1
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys. This is media Match,

3
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: a roundtable of Cowboys insight on the current state of

4
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: your Dallas Cowboys. Now your host Newey Scrugs midimatch on

5
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: a Tuesday. Here a lot of topics to get to

6
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: with Bobby Belt want to fight through the fan, Kevin Gray,

7
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: want to fight through the Fan, Patrick Walker, Oh, Dallas

8
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com, Newey Scrugs Man Man Man Special Teams

9
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: has been a positive for the Cowboys. He shoot a positive.

10
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: Now they are dealt with a long snapping situation because

11
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: Jake McQuaid, with a triceps injury, looks like he may

12
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: be out for the year. The Cowboys have sung two

13
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: long snappers, Matt Overton and Tucker Addington, to the practice squad. Gentleman,

14
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: your concern with Jake McQuaid being out is Bobby go

15
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: yet to be determined? I think I think long snapper

16
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: is one of those ones that you just you're you're

17
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: not really sure until somebody starts messing it up and

18
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: then you start noticing it's like, oh, yeah, this isn't

19
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: gonna work out for us. But Um, you know, I

20
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: guess wait and see, Well, we'll see how things operate

21
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: without him here a Special Teams. You're right, they've gone

22
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: really really well. Everything's gone smoothly there. Um. But yeah,

23
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: you know, Jake McQuaid, I guess we'll see how big

24
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: a part of that he was because it takes um

25
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: who was it in the famously in the in the

26
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: OH three playoff game, I think Johns of Bordnander's trade

27
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: junkin came off the street and couldn't snap the ball.

28
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: Never it's snappy there, yeah, always nailing it. So it's

29
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: one of those that you only notice it when it's

30
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: going bad. So hopefully we just don't notice anything we started.

31
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: I was when he started with Special Team. I thought

32
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: he was gonna give it a nice little shout out

33
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: to Kelvin jose because you know how he feels about

34
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: no young Kelvit Joseph here. You know what, but you

35
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: went the other way, you know the I know you,

36
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: but you went the other you know, the the golf class.

37
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: There you go, Um, don't do that, don't do that. Um,

38
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: I didn't. I'm surprised they didn't coax what's our man's name,

39
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: LP let us sewer out of retirement. They had to

40
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: convince that man about three years in a row to

41
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: to come back because he was ready to retire for

42
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 1: a while. So I think he's old and how old

43
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: is That was the one thing we were I mean,

44
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: guys are playing into their forty Jason Peter, Tom Brady.

45
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: You know, do they run down on punts? They? Hey, man,

46
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: look no they don't. I here blocking, So I guess

47
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: I should have worked out Brian brought us Hey, good

48
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: call ground one five to the fan, good call there,

49
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: good enough to pawn on aunt, I have a dead

50
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: man on the field. But to Bobby's point, you know,

51
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: man down and look, it's not a concern until it

52
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: actually becomes one. So let's just help these guys come in.

53
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: One of the guys win as a job and move

54
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: on and keep this nice special teams of going for

55
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: this time. LP is forty one, by the way, so

56
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: he can play. Yeah, he can still play easy. Yeah.

57
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a concern until well, I'm

58
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: kind of the inverse. It's a concern until it's not right.

59
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: So because one of the main things when you're talking

60
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: about your long snapper and one thing that made LP

61
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: as we sit here and talk about him a legend,

62
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: is that you never heard his name until Washington in

63
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: the game where you know, they penalized him or they

64
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: made up a penalty to make him look bad. But

65
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: other than that, the long snapper, it's it's so key

66
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: that he has a chemistry with his punter. And we

67
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: talk about how leth O'Brien anger has been for example,

68
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: and now there's going to be a new long snapper

69
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: coming in, you know, to start the second quarter of

70
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: the season, they're going to have to get on the

71
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: same record and fairly quickly. And that's why the Cowboys

72
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: were interested in adding two verses one because that tells

73
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: you that they're still working these guys out. But now

74
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: it's going to be in real time and over the

75
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: course of practice is and we'll see and we hope

76
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: that Sunday goes well with whomever we decide for that

77
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: particular game. And if not, hey you're right of here.

78
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: Hey you Europe. So it's a concern until it's not.

79
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: Special teams has been fantastic. But you know, to Bobby's point,

80
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: if you never hear your long snapper's name, it means

81
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: they're doing the job, and that the Cowboys want to

82
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: keep that goal. I'll be honest, like, I try to

83
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: study the game as best I can. I've followed football

84
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: sin so I was a little kit. I just don't

85
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: understand the nuances of long snapping and what makes a

86
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: good or a bad one well enough to have an

87
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: opinion on it until I see, oh, I see that

88
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: went wrong, And so that's just where I'm at. That one,

89
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: you know, hit the target right on. That's the thing.

90
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: Margin of error is so slim, like you have to

91
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: hit it one hundred percent of them and it's harder

92
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: than it sounds. Here's the thing. Did you notice anything

93
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: wrong with Jake McQuaid. Did you notice anything wrong with

94
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: Jake mcwad and training game? I had heard chatter that

95
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: they wondered for a little bit, well as Garabey struggling

96
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: because of there's been some issues with a long snapping.

97
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: It's like I couldn't tell there was anything wrong. So

98
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: I'm just not the guy that he's their angle. Garribey

99
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: was struggling because he wasn't good. There's that kicking it

100
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: into different zip codes. So there's now I'm concerned and

101
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 1: I'm concerned because and this is the sickness of fantasy football.

102
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: I was watching that Bengals Steelers game to start the

103
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: year where all of a sudden, Bengals don't have their

104
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: long snapper, they can't make an extra point. Um. It

105
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: also didn't help that one of the blockers decided to

106
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: try to block the guy outside. The inside guy goes

107
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: in and kicking the Steelers, uh, you know on a

108
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: field goal. It's him, so they couldn't do anything. So

109
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: they matter. I mean, so this is the difference between

110
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: Cincinnati being in first place by themselves at three and

111
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: one instead of tied with Cleveland and Baltimore two and two.

112
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: It matters. So I'm concerned. And for the most part

113
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: around here with the Cowboys, for well over a decade,

114
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: you have never had an issue really with long snapping.

115
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: And we could have an issue, um this weekend in

116
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, And what if we see with the Cowboys

117
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: right about now? These games are gonna be tight. They're

118
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: not blowing the doors off anybody. So and and Brett

119
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: Mohur has been very good. You start getting to a

120
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: point where Brian Anger's reaching and try to put something down.

121
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: He kiss me. These it's small little thing back here.

122
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not trying to compare myself at all

123
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: because I was, but I was a long snapper, so

124
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: I do understand what happened. If you skip it, if

125
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: it's here, that mean it matters. And in the professional

126
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: level where people are coming even quicker, you gotta be good.

127
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: So fres of a second matter. Right. So, so I

128
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: don't know anything about Matt Overton or Tucker Addington. Obviously

129
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: this is bone fossil, this is his his ARAAB expertise.

130
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: But this is one I wanted to bring up and

131
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: talk about because this is a podcast for diehard cowboy

132
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: fans and we talk about news and information. Keep an

133
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: eye on this long snappers matter. I'm a big Tucker myself, Okay,

134
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: because yeah, just really high on his up. Overton sounds nice,

135
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: you know. I'm I'm just trying not to ride the

136
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: fence here. I'm trying to I'm trying to have a

137
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: take obal team out over ten as old team. Look,

138
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: and this is this is this the Beedien. This this this

139
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: gives you time to go ahead and ring. This is

140
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: where you start text stating people who are smarter than

141
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: you and go and tell me what this means? What

142
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: does an overton mean on your long snapping? Hey, but

143
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: the wise man knows what he doesn't know and seeks

144
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: the knowledge exactly, and bones we trust, and bones we trust.

145
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: Seven sacks for the San Francisco forty nine ers defense

146
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: against the Rams last night, and they picked off Matthew Stafford.

147
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: If you're dan Quinn and company watching Monday Night football

148
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: last night, the pizza had to taste good. The beer

149
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: had to feel real nice and cold. As you were

150
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: going down to say Bobby was feeling good in particular, saying,

151
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: hey man, it's the second week, the second week in

152
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: a row. You've got an offensive line with issues. It's depleted.

153
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: They're playing backup center, a backup center and two backup

154
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: guards like a parcel like coach again. I'm just I'm

155
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: just looking. I'm gonna look at Ub Gallimore. What's up to?

156
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: I'm looking at mad Staffer, crazy crazy crazy. Just wait

157
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: to get to staff you shake out, you say so,

158
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: you too, my easy lion, easy, you might get you're

159
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: too young. You'll know, you'll know. It was when Forrest

160
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: Whittaker played Jefferson and Fast Times to Richmond High. Yeah,

161
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: he would look at crazy after the quarterback as they

162
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: smashed up his trans hand car. But anyway, that's way

163
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: way back high red. That is how Michael Parks is

164
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: gonna be looking trying to get up to a gap here. Um,

165
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: this this is this is another opportunity that the Cowboys,

166
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: even though Vegas says there a four point underdog, they

167
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: gotta feel good about defensive Yeah they should. It's funny though,

168
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: Um coming out of the Washington game. I know a

169
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: friend of both of ours, Jp Finley, and I were

170
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: talking before the game. He covers the Commanders, and he

171
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: was talking about how man that this Washington old line

172
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: it's so porous, it's so bad. Dala pass rush is

173
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: so good. So it feels like the type of week

174
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: where then they get like one sack and then they

175
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: got too and so like I mean, it's one of

176
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: those where it's just like when there's such a clear

177
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: weak spot and such a strength of somebody else, it's

178
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: almost like those teams going to that game going like

179
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: this is the one thing if nothing else, we got

180
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: to make sure we slow down and stop. And so

181
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: I kind of wonder if we are going to see

182
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: as an aggressive an approach or have as much success

183
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: at San Francisco does, because I'm sure the Rams are

184
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: gonna go in this week and go if anything else,

185
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: we got to stop. Like Michael Parsons, we gotta take

186
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: De Marcus Swords out again. We gotta do everything we

187
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: have max protect whatever. But then again, there's also Sean

188
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: McVay kind of is who he is, and I don't

189
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: know that he's going to change up his philosophy on

190
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: offense just to, you know, protect the quarterback. I'm sure

191
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: for them it's more about I'll get the ball out faster,

192
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: get the ball out, quicker, scheme this up different, do

193
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: this different. But I think that this is a I

194
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: felt good about this matchup before the game against San Francisco.

195
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: I still feel really good about Dallas's defense in the

196
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: way that they're able to match up against the Rams

197
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:57,599
Speaker 1: and do things there. It's just going to be a

198
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: matter of can you score enough points If I'm Nevill

199
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: Gallimar and also Diggi Zula and the interior of this

200
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: defensive line. You talked about the guys that they're playing

201
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: in the interior for the Rams on the offensive line,

202
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: I'm looking at my chops and it was good to

203
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: seek as one of the things, and Bobby knows this

204
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: that I talked about going in the season was I

205
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: want to see Nevil Gallimar not just affect the pocket

206
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: and get helped, you know, help the run game, but

207
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: affect the pocket even more. And you saw some of

208
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: that on Sunday, which I think is a good sign

209
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: for the growth and development of a player like him,

210
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: to show some more dimensions of his game. And now

211
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: he's starting to get out to the court even more.

212
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: Even more so to your point, they came in the

213
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: rams did they went into Monday night football against the

214
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers, and they were already depleted

215
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, particularly the interior as you stayed

216
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: at NEWI, but even more so now because now they

217
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: need to find out what's going on with Shelton who

218
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: went down. He was your backup center. They had to

219
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: put Colony in. He's your third string center who was

220
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: actually a guard. Right, So their interior line offensive line

221
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: is that much weaker as we have this conversation than

222
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: it was even twenty four to forty eight hours ago.

223
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: So going to Kevin's point, if I'm Neville, if I'm

224
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: you know, Chauncey if I'm Osa, if I'm big Quentin,

225
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: and Quintin is expected to practice this week, that would

226
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: have been a huge loss for the Cowboys. But looks

227
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: like he's gonna go. We'll see how the week goes.

228
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: But I mean Tristan Hill, Triston Hill flashed last week

229
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: as well. Of course, you you the bookends are always

230
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: going to get the most notable headlines, right You're Michael Parson, Joy,

231
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence, Dante followers coming on strong now. But this interior,

232
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just the matchup. The Rams don't have

233
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: the personnel to stop the Cowboys interior defensive lineman who

234
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: in and of their own right could go against some

235
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: of the best other interior that counterparts offensive counterparts. And

236
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: you know it's just not there for Los Angeles right now.

237
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: So let me also at this. And they couldn't run

238
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: the ball last night, could not run the ball. And

239
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: if you're going to beat the Cowboys, and we look

240
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: with the last two years, the recipe to be in Cowboys,

241
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: he needs to run the ball. Go back to the

242
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: playoff game, sho mean, babe ran it down their throats.

243
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: Two guys ran over one hundred yards. If Washington had

244
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: committed to the run game on Sunday, it could have

245
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: been a lot more different than what it was. So

246
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: so that's my other thing with the Rams is the

247
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: magic thing that McVay had to beat the Cowboys in

248
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: the past about running the ball right now, they don't.

249
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: You can't run when you don't have the offensive linemen

250
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: up there. It's just about mcvay's going to try to

251
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: do is he's going to try to take one page

252
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: out of the Commander's book from Sunday, which is the

253
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: Commander's definitely couldn't run up the A or B. But

254
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: they were burning the left edge, which is the right

255
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: side of the Cowboys defensive line pretty regularly tampon McKinney right.

256
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: So if you're Dan quinn, you're a red circle around

257
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: the right side of your defensive line. As long as

258
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: you can show up that edge, the big guys in

259
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: the middle, they're going to eat because it's the personnail

260
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: matchup is a nightmare for the Rams, and then everything

261
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: just starts to cascade in your favor from there. If

262
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: you're the Cowboys, I look at the Rams and Super

263
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: Bowl champions, and I have this one thing that I

264
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: do wonder about how much are you still celebrating what

265
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: you did last year? When I went to Philadelphia the

266
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: year after they won the Super Bowl, I said it

267
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: was if they're not gonna win it again, you know

268
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: that year they're not winning a yet, They're they're still

269
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: having too much fun. They're still celebratings everywhere. You're at

270
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: a certain point in time, and Nick Nick Saban talks

271
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: about it, and even a great Popovich, you gotta take

272
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: what you did last year, and it's got to be

273
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: last year. There were just too many reminded, too many

274
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: parties that they wanted to still haven't filling up. But

275
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: what we want, we want. Guess what, folks, people are

276
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: not coming to kick your championship. Okay, that's what they're

277
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: They're coming to get a taste. And I'm wondering, and

278
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: I'll talk to some people out there in Los Angeles

279
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: this week, how much are they still celebrating that title?

280
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: I think quite a bit, to be honest, and especially

281
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: in the fashion in which the Super Bowl concluded. I mean,

282
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: the Bengals were right there, right and it's arguable that

283
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: a non call kept the Bengals away, you know, from

284
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl championship. So you have the Rams winning

285
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: and then you look at the market. It's Los Angeles,

286
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: it's Hollywood, it's Hey, you know, it's pomping circumstances, all

287
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: of this great stuff. But then it rolls over and

288
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: like you said, they're still kind of you know, they

289
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: came into this season still kind of feeling themselves a

290
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 1: bit some glitter, and then they had some offseason question marks.

291
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: Is Aaron Donald going to retire, is he's not going

292
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: to retire. Is Sean McVeigh going to stick with us?

293
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: Is he not gonna stick with us? So it's not

294
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: as if they ran into a clean off season. So

295
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: you have a kind of a tumultuous offseason for the

296
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: most part, in addition to kind of still feeling really

297
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: good about themselves. I would put it the way that

298
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: my late grandma used to say, you're smelling yourself, right,

299
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: You're walking around smelling yourself. What you should do is

300
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: focus on and I like what Dan Quinn always says,

301
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: be where your feet are, and it's showing that they're not.

302
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: Because Matthew Stafford, he's always been kind of the up

303
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: and down. He'll either be an all pro on any

304
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: given game, day, or he'll be, you know, just the

305
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: worst thing smoking on any given game day. But more

306
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: often than not this season, he's just not doing it,

307
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: and when it comes to clutch, it's just not there

308
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: for him. I saw stat last night in the fourth quarter,

309
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: no touchdowns to three interceptions. He had a pick six

310
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: last night, almost had a second pick six. If wanna

311
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: doesn't drop that ball, pressure pusts pipes, bad offensive lineman. Yeah, yeah, honestly,

312
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: how much more is that elbow actually a real problem

313
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: than what he's been little one? I think that's a

314
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: big concern for the rams that you're talking about and

315
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: the cycle. The psychological aspect of knowing that your elbow

316
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: isn't one hundred percent healthy and you're standing behind an

317
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: offensive line. I mean, he's not gonna pick six is regardless,

318
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: but the elbow don't help. When you have Gus bearing

319
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: down in the back of your head, you're like, oh man,

320
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: they hit this elbow through times. He had nineteen to Cooper.

321
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: You guys are awfully kind to give him that covering

322
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: fire about his elbow. I'll just say, like the Matthews,

323
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: but that's Matthew Staffords. Matthew Stafford. This is the same

324
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: guy to me, like like the guys here out there,

325
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: that's the same guy. He's gone through a rough patch,

326
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: like he tends to do throughout his career. He will

327
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: always turn the ball over. I think the thing that's

328
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: that's the difference right now is they're not able to

329
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: block for him. So a guy who's already a guy

330
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: who takes chances and believes a little too much in

331
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: his own arm at times, and and makes bad decisions sometimes.

332
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: Now you're adding the factor of pressure and more, you know,

333
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: frenetic energy around him and having him go oh and

334
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: like he's making even worse decisions. And I think that's

335
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: what you're seeing. I think you're seeing the function of

336
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: This is what Matthew Stafford looks like when they can't

337
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: block for him. Sorry, Highland Park, Well listen, it hurts

338
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: me as well. Go dogs. So but the objective is

339
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: the objective as far as analysis goes in. You know, Stafford,

340
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: he's a legend in Athans and I love him to

341
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: death for that. But at the NFL level, he is

342
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: what he is. And like I said, there is no

343
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: in between, there's no gray area. He's either way up

344
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: there or way down here. All right, let's take our

345
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: first break. Jerry Jones spoke about Dak Prescott and also

346
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: want to get your impressions now that we've seen four games, okay,

347
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: four games in the National Football League, what is your

348
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: impression of the rest of the NFC? Right now? Cowboys

349
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: three and one? Right now, we've got Bobby Belt, got

350
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: Kevin Gray, We've got Patrick Walker. Knew he scruts meety

351
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: mash right, he on Dascott? What's that com? Todd thought

352
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: it would be secure to jog in the cheetah Savanna.

353
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought online was reliable.

354
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: And now Todd is trying to be faster than this

355
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. But the

356
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: good news is Todd has AT and T five G.

357
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the

358
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: best thing to do is stop running and toss her

359
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: the backpack with the beef stew At and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure,

360
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: It's not complicated. Five G requires compatible plan and device

392
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: stop right, Please don't know. Jerry Jones came on you

393
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: guys Station one to five three of the Family, his

394
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: weekly eight thirty appears with Sean and r J. And

395
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: he said DoD can't grip the ball right now, not

396
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: the way he needs to see it for a football game.

397
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: I had said Monday, I expect Cooper Rush to be

398
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: starting quarterback based on what he said on your radio

399
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: show today, Kevin, I'll let you start. Is Cooper Rush

400
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: getting starting against the Rams? Yes? Yes? When he said

401
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: that he cannot grip a football right now. And on

402
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: top of the factor McCarthy's like, hey, he needs to

403
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 1: go through a full week of practice. He's not playing

404
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and which I'm okay with. The earliest I

405
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: want to see him back is against Philadelphia. Low key.

406
00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: I don't really don't want to see him until they

407
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: I can take on the Lions and the Bears and

408
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: back to back home games before the other bye week.

409
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: So if he's able to go against Philly, fantastic. If

410
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: he's not able to go against Philly, no harm, no foul,

411
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: We'll see him when the Lions and the finding binding

412
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: kneecamps of Dan Campbell come to AT and T Stadium

413
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: and we'll go from there. But yeah, I'm not surprised

414
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: at all that Jerry had said, Hey, look he can't

415
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: grip the football. To me, that means he's not playing

416
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I'm just on that point. I'm a little different.

417
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: I'm not on the side that would say if he's

418
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: ready for Philly grade if he's not, like I want

419
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: to if he can be ready for Philly, then you're

420
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: about there. Against Philly. I guess the original time of

421
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: six to eight weeks, which is normal for this kind

422
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 1: of injury, and the earliest you could see him back

423
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 1: is Philly. If he's there, that's great. But I mean

424
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: that's the thing if they if they're if they're told like, hey,

425
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: he can get ready, or it's even like, hey, this

426
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: is where we're kind of right on the border line,

427
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: all right, if if he can get ready, like get

428
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: him ready, then but like, like that's just where I'm at.

429
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to play it ultra conservative with Philly

430
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: on there. I feel like if it was reversed, if

431
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: it's Chicago and Detroit and I feel, all right, I

432
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: can play it's a little more conservative. I can have

433
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush go out there and play these couple of games.

434
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: But man, a division game against what is, in all

435
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: likelihood right now the top team in the NFC because

436
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: of just the the NFC is not what I think

437
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: a lot of us expected some of these teams to

438
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: look like. You know, and the fact that you've been

439
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: able to hold things down Will Dak has been out

440
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: that game. If you lose it because you don't have

441
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott out there, that may matter at the end

442
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: of the season when you're talking about tiebreakers and things

443
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: like that. And so to me, it's if he can

444
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: be ready for that game. Get him ready, so I

445
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to jeopardize it. In terms of this week,

446
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to rush him back this week. Just

447
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: make sure you get ready for Philly, because that's more important,

448
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: important than the Rams to and I agree. I'm on

449
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: the record on talking Cowboys in just any format that

450
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: I could say it. I'm totally fine with Dak Prescott

451
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: not taking the field against Los Angeles. Totally fine with that.

452
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: And to Kevin's point, when you hear Jerry Jones, which

453
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: is to you know, the eternal optimists come out and

454
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: fled out say, you know, quote unquote, he's not gripping

455
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: the ball enough to play, okay, you know, even though

456
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: Jerry then followed up and said, well, let's see how

457
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: the week goes. Okay, we know how it's going to go.

458
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: For the most part, I expect to see Dak Prescott

459
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: makes some more progress, but I don't see him on

460
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: the field as so far. Stadium that said, I am

461
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: of the mindset that I want him and I believe

462
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: that he will be as close to one hundred percent,

463
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: if not one hundred percent, by the time Philly rolls around.

464
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: We'll see how these next several days go. But if

465
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: he is in fact ready to go for Philly, doesn't

466
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: matter what happens against the Rams, doesn't matter. If Cooper

467
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: Rush goes in there and you know the defense helps

468
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: him win the game, you gotta put him in because

469
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott is coming off of not only an injury,

470
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: but the worst game of his NFL career in Week one,

471
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: So there's no guarantee he's going to hit the ground

472
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: running coming off of a game like that, and coming

473
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: off of an injury with a wide receiver corps that

474
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: looks different than it did in Week one because Gallup

475
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: is back now, so they got to re establish a

476
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: little bit of chemistry there, right Ceedee Lamb, Noah Brown

477
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: is now you're definitive number three guy. Things have to

478
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: sort out. I want Dak Prescott in Philadelphia to play

479
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: the Eagles because if there are going to be some

480
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: hiccups in this train, it needs to happen then so

481
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: that then you can come home for two games iron

482
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: it out against the Lions and Bears, and then you

483
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: got a bye week, and then guess what comes after

484
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: the bye week, the all important second half of the season.

485
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: Late October November December. That's what matters more. I don't

486
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: want to stall this out if I don't have to,

487
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: and bring Dak Prescott back closer to the bye. After

488
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: the bye, those games matter more on the second half

489
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: of the season than right now. All of them matter.

490
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: But if you're going to get some wrinkles that you

491
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: need to iron out, iron them out as soon as possible.

492
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: Calvin Watkins with a Dak Prescott update on Twitter. He says,

493
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: fract you're still healing the plate and the screws. Given

494
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: a chance for a quicker return, strength is not good

495
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: enough to play. According to a person with knowledge of

496
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: the injury, I'm gonna go back to something you said here, Bob.

497
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: I think the I'm not as concerned about the Eagle

498
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: as much as I'm concerned about the RAM game. And

499
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: here's why. Okay, I expect the Cowboys to go six

500
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: and over the division again, playing them up there on

501
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: a Sunday, you know, on a Sunday and night before

502
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: the season. I wrote that down as an l This

503
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 1: is a potential win against a team that that's got

504
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: some issues, and it's kind of made for you in

505
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: terms of look, your strength is their weakness, and you've

506
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: got a quarterback who's playing well, you gotta run. You've

507
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore's decided to he will run the football. Stick

508
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: with it. This is a game. To me, you gotta

509
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: get this one. You gotta get to four and one.

510
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: If you're sitting at four and two after you play Philadelphia,

511
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: to me that you're you're good. You're you're good. If

512
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: that's the case. Yeah, But I mean, here's the thing

513
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: that I look at it. With the Rams would be

514
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: one of the least consequential games to tiebreakers at the

515
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: end of the season. Eagles don't play the Rams this year,

516
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: so it's not a common opponent, so that's not one

517
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: of the tie breakers. Like, to me, it's more important

518
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: about that game. I'm not saying I want to like

519
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: I'd prefer they lose to the Rams. Clearly, you want

520
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: them to get it regardless. But but if you're telling

521
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: me that you know, rush things back and and risk

522
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: things by bringing back downs the Rams, that's less important

523
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: to me than it is to just handle Philadelphia, Because

524
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: to me, it's you know, you're talking about tiebreakers not

525
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,959
Speaker 1: even mattering as much. If you start, like, you know,

526
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: if you drop games to the Eagles then, and you

527
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: dropped a game to the Rams, like, I don't think

528
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: you're coming out of this four and two, Like I

529
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: think that if you lose to the Rams, you're probably

530
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: losing the following week. If it's you risk back, who

531
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: do you win the division? To share? Philly Philly? I

532
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: had Philly two. So this this was a game that

533
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: I had. I initially had Dallas, I had Philly. After

534
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: injuries started, I had a split. I had some change,

535
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: but still stuck with that because because of the defense.

536
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: I mean seriously, because in defense, I felt like the defense,

537
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: I felt like you know, I said this before Cooper

538
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: Rush took his first nap in twenty twenty two. I said,

539
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: I believe he's a capable quarterback. The only thing I

540
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: needed to see was what I call the five percent

541
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: from him, and the five percent being the clutch factor.

542
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: And you know, when the game is, when the chips

543
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: are down, adversity is slapping you around. Can you show

544
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: me something? Right? He has been showing me. But the

545
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: defense was the reason that I didn't switch over. And

546
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: I still believe that the Cowboys can do it. But

547
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: here's to your point. Every game matters and that should

548
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: be a given. Shouldn't have to state it, but we

549
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: know how to twitter. Streeer gets if I say Apple,

550
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, I hate oranges. Before Cooper

551
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 1: Rush took his first start this season, I was asked,

552
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: you know, if you have to go two and two

553
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: over these next four games, choose your two wins and

554
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: choose your two losses. Gun to your head, what you're

555
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: gonna do. I was like, if it has to come

556
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: to that, I'm final losing to the Bengals AFC team.

557
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: You want that win. But if you got to lose that, fine,

558
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: I'm even find losing to the Rams because yes, NFC team,

559
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: but not a arrival. You beat your divisional rivals because

560
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 1: that's the double level. That's the double level. So that

561
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,959
Speaker 1: goes to Bobby's point. You want to march into Sofi,

562
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: which is going to be a home game for the Cowboys.

563
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: By the way, say this time and time again, so

564
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: Cal fans. And that's what I love about what Brought

565
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: has said on the break earlier. It's it's a fact.

566
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: But you're if you're the Cowboys, you're gonna have the

567
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: fans behind you. You're gonna have the defensive advantage over

568
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: their offensive line. To Cider, it said, or your strength

569
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,959
Speaker 1: for itsus their weakness. You should win this game. But

570
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: if for whatever reason something goes wrong, can you don't

571
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: win this game? It's okay, You're three and two, and

572
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: now it becomes that much more pivotal for you to

573
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: march into Philadelphia, which is now, this is why you

574
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: need Dak Prescott healthy for that. This is why, because

575
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: that game matters more. Not to say the LA game

576
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Of course it does, and it's an NFC game,

577
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: But to Bobby's point, Philly matters more. Bottom line, Yeah,

578
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: and I don't I mean, not to get too far ahead,

579
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: but I mean, like I think that the Cowboys can

580
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: go in there and win this football game with Hilper Rush.

581
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: I think that I think they have. I think if

582
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: they go into the film, I think I mean, before

583
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: the season started, like coming in, if we thought that

584
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: the Rams game was a game that you could potentially

585
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 1: win with a backup quarterback, that's just where we are

586
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 1: right now, which is amazing too. I think if they

587
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: go into Philly with Cooper Rush, I'd have a hard

588
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: time seeing them winning that game. So that's to me,

589
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: why it's more important to I think Cooper Rush has

590
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 1: a chance to handle the Rams game. I think it'd

591
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: be a lot tougher for this team going and beat

592
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: Philly in Philly if they're having to run out there

593
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: with Cooper Rush. I'll tell you what, Dak Prescott runs

594
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: out of that locker room at the link with this team.

595
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: You talk about an emotional charge here comes with us. Yeah, boy,

596
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: And I think honestly though to that point. That's why

597
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: I want him to be as healthy as he can.

598
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 1: And for me, the psychological part is he gets two

599
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: home games. You get the Lions and the Bears. If

600
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: you get to hang out from the Rams and the

601
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: Eagles game, but you get to come home for back

602
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: to back home games and you're as close to one

603
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: hundred percent as you can be. I would much rather

604
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: be in that scenario knowing that you got a chance

605
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: to win two home games against two opponents that you

606
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: should beat. Regardless of who the quarterback is. You should

607
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: be able to get those two at home. Those Lions, though,

608
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they're competitive, but you still should be able

609
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: to beat them in this building with Dak as your

610
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. I haven't taken a business analytics class last year,

611
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: just learning about the regression to the mean, going six

612
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: and oh in your division, it's a it's an accomplishment

613
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: in this league. Not not many folks can do that,

614
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: and just the regression to meet mean, Okay, chances are

615
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: you're going to fall back again. I just don't see

616
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: them doing that. I think you know, in your in

617
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: your best case, you'd like a four and two every

618
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: year four and two, and you're gonna be able to

619
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: get yourself where you're gonna go. So I just don't

620
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: see them win the division, which is why when I

621
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: was looking at this year, I picked Philly to win

622
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: the division. I said, this is a game that I

623
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: thought Philly would be able to get at home. You know,

624
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: those folks are gonna be charged up. Uh, they will

625
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: be in first place most likely when they play um

626
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: and if they won't be, they'll probably be tied with

627
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. So it's gonna be in a whole lot

628
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: fun game. Yeah. Yeah, and it's on Sunday night football,

629
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: it is. I am not I'm not going. I am

630
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: not going to that one. Oh you're not going to

631
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: the Philly game. And safety first, so so so Kevin

632
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: A couple of things we started figuring out when we

633
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: went to Philadelphia. We don't wear anything that says NBC

634
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: five on it, dope, the mic flag. We take the

635
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: little block off because these are give them us. They're crecy.

636
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: They know who's out of town, they know who's not local.

637
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: They come after you, man, I mean we just we

Speaker 1: the family. Jerry Jones on the air saying, you know what,

716
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott not really gripping the football the way he

717
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,400

718
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: saying he's gonna play. He won't play against the ram

719
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: So I'm we're all expecting to see Cooper rush one

720
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: more round, dude, So I'm gonna start over here with you. Patrick,

721
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: give me one positive so far in the season you like,

722
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: and one concern. And the one positive Jerry hats when

723
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 1: Sean and r J asked him, I want to five

724
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: three the fan? You see yourself at three and one.

725
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: He's like, no, I ain't not vision this right here.

726
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: So what do you have? Huge positive? It's the defense.

727
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: Came into this season believing that the defense had a

728
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: chance to be super Bowl caliber, and through four games,

729
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: they've shown me that they are exactly that, not that

730
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: they can be, but that they are exactly that. You

731
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: shut down, Tom Brady. You didn't get the win, but

732
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't your fault. You're shutting down Tom Brady, you

733
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: shut down Joe Burrow hod off of a Super Bowl appearance.

734
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: You've only allowed four touchdowns through four games. I mean,

735
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: it's unreal. It's unreal. So the defense, I can't say

736
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: enough about them at every level. They have impact players

737
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: at every level. Go ahead, go your neat negative. I'm

738
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: still looking at the left guard position only because now

739
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: you figured that you had it mostly figured out, funny out,

740
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: played solid, but then Jason Peters came in, played mostly well,

741
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: but they're still ramping him up. And Connor McGovern was back,

742
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: but he was back off of injury. And now the

743
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: question becomes who who I know who my left guard is,

744
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: my starting left guard is. It's it's Jason Peters, but

745
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: they're really want to try to work Connor McGovern in,

746
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: So like, how does this work? And now you're going

747
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: against the Los Angeles RAMS team who pays this guy

748
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: what's his name? What's his name? Aaron Donald? Right, So

749
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: you know, still a little bit of concern. Now Tyler

750
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: Smith huge positive on the left side, but left guard,

751
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: because it's still a question mark. They've played above par,

752
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 1: but they're really about to get tested. Ye oh boy,

753
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: my one positive, one positive. I'm gonna go with Donovan

754
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: Wilson because don't people and Bobby will laugh at me

755
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 1: when I didn't say this, But Donovan Wilson has a chance,

756
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: listen to me, has a chance to be the Cowboys

757
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: version of Cam Chancellor. Now. I know, Cam Chancellor had

758
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,919
Speaker 1: much more natural instincts, was a guy that can only

759
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: intercept the ball. It was a ball hawkers, thumper, all

760
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: those things. But the way that Donovan Wilson has played

761
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: and the consistency that you're starting to see him play

762
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: with with a little more control and with a little

763
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: more I guess controlled aggression if you will, He's got

764
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 1: a chance to be a real player in this defense

765
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: for a long time. I know they got to make

766
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: a decision obviously when jay Ron Curse comes back. I

767
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: think they'll go with jay Ron Curse once he comes back,

768
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: obviously because he's the one getting paid. But for Donovan Wilson,

769
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: I love his play, I love his physicalness, and I

770
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 1: love the one he's gotten after it so far. The

771
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: one thing I think that still concerns me is the

772
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: run defense. A little bit. We talked about a little

773
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: bit earlier. If Washington commits to the run on Sunday,

774
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: we're talking about it, maybe a little bit different ball game.

775
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 1: We saw what happening ast Tampa Bay. They were able

776
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 1: to overcome that. I still want to see the run

777
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: defense get a little bit better. But my positive Donovan Wilson,

778
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: my negative would be the run defense at this point

779
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: just really quickly. I'm at curse will come back and

780
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: he'll get those reps. I wonder if the one who

781
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 1: gets the snaps taken at their expense is less Donovan

782
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,720
Speaker 1: Wilson and more Anthony Barr. When you look at positive

783
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: and negative, a'll go same position. So positive Noah Brown

784
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: that we've seen August to Noah every year he's been here,

785
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: and it's been man training camp, superstar Noah Brown, and

786
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: it's never translated, it's never carried over, And so I

787
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 1: think it's been big that that has carried over like flat.

788
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: This football team's two and two right now without him,

789
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: because if he doesn't make any of the plays in Cincinnati,

790
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: they lose. Any one of those catches he doesn't make,

791
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: they lose that football game to Cincinnati. And so Noah

792
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: Brown carrying over, I think is a big positive. On

793
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: the other end of that spectrum, they needed Jaylen Tilbert

794
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: to come in here and play. They needed him to

795
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: come in and be a factor early on, and they've

796
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: just gotten nothing. And that's been incredibly disapointed. I don't

797
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: think that speaks to his future. I don't think we

798
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: can make any proclamations about, well, look what a mistake

799
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: was to trap this guy. Still think Jaylen t Tolbert's

800
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: going to be a really good football player. It has

801
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: been you can't call it anything else other than a

802
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: massive disappointment though that he hasn't been able to contribute

803
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: really at all through four weeks in a receiving corps

804
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: that really needed people to step up. My positive, I

805
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: gotta tie Tyler Smith left tackle. You're not hearing his name.

806
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: I was concerned, think about this man, didn't spend any

807
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: time and left tackle and training camp, and he is

808
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,240
Speaker 1: now four games in the National Football League. He hasn't

809
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: hurt you. He's played so well. You're when I heard

810
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones this morning, I want to five three to

811
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: the fans table. We're getting Tyran Smith back, and you

812
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: got to ask yourself, by the time Tyre Smith is

813
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: ready to come back. Should he have his job back?

814
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: I mean so so right there for me, Tyler Smith,

815
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, okay, wait till this young man really

816
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: starts to figure out what he's understanding, what he's gonna do.

817
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 1: They have drafted their left tackle of the future here,

818
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: So to me, that's one bit positive. I'm gonna see

819
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 1: the other tie for the positive. Brett mahert ten of

820
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: eleven Field Balsam training camp. It was scary, but we

821
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: were watching. Okay, man, this was not professional football kicking, right,

822
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,760
Speaker 1: but what are they doing? And literally you got fans

823
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: like you watch out like fans understand up, watch out.

824
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: You could get got these balls because you didn't know

825
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,280
Speaker 1: where they were going. Man, it was not good. So

826
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: so props to Brett maher and Tyler Smith for going

827
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: out there doing a job in the Cowboy. We're not

828
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: talking about two critical positions in the National Football League.

829
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 1: My negative run defense it's got to improve. Yep. You're

830
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: gonna have a hard time winning in the playoffs if

831
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 1: you cannot do a better job of solidifying yourself and

832
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 1: stopping run games on other teams. So that's the one

833
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: negative that I see there. And let's see what they do.

834
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,959
Speaker 1: It gonna be tough for the Rams to run the ball.

835
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: And if the Rams run the ball this weekend, then

836
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 1: that'll be a big concern of mine. The Rams able

837
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,919
Speaker 1: to run the ball on this Cowboys team, considering they're

838
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: going to have backups at both guard spots and the center. Yeah,

839
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: and plus it will take pressure off of Stafford in

840
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: a situation where you need the pressure on Matthew Stafford, Right,

841
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: You need to apply pressure to Matthew Stafford. You need

842
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: to rattle him early. You need to get him lacking

843
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: confidence in that offensive line in front of him early

844
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: in the game so that as the game goes on,

845
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: he trusts them less and less and he begins to

846
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 1: get rid of the ball in bad ways more and more.

847
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: To the point, where as we talked about zero touchdowns

848
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: to three interceptions in the fourth quarter of this season

849
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: through four games, one of which is a pick six,

850
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: could have been two pick six. Is he can be rattled?

851
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: Kevin made an excellent point. Is the elbow healthy? Is

852
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 1: it not? If you allow the Rams to run the ball,

853
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: you're taking pressure off of Matthew Stafford, and that can

854
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: lose you this game. Well, you're forty one minutes into

855
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: the show. But I must make sure we address this

856
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: on the media match. We talked about it on my

857
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 1: podcast with the Fellas players. Lage, I'm sure you talked

858
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: about your as well. But give me your opinion on

859
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy having this team at three and one right now,

860
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: with three wins with Cooper Rush as a quarterback. Bobby Yeah.

861
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: I think everybody from McCarthy to the off the coaches

862
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball have stepped up

863
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: and done a really good job. And look, it's so

864
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: easy that when Dak Prescott goes down and he's I

865
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: mean he's still in the building, but he's essentially isolated

866
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: from what they're doing on the football field, and they're

867
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: not getting that leadership and that sort of sort of

868
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: stabilizing factor. Could have been really easy for things to

869
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: turn south fast after week one, especially just with the

870
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: demeanor of this football team. So I think Mike McCarthy

871
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: deserves a lot of credit for that. We've heard, you know,

872
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: in that second game Kellen Moore talking about Mike McCarthy

873
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: clicked over told them like, hey, get a play ready

874
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: for fourth down if we don't get this, and really

875
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: taking a more aggressive approach. So I think he deserves

876
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: credit for that, and I think there's a ton of

877
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: credit that needs to be given to Joe Philbin, Jeff Blasco,

878
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,399
Speaker 1: the offensive line coaches there, what they've done to help

879
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: stabilize what was a lot of uncertainty on the offensive line.

880
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: It hasn't been perfect, but it's been a whole lot

881
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: better than I think a lot of people were fearing

882
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: it might be. And then Kellen Moore for helping to

883
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: devise really solid game plans and really you know, comfortable

884
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: game plans for what they want to do with Cooper Rush.

885
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: You know, Mike McCarthy talked about there, there's times you

886
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: can call a game to where you're playing not to

887
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: lose and where you're playing to win, and he's like,

888
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: we're playing to win, and they're doing that. But it's

889
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: definitely adjusted. They've taken some things away, they're doing things

890
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: all differently, and Kellen Moore has done a really good

891
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: job of finding out where are we going to best

892
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: be able to succeed with Coopers in there too. Absolutely,

893
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: at Wells deserves a ton of credit. Jake Ferguson, Peyton

894
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 1: Hender Shot and play Games and even though I know

895
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 1: Dalton Schaltz struggles this year, Dalton Schaltz is an improved blocker,

896
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: a much more improved blocker. He was. It was tough

897
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: sledding first couple of years. He's been good this year

898
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: as a blocker out there. And that's something again that

899
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,439
Speaker 1: Lunda Wells I think deserves a lot of credit for. Yeah,

900
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: I think mcgrunthy gives gets a lot of credit for

901
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 1: what's happening around here, and that's not something that I

902
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: think a lot of Cowboys fans thought coming into this

903
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,439
Speaker 1: year we would be saying, and he's even joked about,

904
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,479
Speaker 1: like heaven forbid, you know, the coach gets in credit

905
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: around here for what's happening with Cooper Russian this football team.

906
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,439
Speaker 1: But you know, I am to go back to last

907
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: year or as I said, the year before when Dak

908
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: went down with the ankle injury. Yes, as poor as

909
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: it was of a season, we're still talking about a

910
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: team that still technically had a chance to win a

911
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 1: division in twenty twenty. So I think he deserves a

912
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: lot of credit for the way that the culture around

913
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,439
Speaker 1: here has been built. And it's been a slow burn,

914
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: but at the same time, it's starting to happen. I

915
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,760
Speaker 1: think even you're seeing how they're galvanized around Cooper Russis

916
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: last three weeks, I think you you absolutely have to

917
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: not only give McCarthy some roses right now, and obviously

918
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: there's still a lot of football left to play, but

919
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: you have to just give him at least his first

920
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: bouquet as the first quarter of the season begins to end.

921
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: Think about all that he was walking into in twenty

922
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: twenty two. The Sean Payton you know narrative and oh,

923
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: by the way, if it's not Sean Payton, it might

924
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: be your own defensive coordinator Ciera et citera. And you

925
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: hear comments like what Jerry Jones said, as far as

926
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 1: you know, keeping dan Quinn on board, don't have to

927
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: rehash you already know. But you go through all of that,

928
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: and you see the team opt to move on from

929
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: a four time Pro bowler and Amari Cooper and you know,

930
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 1: almost lose de Marcus Lawrence and then Cidera et cetera.

931
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: So much going on, and then week one what happens.

932
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: Your offense just wets the bed completely, and in addition

933
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: to that, you lose Dak Prescott. Everything pointed to this

934
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: team collapsing, and now guess what, Maybe it is Sean

935
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: Payton time. Maybe it is time to promote dan quinnetcetera, etcetera. Well,

936
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: all McCarthy does is mount the troops under Cooper Rush

937
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: and get to three and one and get out of

938
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: three and one. And keep in mind, this is the

939
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: same Mike McCarthy who showed me he's willing to adapt.

940
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: A lot of people were wondering when he came in

941
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: is he willing to adapt into any capacity? Okay, made

942
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: the gregious mistake with Mike Nolan. One year later, you're fired.

943
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn is in dan Quinn's defense, is in his

944
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: defensive staff, Al Harris and those guys George Edwards. You know,

945
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: those guys are a large part of the reason you

946
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: are three and one. So as much as we give

947
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: the credit to dan Quinn, who was also integral and

948
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: bringing in dan quinny's Mike McCarthy. When you talk about

949
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: building up in and keeping the right guys around, Lunda

950
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: Wells and Joe Philbin and the job he's done after,

951
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,839
Speaker 1: you know, being one guy who a lot of fans.

952
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 1: You gotta get this guy out of here. Tyler Smith.

953
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 1: We can't can You can't separate the praise for Tyler

954
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: Smith from praise for Joe Philbin and Jeff Blast on

955
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: the job. Those guys are doing this. This is McCarthy

956
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: and his coaching staff and the players all buying into

957
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: the same edict, which this year is resiliency, and they

958
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: show it time and again. So we talk about things

959
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 1: trickling down. At the pinnacle of this, at the zenith

960
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 1: of this coaching staff is Mike McCarthy, and it seems

961
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: like everything he's teaching, everything he's preaching is just funneling

962
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: down through osmosis through everybody. So give man Is Roses's

963
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 1: still a lot of work to be done. Cowboys need

964
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: to get into the playoffs and more importantly, need to

965
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: make a deep playoff run. But as we have this conversation,

966
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 1: McCarthy has this team at three and one when it

967
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: could easily be on for Patrick walk Dallas Cowboys dot Com.

968
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: Make sure your reader's work you got Kevin Gray one
