You know what I forgot 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.560 to take them out of my back. I actually can 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:07.960 raise my hand on that one. Yes, I was interested, 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.320 and I'm like, okay, I mean I we have them, 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:12.760 but I kind of like, you know, thank you Tommy 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:16.160 John for providing him. But yeah, the styles, I mean 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:19.680 it are you wear? Are you wearing the one with 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:23.560 the with the cowboy one? Just because it was the 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.200 first one I grabbed out of the pack and say 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.760 John's today, guys too, Should Tom John's over here all right? 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.720 Should I save that for game day? You need to 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:34.920 be at your best on game day day, but you 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:36.399 need to be your best every day, isn't there what 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.560 Jason Garrett tells us regardless of circumstance. Yeah, but especially 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:42.000 on game day. On game day, yeah, okay, to be 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:47.120 a ten of Yes. No, you can't have no wedgies, 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.920 wedgie free. This is a wedgie free show. This is 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.480 not a seahawk free show. Today they'll start breaking them 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:56.480 down today. We did a little bit yesterday. I thought, Brian, 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.560 by the way you on on the website today, you're 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:00.760 gonna start diving into it. You're to have your three 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.840 key guys, right, the Nemesis, the Weapon, and the under 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.400 the radar. So if you can check that out, that 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:08.960 should be up here in a little bit. I bet 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.080 I know one of them. Give me one of them. 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:12.959 I bet j Mickey could talk about my first guy, 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:17.720 Earl Thomas on that list. Nemesis. Yeah, that's yours. I 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.560 think he's my weapon, he's your weapon, he's my webon weapon. Yeah, 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.360 he's the weapon. Well, and I think he's the weapon 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.560 because of what we what we potentially what we went 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.639 through last week with Landing Collins, that if you get 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.280 a guy that plays at some depth that can come 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.800 forward and make tackles and create problems for you, you know, 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.840 with no Cam Chancellor, they don't have that ability. They 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.560 need somebody that sits in the back and and comes 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:45.000 flying up to make those plays. So that's that's gonna 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.160 be the weapon that they're gonna have to do. He's 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:50.280 a guy, and we have to be careful with this too. Boys. 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.240 Is if you get uh Dak Prescott running the football, 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.600 you know, and you do the read options and the 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.639 things where he's keeping, that's a little bit different. Cat. 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.400 We saw what happened when Jalen Smith gets ahead of 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:06.120 steam coming forward. Same thing can happen with Earl Thomas 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:07.639 coming forward on your quarterback. So I have to be 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:09.560 a little bit careful about that. Have to be careful 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.280 with him creating turnovers, not only interceptions, but also the fumbles. 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.040 This guy's always ripping at the ball. He's always trying 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.360 to get the ball loose, so runners in piles have 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.680 to be careful with him. He's just still plays at 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.440 a tremendously high level. Missus all the training camp and 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.480 has an interception in Denver game. So that just shows 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.000 you he's always going to be around the football and 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.639 he's always gonna be physical finishing. So those are things 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:34.800 you have to be worried about with him, and that's 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.040 why I described him as this weapon here for the Seahawks. 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.720 I went back and watched the game for Monday night 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.600 specifically to see him. Now, I didn't have the all 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.240 twenty two, right, I didn't have it either, but so 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.720 it's hard to see the secondary. The stats said he 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:54.200 had four tackles, two assisted. Yeah, nothing else zeroed out. 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.400 I didn't notice him in the game. I didn't notice 0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:01.840 him make a difference in that game. And I'm looking, 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.600 I'm looking for twenty nine and I see him coming 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:08.040 in late, standing there watching people make tackles. I saw 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:12.760 him myself make like three tackles. Yeah. I didn't see 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.240 him force anything. I just he was a no show 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.200 in the game. Now that they didn't play very well defensively, 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.640 and they're missing their linebackers, so that could have something 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.400 to do with it. Yeah. Uh. The guy I would 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.880 worry about is Bobby Wagner. If he's gonna play, Yeah, 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:32.360 and I don't think. I think. I think he's gonna 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.159 be back. I think he's gonna play in this game. 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.080 That's the guy I would worry about because they've struggled 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:40.359 with middle linebackers the last couple of weeks. That is true, 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.400 like getting to the second level block tomorrow, you get matchups, 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.120 so get ready for that. That's that's one of the 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.479 guys I would worry about. But I just didn't see 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.600 anything from Merle that said, boy, I got to give 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.280 up a second round pick for that. Well, you don't. Now, 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:55.400 you don't have to get up a second round pick 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.839 now if you want to do that. And you know, 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:01.039 one of my things, I think the question you have 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:04.400 to ask yourself today is do you feel good enough 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.680 about the safeties that you don't want to make a trade? 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.680 You know, when you when you start bringing up Earl Thomas, 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.400 I still think Earl Thomas is an elite player. Me 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.440 and I understand Mickey what you saw, and I'm not 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:16.840 as long as people are watching and looking at their 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:20.600 own eyes, I never I'm not going to question somebody's analysis. 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:22.800 You know you're you're sitting down yet you know, hell, 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:24.440 you'll get scouts to sit in a room and look 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.640 at tape together, and you'll have ten different opinions on 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.360 a player. So I'm not considering, say, Mickey, you don't 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.680 know what the hell you're talking about, but you know, 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.680 I think that you have to. I think that you 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.400 you know, you have to look at this, uh, you know, 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:41.720 this situation with the Cowboys though, and and you know, say, okay, 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:45.240 what you know, how's it going to roll? You know? Yeah, 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.440 two games in. I mean, especially with the safety spot. 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.920 I mean that's you know, do you feel good enough 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.240 about Cavon Frasier? Do you feel good enough? I mean, 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.240 I've got, like iaid, I've got some questions today and 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:56.640 I hope we get to them in the second half. 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:58.919 We will, And I just want to ask you guys 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.760 these things, and hell, I'll ask I'll ask this question 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.000 right now then if if it helps, if it helps 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.679 our discussion. You know who's been a better super sub 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:14.520 Joe Luniar, Cavon Frasier. You know, if you think of that, 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.719 I mean you and I include Caveon Frasier that because 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:19.400 the safety I mean, maybe you don't have to go 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:23.400 get Earl Thomas. Maybe when when when Xavier Woods comes back, 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:27.039 Cavon Frasier will be a good backup guy to have. 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:28.800 I don't think he's killed him. Through the first two 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.520 weeks this season. I bet I've been impressed with I'd 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.920 say Cavon because I've been impressed with just how many 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.719 snaps he's handled with a shoulder injury. By the way, 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.640 He's never played that many snaps, and he had the 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:45.360 sack the other night. That's also good scheme. I mean, 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:47.960 just dialing up those blitzes and that's it is more 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.279 than what we've seen under Rod in the past. I'd 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.040 go with Cavon. Although Joe Luney has has been solid. 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.360 I think, especially in the Giants game, the offensive line 0:06:56.400 --> 0:07:00.279 is ahole did better job. Who is And I don't 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:04.960 mean to answer a question with a question, but Cavan 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:09.720 Frasier has surprised me. Oh yeah, surprised you guys by 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.360 not because we all thought, oh, I have another question. 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:17.400 Surprise most of the line of scrimmage. But he's kind 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:20.600 of played in coverage. He's I didn't think he had 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.720 the ability to blitz. I didn't think he had the 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.440 ability to cover. I knew he had the ability to 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.320 hit you, yeah that I did know. He made a play, 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:32.600 broke up a pass in space against Christian McCaffrey in 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.560 Week one, and I said, wow, Okay, I mean that's 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.360 a dimension that we don't hear about with him. You know, 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:42.400 Xavier Woods is the coverage safety in that group. You know, 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:44.960 maybe this, I guess the point I'm trying to make 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.160 is maybe this group was right the group, I mean, 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.920 the front office about their safeties. Yeah, they did try 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:52.560 and get Earl Thomas, but they only tried to get 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.080 Arl Thomas after the Seattle Seahawks allowed him to try 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.160 and get Role Thomas. But there's a there's a side 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.760 of me that and I love Earl Toomas I do. 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.640 I mean, I heck, I'd take Earl Thomas every day. 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.080 But maybe they don't have to take Earl Thomas now, 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.960 maybe because of what you think of Cavon Frasier and 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.040 what you think of you know, the potential of Xavier 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.160 Woods and Jeff Heath. You know, we don't know a 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.520 whole hell of a lot about Campbell. You know, he's 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.800 the one guy that survived yesterday. You know, they got 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.880 rid of Robinson, Tyree Robinson wave for Bryce Butler, who 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:30.640 is officially back. Yeah, but I don't. Maybe maybe Frasier 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.320 and these guys, these Safeties are making them feel like, 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:34.880 you know what, we don't have to make that deal. 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:39.840 And then and then can you factor in, I don't know, 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:45.920 you're gonna save ten million dollars? Yeah, I mean I well, 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:49.720 it's because that's still girls gonna count. It's sure cost sure, 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.840 And you're absolutely right. I think to me it would 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:56.560 be worth it for ten million dollars. But there's also 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:58.920 a side of me that also is not stupid enough 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:01.880 to bang my head against the wall and say and say, well, 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:03.719 these Safeties were playing bad. And you know, if the 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:05.920 Safeties were playing bad, you would have to say, okay, 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.199 it's worth it to go get Earl Thomas. But necessarily now, 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.719 I don't through two weeks. Two weeks. I look at 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.920 the roster and I asked the question too after two games, 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.840 and I'm not saying there's other trade opportunities out there 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:23.440 at certain spots I don't know, but well, you okay, 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:28.160 left my release behind. I wanted to look at the schedule. 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.720 Here you go, buddy, which side of the ball needs 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.959 help more? See that's where that's okay. This will lead 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:38.000 me to another question. If you going, let's keep going. 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.560 If you could trade for a position to help this team, 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.080 right now, what would you trade for? Just a position? 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.960 I'm not asking you to give me a player, but 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.600 is there a position that you would consider trading for? 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.559 That was question number five that I had on this list. 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:54.560 If you could trade for a position to help this team, 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.320 what would it be? Thanks, I left it behind. Yeah, 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.760 this is all wrinkled. Yeah, mine back before he spilled 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.880 coffee on it or something. Any position? Yeah, is there 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:10.520 a position that you would trade for? Well, I'm looking 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:12.200 at I got one of mine. I'm looking at wide 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.920 receiver and tight end. Yeah, I'm I'm thinking of a 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:18.679 tight end. Yeah, you know this this team doesn't have 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:23.720 a legitimate tight end. It's got guys, and I'm to 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.120 the point now where you know what, I'm okay, let's 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.440 bring Schultz back and I'm gonna sit Blake Jarwin for 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:31.360 this game. I'm just gonna keep rotating these guys until 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.400 I figure out my best three because I think I'm 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:39.840 Swain is solid enough active every week, I think. But yeah, 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:44.320 the other three yeah yeah, based on matchups, yeah, you know, 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:48.280 and it's not because Blake Jarwin had a unfortunate experience 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:52.360 trying to feel a onside kick. I just don't think 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.240 Blake Jarwin has done enough for me. Is a blocker, 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.720 and that's not his cup of tea. It's unfair to 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.240 him for me to say that. But has he done 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:02.640 anything else in the passing game? Yeah, if his job 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.280 was to do stuff in the passing if he can 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:08.920 qualify his spot by catching a bunch of balls, and 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.840 then you go, Okay, the blocking, I'll I'll live with 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.000 I'll live with you. And we haven't we haven't seen 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.800 he's seen that. It's Jessica bar theory. I'm gonna roll 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.800 I'm gonna roll him out this week, and I'm gonna 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.560 put Schultz back in there and just see maybe the 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.280 best combination. Well, you know, and you're right, You're not 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.360 gonna roll Swam out of there because they use him 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:32.280 way too much. He can do. He's more complete than anybody. Yeah. 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:36.000 But yeah, if somebody had a legitimate tight end, I 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:40.520 might if they will get well, maybe some team has 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.440 two guys, you guys, but let me ask you this. 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.520 We have four, and it's kind of a up in 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.280 the air. Would you be looking more for a guy 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.000 that can do Jarwin type stuff down the field as 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.240 a pass catcher, or or a guy that can help 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.080 you in the running game as a blocker. Give me 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:57.880 a guy, Give me a better James Hannah. Give me 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.760 a better James Hannah can do bow both and play 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:03.000 special teams too. Yeah, give me you know a guy 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:05.640 that could be on your punt your punt return team, 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.520 your punt team, kickoff return, all that stuff. But he's 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:11.160 a he's a good point of attack blocker, and he's 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:15.240 capable of making you know, two or three plays, you know. 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.440 I mean, I'm not asking him make seven catches a 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.080 game or six catches a game, but I'm asking him 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.320 make two or three catches a game. And you saw 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.319 what they were thinking about the blocker right when they 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:31.040 went three tight ends brought in Cameron Fleming. Don't worry 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.320 about that as long as he can block. Although I 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.760 think on one of those that was one of the holdings, 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:38.560 and I was sitting there going it was it was 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:42.680 the Joe lou Alliance, not seventy five yea, not Joel. 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.679 The was the third and one play that that oh 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.960 Collins got held on. Collins held see to me that 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:52.920 I don't know, I mean tight in was the first 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:54.400 thing that came to my mind when I wrote that 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.400 question down to you, guys, you feel better about the 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.040 wide receivers. I mean, you got a million of them. 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:03.080 I don't. I don't like seventeen, Mickey. It's up to you, 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.560 being the former newspaperman, to get to the bottom of 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.640 why they got seven wide receivers on this team. I 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.560 will try, because somebody needs to ask that question. I 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:14.280 just think this is really bad roster management. My point seven. 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:18.800 They're kicking tires. Okay, seven receivers, four tight ends, and 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:22.600 they've got two players that don't One of the players 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.240 is Travis Frederick, who doesn't truss who they're keeping on 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.199 the roster. And the other player you're going to get 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:29.920 back is Jones this week. I mean, he's gonna help you. 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:34.040 But think about they were carrying all those guys on 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.640 the forty three, on the fifteen, on the fifty three too, 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.959 you know, and that I don't know. I have no 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.640 good answer, and you know, here I'm saying, oh, well, 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.599 Williams is going to do this and get suspended and 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:47.360 all that. I don't know. I'm just throwing it out 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.200 there because like trying to figure out why that's a 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:55.160 logical speculation. Right, then then you're dat back down to six. Yeah, potentially. 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.439 Obviously that's just pure speculation. It's just for like two games, 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.839 three games, it's just for end games. Yeah, I mak. 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:05.199 I just think they're kicking tires, kicking tires in a 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.960 way because it doesn't cost him anything to bring Vice 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:11.600 Butler on the on the roster at this point, right, Yeah, 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.600 all it cost him was Tyree Robinson and they're hoping 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:16.520 to put him back on the practice question. Yeah, and 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.200 then and I don't know how many you can dress 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:21.840 on Sunday, boy, but you gotta pissed off Lance Lenore 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:25.520 on your hands too though, Yeah, I understand. See that's 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:31.200 where better Lenore than Antonio Brown. Yeah. Well things are 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.800 happening in Pittsburgh. Yeah, not good things. Yeah. I was 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.120 gonna ask me the question that you say, frasier over 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.280 your surprise or frasier over Looney, right or you're surprised 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:45.040 over Yeah, because I think we saw we saw a 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.720 little bit of Looney. I think in training camp. I 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.440 don't know how much we saw of Cavon, like in 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.280 coverage and just being an all around play and I 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.040 and he knows too, because after that first game and 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:00.520 then everybody was around his locker on WEDNESDA welcome to 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.920 the headache, and and and I saw him walk off 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:07.000 and I said, I see you, Cavon and he goes, yeah, 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.120 you guys didn't think I could cover it? Could did you? 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:14.720 Just like that? And I said, okay, yeah, you're good. Okay, yeah, guys, 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.040 just get certain. But here's the other thing now on 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:19.240 that is I agree with you guys. By the way, 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:23.440 have they have they played a I mean, is this 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.560 the best quarterback they're going to play in three games? 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:31.080 I performing it's skill wise from a passing, from the 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:36.600 from the passing. Yeah, okay. After that Stafford who is struggling, 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:40.200 he is, we grant it. Watched them next week and 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:44.000 then Houston struggling, but the Giants this week should get 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:48.880 back in the w column. There Jacksonville Bortless not been 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:57.600 bad yet. And then Washington Alex Smith who solid, yeah, solid, 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:02.800 but they're they're struggling. This team. Then Tennessee, you're setting 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:04.120 this thing up. Make you like they're going to win 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:10.880 all these games. I'm talking about what you're saying. Maybe 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:13.960 you get to Wentz. Finally in Philadelphia. But that's not 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:17.920 till November eleventh, and then and then you know, you 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.440 get straight and then you get and then you get 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:24.960 Ryan Yeah, and Alex Smith and Drew Brees and Wentz 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:31.640 and uh, let's see Whoianapolis. Yeah, Tampa Bay Luck, Fitzma 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:35.280 might bill to be, Fitzpatrick, Fitzmagic, might be, it might be. 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.360 Remember when we started the seat, before we started the season, 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:42.920 we kept talking about all these great quarterbacks. They were 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:44.520 gonna have to pull. They are gonna have to play 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.320 a lot. They're playing one this week. I understand. Now 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:49.800 the question is can they block for for Russell Wilson. 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:51.440 To me, it's the same narrative is last week with 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:54.600 Eli why they struggled the six six sacks allowed in 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:57.400 both games. The thing about it is, though with Wilson, 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.600 they still were in both games. Yeah, they up twelve 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.000 sacks and they're still in both games. And that's and 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.000 that's what's scary about this team is that you know, 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.240 do you do you think that the Dallas offense can 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.600 score enough points to make somebody one dimensional. That's why 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:16.040 I said last week against the Giants, you gotta limit 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.560 the big plays because if you're only scoring in the teams. 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:20.760 All it takes is one or two big plays down 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.120 the field to Beckham. Yeah, and we saw what Wilson. 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:25.480 Now he threw us a pick six in the game. Yeah, 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:29.040 just a just a bad ball at the sideline. Desperation 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:31.480 really that he hung in there in the pocket late 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:34.399 in the game and takes a shot and delivers a 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.120 beautiful ball touchdown to Tyler Lockett. He can he can 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:38.800 beat you with his arms. They'll don't know how he 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:42.399 cut that ball. Yeah, great play, amazing catch. See to me, 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:45.680 That's where I'm just like, this is where I worry 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.919 about this team. If this team had the consistency of 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:52.520 twenty sixteen, with the ability to finish drives and really 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:56.320 grind it out, if they can make deep offenses that 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:58.840 they play one dimensional that you have to throw to 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:02.440 come back, well, that plays right into their wheelhouse. Yeah, 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:04.440 you know, but if they get somebody that can just 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:06.879 hang in there, hang in there, play balance, balance, balance, 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:09.159 You're right, they give up one big play when you 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.480 know two big plays, Nix, you know, it's a tie game. 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:13.800 There's no margin for error for the defense when you're 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.359 not efficient offense. Well I was sitting there, yeah, with 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:21.199 that game, and I'm sitting there and it's thirteen nothing right, dominating, 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:23.480 and all I can think of in the back of 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:27.720 my mind one mistake and it's thirteen seven and they're 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:30.600 one possession away from him taking the lead. R Yeah, 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:35.480 the seventeen point lead helped Dallas. Yes, play this tee 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.639 off on Manning that. I mean, it's like they the 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:40.560 only thing they had to worry about, Barkley about was 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:42.760 catching the football and running with it. That's the only 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:44.359 thing they had to worry about there. But what you 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.280 want to see is more of this. What was it, 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:52.000 a fourteen play, eighty two yard drive, chewing up eight 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:55.840 minutes o'clock fourth quarter? Zeke, just wearing guys down. Yes, 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:58.360 gotta have more of that. Yeah, yeah, Well, I mean 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:00.720 that was timely though, because they did right at the 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:03.159 end where they just sucked the life out of the 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.679 fourth quarter. Yeah, that's what you got it. I mean, 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:08.400 because when they gave it up, there's like five minutes left, 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:11.080 five something, not enough time for the Giants to win 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:13.840 the game. There were three scores down right, See, they 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.119 can't that. You're right, Rod. The margin of error for 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:20.280 this team is very small. It when it comes out 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:24.359 because until they can develop some type of consistency, you know, 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:26.720 that's gonna be a problem. I forgot before we got 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:28.680 a break. I forgot to ask you this Monday, coming 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:30.760 off the game, and both of you guys your thoughts 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:34.200 on because there was a lull there after the ten 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:37.800 nothing lead. Did they get away from things too much 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:41.280 that we're working or I know one drive there was 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:43.919 a couple penalties that said them. The penalties were huge. 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:47.719 They only ran fifty plays, you know, but still a 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:49.760 lot of that had to do. If they recover the 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:51.760 on side kick, they could kind of run the game 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:54.600 out the way they want. But yeah, I and going 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:58.240 back and watching the game. When Prescott got forced out 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:00.880 a couple of different times throwing the ball, they had 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:03.400 guys that were open, and again Cole Beasley was opened 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:05.600 a couple of different times. He couldn't you know. They 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:08.440 had an opportunity to get the ball to to Rico 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:10.399 there and you know, it was just a little higher 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:13.399 to him. But they had some plays they had They 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:16.320 could have made some plays. It's just unfortunate. The quarterback 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:18.000 had to make the right decision and get rid of 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:20.600 the football. That was the biggest That was the biggest 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:23.879 thing that the lull that happened, that's why they got stopped. 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:26.720 They don't get I mean impressively enough, the two back 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:29.320 to back penalties third and one, they get a third 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:31.800 and eleven, what do they get another They complete a 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:34.480 pass for a first down and they get another holding, 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:36.240 and you're like, going, there's no way in hell they're 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:38.479 now third and eleven. They're not going to convert this. Yeah, 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:40.600 and Prescott stood right in there and made a throw. 0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:43.720 So yeah, it's just unfortunate. They had some bad luck 0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:48.880 in that way. Nick, I go to break you know, Yeah, 0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:53.280 I think you know. They only had three possessions in 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:56.199 the second half. Yeah, but one really long one and 0:20:56.200 --> 0:20:59.800
