First 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.160 we'll start though with some injury updates. Jason Garrett had 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.960 his press conference this morning, talked about a few guys 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:09.880 that would return and one that would not. Tell me 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.320 what's up with the injuries for this team. I think 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:17.840 everybody's healthy except for well healthy no able to participate 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:21.080 in practice and potentially play. Yes, specifically the three that 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.919 were not at practice last or did not play last 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:27.200 week in heath and would they're all out there right, yeah, 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.760 back right. Layton vander esh Is is the one. And 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.160 at this point, you know, it's fair to wonder if 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:33.919 he's going to play again this year. I would lean 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.600 toward no, honestly, at least not in the regular season. 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.360 There's only three games left. If it's bad enough that 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.919 when did he When did he When did they set 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:47.000 him down Detroit? Yeah? Or was it before? Was it 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.720 the Giants game? It was a road game. He he 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:55.880 hurt himself against the Eagles, didn't come back against the Giants, right, 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.400 and then I don't remember if he played against the 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.040 Lions and play. It definitely was a road game because 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:03.960 walking off the plane, the flat tendant said, here, can 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:07.359 you give this neck pillow to Layton Vanderesh They ask you, yeah, 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.200 and I'm like, how do you always become the guy 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:10.720 that's supposed to be doing that kind of what do 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.520 you mean you got to help Tony up to podiums? Okay, 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:15.840 that's like ten years ago, I know, but still like 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.320 I got you Well, I don't know because it took 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.720 me a while to get my coat on whatever. And 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.800 so the flattendant was like, here's here's his neck pillow. 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:25.840 And I'm like, he doesn't want this, would you chase 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.560 him down? No? I didn't bring it to him, okay 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.440 until like I brought it to work, but I'm not 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.720 gonna take it in there until Wednesday of that week 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.000 and I said, you know, I got your neck pillow 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:37.520 and he was it was like a kid at towards 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.480 our roster was like, you've got my neck pillow. And 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.000 I was like, oh yeah, I'll bring it to you. 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.040 He's like, oh, thanks, dude's got a neck. He has 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:48.520 not played. He played against Detroit. He has the Detroit flight. 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.360 That's what it was. Um one flight wasn't four am 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.240 when we got bang. It's fair to wonder if he's 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.840 gonna play again this year, And I mean, it's a 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.280 neck injury. Honestly, I'm not sure that he should think. 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.560 You know, people saying why don't you just move him 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.880 to I R because he's a really good player. And 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.000 if there's even a slight chance that they think he 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.400 can help them, especially if they make it to the playoffs, 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.800 I'm sure that's their thought process. But again for me, 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.040 I mean, if it's a neck injury and he did 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.240 have issues with it in college, if the fact, I 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:17.960 mean we've brought it up before the fact that Jason 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.520 Garrett said, we don't think it's career threatening, Like, if 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.440 it's even a possibility, it's okay to just call it 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.359 a year. I don't think anybody's gonna blame you for 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.440 that based on the injury in college. You got either 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.560 of you guys know if this injury is is the 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.279 same thing that's recurring or is this a different because 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.400 you know, sometimes you can hear neck, you can hear back, 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.280 you can hear arm, and you'll talk to medical trainers 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.760 and they'll tell you, hey, that's not really the same thing. 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.159 It's two different injuries. Even though it's the same area, 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.560 general area, it's two different issues. You guys know, if 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.080 this is actually a recurrence of what was happening in college, 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.360 I really don't. I honestly don't. And that's it's kind 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.640 of the nature of the beast with like an NFL beat, 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:59.919 Like there's so much stuff happening that it kind of 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:01.760 works in a cycle like that where you're like, Okay, 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:05.240 he's out for a while, don't need to worry about him. 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.680 There's enough stuff other going enough other stuff going on, 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.360 he's not going to play. And then right around now 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.839 you know he's gonna miss his fourth game in a row. 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:16.600 Probably is when people are like, Okay, how big of 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.359 how big of a problem is this? And so I think, 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.760 you know, I think Todd Archer reported earlier that they 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.520 were thinking about giving him more tests, but they decided 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.040 not to. So I think people are going to start 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.719 looking for more information about this because again before it's like, well, 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.160 he needs some time to get right and there's enough 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.240 to worry about without snooping around on Layton vandersh. But this, 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:38.880 if this is something that's going to keep him out 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:43.000 for potentially the final six weeks of the season, then yeah, 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.440 it's it's something worth looking. But this is the kind 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.279 of injury that it doesn't seem to be one of 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.680 those where you can create a timetable for it, where 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.520 it's kind of I would assume, do you feel good 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.640 now or you don't? You know, you don't. You can't 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.760 really when because it's like a stink what is it 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.280 called stinger? I mean, this is a neck injury. I'm 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:03.279 not sure the details of the neck injury. It's just 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:07.120 I thought I heard something about a sting. He suffered 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:11.200 a stinger against the Eagles, and that's what limit initiated. Yeah, 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.320 and I you would assume, you know, around the time 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.040 this happened. It was like, well, this is an after 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:19.599 effect of what happened to him in that game. And yeah, 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.120 I do not have a ton more information, but it's 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.320 not like you broke your hand then you know when 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:27.680 how long that's going to take to recover. This is 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.479 one of those that it's just going to be really 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.280 hard to figure out exactly when he comes back. Yeah, 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.320 scary part is when you're talking about next and backs, 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.359 like that's just that's never a good thing. And certainly, 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.279 again I agree with you the fact that Jason actually said, 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.240 there's you know, we don't think this is going to 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:44.719 be career threatening. Fact you had to have that. The 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.440 day he said that, I was like, that's a weird 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.280 thing to say. It jumped out to me for a 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.279 second year player, right, And so you would hope that 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.160 everything's going to be fine. They just need to let 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.800 this thing settle down and eventually it'll get to a 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:58.360 point where it's okay for him to be able to 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:00.760 resume playing, but we'll see how that goes here in 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:04.520 the next coming weeks. Let's go and jump into these storylines. 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.560 Nick walk us through some of the storylines this week. 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.640 Cowboys versus Rams. All right, the Rams, you know, we 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.360 all kind of know where they are. They're they're starting 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.200 to play like the team that you know went to 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.480 the Super Bowl last year. I mean, they're not as good, 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:20.840 I don't think, but eight and five they kind of 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:22.720 turned things not as good as they were last year. 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:25.800 Well the record isn't I mean, I mean, I don't 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:27.760 I don't know if they're as good. Sometimes you know, 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.240 first play, schedule, all that stuff goes into play. But 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.800 they did get you know, beat forty five to seven 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.880 at home by the Ravens, so that that's pretty ugly. 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:37.720 But the last two games they've kind of turned around, 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:42.160 big win over Seattle. One of their storyline storyline, sorry, 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.840 is the fact that they are also a team that 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:48.480 does not start really well. The last couple of games, 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.200 though they have scored touchdowns early in the game. That's 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:54.720 just the second time out of ten games or the 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.000 last ten games that they've scored on the opening drive. 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.400 They're getting outscored by their opponents in the first quarter 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:01.480 for eight forty two, but they can turn it on 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:05.240 in the second. So that's that's something. There um only 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.920 ten players in the NFL this season have caught seventy 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:12.320 passes and nine hundred receiving yards, and two of them 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.320 play for the Rams, so Cooper Cup and Robert Woods 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:17.760 also Marie Cooper doing that. So yeah, that's a lot 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.280 of guys are problem. Two guys that catch and they 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.320 also you know, get yards. Now, Cup has seven touchdowns. 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.560 He's a red zone threat for sure. No day will 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.560 talk about him. He's gonna get into also Todd Gurley 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.280 and the fact that you know he's got seven hundred 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.360 and seventy rushing yards. I think the biggest thing though, 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:34.839 is that he only has one hundred and sixty eight 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:38.640 receiving yards. He's not doing the double dual threat that 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:42.079 we've seen from him before. And then the last storyline 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.520 is if you talk about guys, you've talked about Aaron Donald. 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:46.960 He's a beast a song getting a quadruple teamed in 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.480 a game the other day. He still has eleven sacks. 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.240 He's only the second defensive tackle in the history of 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.360 the league with four seasons of eleven sacks or more. 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:57.360 And he's done it now three years in a row. 0:08:57.520 --> 0:08:59.480 You know, I wish, I wish fans. I wish fans 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.600 could see this guy. I don't know if some of 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.520 them may have see this guy without pads on, Like 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.480 he is the most impressive looking, Like he's the guy 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.520 you get off the best the first because he's so 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.200 just big. He's a massive dude. And he's not a 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.880 fat dude at all, but he's just a rat, like 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.520 just a un Yeah. But he is a big guy. 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.040 And and you look at defensive tackles and you usually 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:24.480 think they're gonna be fat, They're gonna be like just 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.720 rolls head. Ain't that dude? Man? He is a He 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:32.960 is an impressive dude. I mean, you're not You're not wrong, 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.360 You're absolutely not wrong. He's got like an eight pack, 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:40.200 he's jacked, but he's like five ten yeah, And that's why, 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.280 I mean, he should have been a top five pick, 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.520 and his size hindered him in the eyes of value. 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:49.840 N I want to say tenh. I mean he he 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:54.760 absolutely he earned probably a million dollars with one play 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.080 at the Senior Bowl. You know, people think Senior Bowl. 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:00.600 You know, it's kind of sorry. Even other than that, 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.000 I think Odell was tenth. There you go, so he 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:08.920 went third, Yeah, zag Martin went sixteen. Ah yeah, well yeah, shot, 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.720 the internet says he They're sitting there now together, both 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:15.719 of them. I'm there's no question where I'm going. I 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:19.360 gotta take Donald. Yeah, Zach's really good, don't get me wrong, 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.679 it was actually really great. Okay, Donald's better. I mean 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:24.280 it's better. Yeah. I mean the thing about it is 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.960 you you give me, you give me a great offensive guard, 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:29.600 and he's got to be less impactful in a game 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.120 than a great defensive tackle. Right, So if you've got 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.599 to split hairs between the two, I'm gonna take the 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.440 great defensive tackle Andnald depends. If that great guard is 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.079 facing that defensive tackle, then maybe he's not as impactful. 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:42.360 Maybe we'll find out Sunday though, because they're gonna face 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.600 each other a few times. But how often did that 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:46.600 happen last year? Like it? See, it didn't seem like 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:50.800 they were messed up. A hole was Connor the he's 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:54.720 the whisperer for Donald, He got the whisper Yeah, there 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:56.360 we go. I can say that because he's not gonna 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.199 play about to say this, Wow, Aaron Donald's gonna But 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.240 the difference is we'll talk about that tomorrow. Is I mean, 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.680 they don't have Sue who he was the one that 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.120 really heard him. I'm sure they have someone else that's 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.400 still have Mike Brocker's Who's I mean, I don't He's 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:13.839 not Aaron Donald problem. He's not Sue. He might him 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:17.280 and Sue might be comparable at this point. They dude, 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.520 they that when you start thinking about that defense, I'm 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:21.880 surprised they haven't been better than they are with the 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:23.600 guys that they've had it, even the guys that they've 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.440 had it throughout the year this year. We'll talk about 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.760 the defense to worrow. That's to worry about tomorrow. We 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:30.640 got way to worry about on the offense today.

It is the second segment of 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:42.959 The Break. We are live from the s WBC Mortgage studios. 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.240 At the start, we're going to get into the rams 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.600 offense and scattering port by Dave Hellman. Before we do that, though, 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:51.040 we do have a phone call from James in California. James, 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:57.760 what up? Hey, guys, are good? Good? It's uh cheers 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.480 always Wednesday, but hoping it was Friday. But it's okay. 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:05.200 This We're getting there. I UM, first and foremost one 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.920 would like to thank you guys for giving us an opportunity, 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:12.600 us fans a platform to vorce our opinion and concerns 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:16.240 regarding the team and so on and so forth. UM 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:20.240 just wanted to to see or to have your take 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:29.120 on UM the offense, especially dak Um. I think I would. 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:33.560 I'll take him over Carson Wentz. But the one thing 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:36.120 that Carson Winks does that I don't see. I don't 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:42.560 think Dack does is UM Carson Wentz always on crucial situation, 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:46.400 he always goes and take pick out his best receiver, 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:51.440 which UM sackers all the time. UM the good quarterbacks 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:56.000 always do that. Like Tom Brady, crucial situation, he looks 0:14:56.000 --> 0:15:00.960 for Edelman, Um Mahomes, Kelsey, Deshaun Watson. He's he's always 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.400 looking for hop against and so on and so forth, 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:07.360 Drew Brees, Michael Thomas. UM. But that it seems like 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.720 on crucial plays he's I don't know if it's all 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.160 there as far as the read or if that was 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.360 the play call. But third down crucial situation he's looking 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:21.000 at Blake Drawin on deep pass who's being double covered 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.920 by a corner in the safety, or another third down 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:29.080 crucial situation, he's targeting the pullback all the while. I mean, 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:34.080 those plays matters and adds up. I don't know if 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:36.360 you guys can do some Jedile mind tree, just like 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.920 Bill Bettletrek did with the rest with the phantom calls, 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.920 the tripping calls, and on the rest, if you guys 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:48.720 can like just yea ask the questions as far as 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:52.160 you know, if a Marius his first read or second 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:55.040 read or something just to see I don't know, just 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:58.320 to have him thinking about like using his best wide 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:02.880 out ride receiver far then any anyone else on the 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:07.400 team effectively. All right, thanks to icall, we appreciate it. Guys. 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:10.880 Thoughts on that well. As a fantasy owner of zach Ertz, 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:13.160 I'll say that I don't think that Wentz goes to 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:16.080 him as much as I as he's saying that in 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:19.640 crucial situations. But I get the point, and I do 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.400 think it comes down to what the Cowboys say all 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:24.880 the time as we do what we do, and what 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.920 they do is they like to take what's there, so 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.600 they're gonna they think that jamazl Wally is a great 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.120 option if he's the one that's open with a mismatch, 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.960 as opposed to saying third and six, I'm gonna find 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.960 Amari Cooper and I think Romo would do that in 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.920 years past with Whitton. And I don't know if Dak 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:46.040 has what he can you know, what he deems to 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.520 be a security blanket type receiver right now. But in 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:50.720 order to do that well, I think they have to 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:53.480 That has to be a part of the scheme. So 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.400 if you want to get your best player the ball, 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.880 you have to scheme opportunities in those situations to get 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.520 him open, because the other team knows that guy's your 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.560 best player as well. And so if you're just going 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:07.080 to him and you're not doing something to get him open, 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.040 then you're trusting that he's going to be able to 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.120 in many instances, be able to beat a double team 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.080 or sometimes three guys bracketing him. And that's not a 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.199 good situation either. We saw that for many years with 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.080 Diz where there was a thought of it or they 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.320 forced them the ball today as well, Yeah, you gotta 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:21.960 you want to have a balance, and so I think 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:23.840 that has to go to the scheme, and the coach 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:26.040 is saying, hey, we want to be able to find 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:29.360 ways and create opportunities for our best players to get 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.320 open and not just tell Dak find your your best player. Yeah, 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:34.679 I think all of I think it can all be 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:37.479 a little bit true. I would quibble at first, like 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:39.800 a lot of the guys, he just named, there's not 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.159 a lot of other options like Carson Wentz. By the 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:44.680 end of that Giant's game, there were no other reliable 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:48.399 players on the field. Drew Brees, has Kamara and Michael 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.480 Thomas like quick name the next Saints receiver behind him? 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:57.399 Meet him? Uh Ted Ted gets well? They all have 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:01.920 good games because there ye Dever Anderson, great guys, Trey 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.720 Quan Smith and Ted Ginn or the answers, but like, 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.880 these are not game breaking receivers. And honestly, I would 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:11.240 argue we always say, like we've we've talked about it before, 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.000 like is Dak that type of Drew Brees quarterback at 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:15.760 this point in his career who can put it on 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:19.280 his guy always wherever he wants it, you know, throw 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:22.480 open the back, shoulder, fade, all that type of stuff. 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:23.879 He can do it at times, but can he do 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:26.679 it reliably? And so I don't like the idea of 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:30.040 Dak forcing balls to Amari Cooper no matter what I agree, 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:32.680 I think Dak would tell you his favorite receiver is 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:36.399 whoever's open. And then that comes back to yes, scheme 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:40.240 scheming looks that get Amar open sounds great. Throwing it 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:42.760 to the fullback who's playing ten percent of the snaps 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:44.879 on the season on fourth down. I don't like it 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:47.120 at all. And you know people have been going back 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:49.520 and forth, Well, Jamay's ran the wrong route. That's not 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:53.320 Dak's fault. Okay, just don't run that play. And I 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.800 like Tony Pollard wasn't there, he wasn't playing in that game, 0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:59.720 and Zeke needed a blow. That's fine. I don't like 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:02.439 the idea of like that being your primary look on 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:06.760 fourth down. When jamay'zla Walle disappeared from this offense after 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:11.760 Week one, he played twenty played twenty snaps, average twenty 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:14.680 snaps a game first three weeks of the season. He 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:18.399 has rarely gone over ten since then per game. I 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:21.240 just I think that's ridiculous that that's you know, and 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:23.080 I get I mean, they're all pros. Make the catch, 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:25.640 run the right route. I get that, but like, let's 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:28.200 work with the guys that Dak has the experience with 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:30.560 Randall Cobb was open on that play. He might not 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.160 have been the first read, but go to the guys 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:35.639 that have done it for you. And it's stuff like 0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.640 that that drives me crazy, not so much that he's 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:40.560 not just trying to feed a Mara Cooper, I mean 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:42.680 a Mari's gonna finish with like ninety catches this year. 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:45.840 That's pretty good. Well. And to add to that, to 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:49.479 your point me personally, I don't trust this offense to 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:53.560 handle injuries. So for example, if a Marie Cooper Versee 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:56.399 has to miss another game, it's like, I don't trust 0:19:56.520 --> 0:20:00.320 Dak to find back that comfort of being able to 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:03.399 connect with other receivers. We've seen him do it, you know, 0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:06.240 when he divides it up and throws it to Randol 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:09.680 and that works. But I think that when this offense 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:12.800 all of a sudden has to miss a key element, 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:15.720 they just freak out and don't really know how to 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:18.520 handle that or how to adjust to that. So if 0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:22.240 you were to do that, then that creates, in my opinion, 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:26.560 a bigger problem for when a bad time comes where 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:29.240 you need to readjust and find other options. Yeah. I 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:31.080 think that's a good point because you're right. If you're 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:34.119 if you're relying on your best player that much, then 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:36.000 what happens when he's not there? And we saw this 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:38.160 year that can happen. It happened in the Jets game, 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:40.000 and it wasn't expected to happen. You just had an 0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:42.840 injury there early and he's out, and so how do 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:45.560 you adjust when you're relying on that In those kinds 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:48.480 of situations, I much prefer the Hey, find me the 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:50.640 open guy, and if you want a scheme, guy's open scheme. 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:53.400 I'm open, but always go to the open guy. Yeah, 0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:55.680 I mean that we talked about this, I think before 0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:57.880 you got here the other day that the Jets game 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:00.639 is no longer the one where you're like, they, you know, 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.800 lose to the Jets. I mean, because the Cowboys are 0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:07.280 about to be the same record as the Jets. So yeah, 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:09.840 it doesn't look as it doesn't look as awful right 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:11.280 now because you thought they were going to be a 0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:13.359 top three pick and all of a sudden they're find 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:16.400 ways to win football game. Yes, their clutch, Actually they 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:18.800 win games in the clutch. All right, let's go ahead. 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:21.200 Let's go ahead, and it just sounds weird. Let's just 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:25.520 go ahead and jump to the Jets clutch. That sounds weird. Um, 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:28.240 let's go and jump to the scattering report. Dave tell 0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:31.840 us about this Los Angeles Rams offense. You alluded to it. Um, 0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:35.960 they they they haven't been good for a pretty large 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:37.919 chunk of the season, but it seems like they are 0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:40.399 rounding into form at the right time. I think a 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:44.040 big part of that is their offensive line. Um, you know, 0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:47.359 we talk about injuries and nobody feels sorry for you, 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:50.480 YadA YadA. The rams O line has been a disaster 0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:52.600 this year, and not just in terms of like players 0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:55.119 not playing up to their potential. They haven't been healthy. 0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:58.480 I read this this morning. They've only have one original 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:04.480 starter playing his original position from week one. That's Andrew Whitworth. 0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:07.240 Who's you know, he's forty, he's good. He'd made the 0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:09.399 Pro Bowl last year. He hasn't played up to the 0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:12.679 expectations he's set though, because you know, people thought his 0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:14.840 career was kind of done. He goes to LA he 0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:17.600 made the Pro Bowl. He hasn't been playing on that level. 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:21.040 It seems like he's playing better. But they lost Joseph 0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:23.760 noe Boom early in the season. They lost Rob Havenstein 0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:25.720 their right tackle early in the season. They had to 0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:28.960 trade for Austin Corbett. They had to move their left guard, 0:22:29.000 --> 0:22:32.440 Austin Blythe to center. They've had rookies starting at right 0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:35.040 guard and right tackle for most of the season, so 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:38.840 it's it's been pretty rough, and it looks like they've 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:40.760 kind of found a way to make it work. I 0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:44.879 think Havenstein should be available for this game. It sounds like, 0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:47.639 so you know, the Cowboys have caught breaks all season 0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:50.320 that's going in the opposite direction where he'll be in 0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:55.760 the lineup playing against the law most likely. Another big 0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:57.439 part of that is I think they've found out what 0:22:57.520 --> 0:23:00.280 they have in their tight end position. They've got a 0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:03.399 couple of pretty good ones. And I mean you've heard 0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:05.960 you probably have heard of Tyler Higbee. I mean, we 0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:10.400 just played this team in January's He's much better than 0:23:10.480 --> 0:23:12.880 I give him credit for or one using him. Well, 0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:16.919 now they are, and it's kind of amazing what you 0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:18.600 can do when you have tight ends who can do 0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:21.200 a little bit of everything. Because they are mauling guys 0:23:21.240 --> 0:23:24.159 with twelve personnel, with Higbee and another guy by the 0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:26.760 name of Johnny Munt who I never I had not 0:23:26.840 --> 0:23:31.240 heard of him yet, ugly gross last name mut Munt. 0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:34.240 I think I'm pronouncing that right. There's really not much 0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:35.879 you can do about that, No, there's not. There's not 0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:40.360 five somebody can't control. They block well, and Higbee Higbee 0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:44.199 is he's like I watched the Seahawks game back, and like, 0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:46.199 that's what I came away most impressed with, because, like, 0:23:46.240 --> 0:23:48.280 I know, I know about Robert Woods, I know about 0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:51.720 Cooper Cup, I know about Todd Gurley, but he's mauling 0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:54.800 people in the running game and going down field like 0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:59.480 catching the ball ten twelve fifteen, fourth round in twenty 0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:03.480 sixteen by the Rams, fourth round. H but I mean 0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:06.720 twenty sixteen though, I think, I mean, unless Dalton Schultz 0:24:06.720 --> 0:24:11.520 was a fourth round pick. Yeah, I was. I wasn't 0:24:11.520 --> 0:24:13.320 even well I was, I was gonna say, I mean, 0:24:13.400 --> 0:24:15.960 unless you're drafting like a T. J. Hockinson, like this 0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:19.160 ready made top ten tight end, it can take two 0:24:19.240 --> 0:24:21.800 three years for a guy to develop a good player, which, well, 0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:25.520 I'm gonna mean Dalton Schultz, you should should be the 0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:27.800 arrow should have moved a little bit off the ground 0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:30.719 by now. Let's not make this his show. No, you're right, 0:24:30.800 --> 0:24:34.159 you're a point. But that so and so they are 0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:37.479 rediscovering their run game because their tight ends are helping 0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:41.119 offset their offensive line. Um, girlie's been playing well these 0:24:41.160 --> 0:24:43.760 last two weeks. Sean McVay had a great one liner 0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:46.800 last week where somebody was like, well, why you know 0:24:46.880 --> 0:24:49.200 why's girlies have been so involved the last two weeks? 0:24:49.200 --> 0:24:51.080 And McVeigh was like, because I decided to stop being 0:24:51.119 --> 0:24:54.400 an idiot and get my you know, best player involved. 0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:58.000 Here we go. Um, so they remember when Garrett said 0:24:58.000 --> 0:25:00.320 that one time? I literally I heard that and I 0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:02.960 was like, imagine, imagine having a head coach who would 0:25:02.960 --> 0:25:07.120 like provide a funny, good headline for you just but honestly, 0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:09.320 there's more to it than that. It's not just that 0:25:09.480 --> 0:25:12.560 it's just saying, you know what, we were well, yeah, no, 0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:14.720 you're right, the arrogant level that, yeah, it has to 0:25:14.720 --> 0:25:16.400 just drop a little bit and be like, you know what, 0:25:17.200 --> 0:25:20.040 we've been doing some different things, get back to basics here. 0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:22.880 I was thinking about it. Coach saying the same thing 0:25:23.040 --> 0:25:25.320 or similar thing a week or two ago, and I 0:25:25.359 --> 0:25:27.480 was thinking the same thing, like, it's kind of refreshing. 0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:29.760 It's kind of refreshing to hear and just be like, yeah, 0:25:29.800 --> 0:25:32.359 I got a guy doing some stuff. We said, you 0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:35.640 know what, this stuff works, Let's just go and run 0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:38.439 the ball and get girly involved. Which actually it's it's 0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:40.840 another great point because you know, the Rams got famous 0:25:40.920 --> 0:25:43.080 last year because it was like ninety five percent of 0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:45.680 the time it's eleven personnel. It's the same three receivers. 0:25:45.960 --> 0:25:47.800 They don't change. They just they're good at it and 0:25:47.840 --> 0:25:50.840 that's what they do well. They're adjusting for their deficiencies 0:25:50.840 --> 0:25:52.679 this year because they're all the way up to twenty 0:25:52.720 --> 0:25:55.399 percent twelve personnel. Like they use it a lot because 0:25:55.560 --> 0:25:58.679 they have a good, versatile tight end and and a 0:25:58.720 --> 0:26:02.720 great running back. So it's working for them. Their receivers 0:26:02.760 --> 0:26:06.159 are scary because their versatile Cup and Woods and Cooks 0:26:06.200 --> 0:26:08.600 can all line up anywhere. I mean good receivers can, 0:26:08.680 --> 0:26:11.119 but they do it a lot. You see Woods, Woods 0:26:11.119 --> 0:26:13.439 lines up in the slot, he lines up outside. I 0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:16.440 think Woods is Golf's guy. I know, I know Cup 0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:18.760 and him both have seventy plus catches, like you said, 0:26:18.760 --> 0:26:22.320 but it seems like Woods is to the caller's point, 0:26:22.359 --> 0:26:24.679 Woods is like the guy he's looking for. You know. 0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:27.320 He's one of the most wide receivers in the NFL's 0:26:27.520 --> 0:26:30.359 in the red zone and the red zone. Yeah, Cooper Cup, 0:26:30.400 --> 0:26:31.879 I mean I saw a stat the other day. I 0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:33.840 have to look at it closer, but it was like 0:26:34.600 --> 0:26:38.680 the first forty games of your career, the number one 0:26:38.840 --> 0:26:41.680 receiver in the NFL history, of touchdown catches is Randy Boss. 0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:44.760 Number two is Cooper cup Wow. Yeah he's stud and 0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:46.600 he doesn't have a ton of catches to go with it. 0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:49.119 In yards, he just goes down there and he just s. 0:26:49.119 --> 0:26:51.160 He's a great route runner. The guy that you guys 0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:52.960 loved on the draft show. I mean, I don't want 0:26:52.960 --> 0:26:55.679 to pat myself on the back back, I but loved 0:26:56.400 --> 0:26:59.879 no He. I loved break I know the right man. 0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:02.680 I mean I've liked I liked Laquon Treadwell too, and 0:27:02.760 --> 0:27:04.679 that didn't work out for But yeah, we all have 0:27:04.720 --> 0:27:06.399 some good ones and some batt ones, right he It 0:27:06.640 --> 0:27:10.560 was just if you win Hester, remember that way back then, 0:27:10.600 --> 0:27:13.879 I was like, draft Hester, gotta have him. You were 0:27:13.960 --> 0:27:16.680 kind of right, but I don't I think I wanted 0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:18.680 to play him at offense. I don't care. You would 0:27:18.720 --> 0:27:22.240 have been right. Yeah, he's just I mean he's he's 0:27:22.240 --> 0:27:24.720 a mismatch. I mean, he's a big bodied guy. Who's 0:27:25.040 --> 0:27:27.919 I mean like he's got slot receiver shiftiness in a 0:27:28.080 --> 0:27:32.240 Jordy Nelson type of body. He's he's really talented. I 0:27:32.240 --> 0:27:34.439 mean he's he's not small, but I mean, you know, 0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:37.400 I'll pull up his measurables. Yeah, he's like six three. 0:27:37.440 --> 0:27:39.600 I want to say, really, yeah, for some reason I 0:27:39.680 --> 0:27:43.959 thought he was a six to two hundred, like he 0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:45.800 is not a I mean, yeah, he's not a se 0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:50.720 D It's okay. No, when you see a slot guy, 0:27:50.720 --> 0:27:52.880 you assume slot guys are gonna be a little smaller, 0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:55.720 and you know he's not a gym rat student of 0:27:55.800 --> 0:27:59.399 the game. No super smart slot receiver. I mean, halten, 0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:04.160 do you slot receiver? I mean he's not like that's 0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:08.000 He's a different. Receivers that are big like he usually 0:28:08.000 --> 0:28:11.320 doesn't happen. He different, He's a different breed. Um, he's 0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:13.600 a good player. I put words in a mud because 0:28:13.600 --> 0:28:15.920 that's not what I'm saying. I don't. I'm trying to 0:28:16.000 --> 0:28:20.880 keep us on this on the rail series. I don't. 0:28:21.000 --> 0:28:23.120 I don't think Jared Goff is that good. I don't 0:28:23.160 --> 0:28:25.840 say it again. I don't think that was some conviction. 0:28:25.920 --> 0:28:28.560 I don't think he's that good. I don't. I'm good. 0:28:28.600 --> 0:28:31.000 I was needing a headline title for this show. He 0:28:31.119 --> 0:28:35.440 got one. Jared Goff isn't that good. He's fine, He's fine. 0:28:35.480 --> 0:28:37.679 He clearly, I mean, he got him to a super Bowl. 0:28:37.880 --> 0:28:40.600 He's he's you know, he's played well enough that you 0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:42.720 gotta keep him. I mean, you're not gonna start over 0:28:42.760 --> 0:28:46.200 like Jared Goff can win you games. But I don't. 0:28:46.240 --> 0:28:49.600 I don't know. He's he's completing twenty seven percent of 0:28:49.600 --> 0:28:51.560 his deep balls. He's I don't think he's a great 0:28:51.560 --> 0:28:56.040 decision maker. He's he's throwing fifteen touchdowns and fourteen picks both. 0:28:56.200 --> 0:28:59.760 He threw two picks in this Seahawks game, one which 0:28:59.800 --> 0:29:02.960 was returned for a touchdown by Quandre Diggs, which you know, 0:29:03.040 --> 0:29:06.800 get like we dissect everything Dak Prescott does and like 0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:10.240 nobody else misses open receivers is off and as Dak well, 0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:13.520 I watched Jared Goff just sail a crossing route like 0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:17.680 literally went two yards passed and one yard high on 0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:20.560 the receiver and right into Quandre digs his hands and 0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:23.840 he's like, oh damn, yes, thanks, touchdown. I never saw 0:29:23.880 --> 0:29:26.800 anyone else in the picture, but it's it almost like 0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:28.520 he was the receiver. I mean it really did. Like 0:29:28.680 --> 0:29:31.200 if it's if the receiver's reaching his hands out over 0:29:31.240 --> 0:29:33.160 the middle, the ball was up here. He's like, oh 0:29:33.360 --> 0:29:35.520 well I was down here, Jared, what were you throwing 0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:37.240 one of those where you think it's got to be 0:29:37.240 --> 0:29:41.360 to somebody else. Yeah, where was the other guy was? 0:29:41.560 --> 0:29:43.600 To me? Which and I'm not trying to kill Jared 0:29:43.640 --> 0:29:45.720 Goff because that stuff happens, But if you listen to 0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:50.840 Cowboys fans, it doesn't like it only happens to Dak Prescott. Yeah. Um, Honestly, 0:29:50.920 --> 0:29:54.920 I was watching the game, like on replay and was 0:29:55.000 --> 0:29:58.200 looking at some of the things that he's able to do. One, 0:29:58.760 --> 0:30:00.640 he can at times, he can get rid of the 0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:04.960 ball pretty quickly and still connect with his receiver or no, 0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:08.360 go Okay, he can get out of the pocket quickly 0:30:08.400 --> 0:30:11.440 and still make a decision, and yes he makes mistakes. 0:30:11.640 --> 0:30:16.080 But facing this Cowboys defensive line and the way they've 0:30:16.080 --> 0:30:18.760 been playing, I started thinking, I'm like, oh my god, 0:30:19.320 --> 0:30:22.920 he can be really really good in this game going 0:30:22.960 --> 0:30:26.760 against the Cowboys, because if he's well, he played against Seattle. 0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:29.240 But even then, the fact that he was able to 0:30:29.280 --> 0:30:32.480 do those kinds of things there in that game, it 0:30:32.600 --> 0:30:35.720 started making me think about, oh boy, what is this 0:30:35.840 --> 0:30:38.960 gonna look like when they're facing this Cowboys defensive line. 0:30:39.040 --> 0:30:41.760 I absolutely don't disagree, and I just I just kind 0:30:41.760 --> 0:30:43.680 of crapped on him, But I mean he's a talented 0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:48.160 player like he is, and for ever, for every what 0:30:48.200 --> 0:30:50.440 the hell was that? There's you know, he had a 0:30:50.480 --> 0:30:53.760 play rolling out where he found Woods, the coverage was 0:30:53.840 --> 0:30:55.600 good and he just rifled it in there. I mean 0:30:55.600 --> 0:30:57.400 he was the number one pick for a reason. He 0:30:57.560 --> 0:31:01.040 certainly can make plays, I question, and his decision making 0:31:01.520 --> 0:31:06.480 and his accuracy is not outstanding, not by NFL standards, 0:31:07.360 --> 0:31:10.320 But can the pass rush get to him? Can the 0:31:10.360 --> 0:31:13.200 Cowboys cornerbacks cover these guys? I mean we just talked 0:31:13.200 --> 0:31:15.680 about you know, Robert Woods and Cooper Cup can both 0:31:15.680 --> 0:31:18.120 play in the slot. They're both big, and I mean 0:31:18.160 --> 0:31:20.440 that sounds like a problem for Jordan Lewis, honestly. And 0:31:20.480 --> 0:31:23.320 that's the other thing is Sean mcfay smart. He schemes 0:31:23.320 --> 0:31:25.440 easy throws for this guy all the time, like lots 0:31:25.440 --> 0:31:28.480 of crossing routes, lots of you see, like so many 0:31:28.520 --> 0:31:32.040 like layer concepts where there's a short option, an intermediate option. 0:31:32.080 --> 0:31:34.560 I know that's obvious, but they do it all the 0:31:34.560 --> 0:31:37.640 time where it's kind of like, okay, roll out and 0:31:38.040 --> 0:31:40.760 whichever one looks the most appealing, hit him, and there's 0:31:40.840 --> 0:31:43.840 it's five yards, twelve yards and eighteen yards. It happens 0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:47.240 all the time, and they're not hard throws by NFL standards. 0:31:48.040 --> 0:31:51.360 So having said that, I don't think he's amazing. He's 0:31:51.360 --> 0:31:54.200 certainly good enough to hurt these guys because Jeff Driscoll did, 0:31:54.280 --> 0:31:57.320 and at Mitch Drubisky, the key took off is the 0:31:57.360 --> 0:31:59.000 fact that he has the coach that he has. I 0:31:59.000 --> 0:32:01.720 think that always have to factor that into a quarterback 0:32:01.720 --> 0:32:04.200 because I think the better the coach, the more that 0:32:04.240 --> 0:32:06.480 you can hide some of those deficiencies and give them 0:32:06.480 --> 0:32:09.880 opportunities to succeed based upon what they do well. Because 0:32:09.880 --> 0:32:12.400 he definitely does have some talent, definitely has armed talent 0:32:12.560 --> 0:32:14.120 and can do a lot of things. Maybe you just 0:32:14.200 --> 0:32:15.960 hide some of those things he doesn't do so well. 0:32:16.280 --> 0:32:19.080 Let's go. But if the last two weeks or any indicator, 0:32:19.520 --> 0:32:21.800 I mean they're gonna try to set it up with 0:32:21.840 --> 0:32:23.840 Gurly though and that, and then I mean it looks 0:32:23.840 --> 0:32:26.240 like he's he should be fresh. He's only got one 0:32:26.320 --> 0:32:29.920 hundred and seventy carries on the year. And how much 0:32:30.000 --> 0:32:32.520 is that scare you? Knowing? How how tough the cowblt 0:32:33.000 --> 0:32:37.040 have so much, so much they don't I mean, good 0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:40.360 running backs have killed them Sony Michelle is like the 0:32:40.360 --> 0:32:42.280 only really good running back that they had. A lot 0:32:42.280 --> 0:32:44.280 of bad running backs have had. I shouldn't say bad, 0:32:44.320 --> 0:32:47.120 but average running backs have had decent days against them. 0:32:47.120 --> 0:32:48.800 But but yeah, I mean, I'm but I'm thinking about 0:32:48.840 --> 0:32:54.000 Dalvin Cook. Yeah, I'm thinking about both scarbro Yeah, who 0:32:54.040 --> 0:32:57.200 I mean, he hasn't He's not even a decent level yet. Yeah, 0:32:57.520 --> 0:32:59.360 and he had it. He had some good runs. Like 0:33:00.240 --> 0:33:02.760 running backs have had good days against Ronnie. We leave that. 0:33:03.960 --> 0:33:06.000 So that does that? Should I think that should scare 0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:08.720 everyone going into this game for sure. All Right, we're 0:33:08.720 --> 0:33:10.760 gonna take our final break. We'll come back.

We have a 0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:26.640 call from Sean and North Carolina. Sean, what up, Hey, guys, 0:36:26.640 --> 0:36:30.480 how's it going? All right? I would just um had 0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:33.160 a few observations, but you guys can touch on a little. 0:36:33.719 --> 0:36:38.160 But um, I feel like, um, these guys, like it's 0:36:38.200 --> 0:36:41.759 just basic things, like just like fundamentals and stuff that 0:36:42.400 --> 0:36:46.359 you know is trouble and this team and I know 0:36:46.440 --> 0:36:49.880 coaching takes a lot of flatcoard and everything, but like 0:36:50.040 --> 0:36:54.520 you have guys, listen, tackles, you got lanes and gap 0:36:54.600 --> 0:37:00.520 INTEGRITYESH receivers dropping balls. You know you can here like 0:37:00.520 --> 0:37:03.640 you know, I'm listening and watching you guys, uh sound 0:37:03.680 --> 0:37:07.319 from the sidelines and you can hear Mary Nelly basically saying, 0:37:07.360 --> 0:37:09.560 you know, I mean, time's gonna have to say the 0:37:09.640 --> 0:37:13.960 same thing. You know, I mean, these guys, your best guys, 0:37:14.040 --> 0:37:18.520 the Marcus Lawrence, you know, for se just watching him 0:37:18.520 --> 0:37:23.759 a couple of weeks ago against uh Alan and you know, 0:37:23.840 --> 0:37:25.840 same thing with Trabinsky. You know, these guys doing us 0:37:25.880 --> 0:37:28.920 read option and I'm just like, how many times he goes, 0:37:29.880 --> 0:37:33.320 you know, bite down and tackles the guy without the 0:37:33.400 --> 0:37:35.799 ball and watch the quarterback roll outside and there's no 0:37:36.280 --> 0:37:40.200 contain you know. And um, that's just one thing. Another thing. 0:37:40.239 --> 0:37:45.200 You know, this team preaches about having the right kind 0:37:45.239 --> 0:37:48.840 of guys. Well, I just want to know, dude, we 0:37:49.040 --> 0:37:56.520 got the right kind of right kind of guys? Because yeah, okay, um, 0:37:56.640 --> 0:37:58.799 can I tell you this that as saying all this, 0:37:59.320 --> 0:38:02.640 like the first part of it, in my mind, I 0:38:02.680 --> 0:38:06.520 was questioning, do the Cowboys have the right kind of guys? 0:38:07.080 --> 0:38:09.359 I mean, it's seriously what I was thinking. So here's 0:38:09.360 --> 0:38:11.200 the question, though, when you say that, what do you 0:38:11.200 --> 0:38:13.040 mean by the right kind of guys? Because I think 0:38:13.040 --> 0:38:15.560 there's a lot of different interpretations of what that means. 0:38:15.719 --> 0:38:18.680 Is that really good players? Is that guys that love football? 0:38:18.920 --> 0:38:20.600 Is that guy? Like, there's a lot of different ways 0:38:20.600 --> 0:38:23.239 you can dice that they don't have enough guys that 0:38:23.280 --> 0:38:25.920 are good enough to win. Okay, So right kind of 0:38:25.920 --> 0:38:28.799 guy for you is about ability? Yep, And that's the 0:38:29.040 --> 0:38:31.279 that's the right kind of guy for every coach in 0:38:31.320 --> 0:38:33.879 the NFL, because I don't care what they say about 0:38:33.920 --> 0:38:36.840 the right kind of guy. If he's KP and Kant play, 0:38:37.239 --> 0:38:39.360 they're not going to use them. I mean, that's just 0:38:39.480 --> 0:38:41.560 that's not the right kind of guy. Right kind of guy? 0:38:41.760 --> 0:38:44.960 Line one is playing well in the NFL. Line two 0:38:45.080 --> 0:38:47.239 through nine, they'll figure it out depending on how in 0:38:47.320 --> 0:38:52.040 line one goes. I completely agree with you. But but 0:38:52.360 --> 0:38:56.160 I again and again and again think that a lot 0:38:56.239 --> 0:38:58.279 of the guys on this team are talented, which makes 0:38:58.320 --> 0:39:01.640 me wonder, are are there guys on this team that 0:39:01.680 --> 0:39:05.680 aren't is just consumed by being great at football as others? 0:39:06.080 --> 0:39:07.839 Is it a motivation issue? And I think that's a 0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:09.840 fair thing to wonder right now with the way that 0:39:09.880 --> 0:39:11.600 they've played and the way that they've lost some of 0:39:11.600 --> 0:39:15.520 these games. I mean, and the message that they're getting, yeah, 0:39:15.680 --> 0:39:17.640 is the same. I guess, you know, like that's what 0:39:17.800 --> 0:39:19.839 it is like, because I don't think I don't think 0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:21.880 the coaching staff is all of a sudden it's not 0:39:22.080 --> 0:39:25.040 a good staff, but I just think it's all kind 0:39:25.080 --> 0:39:28.399 of come to a head where the message and how 0:39:28.440 --> 0:39:32.720 he delivers it is this constant and at this point 0:39:32.840 --> 0:39:35.719 it's just I think these guys are probably tired of it. Yeah, 0:39:35.760 --> 0:39:38.560 I do wonder if they're winning on Wednesay, Thursday, and Friday. 0:39:38.840 --> 0:39:40.719 We talk about that. We've talked about that a lot 0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:43.600 on this show over the years of you know, you 0:39:43.600 --> 0:39:45.759 can say the talent is one thing, and going out 0:39:45.760 --> 0:39:48.239 there and competing. They go out there, they compete hard. 0:39:48.640 --> 0:39:50.440 But if you're not, if you don't have that same 0:39:50.560 --> 0:39:54.440 level of enthusiasm and commitment on Wednesay, Thursday, Friday to prepare, 0:39:54.960 --> 0:39:57.840 then it'll show up at points in games when you 0:39:57.960 --> 0:40:00.600 just don't know what's going to happen, don't have a 0:40:00.680 --> 0:40:02.959 good enough read on your opponent because you maybe didn't 0:40:02.960 --> 0:40:06.320 study enough, or maybe your body's just not prepared because 0:40:06.320 --> 0:40:08.480 you didn't take good enough care of your body to 0:40:08.520 --> 0:40:10.239 be able to have that push in the fourth quarter 0:40:10.239 --> 0:40:12.560 when you're tired. Right, there's lots of things that are 0:40:12.600 --> 0:40:15.239 about what you do on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday that 0:40:15.400 --> 0:40:18.600 ultimately lead to success on Sundays, and all those things, 0:40:18.600 --> 0:40:20.440 in my opinion, are fair right now because of the 0:40:20.440 --> 0:40:22.880 way they're playing. Yeah, I mean, it's hard for me 0:40:22.960 --> 0:40:25.600 to think you are winning during the week when again, 0:40:25.680 --> 0:40:29.880 I mean the Chicago offense sucks like it's so bad, 0:40:29.920 --> 0:40:32.919 and they looked and Truebisky wasn't you know, he wasn't 0:40:32.920 --> 0:40:35.400 throwing dimes. He's like I think I read he was 0:40:35.520 --> 0:40:38.200 averaging like three and a half air yards per completion, 0:40:38.320 --> 0:40:40.640 which means he wasn't throwing the ball downfield. And it 0:40:40.640 --> 0:40:45.280 didn't matter because tight end screens and checkdowns to quarterrel 0:40:45.360 --> 0:40:48.480 Patterson are going through for thirty five yards. You have 0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:51.319 four straight scoring drives when you've been that bad all year, 0:40:52.040 --> 0:40:54.719 and that's an indictment of any defense that allows it. 0:40:54.760 --> 0:40:56.960 And it may just like, how well are y'all actually 0:40:57.000 --> 0:41:00.839 preparing for this stuff when this is happening totally, And 0:41:00.880 --> 0:41:02.759 you know, I do think that, you know, I've said 0:41:02.760 --> 0:41:05.040 it before about the talent, I don't think these players 0:41:05.040 --> 0:41:07.560 are as good as they as they as we thought 0:41:07.560 --> 0:41:10.520 they were. I definitely don't think they're as good as 0:41:10.760 --> 0:41:13.719 as the coaching staff thinks they are because I think 0:41:13.719 --> 0:41:16.399 that they continue to do what we do with these 0:41:16.440 --> 0:41:19.960 guys and it doesn't work. And again, I put a 0:41:19.960 --> 0:41:22.399 lot of it on the players, but it is very 0:41:22.400 --> 0:41:25.440 clear that the coaching staff is getting out coached in 0:41:25.440 --> 0:41:28.560 in these other games to these other staffs, because as 0:41:28.560 --> 0:41:30.520 soon as you say we're going to do what we do, 0:41:32.040 --> 0:41:34.280 you can just hear the coaches on the other side 0:41:34.280 --> 0:41:36.520 just rubbing their hands together, like, all right, we know 0:41:36.560 --> 0:41:39.320 what they're gonna do. What if we did this, Because 0:41:39.360 --> 0:41:43.680 we know what they're gonna do, They're gonna do it now. 0:41:43.840 --> 0:41:45.800 Like I love I love it. I agree with everything 0:41:45.840 --> 0:41:47.600 you said. You said it in a funny way. They're 0:41:47.600 --> 0:41:50.719 getting out coached. They're getting out coached. And it's not 0:41:50.760 --> 0:41:53.439 just Jason, it's the other it's the scheme, it's all 0:41:53.480 --> 0:41:56.920 of that stuff. And you know when when you can't 0:41:57.000 --> 0:42:01.279 stop Jeff Jeff Driscoll from running and Mitchell Trubisky, you 0:42:01.280 --> 0:42:03.879 know those guys like that, I mean, you know, it's 0:42:03.880 --> 0:42:05.680 just that they just don't have an answer for It's 0:42:05.680 --> 0:42:08.200 really when it's the same common theme. Right when you 0:42:08.280 --> 0:42:10.480 got these quarterbacks that are just rushing for all these 0:42:10.560 --> 0:42:13.000 yards that, by the way, aren't guys that necessarily are 0:42:13.040 --> 0:42:15.680 doing it to anybody else, and you're not going into 0:42:15.719 --> 0:42:17.920 the game saying, Okay, we know this is a deficiency 0:42:17.960 --> 0:42:20.280 from last week. We have to make that a priority 0:42:20.280 --> 0:42:22.600 to stop it this week, and then the same thing happens, 0:42:22.680 --> 0:42:25.000 right that's the part that that works. Here's here's the thing. 0:42:25.040 --> 0:42:28.120 Like I've seen a lot of college football games, a lot, 0:42:28.200 --> 0:42:29.919 and I've seen I've been on both sides over where 0:42:29.920 --> 0:42:31.520 this team's gonna be. You know, you haven't you're playing 0:42:31.520 --> 0:42:33.960 a team that they're not gonna beat you tonight, you know. 0:42:34.520 --> 0:42:36.400 But the first play of the game says a triple 0:42:36.480 --> 0:42:38.880 reverse passed to the receiver back to the quarterback and 0:42:38.920 --> 0:42:40.520 he throws it over here to the running back and 0:42:40.560 --> 0:42:42.760 they get fifty yards. And you're like, all right, well 0:42:42.760 --> 0:42:44.319 that was a good play, but you're not gonna win. 0:42:44.440 --> 0:42:45.880 And you know you're not gonna win because you had 0:42:45.880 --> 0:42:47.399 to do that on the first play to tell your 0:42:47.400 --> 0:42:49.560 guys we're gonna do this. But you really know you 0:42:49.600 --> 0:42:51.880 can't win because you had to do that kind of stuff. 0:42:52.600 --> 0:42:55.000 At least they're trying, though, See the Cowboys, I don't 0:42:55.000 --> 0:42:57.640 think they the Cowboys like we're taking the ball to 0:42:57.680 --> 0:42:59.600 start the game, we're gonna go, we're gonna score and 0:42:59.640 --> 0:43:01.840 all that. Like they think they're gonna win, but I 0:43:01.880 --> 0:43:04.000 don't believe that they have the talent to do it. 0:43:04.360 --> 0:43:06.759 So when do they figure out? When does the talent 0:43:06.800 --> 0:43:08.520 isn't playing up to part to be able to do it. 0:43:08.680 --> 0:43:11.080 Okay either way, I mean, it's the results the same. 0:43:11.320 --> 0:43:13.040 So when are they gonna when are they gonna flip 0:43:13.080 --> 0:43:16.120 the switch and go we can't beat the Rams like this. 0:43:16.840 --> 0:43:18.640 We need to do different things. And I'm not saying 0:43:18.680 --> 0:43:21.440 you have to run trick plays, but trick plays or 0:43:21.760 --> 0:43:23.680 show you that you're gonna try to go into the 0:43:23.719 --> 0:43:25.880 bag a little bit to do some different things. And 0:43:25.920 --> 0:43:28.640 this team doesn't. They're just like, we're gonna keep doing 0:43:28.680 --> 0:43:31.560 this because we have done it in the past, not 0:43:31.600 --> 0:43:33.840 against a winning team, but they've done you know, you 0:43:33.880 --> 0:43:36.200 know what I'm saying. Where it's like, yes, that's where 0:43:36.200 --> 0:43:39.000 the arrogance comes into play. Okay, we're not good enough 0:43:39.040 --> 0:43:43.440 to beat them. And like Jason's first year when when 0:43:43.440 --> 0:43:45.399 they were two one and seven and then he took over, 0:43:45.680 --> 0:43:49.120 they played games against the Saints and the Eagles that 0:43:49.239 --> 0:43:52.360 were they were really good teams that year. They didn't 0:43:52.360 --> 0:43:54.760 win the games, but they hung in there. They almost 0:43:54.800 --> 0:43:57.080 won the Saints. They probably should have won that Thanksgiving 0:43:57.160 --> 0:43:59.600 Day game, but they played a different way where they 0:43:59.600 --> 0:44:02.000 had to slow everything down because they knew their defense 0:44:02.120 --> 0:44:04.640 was terrible. Slow down. We get into drives right, he 0:44:04.719 --> 0:44:07.200 just ran ran norm rambling. All I'm saying this is 0:44:07.239 --> 0:44:11.200 that there's there's You have to at some point realize, okay, 0:44:12.160 --> 0:44:18.080 almost cussed. This stuff isn't working. And because it's not stuff, 0:44:18.080 --> 0:44:20.960 it's the other one and it's not working. So do 0:44:21.160 --> 0:44:23.880 something different, take your ego, put it over here, and 0:44:23.920 --> 0:44:25.680 try to win the game. All right, guys, appreciate you 0:44:25.760 --> 0:44:28.840 joining us. We'll be back tomorrow. We're gonna talk defense tomorrow, 0:44:29.040 --> 0:44:31.600 that Rams defense. You think the offense is good, We 0:44:31.680 --> 0:44:33.480 got some dusies for you tomorrow. We'll talk about that 0:44:33.600 --> 0:44:35.640 for Nick Eatman, Dave helm and Amber Garcia.
