I'm trying to do something to 34 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: take my mind off of it. It's a whole roller 35 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: coaster thing. Heck, I just you know, put all together 36 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: and I you know, so you you're clinched up the 37 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: whole time, kind of way, you got tight cheeks. The 38 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: best thing is when like you right on the plane 39 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: going back. Yeah, there's a little clinch there. If I'm 40 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: focused on other things, it's fine. But if I got 41 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: to focus on certain things, So can you work on 42 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: the plane? Are you gonna sit there and yeah, pull 43 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: out a laptop. Yeah. But if I've got nothing to do, 44 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: I'm just like, god, how much time? Oh okay, ten 45 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: minutes past? Cool? We only got three hours left? Are 46 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: you don't want to watch it? Like the little plane 47 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: go across the map? It's like, oh, yeah, we're in 48 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 1: little rock almost there. Like watching Payton Dry that's terrible. 49 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: I do that because I like pull up a laptop 50 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: in front of me and I'll do whatever on my 51 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: laptop and then I'll just have that kind of up 52 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: in front. I think to watch me, I have to 53 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 1: watch a movie. Really, I have to watch movies. You though, 54 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: you go home and you watch a movie. That's my chill. 55 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: That's my chill. I cannot. The most pressrating thing is 56 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: with like my if my you know, my my iPad, 57 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: but my tablet dies or you know, they don't have 58 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: a screen and a back of a hand. Rast that's 59 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 1: the worst. That's the worst. You're just sitting there literally 60 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: like this, especially if you have a metal seat, it's terrible. Yeah. Yeah, 61 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: but luckily have some pretty good status with American Airlines, 62 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 1: so I'm pretty excited.

Let's just say that. I mean, he's got 66 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: a he's got a guy with everybody. Can you can 67 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: you fly or can you sleep on a plane? I 68 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: know you can fly, but Jesus yea, you are superman. Yeah. Man, 69 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: I don't have any problems with it. You know, it's 70 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: not one of those hangduffs that I have. But you 71 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: know I have a problem with you know, children on planes. 72 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: You know, anytime I'm always surveying, like, look, where's the 73 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: little kid going?

But I'm just saying it's 76 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: some over the years, it's like I'm the guy that 77 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: gets the kid that's screaming behind the whole flag. Yeah. 78 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: But fortunately I have a nurturing wife that always give 79 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: the baby to me and then she's the best next 80 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: to you. I might stop doing that stop doing that. 81 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: By the way, these headphones there, they are live changed. 82 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: They cut out everybody. Yeah, so all right, let's get this. Thanks. 83 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: Let's get into some news and notes with Rob Phillips. 84 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: Anything pop up. Yesterday, very quiet day around the starting, 85 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: which very good, which is a good thing. We were 86 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: talking pre show. I mean, we've talked injuries. Yesterday we 87 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: covered well, we covered the fact that that Cedric Wilson 88 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: is on the COVID list. As of yesterday afternoon when 89 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: the transaction wire came out, the Cowboys did not have 90 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: any additions to the COVID So that's a that's a win. 91 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: This is crazy based off the last two days. For sure, 92 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: I rs because man seventy five plus players I believe. 93 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: I believe, yes, whether whether they're positive cases or close contacts, 94 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: and I think, yeah, it's two straight days of record numbers. 95 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: So he hope that turns around. He look at what 96 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: Cleveland's going through right now and what you look what 97 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: the Cowboys went through a couple of weeks ago. So 98 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: you just hope that that continues. Yeah, thirty seven positive 99 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: tests on Monday for COVID nineteen and then addition to 100 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: that yesterday and now we're getting news today about guys 101 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: like Baker Mayfield is now on the COVID list, coach 102 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: Kevin Safanski's on the COVID list. I mean, we saw 103 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: what Odell Beckham junior hours after playing in Arizona on 104 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: Monday night football, what he was placed on the COVID list. 105 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: He kint a touchdown and then less than twelve hours 106 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: later he was on the COVID list. So it's very 107 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: interesting to see how this is evolving. And at the moment, 108 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, or at least they were ahead of the curve. 109 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: Let's just say it that way, because they they've had 110 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 1: some problems, but they're not necessarily the problem at the moment, 111 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: and of course that can change in any waking moment. 112 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: So let's knock on that wood. But what does this 113 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: say about the NFL or does this mean that they're 114 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: going to be any changes coming up soon or is 115 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: that something that's that's on the horizon. Yeah, they did 116 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: send a memo out to um the Cowboys and the 117 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: other thirty one teams that all Tier one and Tier 118 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: two staffs, So that means coaches and in football operations people, 119 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: anybody that's around the players have to be boostered in 120 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 1: the next two weeks. I think it's December twenty seventh. Ye, 121 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: So trying to you know, boost up that immunity is 122 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 1: the goal. And so we'll see what happens with the players, 123 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: because that's got to be collectively bargained. But the league 124 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: trying to take steps to mitigate this. Man, you're gonna 125 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: say anything, No, I wasn't. I was. I'm you know, 126 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: I'm just this is a giant concern for I mean, 127 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: not just football teams, basketball teams, but society in general. 128 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: The numbers going back up, and so you know, I 129 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: really don't want the season to be stalled out. When 130 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: you saw the percentage just go up like this overnight, 131 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: I think, I guess. I guess the only fortunate to 132 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: be fortunate for the Cowboys is that they had a 133 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: kind of an outbreak weeks ago and some certain provisions 134 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: have been placed put in place here to make sure 135 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: that this doesn't continue. But it doesn't. It doesn't matter 136 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: what you do, how safe you are, how careful you 137 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: can be, It's still just one of those things that 138 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: this ever president and when we get comfortable and we 139 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: forget about it, it's like I'm here, how are you 140 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: welcome back. It's tough because you don't know if it's 141 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: the new variant that's going around or starting to go around. 142 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: You don't know if it's the fact that people that 143 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: got their their shots in March, it's been nine months 144 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: and that immunity is just not what it was. Maybe 145 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: it's a combination of both, but yeah, it's all hex right, 146 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: Like just when you think we've kind of turned the 147 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: corner and you relax, here it comes back up again. 148 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: And the good thing about it is on this show, 149 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: there was a day in time when it was everything 150 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: we talked about. It was that was the news of 151 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: the day, and it was pretty much, i mean, wall 152 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: to wall and we hated it. I mean we would 153 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: talk about it off air and we were like, we 154 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: cannot stand talking about this anymore. We just want to 155 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: talk football. And it's the first time we've actually had 156 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: to really talk about it outside of the Cowboys. But 157 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: that shows just how severe it really is. Getting anything 158 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: else in terms of the Cowboys and anything stick out there. 159 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: Not just they're back to practice today. It's a pretty 160 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: nice day out today, a little windy. I would imagine 161 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: they're outside. I'm not sure on that, So let's see 162 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: what see what Tony Pollard can do this week. If 163 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: he can get back into limited practice, I think that'd 164 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: be a sign that maybe he can play. Jerry Jones 165 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: sound encouraged. We'll see, you know. I think the fact 166 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: he did a little bit pregame with Britt Brown, but 167 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: it wasn't what I saw. I didn't look like he 168 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: was really pushing it, So I don't think he had 169 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: a great shot to play to begin with. Maybe that 170 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,719 Speaker 1: changes with another week. And I don't believe this is 171 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: up on the website just yet, but I talked with 172 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: Steven Jones yesterday. We had a quick interview and he 173 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: talked about Tony Pollard and actually said that that he, 174 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: like like Jerry did, felt encouraged, but still cautious. They 175 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: don't want to rush him back, much like they've said 176 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: with a couple of different guys throughout the year, Tyren 177 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: Smith being one of those. They want to make sure 178 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: he's fully held, fully ready to go, so that way 179 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: nothing else pops up later on. You would you like 180 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: to see Tony Pollard back in the fold quicker rather 181 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: than later. Do you think you could maybe spare a 182 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: couple of games here It's been weird how the plants are. 183 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: Fasciitis injury has been perceived by people in the NFL 184 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: saying that if it tears, that's a good thing. I've 185 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: never heard anything tearing be a good thing, but obviously 186 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: with plants are it is, and it's something that's not 187 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: going to keep him out for the season. It's just 188 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: gonna be a pain tolerance thing for him. So, I mean, 189 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: obviously I want to see him back, but I think 190 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: I want to see him back healthy enough to make 191 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: a playoff run court. Klaman came in and did a 192 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: really good job. I mean, it's not enough being said 193 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: about the substitute duty that he did. So look, I 194 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: think when you go up again, it's a defense Like 195 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: the New York Giants. I believe obviously you're trying to 196 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: get Zeke back on pace right now. If Tony is 197 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: not one as far as the Plantard is concerned, then 198 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: I would definitely be okay with keeping them out. What 199 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: do you think ISAA people ain't gonna like they don't 200 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: like what I say. I think I think you should 201 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 1: keep Zeke out this week. Personally, I think you keep 202 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: Zeke said them. I think you said them both. I 203 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: think you said them both. I think that you you 204 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: feel good enough about your team against this particular opponent 205 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,599 Speaker 1: that you can use this as a potential buy a 206 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: week for those guys. I'm not hes not healthy. I 207 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: remember the last thing we had confidence. I mean, I 208 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: mean no disrespect to me there, your professional team, professional team, 209 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: I mean, but you have an You didn't take advantage 210 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: of the seventeen days that you had that you could 211 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: have got Zeke healthy. You missed that window, right, You 212 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: chose to keep them in the game, playing for fourteen 213 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: fifteen snaps of pass protection, whatever it was. You missed 214 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: that opportunity. Here's an opportunity again that presents itself where 215 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: you know you Zeke's most likely not gonna have a 216 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: major impact on this game. Zeke came in this past game, 217 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: looked like he was a little bit better, took one 218 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: shot on his knee, and then where did he go 219 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 1: to the sideline? He's not healthy, Okay, much like we're 220 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: talking about Dak's not who Dack is right now because 221 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: of whatever's going on with him. Zeke's not healthy. So 222 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: take advantage of it, like you said, Corey Climman, did 223 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: it came in and did a great job. He was 224 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: running hard, he had explosion, he had quickness, he had 225 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 1: some quick twitch to him that we haven't seen from 226 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: our backfield in a while. So let him go out 227 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: there and do it. Do what he does. We had 228 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: hard yet we brought up from the from the practice squad. 229 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: Bring him back out there too. Let these guys establish 230 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: a run. It's really an office a line issue that 231 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: we've been having, not so much of a running back issue. 232 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: The running backs just haven't been healthy. So use this 233 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: week as an opportunity as you start trying to ramp 234 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: up towards winning this NFC East and get your guys 235 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: healthy because you're not going to be where you want 236 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: to be with two limping running backs. It's interesting and 237 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: thought about that. Um, we're gonna get into the Giant's 238 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: offense by the way, Yes we will, and they've struggled 239 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: for sure. Uh the only you're right, Like, I would 240 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: love to see Zee another week off and get healthier, 241 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: because he did say that many buy helped him. The 242 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: Devil's advocate side of that is, I would want as 243 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: many healthy guys on offense as I can get on 244 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: the field and try to get more reps together and 245 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: get this thing right. So I think there's merit to 246 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: both sides. Resting guys. Oh, healthy, healthy, healthy, Yeah, and 247 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: Zeke's not one hundred percent and he probably won't be 248 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: one hundred percent the rest of the season because there's 249 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: no more breaks here. You still have three weeks after 250 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: this one, though, so if you wanted to set him out, 251 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: you still have three solid games, three reps. If you're 252 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: locked into the NFC's title by week eighteen and you're 253 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: the fourth seed and you're not going in there, maybe 254 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: there's an opportunity that's happened before. But but if you 255 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 1: have a potential, do you guys feel good about this game? 256 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: I know that comes on Friday? Okay, feel good? Pretty 257 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: good about this game. Our ability to execute on offense 258 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 1: without our two running backs, we feel good about that. 259 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: What would you say would be the contingency plan? Though? 260 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: That would make me feel Hardy Hardy? What if you 261 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: replaced Hardy with Ceedee Lamb and you put him in 262 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: the backfield? I did it twice. Yeah, he's good as 263 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 1: a changeup. He's good as a changeup. He is I 264 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,839 Speaker 1: thought he's not. You're asking that question for a reason. Whoa. 265 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: I'm saying, if you can utilize this week as an 266 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: opportunity to get your guys some rest, polar Zeke, those 267 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: are the two guys I'm thinking about. Tyrants already gone right, 268 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: get those two guys a week off. Okay. Now you 269 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: let those guys chill, get healthy, work with Britt and 270 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: work with Jimbo, all those guys. Okay, then you ball 271 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: out these next few weeks. That's the expectation. And then 272 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: if you ever to secure the NFC East, now that 273 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: last week, do you need to play them? No? No, no, 274 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: So now you're still in two weeks right now, that 275 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: last week going and hopefully going into the playoffs, that 276 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: isn't going to be enough. We know one week isn't 277 00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: enough to get Zeke back where he needs to be. 278 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 1: So you have an opportunity to get him a week 279 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: off right now, get back, get him some more reps, 280 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: and then give him another week off if you take 281 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: care of business. So I'm saying, you have an opportunity 282 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: to still two weeks. You don't need Pollard and Zeke 283 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: to win this game. Yeah, that's the philosophy that I 284 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: think a lot of Cowboy fans that have watched Zeke 285 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks, are probably you know, 286 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: clamoring for that because they feel like, you know, you're 287 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: not seeing number twenty one at his full potential. And 288 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: then when he's in there, like you said, he's limping 289 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: back to the sidelines. But I also like what Jerry 290 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: Jones said in this interview on one to five three 291 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: about resting anyone. He's like, hell no, we're going up 292 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: to New York to play for all the marbles. Ye, 293 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: We're attacking this as though. Look, this is the game 294 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: to get us in the playoffs. And if that's the 295 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: mentality the culture changed that we've been talking about the 296 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: whole time, we're not letting off the gas. Health is 297 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: what's important, I understand. Clearly obviously we all trust this 298 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: medical staff and Britt Brown. They wouldn't send Zeke out 299 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: there if he was going to be a danger to himself. 300 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: I feel so, Look, the umber one thing is getting 301 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: this offense back on track. You're still top ten in 302 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: every statistical category even right now, but all of that's 303 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: gonna go back down to zero once we get to 304 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Who's gonna be the healthiest going into it 305 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: is gonna be most important. And it's hard to debate 306 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: what you just said because obviously we don't have a 307 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: healthy Ezekiel Elliott going up against let's just say the Rams. 308 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: If we have the Rams at home for the first like, 309 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a game that you're gonna be saying, Look, 310 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: we need him at one hundred percent, and right now 311 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: he ain't even close to it. So you see both 312 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: sides of it. You're saying, but what would you do 313 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: if you were in that position? If I'm I mean, 314 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: y'all know me, man, I'm playing for blood. I want 315 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: it all. I'm you know, I want I want us 316 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: to dominate the NFCS. I remember last year. I ain't forgot, 317 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: you know, i'mn't you know, And I think that everybody. 318 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: We're on a revenge tour right now, and we got 319 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: to get back to get I understand that. You know, Look, 320 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: this thing gets an over with it and solidified. But 321 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: this verse, we could be a situation where we clinch, 322 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: but we need other help from other teams. But then 323 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: next week we should we should be the picture should 324 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: be clearer, you know. And I think when you get 325 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: down to that, maybe let's just say the Arizona game. 326 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: You clinched the NFC East. You're not gonna get any 327 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: better than where you are. Then maybe that's what we're 328 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: talking about, to start resting it or even considering resting guys. 329 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: Then yeah, I'm just I'm just looking at it from 330 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: the standpoint right now. Let's say, Zeke, what percentage do 331 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: you say Zeke is right now? Seventy five? I'm not 332 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: getting him seventy five, I'd say seven. I'm getting them sixty. 333 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: I say this is sixty percent Zeke, sixty percent z 334 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: there's no burst, there's no there's no running over people, 335 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: cut right, there's no cutting right. And if he gets hit, 336 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: where did you go down? He goes to the the sideline. 337 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: So I'm giving a sixty percent Zeke. So right now 338 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: we're asking, we're asking for blood. Right, you want to 339 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: go out there and take blood, right, But we're putting 340 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: out there a sixty percent Zeke, which is just that 341 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: an estimate. Okay, Now, if you give him a break, 342 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: come back next week, maybe you have a seventy five 343 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: percent Zeke. Right, that gets knocked down to maybe a 344 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: you know, sixty five seventy during the game, and then 345 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: you can even build that backup. Right. So, what I'm 346 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 1: saying is, if you have a sixty percent Zeke right 347 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: now and you're not going to get a better version 348 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: of him going throughout the rest of the season, you're not. 349 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: So as we started, you start talking about playoffs and 350 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: all the things that everybody's hopeful for, you're not gonna 351 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 1: get anything better than up to maybe a seventy five 352 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: percent ze If you allow him to chill that last 353 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: week and you're hoping for that for that situation, you're 354 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: in control of the situation this week. Clement right now 355 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: is one hundred percent when he showed us other day. Yeah, 356 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: I feel a hundredercent confident with him now. His blocking, 357 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. There's a whole lot of other things 358 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: that we don't know about. Can he do to understand 359 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 1: the blocking scheme and all the things that Zeke does well. 360 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: But in terms of running the ball, we don't need 361 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: Zeke in this game. What about pass protection? That that's 362 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. That's what I'm saying, like, that's 363 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 1: that's that's aspect that I say I can't speak to 364 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: because I don't know his understanding of the offense that well. 365 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: Zeke is a beast when it comes to past protection. 366 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: He doesn't get enough credit for it. But there's ways 367 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: that Kellen Moore to being a gur he is. He 368 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: has to be able to scheme some stuff around. If 369 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: it comes down to Hey playing Zeke because of his 370 00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: ability to block against the Giants versus getting him healthy, 371 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: Kellum Moore can figure that out. I don't know if 372 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: I trust this team to start resting people yet. I 373 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: think when you have a veteran squad, and this is 374 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, if a guy's hurt, he can't go, 375 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: he can't go, then let's not even play with that. 376 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: But I'm saying, when if the flow that you're gonna 377 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: go in with and you're not gonna have a buye this, 378 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: you get an opportunity to go in with some type 379 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: of rhythm and momentum. I think even with the Washington 380 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: football game, look for two quarters, I washed us kick 381 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: Washington's tale and then completely let up off the pedal. 382 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: All right, I worry about that. I worry about this team. 383 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: It seemed like they get out of rhythm a lot 384 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: easier than other teams that I witnessed, and I worry 385 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: about that going into the playoffs. If we give too 386 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: much rest, will we be just completely dysfunctional with not 387 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: playing Our starters are giving these young guys a break 388 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: going into the playoffs. And I don't disagree with you. 389 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: I don't consider us to be a rest. I consider 390 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: us to be a necessity for Zeke. Yeah, that's I'm 391 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: talking about for Zike. And trust me, I've spent more 392 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: time than anybody with this training staff. These guys are amazing. 393 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: But understand, when I was playing here, I was playing 394 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: with a sublet shoulder. My shoulder will pop out in 395 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: my sleep. But guess what on game day, I was 396 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: still tied that thing down and go play. So what 397 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: presenters was? I wasn't nowhere near one hundred percent, but 398 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: I can still make a contribution to the team and 399 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: whatever capacity put me in, I was nowhere near one 400 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: hundred percent. Couldn't put my arms over my head okay 401 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 1: without my shoulder popping out. So you're there's guys, if 402 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: you have the will and determination, you'll play injured. Zeke's 403 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: playing injured, but in order for him to have an 404 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: impact on this team, we need him healthy. Zeke, what 405 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: did he do last week that we felt like he 406 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: made a huge contribution to the team. No disrespect to Zeke, 407 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: but what did he do that Clemens couldn't do? Absolutely nothing, 408 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: not last week, not last week. What about the week before? 409 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: Probably nothing nothing. So what I'm saying, we're not getting 410 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: him better. We have a Zeke. Zeke's out there. What 411 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: does that mean right now? When he's sixty percent of 412 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: what he could be? That makes a lot of sense, 413 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,199 Speaker 1: And I think the coaching staff is gonna have a 414 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: tough decision on that. But a lot of it depends 415 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: on how Zeke looks practice, and they get a better 416 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: look at them than we do sitting across the table 417 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: or sitting across the building than where they are. So 418 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: let's just keep that in mind as well. We get 419 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: into it going into Sunday. Now when we come back, 420 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: let's talk about that Giant's offense. What do they bring 421 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: to the table this weekend?

Daniel Jones pretty much out, 486 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: still technically questionable, but you can say it's a slim 487 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: chance that he's back this week. Kid Arius Tony, who 488 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: really torched the Cowboys the first time around back in 489 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 1: Week five, he's on the injured reserve and he's got COVID. 490 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: So yeah, I hate to hear that I'm not gonna 491 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: happen with him. Kyle Murphy offensive lineman out a door, 492 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: Jackson questionable with with a quad, Leonard Williams questionable with 493 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: an elbow. So there are a lot of guys that 494 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: are key contributors for the Giants that are out, and 495 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: I believe there's even more on that list than what 496 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: I'm looking at at the moment. So, Rob, when you 497 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: look at this team coming in, what are they going 498 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,959 Speaker 1: to bring to the table on the offensive side if 499 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: they don't have Daniel Jones and they don't have Kadarius Tony, 500 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: tell us Rob, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Now 501 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: that they've had three games since Jason Garrett was fired 502 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 1: as offensive coordinator and Joe Judge in his statement said 503 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: we're not scoring enough points. Well, in the three games 504 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: since then, they have scored. Add it up real quick 505 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: with that Agument thirteen and twenty one and lost to 506 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: the Chargers. And I think Mike Lennon, who actually played 507 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,479 Speaker 1: most of the game against the Cowboys earlier in the season, 508 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: because it was a Jabril Cox that that injured. It 509 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: was on the goal line to Daniel Genial Jones. Yeah, 510 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: he only averaged five point three yards attempt per attempt 511 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 1: on Sunday. They're just not getting chunk plays and that's 512 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,959 Speaker 1: been a problem for the Cowboys. But it's probably been 513 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: as big a problem for the Giants as any offense 514 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: in the league this year. And of course the Cowboys 515 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: they do have a chance to clinch the division this week. 516 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: But let me run through what it what it's going 517 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: to take for that to happen. Cowboys will clinch the 518 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: NFC East with a win plus an Eagles win versus 519 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: the Washington Football Team, and the Cowboys clean clinch on 520 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 1: strength of victory tiebreaker over the Eagles, so it would 521 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: need a win there. Then you've got Dallas also clinches 522 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: the division if they get a win and the Eagles 523 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: and the Washington Football Team tie on Sunday. So it's 524 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: there's a chance that it happens, and there's a chance 525 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: It kind of goes back to what we were talking 526 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: about in an opening segment, is do you really feel 527 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: threatened by this New York Giants team. Oh? No, No, 528 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 1: they're they're they're they're they're wounded. I don't know where 529 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: the animal they would be, but they're they're an animal 530 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: that's low on the totem pole. Peacock. Yeah, probably a peacock. 531 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: And it's a peacock that's wounded. It's it wounded peacock. 532 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: So it's that you can identify and you can see it. 533 00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: You can see it is a nice, bright and beautiful 534 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: but it's beat down already, and it wasn't a threat 535 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: to begin with. These guys are not good, you know. 536 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: I think last time we faced them, I was waiting 537 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 1: for you to say that. I was waiting for you 538 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: to say that line right there, these guys are not good, 539 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: because there was one time earlier in the season you 540 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: said that, and I didn't want you to say it again. 541 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: It was against the Denver Broncos. Leading into the Denver 542 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: Broncos game, you said that exact line, that exact line. 543 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you. I'm telling you said that exact 544 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: line prior to the Broncos game. So I want you 545 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: to tell me why this is different. For ten minutes 546 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: before you came in, we talked about got it, Calm down, 547 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: calm down, fight. We were talking about parenting before you 548 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 1: came in, and that's one thing you teach your kids 549 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: not to do. Your Sorry, Listen, these guys have one 550 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: guy that can freaking make your life a miserable. Yeah. 551 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 1: Who is h double hockey stick? I mean, I mean 552 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: and with their officive line, they try everything they can 553 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: to get the all in his hand. So you're gonna 554 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 1: get a full dose of him in the backfield, him 555 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: at the receiver position, him might be at quarterback. You 556 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: don't you don't know what you're gonna get out of that, 557 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 1: but he's gonna get the ball in his hands and 558 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: you just have to find a way to shut him down. 559 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 1: And this entire offense revolves around him. Now, do they 560 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: have a couple of weapons at receiver? Yes, But Tony, 561 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: like I mentioned before we played them last time, that 562 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: was the guy that you had to really circle and say, hey, 563 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: this little sneaky joker right here can get you. And 564 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: he did. He got us. Guess what. Now, A couple 565 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: of things got him unfortunately, you know, so we don't 566 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: have to worry about him this week. They don't have 567 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: anybody else that is a huge threat, and they don't 568 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: have anybody to throw the ball. You know. The guy 569 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 1: who's gonna be throwing a ball for them this week, 570 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: most likely is somebody that digs. Is hopeful that play 571 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: you know, plays and gains him again because he picked 572 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: them off last time and they got from they picked 573 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: him up. I don't know, maybe if there's a rotation, 574 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: if it doesn't go well at quarterback, but I mean, look, yeah, 575 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: Glennon is probably their likely starter. They gotta get galla 576 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: day going. I'm not gonna do See, this is the thing, 577 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: and I've thought about this, watching this. I was up 578 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: early this morning thinking about this. The last time that 579 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: we underestimated the Square, it was the Denver Broncos and 580 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: it was all about them coming in here like, oh man, God, 581 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,479 Speaker 1: we gotta buy a weeg. We're gonna wrong, am and 582 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: boy where we're wrong about that. Look, I don't feel 583 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: anything about Mike Glennon. He's a big guy um that 584 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: came into the league play for Tampa his first year, 585 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: but ever since then, his trajectory has been going down. 586 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: You're right, say Quan is all they have. But even 587 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: watching say Quon, he just doesn't trust that kneed yet. 588 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: And obviously it's just with the injury. And I think 589 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: about Dak too, we're coming back from an injury. When 590 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: does he get to the point where he's trusting himself. 591 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: You can see it in the way that say Quon 592 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: is running. Also, Kenny Golladay, you know he's serviceable, but 593 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: he definitely needs a quarterback in his situation to get 594 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: him the ball and he doesn't have that um One 595 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: thing about our defense and I alluded to that first 596 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: half and just seeing the way that they dominated the 597 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: Washington football team, I expect them to back that performance 598 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: up and come back to the to the Metal Lands 599 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: or whatever it's called now and beat them down with 600 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: that same style they have to attack this team. They 601 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: do not handle the blitz well, they're at the bottom 602 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: of the league when you are blitzing them. So look, 603 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: letting go of the dogs is would be the time 604 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: to do this. And guys, have you ever been like 605 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: watching something on Instagram and just go down the rabbit 606 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: hole of just looking at the same thing over and 607 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: over again. So this is this guy is a hunter 608 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: and he has a bunch of dogs, and he lets 609 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: his dogs go first, and then his dogs when they 610 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: find whatever it is, He's like, oh, okay, really easy 611 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: way to hunt. Yeah, that's what we do. To your point, 612 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: when when Jerry dogs go, dogs out. When Jerry was 613 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: referencing one or five through the fan yesterday about the 614 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: second half of the game and let him and we 615 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: got to bring everything against the Giants, I think he 616 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: had visions of Deaver in his head too. I think, so, yeah, 617 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: let's not just think we can show up and win 618 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,959 Speaker 1: this game. And are they more talented, absolutely, you know, 619 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: but they got they gotta bring it, and I think 620 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,239 Speaker 1: I think this game is more about themselves defensively than 621 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: what the Giants present, because building off that front seven performance, 622 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: that was a good performance by a defensive line by 623 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: the Cowboys that I've seen in a while, and like 624 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: I think, I look, PFF said, they pressured Kyle Allen 625 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: and Heinik twenty times in the game, sacked him five times. 626 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: Dak was pressured thirteen times. By comparison, there was a 627 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: lot of pressure in his face. Yep. So that just 628 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: shows you what they accomplished. Fresh eleven guys in there 629 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: build off of that man, that's uh, that's what they're 630 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: going to be trying to do. And where would you 631 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: compare the New York Giants offensive line compared to the 632 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: Washington football offensive line? Oh that's what do you guys think? 633 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: I don't know that. I mean both have struggled. Probably 634 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: seventy seventy five percent is good? Yeah, my wrong? And 635 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: saying yeah, I mean there's an opportunity here to build 636 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: on that performance is kind of end. Yeah, this offensive 637 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: line isn't you know? I don't again put some respect 638 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: on the name. Um, I just feel as though I 639 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: want to I want to. Can I have eleven Levins? 640 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: Is there a possible way to get ten other guys 641 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: like this one guy on the field at one time, Bazukas, 642 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: that's what I want. Wants he wants a bowl order 643 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: because you know, got the free trial. You love it, 644 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: I mean just watching it and sometimes you have to 645 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: with all the hype and everything, you have to ask yourself, like, 646 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: am I really come on? Is it really happening like this? 647 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: And you could tell offensive lineman don't know what to 648 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: do with him when he licked the Washington football team 649 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: was in disarray. When we had our five guys on 650 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: their five guys, they it was a matchup nightmare. And 651 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna compare all the way through the end of 652 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: the year who he is and lt whoever else you want. 653 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 1: But maybe this guy is one of one. Maybe we 654 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: hadn't seen anything like this, maybe yesterday. Maybe the way 655 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: that the versatility that he plays with from edge to 656 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: linebacker and other things that he does out in coverage, 657 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: we just hadn't seen from a defensive player. So I 658 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: mean it is it is for me, I'm sure for 659 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence. I'm sure for Randy Gregory. This is something 660 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: that these guys are like, my god, this is everything 661 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: because you can't chip me. If I'm d law you 662 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: can't chip me anymore. And Neville Gallimore. Neville Gallimore on 663 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: that one play, it's like when your mama called and say, hey, 664 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: I'm outside, come help me get the groceries. And you 665 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: have to put as much in your hands. Since he 666 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: carried this center like groceries to the quarterback. That was amazing. Dog. 667 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: Never Gallimore, Dog, that is it right there? My mom 668 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: on my way, my mom coming, I'm coming. He carried 669 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: the groceries. Boy, he's got six plastic bags oh each 670 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: hand before we head into our second break. How about 671 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: this that this was circulating on Cowboys Twitter earlier in 672 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: the week. Through thirteen games, Michael Parsons has more sacks, 673 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 1: more tackles, more tackles for loss, and more quarterback hits 674 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: than Khalil mac did and this entire defensive Player of 675 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: the Year season back in twenty sixteen. That's crazy. More 676 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: than Khalil max dpoy in twenty sixteen. He has twelve 677 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: sacks versus eleven, seventy five tackles versus seventy three, seventeen 678 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:12,240 Speaker 1: tackles for loss versus fourteen, and then twenty seven versus 679 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 1: twenty six quarterback hits. And I wrote about this last week. 680 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: If you want to compare him in the player of 681 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:21,720 Speaker 1: the Year race to Miles Garrett, t. J. Watt significantly 682 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: less snaps rushing the passer, so you almost have to 683 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: grade it on a curve what he's doing. Yeah, And 684 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: so the sacks, he's not first in sacks, but man, 685 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: he would be if you yea, if he rushed all 686 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: the time. He's uh And Dan Quinn said yesterday, you 687 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,439 Speaker 1: know well about LT what about Lawrence Taylor LT. Maybe 688 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: the greatest defensive player of all time. So that's a 689 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,919 Speaker 1: hard comparison to make for anybody, But like just from 690 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: a players standpoint, like he said, you kind of knew 691 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: where LT was gonna line up. That's the beauty of 692 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: bike it. You have no idea where he's gonna be. 693 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 1: Yep So changing the game at the moment the way 694 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: that he's playing here in his rookie season. All right, 695 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: when we come back, let's talk a little bit more 696 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 1: about what this defense can do.

I've got a question for you, guys. 751 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 1: I need you to tell me truthfully because I feel 752 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,760 Speaker 1: like we need to at least address it. Okay, how 753 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 1: far can this defense carry the Dallas Cowboys in these 754 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 1: final four games of the year and then into the playoffs, 755 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 1: even if the offense doesn't figure things out on their 756 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: side of the football, if the offense doesn't see an 757 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 1: uptake or get back to where they were, how far 758 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: can this defense take you? You're crazy, man. I like you, 759 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 1: I like Czy, but you crazy. Then we get through 760 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: this season, they get through the season, but playoffs don't 761 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 1: have any hopes. You don't think they can win a 762 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 1: playoff game? For you? No? Why is that? It's the playoffs? 763 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: Then you're gonna get everybody's best. Even if even if 764 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 1: you don't get team's best, most teams are gonna be healthy, 765 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: and even teams that are not clicking healthy, healthy when 766 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 1: they're When they're healthy, they're gonna put up points. They're 767 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,239 Speaker 1: gonna put up points. Why are you looking over at me? 768 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 1: You got my answer is who are you playing? I mean, 769 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: like you know, because they're playing three teams out of 770 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,879 Speaker 1: four that are struggling offensively this year. The Cardinals are not. 771 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 1: So I think asking the defense to just carry the 772 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,919 Speaker 1: day against Arizona is going to be difficult. And yeah, 773 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 1: Isa is right, you get in the playoffs and right now, 774 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: I think if the playoffs started today, it'd be a 775 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,280 Speaker 1: four or five matchup against the Rams. I mean you'd 776 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 1: be asking a defense to just shut down Matt Stafford 777 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 1: in that offense. And I think they've got to be 778 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 1: more complimentary than they are if they want to go 779 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: where they want to go. I think the Cowboys defense 780 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: could beat at least the six and seven seeds. I mean, 781 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 1: San Francisco is the sixth seed at the moment. I 782 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:47,839 Speaker 1: think they could beat San Francisco. With just Washington, you've 783 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 1: already done it. I think you could beat Washington if 784 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,399 Speaker 1: they're the seventh seed. But if it's anything five and above, no, yeah, 785 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 1: that's not happening. Name off the other Rams, Arizona, Tampa Bay, 786 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 1: Green Bay. No, it's not happening. No, I'm just I'm 787 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: gonna pee on. That depends on who you play. But 788 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 1: they're just some things about last season, and I think 789 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,840 Speaker 1: that it feels so much better about especially where they 790 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 1: are right now on third down. There first in the 791 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,760 Speaker 1: league on third down. It means these guys are getting 792 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 1: off the field. The one thing that happened last year 793 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: when the when the offense turned the ball off, I 794 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 1: don't know what that is categorized, is with if the 795 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 1: offense turned the ball over, is almost automatic that the 796 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: other opposing team's offense was gonna score. They've showed up 797 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,240 Speaker 1: that and that just doesn't lead to one hundred percent 798 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 1: touchdown right for the other team. I just feel like 799 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 1: this defense man, the way that they're clicking, the way 800 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 1: that they're getting these turnovers. Again, whomever they play, if 801 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,399 Speaker 1: they forced turnovers and get the offense the ball back 802 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: in favorable field position, that could lead you to squeak 803 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 1: out some easy wins. But when you're talking about playing 804 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 1: against the Green Bays and Tampa Bays and Arizonas, you're 805 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 1: gonna have to play clean and air free football, and 806 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna need for your offense to put up some points. 807 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 1: Gotta have that breathing room, right, You're gonna have it. 808 00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 1: So all that being said, this defense is showing signs 809 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 1: that they can be special. Oh yeah, so that's encouraging. 810 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: That's kind of where That's kind of where I'm leaning 811 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: toward it, because we've talked about identity change, but still 812 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: at this point, you know, it's not a true identity 813 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 1: change because of what you have on the offensive side 814 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 1: of the football. You you still fully expect and I 815 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,240 Speaker 1: think all four of us, including Chris and including pretty 816 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,800 Speaker 1: much the majority of the people in this building, expect 817 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 1: the offense to figure it out on the final month 818 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 1: beginning of the season. All we talked about is this, 819 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,480 Speaker 1: if this defense can be middle of the road. Yeah, 820 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,240 Speaker 1: if they could be fifteen middle of the road, Oh, 821 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,719 Speaker 1: they could be their twenty third total on defense right now. 822 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: So I mean that's that's not middle of the road yet, 823 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: you know. So there's a lot of work to be desired. 824 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,760 Speaker 1: That's why these last couple of games are so important 825 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 1: for this team, and that's why I think everyone is like, man, 826 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 1: we cannot let up off the pedal. Yes, they had 827 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 1: a great performance versus Washington, but I think that confidence 828 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,279 Speaker 1: going into the end of the season is going to 829 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,960 Speaker 1: be just as important for our defense. Going back to 830 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,359 Speaker 1: when the Giants won the Super Bowl, it was the 831 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 1: defense that carried that, But it was the defense at 832 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: the end of the year that just started smacking teams down. 833 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 1: That that was the reason they were able to go 834 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 1: into Green Bay and get a victory on the road, because, man, 835 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 1: you have some dogs up front. I think we have 836 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 1: the makings of that. You know, we just have to 837 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 1: see that confidence building continue. It was the defense and 838 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 1: then Isaiah stand Back and his great work on special teams. 839 00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,799 Speaker 1: I just think specifically so well for sure, and you 840 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 1: only you look at the offensive line particularly too. I mean, 841 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 1: and the matchups you may see in the playoffs. I 842 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,320 Speaker 1: don't want to go all the way to the playoffs, 843 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 1: but when we talked about the Rams, he talked they 844 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,879 Speaker 1: played the Bucks. Yeah, ridiculous and good point. You want 845 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,839 Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith to get healthy here in the next couple 846 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: of weeks, so that's not a problem in the postseason. 847 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: That's the matchups that I think could really dictate what 848 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,320 Speaker 1: the offense can do once you get in the postseason, 849 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 1: bringing back Connor Williams for h for Aaron Donald, m 850 00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 1: we got we got somebody to put up a man. 851 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 1: That was fun. You see what Aaron Donald did on 852 00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:00,839 Speaker 1: the first playoffs? Oh my god, talk about getting groceries. Yeah, 853 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 1: Kyler mulloy, try to turn around and run it. Who 854 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:07,320 Speaker 1: do you run into? Yeah? Yeah, no, it's this finally, 855 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,920 Speaker 1: finally from as bad as they look, man, the defensive 856 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 1: they played that game without Ramsey not a good sign. 857 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,840 Speaker 1: They're still good. They're gonna Yeah, they're gonna figure it 858 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,840 Speaker 1: out too, and hopefully the Cowboys are right in that conversation. 859 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 1: They're at nine and four. We're gonna figure it out 860 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 1: in tomorrow. Let's talk about how they can do that. 861 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:29,880 Speaker 1: Cowboys offense versus the Giants defense is what we're previewing 862 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 1: tomorrow's matchup. And then, of course we've got to say 863 00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,839 Speaker 1: it with your Chess Friday coming up later in the week, 864 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,879 Speaker 1: we'll have some fun with that as always, But that's 865 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 1: it for us.
