1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

Speaker 1: time for the break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com with

Speaker 1: Nick Eatman and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Hey guys, Lucky, Hi, Hi, Hi,

Speaker 1: are you there? You're good. You're the one with the energy. Okay.

8
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm glad doesn't just making making judgments on my mood

9
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: after five freaking seconds. Oh, I can already tell his

10
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: grumpy Dave, Well, when you're in a really good mood,

11
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: you walking like dancing around and moving your arms. Always

12
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: in a good mood. Always me too when it comes

13
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: to that's very questionable. But all right, well, welcome back

14
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: to Cowboys Break. I'm glad to have the usual cast

15
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: here with me. What a blessed day, huh wow, surrounded

16
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: by you guys speaking of right, I was gonna say

17
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: that that's the person, okay. So I wanted to get

18
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: right into the injured and then the injured injuries and

19
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: shut in. Yeah yesterday. Hey, Black people that go to

20
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: black churches know what I was talking about when I

21
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: said that, Okay, it's something from Black Jay Man. Okay, Okay.

22
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: So we've talked about all the injury to go home,

23
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: all the injuries that the Cowboys have in their defense.

24
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: So that is still a big question mark. So let's

25
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: just get a quick update. Is there any changes as

26
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: to some of the guys that we've been seeing in

27
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: the injury report as far as being able to possibly participate.

28
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: David or Daniel Ross, Antoine Woods, Taco, Charlton, all of

29
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: them did not practice or not practicing right now. Sean Lee,

30
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin did not practice. Tavon Austin did more than

31
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: anyone else though, of those five dancing I'm gonna say,

32
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: which is to say what, Yeah, basic ask several people

33
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: why is he out? They said growing, and I said,

34
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: look at him right there like that. Nobody dances like

35
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: in a club like that. So he's ready. He looks

36
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: good to go, like he's working with in the chords

37
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: with Uh. Yeah, that's a good thing, right. So they

38
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: are going to probably bring up a defensive tackle Christian Ringo,

39
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: and I would be surprised if it's Tavon Austin because

40
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: I think they're getting him ready to come back. It's okay,

41
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: So back up for me for a second. So you're

42
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: saying that every single one of those defensive linemen are

43
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: expected to not play, or do you think I'm saying that.

44
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: I didn't say that. I'm practiced this all week. I don't.

45
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: I think Malik is the only guy in that group

46
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: that I would expect to play in this game. He's

47
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: been limited. Yeah, I didn't even gonna say him. Okay, Yes,

48
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: So the other four that have not practiced at all

49
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: this week is Nah Woods, Nah, Taco, Nah Ross Nah. Now,

50
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: your owner Jerry Jones did say he thought Antoine Woods

51
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: has a shot to play, But I'm not seeing him

52
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: as a guy that in the category of missus all

53
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: three practices and plays on Sunday at that position. To me,

54
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: it seems like you may that may be a position

55
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: where you kind of could, right. I just think of

56
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: it more as he's not at a protocol like I mean,

57
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: at some point you have to get out right. But

58
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: that's that's also a little different. That's also a little

59
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: bit different than let's say a knee. If your knee's

60
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: not feeling good today, the likely it's gonna feel good

61
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: tomorrow is probably not great the protocol from from what

62
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: I understand now, I don't know all the rules around it,

63
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: but it's a matter of whenever you're tested, you meeting

64
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: certain qualifications, which my assumption is that could happen tonight

65
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: into tomorrow and then he gets you know it, could

66
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: You want to get a visual of what I saw him? Sure,

67
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: And he's a really nice guy, funny guy walks out

68
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: of the shower, towel on. I'm giving you a visual, walking,

69
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: walking slowly. He gets to his locker, sits down, stealing

70
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: his towel. I won't I won't go further, but what

71
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: happened with the towel? But he's sitting there and he

72
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: just literally just staring in the blank, just sitting there,

73
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: like looking at nobody, doing absolutely nothing, just staring at

74
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: back up. Do you want another visual? Oh god, Amber,

75
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: I must be sitting in the locker room staring at

76
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: a guy in a towel walking. He's ahind me, still

77
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: looking at still staring, and I mean, you don't space

78
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: out after your shower. That's what I do, like I

79
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: kind of do sometimes. Yeah, and I haven't played football

80
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: in fifteen years. Are there forty people walking. Yeah, now

81
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: forty other people are walking around showering at the gym.

82
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: Then you know what is just saying his movement was

83
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,559
Speaker 1: very slow and that has nothing to do with the game.

84
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: But I'm saying as he got out of the show

85
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: where he got to his locker, he was just slow pacing,

86
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: you know, and he seems like a guy that's who

87
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: that's his way right right here here. I don't know

88
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: back to okay, I'm trying to add, what are you

89
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: able to count? I mean, what what are the Cowboys?

90
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: That's that's trouble? What are you left with? I just

91
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 1: typed it in here. I've got Crawford, MALIEK. Collins, Karen Reid,

92
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: and Christian Ringo. Yep, m m hm wow sound I'm

93
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: worried suspense. It's I mean, you've got Gregory, U d Law,

94
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: Dorian's Armstrong. Is that it? Yeah? So you got seven.

95
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: It's not ideal. One of these guys is going to

96
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: have to play. I mean, but honestly, it's it's one

97
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: of those things. Can you have a game? And the Cowboys,

98
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: I know they don't do this, but can you have

99
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: a game? Will you just say, look, my best two players.

100
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: I need you to play more than you typically play.

101
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: I need you to be out there instead of rotating

102
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: as much. I'm gonna give you a breather here and there,

103
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: but we're not going to start a series with you

104
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: on the sideline. You are two best players. These other

105
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: guys are much lesser experienced. We need you out there

106
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: and on the off chance it on the off chance

107
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,119
Speaker 1: that somebody can't get up in time, I would ask

108
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: that of Tyrone and DeMarcus, and that's I think that's

109
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: probably what the it's not going to rotate as much, man,

110
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: let's go, let's play. Kind of sucks too, is that

111
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: you have a game coming and I know we're focusing

112
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: this game, but you got another game coming up on Thursday.

113
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: Point that is a great point right after it, and

114
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: so you may not be able to do You may

115
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: have to rotate them because you need them to be

116
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: as fresh as they can for two games in four days.

117
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: And if that's a really great point. If you get

118
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: somebody in with a concussion in this game, I mean

119
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: the protocol, I mean it's very unlikely, yeah, that they

120
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: could even come back, and then that would get Dave

121
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: to get back on this soapbox, which I don't disagree about,

122
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: you know, Thursday games and of course Thanksgiving that they've

123
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,679
Speaker 1: been always going to be there yet but it's always

124
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: gonna be there. It's it's tough when you start, when

125
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: you're dealing with things like that, because every other situation

126
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: is protecting the players and making them healthy and all

127
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: this stuff. And you got ask these guys to play

128
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: Thursday games every week stuff. So do we want to

129
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: go through the inactis? I mean we got plenty to

130
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: choose from. Sure, um Tavon and Sean Lee and and

131
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: David Irving. For sure. It looks like Ross too, I

132
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: would say yea, or um, Mike White. What about you

133
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: guys like Joe Thomas to Conna Williams. I think they

134
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: both suit up. You think they both suited up? Okay,

135
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: Joe has been practicing all week and uh and Connors, Yeah,

136
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: they both have been limited since since earlier this week. Yeah,

137
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: it's this is an interesting cause. I mean, you you know,

138
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: you follow you follow unwritten rules about how this works.

139
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: Mike White has been inactive every week because they don't

140
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: need him. You could say the same thing. You know,

141
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: Adam Redmond is another guy if Connor Williams is healthy,

142
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: you would take his jersey away. But with the amount

143
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: of injuries, you might suit those guys up anyway, And um,

144
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: you could make Mike White active if you just absolutely

145
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: need to sit one of these injured guys. It just

146
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: he won't play. But yeah, so well, I mean it's

147
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: it's I think it's I think Ross, Irving, Lee, Tavon

148
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: and probably Taco are locks to not play, and then

149
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: Woods is a guy to watch. Um Woods is Woods

150
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: is the big variable for me is you know, if

151
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: he can get out of the protocol by tomorrow, maybe

152
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: he can play. But other than that, and then you know, Tavon,

153
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: Mike White, maybe you could sit either Connor Williams or

154
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: Adam Redmond. Yeah, that's what I'm looking at. It'll be interesting,

155
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 1: will be I mean, that's a lot of guys that

156
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: will be missing from your defensive line. That's a ton Well,

157
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: you know, maybe this is what they look at. It

158
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: one of those games that this is not one of

159
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: your best running teams that you're gonna face. And they

160
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: play a lot of nickel you know, I mean, I'm sorry,

161
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: they play a lot of three wides. The Cowboys will

162
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: be in Nickel and Diamond a lot. I don't know

163
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: if that that changes, uh, the approach, but you know,

164
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: I think I think it's interesting though we talked about

165
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: you think Connor's going to play? I still think Suaphilo

166
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: is going to get to start. Yes, that's gonna be

167
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: think it should be like that. So, yeah, I heard

168
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: anything else from Jerry or Jason in regards to this

169
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: whole Connor in Swahilo. Jerry talked about Connor. Yeah, well yeah, Jerry.

170
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: Jerry kind of talked about Connor today like a guy

171
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: who lost his job. So just you know, just in

172
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: the way he talked about it, he just kind of

173
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: draw that conclude the same the same thing, which the

174
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: same thing we've said on this show all this week is,

175
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, we he's a young guy. He's played up

176
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: to what our expectations were. We feel great about him

177
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: going forward. We think he's got the flexibility to play

178
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: all five spots on the line. We're not down on

179
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: him at all, which you know, I gain. I'm you're

180
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: if you're being clever and thinking about what he's saying,

181
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: there's a way to fit that into he's no longer

182
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm inferring from what he's saying that he's probably not

183
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: going to be starting, rather than emphatically saying when he's healthy,

184
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: he's our starter. Yeah, that's that's the spectrum of where

185
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: those comments can go, right which and I completely agree

186
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: for the record. I mean, you know, Jerry has a

187
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: reputation of being like the optimist, even to the point

188
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: that he's not always genuine. But I agree with what

189
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: he's saying about Connor. I think I think he was

190
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: you know, obviously he could have played better. You wish

191
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: he had, but I think he was within the reasonable

192
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: realm of expectations, and I thought he played well way

193
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: up more often than he played poorly. I mean, I

194
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: know when you when you draft that guy's second overall,

195
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: a second round sorry overall, and yeah second round, you

196
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: want them, you know, to come in and play and

197
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: be a starter. On this line, this is this is

198
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: kind of a different type of line. I mean, it

199
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. What if

200
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: what if he is a what if he's a game

201
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: day and what if he's a backup? But if that's

202
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 1: what his role is it, there'll be times where he

203
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: has to start this year. For this year, yeah, maybe

204
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: going into next year and you can say, oh my god,

205
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: you just wasted a second round pick. Yeah, but you

206
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: stole one. If that's the case, you stole a second

207
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: round pick by getting into a field if he's that good.

208
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: I understand this is just one game, but but my

209
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: point is is that when this line, this is a

210
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: very talented line, you got a lot of money there.

211
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: If you got a guy you're counting on your line

212
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: to be to be, you know, to help this running

213
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: game and help Dak that maybe you do need six

214
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: really good ones. Yeah, especially and he's kind of cheap

215
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: right now. So I don't look at it as wasting

216
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: a pick. If I feel like I stole one with

217
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: the second round, and because they're putting so much pressure

218
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: on this offensive line by the other things that they're

219
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: doing offensively, then I think it's important really for the

220
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys to continually be dropping second round, first round, third

221
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: round picks on their offensive line because remember, in another

222
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: what is it, two years year, Lyle Collins will be

223
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: up and you've got to make a decision on him.

224
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: Does this become his replacement in the event that they

225
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: decide they want to move on from him. Now you

226
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: move Hi back to his original position that he played

227
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: in college. I think there's a lot of things to

228
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: factor in on this. This is a pure hunch. I

229
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: haven't had a single conversation. I don't want anybody to

230
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: misread me. But I've seen this song and dance because

231
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: we really think Lyles a guard. We really think Lyles

232
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: a guard. Like I've heard this before and there's like,

233
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: well now we kind of think he's a tackle, and

234
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: you know, and they were convicted. He said, yeah, which

235
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: people put that on us. They're like, oh, you guys

236
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: just wrote that. Like we talk to people like we're

237
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: not just pulling this out of thin air. And so

238
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, here and Jerry today say, you know, we

239
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: like him at guard. We think he's got the flexibility

240
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: to play tackle. We also, I think his direct quote

241
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: was like it's just a little bit of a stretch,

242
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: but we even think he could maybe play some center.

243
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: I just I won't be surprised if they change their

244
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: tune about what they think he is before it's all

245
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: said and done. Especially and it is a big if,

246
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: but if Sue Philo seems like a guy that's really

247
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: an answer for them. You know, I'm not going to

248
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 1: be surprised if in March it's like, well, he's actually

249
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: really got these great feet and that makes him a

250
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: great tackle. Were are the smart ones for thinking about it,

251
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: and you're dumb for not thinking about it even though

252
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: people have been saying it for six months. Just it's

253
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: kind of keep it out. I be surprised. I won't

254
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: be surprised when they said, I mean look at Byron Jones.

255
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: I mean he's a tall, lanky corner. I mean of course,

256
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: it's like, wait a second, that's not what you're safety's

257
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: it's never a good idea until it's their idea. Like

258
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: that's pretty much. Love it well, but you just gotta

259
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: you know, it goes when you're talking in the public.

260
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: What you say in the public is what supports whatever

261
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: you want the public to know or what you want

262
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: the public to buy. Am I am I wrong? That's

263
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: just how it goes. Am I wrong? Right now? Well said,

264
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: And it's just that's that's That's the same for a

265
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: lot of things, and not just the Cowboys front off.

266
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: That's a pole people. It's not a good idea that

267
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: it's mine idea. Yeah, so let's go something to watch

268
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: something to I think I do that. Yeah, I think

269
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: I'm guilty. Event. One of the things I was thinking

270
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: about is I'm really excited and I hope that so

271
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: I feel is able to keep playing as well as

272
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: he did against the Eagles, because that's another aspect that

273
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: you're able to take off the list of excuses as

274
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: to why this team is maybe not performing at the

275
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: level that they should be. I thought you were going

276
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: to say because he gave you the first Spanish interview

277
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: since you've been here. Well, yeah, he's a great guy.

278
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: But aside from that start, yeah, yeah, yeah, it just

279
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: helps because you got a list of different issues and

280
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: it's hard to pinpoint exactly where the main problem is

281
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: coming from when you have different things happening at the

282
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: same time. Now, to me, i've crossed off the receiver position.

283
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: I've now I'm crossing off old line, which I had

284
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: crossed off a while but according to Derek, that was

285
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: a big issue. So now are you crossing this off there? Well,

286
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: it's only one game, so no, I'm not crossing. We

287
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: got the pen there, just over it. We're sitting there

288
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: and we're thinking at this point maybe this game I'll

289
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: be able to cross it. Yeah, we'll see Okay, and

290
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: then now you got Now you start your quarterback on

291
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: that list. He's still there. He's still there on the list.

292
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: And then you still got your coaches and stuff. But

293
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: to me, that's just but your quarterback is better if

294
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: your offensive line and your wide receiver are in tech. Right, Yeah,

295
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: you feel like that's gonna make your quarterback better. Right,

296
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: Those things are where everything else exactly kind of comes from. Right,

297
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: You'll get much better everywhere else with those two in plays,

298
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: and those guys will make those coaches look better. They

299
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: absolutely will. You've already seen that. All right, Well, let's

300
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: take our first break. When we come back, we'll get

301
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: into game day predictions and hit us on Twitter sending

302

Speaker 1: the Break, Welcome back to the second segment of the Break.

348
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 1: We are ready the most awaited for a segment of

349
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: the whole week game date prediction, So Nick, why don't

350
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: you go ahead and do the honor, all right. I

351
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: do think the Cowboys will play much better than they

352
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: did last time they went to Atlanta. I think Tyrand

353
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: Smith and Zekiel Elliott and Layton Vander esh because I mean,

354
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: we always talked about those three guys. Was the first

355
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: game that those three Lee, Tyrant and Zeke did not

356
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: play affected everything? Um and now even though Lee's not playing, uh,

357
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: Layton will be and Tyrn's gonna be there and Zeke.

358
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: I think it'll be better. I just don't trust the

359
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: fact that they're gonna stop Atlanta on the road. I

360
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: think Atlanta is very similar to the Cowboys in that

361
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 1: what team do you have or a team that can win?

362
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: You know, almost beat the Saints and should have beaten

363
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: the Saints or killed by the Browns. I think this

364
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: is a turning point game for them. I think it'll

365
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: be a tough one. I think Atlanta will win twenty

366
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: eighth twenty three Atlanta. Sorry, apologize, what do you say

367
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: not to y'all? Just to assistant coach? That's fair, That's fair?

368
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: All right? Next? Yeah sure, I really I really hate

369
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: myself for this pick because I pride myself on like

370
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,959
Speaker 1: show me. I gotta see it to believe it, you know,

371
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: like they played really well against Philadelphia. I don't know

372
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: if that's that's not good enough to be a trend,

373
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: Like it's not good enough that I should trust them,

374
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: but it was just so impressive. And this Falcons team

375
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: is like probably even more schizophrenic than the Cowboys are, honestly.

376
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I know they have a high powered offense,

377
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: there's still four and five, they're thirtieth in total defense,

378
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: They're given up thirty points a game. They're much better

379
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: at home, But I'm just banking on seeing that running

380
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: game again. Like that's really what this all hinges on

381
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 1: for me is if you can run for one seventy

382
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: against the Eagles, you should be able to crack two

383
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: hundred against the Falcons. That is going to stop even

384
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: the best offense from being completely effective. I think on

385
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: top of that, I've said this all week, said at

386
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: Wednesday when we preview their offense. Red zone, red zone,

387
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: red zone. Falcons are so good at home in the

388
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,479
Speaker 1: red zone. The Dallas defense has been good at stopping

389
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: teams in the red zone. It's a hallmark of Rod

390
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: Marinelli's um. So I think I think they're gonna find

391
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: a way I didn't, you know, I was really blown

392
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: away by how much better this offense looked in Philadelphia.

393
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: And I think the defense, you know, if they can

394
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: hold them to a field goal or two or maybe

395
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: get a takeaway, I think the Cowboys can score twenty

396
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: eight on these guys. I'll say they can score thirty one.

397
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: And I think they can hold the Falcons to like

398
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: twenty eight. I mean, it's it's not gonna be a

399
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a shootout, but I think they can

400
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: do it. Um that would be the next highest um

401
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: final score for them. They would be their highest output

402
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: of the year, wouldn't right, certainly their highest output up

403
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: the road. I mean, you know, they're they're they're a

404
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: good team at home. They scored thirty one against Carolina,

405
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: thirty seven against the Saints in a loss, thirty six

406
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: against the Bengals in a loss, thirty four against the Bucks.

407
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: They didn't only score twenty three against the feisty Giants defense.

408
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: So it can be done. Like you know, they're they're

409
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: certainly not unstoppable. And I think, like I said, if

410
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: let's say they get to the red zone four times,

411
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: if you can hold them to a fuel goal, or

412
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: get a takeaway once. I really think that can be

413
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: good enough. So eight Cowboys. As much as we've talked

414
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: all week about how great the Atlanta offense is, and

415
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 1: I really do believe they have a good offense. Last week,

416
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,239
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns defense held them to sixteen points. So

417
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: it's not like they are so good that they can't

418
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: be stopped. This is not an offense that can't be stopped.

419
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys defense has played really well most

420
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: of the year. This will be their biggest challenge because

421
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,239
Speaker 1: I don't think they faced an offense quite like this

422
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: one with as many weapons as this one has. But

423
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: I think it still comes back to the fact that

424
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: kind of what Dave was alluding to there that if

425
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: they can run the ball well, it's the age old adage, right,

426
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: if you can keep if you can run the ball well,

427
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: you can control the clock and you control the tempo

428
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: of the game. That keeps the opponent's offense on the sideline.

429
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: And if you can do that, you limit their opportunities.

430
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: The more you limit their opportunities, the better the Cowboys

431
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: defense will be. And so I think it goes back

432
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: to if this offensive line and Zikulelli can do what

433
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: they did last weekend, control the game, be able to

434
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: run the ball really well, and I again I don't

435
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: think that. I think they're actually playing a defensive front

436
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: that is not as strong as what they played last

437
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: week and they were able to have a lot of

438
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: success against So I think the Cowboys can do the

439
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: same thing here. This is all going to be a

440
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: function of who's going to show up for both teams.

441
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be the best of them or is

442
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: it going to be the worst of them? And we've

443
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: seen both teams do that this year. Some games they

444
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: show up and it's the best of them. Some weeks

445
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: they show up and it's the worst of them. I

446
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: actually think Dallas can can win this game, which because

447
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: I think the offensive line, the way that it's constituted

448
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: right now, is going to be better than it's been

449
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: and I think that's the way that they're gonna win

450
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: the game. I just I agree twenty Cowboys twenty four

451
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: to twenty. Yep, I hate that. I agree with you.

452
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: Like I said, I mean, they don't do they deserve

453
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt, But that the whole thing.

454
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: If you're gonna say to do the Cowboys deserve the

455
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt. Then you'd have to say the

456
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: exact same thing about Atlanta, because Atlanta's as getsophrenic as

457
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,959
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have been good at home though, I get it,

458
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: but it's been just a schizophrenic as the Cowboys. Yeah,

459
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: I can make this argument either way. I do think

460
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: you could say that, you know, if the Cowboys, things

461
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: would have been different last year, if the Cowboys would

462
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: have had those three players, I mean way different, especially

463
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: at the left tackle position. And now they've got those

464
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: type of players and vander esh Lee, and I think

465
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: you can make that argument that Atlanta is kind of

466
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: what they were last year, a little bit different here

467
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: and there, but about the same. The Cowboys are way better.

468
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: So fun fun fact. I know you've got to make

469
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: your prediction. But the roof's going to be open, so

470
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: oh I forgot they had a note. Does this change

471
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: the outcome of the game. I know, I don't know

472
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: what the weather is. I got to look up the weather.

473
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: Let me see, I might change my pick. It's gonna

474
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: be that's like forties. Oh yeah, then great, we'll sticking

475
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: with it. That's perfect workout way. Yeah, that's great. It's

476
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: not good. It's probably gonna be fifties. They're gonna open

477
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: it up for at forty five sixty four with a

478
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: low of forty one'll it'll be in the This game's

479
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: at noon, so it's gonna be probably about fifty some degrees.

480
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: That's perfect though it's football and sunny. It'll probably sunny too. Yeah,

481
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,719
Speaker 1: weather permitting, so like if it rains, I'm sure they

482
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: won't open it. But something something great, So you're sticking

483
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: to yeah, I mean, yes, okay, Cowboys can't playing seventy,

484
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: they can't playing fifty. What's your what's your pick? You

485
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: know what. I think the offense is not gonna be

486
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: struggling as much as far as scoring points. It's gonna

487
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: be a tough one. But I'm really curious to see

488
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: how the Cowboys defensive line affects the game and how

489
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: that affects the linebackers performance. At the end of the day,

490
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys are gonna lose, and they're gonna

491
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 1: lose the Falcons thirty four thirty one. Yeah, yeah, okay, okay,

492
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: very simple, all right, we'll see how it goes. Yeah,

493
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: we don't split very often. It's usually no, it's usually

494
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: like overwhelmingly weeks ago. We think about it, though you

495
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: got a four and five team going against the four

496
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: and five team, it would make sense that it's probably

497
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: two and two on what think's going to happen. And

498
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: and like you said, we can make an argument both ways, right,

499
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: but you just don't know. And then and then the

500
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys they're just obviously not consistent. So it's like, Okay,

501
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: yes we saw great things last weekend, but can't they

502
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: bring it over to this week? Right? And Atlanta was

503
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: not good last week? But is this the week they

504
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: get back on back? Like it's the same thing and

505
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: both teams. Davis, where I was last week? I picked

506
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I didn't really love the pick, and I

507
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: really kind of wanted to back out of it, but

508
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: I didn't, and I you know, so, yeah, I got

509
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: the beat. You're kind of the same. But even now

510
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: I don't love it. But like I do think this

511
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: is a favorable matchup for Dallas. Like I said this,

512
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: we did our roundtable video an hour ago, and I

513
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: like the Cowboys defense odds of doing something against the

514
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: Falcons offense more than vice versa. Like if this Falcons

515
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: defense just shuts down the Dallas offense after what we

516
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: saw in Philly. Then I don't even know. Yeah, I

517
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: don't know. It's so weird. Then up is down and

518
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: down is up because they're they're terrible. Yeah, and I

519
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: know that. I mean the Cowboys have been terrible, but

520
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 1: four hundred yards against a much better defense on the road,

521
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 1: I mean, what's going on? It's gonna be tough. Hey, Ken,

522
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: do we still have Bruce on the line, Bruce Carter? Yes,

523
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: we do, Bruce Bruce from Texas. Hey, what's going on? Hey?

524
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: I'd bet a question I asked one another shows this.

525
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: I know this last week we used to fullback a

526
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: lot more Rod Smith, and I got to think of,

527
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: you know, Rut did such a job. That's you're selling

528
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: in for Zeke. What about having Rob Smith and he

529
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: in the backfield on the majority of the plays? You know,

530
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: he could block, he can run, and he can also

531
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: goal for passes. Who's he taking on? Who are taking

532
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: off the field? One of the tight ends they don't

533
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: do anything, so h back position, laying him up as

534
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. He could lead, block or whatever. I'd

535
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: rather have him on the field the majority of plays

536
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: in our tight ends. What about Jamay's all the wally

537
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: instead of him. I mean, he's well, they could rotate

538
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: a Wally and Rob Smith in and out, you know,

539
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: just have both of them, one of them out there

540
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 1: in the backfield at the same time as Zeke and rot.

541
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: In the old days, we hit Daryl Johnson out there

542
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 1: for the majority plays doing it all. So hey, we

543
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: didn't have a full back out there full time. We

544
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: didn't talk about it a lot. Yeah, I mean that

545
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: was probably the game where Jamay's played the most and

546
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: the best against the Eagles, Like he had a nice

547
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: out for what they asked him to do. Um. I

548
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with what he's saying. I mean, I

549
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna put Rod out there anymore often

550
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: than they have been. But like I've been, I feel

551
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: like we've been saying that a lot. Is like, have

552
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: these tight ends merited the amount of snaps they get

553
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: outside of Jeff Swain? Have they really? But that's just

554
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: that's just what this coaching staff wants to do. They

555
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: value that. So I don't think you're gonna see it change,

556
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: especially you know, Dalton Schultz is getting more involved and

557
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: Ricos had his moments, So I don't think they're gonna

558
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: trend away from that, but I wouldn't mind seeing it. Yeah,

559
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: I mean he does give you you're talking about Rod,

560
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: he gives you something a little bit more offensively maybe

561
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: than what you get from those tight ends. But the

562
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: thing is, if you're gonna do that, you better get

563
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: the ball to him at least some of the time,

564
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: because I don't think I don't think he's a better

565
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: blocker necessarily than those tight ends. I think he's probably

566
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: in the same boat with them. And I just kind

567
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: of tried to like put him out on the edge

568
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: so he's kind of like just it's one or the other.

569
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: Like it's not really an appreciable difference from a blocking standpoint.

570
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: But if you feel like you're gonna get a little

571
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: bit more offensively and maybe getting him the ball a

572
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: few times, then you better do it. Don't just put

573
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: him out there as as window dressing. You better use

574
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: him a little bit to force teams to recognize that

575
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: he is a bigger threat than maybe the tight ends are.

576
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: And if you're not going to use him and stick

577
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: with you're tight end, and you'll probably be better off

578
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: when it comes to just blocking. If you need to block,

579
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: and I think you could also get pretty creative in

580
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: certain situations because Sleek, I mean, as soon as he's

581
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: on the field, you know, defenses are looking out for

582
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: him and expecting him to make a play. But Sick

583
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: is also a really good blocker. He's being able to

584
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: make very great blocks. And if you were to do

585
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: a certain place where you kind of just get a

586
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: little creative and you seek as a blocker instead for

587
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: one and maybe sneak rod Smith somewhere, you might you

588
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: might get something out of I mean, think about if

589
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: you had. You know, teams are already starting shade a

590
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: little bit over to the side where a Cooper is.

591
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: So let's say they're shading a little bit over there,

592
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: and let's say you send Rod out into the other flat.

593
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: And let's say then you put Zeke somewhere in the

594
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: middle of the field. You stress this defense sideline the

595
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: sideline now and if they choose to say, we're not

596
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: going to worry about Rod Smith. A rod has a

597
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: little bit of ability. We've seen him take it to

598
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: the house before, So get the ball out there in

599
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: the flat to him and see what he can do

600
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: with he He's a big body on top of that.

601
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: So I just think you got to use him. If

602
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna do that, you better use him or it's

603
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: not really worth it. If yeah, all right, let's take

604
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: our final break. When we come back, we'll keep answering

605
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: some of y'all's questions. So keep calling, keep sending tweets,

606
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: and we'll get to them. Well, the player can look

607
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: good on paper, it's one he's out on the field

608
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: that you really find out what he's made of. That's

609
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: why the Cowboys rely on more than just stats and

610
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: scouting reports when building their team. When picking a tractor,

611
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,479
Speaker 1: it's why you should rely on more than just specs

612
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: and features. You've got to take it out and put

613
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: it to the test. The Cowboys did when they named

Speaker 1: h It's actually first day starts April twenty fifth. It's

655
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: a Thursday. I don't really know yet. Nashville is not

656
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: in Dallas because they got other stuff going on here.

657
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: But you know what, Tommy's John. Tommy John is very

658
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: similar to the Cowboys first round next year. There's no

659
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: reason to pick. That's what Tommy John. That's what they're

660
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: really trying to hope for. When it comes to weggies,

661
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: you don't have to do that. You don't have to

662
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: adjust because they've got the best underwear in the world.

663
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: No reason to pick, says, never pick again. So when

664
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: it comes to the Cowboys first round, same thing. They

665
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: won't be doing that, we don't think. But get Tommy John.

666
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: Make sure you go to Tommy john dot com Fort Lacy.

675
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, Okay, moving on. Here's a question from

676
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: Twitter guy. Poor guy had no idea. You know, I'm

677
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: just imagining, like hearing it. If my post shower, if

678
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,720
Speaker 1: my post shower routine got put on blast on the radio,

679
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: I would not be very happy. Hey, he is not

680
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: being put on blast. I'm just saying I just don't

681
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: want people talking publicly about what I do after I

682
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: get out of the shower, you know, like when you're cancust. Yeah, concut, Okay,

683
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 1: thanks a lot. Now you're making me feel horrible. It's fine.

684
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: I need to go apologize. You guys are so mean

685
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: coming out of the shower and I put it on

686
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: the radio. Sorry, what's your question? What's the question? Thank you?

687
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: Here's the question. In regards to Noah Brown. We have

688
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: talked about him quite a while, and then we finally

689
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: got to see some of him on the field, which

690
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily didn't really didn't Claver. It played like a

691
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: guy who hadn't played football in a while, right, right,

692
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: didn't play great from Noah. I mean, what are some

693
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: of the expectations and thoughts about him and what he

694
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: could possibly do in the upcoming games? You know, it's funny,

695
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 1: I know how you felt. I'm the Noah Brown guy,

696
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to defend him too much. He

697
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: had I think he had two. Really just can't have

698
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 1: those types of penalties lining up in the wrong spot.

699
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: Did he have a false start too, He had two penalties,

700
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: and he had a couple of block miss block where Yeah,

701
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: it's kind of he just was rusty and he I

702
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: don't blame him as much as I blame the coaches

703
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: for thinking he'll be fine. Just put him out there. Well,

704
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: rusty is a good word, and that's you know, we

705
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: talked to Jason Garrett. We we talked to Jason Garrett

706
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 1: about every little inane wrinkle of the game, like nothing

707
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,439
Speaker 1: is too small for us to not turn it over,

708
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 1: and you know that came up. And just from listening

709
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: to him, I don't think they're gonna give up on him.

710
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: I think, if anything, they're like, yeah, he was rusty,

711
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: he needs more playing time and he'll get acclimated and

712
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: he'll be fine. So I don't know exactly what his

713
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,240
Speaker 1: role is going to look like, but I think he'll

714
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: he'll have a part to play in this game. I don't.

715
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: I think they really like what he can do, like

716
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: as a blocker and his potential as a receiver, and

717
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: I think they're going to give him opportunities to be

718
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: better and I and I agree with that that they should.

719
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: I just thought it was getting in that first half,

720
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: it was getting to a point where you know, surely

721
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: they're not going to let him continue to struggle like

722
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: this because you know this this is offense, has always

723
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,479
Speaker 1: been a struggle in Philadelphia, and they're doing some nice

724
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: things and he's kind of he was derailinging it early.

725
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: But and we've seen how the penalties, how much they

726
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: can get down there. But I think he calmed down

727
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: a little bit. I didn't really see him. He did

728
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: too after a little bit. Your exact quote was get

729
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: him out of the game. It was that Nick or

730
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,479
Speaker 1: Mickey both right, You were not you're going to see

731
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: doing anyway? Go ahead, Yeah, but I don't think you

732
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: give up on him. And you know, look for him

733
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: if he's on the field every single time as the blocker.

734
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: I mean we see it. Everyone sees it. I'm sure

735
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: the guys that do quality control for the Falcons also

736
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: see it. So at some point, like you said about

737
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: rod Smith, I mean, at some point, you're gonna do

738
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: something different with it. It's gonna have to go down

739
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: the field and make a you know, throw the ball

740
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: to him. All right, Joseph wants to know, do you

741
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: guys think that our first offense play against the Clana

742
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: is gonna be a play pass play, first offense play

743
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 1: against it Clana be a pass play. How about a play? Yes? Um,

744
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean it kind of because I could see it

745
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: going just play action pass. It's a bad secondary, they

746
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: know the Cowboys? What about what about both? What like

747
00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: a relief? We leave here we go? I mean I

748
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 1: don't always associate that word with you. Everyone does too.

749
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: Every time it happened on any game in college, pro,

750
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 1: high school, Nick's gonna get tweeted one. Just the other day.

751
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: Did you see the Auburn game? You know, somebody Auburn, Tennessee.

752
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, like they ran it for forty seven

753
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: yard touchdown. I'm like seeing it works, play action pass?

754
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: Do it all? Right? Do you guys expect and we

755
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: talked about this too, do you guys expect the Cowboys

756
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: to have someone follow Hud Jones around? Not really? I

757
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: maybe maybe you know, Julio moves around so much, he's

758
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: incredibly versatile. Um, you might see it more so than

759
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: than others, like especially in sub packages and stuff like

760
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: if it's dime or something, you know you don't want

761
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: Julio lined up on I'm not trying to throw shade

762
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: at Jordan Lewis, but you might prefer to have your

763
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: number one corner on their number one in a just

764
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,439
Speaker 1: body type two. Yeah, I mean, um, but I think

765
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: for the most part, I think they're gonna play their game.

766
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: Get Garrett. I wish Garrett loves to talk about this

767
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 1: Seattle defense and that they just they play their defense

768
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: like they trust their men to handle their assignments and

769
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: they do. They just straightforward, it's simple and well, that's

770
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 1: what they run. Now, that's what Chris Richard's specialty is.

771
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: And so I and Rod doesn't like doing that. I'm

772
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: not saying I agree with it, because that's Garrett's mantra too,

773
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: like he believes you stick to it and you keep

774
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: doing it, if you do it long enough, then it's

775
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 1: eventually go. But now let's let's just go to Atlanta

776
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: on on Wednesday night and they're talking about it, like,

777
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: here's the thing, guys like cowboys are gonna do what

778
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: they do. That's what they do. There's it's simple. Like

779
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: you just said, it's simple for them to understand. It's

780
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: definitely simple for us to pick apart. So what we're

781
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: gonna do. We're gonna change things around. We know they're

782
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: not doing anything. Geta will be there and Byron Jones

783
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: will be there. But what we should do is move

784
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: a guy here. And you know, I mean, like when

785
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 1: everything is so simple, when the scheme is so simple,

786
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: it's also simple to fix. You're out, No, and that.

787
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: But the point of it is, and not saying that

788
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 1: I agree with this, because by the way, I don't,

789
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: But the theory here is that if you do the

790
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 1: same thing and it is simple, you'll be so good

791
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 1: at it that it doesn't matter what they throw at you.

792
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: You're that good at explaining what you do, but that

793
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 1: it won't matter. But why was Seattle so good on defense?

794
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: Why it wasn't I mean, yeah, yeah, the Legion of

795
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 1: Boom and all that stuff. They were great. They got

796
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: after the quarterbacks ass They brought five or six different

797
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: guys and they they they brought them in all the time,

798
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: rotated and made a great rotation. And that's where it

799
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: comes to. And I'm looking at the injury report and

800
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: every guy, you know, the depth, it's all on there.

801
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: So it's if you can you can play that way.

802
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 1: It's that we do what we do when you know

803
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 1: that defensive line is going to get after the quarterback. Yeah,

804
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: that don't. If it's not as consistent then then it is.

805
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes you do have to to wrinkle things up a

806
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: little bit. That's that's my thought. I actually I think

807
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: that they're right it. You can do what you do

808
00:40:56,200 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: if you're insanely talented. Seattle's defense was generational. Rod's defenses

809
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: in Chicago had Peppers or Locker Briggs and Peanut Tillman,

810
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 1: so as they were in Tampa Bay. If you got

811
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: those guys, you can absolutely do what you do. If

812
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: you don't, you should probably mix it up a little bit.

813
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: So I don't think Byron needs to shadow Julio, but

814
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: maybe follow him a little bit. I certainly would like

815
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: to see some blitzing in this game, especially with how

816
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, depleted the D line is. I don't know

817
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: if they're gonna do that. Doesn't Julio go into slot,

818
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: He goes everywhere. So that's the other part you have

819
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: to think about when you say you're going to travel

820
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: a guy, how do you feel about it, even if

821
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: he's your number one guy? How do you feel about

822
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: him playing in the slot if he's not a customer

823
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: plan in the slot. That could be a bit of

824
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: a challenge for him. And that's why I think this

825
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: makes sense is Julio is like, as close as a

826
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver gets to a tight ends build, Byron's done that. Yes,

827
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: you have to go into inside to play tight ends.

828
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,720
Speaker 1: Byron's got a lot of experience doing that. True, Anthony

829
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: Brown's got plenty of experience playing on the outside too.

830
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: We've seen that going back to his rookie year. So

831
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: you don't think there's a big jump for them to

832
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: do it from a standpoint of Byron having to adapt

833
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 1: to moving to all they and I don't. I don't

834
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 1: think that means Byron needs to play across from Julio

835
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: on all sixty five snaps. I just I think it

836
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: would be smart for him to give it a world. Yeah,

837
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: sometimes I agree it. We'll see if they actually do that.

838
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: I honestly don't think that. I think he will a

839
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,919
Speaker 1: little Like like I said, he's not going to follow

840
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: him all over the field, but I think he will,

841
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: Like if he goes inside, you might see Byron follow him.

842
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be enough to be noticeable. I

843
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 1: think we'd have to go back and be like we'll

844
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: be after the game. We will say like, oh, did

845
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,439
Speaker 1: he do that? He do it a couple of times

846
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: he lined up. You'll see it on Twitter or the

847
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: first time it happens, he'll see it. One he'll see it. Yeah,

848
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,919
Speaker 1: there's eighty you knows of what happens on the play, right, Yeah,

849
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: that'll be where you figure out and stuff and they're like, wait,

850
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: who was trying to cover him on that play? And

851
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, now Byron's covering him and

852
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: it starts changing. Now we know. Yeah, so all right,

853
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm hesitant whether to ask another question or not because

854
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: Shannon comes do it. Nobody cares about Shannon. Yeah, exactly.

855
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: That was perfect. All right, last question and yards to

856
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz. Can you speak about him? He seems like

857
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:15,240
Speaker 1: he's got a toe hole on the offense to hold

858
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: to toe hold, I don't know what that means. He is, like,

859
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, one of you guys, No, that was

860
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 1: a drop, Okay, he's got a toe hold. He's just

861
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,760
Speaker 1: like he's got he grabbed a little bit, like he's

862
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: just grabbing on. Yeah. Hey, he made a nice play

863
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: in the game. That was That was big. They were

864
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: kind of you know, pinned back. They were seeing how

865
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: they were going to respond from that drive. The game

866
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: was tied and he broke a tackle, went seventeen yards,

867
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 1: kind of changed the field position a little bit. That

868
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: was a big player. And that's two games in a row, No,

869
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: two out of three. He didn't do anything against Tennessee.

870
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: I don't believe, but um so he's he's doing some things.

871
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't know about a toe hold, I don't know.

872
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: I didn't use that. I think of I don't I'm

873
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: not trying to sound mean, but after or Swain, I

874
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: think of the other three tight ends as like a

875
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: grab bag. I'm like, well, one of them will probably

876
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: do something in this game. We'll see, right, We'll see

877
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: which one it is. So that's how I feel. Okay,

878
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: well look at that right on time. Thank you guys

879
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 1: so much for tuning eating once again, let's hope the

880
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: outcome of this game is good for the sake of

881
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: everyone's sanity. So for Derrik Kingleton, Nicki Man, David Hammett,
