Every 33 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: one of them has a dark black code on and 34 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: I looked in there. It's like a bunch of undertakers 35 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: in there. Is that like the uniform for the show. 36 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, but they all wore the same thing 37 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: Vikings on Sunday Night. That's what they're getting at. I 38 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 1: got a prediction already. We can get to that we'll 39 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: get to that. We can get to that as well. 40 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: We might get to a little game that Lindsey came 41 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: up with a week ago that I'm all about games. 42 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: Mickey tells me every day he wishes we played more 43 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: games on the air. Does bar games? We got a 44 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: bar game today? Where's the beer? I would love that, 45 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: But that's that's reserved for the happy hour on Wednesday nights. 46 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: Go check that out last night. And we had a 47 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: good happy It was great, right. Everson Walls is wonderful. 48 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: I told him he needs to do more stuff. He 49 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: is so interesting and so funny and uh and he's 50 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 1: and he's very perceptive about what's going on with the team. 51 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: And he's not afraid to say it. Yeah. Yeah, I 52 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: mean you know when you get to that point in 53 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: your former career or whatever. It's not a career now, 54 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: but yeah, he's he's unfiltered. I love it. We're thinking 55 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: about mixing him in the pregame live mix. Yeah, absolutely 56 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: open that he's good. What What was his thoughts on 57 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: the team? Oh, he he likes it. He thinks they're 58 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: awfully good. Yeah, they just need to play like it 59 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: from the jump, from yes first quarter, just the whole game. 60 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: You know that the three games they lost, they probably 61 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: feels like they shouldn't have lost. Um and I it 62 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: was funny. I gave Cory a homework signment. Somebody goes, 63 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: he's not your intern anymore. I got Corey Majors from 64 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: the fan. He was on last night too, Yeah, along 65 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: with Nick and I and Shannon nice Um. But when 66 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: when Wall said he finished, I mean we knew what 67 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,839 Speaker 1: he finished with his career with fifty seven interceptions, I said, 68 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: how many years do the leath You think we have 69 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: to go back and add up team interceptions to get 70 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: to fifty seven, and my guess is at least ten years. Yeah, 71 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: I mean how many of they had in the last 72 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: five six seven? You know five a year? Man, there 73 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: was one year Jeff Heath led him with two. Yeah. 74 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: I think it was NFC Defensive Player of the Week. 75 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: Xavier Woods leads the team right now with two. Yeah, 76 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: and he got him in the last two games. And 77 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,559 Speaker 1: I looked it up. Um, I think it's the first 78 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: time since December of last year they've had multiple takeaways 79 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: in consecutive games. And they always say it comes in bunches, 80 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: So maybe maybe that's the turning point. I mean, Jason 81 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: Garrett said the other day, this is the thing that 82 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: getting to elite level, this is the next step. Lens. 83 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: What if they had like eight now in two games 84 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: the Eagle seven, They've got twelve of the season, and 85 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now the middle of the seven rise. 86 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: I must have miscounted and going back and watching when 87 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: the Cowboys had that interception early on in the season. Cheeto, cheeto, Yeah, 88 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: right right on the sideline. Yeah, that is when I 89 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: made up in my mind that that's what this team 90 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: is missing, period, because when you get an interception, not 91 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: not only it's force fum will take away anything, but 92 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: when you get an interception. I watched the sideline and 93 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: they literally came on glued, and not only you're giving 94 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: your offense an extra chance, but the momentum that this 95 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: team never has. That momentum. It's not like, you know what, 96 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: that was a bad possessional offense. These guys are going 97 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: to come out and take the ball away and we're 98 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: gonna get it back down. That that's just you don't 99 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: think that way with this team because it doesn't happen frequently. 100 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: That's when I realized that's the missing piece. You need 101 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: those takeaways, you need that juice and this defense when 102 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: they do it, I mean, it's unreal, it's unstoppable. So 103 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: I see other teams do it, Like when Pat Mahomes 104 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: was out, the Chiefs defense came up big, gotta takeaway 105 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 1: they want. You know, it's just like, wow, that is 106 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: it's so much bigger than you think it is. I 107 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: think that Philly game was this team's max but maybe 108 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: not even max potential, but exactly what they can be. 109 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: You win by twenty seven, you start several drives deep 110 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: into the other team's territory and all of a sudden. 111 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: Now we talk about slow starts and all that, if 112 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: you're not having to go seventy five yards every time, 113 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: your offense can be that much more efficient for sure. 114 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: All right, let's let's get to some news of the day. 115 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: The Cowboy's practicing indoors because it is rainy outside here 116 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: at the start, Mick, we got some injury updates. We 117 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: do one on a Maury Cooper. Mary Cooper had a 118 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: MRI on his knee yesterday, so I'm assuming that meant 119 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: he was very limited in practice, which was a limited 120 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: practice anyway. They had him this morning visiting with the doctor, 121 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: so they were waiting to get the final results on 122 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: the MRI. I would imagine he probably doesn't practice today. 123 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: If he does, it's going to be very limited. I 124 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: was told though that he should be able to They 125 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: should be able to have him ready for the game 126 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: on Sunday. So they're very hopeful. They're camp Fleming's out again. 127 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: He may be out another week even after this. So 128 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: with that calf injury and Jeff Heath ended up with 129 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: those twelve stitches in his knee that's limitating how much 130 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: he can run. They're trying to do whatever they can 131 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: to get him to the game on Sunday. So a 132 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: little bit of a concern there and Layton vander esh 133 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: My understanding is should be good to go for the 134 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: game on Sunday. It sounds good. That's progress. Jeff Heath 135 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: with the stitches, it was twelve, right, twelve stitches, and 136 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: he's got a little shoulder problem going on also, but 137 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: it's more they feel like they can control that in 138 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: kind of get him through games. Um, but uh, yeah, 139 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: the stitches will probably limit how much he's able to 140 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: do running around when there's contact out there. By the way, 141 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: eight five five to two ninety seven is the number 142 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: if you want to join us. Also, Lenz is going 143 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: through pair scope, So lam booty woo. If you're out there, 144 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: are you scoping up? Are you scoping over there today? 145 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: Bringing us potato chips? Look at that? Well, Fred's next door, 146 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: so Savage get him for Freddy um and here comes lunch. 147 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: So the Amari. You know, he's had multiple things he's 148 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: been dealing with since training camp. Does that concern you 149 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: guys at all that over the course of the season, 150 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 1: it's been the foot, it's been the ankle. Now the 151 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: knee bruise that that bothered him during the Giants game, 152 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: you guys concern with it? I know Mickey felt like 153 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: he's there's they're optimistic he can play. Yeah. One thing 154 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 1: I do like is how honest he is with us 155 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: in the locker room about it. It's like, no, you 156 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: know it's sixty percent and the next week actually know 157 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: that the heel is done. It's just my ankle. Nolley 158 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: like he will come out and tell us, or he'll 159 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: do like he did in the Jets game and run 160 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: his route and then just step out of bounds and 161 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: be like I'm out I'm not going to play don punches. 162 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: You're right, Yeah, I think the encouraging thing is is 163 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: that he came out of the game for I don't know, 164 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: was it a series, maybe two series, and then he 165 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: came back and played. Yeah, right, right right. If you 166 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: can do that, then you're not totally debilitated. Do you 167 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 1: think maybe something flared up and that's why. And I 168 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: don't know if it's a bruise, and if they're mr 169 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: eying it, it's got to be more than a bruise, right, 170 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: Maybe he has a loose piece of cartilage in there, 171 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: or meniscus or something that they're swelling that's floating around. Yeah, 172 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: so they got to be careful on that. But yeah, 173 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: it sounded like, you know, they felt hopeful that he'd 174 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: be there to you know, get in the game. You know, 175 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: I need to double check this before I said that. 176 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: When Lindsay was talking about the importance of those takeaways, 177 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: remember we had talked about it last week that they 178 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: had in those first six games, they had never started 179 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 1: a possession on the impotent side of the fifty yard line, 180 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: and then against Philadelphia they ended up with four possessions 181 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: on their side of the fifty in this pass game. 182 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: Three more against the Giants. So after you go six 183 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: games with none, you go two games with seven. It's 184 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: rather remarkable. With turnover takeaways, we'll do for you, no question, 185 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: especially if you can get one in the end zone, 186 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: like Jordan Lewis did at the end. That helps. And 187 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: you know he's his snap count continues to rise, and 188 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 1: I think that's making a lot of fans happy, even 189 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: though Anthony Brown brings him something on defense as well. 190 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: So well, they just limited. I mean that that was 191 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: Anthony Brown's first game back right after the hamstring injury. 192 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: He missed what two games and got knocked out of 193 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: one another, so they just used him when in dying, 194 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: and they didn't play that much dying, but when they did, 195 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: he was the other cornerback on the field in the slot, 196 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: while Lewis ended up starting the game. So we'll see 197 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: where it goes from here. How's the Vikings injury front looking. 198 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: I think Adam Adam feeling looks to be the biggest question. 199 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: Say've got a hamstring and he did not practice yesterday, 200 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: and they did practice yesterday, by the way, so they 201 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: had a couple of guys limited, but no one of 202 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: major significance. I don't think they had a odin Jibo. 203 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: I can't say it a fitty their defense backup defensive end. 204 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: He didn't. Can you say it one more time? Right again? 205 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: Oh fitty fitty? How about that? Try the last name 206 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: odd Nick? Both This needs to be a dry He 207 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: did not practice with a shoulder injury. That's right. So yeah, okay, 208 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: both teams relatively healthy, although we've got to keep an 209 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: eye on Amari and Vanderesh. That's a good sign. Although 210 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: you know Sean Lee has played more and more the 211 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks because of lv's injury. How do 212 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: you see that? You guys, who's injury? Lv? E? Call 213 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: you call him Layton? Catch that yesterday? That's pretty good. 214 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Jason was like, I call him Layton l. 215 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: He's gonna They're gonna the Vikings like going two tight ends. 216 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 1: They play a lot of standard offense. So um, I 217 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: think there's room for all three of those guys to play. 218 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 1: And then we'll see what happens when they go nickel. Uh, 219 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: if they go to the Sean Lee along with vander 220 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: Esh in the nickel, or if they limit vander Esh 221 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: from the Nickel, uh, since it'll be his first game back, 222 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: so it'll be interesting to see how they manage the snaps. 223 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: But I just think you'll see more of Sean Lee 224 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: out there because of what the Vikings do, like to 225 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: run the ball behind two tight ends. But then again, 226 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: maybe he gives vander esh a little bit of a 227 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: blow so he didn't have to go out there and 228 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: play seventy plays or however many of they play. And 229 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: in the Nickel, maybe he goes in and Jalen Smith 230 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: gets a break there because before they were giving him 231 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: a break and he was a stand up guy on 232 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: the defensive line. And now with Michael Bennett, I don't 233 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: think they have to do that. I think it's better 234 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: to have Michael Bennett out there. And our Nick Eatman 235 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: yesterday asked during the press conference to Jason, is it 236 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: hard when you have a guy like Shan Lee, who 237 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: now you know, he played so great, played so much 238 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: and you have to pull him back And Jason didn't 239 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: hold anything back. He said, absolutely, it's hard. And I 240 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: don't know, I kind of I'm the momentum trained person, 241 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: like I'm like, Okay, Layton, why don't you just maybe 242 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: rest more a little bit and we'll see what Shaun 243 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 1: Lee continues to do. I mean that was I did 244 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: the pre and postgame show with Barry Church, who played 245 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: alongside Shawn Lee, and he was just like, Wow, this 246 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: is the Shawn Lee of my day back in the day. 247 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: And Brian has really been harping on Sean's like to 248 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: your point, he's one of these momentum guys, like he 249 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: needs to get in the flow of a game, flow 250 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: of a defense, see what defense or offenses you're trying 251 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: to do, and he gets better and better. I mean 252 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: sometimes you know, you see that with running back sometimes 253 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: they got to get into a flow. I just I 254 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: think there's a way to get him all three on 255 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 1: the field, and because van Vikings will get him all 256 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: three of the field. Yeah, and vander esche start. You know, 257 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: he's the future of this thing. And I think he's 258 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: played well. It's just he hasn't necessarily made those big 259 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: time plays behind the line of scrimmage that really got 260 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: people howling and doing all that last year a lot 261 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: of howling. Not not as much howling, but he's yeah, 262 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: make sure, but he's been productive. Um, well, isn't he 263 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: like leading the team or did ja Jalen took over 264 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: because he's just those games. Yeah, he had sixty six tackles. 265 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: He was leading the team until he missed the games. 266 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any doubt this is probably the 267 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: deepest position on the team, and then you got to 268 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: see it. Yeah last week. Absolutely, and we didn't even 269 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: I don't think we've touched on Joe Thomas, who played 270 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: a little bit in the game as well and is 271 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: filled in for Sean. But just remember that Sean was 272 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: back at his old position. Oh yeah, and the weak 273 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: side linebacker spot is supposed to do what he did. 274 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: You're supposed to be the active guy. You're uncovered and 275 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: you run to the ball. It's very hard to stand 276 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: out as a I mean, name me the best strong 277 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: side linebacker. Strong Side linebackers are just kind of there, right, 278 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: and they don't play that much because they come out 279 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: on nickel. So especially the way offenses are now, yeah, yeah, 280 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: I mean everybody's playing three y. Yeah. I mean that 281 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: position was made for Sean Lee, right, like, yeah, the 282 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: most brilliant guy. He lives in this building. Film is 283 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: his thing. I mean that he knows what guys are 284 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: going to do before they do. It before the snap. 285 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: I mean, he is made for that position period, and 286 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: that's why they moved him over there to begin with, 287 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: was to cover him up a little bit more and 288 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: allow him to flow to the ball and make plays. Yeah, 289 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: Vanderesh does the same thing, and could he could play 290 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: all three positions two if something happens to Jalen, he 291 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: can go in the middle if they want. You know, 292 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: it's uh, he's just so valuable even if he's what 293 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: thirty thirty three years old something like that. He's kind 294 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: of like Witten on the other side of the ball, 295 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: you know. He said after the game, I feel like 296 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: I'm playing in high school again, just having fun out there. 297 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: When people are saying that you turned back the clock. 298 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: Something's working and I think, you know, Witten had a 299 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: year off, so we've seen that a little bit more 300 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: run after catch from him. But Sean Lee is I mean, 301 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: that's all anyone's saying. It's like, you look vinted Shaun Lee. Yeah, 302 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: I think something's clicking. Big time performance from him. Anything 303 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: popping on periscope, Lots of questions about the offensive line, 304 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: lots of shouts out to our man Brian broad Us 305 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: offensive line Mickey once you've gone back and watched the game. 306 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: Was it just because the Giants are not good? I 307 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: mean I think the Cowboys have played not good teams 308 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: already this season and they haven't played as good as 309 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: they did on Yeah. I don't think the Giants defensive 310 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: front is all that great, but they did what they 311 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: should have done. You know, they dominated him. I mean 312 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: they had huge holes you could have driven a truck through. 313 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: And even Zeke admitted it. You know that those guys 314 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: were mauling them up from Yeah, he didn't want hy 315 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: credit makes it makes my job easy. So yeah, I 316 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,360 Speaker 1: thought they played awfully well. And think about it, they're 317 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: probably a little healthier too, especially the tackles because they 318 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: came back and played that Philadelphia game. They played through 319 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: something when they were should have said I shouldn't say 320 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: through it. Yeah, and that and that speaks to those 321 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: guys their character that they wanted to be out there. Now, 322 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: this will be a much bigger test going up against 323 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: this Vikings front. When you have Daniel Hunter with eight 324 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: and a half sacks and Everson Griffin the other defensive 325 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: end with five and a half. Those two guys have 326 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: fourteen sacks. Now I'm a little skeptical on this number 327 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks are thirty five and thirty four? Well what 328 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 1: are the Cowboys? Well, I don't know, but that's sixty 329 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: nine quarterback hits in nine games by two guys. This 330 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: is probably the best ten him of edge rushers they'll 331 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: face so far this season, without question. And Hunter got 332 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,239 Speaker 1: two sacks against the Cowboys in twenty sixteen when that 333 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: was a rock fight between those two teams. Seventeen so ugly, 334 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: and I got reminded and I was thinking, this was 335 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: the second time that Mike Zimmer was going to be 336 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: a head coach against the Cowboys. But he didn't coach 337 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: in that game. If you remember, he had the eye 338 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: surgery and he had to stay home. That's right, revenge season, Yeah, 339 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: Sunday night, and so he wasn't able to be on 340 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: the field that game, which I'm sure just absolutely killed him, 341 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: knowing him and how competitive he is. After I saw 342 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: who Hugh Freeze in a hospital bed up in the 343 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: press box coaching, I realized how much these coaches want 344 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: to be at you. You know that that was right. 345 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: I know that first sand right, No, at firsthand. But 346 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: there are just some funny things that you see that 347 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: you're coaches will do oh okay, like you're in a 348 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: hospital bed in the in the upstairs, in the booth, 349 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: got it with the window of view, yep, playing on 350 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: the bed car that was. Did they least kind of 351 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: prop them up a little? Yes, there's there's a clip 352 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: of a coach walking through the fifty yard line and 353 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: he looks up and goes like this and raises his 354 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: hand in the air and they pan up to the 355 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: booth and Hugh Freeze, I think it's Freeze, am I right, 356 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: he's got his bist rays from a hospital. Bad that Sorry, 357 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: I got up top big. Be your best, regardless of circumstance. 358 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 1: That's what they always say. So yeah, and zim I 359 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: wrote about it yesterday. Vikings defense for the last five 360 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 1: years or five five of the last six years, they've 361 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: been top ten defense, and they've had a lot of 362 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: stability on defense. You mentioned some of the guys, Mick. 363 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: Their linebackers are solid. They may have the best safety 364 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: tannem in the league. Um, you can't get off to 365 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: a slow start against this defense, I don't think. Oh, 366 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: and you better not turn the ball over either, because 367 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: play of the game. Yeah, you know, while their their 368 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: offense has kind of sputtered at times. You know, the 369 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: games they they've lost. The only game they scored some 370 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: points when they've lost is this past week against Kansas City, 371 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: but they did score twenty three, got beat twenty six 372 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: twenty three. But the other games were sixteen six and 373 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: twenty one sixteen. So again, if you can, you know, 374 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 1: manage to score some points, uh, you certainly help out 375 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: your defense against a team that has some weapons on 376 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: offense with Delvin Cook, and you know, Kirk Cousins can 377 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: can do a number on you. Except the Cowboys have 378 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: had his number during his career with the Redskins. So 379 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: is it Kirk Cousin or was it who he was 380 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: playing with? But they did go six and one against 381 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: him when he was with the Redskins. All right, let's 382 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 1: sicker first break on Talking Cowboys eight five five two 383 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 1: two ninety seven is the number hit up periscope.

I need to try out? Oh my goodness, Yeah, 449 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: there's every now and then there's a guy with a 450 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: sign outside, and I'll always stop and talk and give 451 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: props because that's gotta throw some respect on that.

They can all still run a four 454 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: four forty two. Oh yeah, legends in their own mind? 455 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: Do you included? Do you realize that back in the day, 456 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: like through the eighties, they used to have an open 457 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: tryout every year in the summer at Texas Stadium. I've 458 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 1: asked if we can do one, they could watch it. 459 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: It was like you had to pay like I don't know, 460 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: maybe twenty five dollars or something, and you got a 461 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: T shirt and you bring your spikes and shorts and 462 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 1: they time him in the forty and put him in 463 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: drills and see if they found somebody that fell through 464 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,400 Speaker 1: the cracks. It was why that's why fourth and Long 465 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: was so successful, because everybody's dream, you know. Jesse Holly 466 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: shouts out, and I think when Jimmy got here. They 467 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: did it like one year and then he was like, seriously, 468 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: we can't be wasting our time like this. Well, you 469 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,120 Speaker 1: gotta respect the hustle man. By the way Kirk Cousins 470 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: numbers against the Cowboys, I got this from the great 471 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: Kaden Gates. Cowboys are six and one all time against him. 472 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 1: I got that right. Twelve touchdowns, five picks. He'll sling 473 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 1: it down the field. He will sling it down the field. 474 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 1: He's been sacked thirteen times too. I think Tank Lawrence 475 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: has his most sacks against Cousins more than any other 476 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL per his career, oh thirt The 477 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: Cowboys of sacked him thirteen to Yeah, he's been sacked 478 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: thirteen times. He's taken the care of the ball better 479 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: though this year only three picks sixteen Dalvin helping out. 480 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,719 Speaker 1: That helps to have the most productive running back in 481 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: the league to date. I wonder if that'll add any 482 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: juice for Zeke. It seems like, you know, Doug Peterson 483 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: kind of ticked him off a little bit. I don't 484 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: know what ticked him off last week. He running angry again. 485 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: You already said yesterday in the locker room. He acknowledged. 486 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: He said, there's been guys in the league that have 487 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: been better than me this year, which you don't. I mean, 488 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: a guy as great as he is, and in my opinion, 489 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: he's the best player on the team pound for pound. 490 00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: You don't always hear a guy acknowledged that. But he said, 491 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: that's so, that's okay. They feel like they're they're finding 492 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: a groove in the run game. Half well, if the 493 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys don't open the floodgates with Delvin Cook and he 494 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: has his normal hundred yard performance, he'll be right back 495 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: in the rushing title race. And he and what is 496 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: he now top? He's like one hundred and fifty behind, 497 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 1: but he's played nine and Cook's played nine games, so 498 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: that's one hundred game away from and and he wasn't 499 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 1: in Cobbo for training camp. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, absolutely, 500 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: And there's probably something to it. Took a little time, 501 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: and I asked Zach Martin about it. He said, we're 502 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: getting back to we're running some plays we're most comfortable 503 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,959 Speaker 1: with in the running game, and we're just there's just 504 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 1: a better flow that Zeke has said about it, and 505 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: it's probably is a thing takes a little time, even 506 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: with as many years as they played together. Oh yeah, 507 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: if you talked to Nate, Nate, would you know the 508 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: first couple weeks into this season, he was like, it's 509 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: gonna take some time for Zeke. I mean he's not 510 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: going to just run back in here, and I mean 511 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: we are a week was its ten week ten of 512 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 1: the season. So this kit in his stride right now, 513 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: and I just think about it. If you just watched 514 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 1: the game last week, he was even more patient than normal, 515 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: and he had a couple more little stutter cuts in 516 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: the backfield before he hit his stride or went back 517 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 1: the other way. So he was kind of feeling it 518 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: and he just had a better feel for what was 519 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: going on. And so yeah, if you look at all 520 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 1: the little cuts he made, not the big ones, the 521 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: little ones he made to wait for a hole, to 522 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: wait for a block. He was really really good at 523 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: that last week. And the guy's up front getting to 524 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: the second level and pulling and getting on the move 525 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: in space like it was his beautiful thing to watch. Yeah, 526 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: even screenplays if you catch the ball Tony Pollard, oh yeah, 527 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: it was. It was a rough start for Tony. That 528 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: was a touchdown that was a rough start kickoff, opening kickoff. 529 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: That's going to happen, right, Like from the people I've 530 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: talked to, they're like, Okay, calm down, that's gonna happen. 531 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: He's a rookie, rookie, Yeah, that's gonna happen. Tried to 532 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: do it too fast, and he was running with the 533 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: ball before he caught it on that screen and he 534 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: probably saw what we all saw. There was open green 535 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: space the whole way with three blockers out front, step 536 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: ahead of himself. Yeah, yep, yep, we've seen Amara Cooper 537 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: do it. I thinks he's got a touchdown, not focusing 538 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 1: on the ball. Uh. You guys want to take a 539 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: phone call? Sure, a periscope too. Okay, let's let's start 540 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: off with our buddy Nebbi and what up in Silver Spring? 541 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: What's up? Man? Uh? Hi? Everyone? Uh a gut feeling. 542 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: Is Amari Cooper going to play on Sunday? And and 543 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: who's who's who'sn't under who'sn't under the radar? Guy who 544 00:29:53,600 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: has the step up for us? Uh? In order in 545 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: order for us to beat the Vikings? Uh? I've got one, 546 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: uh Malik a college good one? Yeah? Uh take take care, 547 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: thanks for being patient with me, and have a great week. Bye. 548 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: Thanks Bud, good feeling. Yes, I think he plays on 549 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: Sunday Amari. Yes, all right, I'll let you guys handle 550 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: the other one, the radar guy for Sunday night. Why not? Yeah? 551 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: How has Malik played? Do you guys so far in 552 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: this contract? Here last two games, I feel like it's 553 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: maybe his best two games of the season. He's really 554 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: come on these last couple of games. Yeah. And uh, 555 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: And that's why I was going to say, well, is 556 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: he under the radar because the radar was pretty high 557 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: these last two games at least, um, gosh, there's no 558 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: one under the radars Blake Jarwin under the radar. Heck, yes, louder, 559 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: Mickey louder. From the people on periscope, we need more 560 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: Blake Jarwin. They're asking for that and me, yeah, me 561 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 1: and the guys on periscope and gals, he's getting what 562 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: twenty five snaps a game something like that. See, here's 563 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: here's here's what it comes down to. Uh. And like 564 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: everybody wants a yell for that, right, But who was 565 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: the leading receiver in the game. It was Jason Witt, 566 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: the goat eight catches for fifty nine yards or whatever 567 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: it was. When when when Jarwin can excel, is they 568 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: get in matchup problems defense. I know you're right, because 569 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: he can if they want to cover, if you go 570 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: to tight ends and you're gonna try and cover them 571 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: with a linebacker, that's probably not going to work out 572 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: so well. And then it doesn't work out when he 573 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 1: has a head of steam and Genora's Jenkins doesn't oh 574 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: lay on it. That was the most embarrassing at a tackle. 575 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: I think I've never seen that. He put one arm 576 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: out and then did ola like you know people and 577 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: they didn't want anything to do with him. But anyway, Yeah, 578 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: and so he can get down the field, but you 579 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: got to get the right matchups in the game, and 580 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: you got to block right, and the whole thing's got 581 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: to work out. But this too tight end offense has 582 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: been very effective. I think blocking too. You know, everybody 583 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: wants me rewide and sling it around and okay, fine, 584 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: but his blocking is improved, and when they go too 585 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: tight it causes a mismatch for opposing defenses. I'll go 586 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 1: Randall Cobb, don't he's not under the radar, but let's 587 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: get him a touchdo touch John's taken away this season? 588 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: Get him Randall Cob in the end zone. He's played 589 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: Minnesota many times in his career. I just feel like 590 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: he and Dag are really close. They're close on having 591 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: a breakout game, especially if a Cob. Yeah, we count 592 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: and Jordan Lewis is under the radarsolutely well not if 593 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: he's starting. Well, that's that's what I'm getting at, right, Yeah, 594 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: what are we thinking about this? Because this is what 595 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: I'm thinking. I'm thinking. I did a story on this 596 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: this past offseason, went straight up Christopher Shard. Is this 597 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: guy you're exception to the rule or not? Is he 598 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: going to play more or not? He said he is. 599 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: He's my exception to the rule. He's five to ten, 600 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: doesn't look like all my other guys who trot out 601 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: there every time he makes it. What is it like 602 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: six turnovers from him and how many starts like nine? 603 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: Just around the ball a lot. And I'm not even 604 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: gonna say it's lucky. Like when when the Cowboys drafted 605 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: this guy and I looked at the college film like 606 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: all of us did, like there is some insane talent 607 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: here in athleticism. And he's very, very smart as well. 608 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: I don't know how much longer we're gonna have Jordan 609 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: Lewis hanging out on the sideline. Well, if you know, 610 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: you get Daniel Jones to throw you a pass and 611 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: Larry Brown interception, he got beat the guy through a 612 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: bad pass right to him. Not this last game, the 613 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: Giants gig, the Eagles gig. Yeah, yeah, it went through 614 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: it right to him. Give the man some credit, but no, 615 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: I'll give him credit for being able to scoop see 616 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,879 Speaker 1: him from everyone else. I want turnovers, and I don't 617 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: care who does it. I see turnovers from when he's 618 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: out there. Thank you, Kyle got just get it. I don't. 619 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's some magic like um combination 620 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 1: when they get out there, or if it's it's It 621 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: doesn't seem like pure luck anymore though. Maybe he's Maybe 622 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: he's unassuming out there, Maybe he sneaks around. Well, he's 623 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,839 Speaker 1: got a fourth of the interceptions. Yeah, and I think 624 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: he's got one. And in the Christmas card subscriptions in 625 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: the mail for you, PFF, they had him rated very 626 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: high this pass game. Oh very good. Yeah, yeah, imagine 627 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: that he's doing something right. He's doing something right right, 628 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: he's earned more playing time. His coverage was much better 629 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: in this game than it had been previously. Yeah, all right, 630 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: good stuff.

And he flew right nervous. 677 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 1: You're doing great. What are you looking up? I was 678 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 1: just looking at Jordan's stats from the game. Had six tackles. 679 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 1: Usually when a cornerback has a lot of tackles, that 680 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 1: means somebody catching the ball in front of him. See 681 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,800 Speaker 1: he has this list In the break, I told Mickey, 682 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,240 Speaker 1: I need to know the truth. What is it? The truth? 683 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 1: No passes defense? What's the because he's not in very much? No, 684 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: he started every nickel. I mean he's Byron Jones have 685 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 1: because teams, teams don't pick on Byron Jones, right, So 686 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,480 Speaker 1: the lack of PPUs that means he's not making plays. 687 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 1: He is making plays. Got four. Get to the bottom 688 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 1: of this, nick fella. I need to know your feelings. 689 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,399 Speaker 1: Sort through them tonight. He's got four. There's something there. 690 00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: He's got a list. He has a list of Anthony 691 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 1: Bys got four, Noah Brown, Jordan Lewis, Jeremy Minsy. When 692 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 1: he was here, then just guys. Jordan Lewis doesn't fit 693 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: in with the other two. Okay, good, he shouldn't. Okay, 694 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: so he's hanging out on the middle list. He's much 695 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:20,480 Speaker 1: better than those, Okay, mints. The only reason everybody liked 696 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: Mintsy was because he was in the locker room every 697 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: day and get interviews. I do love interviews, right, He 698 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,239 Speaker 1: let the team in sacks one year six, Well that's 699 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: if de Marcus Lards finishes with six this year, you're 700 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: gonna say he stole money. Do you want to open 701 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 1: that cannon works right now? It's eleven forty talking about 702 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: two different planets. Yeah, let's let's not solar system cowboys. 703 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 1: I just don't want to hear that he led the 704 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 1: team in sacks. What's on? What's on the scope? Lens 705 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 1: a lot of questions about Cheeto and Stefan Diggs. Don't 706 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,439 Speaker 1: we think the Cowboys back end is going to look 707 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: like against Kirk Cousins and his guys. The Cowboys will 708 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: play their sides, So it depends on what to Minnesota 709 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,399 Speaker 1: where they want to line those guys up right, which 710 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 1: side Dig's going to be on? Uh? And I would 711 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,879 Speaker 1: imagine they'll play a lot of man, but they'll mix 712 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 1: in some zone on this too. Try to confuse Cousins 713 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, and they and they don't. They 714 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: don't really use their corners to follow guys either. They've 715 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 1: kind of stuck to the sides. And that's that's a 716 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 1: confidence indicator of Cheeto two as well. I think Cowboys do. 717 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 1: And it would be a little bit more a little 718 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 1: less difficult. If theeln is not ready to go, it 719 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,439 Speaker 1: doesn't go to play. He doesn't sound good. He played 720 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 1: a few snaps last week, missed the game before, and 721 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:41,920 Speaker 1: he just may need some time. I believe they have 722 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 1: a buy after the Cowboys game. The Viking is probably 723 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 1: about time for it. Yeah, maybe that's what they're trying 724 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,360 Speaker 1: to do. And then you got to deal with point 725 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 1: Treadwell right and former first round pick if I remember so, Yeah, 726 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't get that much easier. So yeah, I think 727 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,839 Speaker 1: I think that's the way they play it. And uh 728 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 1: and depending on how they're running the ball, you know 729 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,840 Speaker 1: you may play less man because when you get in 730 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,879 Speaker 1: man and teams start running on you, you can get 731 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,440 Speaker 1: yourself in trouble. All right, let's go back to the 732 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:14,880 Speaker 1: phone lines. Jim in Pasadena, you're up next on Talking Cowboys. 733 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 1: What's up Jim? Hey guys, how are you thinking? My call? 734 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis tracks the ball so well, he has great 735 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,840 Speaker 1: ball skills. But I went back and looked at Michigan 736 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 1: Take wondering and the same thing you're wondering, why isn't 737 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:33,240 Speaker 1: this kid playing? And he doesn't play the deep route. Well, 738 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 1: the receivers just separate from him. They kind of bully 739 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: him and he doesn't get out of his hips too well, 740 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,440 Speaker 1: and especially when he's covering them the slot. So when 741 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,759 Speaker 1: teams figure that out, I think we might find out 742 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,560 Speaker 1: why he's not in there all the time. I got 743 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,839 Speaker 1: a question for you guys, fun question, third and long, 744 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:56,920 Speaker 1: and you want your NASCAR defensive line. What four kids 745 00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: are you putting in there? For me? It's Florence in 746 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 1: Collins and Bennett and I'll let you go. Thanks for 747 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,240 Speaker 1: taking my Paul. Thanks Jim. Good. Good thing he agrees 748 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 1: with the coaches because we saw it right? Yeah? Yeah? 749 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 1: Are you talking about Lewis? Are you talking about the 750 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:18,280 Speaker 1: defensive line? Yoh? Yeah, I don't know what you're referring to, Mickey, 751 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 1: you come around in the last five minute? Was the 752 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 1: defensive line? Ok? Yeah? Do you agree with this the 753 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,200 Speaker 1: hips assessment on George? I don't know about the hips. 754 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:32,279 Speaker 1: I do know about deep crosses that he doesn't keep 755 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 1: up with. Yeah, okay, But when they back to Bennett 756 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,680 Speaker 1: and what do you say? The NASCAR defensive line? That 757 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,959 Speaker 1: was my sound effect. Very good. I love it. That's 758 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 1: probably what they had in mind when they made the deal. Yes, 759 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 1: get another speed rusher on the field. I thought I 760 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 1: saw that. What in the game, don't they did? I mean, 761 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 1: you saw Bennett go from I think he played a 762 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,440 Speaker 1: lot of just a fun game. Now, now we get 763 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,279 Speaker 1: to pick and choose and plug in who we like 764 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,520 Speaker 1: at that time. I'm I'm with Jim, Yeah, Jim Passata yea. 765 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 1: That's I mean, that's the defensive front you're gonna see, 766 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,840 Speaker 1: especially in Nickel's situations and You'll see Bennett play a 767 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,480 Speaker 1: little bit left defensive end and on standard downs to 768 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,920 Speaker 1: give Lawrence a break. And then they'll move inside and 769 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,280 Speaker 1: Lawrence will come in and he'll eat on the outside. 770 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:27,400 Speaker 1: Everybody eats. Watch out, no loafing. Got one minute to 771 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,720 Speaker 1: go anything, one minutes if oh for golf, the show's 772 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 1: forty five minutes now.

How 782 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 1: about how about I think the Cowboys get creative on offense, 783 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 1: Like we go back to those early Kellen More days 784 00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,799 Speaker 1: back at the beginning of the season a couple months ago, 785 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 1: Skywars Yeah, they just need to slow down those defensive ends. 786 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,479 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a test retiring take advantage of their 787 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,319 Speaker 1: ability to get up to field. I think the way 788 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: those guys were moving though last week the bye week 789 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,720 Speaker 1: help they're healthier. Did we not have a periscope question, 790 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,080 Speaker 1: where's Randy Gregory for our NASCAR defensive line? No? That 791 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 1: just that ship is sailed. Nice drop. Kyle's on it 792 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,840 Speaker 1: right now. Is that a ship or NASCAR? That's NASCAR, 793 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:49,840 Speaker 1: that's Nascar. You're saying the ship has sailed sad days. Honestly, 794 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,279 Speaker 1: not even gonna lie. I thought about putting him in 795 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,359 Speaker 1: my NASCAR group last at least for this year. We haven't. 796 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 1: Don't change people ask us and we just don't have 797 00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 1: an update on it.
