There were so many alumni events that 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.120 I just couldn't attend because they're usually bars or they 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.880 had like I think they we had offset offset and 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:33.880 some other people. 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:37.320 I heard that it was tough for like, uh, some 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.360 of the pregame tail gating and things like that because of. 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.960 The weather was trash. Yeah yeah, we didn't. We were 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.120 going to get to the stadium early, but it was 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.720 literal thunderstorms. Like we're driving there and the clouds were grilling. 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.479 It had the sunroof opening and you just feel like 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.360 that gust of cold air come through it. You're like, oh, 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.120 because it was like a seventy three degree day. It 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.320 was cloudy, you know, on and off rain, and then 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.200 it dropped down to like forty like immediately and it 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.000 was just freezing and freezing rain and it was nasty. 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.719 So like we parked and you just tried to hurry 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:06.440 up and run in the stadium. And then after the 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.680 game it was pouring again. I was like, come on, man, 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:10.880 and we walked the wrong direction and they're like where 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:11.760 did we part at? 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.039 That's how it was last year at so Far for 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.640 the Georgia TCU National Championship. And like the people that 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.240 were sitting in the upper deck of that stadium. 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:23.400 Were right, it was pouring, right, was one of them? 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:27.120 He was one of the poor new Yeah it is, 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.360 but that was all cowboys, baby. Yeah, my Boys had 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.360 a chance that they dropped the ball. Now Cowboys got 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.200 to deliver college football over over baby in the back, 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.960 wildcar around here, wildcar time for a little time of. 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:39.760 A little little news and notes. 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:41.920 Yeah, well, there wasn't a lot that happened in the 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:45.279 building yesterday. That's per usual, so that there's not a 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:48.080 whole lot to dive into on news and notes. I 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.080 guess you could take a look at the defensive unit 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:54.760 and just kind of the confidences being built around, you know, 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.440 the the defensive unit going into the playoffs. They're coming 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.200 off a stretch where allowing eighty eight rushing yards for game, 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.520 seventeen points per game in the final three games, and 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.800 Jarron Curse a couple other guys. A lot of confidence 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.200 in that unit. Dan Quinn expressed it on Monday as well. So, 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.280 I the more I look at this Green Bay game 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:13.800 and the more that I kind of see what they 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:17.600 do well defenses that they have done well against, I 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:19.520 feel really good about this Cowboys matchup. You know, I 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.280 think the more I look into it, the more confidence 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:23.880 I have that this this team should be able to 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.120 pull this one off and pull it off comfortably. 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:33.000 No updates yet on Tyron Smith. Tyler or Tyler Smith. 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.400 Excuse me, yeah, Tyron Smith, he's good. It should be 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.720 free to go. Yeah, not on Wood Tyler Smith and 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.640 Zach Martin. Appears both of those guys are trending in 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:42.200 the right direction. 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:43.920 We'll get more on that today, correct. 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:44.200 Yeah. 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:45.080 In terms of practice. 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.239 Stefan Gilmore as well, same thing with Stefan. 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:51.520 Any McCarthy say on Monday that he thought, as of 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.240 Monday thought Tyler would be in the limited category. 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:56.680 Yeah, yeah, which is a step up from last week. 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:58.560 Yeah, for sure, for sure, and that that would be 0:07:58.640 --> 0:07:59.960 huge if he's able to get on the field as 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.720 limited today. Although I don't expect him to be limited 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:05.600 today because like some of the times on Wednesdays, they'll 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:07.080 be like, yeah, we expect him to be limited, and 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.080 then they don't practice just because those Wednesdays they take 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.200 really light. I would be surprised if he's limited today, 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.160 but I think tomorrow would be the big determining factor 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.240 on if there's actually a little bit of concern going 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.120 further into a week. That's just me though, that's that's 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:18.600 my thinking. 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.560 I'm wondering if they're going to practice outside or yeah, 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:25.160 because they're it's cold outside, but they're also playing inside, 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:26.920 and if they win, they'll play inside again. 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:28.559 So I'm wondering how that would be today. 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.720 I mean, there's only a possibility of one more potential 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.480 outdoor game the rest of the way, and it's in California. 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.360 That's if they play in San Francisco and that would 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:37.280 be warm, you would. 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.400 Hope, Yeah, you would think they'd be sunny in seventy 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:43.840 five if you hope. Now, I'm interested just from a 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:45.160 mindset standpoint. 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.480 Grass grass, Yeah, Yeah, that's the difference. 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:48.360 Yeah, that is the difference. 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:49.640 What I'm saying. You want to you want them to 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.280 practice on grass as much as possible because of how 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:54.440 easier it is on the joints. 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.440 I'm interested from a player standpoint. 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.920 Did you like it more going into playoffs because you 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.240 were in playoffs scenarios with multiple teams? 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.960 Did you like it better if you kept the schedule. 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:10.640 Completely the same, didn't change anything completely, business as usual 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:11.880 or maybe a. 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:13.840 Little bit more emphasis, a little bit more. 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:15.840 Intensity, business as usual? Yeah? 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:16.360 Why is that? 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.240 Because you wanted to as much as you know it's 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.520 not a normal week, you want it to feel as 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.280 if it's a normal week because you know, the reality 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:29.000 is football players and most professional athletes are creatures of habit, 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.200 and you don't want to break that habit. You don't 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:36.640 want anything to mess with that schedule. So you want 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.520 to keep it as normal as possible. I mean, you're 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.079 still going to have more film, You're still going to 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.400 put in more hours, all that kind of stuff, and 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.280 people going, oh, why don't you put those hours in 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.560 in the regular season. Listen, y'all, you do, but this 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:50.760 is the playoffs, so you put in more. It's overtime, 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.640 it's unpaid overtime. So you go out there. You take 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:55.559 care of business in that regard. But yeah, you want 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.560 it to be as normal as possible so that you 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.560 can go out there and your your clock is rolling. 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.360 You don't. That's why you don't like those Saturday games. 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.320 Those Saturday games throw you off, completely flip. They completely 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.600 screw you up. You know, Thursday games screw you up, 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:09.720 and except for Cowboys, are used to that. But those 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.800 Saturday games, man for playoffs, really really suck because your 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.079 body clock and now you obviously turn it on, right, 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:20.640 but your natural clock, you know, and that's in your body, 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:22.719 like it's not on. You wake up that day and 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:24.640 you're like, oh, okay, oh crap, we got a game today. 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:26.680 Oh they say, you got to kind of kick yourself 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.000 into gear. So I'm happy that those guys have a 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:29.880 Sunday afternoon game. 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:33.440 And with this particular team and the situation that they're facing, 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:35.640 I think it would be foolish to do anything different. 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.200 You've been awesome at home, You've won your last sixteen 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.080 at home. It's going to be a three thirty game 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.920 at home. Why would you do anything different. I am 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.679 completely open to the idea of trying to change stuff up. 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:47.400 They if let's say they go on the road to 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.440 San Francisco, because of just how they've played on the road. 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.640 You know, they played better obviously against Miami, but if 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.520 they wanted to do something to switch some things up 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.000 for that game, just because they lost them the last 0:10:58.000 --> 0:10:59.360 three times, they're like, hey, let's just try and do 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:00.280 this a little bit differ cerently. 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.800 Maybe this is a spark whatever. I can listen to that. 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.800 But this week, if they win this game next week, 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.520 don't you should do exactly what you've been doing. 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:09.800 Don't touch it right. 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.480 That would be interesting to see if they do upended 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:14.480 going into San Francisco. 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.400 You just completely change everything. 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:18.400 Think San frances gonna get upset at all? 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:19.079 What do you mean? 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.800 I'm telling you the Rams beaten before then the Rams 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.679 have a good chance. But I'm taking the Niners ten 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:25.400 times out of ten. 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:26.480 Who are you thinking? 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:27.920 I don't know. I just I just get a sense 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.120 that there's gonna be one heck of upset that nobody's 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:30.800 seeing coming. 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:34.320 It's going on like Packers over Cowboys. 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:38.280 Stop stop now, man, don't say that. I can't say that. 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:40.720 I don't work for the team. I can say I 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:41.960 can say whatever I want. 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.839 Uh, let's talk about that Packers team a little bit 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.360 here unless there was any news and. 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:52.360 No, absolutely, thank you so much, Packers, gotta check. 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:53.600 I really had to cook something up there. 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:54.720 I saw you. 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:57.000 The defense. 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:58.560 I was impressed with what you came up with. 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:04.040 Packers the youngest team to make the playoffs since nineteen 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:07.320 seventy eight in terms of median age. 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:12.160 They are a young, young ball club. Does that scare 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:12.800 you a little bit? 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:15.079 In the fact that they're young, you can get a 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.760 little over excited. You can be, of course, you're led 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:20.959 by a young quarterback. Jordan Love, by the way, first 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.200 quarterback in Packers' history to lead their team to the 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.920 playoffs in his first season as the full time starter. 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.120 Aware, you should be aware, do that, You should be aware. 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:31.800 You should not be scared of anything that they're doing. 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:33.280 Okay, what you should be scared of? 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:33.800 Their roster. 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:38.040 You're playing at home, you're battle tested that there's nothing 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:39.720 that the Packers bring that you should be scared of. 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.000 It shouldn't be looking back at what Vince Lombardi did, 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:45.960 or Mike McCarthy or Aaron Rodgers or Brett Favre. That's 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:49.960 all behind this history. A different Packers team. You've been 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.040 great at home. There should be nothing that scares you. 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.040 Be aware of that stuff. By all means, you should 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:56.520 definitely not take them lately. They can beat you, but 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:57.640 you should not be scared of that. 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.720 What would they do best off of your early study. 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:03.880 It's funny because I think that they're probably at their 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:05.200 best when they're throwing it around. 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:07.800 But you want to go at and t Sam throw 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:08.120 it around. 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:08.760 That's a bad idea. 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:10.800 Let's see what happens bad. I don't think that's a 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:12.439 great idea. I think that you probably need to run 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.360 the ball. I thought it was interesting NFL research tweeted 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:18.800 out that stat yesterday about of all players that have 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:22.200 ever gone against the Cowboys at least three times or 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:25.079 more rushing wise, the highest rushing average any running back 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.120 has ever had against the Cowboys is Aaron joneses like 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.679 at one to twenty point something. So two is Barry 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.480 Sanders and three is Walter Payton. So I think their 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.520 best bet is to run the football and keep the 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.480 Cowboys offense on the sideline. Yeah, but their best thing 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.440 is probably thrown it around. I mean, Jordan Love had 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.040 had a big year statistically with his arm. He's got 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.440 some weapons on the outside. But I think that's a 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.280 foolish game plan to go in at and t Staum 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:47.760 think that you guys want to get in a shootout 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.199 with with this Cowboys offense. 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:50.920 Yeah, and that running back room has been just so 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.760 banged up this year too. It's interesting how they kind 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.520 of approach this game. I will say that offensive line's 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.400 been really good for them. They're allowing the fourth few 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.199 of sacks in the NFL into the season, really strong, 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:04.240 only allowed too in the final three games. So if 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:05.760 they want to pass it around and they want to 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:07.800 enact that play action game that they do so well, 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.160 then you know they've they've certainly shown that they can 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.679 do that. But what will win is that the Cowboys 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:14.920 pass rush ers are the protection up front for Green Bay. 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.480 If they can get some protection, then you know, I 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:19.000 think they'll be able to make some things happen. But 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:20.720 if they can't, I just I just don't see where 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:24.600 this offense finds consistency. That's that's me specifically. They also 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:26.360 do really well out of the halftime break. I think 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:28.520 this is something to kind of point out. They score 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.200 the second most points in the NFL, or actually the 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:33.640 most points in the NFL in the third quarter. Cowboys 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.680 are bottom five in the league in the third quarter. 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.360 So I think coming out of the break really strong 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:40.920 with those halftime adjustments, if the Cowboys can kind of 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:42.680 mitigate that and do those two things, if they can 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:45.840 attack the pass, run, attack the Jordan love, and come 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:47.840 out of the half strong, they win this game comfortably 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:48.320 in my eyes. 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:50.760 And you mentioned the run game and how much they've 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.960 they didn't rely on that early in the season. I mean, 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.480 when they've been winning these games late, they've they've relied 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:58.640 on Aaron Jones last three games, he had one hundred 0:14:58.640 --> 0:14:59.880 and twenty seven, one hundred. 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:00.960 And twenty one hundred and eleven. 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:03.040 So, I mean they used him quite a bit, and 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.840 he had twenty plus carries in each of those games 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.760 with with Aaron Jones and I, like you said, they've 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:12.120 they've had a banged up running back room. 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:14.880 Do you feel better. 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.480 Now going up against a two headed attack out of 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.640 the backfield than you did a couple of weeks ago, 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:22.320 just based off of what you've done these last three weeks. 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.120 If the if you're the Cowboys after Buffalo torched you 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:26.320 for two sixty six. 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.400 Yeah, I think there's I think that's healthy. 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.240 A little bit of Higgins is up back. I mean 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:31.400 that's a huge part of it. 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:34.880 That's big, I think. So, I mean this is this 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:39.480 I feel like they're playing themselves offensively. Yeah. This is 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:43.200 a West Coast offense like Packers. Yeah, like to the 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:47.240 t like this is the route, combinations, the concepts. I mean, 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:52.680 this is literally Coach McCarthy reincarnated on that side with 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:58.600 less weapons. So our defense should be very familiar with 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.880 the style of offense. I think the biggest challenge to 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.040 the Dallas Cowboy's defense this week is going to be communication. 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.560 I truly believe it's going to be communication just because 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:12.040 of how these guys get to their route concepts. They're 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:16.720 running a lot of bunch sets, tons of bunch sets, 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:18.800 and even when they're not in bunch, they motion to 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.080 a bunch or they shift to some type of bunch. 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:24.600 Everything's a three by one. Like almost everything they do 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:27.760 comes out of a three man route combination, and it's 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:31.400 hard to decipher who has who and when you're trying 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:35.040 to play man and man, communication becomes very important because 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.200 you need to figure out Hey, on the switch releases, 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:39.200 you know who's taking what guy? Are we in and 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.760 out in this? Are we locking it? When you're playing 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:45.240 zone this, if he has time back there, They these 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:48.040 concepts will can eat up the zone in a heartbeat, 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.240
