4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: in stay awhile. We'll chop up last night's Cowboys win

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: over the Eagles, look ahead to what the next seven

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: to eight games are going to look like for the

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: Damlas Cowboys, And if you're a Cowboy fan, you're gonna

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: like what I'm going to tell you. Brandon Staley of

9
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: the Chargers head coach. Five years ago he was coaching

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: a game against Heidelberg. I believe he's now coaching the

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: Chargers fresh off a win in Kansas City. The former

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: University of Dayton grad will join us a little bit

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,559

19
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: close to four hundred cities around America that take this

20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: award nominated program. We knew the Cowboys offense was going

21
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: to be good. That's no surprise. We wanted to see

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: how healthy Dak Prescott was going to be. Looks like

23
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: he has put that injury behind him. The questions were

24
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: on defense despite having big names, and it feels like

25
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: when you play for the Cowboys, you get maybe an

26
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: over inflated self worth there because you're like, wow, you

27
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: start for the Cowboys. Yeah, the defense oh historically bad

28
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: last season, but the defense last night was the co

29
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: star and impressive win over the Eagles. Two interceptions, you

30
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: had to pick six and Jalen Hurts struggled all night long.

31
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: New defensive coordinator Dan Quinn getting rave reviews and rightfully so.

32
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: The offense is outstanding. But if this team is going

33
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: to go anywhere in the playoffs, the defense is going

34
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: to play a large role. And Michael Parsons, wherever they

35
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: line him up, he might be their version of G. J. Watt.

36
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: Just line him up and let him go. But the

37
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Eagles are a rebuilding team, even if they don't admit it.

38
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: But it seems like a long time ago when Dak

39
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: Prescotte started out thirteen and three. That was his rookie

40
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: season and it felt like Dallas was building towards being

41
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: a contender that was twenty sixteen. Cowboy fans gotta have

42
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: your hopes up. Maybe you're headed in the right direction

43
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: and can finally live up to the hype that's always

44
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: surrounding this team. And you start to look at their

45
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: schedule down the road, and I thought that they could

46
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: be eight and two after ten games. They had the

47
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: loss against Tampa, although they played him pretty well. You

48
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: win in Los Angeles against a very good Charger team,

49
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: You blow out the Eagles, and rightfully so. Then you

50
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: have Carolina, good defense, a little better offense than you

51
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: probably expect. Then you have the Giants. You can win

52
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: both of those games. Those are at home. You're at

53
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 1: New England. I don't know what New England's going to

54
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: look like by then you're at Minnesota. Your guests is

55
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: as good as mine as to what kind of Minnesota

56
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: team shows up there. Denver new and improved. And then

57
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: you host Atlanta and then you're at Kansas City. Okay,

58
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: you could be eight and two, and I think that

59
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: if you're a Cowboy fan, you would take that eight

60
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: and two. You're in a bad division, take advantage of it.

61
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: You shouldn't lose any of those games. Now you will,

62
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: you'll get picked off by somebody. But that's where you

63
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: win those games, and that gives you how many wins

64
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: this year eleven, twelve, maybe thirteen. You've got to get

65
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: a home field advantage here, at least for one game.

66
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: That's the most important important part of all of this.

67
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: When you start to handicap who's going to the Super Bowl,

68
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: I start with who's going to have the best record,

69
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: who's going to have home field advantage? Who takes advantage

70
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: of their division? If that's where Dallas has to take

71
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: advantage of who they play in their division. Same with

72
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: the Packers. That's why I thought the Packers were going

73
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: to go to the NFC title game because they play

74
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: in a bad division. Take advantage of that bad division.

75
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: With the Lions and the Bears, Vikings, you know, you're

76
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: not quite sure what you're getting Jackelin hide there. But

77
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: when they're good, they can be really good. But we've

78
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: seen them be inconsistent eight seven seven three d P

79
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: Show email address DPA dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle

80
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: at DP show McLevin, do you have something for me?

81
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: By the way, Trayvon Diggs has established himself as a

82
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: very very good cornerback around the league. Now, do I

83
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: think that that pick six was an amazing you know

84
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: play by him? No, I thought that Davante Smith cost

85
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts there. He just seems like he's a little

86
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: more fragile off the line where you can knock him

87
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: off his path. And that's why. You know, when this

88
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: first started, when Davonte Smith was going to win the

89
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 1: Heisman and I said to you, I got an NFL

90
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: scout who said, Jamar Chase will be better than Davonte

91
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: Smith in the NFL. And it caught it. You know,

92
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people off guard because they're, wait, he's

93
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy winner. Jamar Chase didn't even play the

94
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: previous year. And I just said, I'm only going by

95
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: what the scout has told me. Davante Smith is having

96
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: a hard time getting off the line of scrimmage. You

97
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: can body him a little bit. Jamar Chase is off

98
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: to a very good start for the Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah, Paul,

99
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: if any commentator, any analyst says Davante Smith isn't big

100
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: enough to play in the NFL, we have to quash

101
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: that because remember when anyone would criticize him for that

102
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: last spring Yeah, you got lit up. Oh he's not

103
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: too small, don't worry about it. Shut up. He's gonna

104
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: be great. It was people told you to stop even

105
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: saying that kind of stuff. Yeah, And I don't know

106
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: how good he's going to be. I just know he

107
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: was the difference maker in college football last year and

108
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: he deserved the Heisman Trophy. But you almost have to

109
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: get him in motion where you can't put your hands

110
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: on him. And I'll talk to Chris Sims about that.

111
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: He'll join us coming up. Where how do you use

112
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: Davante Smith so you can take advantage of that extra

113
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: gear he has when he turns the corner. But Jamar

114
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: Chase is a far more physical, imposing receiver and you're

115
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: seeing him, you know, once he figured out there's no

116
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: white line on the football like it is in college,

117
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: he seems to be focusing in on catching the football

118
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: the first three games of the season, scoring touchdowns. What

119
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: else do you have mic Clevin Okay on the Cowboys?

120
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: What is going to screw them up eventually in the playoffs.

121
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: Is it going to be Mike McCarthy with a mental error.

122
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: Is it going to be the officials, allah, the Dez

123
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: Bryant catch or is a defense going to fall apart?

124
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: Pieces we know something always happens in the playoffs. It's

125
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: hard to have a bad night when you win forty

126
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: one twenty one. But I think Mike McCarthy had a

127
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: bad night because you're going into halftime and you're going

128
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: when Peyton is yelling, Mike, gotta call it time out,

129
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: gotta get a time out. I think the official went

130
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: over to McCarthy just to kind of help him out

131
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: and go, you're gonna call it time out, dude, and

132
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: then he waved him off, and I went, that's not good, Mike.

133
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: And most teams have a clock guy. I don't know

134
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: if Dallas does, where they go, Okay, take the time

135
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: out now. Then we'll wait and then we'll tell good

136
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: time out here. I'm watching last night. I felt like

137
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy knew as much as I did. And I'm

138
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: going my call timeout and then Peyton goes call Mike

139
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: called time out. Yeah, I'm glob Andy Reid was famously

140
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: the worst of this, and McCarthy, I think is a

141
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: mentee of Andy Reid. They need a clock eye. Then

142
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: they eventually hired a clock eye because what Peyton said,

143
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. Hey, we're gonna call it

144
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: time out. I want to show my offense that I

145
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: have so much confidence in them. We're gonna get one

146
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: more chance before the end of the first half. Now,

147
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: I know it's not a big deal because you won,

148
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: but to me, it's a big deal. Sometimes it's a

149
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: microcosm when it comes down to is my coach going

150
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: to out coach your coach? I don't know that. If

151
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm a Cowboys fan, you want the offense to be supported.

152
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: You want to have all that confidence to say, hey,

153
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: hey guys, I'm gonna get the ball back. You know,

154
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: let's go in and score again. It's almost like Mike

155
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: McCarthy was saying, no, no, we're good. No, you know,

156
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: let's just go into halftime. Small thing, but small things

157
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: lead up to a big game when you have a

00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: big moment like that, and how much confidence are you

172
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: mclove and anything else? Yeah, okay, who is the most

173
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: dangerous non obvious NFC contender? So I'm taking the Bucks out,

174
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: I'm taking the Rams out, and I'm gonna take the

175
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: Packers out. If I gave you these teams, who is

176
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: the most dangerous The Dallas Cowboys, the New Orleans Saints,

177
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: the undefeated Carolina Panthers, or the Arizona Cardinals. I'm awesome

178
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: not playing the Niners in that list because I think

179
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: maybe they're kind of obvious. So who's like the team

180
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: that not everyone picked in the preseason? Who could emerge?

181
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: The Saints. I think we thought that Dallas could win

182
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: their division. You know, the Saints are in there with Carolina.

183
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: I thought Atlanta was going to be much improved, and

184
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: then you have Tampa Bay and the Saints defense looks legitimate.

185
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna come down to can Jamis Winston not lose

186
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: games for you. The Saints still have a pretty good team,

187
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: but they you know, they don't have Michael Thomas. Yeah,

188
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: but I don't know how good they're going to be.

189
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what this ceiling is Dallas has.

190
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: There's no glass ceiling. With their offense, it feels like

191
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: and Zeke ran well last night, Pollard, I like a lot,

192
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: you know, but you're averaging over five yards to carry.

193
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: Like if you and do that now, all of a

194
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: sudden play action works. It looks like, you know, they

195
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: found a tight end and Shultz they got weapons there,

196
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: they got speed on the outside. And Dak looked wonderful.

197
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: He looked great. But it's against Philadelphia, and I like

198
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: what they did against Tampa in Tampa opening night. I

199
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: think if you're looking at who had a great month

200
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: of September, Dallas is up there on the list. I

201
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: really believe that. And they found a defensive star. Two

202
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: digs in Parsons. You know, you have an impact player

203
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: up front and you have a great defensive back. This

204
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: is what the Rams have. Not to say that, Aaron Donald,

205
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: you know, Jalen Ramsey that the Dallas Cowboys have, you know,

206
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: the equivalent they don't. But if you have that one

207
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 1: impact guy rushing and you have that one defensive back

208
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: who's a lockdown corner, that's really really valuable as you

209
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: go into the postseason. Do I have a guy who

210
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: can make a play. Do you have a couple of

211
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: guys who can make a play? Because these playoff games

212
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: come down to did you stop them or did you not? Really,

213
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: that's what it comes down to. All of these games,

214
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: it feels like, except for the Super Bowl, and that

215
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: was a blowout. Yeah. McClellan, and they they're injured all

216
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: over the place. He'll get Collins back, I'll get some

217
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: of these defensive veterans back. Now it's they could be

218
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: even better. So the Cowboys roll three touchdown passes for

219
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: Dak The wide receiver Josh Gordon reinstated and he picked

220
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, which was interesting. I didn't know he got

221
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: to pick where he wanted to go. But Josh Gordon,

222
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 1: who back in twenty thirteen, had one of the great

223
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: seasons in recent memory for a wide receiver. That's a

224
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: long time ago, long time ago. I think he had

225
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: sixteen hundred yards that season, Yeah, PAULI, Yeah, twenty thirteen.

226
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: He was twenty two years old. Eighty seven catches, sixteen

227
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards, nineteen yards a reception. Yeah, let

228
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: the league. But he's been with the Patriots, he's been

229
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: with Seattle's been in and out of the league, and

230
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna go to the Chiefs. Yeah, let's see anything

231
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: else that we need to mention here before we get

232
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: to Chris sims Y askem club, I have a pull option.

233
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: Are you gonna miss Eli and Painter off for the

234
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: next three weeks per their contract? Are you gonna miss

235
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: that second telecast for Monday Night Football? Yeah? Yeah, I

236
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: enjoy it. I don't. I don't need the guest. You know,

237
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: sometimes it's night and Lebron. Last night was interesting because

238
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: it's Lebron, He's talking football. Although Lebron wanted to show off,

239
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: I think for Peyton and Eli, you know when you know,

240
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: when when you're getting to that second level, you know,

241
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: and all I'm like, oh, Okay, I thought he was gonna,

242
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: you know, take a cut off the top of the

243
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: muffin or whatever it is, or cover two, whatever it is.

244
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: But you know, I remember guys who lived in the

245
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: Cleveland area who talked about Lebron as a football player

246
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: when he was in high school and that he was

247
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: all state, and uh, you know he was asking, you know,

248
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: did anybody he approached him? The Cowboys? Did? He brought

249
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: up Seattle Seahawks with Pete Carroll during the lockout. But

250
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: do I think Lebron could have played in the NFL? Yeah? Absolutely?

251
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: Let me put him a tight end. I mean he

252
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: can run, he's big, he got good hands. Like what

253
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: am I missing here? These if these other failed basketball

254
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: players are playing tight end, why wouldn't Lebron be able

255
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: to play? Unless you take that first hit and you're like,

256
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: I don't like this, because that's what happens. Sometimes it's

257
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: like wow, that hurt. Yeah. Yeah, he did admittedly say

258
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: after getting banged up a bunch of I don't need this.

259
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: I could just play basketball. I don't got to deal

260
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: with getting tackled and banged around like that. Yeah. He

261
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: complains about calls in the NBA where you're like, you know,

262
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: somebody smacks your hand or something. You imagine in the

263
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: NFL if you put NBA guys in the NFL and

264
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: had them complain about contact, that would be great, Like,

265
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: come on, you got to call that after every play. Yeah,

266
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: they showed a clip of Lebron in high school. He's

267
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: got big older pads and he's probably seven inches taller

268
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: than the defensive back next to him. It looks like

269
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: a movie where they had let a thirty year old

270
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: play with a bunch of kids. All right, what are

271
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: we going to settle on? McLevin. I think we should

272
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: do the most non obvious contender because I find your

273
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: Saints call very interesting. I think they might win that poll. Well,

274
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: I want to see a little bit more of Dallas,

275
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: but I like what I'm seeing so far that if

276
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: the offense is really good, choose up the clock. I

277
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: keep that defense off the field. This was how they

278
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: were successful when they went thirteen and three. I mean

279
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: that's that. My defense isn't great, not even good. Let's

280
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: keep them all let's reduce the exposure level. Yeah, mccle

281
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: but do you have trouble trusting them? Sure? Him? The pass?

282
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: I like Dak. I'm not big on Zeke. I want

283
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: to see these receivers in a big game, big moment.

284
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: How do they do? And then you know, Parsons is

285
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: fascinating undersaw going into the draft, you know, my source said,

286
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, the Cowboys would be lucky to get him.

287
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the guy they should be going after.

288
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: It's just Dallas, you know, with Jerry, Jerry loves offense

289
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: and you need defense. A Diggs was the second round pick,

290
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: I believe, not even a first round pick. But I

291
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: like what I'm seeing. But if you get those easy wins.

292
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: It's hard to get an easy win in the NFL.

293
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: But if you breathe through Philadelphia, the Giants, Washington may

294
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: be not the team we thought they were going to be.

295
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: Then that's the difference. You know, the Chiefs have a

296
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: tough division here Tampa with the Saints and Carolina, maybe

297
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: a little tougher than people expected. Green Bay should have

298
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: an easier time in that division, certainly with the Bears

299
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: and the Lions. That's what you're looking for the Rams.

300
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: That's a tough division top to bottom. Now that's rival

301
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: you know the AFC West. You know how many wins

302
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: can you get and you get home field advantage. We'll

303
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: take a break, we'll talk to Chris Simms on loan

304
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: from NBC Sports. He'll join us coming up, and we'll

305
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: get to your phone calls. Settle on our poll question.

332
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: our Twitter handle at dps Show. I gave this to

333
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: ESPN a couple of weeks ago. They're still not capitalizing

334
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: on it. You have Monday Night Football, you have Manning

335
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: Night Football, just called Manning Night Football. I was watching

336
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: last night. It's free. You know, you don't even have

337
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: to give credit. It sures Manning Night Football. Here's Lebron

338
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: James joining paid in an ELI last night talking about

339
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: NFL team's interested in signing him. Jerry Joels offered me

340
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: a contract also. I Pete Carroll did as well in

341
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: Seattle during our lockout time, and they definitely got my

342
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: blood flowing again, got my mind racing again, thinking about

343
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: the game of football. You know, being out there on Sundays.

344
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: You know he's able to get a deal done in

345
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: the NBA. And I was back on the court at

346
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: no time, but I definitely thought about it. I still

347
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: got the jersey too, that Jerry Anthony Carroll sent me

348
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: from twenty eleven. I love this conversation because football guys

349
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: get so territorial when you say, hey, how would Shack

350
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: do as a football player? Oh, he wouldn't be good

351
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: at all. How would Alan Iverson do? Oh he wouldn't

352
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: be good at all. I'm like, Iverson would have been

353
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: Michael Vick and probably better. If you ask Michael Vick

354
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: and Lebron. Oh, Lebron, once you get hit and I'll

355
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, he's gonna hit you too. Let's see

356
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: if Chris Sims, his territorial Pro Football Talk Live co

357
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: host and of course, Football Night in America analyst, two

358
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: sports star in high school, how would Lebron due as

359
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: an NFL player if I put him at tight end? Chris,

360
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: I have a hard time thinking he wouldn't be a

361
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: really good tight end. I mean, if that's what he

362
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: decided to put all his interests in and go that route. Yeah,

363
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: I would think he'd be able to pull that off.

364
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 1: You know. The one thing that I always come to

365
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: with guys like that. You know, even though hey, gronk right,

366
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: he's six six and a half six seven, Lebron's six

367
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: eight plus. Yeah, the issue those guys fall into Dan

368
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: is their knees will be hut it just headhunted. That's

369
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 1: really the only thing that I would ever be concerned about.

370
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: I know, Lebron James can play tight end and do that,

371
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: just nobody. He's just gonna he's so long and so,

372
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: you know, just high cut wasted. That's where it gets

373
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: dangerous for those guys because every safety and linebacker is

374
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: gonna go right at those knees, and that's where it

375
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: gets dangerous. But you will have football players they played

376
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: basketball in college and then they come into the NFL.

377
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: That doesn't happen the other way around, Chris, where somebody

378
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: plays college basketball college football and they go, you know,

379
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 1: i'd link to play in the NBA. No, No, you're right,

380
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: it does not. It does not happen. Well, I mean

381
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,719
Speaker 1: usually hey, it's you know, NBA got some freaky guys,

382
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of my and Dada and my

383
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: dad and I have this conversation a lot. We'll go

384
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: watch good high school basketball games and see a guy that's,

385
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: you know, a six sixth center, you know, in a

386
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: high school basketball game in New Jersey, right, and he's

387
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: a high and then we go and look at each

388
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: other and go, man, he's he's belonging it. He'll just

389
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: be another guy in basketball. But he could be a

390
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,239
Speaker 1: tight end, or if he decided to put weight on,

391
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: he'll be an unbelievable left or right tackle in the NFL.

392
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: He's wasting his time trying to play center in the NBA.

393
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: You're right, you see that more I think on that

394
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: side than vice versa. Do I think there's like some

395
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: receivers and dbs and tight ends in the NFL who

396
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: decided to, like, oh, I want to play NBA basketball.

397
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: I could do it. I certainly do you know. I

398
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: look at Russell Westbrook in the NBA and go, man,

399
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: if he wanted to play receiver and be one of

400
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: the best in football back in high school, he could

401
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: have done that too. So I do think it's the

402
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: two sports with the most athletic freaky guys as far

403
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: as sports are concerned. How would Shack have done in

404
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: the NFL. I mean, he'd be unbelievable. How it's almost

405
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: like it's inconceivable. I don't even know what to think. Like,

406
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: he'd be impossible to run around if he was a

407
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: left tackle, Like, how could you ever get around him?

408
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: He's got good feet and even if you think he

409
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: got the edges arms are like six feet long, he'd

410
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: push you by guys. So I guess the biggest thing

411
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: with him is could he get down in the three

412
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: point stands and react to the quickness and everything of

413
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: that nature? Like again, now, Shack is a really big

414
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: human seven one right, three hundred and thirty pounds in

415
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: his career. Again, that's really big and strong. But let's

416
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: not forget in the NBA and the NFL, you got

417
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: a lot of guys who were six four and six

418
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: five and three hundred pounds and got a lower center

419
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: of gravity. And I do think would be able to

420
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: push him around, maybe more than we think, just because

421
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: of the way he's built. But you know, he could

422
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: probably do it. He's such a freak of nature, all right,

423
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: Any concerns if you're a Cowboys fan after what you've

424
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: seen through the first three games. No, I don't think

425
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: I got on any concerns. It's all positives, I think

426
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: at this point right here, you know, the big thing

427
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: is the defense. It's of course made an unbelievable turnaround

428
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: under Dan Quinn. They cause turnovers. You know, they're certainly better.

429
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: But the offense is the story that they're gonna lead offense.

430
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: They like you saw last night, they can change the

431
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: way the other team has to play because they can

432
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: put such pressure on you on the offensive side of

433
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: the ball a lot like the Chiefs of the Bucks

434
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: of the Rams. It's hard to match up with them.

435
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: You want to play man demand, You're not gonna match

436
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: up with all those receivers on tight end man demand.

437
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna be a mismatch. And then now we're seeing

438
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: the run game get going as well. You know that

439
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: to me and a two headed monster at running back

440
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: with Pollard and Ezekiellett, not a whole lot of concerns.

441
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna they're gonna win the NFC East

442
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be in the playoffs, that's for sure. Yeah,

443
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: I just wonder about Mike McCarthy. This is this is

444
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: back to back games now where we You know, does

445
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: every team have a clock guy to help the head

446
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: coach Chris? Most teams do, yes. I don't know if

447
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: I can say to every team, but I would think

448
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: that yeah, most you know, I know most teams at

449
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: least a lot of the coach and head coach friends

450
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: I'm with, have that guy there to kind of be there,

451
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: be the guy to look at you should challenge this. Hey,

452
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: think about these timeouts here. Yeah, that was a blunder

453
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: at the end of the first half. I think that's

454
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: where you're going with this, right, I mean, you know, hey,

455
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: it's twenty to seven again, you have another chance to

456
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: put one of the elite units of football on the

457
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: field in your offense who has not been slowed down

458
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: at all in the first half, and you could put

459
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: a team away. And I was saying to Florio bringing

460
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: this up earlier today, I mean, how many how many

461
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: games every week do we look at a game and go,

462
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: this team's dominating, but they let this team hang around

463
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: and now they're gonna lose the football game. And to me, yeah,

464
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: McCarthy's a little bit of a liability with some of

465
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: that clock manager and stuff. Three weeks in you all

466
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: in on the Rams. I'm all in on the Rams.

467
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: I am I you know, Dan, I picked the Rams

468
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,719
Speaker 1: to go to the Super Bowl. I did not expect

469
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: it to look like it does this. You know this

470
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: good this quickly, that's for sure. But yeah, fastest defense

471
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 1: in football, really well coached, got studs that can make plays.

472
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: And like we were just talking about, on the offensive

473
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: side of the ball, you know, with the Cowboys matchup

474
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: mismatches all over the football field. Stafford in a real

475
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: offense with talent around them and a good offensive line. Yes,

476
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: the Rams are gonna be here to stay. They're gonna

477
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: be one of the top teams in football. What would

478
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: you say to Chiefs fans? Oh, I would say, you know,

479
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: don't panic. It's one and two. It could easily be

480
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: three and oh. I mean it's mistakes and mistakes buy

481
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: them alone that are costing them football games. I mean

482
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: that's really the bottom line. You know. Mahome's no look,

483
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: pass stupid. I mean, just throw the ball to the guy,

484
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: he catches it, he's gonna run in for a touchdown. Here,

485
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: gonna be up seven nothing, you know. Tyree Hill fumbles

486
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: the next drive. Clyde Edward Hilaire fumbles the next drive

487
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: after that, you know, the two blunders at the end

488
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: of the Monday night game against the Ravens. So they

489
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: got to, you know, just show teams that they can

490
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: be patient. Why teams play these pre event you know,

491
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: we're not gonna let up big play defenses and show

492
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: that they can have the patients to just be surgical.

493
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: Like let's say, you know Brady and the Patriots and

494
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: twenty and you know his whole career where you just go,

495
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: we can't just sit back and play umbrella defenses. They're

496
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: gonna pick us apart. It's gonna be a ten play,

497
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: eighty yard drive for a touchdown. They just gotta show

498
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: they can do that. That'll bring some teams up again

499
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: and then you'll start to see more big plays down

500
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: the field with Tyreek and company. Buccaneers go to New England, Yeah,

501
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: what do you expect. Well, the Buccaneers are clearly a

502
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 1: class above the New England Patriots right now, and I

503
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: just I guess I think New Wingland can be a

504
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: pain in the butt in the football game and hang

505
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 1: around for a little bit. But I just don't know

506
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: if their offense will be able to keep pace as

507
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: good as I think the Patriots defense is. It's a

508
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: real good defense. You know, the Bucks are They're special

509
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: on that side of the ball. Brady still got a

510
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: laser for an arm. They can protect them, and of course,

511
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: you know with all the weapons they got, I just

512
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,959
Speaker 1: have a hard time thinking that. You know, New England's

513
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,719
Speaker 1: gonna be able to with a rookie quarterback keep pace

514
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: and go on ten plays eighty yard drives consistently against

515
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: the Bucks defense. You know, that's the issue with the

516
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,479
Speaker 1: Patriots right now. There's just no big playmaker. There's nobody

517
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: that scares you. And you know, Mac Jones isn't going

518
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: to execute the offense to the capacity Brady did in

519
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: his prime or anything like that. So they're kind of

520
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: finding their way. They haven't run the ball as well.

521
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 1: You know, I think they're a pain in the butt

522
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: because Belichick's gonna have a great game plan. But I

523
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: ultimately think the Bucks win touchdown, ten points something like that.

524
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: Chris Simms Pro Football Talk Live co host and analyst

525
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football. How do we come to the

526
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: conclusion after three games had been Roethlisberger's done well? By

527
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: watching the games, I think that's why people expect though, Well,

528
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: that's why I listened. Dan. I tried to tell people

529
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: last year and I got eviscerated by people in Pittsburgh

530
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: when they were ten and oh, and I didn't tell

531
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: big I didn't put Big Ben as one of the

532
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: ten best quarterbacks in football. I mean, they have viscerated me.

533
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: Oh what an idiot, sims Hot take bullcrap. No, just

534
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: because you're ten and oh doesn't mean your quarterbacks one

535
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: of the ten best players in football. I mean, come on,

536
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: you know, and it's it's been more of a disaster

537
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: than I would have thought it it would have been. Dan.

538
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: You know again, yeah, they haven't been able to run

539
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 1: the ball. You know, the protection has been solid, but

540
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: not bad. And to me, it's just bad decision making,

541
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: poor throws, like unrealistic, unrealistic expectations of himself in the

542
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: pocket that he thinks he's gonna pull off magic at times.

543
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: I just I'm I'm shocked by how bad has looked,

544
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: you know, at the quarterback position they in Pittsburgh, the

545
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: situation with Chicago, the Jets, the Jags with these quarterbacks,

546
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: to me, this just illuminates why you were in the

547
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 1: position to be able to take a quarterback because you're

548
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: not a good team. And you know, the Bears got

549
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: Justin Fields a little bit later in the first round

550
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: than you know what the Jets and Jags did. They're

551
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: still a bad team. Just because he went a little

552
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: bit later doesn't mean they're They might have a little

553
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: better defense, I guess, but that offensive line's not good.

554
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: Jacksonville's an offensive line is not good. And now you're

555
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: having people saying, hey, you know you should sit these quarterbacks.

556
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna stunt their growth, and like what change from

557
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year. Everybody wants the new quarterback

558
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: in there. And I always say, be careful what you

559
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: ask for, because well, I mean, like, what do you

560
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: think happens in these three situations. Is there any chance

561
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence maybe sits down for a game? They don't

562
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: have a legitimate backup for Zach Wilson and Justin Fields?

563
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: Do you put him out there because the line isn't

564
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: any good? Well, listen, if if they get broken these

565
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: guys and it's like week six and you're like, oh no,

566
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: hither overwhelmed, Like, then you pick the wrong guy. I

567
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: don't know what else to tell you. I mean, it's

568
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,719
Speaker 1: starting quarterback in the NFL. They've they've dealt with some adversity.

569
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: But I think your point's real, Like too many people

570
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: are trying to write the headline already about these guys

571
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: in their careers and we're three weeks in. Yeah, it's

572
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: they're not good teams. The Jets got nothing on offense

573
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: that scares you. No legit game breaking receiver, the run

574
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: games average at best. Pass protection has been way below average.

575
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: Just go by the look of what you see of

576
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: the players. Don't hold them to like Mahomes or Tom

577
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: Brady or Matthew Stafford standards. Right now, they're gonna make mistakes.

578
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: Like you said, the support system's not correct, you know.

579
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, within that, I'm more in just how does

580
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: it look. Trevor Lawrence made a few plays in the

581
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: game last week where I went, damn, there's only a

582
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: few quarterbacks in the game that could make that throw

583
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,239
Speaker 1: of that play. Yes, I know he has some dung

584
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: rookie mistakes that go along with it, but he looks

585
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: the part. He'll learn how to play and what he

586
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: can get away with in situational football. And that goes

587
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: with Zach Wilson two. I mean again, what do people

588
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: expect there? There's nothing like you could put Brady and

589
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: Mahome on the jet and Mahomes on the jets. They're

590
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: still gonna be ow and three. They're still gonna be

591
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: ow and three. It does not matter. It's not them,

592
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: so to me, it is just about continuing to give

593
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: them confidence, protect them. Don't fall in the trap of, oh,

594
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: we're down, we gotta throw at every play now and

595
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: try to make the game look respectable. No, there's got

596
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: to be a fine line there of protecting your guy

597
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: for the future, protecting the organization. But at the end

598
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: of the day, I like the look of all of

599
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: the guys. I do, and I am always in favor

600
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: of playing them get their lumps. Next year there'll be

601
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: a different guy and there'll be a lot to learn

602
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: from from this year. Well, they're quarterbacks. Because of their

603
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: success that it makes it tougher for those that follow,

604
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: Like Justin Herbert, Yes, sure, Justin Herbert looks like a veteran. Yes, well, Dan,

605
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: I would argue, like I always do with everything else,

606
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: looks like a veteran. But come on, got to take

607
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: over a team last year that was really a playoff

608
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: caliber football team that just screwed up every big situation

609
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: there was possible clock management, end of the game, field

610
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: goals missed, whatever. But you know, they haven't changed their

611
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: team around much this offseason other than then they got

612
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: two offensive linemen that certainly helps out Justin Herbert, but

613
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: it's still the same roster there. So, yeah, he was

614
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: fortunate to get in a position where a team with

615
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers and the year before it was drafted underperformed,

616
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: so they were better than their draft you know placement Mahomes.

617
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: Of course, he got to take over the second best

618
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: team in the AFC and they traded up from twenty

619
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: seven to eleven to go get him and he got

620
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: so he has that benefit. Yeah, some of these other

621
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: guys don't. And you're right, people just got to put

622
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: that in perspective a little bit and just calm down,

623
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: down and they'll get the right support around these guys

624
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: and you'll see why they're picked number one and two.

625
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: And that's what people have to understand, or at least

626
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: in the back of their mind, keep reminding themselves. Because

627
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott goes to Dallas team that had one of

628
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: the best offensive lines in football. Right, let me start there.

629
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: We saw when Mahomes had no blocking in the Super Bowl,

630
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: he was average, right, Tom Brady can be average if

631
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: you put pressure on him. Every one of these quarterbacks.

632
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: There's not a quarterback that's played where you go, Hey,

633
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: got a terrible offensive line, We're going to the super

634
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: Bowl like it just doesn't happen. And Justin Herbert has

635
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: a great offensive line. Dak still has an elite offensive line.

636
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: Drew Brees survived because he had a good offensive line

637
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: with the Saints. Brady always had good protection with the

638
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: Patriots and the bucket. I mean this, it's not Rocket Signed,

639
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: you know. You know that if you have a good

640
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: offensive line, chances are if I put Justin Fields on,

641
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, put out throw out a team. If I

642
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: put him into England instead of Mac Jones, is he

643
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: more successful, Absolutely because he has a better offensive line there.

644
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: But I just think people get caught up in the

645
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: why is it our guy? You know the next Mahomes

646
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: Mahomes with the Jets, as you point out, they'd still

647
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: be winless, Yes they would. It's just everybody, you know,

648
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: we've we've gotten in this era of just quarterback that's

649
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: the reason win or lose, and that's it. And you know,

650
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: I know you've heard me say this stuff before, you know,

651
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: but come on, yeah, hey, quarterbacks can certainly cover some holes. Oh,

652
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: the team's not playing their best today, but he's still awesome,

653
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: so he'll make up for that. That's what a great

654
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: quarterback does. He doesn't make a Crapola team look amazing.

655
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: That's not that's not possible. You got to have some

656
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: sort of support system there. And you know, I just

657
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: always these are what I always go back to. These

658
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: are my lines when we get into this. Jared Goff

659
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: onto the Super Bowl. I think everybody sees now he's

660
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: not a top twenty quarterback in football, never was, never

661
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: will be. They went to this Super Bowl, Nick Foles

662
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl and beat the greatest quarterback of

663
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: all time. It wasn't because of Nick Foles. The Eagles

664
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: were really damn good. Peyton Manning on his last leg

665
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen Super Bowl. I mean, come on, it was like,

666
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: let's just hope Peyton doesn't mess the game up. I mean,

667
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: that's where we're at. I don't like saying that is,

668
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: you know, argurably the greatest quarterback ever two but you

669
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: know again, it is about the football team. And we're

670
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: in this era right now where it's just quarterback, quarterback, quarterback, quarterback,

671
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: and if we win as the quarterback, if we lose,

672
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: it's a quarterback, and they're just more to it, and

673
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: it drives me crazy. I'm glad I got you fired up. Good,

674
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: Yeah you did, Yeah, great. Talk to you is always

Speaker 1: Smith fell down, and tree Von Diggs is the second

703
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: Cowboy ever to intercept passes in the first three games

00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,440

Speaker 1: Find your perfect shave with Dollars Shave Club in stores.

714
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: Let's decide on a poll question. McLevin so I did

715
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,240
Speaker 1: put up who is the most the best non obvious

716
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 1: contender in the NFC, and the Cowboys are number one

717
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: at right behind them are the Saints in the thirties.

718
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: Nobody's believing in the Cardinals or the Panthers. Dallas has

719
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: five games with forty or more points at home since

720
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, the most of any team in football. Green

721
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: Bay and Tennessee are tied for second with four. But

722
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: here they are scoring at least forty points at home. Again.

723
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: And if you're able to just outscore your opposition, then

724
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how good your defense is. Your defense

725
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,240
Speaker 1: can be average and you could still win those games.

726
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: But you're seeing a different defense, a different defensive philosophy here,

727
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: and you have a new defensive coordinator as well. And

728
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn so far is pushing all the right buttons there.

729
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: But it helps when you have an offense if you

730
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: score first, like the Eagles get that gift touchdown, and

731
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: I thought, Okay, how's Philadelphia react to this with Jalen

732
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: Hurds And what's Dallas do after you know, you have

733
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: the strip sack for the touchdown with Fletcher Cox and

734
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: Dallas didn't really, you know, miss a beat. It was like, okay, yeah,

735
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: all right, you got that. That's your gift touchdown of

736
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: the night. And they were very methodical. They ran the football.

737
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: I still think if you go back to what they

738
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: did against the Chargers the previous week, run the football,

739
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: you know, establish yourself. You don't have to be a

740
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 1: quick strike offense. Sometimes that can hurt you because your

741
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: defense then is on the field more and by the

742
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: end of the game that defense is gassed. But I

743
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: take advantage of both of those running backs because Zeke

744
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 1: is between the tackles and Paulard gives you that extra

745
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: gear outside. And that's what I would be concentrating on.

746
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,720
Speaker 1: Run the football, establish that you got a good offensive line,

747
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: utilize that tight end. Then when you get play act

748
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: now you can take some shots down the field, and

749
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: if you're able to do that, the defense makes the

750
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: opposition one dimensional. Therefore, it plays into Michael Parsons strength

751
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: and Digs's strength as well. That would be my philosophy.

752
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: If I'm the Dallas Cowboys and look, I like that

753
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: they went toe to toe with Tampa. They weren't out

754
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: classed by any stretch of the imagination. And that's dak

755
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: coming back after surgery in its first game, and you

756
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: go opening night against the Buccaneers beating the Chargers in

757
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,439
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. That's a big deal. Last night. I didn't

758
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: expect much out of Philadelphia. We didn't get much out

759
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: of Philadelphia. But Dallas can't afford to have those moments

760
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: where we're gonna look at the outcome and go, how

761
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,720
Speaker 1: did they lose to them? Take advantage of the division.

762
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: You've got a soft schedule here until you face Kansas City.

763
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: In Kansas City, build up those wind totals, get that

764
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: number up. So you're hosting a first round playoff game. Yeah, Plumbing,

765
00:39:58,280 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 1: I can't tell if you like the Cowboys are the

766
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: I liked liked them, m I like them. I don't

767
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 1: like like them yet. I think the Rams are better,

768
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: and I think Tampa is better, but I think they're

769
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: better teams. And you know, I've got I've got coaches

770
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: who've gone to the super Bowl. Not that Mike McCarthy

771
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,760
Speaker 1: didn't go to the super Bowl, but you know, Bruce

772
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: arians uh, Sean McVeigh, I don't know. I feel more

773
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: confident with them, you know. And I know Mike McCarthy

774
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: is supposed to be an offensive minded guy. I just

775
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 1: need him to be a head coach at times. And

776
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: we saw that with the you know, clock management or

777
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: lack thereof that nearly cost them with the Chargers and

778
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: then last night. Just small things, small things. But yes,

779
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: I do like Dallas, but I like them a lot

780
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 1: more because they play in a bad division. Take advantage

781
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: of that. Don't lose any of those games. Yeah, I'm club.

782
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: We confirm the analytics. You're a statement that Dallas can

783
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: be teams by outscoring checks out. Okay, thank you, thank you, Yes,

784
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: thank you. Okay, should say that if they get mad

785
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: of it. Absolutely, I that was my trend duel for

786
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,919
Speaker 1: a moment. But if you're you bet you can beat

787
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: him in the shootout. Everyone bad, No, no, no, it's fine.

788
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,919
Speaker 1: I deserve to get get roughed up. There No who's

789
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: gonna argue with that? No, no one, no one. If

790
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: you outscore the opposition, you're going to win. I like

791
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: your chances of winning. That's what the Cowboys are trying

792
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 1: to figure out right now. Yeah, how do we outscore

793
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 1: the opposition every single game? To a man, you score

794
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 1: more points, you win more games. Yeah, like, what's what's

795
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 1: there's no argument here? I mean you finally got a

796
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: healthy deck, Prescott. I let's go to Jimmy Jimmerson and

797
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: get his thoughts on the Dallas Cowboys win last night. Jimmy,

798
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,879
Speaker 1: Right now, the Cowboys the only chance of winning games

799
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: is to score more points than the opposition. That's what's

800
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: important this season. Thank you, Jimmy. To a man to

801
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: Nick in California, Hi Nick, what's on your mind today?

802
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: Hey Dan morning. I want to apologize to Fritzie. I

803
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: didn't call in yesterday. I know he got roughed up

804
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: by you guys. No faith in the Broncos. So I

805
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: got two propositions for you. My first one is this,

806
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 1: I know it's going to be a big game this

807
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: week Broncos against the Ravens. I will take a pie

808
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 1: to the face if the Ravens beat the Broncos. But

809
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: if the Broncos win, Fritzie gets to put a pie

810
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: to your face. Wait, how am I involved in this?

811
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: You give Fritzie no credit. You've got no faith in

812
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater. You gotta give him an Africa you're going

813
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,280
Speaker 1: to perform this week. I don't even know if Fritzie

814
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: has faith in Teddy Bridgewater. Oh, Fritzie, come on now,

815
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: I feel very good about Teddy Bridgewater. But I am

816
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: a little concerned about the playoff bet that I have

817
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 1: with Paulie, because week's fourth through seven is gonna tell

818
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,280
Speaker 1: a lot about that. Yeah, so Todd's not even sure

819
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: that the Broncos are going to make the playoffs. Well,

820
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 1: here's my second proposition. If the Broncos make it to

821
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs, Fritzie, I will take um. If they don't

822
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: make it to the playoffs, I will take another part

823
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:10,439
Speaker 1: of the face on behalf of Fritzie. Okay, sounds sounds good,

824
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: Thank you, Nick. So if the Broncos don't make the playoffs,

825
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: then Nick gets a pot that he's all in the orange. Yeah,

826
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,760
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't know why I the face

827
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if I love Teddy Bridgewater. I don't

828
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: think the Bronchos is gonna make the playoffs. You just

829
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: have to make me a bad person. Time a little bit,

830
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: a little bit. One hour in the books, two more

831
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: to go. We're having too much fun. Take a break

832
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,240
Speaker 1: back after this seating, Pauli Fritzie make eleven years truly
