00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,120

00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. Were

00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Hell, guys,

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: welcome to another episode of The Break. Okay there, Nick, Yeah, sorry, sorry,

8
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: we're starting the show right away, and since our time,

9
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of limited, although it's still the full forty

10
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: five minute show, but we gotta get two days, two

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: shows in one show. So since we're limited, go with

12
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: the picks. Let Go wouldn't be surprised if he went

13
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: right into that, Like, okay, go pick I would have.

14
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: But I want to start talking about the Redskins defense

15
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: and what they got going on over there right now,

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: and Dave's gonna give us the scunning report. Okay, they're

17
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: the same. One thing stayed the same in this matchup,

18
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: and that's the Redskins defense. They're still didn't get a

19
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: little better with trade, all right, I mean it's haha.

20
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: Clinton Dix is on the back end. I mean, wow,

21
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: he nailed that time. I wish the calera would have

22
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: been on you, just because I would have been perfect, perfect,

23
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: good timing. I just I don't know. I mean, I'm

24
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 1: not saying he's not a bad player. He doesn't drastically

25
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: change this defense for me. I mean he's a first

26
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,919
Speaker 1: round pick that the Packers dealt halfway through his final season.

27
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: I mean it's all about the front for me. Jonathan

28
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: Allen and durn Pain are still there. Durn Pains on

29
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: the injury report. That's something to watch, But I bet

30
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 1: he plays. Ryan Kerrigan and Preston Smith are both really

31
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: good Cowboys could not deal with them last time out.

32
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: Just offensive low was much different. Oh okay, no, I'm

33
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: just I'm just pointing it out. They offer fans listeners.

34
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: We'll find out it was different there. I mean, well,

35
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: we'll find out if that made a big difference. I

36
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: talked to about that. I talked to Darren Woodson actually

37
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: this morning. He said he watches every game every team.

38
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: He said, nobody is playing better than that defensive line

39
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: in the whole league, from one side to the other,

40
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: even the Rams. All that, he said, they are whipping

41
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: everyone up Frontkin means like those guys are unbelievable. He goes,

42
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: So if if that new guy is gonna make a difference,

43
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: He's like, we'll see. Because what's the best running day

44
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: they've given up? Do you say, might know it's Sequan No, no, no,

45
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: that was the Eagles. Um the best running day that

46
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: they've given up. They had not allowed they have not

47
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: allowed a running back to hit a hundred yards on them.

48
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: I don't believe this season. I might be knocking at

49
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: a turn. That's impressive. You go through a season this

50
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: far without giving up a hundred yards to a rushier.

51
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: And that's really it's a bold claim when you consider

52
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys have played the goals, the Texans and

53
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: the Jags to say that this is the best front

54
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: they've played. But you can certainly make the argument, Yeah,

55
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: you absolutely can. And that's really that's that's my point. Like, haha,

56
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: Clinton Dix Okay, cool? Uh. Fabian Monroe is playing really well.

57
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: He's a guy that they drafted. He was part of

58
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: the last game. He got hurt in the fourth quarter.

59
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: Josh Norman's obviously a talented player, but like, it's it's

60
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: their front four for me. You know, he's playing what

61
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: it's all about you know, he's playing really well that

62
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: in past years, like he's always seemed to me to

63
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: be a kind of the kind of guy that's kind

64
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: of like more talk than play, is swear injured. But

65
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: this year it seems like he's actually played really well

66
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: for them. He was a form of what second round

67
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: pick I want to say, Yeah with Houston. Yeah, actually

68
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: he's he's always been like he's kind of reckless, Like

69
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: he's he's a trash talking, late hitting Yeah. Uh, I

70
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: mean yeah everyone on other words you might throw in there,

71
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: but heads up flair. But he's playing. Yeah, he is

72
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: playing really well. I mean he forced the fumble on

73
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: deck in that game. He's got a nose for the football.

74
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: He's kind of an old school safety, Like the NFL

75
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: doesn't let safeties play the way he wants to play

76
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: these days. So yeah, and he's managed to do it

77
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: without getting those penalties. Like he's managed to actually make

78
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: plays that affect games, and he doesn't seem like he's

79
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: getting a whole out of those you know, those kind

80
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: of penalties that are costes team. All he's doing that

81
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. Um here, I'm pulling this

82
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: up for you. Washington is sixth in the league, allowing

83
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,679
Speaker 1: an average of nine five rushing yards per game. They've

84
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: got really good linebackers behind their front. You know, Zach

85
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: Brown and Mason Foster aren't like world changers, but when

86
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: you have that defensive line eating, eating up blocks, they

87
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: can do a lot of work. Which so I watched

88
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: them play the Texans this morning, and this is gonna

89
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: sound stupid, but like, if you can do something with

90
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: that front, you can. They had some success running on him.

91
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: Alfred blue and Um and Lamar Miller both had some

92
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: nice pickups in that game. You know, they took a

93
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: lead early largely based on their ability to run the ball.

94
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is I made a pretty sick catch against

95
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: their secondary. But so if you can beat Payne and Alan,

96
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: I really, I mean, you can run the ball, that's

97
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. It's so fascinating because I mean you you, yes,

98
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: you are correct. The Cowboys offensive line is playing a

99
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: lot better than it did last time. So I think

100
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: we talked about that. We talked about it on the

101
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: Happy Hour last night, like if they can run the ball,

102
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: There's only one thing that really changed for the Cowboys

103
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: in that time span and it's savior Sue Filo or

104
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: I have a contract extension if that happens, even though

105
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: you don't need need to and I'm time. Yeah, you

106
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: definitely have time. Got a few other contracts that are

107
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: a little more important right now. We'll see, you know,

108
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: you know, I mean that's one thing about what the

109
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys have done, um about this year. You've kind of

110
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: seen that they haven't come out and said it, but

111
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: they've said it that they you know, they've made some

112
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: mistakes on how they evaluate their own team. You know,

113
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: obviously with the we don't need a number one receiver,

114
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,119
Speaker 1: just kidding, we actually you're going to go trade trade

115
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: for what? Right? So, But and you wonder if they

116
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: look back and the Ron Leary thing. I don't know

117
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: if they could have done anything different, but I think

118
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: that they're they're seeing that that, you know, you need

119
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: a little bit more strength up in the in the middle.

120
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: And I don't I don't know if they would say

121
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: the strategy was bad there because I don't think they

122
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: felt like they felt like they probably wanted to get

123
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: a little younger and they couldn't pay him what Denver

124
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: was willing to pay, right, But but I think when

125
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: you even when you look at the guys that have

126
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: done well, Cooper could have been and did well, I mean,

127
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: you just need some size there. You need some some bulk.

128
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: I mean Tyrant Smith is he's a machine, but he's

129
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: not you know, he's not like a well, no, he

130
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: is everything. He's an over he's overpowering. I mean, he's

131
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: all that. I mean, I just don't think you have

132
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: these mallers. I don't think you would call that. Even

133
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: Frederick and Martin and Tyrn, I don't think you'd call

134
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: them a mauling offensive line. They're not. That's not what

135
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: they do. They're really good in other ways, but I

136
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: think it's nice to have one or two. And I

137
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: don't even know if Suaphilo is that type of guy either,

138
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying you needed a little bit more

139
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: pushed there. I think they missed it with Leary, and

140
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: maybe this guy can can provide you that. Could some

141
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: of that also be technique and attitude, which again, you

142
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: change the offensive line, coach, and what he for the

143
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: first thing you said was we're changing, We're going back

144
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: to being a lot more aggressive. Maybe that is more

145
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: of what they're looking for. Is they think they that

146
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: these guys can be that. They're just they weren't being

147
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: coached to be that. With Paul Alexander. They change that

148
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: up and hopefully they get back to that. Yeah, a

149
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: little bit more. They're gonna need it against these two

150
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: specifically these four. Well yeah, but they're all good. I mean,

151
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: and I mean the interior guys like you talk about power,

152
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: I mean, but yeah, I mean, hey, Tyron Smith, I

153
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: think he's gonna play, but he can't be feeling good.

154
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: So the struggles that Lyle Collins has had in the

155
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: hass and now when you match him up against a

156
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: guy like Smith, well, Smith, how does that? They flip

157
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: and flop. Karagan plays on the left side a lot too.

158
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, I mean, these guys wrecked the

159
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: game in Washington. I mean talk about Alan and Payne,

160
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: but Karagan had two sacks and stripped Dak in the

161
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: end zone and Preston Smith recovered it like they they

162
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: messed that thing up for them. And yeah, man, that's

163
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: like I said, that's you know, that's cool. Actually I

164
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: looked it up. DJ Sweringer has thirty forty tackles and

165
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: four picks, like he might he's having the best season

166
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: of his career. But I really don't care about any

167
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: of that. It's all about the front for me, and

168
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: maybe having the best season of his career because that

169
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: front is so dominant and they're creating so much pressure.

170
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: It's forcing quarterbacks to make bad decisions, and he's capitalizing

171
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: on those bad decisions. That's I mean, your left tackle

172
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: is banged up, your right tackles not having a great season.

173
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's concerning. If that's I mean, if

174
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: that is one thing that really really favors Theskins, I

175
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: think that's it. That's actually a really great way to

176
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: look at it too, because we were talking about the interior.

177
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: I actually think the outside is the area may even

178
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: be a little bit more worried about, just because, like

179
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: you said, he left tackles banged up, and really, I mean,

180
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: he's going to battle through. He is a warrior, but

181
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: he didn't look he didn't look great earlier this week.

182
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: And then on your right side, that's been the probably

183
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: the biggest problem area that hasn't been corrected is your

184
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: right tackle now, and so you're you're still a bit

185
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: worried about what he's gonna do. Over there. Who did

186
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: they play right before Washington? Did they play Jacksonville? Is

187
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: that what? The Cowboys went to the Jacksonville game and

188
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: then Washington you're talking, Oh, you're talking with the Cowboys, yes, man,

189
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: because I beat up on the jackson and went to

190
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: DC because I remember, I just remember the game after

191
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: Jacksonville when Dak had eighty two yards rushing and he

192
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: you know, it was a big part of the offensive running.

193
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: And then they go to Washington and they really he

194
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: wasn't really a part of that. You know, he did

195
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: have that one run one yard, but he fumbled. But

196
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: I just think that they've got to get to that

197
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: and they've got to fear especially when the middle is

198
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: so clogged up like that, they've got to make sure

199
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: that he gets some of those plays on the edge.

200
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: And the Redskins since beating the Cowboys, uh, they beat

201
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: the Giants in a very nondescript seven point game. They

202
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: got drubbed by Atlanta. They gave up five hundred yards

203
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: to the Bucks but only three points, and a very

204
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: other another very nondescript win, and then they lost the

205
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: Texans at the Gun on Sunday. So they're I mean,

206
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: you know, we talk. I always do that, like I'm like, oh,

207
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: these guys, they're so good. They're so good. I mean

208
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: that resume doesn't point. But that's that's what Tampa has

209
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: been all year. Like they will put up a bunch

210
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: of yards, but some weeks they get the points out

211
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: of it. Some weeks they just it's hollow yards. You

212
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: don't even have to watch the game. I didn't see

213
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: one play from the game, and I can tell you

214
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: exactly what happened. They just dow it deep to those guys.

215
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: They threw it deep to those Evans and was it

216
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: Goodwin or goshan Jackson Jackson and all that. But then

217
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: they can't run. I mean they don't have anybody that

218
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: can run the ball. I mean, all stots not coming back,

219
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: so they don't have anybody that can score points. But

220
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: I don't know that they can try. I mean, I

221
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: know we're getting into buckstock and we'll have that say,

222
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: but really they couldn't run against the red skin. Ye

223
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: think that's the thing. So you you can throw on

224
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: them all day. I mean I think if you have

225
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: a capability to throw, they'll give up passing yards. I

226
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: saw New Orleans get like five hundred yards on them

227
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: as well. But but they you've got to be able

228
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: to run the ball when you get down there. That's

229
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: gonna be the key. And that's as you said, well

230
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: it's easier said than done. But I'm fascinated to see

231
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: because they could not do it to save their lives.

232
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: I mean it was I mean because thirty three yards

233
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: all their all their points really were in that two

234
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: minute offense at the end of the game. And then

235
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: the deep ball to gallop Um, which we can talk

236
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: about him later when we get back from the break.

237
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: But but I mean, I'm glad you brought that up

238
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: because real I mean, Duran pains on the injury report.

239
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: And also the Texans had some success with tempo, Like

240
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's a good front. It's also

241
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: a big front. Maybe you can wear them down by

242
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: going at them. I don't know if the Cowboys will.

243
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: They don't. Well, they do it at times, it's just

244
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's not really a they seem it's hard

245
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: to know when they're gonna do it, but they do

246
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: it at times. They seem reluctant to do it in

247
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: unconventional situations like they you know, if it's if it's

248
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: a zero zero game. They're like, we're gonna get in

249
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: the huddle and get to the line, And well, what

250
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: are a few games this season where they started in

251
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: in no huddle type situations where they just kind of

252
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: were trying to get temple established. I want to say

253
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: it was the first and second game, babe. It was

254
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: early in the season when they did it and m

255
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: and then they kind of got away from that. And

256
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, they don't do it as much as I

257
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: would prefer in unconventional circumstances, but it's something that I

258
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: think could maybe work. Yeah, all right, let's take our

259
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: first break. When we come back, we'll discuss some of

260
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: the passing game and the enacts for the game day.

261
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: If you're like me and you love I mean, if

262
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: you have a heart thing, then cutting the court is scary.

263
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: But then I found out I could switch it to

296
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: it's why you should rely on more than just specs

297
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: and features. You've got to take it out and put

298
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: it to the test. The Cowboys did when they named

302
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: a break, we discuss the Redskins defense and what they

303
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: might be able to do to the Cowboys running game.

304
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: If they are able to limit Ezekiel Elliot running the ball,

305
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: they're left to the passing game, which then leads to

306
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: a question mark as the receivers are going to be

307
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: able to help in this game, and one of them

308
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: being Michael Gallup, who earlier this week suffer loss very

309
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: tough loss in his family. His brother committed suicide, and

310
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: he did not fly back with the team. He stayed

311
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: in Atlanta and as of right now, I don't think

312
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: he's been here yet. Actually I'm sorry, I think he

313
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: is here in the building. He got back this morning.

314
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: So have you guys heard anything, And again, this is

315
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: a touchy subject, very personal for him and his family.

316
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: But as far as his involvement in the game and participation,

317
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: have you heard anything or are you even expecting him

318
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: to be able to play and do something this Thursday?

319
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's going to play. I

320
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: think that that's part of it. Um, that he's he's

321
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: coming back here. I'm not exactly sure, and I don't

322
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: know if Jason Garrett and them knew all the details

323
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: of when services were going to be. But but I

324
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: mean the fact that he got back today and I

325
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: think he is going to play. Um, we'll see how

326
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: much he you know, we'll see if he's does anything. Um,

327
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: we've seen this before, you know where this could be

328
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: ten catches for two hundred yards. I mean, I mean,

329
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: maybe not that much, But I'm just saying I've seen

330
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: it before. I think, wasn't it Kevin Ogletree a few

331
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: years ago. I had a situation like that, and New

332
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: York is his best game he ever had. So you

333
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: never know how guys are going to respond. Des Brant's dad,

334
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: You're right, exactly so, but but you know, you never know.

335
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: But I think that he, you know, he um is

336
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: expected to play in the game, so I think we

337
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: gotta see I think he I mean he wants to

338
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: play clearly, Um. I think it just depends on what

339
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: they feel comfortable given him and what he and handle.

340
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he's still a rookie, not practicing, not being

341
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: part of all that. I think, you know, kind of

342
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 1: just sort of spitballing off the record. Jason Garrett was like,

343
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: you know, it might, it might not. It might be

344
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: a reduced role compared to what he's been used to,

345
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: But if we can get him out there, that's you know,

346
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: that's something we'll definitely look at. It's a lot of

347
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: receivers too, I mean, they have nor Brown, They've Lance Lenore,

348
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,239
Speaker 1: I mean they have They're kind of deep there at

349
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position for game day, and they're all

350
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: going to be active probably, So you know, it's a

351
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: good situation to have a reduced role because you do

352
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: have some other guys they're not as good as him.

353
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, yeah, I think, but obviously none

354
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: of that is as important as what he's dealing with.

355
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: And so sometimes though, you know, and this is what

356
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: Jason was saying, I mean, everybody's different and situations are different,

357
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: but sometimes being back here in a structured environment is

358
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: the best thing for them. Just around people that care

359
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: about you. Like being around people that care about you

360
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: in a moment like this matters, I think, So him

361
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: just being with the team, and if this is if

362
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: this helps him manage whatever he's feeling, which I can't

363
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: even imagine what that's like, but what if it's helping

364
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: him manage that and be able to kind of get

365
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: through this a little bit easier than Yeah, he needs

366
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: to be here, if that works for him, and if

367
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 1: he needs to play, then figure out a role for

368
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: him for him to play so he can kind of

369
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: get through this, you know. Yeah, I guess we'll find

370
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: out tomorrow and see what he's able to do. If anything,

371
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: and Jason, Jason, I'll talk about it later today and

372
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: so we'll see, we'll see what happens there. But as

373
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: far as the inactives, and the guys who have been

374
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 1: able to practice some how is it looking like for

375
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: this week and tomorrow? And I mean the list is

376
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: pretty still pretty long, but again we have to consider

377
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: it is a short week, so limited it's like, yeah,

378
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: might not mean much. So yeah, and for this team,

379
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: limited means you've got a shot to play or at

380
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: least be active. I mean, there's enough guys that are

381
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: out that was more last week's thing. This guy better.

382
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you can say, um, Tavon Austin

383
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: and David Irving, right, Tavon Austin, David Irving, Sean Lee. Yeah,

384
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: I gotta imagine if Adam Jeff Adam Redmond has a

385
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: concussion and was out as reset, that's I don't want

386
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: to know. I'm just asking. I don't know. I thought

387
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: that was a walk through. It probably it was. That's like,

388
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: I don't all hard. I don't want to know. I

389
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: don't want to know. That's maybe a delayed, yeah, delayed situation.

390
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: There five guys, I'm saying, yeah, five, Um, Mike Mike

391
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: White obviously he'll be there. That's six. And then take

392
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 1: a look at your d Lineman. Uh, you know, hopefully

393
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,959
Speaker 1: all of them can play, but like you know, Daniel

394
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: Ross maybe can't go. I think Woods and Taco, I

395
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: think her locks to play. All your tight ends have

396
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: to be active guys. If it's not, um, I mean,

397
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: if if all the D lineman can go, oh, then

398
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: the next place I'm looking is maybe Chris Covington because

399
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas is available, or um Darien Thompson, who is

400
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: back on the roster now they brought him back. They

401
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: cut Christian Ringo, which is another sign that these D

402
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: tackles are gonna be able to play. Uh so maybe

403
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: you say Thompson, if everybody else is healthy, hopefully nothing happens,

404
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: because I mean, even like the guys that have been limited,

405
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: of course they've been dealing with kind of with something.

406
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: And it still scares me at least some of these guys,

407
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: just putting them back on the field and the possibility

408
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: of something happening to them during the game. You know,

409
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: I mean the thing about Redman being inactive. If that happens,

410
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't have a backup center. Backup center,

411
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: Zach Martin would have to be the guy there. And

412
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: and so that means, um fifty five, what's his name?

413
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: Connor Williams will be you know, he'll be doing too.

414
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: So let's say let's say he might be able, he

415
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,239
Speaker 1: could do it, do it. Let's say Zach has to

416
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: come off like we've seen in the past for a

417
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: few snaps, who do you put in? Connor Williams plays

418
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 1: right there? And yeah, yeah, and then and if something

419
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: were to happen to Joe Looney, you shift Zach took

420
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,959
Speaker 1: center and play Connor card An LPK. It's snap. I'm

421
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: yeah interesting, interesting, Oh man, Okay, well there, let's do that.

422
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to nixt segment. Game day predictions. Um,

423
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: let's start off with Derek this time. Let's a little

424
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: bit um Okay, So I think this is gonna be

425
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: a defensive game. I think it's gonna be a close game. UM.

426
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: I do think the Cowboys have a little bit more

427
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,479
Speaker 1: than they did the last time that they played this team,

428
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: and a little bit more should be enough for them

429
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: to win, because, if you recall, they had an opportunity

430
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: to at least get to overtime. We don't know what

431
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: would have happened in overtime, but these teams are gonna

432
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: play each other close because they're they're very similar from

433
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: the standpoint that they both have good defenses. Um, both

434
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: can be challenged at time. Offensively, both have pretty decent

435
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: running games. I think the Redskins running games probably one

436
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: of the under heralded defense of running games in the league.

437
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: I think Adrian Peterson has done a pretty good job

438
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: there with what they've had. So all that being said,

439
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: I think it's a close game. I think the Cowboys

440
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: pull it out at home. I think the final score

441
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 1: is twenty to sixteen Dallas. Okay, I need to sixteen

442
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen field goals, lots of field field goals. I

443
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: think Dallas will hold them to a lot of twenty points.

444
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: Suggests two touchdowns and two field goals. Yes, so is

445
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: Bret for Washington. This is Brett Moher going too of

446
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: two or no? No? Wow, Okay, now he'll continue the street. Okay, No,

447
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: I've got I've got Dallas winning this game. I think

448
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna be in a little bit more control. Um,

449
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: I think there'll be some they'll be in control most

450
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: of the game. But McCoy he's kind of he's kind

451
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: of sneaky. He'll he'll do some things for him. Um,

452
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: trying to keep him close I think Dallas is gonna

453
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: have a little He'll be a little bit more scoring.

454
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: I think something about Thanksgiving Day game. Yeah, they you watch,

455
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: you watch when we get to the press box. Detroit

456
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: will be having a couple of touchdowns on Chicago, and

457
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: they'll be They'll there's just more things that happen on

458
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: those Thanksgiving Day games. I think they'll see a little

459
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: bit more points. I've got twenty six for the Cowboys,

460
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: but that means four field goals by mahar or maybe

461
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: a missed extra point in there. We'll see. But I

462
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: got twenty six for the Cowboys, twenty six seventeen Dallas.

463
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: I think that they do. I think it's gonna buy

464
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: a fourth quarter which is gonna be chilling. Twenty six

465
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: to seventeen. No, because that means it's two scores. Though

466
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean they'll be up by two scores in

467
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: the third, like it could be twenty to seventeen. McCoy's

468
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: driving pick six to the house, missed extra point. I

469
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: would love to see a pick six. We'd never get

470
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: to watch pick six. I know, last one against Washington

471
00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: actually Byron Yrons are fun. B Jones. Those are best

472
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: cornerback in the league. I hope you're right, because they

473
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: scored six on Thanksgiving last year in one of the

474
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: more miserable affairs. I put that like in Rocky five

475
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: in my mind, like that game that didn't even happen.

476
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: I forgot about that gay speaking of I'm not I

477
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: don't have a feel for like the specifics of this game.

478
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: I just think. I just think that the Cowboys, I

479
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: keep saying, should they should win, they should win, and

480
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: that like the fact that they should means I don't

481
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: completely trust them, but there they've won two games in

482
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: a row. They won it in adverse circumstances, road games

483
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: against better offenses than this one, in my opinion, especially

484
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: now that you bring in Colt McCoy instead of Alex Smith,

485
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: and I just they should win, like if you could

486
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: hold I'm I'm amber right now, just like win the

487
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: damn win the damn game, Like why stop just do

488
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: it fooling around? Just win the freaking game. I think

489
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: figure it out. I think Xavier suifielda will make a difference.

490
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna run the ball a lot better.

491
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: I certainly they held Washington to twenty points, and that

492
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: was with a defensive touchdown last time. They should be

493
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,719
Speaker 1: able to hold these guys to seventeen or less and

494
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: they should be able to score more than that. So, like,

495
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: I agree with you, like they'll score, but I can't.

496
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: I can't imagine them getting to thirty either. That's so

497
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: I'm uh twenty twenty four to sixteen Cowboys Michael Gallup

498
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: touchdown in mind. That would be fun. I hope you're

499
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: right that happens. Do you want to just go ahead

500
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: and for the whole game like play by play? Yeah, okay,

501
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys will not The Cowboys will not win. So they're

502
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: gonna start with the ball. They're gonna start at the

503
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: twenty five. This one was gonna have. They're gonna kick

504
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: it off and Jordan Lewis is gonna go like this

505
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 1: and it's gonna go over his head. They'll start. Okay,

506
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: you already lost me there. Okay, thank you, that part

507
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: was right though, Like he's gonna be boy. Dave just

508
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: called me out on the Happy Hour lift. Well, Shannon

509
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: was trying to give me some some props. He was like,

510
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: you know this guy, he always predicts like what's gonna happen,

511
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: and he's pretty good at it. And then Dave's like, now,

512
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: first of all, you said it was a nerve it

513
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: was what did you say it was out of nervous?

514
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: Um said, it's I said, I think it's a nervous

515
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: habit that makes you feel like you have a little

516
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: bit of control over what's going on. Actually is great.

517
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: I actually agree with that. So he said that, Yeah,

518
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: he gets some things right because he picked something every

519
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: single play. See, And I told I was like San,

520
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 1: like Shannon, you've spent five minutes with Nick in the

521
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, so like you hear him predict like I

522
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: don't know what anything eight plays, yeah or yeah, they

523
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: hear it the whole game. Oh, he's already hit about

524
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: He's already sput out about fifty during the game. A

525
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: hit on two. He's got a higher percentage than that,

526
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: but he misses. Just what I said is if I

527
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: really just shut up, you know, that's really what it

528
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: comes down to. Maybe just talk too much fun. Everybody's

529
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: got their ticks. Some Derek charts the game. You predict everything.

530
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: I rubbed my eyebrow. That's a weird press box in it.

531
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what's rob the craziness going on in there, huh.

532
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what Rob's doing. Rob puts his phone

533
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,959
Speaker 1: on his lap, like all the way underneath the table,

534
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: and then he'll I haven't noticed that. Hey, I don't

535
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: think he does it anymore better. Sometimes in the past,

536
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: I mean, Rob, Rob will throw some eighties music out

537
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: there in the middle of the game. But that a

538
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: lot of that headphone, Yeah, a lot of that has

539
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: to do with just some of the trying to get

540
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: rid of just some of the surrounding people. Sorry, pick

541
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 1: what's your prediction? I am picking the Cowboys this time,

542
00:27:55,440 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: and I am gonna say twenty five twenty three. I

543
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,479
Speaker 1: like the weird score. I like a good weird score,

544
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: you know, nineteen points. I'm going with that. But um

545
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: my big question Mark and I wanted to ask you guys,

546
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: this is how confident do you feel that the Cowboys

547
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: would be able to do something else if the Redskins

548
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: are able to limit the running game? Because we've seen

549
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: in the past how as soon as the running game

550
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: is out, the Cowboys don't really know how to get

551
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: a win out of that kind of situation. So based

552
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: on where the Cowboys are now and the changes a

553
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: few changes that have happened thus far, including the addition

554
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: of Amari Cooper, Are you feeling confident that they would

555
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: be able to handle that. No, Well, but the thing

556
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: about it is without the running game. So you said

557
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: it before when they played the Redskins, they got thirty

558
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: three yards rushing out of Zeke, right, yeah, um, and

559
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: they still were right there in the game. It wasn't

560
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: like they And by the way, one of those touchdowns

561
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,239
Speaker 1: that the Redskins got was off a what I call

562
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: somewhat of a fluke play. Quarterback doesn't always get sacked

563
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: and lose a ball in the end zone for a touchdown. Right. So,

564
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: all that being said, as poorly as they ran the

565
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: ball that day, because of the way this team is structured,

566
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the Redskins Cowboys still had plenty of

567
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: opportunities to win the game. So I don't know that

568
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: it necessarily I don't know that it means if they

569
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: can't run the ball, they can't necessarily win the game

570
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: against the Redskins, because that game showed that they still

571
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: were right there in the game and it didn't make

572
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: that his Huger difference. Did I get it? I get that,

573
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: I get that, But I'm saying no, I'm saying there

574
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: were a lot of fluke things that happened in that game.

575
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: They missed a field goal there at the end to

576
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: get them no overtime. They had a touchdown, a defensive

577
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: touchdown they gave up there in the end zone. So

578
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just don't think. I don't think

579
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: that them not being able to run the ball the

580
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: last time was the reason that they lost. It could

581
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: have helped, but I don't think it was a reason

582
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: they lost. Just as a general theme, I don't trust

583
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: them to figure something else out to win the game

584
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: if that's not working. I mean, they almost beat Houston too,

585
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: but they didn't and they couldn't run the ball like

586
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: they They don't do the other things consistently enough to

587
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: where if they if the run game's not working that

588
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: I think they're going to dig their way out of it.

589
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean the game won't be competitive, but I

590
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: just don't trust them to figure it out enough to win.

591
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: I mean, when you think about it, there's a reason

592
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: why this team's five at five. I mean, like, they

593
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: beat the Lions on the field goal, they beat the

594
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: Falcons on the field goal, they lost to the Redskins,

595
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: and it was close. I mean they're losing close games

596
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: and they also the Texans, so you could those two

597
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: games kind of equal each other. I think that their

598
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: win against the the the Giants early in the year

599
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: was similar to their loss to the to the Seahawks.

600
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: I mean, everything's kind of the same a little bit,

601
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: and so it all balances itself out. I mean, that's

602
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: that's what this team is. That's why they're not that

603
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: good that there are five and five football team. I mean,

604
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: sometimes you're gonna win sometimes. I mean sometimes you win

605
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: a close and noimes, you're gonna lose a cloals. That's

606
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: how they play. N they're on the eight and eight track. Yep,

Speaker 1: talk to you guys. All right, thank thank you. Thanks.

670
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: My question is a couple of days ago, Brian was

671
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, our receivers going over the middle

672
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: and this whole defenseless receiver um penalty. How come or

673
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: why is it that we don't use more throws over

674
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: crossing over the middle with Beasley or with Gallup or

675
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: even with Cooper. I know, back in the Ryan days,

676
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: we used to run that a lot of flants and

677
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: we'd get some pretty good production out of those players.

678
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: Just what are your thoughts from that, Dak. It's it's

679
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: that's not it's not his strength. I mean Romo could

680
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: see the field a little bit better and that he

681
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: was more confident in this throw and about throwing. I mean,

682
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: when you think about it from that field level view,

683
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,479
Speaker 1: you got to throw it over the guy and under

684
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 1: the safety and over the linebacker and you know where

685
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: all these guys are. Yeah, I mean that was something

686
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 1: that Romo could do. He would really could just look

687
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: at the defense and know where things where guys were

688
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: going to be. He was really good at moving players

689
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: with his eyes and pointing and all that. Uh, you know,

690
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: he played the game like a point guard. That's not

691
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: really what Dak does. That's not his strength. And that's

692
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: when you throw the ball over the middle. If you

693
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: if you miss, uh, I mean, this guy's having some

694
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: problems throwing. It's a screens in the flat. If you

695
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: miss over the middle, it smells like an interception. A

696
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: lot so um, that's not his strength and that's why

697
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: you don't see that throw a whole lot well, I

698
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 1: mean they throw over the middle, well Cooper, I mean

699
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: they do slants, they've done They've done them with it's

700
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: the only thing hearns catches and Cooper's run them. And

701
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: if Beasley catches the ball, it's more than likely going

702
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: to be over the middle. His nineteen yard or that

703
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 1: set up the game winner the other day was over

704
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 1: the middle. It's just really nice right route. By the way,

705
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: it's the range, Like, they don't throw it over the

706
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: middle if it's more than eight to twelve yards, which

707
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't see deep posts in this offense.

708
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 1: One of my favorite routes in football is the deep crosser.

709
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: If you think about the play that D. D. Westbrook

710
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: scored on the Cowboys on just you know, you start

711
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: on the left side and basically just run across the

712
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: field getting deeper and like, you don't see that really

713
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 1: they used to do that a lot one with Romo Well,

714
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: you know, that was one of the staples of their offense.

715
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: I don't. I think it's a little bit trust and

716
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: it's a little bit playing to his strengths. I don't

717
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: think they want to throw that far downfield over the

718
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: middle in the safety range. I think Nick's right get

719
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: leads to interceptions. I don't think it's a coincidence that

720
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: the vast majority of the time when he throws more

721
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: than fifteen yards downfield, it's outside the numbers because mitigates

722
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: the risk. Sorry, that's you know, you're working with the

723
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: quarterback you have. It's not to say he won't be

724
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: able to throw those balls at some point in his career,

725
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: but it's not something that they really want him doing

726
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: right now. And just to be fair, it could also

727
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: be that just the offensive coordinator, that's not something he

728
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: chooses to do. It's true, too, it doesn't that's what

729
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 1: we have to be because he doesn't think back can

730
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: throw it. It could be that the offensive coordinator just says,

731
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: I think there are other plays that I think are

732
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 1: better suited for our offense. Uh. That again, if we're

733
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: running offense, mitigate risk a little bit more and uh,

734
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: and that those are the plays we choose to to run.

735
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: Totally fair, Yeah, mitigate I like that word. Yeah we

736
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: haven't in Spanish, but I've never heard of English. Oh okay,

737
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 1: pretty similar something similar, something similar. All right, here's a

738
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: question from Keith any thoughts on Dallas using a new

739
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: punt returner. Beastley might have solid hands, but never gives

740
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: much of a return. Starting field position has been horrible.

741
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,959
Speaker 1: Nick was joking about him the other day. You said

742
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: something during the game about, oh, here we go, it's

743
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,919
Speaker 1: safe hands. Well he's back there because he's sure hand

744
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: and he never drops the ball right. And it was

745
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: about like ten minutes after he had just missed that touchdown.

746
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: So um, you know a lot of the times those

747
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, the balls like at midfield and then he's

748
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: supposed to catch it around the ten yard line, and

749
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think everyone trusts him doing that. There's

750
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: not a lot of different plays where the guys like,

751
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: you know, wide open and just just go make a play.

752
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: That's not his strength though, that's not what he's gonna do.

753
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: I don't know who else would be your punt returner

754
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: for that, especially well your punt returners hurt. I mean, yeah,

755
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: is not playing right now. I mean you could ask

756
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis to do it, but no, you know, no

757
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: offense to Jordan Lewis. I mean, you haven't been bad

758
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: doing the jet sweep stuff. But he hasn't. He's not

759
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 1: just out there being one shoe string tackle away from

760
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: going to the house to where I'm like, give this

761
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: guy opportunities, Like I'd rather just just catch the ball. Yeah,

762
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: And my thing that it's not great, I get it,

763
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 1: it isn't great. But even I don't have I mean,

764
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: even the best punt returners, they frustrate you when they

765
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: don't catch it. They go up there and they don't

766
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: really want to catch it, and it bounces and then

767
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: it rolls fifteen twenty more yards. I mean, the key

768
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: is just catching the ball, and I think Beasley does

769
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: a pretty good job with that. You're not seeing a

770
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: lot of punt returners anymore making a lot of plays.

771
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just the way the rules are set

772
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: up and the way people punt. The NFL is doing

773
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: its best to take special teams at least, I mean

774
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 1: obviously field goal kicking, but like, returns are just not

775
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: part of football right now. It doesn't seem like it

776
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 1: at least, um so I don't know about changing. It

777
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't seem like a big deal because I mean,

778
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: you gotta who are you putting out there? It's probably

779
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis or Lance Lenore. No, you don't. I don't

780
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: have you don't have it. You're like you said, you

781
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: don't have a game breaking punt return to put out

782
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: there now. If you had a guy and then we

783
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 1: had the discussion last year, should you put Dez out

784
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: there right? If you had a guy that you thought

785
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: was really an electric type player that could make a

786
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: huge play out of side then on a punt return,

787
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: then maybe you consider it. I just don't think you

788
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: got those guys right now, and so you just go

789
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: with a sure hand. If Tavon was fully healthy and

790
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: not returning punts, that would annoy me. But he's not

791
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: so ye according to Nick, he is healthy. He's just

792
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: getting close to coming back. I'm not saying I just would.

793
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: I wonder if the next time he doesn't, can you

794
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: get me a video. I just want to see what

795
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: he's doing that makes you just so sure that he's yeah,

796
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: that he's ready, that he's almost ready to go. Okay,

797
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm gonna show you what he's just getting there.

798
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: I would imagine if I'm a player and I'm stretching

799
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: and looking up, I'm like plase he seems ready to go.

800
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,280
Speaker 1: Are you expecting Maher to miss another kick? Derek already

801
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: said yes, Well until I see something different right now.

802
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: I just what I know right now is that he

803
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 1: is he is pretty inconsistent. There's been too many times

804
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 1: over the last four games. He's missed at least one

805
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: time in the last four games, and that is troubling.

806
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: So until he gets to a point where he's got

807
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: against the Tians. Yes, yes, it started with Washington right.

808
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: The range of his misses is what's a bummer too.

809
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: I mean, Washington hated the coaching decisions there. You know,

810
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: penalty backed it up. So like, all right, you miss

811
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: a fifty five yard or outside post, that's fine, But

812
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: thirty eight at at and t I know the roof

813
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: was open, I don't care. Ye forty two against Philly,

814
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: got to make that extra point. Yeah, those are so

815
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 1: all of them are within forty two yards and and

816
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:40,760
Speaker 1: and his makes or I mean his makes are all

817
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,760
Speaker 1: over the place as well. Like you know, Garrett said

818
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: in training camp, he was just a machine. It was

819
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: just like down the middle as every time boom boom,

820
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,479
Speaker 1: boom boom. And now even the ones that he's making,

821
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: it's like, well sneaking it in here, so he's just

822
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: not striking the ball as well as he did before.

823
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: And yeah, have you guys seen that video stops from

824
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,359
Speaker 1: the Sideline that we it out yesterday. I haven't watched

825
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 1: it yet. No. On the video when when he makes

826
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: that final game winner, it was really really close. But

827
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: if you notice they showed a clip of Zeke and

828
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: Zeke standing there watching it. I swear the way he

829
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: looks he thought it was a miss, because he kind

830
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: of looked like at first like oh my oh, and

831
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: then it's like, oh, okay, yeah, yeah, we won. We won. Okay,

832
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 1: But I think, and I think a lot of Mickey

833
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 1: was was going like, oh my god, he almost missed

834
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 1: that kick. Yeah, that was a very close kick. So

835
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 1: even the ones he's making, like you said, they aren't

836
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,720
Speaker 1: just right down the middle. They make you really nervous.

837
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones said, you know, they asked him about that,

838
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 1: Oh we're leaving, damn. He was. He was like all

839
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: he's like, all my doubts about it went away when

840
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: he when he barely made it. And I'm like, what

841
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: that doesn't sound like all your doubts went away to me.

842
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: But anyway, all right, the time is up, Happy Thanksgiving.

843
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna try to go get the final scoop before

844
00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: tomorrow's game for Derek Eagleton, Nicki Mint, David Hellmett amber Garcia.
