WEBVTT - Cowboys Break: Don't Sleep on Bortles, Jags Offense 0:00:01.240 --> 0:00:03.760 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:03.800 --> 0:00:06.960 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for 0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:11.560 a break? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely ready 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:15.440 for a break. Yeah, and so much for that. It's 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:21.400 time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com with 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:28.160 Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. No, no, 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:31.760 all right, good way to start off the show. Good 0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:35.559 vibes here. How are you guys doing? Hello, Hey, welcome 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:39.520 to the Break. I am back an episode. Oh no, Derek, 0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:42.120 what episode is this? Fifty seven? Thank you very much? 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:47.080 Very important information there, all right, So let's jump right 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:52.279 into everything that's going on. A few roster moves have happened, 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:57.360 and nothing major, of course, but they did release both 0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:02.480 Scarborough from the practice squad. Now there are two open. 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:04.960 Ross is still one. I think I think they they're 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:07.760 out there practicing. I mean, the Cowboys haven't yet to 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:11.000 officially announce it, but I think that they're out there practicing. 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:15.440 So therefore they're signed, right, Dave Um Darian Thompson is here. 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.800 I'm not who's who's the other guy? There's a guy 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:22.399 named Goodwin Goodson. Yes, he Thompson's the safety drafted by 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.320 the Giants in the third round a couple of years 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:27.600 ago out of Boise State. Um, I don't know as 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:32.600 much about good Goodwin for like, some names just you 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.039 can't keep, you know what I mean. Like, I'm struggling 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.160 with this guy, but I'm not one hundred percent sure 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:38.920 he's here yet. It might not be official, but he's 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.680 expected to be here. Sounds like some some roster churning 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:46.080 in the defensive backfield. Ibraheim Campbell's out. He was mainly 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.840 a special teamer anyway. Thompson has started sixteen games. At 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.240 one point in his career, honestly, kind of seemed like 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.240 he had a role in New York's defense for a 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.560 minute and then he just fell off and he was 0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:00.320 on Arizona's practice squads. So, um, you know, I don't 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.200 know that he's gonna push for a starting job, but 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.480 that is coming from Boise State. I don't know much 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.919 about it. All I know is that the guys coming 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.560 from over there turn out to be pretty okay. I mean, 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:17.080 you're not wrong. Scandrick was a great, great and maybe 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.360 not great. Scandrick was a pretty good corner for a 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:23.720 long time. DeMarcus Lawrence is arguably your best player. Tyrone 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:28.840 is a solid, versatile guy, and then Lvee Kellen Moore 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.560 did not win. I was waiting for that to come up. 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.519 I'm talking about defense. But there's also a bunch of 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:39.400 other guys I'm sure that played at Boise that are 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.280 not as good as these guys just mentioned. The vast 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:46.919 majority of the the vast majority of the Boise guys 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:48.880 that have come through here have been pretty good. Yeah, 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.560 and they Bols. Those are guys that they drafted and 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:55.280 they were pretty good. Right now, Darry and Thompson might 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.320 I don't know. I doubt. I wouldn't expect him to 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.280 do a whole lot, but he's out here. What's funny 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.639 is that you say, well, he was a third round pick, 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:04.720 and like, oh, third round pick, and then so Chatz 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:09.160 Green that happened, no doubt. But you can do that 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.520 too all across the draft. Rood done those first rounders, 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:15.920 second round, third rounders, whatever. The great, the Great Darius 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.200 Jackson has replaced Bow on the practice squad. Didn't even 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.240 realize he was cut by being back. Yeah, damn right, 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:25.720 my guys back love him getting off the bus. Thing 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:29.400 just didn't really play, you know. I mean, it's nice Scarborough, 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.200 it looks good, but there was no there's no role 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.440 for him. I guess, all right, well the guys our 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:39.720 black had practice. Now Cheeto he was. I guess wild 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:41.800 quarter was that when he was taken out of the 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:47.040 games third or fourth halftime, halftime he didn't come back 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.520 in the game. He was struggling with an ankle injury. 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:54.280 But he was at practice today. Now another big question 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.680 mark is still David Irving, who is still out. He 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.520 wasn't seeing out there today at least the portion that 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.600 we get to see, and Jason Garrett did mention that 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:07.920 he was expected to practice this week. Now again, do 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.680 we just go back to taking it day by the 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:15.280 Garrett's famous quote and just seeing what actually happens with Earl. 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.120 I think with David, when you see him and you 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:19.800 see him on the field and you see him playing 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:21.760 the game, then you're like, you know what, I think 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.880 he's gonna play. But he'd had to run out on 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:27.320 the field, not just not just national anthem, Like he's 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.800 got to get on the field in the game about 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.440 to snap it, and you're like, he is going to play. Yeah, 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.360 that's it. I need to see him in a uniform 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.919 doing stuff on a game day Before I worry about it, 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:39.800 he might take it away. Further, I need to see 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:41.840 him on the field about to snap it. He was 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.320 supposed to be here yesterday, he wasn't here. He's supposed 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.240 to be here today, he's not here. Garrett hopes he'll 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.120 be here tomorrow. They were confident as of last Friday 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:50.880 that he was going to play in the game that Sunday. 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:54.000 I mean, I think that he's got there's a lot 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.040 of stuff going on right now. It sounds like he's 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.040 got to clean up his life. And that's been the 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.120 story with him for a while now. But and Jason 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.280 Garrett said today is the same personal matter he was 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:07.440 dealing with last week. He talked about it in the summer. 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.320 He's just he had a lot of stuff going on 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.640 in his life. You know, over the last six to 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:14.919 eight months, you're suspending for four games. He didn't do 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:18.960 anything at training camp, so basically, you know, he was 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:23.560 not with the team for about eight weeks. Figure it out. 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.680 I know that's easier said than done. It is, and 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.120 I don't know, but I mean, this is your profession, 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:31.840 and this you have a very small window in your 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.000 life where you can make two point six million dollars 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.839 more more, and you need to figure it out. You 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.279 have people that are counting on you, and I'm sorry, 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.480 I know there's a lot going on, but money solves 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:43.240 a lot of issues, and so you can be able 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:46.280 to help certain things. You have eight weeks. I'm not 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.800 trying to to you know, overstate this. I'm not trying 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:51.919 to say, well, that's not a big deal. There's a 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.360 lot of big deals going on. But I'm just saying 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.839 I think if being gone for eight weeks, I think 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.000 you can get a handle of it and come back. 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.480 I can play you knew this day was coming. I 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:06.040 just I get what you're saying that until I guess, 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.440 until and unless I hear more about his story, I'm 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.520 unwilling to go completely there. I get your right because 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.719 as a as an adult, your responsibility is to provide 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:17.480 for your family, and sometimes you have to figure out 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.080 how to do how to handle your personal business, which 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:21.480 we all have things that come up in our life. 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.159 You have to figure out how to manage all those 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.400 things and at the same time do whatever you do 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:27.280 in order to bring money in for your family or 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.640 whatever your responsibility or role is within your family. But 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.720 the only part that that I still get a little 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:35.839 bit that I've slowed down a little bit on is 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.400 I don't know the situation. And if there is legitimately 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.840 a situation that's going on where you know it requires 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.279 him to be there. And let's say you have kids, 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.520 they'll say it involves his kids and he's got to 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.320 be there in order to take care of the situation. 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:52.880 I know, if it's me, I got to handle my kids. 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:54.680 My kids are the top priority. They're going to be 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.160 a higher priority than my job. I know that's bad 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.320 to say, but if it comes to it and I 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:00.920 have to make it decision and I have to be 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.280 at one or the other, I have to go and 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:05.200 take care of what needs to be taken care of them. 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.920 So again, I don't know what the situation is, but 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.240 I just I pause a little bit at going too 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:12.760 hard to him on that. You're right, though, at some 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:14.560 point he's got to figure it out, because if it 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:18.320 keeps happening like this, eventually your employer says, hey, man, 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.040 I just can't deal with the variability here and then 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.280 you and then now you got two problems. Now you 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.080 don't just have one problem, you got two problems, then 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.360 you would think the communications, the communication between him and 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.200 the Cowboys would be better than that, because why is 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.960 Jason Garrett or even Jerry Jones standing up during in 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.480 front of cameras and basically saying, Oh, we'll have him 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.080 for the game or oh he's gonna be here for practice. Well, 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.880 but maybe maybe the situation didn't happen until Saturday. Maybe 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.600 the situation that kept him back didn't come up in 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.360 the way that it came up that forced him not 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.200 to go, didn't come up till Saturday. All I'm saying is, 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.480 we don't know that. I think I just I feel 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.520 a little bit hesitant on killing the guy when you 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:55.280 don't know what the situation is. And then you come 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.960 back later and you find out the real situation, you're like, oh, wow, 0:07:58.000 --> 0:07:59.880 I feel bad about that, you know, I just I 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:01.880 don't know until I would know more about that, I 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.400 just I would be a little cautious, little cautious. Okay 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.800 for her to say, well, that's fine, you'd be cautious 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:09.680 with that, but when you you know, when do you 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:13.320 cut ties? That's a Jerry call. That's a Jerry Stephen 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:17.040 will Jason Garrett call. Those guys will have to figure 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.800 out at what point they feel like they're no longer 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.280 willing to deal with whatever he's dealing with personally as 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.880 an organization, because right now what he's dealing with personally 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.280 is affecting the organization. At some point they're gonna have 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.080 to make a decision on that. The one thing I 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.640 know about Jerry in watching him all these years, is 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.200 he is one of those guys that tends to help 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.160 his players as much as he possibly can, and is 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.400 willing to even even to the detriment of himself, where 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:42.720 his organization is willing to be there for his players 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:46.760 when they're having tough times. So I wouldn't think that 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.240 that time's coming anytime soon. But I don't know they'll 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.040 have to make that decision. Well, you know they put 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:56.600 him on the roster. I think there's something else going on. 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.480 If they put him on the roster and he's not 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:03.760 gonna pull you know that he obviously gets paid for 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.320 that week, So I think that might be something that's 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.840 being involved here is trying to help him out from 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:13.680 that standpoint maybe, And even so, if he was here, 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:17.000 you let's say he comes tomorrow and does something you 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:21.240 wouldn't expect him to be playing this weekend. Just depends 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.079 Jason Garrett. I mean, he hasn't had anything. I mean, 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.360 if you're throwing him out there for ten to fifteen snaps, 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:30.560 maybe they think he can do that. Right, there's a 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.920 point in the week. Jason Garrett said this today. There's 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:34.240 a point in the week where you have to make 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:35.920 that call. And we talk about it all the time. 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.320 It's usually Friday. So if he's here tomorrow and Friday 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.679 and can handle the workload, hell yeah, I'll play him. 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:46.880 I mean, not sixty snaps, but something. But let's see, 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.280 he's got to get here first. See, at this point 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:53.480 in the game, you know he's already like nothing changes 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.400 for him, you know, Irving. I mean, he's getting paid. 0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:00.920 He's getting paid because he's on the roster, So not 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.360 playing or playing or whatever doesn't really matter to him, 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:05.880 you know. I mean, I don't well I don't know 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.040 if it doesn't matter to him, but he's getting paid. 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.200 Either way, he's getting paid. The Cowboys haven't really no 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:12.720 leverage there. He either helps him or he doesn't, but 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.640 the paycheck the next week will be exactly the same, 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.840 whether he comes back to Irving, I mean to Frisco 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:22.800 or whatever and plays or not. Yeah, but that's I 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:26.160 assume he's smart enough to know no, no, no, no, oh, 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:31.200 go ahead, he's a he's weird. He's not dumb, David 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:35.400 Irving is No, he's not dumb. He's eccentric, he's not stupid. Sorry, 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:37.439 go ahead. Smart enough to know what He's smart enough 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.720 to know that if he wants the money to keep coming, 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:41.640 he needs to get to work at some point, and 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:45.600 especially point in future weeks and also in the future 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.640 he's on a one year deal. But that's what also 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.480 tells me that maybe that maybe this thing is a lot, 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.400 whatever he's dealing with personally is a lot bigger than 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.559 we know. And it's a situation where again maybe the 0:10:56.679 --> 0:11:00.320 organization in knowing that thing, as said, if you need 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.040 to go handle that, go handle that. Yeah, you know 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.480 what I'm saying. I mean, okay, let's say he's done. 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:06.679 I don't think he's a dumb guy. No he's not. 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:08.920 I'm just saying he's gonna go back and forth, back 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:10.720 and forth on this. He could do that. He could 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.320 play one game, two game, whatever. He could just play 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:17.400 one game in week seventeen of the season, three sacks, 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.680 two forced fumbles. He's a free agent. He's gonna get paid, 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:24.120 Like he's about that. Yeah, he's gonna get You don't 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.840 think I don't think he'll get paid if he doesn't 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:30.560 like put together a resume of reliability and production to 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.400 a point where a team wants to take that on. No, 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.320 if that's the only game he plays and he gets 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.640 three sacks, like somebody will hire him, it's not gonna 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:38.800 be anything worth getting excited about. Right, But he's not 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.319 gonna get a deal. He's not gonna get a pay 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:45.160 day if he plays one game after coming back in weekend. Again, honestly, honestly, 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.640 I think at this point him coming If he came 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.120 back now and came back this week and played through 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.400 the rest of this year, and let's say he ended 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.920 up with six sacks, that's a good number of sacks 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.240 for those number of games, I still don't think he 0:11:58.240 --> 0:11:59.880 get along and gets a long term deal. I think 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:01.679 somebody would be willing to give him one turn, one 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:03.720 year deal because I think teams are gonna look at 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:05.840 it and say, yeah, he's a good player, but can't 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:07.880 we rely on him. And that's been his issue from 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:10.280 the beginning is is he reliable enough. He's been suspended 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.600 a couple of times. He's had issues where he can't 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.200 be there for whatever reason. So he's had injuries. Like, 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.640 there's a lot of stuff there that says I don't 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.160 know if I can rely on him. So I think 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.360 teams would be willing to give him a deal that 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.640 gives them a little peak. I don't think there're gonna 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:25.960 be a lot of teams willing to give him a 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.480 long term deal. All right, let's take our first break 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.080 and when we come back, we're gonna jump right into 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.440 the Jags offense and see how that matches up against 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.160 the Cowboys defense. If you're like me and you love 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.959 I mean, if you have a heart thing, then cutting 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:42.559 the court is scary. But then I found out I 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:44.400 could switch to direct TV now and still get the 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.960 live sports I love.

That's 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:13.200 why the Cowboys rely on more than stabs and scouting 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.360 reports when building their team. When picking a tractor, it's 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.120 why you should rely on more than specs and features 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:20.960 as well. You got to take it out and put 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.480 it to the test the Cowboys did when they named 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:27.280 John Deer their official tractor.

Back to 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:41.560 the Break. Welcome back to the second segment of Cowboy's Break. Now, 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:43.800 there are a lot of bad teams around the league, 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.720 but Jacksonville isn't necessarily one of them. Right now, they 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:51.480 hold the number one defense in the whole NFL. But 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:54.320 we will get into that tomorrow, which is going to 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:58.800 be pretty painful, and but for today, listen, stay on 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.720 the offense side. The team is currently three and two. 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:06.200 They are coming off with a loss against Kansas City 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:11.400 thirty fourteen. So let's start off with their quarterback, Dave. 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.080 Tell me about him. What are some of the things 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:19.640 that this defense can possibly do against him and stop him? 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:24.720 You guys know about Blake Bortles. Um, Yeah, this, I mean, 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:29.920 it's funny. This offense in the grand scheme of things. No, 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:33.280 not in the grand scheme of things, like they're it's 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.080 they're weird, like they're they're not bad. Like let me, 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.280 I thought you're gonna say bad. I didn't expect to 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:40.400 say weird. You sit here, you think like, oh, they 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:42.440 lost nine six to the Titans. Oh they lost thirty 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:44.400 to fourteen in the Chiefs, Like they can't move the ball. 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.080 That's not really true. This is the ninth overall offense 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:50.760 in the NFL. Uh, they're twelfth in passing, fifteenth and rushing. 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.840 They average three hundred passing yards. Where are they in scoring? 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:57.560 They are awful at touring. So I hate the status. 0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.680 I know. I know that I'm not saying move to football, 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:01.480 but I'm just saying, yeah, I'm just saying that. That's 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.280 to me, that's the overrated status. When you start talking 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:06.680 about yards on offense or defense, tell me how much 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:08.800 are you scoring? Because that really is an indication of 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:14.120 your offense or your defense, like twenty points, twenty thirty, four, 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.520 thirty something. Again, they're scoring points, so don't tell me 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:21.200 they're offul are they They're they're twenty six and so yeah, 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:24.160 they're not down there. I disagree. No, I'm talking about 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.560 every game that they've played so far. That's that is. Yeah, 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.120 that's internal. But it's still more than what the Cowboys 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:34.560 are making, so it's not far off. They're about the 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:38.320 same scoring I think, Yeah, yeah, Cowboys are averaging nineteen something, 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.760 they're sixteen something. I mean the Cowboys are terrible, ye, 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:44.960 but I think this team's probably this is my point, 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:46.920 and I hear you like, yards don't matter at the 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:49.840 end of the day. But like you see, you think 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.000 of Blake Borrels, you think about the fact that they're 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:54.000 losing games nine to six, You're like, oh, they can't 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.520 move the ball. They can definitely move the football, they 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:58.840 just haven't figured out how to punch it in, whereas 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.200 the Cowboys can't do anything. I mean, the Cowboys are what, 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.080 they're twenty sixth in total offense, Like they cannot throw 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.160 the ball. They're not averaging two hundred yards per game. 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:10.520 The Jags are there, they can do that. So it 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:12.720 just scares me to think that, yeah, they're not clicking 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:14.520 in the red zone, but they have the pieces that 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:17.159 they can or at least it looks like it anyway 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.600 getting it. But Blake Bortles is Blake Bortles. Like you know, 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.320 they got to the a FC title game. He sort 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:26.280 of elevated his game, like he he definitely is capable 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:28.679 of playing a great game. Yeah, one great game earlier 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:33.080 this year. He no, yeah, he lit up them. He 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.040 lit up the Pats. He played great against the Pats, 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:38.639 and he's played adequately in four of the five games. 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:41.359 And then he just chunked up a stinker of all 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:45.120 stinkers against the Chiefs. He threw five picks. Uh, these 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:47.080 are their red zone trips. You know, you talk about 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.640 the Cowboys played this inspired defense in the red zone 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:52.760 against the Texans. The Jags just fell apart. I mean 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:54.800 they went to the red zone five times. They turned 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:58.040 it over on downs. Bortles threw a pick, then he 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.240 threw a touchdown, then they turned it over on ounds, 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:03.400 then he threw another pick. This he threw a football 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.040 into the back of Aligneman's helmet and it ricocheted and 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:09.440 was intercepted. He also threw an interception from the from 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:12.880 the Chiefs twenty two, which is not a red zone turnover, 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:14.639 but it might as well be. I mean, like he 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.919 played so that play where the Chiefs returner was like 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:21.359 not going down, Like yes, yeah, it was one of 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:23.280 the best. Yeah. He took it all the way out 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:25.679 to midfield, like these guys never get the ball and 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:28.560 they're like, I'm not giving it up. Like put him 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:30.840 on offense. I thought it might have been Trevarious Ward, 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:37.280 but it wasn't him. Stand there's some interesting similarities I 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:42.080 think here between these two offenses. Your quarterback has potential. 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:45.920 I think he's athletic. Blake Bortles is. You don't think 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:47.920 of him as being an athletic guy, at least I 0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:51.600 didn't until I watched him. But why because he's tall 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.439 and white, Like he looks I mean, he's he's he's 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:56.119 he looks like a statue when he stands back in 0:18:56.119 --> 0:19:01.080 the pocket. Seller here that there's something. I mean, I 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:04.800 know I didn't say that you could. I don't think 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.240 of Blake Bortles as being this athletic quarterback. I just 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:10.399 don't but whatever. But he can escape pressure and he 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.040 has had at least twenty seven rushing yards in every game. 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:16.960 They've had um longs of twenty one, twenty three, and 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:20.520 forty one like he'll wait, he'll hurt you. Forty one 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.639 yard run, yes again two. I believe that one was 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:28.520 in the opener against UMIs Group. No, that was the Pats. 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:32.280 He did it again. Who'd they open with? I don't remember, 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:38.600 but he's gone from the No. One yard run. It 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:41.280 doesn't matter who. But I mean, some of them are 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:43.320 some of them are designed, some of them are scrambles. 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:45.120 But he's had a run like that in damn near 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:49.240 every game they've played. Um Alex Smith like kind of sneaky, 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:52.239
