing it, get him into the

991
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: flow of the game. And I think, you know, he's

992
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: an excitable play he could he could jump start this offense.

993
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: And I just think those are two moves they could

994
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 1: do Thursday and let's see what happens. I mean, we

995
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 1: got to win five in a row to have a

996
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: chance at the playoffs, so I'd like to see that happen.

997
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: All right, Thanks so Cal. You know I've said that

998
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: about Dez and returning punts for a couple of years

999
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: down and I agree that. You know, you see other

1000
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: stars do it. Deshan Jackson had had done it for

1001
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 1: many years. Wes Welker did it when they were the starters.

1002
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: The only thing right now that I'm not sure it

1003
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 1: would work is because Dez isn't making anyone miss in

1004
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 1: the open field as a receiver, you know, so like now,

1005
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: it's a little different when you're playing kick returner because

1006
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: you don't have the same type of tacklers and they're

1007
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: running full speed and they're not you know, they're a

1008
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: little out of control, so you can maybe make some

1009
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 1: plays there. But you know, he hasn't really shown that

1010
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: ability of just get the ball in his hands and

1011
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: make plays. He hasn't done that this year. But it's

1012
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: it's an opportunity to give him a chance, and I

1013
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 1: would do it. There are great special teams players in

1014
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 1: the league, but they're not starters for a reason, like

1015
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,320
Speaker 1: they're I mean, they're not your front line tacklers. So

1016
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: I you know, i'd like to see him. I'd like

1017
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:21,439
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't want it to do it all the time.

1018
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: I've always said that, but like, I would give him

1019
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 1: a chance. But but what I would tell him is

1020
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: is like, if you're gonna do it, catch it. Go

1021
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: up there and catch it, because we're gonna put you

1022
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 1: in there. When they're pinning back at the ten yard line,

1023
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: the guy's standing in his end zone, he's gonna punt

1024
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 1: it to the midfield. You better catch it. Because if

1025
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 1: you decide that it's going a little crazy. I'd rather

1026
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: just let it bounce it. It goes thirty yards down

1027
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: to the twenty and you just killed the field position

1028
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: we gave you. That's not good. And Switzer does it

1029
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: too sometimes, you know. I mean, I don't care who

1030
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, the best punt returns the Cowboys

1031
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: have had have been the slowest guys other than Dion.

1032
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:59,320
Speaker 1: Dion was different. He was just insane. But guys like

1033
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:03,240
Speaker 1: Kelvin Patrick Crayton, they were really good. They weren't very fast,

1034
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: they just caught the ball. Swinton was fast. Regie Sinton

1035
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: was pretty fast. Yeah, just but got up the field.

1036
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: Just go whatever it is, don't worry about it. And

1037
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 1: you know what, you're gonna get hit. It's gonna hurt

1038
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: because they're going. So you gotta be a little crazy.

1039
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,399
Speaker 1: You gotta be looking really enjoy the that part of it. Yeah,

1040
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: whis are crazy and I'd be afraid of that part

1041
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: of it. Huh oh sorry. Um. Jason Garrett was asked

1042
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: about moving Byron yesterday and he said, no, So, I mean,

1043
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 1: maybe he'd be better at corner. I think Nick's been

1044
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: saying that since like week two, really, so maybe he

1045
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: would be. But and I'm sad about that because if

1046
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: you remember two years ago on this show and Brian

1047
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: and I argued about it a lot, I thought he

1048
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: was a safety from the start, and he thought he

1049
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:44,959
Speaker 1: was a corner, or at least set it at the time,

1050
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: and I saw I thought, you know, he needed to

1051
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: be a safety. And but Rob's right, and you know

1052
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: on the caller, because he doesn't tackle well enough to

1053
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 1: be a safety. He's got pretty good awareness, he's got

1054
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: good range and all that, But then again, is he

1055
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 1: is he that good of a cover guy? I was

1056
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: just what you say, like, I don't know that that

1057
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: his coverage skills are good enough for him to be

1058
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: a corner. So I almost think, you know how you

1059
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: hear about tweeters on the defensive front, I almost wonder

1060
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: if he's a twitter Like he's an okay cover guy,

1061
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: decent tackler, but not great at either one to make

1062
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: you say, oh, yeah, that safety for him? It may

1063
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 1: may yeah, that's the deadline to offer him a fifth

1064
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: year option? Would you do it? No? No, although, but

1065
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 1: I don't know where I would argue. He's made some

1066
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: really fantastic plays in coverage, like throughout his career. I

1067
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: don't know that I trust him to do it eighteen

1068
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 1: times a game, like as an outside corner. Really, this

1069
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,399
Speaker 1: isn't what you want to hear about your first round pick.

1070
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 1: But like his his best role to this point has

1071
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 1: just been like when he covers the tight end and

1072
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 1: he's like a dime back type of good. He's out

1073
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 1: there in situations where there's extra defensive backs on the field.

1074
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 1: That's That's the other thing to consider here. Most of

1075
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 1: those plays you've probably seen him, he's been covering it

1076
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: ends right, if he's a corner and having to cover.

1077
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I trust him to make good

1078
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:07,720
Speaker 1: plays and coverage against tight ends and maybe bigger wide receivers,

1079
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 1: but like not not the Julio Joneses of the world,

1080
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: at least not from what I've seen. Um yeah, paying

1081
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: kind of money for a slot corner, he's basically what

1082
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: he has become. You're you got to make a decision

1083
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: on his fifth year option in May, and we'll see.

1084
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: Now you just don't think it's worth it. I that's

1085
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 1: that's tough. I mean they didn't. They've they've been giving

1086
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 1: these guys their options because they've been good players. I

1087
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 1: mean it's been Zach and Travis and Tying. They did

1088
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: not offer Mo his and that was mainly because of

1089
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 1: injuries and got him back on a one year. Yeah,

1090
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 1: Byron's been available. You can say that for him, Like

1091
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 1: he's never missed a game? Has he? I don't think so,

1092
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: He's never missed again. He even been on the injury

1093
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 1: point like I'm trying. He was earlier this year really

1094
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: briefly remember like Thursday practice and yeah, he had a

1095
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 1: little something growing or something. So I mean he's available.

1096
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 1: He's good enough to be out there. He'll he'll make

1097
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: a play every now and then. But I don't know

1098
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: if that merits a fifth year option, I don't know.

1099
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see. Well, I think all part

1100
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 1: of that also has to be what do you think

1101
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 1: about Xavier Woods? Right? I mean, if you if you

1102
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 1: you're a lot of times what you do is dictated

1103
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 1: about what you have as well. Well. The other I believe,

1104
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 1: and I need to read up because I'm not in

1105
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 1: offseason mode right now, but I'm pretty sure that deadline

1106
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 1: is after the draft, so you could also wait and

1107
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,359
Speaker 1: see what you pick up in the draft. Right, So okay,

1108
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: and let's take a question from Twitter. Well, we alreadly

1109
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: talked about Tony Romo and Dak for a little bit,

1110
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: but here's a question. Can you guys compare the growth

1111
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,839
Speaker 1: that each of them have had during their second year.

1112
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 1: So if you were to compare Dak right now versus

1113
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: Tony Romo's growth in his second year, well, well it's

1114
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 1: tough to do because Romo's second year of playing was

1115
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: his fourth year the year. Yeah, so and you know Dak,

1116
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: Dak was prepared, you know, his senior year is playing

1117
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,839
Speaker 1: again Alabama and LSU in those tough places to play,

1118
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 1: while Romo really didn't have a big crowd until he

1119
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 1: got to the preseason game, you know, And so a

1120
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: tough comparison, but we'll try. Um. I don't know. I

1121
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 1: think that I think Romo is a little bit more

1122
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,800
Speaker 1: of a student of the game, you know, when it

1123
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,879
Speaker 1: when it comes to knowing where you know defenses are

1124
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: and knowing you know how to how to beat them,

1125
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: and so I think that he's got more development that way.

1126
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 1: But I think Dak's got more physical tools to kind

1127
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 1: of just when the lights come on, just kind of

1128
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: go make plays. Just kind of doesn't look pretty all

1129
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,399
Speaker 1: the time. But you know, and Romo did that as well.

1130
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: So I I was we talking about his second year

1131
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 1: as a starter. Yeah, yeah, I mean have to the

1132
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 1: second year as I was. I was a freshman in college,

1133
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 1: and I like, was was Romo like great at moving

1134
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,320
Speaker 1: guys and audibling at the line the way? What what

1135
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: actually what Romo was great at that early in his

1136
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: career was he was great at extending play. That's what

1137
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: he was great at. Like he had the ability on

1138
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: any given play. The play that always comes back to

1139
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 1: my mind as a game against the Rams, Boss gets

1140
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 1: snapped over his head, he runs back, he grabs it,

1141
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: he makes a little move, he gets the defense to

1142
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: kind of buy into maybe the fact that he's gonna

1143
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 1: throw it, but he runs it and he picks up

1144
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 1: I think two yards or something like that, right. But

1145
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:24,760
Speaker 1: the fact is it was one of the most remarkable

1146
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 1: players you ever want to see. That sums up what

1147
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,360
Speaker 1: he was early in Okay. But but here's the difference

1148
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:33,879
Speaker 1: though that that mentality was I can make this play.

1149
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: I am good enough to make this play. And what

1150
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes he'd get down in the red zone and there

1151
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: would be a linebacker here in a safety here, and

1152
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: he said, I can make that throw right between you. Didn't.

1153
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:46,799
Speaker 1: It was intercepted, and that in Bill Parcels is now

1154
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: yelling at you, and he discriminate throws. And he did

1155
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 1: that even twenty twelve when you weren't even with the

1156
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys yet. He was just kind of doing like flip

1157
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,240
Speaker 1: passes with the season on the line and getting intercepted.

1158
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: And Brett far did that his whole career as well.

1159
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: One of his last throws ever with the Vikings was

1160
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 1: helped the Saints gets to the super Bowl. So he's

1161
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 1: when it's in you, it's still in you. But Dak

1162
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 1: is better than that. Like Dak has been like taught, trained, brainwashed,

1163
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: whatever it is, like, he doesn't really make those that often.

1164
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: And so I guess that's the point I was gonna

1165
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:23,240
Speaker 1: make before Dave started talking about that, is I actually

1166
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:25,320
Speaker 1: think that if you want to look at Dak and

1167
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 1: Tony at this at the same stage in their career,

1168
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 1: I actually think that they were very similar from the

1169
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: standpoint that they both could make plays by extending by

1170
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,879
Speaker 1: extending plays. But I do think from a standpoint of Romo,

1171
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 1: I think he was way more reckless with the ball

1172
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 1: at this stage than Dak is okay, and here Dak

1173
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 1: is like history and mean, it's a bad time to

1174
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,399
Speaker 1: talk about it because he's got five turnover the last

1175
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,879
Speaker 1: two games, but he's been historically good with the ball

1176
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 1: for such a young player. If Zeke comes back and

1177
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: these last two games that he plays and gets somehow

1178
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 1: gets two hundred and thirty yards and gets to a thousand,

1179
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,840
Speaker 1: that'll get that'll be the second one thousand yard rusher

1180
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: that's played with Dak. And I think Tony has three

1181
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,319
Speaker 1: so and all of his career, and Dak would have two.

1182
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,800
Speaker 1: That just goes to show that they had different offenses

1183
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:16,320
Speaker 1: around them as well. Julius Jones went for a thousand

1184
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 1: and four yards like his first year, and then not

1185
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 1: until DeMarco, not until DeMarco had a couple And in fact,

1186
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 1: if you really want to say Romo as a full

1187
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:26,879
Speaker 1: time starter, because he wasn't a full time starter, no. Six.

1188
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 1: So if you want to say it's this full time

1189
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 1: starter that he's had two in his career, and Dak

1190
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: has a good chance to get too. Obviously would have

1191
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 1: had two. Zequinn and I think that his ability to

1192
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 1: be able to because they really they were I won't

1193
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 1: say they put it all on his back because they

1194
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 1: still with Marian Barber. They were efficient running the ball.

1195
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:44,839
Speaker 1: That was a big part of their offense, and they

1196
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 1: had a good offensive lineback then too. So I think that,

1197
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, you could probably make a case that both

1198
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: of them, and at this stage of their career, everything

1199
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily heaped on them. They had other parts to

1200
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: the team they I think back then they had a

1201
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 1: better defense that Romo was working with then what they

1202
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: got right now Dallas probably not as big stretch to

1203
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: say hit in Dallas set an NFL record for Pro

1204
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: Bowlers and Romo's second season, and that's not always a

1205
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: good indicator saying yeah, I got like thirteen of them

1206
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: or something. When they have a good season, they get

1207
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:15,440
