We 18 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: got a lot that we're going to get into today. 19 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: I want to start first with a couple of transactions 20 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: that happened and get some Scoutter reports on some of 21 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: the players at the Cowboys assigned to their practice squad two, 22 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: in particular Tach McKinley Antonio Callaway. What do we know 23 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: about these players? Well, the thing the thing that I 24 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: with with Tack McKinley and coming out of Usela, that 25 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: was the thing that the Cowboys were very, very interested 26 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: in him, and it was kind of debatable where was 27 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: he going to get selected or not, you know, and 28 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: how that was all kind of going down. Um, He's 29 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: an interesting player because he was super active when you 30 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: watched him coming out of college. He was a pass rusher, 31 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: He was a physical player at the point of attack. 32 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: He you know, he had some he had some juice 33 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: to his game. He really did. You watched him player, 34 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: You're like, man, this guy's get getting in after it 35 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: today he goes with dan Quinn Atlanta and all those 36 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: things that kind you know, don't really you know, they don't. 37 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: He doesn't play to the level that he wants that 38 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: you kind of thought he was maybe a little bit 39 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: like what you thought with Taco. You know, you watch 40 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: and you're thinking and you're like, going, Okay, well, this 41 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: guy flashes some some good things. I think McKinley I 42 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: was a better player than Taco myself, just coming out 43 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: of watching him play, you know, and went at UCLA, 44 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: went at Michigan, and then you know, he just kind 45 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,839 Speaker 1: of everywhere he went there was that that that kind 46 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: of that, well can you control him can emotionally? You know, 47 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things about his game that you 48 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: were kind of just you know, the teams were looking into, 49 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: they were having to really dive into, you know, and 50 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 1: you get to important certain point in time where now, 51 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: with your the ability to use the practice squad with 52 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: veteran players, you keep maybe give a guy another chance 53 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: instead of saying, well, I have to commit to this 54 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: guy to be on the fifty three. But I thought 55 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: coming out of UCLA, this guy had a lot of 56 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: ability to rush the pastor. I thought he had a 57 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: lot of ability to be able to play the run, 58 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: you know, and be physical when he had add to. 59 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: And you know, they're in a situation right now where 60 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: they're trying to find some defensive ends that can hold 61 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: that point. You know what what Curse said yesterday I 62 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: thought was really really good. He didn't call out names, 63 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: He's calling out positions. Hey, we got to be better 64 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: at defensive end if you talk about that, because we've 65 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: got to be better at lineback when it comes to filling, 66 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: we gotta be better at corner when it comes to supporting. 67 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: You know, he didn't say players names, but he said 68 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: what they needed to do playing their assignment. So you know, 69 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: you can't you can't expect you know, Charles Haley to 70 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: come walking through that door and save you or any 71 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: you know, any anybody, anybody that's ever played here that's 72 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: been good against the run. That's just not going to happen. See, 73 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: you have to make these moves where you know, dan Quinn, 74 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: the staff can maybe say, well, with Tack, this is 75 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: what we kind of had with him in Atlanta. You know, 76 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: maybe maybe he's you know, maybe he's better than than 77 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: what you have, what you have right now that you're 78 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: playing with, and you can work with that and then 79 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: make that part of, you know, part of your rotation. 80 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: But it's it's a move that just you're kind of 81 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: just looking, you're looking for you know, it's it's probably 82 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: not going to solve your issues totally, but at least 83 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: it's you're trying to find guys that can can play 84 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: that way. Nick I remembered, I think it was yesterday 85 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: you were talking about the defensive end position. You were like, 86 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: I just have a feeling, and you preface it with 87 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: that it's not something I'm hearing, but I'm having a 88 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: feeling that one of these guys is gonna get washed 89 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: out and then this happens. And obviously he was signed 90 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: a practice class. That doesn't mean that he's necessarily moving 91 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: into someone the spot. But who becomes the person that 92 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: has to now start maybe thinking about looking over their 93 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: shoulder if he if he can be a better fit 94 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: for them again and against the run, Well, they don't 95 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: have that many. I mean, they don't have a need 96 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: for all of these guys. And those guys are I mean, 97 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: if you're a veteran defensive end who's not making a 98 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: lot of plays Dante Fowler, Yeah, bash him, Yeah, I mean, 99 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: and I mean making plays for the Cowboys, because some 100 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: of them make plays for the other teams. But I'm 101 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: talking about making plays for your your team. If you're 102 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: not doing that on a regular basis, then yeah, I 103 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: think you should. You should, you know, and not technically 104 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: it's just like like Bryan said, it's just a look. 105 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: See that's that is what that's the best thing that's 106 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: come out of twenty out of the COVID twenty twenty 107 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: rules and all. That is how they do the practice squad. 108 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: It lets guys like that have a shot to get 109 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: back in the league and improve themselves at a know, 110 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: a minimum cost. And also it's the way they elevate. 111 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: They just elevate on game day and then bring them 112 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: back down. And well, well, I'm sorry, I was just 113 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: gonna say, I need to get past the point of 114 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: like the old mentality of when Jason Garrett was still 115 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: here and that type of team and what they did, 116 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: because I find myself being like, well, they wouldn't do that. 117 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: But it's like, no, okay, we've seen things that Mike 118 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: McCarthy has done, for example Tristan Hill, and I wasn't 119 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: here when you guys had that discussion, but when I 120 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: saw them news on my phone, I was like, oh wow, 121 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: I wasn't necessarily expecting that kind of move to happen. 122 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: So I'm caught up been this whole thinking of like, 123 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: they wouldn't do this, this is not what they do. 124 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: This is what they do. But it's like, Okay, move 125 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: past that, and now you realize or I need to 126 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: start learning now Mike McCarthy's move mentality, the things that 127 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: he does do because we sit here and we talk 128 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: about certain things, and then he's shown that he's not 129 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: necessarily afraid to make certain calls or move in mid season. 130 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: So it's interesting and very refreshing actually to see those kinds. 131 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: It's not huge, but at least trying to make no 132 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: type of change. I think you're absolutely right. I think 133 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: this started with Jalen Smith. To be honest with you, 134 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: when when dan Quinn, you know, for so many years, 135 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: and you're right, Ambar, it was no, we like Jalen, 136 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: Jalen guy, this our guy. Yeah. Coaches get in that 137 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: mode of that mindset where they're like, no, no, we 138 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: like this guy, we like you know, he could play. 139 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: It really took dan Quinn coming in here and saying, 140 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: why is Jalen Smith on this team? You know, I 141 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: can't use him like I want to use him, you know, 142 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, now you know people in 143 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: the front officers like, okay, Tristan Hill, well, why is 144 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: Tristan Hill here? Well, I can't use him like I 145 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: want to use him. Okay, Well, then move on see 146 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: that's I think you're absolutely right. It's the mentality now 147 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: is like listen, we don't have time to wait for you. 148 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it looks what's going on at receiver right now. 149 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: We've done shows and radio shows talking about Odell Beckham. 150 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: You know it's it's not like, oh no, they'll tell you, yeah, 151 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: we love our receivers until all of a sudden, all 152 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: the receivers start playing and you're not getting exactly everything 153 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: you want out of the position. Okay, we need to go. 154 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: That part of it is very refreshing that they're not 155 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: just going to sit there and say, oh no, this 156 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: is this is fine. You know, they realize they have 157 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: an issue with the running game or defending the running game. 158 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: They realize that, and there, you know, is like I say, 159 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: can you make enough moves? They try to make a 160 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: move with Hankins to give them a bigger inside presence 161 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: to go with Bohana and those guys. Good for you. 162 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: It helps because you can see some stuff going on 163 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: now again. You know we have to you have to 164 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: play the right scheme and go the right way and 165 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: do all that stuff if you know they're asking you 166 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: to do those things. But to me, it's it's it's 167 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: very refreshing that they're just not going to sit there 168 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: and hope that it's gonna fix itself. Let's add some 169 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: pieces to this and see if that piece. And to 170 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: Nick's point, Nick's not calling out uh, you know, Fowler 171 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: and bash him and those guys. He's just Tania honestly though. Hey, 172 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: they've got to step up their game too. You know, 173 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: if you want to be on the fifty three, there's 174 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: expectations here of getting of trying to win this division, 175 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: going in the playoffs, going further. We can't just you 176 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: just can't be a guy that's like Parcels used to say, 177 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: just riding the bus, you know, hanging out and it's 178 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: you know, a strap just waiting around holding on. You know, 179 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: too many guys that are not big defensive ends that 180 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: like to rush the passer, that don't hold the edge 181 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: and it starts and Mica is one of them, and 182 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 1: Sam Williams is another. And those guys are going to 183 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 1: be here obviously, obviously, and they should be. But I 184 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: might be the guy that plays a little more right 185 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: and and you know, if you're gonna you know, some 186 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: size in there that conside inside play it play some end, 187 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: traditional end, you know, or maybe Anthony Barr if he 188 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: gets back. I don't know, he's I don't know he 189 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: helps the problem or not, but something's got to give. 190 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: You're just throwing a bunch of stuff at the wall, 191 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: and you know it's probably not all gonna stick. Now, 192 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 1: we we all have been kind of listening to the 193 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: talk of Odell Beckham Junior and that yesterday the Cowboys 194 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: signed Antonio Callaway to the practice squad. Were you at 195 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: all shocked by that, knowing that they got James Washington, 196 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: who we think should be ready at some point here soon. 197 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: Is it all at all shocking that they would go 198 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: out and and add another veteran to the practice squad 199 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: under those circumstances, or was this just a situation where 200 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 1: they just need more depth. They need more bodies, need 201 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: some depth, need some bodies, and need need some guys 202 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 1: that that have played it. I mean, you know, for 203 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: Hoko still on IR, I mean, he's just it's just 204 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: throwing stuff out there, and and and maybe you know, 205 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: if he gets ready to play, they trust him more 206 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: than who else they have on the pro I mean 207 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: likes and Drummond. Yeah, he's a veteran. You have to 208 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: keep an eye. And Michael Gilla got back in the 209 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: game and he finished the game. But when that happened, 210 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 1: you know, you're like, oh crap, what's gonna happen here. 211 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: You're already kind of don't have many guys to begin with, 212 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: so I'll be curious to see what happened. I mean, 213 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: if he's back, I don't even know which leg was 214 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: it that he didn't kind of bang up. I don't 215 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: even remember he was back before. Yeah, yeah, he was 216 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: back in. It was fine. But it's just something to 217 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: keep an eye on as well. And when you look 218 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: at contracts and all that, I mean, signing a guy 219 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: like cam versus Odell, it's very very different. So I 220 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: would have, you know, you find somebody that can kind 221 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: of add some depth in there and help you out. 222 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: But yeah, if you lose Michael Gallub right now, I 223 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: don't know what the heck you do. Yeah, I think 224 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: that's I think that to me, the Washington and Beckham 225 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: is tied together. I believe I said that's last week 226 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: that if they go and get Beckham, then maybe they 227 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: don't have to hurry Washington into the mix as quickly 228 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: as they might need to. But if they don't get Beckham, 229 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: now they've protected themselves. They've got Washington. We'll see what 230 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: happens with drum Drummond and Houston. And then you know, 231 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: also with Callaway. Callawe was a guy that was a 232 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: very talented player coming out of Florida. He just got 233 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: caught in some really bad situations. It was a credit 234 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: card scam at Florida that caused them some problems. There 235 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: were some some suspensions, yeah, off the field stuff that 236 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: people are kind of like going, huh, okay, well maybe 237 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: we'll have this guy off the board. But that was 238 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: several years ago. So now you're in a situation where 239 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: you know, you look at a guy that's he's got 240 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: the measurables, he's got the speed, and you're like, well, 241 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: let's let's take a chance on this. Let's take a 242 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: chance on a guy that you know that we we 243 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 1: lights coming out of college. He's been kind of bouncing 244 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: around a little bit. And it's again like Nick's talking about, 245 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: it's the practice squad. It's it's minimal, it's minimal payment, 246 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: it's it's not a fifty three man roster spot. And 247 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: if you do something wrong and they don't like you, 248 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: they could just move away from you without ever having 249 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: any issues with And I say this, and obviously you know, 250 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: knowing Brian can speak to this even more. But when 251 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: you do the draft process and you have all of 252 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: these scouts that do these extensive research on players, it's 253 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: not just for the ten guys you're going to draft 254 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: and then twelve guys you bring on free agency. It's 255 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: when three or four years down the road, when McKinley 256 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: and Callaway don't pan out, you go back to your 257 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: notes and say, all right, Brian brought us, what did 258 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: you think about this guy back then, and what has 259 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: changed or what it is? He's still the same guy. 260 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: And and that's why you do all this stuff. And 261 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: that's why we do the draft show, because you guys 262 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: know these guys. It's you're only a few years removed. 263 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: Oh see this. I mean if you talk about just 264 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: the skill level of what you get with Callaway, I mean, 265 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: this is a very natural player. Effortless I think was 266 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: the words. So you know that we've used to talk 267 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,599 Speaker 1: about him the way he was moved, there was a 268 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: smoothness to his game and all that. Again, it was 269 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: five six years ago. But but that's that's kind of 270 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: Nick's right. You go back and you're saying, listen, we 271 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: really weren't too high on this guy. Manu of fact, 272 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: we probably had him off the board. But you know, hey, 273 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: we've got a situation at wide receiver right now. And 274 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: that's what the practice squads doing. We're testing guys out 275 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: to see if they're better than you know, are they 276 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: better than the other two practice squad guys we have, 277 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: or are they better than say your fifth receiver or 278 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: sixth receivers that's playing in these games every week. All right, 279 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna take our first break and we come back. 280 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 1: We're gonna launch into our breakdown of the Minnesota Vikings 281 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: versus Dallas Cowboys.

Yeah, and I'm the twelfth? Yeah, 359 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: and was eight? Two crusty guys voided, I will not 360 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: say my age, but eighth. What's it's like, you guys 361 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: talking about that? We're all hitting like those milestones. Yeah, 362 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: big numbers here or so? Is it a big number 363 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: for you than? Are you third? No, I'm twenty twenty, Yes, 364 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: twenty one. Now I can drink bile. I'm turning twenty one. 365 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: What you do when you get to that age, you 366 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: just say, I'm celebrating my twenty first anniverse, the anniversary 367 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: of my twenty first birthday. Like, just stick with twenty one, 368 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: you can stick there. All right, Let's let's dump in. 369 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: Minnesota offense versus Dallas defense were really young when you 370 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,239 Speaker 1: started with us. Just keep it on stuff to make 371 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: me more than pressed. Yeah, all right, look at this. 372 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: You look at this. You look at this, This Vikings offense. 373 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: And Nick didn't do it yesterday. Huh he did? He did. 374 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: Jefferson's gonna catch it, and Feeland's gonna run routes, and 375 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: Cook's gonna run it. And when he gets tired, Madison's 376 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: gonna come in and he's gonna run it. And since 377 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: it's not a primetime game, Kirk Cousins is probably gonna 378 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: play pretty well. And then you're gonna hear that horn. 379 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: And when you hear that horn, you usually something bad. 380 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: That's bad. Thing is bad. Okay, So, Brian, here's my 381 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,959 Speaker 1: question for you. Attack ed Ingram. That's all he forgot 382 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: right there. The right guard, No, but go ahead. The 383 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 1: pass defense defense, pass offense and the rush offense both 384 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: are good, right, which one do you think is better. Uh. 385 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna say the way they run the 386 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: football because what to me it really, man, I don't know. 387 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 1: I say, run the ball pass offense because of the 388 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: receivers they have with now the tight end and you 389 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: can even include kJ Osborne in that group with feeling, 390 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,719 Speaker 1: and then they're deep in the wide receiver. Yeah, they 391 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: really are. They're hard to cover and you know, but 392 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: this guy will throw you some ball sometimes you just 393 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: gotta be ready for it. You gotta be ready for 394 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: him to make mistakes. I think what they do running 395 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: the ball kind of scares not just because it's the Cowboys, 396 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: because I'm always scared of teams that have the ability. 397 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: And this back is both these backs they were single 398 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: digit numbers one Wars four, one WARS two, and they 399 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: look like the same guy playing. You know. It's but 400 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 1: with Cook you get this attack the line and then 401 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: if it's kind of muddy or not clean, he bounces 402 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: it and so now you're like, you got all these 403 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,239 Speaker 1: bodies trying to stop a run and then he just 404 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: bounces the ball to the outside and now it's you know, 405 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: it's a instead of a gain of one, it's a 406 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: gain of seven or eight because he's able to bounce 407 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: the ball, you know. And it's both these backs, they're 408 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 1: just they're both very physical. They're downhill players. I think 409 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: that if you the thing the problem is when they 410 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: throw the ball is they do a great job. This 411 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: coach and you know, and and hey, I love Mike Zimmer. 412 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: You know, Mike and I worked together. We all worked 413 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: with Mike Zimmer. We all know Mike Zimmer. And I 414 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: think Kevin O'Connell coming in here, though, has given this 415 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: offense a totally different look. And I mean when you 416 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: start to talk about the combinations of routes and stuff, 417 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: the crossers, the you know, the rub routes, the things 418 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: that you know that that's I'm envious, I really am it. 419 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: So that rams attack where they're bringing guys across the field. 420 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: There's deep routes, there's there's combinations with with tight bunch 421 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: formations and scattering. What happened with the Cowboys last week 422 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: in that game, you know, the tight formation all of 423 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: a sudden, it's like, you know, the receivers on the 424 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: nickel and now it's across the field for a touchdown 425 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: right there, and you know, so they're gonna have their 426 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: hands full, they're gonna have their hands full of playing 427 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 1: pass defense. This just justin jeff'son me personally, I being 428 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: an LSU guy, I thought Chase was better than Jeff 429 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: I really really did, And to this day, I still 430 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: Jefferson has just elevated his game to a whole other level. 431 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: But you know, he had a bad game. He had 432 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: one of his worst career stat games against the Cowboys 433 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: last year. And then you know, if you're if it's 434 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: digs or whatever whatever, that game plan was to take 435 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: care of him, kind of dust that went off and 436 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: bring it back. But I mean the thing with Kevin O'Connell, 437 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: he's a different kind of play caller, and I think 438 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: that's the problems you run into. But you know, the 439 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: running game will be a problem too because of this. 440 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: The way these two backs are, where's their weakness. If 441 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: you catch him on that, if you catch them up front, 442 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: then there's there an LSU guys starting at right guard 443 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: for him at Ingram is starting for him at guard, 444 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 1: and he's the guy that tends to kind of struggle 445 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: a little bit, uh, you know, because of his lack 446 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: of experience. He's kind of a He's a powerful guy, 447 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: but there's a little bit of that. You can see him. 448 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: He get over the tops of his skis, gets a 449 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: little top heavy. You know, you could work around him. Um, 450 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:02,719 Speaker 1: the we'll see what happens. Christian Darsaul is really good, 451 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: but he's on the injured list right now. I think 452 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: he's in the concussion protocol. If he can't line up 453 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: at play with that would be a big loss because 454 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: that's the left tackle. So the left tackle, if he's out, 455 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: keep an eye on that. And if you're going to 456 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: attack a spot, I believe it's the right guard at 457 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: ingram Is because the rookie, he just doesn't he just 458 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: doesn't have the feel yet for how rushers work him. 459 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: You know, he'll get that experience there for sure. It's 460 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: not fun. It's not fun to watch. No, it's not 461 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 1: fun to watch. If you're if you're a Viking fan, 462 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: you should be excited about your offense. Now. Okay, on 463 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, though, we're real quick 464 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: here though. We'll see what happens with Zadarius Smith. He's 465 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: on their injured list. Him and Daniel Hunter, the two 466 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: defensive ends are good players. They stand up, they're kind 467 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: of like what Mica does they rush standing up, They'll 468 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: put their hand down. But both of these guys have 469 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: a really good feel for how to attack. But you know, 470 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: teams have moved the ball on the vikings. They give 471 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: up yards, they do. They give up some plays. I'm 472 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: gonna say this too. They got a rookie corner starting 473 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: for him, a Caleb Evans, and he really had a 474 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: problem last week against Digs, you know. I mean, you 475 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: can run routes on him, you can get open on him. 476 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: And Patrick Peterson. This team is really they're second in 477 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: the league in turnovers. They think they got eighteen, but 478 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: they do a good job. Again, they turn the ball, 479 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: they get turnovers and stuff like that. But there's a 480 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: couple of varias you can attack. I think you can 481 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 1: attack the corner Evans, and I think Patrick Peterson at 482 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: times you can spin him around. I think he gets 483 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 1: he's a little bit more of a guesser now with 484 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: the routes and stuff. He's trying to guess where the 485 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: routes are gonna go. He's not as you know, he 486 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 1: was like a shut down guy at one time. I 487 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: think there's a little bit of some you know, a 488 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: little bit of slippage in his play, so to me, 489 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: the cornerbacks and in Harrison Smith. You know, Harrison Smith 490 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: is a safety, has been an All Pro for a 491 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: lot of years. It's starting to show though. The wear 492 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: and tear on him is is pretty evident there. So 493 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: maybe the tight ends could get a little more involved. 494 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,719 Speaker 1: So this will be a game that defending their offense 495 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 1: could be very much a problem. But they're gonna have 496 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: some problems having to defend you as well, So keep 497 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: an eye on both those. When you look at their 498 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: offensive production, the Miami game stands out to me. At 499 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: the point when they didn't have a lot of production, 500 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: they are under Miami covering under the yards, passing hundred 501 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,719 Speaker 1: fifty six. Even in the Philadelphia and Washington games they 502 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: had a hard time running the ball. They did. What 503 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: happened in those three games, particularly, what will those defenses 504 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 1: able to do to link Washington. We all know firsthand 505 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: Washington will not let you run the football. Okay, Miami, 506 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: it was like nine thousand degrees in that game. It 507 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: was one of those early season games and they got 508 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: within a war down and I think what happened. Miami's 509 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: really good on the outside at corner covering. Yeah, Miami's 510 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 1: got some big inside guys too that kind of make 511 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: it make it a little bit of a problem for 512 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: you to run. But the both games though, the Commanders 513 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: game and then and then the also the game that 514 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: I saw against the Dolphins. Both teams tackled really really 515 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: well in that game. I mean both, I mean they 516 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: both times the Dolphins. I mean they did not give 517 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 1: They did not give these receivers any space. I went 518 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 1: back and I was watching that game, and I'm thinking, like, man, 519 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: this is not as good as what you thought at Philadelphia. 520 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 1: Know I didn't see the Philadelphia gave, but we know 521 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: Philadelphia has a really good secondary, you know, so if 522 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: you get up on these guys, press them a little bit, 523 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 1: you know, harass them a little bit. We saw last 524 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: week though, in the Buffalo game. This guy's capable of 525 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 1: making catches, you know. But all that Buffalo defender had 526 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: to do was not a fourth down in sixteen, was 527 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: knocked the ball away, not try and intercept it, and 528 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: then the game's over, you know. But they try for 529 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: the interception and Jefferson's comes down with the ball. But 530 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: these teams that have these really good secondaries and are 531 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: able to play the run, you know, kind of do 532 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: a much better job against them. Yesterday day, Ron Curse 533 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: and Neville Gallimore both spoke to the media No Patrick 534 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: talk specifically to Neville Gallimore, Patrick Walker Dallas Cowboys dot Com, 535 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: and both of them kind of agree and talked a 536 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: lot about how they think that the fixing that fixing 537 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,360 Speaker 1: the run defense for them is about focus. It's about urgency. 538 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: It's about everybody doing their jobs. Do you guys agree 539 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: that it's that simple? It really is. You got the 540 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: right personnel in place, they just need to be more 541 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: focused on doing their jobs rather than being heroes. And 542 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 1: do you think that's the right answer. Yeah, I mean 543 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: I think it's it's a scheme though. It's it's it's 544 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: got to it's a commitment to stop in the run 545 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: and not getting yourself out of position and looking for 546 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,439 Speaker 1: the big plays on the outside. I mean, it's it's 547 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 1: got to be the players too. The players have to 548 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: buy in. They have to say, all right, we've got 549 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: to stop this run. If we can stop this run, 550 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: then we can do that. I mean, you have to. 551 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: You know, it's this is eating the vegetable so you 552 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: can eat something afterwards. I mean, this is what you 553 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: have to do to do that, and they're not. They're 554 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: not right now, they're trying to make all these plays. 555 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 1: They're going around blocks, and this starts from the very 556 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: top of the defensive players on that list to the 557 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: bottom all of them. Yeah, absolutely right there. I mean 558 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: to me, it's you know, it's great, as Micah Parsons is. 559 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: You can't run around this these blocks in this league 560 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: and expect to make plays. You know, maybe you get 561 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 1: away with it when you're playing Indiana and Northwestern and 562 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: you know those people, but you can't do that and 563 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: these not with these backs. Not with these backs, you 564 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: run around blocks, you go behind guys that just that 565 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: just you know, angles and all that stuff. But I 566 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: think that I think Curse is absolutely right. I love 567 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: what he said yesterday. He went in that was a 568 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,239 Speaker 1: he had a purpose with how he figured out how 569 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 1: to you know, talk into the media. What you know. 570 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: It wasn't calling out teammates, it was calling out position groups. 571 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: He was saying, Hey, we're not very good at defensive 572 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: end because we're getting hooked. You know, We're not very 573 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: good at linebacker because we're not shooting the gap when 574 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: we're supposed to. We're not doing a good enough job 575 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: at safety and corner and filling when we need to fill. 576 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: I mean, he basically he laid it out for you 577 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: the problems that they have. And to Nick's point is 578 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: when you're told to run an assignment like I was 579 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: talking about last week. You know, I learned something yesterday 580 00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: about the situation. You know, I thought they were running 581 00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: a double twist stunt on the long Jones run that 582 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: went for the touchdown. No, it's a defensive tackle, has 583 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: to be. They're all slant right. It wasn't a double twist. 584 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: It was slant right. And that's what happens if you 585 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: don't slant, if you go the wrong way, it leaves 586 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: a huge hole. That's your responsibility. Know your assignment, execute 587 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: your assignment. That's how you play run defense. You know, effort, assignment, 588 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: and finish. Those are all things involved. And you can't 589 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: have just one of them. You got to have all 590 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: three of them to be good. And I think that's 591 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: what Curse was. And and I didn't hear Neville, but 592 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,719 Speaker 1: I heard Curse. That's what he's pointing out. We have 593 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: to be better at playing our assignments. And then figuring 594 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: out a way to finish when we get an opportunity. Well, 595 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: glad amer I was gonna say that what they both said. 596 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds simple enough and easy enough, But 597 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: is it I don't think so, because this is nothing new. 598 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: They've been struggling with this since week one, even last year, 599 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: going back to last year. So yes, it wasn't necessarily 600 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: hurting them because they were winning games. But now it's 601 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: to the point where okay, now it really is hurting them. 602 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: They don't seem to find the right answer because it's like, yes, 603 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: everybody do their job, and what really really concerns me 604 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: here and I hope we'll see what the term what 605 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: happens this weekend, but it's can't we get to that 606 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: point where now we're just finger pointing at each other 607 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: and now you're creating some kind of division within the 608 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: locker room and we know how that can become like 609 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: and it just goes downhill from there. I don't think 610 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: they're there at this point. I think this is a 611 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: very tight group, competitive and they'll try their best for 612 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: the better of the group, but you do have to 613 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: kind of take a step back and just make sure everybody, 614 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: like all of y'all have been saying, and what they 615 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: were saying, just do your job, you know, don't try 616 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: to go extra because you know, do too much. Just 617 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,959 Speaker 1: focus on what you have to do. And something you mentioned, 618 00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: I think it was when you were talking about the 619 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers their defense, I'm pretty sure, but it 620 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: was something that just made me think. You were saying 621 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: how the coach the coordinator likes to keep everybody at 622 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: their position, not really travel guys and move them around, 623 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: and you mentioned how the Cowboys can do that, however, 624 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: and I was thinking about that just back there. I'm like, oh, well, 625 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: that means the Cowboys defense is pretty good because then 626 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: they can follow and not get too confused and you know, 627 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: just be more creative and what they're doing and confuse 628 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: people a little bit. But then now I'm going back 629 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: to can they be that or do you need to 630 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: take a step back and try to kind of quote 631 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: unquote simplify things a little bit and just make sure 632 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: you just literally go back to basics and do what 633 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: you have to do at your position. Yeah, And I 634 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 1: think the thing that fans have to hope for is 635 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: that their pride kicks in a little bit now you're saying, 636 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: will they be willing to do this? They got embarrassed 637 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: last week, and it's all over everything. Everybody is talking 638 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: about this defense that was supposed to be so great, 639 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: and so, you know, one of the best in the league, 640 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: you know, approaching real great things as a defensive unit, 641 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: and now everybody's like, I don't know, like they can't 642 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: stop the run. They got embarrassed last week, and so 643 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: if you're a Cowboys fan, you gotta hope that their 644 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: pride kicks in and they're like, whatever we gotta do 645 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: to not have that being what is said of us. 646 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: That's what I'm willing to do. If that means I'm 647 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: not gonna get the sack because I'm gonna stay in 648 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: this gap, and I'm just gonna stay in this gap, 649 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: that means I'm gonna hold this edge, and that means 650 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: i won't get up field, but I'm gonna hold this edge. 651 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: That's what you gotta hope is that their pride kicks 652 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: in at this point, because I don't I think these 653 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: are good players, and if you have good players that 654 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: are committed to their assignment, I think you can do 655 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: what you need to do. They may never be great 656 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: at stopping the run.

Real quick, we have 723 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: a few more minutes left in the show. Question for 724 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 1: you guys about Dak, how if right now I ask you, 725 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: how would you characterize Dak's season so far? What would 726 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 1: you say? Average? It's two and two as a starter, 727 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: and you know, he played really bad in the first loss, 728 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 1: and uh he was he was okay against Detroit, but 729 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 1: the defense kind of bailed him out, and then they 730 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 1: looked worse than the game looked, you know, worse than 731 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: it was. And then then I think he played okay, 732 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 1: and they played really good against the Bears, I mean 733 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: really good and not okay. He was really really good 734 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 1: against the Bears and the reason why they blew them 735 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 1: out because they kept scoring. And then he was just 736 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: okay against Screen Bay made some good plays, but made 737 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,839 Speaker 1: some for the Packers as well. So right now, say's average. Yeah, 738 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 1: I think Nick has nailed it right on the head. 739 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 1: You know, to me that we've talked about it as 740 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: bunge on this platform we have here that throwing the 741 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,279 Speaker 1: ball forty some odd times is not a great thing 742 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: for Dak Prescott, you know, And I personally feel like 743 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 1: that if Zeke would have played that game, and they 744 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: probably would have had a different game plan. You know, 745 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 1: with a fourteen point lead, you probably might have seen 746 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,319 Speaker 1: a little bit more Zeke for three, Zeke for four, 747 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: Zeke for four, Zeke for three, Tony for eighteen. You know, 748 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: I think you'd have seen a little bit more of that, 749 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 1: you know, and you just you know, it's it's there's 750 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on him. You know, there's a 751 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 1: lot of pressure on him to deliver. You know. We 752 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: had Stephen A. Smith on from ESPN. He was on 753 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: station on one oh five three this morning and talking 754 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 1: about you know, hey, they built a good team around 755 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 1: this guy. This is on him. It's on if this 756 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 1: team is going to have success in the seasonal and 757 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: playoffs and Super Bowl. He's capable, and I agree with 758 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 1: him on that. He just has to be more consistent. 759 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: You know, he just can't have the seventeen play brilliant 760 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: drives of just bam bam bam bam down the field 761 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: every throw, and then the next time go two straight, 762 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 1: three straight series of three and outs and you know, 763 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: have two three bad throws or turn the ball over, 764 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,280 Speaker 1: you know, and not all the turnovers are his fault. 765 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: But I agree with Nick, it's just there's just it's 766 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: just as it's so inconsistent right now that you kind 767 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 1: of like you want to get excited and then two 768 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 1: or three things happen the next series that you're kind 769 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,320 Speaker 1: of like going to a Well, he's just not capable 770 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 1: of playing any better, And you know, that's kind of 771 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 1: what we are right now. Yeah, I agree with both 772 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,719 Speaker 1: of them. But if I was killing Moore, if I'm 773 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 1: kelling Moore, I'm trying to figure out how do I 774 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: get Dak to have a better start? I think, and 775 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 1: we see it with a few exceptions, you know, and 776 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 1: you look at through his career, I think that has 777 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 1: been a persistent problem where he becomes a better player 778 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: in the second half of the game. But how can 779 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 1: we figure out for him to because if they get 780 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 1: off to a good start. I think they have way 781 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: better chances of winning games, especially with these all these 782 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 1: close games. You're taking a lead and protect the ball, 783 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: don't take chances on throws that you don't need to throw. 784 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: But then just and I don't know the answer here. 785 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 1: I don't know how you get him. How do you 786 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: get the player If he's better, I agree, if he's 787 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 1: better in the second half, give him more opportunities in 788 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,920 Speaker 1: the second half, and by doing that, lean on your defense, 789 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 1: even though your defense is having trouble stopping the run 790 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. I would kick off to start, 791 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: if you win the toss, kick off. Two of the 792 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 1: three games that they they tried to go and be 793 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:38,320 Speaker 1: very aggressive. In the Detroit game that backfired. Chicago was 794 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,360 Speaker 1: a situation where they scored on the first four possessions 795 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 1: of the game, and then in Green Bay you're thinking, well, 796 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:45,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna you know, we're gonna take the ball and 797 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna drive it, and that doesn't work out very well. 798 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'd rather not have him start at the 799 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: twenty five yard line and then and then try to 800 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,959 Speaker 1: drive it with the crowd the way it is, that crowd, 801 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,200 Speaker 1: we see it all the time. They know everybody thinks 802 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 1: halftimes thirty minutes like high school, and it's not. And 803 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 1: by the time you get back into your seat, it 804 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,439 Speaker 1: is dead as a doornail. In the third quarter, take 805 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: the ball in the dome stadium like that when everyone's 806 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 1: still not back in your seat, and go drive it down. 807 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 1: But to start the game, towels are waving and all 808 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:16,839 Speaker 1: that kind of crap. And then you're gonna get three 809 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 1: and out and you punt it towards midfield, and then 810 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: now they're going in. If you win the toss, kick 811 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,879 Speaker 1: it off and see if your defense can stop them. 812 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 1: And if you do, turp In maybe makes a play. 813 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,319 Speaker 1: Now you're starting at the forty forty five yard line 814 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: and you can go in. Did you say this the 815 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 1: other day? I think you did that, and over time 816 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 1: you would have taken the wind. I would have you 817 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 1: mentioned it to me. You mentioned it to me before 818 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 1: they made the decision. You say it, I think I 819 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,400 Speaker 1: might take the win. And it's not just the wind 820 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 1: and the and whatever. You know, kick it that way. 821 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,879 Speaker 1: It's not just that. The way the rules are set 822 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,799 Speaker 1: up and the way your defense is and the way 823 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers had kind of got him carved up. He 824 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:56,840 Speaker 1: probably was gonna go win it, so that that's probably 825 00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 1: why not. But if it would have been a situation 826 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,840 Speaker 1: where maybe you got something out. I said it in 827 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: New England. I said it the exact same thing in 828 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: New England. I was like, I'm not taking the I've 829 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: taken the wind here and that's what happens. You kick 830 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,880 Speaker 1: it off, Yeah, you stop them. Now all you have 831 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 1: to do is go get a field goal. If they 832 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 1: would have been if they would have won the game. 833 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,800 Speaker 1: I thought about this later. They would have won the 834 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: game with a long touchdown. Especially to CD, that game 835 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: would have been exactly like the Patriots game from the 836 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 1: year before. You're messing around with them, you're better than them, 837 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 1: You've had turnovers in the red zone, you're keeping them 838 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,279 Speaker 1: in the game. They're not really very good, and then 839 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 1: they come back and tie the game, and then you 840 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: get to over time and you stop them and you 841 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,280 Speaker 1: go win with a bad weather and all that minutes 842 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 1: didn't work out. But I think you gotta look at wind, 843 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,480 Speaker 1: and you gotta look at that sometimes. I think that. 844 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: I think, to me that the prospect of and I 845 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,360 Speaker 1: think you're absolutely right. I think the prospect of just 846 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,279 Speaker 1: having to kick a field goal, if you could play 847 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 1: good enough defense the first time, is a great advantage. 848 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,239 Speaker 1: Scoring that initial touchdown is the hard thing, especially for 849 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,239 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, because they're gonna get a holding call along 850 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 1: the way, or somebody's gonna line up off sides, or 851 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,279 Speaker 1: something's gonna happen, you know, along the way. I mean, 852 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 1: it's pretty simple, you know, if you got a good 853 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,719 Speaker 1: enough kicker, it's an advantage to take the win and 854 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 1: kick a fifty yard field goal and get the hell 855 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,800 Speaker 1: out of there, right, you know, then then have to 856 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 1: try and score touchdown on taking the ball. You know, 857 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,239 Speaker 1: it's weird. Wait till you get to the playoffs and 858 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 1: a game goes to overtime and now the rules are different. 859 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: You're gonna see a completely different h It's gonna be 860 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 1: like college a strategy. Teams are not going to take 861 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 1: the ball now. You want to know what you gotta do, right, 862 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 1: So now you want to kickoff for sure, right, and 863 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 1: then make you stop them. Now you'll you do just 864 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 1: kick a field goal and win. So it's going to 865 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 1: be completely different structure, which is another reason why we 866 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 1: were talking about it. You don't make different rules for 867 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,719 Speaker 1: the playoffs now, because there's gonna change the stragg there's 868 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:40,720 Speaker 1: gonna be a team in Week eighteen like that, Raiders 869 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,719 Speaker 1: and Chargers having to play to get in for a time. 870 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 1: They get in the next week and then it's a 871 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 1: completely different you know, that's just stupid. Their playoff to me, 872 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 1: the playoffs start in mid December. Every game is a 873 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,279 Speaker 1: playoff game for about half the league. There you go, 874 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:55,840 Speaker 1: it is going to be for sure this year with 875 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: all that's going on. All right, appreciate you guys, Johns. 876 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 1: We'll be back tomorrow.
