That's exactly what it is. I feel 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:38.640 like we've said that a lot. To say it with 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.440 your chest lately. Yesterday I was doing the wide receivers 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.240 to pay and today it's just because we're excited about 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.680 football and it's here. It had a lot of question 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:51.360 marks throughout the offseason, but but Rob, it's finally here 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:57.240 and we get to actually see the NFL season play out. Yeah, 0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.680 and we get to see we get to see the 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:03.160 defending champs tonight Sunday night. We get to see what's 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.720 developing into a pretty good rivalry in the NFC. And 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.760 I think these teams are similar in some in some 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.760 ways they've made changes in the offseason, the Rams and Cowboys, 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:13.440 And we're gonna get into that over the next what 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:18.280 forty five minutes. There's plenty to discuss, gentlemen. Heckma, it 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:22.560 is football Day in America. Thank you, lord. Thank It 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.440 gets at this point, man, and it's just it just 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.560 feels good. I'm man, I got my popcorn ready, all 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.880 of those things, and it just feels so good to 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:35.160 just be talking about real, actual football player. So your way, 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.200 you hold up. You're a popcorn guy. You're not like 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.160 a chips and dip kind of guy. You actually go 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.080 with the popcorn. Do you throw M and m's in 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:46.720 there or there is there butter? Mmm mmm yeah, I 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:51.520 do all of that, man, pretzels. This is whatell I 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.120 have to do. Man, Isaiah, I feel like you're a guy. 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:56.840 You just want to be You just want to be 0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:01.160 different from everybody. Right. You know what all I do 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:05.280 is drink water because my body is my temple. Get 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.679 ready for the days, No, man, I'm ready. I'm ready 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:10.200 for some football. Man. I've been waiting to see some 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.280 guys run around and hit each other for a long time. 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.200 Twenty twenty has been a heck of a year for 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:18.160 absolutely everybody on this podcast, everybody that's listening right now. 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.400 So I think that we are all ready to free 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.960 our minds of some of the stress and all the 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.359 you know, all the division that we've had in this country. 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:28.760 We really want to just see Arthur and just be 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.560 able to cheer for opposing teams and just watch some 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:33.760 guys go out there and have some fun. Man. So 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.400 I'm really looking forward to the kickoff tonight and obviously 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.800 looking forward to the NFC battle that we're about to 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.280 talk about for the next forty three minutes. Now, Yeah, 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.080 you're darn right. We're we are going to talk about 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.200 that battle. But before we get into some of the 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:48.760 matchups today, we are previewing the Cowboys offense versus the 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:52.000 Rams defense, which I really do think could be the 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:56.400 deciding factor in this game on Sunday. But uh, don't 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.840 looking through this injury report and Rob, you were a 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.320 part of practice yesterday, you get got to see actually 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.560 a real life injury report that was sent out by 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.920 the Cowboys. How about that about some real clarity, actually 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:11.920 finally clarity, especially in Amari Cooper's case. Rob, where he 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.080 was now or it's now revealed that he will be 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.479 dealing with a little bit of a hamstring injury. Is 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.279 it something you're worried about? And what was the rest 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:23.400 of that injury report? Rest of the injury report was 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.480 pretty clean. I think there were three other guys on it. 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:30.120 Luke Gifford was limited, Cheeto Luz had a full practice, 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:36.240 and I'm blanking on the other one, but it was not. Yeah, 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.480 Jordan Lewis, he was the only player on the fifty 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.800 three active roster to miss practice yesterday with the ankle. 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.359 But yeah, I think Amari's probably good to go. I 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.240 think it's a good sign that he had a full practice. 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.039 What we saw in the opening session. He did some 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.000 some chord work, some conditioning work with the athletic training staff, 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:56.279 but I think they were the reduced workload at the 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.680 end of camp makes sense if it's a hamstring, because 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.960 Isaiah's talked about it. For those soft tissue injuries, man, 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.359 if there's any hint of it, you gotta be real careful. 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:06.920 So I think they're just trying to get them ready 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.800 for Sunday night. I think it'll be fine. Isaiah wasn't 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:14.360 like trying to work through a hamstring injury at that 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.880 point in the season. I mean it's so early, of course, 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.960 no preseason. You've mentioned it already. Soft tissue injuries are 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:23.080 going to be prevalent, especially early in the season. But 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.520 whenever you're going through a training camp and you're already 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.360 limited in what you're doing anyways, how does that affect 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:32.800 you as a player. It kills you. It kills you physically, 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:34.599 you know, the soft tissue injuries, and we're seeing it 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:36.560 all over the league, right you see they're talking about 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.159 Mike Evans. Obviously that's a big one. There's a bunch 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:40.320 of I think there's a few other guys that are 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.480 dealing with some growings. And when you when you hear 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:46.640 these injuries, man, these growings and hamstrings suckum. I mean, 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.320 they're they're deep tissue. They're deep soft tissue. You hear 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.039 the with the term soft tissue, but these are deep 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.480 embedded mustard groups that involve a lot of power output. Right. 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.200 You guys are are agile. You have to be able 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:59.119 to be um to not only expelled a bunch of power, 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:00.840 but you be able to have to be able to 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.440 change directions. So that's the thing that you really can't 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.000 duplicate when you're talking about the offseason program. Obviously, these 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.080 guys have went through camp, but even by going through 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.880 to camp is still not game speed. So you're going 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:15.160 to see even more injuries this week. Hopefully it doesn't 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.200 happen to the Cowboys, but you know, unfortunately you're going 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.920 to see a league Why because you know, these are 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:22.839 things that you can't that you can't predict, these things 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.960 that you can't really prepare for. And as you kind 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.240 of happened, because the competition comes, you're no longer thinking 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:31.960 about toning it down. You're only thinking about turning it up. Yeah, 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:36.760 I think that's something that thinking about the the well, 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.080 I just forgot. You know, Xavier Woods is not even 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:42.200 on the injury report because rack my brain there with 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.400 the reminding me with the growing injury. He's not even 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.559 on it. So that's a good sign for Sunday. And 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:49.880 I mean that's I mean, that's a pretty clean injury 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:52.680 report so far. That's pretty good for for three weeks 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.039 of camp, coming off of no work in the off season, 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.640 and kind of going along with that secondary. The one 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.000 player that we did mention that in the secondary and 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.000 was on the injury report, actually the two of them, 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.080 Jordan Lewis and Cheeto a woozier heck whenever I know, 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.720 we talked about the defense and the matchup that they've 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.400 got with this Los Angeles Rams receiving court with Cooper 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.200 Cup Robert Woods. I went back and watched the game 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.120 from last year a little bit, and in the All 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.280 twenty two film, two guys that stuck out to me 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.320 were Jordan Lewis and Cheeto because of the way that 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:28.280 they were able to cover those guys in the slot outside. 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.360 They did a lot of that in the game last year. 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.400 Does it worry you that both of those guys are 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:36.880 a little bit banged up moving into Sunday. Not at all. 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:41.440 I think that, you know, with Diggs with him, you know, 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.360 everything we heard about him in camp has been really positive. 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.920 But also with the veteran leadership of Worley as well. 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.760 So I just don't right now. I got so many 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:52.640 of the question marks in my head when it comes 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:56.240 down to what's gonna happen on Sunday, Not really that 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.920 concerned about it. I think Cheetos had a solid camp, 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.920 but all so, you know, Jordan Lewis is a guy 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:07.200 I'm hoping game time ready because we're expecting big things 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.720 out of him. But I wanted to go back to 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:13.480 what you were asking about Amara Cooper, and my question 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.840 has always been with Amari. Which Amari is going to 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.600 show up to the party? Right? And so it's been 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.559 the home of MARII and be away of Maari. Which 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.400 one are we're gonna get? And just to hear that, look, man, 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.160 he may have a blown tire is not a good 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:29.200 way to start the season. That's not what you want. 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:30.840 That's not diffinitely not what you want to hear in Kyle, 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.680 Like like the post's point too, what happens if the 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.040 report is true and Cooper does have a little bit 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:39.160 of a tweeked hamstring. Number one, Whenever you're dealing with 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.560 a hamstring a soft tissue injury, you have to tone 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.679 it down right. So if you have one hundred percent 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.600 to give, you're really only given about seventy, Right, You're 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.000 really only given about seventy because you're now trying to 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.920 play and prevent making that injury worse right, not only 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.280 mentally but physically right, So you're not giving it everything 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:56.959 that you have, which means that you're not being as 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.240 productive as you could be. And now what happens you 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.560 can't do it right? And know what happens if Marie 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:03.800 actually goes out through anybody else that's that's dealing with 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.760 a soft tissue throughout the game and they actually tweak it. 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.400 Right now, what do you do? It's week one of 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:13.800 sixteen and potentially hopefully twenty plus, right, Uh, it's week one. 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.480 When do you sit him down immediately and just say, hey, 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.000 we're sitting you down for a couple of weeks, or 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:19.400 do you try to have him try to push through 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.760 because it's your season opener. A lot of questions that 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:23.319 you know they have to be posed. But hopefully, you know, 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.160 we don't have to worry about those. You got me 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.240 worried now. I wasn't too worried about it till now. 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.439 I saw I saw a full practice and I was like, okay, 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.440 he's good. But you're right. I mean, it's something that 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.880 can if there is a tweak it sometimes it doesn't 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.240 take much, you know, especially there's there's been situated. I 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:40.880 think there's a game last year where he played three 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.040 plays and he felt something. It might have been his 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.160 squad or something, and he was they shut him down 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:48.160 for the game. So yeah, and to your point where 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.240 you try to push through. I can remember distinctively when 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.120 I was playing for New England and I was I 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.840 was a personal protector for the for the punter, and 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:56.760 I remember going out and I went to go make 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:58.600 one move when I went to go try to take off, 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.600 and I literally tweaked my grown and if you could 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:03.880 feel the pool, and I was like, oh crap. So 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:05.560 I literally ran down there and I came to the 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.200 sideline and guess what, I didn't say anything, right, I 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.040 didn't say anything. Why because you don't want to come 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.520 out the game right, right, you don't want to come 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:13.920 out the game. So what do you end up doing? 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:15.360 You end up staying in the game. He's like, all, 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:16.800 I'm a man, up, you know what I'm saying. I'm 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:18.440 in the league. I'm a man. I'm gonna deal with it. 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:19.880 And guess what. I go out there again to the 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:21.599 next play and I try to make a move and 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:23.760 I feel that I'm nowhere near one hundred percent right, 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:25.720 So what I end up doing. I end up giving 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.560 everything that I have without trying to make it worse. Right, 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.199 And now all of a sudden, now I'm a sixty 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.120 percent of the player that I should be, right when 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.160 they said of me going out and telling somebody else, Hey, 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.120 come in and take my spot. So there's there's a 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:37.760 lot of those mind games as well that you might 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:39.400 deal with this first week. Because guy's gonna be like, 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.040 I can't get hurt this first game, No way in 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:42.920 the world. I'm gonna go sit down. Yeah, but you're 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:44.400 not doing what you need to do, and you're making 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.880 yourself worse. Hey, I said, no dangerous, more dangerous place 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.959 to be is on a football field and giving around. 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:53.880 Yeah that against grown man. Now you don't want that. 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:56.720 And the one game that really stuck out to me. 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:58.960 Last year with Amari Cooper might have been that Jets 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.240 game where he did go a couple plays into it 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:04.600 and then ultimately it was shelved for the majority of 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.880 the game. But Rob, you were saying that here a 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:10.480 little bit, you're a little bit worried by what Isaiah 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:14.280 was saying whenever it comes to the really what it 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.160 takes to go through a hamstring injury. I've got a 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.920 stat that might worry you what it takes hamstring injury wise. 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.880 And also against the Rams. In just two career games 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:27.240 against the Los Angeles Rams, Amari Cooper has a total 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:31.280 of two receptions for twenty eight yards, and one of 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:35.320 those receptions was a nineteen yarder in last year's Week 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.960 fifteen games. So basically he's had two receptions and one 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:42.640 really good one throughout his entire career against this franchise. Now, 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:44.360 I know it's a little bit different. He was in 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.160 the AFC for a little bit and he didn't play 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:47.880 the Rams a whole lot. But now that he's been 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:49.760 in the NFC and he's been with the Cowboys for 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.760 what will now be his third season, hasn't had a 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.920 ton of success at least in the regular season against 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:57.520 the Rams. He had a pretty good gig game again 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:00.200 in that Divisional round a couple of years ago. But 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.600 is this something that would worry you rob about Maybe 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.640 the fact that this is a stout secondary. I mean, 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.520 you look at the guys on this secondary, Jalen Ramsey, 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.000 You've gotten a lot of a lot of those players 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.120 back there, even a draft pick in Terrell Burgess, who 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:17.840 I think is gonna play some significant amount of time. 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.360 Does it worry you the fact that Amari Cooper is 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:22.360 dealing with this and going up against one of the 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:26.400 better secondaries he'll see all year. Well, I think it's 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.559 a hell of a matchup. There's no doubt about it. Um. 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.360 I don't know, he didn't have big production the last 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:32.959 time they played the Rams, But I don't know if 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.960 necessarily he played poorly in that game. The Cowboys just 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.160 dominated up front. You know, they didn't really have to 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:41.360 get a ton going in the past game. But yeah, 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:43.760 I mean, this is probably the toughest matchup he may 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.720 draw the entire season. And Jalen Ramsey and I believe Ramsey, 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.080 I think he followed him a decent amount in that 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.240 last game that they played, and I wonder I wonder 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.280 how the Rams will will treat that this year. I mean, 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:58.280 they do have Troy Hill on the other side, but 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:02.240 you know, the Cowboys have potentially upgraded their receiving cord 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:06.600 if ceedee Lamb is what Camp suggested he could be 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.679 early on. So do they play sides or do they 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.040 try to focus on a Mari? Like you said, I mean, 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.600 Ramsey's a tough matchup. You guys know that because he's 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.640 a big, physical cornerback and that that matches up well 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.440 with what what what a Mari brings to the table? Hey, Rob, 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.760 to your point again, I know we're spent a lot 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.680 of time on Cooper, and in my thought process, I 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:27.360 feel like Cooper is going to be eliminated for the 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:29.640 most part out of this game. Because it's one hundred 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:31.480 million dollars vers one hundred million dollars. That's what the 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.080 headline should be. It should be a hundred vers one 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.360 hundred because you literally got one hundred million dollars Cooper 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.640 vers one hundred million dollars Ramsey and Ramsey's one hundred dollars. 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.000 It's his smells a little bit fresher, right, I said, 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:45.600 Attle got a little got a little distinct smell to it, right, so, uh, 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:47.360 you know, and when you when you hear a report like, 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.560 oh man, somebody has a hamstring. If you're a hyena, right, 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.920 and in the Safari and you see a water beast 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.280 out there, a little wounded, what are you gonna do? Right? 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:58.960 The whole you coming, You're coming after it, right, And 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:02.079 we already know Ramsey's already he's already mouth. He's very 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:04.400 confident player on him, walking on the borderline of cocky, 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:06.880 which is perfectly fine. At that position, you expect it. 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.280 He's gonna come up and put hands on Coop. So 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.160 I'm looking forward to seeing how Coop responds to another 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.520 one hundred million dollars man lining up against him, and 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.480 he knows that this thing just happened this week. Ramsey's hype. 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:19.640 He wants to prove that he's worth all this money. 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.560 If I say that we washed that side out, pretty 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.080 much washed Coop out. Now we're talking about CD and 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:26.920 Gallup and how these guys match up against the rest 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:30.080 of their secondary You know what, Isaiah, I don't agree 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.360 with that. And the reason why why because you played 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.600 with a guy by the name of Terrell El Dorado Owens, 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:38.160 who even if he was going against a guy the 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:41.200 Rievas Island. Right, Hold on, hold, don't have to you 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.120 have to throw the ball. You had to throw the 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:44.920 ball to t O. There was no way that you 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.000 washed him. And so what I'm talking about is the 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.800 upper echelon of wide receivers in the league. And if 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.920 Amari Cooper is paid like one and he's going across 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.920 from Ramsey, we gotta see what's under that hood. Also, 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:58.200 we can't go away from my game plan because of 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.320 Jaylor Ramsey. Now I understand Haylan Ramsey is a dog, 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:04.040 He's one of the best colbacks in the league. But 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:08.000 still we have one of the best wide receivers. Quote unquote, 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.080 when you make a hundred million dollars, you gotta prove 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.640 you gotta show it. There are no hundred million dollars 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:15.840 decoys in the league. Man, No way. Heck, did you 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:18.360 really just compare Cooper to TiO? I was thinking that 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:22.920 same thing. The comparison No, no, wait a minute, wait 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:27.320 a minute. The comparison is the money that you're being paid. Okay, 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:30.400 that you are looked at as a player, not calling 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.760 him to Larado Owens. There's a big difference between the 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.800 two players. All I'm saying is, if we're paying guys 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:38.880 one hundred million dollars to be a decoy, can I 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:42.560 raise my hand for that. I can tell you this. 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:47.680 I have ran routes against mister Darrell Reeves himself right, 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.360 and we have had our battles, and I guarantee Darrell 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.760 Revers shut down the entire side of the field. Jalen 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:54.640 Ramsey not only can shut down the entire side of 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.480 the field, but he is going to be following Cooper 0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.320 wherever he goes. He's gonna be on him like White 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:01.440 on Rice in the playing in the snowstorm. He is 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:03.680 not gonna let him go away. So he's got to 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.280 deal with him in his hip pocket all day. I 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.800 love it. I love it. That still doesn't that still 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:12.400 doesn't say that true. I know that Almark Cooper is 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.840 a weapon that we have to use. Now here's the 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.760 other thing. We're spending this time on Ramsey. But let's 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:19.600 go side on the other side of the field for 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:23.520 Troy Hill. In my opinion, it's Roy Hills. His birthday 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:28.520 is Sunday. It's your birthday. Yeah, and we blow and 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:32.360 we're blowing out Candles is some fi stadium because you're 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:35.040 the other guy. So I mean, I understand the strategy 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.040 and the scheme to say, oh, we're going over to 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:39.400 the other side. That's cool, but we're going over to 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:42.200 the other side with whom Mike get. We're going absolute 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:45.800 as that's that's where it's at. But at the same time, 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:49.760 we're not gonna change our office because Ramsey just got 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.800 paid one hundred million dollars and oh cool, just go 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.200 out there and play chess with him. No, man, we're 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.560 gonna we're gonna show him. Heck, that's what we Heck, 0:16:57.800 --> 0:16:59.840 I know, we gotta end this. I totally agree with you. 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.160 All I'm saying is just to back it up. We're 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:04.720 comparing somebody that you don't know which version is gonna 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:07.960 show up, right, versus somebody who shows up every time. 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:09.879 So that's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. They 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:11.840 both get paid a hundred million bit, but one person 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.000 you refer to as not knowing which version you're gonna get. 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:16.040 So that's that's all I'm saying. And you got to 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.880 talk about the money also coming from Jalen Ramsey. It's 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.320 right off the brinks truck truck this week because he 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:28.600 signed the deal yesterday just before we get done. Yeah, 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:31.240 Brinks truck. And also the fact that you've got the 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:35.639 richest cornerback contract in NFL history and that's what he 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:39.240 was signing with the year one oh five. Well, we 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.760 keep talking about these these other wide receivers that are 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:45.400 gonna show up, and you talk about Michael Gallup ceedee lamb. 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.400 I want to throw Cedric Wilson into the mix as well. 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.320 I think he had a fantastic camp. I think he 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:53.000 could make a difference. Is this secondary deep enough? I mean, 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:55.400 we talked about Jalen Ramsey, Troy Hill, but I want 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:58.320 to know about maybe the safeties, John Johnson, Taylor Rap, 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:01.159 Taylor Raps, a fantastic safety, led the team in tackles 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:06.399 last year. Is there is there any worry that the 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:11.040 Cowboys and wide receivers have the have that connection and 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:13.840 have that kind of taken away from you or at 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:21.359 least neutralized in this game. Um No, the Rams do 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.600 not have the secondary to match up man to man 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:28.000 to the Cowboys receiving corps. Not even we talked about 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:31.240 this yesterday, that Cowboys have a have a have a 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:33.560 solid receiving corps and when you factor it in with 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:35.640 the abilities that they have to run the ball as 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.760 well this offense as a whole, they won't. They don't 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:41.040 have enough depth to handle that. And I'm curious though 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:42.639 to see even though they don't have it man to 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:44.120 man to be able to handle these guys at one 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:47.000 on one, I'm curious as to what their new defensive 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.000 coordinator is going to bring to the table. So that's 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:53.120 that's what I'm interested in seeing. The matchups are one thing, 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:55.919 but the defensive coordinator could be the game changer in 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.560 terms of how these guys are played. And when I'm 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:00.679 hearing out of the out of the rams as this 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:02.800 new defensive coordinator stately is very as a lot more 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:06.320 aggressive than coach Phillips used to be. So, um, that's 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:09.880 gonna be very intriguing. Do you blitz Dallas? I don't 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:12.239 think it's a good idea because now you're going one 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:14.080 on one with these guys and you don't have the depth. 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:16.240 So what is he going to do in order to 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:19.000 come back this this this this dual threat offense that 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:20.960 we have. If you've got aeron Donald, I hope you 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:23.720 don't have the blitz if you've got number ninety nine there. 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:27.159
