Speaker 1: on La la. You have to talk yourself into that sometimes,

11
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: still hard to forget. Stanning beat l a yeah, yeah,

12
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: little Laker Celtics style. So here we are ready to go.

13
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: But yesterday day they had a walkthrough. When I say

14
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: that in air quotations, of course, this is a short week.

15
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: They're coming off a hard Sunday night football game. So guys,

16
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: Mickey was already given us the rundown. What did you

17
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: see from that practice report? Mick, I saw from the practice,

18
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: not the practice. Let's go through the practice report. All

19
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: I thought you wanted. We're gonna go in chronological order. Oh,

20
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: you want me to answer to what was on the

21
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: unofficial practice? Root, Yes, yesterday practice. It's official, but it

22
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: was a estimation. How about all those limiteds that were Yes,

23
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: lots of limited's, Bailey called limiteds are out there. I

24
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: didn't see anybody missing. Tyron Smith, yeah, Jeff swainfool obviously,

25
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: Heath concussion. Yeah, but they didn't do anything yesterday. Okay,

26
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 1: today you saw today, Yeah, and go ahead. Jeff Heath

27
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: was practicing, and they were not practicing in shells or pads.

28
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: They were practicing it about. It was a little faster

29
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: than a walkthrough, a little bit more organized than a walkthrough,

30
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: but kind of like what we saw in Oxnard five

31
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: practice a little bit better than that because they actually

32
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: had helmets on and jerseys. Okay, So Jeff Heath was

33
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: out there with the first defense as well as Anthony Hitchins.

34
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: Now again no contact, right, but this was the way

35
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: they were practicing. And then when they went to the offense,

36
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith was working with the first team works first team,

37
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: and so those were the three guys of I think contention.

38
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: Sean Lee is out with his helmet and jersey outside

39
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: working on his rehab, so I think he's getting closer

40
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: and closer. Dan Bailey was acting like he either kicked

41
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: or will kick at some point in this practice. Is

42
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: this a Friday practice? To Garrett, it's a Friday practice

43
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: without l don't they normally wear shells? The reason asks

44
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: because Bailey goes out and kicks. If you ever notice

45
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: that outside our window, Besacchia takes him outside right and

46
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: they kick. Well from our Twitter verse, Shunley of course

47
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: was the only player not there, but Dan Bailey was

48
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: kicking off to the side. I would imagine that estimation

49
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: that you're discarding it's probably what exactly what's going to

50
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: be today because it's not a physical practice. This is

51
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: what they're planning on doing. Yeah, somebody gets hurt, so yeah, yeah,

52
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: I think Monday is a pretty good estimation. But but

53
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: going to look like Smith comes out at three o'clock

54
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith could be fooled day, he could be for

55
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 1: what they did. It could be so it's not an estimation,

56
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: it is exact, very accurate injury. Were they um, this

57
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: is a year ago? Did they go no shells last year? Wednesday?

58
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: The one practice they had in do you remember that?

59
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: I think they did. Okay, I think they did. And

60
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: the practice is going to be shorter, right. He's changed

61
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: the schedule to get him off their feet sooner. This

62
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: is probably because nighttime. That's what I was where I

63
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: was going is okay, Yeah, it's a home game, but

64
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: really he had a nighttime game Sunday, right, so that

65
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: probably hurt him a little bit. Yeah, league's not doing

66
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: any favors with a about you to guess the night

67
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: game at home is better than an away game on

68
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: the East Coast on Sunday. We did that before. Yeah,

69
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: and it was a night game when it was night game. Yes,

70
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: it got back at four or five in the morning.

71
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: You guys did, yes, and then got beat on Thanksgiving

72
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: thirty three to ten. Sleepwalk through that game. Yeah, DeMarcus

73
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: Lawrence with a shoulder limited out there out there, just fine,

74
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: not fighting through any pain. Blee Collins, Okay, out there,

75
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: first team out there? Who else? I'm trying to think

76
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: our boy, Hitch, you know he's coming back here. It

77
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: is out there. He was almost appalled by all the

78
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: questions in the locker room yesterday. He's just gunning for him. Yeah,

79
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: I was worried about that one. I was too. Yeah.

80
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: I just see him after the game. Didn't look like

81
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: he was feeling great, feeling better yesterday. He was still

82
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: walking gingerly yesterday. I thought in locker room when he

83
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: walked through, Plus he had a sleeve around his kneed. Also,

84
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: I thought Mickey was gonna have to suit up and

85
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: play some linebacker for this team. You never know they

86
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: would have needed you. Yeah, never know. Oh my goodness.

87
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: I mean it just seems like that's what they need

88
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: right now. They need somebody to be a playmaker on

89
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: that team. Ask you this, though, everything that you said

90
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: is good, first team and all that? Is that the

91
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: aspurn they needed? Is that cut against this team? Yeah?

92
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: It help? Does it? Does it cure that the two

93
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: game the two game bug you have? Right? And it

94
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: helps offensively? I think see and Tyron Smith out there

95
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: might add some coffee as long as he can play

96
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: like Tyron Smith. Yeah, they've got to move match up

97
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: with Ingram and Bosa who flip sides? But yeah, absolutely,

98
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: But is that the is it? Still doesn't it's? Dan

99
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: feel better about Nugent. I mean he counted for all

100
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: your points last week. Yeah, but yeah, I think so,

101
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: I mean, what's he made what does he like five

102
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: or six missed? He missed the thirty eight yard er, right,

103
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: that's it, right, he's missed an extra now he missed

104
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: or no, he's banged an extra point. I missed the

105
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: forty nine yarder the first one he attempts, so he's

106
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: missed two. So he's missed two. He's missed two. So nugents,

107
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: where's he add on this little list here? Whether they

108
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: do eliminate him? He's seven of nine. But is that

109
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: eight of eight on extra points? Giuse you hope? Then? Huh, yeah,

110
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: it gets If Dan Bailey's back to being Dan Bailey

111
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: and he still can kick those fifty yarders, then that

112
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: makes me feel a little bit better because I'm not

113
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: sure what nugent does after you know, fifty plus. But

114
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: you know, Dan Bailey, I mean, the guy's almost money

115
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: fifty five again. Yeah, Well, these games just haven't even

116
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: been close enough where you're relying on the kicks. Well,

117
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: but I mean, yeah, the kicker was accounting from the

118
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: point to your point? Does Tyrn Smith mean touchdowns? Hopefully,

119
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: that's the question I have. Hopefully it means you get

120
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: the ball somewhere. I mean you hopefully it's good to see.

121
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: It's good to see that switcher can maybe give you

122
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: a little fuel position. But the biggest problem, the biggest

123
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: problem here is you're not scoring points. Well. Does tarn

124
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: Smith make you feel like you could score points? Think

125
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: it's a domino effect. It's not having Zeke up back

126
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: where's huge touching the ball thirty times. But I think

127
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: there's a domino effect with Dak where you think maybe

128
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: with Tyron in there, he's holding the ball a couple

129
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: second or two longer, maybe you can let things develop

130
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: down the field and you don't have as many guys

131
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: staying in the block. Why's the quarterback had problems with

132
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: his accuracy pressure Mickey? Yes, yeah, I think so. You

133
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: think you think it just getting banged around has affected him.

134
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: I think that it has affected throws. Even if he

135
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: doesn't get sacked, he's getting hit. He's got hit sixteen

136
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: times the last two games. So then I besides twelve sacks,

137
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: so the guest and Tyren Smith in there would help,

138
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: and you should be able to put more guys out

139
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: in the in the pass pattern. Yeah, you don't have

140
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: to keep the tight end in or the running back

141
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: in or you know, turn the protection. That way, you

142
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: should have a better opportunity to say, okay, you block

143
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: that guy. I mean, how many times have they've given

144
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith help? Yeah, that happened very much. Teams last

145
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL and run defense been better. That been

146
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: better than the last month. Yeah, we gave up almost

147
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: five yards a carry. Yeah. I think I read somewhere

148
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: the first five games of the year it was only

149
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots or worse. It was like one hundred and

150
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: sixty yards a game they've allowed on the ground. Yeah,

151
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: Now it's they you know, they're down to about one hundred,

152
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: so it's it's improved, but it's the worst in the league.

153
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 1: You're right, I thought they were thirty second. Yeah, I

154
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: mean your yards per average, they're only New English were

155
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: Oh you mean yeah they gave up four yeah, carry four?

156
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: They almost give five yards? Is shot running the football

157
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: against these cats? All right, let's go one of the

158
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: best red zone defenses in the league, the Alfred Morris.

159
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: Even when Shaun Lee was out, Why was DeMarcus Lawrence

160
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: able to get more production than he is now? I

161
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: think I think he's developing this player. I think you're

162
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: starting to see him more as a complete guy, run

163
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: pass you know, not just not just a pass rush guy.

164
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: He's one of your better he is. He made a

165
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: couple of run stops, and I think I think you

166
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: could say he's your second best defender. Am I wrong

167
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: about that? Overall defender? Overall defender? Yes? Who are you

168
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: thinking about? Of their Hitchens? It's okay? Overall? Well, and

169
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: we sho gets sacks, Sean Lee, Sean Lee? Or who's

170
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: your second best player, yeah, Lawrence or But I'm not

171
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: overlooking Hitchens. Oh I'm not trying to either. No, I

172
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: think we're just talking like Hitchens. I think he's become

173
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: a more leg player. I mean, you see him play something.

174
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: He threw Lane Johnson now the way they did think

175
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: get enough of that though, threw Lane Johnson the way

176
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: minus one on a carry you know, got held but

177
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: got held by Johnson. Yeah, it got held a bunch.

178
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: He had five tackles in the game. D law won

179
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: for a loss. Yeah that's the one. First game he

180
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: didn't have a sack. No, he's had some. He had

181
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: one another one, Yeah, the Washington game did yeah, one

182
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: where David Irving, Yeah, Washington, he didn't go Oh that's right.

183
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: That time he lost the lead. Yeah, well, I have

184
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: to say I think it's Tyren Smith because you look

185
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: at it. Before Tyron Smith really went out, this team

186
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: was on a six game streak of twenty eight points. Yeah,

187
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: Mickey was talking about town before Ezekiel Elliott went out.

188
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: I know, Missy Bud free Zeke, free Zeke. Looking back

189
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: on it, they do the right thing. He do the

190
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: right thing. Yes, I still do. I still say it's

191
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: the right thing, even know what you're going through right now. Yep,

192
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: he's not going to change on that. He well, you know,

193
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: NFL didn't do the right thing. You know, that's fair.

194
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: That's fair. That's fair, I think because they changed their mind.

195
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: Oh sure they did. And and and if you listen

196
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: to Jerry, Yeah, he thinks somebody influenced Goodell, like Goodell

197
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: didn't lie to him. Yeah, Goodell told him what he

198
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: was thinking. Somebody influenced him or somebody that's qualifying their

199
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: job in that NFL office. Yeah, what were you gonna say,

200
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: Rob Well? I mean, Brian and I've gone back and

201
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: on this. I think Zeke had to do what he

202
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: felt was best for him as a as a man,

203
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: not just as a football player, and that's fight for

204
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: his name. And yeah, in the court of the league's opinion,

205
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: nothing change, right, but you still have the court of

206
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: public opinion. And I think that's important him. He doesn't

207
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: want to anybody to think of him attached to that

208
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: domestic VI would have felt better if he said he

209
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: came out and said, I'm fighting for the fairness. Do

210
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: you think do you think the NFL was fighting by

211
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: by this right now? I don't feel good. Do you

212
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: think the NFL was fighting for more than Ezekiel Elliott?

213
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: That they were fighting for three thousand players? Absolutely the precedent, absolutely,

214
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: because they said if if, if this goes through, oh yeah, absolutely,

215
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: there's three thousand, two thousand, nine or ninety nine guys

216
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: out there there. And absolutely we we said that a

217
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 1: while back, that to stop being about just Zeke a

218
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: long time ago. Yeah, this is this has turned out

219
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: to be a Zeke versus the NFL is a case

220
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: study in the future, you know, depending on how it

221
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: turned out. I'd love to have him right now. Well, yeah,

222
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just saying that. That's but I've said that,

223
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: and I said that in August eleventh. That's just me. Well, yeah,

224
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: it's it's a great but no, no, no, I know

225
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: it's not a second guest because you have said it

226
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: the whole time. I have. But you didn't know how

227
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: things were going to turn out. I had a feeling though, Mickey,

228
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna win because of Article forty S and

229
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: I understand that, but you still had to try. But

230
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: if you take because because you never know what judge

231
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: you might get if you tell me he was trying

232
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: to clear his name. No, it's not so much about no, no, no, no, no,

233
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you. I'm just saying though he told

234
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: you that. Yeah, that that part of it, like Rob

235
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: just said, we're not clear that the thing that the

236
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: thing that bothers me if he's fighting for the fairness

237
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: is the fundamental fairness bit, I get that. That That

238
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: to me, I can live with that. That part I

239
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: can live with because I knew he never was going

240
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: to clear his name. Never. Yeah. Now we all know

241
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: for two and a half million dollars and guarantees on

242
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: two more contracts coming up that he just lost. Cowboys

243
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: extend him, they rely on him. Yeah, extend him win

244
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: when a time has come two years from now. No,

245
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: he's got two years. You don't have to you don't

246
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: have to say. I'm just saying, actually, they got three.

247
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm just playing. I'm just playing. I'm just playing. Well,

248
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: we'll see when three years are up. I knew that.

249
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: It's kind of like, Goodell, do you extend him in

250
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: eighteen months? Now? Why why I'm taking over? Why we rule? There?

251
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: There's a rule on this we got. You said you'd

252
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: support me, and now you're backtracking. Hey, I always support you.

253
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: And Mickey and Rob took Mickey to Lunchester. The only

254
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: only problem is we don't have contracts more than a year.

255
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: Mickey had a good little lunch yesterday. Good that is sweet.

256
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: My arm wrestled him for the check and he beat

257
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: me side to pay. Oh, now we know why the

258
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: team was so excited to see Zeke back in that

259
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: locker that Friday before the Chiefs game. I think you're right. Oh,

260
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: everyone knew this is he the is he the sole

261
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: reason why this team is the way it is. He's

262
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: not the sole reason. I have a hard time believing

263
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: that they would be scoreless in two games. In the

264
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: second half of a football game, forty seven to nothing.

265
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: You said it yesterday, guys. The identity of this football

266
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: team was Ezee Elliott and now they're trying to find

267
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: an identity and Alfred's run well, you know, it's not

268
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: like they haven't run well. But it's I think Bryan's

269
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: did you say it? It's it's the way teams play.

270
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: Mickey said it to the way teams play you. They

271
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: played Dak, they play the receivers. It's as the mail

272
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: back today, Yeah, was it? Yeah? Yeah? So is that

273
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: the poll? No? No, okay, why don't you check in

274

Speaker 1: get to say what you want. Oh, I got a

338
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: good one. You know when you win you can grab

339
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: your body parts all right? Right, Okay, what happened when

340
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: you wink? Okay? What are you more adjustments or next

341
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: man up? Oh? I feel like I'm more tired of

342
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: the next man up there? Because because not really next

343
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: man up? When you got Tyrnn Smith top ten drafted tackle,

344
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: all Pro, four time Pro bowler, and then you got

345
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: Chaz Green, Yeah, they're rounder like it's a great philosophy totally,

346
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: but and sometimes it works. Last year, Anthony Brown phenomenal

347
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 1: job six rounder steps in does a great job as

348
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: a rookie. Dak Prescott, Dak Prescott. I wouldn't even say

349
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: next man up, but he was the next He was

350
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 1: the next next man up. It's a good philosophy, but

351
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: there's also reality attached to it. Yeah, and they miss

352
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: these guys, They've missed them badly. It's a noble it's

353
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: a noble gesture. Yeah, Mike Nugent scores all the points.

354
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: But yes, it will be a welcome sight to see

355
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: him kicking field goals for the next man up. You

356
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: want Emma Smith running the ball for you. You You want

357
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: Derek Lassie, Oh that's always a yeah, give me Derek

358
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: lass Yeah, nuts rookie, Yeah, next man up, Sherman Williams.

359
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 1: But the team. Yeah. Some people will argue though, that

360
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: some teams have lost quality players too. Yeah, but they

361
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: haven't lost the leading rushier in the National Football League. No,

362
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, though, And they haven't lost best offensive

363
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: tackle in the National Football League. Yeah. Well, okay Philadelphia, Yeah, okay,

364
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: Peters and they're linebacker. Who else has he been to

365
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. Peters, No Hicks, he's having a Pro

366
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: Bowl like year. Though, No, you're right, you're right. I

367
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: mean I'm not. I'm just saying though there's and and

368
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: I'm not. No, I'm not. Everything everybody's saying is true.

369
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: When you lose Pro Bowl players, you know, that's something

370
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: you have to think about. Here's what people are asking

371
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: I will say so quick, and I say this yesterday

372
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: because they're just watching the tape. There were sen's made,

373
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: there were things that they did. They tried to put

374
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: their players in positions to make plays. Now, whether the

375
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: players executed well enough, that's a whole nother story. You know,

376
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: I told you about yesterday. Trying to get Beasley in

377
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: the flat. That's something that they design. That's something they

378
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: repped during practice during the week. That's something that Lenahan

379
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: wanted to get to on his play sheet. He got

380
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: to it. He found the situation. He called it, what

381
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: happens you throw a three yards screen to Dez Bryant.

382
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with throwing the screen to Dez Bryant. But

383
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: when the coach sends in a play with special special considerations,

384
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: run the play. Yeah, run the play. You know they

385
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: it's not off, you stick Cole Beasley in the backfield.

386
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: I said it yesterday. Damian Wilson, Hey, they send you

387
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: on a blitz third down, you get home, get the

388
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: guy on the ground, then you get your team off

389
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: the field. It happens. See, that's adjustments, you know, that's

390
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: trying to that's trying to, that's trying to manipulate the game.

391
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: You know my Book of Standard Questions, there's also the

392
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: Book of Standard Perceptions. So when you don't play well

393
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: in the second half, you didn't make adjustments. Right, So

394
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: for everybody's benefit, here, how long's halftime? Twelve minutes? Probably

395
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: takes you two minutes to get to the locker room.

396
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: They're no adjustments made at halftime. That's ten minutes. Two

397
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: minutes to get back on the field. Yeah, that's eight minutes.

398
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: Take a bathroom break, it's another minute and a half.

399
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: See the thing. The thing about it is longer halftime

400
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: this week, though. The thing about it is so you

401
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: can make more I've been in the NFL locker room

402
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: for halftime. The halftime talks, right, Usually they put up

403
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: on the board what they need to go to. Okay,

404
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 1: now this is what we're gonna need to we need

405
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: to think about this draw play. We need them out

406
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: this screen, and we're gonna block this protection this way.

407
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: Everybody good, everyody's good. Boom, get some gatorade, you know,

408
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: and then coach comes up and gets everybody. It's not

409
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: a full blown go through x's nose thing. It's one

410
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: of the one of the quality control Ben Bloom or

411
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: somebody gets down in the locker room early. They put

412
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: up seven things on the board and lend a hand

413
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: and Marinella hammer through each one of the quickly and

414
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: say this is gonna be our this this this boom.

415
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, man, the adjustment today oranges. Yeah, the

416
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: adjustments are made during the games. If you sit there

417
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: on the sideline. When you sit there on the sideline

418
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: and Dak Prescott looks at that tablet with Kellen Moore

419
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: and then also with Scott Linehan, that's your adjustment right there.

420
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: That's when they used to have those polar Aid pictures.

421
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: You saw. Bill Belichick would flip through the pictures and

422
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: circle one or two and say, hey, guys, we gotta

423
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: do something different on this life. And now a technology

424
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: like you said, the tablet, they can make better in

425
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: game adjustments on the sideline than ever before. So it's

426
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: not this days of you going the chalkboard at halftime,

427
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: and this is how we're gonna go. If somebody tells

428
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: me that the execution needs to be better, I'll agree.

429
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm right there with I totally agree with that. You

430
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: need to not get blocked on a trap play. You

431
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,239
Speaker 1: need not to fall on the ground, and you need

432
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: not to take a bad angle, and you need not

433
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: to allot of things happen to give up a seventy

434
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: one yard run. Yeah you could if you could go

435
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: through about four things that happened on that play that

436
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: was the player's fault. Yeah. And I you know what

437
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: I think we're I think as a society when we

438
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: watch sports, it's really easy. I call it low hanging fruit.

439
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: And to take take a shot at the coaches. The

440
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: coaches have a hand in this, Absolutely they do. There's

441
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 1: a general manager, he admitted it today. He has a

442
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: hand in it because of the players. You know that

443
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: that's that's that's reality. But also it's on the players too.

444
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: You know, everybody's real real doesn't want to criticize a

445
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant, or criticize a Sean Lee or criticize a

446
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, but it's on them too. But I understand

447
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,719
Speaker 1: where the question is coming from because you look at

448
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: the second half these last two games, forty seven to nothing. Okay,

449
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, what obvious adjustment was to run

450
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: the football? You weren't good enough to stop them from

451
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: running the football. That's fair, that's fair. What what adjustment

452
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: would you have made after you held a team to

453
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifteen total yards of the first half

454
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: and only thirty five yards rushing. What adjustment should they've

455
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: made defensively? Nothing? In that's the that's the Hey, guys,

456
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: we're doing a great job of playing deeply. What are

457
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: you gonna adjust? Keep after him? We gotta keep after

458
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: him here on this. So, simply put, they got out

459
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: played in the second. I think I think there's I

460
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 1: think to me, I've been with Doug Peterson. You know,

461
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson is not this brilliant coach. You know his adjustment.

462
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 1: I mean, their adjustment was, guys, we need to get

463
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: back to running the football. That that was their adjustment.

464
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: And once they went back to that commitment, they played.

465
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: They played their strength against Dallas's weakness. That's where the

466
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: that's where this all game turned. Because they didn't know

467
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: the defensive tackle was gonna run right past the ball carrier.

468
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: They didn't know Jalen Smith was gonna was gonna take

469
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: a wrong gap. They didn't know Byron Smith was Byron

470
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: Jones was gonna come down low, and he protected the

471
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: outside and I'm assuming that's what he was supposed to

472
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: do this responsibly. When this when the slant went inside,

473
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: he's got the edge, edge of the line of edge, right,

474
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: it's got the edge. But then the Xavier Woods, where's

475
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: Xavier exactly? See, that's that's where this thing is. If

476
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: you want to go after the Cowboys coaches and the

477
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 1: players for not executing, I'm all for you. I am

478
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: all for you. But to sit there we say the

479
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: word adjustments because we don't know what else. We're not

480
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: educated enough to give a real reason why. To Brian's point,

481
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: you take out Winz's two scrambles in the first half

482
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: and think, I think they were both scrambles. Philly had

483
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: eight runs in the first half, Wentz through an eighteen times,

484
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: so they weren't balanced. And yeah, with a gie, they've

485
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: got a nice one two punch in the running game.

486
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: And there's no Sean Lee, and we know how the

487
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: run defenses struggled without him. Their line coach. Their line

488
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: coach made an adjustment. He guys, hey, Doug, we need

489
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: to run the ball in the second half. And Dallas's

490
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: adjustments like guys were playing run defense. Well, the fits

491
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: are good. Oh boom, what happened seventy one yards out

492
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: the gate because of it? I'll tell you another thing.

493
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: If you want to make an adjustment just because they're

494
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: on the fourteen yard line, yeah, don't put your second

495
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: line in there. Yeah. I don't want to see Ash

496
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: and Neil and or Mayo in there. Yeah. They had

497
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: three backup defensive linemen on that line of scrimmage along

498
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: with Lawrence so and that and that and that by

499
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: your starters. And that's something coming out of half to

500
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: you're sitting there thinking about that. You know, you're thinking

501
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: about we usually when they play when they're backed up.

502
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: That's a trick they do. I know. That is when

503
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: you get some guys rest rod Marinelli's way of saying, Okay,

504
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna only put you in until you get to

505
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: the thirty five yard line. And once you get to

506
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,479
Speaker 1: the thirty five yard line. Leon cat cat cat, get

507
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: him in there, get you in that game. Everybody goes

508
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: running on the field. You know, this is this is

509
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: a this is on, this is on a lot of people.

510
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 1: Oh but but to sit and drop the ball, Yeah,

511
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: don't overthrow Cole Beasley, you know. I mean, there's there's

512
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: a lot of things that you can you can point

513
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: to here, but the simple thing for everybody to do

514
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:53,719
Speaker 1: is just say adjustments. It's it's not it's execution again.

515
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: I talk about this. He puts cold Beesy in the backfield,

516
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: and if he throws cold Beasley the football, they're gonna score.

517
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: That's an adjustment. Because he saw what Philadelphia was going

518
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: to play man coverage. He knew he could run two

519
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: guys inside, carry those guys inside, and give Beasley the flat.

520
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: That's an adjustment. Yeah, there are so many people who

521
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: have simple things to say about this team right now

522
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: because it's all you can do. I mean, same thing being,

523
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: we should have kept all those defensive guys in this spring.

524
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: You guys think you would still really be happy with

525
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: Brandon Carr right now? No, see the narrative change, Yeah,

526
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: Barry Church, guys, guys, they got ripped last year and

527
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: really throughout their time here. Then y'all of a sudden

528
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: you miss them, you miss Tony Romo, and Romo got

529
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: destroyed by fans for years. So Tony Romo in this regard,

530
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: should be given credit for playing with a lot less.

531
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: Tony Romo should be given a lot of credit for

532
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: what he was able to accomplish as an NFL quarterback

533
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: playing with a lot less. Just go look at the

534
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: offensive line they played with in twenty eleven. I'm just

535
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: they got to eight mate. Yeah, this is where this

536
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,239
Speaker 1: is where I totally agree with people about. If you

537
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 1: want to say Dak Prescott can't carry a team and

538
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: Tony Romo can, I agree with you. I agree with you.

539
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: I think Dak Prescott can learn how to carry a team. Yeah,

540
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: I mean, but but but but they but remember what

541
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: this front office did. They drafted Ezekiel Elliott to play

542
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: with Tony Romo. They were trying to help him. Now,

543
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: they tried to help him with the line, and they

544
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: tried to help him with the running back, and they

545
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: tried to help him with Dez Bryant. They tried, they

546
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: tried to help him. It was too late, though, it

547
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: was too late In his career. But those eight and

548
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: eight years when Tony was oh there are five, there

549
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: are five and eleven team he wins three games on

550
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: his own, he was carrying him. He was also in

551
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: his seventh year starting in the NFL, and it was

552
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: basically his offense built with Garrett from the ground up

553
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: to where he had he had mastered the offense. Dak's

554
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: still a year and a half into this thing, So

555
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: to me, it's it's different to say, oh, Dak can't

556
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: carry it. Can say one more thing to people that

557
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: people that talk about Mary and Ellie and you know,

558
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: all these coaching changes and stuff. You know Mary, everybody says,

559
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: well he does more with nobody. Well Rod kind of

560
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: is that guy. Rod is a guy that you know,

561
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: they asked Rod's opinion on who he wants and who

562
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't want. Rod will embrace the orphanse. He'll embrace that.

563
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: But don't get don't say just because the offense has

564
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: all these guys that Scott Linahan's doing a bad job,

565
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: because the narrative is that, well, god, Scott Linahan should

566
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: be doing a bunch better job. He's got all the players. Well,

567
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: Rod Marinelli has nobody. Well Rod Marinelli has to say

568
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: who they get. Let's not act like he was on

569
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: board with the draft picks that they've had. He was

570
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: on board with getting rid of all these defenders and

571
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: bringing guys in. So when you when you want to

572
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: give coaches a pass because of personnel, be a little

573
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: careful what you're doing there. Yeah, that's a great point.

574
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: But I do not think that Rod Marinelli would be

575
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: okay with even having stars on his line who didn't

576
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: want to do anything. You know, that's why he That

577
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: just fosters the growth of these guys. He's he's played

578
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: with star players. Yeah, he's if you go to his

579
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: Tampa defenses that he had with Money, Warren Sapp, Booger McFarlane,

580
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: Derek Brooks, Ronde Barber, John Linn. I could go on

581
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: Simeon Rise, and I could go on and on and

582
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: on about how he's played with star players before. If

583
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: it's me, if I'm a coach, give me. If you're

584
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: gonna let me carry a big stick in the draft room,

585
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm beating you over the head with it every single

586
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: time to get as many players as I can. Oh,

587
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: hey about this guy here, Rod Marinelli could have stepped

588
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: up and said, you know what, we need to trade

589
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: up for Derek Barnett. We need to trade up for

590
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: Attack McKinley. We instead he said, oh, I'm okay with Taco. Yeah,

591
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: let's get him. We'll developed and we'll okay. Okay. So

592
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: now now when things are he doesn't coach anybody, No, no, no,

593
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: he does coach somebody. He's coaching players, he wanted. So

594
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: let's you know, if you're gonna kick Scott Lenahan and

595
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: then know what, be sure you're kicking the other guy

596
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: in there too. But hey, these coaches are making adjustments now.

597
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: The players need to execute better. That is the biggest issue. Yeah,

598
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: before we get to our final break, we're gonna hit

599
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,719
Speaker 1: the phone line and we have Nebby on the line. Nebbie,

600
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: what is your question? Hi? Everyone, Happy Thanksgiving? Thank you?

601
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: Um um uh listen uh uh. I shame fully admit

602
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: and please forgive me because I'm a devoted and passionate

603
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: fan of this team, as you all know. But I

604
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: gotta admit that I was one of those uh people

605
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: who who voted yesterday Yester and yesterday's Paul that we

606
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: probably won't uh make make the playoffs. But I now

607
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: believe that because the Seattle Seahawks last night, we we

608
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: have to we uh, we we have a glimmer of hope.

609
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: But as Mickey uh uh uh, I know you said

610
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and fourteen when we were eight

611
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: and for uh, what we have to do is just

612
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: that take things one game at a time and just

613
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: go win and quit worrying about everybody else, because as

614
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: you know, if we don't take care of our own business, uh,

615
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: it's I'm not gonna matter what other teams do. So uh,

616
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: the point I'm trying to make gives. We just have

617
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: to find some way to to Uh. I'll forget about

618
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: all the injuries we have and and find ways to

619
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: win with the players we have and just let the

620
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: chips fall where where they may take care of. Thanks

621
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: for being patient with me, and have a great week,

622
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: and once again, happy Thanksgiving to you all. There's a

623
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: guy that listens, that's right. Listening is a skill. Nebbie listens.

624
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: The Cowboys do have to take care of business because

625
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people will argue that that Monday night

626
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: football game last night was key to that. Yeah, I

627
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: thought I should have gone the other way. Yeah, what

628
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: do you mean? You need Atlanta to lose, Atlanta to lose,

629
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: Jobbins still have to play the same twice. Well, yeah,

630
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: but that doesn't matter. You lost to the Falcons. Yeah,

631
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: you can't get in a tiebreaker with him. You still

632
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: got the game against Seattle. You got you could do

633
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: something about Seattle. Nebbi's right, though, You just got to

634
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: find a way to win games. Regards to who's on

635
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: that football field. I mean, that's what teams do at

636
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: this time of year. You're either in you're out. I mean,

637
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: would you rather two teams six and four or one

638
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: five and five and the other one six and fourth

639
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: that you get to play? Can't control it control. But

640
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying it didn't turn out that well for him,

641
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: And I've heard a lot of people say that, oh

642
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: that was good. No, it was not good. No, clear

643
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: Walsh two yards short. There's a team that didn't next

644
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. Should have ran he

645
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: changed his mind. You should have ran one more play.

646
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: He had seven seconds. Adjustments. Adjustments, Yes, adjustments. Hey, we're

Speaker 1: over there for a happy hour, I saw one hundred

706
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: different beers on the wall. Wow, wow, springtime sit outside

707
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: and put the sunglasses. Absolutely. Yeah. So we're back. So

708
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: the Twitter pole, Twitter Pole focusing on the Chargers today.

709
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: The Chargers what has to improve most on Thanksgiving versus LA.

710
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: We're talking adjustments? Aw about just better execution, four options,

711
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: pass protection, red zone scoring. They were oh for two

712
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 1: by the way, last Sunday, one for two against Atlanta.

713
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: Run defense or turnovers? Stop the turnovers? Obviously Dak was

714
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 1: four of them against the Eagles, thoughts got all I voted.

715
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you didn't vote since I was down

716
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: to two of them. I'm gonna think Man and the

717
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 1: Chargers are the best red zone defensive team in the league.

718
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: You didn't know that. That's that's because people might not

719
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: have to go all the way to the red zone

720
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: to score on him. I don't know, but they the

721
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 1: yardage they give up in the red zone is like,

722
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: let'sten two yards the play. Yeah, and about turnovers, I

723
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 1: think a huge difference in this past game. Absolutely, like

724
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: gotta miss field goal, it's like getting a turnover. Back's right.

725
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna go with it. Rob, I would

726
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 1: vote for I would vote for the run defense. Okay,

727
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: I think that gets him in trouble. I think that's

728
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: the one thing that gets this team in troubled. I

729
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: voted for the run defense because they gave up eight

730
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: hundred let me say it again, eight one hundred and

731
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: eighty yards rushing the second half, Yeah, the second half, Yeah,

732
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifteen for the game. What do you

733
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: think beat him? You gotta go back to twenty fifteen,

734
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: the last time they allowed two hundred rushing yards in

735
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: a game. And what happened that season? Lost a lot

736
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: of football games. That was the year that it was

737
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: like three games in a row, like Charlie Garner was

738
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: one of them, when they were like there was this

739
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: what year was at oh, twenty fifteen? I was thinking

740
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: that there was a time where there was a time

741
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: that was the Rob Ryan last one for him was

742
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen when they finished dead last in the National

743
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,720
Speaker 1: Football League. But Rob Ryan, Oh that was twenty thirteen.

744
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: So Rob Ryan was twenty thirteen. God, my years are

745
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: kind of mexing missing up here. Say the fans said

746
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: forty percent red zone scoring, take advantage of your opportunities

747
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: inside the twenty and I looked at it. I wonder

748
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 1: if people know that they're that good and read what's

749
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: the what's the what? How many times were they in

750
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: the red zone twice? Twice? And once when it was

751
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: thirty seven nine, but so once. So if they had

752
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: scored one more time, they would have had sixteen points.

753
00:39:54,760 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, let me let me take it out

754
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 1: ten yards, Okay, inside the thirty. They've had the ball

755
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 1: seven times inside the thirty these last two games, they've

756
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: gotten three field goals in a touchdown, and that Atlanta game,

757
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,439
Speaker 1: they were in it in the second half, they still

758
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 1: had a shot. So to some degree it is a factor.

759
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say pass protection, because we still haven't seen

760
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: this offense function without Zeke, where Dak is somewhat comfortable

761
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: in the pocket and he's got to be able to

762
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: move the ball down the field through the air in

763
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: order for them to have success without Zeke. That was

764
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: my choice. Number Two teams teams have only scored, was

765
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: my internal bow good teams have only scored forty percent

766
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: of the time. I only scored touchdowns forty percent of

767
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: the times on red zone trips against these guys. But

768
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were scoring like sixty. They were second when

769
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: they were were humming along there at one time before

770
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: they lost their running back and their Pro Bowl left tackle.

771
00:40:56,440 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: Yeah right, sound scoring, They're still actually third. Mickey it's

772
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: still third sixty two two. Problem is they're not getting

773
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 1: to the red zone. Fans for them saying that, I

774
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 1: think they want to just see Dez Bryant score every play.

775
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: So who won red zone? Red zone? They're just they're

776
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: tired of seeing this team not score points. Yeah. Yeah,

777
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: And I don't blame him. I don't blame him either,

778
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: I really don't. But that's, you know, well, a little

779
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 1: bit difficult from a critical standpoint. Two times once in

780
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: each of the last two games, they're in the ball

781
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: game and they've got first and ten at the twelve

782
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: and they either ended up with a field goal or

783
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: a missfield goal. Yeah that was significant. Yeah, well I

784
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: was going to say, you're right, Robin, when I would

785
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: have basically done this. Yeah, significant. They would probably be

786
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: a little bit happier about the red zone scoring if

787
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: Ezekiel has been in the past two games. Absolutely easy

788
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: to say, easy to say, get down the twelve yard line.

789
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: Were you handing the ball three times? It's a touchdown,

790
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: right pretty much probably the first time. Pretty much money.

791
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: That's amazing that one player affects your fortune and not

792
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: a quarterback, and you know why, because he runs for touchdowns. Yeah,

793
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: he was second in the league and scoring. He was

794
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: one touchdown behind. I can't remember now. It was maybe

795
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. I don't even maybe have been Todd Gurley. Yeah,

796
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: and he got off the slow start. Yeah, but that

797
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,720
Speaker 1: he was second in the league and scoring. David Johnson

798
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: did the same thing to the Cardinals, second in the

799
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: league and rushing point by seventeen yards. David Johnson did

800
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: the same thing for the Cardinals. I mean they were

801
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: they were just roaming along doing well. Everyone thought this

802
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: was going to be a great season for them. Obviously,

803
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald, you know, still there. Bye to Rob, Bye Rob.

804
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 1: He has to go talk to these guys locker rooms open.

805
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: Why don't you ask him, Hey, Alfred, why is Zeke

806
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: so much better than you? I'll try, Maybe I'll get

807
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: Dave to ask that question. Okay, Dave will ask that. Yeah.

808
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: But you know, it happens. I mean, these teams create

809
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: their identities, usually around one player. That's all that Arizona's

810
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: identity was around David Johnson. Seemed like round Larry Fitzgerald

811
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: and Carson Palmer. You know what though, with but if

812
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 1: you look at what he means to Arizona, he's one

813
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,399
Speaker 1: of those thirty eight percent of your offense guys. Yeah. Yeah,

814
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: it's because he catches the ball. He catches up on

815
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,879
Speaker 1: the red zone. He may I remember going into that game,

816
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: you know, early in the season, thinking, oh no, here

817
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: comes another red zone screen, here comes another all those

818
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: things that you think that Cowboys don't play. Well, he

819
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,879
Speaker 1: can kind of do. He did. But yeah, so yeah,

820
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 1: I feel like that. Yeah. I think he was like

821
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent of their offense when he went down,

822
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: or last year at least when he was participating. Yeah,

823
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: so the Cowboys have to figure out. I mean, you

824
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: brought it up, Mickey. It's not like Alfred Morris has

825
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: been terrible, but he's just not He's not getting there. No,

826
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: it's that people don't fear him. That's true too. That's

827
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 1: the that's the biggest effect here. Teams feared Zeke. They

828
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 1: have to make compensations for him, regardless of he was

829
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: running well or not. They're gonna play catch with this

830
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: running game right now without Zeke there until somebody runs

831
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,760
Speaker 1: the ball from forty yards out into the end zone.

832
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: So no Zeke, who else do they fear on this offense?

833
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: That's that's a good question. Do you fear the receivers

834
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: on this offense? And I'm not just gonna single one

835
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: of them out, but do you feel you fear the

836
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 1: group of of what's happened with Beasley, what's happened a

837
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: little bit with Dez, what's happened with Williams. I think

838
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: a lot of what's happened. I mean, we didn't ask

839
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: these questions when they were going six straight games, scoring

840
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: twenty eight No. No, I just was asking how we're

841
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,240
Speaker 1: asking that, because because yeah, they've got one less thing

842
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 1: to worry about. That was a big worry, right. And

843
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: now you can double Beasley with a linebacker and the

844
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: guy and the guy covered him in the slot. They

845
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: get they've they've got another safety back there. They don't

846
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: have to worry about coming up in the line of scrimmage.

847
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: You can edge over on Dez, make sure he doesn't

848
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,959
Speaker 1: beat you. You take your chances with Terrence, Williams and Bryce,

849
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: but sure, because at some point they're gonna drop one

850
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,240
Speaker 1: on you or the balls. Yeah, ball's gonna get knocked

851
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: in the air. Although we can go back to the

852
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: theory on Alexander, right, and I almost didn't. I didn't

853
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,720
Speaker 1: recognize him when they introduced him at halftime, like eighty

854
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: one is that Martineau? Elvin Martin was eighty three? Yeah,

855
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: I forgot he His career lasted through that ninety two season, right,

856
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: and the thing about him was, I mean he had

857
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: all the speed in the world. He was a world

858
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: class sprinter at Auburn and and and it was like,

859
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: you know, they would send him deep and people were like,

860
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: why do you you know, why do you why do

861
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: you worry about you? Why do you use him? Why

862
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: do you do like that? And Jimmy's answer was, well,

863
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: you never know when he's gonna catch one, right, so

864
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: you got to cover him, right, you know. But it

865
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: was funny about seeing that team real quick tamp sorry, yeah,

866
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: I cold. Oh my my man. That was one that

867
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: was that favorite guy because he was the guy that

868
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 1: was spending part of the hershel Walker trade. And so

869
00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: it was funny to see him because you see all

870
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: these recognized reckon yeah he said, and he walks on

871
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: and win. Who is that old? He didn't look like

872
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 1: himself in the twenty five years later. But but Ike

873
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: was Ike was the best. He was funny um and

874
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,399
Speaker 1: you know, he was the starter until they drafted Kevin

875
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: Smith and then about eight games into the season they

876
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: made the switch. So he was a bridge by the way. Yeah,

877
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: and then it wasn't like they was he the only

878
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:29,359
Speaker 1: was he the only holdover from the trade Jesse? Well

879
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: the trade. See what happened after they did the trade,

880
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: those guys contracts ran out and they had to they

881
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: had a basketball deal. They had a choice to resign him,

882
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: resigned him. They resigned Jesse Solomon David. It was a linebacker, David.

883
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: I can't think of it anyway. There was like three

884
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: guys they ended up keeping. Uh, they got rid of

885
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: Darien Nelson didn't want to come right, so they said, okay,

886
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: just say stay, say you can send here South California.

887
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: And then there was a defensive end. Um. He was

888
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:13,280
Speaker 1: a young guy. He Edwarder nicknamed him, looks like tires

889
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: end plays like Jane Right. Well, he heard about it

890
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: and one day it might have been like a Tuesday,

891
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 1: Ed and I were in the old locker room at

892
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: the Ranch and we were walking through and here he comes,

893
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,399
Speaker 1: and the guys confronted Ed and I said, Ed, can't

894
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 1: help you out this one. Yeah, but yeah, but but

895
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: Ike stayed Ike was the starter. He started through the

896
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: ninety He was the one that through the block in

897
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and Kelvin Martin returned the punt to since the

898
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: win over the Eagles to clinch the playoff berth their

899
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:51,240
Speaker 1: first one since eighty five. Right then, unfortunately, Kevin Smith

900
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: got hurt, like on the first play of the of

901
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:57,479
Speaker 1: the NFC title game in ninety two, and I cat

902
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: to come in and Jerry Ice burns him for a

903
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,720
Speaker 1: touchdown second play of the game, and they got called

904
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: for holding, and I'll tell you what, pup came right

905
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 1: back in the game quickly. Well. To get back to

906
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: the Chargers this week, Yes, Joey Bosa is coming into town. Yeah,

907
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: it be the first time you get to see him

908
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: actually play. Right. Well, I've seen him on tape and yeah,

909
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: on tape, but you haven't really seen him. No, I

910
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 1: haven't seen the Cowboys didn't play. No, I haven't. I

911
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: haven't seen him in person. And uh, you know, half

912
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: had him in my top ten as far as but

913
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: I should have had him a lot higher. And I

914
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 1: thought that he was going to be very much like

915
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: a Greg Ellis player, maybe a guy that was going

916
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 1: to get eight and a half nine sacks a year

917
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,919
Speaker 1: for you be a real steady player, play the left

918
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: in he's playing both sides. He's a lot better player

919
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 1: than I evaluated. He really really is. And and that's

920
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: a that's a miss on me. I admit that that's

921
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: that was probably should have had him in my top

922
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,280
Speaker 1: five as far as for that draft, but I didn't.

923
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, he's done a nice shot for

924
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 1: for the Chargers. You know, he usually plays his hand down,

925
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,439
Speaker 1: he plays both sides. Ingram players on those say they've

926
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 1: got a really good one two punch when it comes

927
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 1: to rushing the passer. That's something that they've they've done

928
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: a really nice job with. So he's getting a lot

929
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: more sacks, a lot more pressure than I thought he

930
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:16,720
Speaker 1: would with the way that he his style. I still

931
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,720
Speaker 1: like the way a guy like a Ryan Carrigan similar

932
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: type player, ability to rush, keep after you. Bosa's kind

933
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: of a guy that excuse me, take he gets stuck

934
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 1: a little bit along the line, but when he could

935
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: get the edge, when he can capture the corner, he

936
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 1: can close. And he's done that pretty well for the Chargers.

937
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: The last couple of years. Those two guys have combined

938
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: from nineteen sacks. Yeah, that's something you have to be

939
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons why you're glad that Tyrant

940
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: Smith's probably standing out there for you again, you know, hopefully.

941
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: Now now it comes down to, Okay, can Lyle Collins

942
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 1: do his job against Bosa or against Ingram that's you know,

943
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: now you think about your left side. Now you have

944
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: to think about your right. Yeah, and you're thinking about Okay,

945
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: you got the defensive rookie of the year coming in here. Yeah,

946
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's incredible. Yeah, it's incredible. I mean that

947
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: did I didn't want drey Bos to be here well

948
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:10,839
Speaker 1: and in the Cowboys, yeah no, and too I didn't

949
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: think here obviously. Yeah. But see, and you know it's funny.

950
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: You talked to people in the front office. It was

951
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 1: coming down to Ramseyer. It was gonna come down to

952
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 1: Ramseyer Zeke. And we've seen what happened with Zeke. They

953
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 1: did the right thing with Zeke, you know, I mean,

954
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 1: we've we we've documented here for the last fifty minutes

955
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: about the problems that you have playing without him. It's

956
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: not easy to do. You know, Micky wants to see

957
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,439
Speaker 1: a guy run forty yards for the touchdown. He wants

958
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,320
Speaker 1: to see a threat, he wants to see the quarterback

959
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,839
Speaker 1: have some balance, he wants the quarterback to be able

960
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 1: to use his play action game, you know. I mean,

961
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 1: those are all things that they felt like that they

962
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: needed to do to for their offense. And they're absolutely right.

963
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:48,839
Speaker 1: It's just unfortunate you don't have him right now, and

964
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully you can. You know, you find a

965
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 1: way to win some of these games. You know, find

966
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:55,360
Speaker 1: a way to win three or four of these games,

967
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: and then when you get him back, then okay, make

968
00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: a push. It might not be enough, but you got

969
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,879
Speaker 1: a game push though, Brian, But you've got to you've

970
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: got to find a way to win games. You've got

971
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: to find a way to beat these guys, the Redskins,

972
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: the Giants, and the Raiders. I mean, you've got to

973
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 1: find a way to at least position yourself to when

974
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 1: it comes down to when he's back, that your team

975
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: can go and win a game you might have to

976
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: have against Seattle, and then who knows what Philadelphia. Philadelphia

977
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 1: might be in the very same shape you're in last

978
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 1: year where you said, you know what, we're not going

979
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 1: to risk the injuries and you know, and then maybe

980
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:29,720
Speaker 1: you get a break where you're playing all their backups.

981
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 1: You're playing Nick Foles instead of Carson Wentz, you know,

982
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:37,320
Speaker 1: and just understand you're playing four and six, four and six,

983
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 1: two and eight and four and six. Yeah, you can't.

984
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: You can't spit these games away. You've you know, you've

985
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 1: lost some good teams. You've lost the Packers with with

986
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. We know as an outstanding team. The Rams

987
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: are for real the way they played. Yeah they had

988
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: a bad game in Minnesota the other day, but they're

989
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: for real team, so you understand. But you know, Atlanta,

990
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: hey give them credit. They went two straight. You know.

991
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: But see, this is where I thought dal was. The

992
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 1: way Atlantis played, This is where I thought Dallas was.

993
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,720
Speaker 1: You know, win you have to win a couple of games,

994
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 1: you know, kind of crossroads games, find a way to win.

995
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: Now you're five or five, you're you're clearly passed the crossroads.

996
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 1: But you better make a decision of how you want

997
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: this thing in. That's I think why Jason Garrett said

998
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: what he did. You know, you could either be five

999
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 1: to eleven or you could be eleven and five. Find

1000
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: out where you want to be and go go for that.

1001
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: You want to win what you should and win one

1002
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: you shouldn't, and they haven't done that. If they find

1003
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: a way to win four straight games, if they find

1004
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: a way to win four straight games and get this

1005
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: thing to nine and five, I'll take my chances in

1006
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:40,240
Speaker 1: those last two games. The only shame of a loss

1007
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: was now what Denver turned out to be? Yeah, Denver's

1008
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 1: trash because there you put Aaron Rodgers back on the Packers.

1009
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 1: They're pretty good, right right, These last two teams, they're

1010
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 1: both six and four, right right, the Rams, right, But

1011
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 1: ye had a chance, yeah, the Rams pretty much. You

1012
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 1: had those teams a chance to beat him. Yeah, didn't.

1013
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 1: And that's a difference right now, that's a big difference

1014
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: now five and five and seven and whatever, seven three,

1015
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 1: seven and three. Yeah, absolutely scored thirty points, thirty one points,

1016
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 1: and you got beat almost feel like, you know the

1017
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,399
Speaker 1: famous Parcels saying is that you know what a team

1018
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 1: is by Thanksgiving? Yeah, I don't know. Well, I don't

1019
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: know if you know what this team is. Unfortunately you

1020
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: know what they are for another four weeks exactly. That's

1021
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: that's the only thing you can say. You have to

1022
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: find a way to win these next four games, to

1023
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:29,839
Speaker 1: give yourself a chance. I mean, you can't sit there

1024
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:31,800
Speaker 1: and say, Okay, ten games is gonna get you. It

1025
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: might very well not. You've got to find a way

1026
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 1: to at least give yourself a chance to beat Seattle

1027
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: and then a chance to beat Philadelphia at the end,

1028
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: and then again it might not be enough, but that's

1029
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: the only shot you got. Absolutely well, thank you guys
