Speaker 1: give me a fifty four. Woh Man, h Randy White,

14
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean he's the he's the best. Him

15
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: and Chuck Halley, I mean he got two in the

16
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: Ring of Honor. And then they've tried over the years

17
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: to make it a good number for other guys. It

18
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: just hasn't always worked out. So yeah, everybody, everybody freaks

19
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: out about given eighty eight to somebody, but they give

20
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: out fifty four. No, no, no, they try to give

21
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: it to good players, just nobody plays it up the

22
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: way that they tried with Bobby Carpenter. They tried with

23
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: Bruce Carter, they tried with Jalen Smith, you know, and

24
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 1: it just didn't work. Guys that you would think maybe

25
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: could take the mantle, but nobody just has. But for

26
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: the fun of the game, let's say Darren Hambrick, Darren Hambrick,

27
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: what do oh? Yes, God. The funniest thing was when

28
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: he was holding out sort of and wanted a new

29
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: contract and said, and he told everybody in the media, Hey,

30
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: I want a twenty five square foot house as well.

31
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: That's what he said, twenty five square foot house. So

32
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: the guys in the training room him made this little

33
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: cardboard house out of twenty five square feet and gave

34
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: it to him and all that. And yeah, Darren hambrigs special,

35
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: where's he now? I don't know. Actually, I really think

36
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: that would be a good documentary on he and his

37
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: brother two brothers played for the Cowboys. How about a

38
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: documentary on brothers that have played for the Cowboys. The

39
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: brothers are brothers, Jesus E r S brothers. Just checking

40
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: checking this, Yeah, let's do that. Then the scope on

41
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: the other one would be really, we got a lot.

42
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: That's a good story, right, Yeah, I think I think

43
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: there are seven pairs of brothers that have played for

44
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Seven many how many together? Maybe like five

45
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 1: or six? Um. I mean you got you got the

46
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: you got the Hambrigs, you got the Garretts, you got

47
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: Remi Adel And, you got Rod Smith, Jalen Smith, you

48
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: got Emery Smith for a little bit with him at

49
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: Smith just o it's a second. Um, I think I'm missing.

50
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: That's somebody. I can't believe it's many. Martellis Bennett did

51
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: not play with Michael Bennett, but they both played. Yeah, yeah,

52
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: and I still feel like there's one more so Damn,

53
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: that's wild. That is that's crazy Hambricks. I love the

54
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: way this game. Most famous number fifty four Jersey and

55
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: in the history of NFL or Cowboys. No, that was

56
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: my Google search. I mean was Chuck Howley. I say,

57
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: somebody's pissed that we haven't mentioned Howley. Ye at this point, well,

58
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: I said to ring of other guys, ring, Yeah, fifty

59
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: four fifty four, both those guys you mention, Um, but

60
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: but you know, Randy White might be one of the

61
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: best NFL players ever at fifty four. I mean I can't.

62
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: I can't think of other guys that played at fifty

63
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: four off the top of my head. I mean, like,

64
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: if you think about for me anyway, let's go back

65
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: childhood like that. That was like Manster was everything that

66
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: was he endorsed. We didn't do it. I didn't do

67
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: fifty three yesterday, we did. You know, one of my

68
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: favorite players, he he wasn't as good as I guess

69
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: he's in the eighties, but he had the perfect name

70
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: for a linebacker. His name was Garth Jacks j a

71
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: X Garth Jacks. He played like in the eighties. Fifty

72
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: three sounds like Madden creative character or like yeah yeah,

73
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: like like he sounds like he should play next to

74
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: Layton Vander Riley. Stepnoski is probably the answer there. But

75
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: Garth Jacks was always he's kind of yeah, all right.

76
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: I love the way this little game sends us down

77
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: the most random rabbit holes. For at the start, of course,

78
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: if our quarterbacks gonna play, yeah, now, of course, what

79
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna do is we're gonna switch gears. We're gonna

80
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: have Bucky Brooks bring us back on track Buck, he's

81
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: joining us right now. We're gonna talk a little uh

82
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: Denver defense versus Cowboys offense. Bucky. Let's start first with

83
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: the fact that as I was looking through this this team,

84
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: UH names that I was very familiar with don't appear

85
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: to be there. Bradley Chubb, on Ir Von Miller, Miller

86
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: no longer there. So kind of walk me through real quick.

87
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: Who are the players the playmakers this defense that Dallas

88
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: fans should be aware of as they enter this game.

89
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: I mean, a lot of the best playmakers they're in

90
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: the secondary, Justin Simmons, passer ten. Those are the guys

91
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: that have been able to get it done. And so

92
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: Big Fan Joe's had to kind of change up in

93
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: style and go more coverage than pressure because the best

94
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: players that he has are in the back end as

95
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: opposed to the front end. And so what he would

96
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,679
Speaker 1: trying to do is trick the quarterback, give him different looks,

97
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: change the disguises and the pre snap phase of it,

98
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: and hope that they can bait the quarterback into making mistakes.

99
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: But it's not the defense that we thought we would

100
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: see from the Broncos when you would have a Von

101
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: Miller and a Bradley Chub and the past rushers dictating

102
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: they don't have that kind of talent, so it's more

103
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: trickery and gimmicks and smoking mirrors to produce big plays

104
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: as opposed to their talent overwhelming you. Yeah the question, Yes,

105
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: I do, Bucky. With all due respect to the broncos

106
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: physical talent, I'm a lot more interested in the psychology

107
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: of this week for them. And I mean, you worked

108
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: on that side in the NFL and you were a

109
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: player as well. The Broncos are five hundred, they're technically

110
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the at least the wild

111
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: card race, and they obviously traded away one of their

112
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: best ever players, and they also traded away a guy

113
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: they just drafted. And I'm just curious about the psychological

114
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: effect that that would have on a locker room and

115
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: should they be worried about that that that seems like

116
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: something that might piss some guys off. Well, one of

117
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: the things that happens is when your team underperformed. Because remember,

118
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: coming into the year, everyone felt like the Broncos were

119
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback away from being able to compete. We thought

120
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: they had an all star defense, we thought they had

121
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: a ton of talent on offense, and all they need

122
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: to do is drop a quarterback like a Teddy Bridgewater

123
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: that could manage the game in a way they would go.

124
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: It hasn't turned out like that. And so what happens

125
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: is you now have a coach who's on the hot seat.

126
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: You now have a general manager, which Pat who didn't

127
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: hire the coach, who's trying to look at the team

128
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: and evaluate the team and also accumulate picks to reshape

129
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: the team and the vision that he has for them.

130
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: And so everyone is on alert. And when you don't

131
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: win games to the level of expectation, people find their

132
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: way out the door. And so everyone's antenna's up because

133
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: everyone now is fighting for their job and on top

134
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: of trying to put themselves in a position to go

135
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. Obviously, the Cowboys wanted Patrick certain and

136
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: they wanted JC Horn and it didn't work out, and

137
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: so now here comes Patrick Certain and you know, Michael

138
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: Parsons is playing how he's playing. Do you think that

139
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: it's one of those deals where the Cowboys are fortunate

140
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: it went the way it you know went, or do

141
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: you still look at it and go man digs and

142
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: this other guy would have been an outstanding tandem. I

143
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: think Michael Parsons is a better player, and I think

144
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: we'll look back in history and Michael Parsons will show

145
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: to be a better player. He's more impactful because as

146
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: much as we love warnerbacks, a guy who is at

147
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, an edge player who can impact

148
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: the game not only with sacks and tackles for lass,

149
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: but also being a second level defender that can snuff

150
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: out tight ends in those things, he has more impact

151
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: than a corner Because as much as I love Pastor

152
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: ten and he's played great as a rookie, I don't

153
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: think he's delivered as many impact plays as Michael Parsons has.

154
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: And in Dallas's defense, Michael Parsons is more impactful than

155
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: what Pastor ten would have been able to do with

156
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,239
Speaker 1: or without Trayvon Diggs playing to the level that he's playing.

157
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: So yesterday I was watching some practice footage and looking

158
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: at some of the things that the old line was

159
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: doing in their drills and all that off to the side,

160
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying this is really going to be

161
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: an indication of where his level is at. But Layle Collins,

162
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: what he was doing to me, he just seemed a

163
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: little bit slow in his movements compared to everybody else. Now,

164
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: who would be if he was the one going in

165
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: and play there at tackle this weekend. Who's the person

166
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: that would be lining up against him? And how does

167
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: that matchup really look like? I mean, he's fine this

168
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: week because this week he doesn't face a monster. Malik

169
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: Reid would be a guy that play on the side.

170
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: Jonathan Cooper would be another guy depending on how they

171
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: bump and kicked their front around, maybe a Draymond Jones,

172
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: but really he won't face a five star talent on

173
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: the other side. I think it's to be expected that

174
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: Leil Collins would look a little slower than the other

175
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: guys because the guys are in mid season form. You

176
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: played seven eight games, you're now kind of rounding in

177
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: the form and who you are. He hasn't played in

178
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: five games and so it's been a while, so you

179
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: have to knock the rust off. And really the only

180
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: way you can knock the rust off is getting in

181
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: games and kind of figuring it out. And so he'll

182
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: be fine down the line, and I think he has

183
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: enough savvy to kind of get through it. But yeah,

184
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect him to look like the other guys

185
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: because the other guys in mid season form. On that

186
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 1: same note, talking about that, the tackles talk to me

187
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: a little bit just from the standpoint of just football technique.

188
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: How difficult does that transition from left tackle or right

189
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: tackle to left tackle? I think a lot of times

190
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: when fans think about it, they think of it as

191
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: if you're a tackle, you're a tackle, you just kind

192
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: of slide over. But what is that transition like for

193
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: a player? And if you were having to make the decision,

194
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: would you go with the option of putting Steel over

195
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: there or Collins over there, or would you just roll

196
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: with Inzeki because he's actually been doing it something this year,

197
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: You know, I would and mess with Terrn Steele because

198
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: he's playing so well that right tackle. It's a difficult

199
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: transition because it's a different stance, it's different footwork. You're

200
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: seeing the pass rusher out of a different eye, and

201
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: so it can take a bit of a time to

202
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: do it. And sometimes some corners can't go from right

203
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: corner to left corner because the footwork is different and

204
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: they've had ten thousand hours on one side and minimal

205
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: time on the other side, and so it's uncomfortable. I

206
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: think a lot of it depends on how Joe fib

207
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: And has worked the rotations throughout practice, which is mix

208
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: it up to make sure that the swing tackles and

209
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: guys get enough time. For Lel Collins, I think a

210
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: lot of it depends on Look, he's very talented, he's good.

211
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: Is how good is he compared to who else you

212
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: would put their left tackle? Are you willing to live

213
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: with the struggles because you got a better player, or

214
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: is the other guy more refined in his technique that

215
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: he'll survive. I'm more apt to think, hey, put the

216
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: talented player there and let him figure it out. Cover

217
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: them up with the tide end some, but eventually Leil Collins,

218
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: as a pro and approach, should be able to figure

219
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: out how to play on that side. So everybody knows

220
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley and Vic Fangio are tied together. Staley is

221
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: a disciple of his, so I would expect it's a

222
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: similar mold of defense. At least overall, we know the

223
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys had a lot of success on the ground in

224
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: that Week two game the Broncos. They've been all right

225
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: against bad teams, but specifically against the Browns. I mean,

226
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: they've given up gaudy rushing totals and that was a

227
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: game when they didn't even have Nick Chubb. So I mean,

228
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean that just screams to me as a favorable

229
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,599
Speaker 1: matchup based on the talent and also the way that

230
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 1: they play. Are we are we right about that? What

231
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: do we think? Yeah, we're right about that, because here's

232
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: the new philosophy that's kind of taking hold in the

233
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: National Football League. Teams are playing more too deep coverages

234
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: to take the big play away. They're parking and safety

235
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: is in the parking lot, and they're saying, you can

236
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: have all the underneath stuff because when you get to

237
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 1: the twenties, it becomes a shorter field and you now

238
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: can't throw over the top of the defense, and that's

239
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: when we'll switch. That is something that Big Fangio and

240
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley believe in. Also, when you can see rushing

241
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: yards and this is blasphemous for some of the old

242
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators a round the league that used to say

243
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: stop the run, stop the run, stop the run. But

244
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: when teams run the ball, the odds of an explosive

245
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: play goes down dramasks dramatically because it's harder to create

246
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: those big plays on the ground. And so for the Cowboys,

247
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: hey man, I'll let Zeken Tony Pola run crazy, and

248
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: then we'll stiffen up and we'll say you can kick

249
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: field goals, not score touchdowns. The score will be within

250
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: range and we'll have a chance to win it at

251
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: the end. That's why those guys like Stanley and Fangio

252
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: are giving up more yards, because it's all about the

253
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: big plays and winning in the red zone as opposed

254
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: to dominating the yard of stats. All Right, that all

255
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: being said, Bucky, tell us what you think is gonna

256
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: happen Sunday Cowboys versus Broncos. Well, I mean I expecting

257
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: Cowboys to win. But I think this is still a

258
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: test of maturity. As we all are going in Crincy,

259
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys being Super Bowl contenders, we have a tendency

260
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: to kind of dismiss the other teams, to say, oh,

261
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: Dallas got this or whatever. The only thing I will

262
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: worry about if there's a level of complacency that we

263
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: see in the first quarter where the Cowboys don't take

264
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: care of business early. If they can jump out and

265
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: make the Broncos chase points. It's in their favor. But

266
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,599
Speaker 1: if they mess around and turn it over and have

267
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: people the ball flies over the head, then they go

268
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: in four four quarter game and the Broncos can knock

269
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: them off. I don't expect it to happen. I think

270
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys win, but they can't take the Broncos lightly.

271
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: All right, Bucky, appreciate you man. We'll check in with

272
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: you next week. We're gonna take our first break and

273
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: we come back. We'll talk a little bit more about

274
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: some injuries and some injury updates for the Cowboys. Will

275

Speaker 1: we need to at least get an update on. Uh, Dave,

331
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: you sat in on Mike McCarthy's press conference talking to

332
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: me about Dak? Where's Dak? What's he doing? Where are

333
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: we where? Back's gonna practice, Stack's gonna play. Let's go Okay,

334
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: there you go, moving on. Mike McCarthy made it that simple.

335
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, he's gonna practice, he gonna do

336
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: team today, and coaches hate giving stuff away. So everybody

337
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: in the media is like, so you think he might play?

338
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: What are we doing here? Yeah? No, They're like, so,

339
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: so what are we trying to say here? And Mike's

340
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 1: just like the plans for him to practice and play.

341
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: So I mean, as long as it looks fine today,

342
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: which I would assume it would, I think he's gonna play.

343
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: I think he's okay. Good. I'm not gonna let him

344
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: get another three hundred yard game and another win. I'm

345
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: just kidding. No, but but I am joking, but not really,

346
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: you know, Garretty, don't worry. Hold on, Garrett Gilbert was

347
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: had zero chin chance to unsee Dak Prescott at all. Yeah.

348
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: Do you think he liked we saw in hard Knock.

349
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: Do you think he liked him taking any reps away

350
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: from him? Like like he didn't like it. He got

351
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: pissed off by it. So I'm just saying a game.

352
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: He loves Cooper Ros. He wants to play well, he

353
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: wants to you know, he wants to get back there

354
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: for multiple reasons, but not else. He wants to compete.

355
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: He's a competitor. That's a quarter. That's what I'm saying.

356
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, yeah, all right, sebee lamb ankle ankle sprain. Um,

357
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: We'll see what he does. I mean, he was limited yesterday,

358
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: like he partook in practice. So again, what you do

359
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the week. Not always because Dak

360
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: was limited all week last week and didn't play, but

361
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: typically if you're doing stuff at the beginning, it gives

362
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: me a good feeling just in general. So something to watch,

363
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: but I'm not worried about that right now. Where's gallup

364
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: at this point, they are monitoring him. He is in

365
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: the second week of his window. He does not have

366
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: to be activated this week, but he could be there.

367
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: So they have opened roster. That's a weird thing about COVID.

368
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: We're talking about that with Cowboys pr earlier this week.

369
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: Like in the old days, the roster used to always

370
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: be at fifty three, and it was weird if it wasn't.

371
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: And now they're like, they'll go down to forty nine,

372
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: They'll go up to fifty two. They don't care because

373
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: you can elevate from the practice squad day of, you

374
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: can elevate from the injury list the day before. It

375
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: just doesn't matter the way that they used to. So, um,

376
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: I think they have two open roster spots right now

377
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: because they moved to Briel Cox to injured reserve and

378
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: they waved Bradley and I he's back, by the way,

379
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: he's on the practice we go. Um they added a

380
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: Sean mcwen uh. They so all right, So you're right,

381
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: they have one. They brought Sean McEwan back. I forgot that.

382
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: So they have one roster spot. They could use it

383
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: on Gallop, they could use it on a d tackle.

384
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: Just have to see, and they may not keep four

385
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: tight ends. Well, speaking of McEwen, you got Blake Jarlin

386
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: with a hip injury. What's what's going on with his stads?

387
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: I don't think we I don't know. We asked about Blake.

388
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't remember what he said. I'm sorry, Oh, let's

389
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: kind of go together. Yeah, wait, you used to love Lake,

390
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: I know, right, Like Blake was my guy. And I'm

391
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: just like, whatever, eighty nine, who cares? No, I got Schultz,

392
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: He's gonna have it. He's gonna have a chance. I

393
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: gotta eat Crow on that. I all through the off season,

394
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: I was like, whatever, there's two tight ends. Who cares?

395
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: And I mean, Darwin does have a role, but Schultz

396
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: is clearly the guy. Nobody can deny that. So you

397
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: win some, you lose some. Absolutely, Um, we'll see, we'll see.

398
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 1: And and but having McEwen helps with that. So if

399
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: Jarwin can't go, you can still have three because you

400
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: have mcun sprinkling Schultz, So we'll see. I was just

401
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: gonna say, I think the reason why Schultz has become,

402
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: you know, even a better player, for this offense. It

403
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,719
Speaker 1: is just because they don't need any more dynamic type players.

404
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: And I have to say that because you always want

405
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: to have a bunch, but like the both running backs

406
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: are dynamic in their own way. And then he got

407
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: these receivers. Then the backup comes in and Cedric Wilson

408
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: is going seventy five yards and all that you want.

409
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: You're tied in to be a steady player that is consistent, reliable.

410
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: You don't have to beat seventeen twenty five yards down

411
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: the just seven eight, get up the field, be smart,

412
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: and I think it's working out perfectly because it's a

413
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: pick your poison. They're gonna cover all these other guys

414
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: and this is the one that's killing them and I

415
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: just think he does that role better than Jarwin. If

416
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: this was like get down the field, I think Jarwin

417
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: would probably be better, especially when he comes all the

418
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: way back from the injury. But right now it's working

419
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: perfectly with Schultz. I'm not mad about it. I don't

420
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: think they need to change anything, but I think they

421
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: could have some fun with Schultz, and we've seen it.

422
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry with Jarwin, we've seen it over the years,

423
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: like him and Dac not only have a rapport, but

424
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: he's so good in the seam, Like we've seen him

425
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: right in that fun spot like over the linebackers and

426
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: under the safety's eighteen twenty five yards down the field.

427
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: It would be fun to see, but honestly, they don't

428
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: need it. That's the kind of thing though that I

429
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: look at it and I'm like, that's still you know,

430
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: that's in their bag, and you know at some point

431
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 1: later in the season, maybe in the playoffs, they're gonna

432
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: use it. They're gonna pull it out. And it's the

433
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: same thing with a guy like Gallop coming back and

434
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: what he can do in the d part of the field.

435
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: There are those kinds of things we really haven't seen

436
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: yet that they're they're holding them. They will definitely have

437
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: opportunities to use them, and you'll want to throw some

438
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: different Almost every game this year, there's been moments when

439
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore has done something that's a little bit different,

440
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: a little bit unconventional, like last week pulling out the

441
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: two offensive line when they got lined up in the backfield.

442
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: Like there's every week he's doing a little something different,

443
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be the same thing as you keep going,

444
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: They'll keep finding these new little wrinkles, something a little different,

445
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: something some way they use a player a little different

446
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: as they keep going down the stretch. Did somebody on like,

447
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: did Kellen or did Kellen call it the Hulk package?

448
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: Zach Martin? Yes, okay, because I keep hearing that, and

449
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: I was like, did the media name at that or

450
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: did I miss a player? Zay? I mean that's what

451
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: you should. They call it that. That's a great name.

452
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: I love it. Hulk smash Yeah, all right. Uh. Talking

453
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: about Nevill Gallimore, that was an interesting question I heard

454
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: in the press conference about him and the fact that

455
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: he's it sounds like he's I mean, it was a

456
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: six to eight week injury. I think we're kind of

457
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: either at that or beyond that at this point where

458
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,479
Speaker 1: is we're past it. He's working out, he's got an

459
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: elbow brace on his arm, just like Tyrant Smith does.

460
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 1: He was pushing sleds yesterday. He's getting back. Mike McCarthy

461
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: talked about him specifically, is like, you got to remember

462
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: his position is all about his injury. You know, like

463
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: you're leveraging and extending and pushing on three hundred pound

464
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: players and so I think that plays into it. And

465
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: they also don't drastically need him right now. So I

466
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: do not that you're forcing an injured player in quicker,

467
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: but I think there would be more of a sense

468
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: of urgency if they felt like they drastically needed it.

469
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: So they're bringing him along. They still I still think

470
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: he could start practicing hopefully this month, I think, but

471
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: just they're they're taking their time with it, you know.

472
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: So you name all these guys, I'm still so amazed

473
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: as to where the Cowboys are right now. It's just

474
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: unbelievable what's happening because you list any of those guys

475
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: and look how chill we are. We're like, oh, yeah,

476
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: he can come back whenever he comes back, you know

477
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: type of stuff. Which what was the last time that

478
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 1: even happened to where we're like, oh, you know, dad,

479
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: yeah he's practice hand we're this week it's kind of

480
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: more chill, like we're not planning. Let's if Dak wasn't

481
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: practicing today. I think no, Okay, okay, yes, but now

482
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: the most major position, after last game, you're you do have.

483
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you're gonna get through the whole season

484
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: with Cooper Rush, but now you have a sense of

485
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: more like, Okay, maybe they can handle it a little

486
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 1: bit for another game. And I mean not having Tyrn

487
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: Smith is caused for a five alarm fire with this

488
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: fan base, but nobody seems that worried about it right now.

489
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: I mean, so I think that last Sunday's win was

490
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: was it's even underrated. You know, just just imagine sitting

491
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: there watching practice like we did in training camp and

492
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: just to say, you know, what are the tough games

493
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: like at Minnesota. That'll be tough with the crowd and

494
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: all that Sunday night, and then they won't have to

495
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: they won't have Tyring in the second half. They won't

496
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: have Lyell, they won't have you know, I mean at

497
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: the time, they wouldn't they won't have Jalen Smith, which

498
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: I mean Michael Gallop, he's another one, Michael gall be like,

499
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: when are we starting the draft show? Right? That's like,

500
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: but they're gonna win. They're gonna win the game, and

501
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna figure out a way. It's not easy, but

502
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna win. I mean, that's the biggest thing is

503
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: you know, we've been saying it all this time, like yeah,

504
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: but they haven't lost Dak they haven't lost the key

505
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: key player yet. Well they did, and they figured out

506
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: how to win and now on that, I mean, you

507
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,239
Speaker 1: think about the last ten fifteen years, there have been

508
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: a lot of players on this team that when they

509
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: would go down, you'd be like, Okay, everything's fallowing apont

510
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: when Sean Lee would go down, they'd be like, Okay,

511
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: defense about to fall apart. You know, you lose tying.

512
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, offensive line is about to fall apart. Like

513
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: there's just there's not that this year, and you're having

514
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: the same level of injuries as you'd have any other year,

515
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: and you've had some big injuries. Obviously, what we thought

516
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: was the best player on that defense, they have not

517
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: played with him this season, and the defense is vastly

518
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: improved over anything we've seen in recent history. So it's

519
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: just it's amazing that they are. They have done something,

520
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: and you got to give some credit to Mike McCarty.

521
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: Something he's doing is working. You know, I don't know

522
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: what it is, but something he's doing is working with

523
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: this team, and he's getting them to play to a

524
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: level that they haven't really played too in quite some time.

525
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: I also do y'all think about it this way. I

526
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: you know those signs in like factories that are like

527
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: it has been X amount of days since the last injury.

528
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: I almost think about that, where to Nick's point, it's

529
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: like it has been X amount of days since the

530
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: last loss, and you'd never want that to be zero, right,

531
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: So like beating Minnesota just keeps the clock rolling, where

532
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: like you want to win every game you play, but

533
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: now it's now now when you reset to zero, like

534
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll lose to Denver, but let's just

535
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: say they do. Now you're only six in two, Whereas

536
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: if you'd lost to Minnesota, Losing multiple games in a

537
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: row is always like that's panic time. But now you're

538
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: just like, all right, even even if we reset the

539
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: clock back to zero on Sunday, that's fine. They want

540
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: six in a row. Like that doesn't that doesn't inspire

541
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: panic in me, especially with a bad Falcons team right

542
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: behind them. Yeah, bad MC. When we started this whole

543
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: thing at the start of the season, like what record

544
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: do you have? And I mean I think you know,

545
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: eleven and eleven and six, eleven and six, It is

546
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: probably the high end that you would go with eleven

547
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: and six, Maybe ten and seven. I think I said

548
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: ten and seven. I think nine and eight or ten

549
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: and seven. Yeah, I mean at this point, a five

550
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: and five finish to these final ten games puts you

551
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: at eleven and six. Yep. And that would be disappointing. Absolutely.

552
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: Oh you'd be really worried going into playoffs if then

553
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: the last half they go five hundred, like that would

554
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 1: be a problem. It depends on what those games are,

555
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter whatever, but just think about that, at

556
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: eleven and six, that's five hundred down the stretch. I

557
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: mean a lot of these teams in the NFC's already

558
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: have five losses, right, most of them have they all do?

559
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: They all have five? Yeah? So yeah, the Eagles have

560
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: the least and they got five and the others have six. Yeah.

561
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: So I mean I'm not saying it's coast time, but

562
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: just like that's that's where we are. That a very

563
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: very disappointing finish to this season would still put you

564
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 1: better than most expectations. But you know, even if they

565
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: were to lose a game, it doesn't it's not like

566
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: in my head like, oh man, this is going to

567
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: become a street type of stuff, you know, where sometimes

568
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: they do lose multiple games in a road It's not

569
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 1: that's no, not at all. Just be like okay, kind

570
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: of like what Nick and I talked about with the Vikings,

571
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, it's your time. Every like every everybody loses, Yeah,

572
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: everybody loses three or four games a year. And don's

573
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: not forget they've played four road games, all four of

574
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: the games that have changed the score and the lead

575
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: has changed in the final minute of the game all

576
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: four and three of them have worked for them. One

577
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: did not won one flip against them when Tampa Bay.

578
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying they're they're playing these close games there.

579
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: They've won three or four. You know, that's maybe where

580
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: they are. Remember, well, I guess I don't remember. Yeah,

581
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: it was in those conversations. I was still here when

582
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: you guys were talking about the schedule. We were talking

583
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: about the schedule, and you I remember you mentioned how

584
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: tough it was gonna be because of the way the

585
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: NFL put the schedule for the Cowboys, saying how that

586
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: was going to be a challenge. Yeah, all on its own.

587
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: So it's just it's impressive. I mean they Yeah, I

588
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: didn't like the way they did that first two games

589
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: on the road, last game on the road. You know

590
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: the way it went in the preseason. But I mean

591
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: they've you know, they've stood it all. I mean, I

592
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: will say this, going back to your original point of

593
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: of them winning those close games, I actually think that's

594
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: even better because a team that knows how to and

595
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: exercises the muscle of figuring out how to win in

596
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: the final minute of games and being in those games

597
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: and not getting flustered knowing, Okay, we're gonna go down

598
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: when you get the score, we're gonna win. That's even

599
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: more impressive to me. And that's that serves you even

600
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: better than sometimes just winning games by two three scores.

601
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: It's everything in this league too much parody. You're gonna

602
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: have to do that. And there are three and one, yeah,

603
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: in one score games and the loss was on the

604
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: road to the goat in the at the gun. So

605
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: that's pretty pressing when you think about I mean, Cedric

606
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: Wilson made the play of the game and against New

607
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: England to save the game. Um, I think he made

608
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: the play of He made the play of the game

609
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: to get him back and to tie it up. You know, now,

610
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: it was great throw by Cooper Rush, but him, he

611
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: did all the weaving and you know, to mad it

612
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: make it a touchdown. I mean, he has been um

613
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: And a buddy of mine said it six weeks ago.

614
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: He said it, Me and my son been watching the games.

615
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: Our favorite player is Cedric Wilson. I was like, really,

616
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: like your favorite player. He's like, yeah, we love the

617
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: way he plays and and he's become I always compared

618
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: him to Patrick Crayton. I think he's been even better

619
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: than that, just because he's so valuable in so many ways.

620
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: And just remember, Noah Brown has played a lot in

621
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: these last few games. So when Gallup comes back, that

622
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: fourth receiver is still playing a lot. Yeah, you know

623
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: it may Noah Brown may not play as much, but

624
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, although they have such a rotation, like I

625
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: think all of them are still gonna go, Brown will

626
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: still play. He made it really clear that they don't

627
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: really care. And the receivers are like, they're like, hey,

628
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: you take this one, y'all to us. I'm good. That

629
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: was funny on that the best part. Well, so you

630
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,640

Speaker 1: was like, you're funny man. You were trying to take

632
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: my touchdown. You're funny. There's so many other words that

633
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,320

00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 1: by the way, eight I'm starting to work. We don't

760
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: shoot the reference for that. Oh god, I'm I'm gonna

761
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: bring Roman Candles to work on May fifteenth, next next week. Right,

762
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: what if you brought Roman Reigns and that would be

763
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: cool because WrestleMania is coming. God, we are just we

764
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: are so far in the weeds. I mean, we all

765
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: talk to me about Jaylen Smith. Well, yeah, we've got it.

766
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: We've got a wrestler coming to the game this week.

767
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: We do, Yeah, you do. Rob Phillips. I mean he

768
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 1: might be his pants, he might He'll probably be better

769
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: than that one of the wrestlers. Well, I'm not what

770
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: don't I didn't know it was a secret and I'm

771
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: just kidding the same as Mark Mark Callaway the Undertaker. Yeah,

772
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: be at the game. Rob. I said, Rob, do you

773
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: want to interview Mark Callaway? And he was like, who's that?

774
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: Who should I know? Who? Mark? And then just like

775
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 1: you could see the light bulb come him. He was like,

776
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: shut up, man, don't do that. Don't don't don't even

777
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: play with me. Don't play You're not gonna make me

778
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: interview the Undertaker. Yeah, it's gonna happen. So awesome, Okay,

779
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: Jaylen Smith? Should he come back? Jalen Smith? Is he

780
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 1: lost like six steps? You can see it every week

781
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,760
Speaker 1: he was in Green Bay. The tape is on Twitter.

782
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: It looked the same as it did here, and Green

783
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 1: Bay saw it as well. And it't be surprising to anybody.

784
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: It makes no sense. From eighteen different reasons, all of

785
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 1: the same physical problems exist. He did not play special

786
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: teams while he was here, which is what you want

787
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 1: your sixth linebacker to do. Having a lack of speed

788
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,959
Speaker 1: and explosiveness might hurt even more on special teams because

789
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: you're running distances of fifty sixty seventy yards instead of

790
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: twenty thirty. And on top of that, there's the awkwardness

791
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: of cutting a thirteen million dollar player who was a

792
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: team captain, letting him get fired from another job, and

793
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: then bringing him back into the locker room where who

794
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: not like, you know, how does he handle that? How

795
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: do people treat it? Like? Nothing about it makes sense? No,

796
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: the only thing that would would make sense is if

797
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: the main reason was because of his contract and you

798
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: wanted to get rid of that contract and don't want

799
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: it hanging over your head and all that, and so

800
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: bringing him back there would be none of that. But

801
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 1: that wasn't the only reason. All of the stuff that

802
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 1: he said is also played a part into it. I

803
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: think he might get another chance with another team. I mean,

804
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: I think he probably would, just because, like I've mentioned before,

805
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been cut by the Cowboys and the Packers,

806
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: two teams that are pretty good that don't need him

807
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: to start. There might be one of the other thirty

808
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: teams that says, this guy could be better than what

809
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: we've got a linebacker. With all the injuries, COVID, all

810
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: this stuff, maybe he will get another chance on a

811
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: team that isn't as fortunate with their defensive starters. You know,

812
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: I'm a firm believer that there are no bad questions ever,

813
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: But with all due respect, there that was a bad question. Well,

814
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 1: it was on the site, so I figured, mean, fans

815
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: are asking about it. I have had fans, we have

816
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: gotten made a lot of questions about it, and No, Yeah,

817
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 1: you develop attachment to players like we've Jalen's a good guy.

818
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: He's he's he's an amazing story. Like, you develop an

819
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,399
Speaker 1: attachment to that. You're like, hey, you know, we could

820
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: bring him back if the cost is right. It just

821
00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. They would have carried him and that

822
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: salary if he was a viable player, right, because it

823
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 1: would already pay it. They'd already spent at that point

824
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: if he was just like decent, And they're like, man,

825
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: we really hate that we're spending this money on this guy,

826
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: and we got to do something about it later. But

827
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: if he was capable of doing what they wanted him to,

828
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: he'd still be here. Yeah, ye, all right, we appreciate

829
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:19,879
Speaker 1: you guys, you want us, We'll be back tomorrow. We're

830
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: gonna give you guys. I feel bad about it, as

831
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: he walked off. No, I actually I am. I'm starting

832
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: to get to a point where I'm just kind of like,

833
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: I don't like the fact that it feels like a

834
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: lot of times people are just kind of piled on

835
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: at this point because he really is like there's no

836
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: point to it. Like he is. He had the limitations,

837
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: he had um he did some things that probably invited

838
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: some some negativity with regards to how he how he

839
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 1: did things on the field. He was a model citizen

840
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,959
Speaker 1: off the field. He's exactly what you want from a player.

841
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: I think off the field, I do think and I mean,

842
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: we don't have to reopen this, but sorry, but the

843
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: the what we talked about it, like the the obliviousness

844
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: of it. You know, he told us to watch the tape. Yeah,

845
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: and then he signed in Green Bay and they asked

846
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 1: him what type of player he was and he said

847
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 1: a lead. And so I think people see what happens

848
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: and there, and that's why it kind of generates that

849
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: negative reaction where it's like, see, I told you, Jalen.

850
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: But at this point, it's just it's water so far

851
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: under the bridge, Like I don't I don't delight in that,

852
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: but it's there's no cults there, you go, Matt Eberflus,

853
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 1: there's just there's no benefit. There's no benefit to that

854
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: here for the Cowboys from a culture perspective or a

855
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: improving your team perspective. All right, that's a rap. We'll

856
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,280
Speaker 1: be back Tomorrowtlin for Dick Keeatman, Dave Helm and Amber Garcia.

857
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: I am Derek Eagleton. This has been The Break live
