1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: On first down hill why Alfred and to catch and touchdown.

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: Humphrey tossed the Pollard and there he goes Johnny Pollard

3
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: down the sideline, chips her on touchdown. Dallas another interception,

4
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: and this is Watkins to the end zone. But the

5
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: flag is down and it looks like it's gonna stand.

6
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: That was Carlos Watkins putting the finishing touches on a

7
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: seven to seventeen Cowboys victory on t n F. I'm

8
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal and I am so excited to be joined

9
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: by my friend, you know him on Twitter as nfl

10
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: UK Hank Dave Damask. Listeners nome as a handsome Hank.

11
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: But I just know, miss Henry, that's what That's what

12
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: I p And you know back in the day, Henry,

13
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: when I first came to the NFL, and we're gonna

14
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: get to what was a pretty good Thursday night game,

15
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: better than I expected. So I'm happy the Saints gave

16
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: us some entertainment back in the day. People Erica might

17
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 1: not know this. There Eric is on as well. Of course,

18
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 1: Here Henry was running all of content four NFL dot com.

19
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: He decided where things went on the page. Henry was

20
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: essentially my boss. I worked with him about how all

21
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: the things were gonna happen. And you know, one of

22
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: his favorite uh columns of mine that he liked to

23
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: just put right in that what we call the CP

24
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: and big big Good spot. It was winners and Losers.

25
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: You know what a creative article. So that's what we're

26
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: gonna do tonight, little winners and Losers from TNF. I

27
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: love it. Greg used to push back on winners and loses.

28
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: He would say, why do we need to say who

29
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: who are winners and loses? The school tells us who

30
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: are winners and losers? Um? And it was like, Greg,

31
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: come on, we can do better than that. We know

32
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: we can tell more stories. So I'm excited. Did yes

33
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: to to be able to to decide who else won

34
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: and lost beside just the cowboys in the Saints. That

35
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: might have been like easy, Like early on, when I

36
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: had some integrity, I was like, oh, we shouldn't just be,

37
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, fishing for page views. But but soon I

38
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: realized that he gave up on that quick. That was

39
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: more of like an off season column. You know, we

40
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: didn't really need to do Winners Loser during the season

41
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: because you know, They're not the first winner here is

42
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. They did win the game twenty seven seventeen,

43
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: and I think I'll start my winners and losers. I'll

44
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: give Ceedee Lamb a little of seven for eighty nine today.

45
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: And like the last couple of weeks without Lamb and Cooper,

46
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: it's just like, oh yeah, it's important to have the

47
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 1: best combination of wide receivers in the Like I don't

48
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: know why I thought like the Cowboys would be fine

49
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: without them, but they absolutely weren't. Cooper was limited tonight.

50
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: But just Ceedee Lamb when he put that little move

51
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: on Malcolm Jenkins in the open field with that third

52
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: down catch where there was no separation between Bradley Roby

53
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: and him. To me, he is the difference. He he

54
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: was the difference. That's my first little winner. He and

55
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: and he's the difference. And he's the difference in you know,

56
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: uh Cowboys receiver call, which I think is like easily

57
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: the best in the league at this point. Michael Gallup

58
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: reminded us who he is. You know, occasionally you'll forget that.

59
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: Mikey got Michael Gallops there, and I know he's been

60
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: been out injured for a few weeks, but then he'll

61
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: pop up and make a catch like he did today

62
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: and that was insane as well. So that whole Cowboys

63
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: receiving corps is ridiculously good, right, And Gallup is good

64
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: at like two things jump balls and sideline catches, you know,

65
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: which he kind of combined with that touch sense that's

66
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: perfect when like you're the third receiver and just like

67
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: go ball he's good at just like running down the field.

68
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: He has like a skill set that's valuable. But when

69
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: your first two guys are out like, it doesn't it

70
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: doesn't make a lot of sense. And so it was

71
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: do you know what else he's gonna be good at

72
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: and the next and the next few months is getting

73
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: paid an awful lot of money? That's for it to

74
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: add a receiver in free agency? Yeah, he will get

75
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: paid a lot. And I've seen some like little projections

76
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: and whatnot, like he's gonna make more than that. Everyone's

77
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: gonna make more than that. That TV money is coming in.

78
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: Henry's getting some of it eventually, right, I mean I

79
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: don't know about that. But what like my second favorite,

80
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal call him is the top one on one

81
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: free agents and Gallup will be right on that list.

82
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: I think, well, like I would project if I had

83
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: to guess now, I think you're gonna put him somewhere

84
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: between twenty and fifty. I was just gonna say top thirty,

85
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: probably top. I'm gonna say I think he'll be low.

86
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: I think he'll be lower than that on the initial list.

87
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: I am gonna miss doing it with Chris again. Um

88
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: did that last year? Um, And I bet he's one

89
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: of those. I think he'll be in the thirties, thirties

90
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: or forties initially, and then all the franchise tags and

91
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: resignings get taken off, and then he'll get pushed up.

92
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: That I called that to pretend top one on one

93
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: the actual top one on one and the guys who

94
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: hit free agency right well that you know how it

95
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: is in the game, Like people want those page views.

96
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna be looking for the the initial top thirty

97
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: and Annuary is that thing. Does numbers give me a

98
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: winner or loser or whatever. I'm want to give you

99
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: a winner, and my winner is I've heard enough about

100
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons going to be the defensive rookie of the Year,

101
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: and I don't want to hear about that anymore. What

102
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: I want to hear about, and I think tonight we're

103
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: a winner for is the defensive player of the year. Okay,

104
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons is playing at a level and has done

105
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: throughout the season that should be have him in that

106
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: conversation for people are trying to slot you know, t J.

107
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: Watt in there, they're trying to slot uh, you know,

108
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: Myles Garrett and there no one's playing better than Michael

109
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: Parsons right now. And what I'm excited about is that,

110
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: beyond anything else in the league, he we don't have

111
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: any part, you know, we we've kind of we've gone

112
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: missing with a pass Russia who's been the best defensive

113
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: player in the league for for some time. And I

114
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: think Michael Persons is filling that slot really nicely. Now

115
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: I love this take. This is why I needed Henry

116
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: on the pad. He's not just a Dolphins fan. He

117
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: brings that takes. I think you're right. I think there's

118
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: still what six five games left of the season for

119
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, six for a lot of teams, There's a

120
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: long way to go here, and so I think if

121
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: he continues at this pace and Garrett is slows down

122
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: a little bit, and the Browns have a bad finish.

123
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: I'm buying that tonight was as an interesting example because

124
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence returned for the Cowboys. I'll give him a

125
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: little winner too, you know, let's just throw that in there. Uh.

126
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: And so they're getting there with the four men rush,

127
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: and they weren't using Parsons quite as much as like

128
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: an edge rusher, which I don't know. To me, he

129
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: was one of the five best addressers in the league.

130
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: Like he's a good off ball linebacker, but he's even

131
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: better just rushing the passer, and and I want him

132
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: to do that all the time. But then there's another

133
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: play where he's running down the field covering Kenny Stills

134
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: tipping the ball that turns into an interception, Like what

135
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: what can he not do? That is the type of

136
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: that's what you want out of defensive player there. Do

137
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: you know why Kenny Stills um has a special place

138
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL news room? Though, Henry, Yes,

139
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: I was. I think I was there, and I don't

140
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: think we're allowed to say so. I was just I

141
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: was just gonna say Kenny Stills was not coming down

142
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: with a lot of contested catches tonight and that was

143
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: that was exactly what my argument um with the former

144
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: colleague was all about, was his inability. The most catholic

145
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: argument in the history of NFL media. It was like

146
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: it was like it ran for most of the day,

147
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: UM with with these two individuals, Greg and someone whose

148
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: name I think I may have even forgotten at this point,

149
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: UM going back and forth throughout the day, and it

150
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: got very testy. And I will know what all I'll say,

151
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: Um if you if anyone listening is interested in who

152
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: won the argument? Is Greg still employed by the NFL?

153
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: No one. No one's seen since they say like live

154
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: in your head, rent free. You know. I was just saying,

155
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: we got a text from Greg tonight, blank dying somewhere

156
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: with all these Kenny Stills drops. It was well, I

157
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: just st I hadn't thought about it in a while.

158
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: And the argument was a percent about contested catches, and

159
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: so it was funny. Here we are six years later,

160
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: and yeah, that is the that's the best, Um, that's

161
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: the best scoreboard. And Henry and I were in jobs

162
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: that were, at least for me, not as enjoyable, much

163
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: more stressful back then, and a lot of the people

164
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: we didn't enjoy over the years, they're all gone. We're here.

165
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: Greg's the only one left down even I've really left.

166
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let's throw a loser at how about how

167
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: about Taysom Hill in the fourth quarter. So winner, Taysom

168
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: Hill the first three quarters. Loser Taysom Hill in the

169
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, as he threw three of his four interceptions,

170
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 1: or at least three. We're in eleven plays. I'm not

171
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: sure if one was in the third. I actually thought

172
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill looked pretty good early in this game playing quarterback,

173
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: which is what he did in the preseason. I thought

174
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: he looked better as a quarterback in the preseason than

175
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: he ever had before. Making quick to sit. Then it's like,

176
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: you know, you're you trade your trailing the Cowboys, and

177
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: then you hurt your finger. It's a lot to ask

178
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill. No, you don't have either of your Pro

179
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: Bowl tackles. But it was more of the decisions than

180
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: the execution for the most part. In it all kind

181
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: of fell apart. But I I applaud Taysom Hill for

182
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: giving us a better game than I think Trevor Simeon

183
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: would have. So that's my damning with me hell throws

184
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 1: another one for yeah, I I'm I had Taysom Hill.

185
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: I slid Taysom Hill from the winner's column over to

186
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: the loser's column in the last ten minutes of the game.

187
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: That one quarter where he you know, in the third

188
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: quarter he ran for seventy one yards. He had one

189
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: drive where he ran for first downs and it was

190
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: like Sean Payton just like sticking up both middle fingers

191
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: over at dan Quinn. That was kind of fun, Like

192
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: that's what I mean. At least they gave us a

193
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: little something that that would be the dead game. All right,

194
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: give me, give me a loser, or I'll give you loser.

195
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: His name Brands. Okay, so if you if you don't

196
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: tune into the NFL that much, you see the Saints

197
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: are going to be on TV, and you're like, okay, cool,

198
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: high powered offense. This is going to be exciting. You

199
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: see Ze Elliott in the background in the backfield, and

200
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: you think, okay, we've got a guy who can who

201
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: can run the ball and break tackles and do exciting things.

202
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: And if you watch now what you find is a

203
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: Saint's offense. You're like, wait, who are these people that

204
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: are playing on this offense because this isn't interesting. And

205
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: and you have Zeke Elliott, who you know. There were

206
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: a couple of plays and it was it was very

207
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: much called out boy by Tray when there where it's like, yeah,

208
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: Zeke has got no juice left. He managed to turn

209
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: the corner and then was caught by I think a

210
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: defensive line. He's playing hurt but exactly Erica. And and

211
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: then it's like, well, why are we posisting with Zeke?

212
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: Just give him a couple of weeks off and let him,

213
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: let him rest up. It's a weird thing with injuries

214
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: this year. I've thought about a lot with Baker Mayfield

215
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: and different guys, like who is it serving when you're

216
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: playing guys that are clearly hurt, Like that's the NFL

217
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: m O, Like we're gonna play through injuries. But it's

218
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: not helping him, it's not helping the team. I'm with you.

219
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: Pollard is so good, um that he should just be

220
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: getting most of the reps. He he basically is that

221
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: that'll give me a loser, which is Marcus Williams is

222
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: ability to evaluate like an angle on a play on

223
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: that Tony I know he was like slow playing. Yeah,

224
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: you know he was. He was preventing Pollard from cutting

225
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: back inside, but he thought he had the angle because he's,

226
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: you know, a great athlete. Marcus Williams is a franchise

227
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: tag safety, I think, one of the better safeties in

228
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: the league. Having a pretty good year for the Saints.

229
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: He thinks, like, this guy's not gonna outrun me. I'm

230
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: gonna make sure he doesn't go. And uh, that's what

231
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: happens when you mess up with Tony Pollard. Oh boy, um,

232
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: Erica has just slacked me. She wants in on this

233
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: winners and losers fun, and you know, I'm feeling generous.

234
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: Erica should be allowed in whenever she wants. Let's hit

235
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: what are go? Wow? Thanks Hank. Okay, So my winner

236
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: is Mike McCarthy because what you will see floating in

237
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: the ether this week, it's like Mike McCarthy is gonna

238
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: be on zoom. He's really virtually involved. So it looked

239
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: like almost the Cowboys were trying to get ahead of

240
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: this message that like, it's not dan Quinn, like Mike

241
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: McCarthy is very capable, which I found very interesting. So

242
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: then dan Quinn they win, which is great for the Cowboys,

243
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: but they didn't win so handedly that everyone's like Dan

244
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: Quinn is the answer. So I think that it was

245
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: a win in the book for Mike McCarthy, and the

246
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: loser of tonight is the listeners listening to you guys

247
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: discussed like the layout of NFL dot COM's internet pages.

248
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: I think that I don't that I don't agree that

249
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: it was great stuff people like to hear um people

250
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: people like to I think that's a good take. I

251
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: think that's a good take. It felt like Kellen Moore

252
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: was definitely like just calling more passes at the end

253
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: of the game than Mike McCarthy would have. But I

254
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: don't blame Kellen Moore for that. I'm more disappointed that

255
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: what looked like the old Doc being back in the

256
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: first half, and I thought he played well in the

257
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of that Raiders game. I'm like, Okay, this

258
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: is old deck, Like I'm pulling for Doc. Doc would

259
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: be my like narrative m v P. It's not gonna

260
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: happen now. I think he's played too many poor games.

261
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: But then they just had a sluggish second half. Again.

262
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: I know the Saints defense is good, but they just

263
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: could not put that game away. I don't blame more

264
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: on trying to like work on from passing and get

265
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: better and trust in his passing game, but they were

266
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: not getting it done. One last loser for you, Um,

267
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: at least for me. You're welcome to go anymore, Henry. Uh,

268
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: Saints fans, you know, it's been a tough year. They

269
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: set up this whole season where this was gonna be

270
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: the peak Thanksgiving night and then the post Thanksgiving Thursday slot,

271
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: which I've noticed has just turned into a Cowboys slot

272
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: every year, which it's a it's a good thing that

273
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: you get the whole week. Uh. This was all building

274
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: to this, and in the in the first seven games

275
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: of the season, they beat the Bucks, the cow the Patriots,

276
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: and the Packers by a combined like seventy Like they

277
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: were a frisky, fun team. I think if they had

278
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: their tackles and Alvin Camara out there tonight, they might

279
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: have won this game. Like even with Taysom Hi and

280
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: um they you know, they they the Saints fans like

281
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: got all excited, We're hoping for this game, and then

282
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: you have that blindside block call, which was very strange,

283
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: and you have to watch Greg's Urline hit a fifty

284
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: plus yard or field goal, bringing back memories of the

285
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: worst loss I would say in franchise history against the Rams.

286
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: So just a tough night. Look at you throwing shade

287
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: at people with Greg's called Greg with only one g

288
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: no shade. I mean the dudes, the dudes clutch. He

289
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: sent the Rams to the super Bowl and uh he

290
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: sent I guess, uh the Cowboys to a lead here

291
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: tonight in anyone that took the Cowboys minus seven. Uh,

292
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: it's thankful to Greg's. That's true. I've got a couple

293
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: of others, I think you know another another loser or

294
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: pair of losers, Dan and mark Um not being on

295
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: here um right, and they got they got on me out.

296
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm or you haven't heard this yet, but at the

297
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: end of today's show, they like implied that I had

298
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: some sort of machiavellian scheme that I'm having you on

299
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: before them because you're like going to rise in the NFL,

300
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: and like that's that's the reason that I would do it.

301
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: Or they're just like jealous that I'm hanging out. It's

302
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: very very I mean, you know, look, I'm I'm I'm

303
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: definitely not loyal. If they asked me, I'll also come

304
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: and join that, right, You've been available about this last

305
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: year we all sat during when we were all supposed

306
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: to be you know, social distancing, and Dan and Mark

307
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: and I watched a terrible Seahawks Cardinals Thursday night game

308
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: and then did a wrap up after that. So I'm

309
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: not loyal. Will I'll join them if they would like

310
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: me to. I also include me as a loser here

311
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: because of all the games that I could have chosen

312
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: to join you on for Thursday night football wrap up,

313
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: this was not necessarily the one. This season has been

314
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: some there have been some good Thursday night games and this, Yeah,

315
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: that's that's fair. I did initially, you know, asked for

316
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: that Dolphins game which they beat the Ravens. That would

317
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: have been fun, but you were you were working, you

318
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: were on the East Coast. There would have been like

319
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: after midnight there, and you got to enjoy that. Well.

320
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: I was actually at the time, I was in Dolphins

321
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: remission and had decided I wasn't going to watch it,

322
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: and then because it was so exciting, I found my

323
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: way to a bar to do it. Can I throw

324
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: one other winner out there? And this is just a

325
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: personal one, um, but a friend of mine. UM Adam

326
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: Dirty is the defensive line coach for the Dallas Cowboys,

327
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: a Hard Knocks star, so I'm going to throw him

328
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: out as a winner. But especially he is part of

329
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: the Michaeus Myke Cleats program that's going on at the moment,

330
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: which I didn't realize coaches can be involved in. But

331
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: he really wanted to find a charity to support in

332
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: the UK, and I worked with him and we found

333
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: he very passionate about knife crime, which is a big

334
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: problem in the UK and in London especially, And there's

335
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: a charity called the Godwin Lawson Foundation, UM which supports

336
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: kids and tries to get you off the street, eats

337
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: and out of you know, bad situations. And he was

338
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: wearing shoes for this game. UM that was was kind

339
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: of honoring the Godwin Lawson Foundation. So that Godwin Lawson

340
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: Foundation is a winner for me tonight because they got

341
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: a chance to be shown on on national TV in

342
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 1: the US, which is which is pretty cool. He's UM,

343
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: he's an up and coming man. I know he's your buddy.

346
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory having a career year with them. I think

347
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: people saw him on hard knocks and that is not

348
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: going to hurt his chances to get job. Henry only

00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: hangs out with like really handsome guys. That's why, that's
