Speaker 1: Nick here to talk some cowboys and some more. A

11
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: little bit more O b J O A little bit. Yes,

12
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: we won't take the whole segment or anything like that,

13
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: but because some of the players did speak to the

14
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: media yesterday, it was brought up to them. You know,

15
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: you had Michael Parsons making comments, taking it to Twitter.

16
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: Even you had Ezekiel Elliott mentioning him as well. So

17
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: when you I wanted to ask you guys your opinion

18
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: on this, when you have players like those kind of

19
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: voicing their opinion and their want and you know, putting

20
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 1: it out there like we want him to come play

21
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: with us, come win game with us, and all that

22
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: what does that mean? I mean, how are you interpreting

23
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: this kind of comments? I think I think their desire

24
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: and want for this guy to join their team is

25
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: obviously way greater than any kind of hurt feelings that

26
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: might happen with a wide receiver here or here or here.

27
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: That you're basically saying, we need to get better and

28
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: this guy can help us, and if it hurts your feeling, sorry,

29
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: get open. I mean that's basically kind of yeah, no

30
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: I And today you're going to it Ceedee Lamb, which

31
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: will be interesting, and you're gonna get Dak to talk

32
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: as well. And now it's every day there seems like

33
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: a different level of recruitment going on. And I even

34
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: wore my LSU shirt today to recruit Odell here and

35
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: also to Antagons. Trust me, my dreams have died in

36
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: Fayetteville before, so I know what's about to happen this

37
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: weekend in Arkansas at LSU. Yeah. But the thing with recruiting,

38
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: I think it's so important that, especially with the player,

39
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: and I was talking with uh, I was talking with

40
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: a team that you know that had had Odell Beckham

41
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: on their you know, squad, And the number one thing

42
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: I said, what about this guy? I go, what I

43
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: remember about Odell Beckham at LSU is how hard you

44
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: have to recruit? You know, how hard do you have

45
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: to He wants to feel loved and coddled and cared for.

46
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: And the guy goes, you got him right. It ain't

47
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: always about the money with this guy. He wants to

48
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: feel he has a chance to win, and he wants

49
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: everybody to love him and embrace him. And that's big.

50
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: And I think we've seen it, whether it's whether it's

51
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones, Will McClay, Mike McCarthy, somebody in

52
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: social media, whoever. For the Dallas Cowboys, they've got this

53
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: approach that this is how it's probably gonna have to

54
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: come down. It's probably gonna have to come down to

55
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy talking about him. Check, Jerry Jones talking about him. Check,

56
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott talking about him. Check. You know Dak Prescott

57
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: today talking about him. Check. We'll see about that. Check.

58
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: I'm curious about that one, the Dak Prescott. Check. Dak

59
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: is a very political minded guy. And what's so funny

60
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: is every time I hear Dak and we got him

61
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: to admit this on one oh five three the Fan,

62
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: we made up a fictional team Team X, and like

63
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: Eric Chiafallo asked Dak the question, Dak, tell me about

64
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: Team X. Team X is always ready to play. You

65
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: watch Team X on film because it's it's sometimes quarterbacks,

66
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: you know, they get into a mode and yeah, they

67
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: just yeah, they just kind of get into that. But

68
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: if you have a very political guy. Now, you know,

69
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: I have a feeling today you're going to hear Dak

70
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: talk about a he's very happy with the receivers they have.

71
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: Start there. He'll start there, and you know, and then

72
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: they'll push on and he'll go listen. Odell Beckham is

73
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: this you know, he's been a great player in this

74
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: league for a long time. You know you'll get that mode.

75
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: But this, whether this team has talked about it or not,

76
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: they've done a good job of at least laying the

77
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: groundwork to potentially go out and recruit this. I think

78
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: there's still two weeks away from doing this. Though myself,

79
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: I felt like, I mean everything short of a commercial

80
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: that says like Odell Beckham will make plays and this

81
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: and that. I'm Michael Parsons. I endorsed this man I'm

82
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: just ready for a campaign. I'm ready. I'm ready for

83
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: you guys here at Dallas Cowboys dot com, who has

84
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: one of the best social media departments. Well, and by

85
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: the way, a happy birthday to Shannon Gross right day.

86
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: And it was a big part of what we used

87
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: to do here, not not not just any but yeah

88
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: shan Lee. Yeah. See that's that's what I mean to me.

89
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: That's where sean Lee birthday, not Sean Lee's birthday, a

90
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: Sean Lee birthday. Oh fifty years old, right there you go.

91
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: But the thing about it is, I'm ready for Dallas

92
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com to fire that video that you get

93
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: and it's all of a sudden, the recruiting video, you know,

94
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, they're on board. Here we go.

95
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: You know, we got this social we got this big

96
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: department rolling it out there. Now. I could see highlights

97
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: with Odell coming on the field crowd and you know, no,

98
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: I'm not him catching the ball on you. Yeah, but

99
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: that kind of I'm expecting that next. I'm expecting. I'm

100
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: expecting if so that you start hearing more about it

101
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: of actually, oh they're coming close. Well, it's about the physicals.

102
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: It's gonna be about the physical once. And I think

103
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: it's two weeks because I think he's still doing some

104
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: medical things. I think there's some some well medical maybe

105
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: he's getting himself in order. We had people say he's

106
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: ready Jay Glazer. We've had people like Ian Rappaport, He's

107
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: not gonna be ready till December. It's somewhere in between.

108
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: It's somewhere in between that and the thing that I've

109
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: been asking trainers doctors about this situation. It's like I've gone, well,

110
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: what do you think? Well, I can't tell you what

111
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: to think. I know everybody wants to sign this guy,

112
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: but I can't tell you what to think. I haven't

113
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: seen his knee, you know. That's the thing. Doctors and

114
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: trainers are like, Hey, it's it'd be nice if we

115
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: can like pull on that knee, moving around a little bit,

116
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: see him run a little bit. You know, maybe we

117
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: can kind of figure some things out. But until you

118
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: start to see I think he's going to kind of

119
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: let the dust settle on some of these teams and

120
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: then he's going to make a determination where he would

121
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: like to go. But I give Dallas credit, you know,

122
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: for least showing early entry with the way that they're

123
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: doing some recruiting of Odell Beck. Yeah, I mean you

124
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: know you can say, well, why are we still talking

125
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: about this and all that? And the reason why is

126
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: because they're still talking about it. Garry's talking about it.

127
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: McCarthy talked about McCarthy, a guy that doesn't even want

128
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: to show you numbers on his on the practice uniforms

129
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: in August, you know, but we'll we'll talk about this

130
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: and say this is future conversations, I mean, you know,

131
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: and then, like you said, so it'll be interesting to

132
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: see today what CD says and also what DAK says.

133
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: But they're still talking about it. And to me, it

134
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: took a turn yesterday because you hear okay, you've mentioned

135
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, Mike McCarthy, You hear those comments. Okay, yeah,

136
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: so Dell that's great, Yes you want to sign him here.

137
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: But then for me listening, see listening Mike say those

138
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: is it just like it hypes you up even more

139
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, when are we signing these papers?

140
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: But so it changes the dynamic, and like you said,

141
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting to see what Dak says today.

142
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: He's gonna give the right answer and at that, but

143
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: also knowing the rest of the wide receivers having to

144
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: hear these like damn, we're not we're not good enough.

145
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what's what it really is, that we're

146
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: not well. At least these guys aren't in Green Bay

147
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: where their quarterback talks about him not being good every

148
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: day and he's like, honest about it, you know. I

149
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: mean Aaron Rodgers stands up there and says, this is

150
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: not my fault. You know, this is not my fault.

151
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: You know, these receivers obviously need you know, they need

152
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: this and need that, and you know they need less

153
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: plays of this, and so yeah, I mean this this

154
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: is one of those moves where in baseball and we

155
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: all understand and you get into the Pennant race and

156
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: you're like, give me that one more, make that one

157
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: more deal, make that and and this deal could absolutely

158
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: work for the Cowboys. It could absolutely work to go

159
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: get a wide receiver that will go get that football.

160
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: You know that he's proven that he proved. Just go

161
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: back and watch him play for the Rams in the

162
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: final month of the season last year, and then watch

163
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: him through the playoffs. If he doesn't hurt his knee.

164
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: He's gonna have two hundred yards in that game. Yeah, yeah,

165
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: catching the ball. That's what this guy can do for you.

166
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: And maybe, I mean, that's your hope. We always talk

167
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: about hope, um around here, that's your hope that that

168
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: that player, if you get an opportunity, shows up for

169
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: you at some point in time in this season and

170
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: kind of drive you through some of these games down

171
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: the stretch. And and also you know, you look at

172
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: it from a fans' perspective of hey, let's let's go

173
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: for this, let's try to win this thing. Let's you know,

174
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: the you know, the opportunities there. The NFC is not

175
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: that strong. The best team in the in the division

176
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: or in the vision and the conference right now is

177
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: a team that you know and could have could have

178
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: beaten on the road with the backup quarterback. Um. So

179
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: I think, you know, you push your chips in here.

180
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. But you come

181
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: back and say, what did we do this year? Well,

182
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: we had a pretty good talented team. We let some

183
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: guys go in free agency, but we also signed Peters

184
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: when Tyron Smith went down, We signed Anthony Barr, We

185
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: signed if that happens Odell Beckham. We went for it,

186
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,479
Speaker 1: and and that's all I think that from a fan's perspective,

187
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: that's all they really want, is like, let's go for it. Yeah,

188
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: we always talk about next year and all that. You

189
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: still have to look it next year, but let's go

190
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: for this. Um. Everyone deserves it. This team deserves it,

191
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: this fan base deserves it. You know, the Dallas Skyways

192
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: dot Com deserves it. I mean, like we deserve it.

193
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: Let's go for it. Let's go for it. We all

194
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: deserve deserve it. Let's I mean, at least try try.

195
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: And it looks like they are so Yeah, that's good.

196
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: And at least it's something that even if it doesn't

197
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: work out, we know they tried. So and I think

198
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: that's one of the things like even when we look

199
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: at free agency sometimes we feel we as the consumer,

200
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: the fan, the people that report on the team, we

201
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: feel that they're not necessarily going for it or paying

202
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: the price, or like trying to obtain as much value

203
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: talent wise, part the money terry stuff. Now, I wanted

204
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: to switch subjects. I don't know if you were going

205
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: to say something else about him, Okay, why don't you

206
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: go before we go on break, just kind of go

207
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: down the injury, the practice report from yesterday. Um, Donovo

208
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: went Wilson, he's limited, Yeah, you can relate me. Yeah, yeah,

209
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: I'm dealing with that as well. Um. I think for

210
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: him though, it sounds like he's doing more. Him and

211
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: Noah Brown together, we're on that that we're limited, will

212
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: do a little bit more. And then, you know, I

213
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: think that all signs are kind of pointing up for

214
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: both of them, both of those two guys. So m yeah,

215
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: I didn't hurt anything anything on the contrary there, No,

216
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: I think the big one was what's going to happen

217
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: with Zeke? You know, what's going to happen? And you know, yeah,

218
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: see the thing about with the Zeke is and I

219
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: was it seemed like that there was Jerry Jones positivity,

220
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: hopium and then Mike McCarthy kind of brings it down.

221
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: I think Zeke is really honest about where he is.

222
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: I think he is. I mean, Zeke is one of

223
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: those guys I think after what he went through last year,

224
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,599
Speaker 1: like listen, I just kept playing, I kept playing, I

225
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: kept playing. I'm not going to do that anymore, you know.

226
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he has a lot of pride about his

227
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: toughness and all that. I think today is a really

228
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: big day for him. You know, he didn't do as much.

229
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: See if what he does today and if he doesn't

230
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: do more than what he did yesterday, and it doesn't,

231
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: there could be a really good chance that he doesn't

232
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: play this week. And because they realize what's ahead of

233
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: them the next two weeks Minnesota and then a quick

234
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: one against the Giants, they're looking at that like, Okay,

235
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: if we can find a way to get through this

236
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: Packers game, maybe without him like they did the Bears game,

237
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: and give him that full three weeks of rest, then

238
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: they'll be better off when they play the Vikings in

239
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: Minneapolis next weekend and then the Giants at home the

240
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: following Thursday night, which will be a huge, huge game

241
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: for how maybe maybe even wildcard seating might be sure.

242
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: You know, So you got to think about those things

243
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 1: going forward, and and if if he doesn't have if

244
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: he doesn't it, I was told it has to be

245
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: perfect today and if it's not, then we'll see him

246
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: probably being active this weekend. Well, we're gonna talk about

247
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: him in the second segment about the not him specifically,

248
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: but the running back running back situation, and if a

249
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: guy like Tony Polar can performed the way that he

250
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: did like he did against the Bears, can he repeats

251
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: something like that against Packers defense? And real quick, I mean,

252
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: yesterday we already talked about Anthony Barr in his situation.

253
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: He didn't practice yesterday, so he sounds doubtful today. Listen

254
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: to Mike McCarthy talk. Yeah, he sounds a little bit

255
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: doubtful for what's going to happen with him. And like

256
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: Nick said, you know, he's going to anchor that thing

257
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: or get anchor. He's gonna get himself ready to get

258
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: ready for that Minnesota game next week. That's probably what

259
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: he's shooting for right now. Well, in real quick, did you?

260
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean? I keep finding an interesting the situation with

261
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: James Washington and kind of the way he explained things

262
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: that you're kind of looking at. It sounds like he's

263
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: ready to return, but they're planning his twenty one window.

264
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: I think this has to do with I think this

265
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: has to do with Odell Beckham myself. I do. I

266
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: don't think they I do. I think like if they

267
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: get Beckham, they're gonna they're gonna slow play this thing

268
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: out the rest of the way unless something happens with

269
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: another injury, like a Noah Brown injury or something like that.

270
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: I have a feeling they're not in a big hurry

271
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: right now. They're gonna see what happens with Beckham. If

272
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: Beckham ends up going somewhere else or just they don't

273
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: get him, you'll see the James Washington windows start. You know,

274
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: I think James Washington and Odell Beckham are on the

275
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: same plan. I really really do. Yeah, they get one

276
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: the other one kind of you know, like if it's Washington,

277
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: they slow play that, and you know they keep him

278
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: over here, available and ready. If in fact, Beckham goes,

279
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: then you see the windows start. That's what I think

280
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: is gonna happen. I think so too. It was it

281
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: just seemed kind of weird the way McCarthy kind of

282
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: talked about that in the window and like, oh, you know,

283
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: you want him to just come out, You want him

284
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: to come out and say, listen, we're hunting Beckham right now.

285
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: If he doesn't sign, we got James Washington. If if

286
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: he if he signs, good, we'll be fine. We'll just

287
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: keep James. He's getting paid everybody's happy. He's ready to go.

288
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: He's on you know, he's it's like the movie Top Gun.

289
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: He's over on Kat Too, ready to shoot off the

290
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: deck in case they need some battle action up there.

291
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. They got they got Yeah,

292
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: they got my guy in Kat Too, Kat Too, right,

293
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: I mean they're holding wait Kat Too. You know in

294
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: both movies the hero was was that the cat Too guy? Yeah,

295
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: the guy that was hanging out there at the end. Yeah, exactly.

296
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: If I spoiled the movie for you, I mean, that's

297
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: your fault. You should have watched it by now. All right,

298
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: So who's Kat Too? James Washington, James Washington, James, They've got,

299
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: They've they've got. They're they're thinking they're gonna fire. They're

300
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: gonna put Odell in the in the action, you know,

301
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: and and fight and then but they got James Washington

302
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: Cat Too, and he might have to come save the day.

303
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: You never know, Amy, I mean, we won't know until

304
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: we see it happen. And if he would be the

305
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: guy to save they or not, I don't know. But

306
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: let's go to break. When we come back, we'll get

307

Speaker 1: into Cowboys offense versus Green bay thief. We'll do that.

308
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

309
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought

310
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

311
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

312
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

313
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

314
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

315
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

316
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: T five G. Fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated. Five

317
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: G requires compatible plan and device. Five G may not

356
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: talk about what Green Bay has over there, the defensive

357
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: side of it. Yeah, this is gonna be uh you

358
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: know the things I worry about on the offensive side,

359
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: talked about all yesterday. Go back and listen to that.

360
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: I think running the ball is something I was talking

361
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: to some guys in Green Bay about it this morning.

362
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: They're like, listen, you guys are gonna kill us. I'm like,

363
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: you don't know that. Don't say that kind of a

364
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: thing where they they feel like that they're the middle

365
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: of the road defense right now. They felt like that

366
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: they they they've invested in the defense. But to the

367
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: point where they haven't got the results that they really

368
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: felt like that they deserve for their investment. They still

369
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: have a really good I think. I think. I think

370
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: losing Gary their defensive end, I think really hurts them.

371
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: Or shot Gary. You know, he's number fifty two. He

372
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: was their best pass rusher. He's the guy that's always

373
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: around the ball. He's really good against the run. He's disruptive,

374
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: he gets up the field. He's got some tank. Micah

375
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: Parsons foul, he's got that how the Cowboys played defensive end.

376
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: He's got that kind of ability, you know, like as

377
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: a good run player, and it is a good as

378
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: a good pass rusher. And I think that something that

379
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: they're really really gonna miss Preston Smith and they got

380
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: from the Redskins a while back at me said the

381
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: Redskins the Commanders a while back. Uh. He he is

382
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: a guy that I think does a much better job

383
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: of playing the run. And the problem is when you

384
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: run the ball at him, he's really good as far

385
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: as not letting the ball get outside of him. When

386
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: you when you look at how he plays, he's got

387
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: really good length. Uh, he's good at the point of attack.

388
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: He can extend on blockers. When the ball goes to

389
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: the outside. There's times where you could see the redirection

390
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: skills and stuff. So running the ball at his side,

391
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: I don't think it's though necessarily the best thing to

392
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: do here. This defense is going to remind you very

393
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: similar to how the defense is played when they faced

394
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: the Rams. Okay, so if you think about how the

395
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys attacked the Rams, it wasn't so much it was

396
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. It wasn't just throwing the football. It was

397
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: more of the running game stuff. And I feel like

398
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: that that's that's where that's some of the some of

399
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys game plan is going to come from that

400
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: Rams game with the way how they did that. You know,

401
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,239
Speaker 1: and they obviously don't have an Aaron Donald they had been.

402
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: Preston Smith is their version of it, even not as good.

403
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: But Kenny Clark is good inside as a defensive tackle

404
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: for them. That's something you have to come to think

405
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: about him and jarn Reid. When I think of the

406
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: Rams too, I also think of they have a guy

407
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,959
Speaker 1: that really can lock down your number one in corner

408
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: and Jalen Ramsey. Yeah, the Packers have somebody like that. Yeah, Alexander, Alexander, Yeah,

409
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: Jar Exilier, it can do that. Now. The thing about

410
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: it is, though, if you look at if you if

411
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: you look at Joe Barry, the defensive coordinator um for

412
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: the Packers, Joe is not a big travel guy because

413
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: Joe he comes from that the Rod Marinelli's system of defense,

414
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: and so he's kind of morphed in some three four

415
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: stuff away from the four to three. But he's kind of,

416
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, he's trying to match personnel or match his

417
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: scheme with the personnel that he has forever. You know,

418
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: Dom Capers was part of the they were three four

419
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: three four scheme, and so they have that personnel and

420
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: they're trying to kind of morph into more of a

421
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: four three. But he doesn't believe in traveling because he

422
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: feels like when you take a traveler, whether it's Alexander

423
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: and you and say they move lamb, say they just

424
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: walk lamb all across. The minute he crosses the center,

425
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, everybody else's responsibilities change. Joe Barry,

426
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: Rod Marinelli, these guys have always believed that keep everybody

427
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: the same and that way nobody has to make adjustments

428
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: on the fly, so you'll see Alexander. He will play

429
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: different size. But it's not one of those things where

430
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: it's like star coverage that they're going to walk in

431
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,239
Speaker 1: with ceedee lamb the whole time. I don't believe. And

432
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: that being said, and I know I say this a lot,

433
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: but I just I don't think you can reiterate it enough.

434
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: That's why Anthony Brown should get a lot more credit

435
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: than he gets because it is. It is tough. And

436
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: when Trayvon is traveling, so is Anthony Brown. He's traveling

437
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 1: as well, and he's doing he's making changes in the

438
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: in the corners when Jordan Lewis or now it's Bland

439
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: or whoever you know. And so I think you got

440
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 1: to give the whole secondary some praise for that. Yes,

441
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: give praise to Digs for being good enough to actually

442
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: take their number one, but you know, technique inside of

443
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: the field and all that matters. And for Anthony Brown

444
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: and those guys to flip around like that, I think

445
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: they should be applauded for that as well. Yeah. They

446
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: you make a great point there with that. In the secondary. Uh,

447
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: Like I say, I'd stay away from Alexander is what

448
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: I would try to do. He's one of these guys

449
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: that when you watch him play, if the ball is

450
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: going to his side, say you have a route combination

451
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: to his side, whether routes or working there, he will

452
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: drop coverage to go take another guy. I mean he will.

453
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: He will almost like he's reading, like he's gambling that Okay,

454
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: I see where you're gonna throw this football. I see

455
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: how the route combination is going to develop, and then

456
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: he will just fire off his guy and then like

457
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: undercut a route. You know, say there's a route two

458
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: routes to one side. He'll leave his guy to go

459
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: help the other guy and then try and make a

460
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: play on the ball. So you have to be Dak

461
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: can't sit there and think, Okay, I've got to throw.

462
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: I've got to throw. I've got to throw, and it's open.

463
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: He's got he has to understand that if you do

464
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: go to that side, and maybe the Cowboys with the

465
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: game plan, you try and keep things away from Alexander's

466
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: side so he can't come over and help. That's Jalen's

467
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: over for me. Yeah. If he's going to stay over there,

468
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: let him run down the field. Yeah, just keep I

469
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: mean anything to keep away from Alexander. Now, I will

470
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: say this about this secondary though they're a group, though

471
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: that doesn't I don't think they tackle Alexander tackle as well.

472
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: But when you talk about Amos the safety and Savage

473
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: the safety, there have been times where the ball running

474
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: the ball at them and they've been the one guy

475
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: in the hole to make the play and they've missed tackles.

476
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: So if you're Pollard's, if it's Pollard or Zeke gets

477
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: the opportunity in this game, there could be some miss

478
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: tackles at the point of attack and then turn into

479
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: some big plays because these safeties don't tackle particularly well.

480
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: If you're going to attack a guy on this thing,

481
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: I mentioned Rashul Douglas. He's a guy that I feel

482
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: like that people pick on him a little bit more

483
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: because of what goes on with Alexander and stuff. He's

484
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: number twenty nine, So if you see the Cowboys kind

485
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: of firing the ball his direction, there's a reason for

486
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: that because I feel like that between him, Eric Stokes

487
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 1: and Alexander, he's the weak link of this of that secondary.

488
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: And then I mentioned the tackling with Amilson Savage. I

489
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: don't think it's up to the standards that we've seen

490
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: here with the Cowboys, with the way that Curse and

491
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: Wilson and those guys tackle around the line of scrimmage.

492
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: So let's cut the offense Cowboys offense into two parts,

493
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: one the running game and then the passing game. Starting

494
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: off with the running game. Looking at what you got

495
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: and we know Zeke is day to day. If you

496
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: were the Cowboys, how would you prepare the running game

497
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: for this weekend? Do you play Zeke let's say he's

498
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: kind of okay to go and get in there, or

499
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 1: do you stick to kind of what you did against

500
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 1: the Bears? I think, to me, and after today, we'll

501
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,479
Speaker 1: know Friday we come on and start talking about what

502
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: we think about the game. I think tomorrow will have

503
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: an idea of what direction that they're going to go.

504
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: If it's a if it's a Pollard Davis ticket for

505
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: this week, I think that's you know, they they proved

506
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: against the Bears that they can they can do that.

507
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 1: You know. I don't think there's I don't think there's

508
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: gonna huge just drop off there. I think the physicality

509
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: in this game. I think both teams are going to

510
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: try and establish the run. I think I think it's

511
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: really important for the Packers because they don't want to

512
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: get in a situation. They've had some problems with rogers

513
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: and protections and things like that. Even though they're offensive

514
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: lines back, so them running the ball protects them. Dallas

515
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: running the ball I think protects them as well. But

516
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: I think Dallas can be more balanced in this game.

517
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: Then I have to say, Okay, they're really bad playing

518
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: run defense. Just go run the ball as much as

519
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: you can. We've seen some games what Detroit, you know,

520
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: people like that, they're really bad on the run defense.

521
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: Just run it at him. You know you'll be fine.

522
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: I think Dallas can be balanced in this game. But

523
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: I think if it turns into like I said, if

524
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: it turns into Pollard and your rookie running back Mollek

525
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: Davis having to play, I think they could be okay

526
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: in this game. I really do. And as far as

527
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: the wide receiver group, Nick, we know, we know we're

528
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: still talking about it, and we know Noah Brown is

529
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: still banked up, he's limited. We don't know his tats

530
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: for this weekend yet. But as far as the group

531
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: as a whole, do you think do you feel they

532
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: can carry over what they did against the Bears, or

533
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,239
Speaker 1: you know it's going to be a challenge. I think

534
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: it's a challenge, and I think there were light in

535
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: that game against the Bears. They did a nice job.

536
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,959
Speaker 1: I mean the CD and Gallop, they both made plays

537
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: and Tolbert was kind of running around. Didn't do a

538
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: whole lot there. Turpin, we didn't see a lot out

539
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: of him. He was the fourth receiver. You know, they

540
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: had to put CJ. Goodwin in a situation where he

541
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he's practicing some receiver as well as

542
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: an emergency guy. So I think they would love to

543
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: have Noah Brown back if he can, if he can

544
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,719
Speaker 1: make it back for this game, but if not, it

545
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: is a challenge where they where they kind of offset

546
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: that is with the tight ends. You know, with the

547
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen personnel. McEwen out there a lot. I guess

548
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: he's on the roster now so they don't have to

549
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: call up anybody. So that's how they're going to play it,

550
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: and I think that affects the running game, passing game.

551
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: It works because Hendershot and Ferguson are both athletic tight

552
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: ends where they can do some things with that. They

553
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: can stay in in block and not be in bad

554
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: you know, in harm's way. They also can go out

555
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: and win routes, you know. So that's what that's what

556
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: the advantage of a thirteen personnel does. Absolutely if you

557
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: can do both, absolutely, and to me with it turns

558
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: into and I don't think the wind is going to

559
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: be a factor in this game. But we've talked about

560
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: the field conditions. We've talked about Okay, is it going

561
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: to be one of those things get people going one way,

562
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: take the ball back the other way. The Cowboys have

563
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: done a great job those simple little passes, whether it's

564
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: to the Schultz, Hendershot whoever. You know, they found a

565
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: way with the boots, the waggles, especially if they get

566
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: the run game going in this thing and all of

567
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: a sudden Green Bays having to sell out to stop

568
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: the run and then you get a tight end coming

569
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: across and it's just an easy, simple throw. So I

570
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: think the tight ends are going to be big, big

571
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: factor in this game. It might not be because they say,

572
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: I think their best player on defense is their corner Alexander.

573
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: So I'm doing everything I can to stay away from him.

574
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: But if it means I can have to put Savage

575
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: and Amos and these linebackers and these guys in coverage

576
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: on these tight ends, and it's simple throws for Dak.

577
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: I think I'm doing that all day long. If they're

578
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: going to give it to me. All right, let's take

579
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: our final break. When we come back. We're going to

580
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: kind of summarize the you know, the weak areas for

581
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: this game and then the strongest part where the Cowboys

582
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: can the Cowboys offense can really take advantage, as well

583
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: as speak about this new environment that the Cowboys having

584
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: played ins yet this year. The season is finally here

585

627
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: segment of the Break. Final segment, and I wanted to

628
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: talk about the environment. This is something you know that

629
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: it's a completely different environment than what the Cowboys have

630
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: faced this year so far. You know, we're headed into

631
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: cold weather now. The climate is starting to change, and

632
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: we haven't seen this team and we know how that affects.

633
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: And you know, I think about players like Zeke for example,

634
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: players are struggling with a certain type of injury. When

635
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: you talk about them possibly playing in this game, we

636
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: know how that cold weather kind of gives you a

637
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: different kind of pain in those types of injuries. So

638
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you, are there any types

639
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: of concern that you expect from the Cowboys side of

640
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: them dealing or struggling with I'm looking at the weather

641
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: right now and it's just like thanks. I mean, it's

642
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: seventy degrees right now in Green Bay, and tomorrow the

643
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: high is fifty two, and then Saturday the high is

644
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: thirty seven, and Sunday the highs thirty seven. So today's

645
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: the highest seventy three. So we appreciate it, you know,

646
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: thanks for doing that for us so we can get

647
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: the experience. But I will say this, it's not like

648
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: from a practice standpoint, It's not like where all the

649
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,479
Speaker 1: packers are used to it. They should be used to

650
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: it in the last few years, but they're not going

651
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: to be used to it like right now. I mean,

652
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: they haven't been practicing and it's seventy degrees. It's probably

653
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: seventy degrees here. Yeah, they're practicing. I'm probably practicing outside. Yeah,

654
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: So you know that I think that's kind of one

655
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: of those things that they're probably enjoying it. Because I

656
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: remember living up there for five years. Around Halloween it

657
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: started the snow, you know, that's when it's starting to

658
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: get kind of crazy cold. I just don't think that.

659
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: I don't think the cold will be a factor. I

660
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: think you'll be interesting when when you guys get there

661
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: with when we talk to Christie Scales in the pregame

662
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: and which she's on the field, and the wind direction,

663
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: and that stadium's changed a lot since they've built it up.

664
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: You know, it's the bowl that you know, when I

665
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: first started there ninety two, it was a bowl, and

666
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: then we then they put up the you know, they

667
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: started put up the press box and then the skyboxes,

668
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,240
Speaker 1: and then they closed it in, and so the wind

669
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: maybe not as much as a factor. I think the

670
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: only thing about it is too that I could say

671
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: the field conditions, because that when you get obviously at

672
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 1: seventy degrees right now, you're getting like warm air up there,

673
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: you know, and then the warm air turns cold, and

674
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden it turns it gets on

675
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: the field, and when you play these three twenty five

676
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 1: games or night games, you'll be able to see the field.

677
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 1: It's not like ice, but it's a sheen to it.

678
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: And if you don't have the right shoes, it's a problem.

679
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you will see, like I guarantee you in

680
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: this game, there'll be somebody that runs a route and

681
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: falls and it might be an interception, or it might

682
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: be a tip ball, or it might be a key

683
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: play that gets you off the field on third down

684
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: because somebody fell down. And that's the thing about with

685
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: when you're play in Green Bay this time of year

686
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 1: is that it's not really it's not to the point

687
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: it's not that bitter cold. When you get late in

688
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 1: the season near you know, near the after Christmas, that's

689
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 1: what it turns into. You're dealing with a nineteen degree

690
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: day or a twenty degree day or something like that.

691
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: And that you know, if you've listened to McCarthy's press conferences,

692
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: he's talked about cleats about five, five or six times,

693
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: like if anybody has an issue like that, wearing the

694
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: wrong shoes and all, that's that's on them because they

695
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: they have been prepared for this. Uh. He you know,

696
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 1: he he knows what this stadium, obviously in the grass

697
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,240
Speaker 1: is like and I think of a guy like Turpin

698
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: who wants to play fast, wants to be you know.

699
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: He actually if you go back and look at that,

700
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: and I know you did that opening kickoff against the Eagles,

701
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: it's probably a touchdown. Yeah, he's he trips, you know.

702
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: Now that's big thick grass. He's maybe not used to

703
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: play in. He saw something, he made a cut and

704
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: he did it later in the game too that they

705
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: got a big run. But that might have been to

706
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 1: the house to start that game. How how different could

707
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: that have been? Um, but he tripped up and whatever.

708
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: And so sometimes it is it's footing and McCarthy's doing it.

709
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: I think he's doing a good job of letting them

710
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: know that, you know, just the other things that you

711
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: have to deal with in a game like this. It's

712
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: two thy fourteen, the last it's the playoff game, the

713
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 1: last time they've been up there. Uh oh, no, sixteen

714
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: da when it's Yeah, So I was thinking because when

715
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: we went up there in fourteen for that playoff game,

716
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: the field was completely just and it was a really

717
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: warm day. It was it was a temperature was like

718
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: in the high twenties for that time of year. Yeah,

719
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: let's clarify what warm days well for Lambeau Field, for

720
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: lambou Field, for Lambo Field a playoff game, because I

721
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: remember watching the game from the from the field, but

722
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: the field was chopped up. Yeah, but of your a

723
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: lot of layers that you had on. I had way

724
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,760
Speaker 1: too many layers you You couldn't have been moved around

725
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: like that day like you were like layered up. I

726
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: was so layered up. And but it was a for

727
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: that time of year. It was an unusually warm day.

728
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: It was not one of those brutal days that it

729
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: wasn't like that day in Chicago that we endured that

730
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: night game in Chicago that we endured that one time.

731
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: But but but I think now for this time, yeah,

732
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: you'll catch your break. Let's see what the wind is.

733
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: Just note the field, and I think Mike McCarthy's on.

734
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: Then I think that's the good thing. And I think

735
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: that helps. And maybe it might be a situation too.

736
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: You might be worried about Zeke and stuff uff like

737
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: that with the knee. Do you want him running on

738
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: that turf that tends to be a little slippery on

739
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: those three twenty five games. Now, to summarize and going

740
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: back to the conversations we were having in the second segment.

741
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 1: You know, you'd mentioned a lot of their players, saying,

742
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: kind of the guys that struggle, the guys are the

743
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 1: most talented ones on that group. If you were to

744
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: look at this matchup, and I started with you, Nick,

745
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: which would be the area that the Cowboys can take

746
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: the most advantage? To me, I think that they're gonna

747
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I think their strength is going to be

748
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: running the football, and I think I think running into

749
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 1: the outside, outside in you know. But but Pollard, I

750
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 1: think they found something there. I don't think this is

751
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: just something like, oh, Zeke, Zeke was out, Poulard had

752
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 1: a big game. I think they're they're kind of seeing

753
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: something a little bit, and whether they want to admit

754
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: it or not, I do think it's a situation where

755
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: Pollard deserves more carries. He deserves some inside runs as well,

756
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: because he can he can break from the outside. But

757
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: I think him on the outside is gonna be big.

758
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: But I think just running the ball. If Zeke doesn't play,

759
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: I think the league Davis could have some success. Now,

760
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: Nick's right about this, this team, when you play a

761
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: three to four front, it's we always talk about the

762
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:12,919
Speaker 1: two gaps where you extend and look for the ball

763
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. This line, defensive line tends to

764
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: catch blocks. I mean when I mean catch, it's like

765
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: instead of firing in and controlling and getting off blocks,

766
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: they tend to get to you and then they're catching you,

767
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, into their body and then they're trying to

768
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: kind of find things. And I think that's where it

769
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 1: gives the Cowboys avanage. Especially what we've seen off the

770
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 1: right side with Martin and Steel together and then even

771
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 1: with Beyondish at the center. They've done a good job.

772
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: But when that ball comes off that right side, whether

773
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: it's the scoops or the reaches or whatever they have

774
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: to do or they put when those tight ends over

775
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 1: there and block, they've gotten some push. And Pollard and

776
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: those guys have done a good job of when they

777
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 1: see a cut to go ahead and make that cut.

778
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: So I think I think Nick's right. I think running

779
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 1: the ball would be a good thing against you guys,

780
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: and going without the way they play defense. Do you

781
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: think this is a scenario where you could see Dak

782
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: running the ball somewhat, I mean kind of similar to

783
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: what we saw a couple of weeks ago, but him

784
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: kind of whin, you know, using that his legs a

785
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: little more. Do you feel that, man, I'll tell you

786
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 1: what I watched last week. I know you guys were

787
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: everybody was doing their own things and stuff. Like I

788
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 1: sat down for the first time I got to watch. Well,

789
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: we've seen what Fields did with the bear, and then

790
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: you watch him the next week against the Dolphins, and

791
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: what a fact. Now they didn't win the game, but

792
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: these running quarterbacks, you sit down, you watch the red

793
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: zone channel, these running quarterbacks, and you even have to

794
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: worry about that a little bit. With Aaron Rodgers, Like

795
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're playing man coverage and you

796
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 1: get out of your lane and he takes off running

797
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 1: and he kind of he runs, he looks, he runs,

798
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: he looks, he runs, and then he slides down, you know,

799
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: and then it's a first down. And these running quarterbacks

800
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: that have been able to take advantage, you know of

801
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: when you play man coverage and you get out lane

802
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 1: and they take off running. I mean Gino Smith in

803
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: Seattle watching that game, drops back pressures all over, it

804
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: runs and now it's like an eighteen yard game and

805
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: you're just you know, You're like, damn, how did that happen?

806
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: You know, well, it happened because you're playing a man

807
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: coverage and you get out of your lanes. So yeah,

808
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: if if Dad can, it's gonna be one of those

809
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 1: games were they're gonna need plays those twenty sixteen the

810
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: Lucky Whitehead Jet sweep. You know that they're gonna need breaks,

811
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: uh David Herbott punching the ball out or or Rogers

812
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: just dropping the snap out near the goal line. You

813
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: know they're gonna need that kind of play. I know

814
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 1: that the Packers records bad, but I feel like that

815
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers wants to beat They could They could beat

816
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: Dallas this week and turn around and lose to Tennessee

817
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: the next week. That's how this Packard team could be.

818
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: I just feel like that Aaron Rodgers is going to

819
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: make this a personal game. Yeah. I think he's going

820
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: to make it personal that he does not want to

821
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: lose to Mike McCarthy, I really And that's what's scares

822
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 1: me to death right now. And and he's got that

823
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 1: ability he's going to control the game as the quarterback.

824
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: You know, I know I was running around there with

825
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 1: that whole thing, but the Cowboys have ten ten assistants

826
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,919
Speaker 1: and a head coach and nine other assistants that want

827
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: to make it personal as well, but they don't control

828
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: the game like like Rogers has. So yeah he's look bad,

829
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 1: Yeah he's looked bad at times. Really, where I think

830
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys though, where this is where I think the

831
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys are going to have another big advantage is is

832
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: that their corners can cover their guys. I think you

833
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: can just cover them. They don't have to to do

834
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: a whole lot of extra things. And then that's what

835
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: allows them to go and run in Parsons to rush

836
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: and those guys to do what they do because I

837
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: think I think whoever is at Lazard whatever, I think

838
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: Digs can can cover him, and I think Brown can

839
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: cover the other side. And I don't think they have

840
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 1: to compromise what they do in the in the secondary

841
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: to get after Rogers and do that and force him

842
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: into bad decisions. So that that's where I think I

843
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: think that they're better than they've ever been against Rogers

844
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: and them is the secondary versus the receivers. So we'll see,

845
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting. The one thing that I have on

846
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: my mind listen to Okay, you talking about their offense,

847
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: you're talking about their defense. There's nothing. I think this

848
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: is a game that the Cowboys can definitely win. But

849
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: the only area that kind of concerns me a little

850
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: bit our penalties and how that can affect. I mean,

851
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: we've seen it in the past a long time ago,

852
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 1: but just kind of that area of if it goes

853
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: the wrong way for the Cowboys, you can easily just

854
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: lose that game. Oh oh no, We've Cowboy fans know

855
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: all good and well about referees at lambeau Field. You

856
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: know that. There's a there's documentaries about that, you know.

857
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know who the officials got this game.

858
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: I'll have it tomorrow and we'll get an idea. But

859
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: I think letting them play effect would help the Cowboys

860
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: more than somebody is going to call this thing tight,

861
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 1: no doubt, because that's one way you know they're crafty.

862
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: Is gonna be crafty. They're gonna they can twelve mint

863
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: on the field, they can PIU down the field, you know,

864
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:09,280
Speaker 1: and that could happen hard counts all that stuff. Yeah. Well,

865
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: and with that, we have ended the show for today.

866
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: We'll be back tomorrow for another show. We'll kind of

867
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: summarize everything in predictions, Prediction, Game Day prediction, See what's

868
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,440
