WEBVTT - Cowboys Break: Managing Expectations 0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:05.040 The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:05.080 --> 0:00:15.400 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Boys. Let's go. Are 0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:18.280 you ready for a break? Yes? Are you ready for 0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:23.440 a break? Absolutely ready for a break? Yeah, and so 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:27.320 much for that. It's time for the Break on Dallas 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:33.400 Cowboys dot Com with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:40.680 Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Welcome back to the Break guys. Uh, 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:43.280 Derek is not here today, so it's me hosting. We 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.279 got Dave, we got Nick, and we got a good 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.280 show coming our way. So how are you guys feeling? 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:51.879 What an intro? Just get right to the point. None 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:55.040 of that fluff and the weird numbers and stuff. I'll like, Derek, 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:57.760 catch up on the numbers. I love it. That's all right. 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:02.040 Eighty three Terrence Williams sweet feet. I needed to get 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:05.800 to eighty three though today. Eighty three Well, probably my 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.720 best friend that has ever played for the team. Like, like, 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.120 of all the guys that I've covered, I'm not really 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.360 friends with anyone except for one guy. Maybe a couple, 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:19.319 but um, James Whitlan, that's my guy. Okay, he's worn. 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.840 He's worn like six different numbers in his career, he 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:23.679 would kind of bounced around a little bit, but he 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.040 wore eighty three, and I was like, I'm kind of 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.000 I'm kind of running out of numbers here. I think 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.720 he wore eighty one, eighty two, thirty five, forty six, 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.280 but he wore eighty three. I actually talked to him 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:35.759 yesterday a little bit, so James Whitlan, that's my guy. 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.200 Eighty three. A lot of good ones though, Doug Donnelly, 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.959 you ever heard of him? No, No, I hate this 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.760 because like it just exposes me as a young person. 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:48.320 Terry Glenn, I was gonna say, feel if it exposes year, 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.160 I was gonna say, r r ip Terry Glenn. And 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.080 I didn't know he wore eighty three. He was a 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.000 good player. He was a really good player. I mean 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.880 he Bill Parcels brought him in and had a you know, 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.040 had a plan for him, and he was he was 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.040 a good player for for the Cowboys for a while. 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:09.079 There's a few like you know how when you're a kid, 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.639 like you watch football, but you're it's week like you're 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.240 not fully cognizant of what's happening. So maybe there's just 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.400 a few names that keep coming back to you and 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:19.560 Terry Glenn was one of those for me, just like 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.000 I just remember they would always call this. This was 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.800 more during his patriot years than his cowboy years. Another one, 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:31.760 she what's that she? When she Bill Parcels called him. 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:35.000 She Oh, no, I don't remember that. Yeah at yeah, 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.680 I'm young, he said. He said, yeah, well, I think 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.720 she's gonna be okay. And so Amani tumor was another 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:42.640 one of those for me where I just like, you know, 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:44.400 I just felt like he was always making plays for 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:46.640 the giants when I was a kid. M in the break, 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.120 I'm gonna tell you know, you always get on to 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.960 me about stories that I've told you know, and Dave's like, 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.200 heard this one, heard this one. I'm not as bad 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.000 as Brian. You've heard me say that before. I know 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.400 about me, no about me. But I'm saying, I don't 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:02.639 think have you heard the Armani Amni tumors story with 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:06.560 Bill parcel I don't remember that. I'm I do. It's 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.440 annoying because I'll be like, I don't think I've heard 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:10.079 that one, and then you get like five words into 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:11.600 the story and I'm like, oh, yeah, no I have, 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:17.119 but I'll tell you the break anyways, we's sorry three 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:22.480 all right, people see people seem to respond to Dayne mcgarrity, 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.919 good one. All right, Well, I have tons of different 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:29.519 questions for today's shows that pants just sent in for today, 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.840 But before we got to those, wanted to talk about 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:35.640 the games that are happening tonight. We got Washington against 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:39.760 the Eagles and then the Seahawks against the rams. Um 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.920 what different outcomes here could affect in what way could 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:47.760 affect the Cowboys? Well, the big ones obviously the division game, 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:52.640 which theoretically, theoretically the Cowboys could clinch the NFC East 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.800 tonight if Washington and Philly played to a tie, which 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.960 I get fifty dollars, I was gonna say it might 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:02.400 actually happen now because my smart ass Nick was like, hey, 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.320 do you think who's gonna write the stories. It's like 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.160 maybe you could get something together in case they somehow 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.360 win the division, and I was just like, that's not happening. 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.880 I'm not spending twenty minutes of my day writing that 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.200 for a tie. So now it probably will happen. So 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.760 we'll see. Well, if it gets into overtime, get your 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:21.719 computer out, that's fair. If it's gonna take it takes 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:26.440 what ten, you know, ten minutes, and it'll take probably thirty. Yeah. No, 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.360 that's if if it's even if it's tied like late 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:32.080 in the fourth, I'll get to work. How about that? Okay? Um, 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.039 that's that's the only way. There's been some other talk 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.920 that maybe the Cowboys would get in if Philly won, 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.240 but I don't think so. I think I think they 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.560 needed a few things to happen over the weekend and 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:46.440 it did not happen. They That's nobody agrees on this stuff. 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.040 Like I had a lot of people tell me the 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.200 whole segment we did about those games, a lot of 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.240 people were like, this was wrong. Dave ESPN said this, 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.520 and blah blah blah. I'm like, Derek got that information 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.479 straight from the league. League. So I don't think there's 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.760 any other way they can clench ten night other than 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:04.040 a tie. Obviously, they're one win away from clinching no 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.960 matter what happens, right, so they just keep winning. It's 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:08.920 almost kind of a move. The winner of this game 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:12.000 will be three games behind the Cowboys with three to play, 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.880 and still play the Cowboys. Yeah, so it doesn't matter 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.240 if you know which which one which one wins. Dallas's 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.040 magic number is one because nobody else in the NFC 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:25.000 East can get to eleven wins. Let's let's discuss this though. 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:29.120 What do you think the Cowboys have a better chance 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.960 of beating Washington if they win the game and they're 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.599 still kind of in it, or if they lose and 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.200 they're kind of out, Because I think Washington's the type 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:42.280 of team that might even be more dangerous if they're 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.480 just playing. They're just kind of out there playing, because 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.000 that's what they were when they were two and six, 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:48.880 you think, you don't think they handled the pressure well, 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:50.920 and then when they get to six and six, then 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.160 they got Comma, we've seen it happen. I don't I 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.479 remember if it was with Washington, but some other team. 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:57.760 I remember that they were out and then you go 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:01.080 to the game and they're actually playing a lot better 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.680 than they wear and like competing. Yeah, you know, so 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:07.080 it's not always like they still go out there and compete. 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:11.000 I think it for me, I mean, and I get it, 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.240 nobody cares. The Cowboys had to do this as well, 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.520 but like Washington's I can't even keep track of who's 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:19.320 available for them, Like, so they moved the game because 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.320 the number of guys that were out and now in 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.520 the time since they decided to move it, like Brandon Schurf, 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.120 all pro guard, one of their best players, like he 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.479 tests positive for COVID, so he can't play on Tuesday now, 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.600 would have been able to play Sunday. It's just it's 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.960 a mess. So like, honestly, my whole theory for this 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.840 game is like, talk to me Friday, when I've had 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.760 a few days to digest who's even available for Washington. 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.560 It's like, I don't know, do we know who's playing 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.440 quarterback for them tonight? It might be Garrett Gilbert, right, 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:51.880 it could be I think that they're they're still testing, 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.720 and again we don't. There's people that are listening that 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.440 are probably no, and then they'll be listening later on 0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.880 when they get announced. But I mean, as it stand 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:04.080 right now, heineke, No, Well, okay, this was an hour ago. 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.480 This is Tuesday, more afternoon for anybody listening to this later. 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:12.040 But so get signs point toward Garrett Gilbert's starting for 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:16.360 them against Philly. So and COVID protocols, like we've seen 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.880 guys come back quickly. Cedric Wilson did it for Dallas 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:22.080 last week, but it's typically been like eight to ten 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.840 days for people, So we don't know right now if 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:29.640 Heineke or um, who's the other guy? Um, yeah, Kyle Allen, 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:33.200 which will be available Sunday. Either. You know Garrett Gilbert, 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.360 I mean obviously was we've seen him at training camp. 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.840 The one thing that I liked about him, I mean, 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.360 we all saw what he did against Pittsburgh was that. 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.320 I mean, he was only here for like a couple 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.880 of weeks and he played. He played well. He was ready. 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.360 He's one of those those journeyman quarterbacks are going to 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:54.480 stay ready. He's got a good deep Ballum, you have 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.280 to get after him, though, I mean you kind of 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.640 you if you get after him. He's not he's not 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:00.880 that nimble, but I mean he did. I think he 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:02.640 did run the ball pretty well in that game. If 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.559 I remember so, he it was one of those things 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.640 where you're like, okay, I didn't know you had that 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:11.400 in yet. Expectations were like Danucci level, you know, he 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:15.120 was down there. My expectations for that game. I was 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:18.720 just like, is Dallas gonna score points? Are they gonna 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:22.160 put together a competent drive? And he played really well. 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:24.520 Be a war intent they should I'm I'm not gonna 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.720 go that far, but they had a chance to win. Well, 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:28.680 he did enough. He did a pick in the end zone. 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:30.080 I mean that would have put him up ten and 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.800 then oh fifty four or got a got a couple 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.480 of penalties that that cost them the game, or nine 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.839 or forty five or whatever. He ran, Yeah, he ran 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:40.800 for twenty eight yards in that game. We'll talk about 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:46.199 the victory formation. Oh god again, what's going on there? 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.040 The things that you miss at when you're at the game, 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.840 because like, you made it out onto the field, you 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:55.320 have that access. This six foot five guy with a 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.520 Jersey accent like bowed me off that. He was like, 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.240 you can't be out here. So like I'm in the 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:03.240 tunnel trying to watch on the on the JumboTron. I 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:07.240 did not see that. Jalen Smith did the landry shift 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.120 with the offensive line for the final snap of that game, 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.880 fifty four fifty four and I'm might wait a minute 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:20.320 completely okay, So in case people are kind of confused, 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:22.079 you've seen at the end of the game when the 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.480 Cowboys win, they do the landry shift just when they're 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.720 kneeling the ball down. They'll do it once or twice, 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:29.280 however many times they have to kneel it. Well. I 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.000 think it was the last time they did it with 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:35.360 about thirty seconds to go. The offensive line the two 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.000 running backs did it, but on the other side, Jalen 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:42.559 Smith number forty five, not only does the shift as well, 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:46.320 but then kind of fist pumps and he looked pretty pumped. 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:51.680 He was like like rocking out, like yes, and that's 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.880 just like the Giants are like, welcome, welcome to Jalen Smith. 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.199 I mean, that's what that is. And and then after 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.280 the game, it was really cool. A lot of the players, 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.439 I mean they they love him, and yeah, I thought 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.480 the best part was I got to see that one 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.720 of the team doctors, doctor Cooper, who did the surgery 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:11.120 with Jalen before he was even a Cowboys. So that's 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.880 what kind of tipped off the Cowboys that you know, 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.120 he's gonna be able to come back from this whatever. 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.720 And they they kind of shared a moment there on 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.280 the field. It was really cool. He was like, I 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.320 appreciate everything you did for me. I would not be 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.120 standing here if it wasn't for you, doctor Cooper, you know. 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.400 Was they kind of had a hug. Everything was great, 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:32.160 but there their guy, their cable whoever, they're the guy 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.720 that runs the Giants. At the end, was like, Jalen, 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.560 let's go off the field, Let's go who's the last guy? 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.440 And then he didn't know where the locker room was. 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:43.320 It's actually that's a good something that I've thought about 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:46.000 before for anybody that was curious. So Cable Johnson is 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:49.640 like the Cowboys head of security. And I only bring 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.440 that up because if you've ever watched the Cowboys after 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.840 a game, he's the big bearded guy that is always 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:59.439 walking players off the field. So if you've ever wanted 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.520 to know who that was, because I like when Dak 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.720 jogs off or he's everywhere, he's everywhere, Like he's always 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:06.640 with those guys, keeping an eye on them, making sure 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.960 they're good. And I mean every team has that guy. 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.480 So just saying I think Jalen in one game or 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.319 not even a week, he's probably annoyed some of their 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.160 fans and team teammates. I mean, welcome to the Jalen 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:21.680 Smith experience. Again, Like he is well liked here. He's 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.760 a good dude. Don't have anything bad to say about 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:27.560 him as a person, and that's totally understandable and fine 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:31.840 if he's happy for his teammates, just maybe don't do 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:35.319 it in the last couple snaps of a blowout loss 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.360 to a team that you just joined three days ago, 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.800 like you're not gonna win yourself. A lot of fans 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.600 I was. I was in the but knowing the situation, 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.760 as we said it when he got cut, like that's 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:48.880 what enabled him to come back from an injury that 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.120 everybody said would end his career, and it's also why 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.880 he regularly there. It is winds up in the news 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.679 for I was looking time I was on the elevator 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.199 headed down to the game, I mean headed to the 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.320 field at the end and listening to the in the 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:06.000 elevator you can hear the Giants broadcast and their announcers. 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.680 We're talking about Jalen and they said, what this guy 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:13.400 needs is some real coaching because he hasn't really had 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.760 that before. And I was like, interesting, you know, just 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.959 when you think about eber Flus and Marinelli and then 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:24.240 Dan Quinn, am I okay, yeah, George Edwards, Yeah, I 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:25.760 was just like I was just like uncle and he 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.360 goes because the thing about him is you got to 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:29.000 put him in the right spot because there's one thing 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:32.120 I know about Jalen Smith. This guy can flat out run. 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.520 And I was like sorry, I was like, I'm sorry, 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:38.440 I thought you said run Like I mean, okay, You're 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.680 just like yeah. I mean that's why people keep getting signed, 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:43.160 because you look at him and you're like, this guy 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.959 can play right. It's amazing. And we do it too. 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:47.960 I mean, I try my best to keep my tabs 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.760 on every team in the league, Like I pride myself 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:54.880 on having a functioning knowledge of every team, but it 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:58.959 pales in comparison to when you're just watching every single 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.080 thing that a team does. And I mean, if the 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:04.160 Cowboys signed I'm sure we've done that before. Like I'm 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.640 trying to think of like, oh yeah, just like, oh, 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.760 this guy was a tough fifty pick last year. Every 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:14.000 free agent last year. Yeah. Haklin Dicks is a great example. Yeah, 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:18.840 great example. And so they get to Gontarry Po, they 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.840 get to go through that process. There are tons of 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:25.160 players and we've talked about this before, how you always 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.160 think that your coach is going to be the one 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:30.160 who can coach this guy. And I feel, I mean, 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.640 we've experienced it we know, we're like, okay, go take 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:35.960 and we're done with this person. And then the other 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.160 coaching from whatever team can be like, well I can 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.360 I can do it. I can turn things around for him, 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.800 which I think that dan Quinn did try with him, 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.880 clearly he did try. And then we'll think about if 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.760 you're a Detroit or Minnesota in there, like the Cowboys 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.920 have signed j Ron Curs, good luck, good luck with 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:58.000 that special teams. And then I mean, the Pro Bowl 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:01.000 gets announced tomorrow. I don't know if he's gonna make it. 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:04.360 At safety, I kind of lean towards no. I leaned 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:07.240 toward no just and that's not his fault. That's it's 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:10.760 a popularity contest. But that being said, who are the 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:14.360 safeties in the NFC? To tell me that guy from 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:19.960 the Vikings Adrian Amos, Harrison Smith, U Savior Woods, I 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.920 don't think so. Now, well, we'll find out tomorrow, find 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:26.160 out tomorrow night, tomorrow. Now, so in the meantime, let's 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.680 go ahead and take our break because I do have 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.280 a lot of questions that people sent in that I 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:33.760 want to get to.

All right, welcome back to 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:11.080 the break. Okay, here's a question that I just saw. 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:13.560 I just saw just now, so I don't I didn't 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:16.879 get time to look into it and get much information. 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:20.040 But this guy says that after struggling in the first 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:24.040 half in twenty fourteen the playoffs where McCarthy played, he 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.520 McCarthy put a wide receiver in the backfield in the 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:31.720 second half to get mismatches and it worked. Should the 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:34.679 Cowboys are the same to allow the receiver free release 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:38.680 and more options, that would have been time Montgomery, Right, Yeah, 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.800 I would assume. So, I mean, we talked about this 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.879 last week, Like, I love the idea of getting Ceedee 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:47.800 Lamb involved in the run game, just to mix it 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:49.760 up and help the fact that your guys aren't healthy. 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:54.119 But I know, I don't want ceedee lamb like carrying 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.320 the ball out of the backfield on a regular basis, 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:59.800 opening him up to get hit somewhere between ten and 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.920 twenty times a game. He's also tackles. I think he's 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.880 also talking about in there, lining him up back there 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:09.560 to get him an opportunity to get a free release 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:14.240 and still run the ball some but also be in 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:16.639 the pass coverage, but just not have to do it 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:20.200 from the lane of scrimmage. I just don't think he's 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:22.879 the guy for that. I don't. I don't think he. 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:25.879 I think you're wasting him a little bit. Yeah, I mean, 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.639 do we need to scheme up ways to get CD 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:32.240 a free release? Like he plays in the slot predominantly 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.639 since gallops back and he's open. He's got. It's not 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:38.160 like he can'ah, he's not like he's struggling to get open. 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:41.159 He dropped the ball three times. I love it. I 0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:43.120 love it when a player lets me off the hook 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.280 because I don't want to bash guys. CD said it 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.720 himself he played terrible, so I don't have to be 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:49.560 the jerk that says it. He knows it. He played 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.840 a bad game. Well. I did receive lots of questions 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:56.640 about the whole white receiver groups also not only dropping passes, 0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:00.440 but also making plays in like contested catches where it's 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:04.120 just kind of hard to catch the ball. Also, what's 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:07.720 happening with Amari Cooper. He's disappearing and things like that. 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:11.400 So when you when the road games again, Oh, that's 0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:15.800 not nah, he hasn't been doing that though. That hasn't 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:17.560 been a thing in like a year and a half. Yeah, 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:20.560 I mean his best game of the year this season 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:23.320 was on the road Vikings. Yeah, I mean, it is 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:26.040 a dome, I get kind of he kind of took 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:27.680 a while to get going, I mean, and not a 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:29.600 lot of that was Cooper rush. But I'm just saying 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:32.080 it was that one drive at the end and then 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:35.680 he balled out made some great plays. This is this 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:40.880 is it's a classic case of like it's always it's 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:43.520 it's always the thing that they're not doing. Like when 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:47.000 everything's humming and the receivers are all balling out and 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:50.280 everybody's kind of getting involved, it's like, man, we're so 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:53.399 we're so blessed to have three receivers that aren't like 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:56.200 demanding the ball and these guys are always there. Whatever. 0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:58.320 Michael gallup doesn't need to get this, that, and the other. 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:01.160 And then you see a mar gets targeted five times, 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:03.480 finishes with two catches for eight yards, and you're like, 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:07.359 hell are we doing? I mean you gotta I mean 0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:08.760 you gotta find a way to get a guy that 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:12.560 talented involved, even if the opponent is doing everything they 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:15.440 can to limit him, which I bet you Kellen Moore 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:18.480 would say something along the lines of like, yeah, why 0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:21.040 do you think I'm calling receiver screens like it is 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:25.000 an obvious way, Like you can't take that away, Like 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:27.200 if that's what you decide to run, he'll be open 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:31.439 for it. And to be that's it's kind of amusing 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:33.240 to me. A lot of these screens haven't worked, and 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:36.879 sometimes it's frustrating. But like CD took a screen forty 0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:38.840 yards in New Orleans and set up one of their 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:41.880 only touchdowns that night. Amari got a screen. I think 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:44.399 it went for three yards. If he slips one more tackle, 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:47.920
