Yep, ninety one 37 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: percent in the history of the NFL. That is ridiculous. Yeah, 38 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: I mean that's just real simple. Get get two fumbles 39 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: in an interception and go home. That's all you got 40 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, that's all you gotta do. Okay, all right, 41 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: let's talk about Will McClay. Where there's a Will, there's 42 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: a McClay. Okay, something in there was clever. Well, Chris 43 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: Beam didn't give you the super Mario brother Coyne. No, 44 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: what's that? Yeah, there you go the beiding. Yeah it 45 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: must not have been right. Yeah. Will McClay will remain 46 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: with the Dallas Cowboys, Big News Today, VP of Personnel. 47 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: He's been with the Cowboys, who way back to the 48 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: mid two thou when he was the head coach of 49 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: the Desperados. Just a personal note, he's always been one 50 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: of my favorite. When he was the coach of the Desperadoes. 51 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: I would sit and talk to him almost every day 52 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: in the spring in the atrium when everybody else went 53 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: to lunch for the big media lunch. I never went 54 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: when we were out here hanging around for free agency 55 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: or whatever it was, and Will would always come in 56 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: and chat when he was the head coach of the 57 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: Desperadoes back I don't even remember the years six, Z seven, 58 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: o eight somewhere in there. Just a wonderful human being. 59 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: And the Jones family has made it clear that these 60 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: other teams are not going to steal Will McClay right 61 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: and this is a position that obviously where he's at. 62 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: It's okay, other teams will want you for a GM, 63 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: and other teams have interviewed him for GM, and he 64 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: could be a GM somewhere else, but the Cowboys obviously 65 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: want to keep him. I mean, I don't think there 66 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: was any better example of his value than during the game, 67 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: when I think it was in the fourth quarter they 68 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: put up this graphics saying twenty one Cowboys are the 69 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: only team to have a quarterback throw over four thousand yards, 70 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: running back over a thousand wide receiver, one thousand defender 71 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: with ten plus sachs, and a defensive back with ten 72 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: plus interceptions. And it's all guys that Will McClay has 73 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: been responsible for drafting. And you can just look across 74 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: the landscape of the NFL, like, now, everyone's not doing this. 75 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: You know, if you think that everyone's doing this, or 76 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: you want to be a guy that tweets at me, 77 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: what about t J. Watt, Well yeah, everybody swings at missus. 78 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: Go go find me the next guy. I found their 79 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback in the fourth round. The other thing about 80 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: Will McClay is he wears a ton of hats, so 81 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: like if you follow like a lot of these games 82 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: on TV and you've seen there haven't been many where 83 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: they don't show Dan quinn up in the coaching box 84 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: and Will mcclays up there with him charting plays. When 85 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: the game where in New Orleans where Dan was the 86 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: head coach, Will was right by him on the sidelines 87 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,559 Speaker 1: chart and plays. I mean, what other player personnel people 88 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: gms are doing stuff like that on game day. And 89 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: he doesn't wear all the hats, you know, because he 90 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: doesn't wear the GM hat. And that might actually be 91 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: the best thing for him because I think, you know, 92 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: he's got duties that are very similar with a GM, 93 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: but he doesn't have that. And I think he's got 94 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: a really great job here. I really do. He gets 95 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: a lot of credit for some of that success, doesn't 96 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: get a lot of the blame. There hasn't been a lot. 97 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: I mean they you know, they don't. They haven't won 98 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: a lot. But he doesn't seem to get that. So 99 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: I think he's got a really good job. He knows 100 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: it here. You know, family is important to him in Dallas, 101 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: and so you know, I think it works out well. 102 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: They want him here, he wants to be here, it's 103 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: a perfect marriage. Quick, real quick on that though. If 104 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: his track record, or we'll just say the Cowboys track record, 105 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: looked at what Dave Gettleman's done recently with the New 106 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: York Giants, he'd have plenty of heat if it was 107 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: that disastrous. But it hasn't been disastrous, so that's why 108 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: he's now. But I know what you're saying by him 109 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: not having the title. Yeah, but if it was going 110 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: as bad as that, where you're just making bad signings, 111 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: you're you're not getting anybody in the draft, he would 112 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: he would take a lot of heat. Yeah. And I mean, 113 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing to me about getting We've 114 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: talked a lot about what are you gonna do if 115 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: you lose Kalamore? What are you gonna lose if you 116 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: do if you lose Dan Quinn. I think losing Will 117 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: McClay would have been so much worse for this organization. 118 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you don't want to lose those coordinators. I 119 00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: don't feel like, but that would have been so much 120 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: worse just because the Cowboys, when you talk to people 121 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: around the league, you talk to people here in the building, 122 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: they have a very particular way about their scouting process. 123 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: About the way they do things that if he were gone, 124 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: everything would kind of be thrown into some turmoil. It's 125 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: not easy to go find somebody outside the building to 126 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: hire to come in and do things the way they like. 127 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: It's not necessarily easy to elevate some of the guys 128 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: that are there right now they may not be ready 129 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: to be in that position to take it over. So 130 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: I also think if you would have lost him, you 131 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: also potentially lose some other scouts who go, Okay, well, 132 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: you know, I'll go look for some other gigs somewhere else. 133 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: So you could have had some real turmoil in your 134 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: personnel department if you lost him. So I think the 135 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: Joneses knew that, and we're like, let's get this wrapped up. Man, 136 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: he's good people, the cowboys, you know, yet they hang 137 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: on to good people. Look, Nick is still here, hang 138 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: on to good people. And Will McClay is the linchpin 139 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: of that s beam wants me to point out that 140 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: he's still here. That's why I got the seat. Okay, 141 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: it's you know, they don't miss on them all. I mean, 142 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: it's a he's a good guy, a wonderful guy. I 143 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: haven't covered this team I've been in the studio for 144 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: eight years and I can still text him whenever I 145 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: want to and he'll always answer me. Now, that is 146 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: a special dude right there. We all know long as 147 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: the text no very brief, but he will never He'll 148 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: never leave me hanging. If I got a question, he'll 149 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: give me some answer. All Right, we got stuff we 150 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: want to get into on this Thursday edition. I mean, 151 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: the game is just barreling up on us. A couple 152 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: of quotes I want to throw at you, guys. You 153 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: were all involved in the comments from the players this week, 154 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: and I want to make sure that I didn't miss any. 155 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: But I love the one from Michael Parsons. The dude 156 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: is a rookie and he doesn't back down from any challenge. 157 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: And the thing I love about that there is We've 158 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: said it all year. There's nothing phony about it. It 159 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: is a sincerity of ridiculous proportions. This notion that they 160 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: play Billie Ball in San Francisco and he says, I'm 161 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: from Harrisburg, where the bullies get bullies. I mean, that's 162 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: just genius. Love that. I love, Dak. We don't care 163 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: what people believe about us outside these walls. Whether they 164 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: think it's a good matchup or not. We're excited for 165 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: the matchup. It's gonna be a dog fight, it's gonna 166 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: be a war, and we're exactly up for that. I 167 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: think the comments those two anyway, have you guys heard 168 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: other comments that give you some type of a feeling 169 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: from the players about the week? You know? The feeling 170 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: that I've gotten is we've noticed in the last couple 171 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: of weeks. I think the offensive players, when we've talked 172 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 1: to them in media availability, they've been very annoyed lately 173 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: about the questions about execution and things like it's gotten 174 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: on their nerves. Particularly. I think the quarterbacks been kind 175 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: of annoyed with us the last few weeks. But you know, 176 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: I think similarly, the defense seems a little annoyed these 177 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: last two days hearing about all the physicality questions. Randy 178 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: Gregory today talked about, you know, I think we're a 179 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 1: pretty physical football team. I don't think we're getting enough 180 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: credit on that front. You know, Michael Parsons talking about 181 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel. Yeah, he's a he's a tough matchup, but 182 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 1: if he's back there, you gotta treat him like a 183 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: running back. But that means he's got to get hit 184 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: like a running back. He's got to go down just 185 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: like anybody else. And DeMarcus Lawrence kind of annoyed with 186 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: some of the questions, and so there's an irritation level, 187 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: I think, and that's good. You get irritated because the physicality. 188 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: This isn't just something that I think is overblown. I 189 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: think the physicality versus finessing, that's absolutely what this game 190 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: comes down to. I think the people in this building 191 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: know that's what it comes down to, and that's what 192 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: they've been talking about in these meetings. And I think 193 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: just the defenses is a little tired of hearing it though, 194 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: and they want a chance to go out there and 195 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,599 Speaker 1: hit some people in the mouth, which is good, you know, 196 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: but again kind of goes back to the Will McClay thing. 197 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: If the track record spoke for itself, you don't get 198 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: those questions. But the track record shows otherwise. So that's 199 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: why you get those questions, you know. Yeah, So who's 200 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: track record? Though? I mean, like, I mean, get it. 201 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 1: We all watched the game. Forty nineers looked really impressive. 202 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: Who's beat him seven times? Though? I mean, like, like seriously, 203 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: like like that. I'd be annoyed too. It's like, well, 204 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: this is a bad matchup because you know the Fortnyers 205 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: can do this and this. I mean, they get by 206 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: seven teams this year, maybe not seven teams, they've lost 207 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: seven times, and those teams that have beat them are 208 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: good football teams. Well, guess what, welcome to Dallas, You're 209 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: gonna face another one. I meant more of this style 210 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: of playing. The style of playing. The style of play 211 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: with the forty nine years is a much more physical 212 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: style on both sides of the ball and the Cowboys, isn't. 213 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: I mean, it kind of goes to this whole entire game, 214 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: Like you don't even need to tell me what happens 215 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: in the game, just tell me the style of the game. 216 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: If it's going to be a high possession, throw the 217 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,719 Speaker 1: ball around all over the field, Cowboys are winning this game, 218 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: no problem. If it's gonna be run, ground and pound 219 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: like that, could the Cowboys win that way, absolutely, But 220 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: I feel very strongly if it's that game and it's 221 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: minimum minimum possessions the fort I'm so glad you took 222 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: us to this, Bobby and from the players, because my 223 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: whole first page is all about that, and you wrote 224 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: about it this week finace versus physicality. Remember a few 225 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: weeks ago when I said the two teams, I'm worried 226 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: about our San Francisco and the Rams, and you jumped 227 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: all over me more so than Rogers and Brady. Remember that, Yeah, 228 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: and I wouldn't. I didn't think anybody would not. Now, anyway, 229 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: we disagree with that. You know what, Actually I think 230 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: I would actually take I think Tampa's more right for 231 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: the pickman. I agree, but we're gonna get into this. 232 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: I was worried about the Niners physicality from a different 233 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,599 Speaker 1: point of view, though, I don't want the Cowboys to 234 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: get caught up in that kind of game or that 235 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: kind of conversation. Cowboys maybe a finesse team, but they're 236 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: a more talented team. See Shanahan's run scheme. He just 237 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: they go one hundred percent to the wall. He goes 238 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: through five running backs a year. See finesse teams that 239 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: have talent like Zeke Amari. They got to worry about 240 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: their players injuries. Little Nicki Knack injuries. Shanahan doesn't care. 241 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 1: He runs most dirt, un tell he's hurt, and then 242 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 1: he brings in Elijah Mitchellan runs him. Tell he's the 243 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowl recently, why would you change what you're doing? 244 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: But but that's his style was just go go. The 245 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: Cowboys can't try to match that. I think that's in 246 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: the matchup is all that matters now. It's not about 247 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: what's happened in the past, not about the future. It's 248 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: this matchup right now. The Cowboys are a more talented team. 249 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: They lead the league in points and yards for a reason. 250 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: So I don't blame the Cowboys for getting a little 251 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: upset with the physicality of the forty nine ers. Let 252 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: them do what they do, just score points and get 253 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: up on them, and now their little run scheme isn't 254 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: worth anything. That's easier to say that. I mean Rams 255 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: went up seventeen nothing and then the forty nine ers 256 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: came out of half time to ring the ball fourteen 257 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 1: out of eighteen times and got back in the game. 258 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: So I mean they're committed to what they do. I 259 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: do think it's important they got a score. I would 260 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: I've said this all this week. If they win the toss, 261 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: I'm taking the ball to start the game. I went 262 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 1: Dallas to score. Put San Francisco on their heels. I 263 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: don't want Kyle Shanahan getting an opportunity for a nine 264 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: minute drive to open the game. Fourteen plays, seventy five yards, 265 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: go out there, score, set the tempo, you set the 266 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: style of play early, So get the ball and go 267 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: at it. I agree. What was the one game where 268 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: they did and do that? Was that Denver that they 269 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 1: decided not to take the ball. Yeah, and Denver they 270 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: got the kickoff to midfield and then they went four 271 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: and out and then that kind of changed everything. One 272 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: of the games I thought they should have done exactly that, 273 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: make sure they got the ball first. If they had 274 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: the chance to set the tone. It may not have 275 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: been Denver. They did take the ball. It wasn't Denver. 276 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: It was one of the loss I can't remember. But anyway, 277 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: I like that point. I think you're right. But I mean, 278 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence is going to get upset because no player 279 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: in the NFL isn't physical. I think the conversation gets 280 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: a little long, and I'll think they're physical, they don't 281 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: think they're not physical. I was gonna say, I've seen 282 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 1: some Dion highlights before, but you haven't seen against the run. 283 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: You haven't seen to Marcus Lawrence not be fish. Sure, Sure, 284 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: I mean he can handle his chops against the run. 285 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: They've got a complicated physical run scheme. But like you say, 286 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: there's a reason they've lost seven games the Cowboys. This 287 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: is what I love about Kellen Moore, and I hope 288 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: they don't lose their identity in this game. That was 289 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 1: my concern when I said that, I don't want to 290 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: see him play San Francisco because they're you know, if 291 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna well, we gotta run the ball and be 292 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: physical like them. No, don't lose your identity. Kellen keeps 293 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: telling us yards or yards, points or points, do what 294 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: you have to do. I don't think the head coach 295 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: feels that way. Well, I'm glad you brought that up, though, 296 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: because that that has nothing to do with this game. 297 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: But it just hasn't been lost on me the last 298 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: couple of weeks that how much Mike's gone out of 299 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: his way to answer questions and say things about thirty 300 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: plus rushes in games and things like that. Because every 301 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: time he says that, I go back to that press 302 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: conference earlier in the year. I know exactly what you're 303 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: talking about. When Kelen said that he's like yards or yards, 304 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: And when he said that, I was like, Yeah, this 305 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: is what this is the way that most of the 306 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: younger offensive minds think like that. But I don't know 307 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: that Mike McCarthy loves that idea. But I agree with 308 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: you though that you shouldn't be changing your style, especially 309 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: because like you said, they are the more talented team. 310 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: You should want to throw the ball over the yard 311 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: because you want that quarterback to have to throw the 312 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: ball over the yard. I mean, they've turned the ball 313 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: over twenty four times this year. That might not seem 314 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: like a lot. That's the most of any NFC team 315 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: that's in the playoffs. That's left most of any of them. 316 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: So if you can have Garoppolo back they're throwing the ball, 317 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: that's your best thing. That's exactly what you want. That's 318 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: got like what you were talking about the quotes. I 319 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: loved Michau's quote about the um We got to just 320 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: stop the run in first and second down so the 321 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: monsters can eat on third down. And the monsters are 322 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: him and DeMarcus and Randy Gregory. And if you can 323 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: stop the run at all, that's what you want, because 324 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: you're like Garopolo having to throw in let me give 325 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: one more example and let both Bobby and Nick go here. Um, 326 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: they've got very good linebackers San Francisco against the run. 327 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: You can torch them in the passing. Oh, you can 328 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: get them in mismatches in the passing game. They've had 329 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: problems with that all year. And if you're gonna play 330 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: their style where you're gonna let their linebackers just flourish 331 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: against the run and you're not gonna take advantage of them. Uh, 332 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: you know with CD across the middle, you're stupid. Yeah. 333 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: And I mean they haven't had Dre Greenlaw all year 334 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: and they just Dre green Law back and he's a 335 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: talented linebacker. I do think Fred Warner is the key 336 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: to it. I think the big thing for Dallas is 337 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna want to stop the front four, slow that 338 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: down as much as they can, and occupy Fred Warners. 339 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: Somehow you do that and you can take some shots 340 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: against the secondary. This secondary. I looked it up today. 341 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: The last six weeks third and nine plus they are 342 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: converting again. The opponents are converting against the forty nine 343 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: ers fifty two percent of the time on third and 344 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: nine plus. That's an absurd The league average for the 345 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: year is twenty three percent. It's at a ridiculously high level. 346 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: The forty nine ers have drawn seven more pass interference 347 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: flags than anybody else in the NFL this year. Dallas 348 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: has drawn the second most from their receivers have drawn 349 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: the second most defensive pass interference calls this year. So 350 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: to me, it's just get in there, set up some max, 351 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: protect trust your receivers to win on their routes, and 352 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: go to town. You know, I think I've said this before. 353 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: I think that Cowboys do not take enough advantage of 354 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: that stat you're talking about with the PI. You know, 355 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: you throw the ball deep. They don't throw the ball 356 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: down the field as much. And it used to be 357 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: is like a fifty fifty ball. It's no longer fifty 358 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: ball anymore. It's a twenty five twenty five fifty. To me, 359 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: it's a twenty five percent he's gonna catch it, twenty 360 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: five it's not going to be caught fifty percent. It's 361 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: gonna be past interference. So maybe that's a little high, 362 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: but we're talking about sixty five to seven five percent 363 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: chances you're gonna get the ball down there. They need 364 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 1: to take more chances that'll back some teams off from 365 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: they're trying to stop the run as well, especially in 366 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: the game like the Raiders. The Raiders won that game 367 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,239 Speaker 1: because Derek Carrs said, you know what they're gonna call it, 368 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw it and we're gonna get the ball. 369 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: And Dallas didn't do that as much. And this isn't 370 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: a secondary that you have to worry about taking the 371 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: ball away. This secondary takes the ball away like previous 372 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: Cowboys except fumbles. They do force. But I'm talking about 373 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: in the back end, like picking off passes. Nobody on 374 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: their team. I think Jimmy Ward has got the most 375 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: with two. I mean it's very one one one. I mean, 376 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: you can definitely challenge these guys in the back room. Well, 377 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: I love when everybody said, well, the Cowboys must run 378 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: the ball. This is very simple to me. If the 379 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: Cowboys can run the ball, this game is gonna be easy. 380 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: If they can run the ball like they did in 381 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: the in the middle of the season against Philly in 382 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: that three game stretch where they just ran over people, 383 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: if they can do that to San Francisco, this game 384 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: is gonna be lopsided as hell. But they're not going 385 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: to be able to I see almost no way that 386 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: the game's lopsided. Well, regardless of what happens, I agree, 387 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: and you're scenario gonna be able to run. Don't see 388 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: how this game gets lost. So how are you gonna 389 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: beat him when you're in the second quarter and it's obvious? Now, 390 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: one of the things you wrote this week was your 391 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: five ways the Cowboys can win the game was they 392 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: got to be creative in the run game. So explain 393 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: yourself on that. Well, I don't think there's anybody more 394 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,239 Speaker 1: creative than San Francisco, So you could take something out 395 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: of their playbook. No, I just I was pointing out 396 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: some stuff that I saw during the year that it 397 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,360 Speaker 1: just seems like, you know, later in the season's kind 398 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,479 Speaker 1: of got paired back. Like, for one example, like I 399 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: just mentioned that that play that sealed the game against 400 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: Carolina where zeke and yeah, like, how come that you 401 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: just don't see that anymore? Um, not that not that 402 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb is Deebo Samuel, But maybe this is a 403 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,959 Speaker 1: game where you give him a handoff or something like that. 404 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: Like you just you just don't see as much variety there. 405 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: And I feel like fr Cisco shows a lot of 406 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: right now, you need the pieces for that. But I 407 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 1: just don't think it can be like that Arizona game 408 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: where they're just kind of saving touchdowns against the Chargers 409 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: back in Week two, when Pollard comes around the corner, 410 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: you know, just a handoff to him and they basically said, 411 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna go right at Bosa. We're gonna run right 412 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: at him, and we're gonna you know, And I don't 413 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: know if you want to do that all the time, 414 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: you know, with this Bosa, but I'm just saying sometimes 415 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: you have to do that. Everyone was worried about that 416 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,479 Speaker 1: game and can steal block him and all that, and 417 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: they ran some things at the you know, at those guys, 418 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: and so you know, maybe they got to do some 419 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: more creative things. Yeah, I mean, I think those jet 420 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: sweeps you mentioned Ceedee Lamb. I mean what we saw 421 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: two three times this year where they used him similar 422 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: to the way Tie Montgomery was used in Green Bay, 423 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 1: where he is lining up in the backfield and doing 424 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: some stuff. I mean, he's cd scrried the ball, Like 425 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: I said, I think three times out of the backfield 426 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: this year, like lined up like a running back. And 427 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: so I mean they've done it, they can do some things. 428 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: I think with Cedric Wilson on these jet sweeps, because 429 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: these defenses also know he's a threat to stop down 430 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: and throw the ball, so you might be able to 431 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,719 Speaker 1: take advantage of some hesitancy and get him to the edge. 432 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: And so I think it's all stuff that Kellen Moore's 433 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 1: probably looking at, and Kellen Moore praised, you know, Kyle 434 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,360 Speaker 1: Shanahan in the forty nine ers offense this week is Yeah, 435 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: they do a lot of great stuff. You like to 436 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: study them, you like to check them out. But you know, 437 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: I think that there's also a little bit of bluster here. 438 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 1: I'm not buying that they're going to run the ball 439 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: thirty times this week that like McCarthy keeps saying that, 440 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: I just don't think they're going to do that. I 441 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 1: think they're gonna say, we got to get into our 442 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: style of ball because we know our quarterback versus their quarterback, 443 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: they cannot beat us if that's the game. How much 444 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 1: you guys think that some of the creativity goes away 445 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: later in the season because there's less room for air, 446 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: So you maybe are a little bit more conservative because 447 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: to Steve's point, you do have the talent, so maybe 448 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: you think that you don't have to lean in it 449 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: because because as your point, I thought of this, because 450 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: you just mentioned Cedric Wilson. There was a part of 451 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: me in the Arizona game where I was like, what 452 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: a great play. Why wait till you're down in the 453 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: fourth quarter? Run that play? That play works in the 454 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: first quarter, the second quarter, third, You know what I'm saying, like, yeah, why, 455 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: Like I just hope that we don't have to see 456 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: that after your back is against the wall type thing. 457 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: I guess what I'm saying, that's true. I mean I 458 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: agree with you. I don't think they're gonna run the 459 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: ball a lot because I don't think they want to 460 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: slow They shouldn't want to slow the game down. I mean, 461 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: like that's what the forty nine ers are gonna want 462 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: to do. That to me, just it just it neutralizes 463 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: everything when you when you're just shortened the game, then 464 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: it's like there's no room for error. But if there's 465 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: like like Steve, like you're saying, I believe the Cowboys 466 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: are more talented too. So if you just keep giving 467 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 1: me the same amount of possessions as you get and 468 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: we get up to ten, twelve, thirteen. I like my 469 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 1: chances that the better team is gonna is gonna win. 470 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: It's the same with basketball. If you slow it down, 471 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: now every shot, you know is more important. But if 472 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: you're just going up and down the court, well, then 473 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: the better team's gonna win. And that's why the fort 474 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: yors want to play that way. They want to only 475 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: have like seven eight possessions, but they completely That's that's 476 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: why they play into their hands. Right, See, Kellen is 477 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: gonna fight McCarthy here, like like, no, I think, yeah, 478 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,719 Speaker 1: when he says thirty, it means like, you know, if 479 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 1: you're up late, you get you know, you get an 480 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: extra ten runs in there and kneel down here, right Yeah. 481 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: So I don't think he means it's gonna be early then. No, 482 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: I don't want he carries at halftime. I don't think 483 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: he's saying this is the way we're gonna be the 484 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: thirty nine ers. And if he is saying that, I 485 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 1: think he's just talking like he would never do that. 486 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,479 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's not like he's completely thrown us off. 487 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: I'm like it does an occasion. Let's take the let's 488 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: take the numbers off the Jerseys in this August practice. Yeah, yeah, 489 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: that that matters. The one thing they can't do is 490 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 1: let Nicky bos erect the game. So you got to 491 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: figure out to make sure that doesn't happen. And you're 492 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: talking about the six offensive lineman. Maybe again we see that, 493 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, a twelve personnel often something. But you 494 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: just can't let Nikki disrupt what Dac wants to do. 495 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: If that doesn't happen, if you call him Nikki, he 496 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: might get pissed off. And he's got that shirt on. 497 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 1: He I get it. An guy. Let me tell you 498 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: one of my favorite You're worried about him more dark 499 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: Armstead though, No, Nikki Bose is a monster. He's a monster. 500 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: But I like when I got on the outside more 501 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: than what I got on the inside. Well, and I 502 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: think you can do some things with formation and scheme, 503 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 1: some things up to discount a little bit more of 504 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: what Bosa does. I mean, you can just do some 505 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: things with the formation. When it's Armstead inside against Connor Williams. 506 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: That's just the matchup that Chris Jones game Kansas City had. 507 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: That's one. Yeah, And look, I mean Zeke talked this 508 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: week about Joey and nick are very similar, not just like, 509 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: oh their manners and but the way they play, the 510 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: way they use their hands. Nicky's better, he is, He's 511 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: always better, but a little faster. They like said, They're 512 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: very similar players. And they had a pretty good game 513 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: plan to take Joey Boss out of it against the Chargers, 514 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: and they executed it. And they did that without Lyle Collins. 515 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: I was with Terrence Steel in there, so I think 516 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: they can do some of those things. I do agree. 517 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: I think Armstead's a little worrisome ardent key is. I 518 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: think people have slept on him a little bit. I 519 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: think he's a good player. Yeah, remarkable coaching again by 520 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,239 Speaker 1: Shanahan and what they've done after losing two guys for 521 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: the season on that d line, and these guys are 522 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: all playing at a really high level. I am more 523 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 1: impressed with Shanahan than I am any coach in the league, 524 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: and I have been since he was in Houston's. It 525 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: goes way back. This dude coaches athletes. And we're gonna 526 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: talk about this a little later in our rapid Fire 527 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: when it comes to Deebo Samuel. He coaches athletes and 528 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: gets the best out of him, and Quinn does that 529 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: here very similar. That's what he's done to this defense, 530 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: which is different than we've seen around here for a while. 531 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: Where you just see a unique skill and you bring 532 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: it to the field. That's what Shanahan does. It's scary. 533 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: It's funny you say that, though, because those two guys, 534 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: I mean, they should have a super Bowl together. It 535 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: isn't for the greatest coach and the greatest quarterback of 536 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: all time that they should have won a super Bowl. 537 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: And the fact that I never say run the ball, 538 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: but that team should have run the ball. But all right, 539 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: let's do a little thing called rapid fire. Coming up next, 540 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: just a scatter shooting of topics that I can't wait 541 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: to hear your guys opinion on.

Thanks for being here 578 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: with us, Machoda, Eatman, Bobby Belt. My name's Steve Dennis. 579 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,360 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna have some fun here. It's gonna 580 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: be very quick, so grab onto something rapid fire we 581 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: call it. Topics are coming very fast and furious. These 582 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 1: guys are gonna give their opinion on him. For example, 583 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with this one. Does Jimmy Jeeves still 584 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: suck or is he dangerous? I mean, you saw what 585 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: he did against the Rams with no time out in 586 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 1: a minute a half. I think he can be dangerous, 587 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: and I think the way that San Francisco runs the 588 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 1: ball gives them some favorable looks. But also he has 589 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: the second highest interception percentage of anybody left in the 590 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: playoffs at quarterback, and so I mean he'll turn the 591 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: ball over on you. I think he's got I know, 592 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: Stafford's probably a lot more talented, but they're very similar 593 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 1: in the fact that sometimes they can look like you know, 594 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: Detroit Stafford. Sometimes they can look like this Stafford. And 595 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: I think Jimmy g can go both ways like that. 596 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: So I don't think he sucks. You know, I think 597 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: he's I think I say it all the time. I 598 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 1: think he's a bus driver, But I don't that's not 599 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: a bad term for me. I mean sometimes you have to, 600 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: you know, turn on the tape of speed too and 601 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,719 Speaker 1: drive that damn thing. And he could do that if 602 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 1: he needed to. He needed to the other day, and 603 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: he did. Yeah, I don't think his ceilings anywhere or 604 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: close to Staffords, but I do agree with the bus 605 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: driver part. And it is just fascinating that, Yeah, Tom 606 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: Brady just won a Super Bowl in the NFC, but 607 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: those last three NFC quarterbacks, Jimmy Garoppolo, Jared Goff, Nick Foles. 608 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: It is pretty wild. You can get to a super 609 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,400 Speaker 1: Bowl with the game manager and that's what he is. Well, 610 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: people always wonder why didn't this guy win a super Bowl? 611 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: Why didn't that guy win a super Bowl? Because Jimmy 612 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: g overthrew the wide open receiver that would have won 613 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. And it's one play man, it's but 614 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: that's how you win Super Bowl. Eli Manning how did 615 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: he do it? Well? The dude caught it on his 616 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: head and then he made a brilliant Pastor Manningham the 617 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: other year. Yeah, that's how you win super Bowls. Jimmy 618 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: g had a shot and missed it all right? Number two, 619 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: Which do you trust more with everything on the line now, 620 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore or Dan Quinn. Oh, dan Quinn. He's just 621 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: more experienced. I mean the proof throughout the entire season. 622 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: Yeah there there there's no question to me that the 623 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: resume is just different. I mean I think you know, two, three, 624 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: four years from now, it will be different. But just 625 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: there's the experience makes me give it to dan Quinn. Yeah, 626 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: I think so, and and and it's also about who 627 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: who's who's he calling the plays? For and I just 628 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: I just trust not only dan Quinn with the experience, 629 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: but I think your best football player on the team 630 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: is Michael Parsons. That's what I think. And I think 631 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: that him out there, the combination of it, I think 632 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: that I trust that. I trust that more. Yeah, I'd 633 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: go dan Quinn. I can't recall the time here in 634 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,239 Speaker 1: the last twenty years where we had a coach who 635 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: win an entire season where I felt like we didn't 636 00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: even have a single week where we're like, well, he 637 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: didn't have a great week, right, I mean every single week. 638 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: I think people felt like dan Quinn's gotten the most 639 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: out of the defense. And you know, there's no reason 640 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: to think that that's going to stop. Now. This goes 641 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: back to the question we had earlier in the year. 642 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: Who has the advantage Shanahan or Quinn Because they know 643 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: each other. I mean, it's a hell of a matchup. 644 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: I think they're very similar. I think that the one 645 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: guy who may match up best than any other DC 646 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: in the league would be Quinn. Do you guys agree 647 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: with that? I would agree with that. I know when 648 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: we made that conversation earlier, it was I think dan 649 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: Quinn and Matt Ryan and I always take the coach 650 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: over the player. I just I just will always, just 651 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: because they're experience in that. This is different though this 652 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: is a more fifty fifty. I could see either side 653 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: having advantage because it's not about just coaching one player. 654 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: It's about you've been in rooms together talking over philosophy 655 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: for hours upon hours, and what you do in this situation, 656 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: Why would you do this? And things like that. So 657 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: I don't know that there really is an advantage one 658 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: way or the other. Yeah, that is a tough one. 659 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: I don't have a good answer for that. I really don't. 660 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: I think that. I still think it comes down to 661 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: players and you know, if you've got the scheme for it. 662 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: But but he's they're both very similar in the fact 663 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,719 Speaker 1: that they're they're coaching. I mean, the fan bases for 664 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: both teams are going to look at the other team 665 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: and be like, who's this guy? How do you pronounce 666 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: that auk or whatever? You know, they don't know those 667 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: guys as much. I mean, the hardcore fans of play 668 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: fans and football, that's one thing. But I mean there's 669 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: gonna be there's forty one hundred fans that really don't 670 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: know what Jona Curse can do. You know, that's just 671 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: an example. These two coaches are getting the most out 672 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: of their players. So that's why it's a fascinating matchup. 673 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: To me, how much do you evolve? I guess is 674 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: the question, because I mean, you remember Christi Shard going 675 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: back to Seattle, but he was like, well, who's gonna 676 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: have the advantage? Seattle did because Christo Shard didn't change 677 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: the hand signals in the defensive backfield and Seattle is 678 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: able to exploits fixed it for the playoff game, you know. 679 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: And so this week they both dank Win and Kyle 680 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: Shanahan and his media availability in San Francisco both talked 681 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: about how, yeah, there's some general philosophical things you can 682 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: see on tape that they seem similar, but they're like 683 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: they've changed a lot too, and a lot of the 684 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: coverage concepts are different, and Kyle's doing some different things 685 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: running the ball. So I think that they maybe had 686 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: I wrote about that this week. I think they both 687 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: got a head start on their homework, but I don't 688 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: think either one's familiarity with the others. In answer, Keith right, 689 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: because you can't you can't look at Atlanta tape and 690 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: be like, all right, this is what Quinn likes to do. There. 691 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: Where's the Parsons? Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, he didn't 692 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: have that guy there. Okay, well you know, and maybe 693 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: he had similar guys in Seattle, but I mean not 694 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: not really, not like you know, I mean, he's he's 695 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: using Kean O'Neil and demonte Kezy different than he used 696 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: them in Atlanta. Yeah, And so I mean even if 697 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: you go back to guys he had in Atlanta that 698 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: he has now, he's not using them the same way. 699 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: I love jr. Ayu mentioned. I mean, here's the second 700 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: year player that was feeling a little too good about 701 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: himself when the season started. You want to talk about coaching, 702 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: Shanahan put him in the doghouse because he didn't like 703 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: the way he was acting. He was no factor for 704 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: seven weeks and now he has bought in and now 705 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: he is a problem. He made that guy ball player, 706 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: and that is I just love coaching. Like when when 707 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: Nick said Ayouk though, it made me think of who's 708 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: that player for the Cowboys. I feel like it's Dalton Scholtz, 709 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: like the guy that puts up numbers, but like, is 710 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 1: the opposing teams fans really it is true? All right? 711 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: Another another question to throw out there. Will Trey Lance 712 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 1: make an impact in this game anyway, shape or form? Yeah, 713 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: I think he will. Yeah. No, I think that that's 714 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: going to be, you know, one of the ways that 715 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: they're going to try it. I think Kyle Shanahan, being 716 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: the guy that he is, has to have seen, all right, 717 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: what did Taysom Hill do to the team? What have 718 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: other guys done? And he's gonna say, all right, at 719 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: the very least, I'm gonna, you know, have him in there. 720 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: Maybe he doesn't touch the ball even, but maybe he's 721 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: just out there to make them think or or to 722 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: you know, pursue things a little bit differently. And so yeah, 723 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: I think I think he's absolutely gonna be on the 724 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: field at some point during this game. I think Mariota game. 725 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean they could do something on that play. 726 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: It took you a minute because it was a blur 727 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: and you knew it wasn't Car. Well Car watching a game, 728 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: I go, what cars like, you know, baiting Anthony Brown 729 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: or something on that play. I don't remember. That was 730 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,280 Speaker 1: two years ago Thanksgiving, which seems so far and regardless 731 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,399 Speaker 1: even if he is out there or not, you had 732 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,359 Speaker 1: to have spend some point this week preparing for him. 733 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: If you didn't, that's a huge mistake, all right, Which 734 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,320 Speaker 1: is more likely Sunday a big make or a big 735 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: miss by Zerline. I'm gonna go with a big make. 736 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,439 Speaker 1: I just will. I will say this. His misses on 737 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: his extra points, like, I don't think this game comes 738 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: down to like him kicking extra point at the end. 739 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 1: And actually when he's been called upon to kick a 740 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: big field goal somewhat late in games, he's actually he's 741 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,320 Speaker 1: come up and I think both it's the answer. He 742 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 1: really is if he if he does miss one early, 743 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: he's he's decent or you know, he's pretty good at 744 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: correcting the problem. Well, you want to make sure that 745 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: he gets the order right. You gotta get the order right. Yeah, 746 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: you can't. He did say big kick. He didn't say 747 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: just a kick. So he's made the big ones. It's 748 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 1: miss these ones here, just like, how did you use that? 749 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: He's made four kicks inside like the final three minutes. 750 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: I think this year that tied or put them ahead. 751 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 1: I mean, so I would lean big kick. But my 752 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: thing is I don't know that they're going to give 753 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: them the opportunity. To be honest, I don't know if 754 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna be forced into it, though I think they're gonna. 755 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 1: I just think, you know, if it's a fourth and 756 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,840 Speaker 1: four from the thirty four, I could see them just 757 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: gonna go for it. Like like, I don't know that 758 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: with the margins being so thin, with how evenly matched 759 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: these teams are, I don't know that they want to 760 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,800 Speaker 1: put it in his head. Okay, well, I don't disagree 761 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: with that Chargers game. I mean, it's not like he 762 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 1: was kicking great at the beginning of the year. It 763 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: wasn't like they got super close for him. So well, 764 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 1: he's talking about middle of the game, right right, Yeah, 765 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: I'm just a big kick. I thought I'm talking like 766 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: possible game winning sea we're talking about Yeah, yeah, yeah, 767 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: I mean in that seducation, like if you're lining up 768 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 1: for a game winning kick from fifty yards up, you 769 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,359 Speaker 1: have to take it. You can't all go for it. 770 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,360 Speaker 1: You don't even try and get any closer than fifty 771 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 1: is good, I think, I think because the chart said 772 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: that we did that before the game said so if 773 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,839 Speaker 1: you're more and Jerry said, this is Jerry said this week, 774 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: I want to fight through the fan that this is 775 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: gonna be this will impact the way that they call 776 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: things a little bit. But I think that if you 777 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 1: are more aggressive on fourth down, you're not necessarily even 778 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 1: going to be in an opportunity where that kick is 779 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 1: gonna come down to it, because you're going to have 780 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 1: success and you're gonna keep moving the ball and you're 781 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 1: gonna score and you're gonna be ahead, or you're gonna 782 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,840 Speaker 1: have struggles at San Francisco's gonna have a short field 783 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 1: and you're gonna be down. And so I don't know 784 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,359 Speaker 1: that it'll matter. All Right, we're playing rapid fire here 785 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,800 Speaker 1: on media match, So glad you're with us. Bobby Belt 786 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,800 Speaker 1: from one oh five three the Fan and the NFL 787 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: Network matches, John Mashouda from The Athletic and his podcast, 788 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 1: and Nick Eatman with all Cowboys platforms on his belt. 789 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,439 Speaker 1: All right, what about you? My name is Steve Okay, Yeah, 790 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 1: I just give a little bit more than I just 791 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,919 Speaker 1: wear Ohio state stuff the Ohio State and show up 792 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: and you guys give me a chance to chat cowboys 793 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 1: with you. All right, here we go. Next question, what 794 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 1: should Cowboys Nation count on more the scored the most 795 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: points in the league stat or had the most takeoys 796 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 1: in the league stat I thought you were gonna say 797 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 1: the white out that they're gonna have in the game. 798 00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,839 Speaker 1: What about that? I don't know. They think they're Penn State. 799 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 1: Maybe Michael will feel a little something, might look a 800 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,360 Speaker 1: little bloody at times. Ye see, I don't like that 801 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 1: because you really see where you're really gonna see, you're 802 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 1: gonna see and sometimes it's not what you want to 803 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: see in at and T Stadium. But well, how's it 804 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,359 Speaker 1: been at Penn State when they've had Nebraska come in there? 805 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,839 Speaker 1: Or about how completely white?

No, no, they're no 809 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 1: Buckeyes get to Happy Valley games. You don't get in 810 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 1: the stadium. It's all white. They don't sell them. I 811 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 1: thought the school gets them. Well, there may be like 812 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:46,800 Speaker 1: six of them up therewhe okay, sorry, yeah, scored in 813 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 1: the most points in the league stat or had the 814 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,840 Speaker 1: most takeaways in the league stat which one should Cowboys 815 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: fans count on more. Oh, it's gonna be the takeaways. 816 00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,759 Speaker 1: They've just been too consistent throughout the season and to 817 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,879 Speaker 1: be averaging two per games is absurd really, Like that's 818 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 1: not luck, Like you do that over especially now we're 819 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 1: expanding the season, Like how many how many games you're 820 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 1: going to add in there before We're like, yeah, I 821 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: don't know. I think that there's good at taking the 822 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,399 Speaker 1: ball away. And I was doing some research this week 823 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 1: one of postseason games. Ever, uh, you win the game 824 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 1: if you win the turnover battle. I was doing that 825 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: stat kids, it is a good one. That's good. No, 826 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 1: but but if you can count on that, then you 827 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 1: count on a win. Absolutely. But I always love stat 828 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: it's a good stat Do you like go into a 829 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: special room to I pop up on the laptop, go 830 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: to stat head and just if you know how to 831 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 1: use stat head, you can find anything you want that's good. 832 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: That's a good point. There's a lot of it's genuinely 833 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: if you just know how to use the problem is 834 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 1: there's like eight different qualifiers and put on it. And 835 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,279 Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people their eyes kind 836 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 1: of glaze over when they say, but if you're not 837 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 1: to use it. You can find any answer. Well, that 838 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: counts everybody over the age. And the thing. The other 839 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: thing about as too is you can make any stat 840 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,880 Speaker 1: into you know, your argument. You can figure it out. Yeah, 841 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 1: and that's fun to do when you dive in and 842 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,320 Speaker 1: try to find something. I was fine with that stat 843 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: about the five guy. This never happened before, you know, 844 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: with a thousand yard rush for four thousand, because it 845 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: was even don't give me the baseball one that's like, 846 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,840 Speaker 1: he's the first player ever with two hundred home runs, 847 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: thirty seven steals, and eighteen doubles. I'm like, yeah, they 848 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 1: were all landmarks, right, one thousand, thousand, thous And the 849 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,799 Speaker 1: reason I liked this because it showed it wasn't like 850 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 1: just on offense. It wasn't just on defense. It was 851 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 1: getting sacks, interceptions, rushing, passing, Like it showed you that 852 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 1: Will McClay has done a good job of finding talent 853 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 1: all over. This wasn't it wasn't that just kind of 854 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,279 Speaker 1: a dig stat though, I mean, it wasn't that just 855 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 1: a trade I think, you know, honestly, I think it's 856 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,439 Speaker 1: a dig's um. You know what a lot of people 857 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 1: that have had no here's the thing, though, it's tough 858 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: to have. Like usually those offenses that put up the 859 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: big like like I think of the greatest show on 860 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 1: turf rands, Like how many guys in defense were really 861 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 1: making these game changing plays for them? Like generally you 862 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 1: have all of this talent on offense, but it's not 863 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 1: just that it's digs with Micah, because you also have 864 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: to have some guy gets ten plus sacks that how 865 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: many guys have double digit in your sception? I just 866 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 1: think of this whole stat like you know when when 867 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 1: you do it on Stethead, you have all this you've 868 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,400 Speaker 1: factored the digs party and you're like, okay, all this 869 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,160 Speaker 1: goes away right now? You're right? Yeah, I mean Romo 870 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: DeMarco Dez DeMarcus. Course de Marcus was Yeah. See, I 871 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 1: don't I don't think that start that year. It doesn't overlap, 872 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: but he could he actually have had double digits. All right, 873 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,240 Speaker 1: and go ahead and tell me who was leading the interceptions? 874 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 1: What was that with too? Yeah? I don't know with Jenkins? Accidentally, 875 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 1: All right, um, draw offense, Mike Jenkins. If you're listening, 876 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,240 Speaker 1: did you guys answer takeaways? Takeaways? Are you in agreement? 877 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 1: Takeaways your points. No, I actually think points is gonna 878 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 1: because I know, I mean, I think that's gonna be huge. 879 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,879 Speaker 1: I just don't know how many Kyle Shanahan's gonna put 880 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 1: it in his hands to do that. Like like, I 881 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,399 Speaker 1: think there's gonna be so much running the ball, and 882 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: their takeaways have all been interceptions. They haven't necessarily been great, 883 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: forcing a bunch of fumbles this year. And so, you know, 884 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,239 Speaker 1: I think that number one defense or that number one 885 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,440 Speaker 1: offense has you know, been pretty reliable. Even when we 886 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,360 Speaker 1: talk about how they're struggling. It's like they're still putting 887 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,959 Speaker 1: up twenty seven points, and so I think that forty 888 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 1: nine or secondary leaks too much. So I think you 889 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,400 Speaker 1: can count on them. If they want to go that direction, 890 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 1: they'll be able to put up some numbers. All right, 891 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 1: bear with me on this one. You're ready. It's a 892 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: two part question. You got a third and seven, a 893 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,640 Speaker 1: big third and seven. You want Zeke or Tony in 894 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 1: the backfield? Tony Pollard, this isn't even a top question. 895 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,879 Speaker 1: Third and seven, third and seven. I want Zeke back there. 896 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 1: Third and seven. I don't want anybody in the backfield. 897 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 1: I want to go I genuinely, I want to go 898 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 1: nine personnel in motion, they're running back out because I 899 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,879 Speaker 1: don't think San Francisco all right now, I'm gonna change 900 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 1: it to third and two and hold on, hold on, 901 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,760 Speaker 1: you got you got Voso screaming off the edge in armstead, 902 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,799 Speaker 1: and you want Tony Pollard in there and protect Yeah, 903 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,000 Speaker 1: I'm with Nick. Third and seven, I want Zeke. I 904 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,280 Speaker 1: mean Rams went empty backfield on third and seven plus 905 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 1: three times and converted it. They went empty backfield went 906 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,359 Speaker 1: five and San Francisco was having to spread everything out 907 00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 1: and they were able to hit somebody in single coverage. Yeah. 908 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:00,960 Speaker 1: I was looking at more of if you had if 909 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,400 Speaker 1: you were going to run the ball in third and seven. Um, 910 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,239 Speaker 1: but yeah, if you're just gonna just play whatever it is, 911 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: third and seven, Yeah, because you're gonna run the ball 912 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 1: in third and seven, I mean better get now third 913 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 1: and two, third, big, third and two. Yeah. I just 914 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 1: trust Zeke more in terms of knowing everything about I 915 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: need more. I need more info worth the ball. Where 916 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,400 Speaker 1: where are we in the game? I mean, is it 917 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 1: a four down situation? Is it third and two from 918 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 1: the thirty seven yard line going in? Which means that's 919 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 1: probably four down territory. I think the answer is still Zeke. Well, 920 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,840 Speaker 1: I trust him across the board more. He just and 921 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 1: and and many different aspects. If you can tell me 922 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 1: what the play call is, I think I would be 923 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,319 Speaker 1: able to deviate a little bit more. But I just 924 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: and I and And that's why the staff trusting too. 925 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 1: I get so annoyed by people are saying like, oh, 926 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 1: the reason Zeke plays more is because management's like, he 927 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 1: gets paid more. No, it's not the coaches on him 928 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: out there for a reason. That's why he's out there. 929 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 1: Like you might not agree with the coaches and what 930 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,239 Speaker 1: they're doing, but it's not what this Jerry Jones goes, Hey, 931 00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 1: we sell a lot more Zeke jerseys, and he's been 932 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:00,959 Speaker 1: around for a long time, paying him a lot of money. 933 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 1: He's got to be out there. That's not what they 934 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 1: do now. When it comes to money, it does, it 935 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 1: does factor. When it comes to money, it's the money 936 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: that they paid Dak and Zeke is a better blocker. 937 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 1: And we've seen a running back missing assignment and ruined 938 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:17,719 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks season. It happened. If he's honest about like 939 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,000 Speaker 1: he seemed honest about it this week, If he's honest 940 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,799 Speaker 1: about his knee is feeling better and he's not dealing 941 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 1: with stiffness anymore. Third and two, you want Zeke if 942 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,359 Speaker 1: he's still the same hobbled Zeke who looks like he's 943 00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,919 Speaker 1: running at half speed right now, I don't know, because 944 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 1: he's gotten stuffed at the line a lot with that 945 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 1: knee right now. I think they need to be created 946 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 1: with Pollard. Get him on the edge like they did 947 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,319 Speaker 1: earlier in the year a couple of times when they 948 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,280 Speaker 1: couldn't run the ball. I think that's up to Kellen. 949 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,799 Speaker 1: Pollard is going to be the wildcard there where you 950 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,279 Speaker 1: have to get some effectiveness from him. But it's still 951 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 1: Zeke with the dirty runs. He's still going to be 952 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 1: the one trying to be the warrior. There you go. 953 00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 1: Third and two, put put Zeke in the backfield, line 954 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,360 Speaker 1: him up, and then just Pollard on the jet sweep 955 00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 1: and hand it off and double pitch govern out there too. 956 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 1: All right? This matchup, George Kittle versus Micah Parsons, Who 957 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,560 Speaker 1: you got? Who you got in this matchup? I don't 958 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,480 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be that all. I don't think we'll 959 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:16,680 Speaker 1: see its over here. I bet you Parsons has more 960 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,799 Speaker 1: times where his assignment is Deebo Samuel than Touge Kittle. Yeah, 961 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 1: I think I would like I would like that. I mean, 962 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,640 Speaker 1: I think that it's going to be a Trey Von 963 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:30,040 Speaker 1: Diggs and Micah Parsons shared responsibility with Deebo Samuel. Yeah, 964 00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:31,880 Speaker 1: and so George Kittle, I think is pretty much ja 965 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,400 Speaker 1: Ron curses guy, how's that gonna go? And good that 966 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 1: j Ron. He's been pretty the best time I want 967 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,799 Speaker 1: to talk about his reputation this year, he's done. If 968 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,320 Speaker 1: we're just going off, if he hasn't given us a 969 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,440 Speaker 1: reason not to believe he can do it, then I'm 970 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:46,920 Speaker 1: gonna go. I think if you go all the way 971 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,520 Speaker 1: back to March, that was the reason they brought him 972 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 1: in because they needed a bigger safety that would be 973 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 1: able to defend tight ends. But then he's creative, right, 974 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,360 Speaker 1: but in his role evolved into what it speaks. I 975 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,800 Speaker 1: can't wait to watch what he did. But but be creative. 976 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 1: If you're dan Quinn, it's not always one thing that 977 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,200 Speaker 1: there could be. In the late first quarter, this is 978 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,520 Speaker 1: maybe the second possession of the game, and it's third 979 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,359 Speaker 1: and eight and here comes Kittle put digs on them, 980 00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:12,680 Speaker 1: you know, put digs on them. Maybe Joseph's in the game, 981 00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 1: you trust him on the outside. You got Brown on there. 982 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 1: You can't live all day like that because they will 983 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,440 Speaker 1: overpower you with receivers. But every once in a while, 984 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,120 Speaker 1: if you think this is a down and distance that 985 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 1: they like, Kittle, put digs on them, you know, and 986 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,239 Speaker 1: switch it up. Then they go to the sideline. They 987 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,080 Speaker 1: talk about that, but they do that again. Well, they 988 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:28,480 Speaker 1: didn't do it again this time. They did, you know 989 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,399 Speaker 1: what I mean, you have to be one step ahead. 990 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,000 Speaker 1: But I think Diggs might match up with them. So 991 00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,320 Speaker 1: I think there's a you know, I think the offense 992 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:35,920 Speaker 1: is kind of and they've talked about this week. I 993 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 1: think the offense is going to be what the offense 994 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 1: has been. I think they're coming in here and they're 995 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 1: gonna just continue to do what they've done best. I 996 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 1: do think dan Quinn's been saving some stuff. I think 997 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,920 Speaker 1: different blitz concepts, different things on coverage. I think, disguising 998 00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 1: some coverages. I think you're gonna see him change some 999 00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:53,440 Speaker 1: stuff up and said Jordan Lewis, maybe maybe now, I think, 1000 00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,600 Speaker 1: I think, and I think that's an you can't und yourself, 1001 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,359 Speaker 1: not just what Jayron Curse does in terms of being 1002 00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,960 Speaker 1: able to guard Kittle with how thin they've been at 1003 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,840 Speaker 1: linebacker lately, Curse being able to go into the linebacker 1004 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 1: spots on play a hybrid role that's going to free 1005 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,600 Speaker 1: Mic up to do some more disguised rushing. Peyton Manning 1006 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 1: said this on the on one of the Manning broadcasts 1007 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:12,840 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. I don't know if there was 1008 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,560 Speaker 1: the last one, but he said, when you when you 1009 00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,520 Speaker 1: clinch a playoff spot early, it does give you a 1010 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 1: chance to to you know, you have to go coach 1011 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,320 Speaker 1: these games and all that, but you also are saving 1012 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,319 Speaker 1: a few things. That's a concept on offense. Maybe that 1013 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 1: that's what happens on defensive. They've been They've been doing 1014 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 1: that since they were six and one. Yeah, as I 1015 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,640 Speaker 1: was gonna say that, if we just go recently, there's 1016 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,440 Speaker 1: a big part of looking back at that Arizona game 1017 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 1: and going there's no way that there this is everything 1018 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,239 Speaker 1: that's in their bag. Like, like I said, they waited 1019 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:42,959 Speaker 1: till the fourth quarter bring up that Cedric Wilson pass, 1020 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,279 Speaker 1: like right on both sides of the ball. I was 1021 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,440 Speaker 1: just kind of like, man, it just seems like everything's 1022 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,799 Speaker 1: way more vanilla than I agree, especially since they could 1023 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,719 Speaker 1: have played Arizona again and they knew, all right, I 1024 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,520 Speaker 1: got and it worked, We're gonna put Jack hard. I 1025 00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,720 Speaker 1: got two more of these, and these are my two favorite. 1026 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,239 Speaker 1: Speaking of Deebo Samuel, he's not a wide receiver, he's 1027 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,600 Speaker 1: not a running back. He's much like Cordarryl Patterson in Atlanta. 1028 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,920 Speaker 1: Excuse me? Is a new position forming in the NFL? 1029 00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:13,839 Speaker 1: Is this a new position? Deeboe Cordaryl and what would 1030 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:18,120 Speaker 1: you call it? Option back run receiver? Is this a 1031 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,359 Speaker 1: trend that we're going to see grow, grow, grow, flex 1032 00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:21,960 Speaker 1: But I don't know what you're gonna call it, but 1033 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 1: I think yes because of the fact of that is 1034 00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,440 Speaker 1: a position that I believe is the easiest to find 1035 00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,359 Speaker 1: from college j pro And when I say, I mean 1036 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,120 Speaker 1: wide receiver, and there's just such a variety of wide receivers. 1037 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,400 Speaker 1: And so because of that, all these teams, I feel like, 1038 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,000 Speaker 1: are trying to find more and more ways to get 1039 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 1: these guys out there because they can do so many 1040 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,520 Speaker 1: different things. So if you have these bigger type receiver 1041 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,880 Speaker 1: guys that stuff, you're going to just see them doing 1042 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:46,000 Speaker 1: more and more. If they have a guy like that, 1043 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,480 Speaker 1: they're gonna be like, oh, this team used it. I 1044 00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,439 Speaker 1: mean it's a copycat league. So yes, I do believe 1045 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,879 Speaker 1: it was supposed to be what Percy Harvin was gonna write, 1046 00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 1: and he was in flashes. But I mean even though 1047 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,560 Speaker 1: he didn't do it the same way like Mike McCarthy 1048 00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,320 Speaker 1: mentioned day. I mean he used Randall cobnal at of 1049 00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,200 Speaker 1: different ways in Green Day. Yes, so uh, this would 1050 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,319 Speaker 1: be this player would be the most raftable player if 1051 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,759 Speaker 1: you if you identify him. Don't mean Federic Wilson could 1052 00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:10,840 Speaker 1: be that guy. We just don't see him enough because 1053 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:15,240 Speaker 1: where I mean every team to draft that player, Okay, 1054 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,920 Speaker 1: who could be the option back or whatever what you 1055 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:22,200 Speaker 1: call it, the flex flex back something. I mean, because 1056 00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,400 Speaker 1: they are showing that the valid I think. Yeah, I 1057 00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,399 Speaker 1: was thinking fantasy football the whole time. I'm thinking, if 1058 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 1: you could put if you can put a comma on 1059 00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,319 Speaker 1: anyone's position, they're very valuable. And I think the only 1060 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,920 Speaker 1: one this year in fantasy football was Cordell Patterson, who 1061 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,000 Speaker 1: was a receiver running back. And that's that's just fantasy talking. 1062 00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,279 Speaker 1: I know it's unfair to play him when he's running back, 1063 00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,040 Speaker 1: when you can do anything you want. But but yeah, 1064 00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:49,880 Speaker 1: that's very similar. But but again, just like Micah Parson said, 1065 00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:54,560 Speaker 1: that's all nice and good, but none of that stuff works. 1066 00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,719 Speaker 1: Just like Tony Pollard. It never works with Pollard if 1067 00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,440 Speaker 1: he comes into the game and just runs green or 1068 00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,160 Speaker 1: runs to the outside. Eventually you do have to run 1069 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:04,919 Speaker 1: the ball up the middle or everyone's gonna know. There's 1070 00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,840 Speaker 1: fourteen quality control coaches out there. They know. So Deebo 1071 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:10,920 Speaker 1: Samuel can do all this other stuff and line up 1072 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:12,360 Speaker 1: in the backfield, but he's gonna have to run the 1073 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,040 Speaker 1: ball sometimes too, and sometimes those guys get hurt. I 1074 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,080 Speaker 1: mean time Montgomery. That was fun for a while. What's 1075 00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,640 Speaker 1: doing now? Yeah, well he's still on a team, is 1076 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 1: to his credit, Yeah, Dallas' own. He's from around here. Yeah, 1077 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,319 Speaker 1: all right, this is my favorite man. No, I mean, 1078 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,680 Speaker 1: I think those guys are so rare. I don't know 1079 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,400 Speaker 1: that you can say you're ever gonna have enough of 1080 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,320 Speaker 1: them for that to be a common position in the NFL. 1081 00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,960 Speaker 1: But I mean it's existed in sort of an effect, 1082 00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,040 Speaker 1: just the reverse for since Roger Craig, I mean Roger Craig, 1083 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,200 Speaker 1: Rickey waters, guys like that, who like they were just 1084 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:44,600 Speaker 1: the reverse of it where they were running back and 1085 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:45,880 Speaker 1: they could also kind of line up and do some 1086 00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:49,239 Speaker 1: stuff in the slot. I'm gonna ninety six Dallas used 1087 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,319 Speaker 1: don like that and played h mc corner. He did 1088 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,400 Speaker 1: some stuff in the backfield, he played receiver. And so 1089 00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 1: I mean, if you have those weapons, teams have been 1090 00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,319 Speaker 1: willing to use them like that since the eighties. It's 1091 00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,560 Speaker 1: just they're they're so rare. As you know, Skirt Samuel, 1092 00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,440 Speaker 1: He's all right, Which of these quarterbacks is more likely 1093 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,960 Speaker 1: to make headlines this postseason? I'm talking about make a 1094 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,720 Speaker 1: run and put on a show. Number one, Joe Burrow, 1095 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:16,600 Speaker 1: number two, Kyler Murray, number three, Matt Stafford, number four, 1096 00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:21,480 Speaker 1: Josh Allen or number five Dak Prescott. You can only 1097 00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:27,359 Speaker 1: pick one. Dude, Dude, dude, put on a show, put 1098 00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:31,520 Speaker 1: on a show, make the news. Oh my gosh, look 1099 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 1: at this. Well, well what are we what are we saying? Here? 1100 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,120 Speaker 1: Are we saying? Like put on a show, like don't 1101 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,280 Speaker 1: want to run and make sure? Or just like somebody 1102 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,200 Speaker 1: plays really great, how's it coming out party and loses 1103 00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,720 Speaker 1: in the somebody goes on a run and shot shows 1104 00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,960 Speaker 1: the headline jo Josh Allen, Buffalo. I think he'll throw 1105 00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:51,399 Speaker 1: for forty yards with that. But I mean, I don't 1106 00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:52,839 Speaker 1: think any of the others have as good a chance 1107 00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,000 Speaker 1: to make the super Bowl as he does. Is this 1108 00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:56,719 Speaker 1: making the super Bowl? Is this? I thought it was 1109 00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,200 Speaker 1: just putting on a show. Thank you would want to. 1110 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 1: I think he would be Joe Burrow. Yeah, if you're 1111 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:03,560 Speaker 1: talking about putting up Gotti stats and having to come, 1112 00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,479 Speaker 1: he's gonna get his first He would get his first 1113 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:08,319 Speaker 1: win if he If he won the nobody will notice 1114 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,759 Speaker 1: unless they win at least two games. Let's let's be 1115 00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:12,719 Speaker 1: clear about that. All right, I'll go I'll go with 1116 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,080 Speaker 1: I'll take the bait here, and I'll go with Matthew Stafford. 1117 00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,239 Speaker 1: And the only reason I'm saying this is because of 1118 00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,879 Speaker 1: all the quarterbacks that are in the playoffs, he will 1119 00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,440 Speaker 1: be the least in the NFC, at least will be 1120 00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,399 Speaker 1: He'll be the least challenge with going to Green Bay. 1121 00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,600 Speaker 1: He's played there so many times. I think they beat 1122 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,000 Speaker 1: Arizona if they go to Green Bay. I think they 1123 00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:30,960 Speaker 1: have it's good a chance. If anybody's beating Green Bay, 1124 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:32,920 Speaker 1: you guys all have the wrong answer, and you should 1125 00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,800 Speaker 1: be ashamed of yourself. The answer is Dak Prescott, Okay. 1126 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,319 Speaker 1: I just don't know that the act like everybody talks 1127 00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,480 Speaker 1: about Dad is the quarterback of the Dala, but it 1128 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:44,560 Speaker 1: would be expected, it would that's no, he's a forty 1129 00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:46,440 Speaker 1: million dollars player. I don't know that there's any sort 1130 00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:50,480 Speaker 1: of well, what about how much money Stafford making twice? No, 1131 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:54,920 Speaker 1: three times three, and Kyler, Murray and Burrow are all 1132 00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:57,760 Speaker 1: tied with us with playoff and Burrows the first rounder 1133 00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 1: h josh as first rounder. Kyler Murray is the first rounder. 1134 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 1: I don't come on, man, Dak is in this category 1135 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:12,000 Speaker 1: to show up and become the story.

You know, I used to say, 1185 00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:00,239 Speaker 1: all those years of making predictions that I would smoke 1186 00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:03,319 Speaker 1: a little payote and a vision would come to me, 1187 00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:05,680 Speaker 1: and I would be amazed at how many people took 1188 00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:10,440 Speaker 1: me seriously what I said escalated quickly. I said it 1189 00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:12,120 Speaker 1: all the time, Steve, how'd you come up with that? Well, 1190 00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,799 Speaker 1: I'd smoke a little payote, wait for the vision and 1191 00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:18,160 Speaker 1: it would come and they go, really is out? No, No, 1192 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:22,840 Speaker 1: I didn't smoke payot, but that was the idea. You say, 1193 00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,120 Speaker 1: you have a vision, So let's just open up the 1194 00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,279 Speaker 1: floor here. The game is three thirty on Sunday. It 1195 00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:35,520 Speaker 1: really is fun right now, and actually the anticipation is 1196 00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:39,120 Speaker 1: almost as much fun for you fans. You don't want 1197 00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:41,960 Speaker 1: it to go quickly because the result's going to be 1198 00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:46,960 Speaker 1: here before you know it. And sometimes the anticipation today 1199 00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:52,000 Speaker 1: Tomorrow's Saturday is more fun than the actual you know 1200 00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,160 Speaker 1: it can be. I don't. Yeah, that might just go 1201 00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,840 Speaker 1: down to how patient you are as a person, because 1202 00:55:57,920 --> 00:55:59,879 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are like, I let's 1203 00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,399 Speaker 1: go for this damn game. Let's get here go. I've 1204 00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:06,279 Speaker 1: talked about everything, and you know, let's let's see. I mean, 1205 00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,560 Speaker 1: I can't I can't wait. I'm gonna start and then 1206 00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,840 Speaker 1: we'll open it up here. Here's the only thing I 1207 00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,000 Speaker 1: and this is whatever you got on your mind, if 1208 00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,680 Speaker 1: you want to predict, if you have a concern, if 1209 00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:18,160 Speaker 1: you have some small part of it that you want 1210 00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,960 Speaker 1: to articulate that maybe other people aren't paying attention, kind 1211 00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:26,880 Speaker 1: of Bobby's forte a lot of times. Uh whatever, a vision. 1212 00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:31,520 Speaker 1: Here's what I think. This team has it exactly where 1213 00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:36,120 Speaker 1: they wanted it. Everybody's a go, which has been a 1214 00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:41,319 Speaker 1: landmine field all year for every team with COVID and 1215 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:46,120 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. That everybody's a go. That's perfect. Dak 1216 00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,920 Speaker 1: is healthy and confident because he gained his own confidence 1217 00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:54,760 Speaker 1: against Philly. At least he's convinced. We think, um, they've 1218 00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:59,359 Speaker 1: got two legitimate stars on defense. That and then and 1219 00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:03,200 Speaker 1: then demark justin Gregory, you know who you could argue 1220 00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:09,120 Speaker 1: are that behind them? They haven't had that in the 1221 00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:11,879 Speaker 1: other teams that had a chance to make a run. 1222 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:16,160 Speaker 1: Everything is set up perfectly, they're at home. It is 1223 00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:21,760 Speaker 1: time they need to go out, show their talent, execute 1224 00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:25,600 Speaker 1: and win, and I believe they will. Yeah, I agree 1225 00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:27,400 Speaker 1: with you on most of that. And that's why my 1226 00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:29,960 Speaker 1: big takeaway from this, especially covering the team, is just 1227 00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:34,400 Speaker 1: this game is just so impactful on our jobs because 1228 00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:38,880 Speaker 1: it's like, this is if you lose this game, it's like, wow, 1229 00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,120 Speaker 1: big deal. You had all that stuff that seeve just 1230 00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:43,320 Speaker 1: said and you've been doing the same thing that you've 1231 00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:46,360 Speaker 1: done for the previous Yeah, you've got nothing like you 1232 00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,920 Speaker 1: didn't even get to where it just so much rides 1233 00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,040 Speaker 1: on one game like this, and that's all I keep 1234 00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:53,520 Speaker 1: thinking about. It's like, this is the game that you 1235 00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:56,480 Speaker 1: know you you brought in this coaching staff, you brought 1236 00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:58,720 Speaker 1: in this head coach because you wanted to be ready 1237 00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:00,360 Speaker 1: to be in this position. And I think one of 1238 00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:02,080 Speaker 1: the best things Mike McCarthy has done is have this 1239 00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:05,640 Speaker 1: team ready healthy, like you said at this point, but 1240 00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,600 Speaker 1: none of that matters if you lose this game. And 1241 00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:09,880 Speaker 1: that's why, like to Nix's point, I'm just I'm excited 1242 00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:11,880 Speaker 1: for this too, because there's just so much that's on 1243 00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,760 Speaker 1: this game. It's more than just I don't know, but 1244 00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:16,720 Speaker 1: I guess I'll just sum it up like this. My 1245 00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:19,720 Speaker 1: feeling going to this game way different than the twenty 1246 00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,760 Speaker 1: eighteen game against Seattle, way different. Like that game, you're 1247 00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,040 Speaker 1: just kind of like, yeah, everything's kind of here, but 1248 00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,640 Speaker 1: you still were like that defense still whatever. You have 1249 00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:31,080 Speaker 1: all the ingredients in here for the most part, you're healthy, 1250 00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,120 Speaker 1: like you have. You should win this game. You just 1251 00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:37,120 Speaker 1: have to. Yeah, I think that. I agree. I agree 1252 00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,960 Speaker 1: with that, And I also think that you know what's 1253 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,680 Speaker 1: going to hurt the Cowboys is that obviously if Ford 1254 00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:44,720 Speaker 1: and just keep running it and they can't, you know, 1255 00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:48,439 Speaker 1: stop it, wear them down. And I just don't see. 1256 00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:50,640 Speaker 1: I know dan Quinn's not gonna play. I get it. 1257 00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:52,480 Speaker 1: I don't think he'll play. He has lined up at 1258 00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:54,520 Speaker 1: no tackle this year, but I don't think he's going 1259 00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:57,360 Speaker 1: to play. But I don't think a dan Quinn team 1260 00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:59,600 Speaker 1: is going to just get punked. I don't. I don't 1261 00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:01,680 Speaker 1: think he's and allow it to keep happening. I think 1262 00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:03,920 Speaker 1: that they'll stop the run, and they can stop the run, 1263 00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,560 Speaker 1: figure it out. To stop the run. That's all you 1264 00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:08,840 Speaker 1: got to sell out to stop the run. And I 1265 00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:10,600 Speaker 1: know he's just had them done. But you know, like 1266 00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:12,480 Speaker 1: seven teams have done it before you go, Bobby. I 1267 00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:15,600 Speaker 1: love that point because I can remember in OH nine 1268 00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:18,400 Speaker 1: when they beat Philly back to back and Wade Phillips 1269 00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:22,080 Speaker 1: was their defensive coordinator head coach got punked by Brett 1270 00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:26,800 Speaker 1: Farvan Minnesota in the second game. You know, wrong guy, 1271 00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:29,760 Speaker 1: They got the wrong guy. I mean, you could just 1272 00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:33,720 Speaker 1: tell that doesn't even not to mention what he did 1273 00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:36,960 Speaker 1: in No. Seven. Send him on vacation for the biggest 1274 00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:40,280 Speaker 1: game of the year. I love that point about Quinn. 1275 00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:43,280 Speaker 1: He's not the wrong guy. He's the right guy, and 1276 00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:46,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna be somebody's head coach and they'll show it up. Yeah. 1277 00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,280 Speaker 1: You know, this is such a like we've talked about 1278 00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,640 Speaker 1: this whole time. It's so evenly match like. I don't 1279 00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,520 Speaker 1: know that you're gonna find another matchup across the entire 1280 00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,280 Speaker 1: playoff landscape this week that's just as tight as this one. 1281 00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,880 Speaker 1: And I mean Vegas agrees, you know, making them at 1282 00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:02,600 Speaker 1: the To me, it's like the fact that where you've 1283 01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,160 Speaker 1: all sat around here and talked about, you know what's 1284 01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,760 Speaker 1: the officiating crew. Is San Francisco gonna come in and 1285 01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:09,640 Speaker 1: take that tells you like the margins here are so 1286 01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:14,160 Speaker 1: we're talking about like all this tiny stuff and so 1287 01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,720 Speaker 1: I I mean, I think when it comes down to that, 1288 01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:19,840 Speaker 1: when you look at that, it's got I think you 1289 01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:21,680 Speaker 1: need to default. When it's that close, you gotta default. 1290 01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,560 Speaker 1: Who's got the better quarterback, and you have the better quarterback. 1291 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:30,360 Speaker 1: And so when it's that's that's you have the wide out. No, no, 1292 01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:32,680 Speaker 1: I I am, I'm fine with it. I mean, it's fine. 1293 01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,280 Speaker 1: I just you're you know, it's you will see some red. 1294 01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,120 Speaker 1: Well that's the that's the thing. If you wear a 1295 01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,320 Speaker 1: white shirt and eat to a barbecue. I mean, like 1296 01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:41,680 Speaker 1: he was the guy with a spain, that's what's gonna happen. 1297 01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,040 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a lot of that. Glad you think that. 1298 01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,120 Speaker 1: I hate that. That's that's because dudes, you're idiots. Yeah, 1299 01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna spill here. Here's but the thing that that 1300 01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:51,160 Speaker 1: is the Cowboys are a better team on the road. 1301 01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,040 Speaker 1: This year they've been they've been good on the road. 1302 01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:55,240 Speaker 1: They've won some games there. So I'm not saying this 1303 01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:57,240 Speaker 1: is gonna be a road game. I'm saying it doesn't matter. 1304 01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:01,640 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Make plays and you know, Yeah, the 1305 01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:04,640 Speaker 1: reason why the forty nine fans went nuts in twenty fourteen. 1306 01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:06,760 Speaker 1: There was a lot of them there, and there were 1307 01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,920 Speaker 1: a lot of them because Kaepernick was kicking their ass. 1308 01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,960 Speaker 1: I mean, if you can stop that, then you know. 1309 01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:13,800 Speaker 1: And that was a team that was thought to be 1310 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:15,920 Speaker 1: four and twelve that year. Nobody knew they were going 1311 01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:17,480 Speaker 1: to be as Dallas was going to be as good 1312 01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:20,640 Speaker 1: as they were. I go back over the years now 1313 01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:24,000 Speaker 1: seven when they were clearly the best team in the NFC, 1314 01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:28,160 Speaker 1: but they had a brand new quarterback. He had nineteen 1315 01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:32,600 Speaker 1: interceptions that year, and when Wade Phillips told his team 1316 01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:35,400 Speaker 1: to get as far away from football as you can, 1317 01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:39,760 Speaker 1: the quarterback of the team said, cool, all called Jessica 1318 01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,720 Speaker 1: and go lay on a beach. He was not ready 1319 01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:46,120 Speaker 1: for the big moment. That was the problem in OH seven. 1320 01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:48,920 Speaker 1: In OH nine, that team sucked. They weren't going to 1321 01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:54,320 Speaker 1: beat anybody. Twenty fourteen was the legitimate team. Romo was 1322 01:01:54,400 --> 01:02:00,360 Speaker 1: now a championship caliber quarterback who studied for six years 1323 01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:04,520 Speaker 1: and finally got it, and DeMarco was running the ball. 1324 01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:10,960 Speaker 1: The offensive line was awesome. Uh. That team got screwed 1325 01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:15,080 Speaker 1: out of making a run because of Blandino. Uh, that 1326 01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:19,040 Speaker 1: was the last time I felt like this. That team 1327 01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:22,240 Speaker 1: could have gone to the Super Bowl. Uh, twenty sixteen. 1328 01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,280 Speaker 1: You got a rookie quarterback in a rookie running back. 1329 01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:26,840 Speaker 1: They're not going anywhere. You really thought fourteen's defense was 1330 01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:30,080 Speaker 1: taking the Super Bows the way. Well, they had Rolando 1331 01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:34,400 Speaker 1: mc George Selvie, they had Selvie. Selvie had seven sacks. 1332 01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:37,440 Speaker 1: But no, no, DeMarcus Lawrence was hurt all year, and 1333 01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,040 Speaker 1: he showed up for the playoffs. He made the play 1334 01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:44,400 Speaker 1: against Detroit after he must have the playoffs. Yeah, he 1335 01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:46,520 Speaker 1: made play for both teams. But but you know he 1336 01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,080 Speaker 1: did that both those times. Though seven and oh nine 1337 01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:51,640 Speaker 1: he was out and then came back for the playoffs. 1338 01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:57,120 Speaker 1: But their friend DeMarcus, there was something to remember about 1339 01:02:57,120 --> 01:02:58,880 Speaker 1: where and then you saw about Lawrence. No, I'm talking 1340 01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:02,720 Speaker 1: about Lawrence law in fourteen and sixteen, Okay, but then 1341 01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:05,120 Speaker 1: he said nine and seven so they met where No, no, no. 1342 01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:08,160 Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, Lauren, don't don't forget. And I'm 1343 01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:13,919 Speaker 1: sure Detroit fans haven't that Anthony Hitchens, you know the call. Yeah, 1344 01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,480 Speaker 1: he was there early on a PI that they called 1345 01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:18,160 Speaker 1: PI and then all of a sudden. That was the 1346 01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,520 Speaker 1: first time I think the NFL called that and said 1347 01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:25,000 Speaker 1: hello boys into the vision around. Thank you. Okay, all right, 1348 01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:26,880 Speaker 1: we gotta wrap it up this all the way back. Yes, 1349 01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,200 Speaker 1: we gotta wrap this up here. Here's all I want 1350 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:32,640 Speaker 1: to say to every Cowboys fan listening. Uh, you know, 1351 01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:37,320 Speaker 1: it's the albatross hangs around the neck of these players. 1352 01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:41,800 Speaker 1: It's not their fault. They've done nothing. It's twenty five years. 1353 01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:46,120 Speaker 1: It's hanging on him. You feel it, But don't feel 1354 01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:49,720 Speaker 1: that way for this one. This is the perfect opportunity. 1355 01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:54,840 Speaker 1: If it doesn't go well, they gagged. That's the only 1356 01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:58,640 Speaker 1: way I can look at it. It is a perfect opportunity. 1357 01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:04,880 Speaker 1: Embrace it and enjoy it. They're gonna do something, aren't they, 1358 01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:10,120 Speaker 1: aren't they? Yeah? Sure, maybe you're picking a win, John, Yeah, 1359 01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:15,240 Speaker 1: who are you picking? You? I'm picking Wow? All right, 1360 01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:18,200 Speaker 1: what about you, Bobby. I'm gonna say Dak Prescott gets 1361 01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:21,200 Speaker 1: the better of an Eastern Illinois quarterback again. There you go, 1362 01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:27,600 Speaker 1: there you go wow? Wow? Yeah, with another one up 1363 01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:31,240 Speaker 1: there calling it so he does play better with Romo 1364 01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:35,440 Speaker 1: over his shoulder. I've heard that. Yeah, Tony's fine, just 1365 01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:38,000 Speaker 1: talk to him. Last week about a seventeen million a year. 1366 01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,600 Speaker 1: How's the broadcasting going? Wow, that's going pretty good.

I think I think the 1373 01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:01,160 Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna win this one. I think they're gonna 1374 01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:03,920 Speaker 1: win by double digits. Honestly, I think they're gonna win 1375 01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:06,480 Speaker 1: by eleven. I mean, that's not the way out there, 1376 01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:12,360 Speaker 1: But I just nothing eleven, no, no, thirteen two come 1377 01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:14,720 Speaker 1: on like that. No, I think like something like thirty four, 1378 01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:18,680 Speaker 1: twenty three. Um, I don't know. I just think the 1379 01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:20,840 Speaker 1: forty nine ers. I think that they're they're good. I 1380 01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:22,880 Speaker 1: just can't get over the fact that they lose. They've 1381 01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,840 Speaker 1: lost seven times and and good teams have beaten them. 1382 01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:27,520 Speaker 1: And this is a good football team. We like to 1383 01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:29,160 Speaker 1: pick holes in it at the kicking and all this 1384 01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:31,360 Speaker 1: and the experience here or there or whatever.
