0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Nick here to talk some cowboys and some more. A

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 1>little bit more O b J O A little bit. Yes,

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>we won't take the whole segment or anything like that,

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>but because some of the players did speak to the

0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>media yesterday, it was brought up to them. You know,

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 1>you had Michael Parsons making comments, taking it to Twitter.

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Even you had Ezekiel Elliott mentioning him as well. So

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.479
<v Speaker 1>when you I wanted to ask you guys your opinion

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 1>on this, when you have players like those kind of

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:24.039
<v Speaker 1>voicing their opinion and their want and you know, putting

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.839
<v Speaker 1>it out there like we want him to come play

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.759
<v Speaker 1>with us, come win game with us, and all that

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:35.200
<v Speaker 1>what does that mean? I mean, how are you interpreting

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 1>this kind of comments? I think I think their desire

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.680
<v Speaker 1>and want for this guy to join their team is

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>obviously way greater than any kind of hurt feelings that

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 1>might happen with a wide receiver here or here or here.

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 1>That you're basically saying, we need to get better and

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 1>this guy can help us, and if it hurts your feeling, sorry,

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>get open. I mean that's basically kind of yeah, no

0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I And today you're going to it Ceedee Lamb, which

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 1>will be interesting, and you're gonna get Dak to talk

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>as well. And now it's every day there seems like

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>a different level of recruitment going on. And I even

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 1>wore my LSU shirt today to recruit Odell here and

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>also to Antagons. Trust me, my dreams have died in

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Fayetteville before, so I know what's about to happen this

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:28.959
<v Speaker 1>weekend in Arkansas at LSU. Yeah. But the thing with recruiting,

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it's so important that, especially with the player,

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 1>and I was talking with uh, I was talking with

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.800
<v Speaker 1>a team that you know that had had Odell Beckham

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>on their you know, squad, And the number one thing

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>I said, what about this guy? I go, what I

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>remember about Odell Beckham at LSU is how hard you

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>have to recruit? You know, how hard do you have

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 1>to He wants to feel loved and coddled and cared for.

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 1>And the guy goes, you got him right. It ain't

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 1>always about the money with this guy. He wants to

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 1>feel he has a chance to win, and he wants

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 1>everybody to love him and embrace him. And that's big.

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.239
<v Speaker 1>And I think we've seen it, whether it's whether it's

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones, Will McClay, Mike McCarthy, somebody in

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>social media, whoever. For the Dallas Cowboys, they've got this

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>approach that this is how it's probably gonna have to

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 1>come down. It's probably gonna have to come down to

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Mike McCarthy talking about him. Check, Jerry Jones talking about him. Check,

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Ezekiel Elliott talking about him. Check. You know Dak Prescott

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 1>today talking about him. Check. We'll see about that. Check.

0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious about that one, the Dak Prescott. Check. Dak

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 1>is a very political minded guy. And what's so funny

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>is every time I hear Dak and we got him

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>to admit this on one oh five three the Fan,

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 1>we made up a fictional team Team X, and like

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Eric Chiafallo asked Dak the question, Dak, tell me about

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Team X. Team X is always ready to play. You

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>watch Team X on film because it's it's sometimes quarterbacks,

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, they get into a mode and yeah, they

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>just yeah, they just kind of get into that. But

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>if you have a very political guy. Now, you know,

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 1>I have a feeling today you're going to hear Dak

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 1>talk about a he's very happy with the receivers they have.

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Start there. He'll start there, and you know, and then

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 1>they'll push on and he'll go listen. Odell Beckham is

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 1>this you know, he's been a great player in this

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 1>league for a long time. You know you'll get that mode.

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 1>But this, whether this team has talked about it or not,

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>they've done a good job of at least laying the

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:37.279
<v Speaker 1>groundwork to potentially go out and recruit this. I think

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>there's still two weeks away from doing this. Though myself,

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 1>I felt like, I mean everything short of a commercial

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.720
<v Speaker 1>that says like Odell Beckham will make plays and this

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:49.160
<v Speaker 1>and that. I'm Michael Parsons. I endorsed this man I'm

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 1>just ready for a campaign. I'm ready. I'm ready for

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 1>you guys here at Dallas Cowboys dot com, who has

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:56.920
<v Speaker 1>one of the best social media departments. Well, and by

0:04:56.960 --> 0:05:00.279
<v Speaker 1>the way, a happy birthday to Shannon Gross right day.

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 1>And it was a big part of what we used

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.920
<v Speaker 1>to do here, not not not just any but yeah

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 1>shan Lee. Yeah. See that's that's what I mean to me.

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 1>That's where sean Lee birthday, not Sean Lee's birthday, a

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.919
<v Speaker 1>Sean Lee birthday. Oh fifty years old, right there you go.

0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 1>But the thing about it is, I'm ready for Dallas

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys dot Com to fire that video that you get

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's all of a sudden, the recruiting video, you know,

0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.480
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, okay, they're on board. Here we go.

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, we got this social we got this big

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:32.160
<v Speaker 1>department rolling it out there. Now. I could see highlights

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:36.800
<v Speaker 1>with Odell coming on the field crowd and you know, no,

0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm not him catching the ball on you. Yeah, but

0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:43.479
<v Speaker 1>that kind of I'm expecting that next. I'm expecting. I'm

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:51.280
<v Speaker 1>expecting if so that you start hearing more about it

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>of actually, oh they're coming close. Well, it's about the physicals.

0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be about the physical once. And I think

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.760
<v Speaker 1>it's two weeks because I think he's still doing some

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 1>medical things. I think there's some some well medical maybe

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 1>he's getting himself in order. We had people say he's

0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:11.960
<v Speaker 1>ready Jay Glazer. We've had people like Ian Rappaport, He's

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:15.160
<v Speaker 1>not gonna be ready till December. It's somewhere in between.

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 1>It's somewhere in between that and the thing that I've

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:25.040
<v Speaker 1>been asking trainers doctors about this situation. It's like I've gone, well,

0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.599
<v Speaker 1>what do you think? Well, I can't tell you what

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>to think. I know everybody wants to sign this guy,

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 1>but I can't tell you what to think. I haven't

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>seen his knee, you know. That's the thing. Doctors and

0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 1>trainers are like, Hey, it's it'd be nice if we

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>can like pull on that knee, moving around a little bit,

0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 1>see him run a little bit. You know, maybe we

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.880
<v Speaker 1>can kind of figure some things out. But until you

0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 1>start to see I think he's going to kind of

0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.479
<v Speaker 1>let the dust settle on some of these teams and

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.840
<v Speaker 1>then he's going to make a determination where he would

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.440
<v Speaker 1>like to go. But I give Dallas credit, you know,

0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:01.480
<v Speaker 1>for least showing early entry with the way that they're

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.920
<v Speaker 1>doing some recruiting of Odell Beck. Yeah, I mean you

0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:06.720
<v Speaker 1>know you can say, well, why are we still talking

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.680
<v Speaker 1>about this and all that? And the reason why is

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 1>because they're still talking about it. Garry's talking about it.

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 1>McCarthy talked about McCarthy, a guy that doesn't even want

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 1>to show you numbers on his on the practice uniforms

0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.240
<v Speaker 1>in August, you know, but we'll we'll talk about this

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.920
<v Speaker 1>and say this is future conversations, I mean, you know,

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 1>and then, like you said, so it'll be interesting to

0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.760
<v Speaker 1>see today what CD says and also what DAK says.

0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 1>But they're still talking about it. And to me, it

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 1>took a turn yesterday because you hear okay, you've mentioned

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Jones, Mike McCarthy, You hear those comments. Okay, yeah,

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:40.360
<v Speaker 1>so Dell that's great, Yes you want to sign him here.

0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 1>But then for me listening, see listening Mike say those

0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 1>is it just like it hypes you up even more

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, okay, when are we signing these papers?

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 1>But so it changes the dynamic, and like you said,

0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.240
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be interesting to see what Dak says today.

0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna give the right answer and at that, but

0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:06.240
<v Speaker 1>also knowing the rest of the wide receivers having to

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 1>hear these like damn, we're not we're not good enough.

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's what's what it really is, that we're

0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 1>not well. At least these guys aren't in Green Bay

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 1>where their quarterback talks about him not being good every

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 1>day and he's like, honest about it, you know. I

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.040
<v Speaker 1>mean Aaron Rodgers stands up there and says, this is

0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 1>not my fault. You know, this is not my fault.

0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, these receivers obviously need you know, they need

0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 1>this and need that, and you know they need less

0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 1>plays of this, and so yeah, I mean this this

0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 1>is one of those moves where in baseball and we

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.080
<v Speaker 1>all understand and you get into the Pennant race and

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.240
<v Speaker 1>you're like, give me that one more, make that one

0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 1>more deal, make that and and this deal could absolutely

0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.640
<v Speaker 1>work for the Cowboys. It could absolutely work to go

0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.880
<v Speaker 1>get a wide receiver that will go get that football.

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 1>You know that he's proven that he proved. Just go

0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 1>back and watch him play for the Rams in the

0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.280
<v Speaker 1>final month of the season last year, and then watch

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 1>him through the playoffs. If he doesn't hurt his knee.

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.679
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna have two hundred yards in that game. Yeah, yeah,

0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 1>catching the ball. That's what this guy can do for you.

0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 1>And maybe, I mean, that's your hope. We always talk

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 1>about hope, um around here, that's your hope that that

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:18.280
<v Speaker 1>that player, if you get an opportunity, shows up for

0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 1>you at some point in time in this season and

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of drive you through some of these games down

0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.560
<v Speaker 1>the stretch. And and also you know, you look at

0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:29.840
<v Speaker 1>it from a fans' perspective of hey, let's let's go

0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 1>for this, let's try to win this thing. Let's you know,

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>the you know, the opportunities there. The NFC is not

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 1>that strong. The best team in the in the division

0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:41.679
<v Speaker 1>or in the vision and the conference right now is

0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.720
<v Speaker 1>a team that you know and could have could have

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:48.120
<v Speaker 1>beaten on the road with the backup quarterback. Um. So

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, you push your chips in here.

0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 1>If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. But you come

0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.640
<v Speaker 1>back and say, what did we do this year? Well,

0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.600
<v Speaker 1>we had a pretty good talented team. We let some

0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:02.480
<v Speaker 1>guys go in free agency, but we also signed Peters

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 1>when Tyron Smith went down, We signed Anthony Barr, We

0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:09.400
<v Speaker 1>signed if that happens Odell Beckham. We went for it,

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.479
<v Speaker 1>and and that's all I think that from a fan's perspective,

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.840
<v Speaker 1>that's all they really want, is like, let's go for it. Yeah,

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>we always talk about next year and all that. You

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 1>still have to look it next year, but let's go

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.600
<v Speaker 1>for this. Um. Everyone deserves it. This team deserves it,

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.640
<v Speaker 1>this fan base deserves it. You know, the Dallas Skyways

0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:27.440
<v Speaker 1>dot Com deserves it. I mean, like we deserve it.

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's go for it. Let's go for it. We all

0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 1>deserve deserve it. Let's I mean, at least try try.

0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:37.040
<v Speaker 1>And it looks like they are so Yeah, that's good.

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.199
<v Speaker 1>And at least it's something that even if it doesn't

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.839
<v Speaker 1>work out, we know they tried. So and I think

0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:44.480
<v Speaker 1>that's one of the things like even when we look

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:48.640
<v Speaker 1>at free agency sometimes we feel we as the consumer,

0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:50.960
<v Speaker 1>the fan, the people that report on the team, we

0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 1>feel that they're not necessarily going for it or paying

0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.840
<v Speaker 1>the price, or like trying to obtain as much value

0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 1>talent wise, part the money terry stuff. Now, I wanted

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:05.880
<v Speaker 1>to switch subjects. I don't know if you were going

0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 1>to say something else about him, Okay, why don't you

0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.280
<v Speaker 1>go before we go on break, just kind of go

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 1>down the injury, the practice report from yesterday. Um, Donovo

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 1>went Wilson, he's limited, Yeah, you can relate me. Yeah, yeah,

0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:26.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm dealing with that as well. Um. I think for

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.760
<v Speaker 1>him though, it sounds like he's doing more. Him and

0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Noah Brown together, we're on that that we're limited, will

0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.040
<v Speaker 1>do a little bit more. And then, you know, I

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.480
<v Speaker 1>think that all signs are kind of pointing up for

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.680
<v Speaker 1>both of them, both of those two guys. So m yeah,

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 1>I didn't hurt anything anything on the contrary there, No,

0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I think the big one was what's going to happen

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:50.000
<v Speaker 1>with Zeke? You know, what's going to happen? And you know, yeah,

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:52.080
<v Speaker 1>see the thing about with the Zeke is and I

0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.200
<v Speaker 1>was it seemed like that there was Jerry Jones positivity,

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 1>hopium and then Mike McCarthy kind of brings it down.

0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.040
<v Speaker 1>I think Zeke is really honest about where he is.

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:03.160
<v Speaker 1>I think he is. I mean, Zeke is one of

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.760
<v Speaker 1>those guys I think after what he went through last year,

0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:08.599
<v Speaker 1>like listen, I just kept playing, I kept playing, I

0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 1>kept playing. I'm not going to do that anymore, you know.

0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he has a lot of pride about his

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.040
<v Speaker 1>toughness and all that. I think today is a really

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 1>big day for him. You know, he didn't do as much.

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.440
<v Speaker 1>See if what he does today and if he doesn't

0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:24.280
<v Speaker 1>do more than what he did yesterday, and it doesn't,

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.319
<v Speaker 1>there could be a really good chance that he doesn't

0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.600
<v Speaker 1>play this week. And because they realize what's ahead of

0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:32.679
<v Speaker 1>them the next two weeks Minnesota and then a quick

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 1>one against the Giants, they're looking at that like, Okay,

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.160
<v Speaker 1>if we can find a way to get through this

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Packers game, maybe without him like they did the Bears game,

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 1>and give him that full three weeks of rest, then

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:46.959
<v Speaker 1>they'll be better off when they play the Vikings in

0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Minneapolis next weekend and then the Giants at home the

0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.959
<v Speaker 1>following Thursday night, which will be a huge, huge game

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:57.600
<v Speaker 1>for how maybe maybe even wildcard seating might be sure.

0:12:57.800 --> 0:12:59.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, So you got to think about those things

0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:03.319
<v Speaker 1>going forward, and and if if he doesn't have if

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.440
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't it, I was told it has to be

0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:10.439
<v Speaker 1>perfect today and if it's not, then we'll see him

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 1>probably being active this weekend. Well, we're gonna talk about

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:17.679
<v Speaker 1>him in the second segment about the not him specifically,

0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:22.680
<v Speaker 1>but the running back running back situation, and if a

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.760
<v Speaker 1>guy like Tony Polar can performed the way that he

0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.640
<v Speaker 1>did like he did against the Bears, can he repeats

0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:33.079
<v Speaker 1>something like that against Packers defense? And real quick, I mean,

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.520
<v Speaker 1>yesterday we already talked about Anthony Barr in his situation.

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 1>He didn't practice yesterday, so he sounds doubtful today. Listen

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 1>to Mike McCarthy talk. Yeah, he sounds a little bit

0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.080
<v Speaker 1>doubtful for what's going to happen with him. And like

0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Nick said, you know, he's going to anchor that thing

0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.960
<v Speaker 1>or get anchor. He's gonna get himself ready to get

0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.200
<v Speaker 1>ready for that Minnesota game next week. That's probably what

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.320
<v Speaker 1>he's shooting for right now. Well, in real quick, did you?

0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean? I keep finding an interesting the situation with

0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.160
<v Speaker 1>James Washington and kind of the way he explained things

0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.800
<v Speaker 1>that you're kind of looking at. It sounds like he's

0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:08.400
<v Speaker 1>ready to return, but they're planning his twenty one window.

0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I think this has to do with I think this

0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:15.200
<v Speaker 1>has to do with Odell Beckham myself. I do. I

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.080
<v Speaker 1>don't think they I do. I think like if they

0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:21.120
<v Speaker 1>get Beckham, they're gonna they're gonna slow play this thing

0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:24.200
<v Speaker 1>out the rest of the way unless something happens with

0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.600
<v Speaker 1>another injury, like a Noah Brown injury or something like that.

0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I have a feeling they're not in a big hurry

0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 1>right now. They're gonna see what happens with Beckham. If

0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Beckham ends up going somewhere else or just they don't

0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 1>get him, you'll see the James Washington windows start. You know,

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I think James Washington and Odell Beckham are on the

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 1>same plan. I really really do. Yeah, they get one

0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:50.120
<v Speaker 1>the other one kind of you know, like if it's Washington,

0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.680
<v Speaker 1>they slow play that, and you know they keep him

0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 1>over here, available and ready. If in fact, Beckham goes,

0:14:57.600 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 1>then you see the windows start. That's what I think

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.000
<v Speaker 1>is gonna happen. I think so too. It was it

0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 1>just seemed kind of weird the way McCarthy kind of

0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.160
<v Speaker 1>talked about that in the window and like, oh, you know,

0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:09.760
<v Speaker 1>you want him to just come out, You want him

0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:11.920
<v Speaker 1>to come out and say, listen, we're hunting Beckham right now.

0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:16.080
<v Speaker 1>If he doesn't sign, we got James Washington. If if

0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.520
<v Speaker 1>he if he signs, good, we'll be fine. We'll just

0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.680
<v Speaker 1>keep James. He's getting paid everybody's happy. He's ready to go.

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.320
<v Speaker 1>He's on you know, he's it's like the movie Top Gun.

0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:26.920
<v Speaker 1>He's over on Kat Too, ready to shoot off the

0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.440
<v Speaker 1>deck in case they need some battle action up there.

0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:31.240
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. They got they got Yeah,

0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:34.400
<v Speaker 1>they got my guy in Kat Too, Kat Too, right,

0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean they're holding wait Kat Too. You know in

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:41.080
<v Speaker 1>both movies the hero was was that the cat Too guy? Yeah,

0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:43.520
<v Speaker 1>the guy that was hanging out there at the end. Yeah, exactly.

0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:45.360
<v Speaker 1>If I spoiled the movie for you, I mean, that's

0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 1>your fault. You should have watched it by now. All right,

0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:54.120
<v Speaker 1>So who's Kat Too? James Washington, James Washington, James, They've got,

0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.280
<v Speaker 1>They've they've got. They're they're thinking they're gonna fire. They're

0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna put Odell in the in the action, you know,

0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.280
<v Speaker 1>and and fight and then but they got James Washington

0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Cat Too, and he might have to come save the day.

0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 1>You never know, Amy, I mean, we won't know until

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:09.720
<v Speaker 1>we see it happen. And if he would be the

0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.040
<v Speaker 1>guy to save they or not, I don't know. But

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.240
<v Speaker 1>let's go to break. When we come back, we'll get

0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:17.120
<v Speaker 1>into Cowboys offense versus Green bay thief. We'll do that.

0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.800
<v Speaker 1>cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought

0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.720
<v Speaker 1>online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.440
<v Speaker 1>faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 1>But the good news is Todd has AT and T

0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.560
<v Speaker 1>five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:36.760

0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:54.960
<v Speaker 1>talk about what Green Bay has over there, the defensive

0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:57.280
<v Speaker 1>side of it. Yeah, this is gonna be uh you

0:18:57.280 --> 0:18:59.720
<v Speaker 1>know the things I worry about on the offensive side,

0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.320
<v Speaker 1>talked about all yesterday. Go back and listen to that.

0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I think running the ball is something I was talking

0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:06.320
<v Speaker 1>to some guys in Green Bay about it this morning.

0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:08.600
<v Speaker 1>They're like, listen, you guys are gonna kill us. I'm like,

0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:10.600
<v Speaker 1>you don't know that. Don't say that kind of a

0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.760
<v Speaker 1>thing where they they feel like that they're the middle

0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:16.040
<v Speaker 1>of the road defense right now. They felt like that

0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:20.359
<v Speaker 1>they they they've invested in the defense. But to the

0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:25.320
<v Speaker 1>point where they haven't got the results that they really

0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:28.480
<v Speaker 1>felt like that they deserve for their investment. They still

0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:32.800
<v Speaker 1>have a really good I think. I think. I think

0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:36.000
<v Speaker 1>losing Gary their defensive end, I think really hurts them.

0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Or shot Gary. You know, he's number fifty two. He

0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:42.520
<v Speaker 1>was their best pass rusher. He's the guy that's always

0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:46.480
<v Speaker 1>around the ball. He's really good against the run. He's disruptive,

0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:50.160
<v Speaker 1>he gets up the field. He's got some tank. Micah

0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:53.399
<v Speaker 1>Parsons foul, he's got that how the Cowboys played defensive end.

0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:55.880
<v Speaker 1>He's got that kind of ability, you know, like as

0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:58.000
<v Speaker 1>a good run player, and it is a good as

0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:00.480
<v Speaker 1>a good pass rusher. And I think that something that

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:05.040
<v Speaker 1>they're really really gonna miss Preston Smith and they got

0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.080
<v Speaker 1>from the Redskins a while back at me said the

0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Redskins the Commanders a while back. Uh. He he is

0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.200
<v Speaker 1>a guy that I think does a much better job

0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:19.040
<v Speaker 1>of playing the run. And the problem is when you

0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:21.920
<v Speaker 1>run the ball at him, he's really good as far

0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:25.120
<v Speaker 1>as not letting the ball get outside of him. When

0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:28.200
<v Speaker 1>you when you look at how he plays, he's got

0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:31.400
<v Speaker 1>really good length. Uh, he's good at the point of attack.

0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:34.240
<v Speaker 1>He can extend on blockers. When the ball goes to

0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:37.480
<v Speaker 1>the outside. There's times where you could see the redirection

0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:41.680
<v Speaker 1>skills and stuff. So running the ball at his side,

0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:44.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's though necessarily the best thing to

0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:48.080
<v Speaker 1>do here. This defense is going to remind you very

0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:52.080
<v Speaker 1>similar to how the defense is played when they faced

0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:55.080
<v Speaker 1>the Rams. Okay, so if you think about how the

0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys attacked the Rams, it wasn't so much it was

0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Cooper Rush. It wasn't just throwing the football. It was

0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:04.439
<v Speaker 1>more of the running game stuff. And I feel like

0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:07.240
<v Speaker 1>that that's that's where that's some of the some of

0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:09.600
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys game plan is going to come from that

0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Rams game with the way how they did that. You know,

0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:16.239
<v Speaker 1>and they obviously don't have an Aaron Donald they had been.

0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Preston Smith is their version of it, even not as good.

0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:23.320
<v Speaker 1>But Kenny Clark is good inside as a defensive tackle

0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:25.080
<v Speaker 1>for them. That's something you have to come to think

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:27.000
<v Speaker 1>about him and jarn Reid. When I think of the

0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Rams too, I also think of they have a guy

0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:31.959
<v Speaker 1>that really can lock down your number one in corner

0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:37.560
<v Speaker 1>and Jalen Ramsey. Yeah, the Packers have somebody like that. Yeah, Alexander, Alexander, Yeah,

0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Jar Exilier, it can do that. Now. The thing about

0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:42.720
<v Speaker 1>it is, though, if you look at if you if

0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:47.520
<v Speaker 1>you look at Joe Barry, the defensive coordinator um for

0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:52.080
<v Speaker 1>the Packers, Joe is not a big travel guy because

0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Joe he comes from that the Rod Marinelli's system of defense,

0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:00.840
<v Speaker 1>and so he's kind of morphed in some three four

0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:03.280
<v Speaker 1>stuff away from the four to three. But he's kind of,

0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:06.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's trying to match personnel or match his

0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:10.280
<v Speaker 1>scheme with the personnel that he has forever. You know,

0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Dom Capers was part of the they were three four

0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:17.879
<v Speaker 1>three four scheme, and so they have that personnel and

0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:20.200
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to kind of morph into more of a

0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:24.439
<v Speaker 1>four three. But he doesn't believe in traveling because he

0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:28.680
<v Speaker 1>feels like when you take a traveler, whether it's Alexander

0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:31.960
<v Speaker 1>and you and say they move lamb, say they just

0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:35.560
<v Speaker 1>walk lamb all across. The minute he crosses the center,

0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:39.879
<v Speaker 1>then all of a sudden, everybody else's responsibilities change. Joe Barry,

0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Rod Marinelli, these guys have always believed that keep everybody

0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:47.640
<v Speaker 1>the same and that way nobody has to make adjustments

0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:51.000
<v Speaker 1>on the fly, so you'll see Alexander. He will play

0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:53.080
<v Speaker 1>different size. But it's not one of those things where

0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:55.840
<v Speaker 1>it's like star coverage that they're going to walk in

0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:58.239
<v Speaker 1>with ceedee lamb the whole time. I don't believe. And

0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:00.560
<v Speaker 1>that being said, and I know I say this a lot,

0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:02.880
<v Speaker 1>but I just I don't think you can reiterate it enough.

0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:06.280
<v Speaker 1>That's why Anthony Brown should get a lot more credit

0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:09.840
<v Speaker 1>than he gets because it is. It is tough. And

0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:13.400
<v Speaker 1>when Trayvon is traveling, so is Anthony Brown. He's traveling

0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:16.199
<v Speaker 1>as well, and he's doing he's making changes in the

0:23:16.320 --> 0:23:18.639
<v Speaker 1>in the corners when Jordan Lewis or now it's Bland

0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:20.760
<v Speaker 1>or whoever you know. And so I think you got

0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to give the whole secondary some praise for that. Yes,

0:23:24.440 --> 0:23:27.000
<v Speaker 1>give praise to Digs for being good enough to actually

0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:30.280
<v Speaker 1>take their number one, but you know, technique inside of

0:23:30.280 --> 0:23:32.600
<v Speaker 1>the field and all that matters. And for Anthony Brown

0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:34.320
<v Speaker 1>and those guys to flip around like that, I think

0:23:34.359 --> 0:23:36.919
<v Speaker 1>they should be applauded for that as well. Yeah. They

0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:42.000
<v Speaker 1>you make a great point there with that. In the secondary. Uh,

0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Like I say, I'd stay away from Alexander is what

0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:47.359
<v Speaker 1>I would try to do. He's one of these guys

0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:50.399
<v Speaker 1>that when you watch him play, if the ball is

0:23:50.440 --> 0:23:52.760
<v Speaker 1>going to his side, say you have a route combination

0:23:52.840 --> 0:23:56.440
<v Speaker 1>to his side, whether routes or working there, he will

0:23:56.600 --> 0:24:01.359
<v Speaker 1>drop coverage to go take another guy. I mean he will.

0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:04.480
<v Speaker 1>He will almost like he's reading, like he's gambling that Okay,

0:24:04.520 --> 0:24:06.720
<v Speaker 1>I see where you're gonna throw this football. I see

0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:09.600
<v Speaker 1>how the route combination is going to develop, and then

0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:13.040
<v Speaker 1>he will just fire off his guy and then like

0:24:13.280 --> 0:24:16.080
<v Speaker 1>undercut a route. You know, say there's a route two

0:24:16.160 --> 0:24:18.960
<v Speaker 1>routes to one side. He'll leave his guy to go

0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:21.240
<v Speaker 1>help the other guy and then try and make a

0:24:21.280 --> 0:24:23.680
<v Speaker 1>play on the ball. So you have to be Dak

0:24:23.760 --> 0:24:26.120
<v Speaker 1>can't sit there and think, Okay, I've got to throw.

0:24:26.119 --> 0:24:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I've got to throw. I've got to throw, and it's open.

0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:30.680
<v Speaker 1>He's got he has to understand that if you do

0:24:30.760 --> 0:24:32.919
<v Speaker 1>go to that side, and maybe the Cowboys with the

0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:36.879
<v Speaker 1>game plan, you try and keep things away from Alexander's

0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:39.440
<v Speaker 1>side so he can't come over and help. That's Jalen's

0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:44.000
<v Speaker 1>over for me. Yeah. If he's going to stay over there,

0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:46.560
<v Speaker 1>let him run down the field. Yeah, just keep I

0:24:46.560 --> 0:24:49.160
<v Speaker 1>mean anything to keep away from Alexander. Now, I will

0:24:49.200 --> 0:24:52.760
<v Speaker 1>say this about this secondary though they're a group, though

0:24:52.760 --> 0:24:55.800
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't I don't think they tackle Alexander tackle as well.

0:24:55.880 --> 0:24:59.119
<v Speaker 1>But when you talk about Amos the safety and Savage

0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:02.840
<v Speaker 1>the safety, there have been times where the ball running

0:25:02.840 --> 0:25:05.160
<v Speaker 1>the ball at them and they've been the one guy

0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:07.560
<v Speaker 1>in the hole to make the play and they've missed tackles.

0:25:08.160 --> 0:25:13.440
<v Speaker 1>So if you're Pollard's, if it's Pollard or Zeke gets

0:25:13.440 --> 0:25:16.200
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity in this game, there could be some miss

0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:18.960
<v Speaker 1>tackles at the point of attack and then turn into

0:25:19.000 --> 0:25:22.359
<v Speaker 1>some big plays because these safeties don't tackle particularly well.

0:25:22.720 --> 0:25:24.840
<v Speaker 1>If you're going to attack a guy on this thing,

0:25:25.280 --> 0:25:28.200
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned Rashul Douglas. He's a guy that I feel

0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:30.920
<v Speaker 1>like that people pick on him a little bit more

0:25:31.000 --> 0:25:33.560
<v Speaker 1>because of what goes on with Alexander and stuff. He's

0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:36.320
<v Speaker 1>number twenty nine, So if you see the Cowboys kind

0:25:36.320 --> 0:25:39.359
<v Speaker 1>of firing the ball his direction, there's a reason for

0:25:39.400 --> 0:25:43.160
<v Speaker 1>that because I feel like that between him, Eric Stokes

0:25:43.359 --> 0:25:47.199
<v Speaker 1>and Alexander, he's the weak link of this of that secondary.

0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:50.520
<v Speaker 1>And then I mentioned the tackling with Amilson Savage. I

0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:52.560
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's up to the standards that we've seen

0:25:52.720 --> 0:25:56.040
<v Speaker 1>here with the Cowboys, with the way that Curse and

0:25:56.080 --> 0:25:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Wilson and those guys tackle around the line of scrimmage.

0:25:59.040 --> 0:26:03.320
<v Speaker 1>So let's cut the offense Cowboys offense into two parts,

0:26:03.400 --> 0:26:06.320
<v Speaker 1>one the running game and then the passing game. Starting

0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:08.760
<v Speaker 1>off with the running game. Looking at what you got

0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:11.480
<v Speaker 1>and we know Zeke is day to day. If you

0:26:11.560 --> 0:26:15.480
<v Speaker 1>were the Cowboys, how would you prepare the running game

0:26:16.119 --> 0:26:19.560
<v Speaker 1>for this weekend? Do you play Zeke let's say he's

0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:23.119
<v Speaker 1>kind of okay to go and get in there, or

0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:25.719
<v Speaker 1>do you stick to kind of what you did against

0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:29.880
<v Speaker 1>the Bears? I think, to me, and after today, we'll

0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:32.479
<v Speaker 1>know Friday we come on and start talking about what

0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:34.679
<v Speaker 1>we think about the game. I think tomorrow will have

0:26:34.720 --> 0:26:36.960
<v Speaker 1>an idea of what direction that they're going to go.

0:26:37.280 --> 0:26:40.800
<v Speaker 1>If it's a if it's a Pollard Davis ticket for

0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:43.960
<v Speaker 1>this week, I think that's you know, they they proved

0:26:44.000 --> 0:26:46.320
<v Speaker 1>against the Bears that they can they can do that.

0:26:46.680 --> 0:26:49.360
<v Speaker 1>You know. I don't think there's I don't think there's

0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:53.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna huge just drop off there. I think the physicality

0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:56.159
<v Speaker 1>in this game. I think both teams are going to

0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:58.920
<v Speaker 1>try and establish the run. I think I think it's

0:26:59.040 --> 0:27:03.480
<v Speaker 1>really important for the Packers because they don't want to

0:27:03.480 --> 0:27:06.160
<v Speaker 1>get in a situation. They've had some problems with rogers

0:27:06.240 --> 0:27:09.160
<v Speaker 1>and protections and things like that. Even though they're offensive

0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:13.320
<v Speaker 1>lines back, so them running the ball protects them. Dallas

0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:16.200
<v Speaker 1>running the ball I think protects them as well. But

0:27:16.320 --> 0:27:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I think Dallas can be more balanced in this game.

0:27:19.240 --> 0:27:22.119
<v Speaker 1>Then I have to say, Okay, they're really bad playing

0:27:22.200 --> 0:27:24.680
<v Speaker 1>run defense. Just go run the ball as much as

0:27:24.680 --> 0:27:27.320
<v Speaker 1>you can. We've seen some games what Detroit, you know,

0:27:27.359 --> 0:27:29.760
<v Speaker 1>people like that, they're really bad on the run defense.

0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Just run it at him. You know you'll be fine.

0:27:32.280 --> 0:27:34.439
<v Speaker 1>I think Dallas can be balanced in this game. But

0:27:34.480 --> 0:27:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I think if it turns into like I said, if

0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:41.000
<v Speaker 1>it turns into Pollard and your rookie running back Mollek

0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:42.879
<v Speaker 1>Davis having to play, I think they could be okay

0:27:42.880 --> 0:27:45.240
<v Speaker 1>in this game. I really do. And as far as

0:27:45.280 --> 0:27:49.880
<v Speaker 1>the wide receiver group, Nick, we know, we know we're

0:27:49.880 --> 0:27:51.920
<v Speaker 1>still talking about it, and we know Noah Brown is

0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:54.560
<v Speaker 1>still banked up, he's limited. We don't know his tats

0:27:54.600 --> 0:27:57.320
<v Speaker 1>for this weekend yet. But as far as the group

0:27:57.720 --> 0:28:00.199
<v Speaker 1>as a whole, do you think do you feel they

0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:03.000
<v Speaker 1>can carry over what they did against the Bears, or

0:28:03.560 --> 0:28:05.239
<v Speaker 1>you know it's going to be a challenge. I think

0:28:05.240 --> 0:28:07.639
<v Speaker 1>it's a challenge, and I think there were light in

0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:09.960
<v Speaker 1>that game against the Bears. They did a nice job.

0:28:10.000 --> 0:28:12.959
<v Speaker 1>I mean the CD and Gallop, they both made plays

0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:15.439
<v Speaker 1>and Tolbert was kind of running around. Didn't do a

0:28:15.440 --> 0:28:18.520
<v Speaker 1>whole lot there. Turpin, we didn't see a lot out

0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:20.040
<v Speaker 1>of him. He was the fourth receiver. You know, they

0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:22.240
<v Speaker 1>had to put CJ. Goodwin in a situation where he

0:28:22.320 --> 0:28:25.320
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure he's practicing some receiver as well as

0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:27.240
<v Speaker 1>an emergency guy. So I think they would love to

0:28:27.240 --> 0:28:28.880
<v Speaker 1>have Noah Brown back if he can, if he can

0:28:28.880 --> 0:28:30.719
<v Speaker 1>make it back for this game, but if not, it

0:28:30.800 --> 0:28:34.120
<v Speaker 1>is a challenge where they where they kind of offset

0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:36.240
<v Speaker 1>that is with the tight ends. You know, with the

0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:40.240
<v Speaker 1>thirteen fourteen personnel. McEwen out there a lot. I guess

0:28:40.240 --> 0:28:41.920
<v Speaker 1>he's on the roster now so they don't have to

0:28:41.920 --> 0:28:44.680
<v Speaker 1>call up anybody. So that's how they're going to play it,

0:28:44.720 --> 0:28:46.920
<v Speaker 1>and I think that affects the running game, passing game.

0:28:47.080 --> 0:28:50.800
<v Speaker 1>It works because Hendershot and Ferguson are both athletic tight

0:28:50.920 --> 0:28:53.000
<v Speaker 1>ends where they can do some things with that. They

0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:55.120
<v Speaker 1>can stay in in block and not be in bad

0:28:55.200 --> 0:28:57.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, in harm's way. They also can go out

0:28:57.160 --> 0:29:00.200
<v Speaker 1>and win routes, you know. So that's what that's what

0:29:00.240 --> 0:29:03.120
<v Speaker 1>the advantage of a thirteen personnel does. Absolutely if you

0:29:03.160 --> 0:29:08.280
<v Speaker 1>can do both, absolutely, and to me with it turns

0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:10.520
<v Speaker 1>into and I don't think the wind is going to

0:29:10.600 --> 0:29:12.480
<v Speaker 1>be a factor in this game. But we've talked about

0:29:12.560 --> 0:29:15.760
<v Speaker 1>the field conditions. We've talked about Okay, is it going

0:29:15.800 --> 0:29:18.680
<v Speaker 1>to be one of those things get people going one way,

0:29:19.040 --> 0:29:21.320
<v Speaker 1>take the ball back the other way. The Cowboys have

0:29:21.400 --> 0:29:24.240
<v Speaker 1>done a great job those simple little passes, whether it's

0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:28.520
<v Speaker 1>to the Schultz, Hendershot whoever. You know, they found a

0:29:28.560 --> 0:29:31.680
<v Speaker 1>way with the boots, the waggles, especially if they get

0:29:31.680 --> 0:29:33.520
<v Speaker 1>the run game going in this thing and all of

0:29:33.560 --> 0:29:35.920
<v Speaker 1>a sudden Green Bays having to sell out to stop

0:29:35.960 --> 0:29:38.120
<v Speaker 1>the run and then you get a tight end coming

0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:41.480
<v Speaker 1>across and it's just an easy, simple throw. So I

0:29:41.920 --> 0:29:43.880
<v Speaker 1>think the tight ends are going to be big, big

0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:46.480
<v Speaker 1>factor in this game. It might not be because they say,

0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:50.400
<v Speaker 1>I think their best player on defense is their corner Alexander.

0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:52.960
<v Speaker 1>So I'm doing everything I can to stay away from him.

0:29:53.320 --> 0:29:55.960
<v Speaker 1>But if it means I can have to put Savage

0:29:55.960 --> 0:29:58.600
<v Speaker 1>and Amos and these linebackers and these guys in coverage

0:29:58.920 --> 0:30:01.280
<v Speaker 1>on these tight ends, and it's simple throws for Dak.

0:30:01.960 --> 0:30:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm doing that all day long. If they're

0:30:04.240 --> 0:30:06.720
<v Speaker 1>going to give it to me. All right, let's take

0:30:06.760 --> 0:30:09.240
<v Speaker 1>our final break. When we come back. We're going to

0:30:09.320 --> 0:30:13.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of summarize the you know, the weak areas for

0:30:13.600 --> 0:30:16.560
<v Speaker 1>this game and then the strongest part where the Cowboys

0:30:16.560 --> 0:30:19.440
<v Speaker 1>can the Cowboys offense can really take advantage, as well

0:30:19.440 --> 0:30:22.480
<v Speaker 1>as speak about this new environment that the Cowboys having

0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:27.960
<v Speaker 1>played ins yet this year. The season is finally here

0:30:28.240 --> 0:30:31.160

0:32:52.560 --> 0:32:54.760
<v Speaker 1>talk about the environment. This is something you know that

0:32:54.800 --> 0:32:58.400
<v Speaker 1>it's a completely different environment than what the Cowboys have

0:32:58.920 --> 0:33:02.480
<v Speaker 1>faced this year so far. You know, we're headed into

0:33:02.560 --> 0:33:05.800
<v Speaker 1>cold weather now. The climate is starting to change, and

0:33:05.840 --> 0:33:08.920
<v Speaker 1>we haven't seen this team and we know how that affects.

0:33:08.920 --> 0:33:12.560
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I think about players like Zeke for example,

0:33:12.640 --> 0:33:16.160
<v Speaker 1>players are struggling with a certain type of injury. When

0:33:16.160 --> 0:33:19.400
<v Speaker 1>you talk about them possibly playing in this game, we

0:33:19.480 --> 0:33:22.440
<v Speaker 1>know how that cold weather kind of gives you a

0:33:22.480 --> 0:33:25.080
<v Speaker 1>different kind of pain in those types of injuries. So

0:33:25.360 --> 0:33:27.280
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to ask you, are there any types

0:33:27.320 --> 0:33:31.080
<v Speaker 1>of concern that you expect from the Cowboys side of

0:33:31.560 --> 0:33:34.320
<v Speaker 1>them dealing or struggling with I'm looking at the weather

0:33:34.440 --> 0:33:37.720
<v Speaker 1>right now and it's just like thanks. I mean, it's

0:33:37.760 --> 0:33:42.440
<v Speaker 1>seventy degrees right now in Green Bay, and tomorrow the

0:33:42.520 --> 0:33:46.000
<v Speaker 1>high is fifty two, and then Saturday the high is

0:33:46.040 --> 0:33:49.240
<v Speaker 1>thirty seven, and Sunday the highs thirty seven. So today's

0:33:49.280 --> 0:33:53.840
<v Speaker 1>the highest seventy three. So we appreciate it, you know,

0:33:53.960 --> 0:33:56.240
<v Speaker 1>thanks for doing that for us so we can get

0:33:56.240 --> 0:33:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the experience. But I will say this, it's not like

0:33:59.360 --> 0:34:01.600
<v Speaker 1>from a practice standpoint, It's not like where all the

0:34:01.600 --> 0:34:03.479
<v Speaker 1>packers are used to it. They should be used to

0:34:03.520 --> 0:34:07.240
<v Speaker 1>it in the last few years, but they're not going

0:34:07.320 --> 0:34:08.680
<v Speaker 1>to be used to it like right now. I mean,

0:34:08.719 --> 0:34:11.400
<v Speaker 1>they haven't been practicing and it's seventy degrees. It's probably

0:34:11.440 --> 0:34:15.680
<v Speaker 1>seventy degrees here. Yeah, they're practicing. I'm probably practicing outside. Yeah,

0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:18.279
<v Speaker 1>So you know that I think that's kind of one

0:34:18.280 --> 0:34:21.040
<v Speaker 1>of those things that they're probably enjoying it. Because I

0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:23.759
<v Speaker 1>remember living up there for five years. Around Halloween it

0:34:23.880 --> 0:34:26.120
<v Speaker 1>started the snow, you know, that's when it's starting to

0:34:26.120 --> 0:34:28.360
<v Speaker 1>get kind of crazy cold. I just don't think that.

0:34:28.360 --> 0:34:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the cold will be a factor. I

0:34:31.200 --> 0:34:33.120
<v Speaker 1>think you'll be interesting when when you guys get there

0:34:33.200 --> 0:34:35.680
<v Speaker 1>with when we talk to Christie Scales in the pregame

0:34:35.719 --> 0:34:37.840
<v Speaker 1>and which she's on the field, and the wind direction,

0:34:37.920 --> 0:34:40.759
<v Speaker 1>and that stadium's changed a lot since they've built it up.

0:34:40.880 --> 0:34:42.759
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's the bowl that you know, when I

0:34:42.800 --> 0:34:44.759
<v Speaker 1>first started there ninety two, it was a bowl, and

0:34:44.760 --> 0:34:46.920
<v Speaker 1>then we then they put up the you know, they

0:34:46.960 --> 0:34:49.719
<v Speaker 1>started put up the press box and then the skyboxes,

0:34:49.760 --> 0:34:52.240
<v Speaker 1>and then they closed it in, and so the wind

0:34:52.400 --> 0:34:54.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe not as much as a factor. I think the

0:34:54.880 --> 0:34:58.080
<v Speaker 1>only thing about it is too that I could say

0:34:58.120 --> 0:35:02.200
<v Speaker 1>the field conditions, because that when you get obviously at

0:35:02.239 --> 0:35:05.919
<v Speaker 1>seventy degrees right now, you're getting like warm air up there,

0:35:06.200 --> 0:35:08.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, and then the warm air turns cold, and

0:35:08.440 --> 0:35:10.120
<v Speaker 1>then all of a sudden it turns it gets on

0:35:10.160 --> 0:35:12.640
<v Speaker 1>the field, and when you play these three twenty five

0:35:12.680 --> 0:35:15.800
<v Speaker 1>games or night games, you'll be able to see the field.

0:35:15.840 --> 0:35:18.359
<v Speaker 1>It's not like ice, but it's a sheen to it.

0:35:18.640 --> 0:35:21.920
<v Speaker 1>And if you don't have the right shoes, it's a problem.

0:35:22.080 --> 0:35:24.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you will see, like I guarantee you in

0:35:24.880 --> 0:35:26.640
<v Speaker 1>this game, there'll be somebody that runs a route and

0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:28.920
<v Speaker 1>falls and it might be an interception, or it might

0:35:28.920 --> 0:35:30.560
<v Speaker 1>be a tip ball, or it might be a key

0:35:30.600 --> 0:35:33.200
<v Speaker 1>play that gets you off the field on third down

0:35:33.360 --> 0:35:36.880
<v Speaker 1>because somebody fell down. And that's the thing about with

0:35:37.640 --> 0:35:39.719
<v Speaker 1>when you're play in Green Bay this time of year

0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:43.359
<v Speaker 1>is that it's not really it's not to the point

0:35:43.440 --> 0:35:45.360
<v Speaker 1>it's not that bitter cold. When you get late in

0:35:45.360 --> 0:35:50.399
<v Speaker 1>the season near you know, near the after Christmas, that's

0:35:50.400 --> 0:35:52.720
<v Speaker 1>what it turns into. You're dealing with a nineteen degree

0:35:52.800 --> 0:35:55.360
<v Speaker 1>day or a twenty degree day or something like that.

0:35:55.440 --> 0:35:58.160
<v Speaker 1>And that you know, if you've listened to McCarthy's press conferences,

0:35:58.200 --> 0:36:02.319
<v Speaker 1>he's talked about cleats about five, five or six times,

0:36:02.360 --> 0:36:04.920
<v Speaker 1>like if anybody has an issue like that, wearing the

0:36:04.960 --> 0:36:07.799
<v Speaker 1>wrong shoes and all, that's that's on them because they

0:36:08.080 --> 0:36:11.040
<v Speaker 1>they have been prepared for this. Uh. He you know,

0:36:11.120 --> 0:36:14.320
<v Speaker 1>he he knows what this stadium, obviously in the grass

0:36:14.400 --> 0:36:16.240
<v Speaker 1>is like and I think of a guy like Turpin

0:36:16.600 --> 0:36:18.840
<v Speaker 1>who wants to play fast, wants to be you know.

0:36:18.880 --> 0:36:20.960
<v Speaker 1>He actually if you go back and look at that,

0:36:21.000 --> 0:36:24.360
<v Speaker 1>and I know you did that opening kickoff against the Eagles,

0:36:25.080 --> 0:36:27.960
<v Speaker 1>it's probably a touchdown. Yeah, he's he trips, you know.

0:36:28.080 --> 0:36:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Now that's big thick grass. He's maybe not used to

0:36:30.840 --> 0:36:34.279
<v Speaker 1>play in. He saw something, he made a cut and

0:36:34.320 --> 0:36:35.960
<v Speaker 1>he did it later in the game too that they

0:36:35.960 --> 0:36:38.400
<v Speaker 1>got a big run. But that might have been to

0:36:38.520 --> 0:36:40.879
<v Speaker 1>the house to start that game. How how different could

0:36:40.920 --> 0:36:43.560
<v Speaker 1>that have been? Um, but he tripped up and whatever.

0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:46.640
<v Speaker 1>And so sometimes it is it's footing and McCarthy's doing it.

0:36:46.680 --> 0:36:48.359
<v Speaker 1>I think he's doing a good job of letting them

0:36:48.400 --> 0:36:50.799
<v Speaker 1>know that, you know, just the other things that you

0:36:50.800 --> 0:36:52.440
<v Speaker 1>have to deal with in a game like this. It's

0:36:52.520 --> 0:36:55.239
<v Speaker 1>two thy fourteen, the last it's the playoff game, the

0:36:55.320 --> 0:36:59.280
<v Speaker 1>last time they've been up there. Uh oh, no, sixteen

0:36:59.400 --> 0:37:02.359
<v Speaker 1>da when it's Yeah, So I was thinking because when

0:37:02.360 --> 0:37:04.319
<v Speaker 1>we went up there in fourteen for that playoff game,

0:37:04.800 --> 0:37:07.160
<v Speaker 1>the field was completely just and it was a really

0:37:07.200 --> 0:37:09.520
<v Speaker 1>warm day. It was it was a temperature was like

0:37:09.560 --> 0:37:12.319
<v Speaker 1>in the high twenties for that time of year. Yeah,

0:37:12.360 --> 0:37:16.360
<v Speaker 1>let's clarify what warm days well for Lambeau Field, for

0:37:16.400 --> 0:37:18.719
<v Speaker 1>lambou Field, for Lambo Field a playoff game, because I

0:37:18.880 --> 0:37:21.839
<v Speaker 1>remember watching the game from the from the field, but

0:37:22.000 --> 0:37:23.880
<v Speaker 1>the field was chopped up. Yeah, but of your a

0:37:23.880 --> 0:37:26.239
<v Speaker 1>lot of layers that you had on. I had way

0:37:26.280 --> 0:37:29.760
<v Speaker 1>too many layers you You couldn't have been moved around

0:37:29.800 --> 0:37:32.000
<v Speaker 1>like that day like you were like layered up. I

0:37:32.360 --> 0:37:35.200
<v Speaker 1>was so layered up. And but it was a for

0:37:35.400 --> 0:37:38.680
<v Speaker 1>that time of year. It was an unusually warm day.

0:37:39.239 --> 0:37:41.640
<v Speaker 1>It was not one of those brutal days that it

0:37:41.680 --> 0:37:43.719
<v Speaker 1>wasn't like that day in Chicago that we endured that

0:37:43.840 --> 0:37:46.120
<v Speaker 1>night game in Chicago that we endured that one time.

0:37:46.600 --> 0:37:49.120
<v Speaker 1>But but but I think now for this time, yeah,

0:37:49.120 --> 0:37:50.960
<v Speaker 1>you'll catch your break. Let's see what the wind is.

0:37:51.360 --> 0:37:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Just note the field, and I think Mike McCarthy's on.

0:37:53.960 --> 0:37:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Then I think that's the good thing. And I think

0:37:55.640 --> 0:37:58.279
<v Speaker 1>that helps. And maybe it might be a situation too.

0:37:58.320 --> 0:38:00.400
<v Speaker 1>You might be worried about Zeke and stuff uff like

0:38:00.400 --> 0:38:02.920
<v Speaker 1>that with the knee. Do you want him running on

0:38:02.960 --> 0:38:05.080
<v Speaker 1>that turf that tends to be a little slippery on

0:38:05.160 --> 0:38:08.640
<v Speaker 1>those three twenty five games. Now, to summarize and going

0:38:08.680 --> 0:38:11.960
<v Speaker 1>back to the conversations we were having in the second segment.

0:38:12.200 --> 0:38:14.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, you'd mentioned a lot of their players, saying,

0:38:14.880 --> 0:38:17.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of the guys that struggle, the guys are the

0:38:17.719 --> 0:38:21.360
<v Speaker 1>most talented ones on that group. If you were to

0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:24.319
<v Speaker 1>look at this matchup, and I started with you, Nick,

0:38:25.560 --> 0:38:28.719
<v Speaker 1>which would be the area that the Cowboys can take

0:38:28.760 --> 0:38:32.719
<v Speaker 1>the most advantage? To me, I think that they're gonna

0:38:32.760 --> 0:38:34.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think their strength is going to be

0:38:34.719 --> 0:38:37.040
<v Speaker 1>running the football, and I think I think running into

0:38:37.080 --> 0:38:40.320
<v Speaker 1>the outside, outside in you know. But but Pollard, I

0:38:40.360 --> 0:38:42.359
<v Speaker 1>think they found something there. I don't think this is

0:38:42.400 --> 0:38:45.480
<v Speaker 1>just something like, oh, Zeke, Zeke was out, Poulard had

0:38:45.520 --> 0:38:47.720
<v Speaker 1>a big game. I think they're they're kind of seeing

0:38:47.760 --> 0:38:49.680
<v Speaker 1>something a little bit, and whether they want to admit

0:38:49.760 --> 0:38:52.000
<v Speaker 1>it or not, I do think it's a situation where

0:38:52.040 --> 0:38:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Pollard deserves more carries. He deserves some inside runs as well,

0:38:56.400 --> 0:38:58.680
<v Speaker 1>because he can he can break from the outside. But

0:38:58.800 --> 0:39:01.640
<v Speaker 1>I think him on the outside is gonna be big.

0:39:02.360 --> 0:39:04.640
<v Speaker 1>But I think just running the ball. If Zeke doesn't play,

0:39:04.640 --> 0:39:06.719
<v Speaker 1>I think the league Davis could have some success. Now,

0:39:06.800 --> 0:39:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Nick's right about this, this team, when you play a

0:39:08.640 --> 0:39:10.920
<v Speaker 1>three to four front, it's we always talk about the

0:39:10.960 --> 0:39:12.919
<v Speaker 1>two gaps where you extend and look for the ball

0:39:12.960 --> 0:39:16.360
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that. This line, defensive line tends to

0:39:16.400 --> 0:39:19.319
<v Speaker 1>catch blocks. I mean when I mean catch, it's like

0:39:19.600 --> 0:39:22.200
<v Speaker 1>instead of firing in and controlling and getting off blocks,

0:39:22.239 --> 0:39:24.640
<v Speaker 1>they tend to get to you and then they're catching you,

0:39:25.560 --> 0:39:27.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, into their body and then they're trying to

0:39:28.040 --> 0:39:29.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of find things. And I think that's where it

0:39:29.880 --> 0:39:32.840
<v Speaker 1>gives the Cowboys avanage. Especially what we've seen off the

0:39:32.920 --> 0:39:36.760
<v Speaker 1>right side with Martin and Steel together and then even

0:39:36.760 --> 0:39:39.839
<v Speaker 1>with Beyondish at the center. They've done a good job.

0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:43.120
<v Speaker 1>But when that ball comes off that right side, whether

0:39:43.160 --> 0:39:45.880
<v Speaker 1>it's the scoops or the reaches or whatever they have

0:39:45.920 --> 0:39:47.640
<v Speaker 1>to do or they put when those tight ends over

0:39:47.680 --> 0:39:50.800
<v Speaker 1>there and block, they've gotten some push. And Pollard and

0:39:50.840 --> 0:39:52.920
<v Speaker 1>those guys have done a good job of when they

0:39:52.960 --> 0:39:55.400
<v Speaker 1>see a cut to go ahead and make that cut.

0:39:55.920 --> 0:39:58.520
<v Speaker 1>So I think I think Nick's right. I think running

0:39:58.560 --> 0:40:00.399
<v Speaker 1>the ball would be a good thing against you guys,

0:40:00.480 --> 0:40:03.120
<v Speaker 1>and going without the way they play defense. Do you

0:40:03.200 --> 0:40:05.880
<v Speaker 1>think this is a scenario where you could see Dak

0:40:06.080 --> 0:40:09.920
<v Speaker 1>running the ball somewhat, I mean kind of similar to

0:40:10.000 --> 0:40:11.680
<v Speaker 1>what we saw a couple of weeks ago, but him

0:40:11.719 --> 0:40:15.279
<v Speaker 1>kind of whin, you know, using that his legs a

0:40:15.280 --> 0:40:17.560
<v Speaker 1>little more. Do you feel that, man, I'll tell you

0:40:17.560 --> 0:40:19.720
<v Speaker 1>what I watched last week. I know you guys were

0:40:19.760 --> 0:40:21.640
<v Speaker 1>everybody was doing their own things and stuff. Like I

0:40:21.680 --> 0:40:23.799
<v Speaker 1>sat down for the first time I got to watch. Well,

0:40:23.840 --> 0:40:26.880
<v Speaker 1>we've seen what Fields did with the bear, and then

0:40:26.920 --> 0:40:29.880
<v Speaker 1>you watch him the next week against the Dolphins, and

0:40:30.360 --> 0:40:32.839
<v Speaker 1>what a fact. Now they didn't win the game, but

0:40:33.000 --> 0:40:35.560
<v Speaker 1>these running quarterbacks, you sit down, you watch the red

0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:38.560
<v Speaker 1>zone channel, these running quarterbacks, and you even have to

0:40:38.560 --> 0:40:40.719
<v Speaker 1>worry about that a little bit. With Aaron Rodgers, Like

0:40:40.760 --> 0:40:42.719
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, you're playing man coverage and you

0:40:42.760 --> 0:40:45.240
<v Speaker 1>get out of your lane and he takes off running

0:40:45.320 --> 0:40:47.800
<v Speaker 1>and he kind of he runs, he looks, he runs,

0:40:47.840 --> 0:40:50.080
<v Speaker 1>he looks, he runs, and then he slides down, you know,

0:40:50.160 --> 0:40:53.640
<v Speaker 1>and then it's a first down. And these running quarterbacks

0:40:53.719 --> 0:40:57.040
<v Speaker 1>that have been able to take advantage, you know of

0:40:57.719 --> 0:41:00.440
<v Speaker 1>when you play man coverage and you get out lane

0:41:00.520 --> 0:41:03.400
<v Speaker 1>and they take off running. I mean Gino Smith in

0:41:03.480 --> 0:41:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Seattle watching that game, drops back pressures all over, it

0:41:07.560 --> 0:41:09.920
<v Speaker 1>runs and now it's like an eighteen yard game and

0:41:09.920 --> 0:41:12.480
<v Speaker 1>you're just you know, You're like, damn, how did that happen?

0:41:12.560 --> 0:41:14.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, well, it happened because you're playing a man

0:41:14.239 --> 0:41:17.160
<v Speaker 1>coverage and you get out of your lanes. So yeah,

0:41:17.200 --> 0:41:19.759
<v Speaker 1>if if Dad can, it's gonna be one of those

0:41:19.800 --> 0:41:24.320
<v Speaker 1>games were they're gonna need plays those twenty sixteen the

0:41:24.480 --> 0:41:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Lucky Whitehead Jet sweep. You know that they're gonna need breaks,

0:41:28.719 --> 0:41:32.520
<v Speaker 1>uh David Herbott punching the ball out or or Rogers

0:41:32.560 --> 0:41:34.920
<v Speaker 1>just dropping the snap out near the goal line. You

0:41:34.920 --> 0:41:37.120
<v Speaker 1>know they're gonna need that kind of play. I know

0:41:37.200 --> 0:41:41.360
<v Speaker 1>that the Packers records bad, but I feel like that

0:41:41.440 --> 0:41:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers wants to beat They could They could beat

0:41:45.120 --> 0:41:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Dallas this week and turn around and lose to Tennessee

0:41:47.200 --> 0:41:49.880
<v Speaker 1>the next week. That's how this Packard team could be.

0:41:50.360 --> 0:41:52.279
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like that Aaron Rodgers is going to

0:41:52.360 --> 0:41:54.839
<v Speaker 1>make this a personal game. Yeah. I think he's going

0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:57.200
<v Speaker 1>to make it personal that he does not want to

0:41:57.239 --> 0:42:00.400
<v Speaker 1>lose to Mike McCarthy, I really And that's what's scares

0:42:00.480 --> 0:42:03.359
<v Speaker 1>me to death right now. And and he's got that

0:42:03.480 --> 0:42:05.880
<v Speaker 1>ability he's going to control the game as the quarterback.

0:42:06.200 --> 0:42:08.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, I know I was running around there with

0:42:08.200 --> 0:42:10.840
<v Speaker 1>that whole thing, but the Cowboys have ten ten assistants

0:42:10.840 --> 0:42:13.919
<v Speaker 1>and a head coach and nine other assistants that want

0:42:13.960 --> 0:42:15.920
<v Speaker 1>to make it personal as well, but they don't control

0:42:16.200 --> 0:42:19.040
<v Speaker 1>the game like like Rogers has. So yeah he's look bad,

0:42:19.280 --> 0:42:21.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah he's looked bad at times. Really, where I think

0:42:21.840 --> 0:42:24.440
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys though, where this is where I think the

0:42:24.480 --> 0:42:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys are going to have another big advantage is is

0:42:27.560 --> 0:42:30.840
<v Speaker 1>that their corners can cover their guys. I think you

0:42:30.920 --> 0:42:33.120
<v Speaker 1>can just cover them. They don't have to to do

0:42:33.160 --> 0:42:35.759
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot of extra things. And then that's what

0:42:35.880 --> 0:42:38.520
<v Speaker 1>allows them to go and run in Parsons to rush

0:42:38.600 --> 0:42:41.000
<v Speaker 1>and those guys to do what they do because I

0:42:41.040 --> 0:42:44.080
<v Speaker 1>think I think whoever is at Lazard whatever, I think

0:42:44.160 --> 0:42:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Digs can can cover him, and I think Brown can

0:42:46.239 --> 0:42:47.719
<v Speaker 1>cover the other side. And I don't think they have

0:42:47.760 --> 0:42:50.280
<v Speaker 1>to compromise what they do in the in the secondary

0:42:50.360 --> 0:42:52.799
<v Speaker 1>to get after Rogers and do that and force him

0:42:52.800 --> 0:42:55.279
<v Speaker 1>into bad decisions. So that that's where I think I

0:42:55.320 --> 0:42:58.840
<v Speaker 1>think that they're better than they've ever been against Rogers

0:42:58.840 --> 0:43:02.680
<v Speaker 1>and them is the secondary versus the receivers. So we'll see,

0:43:03.200 --> 0:43:05.799
<v Speaker 1>it'll be interesting. The one thing that I have on

0:43:05.880 --> 0:43:09.080
<v Speaker 1>my mind listen to Okay, you talking about their offense,

0:43:09.160 --> 0:43:12.799
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about their defense. There's nothing. I think this

0:43:12.880 --> 0:43:15.400
<v Speaker 1>is a game that the Cowboys can definitely win. But

0:43:15.520 --> 0:43:17.520
<v Speaker 1>the only area that kind of concerns me a little

0:43:17.520 --> 0:43:20.680
<v Speaker 1>bit our penalties and how that can affect. I mean,

0:43:21.239 --> 0:43:23.160
<v Speaker 1>we've seen it in the past a long time ago,

0:43:24.360 --> 0:43:27.240
<v Speaker 1>but just kind of that area of if it goes

0:43:28.200 --> 0:43:31.920
<v Speaker 1>the wrong way for the Cowboys, you can easily just

0:43:32.000 --> 0:43:35.560
<v Speaker 1>lose that game. Oh oh no, We've Cowboy fans know

0:43:35.719 --> 0:43:39.480
<v Speaker 1>all good and well about referees at lambeau Field. You

0:43:39.520 --> 0:43:43.160
<v Speaker 1>know that. There's a there's documentaries about that, you know.

0:43:43.280 --> 0:43:45.839
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I don't know who the officials got this game.

0:43:45.880 --> 0:43:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll have it tomorrow and we'll get an idea. But

0:43:49.160 --> 0:43:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I think letting them play effect would help the Cowboys

0:43:53.239 --> 0:43:55.600
<v Speaker 1>more than somebody is going to call this thing tight,

0:43:55.719 --> 0:43:59.320
<v Speaker 1>no doubt, because that's one way you know they're crafty.

0:44:00.360 --> 0:44:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Is gonna be crafty. They're gonna they can twelve mint

0:44:02.560 --> 0:44:05.120
<v Speaker 1>on the field, they can PIU down the field, you know,

0:44:05.160 --> 0:44:09.280
<v Speaker 1>and that could happen hard counts all that stuff. Yeah. Well,

0:44:09.280 --> 0:44:12.080
<v Speaker 1>and with that, we have ended the show for today.

0:44:12.120 --> 0:44:14.960
<v Speaker 1>We'll be back tomorrow for another show. We'll kind of

0:44:15.160 --> 0:44:20.000
<v Speaker 1>summarize everything in predictions, Prediction, Game Day prediction, See what's

0:44:20.040 --> 0:44:22.440
<v Speaker 1>going to happen this weekend over there at lambeau Field

0:44:22.719 --> 0:44:26.360

0:44:26.400 --> 0:44:30.040
