First 36 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: we'll start though with some injury updates. Jason Garrett had 37 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: his press conference this morning, talked about a few guys 38 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: that would return and one that would not. Tell me 39 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: what's up with the injuries for this team. I think 40 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: everybody's healthy except for well healthy no able to participate 41 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: in practice and potentially play. Yes, specifically the three that 42 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: were not at practice last or did not play last 43 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: week in heath and would they're all out there right, yeah, 44 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: back right. Layton vander esh Is is the one. And 45 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: at this point, you know, it's fair to wonder if 46 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: he's going to play again this year. I would lean 47 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: toward no, honestly, at least not in the regular season. 48 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: There's only three games left. If it's bad enough that 49 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: when did he When did he When did they set 50 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: him down Detroit? Yeah? Or was it before? Was it 51 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: the Giants game? It was a road game. He he 52 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: hurt himself against the Eagles, didn't come back against the Giants, right, 53 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: and then I don't remember if he played against the 54 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: Lions and play. It definitely was a road game because 55 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: walking off the plane, the flat tendant said, here, can 56 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: you give this neck pillow to Layton Vanderesh They ask you, yeah, 57 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: and I'm like, how do you always become the guy 58 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: that's supposed to be doing that kind of what do 59 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: you mean you got to help Tony up to podiums? Okay, 60 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: that's like ten years ago, I know, but still like 61 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: I got you Well, I don't know because it took 62 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: me a while to get my coat on whatever. And 63 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: so the flattendant was like, here's here's his neck pillow. 64 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: And I'm like, he doesn't want this, would you chase 65 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: him down? No? I didn't bring it to him, okay 66 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: until like I brought it to work, but I'm not 67 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: gonna take it in there until Wednesday of that week 68 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: and I said, you know, I got your neck pillow 69 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: and he was it was like a kid at towards 70 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: our roster was like, you've got my neck pillow. And 71 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: I was like, oh yeah, I'll bring it to you. 72 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: He's like, oh, thanks, dude's got a neck. He has 73 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: not played. He played against Detroit. He has the Detroit flight. 74 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: That's what it was. Um one flight wasn't four am 75 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: when we got bang. It's fair to wonder if he's 76 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: gonna play again this year, And I mean, it's a 77 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: neck injury. Honestly, I'm not sure that he should think. 78 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: You know, people saying why don't you just move him 79 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: to I R because he's a really good player. And 80 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: if there's even a slight chance that they think he 81 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: can help them, especially if they make it to the playoffs, 82 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure that's their thought process. But again for me, 83 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: I mean, if it's a neck injury and he did 84 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: have issues with it in college, if the fact, I 85 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: mean we've brought it up before the fact that Jason 86 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: Garrett said, we don't think it's career threatening, Like, if 87 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: it's even a possibility, it's okay to just call it 88 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 1: a year. I don't think anybody's gonna blame you for 89 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: that based on the injury in college. You got either 90 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: of you guys know if this injury is is the 91 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: same thing that's recurring or is this a different because 92 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you can hear neck, you can hear back, 93 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: you can hear arm, and you'll talk to medical trainers 94 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: and they'll tell you, hey, that's not really the same thing. 95 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: It's two different injuries. Even though it's the same area, 96 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: general area, it's two different issues. You guys know, if 97 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: this is actually a recurrence of what was happening in college, 98 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: I really don't. I honestly don't. And that's it's kind 99 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: of the nature of the beast with like an NFL beat, 100 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 1: Like there's so much stuff happening that it kind of 101 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: works in a cycle like that where you're like, Okay, 102 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: he's out for a while, don't need to worry about him. 103 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: There's enough stuff other going enough other stuff going on, 104 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: he's not going to play. And then right around now 105 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: you know he's gonna miss his fourth game in a row. 106 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: Probably is when people are like, Okay, how big of 107 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: how big of a problem is this? And so I think, 108 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: you know, I think Todd Archer reported earlier that they 109 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: were thinking about giving him more tests, but they decided 110 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: not to. So I think people are going to start 111 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: looking for more information about this because again before it's like, well, 112 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: he needs some time to get right and there's enough 113 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: to worry about without snooping around on Layton vandersh. But this, 114 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: if this is something that's going to keep him out 115 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: for potentially the final six weeks of the season, then yeah, 116 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: it's it's something worth looking. But this is the kind 117 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: of injury that it doesn't seem to be one of 118 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: those where you can create a timetable for it, where 119 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: it's kind of I would assume, do you feel good 120 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: now or you don't? You know, you don't. You can't 121 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: really when because it's like a stink what is it 122 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: called stinger? I mean, this is a neck injury. I'm 123 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: not sure the details of the neck injury. It's just 124 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: I thought I heard something about a sting. He suffered 125 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: a stinger against the Eagles, and that's what limit initiated. Yeah, 126 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: and I you would assume, you know, around the time 127 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: this happened. It was like, well, this is an after 128 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: effect of what happened to him in that game. And yeah, 129 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: I do not have a ton more information, but it's 130 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: not like you broke your hand then you know when 131 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: how long that's going to take to recover. This is 132 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: one of those that it's just going to be really 133 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: hard to figure out exactly when he comes back. Yeah, 134 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: scary part is when you're talking about next and backs, 135 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 1: like that's just that's never a good thing. And certainly, 136 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: again I agree with you the fact that Jason actually said, 137 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: there's you know, we don't think this is going to 138 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: be career threatening. Fact you had to have that. The 139 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: day he said that, I was like, that's a weird 140 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: thing to say. It jumped out to me for a 141 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: second year player, right, And so you would hope that 142 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: everything's going to be fine. They just need to let 143 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: this thing settle down and eventually it'll get to a 144 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: point where it's okay for him to be able to 145 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: resume playing, but we'll see how that goes here in 146 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: the next coming weeks. Let's go and jump into these storylines. 147 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: Nick walk us through some of the storylines this week. 148 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: Cowboys versus Rams. All right, the Rams, you know, we 149 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: all kind of know where they are. They're they're starting 150 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: to play like the team that you know went to 151 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl last year. I mean, they're not as good, 152 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: I don't think, but eight and five they kind of 153 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: turned things not as good as they were last year. 154 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: Well the record isn't I mean, I mean, I don't 155 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're as good. Sometimes you know, 156 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: first play, schedule, all that stuff goes into play. But 157 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: they did get you know, beat forty five to seven 158 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: at home by the Ravens, so that that's pretty ugly. 159 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: But the last two games they've kind of turned around, 160 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: big win over Seattle. One of their storyline storyline, sorry, 161 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: is the fact that they are also a team that 162 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: does not start really well. The last couple of games, 163 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: though they have scored touchdowns early in the game. That's 164 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: just the second time out of ten games or the 165 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: last ten games that they've scored on the opening drive. 166 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: They're getting outscored by their opponents in the first quarter 167 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: for eight forty two, but they can turn it on 168 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: in the second. So that's that's something. There um only 169 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: ten players in the NFL this season have caught seventy 170 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: passes and nine hundred receiving yards, and two of them 171 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: play for the Rams, so Cooper Cup and Robert Woods 172 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: also Marie Cooper doing that. So yeah, that's a lot 173 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: of guys are problem. Two guys that catch and they 174 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: also you know, get yards. Now, Cup has seven touchdowns. 175 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: He's a red zone threat for sure. No day will 176 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: talk about him. He's gonna get into also Todd Gurley 177 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: and the fact that you know he's got seven hundred 178 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: and seventy rushing yards. I think the biggest thing though, 179 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 1: is that he only has one hundred and sixty eight 180 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: receiving yards. He's not doing the double dual threat that 181 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: we've seen from him before. And then the last storyline 182 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: is if you talk about guys, you've talked about Aaron Donald. 183 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: He's a beast a song getting a quadruple teamed in 184 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: a game the other day. He still has eleven sacks. 185 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: He's only the second defensive tackle in the history of 186 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: the league with four seasons of eleven sacks or more. 187 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: And he's done it now three years in a row. 188 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: You know, I wish, I wish fans. I wish fans 189 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: could see this guy. I don't know if some of 190 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: them may have see this guy without pads on, Like 191 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: he is the most impressive looking, Like he's the guy 192 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: you get off the best the first because he's so 193 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: just big. He's a massive dude. And he's not a 194 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: fat dude at all, but he's just a rat, like 195 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: just a un Yeah. But he is a big guy. 196 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: And and you look at defensive tackles and you usually 197 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: think they're gonna be fat, They're gonna be like just 198 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: rolls head. Ain't that dude? Man? He is a He 199 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: is an impressive dude. I mean, you're not You're not wrong, 200 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: You're absolutely not wrong. He's got like an eight pack, 201 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: he's jacked, but he's like five ten yeah, And that's why, 202 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: I mean, he should have been a top five pick, 203 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: and his size hindered him in the eyes of value. 204 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: N I want to say tenh. I mean he he 205 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: absolutely he earned probably a million dollars with one play 206 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl. You know, people think Senior Bowl. 207 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of sorry. Even other than that, 208 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: I think Odell was tenth. There you go, so he 209 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: went third, Yeah, zag Martin went sixteen. Ah yeah, well yeah, shot, 210 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: the internet says he They're sitting there now together, both 211 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,719 Speaker 1: of them. I'm there's no question where I'm going. I 212 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: gotta take Donald. Yeah, Zach's really good, don't get me wrong, 213 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: it was actually really great. Okay, Donald's better. I mean 214 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: it's better. Yeah. I mean the thing about it is 215 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: you you give me, you give me a great offensive guard, 216 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: and he's got to be less impactful in a game 217 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: than a great defensive tackle. Right, So if you've got 218 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,599 Speaker 1: to split hairs between the two, I'm gonna take the 219 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: great defensive tackle Andnald depends. If that great guard is 220 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 1: facing that defensive tackle, then maybe he's not as impactful. 221 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: Maybe we'll find out Sunday though, because they're gonna face 222 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: each other a few times. But how often did that 223 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: happen last year? Like it? See, it didn't seem like 224 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: they were messed up. A hole was Connor the he's 225 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: the whisperer for Donald, He got the whisper Yeah, there 226 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: we go. I can say that because he's not gonna 227 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: play about to say this, Wow, Aaron Donald's gonna But 228 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: the difference is we'll talk about that tomorrow. Is I mean, 229 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: they don't have Sue who he was the one that 230 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: really heard him. I'm sure they have someone else that's 231 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: still have Mike Brocker's Who's I mean, I don't He's 232 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 1: not Aaron Donald problem. He's not Sue. He might him 233 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: and Sue might be comparable at this point. They dude, 234 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: they that when you start thinking about that defense, I'm 235 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: surprised they haven't been better than they are with the 236 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: guys that they've had it, even the guys that they've 237 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: had it throughout the year this year. We'll talk about 238 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: the defense to worrow. That's to worry about tomorrow.

But it's okay. 281 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: This We're getting there. I UM, first and foremost one 282 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: would like to thank you guys for giving us an opportunity, 283 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: us fans a platform to vorce our opinion and concerns 284 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: regarding the team and so on and so forth. UM 285 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: just wanted to to see or to have your take 286 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: on UM the offense, especially dak Um. I think I would. 287 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: I'll take him over Carson Wentz. But the one thing 288 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: that Carson Winks does that I don't see. I don't 289 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: think Dack does is UM Carson Wentz always on crucial situation, 290 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: he always goes and take pick out his best receiver, 291 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: which UM sackers all the time. UM the good quarterbacks 292 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: always do that. Like Tom Brady, crucial situation, he looks 293 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: for Edelman, Um Mahomes, Kelsey, Deshaun Watson. He's he's always 294 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: looking for hop against and so on and so forth, 295 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: Drew Brees, Michael Thomas. UM. But that it seems like 296 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: on crucial plays he's I don't know if it's all 297 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: there as far as the read or if that was 298 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: the play call. But third down crucial situation he's looking 299 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: at Blake Drawin on deep pass who's being double covered 300 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: by a corner in the safety, or another third down 301 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: crucial situation, he's targeting the pullback all the while. I mean, 302 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: those plays matters and adds up. I don't know if 303 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: you guys can do some Jedile mind tree, just like 304 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: Bill Bettletrek did with the rest with the phantom calls, 305 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: the tripping calls, and on the rest, if you guys 306 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: can like just yea ask the questions as far as 307 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: you know, if a Marius his first read or second 308 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: read or something just to see I don't know, just 309 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: to have him thinking about like using his best wide 310 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: out ride receiver far then any anyone else on the 311 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: team effectively. All right, thanks to icall, we appreciate it. Guys. 312 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: Thoughts on that well. As a fantasy owner of zach Ertz, 313 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: I'll say that I don't think that Wentz goes to 314 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: him as much as I as he's saying that in 315 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: crucial situations. But I get the point, and I do 316 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: think it comes down to what the Cowboys say all 317 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: the time as we do what we do, and what 318 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: they do is they like to take what's there, so 319 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna they think that jamazl Wally is a great 320 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: option if he's the one that's open with a mismatch, 321 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: as opposed to saying third and six, I'm gonna find 322 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: Amari Cooper and I think Romo would do that in 323 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: years past with Whitton. And I don't know if Dak 324 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: has what he can you know, what he deems to 325 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: be a security blanket type receiver right now. But in 326 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: order to do that well, I think they have to 327 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: That has to be a part of the scheme. So 328 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: if you want to get your best player the ball, 329 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: you have to scheme opportunities in those situations to get 330 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: him open, because the other team knows that guy's your 331 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: best player as well. And so if you're just going 332 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: to him and you're not doing something to get him open, 333 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: then you're trusting that he's going to be able to 334 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 1: in many instances, be able to beat a double team 335 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: or sometimes three guys bracketing him. And that's not a 336 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 1: good situation either. We saw that for many years with 337 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: Diz where there was a thought of it or they 338 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: forced them the ball today as well, Yeah, you gotta 339 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: you want to have a balance, and so I think 340 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: that has to go to the scheme, and the coach 341 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: is saying, hey, we want to be able to find 342 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 1: ways and create opportunities for our best players to get 343 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: open and not just tell Dak find your your best player. Yeah, 344 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: I think all of I think it can all be 345 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,479 Speaker 1: a little bit true. I would quibble at first, like 346 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: a lot of the guys, he just named, there's not 347 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 1: a lot of other options like Carson Wentz. By the 348 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: end of that Giant's game, there were no other reliable 349 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: players on the field. Drew Brees, has Kamara and Michael 350 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: Thomas like quick name the next Saints receiver behind him? 351 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: Meet him? Uh Ted Ted gets well? They all have 352 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: good games because there ye Dever Anderson, great guys, Trey 353 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: Quan Smith and Ted Ginn or the answers, but like, 354 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 1: these are not game breaking receivers. And honestly, I would 355 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: argue we always say, like we've we've talked about it before, 356 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: like is Dak that type of Drew Brees quarterback at 357 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: this point in his career who can put it on 358 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: his guy always wherever he wants it, you know, throw 359 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: open the back, shoulder, fade, all that type of stuff. 360 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: He can do it at times, but can he do 361 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 1: it reliably? And so I don't like the idea of 362 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: Dak forcing balls to Amari Cooper no matter what I agree, 363 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: I think Dak would tell you his favorite receiver is 364 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: whoever's open. And then that comes back to yes, scheme 365 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: scheming looks that get Amar open sounds great. Throwing it 366 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: to the fullback who's playing ten percent of the snaps 367 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 1: on the season on fourth down. I don't like it 368 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: at all. And you know people have been going back 369 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: and forth, Well, Jamay's ran the wrong route. That's not 370 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: Dak's fault. Okay, just don't run that play. And I 371 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: like Tony Pollard wasn't there, he wasn't playing in that game, 372 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: and Zeke needed a blow. That's fine. I don't like 373 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 1: the idea of like that being your primary look on 374 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: fourth down. When jamay'zla Walle disappeared from this offense after 375 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: Week one, he played twenty played twenty snaps, average twenty 376 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: snaps a game first three weeks of the season. He 377 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: has rarely gone over ten since then per game. I 378 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: just I think that's ridiculous that that's you know, and 379 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: I get I mean, they're all pros. Make the catch, 380 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: run the right route. I get that, but like, let's 381 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: work with the guys that Dak has the experience with 382 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: Randall Cobb was open on that play. He might not 383 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: have been the first read, but go to the guys 384 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: that have done it for you. And it's stuff like 385 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 1: that that drives me crazy, not so much that he's 386 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: not just trying to feed a Mara Cooper, I mean 387 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: a Mari's gonna finish with like ninety catches this year. 388 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Well. And to add to that, to 389 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,479 Speaker 1: your point me personally, I don't trust this offense to 390 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: handle injuries. So for example, if a Marie Cooper Versee 391 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: has to miss another game, it's like, I don't trust 392 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: Dak to find back that comfort of being able to 393 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: connect with other receivers. We've seen him do it, you know, 394 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: when he divides it up and throws it to Randol 395 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: and that works. But I think that when this offense 396 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: all of a sudden has to miss a key element, 397 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: they just freak out and don't really know how to 398 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: handle that or how to adjust to that. So if 399 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: you were to do that, then that creates, in my opinion, 400 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: a bigger problem for when a bad time comes where 401 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: you need to readjust and find other options. Yeah. I 402 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: think that's a good point because you're right. If you're 403 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: if you're relying on your best player that much, then 404 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: what happens when he's not there? And we saw this 405 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: year that can happen. It happened in the Jets game, 406 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: and it wasn't expected to happen. You just had an 407 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: injury there early and he's out, and so how do 408 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: you adjust when you're relying on that In those kinds 409 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: of situations, I much prefer the Hey, find me the 410 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 1: open guy, and if you want a scheme, guy's open scheme. 411 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 1: I'm open, but always go to the open guy. Yeah, 412 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: I mean that we talked about this, I think before 413 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 1: you got here the other day that the Jets game 414 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: is no longer the one where you're like, they, you know, 415 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: lose to the Jets. I mean, because the Cowboys are 416 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: about to be the same record as the Jets. So yeah, 417 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: it doesn't look as it doesn't look as awful right 418 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: now because you thought they were going to be a 419 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: top three pick and all of a sudden they're find 420 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 1: ways to win football game. Yes, their clutch, Actually they 421 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: win games in the clutch. All right, let's go ahead. 422 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: Let's go ahead, and it just sounds weird. Let's just 423 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: go ahead and jump to the Jets clutch. That sounds weird. Um, 424 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: let's go and jump to the scattering report. Dave tell 425 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: us about this Los Angeles Rams offense. You alluded to it. Um, 426 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: they they they haven't been good for a pretty large 427 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: chunk of the season, but it seems like they are 428 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: rounding into form at the right time. I think a 429 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: big part of that is their offensive line. Um, you know, 430 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: we talk about injuries and nobody feels sorry for you, 431 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: YadA YadA. The rams O line has been a disaster 432 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: this year, and not just in terms of like players 433 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: not playing up to their potential. They haven't been healthy. 434 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: I read this this morning. They've only have one original 435 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: starter playing his original position from week one. That's Andrew Whitworth. 436 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: Who's you know, he's forty, he's good. He'd made the 437 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl last year. He hasn't played up to the 438 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 1: expectations he's set though, because you know, people thought his 439 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: career was kind of done. He goes to LA he 440 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: made the Pro Bowl. He hasn't been playing on that level. 441 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: It seems like he's playing better. But they lost Joseph 442 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: noe Boom early in the season. They lost Rob Havenstein 443 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: their right tackle early in the season. They had to 444 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: trade for Austin Corbett. They had to move their left guard, 445 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: Austin Blythe to center. They've had rookies starting at right 446 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: guard and right tackle for most of the season, so 447 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: it's it's been pretty rough, and it looks like they've 448 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: kind of found a way to make it work. I 449 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: think Havenstein should be available for this game. It sounds like, 450 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: so you know, the Cowboys have caught breaks all season 451 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: that's going in the opposite direction where he'll be in 452 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: the lineup playing against the law most likely. Another big 453 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: part of that is I think they've found out what 454 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: they have in their tight end position. They've got a 455 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: couple of pretty good ones. And I mean you've heard 456 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: you probably have heard of Tyler Higbee. I mean, we 457 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 1: just played this team in January's He's much better than 458 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 1: I give him credit for or one using him. Well, 459 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: now they are, and it's kind of amazing what you 460 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: can do when you have tight ends who can do 461 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. Because they are mauling guys 462 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: with twelve personnel, with Higbee and another guy by the 463 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: name of Johnny Munt who I never I had not 464 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: heard of him yet, ugly gross last name mut Munt. 465 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: I think I'm pronouncing that right. There's really not much 466 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 1: you can do about that, No, there's not. There's not 467 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 1: five somebody can't control. They block well, and Higbee Higbee 468 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 1: is he's like I watched the Seahawks game back, and like, 469 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 1: that's what I came away most impressed with, because, like, 470 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: I know, I know about Robert Woods, I know about 471 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup, I know about Todd Gurley, but he's mauling 472 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: people in the running game and going down field like 473 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: catching the ball ten twelve fifteen, fourth round in twenty 474 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: sixteen by the Rams, fourth round. H but I mean 475 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen though, I think, I mean, unless Dalton Schultz 476 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: was a fourth round pick. Yeah, I was. I wasn't 477 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: even well I was, I was gonna say, I mean, 478 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: unless you're drafting like a T. J. Hockinson, like this 479 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: ready made top ten tight end, it can take two 480 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: three years for a guy to develop a good player, which, well, 481 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna mean Dalton Schultz, you should should be the 482 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: arrow should have moved a little bit off the ground 483 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,719 Speaker 1: by now. Let's not make this his show. No, you're right, 484 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 1: you're a point. But that so and so they are 485 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,479 Speaker 1: rediscovering their run game because their tight ends are helping 486 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: offset their offensive line. Um, girlie's been playing well these 487 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: last two weeks. Sean McVay had a great one liner 488 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: last week where somebody was like, well, why you know 489 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: why's girlies have been so involved the last two weeks? 490 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: And McVeigh was like, because I decided to stop being 491 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: an idiot and get my you know, best player involved. 492 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: Here we go. Um, so they remember when Garrett said 493 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: that one time? I literally I heard that and I 494 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: was like, imagine, imagine having a head coach who would 495 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: like provide a funny, good headline for you just but honestly, 496 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: there's more to it than that. It's not just that 497 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: it's just saying, you know what, we were well, yeah, no, 498 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: you're right, the arrogant level that, yeah, it has to 499 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 1: just drop a little bit and be like, you know what, 500 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: we've been doing some different things, get back to basics here. 501 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: I was thinking about it. Coach saying the same thing 502 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: or similar thing a week or two ago, and I 503 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: was thinking the same thing, like, it's kind of refreshing. 504 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: It's kind of refreshing to hear and just be like, yeah, 505 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: I got a guy doing some stuff. We said, you 506 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: know what, this stuff works, Let's just go and run 507 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 1: the ball and get girly involved. Which actually it's it's 508 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: another great point because you know, the Rams got famous 509 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: last year because it was like ninety five percent of 510 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: the time it's eleven personnel. It's the same three receivers. 511 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: They don't change. They just they're good at it and 512 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: that's what they do well. They're adjusting for their deficiencies 513 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 1: this year because they're all the way up to twenty 514 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: percent twelve personnel. Like they use it a lot because 515 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 1: they have a good, versatile tight end and and a 516 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: great running back. So it's working for them. Their receivers 517 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 1: are scary because their versatile Cup and Woods and Cooks 518 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: can all line up anywhere. I mean good receivers can, 519 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: but they do it a lot. You see Woods, Woods 520 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 1: lines up in the slot, he lines up outside. I 521 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: think Woods is Golf's guy. I know, I know Cup 522 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: and him both have seventy plus catches, like you said, 523 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: but it seems like Woods is to the caller's point, 524 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: Woods is like the guy he's looking for. You know. 525 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: He's one of the most wide receivers in the NFL's 526 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: in the red zone and the red zone. Yeah, Cooper Cup, 527 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: I mean I saw a stat the other day. I 528 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: have to look at it closer, but it was like 529 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 1: the first forty games of your career, the number one 530 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 1: receiver in the NFL history, of touchdown catches is Randy Boss. 531 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: Number two is Cooper cup Wow. Yeah he's stud and 532 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: he doesn't have a ton of catches to go with it. 533 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 1: In yards, he just goes down there and he just s. 534 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: He's a great route runner. The guy that you guys 535 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: loved on the draft show. I mean, I don't want 536 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: to pat myself on the back back, I but loved 537 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 1: no He. I loved break I know the right man. 538 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: I mean I've liked I liked Laquon Treadwell too, and 539 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 1: that didn't work out for But yeah, we all have 540 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: some good ones and some batt ones, right he It 541 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: was just if you win Hester, remember that way back then, 542 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 1: I was like, draft Hester, gotta have him. You were 543 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: kind of right, but I don't I think I wanted 544 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: to play him at offense. I don't care. You would 545 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: have been right. Yeah, he's just I mean he's he's 546 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: a mismatch. I mean, he's a big bodied guy. Who's 547 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 1: I mean like he's got slot receiver shiftiness in a 548 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson type of body. He's he's really talented. I 549 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 1: mean he's he's not small, but I mean, you know, 550 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 1: I'll pull up his measurables. Yeah, he's like six three. 551 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: I want to say, really, yeah, for some reason I 552 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,959 Speaker 1: thought he was a six to two hundred, like he 553 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: is not a I mean, yeah, he's not a se 554 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: D It's okay. No, when you see a slot guy, 555 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: you assume slot guys are gonna be a little smaller, 556 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: and you know he's not a gym rat student of 557 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 1: the game. No super smart slot receiver. I mean, halten, 558 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 1: do you slot receiver? I mean he's not like that's 559 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: He's a different. Receivers that are big like he usually 560 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: doesn't happen. He different, He's a different breed. Um, he's 561 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: a good player. I put words in a mud because 562 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 1: that's not what I'm saying. I don't. I'm trying to 563 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 1: keep us on this on the rail series. I don't. 564 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: I don't think Jared Goff is that good. I don't 565 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: say it again. I don't think that was some conviction. 566 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: I don't think he's that good. I don't. I'm good. 567 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: I was needing a headline title for this show. He 568 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: got one. Jared Goff isn't that good. He's fine, He's fine. 569 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,679 Speaker 1: He clearly, I mean, he got him to a super Bowl. 570 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: He's he's you know, he's played well enough that you 571 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: gotta keep him. I mean, you're not gonna start over 572 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: like Jared Goff can win you games. But I don't. 573 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. He's he's completing twenty seven percent of 574 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: his deep balls. He's I don't think he's a great 575 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: decision maker. He's he's throwing fifteen touchdowns and fourteen picks both. 576 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: He threw two picks in this Seahawks game, one which 577 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: was returned for a touchdown by Quandre Diggs, which you know, 578 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: get like we dissect everything Dak Prescott does and like 579 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: nobody else misses open receivers is off and as Dak well, 580 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: I watched Jared Goff just sail a crossing route like 581 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: literally went two yards passed and one yard high on 582 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: the receiver and right into Quandre digs his hands and 583 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: he's like, oh damn, yes, thanks, touchdown. I never saw 584 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: anyone else in the picture, but it's it almost like 585 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: he was the receiver. I mean it really did. Like 586 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: if it's if the receiver's reaching his hands out over 587 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: the middle, the ball was up here. He's like, oh 588 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: well I was down here, Jared, what were you throwing 589 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: one of those where you think it's got to be 590 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: to somebody else. Yeah, where was the other guy was? 591 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: To me? Which and I'm not trying to kill Jared 592 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: Goff because that stuff happens, But if you listen to 593 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: Cowboys fans, it doesn't like it only happens to Dak Prescott. Yeah. Um, Honestly, 594 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: I was watching the game, like on replay and was 595 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: looking at some of the things that he's able to do. One, 596 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: he can at times, he can get rid of the 597 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: ball pretty quickly and still connect with his receiver or no, 598 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: go Okay, he can get out of the pocket quickly 599 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: and still make a decision, and yes he makes mistakes. 600 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: But facing this Cowboys defensive line and the way they've 601 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: been playing, I started thinking, I'm like, oh my god, 602 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: he can be really really good in this game going 603 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: against the Cowboys, because if he's well, he played against Seattle. 604 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: But even then, the fact that he was able to 605 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: do those kinds of things there in that game, it 606 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: started making me think about, oh boy, what is this 607 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 1: gonna look like when they're facing this Cowboys defensive line. 608 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: I absolutely don't disagree, and I just I just kind 609 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: of crapped on him, But I mean he's a talented 610 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: player like he is, and for ever, for every what 611 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: the hell was that? There's you know, he had a 612 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: play rolling out where he found Woods, the coverage was 613 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: good and he just rifled it in there. I mean 614 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: he was the number one pick for a reason. He 615 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: certainly can make plays, I question, and his decision making 616 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: and his accuracy is not outstanding, not by NFL standards, 617 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: But can the pass rush get to him? Can the 618 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys cornerbacks cover these guys? I mean we just talked 619 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: about you know, Robert Woods and Cooper Cup can both 620 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: play in the slot. They're both big, and I mean 621 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: that sounds like a problem for Jordan Lewis, honestly. And 622 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: that's the other thing is Sean mcfay smart. He schemes 623 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: easy throws for this guy all the time, like lots 624 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: of crossing routes, lots of you see, like so many 625 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: like layer concepts where there's a short option, an intermediate option. 626 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: I know that's obvious, but they do it all the 627 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: time where it's kind of like, okay, roll out and 628 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: whichever one looks the most appealing, hit him, and there's 629 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: it's five yards, twelve yards and eighteen yards. It happens 630 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 1: all the time, and they're not hard throws by NFL standards. 631 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: So having said that, I don't think he's amazing. He's 632 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: certainly good enough to hurt these guys because Jeff Driscoll did, 633 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: and at Mitch Drubisky, the key took off is the 634 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: fact that he has the coach that he has. I 635 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: think that always have to factor that into a quarterback 636 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: because I think the better the coach, the more that 637 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: you can hide some of those deficiencies and give them 638 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: opportunities to succeed based upon what they do well. Because 639 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: he definitely does have some talent, definitely has armed talent 640 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: and can do a lot of things. Maybe you just 641 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: hide some of those things he doesn't do so well. 642 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: Let's go. But if the last two weeks or any indicator, 643 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: I mean they're gonna try to set it up with 644 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: Gurly though and that, and then I mean it looks 645 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: like he's he should be fresh. He's only got one 646 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy carries on the year. And how much 647 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: is that scare you? Knowing?

You know you can here like 721 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: you know, I'm listening and watching you guys, uh sound 722 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 1: from the sidelines and you can hear Mary Nelly basically saying, 723 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, time's gonna have to say the 724 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 1: same thing. You know, I mean, these guys, your best guys, 725 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: the Marcus Lawrence, you know, for se just watching him 726 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago against uh Alan and you know, 727 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 1: same thing with Trabinsky. You know, these guys doing us 728 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: read option and I'm just like, how many times he goes, 729 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,320 Speaker 1: you know, bite down and tackles the guy without the 730 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 1: ball and watch the quarterback roll outside and there's no 731 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: contain you know. And um, that's just one thing. Another thing. 732 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: You know, this team preaches about having the right kind 733 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,840 Speaker 1: of guys. Well, I just want to know, dude, we 734 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: got the right kind of right kind of guys? Because yeah, okay, um, 735 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 1: can I tell you this that as saying all this, 736 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: like the first part of it, in my mind, I 737 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 1: was questioning, do the Cowboys have the right kind of guys? 738 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,359 Speaker 1: I mean, it's seriously what I was thinking. So here's 739 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: the question, though, when you say that, what do you 740 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: mean by the right kind of guys? Because I think 741 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: there's a lot of different interpretations of what that means. 742 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 1: Is that really good players? Is that guys that love football? 743 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 1: Is that guy? Like, there's a lot of different ways 744 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 1: you can dice that they don't have enough guys that 745 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: are good enough to win. Okay, So right kind of 746 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 1: guy for you is about ability? Yep, And that's the 747 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 1: that's the right kind of guy for every coach in 748 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,879 Speaker 1: the NFL, because I don't care what they say about 749 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,840 Speaker 1: the right kind of guy. If he's KP and Kant play, 750 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,360 Speaker 1: they're not going to use them. I mean, that's just 751 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: that's not the right kind of guy. Right kind of guy? 752 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 1: Line one is playing well in the NFL. Line two 753 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: through nine, they'll figure it out depending on how in 754 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: line one goes. I completely agree with you. But but 755 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: I again and again and again think that a lot 756 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,279 Speaker 1: of the guys on this team are talented, which makes 757 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 1: me wonder, are are there guys on this team that 758 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: aren't is just consumed by being great at football as others? 759 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,839 Speaker 1: Is it a motivation issue? And I think that's a 760 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 1: fair thing to wonder right now with the way that 761 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 1: they've played and the way that they've lost some of 762 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: these games. I mean, and the message that they're getting, yeah, 763 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,640 Speaker 1: is the same. I guess, you know, like that's what 764 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,839 Speaker 1: it is like, because I don't think I don't think 765 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 1: the coaching staff is all of a sudden it's not 766 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: a good staff, but I just think it's all kind 767 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,399 Speaker 1: of come to a head where the message and how 768 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,720 Speaker 1: he delivers it is this constant and at this point 769 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,719 Speaker 1: it's just I think these guys are probably tired of it. Yeah, 770 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: I do wonder if they're winning on Wednesay, Thursday, and Friday. 771 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 1: We talk about that. We've talked about that a lot 772 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 1: on this show over the years of you know, you 773 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 1: can say the talent is one thing, and going out 774 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: there and competing. They go out there, they compete hard. 775 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 1: But if you're not, if you don't have that same 776 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 1: level of enthusiasm and commitment on Wednesay, Thursday, Friday to prepare, 777 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,840 Speaker 1: then it'll show up at points in games when you 778 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 1: just don't know what's going to happen, don't have a 779 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,959 Speaker 1: good enough read on your opponent because you maybe didn't 780 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,320 Speaker 1: study enough, or maybe your body's just not prepared because 781 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: you didn't take good enough care of your body to 782 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 1: be able to have that push in the fourth quarter 783 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 1: when you're tired. Right, there's lots of things that are 784 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 1: about what you do on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday that 785 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 1: ultimately lead to success on Sundays, and all those things, 786 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 1: in my opinion, are fair right now because of the 787 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,880 Speaker 1: way they're playing. Yeah, I mean, it's hard for me 788 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: to think you are winning during the week when again, 789 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 1: I mean the Chicago offense sucks like it's so bad, 790 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,919 Speaker 1: and they looked and Truebisky wasn't you know, he wasn't 791 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,400 Speaker 1: throwing dimes. He's like I think I read he was 792 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 1: averaging like three and a half air yards per completion, 793 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,640 Speaker 1: which means he wasn't throwing the ball downfield. And it 794 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:45,280 Speaker 1: didn't matter because tight end screens and checkdowns to quarterrel 795 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: Patterson are going through for thirty five yards. You have 796 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,319 Speaker 1: four straight scoring drives when you've been that bad all year, 797 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 1: and that's an indictment of any defense that allows it. 798 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 1: And it may just like, how well are y'all actually 799 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,839 Speaker 1: preparing for this stuff when this is happening totally, And 800 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,759 Speaker 1: you know, I do think that, you know, I've said 801 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 1: it before about the talent, I don't think these players 802 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: are as good as they as they as we thought 803 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 1: they were. I definitely don't think they're as good as 804 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 1: as the coaching staff thinks they are because I think 805 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,399 Speaker 1: that they continue to do what we do with these 806 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,960 Speaker 1: guys and it doesn't work. And again, I put a 807 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,399 Speaker 1: lot of it on the players, but it is very 808 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 1: clear that the coaching staff is getting out coached in 809 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 1: in these other games to these other staffs, because as 810 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 1: soon as you say we're going to do what we do, 811 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,280 Speaker 1: you can just hear the coaches on the other side 812 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 1: just rubbing their hands together, like, all right, we know 813 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,320 Speaker 1: what they're gonna do. What if we did this, Because 814 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: we know what they're gonna do, They're gonna do it now. 815 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,800 Speaker 1: Like I love I love it. I agree with everything 816 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: you said. You said it in a funny way. They're 817 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 1: getting out coached. They're getting out coached. And it's not 818 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,439 Speaker 1: just Jason, it's the other it's the scheme, it's all 819 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,920 Speaker 1: of that stuff. And you know when when you can't 820 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 1: stop Jeff Jeff Driscoll from running and Mitchell Trubisky, you 821 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,879 Speaker 1: know those guys like that, I mean, you know, it's 822 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 1: just that they just don't have an answer for It's 823 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 1: really when it's the same common theme. Right when you 824 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 1: got these quarterbacks that are just rushing for all these 825 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 1: yards that, by the way, aren't guys that necessarily are 826 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 1: doing it to anybody else, and you're not going into 827 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 1: the game saying, Okay, we know this is a deficiency 828 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,280 Speaker 1: from last week. We have to make that a priority 829 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 1: to stop it this week, and then the same thing happens, 830 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 1: right that's the part that that works. Here's here's the thing. 831 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 1: Like I've seen a lot of college football games, a lot, 832 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:29,919 Speaker 1: and I've seen I've been on both sides over where 833 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 1: this team's gonna be. You know, you haven't you're playing 834 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 1: a team that they're not gonna beat you tonight, you know. 835 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,400 Speaker 1: But the first play of the game says a triple 836 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 1: reverse passed to the receiver back to the quarterback and 837 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 1: he throws it over here to the running back and 838 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,760 Speaker 1: they get fifty yards. And you're like, all right, well 839 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,319 Speaker 1: that was a good play, but you're not gonna win. 840 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 1: And you know you're not gonna win because you had 841 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,399 Speaker 1: to do that on the first play to tell your 842 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 1: guys we're gonna do this. But you really know you 843 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,880 Speaker 1: can't win because you had to do that kind of stuff. 844 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 1: At least they're trying, though, See the Cowboys, I don't 845 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,640 Speaker 1: think they the Cowboys like we're taking the ball to 846 00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: start the game, we're gonna go, we're gonna score and 847 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,840 Speaker 1: all that. Like they think they're gonna win, but I 848 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 1: don't believe that they have the talent to do it. 849 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 1: So when do they figure out? When does the talent 850 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 1: isn't playing up to part to be able to do it. 851 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 1: Okay either way, I mean, it's the results the same. 852 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 1: So when are they gonna when are they gonna flip 853 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 1: the switch and go we can't beat the Rams like this. 854 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,640 Speaker 1: We need to do different things. And I'm not saying 855 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 1: you have to run trick plays, but trick plays or 856 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 1: show you that you're gonna try to go into the 857 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,880 Speaker 1: bag a little bit to do some different things. And 858 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 1: this team doesn't. They're just like, we're gonna keep doing 859 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 1: this because we have done it in the past, not 860 00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,840 Speaker 1: against a winning team, but they've done you know, you 861 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Where it's like, yes, that's where 862 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 1: the arrogance comes into play. Okay, we're not good enough 863 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:43,440 Speaker 1: to beat them. And like Jason's first year when when 864 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,399 Speaker 1: they were two one and seven and then he took over, 865 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,120 Speaker 1: they played games against the Saints and the Eagles that 866 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,360 Speaker 1: were they were really good teams that year. They didn't 867 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,760 Speaker 1: win the games, but they hung in there. They almost 868 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,080 Speaker 1: won the Saints. They probably should have won that Thanksgiving 869 00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 1: Day game, but they played a different way where they 870 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,000 Speaker 1: had to slow everything down because they knew their defense 871 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 1: was terrible. Slow down. We get into drives right, he 872 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 1: just ran ran norm rambling. All I'm saying this is 873 00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:11,200 Speaker 1: that there's there's You have to at some point realize, okay, 874 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:18,080 Speaker 1: almost cussed. This stuff isn't working. And because it's not stuff, 875 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,960 Speaker 1: it's the other one and it's not working. So do 876 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,880 Speaker 1: something different, take your ego, put it over here, and 877 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: try to win the game. All right, guys, appreciate you 878 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,840 Speaker 1: joining us. We'll be back tomorrow. We're gonna talk defense tomorrow, 879 00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: that Rams defense.
