1
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: This he is Talking Cowboys Screaming live on Dallas Cowboys

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: dot Com and the official Dallas Cowboys as by now

3
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:22,159
Speaker 1: your hosts Mickey Spagnola, Brian brought us, Taylor Stern and

4
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: Rob Phillips. Hello, everyone, and welcome to Talking Cowboys Always,

5
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: joined by Mickey, Rob Brian myself in the SUBC Mortgage Studio.

6
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: So much to talk about. The Cowboys had their first

7
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: practice yesterday as they get ready to face the Packers

8
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and there's a lot to talk about, a

9
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: lot of injuries, unfortunately, and a lot of people that

10
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: we just have a question marks by. Yeah, so let's

11
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: get right into it. Unfortunately, yesterday we spent most of

12
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: the first segment talking about who was gonna be the

13
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: guy that they removed from the roster to make room

14
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: for David Irving. Right. Unfortunately, that decision might have already

15
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: been made for us with Charles Tapper injuring his foot

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: with the fifth metatarsal break and he's expected out eight

17
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: to ten weeks, as coach Garrett said today, So there

18
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: you guys have it. I mean, Mickey was asking to

19
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 1: play him, and I agreed with Mickey. I think Mickey

20
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: was absolutely right about Charles Tapper. Charles Tapper deserved an

21
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: opportunity to go and see if he can rush the passer. Yeah,

22
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: and unfortunately though, you know, he he he cannot catch.

23
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: And it's gonna sound terrible, but a break he really can't.

24
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: Two seasons in the league derailed by injuries. Even if

25
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: he can come back later this year, how much back

26
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: to the break as time as he lost. You know,

27
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: breaks very good. Can't we get it because he's back

28
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: to the break? Yeah? Yeah, you see what I did there? Yeah?

29
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: And the break? Right? Yeah, no, you got me? You

30
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: got me? That's good. I mean yeah, I mean you

31
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: got me. Yeah. I feel like though that to me,

32
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: that and coach Garrett said it once again guys taking

33
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: the opportunity to earn their right to be part of

34
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: the forty six. And I think, you know, talking to

35
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: some people about Tapper and practice and what he'd done,

36
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: they felt like that, hey, maybe he does deserve a shot.

37
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: And then here he is. You know, I said, when

38
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: does happen? He always getting reps with the one boom

39
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: next to you know, his foot gets stepped on, and

40
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: you know it's a it's just it's a break that

41
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, that he's worked really really hard to get

42
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: back and and you know you had hope for him

43
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: and the OTAs and the mini camps, and then you

44
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: get through the preseason and you see that edge ability.

45
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: I see what Mickey's talking about with him. Yeah, if

46
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: if no one wants to take that right in job,

47
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: let let him take that right in job. See what

48
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: you got right there. And he was within like five

49
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: to ten minutes of finishing that practice. Hurt that part,

50
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: it was almost it was the horrible. It was almost

51
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: over when he came limping off, and it is horrible.

52
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: Then after they checked it, they he left the locker

53
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: room in a big old boot and crutches, and it

54
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: brought back memories from about ten years ago when I

55
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: did the same thing. Yeah, it's such a small bone

56
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: and it's just it is. It's it's real thin, but

57
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: it's delicate. And how many have we seen here over

58
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: the last three years? Right, A lot of it though

59
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: going on when you have these linemen especially, and you know,

60
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: people getting their feet stepped on or the planting it

61
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: snaps or you know, there's what we had. We've had

62
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: Malik Collins, what was Lawrence Laurence Lawrence yeah, in the office, Lawrence,

63
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: before that in training camp, wasn't it Yeah on the

64
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: edge rush there and then there was someone else in

65
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: this past offseason did it early, did it a few

66
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: years ago. But it wasn't necessarily the metatarsal kind of

67
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: it's just and although when they do surgery and we'll

68
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: find out more on Friday when they finished the surgery.

69
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: That supposedly, when you do surgery on it, you have

70
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: a chance to get back sooner or at least that's

71
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: what they told me, instead of just letting the naturally

72
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: naturally healed. And I was told, if you were an athlete,

73
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: we'd do surgery and you'd be back in sixty eight weeks. Right,

74
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: you are an athlete, Ma, No, yourself. Well, let's put

75
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: it this way. My my living didn't depend on my foot. Yeah. Well,

76
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: if he's out a couple months, you know, technically he

77
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: could return. I would think they would place him on

78
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: injured reserve. Now they will, Yeah, they will, rob Yeah,

79
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: they will later this week. That I mean, it's always

80
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: we always wonder what they're gonna do with roster spots,

81
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: and then here you go, David Irving. They started to

82
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: take care of themselves. I know, we all get Twitter

83
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: questions about that, and three four weeks ago people were like, well,

84
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: how do you get David Irving? And you just kind

85
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: of say it does answer itself. Attrition is very tough

86
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: in this league, and it's tough on personnel guys to

87
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: keep up with it. You know, let's do the math

88
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: for they've played four games. Four games, so one week,

89
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: say it's eight one week week is the bye, right,

90
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: so you gotta go seven more weeks. So that's that's

91
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: that's eleven to twelve games. Yeah, so the last month

92
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: of this, it might, it might be you might and

93
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: you might need him in December, you might it might

94
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: be where all sudden attrition takes over again and you

95
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: know you have a body like is that you really

96
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: unproven as is, but that's what Or maybe somebody finally

97
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: wakes up at right defensive end and they say, okay,

98
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: you just stay on ir we'll come back again. Fight

99
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: another year. Yeah, poor guy, because you never know who

100
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: else you're gonna get hurt. Absolutely, you might have to

101
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: because you get to bring two back though, right right,

102
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: they changed it. You get to bring two guys. They

103
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: didn't change it. They did, and so you know, let's

104
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: talk about attrition. Obviously, the Cowboys have a lot of

105
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: guys that people have been keeping eyes on, but so

106
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: do the Packers. Will get to them after we get

107
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys one and unfortunately guys, a lot of

108
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: people were more full in practice, which gives hope. Nolan

109
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: Carroll being one of those guys at Woozier. You know,

110
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: then you look at Chads Green, he was full, and

111
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: of course Anthony Hitchens, who spoke yesterday in the locker

112
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: room about coming back. But then there were a few

113
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: names that were added to this that we have to

114
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: talk about. You know. Of course, Shaunley did not practice

115
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: yesterday with the hamstring. Stephen Pia is still out now,

116
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith, Ezekiel Elliott, Cavon Frasier, and a couple other guys.

117
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: Their names were added. Not to worry now Tyron Smith,

118
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: coach Garrett said, it's back tightness. Don't expect him to

119
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: practice at all today. Hopefully does more tomorrow Friday practice.

120
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: You know, Lyle Collins the ankle, he was still full,

121
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: but you know, just keep an eye on that. Zeke

122
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: got hit in the chest and during the game on

123
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: Sunday was still able to practice talk a lot in

124
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: the locker room. Gave you guys a lot of insight

125
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: into that. And then Cavon Frasier the name. He's kind

126
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: of been dealing with that in Chaz greenback. So where

127
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: do you want to start now? Where did you give

128
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: the outside to Pia Stephen Pia. I mean it's been

129
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: two weeks. He hasn't practice. We talked yesterday, didn't we Yeah,

130
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: we did. He's not very effective in the game now

131
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: he's still not practicing. That was my spot. That's why

132
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: that's why we were trying to play ahead of of

133
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: whose spot would you take? Maybe you could put him

134
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: on the injured reserve and you have David Irving coming

135
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: back and you need somebody there right so I think

136
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: that they might be time to rest him and not

137
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: do anything now with Nolan Carroll, yes, he got in

138
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: a practice, but they got to that concussion protocol. You know,

139
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: you're never really out of it. They keep checking you.

140
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: Right now. This is a it's a full practice yesterday. Now,

141
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: how does he feel today? How can he can he

142
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: get through? And I think that'll be significant to see

143
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: if he can play or not. It looks like a

144
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: Woozier should be ready to go. Yes, so that would

145
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: help them out that about that about and talk about

146
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: the all pro tacle who is not practicing Yes, Uh,

147
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: he was just covering his bases until he got the Yeah,

148
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith, Um, they're gonna give him a rest day

149
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: to day. Sure, I think they feel like he'll go.

150
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's pretty tough. He's played through this before. Right.

151
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: We saw that with him last year though, didn't we

152
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: Mickey where they gave him a Wednesday day like the

153
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: romany day that just one day a week. They just

154
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: felt a time to manage, you had to manage. I

155
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: when I saw him on the injury report yesterday, that's

156
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: the first thing I thought about, Okay, we're now a

157
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: month into the season, let's start with the rest days.

158
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: Who were going to get rest days to? You know

159
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: that that's the one that back. It's not easy to

160
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's him, it's pain tolerance, it's

161
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: all that he's got to. You know, he's he's play,

162
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: he'll play through it. But I think we're now going

163
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: to start seeing every Wednesday for sure that Tyrant Smith

164
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 1: is going to be on the injury report is a

165
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: back and I don't think he's going to practice those days.

166
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: We saw this in camp too. They gave him a

167
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: couple of days off, let it calm down a little bit,

168
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: and he was back on the field. You gotta point

169
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: out though, last season he missed two games with the back,

170
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: so it's something that has bothered him for years now technically,

171
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: and Chaz Green was the guy who stepped in at

172
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: left tackle last year, did a nice job. Byron Bell

173
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: is an option there as a swing tackle candidate too.

174
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: Would you rather eighty percent of Tyrant Smith or Byron

175
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: Bell at left tackle going against Matthews? Let me yeah.

176
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this though, if you would you

177
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: think about this? If if Chaz Green is a full

178
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: and we've seen Chads Green have some and say he

179
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: doesn't start at left guard, would you play? Would you

180
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: if you had to play Chaz Green? Would you feel

181
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: better about him playing as that left tackle instead of

182
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: Byron Bell Mickey? And then move at So the question is, yeah,

183
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get there. How do you feel about

184
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: Jonathan Cooper right? How do you feel about John? Feel

185
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: like Chaz at guard and Byron Bell left tackle is

186
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: better than then moving Chazz out there and exposing yourself

187
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: at the left guards. I mean, your left side is

188
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: already pretty much the way it is. But we have

189
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: seen better success with Chaz Green playing as the left

190
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: tackle in games, in games we have now he's done

191
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: okay as a guard. I don't think he's been terrible.

192
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: He's had his moments, but I don't think he's had

193
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: as many stressful moments as say, what we've seen with

194
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: Jonathan Cooper Man. I feel like this is another draft

195
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: you're going to see a lineman go in the first

196
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: round for the Dallas Cowboys. You know what, probably I

197
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: would will get second or third. Yeah, we'll get there.

198
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: But what I'm just saying, though, is that I think

199
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: this was something that they just relied on. They were

200
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: comfortable with knowing that their O line was good. You know, yes,

201
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: Tyren Smith has battled injuries, but for a majority, that

202
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: was kind of your your backburner. Ida. I just feel like, remember,

203
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: you can't have five first round picks on your offense.

204
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: I would like that, we would try. You would love it,

205
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: but what would you do with the corner in the

206
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: corner defensively? But to our point, yeah, so I said,

207
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: so that way, you didn't five but you didn't say that.

208
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: But no, I said you can't have five? Yeah, he

209
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: said draft one, okay, and then we'd have five in

210
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: my fantasy draft over here? But what about that? Who

211
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: do you feel better about? If you if Dallas had

212
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: to go into a game, Where do you feel better

213
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: about Jonathan Cooper playing left guard or or Bell Bell?

214
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: Bell's played in the league? I don't know. That's terrible

215
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: about it. Probably better than what Jonathan Cooper's play. I

216
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: think ideally you wouldn't want to have to change two

217
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: spots like they'd have to be doing in that situation

218
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks and have to move a

219
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: guy from one side. What do you think I think

220
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith plays? No, No, I do I do? But

221
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: if it comes if if yeah, I'm saying if we Okay,

222
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: Now we're in that situation where it's back. What if

223
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: we wake up over there our fine Omni hotel, wake

224
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: up in the morning and all of a sudden, it's like, whoa,

225
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: what just happened? You know, we're now starting to think

226
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: about that move all Collins over there. I don't know,

227
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: Rob you think that Chaz Green, even though he's full,

228
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna be full. It sounds like he's okay this week.

229
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: He's good. Yeah, it was just Situs, right, they can

230
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: treat that. You can wonder if that was at Aaron

231
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: donald injury sits play an donaldus again. Once again we're

232
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: talking about a key matchup though defensively Clay Matthews, Mod Brooks, Oh,

233
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: no doubt. That's the strength of the Packers front seven out.

234
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: Nice to have Tyrn Smith available, and I do agree

235
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: with these guys. I think you give him this day.

236
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: Odds are he should be able to go, but you

237
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: gotta keep keep on top of it. This week and

238
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: this was the same time of last year. I know

239
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: there's different team, different things, but he did get kind

240
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: of nicked up in the San Francisco game, actually didn't

241
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: play in the San Francisco game, right right, there's no

242
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith, no Dez no Romo knows you guys, Scandrick.

243
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: But then he was able to have that by wee

244
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 1: kind of come back. And then it was later in

245
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: the season that it flared up again. So you know,

246
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: hopefully he's a very tough guy. Yeah, there's no denying

247
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: that now. Shaun Lee of course didn't practice today. What

248
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: is everyone expecting for him to do today and tomorrow

249
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: and practice didn't sound like unlike anything today. What Jason

250
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: said was hopefully as the week goes on. So he

251
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: didn't say, oh, he's practicing today, so maybe something Friday

252
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: if he doesn't go today. He basically said, kind of

253
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: what we've been talking about on the show. You want

254
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: to give him every chance to play. He's a veteran.

255
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: There's no hard and fast rule of well, if he

256
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: doesn't practice Friday, he's he gives the heav hoo from

257
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: Brian necessarily, but you got to keep an eye on

258
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: that bye week, and you got to keep an eye

259
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: on that hamstring. And like I said yesterday, okay, you

260
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: pull it, reaggravate it, then you're really yeah on Thanksgiving type.

261
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm I'm real close to far in the hev ho.

262
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: I really am. I think it's less than fifty Yeah,

263
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: I do too. I think I felt like that it

264
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: was you know, it's it's improved. I can't get this out.

265
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: It's improved. Oh over the but you you have to

266
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: again think about the winning the battle or winning the war,

267
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: and the war is the season and you have to

268
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: get through that. And I think that I think the

269
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: head coach realizes that. He says, hey, you gotta look

270
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: with your eyes and you gotta tell what's going on there.

271
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: I think he trust his eyes that Anthony Hitchens is

272
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: going to help you in this football game. That's a

273
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: good I think he's looking at it and seeing his

274
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: eyes and saying, I don't think my all pro linebacker

275
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: is going to help me this week, But I got

276
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: to think about down the road. You know, this game,

277
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: having Hitchens on the field will help Jalen Smith a lot,

278
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: a lot, just because the fact that I think Anthony

279
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: Hitchins athletically and mentally can get into a lot of situation.

280
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: He could get to some balls that maybe that Justin

281
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: Durant couldn't get to. You know, he could get to

282
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: some tackles that Damian Wilson didn't get to. And that's

283
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: another position. You might want to keep an eye on

284
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: that linebacker spot. We talk about safety, yeah, but you

285
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: might want to keep an eye on that one. Will

286
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: do the coaches evaluate and say, okay against though the

287
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: word discipline. Todd Archer the question today and that's one

288
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: of my keys. The game for the Cowboy win will

289
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: be disciplined. Are you discipline enough to play the defense,

290
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: you know, not dropping coverage, not missing assignments, and Damian

291
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: Wilson had too many of those. So take him off

292
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: the field. Do you play Kyle Wilbur do you How

293
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: do you shuffle things around so you keep guys on

294
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: the field that have that experience. Now the problem you

295
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: can't do that at defensive back because you've cast a

296
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: lot of Hey, we're gonna go with these young kids,

297
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: and that's okay, but you know, try and limit some

298
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: of the other positions that you might have some questionable players.

299
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: I think if you're reading Jason on how he answered

300
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: the Lee thing right, it didn't. And even though he says,

301
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: well it's only sixteen games, I think having Hitchens available

302
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: minimizes APPS a little bit, the loss of lead. At

303
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: least you got him out there. Now. I want Lee

304
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: out there, and I want Hitchens out there. He said

305
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: this last week. Oh, we can do some things that

306
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: you need Sean Lee on the field. Yeah no, no, no, no, no, no,

307
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: that bad. But I don't want them. I don't want

308
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: them out there and then miss the rest of I agree,

309
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: I agree, so they won't say that. Yeah, I'll guarantee

310
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: you it's in the back of their minds. They're gonna

311
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: be other battles to fight. Yeah, and and hopefully you know,

312
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: Green Bay's got some situations they're missing, Like you said,

313
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna get Okay, I think we're gonnas. It would

314
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: be nice if you had someone also, which Hitchens could do,

315
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: if you trusted somebody else to play the week side,

316
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: to get Jalen Smith not playing sixty snaps right game right,

317
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: So maybe Hitchens and Durant at some point right in

318
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: the changeup because the Packers are going to go three wide, right,

319
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: no doubt, all the time, all the time, every play,

320
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: most every play, So you're gonna be in nickel or dime. Yeah,

321
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: especially if they don't want to run the football. Yeah, exactly.

322
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: So maybe when they go dime, you get Jalen Smith

323
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: out of there and put Hitchens in. That's fair assessment

324
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: right there, providing he's up. You know, it's we're sitting

325
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: here thinking, Okay, this is the guy we saw in

326
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: training camp and he hasn't played in seven weeks. Hitchens. Yes,

327
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: I trust he's a tough guy. I just I mean

328
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: I talked about him stepping up and coming. Yeah, I

329
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: just feel like that when you talk about smart athletic players, Yeah,

330
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: that know how to find their way to the football

331
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 1: and know about crossing routes behind him and stuff like.

332
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: I just feel like that maybe it's not as simple

333
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: as get riding a bike, but to a guy that's

334
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: a veteran player, I think he understands. Yeah. Man, it

335
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: was so interesting. You know, Mickey has his Legend Show

336
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: in Cowboys Club every Wednesday and evening six pm, seven pm,

337
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: seven pm Central Time. Of course it's great. And this

338
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: morning we started playing Breakfast of Champions. We had Drew Pierson.

339
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: He's been on Mickey's show a bunch, the Legend Show,

340
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: but today he was talking about it and I think, Brian,

341
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: maybe you asked a question or somebody did, and he

342
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: was talking about last week's game and he said that

343
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 1: what he saw mostly from Jalen Smith. Those guys you're

344
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: naming Damien Wilson all the indecision, Yeah, you know, because

345
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: I like discipline. But I think another word maybe confidence.

346
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: You know, do these guys have enough confidence in themselves

347
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: and in the personnel out there that they can take

348
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: on the Packers offense so soon the left guard that yeah,

349
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: Jaitlyn needs the experience. Yes, sure he saw things in

350
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: that game that you needn't do it in order dame. Yeah,

351
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones said it on the fan the other day.

352
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: He played I think he played sixty nine snaps defensively

353
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: against the ramp. He didn't take a snap off. And

354
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: this is a guy we talked about. Is he ready

355
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: to play when the season starts good to go? Yeah,

356
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 1: And so that's a lot on a rookie, much less

357
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: a guy who's been in his situation. And what Jerry

358
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: said was he reduce his snaps a little bit when

359
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: Hitchins comes back, Lee comes back and the quality of

360
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: the snaps goes up. Yeah, that's really for any rookie player.

361
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: You don't want to overexpose a guy at seventy snaps.

362
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: Is just that's a lot. It is a lot. And

363
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: we've got so much to talk about here on Talking Cowboys.

364
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: We haven't even got into the Packers injury report. Just

406
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: it's what's up top that matters. Sure, you need men

407

Speaker 1: with the muscle and heart to get her done. But

408
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: if your scouts and coaches are listening out there a

409
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,560

Speaker 1: we do love Tommy John. All Right, these Packers guys,

428
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: they are not free from the injury bug as well,

429
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: and they've got some big guys to watch if they

430
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: can make their return. When is their bye week? I'm

431
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: curious is it next week as well? Or is it

432
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: two weeks from now? Good question. Well, the reason I

433
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: ask is I can tell you. Yeah, the reason I

434
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: ask is because they have so many guys that are

435
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: kind of like could go fifty fifty type guys, and

436
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: it's like maybe they're in the same situation of the Cowboys,

437
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: or maybe yeah, yeah, or a couple October twenty ninths,

438
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: they're bike Oh so they have keep playing? Yeah, keep playing?

439
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: Three more right, two more after this one? Yeah. So

440
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: the positive here is that a lot of the Cowboys

441
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: were full, but on the other side, the Packers, a

442
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: lot of them were limited. So you have Davante Adams,

443
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: of course, who took that horrible hit from Danny Trevathian

444
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: last week. He was limited, Bakatari. I told you guys that,

445
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: you know, this was kind of his game, circled to

446
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: come back, still limited with the hamstring mod Brooks, who

447
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: robed just brought up with the back. He was limited,

448
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: Bloga their tackle ankle. Brian is giving you the old out.

449
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: I think, I think. I think David Baktari is in

450
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: and I think the other guy, blog the right tackle

451
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 1: is out. So both of them missed, both of them

452
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: miss Yeah, it was crazy what they were doing last

453
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: week with Office. Yeah. Now Mike Daniel's obviously a big

454
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: guy to watch up. Brian wrote about it. Yes, the

455
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: hip limited and I'm just gonna get through this and

456
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: then we're just going to dive in on this. Devon

457
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: House cornerback qua Qua quadricep. Sometimes words are hard time Montgomery,

458
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: I can't believe that he was limited with more than

459
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: one broken rib. Nick Perry, their linebacker, his hand, he

460
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: was limited. And now Quentin Rawlins cornerback and he was

461
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: completely full. And then Joe Thomas ankle did not practice,

462
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: and then Jamal Williams they're running back knee full participant.

463
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: The only full participants wore Quentin and Jamal. I think

464
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: limited is a very nebulous term for it is it

465
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: is because you can stretch it to Yeah, okay, what

466
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: did he do? Did he go out there? And stretch

467
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: with the team and go through individual right and then

468
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: that's it. You know, I don't think anybody really tells

469
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: the truth unlimited. You just cover yourself. You do, you

470
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: cover yourself. But I'm I think there's there's a lot

471
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: of key guys here. I all the two I could say,

472
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be okay at the left tackle

473
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: spot with Baktri David Bakti there and then but Bolaga

474
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: will be out. So keep an eye on Justin McCrae.

475
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: He's been the starter, or at least he started against

476
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 1: the Bears last week. Number sixty four had a little

477
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: bit of trouble out there on the edge. So keep

478
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: an eye on that one. And the other one too

479
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: to keep and ion is Mike Daniels. If Mike Daniels

480
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: doesn't play, that's a big loss. He's one of those

481
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: guys similar to how you know with what the Rams

482
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 1: were able to do with Aaron Donald. Guy it plays

483
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: the three technique. You know, he's had some really good

484
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: battles with Zack Martin. If things aren't stabilized at left

485
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: guard for the Cowboys, you know, we could see him

486
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: play over there. If he in fact, he's in the game,

487
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: so you know the teams will see that as the

488
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: weak link put their best guys over there. So do

489
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: you really expected Vante Adams in time Montgomery to be

490
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: playing in this game. I know they played their last

491
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: game was last Thursday against the Bears with ten days rest,

492
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: But I mean that would be I would be more

493
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: surprised of I would be more surprised if Adams than

494
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: I would the other one. You think Montgomery will play

495
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: with that, especially now that they've got Jamal Williams listed

496
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: as full You know what this The one thing that

497
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: that mctgomery has shown me is if you're a wide

498
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: receiver and they're making you a running back, you've got

499
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: some toughness. Now, this might be one of those things. Hey,

500
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: another week will help him to get more rest, especially

501
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: too much hit games left until they're exactly heal up

502
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: a little bit more. But I would I would think

503
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,239
Speaker 1: that I would think that maybe now he came out.

504
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: Initially it was kind of like I'm really not sure,

505
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, maybe somebody got to

506
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: him and said, whoa, whoa, don't do that. Be positive,

507
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: be positive about coming back so they don't get a gauge.

508
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: But he's a really tough guy. I mean, to do

509
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: what he did from Stanford to the Packers, go from

510
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: wide receiver to running back, I think that says a

511
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: lot about him. He's effective carrying the football. The numbers

512
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: don't always show it, but you know, he's one of

513
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: those guys that does give them a little bit of

514
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: a running game. And when Rogers isn't throwing it all

515
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: these place, he's their second leading receiver quietly too. Yeah,

516
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: eighteen catches. Davante Adams kind of became a go to

517
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: guy for Rogers last year. So he's a guy really

518
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on as well. Because you you

519
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: add him in a mix with Jordy Nelson and Randall

520
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,479
Speaker 1: Cobb and you talk about the Cowboys young secondary, that's

521
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: a tall task covering all those guys. Well, they've had

522
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: problems with him before. Yeah, remember the twenty fourteen playoff game, right,

523
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: he was the guy that really hurt him. Yeah. I

524
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: can't imagine that you could play running back with a

525
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: flak jacket on because he got to hold the ball. Yeah,

526
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: he's got to wear something. Sure, it's got multiple rib

527
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 1: fraction sure, and you know you can't really shoot it up.

528
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you can. I mean, didn't Romo

529
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: do something similar and then go out there and play.

530
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,239
Speaker 1: But you're the quarterback. You're hoping you're not getting hit

531
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: every time you touch the ball. Running backs hit every

532
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: time he touches the ball, unless he's going for a

533
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: touchdown every time. Yeah, I just guy's tough. I wouldn't

534
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 1: I wouldn't doubt him now. Like I said, the Adams

535
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: win is a little bit different because that was a

536
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 1: hospital deal and all that. I just and he's got

537
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: to be in the concussion protocol absolutely, So maybe he

538
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: goes out there, but how much did he do? Yeah

539
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: he should dark room effective? Will he be? You know

540
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: if if you're nervous about him out there, but yeah,

541
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: he passes the concussion protocol knock on Wood should be

542
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: worried about that number twelve. Oh, I'm very very worried

543
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: about discount double check going there, very worried. But I

544
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: also don't want him to be able to pass the

545
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: ball to all these They got a lot of weapons,

546
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: they sure do. I mean, you know last year they

547
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: were struggling with their running backs too, And Mickey just

548
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: told you Jamal Williams as a full participant. What does

549
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: he bring? You know, they've had this carouself running backs.

550
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: I mean, guys, I know you'll miss Eddie Lacy out

551
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: there will seem at Christmas. Ye see, Santa Clause will

552
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,479
Speaker 1: bring us Eddie Lacy. Yeah, he's another option for him.

553
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: But you know they really they really don't run the

554
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: ball that much. Rodgers really good, yeah, really good. And

555
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: montgomer only has forty six carries. Yeah, you take away

556
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: Rogers fourteen carries, which I'm sure a lot of those

557
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: weren't designed. They've got seventy rushes for the season, and

558
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have ninety eight minus dacks twelve, They've got

559
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: eighty six. They're just see, they rely on Aaron Rodgers

560
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: and they don't really worry so much about balance. Honestly, No,

561
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: they really don't. And you know, it's it's a team.

562
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: It's really the opposite of what Dallas is. They rely

563
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: so much on the quick passing game too. You know,

564
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: they'll throw a screen outside off of play action to

565
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: just to get four yards. If Rogers feels like you're

566
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: playing off coverage, he'll fire the ball to the outside.

567
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's a it's a clearly a pass

568
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: offense first, then run, you know with what they with

569
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: what they do. I mean, I'm sure Aaron Rodgers would

570
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: love to have a rushing attack, but he doesn't. But

571
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: he the way he plays, he sets he sets them

572
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: up as Okay, I'm gonna throw the ball to act

573
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: like that. It's a run with his short passing game.

574
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,479
Speaker 1: You think the Packers call in as fans and complain

575
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: about the balance. No, not with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback.

576
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think sixty toty six. Yeah,

577
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: they lost the game. You know what Zekett believe was

578
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty nine yards in the first game

579
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: last year. Lost that game, and then they turn around

580
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: and won the playoff game. He had one hundred and

581
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: twenty five. Actually he had one hundred. Well, maybe I

582
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: messed it. I thought I wrote it down and it

583
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: was thirty three for one ninety one. Yeah, I think that.

584
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: I think that to me. I looked at I looked

585
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: on the inn at the Jesus Site, and I think

586
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: I just it was one hundred. I thought it was

587
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty nine yards. Maybe it was the

588
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys total total. Yeah, that's the total. The total place.

589
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: But I thought I wrote it down the right way

590
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: as Dak went for eight eighteen twenty seven. Right, So

591
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: whatever they they they they feel like though that, you know,

592
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: the key for them is going to be can Dallas

593
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: maintain the ball? Can Dallas run the football? To me,

594
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: that's what if the Packers stop your running game and

595
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: force you into how they played against the Rams. It's

596
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: plays right into the Packers' hands. They thrive on that

597
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: being able to get pressure and then their secondary again,

598
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: there's another secondary that gives up plays. But going back

599
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: to their running game, just real quick, there's there's three

600
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: teams in the league that don't have a run of

601
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: twenty plus yards, and the Packers are one of them.

602
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: New England is a second one. Now you're talking about

603
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: two of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game.

604
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: You know, they don't have a rusher has a twenty

605
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: yard run, so they make up with it with other ways.

606
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: Their longest run actually is Aaron Rodgers, Yeah, thirteen yards.

607
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: Thirteen yards. I'm guessing that's a scramble abs potentially. Yeah yeah,

608
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: Oh you didn't think they called the readoption? I mean maybe,

609
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: but I doubt it. I don't know if you guys

610
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: play fantasy football, and I know it's you know, it's

611
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: a little bit funny sometimes, but this game is like

612
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: fantasy football owners nightmare for defenses. If you have the

613
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: Green Bay defense or the Cowboys defense, they're not projected

614
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: high points at all. Right, and it's because of the

615
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: fact that both offenses are so strong for these teams, right,

616
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: and well, hopefully the Cowboys one will be as strong

617
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: as people are projecting. But this defense that you're talking about,

618
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: the Green Bay one, are they really able to stop

619
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: the Cowboys run? Do they have the personnel and the

620
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: guys in place healthy enough to do that? Yeah, I

621
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: think it's going to come down to really about Kenny

622
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: Clark and Daniels and those guys. Even though they play

623
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: without Daniels, they've they've been pretty good. My benchmark is

624
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,239
Speaker 1: always those four plus runs. You know, they've been one

625
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: of Now, the cow Boys went into this game last

626
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: year at Lambeaux and this was the number one rush

627
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: defense in the league and they got shredded. You know,

628
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys with with really a similar personnel, you know,

629
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: no no Peppers, you know, Peppers is no longer there,

630
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: but you know, they the Cowboys have to feel like, hey,

631
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: we can run the football. If you line up the

632
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: same guys that you lined up against us last year,

633
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: you know, we'll find a way to make this work.

634
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: And so the Packers Dom Capers has to be worried that, okay,

635
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna smash us in the running game. They'll get

636
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: things going play action wise, you know, and then now

637
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: you've got they didn't do a very good job of

638
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: covering the Cowboys. We're seeing me. Cole Beasley was open

639
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: a lot watching the tape. Terrence Williams was open a lot.

640
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,719
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant had a huge day, you know. So they

641
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: have to be worried about though, if it comes to

642
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now Dallas does find balance and

643
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: you know they but that's the great equalizer again is Rogers.

644
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: You can drive the ball, drive the ball, drive their ball,

645
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden he makes it two.

646
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: It's a three play drive for a touchdown. You might

647
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: go twelve plays. He goes to plays. You know that

648
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: that's the that's the that's the that's the poison you

649
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: deal with right there. Yeah, see the thing that you know,

650
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: we're talking about the run and how the Cowboys will

651
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: have to get the Packers, you know, to not block

652
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: the run right, just keep it going. But on the

653
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: other side of this, the thing that I'm feeling good about,

654
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: and we touched on this yesterday. No Micah hide, no

655
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: shields out there. Yeah, maybe these receivers finally have a

656
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: big day. Maybe Cole Beasley, I mean he had a

657
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: great regular season game again to this team obviously different personnel,

658
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: but Dak was able to get him the ball, and

659
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: kind of they've got issues out. They've got issues guys,

660
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: they you know, with their secondary Yeah, and talking to

661
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: some folks up there though they're not really sure who

662
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: all they're going to start. And you mentioned about Quentin Rawlings.

663
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: You know, he plays as the nickel. He's been burned

664
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,239
Speaker 1: quite a bit. House you know, has been nicked up

665
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: as well. They play Morgan Burnett as one of the

666
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: safeties in the slot. I mean they're looking for people

667
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: to try and cover. They're sitting around pick Kevin king

668
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: Is that Kevin kingo playing time and it's against top receivers.

669
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: There you go a lot of AJ Green a couple

670
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Yeah, he's gonna he might travel with Dezins,

671
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: he might travel with Dez in this game, so you know,

672
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: you gotta be but they do have some issues. Dallas

673
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: has just got to find a way to have balanced

674
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: like they did in the first half of that Rams game.

675
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: You know, they got to keep that together and just

676
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: stay on this because you just can't allow Rogers to

677
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: just have you know, you can't punt three times. You

678
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: just can't do that. You've got to find a way

679
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: to finish drives. You gotta run the football, and you

680
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: got to make some plays on the outside yourself. You

681
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: can't let the Packers receivers make all the plays. You

682
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: have to make plays as well. Zeke was twenty eight

683
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 1: for one fifty seven. There you go. And if we

684
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: remember des didn't play in that game. No, that's the

685
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: game at Lambeau, right, Yeah, So Terrence Williams had four

686
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: catches for seventy five and Beasley had six and went

687
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: and had four. So they've figured out somehow some way

688
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: to put up enough offense to be able to beat

689
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: him up there. But they were efficient turnovers too. You

690
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: got some turnovers from Rogers. You got you got an

691
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: you get an interception, and then you got to fumble

692
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: on the goal line. Basically David Urban. That's nice. Yeah,

693
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: busting through there. You gotta take advantage of when they

694
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: do make a mistake. They're not gonna make many. He's

695
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: not gonna make many mistakes, but you got to take

696
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: advantage of that when he does. We were doing stats

697
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: yesterday on Cover four, and did you know that in

698
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers' career, he has thrown one hundred and one

699
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: less interceptions than Eli Manning's career. Yeah, that's incredible, that's incredible.

700
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: And Eli's played a little longer in the league, but

701
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: just to buy a couple of years, Yeah, only by

702
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: a couple of years. How many Eli Eli was four?

703
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: Rogers became the starter eight. Does that show how good

704
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: Rogers is or how bad he? Oh? Way to go, kid,

705
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: there you go. Ki't with the fire with a fire.

706
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: But I'm asking. All I'm saying is you're right, Brian,

707
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: when they do get those opportunities in Tyrone Crawford, there's

708
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: a ball right between your legs. Yeah, you know, I

709
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: get he was looking around, Yeah, trying to benefit of

710
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: the doubt. He was looking and unfortunately it just didn't

711
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: go their way on that one. Wasn't just takeaways in

712
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: that game. They just did a good job of covering

713
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: receivers on Rogers in the in the Lamba game, and

714
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: they played a lot of three man rush and just

715
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: covered well, put a committed extra guys in the secondary

716
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: and just forced Rodgers to stay in the pocket and

717
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: make throws and he wasn't accurate, and normally you count

718
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: on Aaron Rodgers being accurate. Yeah, that was the key.

719
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: They did a really nice job defensively in that game

720
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 1: well too. You know it was thirty one forty two

721
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: for two hundred and ninety four yards and that's the

722
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: Lamba game, right, Yeah, And you know who heard him

723
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: was Montgomery. Montgomery as they were using them out of

724
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: the backfield receivers passes right, clogging cover. But also too

725
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: though in the playoff game, Cook, who's no longer there,

726
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: the tight end was a big factor in that game.

727
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 1: So now it's Marty B's turn. Yeah, Marty B. You

728
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: never know, I mean, I just he does such a

729
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: great job of spreading the ball around. But Dallas has

730
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: got to do what they have to do on offense

731
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: to win this football game. They really really do. They

732
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 1: If they're relying on their defense, that's probably the wrong

733
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: approach offense has got to help you in this game.

734
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: But I used the word discipline take I really do.

735
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 1: On defense. You cannot allow them twelve men on the field,

736
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: free plays, you can't allow shots down the field. You can't.

737
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: You have to cover guys, stay with your men, run

738
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,760
Speaker 1: with your guy, finish the play, play through the whistle.

739
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: That's what they need to do. Yeah, and you know,

740
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: we're talking about a lot of guys that everyone's very

741
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: familiar with, the Zekes, the Deys, the Wittons, that Cole's defense.

742
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: You got to Mark Lawrence, everybody. But I want to

743
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 1: ask you guys a couple of names, and they're they're

744
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: both fullbacks, Rod Smith and Keith Smith. What have they

745
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: been able to do? I know rod Smith has been

746
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: more involved, but Keith Smith was a guy last year

747
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: they used a lot to kind of do these types

748
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,479
Speaker 1: of things, dirty works up the dirty yards that help there.

749
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: Have they been doing that through the first four games. Yeah,

750
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: they've used I think kids Smith played last week more

751
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: and he just haven't. No, they haven't gained haven't used

752
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 1: the fullback. Yeah, well they're using more too tight end. Yeah,

753
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: and the twelve personnel group has been a little bit

754
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: of a struggle for them. You know, they've gone to

755
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: some thirteen personnel had a little bit better success with that.

756
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, with Keith, they just haven't been able to

757
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: consistently get him going, and they tried last week a

758
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: little bit. I always worry about, you know, a fullback

759
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: getting in the way of Ezekiel La because he's such

760
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: a great one back runner when he sees cuts and

761
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: things like that. You don't want Ezekiel to hesitate. You

762
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: want him on the goal line. Yeah, I'm sure they

763
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: sure did, They sure, And that's what they're gonna do.

764
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: They're gonna you know, the third and ones, the fourth

765
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: and ones. You're gonna see Keith Smith in the game

766
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: doing that kind of stuff. But overall though, you know,

767
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,919
Speaker 1: it's they just haven't got that traction that we talk about. Man. Well,

00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: I was doing the Madden thing. Yeah, if you put

811
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: all that stuff together and you pile it up and

812
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: then you cook it, it'll be really good. Thanks John Madden.

813
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: Now is it didn't heat his guys? His football life

814
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 1: just aired? Was it? It was? It was last Friday?

815
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: Friday's Friday. Yeah. The one this week is on Wes Welker,

816
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:13,720
Speaker 1: a good old Texas Tech alum. Yep, so, Wes Welker.

817
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: They're going to look into him. And of course he

818
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: changed the game for slot receivers. He did. Cole Beasley

819
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: and him held it down for a little bit. Now

820
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: you got Danny, him and Dola and a lot of them.

821
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 1: Ryan Switzer might be in that mix one day too. Well.

822
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: Have you guys been getting a lot of questions about

823
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: Ryan Switzer? Yes, Twitter accounts, have you about when they

824
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: might use him, when they might or people more so

825
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: earlier in the season. I don't know if maybe the

826
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: muff punt upsets some fans a little bit, not so

827
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: much worried about the offense, but they're seeing week to

828
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: week they're trying to get him integrated a little more.

829
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: Those jet sweep some of the stuff Lucky did. It's

830
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: just hard to get him on the field as a

831
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: true wide out. You know, Yeah, who do you take

832
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,760
Speaker 1: off of the field? And we got to use Beasley

833
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: and him in the slot. At the same time, take

834
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: he got to take Witten off. Yeah, that ain't happening.

835
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 1: You're not taking Winting off the field. And you're talking

836
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: about tight ends, and we sort of got into Martellis

837
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: Bennett making his grand return back to Dallas. Obviously, he

838
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: had a very interesting article he wrote last year with

839
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: his brother and talked about his time here at Dallas.

840
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: We don't have to get into all of that. But

841
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: Byron Jones, you know, we've talked about him and what

842
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: he's been able to do in the tasks he's had

843
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: being in the secondary and helping being matched with Heath

844
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,959
Speaker 1: and Right the guys they lost in free agency. Could

845
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: he have a breakout game against Martellis Bennett. Well, yeah,

846
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: I mean I think that's one of Byron's best strengths

847
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,280
Speaker 1: is being able to say, line up against the opposing

848
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: tight end and cover that guy and from a safety spot,

849
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: that's impressive. Not many safeties can do that in the league.

850
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: You know, Martellis is the guy they're trying to get

851
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,839
Speaker 1: going a little bit. He s got some drops too.

852
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: He had some drops. Yeah, early in the season, right

853
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: had I think he had six catches though against the

854
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 1: Bears a few days ago. Sure, so, And I saw

855
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: a quote that Rogers said they need to get him

856
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: involved to try to get his confidence going a little right,

857
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: So maybe that's engaged. Okay, Mickey has some personal bias

858
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: with him. Oh, I'm just that's always been his problem.

859
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: He doesn't stay engaged. So if you get him engaged,

860
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: then yeah, he'll he'll roll. I just it's like feeding

861
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: a guy in basketball, right, you get him going early

862
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: and then the guy all right, I got some rhythm

863
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: here to your point. I mean, and Brian just said it.

864
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 1: He's a deceptively it's a really athletic, big target six seven,

865
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 1: whatever he is. He could be a guy, especially down

866
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: in the red zone. And they've been successful in the

867
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: red zone, the best in the league without him even

868
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: getting a touchdown passed so far. I make teams now

869
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: as he played for four this is the fourth, yes,

870
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: super Bowl four? Yeah, Dallas, New England, Giants, Chicago. This

871
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: is his fifth one. Right, I forgot about New England. Yeah,

872
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: he got a Super Bowl right, aways got the winning

873
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: touchdown in the Super Bowl. He was on the postgame

874
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: show and it was very you know, vocal about how

875
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: he felt about free agency and where he thought he belonged,

876
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,919
Speaker 1: and now he's with obviously a great quarterback in Aaron

877
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: Rodgers played He's played with some great ones if you

878
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: think about his career. Yeah, I'm just saying, you know,

879
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: I'm looking at kind of the safety play in this game,

880
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 1: and you know what they're gonna do with the secondary,

881
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,919
Speaker 1: and Barry Church was able to have a great game

882
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: against this Packers' offense. Different guys, I get it. But

883
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,439
Speaker 1: Byron Jones, where can he really have? Like, hey, guys,

884
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm a good, big time player on this defense game, Well,

885
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: what would you rather have Byron Jones and the slot

886
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: covering the tight end or Byron Jones playing deep safety

887
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:42,439
Speaker 1: and maybe have a Woozier in the slot covering him. Yeah,

888
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: I mean they've got they've got options. They've got some

889
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: options now. And he also got a factor in. You know,

890
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 1: Cavon Frasier was listed as limited right, and he didn't

891
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: exactly excel last week either. I didn't think right, So

892
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: I bad figure out where you want to be, you

893
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: know where you feel better. You want Byron Jones close

894
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage and leave Heath and Frasier deep.

895
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: I think about Cheeto though in the back. You know

896
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: he's a physical guy. Obviously, I'm not taking anything now,

897
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: I don't mean it, Yeah, I don't mean in the back.

898
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 1: I mean in the slot. Yeah, I'm just saying if

899
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: you move him around a little bit. I like what

900
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: you're saying with options, I think, I think would you

901
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 1: be comfortable with would you be comfortable with Xavier Woods

902
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: playing deep and then putting Byron Jones down? Do you

903
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: feel like you have a little bit more rap being

904
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: I feel better about it a little bit. Ben Frasier, Right, yeah,

905
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: because that's what they tried last last week. Right Frasier.

906
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: To me, Frasier has become a liability and coverage and

907
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 1: that's that's a shame. Now Frasier, you know, his his

908
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 1: calling card is to go and hit and be that guy,

909
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: be a downhill player. But he missed a tackle you

910
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: know in the uh at the you know in that

911
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: stumbled and then on the sixty six yard run. I

912
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 1: mean he's the first guy down, and you know you

913
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: can't have that happened. He missed several tackles in space

914
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: coverage on the fifty three coverage coverage. Yeah, so you

915
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 1: know they have to think about. Now, Okay, what's the

916
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: best plan of attack here? Is it putting Xavier Woods

917
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 1: on the field? I mean, you know, do you? How

918
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: much do you? Maybe this is where a Woozier. Maybe

919
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: this is where we see a Woozier. Maybe take some

920
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: snaps as what Mickey was talking about that dime player

921
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: in slot, but maybe even some safety stuff. You know,

922
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: if you if you're worried about Cavon Frasier, if you're

923
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 1: worried about Jeff Heath, if you're worried about those guys,

924
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: maybe it's okay, who who are best cover guys? Who

925
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: the guys that we can count on? I know you

926
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: you know, Wooziers a rookie, but you might be able

927
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: to count on him and coverage more than you will

928
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: Jeff Heath or or Cavon Frasier. Questions here? Now, another

929
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: good question came from Rob's pole yesterday. Yeah, we're talking

930
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: about matchups on both sides. What's the toughest matchup for

931
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys? Who they really need a key on to

932
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: win this game? And I've got two options on offense,

933
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: two options on defense. Randall Cobb Haha, Clinton Dix, Clay

934
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: Matthews Jordy Nelson. I got thoughts. I'll take Jordy Nelson

935
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: and it was the worried about, right, Yeah, the was

936
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,919
Speaker 1: concerned about entering Week five. Hey, did Jordy Nelson play

937
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys in that regular season game? Yes? He did.

938
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: He had a drop, I want to say, or he

939
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: had a fumble. Didn't in that game? Where was that

940
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 1: they had a he had a fumble in that game?

941
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: Or was that the playoff game? He had a fumble

942
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:29,479
Speaker 1: he caught the ball in the middle of the field.

943
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,359
Speaker 1: He had the ribs in the playoffs, right, Yeah, yeah, Okay,

944
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 1: that's what I was thinking. I was like, there an

945
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: there was a game where he was he got hurt

946
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: against the Giants the week before. Yeah, I don't think

947
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: he played my Montgomery broken ribs style. In the regular

948
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 1: season game, he caught five passes for sixty eight yards. Yeah,

949
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: that had a drop. Where I think that I want

950
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: to say that that he got hit and by who

951
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: am I thinking of a forty two very very Church

952
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: hit him? Yeah, he little physical. Yeah, Barry hit him

953
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: and he fumbled the ball and Dallas got the ball.

954
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: But I think I would be more worried about I

955
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: think I'd be more worried about. You didn't have Cob

956
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: on there? Did you did? Am I not listening today?

957
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: You had Cob right, cop is my guy. I'm sorry

958
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: about that. Rob deep threat guy. Yeah, just all over

959
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: the field, backfield, quick screen, slant down the field. I

960
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: worry more about I worry more about his versatility in

961
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 1: this game because now you're gonna have to try and

962
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: find a way to match him plays in the slot.

963
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 1: You could play a lot of different levels with him.

964
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: So my apologies, I didn't I would know your attention,

965
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: but I didn't remember. I worry about Clay Matthews just

966
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,959
Speaker 1: because if something happens with Smith, especially that and he's

967
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: not back, he's not either play a three four, but

968
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: he's not really a cover linebacker. He's more back to

969
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 1: being a rush guy, and he can really impact the

970
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: game that way. You guys, said Jordy Nelson, that was

971
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: the leader in the clubhouse. Ye se, he leads this

972
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: team with five touchdown catches, had a big fifty eight

973
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: yard catch the other the other day against the Bears,

974
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: a touchdown for for Aaron Rodgers. You me and the

975
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,280
Speaker 1: fans we think alike. You do always do you think Nelson,

976
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,439
Speaker 1: I said, Nelson. Yeah, well, let's hear more from the fans.

977
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 1: We do have a caller on the line, Lloyd from Virginia.

978
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 1: What is your question? Hello, guys, A long time fan,

979
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: long time listener. And to prove it, I need to

980
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: throw Mickey a couple of targets. Mickey. I just got

981
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 1: off my John Deer, took a shower, put on my

982
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 1: Tommy Johns waiting for some Papa John's and now as

983
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: tom for we're talking cowboys. Oh there's guys after our

984
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: own heart. Yeah you like that? Well yeah, keep it

985
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 1: to the sponsorship. Well, thank you, brother. Been a fans

986
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 1: in sixty three when Mickey's uh Bears beat my Giant

987
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,800
Speaker 1: and a couple of points there just for our team

988
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: special teams. I grew up with the guy who holds

989
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboy record for longest punt return. Jeff tell Switzer

990
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: he won't get it. It's ninety eight yards, catch the

991
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: ball and then run on d defense brought us. You

992
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 1: scouted these guys out. You know they're gonna be good.

993
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,399
Speaker 1: It just takes some time. By game nine, you're gonna

994
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 1: be talking about how good they are and how smart

995
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: you are. I hope so and on offense, let's stop

996
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: this three yards in a cloud of dust stuff. We

997
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 1: can run to the outside. Zeke, they're more athletic. I've

998
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:21,439
Speaker 1: heard Nate say, they're not mallers, they're athletic guys. Let's

999
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: run to the outside and break that line up. Go Cowboys.

1000
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: I love it. Lloyd is excited. He gets me fired up. Hey,

1001
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: he's talking about special teams. We got into Ryan Switzer. Yeah,

1002
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: I get that. You know, he's got to learn that.

1003
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 1: But coach Garrett did a great job of addressing that

1004
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 1: yesterday and he said he's going to learn. Yeather he

1005
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 1: likes it or not, he's going to learn. And of

1006
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 1: course he even admitted that he had been a little

1007
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,360
Speaker 1: too aggressive with some of those punt returns in the

1008
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: first few games, but he will learn it now. Game nine,

1009
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: getting that rookie defense just jelling ready to go. I'd

1010
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: love to see that. And offense, Zeke and Kent does

1011
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,239
Speaker 1: have a few clips. Let's I want to hear the

1012
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: one of Zeke talking about how he thinks they can

1013
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:05,839
Speaker 1: be more efficient on first and second downs. Stand by,

1014
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: I'll pull that up to thank you, sir. So we'll

1015
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 1: get to that. But Zeke was Zeke was pretty uh

1016
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 1: open in the locker room. I was looking for the

1017
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: right word to talk about it, because he basically came

1018
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: out and said it. There's no panic here, right. Yeah.

1019
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: And those guys, I'm not gonna speak for all of them,

1020
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 1: say they're sick of hearing about it, but I think

1021
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: they're sick. Yeah. The offense, I mean, look, Mickey said it.

1022
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 1: They put up thirty points in the game. I think

1023
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 1: they did a lot of things well offensively against a

1024
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: pretty good Rams defense. They just weren't consistent. I think

1025
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 1: they feel like they're they're gaining traction though, and this

1026
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 1: might be the game where they kind of pulled it

1027
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: all together. We'll see. Um. But Zeke's been pointing to

1028
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 1: the first and second down. He's been saying that for

1029
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks now. They've got to be better

1030
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: on first and second down, give themselves a chance on

1031
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 1: third days. Just go ahead, Kent. We're taking a little

1032
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: bit longer such a progress this year, and I really

1033
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 1: don't think that's a bad thing. You know, you'd rather

1034
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: be hitting your stride, you know, mid to late season,

1035
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 1: then you know, peaking earlier and you know, not going

1036
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So as long as you

1037
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: hit your peak, it really doesn't matter how long it

1038
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,359
Speaker 1: takes you. Uh. You know, you could lose six games

1039
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: in this league and still go to the playoffs. As

1040
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 1: long as you have this stright at the right time,

1041
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: then then you're good. So I mean, but there's no

1042
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 1: penning in this locker room at all. Well, there you go. See,

1043
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: I think he makes a good point. He does. Did

1044
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 1: I mean, did anybody think that this was a finished

1045
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: product at the beginning of the season, like the Cowboys

1046
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:36,399
Speaker 1: were thirteen and three and boy, here we go again. Yeah,

1047
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people thought that. I'm no,

1048
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 1: I'm talking about us. No, But because I thought this

1049
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 1: would be a team that would get better because they

1050
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: had so many new parts and young guys trying to

1051
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 1: get in there, and maybe you improve if the season

1052
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 1: goes along. I just didn't think they were finished product.

1053
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 1: Where I where I made the argument was that when

1054
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: people wanted to talk about Dak and the sophomore slump,

1055
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: my point was, well, he can't have a sophomore slump

1056
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 1: because of Dez Bryant, Cole Beasley, Jack Martin, Travis, Frederick Ezekiel,

1057
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: Elliott Scott Linahan, the people around him. Yeah, he was

1058
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: not going to have a sophomore slump because of the

1059
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:17,359
Speaker 1: people around him. And so I'm looking bad right now

1060
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:21,359
Speaker 1: because maybe the people around him are letting or letting

1061
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: this team down right now. And I don't mean that

1062
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 1: in a way of I'm just trying to point out

1063
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,800
Speaker 1: where I saw it the wrong way that, you know,

1064
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 1: I felt like that, Hey, don't put it all on Dak.

1065
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 1: That's fine, I mean, don't do that, but think about

1066
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 1: the reason why he had success with the guys around him.

1067
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 1: And we've had some questions about the guys around him.

1068
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 1: So the finished product question, I don't or the finished

1069
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,839
Speaker 1: product answer. You know, maybe I didn't think that way,

1070
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 1: but I've surely felt like that offensively they were better

1071
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: than what they were defensively. I don't have as many

1072
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: questions Defensively. I'm glad they're playing the young players, but

1073
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: I have a little bit paul Is about what's going

1074
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 1: on on offense. Keep shaking you. I just disagree with Mickey.

1075
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: Maybe none of us on our on this show felt

1076
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: that way. I thought they'd be better running the ball

1077
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: offensively than they have been, even having two guys play

1078
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 1: positions they'd never played in the NFL. Yeah, because you're

1079
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 1: talking about the offensive line, because how many teams have

1080
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: three All pros in their office? Yeah? But here, did

1081
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 1: you hear Frederick yesterday? I hear that. But I'm just

1082
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 1: saying I think that can raise the level of play

1083
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 1: for the other that's not helping them out. Well. I

1084
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 1: think Brian makes a good point too, like they're paying

1085
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 1: they're playing excellent fronts. Yeah, and that has that has

1086
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:35,840
Speaker 1: to be taken to account. But I do think I

1087
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 1: expected this offense to be a little, I would say

1088
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 1: finished product by this point based on what they did

1089
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 1: last year. They've got a philosophy, they have most of

1090
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: the pieces back and just keep it going. But I

1091
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 1: think you do have to give credit to the quality

1092
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: of players that they've been playing. And I do think

1093
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 1: it's going to get better. Yeah, well that was my point.

1094
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: It'll get better, but it's not a finished product to

1095
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 1: start Leale Collins hadn't played right tackleson LSU. Yeah, see

1096
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: we were he was left tackle. I was thinking that

1097
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 1: has Green never played guard? Everybody else's back. Yeah, but

1098
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 1: see what did Fredericks say yesterday? You miss one block?

1099
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: Oh no, the whole offensive. That's bad. That is true. Yeah,

1100
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 1: that is true. No, and that's we always talk about

1101
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 1: evaluate offensive lineman on sixty five plays, not on one play.

1102
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,800
Speaker 1: So but if you have where you have multiple plays

1103
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: where you have guys like to say, the left guard

1104
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 1: was not very good the other day, you know, consistently

1105
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:32,720
Speaker 1: wasn't very good. So you're gonna have problems moving to football.

1106
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:36,720
Speaker 1: But I bought into I bought into the teammate factor

1107
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 1: on offense. Yeah, I really really bought in it. And

1108
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 1: I still think that's fairer because these guys are still

1109
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: good players and they've played together. I mean, it's just

1110
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 1: Zeke averaging three yard point six per carry. I just

1111
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,399
Speaker 1: can't see that continuing. Well, take out, it's gonna get better.

1112
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: Take out the second game, and what's the averaging because

1113
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: the average out the window. When you get nine carries

1114
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:02,399
Speaker 1: for eight yards, that just skews the whole thing. Like, oh,

1115
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: he's all three four games, he's been bad. Ye been

1116
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 1: bad for four games. You know, I didn't say he

1117
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:12,440
Speaker 1: did happen out run that happened? Well, I know, I

1118
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: am at it. I am surprised they didn't run the

1119
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,879
Speaker 1: ball effectively in the second half of that game last

1120
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 1: week against the Ring. But I understand the competition. I'm

1121
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: the one that talking about that, and I get what

1122
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald is and Michael Brockers and those guys. I

1123
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: get what that is. But that surprised me in the

1124
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 1: second half. I was sitting in I was sitting in

1125
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 1: the studio at halftime, thinking, Okay, just keep doing what

1126
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: you're doing. Yeah, just what's your adjustment second half? Ryan,

1127
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: Keep doing what you're doing, Keep keep running the ball.

1128
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 1: If Ezekiel Elliott found a way to have I mean,

1129
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:44,800
Speaker 1: we had sixty something yards and get one hundred and

1130
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 1: twenty yards by half and had one hundred and thirty

1131
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 1: three in the Yeah, you forgot about the brilliance of

1132
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:53,240
Speaker 1: Wade Phillips. That that was, That was that was talked about,

1133
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: That was talked about. But I just to me that

1134
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 1: that part of it was a little surprising and and

1135
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 1: and may that's on me for feeling like that, Hey, no,

1136
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:06,359
Speaker 1: this team and maybe I thought they were finished product Mickey,

1137
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,880
Speaker 1: because of I thought of a Hall of Fame tied end.

1138
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 1: The quality at wide receiver, the quality of the slot,

1139
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 1: the quality of the running back, the quality of the quarterback,

1140
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 1: the quality of the offensive line even though it was

1141
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 1: missing two parts, and it's all still quality. Like so

1142
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 1: you're not wrong there and thinking that way. You know,

1143
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: I think the opponents have had something to do with this,

1144
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: of course, but it's it gives me a little concern

1145
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: that they did not in the second half finished the

1146
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: game like they started. The start was brilliant at that

1147
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 1: football game. At fifteen play, eighty one yard drive, they

1148
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 1: it was like, okay, that's that's the twenty six and

1149
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 1: they like it. Let's see more of that. And they

1150
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: had the fumble, the muff punt that Mickey's right, that

1151
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 1: killed any time. That could have been just the nail

1152
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 1: right there. If they would have got the ball and

1153
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now you're driving seventy yards thirteen play,

1154
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: you could have taken their will to compete right there.

1155
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 1: But you know, a sudden, they get a short touchdown.

1156
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: The three touchdowns, three point the points they scored, we're

1157
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 1: all off short field drives, you know, and that's some

1158
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: self inflicted stuff. Thirteen points. Yeah. And by the way,

1159
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 1: Nelson did not play in that playoff game. Yeah, okay,

1160
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 1: so that's where he got whacked in the back at

1161
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 1: the Giants game and they and he sat out. That's right,

1162
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 1: so broken Ribs didn't let him play. Maybe it will

1163
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:25,439
Speaker 1: be Oh forebore a little foreshadowing here, And of course

1164
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys will have their second practice report out today and

1165
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 1: we will talk about it when we come back for

1166
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 1: our Friday show of Talking Cowboys. We'll get into who

1167
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: we think will be inactive. They might answer this question

1168
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: for us. Yeah, we gotta remember to pick our player.

1169
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 1: I don't think we did it. Like to keep picking Lawrence.

1170
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 1: So Lawrence, how did you get a chance to do?

1171
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 1: Say it right now? You can't do that. I can't

1172
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 1: do it, guys, guys, So we'll have some random for

1173
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:54,160
