If he is, it's exactly right, because there's 14 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: no one as committed to this show as Brian brought us. 15 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: Wouldn't you say no, I'd say, Mickey's pretty close. Yeah. 16 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,839 Speaker 1: But when you're doing when you're writing scoutside, you gotta 17 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: make sure your eyes are good and checked and the 18 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: vision is good. And that's where he's at right now. Okay, 19 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: the eye doctor. He couldn't change it and hopefully he's 20 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: back by the end of the show. We'll see. Okay, 21 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: he plans to be here, So we turned the halfway 22 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: house into the three quarters House for now. Was he 23 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 1: having trouble with his eyes or I just think it's 24 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 1: a regular checkup, nothing, nothing to be armed about. Yeah. 25 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: I think he's fine. We're all healthy. You're healthy. I 26 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: am healthy. People questioning his eyesight when it comes to 27 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: some players or watching tape, right, where's out exactly? Yeah, 28 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: that's that could be a problem. You can understand that 29 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: part of the gig. Yeah, that's right. This is my 30 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: eye appointment. I guess I can miss talking cowboys if 31 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: I have an eye important. Oh boy, I'm just joking. 32 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: Oh god, all right, No, I have one coming up. Okay, Yeah, 33 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: I've put off mine. I'm I've been getting I've getting 34 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: text messages from my IDA. Well, you know, here's the deal. 35 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I wear glasses to read, right, So I 36 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: go in every year and I know what they're gonna 37 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 1: tell me, Well, yeah, your eyes aren't getting any better. 38 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: It's like, I don't need you to tell me that 39 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,399 Speaker 1: they told you cataract surgery. No, they have not told 40 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: me that you've told me that. Really, Yeah, it's a 41 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: cataractor glaucoma. Cataract glaucoma surgery. You guys aren't that old. 42 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: It happened because, yeah, you start not seeing well at night. 43 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: I haven't really noticed that. I just wait for a 44 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: regular check up. And he said, you know what, we 45 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: probably you'd probably need to have cataract surgery because I've 46 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: always wanted to do the laser. I'll wark contacts, right, 47 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: And Ninny tells me it's just I mean, I wouldn't 48 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: even need contacts anymore, so why not get it done. 49 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: Then I talked to all these other people. They've have 50 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: had it done. It's no problem, you know, But I 51 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: just haven't done it, you know. Yeah, he said that 52 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: at some point it'll be You'll just wake up one 53 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: day and it's you'll be I don't know if it's 54 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: is it cloud over? Yeah? Exactly how how it works. 55 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: And then I'm told that when you're driving, like at night, 56 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: the I drive at night a lot, the lights, the 57 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: lights coming at you, it starts glaring like it's not clear, 58 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: and that's kind of an idea that it's coming out 59 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: like driving drunk. Well, I don't know about that, not 60 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: that I do that. It's the same effect. Yeah, maybe 61 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 1: we're not all that healthy on this show. I mean, 62 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: you know what, you know what, young Rob over there, 63 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: this is what you have to look forward to, you 64 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: know what. The trainers, The trainers have all He's told 65 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: me that. You you know, when they check somebody's back 66 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: and they got a little something wrong, he goes, you 67 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: know what, if I checked your back, I probably find 68 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: you know, nine out of ten people have something wrong 69 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: that they don't know, and you just kind of live 70 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, it's like you're you're you're spine, you know, 71 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: the curvage, you know, not right, And if you don't 72 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: know about it, that's that's because you don't think about it. 73 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: Then that's so it makes it worse when you think 74 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: about it. Like I haven't thought about cataract surgery in 75 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: a year and I've been just fine. So if I 76 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: just quit thinking about it, that I won't need it.

Yet? 97 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: That that's why I figured we didn't need football football 98 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: talk today? Um? What did she say? I'm learning so 99 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: much about football thanks to Dad's podcast.

It's my favorite thing. Okay, all right, 104 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: all right, who's got a report from practice yesterday? Rob Phillips, 105 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: does you want to pass it over to me? And 106 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: then that information? Uh, there were a couple guys limited 107 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: in the game and the practice. Jeff Heath, why don't 108 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: you pass it to me and I'll do it Beasley, 109 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: I'll just go ahead and do it here since I 110 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: wrote the update. MALIEK. Collins, Travis Frederick, of course, Shawn 111 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: Lee not practicing. Don't expect Sean to play in this game. 112 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: Not sure about Malik uh Cole Beasley limited, Jeff Heath limited, 113 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: Antoine Woods has a groin injury. Their new defensive tackle. 114 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: He was limited, DeMarcus Lawrence Xavier Woods full. So I 115 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: think and I think they feel pretty good about Jeff 116 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: Heath playing this game too. Um, he's just trying to 117 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 1: be He's a football player. He's a football players playing football. 118 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: I think he's trying to up his workload as the 119 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: week goes on. I think that's right. That's what he said, 120 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: that Wednesday is not a good day, but by Sunday 121 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: it becomes good. He said he got his ankles stepped on, 122 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: so it's more of a bruise than a sprain, it 123 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: sounds like. And he came back and finished the game, 124 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,679 Speaker 1: so he said, yesterday, yeah, I mean he was limited. 125 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: I saw him when they were doing drills and he 126 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: was just kind of watching. But he'll be there, don't 127 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: you worry about that. Layton Vanderesh had about forty media 128 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: members around his locker yesterday, which happens to be right 129 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: next to Sean Lee's. He's not sure if that was 130 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: by design, that was no, let's assured. There's a reason 131 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: that you're next to Shawn Lee. He must not have 132 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: read my mix shot last week when I pointed that out, 133 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: and it's like, this didn't just have Yeah, that's not coincident. 134 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: Now there's a locker in between him, right, Yeah, But 135 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: that's Sean's benefit. You know, if you're one of the captains, 136 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: are the big vets on this team, you kind of 137 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: get a break. You get an extra locker because you 138 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: can have a big group around you for interviews. There 139 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: you go. That's the sole reason they do that. Yeah, right, 140 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: the only reason. Yeah, I don't know. I think, uh, 141 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: I don't have a feel for Sean right now, but 142 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: I don't this week. I don't think looks good. And well, 143 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: I can tell you rather definitively that it's not looking 144 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: good for this week. Yeah. I've been missus at least 145 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: two games, he asked Jason Garrett during the Well, you'll 146 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: see it on the Jason Garrett Show, and normally we 147 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: don't discuss injuries whatever, but I mean everybody's day to day. 148 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: He basically said that, yeah, we'll be without Sean this week. Yeah. Yeah, 149 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: what you can hear that Saturday night is Saturday Night eleven. 150 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: It gets posted on Dallas Cowboys dot com as well, 151 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: so it's no secret. And and the gist of the 152 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 1: question was, you're better fortified at that position now. They 153 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 1: feel better about it knowing that if they probably were 154 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: going to face this at some point during this season, 155 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: because it's happened every year. Well, and I think that 156 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 1: was the impetus for using that first round draft choice 157 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: on LVE. You know, it's like, Okay, we need a 158 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: more depth at this linebacker spot, and I think they 159 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: acquired it, but not only with him, but Joe Thomas too, 160 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: And of course they were also filling the loss of 161 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: Anthony Hitchenses. Yeah, absolutely, you know, and they you know. 162 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: And and the other good thing is is I think 163 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: Jalen Smith's more qualified now. And that's the first thing 164 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: that Jason said is he talked about Jaylen Smith being 165 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 1: more qualified to be able to fill those shoes. Now 166 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: it's a matter of who's going to fill his leadership shoes. 167 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: Who's going to fill the shoes that says, Okay, we're 168 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: in zone coverage here, Cavan, you know, make sure you're 169 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: deep here when the guy gets past you not have 170 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: a fifty two yard coverage bust like they did against Seattle. 171 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: And those are the things I think Sean, you know, 172 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: brings to the table more than anything else. Now, drive 173 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: or whatever it was. After the Cowboys pulled within striking 174 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: distance in the late third quarter of that game and 175 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: Lee was not on the feet, Yeah, exactly, somebody's got 176 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: to take charge. And I don't expect it to be 177 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: vander Esh. Yeah you think so, and and you probably 178 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 1: we talked about this yesterday the difference without Sean and there, 179 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: I mean, Anthony Hitchens is a guy that got paid 180 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: a lot of money to go somewhere else and be 181 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: a starter, And there was a difference when he was 182 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: the point man instead of Sean Lee. So it just 183 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: shows you kind of he's a rare guy in terms 184 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: of his instincts and his preparation. But I was impressed 185 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: listening to vander Esh in terms of just kind of 186 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: tell you can tell he's a serious guy. And his 187 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: teammates talk about it too. He sounded confident. Yeah, you know, 188 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: if I'm out there and that's my job, I'm speaking up. 189 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: You know. You can you can see it the way 190 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: they play on the field too, how quickly they react. 191 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: And I've see that with Layton vander Esh. His instincts 192 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: out there. He's reading things, uh, you know, getting better 193 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: and better all the time. But for a rookie just 194 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: watching him and even to be in position to make 195 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: eleven tackles in a game, you've got to be reading 196 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: and reacting, especially when it's one out of three snow 197 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: apps you're in, I mean, thirty three snaps and he 198 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: makes eleven stops. It's pretty darn good average of course, 199 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: Sean Lee had about eleven on that first time he tied, 200 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: he had eleven two and he basically they bought played 201 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,719 Speaker 1: the same amount of snaps. I think it was the 202 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: other thing. Vanderesh was out there the second series of 203 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: the game. Sean was not out there the second series, 204 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: and it was it was vander Esh and Jalen Smith 205 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: out there, and so they were. And I don't know 206 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: if if it was by design just because of the 207 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,359 Speaker 1: hamstring that he was already dealing with the right hamstring 208 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: right that they were planning on having Vanderesh out there 209 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: the second series of the game, or something cropped up. 210 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: But yeah, um but anyway, I um boy, there's one 211 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: play if you go back and look at the coaches 212 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: film with a Lee and we see it, We've seen 213 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: it throughout his career. He it was a it was 214 00:11:54,840 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: a play fake to the left offenses left side. He 215 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: goes over there and basically was in position to make 216 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: the tackle there, and then they tossed it right and 217 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: he got all the way back over to the other 218 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: side of the field and made the tackle over there. 219 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 1: He basically made two He tackled two running backs or 220 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 1: on one play. I mean it was amazing. Sean. Yeah. Yeah, 221 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: he tackled the fake guy, fake guy, and he got 222 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: over about twenty five yards over and made the other tackle. 223 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 1: And there was a player vanderes for about one yard game. 224 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, yeah, vander Esh can show you that too, 225 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: his ability to go across the field. He did that 226 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: in the game against Seattle. He did another. He just 227 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: he does have all the tools. I mean, Will Disley, 228 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: there's their young tight end trying to block him, just 229 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: tossing him aside, shedding that block, getting a tackle behind 230 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Plus look at his frame and 231 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: you can see you can just see how he's gonna 232 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: fill out in an NFL weight room. Just got to 233 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 1: make sure he stays healthy. Yeah. Absolutely, And that's kind 234 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 1: of the other impressive thing about it, um And I 235 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: asked him about it, just the fact, I mean, the 236 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: guy missed two two and a half weeks a training 237 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: camp at the end for a rookie not in there, 238 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: and then out out there doing a lot of the offseasons. Man, 239 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: did he play in a preseason game. He played in 240 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: the first one, the first one, I don't know if 241 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: he played in the last. He certainly didn't play in 242 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: the last one. He didn't play in the last Yeah, 243 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: he might have only played in the opener. So yeah, 244 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: he you know, give him credit for staying ready and 245 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: staying on his keys. And now, I mean he might 246 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: play fifty snaps in this game. We'll just have to see. 247 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: I think he's a serious football player. Ye. He's got 248 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,719 Speaker 1: a good mentor right next to him, and Sean Lee 249 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 1: stays invested in it even when he is injured, and 250 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: which he pointed out too, It's like Sean might not 251 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: be there, but he's there with us and he's grind. 252 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: And that's one of the things, you know, because I 253 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: was the president of the Shan Lee fan club, but 254 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: before he was drafted, here were you and he was 255 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 1: in the he was in the greenbinder. It's very highly 256 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: I discovered him. I got two linebackers that year and 257 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: twenty ten, about two weeks before the draft, and I 258 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: discovered him. And back the way I'd do it a 259 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: lot of times. It's just I try to find out 260 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: as much information about the player as I can. And 261 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 1: Penn State had a great video out there on Sean 262 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: Lee when he was hurt, and it would showed him 263 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: he basically was an extra coacher coach on their staff. Yes, yes, 264 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: And so I'm reading all this stuff about it, and 265 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: then I see visual evidence of how and how he 266 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: cared about the team and he's he's like a coach 267 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: on the field. And then his measurables measured up and 268 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: then you look at it come by workout and you're 269 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: going wow. I mean, this was a first round talent, 270 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: but he had the injury issue and that's why he 271 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: slid to the to the second round. But it was 272 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: that video of him coaching up the Penn State players 273 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: where I said, that's the right kind of guy right there, 274 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: and this is the guy. In fact, I was in 275 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: favor of taking him in. Of course, they took Dez 276 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: in the first round, and I didn't think Dez would 277 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: fall all the way to twenty five or whatever it was. 278 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: I was in favor of taking shin Lee in the 279 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: first round. I was so much on him at that time. 280 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: But that is what he's all about, and so when 281 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: he when he has been hurt in his career, he 282 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: is invested in teaching. Whoever is backup is everything and 283 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: the people he plays alongside. You know, it was interesting 284 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: last night we had walk Garrison on the Cowboys Legend Show, 285 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: and he was talking about Don Perkins, who of course 286 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: is in the Ring of Honor, and uh, you know, 287 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: back then, the fullback carried the football. He was a 288 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: primary running back as well, but he also had to 289 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: block and everything. And Walt was talking about perk um 290 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: and couldn't catch a cold called in a blizzard. That's 291 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: why Walk got an opportunity to play on third downs. 292 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: But his point was Perk taught him how to play 293 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: fullback in the National Football League. He said he learned 294 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: a lot more from Don Perkins than he did Tom 295 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: Landry about playing in the in the National Football League, 296 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: and he said in Walt said, he asked Perk one time, 297 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: he said, why are I'm your backup? I'm trying to 298 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: take your job. Why are you teaching me? I said, well, 299 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: because it's for the good of the team. I want 300 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: to win and I want you to be as prepared 301 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: as possible if I go down. Yeah, also says a 302 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: lot about Don Perkins confidence in his own ability. Then no, 303 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: rookie's going to come in here and take my spot. 304 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: But he wants to, and so Walk. When Robert Newhouse 305 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: came along in the seventies. Walk Garrison was the guy 306 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: that he could because he had learned from Perkins, this 307 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: is what you do. This is the Cowboys way, so 308 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: to speak. Yeah, to teach your underling, you know, how 309 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: to do this job, kind of pay it forward and try. Yeah. 310 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: And it was always He's told that story so many 311 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: times about like why are you doing this? I want 312 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: to beat you out, you know, and yeah, and and 313 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: and it's kind of interesting because he was pointing out 314 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: when you come out of college in those days, he 315 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: didn't know anything about blocking schemes or different you know, 316 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: things that they had to do. And it's like Perk 317 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: would tell them, you know, and uh, yeah, it's kind 318 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: of a great life lesson, you know. Mickey Spagnola did 319 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: the same to a young Robin fill Ye about fourteen 320 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: years ago. When did you first start working here? The 321 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: first time around? I interned um Sells first hand with 322 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: you on that little computer on topic Cowboys had.

Cowboys channels kind 421 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: of back. I don't know if the listener knows that. 422 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: But we have an app on connected TV that you 423 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,239 Speaker 1: download and we've got a twenty four seven channel there 424 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: that's basically all the time.

I guess I need a new TV. Huh. 432 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: And the you know what caused the demise of the 433 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: original Cowboys channel US NFL network NFL Network. That's true. 434 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: Jerry was ahead of the ballgame, had had his own channel, 435 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: and then NFL Network came along and slapped his hands 436 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: yep and said, nope, local the the individual teams could 437 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: not have their own channel. I think what he because 438 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: I think US Atlanta and maybe one other team had 439 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: done the same thing and they told them, you know, 440 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 1: why would you have create competition for your own channel? 441 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: Because they were saying the owners owned NFL network. Because 442 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: we have figured out since then on the college level 443 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: that it does not work to have a one of 444 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: the individual institutions have their own networks instead of the 445 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 1: league having a network. Has it even helped the individual 446 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: institution in order to no comment comment? Okay, I've got 447 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: are you concerned about the injuries the defensive tackle at all? 448 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 1: And with Dayton Jones going on injured reserve, of course, 449 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,439 Speaker 1: the Cowboys signed Karan Read as you pointed out, he 450 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: better be ready to go because if even if Woods 451 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: is limited on Antoine Woods, uh, you know they're gonna 452 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 1: need him be good to go when you hope he's 453 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 1: in good enough shaped at least give you twenty some snaps. 454 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: And of course the Cowboys had him in the preseason 455 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: late in the preseason, right, and this is a guy 456 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: that a lot of people probably haven't heard of that much. Oh, 457 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: let's have a drum roll.

Tom Pellacero has a report that the Browns 491 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: increase defensive tackle Brian Prices practice squad salary from the 492 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: minimum seventy six hundred dollars to thirty seven thousand dollars 493 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: a week, which is like six hundred and ninety thousand 494 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 1: dollars a year after the Cowboys and Packers tried to 495 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 1: poach him. Her sources, Price played for both teams, of 496 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: course previously, as well as the Raiders, So Browns have 497 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 1: come a long way. Huh. Yeah, Brown's holding players. They're 498 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: keeping guys in their practice squad rather than an active 499 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: roster somewhere else. Somebody brought that up. Why didn't the 500 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: guy Cowboys go after Price? And it's like they did? Yeh. 501 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: Price wasn't right. Yeah for him, it was. He got 502 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: some and he was just let go by the Raiders. 503 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: Last week. He was signed to Cleveland's practice squad, So 504 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: the opportunity was there last week, but the Cowboys didn't 505 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: have as much of a need until Daytone Jones got 506 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: hurt on Sunday. Cleveland keeps getting in the way. Yeah. 507 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: You know, some people may say, Okay, Darius Jackson, they 508 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: coach Yeah last year, Yeah, some might say, okay, well, 509 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: why even though they increased his pay, and the increased 510 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,719 Speaker 1: it a lot. I mean that six hundred ninety thousand dollars, 511 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: it's like a veteran minimum, the veteran minimum down and 512 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: so but people may say, okay, yeah, but he's still 513 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: on their practice squad. Why would he not take the 514 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: opportunity to be on the active roster for the Cowboys 515 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: or the Packers. And this is a guy who's now 516 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: bounced around from the Packers. He was a waiver claimed 517 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: by the Cowboys. Cowboys are lazing. He goes to the Raiders, 518 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: now Brown's practice squad and even not from Okay, they've 519 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: they've not only matched what he would make for the 520 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: Cowboys on the active roster, they've exceeded it to some extent. 521 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: And for him, you know, since he's been a nomad, 522 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: you know, bouncing around the league, and he feel like 523 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: that they are investing in him. It from his perspective, 524 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: and a lot of players might have the same thinking that, Okay, 525 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: they are committed to me. If I go to the Cowboys, 526 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: I've got to be on their active roster for four weeks, 527 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,719 Speaker 1: three weeks, three weeks, but then three weeks from now, 528 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: I may be out on the street a game, especially 529 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: when they've got well, I don't know if they would 530 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: get rid of him. But you know, okay, if I 531 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: could circle back all the things you're saying, Bill, why 532 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: would he not take the accrude season? You know, why 533 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: would you not take the opportunity of the party if 534 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: you're thinking about free agency in the future and benefits 535 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: to me, I would go weeks? Do you have to 536 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: be he gets six to be a crude season? So, 537 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: like you said, he's not guaranteed even if he's signed 538 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: to an active roster to get in a crude season here. Yeah, 539 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: but you have a chance to have a shot at it. 540 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: But on the practice. But he probably already acquired three 541 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: weeks because he was let go. Well maybe they were 542 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: at least two weeks. Maybe his agent was worried that 543 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: when David Irving became eligible next week. Part of the 544 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: part of the guarantee from the Browns is probably that 545 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: by a certain point of the season, we are going 546 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,239 Speaker 1: to put you on the active roster or he's going 547 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: to figure out that he needs to go get that 548 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: accrude season somewhere else. Right, you know, if they at 549 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: a certain point whatever that whatever cut off a weeks 550 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: that he needs then Yeah, so that makes a lot 551 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: of sense to me. I mean, I just couldn't imagine 552 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: giving up a year just so you could beat now 553 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: the travel and all that. I get that, and then 554 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: good for John Dorsey to hold the player there. I 555 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: really liked Karan Reid. I don't know if you how 556 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: you guys got into some conversations. I thought the last 557 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: couple of games that he played, he was pretty good. 558 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: I mean, especially in that Houston game. I know Brad 559 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: Sham and I called his name quite a bit, and 560 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: he's going to have to play that one technique because 561 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: that's that seems to be where they're having the bit 562 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: of the struggle right now. Even the guy Christian Ringo 563 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: is who they signed yesterday. I heard some whispers that 564 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: Christian Christian Ringo got some work with the Seconds yesterday. 565 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: So that just shows you that they're kind of in 566 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: a little bit of a dire straits as far as 567 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: the depth in there at that one technique. Well, Collins 568 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: is not playing, Yeah, Collins is, Yeah, Collins is Collins. Yeah, 569 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: Collins doesn't miss games, but he did he missed a 570 00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: game last week. And you know they're trying to get 571 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: him healthy, get him back. But you know, David Irving 572 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: returns next week. But what is David Irving? He's your 573 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: three right, right, So you know they they've got it. 574 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: They've got some issues that they're having to deal with 575 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: right now. As far as you know, they have to 576 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: figure out. I don't trying to figure out here. Who 577 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,719 Speaker 1: might you know you have to let somebody go for Irving? 578 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: Do you do it? Defense is Daniel Ross? You know? Maybe? 579 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. We got seventeen receivers, which now we 580 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: can figure that asked, no questions, No, I'm I'm making 581 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: a joke about that. That's but but you're right, Mackey, 582 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: you're you're you're thinking, you know, you're thinking defensive tackles, 583 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: and you know you're gonna get one back next week. 584 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: But it just doesn't help you at the one technique 585 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: right now because you don't. It's really it's if MALIEK. 586 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: Collins was healthy, you know, then maybe you could kind 587 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: of get by and stuff with Reid. Reid's a veteran player. 588 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: I think he'll do just fine. That was all I 589 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: was gonna say. I think when he walked in people 590 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: don't know much about him, but he has started games 591 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: in this league. He has, so he's a guy I 592 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: think you could plug in. And the thing about the 593 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: Houston game, Jason Garrett never says specifically this player stood 594 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: out in the game. To me, he never does that, 595 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: like to compare players, and he doesn't usually give praise 596 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: to players. But he did that. Should say the praise 597 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: of with the the preseason game. Did that after he game? Well, 598 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: he was super active in that game. Yea. And I 599 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: mean if you can get you know, you know, last 600 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: week was really the opportunity I felt like to kind 601 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: of take advantage of some inside players. This week will 602 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: be a little bit different challenge because you know, I 603 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: wrote about this for Day Today for dallascatways dot com. 604 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: The matchups. Keep an eye on Crawford playing the three 605 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: or the undertackle playing against Frank Ragnoll, who is the 606 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: rookie from Arkansas. Bill. I don't know. You might have 607 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: seen him play in some games in college and stuff, 608 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: a center by trade playing guard, but he's one of 609 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: those belly to belly blockers I like to talk about 610 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 1: that gets real close. Crawford's quickness will give this guy 611 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: some problems. So if they can attack, if you want 612 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: a little bit of an area, you know, and now 613 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: you have a little defensive line concern, but if you 614 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: want some positivity, Crawford inside against Frank Ragnow I think 615 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: would be one of those things to keep an eye 616 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: on because if he could be disruptive, you gotta do 617 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: something about this. This Lions. And it's hard for me 618 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: to say it's their running game with with with carry 619 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: On Johnson now run their ability that looks like for 620 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: one week they kind of said, Okay, we need to 621 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: run the ball, we need to be better at it. 622 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: You know, you're gonna need some guys to get up 623 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: the field and be a little bit disruptive. And maybe 624 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: that's where you're doing right, you know her first round pick. Correct, 625 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: he was, and he was credited up there with a 626 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: couple key blocks that sprung carry On Johnson runs And 627 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: maybe it was because they're playing Tom Brady and said, look, 628 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: we gotta keep him off the field. But all of 629 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,719 Speaker 1: a sudden, yeah, they've they've found something with the running game, 630 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: which they have not had a running game in years 631 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: up there, and well this kid maybe the answer rushing 632 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: game in five years. Yeah, exactly the right Cowboys have 633 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: had thirty three. Yeah, and there there's the there's the 634 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: flip side of this. I'm all for Seattle game plan 635 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 1: this week, being Seattle what they did to the Cowboys. 636 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: If it until Detroit proves to me that they can 637 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: stop the run, I'm gonna run this football. I'm gonna 638 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: try and i'm gonna I'm gonna make this if you know, 639 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: it's a noon game, if it's over at one oh five, 640 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 1: I'm okay with that, you know, you know, uh Jason 641 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: Jason pointed out yesterday about Karan Reid that he can 642 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 1: play either spot. He's not just a one that he 643 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,439 Speaker 1: could play them three. So they need him as a one, 644 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: but if you need somebody else to help Crawford at three. 645 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,439 Speaker 1: Although in the game against Seattle, we did see them 646 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 1: in some instances moving de Marcus Lawrence inside. Yeah, uh, 647 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: in in pass rush situations, so gave up a huge 648 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: play that nineteen side. Yeah, they flipped. They flipped because 649 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,359 Speaker 1: we were trying. We we kind of pointed out last 650 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: week that Seattle inside was not gonna be good. So 651 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 1: what they tried to do was create some matchups inside, 652 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: and I think it got him it bit him on 653 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: that play that went to c J. Prosis that went 654 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: to the outside. We couldn't really fear out. Okay, is 655 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: that Taco drop in? Is that linebacker? But the linebacker 656 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: was blitzing through the a gap that was Taco. Yeah, 657 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,720 Speaker 1: I supposed to peel off. There we go, Mickey. Mickey 658 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: lives here, he knows. All right, Let's go to Michael 659 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: in New York. You're up on talking Cowboys, Mike. I 660 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: elation sucks. Michael. Hi, everyone, how are you goood? Thanks? Yeah? Good? Good? 661 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,319 Speaker 1: All right? So, um, you know, we hear a lot, 662 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 1: we talk a lot. I know you guys probably get 663 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 1: sick of hearing about where health, complaints about the coaching, 664 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: the play calling, etc. But that, in my opinion, will 665 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: sort itself out at the end of the season based 666 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 1: on the results of these last thirteen games. Ye, so 667 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: I agree. Instead of right, so instead of you know, 668 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 1: wasting breath about that one thing is a fan that 669 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,839 Speaker 1: concerns me. You know, I was around, you know during 670 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: the days when maybe I wish that Stephen would have 671 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: taken the reins from Jerry Sure and showing a little 672 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,240 Speaker 1: bit more restraint when it came to spending and things 673 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: like that, and now I think we've kind of gone 674 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: too far the other way, and I would just like 675 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,399 Speaker 1: us to have been more aggressive over this last year 676 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: or two at times to help surround this quarterback with 677 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: the weapons that he needs so that you can really 678 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 1: get a good evaluation of the player going forward. And 679 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 1: last year there were enough problems around him, with the 680 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: bad situation on the offensive line in the Atlanta game, 681 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: the Burning of Atlanta as Jerry called it, the decline 682 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: of receivers like Dez and so forth. There were some 683 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,720 Speaker 1: external reasons that you could use to attribute to Dak's 684 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: decline in the second half of the year. But now 685 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: we're in a point where we've lost some of those reasons, 686 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: and you know, Dez was shipped away and went and 687 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: retired and so forth, and now we're in a situation 688 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 1: where I think that we have probably one of the 689 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 1: worst groups in terms of wide receiver and tight end 690 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: to support the quarterback in the league. And now we're 691 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: in a position where they're kind of getting close to 692 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: the point where they have to make a decision on 693 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,919 Speaker 1: what to do with the quarterback going forward. And while 694 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: I very much have my doubts about the quarterback and 695 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: his unwillingness to throw the ball down the field. I 696 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: greatly wonder if we shot ourselves in the foot with 697 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 1: making a clean evaluation of him in that respect, in 698 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,319 Speaker 1: terms of surrounding them with weapons. So I just wanted 699 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:34,880 Speaker 1: to know what you all thought of. Hey, I can 700 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 1: I ask you a question, sir? Yes, sir, you know 701 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 1: they were thinking about that Sammy Watkins thing. They were 702 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,919 Speaker 1: trying to spend money there. Is that the right thing 703 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,399 Speaker 1: to do? Or is that you know the wrong thing? 704 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 1: And I'll ask you another question too, about what's your 705 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 1: theory about them signing their own? Does that not constitute 706 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,360 Speaker 1: trying to do stuff in free agency when you're signing 707 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: your own. Yeah. As far as Whykins, I almost threw 708 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 1: up in my mouth when I heard that they wanted Waltkins, 709 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,319 Speaker 1: and probably near the rate. I don't think they were 710 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: far off from what he got with Kansas City, from 711 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: what I was able to gather. Sure, So, yeah, believe 712 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 1: me when I say I'd like them to be You're 713 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,439 Speaker 1: in New York, right, I don't. I don't want them, 714 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: you know, to be like a drunken sailor and throw 715 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 1: their money all over the place. Sure, as far as 716 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: the other part of your question there, I very much believe, 717 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: like I you know, to my friends and so forth, 718 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 1: and to my son who was very much a fan. Um, 719 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 1: you know, I always consider when they extend to Zach Martin, extended, 720 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:42,320 Speaker 1: Travis Frederick, etc. To me, that is like buying yourself 721 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 1: a premium player. That counts very much, very much believe 722 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 1: that could be Lawrence next year. I mean, that's kind 723 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,439 Speaker 1: of where this thing's going, right, That's right. And what 724 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,439 Speaker 1: I'm talking about is when you only get so many 725 00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 1: draft picks, right, so, and especially premium picks, anything past 726 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 1: the third round, maybe the fourth round is kind of 727 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 1: a lottery ticket. So to me, we've become too reliant 728 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,399 Speaker 1: on being perfect there in the draft. Okay, okay, which 729 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: no matter what you do as a crapshoot to some extent, 730 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 1: and I love the draft, but to me, when we 731 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 1: rely on you know, will to hit it out of 732 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,399 Speaker 1: the park there every time, and then to also find 733 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 1: us a gem as a street free agent, like an 734 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,280 Speaker 1: Antwoine Woods type. And I give a lot of credit 735 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: to them for some of their fines, but it just 736 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,880 Speaker 1: hasn't been enough. And so really that's just my concern, 737 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,839 Speaker 1: now you're the bottom line is real quick, and thank 738 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 1: you for the call. It's an excellent call, well thought out. 739 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,400 Speaker 1: His concern is the evaluation of the quarterback, and I 740 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 1: think he's on that point, because how do you do 741 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: it if you're sitting there going well, I'm not sure 742 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: about these tight ends. I'm not sure about the wide receiver. Boy, Mickey, 743 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: you're right. They put a lot on this quarterback that 744 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: they can go with no bell our wide receiver and say, okay, 745 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 1: we'll play with the group. And he's right about the 746 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,800 Speaker 1: tight ends. I feel I feel sorry I said this yesterday. 747 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: I feel sorry for Jeff Swain because Jeff Swain is 748 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 1: having to play James Hannah's role, right and he's not 749 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,319 Speaker 1: equipped to play James James Hannah's role, you know, And 750 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 1: that's and that's the problem with this right now. And 751 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 1: he's absolutely right there, you know, I will say this, 752 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 1: and I appreciate him going with the approach of let's 753 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 1: evaluate at the end of the year, let's evaluate the 754 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 1: coaching staff, let's evaluate the players. I just have a 755 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 1: feeling that this evaluation of the coaching staff will be 756 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 1: tied into with the quarterback. I think I think from 757 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 1: a front office perspective, this might work out okay for 758 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 1: Dak either way, whether it goes new coach comes in 759 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 1: and says, Okay, this is what I can do with him. Well, 760 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 1: I think I have a new coach comes in. From 761 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 1: a front office perspective, I think if if this continues 762 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: on where they struggle offensively, I could see the front 763 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 1: office saying, well, we need to surround him with better talent. 764 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 1: If we do that, I think, well, he'll be a 765 00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,520 Speaker 1: better quarterback. I don't know what the future holds for 766 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 1: him for from a contract standpoint, where year after this, right, 767 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: but if he's able to turn this around, have a 768 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,840 Speaker 1: good season with a cast that, yes is largely unproven 769 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 1: and new that he gets a lot of credit for 770 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 1: that too. Absolutely so I think either way there he 771 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 1: earns his money there. Maybe it's possible, um, but he 772 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,839 Speaker 1: made he made some valid points. I think it just 773 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 1: goes back to the front office felt like we spend 774 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 1: a second round pick on a top tier guard prospect 775 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 1: and they weren't counting on Travis Frederick to be in 776 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,279 Speaker 1: the condition he's in right now. If you have that 777 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:34,640 Speaker 1: badass pick on Gallup, yeah, well who the draft show 778 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,399 Speaker 1: absolutely loved that too. Yeah, but I think they were 779 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:41,240 Speaker 1: counting on again the running game, this dominant offensive line, 780 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: and they can fit some pieces around that with Zeke 781 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,400 Speaker 1: and and right now, I mean, I think not having 782 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,920 Speaker 1: Travis and some some transition on the line, it's not 783 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 1: the offense maybe that we expected so far. Can ask 784 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 1: the question, if, given Travis Frederick's health or a number 785 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,320 Speaker 1: one wide receiver or I shouldn't say, hell, Travis Frederick's 786 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,839 Speaker 1: availability or a number one wide receiver, if you had 787 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 1: to take one right now to help, which one you 788 00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,400 Speaker 1: go with? I want a healthy Travis. I want that 789 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 1: line stable the way because we've seen what they can 790 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 1: do when they're at full strength. We've seen it, and 791 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,400 Speaker 1: it's just full strength, right yeah, and it just hasn't 792 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:25,880 Speaker 1: been saying so. And then with regards to the number 793 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 1: one right receiver. Yeah, so what I said yesterday about 794 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 1: kind of squeezing down rotation. So I'm looking out the 795 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 1: list and Beasley's got twelve catches, yeah, all right, and 796 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,719 Speaker 1: then Deonte Thompson has nine, yeah, and I'm not counting 797 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,839 Speaker 1: a Zeke and I'm not counting Austin Swain, Okay, and 798 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:55,399 Speaker 1: then it's five for Tavon Austin, Yeah, three for Gallup, Yeah, 799 00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 1: two for Terrence Williams and Hearns has four. So you 800 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,880 Speaker 1: can say you spread it out, but you've spread it 801 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 1: out where there's been no productivity. Yeah. And I'm not 802 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 1: talking targets because no, I know that, I'm not. We 803 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,239 Speaker 1: don't have that here. But just catches. Yeah, you know, 804 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 1: Michael Gallop one catch each game, Now, you should have 805 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 1: had two, right, We can can argue about that, but still, 806 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,320 Speaker 1: what about three or four? Michael? Give him those opportunities 807 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup for four for fifty eight yards every game 808 00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,399 Speaker 1: would have been really nice right now, right or something 809 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,239 Speaker 1: like that. I mean maybe, well maybe you know that 810 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 1: opportunity had coming across the field in Carolina would have 811 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,080 Speaker 1: kind of got him going. So let me let me ask. Okay, 812 00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,520 Speaker 1: we've got two for the offensive line. Are you saying 813 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 1: Mickey wide receiver would help more? No, I'm still stuck 814 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,640 Speaker 1: on the offensive line, but we don't know if somebody 815 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 1: here can be I'm I'll go the other. I'll take 816 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,720 Speaker 1: your receiver, you'll take the receipt. I'll take the receiver 817 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,440 Speaker 1: because I think Joe Looney has been good enough. But 818 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:02,760 Speaker 1: I need somebody. That's why I'm asking for Tavon Austin 819 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,160 Speaker 1: or Cole Beasley. Somebody. Just get the ball on somebody's 820 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 1: hands that can make plays. Give me a little juice. 821 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,880 Speaker 1: But I don't you, guys. I think my point is 822 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,360 Speaker 1: maybe that guy's there but hasn't had the opportunity. You 823 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,400 Speaker 1: guys are right about the line. Though, you're right about 824 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 1: the line. And and but I would, I would. I 825 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: would sacrifice having Travis Frederick right now if I knew 826 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 1: I had somebody on the outside that can get me 827 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,239 Speaker 1: eight for eighty nine. So you're just touched down. So 828 00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,560 Speaker 1: what you're saying is okay, Frederick, Fine, we can withstand that. 829 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:36,680 Speaker 1: If we had Sammy Watkins on the other well, I 830 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: don't know if it's Sammy, was just saying as a name, 831 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,440 Speaker 1: if it's somebody somebody Michael brought up, you know, and 832 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 1: I asked him to Sammy Watkins question. Because they tried 833 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 1: to spend money on a wide receiver to get him. 834 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,040 Speaker 1: They tried to get him a weapon. They tried to 835 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 1: spend a lot of money on a guy. Yeah they tried, 836 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 1: Yeah they didn't. It didn't work. Yeah, it didn't work. 837 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:56,239 Speaker 1: So I do appreciate your guy's answer because I don't 838 00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,480 Speaker 1: think it's wrong. But man, if you just give me 839 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 1: somebody that can help this quarterback a little bit. And 840 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,359 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that these other guys haven't tried to 841 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,160 Speaker 1: help that. Maybe that's what they are. Maybe that's why 842 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 1: I hope that Michael Gallup is better than one catch 843 00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,359 Speaker 1: a game. I hope that that's my that's my. You know, 844 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,920 Speaker 1: Thompson has been a nice surprise. Get Austin involved. You know, 845 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,760 Speaker 1: Hearns is the one that I kind of thought, Remember 846 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,600 Speaker 1: we were all discussing Hearns. It was if we had 847 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,480 Speaker 1: if he had the same number as death sixty eight 848 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,000 Speaker 1: for how are many yards and how many you know, 849 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,319 Speaker 1: we would be touched down. Yeah, we'd be happy, we'd 850 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,319 Speaker 1: be lated. We can't even get that right now, right, 851 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,359 Speaker 1: so I'm sorry. I look at dilated eyes coming well 852 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,919 Speaker 1: take over your show. I um, you know you're talking 853 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:45,480 Speaker 1: about targets and how many receptions whatever. Look at how 854 00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 1: many snaps to the snap percentage? You look at the 855 00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 1: Lions and Marvin Jones is on the field ninety four 856 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 1: percent of the snaps, right, Kenny Golladay nine one percent 857 00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,080 Speaker 1: and Golden Tate eight percent. To look at plays right 858 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:03,799 Speaker 1: into Mickey's Ye, that plays right. I'm switching over to 859 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:08,560 Speaker 1: the cowboys now and snap counts just a second. No, no, 860 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,200 Speaker 1: you guys are I got it right here. You guys 861 00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 1: are right wrong about this here not wrong. Colebe Easley 862 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 1: sixty five percent has the most percentage, okay, one hundred 863 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 1: and fifteen snaps eleven perconnel right, Alan Hearns fifty nine percent. 864 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 1: Play some slot too, okay, Deonte Thompson forty five percent, 865 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 1: Michael Gallop forty five percent, Terrence Williams twenty two percent, 866 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 1: and Tavon Austin twenty seven percent. So Babon Austin percentage 867 00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 1: needs to go up. It just it needs to go. 868 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,600 Speaker 1: So what we hand the ball to Zeke and get 869 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:44,359 Speaker 1: Tavon Austin involved. What we have here is socialized white 870 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,800 Speaker 1: Oh no, you're right about that. There you go, everybody 871 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:53,320 Speaker 1: social a little bit. Becky has pinpointed it. It's socialist, 872 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,280 Speaker 1: all right, We continue on talking cowboys in just a moment. 873 00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 1: If you're like me and you love I mean, if 874 00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,840 Speaker 1: you have a thing, then cutting the chord is scary. 875 00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:05,600 Speaker 1: But then I found out I could switch to DirecTV 876 00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 1: now and still get the live sports I love.

I'm 948 00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,400 Speaker 1: flying out to the game Sunday morning. Um, so that'd 949 00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,080 Speaker 1: be great. And uh I'm my predictions Cowboys by eight. 950 00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:33,320 Speaker 1: Um yeah. Thanks. One thing I found interesting yesterday listened 951 00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:37,400 Speaker 1: to listening to Zeke um well, and when he was 952 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,000 Speaker 1: asked about two thousand and sixteen, because that seems to 953 00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:42,800 Speaker 1: come up a lot, is yes, he said, he says, 954 00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:46,719 Speaker 1: he said they're running a different scheme. Um, then in 955 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 1: keep two thousand and sixteen, and so I was wondering 956 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,200 Speaker 1: if that change was last season. I haven't heard you 957 00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:57,320 Speaker 1: guys talk about it. He was referring to Detroit's defense. 958 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:03,319 Speaker 1: The question was, can you take anything from last time 959 00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,560 Speaker 1: you played Detroit? And he pointed out that they have 960 00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:10,320 Speaker 1: a different defensive coordinator. He wasn't talking about the Cowboys 961 00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:14,320 Speaker 1: Paul Pasqualoni. Oh sure, I think he mentioned it twice, 962 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,160 Speaker 1: but I'll go back and look. But I just found 963 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,360 Speaker 1: that that pretty interesting. Yeah, he was talking about Detroit 964 00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,879 Speaker 1: at that point, and he said, there's no sense going 965 00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:25,200 Speaker 1: back to twenty sixteen, and he pointed out that we 966 00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:28,960 Speaker 1: have changed, we have new personnel, we're not the same team, 967 00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:33,960 Speaker 1: and Detroit has a different defensive coordinator. Thank god, Mickey listens. Yeah, 968 00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,319 Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, you're a better listener than me, because 969 00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:39,360 Speaker 1: I think as the Cowboys are running a different scheme, 970 00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,960 Speaker 1: and I was wondering, and actually that was and answered 971 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,360 Speaker 1: to Rob's question the other day when I said I 972 00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:50,080 Speaker 1: listened to not only talk radio, but I've been listening 973 00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,959 Speaker 1: to things on the app on my in the car, 974 00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:56,080 Speaker 1: and that I listened to Zeke again this morning. There 975 00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:57,719 Speaker 1: you get the way. Nice. What do you think that 976 00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:01,279 Speaker 1: he paid off? Thank you? Very much. Bran, Yeah, it's great. 977 00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:04,440 Speaker 1: What do you think of Zeke's interview yesterday with the media. 978 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,399 Speaker 1: I thought he was pretty good. I thought he was too. 979 00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:12,200 Speaker 1: He's been crazy all year, insightful. Yes, I still enjoyed. 980 00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,400 Speaker 1: Last night we ran a sound bite from him on 981 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,840 Speaker 1: Channel eleven. I came out of it. I said, I 982 00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,879 Speaker 1: don't know that I've heard Zeke talk with that kind 983 00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:25,640 Speaker 1: of passion before, and he was more forthcoming. He wasn't guarded. 984 00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,279 Speaker 1: It wasn't and it made me think, you know, last year, 985 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,359 Speaker 1: everything was so guarded. It was tough for him right year. 986 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,640 Speaker 1: I don't think he really wanted to talk about that stuff. 987 00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,480 Speaker 1: And I mean even when he wasn't talking, asked about 988 00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,040 Speaker 1: that stuff, even talking football stuff, he was very It 989 00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,520 Speaker 1: was closer to his rookie year, but a little bit 990 00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:45,960 Speaker 1: more informative than because his rookie year. I think he 991 00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:50,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if he was so distrusting of the media. 992 00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:51,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what happened at it. I think Cowboy 993 00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,439 Speaker 1: fans should like what they heard from him yesterday because 994 00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:58,120 Speaker 1: I thought so too pissed off, and he also sounded 995 00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,799 Speaker 1: like we gotta do something about and he also kind 996 00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:02,359 Speaker 1: of made a joke in the middle of the whole 997 00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,120 Speaker 1: thing too, which you know he's usually just kind of 998 00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:08,440 Speaker 1: flat lines. You know. I thought he was good. It 999 00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,800 Speaker 1: was good and he and he answered the questions the 1000 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,000 Speaker 1: way he should have. It's like, well, yeah, you should 1001 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,279 Speaker 1: you carry the ball more? Well, yeah, but you know, 1002 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,799 Speaker 1: let's look at what happened. He goes, we we were 1003 00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:21,279 Speaker 1: down seventeen points. We can't be wasting time with a 1004 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,719 Speaker 1: We gotta play better early in the game and take 1005 00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:26,719 Speaker 1: a lead in the game, and then we can give 1006 00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:28,800 Speaker 1: me the ball in the second half, kind of like 1007 00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:31,680 Speaker 1: what Seattle did the other day and brought us that 1008 00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:35,000 Speaker 1: game plan. And he put himself as part of that too. Yeah. 1009 00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,320 Speaker 1: I mean he made some key mistakes that cost them points, 1010 00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,640 Speaker 1: and um, it was almost like he was school in 1011 00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:43,080 Speaker 1: the media, like hey, this is what you should know. Yeah. 1012 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,319 Speaker 1: I mean, he's not going to be easy to figure out, 1013 00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:51,440 Speaker 1: really right, Yeah yeah yeah, well you know what voice 1014 00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:55,160 Speaker 1: that can't people figure this out? I taught Archer vsp 1015 00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,800 Speaker 1: and Dallas did a great Gi tweeted out he's getting 1016 00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,600 Speaker 1: Zeke is getting the same percentage of time watches per 1017 00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,239 Speaker 1: game as he's gotten throughout his career. It's just a 1018 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,800 Speaker 1: matter of the situation and the number of plays they're getting. 1019 00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:08,920 Speaker 1: They're getting they're getting about I think the two losses 1020 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,800 Speaker 1: they've had forty four plays and fifty plays on offense. 1021 00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,839 Speaker 1: That is just not a lot, no, not enough, not enough. 1022 00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:17,160 Speaker 1: So you know, and where he's gotten a lot of 1023 00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:18,640 Speaker 1: bill I think you said this, where he's gotten a 1024 00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:22,120 Speaker 1: lot of his carries in wins have been just salting 1025 00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,200 Speaker 1: away games in the fourth quarter. Yeah, that's where's Chris 1026 00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:28,799 Speaker 1: Carson did the other day with like fifteen carries after 1027 00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,640 Speaker 1: the three minute mark of the third quarter. About this, 1028 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,680 Speaker 1: fifty seven plays, fifty plays in fifty eight. They haven't 1029 00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,239 Speaker 1: had a sixty play game yet. They used to just 1030 00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,080 Speaker 1: used to maul you with that. Well, Dak Prescott has 1031 00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 1: I've got the snap counts in front of me. He 1032 00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:46,560 Speaker 1: has one hundred and seventy six snaps. So divide that 1033 00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:49,640 Speaker 1: by three. That's less than sixties snaps a game for 1034 00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:53,160 Speaker 1: the offense. And then and the defense has played sixty one, 1035 00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:58,160 Speaker 1: sixty seven and sixty six. And let's see, like Cheeto 1036 00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:02,279 Speaker 1: and Byron Jones, who have the snaps two hundred two 1037 00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:04,880 Speaker 1: snaps for each of them. You know, it's going to 1038 00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,759 Speaker 1: sound crazy. As much as we want offense to do 1039 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,200 Speaker 1: what they need to do, this game might come down 1040 00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:12,960 Speaker 1: to the defense in a way of and I mean 1041 00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:15,120 Speaker 1: I think offense will find a way to get some 1042 00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:19,839 Speaker 1: some traction. Can the defense hold up with those three 1043 00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:23,560 Speaker 1: wide receivers you're talking about? And then Matthew Stafford throwing 1044 00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:26,120 Speaker 1: the quarterback which we talked about early in the week 1045 00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,319 Speaker 1: when I said, is this the best offense they've played 1046 00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 1: or at least the best quarterback? This absolutely, this is 1047 00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,879 Speaker 1: gonna be a last quarterback with the best weapons. Yeah, 1048 00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:35,719 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a lot of bunch and chase. 1049 00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,600 Speaker 1: You know, get ready. I mean this, they they they will, 1050 00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:42,000 Speaker 1: they will find a way to get receivers all grouped up. 1051 00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:43,920 Speaker 1: And then and Tony Roman. We've been talked about this 1052 00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:46,440 Speaker 1: with Ben in Skin the other day. Is that, you know, 1053 00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,360 Speaker 1: to make up for some of your deficiencies, how do 1054 00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,160 Speaker 1: you get people open and routes. You could have the 1055 00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:54,719 Speaker 1: same concepts, the same schemes, but you bunch them up. 1056 00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:56,920 Speaker 1: You've scattered them, you know, but you run the same 1057 00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,960 Speaker 1: routes out of that. We we all rob's not all 1058 00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,880 Speaker 1: enough for this? Maybe is Joe Gibbs ran you know, 1059 00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,520 Speaker 1: the counter tray. He ran the counter tray over and 1060 00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:07,400 Speaker 1: over and over again. But he did it out of 1061 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:11,560 Speaker 1: different formations. So you know, that's you get good at something, 1062 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,880 Speaker 1: but you run it out of different formations. And this 1063 00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,720 Speaker 1: is really what the Lions will do. And just especially 1064 00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:18,360 Speaker 1: now that they've got a little bit of a running 1065 00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,520 Speaker 1: game with Carrie on Johnson, I think Dallas has to 1066 00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,880 Speaker 1: be worried about that. But how well can the secondary play. 1067 00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:27,200 Speaker 1: They can't afford safety busts, you know, they can't afford 1068 00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,200 Speaker 1: depth problems. They can't afford letting guys run across the 1069 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:33,480 Speaker 1: field because then this guy starts scoring points. Now you're 1070 00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,320 Speaker 1: really in trouble, you know. I mean, you know, Dallas 1071 00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:37,919 Speaker 1: is going to probably play in a lot of tough, 1072 00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,880 Speaker 1: tight games, but you can't let them get up a 1073 00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:44,520 Speaker 1: lead like Seattle did. That's just it's just it's hard 1074 00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:46,640 Speaker 1: on this offense to do. Even though I think that 1075 00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,000 Speaker 1: they're going to have some success, because I don't think 1076 00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,800 Speaker 1: Detroit really can play the run all that well. I 1077 00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,640 Speaker 1: really don't. So one thing that New England had going 1078 00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:56,520 Speaker 1: for him. Yeah, and they just but they couldn't, you know. 1079 00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:58,360 Speaker 1: But Detroit got a little bit of a lead, and 1080 00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:01,080 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Brady started missing pass right. So 1081 00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:03,400 Speaker 1: I think that's just going to be I think the 1082 00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:06,040 Speaker 1: Dallas secondary is going to have a big, big hand 1083 00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,840 Speaker 1: in this one this week just because of what you know. 1084 00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:10,800 Speaker 1: They don't really have a tight end. Detroit didn't have 1085 00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:12,000 Speaker 1: a tight end. You have to do it, but they 1086 00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:14,800 Speaker 1: got three receivers you gotta deal with. So they wrote 1087 00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,040 Speaker 1: about a guy Yesterday, Gall Day, who's a big target 1088 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:20,760 Speaker 1: into its own absolutely so Nickel defense the whole game. Yeah, 1089 00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,479 Speaker 1: get ready, get ready. A lot of a lot of chase, 1090 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:25,600 Speaker 1: a lot of chasing going on. It's like hitting the 1091 00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,720 Speaker 1: ant pile. Yeah, and then everybody kick kick can't pile 1092 00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:30,680 Speaker 1: and watch the ants go there you go. There's no 1093 00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:36,800 Speaker 1: holiday when you go up against Kenny Day. Galday Talking 1094 00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:40,919 Speaker 1: Cowboys returns tomorrow. We think I could see We hope 1095 00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:45,520 Speaker 1: we'll see you tomorrow. This has been a production of 1096 00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:49,160 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
