1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: a break? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely ready

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: for a break. Yeah, and so much for that. It's

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com with

6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. No, no,

7
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: all right, good way to start off the show. Good

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: vibes here. How are you guys doing? Hello, Hey, welcome

9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: to the Break. I am back an episode. Oh no, Derek,

10
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: what episode is this? Fifty seven? Thank you very much?

11
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: Very important information there, all right, So let's jump right

12
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 1: into everything that's going on. A few roster moves have happened,

13
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: and nothing major, of course, but they did release both

14
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: Scarborough from the practice squad. Now there are two open.

15
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: Ross is still one. I think I think they they're

16
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: out there practicing. I mean, the Cowboys haven't yet to

17
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: officially announce it, but I think that they're out there practicing.

18
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: So therefore they're signed, right, Dave Um Darian Thompson is here.

19
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm not who's who's the other guy? There's a guy

20
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: named Goodwin Goodson. Yes, he Thompson's the safety drafted by

21
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: the Giants in the third round a couple of years

22
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: ago out of Boise State. Um, I don't know as

23
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: much about good Goodwin for like, some names just you

24
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: can't keep, you know what I mean. Like, I'm struggling

25
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: with this guy, but I'm not one hundred percent sure

26
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: he's here yet. It might not be official, but he's

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: expected to be here. Sounds like some some roster churning

28
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: in the defensive backfield. Ibraheim Campbell's out. He was mainly

29
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: a special teamer anyway. Thompson has started sixteen games. At

30
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: one point in his career, honestly, kind of seemed like

31
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: he had a role in New York's defense for a

32
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: minute and then he just fell off and he was

33
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: on Arizona's practice squads. So, um, you know, I don't

34
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: know that he's gonna push for a starting job, but

35
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: that is coming from Boise State. I don't know much

36
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: about it. All I know is that the guys coming

37
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: from over there turn out to be pretty okay. I mean,

38
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: you're not wrong. Scandrick was a great, great and maybe

39
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: not great. Scandrick was a pretty good corner for a

40
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: long time. DeMarcus Lawrence is arguably your best player. Tyrone

41
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: is a solid, versatile guy, and then Lvee Kellen Moore

42
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: did not win. I was waiting for that to come up.

43
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: I'm talking about defense. But there's also a bunch of

44
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: other guys I'm sure that played at Boise that are

45
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: not as good as these guys just mentioned. The vast

46
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: majority of the the vast majority of the Boise guys

47
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: that have come through here have been pretty good. Yeah,

48
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: and they Bols. Those are guys that they drafted and

49
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: they were pretty good. Right now, Darry and Thompson might

50
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I doubt. I wouldn't expect him to

51
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: do a whole lot, but he's out here. What's funny

52
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: is that you say, well, he was a third round pick,

53
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: and like, oh, third round pick, and then so Chatz

54
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: Green that happened, no doubt. But you can do that

55
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: too all across the draft. Rood done those first rounders,

56
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: second round, third rounders, whatever. The great, the Great Darius

57
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: Jackson has replaced Bow on the practice squad. Didn't even

58
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: realize he was cut by being back. Yeah, damn right,

59
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: my guys back love him getting off the bus. Thing

60
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: just didn't really play, you know. I mean, it's nice Scarborough,

61
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: it looks good, but there was no there's no role

62
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: for him. I guess, all right, well the guys our

63
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: black had practice. Now Cheeto he was. I guess wild

64
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: quarter was that when he was taken out of the

65
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: games third or fourth halftime, halftime he didn't come back

66
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: in the game. He was struggling with an ankle injury.

67
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: But he was at practice today. Now another big question

68
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: mark is still David Irving, who is still out. He

69
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: wasn't seeing out there today at least the portion that

70
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: we get to see, and Jason Garrett did mention that

71
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: he was expected to practice this week. Now again, do

72
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: we just go back to taking it day by the

73
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: Garrett's famous quote and just seeing what actually happens with Earl.

74
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: I think with David, when you see him and you

75
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: see him on the field and you see him playing

76
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: the game, then you're like, you know what, I think

77
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna play. But he'd had to run out on

78
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: the field, not just not just national anthem, Like he's

79
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: got to get on the field in the game about

80
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: to snap it, and you're like, he is going to play. Yeah,

81
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: that's it. I need to see him in a uniform

82
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: doing stuff on a game day Before I worry about it,

83
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: he might take it away. Further, I need to see

84
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: him on the field about to snap it. He was

85
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: supposed to be here yesterday, he wasn't here. He's supposed

86
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: to be here today, he's not here. Garrett hopes he'll

87
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: be here tomorrow. They were confident as of last Friday

88
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: that he was going to play in the game that Sunday.

89
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that he's got there's a lot

90
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: of stuff going on right now. It sounds like he's

91
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: got to clean up his life. And that's been the

92
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: story with him for a while now. But and Jason

93
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: Garrett said today is the same personal matter he was

94
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: dealing with last week. He talked about it in the summer.

95
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: He's just he had a lot of stuff going on

96
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: in his life. You know, over the last six to

97
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: eight months, you're suspending for four games. He didn't do

98
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: anything at training camp, so basically, you know, he was

99
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: not with the team for about eight weeks. Figure it out.

100
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: I know that's easier said than done. It is, and

101
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I mean, this is your profession,

102
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: and this you have a very small window in your

103
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: life where you can make two point six million dollars

104
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: more more, and you need to figure it out. You

105
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: have people that are counting on you, and I'm sorry,

106
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot going on, but money solves

107
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: a lot of issues, and so you can be able

108
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: to help certain things. You have eight weeks. I'm not

109
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: trying to to you know, overstate this. I'm not trying

110
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: to say, well, that's not a big deal. There's a

111
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: lot of big deals going on. But I'm just saying

112
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: I think if being gone for eight weeks, I think

113
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: you can get a handle of it and come back.

114
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: I can play you knew this day was coming. I

115
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: just I get what you're saying that until I guess,

116
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: until and unless I hear more about his story, I'm

117
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: unwilling to go completely there. I get your right because

118
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: as a as an adult, your responsibility is to provide

119
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: for your family, and sometimes you have to figure out

120
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: how to do how to handle your personal business, which

121
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: we all have things that come up in our life.

122
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: You have to figure out how to manage all those

123
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: things and at the same time do whatever you do

124
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: in order to bring money in for your family or

125
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: whatever your responsibility or role is within your family. But

126
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: the only part that that I still get a little

127
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: bit that I've slowed down a little bit on is

128
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: I don't know the situation. And if there is legitimately

129
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: a situation that's going on where you know it requires

130
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: him to be there. And let's say you have kids,

131
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: they'll say it involves his kids and he's got to

132
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: be there in order to take care of the situation.

133
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: I know, if it's me, I got to handle my kids.

134
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: My kids are the top priority. They're going to be

135
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: a higher priority than my job. I know that's bad

136
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: to say, but if it comes to it and I

137
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: have to make it decision and I have to be

138
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: at one or the other, I have to go and

139
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: take care of what needs to be taken care of them.

140
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: So again, I don't know what the situation is, but

141
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: I just I pause a little bit at going too

142
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: hard to him on that. You're right, though, at some

143
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: point he's got to figure it out, because if it

144
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: keeps happening like this, eventually your employer says, hey, man,

145
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: I just can't deal with the variability here and then

146
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: you and then now you got two problems. Now you

147
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: don't just have one problem, you got two problems, then

148
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: you would think the communications, the communication between him and

149
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys would be better than that, because why is

150
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett or even Jerry Jones standing up during in

151
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: front of cameras and basically saying, Oh, we'll have him

152
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: for the game or oh he's gonna be here for practice. Well,

153
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: but maybe maybe the situation didn't happen until Saturday. Maybe

154
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: the situation that kept him back didn't come up in

155
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: the way that it came up that forced him not

156
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: to go, didn't come up till Saturday. All I'm saying is,

157
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: we don't know that. I think I just I feel

158
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: a little bit hesitant on killing the guy when you

159
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: don't know what the situation is. And then you come

160
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: back later and you find out the real situation, you're like, oh, wow,

161
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: I feel bad about that, you know, I just I

162
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: don't know until I would know more about that, I

163
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: just I would be a little cautious, little cautious. Okay

164
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: for her to say, well, that's fine, you'd be cautious

165
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: with that, but when you you know, when do you

166
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: cut ties? That's a Jerry call. That's a Jerry Stephen

167
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: will Jason Garrett call. Those guys will have to figure

168
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: out at what point they feel like they're no longer

169
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: willing to deal with whatever he's dealing with personally as

170
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: an organization, because right now what he's dealing with personally

171
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: is affecting the organization. At some point they're gonna have

172
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: to make a decision on that. The one thing I

173
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: know about Jerry in watching him all these years, is

174
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: he is one of those guys that tends to help

175
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: his players as much as he possibly can, and is

176
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: willing to even even to the detriment of himself, where

177
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: his organization is willing to be there for his players

178
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: when they're having tough times. So I wouldn't think that

179
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: that time's coming anytime soon. But I don't know they'll

180
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: have to make that decision. Well, you know they put

181
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: him on the roster. I think there's something else going on.

182
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: If they put him on the roster and he's not

183
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: gonna pull you know that he obviously gets paid for

184
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: that week, So I think that might be something that's

185
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: being involved here is trying to help him out from

186
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: that standpoint maybe, And even so, if he was here,

187
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: you let's say he comes tomorrow and does something you

188
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't expect him to be playing this weekend. Just depends

189
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett. I mean, he hasn't had anything. I mean,

190
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: if you're throwing him out there for ten to fifteen snaps,

191
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: maybe they think he can do that. Right, there's a

192
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: point in the week. Jason Garrett said this today. There's

193
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: a point in the week where you have to make

194
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: that call. And we talk about it all the time.

195
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: It's usually Friday. So if he's here tomorrow and Friday

196
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: and can handle the workload, hell yeah, I'll play him.

197
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: I mean, not sixty snaps, but something. But let's see,

198
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: he's got to get here first. See, at this point

199
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: in the game, you know he's already like nothing changes

200
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: for him, you know, Irving. I mean, he's getting paid.

201
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: He's getting paid because he's on the roster, So not

202
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: playing or playing or whatever doesn't really matter to him,

203
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I don't well I don't know

204
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: if it doesn't matter to him, but he's getting paid.

205
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: Either way, he's getting paid. The Cowboys haven't really no

206
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: leverage there. He either helps him or he doesn't, but

207
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: the paycheck the next week will be exactly the same,

208
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: whether he comes back to Irving, I mean to Frisco

209
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: or whatever and plays or not. Yeah, but that's I

210
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: assume he's smart enough to know no, no, no, no, oh,

211
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: go ahead, he's a he's weird. He's not dumb, David

212
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: Irving is No, he's not dumb. He's eccentric, he's not stupid. Sorry,

213
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: go ahead. Smart enough to know what He's smart enough

214
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: to know that if he wants the money to keep coming,

215
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: he needs to get to work at some point, and

216
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: especially point in future weeks and also in the future

217
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: he's on a one year deal. But that's what also

218
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: tells me that maybe that maybe this thing is a lot,

219
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: whatever he's dealing with personally is a lot bigger than

220
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 1: we know. And it's a situation where again maybe the

221
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: organization in knowing that thing, as said, if you need

222
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: to go handle that, go handle that. Yeah, you know

223
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I mean, okay, let's say he's done.

224
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a dumb guy. No he's not.

225
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm just saying he's gonna go back and forth, back

226
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: and forth on this. He could do that. He could

227
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: play one game, two game, whatever. He could just play

228
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: one game in week seventeen of the season, three sacks,

229
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: two forced fumbles. He's a free agent. He's gonna get paid,

230
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: Like he's about that. Yeah, he's gonna get You don't

231
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: think I don't think he'll get paid if he doesn't

232
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: like put together a resume of reliability and production to

233
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: a point where a team wants to take that on. No,

234
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: if that's the only game he plays and he gets

235
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: three sacks, like somebody will hire him, it's not gonna

236
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: be anything worth getting excited about. Right, But he's not

237
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: gonna get a deal. He's not gonna get a pay

238
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: day if he plays one game after coming back in weekend. Again, honestly, honestly,

239
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: I think at this point him coming If he came

240
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: back now and came back this week and played through

241
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: the rest of this year, and let's say he ended

242
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: up with six sacks, that's a good number of sacks

243
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: for those number of games, I still don't think he

244
00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: get along and gets a long term deal. I think

245
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: somebody would be willing to give him one turn, one

246
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: year deal because I think teams are gonna look at

247
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: it and say, yeah, he's a good player, but can't

248
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: we rely on him. And that's been his issue from

249
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: the beginning is is he reliable enough. He's been suspended

250
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: a couple of times. He's had issues where he can't

251
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: be there for whatever reason. So he's had injuries. Like,

252
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff there that says I don't

253
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: know if I can rely on him. So I think

254
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: teams would be willing to give him a deal that

255
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: gives them a little peak. I don't think there're gonna

256
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: be a lot of teams willing to give him a

257
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: long term deal. All right, let's take our first break

258
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: and when we come back, we're gonna jump right into

259
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: the Jags offense and see how that matches up against

260
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense. If you're like me and you love

261
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have a heart thing, then cutting

262
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: the court is scary. But then I found out I

263
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: could switch to direct TV now and still get the

264
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: live sports I love. No satellite needed, no polky hardware,

265
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: no annual contract, just that the live sports you love.

266
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: Tried direct tv now for ten dollars a month for

267

Speaker 1: three months. There's a direct tv now dot Com direct

268
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: tv now more for your thing. That's our thing. He's

292
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: good on paper, it's when he's out on the field

293
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: that you really find out what he's made of. That's

294
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: why the Cowboys rely on more than stabs and scouting

295
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: reports when building their team. When picking a tractor, it's

296
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: why you should rely on more than specs and features

297
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: as well. You got to take it out and put

298
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: it to the test the Cowboys did when they named

299
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: John Deer their official tractor. To experience one for yourself,

300
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: visit your local Texas John Deer dealer or go to

Speaker 1: my John Deer Dealer dot com slash football. Back to

302
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: the Break. Welcome back to the second segment of Cowboy's Break. Now,

303
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: there are a lot of bad teams around the league,

304
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: but Jacksonville isn't necessarily one of them. Right now, they

305
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: hold the number one defense in the whole NFL. But

306
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: we will get into that tomorrow, which is going to

307
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: be pretty painful, and but for today, listen, stay on

308
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: the offense side. The team is currently three and two.

309
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: They are coming off with a loss against Kansas City

310
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: thirty fourteen. So let's start off with their quarterback, Dave.

311
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: Tell me about him. What are some of the things

312
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: that this defense can possibly do against him and stop him?

313
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: You guys know about Blake Bortles. Um, Yeah, this, I mean,

314
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: it's funny. This offense in the grand scheme of things. No,

315
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: not in the grand scheme of things, like they're it's

316
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: they're weird, like they're they're not bad. Like let me,

317
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna say bad. I didn't expect to

318
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: say weird. You sit here, you think like, oh, they

319
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: lost nine six to the Titans. Oh they lost thirty

320
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: to fourteen in the Chiefs, Like they can't move the ball.

321
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: That's not really true. This is the ninth overall offense

322
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Uh, they're twelfth in passing, fifteenth and rushing.

323
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: They average three hundred passing yards. Where are they in scoring?

324
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: They are awful at touring. So I hate the status.

325
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: I know. I know that I'm not saying move to football,

326
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying, yeah, I'm just saying that. That's

327
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: to me, that's the overrated status. When you start talking

328
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: about yards on offense or defense, tell me how much

329
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: are you scoring? Because that really is an indication of

330
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: your offense or your defense, like twenty points, twenty thirty, four,

331
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: thirty something. Again, they're scoring points, so don't tell me

332
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: they're offul are they They're they're twenty six and so yeah,

333
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: they're not down there. I disagree. No, I'm talking about

334
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: every game that they've played so far. That's that is. Yeah,

335
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: that's internal. But it's still more than what the Cowboys

336
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: are making, so it's not far off. They're about the

337
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: same scoring I think, Yeah, yeah, Cowboys are averaging nineteen something,

338
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: they're sixteen something. I mean the Cowboys are terrible, ye,

339
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: but I think this team's probably this is my point,

340
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: and I hear you like, yards don't matter at the

341
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: end of the day. But like you see, you think

342
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: of Blake Borrels, you think about the fact that they're

343
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: losing games nine to six, You're like, oh, they can't

344
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: move the ball. They can definitely move the football, they

345
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: just haven't figured out how to punch it in, whereas

346
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can't do anything. I mean, the Cowboys are what,

347
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: they're twenty sixth in total offense, Like they cannot throw

348
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: the ball. They're not averaging two hundred yards per game.

349
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: The Jags are there, they can do that. So it

350
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: just scares me to think that, yeah, they're not clicking

351
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: in the red zone, but they have the pieces that

352
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: they can or at least it looks like it anyway

353
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: getting it. But Blake Bortles is Blake Bortles. Like you know,

354
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: they got to the a FC title game. He sort

355
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: of elevated his game, like he he definitely is capable

356
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 1: of playing a great game. Yeah, one great game earlier

357
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: this year. He no, yeah, he lit up them. He

358
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: lit up the Pats. He played great against the Pats,

359
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: and he's played adequately in four of the five games.

360
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: And then he just chunked up a stinker of all

361
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: stinkers against the Chiefs. He threw five picks. Uh, these

362
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: are their red zone trips. You know, you talk about

363
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys played this inspired defense in the red zone

364
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: against the Texans. The Jags just fell apart. I mean

365
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: they went to the red zone five times. They turned

366
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: it over on downs. Bortles threw a pick, then he

367
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: threw a touchdown, then they turned it over on ounds,

368
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: then he threw another pick. This he threw a football

369
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: into the back of Aligneman's helmet and it ricocheted and

370
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: was intercepted. He also threw an interception from the from

371
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs twenty two, which is not a red zone turnover,

372
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: but it might as well be. I mean, like he

373
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: played so that play where the Chiefs returner was like

374
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: not going down, Like yes, yeah, it was one of

375
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: the best. Yeah. He took it all the way out

376
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: to midfield, like these guys never get the ball and

377
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: they're like, I'm not giving it up. Like put him

378
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: on offense. I thought it might have been Trevarious Ward,

379
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: but it wasn't him. Stand there's some interesting similarities I

380
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: think here between these two offenses. Your quarterback has potential.

381
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: I think he's athletic. Blake Bortles is. You don't think

382
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: of him as being an athletic guy, at least I

383
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: didn't until I watched him. But why because he's tall

384
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: and white, Like he looks I mean, he's he's he's

385
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: he looks like a statue when he stands back in

386
00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: the pocket. Seller here that there's something. I mean, I

387
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: know I didn't say that you could. I don't think

388
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: of Blake Bortles as being this athletic quarterback. I just

389
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: don't but whatever. But he can escape pressure and he

390
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: has had at least twenty seven rushing yards in every game.

391
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: They've had um longs of twenty one, twenty three, and

392
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: forty one like he'll wait, he'll hurt you. Forty one

393
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: yard run, yes again two. I believe that one was

394
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: in the opener against UMIs Group. No, that was the Pats.

395
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: He did it again. Who'd they open with? I don't remember,

396
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: but he's gone from the No. One yard run. It

397
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who. But I mean, some of them are

398
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: some of them are designed, some of them are scrambles.

399
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: But he's had a run like that in damn near

400
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: every game they've played. Um Alex Smith like kind of sneaky,

401
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,239
Speaker 1: but sneaky. That's a good one. Yeah, that's a good one. Um.

402
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: His offensive line is not amazing. They signed Andrew Norwell.

403
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: He was the highest paid guard in football before Zach

404
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: got his deal. Mart, thank you. That absolutely going to

405
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: raise it to hear the left side of him and

406
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: Josh Wells looks pretty good. The right side, aj Can

407
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: at guard and our old friend Jeremy Parnell at right

408
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: tackle me. They're awful. They're bad, Jeremy, Jeremy Parnell looks

409
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: like he got paid. He got a pretty decent deal. No,

410
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: he did not. He did not add the e um Jeremy,

411
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: it's Jeremy. He's Jeremy. He looks like he's moving in

412
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: quicksand I think that's something to watch. With DeMarcus Lawrence

413
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: primarily playing on the left side. I know, it seems

414
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: like we've said that every week and sometimes it's worked

415
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: out really well. It didn't work out agree against Houston

416
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: or Seattle, but you're starting to see and that Houston

417
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: really gave a lot of attention to him. To Lawrence,

418
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: he didn't. He didn't get a lot of opportunities. He

419
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of one on one with him. Now,

420
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: he did make a big play at the end of

421
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: the game him Jalen Smith got after Watson. Yeah, No,

422
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: he did have a nice pressure at the end of

423
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: that game. But which is kind of shocking to me

424
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:57,959
Speaker 1: that with them paying so much attention to him as

425
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: somebody else didn't get off that that was kind of surprising. Well,

426
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: we can talk about ninety four. I mean, he's really

427
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: not doing anything for you. I mean, positively, he's doing

428
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: some things for you, you know, as far as the

429
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,959
Speaker 1: penalty wise, what's that last penalty was really tough? That

430
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: was a football play too. Yeah, I don't think that

431
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: was a I don't like that call. Now, the one

432
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: in Seattle where he kind of hits the guy right

433
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: in the face in front of everybody world, that was

434
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: that was an issue. Yeah. Um, it would be great

435
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: if Randy Gregory could play well in this game. Actually,

436
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: because if you watch the Chiefs game, d Ford, who

437
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: is a He's a three four type of rusher, small

438
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: linebacker type, speed guy, pretty mediocre career considering how highly

439
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 1: he was drafted. He looked like he looked like von

440
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: Miller out there against Jeremy Parnell and some of their

441
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: other guys. So I think you can get to him

442
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: off the edge, and I definitely think you can take

443
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: advantage of the right side of that. Um, what's happened

444
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: to tackle? Good question? Yeah, no, at the start of season,

445
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: the first two games about to really make some playing

446
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: and it's just the last few weeks is just I

447
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: haven't really seen him. He has fallen off in the

448
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: last three games. I don't think we've played that drop

449
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: in a while. It was just like, oh, this drove

450
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: me crazy. So I went back and look, Um they

451
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: they squeaked out a win over the Giants in week one.

452
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: I remember that. Now sae Quon had that big seventy

453
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: yard run. Um. Yeah, but here's so I feel bad

454
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: saying this reminds me of the Dallas offense. But like

455
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: just case in point, the Jags let Alan Robinson and

456
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: Alan Hearns go and they didn't do a ton to

457
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: replace him. Like they brought in Dante Moncrief from Indie.

458
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: They drafted my guy DJ Shark from LSU. They have

459
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: d D Westbrook and they found Keelan Cole who's in

460
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: his second year, and like these guys are good. Um,

461
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 1: Keelan Cole's actually bigger than I thought he was. He's

462
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: like six one to something. Um, but they all where

463
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: did Lee go? Lee's hurt? Um, he's on I R

464
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: I believe, Yeah, I didn't know he's own. Yeah, I

465
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: believe these are their top three guys. Um a Cardinal's

466
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: top four. But he really is. He's the receiver's coitch,

467
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: is he? I say they remind me the Cowboys because

468
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: I just don't they don't have like a stud I mean,

469
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: Cole Cole can do some nice things. He's already halfway

470
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: to his reception tally from last year. Westbrook is scary

471
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: and that he's fast, but like they don't have just

472
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: this guy that can do everything. And that's so my

473
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: point is they really do two things in my opinion,

474
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: like this. You know, we talked about the Texans and

475
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: all this motion and you know, newfangled stuff. The Jags

476
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: don't really do that. They're way more traditional and they

477
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: use the speed of these receivers because they're all burners.

478
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: They send them deep and they either do that so

479
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: they can clear out space for somebody to run underneath,

480
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: or they just bomb it to him. Like literally, Bortles

481
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: is going to take at least five, if not eight,

482
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: to ten deep shots in this game, like literally, like

483
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: you'll see possessions where he does at three plays in

484
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: a row. In other words, that's why they either score

485
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: little points or they just go crazy like they did

486
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: against New England. If they can hit those big plays,

487
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: they love to live with the deep ball. But then also,

488
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: and you know he hasn't been consistent, but Dede Westbrook

489
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: can really hurt you because again, you know, they'll hit

490
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: him on a crossing route after clearing out space with

491
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,959
Speaker 1: these deep routes and if you don't make the first tackle,

492
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: big time yak stuff. He had. He had nine for

493
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: one thirty against the Jets two weeks ago. But they

494
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: and to get back to the red zone. They don't.

495
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: They haven't figured that out one much like the Cowboys,

496
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: I don't think they have a guy who can consistently

497
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: win when the field shrinks. And as much as they

498
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: built this team, they think they want to run the

499
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: ball like, they're not great at it obviously. Fournette, guy,

500
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: Fournette's not gonna play. Although interestingly, and this goes back

501
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: to last year, Like, you know, I love Leonard Fournette.

502
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: His yards per carries not amazing, you know, Like, but

503
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: they can with a guy like him, you can afford

504
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: to give it to him a lot. Yeah, especially when

505
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: you have an offense and doesn't have a lot great

506
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: receiving options and afford to give it to him a lot.

507
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: He gets hurt a lot, That's true. He's Fred Taylor

508
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: talking about old Jacks. TJ. TJ. Yelden is averaging like

509
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: four and a half per carry, So like he's I mean,

510
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: he's fine. And there they can run the ball when

511
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: they want to but it's it doesn't wow me. I mean,

512
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: it looks like Lamar Miller to me. Mine. I mean,

513
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: like I said, there's not you don't see anywhere near

514
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: as much motion. Like this is a very traditional looking offense,

515
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: at least by modern standards. Um, they've targeted yelled in

516
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: thirty three times. He scares me more as a receiver

517
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: than as a runner. Like, I don't think he's gonna

518
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: dominate this game, but they could throw it to him

519
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: a lot um and yeah, like this is a big

520
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: play offense. But when they don't get them, they kind

521
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: of stagnate. And then when the field shrinks and you

522
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: can't go over the top of people, they haven't figured

523
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: out how to get into the end zone. How much

524
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: does that help the Cowboys that um with a guy

525
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: like excuse me, a team like this that that's that

526
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: loves to throw the ball deep, which means you gotta

527
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: take a little bit more time to allow those routes

528
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: to develop. And an offensive line like you said that

529
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: the right is at the right side or the lift side,

530
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: right side of the right side on the right side,

531
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: that's a problem. How much has that contributed it to

532
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: them getting a lot of sacks because they want to

533
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: take the time and let the play develop, but their

534
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: their offensive line can't hold up. Yeah. No, he's been

535
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: sacked eleven times in five games. It's not a huge

536
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: number though, right, it's probably middle of the league. Yeah,

537
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: I mean the Cowboys have given up what thirteen So yeah,

538
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: it's not great. It's not among the league's best. I

539
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: don't it's not among the league's worst either, but yeah,

540
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: And like I said, speed, for me is the thing,

541
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: because like Jeremy Parnell just cannot deal with a guy

542
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: with like a great first step. But then Bortles is

543
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: athletic enough to deal with some of that. And I

544
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: think a lot of these are like, you know, he

545
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: doesn't wait to do to take that shot, you know,

546
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: like these aren't long developing plays. But I don't he

547
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 1: doesn't get the ball out anywhere near as fast as

548
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: the last two quarterbacks that they've played. So I feel

549
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: like we say this every week, but there's plays to

550
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: be made in the past rush if they can get home,

551
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: which I'd love. I know it did not work against

552
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: the Shawn Watson they blitzed and it did not work,

553
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: but I think it could against this guy. You know,

554
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: I wonder, excuse me, I wonder. I'll ask you guys

555
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: the question, do you think against Houston, the reason it

556
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: didn't work is because in the first half he was

557
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: kind of leaking out quite a bit, really in the

558
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: first quarter, and that maybe the defense decided and maybe

559
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: the coordinators decided, hey, it's a better operator. It's better

560
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: for us to just stay in our lanes and keep

561
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: him in the pocket then to rush aggressively and allow

562
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: him to leak out. Do you think that maybe that

563
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: was a part of the reason why they weren't getting

564
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: home as frequently. Well, I mean I think they weren't

565
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: getting home because because he gets out of that. I mean,

566
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: I agree with with some of that that there was

567
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 1: a change there in philosophy, but I do think that

568
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: you know, they the defensive tackles as they did play

569
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: pretty well, but a lot of that pressure came from

570
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: the outside. Then when he steps up and does come out,

571
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: I mean, there's the linebackers. You know, they have to

572
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: a decision to make every time. I know there was

573
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: a play where he was out there and Anthony Brown

574
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 1: had to decide do I go after you or do

575
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: I stay home? So that's just what a mobile quarterback does.

576
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if if it be is aggressive with Bortles, right,

577
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: But that was kind of my point is maybe if

578
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: that was their strategy, if that was their thought in

579
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: that game, maybe you don't have to worry about that

580
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: as much in a game like this because you know,

581
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: when you when you're dealing with a guy that's athletic, Yeah,

582
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: that's different than dealing with the guy who's completely mobile.

583
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: You know, I think you have to be a lot

584
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 1: more cautious when you're dealing with a Deshaun Watson. They

585
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: have to be Not only that, but I just think

586
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson his nails, you know, like he's he's got it.

587
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: And I don't know, ports like that sounds like a

588
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: hot take like I've never met Blake Bortles, But I

589
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think he's got it. I don't

590
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: think he's like poised and is just always gonna be.

591
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: He seems like he's got it. I don't think you

592
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: have to meet the guy well, I know, well, when

593
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: you say got it, can he play? Well, that's saying

594
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: here's the thing about athletic quarterbacks, and I think this

595
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: is what you know, you see guys in college do

596
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: some great things. Uh. You see some athletic guys that

597
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: don't ever get drafted. Uh. You know what's the difference

598
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: between a Dak and Deshaun Watson. This guy gets picked

599
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: pretty high or Mahomes gets picked pretty high. Um. I

600
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: think it's it's being able to throw on the move,

601
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: like actually running and throwing at the same time. I

602
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: don't think Dak is really that good at that. I

603
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: kind of agree with you. I think he could run

604
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: out there and then he needs to kind of stop

605
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: and all that. But when he's just slinging it. You know,

606
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: there's a lot of times we see on tape. You're

607
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: like he's open, he's there, and I'm like, okay, but

608
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: he's on his back foot and he doesn't have that

609
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: Farve could do it, Mahomes could do it. He doesn't

610
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: have it. He's got to set his feet. That's the

611
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: difference to me between a fourth round pick and a

612
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: first round pick. And that's what I don't know. If

613
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: not Bordles on the other hand, yeah, athletic, that's fine,

614
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: but you still need to set your feet and throw it.

615
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: If you're in Watson though, you saw him just slinging

616
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: the ball, So I think I disagree, Like it seems

617
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: like one of Dak's mo consistently good throws is when

618
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: he's drifting in a direction and then just fires it

619
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: in there, which, like, I think he's a pretty good

620
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: thrower on the run. The problem is, and Jason Garrett

621
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: talked a lot about this today, is like if he

622
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: has to move in the pocket and re establish himself,

623
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: he's not good at it. He's he just isn't. But

624
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: he seems like Jason did not say that, I'm I'm

625
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: just knowing Jason. He did not say that. Jason just

626
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: talked a lot about the art if you will of

627
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: like moving in the pocket. He's like, you know, it's

628
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: not always noticeable to the naked eye or to somebody

629
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: who doesn't play the position, but like the best quarterbacks

630
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: have to move in the pocket and re establish their

631
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: watch watch him operate in the pocket. He never runs

632
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: what he does, he just moves, He slides, and when

633
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: he gets to where he's going, he re establishes and

634
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: he throws. And he's so good at case in point,

635
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: like one of the better players Dak made the other

636
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: night was when it all went to hell, and he

637
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,959
Speaker 1: was running for dear life and through that prayer to Tavon,

638
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: And I mean it was a well placed ball. Tavon

639
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: had to go get it, but it went where it

640
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: needed to be. It's when he has to stit sept

641
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: somebody and move and then there's a guy in his face.

642
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: He doesn't re establish his mechanics to the point where

643
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: it goes where he wants it to. Yeah, all, and

644
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: that note, Let's take our final break, and when we

645
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: come back, I want you to tell me, based on

646
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: everything that you said, what is going to be the

647
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: toughest matchup between these two teams. While a player can

648
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: look good on paper, it's when he's out on the

649
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: field that you really find out what he's made of.

650
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: That's why the Cowboys rely on more than stats and

651
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: scouting reports when building their team. When picking a tractor,

652
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: it's why you should rely on more than specs and

653
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: features as well. You got to take it out and

654
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: put it to the test the Cowboys did when they

655
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: named John Deer their official tractor. To experience one for yourself,

656
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,760

704
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: I have a lot of comments, but I will avoid

705
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: them because we have more things to talk about. David,

706
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: what was the thing that you wanted to add A well,

707
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: so we saw during the break. I don't I don't

708
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: know how big of a deal this will be. But

709
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: they did sign Jamal Charles. They lost they lost Corey

710
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: Grant to a list frank injury, and Leonard Fournette has

711
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,959
Speaker 1: already been ruled out. So he'll be your number two.

712
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: I wonder, just like t J. Yeldon, I don't know.

713
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: I worry more about them in the passing game than

714
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: the running game, like they're gonna run the ball. I

715
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 1: trust the Dallas front seven. This is the what I

716
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 1: already said it. This is the fifteenth best rushing offense.

717
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: They can move the ball, but it's it's not something

718
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: that breaks me out. Do you remember going to games

719
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: ut when he was there? No, that was he was

720
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: way after Sorry. Sorry. He seems like an old guy.

721
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: He's been around the league for a long time. But

722
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: I'm also an old guy, so true. Yeah, I was.

723
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,760
Speaker 1: I was back in school. What I was actually gonna

724
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: bring up? Quarterback? This is a fun little brothers. I'm listening. Yeah,

725
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: thank you, I know you are fun little stat that

726
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: I would not have guessed. We'll talk about the Jags

727
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: defense tomorrow. But how many takeaways do you think they

728
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: have this year on defense? How many? Not very many?

729
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 1: Because I have them in fantasy and they're not getting

730
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: me points that I thought they'd be getting me. Sorry man.

731
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: Six they're stopping yards or not. Teams aren't scoring a

732
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,919
Speaker 1: lot on the most part. But yeah, turnovers aren't happening. Five.

733
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: It is won a game. Miles Jack had to pick

734
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,240
Speaker 1: six in Week one and they've basically been mad ever since.

735
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: How many times have they given the ball away? Twelve?

736
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: They lead the league. Bortles wants to give you this fall.

737
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: He does still have a winning record. Yeah, that tells

738
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: you how good that defense really is. It is, but

739
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: I mean we've seen it firsthand your offense. If your

740
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 1: offense isn't a guarantee to score seventeen points in any

741
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: given week, it doesn't matter how good your defense is,

742
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: you'll still lose more games. How many picks does that

743
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: has that throne for? Four five touchdowns and four picks?

744
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: Four picks? I mean, of all of those picks, every

745
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 1: one of them has been knocked up in the air, right,

746
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: I mean, and this isn't a this isn't a good

747
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: thing about that, both the ones in Seattle and both

748
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: of the ones in Houston. I mean, he's not just

749
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: like staring down a guy throwing it and it's not

750
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: you know, but that's not necessarily a good thing. I'm

751
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: not saying, oh, it's all great. I mean, because he's

752
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: forcing the ball in there when he maybe he shouldn't

753
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: enforce it into players that he really shouldn't be like

754
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: Thompson is one of them, Jarwin is another gallup was

755
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: the one that dropped it? That earl cough a shoe?

756
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: What's the one? What's the and Tavan all four of those. Yeah, again,

757
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: that's when you need your receivers to be able to

758
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: make plays. I could have, that's true. And the first

759
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: side of that, we always talked about Deaz and he

760
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: knocked a few ball. You know, he played volleyball a

761
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: little bit last year too, But he also caught some.

762
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 1: That's one thing we're not seeing out of these guys.

763
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: They're just not like you know me versus you like

764
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: he caught that. Yes, how often are you seeing them

765
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: at one specific guy going up against another defender? You're

766
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: compared to des brian to what des Briant was used

767
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,919
Speaker 1: to getting. It's not I'm saying Dez got a lot

768
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: of chances to go fifty fifty right and go up

769
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: against a defender. These receivers are not getting that same

770
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: amount of time. You feel comfortable with any of them

771
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: doing that, like doing any of those guys. I would

772
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: like to give them a try and see if just

773
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,959
Speaker 1: having them in there a little bit longer would help

774
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: them out, because clearly the whole rotation thing isn't working. Oh,

775
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: you're talking about opportunities just in the game, not necessarily

776
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: throwing up fifty fifty balls. I'm sorry. I get you, Yeah,

777
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: I got you. Yeah, I'm just saying they don't when

778
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: the balls in the air. I don't think it's fifty

779
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: fifty ball right now. That's the problem. I don't think

780
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: this is a fifty fifty ball. I think it is

781
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: a thirty seventy ball. And seventy thirty is that you're

782
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: gonna catch it. Seventy is that it's hitting the ground

783
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: or it's going to another team, And that's not really

784
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: good at all. This isn't fifty fifty. Well mean, yeah,

785
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: my question would be, how do you fix that? Though?

786
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 1: Is it what Amber says that maybe you need maybe

787
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: you need to limit down. I mean, you got you

788
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: still got to play this season, right, So what do

789
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,959
Speaker 1: you do this this season? Like? Is it what Amber

790
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: saying where you limit you kind of shrink your your

791
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: rotation with wide receivers and you use specific guys a

792
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: lot more. Is it the kinds of routes that they're

793
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: running that maybe you need to be doing more of

794
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: another kind of thing using these using the skill set

795
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 1: of these wide receivers versus what they're doing right now? Like,

796
00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: how do you fix that? Lenahan is this is his

797
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: playbook this is his playbook. So if this is I mean,

798
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if he's if he

799
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: just hasn't flipped to like the exotic pages of all

800
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: the cool stuff that is exotic. Yeah, here's something I

801
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: don't understand this whole, Like, oh, why not let Jason

802
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 1: Garrett do the play calling when you're at this point

803
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: and so much is a stake right now and the

804
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: place is getting so heated up? Why not just do it?

805
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: And who cares? Who cares what people have to say

806
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: about it? Who cares about pride? Put that aside. Your

807
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: goal is to win a game. Let's do it, no

808
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: matter what it takes, and just give it a try

809
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: and see how it works out for the team. But

810
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: the coach has to get to a point where he

811
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: feels like that's the biggest problem. How can you not

812
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: feel that way? I'm not talking you might feel that way.

813
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 1: I see it. The coach has to get to that point,

814
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 1: and I'm not stay that he does that he feels

815
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: like that's the biggest problem that needs to be changed.

816
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: The second where Jason Garrett go to school Princeton. That's

817
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 1: typ clear pretty smart school. Yeah, okay, I'm gonna do

818
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,839
Speaker 1: the play call in this week, we're gonna play Jacksonville.

819
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: Guess what Jacksonville's deef. I need to be able to

820
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: run in football. Okay, well you don't. You don't do that,

821
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: you don't pass, and you lose maybe not whatever, game right,

822
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: right right right? Let let Ahan take this one and

823
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,919
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you know what, I'm gonna

824
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: take over for Washington and whatever. Its very smart, right.

825
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: Let let Ahan get one more with the Jaguars and

826
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: then it's time and then we may because if he

827
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: does it, can you imagine, Okay, he takes over the

828
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 1: play call, let's say this week, and everyone knows about it,

829
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 1: and the three and out is zeke for two incomplete

830
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: here sack on third down punt? The I mean, how

831
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: many tweets are gonna be like, oh, look, if he

832
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 1: takes over play calling, none of us will know. None

833
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: of us will know about it publicly. We might hear

834
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: rumors and people might tell us off the record, you're

835
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: not gonna announce, Hey, Jason's taken over. Next week when

836
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: you get to talk to Scotland and Scott will just

837
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: kill Scott will still be talking pay and what you

838
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: continue to do what we do. We do what we do.

839
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: Covered your mouth the whole game, and Lenahan was eating

840
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: the hot dog the whole first half, like, what's going

841
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 1: on here? They don't get out If something like that

842
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm saying, there will be rumors. They will

843
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: never admit to it. I mean, it's happening right now

844
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 1: in my school. The head coach is called. You cannot

845
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 1: convince me he's not calling the place. And you cannot

846
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: convince me he wasn't calling the place starting earlier in

847
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: the season than just when the offensive Cordy was out.

848
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: Let me ask this question again, where did Garrett go

849
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: to school? Okay, so the flip side always scored twenty

850
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,439
Speaker 1: eight points and they win twenty eight to ten offen

851
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: dack those for three fifty. Garrett, what was the issue? Well,

852
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: you know, I started calling the place this week. He's

853
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,919
Speaker 1: not gonna say that, you know, Garrett, you talk about

854
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: it all the time. He walks in that same blue outfit.

855
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: He's not he's not giving anything away, Red, don't give

856
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: anything work. Well, Dave, you gave it us a pretty

857
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: good scouting report. It was pretty bad. You made him

858
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: sound pretty bad, which is good. So it's good job,

859
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: pretty good. Hey, you know, like I said, I always

860
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: try to do my own homework, but I'd be stupid

861
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 1: not to cross check with Brian. I didn't realize we

862
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: were at a time, so yeah, we're running out, but

863
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: really quick. Ran watch this offense and was like this,

864
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: they can they match up well with these guys, And

865
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: I agree. I mean, that is a favorable matchup. The

866
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 1: tough one is tomorrow defense. But I mean, these corners

867
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: can stay with these These corners can stay with these,

868
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: these receivers. I worry about the underneath stuff. Westbrook catching

869
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: a ten yard pass and going sixty. That scares me.

870
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: But they haven't. They haven't given up more than twenty

871
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: four points this season. They can hold these guys to

872
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: less than that. I believe that, barring unless the defense

873
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: is scoring touchdowns for him, they can keep this offense

874
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: to twenty four or less. There's no doubt in my mind.

875
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: Go nice. I like that. Thank you, Dave, Thank you

876
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:02,840
