WEBVTT - Cowboys Break: Zeke Or Gurley? 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:04.360 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:07.560 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for 0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:12.120 a break? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely ready 0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:16.040 for a break. Yeah, and so much for that. It's 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:22.000 time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com with 0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:28.600 Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Hello, guys, 0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:31.319 welcome back to the Cowboys Break. Sorry to scare you 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:34.040 Nick there. I was like, Eric, are you ready? We 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:37.120 are ready? He's not hosting. I am forget. It's gonna 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:39.400 be a lot of fun. Derek is having fun on 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:42.080 his phone over there. Dave looks ready to go with 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:47.080 his counting report for the La Rams offense, which we'll 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:49.360 get into later in the show. I wanted to start 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.159 right off the bat with the guys that were not 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.560 at practice, did not do anything, and the question marks 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:59.640 are still around Xavier Sophilo, Cole Beastley, Blake Jarwin and 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:04.280 even Austin. What do you guys know about these four guys? 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.960 Great so far, it's a great question question marks about 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:13.560 David Irvy No, No, the list is not then, yeah, 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:17.520 no question marks not today, yesterday. He was kind of okay, 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:19.840 go ahead. The list has grown a little bit. Um 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:24.160 Cole Beasley, Noah Brown, Blake Jarwin, Malik Collins all missed practice, 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:29.199 David irn Well Brown, Davi Sua Philo was out there. 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.000 I wonder how much he's going to participate though none 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:36.199 of these he dinged his ankle. All of these, well, 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.000 the only one I don't know the answer to is 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.639 Noah Brown. Every I mean, uh, Cole dinged his ankle, 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.199 Um Suaphilo obviously with the ankle, Malik with the ankle. 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.640 Jarwin all all ankles, a lot of ankles. So Jarwin, 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.320 did jar get hurt in the game, Yes, very near 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:56.720 the end. You know what you can blame um Courtney. Yeah, 0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:00.280 she want to tell everybody who Courtney is. Yeah, she's 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:04.960 in the one of our social social media. Um. She's 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.600 down the field and I think like she was trying 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:09.160 to move out of the way and Jarwin caught a 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.040 pass and he had to like, you know, kind of 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:12.640 his foot kind of role. He was trying to get 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:14.359 out of the way. So he was trying to a 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.840 boy hitting her and that's how I rolled his ankle. 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.359 I think. So it happened on the sideline and not 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:21.800 blaming her it's a pretty strong accusation. That is a 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:26.080 pretty strong accusation. Now what is that anyways, happened on 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.600 the sideline, but he played most of the game. I 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.360 mean yeah, but then again, I'm tired of doing that 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.440 because I've done that before he finished the game. He'll 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.040 be fine seven days. That didn't always happen. Out of 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.760 these who who's still the most concerning one as far 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.480 as the injury itself, So, Philo, until you get him back, 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.520 I would think, is still a concern that he can't 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:49.240 he come back? You know, I think, yeah, well from 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.240 I mean Malie Collins kind of need him, you do. 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.000 Against one of the best running backs in football, So 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.880 that's something to watch. Again. You know, it's it's Wednesday 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.120 in Cowboys world, so it's early, but that's definitely something 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:03.720 to watch. He was not out there. I'll say this 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.639 about Maleak. It was a game earlier this year that 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.640 Zack Martin left and had to come back and play, 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:13.959 but Collins did it as well. It was at Philadelphia. 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:15.519 Maybe it seemed like it was one of those road 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.200 games where the guy had to leave and he came 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.240 back and finished the game. Collins has done that too. 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.079 He has shown the ability to play with injury, so 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.480 I feel okay that he will come back. Beasley's kind 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.600 of concerning too, because he didn't look one hundred percent 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.560 running around those It's a reoccurring one, and you've got 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:36.200 Herns definitely out, So they're already they're already down receivers, 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.360 which they signed. Noah Brown is now part of the 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:42.720 active roster. Alan Hearns is uninjured reserve. And they say 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.920 that again, who's a part of the actor? I said, 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.440 Noah Brown did, Yeah, I'm sorry, I met Lanceloor is 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:53.280 on the active roster. Um they signed a kid I 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.560 already forgot his name. They signed a receiver to the 0:03:55.600 --> 0:04:02.360 practice squad in addition, um something Bradley Michael Michael Bradley. 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.680 He's a soccer player. I mean, the good thing there 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.920 is that you still got Cooper, he still got gallop. 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:10.320 Like those are your two I think most important wide receipts. 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.920 Not even close. Brandon Riley. I'm sorry he's on the 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.200 practice squad now. But but the part you have to 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.560 remember is that those guys aren't necessary the guys you 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.840 use in the slot. So you really are counting on 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.040 Beasley Tavon to be the guys that can can do 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.839 that for you, and and and even Hearns. Herns was 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:26.920 a guy that you could you could play in the 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:30.880 spot as well. So Lance, Lance, I know, next thing 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.839 I want to hear that. I mean, we'll see Lance. Yeah, 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.719 that's low key, low key, a pretty big deal. I 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.359 mean Beasley, you know, he finished the game. But the 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.400 next point, especially with what you got to do as 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.480 a slot receiver, bomb ankle is not a great injury 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.280 for that guy. So he makes his money off the 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:50.039 fact that he's quick and he can get in and 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:51.919 out of breaks quickly. It it's hard to do that 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.400 when your ankle's not right. As Lance scored a touchdown 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.960 this year, not in the regular season, preseason where um 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:02.760 la San Francisco, San Francisco, where already play his best ball. 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:09.240 Really nice catch too, brand Camp. Yeah, it's yes, Hallie. 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.200 If that's the crazy thing though, like we talked about yesterday, 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.839 some of those guys that are good at practice and 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.440 it just kind of doesn't reflect into the season the 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.240 regular season. He's one of those guys who has been 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.839 really good with Dad during the off season and just 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:27.280 doesn't really translate. If Beasley can't go Lancenor's got the 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.400 next best skill set for what you want him to do. 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:34.680 Probably what guy? Yeah, all right, well, Derek's face kind 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.560 of says a lot right there, but I'm not gonna 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:39.680 say it. Can't should have done it? Close up on here, 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.120 let's go. All right, it's week nineteen. Well, a lot 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.320 of talks going back to call here we go, A 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.960 lot of talks about Dak Prescott and this has been 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:54.040 an ongoing theme um for him this year, questions surrounding him, 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.720 And I just wanted to bring up this whole comment 0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:01.760 that Troy Aikman had on the ticket saying in regards 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.320 to Dak, he said he texted Dak and saying first 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.000 postseason when of many, and then he went on to 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.000 saying that he really believes that Dak is going to 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:14.040 be the Cowboys quarterback for a long time and he's 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.880 going to find himself winning a lot of football games 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.240 in January going forward. So I wanted to get your 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:24.800 thoughts and reactions to what this type of common means 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:30.960 coming from someone like in January. Yes, yes, okay, um wow, 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:35.599 My eyebrows perked up when I read that. Yes, absolutely good. 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.000 When I read that, though, I mean I kind of 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:42.200 sometimes I take those things in January this year, Yeah, 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.800 I kind of, I kind of kind I kind of 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:49.520 take those things as that's just what giants came with 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:54.720 December thirtieth dance. Sorry, right first your bubble. Yeah, No, 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:56.920 I think I kind of take those things as that's 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.400 what you say as the Cowboys former quarterback. I would 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.920 expect Roger would say the same thing again, especially as 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.160 long as once you see the writing on the wall 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.440 that this is a quarterback. Whether he's great or good 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.480 doesn't matter. If he's in that range, then you kind 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.400 of give him that pad on the back dead. Okay, 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.760 the mantle is now yours, young man, go do with 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:17.480 it what you I mean, we heard the same thing 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.840 once Romo kind of got into that that area where 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.640 then they started being like, Okay, Romo, this is your thing. 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.440 We think you're gonna be good. Go be great. Right. 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.040 So I just that doesn't surprise me. I surprise me 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:31.840 at all. I disagree because I think two different things. One, 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.160 all the respect in the world for Rogers Stabach, but 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:37.680 I mean, like he's he's I think of him as 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:41.760 like the fatherly figure of these current Cowboys players. Yeah, 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:45.040 he's he's not in the media, he's retired, he's he's 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.240 so far making money. He's printing money, printing money. Yeah, 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.920 good for him. Yeah, he's but he's so far removed 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.480 that he's like, I don't really have a stake in 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:55.480 this other than I want the Cowboys to do well 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.680 and I support I mean, he was very supportive of Romo. 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.640 Obviously he's going to be supportive of Dak. And then 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:04.800 there's Michael Irvin, another guy who's like, he's just he's 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.640 the team cheerleader. He's on like he's just he's Cowboys. 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:09.920 He's the team cheerleader. And that's good too, and I 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.640 like it. Troy Aikman is somewhere in the middle, Like 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.760 he obviously has he's has a stake in the Cowboys. 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:19.080 He's invested in their success. He's also a prominent member 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.400 of the media. And if you've ever listened to him, 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:25.720 I think he takes his impartiality and his objectivity and 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.760 be and doing his homework seriously. So I think that 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.400 means more coming from him, because I don't think he 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.920 would more than it would from some of those other guys. Yeah, 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.120 but I do think that he still is at it 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.000 at the core. And again this was on local radio. 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:43.080 I think here in Dallas, right, I think he still 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.760 does though you know he he has I think he 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.000 still has a vested interest in this team doing well. 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:50.520 And I think he sees a riding on the wall 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.640 that this is a good quarterback. Who knows if he'll 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.160 be great, but he's a good quarterback and so but 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.559 that's kind of my point is saying that he's gonna 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.880 win many games in Jailanuary means he's going to be great. 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:03.880 You don't win a lot of playoff games if you're 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.319 not great. And so for Troy to say it, I mean, 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.480 do you call what do you call the guy that 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.000 came right before Troy great? He won a whole bunch 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:17.480 in January? What Danny White? Oh I thought I said before. 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:22.199 I'm saying in this franchise, winning in January doesn't always 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.080 mean great. It means you're pretty good. If you're not 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:28.720 winning in late January early February, that's when you become 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:32.920 great in this franchise as a quarterback, you're splitting hairs 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:36.120 many wins in January. No, I don't want, definitely don't 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.800 want to go down to Danny White debate Danny White 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:41.840 wasn't great. Danny White was exactly that's exactly right. But 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.240 it's a different era now. I mean Danny White was 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.040 hand you know, handed over a pretty good football team 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.760 with no salary cap and just go right that that 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.280 he didn't elevate the franchise. So I don't ever say 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:56.240 that he was better than Romo. Ever, Um, I agree 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.280 with Dave, you know, and I was going to kind 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.280 of mention that part about them aman where he falls 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.720 in the stallback and Michael Irvan and you know, Dion 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.160 and him, and where everybody just goes in different spots. 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.880 Irvan's on a different stratosphere. But but I agree. I mean, 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.440 when aateman says that, you know, aateman knows he's going 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:15.120 to be the quarterback for the future here. And when 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.240 you're doing that, you're gonna win some games. What's many? 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.440 I don't I don't know, but I mean you can win. 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.160 He can win two more, I guess in January this year. 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:24.640 I mean, I'll say this if you know what it 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.120 would have raised my brows for you to say it's 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.280 something like I think this guy's guy would have takes 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:30.360 to win a Super Bowl. Now, that raises by brows. 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.360 I'm like, okay, but when you say he's gonna win 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.960 mini games in January, I don't know what that really means. 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.080 Like just remember still just hearing it from ache Man, 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.719 it's like some type of okay reassurance in you or 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.400 like it makes you feel a tiny bit better, does 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:47.000 a tiny bit okay, But just remember where we are 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:50.160 on not everyone is even convinced right now that he 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.680 is the quarterback of the future. So who wouldn't be 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:55.920 convinced at this point? Check your mentions? No, no, no no, no, no, 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.520 I'm talking about makes calls. You know. I'm saying who 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.240 wouldn't be convinced because he's basically said as much. So 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:04.000 it doesn't matter not We're not talking about like the 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.040 reality situation. We're talking about in people's minds. Yeah. So 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:10.040 I'm just saying that there's a lot of people not 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.640 convinced daksh should be the quarterback of this team. And 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.400 Troy Aikman, the guy that has won more Super Bowls 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:19.439 than any other quarterback in franchise history, is saying that 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.360 he believes not only will he be the quarterback for 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.480 a long time, but he's going to be successful in 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.680 winning games in the playoffs. I think that's something to 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.920 be said for that. Also, which we're this is semantics 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:31.880 and I don't care, but having that a headline on 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:35.560 our on our website, we're talking if you're going to 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:39.040 win many games in January. You can only play three 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.079 in January at a given time. So if you're winning many, 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:46.400 that's over years though. Okay, even still in that first round. 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.439 If you're winning, if you've got more than like five 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.719 career wins in January, it means you've probably played in 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.080 a couple of NFC title games and a Super Bowl 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.800 or two. Yeah, I mean Aaron Rodgers on Aaron Rodgers 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.480 only has nine playoff wins. Honestly on a I think 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:02.440 we're just kind of like, I'm not saying that it's 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.679 not relevant that he says it. My whole point is 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:07.840 just it didn't shock me, Like to me, you're usually 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:11.120 the optimist one. No, I'm saying over here, No, I 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.320 think y'all, miss, I'm not saying that that. I'm just 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:15.480 saying it doesn't shock me that he says that, And 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:17.959 I don't necessarily get any solace out of him saying it, 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.800 because again, I would expect that what I've seen so far, 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:24.559 I would expect that Dak Prescott's going to be the 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:26.800 number one the quarterback here for a long time and 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.240 number two that he's going to have some success in January. 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:32.559 How much success, that's the golden question. Because if he's 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:36.480 winning Wildcard weekend, you know, five times, four times in 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:38.719 his career, but never gets beyond that, that's gonna be 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:42.440 a failure in this franchise. So you know, and I 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:45.439 thought it was a firm statement when he didn't need 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:50.120 to say something that firm that's all. It's a failure. Yeah. No, 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.160 I think in this franchise he will be that will 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:54.959 be looked at like Tony Romo. People look at him 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.720 as a really good quarterback, but you talk to fans, 0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:59.920 and fans still think that when it comes down to 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.839 would he'd never won enough for them to put him 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.920 in the category of being a great quarterback here. Right. Yeah, 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:07.920 I guess the word failure is a little strong. I 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:09.880 mean because to me, a guy that just kind of 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:12.920 wins in the NFC, I mean wins the wildcard maybe 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:16.520 divisional round division because we still haven't we still have 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:18.679 any right Well, I mean, I'm basically what I'm trying 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.199 to say, is that, like, you know, it's Philip Rivers, 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:23.040 a Hall of Fame quarterback, and I don't know. I mean, 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.320 that's kind of what his whole career. That's a tough thing. Yeah, 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:26.840 but it's a tough thing to do. I get the 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:31.800 Chargers in the Cowboys on way different levels on expectations. Yeah, 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:34.360 maybe they shouldn't be, but you know, but the thing 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.840 is that it takes about what's happened so far. Yeah, 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:39.840 but but fans there are expectations are based off of 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.840 what they remember righting up, and that's not the reality 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.720 that that it is right now. I mean, you know, 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.480 whether the Cowboys have three playoff wins in nine years, 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.760 I don't even know where that would rank in in 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.480 all the teams. I would say maybe in the middle. 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.480 Probably in the middle, I would guess, you know, because 0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:59.080 you got some teams that are going to get three 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.360 in January, you know what I mean, New England gets 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:07.600 three a year. Sometimes it's probably mid too, Like I 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.480 would put it probably in the low seven, low twenties. 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:12.840 I was gonna say, like about the eighteen nineteen, somewhere 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:17.439 between seventeen and twenty two. I bet the last ten years. Yeah, 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:19.560 how many playoffs win? I mean just off the top, 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:22.440 I mean like New England comes to mind, Seattle comes. 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.400 Anybody makes the playoffs is getting three? I mean, I 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.880 mean makes the Super Bowls. That's three, just in at you. 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:31.120 They made earlier too, Yeah, at least two.

We have some fun conversations. 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:22.240 I just want to talk about that I want to 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:23.840 talk about that. I don't want to talk about I 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.639 really want to talk about No, I don't, I don't. 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:30.560 All right, go ahead, number two, Okay, getting back into 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.600 Brett Maher. Yeah, we're gonna talk about them. Yeah, go 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:38.160 all right, La Rams. The Cowboys are facing them this weekend. 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:43.400 That team right there finished the season thirteen and three, 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:47.280 first in the NFC West. They are coming off a 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:51.359 bye week, and now the Cowboys have to face them 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.359 true their home, which is Cowboys to say my home 0:17:54.440 --> 0:18:00.520 as well, yeah, I'll allow it. What it is, my home. 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:04.880 Cowboys show up, all right, So now we're gonna ask, 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.199 we'll see, let's figure out what they got on the 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:10.760 offense and how the Cowboys can possibly attack them. I 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:13.840 just think it's a this is a fun This is 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:17.800 gonna be a fun little experiment between riding the wave 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:19.800 and just being good because I think, you know, the 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.000 Rams are objectively one of the two or three best 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.359 teams in the league. They finished thirteen and three, but 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:26.240 they went two and two over the final month of 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.560 the season, so and they got a week off, you know, 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.600 like it reminds me of twenty sixteen with the Cowboys, Like, 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:35.480 oh we don't have any momentum all that stuff. Wait 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:38.760 huh was that Wait? No, okay, that was way It 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:42.879 sounded like, waituh, you will be well surprise. But uh 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:45.120 but I mean, you know, how's that? You know, Cowboys 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:47.760 have been playing playoff games basically for six weeks. You've 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:51.159 heard all those cliches, So who's gonna be hotter? And 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:56.720 I'm curious because this is a really really really good offense. Um, 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:02.159 But they're not. They're not doing anything recently that scares 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.880 the Bejesus out of me. Now They're not well, they're 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.080 they're not. They went two and two, They had two 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:09.960 really ugly losses to Philly in Chicago. They bounced back 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:12.800 with two big wins against Arizona and San Francisco, who 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:15.560 are among the worst teams in the lat Those teams 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:21.440 yet Todd Gurley hasn't played since December sixteenth, was an issue? Yeah, yeah, 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:23.960 And I mean Sean McVay expects him to play, But like, 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:26.199 that's it's certainly something you got to think about. They 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:28.240 asked Jason Garrett about that in the press conference today. 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:30.280 Is you know, hasn't played in a month? Does that matter? 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:33.800 Garrett wrote it off, But I think it probably does, 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:37.240 maybe a little bit. Um so. I mean, gosh, the 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:39.639 Rams have been the story of the season. Their second 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.680 in the league in offense, their fifth in passing yards, 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:45.720 their third in rushing yards, their second in scoring. You 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:49.040 name it, they do it. Gurley is probably gonna win 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:50.840 Offensive Player of the Year if I had to guess, 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:57.080 He's got what twenty one touchdowns total, seventeen rushing. Um 0:19:57.280 --> 0:19:59.400 A guy in Kansas City that might say, whoa, whoa, 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:07.160 that's he might. He might win MVP. He might. But 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:11.560 I agree, now you're right, Freeze might get the sympathy 0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:15.080 vote there. We will see he hasn't deserved it. Eat. 0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:18.159 It really annoys me that we won't know until February fifth, 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:24.359 but it's a different conversation. Um So, Yeah, obviously this 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:26.879 offense is awesome. Sean McVeigh gets all the credit in 0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:31.320 the world. Uh, everything flows through Todd Gurley. In my opinion, 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:34.720 this team leads the league in play action percentage. They 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:38.119 play fake on thirty five percent of their snaps. I 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:40.280 think that's a big part of why Jared Goff has 0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:43.520 been so much better since Sean mcvayh took over. Uh, 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.680
