We go out there to play Philly. 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:19.440 At least we was winning. At least we was winning 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:21.640 in that game. Yeah, but it was over for us. 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:23.880 It was we had we had no the season was 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.440 done and since the balling them come out there at halftime, 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:27.959 it was like y'all young boys want to play. 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:29.760 We're talking. 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:36.280 You're about to have hold outside a good season ruined 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.560 my I had a good season. They're looking to bring 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:38.880 me back. 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.560 You have to ruin that going to no bad tape 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:43.720 out there. You don't want to have been at cover 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.600 three getting burnt top of it. I don't know if 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.079 we should bring this guy back. You go finish that 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.120 rep your grade, this one, you're laying it. 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.280 It happens. It's facts, man, real. 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:58.320 Forty nine seventeen, the Cowboys sweep the New York Giants. 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:03.120 Six hundred and forty yards of offense for the Cowboys. 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:03.800 That's crazy. 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:08.600 Giants, dude, the Giants were old for twelve on third down. 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.640 I just off the top of right, have you guys, 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:13.480 have you guys ever seen an NFL team? 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:18.040 Not onecial? Now that's that's never however, and what did what. 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:19.480 Did the Giants do to the Cowboys? 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:19.680 Man? 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.120 You up thirty five seven in the red zone. 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.480 Dak's still out there throwing bombs, Cooper Rush throwing bombs 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:26.959 down the side. 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.040 I'm like, did something happen that we don't know? Hey? 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:33.320 Man, we still remember, we still remember. Was it Brandon 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:39.320 Jacobs breaking the clock. Yeah, that's so matter still matter. 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:43.000 Man was never gonna lit up. They never go lit up. 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:43.760 They did. 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:45.480 They did what we said they were gonna do. Okay, 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.640 they go out here and treat this like mojo moments 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:48.240 at practice. 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.080 All right. They said, okay, we have an opportunity. 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.000 Here in the red zone to make sure that our 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.080 stats look better than they did when we got in here, 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.120 and we're gonna make sure we take advantage of that 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.720 man where they padded them stats. I gotta say this, 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:05.920 this man came in here on Monday about Brandon Cooks. 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.480 Somebody must have heard him, all right, because the attention 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:15.000 to make sure that three guy his was there. And man, 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.279 we but look, they took the cover off the vet. 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.479 And I told I told you, I don't care how 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.880 many targets or catches or yards he get this game. 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.560 I do not feel better about how they have. 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.800 Been treating Brandon Cooks until they get in a situation 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.920 to where CD is taken away or not open and 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:40.400 Cooks is the number two guy, or at least to be, 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:42.880 because Fergus is gonna be the guy until you get 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:47.640 in that situation. Michael gall about the catching yards, Yes, sir, 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.760 I mean, so I supposed to feel better that you got, 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:59.200 nah bro Yes, sir, yes, sir, Rico got. 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:01.080 Those are two names that Carthy got hit with it 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:02.240 the press conference this week. 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:03.400 Remember he was fighting on the. 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.160 Cooks right, I don't play fantasy football. 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.120 Well, ten targets to lay that. I guess you heard. 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.800 You heard the people No Dak hurt him. 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:16.839 And then ric o'doddell. I remember his name was raised 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:18.840 up there and they give you that. But next thing 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.760 you know, twelve carries to Tony Poll's fifteen and Rico o' 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.839 daddle had a nice football game long to twenty one. 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.040 So twelve carries seventy nine yards, had a touchdown. These 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.320 are two players, Doddle and Cooks that they're going to 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:34.200 need if they wanted to go further than where they 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.839 have been in the playoffs recently. Here, I just believe 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.159 there are guys that they can make, They can make 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.440 a difference, and I think we all kind of agreed 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.599 on the show here. Yes, Tony Pollard is good, but 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.560 Tony Pollard is better when you have that one two 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.320 combination of thunder lightning and Dowdell can represent that is 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.440 he zeke No that need to be Zeke. 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:57.000 What we saw here, we've seen this before. This is 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:58.120 up to the play caller game. 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:01.040 That'll look like lightning though yesterday, and so he didn't 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.000 look like like he was in a different speed kind 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.479 of how we was watching Tony Paul and Zeke. Not 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.600 not as much like that. But when Dudell got was like, oh, 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.200 he got fresh legs and he's the role. He put 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.080 his foot down one time on his own run and 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.280 then cut it back up, you know, and they had 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.760 a big yard, big game on it. I mean, I 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.520 love the way that they used him. But that was 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.479 exactly what we needed last week. Not to harp on that, 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.359 but that's what we needed. We needed that part, that 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.080 dimension of our running game to be attacking. I was 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.680 saying it last week. I think that you allow Brandon 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.039 Cooks to be who he is through play action, and 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.800 it's easy to find him when you have at least 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.080 the threat of a running game. When teams don't respect 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.880 your running game at all, which we've seen in games, 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:41.080 but team's like, man. 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:42.520 Y'all got nothing. 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.080 We're not worried about that, and especially if we're not 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.880 giving them any motion or any play action at all. 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:49.200 I'm loving the way. 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.960 That Mike McCarthy is using ceedee lamb, moving him around, 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.120 doing different things with him, not allowing defenses to just 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:57.520 kind of all right, he's gonna sit in the slot 0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:58.560 or he'll be outside. 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:00.560 No, we're gonna move around. You see he scored on 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:01.640 the reverse he did. 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:03.480 I mean, those are those are the kind of players 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.640 that you see other big time players around the league, dude, 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:07.760 and we got that on our team. 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:09.520 And heck mall he needed was a play call to 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:15.920 understand what he canna do. That's it, shots fired, that's 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:16.680 what go ahead say. 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.800 I'm gonna let it play out exactly. 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:28.200 It's playing right. Let's let's not get to myself. They 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.240 were a bad team. So so was it? Three games, 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:32.880 ten catches, hundred and fifty yards? 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.320 This okay, this is this is what we were seeing 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.880 from the Jordan justin Jefferson. You know of hey man, 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.280 you're you're the big dog. Go eat, We're gonna feed you. 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:41.600 Go do it doesn't matter who it is. 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:42.600 Go all right. 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:44.720 So that's what we're seeing it against Philadelphia said, I 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.480 got so last play caller wasn't doing it. 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.720 This is exactly what you would want to have from 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:51.760 your office, because we talked about it last week. You know, 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.440 those upper echelon offenses that the Bangles of the world, 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.840 the Vikings when they had Dobbs playing wells up. But 0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:59.640 that's when you when you have that top dog, he's 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:01.520 gonna eat, he's gonna get his targets, he's gonna get 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:03.720 fifteen to twenty targets out there, but you gotta have 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.320 those secondary pieces kind of eating as well so you 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.720 can get their confidence going. And kudos to Mike McCarthy 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:10.480 because he's doing a heck of a job getting those 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:12.800 guys involved as of late. You know, earlier in the 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.400 season it was just Ceed, Lamb or Bus. Now he's 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.040 starting to realize, and I will take it with a 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.040 grain of salt because it is the Giants, but he's 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.240 starting to realize if I get these other pieces involved, 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.280 it makes it that much harder on the defense to 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.080 try to figure out what you're gonna do. You can 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.320 double ceedee Lamb all you want to, but are you 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.000 gonna leave Cooks on an island out there or you're 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:31.280 gonna leave Gallup on an island. Ferg is still available 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.040 as well, and now if we can get that running 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:37.920 game going consistently, like it wasn't like outstanding what they 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.319 were doing. But you combined those two running backs, I 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.840 believe combined they had what like a buck buck fifty 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.440 buck forty like that. If you can get that approach 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.800 to a game each and every week, a balanced approach, 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:49.680 it's gonna be tough to stop the Cowboys. 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:53.040 I take that, So tell me that. So listen. The 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:58.360 positive that I'm taking from the Brandon Cooks resurgence right 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.720 is Okay. Maybe I don't know if this is true 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.440 or whatever, but I'm just still trying to put my 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.640 finger on it. Maybe dak now feels a little bit 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:09.319 more comfortable in game depending on Brandon Cooks. Maybe that's 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.240 what you got out of this game. You don't think 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.640 like why wouldn't you be like, so you go two 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.040 games when you throw this got the ball, he makes 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.240 big time, catches four touchdowns, all right, and then you 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.520 just forget about him, and then you try to go 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:25.720 to Tober, you try to go to Gallup and you 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:27.480 figure out you can't do it. So now you just 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.720 tossed it at the CD every time, but you're not 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:31.840 figuring out a way to then help yourself in the 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.160 red zone. Because you just that's all you got. So 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:35.800 you go into this game you say, Okay, hold on, 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:37.959 if I throw it up. Okay, I know he's done 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:39.760 it before, but maybe if I throw it up, he's 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.120 gonna catch it. And I think Brandon Cooks even talked 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.319 about that in the interview at post game. He said, 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.520 you know, that's just a trust throw from Dak on 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:48.719 that out route we saw on that pick raight we 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.680 were talking about against Philly how they missed. Brandon Cooks 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:53.640 put him in a different situation, put him out in 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.160 the space, and then Dak can trust the throw that 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.559 he's making. The number three he's been, he's been a 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.080 veteran in this league too many, too many years. You know, 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:04.520 he knows where to go to get open, and Dak 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:06.840 trusting him to be there, I think made the difference. 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:07.320 I don't know. 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.800 Man Like again, we watch a little bit of practice, whatever, 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.640 we see. How much of that trust have they built 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.360 up over camp to today? They have to get to 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.040 the point to where that's just automatic. He he has 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.920 it with CD. It's coming of age in front of 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.319 our face right now with Brandon or I'm at is, 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:24.640 I don't. 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:25.959 I'm not so sure. 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.199 It's there yet because from what you said earlier, when 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.840 it comes down to that crucial moment, that clutch time, 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:34.840 and you're gonna revert to back to you know what 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:36.880 you are, your identity. We've seen it happen time and 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:38.480 time again in that Eagles game when it got to 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:40.560 nut cutting time. I'm going to see I'm going to 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.400 see it. Can we do that? Or can the Cowboys 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.360 do that? When it's basically clutch time? Is he gonna 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:47.960 revert back to man? I gotta go to CD This 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:49.280 is the only way I'm gonna go. I'm gonna get 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:51.240 this offense going. Or can he go out there and 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.600 spread the football around? Only time we'll tell on that one, 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.520 because from what we've seen so far this season, when 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.160 they're blowing guys out, everybody gets up, everybody gets a ball, 0:10:58.200 --> 0:10:59.280 everybody gets a touchdown. 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.880 But when it's tight game and they need something to happen. 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.360 I'm going to city. I'm going to city. I'm going 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.480 to city. Will that, you know change now that we've 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:06.880 got a little bit more from Brandon. 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.840 Cooks, But Barry, you know how, that's how you get 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.280 past the forty nine ers of the world. That's how 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:13.439 you have to do that, because what a what a 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.679 defense is gonna do? Come on, man, y'all know them, 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.360 they're gonna lock them up. They're gonna take away your 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:19.440 best thing you got out there. CD is gonna all right, 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.400 keep talking, all right, you're gonna start seeing these double 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.480 teams and now it's gonna be like you don't have 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.600 You're not gonna get that man the man no more. 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.800 We're gonna start sitting at safety over the top and 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.080 still see if you get a buck fifty and then 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.240 we have to go to these other places. That's why 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.240 guys like Schoolmaker, you gotta catch that ball, bro, you 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.080 got it, because all of those little things are gonna 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:38.680 be pivotal. 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.280 Even though we didn't play aero free in this game, 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:42.040 let's keep it real. 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:46.000 Penalty that two turnovers and I know it was garbage 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:49.560 time in a situation with Cooper with Cooper, but I'm 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.560 just saying, you can't have those miscues. You can't have 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:54.280 those errors. Those are the things that will get you 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.679 beat versus the good teams. We opened up, we get 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:58.520 all the way down to the one we don't score. 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:00.320 We were six and seven in the red zone. But 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.559 still those are things like that. That can change the 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.000 game for you. If you don't score early and you 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:06.760 get down there, you go for it on fourth and 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:08.120 goal and you don't get. 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.959 The early pick, the earlyzation. I mean, if it wasn't 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:12.960 the Giants, that could have came around and hurt team. 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.640 And you can and I believe this when I sent 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.600 the text message, that's what happens when you got one 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:21.920 and two and that's and that's that's all you go toward. 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:23.600 Right when you when you go either gonna throw out 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:25.320 the FERG or you're gonna throw out the CD, and 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.760 the defensive coordinator is sitting there saying, okay, when they 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:29.760 line up in this formation, no matter what it is, 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:32.199 you make sure you take away eighty eight. You make 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.720 sure you got somebody on that tight end you lop. 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:38.199 He'll throw it to you right and right two about six. 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:39.840 But until you figure it out, which is why I 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:41.880 think this is helpful not just for Cooks, but I 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:43.680 also think this is helpful for the ring game as well, 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.920 because now defensive coordinators have to you know, they have 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.679 to put more resources toward not just CD, but then 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.079 also Brandon Cooks. 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.640 So this is another week coming up against the Carolina 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:58.760 Panthers and Charlotte to go ahead and implement keep on working. 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:04.120 The Cowboys are a different team on the road than 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.640 they are at home. They score a lot less, they've lost. 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:08.440 More games on the road. 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.400 So this is another good test. This is this is 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:14.200 kind of like that that sec thing. You know how 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:18.400 you guys get to play Western Carolina and Liberty or 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.080 somebody in November and it's all. 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.440 Right, you know, let's let's get you know whatever we 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:24.160 think we need. 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:25.480 To kind of work on a little bit here to 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:27.760 get ready for our rivalry game and get ready for 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.319 you know, whatever else is left. This is that time, 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.960 So there's there's another opportunity to get into the lab 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:37.079 and let's improve this. Let's improve that against Carolina. Then 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:40.440 you've got You've got Washington on Thanksgiving Day. Then the 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:44.000 next Thursday you got a game against Seattle. Those are 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.800 two home games, and then you got Philadelphia. So this 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.520 is the opportunity to start getting this thing riled up here, 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.880 get it going, and you know, so can can you 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:52.800 do it again with Cooks? 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:53.000 Right? 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.320 So what we need to trust it when you time 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.400 prove of consistency. So I need to see this in Charlotte. 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.240 Need to see him getting off in Charlotte. Need to 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.160 see him getting down on Thanksgiving Day, and and and 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:03.840 go from there. 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:05.439 He's on the ball. 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:09.880 It's been like the donaball give them a shot man 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.760 out there running up and down the field, doing great shape. 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:14.719 Only do is catch the ball. 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.360 Bro. You don't see him having those issues, the drops 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:18.920 and all that stuff. You know that you can depend 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:20.480 on him to be in the right spot and catch 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:22.440 the thing on football. He's been doing that for his 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.240 entire career and now you got a shot to do 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.640 it against the Giants. Proof time and consistence is what 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:27.200 we need to see. 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:29.400 So we just need to get this podcast to Dak. 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:35.440 You know, listen up, we can help make the promo. Bro. 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.560 I mean we got that. We got that what you need, right, 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:38.960 we got what you need. 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.360 I mean that's the version of Dak that you saw 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.680 this Sunday Man. Everybody know he's capable of that. But 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.040 you know what, everybody's gonna start singing the same thing 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.280 is after these next couple of games, are. 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:51.080 You just beating easy? You're supposed to win these games? 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:56.200 That's right? Is it true? Right? But that's the lead up. 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:58.640 That's the that's the lead up to December the tenth, 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:00.680 and you know it's true, it's gonna start with Seattle. 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:03.640 But still those murmurs, those whispers are like, you do 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.160 this versus these teams, but versus the big teams? Can 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.120 you do the ones that we need you to win? 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:11.040 Fortunate for us, these are games that's gonna be at home. 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.200 And I got the feeling. I don't know if you 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.680 y'all starting to feel it, but something special starting to 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.640 happen with us at home, and it would be a 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.440 damn shame if we didn't have a playoff game at home. 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:24.480 This ship that that commander you said, see that commander's game. 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:30.400 I'm not overlooking them. That was a good game, The 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.600 games out everything everything. 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:38.440 That's all I know, man, is can that same smoke 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:40.640 that was applied to that or this year, can they 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.400 now take that smoke and transferred over to Trevor Lawrence 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:48.680 Because Trevor Lawrence was the home game against San Francisco 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:49.920 that was terrible. 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.280 I'm gonna tell you I felt sorry for Trevor Lawrence 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:57.080 because boy, that for the Niners defense was owner. Okay, Chase, 0:15:57.120 --> 0:16:01.200 you I know that, like Chase, And this is what 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:04.640 I don't understand about that. The reason why it's not 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.400 gonna get transferred over to Trevor Lawrence is because in 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:11.280 our eyes, Dak Prescott is here and Trevor Lawrence is here. 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:14.600 The expectation for me when I'm looking at a guy 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.200 like Dak Prescott first a guy like Trevor Lawrence is 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:19.000 when it happens to Trevor Lawrence, I'm like, man, that's 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:21.840 bad game. What happens to Dak and we're here, We're like, 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:23.920 this is why we ain't been able to get over 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.080 the hump. Trevor Lawrence ain't got in that get over 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:27.200 the hump conversation yet. 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.360 It's yeah, work his way up, all right. 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.040 So I'm gonna go back to just expectations him when 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.200 you look at this is a team if we saw 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.640 him in person when they when they Cowboys went down 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.080 to do ball down fourteen and Trevor Lawrence helped lead 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:41.920 to come back. They go ahead and win the division. 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.440 They beat your boys in the playoffs, came down from that. 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.320 So we're looking at Trevor Lawrence saying, Okay, now he's 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:48.760 got got real coaches. 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.600 No urban rookie, Now you got real coaches. Take that 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:53.640 next step shows what you could do. 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.200 I know I suckered and bought into it against the 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.840 forty nine wnat. 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:04.640 Don't bring that anger over here because you'm taking. 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.200 Man and want us and want us to be made. 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:14.080 Another thing, the most out, the most important thing is 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:20.080 he killing my fantasy team. The tour was off. This 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:21.000 dude had to play. 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:23.880 You're gonna roll out seventeen to twenty nine, one eighty five, 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:25.440 two picks, five sacks. 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.160 Come on, man, Travis Aten couldn't even get up nine 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.960 carries thirty five. This is terrible. Now you got lucky, 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.080 get your boy, got him San Francis. 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.120 Gonna come up to San Francisco coming up about getting healthy. 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.840 Three points got their people back. But I think you 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:39.879 may be on your own for people that I know. 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:45.399
