You know one 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:25.240 thing I've always respected about you, specifically as a member 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.200 of this show, is because you do have that Washington allegiance. 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.200 Sometimes you have that that u W pride. We mentioned 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:33.520 it a little bit yesterday. You have that pride for 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:36.280 the great Northwest, and I respect that. But you still, 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:40.000 as a former cowboy in your own right, you found 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:43.839 a way to make that background specifically about the Cowboys. 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.200 And you have a couple of Cowboys helmets up there. 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:52.480 You've got the helmet up there. Yeah, my first touchdown. Yeah, 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:57.600 and then I have another whoa, oh, whoa you got 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.440 you got of the kid in me it with you. 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:06.440 I swear that was a Cowboys helmet yesterday. It was yesterday. 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.480 And now it's a Seattle Seahawks helmet hanging up on 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.640 the wall. For those of you who are listening to 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:16.160 this podcast and not watching it on video, But there 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:19.680 is a Cowboys helmet the last it's a beautiful canvas 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:21.600 in the middle, and then a Seattle Seahawks helmet on 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:25.520 the right rock. It's just it's just the matchup. It's 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:29.520 the matchup. If you go to the Star, you go 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.960 the Star right off the atrium. It's got all the 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:35.840 helmets for the entire NFL. Whoever the Cowboys are playing. 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:39.640 It lights up Isaiah, Just Isaiah just brought the star 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:45.600 to the studios. Maybe standbacks that always liked you? Yes, yes, yes, 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.040 thank you? Is that he does not have a Cleveland 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:55.440 browns helmet? So how did all of a sudden miraculously 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.320 does this Seahawks helmet show up on your wall? Now 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.400 tell me this. When you flip that your poster around, 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.600 is the space needle on the backside of him? Oh 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:09.120 my gosh, No, didn't get that custom burdens when we played. 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.800 When we played a Giants, okay, I played for the 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.120 Giants organization. We played a Patriots, I played for the 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.720 Patriots organization. Okay, to put the helmet over there to 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:20.400 my head if I you know, if that's the matchup 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.840 of the week and I have the helmet, why not? Okay? 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:28.040 Why not? Sattle? He's from Seattle, Suspi, Seattle. Come on, 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:31.600 I spend my whole life up there. You're pretty suspicious, 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:35.720 my god. Man, come on, hey, hey, Dallas paid me, 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:38.119 Seattle raised me. You know what I'm saying. Come on, man, 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.560 I like that. Oh that's a that's a pretty good saying, 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.560 but hey, we love you anyways, and we're ready to 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.000 talk about this matchup. No better person than talk about 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.240 this matchup for somebody who played for both teams, and 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.680 that's exactly what Isaiah Standback has done. But guys, I 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.800 wanted to start this off by by looking at really 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:58.360 the offense for Seattle, and of course they're off to 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.880 a fantastic start. Russell Wilson just the fourth player in 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.880 the Super Bowl era to throw at least nine touchdown 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.720 passes over the first two weeks of the season. Drew 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:11.240 Brees in two thousand and nine Super Bowl MVP season, 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.600 Peyton Manning in twenty thirteen won MVP that year, and 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.040 then Patrick Mahomes in twenty eighteen. Guess what he did 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:20.360 in twenty eighteen. He won the MVP. So you talk 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.880 about a guy who's never had an MVP vote, which 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.080 I think is just a travesty for all MVP voters 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.479 in the world. The fact that Russell Wilson throughout his 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:32.080 eight year now into his ninth year career, has not 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.400 had a vote, a single vote for the MVP award. 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:38.479 But he's making a case right now. He's making a 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:42.160 case to do that. It is really disrespectful. But Rob 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.440 whenever he comes to Russell Wilson and you're looking at 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:48.320 this offense for Seattle, they're firing all cylinders because three 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.320 is playing extremely well. How do you start even game 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:55.760 planning to slow that down? Well, you said it. I 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:59.960 watched back the Pats game last night, and that first 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:04.400 touchdown drive they had it was a thing of beauty. Man, 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:08.719 it was. It was thirteen plays, seventy five yards, six runs, 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:12.320 seven passes, and three times he got out of trouble. 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.800 They weren't even designed runs, just scrambles. One for twenty 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:19.359 one yards. One was a slow developing play action that 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:22.880 he got out of trouble for six and the balance 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.440 was there. They use their backs, they use their tight ends, 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.400 they use their receivers and oh, by the way, yeah 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:31.760 he's he's pretty good. And I don't know how you 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.840 stop him, honestly, other than I know every time they 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.719 played Seattle in the Rod Marinelli era, he talked about 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.840 keeping him in the well. You've got you've got to 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.000 be disciplined in your rushes and don't let him get 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.880 outside the pocket. But then you've got to watch him 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:47.680 scrambling up the middle two, which is why we talked 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.000 about the spy yesterday. I don't I don't know what 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.280 you do other than try to get a pass rush 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.479 on him, try to be more effective than you've been 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.240 the first two weeks of the season, because the Cowboys 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:04.040 will admit it has been up to par so far. Yeah, 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.560 And so as we talk about this defense, right, the 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.640 Cowboys defense and trying to slow down the disrespected MVP 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:15.920 caliber quarterback that is Russell Wilson, There's only been one 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:19.000 thing that I've ever seen that has really slowed down 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.960 Russell Wilson, it really caused him issues, and that one 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.839 thing is pressure on an interior line. But only time 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.200 he's ever been disrupted as a quarterbacks when he has 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.640 an interior pressure and the defensive end state discipline you 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.880 guys mentioned and being able to contain him right and 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.320 being able to spy him. The spy doesn't really work. 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.760 There's not many guys in the NFL that can really 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:43.400 not react to his to his moves right man to man, right, 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.200 if Russell wasn't decides to scramble, one guy's really not 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:47.919 going to stop him. Not a guy out in space 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.560 right with a two way go with giving Russell wasn't 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.960 a two way goal. So when you provide pressure with 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.480 the interior d lineman. So when we talk about Pole, 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.240 we talk about Gallimore, we talk about Tristan Hill, we 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.400 talk about these guys, and they're a bill of these 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.200 that they have. Right, They're going to have to show 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.400 up if Dallas wants to be successful against Russell Wilson, 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.839 because he can get out the pocket. But if you 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.560 provide pressure in the middle and you contain him on 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.280 the outside, now you have him doing running around and 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:16.760 causing all kinds of serve. So that's how you stop 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.000 this man. That is the only way you stopped this man. 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.840 Our big boys up. Frank got to show up now, Isaiah, 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:26.160 do you remember when they used to call Russell a 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:30.400 bus driver in Seattle? He was considered the bus driver. 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:34.120 Now the bus driver has turned into a Formula one racer. 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:38.120 He is he is throwing the ball all over the 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.080 place and rob Like you said, that game last week 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.920 versus New England was an instant classic. If you love 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.320 watching the strategy of football, it was all you needed 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:51.320 was in this one game. And you're right. I mean, 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:53.240 you just have to take a deep breath and ask 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.040 yourself how are you going to deal with all of 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.840 the things that Russ can do? And Brian Schottenhammer is 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:04.360 allowing Russ to cook, and Russ is looking unstoppable or 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:08.560 mister unlimited as he's calling himself these days. Because what 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.160 do you do? Do you do? You play him his 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.160 own like New England did last last week? He just 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.000 throws that ball right over the top of you and 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.520 make it a feast him, all those long balls to 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.160 the Poleon. Do you play him in cover three? He 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.880 just throws it over the top of your linebackers. If 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.400 you go cover two, he'll find the scene with his 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:30.240 favorite receiver, Tyler Lockett. And so there are a multitude 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.800 of things that I'm sure Mike Nolan has been staying 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.760 up at night wondering how he's going to stop this guy. 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.240 But it's gonna come down to a few factors. And 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:43.040 that's just making DK Mancalf normal or human, I guess it. 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.480 And how do you do that? Just try and turn 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:47.400 that guy the big play receiver. You know he wants 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.240 to hit you long, but tourn him in and Michael 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.600 Irvin turn him into a possession receiver. Make it be 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.160 short and he has to go long. But Tyler Lockett 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.440 is one of the guys that he really wants to 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.880 catch you with. And man, the Cowboys secondary man, they 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:01.760 have the we're cut out for him. And this is 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.080 the week man that you figure out where we are. 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.760 Because if you're basing it off of your performance versus 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:12.120 the Rams in Atlanta, huh yeah, just take a deep breath. 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:15.640 There's really no way to sugarcoat it. Whenever it comes 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:19.080 to the deep threat ability of this Seattle offense. And 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:22.960 you look at the passing chart from Russell Wilson last week, 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.400 go on Next Gen Stats. They do a fantastic job 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.160 of putting out these charts from quarterbacks and where their 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.880 throws were and where they were successful and how far 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.800 their touchdown throws were from the line of scrimmage. And 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.960 somebody tweeted out yesterday it said, when you're throwing chart 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.720 as a quarterback looks more like a home run derby, 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.320 that's when you know you're really bawling. And that's exactly 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:45.600 what it looked like for Russell Wilson. He had four 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:49.160 touchdown passes. It seemed like that we're over fifteen yards 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:53.200 of distance from the line of scrimmage last week against 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.560 the New England Patriots, and he's able to hit those 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.800 guys deep. Whether it's Tyler Lockett, whether it's dcpe, Metcalfe, 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:02.000 treyvon digs, cheetah Oozia, Jordan Lewis, those guys are gonna 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.719 have a tough matchup regardless. And that's where I kind 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:06.840 of agree with Isaiah here. Whenever it comes to the 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:10.880 defensive line, you have to have pressure, especially in the interior, 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.080 which is a place where when you watch the film 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.640 against Atlanta, you're kind of bullied. You really were by 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:19.960 an offensive line that wasn't necessarily touted coming into the day. 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.319 You had Don Terre Pope pushed around. Even Tristan Hill 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:25.120 at times didn't look great, and I know he's kind 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.400 of still on the ascending side of his career, but 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.480 you got to be able to get pressure. They weren't 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:31.560 able to do that. Now, Don Terry Poe has played 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.400 against the Seahawks three times in his career and he's 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.840 registered seven tackles, three tackles for loss, a sack, and 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.760 three pressures. So maybe if history's on his side, Don 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.000 Terry Pope might have a better game and have it 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:44.760 a little bit of an uptick and you might be 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.160 able to get pressure, but heckma, is that really outside 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.359 of the secondary? I know you just mentioned the secondary. 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.200 If you're able to get pressure, is it really that 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.400 easy to slow down Russell Wilson or is it much 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:58.400 more than that? Well, I think one of the things 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:02.160 that's a great question. But the thing about Russ is 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.760 because of his height, he has to find a lunching point. 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:09.480 He's when he's in his shotgun formation, he's a little 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:12.760 he's back further than a lot of your taller quarterbacks, 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.000 so he knows I mean his offensive line. These guys 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.280 are averaging six to five, so he has to get 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.280 out of the pocket to create those passing lanes because 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.400 of his height. And so it's gonna be very important 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.880 that even if the Cowboys don't get there, that at 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.040 least they get their hands up so they can knock 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.360 some balls down. But the pass rush is gonna be 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.560 pivotal in this game, and it's gonna come down to 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:36.040 those guys that you pointed out, Hill Poe, Tying Crawford 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:41.880 and Alder Smith and Tank. Lawrence's injury. Really it worries me. 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.760 We hadn't heard a lot about where he is right now, 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.600 but We're gonna need our full arsenal of guys to 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:49.640 get him because we're gonna have to get him on 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.960 the ground, and inspiring him with one of our linebackers 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:57.600 isn't the answer. You know, the Falcon's got three sacks 0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.439 on him, and that gives me a little bit of 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:04.679 of optimism because you can pressure Russell Wilson because he's 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:06.920 gonna hold onto the ball man He's gonna wait until 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:10.719 the last opportunity to get rid of that thing. Can 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:12.960 you get him on the ground though, is the other question, 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.920 because I think he'll take hits, but but he will, 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:18.920 He'll buy a time and either get away from you 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.760 or get the ball out eventually. The thing I love 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.560 about him the most is he's like the most calm 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.400 quarterback I've ever seen. Just I mean, it's almost like 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.800 he's in slow motion. He doesn't have the Peyton Manning 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.200 happy feet. You know, things are going crazy around him, 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:36.120 but he's just very common poise back there. I think 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.000 they can get pressure on him if he's willing to. 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:39.839 If if the coverage can hold up on the back 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:41.880 end and make him have to wait, I think he 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.080 might be able to hit him. Some question is how much. 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:48.400 Can you bring him down now? Yeah, you guys are 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.720 hitting on all really good points, really good, really good points, man. 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.040 And what I believe that is really the key. I 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.319 know we're probably going to another segment here, but running 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.760 of the key things is the only thing that has 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.240 ever worked. And believe me, I'm watching Russell Wilson for 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.440 a long time obviously with my Seattle ties. Whenever you 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.640 can get that interior push right and you can stunt 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.599 your defensive ends. I know we brought up Lawrence, we 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.120 brought up Aldon Smith, right, And being that those guys 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:13.640 are going to be in the stand up position, I 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.400 really think it puts them at a disadvantage versus their 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.200 hand being in the ground because they don't have the 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:23.719 then the ability to stunt as as as efficiently as 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:25.480 they would have with their hand in the ground. And 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:27.880 when I say stunt, I mean meaning that those guys 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.280 were putting their hands in the ground potentially right or 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.760 they're standing up and they're they're they're then letting the 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:36.680 interior defensive linement rush outside and they're crossing face. What 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.760 that does is it causes confusion. It causes confusion on 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:41.760 the offensive line. So when these guys are trying to 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.520 pass off somebody from the guard to the tackle, right 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:46.600 if the guard has somebody lined up over them, right, 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.080 and that person that goes now outside towards the tackle, 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.880 they're following those guys out until they pass them off 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:55.440 to the tackle. Meanwhile, Alden Smith and and d Law, 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:57.959 those guys would be crossing face now coming and bringing 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:01.040 that pressure interiorly while those your guys are now being 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:04.040 to contain guys. That's how you stop Russell Wilson Um. 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.480 It's the only thing that ever causes him any confusion 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.640 because he does like to spin outside in the pocket, 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.320 and when you have those guys pressure upside, he can't 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:13.520 step up and you won't allow him to get out. 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.680 Now all of a sudden, you provided some problems because 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:17.000 if as long as you don't allow for him to 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:20.040 have time, that's what causes people a lot of problems 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.520 with him, because he does buy time, and when he's 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:25.560 by his time, that's a long time for these dbs. 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:27.440 And this guy's in the secondary to try to guard 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:31.040 these four two or four three receivers that that Seattle has, 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:36.320 it's impossible. It's it's an eternity. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:38.000 a lot of top flip it real quick, and just 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.640 and just mentioned Sorry Kyle, Yeah, I just mentioned because 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:44.440 we're because we're on the we're on the Russ topic 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.920 right now. And Dak Ruscott, by the way, is your 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.120 is your offensive player of the week for weeks? Yes, 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:53.320 he is. Dallas calbum about that, which no surprise really, 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.600 but he Hegma brought up a really interesting point about 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:59.720 bus driver, right, And I think Russ early in his 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:02.200 career he kind of I mean, they let him kind 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.760 of manage the game and they had such a great 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:07.520 defense that you know, they tried to rely on on 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.880 that first and and and try to, you know, manage 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:14.960 the game offensively, and he look, he is slinging it around. 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:16.840 We know that. I think I think first quarter in 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.080 Week one he had like ten or eleven passes. I mean, 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.120 they're they're letting him loose. And to me, it's just 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:25.880 a reminder that I think we try to microwave quarterbacks 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.160 and what they're gonna be. And Tom Brady was the 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.760 same way. And I'm not saying Dak Prescott's gonna end 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:32.840 up with the career of Tom Brady or I think 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.480 Russ is headed to the Hall of Fame probably, um, 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:39.360 but you're seeing Dak. You're seeing the evolution of Dak's 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:44.400 game too. Where where you are where I know where 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:52.240 you going with this? I like it. I'm saying that 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.920 he can he can go win you a football game. 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:58.000 He doesn't have to rely on everything being perfect around him. 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.320 He lost his tight end last week. The offensive line 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:04.600 was a mess, and and the pressure was there a 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:06.440 lot of the time, and he still made it work 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.560 with four hundred fifty yards. I just we had to 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:10.280 talk to a whole lot of about Doc this week. 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.160 I just wanted to throw that out there, like, let's 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.520 let's give the man some credit. Like he's he's pretty 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:17.400 good Rob, no doubt that. Boys, he's bawling right these 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.880 first two guys. He's taking care of business. But let's 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.120 just bring up the fact that you mentioned Russell Wilson, 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.360 Tom Brady and Hall of Fame in the same since 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.000 No Dak, Chris Scott, I'm just I'm just making sure 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:33.000 that I'm not going there. I'm saying he's in his 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:36.120 fifth year and we're starting to see him. He fall 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.360 guy that can be that type of guy, and I 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:41.880 think that's what he doesn't have that long term deal yet, 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:50.400 will it happen? Yeah, we'll see, Rob But the first time, no, not. 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:53.200 What the Cowboys are banking on. What the Cowboys are 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:56.520 banking on is that he's gonna continue to ascend to 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.400 by the time he's thirty, he's gonna be that guy. 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:01.560 He's gonna be a guy. He's gonna be the offense 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:04.280 starts with Dak Prescott and obviously you know they want 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:06.880 Zeke here for the long term two. But I think 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:09.520 that's that's the track they're expecting him to be on. 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:13.880 We'll see. I'm just I'm just saying, no point, he's 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:16.720 he's doing a good job, he's elevating, and he's got 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:18.359 a long way to go to get to Russell Wilson 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:22.880 territory already. And I saw an interesting conversation, a very 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:26.480 fascinating one on Twitter yesterday and somebody asked, I can't 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:30.040 remember exactly what the account was, somebody asked, is there 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:34.639 a possibility that you can name five or six quarterbacks 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:38.359 that are better than Russell Wilson all time? And I 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:40.479 was like, yeah, sure, it's five or six quarterbacks. That's 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:43.320 easy stuff. And you start going down the list and 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:46.080 he kind of gets hard around five or six. It 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.600 gets to the point where you're you're saying he might 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:51.359 be in that conversation. I don't know. I would still 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:53.919 probably put him maybe six or seven compared to some 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.080 of the other greats. But you look at you look 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:59.360 at like a Tom Tom Brady, a Peyton Manning, I mean, 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.959 guys like that Joe Montana up there. But other than that, 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:06.400 Russell Wilson's at least kind of in that category already. 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:08.800 And if he adds another Super Bowl title sometime or 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:12.240 an MVP sometime, who knows what his possibilities could be 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:14.720 as his career goes along. And if Dak Prescott could 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.480 even sniff that, then all of a sudden, you're having 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.840 a fantastic career and the Cowboys fans would be quite 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:24.080 happy with that moving forward. But we're gonna come back 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:26.360 when we come back.

Russell Wilson heading into 0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:56.520 Sunday trying to get to two and one on the season, 0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:59.639 and in my opinion, the winner of this game is 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:04.600 completely and utterly vaulted into the conversation of a potential 0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:09.959 NFC favorite conversation because of the Wow, I really think so. 0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:13.560 And that's crazy, crazy, how things can turn around with 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:16.520 one week.
