As thank god, we're turning the calendar 36 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: to twenty twenty one tomorrow with the Cowboys still in 37 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: this NFC East race with one game to go, and 38 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: as we've been talking about, uh, the the Cowboys have 39 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: to win. They got to beat the Giants, and they 40 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: need Philadelphia to beat the Redskins. And the Cowboys were 41 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: busy today not beat the Washington football team. You can't 42 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: get me to go along with you today on my 43 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: own show. Well, I was the first time I've done 44 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: that in ages. May. He only does that when you're 45 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: around Okay, I think you're nervous, man. He does it 46 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: right every time. That's the first time he's ever said that. No, Actually, 47 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: I get too comfortable when I'm around Nate, right, I 48 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: just kind of let my hair out. Yeah, he brings 49 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: out the worst today. I think maybe sometimes Nathan Ie fags. 50 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: We are the We are the optimists. We are the 51 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: most optimistic Cowboy fans as as as former players. I 52 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: don't know about if Nate's changed his style, but minus 53 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 1: still the same. I never pick against the Cowboys, no 54 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: matter how bleak the situation. So thank you we have 55 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: that in common. Guess we don't have to spend that 56 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: last segment then making picks because I know what your 57 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: gates are doing. Yeah, yeah, just just to pick the click, 58 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: not about who's gonna win, just to click. Hey, let 59 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: me let me give everybody a little bit of a 60 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: practice update from today, since it was pouring down rain 61 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys did practice indoors, which means the media 62 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: was not allowed to watch, so myself and Rob Phillips 63 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: were the pool reporters keeping an eye on the portion 64 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: of practice that we were able to see. And I 65 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: can tell you that Ezekiel Elliott, who practiced fully yesterday 66 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: and was off the injury list, opened up the first 67 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: portion of practice working on the resistant chords. But he 68 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: looks like he's ready to go, so that's a good sign. 69 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy seemed very confident that he would be good 70 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: to go. Also, a Xavier Woods and Chitabey Awoozier both 71 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: limited yesterday. They look good to me. If I was 72 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 1: a betting man, I'd say they're eighty ninety percent ready 73 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: to go. On Sunday. They were moving well in the 74 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: drills we got to watch. I would imagine yesterday they 75 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: were limited because they just didn't want to overdo it 76 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: in practice, but they looked good to go. Not practicing still. 77 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: Darren Thompson in concussion protocol. I don't think he makes 78 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: it back in time for the game. Uh Nora will 79 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: Layton Vanderish with a high ankle sprain. I would imagine 80 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: he's a week or two away from even thinking about 81 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: playing again. And Donovan Wilson, who we reported yesterday on 82 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: this show that he was not at practice. He wasn't 83 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: there because of an illness, and he's not there again today. 84 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: So you hope that whatever he has clears up in 85 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: time for the game. And Rashad Robinson, who's been having 86 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: I believe it was a knee problem. I don't. He's 87 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: not there, he's not going to practice, yes, Nate, you 88 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: said don You said Donovan Wilson. Yeah, Wilson, Yeah, he 89 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: was ill, Yes, and he was ill again today. Go 90 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: to work, Nick, if one guy we need on the 91 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: defenses him, Okay, so find out before the show over 92 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,239 Speaker 1: with please Donovan Wilson you perk may use. That felt 93 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: like a German show but almost a Yeah. Now, Donovan 94 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: had the growing problem yesterday. We talked about growing yesterday. 95 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: Rights facts. Yeah, but they listened. They listened, and they 96 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: listed it as an illness because the groin was what 97 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,239 Speaker 1: bothered him why he missed the pre the two games ago. 98 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: But they had listened with an illness. So to me, 99 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: that's encouraging because whatever you have, you can take something 100 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: maybe and you just rest now and get back out there. 101 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: So uh, for Ninja standpoint, you know they were indoors 102 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: And here's one thing, and I bet you guys will 103 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: like this. Uh, they opened up the garage doors on 104 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: the I think it's the east end of the Ford Center, 105 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: so they would get some cold air in there for practice, 106 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: maybe to simulate working at the Middle Lands on Sunday 107 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: just a little bit. Well, now what they have to 108 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: do then is to actually kick a field goal while 109 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: those doors. Yeah, right, and worked, didn't That how it 110 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: worked in Jersey? That's that's what I always heard. I 111 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: was there. I didn't know protocol, but I know that 112 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: even with the Cowboys, and when I left the Giants, 113 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: they talked about opening up the breezeway and therefore the 114 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: kicks will go a ride. So that's something that we 115 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: need to practice. But I wanted to ask Nate what 116 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: you like about Donovan Wilson man talk to his energy, 117 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: his ability to come up and hit people, you know, 118 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: like I know ever since when y'all played great Ball 119 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: as corners, you you and went fellows, when y'all were 120 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: playing nicest corners, y'all knew y'all Satans was lights out 121 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: with Michael Downs And I think and see, for the 122 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: life of me, and I keep trying to and I'm hoping. 123 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: I know, this kid maybe not a premial starter in 124 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: our league, but I hope he is that glue. That's okay. 125 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: At least we got to thumper back the striking. I 126 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: gotta when you come across that middle. Now, he's got 127 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: to be a little bit smarter with you know, with 128 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: some of his shots, to keep his head up, put 129 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: his shoulder in a little bit more. But we this 130 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: is what we've been missing, a kid that will help 131 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: us get turnovers. This this kid's a striker man and 132 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,119 Speaker 1: he and he to me, he's valuable. Now to somebody else, 133 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: he may be just another guy, but to me, he's 134 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: a valuable guy because he brings energy. He I mean he, 135 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I love that man. When the last time 136 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: we had a guy excited that's doing something, not excited, 137 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: that's just running around excited and doing you see, that's 138 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: the different thing. That's a huge difference. He knows what 139 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: he's doing back there. He's approach to the ball is precise. 140 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: I don't want somebody back there who's got great intentions. 141 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: Yeah right, but he goes out there and he misses. 142 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: Everything comes up at the wrong angle. You know, we're 143 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: turning the fifteen yard en route to a sixty yard touchdown. 144 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: See there's the kind of thing stop cut this guy. 145 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: You know. My thoughts on Donovan Wilson as he couldn't 146 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: be the second coming of drive by right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 147 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: But I know what I liked about him, not just 148 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: his attack attacking style Nate. I liked the way he 149 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: got that football the other day. He cut the wide 150 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: receiver off to make that play. If he doesn't cut 151 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: in there at the right time, that tight end has 152 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: a chance to catch that ball. That was a very 153 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: timely interception for us, and to me, it's kind of 154 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: shows the other kids and the other safeties especially, this 155 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: is how you attack a ball. Next thing, you though, 156 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: Anthony Brown's got two and all of a sudden we're 157 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: a prolific secondary. So that's what I'm talking about. The 158 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: team that is so nice about this. You know, I've 159 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: had people say, well, it ain't against the top flight quarterback. Okay, 160 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: I grant you all of that, but whether it was 161 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: top flight or not top flight four games ago, when 162 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: nobody getting interception, that's right there. There was no fight. 163 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: You have to start somewhere. Yeah, you have to start 164 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: somewhere and That's why I give these cowboys a fighting 165 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: chance to be successful, because they're they're enthusiastic about it. Uh. 166 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: It's amazing how we're not even talking about the defensive coordinator, 167 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: because that's all we could talk about for the first 168 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: up until four weeks ago. Now it's about the football players. Now, 169 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: the coaches are getting the chance to see, Okay, he's 170 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: a starter, he's not a starter. If I can get 171 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: him twenty five plays, if we can bring it, they 172 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 1: know when this off season comes, they would know their 173 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: team ever since Mickey. They would know their team, you know, 174 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: and this is gonna be and this is gonna be significant. 175 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 1: It's gonna be significant since we're talking about the defense 176 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: because the Giants have been struggling over the last month 177 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: scoring points. Uh you know, last games they haven't scored 178 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: any more than nineteen points. And during their three game 179 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: losing streak they've scored seven, six, and thirteen. So they've struggled. 180 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: So this defense, yeah, they need to step up and 181 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: make sure that all of a sudden they don't have 182 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: some renaissance and start scoring points. This defense has to 183 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: play that well to give this team a chance to 184 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: go up there and win a game that not only 185 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: that they need to win, they should win, no matter 186 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: sitting there at six and nine, whatever the record is, 187 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: that's a team that they should beat if indeed they 188 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: want to earn a spot in these playoffs. And you know, 189 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: go ahead, and they go ahead. Ask you a question 190 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: to mek A question I got into a little difficulties 191 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: with my last gentleman on our show. Do you look 192 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 1: at this team as just an average team? On some 193 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys are a good team. I think 194 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: they're a good team team because now they're beating the 195 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: average teams and I think they're just a good team. 196 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: And they're not a great team by no needs, But 197 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: I think they're a good team because the holes are 198 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 1: not as big. To me, they're still defensive holes that 199 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: need to be filled, but they're not as as massive 200 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: as I first stopped up until four weeks ago. What 201 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: are your thoughts ever since? Mickey? I want to just 202 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: get some different opinions. Go ahead, Okay, Well I will, okay, 203 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: because you know what, you know what the thing I 204 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: want to say, go ahead, Here's I wanted to say. Fact, 205 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: when you don't when you don't talk about your defensive coordinator. 206 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: That's when you know you're bawling, right, Natan. Yeah, when 207 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 1: you when you keep When Mike Nolan's name is not 208 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 1: mentioned for the last four weeks or so, that means 209 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: something good is going down and we're not looking for 210 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: a scapegoat. Okay, And as far as I'm concerned about 211 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: this team, this team is a good team. And the 212 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: reason it's a good team now is because the defense 213 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: came to the table right. Offensively, we all has had 214 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: some type of production, but we always need the defense 215 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: to answer for us, to be that that support for 216 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: us offensively. And if you're talking about an entire team, Nate, 217 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: this is what I tell Spags and the guys all 218 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 1: the time. You gotta be good and all fastest of 219 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: the game, that special teams as well, And I think 220 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: we have a very good special teams with Ceedee Lamb 221 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: back there. I'm looking for this guy to break one 222 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: real soon. I'm talking about to the house because the 223 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: special teams is right for making for continuing to make 224 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: big plays for us. So I think when you're looking 225 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: at all fastests, like you said, just a good team, 226 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: not a great team yet. But I'll take that good 227 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: team when that entire units together. They're all thinking together, 228 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: and no matter who fails or who doesn't make or play, 229 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: somebody's gonna cover your butt. That's the kind that's a 230 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: team right there. See. And I think that what happens is, 231 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: I know everybody wants to diminish what they've done in 232 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: this three game winning streak because of who they've beaten. 233 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: You can only beat who they tell you to play, right, 234 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,719 Speaker 1: and they beat teams that were kind of their own ill, 235 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: which they should have done what a good team would do. 236 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: But I also wanted to point out that since the 237 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys beat Cincinnati, they ended up beating Pittsburgh and Houston. 238 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: Since the Cowboys beat San Francisco, they beat Arizona. Now 239 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: the Eagles will see what happens this week. But during 240 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: their losing streak here, I believe they've lost six of 241 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: the last seven. Their one win was against the Saints. 242 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: So these teams have kind of showed that they can 243 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: win some games. But you beat them and that's all 244 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: that counts. And you scored thirty points in each one 245 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: of these games and came away with ten takeaways. Those 246 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: are the things you should be doing against the team 247 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: that you don't think is very good or everybody else 248 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: doesn't think it's very good. So I'm sort of with this, 249 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: you know. And Andy Dalton said it last week after 250 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: the game, you know, say they get into the playoffs 251 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: and everybody's gonna go like, oh, they're seven and nine, 252 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: They're in the playoffs. Whatever you did before doesn't matter. 253 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: It only matters now going forward. And thank god it's 254 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: a new year. Maybe something's changing that once we get 255 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: past today, that twenty twenty one will be much kinder, 256 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: uh than twenty twenty has been, uh, not only to 257 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: the Cowboys but basically to the all of us.

And the Cowboys players, a bunch of them, 325 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: probably a dozen or so, all met at Cowboys Cafe 326 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: to watch the game that night, And I want to 327 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: set the scene for you because that was before they 328 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: expanded the cafe, and there was over a hundred people 329 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: in there. Along with ABC, which was televising the Monday 330 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: night game at that time, sent a TV crew there 331 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: to be able to interview these guys and get their 332 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: reaction during the game. So here's what happened. And Nate, 333 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: you'll remember this better than probably myself. But the Cowboys 334 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: started the season off three and seven, very similar to 335 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: this year, and went on a four game winning streak 336 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: to get to seven and seven, and because they had 337 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 1: beaten the Saints early in December, all they had to 338 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: do was win one of the last two games, either 339 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: beat Philadelphia or beat uh Atlanta, and they were going 340 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: to the playoffs at eight and eight. Well, first quarter 341 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: of the Philadelphia game, Troy separates his shoulder that incomes 342 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: Babe Laufenberg and unfortunately, the offense didn't function too well, 343 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: so the Cowboys lose. The offense didn't function well. The 344 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: offense did well, that's nice, Babe. Babes numbers worked great, 345 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: So they lose that game, but still they had a 346 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: chance to go to Atlanta, and had they beaten the 347 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: Falcons in the final game of the season and finished 348 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: eight and eight, they're going to the playoffs as the 349 00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: third wild card team. Well, it's raining in Atlanta, right, Nate. 350 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 1: The field is muddy, torn up, Uh County Stadium. The 351 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,719 Speaker 1: Peach Bowl was the day before, and they tore up 352 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:16,719 Speaker 1: that grass field. Uh. Babe ends up getting intercepted three times, 353 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: won by some and took one back to the house. 354 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: Cowboys got beat twenty six to three. They had a 355 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: kickoff return for a touchdown, and poor Babe got the 356 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: ever living daylights beat out of him. They blitzed and 357 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: blitzed and blitzed, right. And here was a line from 358 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: my story that day. I said they they pounded Babe 359 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: Laffenburg harder than you would round steak. That was kind 360 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: of stupid, right, He was getting hit every time he 361 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: dropped back the pass. Oh, it was unbelieved. Oh my god. 362 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: So you remember that game right there? Yeah, because Babe 363 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: was so bad. So I think I fell on him 364 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: a couple. Then you got a half a sac game. 365 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 1: Oh man, It's like baby game so many time. One 366 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: time Babe was giving me a hand up, like bro, 367 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 1: I know how bad it was. As a matter of fact, 368 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: there was a quote after the game, Date was apologizing. 369 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: He he was like, oh my gosh, I thought we 370 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 1: were gonna get that guy killed. Was Atlantis. They were like, 371 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: didn't know, They're just blitz. They had Dione out there, man. Yeah, 372 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: and that took care of that side of the field. 373 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: We wasn't gonna throw the ball over there at all. 374 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: But things Babes was. Babe was under such siege at 375 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: the time to Babe was throwing it anywhere. But he 376 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: I'm not holding on to this ball, y'all what you 377 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: wanted to So so anyway, did did the Falcons make 378 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: the playoffs? No playoffs? They only won five games? For games, yeah, 379 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: that was their fifth. But they had Prime out the man. 380 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: They had Prime out there on one corner. I don't think. 381 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: I don't know who the other corner was. Man. They 382 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: they they was braying it man. So anyway for the 383 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: Ba Babe man. So anyway, the Cowboys still had an 384 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: opportunity because they had the tiebreaker over the Saints and 385 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: they just needed the Rams to win the game. So 386 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: we're sitting there watching this game. The Saints get off 387 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: to a seventeen to three lead, but the Rams come 388 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: back and tie it up with a minute seventeen to go. 389 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: Seventeen seventeen, and the guy the Cowboys traded away early 390 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 1: in the season, Steve Walsh, leads the Saints back down 391 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 1: the field into field goal position. Now, get this here, 392 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: here's how close they were to getting in at seven 393 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 1: and nine, which would have been the first team to 394 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: go from one win to the playoffs. The next season, 395 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: Martin Anderson's lining up for a twenty nine yard field 396 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: goal less than ten seconds to go to tie the game, 397 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: to win the game, right, to win the game. The 398 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: field goal gets blocked. Cowboys Cafe goes crazy, right, Well, 399 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 1: there's a flag on the field off sides. That cookily, 400 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: that's all about it. That's so I'm the retail everybody 401 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 1: all the time. We get the pandemic referee cruise all 402 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, so I'm the re kick from twenty 403 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: four yards out with two seconds left, Martin Anderson drills it. 404 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: Saints win twenty seventeen, and and that was New Year's 405 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: Eve at Cowboys Cafe. I think I had a quote 406 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: in my story from Lockhart and Eugene Lockhart saying that 407 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: was the hardest game I ever watched in my life. Yeah, 408 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: he probably didn't see it. All the beers time it 409 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 1: was free he owned, I think at that time was bad. 410 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: Mine in my own cafe, he getting all the free stuff. Yeah, 411 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: so let me say this right here. So anyway, I 412 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: just wanted to point out the difference between seven and 413 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: nine then and what people look at. If the Cowboys 414 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: go seven and nine this year, I tell it, you're here, 415 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: that's why, and I remember it and I try to 416 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: express that you're never out of this thing if your 417 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 1: division is that bad, which ours ours was at that 418 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: time too. Uh, here's two guys were bad. We weren't bad. No, 419 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: you guys were bad. Okay, I'm just I'm sorry we 420 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: were thirteen and three. What you want me to say, Nate, 421 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm gonna saying y'all. Y'all were not bad, 422 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: but you're the reason we won three super Bowls. Ever, 423 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: so we got rid of you. Okay, since you throw 424 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: it dark now, but you said we were bad, I'm sorry, 425 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: vision but we were bad, Dallas Cowboy, because you guys 426 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: inspired me, because I went to that Super Bowl that 427 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: year and saw you guys playing Tampa and that inspired 428 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: me to build a less fat of human coming into 429 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: next season. Well, here's what I've always said about you guys. 430 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: I remember when we came back in nineteen ninety of 431 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: the Giants, and it was the first game. Everybody made 432 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: a big deal about us coming back back home. Me 433 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: and d I C and all of that. It was 434 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: no big deal to us, except that we knew it 435 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: was gonna be hot as heck in that stadium. But 436 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: we ended up, Uh, we ended up. Not only were 437 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: we playing well that season, but when we played you guys, 438 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: I'm all happy about kicking y'all's button, like, yeah, way 439 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: to go, guys. I'm in the locker room like it 440 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: was all about me and I was. I went to 441 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,239 Speaker 1: LT and I said, hey boy, wait, way to come 442 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: in here and take care of some business. And he 443 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: had this. He looked tired. You know. First I was 444 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: hot out there, but he looked more tired than usual. 445 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: And his words were, hey man, those guys are gonna 446 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: really be good. I never forget him saying that. And 447 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: from being on you guys started making moves and so 448 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: it kind of put things into perspective. He wasn't celebrating. Yeah. 449 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: In fact, I think he by the guy's butt handed 450 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: to him a little bit at that game by Martin 451 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: Tulnat because I really wasn't celebrating much at all, and 452 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: he made that proclamation, he said, Man, these guys are 453 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: gonna be really good. So yeah, LT saw it coming. 454 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: I didn't, Oh, Okim, Well okay, uh. I tell you 455 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: Dre here that to win in this league is so hard. 456 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: I know eversonnoyed for Everson to come in and this 457 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: young part of his career to have all that success. 458 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: Then when I come to the Cowboys a curse and 459 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: we saw a lose it, I'm like, wow, I found 460 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: out how hard it was to win in it. And 461 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: that's why I'm saying to these Cowboys coach McCarthy has 462 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: did a massive job of controlling this damage. It's like 463 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: a tornado hit this team, and he's been controlling the damage. 464 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: And he neither said nothing bad or good about his 465 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: defense or his coordinator. And now he's got him through this. 466 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: So he has an opportunity, whether we like it or 467 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: not as fans, he has an opportunity to go to 468 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: mister Jones say don't get rid of a coordinator, and 469 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: mister Jones gonna listen to him, where as before six 470 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: weeks ago and then want nobody listened, nobody cared. So 471 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: that's damage control. Man. It's like a tornado hit this team, 472 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: and that's damage control. So will he go to mister 473 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: Jones and say, pay off that offensive coordinator. Don't let 474 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: him leave. He has grown tremendously. Y'all know how I 475 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,959 Speaker 1: felt when Jason was here. I was like, get rid 476 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: of this kid, dude, not let this kid ruin Jason. 477 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: I do not want nothing to do with this kid. 478 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: In the first ten games, I did not want anything 479 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: to do with this kid. This kid has grown. He 480 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: understands how to set tempo with this offense, and he's 481 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: done it with a good, solid quarterback in Dalton. He's 482 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: done it with a good tight end and three outstanding 483 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: receivers and a running back that was struggling. He has 484 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: done it. Now. Whether they not let him go or not, 485 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: that's not up to me. But what I was feeling 486 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: for this kid is not the same, you know, because 487 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: I promise you Everson and Mick you know how I felt. 488 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: Mick offer, I like, get rid of this dude. But 489 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: now he has grown, and once again we have matured 490 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: somebody so he can go some else and be successful. 491 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: And then we have then we have to groom someone 492 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: else and have these things all over again. Yeah, and 493 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: now six years from now we're here. We are man 494 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: ever some old ain't no teeth, and I here and 495 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna see.

Matter of fact, it woke me 544 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: up early this morning, and I don't think it's quit raining. 545 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 1: Since you guys realize what would have happened if it 546 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: was like ten degrees colder. Yeah, we'd be in New Jersey. 547 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: It'd be like it right, that's right. What would have happened? 548 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: You'd have been outside shoveling snow off your driveway. Huh 549 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: it have been ten ten degrees cou'd have just not 550 00:34:53,800 --> 00:35:00,879 Speaker 1: got out of my bed looking at chat Yeah whatever, Yeah, 551 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 1: I mean about hibernating the bar Is Haberna. Hey, I 552 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: wanted to point out one other little stat here going 553 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: into this game, since we were talking about offense and 554 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: we're talking about Kellen Moore, I noticed this Giant's defense 555 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: has been very susceptible to the run. In five of 556 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: the last six games. Philadelphia went for one fifty six 557 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: against him Seattle one eleven, Arizona one fifty nine, Cleveland 558 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: one oh six, and Baltimore in this last game two 559 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: hundred and forty nine yards rushing. So you think they 560 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: can go up there and maybe run the football no 561 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: matter what the weather is or what the temperature is. Yeah, 562 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: I mean that's gonna be the safest about to go. 563 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: I think when you look at this Cowboys team, we 564 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: can beat you in any ways. But I'm very surprised 565 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: about the Giants defense. I think one point, you know, 566 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: before they started having these wolds with the Russian game, 567 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: they were like a citious defense. They beat Pittsburgh. If 568 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 1: I'm not in the state, who did they beat Pittsburgh. 569 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 1: What they upset Spats. I got a couple of really 570 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: nice wins to where all of a sudden they brought 571 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 1: along with the Cowboys success and Washington some credibility to 572 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: the NFC East, especially on the defensive side of the ball, 573 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, like you said, the Wolds started 574 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: as far as the running game was concerned, and now 575 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 1: they haven't. They haven't really shown that in the victory's standpoint. 576 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 1: They beat Sea Seattle, that's the one you were thinking 577 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 1: about at Seattle. They want at Seattle and won big win. Yeah, 578 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,280 Speaker 1: go ahead and Nate. It seems like when you stopped 579 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: getting turnovers, you would think the passing game for the 580 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 1: other team would get better. But when you stopped creating turnovers, 581 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,760 Speaker 1: it seemed like the running game get better for other teams. 582 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,239 Speaker 1: And now the same with us who aren't getting no turnovers. 583 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: And I guess you get turnovers and get your team short. 584 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: Feels it makes other offensive coordinated panic. He go to 585 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 1: putting the ball. So but when you ain't getting no turnovers, 586 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: they're like, okay, we'll run whatever we want to run. 587 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 1: Let's run this ball and go play action pass the 588 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 1: sprintouts and that's what that's They're in the same position 589 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: we were four weeks ago. They're in that position, no turnovers, 590 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: can't score points, go face his short fields, and that's 591 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: not a very good thing. Don't you think that's what 592 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 1: happened to Philadelphia. Don't you think that's what happened to 593 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: Philadelphia When they started turning the ball over, he quit 594 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: trying to run and just throw through through. You know 595 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: what happened to Philadelphia because this is a sore spot 596 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 1: with me. The day of the draft when they got 597 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts that it was the wrong thing to do. 598 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: And that's what happened to Philadelphia, And they ain't been 599 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 1: right since you paid this kid one hundred million dollars. 600 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: You keep all the receivers who hate him, and then 601 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: you get rid of the coach that was good for 602 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,320 Speaker 1: him and Frank Wright, and all of a sudden you 603 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,479 Speaker 1: go out and draft Jalen Hurts and you say, what's 604 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 1: wrong with Philadelphia? A It's like who likes Jr? Who 605 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,720 Speaker 1: likes wins? And that's what wrong with Philadelphia? I promise 606 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:19,359 Speaker 1: you well, when they drafted him, did they draft him 607 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: to play quarterback or did they just like his ability 608 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 1: to play all positions. Who that Jayden slot receiver, they 609 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 1: could have thrown it to him and then the trick 610 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 1: play major. They wanted to be more diverse. I thought 611 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 1: they were trying to enhance customs ability to be productive. 612 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 1: I mean he had just come off the MVP year 613 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: or something like that. I just quarterbacks mindsets. You can 614 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 1: be Aaron Rodgers, who've won a Super Bowl, and you 615 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,319 Speaker 1: go out and draft somebody not to help his team. 616 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 1: But Aaron saying, ain't nothing more than what y'all have 617 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: been doing. I've been tolding the team for the last 618 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: eight years. I'll just be even better this year. And 619 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: so when DeVante alass planning he's unstoppable. Okay, but this 620 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:09,960 Speaker 1: kid went says, never ever took him to the Promised Land. 621 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 1: He's never finished when he started. And you give him 622 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars assuring that he would finish, he 623 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 1: would start. Whatever he started, he would finish. He got 624 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: hurt and came back and barely beat the Cowboys a 625 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: year ago, and all of a sudden, you thought that 626 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,320 Speaker 1: was gonna launch him. And they say, guess what, we 627 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,640 Speaker 1: ain't giving you no break. Hey, Jayalen, come home from Oklahoma, 628 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 1: we will ruin it even further for you. So, having 629 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,880 Speaker 1: said that, do you guys have any confidence in Philadelphia 630 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:49,240 Speaker 1: beating Washington? The reason I don't, it's because Jalen Hurts 631 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 1: will put the ball on the ground and the strength 632 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 1: of the Washington football team. They got two defensive ends 633 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 1: that ain't joking. They got two tackles on the inside 634 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 1: that's smoking, and they got linebackers that would clean your clock. 635 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,759 Speaker 1: And they got opportunistic dvs that ain't great. But what 636 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,240 Speaker 1: else the paul gonna fall to me? Because these guys 637 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: up front gonna make it happen. That's why I'm not 638 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 1: giving them a chance. Jalen. They're not gonna let this 639 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 1: kid run all over them. They're not, so he gonna 640 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,279 Speaker 1: have to throw it all over them, and that would 641 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 1: be the key. If he throw it over them, they'll 642 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: win the game. Well, Nate, I'm looking for I'm looking 643 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 1: for the little general to live up to his promise. 644 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz promised me and I'm all Cowboys fans. He 645 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 1: is not gonna let these guys have a hat game 646 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,880 Speaker 1: in his stadium. So there will be no champion, there 647 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,920 Speaker 1: will be no NFC East Division champion hats worn in 648 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 1: Philadelphia this weekend. That is not gonna happen, because Jim 649 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:57,760 Speaker 1: said it ain't gonna happen. Now you talk about Washington's pluses, 650 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,840 Speaker 1: I talked about what's not going well with Watson. The 651 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 1: first of all, the quarterback position is in serious dis array. 652 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if Alex Smith is going to play 653 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,840 Speaker 1: or not. I don't know how healthy he's gonna be. 654 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 1: Hold it a story, hold it right there. Ever since 655 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:15,880 Speaker 1: so today, yes, actually took part in drills. Yesterday, he 656 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 1: did not practice, but he was seen in their walkthrough 657 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 1: part of practice, taking first team reps. So, but they 658 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,160 Speaker 1: didn't have pads on our helmets at that time. So 659 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 1: we'll see where it goes. And one other thing they're missing. 660 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson, they're running back, hasn't practiced all week. And 661 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin, the wide receiver, has been working with the trainers. 662 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,759 Speaker 1: But go ahead, no that there you go. No running game, 663 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:48,360 Speaker 1: passing game except for Alex Smith's courage, really has nothing 664 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 1: to show at this time. I think McLaurin is still 665 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,319 Speaker 1: playing good ball, but he hadn't been playing that well 666 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: since Alex Smith has been out because he hadn't been 667 00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:02,759 Speaker 1: able to be targeted effectively. What I'm looking at is defensively, 668 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,319 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a struggle for both offensive is gonna 669 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 1: be a struggle for both teams against both teams. Defense. 670 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,920 Speaker 1: Looking for Philadelphia to be inspired enough that their hate 671 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:17,840 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys won't be as strong as their hate 672 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,800 Speaker 1: for the Red for the Washington football team. I promise 673 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:26,880 Speaker 1: you this right here, every local druggists would be at 674 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 1: that stadium offered their services to the quarterback other Washington 675 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:37,719 Speaker 1: football I can get you through this game. Try this, 676 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 1: watch and this in DC so he can find it. 677 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,319 Speaker 1: They'll find it in DC. They'll find it. They'll rub 678 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:53,000 Speaker 1: that calf down right, Yes, sir, with every aunt met 679 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:57,279 Speaker 1: you ever thought of. We only got a few minutes left. 680 00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you guys this, when you look 681 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 1: at this cowboy his team, and you know, we know 682 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 1: all the problems they had, you know, up until this 683 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,400 Speaker 1: three game winning streak, give me one thing, one person 684 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,399 Speaker 1: maybe that developed that you're saying, okay, twenty twenty one, 685 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 1: and you can't say Donovan Wilson because you're already pointed 686 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,839 Speaker 1: that out. Twenty twenty one, we got something we can 687 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 1: work with here. Everson, well, he didn't start off the 688 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,800 Speaker 1: season as a starter, and I really loved the starter 689 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 1: that was in his place. I thought Jolin was a blake. 690 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,920 Speaker 1: Joan was a heck of a tight end, and Chultz 691 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,719 Speaker 1: had his problems early on blocking and even catching the ball. 692 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,279 Speaker 1: But I look for him to really use this year 693 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 1: to explode into next year. He can give us a 694 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,279 Speaker 1: great one two punch at the tight end spot, and 695 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,480 Speaker 1: he when it's all said and done, even on his 696 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 1: worst day, he blocks. He blocks better than Blake Jarlin. 697 00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 1: So to me, I think he will improve in that 698 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,239 Speaker 1: position and he would be an all around tight end 699 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,880 Speaker 1: for the Dallas Cowboys. Any body of the defense you 700 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 1: got nick defensively, yeah, I would. I would just go 701 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 1: with take Dix. I would just go with it. I'm sorry, Uh, 702 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 1: Trevon did, Yeah, Treyvon did. I would go we'll call 703 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 1: him what we want, Yeah, yeah, t t Dis. I 704 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,799 Speaker 1: would say t Dix is going to be a very 705 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,960 Speaker 1: good defensive back, but he's gonna still take a few 706 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:32,799 Speaker 1: more lumps offensively. I want to say take my hat 707 00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,400 Speaker 1: off to coach Filming because he has always had these 708 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:40,279 Speaker 1: guys ready and prepared to play, and now that our 709 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 1: offensive coordinate his working hand in hand with him and 710 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,680 Speaker 1: calling the right plays in the right time and the 711 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,800 Speaker 1: rights situations. I want to say, Coach Filman, great job. 712 00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,520 Speaker 1: Great job. I mean you you had the leash to 713 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,759 Speaker 1: work with. Besides, since we got rid of all that 714 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 1: wasted on defense, you've had the leash to work with, 715 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,040 Speaker 1: and you've made the most out of for my offensive 716 00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,480 Speaker 1: prison and on my defensive side. I don't care what 717 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 1: you say to me. That striker called Donovan Wilson. I 718 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:11,960 Speaker 1: love your baby, I love coming. I know Nick to 719 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,760 Speaker 1: want me to bring that bring your name up, Donovan Wilson. 720 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,279 Speaker 1: That's my guy, all right, and missed the energy and 721 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,759 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take. I'm gonna take. And it's not a 722 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,840 Speaker 1: new guy, but it's a it's an old guy who's 723 00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 1: a new person. And I think Randy Gregory is showing 724 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,480 Speaker 1: that he could be a stud in this league. He 725 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,840 Speaker 1: seems he and I always say this, he seems to 726 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 1: have turned his life around. And I think what he 727 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 1: did in this last game is very representative of what 728 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,760 Speaker 1: he can be now that he's got his sea legs 729 00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:48,920 Speaker 1: under him. I think we all forget he missed those 730 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:53,399 Speaker 1: first six games, missed basically the seventh the seventh game, 731 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,880 Speaker 1: played very little as the season was going along, and 732 00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,759 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, the more snaps he got, 733 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:04,360 Speaker 1: you can see how destructive he can be against an offense, 734 00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:08,840 Speaker 1: especially if you don't have a big time left tackle 735 00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,640 Speaker 1: to to be able to deal with him. And I 736 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:13,879 Speaker 1: just like, I don't know if you guys been able 737 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:19,719 Speaker 1: to listen how he's handled his interviews. He's speaking, He's 738 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:24,120 Speaker 1: just speaking so uh with a clear man yes, and 739 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:30,440 Speaker 1: and and and just aggressive, not aggressively, but just meaningful, right, 740 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 1: no wasted words. And I'm thinking, gosh, this guy might 741 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,319 Speaker 1: have it together. And if he's together, they may get 742 00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 1: the guy they thought they were drafting and took a 743 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,760 Speaker 1: chance on in twenty fifteen. So to me, Randy Gregory 744 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,239 Speaker 1: going forward, uh, certainly would be a bright spot. I 745 00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,000 Speaker 1: guess we don't have to spend a lot of time 746 00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,560 Speaker 1: picking the games, right you guys, you know you want 747 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:56,480 Speaker 1: to give me a score, you know. Yeah? By the way, 748 00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,479 Speaker 1: Anthony B. Anthony Brown's getting another pick. Anthony Brown's getting 749 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 1: another pick this weekend, by the way, going three for three, right, third, third, 750 00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,920 Speaker 1: one in the third game, and since I was let 751 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,600 Speaker 1: out of jail, Nate, because I swore off picking the 752 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:13,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys until they won two straight. So they won two 753 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,839 Speaker 1: straight and I picked him win last week. I'm going 754 00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:20,600 Speaker 1: for four now, four straight Cowboys, something like twenty six nineteen, 755 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:26,600 Speaker 1: something like that. No, thirty, don't don't mess up the street. 756 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:28,879 Speaker 1: Rather be over thirty. That's the only way we win. 757 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,399 Speaker 1: They got rid of my book, Lumbo, and I ain't 758 00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:37,840 Speaker 1: got none fun you you Lumbo man, because he stood 759 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,759 Speaker 1: up to the head coach and they went down. I've 760 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 1: got kids. Don't talk to me that way, all right, 761 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:50,120 Speaker 1: we guys go man. Thanks a lot, Nate, Thanks for 762 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:54,600 Speaker 1: jumping in, Nate, I appreciate it. Everson. Uh, we'll talk 763 00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:58,120 Speaker 1: to you on Monday, and I think it probably should 764 00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,560 Speaker 1: be a victory Monday, and then we'll see what happens 765 00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:07,120 Speaker 1: with them.
