So I'm 26 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: just I'm loving this look today. I'm loving it. Thank you, 27 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:52,639 Speaker 1: Thank you, Rob Okay, Yeah, finally get the bows. Yeah, 28 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: it looks fantastic. As Jason Garrett would say back in 29 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: the day, fantastic. Yes, I was not on the show yesterday. 30 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: You guys did a fantastic job domination. I mean, y'all 31 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: covered it yesterday. That was as dominant performance as I 32 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: can remember covering in what fifteen years something like that. 33 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: Just it was almost a perfect game the way they played, 34 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 1: as far as getting everybody involved offensively, defensively, the turnovers continue, 35 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: special teams touchdown. It was an embarrassing loss for Washington, 36 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: no question about it. And honestly, the way the defense 37 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: is playing, I think you have to say this team 38 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: as a Super Bowl contender right now. I know they 39 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: haven't beaten some very good teams lately, and one is 40 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: coming up. But I would say the way that this 41 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: slump has happened, if you want to call it for 42 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense, maybe it was the best thing that 43 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: ever happened to this Cowboys team. If maybe if we 44 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: go down the stretch, because it's allowed the defense to 45 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: raise its game and it kind of forced them to 46 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: raise their game. And if you can get both units 47 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: kind of on this level going into the playoffs, that's 48 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: the teams they make it to the super Bowl. That 49 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: was a jumping out of the cake by you, Robert. 50 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: I heard it. I don't have pasties at home, but yeah, man, 51 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: hey everybody, Yeah, yeah, come on, you know what to do, Isaiah, 52 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: do your thing. But everybody just listened to the show. 53 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: Thumbs up, a thumbs down for Rob's beard. I personally 54 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: love the beard look for Rob. I think it makes them, 55 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: you know, as a little thuggish, ruggish to the p Island. Well, 56 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: we both watched the old school Miami vice. Right, so 57 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: I'm just going for Crockett really right now, is what 58 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: I'm doing for Crockett. Yeah, Crockett really didn't trim it up, 59 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: you know, he just kind of let it go. Mind 60 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: straight out of laziness right now. But yeah, maybe I'll 61 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: keep it in trim it for you. We'll see that's 62 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: a T shirt, Rob and you hit straight out of lazy, 63 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: Straight out of lazy, Isaiah, how's everything going in your world? 64 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: Of course? Now that you're bad, I get the crib 65 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: and you got that? Uh is that cowboys in the 66 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: background there again? Or are you get something different? We 67 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: got some cowboys back there. You know. I received that 68 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: gift from one of my one of my clients. I 69 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: was awesome, got my old my first touchdown with the 70 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: boys and then uh Dallas Renegades when when I was 71 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: working with them. So I've got a couple of things 72 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: around here. But I'm about to change the officer of 73 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: now that we have to be remote for a little bit, 74 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: I'm about to change the officer of. My dad bought 75 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: me some some background stuff. I'm about to fix it 76 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: up so I can get my get my uh you know, 77 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: my haygman Harrison On not trying to look bootlegs, always 78 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: got the always got the office ready, man, I'm from 79 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: the c FOAM Capitol right now, you know, so you 80 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,559 Speaker 1: know I gotta get it, get it cracking. But guys, 81 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I want to go back to what Rob 82 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,119 Speaker 1: pe is talking about a super Bowl caliber defense, and 83 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: I just want to know from you, Pete, how long 84 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: did it take for you to gravitate towards this defense 85 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: looking like a super Bowl caliber defense. I think it's 86 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: come to during this stretch where the offense has struggled. 87 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: Obviously they if you wanted to call it a slump, 88 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: that was they broke a slump Sunday. Fifty six points 89 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: is just ridiculous. But yeah, I think you know, early 90 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: in the season, probably the narrative and maybe it was true, was, 91 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: you know, offensively, that's the strength they're dominant. The defense 92 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: succeeds when they're playing with a lead. They haven't had 93 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: that luxury lately, and obviously they haven't played they haven't 94 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: played playoffs super Bowl caliber quarterbacks. But they played Pat 95 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: Mahomes a few weeks ago and did a hell of 96 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: a job. And these takeaways are could be the difference 97 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: maker to me because you go back in history teams 98 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: that had thirty plus forty takeaways, if they have a 99 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: quarterback that is playoff, super Bowl caliber, who gets hot 100 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: most of the time in the past, twenty years there's 101 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,559 Speaker 1: a team with that many takeaways that makes the Super 102 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: Bowl because you've got a quarterback in an offense that 103 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: can capitalize on those extra possessions. Is that quarterback definitely 104 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: was earlier in the season, showed it on Sunday, great 105 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: test Sunday against Arizona. But if he gets hot, this 106 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: this team's got is dangerous. I mean, there's no question 107 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: about that. Now. You mentioned it early on, You kind 108 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: of talked about the fact that the defense having to 109 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: raise their game to keep up with the offense. Do 110 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: you feel like that's starting to kind of get to 111 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: that that vice versa it's kind of starting to turn 112 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: the tide a little bit because the defense did raise 113 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: their game and they've done it consistently now for the 114 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: last four or five weeks. In the of course, the 115 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: four game win streaks certainly showing for it. But is 116 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: it also now the offense with the pressure and the 117 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: bet that Michael Parsons was talking about the touchdowns versus turnovers? 118 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: Is it now the offense is turned to try and 119 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: turn that tide moving into the final two games of 120 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:55,239 Speaker 1: the regular season. Yeah, absolutely, honestly. You know, with that bet, 121 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: if the defense wins that bet this team's in trouble, 122 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: you know, seriously, I mean, you can't have an offense 123 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: that's losing the turnover, takeaway slash touchdown battle against their 124 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: own defense every week. And obviously they came out and 125 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: played really well. I think you know, Isaiah, it's been 126 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: a part of Super Bowl championship teams, and I just 127 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: think you can't win a Super Bowl if you've got 128 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: one side of the ball really struggling. I think you've 129 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: got to have look at Tampa Bay last year. It 130 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: was so take a drink from home complimentary, like that's 131 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: what Mike McCarthy's been saying for two years now. Sunday 132 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: was the best example yet that we've seen of it. 133 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,679 Speaker 1: And yes, that was an opponent that was struggling with COVID, 134 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: with injuries, with schedule, Cowboys were more rested, more ready 135 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: for that game. But I think they've been playing at 136 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: a certain level defensively for a while and they're peaking 137 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: in time for the playoffs. And that's exciting if you're 138 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: a fan. And obviously it's exciting that the offense took 139 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: a step forward. To Isaiah, Yeah, I mean, ross point, 140 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: you want to make sure that your offense is able 141 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: to score points and as well as the defense is 142 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: playing is a great of a job as you're doing 143 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: in terms of you know, four some three and outs 144 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: and ultimately getting turnovers. If your offense gets the ball 145 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: and they can't score points, and it's really for nothing. 146 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: And as we talked about it in the past weeks, 147 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: you know, the teams that we're going to have to 148 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: face in the playoffs, all those teams can score points. 149 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: So the reality is your defense can't stop those guys 150 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: every single time. So you're gonna have to be able 151 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: to come back their onslaught with your ability to score points. Heck, well, 152 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: I just think that it's I think it's interesting full 153 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: of the Cowboys. How you know, the offense and defense 154 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: a kind of being pi against each other. But this 155 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: team in general is peeking at the right time. Pee. 156 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: I just you know, the turnover, the turnovers for the defense, 157 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: I think it's carrying this team. That momentum is starting 158 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: to be the catalyst for the success that we're having. 159 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: Just the way the aggressiveness, the turnovers, all of that. 160 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,599 Speaker 1: I mean, it permeates through the whole team. And you 161 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: could tell the offense is like, hey, we gotta get 162 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: in on the act too, and it was good to 163 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: see that the last game in and just knowing that 164 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: this offense for the first I don't know, is it 165 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: safe to say first seven weeks of the season was 166 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: just clicking on all cylinders and then something happened, and 167 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: whether it was the blueprint that came about the show 168 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: that look, this is how you need to play these guys. Obviously, 169 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: teams are willing to die in cover two and Dak 170 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: is having to find this way here. You can see 171 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: it a little bit, and we talked about it yesterday, 172 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: some of the throws that he was making. But you 173 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: can't you can't understate how the defense is taking the 174 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: range right now and leaving this team through. And I 175 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: don't think that there's anybody that's going to have a 176 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: problem with saying that if we win a super Bowl, 177 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: it's because the defense showed up and showed out and 178 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: made this possible. So I'm not complaining. Whoever decides to 179 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: take the lead on this thing to get us there, 180 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: I'm all for it. I'm right there with real quick. 181 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: Just to piggyback on the takeaways thing, I went back 182 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: I wrote about this flat last week. Last twenty seasons 183 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: fifteen super bowls. Out of those twenty, there's been at 184 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: least one team in the Super Bowl that had thirty 185 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: plus takeaways, including Wow, Isaiah's Championship Giants team in twenty eleven. 186 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: They had thirty one takeaways in that season, so did 187 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: the Patriots. If you've got a really good quarterback to 188 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: capitalize on that, history shows you can do this. So 189 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: they are a dangerous team right now, no question about it. 190 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 1: But again, hey, Arizona is the best team they will 191 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: have played since Kansas City. So hey, great test coming up. 192 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: It is a great test, and we're gonna get to 193 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: that quick coming up here in the next couple of moments. 194 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: In order to do that, first, Rob, I want to 195 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: hear some news and notes. We didn't get the news 196 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: and notes yesterday, but we also got to hear from 197 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy and some of the coordinators and also had 198 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: some updates on a certain left tackle that might be 199 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: available moving into the week. Oh, I got some news 200 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: and I got some notes for y'all. Let's start with 201 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: Tyran Smith. Stephen Jones on the Fan yesterday said he 202 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: was quote very optimistic about Tyran returning against Arizona, and uh, 203 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: you know, I think he made some progress last week 204 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: and they felt like they, you know, could could wait 205 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: another week and they were able to get the job 206 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: done without him. So Stephen talked like they were going 207 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: to have him back provided he's got no setbacks during 208 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: practice this week, so that's good news. The COVID list 209 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: continues to have some editions. Francis Bernard joins that list. 210 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: He tested positive, Avante Collins and Brandon Smith from the 211 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: practice squad where COVID list editions as well. So I 212 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: count one two through four nine players currently sorry on 213 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: the on the COVID list since last week, and Tristan 214 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: Hill's part of that group too. He has not returned 215 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: since being on there a week or two ago, so 216 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: still dealing with COVID throughout the league. The league had 217 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: one hundred and six placements on the reserve list and 218 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: now that's four hundred and seventy six on the list 219 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: since December thirteenth, according to the NFL four hundred twenty 220 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: eight of last season. So this is something the Cowboys 221 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: continue have to be mindful of. Everybody does, and it 222 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: kind of goes back to what Dak said before last 223 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: season where healthiest team wins, you know, injuries slash COVID 224 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: and heckm I want to get your your thought process 225 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: on the offensive line and the way that they played 226 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 1: on Sunday night and the way that they kind of 227 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: bottled up the defensive line from Washington and to a 228 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: certain extent frustrated the defensive line from Washington. And I 229 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: say that a little tongue in cheek, of course because 230 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: the pain and the Allen of course, but the way 231 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: that that offensive line played, how exciting is it now 232 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 1: moving into these final two games. The fact that Tyren Smith, 233 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: should he remain off the COVID list, looks like he's 234 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: going to be a part of it. Yeah, and you're right, 235 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: I know you said that tongue in cheek, but man, 236 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: we was. We was bringing it to him so much 237 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: so that they got in the fight themselves on their 238 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: own hot benches with them. And that's just you know, 239 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: I think, you know, obviously, Tyren Smith coming back is 240 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: going to be very important. You want to see your 241 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame left tackle back in action. But as 242 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: much criticism as coach Philbin has taken from the whole 243 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: swing tackle by committee approach, man, it worked. I mean, 244 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: you didn't see a drop off from Niseki or still, 245 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: but I really love the way that if you go 246 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: back and watch that Washington take, they were giving them 247 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: them countertrads. And that's how old Joe Gibbs back when 248 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: they were called the Washington Redskins offense, that the counter 249 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: trade was what they started and pulling guards and tackles. 250 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: And it worked. And you saw Ezekiel Elliott a patient 251 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: runner and pick up those gash yards in the last game. 252 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: But I think if you continue this, and as me 253 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: and I have talked about it, how this running game 254 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: can also catapult the passing game to where it needs 255 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 1: to be. Play action was very important, and I think 256 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: that was all because of the job that the offensive 257 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: line what's doing. We have seen so many times that 258 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: Beadish and Connor Williams or McGovern whichever one we were 259 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: having problems over the left side, over the center with 260 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: getting pressure up in Dak's face, didn't have to go 261 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: through that. Obviously, you're going to have a test this 262 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,959 Speaker 1: Sunday with the Arizona defense because they are all formidable 263 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: and they have some guys that are going to come 264 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: after him. So I really. Look, I'm with p on this, 265 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: Like you know, you understand that you have a test 266 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: coming on Sunday. Yeah, it's great to hear that Tyran 267 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: Smith is back man or possibly back. I mean simply 268 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: because of the fact that you know what you have 269 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: in that all pro left tackle, and as soon as 270 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: he comes back, you automatically get all of your debt 271 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: back right, you get all your guys go right back 272 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: to sitting right behind him, and you have a sure thing, 273 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: no question marks, and you guys can go out there 274 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: and continue to be dominant up front. You know, these 275 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: guys did a great job and obviously and replacing him 276 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: during that time where he's been gone, and hopefully that 277 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: ends this week. But those guys are able to get 278 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: movement up front, and by having that movement up front, 279 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: you force the defensive line, the defensive front seven to 280 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: now respect your running game. We only ran for one 281 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: hundred and eight yards. It wasn't like we beat beat 282 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: the ground up, but they had to respect it. And 283 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: by doing that, like next said, it opens up all 284 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: of the threatening aspects of our passing game, which really 285 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: comes off of the play action passes. And it was 286 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: awesome to see and Terrence Steele, can can you know, 287 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: go back to his true calling. Apparently that's playing wide receiver, 288 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: you know, on the edge. The other thing too, and 289 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: I know y'all covered this yesterday, was Dak scrambling like 290 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: that is an element that you know, it's not by 291 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: design necessarily, but it does keep the defense honest. And 292 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: that's as much as he's running. I feel like, I 293 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: don't know if the stats board out, but as much 294 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: as he's running weeks in the game and at least 295 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: as good as he's looked while running in weeks, right, Isaiah, Yeah, 296 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: it's almost like he just made the decision. I still 297 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: feel like there was a little bit of hesitation, but 298 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: he was like, man, screw it, I know I need 299 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: to do this. I know this is gonna help us 300 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: move to chains. I notice is going to help our 301 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: entire offense continue them, you know, put points up, so 302 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: freak here I go, all right, and I'm not happy 303 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: about it, but I'm doing it, you know. And he 304 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: made it happen. And guess what they obviously the offense 305 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: was the benefactors of it. Yeah, Dak's game has definitely changed. 306 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: If you go back to twenty nineteen and dad got 307 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: in trouble. If there was an extra five seven yards 308 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: to pick up, four will go get it for you. 309 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: And this year we've seen that change, and I don't 310 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: think anyone is blaming him for that. Right after seeing 311 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: him go through that catastrophic injury last year, I think 312 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: we all thought that that was gonna be a little 313 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: bit of doubt in the back of his head on 314 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: whether I should leave the pocket, you know, And and 315 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: I'm with you, Isaiah, maybe it was just this game 316 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: that he said, you know what, I'm done with that. 317 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put that behind me and I'm gonna go 318 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: out here. And you saw him running for those first 319 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: down yards. But we're gonna need that that that Dak 320 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. We're gonna need the guy that leaves 321 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: the pocket because I don't think that defenses are gonna 322 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: change the way that they approached the Cowboys offense. I 323 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: don't think, so go for it. A couple of weeks ago, 324 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: I think it was two weeks ago, we did a 325 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: segment of Pregame Live. There was about you know, the 326 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 1: four quarters in getting in. One of the points I 327 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: made was getting Dak swagged back. Did you guys notice 328 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: the difference in his whole just ambyance, his his confidence 329 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: when he stepped on the field yesterday, two days ago. 330 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you, because he's the guy 331 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: that's always leading the group before games. I haven't seen it. 332 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: I just hadn't seen it the way that I think 333 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,239 Speaker 1: that you're noticing it. And you've been talking about this 334 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: for weeks, confidence and things like that, so if you 335 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: noticed it coming back, I just feel like he's a 336 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: supremely confident athlete. But you know, hey, maybe maybe this 337 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: game it was like the light switch came on. He's like, look, 338 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: I'm in my bag. I gotta get it. No, I 339 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 1: think I think, yeah, heck, and I think there's probably 340 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: something to that, maybe not just for Dak but the 341 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: whole team. I think they were relieved to be back 342 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,959 Speaker 1: at home. You know, three straight road games that had 343 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: been at home since Thanksgiving. And look, you know, the 344 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: stats and the record bear it out like they're a 345 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: better football team, especially offensively when they're at at and 346 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: T Stadium. That's why keep winning. Hope Green Bay trips 347 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: up and there's a chance they're in this one seed 348 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: and they're not going anywhere before possibly we'll see man, 349 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: and you would feel so much better about them playing 350 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: home games at at and T Stadium if at least 351 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: got one right now. But then if you get a 352 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: buy and then in your next two, we're supposed to 353 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: be at home if you want to keep winning. Oh, 354 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: I feel so much better about that than having to 355 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 1: go up to Lambeau and having McCarthy's return on the 356 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: docket and so many different things like that. So that 357 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: one seed is certainly on the docket moving forward.

I think that's the best part about this 413 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 1: whole thing is that we roast them all year long 414 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 1: and then we turn around and we say, here you go, 415 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: Marry Christmas, mister phillis the best thing.

So with that being said, and we 418 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: got to ask this yesterday with with Isaiah and with HECMO. 419 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: But Rob, what was your favorite part about the win 420 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: over Washington on Sunday? If there was one moment that 421 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: stuck out to you, Um, I might be well, probably 422 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: tanks pick six. It was almost like a yeah, like 423 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 1: a like a trying to one up Randy Gregory for 424 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: the week before. And I I'm probably stepping on your 425 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: teas pre show, but the most fun to me watching 426 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: this team play right now is the D line and 427 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: specifically third down, and Chris Collinsworth was highlighting it, you know, 428 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: the different ways they're trying to exploit matchups in pass 429 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: rush situations, the way they'll line up Randy Gregory and 430 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: then blitz tomorrow I'm sorry, Micah Parsons from the linebacker position. 431 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: Off the ball, it's it's so much fun to watch 432 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: Dan Quinn use all these talented players and put them 433 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: in great positions to have success. I mean, it's it 434 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 1: is really really exciting right now. And that's one thing 435 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 1: that we didn't really get to highlight yesterday, but talk 436 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: about the money down from Washington on offense versus Dallas 437 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: on offense. I mean, it couldn't have been any more lopsided. 438 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: How about three of thirteen Washington was held to just 439 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: three of thirteen on third down and then you've got 440 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: ten of fifteen for the Cowboys offensively, So both sides 441 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 1: of the football able to kind of destroy Washington on 442 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: third down in Isaiah, that's going to win you a 443 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 1: whole lot of football games if you're able to keep 444 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: that going absolutely, And what's kind of eerie about is 445 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: I remember a couple of weeks back we were three 446 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: for thirteen on third down, and it just doesn't seem 447 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 1: that long ago that we were having along that same 448 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: stat line. But if you continue to be continue to 449 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: execute on third down like they did obviously against Washington, 450 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: You're gonna win a lot of dog on ball games 451 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 1: and you hope that that's going to be the result 452 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: going forward. I have to say ditto and piggyback on 453 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: Rob's point in terms of the defensive line. I'm loving 454 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: with dan Quinn's doing in terms of these third down 455 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: these third down matchups, He's done a great job. We've 456 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: talked about it yesterday in terms of moving d Law 457 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: over into the inside and putting parsons on over over 458 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: the middle as well. These offensive guards usually sitting his 459 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: little bubble, and we talked about it a lot in 460 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 1: terms of where guys are comfortable at. Right, guys are 461 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: comfortable at sitting on the inside and guard at the 462 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: guard position because they have help, they have somebody there. 463 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 1: Sandwich did between some guys and they're they're kind of 464 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: in this nice little ice cream sandwich. But when you 465 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: go out to the ends at the offensive tackle position, 466 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: you're really on the island. But these guys are really 467 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: taking those offensive guards and putting them at a disadvantage, 468 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 1: and they're really making them uncomfortable because now they have 469 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: man to man matchups against our best pass rushers in 470 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: d law In Michael Parsons, and I hate to take 471 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: away from Gregory, but Gregory's on the outside picking on 472 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: the tackles and it's awesome to see every time third 473 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: down pops around. There was a play that Collinsworth highlighted 474 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: where one play Randy was in kind of a wide 475 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: nine technique rush heck and Parsons had had free rain 476 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: to go in and rush from the middle and get pressure, 477 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: and then the next time they kind of blocked inside 478 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: and allowed Gregory to get pressure on the outside and 479 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: tank as well. It's like it's pick your poison right now. 480 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: You know, you just hope that everybody can stay healthy 481 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 1: and stay together because it's it's really exciting. Yeah, and 482 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: you know, and you know, third down is the money 483 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: down right now, This defense ranks somewhere around twenty five 484 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 1: twenty six, however, and maybe after the last game they're 485 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot higher. But third down is very important. 486 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: No matter how you look at turnover differential, you get 487 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: the turnovers and also third down getting off the field, 488 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: and that's what they've been so good at is getting 489 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: off the field. And that's when we talk about this 490 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: momentum and how you just accentuated that point about where 491 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: our offense was on third down and how the tide 492 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: had changed there with them, you know, obviously getting to 493 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: first down the defense, and how the tide is changing 494 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 1: them getting off the field on third down. Look, we're 495 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: peeking at the right time. All the right things are 496 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 1: happening for us. But I just want to go back 497 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 1: to something that Isaiah said about what dan Quinn is doing, 498 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: and that is isolating these matchups. Putting guards on an island, 499 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: and it ain't pe island, but you get on that 500 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: and you get on that island and you have Michael 501 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: Parsons in front of you, or Randy Gregory in front 502 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: of you, however he switches it up, or Tank in 503 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: front of you, and you're finding that they're just isolating 504 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: and manhandling one side of the offensive line. It's so 505 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,439 Speaker 1: hard for guys to slide protect to one side, to 506 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,199 Speaker 1: take one guy away on our front seven. It's just 507 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: awesome to see this. And obviously as guys get healthy, 508 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: we played that game without Tristan Hill. That's another guy 509 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: that you're adding to that rotation. I don't look, man, 510 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 1: the momentum that they have on defense right now. It's just, man, 511 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: it's it's it's uncanny the way that this defense has 512 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: changed from last year to this year. And one of 513 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: the things that they highlighted on during the broadcast is 514 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: a distribution of snaps. And that's one of the things 515 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: that's undervalued right now. Guys are going from playing fifty 516 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: something sixty something snaps as a typical defensive alignment, typical 517 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: front seven, and now these guys are twenty twenty five snaps. 518 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: You know, what does that mean? What does that mean? 519 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 1: I mean, y'all fresh legs, man, fresh legs. I mean 520 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 1: you think about the duration of a game. If you 521 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 1: go out there and run twenty five yards sprints, I 522 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: could do twenty five yard sprints. And that's that's really 523 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: what these defensive alignment are doing. They're playing in the 524 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,679 Speaker 1: five to seven yard box. I can come off the 525 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: ball one hundred percent twenty to twenty five times and 526 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: literally be one hundred percent. Now you start taking me 527 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: to fifty and sixty while I'm pushing up another girl. 528 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: I'm pushing up against another girl, man, and you're mixing 529 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: and run defense. I'm gonna be a little gas and 530 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna it's not gonna be on my best 531 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: every single time. I'm gonna give my best, but I'm 532 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 1: not gonna be at my best when I'm growing twenty 533 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,199 Speaker 1: twenty five snaps a game. I'm not only gonna give 534 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 1: my best, but I'm also gonna be at my best. 535 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: So you're getting one hundred percent of whoever I am 536 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 1: every time you line up against me, and guess what. 537 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: When I go out, my boys come in and guess what, 538 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 1: he's one hundred percent too. That problem, it's a huge problem, 539 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: and they had I think a ten man rotation upfront 540 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: in this last game. I feel like they've done that 541 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: since they've gotten some of their key guys back, so 542 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: not only you, and that's without Tristan Hill playing in 543 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: the game last Sunday, So that's a ten man rotation, 544 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: and three of the guys with Hill coming back eventually 545 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: are fresh legs, guys that have been out on top 546 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,719 Speaker 1: of it. I mean, DeMarcus Lawrence, Devil Gallimore and Tristan 547 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: Hill should be really fresh down the stretch on top 548 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: of the fact that they've got some depth, and it 549 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: just continues to keep opponents off balance. I think that's 550 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,959 Speaker 1: one of the biggest things for dan Quinn right now. 551 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: It's not even just having success snap in and snap out, 552 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: it's just having the offenses confused snap in and snap at. 553 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: It seems like every single time an offense goes up 554 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage, they are having to look 555 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: at something different or something that they didn't anticipate, and 556 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: because of that, there's really no way that an offense 557 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: is able to pick that apart unless they're really some 558 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: of the elite in the n All right, let's answer 559 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: some of these Twitter questions. Oh, what do you want 560 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 1: to hit Heckma, No, no, no, what you said, well solid, 561 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: I liked it. I was just giving you thank you. Well, 562 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: this first question is actually perfect for you, So I'll 563 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: turn it right back around to you. Joshua John on Twitter. 564 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: And I love this because this is the way that 565 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: a lot of Cowboys fans feel right now. As fans, 566 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: I think we should all say this season has been 567 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: great and all, but it's always different or it seems 568 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,959 Speaker 1: to fall apart whenever you get closer to the playoffs. 569 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: So why will this year be any different? Mister heck 570 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: Ma Harrison, your defense. What we've just been talking about 571 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: your defense and ability to take away whatever teams do. Well, 572 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: look at it like this. You said his name is Josh. Yeah, Okay, 573 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: here's the thing, Josh. After Sunday's game, everybody that was 574 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: huddled around their television watching us play. One of all 575 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: the teams in the NFC that are playing in the playoffs, 576 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: one thing they don't want to do is they don't 577 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: want to come here and they don't want us to 578 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: go there. And the reason again is because of this defense. 579 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, if you look at teams, we will 580 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: make teams one dimensional. And that is dan Quinn. That's 581 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: what he's been doing. If we just and I think 582 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: we just have a date with let's just say it, 583 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,959 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and everybody wants to say, well, what happens? 584 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: Will we run into Green Bay? Aaron Rodgers don't want 585 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: to smoke, and if he does, that running game is 586 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: gonna have to be clicking and everything else their defense 587 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: and what they're giving up. I think, man, when teams 588 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: recognize that Dak is getting this running game back going, 589 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: hey man, it's trouble. You should feel good about this team, man, 590 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,719 Speaker 1: you should feel good about them winning. A couple of playoffs, 591 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: playoff games. Isaiah, I believe there's a number of things, Josh, 592 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: that are really that have contributed to their failure going 593 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: into the playoffs or at the playoff position versus now. 594 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: And one of the main things, obviously is leadership. This team, 595 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: this particular team, has not been under this leadership and 596 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: had failure at that level. You have Mike McCarthy, you 597 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: have Dan Quinn, you have multiple other coaches on this 598 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: coach and staff that know what it takes not only 599 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: to get to the playoffs, but succeed in the playoffs. 600 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, succeed at the Super Bowl. 601 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: So you have a level of understanding. Instead of hope, 602 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: you have actual understanding and a game plan from multiple 603 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: sources within your organization that know how to manage your 604 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: team through through those situations and ultimately to your goal. 605 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: So you couple that with the aspect of now you 606 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: have a person nail to actually execute it. Offensively, you 607 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: have a solid offense that everybody's getting healthy, so hopefully 608 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: these these next two weeks you have all your guys 609 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: going into the playoff run. That's awesome, Okay, boom. Now 610 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: you go to the defensive side, you have more personnel, 611 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: more talent, and more guys willing to go out there 612 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: and go out to give it. They're all make plays, 613 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: play like a like a brotherhood than you've ever had 614 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: really not say ever, but in a very long time 615 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: within this organization, and everything is clicking. So it's a 616 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 1: heckless point. The defense is playing well, the office is 617 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: playing well. You have all the personnel, you have health 618 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: on your side. Oh and by the way, you have 619 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: a bunch of coaches on this staff right here that 620 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: understand what it takes to get there, go through it 621 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: and ultimately winning. Rob totally agree with you, guys. I mean, 622 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: top of the show we talked about. Look, it's the 623 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 1: complimentary thing, like there's not right now when they're playing 624 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: at their best, there's not really a weakness on this 625 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: team in terms of when you go through all three 626 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: phases and so, but I would really highlight the defense 627 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 1: more than anything, like Heck said. You know, Isaiah was 628 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: part of a Giants team that won the Super Bowl, 629 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: and really both those Giants teams that got pressure without 630 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: having to send a bunch of extra guys, and that's 631 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: how you can have a chance to win against an 632 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in the playoffs and some of these great 633 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that they're possibly going to run into. That's why 634 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: I keep pointing towards Sunday, though, because Kyler Murray, you know, 635 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: is going to present a different challenge with his ability 636 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: to scramble and move around. And you know, I don't 637 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: know if if the teams in the past that had 638 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: a chance, like the playoff teams that Josh mentioned or 639 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 1: the Twitter question mentioned, really limted the playoffs. But I 640 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: think you know that twenty eighteen team had a weakness. 641 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: They couldn't stop the run. They're better against the run 642 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: this year than they were that season, but again, a 643 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: big test on Sunday, can you keep it going. I'd 644 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: still think though, it comes down to the d line 645 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: pressure because you have to have that against championship quarterbacks 646 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, especially mobile ones at that and you're 647 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: going to get a great test with that with Kyler 648 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: Murray coming up this week. But I want to go 649 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: back to what Isaiah was talking about in the coaching staff. 650 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: I feel like that doesn't get enough credit right now 651 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: because you look across this coaching staff and it's not 652 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 1: just Mike McCarthy and the Super Bowl that he won 653 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,800 Speaker 1: with Green Bay. It's the dan Quinn's of the world. 654 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: It's the Joe Witt Juniors and the Doug nust Meyers. 655 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 1: These are guys that down the list have won either 656 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowls, national championships. They've gotten to the mountaintop where 657 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 1: their sport is. And you've been a guy who of 658 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: course has gotten there as well or been on a 659 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: team that's gotten to a Super Bowl and won a 660 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So how big of an impact do coaches 661 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: make whenever you are getting close to making a run, 662 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 1: when you have the opportunity or at least the potential 663 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: to get to that mountaintop. How big are the coaches 664 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: to allow that to let it happen. They're major, and 665 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 1: they don't. They don't get enough credit. And when you have, 666 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 1: when you have, they're the leaders. Let's let's play that 667 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: out there. The coaches staff are the leaders of this organization. Okay, 668 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 1: it goes to the ownership and he goes management, then 669 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: it goes coaches. Okay, then it goes players, and the 670 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 1: players are simply execute what they're being hot and they 671 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: go along with the game plan that's laid out for them. 672 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: You got coach McCarthy that it does a heck of 673 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 1: a job of understanding. Hey, I've been to the show. 674 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 1: I've been to the playoffs a bunch of times, right, 675 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: I know how to manage my team health wise, approach wise, 676 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: during practice, all the different out you know, the different 677 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: ins and outs that get you to that point to 678 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,319 Speaker 1: be competitive in the playoffs. I understand that, and I 679 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 1: know how to win a dog on Super Bowl. Okay, 680 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,879 Speaker 1: let's go to dan Quinn. Dan Quinn knows the same 681 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 1: exact thing. He knows how to manage your team and 682 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,359 Speaker 1: get you there. He's won a Super Bowl. But one 683 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,399 Speaker 1: thing that's not getting enough credits the fact that dan 684 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: Quinn gave up a Super Bowl. He lost it in 685 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 1: the worst way ever in the history of football, and 686 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 1: that hurts him. That kills him on the inside, the 687 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: same way that we saw Alan or Pain whoever that 688 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: was order shaking on the sideline pissed off. That is 689 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: dan Quinn on the inside. He has that little hole 690 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,839 Speaker 1: in his heart and he's trying to patch that thing up. 691 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,360 Speaker 1: So anytime you have a pain point in your life, 692 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 1: you do everything you can from that point forward to 693 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 1: ensure that it never happens again. So he had that's 694 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: that that motivates him going forward, and he's doing he's 695 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: doing everything he can to make sure that he doesn't 696 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: repeat that again this year. You know, they say, you know, 697 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: they say, experience is a good teacher, Isaiah, and we 698 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: have plenty of experiencing. You've echoed this the entire time, 699 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: the culture, the culture changing aspect of the coaches that 700 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: we have. And I remember at the beginning of the 701 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,720 Speaker 1: season when the Hard Knocks was going on and Coach 702 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 1: McCarthy talking about that it takes seventy seven men to 703 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl and that was his experience when 704 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 1: he was in Green Bay. Just think about how many 705 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,800 Speaker 1: guys have come on this roster and off the roster 706 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 1: and how many I don't know what that number is 707 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: to date, but I'm sure it's getting up there with 708 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 1: their number of injuries and guys that we've had to 709 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 1: fill in. But because of the culture change, you're not 710 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,799 Speaker 1: sweating it the same way that you did last year 711 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,839 Speaker 1: when guys went down, you know. And I just think 712 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 1: all of that is a byproduct of everything that you 713 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: just said, Isaiah, that when you bring in coaches that 714 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 1: have that experience, that have been to the mountaintop. They 715 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,840 Speaker 1: know how to coach these guys through it. Coach McCarthy 716 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: even in an interview when he asked about, you know, 717 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 1: kind of dolling things down for his team, he said, 718 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,280 Speaker 1: you know, I had years where I had a great team, 719 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: but I just pounded those guys and pounded them, and 720 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: when I needed them to get to the next level, 721 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: I took it all out of them on the practice field. 722 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 1: And so maybe dolling these practices back and being the 723 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 1: ultimate player coaches because his coach, because the players love 724 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: him right now for that and they're rewarding him for 725 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: that by going out and putting it on the field. 726 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 1: That's a great point. He definitely said that. The other 727 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 1: thing he said is he likes to get young players 728 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 1: experience early in the season because it's gonna pay off 729 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 1: late because you're gonna need, like you said, seventy seven guys. 730 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 1: I'd argue they're already above that when you factor in 731 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: the larger practice squads now and the guys they've had 732 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:52,360 Speaker 1: used because of injury. So he's had that opportunity because 733 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 1: of the injuries they've had. And I think, you know, 734 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 1: think of Ansa Diggi Zua, the experience he's gotten early 735 00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: in the season that can help make him a better 736 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: player by this point in the season. This, y'all brought 737 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 1: up a great point. I just want to point out 738 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,879 Speaker 1: one news and note left, and that's the fact that 739 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: teams with head coaching vacancies can start talking to NFL 740 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: assistance for head coaching jobs the final two weeks of 741 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,400 Speaker 1: the season. So we're here now starting today, So obviously 742 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,879 Speaker 1: dan Quinn could get some interests, Kellen Moore could get 743 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 1: some interests. We'll see. Both guys were asked about it yesterday, 744 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 1: kind of deflected it. Jerry didn't want to discuss that 745 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 1: possibility or getting specifics today on the fan. But it's 746 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on, and it's it's a 747 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 1: I would call it a good problem to have because 748 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: it shows the hell of a job that this coaching 749 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 1: staff's done. To y'all's point, I would rather have this 750 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 1: problem than having like the Mike Nolan situation from twenty 751 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 1: to twenty, where it's like, are we done with him yet? 752 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: Or what's going on? No, it's more so, oh, can 753 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 1: we hold on to dan Quinn? Can we find a 754 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,359 Speaker 1: way to keep him here? And that I would much 755 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 1: rather have that problem than what was happening a year 756 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: ago around this time as well. But that is interesting. 757 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk a little bit more about dan Quinn 758 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: and his game plan on Kyler Murray and so on 759 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,760 Speaker 1: and so forth going into tomorrow's show as we preview 760 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,920 Speaker 1: the Cardinals offense and the Cowboys defense. But when we 761 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,840 Speaker 1: come back, we got a couple more Twitter questions and 762 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,400 Speaker 1: we wrap things up. How about a bubble?

Though I like Gardner, and that's one of 814 00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 1: the few Washington State guys that I would approve of. 815 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 1: I got you, No, we know you're you dumb for life. 816 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:40,240 Speaker 1: Got the Purple and Gold you bleeded. Final segment. Final 817 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,760 Speaker 1: segment here of talking Cowboys, Isaiah Standback, heck Ma Harrison, 818 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,359 Speaker 1: Rob Phillips, and Kyle Yeoman's Chris Beam hold it down 819 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 1: back at the mother Ship at the Star in Frisco. So, guys, 820 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 1: I got one more Twitter question for us before we 821 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 1: wrap things up, and I teased it going into the break. 822 00:42:55,160 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 1: Alice Alex asked on Twitter. Could be because of the 823 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 1: spike in COVID cases? How is it and how it's 824 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:07,800 Speaker 1: affected potential teams performances in the NFL? Could the Cowboys 825 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:11,719 Speaker 1: be considering a bubble from here on out because of 826 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,799 Speaker 1: how special this team could be? And of course, the 827 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 1: main issue right now is the fact of trying to 828 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: stay healthy going into the final games of the regular 829 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 1: season and then of course into the playoffs. So Rob, 830 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,360 Speaker 1: I'll start with you on this one. Is there a 831 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,279 Speaker 1: possibility of a bubble even being discussed? I know they 832 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,960 Speaker 1: had had that prior to training camp in twenty twenty 833 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 1: with the Omni and they have the resources to do so, 834 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,799 Speaker 1: but is it even going to happen. I don't know 835 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 1: if the entire team would do it, Kyle. I think 836 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,479 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy was asked about this recently, and I think 837 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 1: maybe on an individual basis, it's possible that guys might 838 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 1: do that. I mean, Mike did that prior to getting 839 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,960 Speaker 1: COVID a few weeks ago, just trying to keep his 840 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 1: family safe, trying to isolate a little bit because they 841 00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 1: were having some cases in the staff. So I think 842 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,000 Speaker 1: maybe on an end of dual basis, I don't know 843 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,200 Speaker 1: if it would be a team wide operation thing necessarily, 844 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,440 Speaker 1: even though they've got amenities to do a lot of that. 845 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 1: You know, in some regards, I think, you know, we're 846 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,360 Speaker 1: in a better place than we were last year because 847 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 1: of the vaccine, but look, cases are rising because this 848 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 1: new variant obviously is so contagious. So I think it's 849 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,760 Speaker 1: something maybe to continue to look at. Maybe there's discussions, 850 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 1: but I don't know that the entire team would do that. 851 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 1: I believe it's something that to look at, and to 852 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,919 Speaker 1: ross point, I'm not sure if they actually would go through, 853 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,919 Speaker 1: but it's a consideration, and I think It's a great question. 854 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 1: It's a valid question. When you have something that you're 855 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,200 Speaker 1: so close to you you don't get that many opportunities 856 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,280 Speaker 1: to secure the bag in terms of a super Bowl. 857 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,560 Speaker 1: So as they approached the playoffs, I would not put 858 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,040 Speaker 1: it off the table. On a matter of fact, I'll 859 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,680 Speaker 1: throw the whole thing on the table, because you depending 860 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,600 Speaker 1: on it. If you get the first seed, second, whatever 861 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,520 Speaker 1: seed you get, you either got a three or four 862 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,799 Speaker 1: game run. And so those for those for those four 863 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,719 Speaker 1: to those four to five weeks, depending on how far 864 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,240 Speaker 1: you get. You know, you want to ensure the safety 865 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:09,319 Speaker 1: and the validity of your of your opportunities as much 866 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 1: as possible. So if that requires you staying in there 867 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,000 Speaker 1: in a hotel for a month to get your shot 868 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,520 Speaker 1: at walking away with that dog on Lombardi, ain't lock 869 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,200 Speaker 1: it up. I can do. I can do a month. 870 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:19,839 Speaker 1: I can do an I got a month for you. 871 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:24,719 Speaker 1: Other than that, I don't know that part. No, I 872 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 1: love it. I love what you just said. And I 873 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,719 Speaker 1: think the situation is so fluid right now in the 874 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,800 Speaker 1: NFL that they're just trying to do the best that 875 00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,880 Speaker 1: they possibly can. He just mentioned, he just gave you 876 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 1: the number since like December the twelfth or whatever, four 877 00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:42,720 Speaker 1: hundred players more or more players have tested positive. Guys. 878 00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 1: It's just look, man, it's a serious situation. We're talking 879 00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:50,360 Speaker 1: about football, but just worldwide. This is a serious situation. 880 00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,799 Speaker 1: And obviously we've looked at different leagues and how they've 881 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,160 Speaker 1: dealt with, how the NBA went into the bubble and 882 00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 1: all of that. Obviously, the NFL has got to be 883 00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,120 Speaker 1: looking at this as well because they don't want to 884 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:05,719 Speaker 1: have anything interrupt the NFL playoffs. You can't have a 885 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,120 Speaker 1: game where one of your star players is out because 886 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,319 Speaker 1: of COVID, right, So I think a bubble situation may 887 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,839 Speaker 1: be called for. But you know, when you have a 888 00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 1: guy like Isaiah who's been to the mountaintop and says, 889 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,239 Speaker 1: like a month, I'll due a month, And I'm sure 890 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,600 Speaker 1: that isn't a player with a star omers helmet that 891 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:25,879 Speaker 1: wouldn't isolate himself to hoist that Lombardi Trophy and make 892 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:30,360 Speaker 1: sure that everybody is straight and everybody's safe. Now, you 893 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 1: do it for a month anyway during training camp, if 894 00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 1: you go out to ox Nord, you're out there for 895 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,800 Speaker 1: a month or so, and so hey, it makes sense. 896 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,000 Speaker 1: I think I'm right there with you, guys, and I 897 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 1: love how you attacked all three levels. Rob said, from 898 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,480 Speaker 1: an individual standpoint, some guys may say, hey, let me 899 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,880 Speaker 1: go take this time away. Isaiah said, Hey, as a team, 900 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 1: you have an opportunity to do something special year. Don't 901 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,319 Speaker 1: let it slip. Don't let something affect that in those 902 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,279 Speaker 1: four games, those playoff games, this final run. Don't let 903 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,240 Speaker 1: that be the case. And Heckma says, well, what about 904 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:04,239 Speaker 1: the league. The league could potentially do something about it. 905 00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,360 Speaker 1: So I think you attack all three levels there, and 906 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,440 Speaker 1: at some point a solution should be available to at 907 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:14,000 Speaker 1: least ensure the possibility or at least lower the possibility 908 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 1: that you are going to be affected by COVID heading 909 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:18,880 Speaker 1: into the playoffs, because I think that's a lot of 910 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,759 Speaker 1: people's worries at the moment, and I'm on the same 911 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,800 Speaker 1: page as you guys. I think they should consider something 912 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:28,799 Speaker 1: to try and stifle this before it really gets any worse. 913 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,320 Speaker 1: But we've got plenty more of storylines to talk about 914 00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,719 Speaker 1: throughout the rest of the week. Tomorrow, we preview the 915 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:39,800 Speaker 1: Cowboys defense taking on Kyler Murray and that Arizona offense 916 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:44,680 Speaker 1: without DeAndre Hopkins, but still very very dangerous coming out 917 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,200 Speaker 1: of the NFC West, and we'll talk about that more 918 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 1: tomorrow nine am Central Time, but that doesn't for us today. 919 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,640 Speaker 1: For Rob Phillips isaiashs dan Back, Heck Maharrison, and Chris 920 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,319 Speaker 1: bean Back at the Star.
