0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:00.440

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 1>those weeks. We've had different people out for different reasons,

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.039
<v Speaker 1>so it's good to have everybody back in studio. We

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:06.679
<v Speaker 1>got a lot that we're going to get into today.

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to start first with a couple of transactions

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 1>that happened and get some Scoutter reports on some of

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:16.399
<v Speaker 1>the players at the Cowboys assigned to their practice squad two,

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:20.399
<v Speaker 1>in particular Tach McKinley Antonio Callaway. What do we know

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.959
<v Speaker 1>about these players? Well, the thing the thing that I

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:28.120
<v Speaker 1>with with Tack McKinley and coming out of Usela, that

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>was the thing that the Cowboys were very, very interested

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 1>in him, and it was kind of debatable where was

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 1>he going to get selected or not, you know, and

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>how that was all kind of going down. Um, He's

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>an interesting player because he was super active when you

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.480
<v Speaker 1>watched him coming out of college. He was a pass rusher,

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.160
<v Speaker 1>He was a physical player at the point of attack.

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>He you know, he had some he had some juice

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>to his game. He really did. You watched him player,

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:55.440
<v Speaker 1>You're like, man, this guy's get getting in after it

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>today he goes with dan Quinn Atlanta and all those

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 1>things that kind you know, don't really you know, they don't.

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't play to the level that he wants that

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 1>you kind of thought he was maybe a little bit

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>like what you thought with Taco. You know, you watch

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 1>and you're thinking and you're like, going, Okay, well, this

0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 1>guy flashes some some good things. I think McKinley I

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>was a better player than Taco myself, just coming out

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>of watching him play, you know, and went at UCLA,

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:23.520
<v Speaker 1>went at Michigan, and then you know, he just kind

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.839
<v Speaker 1>of everywhere he went there was that that that kind

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 1>of that, well can you control him can emotionally? You know,

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.400
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of things about his game that you

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:35.080
<v Speaker 1>were kind of just you know, the teams were looking into,

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>they were having to really dive into, you know, and

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:41.239
<v Speaker 1>you get to important certain point in time where now,

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>with your the ability to use the practice squad with

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 1>veteran players, you keep maybe give a guy another chance

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>instead of saying, well, I have to commit to this

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 1>guy to be on the fifty three. But I thought

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 1>coming out of UCLA, this guy had a lot of

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:55.680
<v Speaker 1>ability to rush the pastor. I thought he had a

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of ability to be able to play the run,

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, and be physical when he had add to.

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>And you know, they're in a situation right now where

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to find some defensive ends that can hold

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.360
<v Speaker 1>that point. You know what what Curse said yesterday I

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>thought was really really good. He didn't call out names,

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 1>He's calling out positions. Hey, we got to be better

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>at defensive end if you talk about that, because we've

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 1>got to be better at lineback when it comes to filling,

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>we gotta be better at corner when it comes to supporting.

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, he didn't say players names, but he said

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>what they needed to do playing their assignment. So you know,

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 1>you can't you can't expect you know, Charles Haley to

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 1>come walking through that door and save you or any

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, any anybody, anybody that's ever played here that's

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 1>been good against the run. That's just not going to happen. See,

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>you have to make these moves where you know, dan Quinn,

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>the staff can maybe say, well, with Tack, this is

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 1>what we kind of had with him in Atlanta. You know,

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe he's you know, maybe he's better than than

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 1>what you have, what you have right now that you're

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 1>playing with, and you can work with that and then

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 1>make that part of, you know, part of your rotation.

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 1>But it's it's a move that just you're kind of

0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>just looking, you're looking for you know, it's it's probably

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 1>not going to solve your issues totally, but at least

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 1>it's you're trying to find guys that can can play

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>that way. Nick I remembered, I think it was yesterday

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>you were talking about the defensive end position. You were like,

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I just have a feeling, and you preface it with

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.840
<v Speaker 1>that it's not something I'm hearing, but I'm having a

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 1>feeling that one of these guys is gonna get washed

0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.920
<v Speaker 1>out and then this happens. And obviously he was signed

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 1>a practice class. That doesn't mean that he's necessarily moving

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.040
<v Speaker 1>into someone the spot. But who becomes the person that

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.840
<v Speaker 1>has to now start maybe thinking about looking over their

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 1>shoulder if he if he can be a better fit

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 1>for them again and against the run, Well, they don't

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:39.360
<v Speaker 1>have that many. I mean, they don't have a need

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 1>for all of these guys. And those guys are I mean,

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.839
<v Speaker 1>if you're a veteran defensive end who's not making a

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:52.039
<v Speaker 1>lot of plays Dante Fowler, Yeah, bash him, Yeah, I mean,

0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 1>and I mean making plays for the Cowboys, because some

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 1>of them make plays for the other teams. But I'm

0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 1>talking about making plays for your your team. If you're

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.640
<v Speaker 1>not doing that on a regular basis, then yeah, I

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.800
<v Speaker 1>think you should. You should, you know, and not technically

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 1>it's just like like Bryan said, it's just a look.

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.400
<v Speaker 1>See that's that is what that's the best thing that's

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 1>come out of twenty out of the COVID twenty twenty

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.599
<v Speaker 1>rules and all. That is how they do the practice squad.

0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>It lets guys like that have a shot to get

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>back in the league and improve themselves at a know,

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 1>a minimum cost. And also it's the way they elevate.

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:27.160
<v Speaker 1>They just elevate on game day and then bring them

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.599
<v Speaker 1>back down. And well, well, I'm sorry, I was just

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna say, I need to get past the point of

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:37.479
<v Speaker 1>like the old mentality of when Jason Garrett was still

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 1>here and that type of team and what they did,

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 1>because I find myself being like, well, they wouldn't do that.

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 1>But it's like, no, okay, we've seen things that Mike

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 1>McCarthy has done, for example Tristan Hill, and I wasn't

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:52.720
<v Speaker 1>here when you guys had that discussion, but when I

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.159
<v Speaker 1>saw them news on my phone, I was like, oh wow,

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't necessarily expecting that kind of move to happen.

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>So I'm caught up been this whole thinking of like,

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 1>they wouldn't do this, this is not what they do.

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 1>This is what they do. But it's like, Okay, move

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>past that, and now you realize or I need to

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>start learning now Mike McCarthy's move mentality, the things that

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.480
<v Speaker 1>he does do because we sit here and we talk

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:23.280
<v Speaker 1>about certain things, and then he's shown that he's not

0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 1>necessarily afraid to make certain calls or move in mid season.

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:31.920
<v Speaker 1>So it's interesting and very refreshing actually to see those kinds.

0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:36.039
<v Speaker 1>It's not huge, but at least trying to make no

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 1>type of change. I think you're absolutely right. I think

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.599
<v Speaker 1>this started with Jalen Smith. To be honest with you,

0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>when when dan Quinn, you know, for so many years,

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.760
<v Speaker 1>and you're right, Ambar, it was no, we like Jalen,

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Jalen guy, this our guy. Yeah. Coaches get in that

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.720
<v Speaker 1>mode of that mindset where they're like, no, no, we

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:54.920
<v Speaker 1>like this guy, we like you know, he could play.

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.400
<v Speaker 1>It really took dan Quinn coming in here and saying,

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 1>why is Jalen Smith on this team? You know, I

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 1>can't use him like I want to use him, you know,

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.160
<v Speaker 1>And all of a sudden, now you know people in

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.360
<v Speaker 1>the front officers like, okay, Tristan Hill, well, why is

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Tristan Hill here? Well, I can't use him like I

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 1>want to use him. Okay, Well, then move on see

0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 1>that's I think you're absolutely right. It's the mentality now

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.000
<v Speaker 1>is like listen, we don't have time to wait for you.

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it looks what's going on at receiver right now.

0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 1>We've done shows and radio shows talking about Odell Beckham.

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 1>You know it's it's not like, oh no, they'll tell you, yeah,

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.240
<v Speaker 1>we love our receivers until all of a sudden, all

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 1>the receivers start playing and you're not getting exactly everything

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.640
<v Speaker 1>you want out of the position. Okay, we need to go.

0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 1>That part of it is very refreshing that they're not

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.560
<v Speaker 1>just going to sit there and say, oh no, this

0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 1>is this is fine. You know, they realize they have

0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 1>an issue with the running game or defending the running game.

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 1>They realize that, and there, you know, is like I say,

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 1>can you make enough moves? They try to make a

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 1>move with Hankins to give them a bigger inside presence

0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 1>to go with Bohana and those guys. Good for you.

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.240
<v Speaker 1>It helps because you can see some stuff going on

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.360
<v Speaker 1>now again. You know we have to you have to

0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 1>play the right scheme and go the right way and

0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 1>do all that stuff if you know they're asking you

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 1>to do those things. But to me, it's it's it's

0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 1>very refreshing that they're just not going to sit there

0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:17.800
<v Speaker 1>and hope that it's gonna fix itself. Let's add some

0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 1>pieces to this and see if that piece. And to

0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Nick's point, Nick's not calling out uh, you know, Fowler

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 1>and bash him and those guys. He's just Tania honestly though. Hey,

0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:31.840
<v Speaker 1>they've got to step up their game too. You know,

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:33.560
<v Speaker 1>if you want to be on the fifty three, there's

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 1>expectations here of getting of trying to win this division,

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.240
<v Speaker 1>going in the playoffs, going further. We can't just you

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 1>just can't be a guy that's like Parcels used to say,

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 1>just riding the bus, you know, hanging out and it's

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, a strap just waiting around holding on. You know,

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:51.320
<v Speaker 1>too many guys that are not big defensive ends that

0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 1>like to rush the passer, that don't hold the edge

0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.440
<v Speaker 1>and it starts and Mica is one of them, and

0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:58.839
<v Speaker 1>Sam Williams is another. And those guys are going to

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:01.719
<v Speaker 1>be here obviously, obviously, and they should be. But I

0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 1>might be the guy that plays a little more right

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.840
<v Speaker 1>and and you know, if you're gonna you know, some

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>size in there that conside inside play it play some end,

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.920
<v Speaker 1>traditional end, you know, or maybe Anthony Barr if he

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.840
<v Speaker 1>gets back. I don't know, he's I don't know he

0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 1>helps the problem or not, but something's got to give.

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:23.920
<v Speaker 1>You're just throwing a bunch of stuff at the wall,

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 1>and you know it's probably not all gonna stick. Now,

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.839
<v Speaker 1>we we all have been kind of listening to the

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:34.720
<v Speaker 1>talk of Odell Beckham Junior and that yesterday the Cowboys

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 1>signed Antonio Callaway to the practice squad. Were you at

0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:41.640
<v Speaker 1>all shocked by that, knowing that they got James Washington,

0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:45.040
<v Speaker 1>who we think should be ready at some point here soon.

0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:47.199
<v Speaker 1>Is it all at all shocking that they would go

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.200
<v Speaker 1>out and and add another veteran to the practice squad

0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.760
<v Speaker 1>under those circumstances, or was this just a situation where

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:55.959
<v Speaker 1>they just need more depth. They need more bodies, need

0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.360
<v Speaker 1>some depth, need some bodies, and need need some guys

0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:00.199
<v Speaker 1>that that have played it. I mean, you know, for

0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Hoko still on IR, I mean, he's just it's just

0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.800
<v Speaker 1>throwing stuff out there, and and and maybe you know,

0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 1>if he gets ready to play, they trust him more

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.440
<v Speaker 1>than who else they have on the pro I mean

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:16.559
<v Speaker 1>likes and Drummond. Yeah, he's a veteran. You have to

0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>keep an eye. And Michael Gilla got back in the

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>game and he finished the game. But when that happened,

0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:25.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, you're like, oh crap, what's gonna happen here.

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.199
<v Speaker 1>You're already kind of don't have many guys to begin with,

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:31.280
<v Speaker 1>so I'll be curious to see what happened. I mean,

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 1>if he's back, I don't even know which leg was

0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 1>it that he didn't kind of bang up. I don't

0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.200
<v Speaker 1>even remember he was back before. Yeah, yeah, he was

0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.680
<v Speaker 1>back in. It was fine. But it's just something to

0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:45.720
<v Speaker 1>keep an eye on as well. And when you look

0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 1>at contracts and all that, I mean, signing a guy

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:54.200
<v Speaker 1>like cam versus Odell, it's very very different. So I

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.120
<v Speaker 1>would have, you know, you find somebody that can kind

0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:58.840
<v Speaker 1>of add some depth in there and help you out.

0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:02.960
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, if you lose Michael Gallub right now, I

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know what the heck you do. Yeah, I think

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:09.960
<v Speaker 1>that's I think that to me, the Washington and Beckham

0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.800
<v Speaker 1>is tied together. I believe I said that's last week

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:17.400
<v Speaker 1>that if they go and get Beckham, then maybe they

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.560
<v Speaker 1>don't have to hurry Washington into the mix as quickly

0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:24.800
<v Speaker 1>as they might need to. But if they don't get Beckham,

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:28.040
<v Speaker 1>now they've protected themselves. They've got Washington. We'll see what

0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 1>happens with drum Drummond and Houston. And then you know,

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.800
<v Speaker 1>also with Callaway. Callawe was a guy that was a

0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:38.440
<v Speaker 1>very talented player coming out of Florida. He just got

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:41.080
<v Speaker 1>caught in some really bad situations. It was a credit

0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:43.800
<v Speaker 1>card scam at Florida that caused them some problems. There

0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:47.600
<v Speaker 1>were some some suspensions, yeah, off the field stuff that

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 1>people are kind of like going, huh, okay, well maybe

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll have this guy off the board. But that was

0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:56.199
<v Speaker 1>several years ago. So now you're in a situation where

0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:58.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, you look at a guy that's he's got

0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.360
<v Speaker 1>the measurables, he's got the speed, and you're like, well,

0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 1>let's let's take a chance on this. Let's take a

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.680
<v Speaker 1>chance on a guy that you know that we we

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.319
<v Speaker 1>lights coming out of college. He's been kind of bouncing

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.960
<v Speaker 1>around a little bit. And it's again like Nick's talking about,

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.640
<v Speaker 1>it's the practice squad. It's it's minimal, it's minimal payment,

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:16.800
<v Speaker 1>it's it's not a fifty three man roster spot. And

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 1>if you do something wrong and they don't like you,

0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.240
<v Speaker 1>they could just move away from you without ever having

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 1>any issues with And I say this, and obviously you know,

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:28.920
<v Speaker 1>knowing Brian can speak to this even more. But when

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 1>you do the draft process and you have all of

0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:35.320
<v Speaker 1>these scouts that do these extensive research on players, it's

0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.240
<v Speaker 1>not just for the ten guys you're going to draft

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.160
<v Speaker 1>and then twelve guys you bring on free agency. It's

0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:42.480
<v Speaker 1>when three or four years down the road, when McKinley

0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.040
<v Speaker 1>and Callaway don't pan out, you go back to your

0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:48.600
<v Speaker 1>notes and say, all right, Brian brought us, what did

0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 1>you think about this guy back then, and what has

0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:52.920
<v Speaker 1>changed or what it is? He's still the same guy.

0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 1>And and that's why you do all this stuff. And

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.560
<v Speaker 1>that's why we do the draft show, because you guys

0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 1>know these guys. It's you're only a few years removed.

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh see this. I mean if you talk about just

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:04.120
<v Speaker 1>the skill level of what you get with Callaway, I mean,

0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.120
<v Speaker 1>this is a very natural player. Effortless I think was

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 1>the words. So you know that we've used to talk

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.599
<v Speaker 1>about him the way he was moved, there was a

0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 1>smoothness to his game and all that. Again, it was

0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.600
<v Speaker 1>five six years ago. But but that's that's kind of

0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Nick's right. You go back and you're saying, listen, we

0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.760
<v Speaker 1>really weren't too high on this guy. Manu of fact,

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.560
<v Speaker 1>we probably had him off the board. But you know, hey,

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.480
<v Speaker 1>we've got a situation at wide receiver right now. And

0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 1>that's what the practice squads doing. We're testing guys out

0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.360
<v Speaker 1>to see if they're better than you know, are they

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:36.880
<v Speaker 1>better than the other two practice squad guys we have,

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.920
<v Speaker 1>or are they better than say your fifth receiver or

0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.360
<v Speaker 1>sixth receivers that's playing in these games every week. All right,

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:43.960
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna take our first break and we come back.

0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.079
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna launch into our breakdown of the Minnesota Vikings

0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 1>versus Dallas Cowboys. Promise we will. We'll do a little

0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.920
<v Speaker 1>offense and defense. We gotta jump around there. You go, Well,

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:55.680

0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:12.840

<v Speaker 1>guy's seventies all the time, just looking like he's not

0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:59.920
<v Speaker 1>seventy three years old. You know what I'm saying. He's

0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.200
<v Speaker 1>he's Yeah, he's the oldest coach in the league. I

0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:04.560
<v Speaker 1>believe we got a lot of our producer Jazz. You

0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.399
<v Speaker 1>said her birthdays coming up here in this Suber twelfth.

0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.159
<v Speaker 1>So everybody, when are you twenty eighth? Okay, you're the

0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:12.639
<v Speaker 1>twenty eighth Mickey, I think it was the day before me.

0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I think you see eleventh. Yeah, and I'm the twelfth? Yeah,

0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:19.000
<v Speaker 1>and was eight? Two crusty guys voided, I will not

0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:23.560
<v Speaker 1>say my age, but eighth. What's it's like, you guys

0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:27.320
<v Speaker 1>talking about that? We're all hitting like those milestones. Yeah,

0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.200
<v Speaker 1>big numbers here or so? Is it a big number

0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:36.800
<v Speaker 1>for you than? Are you third? No, I'm twenty twenty, Yes,

0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:43.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty one. Now I can drink bile. I'm turning twenty one.

0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:44.520
<v Speaker 1>What you do when you get to that age, you

0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:49.119
<v Speaker 1>just say, I'm celebrating my twenty first anniverse, the anniversary

0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.560
<v Speaker 1>of my twenty first birthday. Like, just stick with twenty one,

0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:53.639
<v Speaker 1>you can stick there. All right, Let's let's dump in.

0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota offense versus Dallas defense were really young when you

0:18:56.840 --> 0:19:00.239
<v Speaker 1>started with us. Just keep it on stuff to make

0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:03.760
<v Speaker 1>me more than pressed. Yeah, all right, look at this.

0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.720
<v Speaker 1>You look at this. You look at this, This Vikings offense.

0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:10.520
<v Speaker 1>And Nick didn't do it yesterday. Huh he did? He did.

0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:13.080
<v Speaker 1>Jefferson's gonna catch it, and Feeland's gonna run routes, and

0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Cook's gonna run it. And when he gets tired, Madison's

0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:17.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna come in and he's gonna run it. And since

0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.800
<v Speaker 1>it's not a primetime game, Kirk Cousins is probably gonna

0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:21.880
<v Speaker 1>play pretty well. And then you're gonna hear that horn.

0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:23.720
<v Speaker 1>And when you hear that horn, you usually something bad.

0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:28.680
<v Speaker 1>That's bad. Thing is bad. Okay, So, Brian, here's my

0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:30.959
<v Speaker 1>question for you. Attack ed Ingram. That's all he forgot

0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:33.320
<v Speaker 1>right there. The right guard, No, but go ahead. The

0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:37.640
<v Speaker 1>pass defense defense, pass offense and the rush offense both

0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:43.400
<v Speaker 1>are good, right, which one do you think is better. Uh.

0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:45.119
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm gonna say the way they run the

0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:49.560
<v Speaker 1>football because what to me it really, man, I don't know.

0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:53.159
<v Speaker 1>I say, run the ball pass offense because of the

0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.000
<v Speaker 1>receivers they have with now the tight end and you

0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:59.679
<v Speaker 1>can even include kJ Osborne in that group with feeling,

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:01.719
<v Speaker 1>and then they're deep in the wide receiver. Yeah, they

0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.639
<v Speaker 1>really are. They're hard to cover and you know, but

0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:06.879
<v Speaker 1>this guy will throw you some ball sometimes you just

0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:08.480
<v Speaker 1>gotta be ready for it. You gotta be ready for

0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:11.240
<v Speaker 1>him to make mistakes. I think what they do running

0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:13.639
<v Speaker 1>the ball kind of scares not just because it's the Cowboys,

0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:15.840
<v Speaker 1>because I'm always scared of teams that have the ability.

0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:19.399
<v Speaker 1>And this back is both these backs they were single

0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:21.600
<v Speaker 1>digit numbers one Wars four, one WARS two, and they

0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:24.159
<v Speaker 1>look like the same guy playing. You know. It's but

0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:27.919
<v Speaker 1>with Cook you get this attack the line and then

0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:31.800
<v Speaker 1>if it's kind of muddy or not clean, he bounces

0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:34.600
<v Speaker 1>it and so now you're like, you got all these

0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:38.239
<v Speaker 1>bodies trying to stop a run and then he just

0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 1>bounces the ball to the outside and now it's you know,

0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:43.639
<v Speaker 1>it's a instead of a gain of one, it's a

0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.280
<v Speaker 1>gain of seven or eight because he's able to bounce

0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:50.600
<v Speaker 1>the ball, you know. And it's both these backs, they're

0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:53.880
<v Speaker 1>just they're both very physical. They're downhill players. I think

0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:57.040
<v Speaker 1>that if you the thing the problem is when they

0:20:57.040 --> 0:20:59.520
<v Speaker 1>throw the ball is they do a great job. This

0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:03.080
<v Speaker 1>coach and you know, and and hey, I love Mike Zimmer.

0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:05.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, Mike and I worked together. We all worked

0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:07.480
<v Speaker 1>with Mike Zimmer. We all know Mike Zimmer. And I

0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:10.840
<v Speaker 1>think Kevin O'Connell coming in here, though, has given this

0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:14.920
<v Speaker 1>offense a totally different look. And I mean when you

0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:17.800
<v Speaker 1>start to talk about the combinations of routes and stuff,

0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:22.080
<v Speaker 1>the crossers, the you know, the rub routes, the things

0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:25.600
<v Speaker 1>that you know that that's I'm envious, I really am it.

0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:29.639
<v Speaker 1>So that rams attack where they're bringing guys across the field.

0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:34.560
<v Speaker 1>There's deep routes, there's there's combinations with with tight bunch

0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:37.520
<v Speaker 1>formations and scattering. What happened with the Cowboys last week

0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:40.200
<v Speaker 1>in that game, you know, the tight formation all of

0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:43.800
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, it's like, you know, the receivers on the

0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:47.480
<v Speaker 1>nickel and now it's across the field for a touchdown

0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:50.280
<v Speaker 1>right there, and you know, so they're gonna have their

0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:52.440
<v Speaker 1>hands full, they're gonna have their hands full of playing

0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:56.919
<v Speaker 1>pass defense. This just justin jeff'son me personally, I being

0:21:56.960 --> 0:21:59.960
<v Speaker 1>an LSU guy, I thought Chase was better than Jeff

0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I really really did, And to this day, I still

0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Jefferson has just elevated his game to a whole other level.

0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:08.320
<v Speaker 1>But you know, he had a bad game. He had

0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:12.200
<v Speaker 1>one of his worst career stat games against the Cowboys

0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:15.160
<v Speaker 1>last year. And then you know, if you're if it's

0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:18.520
<v Speaker 1>digs or whatever whatever, that game plan was to take

0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:22.080
<v Speaker 1>care of him, kind of dust that went off and

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:24.680
<v Speaker 1>bring it back. But I mean the thing with Kevin O'Connell,

0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:26.600
<v Speaker 1>he's a different kind of play caller, and I think

0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:29.119
<v Speaker 1>that's the problems you run into. But you know, the

0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:31.040
<v Speaker 1>running game will be a problem too because of this.

0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:34.159
<v Speaker 1>The way these two backs are, where's their weakness. If

0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:36.359
<v Speaker 1>you catch him on that, if you catch them up front,

0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:39.600
<v Speaker 1>then there's there an LSU guys starting at right guard

0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:42.119
<v Speaker 1>for him at Ingram is starting for him at guard,

0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:44.640
<v Speaker 1>and he's the guy that tends to kind of struggle

0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:47.040
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, uh, you know, because of his lack

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.480
<v Speaker 1>of experience. He's kind of a He's a powerful guy,

0:22:49.560 --> 0:22:51.840
<v Speaker 1>but there's a little bit of that. You can see him.

0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:53.639
<v Speaker 1>He get over the tops of his skis, gets a

0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:57.080
<v Speaker 1>little top heavy. You know, you could work around him. Um,

0:22:57.640 --> 0:23:02.719
<v Speaker 1>the we'll see what happens. Christian Darsaul is really good,

0:23:03.000 --> 0:23:05.080
<v Speaker 1>but he's on the injured list right now. I think

0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:08.520
<v Speaker 1>he's in the concussion protocol. If he can't line up

0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:10.359
<v Speaker 1>at play with that would be a big loss because

0:23:10.359 --> 0:23:13.680
<v Speaker 1>that's the left tackle. So the left tackle, if he's out,

0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:15.960
<v Speaker 1>keep an eye on that. And if you're going to

0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:19.000
<v Speaker 1>attack a spot, I believe it's the right guard at

0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:22.000
<v Speaker 1>ingram Is because the rookie, he just doesn't he just

0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:26.840
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have the feel yet for how rushers work him.

0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:31.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, he'll get that experience there for sure. It's

0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:34.760
<v Speaker 1>not fun. It's not fun to watch. No, it's not

0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:37.640
<v Speaker 1>fun to watch. If you're if you're a Viking fan,

0:23:37.760 --> 0:23:40.480
<v Speaker 1>you should be excited about your offense. Now. Okay, on

0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:42.640
<v Speaker 1>the defensive side of the ball, though, we're real quick

0:23:42.680 --> 0:23:46.280
<v Speaker 1>here though. We'll see what happens with Zadarius Smith. He's

0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:49.159
<v Speaker 1>on their injured list. Him and Daniel Hunter, the two

0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:53.000
<v Speaker 1>defensive ends are good players. They stand up, they're kind

0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:56.280
<v Speaker 1>of like what Mica does they rush standing up, They'll

0:23:56.280 --> 0:23:58.639
<v Speaker 1>put their hand down. But both of these guys have

0:23:58.720 --> 0:24:02.040
<v Speaker 1>a really good feel for how to attack. But you know,

0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:04.520
<v Speaker 1>teams have moved the ball on the vikings. They give

0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:06.720
<v Speaker 1>up yards, they do. They give up some plays. I'm

0:24:06.720 --> 0:24:09.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna say this too. They got a rookie corner starting

0:24:09.600 --> 0:24:13.480
<v Speaker 1>for him, a Caleb Evans, and he really had a

0:24:13.520 --> 0:24:16.240
<v Speaker 1>problem last week against Digs, you know. I mean, you

0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:18.760
<v Speaker 1>can run routes on him, you can get open on him.

0:24:18.920 --> 0:24:21.879
<v Speaker 1>And Patrick Peterson. This team is really they're second in

0:24:21.880 --> 0:24:25.240
<v Speaker 1>the league in turnovers. They think they got eighteen, but

0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:28.080
<v Speaker 1>they do a good job. Again, they turn the ball,

0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:30.080
<v Speaker 1>they get turnovers and stuff like that. But there's a

0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:31.800
<v Speaker 1>couple of varias you can attack. I think you can

0:24:31.840 --> 0:24:34.919
<v Speaker 1>attack the corner Evans, and I think Patrick Peterson at

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:37.000
<v Speaker 1>times you can spin him around. I think he gets

0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:39.159
<v Speaker 1>he's a little bit more of a guesser now with

0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:41.439
<v Speaker 1>the routes and stuff. He's trying to guess where the

0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:43.840
<v Speaker 1>routes are gonna go. He's not as you know, he

0:24:43.920 --> 0:24:46.399
<v Speaker 1>was like a shut down guy at one time. I

0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:48.000
<v Speaker 1>think there's a little bit of some you know, a

0:24:48.000 --> 0:24:50.240
<v Speaker 1>little bit of slippage in his play, so to me,

0:24:50.440 --> 0:24:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the cornerbacks and in Harrison Smith. You know, Harrison Smith

0:24:54.080 --> 0:24:55.960
<v Speaker 1>is a safety, has been an All Pro for a

0:24:56.040 --> 0:24:58.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of years. It's starting to show though. The wear

0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:01.560
<v Speaker 1>and tear on him is is pretty evident there. So

0:25:01.640 --> 0:25:03.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe the tight ends could get a little more involved.

0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:06.719
<v Speaker 1>So this will be a game that defending their offense

0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:09.919
<v Speaker 1>could be very much a problem. But they're gonna have

0:25:09.960 --> 0:25:12.600
<v Speaker 1>some problems having to defend you as well, So keep

0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:14.600
<v Speaker 1>an eye on both those. When you look at their

0:25:14.640 --> 0:25:18.040
<v Speaker 1>offensive production, the Miami game stands out to me. At

0:25:18.040 --> 0:25:19.600
<v Speaker 1>the point when they didn't have a lot of production,

0:25:19.640 --> 0:25:22.280
<v Speaker 1>they are under Miami covering under the yards, passing hundred

0:25:22.320 --> 0:25:25.719
<v Speaker 1>fifty six. Even in the Philadelphia and Washington games they

0:25:25.720 --> 0:25:27.639
<v Speaker 1>had a hard time running the ball. They did. What

0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:31.200
<v Speaker 1>happened in those three games, particularly, what will those defenses

0:25:31.240 --> 0:25:34.120
<v Speaker 1>able to do to link Washington. We all know firsthand

0:25:34.119 --> 0:25:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Washington will not let you run the football. Okay, Miami,

0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:39.359
<v Speaker 1>it was like nine thousand degrees in that game. It

0:25:39.400 --> 0:25:41.200
<v Speaker 1>was one of those early season games and they got

0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:43.879
<v Speaker 1>within a war down and I think what happened. Miami's

0:25:43.920 --> 0:25:46.600
<v Speaker 1>really good on the outside at corner covering. Yeah, Miami's

0:25:46.600 --> 0:25:49.400
<v Speaker 1>got some big inside guys too that kind of make

0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:51.119
<v Speaker 1>it make it a little bit of a problem for

0:25:51.160 --> 0:25:54.119
<v Speaker 1>you to run. But the both games though, the Commanders

0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:58.480
<v Speaker 1>game and then and then the also the game that

0:25:58.560 --> 0:26:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I saw against the Dolphins. Both teams tackled really really

0:26:01.840 --> 0:26:03.920
<v Speaker 1>well in that game. I mean both, I mean they

0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:07.080
<v Speaker 1>both times the Dolphins. I mean they did not give

0:26:07.800 --> 0:26:10.640
<v Speaker 1>They did not give these receivers any space. I went

0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:13.160
<v Speaker 1>back and I was watching that game, and I'm thinking, like, man,

0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:16.320
<v Speaker 1>this is not as good as what you thought at Philadelphia.

0:26:16.320 --> 0:26:17.919
<v Speaker 1>Know I didn't see the Philadelphia gave, but we know

0:26:18.000 --> 0:26:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia has a really good secondary, you know, so if

0:26:20.960 --> 0:26:23.720
<v Speaker 1>you get up on these guys, press them a little bit,

0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:26.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, harass them a little bit. We saw last

0:26:26.200 --> 0:26:28.480
<v Speaker 1>week though, in the Buffalo game. This guy's capable of

0:26:28.560 --> 0:26:31.119
<v Speaker 1>making catches, you know. But all that Buffalo defender had

0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:33.000
<v Speaker 1>to do was not a fourth down in sixteen, was

0:26:33.080 --> 0:26:35.600
<v Speaker 1>knocked the ball away, not try and intercept it, and

0:26:35.640 --> 0:26:38.080
<v Speaker 1>then the game's over, you know. But they try for

0:26:38.119 --> 0:26:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the interception and Jefferson's comes down with the ball. But

0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:43.800
<v Speaker 1>these teams that have these really good secondaries and are

0:26:43.840 --> 0:26:46.240
<v Speaker 1>able to play the run, you know, kind of do

0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:49.679
<v Speaker 1>a much better job against them. Yesterday day, Ron Curse

0:26:49.840 --> 0:26:53.720
<v Speaker 1>and Neville Gallimore both spoke to the media No Patrick

0:26:53.760 --> 0:26:57.960
<v Speaker 1>talk specifically to Neville Gallimore, Patrick Walker Dallas Cowboys dot Com,

0:26:58.320 --> 0:27:01.320
<v Speaker 1>and both of them kind of agree and talked a

0:27:01.359 --> 0:27:04.240
<v Speaker 1>lot about how they think that the fixing that fixing

0:27:04.280 --> 0:27:07.360
<v Speaker 1>the run defense for them is about focus. It's about urgency.

0:27:07.359 --> 0:27:10.639
<v Speaker 1>It's about everybody doing their jobs. Do you guys agree

0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:13.080
<v Speaker 1>that it's that simple? It really is. You got the

0:27:13.160 --> 0:27:15.720
<v Speaker 1>right personnel in place, they just need to be more

0:27:15.720 --> 0:27:18.119
<v Speaker 1>focused on doing their jobs rather than being heroes. And

0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:19.679
<v Speaker 1>do you think that's the right answer. Yeah, I mean

0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:22.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it's it's a scheme though. It's it's it's

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:24.600
<v Speaker 1>got to it's a commitment to stop in the run

0:27:25.000 --> 0:27:27.680
<v Speaker 1>and not getting yourself out of position and looking for

0:27:28.080 --> 0:27:30.439
<v Speaker 1>the big plays on the outside. I mean, it's it's

0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:32.159
<v Speaker 1>got to be the players too. The players have to

0:27:32.160 --> 0:27:34.280
<v Speaker 1>buy in. They have to say, all right, we've got

0:27:34.280 --> 0:27:36.640
<v Speaker 1>to stop this run. If we can stop this run,

0:27:37.119 --> 0:27:38.879
<v Speaker 1>then we can do that. I mean, you have to.

0:27:38.920 --> 0:27:41.919
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's this is eating the vegetable so you

0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:44.040
<v Speaker 1>can eat something afterwards. I mean, this is what you

0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:47.320
<v Speaker 1>have to do to do that, and they're not. They're

0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:49.480
<v Speaker 1>not right now, they're trying to make all these plays.

0:27:49.480 --> 0:27:51.640
<v Speaker 1>They're going around blocks, and this starts from the very

0:27:51.680 --> 0:27:54.639
<v Speaker 1>top of the defensive players on that list to the

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:57.760
<v Speaker 1>bottom all of them. Yeah, absolutely right there. I mean

0:27:58.000 --> 0:28:01.919
<v Speaker 1>to me, it's you know, it's great, as Micah Parsons is.

0:28:02.480 --> 0:28:05.240
<v Speaker 1>You can't run around this these blocks in this league

0:28:05.320 --> 0:28:08.160
<v Speaker 1>and expect to make plays. You know, maybe you get

0:28:08.160 --> 0:28:11.199
<v Speaker 1>away with it when you're playing Indiana and Northwestern and

0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:14.000
<v Speaker 1>you know those people, but you can't do that and

0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:16.280
<v Speaker 1>these not with these backs. Not with these backs, you

0:28:16.359 --> 0:28:19.119
<v Speaker 1>run around blocks, you go behind guys that just that

0:28:19.240 --> 0:28:22.000
<v Speaker 1>just you know, angles and all that stuff. But I

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:24.160
<v Speaker 1>think that I think Curse is absolutely right. I love

0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:26.399
<v Speaker 1>what he said yesterday. He went in that was a

0:28:26.520 --> 0:28:29.239
<v Speaker 1>he had a purpose with how he figured out how

0:28:29.280 --> 0:28:31.159
<v Speaker 1>to you know, talk into the media. What you know.

0:28:31.160 --> 0:28:34.480
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't calling out teammates, it was calling out position groups.

0:28:34.720 --> 0:28:36.800
<v Speaker 1>He was saying, Hey, we're not very good at defensive

0:28:36.880 --> 0:28:39.360
<v Speaker 1>end because we're getting hooked. You know, We're not very

0:28:39.360 --> 0:28:41.560
<v Speaker 1>good at linebacker because we're not shooting the gap when

0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:43.760
<v Speaker 1>we're supposed to. We're not doing a good enough job

0:28:43.800 --> 0:28:46.080
<v Speaker 1>at safety and corner and filling when we need to fill.

0:28:46.320 --> 0:28:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he basically he laid it out for you

0:28:48.920 --> 0:28:51.200
<v Speaker 1>the problems that they have. And to Nick's point is

0:28:51.800 --> 0:28:54.320
<v Speaker 1>when you're told to run an assignment like I was

0:28:54.320 --> 0:28:57.120
<v Speaker 1>talking about last week. You know, I learned something yesterday

0:28:57.520 --> 0:28:59.960
<v Speaker 1>about the situation. You know, I thought they were running

0:28:59.960 --> 0:29:02.240
<v Speaker 1>a double twist stunt on the long Jones run that

0:29:02.280 --> 0:29:05.640
<v Speaker 1>went for the touchdown. No, it's a defensive tackle, has

0:29:05.680 --> 0:29:08.280
<v Speaker 1>to be. They're all slant right. It wasn't a double twist.

0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:11.040
<v Speaker 1>It was slant right. And that's what happens if you

0:29:11.080 --> 0:29:13.760
<v Speaker 1>don't slant, if you go the wrong way, it leaves

0:29:13.800 --> 0:29:17.360
<v Speaker 1>a huge hole. That's your responsibility. Know your assignment, execute

0:29:17.400 --> 0:29:21.600
<v Speaker 1>your assignment. That's how you play run defense. You know, effort, assignment,

0:29:21.680 --> 0:29:24.640
<v Speaker 1>and finish. Those are all things involved. And you can't

0:29:24.680 --> 0:29:26.960
<v Speaker 1>have just one of them. You got to have all

0:29:27.000 --> 0:29:28.600
<v Speaker 1>three of them to be good. And I think that's

0:29:28.600 --> 0:29:31.160
<v Speaker 1>what Curse was. And and I didn't hear Neville, but

0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:33.719
<v Speaker 1>I heard Curse. That's what he's pointing out. We have

0:29:33.920 --> 0:29:37.400
<v Speaker 1>to be better at playing our assignments. And then figuring

0:29:37.440 --> 0:29:40.040
<v Speaker 1>out a way to finish when we get an opportunity. Well,

0:29:40.320 --> 0:29:43.760
<v Speaker 1>glad amer I was gonna say that what they both said.

0:29:43.840 --> 0:29:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it sounds simple enough and easy enough, But

0:29:47.840 --> 0:29:51.000
<v Speaker 1>is it I don't think so, because this is nothing new.

0:29:51.520 --> 0:29:55.960
<v Speaker 1>They've been struggling with this since week one, even last year,

0:29:56.040 --> 0:29:59.960
<v Speaker 1>going back to last year. So yes, it wasn't necessarily

0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:03.760
<v Speaker 1>hurting them because they were winning games. But now it's

0:30:03.760 --> 0:30:06.440
<v Speaker 1>to the point where okay, now it really is hurting them.

0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:10.880
<v Speaker 1>They don't seem to find the right answer because it's like, yes,

0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:13.920
<v Speaker 1>everybody do their job, and what really really concerns me

0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:16.120
<v Speaker 1>here and I hope we'll see what the term what

0:30:16.200 --> 0:30:20.440
<v Speaker 1>happens this weekend, but it's can't we get to that

0:30:20.480 --> 0:30:23.680
<v Speaker 1>point where now we're just finger pointing at each other

0:30:23.800 --> 0:30:26.920
<v Speaker 1>and now you're creating some kind of division within the

0:30:26.960 --> 0:30:29.480
<v Speaker 1>locker room and we know how that can become like

0:30:29.720 --> 0:30:32.400
<v Speaker 1>and it just goes downhill from there. I don't think

0:30:32.440 --> 0:30:35.040
<v Speaker 1>they're there at this point. I think this is a

0:30:35.240 --> 0:30:39.520
<v Speaker 1>very tight group, competitive and they'll try their best for

0:30:39.640 --> 0:30:42.560
<v Speaker 1>the better of the group, but you do have to

0:30:42.680 --> 0:30:45.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of take a step back and just make sure everybody,

0:30:45.720 --> 0:30:48.040
<v Speaker 1>like all of y'all have been saying, and what they

0:30:48.120 --> 0:30:50.880
<v Speaker 1>were saying, just do your job, you know, don't try

0:30:50.880 --> 0:30:53.840
<v Speaker 1>to go extra because you know, do too much. Just

0:30:54.000 --> 0:30:57.959
<v Speaker 1>focus on what you have to do. And something you mentioned,

0:30:58.000 --> 0:30:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I think it was when you were talking about the

0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay Packers their defense, I'm pretty sure, but it

0:31:04.640 --> 0:31:07.520
<v Speaker 1>was something that just made me think. You were saying

0:31:07.560 --> 0:31:13.000
<v Speaker 1>how the coach the coordinator likes to keep everybody at

0:31:13.000 --> 0:31:15.800
<v Speaker 1>their position, not really travel guys and move them around,

0:31:16.200 --> 0:31:19.040
<v Speaker 1>and you mentioned how the Cowboys can do that, however,

0:31:19.320 --> 0:31:22.320
<v Speaker 1>and I was thinking about that just back there. I'm like, oh, well,

0:31:22.360 --> 0:31:25.040
<v Speaker 1>that means the Cowboys defense is pretty good because then

0:31:25.120 --> 0:31:28.000
<v Speaker 1>they can follow and not get too confused and you know,

0:31:28.120 --> 0:31:31.440
<v Speaker 1>just be more creative and what they're doing and confuse

0:31:31.520 --> 0:31:34.800
<v Speaker 1>people a little bit. But then now I'm going back

0:31:34.840 --> 0:31:37.800
<v Speaker 1>to can they be that or do you need to

0:31:37.840 --> 0:31:39.880
<v Speaker 1>take a step back and try to kind of quote

0:31:39.960 --> 0:31:43.880
<v Speaker 1>unquote simplify things a little bit and just make sure

0:31:43.920 --> 0:31:46.400
<v Speaker 1>you just literally go back to basics and do what

0:31:46.480 --> 0:31:48.480
<v Speaker 1>you have to do at your position. Yeah, And I

0:31:48.560 --> 0:31:51.040
<v Speaker 1>think the thing that fans have to hope for is

0:31:51.120 --> 0:31:53.800
<v Speaker 1>that their pride kicks in a little bit now you're saying,

0:31:53.960 --> 0:31:56.560
<v Speaker 1>will they be willing to do this? They got embarrassed

0:31:56.640 --> 0:32:00.000
<v Speaker 1>last week, and it's all over everything. Everybody is talking

0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:02.480
<v Speaker 1>about this defense that was supposed to be so great,

0:32:02.960 --> 0:32:05.280
<v Speaker 1>and so, you know, one of the best in the league,

0:32:05.600 --> 0:32:09.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, approaching real great things as a defensive unit,

0:32:09.720 --> 0:32:11.880
<v Speaker 1>and now everybody's like, I don't know, like they can't

0:32:11.920 --> 0:32:14.360
<v Speaker 1>stop the run. They got embarrassed last week, and so

0:32:14.400 --> 0:32:16.920
<v Speaker 1>if you're a Cowboys fan, you gotta hope that their

0:32:16.960 --> 0:32:19.320
<v Speaker 1>pride kicks in and they're like, whatever we gotta do

0:32:19.360 --> 0:32:22.160
<v Speaker 1>to not have that being what is said of us.

0:32:23.080 --> 0:32:24.440
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm willing to do. If that means I'm

0:32:24.440 --> 0:32:26.400
<v Speaker 1>not gonna get the sack because I'm gonna stay in

0:32:26.440 --> 0:32:28.320
<v Speaker 1>this gap, and I'm just gonna stay in this gap,

0:32:28.520 --> 0:32:30.280
<v Speaker 1>that means I'm gonna hold this edge, and that means

0:32:30.320 --> 0:32:32.400
<v Speaker 1>i won't get up field, but I'm gonna hold this edge.

0:32:33.160 --> 0:32:35.160
<v Speaker 1>That's what you gotta hope is that their pride kicks

0:32:35.200 --> 0:32:36.760
<v Speaker 1>in at this point, because I don't I think these

0:32:36.760 --> 0:32:38.960
<v Speaker 1>are good players, and if you have good players that

0:32:39.000 --> 0:32:41.040
<v Speaker 1>are committed to their assignment, I think you can do

0:32:41.120 --> 0:32:42.720
<v Speaker 1>what you need to do. They may never be great

0:32:42.720 --> 0:32:45.080
<v Speaker 1>at stopping the run. They can do enough to be

0:32:45.560 --> 0:32:47.560
<v Speaker 1>good enough for their team to be able to function

0:32:47.560 --> 0:32:51.640
<v Speaker 1>and win. What's what's scary and Amber is absolutely right

0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:53.719
<v Speaker 1>about this. What's scary is curse when all the way

0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:57.240
<v Speaker 1>back to San Francisco playoff game, you know, and Amber

0:32:57.520 --> 0:33:01.040
<v Speaker 1>rightfully so brought up you know, Tom Brady didn't have

0:33:01.080 --> 0:33:03.600
<v Speaker 1>to win this game. Neither did Aaron Rodgers. You know,

0:33:03.680 --> 0:33:07.200
<v Speaker 1>it was they ran the football. Yeah, and so you know,

0:33:07.280 --> 0:33:09.760
<v Speaker 1>and this is and this is what you know, Derek's

0:33:09.800 --> 0:33:13.480
<v Speaker 1>talking about two and curse as well. It does become pride.

0:33:13.520 --> 0:33:15.720
<v Speaker 1>It does become like, listen, if you want us just

0:33:15.760 --> 0:33:19.480
<v Speaker 1>to continue to let teams run over us all day,

0:33:20.080 --> 0:33:22.600
<v Speaker 1>then we have the wrong people here, you know. And

0:33:22.720 --> 0:33:24.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe that's what the Cowboys are thinking about too, with

0:33:25.000 --> 0:33:28.840
<v Speaker 1>adding you know, with you know, with adding Tach McKinley

0:33:28.880 --> 0:33:31.440
<v Speaker 1>and those guys like that, that that maybe you know, hey,

0:33:31.480 --> 0:33:33.640
<v Speaker 1>we're not just going to sit here and let this

0:33:34.280 --> 0:33:36.920
<v Speaker 1>just continue on. We're going to try and figure out

0:33:36.920 --> 0:33:38.480
<v Speaker 1>a way to get the right people in here to

0:33:38.520 --> 0:33:40.360
<v Speaker 1>play run defense. If we have to. All right, we're

0:33:40.360 --> 0:33:42.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna take our final break, comeback. We got a little

0:33:42.320 --> 0:33:44.280
<v Speaker 1>bit more to talk about about the Cowboys offense. We'll

<v Speaker 1>would be secure to jog in the cheetah Savannah. Todd

0:34:19.960 --> 0:34:22.840
<v Speaker 1>believed the big Cat repellent he bought online was reliable.

0:34:23.120 --> 0:34:25.319

0:34:28.080 --> 0:34:29.960

0:34:30.239 --> 0:34:32.759
<v Speaker 1>It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the

0:34:32.800 --> 0:34:35.239
<v Speaker 1>best thing to do is stop running and toss her

<v Speaker 1>WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star, presenter by Like the

0:36:16.200 --> 0:36:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Only Beer of the Dallas Cowboys. Real quick, we have

0:36:19.680 --> 0:36:21.480
<v Speaker 1>a few more minutes left in the show. Question for

0:36:21.520 --> 0:36:23.560
<v Speaker 1>you guys about Dak, how if right now I ask you,

0:36:23.920 --> 0:36:27.960
<v Speaker 1>how would you characterize Dak's season so far? What would

0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:30.880
<v Speaker 1>you say? Average? It's two and two as a starter,

0:36:31.280 --> 0:36:34.160
<v Speaker 1>and you know, he played really bad in the first loss,

0:36:34.680 --> 0:36:37.279
<v Speaker 1>and uh he was he was okay against Detroit, but

0:36:37.360 --> 0:36:39.239
<v Speaker 1>the defense kind of bailed him out, and then they

0:36:39.360 --> 0:36:42.520
<v Speaker 1>looked worse than the game looked, you know, worse than

0:36:42.640 --> 0:36:47.000
<v Speaker 1>it was. And then then I think he played okay,

0:36:47.400 --> 0:36:48.960
<v Speaker 1>and they played really good against the Bears, I mean

0:36:49.080 --> 0:36:51.120
<v Speaker 1>really good and not okay. He was really really good

0:36:51.120 --> 0:36:53.319
<v Speaker 1>against the Bears and the reason why they blew them

0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:55.520
<v Speaker 1>out because they kept scoring. And then he was just

0:36:55.640 --> 0:36:57.799
<v Speaker 1>okay against Screen Bay made some good plays, but made

0:36:57.840 --> 0:37:01.839
<v Speaker 1>some for the Packers as well. So right now, say's average. Yeah,

0:37:01.920 --> 0:37:04.239
<v Speaker 1>I think Nick has nailed it right on the head.

0:37:04.440 --> 0:37:06.799
<v Speaker 1>You know, to me that we've talked about it as

0:37:06.920 --> 0:37:10.000
<v Speaker 1>bunge on this platform we have here that throwing the

0:37:10.080 --> 0:37:12.279
<v Speaker 1>ball forty some odd times is not a great thing

0:37:12.360 --> 0:37:15.200
<v Speaker 1>for Dak Prescott, you know, And I personally feel like

0:37:15.280 --> 0:37:16.680
<v Speaker 1>that if Zeke would have played that game, and they

0:37:16.680 --> 0:37:18.560
<v Speaker 1>probably would have had a different game plan. You know,

0:37:18.600 --> 0:37:20.799
<v Speaker 1>with a fourteen point lead, you probably might have seen

0:37:20.840 --> 0:37:23.319
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more Zeke for three, Zeke for four,

0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Zeke for four, Zeke for three, Tony for eighteen. You know,

0:37:27.200 --> 0:37:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I think you'd have seen a little bit more of that,

0:37:29.200 --> 0:37:32.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, and you just you know, it's it's there's

0:37:32.680 --> 0:37:34.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of pressure on him. You know, there's a

0:37:34.400 --> 0:37:37.239
<v Speaker 1>lot of pressure on him to deliver. You know. We

0:37:37.320 --> 0:37:39.680
<v Speaker 1>had Stephen A. Smith on from ESPN. He was on

0:37:39.840 --> 0:37:42.080
<v Speaker 1>station on one oh five three this morning and talking

0:37:42.120 --> 0:37:44.600
<v Speaker 1>about you know, hey, they built a good team around

0:37:44.640 --> 0:37:47.160
<v Speaker 1>this guy. This is on him. It's on if this

0:37:47.280 --> 0:37:50.520
<v Speaker 1>team is going to have success in the seasonal and

0:37:50.719 --> 0:37:54.000
<v Speaker 1>playoffs and Super Bowl. He's capable, and I agree with

0:37:54.120 --> 0:37:56.680
<v Speaker 1>him on that. He just has to be more consistent.

0:37:57.000 --> 0:38:00.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, he just can't have the seventeen play brilliant

0:38:00.640 --> 0:38:03.040
<v Speaker 1>drives of just bam bam bam bam down the field

0:38:03.120 --> 0:38:06.000
<v Speaker 1>every throw, and then the next time go two straight,

0:38:06.160 --> 0:38:08.680
<v Speaker 1>three straight series of three and outs and you know,

0:38:08.960 --> 0:38:12.239
<v Speaker 1>have two three bad throws or turn the ball over,

0:38:12.360 --> 0:38:14.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, and not all the turnovers are his fault.

0:38:14.960 --> 0:38:18.520
<v Speaker 1>But I agree with Nick, it's just there's just it's

0:38:18.560 --> 0:38:22.040
<v Speaker 1>just as it's so inconsistent right now that you kind

0:38:22.080 --> 0:38:24.080
<v Speaker 1>of like you want to get excited and then two

0:38:24.200 --> 0:38:26.120
<v Speaker 1>or three things happen the next series that you're kind

0:38:26.120 --> 0:38:28.320
<v Speaker 1>of like going to a Well, he's just not capable

0:38:28.360 --> 0:38:30.400
<v Speaker 1>of playing any better, And you know, that's kind of

0:38:30.440 --> 0:38:33.239
<v Speaker 1>what we are right now. Yeah, I agree with both

0:38:33.320 --> 0:38:35.719
<v Speaker 1>of them. But if I was killing Moore, if I'm

0:38:35.800 --> 0:38:38.440
<v Speaker 1>kelling Moore, I'm trying to figure out how do I

0:38:38.600 --> 0:38:42.000
<v Speaker 1>get Dak to have a better start? I think, and

0:38:42.120 --> 0:38:44.719
<v Speaker 1>we see it with a few exceptions, you know, and

0:38:44.880 --> 0:38:47.279
<v Speaker 1>you look at through his career, I think that has

0:38:47.360 --> 0:38:51.880
<v Speaker 1>been a persistent problem where he becomes a better player

0:38:52.440 --> 0:38:55.160
<v Speaker 1>in the second half of the game. But how can

0:38:55.280 --> 0:38:57.680
<v Speaker 1>we figure out for him to because if they get

0:38:57.719 --> 0:39:00.600
<v Speaker 1>off to a good start. I think they have way

0:39:00.680 --> 0:39:03.920
<v Speaker 1>better chances of winning games, especially with these all these

0:39:04.000 --> 0:39:08.040
<v Speaker 1>close games. You're taking a lead and protect the ball,

0:39:08.239 --> 0:39:10.680
<v Speaker 1>don't take chances on throws that you don't need to throw.

0:39:11.040 --> 0:39:14.120
<v Speaker 1>But then just and I don't know the answer here.

0:39:14.239 --> 0:39:16.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how you get him. How do you

0:39:16.360 --> 0:39:19.200
<v Speaker 1>get the player If he's better, I agree, if he's

0:39:19.239 --> 0:39:21.239
<v Speaker 1>better in the second half, give him more opportunities in

0:39:21.320 --> 0:39:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the second half, and by doing that, lean on your defense,

0:39:23.960 --> 0:39:26.080
<v Speaker 1>even though your defense is having trouble stopping the run

0:39:26.120 --> 0:39:28.279
<v Speaker 1>and all that stuff. I would kick off to start,

0:39:28.280 --> 0:39:30.640
<v Speaker 1>if you win the toss, kick off. Two of the

0:39:30.760 --> 0:39:34.200
<v Speaker 1>three games that they they tried to go and be

0:39:34.280 --> 0:39:38.320
<v Speaker 1>very aggressive. In the Detroit game that backfired. Chicago was

0:39:38.400 --> 0:39:41.360
<v Speaker 1>a situation where they scored on the first four possessions

0:39:41.400 --> 0:39:43.640
<v Speaker 1>of the game, and then in Green Bay you're thinking, well,

0:39:44.120 --> 0:39:45.840
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna you know, we're gonna take the ball and

0:39:45.880 --> 0:39:48.520
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna drive it, and that doesn't work out very well.

0:39:48.760 --> 0:39:50.759
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I'd rather not have him start at the

0:39:50.800 --> 0:39:53.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty five yard line and then and then try to

0:39:53.200 --> 0:39:55.959
<v Speaker 1>drive it with the crowd the way it is, that crowd,

0:39:56.040 --> 0:39:59.200
<v Speaker 1>we see it all the time. They know everybody thinks

0:39:59.239 --> 0:40:01.719
<v Speaker 1>halftimes thirty minutes like high school, and it's not. And

0:40:01.800 --> 0:40:03.759
<v Speaker 1>by the time you get back into your seat, it

0:40:03.960 --> 0:40:07.439
<v Speaker 1>is dead as a doornail. In the third quarter, take

0:40:07.520 --> 0:40:10.480
<v Speaker 1>the ball in the dome stadium like that when everyone's

0:40:10.480 --> 0:40:12.480
<v Speaker 1>still not back in your seat, and go drive it down.

0:40:12.600 --> 0:40:15.080
<v Speaker 1>But to start the game, towels are waving and all

0:40:15.120 --> 0:40:16.839
<v Speaker 1>that kind of crap. And then you're gonna get three

0:40:16.840 --> 0:40:18.719
<v Speaker 1>and out and you punt it towards midfield, and then

0:40:19.000 --> 0:40:21.680
<v Speaker 1>now they're going in. If you win the toss, kick

0:40:21.719 --> 0:40:23.879
<v Speaker 1>it off and see if your defense can stop them.

0:40:24.000 --> 0:40:26.200
<v Speaker 1>And if you do, turp In maybe makes a play.

0:40:26.320 --> 0:40:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Now you're starting at the forty forty five yard line

0:40:28.400 --> 0:40:29.960
<v Speaker 1>and you can go in. Did you say this the

0:40:29.960 --> 0:40:32.120
<v Speaker 1>other day? I think you did that, and over time

0:40:32.160 --> 0:40:36.120
<v Speaker 1>you would have taken the wind. I would have you

0:40:36.239 --> 0:40:38.560
<v Speaker 1>mentioned it to me. You mentioned it to me before

0:40:38.600 --> 0:40:40.920
<v Speaker 1>they made the decision. You say it, I think I

0:40:41.040 --> 0:40:44.400
<v Speaker 1>might take the win. And it's not just the wind

0:40:44.600 --> 0:40:46.600
<v Speaker 1>and the and whatever. You know, kick it that way.

0:40:46.719 --> 0:40:49.879
<v Speaker 1>It's not just that. The way the rules are set

0:40:50.000 --> 0:40:52.799
<v Speaker 1>up and the way your defense is and the way

0:40:52.840 --> 0:40:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers had kind of got him carved up. He

0:40:54.719 --> 0:40:56.840
<v Speaker 1>probably was gonna go win it, so that that's probably

0:40:56.880 --> 0:40:58.840
<v Speaker 1>why not. But if it would have been a situation

0:40:58.920 --> 0:41:01.840
<v Speaker 1>where maybe you got something out. I said it in

0:41:01.880 --> 0:41:03.719
<v Speaker 1>New England. I said it the exact same thing in

0:41:03.760 --> 0:41:05.680
<v Speaker 1>New England. I was like, I'm not taking the I've

0:41:05.719 --> 0:41:08.000
<v Speaker 1>taken the wind here and that's what happens. You kick

0:41:08.080 --> 0:41:10.880
<v Speaker 1>it off, Yeah, you stop them. Now all you have

0:41:10.960 --> 0:41:12.279
<v Speaker 1>to do is go get a field goal. If they

0:41:12.320 --> 0:41:14.759
<v Speaker 1>would have been if they would have won the game.

0:41:15.040 --> 0:41:16.800
<v Speaker 1>I thought about this later. They would have won the

0:41:16.880 --> 0:41:19.640
<v Speaker 1>game with a long touchdown. Especially to CD, that game

0:41:19.680 --> 0:41:22.120
<v Speaker 1>would have been exactly like the Patriots game from the

0:41:22.200 --> 0:41:25.279
<v Speaker 1>year before. You're messing around with them, you're better than them,

0:41:25.320 --> 0:41:27.520
<v Speaker 1>You've had turnovers in the red zone, you're keeping them

0:41:27.560 --> 0:41:29.279
<v Speaker 1>in the game. They're not really very good, and then

0:41:29.320 --> 0:41:31.160
<v Speaker 1>they come back and tie the game, and then you

0:41:31.200 --> 0:41:33.040
<v Speaker 1>get to over time and you stop them and you

0:41:33.120 --> 0:41:35.280
<v Speaker 1>go win with a bad weather and all that minutes

0:41:35.320 --> 0:41:37.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't work out. But I think you gotta look at wind,

0:41:37.680 --> 0:41:39.480
<v Speaker 1>and you gotta look at that sometimes. I think that.

0:41:39.680 --> 0:41:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I think, to me that the prospect of and I

0:41:43.280 --> 0:41:45.360
<v Speaker 1>think you're absolutely right. I think the prospect of just

0:41:45.480 --> 0:41:47.279
<v Speaker 1>having to kick a field goal, if you could play

0:41:47.360 --> 0:41:50.360
<v Speaker 1>good enough defense the first time, is a great advantage.

0:41:50.800 --> 0:41:53.239
<v Speaker 1>Scoring that initial touchdown is the hard thing, especially for

0:41:53.280 --> 0:41:55.239
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys, because they're gonna get a holding call along

0:41:55.360 --> 0:41:57.759
<v Speaker 1>the way, or somebody's gonna line up off sides, or

0:41:57.800 --> 0:42:00.279
<v Speaker 1>something's gonna happen, you know, along the way. I mean,

0:42:00.320 --> 0:42:01.920
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty simple, you know, if you got a good

0:42:02.000 --> 0:42:04.719
<v Speaker 1>enough kicker, it's an advantage to take the win and

0:42:04.800 --> 0:42:06.560
<v Speaker 1>kick a fifty yard field goal and get the hell

0:42:06.600 --> 0:42:08.800
<v Speaker 1>out of there, right, you know, then then have to

0:42:08.880 --> 0:42:11.160
<v Speaker 1>try and score touchdown on taking the ball. You know,

0:42:11.239 --> 0:42:13.239
<v Speaker 1>it's weird. Wait till you get to the playoffs and

0:42:13.320 --> 0:42:16.520
<v Speaker 1>a game goes to overtime and now the rules are different.

0:42:16.880 --> 0:42:19.680
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna see a completely different h It's gonna be

0:42:19.760 --> 0:42:22.680
<v Speaker 1>like college a strategy. Teams are not going to take

0:42:22.719 --> 0:42:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the ball now. You want to know what you gotta do, right,

0:42:25.360 --> 0:42:27.480
<v Speaker 1>So now you want to kickoff for sure, right, and

0:42:27.640 --> 0:42:29.440
<v Speaker 1>then make you stop them. Now you'll you do just

0:42:29.520 --> 0:42:31.560
<v Speaker 1>kick a field goal and win. So it's going to

0:42:31.640 --> 0:42:34.640
<v Speaker 1>be completely different structure, which is another reason why we

0:42:34.719 --> 0:42:36.360
<v Speaker 1>were talking about it. You don't make different rules for

0:42:36.360 --> 0:42:38.719
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs now, because there's gonna change the stragg there's

0:42:38.719 --> 0:42:40.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a team in Week eighteen like that, Raiders

0:42:40.800 --> 0:42:43.719
<v Speaker 1>and Chargers having to play to get in for a time.

0:42:43.880 --> 0:42:45.719
<v Speaker 1>They get in the next week and then it's a

0:42:45.800 --> 0:42:49.279
<v Speaker 1>completely different you know, that's just stupid. Their playoff to me,

0:42:49.400 --> 0:42:52.239
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs start in mid December. Every game is a

0:42:52.239 --> 0:42:54.279
<v Speaker 1>playoff game for about half the league. There you go,

0:42:54.400 --> 0:42:55.840
<v Speaker 1>it is going to be for sure this year with

0:42:55.960 --> 0:42:58.560
<v Speaker 1>all that's going on. All right, appreciate you guys, Johns.

0:42:58.560 --> 0:43:01.120
<v Speaker 1>We'll be back tomorrow. We'll give you guys a basically

0:43:01.160 --> 0:43:02.480
<v Speaker 1>our wrap up for the week. Let you know what

0:43:02.520 --> 0:43:05.360
<v Speaker 1>we think is gonna happen this weekend. Cowboys Vergs versus Vikens.

0:43:05.520 --> 0:43:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Till then for Nick Eamon Brian brought us Amber Garcia.
