9
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: We've got so much to talk about today. We've got

10
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of news here heading into the show,

11
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: so we're gonna spend quite a bit of time talking

12
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: about Tyren Smith and what that means for the rest

13
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: of this team for the rest of this season. We'll

14
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: also get you guys ready for Cowboys versus Giants, will

15
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about the offense versus Giants defense,

16
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: and also Cowboys defense versus the Giants offense, and then

17
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: we'll get to predictions. See how these guys think the

18
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: game will play out this Sunday at three thirty at

19
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: at and T Stadium. We got to start though with

20
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: Tyren Smith during his press conference this morning. Mike McCarthy

21
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: made it clear, I guess made the announcement that it

22
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: is now official that Tyren Smith will have surgery on

23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: his neck and that means he will be lost for

24
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: the season. That now makes two offensive linemen Cowboys were

25
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: expecting to have two of their better offensive linement they

26
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: were expecting to have that are now out for the year.

27
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: When you include Lyle Collins, if you want to go

28
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: back to last year, three starters that are now no

29
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: longer going to be on this team for the rest

30
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: or at least playing for this team for the rest

31
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: of the year, when you throw in Travis Frederick. That

32
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,919
Speaker 1: all being said, I want to get reactions to this news.

33
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: Let's start first with Unick. I hope he's okay. You know,

34
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: I hope he's okay for not just not playing. But

35
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, this is he's at a point his career

36
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: and that's a that's an injury that you don't want

37
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: to mess around with. Of course, he's done everything that

38
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: one individual can do. They haven't been to the Super Bowl,

39
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: of course, but he's done as great as you know,

40
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: He's had a phenomenal career. I'm not saying he's done.

41
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: I hope he's okay. I hope this is just a

42
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: setback for this year to get back and get ready

43
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: to go. Yes, they're gonna miss him, and let them

44
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: talk about, you know how much he's gonna be missed.

45
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: But I just for his sake, man, I hope, I

46
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: hope he comebacks. Ope he can come back next year

47
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: and this will be he'll be better for this surgery.

48
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: Amber Well, you know it's something serious when he gets

49
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: to the point where they decide to get him to

50
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: get surgery, because a guy like Tyrn, I mean, he's

51
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: one of the toughest players I've ever seen in the

52
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: time that I've been following football. I mean, it's amazing

53
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: the things that he's been able to endure, endure and

54
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: then go through. So I know that it must be

55
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: pretty bad that to the point that it's gonna end

56
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: the rest of the season for him being submitted to

57
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: a surgery. But like Nick said, I do hope that

58
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: it's not something that it's completely just career ending. I

59
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: know that this is something that Tyrant has been dealing with,

60
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: not just the next but just his back in general.

61
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: He's been dealing with for several years. So hopefully it's

62
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: he's able to make it through and come back next

63
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: year better Dave. In a weird way, I'm kind of relieved,

64
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: and I don't I mean, obviously it sucks that Tyrn

65
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: can't play. It's going to be a challenge. You know,

66
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: you got what two starts out of him, so you

67
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: got to make your way through fourteen games without one

68
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: of the best two or three left tackles in football.

69
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: But it's kind of a relief just that you know,

70
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: hopefully he feels better, Hopefully he can get this taken

71
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: care of and play a few more years where he's

72
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: relatively healthy, because this guy has just been in pain

73
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: for like five years, and you know, we're in the

74
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: locker room, we're around the team like, I don't you know.

75
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: It's Romo esque the way that this guy has just

76
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: dealt with nagging problems and it's been five years at

77
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: this point. So I'm relieved that he's gonna hopefully get

78
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: it taken care of the lineup. But in a weird way,

79
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: it's kind of a relief on the Cowboys end that

80
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: you know you're not gonna wake up on Sunday and

81
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: be like, oh crap, it's flaring up on Tyron again,

82
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to downgrade him, and I you know,

83
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to talk trash on Tyront. I know

84
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: he works as hard as he can to get in

85
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: the lineup, but you just kind of have some certainty

86
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: that he is down and not part of this season anymore,

87
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: and you don't have that uncertainty. Let's talk about what

88
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: this means for this offense. We've looked at the Cowboys

89
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: now through four games, and I think we all agree

90
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: they are a high powered, very potent offense, and some

91
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: of that they've had to do without Tyrant. The one

92
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: thing I look at, though, is I think they've only

93
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: and you guys may have a different difference of opinion here,

94
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: but I think they face two premier pass rushers so

95
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: far this year. Aaron Donald Miles Garrett. Both of them

96
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: had their way with this offensive line. They had moments

97
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: in those games when they created problems for this offensive line.

98
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: As you get farther into this season, you're gonna face

99
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: some better defenses at times that pass rush. You can

100
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: think what you want to think about Washington's defense, but

101
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: their pass rush is outstanding. They got some real good

102
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: players up front that can rush the pass or you

103
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: look at a defense is like Baltimore, and I think

104
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: that they're gonna be some some challenges for this offense.

105
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: How much do you guys think this changes how potent

106
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: this offense can be with now the loss of Tyren

107
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: Smith for the year, not just for a couple of games,

108
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: not just for a half, but for the entire season.

109
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: Let's start first with you, Dave. I mean, they haven't

110
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: They've had Tyrn for half of these games, and in

111
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: the ones that they didn't have them, they still looked

112
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: plenty of potent to me, And I mean, of course

113
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a problem. Of course, it's gonna suck.

114
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: You know, they have played a couple of premier pass rushers,

115
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: but they've also gotten a little bit lucky in the

116
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: sense that Seattle in Atlanta don't. They don't have that.

117
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: The Giants aren't going to have that on that level

118
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: this weekend. But let's talk after that Washington game. They've

119
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: got about ninety five badass pass rushers, So yeah, there

120
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: there's gonna be There's gonna be some rough patches for sure,

121
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: but um, Dave at least shown that they can still

122
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: put up yards and points without these guys in the lineup,

123
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: So there's gonna be some moments that scare me and

124
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: should scare everybody, But I don't. I don't think it's

125
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: gonna be so bad that they're going to revert to

126
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: looking like, you know, like twenty eighteen prior to the

127
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: Cooper trade. I think they can still you know, be efficient. Amber,

128
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: I agree, We've seen it happened. I mean, we've seen

129
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: a game where they had to play without tiring and

130
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: they've made it work. My only concern would be, just

131
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: let the off clean up your game, clean it off

132
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: from the beginning, to start moving the offense from the

133
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: beginning of the game, and not wait until something that

134
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: you mentioned Derek about a week ago. You know, the

135
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: question is like, Okay, are they playing better maybe because

136
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: the defense is starting to get tired a little bit

137
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: and kind of loosening it up during the game. So

138
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: you cannot let that happen. You need to find a

139
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: way to figure it out from the beginning of the game,

140
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: first half of the game and get him moving because

141
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: it's not always gonna work out. As we've seen, it

142
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: doesn't matter how much they try to come back. It

143
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily mean that you're gonna walk out of that

144
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: game winning. But to go back to your question, we've

145
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: seen it happen, so I do think that they're capable

146
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: of making it work. Well. I think it's going to

147
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: be a problem in the run game. I mean just

148
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: because and then it has been a problem. You can

149
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: figure out a way to offset a pass rush and

150
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: by just throwing the ball quickly and get it out

151
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: of your hands and maybe help Chip and all that stuff.

152
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: But when it comes to actually trying to run the

153
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: ball people, you know, we forget that about Tyron Smith,

154
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: not forget, but I think his his athletic ability for

155
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: his size is something that we always talk about. But

156
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: he's got power too, of course, and he helps in

157
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: that run game. And I think that they're just gonna

158
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: miss that, you know, they're just like they miss lyall

159
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: Collins is power as well. So that's where and that

160
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: affects their balance. And we've talked about this before. And

161
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: you get down in the red zone you have sometimes

162
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: it's harder to run the ball in their short yardage.

163
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: I think that's just they're going to continue to miss it.

164
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: And she just says clean it up. That sounds good,

165
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: but you're talking about players that are now inexperience and

166
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: their game isn't clean, you know, because they're young, they're

167
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: really they just got they just got here. Um, you know,

168
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: it sounds like they're gonna I don't know who's gonna

169
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: start it this week, but it sounds like it could

170
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: be a guy that you know, it's bounced around on

171
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: practice squads that might be starting this week. Yeah, let's

172
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: before we get to that. I do want to talk

173
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 1: about where we think this this thing falls as far

174
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: as who's going to be playing at what position. But

175
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: I do want to get opinions from Dave and Amber

176
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: regarding which you just talked about, how much does this

177
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: affect the running game? Which do you think is more

178
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: affected by the loss of Tyren Smith for the season,

179
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: the past game or the run game? Amber, I think

180
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: definitely the running game. I mean, we've seen them being

181
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: able to get the passing game going, but as far

182
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: as the running game, Ezekiel Elia hasn't been able to

183
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: be as productive as he's been in previous years, and

184
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: obviously that's something that they are lacking in himself too. Obviously,

185
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: these errors where he gets the ball loose and all

186
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: that I think that's something that he can clean up himself.

187
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: And then as far as the running game goes once

188
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: I truly believe that once they solidify the offensive line,

189
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,599
Speaker 1: and I know that there are some inexperienced guys are

190
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: just not the amount of experience as your previous starter

191
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: tackles that you had before. But sorry, I'm rambling a

192
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: little bit basically what I'm trying to say, once you

193
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: figure out and clean up the offensive line, solidify it,

194
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: I do think that eventually it's gonna take a couple

195
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: of weeks for Ezekiel Elio to be able to get

196
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: his running game back into place and be able to

197
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: be a little bit more productive than what we've seen

198
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: so far. Dave, No, it's actually it's a really good point.

199
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: And I hadn't I hadn't considered it because I'm I

200
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: just want to ring wing it around all the time.

201
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's probably gonna not be great. You're

202
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: gonna miss that, but just throw the ball. Zeke's a

203
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: great pass protector, so that should help you out in

204
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: that regard. I mean, I have absolute faith that the

205
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: passing game can still can still be viable. I'll be

206
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: interested to see what the running game can get going

207
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: with so many moving parts, I would expect it to

208
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: not look amazing. You know, I just thought of this.

209
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: You might actually might help your running game just from

210
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: the fact that you're going to help your tackle, whoever

211
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, I think Blake Bell's gonna get

212
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: more snaps this week. You're gonna keep the tight ends

213
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: in more. And by doing that, you might see more

214
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 1: looks on your defensive front on the defense to run

215
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: the ball, you know, and by doing that, because then

216
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna have better blockers in place to help. But

217
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: then you know, Dak might look out and go, we

218
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: should just change this into a draw or run here,

219
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: And so therefore you might see that because of the

220
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,599
Speaker 1: first personnel they're forced to play to help. Yeah, that

221
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: could happen. The one part that I'm a little bit

222
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: concerned about when it comes to all of this is

223
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: I think the best thing that the Cowboys passing game

224
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: does is go down feel. That's the part that they

225
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: can create these really big plays and they can quickly

226
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: get back into a ball game that they fall behind

227
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: him because they have that ability to go down feel.

228
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: If teams look at this and say, hey, they don't

229
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: have the time to be able to go downfield, or

230
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: if we got a good enough pass rush to what

231
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: we don't give them the time to go down feel.

232
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: What you do is neutralize what the Cowboys do best

233
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: in their passing game, in my opinion, And if you

234
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: do that, that makes it tough on you on both sides,

235
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: because not only will you not be able to do

236
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: what you do best in the passing game, but teams

237
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about the deep ball as much.

238
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: That means they can bring that safety down. That means

239
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: they can stop the run. They got an extra guy

240
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: to stop the run. So I think all the way around,

241
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: that's what I'll be playing. I'll be looking at, is

242
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: can the Cowboys keep that part of their off that's

243
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: still flowing. Can they still go down feel and utilize

244
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: a guy like Michael Gallop in those moments in games

245
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: when they they're gonna go down feel? And if they

246
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: can't do that consistently, I think that's gonna be one

247
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: of the lynch pins that could really really hurt this offensive.

248
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: This offense. Let's let's talk a little bit about the

249
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,599
Speaker 1: offensive line and how you think it will be constructed,

250
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: and I want to look at this from a couple

251
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: of different perspectives. Obviously, this morning on the radio and

252
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: one on five to out of three the fan here locally,

253
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: Jerry mentioned something kind of hinting around at the possibility

254
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: of Zach Martin moving to tackle. Let's talk about, first

255
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: of all, what do you think the Cowboys will do?

256
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: Not necessarily what we what you want to see, what

257
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: do you think the Cowboys will do for this week

258
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: on the five positions on the offensive line. Let's start.

259
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: Let's start first with you, Nick, since you're having so

260
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: much consternation over there. I mean, it's really tough. The

261
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: only thing I think you can just hang your hat

262
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: on it is to say that Tyler Beyotest will be

263
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: its center. Yeah, I mean, everything else is really up

264
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: in the air. I think we know, though, I mean

265
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: I would guess I'll take a stab at it. I mean,

266
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be Brandon Knight left left tackle,

267
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: Connor left guard, Beyodi at center, Zach at right guard,

268
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: and then a right tackle. Let me get my coin

269
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: out and flip here Senat maybe because because Jerry mentioned

270
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: him on the radio, and I just think that they

271
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: do watch tape and they see Steele. I just can't

272
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: imagine Steel being the starter, but I think you will be.

273
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: You think Still's gonna be the starter? Still Steel for now? Yeah,

274
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: I mean I don't love it. I mean, you know

275
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: what I heard about Snat was like, man, he's a

276
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: really good basketball player. And I'm like, well, you know,

277
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: they're not playing the Mavericks this week. They're actually playing

278
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: you know, the Giants. I don't know what that helps you,

279
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: but but athletic. I get a Partnell type athletic, you know,

280
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: good quick feet and all that kind of stuff. Amber,

281
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: what do you think the five this weekend? I mean

282
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: I would agree with Nick and say the same thing

283
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: I don't obviously want to put I don't want to

284
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: put Steal out there. But as far as the other guys,

285
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: you obviously the Cowboys are gonna know more than we do,

286
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: but me personally, I don't. I can't speak much about

287
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: the other guys that they brought in because I haven't

288
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: seen any I haven't been able to see much from them,

289
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be tough. I mean, do you go

290
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: with the guy that you haven't really played just yet,

291
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: or do you go back to what you already know?

292
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: It's like pick pick with your poison. Which one do

293
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: you prefer? Do you take a risk and plug the

294
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: new guy in and just see how it works, or

295
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: do you go back to the chance of hoping that

296
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: Steel just plays a little bit better than he's done

297
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: in the previous games. But as of right now, and

298
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: that's a tough question, I really don't know. I see

299
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: every possibility as a something that could happen, because we've

300
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: seen that McCarthy is not afraid to plug a guy in.

301
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter if like, oh, this was the

302
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: starter last week. He doesn't care. He's gonna suit it

303
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: up if he needs too. Dave, don't sell yourself short Amber.

304
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: You like to think that the Cowboys know better than you,

305
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: But everybody in America wanted Brandon Knight at right tackle

306
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: last week, and they went with Terren Steele, and they

307
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: admitted they were wrong after about fifteen snaps. I don't.

308
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's impossible to predict who plays right tackle

309
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: unless you're allowed at practice, which we are not. It'll

310
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: be I think, I do think they're going to try

311
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: to stick with an actual tackle at tackle for as

312
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: long as possible. It might be Steel, it might be

313
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: Jordan Mills, it might be Greg snot. I I don't

314
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: have a feeling. I know for a fact that they've

315
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: tried all three, like all three of them are are

316
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: getting reps. I think they're gonna try one of them,

317
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: and Zach is going to be your your break glass

318
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: in case of emergency. And if that happens, you probably

319
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: plug Connor McGovern in at right guards since Joe Looney's hurt. So,

320
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know who will get the start,

321
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: but I would guess they're going to try to stick

322
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: with the tackle. It's amazing that you're going into this

323
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: game and there's four legitimate options to play right tackle,

324
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: three of them that day, you know, just mentioned and

325
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: I didn't even throw Jordan Mills out there, who's played

326
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: the most of anybody. He played for the Bills, and

327
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: you know, he was actually here for like a few

328
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: hours back. I don't remember what year. Nobody remembered him

329
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: except for Rob Phillips, who remembers everything, and he did remember.

330
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: I think it was twenty fifteen, but yeah, yeah, which

331
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: is the year that everyone tried to forget. But I

332
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: just think that there's so many options there, and ye,

333
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: Dave said it best. These are the three and then

334
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: because it is a Rob Peter to pay Paul type situation,

335
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,239
Speaker 1: if you move Zach Martin out to tackle, and then

336
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: you have the guard because now you're gonna put a

337
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: guard in there that's never played. So yeah, I mean

338
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: you look at Georgian question. But yeah, I was gonna

339
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: ask whatever happened to Ron Leary. I know he came

340
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: in and was looked at and all that, but I

341
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: never heard anything actually happening with that is them you

342
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: know where. I know you weren't necessarily looking for a guard,

343
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: but at the same time, if you think of moving

344
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: side Martin maybe to the tackle position, maybe Leary is

345
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: an option by guard. Yeah, I mean, I really don't

346
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: know why it broke down. I don't know if it

347
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: was money, if it was not a good fit, if

348
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't in good shape. I might have just been

349
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: time and they were like, right now, we'll hole still

350
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: and we know that that's in our back pocket, and

351
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 1: maybe now they got to go to their back Well, okay,

352
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: they are going to do this, and this isn't their

353
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: back pocket, this is a side pocket. I guess I

354
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: don't know, but they're gonna bring Adam Redman, and I

355
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: wish I could see the look I get Derek here. No,

356
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: look yeah, side probably not. He's been here, he's easy,

357
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: he's played, he's played different positions. I think he's actually

358
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: played some center. I think he's center guard. Yeah, so

359
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: you know it's it's more of a backup. I mean,

360
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: I think he's here. But of course, now you know

361
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: you have to you have to be on the radar

362
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: for two months before you can get something. I mean, no,

363
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: it's six days. But I think I think he's going

364
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: to be in the COVID protocol for to to get

365
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: you know, take the test, so he can be ready,

366
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: ready to play. I mean at this point, when I

367
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: look at this team, I'm I'm just like, Okay, you

368
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: got a guy like Jordan Mills who has played a lot, Yeah,

369
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: and on an offensive line where that's a premium. Right now,

370
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: I would personally say throw Jordan Mills out there. If

371
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: you want to keep if you want to keep Zach

372
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: where he is, and you don't want to create you

373
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: want to create as little extra movement as possible, I

374
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: think you go with Brandon Knight at left tackle, and

375
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: I think you put Jordan Mills in there at right

376
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: tackle and see how that goes. If something should fall

377
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: apart and it doesn't work, then I would not have

378
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: a slightest hesitation in moving Zach Martin. And then let's

379
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: see what this guy who you had a second round

380
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: grade in com McGovern what can he do a guard?

381
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: I just want to see you. I know that they

382
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: may be seeing him every day in practice. I just

383
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: want to see what can he do? Also real quick?

384
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: I know we go to break, but cam Irving is

385
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: also going to mix into this. Not this week, but

386
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: it sounds like next week he could be there as well.

387
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,479
Speaker 1: But again, again cam Irving, the same cam Irving who

388
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: the Cowboys decided Terrence Steele should play out exactly right

389
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: over him. Yeah, all right, so we're gonna take our

390
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: first break. When we come back, let's talk about Cowboys

393
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,320

Speaker 1: his the second segment of the show Life in the

430
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: s WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star, we've talked about

431
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: Tyren Smith in the offensive line and what that will

432
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: mean for this offense. Now let's focus in a little

433
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: bit on this upcoming game. Cowboys take on the Giants

434
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: this Sunday three thirty at at and T Stadium. Let's

435
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: first start by can I say something real quick about

436
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: Tyren Smith. Sure never alluded to it, but I just

437
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: want to throw this point too. How great is he

438
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: to be to need surgery? I mean, he needed if

439
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: he needed it now, he needed it last week too.

440
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: To need surgery on your neck would still play eighty

441
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: two snaps And I don't remember really a problem from

442
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: him in that game. And you know, Miles Garrett wasn't

443
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: even sniff in that side of the field. He didn't

444
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: have to, I mean, but still he didn't have any issues.

445
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 1: He played eighty two snaps. He didn't feel good after

446
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: the game at all, Like you tell. I saw him

447
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: actually walking into the slower than usual because Tyren's got

448
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: that slow glidewalk anyways, but slower than usual. But he like,

449
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: just to be able to play at that level and

450
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: need next urgury, it's amazing. I mean, he he is

451
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: by far. I mean, he could never play another snap

452
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: and he'll be in the Ring of Honor and Hall

453
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: of Fame. I think. I think hall of fame as

454
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: a person who battled neck issues for a long time

455
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: and then ultimately had to have neck surgery. I can

456
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: tell you it is the worst existence. Not possible, but

457
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: it sucks because sleeping at night, which is the time

458
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: you really need to recharge, that's a luxury when you

459
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: got neck issues. And so if he's been dealing with

460
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: this for years, my hat's off to him. And by

461
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: the way, he's on top of that going out and

462
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: getting into a car wreck every weekend. Basically that I

463
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: respect every respect. Yeah, just not just every weekend, every

464
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: minute I heard. I mean, I herniated a disc in

465
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: my back like three years ago, and anybody that knows

466
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: me knows that I'd still whine about it, like like

467
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: bending over to pick stuff up sucks. And he played

468
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: he played football with that for months, for for months,

469
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: during a several years stretch. The man went out there

470
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: with that and had people, you know, yeah, getting into

471
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: a car wreck every week. I mean, he's the toughest

472
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: m effort I've ever spent time around in my life.

473
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: So the moral to this story is he is a

474
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: bad dude, and we all respect what he's done. And hope,

475
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: as you started this conversation with Nick, hope that this

476
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: means that he has, first of all, that he has

477
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: a better quality of life than what he's been experienced.

478
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: These last few years. But on top of that, hopefully

479
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: it means he can come back and he can continue

480
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: his career and he can play well for the remainder

481
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: of his career because he is an outstanding player and

482
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: a really tough seven straight Pro Bowls. Yep, it's gonna snap. Yep,

483
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna you know, it's gonna end obviously. All right,

484
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: this game, let's jump into it. Let's talk Cowboys versus Giants.

485
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: Let's start first with the Giant offense versus a Dallas defense.

486
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: How concerned to you about Daniel Jones and his ability

487
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: to scramble? Last year? He I mean last week he

488
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: was tied for most rushing yards on their team. I

489
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 1: think with forty five he is Throughout his career, he's

490
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: been a guy that certainly he can get out of

491
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: the pocket, and he can he can make you pay

492
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. How concerned to you that about that?

493
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: With this particular defense, Let's start first with you Amber. Look,

494
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: last week, I was convinced. I was convinced that the

495
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: Cowboys were gonna have a great game. I had my

496
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 1: hopes up. I believed. I thought, Man, this is gonna

497
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: be the games where the defense is able to kind

498
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: of start turning things around and play a little bit better.

499
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: That obviously didn't happen. It was actually worse than what

500
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: we've been seeing so this weekend, regardless of them playing

501
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: the Giants and the Giants offense being absolutely terrible, I

502
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: am worried about every aspect of the game. Doesn't matter

503
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: that it's the Giants. I do not trust the Cowboys defense,

504
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: even though I still believe that they're gonna hopefully play

505
00:25:55,119 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: better this weekend. They should Otherwise I'm just gonna I'll

506
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: give up talking about the defense. But right now, any

507
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: little thing so he's scrambling, yes, that's gonna be a problem.

508
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: The Cowboys defense has had an issue with stopping the

509
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,479
Speaker 1: running game and trying to attack the pocket getting there

510
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: and attack the quarterback. So anything that they do, any

511
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: little thing like that, any little scramble, yes, the Cowboys

512
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: are gonna have to string scramble behind him and go

513
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: after him. So yeah, it's gonna be a problem, all right, Dave,

514
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: You know it really bums me out about Daniel Jones.

515
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, like he's gonna be able to extend

516
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: some plays and they're gonna have to account for that.

517
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: Probably pick up a first down or two that you

518
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: would prefer he not. But what bums me out about

519
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is early scouting report on him at this

520
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: point in his career is that he's good for a

521
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: handful of really dumb decisions per game. Like, you know,

522
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a lot of talent around him. He's

523
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: athletic enough to extend plays and he's gonna try to

524
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: force some things because he needs to. And what bums

525
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: me out is that I just don't trust the Cowboys

526
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: to take advantage of that, Like, why should we have

527
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: faith that they will? Like they don't get takeaways. They

528
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: haven't this season, they haven't in seasons past. You know,

529
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 1: we saw a lot out of Treyvon Diggs in training

530
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: camp in terms of ball skills that hasn't translated to

531
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: the season to this point, at least not as well

532
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: as you would prefer. You know, I think he's had

533
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: to drop picks, So it just sucks to think that

534
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna give you those opportunities. And I just

535
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: don't trust the Cowboys to take advantage of them. Yeah,

536
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: nobody that's playing in the game has an interception for

537
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, right, I think she is the only one,

538
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: and of course Trayvon Diggs did force that fumble. But yeah,

539
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I do think that that I think the

540
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys will get some turnovers in this game. I think

541
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: that they will this will be their best defensive performance

542
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: of the game, I mean, this season. But um, you know,

543
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: I just really is concerned about this one at all.

544
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not. I just I don't think I heard,

545
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, I was told today on the radio one

546
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: or five three that the Giants their vegas is saying

547
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: that their point total will be what twenty one and

548
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 1: over under. That shocks me that I getting twenty one

549
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: points on the Cowboys. They're not. So I just think

550
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: this is gonna this is not gonna be in a

551
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: close game. I really don't. Why are you so sure

552
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 1: about that? I just think that Giants are terrible, terrible,

553
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: I really do. I think, but I think I think

554
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: that they're terrible. And I know what you're about to say.

555
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: I mean, but I don't. I don't don't do anything

556
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: really well, and they Cowboys do one thing really well.

557
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: I think we'll see that. I think it's just gonna

558
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: be a fight about who gets punched in the face first.

559
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: And I think the Cowboys will well this game. They'll

560
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: do it. And if you do that to the Giants

561
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: with the way their offense is set up, I think

562
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: all I'm saying is the Cowboys are gonna strike first,

563
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: strike first strike hard, no mercy, sir, you have no idea,

564
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: just to make sure you were gonna oh really well

565
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: score right, score the score on offense? They yeah, I

566
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: mean they score, they throw the ball, they pass around,

567
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: and I know that both tackles are out, but I

568
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: think that they'll ste that. I think they'll strike on

569
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: the on the Giants first, and then I think that'll

570
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: force Daniel Jones and them to kind of have to

571
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: force the back in the game, and I don't think

572
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: they will. I think the Cowboys win this one, probably

573
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: by three touchdowns. All right, let me throw the set.

574
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: You did that right now? Um, you got Jack Garrett

575
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: coming back to town. Obviously, the advantage of a guy

576
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: like Jayson who's been here for so long is that, uh,

577
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't know the scheme necessarily, he's not a part

578
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: of the coaching meetings and all. A lot of stuff changes.

579
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: But what he doesn't know really well is the personnel.

580
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: If you were Jason Garrett and you were coming back

581
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: to play the Cowboys, what particular player or position do

582
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: you think you would be looking at to say that's

583
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: the guy we need to exploit. Oh well, yeah, who

584
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: is the guy that you're looking at right now saying

585
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: this is the gap we're gonna go and exploit this

586
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: week because we know that we can get him in

587
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: these situations and we know we can take advantage of him.

588
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: I'll start with you same answers last week, and it

589
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: will be the same answer. I'm looking at five four

590
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: every shot I get if I'm the opponent. He is

591
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: the lynchpin of the defense. He in the run defense

592
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: as well as in coverage. You got a super athletic

593
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: tight end. I don't think the Cowboys are crazy enough

594
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: to try to cover Evan Ingram with Jalen Smith, but

595
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: you should be able to take advantage of space in

596
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: the middle of the field and try him in the

597
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: right game see if he's up to it. Nope, he

598
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: was last week and until otherwise, until proven otherwise. I

599
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: think of Jaylen Smith as like nick um, I didn't

600
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: hear that last thing that Dave just said, but um, yeah,

601
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: somebody somebody called me while I was in the middle

602
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: of making my point, thank you State Farm Auto Insurance

603
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: means you need to change airplane mode the guy I'm

604
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: looking at. Sorry, oh man. I you know last week

605
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: it was Treyvon Diggs, and I don't really know if

606
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: that if it matters. I mean, it's just whoever the

607
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: Giant's best best matchup is, because there's not one guy

608
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: that that does things exceptionally well right now. So I

609
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: think it's just wherever the matchup goes, you know, I

610
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: thought on hanging with the boys this week. Nate Newton

611
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: had a great point. He said, Eric Polstra knows it

612
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: knows exactly what Lebron James is, and he can't stop him.

613
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: You know, so sometimes just knowing personnel doesn't always mean

614
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: that you can stop him. That makes sense when you're

615
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: talking about Lebron James. They don't have any Lebron James

616
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: on this defense. They don't. I don't know that there

617
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: are guys on this team you're like on this defense.

618
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: And that it was wow that that have shown that

619
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: if you like, I know how to get that guy,

620
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take you out at this game that you

621
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: all said you can't do it because he's just too good.

622
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: We haven't seen that play. I don't have any Lebron

623
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: James on their side of the ball either. Maybe not

624
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: not bad example. Sorry I was told this week sometimes

625
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: my analogies are bad. Maybe if you flip the coin

626
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: and you talked about Cowboys offense versus the Giants defense,

627
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: maybe that's the that's a good analogy. Maybe I don't know, Amber,

628
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: what do you think? I got nothing from from Nick's comment? Like,

629
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: I don't even know what you said. What was your point?

630
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: Everybody is wall sound like me. Now you're supposed to

631
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: sound better than me when when you speak. Look, but no,

632
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: I honestly I have not been watching the Giants play

633
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: this this year. I've seen some little highlights here and there,

634
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: but overall, I don't I would assume that Jason Garrett

635
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: is still the same Jason Garrett we've known for the

636
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: past why ten years. So with the way that the

637
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense is playing, I think that there's nothing that

638
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: scares me if I'm the opponent. There's no area that

639
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: scares me from the Cowboys defense other than al Donna Smith.

640
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: Other than that, nobody else. So I think you just

641
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: spake and choose your battle depending on the best player

642
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: that you got on your offense and the area that

643
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: you as an offense would rather try to exploit. Well,

644
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: I will say this, the one thing that I think

645
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: we learned from Jason Garrett during his time here is

646
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: the whole concept of the nameless, faceless opponent. And if

647
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: that's the case and they're not really looking for matchups

648
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: to exploit, then that helps the Cowboys, I think. But

649
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Dave. If there were one player,

650
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: it was one player, and Jason was willing to have

651
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: his offense kind of geared towards taking advantage of one player,

652
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: I think you would probably look at it and even say,

653
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: I know what teams did to us, and we can

654
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: go back through a number of teams that tried and

655
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: created opportunities for themselves to be able to isolate Jalen

656
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: in coverage and when they did that a lot of

657
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: times they were successful. And so I do look at

658
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,240
Speaker 1: that matchup and that actually matches up with the one area,

659
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: like Dave said, that's the one area that the Giants

660
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: offense actually have A pretty good player like Evan Ingram

661
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: is a good tight end and he's a very athletic

662
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: tight end. So if I'm the Giants and if I'm

663
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett, I'll go into this game thinking how can

664
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: I create opportunities to isolate j Jalen where he's gonna

665
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 1: have to cover him, and then try to take advantage

666
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: of that matchup because I think that is their best matchup,

667
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: the Giants offense versus the Cowboys defense. All right, we're

668
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 1: gonna take our final break. When we come back, We're

669
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: gonna flip and talk a little bit about the Giants

670

714
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 1: run into Miss Price because she was always there. Now,

715

719
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I always like seeing her if the

720
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: Cowboys won. If they didn't win, then it was kind

721
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: of because she was sad and all that, she still

722
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: was Miss Price when to lose, she still was Miss Price.

723
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: She could be here without the microphone and you would

724
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: hear her. Yes, he's absolutely all right, let's get back

725
00:37:55,880 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: into it. Let's let's joined the virtual call. Oh, put

726
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 1: it on. Yeah, we could. We could always get well,

727
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, we got to see if somebody's at

728
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: our house, second helper get on. I'm not sure she'll

729
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: be able to get that technology, but well we could

730
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: try it. Just stereotype in how do you know, I

731
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 1: just know, dealing with my mom like sometimes it's a

732
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: little bit of a challenge, so can get it done?

733
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: All right, we'll see, we'll see. All right, Um, let's

734
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: talk about this Giants defense versus the Cowboys offense. When

735
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: you look at the and I asked Bucky a lot

736
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: about this earlier this week, you look at the teams

737
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys have played. Obviously they've been really good

738
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: offensively statistically, but the one game when they were not

739
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: was against the Rams. That defense, I think is ranked

740
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 1: like tenth or eight somewhere in there in past defense.

741
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: This is the first time since then that the Cowboys

742
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: will be facing a past defense that is statistically ranked

743
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: that high. How much do you guys think that the

744
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: value is the success that we've seen from the Cowboys

745
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: offense in a lot of ways is about the defenses

746
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: that they've played and the defense that they did play

747
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: that was much better. They only scored seventeen points. Now

748
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: they're entering a game. How much do you where that's

749
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: the same case. How much do you think that that

750
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: may be what plays out here? It'll start first with you.

751
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: And that's a good point. I mean, the Rams obviously

752
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: have one or two really good players. You know, and

753
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: I've made this point. You know that the Cowboys every

754
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: game they face, they face somebody on the other side

755
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: of the ball that's that you arguably the best at

756
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 1: their position, and every game that they've faced, and the

757
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: Rams defense had two of them in the Ramsey and

758
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald. The Cowboys don't really have that unless you

759
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 1: say the best guard. But guards aren't game changing really.

760
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 1: But I think I think you make it a good point,

761
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: but I don't I don't think. I think it's still

762
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 1: early in the season. I think sample size is still

763
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 1: low for that for rankings. I don't see that the

764
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 1: Giants are going to be a team that the Cowboys

765
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: can't move the ball, and I bet you the Cowboys

766
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,320
Speaker 1: will will hurt the Giants ranking this week. You know

767
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: the interesting part about that, before I get to David Amber,

768
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: is if you look at that game last week the

769
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: Giants and the Rams played, it was, in my my opinion,

770
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 1: somewhat similar to what you saw Cowboys Rams, And that's

771
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: what started making me think maybe that's a little bit

772
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 1: more of what you can expect this weekend. Now. I

773
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys offense is superior than to the Giants offense,

774
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: but I do think it's a similar kind of matchup

775
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: where you might see something a little bit different. Let's

776
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 1: go to you Amber, what do you think. I hope

777
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: that's not right as far as I mean, I know

778
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: the statistics are statics is, but like Nick said, I

779
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: hope that we're not just creating this vision of what

780
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,919
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense might be based on this first month

781
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: of the game, because then that's basically you're basically telling

782
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 1: me that this offense might be worse than what we thought.

783
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: Because if they're they faced worst defenses passing defenses, why

784
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,399
Speaker 1: has it taken them so long to get the ball

785
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: moving and start connecting. Why until the last quarter of

786
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: the game base to start moving everything. So I would

787
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 1: hope that that's not fully the case, and that there's

788
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: a lot more. And I know the game cannot purely

789
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:15,399
Speaker 1: be judged based on statistics, but if that's the case,

790
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: then crap. You made me more concerned. Now, you know,

791
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: I will throw this out though, amber early in the games,

792
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: that's typically when the turnovers have been happening. So I

793
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: do think that's a part of it why this offense

794
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: has not gotten off some of those faster starts that

795
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: you want them to get off too. But but again

796
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: I still think that you know, you look at this

797
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: offense overall, they have not played great defenses except for

798
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: one or and that's not even a great defense. That's

799
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: a good defense. We'll get to see this weekend. Dave,

800
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: what do you think? I respect the question, but respectfully,

801
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,399
Speaker 1: I don't give a damn about this sample size. It's

802
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: four games game one. Game one was against Ben Roethlisberger,

803
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 1: who was coming off a full year layoff when he

804
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: had surgery on his arm. Game two was I believe

805
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: True Bisky, which we know how that's going for him.

806
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: The week three was Nick Nick Mullins, who threw for

807
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: three fifty by the way, and then uh yeah, and

808
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: then last week, you know, Jared Goff, Yeah, he had

809
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: a pedestrian day. So what, I don't care. I think

810
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: Dak will be fine. If Dak's not fine, it's because

811
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: they can't keep him clean. Like, if they can keep

812
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: him relatively clean three sacks or less, he'll be absolutely fine.

813
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about it at all, to the tune of,

814
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: do you think it'll be closer to what we've seen

815
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 1: the final three games to weeks two, three, and four? Oh,

816
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: just a week hopefully hopefully not like you should You

817
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: should not be throwing for four hundred yards unless you're

818
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: trying to dig yourself out of a hole or it's

819
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: just like an all time shootout like the Romo game. Um,

820
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: I mean, hopefully hopefully it's not like that. But I mean, yeah,

821
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: he'll somewhere between two seventy five and three three thirty

822
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: something like. That's funny how he's, you know, statistically the

823
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: best in the in the NFL right now and he

824
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: doesn't have a three hundred yard passing game after four games, yeah,

825
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: the two, but he doesn't have a three, you know,

826
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: which has always been like the standard of that. But

827
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I think the Cowboys offense, even though

828
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: it's four games, I think they figured things out way

829
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: better than the Rams game. I mean, I think that

830
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: they they've understood how this offense works. They understand what

831
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: CD's able to do. The understanding of the tight end

832
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: can help him. You know. You know, Jarwin got hurt

833
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: in that game and Schultz was trying to figure his

834
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: way out. Schultz is showing, you know, to be a

835
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: little bit better or a lot better since then. So

836
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: I just think that the offense has has really developed,

837
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: and it's had to because they've been on the field

838
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: for so long. But I think that they're a different

839
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: offense than they were playing against the Rams. All right,

840
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: let's flip over and I want to talk a little

841
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: bit about special teams here. Earlier this week, John Fossil

842
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: had a comment about Tony Pollard. Last week, he had

843
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: another misqe um, if you want to call it, that

844
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 1: there was a ball he thought was going to come

845
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: to the end zone. He was gonna, you know, basically

846
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: just kind of fair catch it. But um, he let

847
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: it go and it actually bounces in the field of

848
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 1: play and he got to run and go grab it

849
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: and try to return it. And Fossil's comment was he

850
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 1: misread it. It's unfortunate because it was it was the

851
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: ball that we were looking for with the return that

852
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: we called. We were aware that can't happen. Um. He's

853
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: had some other miscues this season, particularly in kick return situations.

854
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: Do you think it's time for the Cowboys to look

855
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: at a different option for their kick returner Nick oh

856
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: a different option for him Lasik? Seriously, he dropped that

857
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,919
Speaker 1: ball against Seattle. He dropped that ball in the game.

858
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: That was a big play. And that and that Um

859
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: in the game last week. You know, he had wide

860
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: open space and dacked through the ball in the flat

861
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 1: and then of course he missed. How do he misread

862
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: that that ball like that? I mean, honestly, I'm not

863
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: trying to Joe Crown, but it could be it could

864
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: be a situation for that, like maybe he needs to

865
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: get his eyes checked. And I'm not I think he's

866
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: I think he's a good young player. I think he's

867
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: going to be good. But I mean these are three

868
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: like elementary style plays that he hasn't made, and maybe

869
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: that is an issue. I mean because if you if

870
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: you look at the ball and the kickoff and you

871
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: think it's going to go into the end zone and

872
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 1: it stops at like the eight, that's a pretty big

873
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 1: difference of not being able to judge the ball amber.

874
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be ignorant here, but whatever, I'm

875
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: still gonna ask the question, why is it so hard

876
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: to find a kick returner that can actually do well?

877
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: Like the Cowboys? This has been an area where the

878
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys have been struggling for several years. Why is it

879
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: so complicated to find someone that can freaking make it work?

880
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: And I'm being serious, I don't understand. It's especially frustrating

881
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: because kick returns are almost obsolete, Like they don't they're

882
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: not really a big factor in the modern NFL. So

883
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 1: the fact that you can't figure out how to make

884
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,040
Speaker 1: it work better than they have, it's it's unbelievable. And

885
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: I don't know not to jump in on ag, but yes,

886
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: I would give the job to Cedric Wilson. I love

887
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, but I mean you're talking about like dozens

888
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: and dozens of yards of field position that you've compromised.

889
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: It gets lost because last week was such a dumpster fire.

890
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: But Cedric made such a great play on that one

891
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: punt that bounced and he snatched it right off the bounce.

892
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 1: He got six yards and got out of bounds, Like

893
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: that's the epitome of hidden yardage. As soon as he

894
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 1: made that play, I was like, give him the kick

895
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: returner job, like, I trust his hands, I trust him

896
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 1: to make it work. Like Cedric Wilson would be a

897
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: okay with me. Yeah, that's a various dew point. I

898
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: thought the same thing during the game, that that was

899
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: a good that's understanding and having awareness on special teams

900
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 1: as a return, which I don't know that they necessarily

901
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 1: have with po He did the same thing later, but

902
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: then he kind of went backwards. Yeah, you know, Dave

903
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: makes a good point. Now we gotta make picks here,

904
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,280
Speaker 1: but they makes a good point about usually the kick

905
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: return is a part of the game that's been lost.

906
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 1: I wonder after the Patriots game of what happened last

907
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: year and seeing all the kickoffs and Tony Poler was

908
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: a big part of that that maybe teams aren't deciding,

909
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: you know what, let's do that pooch kick that goes

910
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: to the five yard line or whatever, and let's try

911
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: to pen them down there. Hey, you can you know,

912
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: maybe Poler doesn't make the right decision be they can

913
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: have a block in the back. There's forty percent of

914
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 1: all kickoff returns have blocks in the back, and so

915
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 1: you could be starting at the seven or eight yard line.

916
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: So I think the teams are maybe going and purposely

917
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: doing that, not just giving Dak the ball to twenty five.

918
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 1: Let's kick this thing up. We don't think Pauler will

919
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 1: go to the house. We think there's a better shot

920
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: they'll start inside their ten. And that's happening. And this

921
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: will be the week when Tony Poler takes it to

922
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: the house bad. It'll be how it goes. Hey, Rico Dowlind,

923
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: I like Cedric Wilson, but what about Rico Dabble. It's

924
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: a running back. He's a big you know, he's kind

925
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: of a thick guy. I mean, i'd like to see him.

926
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 1: I'd like to see running backs in that because they

927
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: have the vision for the holes and stuff like that.

928
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: But somebody, I think it's time to make a change.

929
00:47:58,040 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: That I really do. All right, let's going to get

930
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 1: a some picks here before we end the show. And

931
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna start with you today. Tell us what's going

932
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: to happen is game final score? Well, if the Cowboys

933
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: were playing another opponent, I would pick the other opponent

934
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: because the Cowboys don't deserve my trust right now and

935
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: in my faith, in my happiness. But because it is

936
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 1: the Giants, I don't the Giants that even even worse.

937
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: So I think the Cowboys do find a way to win.

938
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: I do think that their numbers statistically, as far as

939
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: the passing game is not gonna look as good as

940
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: we've been seeing in the past few games. I think

941
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys, regardless of the old line issues, I

942
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,359
Speaker 1: think the running game is gonna be able to get

943
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: kick in this time and get going. So Zeke, I

944
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 1: do see him having a better game in the Cowboys.

945
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 1: It's just gonna come down to which team scores the

946
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,879
Speaker 1: most points. It's gonna be a game between offense, which

947
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 1: offense can score the most and that's for sure in

948
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: my mind right now, can be the Cowboys. And final score.

949
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: I think it might be like twenty fourteen, something like,

950
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:16,439
Speaker 1: all right, Dave, the Giants are terrible, but like we're

951
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 1: not talking about you know, they're not that I don't

952
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: think they're like oh and sixteen terrible, Like they're not

953
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 1: like a wheel's off dumpster fire. I think there are

954
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: respect respectable kind of terrible. They've I mean they've been

955
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: in every game that they've played. You know, the forty

956
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: nine ers blew them out on the scoreboard, but that

957
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 1: game was close until midway through the you know, early

958
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, midway through the third. So I just I

959
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 1: expect to hate this game. I expect this to be

960
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 1: a very fresh I mean, the Cowboys are going to

961
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: continue to be sloppy in my opinion, until they get

962
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: some of these injuries taken care of. Um. But the Giants,

963
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the Giants offense can't keep up with them.

964
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: I don't think that's not realistic. But I see, you know,

965
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: I see Dad getting sacked a couple times, installing some drives.

966
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: Maybe they have to settle for some field goals that

967
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: they don't want to. So I think it's gonna be frustrating.

968
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 1: But I'm thinking like a thirty and thirty to twenty

969
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: one win that just nobody feels happy about. All right, No,

970
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 1: I disagree with that. With both those picks, I think

971
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will will blow them out. I think my

972
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 1: prediction is that I'll get three text messages from people

973
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 1: that say, why can't they just do this every game,

974
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 1: which their answer is that the Giants aren't on the

975
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 1: schedule every week. I don't. I think the offense is

976
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 1: clicking to the point where they are going to be

977
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 1: too strong for the Giants to keep up with. Defensively,

978
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: of course, offense will be trying it'll make the Cowboys

979
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: defense look as good as it's been, which isn't really

980
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: that hard to do, you know. I just think the

981
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys win this one handily. I think they win by

982
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: twenty one. I'm gonna say thirty four thirteen, all right.

983
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: I actually I'm a little torn on this game, just

984
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: because the more I think about it, the more i'm

985
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: the more I think that this Giant's defense is a

986
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: little bit better than everybody's given them credit for. I think,

987
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: and I do think the way that the style of

988
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: play off way that they will try to play the

989
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys will make it to where the Cowboys don't have

990
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: an opportunity to just go all in. I don't think,

991
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: you know, if Cowboys are in a closer game, they're

992
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: probably not putting up all the yards and the points

993
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: that they've put up in these other weeks either, and

994
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: so I think it's going to be a game that's

995
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: more similar to what we saw the Week one. I

996
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: do think the Cowboys win, though, and I think the

997
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: Cowboys are the better team, so I think they'll get

998
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 1: some I think they'll get more point production than what

999
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:36,919
Speaker 1: they got against the Rams, but I still think it'll

1000
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 1: be a relatively lower scoring game compared to the games

1001
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: that they've played in weeks two, three, and four. I

1002
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:43,840
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys get the win, but I think it

1003
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: is a twenty four to sixteen win. That is that's

1004
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: actually pretty non eventful, if that's a good way to

1005
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: put it. After you've been through all these other weeks

1006
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 1: of these big, high flying plays. I think it's gonna

1007
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 1: feel more like that Week one game where it just

1008
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 1: kind of plots along. Cowboys will do some things well,

1009
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: they'll do some things not so well. The Giants will

1010
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 1: play a little bit better offensively than they've played in

1011
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: the past because this Cowboys defense will give them opportunities

1012
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: to do that. And again, I think Cowboys went twenty

1013
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: four sixteen. All right, we appreciate you join us. We're
