Yeah, and so 0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:26.040 much for that. It's time for the Break on Dallas 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:31.320 Cowboys dot Com.

It is Tuesday, December fourteenth, 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:42.000 two twenty one, season seventeen, episode number seventy eight. Welcome 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:44.360 to the latest edition of The Break Life from st 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:46.800 WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star got Nick with me. 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:50.200 Dave is back in studio after a day of travel yesterday. 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.200 Amber's out today, but we got a lot to talk about. 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:55.400 We'll got some big picture stuff. We got a few 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:58.920 topics regarding the Cowboys, specifically the Cowboys, maybe some injury talk. 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:01.040 We'll talk a little bit about the NFC East, and 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.960 we'll talk about the conference and where the Cowboys line 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:07.119 up in the conference. Let's start first, though, Nick, give 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.960 me a seventy eight big cat Leon leap love it. 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:12.720 I love that he's back. He gets hurt in like 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.200 week two, like when something happened with his kneel and 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.800 the sideline got run into. It's been out for a while, 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:19.720 but he's back. He traveled this week, so yeah, I 0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:21.120 saw him at the game, and I was like, man's 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.160 good to see big good to see big head. But 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.280 of course we also have to do another number today 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:29.880 because there's a special number, mister David Hellman hitting thirty three. 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:37.520 Happy birthday, bro, thanks man, give me a thirty three? 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.840 Or said, right, I mean, I don't know. That's the answer. Yeah, 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:44.200 that's the answer. I don't know if you had a 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:48.960 better answer my answer. I mean people I liked when 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.680 Cheeto wore thirty three. Like people get all up at 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:55.000 the about numbers. They're like, ah's cornerbacks can't wear a thirty. 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:56.560 I like it. I like it when you get a 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.400 little off kilter he got. He changed it as soon 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.160 as he could. He was like, twenty four is open. 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.480 I'm gone. But I thought it was cool, So I'll 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:07.440 probably I'll probably associate thirty three with Cheeto for the Cheetos. 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.680 Anybody even wearing thirty three right now. They don't give 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.519 it out a lot, no, because it's got to be defensive. 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:14.120 They don't really want to give it out to the 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.679 offensive got like a running back, right, and these days 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.120 running backs don't want thirties anymore. Didn't see which, No, no, 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.440 nobody does. I think it's we've talked about this, probably 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.240 back when we were in the thirties, Like, I mean, 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.359 Earl Campbell made thirty four look awesome, Lady Ricky Williams 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.920 Terrell Davis, like thirties are cool to me, So I 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:37.160 don't get it. But yeah, it's just waving, waving goodbye 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.040 to like the idea of my youth. Like when you 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.960 turn thirties not a big deal. Thirty one and thirty 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:44.919 two you're like, ah, that's kind of the same thing. 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.960 And now I'm just like it's over. Man, Wait till 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.320 you hit forty, I know, and your body starts betraying 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.320 you get every way possible. Bro, I'm already there. We 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.480 talk about you and me talk about our random He's 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.000 really got it crazy that you're talking about that to me, 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.320 Like you got it. I got a bad bad I 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.679 got gray in my beard. I mean it's over. Yeah. 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:05.400 I got an ankle injury, and I have no idea 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.360 how it happened, Like I haven't even been running, and 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:08.720 my wife's like, how did it happen. I'm like, I 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.280 don't know. I do the I do the elliptical trainer 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.000 every morning in the gym because it's the only thing 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.200 I can do where I feel confident that I'm not 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.079 gonna strain or no hurt something. Right, Yeah, if we're 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:23.160 doubt so, all right, I'm getting I'm gonna get orthopedic 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.080 running shoes as a gift for myself. That's actually good idea, 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:32.360 I know, but shoes matter, right, Yeah, yeah, all right, 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.200 let's jump in, man, we got we got a few 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:37.280 topics we want to hit today. Let's start with Tyren Smith. 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:39.800 He's been I guess at this point ruled out for 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.920 the Giants game. What do they likely do there? I 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:44.680 know Jerry talked this morning about it. What do you 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.440 say about what they're gonna do at left tackle? Jerry 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:51.960 said Terren Steele. I appreciate his honesty there. Um, I 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:55.120 think Mike McCarthy kind of left some wiggle room because 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.280 we don't know for sure that Lyle Collins will be available. 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.800 I think there was a report last night from the 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.920 Morning News that he likely won't be suspended. I haven't 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.160 heard anything official about that, but if he's available, it 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.200 sounds like it'll be Steel on the left and Lyle 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.240 on the right. Yeah, what I wonder is just you know, 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:14.960 they went into the game with Steele doing all this 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.720 other stuff on the right side, left side and move 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.800 it around, and then it seems like every time they 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.360 try that, it doesn't work for very long because then 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.520 somebody gets hurt and then it switches it up. So 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.360 and Schy came in and finished the game. But but yeah, 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:33.039 I think Steele's probably your better option there. So I'm 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.720 just I'm just thinking it's it's nice that they said 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.680 he's out. We're not playing this game like he's out. 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:43.440 He's out this week. McCarthy even referenced that, like I 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.840 think it was. It's usually Todd Archer, him and him 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.440 and Archer have some fun back and forth, but Archer 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:51.400 was pushing him on something else, and he was like, 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.159 how about you just say thanks Mike for ruling tiring 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.920 out on a Monday instead of making you wait always. Yeah. 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.840 But but Todds to Todd's point, was like, well if 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.760 out six days, is he out forty? I mean, like 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.920 that's what it was, yeah, because I mean this got 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.360 this got aggravated last time, and he missed three games, 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.520 so I mean it's a fair question. Although and maybe 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.320 this is just me being defensive, but and I get it. 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:21.120 Tyrant's availability is a blinking red issue. Um it's been 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.919 a thing for like five years. But he had a 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.440 three hundred pound man fall on his ankle like that's 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.240 it's gnarly looking if you go back and look at it, like, 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.240 I don't know, I struggle with the whole thing of 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.880 like a Tyrants made a glass. You can't count on him, 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.920 Like it's fair, you can't count on him to be available, 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:41.719 but Governed fell on his ankle like this, I don't 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.560 know that that's that's tough. Would you be okay if 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:49.000 his next game is the playoffs? Depends on what happens 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.120 this week and next week. I mean, yeah, if you 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.599 if you wrap up let's let you wrap up the 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:57.240 division in this week and next week, then you know, 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.160 how how how much do you really want that game 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.040 against Arizona. We're gonna talk a little bit about that 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.680 later and what that could mean for the Cowboys. But 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.120 you know, if if if I get those two things 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.360 that where I'm wrapping up the division and I know 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.160 I got a home playoff game, I'm may be willing 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:14.839 to do it, especially if I look at it. I'm like, 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.360 you know, I think my offensive line is functioning. They're 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.440 still trying to win. You're trying to win the game. 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:21.520 I mean, you're gonna try to win these games because 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.240 if you even if you can get from three to 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:28.040 two or four to three, that's important. But I don't know. 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.240 I think Tyron's next game should be in the playoffs. 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.960 Saturday night. This wild card, what do you think Saturday? 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:35.960 It's got Sunday night written all over it. To me, 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:38.000 they love putting that. I mean, the last time they 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.120 made the playoffs, they played on Saturday. And I know 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.039 because I missed a wedding, I know, but I just 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:43.720 kind of feel like they're gonna do a Sunday night 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:46.200 because you know, this year they got the Monday night 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:47.800 as well. They have a Monday night game as well, 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:51.120 so yeah, there'll be Monday night playoffs starting this year. 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:52.880 So I'm kind of thinking they're gonna sing with the 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:54.800 Cowboys there on the Monday Night. But I don't know, 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:56.600 we'll see. I say the same thing that I've been 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:59.000 saying about Zeke. If he needs the time, like if 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.360 he's not healthy and he needs the time sit him down. 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.560 But if he can play, there's a variety of things. 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:08.880 I want him out there protecting Dak. You've still got 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.560 stuff to play for. And on top of that, this 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.960 offense like this, This is hardly a situation where you're like, yeah, 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.120 I get these guys some rest. It's like, no, we 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.679 need these guys playing and clicking and figuring out what's wrong. 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:23.960 Like is anybody that's healthy enough to play, I think 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.920 should be playing. But if he's not healthy enough to play, 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:28.960 then it's a move point. This is this is something 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.640 that we've seen happen many times around here that you 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.600 cover the team for a long time. You know, you 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:37.320 have veteran players that over time injuries just start to mount. 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.560 Is it getting to that point now where you think 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:42.840 or has it already been at this point where Dallas 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.360 really has to make tackle a priority. It's been the 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.800 off season. It's been at this point and it's and 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.800 that's not saying get rid of tied, just you got 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.520 to get an option. It's a bummer because I was 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.680 thinking about this last night after McCarthy ruled him out, 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.320 Like all through the off season, if you remember, I 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.840 was very bullish on Tire and Lyle both being available. 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.000 And what sucks is the neck really hasn't given him 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.360 any issues. Like the thing that was his problem for 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.679 so long has not been the problem. Now it's an ankle, 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.480 and it's this will be his fourth absence, I believe, 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:16.560 And so he's missing significant chunks of the season with 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:20.560 an entirely unrelated injury to what was the problem before. Yeah, 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.960 it's a huge problem. I mean I wanted him to 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.160 draft for Shaan Slater and we don't have. Obviously, they 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.720 made a great choice. We're not by the way is 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.240 playing his but that's that's my point, is like, and 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:34.880 they may, we're not second guessing the Mica pick, but 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.400 that's the fun of the draft is. Had they gone 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:39.439 that way, they would have a guy playing at a 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.640 Pro Bowl level. Maybe, I mean, he might not be 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.440 starting every week like he is for the Chargers, but 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:44.920 you could do a lot of fun stuff with him. 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.520 They didn't do it. It was a great decision. As 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.800 it turns out, they've got one of the best defenders 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:53.719 in the entire NFL as a rookie. But it is 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:57.120 something they have to They got to do something about it. 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:58.880 They have to and yeah, I don't want him to 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:00.280 get rid of tire and I don't think he talked 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.720 about this a few weeks ago. It's not even financially 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:04.920 a good idea in terms of like cap hits and 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.080 stuff like that. But I can't count on him. You 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.840 just can't, No, And that's why you didn't do anything 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.120 with Terrence Steele. That's why I think Lyell's the guy 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:16.600 to play right tackle, because you had to always factor 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:19.280 that part in. And that's what's what's happening right now. 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:23.480 How much is this offensive line affecting the offense's ability 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.880 to sustain drives, because that's a big problem for them. 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:27.920 We'll talk a little bit later in the next segment 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.640 about something that Jerry said regarding Dak. But how much 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:32.840 you think the offensive line is really where the issue 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:38.800 start for this offense. I'm not I'm I don't begrudge 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.200 you asking this, but like, I hate I just hate 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:45.319 it because it's it's everything like there's not I don't 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:46.960 I don't know if it starts with the offensive line, 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.840 because the quarterbacks also playing bad, and so are the receivers, 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.800 by the way, and also the running backs are hurt, 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.920 So like, who am I to Power Rank that I 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.400 don't think the offensive line has been at its best 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:00.680 during this rough stretch of three and three. Way, do 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.120 you think that the injuries and the inconsistency is the problem. 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.679 Nigga Like, yeah, that standpoint. Yeah, I mean I think it. 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:07.959 I think it kind of starts with the offensive line. 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.559 I mean, but this isn't anything new. They've kind of 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:13.839 been able to overcome it. I thought it was interesting though, 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:18.040 because even one yard has hasn't always been something the 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:21.320 Cowboys could go get. So getting that penalty after the 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.520 touchdown and moving the ball from the two to the one, 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.560 it's nine nothing, you're gonna go up ten nothing. And 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:28.800 I'm thinking, I think I even said to you, I 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.800 don't like this because or are you gonna run the 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.679 ball right up the middle because we haven't always seen that? 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.560 And they did and they scored, and so I was 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.360 kind of surprised by that. So that that showed me 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.200 that they get had a little bit of confidence. I 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:45.400 know it's a yard, but with that group in the middle, yeah, 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.439 you know, and so I I thought they actually ran 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.679 the ball. Okay, it was it was okay. As they 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.000 talked about yesterday, they kind of they just kind of 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.600 did it. They just kind of kept going at it, 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:58.959 kept that three yard average. As I was saying, I 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:00.880 don't think it's gonna get you me first downs as 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.520 we saw. But it was okay, right, I think it was. 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:06.560 I mean, I think Dak was the biggest problem though. 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:10.200 I think he just him and the receivers. I could 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:14.040 just like, just remember this play with Amari, just this 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:17.480 quick little screen. It could have been like at the forty, 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.319 or could have been the twenty or the ten. I 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.319 don't even know. It was somewhere over there, you know, 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:25.040 but possible to telling that press. Ye, Kyle's giving me 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.200 some water. I can't even Hey Kyle, what's up? Man? 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:31.040 Hey guys? Thanks? All right? You're doing now? Like you 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.240 got him running? Errand I asked him, I said, I 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.760 really need I'm a throw I sound sound about to say, man, 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.959 we need these pages up, all right? No, thank you 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.120 or not. Let's not joke about that. Say, oh, if 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:46.400 there were thirty seven positive tests in yesterday, that ain't 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:48.680 a joke. That's real. I know, I don't know something 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:53.160 one of them was on the plane with us. Oh gosh, okay, 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.839 well maybe now I feel uncomfortable yeah, right, you weren't 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.480 on the plane. I'm here.

No, That's that's what I was gonna say. 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.800 It's like I owe her so much for so many 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:38.360 great things that I've decided to do, and I can 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.120 look at her and be like, what the hell did 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.040 you talk me into? Like you just never know, you 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.760 never know with her. That's actually the side of a 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:47.360 really great relationship. That's a great friendship when you could 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:49.760 say the best and the worst is with you, Like, 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:53.120 that's a great frish. She's the best, all right, Welcome back. 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:54.560 It is a second segment of the break We Are 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.120 Alive from the s WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.400 Let's talk about Cedric Wilson. He was at it yesterday 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.800 to the COVID list with Noah Brown already on ir 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:06.160 what happens with that fifth wide receiver spot? My League Turner, 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:09.240 he's the fourth, right, Yeah, I mean that the fifth 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.600 well semi Pahoco do they do? I guess what I 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.160 should have asked. League Turner moves up into central spot 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.520 at this point. Do you think they can stric down 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.600 to just keeping those four as the guys they play 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.480 the most? Or yeah? Yeah if Simmy, If Simmy was 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:25.280 gonna get some run, I feel like he would have 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:28.120 done it when Lamb and Cooper were both unavailable. Somebody 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.200 somebody asked us about that a week or so ago, 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.040 and I get it. I mean, and that it goes 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.600 back to the Jabril Cox thing back during training camps, 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.000 like why isn't he playing? It's like who's coming off 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.520 the field for him. There's a couple of things though, 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:46.040 Domino effects here, Tony Pollard's injury, Zeke because I don't 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.040 know if it's if it's like a third and three 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:49.880 and I got to get an outside run. I think 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:51.840 eighty eight the guy. Yeah, that was gonna be the 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:54.960 next question. So that might trickle in down to where 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.240 Fahoko will play a little bit more because one of 0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:00.080 your receivers is you know. Yeah, let's back up a 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.040 second on that. What do you guys think about them 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:03.960 using him in that way? Because we've seen teams in 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:07.400 the NFL recently over the last couple of years using 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:10.000 wide receivers more lining them up as running backs and 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.520 running the ball with them with these injuries. Do you 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:14.480 did you like what they did with Cede Lamb there? 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:19.000 I loved it with the caveat I think of Okay, 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.160 let me let me be clear, Like I'm not saying 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.439 Pollard's not a physical player, but go back to the 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.040 beginning of his career and it was like, I get it, 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:28.000 Zeke's going to do his thing. He's the bell cow. 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.719 But like they've got a manufacturer, more touches for this 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:34.800 guy and until everybody's healthier. That's how I feel about Lamb. 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:38.120 I don't want him banging between the tackles like he's 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:41.000 not that hitt he took too. He ain't. He ain't 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:43.280 built for that. No offense. I'm not saying he's not tough, 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:47.040 but he's gonna get hurt. Yeah, that's you don't have 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:50.520 a running back. I just usually I don't want him 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:52.520 in a position where he's taken a shot like that 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:55.280 more than once or twice a game. But until everybody's 0:17:55.320 --> 0:18:00.119 healthy or healthier, find him six to eight touches the 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:03.280 run again, jet sweeps. If you want to do it 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:06.400 at running back, that's fine, But there's a dozen ways. Nick. 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.440 Thank you for saying that, because, like people were so 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:11.720 mad during the game, They're like, what's with all these 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.520 screens And I'm like, they would probably be working if 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.199 they were where they were supposed to be. Dak was 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.959 not leading those guys at all. You gotta catch it 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:23.960 moving forward and just go and I mean guys were 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:28.720 jumping for screens, they were out. Yeah, Dak was off. 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:32.439 I think Washington was probably the worst that he's played 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:36.439 during this entire stretch of mediocre games. Like even he 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:38.800 probably played better against Kansas City. If I had to guess, 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:40.560 i'd have I mean, i'd have to go back and rewatch. 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:42.840 But I just I thought he was bad in Washington 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:45.920 and he didn't do his receivers any favors. But again, 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:49.720 throw it eighteen yards to cd out on the perimeter 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:52.800 at the line of scrimmage. That is effectively a run 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:54.879 if if you put it where it's supposed to be 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:56.840 and give him a chance to run, So yeah, I 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:58.480 think he needs to be a part of that until 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:02.520 Tony's healthy. Because I was given some advice to the 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:05.920 Social team on certain graphics that they could do after 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:08.159 the game, and there was a couple of stats that 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:11.280 were really out there and didn't like it. I was like, 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:13.840 how about if they win, how about that being eight 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:16.680 one against Washington, you know, And I think they went 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.200 with that, but it just seemed kind of weird because 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:22.440 there's like, he didn't just go out and just dominate Washington. 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:25.600 I mean, he's dominating. It'll go on his record. But yea, yeah, 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:28.280 it was a game about the defense. Really, Yeah, definitely 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:30.680 about the defense. I had a whole I mean that 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:33.320 the Social teams the same way, but like I had 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:36.159 a whole little folder of things that I wanted to 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:38.720 tweet out that I had put together, especially with Mike 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:42.120 McCarthy guaranteeing the win and everything, and by the time 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:44.159 it was over, I was like, I'm just not going 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:46.480
