19
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: off air conversation onto the year. Nick and I were

20
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: talking about, like if the Cowboys actually get on a

21
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: magical run and should get to a super Bowl. The

22
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: question was would we cry? And I told Nick like, yeah,

23
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: I thought about it, and I do think I would

24
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: probably she had a tear. I'll have my phone ready.

25
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: You don't need to capture that. Once in a lifetime.

26
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: You'll be so overwhelmed with all the things that you

27
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: have to do to get ready for that game. I'll

28
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: be crying for that. That's that is a true statement

29
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: from what I hear, like my colleagues around the league,

30
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: ye've experienced. Yeah, that's why I hear why it takes

31
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: two weeks to go play that game, right exactly, all

32
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: the things you have to do. There's a lot to do.

33
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: But trust me, I will be happy to take on

34
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: that task. But those tasks because we have well, I

35
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: get emotional every year when there's like a team that

36
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: wins a Super Bowl and they have like some story

37
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: like behind a player or a coach and they're like

38
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: super emotional just watching them on my couch. Of course

39
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: getting emotional too, But you know, honestly, part of why

40
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: I would be so excited would be because and I

41
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: really and truly believe this is not me kind of

42
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: pumping you guys up. But I think I have the

43
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: best media team in the country, and I think putting

44
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: the creativity of this team to work on that kind

45
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: of stage where you can tell those kinds of stories,

46
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: I think you guys would do some phenomenal work. And

47
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: we've never had an opportunity to really do that. And

48
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: and that's where I'm just like, man, I would love

49
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: to see this crew, this group right here, put some

50
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: content around a Super Bowl, around even a championship game.

51
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: I think it would be phenomen It's why you do it.

52
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why the players play so they can

53
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: go and play in that game. But that's why we

54
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: do what we do, so you can experience all of

55
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: that and the ride with them. And we haven't we

56
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: haven't done that. We haven't been able to so who

57
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: knows just talking about it. I mean, let's just so

58
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: it's like that lottery ticket, like, oh man, if only

59
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: I could win the lottery. Baby steps though, and it

60
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: starts this week because it's also something we've never seen

61
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: and it's been thirty years. I mean, I remember, I

62
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,839
Speaker 1: remember it was probably my favorite game of all time.

63
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: You know, Brian just said it that the Super winning

64
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, I mean, getting to the Super Bowl

65
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: was almost more enjoyable than winning it. But my favorite

66
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: game of all time for the Cowboys just when they

67
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: beat the forty nine Ers in nineteen ninety two for

68
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game, which is the last time they've

69
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: won a road game in the playoffs. How was that

70
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: the game was parking? I was working. It was my

71
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: first year of scouting, and I was sitting in the

72
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: box with San Francisco fans. John Dorsey, former general manager,

73
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: you were scouting with Green Baths. I was scouting my

74
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: first year with Green Bay and John Dorsey and I

75
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: are out the East West game out in Palo Alto, California.

76
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: Dors goes, Hey, man, I got two buddies. I got

77
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: buddies to have a box here for the candlestick for

78
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: this game. You interested. I'm like, man, I'm from Dallas. Yeah,

79
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: I gotta go right. So I sat there, had all

80
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: my Green Bay gear and all that. These fans from

81
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: San Francisco were going in on Dallas. They were going

82
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: in on people from Dallas. They were saying alk and

83
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: I sat there the whole game, the whole game, the

84
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: whole game, the whole game. When he caught that ball

85
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: and took off running Alvin or Harper. I started in

86
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: I go run un run, and everybody turned and looked

87
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: at me, and I said, you m Effers had been

88
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: all talking about Dallas all day and what a terrible

89
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: city it is. I'm from Dallas. And John Dorsey looked

90
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: at me, go it's time to go break And they

91
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: were not expecting that because your Green Bay I did.

92
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: I had all my Green Bay gear and when I

93
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,559
Speaker 1: was quiet the whole game, and when he caught that ball,

94
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,559
Speaker 1: I started screaming and and he you know, it turned

95
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: out well, and literally John looked at me and he says,

96
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: we gotta go, and I said fine, And I just

97
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: I didn't even thank the people. I sat in the

98
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: box with the whole game. It was just constant, well,

99
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: Dallas is this and can you believe it's about? You know?

100
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: And I just as a as a guy growing up

101
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: season tickets for twenty years, I'd had enough. I'd had

102
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: enough of these fans, you know. I thought, you know,

103
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: that to me is my number one play of all time,

104
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: to Alvin Harper. But because the forty nine Ers had

105
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: come back in the game, they cut it to four.

106
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: The crowd's going nuts. It's four minutes to go. It's

107
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: like four minute offense? What do you do with four

108
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: minute offense? Here it is and I mean Summer all Madden.

109
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: They're like, this is a championship game. This shopped up field.

110
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and this is it's four minutes to go.

111
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: You're on the twenty yard line. What do you do?

112
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: And you throw it? You go back to pass and

113
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: you throw it to Alvin Harper on a twenty yard

114
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: slant and he takes off for seventy yards and it's

115
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: like you go right at him, know, and that's the

116
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: epitome of like trying to take this game over and

117
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: and playing to go win, you know, win a trip

118
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. It reminded me because San Francisco

119
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: had given me heartache before and eighty one with the

120
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: catch Dwight Clark, because that was a pretty good cowboy

121
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: team that you know. I mean, if you remember how

122
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: that game ended, Drew Pearson gets horse collared before there

123
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: was horse collaring, I mean, they're gonna he if he

124
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: breaks free, Dallas is gonna win that game a game.

125
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: But everybody just remembers the catch, and you talk about

126
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: crying and getting emotional when that game was over. I

127
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: sat there in my you know, my friend's apartment. I mean,

128
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: like tears were in them. I'm like, man, what just happened?

129
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: This is what just happened, you know. And that's the

130
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: kind of thing these fans, I mean, we just cowboy

131
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: fans haven't experience I mean, they've experienced the heartache, but

132
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: you know, to experience the joy of a ninety two

133
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: game or something like they are a super Bowl win

134
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: or something, it's it's it's it really really is amazing.

135
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: And that's the part where you know, we talk about

136
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: how emotional will be. There a lot of people out

137
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: there listening right now that if you're listening to The Break,

138
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: a lot of you guys are listening to us on

139
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: you know in June, right you're still listening to our

140
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: show every week. And those fans talk about emotional because

141
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: they're the ones that have had to listen to all

142
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: the criticism and all and they're the ones that are saying, oh,

143
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: my team's gonna be good this year, my team's going

144
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: all the way and then get disappointed. Right So for them,

145
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna be that same sort of emotional release of

146
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: finally but you know, they got a lot to do

147
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: to get there, and I guess let's talk about that.

148
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: Let's start talking first about Xavier Rhodes. He's obviously the

149
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys picked him up last week. How much is he

150
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,239
Speaker 1: gonna be able to Like I heard somebody say yesterday,

151
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: you don't pick up a player like that for him

152
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: to set on your practice squad. You pick him up

153
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: because you think you can use him. Is he going

154
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: to be able to be used this weekend? And how

155
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: do you think they'll use him? I think he's gonna play.

156
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I don't know if he'll be

157
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: the starter on the other side or on Bland will

158
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: be and thrown Bland on the injury report, so that's

159
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: a that's a good sign, not even on the injury

160
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: report from the injury from last week. But I think

161
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: I think Roads will play a lot. And you know

162
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: one thing, Well, I'll get into a story in the

163
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: locker room a little bit. I'll let Brian kind of

164
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about him and what he

165
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: might be able to do. But I think that that

166
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: he's definitely pretty comfortable in this situation right now. You

167
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: got you gotta thought him this one No, I just

168
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: gotta I liked his input when he was talking to

169
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: the media, just his attitude. You know, he's he keeps

170
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: talking about being ready to go, ready to go, and

171
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: so far the guys that they have brought in have

172
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: seemed to be ready to go. So that's the upside,

173
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: or at least a positive sign that I'm like, Okay,

174
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: maybe he can be similar to a guy like t

175
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 1: Y that came in here and was plugged in right

176
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: away and effective. Yeah, fresh, the fresh body, and he's

177
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: he says he's ready to go whenever, and he so

178
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: physically he seems to be there. So I'm excited to

179
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: see what he can bring once he's put in the Yeah.

180
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: I was listening to Nick on the radio one oh

181
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: five three this morning driving in and you said something

182
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: I thought was really good. I just need him to

183
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: be good one time, you know. I just need him.

184
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: I mean I need him to you know, I need

185
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: him to find a way to be a savvy veteran.

186
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: Much like what you said about t Y Hilton. What

187
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: was t Y Hilton's first impression that we got to him.

188
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: It was a fourth down pass interference draw on a

189
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: huge play and then a huge play down the sidelines.

190
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: That was our impression of him right off, to jump

191
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: a guy like he hadn't played all year, and now

192
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: he's playing in a meaningful game and helping you win

193
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: the game. And so to me, that's all you have.

194
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: That's that means. It's it's sad that it's got to

195
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: the point where Kelvin Joseph is not as good as

196
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: dron Bland. It's it's it's sad that that happened, you know,

197
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: And but you have to there. The one thing this

198
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: team has done a great job of this year I

199
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: think of the coaching staff is if somebody's not good enough,

200
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: they don't keep playing him. You know, they realize, hey,

201
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: they're throwing everything they can at this cornerback spot and hoping.

202
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: You know, Xavier Rhodes has the length, he has, the toughness,

203
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: he has, the veteran intellect that they need. He just

204
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: can't run as well as he once did. And so

205
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: if you play on guts and guile and toughness and

206
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: everything else, that's what you're gonna probably get from Xavier

207
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: Woods in this game. Rhodes. Excuse me, Yeah, So let

208
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: me ask you this, if if what he has his size, physicality. Yeah,

209
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: and what we saw in that last game of Tampa Bay,

210
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: which is they're gonna try to challenge your corners on

211
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: the perimeter with the run game and their ability to tackle.

212
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: Does he then become an asset to you if they're

213
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: doing if they if that is the game play and

214
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: they're trying to employ, has he become an asset? I

215
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: feel like that they're better. I feel like that the

216
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys are better now playing perimeter defense. Just because the

217
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: corners are different. It doesn't help you covering. You know,

218
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown could retreat, Digs can retreat, you know, in

219
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: a playoff game. I just love to see Diggs just

220
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: like you know what, I'm not going to retreat. I

221
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: saw what happened to me last time we play these guys.

222
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: I need to play with force. I need to play forward.

223
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: I need to make that ball go back inside to

224
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: vander Esh and those guys, you know are Wilson. I

225
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: need to make this ball, you know. I need to,

226
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: you know, make sure that my force doesn't give them

227
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: reason to capture the corner. I think this team plays

228
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 1: better perimeter defense because you've got guys that are willing

229
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: to do that. Bland's willing to do that. Right is

230
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: willing to do it. Right doesn't always cover, but right

231
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: will at least step up, you know, And that's all

232
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: you need. You don't need somebody retreating at the point.

233
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: They're going to challenge Digs in this game because what

234
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: they figure out is if they can run the ball

235
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: at Diggs and get him war down, having to deal

236
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: with that, he's not going to be able to cover

237
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: as well. It's just like it's like past It's like

238
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: when you run the ball successfully on offense, it wears

239
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: pass rushers down. Look at Michael Parsons, you know, he

240
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: gets war down and he has to continue to deal

241
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: with that kind of stuff. So, yeah, it's gonna be

242
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: a challenge. But I hope that Digs remembers what happened

243
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: in week one and then makes that decision to come

244
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 1: and try and help. Let's take our first break when

245
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: we come back. I ask some questions for you guys

246
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: about the matchups. We'll talk about that when we come back.

247
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. Todd thought it would be

248
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: secure to Jog and the Cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the

249
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: big Cat repellent he bought online was reliable, and now

250
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: Todd is trying to be faster than this cheetah that

251
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: can run eighty miles per hour. But the good news

252
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: is Todd has AT and T five G. It is fast,

253
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: reliable and secure, and he learned the best thing to

254
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: do is stop running and toss her the backpack with

255
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: the beef stew at and T five G. Fast reliable, secure,

256
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: It's not complicated. Five G requires compatible plan and device.

257
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: Five G may not be available in your area. See

295
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's get into some matchup questions and

296
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: some game type questions. Here's my first question for you guys.

297
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: Which is more important for the Cowboys to fix. They've

298
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: been having some issues with both of these things. If

299
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna win against Tampa Bay run defense or rushing offense.

300
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: I need him to run the ball. I need him

301
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: to run the ball. I need to find ways to

302
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: I need to find ways to keep drives going. I

303
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: need to find a way to stay ahead of the chains.

304
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: Quarterback plays so much better when they're playing ahead of

305
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: the chains. Offensive coordinator gets in some rhythm. You know,

306
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: Tampa is not a great running team. They're gonna try,

307
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: and they probably feel like they can. They have confidence

308
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: that they can. I kind of feel like you're a

309
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: little bit better prepared for that to play the run

310
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: defense with vandershback Hankins. They didn't see Hankins the first

311
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: time around, and they're dealing with some issues at center

312
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay with Jensen. They don't know if Jensen's going

313
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: to play in this game, and they're other guys are

314
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: nicked up too as well, So I would kind of

315
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: kind of keep an eye on that. But I feel

316
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: like if you let me, if you let me run

317
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: the football, my offense is going to be able to

318
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: move the ball and score points. Yeah, I think it

319
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: comes down to, you know, who do you want on

320
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: third and nine? I mean, what makes you feel better

321
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: Dak completing the third to nine or tom Brady completing

322
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: a third of nine, And I think it would be

323
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: tom Brady. So to me, if you stop their run,

324
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: you still got to deal with them, which yeah, you

325
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: can rush the passer on them, but you still got

326
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: to deal with him as opposed to if you're in

327
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: third and nine situations. I don't like that. I don't

328
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: like the way they play defense to try to disguise

329
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: things for Dak. I think a have to run the football.

330
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: I think that I agree with Brian running ball. Well,

331
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: were you asking defensively? I'm saying both, Like what's more

332
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: important for the Cowboys to fix their rushing offense so

333
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: they run the ball better, or for them to fix

334
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: the rush defense they can stop Tampa Bay from running

335
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: the ball. I would say stop Tampa Bay more than

336
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: the running the run defense. I would like them to

337
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: be able to rush the passer a lot better. Get

338
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: back to pressuring the passer, because even though they've been

339
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: struggling with stopping the run all year long, I feel

340
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: that they were a lot more successful when they did

341
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: find a way to get to the quarterback and I

342
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: kind of slowly started fading away and they started dropping

343
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,719
Speaker 1: down on both things, like now you don't have a

344
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: line that's rushing the pass or and now you don't

345
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: have a line that's being able to stop the run either.

346
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: So if they're able to just kind of get back

347
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: into pressuring the quarterback Micah parton being the problem for

348
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, I think that automatically, quote unquote, they should

349
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: play a better game defensively and therefore also help your

350
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: offense to get back hopefully to what they can be. Yeah,

351
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: if you flip the question and told me would you

352
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: rather have pass rush or run offense, I'm gonna take

353
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: pass rush because to me, I don't think Campa can

354
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: run the ball there passing game there first in the

355
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: league in attempts, their first in the league in yards.

356
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: You know that's they don't score points. If I could,

357
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: if you told me, I could get after them and

358
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: affect the game one way, give me my pass rush,

359
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: because if Tampa's not gonna run the ball, I'm gonna

360
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: need to stop them throwing the ball. But no, no, no,

361
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: go ahead. I was just gonna say, but I think

362
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: this is a chicken and egg kind of thing. I

363
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: actually think their ability to rush the passer starts with

364
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: can you stop the run? Yeah? And I think that

365
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: what we saw earlier, the team throws the ball, they

366
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: abandon the run. Yeah, But I get My point is

367
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: people they don't even try. My point is, though, in

368
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: games where the Cowboys have lost this year, and specifically

369
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,479
Speaker 1: games where they typically it goes hand in hand, when

370
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: they haven't able to stop the run, then what ends

371
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: up happening is because they can't stop the run, they

372
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: kind of get worn down, they get a little frustrated,

373
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: and then their pass rush slows down, and then they're

374
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 1: not getting the pass rush. To me, if you can

375
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: stop the run and they talk about it all the time,

376
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: you earn the right to rush the pastor earning the

377
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: right to rush the pastor is about stopping the run.

378
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: Once you stop the run and you make the other

379
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: team one dimensional, now you have a chance to just

380
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: let loose and go get the quarterback there comfortable earlier

381
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: this year because I mean every time after every show

382
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: we would say, if one thing that the defense needs

383
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: to fix is the run, stopping the run, So what's

384
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 1: the difference? My thing is, I think as the season

385
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: warre on, teams started realizing if you just don't abandon

386
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: your run, like if you just stick with your run,

387
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 1: this team will give up yards in the running game.

388
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: And what we started to see is as a season

389
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: went on, more teams started saying, you know what, even

390
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: though we're down, we're not gonna get away from the run.

391
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep running the ball. And I think that's

392
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: how the Green Bay game played out, Like they just

393
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: kept running, They kept running, and they didn't get out

394
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: of it. They were like, we might be down, we're

395
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,479
Speaker 1: gonna keep running the ball, and they got right back

396
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: in the game. And so I think what happened this

397
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: team's realize this team is more concerned with getting after

398
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: the passer. And if you stick to the run and

399
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: you keep pounding at them, eventual it's gonna hit and

400
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: eventual it's gonna work, right, And I think if they

401
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: want to be able to be good rushing the passer,

402
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: it starts with can you stop the run and force

403
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 1: a team to get so frustrated to where they then

404
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: start feeling like they gotta throw? And then you got

405
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: just feel like by doing that, at the end of

406
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: the day, you kind of get neither. You're still having

407
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: them run on you, like run the ball on you,

408
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: but then also not getting to the quarter but not

409
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: if you stop the run. That's the point. If you're

410
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: dedicated to stopping the run, then as the game wears on,

411
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: the hope is. The hope is as you as you

412
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: stop the run, eventually they get away from it and

413
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,719
Speaker 1: then they become one dimensionally. And when you know that

414
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: that's what they're doing, I'll put this team up against

415
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: any team going to get the quarterback. Well, yeah, that's

416
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: the thing about this team though in Tampa. They give

417
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: up on the run. They give up, so you're immediately

418
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: from the word go they're one dimensional. So yeah, you

419
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,479
Speaker 1: know if you if you told me getting after, if

420
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: you said, hey, get after the passer. Yes, yeah, I've

421
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,959
Speaker 1: watched enough game. We've all watched this quarterback play Super Bowls,

422
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: things like that. When he has grass stains on that

423
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: jersey of his, it's usually a bad day for them

424
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: because the more you hit him, the more it affects him.

425
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: It's forty five years old. Just keep hitting him, you know,

426
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: that's the idea in this game. Brian, Earlier this week

427
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: you said you were going to steal a question and

428
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: from Derek and use it on the radio. Did you

429
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: do that? I did? Okay, So I don't mind stealing

430
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: something that was presented to me today. Did you hear

431
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: on the L five three? Really really good question? And

432
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I used it yesterday

433
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: in our show. Okay, they stole it from y'all. I

434
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: think they did. That's fine scenario. And they asked McCarthy

435
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: this too, which he didn't play along of course not

436
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: you know, but you're up six and Brady has the

437
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: ball at the twenty yard line and their own their

438
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: own twenty gotta go eighty yards to win the game,

439
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: but three minutes to go four minutes to go, or

440
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: you're down six, you've got the ball at the twenty

441
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 1: yard line and Dat they got the ball and they

442
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: got to go go win the game. Which scenario do

443
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: you like the best? It's gotta be Dat has the

444
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: ball because you give you give three minutes to Brady.

445
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: I've seen Brady do it a minute and a half. Okay,

446
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: you give him three minutes that week one game, minute seven. Yeah,

447
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: I ain't trust that. Like you're one of the best

448
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: in the league. You talk about giving them ball at

449
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: the end of the game. Now, the only thing that

450
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 1: that I do like about that, let's say it is

451
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: four minutes. The way I look at that is maybe

452
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: scores in a minute and a a half and Dad gets

453
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: the goal, right, Maybe that works. Maybe that works. I

454
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: don't know. He's not, but you know, but I don't.

455
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: I don't love the idea. I was just telling you

456
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: guys upstairs, I don't love the idea of a close game.

457
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: If it's a close I don't feel like I don't

458
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: feel confident in the fact that most any team in

459
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: the NFL, if you're playing a close game against Tom Brady,

460
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: good luck with that. I just don't I don't I'm

461
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: never gonna bet against that because I've seen too many

462
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: times when that twenty eight to three lead ain't safe.

463
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: Like I don't. I just don't trust that, you know, No,

464
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: I took I took defense though giving the league you did,

465
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: just give me the lead. Yeah, I don't. I don't

466
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: like it. I said it. That's what I said. Like

467
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: there are no fingernails. You know, you'll you'll, you will

468
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: be nervous as hell. But the one thing he might

469
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: be confident is when the game turns into that. We've

470
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,479
Speaker 1: seen Dad huh, move the ball, move the ball, move

471
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: the ball, and now we've also seen interceptions and stuff

472
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: before the half and things like that. But I would

473
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: be comfortable with Dac playing in that type of a

474
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: setting where it's like, I got to move the ball.

475
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: I don't have time to think. I just keep throwing

476
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 1: the ball, you know, and it works out the other guy.

477
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: You just know when you're on that sideline and it's

478
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: all right, well, you know field goal is good and

479
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: you know the score, and then you're like, okay, he's

480
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: got a minute forty one time out and all he

481
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: needs a field goal and you see that look on

482
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: his face. They always show him on the sideline that

483
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: look on his face like, oh yeah, I got him. Yeah.

484
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: It's like, remember the first time, the two years ago,

485
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: what did he do? He kept throwing the ball out

486
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: of bounce on purpose, just to keep eating the clock up.

487
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: Do you had nothing left? That's the kind of that's

488
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: how he manipulates things. That's that's the problem you have

489
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: when you play him and Rogers and guys like that.

490
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: They're thinking, wait, Manning that fifty one to forty eight

491
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: game that hadn't down. These these quarterbacks are thinking, okay,

492
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna milk this clay. And he just kept throwing

493
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: it out of bounce, you know, just to get time

494
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: off the clock. And then all of a sudden, you're

495
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: just now you're kicking a field goal and you're going

496
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: home unhappy. Yeah, it's it's hard to play these guys,

497
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,239
Speaker 1: even if as old as that guy is, because they

498
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: got playmakers on the outside, and they could throw the

499
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: ball to Fournette on the screen or white and go,

500
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 1: you know, first play they get the ball, they throw

501
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: the screen to Fournette for eighteen yards and you're like,

502
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, now you're you know, it's just tough. I'm

503
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: with you, Derek on this one. I think I give

504
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: me Dak. I'm taking Dak every time. I don't want

505
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: nobody wants. He's forty five years old and we're acting like,

506
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: I mean, he's to play defense. I'm just saying, I

507
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: trust my best player and that's what it is. And

508
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: I don't have You're not stopping the run. You're not

509
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: going from stop against Philadelphia, not gonna go on a sweep.

510
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: You're not gonna you know, it's not gonna It's gonna

511
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: be Digs covering their best guy, Micah Parsons rushing. And

512
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: I'll just take my chances. I mean, and if they score,

513
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: I'll take my chances. They missed the extra point. I

514
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: don't Xavier Rhodes is playing the game of his life.

515
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: It's going to be Joseph Joseph. I don't know how

516
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: he plays. Yeah, you think, yeah, I mean, we'll see

517
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 1: Rhodes got to be active for somebody. Let me throw

518
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: this question at you, guys, Typically successful playoff teams, we'll

519
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: do something a little different in the playoffs. You'll see

520
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: something different about them. What's more likely to happen this weekend?

521
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: Turpin is used on offense Gallup has used more downfield

522
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: on some big plays, or t t Y has a

523
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: phenomenal game, has the game of his life, and they

524
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: use him a ton. What's more likely to happen? Why? Yeah,

525
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: I think any any play that they had for Turpin,

526
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: I mean after the ball hit him in the face,

527
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: like they're like, yeah, it's got that one. I don't know.

528
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: But even then, Like, has there been a successful play

529
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 1: where Turpin has been on offense? Yeah? Couple, couple. I

530
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: mean the option play they ran against tamp in Week

531
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: one where Dad got a first down. He faked the

532
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: option running it moved White the linebacker, and he went

533
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: up inside for a first down. That was a team

534
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: in the average for rush. Yeah, five point six. That's

535
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: it with two? Are you very serious? Yeah? Five point six?

536
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: At least a team he gets the corner on those Jets.

537
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Ballard's like five three. I mean it's really good. Yeah,

538
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,479
Speaker 1: I'm saying I would have thought there were some other

539
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: guys like I would think CD, for example, he's had

540
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: those runs where he's you know, so I would think

541
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: his average would be a little bit high. I think

542
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 1: I think, Okay, I'm gonna say some different here. We've

543
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: We've thrown a lot of dirt on Gallup. Yeah, a

544
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: lot of dirt. I'm saying they're gonna go vertical game

545
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: with him. I think you're gonna this is gonna be

546
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: one of those games where you're gonna finally see a

547
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: smile inside that helmet, you know, with the ball going

548
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: down the field and him catching the ball. I don't

549
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 1: think they're gonna use turpin. If they use turpin, it

550
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: will be in some kind of we haven't seen the

551
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: fake anything yet or the throwback, you know. I mean,

552
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: Bones has got something that's gonna Television games like this,

553
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: the coordinators always have something they're gonna gallop. This is

554
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: the time for Michael Gallup to bear ry everything that

555
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: everybody said negatively about him this year in this game.

556
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: That's if they If they're gonna do something, it's gonna

557
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,719
Speaker 1: be a downfield shot couple of them on the second.

558
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: Do you expect um that if beyondat starts, do you

559
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 1: expect McGovern to be the left guard? Yeah? I do.

560
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: I expect everybody to go back to their spots. Yes, yeah,

561
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: Lets I just need that right tackle to say, well

562
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: you are applying something, but um Tyler Smith said in

563
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: the locker room yesterday that he doesn't know where he's

564
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: gonna play, and I don't know if he's just being

565
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: coy as a rookie. I don't know if he's doing that.

566
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: But he's like, I'm not sure if I'm gonna be

567
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: playing guard or tackle? Is that because they don't know

568
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: about Beyandnat yet, Like they don't know for sure if

569
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: he's gonna be playing Maybe? I mean, I just I

570
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what the what the setup

571
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: is going to because I look at it like this,

572
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: the fact that he was full yesterday, full practice, I

573
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: would say that they're probably and just talking to folks,

574
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: they're getting him read. If Tyler stays a guard, that

575
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: means that Peters is still at left tackle that I

576
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: don't know how that could be the scenario that they

577
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: think is the best option for this offensive now. Probably not.

578
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: I just I'm just not sure what they're gonna do.

579
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: And and when you say different packages, it makes me think,

580
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: what if what if there's something for McGovern as a

581
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: as a lead blocker? You know, what if something like that,

582
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,719
Speaker 1: if you if you get in a situation where you

583
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: where you're trying to get short yardage goal line, maybe

584
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: that happens, but I think on other plays he should

585
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: be in their guard. I think it should be honest

586
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: in McGovern and McGovern has played a lot against the

587
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: Bucks because even last year when so he's played some

588
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: and I don't think you're gonna have that that, you know,

589
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: scared to do anything in the middle. I mean, it's

590
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: gotta be they've got to be able to move the

591
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: ball some way in the middle. You know. Let me

592
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: throw this one other question. It's kind of on the

593
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: same vein as the as the last question. But before

594
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: we go to break um we somebody mentioned a little

595
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: earlier in show that you just need that one player,

596
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: you need that one game. From from this vet, they

597
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: got a lot of guys like that that a little

598
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: long in the tooth, and if you're gonna need a game,

599
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: this might be the game. Which one is more likely

600
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: to have that kind of game of these guys Tyrn Smith,

601
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton, Xavier Rhodes, or Anthony Barr. I would

602
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: put Anthony Barr fourth on that list, unless the ball's

603
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: going right at him. Yeah, I would say that probably

604
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: from what I've seen so far from Tyrn Smith, I

605
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: would probably put him second on that list. Xavier Rhodes third,

606
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton first. I like that. I'm sorry, I

607
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: jumped around all over the place. We got you, said,

608
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: t Y tyrn Um, Xavier and Anthony Barr. Yeah, I

609
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: think I think the thing with Anthony Barr that I

610
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: having vander Eshbach really helps Clark in my opinion, because

611
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: Clark needs Clark needs him telling him be ready for this,

612
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: be ready, this is that run play over here, could

613
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: be ready, be ready, and you know you need that.

614
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,239
Speaker 1: We saw it last week the first touchdown the Commanders have.

615
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: If vanders just there, he is not going to let

616
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: Terry McLaren run across the field untouched Clark did vand

617
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: Rush is going to step up and smash across or

618
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: on that play. That play is not going to happen

619
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: with him standing there. You know who who I think

620
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: is another X factor. I don't know how about how

621
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: old he is, but he's a veteran. Is Brian Anger's

622
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: got to do well. I'm glad you said that. He's

623
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: got to do a good job because yeah, and it's

624
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: not just him Overton, Let's not. Let's be clear about

625
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: this one. Yeah, miss extra point was on him him. Yeah,

626
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:36,479
Speaker 1: the block, punt, the block, but also when he's dropped

627
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: the snap, yeah, I mean, should have caught it, but

628
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: it was why I mean, he's having to move. I mean,

629
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: you know, that's when your eyes start coming off the

630
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: ball because if they are rushing from the right and

631
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: from his right side. Now he's kind of thinking about

632
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: that because now you're you're kicking right into the teeth

633
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: of it. So the balls need to be where it. Yeah,

634
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,719
Speaker 1: be so Overton, but really Anger, if you can pin

635
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: him back and play some field position with them, and

636
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: Tom Brady could drive ninety nine. I'm sure he can,

637
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: but put some pressure on him having a stand in

638
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: the end zone. It's a little bit different. You check

639
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: down a lot quicker, you can get off the field.

640
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: Anger and the special teams. I think it's gonna be big.

641
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: I'd like to see it where Dallas can find ways

642
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: to make them have to run the football or try

643
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: to run. I mean, make them make them prove to

644
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: you that that you know they haven't run it all year.

645
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: They ran it on you in Week one, but since

646
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: then it's been you know, White has been better than

647
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: Fournette when you watch, but I mean that's to me,

648
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,719
Speaker 1: if you pin them back at least they're gonna have

649
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: to use some place to try and maybe create some

650
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: distance there. I think Hankins is the bit you asked

651
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: it the other day. Which guy coming back to me?

652
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: It's Hankins more than be Oddish, that's close but in

653
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: vander But I like. I think Hankins. I think that's

654
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: a that's an element we haven't seen against the Buccaneers,

655
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: and I think that it'll be it'll be a little

656
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: bit different there within there they're banged up at center two.

657
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: I mean, let that big man eat inside with vander

658
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: Esh behind him. We're going to take our final break.

659
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,760

Speaker 1: off with this as we were heading into the break.

707
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: It is a question that I think has been asked

708
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 1: around every show, national and local this week, and Chuck

709
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: Negren asks it on Twitter. Have you guys lost faith

710
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 1: in dec I haven't lost faith, but there's a side

711
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: of me that when I kind of looked at the

712
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: coaches would be a value in twenty twenty two, and

713
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: then you would evaluate Dak in twenty twenty three, and

714
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: then by twenty twenty four you needed to figure out

715
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: if you needed to use a draft pick on a

716
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 1: quarterback or where you were you're going to extend this guy.

717
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: The thing that bothers me the most is just the

718
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: it's just it's the decision making that it's it's not

719
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: the it's not the trying. It's or not the you know,

720
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 1: it's not the it's just sometimes you make those throws

721
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: and you're like, you, as a quarterback, you can't, you

722
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: just can't. So I lost faith in his decision making.

723
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 1: That's where I've Sometimes the decisions are brilliant and you're

724
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: you're just like, Wow, what a great play, and other

725
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: times you're like, you can't throw that ball. You can't

726
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: throw that ball, and I don't think you. I don't

727
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: know if you could get that out of him. I

728
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 1: really really don't, because he's always I've said this before,

729
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: he's always going to live to He's always going to

730
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: live to fight to keep the play going. You know,

731
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: that's his belief. That's the way he's playing. That's way

732
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: he leads his life. You know, he's never told he

733
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: could pass. He you know, his college coaches they didn't

734
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: think he practiced well. He didn't throw the ball well.

735
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he's developed along the way, but what he

736
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: hasn't developed is the decision making. And I think that's

737
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: the thing that I've lost faith in. I haven't like

738
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: lost more faith in him. I mean I've you know,

739
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: I've always been somewhat critical of him at times, but

740
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: as just standing in the pocket and throwing it's not

741
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: his thing. It's not his game. He gets confused with

742
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: coverages and stuff like that. He's got to go be

743
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: a football player that plays quarterback, not a quarterback playing football.

744
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: If he's a football player and he's running around and

745
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,919
Speaker 1: he does a little goomb every now in a game,

746
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: they get off me. Go make some plays. That guy

747
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: has got to win the game. That guy that's flipping

748
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,720
Speaker 1: over Seattle to go get to get those extra yards

749
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: to win his playoff game. That's the guy be fearless

750
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: and go out there and play. I don't I don't have.

751
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: I have lost faith in that. They've got to put

752
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: him in the right situations. But I think he can

753
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: go win games in the playoffs. I believe that still. Yeah,

754
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: I think so too. He can. He can win games

755
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: for you. Again, he just does. He does need the

756
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 1: supporting cast, he does need the old line to be working,

757
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: he does need the running game to be working. He

758
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: does need those receivers that can catch passes. So it's

759
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: it's a tough one because where were you rating dak

760
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: to begin win with. And it's one of those like, Okay,

761
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: it is what it is is. You can't keep thinking

762
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: that he's going to become that Aaron Rodgers, that Tom Brady,

763
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 1: that Mahomes. He is what it is. And if that's

764
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: the quarterback you decide to have, then you gotta make

765
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: sure you give him the support that he needs. You

766
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: gotta make sure you position him in the right position,

767
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: like call the right place for him, try to cater

768
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: to him. Have the tight ends working for him because

769
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: he seems to be really, really good with the tight ends.

770
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's just a tough one. But at

771
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I do think that he

772
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: can be the type of quarterback that can win games

773
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: for you. Yeah, the fact that we're all kind of

774
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Nick was far more positive than

775
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: I know I was about it. But the thing about it,

776
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: we're all struggling with that right now, we're all struggling

777
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: with you know, you want to believe, you want to

778
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: believe there's so much to love. Yeah, from him, there's

779
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: no question, but there's I don't want this to be

780
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: one of those games where it ends up and then

781
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the turnovers of the factor in

782
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 1: the game and he has to stand up there and Nick,

783
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: for the eighth straight week, ask him the turnovers? Can you, Dak,

784
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: can you address what happened with you know? And then

785
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: he has to know I've got to be better. I've

786
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 1: got to be better, you know, and we're all we're

787
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: all kind of like we're losing faith on I gotta

788
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: be better. You know. That's where I I amber's right.

789
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: You want to just love the player because of where

790
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: his background and what he's where he's come from, and

791
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: what he's overcome and all that. You want to want

792
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: to love the player, and the reason why you're in

793
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs back to back is because the guy. You know,

794
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: if if if he had half the interceptions, if he

795
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: had half, we'd be talking about what a great year

796
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott had. You know, if if you believe in

797
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: analytics and numbers and all that, the numbers will overwhelm you.

798
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: But the one number that really overwhelms you or the turnovers,

799
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: you know, and a lot of that has to do

800
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: with there's just there's balls that bounce off people the

801
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: volleyball players we have sometimes, but there's a lot of

802
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: it has decisions, you know. I mean that throw against

803
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: the Commanders last week on the outside was one of

804
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: the worst throws. You can't make that throw, and that's

805
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: that's the that's the thing that we all struggle with.

806
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: I think watching him play that one more question for you,

807
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: OK ahead, I was gonna say, I also think there's

808
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: some blame to be put on like Kellen Moore and

809
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: the coaching because and I'm not saying you can't go

810
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: through a whole season, playing like how you were playing

811
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: with Cooper Rush. At some point you gotta be aggressive

812
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: and you got to go for it. But at the

813
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: same time, how comes Again it's a bad comparison, but

814
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: you were playing such a more, more much game, yea

815
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: more cleaner game, being more okay quote unquote conservative, but

816
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: it was kind of working. You were moving the chains

817
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: and doing Again, I just forgot for a moment. A

818
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: lot of it had to be because of the defense

819
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: and what they were doing for you at the same time.

820
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: So that's the only reason I want. But that's to

821
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: your point. You need people around him, not only the

822
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: offensive players, but the defensive players were you know, I mean,

823
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: you got to have that kind of help. But just

824
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: there's some type of game that you can construct that

825
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: it works better for a guy like Dak that is

826
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: more aggressive than what you got with Cooper Rush, but

827
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 1: also kind of keep it tighter and cleaner for you.

828
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 1: All right, one more question before we take our get

829
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 1: our predictions for the game. Andre Britton says, who outside

830
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: of Dak do you think us to play with the

831
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: as the best version of themselves for the Cowboys to

832
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: be successful this week? Oh? Well, the best version of

833
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: themselves would be Ezekiel Elliott. I mean, if he could

834
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: be the best version of himself, I think that would

835
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: be I would be great. I mean because the best

836
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: version for him, like like ever or like this season. Now,

837
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, if you're gonna get one guy that's

838
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: gonna have that game, give me who is that guy?

839
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: Give me Zeke because not only is he running the

840
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: ball and he's being efficient and he's being physical, but

841
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: he's taken it to their ass. That's what he's doing,

842
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: and he's eating. He's eating every every play, he's going

843
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: looking right at that ship and he's eating and he

844
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: keeps doing that. Yeah, give me that guy. Give me

845
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: hall of fame. Tyrn Smith, you know on that right side,

846
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: because I know that right I know, I know that

847
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: right guard will do his job against Fiedavea the best

848
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: he can't. But he's gonna need seventy seven to slam

849
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: that guy in those that number fifty in the ribs

850
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: a couple of times to get him over to move

851
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: him and then he can go. Give me hall of

852
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: fame seventy seven at right tack. Well, let's take it

853
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: to defense. Give me Michael Parsons and be the best

854
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: version of himself. Last couple of games during the times

855
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: you can see he's kind of off his game, like

856
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: not playing at the intensity that he usually plays in

857
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: and sometimes kind of feeling a little lost at times.

858
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: So typically when you got a game where Michael Parsons

859
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: is just killing it, you tend to win that game.

860
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 1: Not only that, but I'll say this, and I agree

861
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: with you and Bro I would have said Michael Parsons.

862
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,399
Speaker 1: But one thing that we haven't seen as much here

863
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: down the stretch is earlier in the season, there'd be

864
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: times in games when you most need a big defensive

865
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: play and he just showed up. That's what they need

866
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: this week They need if you're gonna get to that

867
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: scenario where it's that final drive and you gotta make

868
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 1: a stop, I need Michael Parsons to be Michael Parsons.

869
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: I mean the Michael Parsons is so disruptive that every play,

870
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: like Tom is as he's getting up off the ground,

871
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: he's slamming the ball, He's looking at his left tackle like,

872
00:42:55,600 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: what are you doing Smith? Playing over there? They need

873
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons to be Michael Parsons this weekend. And I

874
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: think if he can do that. I think this is

875
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: a this might be a blowout type game if Michael

876
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: Parsons can be a Michael Parsons that we know under

877
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: the radar players like that. You know, you want everyone

878
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 1: to play their best game and and the obvious answer

879
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: like when you're back other than that, But you know,

880
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm out a guy like Layton Vanderesh, Yeah, we've seen

881
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 1: his best game. Ye his best games would have been

882
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: you know, three or four years ago. But he can

883
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: come back and play to that level. How about Minnesota

884
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: Viking Xavier Rhodes Okay, whenever, you know, whenever he was,

885
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 1: whatever game did Xavier Rhodes played where? Yeah, exactly, But

886
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: I know I know that one guy's gonna have to play. Yeah,

887
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 1: tell you a story on the locker room about um

888
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: Xavier Rhodes, UM from yesterday. I thought it was interesting. So,

889
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: you know, first first week here, first couple of days,

890
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:56,760
Speaker 1: he's talking to the media, you know, and had long

891
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: conversation and it was good. And then he kind of

892
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: see that jay Ron Curse. Everyone's gathering around Jayron Curse

893
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: making an announcement that he is the twenty twenty two

894
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: season Good Guy Award and that's that's something given from

895
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: the media to the players. Guys, great interview letter not

896
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: only accessible but gives well thought answers. Is you know,

897
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: accountable um and and not afraid to say some things.

898
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 1: And so he was getting that award and all that.

899
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 1: Well here comes Xavier Rhodes who knew him from a

900
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 1: couple of years ago at Minnesota, and he comes in

901
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: and breaks the whole thing up and he says, wait,

902
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: does he went an award? Yeah, just takes his water

903
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: bottle and just dumps it all on that, all on

904
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: his phone, all on the next guy next to him,

905
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: his clothes and phone and all over Clarence Hill, which

906
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 1: was funny. And so the way, yeah, he's got the microphone.

907
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: Clarence made the announcement. So he was actually okay but

908
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,240
Speaker 1: for that one, but not on media match or anything

909
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: like that. But it's just funny how he's been here

910
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: like six hours and he already like dumping water on people.

911
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: So whatever I mean, hopefully he's comfortable, he's back to

912
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: his his uh you know, he's feeling good about playing

913
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: and all that. So fun to see him. All right,

914
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: it is time predictions. Let me say real quick and

915
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: use that wait till last. But it's kind of hard, Nick,

916
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: you saw me this morning, you walk in. It's like

917
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 1: it's kind of hard not to Cowboys. So let's just say, okay,

918
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: my pick Cowboys. I actually think Cowboys win this weekend.

919
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: Now let's get to the other predictions. Nicho, let's start

920
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: with you. Um, I have a hard time to live. Yeah,

921
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: I have a hard time. I've never seen them win

922
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: a game on the in the road. I've never seen

923
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,760
Speaker 1: beat in playoffs, and I've never seen him beat Tom Brady.

924
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: And I've never seen all these things. And I'm letting

925
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: all of that. I'm letting Quincy Carter's struggles and and

926
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,479
Speaker 1: Romo's struggles and all of them, Wade, Phillips, Garrett, all

927
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: of that affected me here. And that's not really catch them.

928
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 1: To catch all of these things. Um, it's not their burden.

929
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: What it is is this is a better football team

930
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: than the Bucks have shown this year. They've been better.

931
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: We've seen them play great, we've seen them play bad,

932
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: but we've seen them play great a little bit more.

933
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Dallas to win this game twenty

934
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 1: nine to twenty. I'm not making it a one possession game,

935
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: because I don't think that's good for the Cowboys. So

936
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: to win it, they're gonna have to be on them

937
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: all game and hold on for dear life. Hamper, Well,

938
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 1: you know, I've always had this battle of like my

939
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: heart and my logic. My head says, but I'm gonna

940
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,359
Speaker 1: go with my heart. I just even though I can

941
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:34,240
Speaker 1: see every single possible scenario happening this weekend, I still

942
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: think that they typically come back better after a loss.

943
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: They bounce back and they're focused, and they're gonna go

944
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: out there, and some magic tends to happen at different times.

945
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: When you get into the playoffs. You never you can

946
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 1: expect the unexpected at time. So I think that they're

947
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 1: gonna bring it and they're gonna end up winning twenty

948
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,439
Speaker 1: three twenty one. That's what I had in my head.

949
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 1: A closer game is going to be one of those

950
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: where we're just kind of sweating, but yeah, Dallas wins,

951
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 1: Amber's gonna get her wish uh. Michael Parsons is going

952
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: to go after Donovan Smith in this game. That's where

953
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 1: that's where this game can hinge very well. Knocking Brady

954
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: down the grass Stained game, that's all I talk about

955
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 1: all the time, Dallas twenty seven, Tampa Bay twenty three.

956
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: All right, guys, that is a rap. We will not

957
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 1: be on the air Monday because a lot of us

958
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: will be in Tampa getting ready for Cowboys versus I'll
