If you are listening to 3 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: the podcast, this is part two of the two part 4 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: Monday podcast. 5 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 2: We do every week. 6 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: Doesn't matter what order you listen to them. There's different 7 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: subject matter on each one. Stick around for this one, 8 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: go back to the first one, whatever you want to do. 9 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 1: For those of you watch us on the NFL channel 10 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: on fast streaming platforms, Welcome back for those of us 11 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: those of you on YouTube, Yes I did that in 12 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: part one and part two. Confused am I watching or 13 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: am I part of it? Let's just say it's both. 14 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: Let's get into the Baltimore Ravens, who we all knew 15 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: coming into Week eight needed a win in the worst way, 16 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: and we thought, for a variety of reasons that that 17 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: would be involving Lamar Jackson's returny and it did not happen, 18 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: despite being listened as a full participant in practice, despite 19 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: John Harbass and even back before the buye that he 20 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: anticipated Lamar playing against the Bears. But the first sign, 21 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: I mean that something was amiss was Saturday morning and 22 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,279 Speaker 1: you had a report that Lamar was taking practice squad reps. 23 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: Take me through what happens from there and how we 24 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: really got to this point of now continuing to speculate 25 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: about whether or not Lamar is gonna play this coming 26 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: week on Thursday night against the Dolphins. 27 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, really fascinating, kind of weird situation. So I'm checking 28 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 3: in Saturday morning just to make sure everything's fine. Like 29 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 3: I think, like a lot of people, I assumed Lamar 30 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 3: Jackson was going to play on Sunday, and so I 31 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 3: check in with people who I think would know, and 32 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 3: I say, it's making sure Lamar is good. And the 33 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 3: response I got from one person was like, yeah, like 34 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 3: had a good week, had a good day of practice 35 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 3: on Friday, no issues, ran the scout team And I'm like, okay, 36 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 3: wait what And so then I checked, Yes, Lamar ran 37 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 3: the scout team. I'm like, okay, that seems to be 38 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 3: that he is not playing. So I checked with someone 39 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 3: else and the response I got was he's out and 40 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 3: it's going to be snoop hunting. So I put it 41 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 3: all together there, check with a couple more people, and 42 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 3: then the tweeting that Lamar Jackson ran the scout team 43 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 3: and that was his participation right, And so I tweeted 44 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 3: as an indication I don't know for sure for sure, 45 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 3: but as an indication he's unlikely to play. You guys 46 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 3: both text me. I think Tom might have texted first, 47 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 3: but Mike was on the same page. Hang on, why 48 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 3: was he listed as full? And I say to you 49 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 3: guys privately, well, he's full because he took all his 50 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 3: reps and you say, okay, but that's not what full means. 51 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 2: And I was interjected really quickly that. 52 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: Then there were twenty texts where as my lights just 53 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: got turned off back there, want to just go ahead 54 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: and turn on my lights on. 55 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: That was a lot of fun, very romantic. 56 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: There were solely twenty texts of you going, what do 57 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: you mean he was full? He was taking full practice club. 58 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: It's like no QB one you take normal reps. QB 59 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: one takes QB one reps. That's literally how this works, 60 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: which makes it yeah, it is just it's policy. 61 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 3: And it became never as I don't know that it's 62 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 3: ever come up like like, I've never at least I've 63 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 3: never thought about it like that, and so then. 64 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 4: Saying that you should know it. The team knows it's writing. 65 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 3: I should we report on these things, just like we 66 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 3: should know what injuries are like, like honestly, like I 67 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 3: should know, and now I do know in interesting fashion. 68 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 3: So then start to hear like, all right, the Ravens 69 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 3: are going to make a change. They change Lamar's status, 70 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 3: he's limited, he's out, stup, Punley is the starter, and 71 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 3: then plays well enough to win and they are somehow 72 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 3: still alive in what was a really, really impressive absolutely 73 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 3: had to have a victory. 74 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 4: Uh. 75 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't wait to see how the league addresses 76 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 5: this issue with the injury reporting, because especially in the 77 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 5: current climate, I mean the whole, the whole point of 78 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 5: the injury. 79 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 4: Reporting is for gambling purposes, to insulate everything. 80 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: In a week where there was some news about that, 81 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: in a week where there was. 82 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 5: A significant gambling scandal in the headlines, in that climate, 83 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 5: I would expect that the league will be very careful 84 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 5: and does not look kindly on poor injury reporting. 85 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 4: However it happened, whether it was. 86 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 5: An innocent mistake some would have you believe, or whether 87 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 5: it was you know, playing around with the injury report, 88 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 5: however it happened. Yeah, it's troubling, and I'm very curious 89 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 5: to see how the league addresses. 90 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:39,799 Speaker 2: It, Judy, how many. 91 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 5: Has they've had to addressed it before They've they've done 92 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 5: it before with teams. They have given big finds to 93 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 5: teams that have played around with the jury report. 94 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 2: I don't know, like correcting it doesn't help. 95 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 6: It's not like we'll tell our kids they don't get it, 96 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 6: but would tell them, like if you make a mistake, 97 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 6: just just tell them me, and it'd be worse if 98 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 6: you didn't tell me, like that kind of thing. So 99 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 6: it's almost like, well, they addressed it and they changed it, 100 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 6: but it's still like in a week where everything happened, 101 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 6: you're talking about uh, related to gambling and related to 102 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 6: what's happening in the NBA. Like it's too late, it 103 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 6: doesn't all that doesn't matter. How many head coaches have 104 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 6: you covered in. 105 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: Your kay whatever, any stories are over, we're back, Yeah, Judy, 106 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: how many head coaches have you covered in your career? 107 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 7: I mean we're talking hundreds right between. Yes, exactly. 108 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 6: Your experience with head coaches, they tend to know a 109 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 6: lot of things about what's happening in the billboard. 110 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 2: Like just you don't have to answer any of these. 111 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 7: I'm just speaking out. 112 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 2: Like the notion that's something as important as the injury report. 113 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 7: Well, that's not me. I don't I don't think like these. 114 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 2: Dudes know what's being served for lunch. 115 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 6: I did a tour of the facility one time with 116 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 6: Sean Payton, and as Steve Smith and I were station 117 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 6: there for training camp, he gave us an entire like 118 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 6: like where the lighting is in the building, and oh, 119 00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 6: the weight room had to be here. 120 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 3: And wasn't there a story about Sean Payton seeing terrible 121 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 3: fan towels? 122 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: What was that story? And he was like, hold on, 123 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: hold on, let's focus here for a secon. Sorry, here, 124 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: here's my main question. Okay, because remember this begins with 125 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: John Harbaugh going to the podium on Friday and saying, yeah, 126 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,239 Speaker 1: Lamar was out there, he was full, right, That's where 127 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: full initially came from, and then that's reflected on the report. 128 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: My question at a deeper level that goes beyond you 129 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: know whatever, if you take it face value, their explanation, 130 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: which was, hey, it had never come up before as 131 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: an oversight. 132 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 2: My question is. 133 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: This, If Lamar was taking every rep on the scout team, 134 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: what is holding him back from taking every rep in 135 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: the game. Now you're coming back from a hamstring It's 136 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: an injury that they thought Ian he was going to 137 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: be able to return from. John Harbaugh said that publicly, 138 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: they do have a short week before Thursday game. There's 139 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: a lot of different factors involved. Lamar's on the sideline, 140 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: you know, and listen, Snowputley went out and did what 141 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: snow Putley does. I know what his record is as 142 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: a starter, but it seems like whenever they have a 143 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: gotta have it type of game, he's able to go 144 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: out and play pretty well. But it's still unusual, and 145 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: everything with Lamar is a little bit different. You're never 146 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: quite sure if what you would assume is true with 147 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: one player is going to apply to Lamar just because 148 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: he approaches things in a different way. 149 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: That's worked very welfare. 150 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: But what is your understanding of why he ultimately did 151 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: not play in that game, and what if anything that 152 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: says about is he actually going to be out there 153 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: Thursday night against the Dolphins. 154 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's a good question, and I knew, I 155 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: know there are some people in the building that thought 156 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 3: Lamar was going to play Sunday. There is nothing wrong 157 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 3: with him not playing. We do see this from time 158 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 3: to time a guy. You think a guy is ready, 159 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 3: you say like, hey, the time frame and the vikings 160 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 3: with Jaj McCarthy the same thing. It's like, well, he 161 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 3: could be ready, but he's not. He doesn't feel ready. 162 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 3: So if he doesn't feel ready, then he's just not 163 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 3: going to play well and he's not ready. That is okay. 164 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 3: The expectation game was harder because coming out of going 165 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 3: into the by John, how much as we expect him 166 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 3: to be ready and everyone in the world is like boom, 167 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 3: that means he's playing. He didn't feel ready, he didn't 168 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 3: feel right. I do believe he plays Thursday, but you're 169 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 3: right with Lamar, it's like like it's almost like they 170 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 3: don't ever want to speak with any certainty about him 171 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 3: because they go, hey, it could be it could be 172 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 3: a lot of things. That's just that's life with one 173 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 3: of the most talented players we've seen in a very 174 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 3: long time. It's just part of it. 175 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 6: You know. 176 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, now that Thursday night game is against the Dolphins 177 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: team that I think a lot of people who've been 178 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: speculating since probably before the season began about Mike McDaniel's 179 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: future added circled. Okay, Thursday night game. If they were 180 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: to make a change, it could be around then all 181 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you watched the game yesterday Judy for 182 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, and it's like, that's the team that Mike 183 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: McDaniels taking to the playoffs. A couple of times I 184 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: was told and I reported it yesterday in one of 185 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 1: our insider segments on game day morning. Everybody said the 186 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: way that they challenged him and pushed the tempo and 187 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: practice like he looked like the old Tua. You never 188 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: know how that's going to carry over to the game. 189 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: But one eye swollen shut when he woke up in 190 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: all that was the Tua and that was the offense 191 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: that we've all been been waiting for. 192 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 5: I mean, I assume he's going to just have to 193 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 5: wear Advisor forever now, right, Like this is the new thing. 194 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 5: I mean, I again, I was following the scores, you know, 195 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 5: had red zone on my computer while we were watching 196 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 5: the Eagles game, and I was like, where where's this 197 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 5: coming from? I mean, that was what the Dolphins were 198 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 5: supposed to look like and haven't looked like at all 199 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 5: this season. I mean, and now you wonder if they 200 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 5: can they replicate this. I mean, did something did they 201 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 5: just turn a corner? Is this the Dolphins now? And 202 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 5: they've gotten past whatever was happening and now Tua is fine? 203 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 5: I mean they turned the ball over right, tu ahead? 204 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 5: How many turnovers in the last two with something we did? 205 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 5: Six or something insane? And then he plays like this 206 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 5: game of the year again. My only question watching all 207 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 5: of it is now is that the Dolphins and going forward? 208 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 4: Is that the Dolphins team that it's going to be? 209 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 4: Because you know, that's a pretty good Dolphins game. 210 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 2: They're two and six. 211 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: They got their work cut out for him to try 212 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: to claw their way back into this thing. But again, 213 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: if you're if you're evaluating the programmingan like as you 214 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: reported a month or so ago, Steven Ross is and 215 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: he's a courseman and an owner who's shown a lot 216 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 1: of patience, like this is what you want to see. 217 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: Remember they don't have Tyreek right now. I mean that 218 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: was a pretty massive loss for the team. They've had 219 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: all kinds of moving parts on the offensive line. You're 220 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: just going, all right, our guys still bought in. It 221 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: was very apparent they were yesterday. And can the quarterback 222 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: get playing better again? That's two for two at least 223 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 1: for one game in Atlanta. 224 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, they are the players bought in is going to 225 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 3: do a lot of work here because you know, you're right, 226 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 3: like I reported that seymar Ross likes Mike McDaniel and 227 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 3: really isn't no hurry to fire him if he fires 228 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 3: him at all. We don't know how it's going to be. 229 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 3: But are the players playing? And I was talking to 230 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 3: someone who's in the locker room not this week, but 231 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 3: last week after they lost that was the Browns game, right, yeah, 232 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 3: and was like I saw a players caring. I saw 233 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 3: players distraught, frustrated feelings like they were not checked out. 234 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 3: It mattered to them. And I know they sucked and lost, 235 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 3: but like the way the players responded in the locker 236 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 3: room that and then the way they respond on the 237 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 3: field like that sort of tells you what they think 238 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 3: about Mike McDaniels. So I would say, like, the people 239 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 3: I've been speaking with are thankfully right that the players 240 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 3: care and are still playing for a Mike. And if 241 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 3: that's going to continue, then maybe they can turn around. 242 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 7: We'll see. 243 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 6: I'm more the other side of this game is not fascinating, 244 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 6: but it's confusing, Like I can't figure out the Falcons. 245 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 6: I have no idea what they are. I have no 246 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 6: idea who they are. I don't know why. Some they 247 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 6: show up they look fantastic, especially on defense, and in 248 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 6: some weeks they just absolutely do what they did yesterday, 249 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 6: which is I can come up with a bunch of 250 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 6: things I don't want to repeat and say, because this 251 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 6: is still a family program, So I. 252 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 2: Like, you want consistency. The highser great. 253 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 6: The lows are just so incredibly low, and it just 254 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 6: feels like it's just ping ponging back and forth. It's 255 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 6: not like two or three good, two or three bad 256 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 6: back to two or three good. 257 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 7: It's like one one one one one one. 258 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 6: And I understand that was uh Michael Pennix didn't play 259 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 6: in this game, and I guess I was disappointed that 260 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 6: Kirk Cousins didn't do more and this outfense didn't do 261 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 6: more with Kirk Cousins in there. 262 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 3: But like I know Drake London too, By the way, 263 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 3: what's that no, Drake London. 264 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 2: Drake London as which was another injury report switch on 265 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 2: the on the day before the game. 266 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 6: Still got to be a one in sixteen coming in 267 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 6: at home in your building. 268 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 7: If you think you're a playoffs. 269 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: Four from the insiders, after this, would you look at 270 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: the NFC as a whole right now? There are more 271 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: question marks than it feels like we have known study 272 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: case in point yet yesterday the Cowboys, much like Mike 273 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: was just talking about the Falcons, have been this drastically 274 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: up and down operation. The offense most weeks has been 275 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: there this season. It was not yesterday in Denver. The 276 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: defense once again was just horrible. I know, they don't 277 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: have pass rushers, they don't have corners. Those are two 278 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: pretty important positions that you need to have to be functional. 279 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: But still against the Broncos offense that had really struggled 280 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: to get going, especially early in games, what forty four 281 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: points yesterday? There's a lot of interesting things in questions 282 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: for Jerry Jones and company to sift through in terms 283 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: of what is this team and is whatever we do 284 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: with the trade deadline actually going to. 285 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 7: Make a difference here in twenty twenty five? 286 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 5: Yeah, because let's be real, they're not one player away, right, 287 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 5: even one really really good player away. 288 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 4: They're not. 289 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 5: They need multiple things. I mean, that was a I thought, 290 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 5: surprisingly bad performance for the Cowboys. I thought they would 291 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 5: be closer to the Broncos, especially because we had seen 292 00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 5: the Broncos struggle. I mean, the Broncos struggled to score against. 293 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 4: The Jets, right, like yeah. 294 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 5: Just to give you an yeah, see against multiple teams, 295 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 5: but like recently against the Jets. They won that game, 296 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 5: but it was a really low scoring game. And then 297 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 5: there's just this offensive explosion and if you take a 298 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 5: step back, they have to look at the Cowboys and be. 299 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 4: Like, what, I mean, what was that? 300 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 5: And at the same time, you're right, I mean their 301 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 5: offense was not a Dack was certainly not at the 302 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 5: level that he has been all season. I think it's 303 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 5: going to be really interesting to see what they're what 304 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 5: they do at the trade upline, because again, they can't 305 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 5: look at that team and think like, well, if we 306 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 5: just go get one big piece, you. 307 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 4: Know, we're in the NFC mix. They're not. 308 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm not. 309 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 3: I don't really feel like they I mean, we'll see 310 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 3: what they do. But I know what Jerry said publicly, 311 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 3: Internally with the Cowboys, I know they're looking. I don't 312 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 3: really get the sense that they're like actually, I mean, yeah, 313 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 3: something's gonna happen now, I'm sure, But like I don't 314 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 3: get the sense that they're really in on anything major 315 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 3: at all. Everything I get is kind of like, yeah, 316 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 3: no momentum, So we'll see if they actually add anything. 317 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 3: I was talking to someone about bo Nicks and this 318 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 3: person was like, yeah, you know what if bo Nicks 319 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 3: is an MVP candidate, and I was kind of like, 320 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 3: I mean, Dak Prescott would be literally the MVP if 321 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 3: he got to play against his own defense all the time, Like, 322 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 3: that's he would be. He throwed for six thousand yards. 323 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 3: I mean it's the Cowboys. 324 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb and George Pickens also make an unbelievable catches 325 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: for him all the time. Dak's played really well, but 326 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: he's got two great receivers. Like, I don't know that 327 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: your average fan is tuning into a Broncos game and 328 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: can name three of the other offensive skill guys on 329 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: the Betrayer. 330 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 3: That's probably true. I mean, bo Nix is right, He's 331 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 3: he's been up and down. That did play well Sunday. 332 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 3: The main thing I wondered about the Cowboys, and this 333 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 3: is something that will never will never escape, is like 334 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 3: how much better would they be if they had Micah. 335 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 3: I maintained that the Cowboys trade for Mike, trade of Micah, 336 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 3: assuming they use it to get a game changing, franchise 337 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 3: changing player or play, maybe a quarterback Parsons well, or 338 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 3: maybe a course, you know, Dak Prescott's in his thirties, 339 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 3: maybe a quarterback that would be that would be worth it, 340 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 3: I think, But like what would they be with Michael Parsons. 341 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 3: How many like you know, baseball does war, Like what 342 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 3: would Michael Parsons war be on the Cowboys?

Not that Aaron's surprise, he once was, but 352 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: it's it's like a it's like a Jurassic Park film, 353 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: you know, where you're just like that velociraptor is going 354 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: to catch up with that dude.
