Speaker 1: WBC Mortgage studios at the Star and we appreciate you

11
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: guys taking some time with us to talk Cowboys football.

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: Got a lot to get into today. We will be

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: talking specifically about Kansas City Chiefs their defense versus the

14
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense. We're gonna take some time to talk a

15
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: little bit about the running backs on the Cowboys. There

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: was a little bit of talk yesterday, Dave. You wrote

17
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: an article about what they had to say and when

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett had to say. And we'll talk about the

19
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: running back position what we think will happen there without

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott. And we will also begin the show talking

21
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 1: about the injury report which we always do. So how's

22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: everybody doing this morning? Baller a F Derek ball or AF.

23
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: I like it. Yeah, that's a good attitude right there.

24
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: And yeah, all right, what does a stand? Can't talk

25
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: about it. I'll just get it. Tell you later, tell

26
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: you laid office. I'm good, Nick, good, all good, good,

27
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: all right, good, nice and full Nick. So you get

28
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: a nice healthy breakfast there before we get on the air,

29
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: I was working on it. There you go. All right,

30
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: let's get into it. Let's talk some injuries. Cowboys had

31
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: four players who did not practice yesterday for various injuries. Cheetahbewoozier,

32
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey, Tyrn Smith, Cole Beasley. Really the one there

33
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: that I think is most of note because it's new.

34
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: We'll not really new, but at least it's something that

35
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: we're monitoring for the week. Um, it's Cole Beasley. Any

36
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: word at this point on where he is he is

37
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: in the concussion protocol where he isn't in that protocol. Yeah,

38
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett said he's doing really well. He's been in

39
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: team meetings, he went trick or treating on Tuesday night

40
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: and was posting videos. He appears to be a great

41
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: video was it was cute, cute as hell. Yeah, Garrett said,

42
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: he hasn't really been showing a whole lot of symptoms

43
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: and such. You know, head injuries are always weird, so

44
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to prescribe too much. I don't know

45
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: if he'll play, but it sounds encouraging. So and if

46
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: he doesn't play in this game, then I would imagine

47
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: he would be back in time for Atlanta. So, I mean,

48
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: we've talked about it before. The guys that have concussions,

49
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: I mean maybe they treat it differently around here. We've

50
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: had two so far and they haven't played any football since.

51
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: So I would think that Nolan Carroll and Enrico Gathers

52
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: are not weighed the same as Cole Beasley here. But

53
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: in all, concussions are differently. Love just saying the two

54
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 1: that we've seen before, they have not played. So I

55
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: would like to think he'll be ready to go. If

56
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: he's out trigger treating, you know, good scary out there,

57
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'd be good. All right, Let's talk about

58
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: a couple of guys that were limited in practice yesterday.

59
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: Noah Brown thigh injury, Des Briant with a knee injury,

60
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: Willie Collins a foot injury. He showed up on the

61
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: injury report last week but played, and then DeMarcus Lawrence

62
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: shows up with a calf injury. Any of those concern you.

63
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: They were limited in practice, so the assumption is they

64
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: at least did some things, which is better than no

65
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: practice at all. I would assume anytime you're riding bikes,

66
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna hurt your calf or you have

67
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: a chance to hurt your calf. So yeah, I mean,

68
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: I know he was riding by We all saw that

69
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: he was riding bikes, So I just hope that that

70
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: doesn't come back to hurt this team. He rides. He

71
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: rides his bike every single day though. This is nothing

72
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: new except when you put it on camera maybe or

73
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: something like that. Maybe it hurts. What don't shake your

74
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: head at me? Why are you killing you where I'm not?

75
00:03:54,920 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: I'm not. I love Tyrone Crawford, He's great. Um um, yeah,

76
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not concerned. But those will all

77
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: be things Jason Garrett talks about. That is fine. I

78
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: saw and talked to Das yesterday. I don't think that's

79
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: a big deal. But you know, you have to list

80
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: that stuff when something happens. So none of those four

81
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: bother me as of yet, but I mean that'll be

82
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: something Jason Garrett talks about today. If any of them

83
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: concern me, it would be DeMarcus because I hadn't heard

84
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: anything about that, and you know, he's playing pretty really

85
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: good player. He's playing pretty well, So all right, Tittabae Woozier.

86
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: Just for the purposes of catching everybody up, the assumption

87
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: is he didn't practice again yesterday. He hasn't been practicing

88
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: last few weeks. At this point, we unless we hear otherwise,

89
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: the assumption is that he is probably not going to

90
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: be ready to play again this week. I have moved

91
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: him into that category in my mind where I'm just like,

92
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: all right, you don't have him. Yeah, He's into that

93
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: drop by Kent where you're just like, okay until you

94
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: hear that otherwise he is not going until Honestly, I

95
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: don't even care about his practice status, like I need

96
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: to see him in uniform on Sunday to believe that

97
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna play. You think, even when he's healthy, he

98
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: may still be inactive. I mean, he's been out on

99
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: the field every day for three weeks. Like people like

100
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: every day. I'm like, I tweeted out, I report who's

101
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: at practice, like everybody was at practice today? Or what

102
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: people are like, Cheeto was at practice, so he's gonna

103
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,239
Speaker 1: play And I'm like, he's been at practice since week six.

104
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: That hasn't translated to him being ready to play. And

105
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: let's make a distinction. Being at practice doesn't mean he's practiced, right,

106
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: means he's there. I mean, you know, he warms up,

107
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: he does some patent go and some other stuff, and

108
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: then he works with this conditioning, you know, the training

109
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: staff on his hammy. He doesn't we are talking about

110
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: the game, We're talking about practice. You're damn right, Ai,

111
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: You're right, and it's frustrating, But I mean you want

112
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: to be cautious with that, you know, I mean, you

113
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: don't want to sideline him for longer than he already

114
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: has been. But he's been sidelined for basically half the season,

115
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: So I mean, I don't know what to make of that.

116
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: Maybe he's not good enough to play. I mean, maybe

117
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: he's practices, but maybe he's not the best option. I

118
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: would have a hard time believing that because they wouldn't

119
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: list him as a DNP if he was going through

120
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: the team portions of practice, right, right. But I'm just

121
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: saying when you get when you get to the game though,

122
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: like he has been, he hasn't been active for the games.

123
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. That maybe he's not going to

124
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: be maybe not, I mean, maybe he's not better than

125
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: like Ben Wickery. I mean, you would like to, you

126
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: would like for him to get the opportunity, but I'm

127
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: just saying he may not be. Here's talking about once

128
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: he's healthy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's yeah, yeah,

129
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I mean that that's something that

130
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: we'll have to see because he hasn't played a whole lot,

131
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: so you just don't know. You don't know what the

132
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: coaches think of his readiness to be able to play either.

133
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: So all right, let's jump back into the running back situation. Obviously,

134
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott as of right now is suspended. There's still

135
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: is kind of that hell marry that's kind of sitting

136
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: over there out in space there the NFLPA waiting for

137
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: a ruling on whether they can get a an appeal

138
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: heard by or at least a temporary restraining order from

139
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: the Second Circuit Court, which they asked for it by Friday,

140
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: the courts under no obligation, right, just FYI, Right, So

141
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: there is this really really really small chance that something

142
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: happens there. But assuming none of that happens, they're going

143
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: to play without Ezekiel Elliott. And yesterday I thought it

144
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: was interesting because Jason Garrett, the running backs that are

145
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: left on the team all had something to say about it,

146
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: and they all seem to say the right thing. Let's

147
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: actually listen to what Jason Garrett had to say about

148
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: how they plan to work these running back in these

149
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: running backs in Kent. Excited about the opportunity for those guys. Again,

150
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: each of those guys have been very productive players, and

151
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: a Rod being the most inexperienced of the group, but

152
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: he's done a lot of positive things for us and

153
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: the opportunities he's gotten. Darren's been very productive, Alphred has

154
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: been productive with his opportunities even though they've been limited.

155
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: And you know, we're excited about giving those guys chances

156
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: to go play. And you know, I guess your question

157
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: is how do you substitute them. We're gonna give him

158
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: each opportunities. We're not gonna lay out what that plan

159
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: is they'll get opportunities to practice, and we'll work day

160
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: by day this week, and we think each of those

161
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: guys will have an opportunity to help us. So it

162
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: sounds like they're all going to get a chance. I

163
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: was Jason Garrett talking about the running back position. My

164
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: question for you guys is just based on what you

165
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: know of this team, based upon your experiences covering this

166
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: team and the coaches, what do you anticipate will happen

167
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: with regards to how they run these guys out. Who starts,

168
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: who's the guy that you think will get the bulk

169
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: of the carries. What are maybe some of the roles

170
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: that you could see for some of these guys. Well,

171
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: I think Alfred Morris will probably start. That's the way

172
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: that that's who they like the best, and that's that's

173
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: who they've liked this whole year, So I think he

174
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: will start. And then I think it'll just come down

175
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: too who's playing the best. I mean, if some guy

176
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: rips off a thirty five yard run, then he's gonna play.

177
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: So I think they're just gonna give I don't know

178
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: about third down. I I would say that they kind

179
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: of rotate McFadden in some but I bet you it's

180
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: Rod Smith gets in there. But I mean, whoever plays

181
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: the best in the second half, you know, in the

182
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: first half play in the second. I just ride the

183
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: hot hand. That's kind of most people do it. I

184
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: bet this is going to look a lot like kind

185
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: of what we thought it would look, or what we

186
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: talked about it looking like in training camp, in the

187
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: sense that Darren McFadden is your number two running back

188
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: who plays third downs and has receptions and stuff like that.

189
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: You know, you talk about him being the better option

190
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: as a true backup running back, and I think that's

191
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: what he'll be here. I think Alfred Morris is going

192
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: to have the bulk of the carries at least until

193
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: somebody proves that they should have more, and then yeah,

194
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: McFadden will fill that role that we kind of talked

195
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: about him having at training camp. And I don't like this,

196
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: but I think I don't want to afterthought. Seems harsh,

197
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: But I would imagine Rod Smith's workload is far smaller

198
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: than the other two guys, at least to start, but

199
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: I hope that he plays well enough to merit more

200
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: of that as this stretch goes on. I mean, six

201
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: games is a lot, so he'll have his opportunity to

202
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: show he can do at some point and hopefully he

203
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: makes the most u It, Amber, what do you think

204
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: I'd rather see Rod Smith like? I'm anxious to see

205
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: him play a lot more and see him out on

206
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: the field. Honestly, I know Darren is a veteran and

207
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's gonna get a lot of playing time here,

208
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: but he hasn't played a game. We haven't seen him play.

209
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,479
Speaker 1: When we did see him in the preseason, he wasn't

210
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: any great, So, I mean, he had some plays, but nothing. Wow.

211
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: Obviously Alfred was a lot better than him. So I'm

212
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: hoping that the Cowboys do give rod Smith some chance

213
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: to kind of go out there a little bit more

214
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: and prove himself. It's interesting you guys mentioned rod Smith.

215
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett was asked about Rod Smith and maybe what

216
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: his opportunities might be. Can't can you play that for us? Oh?

217
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: I think they're all different. They all have strengths. They

218
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: each have different things they can bring to the table,

219
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: and again, we have confidence in them. You know, We've

220
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: given rod different opportunities to run the ball, play on

221
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: third down. He's been a very good special team's contributor

222
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: for us, and he's just a guy who comes to

223
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: work every day with tremendous passion. He loves to play,

224
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: and he's getting better and better every day, so he's

225
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: gonna get an opportunity to do something for us on

226
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: offense as well. Yeah, it sounds like I mean, obviously

227
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: they're saying all the right things. Jason's not gonna gonna

228
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: show his hand on this one until the game, so

229
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: you won't really know what they're gonna do. But Dave

230
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: Ivan heard you mentioned yesterday something similar to what Amber saying,

231
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: and that you you'd think Alfred's going to be the

232
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: guy to get the ball of the carries, but you'd

233
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: like to see them not make rod Smith an afterthought

234
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: because you think there may be something there. And I

235
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: personally agree with that. I think I think he's a

236
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: guy that has some Obviously he's got size, he's got speed.

237
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: I'd like to just kind of see and maybe that's

238
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: what it is. It's just more you want to see it.

239
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: You know, you kind of want you kind of know

240
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: what those other two guys are. You kind of want

241
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: to see if rod Smith has a little something going

242
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: all the way back to April, like, there is a

243
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: lot of quiet confidence in this building that he's a beast,

244
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: and I would like to see him get a chance

245
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: to showcase that he had a chance. And he did

246
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: it at training camp. I mean, he was great at

247
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: training camp. He was great in the preseason. He was

248
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: like the goal line touchdown vulture at training camp, Like

249
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: it seemed like he was always the guy picking up

250
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: the rushing touchdowns. Having said that, like I said a

251
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: minute ago, I just don't think it's realistic to think

252
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: a guy with twelve career carries in the NFL is

253
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: going to magically just vault over these veterans with thousand

254
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: yards seasons and literally thousands of carries on their resume

255
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: for this coaching staff, Yeah, well for one hundred percent

256
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: until he does something that they can't ignore. And I

257
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: mean it's not like they don't have confidence in them,

258
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, But it just Alfred Morrison

259
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: Darryn McFadden have been doing this and doing it well

260
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL for a long time, and I don't

261
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: I think that they will have the first chance to

262
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: really do this thing well. And we'll see how it goes.

263
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: As you know, as these games go along. I know

264
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: Darren obviously, it's a veteran and has a lot of experience.

265
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: But are you guys expecting him to come into this

266
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: game and play pretty well out there, even though he

267
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: hasn't played at all this season so far, aside from

268
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: the preseason. I don't. Yeah, I mean, I expect him

269
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: to be I just my feeling about this whole thing

270
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: is I just expect him to be fine. I don't

271
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: expect him to light the world on fire or be terrible.

272
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: I just think they will be fine, They'll be good. Actually,

273
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: I actually kind of agree with you saying I don't.

274
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: I don't really expect and I you know, this is

275
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: always you just don't know how they're going to do it.

276
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: But I don't really expect that I'm gonna that we're

277
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: gonna see a whole lot of Darren McFadden. I think

278
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: this is really gonna be Alfred Morris and Rod Smith.

279
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: I actually think those will be the two guys that

280
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: will get the bulk of the carriers. I think McFadden

281
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: will get a couple, but I honestly think that at

282
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: the end of the game, we'll look back at the

283
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: at the stat sheet and Alfred Morris is going to

284
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: be the guy that basically carried the load for them.

285
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: There's something to be said for I mean, you know,

286
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: he is a veteran, but this coaching staff also isn't

287
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: the type to just throw a guy into the fire

288
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: after six weeks on the shelf. I mean, and that

289
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: doesn't seem overly responsible for that matter. So that's something

290
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: worth keeping in mind. Yeah, I mean, I think when

291
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: it's all said and done, I don't know how many

292
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: times you think they're going to run the ball on Sunday,

293
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: let's say twenty six. Yeah, I would guess Alfred Morris

294
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: will have at least sixteen or seventeen of those twenty

295
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: six carries. Like that's my guests. I think he's going

296
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: to be at least, you know, to start this thing off.

297
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get the bulk of the carries.

298
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: It seems like they're very confident. You listen to the

299
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: running backs in the locker room yesterday. Alfred was talking

300
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: a lot about Look, this is this unchanging thing for us.

301
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: We do what we do we think will be fine.

302
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: Are you as confident as they are that they can

303
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: carry the load as a group and not really have

304
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: a significant drop off from what they've been able to accomplish.

305
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: With Ezekiel Elliott, I'm not as confident as they are,

306
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: but I shouldn't be, you know what I mean, Like,

307
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: I hope you're confident. You're two time Pro bowler, You've

308
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: been in this league since twenty twelve. You know you've

309
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: been on playoff teams, You've been thousand yard rusher. I

310
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: would hope that you're really confident. I actually said that.

311
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: I was on one O five through the fan last night,

312
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: and if you think back, it feels like ancient history

313
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: at this point. But Alfred Morris joined this team before

314
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: Zeke was drafted, and there was a lot of excitement

315
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: about what he might be able to do behind this

316
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: offensive line, like the I mean, people thought that he

317
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: would have a career renaissance of sorts if he was

318
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: the Bell cow back, and obviously it didn't work out

319
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: that way because of Ezekiel Elliott. But I would hope

320
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: that he's really confident that he can do some good things.

321
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: I think he'll be fine, But like I said, I

322
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: would hope he's more confident than I am. How confident Unick, Well,

323
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: I think that I think that all three of them

324
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: are gonna play. I mean, I don't think that they're

325
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: gonna play. They're gonna do what Zeke does. But but

326
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: I just think it's gonna come down to what the

327
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: defense does. If the defense can keep them in the

328
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: game and keep them to the point where they can't

329
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: still run their offense, I think that these guys can

330
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: still run the offense. I don't I agree with you.

331
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: Mcfan's not going to get a ton of carries unless

332
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: he makes the most of them early that they're not

333
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: going to try to you know that they don't want

334
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: that to happen. They want Morris, they want rod Smith.

335
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: But if if McFadden gets in there and does things

336
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: that these other guys aren't doing, then you know he's

337
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: gonna play. He does have the explosiveness. I think we're

338
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: forgetting a little bit about what happened in the preseason.

339
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: I think he was. You know, there's no way that

340
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: Morris was clearly better than McFadden. I think McFadden was,

341
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: you know, had times wherever he was better, but he

342
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: did fumble and then that that was the key, and

343
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: that's always been the key for him. And that's what

344
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: I would worry about with him not being playing for

345
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: six games. All right, let's take our first break. When

346

Speaker 1: Amber and Nick will tell us about the one thing

349
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: that stands out to them about this defense, specifically how

350
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: it matches up with the Cowboys. Will do that when

351

395
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back. It is the second segment of the Rake

396
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: Live from the SWBC Mortgage studios at the Star. Let's

397
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: saw a little bit of Cowboys versus Chiefs, and let's

398
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: jump into the Chiefs defense. Yesterday we talked about the

399
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs offense pretty explosive. I think we all came out

400
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: of that show a little bit wondering how this defense,

401
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: how the Cowboys could match up against an offense like that.

402
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: But let's look at the flip side of the Kansas

403
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: City defense. Dave give us Scott a report on that defense. Well,

404
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: if we bummed you out yesterday, I'm here to make

405
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: you feel a little bit better today because it's funny

406
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: you just like you just kind of get stuck in

407
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: that mold we're talking about that yesterday where you're just like, Ah,

408
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are terrible. No, they're not. Like it's just

409
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: been this recurring cycle for so long that you think

410
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: that I think of or I thought of the Kansas

411
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: City Chiefs as like this rugged, smash mouth defense where

412
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: they'd have to quarterback. Yeah, they're not very good. They're

413
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: not very good at all. They have the they head

414
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: into this game with the thirtieth overall defense in the NFL.

415
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: They're giving up three hundred and ninety two yards per game.

416
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 1: I actually, while I was doing research for this, I

417
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: read a gamer a game story from Monday night, and

418
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: the story was about how the Chiefs defense got back

419
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: on track against the Broncos, which they did. I mean,

420
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: they got I think they had three sacks, they turned,

421
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: they got five takeaways. But this story was like, they

422
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: only allowed three hundred and sixty yards in this game.

423
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: And like that was supposed to be good. I was like,

424
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: that's not good, Like that's not something you should brag

425
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: about in your game story. They are twenty eighth against

426
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: the run, giving up one hundred and thirty one yards

427
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: per game. They are twenty eighth against the pass, giving

428
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: up two hundred and sixty one per game. Their nineteenth

429
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: in scoring defense, giving up twenty three So scoring a

430
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: decent bit better than yardage, which sounds a lot like

431
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. They're forcing opponents to kick field goals and

432
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: they get takeaways. So with that in mind, there's a

433
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 1: couple things that stand out to me. One, I think

434
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: this defense shockingly missus Eric Berry a lot. He tore

435
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: his achilles on in the fourth quarter of the first

436
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: game of the season. Daniel Sorenson is the guy that's

437
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: mainly responsible for replacing him. What's that? Oh yeah, I

438
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: thought you said, or Darren no poor? Yeah? Um, so

439
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: he's not a bad player, but he's not Eric but

440
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: he's got here. Yeah, And I mean Eric Berry's an

441
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: All Pro. He's great against he's a great tackler, he's

442
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: great against the run, and I think you see him

443
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: missing when it comes to them trying to stop the run.

444
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: Um Sorensen's down in the box a lot. They do

445
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: like he's like a almost like a heavy nickel. He's

446
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: their run support safety. He's just not as good at

447
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: it as Eric Berry would be. The other thing, the

448
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: other two things I noticed, Um justin Houston again, kind

449
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: of a hard guy to track because if this was

450
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: like twenty fourteen, we'd be I mean, it's like JJ Watt,

451
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: be real, real afraid. Um. Then he's got two injuries,

452
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 1: two knee injuries that really limited him the last two years. However,

453
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: he seems like he's on the come up, like I

454
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: think he's I think he might be back because he's

455
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: got seven and a half sacks through eight games. He

456
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: had two against Denver a lot. Here's the other thing.

457
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: I'm actually actually I wish I'd let off with this,

458
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: to be honest, because I'm I'm aggravated because I spent

459
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: the last five years listening to the Brian Broadesses of

460
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: the world talk about the right end bull crap, Like

461
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: all the good pass rushers in this league are lining

462
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: up on the left side these days, like I'm going

463
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: to capture the corner the right end. That's the most

464
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: important position of bs because DeMarcus Lawrence is on the

465
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: left side, Ryan Carrigan was on the left side, Von

466
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: Miller's on the left side, and Justin Houston's about to

467
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: be on the left side. So what do you think

468
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: that is? I'm guessing. Well, I mean, obviously it's an

469
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: easy answer. Obviously you want to take advantage of the

470
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: lesser tackle, right But then why why has it been

471
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: football one oh one for the last decade that the

472
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: most important position is your right end? And because they

473
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: think because you know there's a blind the blind side

474
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: like like that matters, it does much. It does not, really, no,

475
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of them they want to

476
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: go up they see this tackle, they see that tackle,

477
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: they want to go up against them. Say, look at

478
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. It makes sense, which is why again going

479
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: back to the draft. All right, I'm getting off topic,

480
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, but people are like, well, Taco just

481
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: he's probably not a right end, he probably doesn't have

482
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: that quick twitch. And I'm like, I don't care. Can

483
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: he play end at all? Can he play left end?

484
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: Move him somewhere, do something creative instead of just talking

485
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: about right end. So that's aggravating. Justin Houston is going

486
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: to play left end, and it's going to be yet

487
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: another tough matchup for Lyle Collins. I think he has

488
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: the potential to wreck this thing for the Cowboys if

489
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: he's playing the way that he can, which he's got

490
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: seven and a half on the season. He had two

491
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: on Monday nights, so that seems like something worth watching.

492
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: When when he gets a sack, they are five and oh.

493
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: This year, when he doesn't, they're one and two. So

494
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: teams have been able to kind of control him obviously,

495
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: and then he hasn't wrecked the game like you're saying, Um,

496
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: d Ford, is there other rush linebacker out of injured

497
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,719
Speaker 1: right now out of Auburn? He he is. But I

498
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: believe did he practice? He practice has limited yesterday? Um

499
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: or actually I take that back. I think he did

500
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: not practice. Did not. I don't think he practiced. I'd

501
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:17,959
Speaker 1: have to go back and look at that. You can

502
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: go ahead. He's he's a tweenter type. He's he's gonna

503
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: be the guy that's on Tyron Smith if he does play,

504
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: which that's a win for Tyron Smith all day long.

505
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: I think, um, the other guy that really stands out

506
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: and in fact, it's probably dumb that I guess he

507
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: did not practice. Did not that is that is something

508
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: to watch, although really back injury, I would he's a

509
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: he's a wash anyway, like de Ford. I'd be stunned

510
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,479
Speaker 1: if he's getting the better of Tyron Smith in this

511
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: game based on what I watched. Um, Marcus Peters, you

512
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: should probably know Marcus Peters. He's got seventeen interceptions since

513
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: he was drafted in twenty fifth. Really really good player. Well,

514
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: it seems like what was that a couple of weeks

515
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: he goes. It seems like he got beat up a

516
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: little bit a couple of weeks, like teams A team

517
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: kind of took advantage of him a few weeks ago.

518
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: Who was that that they played? They played oak They

519
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: played Oakland, and I mean Oakland moved the ball and

520
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: scored thirty points. Yeah, maybe I think it was him

521
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: that got I saw him get beat a couple times

522
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: for a touchdown, and I I wouldn't classify Marcus Peters

523
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 1: at least not yet. I mean, he's a damn good cornerback,

524
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: but he's not Patrick Peterson. Like you're just not gonna

525
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 1: complete any passes on him. Like I don't you'll win some,

526
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: you'll lose some, though, but he well, not like that.

527
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: But he is a ball hawk. Like the ball finds him,

528
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: he gets it. It's and it's not just picks he had.

529
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: He recovered a strip and return it for a touchdown.

530
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: Like he's just around the ball and he makes plays

531
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: on the ball or you know, if the ball is

532
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: tipped in his direction, he's going to find a way

533
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: to it. So throw at him at your own risk, basically,

534
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: which the other thing, they're right cool. I don't know

535
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 1: why you would throw at him because their right cornerback

536
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: is a disaster zone. Does he travel? Uh No, he

537
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: mainly plays left. Okay, Terrence Mitchell, we all remember Terrence Spechel. Yeah,

538
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 1: he's had some he's had some really good games for them,

539
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: but he's also had some dumpster fire efforts, which case

540
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: against Trevor Simeon and a Denver passing attack that was

541
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: not working. On Monday, he got benched for Kenneth Acker.

542
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's going to be a permanent

543
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: switch or if it's just kind of one of those things.

544
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: I don't think they have a solution that they like

545
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: on the right side, and they're just kind of doing

546
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: their best with what they got. So that's something I'm

547
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: looking for. Maybe you would imagine that you can take

548
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: advantage of that a decent amount. Peters has to travel

549
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: with death, right, Well, that's kind of what I'm thinking,

550
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: is like I just said, he stays on the left side.

551
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: But like in my head, I'm like, are they really

552
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: just gonna let dead line up against whatever's going on

553
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: over there? Because that doesn't seem start with him. Yeah,

554
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: which is whether but whether it's DEAs, whether it's Terrence Bryce, whatever,

555
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: I think you can get some big wins over there,

556
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: which is something I'm looking at, the big thing for them.

557
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at this and I'm like, so, how

558
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 1: are they doing enough to win games if their defense

559
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: is this porous, which I mean it really, it hadn't

560
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: been good. They gave up one hundred and seventy six

561
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: rushing yards to Levy on Bell and the Steelers, which

562
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: I made sure to watch that game because I feel

563
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: like that's how the Cowboys are going to play this thing.

564
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: And he was just doing his thing. I think he

565
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: ran the ball thirty two times for one hundred and

566
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: seventy six yards. Ste Zeke this week, right, yeah, I

567
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't it, but there's still that Harold hell Mary. We

568
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: talked about the Chiefs have and this it comes back

569
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: to this. I think they have thirteen takeaways, which is okay,

570
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: it's not amazing, but again, going back to the offense,

571
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: only three turnovers, so they're plus ten in turnover differential,

572
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: which I don't know. Something's got to give there right between.

573
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: I mean, the Cowboys are pretty good with the ball.

574
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: They're not very good at taking it away though, so

575
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be hard to win the turnover

576
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: battle in this game when you consider the Chiefs. I

577
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs odds of getting some takeaways better than

578
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: I like the Cowboys. Basically, that's what I'm saying. All right,

579
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: let's go scatter report now, Amber Nick, I need one thing,

580
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: If you could isolate one thing about this offense. I'm

581
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: sorry about this defense. What would it be. We'll start

582
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: first with you. Amber. Well, I kept looking at things

583
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: that could possibly make me feel better about this game

584
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: on that area, so I was looking. Without getting into

585
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: all the numbers, I would say their defense is the

586
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: worst in letting the opponent get their first downs, also

587
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: letting rushing plays for ten plus yards, Nick, was that

588
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: your point? Sorry, that does stand out, and and it's

589
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: good to notice that because that does stand out, especially

590
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: when they're not playing with Zeke and you wonder how

591
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: they're going the ball, right, So that's gonna be very important.

592
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: And also from the Cowboys offensive line, I think they're

593
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: gonna really have to help our running backs right now.

594
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm making sure they open those holes for them to

595
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: let them kind of get those yards because we do

596
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: know that zek is the one guy that can go

597
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: up against and get those extra one yard or two

598
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: yards for those to get that first down. And I'm

599
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: not feeling very confident about our running backs being able

600
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: to do that as explosive as Zik has been able

601
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: to do. So, so that's gonna be very important. And

602
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to take advantage of this of their

603
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: defense not being able to really stop the rushing the

604
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: run right now, and basically that's it. That would be

605
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: the one thing. And again, the Cowboys have been very

606
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: successful at scoring. They have scored pretty much over thirty

607
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: points every game, right, I mean over the last month. Yeah,

608
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: so they've been good at that. And also once they're

609
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: inside the thirty yard, the Cowboys rank second. They're still

610
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: in second place in the league of getting you know,

611
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: touchdowns every time they're inside the thirty. So that's good

612
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: for them, all right. Um, I'm gonna go flip to

613
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: the side that actually some things that they do well.

614
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: Kansas City's defense does well. You know when you're looking

615
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: at you said inside the thirty. Um, and then let's

616
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: go into the twenty. On the red zone. How about this,

617
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: when when teams are on third down against the Chiefs

618
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: inside the red zone, Chiefs are getting off the field

619
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: nine I mean that they're only converting nine percent of

620
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: those the teams that they're gonna now in the red zone,

621
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: in the red zone on third down, the Chiefs are

622
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: stopping them ninety one percent of the time. Wow. Yeah.

623
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: And the league average, that's the league average is thirty

624
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: six percent, which is about third down conversion average anyways.

625
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: But when the Chiefs defense down there inside the twenty,

626
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: teams are only getting nine percent of their third down conversion.

627
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: So settling for field goals. And now you settle for

628
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: field goals and you've got nu gent. Let's see, in

629
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: the last week it was good in a bad situation,

630
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: so it should be nice and you know, that's really

631
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: an amazing number. We really pent of the time in

632
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: the red zone they hold to a field goal, that's

633
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: within the twenty they hold to a field goal. Well,

634
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: I mean, but not necessarily, not necessarily, you can't just

635
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: say it ninety one percent of the time they're holding

636
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: to a field goal. They hold them to not a

637
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: touch they're stopping them on third down. Some that doesn't

638
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: necessarily mean you know, third and one from the one

639
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: they stop them, doesn't mean on fourth and one they

640
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: don't get the touchdown. But they are on third down

641
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: for the most part, which is setting up for a

642
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: field goal. So for the most part, most of the time. Yeah,

643
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: and that that number, that ninety one percent, even if

644
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: you factor in those few times that maybe they convert

645
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: a fourth down, that's still is going to keep that

646
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: number pretty high, probably thirty six exactly like that three times.

647
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: There's some bad teams. That's nuts, that's crazy. Yeah. And

648
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: and they're and they're bringing that average down to thirty six,

649
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: you know, because think about how many teams are at

650
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: nine percent. Yeah, So that that's amazing. So you don't

651
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: want to get to third down, and the Cowboys do

652
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: that a lot, especially without Ze, it's gonna be tough. Yeah,

653
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: field goals aren't gonna cut it against these guys, and

654
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: they're not. So that's and you know, that's one of

655
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: the things I was going to point out with this team.

656
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: I think that you were talking about Howard teams, you know,

657
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: with this defense playing as they play, when you look

658
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: at just the numbers, Howard teams still losing. It's really

659
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: about the offense. This team is all predicated on pressuring

660
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: the opponent, pressuring their offense to have to keep up

661
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: with the scoring. Right. We've seen other teams in the

662
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: NFL in past years where you have a really really

663
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: explosive offense, the Dallas Cowboys, right, What it does is

664
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: the defense is the benefactor of the fact that the

665
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: offense puts so much pressure on the other team's offense

666
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: and you fall behind by one score and you start

667
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: panicking like we gotta make that up because that offense

668
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: is going to be hard to stop them. And so

669
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: not to mention the again, they don't do anything stupid

670
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: to give the opponent an easy field. I mean to

671
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: what two turnovers turnovers? Three no, I'm sorry, three no interceptions,

672
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: three turnovers? Want well, Tyreek Hill, but Alex Smith has none. Yes,

673
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: but yeah, I'm just saying. I mean the quarterback. They've

674
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: turned the ball over three times in eight games. That's crazy.

675
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: It is crazy. It's when you look at this team,

676
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: I think, and that's where I keep going back to

677
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: how did other teams that have beaten and beat them?

678
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: I think the real key is can you run the

679
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: ball enough to where you keep their offense off the

680
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: field and give them limited opportunities? As you said, that's

681
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,479
Speaker 1: what the Steelers were able to do. They ran Leveon

682
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: Bell a huge I mean, that's a large number of

683
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: carries for any running back. But if you can do that,

684
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: and you can do it effectively, now you keep their

685
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: offense off the field, that gives you the best chance

686
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: to And that's also and I don't know if this

687
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't see the Steelers as this defensive juggernaut either,

688
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: but that I mean, that's about as napped as the

689
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: Kansas City offense has looked all year too. I mean

690
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: they scored thirteen points, a lot of three or now.

691
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,479
Speaker 1: It's a lot of not taking advantage of field position.

692
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: So well, let's go back to what you said a

693
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: little earlier. When you're talking about the you said, you know, how,

694
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: what would you expect Cowboys gonna run the ball twenty

695
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: six times this game? Actually, I kind of think it'll

696
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: be a little bit more. What do you guys think?

697
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: I think in a game like this, and as we're

698
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: kind of evaluating this team, even though you don't have

699
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,719
Speaker 1: your stud running back, you got running backs that you

700
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: think if they are confident in do you think that

701
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: maybe this is a game where you, even if you

702
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: do it by committee, you got to be rushing thirty

703
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: plus in order to really have a chance at success here. Yeah,

704
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: but you it's kind of the flip side. You have

705
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 1: to have success to rush the ball thirty plus. Yeah.

706
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: So I mean I always think teams are going to

707
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: go into a game trying to run the ball. But

708
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: if it's just second nine and then third and seven,

709
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: then you throw, then you're not running and you're not

710
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: getting off the field. So I think they're gonna try

711
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: to run the ball. I think Jason Garrett will probably

712
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: say yesterday and they'll say it today. We're gonna do

713
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: what we do. But that's the kind of my point though,

714
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: is if they're going to be successful, we'll just have

715
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: to be a game where they run the ball a lot,

716
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: because you're right, they're gonna have to run it effectively

717
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: in order to keep running it. But is there chance

718
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: for success gonna be their ability to run the ball,

719
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: and if they don't run the ball, it's gonna be

720
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: hard to win. Terrence Williams needs to make some plays.

721
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: I mean, there's just no doubt about. He needs to

722
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: make plays in this game. If Beasley's out there winning,

723
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: those guys need to make plays. But I mean they

724
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: really need something from that wide sever not just the

725
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: set number two options, but did they need to spread

726
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: the ball out and he needs to be able to

727
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: make some plays. Then they need to be able to

728
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 1: count on him. So I think he's my key player

729
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,439
Speaker 1: for this game because then they can kind of run

730
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: the ball. You know, I think you saw it. There's

731
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 1: no way Zeke's gonna rip off a seventy one yard

732
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: run against the Rams like that. The defense was different

733
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: with Morris in the game, and I think the defense

734
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: will be different, so they need to kind of take

735
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: advantage of that. Yeah, I agree, and I hear you, Derek. Yeah,

736
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: I mean, ideally you want to flirt with forty carries.

737
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: I mean ideally, Yeah, but not only does it depend

738
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: on how you're running the ball, probably defends on how

739
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 1: your defense is doing against the Chiefs. I mean, if

740
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: this is a track meet, then I just think that's

741
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: not realistic to think that you know you're going to

742
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: be you know, if they're down fourteen to three in

743
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: this game right off the bat. I'm not saying you

744
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 1: abandon the running game, but it's just harder to play

745
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: that grind it out style of football like you saw

746
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: against San Francisco. You have to be in control of

747
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: the game to play that way. One thing I will

748
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: say is if you go back to that would have

749
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: been two thousand and fifteen, yea, they went when to

750
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: Marco Murray last year, to Marco Murray's fourteen. If you

751
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: go back to that, it's sad with time. I am

752
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: bad with time, and I admit that. Yeah, But if

753
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: you go back to that season, one of the things

754
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: that was I think a trademark of this team is

755
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 1: they will fall behind in games sometimes, and they would

756
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: can they would then the next drive when they fall behind,

757
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: they would commit to the run, like that would be

758
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: a drive when they just run. Absolutely, I'll never run.

759
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: I'll never forget them trailing twenty one to three in

760
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: Saint Louis and just coming out and run all down

761
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: their throats. But and I'm that you're right, like falling

762
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: into a hole is no reason to give up on

763
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: the running game if it's early. But if you're talking

764
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: about thirty and forty carries and just run like just

765
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: like a you know, we're staying the same. The only

766
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: thing that opened it up for them to run the

767
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: ball as much as they did in the second half

768
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: against Washington was establishing a double digit lead and Washington

769
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: not being able to move the ball in the ring.

770
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 1: I mean, if if you're not in control of the game,

771
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: and if I mean if Kansas City's dictating the pace

772
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: that they go down the field, I just don't know

773
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: how realistic that is. But I think this is a

774
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: huge game, obviously for for Dak. I mean, this is

775
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: the first time he's really going to go out there

776
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: and play a game without Zeke, and all the pressure

777
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: is going to be on him. And it just so

778
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: happens that, you know, halfway up to the stands will

779
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: be a guy that he whose job he took in

780
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: Tony Romo, so and it'll be interesting to see how

781
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: he plays this game. There's gonna be some kind of

782
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: videos on the screen about Romo and welcome back and

783
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff and and come back. He's

784
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: handled everything that he's done, you know, every time there's

785
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,919
Speaker 1: been a big moment for Dak other than the first

786
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: half of the Packer game, but for the most part,

787
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 1: he's handled everything you know that he's done. And he

788
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: played well in that in the playoff game on the

789
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: in the second half. But we'll see how he does

790
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 1: in this game. There would be a lot of a

791
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: lot of eyes on him. Yeah. I mean, we've just

792
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time focusing on their run defense,

793
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: but they're not great against the pass either. Like there,

794
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean, there should imagine this is a really really

795
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: good football team that could use the number eleven overall pick.

796
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: I mean, they're a lot like the Cowboys, but because

797
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: they're getting nothing out of their front pie. Yeah, but

798
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm just saying they are. I mean, God, I just

799
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: imagine their defense is Okay, what if they had like

800
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: the number eleven overall pick a linebacker or a pass

801
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 1: rusher or something or another corner. I hear what you're saying,

802
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I'm I drank the my Homes

803
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: kool aid big time during the preseason. Like I think,

804
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be a good player. I think

805
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: he would be too. But if I'm Kansas City, he wouldn't.

806
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: I would trade him. I no, no, I disagree. Big Wow,

807
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: that was a big state. You think they would like that.

808
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: Well it's too late now, but yeah, right, well yeah

809
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: it's too late. But but why why would you have

810
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: done that at that point? Well, I mean I would

811
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: try to try to get some kind I mean, I

812
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: try to get a first for him, a team like

813
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: Cleveland or somebody that doesn't doesn't have anything, and I

814
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 1: would try to get something like that for him, because

815
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: I because Alex Smith is really good, and you're soul

816
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: in the fact that they should keep Alex Smith for

817
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: there for see for a little for a little while,

818
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: and then you know you maybe you draft another pick.

819
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm somebody's kicking themselves. I think for

820
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: drafting him. I will say this though, I think the

821
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: value only grows. I don't think you have to do

822
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 1: it this year. I think you give him another training

823
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: camp and if he performs in next year's preseason like

824
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: you performed in this year's preseason. Yeah, what you can

825
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: get for Patrick Mahons Mahomes after that is probably more

826
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,919
Speaker 1: than what you could have gotten right now. Probably. I mean,

827
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 1: Alex Smith is playing at the peak of his abilities

828
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: right now, and I'm not one hundred percent convinced it's

829
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: good enough. Really well, yeah, I mean we have you

830
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: got to prove it. The Chiefs have been good for

831
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: four or five years at this point, and I think

832
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: they have like two playoff wins against not great. Has

833
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: that been on him? We don't, I mean a little bit. Yeah,

834
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 1: I mean you're not. We have not seen a guy

835
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: that's on that like Aaron Rodgers level of putting a

836
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: team on his back. He's a good quarterback. Yeah right,

837
00:39:58,160 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 1: we have not on a lot of guys in the league,

838
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: just to be fair that of that. But but what

839
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying is potentially you're ceiling with Mahomes could be

840
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: so much higher. If he's what they hope he is.

841
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: I would never get rid of that. I would. I mean,

842
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: if he keeps progressing, I would hand him the keys.

843
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: Because the flip side of that is like, oh my god,

844
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: how much crazy better does this offense look? With this

845
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: freaky Texas tech kid who can run, run around in

846
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,439
Speaker 1: the pocket and has this insane arm. I mean, I don't.

847
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: I'm very intrigued by that guy, and they don't need

848
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: him right now, but I think they're gonna be happy

849
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: they My problem with him is they didn't win in college.

850
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: He wasn't really a winner. I mean, he was a

851
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: gutsy fun player to watch, but they didn't win. In fact,

852
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: I believe he started a game that they lost sixty

853
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: six to ten at Iowa State. So I don't I mean,

854
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I mean, I don't put a ton

855
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 1: of stock in Kellen Moore getting fifty wins at Boise

856
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: State and how it translates to the NFL. But also

857
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: at the same time, I don't like my star quarterback

858
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: going five and six and missing a bowl game in

859
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 1: a football you know, in college football where everybody who

860
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: breathes can get into a bowl game. I mean, there's

861
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 1: an especially for us. I'm just saying, I mean, we're

862
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: getting were I mean fun to watch. I like him,

863
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: he's a you know, gunslinger type player, but I just Reese,

864
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: I mean Dak Dak and Deshaun Watson. I mean that's

865
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: the blueprint of what you want in terms of But

866
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: I mean, like, what did Aaron Rodgers win at Cow?

867
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: Like Cow was good while he was there, but it's

868
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: not like he was racking up trophies. I mean, yeah,

869
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: people said the same thing about Peyton when he was

870
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: at Tennessee, like he was a good quarterback, a really

871
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: good quarterback. But they ultimately didn't really win anything of consequence,

872
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: did they. No, they won, They won one SEC title

873
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: while he was there, I think, but then they never

874
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,439
Speaker 1: were national championship they won, Okay, I'm not talking about

875
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: the national champion, just saying get your team in a

876
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: bowl game. It's still is Texas Tech though, right right,

877
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: Like the talent around him is not gonna be well

878
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 1: and the threat and the thing is is all those

879
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 1: guys at Texas Tech, all of them have were not

880
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: not really pro quarterback. You didn't like Cliff Kingsbury, He

881
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: wasn't a pro quarterback. I know, but well, I don't know.

882
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 1: I think Mahomes is unique among the guys that have

883
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: come out of there, and personally, okay, I do too.

884
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: I think he'll be okay. But the way Alex Smith

885
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: is playing and what they need on defense. I would

886
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: have man, there's a scout in that department that's like

887
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: I knew we should have gone defense drafted in the

888
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: second round and not first. But oh well, all right,

889
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: let's take our final break. We'll come back. Let's get

920
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: is like having Thanksgiving without the Cowboys. Basically, we wouldn't

921
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 1: recommend it. So next time you have a tailgate, homegate,

922
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,120

Speaker 1: a Dallas Cowboys tradition. Doctor Pepper the one ukrave. It

00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,399
Speaker 1: can be hard to find the right resource for learning

965
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 1: you have to. When I do, My Haynes read I'll

966
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 1: be like, sometimes you got to adjust when you wear Haynes. Sorry,

967
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 1: it's a part of it. It's what you pay for. Yeah,

968
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: that's why I cost eight dollars at Target. All Right, anyway,

969
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: thank you, And but now that was a good read

970
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: only one but two non brands for the Cowboys. Sorry,

971
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: that's my bad. Okay, I'm I'm in the office. But

972
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: but that's what happens. So you see those commercials where

973
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: they talk about other brands. Yeah, right, so we're basically

974
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: saying thanks Dave, Thanks Dave. No Haynes, no Food of

975
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: the Loom. Sorry, sorry, Michael Jordan, Hey, we mentioned we

976
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,720
Speaker 1: mentioned um off air. We were talking about Derek Johnson's

977
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: a linebacker for the Kansas cy Chiefs. Has been in

978
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 1: the NFL probably, I don't know, maybe as long as

979
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: you've been alive, Dave. That's not true. He was drafted,

980
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: drafted five. He's been around a long time. You actually

981
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: were telling an interesting story there. Well, I remember you

982
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: busted him my office on draft day. Not very happy

983
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: that they selected some dude. Uh, instead of well, I mean,

984
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: what has Troy State ever really done? I mean, are

985
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 1: they going to produce any player that's good? So now

986
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: we don't. We don't need this guy at eleventh overall,

987
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Ware. Derek Johnson's a guy that I liked because

988
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: back then I was trying to get it prepared for

989
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: the who we might draft, and I had to go

990
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: and search the internet and steal photos off the internet.

991
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: Probably do it back then, Yeah, I could, And so

992
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: I found three or four with him with the football,

993
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 1: Like Derek Johnson. There is in the orange jersey with

994
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: the ball. There he is scoring a touchdown in a

995
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: white jersey. I'm like, Ah, this guy's got the ball.

996
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 1: That's who we need all the time, all the time.

997
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: So I was like, what else, what else do we need?

998
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: I mean, who do we have in the middle there?

999
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: Scott Fajita, I mean who, I don't know. I don't

1000
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 1: even if that was Scott Shanley. Yeah, maybe you just

1001
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: named two Saints linebackers from that era that came from

1002
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Certainly came started with the Cowboys. Yeah, well,

1003
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if Vegeta started with the Geta was

1004
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: awesome for the Saints, so I won't hear it. Shanley

1005
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 1: was okay, Stanley was Shandley came through the Cowboys first

1006
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: and then ended up there. Yeah, Scott no Vegeta. I

1007
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 1: just like that name reminds me of GOK Did you

1008
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 1: just say no? Yeah, Dragon ball Z for the one,

1009
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,919
Speaker 1: but it's spelled differently, but the sound Yeah whatever, for sure.

1010
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Brady James, I know you were on the team.

1011
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes I lose my mind. Was he was there in

1012
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:30,399
Speaker 1: two thousand and five? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, he was there.

1013
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: What do you get drafted two thousand and four, fourth

1014
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 1: round pick two thousand and four or daddy? Derek Johnson

1015
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: was always just like he's like that quintessential badass linebacker

1016
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: that you wanted on your team, like, and he's it's

1017
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 1: been still doing It's been like thirteen years and he's

1018
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 1: still doing it. He's he's obviously dropped off a little

1019
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: from what he was, but still a productive player. I

1020
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 1: would imagine, like I don't know for sure, but I

1021
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: would guess he's probably a Chiefs Ring of Honor guy

1022
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: when he finally retires, when you probably All of Famer

1023
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: like DeMarcus Ware. But what was that look for? I

1024
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,320
Speaker 1: was just thinking we went to the Chiefs, and I

1025
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 1: mean everybody is in the Chiefs. Was that one of

1026
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,959
Speaker 1: those stadiums, we really had like three rings, yes, yeah, yeah,

1027
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:16,720
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I like remember sometimes like we I remember,

1028
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: we make fun of like the Rams because like they're

1029
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: well when they were in Saint Louis, they had dudes

1030
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: from la and never and like the Air, the Cardinals

1031
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: have guys from the other Cardinals teams that never even

1032
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: played in Phoenix. But as I would assume does Tennessee,

1033
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,439
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but like the Chiefs actually have like real

1034
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 1: deal history, So I mean, I would imagine that their

1035
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 1: ring of honors pretty prestigious. Elvis guys, I think. I

1036
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: think it was a lot of guys. That was the

1037
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: issue was that had a ton of guys. It was like, man,

1038
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 1: that's a lot of guys to say they all deserve

1039
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: to be in and this is not this is not

1040
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: a franchise that has won a ton of championships, right,

1041
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: Don't you got a ton of guys in your ring

1042
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: of honor? That seemed to I just want to say,

1043
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: Snoop Menace, remember him, Snoop Menace? I do remember Snoop.

1044
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 1: He's in the Ring of honor for them? He no

1045
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: say wow, Anthony for I don't know, might be Derek

1046
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 1: Derrick Thomas probably is, yeah, I would guess, and rightfully,

1047
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 1: so what about Christian Nakoye? I would actually love watching

1048
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: Christian You realizing we have throwback Thursday, Um, that's probably

1049
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: up right now. Last time the Chiefs played here, Last

1050
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:22,359
Speaker 1: time the Chiefs played here, ground wasn't even moved over

1051
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: there at the stadium. There was no at and T Stadium.

1052
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: Long Tony Romo had never thrown a pass in the NFL. Wait,

1053
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 1: when when was the last of all year? Was? The

1054
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: Chiefs are the only team that I've never played here

1055
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: at Aten They started breaking ground about oh six, We

1056
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: opened it in No. Nine. I guess I'm trying to

1057
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 1: figure out. Why wouldn't they have played in oh nine?

1058
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 1: There was a weird there was. Yeah, something happened in No. Nine.

1059
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: That will occasionally. No, no, no, something happened in thirteen

1060
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: or twelve. When when was the game that they would

1061
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: have been? Yes and right, yeah, they should have played

1062
00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 1: here in twenty thirteen thirteen, But but they they didn't.

1063
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: I don't know why. It's something switched with Oakland. There's

1064
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 1: sometimes you'll see like weird quirks. So the algorithm for

1065
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 1: the scheduling is you play each AFC division every four years,

1066
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: and it alternates, so like, you know, we play the

1067
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs here for every eight years. You should be at right,

1068
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 1: But every now and then you'll see a weird quirk

1069
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 1: where you go back to back and I don't know why.

1070
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 1: I think I remember it being something something with Oakland's stadium,

1071
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: something with their baseball stadium. I don't have to exactly

1072
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 1: what happened, but the Cowboys ended up having to play

1073
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: at home against Oakland. It is a long time and

1074
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: that's why. That's the point of what you were saying

1075
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: earlier about when Kansas City Chiefs fans that live near

1076
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 1: this area, they haven't been able to see their team

1077
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 1: here in a long time. You know, when this came

1078
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: out on the schedule, I'm sure they will all in.

1079
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,760
Speaker 1: And it's not it's not just that too. It's people

1080
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: that live in Kansas City that want to go to

1081
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 1: a game and this is an easy flight. It's a

1082
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 1: rather cheap flight, and you know it's coming. And Kansas

1083
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 1: City and Dallas have like this weird relationship, Like that's

1084
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,399
Speaker 1: something I've learned since I moved here. They're almost like, well,

1085
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: you know the history of that, right, Well, no, if

1086
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:09,399
Speaker 1: you don't, you're gonna get to go to Five Points Blue.

1087
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,800
Speaker 1: And they have a nice little story about there's a trophy.

1088
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: There is a trophy. Yeah, I know the history of

1089
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: like the franchises and the Hunt family and the Jones family.

1090
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 1: But I just mean in general, like these two cities

1091
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: as a whole are like weirdly linked. Maybe it's like

1092
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 1: the railroads from back in the day or whatever, but

1093
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: like it seems like people from Kansas City move here

1094
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: for work or vice versa, or you know, it's just

1095
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: not a hard distance to travel. So that's kind of

1096
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 1: how I think Denver is too. Like I know a

1097
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 1: lot of people that their families have moved between Dallas

1098
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: and Denver. There's like this I don't know, this weird

1099
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 1: kind of just relationship where yeah, if you're from here,

1100
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: there's a chance that maybe at some point you'll end

1101
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:47,359
Speaker 1: up about Dallas not so much. Although real quick, can

1102
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:48,800
Speaker 1: I at least give a little shout out. I'm not

1103
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 1: a baseball fan, so I'm not gonna pretend to be one,

1104
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 1: but just from my hometown, it was nice to see

1105
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: them get a win last night in the World Series

1106
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 1: that I know the city's going to be very very

1107
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 1: happy for the rest of the week, probably the rest

1108
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: of the best World Series ever was know well, right

1109
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 1: up until that dud of a Game seven. I mean,

1110
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: I was rooting for the Dodgers, but like, I'm not

1111
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 1: like heartbroken about it, but like I just it was

1112
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: boring game. Yeah, I just wish it had been for

1113
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 1: as many fireworks as were in a lot of the

1114
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 1: other games. It was just you were I know, I

1115
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: was expecting last night it was gonna be just like

1116
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 1: this crazy the Dodger ten base Runners. It was just not.

1117
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a good defensive game on Houston's party,

1118
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: but just wasn't as wild or crazy as all the

1119
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: other ones. I was rooting for Dallas Cowboys dot Com

1120
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: always and forever, rooting for the alumni of the website.

1121
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:38,919
Speaker 1: And if I had we had a chance to maybe

1122
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 1: get a World Series, right mister Roland Kavner working for

1123
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 1: the the Dodgers. Dodgers, Yeah, was he gonna get a ring?

1124
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:48,399
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it depends on how that works,

1125
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 1: but it would have been nice. Oh well, plus, you

1126
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 1: know Rangers, right, I'm Rangers. If you a Rangers fan

1127
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 1: cannot root for Houston I'm I'm happy. Still don't really

1128
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: like how that all that went down with the Houston

1129
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 1: and the Rangers and the Rangers getting a bad deal

1130
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:04,839
Speaker 1: out of that, which one, what are you talking about?

1131
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: The Yeah about the what they should have done for

1132
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 1: the hurricane and the Rangers got a real bad rap

1133
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 1: for I thought for no reason. But whatever, happy for them, good,

1134
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: it's good, happy, happy, happy for the city. Yeah, yeah,

1135
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: that was crazy. I believe it. Sports Hills traded three

1136
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: years ago? Has I mean, what's been a slow news week?

1137
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 1: They just the twenty seventeen the World Series champions Houston Astros,

1138
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: and didn't they predict the MVP as well? I thought

1139
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: I saw somebody to treat that. I don't know about that.

1140
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 1: Maybe he was on the cover. I don't know if

1141
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: they predicted him to, but he was, but still putting

1142
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 1: him on the cover, Like that's that's a pretty big

1143
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 1: it's a pretty big Paul years ago? Right again, do

1144
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 1: it again if they're still a magazine in twenty keep

1145
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: it going, right and keep it going all right, let's

1146
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: get let's try to get a couple questions if we can,

1147
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 1: and we're give me something from Twitter. Can they can

1148
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys actually hand the ball to Switzer on the

1149
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: jet sweep this week. Ryan Switzer is He's interesting because

1150
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: we don't know for sure if Cole Beasley's even gonna play,

1151
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 1: so he might he might have a bigger role this

1152
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 1: week out of necessity. I mean, that's something to watch.

1153
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: As the week goes on, we'll see if Bees gets

1154
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: into practice. I would like to see them continue to

1155
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 1: improve his role in the offense. I don't know if

1156
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 1: they actually will, but something to watch, especially if Beasley

1157
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 1: can't play. I'm telling you the best guy to run

1158
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: that is McFadden. He is the best guy to run

1159
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 1: that play. I don't know about up the middle or whatever,

1160
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 1: but my guy Bryce, I don't think so. He's the

1161
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 1: long strider, takes too long get up to speed, pick

1162
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: him up and put him down quicker than that. Yeah,

1163
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 1: I'd like Dez doing it because I think des can

1164
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,799
Speaker 1: truck some people over there, you know, if he gets

1165
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: in that mode where he's mad. Of course, if he

1166
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: was going to do it yesterday, he might have been

1167
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: able to He might have been able to have a

1168
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 1: big game if he was running the ball yesterday. He

1169
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,760
Speaker 1: seemed a little upset in the locker room. That was Tuesday,

1170
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: but whatever, yeah, you know, probably was set yesterday too.

1171
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: I actually think I actually am hoping at least that

1172
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 1: they will do a lot of different things in the

1173
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:08,399
Speaker 1: running game, not just that that jet sweep, but I'm

1174
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 1: hoping they do a little bit more of the zone read,

1175
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 1: use the quarterback, running the ball. I think they got

1176
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: to be they gotta be really diverse in what they do,

1177
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: because I don't think you have the kind of running back,

1178
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: like I said yesterday, when you have a Zko back

1179
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,319
Speaker 1: there anything else that you do, you would think it's

1180
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:24,800
Speaker 1: not going to necessarily be better than running Zeke. So

1181
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,320
Speaker 1: it kind of makes you say, well, just give the

1182
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 1: ball to Zeke. But in this instance, I think if

1183
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:31,839
Speaker 1: you the more diverse your running game is, the more

1184
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: you can create these misdirection type opportunities and do things

1185
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 1: that that kind of catch the defense. I think that

1186
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 1: gives even your running backs a little more opportunity to do,

1187
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: to do a little more when they have opportunities. So

1188
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 1: I'd like to see more than even just the jet sweep.

1189
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 1: I'd like to see them a lot seem to do

1190
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: a lot of different things. Maybe jet see with a

1191
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 1: couple of different guys, just again give you some diversity

1192
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 1: in your running game in order for the Cowboys to

1193
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 1: win this game. Why would you say it's more important

1194
00:56:55,680 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 1: third down conversions on offense or third down stops on defense. Hmm,

1195
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 1: it's kind of I mean, they're both important. Third down

1196
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 1: conversions because I just keep keep, just keep the Chiefs

1197
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: off the field. Don't put it in your defense's hands

1198
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 1: to have to make stops. Just hold the ball down

1199
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 1: stops because you can score on first and second down.

1200
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 1: If you're stopping them on third down, though you're probably

1201
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 1: getting off the field, that doesn't necessarily mean on the

1202
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 1: on the flip side that you can go score. So

1203
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 1: I guess that's why I hear your argument. That argument

1204
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: makes me say third down conversions because I feel like

1205
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: you're probably not going to stop this offense a whole

1206
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 1: lot anyway. But if you're able to keep converting third

1207
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 1: downs yourself, that keeps you on the field, That gives

1208
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 1: you an opportunity to keep the ball and keep their

1209
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: offense off the field, limit their opportunities and if they

1210
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 1: get if they end up with seven opportunities in the game,

1211
