Alright, speaking of the Vikings in Minnesota, 24 00:01:33,828 --> 00:01:36,868 Speaker 1: holds our own NFL Network insider Tom Pellisero. But he's 25 00:01:36,868 --> 00:01:39,308 Speaker 1: not talking about the Vikings today. The Saints taking on 26 00:01:39,348 --> 00:01:42,068 Speaker 1: the Cardinals tonight on Thursday Night Football, which you can 27 00:01:42,068 --> 00:01:45,508 Speaker 1: watch on Prime Video Plus. It's available on NFL Plus. Son, 28 00:01:45,588 --> 00:01:48,628 Speaker 1: let's start with the Saints. The quarterback is it Andy Dalton? 29 00:01:48,788 --> 00:01:51,308 Speaker 1: Is a Jamis Winston, It's a Tusam Hill. Who is 30 00:01:51,348 --> 00:01:55,588 Speaker 1: going to be under center tonight? Well, Jamie. Saints coach 31 00:01:55,628 --> 00:01:59,348 Speaker 1: Dennis Allen has declined to reveal who is starting quarterback 32 00:01:59,348 --> 00:02:02,668 Speaker 1: will be against the Cardinals tonight. However, from my understanding, 33 00:02:02,708 --> 00:02:06,028 Speaker 1: all signs are pointing toward Andy Dalton being in the 34 00:02:06,068 --> 00:02:09,788 Speaker 1: lineup once again. Jameis Winston still has not had a 35 00:02:09,868 --> 00:02:13,188 Speaker 1: full day of practice since he suffered the back end 36 00:02:13,228 --> 00:02:16,548 Speaker 1: ankle injuries way back in Week two. Of course, the 37 00:02:16,588 --> 00:02:19,948 Speaker 1: Saints have played better with Dalton under center, so certainly 38 00:02:19,948 --> 00:02:22,588 Speaker 1: would make sense for him to get another start tonight. 39 00:02:22,748 --> 00:02:25,508 Speaker 1: Still gonna be shorthanded at wide, receiver. No Michael Thomas, 40 00:02:25,748 --> 00:02:29,508 Speaker 1: no Jarvis Landry. But Chris o'lave, the rookie who's going 41 00:02:29,548 --> 00:02:31,948 Speaker 1: to stand out so far this season, not even listed 42 00:02:31,988 --> 00:02:34,228 Speaker 1: on the injury reporters. He comes back from a concussion, 43 00:02:34,708 --> 00:02:38,148 Speaker 1: he should be good to go. DeAndre Hopkins for the Cardinals, 44 00:02:38,348 --> 00:02:41,348 Speaker 1: back from his six game suspension. Tonight I asked someone 45 00:02:41,428 --> 00:02:43,828 Speaker 1: in the know, how much is Hopkins going to play 46 00:02:43,908 --> 00:02:46,948 Speaker 1: given that he's barely had any practice here. The response 47 00:02:46,988 --> 00:02:49,308 Speaker 1: I got was all of it. In other words, this 48 00:02:49,388 --> 00:02:52,308 Speaker 1: is going to be DeAndre Hopkins full go out of 49 00:02:52,308 --> 00:02:54,068 Speaker 1: the gate, and the Cardinals make it a little bit 50 00:02:54,108 --> 00:02:56,908 Speaker 1: of help too. Robbie Anderson, who has just acquired a 51 00:02:56,948 --> 00:02:59,948 Speaker 1: couple of days ago from the Panthers in a trade. 52 00:03:00,268 --> 00:03:03,388 Speaker 1: I am told he is expected to get limited snaps 53 00:03:03,588 --> 00:03:08,628 Speaker 1: in his Arizona debut. Jamie, Oh, that's interesting to know, Tom. 54 00:03:08,788 --> 00:03:10,828 Speaker 1: On all fronts. We'll talk to you in a little 55 00:03:10,868 --> 00:03:13,468 Speaker 1: bit of the show when we're looking ahead further to 56 00:03:13,548 --> 00:03:16,268 Speaker 1: this game. But Saints Cardinals, that is what's on tap tonight. 57 00:03:16,348 --> 00:03:19,908 Speaker 1: Two wounded teams, desperate four success. What are we watching 58 00:03:19,908 --> 00:03:22,668 Speaker 1: for tonight? K Well, we're watching for stars in a 59 00:03:22,708 --> 00:03:24,348 Speaker 1: game like this right. We like the stars on the 60 00:03:24,388 --> 00:03:27,068 Speaker 1: Thursday Night football and for the New Orleans Saints, I 61 00:03:27,108 --> 00:03:28,748 Speaker 1: just wanted to come on a journey with me for 62 00:03:29,108 --> 00:03:33,308 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two Saints. I'm gonna bring up touchdowns 63 00:03:33,428 --> 00:03:35,508 Speaker 1: scored by the twenty twenty two Saints. Look at the 64 00:03:35,588 --> 00:03:39,148 Speaker 1: upper left hand corner, Okay Taysom Hill five really unique player. 65 00:03:39,308 --> 00:03:42,708 Speaker 1: Michael Thomaster heard three Chris A lave To mark ingram 66 00:03:42,708 --> 00:03:44,868 Speaker 1: back with the Saints Beatavius Murray is up for the 67 00:03:44,868 --> 00:03:46,948 Speaker 1: practice squad. He is currently at Bronco. He has one 68 00:03:47,028 --> 00:03:51,388 Speaker 1: upper right corner Trey Kwan, Marcus Calloway, Adam Troutman, undrafted 69 00:03:51,468 --> 00:03:54,988 Speaker 1: rookie Rashit Shahi. What does that say in the bottom 70 00:03:55,068 --> 00:04:00,068 Speaker 1: right now? That is a zero zero next to Alvin Kamara. 71 00:04:00,188 --> 00:04:03,548 Speaker 1: I said, stars, this is supposed to be their superstar. 72 00:04:03,708 --> 00:04:07,068 Speaker 1: He has zero a rushing, he has zero receiving. Guys, 73 00:04:07,108 --> 00:04:10,108 Speaker 1: if my memory serves, Alvin Camara has six touchdowns in 74 00:04:10,108 --> 00:04:15,108 Speaker 1: one game. He has zero touchdowns on the season. If 75 00:04:15,108 --> 00:04:17,788 Speaker 1: you google Alvin Kamara, there is a whole myriad of 76 00:04:17,788 --> 00:04:20,788 Speaker 1: headlines that come up. One says, is Alvin Camara a 77 00:04:20,908 --> 00:04:24,948 Speaker 1: viable starter in fantasy Alvin Kamara injured question mark Alvin 78 00:04:24,988 --> 00:04:27,708 Speaker 1: Camara civil suit filed all kinds of stuff. It has 79 00:04:27,708 --> 00:04:30,668 Speaker 1: been a really bad offseason and a really unproductive season 80 00:04:31,068 --> 00:04:32,428 Speaker 1: for a guy who's supposed to be one of the 81 00:04:32,468 --> 00:04:36,028 Speaker 1: most electric, slipperiest players in all of football, A magnet 82 00:04:36,068 --> 00:04:40,388 Speaker 1: to the end zone, zero zero touchdowns, Alvin, I got 83 00:04:40,428 --> 00:04:41,788 Speaker 1: a lot going on in your life and your career 84 00:04:41,788 --> 00:04:43,788 Speaker 1: and your body and everything like that. It's time to 85 00:04:43,788 --> 00:04:45,788 Speaker 1: get this thing going. Because if the Saint's gonna go anywhere, 86 00:04:45,908 --> 00:04:47,548 Speaker 1: number forty one has to carry them. Let's have a 87 00:04:47,628 --> 00:04:49,148 Speaker 1: night tonight. If you're a Saints fan, let's get the 88 00:04:49,228 --> 00:04:51,108 Speaker 1: end zone Peter once. Yeah, And I think if you're 89 00:04:51,148 --> 00:04:54,188 Speaker 1: a Cardinals fan, you're saying, can can we get something going? 90 00:04:54,188 --> 00:04:55,868 Speaker 1: If you're a Cardinals fan, you're a season ticket holder, 91 00:04:55,868 --> 00:04:57,828 Speaker 1: do you know you haven't seen your Cardinals win in 92 00:04:57,868 --> 00:05:00,468 Speaker 1: that building since October twenty fourth of the last year, 93 00:05:01,708 --> 00:05:05,548 Speaker 1: nearly a calendar year. Look, how gah slee that screen 94 00:05:05,668 --> 00:05:07,188 Speaker 1: is s been on the seven or I'll start? That 95 00:05:07,228 --> 00:05:08,868 Speaker 1: was the seven or no start. They beat the Texans 96 00:05:08,868 --> 00:05:11,068 Speaker 1: thirty one to five on October twenty fourth. They haven't 97 00:05:11,068 --> 00:05:13,668 Speaker 1: won since they got to seven and and lost to 98 00:05:13,708 --> 00:05:15,708 Speaker 1: the Packers on that Thursday night game, and it has 99 00:05:15,708 --> 00:05:18,868 Speaker 1: been just a downhill. That's a wild supposter. Those are 100 00:05:18,908 --> 00:05:22,108 Speaker 1: all teams that the Packers a two game losing streak, 101 00:05:22,108 --> 00:05:25,628 Speaker 1: and that's been this season like eight game losing streak, 102 00:05:25,668 --> 00:05:29,068 Speaker 1: and then they start all of these games terribly. Like 103 00:05:29,228 --> 00:05:31,548 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of talent coming into this 104 00:05:31,588 --> 00:05:34,148 Speaker 1: game with DeAndre getting back, because now you can get 105 00:05:34,228 --> 00:05:36,748 Speaker 1: Kyler in his comfort zone. But have you seen how 106 00:05:36,788 --> 00:05:39,508 Speaker 1: many points they've scored in the first quarter. This scored 107 00:05:39,508 --> 00:05:41,468 Speaker 1: a field goal last week against the Seahawks to start 108 00:05:41,468 --> 00:05:45,828 Speaker 1: the game. That was it. That was it. Three points 109 00:05:45,868 --> 00:05:47,708 Speaker 1: all season in the first quarter. Look at their the 110 00:05:47,708 --> 00:05:50,948 Speaker 1: rest of the Seahawks at forty four. So there's clearly 111 00:05:50,988 --> 00:05:54,548 Speaker 1: something here. We don't win at home and we start terribly, Okay, 112 00:05:54,588 --> 00:05:57,628 Speaker 1: that seems like we can remedy that maybe tonight. Get 113 00:05:57,628 --> 00:06:00,708 Speaker 1: out early, get a touchdown, put a field goal through 114 00:06:00,748 --> 00:06:03,508 Speaker 1: the goal post, get a nice ten nothing cushion, and 115 00:06:03,588 --> 00:06:06,028 Speaker 1: you don't have to live this way. Those Cardinals fans 116 00:06:06,028 --> 00:06:07,788 Speaker 1: are die hards. They have seen a lot of bad 117 00:06:07,788 --> 00:06:10,148 Speaker 1: football over the last thirty years. They've also seen a 118 00:06:10,148 --> 00:06:13,188 Speaker 1: lot of good football. They shouldn't have to suffer through 119 00:06:13,268 --> 00:06:15,428 Speaker 1: loss after loss after loss, and they shouldn't have to 120 00:06:15,428 --> 00:06:17,108 Speaker 1: wait till the fourth quarter for Kyler to pull some 121 00:06:17,188 --> 00:06:19,868 Speaker 1: rabbit out of his hat. And hey, Arizona, if you're watching, 122 00:06:19,948 --> 00:06:22,628 Speaker 1: what I'm looking for a fast start and maybe a 123 00:06:22,708 --> 00:06:25,828 Speaker 1: victory at home? Maybe Jay When you see that that 124 00:06:25,868 --> 00:06:27,708 Speaker 1: they never score in the first quarter, like they just 125 00:06:27,748 --> 00:06:30,428 Speaker 1: don't what do you coach, quarterback? What is it? Is? That? 126 00:06:30,828 --> 00:06:33,668 Speaker 1: It's odd? Because I feel like from a defensive standpoint, 127 00:06:33,668 --> 00:06:35,908 Speaker 1: our biggest fear would be going into a game is 128 00:06:35,988 --> 00:06:39,428 Speaker 1: how a team starts their first fifteen plays is usually scripted. 129 00:06:39,668 --> 00:06:41,748 Speaker 1: They go and when they can stay on pace, it 130 00:06:41,828 --> 00:06:43,788 Speaker 1: is good. So you look at that and it's just 131 00:06:43,868 --> 00:06:46,628 Speaker 1: all right, a sluggish team coming out. So as a defense, 132 00:06:46,668 --> 00:06:48,668 Speaker 1: it's just like, we gotta keep we gotta keep our 133 00:06:48,668 --> 00:06:50,428 Speaker 1: foot on the gas. So we want to come out, 134 00:06:50,588 --> 00:06:53,708 Speaker 1: start fast, maybe blitz, get a turnover, and make sure 135 00:06:53,788 --> 00:06:55,988 Speaker 1: we kind of keep them in the dumps where they are, 136 00:06:55,988 --> 00:06:58,028 Speaker 1: because as soon as you give them a little wife, 137 00:06:58,068 --> 00:06:59,868 Speaker 1: a little belief, it's just like, all right, now we 138 00:06:59,868 --> 00:07:01,508 Speaker 1: can turn Who do you blame? Who do you blame? 139 00:07:01,508 --> 00:07:03,068 Speaker 1: Like if you're you're a fan, You're like, why don't 140 00:07:03,068 --> 00:07:04,828 Speaker 1: we score in the first quarter. That's a real thing. 141 00:07:04,908 --> 00:07:07,388 Speaker 1: Like I mean, as a as a player, I always 142 00:07:07,388 --> 00:07:11,148 Speaker 1: blame coaching. I just like to coach. I don't want to, 143 00:07:11,348 --> 00:07:13,588 Speaker 1: but it comes down to because I can say from 144 00:07:13,588 --> 00:07:15,908 Speaker 1: the outside, oh yeah, it's coaching. Cliff Kingsbury isn't coming 145 00:07:15,988 --> 00:07:17,868 Speaker 1: up with a plan that works. But at the end 146 00:07:17,868 --> 00:07:20,108 Speaker 1: of the day, players entered the field and you have 147 00:07:20,148 --> 00:07:23,508 Speaker 1: to execute. There is no secret play that annexation of 148 00:07:23,588 --> 00:07:25,948 Speaker 1: Puerto Rico. There is nothing like that that's gonna work. 149 00:07:26,108 --> 00:07:28,148 Speaker 1: So now when you get out there comes to Kyler 150 00:07:28,148 --> 00:07:30,508 Speaker 1: and the rest of those guys on offense to execute, 151 00:07:30,588 --> 00:07:32,508 Speaker 1: do what we're coach should do and be able to 152 00:07:32,508 --> 00:07:35,068 Speaker 1: make plays. And for me, you talk about making plays. 153 00:07:35,068 --> 00:07:38,028 Speaker 1: On the other side, we talk about Thursday Night Superstars. 154 00:07:38,068 --> 00:07:40,548 Speaker 1: It's the quarterback position for the Saints. Don't know if 155 00:07:40,588 --> 00:07:43,308 Speaker 1: Jamis Winson is gonna play. Dennis Allen says a game 156 00:07:43,308 --> 00:07:46,548 Speaker 1: time decision. Andy Dolton hurt his back last week versus Bengals. 157 00:07:47,068 --> 00:07:49,908 Speaker 1: Entered the chat, Taysom Hill, let's go up there at 158 00:07:49,948 --> 00:07:54,148 Speaker 1: five touchdowns. I know the quarterback experience, full time experience 159 00:07:54,148 --> 00:07:56,788 Speaker 1: didn't really work. Out for Taysom Hill, but he's found 160 00:07:56,828 --> 00:07:59,428 Speaker 1: his niche. He comes in and he makes plays, whether 161 00:07:59,468 --> 00:08:02,428 Speaker 1: it's ripping off a sixty yard run to score touchdown, 162 00:08:02,668 --> 00:08:05,708 Speaker 1: making a play on special teams, whatever it is, he 163 00:08:05,788 --> 00:08:07,788 Speaker 1: finds a way to get it done. For these Saints 164 00:08:07,988 --> 00:08:10,868 Speaker 1: and these Thursday night games, they haven't been the most 165 00:08:11,668 --> 00:08:15,028 Speaker 1: enjoyable or electrifying to watch. So I want to see 166 00:08:15,068 --> 00:08:16,828 Speaker 1: some Taysom Hill tonight. I want to see him go 167 00:08:16,868 --> 00:08:19,388 Speaker 1: out there and make a play, run somebody over, rip 168 00:08:19,388 --> 00:08:22,428 Speaker 1: off a long run, throw a touchdown, past have a night, 169 00:08:22,668 --> 00:08:25,468 Speaker 1: make some plays for everybody to jump off the couch 170 00:08:25,508 --> 00:08:28,348 Speaker 1: and get excited. He really does everything. He that block 171 00:08:28,468 --> 00:08:30,348 Speaker 1: he threw at the end of the game to seal 172 00:08:30,388 --> 00:08:32,508 Speaker 1: a win a couple of weeks ago, Taysom Hill, it's 173 00:08:32,548 --> 00:08:35,348 Speaker 1: electric at his certain play is just pop off the 174 00:08:35,388 --> 00:08:37,668 Speaker 1: screen to you. And I would put Kyler Murray in 175 00:08:37,708 --> 00:08:40,548 Speaker 1: that category. When he's at his best, he is electric. 176 00:08:40,988 --> 00:08:43,148 Speaker 1: Have we seen him at his best? I'm not sure, 177 00:08:43,188 --> 00:08:46,588 Speaker 1: but the fluctuation of the wide receiver position for the 178 00:08:46,588 --> 00:08:50,308 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals is really challenging. If Kyler Murray I would 179 00:08:50,308 --> 00:08:53,308 Speaker 1: be really frustrated by this. It was announced this week 180 00:08:53,428 --> 00:08:56,268 Speaker 1: that Marquis Hollywood Brown would be out for a month. 181 00:08:56,588 --> 00:08:58,988 Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson has the most receiving yards in this room 182 00:08:58,988 --> 00:09:02,148 Speaker 1: now and he's been there like seventy two hours. Rondel 183 00:09:02,268 --> 00:09:05,988 Speaker 1: Moore A G. Green. I mean, now we're getting DeAndre 184 00:09:06,068 --> 00:09:09,028 Speaker 1: Hopkins back, but he hasn't practiced and he had you know, 185 00:09:09,148 --> 00:09:11,188 Speaker 1: he missed the last four games of last season. And 186 00:09:11,188 --> 00:09:15,868 Speaker 1: it's just the team chemistry and how they can respond 187 00:09:16,028 --> 00:09:18,988 Speaker 1: and bring Robbie Anderson in quickly is going to be 188 00:09:19,028 --> 00:09:21,108 Speaker 1: really interesting to me. The last thing image for me 189 00:09:21,188 --> 00:09:25,348 Speaker 1: is Robbie Anderson's behavior on the sideline last weekend. Cardinal 190 00:09:25,948 --> 00:09:28,628 Speaker 1: Panther's great Jonathan Stewart was on a podcast a couple 191 00:09:28,628 --> 00:09:31,148 Speaker 1: of days ago and he said, you know, we should 192 00:09:31,188 --> 00:09:34,268 Speaker 1: check your temper tantrum, and then Robbie Anderson responded to that, 193 00:09:34,348 --> 00:09:36,828 Speaker 1: and it's just like Robbie Anderson, like you have to 194 00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:39,788 Speaker 1: respond by playing and I know you're receiving yards is 195 00:09:39,868 --> 00:09:42,188 Speaker 1: up there, but like, be a person that is a 196 00:09:42,268 --> 00:09:45,268 Speaker 1: highly touted target on a team that has a potential 197 00:09:45,548 --> 00:09:47,308 Speaker 1: to be on the up and up for the rest 198 00:09:47,348 --> 00:09:49,188 Speaker 1: of the season, you have a potential to go into 199 00:09:49,188 --> 00:09:52,348 Speaker 1: this room that badly needs a great pass catcher and 200 00:09:52,468 --> 00:09:55,068 Speaker 1: make a name for yourself and frankly spin the narrative 201 00:09:55,108 --> 00:09:56,748 Speaker 1: a little bit on what people are thinking about you 202 00:09:56,868 --> 00:09:58,388 Speaker 1: right now. No, well, I think one of the things 203 00:09:58,428 --> 00:10:00,268 Speaker 1: Peter hit on a lot last year was when DeAndre 204 00:10:00,388 --> 00:10:02,188 Speaker 1: was off the field, Kyler to new a different quarterback 205 00:10:02,188 --> 00:10:03,628 Speaker 1: and they're all just fell apart, and he hasn't been 206 00:10:03,668 --> 00:10:05,748 Speaker 1: the same as it now he's back, And I would 207 00:10:05,748 --> 00:10:07,428 Speaker 1: just say this, we like to pull from the world 208 00:10:07,428 --> 00:10:10,068 Speaker 1: of professional wrestling sometime. I look at those two wreckers. 209 00:10:10,148 --> 00:10:12,188 Speaker 1: I see two and four versus two and four. This 210 00:10:12,228 --> 00:10:15,108 Speaker 1: is a loser leaves town. May's meaning two and five 211 00:10:15,308 --> 00:10:17,388 Speaker 1: see you later. Like, we're not going to talk about you. 212 00:10:17,388 --> 00:10:19,268 Speaker 1: You're not three and four. All right, we'll get this 213 00:10:19,308 --> 00:10:21,788 Speaker 1: thing back together. Maybe you joined the party. Loser leaves town. 214 00:10:21,828 --> 00:10:23,548 Speaker 1: You lose this one. On Thursday night gets to two 215 00:10:23,548 --> 00:10:25,908 Speaker 1: and five, we'll start, we'll start talking about you run 216 00:10:25,948 --> 00:10:28,588 Speaker 1: the draft and in divisions that like three and five 217 00:10:28,668 --> 00:10:31,388 Speaker 1: could play, three and four could play. I don't mind it. 218 00:10:31,588 --> 00:10:33,868 Speaker 1: I don't mind it at all better than two and five. Yeah, 219 00:10:34,268 --> 00:10:36,908 Speaker 1: you know, Thursday night football, we gotta come next week. 220 00:10:37,108 --> 00:10:40,108 Speaker 1: It's Ravens versus Bucks with Brady and Lamar.

It's memories, 231 00:11:23,068 --> 00:11:25,508 Speaker 1: but it's also spinning it forward to Dolphins play the 232 00:11:25,508 --> 00:11:28,228 Speaker 1: Steelers on Sunday night. Some the living members of the 233 00:11:28,268 --> 00:11:33,348 Speaker 1: team will be in attendance, will be honored on Sunday. Jason, 234 00:11:33,388 --> 00:11:36,828 Speaker 1: are you ready for some questions involving the nineteen seventy 235 00:11:36,828 --> 00:11:41,868 Speaker 1: two Dolphins. Probably not. Let let's get into it, Jason. 236 00:11:41,988 --> 00:11:46,668 Speaker 1: The seventies had some legendary defenses. The Purple People eat, 237 00:11:47,188 --> 00:11:52,068 Speaker 1: the Orange Crush, the steel curtain. The seventy two Dolphins 238 00:11:52,148 --> 00:11:58,668 Speaker 1: defense was known as the Flying Fish Defense, the Sunshine Boys, 239 00:11:59,468 --> 00:12:04,988 Speaker 1: the Miami sac Machine. For the No Name defense, Sunshine 240 00:12:05,028 --> 00:12:07,028 Speaker 1: Boys just sounds awesome. That should have been like a 241 00:12:07,108 --> 00:12:10,548 Speaker 1: boy band back in the day, like just rocking down 242 00:12:10,588 --> 00:12:14,068 Speaker 1: off South Beach. The sack Machine. Anything that has a 243 00:12:14,188 --> 00:12:17,948 Speaker 1: machine in it just sounds intimidating. But I am going 244 00:12:18,108 --> 00:12:21,908 Speaker 1: with D the No Name defense. That's what I'm going 245 00:12:21,948 --> 00:12:24,788 Speaker 1: with for the seventy to Dolphins. Tell me I'm right. 246 00:12:25,228 --> 00:12:31,228 Speaker 1: The correct answer is D the no Name They had 247 00:12:31,228 --> 00:12:35,468 Speaker 1: one Hall of Famer Nick Banacatti. Other names included many Fernande, 248 00:12:35,628 --> 00:12:38,628 Speaker 1: number seventy five Bill Stanfield along with safety is Dick 249 00:12:38,668 --> 00:12:42,108 Speaker 1: Anderson and number fifteen Jake Scott on the Jews. Guys 250 00:12:42,188 --> 00:12:43,708 Speaker 1: tack on the Jews. That was a big play right 251 00:12:43,748 --> 00:12:45,468 Speaker 1: there in that game Week five. I want to say, 252 00:12:45,508 --> 00:12:48,428 Speaker 1: I know by seventeen Dolphins. I love there's a Week 253 00:12:48,428 --> 00:12:52,508 Speaker 1: five against Buffalo by one point twenty four, twenty three. Anyway, 254 00:12:52,548 --> 00:12:55,468 Speaker 1: that defense in the playoffs. In the playoffs, that defense, 255 00:12:55,468 --> 00:12:58,708 Speaker 1: the No Name defense fourteen seventeen and then the Super 256 00:12:58,748 --> 00:13:01,708 Speaker 1: Bowl seven, that's all they gave up one of the 257 00:13:01,748 --> 00:13:04,148 Speaker 1: best defenses. Do you ever take the field and man, 258 00:13:04,148 --> 00:13:07,388 Speaker 1: do I love seeing it and that music? Go go. 259 00:13:07,788 --> 00:13:10,268 Speaker 1: Remember this is a terrible team until Schula got there 260 00:13:10,268 --> 00:13:13,588 Speaker 1: and in his third year they go undefeated. The defense 261 00:13:13,628 --> 00:13:15,548 Speaker 1: was led the way the no Name defense Jason, great job. 262 00:13:16,068 --> 00:13:18,468 Speaker 1: I would have absolutely suckered in with the Sunshine. Sunshine 263 00:13:18,468 --> 00:13:22,348 Speaker 1: boys would have been convinced. I thought Miami's sack machine, 264 00:13:22,388 --> 00:13:23,868 Speaker 1: but that would be in Miami's sound machine was in 265 00:13:23,868 --> 00:13:25,308 Speaker 1: the eighties, so like now on that one. But maybe 266 00:13:25,308 --> 00:13:28,668 Speaker 1: Gloria took it from No No. Glorie made all our 267 00:13:28,668 --> 00:13:36,348 Speaker 1: stuff up by yourself, La Jamie. Are you ready? Okay? 268 00:13:36,428 --> 00:13:39,148 Speaker 1: Don't have to be seventy two Dolphins. They were the 269 00:13:39,228 --> 00:13:41,788 Speaker 1: first team in NFL history to have two different one 270 00:13:41,788 --> 00:13:46,668 Speaker 1: thousand yard running backs. Mercury Morris and Larry Zanka did 271 00:13:46,708 --> 00:13:49,788 Speaker 1: the job. You know. There have been four other teams 272 00:13:50,268 --> 00:13:54,588 Speaker 1: in NFL history to have two different thousand yard running backs. 273 00:13:54,588 --> 00:13:58,948 Speaker 1: Pretty cool. The most recent running back Duoti each eclipse 274 00:13:58,988 --> 00:14:03,228 Speaker 1: a thousand yards was Warwick Done and T. J. Duckett, 275 00:14:03,868 --> 00:14:08,908 Speaker 1: Brandon Jacobs and Derek Ward, Deuce Staley and Brian Westbrook, 276 00:14:09,468 --> 00:14:12,908 Speaker 1: or de'angelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart. This is a great 277 00:14:12,948 --> 00:14:17,228 Speaker 1: trivia question. I love this one the most recent lane 278 00:14:17,428 --> 00:14:21,268 Speaker 1: and hang with C and D just because I don't 279 00:14:21,308 --> 00:14:23,188 Speaker 1: know if Ducket got a thousand either.

It was his second straight season 290 00:15:00,428 --> 00:15:02,708 Speaker 1: with over a thousand yards, while Jonathan Stewart went for 291 00:15:02,748 --> 00:15:06,308 Speaker 1: a career high one thousand, one hundred and thirty three yards. 292 00:15:06,868 --> 00:15:08,868 Speaker 1: That was in two thousand and nine. Guys, Crazy Brandon 293 00:15:08,948 --> 00:15:11,348 Speaker 1: Jacobs and Derek Moore did do it. They would for 294 00:15:11,388 --> 00:15:15,108 Speaker 1: a thousand rushing yard team in eight a year before, 295 00:15:15,268 --> 00:15:17,428 Speaker 1: like this was the thing. I guess here is the 296 00:15:17,508 --> 00:15:21,388 Speaker 1: complete list in NFL history of running back Duo's twitterbo 297 00:15:21,428 --> 00:15:24,228 Speaker 1: one thousand yards about that eighty five Browns team, Macabiner, 298 00:15:24,308 --> 00:15:27,868 Speaker 1: I love that, um, And then of course in seventy 299 00:15:27,868 --> 00:15:31,948 Speaker 1: six Franco and Rocky Wire.

Lamar and mark Ingram 306 00:15:44,828 --> 00:15:46,588 Speaker 1: did it, but that's a quarterback and a running back. 307 00:15:46,628 --> 00:15:50,348 Speaker 1: They did it. And then Michael Vicken worked done did it? Quarterback? 308 00:15:50,468 --> 00:15:54,668 Speaker 1: Running back? Wow? Running back Duo?

It 332 00:17:03,388 --> 00:17:06,068 Speaker 1: was like, oh, really like Johnny And you say that's 333 00:17:06,108 --> 00:17:08,708 Speaker 1: my dad and I was like, oh, really that's incredible. 334 00:17:08,748 --> 00:17:11,068 Speaker 1: And he's like I was just in this movie called 335 00:17:11,308 --> 00:17:13,428 Speaker 1: Any Given Sunday. I'm one of the assistant coaches on 336 00:17:13,468 --> 00:17:16,708 Speaker 1: the sideline. I was like, that's amazing.

So I unless we're talking about a 340 00:17:23,948 --> 00:17:25,868 Speaker 1: different scene or different team, I believe the answer is 341 00:17:25,908 --> 00:17:28,788 Speaker 1: be Johnny United. It's incredible, It's correct, It's Johnny Unit. 342 00:17:29,388 --> 00:17:32,588 Speaker 1: That story is amazing. Unitis was one of many NFL 343 00:17:32,668 --> 00:17:34,828 Speaker 1: legends who made appearances in the movie. If you remember, 344 00:17:35,148 --> 00:17:38,748 Speaker 1: we had Jim Brown, you had Lawrence Taylor, did Emmett? Yeah, 345 00:17:38,988 --> 00:17:41,308 Speaker 1: ye had Buckets, who's the coach of the California Crusaders, 346 00:17:41,348 --> 00:17:44,348 Speaker 1: but not San Francisco California Crusaders. That team didn't even 347 00:17:44,388 --> 00:17:46,908 Speaker 1: have numbers on the front. Just cross cross that movie. 348 00:17:46,948 --> 00:17:48,828 Speaker 1: The aesthetics are so bad that can you Okay, so 349 00:17:48,868 --> 00:17:51,308 Speaker 1: you love this movie? You don't, I don't really love 350 00:17:51,348 --> 00:17:54,268 Speaker 1: you know it? Well? Okay, So when Willie Beamon here's 351 00:17:54,268 --> 00:17:56,588 Speaker 1: the other trib questions gonna when Willie Beamon ends up 352 00:17:57,148 --> 00:18:00,028 Speaker 1: going to the expansion team with Coach Demato. Do you 353 00:18:00,068 --> 00:18:02,948 Speaker 1: remember what city that team was from. I don't I 354 00:18:02,988 --> 00:18:09,028 Speaker 1: don't know the movie that well, I would say Charlotte Albuquerque. 355 00:18:09,708 --> 00:18:12,388 Speaker 1: Everything about that movie is United Kid. Did he have 356 00:18:12,428 --> 00:18:15,588 Speaker 1: the chops? What did you United Kid have some chops to? Yeah? 357 00:18:15,788 --> 00:18:17,668 Speaker 1: I think my favorite football was in the future. It's 358 00:18:17,668 --> 00:18:20,268 Speaker 1: just like it wasn't mine. Okay, neither one of us 359 00:18:20,428 --> 00:18:23,188 Speaker 1: brought home the bathtub. I love the path, all right. 360 00:18:27,308 --> 00:18:31,468 Speaker 1: There is something called the Ukrainian League of American Football. 361 00:18:31,788 --> 00:18:35,508 Speaker 1: They love football, Evan. I'm talking about hours eleven on eleven, 362 00:18:35,748 --> 00:18:38,668 Speaker 1: full pads, full uniforms, same position, same rules, same everything. 363 00:18:38,708 --> 00:18:41,908 Speaker 1: They got teams called the Patriots, teams called the Lumberjacks, 364 00:18:42,108 --> 00:18:45,188 Speaker 1: and they love it. And NFL three sixty and since 365 00:18:45,308 --> 00:18:47,908 Speaker 1: myself have been in touch with some of the players, 366 00:18:47,908 --> 00:18:50,508 Speaker 1: some of the best players in the league who lived football, 367 00:18:50,548 --> 00:18:53,268 Speaker 1: had these beautiful families, loved their teams, loved going out 368 00:18:53,308 --> 00:18:56,908 Speaker 1: for beers afterwards, just like we would hear the invasion happened. 369 00:18:57,548 --> 00:18:59,508 Speaker 1: Took off their pads and they put on their camo, 370 00:18:59,708 --> 00:19:02,468 Speaker 1: and they took their families to safety, and they went 371 00:19:02,548 --> 00:19:04,668 Speaker 1: right to the front lines. And I have been in 372 00:19:04,668 --> 00:19:07,628 Speaker 1: touch with these people for months. These amazing gentlemen who 373 00:19:07,628 --> 00:19:12,628 Speaker 1: love football and are now defending their country. That was 374 00:19:12,668 --> 00:19:15,028 Speaker 1: back in September. We did that right here on the 375 00:19:15,028 --> 00:19:17,388 Speaker 1: show at the table, and since then the four of 376 00:19:17,468 --> 00:19:21,348 Speaker 1: us have gone on to talk about the Eagles and 377 00:19:21,468 --> 00:19:24,948 Speaker 1: the Bills and the Chiefs, and the gentleman that I've 378 00:19:24,988 --> 00:19:27,588 Speaker 1: been in touch with through NFL three sixty in Ukraine 379 00:19:27,628 --> 00:19:30,068 Speaker 1: have continued to fight the war against Russia while we 380 00:19:30,068 --> 00:19:32,308 Speaker 1: were in that piece back in September, and all the 381 00:19:32,308 --> 00:19:34,108 Speaker 1: guys that I've been in touch with and sending videos 382 00:19:34,148 --> 00:19:36,628 Speaker 1: back and forth, they saw it. They really enjoyed it, 383 00:19:36,628 --> 00:19:38,468 Speaker 1: and they sent us this picture. Guys, they sent this 384 00:19:38,508 --> 00:19:41,308 Speaker 1: to Good Morning Football. Those are our guys right there. 385 00:19:41,508 --> 00:19:44,868 Speaker 1: That is Yuri on the bottom right. That is Roman 386 00:19:45,348 --> 00:19:48,388 Speaker 1: kind of center with the rifle across his chest, and 387 00:19:48,428 --> 00:19:52,708 Speaker 1: that is from the front lines of the Russian invasion 388 00:19:52,788 --> 00:19:55,508 Speaker 1: on Ukraine. But they were really really pleased and we 389 00:19:55,508 --> 00:19:57,348 Speaker 1: were able to bring them some smiles, as we had 390 00:19:57,428 --> 00:20:00,108 Speaker 1: many times throughout this Unfortunately, today is not one of 391 00:20:00,108 --> 00:20:03,868 Speaker 1: those moments. Because when we started this project and we're 392 00:20:03,868 --> 00:20:06,988 Speaker 1: starting to talk with real active soldiers who love football 393 00:20:07,068 --> 00:20:11,548 Speaker 1: in Ukraine, we knew that it was possible, likely or 394 00:20:11,588 --> 00:20:13,668 Speaker 1: even inevitable that we would lose one, and I'm so 395 00:20:13,708 --> 00:20:17,508 Speaker 1: sorry to say that we have. Danilo Bogoslavski is one 396 00:20:17,508 --> 00:20:21,548 Speaker 1: of the guys that I have spent months sending videos 397 00:20:21,588 --> 00:20:24,388 Speaker 1: with back and forth, someone who consumes our show, loves 398 00:20:24,388 --> 00:20:27,548 Speaker 1: American football. And Danilo was killed a few days ago 399 00:20:28,028 --> 00:20:33,188 Speaker 1: in combat. And it's a terrible, terrible thing, even more 400 00:20:33,188 --> 00:20:36,548 Speaker 1: so because Danilo's brother, Roman is also one of the 401 00:20:36,588 --> 00:20:39,908 Speaker 1: guys and they were both serving together. And when I 402 00:20:39,948 --> 00:20:42,668 Speaker 1: talk to these gentlemen out for six seven months, their 403 00:20:42,708 --> 00:20:45,028 Speaker 1: bottom line is always, we don't want anyone to forget 404 00:20:45,068 --> 00:20:46,948 Speaker 1: about us. We want to make sure what we're doing 405 00:20:47,548 --> 00:20:49,508 Speaker 1: is not forgotten or swept aside. So I think it's 406 00:20:49,588 --> 00:20:53,268 Speaker 1: very important and this day that we remember who Danilo 407 00:20:53,468 --> 00:20:58,508 Speaker 1: was and what he stood for. Danilo loved football. He 408 00:20:58,548 --> 00:21:01,588 Speaker 1: was a fullback in the Ukrainian League for American football, 409 00:21:02,188 --> 00:21:05,748 Speaker 1: and fullback suited his personality. All business, very tough, right 410 00:21:05,788 --> 00:21:09,148 Speaker 1: to the point. His brother Roman was the running back 411 00:21:09,868 --> 00:21:12,788 Speaker 1: and they won a championship together as brothers, which, Jason, 412 00:21:12,828 --> 00:21:15,268 Speaker 1: I know something that you could relate to. His unbelievably cool, 413 00:21:16,028 --> 00:21:18,548 Speaker 1: Like everybody else in that country. Danilo's life changed in 414 00:21:18,588 --> 00:21:22,508 Speaker 1: February when Russia invaded Ukraine, and like all his brothers 415 00:21:22,508 --> 00:21:26,228 Speaker 1: and teammates, he volunteered for the military immediately after the invasion, 416 00:21:26,268 --> 00:21:30,228 Speaker 1: as all these guys did. He and Roman deliberately chose 417 00:21:30,428 --> 00:21:34,028 Speaker 1: not to serve side by side because they were aware 418 00:21:34,108 --> 00:21:37,468 Speaker 1: of the emotional connection between the two of them, and 419 00:21:37,508 --> 00:21:40,868 Speaker 1: they were also very aware of their duty and their obligation, 420 00:21:41,228 --> 00:21:44,748 Speaker 1: and they thought that the two might conflict a little bit. 421 00:21:44,748 --> 00:21:47,988 Speaker 1: About Danilo's service, he was first stationed close to the 422 00:21:47,988 --> 00:21:51,588 Speaker 1: border near Belarus. Then over the summer, as fighting escalated, 423 00:21:51,628 --> 00:21:55,668 Speaker 1: he was sent south in southern Ukraine to the pivotal 424 00:21:55,668 --> 00:21:59,628 Speaker 1: city of Curson to free occupied territory. I want to 425 00:21:59,628 --> 00:22:01,588 Speaker 1: think about that for a second, what exactly that means. 426 00:22:01,948 --> 00:22:05,788 Speaker 1: This is part of his own country that Russian forces 427 00:22:05,788 --> 00:22:09,228 Speaker 1: had taken for themselves, and his job was to go 428 00:22:09,348 --> 00:22:14,308 Speaker 1: and get them out with force. And this past weekend, 429 00:22:14,428 --> 00:22:19,548 Speaker 1: about three days ago, it's something that we as Americans 430 00:22:19,668 --> 00:22:22,788 Speaker 1: mostly can only identify with through our movies, which is 431 00:22:23,468 --> 00:22:29,148 Speaker 1: Danilo was taking fire from a tank, a bleeping Russian tank, 432 00:22:29,748 --> 00:22:35,148 Speaker 1: and he left cover to help a wounded comrade and 433 00:22:35,308 --> 00:22:39,388 Speaker 1: was killed by the tank and died right there in service, 434 00:22:39,428 --> 00:22:44,348 Speaker 1: trying to help one of his fellow soldiers. And it's 435 00:22:44,388 --> 00:22:48,468 Speaker 1: awful and it's terrible, but it is fitting in what 436 00:22:48,588 --> 00:22:51,108 Speaker 1: I have come to know about Danilo. There is a 437 00:22:51,108 --> 00:22:55,788 Speaker 1: popular Ukrainian expression which translates loosely to who if not 438 00:22:56,028 --> 00:23:01,588 Speaker 1: us service sacrifice family aside country first? And he gave everything. 439 00:23:02,548 --> 00:23:05,788 Speaker 1: I spent months corresponding with the Nilo, with Roman, with 440 00:23:05,868 --> 00:23:11,468 Speaker 1: his brothers, with all his comrades, and it's me in 441 00:23:11,468 --> 00:23:14,508 Speaker 1: between soccer practice and picking up drive through dinner in 442 00:23:14,548 --> 00:23:17,268 Speaker 1: my T shirt and I'll send them a video and 443 00:23:17,268 --> 00:23:19,828 Speaker 1: they send me a video back of them and wreckage 444 00:23:19,988 --> 00:23:23,908 Speaker 1: with machine guns and fatigued. But I have to say 445 00:23:23,948 --> 00:23:26,668 Speaker 1: it was always amusing that I was trying to find 446 00:23:26,668 --> 00:23:29,148 Speaker 1: out what they were doing, and somehow they're trying to 447 00:23:29,148 --> 00:23:31,868 Speaker 1: find out what I'm doing. And I would say, tell 448 00:23:31,908 --> 00:23:34,628 Speaker 1: me about the war, and they would say, the war 449 00:23:34,748 --> 00:23:37,428 Speaker 1: is terrible. Tell me about the Buccaneers and it was 450 00:23:38,028 --> 00:23:42,188 Speaker 1: very sweet. And they loved football, so finally I asked them, 451 00:23:42,228 --> 00:23:44,468 Speaker 1: and we have a clip of it here. You love 452 00:23:44,548 --> 00:23:46,708 Speaker 1: football so much and you want a championship with your brother, 453 00:23:46,748 --> 00:23:49,148 Speaker 1: and you're going through this terrible thing that is so heroic. 454 00:23:49,228 --> 00:23:51,828 Speaker 1: What would it mean for you to Nilo, to get 455 00:23:51,868 --> 00:23:54,348 Speaker 1: back to football one day when all this is over 456 00:23:54,428 --> 00:23:57,828 Speaker 1: and it looked like this, What would it mean to 457 00:23:57,828 --> 00:24:03,548 Speaker 1: play football again someday you and Roman for the Lumberjacks 458 00:24:03,588 --> 00:24:08,468 Speaker 1: out there in the field, scoring touchdowns, making tackles, all 459 00:24:08,508 --> 00:24:10,148 Speaker 1: the wonderful things that you do. What would that mean 460 00:24:10,188 --> 00:24:13,468 Speaker 1: for you? I'd love to hear it. Holding football in 461 00:24:13,468 --> 00:24:19,788 Speaker 1: my hands again means Ukraine won. Everything is okay. I 462 00:24:19,788 --> 00:24:23,188 Speaker 1: can hug my love, I can hug my parents, see 463 00:24:23,228 --> 00:24:31,948 Speaker 1: my friends, walk today evening streets of my city. Danilo, 464 00:24:32,228 --> 00:24:34,428 Speaker 1: wherever you are, we respect you, We love you, to 465 00:24:35,108 --> 00:24:38,788 Speaker 1: your mother, to everyone around you, certainly to Roman. You 466 00:24:38,868 --> 00:24:42,988 Speaker 1: will not be forgotten here in the United States, here 467 00:24:43,028 --> 00:24:44,908 Speaker 1: in the NFL, here around the world. Thank you so 468 00:24:45,028 --> 00:24:48,308 Speaker 1: much for all that you do. And Dannilo, wherever you are, 469 00:24:48,348 --> 00:24:50,148 Speaker 1: I will say say what you have said to me 470 00:24:50,188 --> 00:25:05,948 Speaker 1: so many times, which is stand with Ukraine. All right. 471 00:25:05,988 --> 00:25:09,108 Speaker 1: So the Eagles beat the Cowboys in Week six, handing 472 00:25:09,148 --> 00:25:12,148 Speaker 1: Cooper Rush's first loss as a starter, But in Week seven, 473 00:25:12,228 --> 00:25:15,828 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are getting their quarterback back. With more on 474 00:25:15,988 --> 00:25:21,348 Speaker 1: that here's chance later. Encouraging news for Cowboy fans as well. 475 00:25:21,388 --> 00:25:24,428 Speaker 1: As Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott himself as head coach Mike 476 00:25:24,508 --> 00:25:27,308 Speaker 1: McCarthy told us on Wednesday that he has been medically 477 00:25:27,308 --> 00:25:30,348 Speaker 1: cleared to play now. Wednesday, they did have a walkthrough 478 00:25:30,388 --> 00:25:32,508 Speaker 1: that we weren't privy to here in the media, but 479 00:25:32,548 --> 00:25:35,508 Speaker 1: it's our understanding that it was a seventy play mock game, 480 00:25:35,908 --> 00:25:38,508 Speaker 1: and afterwards he was expected to throw about forty to 481 00:25:38,548 --> 00:25:41,508 Speaker 1: fifty footballs to his perimeter players. I did catch up 482 00:25:41,508 --> 00:25:43,548 Speaker 1: with some of his receivers in the locker room ahead 483 00:25:43,548 --> 00:25:46,108 Speaker 1: of that, and I said, how does he look. It 484 00:25:46,148 --> 00:25:48,348 Speaker 1: was Jake Ferguson, the rookie, who said, he really has 485 00:25:48,388 --> 00:25:50,788 Speaker 1: some zip on that football, and it's incredible because when 486 00:25:50,788 --> 00:25:53,388 Speaker 1: he had his own thumb injury, he couldn't even grip 487 00:25:53,428 --> 00:25:56,068 Speaker 1: a coffee cup. When I talked to Noah Brown, one 488 00:25:56,068 --> 00:25:58,948 Speaker 1: of his receivers, as well as Semi Fioco, they echoed 489 00:25:58,988 --> 00:26:01,868 Speaker 1: those sentiments. The goal is today for him to have 490 00:26:01,948 --> 00:26:04,988 Speaker 1: another big practice, and if all things let go well, 491 00:26:05,188 --> 00:26:08,068 Speaker 1: we can expect to see Dak Prescott back under center 492 00:26:08,148 --> 00:26:10,908 Speaker 1: and leading the huddle on Sunday when the Cowboys host 493 00:26:10,948 --> 00:26:13,308 Speaker 1: the one in four Lions at AT and T Stadium. 494 00:26:16,348 --> 00:26:18,468 Speaker 1: Jane It's so lovely to see Jane Slater again. Um. 495 00:26:18,508 --> 00:26:21,308 Speaker 1: The Lions are coming off a buy, losers of their 496 00:26:21,388 --> 00:26:24,028 Speaker 1: last three games. Dak maybe rusty, but the Lions are 497 00:26:24,028 --> 00:26:28,268 Speaker 1: certainly struggling on defense, which you'd think would be good 498 00:26:28,348 --> 00:26:31,068 Speaker 1: for a quarterback coming back from six week app since 499 00:26:31,148 --> 00:26:33,668 Speaker 1: due to a surgery handnist them. Jane Slater, by the way, 500 00:26:33,708 --> 00:26:36,748 Speaker 1: has a new podcast out. It's an all women's talk 501 00:26:36,988 --> 00:26:40,468 Speaker 1: podcast about the Dallas Cowboys. I know, I know, it's 502 00:26:42,428 --> 00:26:47,908 Speaker 1: um girls talk later. I mean, that's that's everything. You 503 00:26:47,908 --> 00:26:51,468 Speaker 1: gotta have the nail. It looks really great. Oh that's perfect. Um, 504 00:26:51,508 --> 00:26:54,668 Speaker 1: So let's stick with the Cowboys. Dak Prescott coming back 505 00:26:54,868 --> 00:26:57,908 Speaker 1: big week. This is an interesting way to look at 506 00:26:57,988 --> 00:27:00,028 Speaker 1: Dak because you want the expectation on him. But I 507 00:27:00,068 --> 00:27:02,988 Speaker 1: think the problem here is that you for a full 508 00:27:03,028 --> 00:27:05,468 Speaker 1: season expectation, but this is just one game and it's 509 00:27:05,468 --> 00:27:07,548 Speaker 1: been a while. The grip strength hasn't been there, hasn't 510 00:27:07,548 --> 00:27:09,748 Speaker 1: been spin the ball quite the way Jerry Jones wants 511 00:27:09,788 --> 00:27:12,348 Speaker 1: him to. So you have to really split this down 512 00:27:12,348 --> 00:27:14,708 Speaker 1: into this weekend. How does he return and make that 513 00:27:14,748 --> 00:27:18,548 Speaker 1: return as smooth as possible. The thing that lingers is 514 00:27:18,628 --> 00:27:20,788 Speaker 1: what if he comes back and they go revert back 515 00:27:20,828 --> 00:27:23,468 Speaker 1: to their Week one version where they weren't good and 516 00:27:23,508 --> 00:27:27,348 Speaker 1: the offense was sputtering, and it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. 517 00:27:27,388 --> 00:27:30,428 Speaker 1: We had this train on the tracks with Cooper Rush. 518 00:27:30,468 --> 00:27:32,428 Speaker 1: And then Dak comes back, and we know Dak is 519 00:27:32,748 --> 00:27:36,228 Speaker 1: objectively a more athletic and more skilled correct and objectively 520 00:27:36,228 --> 00:27:38,388 Speaker 1: the leader of the locker room. But we kind of 521 00:27:38,388 --> 00:27:40,628 Speaker 1: had something going. I almost think that the Eagles loss 522 00:27:41,228 --> 00:27:45,028 Speaker 1: was a good thing in general for the entire situation. 523 00:27:45,268 --> 00:27:47,788 Speaker 1: Like that shut the door on the Cooper Rush. Yeah, 524 00:27:47,988 --> 00:27:52,348 Speaker 1: it's like, Dak's our guy. Don't do too much, don't 525 00:27:52,388 --> 00:27:56,908 Speaker 1: overdo it. This defense is elite. They will shut down 526 00:27:57,428 --> 00:27:59,468 Speaker 1: Jared Goff and the Lions. And I say that, and 527 00:27:59,548 --> 00:28:01,668 Speaker 1: there's a probably a cold take coming when the Lions 528 00:28:01,708 --> 00:28:04,428 Speaker 1: went for six hundred yards, But they will and like you, 529 00:28:04,388 --> 00:28:06,068 Speaker 1: you don't have to. This is the worst defense in 530 00:28:06,068 --> 00:28:10,388 Speaker 1: the league. They're sputtering. Dak, go out there, ease into 531 00:28:10,428 --> 00:28:13,628 Speaker 1: this thing, lean on the run, game, get the w 532 00:28:13,788 --> 00:28:15,628 Speaker 1: and as we always say on Good Morning Football, the 533 00:28:15,668 --> 00:28:18,348 Speaker 1: best morning football show you'll ever see, ye Stack wins. 534 00:28:18,908 --> 00:28:21,948 Speaker 1: It's a long season. Stack wins. Doesn't have to be pretty. 535 00:28:22,068 --> 00:28:24,188 Speaker 1: Don't have to win anyone's fantasy league this week. Go 536 00:28:24,228 --> 00:28:26,548 Speaker 1: out there, get back in the rhythm, get back in 537 00:28:26,588 --> 00:28:28,668 Speaker 1: the flow. No one should ever remember this game at 538 00:28:28,668 --> 00:28:30,428 Speaker 1: the end of the season that like, we never want 539 00:28:30,468 --> 00:28:34,268 Speaker 1: to go forgettable. Remember when Dak had to pull it 540 00:28:34,268 --> 00:28:37,428 Speaker 1: out at the pairs or worse off, when Dak was 541 00:28:37,508 --> 00:28:41,028 Speaker 1: so bad coming back from against a defense that it 542 00:28:41,068 --> 00:28:42,908 Speaker 1: should not have been happening. Now, to me, this is 543 00:28:43,108 --> 00:28:45,588 Speaker 1: do less. Yeah, just get the wins and let's keep 544 00:28:45,588 --> 00:28:47,548 Speaker 1: on going, no doubt about it. The lines are last 545 00:28:47,628 --> 00:28:49,988 Speaker 1: on defense when it comes to rushing, So we're gonna 546 00:28:49,988 --> 00:28:52,628 Speaker 1: go in. We're gonna give Ezekiel Eli the ball Tony Poller. 547 00:28:52,788 --> 00:28:54,988 Speaker 1: We're gonna run the ball down the throats and pick 548 00:28:55,068 --> 00:28:57,588 Speaker 1: up yards and win the game that way, the same 549 00:28:57,628 --> 00:28:59,908 Speaker 1: way they've been winning games since Dak has been out 550 00:28:59,908 --> 00:29:02,108 Speaker 1: handing the ball off and letting the running backs do 551 00:29:02,188 --> 00:29:05,028 Speaker 1: their thing. But at the same time, just go out 552 00:29:05,028 --> 00:29:07,508 Speaker 1: there and play your game. You have to do anything crazy, 553 00:29:07,508 --> 00:29:10,308 Speaker 1: hand the ball, but when your numbers call, make the 554 00:29:10,348 --> 00:29:13,628 Speaker 1: play necessary. If Dad goes out there and plays his game, 555 00:29:13,668 --> 00:29:15,548 Speaker 1: they're running the ball they're running the ball and they 556 00:29:15,628 --> 00:29:17,908 Speaker 1: hit on some big play action passes and he's doing 557 00:29:17,908 --> 00:29:20,428 Speaker 1: this thing. Who knows he may throw for three hundred yards. 558 00:29:20,508 --> 00:29:23,228 Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. Play your game. Don't do anything 559 00:29:23,268 --> 00:29:25,508 Speaker 1: crazy like you said, Peter, we don't want to go 560 00:29:25,548 --> 00:29:28,108 Speaker 1: in reinvent the wheel now. Next thing, you know, we're 561 00:29:28,108 --> 00:29:31,468 Speaker 1: throwing thirty passes, but no going there fifteen to twenty 562 00:29:31,468 --> 00:29:33,988 Speaker 1: passes this game. But who knows if he lights it 563 00:29:34,068 --> 00:29:37,508 Speaker 1: up because they're making plays all the merrier. Do your thing, 564 00:29:37,628 --> 00:29:40,028 Speaker 1: Play your game. Don't feel like you have to hold 565 00:29:40,028 --> 00:29:42,708 Speaker 1: back because this is the first game back, full week 566 00:29:42,708 --> 00:29:46,268 Speaker 1: of practice. You're healthy, go out there and plays. So 567 00:29:46,708 --> 00:29:52,988 Speaker 1: Stack wins. But dak is back and Dallas Cowboys we're 568 00:29:53,068 --> 00:29:58,548 Speaker 1: lighting the sky. Listen this side in the DNA very pragmatic. 569 00:29:58,988 --> 00:30:02,388 Speaker 1: It's pragmatic. It sounds great, it's it's boring. You ever 570 00:30:02,388 --> 00:30:05,668 Speaker 1: seen pragmatism from the Dallas cow Boys in their history, Peter, 571 00:30:06,028 --> 00:30:08,468 Speaker 1: this is not like I understand the Cooper rush. Built 572 00:30:08,468 --> 00:30:10,788 Speaker 1: on defense in the run game. I've seen a lot 573 00:30:10,828 --> 00:30:13,468 Speaker 1: of great defensive players over the last twenty five years. 574 00:30:13,508 --> 00:30:16,348 Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's sizzle in the show, baby, what 575 00:30:16,428 --> 00:30:20,108 Speaker 1: are you talking about? You're right, yeah, they're wrong, But 576 00:30:20,148 --> 00:30:22,428 Speaker 1: you don't run the business. You don't run the team. 577 00:30:23,268 --> 00:30:25,828 Speaker 1: I feel like it might be bombs away. I think 578 00:30:25,868 --> 00:30:29,028 Speaker 1: it's like where Dak is back, we will now relaunch 579 00:30:29,108 --> 00:30:33,108 Speaker 1: the Cowboys Enterprises, Jamie. I hope I'm wrong, but I 580 00:30:33,108 --> 00:30:35,788 Speaker 1: feel like mister Jones has been waiting six weeks for 581 00:30:35,828 --> 00:30:37,868 Speaker 1: this and he wants a sixty burger to put up 582 00:30:37,868 --> 00:30:39,828 Speaker 1: there and loosen some merchant. Well kind of seems like 583 00:30:39,868 --> 00:30:42,908 Speaker 1: the master is here, Like, I know, is it a 584 00:30:42,948 --> 00:30:45,268 Speaker 1: head coach or is it the owner. We talked about 585 00:30:45,308 --> 00:30:47,068 Speaker 1: this on Monday a little bit and just what the 586 00:30:47,108 --> 00:30:49,908 Speaker 1: Cowboys can do if he does indeed return, and I 587 00:30:49,948 --> 00:30:51,788 Speaker 1: brought up Ceedee Lamb and I took some heat on 588 00:30:51,828 --> 00:30:54,108 Speaker 1: social media about this because people are like, remember I 589 00:30:54,388 --> 00:30:58,188 Speaker 1: had numbers about Dak Prescott throwing to Ceedee Lamb and 590 00:30:58,228 --> 00:31:00,068 Speaker 1: the fact that it was you know, the numbers didn't 591 00:31:00,108 --> 00:31:01,868 Speaker 1: look great, and people were quick to remind me, like, 592 00:31:02,068 --> 00:31:03,708 Speaker 1: what is she a fool? A Maria Cooper was there 593 00:31:03,828 --> 00:31:05,588 Speaker 1: last year? No, I get that, But the point is, 594 00:31:05,628 --> 00:31:08,148 Speaker 1: in the offseason, a Marie Cooper goes to Cleveland and 595 00:31:08,188 --> 00:31:10,228 Speaker 1: now Cedee Lamb is the guy, and they've had no 596 00:31:10,308 --> 00:31:12,588 Speaker 1: time together to act. Press on CD Lamb to show 597 00:31:12,628 --> 00:31:14,828 Speaker 1: us what QB one to what receiver one looks like, 598 00:31:15,108 --> 00:31:17,308 Speaker 1: and so moving forward. I know the numbers were skewed 599 00:31:17,348 --> 00:31:20,628 Speaker 1: because Marie Cooper was there, but this begins the time. 600 00:31:20,988 --> 00:31:23,028 Speaker 1: You know, let's work on like our zero to ten 601 00:31:23,148 --> 00:31:27,148 Speaker 1: zero two fifteen yard connections with Amari Cooper and developed 602 00:31:27,148 --> 00:31:29,708 Speaker 1: this offense. Again, it's not just about this weekend. It's 603 00:31:29,708 --> 00:31:32,748 Speaker 1: about Dak coming back, being healthy and not bombs away 604 00:31:32,908 --> 00:31:35,548 Speaker 1: and making sure this offense is rolling in a way 605 00:31:35,588 --> 00:31:39,508 Speaker 1: that come Thanksgiving and that special Christmas Eve game that 606 00:31:39,628 --> 00:31:42,148 Speaker 1: we're still talking about the Cowboys in a way that 607 00:31:42,148 --> 00:31:42,628 Speaker 1: we want to be
