7
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: the desk here, Kelsey, it's been a minute. Yeah, we've

8
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: done a show together, so it's good to see you.

9
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: It wasn't great to necessarily see DeMarcus Lawrence today talking

10
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: about an issue that he's now dealing with with both

11
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: feet and also a right knee. All right, so he

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: thinks there could be a fracture where he had his

13
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: foot surgery. He says he plans to plan on Sunday,

14
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: but I don't know. He says his right knee hurts

15
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: worse than his beat. He's dealing with so much right now,

16
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: just trying to stay focused on the task at hand.

17
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: And when I saw them walking away from the media,

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: scrum is what we call it when you're doing the interview,

19
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: I said, so, but you're good to play. It goes

20
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: something along the lines of I think which felt a

21
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: little bit like Ezekiel Elliott last week. So, ladies, we've

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: been talking all week about the importance of this team

23
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: shoring up their defense, particularly against the weapons, which Jess

24
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: will get into here in a little bit. In their

25
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: passing game. What they're hanging their hat on right now

26
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,639
Speaker 1: is their pass rush is top four in the league.

27
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: You don't have your defensive in there in DeMarcus Lawrence.

28
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: That affects obviously your pass rush, but it also affects

29
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: you trying to get the pressure up front on the

30
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: run game and sort of freeing up some of the

31
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: guys in the back. Are you at all concerned with

32
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: this DeMarcus Lawrence injury that's popped up. I'm concerned if

33
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: he can't go because Tank is not only he's definitely

34
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: one of the best edge rush like Edge was in

35
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: the game, but he's as a d N he's fantastic

36
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: against the run and for the Cowboys he's number one

37
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: and like I think, pressures and also too again and

38
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: stops in the run. So he's one of the guys

39
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: that can really disengage and make a difference in the

40
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: run game. So if he can't go, that is a

41
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: significant loss to your your defense and what they do.

42
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: I don't know who feels there maybe a Basham, yeah

43
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: they maybe he can give you more in the run

44
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: game defensively, But I think it is important to keep

45
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: an eye on Tank and what he has going on

46
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: because to me that he's the best run defender you have. Yeah,

47
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm with you. I feel like this is

48
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: a big loss a defense that has really been predicated

49
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: on having a lot of their key guys. It's been

50
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why this team is won games.

51
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: And you just mentioned that they're already struggling in the

52
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: run game. Everyone's scratching their head. I've been watching your reports.

53
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: We can't figure out why, Like on paper, it doesn't

54
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: make sense, right, And so losing any semblance of dynamic

55
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,399
Speaker 1: asset in defending the run is going to be significant

56
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: for this Cowboys team. So yeah, I'm really concerned. And

57
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: it just feels like they're coming off of a tough loss.

58
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: To lose a guy like a Tank would just be

59
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: like it's one of those things where it's like this

60
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: is the last thing we need, like we just we

61
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: need to have everyone at their best really just bounce back.

62
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: And so yeah, like it worries me for sure. And

63
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: the thing with somebody like Tank is you lose that

64
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: veteran presence as well, which is not something you can

65
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 1: get with just anybody in that locker room, whether they're

66
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: playing well or not. And to that point too, Kells's yeah,

67
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: he's great for the run defense that obviously we can

68
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: talk hours and hours about needs fixing. But he's also

69
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: great for the pressure on the pocket. And we saw

70
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: last week that, Hey, Kirk Cousins, he likes to throw

71
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: some interceptions very quickly when there's pressure around him and

72
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: not necessarily coming towards him and rushing on the edge,

73
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: but if that pocket starts to collapse, he panics a

74
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: little bit. So this is very concerning obviously for this

75
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,839
Speaker 1: game ahead. But like we talked about yesterday, Jane, look

76
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: at the schedule that the Cowboys have coming up. This

77
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: is the arguably the second half of the schedule is

78
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: the hardest part of the Cowboys schedule, especially with that

79
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: Green Bay loss now in the book. So, yeah, it

80
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: worries me. Were you concerned at all, like how open

81
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: he was about how much he was feeling it, because

82
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: I feel like the at this point in the season

83
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: everyone's kind of banged up, right, And that's what they

84
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: will typically tell you. And so that's why I'm wondering

85
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: why he's doing that. Yes, it's almost like he's prepping

86
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: you that if he does play, don't count this against me. Right.

87
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: It was that was what's because to your point, Kelsey,

88
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: when you interview these guys a lot about their injuries,

89
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: like I think a Maury Cooper in the past, Ezekiel Elliott,

90
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: they're like, typically, like this point the season you're dealing with,

91
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons is all being dub but he just really

92
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: wanted to make it clear how many injuries he was

93
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: dealing with, and it was I'm gonna be careful when

94
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: I say this, but it's like, if guys are taking

95
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: heat this week and being held accountable for not making

96
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: sticking to their assignments, I'm wondering what he called out

97
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, and maybe it's like you're sort of

98
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: like over not an excuse, but are you cushing it?

99
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: I thought that was interesting. I don't know what to

100
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: make of that, because Zeke doesn't typically volunteer the extent

101
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: of his injuries. I mean, you really have to kind

102
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: of pull it out of Zeke and look at Dak.

103
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: Dak will typically say, you know, they kind of downplay

104
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: it themselves, but he wasn't really downplaying it, which I

105
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: thought was fascinating. And I feel like that's been the

106
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: trend this season too. Anytime there's an injury, it's not

107
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: an automatic yes or no. I mean we're sitting here

108
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: guessing up until what right before game time to who's

109
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: actually playing. Look at Zeke the perfect example, even into

110
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: what three weeks ago now, we were seeing there guessing

111
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: until last minute because there was not a straightforward answer

112
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: of this is what was wrong, this is how I feel.

113
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: So it is very interesting that there's a bit of

114
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: a different narrative with Tank and these injury multiple that's

115
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: scary well, and I do think what is going to

116
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: help them out? As I mean Anthony Barr going back

117
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: to Minnesota, I remember covering him my first rookie year.

118
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: He met a lot to that locker room. I mean,

119
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: Anthony barrs beloved there, even though we haven't seen him

120
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: for the last couple of weeks because he's been dealing

121
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: with the hamstring. Right, I can't keep up with all

122
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: of them. I know he's been dealing with the hamstring.

123
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: It does sound like he's trading in the right direction.

124
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: And I think he helps Micah Parsons because field at

125
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: the last two games, you haven't had Anthony Barr out there,

126
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: or at least he came out in the middle of

127
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: that one game. I think he helps Micah play a

128
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,799
Speaker 1: little bit more loose, because we certainly saw Micah playing

129
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: more linebacker in the last game than we had all seasons.

130
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: So I think he helps you out a little bit.

131
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: And then I had a really interesting conversation with corner

132
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown. Kelvin Joseph. I haven't been that impressed as

133
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: he's played there at corner, but Anthony Brown we talked

134
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: about this yesterday justin Jefferson. I think it's going to

135
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: be your biggest th roight. And Anthony Brown talked about

136
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: just the elements of his game, the routes that he

137
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: can run, those one handed matches and defending against it.

138
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: I mean it was the fourth and eighteen when they

139
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: were defending against him, and so they in the last

140
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: game at least they were not throwing at Trayvon Diggs

141
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: at all, so he wasn't traveling with them a lot.

142
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: So I anticipate that Anthony Brown probably will, and you know,

143
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: he was in concussion protocol from last week and I said,

144
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, dumb, dumb question here, I asked him too

145
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: dumb questions. One was why aren't guys making some of

146
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: their tackles and having gap integrity. I literally said, if

147
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: that's what everyone keep saying, whyn't you doing it? And

148
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: he's sort of alluded to the fact that guys had

149
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: to want to make the place, which I thought was

150
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: kind of interesting. And I'd have to go back and

151
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: listen to soundcle Bay. I had it and I was

152
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: going to play it, but I believe that's what he said.

153
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: And I thought that was kind of interesting because you

154
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: also had micas sort of alluding to that post game,

155
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: you know, after the loss. But then on the concussion,

156
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: I asked him, you know, seeing TWA and what he

157
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: was going through, are you at all concerned? And he

158
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: said he's had one concussion his rookie year and then

159
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: he had this concussion. But he said, yeah, like I'm

160
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,559
Speaker 1: a father of kids now, I'm gonna put them first.

161
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: So if I don't think that I can play, I'm

162
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: not gonna play. And said that gave me the sense

163
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: that he was going to play, and I think having

164
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: just Anthony Barr and Anthony Brown out there, I think

165
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: is going to significantly help your defense. But I do

166
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: think the Demarkus thing is something to keep an eye on.

167
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: Thing like crazy enough. I think getting Anthony Brown back

168
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: is going to be important just because as a communication

169
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: factor and stuff like, you can't he is a veteran,

170
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: like he is a veteran. Nonetheless, also with Anthony Barr

171
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: coming back, Demon Clark has been taking it. Not Demon Clark,

172
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: Darron Bland, No, no, Demon Clark thirty three has been

173
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: taking extended snaps, you know, because he's playing more. He

174
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: has to out of necessity, and he's a young gun.

175
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: He's still learning, and I know that is not what

176
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: they envisioned for him, to ramp him up anyway. So

177
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: Anthony Barr also coming back is going to allow that

178
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: young player to get back in there and play in

179
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: spots and hopefully that rotation is the depth and that

180
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: rotation starts to come back, because right now the linebacker

181
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: spot is then to some degree it has been with

182
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: the law Anthony Barr. So Jess I wanted to deep

183
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: dive a little bit too into some of their receiving threats. Yeah,

184
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: what are the Cowboys looking at? You know specifically, even

185
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: if you do have anythrety brown back, Yeah, you do

186
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: have a defense that wants to write the ship given

187
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: all of the talk about them out there. But how

188
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 1: much of a challenge is it going to be when

189
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,599
Speaker 1: you look at this Minnesota receiving corps. Oh yeah, I

190
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: mean it's definitely going to be I think the best

191
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: challenge that this team has faced so far. Obviously of

192
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, we've been saying that name, and for a

193
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: very good reason. If you haven't seen that one handed catch,

194
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: well you live under a rock and you need to.

195
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: But the thing about him is he plays well in

196
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: the edges and he navigates coverage very well, So any

197
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: blown coverage, he's getting that extra yardage that is going

198
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,239
Speaker 1: to be very important in this game. And it's consistent.

199
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: That's what's scary is it's not just a one off thing.

200
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: It's very very consistent. So obviously going to be talking

201
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: about him. Adam Feelin if for some reason Justin Jefferson's

202
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: on open, well you have an Adam Feelin who averages

203
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: let's see, about fifty one point nine yards a game.

204
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: Sounds like a little bit of a threat. Somebody else

205
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: that I wanted to put on your radar. Two was

206
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: t J. Hawkinson. This is a recent trade by the Vikings.

207
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: Who Okay, he's starting up, but hey, he hasn't done

208
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: bad the past couple of weeks. He's averaged fifty seven

209
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: point five yards a game just within his couple weeks

210
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: of being on the Vikings roster. Keep in mind, keep

211
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: in mind he's made an immediate impact. That's what's scary

212
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: about him is the immediate impact he has made and

213
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: becoming more of a Dalton Schultzlide kind of clutch tight

214
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: end for you know, you have Dak and Dalton this

215
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: one you have Kirk and DJ. So something to keep

216
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: an eye on. And then I have written here too

217
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: that double coverage is going to be big for t J.

218
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: Hawkinson because here's the thing. He likes to go for

219
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: that extra yardage after the tackle. Well, what was an

220
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 1: issue last week Cowboys tackling. So the tackling is going

221
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: to need to be contained and then not forward tackling

222
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: because a lot of what I was seeing from all

223
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: of the wide receivers that were getting the ball, specifically

224
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: during last week's game against you know, the Bills, when

225
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: when the Vikings played them was the tackling was contained,

226
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: but they were still pushing for those extra yards. So

227
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: hidden yardage like you had talked about earlier this week,

228
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: iis is going to be huge. Those are just some names.

229
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: Of course, you can even go in the run game.

230
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook obviously a big throat when you talk about

231
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: the run game there, and we were talking about Anthony Barr.

232
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: Something that he mentioned in his press conference Dalvin Cook

233
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: did about Anthony Barr was that he's like a brother

234
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: to him and that he showed him a lot, which

235
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: is interesting. They played two completely different positions, but he

236
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: showed him a lot of who he is and why

237
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: he plays like he plays now. So a little bit interesting,

238
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: good stuff. Just yeah, you found an interesting connection with

239
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: t J. Hawkinson and even the Titans here in Dallas.

240
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: So you shouldn't hear in the locker room. Oh yeah.

241
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: So I actually was able to catch up with Jamon

242
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 1: Kerr today because this kind of is a homecoming for

243
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: him as well. He played with the Vikings for some

244
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: time and he was just talking about, you know, they

245
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: just paid, they just played t J. Hawkinson but he

246
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: spoke about the fact that he played with him when

247
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: he was at the Lions. He has a lot of

248
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: respect for what he does and he's enjoyed seeing him thrive.

249
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: Obviously not this week, But when you talk about that

250
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: tight end tandem, it to me has changed that receiving core.

251
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: I think it actually puts it over the top a

252
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: little bit more where you can just get fifty yards

253
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: apiece from your tight ends and then your number one

254
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: is just like, you know, go do what you got,

255
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: do what you do. So the tight ends, I'm really

256
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: interested to see how the safeties played this game at

257
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage with these tight ends, because they're

258
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: physical at the line. They don't care about being in

259
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: the bump and run. They're gonna have to throw off

260
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: their routes and get them I don't know, I guess

261
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: get them out of phase during the game. Because Kirk

262
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 1: Cousins has definitely found a security blanket, and Hawkinson and

263
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,599
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling gave you that work in a couple of

264
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: spots last last year. So don't sleep on Feeling. Man.

265
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: No he's not He's not a sleeper. No, he's not

266
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: a sleeper at all. He's he's consistent. As you were

267
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,599
Speaker 1: talking about Jess is that he's always there. So the

268
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: safeties in particular are gonna have to come play and

269
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: be ready to wrap up and tackle because the leaky yardage,

270
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: like Dan Quinn has talked about and Mike McCarthy are

271
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: things they thrive off of because this offense is they

272
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: have the ability to be dynamic, but they're not always dynamic.

273
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: They're just steady, very steady, and they're good with their hands.

274
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: That's the biggest thing too, is you look at how

275
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: they're catching the ball when it's up in the air.

276
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: They're making plays when it's up in the air. They're

277
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: This ball sometimes by Kirk Cousins is not just directly

278
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: right here between the numbers, it is just up here.

279
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: They're still making plays. It is. He's gonna scary, but

280
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: that's also a good opportunity for your ballhawks on the team.

281
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: Trey Vaughn, Sir, I am talking to you. This is

282
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: the game we need to see you. I think for

283
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: me though, like I look at this this Vikings offense,

284
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: and obviously Jefferson scares you, and rightfully like he should,

285
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins doesn't scare me. You know, even like the

286
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: Hawkinson's Adam feeling, you have to respect him, like he

287
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: still is a very very solid player. What scares me

288
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: is kind of what you mentioned, where these guys are

289
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: good at jumping in and being the role players, where

290
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: when you do game planning against a Jefferson, you can't

291
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: ignore the other guys in the team. Like this offense

292
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: is multifaceted, and they are good at executing the simple things,

293
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: which is something that I think this Cowboys team has

294
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: struggle with at times. And they'll make you pay. Last

295
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: week we saw it. There's a rookie who's out there

296
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: winning games for a Hall of Famer, right, And like,

297
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: while Kirk Cousins isn't an Aaron Rodgers, I feel like

298
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: he has enough weapons that he can still make you pay.

299
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: Hawkinson is going to be a mismatch for this team.

300
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: He just is most tight ends are, especially when they're

301
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: receiving games. So I just think there's you can't ignore

302
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: what they're bringing to the table, even when they are

303
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: just like overall like solid players. I think Kevin O'Connell's

304
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: bringing a lot to the table. Oh yeah, they're creative.

305
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: You gotta love that part of the Sean mcvain coaching tree. Yeah,

306
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: they do so much. They do so much. A lot

307
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: of what Sam friends, the pens, the pools, they're they're

308
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: trying to get yours. All these young head coaches. Man, now,

309
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: they're trying to get you going in one direction and

310
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: go on to the other direction. It's this offense is not,

311
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: like I said, I wouldn't consider it like, oh my god, dynamic.

312
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: But they're more than capable, and they're well coached, and

313
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: they're a very different offense than what you faced on

314
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: the road last year. And they're using this team that's

315
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: the key. They're young, so it's not like this is

316
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: going to be a one time threat. This is a

317
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings team that can can continue to grow off

318
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: of this. And we talk a lot about culture here

319
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: in this building. They have completely bought into this culture

320
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. So another thing. All right, well, let's talk

321
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: about this Cowboys offense. I did an interesting conversation with

322
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott, specifically about Kellen Moore, so I'll tell you

323
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: a little bit about that. We'll also do a quick

324
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: entry update for you, and we've got Tatum Effort from

00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: met covering sec aceball sow story with her, but we'll

327
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: have Tatum Everett from the Minnesota Vikings on the other

328
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,040

Speaker 1: thing that belongs in your garbage can. Now, recycling might

342
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: not be as thrilling is converting up fourth and long,

00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: love to welcome in right now Minnesota Vikings to beat

385
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: reporter Tatum Everett, who I told the ladies here on

386
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: the show. I got to hang out with you and

387
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: meet you when we were covering SEC baseball LSU. Lance

388
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: Breckman was just coming up as as a big dog

389
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: at LSU. You were the sports director in Street for

390
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: it and now covering the Minnesota Vikings. So well, thank

391
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: you so much for joining us on the show. I

392
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: know it's a busy week. Thanks Jane, I appreciate it. Yeah,

393
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: we do go way back. And it's funny because I

394
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: would see you at Cowboys things and was so excited

395
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: for the move that you made to ESPN. Well you're

396
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: at ESPN and then the NFL network now and watching

397
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: you it's been always so inspiring. I think the one

398
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: thing story I tell that story pretty often for women

399
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: getting in the industry because I was like Jane was,

400
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, she worked her butt off to be where

401
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: she is and she saw Kelsey and I and she

402
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: was like, I see you see your hustle. You're gonna

403
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: make it. You're gonna go places if you keep it up.

404
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 1: And like hearing that was huge, and I've told her

405
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: that multiple times since then, but I can start to

406
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: pay it forward all the time. Is great. I mean, no,

407
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: she's wonderful and I'm excited to meet you guys. And yeah,

408
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: I think being up here in Minnesota while it's twenty

409
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: seven and snowing for the last four days has definitely

410
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: been a bit of an adjustment. Yeah, for my like

411
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: Louisiana roots, But yeah, you get used to it. Just

412
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 1: part of the part of the territory, I guess up here,

413
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: and honestly, Minnesota is one of my absolute favorite stadiums

414
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: to go to. I was there right after Prince died

415
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: and they had this amazing Prince tribute symphony at halftime

416
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: Purple Lights because of course Prince has like his whole

417
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: compound there, but one of my favorites. And then when

418
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: they blow the horn during the game, I mean the

419
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: fans and they're still angry about the trade that essentially

420
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: set up Troy Atman in three Super Bowls in Dallas,

421
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: but we are very excited about this one. Shame Gang

422
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: kirk Cousins. Then why do you think Kirk Cousins is

423
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: playing as well as he is this year? Tatum, you know, Jane,

424
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: it's funny that you say that, because if you look

425
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: at his stats, it's really not one of his better seasons.

426
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: I think that he is just feeling understood by this

427
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: coaching staff. His history with Kevin O'Connell has really allowed

428
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: him to have open dialogue between the two of them.

429
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: They meet weekly. Kirk knows these plays. He's been in

430
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: a West Coast offense for a while now, and I

431
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: think he just is this. This coaching staff trusts him,

432
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: and I think he therefore trusts himself, and the bond

433
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: between the players and Kirk has become so strong that

434
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: it's almost like he bets on himself more. I feel

435
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: like he just knows he's more comfortable. But it's funny because,

436
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: like you know, statistically it's been his best right, But

437
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: I mean sometimes it doesn't matter, like it goes to

438
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: show you that like obviously make a huge difference. But

439
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: in this case, it's just been a total team effort. Gosh,

440
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 1: I feel like a coach saying that. But like it's

441
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: been like every fast of the game has not They've

442
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: not played a full complete game. I would say I

443
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: would argue the Bill game might be the closest of

444
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: the Packers game Week one, but they're still chasing that

445
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: like game where everything just checks off because they put

446
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: us through, you know, like the Ringer every week. With

447
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: these one score games, you never know which way it's

448
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: going to go. But they you just can't count them

449
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: out either. I actually do want to talk to you

450
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: a little bit about You mentioned the relationship that Kirk

451
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: has with the head coach, and we were referencing this previously,

452
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: but it feels like Sean McVeigh is building quite the

453
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: coaching tree, right. You talk about in college football like

454
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: it's like the Saban coaching tree. Well, in the NFL,

455
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 1: it's a it's a lot of young guys coming up.

456
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: And I think that you've been able to see what

457
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: O'Connell has done with this Vikings team versus what's been

458
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: done in previous years. Can you speak to what he's

459
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: been able to bring to the table and truly the

460
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: difference thin it's made just this season alone, I'd go

461
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: ahead and say yeah. I mean, I think I wouldn't

462
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: be lying to you if I said I expected a

463
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: complete change in everything because a lot of the same

464
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: pieces were there. They got out and got some key

465
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: free agents that have been key for this season. But

466
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, like Quasia Dopomenta, the

467
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: general manager and Kevin O'Connell are very clear, we're not

468
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: coming in here for a rebuild. We believe in the

469
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: players that we have in this locker room. We're just

470
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: going to bolster this roster and make a run for it,

471
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: which is clearly what's happening. And I think that you

472
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: know nothing against Mike Zimmer because he's a great coach.

473
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: He's a great defensive mind. But you've got an offensive

474
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: guy in here who's relatively young in age, he's played

475
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: the game, he's worked with some players before, and then

476
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: he brings in an an incredibly intelligent and incredibly intelligent

477
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: and talented staff that I just these guys are having fun,

478
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: and they repeatedly tell us how much fun they're having.

479
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 1: Several players including Dalvin Tomlins, and I know he's out

480
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: right now, but he's told me I've never had more

481
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: fun playing football than I am right now. So many

482
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: of these guys are just again, they're just having the

483
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: best time of their career. And so I think that's

484
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: that shows on the field, because you mean, you guys,

485
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure you saw the clip from last week when

486
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: they're down um, when Josh Allen's at the goal line

487
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: and Patrick Peterson's like yelling in their faces, We've got this,

488
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: and it's like that was so crazy because no, like

489
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: that the probability of that was like one in a million.

490
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think that's accurate, but it felt

491
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: like it. And so I think that that belief come

492
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: from the top and from who that they've who they've

493
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,479
Speaker 1: put in here as part of the staff. And it's

494
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: a really really fun, enjoyable um group of guys. It's

495
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: been really fun to cover it and to watch happen

496
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,479
Speaker 1: because I think sometimes you just don't really think about

497
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: how much culture plays into it when it really, I

498
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: think is proving to everyone right now, it really does. Tatum,

499
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about Christian Drsam. Where is

500
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: he looking this week? From your knowledge? He has had

501
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: a fantastic season to start, definitely one of the better,

502
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: maybe the best right tackle in football right now? Where

503
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: is he looking as far as his concussion protocol? Yeah? Well,

504
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: I love me some crime Dog. That's the nickname that

505
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: Kirk Gets gave him. And Kirk and the locker room

506
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: was like I need you, and he's like, I'm calling

507
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: you CD crime dog, you know, like from like from

508
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: the show. And Christian was like, I have no idea

509
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: what you're talking aboutout It's like Dad, Yes, but they're

510
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: embracing it and they really are like such a tight

511
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: group and it's it's fun seeing Christian out there. You know,

512
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: it's it's a second year and um, he's such a

513
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 1: great addition to this group. He's, like you said, one

514
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: of the best right tackles out there. I mean, it's

515
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: just incredible what he's been able to I mean, sorry,

516
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: left tackles. It's incredible what he's been able to do

517
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: this season. Christian Is was out at practice and a

518
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: no contact jersey today. I read no contact jersey today.

519
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 1: I think that might be promising for some concussion protocol.

520
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: I am not part of the training staff. I do

521
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: not have that information, but seeing him out there is

522
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: definitely a good sign because I know we've got another

523
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: player that's going through concussion protocol at Caleb Evans who

524
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: stepped up after Cam Dansler went on IR in the

525
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: cornerback room and he was not out there, So hopefully

526
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: that's the sign of good things. To come, he will

527
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: be a huge loss for this line, especially against the

528
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: Dallas front. However, you know, this coaching staff is very

529
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: confident in next man up. But I know that seems cliche.

530
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: But last week when he got out of the game,

531
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: Blake Brandell, who was drafted in twenty twenty, he's been

532
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. He really didn't have too much

533
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: real game experience when in the game, and the coaching

534
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: staff said they didn't really feel like they have to

535
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: do anything different that Blake just plugged in and they

536
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: were really proud of his efforts. So they're confident in

537
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: Blake in case Christians can't go. But obviously the hope

538
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: is that he's up there because, as you guys know,

539
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: both these teams have two games in five days, so

540
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: he's definitely a valuable player you want to see out there. Hey, Tatum,

541
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: So we were just getting on that hype train about

542
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: tight end t J. Hockenson and the impact he's made

543
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: immediately for the Vikings offense. Can you go into a

544
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: little bit more how schematically he is really going to

545
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: impact that scheme and maybe how it's going to be

546
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: built around him. The more time goes on, Yeah, I

547
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: think what the Vikings I've really been missing is that

548
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: middle of the field threat. And TJ is such a

549
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: big body that can just rush in there. He has

550
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 1: great hands, he's got a big body, he knows how

551
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: to use it, and I think that's what they were missing.

552
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: As much as his coaching staff likes Er Smith, I

553
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: don't think he's ever reached his feeling or really like

554
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 1: tap the surface into what he was capable of. And

555
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: he's really struggled with injuries black a couple of seasons.

556
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: But TJ is as you you know, he comes in

557
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: the game after being in the building for four days,

558
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: five days, and he has nine catches for seventy yards

559
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: and it's just incredible that he was able to do that.

560
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: I think the more weapons you have out there, the better,

561
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: because when you just key up on Justin Jefferson, there's

562
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: other ways that this the defense is going to even

563
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: be punished. And I think that TJ is a huge

564
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: part of that for sure. Okay, so we're excited to

565
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: have him here. He was like, it's nice to talk about,

566
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, winning things. It's refreshing, summarizing. I'm summarizing obviously,

567
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: but h so this is one of the things that

568
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: you know has really surprised me the most. And looking

569
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: ahead at this game, you look at you know, last

570
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: week and the Cowboys coming off a pretty tough loss.

571
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: They should have won that one. Vikings had an impressive

572
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: win over the Bills, and somehow still the Cowboys are favored,

573
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: which is wild. How is that even a thing? And

574
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: like are you are you just like totally prize by that, Tatum.

575
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: Is there any reaction in the locker room to that,

576
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: or I mean I can imagine that's just whoa chip

577
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: on your shoulder fuel which is the Lars Cowboys means why? Yeah,

578
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: you know, I think a lot of it might have

579
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: to do with like point differential win wind point differential,

580
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: because you know, the Vikings have i think it's seventh

581
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: straight one score games. They're seven to oh and one

582
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: stor games. I mean, it's just incredible. This team has

583
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: been down three times by double digits in the fourth quarter.

584
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: It's just you see this team consistently fights back, and

585
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: I think at some point oddsmakers in Vegas are thinking,

586
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: like this isn't this trend. They're thinking trend. I'm sorry,

587
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: they're thinking mirage. We're thinking trend. Right, So it's not

588
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: a mirage, it's a trend. Boogs. Players are like, we

589
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: are going to We believe in each other. We know

590
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: that even when we're down like that, it's going to happen.

591
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: So the belief it's there for the entire game. There's

592
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: never a give up attitude. There's never a panic moment.

593
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: And so I don't know, maybe the Veggat knows more

594
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: than we do. Usually they are pretty right, So I

595
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: think it's more or less like the Cowboys have had

596
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,479
Speaker 1: some very convincing wins this season, and the Vikings, albeit

597
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: they just be one of the best teams in the league.

598
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: You know, it didn't come without its dramatics, and they

599
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: even mode they did it and overtime, and the Cowboys

600
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: were playing the Packers that literally had an injury report

601
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: that read like a laundry list, and one of their

602
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean one of their I think their biggest threats

603
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: on defense was Rashan Gary and the Cowboys weren't able

604
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: to really get any momentum going. Uh So, Yeah, I

605
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: find I find it very very fascinating, and I find

606
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: myself going, what did they know that we don't literally that? Yeah,

607
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: in history as well. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I have

608
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: been terrible at home against the Cowboys, and the funny

609
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: thing is they've had those two better two last losses.

610
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: I guess we're against the backup quarterbacks. It's like the

611
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: first time that Dak I guess plays these which is

612
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: three years Yeah, which is crazy. Yeah, it's so crazy.

613
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, they must know something we don't. But I'll

614
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: say this, like, I don't know if coach will use

615
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: this in the locker room speech or the hype speech

616
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: to get these guys ready, but this team feels like

617
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: they don't. They don't listen to the outside noise. From

618
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: what I hear, they're not really afored about the legitimacy.

619
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: I know. But you know, but when I talked to

620
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: like Brian O'Neill after the game and he's like, well, no,

621
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: actually I want it was kJ Osbourne. They were like,

622
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: they'll know who we are, they'll know who we are

623
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: after this, And so I think that that attitude is

624
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: just like we're just gonna back it up with our

625
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: play and move on. So it is surprising though. I

626
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: was surprised. I even think didn't they open up at

627
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: like a three and a half version two? Yeah? Crazy don't.

628
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: I would be insulted. Honestly, if I was that team,

629
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: I would be I would be offended. I'm sure again,

630
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: as Jane you mentioned this, like no player is genuinely

631
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: going to unless you're DeMarcus Lawrence, and then they'll just

632
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: straight call you out for it. But nine times I

633
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: tend they're like, no, our heads are down, we're looking

634
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: ahead to this next week. I give you the Bill

635
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,719
Speaker 1: Belichick answer, but you know they're secretly like looking at

636
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: the line or they're reading their name, like world Twitter

637
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: lost team. Coming after that win over the Bills, I

638
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: look like I think some people would argue, what has

639
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: really been the Cowboys big signature win this year? Correct?

640
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: I mean that's what when I look at the Cowboys,

641
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: I find myself going, what was the signature win? I

642
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: think all of the games day won without their starting quarterback.

643
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,239
Speaker 1: Well and dan Quinn. A while back, I mean one

644
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: of those press conferences has talked about having a moment

645
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: in the season where he knows that this team is

646
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: going to continue on and that you know, I'm not

647
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,239
Speaker 1: speaking verbatim, but he talked about not having that moment yet,

648
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: and that was weeks ago. That's probably about a month ago,

649
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: so I don't know. I didn't feel it then, I

650
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: don't feel it now. Yeah, well, Tatum, I appreciate so

651
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: much of your time. I know that you are running around.

652
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: They're super busy. I wish I was making the trip

653
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: to see you, so big big hug'll get tom peroom.

654
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: But I was like, I don't be a big love

655
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: sadly and I love Minnesota one of my favorites. But

656
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: thank you so much for jumping in here, and congratulations

657
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: all your success, sweet girl. Thank you so much to

658
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: miss you guys, and and we'll miss you up here.

659
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: I can't wait for another epic showdown. Love the three

660
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: twenty five kick if well, time to sleep in so

661
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: the best? Yeah yeah, but the one thing, the one

662
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: thing though, Jane, you're not missing out in this snow.

663
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: But it's so I likes about missing out. I don't

664
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: like Tatum real quick. What's the expected forecast for Sunday's game? Oh?

665
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: Good question. Now we are a Dome team, which, good god,

666
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm so happy for. If we were not a Dome team,

667
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: I probably would have turned down the job. But iPhone

668
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: says it will be partly cloudy. High of thirty low

669
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: of eight. But no, we're all intense purposes for these

670
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: teams sixty eight and just nice and self. Oh my

671
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: parents love to remind me of how much hot weather

672
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: they have or you know whatever. But yes, I mean

673
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: it's definitely cold. Thank god we have a dome. Like

674
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: Jane says, it's literally one of the best game experiences

675
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: experiences you will have if you ever get up here.

676
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: I wasn't much of a game presentation person until I

677
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: got to Minnesota, and I would like to put on

678
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: a show. They put on a show. So yeah, but

679
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: thanks guys for having me take care of guys. All right,

680
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: by data as we talked about the weather, guys, I

681
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 1: was up there for Super Bowl in Minnesota, and Diane

682
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 1: Risini is one of my best friends over to ESPN,

683
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: and so we just love creating content. So he went

684
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: else water and we threw it in the air. I

685
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: kid you not. It turned to snow. No. I think

686
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 1: I remember this. We were doing a web redemption because

687
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: on air once for ESPN. Google it. It's great. She

688
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: was trying to show on air how cold it was

689
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: in a particular game, and she had a glass of

690
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: water and she poured it and water came out. It

691
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: was our web redemption. This is also the girl that

692
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: put her producer in a kevlar vest. I took a

693
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: baseball batch show True Breezes or Exit. One of her

694
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: live shots. She's hitting her producer and the trust. It

695
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: was great. We'll have to get her on the show.

696
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: She's in maternity. I'll leave right now with her second child.

697
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: Everyone say she's great, all right. Well ahead of having

698
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: Tatum on, which we really appreciated having her on and

699
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: getting some of that insight about what the Cowboys can

700
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: expect against Minnesota. I talked about how I'm feeling bullish

701
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,959
Speaker 1: this week, bullish last week Zeke wasn't playing, I'm feeling

702
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: bullish this week that he is playing, and what he

703
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: had to say about their own young wonder kid offensive mind.

704
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: If Kellen Moore will have that on the other side

705
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,400

743
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: Cowboys had an offensive, offensive performance in Green Bay and

744
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: we had an offension. You're welcome, We're talking at kirk Cousins.

745
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: I was giving you mom jokes. That's really good. Yeah,

746
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: we were having literally an offensive discussion about cheese, Currier

747
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: and Green Bay. So yeah, yeah, it was. It was

748
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: a big no from us. But I think what really

749
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: hurt that offensive performance was not having Ezekiel Elliott. And

750
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: hear me out on this because a lot of people

751
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: are like, well, wait a minute. We saw Tony Pollard

752
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: with more yards from scrimmage than he's ever had, more

753
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: carries than he's ever had from his NFL and college

754
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: career and his high school career, and he was able

755
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: to turn out what was over one hundred yards. He

756
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: had a rushing touchdown. That's all great, right, like that

757
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: he scores for you. But in the last three games

758
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: before the knee injury for Zeke, he also had two

759
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns. And what I truly believe is he the

760
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: reason why this defense played better when he had Cooper rush,

761
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: for instance, under center, was because they were running the

762
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: ball more. When you're not only handing the ball off

763
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: to Tony Pollard and you're handing it off to Ezekiel Elliott,

764
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: you're controlling your time of possession, you're wearing down opposing defense.

765
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: Is because he is such a bruiserin he's such a

766
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: punishing runner. But when you're throwing it and you're going

767
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: three and out and then you're setting yourself up for

768
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: some misqs and some of the routes that are being

769
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 1: run by Dalton Schultz and Ceede Liam earlier in that game.

770
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: That's where you're getting yourself in trouble. And so I've

771
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: been arguing this and standing on the table for the

772
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: last couple of years for those people that don't want

773
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: to Ezekie Elliott here in Dallas. While I think Malik

774
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: Davis could be capable of some of those things as

775
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: a young more of a bruising type back, what he

776
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: does is special in the sense of what he does

777
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: to opposing defenses, which in essence helps your defense. And

778
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: talking to him today, I truly do believe that he's

779
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: playing on Sunday. I did not think that last week. Yeah,

780
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: I agree with you in a sense that I do

781
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: think that you miss Zeke this game in And the

782
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: reason why I say that is because the way the

783
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys ran the ball. They got the numbers. The numbers

784
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: look fine, Tony Potter went off, but in that fourth quarter,

785
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: Green Bay's defense was fresh. Yep. Yeah, that was the difference.

786
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: They could rush the passer, they could do everything they

787
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: wanted to because they had fresh legs. A lot of that,

788
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: to me is the way in which the Cowboys are

789
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: running the ball is this game. They did a lot

790
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: of reaching and stuff, but running downhill and really taking

791
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 1: it to these guys, Really think I think Ezekiel Elliott

792
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: is a big part of setting the tone for that,

793
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: not only for the team, but for the offensive line.

794
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: This offensive line is played incredibly better when they are

795
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: physically taking it to guys running downhill, when they're doing

796
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: all this reaching and all this stuff, like, they're so

797
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: much better when they're really trying to pin and pull

798
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: guys and go after them. So I felt like the

799
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,760
Speaker 1: difference in this game was that you missed the physical

800
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: aspect of your run game, not that your run game

801
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: didn't work schematically, it was just like are you punishing them?

802
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 1: And I think that the tone setter for that is

803
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott. So I do think that he was missed

804
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 1: this game. I would love to see him back this

805
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: week because I think you're gonna need to wear down

806
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 1: these defensive ends for the for the Vikings and Darius

807
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: Smith is insane And something that we had talked about

808
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: yesterday too, was part of that one two punch that

809
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: we just love to talk about all the time, is

810
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: you have to get more touches on the I meanlike

811
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,240
Speaker 1: Davis only had five carries this game, and you can't

812
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,879
Speaker 1: wear down a defense when you don't have a full

813
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: one two punch that's not in full operation with more

814
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: than what twenty seven carries combined. Tony Pollard had twenty

815
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: two carries, Mike Davis had five. And what Zeke does is,

816
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he's not getting those chunk runs, maybe

817
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: he's not getting you those twenty yard runs on a

818
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: consistent basis, but what he does is he gets you

819
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: five yards, he gets you four yards, he gets you

820
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: six yards, and those add up, and that wear and

821
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: tear on the defense is what's so important. So yeah,

822
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: come fourth quarter, they're gassed and they're tired and they're exhausted,

823
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: and they're not going to have the energy to stop

824
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: you on a fourth down. I mean, that's it does

825
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: come back to Zeke. Although I do stick with the

826
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: agreement that we all said before the Green Bay game

827
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: that it was the right call for him to sit

828
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: for the injury and you know, reserving him for the

829
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: rest of the season. I think it's interesting too, we're

830
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: seeing a lot more of the league transition into more

831
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: of this threat backfield, which you know we've had a

832
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: lot of conversations around Tony Pollard's capabilities. Can he be

833
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 1: a number one running back? He could be a dumber

834
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: one running back somewhere else, and you could arguably say

835
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: he is serving as a number one guy right now.

836
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: But I do think to your point, Jane and everyone here,

837
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 1: when you add Ezekiel Elliott, it is a different type

838
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: of threat. And I feel like you are extending the

839
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: time that the Cowboys have the ball. Time of possession

840
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: really does matter in terms of the stat line almost

841
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: every game, and and it is. It's you can't just

842
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: look at a stat sheet and just pick one thing,

843
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: but if you had to, that would be one that

844
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: in turnovers are the two that I would just say

845
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: right off the bat. And I feel like I just

846
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 1: mentioned that, you know, you've seen a resurgence of these

847
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: young guys in terms of head coaches and offensive coordinators

848
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: being crafty. I actually feel like Kellen Moore has had

849
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: to go back to more of the standard type of

850
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: play and because of the fact that he hasn't had

851
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 1: the same guys to work with. And I actually think

852
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: the simplification is working when they do it right. And

853
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: so I feel like Zeke gives you that really solid

854
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: run game and gives you that other element when you

855
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: add both of them back there. I mean again like

856
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: it's a kind of a necessity based off of what

857
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: weapons they have on the table to be able to

858
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: wear down defenses and then again execute against their game plan. Well,

859
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I had an interesting since you

860
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: brought up Kelly Moore, an interesting conversation with Zeke, and

861
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: I said, look, I'm not trying to like headline this

862
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: or getting the weeds here, but I am curious how

863
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: responsive is Kellen Moore to feedback and other words? We

864
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: hear so much the guys volunteering that they have a

865
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: leadership counsel and they give Mike McCarthy feedback and he's

866
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: really great with constructive criticism. How was he? And he said, man,

867
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: we were here at the same time. You know, like

868
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: he's not much older than those guys, and there's a

869
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: lot of he said he's my coach, but you know,

870
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: like basically saying he's our friend too. Sometimes I wonder

871
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,399
Speaker 1: if that's a good thing or a bad thing, right,

872
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it works obviously with Sean McBay, it works

873
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: with n O'Connell, it's not working with Cliff and Kyler

874
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: in Arizona. So I do think that's sort of an

875
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: interesting dynamic there. But I've asked people, why not do

876
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 1: what you were doing with Cooper Rush, which is run

877
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: the ball more, sort of simplify the thing. And as

878
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: it was described to me, when you feel like you

879
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: have a better quarterback, which is in this situation, Dak Prescott,

880
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: kellen Moore feels the need to open up the playbook more.

881
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: But in opening up the playbook more, you are making

882
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: yourself a little bit susceptible. And even Zeke said, man,

883
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: he thinks outside the box. But sometimes I'm like, does

884
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: the thinking outside the bot? Like? Is that the best?

885
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: Is that the best thing for them? So I just

886
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: I find that interesting and something to sort of keep

887
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: an eye on, you know, just this year and what

888
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: that looks like moving forward, because the big knock on

889
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: kellen Moore last year was that they were throwing the

890
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: ball too much. Yeah, and that's what I mean. They

891
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 1: have to simplify things, especially when you're talking about third down,

892
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 1: You're talking about time of possession, whatever your third down plays.

893
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: I gotta be that complicated. Yeah, Well, if you have

894
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: to get third down. Yeah, you have to get too

895
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,760
Speaker 1: third down. You have the gentleman to get three yards

896
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: like you do. And so I agree with you is

897
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: that there are instances in the game where it's like

898
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 1: that wasn't necessary right there when it works, it works right,

899
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: and you're seeing him do things where like, well that

900
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: that was interesting, not for me, because I think it

901
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: throws up and not for me, I'm just being honest

902
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 1: with you because it really throws off the game when

903
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: when they're in a rhythm and then there's some like

904
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: weird reverse or something like that. And I understand, and

905
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: he's even even Kellen's alluded to like having to sit

906
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: within himself and not pass the ball. But forty six

907
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: times was too much last week and that's just is

908
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: what it is. And also too but to that point,

909
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 1: you have to get a rhythm by starting a rhythm

910
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: early on in the game. Yeah, going three and out

911
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: and setting that tone that doesn't help anybody. What was

912
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: it when Dak first came back decided to throw the

913
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: ball into a brown or that didn't work out. I

914
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: was like, whyren't you just starting it and running the ball?

915
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 1: That that particular play didn't make a lot of sense.

916
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think I think it's interesting. This offense,

917
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: I think is still struggling to find its identity. I

918
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: did ask Ceedee Lamb this today and I'll end it

919
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: on this note. I said, how much do you think

920
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: and we brought this up yesterday than not having the

921
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: preseason and then obviously not having you back from injury,

922
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: reps matter. Yeah, when you're a wide receiver, reps matter,

923
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: the connection matters, and I think they've just they've really

924
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: struggled to get on that, not just this year, but

925
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: last year. And I'm not making excuses for Dac and

926
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,320
Speaker 1: as receivers, but I think that's real. And so in

927
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,720
Speaker 1: the absence of that, I think you should be running

928
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: the ball more. So I'll leave you with that note.

929
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: Do you've got a quick pass interference for us before

930
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: we get out of here? I do not today. Okay,

931
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: all right, we are wrapping up the show. That's it

932
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: for the week, big big game this weekend in Minnesota.

933
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: As Dak described, it feels like a playoff game. Hopefully

934
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: or Cowboys fans, we're talking about a playoff type win

935
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: on Monday. That's it for girls, talk boys talk see

936
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: next time. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys

937
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club
