Speaker 1: around the league where the Cowboys ranking, some some statistical categories,

00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,760

Speaker 1: a little later in the show, we're gonna actually get

16
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: into evaluating each of the positions for the Cowboys and

Speaker 1: talk about our confidence meter at each position. Let these

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: guys tell us what they think that after two games,

19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: how they're feeling about each of these positions. Groups. All right,

20
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: so we're gonna do that. It should be fun show.

21
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: Let's let's jump right in. Let's first hit some news.

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: Bryce Butler, his name's all over the news today and

23
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: has been over the news yesterday and today with the

24
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: possibility that the Cowboys will be signing him. What do

25
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: you guys know at this point, Well, Dallas Cowboys dot

26
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: Com doesn't have anything yet. ESPN doesn't have anything. Uh,

27
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: you know, the four Worth Star Telegram, Dallas Mooring News.

28
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's got anything official but the Duffington Post.

29
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: But the Duffington Post. Bryce Butler himself announced that um release,

30
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: posted a picture of himself in this Cowboys uniform, said

31
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: it's a done deal. God is good. You can always

32
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: count on Bryce to hype himself up, man. So I mean,

33
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's fun. It's funny. I really the mechanations

34
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: of this, you know, like officially, obviously they you can

35
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: clear a roster spot in two seconds, but officially, like

36
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: a foster spot is not open for him, and the

37
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: team would probably prefer to do it a different way.

38
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: But Bryce Butler is gonna Bryce Butler, so kind of

39
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: let us all know that he's back. So okay, let's

40
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: assume we're a second. Let's assume for a second, that

41
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: Bryce's report is accurate. Let's assume that he got the

42
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: right the right report. Um, what what kind of role

43
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: could he play on this team? What are you expecting

44
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: his role to be? I mean, they've got a bunch

45
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: of receivers that are kind of the same type of guy.

46
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: Is he the same type of guy that middle mid

47
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: level kind of wide receiver. I think what you're seeing though,

48
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: is that there's an effort to get more speed on

49
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: this team, and u Tavon Austin obviously in the acquisition there,

50
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: and then Deontay Thompson. He's not only on the team,

51
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: but he's having a bigger role in the offense. You're

52
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: seeing him make some plays, makes some catches, and then

53
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: you know to add Bryce Butler. That's what he does.

54
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: He extends the the the offense a little bit more

55
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: so to answer your question, you know, basically what you're

56
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: saying is who's who's he taking? Whose spot is he

57
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 1: taking on the field? Um or roll or role player? Yeah,

58
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: I mean right now that they'll have seven receivers. I

59
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: think you know, we've talked about this a little bit

60
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: and not to get into it, but you know, there

61
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: may not be seven receivers on this team comes Sunday,

62
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,119
Speaker 1: so we'll see what happens there. I think you kind

63
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: of know who, but just by judging who's playing and

64
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: see kind of who could be an odd man out

65
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: however way that is. But I think that they want

66
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: to get more vertical in the passing game, and I

67
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: think Bryce is a good guy to do it. I

68
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: also think and no way to. I think he's just

69
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: gonna step in here and like play the same amount

70
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: of snaps that like Dez would have. But he's probably

71
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: the closest thing to like a real ex body type

72
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: that you have here. Now. I mean we always said

73
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: that about Alan Hearns, but I think Bryce is a

74
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: I don't like using the word thick, but like he's

75
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: thicker and more physical I think than Alan Hern's probably

76
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: and we I mean, they don't really do the back

77
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: shoulder ball anymore, but he's a guy that can do

78
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: that type of stuff. So he's the closest thing to

79
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: like a protocol prototypical like outside the numbers receiver among

80
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: these guys, I believe among the faster guys for sure. Yeah. Well,

81
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: well Noah Brown can't play right now. He's on IR

82
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: so yeah, he Um, you know, if he had enough

83
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: catches to qualify, he would have ranked I think third

84
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: in the NFL last year in in average per catch

85
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: Bryce at around nineteen nineteen point six or something. I

86
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: get it. You have to do it over of course,

87
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: you know. Um, I think the guy in Detroit led

88
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: the league last year, and Marvin Jones he's still in Detroit, Yeah,

89
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones. But yeah, but I mean it's that, Um,

90
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: he's got some big playability and he's done it here.

91
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: I mean a couple times in that Arizona game. I remember,

92
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: that's probably one of the reasons they signed him. And

93
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: he had a really a couple of nice catches in there.

94
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: Dakka was rolling right and and throws it up. He's

95
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: a big target, like you said, and he's easier to see.

96
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: And I think he'll he'll be good in whatever role

97
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: that they use him, and I think it'll be a

98
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: down field threat. It was obviously a reason why the

99
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys didn't sign him back when he was a free agent.

100
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: What's changed. I mean, it's a situation where right now

101
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: they just like they want to get another body in here,

102
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: if somebody that maybe knows the offense you know, or

103
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: is a situation where just the money didn't where he

104
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: thought higher of himself at that point. Well, he always

105
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: thinks higher of himself. I mean, he told me before

106
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: the Arizona preseason game that he would be starting in Arizona.

107
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: But even though he's going to play tonight and play

108
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: into the third quarter of it, you were talking about

109
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: that preseason game and he didn't start and didn't make

110
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: the team, and so he always sad. He just to say, yes,

111
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: Skip Bayless, I'm gonna come on your show and I'm

112
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: gonna talk about Dez and all this stuff. I mean,

113
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: I think it was just like, all right, there's no

114
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: room for him here. But what's changed, Well, this summer changed,

115
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: and what they thought they could get out of Terrence

116
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: Williams hasn't happened. He got hurt, he wasn't in the offseason.

117
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: He did not have a good offseason off the field. Obviously.

118
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: I don't think that's over yet. And so now Terrence

119
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: Williams isn't providing anything, you know, for there. So there's

120
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: one thing Alan Hearns. I don't know if has been

121
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: lighting the world on fire. I don't know if they're

122
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: super excited about him and Gallop is still developing, So

123
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: I just think that there's a need for a veteran

124
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: type of guy. Yeah, I don't disagree with any of that. Um,

125
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: even with all that being true, Like I don't, I

126
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: don't hate this signing. And Bryce definitely flashed some big

127
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: play potential. But Cowboys clearly didn't view him as a

128
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: priority last year, and I think the year before that

129
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: they only even brought him back because they didn't think

130
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: they could get Terrence back. He was their insurance policy,

131
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: which I don't know that was a bad one, that

132
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: it is what it is, But what was a bad one?

133
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: Terrence or him Terence? But see the thing about it

134
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: was you can say now that it was bad, and

135
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying it, but I know we were all surprised

136
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: at the contract and how low it was exactly to

137
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: be able to get him at the numbers that they

138
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: got him, I don't think was necessarily a bad Brian

139
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: brought us says it all the time, and he was

140
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: right on this one. You don't fall in love with

141
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: your team and don't fall in love with the fact

142
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: that Terrence Williams is so great and you got to

143
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: get him with thirty one. Other teams were like, we're

144
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: not paying him anywhere close to that, and we don't

145
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: want to sign him at all, and they did, and

146
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: so I mean, and now they're kind of stuck with

147
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: it for now. Yeah what I was gonna say, I mean, yeah, whatever,

148
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: I'll just own it. I'd rather go big and give

149
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: up a fifth round pick for Josh Gordon than do

150
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: this and all, honestly, yeah I would. And I get

151
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: that it might blow up in your face. But like

152
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: Bryce Butler caught forty three balls in three seasons here,

153
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: Like I think his career high was nineteen or twenty.

154
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, the this isn't gonna boom. I

155
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: really doubt it's gonna boom. He's probably he's gonna be

156
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: Bryce Butler, like he's gonna be He'll get some snaps,

157
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: he'll make some big plays. And I don't know what

158
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon's gonna do. And maybe that would blow up

159
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: in their face, but it's a fifth round pick, a

160
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: guy that has at least the potential to be a

161
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: real difference maker and a guy that can clean out

162
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: the box, like a guy that I really think defenses

163
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: will probably key on more than any other receiver on

164
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: this team. And I know you know, Randy Gregory's here,

165
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: David Irving will be here in a couple of weeks.

166
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: The receiver's room is young, and I know that you

167
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: know you got a rookie and Michael Gallup who you

168
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: probably want good influences around. But it is a very

169
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: low cost and a very higher reward. And you know,

170
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: I'm not going to kill him too much for doing it, because,

171
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: like I said, I get it, there's a lot of

172
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: concerns there. But if you're going to sign a guy

173
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: who isn't expensive and has a chance of failing, I'd

174
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: rather go big than just bring back the guy that

175
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: you didn't like last year. Yeah, I get your point.

176
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: And I that's when I'm kind of struggling with because

177
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: I agree with you from that standpoint that that's one

178
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: of those risks is like, well, the upside is so

179
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: big that you really kind of want to see if

180
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: you want to take that chance, like it might be

181
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: worth taking the chance. I also look at it from

182
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: the other that this is a guy that hasn't consistently

183
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: been on the field for two years, three three years,

184
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: which and so the likelihood that at this point now

185
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: he's got all of a sudden get it all right

186
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: and be able to consistently be on the field. For

187
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: you is probably you're you're probably shooting in the dark, right,

188
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: I mean, so, so who knows whether he'll he'll be

189
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: able to even play in New England there? Don't you

190
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: think something happened. Don't you think something happened in Cleveland

191
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: where I mean, the word on the street is that

192
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: he misled the front office and strained his hamstring shooting

193
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: a commercial on a Friday night when he wasn't supposed

194
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: to be, which to me and and I don't know

195
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: everything and clear like that, dude's got so much baggage

196
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: I get. And that's why I'm not gonna sit here

197
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: and shout fire and brimstone that I think this is

198
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: just the dumbest decision ever. There's plenty of reasons not

199
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: to do this, And honestly, I mean, it reminds me

200
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: of the Greg Hardy situation where you took a gamble.

201
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: Not only did it not really pay off, but it

202
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: was a bad influence on a lot of the guys

203
00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: in there. But I think the issues that I know

204
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: about marijuana smoking, I think that's it's easier to manage

205
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: than than very extreme and bad legal issues. In my opinion, UM,

206
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: I feel like the Randy Gregory situation is, you know,

207
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: affecting that move. You know, let's not say that the

208
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys may maybe Cleveland didn't want to draft them or

209
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: trade them to anywhere else. I maybe that's what they want,

210
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: Maybe they have the best offer. Maybe the Cowboys did

211
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: send the same type of thing. But I just feel like,

212
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: you know, the Cowboys haven't I mean, Randy Gregory's not

213
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: out of the out of the woods here. I mean,

214
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: they never won all the time, it never will be,

215
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: so you're already dealing with that. I think it's questionable

216
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: to say that the Cowboys have you know, I mean, yes,

217
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: they've helped him, but he's again it's it's a it's

218
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: a process here. I don't just don't know if adding

219
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon helps with that. And another of those two

220
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: of them, you're right about David Irving. Really three of them,

221
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: three guys like that, and I mean great upside. I

222
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: just feel like Cleveland's been so patient with this. Something

223
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: happened to the point where they're just like, we gotta

224
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 1: wash our hands at this. So I wouldn't be surprised

225
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: if you might be right. I don't know. That's I

226
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: always say these things can't be black and white. Like

227
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: I can say that I would have maybe I can

228
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: say that I would have done it. And I'm a

229
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: little disappointed that the Cowboys didn't do it, But I

230
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: certainly understand the logic. I don't think that they're stupid

231
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: for not doing it. There's plenty of reasons not to

232
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: do it, but I looked at it. I'm going to

233
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: steal a line from a Redskins reporter actually, which this

234
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: is crazy. Josh Gordon's big year, sixteen hundred yards all

235
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: that good stuff was the same year that Robert Griffin

236
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: was coming back from his acl there it's ancient history.

237
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: Having said that, in his two seasons that he has

238
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: been a part of since then, he's played five games

239
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: in each of them, averaged around eighteen yards per catch

240
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: in each of them. And I did the math had

241
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 1: he played sixteen games, the math on his season is

242
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 1: about a thousand yards, about sixty seventy catches in a

243
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: thousand yards sixteen games. So it is a huge gamble

244
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: that you can count on him for sixteen games. But

245
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: in the small sample sizes, he was still putting up

246
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: better numbers than most of the guys in this locker room.

247
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: Do you know what I hear out of all that,

248
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: and it really saddened me is that essentially this guy

249
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: had the potential to maybe be absolute best to ever

250
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: do it absolutely basically just threw it away. And that's

251
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: that's sad to me, because you know, it's rare that

252
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: anybody gets stat level of talent, you know, which I

253
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: remember him at Baylor when I was really following that team,

254
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: and I remember him as a young guy that that

255
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 1: they were like, the coaches were like, you know, if

256
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: we can just get him the Saturday, we just get

257
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: him to the games, you know, he could be He's unbelievable.

258
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: He doesn't really know any of the plays, but of

259
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: course at Baylor, in that system, you don't really need

260
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: to because you're seeing a lot of those receivers that

261
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: are doing great things. They're not even in the leg

262
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: I mean they cut Corey Coleman in the first round

263
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: pick to make room for him. Yeah, so we're not

264
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: even talking about Corey Coleman. Like the Cowboys have no

265
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: no interest. He doesn't learn the offense. I mean, Terrence,

266
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: give Terrence credit. He actually he might be other than

267
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon, but he might might be the best one.

268
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean, kendall Right has been pretty good in the league, right,

269
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: I'd say consistently kindall Right has probably been the best

270
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: because he's been at least consistent, you know. I mean,

271
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: Kay Cannon, you know, put up great numbers, you know.

272
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: But but my point is is that he was Josh

273
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: Gordon so freakishly talented, and he came into people saw

274
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: him one hard knocked. You know, he was like, I

275
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: don't I know these plays? I know these plays, and

276
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: he caught a great touchdown against Pittsburgh, and I mean,

277
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: but I just feel like there's they know more than anything,

278
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: and I feel like something maybe coming down the road.

279
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: You might be right and well, to bring it back

280
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: full circle, Bryce is a much safer signing and he's

281
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: probably gonna make much safer contributions to the team. Like DJ.

282
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he can already d I'll be shocked if

283
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: his numbers this go around are drastically better than the

284
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: first two, which that's fine. He's he will play a

285
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: role in the offense. He will make some plays that

286
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: get you excited, but you know, I don't think Bryce

287
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: Butler is going to finish with a thousand yards for

288
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: this team. All right, we're gonna check our first break.

289
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: When we come back, We're gonna talk a little bit

290
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: about where the cawboy any ranking around the league, and

291
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: some interesting categories pass offense, pass defense, a lot of

292
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: those different categories. There's some interesting things in note there.

293
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: We'll get into that we come right back. This is

Speaker 1: eight eight five five two two nine seven. We'll take

344
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: your calls that way. Let's talk a little bit about

345
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: how the Cowboys are ranking around the league. I went

346
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: to look up a few stats just to see where

347
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys rank, and it seems very apparent. I don't

348
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: know that it's something we don't already know. But defense

349
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: league rank really high and a lot of categories. Offensively

350
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: they rank really low and a lot of categories very

351
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: similar to what we've already seen on the field. And again,

352
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,479
Speaker 1: I think we could have all predicted this. But let

353
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: me just throw some of these numbers out there, and

354
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: I want to get your reaction. Passing offense, Cowboys right

355
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: now are thirtieth in the league, only generating one hundred

356
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: and forty nine yards per game through the air. Rushing

357
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: offense eleventh in the league. Not horrible, but certainly not

358
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: where you would think they would be with the rushing

359
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: attack that they have, only getting one hundred and sixteen

360
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: yards per game through the first two games yards and offensively,

361
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: they're thirtieth in the league again, only two hundred and

362
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: sixty five yards per game. Scoring offense twenty ninth in

363
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: the league, only getting fourteen points per game. You look

364
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: at those offensive numbers, are you any more concerned than

365
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: you were before seeing where they rank relative to other

366
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL. I'm gonna say no, I'm just

367
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sound like a grumpy old man, because like

368
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: I didn't need to hear the rank kings to know

369
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: it was bad. I mean, you finish with less than

370
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: two hundred passing yards in the NFL two weeks in

371
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: a row, you're gonna be near the bottom. Because this

372
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: is a past happy league, So I'm not surprised to

373
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: hear that. I would have guessed that they were somewhere

374
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: between twenty five and thirty two. It's not good, but

375
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm not anymore. I don't feel any differently about it

376
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: having heard that. Yeah, and also, you know they go

377
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: hand in hand because the defensive stats, I don't know,

378
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: you haven't named those yet, but I'm sure that they're

379
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: really good. And sometimes I remember there was a few

380
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: years back where this team wasn't very good at all,

381
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: but their defense was good, and therefore, you know, they

382
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: weren't giving a lot of you know, they were getting

383
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: some some short fields. Now that really hasn't happened a

384
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: lot this year. But when your defense is good and

385
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: you're getting off the field and you know your offense

386
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: doesn't have a long ways to go, and then if

387
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: they're not going anywhere with it, you know what I mean,

388
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,239
Speaker 1: they're only going fifteen twenty yards and getting a field goal,

389
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: So sometimes those those can kind of affect each other.

390
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: Rowing two games to this, but I agree with Dave.

391
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: We don't need stats to know the defense playing well.

392
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: The offense isn't. They're not sustaining drives there. I mean, yeah,

393
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: so in the NFL, three three hundred is what you're

394
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: looking for to feel good about the offense, right, total yards, Yeah,

395
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: I mean three hundred is what you're looking for to

396
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: start to feel good. And then three thirties a good day.

397
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: Three fifties a really good day. If you're pushing four hundreds,

398
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: you did awesome. They had two thirty two in week

399
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 1: one and two fifty five in week two. I mean,

400
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,239
Speaker 1: that's that's bad. That's like I said, there's no way

401
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: around it. Um And even obviously those things go hand

402
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: in hand, but the running game hasn't been what we've

403
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: been used to. I mean, even in this game, what

404
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: what was the final tally? One thirty eight? One one

405
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: thirty eight's pretty good, But for what this team has done,

406
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: you see Zeke with one thirty and then another thirty

407
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: on top of that, Like this team pushes one fifty

408
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: one sixty one eighty and they haven't even doing that

409
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: partially because the passing game hasn't been there. So, so

410
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: are you guys at all concerned about the running game,

411
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: because I think we kind of all expected coming into

412
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: this season and maybe the passing offense would not be

413
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: as good as maybe what you saw a few years

414
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: ago because they had so much transition. There were so

415
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: many new parts in new places, and you weren't necessarily

416
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: convinced that the coordinator would know how to use all

417
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 1: the right pieces, especially at the beginning of the season,

418
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: or you'd all can start to know what the running

419
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: part of the offense. I mean, yeah, I think so.

420
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: It's not they're not overpowering people, and I think there's

421
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons for it. I think it's the

422
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: fact that they you know, you don't have to I mean,

423
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: teams don't have to get beat up like that because

424
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: they're just not gonna get you know, they don't feel

425
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: like they're gonna get beaten over the top. You gotta

426
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: keep doing that with Tavon Austin, you gotta keep doing

427
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: it now with Deonte, if Bryce is in here, you

428
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: gotta do that. That's got to be the way that

429
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 1: they They're not their intermmediate passing game is not going

430
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: to be there because that's not a strength, and they

431
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: don't have a tied end that could help and really

432
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: do anything. I think it tied end that could they

433
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: could turn around, get open after twelve and fifteen yards,

434
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: get up the field. They missed that they really do.

435
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you can say what you want about Jason

436
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: Witten not being what he was, but they don't have

437
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: a guy that can really Swayne hasn't showed it yet.

438
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he can't do it, but he hasn't

439
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: shown it yet, and they haven't shown that part of

440
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: the offense. I think that tight end game is really

441
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: affecting a lot of things with this offense. I feel

442
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: pretty good all things considered, because the passing game was

443
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: not great the other night, Like it was serviceable, but again,

444
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: like if you don't even throw for two hundred yards

445
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL, that's not anything anybody should be proud of.

446
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: But they ran for one thirty eight. Zeke averaged four

447
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: point six, and they averaged five point five as a team,

448
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: and that's against you know, we talked all last week. No,

449
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: the Giant's front seven isn't as good as it has

450
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: been in recent years. Olivier Vernon wasn't there, but we talked.

451
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 1: You know, Landon Collins was down in the box. They

452
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: were going to try to put the game in Dax

453
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: hands and they couldn't one hundred percent do it. I mean,

454
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: the Cowboys ran for fifty yards on that final drive

455
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: the game, the one that put the game away, and

456
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: like I said, they average five and a half yards

457
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: per carry. So if you can do that against the Giants,

458
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good that you can do it against

459
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: all but a handful of teams, and I mean the

460
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: Panthers being one of them. I mean, you talk, you

461
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: got all Pro defensive tackles and a guy like Luke Keekley.

462
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: You can definitely take it away. But I think there's

463
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 1: way more teams in the league that can't than those

464
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: that can. It's interesting you bring that up because I

465
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: did go and look at the teams that Cowboys have

466
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: to play, and let's talk about it from this standpoint.

467
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: If you look at the rushed game, for example, of

468
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: the eleven teams that Cowboys have left on their regular

469
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: season schedule, four of those teams two of those teams

470
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: they have to play twice, but four of those teams

471
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: have a top ten rush defense right now. Now, of

472
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: course we've only had two games. A lot of that's

473
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: dictated about who you play this early in the season,

474
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: but Philadelphia's first, Tampa Bay second, Indianapolis's ninth, Washington is tenth.

475
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: So when you start talking about defenses that you think

476
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,719
Speaker 1: could give you problems against your running attack, it remains

477
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: to be seen. But at least for right now, four

478
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: of those teams that you have to play in the

479
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: final eleven teams you play have top ten defenses against

480
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: the run. Yeah, I think I've never really been a

481
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: big fan of looking at numbers like this this early

482
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: and no offense to that, but just because one of

483
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: the reasons why, you know, let's say, people can say, well,

484
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: the Rams haven't really played any good offenses yet, like

485
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders and the and the Cardinals. Well, one of

486
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: the reasons they're not a good offense is because they

487
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: played the Rams. You know, the Rams put them in

488
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: that boat, you know, And it's kind of like when

489
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: they say this early in the year, you haven't beat

490
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: the team with a winning record, Well, it's because we

491
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: beat you, you know that. That's one of the reasons.

492
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: So I think it's still early for that, um. But

493
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: but we can kind of, you know, use the eye

494
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,719
Speaker 1: test on this stuff, and we we kind of can

495
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: see who's good and who isn't. And and I don't

496
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: I think it's it's a little bit of reason to

497
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: be concerned that they can't do what they want all

498
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: the time, you know, but if they can throw them

499
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: I think throwing the ball deeper like that, I mean,

500
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: they made an effort to do it. And I've never

501
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: understood Garrett saying, well, you know it's in the offense.

502
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: We've tried call it. I mean, get it blocked. You know,

503
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: your guys can block, your receiver can run, and your

504
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: quarterback can throw throw it. I just don't understand why

505
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: you can't ever throw it. And they did. They did.

506
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: They just threw it some. They caught one a couple, didn't,

507
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: you know. And then later in the game you saw

508
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: Zeke had a little bit more openings. I think I

509
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: think there's something to that. It's not that hard really

510
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: throw it, as Randy Moss would say, just throw it.

511
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: I will say this though, and I agree with you,

512
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: from the standpoint of the numbers this early. The one

513
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: thing that does concern me just a bit though, and

514
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: we'll keep an eye on this as the season progresses.

515
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: But we talked about that rush defense number. When you

516
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: look at that past the past defenses that you'll have

517
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: to face right now, there's six of the eleven teams

518
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: that you have to play that have top ten past defense.

519
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: It is Washington at number one, It's New York at

520
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: number two you've already face. It's Detroit at number four,

521
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: Caroline at seven, Jacksonville at nine. They'll probably have finished

522
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: the season at one. I would guess at Atlanta at ten.

523
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 1: I get it. Why, here's the point. Here's the point

524
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 1: I'll make about this. The one interesting thing about me.

525
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: There are a couple teams on here that have the

526
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: kind of offenses where you have to throw the ball

527
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 1: to keep up. I think Detroit has an offense like

528
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: that where you have to score and you're gonna have

529
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: to pass the ball in order to keep up. I

530
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: think Atlanta's like that. So you would think that these

531
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: are games whether their opponents are also throwing the ball

532
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 1: a lot and probably have to throw up pretty well. Right,

533
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: let me let me I'm just let me just be

534
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: the I'm gonna stick with the old man. Thing here

535
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: because I'm I don't really, I don't buy any of

536
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: this crap until after like five or six weeks, I think,

537
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: like two games with such a small sample size. Who

538
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: the Redskins open to the season against Arizona like they

539
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: are a second who? I mean, of course you, I

540
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: hope you had a good pass defense against them. And

541
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: I'm not saying there. I'm not saying no, no, no, Fortunately,

542
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Buffalo. Unfortunately, I am not saying they're

543
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: not good. That they might be the best secondary in

544
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: the history of the game. But this is not a

545
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: big enough second sample size for me to care. Really,

546
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: the only thing I know for sure, because I've seen

547
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: it happen ten times in my career covering the Cowboys,

548
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: is the Eagles are going to be a problem as

549
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: long as Fletcher Cox is there. Like they're gonna be

550
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: a problem. They've shut down the Cowboys running game year

551
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: after year. They did it when DeMarco was here, They've

552
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: done it when Zeke was here. I know that's going

553
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: to be a deal. Other than that, I need more

554
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: time because but but you know what, what was it

555
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: last year? Somebody somebody on the Cowboys schedule last year

556
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: was super proud of their run defense. I don't remember

557
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: who it was, but it was like all we talked

558
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: about going into the game and they just it was embarrassing.

559
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: Like two years ago, it happened back to back games

560
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: at Green Bay. Maybe that's what oh, Cincinnati, and it

561
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: was like the yeah, maybe that's what I'm thinking of,

562
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: like the Packers were. It was like a historic low,

563
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: like nobody's ever given a fewer rushing yards to start

564
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: a see thirty four years. Yeah, and they in the

565
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: first drive. It was embarrassing. So and again, some of

566
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: these trends are going to prove to be true. That's

567
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: not my point. It's just that we don't know enough

568
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: yet for me to sit here and and act like

569
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: these stats are gospel. All I know right now is

570
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: that the passing game's gotta get a lot better for

571
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: this team to be balanced enough to win games. I

572
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: think we're seeing that just how you know, good Travis

573
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: Frederick you know has been for this team in this offense. Um,

574
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: I don't think Looney's been a problem, not really, no,

575
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: but he hasn't been the best, right and I think

576
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: that that's you know, does he give up a lot

577
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: of sacks. No, but is he pushing the guy off

578
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: the ball and doing the things and open up this

579
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: You know, he's not hurting you, but I don't know

580
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: how much he's helping you the run game, Yeah, because

581
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: where you see and the calls and we just just

582
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: just seeing just recognizing, Okay, the linebackers here, we're gonna

583
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: shift this thing here. I don't know. And now no,

584
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: Zach is out actually helping with some of the calls

585
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: as well, but that's it's better for the center to

586
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: do it. Um. I don't know if Travis is going

587
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: to come back. I really don't. And if he does,

588
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if he'll be the same.

589
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 1: I don't not not this year. I know, was it

590
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: Shlais Who's yeah March. He said it took him a

591
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: while to get out though, for a year, and then

592
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 1: it took him a while. And maybe it's just a

593
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: psychological thing. Yeah that I know this. But if you

594
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: look at Travis Frederick, he doesn't look the same right now,

595
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: just a little body type, just looks like he's lost

596
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: some of the strength. I could be dead wrong there,

597
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 1: but maybe because I'm just kind of noticed it. You know,

598
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: even if you don't notice it. Like I said it

599
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: at the start of the season, and I still believe it.

600
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: And the more games we get into this thing, the

601
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: more I feel like I was right, which is, you

602
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: know why, like you probably could have just put this

603
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: guy on ir you know, And that's not a knock

604
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: on him. I know he wants to be out there,

605
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: but we're about he's not gonna play week three, so

606
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna you're almost halfway through the window for I

607
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: R And Jerry Jones said Sunday, there's still no timetable.

608
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: I think Travis last talked to us two weeks ago

609
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: and said he was still experiencing numbness in his hands

610
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: and feet. I mean, is that sound like a guy

611
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: who's gonna be ready to play? And that's why, again,

612
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: it's not a knock on him. I think the world

613
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: of him. I hope he recovers one hundred percent, but

614
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: just like, just take football out of it for a

615
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: little while and don't just put him on the shelf,

616
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: which I don't and I don't know if that's something

617
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna do, but I don't get the feeling like

618
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna help you anytime they lift every week. You know,

619
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,719
Speaker 1: they go in there on Fridays and that's part of

620
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: their and this is during the season. He obviously hasn't

621
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: been able to do that. And if he can't feel

622
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: his hands in some of his feet, he's not gonna

623
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: be lifting weight. So I mean he's gonna he's not

624
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: in football shape right now, and I just think it's

625
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: gonna take a little bit. So the point is there.

626
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: You can get excited about Randy Gregory coming back on defense.

627
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: He can get excited if he wanted about David Irving

628
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: coming back. But just like we're doing all this without Frederick,

629
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're gonna get Frederick back, and

630
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: if you are, I don't know if he'll be the same.

631
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: One thing, one more thing I want to hit before

632
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: we take our final break. Um. I don't think any

633
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: of us expected at this point of the season we

634
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: would have three three games in a row where the

635
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys will face teams at at this moment don't have

636
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: a win. Next week, you go this week, we go

637
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: to Seattle and they'll face the Seahawks. Then they have

638
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: a game against Detroit at home was also owing two.

639
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: Then they go on the road to Houston, who was

640
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: also Owen two. I think most of us probably thought

641
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: that at least Seattle and Houston would be pretty good

642
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: this year so far, that has not that has not

643
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: reflected in their records. That being said, of those next

644
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: three games, which one do you think is the most

645
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: troublesome for the Cowboys Of those oh and two teams

646
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: that they'll face over the next three weeks, I would say, um, Seattle.

647
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: I think that's because of place. That's part of it.

648
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: I mean, not that they haven't won there, but I

649
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: just don't feel like it's it's a I just think

650
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: the whole setting of it is gonna be gonna be tough.

651
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,479
Speaker 1: I mean, talking about O two team making their home opener, Uh,

652
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,959
Speaker 1: you know, they they got to have this one. Uh,

653
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, they probably don't like all this stuff that's

654
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: been talked about, you know, with the earl Thomas and

655
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: all that. They're like, watch this and I feel like,

656
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's a quarterback that that. You know, they

657
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: give up a lot of sacks last night, they did,

658
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: But I still think that's gonna be a tough game.

659
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Detroit at home would be tough,

660
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: and Houston that'll be tough. You got a lot of

661
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: cowboy fans there, though, I just think seat don't if

662
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: I had to guess, would be the toughest one, So

663
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: it could be a hornessness that you're walking into there.

664
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: Just I feel relieved because I thought I was crazy

665
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: for thinking that, but literally, you know, I watched the

666
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: whole game. I'm sure most of the people are a

667
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: lot of people listening to this did too, and like,

668
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: rather than feel good about how bad they looked, I

669
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: was just like, this is bad. I would I would

670
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: rather they win and be one in one and the

671
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: sky's not falling because an O and two team, not

672
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: just an O and two team, but an O and

673
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: two team that's used to winning, that knows how to win.

674
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: It's got a quarterback that won a Super Bowl, the

675
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: coaches won a Super Bowl. There's some fiercely proud players

676
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: on that defense, like Earl Thomas and Bobby Wagner, who

677
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: are not used to sucking, and I just think they'll

678
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: probably pull out all the stops to keep this slide

679
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: from getting worse. I don't feel good about it at all.

680
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: It was because I was here in the late late nineties,

681
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: early two thousands. I've seen though, when even when you

682
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: have those kind of guys, when you have a bunch

683
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: of guys around them that are young and don't know

684
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: how to win, they can easily get frustrated and before

685
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: you know it, if if they they may not even

686
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: have enough to be able to lead them out of that,

687
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: right because at the end of the day, they're three

688
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: guys on that team that you look at and say, oh, yeah,

689
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: they're a part of the greatness that Seattle has been

690
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: and had, what they've represented for all these years. When

691
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: you look at Russell and you look at Earl Thomas,

692
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: and you look at Bobby Wagner, there's a bunch of

693
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: guys going I mean, I'm I don't know that I've

694
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: seen a team other than maybe San Francisco, maybe it

695
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: was at five years ago, just lose all of their

696
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: like all of their players that were their name guys

697
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: just all of a sudden seem to not be and

698
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: like to your point, two thousand and two Cowboys, I

699
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: just I'm just thinking about that particular team. Darren Woodson

700
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: was still you know, playing, it was still royd Glover,

701
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: Dexter Cokeley, and you still can only win five games,

702
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: you know, because so you're I think we're onto something

703
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: that let's see what happens, because they you know, it's

704
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: hard to put a team, oh in three, but absolutely

705
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why they're in two is because

706
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: when you watch their offense and you're like, you know

707
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a hard time moving the ball on

708
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: this defense, and and you know their defense can be

709
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: exploited a little bit, especially if you can run it

710
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: on him. It'll it'll be a fun game. It'll be

711
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: a fun game. Whether we'll be a factor, We'll talk

712
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: about that all week. I was gonna we don't. I

713
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: don't want to get too far into it if I

714
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: have to give a scouting report on them tomorrow, but

715
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: I just would like to point out, I mean, these

716
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: teams are pretty familiar with each other by this point.

717
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: You know, the fourteen game is still the best Cowboys

718
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: game I've watched UM fifteen and then last year too,

719
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: so they played three times in the last you know,

720
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: three or both teams are so different, but even the

721
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: last year. The point I want to make is that

722
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: Seattle not being able to protect Russell Wilson has is

723
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: not a new thing. That's true, and they have schemed

724
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: ways to keep him clean enough to beat the Cowboys

725
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: the last two times they've played. So I'm just saying,

726
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: which the Cowboys pass rush looks better than it has

727
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: Seahawks protection looked real bad last night, But I remember

728
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: in fifteen he had no time whatsoever. I mean, you know,

729
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: Greg Hardy made that acrobatic pick and all the I

730
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: mean Russell Wilson tackling him by his shoestring was the

731
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: only thing that kept him out of the end zone.

732
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: But they still won that game. So all right, it's

733
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: like our final break. We'll come back. We'll close out

734
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: the show. Get you guys some more information here. We'll

758
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: You get sized up a cowboy by three simple factors.

759
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 1: The crease in his hat, the bend of his brim,

760
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: and his unbending attitude a man. Stetson didn't just protect

761
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,800

783
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:20,000

784
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: about how great the fabric is and how you don't

785
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: have any you know, adjustment needed and all that good stuff.

786
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: You know this by now. But what you don't know

787
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: is that they are giving twenty percent off your first order.

788
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: Do you know that? I know that? Well, that's what

789

791
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 1: You saw that there was there was there. You didn't

792
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 1: see it, but you can see it on their website

793
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: Tommy John dot com. And Amber did tell you that

794
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: she checked it out and she was very y yeah

795
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: with it. So that was good. This is this is

796
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: the best version of it that we've had in a while.

797
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's get back into it. We'll take some

798
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: phone calls and numbers eight eight eight eight five five

799
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: two two nine seven again it is eight eight eight

800
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: five five two two nine se We'll try to get

801
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: a couple of calls here, and before you end the show,

802
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: we got a call from Rob in Vegas. Rob. What up? Hey? Rob? Hey, guys,

803
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 1: are you doing good? Another year? Another year? Sir? Talking

804
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,959
Speaker 1: about Bryce Butler. I don't think he has to be great.

805
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: I think it just has to be better than Terrence Williams,

806
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,879
Speaker 1: and right now that ain't gonna take much. I think

807
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 1: he's got two catches. That's not a bad point at all. Ye,

808
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: and can we get away from the two tight end sets?

809
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what it accomplished either going

810
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: to get a holding penalty. We never throw it to them,

811
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: and let's just go spread them out. I think that's

812
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 1: what they started against the Giants. It looked, it looked better,

813
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: and then I think that's they closed it back in

814
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they couldn't move the ball.

815
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: I think used the speed that we finally have, that

816
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: Rico gathers in, there should have been a touchdown. I'm

817
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 1: not saying a guy maybe truly knows all the playbook,

818
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: but he's an athlete and he's so big. I think

819
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: he could just do more stuff and I'd rather go

820
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: that way. Let's use the speed, and I Dak is

821
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: never going to be Tony Romo when it comes to

822
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: throwing a ball as a fan. I have to realize that,

823
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: and I'm okay with it if they use him like

824
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: they did against the Giants. If they if they try

825
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: to make him, they pass her, this team's gonna suffer.

826
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 1: Let him do his few runs, and if he gets

827
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy one hundred and eighty yards passing

828
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: and fifty yards rushing, it gets first downs on those runs.

829
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: I'm okay with it. Yep. I think that's that's very logical.

830
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, you know, I said that, Oh

831
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,439
Speaker 1: so go ahead, No no, I said that yesterday. This

832
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: is it's a totally arbitrary number that I made up.

833
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: But if you just if you go look at the

834
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: games where Dak has played the best, he flirts with

835
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty eight to two hundred and fifty

836
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: yards and doesn't He doesn't have to throw for two

837
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: fifty if he throws for one eighty and runs for sixty,

838
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: or if he throws for two twenty and runs for thirty,

839
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: as long if the runs are productive and the throws

840
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: are smart. Yeah, like, that's that's this offense. If you

841
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: don't like it, I'm sorry, that's but that's I think

842
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 1: that's their best way to move the chains. And that's

843
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 1: I was disheartened a little bit to hear Steven Jones

844
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: say that he wasn't sure it should be a weekly

845
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: staple to be running Dak like that. He said that

846
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: on the fan one oh five three here in Dallas yesterday,

847
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: and I was like, I disagree, Steven. I know it's

848
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: your team, but I think a minimum of five No,

849
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want him run in fifteen times like Cam Newton,

850
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,959
Speaker 1: but a minimum of five carries per week for Dak

851
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: in my opinion, and to me, it has to be

852
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: a part of the offense. I agree because that's honestly,

853
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,959
Speaker 1: that's one of the best things that Dak does. So

854
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: when you take it, I've watched this with my college team.

855
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,919
Speaker 1: When you take when you put a guy out there

856
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: and you know the best of what he does and

857
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: refused to do what he does best, to me, that's

858
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 1: short circuiting your team. It kind of defeats the purpose

859
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: of putting him out there. I put the other guy

860
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: out there if you don't think you want to do

861
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,919
Speaker 1: the things that he does best. So I think it's

862
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: it's kind of nests. I mean, I think you know

863
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 1: and you got to take advantage of where the rules are.

864
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: I think it's one of the worst rules the NFL has.

865
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: But when when you get to run twenty five yards

866
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: and then decide that you get to slide part he's over. Yep,

867
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 1: you got to take advantage of it. I think the

868
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: NFL should change it, but they won't, and and you know,

869
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: take advantage of it. And that to go back to

870
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: the other point too, is I don't need Dak to

871
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: run for sixty yards, you know, like Cam Newton. And

872
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: you know, if he runs five times for twenty one

873
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: yards and one of those is a touchdown and another

874
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: one is a crucial third down conversion, that's pretty big

875
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: even if it doesn't jump off the statue. If if

876
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: he gets to the outside because he keeps the ball,

877
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: he gets to the outside at the forty yard line

878
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 1: and went twenty yards because and then then then you

879
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 1: get down to the eight and they do it again,

880
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: and that linebacker is cheating, going hope is Dad going

881
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: to keep it? And that's all it takes for Zeke

882
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: to run right up the middle because because the threat

883
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: is there. So I definitely think you got to make

884
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: it a staple. The one thing I will say, though,

885
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: is I kind of agree with Stephen from this standpoint.

886
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: If it's his own read and it's not there, then

887
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: it doesn't. They don't need to call plays for him

888
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: to run. They need to create those opportunities where it's

889
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: an option, and that forces teams to say, we're gonna

890
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: choose one way or the other. If a team's gonna

891
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: say we're gonna take Dak away, we don't want Dak

892
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: to be running free with the ball. That's fine. I'll

893
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: give it to Zeke every time. And as a matter

894
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 1: of fact, I'd love to give it to Zeke. So

895
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 1: if they want to take that away, whatever they're gonna

896
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: give up in order to take that away, then give

897
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: it up. Take it away, and we'll gladly not run

898
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 1: the quarterback. But that's from that standpoint. Yeah, he doesn't

899
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: have to be he doesn't have him being a runner

900
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be a stapled offense. Him an option

901
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: as a runner, to me, does have to be a

902
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 1: staples offense. There's and that. I mean, we talked about

903
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: the tight ends yesterday and we will keep talking about them,

904
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure. But there's two routes that I feel like

905
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna go with that They're gonna say this, we're

906
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: not really doing this, well, we need to do something else,

907
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,919
Speaker 1: or they're gonna say, we're not doing this well because

908
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: these guys are so new and we need to keep

909
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 1: doing it so they get better. And that's just a

910
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: guess on the way they're gonna I think they're gonna

911
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,919
Speaker 1: go to the latter part. They're gonna say, rather than

912
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,560
