1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:03,239
Speaker 1: The following.

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 3: Cowboys, This's Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.

5
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: Good morning, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Monday, September

6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: twenty third. Coming off, Cowboys lost to the Ravens twenty

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: eight to twenty five. Interesting game, to say the least,

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: not even sure game's been I don't know, twelve hours old,

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 1: maybe sixteen hours old, and I still don't really know

10
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: what the process from that game. Interesting fourth quarter for

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, but they still they still got dominated when

12
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: it really mattered. And I think that's the most concerning

13
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: thing about this about this game. You can get it,

14
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: you know, happy about the fourth quarter if you want to,

15
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: and that maybe maybe the offense found something. I don't know,

16
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: but but I think, you know, the moralizing part is

17
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: that the Ravens pretty much did what they wanted to

18
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: when they wanted to and UH and and that was

19
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: evident in the game for really three and a half quarters.

20
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: So Cowboy was sitting at one and two. We can

21
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: talk about it short week this week though, we got

22
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: two shows and then we'll be going to UH to

23
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: New York on Wednesday, so we will get it all

24
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: in here today and tomorrow. Eight eight eight eight five

25
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: five to two nine seven is the number to call

26
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: Michael from Colton, California as first, let's go.

27
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 4: Good morning, Nick. Hey man, that was man, that was

28
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 4: That was very disappointing. But you know it's a saying.

29
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 4: You know that, that saying that goes. You got to

30
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 4: know when to hold them, know when to fold them.

31
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 4: And you know what, man, I'm gonna go ahead and

32
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 4: fold them. I was wrong. This team is not ready

33
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 4: for for the NFC Championship game, you know what. But

34
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 4: I will say this, they have talent and that's that's

35
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 4: what's pulled fussed reading about it. Is they have talent

36
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 4: across the board. They have a good quarterback, you know,

37
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 4: I mean running back. We can sit here and beat

38
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 4: that dead horse all day. But it is what it is,

39
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 4: you know. But that's the frustrating part to me, is

40
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 4: just the talent is there, which leads me to believe

41
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 4: that it's just the coaching scheme is not where it

42
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 4: needs to be. Or hey, maybe it's not the staff

43
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 4: we need in here to get us to where we

44
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 4: need to get, you know, But I mean.

45
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: The hold them and fold them is a poker term obviously,

46
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: when you're holding your cards and decide to just fold

47
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: the cards. So when you say that, what do you

48
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: mean by fold them?

49
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 4: Well, what I mean by that is, you know, at

50
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 4: the beginning of the season, I told you I'm all in.

51
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 4: They're going to go to the NFC Championship Game, Dak

52
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 4: Prescott for MVP. And I'm not knocking Dak Prescott. I

53
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 4: think he's gonna have a good season. It's still early.

54
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 4: It's way too early to say he's bad. I'm not

55
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 4: saying that at all. But that's what I mean. For

56
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 4: me personally, I'm folding on that. I was wrong. I

57
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 4: was wrong when I said that. Oh that's what I

58
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 4: mean by that, Okay, And like I said, the talent

59
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 4: is there. The talent is there. There's no question about that.

60
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 4: But it's like, man, what is going on here?

61
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 5: You know?

62
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 4: And that's what leads reached to believe it's just the

63
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 4: coaching scheme. It's the coaching, you know.

64
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: But what you know, Thank you first, all right, Michael,

65
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: thank you, thanks for the call. Appreciate that. I mean,

66
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 1: he started us off with Friday, and you know, got

67
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: excited and got everybody going Cowboys Nation, and then predicted

68
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: a fourteen point loss. So, you know, twenty eight to

69
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: fourteen I think was the pick that I have for him,

70
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: and that it looked like at one point that would

71
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: be about the score. You know. That's the thing about

72
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: That's why when you jump out there and say they're

73
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: going to do this or they're going to do that,

74
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: and then and it leaves you to come back in

75
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: week four now and say, no, I was wrong. Well,

76
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: well maybe you weren't. Maybe you know who knows? Who knows?

77
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: Just yet they go up there and handle their business

78
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: against the Giants and beat a team like that that

79
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: they should be. I know that they want. I know

80
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: they have the same record, and they've they've beaten the

81
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: same team. I get it. The Giants have have beaten

82
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: Cleveland on the road, so of the Cowboys, so so

83
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: they're they're pretty much the same when it comes to that.

84
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: So I you know, I still feel like the Cowboys

85
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 1: can go up there and win that game. We'll talk

86
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: about that then, but but all I'm saying is is

87
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: that that's why you don't need to get go down

88
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: this road about what they are, what they're not let's

89
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: talk about why they they lost this game against Baltimore.

90
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: That's really kind of where we are living in the moment.

91
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: All right, Travis and san Antonio's next.

92
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 6: Pretty good.

93
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 7: I'm probably not, uh, probably not as upset as you.

94
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 7: I assume you might get some calls today, but I'm more,

95
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 7: I guess disappointed. And I mean I picked. I actually

96
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 7: picked the Ravens to wind yesterday, so it was sort

97
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 7: of just part for the course in that respect. And honestly,

98
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 7: I know it's for going to the Giants, but I

99
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 7: don't really have much of a reason outside of Brandon

100
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 7: Aubrey to pick them going in that game. And and honestly,

101
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 7: the if I'm the Giants, I know, you know Dan

102
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 7: Danny Diames is Danny Penny sometimes, But if I'm the

103
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,679
Speaker 7: Giants and I'm watching that tape, I know I was wrong.

104
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 8: I was.

105
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 7: I'll say that I'm right here on the on my life.

106
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 7: I was wrong about Bozzie. He hasn't taken them and

107
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 7: jump like I thought he would, so I have to

108
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 7: wear that. But just as bad as the interior is,

109
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 7: which is what everyone's focusing on, the edges were just

110
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 7: as bad. If I'm the Giants and Daniel Jones. I'm

111
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 7: gonna be testing the edges with those same quarterback runs

112
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 7: because we know if he can do one thing, he

113
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 7: definitely can run. And why would you not test those

114
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 7: edges because are those are some soft edges in that

115
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 7: game which is way too easy? It looked like it

116
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 7: looked like like a practice rep for Lamar Jackson on

117
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 7: the outside. So that was disappointing. I just think, I

118
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 7: guess I'll sum it up like this, as far as

119
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 7: the game goes, they I hate to say this, but

120
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 7: they just it just seems like they lack discipline, they

121
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 7: lack toughness, and they lack leadership. Outside of four, I

122
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 7: don't know who else they have. It seems like to

123
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 7: me they have a lot more finger pointers than they

124
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 7: do galvanizers. Outside of Dak, I don't know who else

125
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 7: you can really say as a bona fide like galvanizer

126
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 7: of the team. And I think it's just starting to

127
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 7: show up. And I had them going seven to ten

128
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 7: this year and Rob kind of made a joke. He

129
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 7: made a joke I'm on Twitter up yesterday. He goes,

130
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 7: maybe you overestimated, and I said, maybe I did, But

131
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 7: hopefully I've proven wrong. I hope I am wrong on

132
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 7: that one next. But right now, at this point, there's

133
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 7: not a whole lot of my optimism bar is pretty low.

134
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 7: So I just wanted to see what you thought, and again,

135
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 7: hope I'm proved wrong on Thursday, but we'll see how

136
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 7: it goes.

137
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they don't beat the Giants on Thursday, then

138
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: then yeah, I mean seven and ten doesn't look good

139
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: as even like that that's going to happen because you

140
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: can't beat the Giants. I mean, I mean think about

141
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: where where I know every season is different, but you

142
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: know you were I think I don't know, thirty five

143
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: points better than the Giants and two games forty and

144
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: like thirty two or something like that. So if you

145
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: if they've closed the gap that much because they're not good,

146
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: I mean there's no doubt about it, then they're not

147
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: a good team either. So if that that's happened, then

148
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: that that just kind of goes to show just how

149
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: far things have fallen. I'm not really there yet to

150
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: say that the Cowboys are not going to win that

151
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: game or get turned around. I think I think one

152
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: thing that we've seen is matchups matter in the NFL.

153
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: We saw it, and he saw that New Orleans Philly game,

154
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, just how Philly played New

155
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: Orleans and how the Cowboys played them, and and I'm

156
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: pretty sure when the Cowboys play Philly it'll probably be

157
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: a closer game, you know too. So it's it's just

158
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: kind of all about the styles make fights type thing.

159
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: And I think the Giants is they've shown, you know

160
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: that they they don't match up the same as the Cowboys.

161
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: And I mean, Dak's what one twelve in a row

162
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: or something against them. So you know, we'll get to

163
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: that problem on Friday, if that's what we're coming in

164
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: here talking about. But but you're right about running the ball, running,

165
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, off the edges, and Daniel Jones can do that.

166
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: But again, we'll keep it with with Baltimore, uh, for

167
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: for now, and because it is a short week before

168
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: we turn the page. All right, let's go to Tyrone

169
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania.

170
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 9: Hey, Nick, how you're doing I'm a first time storyline caller,

171
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 9: but I used to call you a couple of times

172
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 9: when you were on the break.

173
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: How you doing it?

174
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: Good man? We go, all right, man, Well, how are you?

175
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 9: Uh, you know, I'm over here in eastern Pennsylvania, so

176
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 9: I kind of deal with the you know, the Eagles

177
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 9: fans and the trolls.

178
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 10: But yeah, I'm gonna kee. I'm gonna keep this clear

179
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 10: and concise. This This team dead said something on Twitter,

180
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 10: and you know, I kind of agree with it. I

181
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 10: was saying it before, you know, in groups and stuff

182
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 10: of that nature. I don't think this scheme fits the players.

183
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 10: And one of the things that you have to do

184
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 10: as a coaching staff is you have to look at

185
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 10: the strengths. And one thing I saw, I knowed you

186
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 10: have Trayvon Diggs, one of the best man corners in

187
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 10: the league, and on third and seven you play him

188
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 10: at depth and it is a routine seven on seven

189
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 10: out route for.

190
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 9: The game that that that's the game right there. Why

191
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 9: maybe they don't trust maybe he doesn't trust his mean,

192
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 9: or they don't trust his mean, or they're trying to

193
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 9: predict him. The game's over there if he's if he

194
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 9: presses and he blows, you know, he blows by him

195
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 9: and goes for a sixty yard touchdown, So what game's

196
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 9: over anyway? If he completes that and they got pressure slightly,

197
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 9: it was there you know that that passed that to me.

198
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 9: There was a lot of plays that could have won

199
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 9: the game. I said they weren't going to win, you know,

200
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 9: friends and family and such. I knew just because I

201
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 9: don't think Zimmer is the fit coach wise, you know,

202
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 9: I don't. I don't know if it's you know, the

203
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 9: players aren't getting his scheme or they don't have the

204
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 9: tight but Zimmer's got to adjust something and playing Carson's

205
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 9: and digs depth it's not working, and you've seen it

206
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 9: for the last two games. So I'll hang up.

207
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 10: I'll listen to you, man. I appreciate everything you do.

208
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: Good take, good take, Thanks Tyrone. And you're right, I mean,

209
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. He's a great runner. You know, he's a playmaker,

210
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. But he's not He's not

211
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: the best passer in the world. We know that. And

212
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: so I'm with you on that. You know, make him,

213
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: make him make that throw. And if they want to

214
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: do that, if they want to test it on third

215
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: and six and they want to go deep down you

216
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: know the field, go for it, you know, but I'm

217
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: with you on that. Seven eight yards you know, wins

218
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: the game for them. And so I would have had

219
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: him a lot closer to the to the line of

220
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: scrimmage and and just make him make a play. He

221
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: maybe doesn't make that throw and then he scrambles around

222
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: and then who knows what what happens there. But yeah,

223
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: I disagreed with the coverage on that play. And uh,

224
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: I think you're you're you're right, and you know, a

225
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: lot of times you're with these corners. I mean, you're

226
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: you're doing to protect protect them, and of what he's

227
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: you know, good at. I'm not saying he's not one

228
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: hundred percent or whatever, but most most players with an

229
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: ACL injury, they don't come back exactly the same. The

230
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: knee is healthy and ready, but everything mentally and just

231
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: how much you want to test it and cut on

232
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: it and things like that, it's a little different. And

233
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: so we'll see moving forward if that's if that's something

234
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: that he gets a little closer and closer playing his

235
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: style a little bit. All right, let's go to Bobby

236
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: in Dallas.

237
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 11: Hey, Dick, how are you good?

238
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: How are you doing?

239
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 11: I'm doing all right, I'm doing all right. I'll try

240
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 11: to keep it brief. A long time listener, been listening

241
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 11: to you guys since the lunch breaks. I really appreciate

242
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 11: everything you guys do really quick correct me if I'm wrong.

243
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 11: But something that's always done me and I think it

244
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 11: particularly came up yesterday is back in twenty sixteen, we

245
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 11: actually technically had the opportunity to draft Jalen Ramsey in

246
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 11: the first and we could have actually gotten Derrick Henry

247
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 11: in the second. And I know that you know you

248
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 11: could play that game all day, but I think it's

249
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 11: worth raising that because this is the one I feel

250
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 11: strongly about to where I really think that Combo would

251
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 11: have gotten this or Ring. I think the consistency of

252
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 11: having that so that much solid depth and strength in

253
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 11: those two positions probably would.

254
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 12: Have been enough for DAK.

255
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 11: So I'm curious if you agree with that. Obviously, we

256
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 11: didn't know what Derek Henry was going to be. I

257
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 11: think a lot of people thought who goes the way

258
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 11: of Eddie Lacy? And I think he's only gotten better

259
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 11: as he's as his kind of time in the league

260
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 11: has developed. And then second point, I haven't had a

261
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 11: chance to look to forget it's been brought up, but

262
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 11: I want to talk about Dak's accuracy for a second.

263
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 11: I think it's never been his strength, and I think

264
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 11: that's probably the reason he was drafted in the fourth round.

265
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 11: I actually think Cooper Rush has a better deep ball,

266
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 11: but I.

267
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 13: Think I don't know.

268
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 11: I'm torn between like saying, you're the highest paid quarterback

269
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 11: in the league. You've got to be able to not

270
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 11: miss Zeke when he's in the flat, and even some

271
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 11: of those catches to Ferguson and and some of the

272
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 11: other receivers, they're still behind him. So I'm wondering, like,

273
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 11: does Dak just need to get better or does our

274
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 11: coaching and our offensive coordinator really just need to scheme

275
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 11: for him to bounce outside and make.

276
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 14: The short throws.

277
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 11: And I really appreciate it. I'll hang up and listen.

278
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: All right, thank you. I'm not sure if Bobby is

279
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: the first time caller for the see, but if so,

280
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: go for it. And I know you, Thank you, Chris.

281
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: And I know that that he's called before, but I

282
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: don't remember writing that down on my seat here. So anyways,

283
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 1: and good points to twenty sixteen. I mean, yeah, it's

284
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: easy to say that now. There's a lot of factors

285
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: involved with that, you know, because you were they going

286
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 1: to take Derrick Henry, you know, in the second I

287
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: mean I think Jerry wanted to take Jalen Smith in

288
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: the second round. I think that he was just hell

289
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: bent on doing that. So I'm not sure if they

290
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: would have been gotten him in the second round. I

291
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: know he was there, but that doesn't mean that they

292
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: take him. And you know, like I said, Dak and

293
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: Zeke together, you know, maybe Dak doesn't develop like he

294
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: did without. I mean, they were great for each other

295
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: in their own way. I think so at least, And

296
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: so it's really hard to go down that road. Yes,

297
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: Ramsey great corner, and if Ramsey had the career that

298
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: he had and and Derrick Henry has the career that

299
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: he has, then yeah, the two for one is better

300
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: than what you probably what you would have had I

301
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: think with Zeke and and of course Jayaln Smith. But

302
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: you know, you can go down that route in any draft.

303
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the better argument would be why

304
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: not this year? Though? Why not? You know, why not now?

305
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: Why not in the off season? I mean, I think

306
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: I think that argument is is one you could you

307
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: could definitely talk about, you know, if not him, other

308
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: running backs that are that were out there it's a

309
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: pretty strong free agent class of running backs this year,

310
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys show to go the rout of Zeke

311
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, and Royce Freeman and and and not draft

312
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: a running back. So I think that that should be

313
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: discussed and I and I think that would be fair

314
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: criticism at this point in the season. I think the

315
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: running game, the lack of running games, is the biggest

316
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: problem on this team. You can argue all day long

317
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: about it stopping the run, because that's not that's not

318
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: better either, but but I think the fact that they

319
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: can't run the football is still the biggest issue facing

320
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: this team right now. Dak's accuracy is another part that

321
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: you just talked about Bobby, and that's that's who he is.

322
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: You're right about that fourth round pick, that that's who

323
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: he is, that's what that's that's how he's always been,

324
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: you know. And the deep ball, I've said the same thing.

325
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, Cooper Rush, I think there's a better

326
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: deep ball. That's kind of what he does. I mean,

327
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: you could just you could make the argument Jason Garrett

328
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: throw a better deep ball than Troy Aikman just from

329
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: lining up throwing a deep ball. There's a lot more

330
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: to the football game playing quarterback than than just that.

331
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: So we don't have to get into all that all that,

332
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: but but I think that that you know, there's some

333
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: passes in the last couple of games, there's passes that

334
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: Dak has missed, and and everything that he does now

335
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: is getting you know, the number sixty gets thrown to

336
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: him every time he does anything. All right, let's go

337
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: to Gavin and Oklahoma City.

338
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 6: Hey, Nick has a gone good?

339
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: How are you?

340
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 6: I've been better? I paid money to get good seats

341
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 6: to watch Derek and Ry and Lamar Jackson run all

342
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 6: over us. Well, but other than that, I'm good. I'm

343
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 6: gonna keep it quick today because I'm in my feelings

344
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 6: about the game. Because one thing you could take away

345
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 6: from that game to be encouraged by and one thing

346
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 6: to be discouraged by. I guess you could find a million,

347
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 6: So I guess want to encourage would be better. And

348
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 6: then my other question would be do you think this

349
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 6: team and these last two losses, And yes, it's just

350
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 6: two losses, I understand that has more of a personnel

351
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 6: issue for a coaching issue. Yeah, I leave it at that.

352
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 6: I just I just don't see the heart in this team.

353
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 6: And I know we played two tough teams you can argue,

354
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 6: but man, we got to be these better teams. I'm

355
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 6: I'm thinking before the season, I wonder how the playoffs

356
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 6: are going to go again, and now I'm thinking, like, man,

357
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 6: we even gonna make the playoffs.

358
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's that's you're right, and that's that's kind

359
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: of where I think this team is. Thank you Gavin

360
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: for the call. I think that's that's one of the

361
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: things about I know one a callback in training camp

362
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: about regular season doesn't matter and all that stuff. Well,

363
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: for this team, like it feels it feels like every

364
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: game is going to be like that, Like like getting

365
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: to the playoffs is going to be the goal. I

366
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: mean it's always the goal. It's always the goal to

367
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: get to the to the to the playoffs. I mean

368
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: you got to get there before you can do anything else.

369
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: And so yeah, you want to the highest seed possible

370
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: and all that. But I think the way it looks

371
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: right now, I mean after three games, is that they

372
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: are going to have to scratch and claw for everything

373
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: that they have. I mean they're going to New York

374
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: this week, you know, in three days of playing a

375
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: Giants team, and I think they're about four point favorites

376
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: to go to go win the game, you know, and

377
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: that might change, I don't know, but I mean the

378
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: Giants obviously think that they can go win the game,

379
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: and they probably can that they can based off of

380
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: where things are right now. I mean to answer your question,

381
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: is it coaches or is it personnel? I mean the

382
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: answer can be both, because the combination of the two.

383
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: The combination of the two is the thing. It's it's

384
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: the personnel with these coaches, you know, and and the

385
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: coaches probably want better personnel and maybe the maybe the

386
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: players want better coach. Who knows. But I'm just saying

387
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: it is what it is. And so you you can't

388
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: just say, well, just the players, it's not the coach, no,

389
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: because they don't. These guys. I mean, Zimmer, Hey, I

390
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,719
Speaker 1: love the guy, but I mean like he's he's you know,

391
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 1: he's had. He's not like the end all be all

392
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: when it comes to coach. I mean he's had he's

393
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: had good teams, he's had bad teams. He's had that.

394
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: Now I think he's had better defenses than he's had

395
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: bad defenses. But I mean he's been let go of

396
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: other places. I mean that that that happens. I mean,

397
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: that's my point is that is that you know, it's

398
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: not just mister fix it all the time. And for

399
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: these players the same thing. You know, look at the

400
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: guys that they're they're playing with. It's not all first

401
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: round picks here, it's not all second round picks. It's

402
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: it's guys that nobody wanted for a while, or free

403
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: agents that were on the street, whatever it is, so

404
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: that they've got to come together. And you know, look

405
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: like they were doing that at training camp and looked

406
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: like they did that, you know, for the first game.

407
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: But these these next two games, they've been figured out,

408
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: and so we'll see how how things switch if they do.

409
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to David and fort Worth.

410
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 15: Hey, how you doing, Nick good?

411
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: How are you doing good?

412
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 3: Man?

413
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 15: I mean, honestly, I'll tell you the truth. Aside from

414
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 15: the very first time I ever called the show, my

415
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 15: heart really doesn't pound out of my chest. I don't

416
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 15: really get nervous to call you anymore. I feel like

417
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 15: we're kind of friends, even though we never let But today, man,

418
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 15: it's pounding. Man, it's pounding. I feel like it's because

419
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 15: I don't know how I feel. I don't know what

420
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 15: the feels in a long time since I felt like

421
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 15: this about this team. You know me, I try to

422
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 15: be pretty optimistic and positive, and I'm gonna have a

423
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 15: little bit of positivity in this call and Rob and

424
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 15: everybody else. Don't throw don't jump down my throat when

425
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 15: I say this, but I'm glad at least in the

426
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 15: fourth quarter that Dallas had showed a little bit of

427
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 15: fight and they crawled back a little bit. No way,

428
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 15: by no means am I saying this is a moral

429
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 15: victory or this or that. But I like seeing them

430
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 15: arguing on the sideline a little bit. I like seeing

431
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 15: them crawl back because I've seen the other side of

432
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 15: that story where they just all have kind of that

433
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 15: blank stare and they're just shocked, and it kind of

434
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 15: seems like they're just like, dang, we kind of lost today.

435
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 15: I mean, I liked seeing the fight back because I

436
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 15: felt like that's a little bit of what we had with,

437
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 15: you know, the Tony Romo days, where I was like,

438
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 15: I always felt like we were never out because he

439
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 15: was going to continue to fight, he was going to continue.

440
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 3: To do that.

441
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 15: I did one of this I wanted to say that

442
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 15: I thought it was interesting here and Mica talk about

443
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 15: everybody's everybody's trying to be Superman, everybody just needs to

444
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 15: do their job, and then hearing Laurence talk about people

445
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 15: out there playing like it's Pop Warner, I mean, it

446
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 15: seems like people are maybe just reaching too much, trying

447
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 15: to trying too hard. And if that's the case, and

448
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 15: maybe there can be small little adjustments, adjustments just moral

449
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 15: i'm sorry, mental errors that they need to fix, and

450
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 15: hopefully that's what it is going forward. I'm not too

451
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 15: confident about that, but hopefully that's what it is.

452
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 10: My last point is.

453
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 15: A lot of people are going to comment about CD

454
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 15: and his like antics and his I guess mannerisms on

455
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 15: the sideline, and I'm one of those that feels like

456
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 15: a little bit I never really wanted to bring it up.

457
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 15: I feel little bit uncomfortable and it just kind of

458
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 15: upsets me to see him kind of like bounce around

459
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 15: and be pouty and stuff. But I want to say

460
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 15: that I'm being unfair because I know Dev had antics

461
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 15: and sideline rants and I loved that out of death

462
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 15: and I don't really know why, So I'll ask you, Nick,

463
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 15: and anybody else, why do you think that, you know,

464
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 15: the optics were just different with Dez. To me, the

465
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 15: only thing that I could think about is Dez showed

466
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 15: fight on the sideline and frustration, but dev also gotten

467
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 15: people's face on the field. He was aggressive and he

468
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 15: did that on the field, and I haven't really seen

469
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,719
Speaker 15: TD do that except for the nose white thing. And

470
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 15: you know, he kind of got pumped in the green

471
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 15: Bay game. Like maybe that's what it is, but I'm

472
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 15: not really sure, Nick, and I apologize. Just call it everywhere, man.

473
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 15: But today, man, great day?

474
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: All right? Well, I mean you know the Cowboys were

475
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: kind of everywhere yesterday yesterday. I mean you know, they

476
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: were they showing fight? Were they rolling over? Did they

477
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: do both? I mean so you know what I mean,

478
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 1: they were kind of uh schizophrenic yesterday and just the

479
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: way they played the game. Yeah, yeah, the fight part,

480
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he does not. This isn't moral victory

481
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: type thing at all because they gave up two hundred

482
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: and seventy three yards rushing. So and again, like I said,

483
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: anytime Baltimore wanted to go score and move the ball,

484
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: they did, and so that that there's not a lot

485
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: to feel good about that part. Yeah, would you like

486
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: to lose twenty eight to six or twenty eight twenty five? Yeah, yeah,

487
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: you want to play well in the fourth quarter and

488
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: come back and give yourself a chance. And they did.

489
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: They third and six, they had a chance. They got

490
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: off the field. If they get off the field on

491
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: an incomplete pass, there it's they're going to get the

492
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: ball back with about two twenty to go with a

493
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: timeout and the two point conversion and probably already in

494
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: field goal range, you know, to tie the game with

495
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: Aubrey I if not better than that. So they were

496
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: in great position. Shockingly enough. The CD part, you know,

497
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: he you know, when you put on the eighty eight jersey,

498
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: do you expect that, you know, right, Michael Irvin did

499
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: the same thing as Bryant did the same thing. And

500
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: you know CD, CD gets a pat You're saying CD

501
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: didn't get a pack. He does. He does. You act

502
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: like that, and the next week if he goes has

503
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: a huge game, it's all good. I mean, most of

504
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: the way. I've always thought the best way to shut

505
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: up those guys who want the ball is to give

506
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: them the ball. I mean, that's that's usually what happens,

507
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: and good things happen, it's not I mean, they've earned

508
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: that right. And I'm not saying to show up your

509
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: quarterback and be a disruption or distraction. But you know,

510
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: they want the football, that they want to go make plays.

511
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: They believe that they could go do that, and you

512
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: know that they feel like that there's a better way

513
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: to get this thing done and it's not happening, and

514
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: you know a lot of times that they're right. So

515
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: they do it in different ways, you know, I mean

516
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: they kind of their body language is different than maybe

517
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: it was before. Today's player is a little different. You

518
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: see it in Mike, I see it in Digs, you

519
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: see it in CD. I mean they're all about the

520
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: same age too when you think about it, So it's

521
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: a little different type of reaction. It's still a reaction.

522
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 4: Now.

523
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: If you did catch CD two hands on the ground,

524
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: like beating the ground after a missed play or something,

525
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: or I guess it was a pass interference call. I mean,

526
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: you know that looked like a five year old actually

527
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: didn't get his way, but that it was that kind

528
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: of day. It was that kind of day. Hey CD,

529
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't have a problem with that just

530
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,239
Speaker 1: they got to figure out a way to throw him

531
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: the football. I mean, that's what they got to do.

532
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: They got to figure out a way to get him involved.

533
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: Because of getting him involved helps everybody else make their place.

00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: it says on the sheet. Ray in Grand Rapids, Michigan

564
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: is next.

565
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 18: Hi, Nick, How you doing good?

566
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 3: Good?

567
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 18: Nice to talk to you again. I called once. Yeah,

568
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 18: last year Darren Woodson was on and I talked about

569
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 18: how I knew he would be in the class, and

570
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 18: of course a week later he wasn't, So I'm not

571
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 18: going to do that again, but I am going Can

572
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 18: I deviate and talk about the modern day preliminary list

573
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 18: for the twenty five Hall of Fame class. Okay, okay,

574
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 18: here we go. This is this is I'm pretty passionate

575
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 18: about the nineties and see last year, Mark Stefanowski made

576
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 18: the list, as did Moose and Nate Newton. But the

577
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,239
Speaker 18: latter two are now on the seniors list. And you

578
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 18: know how hard it is. It's much much harder to

579
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 18: make the Hall of Fame once you get thrown on

580
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 18: a senior's pool. It's like old men trying to stay

581
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 18: above the water and the deep bank. Terrible analogy. As

582
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 18: for Mark, how is it that a second team nineties

583
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 18: All Decade member gets overlooked and essentially replaced by guys

584
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 18: who weren't nearly as good. My example is Mark Shall

585
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 18: r s who made this year's prelims. You know, I

586
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 18: bring him up mainly because he played entirely during the

587
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 18: same time step did you know no offense? I like

588
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 18: rs Or as an analyst, but on the field, Claris

589
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 18: would agree he wasn't as good as Stepanowski. Mark had

590
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 18: three more Pro Bowls and two All Pro seasons to

591
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 18: zero for Schleras But the fact that Step anchored one

592
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 18: of the greatest lines, it's not the greatest in NFL history.

593
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 18: Two times Super Bowl champion to boot. If we talk

594
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 18: about the nineties a decade accolade he has as well.

595
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 18: That means one other center during that time period was

596
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 18: considered better than Step, and that's DERMONDI Dawson, who is

597
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 18: in the Hall of Fame. You know, what are they doing?

598
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 18: You can go on a Pro Football Reference and look

599
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 18: at steps as wide receivers, running backs, quarterbacks, skill positions,

600
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 18: and you can make a case, for the most part

601
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 18: for their candidates sea for the Hall of Fame. The

602
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 18: lineman fallbacks you can't. You need to watch the film.

603
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 18: If you're looking at how many first or second team

604
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 18: All Pro a player has, uh, that won't tell you anything.

605
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 18: So I just I just don't understand what they're doing.

606
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 18: That's why a lot of these guys pass away before

607
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 18: they ever get into the Hall of Fame. So now

608
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 18: I'm a passionate nineties Cowboys, the current stuff, the current

609
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 18: state of affarmance of the Cowboys thirty years. You know,

610
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 18: I'm just I'm tired of it, you know. So I'm

611
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 18: I'm all focused, focused on the past. I can't help it,

612
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 18: but I am.

613
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Ray, all right eight eight eight five

614
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: five two two nine seven the number the lines are

615
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: open right now, you know, I guess you can talk

616
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: about whatever we need to the Hall of Fame. You

617
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: know that that's that's a there's twenty something guys on

618
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: that list for Seniors Committee. I guess you could make

619
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: an argument all day long about all of all those guys.

620
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: I think Darren Woodson obviously would be my choice for

621
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: the first one to get in, but yeah, some of

622
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: those nineties guys, they you know, they're probably I mean,

623
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: I could make the case about Nate Newton, and you

624
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: can make a case about a lot of those guys,

625
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: and so they probably hurt each other sometimes when it

626
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: comes to the votes, because there's there's a lot that

627
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: you can pick on those on those lists. All right,

628
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: let's keep this thing going here as we wait for

629
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: phone calls. Unless, Chris, unless there is a phone call.

630
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: Do you have one, Chris, Nope, nope? All right, all right,

631
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: let's let's go back to I'm gonna take a break.

632
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: Actually I do, Stephen New York, Steven News Steven, New York.

633
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: All right, Steve, what's up?

634
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 13: Hey, what's going on?

635
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 16: Down?

636
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 13: Like everybody else? But you know, nothing really happened yesterday

637
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 13: that surprised me. You knew we couldn't run the ball

638
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 13: against this team, and stopping them run was going to

639
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 13: be an issue. But something, you know, popped up. And first,

640
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 13: let me say that this team showed fight and I

641
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 13: have to give them credit for that.

642
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 15: And I don't know, but you were you at the game?

643
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 13: Were you watching?

644
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: Are you talking to me? Steve? Was I at the game?

645
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 10: Yeah?

646
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: I was at the game. Yeah, I was at the game.

647
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 13: Okay, because this is to anybody who was like watching.

648
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 13: At one point in that game, I thought Fox was

649
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 13: going to switch over. This happened like a few years

650
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 13: ago with the Remember the Broncos game was like thirty.

651
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 14: Or nothing or something.

652
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, I thought they were.

653
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 5: Going to switch off the game.

654
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 13: This team fought back. They showed me something. But this

655
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 13: popped up again, and you know it's going under the radar,

656
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 13: But can you tell me why Mike McCarthy went for

657
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 13: two on the first touchdown? Does anybody know.

658
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: That he I wasn't in his press conference, I went

659
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: to the locker room, so I wasn't in the press

660
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: come to what his answer was. I mean, he's done

661
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff before. And you know, I don't

662
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: think anyone had a major problem with it at the

663
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: time because it was like twenty eight to twelve, twenty

664
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,959
Speaker 1: to four team, you know you're going to get back

665
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: in the game. But but but yeah, I mean, I mean, yes,

666
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: it was you know, I write an article on this

667
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: and yeah, I said that too. Did they go too early?

668
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: Because if you looked at it, if you don't do that,

669
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: you know there's a shot that that it's going to

670
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: be twenty eight to twenty.

671
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 13: Right, And I'm listening, right, I know, I'm not saying

672
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 13: that they win the game. I know hindsight is well still,

673
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 13: it's just at the time I looked at my friends

674
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 13: and I'm like, why they you know, why why is

675
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 13: he doing that? Because and I think that's the perfect answer.

676
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 13: He'll never say it because he never thought they were

677
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 13: going to get an on side kick, and then you

678
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 13: know everything else that that transpired after that, and rush

679
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 13: real quick, I'll ask you this. I know it's you know,

680
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 13: the popular answer is the names and who didn't get

681
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 13: in free agency but not being able to run the ball.

682
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 13: What percentage do you put with the guys back there

683
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 13: and the offensive line?

684
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: It's fifty to fifty right down the middle for me

685
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: right now down the middle. The line's not blocking like

686
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: they should. The best back in the league, whoever you

687
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: think the best back is, I don't even know who

688
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: that is. Jonathan Taylor, b John Robinson's takuon part. I

689
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: don't know who it is. But I don't think they

690
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: come in here and just immediately have all this kind

691
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: of success. Dereck Henry who Because the offensive line is

692
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: not without some issues. But I do think the running

693
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: the running backs are not hitting the holes as good

694
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: that I'm seeing the hole as good as they need to.

695
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: They're not making tackles, they don't have the juice. So

696
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: it's both. I mean, it's it's both right now for me.

697
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: As for going for two, I know this. They played

698
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: the Falcons in a game twenty twenty, okay, and they

699
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: were down I think they were down fifteen, and they

700
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: scored to make it down nine with like four minutes

701
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: to go, seven minutes to go, something like that, and

702
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: they went for two. Try to make it seven and

703
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: they missed now water railing kick and all this crazy

704
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: stuff ended up getting the ball winning the game. But

705
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: you know you can make that argument. I personally, I

706
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: don't like going for two until you absolutely need to,

707
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: So I probably wouldn't have there. I would have made

708
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: it twenty eight thirteen yesterday, and then he'd score again

709
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: and it could be twenty eight to twenty. But I'll

710
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: say this, you still needed a two point conversion at

711
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: some point. And if you're going to run that rollout

712
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: short in the field, throw it to the corner and

713
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: hope the pass is perfect and the catch is perfect

714
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,439
Speaker 1: and the feed are and bound perfectly. If you're gonna

715
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: run that two point play that doesn't really matter, then

716
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose twenty eight twenty six. So it you

717
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 1: know you needed a better two point play. I always

718
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 1: like to wait a little bit run on going for two,

719
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: But that's that's just me. All right, Let's go to

720
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: Dylan in Northport, Florida.

721
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 3: Hey, Nix.

722
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,919
Speaker 14: Yeah, I like the call to go for too early

723
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 14: because I like Mike schilosophy on that, the issues and

724
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 14: all that, but I like to know, similar to him,

725
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 14: what you need early as possible. So you know you

726
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 14: need another onside kid or you know, whatever it might be.

727
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 14: At some point you can take that action if needed.

728
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 14: But I get the other side of that as well.

729
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 14: I do have some good news Cowboys when look at

730
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 14: their schedule and they just have the two games left against

731
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 14: really good rushing teams as being San Francisco in Detroit.

732
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 14: I think this game against the Ravens and the game

733
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 14: against the Saints, I just think it was two of

734
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 14: the you know, the best units in the game potentially

735
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 14: as far as running the ball goes against maybe the

736
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 14: weakest unit in the NFL and defending the run. I

737
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 14: know they won't help them if they get to the

738
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,919
Speaker 14: playoffs because they'll play you know, good running teams again

739
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 14: in the playoffs. But for the regular season, I still

740
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 14: see a pass to ten wins. Now, if they go

741
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 14: out and lose against the Giants, have saved the white flag.

742
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 14: It's over. At that point, I'm giving up on the season.

743
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 14: They need both wins against the Giant ban the Commanders

744
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 14: to be competitive in the playoff race, So that's a

745
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 14: big deal there. And then just real quick about the

746
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 14: running backs. We can about running backs all day, but

747
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 14: this inside dolling Steam sucks. But what I would like

748
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 14: to see happen is and I think they might be

749
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 14: going this way just based on what happened in this game.

750
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 10: They had a lot of.

751
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 14: Hunter Litkey in there in passcro doing kind of the

752
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 14: Zeke duties. I'm wondering if potentially we're going to see

753
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 14: Zeke take a seat for Cook. I also wouldn't hate

754
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 14: seeing Duce take a seat for floor Anda. I bring

755
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 14: six receivers, make sure Florna is playing, you know, special

756
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 14: teams take up Duce's role there, and then this role

757
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 14: with the three running backs, Rico.

758
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 10: Lift Key and Cook.

759
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 14: Just want to get your thoughts on that.

760
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I mean they need to thanks for the call, Dylan.

761
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: They they've got to fix this thing, the running back position.

762
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: They got to you know this, this isn't working. What

763
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: what they've done isn't working. They started Zeke, they didn't

764
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 1: really work. They made him the third running back. Nothing,

765
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: nothing really works right now. So so yeah, that we

766
00:36:55,239 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: got a serious problem there. And you know you Signedlvin

767
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: Cook for this reason so you can put it so

768
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: you can put him in there if you need him,

769
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: and you need them, so you need to see what

770
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: he can do. I'm not saying that he's going to

771
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: be the answer, because again, he was on the street

772
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: all summer long, so it doesn't necessarily mean he is

773
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: he's going to be the reason. But but I do

774
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: think that you have to try, and this would be

775
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: a good week to do it. I you know, I've

776
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,720
Speaker 1: said it before. I think I said it on here.

777
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: You know, it's not a short week for him, so

778
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: he's fresh. He should be as fresh as he's going

779
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: to be, So for a game like this, why not

780
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: this would make sense to put him out in this

781
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 1: game and try it. Deuce. I just don't understand if

782
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,760
Speaker 1: you're trying to get him involved. He needs the ball

783
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:46,439
Speaker 1: in space. You think he's a playmaker, so put him

784
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: in the situations where he can do it in space.

785
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: And for the life of me, I just understand why

786
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: they kick the ball to je Ye Thomas. I don't

787
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 1: understand jan Ye Thomas as a safety that's returning kicks.

788
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: They're kicking at him. Every time they have turpin on

789
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: one side. They're not going to kick the turpin. They're

790
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: going to kick it to the other way. It doesn't

791
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: matter if they try to switch it. The last second whatever.

792
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: The kickers know how to directional kick and they kick

793
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: it right at wan Ye Thomas, who is a backup

794
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: safety who does not return, have the ball in his

795
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: hands a lot, and he's not doing anything on the

796
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: kick return. And if you want to put, if you

797
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: think Deuce can do something on defense, then why couldn't

798
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: he do something in space and kick return. I don't know,

799
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that one. All right,

826
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: How are you?

827
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 3: I'm good? You know I was gonna you know, I

828
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 3: know the team has a lot of problems other than this,

829
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 3: but I felt like in the summer when they had

830
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 3: a chance to maybe get Derrick Henry or Barkley, when

831
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 3: I saw I was rooting against Philly earlier and saw

832
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 3: him break that sixty yarder, and it made me so angry,

833
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 3: and I thought we'd go into this this season without

834
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 3: a running back, and I felt like we were led

835
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 3: through everybody to be all excited because we got Zeke

836
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 3: Elliott back, like, oh now we're going to win a

837
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 3: super Bowl. We got Zeke back. It's so frustrating. I

838
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 3: feel like when they got beat by Green Bay, all

839
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 3: those everybody forgot about all our problems and then we

840
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 3: kind of went with a hype, Oh to beat Cleveland,

841
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 3: and that kind of makes me feel like New Orleans

842
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 3: is really when they played Philly, Philly played him and

843
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 3: then Derek Carr with who he really is, and Philly

844
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 3: just beat New Orleans, just beat Cowboys in Carolina, two

845
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 3: crummy teams. We watch what they do the rest of

846
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 3: the year, we'll see that's kind of where it is

847
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 3: more about the running back. So I just feel like

848
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 3: by bringing Zeke back, Jerry Jones tall like, oh now

849
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 3: everybody's happy again. We got Zeke.

850
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: And I don't think so. You think I don't think so.

851
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: I honestly think Jerry. I think Jerry wanted one of

852
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: those two guys you just mentioned, Uh, to be honest

853
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: with you, Yeah, I mean I I that's those are

854
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: the kind of players Jerry likes to get now, yes,

855
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: he has a you know, he loves Zeke and he

856
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: always will and all that, but you know, they had

857
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 1: to they have a cap situation that is that is

858
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: it's hard to explain and it's hard to realize, and

859
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: fans don't even want to hear it because I've been

860
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: saying it. People have been saying it. But there's a

861
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: lot of people that think, Eh, it's like the NBA,

862
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: you can just kind of fudge the cap whatever you need,

863
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, we'll just push it next year. They've

864
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: been pushing. They've been pushing, and and they they've they've

865
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: really they're not in a situation to go and get

866
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: some of those guys that you wanted. I think that,

867
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, they could have somehow made it work, but

868
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 1: it was gonna be really problematic. Next year is gonna

869
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 1: be even worse. So they tried to to bargain shop

870
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: there and then they did bargain shop. They didn't try

871
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 1: That's what they That's what they did. But yeah, I mean,

872
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: I think I think Cherry obviously wanted guys like that.

873
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's who we tried to get. I'm

874
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 1: just saying that that's kind of what he wanted, so

875
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,439
Speaker 1: it you know, it's a it's a collective decisions on

876
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: on what they do on the team. And you know,

877
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: it's and and as for the the Saints and the

878
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: Eagles and all that, I mean, like, yeah, I mean,

879
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: and you figured that the Saints weren't going to just be,

880
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, the best team in the league. They they

881
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: got it going and they what they do certainly hurts

882
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 1: what the Cowboys do. Now the Eagles play it differently.

883
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: The Eagles have Eagles look at who they've drafted. I mean,

884
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: they they're getting they're getting these big defensive linemen from Georgia,

885
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: right and they and they're they're dominating the middle, and

886
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 1: and the Saints can't go and play that way, so

887
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: the edges aren't aren't the same. When you can't get

888
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: anything in the middle, linebackers can run to the edge.

889
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: It's you know, I think I think Philly's defenses is

890
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: pretty good and and and better equipped to go up

891
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: against the Saints. So I'm not worried necessarily on how

892
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: that that that'll be. I mean, the Cowboys and Eagles

893
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,720
Speaker 1: when they face, it'll be a completely different type of game.

894
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: But but yeah, I mean, I didn't I thought, I

895
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: thought it was concerning that you lost to the Saints

896
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: and Derek Carr that way because he is who he is,

897
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 1: and same with Kamara. And then you know, what goes

898
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: up comes down, and they'll probably be an above average team,

899
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 1: maybe better than that, but we'll we'll see how how

900
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 1: they how they looked at year nothing against the Saints.

901
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying it was. It was a it was a

902
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: concerning loss. Probably you know, a lot more concerning about

903
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: what happened week two than what happened yesterday in Week three.

904
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 1: But if you combine them together, now you've got real

905
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: issues here. All right, Pete in Connecticut.

906
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 12: Hey, Nick, how are you today?

907
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: Good? How are you doing?

908
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 6: Good?

909
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 3: Man?

910
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 12: I just want to say, I think this team is

911
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 12: one of those teams that's gonna pull it together. And

912
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 12: I don't think the sky's falling down and everything, and

913
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 12: I believe that the team's going to come together and

914
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 12: our fans shouldn't worry until we're about six losses this season.

915
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 12: I think we're going to end up with five losses

916
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 12: in total, but I think our defense will figure it out,

917
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,439
Speaker 12: and Deck and CD need to just work a little

918
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 12: bit more because a lot of guys got to think.

919
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 12: We haven't none of these guys playing the preseason, and

920
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 12: I think, you know, it's starting to show that they

921
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 12: need to play a driver to at least in the

922
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 12: final two preseason games. All righty, thank you for taking

923
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 12: my call.

924
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I thought about that actually driving in today,

925
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: I thought I thought the same thing about I wonder

926
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: if we're going to get to the point where coaches

927
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: or are going to kind of push back and say,

928
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: you know, we we these guys have to play, so,

929
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, and and it's hard to make that argument

930
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: if if like last year, you know, the first game

931
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: of the season against the Giant forty to nothing, looks

932
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 1: like the defense was fine, looks like the offense they

933
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: did what they needed to do and scored it off

934
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: and Cleveland this year, you know, defense looked fine, you know,

935
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: not playing. So but I get your point, and that

936
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:22,359
Speaker 1: all sounds great until that number two receiver or they're

937
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: running back or your offensive tackle you know, has a

938
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: high ankle spring or torn acl and you know you're like,

939
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: why was he even in the game, And you know

940
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: that's going to happen. So you can't have it both ways.

941
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: And we've been there, all right, But I like the

942
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 1: optimism about that they're going to figure it out. Five

943
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: losses sounds really good at this point with with when

944
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: you already have two at home, when you're zero and

945
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: two at home, yeah, you know, I mean that's what

946
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: they won sixteen in a row or something like that

947
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: at home and then now and then they lost three

948
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: straight at a C and C stadium. All right, Erwin

949
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:57,800
Speaker 1: and Denver.

950
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 8: Hey, Mick, what's going on?

951
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: Are you.

952
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:03,240
Speaker 6: Could be better?

953
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 8: I just you know, you know, when you watch these

954
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 8: kind of games, it's like taking a cold, old bitter

955
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 8: drink of coffees. You just spit out of your mouth.

956
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 3: You know.

957
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,280
Speaker 8: It's the safe stuff. Every week when they're playing good teams,

958
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,919
Speaker 8: they just can't seem to beat the good teams. They

959
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 8: do good enough to beat them, like the Giants and

960
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 8: the Redskins, and they get enough good, good enough record

961
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 8: to get into the playoffs, and we all know how

962
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 8: that's been ending, and then they end up picking in

963
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,320
Speaker 8: the late twenties. It's every year. It's the safe stuff.

964
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 8: I just want to get your thoughts and what do

965
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 8: you think about them?

966
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 13: Go on?

967
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 8: With the young innovative coaching staff, it just seems very

968
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 8: old and just out of touch with the with the

969
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 8: schemes of today, and I'll let you go. Thanks for

970
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 8: taking my call.

971
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,959
Speaker 1: All right, thank you? Yeah, I mean you can say

972
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: that and then all so, but like it'd be one

973
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 1: thing if you're just getting you know, torched around with

974
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,919
Speaker 1: these new innovative offenses. But it's the running game. It's

975
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: it's like running you know, off tackle and right up

976
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: the middle. So like, yeah, you can say these new

977
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: offenses are crushing them, but what really what has done?

978
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: What has these two teams done in the last weeks.

979
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 1: That's like so different and new, that's changed everything. You know,

980
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: it can't stop like off tackle and and pitch left.

981
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: I mean seriously, that's that's what I get your point,

982
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: and you may not be wrong, but right now what

983
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,720
Speaker 1: I'm seeing is basic stuff that they just can't stop.

984
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: That's what's scary to me. We got to keep it going.

985
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,399
Speaker 1: Rob in Vegas, Rob, this can't be a normal Rob

986
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: call because we got to be quick. Rob, what's up?

987
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 5: You got it? This is all due to the front

988
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 5: office dysfunction. You got a substitute teacher as a head coach.

989
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 5: You know what happened when you had a substitute teacher

990
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 5: in school. Uh, the place that get crazy. You invest

991
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 5: two hundred and forty million dollars in a quarterback and

992
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 5: then you surround him with nothing, a rookie left tackle

993
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 5: who's learning on the job, running backs that wouldn't start

994
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 5: on any team. You got a defense that so often

995
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 5: you allowed your defensive vent Michael Parsons to play at

996
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 5: two forty instead of saying, yo, you need to get

997
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 5: up to at least to sixty five because that that

998
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 5: crap that he's going to move around. Now he's ninety

999
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 5: percent at defensive event. And and then you got your

1000
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 5: thirty four million dollar wide receiver act like a big

1001
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,879
Speaker 5: baby like you said on the sideline, because I.

1002
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: Didn't say that, well, I did say that, yeah, it

1003
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 1: was a child. I did actually say that. He's acting

1004
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: like a little kid. Yeah, just with that. But you

1005
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 1: know what, I'm fine with him. If he wants candy,

1006
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 1: give him candy, because he's pretty good.

1007
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 5: At well, you can't you can't act like that.

1008
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: You can't act like that. You can't act like that.

1009
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: But but he his frustration is warranted because he needs

1010
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: the football. But part of it's on him as well.

1011
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: I get it. I'm not. I'm not at all.

1012
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 5: And you can't fix this. You cannot fix this is culture,

1013
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 5: this is will. You cannot fix that. You cannot make

1014
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 5: this team a better run stopper because they don't have

1015
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 5: the will to do it. They don't enjoy it. You

1016
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 5: can't fix Mica being at two hundred and forty pounds

1017
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 5: where they just allow him to do whatever he wants. No,

1018
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,280
Speaker 5: he should have been heavier. Dak you knew he needs helpy.

1019
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 5: Dak is not great, He's very good. He's not Mahomes.

1020
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 5: You knew he needs a running game. He plays better

1021
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 5: with that. They didn't do any of it.

1022
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 15: Now.

1023
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's because Jerry said, you know what,

1024
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 5: I'm paying you to highest, I'm paying you to highest.

1025
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:45,399
Speaker 5: Figure it out. I don't know, but it's just dysfunctioning.

1026
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 5: Do I think they'll beat the Giants?

1027
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 14: Yeah?

1028
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 5: Probably, But I said it. If you can't beat good teams,

1029
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 5: you're going to probably end up with eight losses. You're

1030
00:49:56,360 --> 00:50:00,479
Speaker 5: not going anywhere because teams would be stupid to throw

1031
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 5: the ball. Even the Colla said Dandrel Jones should play

1032
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 5: running backs this week. You held Lamar Jackson, I don't

1033
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 5: think that best tight end how to catch. I think

1034
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 5: he's through the ball, okay, but now they don't have

1035
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 5: the will on defense and the offensive line. Jack Martin

1036
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 5: isn't playing good at all. Steel's been horrible. Bebe's the

1037
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 5: best one, him and Tyler Smith. Guyton, you know he's

1038
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 5: a left tacker. We talked about it. He's going to struggle,

1039
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 5: and that's what I didn't understand. The most important guy

1040
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 5: on the offensive line, with a sixty million dollars a

1041
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 5: year quarterback. The team is just built bad. Unfortunately, I

1042
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,799
Speaker 5: don't think you'll fix it this year. They'll blow it up,

1043
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 5: bringing a head coach and we're gonna have to start.

1044
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: All over.

1045
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 15: All.

1046
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 1: Right, too much to discuss on that, so I'll just

1047
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,959
Speaker 1: leave it at that. We'll we'll hit hit back later

1048
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: and talk. I'm sure I've heard all those points before

1049
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 1: by Rob, so I'm sure he'll say him again. All right.

1050
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: For everybody that's called in a good show, thanks for

1051
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,720
Speaker 1: keeping it clean, even though I'm sure your frustrations wanted

1052
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: you to say other things. I hear it, and I

1053
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: appreciate it. We'll be back tomorrow. It'll be our last

1054
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: show really before we go to New York. So we'll

1055
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 1: still talk about the Ravens, but we'll try to shift

1056
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: forward and talk about the Giants as well. All Right,

1057
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: for Chris Beam, I'm Nick Keatman. We'll see you tomorrow on

1058
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys storyline.

1059
