I'm sad that even though we can 28 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: watch the original, you know, like you see a movie 29 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: and you like it, and you kind of wish there 30 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: was a sequel, even though it won't be as good. 31 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: You just want to see more. You're talking about Cowboys 32 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: versus Indie. No, No, that one was like Rocky five 33 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: to me, bad I didn't happen. Um No. I think 34 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: the video that Kent did with the with Jason Garrett 35 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: talking to the kids last year, and I don't think 36 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna do it again. And I'm sad about that. 37 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: But I understand when it's really good, you don't want to, 38 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: you know, but I wish there would be another one. 39 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: You know. I will say this, though, I don't think 40 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: there's anything wrong with kind of Resurfacing's fine. I was 41 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: pretty I'll go back and watch a movie. I'm the 42 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: I'm the exact opposite of you, Like I don't I 43 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: hate sequels, Like I can only think of like two 44 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: or three that are good because, like you, just you 45 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: don't need to beat a good idea into the ground 46 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: till it's not good anymore. Just reflect on the old 47 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: one that was great. Like you can go watch the 48 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett Christmas video whenever you want, or no, I know, 49 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: but like or any or I'm trying to think of 50 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: a you know, we don't need to see another lethal weapon. 51 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: You can just go watch the great original one. I 52 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: get a Rocky you did need to see Rocky three? 53 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: You did need to see Rocky flour. I mean that 54 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: might be like, Okay, there's something something about guys from 55 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: y'all's generation like Rocky, Like well, I don't know why 56 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: y'all love Rocky so much? Great you know anyways, But 57 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: I will say this, A couple of weeks ago, I 58 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: thought about that video and I was sitting there in 59 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 1: Garrett's press conference. It's like a Friday. It wasn't one 60 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: of his best and I started thinking about that video 61 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: and like you can make almost any answer, and I'm 62 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: in the back like laughing, and one of the PR 63 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: guys is like laughing, like like looking at me. I'm 64 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: just like because Garrett says something about, you know, he 65 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: works really well in groups, you know, valuable part of 66 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: our football team. That could be any anything, but it 67 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: was like, it just works really really well. You know, 68 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: he's not he doesn't get a lot of the spotlight. 69 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, like the question of like what do 70 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: you think about you know, Blitzen, you know what type 71 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: of reindeers heaters? Just like doesn't get a lot of pup, 72 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: really doesn't. And I just start laughing. But he's about 73 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: he's been on a team for a long time. He's 74 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: been a valuable member of this team for a long time. 75 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: Was talking about like Damien Wilson or something like we'll 76 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: let him join in our reindeer games. Exactly. All right, 77 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: let's get to it. We got a lot of different 78 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: things we want to hit today. I do have a 79 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: big topic I want to hit a little bit late. 80 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: I want to talk about this quarterback and really talk 81 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: about quarterbacks around the NFC. I think that's something that 82 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: we haven't really talked much about. Can I just say yay, 83 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: all right? Good arguing about Dak my favorite thing to do. 84 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: Before we get there, though, I would like to talk 85 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: a little bit about Jason. I'm sorry about Jerry Jones. 86 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: He had a conversation here in the local radio station, 87 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: the Fan that he does every Tuesday morning, and this 88 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: morning had a couple of things that he hit that 89 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: I want us to talk about. First talk called Charlton. 90 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: He's been an inactive for the last two weeks, even 91 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: though he's been healthy for the last two weeks. And 92 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: I'll start the discussion for those who really aren't kind 93 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: of don't know what's going on here. Can you give 94 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: people a sense as to why. I know it's not 95 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: completely known why, but what are the things you've heard 96 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: and what do you think is going on here as 97 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: to why this guy's been inactive for two weeks when 98 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: he's been healthy. Well, Number one, he's not producing. I 99 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: mean that's what it comes in practice him, I mean 100 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: mainly in the games. I mean he doesn't does he 101 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: have one sack or something like that? I mean, is 102 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: that appreciably different than what you've gotten from Randy Gregory. 103 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory's got yes, five sacks, yes, And Randy Gregory 104 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,679 Speaker 1: is second on the team in quarterback pressures behind DeMarcus 105 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: Lawrence and not by all, not a lot actually, And 106 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: so he does get pressure and he and he's a 107 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: little bit more active now he's a penalty machine. We 108 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: know that. I mean, and in opportunity times, very very 109 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: bad times. But um yeah, I think I think you're 110 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: getting more from him. I mean, with with those numbers 111 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: be the same. I guess the way I should have 112 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: asked that is, do you think that if Taco would 113 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: have had the same opportunities because Taco's miss games, Yeah, 114 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: you'd think if he'd had the same opportunities, maybe he 115 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: has the same kind of conduction at Randy R I don't. Actually, 116 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: the thing about it is is want to compare Taco 117 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: to anybody would be Duran's armstrong and their numbers are 118 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: very comparable. And I think that's the problem is that 119 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: you know, he's a rookie, fourth Rount pick, tackles the 120 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: second year more expectations, and I just don't think that 121 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: he's he's done much. And you know, we saw this 122 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: last year or was it two years ago or seven, 123 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: I don't remember, but you know, Benson Mayowell was a 124 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: guy that they had some high hopes for and they're 125 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: not afraid to put him in an inactive healthy scratch. 126 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: We don't one hundred percent and know the details, and 127 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: that's by design. They try to keep that stuff in 128 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: house as much as they can. But it's pretty obvious 129 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: that Taco has drawn the ire of this coaching staff. 130 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: Whether that's certainly, production is part of it, because if 131 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: you're just getting, if you're racking up sacks, nobody cares. 132 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: I mean, that's line one. But he's not. And so attitude, 133 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: maybe entitlement, maybe you know, first round pick, maybe feel 134 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: like he's a little bit too big for his britches. 135 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: Rod Marinelli had this to say. Somebody asked him about Charlton. 136 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: This was before the Colts game. He said, well, we 137 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: just keep moving along like well okay, he said, he said, 138 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: it's it's kind of been out there. It's not something 139 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 1: I want to talk about. I'll just leave it at that. 140 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: I'd rather talk about our guys, our two tackles, Daniel 141 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: Ross and um and Antoine Woods or excuse me, Mollie Collins. Yeah, no, 142 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: his his unwillingness to talk about it speaks enough. He's 143 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: talking about two guys that are kind of you know, 144 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: under the radar type guys that are playing really well, 145 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: working hard, hustling, which is his big thing, right, which 146 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: again you know, I don't want to put words in 147 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: Taco Charlton's mouth. I want to be careful about that. 148 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: But like I said, whether it's entitlement, you know, first 149 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: round pick, thinking he's better or more deserving than he is. 150 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: Whether it's attitude, maybe you know, Randy Gregory's taking snaps 151 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: away from him in the game plan and he thinks 152 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: that's BS. I don't know, but I would guess it 153 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: is something related to that, and it has clearly pissed 154 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: the coaching staff off. Jason Garrett two weeks in a row, 155 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: has said we want them to earn the opportunity, which 156 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: to say that about a first round pick is just 157 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: not good. You would assume that that he's going to 158 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: do that regardless, because he should be one of the 159 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: most talented guys in that rotation just by virtue of 160 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: being the twenty eighth overall pick. Which the interesting thing 161 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: again this is just me completely speculating, but I feel 162 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: like I have a pretty good idea of how things 163 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: work in this organization. So this is the coaches, they 164 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: take his jersey away from him two games in a row. 165 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: And you know, Jerry and Stephen Jones sit in on 166 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: these meetings every Monday, and the coach and it's it's 167 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: so funny, like you can hear these talking points. Case 168 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: in point, yesterday Jason Garrett said to us, you know, 169 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: in the side after his press conference, He's like, well, 170 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: this game kind of reminded me a little bit of 171 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: the Tennessee game, and here's why. And that literally like 172 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: at the same time, Stephen Jones goes on the fan 173 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: and he's like, well, this game kind of reminded me 174 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: of the Tennessee game and here's why. So you know 175 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: they have the same reasons, yeah, exact of course. And 176 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: they have these you know, they have these staff meetings. 177 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: They go over the game, the coaches give their grades, 178 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: they talk this is what went wrong, this is what 179 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: went well, and you know, the front office offers their 180 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: ideas and it all kind of comes together to a 181 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: talking point or a game plan for the coming week. 182 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: And for Jerry Jones to come on here today and say, well, 183 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 1: you know, you look back and maybe talk should have 184 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: had a jersey, that's to me that suggests like, well, 185 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: all right, I'm going along with what you're saying. Coaching staff, 186 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: Like I hear you're like, you're not happy with Taco. Great, 187 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: he's a first round pick. I am. I'd kind of 188 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: like to see him if I'm paying this guy. And 189 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: by the way, the results this last week suggested that 190 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: you could use help. Yeah, Like, I don't know if 191 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: he's gonna be the help, but he's what you got. 192 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: He's a first round pick. You could have used help 193 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: this week. Maybe you need to get him out there. 194 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: And I think that's that's Jerry Jones's gentle way of saying, like, ah, 195 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: I don't know how I feel about sitting this out there. Yeah, yeah, 196 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: one out there and he's been out now for two games, 197 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: and you know, and they've been winning. You know, it's 198 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: one thing to pull pull him out, and that's not 199 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: doing anything, and he's hurt and he's you know, and 200 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: this team's having success. But it's like, okay, you know, 201 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: it's a wake up call. I think I think he 202 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 1: should get the message loud and clear. Let's see how 203 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: he plays after that. And if I remember Nawa, I mean, 204 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: I say this because here's a guy that they had 205 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: some high hopes for they draft. I mean they signed 206 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 1: him as a free agent restricted free agent and gave 207 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 1: him some money, and then they benched him, and then 208 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: he came back and he might have led the team 209 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: in sacks. He might have I mean six. I mean 210 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: it's not a lot, but he had six. I think. 211 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: So I think they're wanting to see what Taco does 212 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 1: as they come back, and you know, all eyes will 213 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: be on him. I will say, I think we all 214 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: know by by now, Rod Marinelli carries a pretty big 215 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: stick around here, you know, I mean his philosophies and 216 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: his desire. Yeah, and it drives their draft, their drafting, 217 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: their decision making there. So I'll be curious to see. 218 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: I mean if if Rod Marinelli is just absolutely not 219 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: having it, He's like, I don't want to play this guy, 220 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: and this guy's more deserving. Like what wins out there, 221 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: it's it's a little mini storyline to watch in this game, 222 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: and I don't for the most part, Jerry wins. Yeah 223 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: nobly of course, of course he can be convinced, but 224 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: don't convince him ultimately, right, yeah, like t O like 225 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: he he won, you know, well, he won in his lead, 226 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: but eventually he had to go right, yeah, but I 227 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: mean Parcels didn't want him, and what Parcels that was 228 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: here when he was cut? But when he was cut though, 229 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: Gary notoriously lights on the napkin. Yeah, I love you, 230 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: but you gotta go, bro. No, I know, I'm just saying, 231 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: you know what, He's always said that too. If you've 232 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: heard this a thousand times. If there's a tie, break 233 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: break it right, yeah, which and yeah, obviously break it 234 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: amongst yourselves. If not, I break it here we go. 235 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: So and I don't know, it's an interesting subplot to 236 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: this game, which I mean, even if he plays, I 237 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: don't I don't really believe he's gonna like take over 238 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: the game. That's my question. Do you think he can help? 239 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: Right now? Do you think that do you think that 240 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 1: he having another pass rusher can help? And even if 241 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: and I don't want you to get too far to this, 242 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: because we're gonna talk about this next defensive tackle position, 243 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: but do you think that he could help? And that 244 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: gives you a little more flexibility to flexibility with Crawford 245 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: to where he's spending a little bit more time and 246 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: tackle than an end. He helps. I mean, it's like 247 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: a taco, you know, get full on one taco. You 248 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: have to get something to how big it is, right, 249 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 1: nobody orders a taco. No one does one time. That's 250 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: pretty true. Right to get at least two you get 251 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: to get because you want the variety, three kinds of time. 252 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: It comes with something else. Right, most things that you 253 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 1: order comes like with a taco, which is good. It's 254 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: a complimentary thing. That's what you need, be complimentary. Are 255 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: you just selling me taco will never be the man 256 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: because you just can't have just one taco. Well, I 257 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: feel I've been shown you that he's going to be 258 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: the main course of anything. No, I've been holding out, hope, 259 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: I've I've been Hey, I'm I'm the chief taco defender. 260 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: Like I'm even back to draft before the draft, like 261 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: you know everybody you know he doesn't have the raw 262 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: athleticism of a Randy Gregor skin sweater. This is I 263 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: get notre damn usually when I wear this. Either way, 264 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: I defended him all you say, like, Okay, he's not 265 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: he's not this just raw athlete, but he's he can 266 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: play the position. Like you're not gonna get fifteen sack 267 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: guy at the twenty eighth overall pick. He can do this, 268 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 1: He can do that. I mean I have to fess 269 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: up and say I haven't seen it, and he would 270 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: help just in the sense that he's another pass rusher 271 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: in uniform. But he hasn't made an impactful play it 272 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: seems like since September. So I have a hard time 273 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: buying it right now. Did Byron Jones have a player 274 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: that was drafted around him that the Cowboys were like, man, 275 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: they should have taken him. I mean, it always sucks 276 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: to have a guy like Taco does that same position. Well, actually, 277 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: what right? Yoh yeah, yes, they could have had t J. Watt. 278 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: So he has eleven sacks right now, and gosh, how 279 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: much better would this defense be right now? You got 280 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 1: also factor in he's doing that a three four defense 281 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: where he's playing outside, and that was a different thing. 282 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 1: The whole reason, the whole reason he's not here is 283 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: because they didn't think he could do that, right which 284 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: who knows. I kind of think he could have. Maybe 285 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 1: he could have. I'm just saying that needs to be noted, 286 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: that that is a difference. To be fair. Um, the 287 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: guy that got pegged with Byron a lot uh. We 288 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: talked about Nelson Aghalore the Eagles took him instead, but 289 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: then and I don't really he wasn't on the Cowboys radar, 290 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: but Landon Collins was taken five picks later, so he 291 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 1: should have saved somebody life safety issues. There's always there's 292 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: if you look, If you look, you can find a 293 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: guy that's balling out five spots after you. And it's 294 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: probably every pick for every scene. Like you go to 295 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: third round, there's somebody that was selected after your gay 296 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: although round where you like that guy, I really better. 297 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: I do think the Watt Taco thing is a little unique. 298 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: It's the same position, it was the same range, the 299 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: different kind of players. Sure, but I mean that's that's 300 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: on your scouting department to say. I mean, I don't 301 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: know you've been preaching that one for a couple of 302 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: your apps. I mean we we don't know for sure 303 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: that Watt would excel as a four three down end, 304 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: but I bet you he'd have made more plays in 305 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: the last thirty games and the other parts that too, 306 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: may he made more play, he'd make more plays as 307 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: a pass rusher, but on those rundowns he gets blasted 308 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: off the line, so you can't really use him the 309 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: way you want to use him in a four three 310 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: defense or defense plays a lot of nickel, those kinds 311 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: of things. All I'm saying is because there are different players, 312 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: it's hard to make that comparison, But it certainly is 313 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: hard to look up there and see those loving sacks 314 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: and be like, youth made a right decision. Do you 315 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: think they have a three or four knows because about 316 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: three or four weeks ago, I don't know if we did. 317 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: But Antoine, yeah, Antwinka play it trying to why you 318 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: why are you trying to do? He's been doing this 319 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: for the last couple of years. I know. I remember 320 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: he was on that kick at the end of last year, 321 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: like I didn't have a note, got everything they need, 322 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: I didn't have one.

It's the second segment of The Break Life 381 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: from the s WBC Mortgage studios. At the start, sometimes 382 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: I wish you guys could just hear the kind of 383 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: stuff we talk about in the Break. It varies. Sometimes 384 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: it's about the politics. Yeah. Sometimes, well every once in 385 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: a while, we've had a couple though it does vary. 386 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: But hey, we had one. Yeah, oh no, we had 387 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: like we were a little worried that it got on air, right, 388 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: you weren't here here. Me Ag and Nick like just 389 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: had a very civil, intelligent, productive political conversation, which is 390 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: what doesn't happen in America. I know that's what I'm saying. 391 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, we're different opinions too. Yeah, 392 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: well no, man, not really, because it's civil. When everybody agrees, 393 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, people disagree, that comes very uncivil. So it's 394 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: always different. But I'm always glad that it's not going 395 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: out over the air. Usually. Whatever we're talking about, hopefully 396 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: Ken keeps us safe. Ken, he's our offense. All right, 397 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: let's let's jump back in defensive tackles um last week. No, 398 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: I don't think it's any any stretch to say that 399 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: they struggled last week. You just look at how the 400 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Cults were able to run the ball, particularly up 401 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: the middle. It was play after play where they were 402 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: just basically gashing the Cowboys defensive front. A lot of 403 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: that was because defensive tackles were getting moved around, weren't 404 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 1: able to get off blocks, and that was in some instances, 405 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: I think even exposing the linebackers in a way to 406 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: where offensive line we're getting to the second level really 407 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 1: really quick and being able to wash those linebackers out. 408 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: And the one thing we know about those two linebackers 409 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: is I think they are really good when they are 410 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: able to be athletic and just fly to the ball. 411 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: They weren't able to do that. So all being said, Um, 412 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 1: Jerry talked this morning on the radio show. He said, Uh, 413 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: David Irving is is a guy that he expects to 414 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: play for the season is over. There's only two more games, 415 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: so the expectation is that he should be back this 416 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: week or next week would be my assumption based on 417 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: what Jerry said. You got there? What what do you 418 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: what do you think you're working something up here? What? Well? 419 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: First of all, I mean he could be talking about 420 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 1: the playoffs. He didn't say regular season. Yeah, he just 421 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: said this year, so season. He could be talking about 422 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 1: the playoffs. And also that that has officially entered. Believe 423 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: it when I see a territory and that I mean Jerry. 424 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: Jerry has always kind of been more on the like 425 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: pro David Irving side, like we're gonna get him out 426 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: there play well. Of course, Yeah, he loves his players, 427 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. Yeah. And this kind of 428 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 1: goes back to what we were talking about with Taco 429 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 1: is you know, are the are the coaches and him 430 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: on the same page with that, because just because Jerry 431 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,640 Speaker 1: wants to see it doesn't mean it's gonna happen, which 432 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: I clearly he's the owner. We talked about less. He 433 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: definitely has that ability. But this just feels different. I mean, 434 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: we've talked we haven't seen David Irving. He hasn't. Untrue, 435 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 1: he's around here. We haven't seen him off on them 436 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: on the field. We haven't seen him on the field, 437 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: like we haven't seen him as much as we've seen 438 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: other guys like he just he is. The last couple 439 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: of weeks, I've started to see him around the building more, 440 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: a little bit more. It. Yeah, it's not. It's not 441 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: following the script that other absences following, Like he's not 442 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: out there with the trainers. He's not. You don't see him, 443 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: you know, Tavon Austen him has been at practice every 444 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 1: flipping day since he got hurt. Gonna be out there dance, Yeah, sure, Hey, 445 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: you gonna make all the tongue and sheet comment comments 446 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: you want. But like, I'm good for him that he's 447 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: out there. I get part of it, you know, I 448 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: agree with this. So that hasn't been the good for 449 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: him because we're getting we get railed here, here we 450 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: go sometimes and brought us set at one time. Wasn't 451 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: about Tavon. It was about a player who's not here anymore. 452 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: And the guy had been hurt like all the time, 453 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: was at training camp and he was just like walking 454 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: by our tent and Brons was sitting there and he 455 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: looked at this guy and he's just like, you know, 456 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: he was like, right in the middle of practice, he 457 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: walks off because you know he's been in practice. He 458 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I practicing, and Brian goes. You ever 459 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: see those guys just feel like, you know, they're really 460 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: excited about being hurt. You know, they're just like this 461 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: is good, this is this is the life, just rehab, 462 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: here's the thing. And I feel like Tavon is really 463 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 1: excited about being hurt. I don't get it. I don't 464 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: I don't buy it. And that's this. I I take 465 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: that type of stuff a little bit personally because the 466 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 1: manner in which I carry myself often suggests that I 467 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 1: don't give a damn either. You know, but that couldn't 468 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: be further from the truth. You are you being sarcastic. Yeah, 469 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: that's so. I don't want to I don't want to judge. 470 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to judge that, like, he's a happy 471 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: guy who likes to dance, and that doesn't mean that 472 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: he's happy about it not. That's actually a great point, 473 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: because it is a great is a great point. But Okay, 474 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: you're right, you would be right on this situation if 475 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: he doesn't gyrate for the last six weeks with a 476 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: groin injury dancing. If you have a growing injury that 477 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: are you sure that that gyration football requires us to 478 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: the groin? Yes, you're positive, Yes you think, positive, you 479 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: think And I'm not gonna mimic the moves. No, I 480 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: don't want to demonstrate. Do you think, Oh, everybody just 481 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: flocked their screens to see this black do you think 482 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: on the table dancing Twitter? There was a video from 483 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: the bleacher. The only thing I saw was the movement 484 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: of the leg, the movement of the arm dancing. I 485 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: don't know that the groin was necessarily involved. Dancing. Thing 486 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: starts there still, dancing still in the stretch line is 487 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: different from trying to capture the corner against a safety. 488 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: That's not That's just not the same. Great point. This 489 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 1: isn't even what we were talking about. I don't point 490 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: point being it's a Gumbo show. We can do this, 491 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: David just I'm in the driver's seat. I mean, you're 492 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: in the driver's seat in the front. I just take 493 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: the wheel. Sometimes. I gotta see David Irving doing something 494 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: football related before I believe that it's happening. And Jason 495 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: Garrett kind of downplayed the thought of him practicing yesterday, 496 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: so that doesn't give me confidence he'll be ready for 497 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: the Bucks. Then there's only one more game, so but 498 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: I mean that game's not gonna matter if this is 499 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: gonna happen. This is just a prediction on my part, 500 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: But if this is gonna happen, it's gonna be they 501 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: win a playoff game and they're in like the divisional 502 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: round and all of a sudden he's here and everybody's 503 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: just jacked and like, oh my god. And then he 504 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: plays like eight snaps. Yeah, he plays like eight snaps 505 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: against the Saints. Like that's my prediction for how this 506 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: goes back to the defensive tackle conversation. Then do you 507 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: think that, and this takes us back again to the 508 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: defensive end conversation, is that the reason why maybe you 509 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 1: need to get more from tackle at least get him 510 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: into the game and into the rotation so that you 511 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: can get a little more experience and reinforcement at the 512 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: defensive tackle position. Again, that's if you think that what 513 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: we saw sun was more than an aberration, because it 514 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: could be a situation where that was just a poor game. 515 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 1: We've already said that that defense. I don't think overall 516 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: that's how that defense is going to perform going forward. 517 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: But if you don't believe that, if you do believe 518 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: that's a sign of maybe things to come, he probably 519 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: need to show up your defensive tackle position and there 520 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: may not be another option to be able to do 521 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 1: that other than Tyron Crawford, right right, which means then 522 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 1: trickles down right. Yeah. And that's the thing about Taco. 523 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: He when he was playing well, he was doing pretty 524 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: good as a run stopper and not just as a 525 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: as a rusher. So yeah, I mean, I think you 526 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: would like to have him there, and I think Tyrone 527 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: Crawford is better in the middle of the field. One 528 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: of their best plays of the season was a goal 529 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: line stand on Kamara, and you know, a lot of 530 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: a lot of the players did a nice job there. 531 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence might have gotten the tackle, he got the 532 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: tackle because Tyron Crawford was Stonewall Jackson right in the 533 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: middle there and just not it wasn't going anywhere historical reference. 534 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 1: What happened. Those other linebackers did a nice job of 535 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: feeling Tyron Crawford made the play. I think when he's 536 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: playing tackle, I think that's their best line. Yeah, I 537 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: really do. I think with Woods Crawford and then Lawrence 538 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: and Gregory when he's not making penalties, Lawrence and Charlton, 539 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 1: I just I have no choice but to look at 540 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 1: it as an aberration. And maybe it wasn't, but I'm 541 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: looking at it right now. Okay, these are These are 542 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: the rushing offenses the Cowboys have played this year. Number 543 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 1: one Seattle, number three, Carolina, number five, Tennessee, number six, Houston, 544 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: number eight, New Orleans, and then the next one's number seventeen, Washington. 545 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: Did you see a pattern there? They're all No, the Colts, 546 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: They're all except for one, were losses. Okay, I will 547 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: counter that though they played really well against most of those. 548 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: I get that, and that's fine. I'm just saying a 549 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 1: common thread there is. At the end of the day, 550 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: all those teams except for one, ended up being lost. 551 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: But I really think. I think the Colts ability to 552 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: run the ball was a big part of the reason 553 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 1: why the Cowboys lost that game. That was the only 554 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 1: game this year other than maybe Seattle, where the running 555 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: game really killed them. Like it was a reason why 556 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: I would I would argue Carolina cam killed them in 557 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: the first half. They buckled down, but it was killed 558 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: the big part of how they built a ten nothing 559 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: lead at halftime. Though where I mean Seattle got I 560 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: think they had like one hundred and thirty all purpose yards. 561 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: It took them like forty five carries to get there. Like, 562 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: they did not kill them. There's something to be said 563 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: for being committed to the run. Yeah, and that's what 564 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 1: Seattle has been all season. They're committed to it. But 565 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: I just you did up until Tennessee had some success. 566 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: But really, up up until this Colts game, none of 567 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: those teams were just murdering these guys the way the 568 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 1: Colts did. And that's I just chalk it up to. 569 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: And we knew the offensive line was good going in. 570 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody thought they were that good. And 571 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: then I think this this front seven just played their 572 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: worst game of the season. But I don't it's not 573 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: enough for me to just be in alarm bells, you know. 574 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: I thought, Um, the first drive of the game, they 575 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 1: got the ball like the forty after the blockfield goal 576 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: and then went down scored. We've seen that before. We've 577 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: seen Washington do that at Washington. First drive of the game. 578 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: That happens changes a little bit when you're on the 579 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: forty and I and the Cowboys got the ball back 580 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: and they were driving, and then they had that possession 581 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: with Ola Wally dropping it. I thought, I said to you, 582 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: I think they're in good shape. I think this. I thought, 583 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: I see what Marinelli will do. He will fix that stuff. 584 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 1: And they're all those traps and stuff in the middle 585 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: of they'll they'll they'll shore that up. They'll be fine. 586 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: And that didn't happen. They drove down again and again, 587 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: and they got better than the third quarter of that 588 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: first drive. I mean, that was the one that was 589 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: really alarming. You would think the Cowboys needing the stop 590 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: coming in after the break and they got gashed again, 591 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: and I thought, wow, this is this is not what 592 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: I'm used to seeing. And this actually again Stephen Jones 593 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: and Jason Garrett both kind of touched on this. It 594 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: was a little bit reminiscent of Tennessee, Like I see 595 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: what they're talking about in the sense of you saw 596 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: what you expected to see. At the beginning of that game, 597 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: the offense was moving the ball, red zone problems. We 598 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: know that the defense they it was uncharacteristic, but they 599 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: managed to keep it within ten. And then whether it 600 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: was the drive at the end of the second or 601 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: the drive at the start of the third, either way, 602 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: I think the defense gave up a score the offense 603 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: couldn't answer, and you're just your energy level just plummeted. 604 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: I don't want to say they threw in the towel, 605 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: but they just didn't have that momentum or that spark 606 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: that they needed to keep playing that way, which is 607 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: the same thing that happened. Remember against Tennessee, they score early, 608 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: had a chance to make it like twenty one to three, 609 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: I think, did not do it, and the next thing 610 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: you know, they're just lifeless and the Titans are converting 611 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,959 Speaker 1: third down after third down after third down. I think 612 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: it was really similar in that regard. Yeah, and if 613 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: you look at it, you talk about those teams that 614 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier that the Cowboys have played that are 615 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: in the top ten in rushing. Look at the NFC 616 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: playoffs right now, all six teams that are in the 617 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: playoffs post significant challenges in the running game. You look 618 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: at obviously the New Orleans and Los Angeles rams Um, 619 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: then Chicago, and then you get to the Wildcards Seattle, 620 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: who you've already played in Minnesota, who last week showed 621 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: how powerful their running games can be. I think they 622 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: went over two hundred yards with their two backs last 623 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: with Dalvin fired their coordinator because he wouldn't run the ball, 624 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: and then they ran it. And all of a sudden, 625 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: now it's looking like it made I say that out 626 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: loud on the podcast. You know, it's exactly what happened. 627 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: You know what one thing you're looking at the playoff picture. 628 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: I understand the Cowboys have to get there, and if 629 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: they if they don't get there, then we'll be talking 630 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: about a lot more than just playoffs. But so I 631 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: do think that they're gonna be in the playoffs, you know, 632 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: and there's looks like New Orleans is going to be 633 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: the one. And so you win this game, if you 634 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: can win that game in the playoffs, you can you know, 635 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: you would think you'd play there. However, if Minnesota is 636 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: the sixth, the fact that Chicago could lose that game. 637 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 1: I think Chicago's playing well and personally at home, but 638 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: a division game, Minnesota going there, that would be the 639 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: team that could upset Chicago in my opinion, which means 640 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: they would go to the number one seed if that 641 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: is the way it shakes out. Also, but it was 642 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: a possible ability that Seattle gets jumped by Minnesota. Yes, 643 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: there is possible. Yeah, Actually, right now, Seattle would have 644 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: to lose both of these last two I started playing 645 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: around with all the different scenarios right now, those last 646 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: two spots. There are four teams that have a legitimate chance, 647 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: Like there are things you say, oh, that definitely could 648 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: happen over these last two weeks that could put UM Seattle, Minnesota, Philly, 649 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: or Washington into the playoffs. And by the way, in 650 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: all different spots between five and six. So there's no 651 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: getting right now that the Cowboys necessarily are facing Seattle 652 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: in the first round. Let's say, for example, there's a 653 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: lot of things that can happen to change that. Beating 654 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: the Rams gives the Eagles a scary, realistic chance at 655 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: made in the playoffs. So no doubt about it, which 656 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: is Seattle plays Kse this weekend too, so that's a 657 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: game that they could lose that changes everything about that 658 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: bottom part of the division. No, but what I was 659 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: gonna say is if the Vikings make the playoffs as 660 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: a six, that creates a wacky scenario where the Bears 661 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: and Vikings play twice in a row because they're their 662 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: Week seventeen opponents. So that that's just a guarantee for 663 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: something whacky to happen if they have to play. You 664 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: know what, though, I will say this about that, and 665 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: you weren't here for this in two thousand and nine, 666 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 1: but but we thought the same thing of Philadelphia. The 667 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys beat him twenty four nothing last game of the 668 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: season to cleanse the NFC East, and then they faced 669 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: him again. No one was liking that scenario at all, 670 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: and then they came whooped them bad. I mean, like 671 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: it's possible, Felix. That reminds me of the year Adrian 672 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: Peterson won MVP. He dragged the Vikings to the finish 673 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: line against the Packers in the Metrodome, just went off 674 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: and got him into the playoffs, and then they had 675 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: to go to they had played him again. The next 676 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: week as the three six and the Packers just beat 677 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: their ass. All right, let's take our final. Will come back. 678 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: I do want to talk about this quarterback situation.

I mean 752 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 1: you don't have to, no, I mean you're trying to 753 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 1: find different ways to say the same thing. It's different. 754 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: But he brought something up, and you know, we're just 755 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: we're really hoping that the Cowboys can give Taco Charlton 756 00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 1: a kick in his button. If you need a kick 757 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: in your butt, you can to Tommy John dot com 758 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 1: and upgrade your such a good pitch man utter box 759 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 1: Rico like he's all over the place now, he's just 760 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:13,360 Speaker 1: the pitch guy. I you know, speaking of Saul, I 761 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 1: said that, all right, let's jump back in when we 762 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 1: have about seven minutes left. I did want to talk 763 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 1: about the quarterback position, and I question posed to me yesterday. 764 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 1: I thought it was a good topic and I'm almost 765 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: sad that we're having to only spend seven six minutes 766 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: on it. But when you look around the NFC, and 767 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 1: I know Dak has taken quite a bit of a 768 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,720 Speaker 1: pounding and a lot of it is it's kind of deserved. 769 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 1: He hasn't played well all season. There have been lots 770 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 1: of moments in different games where he hasn't played well. 771 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 1: But all that being said, when you look around the 772 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,360 Speaker 1: NFC and you look at how those quarterbacks are performing 773 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 1: outside of Drew Brees, and you could probably say the 774 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 1: same thing about Russell Wilson. What other quarterbacks do you 775 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:56,319 Speaker 1: think are necessarily playing better, especially right now than Dak Prescott. Well, 776 00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,280 Speaker 1: and I'm talking about NFC guys are in the playoffs 777 00:37:58,280 --> 00:37:59,839 Speaker 1: that are projected to be in the playoffs. I mean, 778 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: right now is not a great time to have this conversation. 779 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 1: But Jared Goff has had a really nice season last 780 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: a few weeks, no, no, no suggling, and that's yeah. Well, Dak, 781 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,800 Speaker 1: you really hadn't had a great season, and over the 782 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks he had played better. So yeah, 783 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: I mean, and going into playoffs, what matters most is 784 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 1: how are you playing right now? I guess the point 785 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,800 Speaker 1: of what I'm saying and what I'm asking here is 786 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,400 Speaker 1: is there a quarterback like normally Aaron Rodgers is in 787 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 1: the playoffs and you're like, that's the problem? Yea, that 788 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 1: is your problem because he is so good that he 789 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 1: masks all the other problems that the team has. Is 790 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: there that kind of quarterback in the playoffs this year 791 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,879 Speaker 1: that you're so afraid of And I don't even want 792 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: to say it from the like, the team's not afraid 793 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,719 Speaker 1: of them, but just as a fan, you're you're you're 794 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: so apprehensive about this quarterback that that clouds everything else. No, 795 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 1: I don't think so. But I don't like your argument though, 796 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:50,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I know where you're going there, and you're 797 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,359 Speaker 1: saying not argument, it's more of a question questions there 798 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,279 Speaker 1: anyone else if if you think Dak sucks, well, a 799 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: lot of teams are dealing with quarterbacks that aren't that great. 800 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,320 Speaker 1: And I get it, But but on this on the 801 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: flip side, just by you would say I'm not worried 802 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,920 Speaker 1: about Kirk Cousins, or I'm not worried about Jared Goff 803 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 1: or Trabisky or whatever. No one's worried about Dak either. 804 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,400 Speaker 1: So they're here for another reason. The Bears are here 805 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,839 Speaker 1: for another reason. The Vikings would be here for another reason. 806 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,759 Speaker 1: The Cowboys are certainly here for another reason. So I 807 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 1: get what you're saying, and I don't think you're like, 808 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 1: how important is it really if your quarterback's not one 809 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: hundred percent? I get that, but I think that you know, 810 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: we've seen that other teams aren't going to be worried 811 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: about what Dak does either. But I guess that's where 812 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:34,879 Speaker 1: I start to, and now I will make an argument 813 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 1: there we go that I think that if you look 814 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: at it from that perspective, and you're not really worried 815 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 1: about any of these quarterbacks, then guess what what are 816 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: you worried about? Well, the run game, you would think 817 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,360 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are up there. They got the best rusher 818 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,200 Speaker 1: in the NFL as far as the number of yards 819 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,840 Speaker 1: are concerned. The defense, Cowboys are right up there with 820 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,880 Speaker 1: some of the best defenses in the league. So I 821 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,839 Speaker 1: guess what I'm kind of getting to is if all 822 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks are kind of right there not really playing 823 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 1: great other than Drew Brees and Russell Wilson, Okay, right, 824 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 1: and we've already said that's I started saying. Those are 825 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: the two that you would put as out who have 826 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: played against the Cowboys this year and didn't really go 827 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 1: off exactly. Neither one of them is Aaron Rodgers, right, 828 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: I mean, as far as how they've played the Cowboys, 829 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: the Cowboys played Drew Brees better than anybody maybe has ever. 830 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,440 Speaker 1: But although he didn't do much last night either. It 831 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 1: is looking increasingly likely that the Saints will be in 832 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 1: the Superdome for as long as they're alive in the playoffs, 833 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,840 Speaker 1: and if the hit, if that, if that guy in 834 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 1: that building in the playoffs, doesn't scare you. I don't 835 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 1: know what to tell you, yeah, other than that that no, 836 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. And you know, it's the 837 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 1: timing of this sucks because I mean, Dak didn't play 838 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 1: well the other day. Nobody played well the other day. 839 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 1: But including the defense that you like, right, I mean, 840 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,680 Speaker 1: I just am. The timing of it was terrible. But 841 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 1: I still stand by everything I wrote in my column 842 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,319 Speaker 1: last week, which is you know, I think I said 843 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 1: back in like week two or week three, like I 844 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 1: don't have to make a decision on Dak Prescott. This 845 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 1: whole thing is an audition, like the length and breadth 846 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 1: of this season, even the bad parts, like I'm I'm 847 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,319 Speaker 1: I'm fine with him as the guy I really am, 848 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,879 Speaker 1: and he's got a lot of growing to do as 849 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:13,919 Speaker 1: a passer. I don't know if he'll ever become the guy. 850 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,239 Speaker 1: And I mean basically winning a super Bowl. I don't 851 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:17,360 Speaker 1: know if he'll ever do that. And I don't know 852 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: if he'll ever be on and Drew Brees or Aaron 853 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 1: Rodgers type of level. But the intangibles that he brings 854 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 1: to the table, the face of the franchise stuff, on 855 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: top of what he's been able to accomplish as a passer, 856 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,880 Speaker 1: which is not insignificant. Like he is not terrible by 857 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 1: any stretch of the imagination, regardless of what some people 858 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,439 Speaker 1: want to tell you. It's enough for me to think 859 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,359 Speaker 1: that it's probably not realistic that they're going to find 860 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,320 Speaker 1: a better option anytime soon. And so I'm down with 861 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 1: buying in on this twenty five year old guy with 862 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 1: a lot of it factor who has a lot of 863 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,279 Speaker 1: room to grow, but has shown all the signs in 864 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: the world that he's willing to do the work and 865 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,919 Speaker 1: is smart enough to improve. Should the fact that he's 866 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 1: been sacked fifty times, which is second in the league 867 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 1: this year behind Deshaun Deshaun Watson shout that factor into 868 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 1: this evaluation of Dak Prescott. Yeah, a little bit, I mean, 869 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:14,839 Speaker 1: and it also should factor into Scott Linahan and the offense. Um. 870 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,719 Speaker 1: You know, if you go back and look at there's 871 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: a reason why Andrew Luck doesn't get sacked a whole lot. 872 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 1: I mean, who's a better athlete, Luck or Dak? I mean, 873 00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 1: I mean it's probably close. I mean, I mean Dak's 874 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 1: I would think, is a better athlete. But you know, 875 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,399 Speaker 1: I mean luck's pretty good too. But I'm just saying 876 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,760 Speaker 1: there's a reason why they scheme plays open a lot quicker, 877 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 1: and I think it goes to some of these receivers, 878 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,839 Speaker 1: some of the route running. It's everything. The offensive line 879 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,239 Speaker 1: hasn't been good. His process and decision making isn't. It's 880 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 1: it's a bunch of things that go into the place. 881 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,840 Speaker 1: It's not because he is. He's not very mobile and 882 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,200 Speaker 1: he can't get around people. You know, he's probably avoided 883 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,360 Speaker 1: twenty five sacks this year that most people can't. So 884 00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 1: I think there's it's not just Dak, It's a lot 885 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,840 Speaker 1: of things his offense. I don't think he gets the 886 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 1: ball out quick. I don't think he processes things as 887 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 1: quicker as some of the other quarterbacks. No, which is 888 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,000 Speaker 1: natural for a third year guy that all goes yeah, 889 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,319 Speaker 1: he's I mean, I don't know have the numbers on hand, 890 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 1: but at least like ten to fifteen of these sacks 891 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 1: are on him, Like there's I mean, he will move 892 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,920 Speaker 1: himself into pressure or wait too long to see things 893 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 1: come open. He's got a lot of room to grow. 894 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,200 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to suggest that he doesn't, but I 895 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 1: have confidence that he can grow into that, And yeah, no, 896 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 1: it's part of the evaluation of him and where he 897 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 1: is at as a pocket passer, valuation of the offensive 898 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 1: line where they thought they would be, the receivers who 899 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 1: may not be getting open all the time as they 900 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,520 Speaker 1: should to give him the right target to be able 901 00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,839 Speaker 1: to get the ball too. I think it all factors in, right. 902 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:49,080 Speaker 1: I think Dak Prescott is above average in year three, 903 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 1: which is a pretty good spot to be in for 904 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 1: a fourth round pick. And on top of that, the 905 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,239 Speaker 1: Cowboys do not have a realistic avenue to find a 906 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:02,400 Speaker 1: replacement until twenty twenty, by which point your window is 907 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,360 Speaker 1: starting to close on a whole lot of other players 908 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,960 Speaker 1: on this team too. And so yeah, I mean it's 909 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,840 Speaker 1: a gamble. It's scary given the money, giving money like 910 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 1: that to anybody, But the things I like about Dak 911 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 1: give me confidence that it's a safe gamble. All Right, 912 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 1: we appreciate you guys joining us back Tomorrow we're gonna 913 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,319 Speaker 1: jump into Cowboys versus Buccaneers. Dave is going to give 914 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,880 Speaker 1: us a report on that Buccaneers offense. Number one. I 915 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:27,799 Speaker 1: think they're the number one offense in the league as 916 00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,800 Speaker 1: far as yards are concerned. You have some problems in 917 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 1: the red zone. We'll talk about that tomorrow. So then 918 00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,600 Speaker 1: for Nick, even Dave helm and I'm Derek Eagleton.
