14
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: we'll get back here. I know it's gonna be fun. Well, bet,

15
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: this is one of the ones I'm not really like.

16
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: Oh man, I really wish I was going because going

17
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: to that stadium, it's just get yeah, and we're getting great.

18
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: We're getting in really late. Uh. You know, normally you

19
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: get in about five o'clock five thirty, regardless of what

20
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: time it is five to thirty. It's getting in a

21
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: lot later than that, like seven thirty. You just got

22
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: turned around, and well, I think like you're going out. No,

23
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: you're like you got to be in your room and

24
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 1: get some food and call it a night. Right. Almost

25
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: named the hotel we're going to, But that's probably good.

26
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: Enjoy the food. It's the only place, you know, who

27
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: knows what the food's gonna be. But the press box

28
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: is the only place where I've seen media go. I'm

29
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: just going downstairs to get food. Like literally, media will

30
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: go and buy food at the concession stand rather than

31
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: eat what they have in the press box for free.

32
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: That tells you a lot about the food that's offered

33
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: in the press box for free. I mean, Dave, worst

34
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: stadium in the league, Dave, you know what. I don't

35
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: hear him right now, but I bet he's gonna be like, yes,

36
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: by far, we lost, Dave. Um, Well it's a good start.

37
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: But I will answer the question, yes, best worst stadium

38
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: in the league by far, not even for lots of reasons,

39
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: for lots of reasons, not not even closer. Who knows.

40
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't I don't know where I'll

41
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: be who knows what it should It should be interesting.

42
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: I mean, this is gonna You know, the Cowboys play

43
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: well here. I mean nine out of the last twelve

44
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: they've won, but with probably a lot more to do

45
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: with the team than the they're facing than the stadium. Yeah,

46
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: but what I'm saying is is that they play well there.

47
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: I mean, and it doesn't not always with the team.

48
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: I mean this, We've seen bad football teams go in

49
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: here with Matt Castle as a starter and they turn

50
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: it around and they win. So you know, it's always

51
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: been a game where the records don't matter as much.

52
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: And this time, you know, both teams are struggling, if

53
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: you will, struggling. All right, let's go ahead and jump in.

54
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about this roster. I have

55
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: a few different topics we need to hit there. Let's

56
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: get some injury updates. Let's start first with Zach Martin.

57
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: What are we hearing about Zach Martin. I guess it's

58
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: going to be me here since Dave's out. I think

59
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: Zach Martin has is gonna be a game time decision.

60
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: But it doesn't look like it's it's It looks like

61
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: there's a better chance that he doesn't play in this game.

62
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: He hasn't practiced so far this week. They don't do

63
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: a lot today. They'll do some stuff tomorrow. I think

64
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: he goes on the trip to Washington, but I don't

65
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: if I had to guess right now, I don't think

66
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: he will play in this game. What about Alden Smith?

67
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: He had an injury last weekend, has been practicing limited

68
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: on a limited basis this week. What are we thinking

69
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: about him for this weekend? I think he's got a

70
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: much better chance to play. It seems like he will be. Uh.

71
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: He's not only going on the trip, but it looks

72
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: like he is going to play in the game. Mike

73
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: McCarthy said said as much that he thinks he expects

74
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: him to be out there. Talking about Sean Lee and

75
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: Cheetobe Owoogier, both guys are guys that have been on IR.

76
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: They're eligible to return at whatever point the team games

77
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: in ready, they've started that process. Where are they right

78
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: now in their recovery and return they I don't see

79
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: him there for this game. Dave and Naber might have

80
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: different thoughts there, but I mean, I think and I am.

81
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: I can you hear me now? Yes, yes, we can

82
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: hear you, Sean Lee Cheeto, Hey, Sean Lee Cheeto. No,

83
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: that's not that's not happening. Um, they are practicing. It's

84
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: good to see him out there. Don't look for them

85
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: on Sunday. UM, don't look for Zach Martin on Sunday.

86
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: I think you already said that, UM, and Randy Gregory

87
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: is worthy of being on the forty eight. That's a

88
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: direct quote from Mike McCarthy. So, and what do you

89
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: expect Randy Gregory's role to be this weekend? What do

90
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: you expecting to see from him? Well, I would assume

91
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: it's kind of similar to what we've seen from him

92
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: in past years, where they don't necessarily put him out

93
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: there the whole time. They're just kind of easy him in,

94
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: give him some reps game Dave reps. So I wouldn't

95
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: be expecting too much, but but at least seeing him

96
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: on the feeling getting him back onto that because we

97
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: know how different and real game is compared to practice.

98
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: So I would expect them to just kind of easy

99
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: him in it. But I'm super I'm really excited to

100
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: see what happens. I know that we all none of

101
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: us expected Adam Smith to do what he has been

102
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: capable of doing. And I know we've seen this from

103
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory in the past, but I am excited to

104
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: see if he can bring something similar, something fresh, some

105
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: extra energy to the defensive line. So we'll see what

106
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: all he does. Dave, I want you to take me back.

107
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: I want you to take the fans they're listening right now,

108
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: take them back to the time when Randy Gregory was

109
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: playing for this team and give me a scouting report

110
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: on the type of player that he was good and bad.

111
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think, I think, fortunately, it'll probably be

112
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: pretty similar, just because he was in a similar situation

113
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen. He was coming off a lengthy absence

114
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: because of suspension, and they used him as a situational guy,

115
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: you know, an obvious passing down guy. I think he

116
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: finished he finished that season with only like twenty five

117
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: tackles because he was you know, they played him on

118
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: a pitch count basically, But he had six sacks and

119
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: twenty five pressures. So when you put him in a

120
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: situation where he can go get the passer, he's pretty

121
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: damn good at it for a guy that hasn't gotten

122
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: to play a lot of football. And then obviously. You know.

123
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: The downside is I guess you would call him a

124
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: very undisciplined player because he was good for an offside

125
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: flag or two seemingly every single week. But man, he's

126
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: he's fun to watch. Like I think about that. I

127
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: think it was against Tampa in twenty eighteen, he stripped

128
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston in the pocket and Jalen Smith recovered it

129
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: and returned it for a touchdown, and it was kind

130
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: of like this moment where you were like, Wow, maybe

131
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were right about these guys. And two years

132
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: later now you're questioning it again. But it was a

133
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: really it was a really fun moment at the time.

134
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: That's probably that's the biggest Randy Gregory memory that I have.

135
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: But I mean, for a guy, like I said, you know,

136
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: for as little football as he has actually played, he

137
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: has shown some real potential if he can play a

138
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: little bit more disciplined. And Nick, I heard you this

139
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: morning on a one h five dot three the Fan.

140
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: You were doing a hit there and talked about Randy

141
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: Gregory and some of your recollections of him and what

142
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: kind of player he is. What are your thoughts with

143
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: him coming back? What are you expecting to see from him,

144
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: and where do you think he'll be as far as

145
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: you know, the kind of play you can can get

146
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: out of him at this point his career, you know,

147
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: it's it's it's hard to say. And of course I

148
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: mentioned there on that show that I temper all the

149
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: raving about what he looks like in practice because they

150
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: still go up against the Cowboys offensive line. So how

151
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: do we judge anything right now with that? But if

152
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, if he looks quick and he's put on

153
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: some weight and you know, and it's been good weight,

154
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: looks like it, you know he needed to bulk up

155
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: some and so you know, if he can be a

156
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: player that can kind of help with the run game

157
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: at times but also get around that edge, just be

158
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: better than what they have and that shouldn't be that hard.

159
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: I mean, if he can just provide a little bit

160
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: of a spark, I think that that'll be something that

161
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: this team has been missing for sure. Questions do you

162
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: think he can do that with such a long layoff? Yes,

163
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: I mean I can't say no. With watching Alden Smith.

164
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: I mean I just I know they're different people, different players,

165
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: all that stuff, but you can't I think Bucky said

166
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: it too. I mean, when you see Alden Smith, you

167
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: can't say no, it's not possible. And I think they're

168
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: not going to give him a huge role. I mean,

169
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: he can't have a big role going there on pass

170
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: rushing downs. Try to be disruptive. He can probably do that.

171
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: And I did not remember that he was the one

172
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: that made that tackle against Jameis Winston. I mean, I

173
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: remember Jalen Smith, but I didn't think I thought it

174
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: was d Law. I didn't think it was Gregory that

175
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: made that. So Stephen Parker safety was moved to the

176
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: active roster. He's a guy that they've been kind of

177
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: popping up on game days, but now he's on the

178
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: active roster. Was this a move because they expect him

179
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: to play more at safety or is he a special

180
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: teams guy? Or is this a situation where they just

181
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: added a little more depth to their secondary. What do

182
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: you think, Dave? I mean, he's been in there playing

183
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: safety the last couple of weeks, so I would imagine

184
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: it almost you know, it seems like they're doing this

185
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: thing by committee because they don't have somebody that's good

186
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: enough to just nail down the role like Xavier Woods

187
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: is out there, and then depending on the snap, it

188
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: seems like sometimes it's darry and Thompson, sometimes it's Donovan Wilson.

189
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: And I think they'll probably throw Stephen Parker in the

190
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: mix as well. I know they've been really impressed with

191
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: what they've seen from him in practice. I can't say

192
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: that it like he's jumped off the tape to me

193
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: watching the games. But again, it's like safety by committee,

194
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: Like if you don't have one guy that can do it,

195
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: you might as well just throw numbers at it, right right,

196
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna do this. We're gonna check our

197
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: first break a little bit early. We're gonna come back,

198
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: and we're gonna dive into the Washington football team versus

199
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: the Dallas cowb Boys. Ask some questions for you guys

200
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: about both the offense and the defense and how we

201
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: think they're gonna perform this week. We'll do that. We'll

202
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: actually have some talk in the third segment about the

Speaker 1: NFC East. An interesting game last night between the Eagles

204
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: and the Giants. We'll talk about that a little bit,

205
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: and we'll get our predictions for the week. We'll do

206
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: that all when we come right back. This is Dallas

246
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: don't know about the Cowboy readers. You know, Amber gets

247
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: a little while when she starts drinking, So I don't

248
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: know about that. We got work to do. What about

249
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: nachos cho, I could go for some nacho? What'd you

250
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: say nacho? Because I'm Hispanic? Nick, Wow, that was not

251
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: what you was saying. I don't think, I hope not.

252
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: I didn't even say anything. That's the problem. She can't hear.

253
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: You're the one that said that. Clarify yourself. Now, I'll

254
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: talk about the Cowboy reader. Was that what she was

255
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: getting it? I guess no. I just heard Nick say

256
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: Nacho's Oh okay, See that's what I thought. It's part

257
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: of the read All right, let's jump back in. Let's

258
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: get back on track. We're live from the SWUNBC Mortgage

259
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: Studios at the Stars. The second segment of the break,

260
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: let's talk about the Washington football team versus the Dallas Cowboys.

261
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: That happens is Sunday at noon in Washington. My first

262
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: question for you guys Washington. Washington has the third worst

263
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: scoring offense. Dallas has the worst scoring defense. Which one

264
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: will be better this weekend? Washington's offense or Dallas's defense.

265
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: Let's start with you, Amber. I would like to think

266
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: that the defense he's able to start doing something better

267
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: than the previous games. But based on just everything that

268
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: has happened this season, I mean, there's no way that

269
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: I can sit here and say, oh, yeah, they're gonna

270
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: stop Washington regardless of them not having a great offense

271
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: like we've seen it happen. I mean, they have not

272
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: really been able to stop anyone. I really thought that

273
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: was gonna be the case with the Giants, and the

274
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: Giants ended up scoring over what was the thirty points.

275
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: I don't remember the exact amount of numbers, but I

276
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: just I it's gonna be a tough game. But the

277
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: Dallas defense, it's gonna end up allowing points, just like

278
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: they've been allowing points all throughout the season. Nick, you know,

279
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: I think that Layton vander Esh's return and being back

280
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: for this game, I think this is a type of

281
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: game where you'll see him really be a part of

282
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: the defense. I think with a wide open threat with Arizona,

283
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: with Kyler Murley running, I think it's kind of tough

284
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: to you know, he's not He's not that quick of

285
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: a linebacker. He's aware. But but I mean I think

286
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: in a game like this, I think you'll see him

287
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: out there more and I think that he'll, you know,

288
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: that will help this defense. I think Randy Gregory will

289
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: help some there off the edge, so they're getting some

290
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: players back and then they're just not going to be

291
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: facing guys that that should, you know, hurt them that bad.

292
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: So I think I think the defense has a better

293
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: chance of step it up. I think I think Washington's

294
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: offense is what it is, Dave. I don't trust this

295
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: defense at all to do anything different than they have done.

296
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I agree with everything that they've said, but

297
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: I mean you still got Terry McLaurin and he can

298
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: run really fast in a straight line, which is all

299
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: that anybody has needed to do over the last month

300
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: or so. Um. But I will say the one thing

301
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: that gives me confidence is Kyle Allen is awful in

302
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: terms of like pocket presence and taking well. I mean

303
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: he's not very good anyway, but like he's off in

304
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: the pocket. I saw a staff this morning. He's got

305
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: the second worst EPA when it comes to strip sacks,

306
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: only behind Daniel Jones, who you will remember the Cowboys

307
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: got a strip sack return, you know, and return it

308
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: for a touchdown against him. So if they can get

309
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: to Kyle Allen, then they should be able to you know,

310
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: make make some hey there. Obviously they've got to do that.

311
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: They haven't been consistent, but I would like to think

312
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: that they can turn his bad pocket presence into a

313
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: short field or two, which would go a long way

314
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: to help in this offense. Yeah, I agree with everything

315
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: you guys are saying. And I thought it was interesting

316
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: that up until Dave, nobody mentioned Kyle Allen, because that,

317
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: to me is the interesting part. Like, you look at

318
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: all these teams of Cowboys have played, he is by far,

319
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: in my opinion, the worst quarterback that they've paid played

320
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: to this point. Now I know that's also that that's

321
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: the death nail for the Cowboys deep. It's like as

322
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: soon as we start throwing out those kinds of edicts,

323
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: that's when they just get completely roasted. And everybody's like,

324
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen's ready for the Pro Bowl. But my point is,

325
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: I think this is the this will be the quarterback

326
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: that is probably least proficient of all the guys they've

327
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: played so far, and I think because of that, I

328
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of faith in the defense right now,

329
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense. What I do have some faith and

330
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: is in the fact that Kyle Allen hasn't played very well,

331
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: and because he hasn't played l well, I don't think

332
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: he gets going this week. I agree with you, Dave

333
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: on McLaren. I think McClaren is the one guy you

334
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: got to be really concerned about, and so I think

335
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: they'll get some plays. He'll get some plays out of

336
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: this defense. I just don't think it'll be enough. I

337
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: think when you look at the two, I think the

338
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense will be better. All right, let's me want

339
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: to the second question Nick, you mentioned a little while ago.

340
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: One thing we know is that the Cowboys defense they

341
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: can make someone bad look good. So there's that. I mean,

342
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: it's to the point where it doesn't even necessarily matter

343
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: who the opponent is. It's now up to it's just

344
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: all on the Cowboys at this point. It's it's all

345
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: up to them, like it's up to them to be

346
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: able to start changing this whole narrative because right now,

347
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: like I can care less who the opponent is, It

348
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if they're at the bottom of the list.

349
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: The Cowboys still will make mistakes and end up making

350
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: them look good. I agree with all of that. What

351
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying, though, is when you look at this Washington offense,

352
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: this there is not really a good comparison of a

353
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: team that they played. I know, we think that the

354
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: Giants are bad. To me, the Giants are light years

355
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: ahead offensively than what Washington is. If you watch offense,

356
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: their offense, they just are not I mean, they're really

357
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: really bad. So you're right there, there's bad versus bad.

358
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: My question then becomes which one is worse? And I

359
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: think in this instance, this may be the one offense

360
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: in the league that the Dallas defense may be better than.

361
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: But we'll all see, And you're right, Amber, I do

362
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: think what we've known and what we've seen over time

363
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: is that sometimes you get you look at these kind

364
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: of matchups and you're like, well, certainly Cowboys get it

365
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: going here, and for whatever reason, it doesn't get going.

366
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: So there's a real possibility that happens. Let's move on

367
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: to that second question, Nick, you mentioned about Layton vander

368
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: esh playing last week. I want to take you guys

369
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: back to last week, and I'd like you guys to

370
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: tell me how you thought he played and how much

371
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: of a difference do you think he made in this defense,

372
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: particularly last week against the Arizona Cardinals. Nick Le'll start

373
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: with you. You know, I was just looking at his

374
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: snaps right now. He played fifty percent of the snaps

375
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: fifty one percent, so that you know, there wasn't a lot,

376
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: and that might be by design. I would think, you know,

377
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: they want to see how he comes out of this game.

378
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: I thought he played. Okay, I didn't. I didn't notice

379
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: him a lot. Obviously he's only a play out there

380
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: half the time. But I do think again, I think

381
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: a game like this he will play more. It'll be

382
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: you know, they'll run the ball more. It'll be kind

383
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: of in the trenches a little bit. And I think

384
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: this game suits him better. And I think you'll you'll see, oh, Layton,

385
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: Layton's back for this game, Dave, Yeah, I agree. I mean,

386
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: I'll just say I didn't really notice him. He played

387
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: fifty percent in the snaps. I think he had three tackles.

388
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: That's to be expected. I mean, not only has he

389
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: been off for a month, but again no offseason. He

390
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: was out for most of last year. I would it's

391
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: gonna take him some time. We talked about the play

392
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: that Darius Butler broke down the pop pass to who

393
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: was a Kirk or whatever one that Anthony Brown. Yeah,

394
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: if you go back and if you go back and

395
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: watch that, Yeah, if you go back and watch that play,

396
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown, Why are you still in the end zone?

397
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith? What are you looking at? Leyton vander Esh

398
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: diagnoses the play beautifully. He just happens to be on

399
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: the wrong side of the formation. So that was really

400
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: encouraging to think that, you know, his instincts are still

401
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: with him, And yeah, I would imagine he'll continue to

402
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: improve as he goes along, and playing a bad offense

403
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: should only help with that hamper. You know, one thing

404
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: that I did notice is his energy. I mean he

405
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: out of the whole defense. I mean, he was a

406
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: player that he was noticeably more energized than everyone else

407
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: on defense. And I'm sure that's a product of a

408
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: competitor sitting watching the game from afar, seeing the way

409
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: that his defense is playing and him not being able

410
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: to help out. So I'm sure that that has something

411
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: to do with Okay, now he's ready to go in

412
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: there on the field and do something. So the one

413
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: positive thing, and I'm sure he's going to get better

414
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: this weekend, but that's something that was good to see,

415
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: just a player in there with some energy, bringing some

416
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: extra little spark into that very dull defense. One of

417
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: the things I noticed, it's funny, one of the things

418
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: I noticed about him was there are a few plays

419
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: that he came very close to making that he didn't

420
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: end up making it. Obviously, that's not good enough for

421
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: a guy like him, we expect better. But like you said, Dave,

422
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: I think the thing about that is in most of

423
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: those instances, the reason why he was even close is

424
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: because you could see he recognized what was going on early.

425
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: He just didn't have the whatever it was to get

426
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: there to make the play. Part of that, it's specifically

427
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: on places where he was trying to chase down Kyler Murray.

428
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: Is Kyler Murray like. He's a different level of speed

429
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: and quickness that sometimes can make even the best defensive

430
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: players look foolish. But that all being said, I actually

431
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: like the fact that he did look like he recognized

432
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: what was going on. It's one of my biggest critiques

433
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: of Jalen Smith over the first six weeks of this

434
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: season is that he doesn't always seem to recognize what's

435
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: happening quick enough and then be able to react quick enough.

436
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: I think we were seeing those things from Layton. Now

437
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 1: he's got to get hisself back into the right kind

438
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: of shape and I think he'll make place for this defense.

439
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to the next question. Last week,

440
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: Justin Hamilton and Neville Gallimore played more against Arizona. How

441
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: did they play? And are you ready to play them

442
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: more than Don Terry Poe at this point? At this point,

443
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: who I think we all agree has been a disappointment.

444
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: Let's start first with you, Dave. Yes, absolutely, I mean yeah,

445
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Justin Hamilton is kinda he was

446
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of a Twitter star. I guess if

447
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: you're like looking for a positive, that came out of

448
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: that game and just looked like he was active. It

449
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: looked like he wasn't getting blown off the line of scrimmage.

450
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: You know, he's not Aaron Donald or even half of that,

451
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: or you know Snacks Harrison at his peak, like's not

452
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: he's not at all pro nose tackle. But it just

453
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: seemed like you were getting better push and you know

454
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: I hate, I mean, better, better pursuit all of that stuff,

455
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,719
Speaker 1: better athleticism, I mean, we we all agree Poe has

456
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: been a liability for this defense. I don't know how

457
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: hard it is to upgrade what you've gotten out of

458
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: that over the last four or five weeks. Amber, I'll

459
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: be honest, It's not like I sit there and absolutely

460
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: like focus on the the tackle position during the whole game.

461
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: So I did have to pull out the stats for

462
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: this one. And I know we all know that Dantari

463
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: Po has not nearly been doing and been doing enough

464
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: at all. But based on the stats, in six games,

465
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: Dontari Po has been able to accumulate a total of

466
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: seven tackles. And then you look at Justin Hamilton in

467
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: just this one game he got a combine of three tackles,

468
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: so nearly on stats, I'm gonna go with absolutely, get

469
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: Dontary Post out of there, put Justin Hamilton, let him

470
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: do some more things. I mean, look, he's almost caught

471
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: up to Dontarry Post stats in just one game versus

472
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: six games that he has played, So yes, put him

473
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: in there. They do need a change because he hasn't

474
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: been working all fair, Yeah, I mean, typically stats for

475
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: your defensive tackles shouldn't They don't matter as much typically

476
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: because you want them to just be there clog up

477
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: the middle. Other guys make plays. But over the course of,

478
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: like she said, six games, I mean you can you

479
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: would imagine you get a few, you get in there,

480
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: and that's the thing. He's not clogging up the middle

481
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: po I mean, he's never gonna win any foot race

482
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: or anything like that. We understand that, but that's not

483
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: his job. His job is to be in there, take

484
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: these double team blocks and let other guys free them up.

485
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 1: And that certainly isn't happening. So if what's the benefit there,

486
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: I mean that there hasn't been any benefit for him.

487
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: And so yeah, I mean, anybody, he's got to be better.

488
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: Hamilton's hungry, ready to go. He looked active. I think

489
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: he'll be better in this game as well. Yeah, I'll

490
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: tell you the stat that matters for defensive tackles rush

491
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: yards against. And we've seen this rush defense be horrible

492
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: and a lot of that, A ton of that has

493
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: to do with the fact that up the middle he

494
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 1: gets washed out and moved out of the way, and

495
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: on the outside he is not doing anything to help

496
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: his linebackers out. They are regularly getting an offensive linement

497
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,239
Speaker 1: on them before they even get into the play and

498
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: they aren't able to get off those blocks a lot

499
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: of times. So I think both ways, you have to

500
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: look at the defensive tackle and say, especially at one technique,

501
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: can say you're not doing your job if you're getting

502
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: just run on like that. Right, are you laughing about?

503
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: Just an inside joke, I'll tell you at the break.

504
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 1: Oh god, I got a good staff play. All right,

505
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: wait for that. All right, let's go to the next question.

506
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: Next question, Dallas or Ken Dallas slow down Washington's pass rush?

507
00:25:55,480 --> 00:26:00,719
Speaker 1: And if so, how Let's start with you Nick man Um.

508
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta get the ball out quick. He

509
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: would love for the Cowboys to be a good screen team.

510
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: And I don't know, they're not terrible. They're not terrible

511
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: at it, but they're they're not like they're not great

512
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: at it. But this is the type of game where

513
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: you would you would want them to be to be great.

514
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: But the problem is is the the Red team doesn't

515
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: blitz as much like like the Cardinals. Did you know

516
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: the real Red team like they blitz all the time,

517
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: And so you know, it's this team just rushes with four,

518
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: so their linebackers are in position for screens and stuff

519
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: like that. You gotta get the ball out to your receivers, slants,

520
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: bubble screens. They're gonna have to go and make plays

521
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: and make make you know, get the ball in their hands,

522
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: break tackles. That's one way to do it. The running

523
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: backs out of the backfield, and I think this has

524
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: got to be a huge game for Dalton Schultz. He's

525
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: gonna have to work those linebackers work the middle of

526
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: the field and you know, just you gotta get the

527
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 1: ball out quick. But those those guys have to be

528
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: ready to catch the ball. Dave, I've already made it

529
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 1: very clear how scared I am of this pass rush.

530
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 1: But if you're looking for optimism, don't forget. They really

531
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: padded their stats against Philly in that season opener. They

532
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: sacked Carson Wentz eight times that day, so they have

533
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: half of their total from one game. The last three

534
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: weeks they got they got to Daniel Jones once, they

535
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 1: got to Jared Goff once, they got to Lamar Jackson once.

536
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: So yes, they're very good. Clearly, you can mitigate that

537
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: if you're about your business now. I mean, Baltimore has

538
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 1: an amazing offensive line that's really not fair. But the Giants.

539
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: The Giants don't. And we know firsthand from watching the

540
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: Rams that they're just great at getting the ball out

541
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: of Jared Goff's hands, Like that's one of the keys

542
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: to their success. So it can be done. I don't

543
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: know how much I trust the Cowboys to do it

544
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: because they are not as creative. You know, they'll they'll

545
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: run running back screens, but like you don't see the

546
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: tunnel screens and the jet motion the stuff that the

547
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: Rams do with Robert Woods. We haven't seen that from them. Um,

548
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: you know, maybe they dusted off this week. I kind

549
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: of doubt it. So it's on. It's on the offensive

550
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: line to play really well. But I mean, at the

551
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: very least they need to design, you know, short drops

552
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: and quick throws for Andy Dalton. Um. I think it's possible,

553
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: but I don't trust them to be as successful as

554
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 1: some other more creative offenses. Yeah, I was just gonna

555
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: say about that, Um that you know, Dave, You're right,

556
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: they don't. They're not creative like that except for two

557
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: point conversions. It seems like in the two point conversions.

558
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: We see some like cool plays with the market Cooper

559
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: flipping around. Yeah, maybe do that. I mean there's a

560
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: lot of second and five. Yeah, there's a lot of

561
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: third and two, third and three situations. So you know,

562
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: you don't have to be right down there to do

563
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: some you know, let's have some fun. Yeah. The other

564
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: thing I'll throw out two. Dave and you mentioned this

565
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: about the about what you see from the rams. It

566
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: was I think against the Giants where you saw the

567
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys running a lot of boots. They were just doing

568
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: some different things that were kind of these misdirections. I

569
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: combined what Dave said and what Nick said. Nick, you

570
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: were talking about Dalton Schultz in that game. One of

571
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: the things they were doing, they were going on those

572
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: boots and they'd have either a tight end or they'd

573
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: have another receiver coming from the opposite side of field

574
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: going on a drag across the field, and it would

575
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: create these interesting little plays for you because the defense

576
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: starts flowing one way because the handoff looks like it's

577
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: going one way, and then the quarterback boots around and

578
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: he's got room, he's got time, he can make a throw.

579
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: So I want to see some of that. That's what

580
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: That's the kind of stuff you see from the Rams

581
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: all the time, that that misdirection. They show you one thing,

582
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: they get you flowing one way, and then they go

583
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: back the opposite way. I think the Cowboys can do it.

584
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,239
Speaker 1: We saw it in the Giants game. Question is can

585
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: they do it with Andy Dalton and can they be

586
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: consistent with it enough to where they keep this defense

587
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: off balance. If you can get this defense off balance,

588
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: then I think that front four has to pause just

589
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: a bit. You slow down just enough that helps your

590
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: offensive line and maybe that means the Cowboys can have

591
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: a chance of being able to complete some pass. All right,

592
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: here's my final question on Washington versus Dallas. Can I

593
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,239
Speaker 1: can I ask a question? Sure? Absolutely? Going back to that,

594
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: Let's say let's say they do go into the game,

595
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: start off the game with like creative plays like that. Offensively,

596
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,239
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore has this nice little plan game plan, but

597
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: then we see that's not necessarily working, it's just not falling.

598
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: I mean at that point in the game, let's say,

599
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: what second quarter, are you wanting the Cowboys to kind

600
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: of keep pushing that or do you at that point decide. Okay,

601
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: let's just take it back. Let's just try to play

602
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: more conservative because I mean, one of the things that

603
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: we heard, I mean last week going into the previous

604
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: game with Andy Dalton, would the Cowboys be playing some

605
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: more conservative football based on the fact that they have

606
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton a quarterback and not that Prescott. Well, let's

607
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,719
Speaker 1: be click, we'll see good, Dave. I mean, I'm not

608
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: asking them to be like crazy aggressive, like if you go,

609
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: if you go watch some of the stuff that the

610
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: Rams did to the Cowboys, like it's it's really simple stuff,

611
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: just you know, boot bootlegs that get goff moving out

612
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: of the pocket or get you know, I don't understand

613
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: why the Cowboys don't like jet motion, like just I

614
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: mean that what Christian Kirk did the other night, like

615
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: give the ball to the wide receiver moving across the formation. Um,

616
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: these are these are basic things that most football teams do.

617
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: Like I'm not asking them to pull out Nick's flee

618
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: flicker in this game. I think that would be a

619
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: terrible idea. So I don't want them to be because

620
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: Dalton don't get murdered. Maybe I don't, I don't, but

621
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: everyone's trying to get Zeke get everyone's and he's going

622
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: to pitch it back. But when you're running without anybody

623
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: getting in your way, then you can kind of get

624
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: both of them, right. I just that's that. I don't

625
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: like that either, Dave. I'm with you. Go ahead. I

626
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,719
Speaker 1: don't want them to get crazy aggressive. I just want

627
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: them to be more creative and how they get the

628
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: ball out of Andy's hands. Yeah, I totally agree. This

629
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: was not about getting crazy. This is about just misdirection,

630
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,239
Speaker 1: show things a lot of play action. And by the way,

631
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: in order to get play action to work well, you

632
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: gotta run the ball well. So I think they have

633
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: to give a healthy dose of running the ball and

634
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: show that they're committed to running the ball, even if

635
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't work as well early on. You gotta show

636
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: that you're committed to running the ball. And that means

637
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: that if you go three and out because you're running

638
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: a little bit more, that's okay, you gotta punt it.

639
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: But I just think in a game like this, you

640
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: got to show them that you're committed to the run.

641
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: That'll help you create those play action opportunities and maybe

642
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: help your boots and that kind of thing. Because teams

643
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: have to start really really paying attention to the run.

644
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm really interested to see if they get in third

645
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: and short, even down on the goal line. I think

646
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: you've got to go back to the Antoine Woods package.

647
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: And we didn't see it last week or even the

648
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, but I think it's it's important

649
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: because that offensive line is night. When you go big

650
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: on big, you're gonna lose. You're gonna lose. And hopefully

651
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: that they're not stubborn enough to think just run them

652
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: over because they won't think. You gotta get some big,

653
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: bigger guys in there. And I think, you know, Antoine

654
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: can certainly help with that poem. I'm gonna take our

655
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: final break. When we come back, let's talk a little

656
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: bit about the NFC East. Where the Cowboys stand right

657
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: now in the NFC East, and where those other teams stand,

658
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: and what we think is going to happen, and the

659
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: big question, who do we think is the team to

660
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: beat in the NFC East. So that when we come

Speaker 1: final segment of the break Leaf nest WBC Mortgage Studios

704
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: at the Are and I want to take a little

705
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 1: time here in the final segment to talk a little

706
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,919
Speaker 1: bit about the NFC East. This division is not very good.

707
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: They have one win against a team that has oh no,

708
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. They don't have a win against a team

709
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: that has a winning record. The closest is San Francisco,

710
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 1: who is now three and three, so they're five hundred.

711
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: At least they did get a I think it was

712
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: the was it the Eagles that beat the forty nine

713
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: ors three? So there's one win against the team that's

714
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: five hundred. All the rest of the wins have come

715
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: against teams with losing records. Majority of the wins have

716
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: come against each other basically. So this is a team

717
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: that is not This is a division it's not doing

718
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: very well against the rest of the NFL. But they

719
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: got to send somebody to the playoffs. And so the

720
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: question for you guys is, based on what you've seen

721
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: through six weeks, who is the favorite in this division

722
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: to go to the playoffs. Let's start first with you Am,

723
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: where you have that look like you have something burning

724
00:36:53,200 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: to say, because I will never, ever, ever pit the

725
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 1: Eagles for anything at all. I cannot stand the Eagles,

726
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: but I gotta be fair and say that I do

727
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: think that looking at all the games so far, the

728
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: Eagles are starting to turn it around a little bit.

729
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: I mean, they have had some competitive games. So it's

730
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: a tough one. It's a tough one, and the worst

731
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: part is that it's all so situational football, like so

732
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 1: situational moments, where if they couldn't clean up if everyone

733
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: in the NFS well, between the Eagles and the Cowboys,

734
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: if they can start cleaning up their game a little

735
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: bit more and stop making so many little mistakes, I mean,

736
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: they can start really turning this whole season around and

737
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: making the nfcas look a little bit better than what

738
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: they've been looking like so far. But it's it's pretty

739
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: close between the Eagles and the Cowboys right now. I

740
00:37:54,960 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: have seen more competitiveness from the Eagles, though, Dave. I mean,

741
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: I think it's the Eagles absolutely. That's not to say

742
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys don't have a chance, but I'm just tired

743
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: of not I'm tired of not seeing this team make

744
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: any progress like Mike McCarthy said earlier this week, like,

745
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: we're not a better team in week six than we

746
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: were in Week one. I mean, and it's been six weeks,

747
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: it's been almost half the season. We have not seen

748
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: them fix any of the things that are contribute to

749
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 1: their losing ways. Then you look at the Eagles, which

750
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: I mean, you know they've they've been much more competitive.

751
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: You know, they haven't beaten anybody impressive, but neither have

752
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and their injuries. They have a lot of

753
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: them as well, but their injuries seem like they're like,

754
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 1: they're gonna get some of these guys back. They're gonna

755
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: get Miles Sanders back, They're gonna get Zach Ertz back.

756
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: Jalen Raager will be back eventually, Lane Johnson hopefully they'll

757
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: give him a chance to get healthy. Most of the

758
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 1: Cowboys key injuries aren't coming back, Like you're not getting

759
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: Tiring and Lyle, you're not getting Dak Prescott back. So

760
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles have a much better chance to

761
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: round into form over the next five to six weeks

762
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: than the Cowboys do. And until I see some notable

763
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 1: progress from the Cowboys and just playing cleaner football, it's

764
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: hard for me to think that they're just going to

765
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: magically turn it on, especially knowing that so many of

766
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: their best players are done for the year. I mean,

767
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: first of all, let me apologize to Carson Wentz because

768
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: I said Andy Dalton might be the best quarterback in

769
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: the division. He's not. Carson Wentz is a much better quarterback.

770
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: Just kill my next question. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but

771
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,479
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that your next question might be who's

772
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the division whatever. I'm just saying,

773
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is better than Andy Dalton quarterback one of

774
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 1: the other's great throw to win the game needingtime you're

775
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: throwing to a five five running back, you have to

776
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: drop it in there. He did a nice job with that,

777
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: but Evan Ingram catches the ball and they lose. And

778
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: then I don't think everything Dave just said. I don't

779
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 1: think he even says all of that if they lose

780
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: that game to the Giants, because this shows just how

781
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: bad they really are. Now they are going to get healthier.

782
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: I agree with that, and I think the Eagles are

783
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: the team to beat over there because they seem to

784
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: figure it out. They have a better quarterback, and they're

785
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: going to get healthier than the Cowboys. I do agree

786
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 1: with that. But they're they are not good. They're not

787
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,479
Speaker 1: good at all. Anybody can beat them. Oh, don't don't

788
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: get me wrong. I don't think they're good. Yeah, but

789
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: they don't have to be good to win. Ye, you're right,

790
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: this whole like they have, nobody's beating the team doesn't matter,

791
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: doesn't care. Yeah, but yeah, the way they played Baltimore,

792
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: you know, they went up there and fought with them

793
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 1: and probably you know, could have tied the game and

794
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: all that stuff. You don't really I don't know you

795
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: say that about the Cowboys, but I mean they okay,

796
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 1: well they compete with Seattle too, so I mean, but

797
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: it's just that you can't judge anything except for last

798
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: week because nothing this is all you know, that was

799
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: all before Dak got hurt. Now it's just what is

800
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: this team? We still don't know what this team is. Well,

801
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: that's that's the point I would make. Is I think

802
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, we thought, or at least I thought,

803
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: this was a good to above average offense and a

804
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: bad defense, which made the team an average team the NFL.

805
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: I figured they'd be a seven and nine, eight and eight,

806
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: nine and seven type team. Since then, we've had one

807
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,439
Speaker 1: game to see Andy Dalton as a starter. And again

808
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: I'm not placing all the blame on Andy for what

809
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: we saw last week, but what I know is in

810
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: the one game I saw him as the starter. This

811
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: offense is a bad offense. This defense is a bad defense,

812
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: which makes us a bad team. This is why right now,

813
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: I don't see any scenario where the Cowboys will be

814
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: better than the Eagles by the end of the season

815
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 1: unless somehow they can turn around what they're doing on offense.

816
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: And maybe there is a possibility that Andy Dalton, you know,

817
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 1: he's just starting to kind of getting some reps, he'll

818
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: be better. He'll get this offense able to manage or

819
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: able to be able to move the ball, even with

820
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: this offensive line, because you gotta work around this offensive line.

821
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 1: You're not gonna get healthier there. But maybe he gets

822
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: to the point where he can move this offense in

823
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: the same way that Dak was with the offensive line

824
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 1: he has. But as of right now, I don't see

825
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: any any reason to believe that the Eagles are not

826
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 1: the team to beat based on what I've seen so far,

827
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: and that the Cowboys have two teams on their schedule

828
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,760
Speaker 1: that you're like that they're not gonna win, probably Eagles,

829
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, not everyone else, I mean, no one

830
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: else on their schedules, Like there's no way I could win.

831
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: The problem is Philly's already played both of them. Yeah,

832
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: didn't beat him, played him, okay, but it didn't beat him.

833
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: But I mean, and the Eagles will probably play all

834
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: of those teams the Cowboys have as well. So the

835
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: schedule of the injuries, all that, the quarterback, all that

836
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: seems to point towards Philly. All right, real quick, I

837
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 1: want to get your your opinions on the best quarterback

838
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: in the division. Nick, you've already said you think Andy Dalt,

839
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry, you think Carson Wentz is the

840
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the division. I assume, yeahs you're not

841
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 1: putting one of those other two guys ahead of him.

842
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: So let's go to Amber and Dave. Let's start with you, Amber,

843
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: who do you think is the best quarterback in the division.

844
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: I have to judge based on just the games that

845
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: I've been able to see, and it's not much and

846
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 1: probably not fair because Carson Wentz has had far more

847
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: games than what we've seen from Andy Dalton this season.

848
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: But in regardless of certain people making comments and saying, okay, well,

849
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,919
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton actually played an okay game, it wasn't that bad.

850
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 1: I saw it pretty bad. I did not like when

851
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 1: I see what I saw Maryland, and maybe because my

852
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: expectations were a lot higher coming from a veteran guy,

853
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: but the way that I saw him play it just

854
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: did not inspire me anything. It just looked like a

855
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 1: guy with no experience, like I expected him to be

856
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: more polished. But again, gotta be fair and say, okay, well,

857
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: he hasn't had the first team reps as he would

858
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: when he wasn't a starter, you know, so at this

859
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: point I would agree with Nick. I would go with

860
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 1: Carson Dave. I don't want to pat myself on the back,

861
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: but like you can go find audio of me before

862
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: the Cardinals game saying everybody, let's calm down. I know

863
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,439
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz has had a rough month, but he's still

864
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: a pretty darn good player. And he is, I mean,

865
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 1: he's He's had a lot of problems. Obviously, the injuries

866
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: are insane. It seems like he's lost some confidence but

867
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: he is still a quarterback that's capable of willing his

868
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: team to victory, which he did last night and he

869
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: almost did against Baltimore. And I just don't think Andy

870
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: Dalton's ever been that quarterback. I mean, what was what

871
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: was the line on Dalton when he stepped into the

872
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,240
Speaker 1: starting lineup, It was like, well, with this supporting cast,

873
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: he could be pretty good. Carson Wentz hasn't had a

874
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: supporting cast since twenty seventeen. Like he's it's a mass

875
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 1: unit up there, and he still finds ways to piece

876
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: you know, competent effort together. So it's it's Carson in

877
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: three years, though, who do you think it'll be? You mean,

878
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: when Dak's back, Dak Prescott? I mean, it's Dak right

879
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: now if he's healthy. Yeah, I agree. I mean, here's

880
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: three years, though, I still think it's Dak Prescott. You're

881
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,439
Speaker 1: assuming Dak won't be here? Is that? I mean, he'll

882
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: probably be here, But I mean, do you think Daniel

883
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 1: Jones will be up there? Honestly, I think Daniel Jones.

884
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 1: I think Daniel Jones a really good quarterback and the

885
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 1: only reason, the only reason I'm not putting him ahead

886
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: of Carson Wentz right now is because of the factor

887
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: that Dave threw in, which is he's not able to

888
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: will his team to win like Carson Wentz is. But

889
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: I'll say this, if you watch that game last night,

890
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: there was some absolutely dumb throws that Carson Wentz made.

891
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,439
Speaker 1: There was one that was the interception where I don't

892
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: know who exactly he was throwing it too and why

893
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: he thought that was gonna be a completion. And then

894
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: the other one where he's scrambling out of pocket he

895
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: goes back probably twenty thirty yards and then runs forward

896
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: and throws opposite field. Should have been intercepted. I mean,

897
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: he does that kind of stuff where you're like, what

898
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: is this guy seeing? What is he thinking? So I

899
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: don't think Carson Wentz is a right now. He's not

900
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: playing like a good quarterback to me. He's playing like

901
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: an extremely average quarterback in at moments on the side

902
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: of of of being a bad quarterback. But that's what

903
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:05,839
Speaker 1: you got in this division right now. Nobody's better than

904
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: him right now, I guess is the problem if if

905
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: if Jones takes it to the house and doesn't get

906
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: tripped over the eighteen yard line or whatever, I think

907
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 1: there's a different opinion about him all the way because

908
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: it's like, man, that guy just took an eighty eight

909
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,879
Speaker 1: yards and now instead it's like, nah, he's not he's

910
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: not athletic. He trips and fall. I don't think anything

911
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 1: like that. Before they still score on that drive. You're right, Nick,

912
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: If if Evan Ingram just catches, I mean that was

913
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,280
Speaker 1: a beautifully thrown gay. Yeah. If Evan Ingram just catches quarterback,

914
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,399
Speaker 1: but he ain't bad, I don't know. I just said

915
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: that about Daniel Jones. He's going to be pretty good.

916
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 1: And Markley and those guys get there, you know, with

917
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: their offensive coordinator. I mean, they're gonna be good. But

918
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: I think that Dak. I mean, I still think Dak

919
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 1: is the best quarterback he will be, but he can't

920
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: sleep on him. I mean, I think Daniel Jones is

921
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: gonna be good. I think it's a real possibility in

922
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: three years, like you say that Carson Wentz will be

923
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: the third best quarterback in the NFC. So I totally

924
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: think that's a possibility. I'll move on before that. About that,

925
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 1: all right, let's get our predictions real quick before we

926
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: end the show. Let's start first with Dave. Dave, give

927
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: me your prediction for this weekend. I don't remember the

928
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: last time I hated picking a game this much. I really,

929
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 1: I know, I'm so serious. I hate it. I don't

930
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 1: trust the Cowboys. I don't want to pick them to win.

931
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: They don't deserve to be picked to win. But I still, like,

932
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 1: you look at it on paper and you say, like,

933
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 1: I still think the Cowboys are a better team except

934
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: the one big caveat that the thing that the that

935
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: Washington does the best is rush the passer, and that's

936
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 1: get's gonna be a huge problem for this offensive line.

937
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: And I just think I think it's gonna be a sucky,

938
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: ugly game. I think the score is gonna be something

939
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: awful like eighteen to sixteen, like a whole bunch of

940
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,839
Speaker 1: field goals, maybe a miss two point conversion somewhere in there.

941
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: And I'll just I'll take the Cowboys very reluctantly, but

942
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be surprised if I regret that on Sunday.

943
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: All right, Amber, I know I've said this before, but

944
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 1: I mean it this time. I'm serious. If the Cowboys

945
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: loose to Washington, that is it. Next week, I'm picking

946
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,319
Speaker 1: the Eagles, and then I'm picking Pittsburgh. I'm picking at

947
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: the opponent for the rest of the year. I'm serious.

948
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: We'll just know going in who Amber's picking, like, right, yeah,

949
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: don't even asking me. Okay, okay, I won't take it

950
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 1: as far as the whole season, but at least next

951
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: week I'm definitely peaking the Eagles if the Cowboys lose

952
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: this weekend. Now, I just to say something I'm gonna

953
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: say twenty seventeen, I, like Dave said, I absolutely don't

954
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 1: trust the Cowboys whatsoever. But because it is against Washington,

955
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go ahead and say Cowboys win. All right, Yeah,

956
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean, neither team deserves to be picked. I mean,

957
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: but what I keep thinking is, is Washington break over there.

958
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,959
Speaker 1: You know that they do every every day for forty

959
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: five minutes. There's no way you can pick their team

960
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: to win. There's no way you can be like, whether

961
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: they're gonna win, they're gonna you just they don't deserve

962
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,359
Speaker 1: to be picked. Neither do the Cowboys. I agree with

963
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 1: both of them. I think it's gonna be an ugly game.

964
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be I picked that earlier to

965
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: twenty to nineteen is my pick. I think. I think

966
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:33,280
Speaker 1: the oddsmakers have it as a one point favorite free Cowboys,

967
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 1: and that's all they get. For me. I'm gonna say

968
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen because because Washington missed an extra point or

969
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: something like that. I mean, I know the Voto confidence

970
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,760
Speaker 1: isn't good, but you shouldn't because that really, this team's

971
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: only played one game and they got beat thirty eight

972
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 1: to tend to the Cardinals. That's that's why we're all

973
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: so reluctant. None of this that we've seen before even matters.

974
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 1: It's one game that they put on tape, and the

975
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: tape should be burned. And that's the point. Right now.

976
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: I want to see how Andy and this offense response,

977
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: because if I see what I saw last week, then

978
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: my expectation for the rest of the season is that

979
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: this is gonna be just a as Amber called yesterday's show,

980
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: this is not gonna be great, right, So I do

981
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: think I do think though that I want to give

982
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: a little more deference to the Cowboys just because I

983
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: think Washington's offense is worse than Dallas's defense. That says

984
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: a lot, but I really do believe that, and so

985
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day. That's the difference.

986
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys get a win sixteen thirteen. I

987
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be a lot of scoring. Everybody

988
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: makes sure you got lots of food and drink because

989
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna need to entertain yourself at moments during this game.

990
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 1: But I do think the Cowboys get a win sixteen thirteen.

991
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: And we'll be back here on Monday to tell you

992
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: if we were right or wrong and what happened and

993
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 1: what went right and what went wrong for the Dallas

994
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys till then, for Nick Even, Dave Hellman, Amber Garcia,
