Yes, 72 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: my Dallas Cowboys are playing on Sunday the Chicago Bears. 73 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: If you don't know the Bears, the Bears are coming 74 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: to town. But but you know what, before I got 75 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: into that, I wanted twenty four hours later, man, y'all 76 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: still scared about that. Robert Quinn going to the to 77 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: the Eagles. Man, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna let 78 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: y'all the hook. When y'all got the message on your phone, 79 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: did you say to yourself. Oh man, did you did 80 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: your stomach drop up? This is what I thought. I'm like, Okay, 81 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna so much start in miss 82 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: play him as a situation to play. He just strengthens 83 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: their pass rush and it gives him more energy. I 84 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: think he's gonna be twenty five thirty players a game, 85 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: and a lot of it's gonna circle around that pass rush. 86 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: So that's what it does, is they like to get 87 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: a lead, like much like our defense, and impact you 88 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: with the pass rush in the turnovers. So that is 89 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: that is what worries you, is the fact that a 90 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: team that is solid have no holes at this point, 91 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: just got a little bit tougher, without a doubt. And 92 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: I think it was a great move from Philly standpoint, 93 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: because if he looked at what he did so far 94 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: this year in Chicago, one sack. You know, the previous 95 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: year he had eighteen and a half, eighteen and a 96 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: half balling, but this year he wasn't balling as much 97 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: because they were never really in the league. You know, 98 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: they were always you know, trailing or having to come back. 99 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: So the teams are going against the offenses he's going against, 100 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: they're milking a clock. They're running the ball. He doesn't 101 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: really have an opportunity to get off as a pass rusher, 102 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: But like you said, they would Philadelphia coming in and 103 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: picking him up. A lot of the times they get 104 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: all their points in the first half, so they're getting 105 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: up heavy on these teams and forcing teams to battle 106 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: back using the passing game. And that's exactly what Robert 107 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: Quinn does best, is get after the pass rusher. So 108 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: I think it'll give an opportunity for him on these 109 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: passing downs, like putting his ears back and really get 110 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: after teams and improve. My question to you, young blood, 111 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: is how much respect do you have fulfilling none at all. 112 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: This man has no respect. Seriously. I'm stand that he 113 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: liked me a fan hype and you know, I get 114 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: out of control. But the reality of the thing, we 115 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: all balled on a great level and we know the truth. 116 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: Give us the truth, yeah, man, I can't wait to yes, 117 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: give us the truth in the booths. That's right, give 118 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: us the truth. You know, I didn't like it. I 119 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: didn't like it. I didn't like it. I can't lie 120 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: to tell you I didn't like it. I didn't appreciate 121 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: that at all. I cried a little bit right right. 122 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: Once I finally got myself back together, I said, well, 123 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: what is we gonna do now? And I'm one of 124 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: those people, man, I believe in haste make waste. You know, 125 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: I don't want to make a move just because they're 126 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: making a move. But I am still looking at my 127 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: team and looking at the NFC's and saying, all right, man, 128 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: the Eagles are going forward. They're going forward. And you 129 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: look at the defense that's already loaded already. I mean, 130 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: you talk about embarrassment of riches on a defense that okay, 131 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: Brandon Graham, Fletcher Cost, Javon Hargrave, Robert Quinn on that, 132 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: Josh Wet, Jordan Davis, and the beat goes out waves 133 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: on wave, waves on waves, and they got too way 134 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: bird above corners. Oh yeah, they a secondary. I remember 135 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: you before the game, and I know we suppose be 136 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,239 Speaker 1: talking about the baron but they can't run on TV 137 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: and said, they said, what do you think about the 138 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: Cowboys receivers? He said, they get they ain't gonna make it. 139 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: I try to tell cast man, they're gonna get locked out. 140 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: Did he prompt? The left got up and left and 141 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: get up get up and walk off, dropped the micappen. 142 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: It happen, and it happened, And that just says to 143 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: me that that team is they have their their hand 144 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: on the pulse. They know uh that it's gonna be 145 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: tough going down the stretch and they are trying to 146 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: get behind this defense to get them to the championship. 147 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: But for you guys, when you see what they're doing 148 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: in the division and the Cowboys, obviously they make up 149 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: a trade for Big Hankins, do you believe that they're 150 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: finished in free agency? Y'all? Did that trade prompt you 151 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: to say, oh, we need to make a move as well. 152 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: Even though I kind of didn't like to move. What 153 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: did I thought that if we did anything, we would 154 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: try to find a receiver because I think part of 155 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: the run game against US is because we refused to 156 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: take control of time possession. You hit me said every week, 157 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 1: if we become a better third down team, we get 158 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: two more third downs, that's gonna give us two to 159 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 1: three minutes. We go from twenty eight to thirty one 160 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: to thirty two minutes. Our defense can live with that 161 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: twenty eight minutes a game. They can hunt. They can 162 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: hunt all day and you can run the ball on 163 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: them that but they ain't gonna be on that field. 164 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: But twenty eight minutes they can hunt. But since we don't, 165 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: like we're gonna get that wide receiver, we needed Jonathan Hankins. Yeah, 166 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: because if you're gonna keep that high performance defense on 167 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: the field like that and ask them to come out 168 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: of their character is to rush. Their character is not 169 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: to stop to run. And so you bring it in 170 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: a guy that's gonna show young Bohannon, Hey, bro, this 171 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: is how you put your hands in. Engage, get off, 172 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: make the towel. He's gonna be He's gonna prove big 173 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: dividends for this defense because, like you said, he could 174 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: be a mentor to the some of them young folks. Yes, 175 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: and to what I'm looking at, I'm not necessarily looking 176 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: at him being a you know, a great pa ask 177 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: Rush or anything like that. But if he can gobble 178 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: up a few lanes, if he didn't make you know, 179 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: not even like get crazy penetration, but just gobble up 180 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: a few lanes, I think he'll prove huge dividends. And 181 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: not only that, we talked about on a special edition, 182 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 1: keeping those offensive linemen them guards, those centers off for 183 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: your second level defenders. I mean, it makes it so 184 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: much easier as a walk down safety Curse or Wilson 185 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: or lv Bar and those guys. When you're a safety 186 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: coming down in a box and you got big guards 187 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: coming at you, your first initial thing is I gotta 188 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: avoid I gotta get out these guys way, And you're 189 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: just making the block easier for them and making the 190 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: whole bigger for the running back to get through. When 191 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: you got a guy like Hankins in there that can 192 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: gobble those guys up and give you the vision to 193 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: come down hill and go sideline, the sideline a lot easier. 194 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, it's night and day and not aggression 195 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: from that defense. You'll be able to see a huge 196 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: difference if he's able to go in there and do that. 197 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to seeing what Hankins got to 198 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: do just coming to Sunday. So, so, Nate, you're you're 199 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: basically saying that this front office they looked at this 200 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: team and they know they have circled the hotlighter on 201 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: the wide receiver group. Okay, but they weren't able to 202 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: make any moves. So are they saying status quo? We 203 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: can stay where we are and make this run. Are 204 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: you saying they just went with the move that they 205 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: knew they needed to make, and that was get a 206 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: bigger body upfront with Quentin Bohanna. Are you saying, hey, 207 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: they still they probably still looking this is the problem 208 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: is we could have answered this is if that when 209 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: they got hurt, right, they still trying to figure out 210 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: where do all these two receivers that's capable of planning 211 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: gallop and ceedee lamb, and how do that fit? We 212 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: know who chokes is, We know what Ferguson gonna do 213 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: in shols, but how do our receiver us coordinate with quarterback? 214 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: They haven't had a chance to see that. So now 215 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: you gotta take on faith. Whatever guy you see out 216 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: there before this deadline, we're getting him. But still he 217 00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: gonna have to come in, learn the verbage and what 218 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: we need. What we need more than anything, Fellas, is 219 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,719 Speaker 1: a receiver that's gonna catch the ball. That's the job. 220 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: That's what you be. You gotta have you got and 221 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: I'm not see I'm one of the few guys that's 222 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: not gonna knock CD because people forget one drafted in 223 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: the first round. So my expectations on the CD lambage. 224 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: But then I built myself up and everybody like, oh, 225 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: Nate was this, Nate was that? Yeah, and went and 226 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: went to Jackson Bell like before the bag was what 227 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: it was? You got it? So I'm there, But what 228 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: if we were first round? As man Is struggled a 229 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: live bit that our expectation for CD is much bigger, 230 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 1: I'm not and I'm still not giving up on him. 231 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: I'm thinking that they all get together and work together 232 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: these next few weeks, we making see a big thing 233 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: from kid, a big turnaround. Let me ask y'all this. 234 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I know we got you know Washington waiting 235 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: in the wings, James Washington. Do y'all think it's the 236 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: reason we haven't made it moves because they got faith 237 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,719 Speaker 1: that he can come in and be that guy. I mean, 238 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: in my opinion, there's a reason Pittsburgh let him go. 239 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I think I felt like he was a 240 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: flash player, like he had a couple of plays here 241 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: and there, but he wasn't consistent enough. And y'all talk 242 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: about catching the football. He wasn't consistent enough and catching 243 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: the football. So do y'all think that's why we didn't 244 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: make a move. They still they're still feeling high on 245 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: on James Washington being able to come in and kind 246 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: of kind of unified his wide receiver group. Yeah, that 247 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: and we valued and we overvalued draft picks. That and 248 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: we overvalued draft picks. The only reason that Marii Cooper 249 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: got in here are the guys before them got in 250 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: there because we just didn't have nothing. They feel like 251 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: we got something now, so we valued draft picks. You know, 252 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: a fifth if I was you know, and they probably 253 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: say as soon as I say this, that probably say 254 00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: that's why you ain't who jem? But but you would 255 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 1: never see me with filth and six and seven round picks. 256 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: They were like the cowboy had a fifth or six 257 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 1: or seven round pick in thirty years. That's called Nate 258 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 1: his DGM that I've been giving them away, But no 259 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: problem because I don't care how if you love your first, second, 260 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: and third round picks, that means you always building. When 261 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: are you gonna be there? See Philadelphia say I'm there, 262 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: the raums, I'm there that you at some point you 263 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: have to say I'm there. I need this guy. When 264 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: do we say that? We hadn't said that in a 265 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: long time. Long time. Now, Man, I know you know 266 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: when you can say clearly, man, this this this wide 267 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: receiver group is uh mid you know that this is 268 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: not what It's not what you're thinking is. I gotta 269 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: believe that the front office is saying the same thing. 270 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: They look at these guys and look at the production 271 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: that they're getting in. And man, I love what you 272 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: said about Dak getting hurt because it's hard to evaluate 273 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: a group when the guy that you thought was going 274 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: to be leading them is not there. But how I mean, 275 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: you can't wait very much longer to figure out if 276 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: James Washington can have the impact. Do you think he 277 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: can have ceedee Lamb can catch the ball? Or this 278 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: young tight end group can be productive as well. They're 279 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: kind of in limbo to me, and I think they're 280 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: accepting their faith. Either they know something we don't know, 281 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: or they're just saying, look this group of guys, man, 282 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: we can run with it. And I think they got 283 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: it in the bag. Going down to stretch, I personally 284 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: don't believe that. You know, And when you go into 285 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: another you're gonna see these eagles that are so talented, 286 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: so they are deep and so good. We're gonna see 287 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: Slave and Bradberry again. But getting over to Chicago, guys, 288 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta ask this question where we talked 289 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: about it yesterday, Nate about Eberflus in his defense, all right, 290 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: and what he's going to present as a challenge for 291 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: Dak in his offense. But on the other side of it, 292 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: here you bring in Justin Fields, who is a mobile quarterback, 293 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: which has been sort of a bugaboo for the Dallas 294 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: Cowboys defense. With all the weapons that they do have, 295 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: here's a staff that I think is very conflicting. And 296 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: they I'll throw this at you. The Bears have the 297 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: number one win rate, well, number two win rate at offense, okay, 298 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: meaning for two point five seconds they are winning their matchup. Okay, 299 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: But that number one in the league in sacks. That's 300 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: kind of fishing, right. Two of these things don't go 301 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: together because Justin Fields is holding onto the ball and 302 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: that's why they're ranked as low as they are. But 303 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: when you look at Chicago as a team in their offense, 304 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: where do you think this defense is? Mind state is 305 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: especially knowing that this guy is somebody that holds on 306 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: to the ball too long. You know what, I didn't 307 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: want to give Detroit a bad grade because they had 308 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: that one bad game against New England. But do we 309 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: turn around and give Justin Fields in his game a 310 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: good grade because they had a great game against that 311 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: same Patriots team. So we somewhere in the middle of that. 312 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: But what I saw from the quarterback, what I felt 313 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: is that I like went on. But I felt from 314 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: Luke uh Gaskey, the officive coordinator, they have found a 315 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: little something that he can do to help him throw 316 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: the ball. You know, if he throws the ball, well 317 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: it's over because they're gonna run and he can run. 318 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: I watched film on him in the first two or 319 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: three games. I mean, he's saying the rush, come see 320 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: a guy open, but he's not sure, and he holds 321 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: the ball. He let that rush get him. I saw 322 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: against the Patriots the same thing, but he and he 323 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: was gone right and he did this repeatedly. Man, I'm saying, 324 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: is the light thing came on? He made a few 325 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: passes he completed. So I like this kid. Man. I 326 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: like his arm. I like his is a looseness. I 327 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: just can't have it very explaining. Walk me off the cliff, now, 328 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: you right, man, A light switch might have come on, 329 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: you talk about Fields because you mentioned you know, early 330 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 1: on in the year, he was holding onto that thing forever. 331 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: He was holding on, waiting for somebody to open up. 332 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,719 Speaker 1: And in the league you can't. You gotta throw your 333 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: receivers open. You can't just let me wait. He got 334 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: a couple steps on him. Now I'm releasing because by 335 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: that time you're gonna get sacked or somebody. Other defenders 336 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: gonna come into that window and intercept the pass. So 337 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 1: to me, what happened with Fields is one, he's going 338 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 1: through his reads quicker. I feel like he's going, all right, 339 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: one's not there, two's not there. You know what, forget it, 340 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: let me take off and get going. And you saw 341 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: that against the Patriots. And also he's not he's more 342 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: willing to check that thing down. It's not like, all right, man, 343 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: it's not there. Let me go ahead and throw the 344 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: deep ball. Now he's gonna sitting there, Okay, it's not there. 345 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: There's Montgomery in the flat. Oh it's not there. There's 346 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: Clement right or five yards over. So he's taking what 347 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: the defense is given them. And that ship that shows 348 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: improvement as a quarterback because when you're young, you're always 349 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 1: looking for the big play. You're always looking for your 350 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: receivers out there and let me see what they can 351 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: do with the ball. But now that he's taking what 352 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 1: the defense is given, you seeing a guy he's growing. 353 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: He's growing. He already has the athleticism to go out 354 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: there and hurt you. But now once he's taking those checkdowns, 355 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: taking what the defense is giving them, he becomes a 356 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: much more dangerous quarterback. So cowboys, they definitely got their 357 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: hands full. But like I said, I don't think he's 358 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: seeing a pass rush like the cow like Dan Quinney's 359 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: cowboys are gonna give to him. So it's gonna be interesting. 360 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: Contest comes Sunday. Boy, y'all show giving a lot of 361 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: Justice Fields appreciation in here.

We had out of sterilized 422 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: it this. I'm trying to start over again. We're gonna 423 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 1: get to some tank lawrence appreciation over here. Okay, big 424 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: tank playing is tank playing some ball right now? Playing hard? 425 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: I mean we're talking about Michael we're talking about during 426 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: song Strong, We're talking about all these other guys and 427 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: they are doing a phenomenal job. Okay, but number ninety 428 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: is putting in work and that fumble on the one 429 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: yard line really kind of just made it all come 430 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: home for me because you talk about Michael Parson's hustle 431 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: play to stop the guy there at the one yard line, 432 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: but that play you come back door that with tanks play. 433 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: I think, man, that that to me was just a 434 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: special sequence on defense between two athletes that man combine. 435 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: I think if you get behind these two guys on defense, man, 436 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: that could take you far. I mean take launch his 437 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: career as a Dallas Cowboys obviously with injuries and all 438 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: of that. But right now, Nate he playing his tail off. Yeah, 439 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: he's making those plays. You don't see the players that 440 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: don't show up on the stat line. You know, we 441 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: don't normally, Oh look at that guy hitting for a 442 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: loss and all that, unless you know it's in this 443 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: situation that he forces you to talk about it. He 444 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: does one or two of them every game. He does 445 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: one or two them every game, and he's always talking 446 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: and put guys, I mean, you can't slow down with him. 447 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: So my hats off, man, you know, I'm one of 448 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: them dudes. I'm looking, you know, as an analysm, like 449 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: man's tanks. What tank doing, you know. But then he's 450 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: making his plays, he's doing what he needed to do, 451 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: and he's he's driving these young guys without a doubt. 452 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: I mean, you hit it right there. I mean, the 453 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: guy's making a lot of unsum plays. That goal line 454 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: play where he fights through two blockers to help knock 455 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: the ball loose, and Williams which was a huge play 456 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,479 Speaker 1: in the game. And then our buddy, you know, Isaiah 457 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: did a breakdown of them, and you see all the 458 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: things that he's doing out there that don't necessarily hit 459 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: the stat sheet. Dan Quinn has this guy, you know, 460 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: slanting down hard, taking three offensive lineman with him to 461 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: open up the one on one with Sam Williams or 462 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: open up the one on one with Parsons or during 463 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: Armstrong on the other side. So he's doing a lot 464 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: of that dirty work out there that a lot of 465 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: cats would be like, Man, I'm the Marcus Lawrence. I 466 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: ain't doing all that dirty work since somebody else to 467 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: set that thing up. But he's going out there he's 468 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: a leader of this defense. He's got these guys playing 469 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: together as a unit, and he's playing unselfish ball. He's 470 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: he's the numbers that Parsons are putting up and Dorance 471 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: Armstrong is putting up in and rightfully so, those guys 472 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: are amazing players. But this guy right here is the 473 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: glue and he's what's bringing all that together because he's 474 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 1: sacrificing a lot of plays so other guys can make 475 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: plays out there. And I think he's doing a remarkable 476 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: job as a leader and the glue to that defensive 477 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: line for both of you guys, obviously being on teams 478 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: that have gone to the Super Bowl, teams that have 479 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: made a push. When you have a veteran presence like 480 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: that that you see playing unselfish ball, taking on what 481 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: you what you would say categorically, especially when you looking 482 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: at your check on Tuesday, Hey man, you might want 483 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: to get somebody else to do that. How contagious is 484 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: that for you as a team when you have your 485 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: leader doing it's it's it's unbelievable. Because when I was 486 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville we made that long run. The guy that 487 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: was kind of that unsung hero was Klais Campbell. I 488 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: mean he came in there part of that defensive line 489 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: and he molded all those young cats because we had 490 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: a young Dante Fowler, we had a young u Yanni 491 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: King got way over there, so we had a lot 492 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: of young talent out there that didn't have any direction. 493 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 1: When you got a guy like Kalais him or the 494 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: Marcus Lawrence coming there and show these guys the right 495 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: way to play ball, unselfish ball, knowing that you know 496 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,239 Speaker 1: you might not get all these sack numbers, but you're 497 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: setting your teammates up so they can have success as well. 498 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: I mean it's contagious throughout the entire unit, and you 499 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: play more as a unit, and it's not like, oh, 500 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: there's the D line right there, here's the linebackers over here, 501 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: the secondaries back there. When you got a guy and 502 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,199 Speaker 1: a leader that the whole defense follows, it makes you 503 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: play together as a unit. And those are the best 504 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: defense I've been on, the unselfish units that that just 505 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: you know, hey, this is our leader, this is the 506 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: way we're going with it. Let's follow his direction. Those 507 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 1: are the best defenses I played with Big Nack. I'm 508 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: a grand Yes, no, Man, I think it's awesome. Thirty 509 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: two tackles so far in the season, three sacks, and 510 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: a lot of people that, like you said, the things 511 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: that don't jump out on the stat sheet, the things 512 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 1: that you see him doing. But I think even in 513 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: the run, as much as we've been talking about the 514 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys in the twentieth ranked defense for rushing, uh, 515 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,719 Speaker 1: you see him do so many wonderful I've seen so 516 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: many wonderful things on him on Hape and just the 517 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,479 Speaker 1: way that he's handling his role with Man, he's new 518 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: top gun with Micah. You know it's it's really unselfish 519 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: and you love you love to see you love to 520 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: see don to see it. But given a Zeke update, Man, 521 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 1: we gotta draw attention to this because I think it's 522 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: going to be a pivotal point of concern in this game. 523 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 1: If Ezekiel Elliott is not able to play, he didn't 524 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: practice again today. This is the second time this week 525 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: that he has not practiced, Nate. If Zeke isn't isn't 526 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 1: capable of playing, obviously you lose a dimension to your 527 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: running game. But bigger than that, you you lose a 528 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: dimension to your your past protection how worried are you? 529 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: Uh if Zeke isn't able to play in this game 530 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,719 Speaker 1: as far as protecting Dak's everything to me, you know, 531 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: because once you start playing the game, ain't nobody about 532 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: how much money you make. That's for you know. And 533 00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: I gotta tell people, you don't very even understandings. He 534 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: plays famish football. I don't. And he even he understands 535 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: the importance Zeke. Yeah, you know, now he may and 536 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: that's what I tell people. You know, Pollard is explosive, 537 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: got more twenty yard runs, great fantasy guy, gets an 538 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: end zone, all of that, But Dak need for you 539 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: to pick up that linebacker. Ain't got it to dotaspecial reality. 540 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: Pick up your linebacker, give us give a little bit 541 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 1: better effort. Nobody never questions tone the ability except when 542 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: we ask him for that extra protection. And that is 543 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: where Zeke is it. He softens up everything. He sets 544 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: the tone along with the officers line or being physical. 545 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: That is everything to being a running team. Yeah, not 546 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: only you know in that pass blocking situation, but like 547 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: you said that he tender rises that defense. You know, 548 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: first and second quarter defense. Are we're gonna hit him? 549 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: Were gonna go up to how we're gonna mash you're 550 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: gonna get going that third and fourth quarter that defense. 551 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: They start to say, I don't know, I don't know 552 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: if I want that smoke like that, and then here 553 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: comes Polar busting the big one up the middle. So 554 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: I think Zeke has a lot, a lot of um 555 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: benefits for this offense, blocking for Dad, Prescott out there, 556 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: being a tender riser for the defense, just wearing those 557 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: guys down. When you got a guy like that, it's 558 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: it's huge dividends. So if he's not able to play 559 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: in this game, it's gonna it's gonna be tough. But 560 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: Pouler's gonna have to come through and he's gonna have 561 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: to step up. He and you know who was back up, 562 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: Malike Davis out there, they're gonna have to do that 563 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: one too, combo, because I don't I'm not sure if 564 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: they're just gonna throw everything on Polar like that. I mean, 565 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: I was talking to Cole and I think the last 566 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: time he had, you know, high carries was in college 567 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: against wake Furd, so you think you might have been 568 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: there too, Wake Force he has seventeen carries, So I 569 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna throw the whole plate on him, 570 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: but it's gonna be a lot bigger sample size and 571 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: he's used to out there. Yeah, and it's the physicality 572 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: for me, Nate, that I worry about. Feel Like you said, 573 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: he sets the tone up front with picking up those 574 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: linebackers as you know what twenty one is in there. 575 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: Linebackers even hesitate because they know he gonna bring his 576 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: wallet with him up front. But here's an opportunity for 577 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: Pollard as well. We know Malik Davis. What I've seen 578 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: of Malique has been in preseason, so I can only 579 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 1: base it off of what I've seen in preseason. But 580 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: he seems to be a guy that could pick up 581 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: the tough yards. He seems to be a guy that 582 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: also can get receptions out of the backfield. And that's 583 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: something that we have not seen from this running back group. 584 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: I guess in what we see in years past, uh 585 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: this receiving this excuse me, running back group getting receptions 586 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: out of the backfield. But if we have to go 587 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: with those two guys, are you do you feel comfortable 588 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: with them carrying the load in Zeke's absence, I'm gonna 589 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: say yes, I feel comfortable I'm not ecstatic about it, 590 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: like you know, I still feel like that Zeke's gonna 591 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: be a heavy loss for this offense. But I do 592 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: feel comfortable giving Tony Pollard, you know, an extended role 593 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: out there. You know, I feel as though it's not 594 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: gonna be all on his shoulders. You know, you get 595 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: Maliue Davis in there as well, but I feel comfortable. 596 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: I feel like he'll have a more heightened sense of 597 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: protection when it comes to, you know, in the backfield, 598 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: picking up the right guys, not getting fulled with stunts 599 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: and not getting any free rushers to Dak Prescott. I 600 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: feel like he'll have a more heightened sense of that 601 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: because you won't have Zeke in there picking up those blocks. 602 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: It'll be up to you, big dog. So to me, 603 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: I'm comfortable with it. I don't love it, but I 604 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: am comfortable with it now. Nate, this is this is 605 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: for you, because I know you love you love Dak 606 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: like I love Dak. But now look, Kellen Moore, he's 607 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: been good, y'all. He been he'd been good. You know, 608 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: he's kept it pretty balanced. Twenty five passes last week, 609 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: didn't get crazy. More than thirty rushes last week. That's 610 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: what we've all been talking about. But here we are 611 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: in a situation where Zeke may not be Zeke and 612 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: that may change this week. With his thumb, with the pressure, 613 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: with all of that, Dude, you trust that Dak can 614 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: make these throws in a game that maybe you may 615 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: need him to make one or two throws. Yeah, yes, yes, 616 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: you know. I get into it on our show all 617 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: the time with Jesse. In the order to win consistently 618 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: in this game, you got to throw the ball that's 619 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: in the end zone as in the open field, even 620 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: backed up on you're one, you got to drop back 621 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: sometimes and throw that ball. Uh, And I have no 622 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: problem with that. Dak was back. He came back in 623 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: the second half. It was a little bit more paused. Uh. 624 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: It's things that can happen for Dak. H office the 625 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: line has to be much better to give him the 626 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: opportunities because he knows who the thoughts who just give 627 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: him the time and uh, he went through that in 628 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: the first half and I think him and kill him. 629 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: And the obviously the court, the office of Coordinate, Excuba, 630 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: the quarterback coach, they're gonna sit down and they're gonna 631 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: figure this thing out. And they'll have a great, a 632 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: great plan because you're gonna have to throw it. I 633 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: don't care. It's gonna come from games where you're gonna 634 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: have to throw the ball and barry when you I 635 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: mean in your years in the in the NFL and 636 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: looking at the teams that have championship level defenses, all 637 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: you have to really be as a quarterback as a 638 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: game manager. And that's a cuss word to a quarterback. 639 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: No old quarterback wants to hear game manager. But that's 640 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: kind of the box that everybody is saying that dad 641 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: can successfully exist in going through these next couple of 642 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: games and win a lot of games. But you ain't 643 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: paying that man forty million dollars a year just to 644 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: be a bus drive. Nah, not at all. And look, 645 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: you know, last week, I feel like he did a 646 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: good job of being kind of that manager of the offense. 647 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 1: I think he went nineteen for twenty five. He kept 648 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: the ball out of harm's way, and he leaned on 649 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: his strengths, which is the defense in the run game 650 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: and that you know, it may not be flashy. You know, 651 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: it may not put up a lot of points. You 652 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: might not have a lot of offensive pro bowlers doing 653 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: it that way, but you're gonna win games and at 654 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: the end of the day that that should be all 655 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: that matters. Now, you know, he's had another week under 656 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,479 Speaker 1: his belt with practicing. I'm sure that rapport between him 657 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: and his receivers and his tight ends. I think that's 658 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: gonna get better and better as the weeks go on. 659 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: So I can see Colamore kind of open ended up 660 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: a little bit him. But as of right now, if 661 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: he were to stay in that manager role and kind 662 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 1: of you know, nineteen twenty five, maybe get a twenty 663 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: for thirty out here and there, I think it'll do 664 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: him justice. And as they get further and further along 665 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: in the season, he'll open it up a little bit. 666 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: He'll get more comfortable with it. But right now, I 667 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 1: feel like this offense and DAK like they're in a 668 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 1: good space. I mean that maybe not this week, but 669 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: going into the next couple of games, you go up 670 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 1: against some of the biggest quarterbacks as far as head 671 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 1: to head competition, and that's the way that you know, 672 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 1: how you guys think about that, that's the head to 673 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: head competition me Aaron Rodgers Kirk Cousins, I want to 674 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,839 Speaker 1: outdue these guys and for Dak, and I guess I'm 675 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: looking at this only one sided. From the running situation. 676 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,839 Speaker 1: We've gotten our answered with Tony Pollard and Zeke mixing. Well, 677 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: now you take him out of the equation. And I've 678 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: been saying this pretty soon even with Cooper Rush. Pretty 679 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: soon Rush was gonna half to cook, and pretty soon 680 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: Dak is gonna have to turn back into Dack and 681 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: make some of those throws. So I love to answer 682 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: the political I see you just gave me, but was 683 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: that Yes. I know he gonna have to be he 684 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: gonna have to go out there throw a little bit, 685 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: And I just don't want a situation to happen to where, 686 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,280 Speaker 1: like you said, he's going against one of these marquee 687 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and he feels like, you know what, this is 688 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 1: my time. I gotta show that that I'm on the 689 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 1: same level as them. He's going up there. We got 690 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: a run called you know what, kill, Kill Kill, We're 691 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 1: going this that in the third. I don't want to 692 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: get into that situation because I feel like that's not 693 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: where this team is right now. I feel like they're 694 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: not built that way, but I can see it happening 695 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 1: I can see it happening. So for your answer, I'm 696 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 1: gonna say, yes, he's gonna be able to cook, and 697 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: eventually he's gonna have to cook to get this team 698 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: to where they need to be. You know, he said 699 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 1: out there in the press conference the postgame show, I'm 700 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: not gonna hurt this team at all. I'm good when 701 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: he when he said that, I'm good with you. Don't 702 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: hurt this team, and he understands. Like I said, I'm 703 00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:02,359 Speaker 1: gonna stay in my lad. Yeah. The thing is. The 704 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:10,240 Speaker 1: thing is the greatest quarterback in modern history has always 705 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 1: been a critical and super game manager. And he's won 706 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 1: six seven Super Bowls. Right now, that's it, that's facts. 707 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: So I laughed. He had Random Moss a couple of years, 708 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: set all type of records and got beat in the 709 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Come back the next year with two little 710 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: Schlot receivers in a big tight end and win the 711 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Do what you gotta do, because at the 712 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: end of the day, Troy Win got three super Bowls 713 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 1: and not through over two hundred and fifty yards over 714 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,240 Speaker 1: half the season. Win the game. Baby, they're gonna new 715 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 1: making sense again, making sense again to my stay man. 716 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 1: You deserve that dirt you just hung around. Man. I 717 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: appreciate that, mate, but we're gonna take our last break 718 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 1: here on the players now, stay rocking with us, would 719 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:04,320 Speaker 1: be right back. Nobody protects you from mayhem like All State. 720 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: You hear that, I'm a torrential downpour. Torrential?

So 724 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,760 Speaker 1: switch to all State, save money and be better protected 725 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,359 Speaker 1: from mayhem like me based on coverage in them, it's 726 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: selected subject to terms, conditions, and availability.
