Here are Mickey Spagnola, 3 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: Rob Phillips, and Bill Jones and Everson Walls on Talking 4 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys on a Friday here at the Star in Frisco, 5 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: as we get you set for Cowboys and Patriots three 6 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: twenty five kickoff Texas time on Sunday. And we've got 7 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: so much to get to as news is broken over 8 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours that affects what happens on Sunday. 9 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett's just completed his press conference. The team is 10 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,319 Speaker 1: out on the practice field. The special teams guys are 11 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: out on the practice field. The rest of the team 12 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: is inside on the practice field at Ford Center, as 13 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: is their custom. As it's gotten a bit chilly and 14 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: brisk out there, and so it's a good test for 15 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: Brett Maher as well as lp let us are and 16 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: Chris Jones out on the outdoor field here because the 17 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: elements on Sunday will not be ideal. Have you seen 18 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: the weather forecast making I think they're gonna be worse 19 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: than ideal. Yes, As a matter of fact, Sunday high 20 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: of forty four a low of thirty. And so since 21 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: the game starts at four twenty five Eastern time, that's nighttime, 22 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: that's the that's the we're getting the worst of it 23 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: that far east, that's nighttime. By second half, it's going 24 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: to be ugly winds ten to twenty miles an hour. 25 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: And the report is on Sunday, the amount of rain 26 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: that starts at one hundred percent in the day and 27 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: seventy percent at night could reach an inch. Oh wow, Okay. 28 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: So you said it's going to be forty four degrees 29 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: with the window ten to high. Okay, and I guarantee 30 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: you when the sun goes down it's closer to Okay. Well, 31 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: right now here in Frisco, Texas, it's forty five degrees 32 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: and there's more wind out there than what they're going 33 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: to face on Sunday. So it's perfect for the perfect. 34 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: So the term that was a subjective term. Subjective. Yeah, 35 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: he said that they were ideals. It was less than 36 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: the Patris might life these right, Yeah, exactly, they might. Yeah, 37 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: relative term. I guess someone said that normally when it's 38 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: a bad weather and they're playing at home, they practice outdoors, 39 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:39,119 Speaker 1: get used to it. Yeah, that's what we're doing, exactly right. 40 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: We're comparing down right now. That's exactly right. So they 41 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: are going to need Zeke Elliott after all in this game. 42 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: The narrative that they're a passing offense. Only now I 43 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: think you might need your star running back in this game. Yea. 44 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: And you might need more than forty four yards in 45 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: this game rushing. Yes, h yes, we'll tell Jason not 46 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: to you know too, go ahead and put them on 47 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: the Boston OK. Yeah, back, Because all I know is 48 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: when Baltimore beat the Patriots, mark Ingram ran for one 49 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen yards. Lamar Jackson ran for sixty one 50 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. They ran for the three touchdowns 51 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: of the four I think they've given up rushing, and 52 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: then they added another twenty seven and seven, So to me, 53 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: that's almost that's like around two hundred yards rushing. Yeah, 54 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: but that comes from Lamar Jackson sixty one Yeah. No, No, 55 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: just the fact that one that opens it up for Ingram. Yeah, 56 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that's how that went. I saw that game. 57 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: I thought Belichick got completely out coach. No, that doesn't happen. 58 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: He was saving it for the post shot defensively especially. 59 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: You could just see the Patriots they were like, what 60 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: what just happened? Is comics going through here? One number 61 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: eight on his jersey, and now Ingram is you know, yeah, 62 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: he's he's he's kind of enjoying himself. Yeah. Well he's 63 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: a little quick. He's quick. He's quick, yeah, all right? 64 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: He uh and you know when he puts that Ravens 65 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: jersey and he actually looks slower you know with the Saints, Yeah, 66 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, I don't know that the color, 67 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: the culture, what I mean, you think Ravens, you think 68 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: you know, black cleats, Yeah, that'll do it. He looked 69 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: like being in malone to somebody coming through that. So 70 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: it was two hundred and ten yards by the Ravens 71 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: rushing in that game. Lamar Jackson actually had more carries 72 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: than mark Ingram in that game sixteen to fifteen. You're right. 73 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: I mean, they just kept pounding away with Jackson and 74 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: they didn't really have an answer for it. Now, they 75 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: made some plays offensively themselves New England, but that's the 76 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: you know, Dak has not been that guy. They haven't 77 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: used Dak in that way. He's been more of a 78 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: pocket passer and they kind of selectively use him, but 79 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: that was something that worked against New England. Well, you can't. 80 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: You can't say that he can't be used that way. 81 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: He can't. He can't. He can't be that person. You know, 82 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: you can't beat Lamar. You can't use Dack like that. 83 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: That's just not what his game is. Now. He can run, 84 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: but I don't think you want to make a I 85 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: have a heavy dose of him. I think we're going 86 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: to see a lot of it to see if if 87 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: the Patriots have learned the lesson. I mean every coach 88 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: does that. You know, whatever happens to you the previous week, 89 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: if it was the Achilles heel, then let's the ensuing game. 90 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: The coach is going to see if you've learned your lesson. 91 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: So we're going to test him and see if they've 92 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: learned that their lesson and see if they can stop them. 93 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: That's a good point, or the back that's a good 94 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: point because you know, the screen game is something that 95 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: worked against Dallas against Minnesota, and you can bet it's 96 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: part of the Patriots offense anyway. But I'm fairly confident 97 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: see that that's what they do and see if I 98 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: stop it. Hope Jerry talking about holding that jello in 99 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 1: your hand. You know when he kind of get it 100 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: balanced one way and then it flops the other way. 101 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: That's what happens in this game. You'd worry about one thing, 102 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: do you long time analogies? How it's hard to take 103 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: care of this is it's like the apple pie on 104 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: the on the movie. I mean, what's he done with 105 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: the jello? Actually, my better analogy than his is it's 106 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: like playing Whackable. Once you knock down one mole, the 107 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: other mole comes up, right, Okay, something always sprouts, that's true, 108 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: all right. The Patriots of have the number one defense, 109 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: but when you look at their rush defense, they are 110 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: tenth in the league and rush defense, but they have 111 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: blown out so many opponents this year that you would 112 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: think most of those opponents weren't rushing the football a 113 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: whole lot, and especially in the second half of those games. 114 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: So you look at their yards per attempt and they've 115 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: given up four point six yards per attempt on the season. 116 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: Who could be against the so called pre event defense 117 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: or protecting the league? You're right defense, because this doesn't 118 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: make sense because Buffalo ran for one hundred and thirty 119 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: five year yards, So they must have had a big 120 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: run because they average six point one an attempt. Washington 121 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: and I don't understand this one. They ran for one 122 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: hundred and forty five yards and Cleveland one hundred and 123 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: fifty nine yards. That team in the game where they Yeah, 124 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: why would they've been running? You have been going to 125 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: catch up. It doesn't make sense. And then Baltimore two 126 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: ten twenty twenty two attempts. Well, Mick, you said it 127 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: a couple of days ago. The fact that they are 128 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: so unique with their front seven and they don't use 129 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: a lot of down defensive lineman play to play, maybe 130 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: that makes them a little susceptible in the run game, 131 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: you know, but they they're still pretty sound defensively overall. 132 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and I know that. I think the the 133 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: Eagles got up ten nothing in that game and then 134 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: gained about twenty two yards on the next few drives. 135 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: You know, they have a way of buckling down on you. 136 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: There's the ridiculous part about it. They've they'd lead the league. 137 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: They've only given up third team touchdowns, but only nine 138 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: on defense. They've had four returns for touchdowns against the 139 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: interesting nine touchdowns. We gotta go find somebody to pick 140 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: on the score. No, these were all scooping scores. One interception, 141 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: three fumbles. I think Baltimore recovered a fumble in the 142 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: end zone. So yeah, night. And to think about that 143 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: nine touchdowns on defense in ten games, Who's who's ever 144 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 1: heard of that? Eighty five Bears two. The Saints in 145 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: their Super Bowl year had a lot of returns. I 146 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: seem to recall, all right, we're just getting started here 147 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: on talking Cowboys. We can get to the elephant in 148 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: the room when we come back in just a moment 149 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: to talking Cowboys. Talking Cowboys continues inside the SWBC Mortgage 150 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: studios here at the Star in Frisco. Bill Jones, Mickey Spagnola, 151 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: Rob Phillips, and we've been joined this week by Everson 152 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: Walls as well. He's gonna talk about the Cowboys and 153 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: the Patriots. And now, what is that elephant in the room. 154 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: That would be the linebacker or Layton vander Es. Jason 155 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: Garrett had his press conference that concluded just a few 156 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: minutes ago this morning. To get the official update on 157 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: Layton and Rob, were you doing a story on that? Yes, 158 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: should be on the website. Not gonna play this week. 159 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: I'm not sure exactly when he's gonna be back. I 160 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: think Jason and Garrett said hopefully fairly soon. He made 161 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: a point of saying it's not a career threatening injury, 162 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: it's not even a season threatening injury. But the question 163 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: is when he'll be able to get back. Cowboys have 164 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: a lot of games coming up in a short amount 165 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: of time and they just need that neck to calm 166 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: down Mickey, And it's something that probably is related to 167 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: what he had a couple of weeks ago where he 168 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: missed part of the Eagles game before the bye, and 169 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: then even after the buye he didn't play against New York. 170 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: And you're looking at two games in five days with 171 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: Buffalo coming here next Thursday, three games in twelve days 172 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: with a trip to Chicago the following Thursday. And Mickey is, 173 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: if you're not watching on Texas twenty, well you can't 174 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: see it anyway because we're seeing Layton Banderah. Mickey just 175 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: motioned the out call for all three games. Mickey is 176 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: calling it come I would imagine so. And by the way, 177 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: it's the wolf in the room, not the elephant. Yeah, 178 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: there you go. How about that, yek what's a week 179 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: once a month, my time of the month there it is. 180 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: He just took. So I mean, yeah, think about it. 181 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: You're gonna play a game in four days after after Sunday, 182 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: and he's not going to play that game, and then 183 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: you don't get a long break, so it's only a 184 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: week more. So I would think conservatively he's gonna miss 185 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: three games. Rob's right, it's not career threatening. Um. They're 186 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: hopeful that he could get back at some point this year, 187 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: but it may take a while. They've got to let 188 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: this thing calm down. Um, you know, and I haven't 189 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: heard officially what it is, but when you hear neck 190 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 1: and you're gonna be out that long, you probably got 191 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: a little bit of a herniation of a disc up 192 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: there or something going on when you've already had something 193 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 1: here a few weeks ago, and it's kind of it 194 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: kind of arose a little bit um after the game 195 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Uh and and so yeah, they've got to 196 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: do whatever they can to let it calm down, because 197 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: now you know the the downside. The worst thing is 198 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: that you have to have fusion, you have surgery. The 199 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: Cowboys have had guys do that previously. Um, off the 200 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: top of my head, uh, Darryl Johnston. Uh and and 201 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: they go in and basically remove the disc and they 202 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: fuse the two vertebrae together. Um, and he played another year. 203 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: I think Randy, I think it was post because that's why. 204 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: And the scary thing about that is you can you 205 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: can do it once, but if if, if you have 206 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: to do it twice because you put more pressure on 207 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: the disc blow or above, then you're basically stiff necked 208 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: the rest of your lot to that point. No, no, 209 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: And I'm saying, but it has happened when everybody goes 210 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: as it career threatening and Chad Headings had this the 211 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: same fusion surgery at one point and he came back 212 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: and looks good. DJ, he looks real good. Right now, 213 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: DJ just played one more year. Uh and he was 214 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: basically after and of course it would be done. Yeah. 215 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: So so anyway, UM, you got to be careful with this. 216 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: And um, DJ is different because he's a moose. Yeah. 217 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's Uh, it's unfortunate. It's bad timing, especially 218 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: the team they're going to play and how they play 219 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: their running backs and how much they throw to them. 220 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: So Sean Lee, you're up. Joe Thomas, you're up. I 221 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: got no problem with Sean Lee covering backs out of 222 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: the backfield. He's shown that before. In fact, this week, 223 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: I was sitting there wondering as many three receiver sets 224 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: as the Patriots use. I was wondering, how much is 225 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 1: Sean Lee going to even play in this game? Right? 226 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: I think as a SAM linebacker was going to play 227 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: a lot. Now. Although I saw they may be down 228 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: Mohammed sanou Um, it looks like he hadn't practice yet 229 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: this week. And I saw a story that pointed out 230 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: that no one has played for the Patriots this year 231 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: if they missed the first two days of practice. So 232 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's an indication or how bad 233 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: it is. Good right, and so that means they for 234 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: their uh, you'll have Edelman, uh Dorset got back into practice, 235 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: and then their third guy will either be Jacoby Myers 236 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: or nikkil Harry, who's played just one game this year. 237 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: The rookie Myers has played nine games this year, and 238 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: they would have to use one of those two guys. 239 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: And nikil Harry is the first round draft pick. He's 240 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: a really talented guy. But as as I think any 241 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: of us would know, with Tom Brady, I mean to 242 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: get on the same page quickly with Tom Brady. I mean, 243 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: you you've got to have it upstairs, right. You have 244 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: to be where you're supposed to be, exactly it's supposed 245 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: to be. I get into you don't worry. It makes me, 246 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, fills me with a little bit of hope. 247 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: It's tough coming out and playing with an injury in 248 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: these conditions that that we're expecting up in the East Coast. 249 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: It's it's uh, that might be something good for us, 250 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: not in regards to Vanda Sean Lee, but their wide 251 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: receiver is being a little bit hobbled or limited in 252 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: some way. That's when you really put the pressure as 253 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: a defensive back. You know, if I'm going up against Dorset, 254 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: I'm not going to back off of him the entire game. 255 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to be in his face the entire game. 256 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: Put pressure on. And the weather itself, you know, inclement 257 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: weather expected, it's it's going to be tough for anybody 258 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: who's injured to be out there, to be close to 259 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: to to and you know what door set. You know, 260 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,479 Speaker 1: it's a concussion thing. So sometimes when you've had a concussion, 261 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: they want you to go out there and do something 262 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: physical and they listen to them as limited and then 263 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: see how you uh, if there's any residual effect of it. 264 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: So just because he was limited doesn't mean he's cleared 265 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: concussion protocol. He probably has to do something today to 266 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: clear And we've seen that happen before. And I think 267 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: it was last week or the week before somebody was 268 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: in concussion protocol and they ended up practicing unlimited base 269 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: and the next thing they know, they got ruled out. 270 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: So we'll see where that one goes. But to Bill's point, 271 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: you know, they get their running backs involved heavily, not 272 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: just in the running game, but James White forty eight catches, Birkhead, 273 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: they're getting him back in the mix a little bit. 274 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: Eighteen catches already, so Michelle as well. And so that's 275 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: part of the short passing games, part of the screen game. 276 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: They're gonna try to get a lot of guys in ball. 277 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: They probably had to because get you mentioned ever since 278 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: some of the injuries they've had at wide receiver. Yeah, 279 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: what about Van DUIs, I've been watching him this year. 280 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: The Jets game was kind of the thing, like the 281 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: beginning of the a tough season for him. He seemed 282 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: to get a little exposed trying to cover some of 283 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: the running backs and playing pass. All linebackers have been 284 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: really getting cut off by these offensive linemens just in 285 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: their faces. Whether the oppositions running wide or whether they're 286 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: coming up the middle. You've got big defensive linemen in 287 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: in Smith's face. Vanderas Sean Lee, Yeah, I don't. I 288 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: haven't seen the Vanderish that I was looking forward to 289 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: this year. I've seen him make way too many mistakes 290 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: and it had nothing to do with his ability. I 291 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: was like almost guessing what hold the film and not 292 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: cassing right or not. If they seem react slower than usual, 293 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: that's why these linemen are getting These are the uncovered linemen, 294 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: and gets Minnesota were so fast in their face they 295 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: didn't not have a chance. Now, I don't know that 296 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: it has anything to do with the defensive linemen not 297 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: holding them up enough. As you know. I know that's 298 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: been practiced, you know when I was here with the Cowboys, 299 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: But they are jumping out in their faces so much. 300 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: I saw I saw Smith just trying to run from 301 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: the cut blocks. The top blocks were coming at him 302 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: and then it was up if it was up the middle. 303 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,719 Speaker 1: They couldn't get off the blocks that ten yards down 304 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: the field. So I saw Vandersch having the same problems. 305 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: But I expected more from him because he's the brute. 306 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: He's that guy Smith. I don't want to call him 307 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: Ackilly Smith. Smith. Smith is known to run. He's born, 308 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: he's born to run. He's a ladable guy. But Vanderes 309 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: has that lad of ability. But I expected him to 310 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 1: be that brute up the middle. He was going to 311 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 1: replace Sean Lee and be that guy that we can 312 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: stop the teams, that can stop the teams from coming 313 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: between the tackles. That's what I thought he was here for, 314 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: which is what he did last year. This year has 315 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: not been the case. Well, the thing that Sean Lee 316 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: has done throughout his career is I mean, he dissects 317 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: that plays exactly. He can even pre snap. He has 318 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 1: an anticipation of where it's coming, and he can avoid 319 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,199 Speaker 1: those blocks and so and it's so it's something he 320 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: has it naturally and he has it through preparation. And 321 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: I think Layton has that same work ethic. But still, 322 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's takes some time in this league to 323 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: Sean Lee. La was that last week just sniffed out 324 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: the screen before the hun you know, those the kind 325 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: of things that that which makes him a faster player. 326 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: And well that's what helped me. If you can anticipate, 327 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: then yeah, you know one step ahead, you know, and 328 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 1: I was so slower than that that even things up. 329 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: So but now, and you know, and I wonder if 330 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: it affects how the Cowboys play their linebackers in this 331 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: game because of I don't know how much you want 332 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 1: Sean Lee man the man on James White and you know, 333 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: out in the flat all the time, and he was 334 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: having problems with Ulph and the Vikings, the Vikings Gay right. 335 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: The other thing that occurred to me as well, maybe 336 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: you want to play more dime, but now you're down 337 00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: a cornerback without Anthony Brown. And I'm wondering because I've 338 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 1: heard I can't remember if one of the coaches said this, 339 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: or maybe Jerry Um if you say, well, if I 340 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: got to play dime, maybe I bring Xavier Woods back 341 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: into the slot and then put Thompson back at safety. 342 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: That's something he did his rookie year, right, And that's 343 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: what that's basically what he played as down the street 344 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,199 Speaker 1: with those young corners started playing as rookies. He was 345 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: their slot corner. So that's interesting. That's in a pinch, 346 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: you can do that. Yeah, I mean if you're getting 347 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: beat underneath because you know your slot guy's gotta take Edelman, 348 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: I mean that's gonna be Jordan Lewis, and you know, 349 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: and the next the next cornerback up is is good one. 350 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: And they haven't really played him at cornerback. And we 351 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: should point out Jeff Heath has been a full participant 352 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: in this week.

This is Friday, and yes they got It's Friday, 402 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: and wow, what a great football weekend. This is too. 403 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: In the NFL, there's a lot of games and matching 404 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: up winning teams against winning teams, including the three twenty 405 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: five kickoff on Sunday the Cowboys and the Patriots. All right, Mickey, 406 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: I want to ask you. You're talking about the possibility 407 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: of maybe using more dime. So in the dime defense, 408 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: Sean Lee would come off the field. What what do 409 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: you anticipate them going to more? More than anything, Yeah, 410 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: I still think they'll They'll probably play well. They'll have 411 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: to play a lot of nickel for sure. And maybe 412 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: when you get into pure passing situations, you go to dime, 413 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: bring Xavier Woods down from safety, put them in the 414 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: slot yet Jordan Lewis and the other slot, and you 415 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: play one linebacker. And I don't know if that one 416 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: linebacker is consistently Jalen Smith or it could be Sean 417 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: Lee since he runs things. This is gonna be I 418 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: think a very cerebral game. It is on both sides 419 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: of the ball, because as you talk about the person 420 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: and by the way, I didn't know you and Jerry 421 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: discussed the game plan. It sounds like the game playing. 422 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: Jerry's in the huddle and you're listening to him. That's 423 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: the main things bag. You're actually writing that down. The 424 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 1: cerebral part of it I can see is we started 425 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: talking about personnel. Uh, it's gonna be some Aaron rod 426 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: just crap going on out there. They're gonna trying to 427 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: catch us with the wrong personnel many times. Go huddle 428 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: real quick, right, you know, Brady started that before Aaron Rodgers. 429 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: So that's that's gonna be part of that chess match 430 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 1: that we're going to be seen throughout the entire game. 431 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,239 Speaker 1: And the other flip side of it, on the other 432 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: side of the ball, do how do the Patriots attack 433 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense? We talked about that a little bit today. 434 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: They've proven here to be a kind of a pick 435 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: your poison offense. But do does Belichick try to do 436 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: what these other teams have done and shut down the 437 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: run and with so much confidence in secondary to handle 438 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: up on the back end. I can see that doing 439 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: a lot. I mean he always does a lot of 440 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: audibling I can see even more. You know, you might 441 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: audible your way out of a good play. Yeah, you 442 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 1: think may uh, you know, determine you to do that 443 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: just by the look just maybe trying to confuse you. 444 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: That would be a worst case scenario. Is audibling too much? Uh, 445 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: and therefore you can't control the pace of the game 446 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 1: like the Saints game and where the crowd was into it, 447 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 1: it won't be as bad, but as far as the 448 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: confusion aspect of it, that could be something that they 449 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: have to deal with offensively, especially maybe the rainal quiet 450 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 1: the people down. But you're but you're right, and you 451 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: know because you got to figure out what all those 452 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: linebackers are doing. Right, And I had it put to 453 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 1: me that it's more of an annoyance than anything else, 454 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: Like you got to you gotta try to figure out 455 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 1: what and that's going to be the problem. I might 456 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: slow the problem, Yes it will. So that's what I 457 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: mean about the pace it's self. Dak won't be in 458 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: the control that if he's still trying to figure out 459 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: what they're trying to do. So I would imagine if 460 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: I'm an offensive coordinator, Look, once you make a call, 461 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: let's just go with it. Let's just go with it, 462 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: and then you still read your keys and you still 463 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,439 Speaker 1: make a safe play. There's always, no matter what the 464 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 1: play is, there's an outlet somewhere. You just have to 465 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 1: find it, you know, the outlet has to be available. 466 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 1: So if the Cowboys can just all be on one 467 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: page with that, I hope they did. I hope they 468 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: were here at the start with a bunch of noahs 469 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: and all that, because it's going to be it's gonna 470 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 1: be prevalent that they understand and to stay poised throughout 471 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: the entire game. Because normally the center can help you 472 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 1: with some of the calls, but the way they move 473 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: their linebackers around outside, I don't know if the center 474 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: can see all of that stuff. Right. He and Dak 475 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: have to work together on that, yeah, and and the 476 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,479 Speaker 1: other lineman can help as well. And I think you know, 477 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: if he said it once yesterday, he said it ten 478 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: times when they were when Kellen Moore did his interview 479 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: before or the locker room opened up, and he kept 480 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,719 Speaker 1: using the word communication to communicate. We have to have 481 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: great communication. And that's because I'll guarantee of Philadelphia, they 482 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: were off. They couldn't figure out who was coming, who 483 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: was dropping five sacks. I think it was well And 484 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: that was after Lane Johnson went out. They lost the 485 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: right time. They lost Peters to Lane Johnson. That was 486 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: later in the game. But things were going fine for 487 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: them protecting a quarterback, and then they lost Lane Johnson 488 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 1: and it was like a rapid fire, you know. And 489 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: that's the other thing the Patriots do. They see a 490 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: weakness and they'll expose it very quickly. I suggest you 491 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,640 Speaker 1: go on on Dallas Cowboys dot com and check out 492 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: the film room with Will McClay. He breaks down this 493 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: Patriots defense and then specifically shows three plays where how 494 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: they used Jamie Collins, and on one of the plays, 495 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: Jamie Collins is setting the edge as a defensive end. 496 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: The next play he shows he's lined up as an 497 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: inside backer, and then he also shows him running a 498 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: stunt inside getting to the quarterback. You know, Jamie Collins 499 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: is a guy who has six sacks on the season, 500 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: He's got three picks, he's got seven tackles for lossy 501 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: and you know, it's it's Betty versatility right there. It's 502 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: pretty much. Of course, he started his career with the Patriots, 503 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: went away and then he was at Cleveland and comes 504 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: back to the Patriots, and you know they're using him 505 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: I got to say, I just had one more thought, 506 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: going back to the pace of the game. Cowboys gonna 507 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: have to go quick snap a lot. That's that there's 508 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: the same thing and Natan Newton always says the same thing, 509 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: make you laugh, make you coy. You're a big guy, 510 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: then yeah you're gonna bully somebody. But if you're too big, 511 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: then somebody's gonna buy around you. So there's got there's 512 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: always um a disadvantage that you put yourself in when 513 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: you disguise, and we can catch him in in uh 514 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: while they're disguising and go with a quick snap mayby 515 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: once in a while, especially in key situations. Then that 516 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: that way we can at times put the pace of 517 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: the team of the game in our favor. Maybe go 518 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: hurry up. Believe hurry up would be great, would be 519 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: great because it's not like you got to take care 520 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: of one guy. When it comes to sacks for them, 521 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: Collins has six, Van Noy has five and a half. 522 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: Adam Butler Adam Butler five, Duncanville, Texas three hunder and 523 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: he's got five and a half sacks rushing from the inside, 524 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: and Chase Winovic has four and a half rookie and 525 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: then they've got a bunch of guys with three so 526 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: that's coming from all tower Danny Shelton. Yeah, that's three sacks. 527 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: So they're linebackers or lead them in sacks, and that 528 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: shows you how they're playing them as like stand up 529 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: defensive ends. Well, once again, Michael Bennett is going to 530 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: factor into this game for the Cowboys defense being inside rusher, 531 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 1: maybe outside rusher as well. He's here because those guys 532 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: they kind of change what they did midseason. That's so Belichick. 533 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: You know, they went more linebacker heavy and he didn't 534 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: get on the field. Yeah, the question was going to 535 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: come up, like, wow, we've someone had to be a casualty, 536 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: and I didn't even think of it that that Bennett 537 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: was that obvious agilty. He was the casualty and then 538 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: he complained and became a big casualty when you know, 539 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: he did get suspended before the trade. But I think 540 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: more than anything, they just didn't find enough snaps for him. Well, 541 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: you know he found the way. You found some snaps. 542 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: Here's good, right, three snaps. How prevalent do you think 543 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: he will be? He will be in the game itself. 544 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy, he knows this system. Yeah, and 545 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: he's good. It's not like he's not any good some 546 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: guy that's over the hill just trying them. And he 547 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: can tell him because you know when when I asked him, 548 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: and I think I said it earlier about why this 549 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: thing works, and he was saying that Van Noy the 550 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: most athletic guy he ever played with. Wow, and that 551 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: High Tower, uh, you know, and then Collins was the smartest. Yeah, 552 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: and then High Tower can do everything. And so that's 553 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: why they can kind of screw around back there and 554 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: change things up because these guys know how to do it. 555 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: That's what they're doing. They're screwing around, screwing around back there. 556 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: They're screwing around. Yes, he doesn't seem like you're either 557 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: talking about thinking about when you go watch football practice 558 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: the middle linebackers here, those strong side linebackers on the 559 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, of the weak side linebackers over here 560 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: off the line, I think they're all in the same spot. 561 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: I think it's more organized chaos they than playing grah. 562 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, I guarantee you if you're if you're the quarterback, 563 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: you probably think they're screwing around back there. Oh, let 564 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: me go stand over here for a while. Okay, we're 565 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: gonna screw around some more here on Talking Cowboys here 566 00:32:36,520 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: in just a moment, back to Talking Cowboys. Talking Cowboys 567 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: continues inside the SWBC Mortgage Studios. We're happy you could 568 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: join us, not only on Dallas Cowboys dot com, wherever 569 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: you listen to or watch the show on a daily basis, 570 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: eleven o'clock every weekday morning.

And what kind of 575 00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: atmosphere do you expect in Sunday's game as far as 576 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys fans at the game on Sunday? Myself, when I 577 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: saw the schedule, I went immediately, knowing that the Cowboys 578 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: are playing in New England this year, immediately said, where's 579 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: that New England game? If I was a fan and 580 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,879 Speaker 1: wanted to travel to a game, this is the game 581 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: that I would have gone to that but I would 582 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: pick that, would not pick this game. I wanted to 583 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: be a basketball player because I hated the weather. Yeah, 584 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: so yeah, I'm not going to watch that game. It's 585 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: a little too late. Another game coming out, but no, 586 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: Well but Championship, those tickets aren't available. I bet you 587 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,720 Speaker 1: know the Patriot fans. I don't know how they act, 588 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: but are they selling their tickets so they can make money? 589 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: Because that's what happens here, right when when you see 590 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 1: all these away Okay, well if it was just a 591 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: regular game, but it's well, that's what I was about 592 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: to say. Okay, cowboys coming to town. Okay, we're pumped 593 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 1: that they're playing the Patriots. Okay, how much are the 594 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 1: Patriots pump that the Cowboys are coming down there? It's 595 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,359 Speaker 1: not just about you know, where they are statistically, the 596 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 1: fact that they lost the game that they probably thought 597 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: they shouldn't have lost, them talking about the Patriots, but 598 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,919 Speaker 1: it's also it's just a matter of pride. They want 599 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: to be and they consider themselves because of the Championships 600 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,359 Speaker 1: America's team. Let's just be real, they are They said, 601 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: well Craft and Jerry Jones, they got this crap going on. 602 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 1: You know, I think it had something to do with 603 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: the flate gate, and then all of a sudden, here 604 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: comes Zeke Elliotty's suspended. They said Craft might have been 605 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: in there, you know, shaking his finger at the commissioner, 606 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 1: like you better get him because you got my guy. 607 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 1: So nah, I think it's it's a personal game, just 608 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 1: like the Falcons game two years ago. I believe it 609 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 1: was when Blank and Jerry Jones were having a little 610 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 1: little called the p fit. But yeah, But the other 611 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 1: part of it is a few times that the Cowboys 612 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: play the Patriots. I mean, this only happens every four years, 613 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 1: and for the Cowboys to go there, it's been eight 614 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 1: years since they since they played there. And no matter 615 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: what you think, when that star shows up, people want 616 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: to be there to see it. Oh, because they want 617 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: to cheer against them. There's been one time this year 618 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: on the road so far where it didn't seem like 619 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: a cow almost a dominant Cowboys presence, and that was 620 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: New Orleans. I think you know a lot of Saints fans. 621 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: They didn't sell their tickets, but I mean it felt 622 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,359 Speaker 1: like a home game last week in Detroit, and I'm 623 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 1: sure there's gonna be a fair representation. So well. And 624 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: then okay, so now that you take the primary players 625 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, I mean you take the Zeke Elliots, 626 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 1: you take the Deak Press Scotts. We saw in their 627 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 1: rookie year where they go on the road at Green 628 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,839 Speaker 1: Bay at Pittsburgh. That stage was not too big for them. 629 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: They've played on the highest level in college football. They 630 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 1: don't let you know how much they relish this opportunity 631 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:54,919 Speaker 1: to go play. We've seen so much crap since then, 632 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: and we've forgotten just how growing up Zeke and Deak 633 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 1: and their rookie year. I mean, that was domination. They 634 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 1: went into Pittsburgh, into Pittsburgh. I talked about that game 635 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 1: a lot. You're one of the few people out here 636 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: I here bring that up about not just you know, 637 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,919 Speaker 1: how how well Dak and Zeke played, but how how 638 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: that team was sold together at that time. I had 639 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: no doubt that they would win that game in Pittsburgh. 640 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: There was no doubt, and the way they wanted it 641 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: was so convincing. You know, they out Steelers the Steelers, 642 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 1: and I'm looking forward to them and getting back to 643 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 1: that again. That those games, that's the ones that gives 644 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 1: me hope and and you know, positivity about them getting 645 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: back on track again, because that's pretty much it's we 646 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 1: have We have a better team. Now. We have a 647 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 1: better team now, No, no Dad, no dad, but we 648 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,799 Speaker 1: have three heck of it receivers now that we did 649 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: not have it that time. Oh yeah, and Mary's feeling 650 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: better this week. He said that yesterday he's been a 651 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 1: full participant in practice. And I think somebody asked him 652 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 1: about Michael Gallup as a number two receiver. Ever sinting, 653 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 1: he goes, I don't think he liked the question because 654 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 1: he said that this guy's a number one too, and 655 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 1: he's playing like it, you know, and second year in 656 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: the league, he's really growing up as a as a 657 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: you know, potentially elite receiver in this league week to week. 658 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: And sort of an example for you, said about the excitement, 659 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: the average ticket price for this game seven hundred nineteen dollars. 660 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: Is it really average? And I saw one site that 661 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 1: it was as much as they were selling tickets on 662 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: the secondary market for twenty two hundred dollars. I don't 663 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: know where that was, right, And that for that much, 664 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: I better have a roof over my head, right, it 665 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 1: better be a suite right next to me. Right now. 666 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: You talk about Gallup and number two receiver versus number one, Uh, 667 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: Cowboys having more jobs. That's for anybody early on this season. 668 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's still the case, but I 669 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: promise you Gallup has not been dropping any more passes. 670 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 1: And after that one one game, after that game, well 671 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: it was really a couple of games where he had. 672 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,319 Speaker 1: It was most noticeable in the Jets games because they 673 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: were missing Cobb and game and now the last game, 674 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,840 Speaker 1: the way he stepped up, you know, he knew Cooper 675 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,720 Speaker 1: was going to be hurt at least, you know, hobbled 676 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 1: a bit, and he stepped up, and Dak challenged him, 677 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 1: the Keller Moore challenged him, and he came through. That 678 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 1: was a good game for him. No drops, no turnovers, 679 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,439 Speaker 1: over one hundred yards. Start that right now. You want 680 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: a key. There was ever a game to play a 681 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,879 Speaker 1: clean game, it's got to be this one, no question. Yeah, 682 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 1: those dbs are gonna be after those cornerbacks are going 683 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: to be in their faces. Guys, I promise you this 684 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 1: is not just gonna be a cerebral game from the 685 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 1: coaching standpoint and their quarterbacks, but it's just gonna be 686 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: all out, just gut check. You know. This is one 687 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: of those games every once in a while, when I played, 688 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,319 Speaker 1: you know, trying to be que out there. I like 689 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: to get a little back pedal going and you know, 690 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: get smoothed and get loose. But there are some games 691 00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 1: when you're playing against the Red Skins, you know, playing 692 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: against guy like Art Monk, you just got to get 693 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 1: in his face. It's just you, me and you, just 694 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,800 Speaker 1: a whole game. You know. I don't have anything to 695 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:08,360 Speaker 1: say to you don't have anything to say to me. 696 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,840 Speaker 1: We're gonna speak with our play, and this is going 697 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: to be one of those games. Whatever your style is, 698 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: you trash talk, you know, if you're quiet, if you're 699 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 1: sereb or whatever. But this is gonna be a game 700 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a gut check for especially these specialty 701 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,440 Speaker 1: players as well. I got one minute left in this segment, 702 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: so I hesitate to bring this up because we don't 703 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 1: have enough time. But we can carry it over to 704 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,880 Speaker 1: the next our final segment here. How important, how important 705 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 1: you are? Short? How just how important is this game 706 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,720 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys? I mean, obviously from a from a 707 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 1: season standpoint, but but even just yeah, it's it's a barrier, 708 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 1: it's a thermometer. Right now, this is we're got to 709 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 1: see where we are. We have to see where we 710 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: are right now as a team. I think we can 711 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,359 Speaker 1: still lose the game and still being in good good 712 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,359 Speaker 1: about yourself. Yeah, it depends on how you lose that game, 713 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 1: and so the numbers them salves wins and losses. That 714 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't matter this week. We could still have to win 715 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,319 Speaker 1: out maybe one more loss out to this, but this 716 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 1: game will not ruin our playoff chances. I think it's 717 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,440 Speaker 1: more it'll be as much of a confidence thing as 718 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 1: it is something in the standings, right, because even if 719 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 1: you play really well and lose, at least you'll feel 720 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 1: good about yourself. But if you go down there and 721 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 1: flop around, it's like every time, every time we play 722 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,239 Speaker 1: one of these good teams, this is what we do well. 723 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 1: The other thing, it seems like for any team, but 724 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,879 Speaker 1: especially since we follow the Cowboys in the seasons where 725 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 1: they go to the playoffs, they have a stretch of 726 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,359 Speaker 1: the season where they where they get on a roll 727 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,920 Speaker 1: and they accumulate a number of wins in a row. 728 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 1: They're playing very well to get there, and obviously it's trite, 729 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 1: but you got to continue to improve as the season 730 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,000 Speaker 1: goes along, and why not against the best in the league. 731 00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 1: They did that last year. Yeah, I can remember Tom 732 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: talking about Landry talking about that all the time. You 733 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 1: wanted to streak into the playoffs. You didn't want to 734 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 1: limp in, wanted to streak into the playoffs. It's time 735 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:12,320 Speaker 1: to streak. Shrinking time did you streak bell in college? 736 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: We won't get into that as we come back here 737 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 1: on talking Cowboys.

That's where my Rex Burkhead and Rex 791 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,000 Speaker 1: became friends when he was at the University of Nebraska 792 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,799 Speaker 1: with Jack Hoffman. Jack Hoffman had brain cancer. Team Jack. 793 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 1: The Team Jack Foundation funds research for pediatric brain cancer research. 794 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 1: And um, they've they've raised all sorts of money. It 795 00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,279 Speaker 1: was the ESPN play of the Year when at the 796 00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 1: Nebraska spring game they handed the football to Jack. This 797 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,560 Speaker 1: is now going back six or seven years ago, and 798 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,640 Speaker 1: he ran for a touchdown in front of seventy five 799 00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,280 Speaker 1: thousand people at their spring game at Nebraska. Whatever. And anyway, 800 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,080 Speaker 1: they visited the White House. I mean they became fast friends. 801 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 1: Brex does a um a charity event for Jack, who's 802 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,520 Speaker 1: now I guess he's around he's probably a teenager by now. Um. 803 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 1: And so anyway, this week I decided I'm going to 804 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,359 Speaker 1: wear my Team Jack hat to support the Team Jack 805 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 1: Foundation since we're playing The Parents of Love. Yes I heard, 806 00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 1: I heard you. Yeah. Yeah. I'm glad y'all did, because 807 00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:01,640 Speaker 1: I would have been gone on and on. We wouldn't 808 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,720 Speaker 1: have enough time. If this is not he'd still be playing. 809 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 1: But this is not Rex's week. This is the Cowboys week. Right. 810 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 1: As we make our picks, who wants to go first, 811 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,239 Speaker 1: our pick, the click and our pick for the game. 812 00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,440 Speaker 1: All right, I'm a person going I'm gonna go first. 813 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,719 Speaker 1: And I know this is wishful thinking, but I am 814 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 1: looking forward to can I just put my my, my 815 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 1: cornerback duo and as one one pick. I think you 816 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,880 Speaker 1: can do whatever you want to. I think our cornerbacks 817 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,720 Speaker 1: are gonna do well. I look for one of them 818 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,279 Speaker 1: to get an interception. It's just shut me up for 819 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 1: once this year about talking about how they can't play. 820 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,439 Speaker 1: I look for the Cowboys to win. I really do. 821 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,719 Speaker 1: I picked the Cowboys to win every week. So you know, 822 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 1: whenever you ask me this at the end of the week, 823 00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:54,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Cowboys. Uh, cornerbacks and Cowboys. That's good. 824 00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:56,640 Speaker 1: It's just a quarterback that has the best chance to 825 00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,799 Speaker 1: get a pick. I wanted to say Biban Jones because 826 00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:01,680 Speaker 1: it's guy is so athletic. But you know when you 827 00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 1: make a Pro Bowl with no picks in Novai, Yeah, 828 00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,080 Speaker 1: no movas him. But I think I think a Woozier. 829 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 1: Well we'll finally uh turn around and look for the ball. 830 00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:15,440 Speaker 1: All right, there it is there. It is number twenty four. 831 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go stick with defense and go with Sean Lee. 832 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,360 Speaker 1: And we talked about him earlier, we know now exactly 833 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 1: he's got to have a big role in this game. 834 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,080 Speaker 1: The two games where vander esh was limited or inactive 835 00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,600 Speaker 1: against Philly in New York, Sean had to think twenty 836 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,560 Speaker 1: three tackles and was all over the field. And given 837 00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,799 Speaker 1: this matchup, he's got to show up big in this 838 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,439 Speaker 1: game too. So got my on number fifty this week. 839 00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,279 Speaker 1: Good choice I will take Did you have a pick? 840 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,680 Speaker 1: Did you pick the game? Did I picked the game? Yeah? Wow, 841 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:45,839 Speaker 1: this is this is stuff I've been leaning I've been 842 00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:50,759 Speaker 1: leaning to. I'll go with Dallas because I think they 843 00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,080 Speaker 1: every time we think they can't win a game, or 844 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 1: there's Philly before the buy, or the Saints last year, 845 00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,239 Speaker 1: they get they get like a signature win. I'll take 846 00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,760 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Okay, do you have a score? Whatever Mickey 847 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:06,560 Speaker 1: picks is for whatever, I think it's fine. I will 848 00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:13,399 Speaker 1: take number twenty one Zekiel Elliott. He is gonna get 849 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,120 Speaker 1: past that line of scrimmage because they don't have very 850 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:20,400 Speaker 1: big defensive lineman playing, and once he gets in the 851 00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 1: open field, you're gonna see the guy from Ohio State. 852 00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,440 Speaker 1: I will pick the Cowboys to win twenty three twenty 853 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:30,200 Speaker 1: twenty three, twenty Cowboys. That's good, and I'm going with 854 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,600 Speaker 1: Michael Bennett as my pick to click this week. He's 855 00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,720 Speaker 1: going to get in the face of one Tom Brady 856 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:40,919 Speaker 1: as we are about out of time here on Talking Cowboys, 857 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,680 Speaker 1: and we will talk at you again next week.
