00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: things off today. Glad you're with us, Glad you're with us,

29
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: and Rob. Let's let's dive into practice yesterday. What did

30
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: we see from the Cowboys perspective? And maybe some of

31
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: these injuries that were lingering earlier in the week, and

32
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: maybe some updates that we saw later on. Yeah, I

33
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: mean injury report, like we always say this year, if

34
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: you take away injured reserve, it looks pretty clean for

35
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in week eight. Chris Jones is on it.

36
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: He was set to have that core muscle surgery on Thursday,

37
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: so he's gonna be out for a while. They have

38
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: a new punter. How did we pronounce his name? Kyle

39
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: nice Wander. Nice Wander is how you say his name

40
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: Hunter Nice Wander. Hunter the Punter is in against the

41
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: Steelers this week, and the big ones obviously are Zeke

42
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: and Alden Smith, both limited the last two days in practice.

43
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: But I you know, Mike McCarthy kind of said yesterday

44
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like anything serious, just trying to get those

45
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: guys both to the game. Wait a minute, we have

46
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: a punder name, last name Nice Wonder. Apparently, yes, he

47
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: wears number one. He wears number one. Heck, just like

48
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: Matt number Ier back in the day, number one Nice Wonder.

49
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: This is twenty twenty and it's rat Hunter the Punter.

50
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,399
Speaker 1: He said in an interview during his time at Northwestern

51
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: that his teammates would call him HTP for Hunter the Punter,

52
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: and it kind of disappointed Nick Heaman upstairs because he

53
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: thought he kind of made it up. I think and

54
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: Nick did not make it up. Apparently it's been something

55
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: back to his time at his time at Northwestern. But Rob,

56
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: he's kind of a big guy. This isn't Chris Jones

57
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: back there punting the ball. He's a little bit of

58
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: a bigger character. And somebody out of the XFL. The

59
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: man is a He's a man of size, he's a

60
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: man of size at the hunter, at the hunter at

61
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: the punter position. So U no, wait a minute. You

62
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: know we saying to see how I go. Wait a minute, now,

63
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: hold on, guy. So we're saying a man of size

64
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: like heckma man of size or like Isaiah man a size.

65
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: Where are we going with this? Hey, we're the same size?

66
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: Hey what are you talking about? No? No, no, no, God,

67
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: God definitely made you differently than for me. So let's

68
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: be clear about that. Thank you. That so nice. But nah,

69
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: so come on, put that in context. So what we're

70
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: talking about. How about the time whenever I put on Isaiah,

71
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: I don't have his measurables memorized. The time I put

72
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: on Isaiah's jersey, they said I would look like a

73
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: retired punter. Well it might. You could take the retired

74
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: out of that. You could take the retired name out

75
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: of that, and it's kind of looks like that. I

76
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: don't think that's necessarily the case. He's definitely more trim

77
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: than I am. But he's a big guy. I mean,

78
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: he's and I'm interested to see if rob can find

79
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: his measurables because he's a lot bigger than I anticipated

80
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: and he had a one punt yesterday during the media

81
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: session that was pretty impressive. There were some that were

82
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: kind of duds. But I guess that's how we're gonna

83
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: start our saying with the chesch Fridays, talking about hunters,

84
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: nice ones. Where we're at, talking where we're out in

85
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: the season, talking about the backup punter or how about that?

86
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: That's that's something to talking about punters. Isaiah, how are

87
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: you doing this Friday morning? I'm Fan Tabuloso. You know.

88
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: I woke up this morning. So it was a great start.

89
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: That's good. That's always good. This morning, I can't say it.

90
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: I went, I went, and I coordinated some nice workouts

91
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: for individuals this morning at the gym. Okay, that's good. Nice?

92
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: Sure didn't nice? Okay, Okay, real quick, I gotta get

93
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: the measurables in there, thank you. He is a man

94
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: of size, dude, I didn't realize this. He's six four

95
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: two forty three. Oh my goshee. Okay, so he's bigger.

96
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: You can play quarterback like buy a lot. Wow, that's impressive.

97
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: Bigger than me six four two forty three for our

98
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: backup hunter, mister nice wander. So with that being said,

99
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: Chris Jones having that abdominal injury, seems to be out

100
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: this week, and it'll be interesting to see how the

101
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys utilize him. I guess is kind of the sad

102
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: way to put it, because the Cowboys having moved the

103
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: ball offensively over the last couple of weeks. And we

104
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: kind of talked about it a while back following the

105
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott injury and the drop off from Dak Prescott

106
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: to Andy Dalton. But Isaiah, whenever we look at the

107
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: drop off from Andy Dalton too, I guess whoever's at

108
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: quarterback following Andy Dalton, whether it's been the Nuche, Garrett Gilbert,

109
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: or Cooper Rush. Did you really anticipate the drop off

110
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: being that much, because I mean we said it last

111
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: week it costs you a game against Philly. Yes, I

112
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: anticipated that. Now when we everybody, everybody in Twitter world,

113
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: in pariscript world, they all know I've stood up by

114
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: any Dalton. I did not expect there'd be a substantial

115
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: drop off between Deck and Andy, which was but the Andy,

116
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: which there was. Um, And I was wrong, I admit it.

117
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: But Andy Dalton to whomever, Um, you know, it's just

118
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: it's substantial. I expected it to be that bad. You're

119
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: you're taking. You know, we took a ricky quarterback, a

120
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: rooky quarterback who had no preseason, who's had probably I

121
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: say maybe, if I had to guess, probably less than

122
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: twenty reps all and all from the time he's touched

123
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: touched foot at the Star UM to now in terms

124
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: of reps versus the first team defense UM. And that

125
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: was his first experience versus a coach that we knew

126
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: was going to be a jerk in terms of he

127
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: didn't even really bring a lot of sure, right, but

128
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: but we knew he was just gonna play mind games

129
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: with him. And you know, he didn't have a chance.

130
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: He had zero chance. But we all knew that, right.

131
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I know some people were trying to give

132
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: him all kinds of nicknames to make themselves feel better,

133
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: as if he's gonna coming a ball out. Everybody on here.

134
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: We all knew it was gonna be terrible. Um. We

135
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: try to keep them a route up as much as

136
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: possible sometimes, but sometimes the facts are facts, and you know,

137
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: we take that motion out of it. Ain't that right? Heck,

138
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: he started with me already, leave me alone. Oh man,

139
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: it's uh you talk about a drop off between where

140
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: we were the Nucci Uh Gucci Didnucci hey for he

141
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: went a big Gucci Ucci to Benjamin And it's true, Man,

142
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: we are we are there. Uh And no matter how

143
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: you look at it with these quarterbacks, I don't think

144
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: that the expectation is for these guys to go out

145
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: and have a four hundred plus game, uh, multiple touchdowns.

146
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: So I think we're all in a wait and see.

147
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: We don't know who's gonna start, do we. I still

148
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: we're still waiting to see what the I think the

149
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: over under we were all with rush and pretty much

150
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: putting that based off of his experience with Kellen Moore.

151
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: But man, the drop off is steep, especially when we're

152
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: talking about from my number one gude to where we

153
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: are right now. And so you know, we need so

154
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: many things that happen in this game for us to

155
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: have any success. And like like we had talked about

156
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: previous this week, the defense have to have a pick

157
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: and score, special teams has to score. We have to

158
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: have a whole lot of things go in our favor

159
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: in order for us to pull out a victory. Rob

160
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: whenever it comes to a backup quarterback situation like this,

161
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: and I'm going to ask here in a minute kind

162
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: of just a prediction, because none of us know who

163
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback is, but if you had a feeling,

164
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: who would it be. But before we get into that,

165
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: what position is affected the most by a change at quarterback?

166
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: Because Ceede Lamb earlier this week was asked the question

167
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: He's had a ton of different quarterbacks now have thrown

168
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: them the football over the last couple of years, and

169
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: he felt like that gives him an advantage. But there's

170
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: a ton of wide receivers that have not had the

171
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: same or have not had different quarterbacks. They've had the

172
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: same quarterback and Dak Prescott throwing them the football over

173
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: and over again. But what other position has affected the

174
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: most rob whenever it comes to the change of quarterback, Well,

175
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: I think you answered it. I mean I would say,

176
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, the center position, you got to get the

177
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: cadence down to the same the same cadence as the

178
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: previous quarterback. But other than that, it's it's got to

179
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: be the skill position. Got the wide receivers. I mean, look,

180
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: the production the last few weeks has not been anywhere

181
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: close to what it's been, uh, not even with Andy

182
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: Dalton early in his stint as the starter, but definitely

183
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: not even close to Dak Prescott before he got hurt.

184
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: So the rapport, the timing with wide receivers, that's why,

185
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: I you know, we get to predictions in a minute,

186
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: but but that's why experience is so critical at those

187
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: two positions. It's why Dak had guys out at his

188
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: house throwing on a makeshift football field over the su

189
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: to try to get back what they didn't have during

190
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: OTA's It's it's just so critical, Isaiah, I agree, I agree.

191
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: I mean skill position, there's so much that goes into timing,

192
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: so much that goes into the chemistry, uh, you know.

193
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: But but not too far behind is you know, in

194
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: a close second is offensive line, And it really just

195
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 1: comes out to how much communication is being asked of

196
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback in terms of getting these guys set um.

197
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: Some teams put a lot of responsibility on the quarterbacks.

198
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: Some teams put a lot of responsibility on the center. Um.

199
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's the guard um, you know, depending on the

200
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: inexperience of the center. So it really just comes down

201
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: to that. But I think, yeah, in terms of the

202
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: chemistry between the quarterbacks or the lack there of the

203
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: chemistry between these quarterbacks and these receivers is definitely that

204
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: has to be. It has to be the case. Well,

205
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: and look at how the Mighty have fallen. Man. Eight

206
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: weeks ago we were talking about three thousand yard receivers

207
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: and yeah, we have three sports cars that we can't drive,

208
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: but three sports cars that we're putting in right, So

209
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: there's no way that this office can run with all

210
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: the options that we have, and the only thing that

211
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: we can rely on is our running game in a

212
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: short passing games and hopefully these guys could take it

213
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: the rest of the way and hopefully and just getting

214
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: back to some of our NFC East matchups, Andy Dalton

215
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: can return and that chemistry that we've been talking about

216
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: at the skills position can return as well. But right

217
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: now it's just not there, and these guys have to

218
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: be frustrated as all heck because of it. Now this

219
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: is the time to say it with your chest in

220
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: terms of where you think the Cowboys are gonna go

221
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: this Sunday. And once again, I want to just preface

222
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: this by saying, we do not know at this very

223
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: moment of this recording who will be the starting quarterback.

224
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: But if you had to lean one way or the other, rob,

225
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: who would it be at quarterback for the Cowboys this week?

226
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: And why? Who do I think? Or who would I

227
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: go with? Give me both? Why not? Well, I've said

228
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: if I'd go with one, I'd go with Cooper Rush,

229
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: mainly just because he's the one of the two that

230
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: I've seen play. I mean, I really haven't seen Garrett

231
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: Gilbert play at the NFL level. I Also, I think

232
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush's experience throwing to these particular set of receivers

233
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: and tight ends could give him an advantage. Now he

234
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 1: just got here and and so, and he did tell

235
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: us yesterday on a conference call that ninety percent of

236
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: the offense is pretty much the same as it was

237
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: last year when he was here. But if I had

238
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: to lean towards what they might do, I might say

239
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: Garrett Gilbert, just because based on what they've done to date.

240
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: You know, Ben de Nucci started last week, because he's

241
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: been here, he was there a little bit longer than

242
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: Garrett Gilbert. It's not that much of a difference. It's

243
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. But because of that, I might

244
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: say they lean towards that. I mean, Cooper Rush has

245
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: not been in with a team for a few weeks,

246
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 1: you know, and he just got here. For that reason,

247
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: I might I might side with the guy who's been

248
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: around the offense just a litttle bit longer. But we'll see.

249
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean he might wanted. That's why practice is so important.

250
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: You know. If Cooper Rush comes out and shows what

251
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: he can do and shows the rapport continue with the

252
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: guys he's played with before, maybe they make a different

253
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: decision now. I like that. I like that, Robin. I

254
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: believe the same thing as far as with Cooper Rush

255
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: and his familiarity with Moore system, but also with Garret Gilbert.

256
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: I think the other wrinkle is he spent a lot

257
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: of his time in the AFC AFC North with Cleveland

258
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: and also with with the Patriots, so that may give

259
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: him a leg up. And he's played in a June

260
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: Jones system where he's throwing the ball around a lot

261
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: at smu UM. So look, my heart says uh, Cooper Rush.

262
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: But it wouldn't surprise me if Garret Gilbert played because

263
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: of like I said, the wrinkle of him being in

264
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: the AFC. I'm gonna go with Cooperville. I'm going oh no, no, no, no, no, yeah, yeah,

265
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: yeahs name yea, he gets the nickname, yeah, freak gets

266
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: his nickname Cooper Rush. The Cooper gets already have we

267
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: not learned from this week? We're already there. That's that's

268
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: how he's whipping that thing this weekend. Uh we hear

269
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: last week he didn't work. No no, no, no, no,

270
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: I did not, So this week I'm giving Coop the bill.

271
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: All right to nod and Cooper Bille is gonna be

272
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback this week, reason being he has the most chemistry.

273
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: He is um, he is, he is has He has

274
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: the best relationship with H. Keller Moore and that's that's facts, right.

275
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, who's calling the

276
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: place right now? Keller Moore is calling the place So

277
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: the head coach is gonna come to the office, the

278
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: coordinator who calls the place right and say, um, who

279
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: you feel most comfortable with? He's like, uh, Cooper Rush,

280
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: Why Because I know him, I know what he's capable of.

281
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: I know that he knows that my language, he knows

282
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: my schemes, he knows all my stuff and I and

283
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: I just have a better knowledge base of him versus

284
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: going with Gary Gilberry Gilmore. You just don't you don't know, right,

285
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: you don't know, you don't know, right, he doesn't know him.

286
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: And nobody wants to go into a game with somebody

287
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: that you don't know, especially when they're responsible for controlling

288
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: your entire offense. So even if he even if Cooper

289
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: Rush is less prepared at this point in time, you're

290
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: more familiar with him, which means that you feel more

291
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: comfortable of making making different calls and things that that

292
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: nature within his offense audibles. You can go back to

293
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: things from your playboo from last year that you might

294
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: not even installede it. You know, it's just because of

295
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: a familiarity. And that's that's why practice yesterday was so

296
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: critical because it was a padded practice, it was a

297
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: longer practice like they normally do. They had a light

298
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: practice Wednesday coming off the late game. So if Cooper

299
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: Rush can come into practice and demonstrate a command of

300
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: the offense, even though there's some tweaks from last year,

301
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: then maybe that sways their decision. So yeah, it is

302
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: kind of a toss up because I mean, both guys

303
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: really haven't been here that long, so it's kind of

304
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of a watch. But Kyle, we're giving everybody nicknames. Man,

305
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: we're giving you nicknames. Yeah, yeah, we're sure right now.

306
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: Can't say that on there, but I think whatever you yeah,

307
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: I mean, but everybody has yeah, right, I think. I

308
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: think when you think when you compare the two and

309
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: you talk about it being a wash, you're going with

310
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: the more experienced in terms of years NFL quarterback and

311
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: Garrett Gilbert, and then you're going with a more comfortable

312
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: feel with Cooper Rush. And I'm kind of gonna want

313
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: to go off of what you just said, Isaiah. Is

314
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: it more so the coordinator's decision here? I know that

315
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's gonna ultimately have the final say, but is

316
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: there a lot of weight on what Kellen Moore has

317
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: to say in base of the fact of the playbook

318
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: just might be thicker for Cooper Rush and that's why

319
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: he might be selected. I don't think he has anything

320
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: to do with the how decided the playbook because no

321
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: matter who was at your who was at the helm

322
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: of the position this week, you were going to use

323
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: your whole playbook. But it comes down to you know,

324
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: what's your confidence in him? Right? What is your confidence

325
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: to that he's going to go out there and actually

326
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: execute the plays that you're calling the way of what

327
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: you want them ran. What's this? What's the confidence in

328
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: terms of you being able to call a play and

329
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: you knowing that he knows where you want him to

330
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: go with the ball, right, These things like that, Right,

331
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: and then you step into the huddle, Well, how are

332
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: these offensive line're gonna look at him? They're gonna look

333
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: at h and say, hey, this catch just got here

334
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: last week, And I'm gonna look at him like, hey,

335
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: what's up? Man? I ain't seen you in a while,

336
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: you know. So it's so, you know, all those all

337
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: those things matter, um, and you know, and the last

338
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: thing you want to do as an office coordinators going

339
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: to a game with somebody that you just are unfamiliar

340
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: with because it's too minish, it's too much new. You're

341
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: dealing with a stout defense, you're dealing with a you know,

342
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: with with talent all across the board. You're dealing with mismatches, um,

343
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: you know, tempo pace, all that jazz, and then you're

344
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: gonna throw a quarterback in there that you don't know

345
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: how how he's gonna handle it. You don't know if

346
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: he's going to execute your plays. You don't know what

347
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:33,719
Speaker 1: a snap count's gonna be like. You don't know if

348
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: he's gonna rush the snap count and throw your offensive

349
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: linement off. And now you're backing up five yards and

350
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: it's it's too much. It's too much. So you go

351
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: where you're most familiar, and that's with Cooper Rush. Do

352
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: you think that offensive line is also more familiar with

353
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush as well, even with the center that's a rookie. Absolutely, absolutely, yep. Interesting.

354
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: I've always kind of wondered back and forth which one

355
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: would matter more or at least this week, I've wondered

356
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: that because we're about to see our fourth quarterback in

357
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: the span of five weeks as a Cowboys fan. So

358
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: I mean, either way, it's not gonna mean go for it.

359
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: Look at it like this, right. We all used to

360
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: play pick up basketball, right, I know, I know Heck

361
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: meeds to be on the block. So you're going to

362
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: pick up basketball court, right, and all of a sudden,

363
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: you know you got next, You got next, right, And

364
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden here comes do without the car

365
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: and he comes on on the side on the sideline.

366
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: You got, you got three of your guys picked out,

367
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: and you're like, you know what, that dude's been sitting

368
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: for a while. I don't really know him, but hey,

369
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: that's I played with this dude a couple a couple

370
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: of years ago, and I remember him. He's not He's

371
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: not that great, but I know what I'm what I'm

372
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: gonna get out of him. Right, So you're like, I'm

373
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: gonna go with that cat because I know what I'm

374
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: going to get. I'm not gonna go with the new

375
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: cat because it's a curveball. Right, It's a curveball. I'd

376
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: rather go with or the potentially with less possible potential.

377
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: But I know what I have versus the unknown. Right,

378
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: It's just like stocks. There's just like stocks. You're gonna

379
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: go with the you're gonna roll the dice, or you're

380
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: gonna go with something that you know is steady and

381
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: you can kind of control it. I can kind of

382
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: control Cooper Rush aka Coop Deville. Do you have another

383
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: medal for I like the basketball? I like this. I

384
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: got a lot. I'm throwing it out there. Can you

385
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: try to throw it out there? I got more and

386
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: I got you know, I got heck Maharrison, I got

387
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: the h H. You know what I'm saying. I got

388
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: the rock phillis the RP. I got my initials, I arrest,

389
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: and we got k Y. That's it great, and we're

390
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: gonna stay right there. We're gonna stay right there. So look,

391
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: here's the thing. If we ever have a pickup basketball

392
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: game and I'm standing on the sideline, don't I can

393
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: not hoop alright, Perception Perception is not reality in this situation.

394
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: But either way, either way, it looks I think you

395
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: would probably be a lot more comfortable going into a

396
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: game like this if it were not the Bittsburgh still

397
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: the defense. So let's just call it what it is.

398
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: This is a tragedy. Uh And the this these quarterbacks

399
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: they have, they have not slept at all. It's kind

400
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: of like us man and John King standing at the

401
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: board all night. Man, they're gonna have to have legs

402
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: like kings. Ya. You saw my tweet this morning. It

403
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: was awesome. It was awesome. But either hell, either way,

404
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: it goes you know that the pressure that they're gonna

405
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: be under from the Pittsburgh still A defense is gonna

406
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: be a mention hopefully, And we talked about it. You know,

407
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,479
Speaker 1: the difference between Danucci and rush our Gilbert is hopefully

408
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: man they don't they don't fumble the ball. They if

409
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: there is a sack that they don't fumble the ball

410
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: as well. And you know that Pittsburgh still a defense.

411
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: That's what they're all about, is getting to the quarterback

412
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: and calls in those errors like that. Yeah, Mike McCarthy said, yes,

413
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: or the other day, you know, we gotta do this,

414
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, we got to have command of the offense.

415
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: And he said, we got to take care of the

416
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: damn ball. Damn ball. He threw in a four letter

417
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: word there. He's never done that before when it comes

418
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 1: to ball security. So I think, I think, I think

419
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: his patience is getting tested just a little bit. Eight

420
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: games in. Finally, finally, in the frustration you need you

421
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: need it. You should fear your coach. Yeah, I mean,

422
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 1: you should fear your coach. I mean, and all my

423
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: time in the NFL, the only coach that I didn't

424
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: fear was Coach Carroll and the only reason and coach

425
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: Coach Phillips. I didn't fear a coach Phillips either, But

426
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: that didn't we see how that went um when I was.

427
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: You know, I think if you think about the Steelers, right,

428
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 1: think about the personality of your coach. I know we

429
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: mentioned this a couple of days ago, Mike Tomlin. I

430
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: don't even know Mike Tomlin, but I know that if

431
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: I was on that team, I might want to do

432
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: everything that he says. I just I just might want

433
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: to do it. Right. You think about the shoot who

434
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: else coach Coffin at the time I spent with Coach Coffin.

435
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: You might want to get on board with what Coach

436
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: Coffin is saying, and otherwise you're probably not gonna be around,

437
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: right bella chain. Start thinking about all the different personalities, right,

438
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: and as we're talking about culture and establishing one, you

439
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: cannot establish a culture if you're not set putting your

440
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 1: foot down because people are always going to test it. Right.

441
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: I think we saw a little bit of it when

442
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: when b Carr got released, right, and then I think

443
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: we saw it a little bit on the back end,

444
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: but forward facing, you gotta let it. You gotta everybody know,

445
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: this is my team, this is how it's going to

446
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: go down. And we just I know that might not

447
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: be his his natural personality, but at some point in time,

448
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: you'd rather that be out in the forefront versus it

449
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: being in response to a bunch of negative which I

450
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: think we're starting to see right now, which you saw

451
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: the four letter work come out. Yeah, and it's like

452
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: and we don't know what he's saying privately necessarily at all.

453
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: But but no, to your point, like I think he's

454
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: very direct and honest with players. I think that's always

455
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: been his moo. But to your point, I think he's

456
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: probably had to balance, like this is a brand new team.

457
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: We haven't had a lot of time together, so I've

458
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: got to show these guys I care. But then at

459
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: some point, like when it's not getting done on the field,

460
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: you've got to put your foot down, like you said.

461
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: So you know, especially seven games in, it's reaching a

462
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: point where you know, you keep losing games the same

463
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: exact way. I mean, although they actually won the turnover

464
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: battle last week, but yeah, the turnovers on offense, they

465
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: just continue. So I mean that's the biggest thing. Man

466
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: whoever plays quarterback this week, just just take care or

467
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: the football. Please give yourself a chance in this game.

468
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: Can't give Ben Roethlisberger any extra possessions by no means

469
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: now we do have to take a break. We've gone

470
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: way over at this point, and I want to continue

471
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: this conversation because I feel like there's a ton of

472
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: pressure on this coaching staff this week, specifically to at

473
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 1: least see some positives. We will give our predictions later,

474
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: but in terms of the positives, I want to hear

475
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: about that and more about this coaching staff when we

476

524
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: I do want to preface it. I did not update

525
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: the standings. I forgot to do that this morning, so

526
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: I will tweet it out. I will following the show.

527
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: How's the one that's convenienced by it? Because he's the

528
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 1: only one that picked the Cowboys last week and he

529
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: dropped the game at least I think he might have

530
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: dropped too, but I'm not totally sure. I'll tweet it

531
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: out after the show. Way, we have the standing in

532
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: this election meddling right here, Racey, I'm like, I'm taking

533
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: my time, guys, I'm taking exactly oh Man, Rob Phillips,

534
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: Heck Harrison aka Luscious. And then we've got Isaiah the

535
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: tax Man. You are evil. You are an evil person.

536
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: I said, you're the one that said it though, so

537
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: you were thinking it, oh Man. So I kind of

538
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: want to continue this coaching conversation that we started in

539
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: the last segment. We're talking about fearing coaches and fearing

540
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: at least the wrath of coaches just because of one

541
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: four letter word that Mike McCarthy decided to throw out

542
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: in a press conference this week. But we haven't gone

543
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: We've gone all week without talking about Mike Nolan, especially

544
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: because they finally got a good performance out of the

545
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: defense last week, and we haven't really talked a bunch

546
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: about Nolan and really the improvement we saw on that

547
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: side of the football. What have you guys seen improvement

548
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: wise from the defense that can be attributed to the

549
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: coaching staff. Heck, is there anything that sticks out, especially

550
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: since now he's on the sideline and he's able to

551
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: coach up his guys. Yeah, I think it's just communication.

552
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: And you know those those high school coverages that we've

553
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: talked about that have been blown up until this point

554
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: that are just seem like I gots just couldn't get

555
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: a grasp of what coach Mike Nolan was talking wanted

556
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: from him. That's one thing that I've seen. As far

557
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 1: as the pass rush on the edge, I've seen that

558
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: improved as well. Guys. We've seen some communication errors in

559
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 1: getting guys lined up and we're still having those problems

560
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: with blown assignments there, but maybe just in the defensive secondary.

561
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: But I want to mention to you can talk about us.

562
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: We've talked about this all week. Just culture in getting

563
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: all those things established, Guys. I had at great opportunity

564
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: yesterday to interview my uncle Joe Green, and I asked

565
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: him about that. I asked him about that. I asked

566
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: him about what was it like to establish that culture

567
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: that the Pittsburgh Stealers have that permeates from the older

568
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: generation of stealers to the new generation of stillers. And

569
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: he talked about what those benchmarks were when he got

570
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: drafted in sixty eight from coach Nole and just setting

571
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: the standard through each in every class. And he talked

572
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: about the guys that came in all the way through

573
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: the eighties and the nineties and the standard being the standard.

574
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: That's what Mike McCarthy, coach Mike McCarthy is trying to establish.

575
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: Here is a standard in connecting the old generation to

576
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: the new generation of great Cowboy players, and we have

577
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: to we have to get that. And it doesn't matter

578
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: if it's a in the down years players are hurt.

579
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: The standard has to be the standard with us as

580
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys because the drop off is severe and defensively, offensively,

581
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: all of those great players that we've had, we have

582
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: to try and connect that so that we can have

583
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: that culture that we've been talking about. Rob. Now, that's interesting. Um.

584
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: To answer your question, I would just say I would

585
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: agree with Heck Money that it's it's the communication. There's

586
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: been less busts in the secondary. Uh. They did a

587
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: better job in the second half against the run. And

588
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: as we've continued to say, it's more about just being

589
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: assignment sound uh and and I think they benefited from

590
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: a confident standpoint making some plays early, making some big

591
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:56,719
Speaker 1: plays early, your best player tank getting things going on

592
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: the first drive, and then other players kind of feeding

593
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: off of that. I thought that that was that was important. Um.

594
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, what hecka said that. That's interesting about coaching

595
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: because from you know, the Cowboys tried this with Jason

596
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: Garrett for ten years and ultimately it didn't work out.

597
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: But the Steelers haven't had that many coaches. You know,

598
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: it's almost like a college program. I mean they have

599
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: they have coaches for ten twenty years at a time.

600
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: That that really lay out a culture that works over time,

601
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: and that's one reason why they've been successful. They're also

602
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: really good at drafting players and fitting players to schemes

603
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: that they kind of keep over time. More or less. Yeah,

604
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: I think more than anything felt us. I think for myself, Um,

605
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go with the fact that they

606
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: they're playing with a little bit more energy. Um. And yeah,

607
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:43,959
Speaker 1: that was that was apparent last week. I think by

608
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: getting those those veterans off the team and allow those

609
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: young guys to really step up and feel as if

610
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: they were empowered enough to establish start to try to

611
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: establish a character for this defense. And you know, hopefully

612
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: that character will eventually trying into a culture. Um. But

613
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: you know you saw do you law while you know,

614
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: playing hard. You saw Digs making some some some tough catches.

615
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: Obviously in coverage. Um. You know, when he played press coverage,

616
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: I think he was very effective and when he actually

617
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: got hands on guys, and I think you started to

618
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: see a little bit of the characteristics of what this

619
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: team could be. You know, Vanders getting a tough hit.

620
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: You know, that's what this defense is capable of. But

621
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: a lot of times you have to do it. You

622
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: got to see yourself do it, and then you got

623
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: to see and then you have to have fun with it,

624
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: right And when you when you do that, you start

625
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: to look around and be like, oh crap, this this

626
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: is okay. We can run around and hit people and yeah,

627
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: and and and we can actually high five each other

628
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: and jump up and get crop How about that? Man?

629
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: I mean in coaches and coaches happy, look at coach.

630
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: Everybody can look at coach. Oh shoot, coach, coaches, Oh

631
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: this is us right. So it's it's it's like a

632
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: it's like a trial by you know, a trial by

633
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: aerotype of thing. And you know it was it was

634
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: inspiring to see. Last week obviously wasn't what wasn't enough,

635
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: but it was inspiring to see and it's something to

636
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: build off of, So I look forward to seeing more

637
00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: of it. Now. Now that you've broken that sea and

638
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: you've you've kind of seen the success that you can

639
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: have as a defense, do you expect that to move

640
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: into a week when you play a better opponent, Because,

641
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: like we've talked about already, Philly is Philly. I mean,

642
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: we we have our own issues. They have their own

643
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: issues whenever it comes to the Eagles and the Cowboys.

644
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: But now that you have an actual offense that knows

645
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: how to move the football, one of the top scoring

646
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: offenses in the NFL coming to town, do you expect

647
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: that to continue? Isaiah? And if there's one person on

648
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: this defense that needs to step up and play well,

649
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: who would it be. I think that they're outmatched. I'm

650
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: just gonna say it as plainly, as positively, as simple

651
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: as possible. I think they're outmatched. But even when you're outmatched,

652
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: if they take on the character they took on last week,

653
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: and they play fast and they play physical, I mean

654
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: they make everything contested. I think even by you know,

655
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: even if this team comes in here and rents through

656
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: you like Seawee Water. I think you can still prove

657
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: a lot to yourself. Um, you know, you still prove

658
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: a lot to yourself. You can still prove a lot

659
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: to each other by how you play, how how how

660
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: you play against this this this offense. Um, because this

661
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: office is ran by one of the you know, the

662
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: the long standing veterans and more respected quarterbacks in this league. Uh.

663
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: You know, he has a ton of talent around him.

664
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: And and the only way in which you can beat

665
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: this team is if you're flying around. The only way

666
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: Baltimore compeace with this team is because they fly around. Um.

667
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: And I think that you have to. I think this

668
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: team forces you to play a certain way because if

669
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: you don't play that certain way, you have zero chance.

670
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: When I say zero, I mean zero, because they will

671
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: just run you off the table. So I think that

672
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: they have the opportunity to do that. When you talk

673
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: about as far as who who has to step up,

674
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: I think the law has to keep the energy going.

675
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: I think he has to keep the energy buzz going.

676
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: I think that everybody is now looking to him. I

677
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: think everybody on the second level is now looking to

678
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: vander esh you know, vanders You're you're our guy, and

679
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: Jayleen is just like, okay, yeah, you do you And

680
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: I'm I get to run around and and you know,

681
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: and I think those are the two guys that are really,

682
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, that are really need to step up this defense.

683
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: I'm not sure who was going to be in a

684
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: secondary Um. I like. I like Anthony Browns. I like

685
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: his you know how how tenacious. I like his fight.

686
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: But but we'll see, right, I totally agree it's got

687
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: a tank. Tank set the tone for the defense by

688
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: what he said after the Washington game and what he

689
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: showed from from Drive one against Philly and carrying it

690
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 1: through it was awesome tank for sure. Uh yeah. And look,

691
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: he plays hard all the time. He does. And I

692
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: said it earlier in the year he was on the

693
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: injury report. He didn't look healthy to me. He was

694
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: limping around, he said yesterday, I feel he feels great.

695
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: You know, he's been off the injury report for a

696
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: little bit. But I think it's showing up in his

697
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: play and in his production, not just with sacks, but

698
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: in the run game, Uh, setting edges things like that.

699
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: So that's key. And you know, just just I mean,

700
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: this is simple. But if you're gonna have a chance

701
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: against a team this good, we talk about complimentary football,

702
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: it's not just the defense. The offense has to take

703
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: care of it. They've got it. They've got to make

704
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: some big plays to were points. Special teams got to

705
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: take care of their house. It's got to be all

706
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: three phases playing their best game of the season. It's

707
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: just as simple as that, because this is probably the

708
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: best team they're gonna play all year. Now, both of

709
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: you guys make really good points, and I agree with that,

710
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: and I think that Tank is the guy that you

711
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: look to on defense. But in the NFL has been

712
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: any given Sunday, and so you've got to give the

713
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: Cowboys a puncher's chance, right if all of those complimentary

714
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 1: football things go as playing for us is don't turn

715
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: the ball over. But still, you, like you said, Isaiah,

716
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 1: this is you sort of look outmatch in this contest

717
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: coming up against the Steelers. But for the defense, I

718
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: think they just want to take away one thing. If

719
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: it's going to be the passing game that we can't

720
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: stop for the Stealers, let's not allow their running game

721
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: to have two hundred and fifty yards. James Connor does

722
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: not scare me. And so those are the things that

723
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: we can control for our defensive front. Establishing the line

724
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. We have been weak in that area. We've

725
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: seen guys o other numbers. I won't call them out,

726
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: but just completely just getting blown off the ball, getting

727
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: blown off the line of scrimmage. We have to establish

728
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: that play quicker, keep that energy weekend and week out.

729
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: But Tank is one, Alder Smith is another. I hope

730
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: that knee is getting better. Randy Gregory, I want to

731
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: see him this week and see what he brings to

732
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: the table because Ben has taken some sacks, and that

733
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: offensive line, no matter how you look at them and

734
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: being good, they still surrender sacks. So if we can

735
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: do the other dude that on the other side by

736
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 1: strip sack fumbling for us, I think it works. This defense.

737
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: All they have is to play with energy, play together,

738
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: and believe that they can get it done because no

739
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: one else believes that they can. It's a good point,

740
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: a lot of nothing to lose mentality whenever it comes

741
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,879
Speaker 1: to that defense, and really the entire organization heading into

742
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 1: this game on Sunday. But we've got predictions coming up.

00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm Kyle Yeoman's and we've got about five minutes to

786
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: knock out about five games and see how many we

787
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: can get from here. Let's go Ravens. Colts both teams

788
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: five and two Indianapolis six at home and six and

789
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: oz at home versus Baltimore all time including the playoffs

790
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: against the Ravens, and they are at home again at

791
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: Lucas Oil Stadium. Isaiah, who you got, Ravens. Let's go

792
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 1: Ravens on the road, Rob Ravens. They get a game

793
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 1: back after kind of blowing a lead against Pittsburgh. Heckma

794
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: the Baltimore versus Baltimore. No, I'm not that old, So

795
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: let's go Ravens. I'll go Ravens. Oh, that's that's a

796
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: good one. It's gonna be a raven sweep across the board.

797
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: I think Baltimore gets it done on the road. I

798
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: think they're just better. I like the Colts though, I

799
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: think they've got a pretty solid team. Okay, NFC East

800
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: Battle the least battle, I should say, Giants one and

801
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,439
Speaker 1: seven against the Washington football team at two and five.

802
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: New York has won four straight games versus Washington. I

803
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: think that street comes to an end this weekend. I

804
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: think Washington gets to win at home against New York. Heckma,

805
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: somewhere a tallet just flushed. Um, let's see, I'm gonna

806
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 1: go with the Washington I'm gonna go with the football team.

807
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, Jesus, Rob, Yeah, oh gosh. I you know

808
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: the Giants are playing better lately. I'll go with the Giants.

809
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,959
Speaker 1: Why not? Okay, I'm going I'm going with the nameless Ones,

810
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 1: the nameless, the nameless ones. Okay. Bears Titans, the battle

811
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: of the once forgotten Lost Toy qbs of Nick Foles

812
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: and excuse me, Ryan Tannehill, both teams with five wins.

813
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: Tennessee won two of the last three games against Chicago. Rob,

814
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: who you got Tennessee or Chicago? Yep? Um give me

815
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry and Tennessee Bears got problems on offense. That's true,

816
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: That's true, all right. Heckma, I'm going Titans Titans, Isaiah,

817
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,439
Speaker 1: I'm going with the home of the sweetness shy Town.

818
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: Going with the Burs. I'm gonna go with the Titans.

819
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: They've lost two in a row and I think they

820
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: could get back on track and this one and they're

821
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: at home, and I think that does play dividends. Now,

822
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football, this is gonna be a really good game.

823
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to this. Saints and Buccaneers. You've got

824
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: both got old timers at quarterback. You got Tommy be

825
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,720
Speaker 1: on one side, You've got Drew Brees on the other side.

826
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: Battle of the NFL's two top or top two all

827
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: time passing leaders. I'm gonna take the Saints reluctantly to

828
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: get an upset win over the Buccaneers on the road.

829
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 1: I think they get it done. Rob. The Buck's defense

830
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: is nasty from what I've seen, and you have Tommy touchdown.

831
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: Give me Tampa Bay. Heckma oh, I think the Cannons

832
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: are gonna be firing. Man. I'm going with the Tampa Bay. Yeah.

833
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: I'm going with with with TV twelve, my ex teammate.

834
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: I think Godwin coming back, and I think that Leonard

835
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: Poortnett's found his groove over there too. So going with

836
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: the Tampa. It isn't too late to change a pick.

837
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 1: Am I gonna get fine for changing a pick? It

838
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: would be a kangaroo court? Fine? Yes, but what what?

839
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 1: I just want to I'm curious as to what your

Speaker 1: what do I go? I gotta go with the Washington

841
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 1: football team. Sorry, I can't wait a minute. I'm asking.

842
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: I'm asking permission. Okay, I'm asking permission. Wow. Here's the thing.

843
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,439
Speaker 1: I feel like it would be unfair for any three

844
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 1: of us to tell Rob that he can or cannot

845
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: change his pick. So I'm gonna defer our judgment to

846
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: the all overseeing of mister Chris. What do you put

847
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: your ballot in? You can't change it, sir, Chris, team

848
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: is allowing you know. That's fair. That's that's fair. Isaiah's right,

849
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: let's you know, let's go g man, Let's go GM

852
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna disallow it at this point because Chris made

853
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,439
Speaker 1: a joe he was time. So we're gonna we're gonna

854
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: keep it. Thank you, Supreme Court. Beam getting the job done, Okay,

855
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: he said, be ready to that lawsuit. I love that. Okay. So,

856
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 1: moving on to the big one, Pittsburgh Steelers Dallas Cowboys,

857
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:27,240
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon on CBS our friendly neighborhood color commentator Tony

858
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: Romo on the call, what was that. We're not doing

859
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: a Seattle game. No, you're gonna Seattle, Seattle. We're all

860
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: gonna pick Seattle. It's gonna be Oh, you're one of

861
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,919
Speaker 1: the best games of the week. Would anybody have picked

862
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: playing Buffalo? It's the Seattle versus the Bills. That's a

863
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 1: tough game. Who okay, let's pick it fine, really quickly,

864
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: go Isaiah Seattle. Okay, rob So Seahawks. Okay, heckma, wow,

865
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: this wasn't even a game. We will pick it. He

866
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: can't do that, he can. It's probably the most competitive

867
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: game all week. Oh god, I'm going to Bills. Oh okay, Oh,

868
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna get a game back. I'm gonna pick. I'm

869
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: gonna see here. Okay, go in too, Steelers and Cowboys.

870
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: I'll go first, just to get us rolling. I think

871
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: whenever you look at this game, I think there is

872
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,399
Speaker 1: a chance the Cowboys make it close. I just don't

873
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: think they have enough and I think they fall at

874
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: home to the Steelers. Steelers are the best team in

875
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: the NFL right now, in my opinion. I think they

876
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 1: have a chance to make a run at a super Bowl,

877
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys obviously do not. And you're gonna throw

878
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush, Garrett Gilbert or been d Nucci out there,

879
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,439
Speaker 1: and I don't know if that's necessarily enough to even

880
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 1: remotely have a chance to win this game. So I

881
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna pick the Steelers, and it's gonna be

882
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 1: twenty seven thirteen final score. Isaiah, who you got? I'm

883
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: going with the Steelers thirty four to six. Thirty four

884
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 1: to six. Wow, that's a big gap, okay, rob Steelers thirty,

885
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 1: Cowboys fourteen. You know, we don't know who's starting at quarterbacks.

886
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: There's just not There's just more stability with the Steelers

887
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: right now and much better play over all this season.

888
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,439
Speaker 1: I gotta go with Pittsburgh. I hate it, but that's

889
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: the case, all right, guys. Oh my god, I have

890
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,439
Speaker 1: to I was taking my mic off and walking off.

891
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 1: So just to preface this pick, Heckma is the trojan

892
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: horse in the royalty of a Steelers royal family of

893
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,839
Speaker 1: me and Joe Green. We mentioned that earlier as his uncle.

894
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: All of your family right, Heck are Steelers fans? Correct?

895
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: But you are Cowboys, true blue all the way through. Okay,

896
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 1: before this pick is made, man Lorian, this is the way. Look,

897
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: and I'm telling it. It's gotten really disrespectful this weekend.

898
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: My family, a lot of tagging, a lot of posts

899
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 1: that have been made. Guys are digging up pictures. Uh,

900
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: it's not cool. And I just want to let all

901
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 1: of my family that know that you guys have no

902
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,919
Speaker 1: coop at all. Uh so, yeah, there's that, but this

903
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 1: came up. I gotta pick the Stillers. Oh he bumbled it.

904
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:15,120

905
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta fix you. Can you say that? I

906
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,279

Speaker 1: gotta stat you got it. We did, We got it,

908
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,280
Speaker 1: And hey, we're with you, buddy. We don't like picking

909
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers either, but it's just kind of where we're

910
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:34,120
