Speaker 1: studios and you are listening to the Players Lounge. I'm

8
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: here with the Ultimate Survivor. Danny mccraig got his first immunity,

9
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: you know, his first immunity idol last week on Survivor.

10
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: So he's feeling good. It's just me. I'm just your

11
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: average box safety over here. So that a Burberry shirt.

12
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: I don't know nothing average about you. Go out a game. Word,

13
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: I had a rough week. I wouldn't bought me some burdens.

14
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: You gotta do that hash. You gotta splurge on yourself.

15
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: It's about making yourself happy. Sometimes it's speaking of being happy.

16
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: It is a victory Friday. We were able to watch

17
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: the game last night, and look, I'm just gonna dive

18
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: straight into it. Let's get let's dive straight into the

19
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: defensive side of the footballers. To me, that was the

20
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: most impressive part about this game. This defense showed up

21
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: and showed out. So, d Matt, I'm gonna give the

22
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: floor to you. You you were the man that said

23
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: it from the beginning, hired dan Quinny's gonna turn this

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: defense around top ten. I'm not so sure about the

25
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: top ten, but you were ahead of the mark about

26
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: hiring dan Quinn. So I'll let you go ahead. I'll

27
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: give you the floor. What did you think about listen

28
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: for them? Okay, listen, listen. Let me ask you this

29
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: before we get into it. Okay, top ten defense. This

30
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: is what This is what I say we should at

31
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: least do it to like half a meal. Listen, listen, listen.

32
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: This is why I say that. This is why I

33
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: say that, not with people, not a meal, a meal,

34
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: half a meal and half half a meal. Okay, this

35
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You you were watching, you were watching

36
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: this defensive play, all right? Yeah, outside of like total yards,

37
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: Outside of total yards, would you agree that this defense

38
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: outside of one to two games this season has looked

39
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: like a top ten defense. If you don't know how

40
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: many yards they were giving us some of them were

41
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: under certain circumstances. Even last night. You see this last touchdown,

42
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: they hold them like three or five or whatever, three

43
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: fifty and all of a sudden there are four or

44
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: five right empty game. Um so I think, I think

45
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: because of that is gonna be hard for us to

46
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: get to like top ten because of just the yards

47
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: giving up, but the way this the team is playing, turnovers,

48
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: stops on third down, not giving up scores like we

49
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: give up a big play every once in a while,

50
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: and that just started happening in these in these recent games.

51
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: But when I talk about when you see our defense

52
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: plays better based off our offense plays. Now, offense didn't

53
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: have a great game less like, but our defense played

54
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: from ahead and we are able to do that. Our

55
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: pass rush and the way that we're able to get

56
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: our eyes on the ball and read the quarterback and

57
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: make those plays. We're almost unstoppable. Which is the issue,

58
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: right because you see you have a Michael Parsons what

59
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: he has tax he got ten sacks. Now you see

60
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: you see guy Tank came back and for his first

61
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: game back games man looked good. Dbes look Anthony Brown

62
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: bounce back game came back, played, played a good game.

63
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: Trail un did should have had three picks? Um curse?

64
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: Can we talk about curse? Yeah? We could go ahead. Man,

65
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: Like when you talk about somebody maximizing the opportunity because

66
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: he came in as a guy where you're like, it's

67
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: a one year deal. We're not really sure we'll see

68
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: hype plays. This dude is looking like a bona fide

69
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: star in the league. Like dan Quinn is putting them

70
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: in a position around the line of scrimmage to make

71
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: those plays. You see him rushing every once in a while,

72
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: he's holding the edge, he's making tackles in the backfield,

73
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: he's bawling all overall. Dan Quinn has the post on

74
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: this defense, and the post is we are rolling. They

75
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: are Neville Gallimar coming back, Randy Gregory coming back one

76
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: more time for the people in the Galimar, coming back,

77
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory coming back. If you get a chance to

78
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: get this offense back to rolling how they were before

79
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: and we're playing ahead just by a touchdown, just by

80
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: ten points, I think that we will be unstoppable on defense.

81
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: It's that it's that leakage that we get in the

82
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: ring game, which we got to try to find him

83
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: way to fix it. I think, I think Neville and

84
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: Randy will will help us when we get to that point.

85
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: But outside of that, you clean up a couple of

86
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: big plays and this defense is stout. So I'm like,

87
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: really really happy and impressed with what dan Quinn has

88
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: been able to do, and also the players buying in

89
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: and being able to up their games since dan Quinn

90
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: has been here as well. Yeah, I'm gonnagree with you

91
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: one hundred percent on that one, all right. I mean, look,

92
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: dan Quinn has come in here and he's definitely shifted

93
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,799
Speaker 1: to molder. He gave him this, this winning mentality, whatever

94
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: the case may be, He's got this defense flying on

95
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: all cylinders. You just mentioned Curse, who was supposed to

96
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: come in here, and I thought, like a majority of

97
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: the people, you know, he's gonna come in here, contribute

98
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: on special teams. He might play a little bit in

99
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: a dime package or something like that, but his overall career,

100
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: you're looking at it like, Okay, this guy, he can't

101
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: be the guy, but he has come in here and

102
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: it's started from training camp. This guy started in training camp.

103
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: He became that leader, that vocal leader. As we see,

104
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: he has the green dot on his helmet. So he's

105
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: the guy out there making all the calls, getting everybody adjusted.

106
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: And if you look at it, that pregame huddle, if

107
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: you look at it when they're all getting done stretching

108
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: and everybody's coming to hypeing everything up, who's in the

109
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: middle of that circle, it's this guy is in there

110
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: or jay Ron I'm sorry, jay Ron curse. He's in

111
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: there hyping these guys up. So not only is he

112
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: a lead by example guy, but he's a vocal leader

113
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: as well, and that's what this defense needs. And overall,

114
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: getting back to the Saints game, this defense was extremely

115
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: impressive to me. I mean, just to be able to

116
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback, like you mentioned, DeMarcus Lawrence coming

117
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: back from a ten game injury prone or injury injury,

118
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: was out for ten games for the injury. He came back,

119
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: he look like he didn't miss a step. The guy

120
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: him a sack if the edge rolling. Of course, Parsons

121
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: was bawling. We're gonna talk about him a little bit later.

122
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: But this defense bottled up this Saint's attack. Now, granted,

123
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: you know the Saints was hurting a little bit. You know,

124
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: their team is hurting. You know, they got Taysom Hilling

125
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: in that quarterback, and I fought for from the beginning.

126
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, going into this game, that Cowboys

127
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: defense will be able to take advantage of Taysom Hill.

128
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy who's only throwing eight

129
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: passes so far this season, so I thought we'd be

130
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: able to take advantage of him. I knew he was

131
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: gonna be you know, good running because this guy's a load.

132
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: I mean about two forty five wild cat. He's back

133
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: there like basically a running back, and they got speed.

134
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: The guy has some juice, so he ran over for

135
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: over a hundred. So that's one thing the Cowboys have

136
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: got to get better is that run defense. In my opinion,

137
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: because when you go against teams once you get to

138
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs that can run the ball well as well

139
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: as have a good quarterback, it might cause a little

140
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: bit dilemma. But last week or last night, they did

141
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: a great job on Taysom Hill. As far as throwing

142
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: the football. They intercepted them four times, and to me,

143
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: the most important part about that interceptions they were able

144
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: to turn those interceptions into points, whether it's them taking

145
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: the ball back or getting the offense in great position.

146
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: So I mean to me that this defense played lights

147
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: out and you can't say enough about Dan Quinn and

148
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: what he's been able to do for this defense. And

149
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: then substituting the form Mark McCarthy, who had COVID, he

150
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: came in there, oversaw the entire the scheme of everything.

151
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: He didn't let the moment get too big for him,

152
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: and he went out there and they did what they

153
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: were supposed to do. Defensively, they dominated a team that

154
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: they knew they had the upper hand on. They had

155
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: the better talent, they had the better individuals, and they

156
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: did what they had to do. Now, offensively, we'll get

157
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: into it a little bit, but we gotta make sure

158
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: we get this thing rolling a little bit because we

159
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: right now the defense is not the reason this Cowboys

160
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: team is lackluster in games. They should be blowing people out. Yeah,

161
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: And the truth is the defensive has had more good

162
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: games than the offense has. I would agree with that.

163
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: I would agree at the beginning of the season you

164
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: would have came in here and said, hey, man, if

165
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: the defense is gonna hold of offensive majority of the time, right,

166
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: you'll be like, oh man, Yeah, y'all crazy. Yeah, that's

167
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: but at this point, you're looking at the defense to

168
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: have to play a certain way in order for our

169
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: offense to get back on track, because, like you said,

170
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: we're dealing with injuries. We're trying to figure out the

171
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: offensive line. We're dealing with an injury from Zeke, So

172
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: they're looking at the defensive. Dan Quinn has these guys

173
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: ready saying, hey man, that's why you hear it's a

174
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: guy like Curse. Come out and say against Kansas City,

175
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: what we hold them to eight, then we win? Right?

176
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: You know what type of belief in your coach and

177
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: your system and your players you have to have to say,

178
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: hey man, I do want to hear none about the offense.

179
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: All right, If we hold these dudes to eight points,

180
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: they score less than we do, then we win the game.

181
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: And I believe we can go out there and do

182
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: that against anybody. That is the ultimate confidence in what

183
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: you're doing over there. And they got the right to

184
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: believe so because go out last night and get four picks.

185
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: Trayvill Didz gets eight. He's trying to keep up with

186
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: Michael Parker and everybody's like, now you got one, I

187
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: need one. Give me the right. They did exactly what

188
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: they're supposed to do against a guy who is not

189
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: a proven passer. And what you're supposed to do is

190
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: go out there handle your business. If you play how

191
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: you know you can play, that's how the game should

192
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: end up for you. Trash yards. Yeah, I just wish

193
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: we could fix it. And that's that's my own selfish

194
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: thing because I'm just like, I want us to be

195
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: top ten in yards. They deserve to be in the

196
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: top ten, But nobody can look at this defense and say,

197
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: hey man, they're not playing like a top ten that

198
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: like one of the top tier defenses. That's why you

199
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: see when the pro football whatever comes out there, they're

200
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: number five, they might be number six because they're watching.

201
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: They're watching the game and they're able to see exactly

202
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: what's going on. Just like last night, you said, all right,

203
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: yeah that was actually random ball. Okay, the head hundred

204
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: forty six yards. We didn't know one run from from

205
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: from which I'm thankful I got you in fantasy. But

206
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: he take away that one run. It was twenty two

207
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: carries for fifty seven yards, and that's just that's just

208
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: not gonna work offensively. But back on the defensive side,

209
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: does it worry you a little bit that if we

210
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: don't get takeaways that we'll have what it takes to

211
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: beat a playoff team. Like, I'm not worried about these

212
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: next five games. We got the Division for four of them,

213
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: and then we got Arizona, which will be a tough contest,

214
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 1: but I'm not worried about that. But once we get

215
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, do you just does it make you

216
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: nervous a little bit that we have to take the

217
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: ball away four times in order to get this victory

218
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: or do you think this offense will continue to get

219
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: into shape and eventually round into the offense that we

220
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: thought they would be. Yeah, listen, if the offense doesn't

221
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: pick it up, I don't think we have a shot.

222
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: You can go back to Week one against Tampa. We

223
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: get four, we get four takeaways, we lose the game.

224
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: I think Aaron Rodgers has only thrown four you know

225
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: that season. Kylin Worry is also taking care of the ball.

226
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: I think the only way you can turn him over

227
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: is if he's running it. And then also you get

228
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: a sack force fumble. So you got quarterbacks who you're

229
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: gonna face, who are able to take care of the ball.

230
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: So the offense needs to get on track so we

231
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: have those opportunities, because what we also saw was against Denver,

232
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: if we're playing from behind, those opportunities to take the

233
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: ball away, they aren't gone running that right. So you

234
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: have to be able to play compromentary football, and so

235
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: far we haven't been able to since the buy week.

236
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with the offense, but

237
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: hopefully we get that back on track so the defense

238
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: can play how how we expect them to play. Pin

239
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: your ears back, earned to write the rush on third down,

240
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: and you got a guy with ten sex, then you

241
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: got Randy Gregor, who get pressure on the passer. You know,

242
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: you gotta take Lawrence we know can get person on

243
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: the passer. Then you also rusting a guy like Kurty,

244
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: rusting a guy like Jordan Lewis, Like, you have ways

245
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: to manufacture this stuff, but if you're if you're not

246
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: able to stop the run or play from a head,

247
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: then all that is knowling void. Yeah, without a doubt,

248
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: And yeah, I'll just got me thinking a little bit

249
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: of you know, once we get everybody healthy, you know,

250
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: the Randy Gregory's come back. Neville Gallimore. Just think of

251
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: the package defensively we could put out there on third down,

252
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: like just a NASCAR package we got. You can put

253
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: Parsons on one edge, Randy Gregory on the other, you

254
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: can kick d Law on the inside, and put the

255
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: Daurn's armstrong in their calling, some type of a NASCAR

256
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: package or whatever it may be. But we got an

257
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: opportunity defensively to do some damage once we get to

258
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: these playoffs. Now, our matchup, if everything stays the same,

259
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: everything stays the same. You know, Tampa wins their division,

260
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: we win ours. You know, Green Bay wins theirs, and

261
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 1: let's just say, you know, Arizona wins the West. Our

262
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: matchup in that first round could possibly be the La Rams.

263
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: It could possibly be the La Rams. And we know

264
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: what they have over there as far as firepower offensively,

265
00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: So that could be a game that if we don't

266
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: get you know, this offense going in the right direction,

267
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: it could get a little sticky for me. And you know,

268
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to say one it done, but we're

269
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: kind of nervous about that. Listen, and you know, because

270
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: I got to step before our defense. Okay, if we're

271
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: moving on to possibly playing in la if we do

272
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: everything shakes out. They having the same issues that we

273
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: have offensively. Oh yeah, yeah, they have no idea where

274
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: to go would a turn. They have not looked like

275
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: the same offensive team. Matthew Stafford has been turning the

276
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 1: ball over. Yeah, I've seen. He's my starting quarterback and

277
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: fantasy so I'll pay a little bit extra attention to him. Okay,

278
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: they're not they haven't found it yet. They lost it. Uh,

279
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: they're realizing that that that that loss of Robert Woods,

280
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: just like like we've realizing that loss of Amark Hoopers.

281
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: It's bigger than we thought it was. It's not that

282
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: the next guy just step in and get the thing rolling. Um,

283
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: So their defensive is feeling the same. They're not able

284
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: to get that pass rush. You got behind Miller, you

285
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 1: got Aaron Domino. But those guys aren't able to pin

286
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: their ears back and rush the pastors because they haven't

287
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: been able to get anything rolling on offense. But the

288
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: defense of the other offense to have to score those

289
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: points and move the ball like that. So we're going

290
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,359
Speaker 1: through this same thing. So right now, as of today,

291
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: I think it would be okay. I think we'll be

292
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: okay two struggling offenses against two good defenses. That would

293
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: be one of that, like like the game we played

294
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: last time. Yeah, it'll be definitely be a toss up

295
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: on that one. And real quick, I know we're about

296
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: to get into our break here in a little bit,

297
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: but I gotta discuss this guy before we get off

298
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: of this subject. Well, we'll talk about Michael in a

299
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: little bit in the next segment. But d Law this guy,

300
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: you know, he came back ten game hiatus, ten game hiatus.

301
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: He comes back, first game in a long time against

302
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: the New Orleans team. How did you think he performed

303
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: out there? Listen, As you know, I expected d Law

304
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: to come out and play well. Um, I said, if

305
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: he's healthy and and he's able to move how he

306
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: normally moves when he's actually one healthy, which we don't

307
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: we haven't seen often, and I think he's gonna have

308
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: a huge impact on the game. Um this is his

309
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: first game back. We saw him move really well. He

310
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: looked healthy. He brought a different intensity to that left

311
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: side of the defensive line. All right, he was wrestling,

312
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: he was coming off the ball. You see him line

313
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: up over the three technique. You see him I meaning

314
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: over the guard. You see him line up outside, I

315
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: think they were getting them back into the game. And

316
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: he made some plays out there, right. He made me nervous.

317
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: One he come across the field, he makes the tack

318
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: on the guy, he catches a knee to the hem

319
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh no, come on. And he gets

320
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: back in the game. I'm like, yes, he's rolling. So

321
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: I was really impressed with what he was able to

322
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: do with coming back after such a long time off. Yeah,

323
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. I mean ten games off.

324
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: I thought for sure the guy was gonna be gas.

325
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, he's gonna go out there and have a

326
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: couple of good plays and then be like I'm tapping out.

327
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: But you can see out there, it was like they

328
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: had to hold him from coming back in the game.

329
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy was like, look, I don't snap

330
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: count all that pitch count. I don't want to hear

331
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: nothing about that. I haven't been a part of this

332
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: team in ten games and I'm looking to put my

333
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: impact on this game. And I think he did a

334
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: good job of that. You know, I don't think anybody

335
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: along that defensive line plays the run as well as

336
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: d Law did. And you saw that last night. He

337
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: was able to get in there from his defensive imposition

338
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: and shut things down. When they're talking about the running

339
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: back now, Tasom Hill, that's that's another story. But d Law,

340
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: I think he did a good job. Came in there.

341
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: He almost, like you said, he almost forced to fumble

342
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: out there. It came through His pass rusher is getting better.

343
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: And this is a guy that's missed ten games. This

344
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: is his first game back. To me, it didn't even

345
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: look like he missed a step. So I'm excited for

346
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: what I've seen with d Law. This defense right now,

347
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: the sky can be the limit. If they continue to

348
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: take the football away like this. That's a that's a

349
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: winning formula right there. If you can get the ball

350
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: back to your offense and let's just say, our offense

351
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: gets back in the shape and what they've been doing

352
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: and what they're best at is scoring points. If you

353
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: can take the ball away and get it back to

354
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: them on a regular basis, I think this guy's limit

355
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: for this team. I think the one thing that's scary

356
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: about d Law is this. Okay, give him the same

357
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: time that everybody is else. Everybody else's had with Dan

358
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: Quinn to elevate his game, all right. He had one

359
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: game he came out forced fumble that he's been out.

360
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: Give him the same opportunity to trade Munds, Jordan Lewis

361
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: and Curse and all those guys have had to elevate

362
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: their game, like uh, playing under Dan Quinn get d

363
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: Law that time, and I think you're gonna see something special.

364
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: You forgot one persona. Sorry, but well he didn't elevate

365
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: his game, all right, I'll give you that, you know.

366
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: Speaking of Michael Parsons, we're going to dive into this

367
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,360

411
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: the SWBC studios. I'm here once again with the Ultimate survivor,

412
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: Danny mccraie. It was top six right now, still kicking

413
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: only six level, only six left. That's hell of a

414
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: performance right there, man, top six. He's doing it. Man. Yeah,

415
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: if you were to pray, you would have never heard

416
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: the end of it. I say that right now. It's good.

417
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: You're good. You're good. You made it to the top ten.

418
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: So you know, hey, I gotta give you props on that.

419
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: I gotta give you props on that. It's just me,

420
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: your average box safety over here. So look, we're gonna

421
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: dive before we dive into this offense, because we gotta

422
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: have a whole segment, you know, dedicated to this offense

423
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: when we did the defense early, got to have a

424
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: whole segment to the offense. But before we dive into that,

425
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: we have got to take a look and give this

426
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: man his flowers. Micah Parsons, I mean, look, this dude

427
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: is playing at an all pro level right now. I

428
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: said it earlier in the year. I don't know if

429
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: I've seen a rookie outside of maybe Das Bryant to

430
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: have this big of an impact for a team. And

431
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: I would even say it's a bigger impact because this

432
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: team is winning right now. You know, rookie year, we

433
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: was six and ten, even though that guy was bawling,

434
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: we was still six and ten. But Michael Parsons, he's

435
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: playing on another level right now, and it doesn't matter

436
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: where you put him. You can put him at the

437
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: d N spy linebacker. You put him at the d tackle,

438
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: nose guard, it doesn't matter. He seems to be able

439
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: to make an impact wherever the case may be. We

440
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: saw him go out there and get a sack. His

441
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: closing speed is amazing. That's ten on the year right now.

442
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean this guy's ten sacks on the year right now.

443
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: We also saw on that j Ron Curs interception. We've

444
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,959
Speaker 1: seen him carrying a wide receiver up the seams. Like

445
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: I don't under think people understand how difficult that is.

446
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: Because even for defensive back to carry a wide receiver

447
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: on a wheel route, that's tough, especially a guy like

448
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,479
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills who can run. But Michael Parsons were there

449
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: step for step broke the pass up led to a

450
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: Jay Run cursed interception. This guy is bawling on another level.

451
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: And like I said, I just don't know if I've

452
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: seen an impact man like this before. D Mac, what

453
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on the young man? I tell you,

454
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: when I watched Michael Parson's player, I tell you what

455
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: I used to hear from coaches all the time. Basketball

456
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: coaches say, hey man, you can't coach hype. Yeah, football coach, man,

457
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: you can't coach speed. And when you watch the guy

458
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: like on the boat right, you think that you're gonna

459
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: slow him down a little bit on the boot and

460
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 1: then Taysom he'll come around the corner and say, oh man,

461
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: le's dude to my face already the closing speed that

462
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: this dude has amazing. It is dB closing speed. Some

463
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: facts have closer speed like this when they're trying to

464
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: track about that. Dan Sanders had a closer speed like

465
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 1: this year. He would make you believe it's your head

466
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: up it and when they throw the ball, he go

467
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: get it up. Michael Parsons, is that guy from the

468
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: linebacker position playing great? Another sack? Five tackles? I mean,

469
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: and that doesn't even account for all the pressures, all

470
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: the confusion that that he that he calls us on

471
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: the defense, because now offensive coordinators have to really plan

472
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: for him specifically, they say, look at the defense, they say,

473
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: who who do we have to play for? Who is

474
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: it who? And you got a big eleven. So when

475
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: they're a practice and when when the Saint Sara practice

476
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: on their scout team, somebody has the eleven jersey highlight.

477
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: So now he's playing amazing man and I think at

478
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: this rate he could end up with fifteen and sixty

479
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: sixteen sacks easily, and there's no longer defensive rookie of these.

480
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: Put it in the trophy case already, it's over with.

481
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: You're up now for Defensive Player of the Year, and

482
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: your team is going for the suit, going for a

483
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: playoff run, right, playing for the Cowboys be seen all

484
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: the time, and you just continue to keep rolling, right,

485
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: because we noticed a such thing called the rookie wall. Yeah,

486
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: pretty much everybody's hit it. My man is in week thirteen.

487
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: He ain't hitting that and he is doing just fine.

488
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: So shout out to him. The dude's playing amazing. And

489
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: you know when I see him, and I told you that,

490
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: I saw Lee up to me, he's the best stack

491
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: linebacker that he's ever seen coming out of college and

492
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: being able to do what he's done. And I'm just

493
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: and I just I'm like, dang, Sean, he was like

494
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: two years late. That's it. Imagine that Shun Lee next

495
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: to Michael Parsons kidding, You got Sean Lee, who's basically

496
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: would have been an extension of the coaching staff out there.

497
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: He would have been able to head Parsons. You go there,

498
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: you go there, and then you got the athletic ability

499
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: and explosiveness of Parsons out there. That would have been

500
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: a magical combination. But look at it. I mean, this guy,

501
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: it don't matter where you put him. It doesn't matter

502
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: where you put him. He defensive end, no tackle. Coach,

503
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: go get the quarterback. I got your coach, and he's

504
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: gonna make the play. And what's most impressive to me

505
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: is it seems like the moment is never too big

506
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: for this guy. The bright lights, prime time, It don't

507
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: matter what type of game you could be, in the

508
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: street somewhere, he's gonna give you one hundred percent and

509
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna make plays. I mean, this guy is a

510
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 1: bona fide playmaker. And look, I didn't see it. You

511
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: know that when we missed out on certain we missed

512
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: out on Jason, I'm like, man, I don't know, I

513
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: don't know about what this guy gonna do. But y'all

514
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: hear this. Y'all hear this, right, because because you knew

515
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: he sit there talking about, Oh but look what Michael

516
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 1: is doing. I was like, yeah, but eld the day

517
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: of Yeah, I didn't the day of there's no way

518
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: in here like they can say they knew that he

519
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: was gonna play well. We've drafted a lot of linebackers,

520
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: all right, who they who played well, but not like

521
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: not not a team in the league expecting Michael Parsons

522
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: to be able to play this well. Now, if we

523
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: go back into a redraft, he's going he might be

524
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: only one number one overall. I mean, the way this

525
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: guy is doing things, I mean, it's and to be

526
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: a rookie and a guy that didn't even play football

527
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: last year because of the COVID situation opted out For

528
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: him to come in here and still be able to

529
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: play the way he's playing, I mean, it's remarkable. It's remarkable.

530
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: It's because it's weird uncle, like that weird uncle. Everybody

531
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: like everybody like he's a magic listen, listen. In any

532
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: of the scheme, I'm sure Michael Parsons will still be great. Yeah,

533
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn knows exactly what to do with this guy,

534
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: which is amazing. So quick before we get on the

535
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: offensive side of things, where do you put him going forward?

536
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: Because you know Randy Gregory's coming back soon. He seems

537
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: to be able to ball out and have a bigger

538
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: impact on a defensive line. But he makes great plays

539
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: at the linebacker as well. And when you already have

540
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: Tank Lawrence and Gregory there, do you push him back

541
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: to that linebacker spot or you say, you know what,

542
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: this guy's causing too much havoc. I gotta keep him

543
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: on a d line. Go ahead and get after that quarterball.

544
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: You play that linebacker, okay, And then and most of

545
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: the time you're rushing five add on tokay, or if

546
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: you want to, you move Randy in, or you move

547
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: or you move d law in, you move Micah up,

548
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: roll up another another safety. Right, You got many options,

549
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: and that's what's great about what Michael Parl's can do

550
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: because the defense can't plan for where he's gonna be it, right, Yeah,

551
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: the best the best thing that you have now is

552
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,239
Speaker 1: the mystery of like where is eleven? Right? As long

553
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: as the offense can't determine or dictate that, then you

554
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 1: have the advantage with this guy. Yeah, you're right, you

555
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: got the advant with this guy. But overall, man, this

556
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: guy's playing amazing and man, look, Rookie of the Year.

557
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: That's that's so. Now we're talking about defensive player of

558
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: the Year. Now, and the Cowboys got two people in

559
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: that category. I mean, you got Digs and you got

560
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons. I mean, I didn't see it coming into

561
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: this to this year. You know, I knew we got

562
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: Dad quitting all this stuff. I didn't see it. I'll

563
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 1: get kudos to you because you did see it before.

564
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: Because you saw it, man, I'll give you credit. You

565
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: said before they even thought about hiring Dan Quinton, you know,

566
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: before we were working it would still work. He was like, Hey,

567
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: I don't know if this guy's gonna be available, but

568
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: if he is, we gotta grab him. And I gave him. Man.

569
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: I don't know, league, I don't know anything about but

570
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: you was right. So I'll give you the no Shore

571
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: domas McCrae for now and see we'll see what happens

572
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 1: with that top ten. But right now, you're looking right,

573
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: you're looking back. Well, now it looks like we got

574
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: to dig into this offense a little bit. Um. It

575
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: wasn't that you know, they played terrible like. It wasn't

576
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: like they were just god awful out there. They put

577
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: up some points and they made enough plays to win

578
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: the game. But you look at how this offense was

579
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: playing early on in the season, you would have thought

580
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: this was going to be one of the one of

581
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: the miracles on turf, looking like like like the ninety

582
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: nine Rams or something like that. They have that potential

583
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: going into this season. Now, we had a couple of injuries.

584
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: We missed Tyron Smith for a little bit, but those

585
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: guys are back right now. We got the offensive line

586
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: communicating well out there, and they still they still the offense,

587
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: it just seems like it's stagnant. They can't get one

588
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: thing going. If it's if it's the past that's doing well,

589
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: the running game, stop the running games doing well. We

590
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 1: can't see the pass the ball. We haven't had one

591
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: of those complete games, like you said, since Atlanta, since

592
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: we were able to blow out Atlantis. So to me,

593
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: I gotta know your thoughts. McCray. What did you think

594
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: of the offense in yesterday's game. Yeah, you know, I

595
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: think I've been talking about this for a while and

596
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: it's and it's the run game, right, Like I think

597
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, you have to you

598
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: have to put it in your mind and get that

599
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: mindset of like we're going to establish the run going

600
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: into these games, and then when you go into the

601
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: first game and you just automatically just shot away from

602
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: it because of what a team has already done. You

603
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: are you already setting the tone for what you're gonna

604
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: do for the rest of the season. Right, You're letting

605
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: the defense dictate to you how you're going to play

606
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: the game. Right, So you don't run, you don't run

607
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: the ball in the first couple of games. All right,

608
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: everybody's like, Zeke had a good game here, a good

609
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: game there. Zeke has not been having the Zeke type

610
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: of games that we expect them to have. But now

611
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: you have to say it's a good game because we're

612
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: a passing team. Right, he gets ninety yards. You're like, oh, yeah,

613
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: not a good game for Zeke, not under to the

614
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: standard day we're using. That's a good game for everybody else.

615
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: But when I see Zeke and the Zeke that I

616
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: know that he can be, especially when you say that

617
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: he came in a training camp, he was slimmer. They're

618
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: gonna try to keep him more healthy, They're gonna give

619
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: him the rock ninety yards. I know Zeke can rust

620
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: from one fifty. I know he could be up there

621
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: at the top echelon of those guys that are playing

622
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: running back, so we don't establish the run. We hadn't

623
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: been a running team, and now all of a sudden

624
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: quarterback goes down. People start getting hurt. Now you want

625
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 1: to become a running team. It don't work like that.

626
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: It doesn't work like that. So now you see us

627
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: now trying to trying to force it right, force it

628
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: a little bit. And then every time you get a negative,

629
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: it's like, oh this why we didn't run the ball?

630
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: Right now we're behind. I'm like, you ain't the only

631
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: team who've been hit with a negative two or been

632
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: on second and ten. I was second to ten and

633
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: you getting stuffed in the run. It's the same second

634
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: and ten when you throw that deep ball on first

635
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: down and all of a sudden you're a second of ten,

636
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: and now the defenses dictated to you, like, oh yeah,

637
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: now you got two downs to get ten, so we

638
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: know you're gonna run it. We run so many boots,

639
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: we run so many quick players. Now we worked the middle,

640
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: and I'm like, has has he been figured out? Has

641
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: he been figured out? Kelly Moore been figured out? It

642
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: could be this is this is a long stretch of

643
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: deep defenses looking like they know, just going on a

644
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: three game run. Now, even even the catches for scores

645
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: or first downs, they are very very tough catches every everything.

646
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: And before it was like, okay, here's a catch and

647
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna run for about ten fifteen yards. He's gonna

648
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: get that explosiveness. But now you're saying, it's like these defenses,

649
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: they're all they're right on the hit pocket. Now granted

650
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: we've played you know, a couple of good defense or

651
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: a couple of better defenses they we did earlier in

652
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: the season, But I just don't I don't know if

653
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: it's more of Kelly Moore not being as creative as

654
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: he was earlier in the season, or like if you said,

655
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: people have kind of figured this guy out and knows

656
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: his tendencies and knows where he loves to go with

657
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: the ball. But to me, if the if the intermediate

658
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: or the deep ball is not working, like if you

659
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: know what, we can't get the run game going because

660
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: the Saints they stacked the box. They was like, you

661
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: know what, we are gonna make you one dimensional. We're

662
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: gonna stop this runs. And they did a good job

663
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: of it. Outside of that Tony Polar fifty seven yard run.

664
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: They did a good job of it, and they made

665
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: this team one dimensional. But even making this Cowboys team

666
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: one dimensional, you would think with those trio of wide receivers,

667
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: with Schultzing there, with Dak Prescott at the quarterback position,

668
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: you would think they would still be able to move

669
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: the ball, and that just wasn't the case. Now. I

670
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: would love for them to see for them to implement

671
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: more of that screen game. We saw the bubble screens

672
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: to Cede Lamb and what he's able to do when

673
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: he gets the ball in his hands. I would love

674
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: to us for us to see some of that, but

675
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: just drop him back and trying to hit these intermediate

676
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: digs or these deep balls. I just don't see that

677
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: being consistent. You know, I always think at this offense

678
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: is at its best, it's at its peak powers, it's

679
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: at you know, the magnitude of all offenses. When they

680
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: have a balanced attack. When you don't know what they're

681
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: gonna hit you with, you gotta pick your poison. Do

682
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:11,719
Speaker 1: we hit you with this run or do we hit

683
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: you with this pass? And when defense makes when defenses

684
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: make us one dimensional, it kind of bogs us down

685
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: and we get to that stagged offense that we've seen

686
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: last night. Give me a top five team that is

687
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: not successful, sussful running the ball. Name can the Packers

688
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: run the ball? The only one I can think of

689
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: is maybe the Chiefs. That's it. They're not top five,

690
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: teeny they score nineteen on us. They were just struggling

691
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: when you look at Look at Lena Fournette, the second

692
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: coming of Leoni Fournete in college right, all of a

693
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: sudden four touchdown last week, hundred yards rushing forty yards catching.

694
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: Tampa can run the ball. They situationally, they know when

695
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: it comes down to it, they're able to run the ball.

696
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: Look at New England, they can run the ball. Look

697
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: at Lamar Taxes. You have to be able to Like,

698
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: if you can't run the ball with these teams who

699
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: can play defense and they once once they make you

700
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: one dimensional. You look the way that we've looked over

701
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: the past few weeks, then you're gonna be in trouble. Like,

702
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: now's the time to be like, hey man, we need

703
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: to go back to the lab, figure out what it is,

704
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: what type of runs work for us? Right, Obviously you

705
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: can't just run power encounter because it's not working, you

706
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: ain't even be able to line up and go. You

707
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: gotta have something, so so find out what runs work

708
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: good for Tony Pollard, find out what runs work good

709
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: for Zeke. At this point, especially with a hurt Zeke,

710
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: you need to find out what what what he's able

711
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: to do if you're not gonna rust them, and then

712
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: keep hammering that, man, keep hammering that because the likelihood

713
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: of you making the playoffs is really high. But the

714
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: likelihood of you going out in the first round if

715
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: you're not able to establish the run against the team,

716
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: if the passing game is not working, it's really really high.

717
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: All right, So I think it's time to get there.

718
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: And if we don't, we can talk about Killer Moore

719
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: and all the offensive creativity and all that stuff. But

720
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna look just how it's looked in the last

721
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: few weeks. I would have to agree with you on

722
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: that one. I mean, look, this team, they have to

723
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: get back to the run, and they got ten days.

724
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: They got ten days to figure out. I'll get back

725
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: in the lab, get these guys some rest. And speaking

726
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: about rest and Zeke and Tony Pollard, in your opinion,

727
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: should the Cowboys have I mean it's too late now,

728
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: But should the Cowboys have rested that zeke? Because in

729
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: that game last night, and me and you and me

730
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: both we've watched it, it looked like the man was laboring.

731
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: It looked like he had a big old truck tied

732
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: to the back of his back, and he just seemed

733
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: to couldn't get out of second gear and he was

734
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: hobbled a little bit, limping here and there. You could

735
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: see he was just you know, on his face. Everything

736
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: is demeanor. It just wasn't the zeke that we were

737
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: used to seeing. Usually we see this guy three yards

738
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: in a cloud of dust and by the time the

739
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: fourth quarters going around, he's getting up out the pile

740
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: talking about me. Feed me. You just didn't see that,

741
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, last night. So to me, I want to

742
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: ask you the question, is it it's too late now,

743
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: but should they have rested him a little bit and

744
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: gave him to those two weeks because now we get

745
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: ten days off in between this Thursday and the following

746
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: Sunday game against the Washington rest or the Washington football team.

747
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: Should they have rested him? I'll say this, so I

748
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: don't know the total breakdown on how many runs he

749
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: had in the first half, how many runs he had

750
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: in the second. But if you weren't going to make

751
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: him a focal point of the offense, you should arrested

752
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: the ship, all right, because like, I don't know enough

753
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: about the injury, but I'm sure that Britt and Jim

754
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: and Gee and all those guys they got a better

755
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: idea of like what's going on with and what he's

756
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: able to know what he's not. But what we do

757
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: know about injuries is if you go out in pregame

758
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,479
Speaker 1: and you get warm and you're feeling good, right, and

759
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you don't do anything for

760
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: a while. You're not running the ball, you're not really

761
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: having to use use that burst and get all this stuff.

762
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: Do you get stiff? You look how Zeke looked when

763
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: he turned that corner in the second half. Aside, that's

764
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: that's when the injury gets stiff. That's when it's cold

765
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: outside and all those old injuries start hurting. That's what

766
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: Zeke looked like at the end of the game, right,

767
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: And you can expect that when when you're coming out

768
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: of halftime, you try to go to get a guy warm.

769
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: But if you're not gonna make him a focal point.

770
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: Then yeah, let's Tony Paula get in there and get there,

771
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: get those twelve carry thirteen carries and then rest Zeke. Um.

772
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: I think that's where it makes sense. But if if

773
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: the assumption was, hey, we're gonna focus on running the ball,

774
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: like we've heard Jerry Jones say, like we heard Mike

775
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: McCarthy say, then yeah, I mean, I guess they went

776
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: with the right decision of trying to get him going,

777
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: but we never saw him get going. Yeah, you're right

778
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: about that. Real quick before we take our second back,

779
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: real quick, Tony Poler to Zeke, who needs to get

780
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,240
Speaker 1: more carries going forward? If Zeke's hobbled like that, Um,

781
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: I think it's you're gonna have it's gonna have to

782
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: be more. Even so, so Zeke got double of what

783
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: Tony Parler got, I think it's gonna have to be more,

784
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: even more off. And that's only because we need a

785
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: healthy Zeke, like I said, because our running game is

786
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: Tony Poler is great, He's he's also a change up,

787
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: all right. We need somebody with the power running game

788
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: who can go in there and punish those guys, open

789
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: open the lanes off for Tony Poler because last night

790
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: we saw it. If it's not, if Zeke is not Zeke,

791
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: then Tony Poler runs. Sometimes they don't go as long. Yeah,

792
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: they might be a splash play, but you can't depend

793
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: on that, you know, every game. All right, Well, look

794

836
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: This is the Players Lounge, brought to you by Hotels

837
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: dot Com. Once again. I'm here with the Ultimate Survivor.

838
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: You heard it right, Top ten, top six, he is

839
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 1: in now Top six Babies, Danny mccraid, Ultimate Survivor. It's

840
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: your boy, just an average box safety. So here we go. Mad.

841
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: Look the whole offense, it wasn't all bad. It wasn't

842
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: all bad. One person in particular stuck out to me,

843
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: and that was C. D. Lamb. This guy continues to

844
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: just put game after game together where he's bawling like it.

845
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: No matter how you get him the ball, whether it's screens,

846
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 1: whether it's deep passes, whether it's intermediate routes. This guy

847
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: is getting the ball, he's catching it, and he's making

848
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: the most of his opportunities. So I ask you d Mack,

849
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: Danny mccraigy ultimate Survivor, hass c D Lamb rolls to

850
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: that number one position above Amari Cooper on the wide

851
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 1: receiver pecking scale. So listen, this is what I said.

852
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: At the beginning of the year, I was hearing all

853
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: the rumbles of what Ceedee Lamb was doing with a

854
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: Mark Cooper out during training camp looked amazing. I even

855
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: heard people compared to Dais Brian some of the stuff

856
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: that he was some of the catches that he was making.

857
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: And then you see a flash of it on hard knocks.

858
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: You're like, oh man, this dude is this dude is

859
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: is serious? Right? So I'm saying I'm not gonnahead. I'll say,

860
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:25,879
Speaker 1: you know what, if you can compare to this guy

861
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: to Das Brian and he's making those type of catches

862
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: on the favor routes because I'm Mark Cooper can can

863
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: do it, but that's not all right, then you also

864
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: add what Ceedee Lamb can do coming out of the

865
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: backfield running jet sweeps. Every time we've seen the Mark

866
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 1: Cooper trying to get one of those. It doesn't usually

867
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: he ain't going down. You see, when you see ceedee lamb,

868
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: get it in your mind, you're like, oh man, this

869
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: this could this could go right here, right. So I

870
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: think that he's a little bit more versatile to the

871
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: Mark than the Mark Cooper at this point. He's also

872
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: more available than the Mark Cooper at this point, which

873
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: to me adds up to being yes, number one option,

874
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: trusted option. But then you got to throw in shots.

875
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: You got security blanket. Who's he more comfortable with at

876
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: this point, Schultz or Mark Cooper? Like It's like, I'm

877
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,720
Speaker 1: not saying that Shultz is better than the Mark Cooper.

878
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: Please please don't. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying

879
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: Shultz has been available. Schultz has turned into that winding

880
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: type of thing that Romo had. But the connection that

881
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: they had when you look up and you say, man,

882
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: if DA's in trouble, who's he looking for? Shultzons catching

883
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,959
Speaker 1: the balls. I was actually more nervous when I thought

884
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: Schultz was gonna be out of the game. I was like,

885
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: oh man, we're through, We're in trouble. It's gonna be

886
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: all CD, right, So Yeah. Like, like I said, at

887
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: the end of the year, I think we will come

888
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: back to these conversations. Say, man, I think Cede lamb

889
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: outperformed Mark Cooper one because he was available more in

890
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 1: two because he's a little bit more versatile. And then

891
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: shout out to Michael Gallup as well, who we've all

892
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,760
Speaker 1: said that deep ball and those over the show, those favors.

893
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 1: That's his specialty. And if you're looking for a guy

894
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: that you want to pay ten to twelve, twelve to fourteen,

895
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: who could make those type of place, you need to

896
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: follow up. You need to go down got about. So like,

897
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: if you're looking at this guy played when when he's

898
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: able to be a number two and he had some

899
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: type of help, we ain't getting double team. He can

900
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: make some plays, So shout out to him. I saw

901
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: on Twitter what they said. Then, uh it, CAZy is

902
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: missing a lot of tackles. You believe he is? He

903
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: playing that bad? He's slipping a little bit. Yeah, I

904
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: ain't gonna like his CAZy. You know he he had

905
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: an interception last or this last game. But if you

906
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: look at the angles that this guy's taken out of

907
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 1: the post, it's just not good. I mean, half of

908
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: the time you would think man or they didn't cover zero,

909
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: like where's the free safety yet? But CAZy, he's just

910
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: making He's just doing his own thing back there, just

911
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,439
Speaker 1: roaming it and reading, and you ain't got the cache

912
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: to be to be a reading out there. So you know,

913
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: I think they definitely gotta gotta hone in on his

914
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: skills and make sure he's in the right right position,

915
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: because there's been plays where look at that that um

916
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: the end of the game where Harris called the ball

917
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: was like a punt retest. You're supposed to have somebody

918
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: back there stopping everything. He took away everybody's angle. So

919
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: I definitely think he needs to get better in his

920
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: post sfety skills. But I'm right there with you on

921
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: CD Lamb. I think he's risen above Amark Cooper. One,

922
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: like you said, because of the availability and two they

923
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: highlight this guy. They move him around the formation each

924
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: and every play. He's not gonna be just stagged it

925
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: on the outside. He's not gonna be just stagged it

926
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: in the slot. They move him around, hit him with

927
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: the post or a pre snap motion, so it's hard

928
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: for defenses to kind of focus in and get their

929
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: best cover guy on him. I mean, look, how many

930
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: times was Lattimore watching cde Lamb yesterday. He didn't have

931
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: an opportunity because he was moving him around. He's moving

932
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 1: all over the place, so it's hard for defenses to

933
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: pick up on him. So I think they're highlighting cdee Lamb,

934
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: and I think that's what's giving him him the ability

935
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: to kind of sturtplant Amark Cooper as that number one

936
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: ride receiver. I mean, he's doing great things with the

937
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: ball after the catch. He's running great routes, and even

938
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: though some of his catches are contested, he's making them.

939
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: Malcolm Jenkins knows he's the number one receivers. That's why

940
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: that's like your worst nightmare as a safety when you

941
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: come now, this guy got half of the field and

942
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: it's just you and him one on one and you

943
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: in the full speed sprint. Yeah, that's just it's it's

944
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: hard in that situation, Jenkings, if I'm Jenkings, you gotta

945
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: just shoot your gun. Like If you don't, you just

946
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: get shook and get like this stuck like that. It

947
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: looks wet. I've been in that position, Yeah, I've been.

948
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: So we're not saying that we're gonna be better at it. Yeah, yeah,

949
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 1: I would have. I would have broken ankle. At least

950
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 1: he was able to finish the game. Broke my ankle

951
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 1: out there, but he took it. So But but here

952
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: one thing I want to maybe I read too much

953
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: into it, but I can't remember back when Dez Bryan

954
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: started to become the number one guy here before that,

955
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: he was returning punts last night. Okay, in previous games

956
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: we had seen ceedee lamb be back there being a

957
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 1: print return, said Wilson had the injury. I think, right, yeah,

958
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,280
Speaker 1: but did you see who was returning punts like yesterday?

959
00:42:55,719 --> 00:43:00,320
Speaker 1: Was it? Was it? Okay? Am I see in the

960
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: same type of pattern where I think Das broke his

961
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: ankle on point return and then Jerry was like, hey,

962
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: no purpose. And then you start to look at what

963
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: we had a Mark Pople being hurt and you're like, okay,

964
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,760
Speaker 1: we need CD lamps, so let's take them out return.

965
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: Is that what we're seeing here? He's starting to climb

966
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: the charts. Man, he's starting to climb the charts, and rightfullymself,

967
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: the man's balling out. And yesterday he had another fantastic game,

968
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 1: So hey, he's taking he might be taking over that

969
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: number one spot. But let's get into the NFC's real quick.

970
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: We only got a couple of minutes left here. Are

971
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,720
Speaker 1: you nervous or should this Cowboys team be slightly worried

972
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: that Washington is starting to pick up their game? I

973
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: think they won three straight. Their defense is starting to

974
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: perform a little bit better. Taylor Heine kids out there

975
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 1: doing some things here and there, but they do have

976
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: a strong running game with Gibson and m Kissick. Should

977
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys be worried looking in the rearview mirror that

978
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: maybe this Washington team has an opportunity to catch them

979
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,479
Speaker 1: in the rankings because we still got to play him twice.

980
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,399
Speaker 1: Cowboys have a two and a half game lead onto

981
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: the division. Should they be nervous? If the Cowboys are smart,

982
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say should be worried, but I think they

983
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: should be aware. Right just based off how you've performed

984
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 1: since the bye week. I don't think there's any gimmes

985
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: right even last night. Even last night wasn't a gimme.

986
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: We spared seven on defense, We gave him the ball

987
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: and they in our own territory a couple of times,

988
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: and we end up with twenty seven points, you know

989
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So we have It's not like we've

990
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: been blowing them out of the water. And when when

991
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: I made my picks and I say we're going thirty,

992
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 1: I looked at you. I said, you don't think we

993
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: gonna go thirty on the Saints And you were like,

994
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: we could. Yeah. So I look at the game last night,

995
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, you take off that seven. That's twenty if

996
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: we don't get those four turnovers and all of a sudden,

997
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: you don't know how we're gonna be able to drive

998
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 1: the ball to turn and play. When when Parsons tipped

999
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 1: to play and Kurse got the pick, it's the Saints.

1000
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: Were to keep running the football, they might have been

1001
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,439
Speaker 1: in the zone right there, we'll listen. And then also,

1002
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: as much as we complained about the referees the week before,

1003
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: that crackback block that we got all about that, that

1004
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: was one of the worst calls I've ever seen in

1005
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: my life. I thought they were saying, okay, he blocked

1006
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: them in the back, and I was like, it still

1007
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: was a chip tiki tack call. But whatever. But when

1008
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 1: they said that was a peel back, so you I

1009
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: can't even pick up blitzes now, Like, how about that?

1010
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: Even my man's lined up on the other side of

1011
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: the formation, he has to get his read of a

1012
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: blitzing player. What is he supposed to do? Him at

1013
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback to me like he's rest sometimes that that

1014
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 1: changed the momentum of the game, BROI momentum of the game.

1015
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: Shout out, shout out, shout out the best. And also,

1016
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: you know, I'd love to give a shout out to

1017
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 1: Grag the Leg. And you know I call him hooking left.

1018
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: You know, I give Greg the Leg a lot of

1019
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: a lot of flak on this show. But he stepped up.

1020
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: He stepped up yesterday. I think he was two for

1021
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: two from the field goals, he hit a fifty plus yarder.

1022
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 1: I think he was three for three on his extra points.

1023
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: So he stepped up his game. So shout out to

1024
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: Zerline you did. You did a little bit better. I

1025
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: appreciate you because I got your fantas so you did

1026
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: a little bit better for me, So I appreciate you.

1027
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: So good thing for him stepping up. But overall it

1028
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: was a complete game by his Dallas Cowboys team defensively,

1029
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: I think they played one of their best games offensively.

1030
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: Still a little bit of struggles, but we got time

1031
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 1: to pick it up and look, ladies and gentlemen, that's
