1
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to Good Morning Football. We are here. We are live.

2
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: We're live all week, even on Thanksgiving the day after.

3
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: If you're watching us for the first time, this is

4
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: our little football show. Three hours long, full of highlights,

5
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: full of annalysis, full of phone were presented about old

6
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: trap reprief Jerky and we are live in New York.

7
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, November twenty fourth. My name's Kay, Kyle Brandt,

8
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: Peter Schrager, and Super Bowl champion Shawn O'Hara joining us

9
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: while his filming commercials on his phone. In commercial break,

10
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: It's fine, just trying to get some coffee, just trying

11
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: to run on it, that's all. I don't need any coffee.

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm so excited for the next three hours. As we

13
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: had to leave. Look good, let's go. We got some

14
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: huge news right here in New York yesterday after a

15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: loss to the Bucks on Monday Night Football, which we

16
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: chewed on yesterday, talked about the inns and anounced the

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: gravity of the situation. After our show, the Giants relieved

18
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett of his duties as offensive coordinator. Head coach

19
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 1: Joe Judge gave his reasoning on a conference call yesterday.

20
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: I'll make every decision to so much best for the

21
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: team long term. I feel it would be more productive

22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: as an offense. Generally speaking, the offensive job as a

23
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: score points. I don't believe we're scoring enough points. And

24
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: it's my job as a head coach to make sure

25
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: I give our players an out ten to go out

26
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: there and make plays. Ian Rappaport joins us. Right now, Ian,

27
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: a happy day before Thanksgiving. Let's talk about this. In

28
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: this Giant situation, things have to change. They decided to

29
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: change them ahead of week twelve, ahead of Thanksgiving. What

30
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: can you tell us about the Giants and they're departing

31
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,559
Speaker 1: of ways with Jason Garrett. Yeah, it's a short week,

32
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: but clearly the Giants and specifically coach Joe Judge, believed

33
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: that this was the time to do it. After the

34
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: performance on Monday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the

35
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: offense just simply did not look functional, just did not

36
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: look like one that would score enough points end function

37
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: enough to keep this team going where they want to go,

38
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: not just now but in the future. So many levels

39
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: to this firing of Jason Garrett. First of all, certainly

40
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: this is something that coaching staff and the administration had

41
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: considered for some time. I know this was a discussion

42
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: before the season. Decided to keep Jason Garrett based on

43
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: what he could do with the offense and also for

44
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: continuity for Daniel Jones and they get into the season,

45
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: the offense, as Judge said, simply does not score enough points.

46
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: And even as Jason Garrett said in his very nice statement,

47
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: the bottom line is, the results just were not what

48
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: they wanted to. Thank the administration, coaches for everything they've done,

49
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: but you can't run an offense this way. And now

50
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: Freddy Kitchens it is not going to be the OC,

51
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: but he is going to be the play caller. His

52
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: last stint as an interim really went extremely well with

53
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. We'll see if they get more aggressive,

54
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: more creative, and get this offense working better. There's also

55
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: another part to this. You know, at some point the

56
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: Giants have to make a decision on Daniel Jones. The

57
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: way the offense was designed, how do you even make

58
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: a decision on if this is your quarterback of the

59
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: future or not. The hope is it is much more

60
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: functional under Freddy Kitchen, similar to what he did with

61
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: the Browns a couple of years back. And at the

62
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: very least if they don't call their way back into

63
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: the division, they will know what Daniel Jones is. There's

64
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: of course also a Sacon Barkley decision to be made

65
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: in short order after that, and everyone is on notice.

66
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: Thank you so much and appreciate you. What does the

67
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett news mean for these giants going forward? Shot, Well,

68
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: go right to you. You You want a super Bowl with

69
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: this team, you know the expectations, the legacy, what do

70
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: you got. Yeah, it's a tough one. Listen. I think

71
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: that Jason Garrett first class all the way. And I

72
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: challenge anybody to find something negative to say, or anybody

73
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: to say anything negative about Jason Garrett the man. His offense,

74
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,839
Speaker 1: on the other hand, has been a completely different conversation.

75
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: And you know that full screen right there. The red

76
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: zone is the biggest issue. That's what Joe Joe is

77
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: talking about from a point standpoint, And we talked about

78
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: this yesterday. What's broken about it? And I think when

79
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: you look at the fact that no Sacon Barkley that

80
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: was a big factor with this. You can't throw that

81
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: just like, oh hey, no team to overcome that. No

82
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: se Quan missed the entire year last year, that was

83
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: a big factor in it. But the bottom line is

84
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: when they got down in the red zone, it was

85
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: like the Bermuda triangle, and so that's where you're most

86
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: disappointed with the production from a standpoint. But to Ian's point,

87
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: moving forward, I honestly don't know where this takes the

88
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: Giants because everybody asked me, what do you think of

89
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones? What do you think of this Giants player?

90
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: This Giants player? And when I watch film, when I

91
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: turn it on, I just I see incompetence all across

92
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: the board on different plays. It's one play, it's this guy,

93
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: the next play is that guy. And it's really been

94
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: it's been hard to even say this is what he is,

95
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: this is what they are. I still to this day,

96
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what the Giants offense does well right now.

97
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's not the red zone, it's not sure yards.

98
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: They don't run the ball really well. They don't have

99
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: a signature play, they don't have a style, they don't

100
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: have an identity, And I think that really is what

101
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 1: Giants fans and what football fans want. They want to

102
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: know what's our off here? This is what we do?

103
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: This is how we do it. And you know, with

104
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: respect to Daniel Jones, look, I want to know, all right,

105
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: what does this guy do well? I know he runs

106
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: really well. I know, I know he's a threat to run.

107
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: I know he's got a great deep ball. This offense

108
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: has not been aggressive, They've not been explosive, they have

109
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: not attacked down the field. So how do you avou

110
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: is that on Daniel Jones. No, he's not calling the plays.

111
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: He's doing what the coaches are telling him. So I

112
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: still have more questions about this offense and the future

113
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: of dan, not just Daniel Jones, but you know everybody.

114
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: It's still a young team. And the reason why I

115
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: think they waited this long is just because with Jason

116
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: Gerett is because they wanted everybody to get back full strength. Say,

117
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: Quon came back, Andrew Thomas came back, Kenny Gallady was back,

118
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: and that Tampa Bay game, that Monday night game to

119
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: only scored ten points. They played two times I'm Monday

120
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: Night Football in three weeks and they scored ten points

121
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: against the Bucks and fourteen points against the Reefs. That's it.

122
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: That was the undoing with Eli on the Manning cast,

123
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: watching and wincing in pain. And I think a lot

124
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: of Giants fans were in the same boat. Okay, so

125
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: do you know who's calling the plays now? Freddie Kitchens

126
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: now up and we'll be calling the plays. And I

127
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: wonder if this is what Joe Judge would have preferred

128
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: all along. He almost inherited Jason Garrett in a way

129
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: where Jason Garret's available as a former Giant. He's a

130
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: brilliant head coach. He's one coach of the year. Let's

131
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: put him as our offensive coordinator with our young head coach.

132
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: And Joe Judge's final season as a college football player,

133
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: he was a quarterback at Mississippi State. Freddie Kitchens was

134
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: the tight ends coach on that team. And then the

135
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: following year and Joe Judges I want to go into

136
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: coaching and goes to Mississippi State to be a graduate assistant.

137
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: Freddie Kitchens is the running backs coach. So they have

138
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: this long relationship that was in the nineties. And with

139
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: Freddy Kitchens is this whole list of Alabama guys on

140
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: the Giants coaching staff that Joe Judge worked with at Alabama.

141
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: I always felt like Jason Garrett and Joe Judge was like,

142
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: this weird match of a marriage that is now one

143
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: year in twelve weeks in where they didn't know each

144
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: other really before they got together. And it's if Joe,

145
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: Joe is going to be head coach of the team,

146
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: let's at least give him his guys that he can

147
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: actually coach with. So Freddie Kitchens, roll your eyes if

148
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 1: you want you're at home, You're like, oh the Browns.

149
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: Freddie Kitchens has been a coaching in the league for

150
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: fifteen years and Joe Judge is putting this on him.

151
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: Now he got seven weeks left. What are you gonna do?

152
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: Got to make a decision on your running back. Sea

153
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: Quon Barkley was a second overall pick and he has

154
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: missed sixteen of the last twenty four games and the

155
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: Giants have played. I don't blame him. I think everyone

156
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: loves sa Quon the player. But he's been already added

157
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: on for next year. His fifth year option has been

158
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: picked up, so he'll make seven million next year. What

159
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: happens in the offseason though, as a player entering that

160
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: season usually gets a big extension or they don't, and

161
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, we're not going to pick you up,

162
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: and it's probably your last year with the team. Now,

163
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: the Giants could franchise tag say Kuon and drag this

164
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: along and all along. But if sa Quan's healthy and

165
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: Freddy Kitchens, who is a running backs coach at by

166
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: trade and was Nick Chubbs running basket coach in Cleveland,

167
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: is the guy, let's see what the offense might look

168
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: alike around sae Quon Barkley a healthy version of it.

169
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: So to me, you're not going to the playoffs, you're

170
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: not winning a super Bowl seven weeks left. Let's see

171
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: what Freddy Kitchens has got his offensive coordinator, and let's

172
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: more importantly, see if sa Quan is a guy worth

173
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: bringing back for years to come. That's it, Peter, and

174
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: we're trying to conjure some optimism from this. I look

175
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: at it this way. This week, it's friends in family week, right,

176
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: And I think our closest friends at this table are

177
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: the flagship teams, the teams we've been friends with for

178
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: a long time. And you look around, it's at the Giants,

179
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god, the Bears, rough the Raiders. I have

180
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: no idea. These are the friends that come. You don't

181
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: even want to give him food you want to give him,

182
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: like a hot shower and a fresh set of clothes.

183
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: It's rough, but I'll say this for the Giants, at

184
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: least they're doing something. My concern would be Jason Garrett

185
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: is such a gentleman and so classy, and he's just

186
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: a respected guy and the next Giant. We will address

187
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: this in the offseason. No, no no, no, they're doing it

188
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: now because I think the problem with some of these teams,

189
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: and certainly the Giants, but these old friends we have,

190
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: I think there are sometimes the last two evolve, I

191
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: really do, because they're built on a bedrock of success

192
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: and their formula and doing things their way. So they're

193
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: the last two of all. We'll look around right now,

194
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: look at the offenses that we see in this league.

195
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: It's Cliff, it's Lafleur, it's Kellen Moore, it's Kubiak, it's McVeagh.

196
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: It's all these young guys. And that doesn't mean you

197
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: have to fire everybody over forty and hire some high

198
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: school whiz kid. I think Sean Payton is still extremely inventive.

199
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: But McCarthy, I think maybe the best decision he has

200
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: made as a coach is keeping Kellen Moore as his

201
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. Jason Garrett had not been an offensive coordinator

202
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: and over ten years, it had been a long time,

203
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: and they hired him and it didn't work, and it

204
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: seemed like a very Giants, old fashioned, old money, old

205
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: Sears Roebuck type way of doing things, and like that's

206
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: not the way that money is getting made right now.

207
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: It just isn't happening. So I respect that they didn't

208
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: just ride it out and say we support Jason. No,

209
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, it's not working. You fire. That's what

210
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: teams do now. And as far as moving forward, I

211
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: thought they were just gonna ride out Daniel Jones and

212
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: they'll bring him back next year and not extend them

213
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: and they'll be a lame duck. If the season ended

214
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: right now, the New York Chiants would have the fifth

215
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: pick in the draft and the sixth pick in the

216
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: draft because they have the Bears and they have their

217
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: own and both those teams are bad. There's quarterbacks coming out,

218
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure that one of us not going

219
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: to New York Giant next year. Do you think there's

220
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: a more drastic turnaround than Jason Garrett outside of the

221
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: quarterback spot, or is this enough, Like is it are

222
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: you comfortable with like a kitchen Joe Judge situation or

223
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: do you think this is like a first Domino to

224
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 1: drop situation. After hearing what Mari said in the off season,

225
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: after what they haven't done on the field, they need

226
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: like a philosophical facelift. You're right about the evolution stuff.

227
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: All those play callers. It's not about age, it's about ingenuity.

228
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: It's about Look at Sean Paye and he's somehow stays relevant.

229
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: He's on the cutting edge. He's consistently you can just

230
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: see it on the field, reevaluating, adjusting, evolving that It's

231
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: like if you have Joe Judge there and he has

232
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: that old school mentality, the GM's little old school. You

233
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: have to surround him with pieces that are more progressive

234
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: football talk wise. I think the apologist for Daniel Jones

235
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: are going to have a cold ward this offseason with

236
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: all the people saying getting new quarterback and Sean You're

237
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: kind of itch on it too, and there's a lot

238
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: of people are saying, how can Daniel Jones work with this?

239
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: We're not getting a fair look at him. I've think

240
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: we've seen a lot of Daniel Jones football out there,

241
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: fifth pick and six picks at season end of today.

242
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: A lot of young quarterbacks coming out. Yeah, it's gonna

243
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: be interesting, no doubt. Right now my board one day

244
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones joining your program in a little bit. Stay

245
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: tuned for that. But let's talk about the buccaneer. Let's

246
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: talk about teams that might go on a heater here

247
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: down the stretch of the regular season. A dominant win

248
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: over the Giants Monday night for Tom Brady and company.

249
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,119
Speaker 1: He said quote that he's hoping our best football's ahead

250
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: of us. I want to know the team that you

251
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: think is going to get hot get hot in Week twelve?

252
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: Who The New Orleans Saints had the number one rushing

253
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: defense in the entire NFL heading into last week, and

254
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 1: then they ran into something called the Philadelphia Eagles. The

255
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: Eagles right now are one of the best running football

256
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: start league. And the irony of it all is that

257
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: when they played Tampa on a Thursday night game, Miles

258
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: Sanders had a meaningless third quarter carry and the entire

259
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: crowd sarcastically laughed because they hadn't been running the ball. Well,

260
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: here come the Eagles. Do you know in the league

261
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: the whole season, despite their early in the season running troubles.

262
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: The second best rushing football team about the entire NFL,

263
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: it's the Philadelphia Eagles. And if that's not enough, head scratcher,

264
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: how about yards per game number two in the entire league.

265
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: Who do you think it is? Eagles to Philadelphia Eagles.

266
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: They've got the best off ends Linde in football. Yeah,

267
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: I'll say that with Jerry Jones maybe listening. I think

268
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles they're man handling opponents in the trenches, and

269
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: they're taking on a Giants team that had just played

270
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: a few days ago and fired their offensive coordinator. They're

271
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: retiring stray hands jersey up in this weekend. I wouldn't

272
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: be surprised if there's quite a few John Runyon and

273
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Trotter jerseys in the building. Eagles fans are alive.

274
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: Giants fans, I'm not so sure if we're going to

275
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: see a lot of them on Sunday. Eagles here we go.

276
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: There could be a couple of scrums and a big

277
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: head scratches. I like it. Min Austriana put the jersey

278
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: back on, all right, listen, take me out to the

279
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: West Coast. Give me the La Rams optimism. I know

280
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: they're they're coming off of two butt whoopings back to

281
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: back weeks. They go into the byeweek kind of licking

282
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: their wounds. But when you look at their schedule, look

283
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: at what they've got coming on. They're coming out right now.

284
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: They got the Green Bay Packers, right, all right, that's

285
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: gonna be tough. But then they got Jacksonville, Arizona, Seattle,

286
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: the Minnesota, Baltimore, and San Francisco. So the schedule looked.

287
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: I think those are all winnable games for them, But

288
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: I just can't wait to see this defense now with

289
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: more time. They added Von Miller to this defense affront

290
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: with Leonard Floyd and with Aaron Donald. And look, I

291
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: didn't think Vaughan initially was great, but I think he's

292
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: going to morph into a little bit more of a

293
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: focus on our defense. So that's gonna be a defense

294
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: that no offense wants to stop. When you break the huddle,

295
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: you're looking, all right, where's Aaron Donald? All right, there's

296
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: Leonard Floyd. Oh now we got Von too, Like, good

297
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: luck with all that stuff. And offensively, that's a nightmare.

298
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna take a shot on this one

299
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,599
Speaker 1: with a bunch of question marks. I think the Cowboys

300
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: they're tomorrow, they're playing the Raiders. I want to believe.

301
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: You gotta get going right, like this is gonna be

302
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: the year. This is a special year, right. It was

303
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: weird in Kansas City, it was weird against Denver, but

304
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: the Raiders are reeling. It's Thanksgiving Day, this is America's holiday.

305
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: You're America's team. You got horses. I know there's injury

306
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: concerns with CD and Zeke, but you got number four, right.

307
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: Peter just didn't an infomercial fear the Eagles on live

308
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: TV in the year when it's your year. Never in

309
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: the nfcast the small potatoes for you. You're supposed to

310
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: win the whole shooting match here. So if there was

311
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: ever a time to be like, yeah, we had our

312
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: stumbles midseason like the Bucks did last year, but we

313
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: got right. It is Thanksgiving and it is tomorrow, and

314
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: it's against the Raiders Dallas. A lot of question marks

315
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: up there, but I'm choosing to still believe. Is it

316
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: weird that you know Jerry Jones is listening to you

317
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: right now? Well, listen, Live television is circumcising a nat

318
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. Like, Hey, it's a very finite

319
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: specific business. Mister Jones, Yeah, he found line one. He's

320
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: ready to come on to the show. We're going to

321
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: talk about something that really resonates with this show. It's

322
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: been here with us since the beginning and it truly

323
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: gets us in the holiday spirit. It is the Red

324
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: Kettle campaign that supports of so many millions I'm talking

325
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: thirty million plus around this great country. We have Jerry Jones,

326
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: the owner of the Cowboys. We have the executive vice

327
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: president Charlotte Jones, joining us, and the Commissioner National Commander

328
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: of the Salvation Army. All up next, uncle anywhere I

329
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: think we as they have for years and years, the

330
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys are partnering with the Salvation Army for the

331
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one Red Kettle Campaign. And here to tell

332
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: us all a little bit more about the important work

333
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: that is being done. We have the Cowboys owner, President

334
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: and General Manager, Jerry Jones, the executive vice president and

335
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: chief brand Officer of the Cowboys, Charlotte Jones, and the

336
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: Commissioner National Commander of the Salvation Army, Kenneth Hotter, joining us.

337
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning, everybody. Morning. Yes, we love doing

338
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: this with you. We've done it every year since our

339
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: show has been here on NFL Network. Jerry, I'll start

340
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: with you. The funds raised through the Red Kettle campaign

341
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: supported services for nearly thirty million Americans in need last year.

342
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about why the Red Kettle

343
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: campaign and the partnership with the Salvation Army is so

344
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: important to you, to your family, especially given this trying

345
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: year and a half that we've had. Well, let's start

346
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: with this day, Thanksgiving, and let's start with this gang.

347
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: We could well go over to be viewed by sixty

348
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: or seventy million people throughout the day to team up

349
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: with the Salvation Army, who have been in this country

350
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: for over one hundred years and who have a great

351
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: tradition of two and a half million volunteers, really five

352
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: thousand officers, and they basically manned those red kettles to

353
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: encourage people to put a dollar in them, stays in

354
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: their community and help Santa Claus First, helps housing, helps food.

355
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: All of those things can be enhanced by one of

356
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: the things that we have so much in the NFL.

357
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: It's called visibility. And so to get as many people

358
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: as we can familiar with how special the Salvation Army.

359
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: They don't have meetings. They've got the shoes on them

360
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: and the food in their mouth while other people are

361
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: having meetings. That's why we're sold on the Salvation Army.

362
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: And that's why Zeke Zeke may be sleeping in that

363
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: red kettle back there. We will have a jumping in

364
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: their journey day checking on Zeke. You might be right

365
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: behind you, right there, mister Jones Charlotte. The annual Red

366
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: Kettle campaign has raised nearly two point eight billion dollars

367
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: since the national kickoff began in ninety seven. That's unbelievable.

368
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: What goals have you guys set for this year's fundraising

369
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: campaign through the Red kettles that we'll see across the country. Well,

370
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: i'll tell you what. We're in our twenty fifth year

371
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: of this incredible partnership and we get to launch it

372
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: one more time with Luke Combs in the middle of

373
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 1: our game tomorrow, and we have a goal of raising

374
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: fifty percent more than we did last year. Obviously the

375
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: need is greater, but we hope to raise over one

376
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five million dollars and that money goes

377
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: right into the community in which we live and all

378
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: across the nation. So when you put that dollar into

379
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 1: the Red kettle, it's going to stay there. And you

380
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 1: don't actually even have to put it in the red

381
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: kettle anymore. You can text kettles to five one five

382
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: five five. You could even give us your bitcoin or cryptocurrency.

383
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: But there's our Ascalexa. You know, there's all kinds of

384
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: ways to give, and there's ways to volunteer, there's ways

385
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: to adopt an angel. But you know, we have the

386
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: obligation to inspire people during our game to be grateful,

387
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: to be generous, and to give to the Salvation Army.

388
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: And this is why we do it. It's an important

389
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: message position. Since he mentioned the football game tomorrow, let's

390
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: dig into it. Jerry, we have you here. We got

391
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: to talk a little football on Thanksgiving. Your d team

392
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 1: is dealing with some injuries. Most teams are right now.

393
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,719
Speaker 1: Amara Cooper, he's out with COVID nineteen. Ceede Lamb had

394
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: a concussion on Sunday. Do you think Ceedee Lamb will

395
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: suit up? And if he does not, tell me about

396
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: this wide receiver corp and why they're going to be okay. Well,

397
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,479
Speaker 1: first of all, we've got depth, and this is the

398
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: time when you really need it, and we're going to

399
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: call on it. We've got to protect our quarterbacks so

400
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: we can get the ball to them. But our strength

401
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: of our team, or one of our strengths, is our

402
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: receiving goal and it is the depth. But you know

403
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: the receivers themselves, aren't they only ones you throw the

404
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: ball to to be tried. You can get it to

405
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: the tight end, or you can have it coming out

406
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: of that backfield to the guy that jumps in the

407
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: red kettle are to Pollard, who we like to have

408
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: a ball in his hands as well. So I think

409
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: we will have to really focus on establishing the run

410
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: because when they gather up to stop the run, that's

411
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: when we can utilize our receivers the most. That'll be

412
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: the plan tomorrow. Oakland will have a lot to setting

413
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: out to Oakland, but Las Vegas we'll have a lot

414
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: to say about that. We've got to be ready to go.

415
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: I'm so ready for this game. I wish we were

416
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: playing it right now. But Charlte, we have a funny

417
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: memory of you on this program. You came on the

418
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: show when we were set up right outside the building

419
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: you're in now is during NFL Draft, and this plucky

420
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: little team from Philadelphia had just won the Super Bowl,

421
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: and your thought was, well, they can have one. We

422
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 1: have five of them. It's nice that they have one,

423
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: and we all laughed. This year for the Cowboys, maybe

424
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: more than a lot of other years, is about getting

425
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: that next one. It's about getting that Super Bowl. Right

426
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: now mid season and as we come down the home stretch,

427
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: what is the optimism in the building and amongst the

428
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: team and the organization that this will be the year. Well,

429
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: we want that next one, that's for sure. It's been

430
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: way too long since we've held up that trophy, and

431
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: that was back in the nineties. There was actually when

432
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: we started this campaign. That's how long ago it's been.

433
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: It's time and I think there's incredible energy not only

434
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: in our locker room, but throughout our organization and in

435
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: our fan base that everyone has a lot of hope

436
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: and this is a great time of year for hope,

437
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,959
Speaker 1: and we think that we certainly have the right tools

438
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: in order to get there. We need things to go

439
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: our way, as everybody does, but staying healthy. We've got

440
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: a great leader in Dak. We've got a lot of

441
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: great young guys that are motivated, fired up, and our

442
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: veterans leading the way. So we have all the pieces.

443
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: Now we just have to put them together and execute it.

444
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: This Cowboys team, we came into this season and it

445
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: was what are we going to get? There's so much expectations,

446
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: there's so much wonder about back and then Michael Parsons

447
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: gets onto the field and we're like, oh my gosh,

448
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: they might have the best rookie in all of football.

449
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: And you guys traded back to get him. Just as

450
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: we're going into week twelve and Thanksgiving, do a little

451
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,479
Speaker 1: progress report for us, Jerry on Michael Parsons and how

452
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: happy you are to see the way he's developed it

453
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: his first season. Well, he's intense. The great DeMarcus where

454
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: spends time with him, trying to work with him on

455
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: his pass rushing techniques, and he's just blown away by

456
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: his gumby. Gumby is when you can bend and you're

457
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 1: still running and can get around the blocker. And then

458
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: his burst, his burst from standing still to a certain point,

459
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: it's Dion Sanders kind of burst. If you try to

460
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: measure it in timing so he's an outstanding player, but

461
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: his ambition, his desire to be better, is the thing

462
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: that's hard to put your finger on in a draft.

463
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: The boy, when you get next to it, it just

464
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: jumps out at you. He certainly is motivational. But the

465
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: good news is we have several outstanding on play. We

466
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: have players that aren't even on the field. The game

467
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: we played last week, three starters on our defensive line

468
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: weren't even there. But we'll be there later in the year.

469
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: So we're hopeful that these young players are getting the

470
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: reps that will really serve us well as we get

471
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: on end of the season. But then when we get

472
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: some of the veteran players that have been injured but

473
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: are coming back, that we'll have that rotation that will

474
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: keep us fresh and let us really be a contender.

475

Speaker 1: Jarry Jones preaching the importance of death down the stretch.

476
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: We love it. It's a longer season, a bigger season

477
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: than ever, and we hope to see you in LA

478
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: for that Super Bowl playing in it. Thank you for

479
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: all the time the important work. Jared Jones, Charlotte Jones,

480
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: Kenneth Hotter, and we will be looking for those red

481
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: cuttles to help donate to the Salvation Army. Thank you

482
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: so much, Happy Thanksgiving, thank thanks so much, happy, thanks happy,

483

00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: each game. See West Coast viewers got to wake up

488
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: at four am. If you want us to know how

489
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:14,479
Speaker 1: get up early SAP, fine, what looks big Night Middle

490
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: Course Tomorrow has a tasty matchup between the Raiders and

491
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Jane Slater has the latest from Dallas. Cowboys

492
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: owner Jerry Jones says the game plan heading into the

493
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs match was for the Cowboys to run

494
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: the ball far more than they did. They weren't able

495
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: to get it going, but we did notice that his echo,

496
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: Elliott was struggling with his name. Talking about that on Tuesday,

497
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: he says that this is a situation where he's managing

498
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: the pain. He said that when he takes a hit

499
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: or has it twisted, he just deals with it. He

500
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: says he hasn't considered sitting out a game to arrest

501
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: it that hasn't even been discussed, and he expects to

502
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: be good to go on Thursday. It also looks like

503
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: left tackle Tyrant Smith could be making a return to

504
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: the lineup after missing three because of the ankle. We

505
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: saw him out of practice on Tuesday doing some light

506
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: field work and there seems to be optimism around here.

507
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: Keep in mind there was similar optimism ahead of the

508
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs game, and that morning they decided that

509
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: he would not play at left tackle. Instead, they kept

510
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: Terrence still there. That offensive line struggled against that fore

511
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: man rush, and they can expect a similar for man

512
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 1: rush against the Raiders when they host them Thursday on Thanksgiving.

513
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, janeling forward to seeing you on our

514
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: show live tomorrow. Let's take a look at where we

515
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: stand in the NFC East before we twelve, which starts tomorrow.

516
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: With those three games, the Cowboys have the division lead

517
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: two games up on Philly the Eagles in Washington, both

518
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: on two game win streak. Style is coming off their

519
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: worst offensive performers of the season two games. That's a

520
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: little cushion for those Cowboys. Should they be concerned with

521
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the NFC East, There or a lot

522
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: of There was the star. You drew a lot of

523
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: question marks, one too many for my liking. There's a

524
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: lot of question marks. It is a nice cushion. I

525
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: don't know if anybody's gonna go get the Cowboys in

526
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: the East yet, but there's something happening in Philadelphia. It

527
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: really is happening. If you've watched them the last few weeks,

528
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: the Eagles are playing nasty ball. And I really mean

529
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: that purely statistical. Over the last four weeks, they are

530
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: on the best run they have rushing the ball since

531
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: that team has had since nineteen fifty. They are mauling people.

532
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson is back. He's incredible. Kelsey is incredible. It's

533
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: all repeating itself, and it's all this Nick Sirianni, I

534
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: promised you guys, the roots are deep and we're gonna

535
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: get after us. They're mauling people. The Jordan my Aletta

536
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: thing is not a joke. We talked about it yesterday.

537
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,719
Speaker 1: He scrapped on the field with the Saints. He buried

538
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: the guy. He was in a wrestling match. Like all

539
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: we talk about this time of year, and it's so

540
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: clichde and it's so football coach identity they have one,

541
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: they run the hell out of it. After this place

542
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: was enough that they fought and they wrestled. This dude

543
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: goes to Instagram post the picture of him pancaking Davenport

544
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: and then has the audacity to look where the location

545
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: is on the post. It's at Eyehop. He's at the

546
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: International House. They're smashing people and I really, really really

547
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: like it. Sirianni is out there. This is an actual

548
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: quote he said. The box these guys are doing are

549
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: like in movies. I'm seeing Kelsey do things that Billy

550
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: Bob did in Varsity Blues. He's talking about that. And

551
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: they got this quarterback who runs it. They got a

552
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: backfield that runs it. Nineteen fifteen, the last time they

553
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: have run the ball this well. I don't see anybody

554
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: in with the New York Giants uniform mind is going

555
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: to stop them this weekend. Maybe they can go get them,

556
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: but Daals would have to fall. I'm just saying the

557
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: Philadelphia thing. We've said from the get go, someone crazy

558
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: is gonna make the NFC playoffs because there's a seven

559
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 1: spot that no one wants Philadelphia right now. I don't

560
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: care what the record is. They're coming and one of

561
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: these teams is gonna grab it. I like what they're

562
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: doing a lot. And it's crazy because when they lost

563
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: to the Chargers two weeks ago, they were three and six,

564
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 1: three and six, and it's like the Rap twenty four

565
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: twenty four. If we stop the Chargers one time, we

566
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: can get the ball back and Hurts can win it

567
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: for us, and the home crowd go nuts and Herbert

568
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: just bleeds the clock and the Chargers get out of

569
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: that win with a win, and they're three and six

570
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: all right. Seasons over in the last two weeks into

571
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: Denver over two hundred yards on a great defense, and

572
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: then New Orleans the number one ranked rush defense in

573
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: the entire league two hundred and forty. This is the

574
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: stat I saw. Jalen Hurts is the first Eagles quarterback

575
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: to run for more than fifty yards five straight games

576
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: since Randall Cunningham. So like they're nab never did it,

577
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: Vick never did it. They're getting things going. And if

578
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: you want to talk about like why Dallas should even

579
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 1: care about a team that they're ahead of the standings,

580
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: take a look at what the schedule reveals itself. Really

581
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: in the next few weeks at Giants, I would think

582
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: that's a win at Jets. I would think that's a

583
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: win by get your legs ready, get your get yours.

584
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: Then there's seven and six at the bike. Let's say

585
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: they're seven and six. Let's go Washington at home. Okays

586
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: won a couple of games Giants. We don't know what

587
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: the giants Washington and then Dallas, which might be for

588
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: the division. That might be for the division. So they

589
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: are alive and well, or Dallas might have not gonna

590
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: play for it, they might have nothing to play with

591
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: the number one season, the wild card. Every single of

592
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: those games, Okay is either in Philadelphia or within fifty

593
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: miles of Philadelphia to the point where they do not

594
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: have to get on a plane the remainder of this

595
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: season travel everything's gonna be by bus, it's gonna be

596
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: by Look, these are all games on the easy. The

597
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: farthest they have to go is to Washington, DC from Philadelpia,

598
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: which is an hour and a half. As a quirk,

599
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: that is a scheduling quirk that maybe Howard Katz and

600
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: Mike North and Charlotte up there and the schedule anything

601
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: they didn't realize. You want to talk about an advantage

602
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: to never have to get on a plane, to never

603
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: have to travel like that again. Eagles, they're two wins

604
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: in a row, and that week's seventeen game it might

605
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: matter against Washington the week eighteen game as the Cowboys. Wow,

606
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: it makes perfect sense WI fly when you could drive.

607
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: That's what they're doing with their offense too. Eagles, absolutely there.

608
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: They're a tough out right now and that January ninth

609
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: game could very well determine the division. As you guys

610
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: are talking about, Jordan Millot has been fun to wash

611
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: on film. I love all that stuff. But that game

612
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: may not even mean anything if the Washington football team

613
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: takes care of business. They swept the Dallas Cowboys last year.

614
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: And look, I know Dak was not playing, but the

615
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: fact that they play Washington twice, that is the one

616
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: aspect of for Dallas that could derail this entire thing.

617
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: I love the cushion that they have and for them,

618
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys are built to win right now. They're

619
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: built with the Dolphins. They're built with the run game,

620
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: with their physical defense right now. But they've got to

621
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: beat Washington. Like if they lose those two games now,

622
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, that game gets Philly becomes relevant.

623
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: If Dallas wins those games, then that Philly game may

624
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: not even mean anything. But I just look at that

625
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: Washington defense, even without Chase Young, they can get after

626
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Jonathan Allen is balling out right now. And

627
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: when you look at how they were dismantled by Chris

628
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: Jones for the Chiefs, that to me is my biggest

629
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: concern right now. James Later has talked about Tyrn Smith

630
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: coming back a left tackle that could be a huge

631
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: cog to this whole thing. Piece. I thought Terres Steel

632
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: did a good job of right tackle, even over the

633
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: left side. Look, it's tough. It's not the same thing, Kyle.

634
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: It's like brushing your teeth with your left hand. Can't

635
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: do it. You can, you can get your teeth clean,

636
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: but you get stuff all over your faces. For them

637
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: to take the division, they'd have to win out and

638
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: the composive to will drop like three games. I tend

639
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: to come out that way. Yeah. This it feels a

640
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: little like baseball, Like you got like a sixteen game

641
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: with like twenty to play. You can't blow that crazy thing.

642
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: We have moneyball. They did it in those days. They

643
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: know no way. Wow, you are saying cataclys loss if

644
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: he loves to the races to the ras playing for

645
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: their season tomorrow. By the way, I don't know they're

646
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: wounded animal. I don't want to play them either. There

647
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: a wounded animal, Yeah, but wounded animals bikes come to

648
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: get those injured players back. I think the division is

649
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: that his name, Kyle? Do want to watch three games

650
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving? You know it? Great Big Ones, Bears, Lions, Raiders, Cowboys, Bills, Saints.

651
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: It's all Tomorrow's is our show. Welcome to Good Morning Footballer,

652
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: presented by Old Trafford Beef, Jerkey Peters, Rager, Kyle Grant,

653
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: My name's Kay Adams, and severer World champions. Shaun O'Hara

654
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: is still I got us the first time since two

655
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: thousand and one. Every team playing on Thanksgiving coming off

656
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: a loss, teams might be playing ornery and hungry. I

657
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,719
Speaker 1: like that. We're just potentially all right, grit. So if

658
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: we've got a full schedule, let's bring an Ian rap aboard.

659
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: He's on the graphic. It needs to support it. It

660
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: means he will be here all day tomorrow. You and

661
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: talk to me, and let's check in on that last

662
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: game the nightcap tomorrow Bill's Saints. What's the latest with

663
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: the Saints two top running backs that they'll be facing,

664
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara and mark Ingram. Yeah, just a week after

665
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: the Bill has got ran on seemingly endlessly, the New

666
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints play them, and we don't know which running

667
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,479
Speaker 1: backs they'll actually have. We'll start with Alvin Kamara, their

668
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: star running back for the New Orleans Saints. He has

669
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: not practiced yet this week with a knee injury, a

670
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: knee sprain, and you know, we thought he might be

671
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: able to come back last week practice on a limited basis.

672
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: It was just too soon for him. So we'll see

673
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: if he's able to get out there today, but obviously

674
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: not looking good for Thursday. And then his sidekick, mark

675
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: Ingram former mentor now sidekick, He also has a knee injury.

676
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: This does not seem serious to me, more like just

677
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of swelling considered day to day. Remains

678
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: to be seen whether or not he is able to

679
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: go on Thursday, but at least mark Ingram does have

680
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: a chance to go if you cannot. Tony Jones, who's

681
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: a rookie who was promising but put an eye are

682
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: really the reason they cut Lett Tavis Murray. He would

683
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: end up as the bell cow of both these guys

684
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: can't go. I appreciate the update Ian rapping for it

685
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: that when the last game of three tomorrow right here,

686
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: and the fund will get you set for those and

687
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: we'll have all the in between total access and we'll

688
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: have of course game day as well. Thank you so much, Ian,

689
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: talk to you in a bit. Both of these squads

690
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: that we're talking about are coming off brutal losses in

691
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: week eleven. Who has more on the line though? On Thanksgiving?

692
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: The Bills are the banged up Saints. Let's remember the

693
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: Bills healthy, the Saints not at all. Yeah, I think Buffalo,

694
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: this is like must win territory. You have to stop

695
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: the bleeding. The Saints are at home, It's not going

696
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: to be easy playing there on Thanksgiving. But I look

697
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: at what's going on. We're Buffalo right now, and coming

698
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: off of last week's loss, and then knowing that Jacksonville

699
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: was just a two weeks before that, this is like, Okay,

700
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots are looming. We can have this. The way

701
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: they lost to the Cult forty five points, all being

702
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: rushed by Jonathan Taylor Carson Wentz completing passes with ease,

703
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: the dominance by the defense. This was one of those

704
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: demoralizing losses where you need to get up the mat.

705
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: The bright side is this, I've seen Buffalo go into

706
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh in the last few years and win a big

707
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: game on a Sunday night. We've seen Buffalo in primetime,

708
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, beat the Chiefs, beat the Titans like they've

709
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: done this before. They've had the chance to answer back

710
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: from badd losses or to make a statement. They need

711
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: to do this because the Patriots are right there. They

712
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: play the Patriots next week. And if you come into

713
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots after getting your butts beating your clocks cleaned

714
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: by Indianapolis at home and then an injured, hobbled who

715
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: knows who's playing quarterback, who knows who's playing running back?

716
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: I don't know any of the wide receiver Saints team,

717
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: then we're talking that. This is like are they a

718
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: playoff team? Right? Buffalo needs this. This is their mini

719
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: super Bowl before the big super Bowl next week, which

720
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: is before the really big super Bowl in Week sixteen

721
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: against the Bills and the actual one in layer Bowls. Yeah,

722
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: it's a master ain't for the Bills coming off of

723
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: actually lacking, and then a couple of weeks ago they

724
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: laid an egg against the Jacksonville Jaguars offensively, so they

725
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: can't afford to slip up here. And you're playing a

726
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 1: Saints offense that is banged up at running back. They're

727
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: banged up a tackle. Look, they're both Ryan Ramcheck and

728
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: to Ron Armstead have been out. So no excuses right

729
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: here for Bills fans. They will probably looking at their

730
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: defense saying, look, that was a flip on the radar.

731
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: All right, we just gave up five touchdowns to Jonathan Taylor.

732
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: You know how many touchdowns the Bills defense have given

733
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: up the entire season to running backs before that game. Five?

734
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: So I think that was kind of the outlier, and

735
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: I think this defense has to be motivated. That's an outlier.

736
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 1: It's it's a heck of a game. It's a heck

737
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: of an outlier. It might take a little more mac

738
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: and cheese to get over that. For the Bills, they

739
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: absolutely cannot the headline the next day if they lose

740
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: this game. Um buffalo chicken dip. I don't know. How

741
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,959
Speaker 1: about the end of the day, judgment day, How about

742
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: it was fun while it lasted. You know, I don't

743
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: know you mentioned the Patriots. I mean, nobody's slowing them

744
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 1: down right now. And for them to have to face

745
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: them twice, now, that's it's so funny because so Steve

746
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: Tasker and Chris Brown are the beating heart of the

747
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: Bills media and they do the local show One Bills

748
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: Live every week, and a couple weeks ago they were like, oh,

749
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 1: come on, this Patriots thing is overrated, stupid, ridiculous, over hyped.

750
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: And but then it's like, but are you guys scared?

751
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, we're terrified. Yeah, you can't, absolutely terrified.

752
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: We cannot even sleep at night. And here's the thing, like,

753
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stats that speak well to the

754
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: Bills defense. It's all BS nonsense, empty calories mounted up

755
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: against Jets and Dolphins, bad teams. Forty to nothing over

756
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: Houston forty. Now they're at Houston. Dereck Henry smashed them,

757
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor smashed them. And there's this fear that we

758
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: don't have the toughness. So in New Orleans in the

759
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: Dome against Trevor whoever, in running back, whoever, whoever, massive,

760
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: everybody's watching and I don't know how many people actually

761
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 1: watched the Bills calls. Everybody's watching this one. Do not

762
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: lose this game, because then it's full panic, and then

763
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots are They're marching all over you. It's bad,

764
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: It's bad. I'm already out of words to say. Yeah,

765
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: build huge press game. Week eleven is over. Time for

766
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: a little witch guy. Wednesday fantasy lineup to Week twelve, Shrakes,

767
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: you have anything good, Let's get right into it. This

768
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: is from a Vikings fans schoolmaster, Russell Wilson, who is

769
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: a first quarterback for everyone, or Jalen Hurts. I mean

770
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: the fact we're going into week twelve and this is

771
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: a debate and fantasy football wild to me. And yet

772
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: I think I know he might be leaving. I mean, Shrakes,

773
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: it's not even close. It's not even close at all.

774
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: Here's what it needs to happen. You cannot let Russell

775
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: Wilson's name, his pinochious legacy, credibility, all of that, and

776
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: what he's done for your fantasy football team in years past.

777
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: You cannot let that shadow what is going on right now.

778
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 1: Live in the moment, will you. Jalen Hurts is the

779
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 1: number one fantasy schooling quarterback this season, He's Chops on

780
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: top of everybody. Eight rushing touchdowns, fifty plus rushing yards

781
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 1: in five straight games. Now, that is the safest floor

782
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 1: in the business and a high ceiling. I don't think

783
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: you can take him out of your lineup. They've got

784
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: great matchups coming up, Shrakes. You showed me the schedule.

785
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: I like each and every one of those. Unless his

786
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: play really starts to fall off, You're not benching Jalen

787
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 1: Hurts in any matchup the rest of the way. Russell Wilson,

788
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: he does get to put up devil digit fantasy points

789
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: since returning from injury. He does not quite look right.

790
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: I'd keep him on my bench, and I probably wouldn't

791
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 1: play him, honestly, I wouldn't until he proved otherwise and

792
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: he starts to look like himself again. It's a weird thing,

793
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: but it's not even close. He hasn't won a game

794
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: at home all season, Like, I don't know what we're doing,

795
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: and so this one's in Washington, they're coming off two wins.

796
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't start. Was there a team we talk about

797
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: less than I mean, Seahawks are definitely the bottom five

798
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: teams that we've talked about this year, right, I think

799
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: we'll make up for it in the off season. A

800
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: lot of very true On a week where everyone's cooking,

801
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: it probably won't be Russell right sebout the quarterbacks talk

802
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:53,959
Speaker 1: about all Right, Travis wants to know he's got Christian

803
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: mcaffreys his running back. One rue Do I go A J.

804
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 1: Dillon or Antonio Gibson Christian McCaffrey with the most silent

805
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: comeback of all time. Everybody's talking about it, but he

806
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: looks really good on the field. Instead, Let's go between

807
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: these two. It's hard because JA or a J. Dalon

808
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: looks very good in his first bite of having that

809
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,720
Speaker 1: backfield to himself. He had ninety seven total yards against

810
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: the Viking six. It's the six catches for me though,

811
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: That's what I want. It was impressive, especially because the

812
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: Packers fell behind so early and he's getting all the

813
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 1: love and the rock. And Antonio Gibson did look healthy

814
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: last week. He had ninety five yards, So there's both

815
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: good options. I'm gonna lean towards A J. Dylon because

816
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: of those six catches, he had lots of targets. He

817
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: had more catches Sunday alone than Gibson his head targets

818
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: over the last three weeks combined. So Jadie McKissick, He's

819
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: going to steal opportunities through the air if you're in

820
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: a PPR league or just need those extra points between

821
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: these two. I also liked Dylan's matchup. Dylan has the

822
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,959
Speaker 1: Rams Packers Rams this week close call, but I would

823
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: lean Dylan Kes. Got a question, Romandre Stevenson of the

824
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: red hot Patriots or the Godfather mark Ingram big Trust

825
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: of the New Orleans Saints back home and as his

826
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: flex what do you think? I mean, poor Saints. The

827
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: injuries have piled up. It's brutal that can hardly operate,

828
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: and now mark Ingram isn't one hundred percent, So keep

829
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 1: your eyes on mark Ingram staffs ahead of this one.

830
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: If he plays tomorrow on Thanksgiving, I do think you

831
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: got to put him in there. The average one hundred

832
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 1: ten totally yards five catches a game over the last

833
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: two weeks since we didn't have Kameara at a disposal.

834
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 1: I like Carmandre is doing. But you've got Brandon Bolden

835
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: getting in the mix there creeping with Damian Harris is

836
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: still getting the majority of the reps and if you

837
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: just look at the numbers, vermandre this has been on

838
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: the field for more than thirty five percent of snaps

839
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: once this season. He's done great with the limited snaps

840
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: he's been given. But I think if Ingram's out there,

841
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:50,439
Speaker 1: you gotta get him, all right, should yeah? Yeah? Jee versus?

842
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: What's another good contend there? Stuffing? Stuffing, resting as it was? Well,

843
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 1: just let everybody know we'll be here Thanksgiving tomorrow. We'll

844
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: have to fight Judean for saying that mac and cheese

845
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,919
Speaker 1: is the worst Thanksgiving Day food and then Mac Jones

846
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: said he doesn't like pumpkin pie. That's not a hot

847
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: take that I kind of agree with. I just want

848
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: to wish happy Hunting to all of the college kids

849
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: returning home today who are going to go to the
