Speaker 1: Thursday Night football. Um, and there's some interesting things we

20
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: got to talk about today, including some comments from DeMarcus Lawrence,

21
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: which I absolutely loved. But we'll talk about that a

22
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 1: little bit later in the show. We're gonna starts. Huh

23
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: a little aggressive and I like aggressive about well, well

24
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: wait till we get there. But but no, yeah, it

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: was a little aggressive. It was a little aggresive. But um,

26
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: let's talk first about injuries. Yesterday we look at the

27
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: injury report. Cowboys have three waiting. I'm sorry, they have

28
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: five guys who did not practice, good burgers. Four of them, sorry,

29
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: four of them we knew weren't going to practice. Tavon Austin,

30
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: Sean Lee, David Irving, and Jeff Swain Tyren Smith. We

31
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: probably we knew it was probably not going to practice.

32
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: But he did not practice, and he's probably the one

33
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: of those five that even has a small chance of

34
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: being able to play at this point. Um, what are

35
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: you guys thinking? What are you hearing as far as

36
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: the likelihood of him playing tomorrow night? That's the I mean,

37
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: that's you're right, that's really the only one. I think

38
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: the other, well, the other one of those the other

39
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: four definitely not playing, Yeah, and they were never expected

40
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: to for the rest of the year. Well, I want

41
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about David Irving, but let's

42
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: just hold that for a second. Is that who you're

43
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: talking about? Maybe, Okay, maybe not. Maybe there's others on that.

44
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: All right, we'll talk about that in a second. I

45
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: haven't heard I have not heard any whispers leaning anyone

46
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: which way. You know, we said this earlier in the week.

47
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: He hasn't practiced. That's not a good sign, but he

48
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: is definitely on that list of guys that don't need

49
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: to practice. Um, if he does anything, you know, I'm

50
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: sure the Cowboys are holding a walk through at some

51
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: point today. Maybe they can get him into that. And

52
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: like I said, like he'll he'll be out there early

53
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: with the trainers tomorrow, you know, five o'clock, trying to

54
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: get loose and see how he feels. Um. I've leaned

55
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: toward thinking he'll probably sit, especially when you think, you know,

56
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: you got a division game next. If he doesn't play

57
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: in this game, he's got a long weekend to cover.

58
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: Just seems like a better safe than sorry type of

59
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: situation to me. Cam Fleming last week had some rough moments,

60
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: but also played pretty well. Definitely played better in the

61
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: second half. The entire offensive line played better in the

62
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: second half. How much confidence do you have in him

63
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: that would you have in him this week as a

64
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: starter last week? It's one thing when when the team

65
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: because I don't think anyone including us, expected that Tyrone

66
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 1: was gonna miss last week. So once you figure out

67
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: that he's not playing, and then he has to go

68
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: in and Cam Fleming has to go into the game,

69
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: that's one thing for a defender to have to adjust

70
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: to this week. My assumption is that the New Orleans

71
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: Saints are looking at this team and looking at Cam

72
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: Fleming specifically those pass rushers, and saying, that's the guy

73
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: that we're probably gonna have to play this thing. I'm

74
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: gonna have to be What does he not do well?

75
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: How much confidence do you have in him to be

76
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: able to be successful in that kind of scenario. I

77
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: don't really put a lot of stuck get in that

78
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: because I think most of the time, if you talk

79
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: to somebody from the Saints, they would say, oh, Tyrant's

80
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: gonna play. You know that. I don't think they still

81
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: believe's gonna think that they believe that, and because they

82
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: can prepare for that, and if they have to prepare

83
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: and play against Fleming. That's fine, you don't you don't

84
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: want it to be the other way around, and you

85
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: start preparing for Fleming. I don't, really, I don't. I

86
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: think there's too much put into that. I think that

87
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: Cam Fleming is gonna have to go out and play well.

88
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: He is what he is. He's a he's a kind

89
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: of a he's not a journeyman yet, but he's that

90
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: guy where he's kind of bounced around a little bit.

91
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: He's pretty good, but he's not that great, and he's

92
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: a backup lineman, and those guys get exposed if you

93
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: leave him out there for too long, especially um, you know,

94
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: got a Pro Bowl defensive end and Cam Jordan, who

95
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,119
Speaker 1: he actually he flip flops around on their defensive line.

96
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: But i'd imagine he's going to get some run at

97
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: right defensive end if Cam Fleming is playing, U feel

98
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: better that he had, you know, a full week to

99
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: take starters reps and get acclimated because he I mean,

100
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: he said after the game on Thanksgiving that he didn't

101
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: know he was going to be starting until he got

102
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: to the stadium on Thursday, So that'll hopefully make a difference.

103
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't, you know, I don't think he's gonna look

104
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,679
Speaker 1: like Chad's green out there. And I hate for Chad's

105
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: green that we're gonna say that for the Restord he

106
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: just got signed. Yeah, he's in Oakland now. He was

107
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: actually with the Saints for a little while, but good

108
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: for him. I thought it was with the Saints. He's

109
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: with Oakland now either though he just got signed yesterday.

110
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: I just hate, like, fifty years from now on, you know,

111
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: if Cowboys Break is still a thing, people gonna be like, well,

112
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: the anniversary off Cowboys Break. Hopefully he's not gonna give you. Hopefully,

113
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: he's not gonna get Chad's greened out there like he's

114
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: the bar He's like, anything better than Chad's green than

115
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: you're Okay, that's what happens, and have one of the

116
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: worst games in history NASCAR break. Is that what we're doing?

117
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: Fifty years, ten years from now? How about that? Okay?

118
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: For a long time, For a long time, Chad's green

119
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: will be the barometer there? Would you say? A little

120
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: diego over there? That's what she says. Her kid's gonna be,

121
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god, really diego If I have a kid.

122
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: I don't know why we're talking about that. Yeah, when

123
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: I have a kid, my boy's gonna be named Diego.

124
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: You guys sure do love to let us be on

125
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: the road. I know, we just look for opportunities to

126
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes, Dave, um, I've lost my training. You know what,

127
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: I think, Cam Flumbing will be fine. It makes it's

128
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: all relative right, He'll be all right. It makes me

129
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: wonder the severity of this injury because coming off the game,

130
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: when you saw tiring fall on the ground, it looked

131
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: pretty serious, it looked pretty painful. But then when he

132
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: talked to the media, he basically said, I'm okay, I'm fine,

133
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: And that's kind of the thing that he always says.

134
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: And it's gonna keep Sam Yeah, yeah, And again, in

135
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: my opinion, I would imagine this whole season he's been

136
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: playing with some kind of pain already from the past.

137
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: So to be painful enough or severe enough to where

138
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: now it's keeping you off the field, what does that

139
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: mean for the future, especially a guy that has already

140
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: been dealing with injury. But again, you look at this

141
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: game and you, guys, you and Dave said yesterday that

142
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: this is not necessarily a game that you need to win. Therefore, yes,

143
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: keep him off to the side. In case you do

144
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: make it to the playoff, then you can just tell him, well, no,

145
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: you need you need Well, here's still you need to win.

146
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: You gotta win. You just don't think they will win.

147
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm talking about this specific game though. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

148
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: I agree with you. Well we move on. If you

149
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: know they can't handle that they lose this week, it's

150
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: not the end. If they lose next week to Philadelphia,

151
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: I believe their chances of then winning the division decreased

152
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: significantly in my opinion. Now maybe it doesn't, but that's

153
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: my opinion. So I'm way more concerned about what's going

154
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: to happen against Philadelphia than I am what's gonna happen

155
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: this week. I think you can set yourself up in

156
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: a very very nice position by winning this week. But

157
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: I don't think it kills you if you don't. That's

158
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: the point, and that's why I would sit tyn Uh

159
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: give him ten days to get ready for that game.

160
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: You just you have to beat Philly. You don't have

161
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: to beat the Saints. It would be fun. Yeah, you

162
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: don't have to win. It would be good. It would

163
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: be in a great position if you can beat them,

164
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: you think they can beat them without Tyrant? Oh Philly. Yeah,

165
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: of course they can't yet beat anybody. I mean, but

166
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: that's not the point yourself about to have the best

167
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: players possible healthy for the most important game. There you go,

168
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: there you go, Okay, No, I mean, honestly, I just think,

169
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: I honestly think that Philadelphia is the one that has

170
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: the bull's eye on it. You lose that game, and

171
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: it's it's to me, it's it's gonna make it very

172
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: tough down the stretch for you to be able to

173
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: win this division. If you're not, if you don't have

174
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: that tige break over Philadelphia, I think you need it.

175
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: I agree. All right, let's let's talk a little bit

176
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: more about I guess the inactives. At this point, we

177
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: know that those four Tavon, Austin, Sean Lee, David Irving,

178
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: Jeff Swain will be inactive right now. If we had

179
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: to guess, would you say Tyrant's probably inactive? If I

180
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: had to guess, I think, so, okay, that gets you

181
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: to five. I wouldn't. I would not put him on

182
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: the list. I think you can get there without putting

183
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: him on the list, just because because you've got Connor

184
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: Williams as your own back up there, and he hasn't

185
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: practiced all year. I mean, I would think you could

186
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: probably put him in uniform like he did last week,

187
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: and so you would just then go with the backup quarterback. Yeah,

188
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: I mean you can do it for sure. It kind

189
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: of goes back to what Derek said yesterday though, like

190
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: if he's not healthy enough to start, it reminds me

191
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: of what I said about Travis Frederick too. Just remove

192
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: the temptation to use him, Like if he's not healthy

193
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: enough to start, then why it's he healthy enough to

194
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: do anything? Because eighty percent Tyren Smith is good enough

195
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: to start. Probably a seventy percent Tyren Smith is good

196
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: enough to start if you tell him. He's a lot

197
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: less than that as far as just his health and

198
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: his ability to do things. I don't know if you

199
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: want him out there at all, right, but I mean

200
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: they he was active last week, so yeah, and you could.

201
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: I mean, so Mike White'll sit. That gets you to five.

202
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: Chris Covington is always a candidate to sit. You'd like

203
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: to have more defensive or more linebackers than that, but

204
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: you could sit him. You could sit the safety darry

205
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: and Thompson. There's an easy way to get into the

206
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: defensive line. You've I have a lot of guys there

207
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: now because the typical comes back, you don't necessarily need

208
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 1: could she got a lot of options of guys that

209
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: you can make inactive, Plenty of options if you know

210
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: what Tyran Smith. Because we're doing it then yeah, yeah,

211
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: keeping active because it doesn't make sense so that if

212
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: he was to be inactive, the week to do so

213
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 1: was last week, right, which is the closest to when

214
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: his injury happened. Now, you're supposed to progress a time

215
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: as time goes by. This is another week a head,

216
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: so why would you make him inactive now? The thing

217
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: you gotta remember, though, is when you're talking about stingers,

218
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: when you're talking about anything that's nerve related, that's not

219
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: like a typical let's say you gotta sprain knee that yes,

220
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: over time is going to get better yet, but but

221
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that. But with nerves, it's not a

222
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: thing where it's just like you can really say, well,

223
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: it's better today than it was yesterday. Right, It's just

224
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: it takes its own time to kind of get better,

225
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: and and you might feel better today and then feel

226
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: worse tomorrow. I mean, I've had some dealt with some

227
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: stuff with nerves. Like it's all over the map. Yeah,

228
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: it's all over the map. You just don't Yeah it does.

229
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: It really sucks because you might think you're starting to

230
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: feel better, but then you know a day later you

231
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: feel horrible. Right, So it's just I don't know. You

232
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: just really don't know how that all plays out. And

233
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: so I think I kind of agree with Dave that

234
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: maybe just take away the temptation. But if you have

235
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: the the inactives already and you just have the extra

236
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: spot to make him active, there's probably no harm in

237
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: making him. I just don't necessarily want to see him

238
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: have to play if he's not healthy enough to start,

239
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: is the way I look at it. Ten years ago,

240
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: one of the worst losses ever that the Cowboys have

241
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: had since we've been here was the game against the Rams.

242
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: Remember that back in two thousand and eight, and Romo

243
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: had gotten hurt a week before and they put him

244
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: out in uniform, had a broken finger, and they put

245
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: him in uniform for the game against the Old and

246
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: four Rams, and they let Brad Johnson start a round.

247
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 1: Terrible you just go with. And it was one of

248
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: the worst losses. They lost by like twenty points, and

249
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: Romo was in uniform the whole day and it was

250
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: kind of he had been throwing passes and it just

251
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: caused all this confusion. So now, like I kind of

252
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: see your point a little bit there, because I remember

253
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: that day was so frustrating. It was like, why would

254
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: you even have him out there if you think he

255
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 1: could maybe do something? At what point in this game

256
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: do you not say, please come in and save us here? Right?

257
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: Remember that? Yeah? I do remember that. Here's two sides

258
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: to that too, because I mean, you know, if Cam

259
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: Fleming is just getting his butt whipped and Tyrn standing

260
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: there in uniform, yeah, or the flip side of that

261
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: is Cam Fleming, you know, dislocates his finger and has

262
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: to come out for a snap and tyr And is

263
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: sitting even you know, you only need him for six plays,

264
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: but he's unavailable and so you got to send Connor

265
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: Williams out there to play tackle when Tyran probably could

266
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: have gotten through a series. So six to one half

267
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: a dozen together, which is why you know, people roll

268
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: their eyes at that me included, You're like, who's a

269
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: game time decision. Bs, But yeah, I think it probably

270
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: truly is for him. You go out, see how it feels,

271
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: see how he's moving, YadA, YadA, YadA, try to come

272
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: up with can he start? Do you think he could

273
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: give you fifteen plays if he needed to, and then

274
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: you know, make your determination. Yeah, there's a lot of

275
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: things that play there. I mean, like what's his range, emotion,

276
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: we start talking about this kind of injury, like can

277
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: he move his arm a certain way? How does it

278
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: you know, all those things matter, and that probably is

279
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 1: a day to day type thing. So it literally would

280
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: be a get him out to the stadium tomorrow, test

281
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: it out, see how he feels, see what his pain

282
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: level is, like all those things, and then you have

283
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: to make a decision on how much you think you

284
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: can use him in whether like Dave says, maybe it

285
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: is you feel like, hey, if he had to play

286
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: a series, he could, If he felt if he had

287
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: to play two series, he could, well, Okay, in that instance,

288
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: maybe you make him in, you make him active, so

289
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: if you get into that pinch, you can throw him

290
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: out there for a little bit and help yourself. All right,

291
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: let's take let's take our first break. We'll take an

292
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: early break here. We'll come back, and I want to

293
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: jump right into Dave scouting report on the Saints. He's

294
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: going to tell us about the Saints defense and how

295
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: it matches up with this Cowboys offensive when we come

296
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,400

Speaker 1: segment of The Break live from the SWBC Mortgage studios

338
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: at the Star, talking Cowboys versus Saints. That happens tomorrow night.

339
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: It is a Thursday night football kick off with the

340
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys at home, and we'll get a chance to see

341
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: how they perform against this ten and one Saints team. Dave, Yes, sir,

342
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about the Saints defense. Let's

343
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: do it. What you got? Um? Well, the big talking

344
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: point that I think everybody's heard at this point in

345
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: time is their run defense, which you know, anytime the

346
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys play a good run defense, it's gonna be much

347
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: bally hood. I don't mean this in any disrespect to them,

348
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: but it just it reminds me of the twenty sixteen Cowboys.

349
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: I think it's really more of a product of how

350
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: often they're playing with leads than that. It's just this

351
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: impenetrable front so I'm just really curious to see how

352
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: that plays out and see all you know, unstoppable force

353
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: to move a blah object. I think the Saints, I mean,

354
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys can have success against these guys.

355
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: This is a talented group, but we've just we've seen

356
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: them execute at two high of a level for the

357
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: last three weeks for me to think the Saints can

358
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: completely shut them down. Um, they're number one against the run,

359
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,479
Speaker 1: they're still their middle of the pack. Just as a defense,

360
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: their secondary has been surprisingly bad because it was actually

361
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 1: a strength last year. You know, they drafted Marshawn Lattimore.

362
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: They brought in Marcus Williams, who I know he made

363
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: the terrible play that lost them in the Minnesota game

364
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, but actually had a really great rookie

365
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: season before that. Hold on, why are they bad? Dude? Like? What? What?

366
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,719
Speaker 1: What tells you that they're bad? They're giving up an

367
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: average of three hundred yards per game, but the run

368
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 1: defense is no, You're right, I mean their number, you're

369
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: both of these are slightly skewed because of how teams

370
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: have to play against. Yes, you are. That's all I'm saying.

371
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: There is just I did an interview yesterday and they

372
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: were like, there's a number one run defense. I'm like, okay,

373
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: but I'm sure teams aren't just running the ball in

374
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: the second and third quarter. You're absolutely right. The numbers

375
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: are skewed because they pass a lot. They still give

376
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: up big plays though, like they give up gains in

377
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: coverage again, probably because opponents are throwing so much against them.

378
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: And to their credit, it really seems like they're rounding

379
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,719
Speaker 1: into form over the last month or so, not so much.

380
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they gave up three hundred and

381
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: seventy four yards to Matt Ryan, but they have forced

382
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: eleven turnovers in their last five games. I believe eight

383
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: of those are interceptions. Lattimore is a top ten pick.

384
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 1: Williams is good. Kurt Coleman used to play with the Panthers.

385
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: He's a veteran guy, and they traded for Eli Apple,

386
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: who He's not lighting the world on fire, and he's

387
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: probably the guy that you want to pick on in

388
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: this matchup, but he is. He's playing better the longer

389
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: he's there. Do they travel those guys like they travel?

390
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: I think I think they would prefer not to. And

391
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: I've talked to Brian about this. He thinks that, you know,

392
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: let's if Amari Cooper has sets against Apple, he thinks

393
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: they'll move Lattimore or they'll do something. But I don't,

394
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think it's going to be a

395
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: scenario where Lattimore just starts out going wherever Cooper goes.

396
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: I think they'll adjust to that as the game goes along.

397
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: And the good thing to note about about Cooper is

398
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: that he can play all all the positions, so they

399
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: can move him all across. So it makes it tough

400
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: for teams to say, hey, we're just going to travel

401
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: a guy, because now you may be traveling him all

402
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: over the place, and that affects everybody else. You talk

403
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: about this a lot nick Traveling somebody means that everybody

404
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: else has to travel too. You're going to travel that

405
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: one corner who's going to cover this receiver. It's one

406
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: thing when that receiver stays in one place, like a

407
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant. When you got into Mark Cooper, who can

408
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: play all the different positions, now when that guy moves,

409
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: everybody else on the defense has to move and play

410
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: another position. Couple other points. So, yes, these stats are

411
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: a byproduct of how the offense is playing. I definitely

412
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: believe that. Probably I wouldn't write it off that way though.

413
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: You know, Lattimore is a much more talented corner than

414
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: thirtieth ranked secondary would have you believe just because people

415
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: aren't running on him. Cam Jordan is just fantastic like

416
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: he Him and DeMarcus Lawrence reminds me a lot of

417
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: each other, like they're they're highly drafted guys. What did

418
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: he say this week? Then? Cam Jordan? Actually he had

419
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: a good quote that was just kind of about, you know, yeah,

420
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: we're playing with a lot of leads in our offense,

421
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: helps us, but we've played in some nitty gritty type

422
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: ball games where we did our jobs really well too.

423
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: And to that end, I looked this up. The three

424
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: best rushing offenses they've played are the Rams, the Ravens,

425
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: and the Browns. The Rams completely gashed him, which to

426
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: that point, Rams ran at nineteen times for ninety two

427
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: yards five yards to carry. That's exactly right, they just

428
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: got away from it. Nowhere near as many rushing attempts

429
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: as you would prefer, but against the Ravens and Browns,

430
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: the eleventh and seventh best rushing games in football three

431
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: point three yards per carry in three point four yards

432
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: per carry, and those were one possession games that came

433
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: down to the buzzers. So tell me the different. It's

434
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: also between sure those runners, right obviously, yeah, I know, Uh,

435
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: they don't have Zeke Chubb wasn't playing Willard Browns played

436
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: that game at least not enough. Actually, I think Razorback

437
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: was playing Alex Collins. Oh uh yeah Baltimore. Yeah yeah,

438
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 1: probably Chubb had two carries for fourteen yards, so maybe

439
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: they should have given it two more of Maybe that

440
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: was a hint um. But Cam Jordan's outstanding. He's just

441
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: he's much like DeMarcus Lawrence. He's underrated as a run defender.

442
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: He's got eight sacks and that kind of steals the headlines.

443
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: But he's great at creating penetration, setting the like. He

444
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: doesn't give up the edge. It's hardly ever. And then

445
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: Sheldon rankins, he is I want a defensive tackle like

446
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: this on this Dallas defense. He's which you know, he's

447
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: the twelfth overall pick I think, so that's not going

448
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: to happen here, but uh, just big No, he's got

449
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: seven sacks. He just destroys the interior the line. He's

450
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not like you know, he's not like

451
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: Vince Wilfork. He's not like Buddy. He is a great

452
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: trading I want that defensive to vincel for it. Well,

453
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: I mean just everybody does, no, but just six oh see,

454
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: six foot thirty pounds. I don't want that because of

455
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: stubby little Yes, I don't want that. Vita vea perfect example,

456
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: like the Bucks aren't even using him because in the

457
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 1: modern NFL there's no use for that guy unless it's

458
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: like short yardage, like he's got to come off the

459
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: field off after second down. You'd rather have the guy

460
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: that even though he may not be a just a fireplug.

461
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,719
Speaker 1: I want he's gonna get a feel a little bit more.

462
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: Two hundred and seventy five pound guy who's gonna be

463
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: on top of the quarterback before he's finishing and dropped.

464
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: I'm on David Irving. Well, sorry, he's got a sprained ankle.

465
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: Yeah he does. I don't know what you want me

466
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: to say about that. Will he ever play for the

467
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys again? I just took us on a whole different

468
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: path than where we were there. I'm just rounding it out.

469
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: They get takeaways, Uh, they got a lot of it,

470
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: doesn't It's not completely dissimilar to the Cowboys because they've

471
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: got a lot of young draft picks who are rounding

472
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: into playing that way. I mean, Cam Jordan's the old head.

473
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: He's been there forever at this point. But Rankins was

474
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: a sixteen draft pick. He's this is the first year

475
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: he's really playing like that. Obviously, Lattimore and Marcus Williams

476
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: are on the back end. Apples not their draft pick,

477
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: but he's a young draft pick, first round right Apple. Yes,

478
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: they brought into Mario O'Davis from the Jets. He's I mean,

479
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: he's there, do everything guy, but a name I think

480
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: people should know. Alexandz ALONEI third round pick last year.

481
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: Always injured in college, like never played more than I

482
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: don't think he ever played a full college season while

483
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: he was at Florida, and that was kind of like, well,

484
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: he's a great player if he can stay on the field. Well,

485
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: he's been on the field this year. In their last

486
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: four games, he's got twenty tackles, a pick, a sack,

487
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: and two pass breakups. So he's a player when he's healthy,

488
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: and he's healthy right now. He's got long, blonde hair,

489
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: he can't miss him. So that's a guy that I

490
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: would watch out for. But so young young defense that is.

491
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: I think they kind of struggled at the beginning. I mean,

492
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: they start the season by giving up fifty points in

493
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: a loss. But they are playing much better. But I

494
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys are going to be able to run

495
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: the ball on them straight up. Let me ask you this.

496
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: Do you think that there will be any temptation on

497
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: the part of the Cowboys to do what the Rams

498
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: did and abandon the run because they see so many

499
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: opportunities in the passing game? Is it one of those

500
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: situations whereas the game wears on, you see, hey, we're

501
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: getting understand my point. I understand my point. As the

502
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 1: game goes on, if you're seeing receivers open a lot,

503
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: then it starts making you think, hey, kill, kill kill,

504
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: We need to throw right. Do you get baited into

505
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: that to some degree because you start seeing all these

506
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: opportunities if these numbers hold up from the standpoint of

507
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: this past defense really being able to be gashed, do

508
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: you find yourself in one of those games where it

509
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: just kind of works out that when we've seen don't

510
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: act like we haven't seen that before. We've seen situations

511
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 1: where we look back at the end of the game

512
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: we're like, get maybe not. And then that's my point,

513
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: that's why I would be worried about it. But do

514
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: you find yourself maybe in that situation where you just

515
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: you're tempted to keep throwing the ball when you really

516
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: should be running you No, you're right, that's what happens.

517
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: That's what happens in football. So what happens in basketball,

518
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: that's what happens in boxing. That's what happens when someone

519
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: tries to get you out of your game and you

520
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: get tempted to doing that. You're fast, you know, fast paced,

521
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: up and down. You're like, wait, well, that's not what

522
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: we need to do. So you're right about that. They

523
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: don't need to be baited into that. I don't think

524
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: the Rams were baited into that because that's what the

525
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: Rams so they do, and I don't think they should

526
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: have been afraid to go, well, we can go up

527
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: and down the field. They got the number one pick,

528
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: they got a great running back to so, but the

529
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: Cowboys can't do that, And you're right, they need to

530
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: make sure they don't do that. Run the ball, keep

531
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: breeze on the sideline, cash it in, get touchdowns. You

532
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: can't play that type of game. They don't have the

533
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: type of guys that can go up and down the

534
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: field and do that. Because even more, you keep throwing

535
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: it to Dac over the middle, his ninety yard touchdown,

536
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,959
Speaker 1: great throw. He does that five times, it might get

537
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: picked a couple of times. So you're playing with fire

538
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: if you want to play that style, and I think

539
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys would be would be foolish to get into

540
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: a game like that. Also proven to win any game

541
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: by playing that way. And another thing is it's dad,

542
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: but would be careful the way he handles the ball

543
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: right now, he's been lucky, you know, when he makes

544
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: a fumble and somehow magically the ball just comes back

545
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: to him. So that's another thing that he needs to

546
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 1: be very careful when he starts feeling pressure. Keep in mind,

547
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 1: also it doesn't look like it, but that game got

548
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: away from the Rams. They were down thirty five fourteen

549
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 1: at one point. They had to throw their way back

550
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: into it. And I don't think the Cowboys are coming

551
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: back from a twenty one point deficit the way that

552
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: they're built, And that's I might be misremembering this, but

553
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: like in the Dak Prescott era, have they ever I

554
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: know they've gotten away from the run because they've been

555
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: down or because they can't run the ball, but like,

556
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: have they ever gotten into like a track meet type

557
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: of game where Zach Za Dak is just zipping them

558
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 1: down the field and Zeke is like an afterthought because

559
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: recall it, it's not a thing that they do. Like it.

560
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: When the Cowboys play in shootouts, they're stringing together you know, six, seven,

561
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: eight or longer play drives that incorporate Zeke, Like that's

562
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: how they they play winning football. When they were down

563
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: in the playoffs against the Packers at home, yeah, I

564
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: don't remember exactly, and I know they were down pretty

565
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: big and one three at one point and all no Zeke.

566
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: Zeke had so many fewer touches in that game than

567
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: you would have preferred. I think that was one redected

568
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: kind of have to throw. But I also think I

569
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: also think if you're early in the game and the

570
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys are down let's say two touchdowns, I don't think

571
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: they panic. I don't think they get into a situation

572
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: where let's just throw our way out of it, and

573
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: you can't. I think you have to actually slow it

574
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: down at that moment. And by slowing it down, I

575
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: mean now run the ball like run the ball and

576
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: try to take a lot more time to move the

577
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 1: ball methodically down the field. It's okay to get four

578
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: yards and keep going and doing that consistently and drive

579
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: the ball down the field. Second down is gonna be huge.

580
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: I know we talk about third down a lot and

581
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: first down. Second down is really important here because you

582
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: get a three or four yard run on second and

583
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: you know it's ninety's second and six, second and seven.

584
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: What do you do there? Because if you can't get

585
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: any more yards and now it's third down and we

586
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen there, they've got to keep moving.

587
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: That's what happened on that long drive against the Falcons

588
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: when they had about five first downs they were they

589
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: were able to get it to third and two and

590
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 1: third and one on productive second down plays. But we'll

591
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: say this now that they have incorporated Mary Cooper, they've

592
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: gotten a lot better with converting those third and six

593
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,479
Speaker 1: is third and sevens because he is he has been

594
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: a conversion machine for him when it comes to third

595
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: downs that end using zeke a little bit more out

596
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: of the backfield. I think that gives them a few

597
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: more options. But you're right, it's going to be very

598
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: important for them to get manageable third down. Yeah, I

599
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: just about it. Well, I'm looking for the exact where

600
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: was the ninety yard or Yeah, no, that ain't I

601
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: mean you never want to You don't want to turn

602
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: up your nose at a ninety yard touchdown, but two

603
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: plays ninety one yards fifty five seconds, that's a bad

604
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: thing in this game, Like you don't want that. Well,

605
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: sounds like it's not a preferable thing. It's not a

606
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: bad thing when you get a touch touchdowns are never bad,

607
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: but you need to control the ball and the clock

608
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: way more than that. Like, I don't this, I don't

609
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: want to zip up and down the field. And that's

610
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: the Atlanta blueprint is what I'm looking at. Like, and

611
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be way easier said than done. But I

612
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: think you win this game by scoring no more than

613
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: twenty four points. Seen what then, like do that type

614
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: of play where they throw for like, let's say runs.

615
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm not worried. I'm not worried about it happening. You're

616
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: lucky if it happens, but and that's okay, it's happen

617
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: in a game. Yeah, exactly, me too, But it's you're

618
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: okay if it only happens once in a game. If

619
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, in that last game they still had two

620
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: drives that I want to say, over seven minutes for

621
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: each one of those drives, that's what you need to do.

622
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: You just think to have two three, four drives in

623
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: the game that are gonna take significant, significant amount of

624
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: time and then you end with touchdowns. So that's the key.

625
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: You gotta end with touchdowns when you have those long

626
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: sustained drives. But if they can do that a few times,

627
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: even if they get some quick strikes, which is always

628
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: good too, I think you're still okay. It's just you

629
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: can't do that all day because then you're gonna track

630
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: meet and if you're in a track meet against Drew

631
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: Brees and that offense, it's gonna be hard to win.

632
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna be very hard to win. All right, let's

633
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: take um, let's take. Actually, I did have one other

634
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 1: question for you, Dave on the Scoutter Report. Yeah, um,

635
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: looking at Cam Jordan alex Oka for Marcus Davenport, is

636
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: this the best. Is this the best group of edge

637
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: rushers the cowboys that face to see No, Okay, who's better?

638
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: Clownie and Watt for sure? Okay, and I would throw

639
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: um Washington. Washington's interior is really good. I don't know,

640
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: you think they're edge guys are as good as these

641
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: guys as well. I'm I mean, I have an immense

642
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: amount of respect for Cam Jordan. I think Rankins is

643
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: really good. Okah, for is fine, and I'm Marcus Davenports

644
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: playing well before you got hurt, and he's got four

645
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: sacks like he's he's been. He's been really good for

646
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,479
Speaker 1: a rookie who wasn't like the consensus number one overall

647
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: pick Um Oh, Clowney and Wine. I think uh In,

648
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: Gockway and Campbell are significantly better. I don't know about significantly,

649
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: but like can't I really, I mean, I think it's

650
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: a it sucks that Tyrant might not play because if

651
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: he if he was playing, I think this was a

652
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: pretty favorable matchup because I you know, Suaphilo has played well,

653
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: and you got Zack Martin to handle Rankins, and then

654
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: Cam Jordan is is far and away their best addresser.

655
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they only have thirty one sacks. Like they're

656
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: not I think they're ranked fourteenth. They're not like this act.

657
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: They're like one spot behind the scene the Cowboys. So

658
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: um no, I think no. Well, the reason the reason

659
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: I don't think, well, let me ask you the reason why.

660
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: The reason why I ask that is because I'm looking

661
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: at the fact that if if Tyron doesn't play, then

662
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: now you're one step down there and the other area

663
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: where you've had significant problem you still continue to have

664
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: problems is at the right tackle position. If you've got

665
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: significant pass rushers on the other team off the edge,

666
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: now your weakest point on the offensive line is maybe

667
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: where their strength is. That's the reason why I think

668
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: that's the question you're saying is is they've made him

669
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: better a little bit, that made him a little bit

670
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: more a part of the game if Tyrn doesn't play

671
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: in the way Lyle's plan. But I don't think that

672
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: that makes them one of your you know, I think

673
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: tougher duos because what happened in Houston, and I think

674
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: Jacksonville was better Washington. I think it probably has you know,

675
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: comparable defensive ends around the edge. But I yeah, Cam

676
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: Jordan against Lyle and Cam Fleming could be problematic, but

677
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: he can only be in one place at a time.

678
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: He doesn't have a partner, I mean Clowney and Watt,

679
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: that's gross. And Hilo, Yeah, Sue A. Philo has played

680
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: you know well. He handled Fletcher Cox, which leads me

681
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: to believe he can handle Sheldon Rankins. Right. Yeah, I'm

682
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: less concerned about the interior. I'm way more concerned about

683
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: what's happening on the edge. And Marcus, that report, I

684
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: think is a guy that can't have an impact in

685
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: this game. Every time I downplay somebody's players like they

686
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: just blow up. So, now that I've said this, I'm

687
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: sure Debt Marcus Davenport's gonna have five, but he's coming

688
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: off an injury. He's a rookie like I would hope

689
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: Lyle Collins can give better than he gets in that matchup.

690
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: Cam Jordan will probably be problematic, especially if Tyrant can't play,

691
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: but it's not something I think that the Cowboys should

692
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: let ruin their game plan. I hope again, knock on wood.

693
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: Now that I've said it's that's never good. All right,

694
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna go and take our final break. When we

695
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: come back, We've got to talk about Debarcus Lawrence. He

696
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: has some interesting comments yesterday about these New Orleans Saints.

697
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: And then we'll also get to our picks for the game.

698
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: Nick's going to tell us why the New Orleans Saints

699
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: will win or lose. We'll see what he's gonna say

700
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: when we come right back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot

702
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: it's when he's out on the field that you find

703
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: out what he's made of. That's why the Cowboys rely

704
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,720

767
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, but yes, there are women. Women don't

768
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: want them either. Good, they don't. Nobody likes that feeling.

769
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: All right, good, all right, So let's jump back in.

770
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: We've gotten our Scotter report for both the offense, I

771
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: mean for the offense yesterday for the defense today. Um,

772
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: and we're gonna take some calls here at some point

773
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: during the show, so feel free to call us eight

774
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five five two two nine seven before

775
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: we get to calls. Though, I do want to talk

776
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: about DeMarcus Lawrence. Yesterday. He had some interesting comments, and

777
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: I think they were kind of uh. There's one comment

778
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: that's getting a lot of play. There's another that's not

779
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: getting as much play. But I think it's as important

780
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: as the second comments. I'm gonna read the first comment

781
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: that he made, and he said this team right here

782
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: that we're going to face his hands down, if you

783
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: really look at the details, the best team in the league.

784
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: That's an important statement. On the other hand, here was

785
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: this other comment, They're going to have to match our

786
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: intensity for sixty minutes straight if they if you hit

787
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 1: up mother um in the mouth and then they ain't

788
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: doing what they're regularly doing, putting up fifty points, they

789
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: start to get a little distressed. Now you got them

790
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: where you want them at and then you um choked

791
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: there out guys. I think that's a good idea for

792
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: him to go that hard, and I guess with the media.

793
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: As far as his comments about the Saints, I think

794
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: it's great. I think it's awesome, but Also, I want

795
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: to throw something else out there, which is it's not

796
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: an idea. It's not like I really don't DeMarcus Lawrence

797
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: didn't wake up and say like, I'm gonna let the

798
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: Saints know what's up today. DeMarcus Lawrence is like one

799
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: of the most authentic people I've ever been around. He

800
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: can't be anybody but himself and and I'm not trying

801
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: to call him stupid. He's not a stupid person at all,

802
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: but like he's just going to tell you how he feels,

803
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter if you're holding a recorder or

804
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: if you've got a camera in his face. And I

805
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: value that about him. I love it. There's there's so

806
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: much phoniness and canned bs in sports, and I spend

807
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: so much time rolling my eyes at the phony bs

808
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: that I hear from most football players and coaches that

809
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: I appreciate him saying something authentic and so I appreciated it.

810
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: You know, I love DeMarcus Lawrence. I love his personality,

811
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,479
Speaker 1: he's attitude and everything. I love the comment he made

812
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 1: was it last year when he was talking about the

813
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: referee and you know, getting penalties and stuff like that.

814
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: I'm af or Yes, but this specific comment, to me,

815
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: it was a little too aggressive, because the Saints they

816
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: deserve that kind of respect. I mean, they've earned it

817
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: this year. Like you, you should have respect for what

818
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: they're doing. And no, and the fact that you're mentioning, oh,

819
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,919
Speaker 1: what they're usually doing putting up fifty points, that's pretty high.

820
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: The fact that you said that, you know, they're pretty

821
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: high up there. And even if you chucked them in

822
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: the neck and let's say you hold them there for

823
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 1: a little bit, they're still most likely going to get

824
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,959
Speaker 1: at least half of that, let's say twenty five points.

825
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: So I think that was a little two out there.

826
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: I can I just say this one thing, and I

827
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: want to I want to clarify this a little bit exactly.

828
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: I think it's been mischaracterized. I don't think that DeMarcus

829
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: was saying we're going to choke out the sting Saints. Nope.

830
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: I think what he was saying was this is a

831
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: really good team, but if we're gonna have a chance

832
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: of success, we have to punch him in the mouth.

833
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: And then yea, if we can punch him in the mouth,

834
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 1: then you see how they respond to that. If they're

835
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: the kind that when they get punched in the mouth,

836
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: they get distressed. Oh now we got them, right, And

837
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 1: so I think what he's doing is he's painting the

838
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: scenario of this is what we have to do, and

839
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: this is how we're going to find out what kind

840
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: of team they are. And then when we find out

841
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: what kind of team we are, if they are the

842
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 1: type that gets you know, messed up by us really

843
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: you know, punching them in the mouth, then we have

844
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: a shot, right. And so I don't think it's him

845
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:29,879
Speaker 1: going out saying we're going to choke them, but that's

846
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: certainly the way it's being portrayed. And that's why I

847
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: asked the question is it smart to do that? Because

848
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: now if you're worried, if you're one of those people

849
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: that worries about bullets and a board material, you've now

850
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: given bullets and board material. Yeah, it's good to have

851
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: that kind of attitude too, because you want to have

852
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: that energy and that confidence, especially when you're playing against

853
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: such a good team. But at the same time, let's

854
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: say they are unable to do anything great against them,

855
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: then you look dumb in a way. You know. I'm

856
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: just saying, like, it's good to be really confident. But

857
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 1: you have to be careful when you're overly confident against

858
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: the person that you're doing it, you know what I mean.

859
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if he cared, he wouldn't say it,

860
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 1: Like if you're right, and that's a great thing about

861
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: the market, Yeah, he wouldn't say it. I mean, it's

862
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: the whole thing. I mean, the Saints don't need it.

863
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: The Saints don't need that to get I mean, to

864
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: get excited about this game that they should already be there,

865
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: and you know, I mean it's all I mean, it's

866
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: not even literal anyways. I mean, can't hit anybody in

867
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: the mouth, that's obviously penalty. You're not choking anyone out,

868
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: that's felony. So I mean, is that yeah, I mean

869
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 1: it's just football talk. Is he's talking about choking all

870
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:47,479
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah. Not. I just don't. I just don't

871
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: think it's something that really, at the end of the day,

872
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: affects one thing or another. I mean, I don't. I mean,

873
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: it's just him trying to get one excited. I hope

874
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: it doesn't get the hot boys excited they should already

875
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,919
Speaker 1: be there. And I hope it doesn't get ram Check

876
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: or whoever over there excited to block him. Although when

877
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 1: you when you when your boy goes all in, I mean,

878
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: you know, if it's your boy and he's going all in,

879
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 1: like yeah, we got we can, we can get with these,

880
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 1: it does I think you talk about his leadership. I

881
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: do think that that kind of thing can't have an

882
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 1: impact on the rest of that defensive line to be like, man,

883
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 1: we don't have to be scared of them. The other

884
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: quote that you left out of there too, because I

885
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: was there the reporter at the reporter basically was like, well,

886
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: so what do you think about this offensive line? Is

887
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: it the best that you've watched? Like eleven sacks blah

888
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: blah blah. You know that nobody can get to Breeze

889
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: and he to market as only he can say. He's like, Shi, t,

890
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, we haven't played him yet. And then

891
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: you know, he's like, they haven't played us either, so

892
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: and then he said he was like, come ask me

893
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: when the game's over, and I'll be honest with you.

894
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: I'll let you know, and he will and that's yeah,

895
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 1: exactly like he can't be anybody but himself, and he

896
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: said it is only DeMarcus can say it, but he

897
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: basically just outlined the way you have to beat a

898
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,040
Speaker 1: team like this, Like he said it very aggressively. But

899
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, you gotta be physical with him, hit him,

900
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: throw them off what they're used to doing, and see

901
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 1: if you can frustrate him. He just said it like

902
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 1: DeMarcus instead of that. So, hey, when you appreciate it.

903
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: When you got a group of players that have to

904
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 1: go and sit and watch Marionelli madness, they're gonna be

905
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: a little bit aggressive. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I don't

906
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: want to hear I don't want to hear a Rod Baronelli.

907
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: He's like, you shouldn't have said that. We don't show

908
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: me videos of lions disemboweling antelopes all right, eating them

909
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: and then looking up with blood all over their faces

910
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: smile like that. That's that's a part of what you're

911
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: gonna get. You're gonna have a very aggressive group, right.

912
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate his authenticity. And Yeah, to Nix's point, I mean,

913
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, if you need that to get hype in

914
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: the NFL, then you got a problem. Yeah. So, and

915
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 1: I honestly I don't I'm not one that buys much

916
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: into the whole idea of bulletin board material, although I

917
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: do think it just adds extra fodder, and I think

918
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 1: it actually can work in the reverse. I think sometimes

919
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: if you talk a bunch of smack before whenever you're

920
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: going to compete against someone, if things start going bad,

921
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: sometimes if you're the kind of person that gets worried

922
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,879
Speaker 1: about having to back that up, then it can cause

923
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: you to make mistakes because you start pressing to try

924
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 1: to make yourself right. I don't think that's DeMarcus at all. Like,

925
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 1: I don't think he's that kind of I think he's

926
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 1: gonna put it all earlier, he's gonna play the best

927
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: he can play, and then when it's done, however it

928
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: turns out if they don't play well, he will say

929
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: we didn't play well himself a really big out too,

930
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: because it's like, well, can you talk about the comments

931
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: after this game, and in your comments he's like, yeah,

932
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: I said if we could hit him in the mount,

933
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 1: we didn't. We didn't, right, And that's exactly how he'll

934
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: say it too. So I have no problem with a

935
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: guy like it reminds me of It actually reminds me

936
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: of Alvin Kamara, another guy who was just clearly, very

937
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: authentic and true to himself. He's I mean before they

938
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: played the Eagles, because he said last year, he's like,

939
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: if we'd gotten to play the Eagles in the in

940
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 1: the NFC title game, we would have beat the crap

941
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: out of him. And it came back around on him

942
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: before they played the Eagles, and he's like, yeah, so

943
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: what we said we would have And then they come

944
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 1: and they beat him fifty one to seven. So they

945
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 1: come back after the game and say, so you were right.

946
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: Guess you were right about that, Alvin. All right, let's

947
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: jump into our predictions for the game. There we go.

948
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:09,879
Speaker 1: Let's start with Amber. Amber. It was not happy. Who's going?

949
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: Who's going? What? Yeah? Game? Sorry? What do you have

950
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 1: for this game? Who's gonna win? Oh? I'm gonna have

951
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: to pick the Saints. I think it's it's hard not to.

952
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: But again we've said, I don't think anyone of us

953
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: would be surprised if the Cowboys actually did win this game.

954
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 1: You would be going to be surprised, Yeah, gonna be Yes,

955
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 1: I will be surprised if the Cowboys win the game.

956
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,479
Speaker 1: Who's not going to be surprised? I will. I won't

957
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 1: be surprised. I won't be surprised. I won't be surprised.

958
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: Then pick them no, because I don't think they're going

959
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: to will be. That's like saying yes, it is. It's

960
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: different from being shocked stunned. Now, just because just because

961
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: you think something's gonna turn out away a certain way

962
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're sur prize when it doesn't. Because sometimes

963
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: you have to make a decision. You're like, I think

964
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna go this way, but I could vary. It's

965
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 1: my game Saturday, Like, I think we're gonna get rolled

966
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,359
Speaker 1: by Oklahoma, but I wouldn't be shocked if we win.

967
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't be surprised if we I wouldn't

968
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: be surprised if we win. I just kind of think

969
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna lose. I'm gonna call heads on this coin toss,

970
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna be surprised if it's tails. Like

971
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: there's only there's two possible out rights. I mean, no,

972
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't what's your story because Vegas

973
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: doesn't have it as pick them and they would if

974
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 1: you were flipping a coin. It's a seven point game,

975
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: it's a one touchdown game. This is this in the NFL?

976
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: You know that the seven points is the Saints should

977
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: win the game. They should win the game. I think

978
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 1: people are gonna be surprised if the Cowboys win. I

979
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: don't know. The commentary I've heard from a lot of

980
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,359
Speaker 1: different people suggest that people expect the Saints to win,

981
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: but they won't be surprised if the Cowboys win. Okay,

982
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: and so I hate I don't know that it's either.

983
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: I don't think it has to be either or in

984
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 1: this situation, I hate to pull the cliche, but like,

985
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: if I've learned one thing covering Jason Garrett's teams, it's like,

986
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: how can you be surprised by anything they do, like

987
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: the hood or bad, especially this year, Like you really

988
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: don't know why they're going to be doing in each

989
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: game week by week. Right, But but for the Saints

990
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: to not win, then they're probably going to have to

991
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: be held under thirty points or maybe even you know,

992
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: and that would be surprising considering where they are. If

993
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: the Saints score over thirty in the Cowboys match him,

994
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: everyone's going to be shocked to see a thirty five

995
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 1: forty point game like that for the Cowboys. If the

996
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys win forty five to forty one, I will be surprised.

997
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: If they win twenty eight to twenty four, I won't

998
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:43,760
Speaker 1: be surprised. Okay, they haven't let a team score thirty yes, yes, okay,

999
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 1: especially when you don't know what could happen on the

1000
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: game as far as injuries and stuff like that, you

1001
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: never know what could end up working in your favor.

1002
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:59,760
Speaker 1: All right, So anyways, I'm picking the Cowboys. No, I'm okay,

1003
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: I'm picking the things I think. I'm curious to see

1004
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: how the Old Line is gonna play and if they're

1005
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: gonna be affected at all without having Tyren Smith there

1006
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 1: and being able to help out. Also, if so, if

1007
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: they do struggle, how Dak is gonna be able to

1008
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 1: react to that? Is you're gonna go back to that

1009
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 1: whole on confidencedness. I don't even know the right word.

1010
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: But but you got my point, keep going, you get

1011
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 1: the point, You get the point. But how that's gonna

1012
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 1: be affected, because once again we've seen that as soon

1013
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: as they mess with the old Line, that's when everything

1014
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: else starts to fall down. And so go seek obviously

1015
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:52,839
Speaker 1: Dak and then for Amari Cooper. So it's all That's

1016
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:58,800
Speaker 1: where the chain effect starts for me, and I'm curious

1017
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 1: about that. As far as the defense, and sorry I'm

1018
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: kind of rambling around, but as far as the defense go,

1019
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: I think they can do enough to hold up the

1020
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:11,320
Speaker 1: Saints for sure. But if the offense is not able

1021
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: to help them out as well and do put part

1022
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: of their job, then they're screwed. All right, Dave, there

1023
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: are actually a couple of things that work really well

1024
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys in this matchup. I think they'll be

1025
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 1: able to run the ball better than most teams have

1026
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 1: against the Saints. They do really well against pocket passing quarterbacks.

1027
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: It's the mobile guys that have really given them a problem.

1028
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: I think they can absolutely badger Drew Brees to Ron Armstead.

1029
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: You know, they got their own left tackle problems to

1030
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 1: Ron Armstad's probably not going to play. Trummond Bushrod, who

1031
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: got abused by DeMarcus Ware a decade ago, is going

1032
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: to probably be their left tackle in this game. So

1033
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: I think they'll be able to get to Breeze. I

1034
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: think they'll be able to run the ball. I think

1035
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 1: that they can at least make a spirited effort at

1036
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: playing like they did against Atlanta and keeping it in

1037
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 1: the load of mid twenties. I just I think too

1038
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 1: much has to go right. Like, you can't afford to

1039
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: struggle on offense, you can't afford three and outs, which

1040
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 1: we've seen too many times, even in the games that

1041
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 1: they've won. They've been good at taking care of the

1042
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: ball recently, but you can't lose the turnover battle. You

1043
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: can't struggle in the red zone and kick field goals

1044
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 1: against this team, which we've seen throughout the season, and

1045
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: so you know, I think it'll be a spirited effort.

1046
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:32,919
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a really entertaining game,

1047
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: but you just got to play too close to perfect

1048
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,320
Speaker 1: against these guys, and I think I think that'll be

1049
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: too much. At the end of the day, Saints thirty

1050
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: four to twenty four, and to Nick's point, it'll you know,

1051
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 1: it'll be a ten point win, but I think it'll be.

1052
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 1: I think it'll be close and crunch time, all right,

1053
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: I have thirty seven twenty four Saints. I just I

1054
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: don't think the kind of secondary is good enough. I

1055
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: think Byron Jones has done a job this year, probably

1056
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: because of our expectations more than anything, but he's done

1057
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: a nice job, and Anthony Brown and those guys, I

1058
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 1: think I think they're gonna have a hard time, and

1059
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: I think the Saints will will just keep scoring on him,

1060
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 1: and I don't think the Cowboys can can play a

1061
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 1: game like that. So I will be surprised for sure

1062
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys win, because I'm picking a thirteen point

1063
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: win for the Saints and I actually just dropped it

1064
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 1: down in from the forties. So at thirty seven to

1065
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: twenty four, I just don't think they can hang with him.

1066
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 1: Hold on because Derek is about to tell you how

1067
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 1: they can. I am going to tell you how they

1068
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,800
Speaker 1: can because when you look at this team, in my opinion,

1069
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 1: this is a different team. If the Cowboys would have

1070
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 1: had the team that they had now from the beginning

1071
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: of the season, I think this would be a different record.

1072
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: I think this team would be talked about as a

1073
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 1: different kind of team. So I think right now their

1074
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: record is what it is. They're six and five. But

1075
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 1: I do think that when you talk about the product

1076
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: on the field, think about it. The last three weeks,

1077
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:58,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys are entering a lot closer to having an average

1078
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 1: of thirty points a game, which is much closer to

1079
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 1: what they were two years ago and four years ago

1080
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: when they had a really good team and it was

1081
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 1: built again around the running game. But they have a

1082
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: much better defense right now. I think that serves them well,

1083
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 1: and I think that gives them the opportunity to win

1084
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: this kind of game and reassert themselves as maybe they

1085
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: are a player in the NFC because of the changes

1086
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:21,800
Speaker 1: that they've made. I think this offensive line is a

1087
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 1: ton better than what it was five weeks ago, and

1088
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: that's even without Tyren Smith. I think they're a lot

1089
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: better off than they were because the guard position has

1090
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:33,839
Speaker 1: been solidified a little bit more. I think all those

1091
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:35,879
Speaker 1: things Dave said all right. I think they'll be able

1092
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 1: to run the ball. I actually think they'll be able

1093
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 1: to pass the ball as well. I think offensively they'll

1094
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,839
Speaker 1: be okay, as long as they don't end up having

1095
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 1: problems on the edge. That's the one area that I

1096
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 1: think could be a problem for the Cowboys that could

1097
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 1: hurt them Above and beyond what we already know of

1098
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: the Saints. Their offense is going to do what their

1099
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 1: offense does best. The Cowboys will do is slow them down,

1100
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 1: which I think they can do. I think it'll be

1101
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 1: a close game, but I think I just have this

1102
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: feeling this is a Cowboys win to other times I've

1103
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 1: seen this happened, like I've seen in the time I've

1104
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,760
Speaker 1: covered the Cowboys. I've seen these games where the Giant

1105
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,320
Speaker 1: comes to play the Cowboys, or the Cowboys go to

1106
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: play the Giant. And I'm not talking about the Giants.

1107
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the Giant team, the team that's undefeated,

1108
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: or the team that has one loss and they managed

1109
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: to pull off a win. I saw him do it

1110
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, like it's happened, and so I just have

1111
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: a feeling that this is this is setting up nicely

1112
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys to get us, as Nick would call it,

1113
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,320
Speaker 1: a surprise win. I did some research. I did a

1114
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 1: blog on this. The Cowboys have faced the team four

1115
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 1: times in the franchise history that have won ten straight games.

1116
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 1: They come in with a ten game winning streak or more,

1117
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 1: and they're two and two in those games they differed,

1118
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,360
Speaker 1: which is probably pretty pretty good percentage. Defeated the Redskins

1119
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: in ninety one they were eleven and oh they defeated

1120
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 1: the Saints and oh nine, they were thirteen and oh

1121
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: they lost to the Panthers. In twenty fifteen. I did

1122
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 1: not remember that Carolina came in here, tend to No,

1123
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:59,879
Speaker 1: I don't remember that. Thank Yeah, they finished fifteen and one. Yeah,

1124
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 1: and then they also face the Bears in eighty five

1125
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 1: and lost forty four to nothing. And that doesn't throw

1126
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: in the nine the nine win team Indianapolis team, aren't they? Like? Yeah,

1127
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 1: and you count that team if you want to say nine,

1128
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 1: that's fine. All five of those teams made it to

1129
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,359
Speaker 1: the super Bowl and four of them won it. I'm

1130
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,399
Speaker 1: a big I'm a big believer, and within a league

1131
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 1: with this much parody, I like, probability means a lot

1132
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 1: to me, And like you, just you don't see even

1133
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:26,839
Speaker 1: the best teams in the NFL. You don't see teams

1134
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: string together win streaks that go longer than nine or

1135
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: ten games very often. I mean the Patriots, it's too

1136
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,359
Speaker 1: hard to do, the oh nine Saints one thirteen before

1137
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 1: the Cowboys beat them. But I mean, just based on probability,

1138
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 1: you play enough games in a league that this that, this,

1139
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 1: that is this, even somebody will find a way to

1140
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: beat you or you won't be on your game. Which

1141
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,919
Speaker 1: again I hear what you're saying, and I obviously picked

1142
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 1: the Saints to win by ten, but I will not

1143
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,719
Speaker 1: be surprised at but the same thing that you're saying

1144
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 1: about probability, and you're saying that basically it's hard for

1145
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: a team to win eleven in a row and all that,

1146
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 1: But a Jason Garrett coach cowboy team to win fourt

1147
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,879
Speaker 1: eight games, Yeah, I mean six and five. They want

1148
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: to eleven that one time, thoughts, and then they lost

1149
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: to a could score more than seven points. What would

1150
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 1: have loss put them at six and six? All right,

1151
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 1: So let's real quick, let's get one question before we

1152
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:22,319
Speaker 1: end the show. We got a call from Horace in Atlanta. Hey,

1153
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: what's up, gentlemen? Hey, real quick. Yeah, I think that

1154
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 1: we have a really good chance, and I really like

1155
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 1: our chances with our quarterback Jack, I think you all

1156
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: are kind of give him a loud not not enough credit.

1157
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy has not played up to the capability.

1158
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 1: Because of that offers a line, and I think you

1159
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 1: all have mentioned that before. When the line is right,

1160
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,799
Speaker 1: the play is right, the play of the quarterback is right.

1161
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 1: You know, offers a line in twenty sixteen is not

1162
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,320
Speaker 1: the offensive line that we have today. And if you

1163
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 1: want to evaluate that line. With this line, you have

1164
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 1: to make everything equally. He's not playing with the level

1165
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 1: of talent that he had on that team. I think

1166
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 1: he's done really well. I think he's going to do

1167
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: really well in this game. He always plays well in

1168
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 1: the big game, and I love that about him. I

1169
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: hope that we resign him to a big contract because

1170
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 1: I think he is worth it and I think he's

1171
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 1: going to prove that this weekend. All right, thanks for

1172
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: the call, Horson. I just, you know, just remember exactly

1173
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 1: what was said in that call that you know about

1174
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 1: the big contract and all that. If the line is

1175
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: plays well, then he plays well. And I don't think

1176
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: that is the definition of an elite quarterback. That's okay,

1177
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 1: he can be really good and he can play really

1178
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: you know, he can play well at times. But if

1179
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 1: if you need that offensive line to elevate your game,

1180
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: then that just kind of goes to show where you

1181
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: sort of stand. I think guys like the elite quarterbacks,

1182
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: they elevate the guys around them. And Amari Cooper comes

1183
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 1: in and now he's playing better. That there's nothing wrong

1184
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 1: with that. It just goes to show that, you know,

1185
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:02,440
Speaker 1: Dak need needs help. He does need help around him

1186
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 1: to be really good, and he needs a new coach.

1187
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: That's what he needs. He needs a new coach. And

1188
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. The end of story. We've seen we've seen

1189
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 1: his talent. We've seen what he's capable of. I'll just

1190
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 1: tell you real quick. We've seen his talent. We've seen

1191
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 1: what he's capable of. You know he has it in him.

1192
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 1: He just needs to be better. Coach needs a new coach.

1193
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 1: We've seen what Christershar was able to do with Byron Jones.

1194
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:33,439
Speaker 1: We've seen what the new offensive line has been able

1195
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: to do with this offensive line. Now, end of story.

1196
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 1: Just need someone in your ear that has the knowledge

1197
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: and he's able to direct you the right direction. You

1198
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 1: kick a lot of ant piles when you're a kid.

1199
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 1: You just can't help yourself by Yeah, I appreciate you, guys.

1200
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: We'll be back on Friday to tell you, guys what

1201
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: went right and what went wrong for the Cowboys. Still

1202
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: then for Nick Even, Dave helm and Amber Garcia. I'm
