Speaker 2: That means you have to come here more than a

8
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 2: couple of times. It's so busy flying around all the time.

9
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: I swear you could still play football if you wanted to, Like,

10
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: if you really wanted to, you could.

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 4: There is no way, and you would talk so much

12
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 4: trash about me if I got on that field.

13
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,680

Speaker 2: No, No, the Saints that they have on this team now,

16
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: it would maybe be tough. But back in the day,

17
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: like even four or five years.

18
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a time I could keep up with

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: these young boys.

20
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,120

22
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,720

00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 3: Look.

26
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 4: Every player within the Cowboys organization circled this week when

27
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 4: the schedules came out and it used to be the

28
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 4: same way.

29
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: It was the same way with us back in the day.

30
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 4: Sometimes you overlook other games thinking, Okay, those are winnable games.

31
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 3: And I'm telling you, you get.

32
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 4: The schedule, you look at it and you look at

33
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 4: every game and go, that's a winnable game. That's winnable. Ooh,

34
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 4: that one's gonna be tough. That's gonna be a tight one.

35
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 4: And there's gonna be a ton of notoriety around this

36
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: big game and it's a makeup game for the Cowboys.

37
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: So to get back there, did you guys have some

38
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: Arizona games back in the day.

39
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Absolutely. I can't remember what week it was. In

40
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: ninety two was the Super Bowl championship year.

41
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 4: I think we went thirteen and three that year and

42
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 4: the Rams came in town and they were terrible and

43
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 4: I can't tell you how bad I mean that game was.

44
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 4: It was a close game, but the unexpected was they stated,

45
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 4: you know, they kept on the ball, just kept rolling

46
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 4: their way for four straight quarters and they end up

47
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 4: winning that game, man, And it was it was a

48
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 4: tough one.

49
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 3: It was a tough loss.

50
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: With my dad got me tickets to that game. It's

51
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: like YESU Rams and then a guy named Cleveland.

52
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 3: Gary Gary Cleveland, dude had a day.

53
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: Because but but yeah, that was in every Super Bowl

54
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: year kind of had that had a game like that

55
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: now most time later in the year. But all right,

56
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 2: when we got you for a few minutes, callers that

57
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: they love talking to you. So we're gonna go ride

Speaker 5: say thank you to Nick because you were the voice

65
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 5: of reason last week. I was down on my Cowboys,

66
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 5: you know, and you describe how the emotional roller coaster

67
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 5: of being a Cowboys fan, right, That's exactly what you said,

68
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 5: and you know, put everything in perspective for me, you know.

69
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 5: You know I have the tattoo on my arm, you know,

70
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 5: and that's why I love my team. And I just

71
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 5: wanted to say thank you for for you know, putting

72
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 5: me in my place and making me you know.

73
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Albert, I'm sorry, all.

74
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 5: Right, Yes I do, mister Woodson. I had a front roll.

75
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,119
Speaker 5: See I actually grew up in Tucson, so not part

76
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 5: from Arizona State, you know, the city before. Who was

77
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 5: your favorite team to play and did you you know,

78
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 5: game plan in your head just think, all right, you

79
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 5: know I'm gonna I'm gonna face this team and I'm

80
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 5: gonna stand out. So thank you very much, Go Cowboys.

81
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: Thank you.

82
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's good question, Albert I would say this week,

83
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 4: I would say the forty nine ers because we had

84
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: listening to ninety two, ninety.

85
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: Three and that the early nineties. They were they were

86
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 3: our match. They were the.

87
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 4: Ones that we evenly matched up with, and they had

88
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 4: some big time players Steve Youngs and Jerry Rice's you know,

89
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 4: just you know, and he had a strong defense on

90
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 4: the other side as well. Ken Norton ended up be

91
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 4: coming over there in ninety three. But it was an

92
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 4: evenly matched game and it was that that game that

93
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 4: you knew was gonna go down.

94
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 3: The fourth quarter.

95
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, we were watching them the entire season on how

96
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 4: they were, how they were looking, even though they were

97
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 4: in the NFC West and we were doing our thing

98
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 4: in the NFC East. But you knew it was going

99
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 4: to come that hit to hit battle, and that's the

100
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 4: game that you better be on point.

101
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 3: You better be on point, you better.

102
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 4: Have the right mentality going in there, and it's gonna

103
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 4: be a slug fest.

104
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: You know, this is forty nine ers cowboys, like like

105
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: you said, I this is this is a big battle.

106
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 2: It also reminds me a little bit of of Philly

107
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: Philadelphia early when you got there ninety two. Yeah, it

108
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: was almost like you had to get over that hump mentally.

109
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 2: And I kind of wonder if this team thinks that

110
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: way about the forty nine ers, like you have to

111
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: get over the hump about the team that's not you.

112
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and it's and it's again, it's not just last

113
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 4: year was the you know the year before as well.

114
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 3: I mean, this is forty nine has been a thorn

115
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: on this team's side.

116
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: And you can't tell me a guy like Dak Prescott,

117
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 4: who's seen this defense multiple times is not thinking, Hey,

118
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 4: I gotta get over the hump here and they are.

119
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 3: Listen, there's three teams.

120
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 4: I look at this this the NFC, and I think

121
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 4: there's three teams that I can just firmly look at

122
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 4: right now and say, Okay, this is going to be

123
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 4: a game. Philly's going to be a game. San fran

124
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 4: is going to be a definite game. And then and

125
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 4: the Cowboys are a team that that matches up with

126
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 4: everybody across the league.

127
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 2: As well, those three teams, and they have been really

128
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: for the last couple of years. All right, Speaking of Pennsylvania,

129
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna go to the call here, Jack in Pennsylvania,

130
00:05:58,880 --> 00:05:59,680

00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: if you want to answer that, then I'm nick I

161
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: have a question for you for the offense, and then Darren,

162
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: if you want to answer the question.

163
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 8: For the defense, Oka, that would be go for it.

164
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 6: Great.

165
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 8: So offensively, I know we struggled to run the ball

166
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 8: against San Francisco in the playoff game. I know a

167
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 8: lot of that had to do with Hollard, you know,

168
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 8: having that terrible injury. But so I wanted to know, like,

169
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 8: from your point of view, are some ways we can

170
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 8: scheme some things to run the ball more effectively open.

171
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: Things up for dak On that side of thing right.

172
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 8: And defensively, like they have speed on offense, like San

173
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 8: Francisco has Debo, they have Ayu, they have McCaffrey. So, Darren, like,

174
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 8: what are some things we can do maybe with like

175
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 8: j Ron curse and specifically scheming him, whether it's maybe

176
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 8: him just following Debo wherever he goes, or following Ayu

177
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 8: wherever he goes, or just helping guys out. And one

178
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,239
Speaker 8: last thing yesterday, Uh, you asked who the most underrated

179
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 8: Cowboy player is? Uh huh, And my answer to that

180
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 8: right now, he's on the team. Right now. I love

181
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 8: Van Rush and I think he gets a lot of

182
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 8: hate that's unwarranted.

183
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: All right.

184
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 8: I really think he makes the defense go and he's

185
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 8: really the quarterback for the defense because there's a very

186
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 8: noticeable difference in that defense when he's not in the lineup.

187
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: But I'll hang up, all right, thanks, thanks.

188
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 8: For taking my call.

189
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: Thank you Cowboys, Thank you Jack. All right, let's go

190
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: to your defense question. What are some of the things

191
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: they can do to stop?

192
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 3: Jack just asked a ton of question.

193
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 4: Look, I would say, look, defensively, you got to start

194
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 4: with Christian McCaffery.

195
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: You have to stop the run. Yeah, and that's so

196
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 3: that's the whole thing.

197
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 4: When you when you look at film and you start

198
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 4: putting the game plan. You can't let the forty nine

199
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 4: ers get you in third and third and three, third

200
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 4: and two consistently.

201
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 3: So what does that do?

202
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 4: You have to stop McCaffrey not only inn running game,

203
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 4: but the quick screen game you've made. Make sure he

204
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 4: doesn't become the deciding factor. Deebo is gonna make get

205
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 4: some plays? Are you gonna make some plays for you

206
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 4: as well? It's late on those, but there's gonna be

207
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 4: some guys that they're gonna have matchup problems with. But

208
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 4: McCaffrey cannot be the guy that consistently beats you. I'm

209
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 4: putting it on the quarterback. Make the quarterback beat you

210
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 4: in this game.

211
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: Do you know who's leading the NFL in yards on

212
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 2: first down?

213
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 3: That would be Christian McCaffrey.

214
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, seven point one yard.

215
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I can see that it's.

216
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 2: Not just thirty three. It sounds like it's second three

217
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: a lot of the time. So yeah, all right, let's

218
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 2: go to Travis in San Antonio. Travis, you're the next caller.

219
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 3: How you doing, Nick?

220
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: How you doing? You're on with Darren Woodson as well.

221
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 9: Awesome. Well, I just had a couple of things. I

222
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 9: watched Talking Cowboys yesterday and Isaiah was talking about the

223
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 9: last two meetings we've been physically outplayed, and I don't

224
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 9: I didn't really remember that from the last game. So

225
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 9: I went back and watched the whole game. Unfortunately, but

226
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 9: I went home, I wouldn't watch it, and I don't

227
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 9: feel like the first game when they came to Dallas,

228
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 9: we definitely got outplayed physically, but I went and watched,

229
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 9: and I don't feel like that second game in San France,

230
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 9: we got physically outplayed. I mean we had Rock thirty

231
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 9: with happy feet, he was forcing throws, he was he

232
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 9: was also you know, throwing stuff out of bounds, and

233
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 9: so I don't really feel like the second game we

234
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 9: got outplayed is physically at least, so I'm not worried

235
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 9: about that. And then I also I listened to a

236
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 9: shot He's presser yesterday and he was talking about they

237
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 9: do a a checkdown drill and practice like every day

238
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 9: and Mike with hard to gives that kind of a

239
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 9: code word to make sure he knows where his checkdowns are.

240
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 9: And I went back and watched the game just just

241
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 9: because I was already watching it. I went back and

242
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 9: looked the two picks he had, and the first pick

243
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 9: he had it was like a fifteen yard come back

244
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 9: to Gallup where he didn't come back on it, but

245
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 9: he had Zeke wide open the flat. They had a

246
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 9: six man rush in five coverage. Nobody was guarding Zeke

247
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 9: and it would have been Lenora trying to hit him

248
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 9: from a seven yard head start. So and it was

249
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 9: third and nine. So that's kind of like one of

250
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 9: those plays where you look at it and you go,

251
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 9: I know he was trying to make a play on

252
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 9: third and nine, but if you take that checkdown, I'll

253
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 9: take Zeke against or a running back against the cornerbacks

254
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 9: to get third and nine, and if not, you're punning.

255
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 4: It.

256
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 9: Just played towards that defense. So I think this week

257
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 9: the key to it. I'm glad that Dak is kind

258
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 9: of pissed off. I don't mind that, but I do

259
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 9: want him to this week more than any other week,

260
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 9: remember where his checkdowns are and just take what Sam

261
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 9: Frank gives you and play to the defense. And it's great.

262
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 9: It's an honor to be out with Darren and I

263
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 9: just want to see what you guys think a great weekend.

264
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 2: These guys are watching, These guys are focused. I mean,

265
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: like you know, I know, if if I was a

266
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: fan and I had a chance to talk to a

267
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame safety, because I'm just gonna call you that,

268
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 2: I would ask a question if Darren Woodson. But but

269
00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 2: these these guys are focused on.

270
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, what they are man, and that's you know, that's

271
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 4: a great analysis as fower as you know, you know,

272
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 4: given you know, Dak taking what the defense is given

273
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 4: them the dump offs or if they're there, take those

274
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 4: dump offs. Don't try to stretch it and force the

275
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 4: ball in because you still have a defense behind. You know,

276
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to play field position in this game

277
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 4: as well. It's just not a game that they're just

278
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 4: gonna run down, you know, just move the ball down

279
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 4: the field. They're gonna have some some lasses. You gotta

280
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 4: give Sam France some credit. Bosa is gonna be coming

281
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 4: off the edge. They've got some guys on defense they're

282
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 4: gonna make their that are gonna make plays. But you

283
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 4: have to be able to play all three phases to

284
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 4: win this football game. And and defensively again, to me,

285
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 4: it takes you back to the basics. Right, if the

286
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 4: balls out in the flat, mcaffrey's out there, you gotta

287
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 4: get them on the ground. The corner's got to tackle,

288
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 4: the linebackers got to tackle in space. Like it's the

289
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 4: most basic things that you could do or what's gonna

290
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 4: help help you win that game. Because these two teams are,

291
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 4: like we said earlier, they're evenly matched teams. So it's

292
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 4: going to be, you know, a lot about field position

293
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 4: in this game.

294
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: You got guys that just want to go get the quarterback. Yeah,

295
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: you know, obviously it starts with Micah. So the screen

296
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 2: game seems like it could be really, how do you

297
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 2: as a defensive player, how do you have that aggressiveness

298
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: to go get the ball? But also the.

299
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 4: Discipline understanding situations, understanding situation And this is where film

300
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 4: watching comes in hand, because you know, if you can

301
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 4: really get the tempo and a really good grasp of

302
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 4: when they like to run screens, maybe it's second and ten,

303
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 4: or maybe it's when they're backed up first and you

304
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 4: know they get a penalty and it's first and fifteen.

305
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 4: When you can figure that out, and then knowing to

306
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 4: count the quarterback's catence as well. Right, there's there's a

307
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 4: lot of little nuances that you can pick up in

308
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 4: watching what they do and what they did last year

309
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 4: and what they're doing this this season to pick up

310
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 4: on things. But it's going to be again, the game

311
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 4: is so evenly mashed. I can remember, and I can

312
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 4: take you back. I can remember playing San Francisco and

313
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 4: we used to order in pizza during the playoffs and

314
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 4: watch film as an entire defense up until nine o'clock,

315
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 4: ten o'clock at night.

316
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 3: These are Super Bowl championship teams, right, so we kind of.

317
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 4: Knew what we were getting on on Sunday when the

318
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 4: game time came.

319
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 2: Up, just of the week of the forty week.

320
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 4: Not only I'm not talking about I'm talking about in

321
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 4: the playoffs altogether. In the playoffs during the regular season, now,

322
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 4: you know, we we picked things up, and we figure

323
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 4: things out as far as work, you know, watching some

324
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 4: extra film. But it's in these big games when you

325
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 4: know that these two teams are going to be the

326
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 4: playoff teams and you've got to figure out the little

327
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 4: nuances about each other. And it's and it's the film

328
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 4: work leading up to that game that really sets, the

329
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 4: sets the pace.

330
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: Who pays for that pizza?

331
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 3: The defensive player that makes the most money. I'm seriously

332
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 3: really there. Oh yeah, absolutely whoever that is.

333
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 4: Early on, no, I was like, but the Ken Norton's

334
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 4: of the world, man, there are certain guys that absolutely.

335
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely eating pizza.

336
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, pizza, trust men.

337
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of you're gonna go to Arizona State and

338
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: this this week, this week, this week, Arizona. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

339
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: that's gonna be That's gonna be a game. State I

340
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: think is playing better we watch the game.

341
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 4: I'm not how much because I know when I see

342
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 4: Dion he's gonna talk a little trash on the on

343
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 4: the our field, of course, So I gotta you know,

344
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 4: be ready.

345
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: That's awesome. Can't wait to see the picks from that all.

346
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: Right back to the Throne line a few more minutes

347
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 2: from with Darren here Curtis and Oklahoma, Curtis, what's up?

348
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: You got it through?

349
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 10: Hey, good morning man, good morning. So glad to have

350
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 10: Darren on the show. That's such an honor for us

351
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 10: to get to have access to him and call in

352
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 10: and hear what he's got to say. So I appreciate that.

353
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 10: I'm just I'm so excited for this matchup. You know,

354
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 10: as Dak Prescott would say.

355
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 5: Here we go.

356
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right.

357
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 10: And you know I've called in, I've said it before

358
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 10: about this being an opportunity to help you in the

359
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 10: postseason as far as positioning. You know San Francisco probably

360
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 10: won't get a ton of losses, so you know you

361
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 10: could hopefully maybe get somebody to beat them up or

362
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 10: possibly beat them in the postseason, try to get home

363
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 10: field advantage. But with that being said, man, I think

364
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 10: you if Tyron Smith is not one hundred percent, I

365
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 10: think you said him. I think it's more important to

366
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 10: have him in the Philly games and down the stretch

367
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 10: and in the playoffs. So if he's got anything you

368
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 10: know that he needs to sit for, just go ahead

369
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 10: and sit him. Trust in adoga, just roll the dice

370
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 10: with that. I think you've said before like something of

371
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 10: our team has to be elite, you know, to get

372
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 10: where we want to go. And this week it's got

373
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 10: to be the pass rush. I was watching some of

374
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 10: the Rock Purty play a little bit, and he's had

375
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 10: four fumbles this year, so I think that's about one

376
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 10: a game, and I've seen a couple of times where

377
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 10: he threw the ball and kind of like just turns

378
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 10: away as he's throwing, and unfortunately one of them was

379
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 10: for you know, a dime touchdown. So it's not necessarily that,

380
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 10: but I don't think he's faced you know, a pass

381
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 10: rush kind of like we got. So that's all I got, man.

382
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 10: I'll let you guys get back to other callers and

383
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 10: stuff like that. I appreciate it. You guys have a

384
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 10: great day.

385
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 2: Thank you, Curtis. I will say this, I think he's

386
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 2: recovering those fumbles, or at least most of them, because

387
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 2: I think they only have one turnover and games right now.

388
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, to take care of their taking care of the football.

389
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 4: But man, but you know, you kind of know what

390
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 4: you're getting with a Kyle Sanahan team, right.

391
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 3: They like a lot of the play action. They'll sty'll

392
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 3: screen you here and there.

393
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 4: Uh, they'll take their shots when they get inside you

394
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 4: know between the forties.

395
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of little.

396
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 4: Things, the little anss that that you can kind of

397
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 4: pick up on with with Shanahan. But what they don't

398
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 4: do a lot is they don't turn the ball over. Now,

399
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 4: I mean, they know where that party's gonna know where

400
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 4: he wants to go with the football.

401
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: It's amazing what he's done and just a still a

402
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,239
Speaker 2: young player. I mean, that's just perfect for their for

403
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 2: their system. All right, let's go to another caller here,

404
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: Don and san Antonio. Don, you're on with Darren Woodson.

405
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 6: Whatdy buddy?

406
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 3: Hey Don.

407
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 6: I was so sad when you're on the first time

408
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 6: and I couldn't get through to say how important you

409
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 6: are to me and the Cowboys.

410
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 3: Thank you.

411
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 6: I called the show second day. Don Nick, your show

412
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 6: keeps growing. You're smooth.

413
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 3: Thank you.

414
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 6: You've got or got over those jitters you had started.

415
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was hot. Maybe it was just hot out

416
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 2: there in Auxtinnard. I don't know.

417
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 6: No, Well, I'm talking about when you were in the

418
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 6: studio first started taking calls.

419
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably, I feel I feel it feels better.

420
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 3: But slowed down.

421
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, game has slowed down, you know, as Parcel says,

422
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 2: knowledge is confidence confidence Let you play fast. So I

423
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,959
Speaker 2: was a little too giterating. I don't know. It might

424
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 2: have been those drinks I've been drinking.

425
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 3: What's up? What do you got?

426
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 6: Well, A couple of things. Number One, I have all

427
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 6: the tops in the world and the Cowboys. I think

428
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 6: it's going to be a great year. I agreed with

429
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 6: Nate when I heard him yesterday say that this isn't

430
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,959
Speaker 6: a test, it's a challenge. I didn't think of it

431
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 6: that way till he said it. But I agree one

432
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 6: hundred percent. The question I have is as a fan

433
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 6: twenty six years ago, I went to the Hall of

434
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 6: Fame by my son, he was twelve at the time,

435
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 6: and going through there. If our Cowboys were the Steelers

436
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 6: or the Bears or the Giants, we would have so

437
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 6: many more people in the Hall. What can we do

438
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 6: as fans to get Woody in there, to get Nate

439
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 6: in there, to get Everson in there, the people that

440
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 6: are being slided.

441
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's the problem is there's just not

442
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,959
Speaker 2: thanks done. I mean, there's not something the fans can do.

443
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 2: I mean, you know you know this more than anything.

444
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 2: You've been really close to the process. I mean, it's

445
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 2: not a fans thing. It's a Hall of Fame voting committee.

446
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 2: And I'll say this. I know you can't say this.

447
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 2: I'll say this. I think it needs to change, I

448
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 2: really do. I think they need to get more people involved.

449
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: The baseball I think has eight hundred voters and I

450
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 2: think the NFL has like forty or fifty. I think

451
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 2: it needs to change. I think they need to have

452
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: more players involved in the voting process. The players know

453
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 2: who a Hall of famers are, and so it just

454
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 2: seems like it's a bias. You got these guys that

455
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,479
Speaker 2: have to stand up in front of these people, and

456
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't love the process, but I

457
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: don't think anything fans can do.

458
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 3: I'll accuse myself from that.

459
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and that's saying I think. I think

460
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 2: the way it's going, though, I will say this the

461
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 2: trend there are safeties that have been getting in. Yeah,

462
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 2: they're they're getting in, and I think it's an order.

463
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 2: Charles Haley had to deal with this with pass rushers

464
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: put it like four or five years he got in. Yeah,

465
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 2: and I think I think you're going to get in

466
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: as well.

467
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think so.

468
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 4: I think it's at some point, and you just said it, Nick,

469
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 4: I think they finally recognize that the safety position was

470
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 4: an important position, and over time that you start to

471
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 4: see guys go in. But again, you know, there's not

472
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 4: much the fans can do, man, And I guess got

473
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 4: to wait it out and figure out, hey, if it's my.

474
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 2: Time, and yeah, well and there's other things too. When

475
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 2: people say, well, you know, he's got to get on TV,

476
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 2: got to be got to be visible, got to show

477
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 2: that you're you know, like TV, you did thirteen years

478
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 2: of that. You got to be a good guy. There's

479
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 2: not a better person in the locker room. So no,

480
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 2: I don't think that's the case. I think it's the

481
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 2: safety position. And I think people are starting to realize

482
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 2: how important it was, because there's guys in the Hall

483
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: of Fame right now that at safety that I don't

484
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 2: think they were. They were as good as you.

485
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 3: You know that I don't.

486
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 2: You're not going to say that that's what makes him

487
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 2: so good? All right, we got to get him out

488
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 2: of here. Do you want one more caller?

489
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 3: You got?

490
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 7: All right?

491
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: We got a guy Ronnie in New Jersey. Ronnie, you're on

492
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 2: with Darren Woodson. You made it through. What's up?

493
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 3: Ronnie?

494
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 11: Good morning? Make good morning back? And I want to

495
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 11: say I agree, Darren is a Hall of Famer, whether

496
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 11: he's in it or not. Hopefully this is the year

497
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 11: that he gets in, because to me, I seem it

498
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 11: seems like there's bias towards Cowboys players that were great

499
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 11: in the nineties because we had so many great players. Uh,

500
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 11: Steelers had a bunch of great players in their era,

501
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 11: and they all seem to got in. They have gotten in.

502
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 11: I don't know what's going on.

503
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 12: With the Cowboys.

504
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,479
Speaker 11: So that's great question for Darren. I don't know how

505
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 11: much he's watching the games or this season or not,

506
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 11: but it seems like our defense, our defense this year

507
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 11: looks a lot like the defense we had back in

508
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 11: the nineties. I don't know if we get grease with

509
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 11: that or not. But as in mentally tough guys, we

510
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 11: were bullies in the nineties, we became bullies in the nineties.

511
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 11: It seems to San Francisco as the bullies these past

512
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 11: few years. Who in our offense, in our offense needs

513
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 11: to become that mentally tough and just guys that are

514
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 11: bullies like we had Eric Williams for for Eric Williams

515
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 11: back in the day, and a couple of guys on

516
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 11: the offensive line.

517
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 7: Who do you has.

518
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 11: To step up and be that type of player for

519
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 11: us on offense because we have them on defense.

520
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you great question.

521
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 2: That's really great.

522
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 4: So you had a lot of guys on the office

523
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 4: side of the ball that were just bullies.

524
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 7: Man.

525
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 3: I know Eric Williams is one that was, you know,

526
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 3: known just nasty all the time. But you know, Nate

527
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 3: was a dog man.

528
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 4: He was a road grater and didn't back down from anyone,

529
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 4: would talk trash the entire game. And then you had

530
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 4: step who was perennial pro bowler and Mark Twena who

531
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 4: you know, fight anybody in Gogan coming off the bench

532
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 4: and were just there were a lot of guys that

533
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 4: just were tough, hard nosed players. And I think this

534
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 4: is kind of the mentality that I see on this

535
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 4: defensive side of the ball, Like you have some dogs on.

536
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 3: This defense man you really do.

537
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 4: Like Curse, I'm watching him on the sideline. He's going

538
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 4: he's going hard on people. And then you have you know,

539
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 4: Doron Bland who's just a player just and of course

540
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 4: Micah and you know d Lawman. They have some guys

541
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 4: that have attitudes that I that.

542
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 3: I really like.

543
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 4: Offensively, I don't want my quarterback to be that guy. No,

544
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 4: he don't need to be that guy, right, I want

545
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 4: him to play within himself, but play with confidence, you know,

546
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 4: dish the ball out be a leader. That's what I

547
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 4: want in Dak. But then on that offensive front, of course,

548
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 4: you know you got guys that you know, I'd love

549
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 4: to see a lot more tiring, to have a little attitude,

550
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 4: pushing guys.

551
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 3: Around a little bit more.

552
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 4: But you know, I like what I see as a

553
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 4: as a whole, holistically, as a team. This is a

554
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 4: different year, this is a different team. I think their

555
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 4: mindset is there. I think they're extremely confident in who

556
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 4: they are and I'm getting looked man. I think this

557
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 4: is gonna be a great matchup. I don't think that

558
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 4: San Francis is gonna go out.

559
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 3: There and bullyball them. Now, that's not happening, not with

560
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: this team.

561
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 4: This team's gonna do. If there's gonna be any bullying,

562
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 4: this team's gonna be the bully.

563
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 2: There's the other day a guy hit somebody out of bounds.

564
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 2: It was one of those NFL games. They hit him

565
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 2: out of bounds.

566
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 3: Lay, I do it too?

567
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 2: Do that do that to Dak and uh watch Tyler

568
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 2: Smith and Terrence Steele, nice guys in the locker room.

569
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 2: They will fight out there. I guarantee those two guys

570
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 2: and Zach Martin the same I mean, I'm not saying

571
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 2: hold up, hold up, Bey honest fought more people than

572
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 2: anybody's training camp. Be honest, was mad at training camp.

Speaker 2: He was here in studio for twenty five minutes or so.

619
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 2: Got a chance to talk to a few callers. Feel

620
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 2: bad for the ones that are trying to get in

621
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 2: couldn't talk to Darren.

622

Speaker 6: Uh.

623
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 2: He literally had to run. When I say he had

624
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 2: to run, he was running off to his He's a

625
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,719
Speaker 2: lot of business things going on. He actually said that

626
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 2: today is game day for him for some of the

627
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 2: things he's got going on with his business. He said,

628
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 2: this is like a game day for me. He named

629
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:51,959
Speaker 2: off two or three things that he had going on,

630
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 2: which makes me wonder. That's how great he is. Makes

631
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 2: me wonder why you would say, yeah, sure, I got

632
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 2: I got thirty minutes, ten to ten thirty, I'll come on.

633
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 2: He really enjoys being on here and enjoys talking to

634

Speaker 2: the fans. So that's just a credit to him. We

Speaker 2: really appreciate him stopping by. So let's get to some

Speaker 17: in close contact with her all the time. So all right,

657
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 17: I appreciate that, Nick.

658
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got a question for the game, you got

659
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 2: to what's talking question?

660
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 17: Yeah, I was just wondering so said that I missed him.

661
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 17: But anyways, how important do you think it is for

662
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 17: us to get that push in the middle, our defensive

663
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 17: tackles and stuff, to just put that pressure on uh.

664
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 18: This weekend?

665
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah, that's huge. That's always big. Yeah, thanks

666
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: Irwin for the call. I think that that defensive line,

667
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 2: that that that that front when Hankins is doing his thing, Osa, Gallimore, Mazy,

668
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: when they are controlling that middle. And you can say

669
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 2: this about a lot of football teams on all levels,

670
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 2: but when you when you are controlling that line of

671
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 2: scrimmage right there and forcing them to do other things,

672
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 2: because if you don't force them to do anything different,

673
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 2: they're gonna run the ball right down the middle, right

674
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: down your throat, and you can't do anything about it.

675
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: Nothing more to more than that. So that's where it starts.

676
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: It always starts in the trenches. It's a cliche, because

677
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 2: that's true. That's where it begins. So I think it's

678
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 2: very very important to kind of make sure that that

679
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 2: you can get after Purty. He's going to try to

680
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 2: dump it off, trying to dump it off to McCaffrey.

681
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 2: Try to make plays. Uh, you know, you know with

682
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 2: debo going side to side. That's what makes it so tough.

683
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 2: It's that that they they actually use the width of

684
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 2: the field more than than a lot of teams do,

685
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: so they really stretch you, uh in that way. All right,

686
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 2: let's go back to the phone lines. Kurt in Arkansas, Kurt,

687
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 2: what's up?

688
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,479
Speaker 7: Hey? What's up there?

689
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 2: He is not he had to run off.

690
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 7: Oh that shucks. I think he hasn't gotten in the

691
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 7: Hall of Thame yet.

692
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, we talked about that. He tried to. He

693
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 2: was biting his tongue on that one. He knows the process.

694
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 2: But but I can say it. I could say it

695
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 2: sucks because you know, the Cowboys are They've been around

696
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,959
Speaker 2: sixty five years. He's the all time leading tackler. I mean,

697
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,719
Speaker 2: somebody's making attack. Nobody's made more than him.

698
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 7: That's right.

699
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 3: Well.

700
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 7: Also, I hope I hope the Cowboys uh go in

701
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 7: there playing Mad Sunday.

702
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

703
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've been a fan since nineteen seventy when they

704
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 7: appeared in their first Super Bowl.

705
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about playing Mad. I don't know

706
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 2: if that's good or not. Sometimes you you you don't

707
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,959
Speaker 2: you know, you don't focus on what you need to do.

708
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 2: You got to you gotta be have controlled chaos. That's

709
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: that's what's.

710
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 7: Got to be. I don't mean, I don't mean losing focus, man,

711
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 7: I think being mean, bullying, mad.

712
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. I mean I think I think

713
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 2: last couple of years have have bothered him, and especially

714
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 2: especially the way that last game went down. What what

715
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 2: San Francisco did before the game and all that crap

716
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 2: with the kicker. They haven't forgotten that, and those guys

717
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 2: are still there, They're still on the team. So you know,

718
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 2: problem is is the two guys are their best two players,

719
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 2: you know, two of their best players, and Williams, Trent

720
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 2: Williams and d Samuel those are the ones that were

721
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 2: down there messing with mahar and the kicking snap and

722
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. There will be something in

723
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 2: pregame that will go down. I can promise you that

724
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 2: there will be some John, there will be some fighting.

725
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 7: That's hopet goes down and deep tries to be decamptate.

726
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 2: All right, all right, well thanks for the call, Kurt,

727
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 2: appreciate that. Yeah, Tolbert as your head hunter, who would

728
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 2: have thought that one who would have thought he's the

729
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:29,959
Speaker 2: guy that he wants to go down. But he had

730
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 2: a great play in the game. And you know, everybody

731
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 2: has a role. Everybody has a role in this game,

732
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 2: and it's it's gonna be plays like that that that

733
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 2: will determine the difference. Sometimes it's the guys you don't

734
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 2: even think about. You don't expect Jalen Tolbert as as

735
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: your gunner to go down and make plays like that.

736
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 2: Last year it was same same position. It was Kelvin

737
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 2: Joseph went down there and forced to fumble, they got

738
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 2: the ball. Imagine this Cowboys had some red zone issues,

739
00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 2: couldn't score, had to kick a field goal that could

740
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 2: changed the whole game. There, all right, Billy in Destin,

741
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 2: Florida is our next caller?

742
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 6: Billy?

743
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 2: What's up?

744
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

745
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 7: Him a first time caller. I saw that.

746
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 2: Appreciate that.

747
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 7: I saw Randy Gregory got cut today by Denver.

748
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 2: I saw that just now.

749
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a too.

750
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 7: You know, A two part questions can still play And

751
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 7: would Jerry be interested in maybe resigning him?

752
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 2: Well, here's the question of that. Why did he get cut?

753
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 2: That's always the question. Same with Loo Collins when that

754
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 2: all happened to why did he get cut? They just

755
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 2: was just what last year they brought him in, gave

756
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 2: him a lot of money. Obviously different coaching staff. Now

757
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 2: I understand that Sean Payton now different different staff, maybe

758
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 2: trying to go a different direction. But what's what's the reason,

759
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 2: you know? I mean, is it? Is it football related?

760
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 7: Is it?

761
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 4: Is?

762
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,719
Speaker 2: It? Is it? You know, he's been in the league now,

763
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 2: it's almost what nine years, ten years, hadn't played it

764
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 2: hadn't played nine ten years where the football? We know that,

765
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 2: but I don't know all the circumstances behind it. And

766
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 2: I don't want to speculate, but you know, he could

767
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 2: rush to their pass or he's a freak of a player.

768
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 2: It's just are their other issues going on? I don't

769
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 2: know this, I don't. It seems suspicious that you would

770
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 2: just cut him like that, unless he's an injury prone whatever.

771
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: I don't know all the details. It's not a position

772
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 2: of need. I mean, Dante Fowler and and and Sam

773
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 2: Williams are trying to get on the field, you know,

774
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 2: and make plays. So I don't I don't know. You

775
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 2: always will take great football players, but that one is

776
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 2: one where that doesn't seem like that would make sense

777
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 2: because again I don't know why he was he was cut.

778
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to another question here. This is

779
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 2: a text question from Denver, Colorado. He said his favorite

780
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 2: old school player Troy Hambrick. Wow, that's that's bringing it

781
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 2: back right there.

782
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 6: Uh.

783
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 2: And also this question, what offense positions are the cow

784
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 2: Alas favored better than the forty nine ers? You know

785
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 2: that's that's a that's a tough one. I mean, receiver,

786
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 2: I think I think they have better receivers, But you

787
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 2: wouldn't say that about the taiden m. You wouldn't say

788
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 2: that about the running back offensive line. I don't think

789
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 2: you would say that. I think it's close, but it

790
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 2: just also depends on some injuries, and the Niners are

791
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 2: going through some injuries. And quarterback. Let's don't even go

792
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 2: there because because you know, Purty is playing at a

793
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 2: level that's perfect for what the forty nine ers are doing.

794
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 2: I don't think if you rank all the quarterbacks, I

795
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 2: don't know if you put Purdy over Dak and all that,

796
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 2: but that doesn't matter. That's why those rankings are ridiculous

797
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 2: to me, because what Purdy is doing for the forty

798
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 2: nine ers is as good as what anybody's doing for

799
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 2: the other teams other than you know, maybe myhomes in

800
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 2: Kansas City. But he's just absolutely perfect for what they're

801
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 2: trying to do. But yeah, I mean old school player

802
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 2: Troy hambrig I mean, got some funny stories for about Troy.

803
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if I could cheer him on the air,

804
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 2: but uh, he was just he was just a different guy.

805
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 2: He was interesting in him and his brother Darren Hambrick.

806
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, big old, big old strong uh running back

807
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 2: and replaced them and you know in in two thousand

808
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 2: and three and almost had a thousand yards. I mean,

809
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 2: he was he was productive, you know, because he was

810
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 2: a big guy that that could move.

811
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 6: Uh.

812
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,720
Speaker 2: In one game against Washington, he had like one hundred

813
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 2: and seventy five yards uh in that game against the

814
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 2: against the Redskins at the time. All right, let's go

815
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 2: to the caller Emilio in California.

816
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 18: Hey, Chris, I'd like to have two questions, one for

817
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 18: the defense and one for the offense. Defensively, do you

818
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 18: believe our Kurt will be able to get dee Bo

819
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 18: hit deebel pretty pretty well to where he's not gonna

820
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 18: want to.

821
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 9: Go up the middle.

822
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 2: Uh huh.

823
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 18: And offensively, do you believe that Gallop is fun coming

824
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 18: in on his own and that two games I've seen

825
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 18: him say very stay better.

826
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 7: Yeah?

827
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 2: Is this for me? Or did you want Chris to

828
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 2: answer this? You called me Chris? So I'm joking.

829
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 3: Chris.

830
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 2: Is Chris our producer that answers a call. He could

831
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 2: answer it. Though he could answer, he can he can

832
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 2: tell you if Gallup's getting ready or he's down there

833
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 2: on the field. He almost got ran over by Mike

834
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 2: Guseki the other day. Good job kind of getting out

835
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 2: of the way. Uh there, No, he's got he's got

836
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 2: a great view and he's been doing this as long

837
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 2: as me. So Uh yeah, Debo and Gallup, thanks for

838
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 2: the call, me, Lee, I'm just giving you hard time.

839
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 2: Uh deebo Is He's just a freak. I mean, he's

840
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 2: just now he's dealing with some injuries now I think

841
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 2: knee and ribs. Uh that he got hurt in week three.

842
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 2: I played some last week. He's day to day. Didn't

843
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 2: have a great game, but I mean I'm sure once

844
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 2: that game kind of got out of hand. You know,

845
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 2: they're you know, the forty nine ers probably unlike the Cowboys.

846
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 2: They pulled some of their guys. I'm joking, they pulled

847
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 2: Zach Martin last week of People are giving you know,

848
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 2: the Cowboys some crap for not pulling Micah Parsons there.

849
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 2: That's probably easier said than done to get him off

850
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 2: the field. He's trying to get sacks. But but yeah,

851
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 2: they they Deeble didn't do a whole lot. He will, he'll,

852
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 2: he'll be ready, I'm sure for this game. Michael Gallup

853
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,919
Speaker 2: last couple of games has been productive. And then that's

854
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 2: how we kind of thought would happen. You know, let's

855
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 2: see how teams go and try to cover CD. Then

856
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 2: not gonna let CD just kill him. And and so

857
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 2: because of that, that's why you get three receivers that

858
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 2: can play, because you can't cover everyone. And if Ferguson

859
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 2: continues to make the catches over the middle and get

860
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 2: first downs, that's gonna open up guys like Cooks and

861
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 2: Gallop even more because those guys in the middle of

862
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 2: the field. I mean, that's what that's what fergus is doing.

863
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 2: He's doing what Dalton Schultz was doing the last couple

864
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 2: of years. But he actually a little bit better because

865
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 2: he's down the field a little bit more. Now. Schultz was,

866
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 2: you know, sure handed, and I thought he made some

867
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 2: tough grabs that he'd like to see Schoonmaker make. And

868
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 2: the hindershot and and and Ferguson, they've all had some

869
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 2: drops a little bit, but really starting to see the

870
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 2: light bulbs coming on. I think for for Ferguson for sure.

871
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 2: All right. Text question question from from Atlanta. This is

872
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 2: Zach from Atlanta. Can you talk about development of second

873
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 2: year players to Moone Clark Sam Williams, Well, the moon

874
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 2: Clark is playing more. You know, he's definitely he's starting,

875
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 2: uh at linebacker. Uh, he's learning from Layton. You know,

876
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 2: he hasn't made those wild plays that you thought that

877
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 2: he would make. But but I think that he's he's

878
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 2: he's fine. I mean, he's he's ahead of schedule from

879
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 2: where you know he was last year with that injury.

880
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 2: So I think Damon is on track to be a

881
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 2: really good player. I think the game will slow down

882
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 2: more for him, and when it does, he'll speed up.

883
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 2: Sam Williams probably the same type of thing.

884
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 3: Uh.

885
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 2: His issue is he's just he's got a lot of

886
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 2: guys ahead of him. You know, he's just got guys,

887
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 2: you know, ahead of him because he could rush the passer,

888
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 2: and they have him in there rushing the passer. But

889
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 2: you know, to to get on the field and play

890
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 2: more at that position, you have to be a three

891
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 2: down player. You have to, you know, you have to stand, run, defense,

892
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 2: fits and all that stuff containment. So he's just got guys.

893
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 2: I mean, he's battling with Dante Faller, the third overall

894
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 2: pick in the draft in twenty fifteen, that he's trying

895
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 2: to get on the field too, and Dorrin's armstrong needs

896
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 2: snaps and tank and of course Micah. So that's kind

897
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 2: of the issue with Sam. But I mean, I think

898
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,240
Speaker 2: that they like him a lot.

899
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 3: All right.

900
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 2: Another caller, Earl from Richmond, Virginia. Earl, what's up?

901
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 3: Earl?

902
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 2: Are you with us?

903
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 7: Dude?

904
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 2: Jonathan?

905
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 3: All right?

906
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 2: How about Jonathan and Virginia? Jonathan? What's up?

907
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 18: What's going on?

908
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:37,919
Speaker 7: Nick? How you doing good?

909
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 2: How are you?

910
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 19: I'm doing well. I have a couple questions asked. Well,

911
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 19: the first thing is we matched up with the Niners

912
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 19: recently in the last couple of years. Do you have

913
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 19: any nuggets or anything that comes to mind in the

914
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 19: last couple of times that we face them, that you're

915
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 19: going to bring to light. Just interested in that. And

916
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 19: then the second point I had is for the Tony

917
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 19: Tony caller running back, it seems to me he's not

918
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 19: as as efficient as he was last year. I mean

919
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 19: he would get like ten carries and have like over

920
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 19: one hundred yards. Do you feel as though they're using

921
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 19: him in the same way?

922
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 20: And is that kind of the thought process that we

923
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 20: should have had for like deep when he was here

924
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 20: to where the bell cow not everyone could be Derrick Henry,

925
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 20: but the bell cow running back kind of has to

926
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 20: get some of those carries where you're not going to

927
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 20: get much. Just to keep him honest, like, is there

928
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 20: anything you would want to say to his effectingness?

929
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, thank you. Let's let's start with with that

930
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 2: one with Pollard. Yeah, this is this is part of

931
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 2: the deal. Okay, this is this is it. When you

932
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 2: want to make him the lead back, that means he

933
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 2: takes the hits and he also he's on the field more.

934
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 2: He's also taking more hits. Don't just look at his

935
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 2: carries and saying that's how many touches he has he's

936
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 2: also getting hit by blitzing linebackers and safeties and taking

937
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 2: you know, more more of that that the pass protection

938
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 2: collisions as well. So you know he's not a big guy.

939
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,720
Speaker 2: And and we we we know this. Everyone can see this,

940
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:02,240
Speaker 2: this situation with with and so you know it's it's

941
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 2: you know, your average is going to go down when

942
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 2: it's the third and one and you get two yards,

943
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 2: Great job, you did exactly what we want you to do.

944
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 2: You move the sticks. Your average got hurt as well.

945
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 2: That's what happened. Everyone was looking at Zeke's average all

946
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 2: the time, going well, it's not the same as Poller,

947
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 2: of course not, because he's having to do the dirty work.

948
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 2: And that's what Pollard's having to do. He's having to

949
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 2: do the dirty work. And what does it knocks your

950
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 2: numbers down a little bit. He's got a lot more carries.

951
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's leading the NFL still he

952
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 2: was last week. I don't know if he's leading the

953
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 2: NFL anymore. But he's right up there in touches and

954
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: and you know, with an entire NFL that's not something

955
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 2: he's used to. So you can say that he's not

956
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 2: as effective he's very effective. It's just that he's doing

957
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 2: it more and you're seeing his numbers kind of go

958
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,439
Speaker 2: down a little bit. But I think, you know, that's

959
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 2: that's the nature of it. As for Nuggets on the

960
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 2: forty nine ers and all that, I mean, I just

961
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 2: think that they've been they've been better. You know, the

962
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 2: last couple of years. They came in. They walked into

963
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 2: AT and T Stadium with the Boone box two years ago.

964
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 2: They hit the Cowboys right in the mouth. They were

965
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 2: not intimidated at all. Didn't care about the Cowboys record.

966
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,240
Speaker 2: They didn't care that they just snuck into the playoffs

967
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 2: the week before. They didn't care. They walked into AT

968
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 2: and T Stadium. They took it right to the Cowboys.

969
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 2: And it took Dallas a long time to kind of

970
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 2: wake up and finally figure out that this was a

971
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 2: playoff game. And and they you know, they got they

972
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 2: got beat, They got pushed around that second game. They

973
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 2: didn't the second game, to me was the fact that

974
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 2: one team had a kicker that they trusted. The other

975
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 2: team had a kicker that nobody trusted, and that even

976
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 2: himself that was the problem. Robbie Gold was hitting fit

977
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 2: forty to fifty yarders. Maher couldn't hit an extra point. Now,

978
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,240
Speaker 2: he did hit a couple later in the game, very

979
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 2: short field goals, but that was really more of a

980
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 2: product of the Cowboys not scoring in the red zone.

981
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 2: I just thought it came down they didn't have enough playmakers.

982
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 2: But that but that pregame stuff, you know, that was

983
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 2: that was a problem. And they forty nine ers tried to,

984
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 2: you know, get into Maher's head and all that, and

985
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 2: I thought that was bush league that they did. And

986
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 2: you know, they did it on a time when a

987
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 2: lot of the Cowboy players were not on the field.

988
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 2: It's usually just kickers and return specialists. Trent Williams went

989
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 2: out there, Deebo went out there to try to send

990
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 2: a message. I'd like to see. I want to see

991
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 2: if they do that again. I want to see if

992
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 2: something like that happens. I know they pissed off a

993
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 2: lot of the Cowboy players, but it was kind of

994
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 2: too late at that at that point. But I trust me,

995
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 2: there will be some issues on the field there before

996
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 2: the game. It's gonna be some fireworks, probably long before

997
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 2: the kickoff. If we can get one more caller. We

998
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,240
Speaker 2: can't Earl in Richmond, Virginia.

999
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 6: Earl, what's up, Hey, Nick?

1000
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 12: How you're doing?

1001
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 7: Man?

1002
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 12: I love your show and I love your insight on

1003
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 12: the Cowboys and the game.

1004
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 2: Thank you appreciate that.

1005
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 12: Yeah, doubt. My question is that everybody is saying how

1006
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 12: great before the Niners. They are a good team. They're

1007
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 12: not a great team and they're not unbeatable. So if

1008
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 12: the Cowboys do what they do best, thing will win

1009
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:02,399
Speaker 12: and it's time for.

1010
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 11: Him to win.

1011
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 3: Yep.

1012
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 2: Well what do you think the Cowboys do best?

1013
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 12: They do that is defense.

1014
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's that's what it looks like.

1015
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,240
Speaker 2: They got to be focused though, they got to be focused.

1016
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 12: They've got to be focused.

1017
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 18: Do I do agree with you?

1018
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 12: They are well defensive. The turn into a defensive team,

1019
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:27,720
Speaker 12: good offense, very good offense, very good offense. The their

1020
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 12: zone issue will be will be strained up because San Francisco.

1021
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 11: Is not unbeatable.

1022
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, well we're going to find out. I mean,

1023
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 2: that's that's the thing. I don't think anyone in this

1024
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,359
Speaker 2: league and the way it's set up, is ever going

1025
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 2: to be unbeatable. I mean I think that that's that's

1026
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 2: the nature of the league. But I do think that

1027
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,399
Speaker 2: that they are. I mean, they look great right now.

1028
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 2: I don't know if you want to call anyone good, great, whatever.

1029
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 2: I think that the you know, the Cowboys have been

1030
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 2: great at times this year. The forty nine ers have

1031
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 2: been have been great. And you know, when it comes

1032
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 2: to this matchup, we talked about and focused. I mean,

1033
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 2: if you're not focused for this game, then you will

1034
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 2: never be focused. I mean, you're just not going to be.

1035
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,399
Speaker 2: So they'll they'll be ready to go. It'll be it'll

1036
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 2: it's gonna be physical, it's gonna be emotional, and and

1037
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 2: just who who can kind of withstand that? I mean,

1038
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 2: I think the crowd will be ridiculous. I mean, the

1039
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 2: Cowboy fans will be that. This is a regular season game,

1040
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 2: this has been on the schedule for a long time.

1041
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 2: The Cowboy fans will be out there.

1042
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 3: Uh.

1043
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 2: That only intensifies matchups like this. So you'll, you'll it'll

1044
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 2: be emotional in the stands, It'll be emotional on the

1045
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 2: field before the game, during the game, all that. Who

1046
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 2: can handle that, Who withstands the pressure? Who can can

1047
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 2: can you know, focus in on all of these out

1048
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 2: outside talk all this. You know, this is a playoff

1049
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,439
Speaker 2: type matchup and who can actually go in there and

1050
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 2: get the job done. And we'll find out. This is

1051
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 2: the greatest challenge the Cowboys have faced, you know, all year.

1052
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 2: We'll see if they're ready for it. But guess what,

1053
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 2: this is the best challenge that the forty nine ers

1054
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 2: have faced as well. I mean, and they know that.

1055
00:46:59,560 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 3: I mean this.

1056
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 2: There's nothing you know, there's no there's no hiding that

1057
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 2: the Cowboys are are a really good, good football team.

1058
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 2: The forty nine ers right now look a little bit better,

1059
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 2: but that could change come Monday. I can't wait to

1060
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 2: talk about We'll talked about it in the next couple

1061
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,279
