Okay, Um, 50 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: we took care of that done, sick took a couple 51 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: of weeks, but got a new kicker in here. So 52 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: so what was a positive tone today? Um? What was 53 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: it about? Got? There were so many things.

I explained to him last night what happened. 59 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: He didn't understand what happened. Wait, they didn't. No one 60 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: told him.

Or was that just like a great 92 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: They've they have not played well here lately. It was 93 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: may have been a mirage, maybe good coaching, maybe whatever. 94 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: The first half of the season's one of those Super 95 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: Bowls things. That was just one of those moments. They 96 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: played a great game the week prior, but they lost, right, 97 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: But it was a lot of fight. You want to 98 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: see fight. There was no fight last night. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 99 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: it was I They're done. It was it was homecoming 100 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: last night. You know, we got to celebrate through what 101 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: it was. He's like, thirty seven to nothing, thirty four 102 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: to seven the final score. But did you see Breeze's 103 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: stat line? He was twenty nine out of thirty. No, 104 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: we was football football. That's not football because it just 105 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: doesn't happen. You got the ball man on both sides. 106 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: Come on, god, that was just so bad man. It's like, 107 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: it's hard to do that, yes, because even you're gonna 108 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: drop at least the pass. And with him, he's a 109 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: shorter quarterback, so usually he's got at least one or 110 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: two get tipped during the course. And I know he's amazing. 111 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: I am not arguing that fact, but come on, guys, 112 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: you can't do that against nine thirty three or seven, 113 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: twenty nine for thirty for like three or seven or 114 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: something in four touchdowns and for touchdowns whenever he felt 115 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: like it, whenever he felt like it. Well, and how 116 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: about this about Drew Brees. We is a state championship 117 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: week here, Okay, Drew Brees at Austin Westlake. It was 118 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five or nineteen ninety six, he won the 119 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: state championship. Think about how long this guy and Brady 120 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: for that matter, have been playing football. I mean, you 121 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: people look at his size. I mean, he's a smaller guy. 122 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: You would think he couldn't last all those years that 123 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: the shoulder injury. Seemed like he got better after the 124 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: shoulder injuries. It's a career that you wouldn't figure what happened. 125 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: And it started to San Diego. Yeah, and it started 126 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: his career at San Diego and not playing you know, right, 127 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: you think Miami wishes they had passed him on that physical, 128 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: but when was there. It's like everything else. You have 129 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: to have your accomplice. You know, that's Belichick, and that's Brady, 130 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: and and with with Drew because of Sean Payne. Right, 131 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: I mean, of course Drew's amazing, but you have to 132 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: have that accomplice with you to have that type of longevity. 133 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: You can't do it by yourself. All we're going to 134 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: have something bad. You got to have your bad man. 135 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: And think about the circumstances that led to them signing 136 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: Drew Brees because he was coming off that shoulder surgery 137 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: and Miami didn't want to pass them. The Saints are 138 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: going through Katrina basically, and it's like, okay, we got 139 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: to do something, and Peyton says, let's sign Drew Brees 140 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: and they got there together. But they didn't realize they 141 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: had Drew Brees until but they were willing to shake 142 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: hands on it. Yeah, they didn't know what they had paid. 143 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: I remember correctly. When they signed them. They paid them. 144 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: You know, it was like a huge contract, but it 145 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: was all in the first year and they could get 146 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: out of it the second year without a big salary 147 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: cap penalty. So they said, Okay, let's do a look 148 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: see contract. Well they looked in. Boy, that we see. 149 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: So the Cowboys win this week, make the playoffs, and 150 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: for all the playoff teams, does the road to the 151 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: Super Bowl now go through New Orleans? I'm not saying 152 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: about home field advantage, but is that the team that 153 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: when you see how that offense is now playing. Whether 154 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: they're the only team right now that has clinched their division? 155 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: I believe they everybody else's the other teams have clinched 156 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: a playoff spot, but not the division. Yeah, but that 157 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: doesn't say much about where the world goes. Well, they're 158 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: eleven and three a week ago, and the road went 159 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: through San Francisco literally and figuratively. And then Atlanta goes 160 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: to San Francisco and beat San Francisco. So Seattle just 161 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: loses Josh Gordon. I think technically they're still the top seat, 162 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: but they play San Francisco in week seventeen. Correct. That's 163 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: why I'm kind of I'm a little heads and that's 164 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: why I'm not talking. I'm not talking what home field. 165 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: I'm talking, which is like from a Cowboys perspective, let's 166 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: dream a little here. Okay, where where would they be? 167 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: The toughest place to play to win? Oh, it's no 168 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: doubt to me. Super Dome, Yeah, it's no doubt about it. 169 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: The Super Dollar in a championship playoff atmosphere the worst 170 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: place to play. I told you the crowd sounds like 171 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: they're engineered. You know, after a while, it's not voices, 172 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: it's it's an engine. It becomes a whole different entity 173 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: when it's that loud, and it's like you got someone 174 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: controlling the volume at will, and you can say what 175 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: you want. When the Cowboys played there in the Superdome, 176 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: they could have gotten being worse than they did. Let's 177 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: just say it like it is no communication. The crowd 178 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: itself is their twelfth and thirteenth man, and against a 179 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: great defense as well at that time, which sailed great defense. 180 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: Everyone was putting it down after a while now you 181 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: realize that that's really one of the most solid defenses 182 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: in the league. It wasn't just at first eight games. 183 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: They have continued to be the most solid defense in league. 184 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: So you have crowd control, the crowd noise, and you 185 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: got defense. Cowboys are lucky they didn't get be worse. 186 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: Nut twelve ten was all the thanks to two losing 187 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: those two fumbles going over the fifty yard long. Of course, 188 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: with Bridgewater at quarterback right the first full game, what 189 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: they what they did without Breeze for five or six 190 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: games undefeated. To me, that's the mark of the best 191 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: team in the league because that just shows the rest 192 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: of your roster and what you can do without a 193 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterback. So yeah, I'm with Everson on that. 194 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: Although Seattle is always tough if you got to go 195 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: up there. So if you're going to paint a scenario 196 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, okay, they win, you want to host 197 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: San Francisco or Seattle, I don't think it makes a difference. Well, 198 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: but but think about it this way. You host Seattle, 199 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: you're not playing up there in that loud place, okay, 200 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: And so you okay, and we're dreaming here. We're dreaming here, 201 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: and then you got the wild card game. Right as 202 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: far as as far as dreaming goes, I would rather 203 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: play Seattle, okay here, I would rather do and I'm 204 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: also be painting we played two exactly. They're more familiar 205 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: with them. Although, man, you give Russell Wilson one shot 206 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: to win a game, that's that's tough there. But you're right, 207 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: they're not as familiar with San Francisco. We played them well, yeah, 208 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: I mean even going back to remember when we went 209 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: up there and blew them out in Seattle one year, 210 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: which was amazing and that was on heard of at 211 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: the time. He should have beat them up there in 212 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: two thousand and six. Mobile quarterbacks this year have not 213 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: been the strength for this defense. That was the cowboy defense. 214 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: That's fair, that's what days ago. And this is we're 215 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 1: playing fantasy football here, okay, this is this is fantasy time, 216 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: all right. Okay, So then you would then play at 217 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 1: San Francisco in the divisional playoff round and then that 218 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: probably invite me up and then yeah, that's already got that, 219 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: and then you hope Green Bay beats New Orleans and 220 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: the other divisional playoffs. So you don't go to New Orleans. Instead, 221 00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: you get to play at lambeau Field. Yeah, I know 222 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: if that is tough, but I don't know. All Right, 223 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: all right, Bill, you got it figured? Super Bowl? Bill 224 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: just road, Yeah, Okay, all right, let's say, well, okay, 225 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: when we come back, we're gonna real us in.

Art Nickey, yes or Rob, either one of you. 283 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: You got some news on what's going on here with 284 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: this Cowboys team. Mick Cowboys had two workouts at linebacker. 285 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett said that they needed to do something with 286 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: the linebacker position, and they worked out two veteran guys. 287 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: They're on the street right now, which you got to say, 288 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: but that's what else would be available at this time 289 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: of the year when thirty two teams have sixty three 290 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: guys on their roster and these guys are out there. 291 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: So Malcolm Smith had played at USC and Seattle. I'm 292 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: guessing with Rochard at USC two right, Yeah, before he 293 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: got to the Seahawks, so he knows a little bit 294 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: about the former Super Bowl forty eight MVPs thirty years 295 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: old and then the other guy, twenty eight year old 296 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 1: Ray Ray Armstrong. He played with six different teams. He 297 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: was released by Cleveland after Camp. San Francisco picked him 298 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: up and then they oh no, yeah, they picked him 299 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: up and then let him go. So two guys that 300 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: are kind of out there, but they need depth with 301 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 1: the amount of injuries they have Robert Yeah, and you know, 302 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: late in the season two Smith, we'll see what they do. 303 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: But experience with Richard, I think he's one of seven 304 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: defensive players to win the Super Bowl MVP. So pick 305 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: six at Peyton Manning, that's that's impressive, but a long 306 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: time ago, but he does have familiarity in that scheme. 307 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: Gifford is looking at at surgery for the arm fracture 308 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: that could sideline him several weeks. And you know, Jason 309 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 1: Garrett said yesterday not sure about his roster spot, but 310 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: you can put him on IR and create an open 311 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: spot because you're you're hurting at linebacker right now. There's 312 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: not a definite timetable for vander esh right now with 313 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: the neck injury, and Thomas is going to try to 314 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: work through the knee thing this week. But you know, 315 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: they're they're clearly banged up and Shawn's obviously had problems 316 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: in him together from the game. Yeah, so they need 317 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 1: to they need to piece it together for Philly, right Yeah, 318 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: so we'll see if they signed one of them. They 319 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 1: the workout was this morning, all right, Rob, how many 320 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVPs from the defensive side? It was seven? 321 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: So and I know that three triggers the question how 322 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: many are Cowboys? Four? That's what is that? Right? Larry Brown? 323 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: Larry Brown, Harvey Martin and Randy White and Chuck on 324 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: the losing team losing only still the only one on 325 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: the team from a losing team. Yeah, he must have 326 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: been bawling three pigs. And that was back in before 327 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: lost the bottomore game that we should have won. Yeah, 328 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: not for Jack Fettie the referee. No, is that the 329 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: John McKee Dave Manders recovered a fumble on the goal 330 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: line and went to the Colts instead. So that's Gerald 331 00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: Brown started the weird stuff happening to the Cowboys in playoffs. Right, 332 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: that's why. Actually that ended the weird stuff. Really, No, 333 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: it's continued. We'll go taking two thousand and six. Right. 334 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: That's why. That's why I don't feel any any empathy 335 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: for the Saints. You know, they always fussing about it. 336 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: They don't get the day. We are the grandfathers of 337 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 1: bad calls. And the reason I say that that ended 338 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: is because the next year the Cowboys won the Super Bowl, 339 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: of course, and they were next year's champions from you 340 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: know through the NFL championship games against the Packers and 341 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: then playoff loss as well. Let me go back to 342 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh the Bittie Bonn's passing affairs. There you go against it? 343 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: Did start it? Come on, I'm with you, Come on, man, 344 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: it was just crazy not to mention Vince Lombardi gambling 345 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: when he should have kicked a field goal in the 346 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: Ice Bowl to tie the game and send it into overtime. 347 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: Were according to Tech shram to Tech shrams, Di, that 348 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: was the worst. That was the worst decision of any 349 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: NFL coach ever. Rob, Can you give us a report 350 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: on injury situation at this Cowboys team? The injury situation 351 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 1: and why these linebackers are in here for looks? Didn't 352 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: I just say it? Did I just break it down? 353 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 1: I think Gifford Luke Gifford, Yeah, surgery arm. Looks like 354 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 1: he's had it for surgery. Joe, he's out then, because 355 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 1: if you if you got a broken bone in your arm, 356 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 1: that's six weeks, right, how many weeks? Oh? He might 357 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: as Jack Young bug he might get back for the 358 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Yeah, so there, I am every ready to go. 359 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: I mentioned Joe Thomas, you weren't listening to earlier, was 360 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: looking at defensive I was like he was. I was 361 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: googling super Bowl MVP. So Bill the only guy I got. 362 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: I lost you, Rob when you said the defensive super 363 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: Bowl MVPs. I was I know ever you said it, 364 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: I know, drive that driving that bus. Yeah. CJ Goode. CJ. 365 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: Goodwin is had surgery yesterday on his thumb, but they 366 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: think he might be able to play this week. Can you, 367 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: as a corner, can you play with a surgically repaired 368 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 1: thumb a few days later? Yeah? You can't. Yeah yeah, 369 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: affection ball be good? No, well, well we're talking cowboy 370 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: defensive back. Oh yeah, so there's no problem we don't. 371 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 1: I mean, we could cut his hands off. I maybe 372 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: we could still play the way we play. Okay, oh wow, 373 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: we have we go out there with a handsless defensive 374 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: back and Savage just got a table. Yeah, just throw 375 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: that shell in there. Man. Good and they and they, 376 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,479 Speaker 1: by the way, they they we didn't even get to 377 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: know Cyril Grayson, but he signed Tampa Bay, so they 378 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: guess they were looking for speed down the way, so 379 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: they got two practice squad openings they do because so 380 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: there's two openings there, and then they're trying to get 381 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: somebody on the fifty three man roster. So they got 382 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: some work to do here, all right. The a couple 383 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: of guys were let around the league, Terrell Suggs picked 384 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: up by Kansas City and mister cornerback over here, Genor's 385 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,719 Speaker 1: Jenkins picked up by the New Orleans Saints. So we 386 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: were just talking about the Saints and how they rank 387 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: right up there at the top of the NFC. What 388 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: does that do to your defensive back room when let's 389 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: say you're on that team with the New Orleans Saints 390 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: and now here comes Jenora's Jenkins in the room. Well, 391 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: to me, I've always thought the defensive backs were the 392 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 1: weakness of the Saints uh defense. Period. They've always had 393 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: issues with one on one. They've been saved by that 394 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: front seven. But whenever they've gotten time, whenever the offense 395 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: has gotten time against the Saints, they have toasted their 396 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,239 Speaker 1: dbs pretty well. And Jenkins is no exception. When he 397 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: was in New York, right, we feasted on him. Jack Rabbit, Yeah, yeah, 398 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: Jack Rabbit, jenk and man he will he will bite 399 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: on a pass? Will yes, see to me that vans 400 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: offense there, that's a van the offense. I don't see 401 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: him as being an issue. And as far as the 402 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: locker room is concerned, they're probably thinking, why are you 403 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: bringing in another average player unless they have some injuries 404 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 1: and they're trying to show up their depth. You know, 405 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: he's a veteran guy. He's not going to be coming 406 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 1: in talking about riding the bench. He's probably gonna be 407 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: immediately on the third down at least a dime package. 408 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,239 Speaker 1: So they their weak spots. So Laddimore is on one side, right, 409 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: is it Elia Apples who gets picked? The guy you wanted? Williams? 410 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: Still feeling the digs play back in uh doing doing Minneapolis, 411 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,479 Speaker 1: And every time I look up, either he's there saving 412 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: grace back there or he's the guy that's getting beat 413 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: still and he's still very a young player. I think 414 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: it was third year, third year player. So the secondary, 415 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: if you're looking at the Saints, the secondary is the 416 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: weakest part of their team, and by bringing in Jack Rabbit, 417 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: they didn't improve their chances any at all. Although I 418 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: nicknamed him Olay after he laid on jar One on 419 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 1: that touchdown pass. This year, well, you can name a 420 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 1: lot of days, a lot of business decisions made out there. 421 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: All right, these Philadelphia Eagles, what is it that when 422 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: you look at what they've done the last couple of weeks, 423 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: they have come up with victories. However, the opponents have 424 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: not been the strongest. They've been playing NFC East squads 425 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: and they have squeaked out victories. What is it that 426 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: concerns you the most going up there this weekend? Momentum? Yeah, 427 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: that's it. I mean they've won regardless of who they 428 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,239 Speaker 1: played or how they played, They've been able to come 429 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: back and win. And I think that gives a team confidence. 430 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: And it isn't that weird that they finished the season 431 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: with four division opponents. Well that's the way the league 432 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: likes to do it. Yeah, but not usually it's last 433 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks and yes, yeah, just worked all Yeah. 434 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: The other problem that you have with that, it is, 435 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: you know, quarterback's going to be running the team. Carson's 436 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: feeling really good about himself. That was where I was 437 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: going to He's really good. Go ahead, Well, he was 438 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: about perfect in the fourth quarter. Against Washington, and he's 439 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: doing it with I think Mickey reference it yesterday an 440 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 1: all new receiving corps essentially Ward and those guys, because 441 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: their top three guys have all been injured at some 442 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: point in the year. Jeffrey's on IR and he's finding yeah, 443 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: Sean Jackson and they're finding a way to get it done. So, Jeffrey, 444 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: did you say Oath did you say anything about him? Yeah? Yeah, 445 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: he was out been out with me? Is he is he? 446 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. He did not play last week. Yeah, 447 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 1: but yeah, your top three receivers out, they're still getting done. 448 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: They basically used two wide receivers in the game against Washington, 449 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: Greg Ward, who two years ago was the starting quarterback 450 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: University of Houston, and J j R. Sega one. Wow, 451 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: that's who that was. Wow. That guy was good. Yeah 452 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: he's good. Yeah, yeah, and that and I know these 453 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 1: guys Cowboys liked him and weren't able to come up 454 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: with him. He caught He caught seven passes for sixty 455 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: one yards. He was the only wide receiver in the 456 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: game that had a reception. They had they had ten catches. 457 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: I went back and look, they had ten catches for 458 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: like one hundred and sixteen yards in a touchdown with 459 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: their tight ends. The tight ends, by the way, and 460 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: who did all the catching for the Rams, the tight 461 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: ends by the Oh this is this is going to 462 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: be about. And the buffalo that yesterday. The tight ends 463 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: that have gone against us, a lot of them is 464 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 1: almost career days. Yeah. Yeah, they've done things that they've 465 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: never done before just from playing against us. Now, Higbee's 466 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 1: I think seven of his eleven catches that we ended 467 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: up throwing to it. But we learned about holtz Holt 468 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: for the Bears, JP Holts. Yeah, so right for the Vikings, Yeah, yeah, 469 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: hand all of a sudden, he's going to making one 470 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: handicatches every week. That's starting with that. I don't know 471 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: where I wrote it down, but I went back to 472 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: I think the Minnesota game and counted up the catches 473 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: by running backs and tight ends, and I think I 474 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 1: for the rest of the whatever however many games that's been, 475 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 1: it was like fifty three catches, fifty three catches by tighten. 476 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 1: Get ready, there's about to be about fifty three more, right, 477 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: And they throw the ball to Smiles Sanders too. He 478 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 1: had six catches last weekend. And they've got Boston Scott 479 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: Who is there? Darren Sproles type player? Right, Who's makee? 480 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: How tall you? At least five six? Boston Scotts is shorter? 481 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: Is he is? He Beasley size? He is? He is 482 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: very short, which makes it a problem for a defense, 483 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: Savage Bill for a defense because you can't see him. Yeah, 484 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: it like to be short. You know that. I can 485 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: still take you to the basket, guarantee. God, I'd love 486 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: to see that too. Let's get it self in one 487 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: on one basketball between you two. That would be fun. Yeah, 488 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: all right, you want to go to a break, It's 489 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: up to you. All right, Let's try to get out 490 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: of the ditch when we come back.

Now? He just gets credit for the losses. Okay, 535 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: gets blamed for the losses. Yeah, the pregame talk to me, 536 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: what did they say? I mean it was a baseball story. 537 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: Apparently now the context of it, we're still trying to 538 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: dig and find out right. Yeah. I think it was 539 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: something that took place in high school, and he talked 540 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: about team about how when one side of the ball, 541 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: you know, lets down, the other sides got to pick 542 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: up and he got to play complimentary football, which is 543 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: kind of what they did. Now. You know, if that 544 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: was the solution, he should have done it. Five weeks ago. 545 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: Dak has been talking. He's Dak has used the word 546 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: complimentary or the phrase complimentary football for like two months 547 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: because that Philly game, the first Philly game, that was 548 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: the best example we've seen of it. And I think 549 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: Dak said a last couple of weeks, we just need 550 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: to be good to each other. We got to find 551 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: it ever since, you know, I mean, you got to 552 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: be able to pick each other up if one side's 553 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: not doing well. That's what we've been talking about, I know, 554 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 1: ever since I've joined the show, it's been an emphasis 555 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: on how you can't just let your offense be the 556 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: catalyst of the team. Just because the offense gets off 557 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: to a slow start doesn't mean the defense point And 558 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: I've always said the defense has to be the catalyst 559 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: for any type of success, any type of attitude shown 560 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: during the ball game. They set the tone. We've always 561 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: been this team ever since we've had this makeup with 562 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: this great offensive line. You know, then here comes Ze, 563 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: here comes Dad. We've always accepted the fact that offensively 564 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 1: we control the pace of the game. I've just never 565 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: been a fan of that. It's fun to watch. But 566 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: you know that eventually defensives are gonna figure you out. 567 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: I played defense. I've been with some great defensive coaches. 568 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: Eventually you play three games, man, that's great. All of 569 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: a sudden, those three games are going to be combined 570 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: into a quality of control reel. And they've got great 571 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 1: coaches and quality of control people that says this is 572 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: the antidote to what they're doing. Especially now with technology. 573 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: You I mean, you got a better read on anybody 574 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: than you ever used to. And like the O seven 575 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: Pats that were putting up forty points a game, by 576 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: the time they got to December, that points per game 577 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 1: was shrinking a little bit. So too. Yeah, they get 578 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: paid too, especially if you send a film crew of 579 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: up into the press box. Yea, they are really good. 580 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 1: YEA from the clouds, just savage, savage. Why would you 581 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: do that against the Bengals Because you have to get 582 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: prepare for my Jets, make sure the Bengals without doing that. 583 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: Look at how they prepare for the Jets. After the 584 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: Jets beat us, they just went into a tack mode 585 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: and like we're going to make sure, we're going to 586 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: devour sounds. Like if you look at the video that 587 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: they had to turn in that basically was on the 588 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 1: sideline and focusing writing on the coach's hand signals, that 589 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: just lets you know, God Beletshake leaves no stone. Should 590 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:20,399 Speaker 1: we compliment him for that? If you're a defensive player, Yeah, 591 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: that's great. Right, we're gonna check every box, So he 592 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: gets credit for that. Even if they send guys that 593 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: don't know anything about football to go cover substory right 594 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: and selectually, would he be like the what gay Lord 595 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 1: Perry of Yeah, that's good, all right? Cowboys run game. 596 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: There's there's talk about so much talk, and deservedly so, 597 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 1: on the performance of Tony Pollard in the game with 598 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty one yards rushing. Zeke had one 599 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 1: hundred and seventeen. This is what you want in your 600 00:35:56,239 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 1: running game. Okay, you got Zeke, But I hear a 601 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: certain narrative out there that, well, then why did you 602 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: pay Zeke all that money, if you got Tony Pollard 603 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: here and give Tony Pollard more touches and so forth. 604 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard is a compliment, yes to Zeke. The reason 605 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 1: it works, it's complimentary foot compliment. Very good, there we go. 606 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: What what you have is a a a defense that 607 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: a customed to. And as well I pointed out yesterday, 608 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: just the the what what he was. Zeke was running 609 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,920 Speaker 1: as if he was a battering ram, you know. So 610 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 1: now you've got so to speak against the ram. So 611 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 1: very good. Once again, Well you went on it, and 612 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 1: I see I'm too close to the tree, see far 613 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,840 Speaker 1: enough for way to all of this. But what you 614 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 1: have is that the change of pace. Yes, that can 615 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 1: really confuse and keep a defense, you know, off balance. 616 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: But I don't care what kind of running back you 617 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: bring in. If that offensive line doesn't give your running 618 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: backs the opportunity to change pace, doesn't give Zeke the 619 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: optunity to be that battering ram, then it's all or not. 620 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: Ze can be as stronger run as he wants to be. 621 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 1: If there's no creeks there for him, if there's no 622 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: parting of the waves, then he's not going to be 623 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: as effective. So let's just say what it is. When 624 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 1: that offensive line is playing. You could put spags back 625 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,840 Speaker 1: then and you're gonna get some yards. They that's just 626 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 1: the way it is. That offensive line dominated the way 627 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: they should have. And I hope they continued it because 628 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: we talked about two weeks ago. I believe I said 629 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 1: that's how you play playoff football. We don't want to 630 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:35,800 Speaker 1: pass the ball all over the place. We want to 631 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 1: win ugly with good defense and a good running again, 632 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: you know, and Pollard would he have one hundred and 633 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,320 Speaker 1: is right the team. So he had three carries for 634 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,959 Speaker 1: one hundred and two, by the way, so it wasn't 635 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 1: like he was battering in there. He busted some big 636 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 1: not one of them oftened them up really good. And 637 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 1: one of them is at the end of the game. 638 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 1: I would imagine the Ram we'll take them off, we'll 639 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: take them on count right, and they had a trouble 640 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:02,839 Speaker 1: getting him on the ground. And I wonder how many 641 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: mistackles the Rams have had. You know, when the Cowboys 642 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 1: have nineteen, it's a national story. I would imagine the 643 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,439 Speaker 1: Rams had about fifteen in that game, and about four 644 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 1: on one of Powler's runs. And we talk about how 645 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: this guy could run through tackles for such a small player. 646 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: We need him in space. Remember we talked about sometimes 647 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: Zeke might need the rest. You want to throw that 648 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 1: ball out there, don't put your running back in the slot. 649 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 1: Put him out here on the end where you can 650 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,240 Speaker 1: get him in space against a linebacker or a strong safety, 651 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you've got a problem. You've 652 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 1: got the potential for a big play. And which is 653 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: my god, I'm looking at the videos now. Those those 654 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: some great runs, those some great runs. So getting him 655 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 1: in space, he can be extremely dangerous, more dangerous than 656 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 1: Zeke Elliot who does he remind you of them? Ah 657 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: can't catch and catching and he who haven't seen it 658 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 1: necessarily yet, but he can catch the ball out of 659 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 1: the backfield. That's where he's going to grow as much 660 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 1: as anything over the next couple of years. I say, 661 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: Marsha Folk, you know you remember out of the draft 662 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 1: who Stephen said he wasn't as good, but he's that 663 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 1: type of player. It was Elvin Kamara. That's exactly who. 664 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: That's exactly who I was thinking. That's high praise for 665 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: both when you saw what the Saints had with Ingram 666 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 1: and Kamara and now they have with Otavius Murray and Kamara. Okay, 667 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: you know, but we haven't seen him as much of 668 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 1: the receiver as we have a complimentary like everyson's talking 669 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,840 Speaker 1: about complimentary runner. But at Memphis he was largely a 670 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: wide receiver in some respects and some of the routes 671 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: that he ran. So he had Darrell Henderson, who's now 672 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,439 Speaker 1: a backup running back with the Rams, who was their 673 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 1: battering ram, I guess at Memphis. And but yeah, okay, 674 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,240 Speaker 1: so tell me this, Everson. As far as a rookie 675 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,279 Speaker 1: coming in, Okay, how much do you expect, even at 676 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,319 Speaker 1: the running back position. Now, running backs usually can make 677 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 1: a quicker transition than other positions. But how much do 678 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,280 Speaker 1: you expect first half of first year from a rookie 679 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,760 Speaker 1: running back? Oh, I wouldn't expect much, especially playing behind 680 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 1: someone like Zeke Elliott. But second half of rookie year. 681 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 1: Now he's so to speak into his sophomore season, Well, 682 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,919 Speaker 1: let's look at how many opportunities he's gonna get. Let's 683 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 1: look at how not the quantity of the opportunity, but 684 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 1: the quality of his opportunities. Now he's getting a chance 685 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 1: to run the ball hopefully because either Zeke Ellie got hurt, 686 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 1: so he's a great backup position, you know, depending on 687 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 1: who you're starting running back is. But you have to 688 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,279 Speaker 1: look at what position your team is is in as well. 689 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 1: Do they have the opportunity to put him in and 690 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,360 Speaker 1: make him effective? And so the Cowboys have the luxury 691 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 1: to where yeah, you can. He's he can be effective 692 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: even behind Zeke Elliott, who you would think is going 693 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 1: to carry all the load all year long going for 694 00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 1: his thousand yards plus. Yeah. Sure, fans are asking why 695 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,360 Speaker 1: haven't they seen more of number twenty this year? And 696 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: that's kind of what I'm getting at with that question, is, Okay, 697 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 1: it takes some time to make the transition. I think 698 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,920 Speaker 1: it does. And there have been a lot of situations 699 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 1: in games where they haven't gotten the running game going 700 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,719 Speaker 1: like they'd want to, and you want to give Zeke 701 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 1: an opportunity to get rolling a little bit. And the 702 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,279 Speaker 1: times that you've seen Tony really involved is when they've 703 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 1: had leads and now you can like impose your will 704 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 1: and now you're really the running game really comes into 705 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,880 Speaker 1: effect and you're able to spell him. That's that's when 706 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,320 Speaker 1: you've really seen when you look at the games we've lost, 707 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,960 Speaker 1: I don't think he's been effective at all. I could 708 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,240 Speaker 1: be wrong about it. Yeah, he doesn't think he's been effective. 709 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,840 Speaker 1: He remember he had the sprained ankle, so he didn't 710 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,399 Speaker 1: play in the two games ago bears right, right, Um, 711 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 1: he's over that, you know. And and I think that 712 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,319 Speaker 1: he had twenty three carries, So that was his most 713 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:58,320 Speaker 1: carries since the first and third game of the season 714 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:03,440 Speaker 1: those blowout, right, well, this was some he had chance. 715 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: He had significant carries though, when you know, getting both 716 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: of them. I think the position he plays and the 717 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 1: things they want to do with them is not a 718 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,399 Speaker 1: traditional running back. So maybe it's more complicated to get 719 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,200 Speaker 1: him into the passing party or the Cowboys are still 720 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,400 Speaker 1: trying to get Zeke more involved in the past, so 721 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 1: you can't say you have to have the opportunity to 722 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,000 Speaker 1: do that. The fact that he's even dis effective behind 723 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: the Zeke Elliott who okay, well Tony Pola wants to 724 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 1: do that, so the Zeke right, and Zeke deserves to 725 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 1: do this. See think about this and think about this offense. 726 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 1: So and they want to get Jarwin more involved, Cooper 727 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: more about and don't forget about cob right the way, 728 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 1: So what do you you know that's a lot. Yeah, 729 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 1: and that's why they're leading the league in total offense. 730 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 1: They do absolutely love his potential. Front office. They think 731 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,279 Speaker 1: he's I mean, obviously Zeke two. They wouldn't have paid 732 00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 1: Zeke they want and that's to deliver because we got 733 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,919 Speaker 1: to keep going back to Zeke. Right, But he's still 734 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:03,800 Speaker 1: the engine for this thing, clearly because we saw it 735 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:05,920 Speaker 1: the other night. Did see him on the field a 736 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,160 Speaker 1: little bit again once again together and Zeke through a 737 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,439 Speaker 1: great block down field the spring spring Pollard that maybe 738 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: you can see more of that. Maybe that's a way 739 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 1: to get him both involved at the same time. Herschel 740 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:20,200 Speaker 1: and Tony Right, No, don't do not, do not. I 741 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 1: go back. I go back more too, and throw it 742 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 1: at you if you bring up Herschel one more time, 743 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 1: how about Doorset and Quston Pearson And that's that's okay, 744 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 1: that's we'll win the Super Bowls then see you at 745 00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,799 Speaker 1: least going to the championship. Okay, here's what I want 746 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 1: out of Pollard. I want him. I don't care if 747 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,360 Speaker 1: the ball's five yards deep in the end zone. I 748 00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,480 Speaker 1: want to see him come out with a kickoff return. 749 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 1: I don't want to see no more Satan size do 750 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 1: just let him come out. Okay, I want to see it. 751 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:56,759 Speaker 1: He did, just with Murphy's locker. Might come right right right? 752 00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 1: Or like yeah, Dunbar gone, Remember Lance Dunbar in New Orleans. 753 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,239 Speaker 1: Ye brought that one out and tore his knee up. 754 00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 1: And so Mickey ends this position of talking Cashell Walker Dubar. 755 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,080 Speaker 1: We got to get out of here and we'll talk 756 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:20,600 Speaker 1: at you getting tomorrow. This has been a production of 757 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
