<v Speaker 1>that's right. Let's get that long weekend after this one

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I think Mickey's Bagnola's showing up at some point. I

0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 1>don't will he will, eventually, he'll figure out how to

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 1>get back over here. Yeah. Still get still yelling at

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 1>the guys on the fan. Absolutely, yeah, Ken Garrison dropping

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 1>those drops next door? All right, we got one day left, yeah,

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 1>for the big showdown. I figured out yet, I think.

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>So we're gonna make our picks in the final segment, okay,

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.119
<v Speaker 1>and picks to click as well. Yeah, and we can

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>spend the next hour our final diagnosis, our final keys

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:37.320
<v Speaker 1>to the game and matchups. And I don't know you've

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>been spending all week. Yeah, I'm trying to find this

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 1>thing out. Yeah, you feel any better about it? Matchup now? Yeah?

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:45.959
<v Speaker 1>I do. I feel better in some regards. I think

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>there's some strengths. I'm really worried about what's gonna happen.

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I know Mickey's gonna come in here, We're probably gonna

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 1>go through the injury report. I'm worried about the situation

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 1>with Tyren Smith. You know, that's another no practice yesterday,

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.480
<v Speaker 1>the only practice if he were to practice today, it's

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>basically a walkthrough. And you know that Tyren Smith is

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>an all pro left tackle, and you know, and it's

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>he could probably roll out of bed and go play.

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 1>But still there's that that factor. The one thing that

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I do feel good about is that Camp flaming least

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 1>got work this week. You know, last week he was

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 1>basically coming off the field, and you know, Jason Garrett

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.959
<v Speaker 1>walked up to him, or Mark Colombo walked up to

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 1>him and said, hey, you're starting to night, you know,

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 1>be ready and good luck, but good luck. And he

0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, he went out there and did Okay, I'm

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>not going to say he did great, but he did. Okay,

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Mickey's right. They got him a little help. But you know,

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>once again, you're talking about guys. You know with the Saints,

0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.359
<v Speaker 1>you know Cameron Jordan and you know and OAKA four

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 1>and what those guys can present as rushers. And the

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys have not shown the ability to really protect overall

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.360
<v Speaker 1>that did the second half of that football game. But

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, you keep taking you know, guys off the

0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 1>field that are big time players. It hurts you. Now

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>you know the same answer in a similar situation with

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong or assuming Armstead, yes, you know him being out

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 1>and so you know bush Rod would be the replacement there.

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>He did make the start it last Thursday against Atlanta.

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:18.359
<v Speaker 1>He would be the weak link of this Atlanta keep

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>talking like I'm crazy today, this New Orleans offensive line,

0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>right And okay, now do you take advantage of the

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>situation with him? Do you do you put rushers to

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 1>his side? Do you you know, do you take the

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Lawrence and walk him over there? You know, all

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.640
<v Speaker 1>the things that you think about you might want to

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>do to create opportunity. But I think the I think

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 1>where the rush is going to have to be the

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>most important for the Cowboys in this matchup. It's through

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>the middle. I think, you know, if you can get

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 1>guys to win early, that that affects Drew Brees more

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>than things from the backside, because his game is all

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 1>about looking over the top of the defense, you know,

0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>moving a little bit, slide a little bit, adjusting himself.

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>So the way he gets affected in the pocket is

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 1>things that happened in front of him. Now, most NFL

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks struggle with that, but him especially because he has

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>to be able to see, to keep his eyes down

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 1>the field. He's six feet tall, and we've seen it

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 1>over the year, every bit of that. Yeah, backing up,

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 1>backing up for drops, trying to see over the middle

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:23.359
<v Speaker 1>of that defense. Sure, mickey, welcome, Hi. He's just a

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 1>little taller than me, just a little bit, just a

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 1>little bits all Yeah, did you get yelled at just

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.279
<v Speaker 1>now on the fan? So no, I was so engaging

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 1>they kept me longer. Oh, goody good, Sorry to steal

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:37.960
<v Speaker 1>your time. Not at all, not at all. You got

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.720
<v Speaker 1>this thing figured out? Oh yeah, absolutely, all right, you

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>got your pick ready for later in the show. Yeah,

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.360
<v Speaker 1>doing it tomorrow, so yes, yeah, we got I was

0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 1>thinking tomorrow it's game time. Yeah, okay, all right, you

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:51.359
<v Speaker 1>go hang out with all the old men in the

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.680
<v Speaker 1>sauna and talk about it there. You know, sometimes you

0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.320
<v Speaker 1>figure a lot of things out in the absolutely that's

0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:01.239
<v Speaker 1>happened out the sun. That's a good point in Michael

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Irvin one night in Minnesota or one afternoon in Minnesota,

0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.359
<v Speaker 1>I had a great conversation while he was injured and

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>wasn't playing in the sauna. Didn't you tell me a

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 1>story though recently where you were in a sauna at

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.920
<v Speaker 1>the gym and some guy just recognized you and started

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>asking you about Yeah, yeah, yeah, I try to go

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.600
<v Speaker 1>in there and hopefully there's a lot of steam, keep

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.279
<v Speaker 1>a towel over your head, don't hear your voice, and

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 1>keep a towel your right, and all of a sudden

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>night here I recognize that voice exactly. It's a compliment.

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 1>That's what happens when you're celebrity focused. I don't know

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.480
<v Speaker 1>about that they happened with just the towel on. You know,

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 1>they just know who you are. Absolutely, we're gonna have

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 1>a good group today with Star Sports Tours. We should

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 1>They won't be too combative. I believe we've we've kind

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 1>of got past the fire. Jason Garrett questions or maybe

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.839
<v Speaker 1>not maybe not that last night on The Happy Hour though, No,

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>we didn't. It's a good question. And thanks for everybody

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 1>that showed up for the Happy Hour too. Yeah. I

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 1>like that setting up by the way a lot better.

0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I like the booth because I think everybody can see

0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:00.919
<v Speaker 1>each other and talk to each other, and I like that.

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a better setting, kind of like we're

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>hanging out having a happy hour. Yeah, a lot of

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 1>good food and stuff on the table, but yeah, good conversation.

0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>If you haven't ever watched The Happy Hour, everybody kind

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.720
<v Speaker 1>of rotates and yeah, some good opinions on that show.

0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.840
<v Speaker 1>You really do. Yeah, every Tuesday night, Concrete Cowboy here

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.479
<v Speaker 1>at the Star District. Check it out, all right, Mick. Yes,

0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:22.800
<v Speaker 1>we were just talking Tyrant Smith. The injury situation. Basically,

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 1>they had their final practice the week yesterday, so the

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 1>final injury report will come out this afternoon with designations.

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 1>What do you think his status is going to be. Yeah,

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty sure it'll be questionable. Yeah, there's no sense

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:40.599
<v Speaker 1>letting the Saints know for sure what's going to happen there,

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:44.160
<v Speaker 1>although I think they can surmise if guy didn't practice

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 1>all week. But again, it's it's one of those it's

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 1>one of those nerve things where you just never know

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:53.839
<v Speaker 1>when things they're gonna change. So I would imagine what

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:57.480
<v Speaker 1>times the games start nine seven twenty I believe it is,

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 1>So give me a ninety minutes before that, and then

0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 1>we'll know. We'll find out that's that's when we'll find

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.480
<v Speaker 1>out if because I think they'll take it all the way.

0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.520
<v Speaker 1>There's no spot, there's no question. But they're not going

0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 1>to do what they did last week and and and

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.680
<v Speaker 1>they didn't do it on purpose. It just kind of happened, right,

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 1>have a forty five man roster because you found out,

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, fifteen minutes before game time that oh he

0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>can't go. Here's the issue for him. And this is

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 1>probably what happened last week too. It's like you don't

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.680
<v Speaker 1>want to have him in contact during the week to

0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 1>fliter that thing up, but you don't really know how

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.880
<v Speaker 1>it's going to respond until you play. So how do

0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:37.560
<v Speaker 1>you how do you know? I guess warm ups is

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the test. Yea, warmups is the test. And I think

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.520
<v Speaker 1>what you have to do is you take one of

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 1>those defensive linemen, you know, practice squad guy whatever. And

0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying pat him up and go do it,

0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 1>but I think you have to go push on him.

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:52.920
<v Speaker 1>I think you have to go and see how much

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 1>strength he has in that shoulder and neck area. If

0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 1>he does a pass set extends and then all of

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.520
<v Speaker 1>a sudden he's the US coming up the field and

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.320
<v Speaker 1>he extends and then all of a sudden it gets him. Yeah,

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:07.559
<v Speaker 1>it catches. Then you then you shut the workout completely down.

0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 1>He can't go. But if it's a rep, it's a rep.

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.120
<v Speaker 1>It's a rep. And you're like going, We'll wait a

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 1>minute now, Okay, he's he's he's got to be able

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 1>to prove to Britt Brown and these doctors and trainers

0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 1>other trainers that he can, in fact take a three

0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 1>hundred pound man and hold him in place right and when.

0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.280
<v Speaker 1>If he can do that, then he will play. If

0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 1>he can't prove that he can do that, then then

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.480
<v Speaker 1>you will see. Uh, like I said, um, you see

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Cam Fleming, who's practiced all week at left tackle, get

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.720
<v Speaker 1>that opportunity with likely Connor Williams being the backup if

0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 1>something were to happen to him. If you know Williams mcnor, Sorry,

0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:47.400
<v Speaker 1>he got to play in the game at left tackle.

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 1>One play. I think his swimming shoe got kicked off. Yeah,

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 1>So I was gonna say, what they'll do is you

0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 1>know how they warm up the defensive lineman and Leon

0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 1>let's out there with those big old pads on his arms. Well,

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.079
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna be hitting Tyrann Smith, Yeah, and see if

0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 1>he can stand up. He's just got to figure you know, Tyran,

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:09.040
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna try and do it right, and you know,

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 1>try to convince him. But again, yeah, you just can't

0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 1>play with a forty five man Ross. Usually. Usually it's

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.520
<v Speaker 1>the game time decision, and it's truly not a game

0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.640
<v Speaker 1>time decision. Mickey's right, this is going to be a

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 1>game time decision. Yeah, And all indications of talking to people,

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>and Mickey talks to just as many people as I do,

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 1>and they're all like, we'll see, we'll see. He's just

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:34.000
<v Speaker 1>got to prove it. Yeah. It's like and guys, you know,

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I could remember and I've told this story before, you know,

0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.600
<v Speaker 1>parcels with guys with injuries, and I can't remember who

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 1>the player was, but he hurt his ribs and he

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.319
<v Speaker 1>was insisting he can play, insisting play. And we're out

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.880
<v Speaker 1>at Valley Ranch and Bill was walking away from where

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:53.040
<v Speaker 1>the players used to eat, and the guy who was

0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 1>saying had the rib injury was like, hey, I'm good,

0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm good. Bill comes up behind, unannouncing, pokes them in

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:02.040
<v Speaker 1>the ribs. Yeah. One see, Haller reacted. The guy almost

0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 1>jumped through the ceiling, right He goes, yeah, and you're

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:09.480
<v Speaker 1>telling me your ribs are good, you know, I'm not kidding. Yeah,

0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 1>And it was like that was Bill's way of checked

0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:13.480
<v Speaker 1>it out a guy if he was telling the truth.

0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Right now, he's too because no one ever wants to

0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:18.319
<v Speaker 1>admit they're hurt, right, Nobody does go ask I mean

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.199
<v Speaker 1>go out. I mean how many times have we asked

0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Tyran right on the way back from Philadelphia, I'm good. Oh,

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm good, I'm good. And in the week, oh, i'm good.

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Last week early in the week, oh, I'm good. You know,

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.560
<v Speaker 1>And so no one ever admits the hurt. Look at

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Zack Martin. Zack Martin has been playing through a spraying

0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:38.160
<v Speaker 1>knee for how many weeks? Now, Yeah, you know he's

0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 1>not and he'll be listed as questionable and he's been

0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.520
<v Speaker 1>limited all week. But he'll be good to go. But Tyran,

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 1>you know you're gonna have to watch him even if

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.280
<v Speaker 1>he is active in this game. I remember Christmas Eve

0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.440
<v Speaker 1>last year he played. He started against Seattle and played

0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:55.200
<v Speaker 1>three plays and then he was he couldn't go. Yeah,

0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:57.880
<v Speaker 1>so cam Fleming's got to be ready throughout the game.

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.839
<v Speaker 1>One the one saving graces and maybe maybe it wasn't

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:03.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe the fact that Cam Fleming didn't have any practice

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 1>and didn't didn't know he was going to play. Now

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 1>that he kind of knows, maybe it'll be a different situation.

0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:13.559
<v Speaker 1>But he's ready. At least he's gotten the work this

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.560
<v Speaker 1>week with Suephilo in the in the in the majority

0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.719
<v Speaker 1>of the work that they've needed. And now Suephilo was

0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 1>out the first practice, but the other two practices they've

0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.720
<v Speaker 1>had since that, Sue Philo has been involved with that.

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Now the downside with you know, maybe the good thing

0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:34.400
<v Speaker 1>last week is the Redskins didn't know he wasn't gonna

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 1>play tomorrow. The Saints might have an idea. Yeah, okay,

0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>this guy, they've seen him on Flay. Yeah, and now

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.800
<v Speaker 1>I've seen what Fleming can do, and now I can

0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:49.200
<v Speaker 1>adjust my my my game plan. Both teams are gonna

0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 1>be If that's the case, it's sounding like both teams

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:55.320
<v Speaker 1>are compromised at left tackle. Yeah, yeah, that's their guys still. Yeah,

0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>there's they're having problems there too. And if I, like

0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 1>I told you when we started sing, bush Rod will

0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 1>be the weak link for the Saint. He's a good player,

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:08.079
<v Speaker 1>but he is not to the level of what Armstead

0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 1>is and he hasn't and and he's got a peck

0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.439
<v Speaker 1>and that's one of those things you can't hide. Yeah,

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.240
<v Speaker 1>you cannot hide that. That's right, that's all about punishing.

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Can't go they got they gotta start a backup. Yeah,

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Andrew's Pete, the Saints standout guard, has been limited the

0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 1>last couple of days, so and he's he's really important

0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 1>to what they do. And I just with you know,

0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:32.880
<v Speaker 1>with with Pete, Unger and Warford, that that that those

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.720
<v Speaker 1>guys they had the same philosophy as the Cowboys have

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.520
<v Speaker 1>about protecting the front of the pocket. And and but

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:41.720
<v Speaker 1>but especially with them because what we talked about with

0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.400
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback that's the same height as Mickey, that they

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:48.120
<v Speaker 1>they have to keep him. They have to keep his

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:53.360
<v Speaker 1>ability to see, you know, clear. They can't afford to

0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.280
<v Speaker 1>have things happen in front of him because if he

0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.400
<v Speaker 1>has to see a lot of things in front, then

0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.319
<v Speaker 1>his eyes come down and he can't you know, then

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 1>he gets to find the field again. Drew Brees is

0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>one of the best ever players game. He's reason why

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.560
<v Speaker 1>he's got seventy over seventy thousand yards passing in his career.

0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.840
<v Speaker 1>But there's a ways to affect him. But the Saints

0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:13.840
<v Speaker 1>maintain their way of protecting. The best way is keeping

0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 1>that front as clean as they can. So I asked

0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Jason this question. I'm going to ask you take me

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.880
<v Speaker 1>back to two thousand and one. Yeah, and what were

0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the thoughts on the six foot Drew Brees coming out

0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 1>in the draft. He had beaten Michigan and Ohio State

0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:34.600
<v Speaker 1>and had Purdue tied for first in the Big Ten

0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 1>and they got to go to the Rose Bowl. But

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.600
<v Speaker 1>everybody was worried that he was six feet tall. That's

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 1>the that's the what you look at Drew Brees. This

0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:46.719
<v Speaker 1>is what all you need to say about him. He

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:50.319
<v Speaker 1>won in high school, he won in college, he wins

0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.480
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL. That's all you need to know about

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Drew Brees. You don't need to the whole thing about

0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.480
<v Speaker 1>high you know, and we tend is scouts to get

0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 1>two wrapped up in numbers when you should just look

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 1>at the player. You know, you look at a guy

0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.760
<v Speaker 1>like Baker Mayfield. You know, I mean he's having some

0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.320
<v Speaker 1>success with the Cleveland Browns when no other quarterback really

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.160
<v Speaker 1>has had success. And I mean the success in a

0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:14.199
<v Speaker 1>way of winning football games. But great high school player

0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.360
<v Speaker 1>was a walk on bouncing me when the Heisman Trophy.

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's guys like I say, it doesn't matter

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.480
<v Speaker 1>you know how short you are or what you are

0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 1>measurables wise, There's some guys that are just really good

0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 1>football players because that's built into them. You know, they

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.800
<v Speaker 1>might not have the total measurables. And that's where scouts

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:35.080
<v Speaker 1>make the biggest mistakes is the thinking, oh, because this

0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.280
<v Speaker 1>guy is six four Jeff George and it hasn't rocket

0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.360
<v Speaker 1>armed Jeff George and gets picked like Jeff George, but

0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:45.560
<v Speaker 1>then busts because you know he does he doesn't have

0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.920
<v Speaker 1>the he doesn't have that inside of him to that

0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:52.320
<v Speaker 1>winning mentality. You know, that's where Drew brees. It just

0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 1>blows everybody away. Is that what makes quarterback probably the

0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 1>hardest position to evaluate because there are so many intangibles

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 1>that go into the position because you're basically running the

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.800
<v Speaker 1>football team. A. Yeah, you're running the football team. What

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:07.040
<v Speaker 1>makes it hard now is the systems that you play in.

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:09.400
<v Speaker 1>That makes it hard. Now, if it gets to a

0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.760
<v Speaker 1>point where all of a sudden, say a guy like

0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 1>the guy at Tech, you know, Cliff gets an opportunity

0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.120
<v Speaker 1>to coach the NFL and he brings off and we've

0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 1>seen an offense like what Peyton is doing and what

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.280
<v Speaker 1>McVeagh are doing. So now then you see, okay, now

0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 1>you could start seeing guys like Mahomes playing in systems

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.560
<v Speaker 1>and then having success in NFL because you see it

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:32.280
<v Speaker 1>now being used in the NFL. That will make your

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 1>evaluation easier because there's a time where we couldn't evaluate

0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Michael Vick. You know, we really couldn't evaluate Oh, well,

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.440
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't throw it, but cash he runs all over

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:44.160
<v Speaker 1>the place and he could do this Lamar Jackson the

0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:45.880
<v Speaker 1>same way. I heard he's getting to the start again

0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.320
<v Speaker 1>this week with the Ravens. You know, those are guys

0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:49.920
<v Speaker 1>that you kind of look at and like, Okay, he

0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 1>doesn't fit what we do, but wow, look what he

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.120
<v Speaker 1>does if you know, so morning morning Wig and them

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.440
<v Speaker 1>doing a good job of catering the offense to him

0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:01.200
<v Speaker 1>to make his life easier. And so that's why it's

0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:04.720
<v Speaker 1>a hard evaluation because you're having to project a player

0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.880
<v Speaker 1>that can as a certain skill set into something that

0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:10.840
<v Speaker 1>might not be what you're trying to do, and that

0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the biggest mistake the coaches that have

0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:16.000
<v Speaker 1>been able to adapt. I'm talking about the guy in Philadelphia.

0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:18.520
<v Speaker 1>He adapted to that quarterback to win the Super Bowl.

0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.520
<v Speaker 1>He had to. He couldn't play the way he played

0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.920
<v Speaker 1>with Carson Wentz with with that with Nick Foles and

0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:26.360
<v Speaker 1>give him credit for that, and that's one of the

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.800
<v Speaker 1>reasons why they had success. So maybe the best second

0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:34.040
<v Speaker 1>round drafted quarterback ever, I have to go back and

0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:35.960
<v Speaker 1>we'd have to look at the list. Yeah, you'd have

0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:37.720
<v Speaker 1>to look at it was the first pick in the

0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:42.200
<v Speaker 1>second round. He lasted as you take Ladanian Tom Winson

0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 1>at five or six and then take him in the

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:45.880
<v Speaker 1>top of the second round. I'd say you had a

0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.040
<v Speaker 1>pretty good day. I mean, that's can you beat that?

0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Can you? Because Drew Brees will be a first ballot

0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Famer, I'm pretty confident. Yeah, yeah, they might

0:16:56.160 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 1>waive his five years. He's incredible. He's incredible the way

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.600
<v Speaker 1>he's But you know what's funny about Drew Brees. You

0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:04.399
<v Speaker 1>look at his career and it's a little bit like

0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers right now. You know, you look at it

0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:09.600
<v Speaker 1>and one super Bowl, you know, and you look at

0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers one super Bowl? Is it his fault or

0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.639
<v Speaker 1>is it the people around him for not getting him enough? ELP.

0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I think Sean Payton finally realized, you know, we've got

0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 1>to be able to run the football a little bit here.

0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:19.760
<v Speaker 1>We gotta you know, they go out and they hit

0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 1>on Alvin Kamara, they hit on Ryan Ramchick the right tackle.

0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:26.199
<v Speaker 1>You know, they draft Pete as a big inside player.

0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:28.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, they trade for Unger, They give up They're

0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:31.760
<v Speaker 1>tight end to get Unger in return. So they got

0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:34.879
<v Speaker 1>their center. You know, they give up Jimmy Graham to

0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:39.480
<v Speaker 1>get unger, you know, so you sometimes Fate smiles and

0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:40.960
<v Speaker 1>we look at thinking about with the Dolphins, I mean

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Nick Saban, he had a choice, but because of the

0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:46.800
<v Speaker 1>shoulder injury. It's the same thing. Reminds me of Larry

0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Allen when we're in Green Bay. You know, torn rotator cuff.

0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.640
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be a problem for him. Ron Wolf. Every

0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:56.600
<v Speaker 1>time we played the Cowboys. See that there's seventy three there.

0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:58.879
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna moll us today. He's the guy. You guys

0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.159
<v Speaker 1>failed on the physical. The doctors would stand there with

0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:04.280
<v Speaker 1>their arms crossed like okay, they'd hear it every single time.

0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you get, really, you get very fortunate that a

0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 1>player might have an injury that allows you to take

0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 1>advantage of that. And think of what the Dolphins have

0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:16.879
<v Speaker 1>gone through quarterbacks, quarterback wise, and they could have coach

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.919
<v Speaker 1>wise he would that was his first stop and they decided, no,

0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:24.200
<v Speaker 1>we're not paying him. And the Saints were really smart.

0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:28.840
<v Speaker 1>They structured the contract where the first year they gave

0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:32.560
<v Speaker 1>him a one year, twelve million dollars guaranteed contract and

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:34.920
<v Speaker 1>that was it. And then the next year there was

0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.720
<v Speaker 1>an option. Yeah, they didn't have to continue it, right,

0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:40.800
<v Speaker 1>and so they they you know, they rolled the dice.

0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:44.280
<v Speaker 1>But then again, they were in a different situation from

0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:47.920
<v Speaker 1>everybody else because they're coming out of Hurricane Katrina, the

0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:53.520
<v Speaker 1>cities decimated, and they're playing and practicing in San Antonio

0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:56.040
<v Speaker 1>and it's like and they got Aaron Brooks's quarterback. Yeah,

0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.639
<v Speaker 1>it's like, okay, what do we got to lose? You know.

0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:01.679
<v Speaker 1>And it wasn't like a long term investment in him,

0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:04.280
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, okay, here's a look seed contract and

0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:07.600
<v Speaker 1>if he's good, all right. And he ended up being

0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.880
<v Speaker 1>really good and the marriage with Sean Payton has been

0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.320
<v Speaker 1>great for him too. It's funny though it's some seven

0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:17.280
<v Speaker 1>and nine's mixed in there, you know, three in a row. Yeah,

0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:19.879
<v Speaker 1>there was a lot of questions about was Drew Brees

0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:23.800
<v Speaker 1>really the right guy at that time? Was Sean Payton

0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:27.399
<v Speaker 1>the right guy? You know that the Saints. This hasn't

0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:30.240
<v Speaker 1>been one of those things like Belichick getting Tom Brady

0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:34.000
<v Speaker 1>and having success for fifteen sixteen years. This is one

0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:36.280
<v Speaker 1>of those things that Drew Brees came in. Yeah, they

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:38.240
<v Speaker 1>won a super Bowl, but after the Super Bowl, this

0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:41.960
<v Speaker 1>team went south, like three years in a row, and

0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.800
<v Speaker 1>really before they got that year. You know, the first

0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:47.040
<v Speaker 1>year was really good and then it was like a

0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:51.199
<v Speaker 1>five hundred type deal and coach Peyton wasn't there for

0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:54.159
<v Speaker 1>one year because they had the bounty. So yeah, it

0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:56.439
<v Speaker 1>was it was, you know, a lot of chaos and

0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:59.760
<v Speaker 1>controversy in that organization. Safe to say they've righted the

0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:02.360
<v Speaker 1>show up now. Uh. And like you said, Brian, they've

0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:05.240
<v Speaker 1>added a lot of pieces around Breeze. They've done a

0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:07.280
<v Speaker 1>great job doing that. They think there's a lot of

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:10.720
<v Speaker 1>teams out there saying, oh we passed on Elvin Kamara

0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:13.960
<v Speaker 1>how many times? Yeah, well this again that you look

0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:16.760
<v Speaker 1>at Alvin Kamara and you watched the Tennessee tape the

0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:18.960
<v Speaker 1>draft show. I mean I thought we felt like we

0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:22.800
<v Speaker 1>really covered Alvin Kamara and we covered the guy at

0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:25.239
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City as well. Uh it was picked in the

0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:29.359
<v Speaker 1>third round. Yeah, Kareem Hunt. I mean we really can

0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:32.160
<v Speaker 1>if I'm right about that. We were we really talked

0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:34.800
<v Speaker 1>about those two guys, and it felt like we talked

0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:38.080
<v Speaker 1>about him higher than where they were selected. You know, like, okay,

0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:40.440
<v Speaker 1>if you want to complete back this is now, I'll

0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:43.960
<v Speaker 1>tell you this with about Kamara at Tennessee, he didn't

0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:46.879
<v Speaker 1>always finish runs. He didn't finish runs like he finished

0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:49.679
<v Speaker 1>his runs here right now. You watched him play at

0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee and they hand him the ball, throw him the ball,

0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:54.360
<v Speaker 1>he blocks, you know, you see that. But he's become

0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:58.840
<v Speaker 1>an even more of a weapon with the Saints than

0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:02.320
<v Speaker 1>he was at Tennessee. But Tennessee was some bad football

0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:05.000
<v Speaker 1>going on right there, you know, And all of a sudden,

0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:08.359
<v Speaker 1>good players get on bad teams and people have these

0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:11.080
<v Speaker 1>thoughts about them, like, well, maybe they can't do this,

0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:13.760
<v Speaker 1>can't do that, you know. But yeah, sometimes you have

0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:15.359
<v Speaker 1>to get lucky with these runningicks. I'll tell you what.

0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:18.239
<v Speaker 1>It does make you think about, just real quick, you know,

0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:20.360
<v Speaker 1>to a couple of teams, the Cowboys being one of them,

0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:23.000
<v Speaker 1>the Giants being another. It makes you think about drafting

0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:25.200
<v Speaker 1>a back that high in the draft with the top

0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:28.120
<v Speaker 1>five pick, you know, it really does make you think about.

0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:31.879
<v Speaker 1>Look at James Connor with the Pittsburgh Steelers. That's another

0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:33.520
<v Speaker 1>one that all of a sudden, you're replacing a guy.

0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Now you got a back that's doing just as well.

0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Rare cases, but it makes you think about doing that.

0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:41.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure the Cowboys absolutely love having Zeke. I'm not

0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:44.359
<v Speaker 1>questioning that. I'm just saying there's people out there they

0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:47.800
<v Speaker 1>will argue, Hey, Alvin kamaras just as good as Ezekiel Elliott.

0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:49.679
<v Speaker 1>But I'll guarantee you when the Saints took them, they

0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:52.240
<v Speaker 1>thought they were drafting a toy, not in every down

0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:56.480
<v Speaker 1>running back. Yeah, well him, him and Ingram together, Yeah,

0:21:56.480 --> 0:21:58.920
<v Speaker 1>it's a great company. If you said, if you went

0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:00.800
<v Speaker 1>to the old Jimmy the Green, if you go back

0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:03.960
<v Speaker 1>to the old NFL Today broadcast, Mickey'll remember this. You

0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:06.200
<v Speaker 1>used to have the intangible board and all that stuff

0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:07.720
<v Speaker 1>with Jimmy the Greek, and he would say, give the

0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:09.840
<v Speaker 1>check mark to the running backs. Give the check you know,

0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:12.119
<v Speaker 1>I think if you looked at the running backs thing,

0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:16.879
<v Speaker 1>you would say, Kamara and Ingram and Zeke wouldn't be

0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:19.240
<v Speaker 1>a wash. I think if you look at those two

0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:22.160
<v Speaker 1>as one, you know that you would probably think it's

0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:24.800
<v Speaker 1>a wash there running the football because one could really

0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:27.480
<v Speaker 1>really catch. Both of them can really really run. Zeke

0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:29.720
<v Speaker 1>can really really run and he can catch, So that

0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:31.760
<v Speaker 1>would be kind of a wash right there. If you

0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:35.320
<v Speaker 1>want to look at that, leave it to our friend

0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Gil Brandt. He actually ranked the top ten best second

0:22:39.280 --> 0:22:42.280
<v Speaker 1>round quarterbacks since nineteen seventy. Way to go, K did

0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:44.320
<v Speaker 1>he really? Yeah, he's got an article on it like

0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:47.479
<v Speaker 1>recently it was last year. Okay, who's a guy? Um?

0:22:47.880 --> 0:22:53.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll start with number ten, Neil Lomax, Oh, Neil Lomax, Yeah,

0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:57.040
<v Speaker 1>been at Cardinals and Nick nine, Cordell Stewart, number eight,

0:22:57.119 --> 0:23:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Jake Plumber, then Ron Jaworski, oh Andy Dalton, Andy Dalton,

0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:05.520
<v Speaker 1>there you go, Cunningham, oh Randal kay U and Ov

0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Boomeriss Hiasin. That's right, Derek Carr. Derek Carr was the second,

0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:14.920
<v Speaker 1>and then the top two is Drew Brees and Brian

0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:19.640
<v Speaker 1>should know Number one? Who is number? Yeah? Ar far

0:23:19.880 --> 0:23:23.600
<v Speaker 1>second round pick traded? You know, Mickey asked that question

0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 1>and now and I sit there and hear all those names,

0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:28.520
<v Speaker 1>and I think, what an idiot I am? I should

0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:31.480
<v Speaker 1>have known. I should have known that I forgot seven. Yeah,

0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Farv was the second round pick. Matter of fact, Browning

0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Nagle was taken ahead of him, but the Packers didn't

0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:39.399
<v Speaker 1>actually draft Atlanta Falcons draft, and they traded a first

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:42.480
<v Speaker 1>round pick to get him number nineteen pick. Overall, it

0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:46.080
<v Speaker 1>ended up being a Tony Smith, who was another running back,

0:23:46.119 --> 0:23:48.600
<v Speaker 1>the Falcons took Tony Smith at that spot, and he

0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:50.879
<v Speaker 1>was a Southern miss running back, and so yeah, but

0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Browning Nagle went ahead of Brett Farve in that draft. Well,

0:23:56.040 --> 0:23:58.920
<v Speaker 1>and and but you also have to put an asterisk

0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:02.160
<v Speaker 1>there because after them, he's coming out of he's coming

0:24:02.200 --> 0:24:05.040
<v Speaker 1>out of Southern Mississippi after having a really bad car

0:24:05.080 --> 0:24:08.320
<v Speaker 1>wreck and they didn't know if he was going to play.

0:24:08.400 --> 0:24:10.879
<v Speaker 1>He lost a lot of intestine. Yeah, yeah, he was.

0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:13.439
<v Speaker 1>He was fighting for his life really. Yeah. And then

0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:18.760
<v Speaker 1>my very great Jerry Granville story when we're leaving the

0:24:18.880 --> 0:24:22.800
<v Speaker 1>hotel in Minneapolis after the Super Bowl that year, so

0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:27.280
<v Speaker 1>that we've been the ninety season, Yeah, it was the

0:24:27.359 --> 0:24:31.840
<v Speaker 1>ninety season and ninety one, Yeah, it's far and far

0:24:31.920 --> 0:24:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Bes drafted. Yeah, so ninety one. He was a rookie

0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:37.439
<v Speaker 1>that year. And we're walking out and my friend that

0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:40.119
<v Speaker 1>I was with, he worked with me and Jackson, Mississippi.

0:24:40.200 --> 0:24:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Grew up in Hattiesburg in a new the Fire family.

0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:48.640
<v Speaker 1>His dad was the Sida, so in Mississippi, and we're

0:24:48.680 --> 0:24:52.040
<v Speaker 1>walking out and it's freezing cold. We're walking back to

0:24:52.080 --> 0:24:54.200
<v Speaker 1>our hotel and all of a sudden, we're here, Hey,

0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:57.840
<v Speaker 1>where are you guys going and it's Jerry Grand Glanville

0:24:58.240 --> 0:24:59.639
<v Speaker 1>and he's going to the same He goes, oh, I

0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:01.719
<v Speaker 1>walked with you, so we made small talk. And then

0:25:01.760 --> 0:25:04.679
<v Speaker 1>my friend goes, I'm sorry, Jerry, but I can't help myself.

0:25:04.720 --> 0:25:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I just want to know if Brett five can really

0:25:07.280 --> 0:25:10.040
<v Speaker 1>be in the NFL quarterback. And he looked at us

0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:13.840
<v Speaker 1>and he goes, yeah, he goes. He goes once he

0:25:13.960 --> 0:25:16.560
<v Speaker 1>figures out by Wednesday, you got to quit all that

0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:20.960
<v Speaker 1>corn squeezing yeah, meaning drinking drinking yeah, And and he

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:22.800
<v Speaker 1>goes in. I think he can have a career, but

0:25:22.840 --> 0:25:25.880
<v Speaker 1>he's got to get that under control. I swear to God.

0:25:25.920 --> 0:25:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Two weeks later the trade came down. Yeah, it's funny

0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:31.080
<v Speaker 1>that they blame. If you talked to Ken Hirok, who

0:25:31.160 --> 0:25:33.200
<v Speaker 1>was a gym at the time in Glanville, I've talked

0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:35.920
<v Speaker 1>to him. Both they blame each other for the trade.

0:25:36.480 --> 0:25:38.200
<v Speaker 1>It's clearly I didn't want to get rid of he says,

0:25:38.200 --> 0:25:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I thought he was gonna give you a Chris Miller.

0:25:39.640 --> 0:25:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think he was gonna, you know, And so

0:25:41.080 --> 0:25:43.240
<v Speaker 1>it's funny. It's it's it's kind of up there with

0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:46.080
<v Speaker 1>the herschel Walker trade. Actually, one of the they have

0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Chris Miller then, or was it Bobby Abert Miller Miller, Yeah,

0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Baybert got there later. Yeah, the thing was real quick.

0:25:52.560 --> 0:25:54.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean it it was a trade that it changed

0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:57.720
<v Speaker 1>the history of the Green Bay Packers. That's what happened there.

0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:00.160
<v Speaker 1>That's the trade that you know. I get Mike home

0:26:00.200 --> 0:26:02.119
<v Speaker 1>Brand and Steve Mariuch all lout of credit for that trade.

0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Really because the magic Man was losing his magic then

0:26:05.400 --> 0:26:07.800

<v Speaker 1>all this hype, right, Yeah, I'm glad to see that though. Yeah,

0:29:40.920 --> 0:29:44.600
<v Speaker 1>all right. Welcome back to Talking Cowboys inside the SWBC

0:29:44.800 --> 0:29:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Mortgage studio. We are giving our final breakdowns for Cowboys

0:29:48.840 --> 0:29:53.240
<v Speaker 1>and Saints. The Showdown at and T Stadium. Saints on

0:29:53.280 --> 0:29:55.320
<v Speaker 1>a ten game win streak, Cowboys on a three game

0:29:55.360 --> 0:29:59.080
<v Speaker 1>win streak, and the biggest question is how they're gonna

0:29:59.120 --> 0:30:04.760
<v Speaker 1>stop Drew Breeze in that offense. DeMarcus Lawrence is fired

0:30:04.840 --> 0:30:08.800
<v Speaker 1>up for this game, Mick Good. I think he decided

0:30:09.320 --> 0:30:13.200
<v Speaker 1>and Dak came close the day before, but he did

0:30:13.200 --> 0:30:15.760
<v Speaker 1>it a little bit more delicately. I think they got

0:30:15.800 --> 0:30:18.360
<v Speaker 1>tired of hearing everything about the Saints and how good

0:30:18.360 --> 0:30:21.320
<v Speaker 1>the Saints are and people asking him, are you guys

0:30:21.320 --> 0:30:24.160
<v Speaker 1>in awe of the Saints and it's Drew Brees and

0:30:24.600 --> 0:30:26.760
<v Speaker 1>do you have to play a perfect game? Yeah? And

0:30:27.080 --> 0:30:29.640
<v Speaker 1>I think they find because Dak's all answers are yes

0:30:30.000 --> 0:30:33.320
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, And Dak kind of started with, you know,

0:30:33.520 --> 0:30:36.240
<v Speaker 1>we put our pants on the same way they do

0:30:36.360 --> 0:30:39.840
<v Speaker 1>and yeah. And then I think I think DeMarcus Lawrence

0:30:40.200 --> 0:30:43.080
<v Speaker 1>he's a little more perceptive, I think than everybody thinks

0:30:43.080 --> 0:30:46.120
<v Speaker 1>like he pays attention, and I think he finally decided,

0:30:46.200 --> 0:30:50.240
<v Speaker 1>you know what, look, we can play football too. Sure.

0:30:50.600 --> 0:30:53.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he he had that planned. It didn't just happen. Well.

0:30:53.720 --> 0:30:55.400
<v Speaker 1>He gave him a lot of credit too. He called

0:30:55.480 --> 0:30:57.280
<v Speaker 1>him they're a maddened team. He said, if you really

0:30:57.280 --> 0:30:59.760
<v Speaker 1>look at the numbers, they're by far the best team

0:30:59.760 --> 0:31:02.880
<v Speaker 1>in the league. Yeah, but he was very complimentary. But

0:31:02.960 --> 0:31:04.880
<v Speaker 1>you saw what he did, right he got in the

0:31:04.880 --> 0:31:08.480
<v Speaker 1>middle of Jalen Smith's interview. He jumped on the bench

0:31:08.600 --> 0:31:10.960
<v Speaker 1>right behind him, like, you know, was how to doty

0:31:11.080 --> 0:31:15.480
<v Speaker 1>or something. And finally Jayden just got you entertaining stuff.

0:31:15.560 --> 0:31:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Jen just gave up and left and then he started.

0:31:18.880 --> 0:31:20.840
<v Speaker 1>And I think what he was trying to make sure

0:31:21.080 --> 0:31:24.479
<v Speaker 1>is these young guys don't walk out there and it's like, oh,

0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:27.840
<v Speaker 1>it's Drew Brees. You know, we can't play against him.

0:31:27.880 --> 0:31:29.520
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's what he was trying to do,

0:31:29.680 --> 0:31:33.520
<v Speaker 1>is like give his his own room some confidence. And

0:31:33.680 --> 0:31:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he was bragging. I don't think he

0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:37.920
<v Speaker 1>was trying to egg on the Saints. He was just

0:31:38.000 --> 0:31:40.360
<v Speaker 1>trying to say, hey, we can play too. Yeah, and

0:31:41.280 --> 0:31:43.840
<v Speaker 1>you know we always ask about leaders. Well, I think

0:31:43.880 --> 0:31:46.520
<v Speaker 1>that's what he was trying to do in that instance.

0:31:46.920 --> 0:31:51.160
<v Speaker 1>And it was very entertaining. Always is even the parts

0:31:51.160 --> 0:31:53.680
<v Speaker 1>you couldn't quote, well, we get an idea what he

0:31:53.720 --> 0:31:56.320
<v Speaker 1>was saying. Did you bleep him out? Yeah? Dave wrote

0:31:56.320 --> 0:31:59.160
<v Speaker 1>the story and he was there were bleeps in there. Okay, good, yeah,

0:31:59.240 --> 0:32:01.680
<v Speaker 1>go check it out and cowboys dot Com and everywhere

0:32:01.680 --> 0:32:05.520
<v Speaker 1>else I've made major headlines yesterday, and he's the best

0:32:05.600 --> 0:32:07.160
<v Speaker 1>quote in the locker room, no doubt. And he's the

0:32:07.200 --> 0:32:10.360
<v Speaker 1>best playmaker on their defense too as well. And he's

0:32:10.360 --> 0:32:12.120
<v Speaker 1>got to have a big game. I think he knows it.

0:32:12.440 --> 0:32:14.680
<v Speaker 1>And you know, he was asked over and over again

0:32:14.720 --> 0:32:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Brian about their offensive line, and he gave him a

0:32:17.240 --> 0:32:19.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of credit, but he said, they also haven't seen

0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:21.800
<v Speaker 1>us yet. Yeah, and this is a defensive line that's

0:32:22.360 --> 0:32:25.360
<v Speaker 1>been very productive for for the large part of the season,

0:32:25.520 --> 0:32:27.760
<v Speaker 1>even though they've dealt with some injuries, especially the last

0:32:27.760 --> 0:32:29.760
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks. If they win this game, it's gonna

0:32:29.760 --> 0:32:32.320
<v Speaker 1>be because of their defensive line. It's you're gonna have

0:32:32.360 --> 0:32:34.640
<v Speaker 1>to They're gonna have to play really well against the run.

0:32:34.760 --> 0:32:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Because of what we talked about earlier with Ingram and Kamara.

0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:39.800
<v Speaker 1>The Saints are gonna want to try and establish that

0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:41.720
<v Speaker 1>you've got to be ready for downhill game. A lot

0:32:41.760 --> 0:32:44.840
<v Speaker 1>of toss, sweeps, ball coming right at you. Things like that.

0:32:45.200 --> 0:32:47.959
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna put extra They're gonna put an extra tackle

0:32:48.000 --> 0:32:51.520
<v Speaker 1>in the game, you know, to you know, to try

0:32:51.520 --> 0:32:54.520
<v Speaker 1>and help they're blocking at the point of attack. You know,

0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:57.680
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be a physical front and and I'm really

0:32:57.720 --> 0:33:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited that that Lawrence is a you know, trying

0:33:00.520 --> 0:33:03.000
<v Speaker 1>to rally the troops. They're gonna need to play one

0:33:03.040 --> 0:33:06.440
<v Speaker 1>of their best defensive games. It's and we laugh about

0:33:06.560 --> 0:33:08.720
<v Speaker 1>being perfect and all that, but you almost have to

0:33:08.760 --> 0:33:11.680
<v Speaker 1>be perfect because the problem is they put so much

0:33:11.720 --> 0:33:14.800
<v Speaker 1>pressure on you to cover them when it comes to

0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:17.120
<v Speaker 1>those routes. Drew Brees is one of the best in

0:33:17.160 --> 0:33:20.120
<v Speaker 1>the league when it comes to finding a mistake in

0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:22.920
<v Speaker 1>the secondary that you've made, and he will hit that

0:33:22.960 --> 0:33:26.240
<v Speaker 1>guy every single time. And so how they play up front,

0:33:26.280 --> 0:33:28.920
<v Speaker 1>how they controlled the Saints offensive line, how they get

0:33:28.920 --> 0:33:31.760
<v Speaker 1>after Brees, how they play the run. There's They're gonna

0:33:31.800 --> 0:33:34.280
<v Speaker 1>give up some plays, but they just can't give up

0:33:34.320 --> 0:33:36.480
<v Speaker 1>play after play after play. They've got to find a

0:33:36.520 --> 0:33:39.120
<v Speaker 1>way to get some stops. Keep an eye on this game.

0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:42.040
<v Speaker 1>If this turns into an Atlanta first, like the Atlanta

0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:44.720
<v Speaker 1>in the first half, the Cowboys can very well win

0:33:44.800 --> 0:33:47.080
<v Speaker 1>this game. If it if it's if it's something where

0:33:47.320 --> 0:33:50.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, we came in and I was bragging on Atlanta. Hey,

0:33:50.440 --> 0:33:53.400
<v Speaker 1>these receivers, their ability to run the football, you know,

0:33:53.600 --> 0:33:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Matt Ryan on third down, all these things high flying

0:33:57.600 --> 0:34:01.080
<v Speaker 1>offense and at home. Look what the always did defensively

0:34:01.160 --> 0:34:03.160
<v Speaker 1>to the Falcons. They kept the Falcons out of the

0:34:03.200 --> 0:34:05.600
<v Speaker 1>end zone when they had to played really great red

0:34:05.680 --> 0:34:09.160
<v Speaker 1>zone defense. You know, you're eric gonna have to have

0:34:09.320 --> 0:34:12.680
<v Speaker 1>the same type of effort and same type of game

0:34:12.840 --> 0:34:14.719
<v Speaker 1>that you did against the Falcons if you want to

0:34:14.719 --> 0:34:17.000
<v Speaker 1>win this game. Yeah, and by perfect, it depends on

0:34:17.040 --> 0:34:21.120
<v Speaker 1>the definition, right, Like Saints aren't perfect either, And when

0:34:21.120 --> 0:34:23.719
<v Speaker 1>a player gets asked that, they're gonna bristle at it

0:34:23.760 --> 0:34:26.120
<v Speaker 1>because look, they're not facing a robot on the other

0:34:26.160 --> 0:34:28.640
<v Speaker 1>side of the front either. But your definition, I understand it.

0:34:28.680 --> 0:34:31.880
<v Speaker 1>You can't play a really sloppy football game against this

0:34:31.880 --> 0:34:33.920
<v Speaker 1>team and expect to win. No, this is one of

0:34:33.960 --> 0:34:35.920
<v Speaker 1>those things where if you get them in third and

0:34:35.960 --> 0:34:38.080
<v Speaker 1>eight and all of a sudden, it's an incomplete pass

0:34:38.160 --> 0:34:40.440
<v Speaker 1>and you can't have defensive holding for a five yard

0:34:40.560 --> 0:34:43.120
<v Speaker 1>penalty in a first down. You know, if you get

0:34:43.160 --> 0:34:46.040
<v Speaker 1>off the field, you get off the field. No hands

0:34:46.080 --> 0:34:51.040
<v Speaker 1>to the face, no defensive holding, no pass interference. I mean,

0:34:51.320 --> 0:34:54.160
<v Speaker 1>just go out there and play as clean a game

0:34:54.200 --> 0:34:56.840
<v Speaker 1>as possible. That means with the turnovers, you know, you

0:34:56.840 --> 0:34:58.719
<v Speaker 1>can't turn the ball. We always talk about that. But

0:34:58.800 --> 0:35:01.160
<v Speaker 1>for the Cowboys, if you get the chance to get

0:35:01.200 --> 0:35:05.960
<v Speaker 1>them off the field. Byron Jones, Anthony Brown, Jordan Lewis,

0:35:06.400 --> 0:35:09.400
<v Speaker 1>any one of you guys don't get called for defensive holding,

0:35:09.440 --> 0:35:13.000
<v Speaker 1>pass interference, hands the face, anything that gives the Saints

0:35:13.040 --> 0:35:15.520
<v Speaker 1>a fresh set of downs. You know, if you look

0:35:15.560 --> 0:35:18.680
<v Speaker 1>at what Atlanta did, I mean they moved the ball

0:35:18.760 --> 0:35:21.239
<v Speaker 1>up and down the field on the Saints. Problem was

0:35:21.239 --> 0:35:25.160
<v Speaker 1>they turned the ball over four times, lost three fumbles. Yeah,

0:35:25.280 --> 0:35:27.759
<v Speaker 1>and Ryan got sacked six times. Yeah. I mean they

0:35:28.080 --> 0:35:31.320
<v Speaker 1>had over, you know, almost three hundred and seventy yards offense.

0:35:31.560 --> 0:35:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Most of it was passing because they couldn't run the

0:35:33.640 --> 0:35:36.319
<v Speaker 1>ball right. Well, they couldn't run it against the Cowboys either,

0:35:37.120 --> 0:35:39.080
<v Speaker 1>but it was the turnovers that did them in in

0:35:39.120 --> 0:35:42.480
<v Speaker 1>that game. Yeah, So you know you can't give them

0:35:42.560 --> 0:35:45.400
<v Speaker 1>extra possessions. Yeah, absolutely. And I don't want to go

0:35:45.440 --> 0:35:48.719
<v Speaker 1>back to where we start left off yesterday about extra possessions.

0:35:49.680 --> 0:35:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Why because I still want the ball if I would

0:35:52.280 --> 0:35:57.080
<v Speaker 1>the coin toss. Yeah, we covered that part. Yeah, but

0:35:57.239 --> 0:35:59.640
<v Speaker 1>that's I mean, they moved the ball on them. Yeah.

0:35:59.680 --> 0:36:01.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, now, can you can you hold them to

0:36:02.120 --> 0:36:05.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight thirty points. You hold you make this, you

0:36:05.080 --> 0:36:07.600
<v Speaker 1>hold them under thirty, which the Cowboys I think have

0:36:07.640 --> 0:36:09.719
<v Speaker 1>a streak now of twelve straight games, so they've hold

0:36:09.840 --> 0:36:12.080
<v Speaker 1>held an opponent under thirty points. I think I'm right

0:36:12.120 --> 0:36:16.200
<v Speaker 1>about that. Well every game this year. Tennessee was the

0:36:16.320 --> 0:36:18.920
<v Speaker 1>high at twenty eight. Yeah, they hold them under thirty,

0:36:18.960 --> 0:36:20.960
<v Speaker 1>they've got a shot to win this football game. They

0:36:21.000 --> 0:36:24.080
<v Speaker 1>were literally more than that, Brian, because it's eleven games

0:36:24.120 --> 0:36:27.880
<v Speaker 1>this year. They they held them shut out the Eagles

0:36:27.880 --> 0:36:30.080
<v Speaker 1>in the last game, right, it was six to nothing, right,

0:36:30.360 --> 0:36:32.400
<v Speaker 1>and the game before and they got beat by Seattle.

0:36:32.400 --> 0:36:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't it like twenty four thirteen something? I thought it

0:36:36.520 --> 0:36:39.799
<v Speaker 1>was twelve something games myself, But it's it's a it's

0:36:39.840 --> 0:36:42.720
<v Speaker 1>a pretty nice streak to have if you're holding people,

0:36:43.120 --> 0:36:44.840
<v Speaker 1>especially in this day and age with the way the

0:36:44.880 --> 0:36:47.879
<v Speaker 1>offenses have just you know, the light you up if

0:36:47.880 --> 0:36:49.919
<v Speaker 1>you if you allow them to do that. Cowboys given

0:36:50.000 --> 0:36:53.600
<v Speaker 1>up nineteen point three points per game this season. Yeah,

0:36:53.680 --> 0:36:56.760
<v Speaker 1>and you know the run defense, it starts there, I think,

0:36:56.880 --> 0:37:00.720
<v Speaker 1>because the Saints do want to get those two acts involved.

0:37:01.760 --> 0:37:04.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, they're Cowboys holding teams under one hundred yards

0:37:04.760 --> 0:37:07.239
<v Speaker 1>per game, They're gonna have to do that. They're gonna

0:37:07.239 --> 0:37:09.480
<v Speaker 1>we've talked about down in distance with this offense here,

0:37:10.000 --> 0:37:11.960
<v Speaker 1>they've got to put breeze in some of those long

0:37:12.040 --> 0:37:15.240
<v Speaker 1>down and distance situations and not where he's just comfortable

0:37:15.280 --> 0:37:17.400
<v Speaker 1>all the time in second and six and third and

0:37:17.440 --> 0:37:19.120
<v Speaker 1>two and all that kind of stuff. Can I ask

0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:21.040
<v Speaker 1>you guys a question, and hopefully you'll get a good

0:37:21.040 --> 0:37:24.439
<v Speaker 1>answer here, Give me a player and I'm not talking

0:37:24.480 --> 0:37:26.480
<v Speaker 1>to pick the click kind of guy, or you know,

0:37:27.080 --> 0:37:29.440
<v Speaker 1>give me a guy that we're not talking about that

0:37:29.520 --> 0:37:31.920
<v Speaker 1>could be a difference maker in this game. You know,

0:37:31.960 --> 0:37:36.080
<v Speaker 1>we've talked a bunch about the receivers and the defensive line,

0:37:36.239 --> 0:37:40.080
<v Speaker 1>the quarterbacks. Is there a player that we're not talking about?

0:37:40.160 --> 0:37:42.960
<v Speaker 1>You're thinking, okay, when all these things are evenly matched,

0:37:43.200 --> 0:37:45.560
<v Speaker 1>this guy will make a play. This guy will make

0:37:45.560 --> 0:37:47.200
<v Speaker 1>a stop, This guy will make a catch. Is there

0:37:47.239 --> 0:37:49.360
<v Speaker 1>somebody you got in your mind? Hold that thought? Okay,

<v Speaker 1>You code Cowboys, WHOA Bryan got us out of the

0:40:51.800 --> 0:40:55.640
<v Speaker 1>harbor while you're reading. By the way, the Cowboys have

0:40:55.640 --> 0:40:59.000
<v Speaker 1>a streak of seventeen consecutive seven teams giving up less

0:40:59.000 --> 0:41:03.600
<v Speaker 1>than thirties. Time they did it was Philadelphia is spanking

0:41:03.640 --> 0:41:06.680
<v Speaker 1>them thirty seven to nine during that three game, losing

0:41:06.680 --> 0:41:10.120
<v Speaker 1>seventeen games of not giving up thirty points that's pretty impressive.

0:41:10.160 --> 0:41:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was like, hey, maybe, but maybe this

0:41:13.960 --> 0:41:16.480
<v Speaker 1>year maybe I just trust who ever did that, you know,

0:41:17.080 --> 0:41:20.879
<v Speaker 1>like Parcel said one wrong, all wrongs, right, Yeah, being

0:41:20.960 --> 0:41:23.280
<v Speaker 1>the score in that Seattle game was twenty one twelve

0:41:23.360 --> 0:41:25.360
<v Speaker 1>last year. Yeah, that was the one that kind of

0:41:25.360 --> 0:41:28.600
<v Speaker 1>eliminated them from a chance of getting into the playoffs.

0:41:28.840 --> 0:41:32.440
<v Speaker 1>That's right, well, and then they won three in a

0:41:32.520 --> 0:41:35.480
<v Speaker 1>row before that, they did, they lost three in a row,

0:41:35.600 --> 0:41:38.799
<v Speaker 1>they did, and Tyrn Smith only played yeah, like a

0:41:38.880 --> 0:41:40.920
<v Speaker 1>series in that game. We'll see if he can go

0:41:41.040 --> 0:41:44.040
<v Speaker 1>this week. So they're already ahead of the curve because

0:41:44.120 --> 0:41:47.359
<v Speaker 1>last year without him, they were oh and three, and

0:41:47.440 --> 0:41:49.800
<v Speaker 1>now they're one and oh and without you know, Sean

0:41:49.880 --> 0:41:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Lee miss some time in there two last year and

0:41:51.800 --> 0:41:55.319
<v Speaker 1>five and now they're four and one, five and one.

0:41:55.480 --> 0:41:58.200
<v Speaker 1>We talked a little on The Happy Hour Show last night,

0:41:58.320 --> 0:42:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Mick about you know, they're they've withstood injuries better this year,

0:42:03.520 --> 0:42:06.319
<v Speaker 1>and I think it. You know, we talked about Vanderesh

0:42:06.360 --> 0:42:09.960
<v Speaker 1>and Jalen Smith and the job chrish Shard has done

0:42:09.960 --> 0:42:13.160
<v Speaker 1>on defense. I mean, they've they've dealt with adversity better

0:42:13.160 --> 0:42:15.360
<v Speaker 1>than they did down the stretch last year to this point,

0:42:15.680 --> 0:42:19.080
<v Speaker 1>they had a better player to step bid. Right. Well,

0:42:19.120 --> 0:42:21.759
<v Speaker 1>that's part of dealing with adversity, right, Yeah, you know

0:42:22.320 --> 0:42:26.640
<v Speaker 1>learning curve. Yeah, Smith is still here. He was there

0:42:26.719 --> 0:42:28.759
<v Speaker 1>last year. He's taken a step forward. He's keep an

0:42:28.760 --> 0:42:31.840
<v Speaker 1>eye on Cam Fleming in this game. Yeah, and you

0:42:31.880 --> 0:42:33.759
<v Speaker 1>know he's a guy that has started a Super Bowl.

0:42:33.800 --> 0:42:36.719
<v Speaker 1>My neck just stood up. Yeah. Well, and like you

0:42:36.719 --> 0:42:38.960
<v Speaker 1>guys said, they gave him some help last last week

0:42:38.960 --> 0:42:41.839
<v Speaker 1>as well. They need to continue that, whatever plan that is,

0:42:41.920 --> 0:42:44.120
<v Speaker 1>continue on. But the Cats out of the bag. Now

0:42:44.160 --> 0:42:46.719
<v Speaker 1>for the Saints, they've they've seen him once. That's his hope.

0:42:46.760 --> 0:42:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Seventy seven can hold a three hundred pound man in place. Yeah,

0:42:50.400 --> 0:42:52.879
<v Speaker 1>that's your biggest hope. We'll keep an eye on him

0:42:52.880 --> 0:42:55.040
<v Speaker 1>at the AT and T Stadium pregame see what was

0:42:55.080 --> 0:42:57.360

<v Speaker 1>tweeted out, Man, I don't even get analysis on the

0:43:34.600 --> 0:43:37.920
<v Speaker 1>cheerleader's warm up. Don't need that, Nicky, need the analysis

0:43:37.920 --> 0:43:40.799
<v Speaker 1>of whether seventy sevens playing or not. It's just you know,

0:43:41.040 --> 0:43:47.239
<v Speaker 1>just stop, just you're you're you're doing good right injuries cheerleaders? Okay, no, no,

0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:50.120
<v Speaker 1>absolutely not all right? How about this? How about answer

0:43:50.160 --> 0:43:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Bryan's question from what you got a guy? You got

0:43:52.560 --> 0:43:55.440
<v Speaker 1>a guy that that we're not talking about that you

0:43:55.440 --> 0:43:57.520
<v Speaker 1>know in this game, when you have so many players

0:43:57.560 --> 0:44:01.600
<v Speaker 1>on both sides that are key components, is there somebody

0:44:01.600 --> 0:44:03.680
<v Speaker 1>on that forty six that's gonna show up in this

0:44:03.760 --> 0:44:05.680
<v Speaker 1>game that at the end of the day, we're gonna go,

0:44:05.680 --> 0:44:08.360
<v Speaker 1>wow that that guy right there made a little bit

0:44:08.360 --> 0:44:12.120
<v Speaker 1>of a difference. And it doesn't have to be like ten, twelve,

0:44:12.280 --> 0:44:15.440
<v Speaker 1>fifteen plays. Maybe he makes a tackle on a kickoff

0:44:15.480 --> 0:44:17.799
<v Speaker 1>return or or a kickoffer tun but a you know

0:44:17.880 --> 0:44:20.760
<v Speaker 1>tackle or on a special teams or makes a field

0:44:20.760 --> 0:44:23.600
<v Speaker 1>goal or you know punt s well whatever that give

0:44:23.640 --> 0:44:26.880
<v Speaker 1>me that guy. I'll give you a guy. Go ahead.

0:44:27.600 --> 0:44:29.680
<v Speaker 1>And he's he's been a part of a big part

0:44:29.719 --> 0:44:34.759
<v Speaker 1>of this thing. But last week one catch Cole Beasley. Ah,

0:44:34.760 --> 0:44:37.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean we haven't. I don't think we've talked enough

0:44:37.560 --> 0:44:39.640
<v Speaker 1>about other receiver. I mean we talked so much since

0:44:39.680 --> 0:44:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Michael Gallup has been here as Cole Beasley has been

0:44:41.440 --> 0:44:45.839
<v Speaker 1>put on the back back burner since since Cooper got here. Yeah,

0:44:45.480 --> 0:44:48.040
<v Speaker 1>I say, yeah, I said Gallup, I meant Cooper. I

0:44:48.080 --> 0:44:50.359
<v Speaker 1>meant Cooper. I'm sorry, Yeah, I mean, And we've talked

0:44:50.400 --> 0:44:52.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot about Cooper for good reason. But he also

0:44:52.960 --> 0:44:54.759
<v Speaker 1>and you've talked about this during the week, Brian, how

0:44:54.760 --> 0:44:56.880
<v Speaker 1>are they going to play him? Could that open up

0:44:56.920 --> 0:44:59.200
<v Speaker 1>some opportunities for other guys if they try to double

0:44:59.280 --> 0:45:02.960
<v Speaker 1>him a little bit? See what the Saints do. Beasley

0:45:03.040 --> 0:45:05.520
<v Speaker 1>is such a safety blanket for Dak. I think in

0:45:05.560 --> 0:45:07.759
<v Speaker 1>this game, you've got to get your offense cranked up

0:45:07.760 --> 0:45:09.680
<v Speaker 1>and you're probably gonna have to spread it around and

0:45:09.840 --> 0:45:12.839
<v Speaker 1>and find production from other sources. And I think he's

0:45:12.880 --> 0:45:16.160
<v Speaker 1>a guy that uh Dak trusts and and I just

0:45:16.239 --> 0:45:18.880
<v Speaker 1>expect more from than one catch for five yards. I

0:45:19.120 --> 0:45:21.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know what you saw on tape, you personally that

0:45:21.600 --> 0:45:24.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe in the Washington game, maybe they took him away. Yeah,

0:45:24.880 --> 0:45:28.279
<v Speaker 1>but he's a guy that certainly can step up. Is

0:45:28.280 --> 0:45:31.600
<v Speaker 1>that all he had one catch one, two targets win

0:45:31.719 --> 0:45:35.240
<v Speaker 1>catch one and he had five or fifty one against Atlanta.

0:45:35.280 --> 0:45:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's been productive in a maybe a little

0:45:37.480 --> 0:45:40.400
<v Speaker 1>bit more reduced role with Cooper here, but get you know,

0:45:40.440 --> 0:45:42.440
<v Speaker 1>get him going a little bit, find ways to get

0:45:42.520 --> 0:45:46.520
<v Speaker 1>him going. That was my pick. Got another one, Beasley,

0:45:47.360 --> 0:45:49.239
<v Speaker 1>Let Brian go in. I'll think of another way. Game.

0:45:49.480 --> 0:45:52.040
<v Speaker 1>This is gonna sound really, really strange, And I want

0:45:52.040 --> 0:45:55.240
<v Speaker 1>to love on what the potential is with Jordan Lewis,

0:45:55.400 --> 0:45:57.960
<v Speaker 1>with all their receivers and backs, with Kamara and stuff.

0:45:58.000 --> 0:46:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I want to love on Jordan Lewis. I'm throwing at you.

0:46:00.760 --> 0:46:02.560
<v Speaker 1>That's gonna you're gonna I'm gonna get a wow. I'm

0:46:02.560 --> 0:46:05.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna get a Nate Newton wow from everybody here. Rico

0:46:05.960 --> 0:46:10.520
<v Speaker 1>gathers yes, yes, this is the type of game where

0:46:11.120 --> 0:46:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Rico Gathers has been used as a blocker, blocker, blocker.

0:46:16.040 --> 0:46:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Do you find a way to get him involved some way,

0:46:19.120 --> 0:46:21.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, whether it's a red zone opportunity, is it

0:46:21.840 --> 0:46:25.200
<v Speaker 1>a third down opportunity? Is this a time where we

0:46:25.239 --> 0:46:27.560
<v Speaker 1>see them throw the football? And I know I'm asking

0:46:27.600 --> 0:46:31.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot here because all Rico's really done is he's

0:46:31.040 --> 0:46:33.720
<v Speaker 1>been blocking. He's been trying to learn the offense and block,

0:46:33.840 --> 0:46:36.759
<v Speaker 1>and but is this a time where you know, these

0:46:36.800 --> 0:46:38.880
<v Speaker 1>tight ends we haven't really you know with it. The

0:46:38.920 --> 0:46:42.080
<v Speaker 1>whole thing was Jeff Swain is we've said, Okay, who's

0:46:42.120 --> 0:46:44.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna step up, who's gonna play? You know, you think

0:46:44.120 --> 0:46:47.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe Jarwin, maybe Schultz, But this might be one of

0:46:47.000 --> 0:46:50.040
<v Speaker 1>those games or something good happens with Rico Gathers and

0:46:50.040 --> 0:46:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and he makes one or two plays where you go, wow,

0:46:53.120 --> 0:46:55.000
<v Speaker 1>that was a difference. That was a key catch there,

0:46:55.040 --> 0:46:57.640
<v Speaker 1>That was a key moment in this game. That would

0:46:57.640 --> 0:46:59.480
<v Speaker 1>be my guy that kind of keep an eye on,

0:46:59.520 --> 0:47:02.320
<v Speaker 1>because I think they're setting him up for something. You know,

0:47:02.360 --> 0:47:05.239
<v Speaker 1>I think they're setting him up to do something in

0:47:05.280 --> 0:47:07.399
<v Speaker 1>this game because all he does is block. But let's

0:47:07.400 --> 0:47:10.000
<v Speaker 1>see if he can make a play reception wise in

0:47:10.040 --> 0:47:13.880
<v Speaker 1>this football game. So I got one, all right, do

0:47:13.920 --> 0:47:19.480
<v Speaker 1>it like you know, family feud. Ye give me Xavier Woods,

0:47:20.120 --> 0:47:23.799
<v Speaker 1>Xavier Woods, all right, because the Cowboys are gonna get

0:47:23.880 --> 0:47:28.320
<v Speaker 1>pressure on Drew Brees and I think and I think

0:47:28.360 --> 0:47:31.319
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna be stubborn. He's still gonna want to throw

0:47:31.360 --> 0:47:34.240
<v Speaker 1>some up down the field. Okay, And if Xavier Woods

0:47:34.320 --> 0:47:37.520
<v Speaker 1>is in single high coverage, he's gonna pick one off.

0:47:38.080 --> 0:47:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Get that body in front, just time, right, get the

0:47:41.960 --> 0:47:46.040
<v Speaker 1>body in front, you know, watch out. Yeah, Okay, anybody

0:47:46.080 --> 0:47:49.200
<v Speaker 1>liking maybe maybe a bounce back or a better game

0:47:49.239 --> 0:47:53.080
<v Speaker 1>from a Woozier or am I am I? Or is

0:47:53.120 --> 0:47:56.160
<v Speaker 1>a Woozier right now? Just kind of a Woozier. I

0:47:56.200 --> 0:47:59.280
<v Speaker 1>don't think that would surprise me. I mean, he created

0:47:59.320 --> 0:48:03.279
<v Speaker 1>the one interest right right, and he should have had another. Yeah,

0:48:03.280 --> 0:48:05.760
<v Speaker 1>it was a good tip ball. Nice job of vander

0:48:05.840 --> 0:48:08.959
<v Speaker 1>esh beginning between McCoy and a Woozier on that play

0:48:09.040 --> 0:48:11.440
<v Speaker 1>that to try and give him a chance. Yeah, but

0:48:11.560 --> 0:48:13.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm kind of you know, the boy. They need

0:48:14.080 --> 0:48:16.239
<v Speaker 1>him him, They just need him to play a little

0:48:16.280 --> 0:48:19.319
<v Speaker 1>more aggressive. And I think Jason Carrett mentioned it a

0:48:19.360 --> 0:48:22.920
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks ago that he needs to be more aggressive,

0:48:23.040 --> 0:48:25.640
<v Speaker 1>and I think the last couple of games he has been.

0:48:26.040 --> 0:48:29.279
<v Speaker 1>You see him playing man at uptight close run with

0:48:29.320 --> 0:48:31.759
<v Speaker 1>the guy. I think he needs to continue to do

0:48:31.800 --> 0:48:34.600
<v Speaker 1>that because I bet they got Michael Thomas on that

0:48:34.640 --> 0:48:37.439
<v Speaker 1>side of the There's no question. Yeah, there's assignment. There's

0:48:37.480 --> 0:48:39.600
<v Speaker 1>no question. He's been in position this season to make

0:48:39.680 --> 0:48:42.839
<v Speaker 1>plays on the ball. Yeah, and hasn't quite finished. We've

0:48:42.880 --> 0:48:46.720
<v Speaker 1>seen him finish better, finish Yeah. So because his coverage

0:48:46.760 --> 0:48:49.520
<v Speaker 1>has been good largely throughout the season. Um, I'll give

0:48:49.560 --> 0:48:53.399
<v Speaker 1>you one more. Okay, give me, let me hit the bells.

0:48:53.480 --> 0:48:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Ding ding ding ding ding. Taco Charlton. If indeed he's active,

0:48:57.960 --> 0:49:00.359
<v Speaker 1>he practiced this week, I think you're good to week.

0:49:00.400 --> 0:49:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I think you're good. I mean he's uh. Like we

0:49:03.480 --> 0:49:06.200
<v Speaker 1>talked about the left tackle situation right for the Saints.

0:49:06.239 --> 0:49:09.200
<v Speaker 1>We'll see what happens with him. Randy Gregory, those guys. Yeah, Gregory,

0:49:09.360 --> 0:49:11.719
<v Speaker 1>you have a run, get some production on the other side, right,

0:49:11.760 --> 0:49:14.360
<v Speaker 1>and then you get Crawford going inside, you get d

0:49:14.560 --> 0:49:16.799
<v Speaker 1>Law on the other side. It's gonna take a full

0:49:16.840 --> 0:49:18.840
<v Speaker 1>effort from the D line. I wonder if they trust

0:49:18.960 --> 0:49:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Taco to start and then they can move Crawford inside.

0:49:23.840 --> 0:49:27.279
<v Speaker 1>I think that to me, I would go with the

0:49:27.400 --> 0:49:31.000
<v Speaker 1>human log and and Collins as my starters and keep

0:49:31.080 --> 0:49:33.279
<v Speaker 1>Crawfordford on the out because I need to play some

0:49:33.440 --> 0:49:36.680
<v Speaker 1>run dee. Yeah if it turns yeah, if it turns

0:49:36.760 --> 0:49:40.320
<v Speaker 1>into I think you need because if you forgot about Collins,

0:49:40.440 --> 0:49:42.960
<v Speaker 1>that's right. Yeah, I think it like I say, you

0:49:43.080 --> 0:49:45.360
<v Speaker 1>put as many big guys inside as you can, and

0:49:45.400 --> 0:49:47.080
<v Speaker 1>then you put as many guys on the edge that

0:49:47.160 --> 0:49:49.600
<v Speaker 1>can tackle you. Like the human law gunt you. I

0:49:49.640 --> 0:49:52.160
<v Speaker 1>always giggle at it because I imagine somebody who's never

0:49:52.280 --> 0:49:55.040
<v Speaker 1>listened to our show and doesn't know much about the Cowboys.

0:49:55.160 --> 0:49:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Nate Newton came up with the human law. The human

0:49:57.640 --> 0:50:01.640
<v Speaker 1>log is yeah, yeah, Antoine Woods, Yeah, Antoine Woods call him.

0:50:01.640 --> 0:50:03.680
<v Speaker 1>And they're gonna need to play the run early in

0:50:03.760 --> 0:50:05.640
<v Speaker 1>this game. I think they're gonna need to be firm

0:50:05.680 --> 0:50:08.400
<v Speaker 1>at the edges and firm in the middle. And and

0:50:08.800 --> 0:50:12.960
<v Speaker 1>but if it means moving, you know, taking Woods out

0:50:13.360 --> 0:50:16.239
<v Speaker 1>to rush the passer and the nickel by all means

0:50:16.360 --> 0:50:19.879
<v Speaker 1>do so. So I think that you know, we'll see

0:50:19.920 --> 0:50:22.439
<v Speaker 1>this rotation at least with at least with Taco back.

0:50:22.520 --> 0:50:24.520
<v Speaker 1>He gives you another body to rotate in there. It's

0:50:24.560 --> 0:50:26.480
<v Speaker 1>a shame that you don't have David Irving in there

0:50:26.520 --> 0:50:29.560
<v Speaker 1>to make things happen. But that's that, you know, we've

0:50:29.600 --> 0:50:32.000
<v Speaker 1>talked about that. That's a that's something, is what it is.

0:50:32.480 --> 0:50:34.360
<v Speaker 1>So they got to play with what you got and

0:50:34.560 --> 0:50:38.360
<v Speaker 1>what you got. It's not bad. David Irving will continue

0:50:38.440 --> 0:50:41.880
<v Speaker 1>to be the cherry on top of the Sunday. You

0:50:41.920 --> 0:50:44.680
<v Speaker 1>can eat the Sunday without the cherry, right, can't count

0:50:44.760 --> 0:50:47.160
<v Speaker 1>on it. Yeah, And if somebody puts the Sunday in

0:50:47.200 --> 0:50:48.640
<v Speaker 1>front of you without a cherry, you're okay with that,

0:50:49.040 --> 0:50:50.759
<v Speaker 1>cam hole. I'm eating it. Yeah, I'm still That's the

0:50:51.040 --> 0:50:52.839
<v Speaker 1>ice cream and the whip cream and I'm still now.

0:50:52.840 --> 0:50:55.920
<v Speaker 1>And that's kind of what's about my My outlook has

0:50:55.960 --> 0:50:58.040
<v Speaker 1>been since the beginning of the season when he had

0:50:58.080 --> 0:51:01.080
<v Speaker 1>the service four game suspension. Yeah, anything you get on

0:51:01.480 --> 0:51:04.680
<v Speaker 1>him is cherry on the top, count on it, gravy

0:51:04.719 --> 0:51:07.759
<v Speaker 1>on the biscuits. There you go. Which game was it?

0:51:07.960 --> 0:51:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Was it Jacksonville where they had Irving and Gregory on

0:51:11.200 --> 0:51:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the field together. Yeah, and it was I think Jerry

0:51:13.640 --> 0:51:15.839
<v Speaker 1>said this is something I've dreamed about for years. I mean,

0:51:15.920 --> 0:51:20.520
<v Speaker 1>it's it's the potential is amazing, you know, but it's

0:51:20.560 --> 0:51:22.560
<v Speaker 1>not a lot more issues there than we'll even know.

0:51:23.120 --> 0:51:26.200
<v Speaker 1>That's the issue. Yeah, all right, Uh, we got a

0:51:26.280 --> 0:51:28.480
<v Speaker 1>few minutes left in the show. Let's just go ahead

0:51:28.480 --> 0:51:32.120
<v Speaker 1>because the break is following us immediately after this show. Immediately. Yes,

0:51:32.280 --> 0:51:34.960
<v Speaker 1>we got short, short shifts today. We're in hockey mode. Yeah,

0:51:35.000 --> 0:51:39.120
<v Speaker 1>we're all bunching those lines to get a Saturday Yeah exactly. Yeah,

0:51:39.719 --> 0:51:42.880
<v Speaker 1>So we don't usually do a show on Saturday. Welcome

0:51:42.880 --> 0:51:45.400
<v Speaker 1>to Welcome to the big Time. We're doing one. We

0:51:45.520 --> 0:51:49.239
<v Speaker 1>normally do one on Sunday. That's true. Well, we're gonna

0:51:49.280 --> 0:51:52.040
<v Speaker 1>do one on Friday. Okay, I think, well we check

0:51:52.120 --> 0:51:54.880
<v Speaker 1>back for that. Probably need to all right, Uh, we

0:51:55.000 --> 0:51:58.080
<v Speaker 1>need to get picks in and picks to click as well.

0:51:58.560 --> 0:52:00.839
<v Speaker 1>I'll start with Bryan. Since you're making that face, you're

0:52:00.880 --> 0:52:02.680
<v Speaker 1>making that Mickey face. Go ahead, Brian. You know what

0:52:02.960 --> 0:52:06.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm riding a little bit of a winning streak

0:52:06.120 --> 0:52:09.520
<v Speaker 1>of one game. I had a three game skid there,

0:52:09.560 --> 0:52:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I had a five game in a row, start seven

0:52:12.000 --> 0:52:15.080
<v Speaker 1>and four right now, and I you know what this

0:52:15.320 --> 0:52:18.839
<v Speaker 1>team has baffled me all year. When I don't think

0:52:18.840 --> 0:52:21.200
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna play well, they play well when they when

0:52:21.200 --> 0:52:23.080
<v Speaker 1>they play well, I don't think you know, you get

0:52:23.120 --> 0:52:24.520
<v Speaker 1>the idea, you get the picture. I don't want to

0:52:24.560 --> 0:52:27.399
<v Speaker 1>confuse you out there, George Bush, but I mean, I'm

0:52:27.520 --> 0:52:30.719
<v Speaker 1>trying to to tell you this. I think this team

0:52:30.800 --> 0:52:33.520
<v Speaker 1>wins this game this week. I do. I think that

0:52:34.040 --> 0:52:37.640
<v Speaker 1>the Saints are coming in. Yes, all the offense they're

0:52:37.719 --> 0:52:39.600
<v Speaker 1>d I don't think their defense gets to their enough credit.

0:52:40.040 --> 0:52:42.440
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think the Cowboys defense gets nearly enough

0:52:42.480 --> 0:52:44.560
<v Speaker 1>credit for where they for where they're going, and I

0:52:44.640 --> 0:52:46.800
<v Speaker 1>think they're I think this is a big time measuring

0:52:46.880 --> 0:52:49.480
<v Speaker 1>stick game for them. I think they do carry this thing.

0:52:49.560 --> 0:52:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Under thirty points. They carried under thirty points. Dallas can

0:52:52.040 --> 0:52:55.359
<v Speaker 1>move the ball offensively, finish some drives, though it's gonna

0:52:55.440 --> 0:52:58.800
<v Speaker 1>come down to having to finish some drives. H And

0:52:58.960 --> 0:53:01.759
<v Speaker 1>if that's the case, then the Cowboys will find a

0:53:01.840 --> 0:53:04.080
<v Speaker 1>way to win this football game. They're the ones that

0:53:04.120 --> 0:53:06.520
<v Speaker 1>are going to score thirty. The Saints are gonna score

0:53:06.560 --> 0:53:10.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight. Dallas thirty Saints twenty eight. This one kicks

0:53:10.719 --> 0:53:13.360
<v Speaker 1>them in the right direction for the remainder of the

0:53:13.440 --> 0:53:16.000
<v Speaker 1>season to go try and win this division. And I

0:53:16.080 --> 0:53:18.359
<v Speaker 1>think it's a it's a one of those measuring stick games.

0:53:19.239 --> 0:53:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I think they get it done. Picks the click, pick,

0:53:22.640 --> 0:53:27.320
<v Speaker 1>the click, I'm gonna go with. I'm gonna need this

0:53:27.480 --> 0:53:31.319
<v Speaker 1>is where I'm anything. I'm gonna need. H I don't

0:53:31.400 --> 0:53:33.239
<v Speaker 1>have that in mind yet my pick, no, no, no, no,

0:53:33.520 --> 0:53:35.319
<v Speaker 1>but I need I need something. I need to think

0:53:35.360 --> 0:53:37.800
<v Speaker 1>of something because you got me with Taco there in

0:53:37.920 --> 0:53:40.200
<v Speaker 1>what he need because I think that rotation. I think

0:53:40.280 --> 0:53:43.200
<v Speaker 1>anybody my picks to click, Okay, picks to click are

0:53:43.560 --> 0:53:46.520
<v Speaker 1>anybody that's rushing against bush Rod on that side, whether

0:53:46.520 --> 0:53:51.000
<v Speaker 1>it's Randy Gregory, whether it's Crawford, whether it's Taco. Somebody

0:53:51.120 --> 0:53:53.560
<v Speaker 1>on that right side needs to help me a little bit.

0:53:53.719 --> 0:53:55.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna try and get some push in the middle

0:53:55.280 --> 0:53:57.560
<v Speaker 1>of effect breeze. I need to close in the backside.

0:53:57.640 --> 0:54:00.279
<v Speaker 1>Anybody that's going up against bush Rod, I need you

0:54:00.320 --> 0:54:02.759
<v Speaker 1>to click. In this football game, don't be surprised if

0:54:02.960 --> 0:54:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Lawrence moves over. I'm on a two game winning streak,

0:54:09.080 --> 0:54:12.319
<v Speaker 1>not three. I guess I was not believing that they

0:54:12.360 --> 0:54:15.040
<v Speaker 1>can go on the road. You were first road guy

0:54:15.480 --> 0:54:20.640
<v Speaker 1>against Philadelphia. They showed me. Um, look, the Saints have

0:54:20.719 --> 0:54:24.000
<v Speaker 1>one ten in a row. It's probably time they lose one. WHOA,

0:54:25.200 --> 0:54:28.719
<v Speaker 1>So I got the Cowboys thirty one thirty wow, and

0:54:28.920 --> 0:54:33.160
<v Speaker 1>my pick to click will continue to be Ezekiel Elliott.

0:54:34.960 --> 0:54:39.200
<v Speaker 1>They haven't faced a running back like him since the Rams. Yeah,

0:54:39.920 --> 0:54:43.120
<v Speaker 1>that's a very good scored. What forty some What was

0:54:43.160 --> 0:54:45.800
<v Speaker 1>the score of that game? It was a high score.

0:54:45.800 --> 0:54:50.399
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't enough. Uh it was forty five thirty five.

0:54:51.239 --> 0:54:56.359
<v Speaker 1>So um, I'll that's that's where I'm going. Okay, all right,

0:54:56.480 --> 0:55:00.320
<v Speaker 1>here comes the thundercloud from rob U. I'm on a

0:55:00.360 --> 0:55:02.920
<v Speaker 1>three game win streak. I believe picked the Cowboys. I

0:55:02.960 --> 0:55:05.880
<v Speaker 1>picked the Cowboys the last several weeks actually, and I

0:55:06.040 --> 0:55:08.280
<v Speaker 1>was cut with Mickey covering the game in two thousand

0:55:08.280 --> 0:55:09.960
<v Speaker 1>and nine when they went to New Orleans with I

0:55:10.040 --> 0:55:12.000
<v Speaker 1>think LP was the only guy left, the only guy

0:55:12.120 --> 0:55:17.080
<v Speaker 1>left over from that team beat New Orleans. Similar situation, undefeated,

0:55:17.360 --> 0:55:19.759
<v Speaker 1>averaging thirty five thirty six points a game, and they

0:55:20.000 --> 0:55:22.400
<v Speaker 1>cut the point total in half. I wouldn't be surprised,

0:55:22.520 --> 0:55:25.480
<v Speaker 1>like you said, Brian, if this defense steps up and

0:55:25.600 --> 0:55:30.040
<v Speaker 1>plays terrific um the Saints just have something going right

0:55:30.120 --> 0:55:33.239
<v Speaker 1>now and you're not wrong. You're not wrong at all.

0:55:33.320 --> 0:55:35.480
<v Speaker 1>And maybe that can change by January, but right now

0:55:35.600 --> 0:55:38.560
<v Speaker 1>they are in such a role. Um. I like, I

0:55:38.680 --> 0:55:41.000
<v Speaker 1>love the way Dallas overall has played at home this season.

0:55:41.040 --> 0:55:43.040
<v Speaker 1>They've really played overall a lot better at home. I

0:55:43.080 --> 0:55:44.759
<v Speaker 1>think this is gonna be a really good game, right,

0:55:44.840 --> 0:55:47.279
<v Speaker 1>hurry up, and picked the Saints. I think off offensively,

0:55:47.360 --> 0:55:50.520
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys gonna score some points. Um, But I like

0:55:50.680 --> 0:55:53.520
<v Speaker 1>the Saints in the end in this one fair enough.

0:55:53.680 --> 0:55:56.719
<v Speaker 1>I think maybe they get they get to thirty thirty one,

0:55:56.960 --> 0:55:59.279
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight, yeah, and flip it the other way. Yeah,

0:55:59.400 --> 0:56:02.120
<v Speaker 1>and picked it like, I wouldn't be surprised if they

0:56:02.160 --> 0:56:03.560
<v Speaker 1>do it. And if they do, it's gonna be to

0:56:03.600 --> 0:56:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Lawrence reaking havoc. And and you know, they need

0:56:06.560 --> 0:56:09.719
<v Speaker 1>to create some extra possession and maybe it's him. Maybe

0:56:09.760 --> 0:56:12.840
<v Speaker 1>it's a strip, sack, fumble on breeze, something like that

0:56:12.960 --> 0:56:15.120
<v Speaker 1>to give them an extra possession. Offensively, they're gonna have

0:56:15.160 --> 0:56:17.239
<v Speaker 1>to have one of those. Yeah, you're gonna get it

0:56:17.320 --> 0:56:22.360
<v Speaker 1>from the coit toss? Is that what it is? Defer

0:56:22.760 --> 0:56:26.640
<v Speaker 1>it's been working for him, Yeah, he ain't played the Saints.

0:56:27.239 --> 0:56:29.319
<v Speaker 1>That's fair, that's fair. You don't know to get three

0:56:29.360 --> 0:56:36.560
<v Speaker 1>and out though, just ball, it's still three plays zero zero. Okay,

0:56:36.680 --> 0:56:39.160
<v Speaker 1>my point punning from that, you're punting from your own eighteen.

0:56:41.080 --> 0:56:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to go down this rabbit hole. But

0:56:42.440 --> 0:56:44.399
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about what Marcus said in the locker room.

0:56:44.400 --> 0:56:46.040
<v Speaker 1>You want to give your guys some confidence, give your

0:56:46.080 --> 0:56:48.120
<v Speaker 1>defense some confidence. Let's go out there and stop him

0:56:48.160 --> 0:56:51.080
<v Speaker 1>first possession. Yeah, all right, Micky's not in that. On

0:56:51.200 --> 0:56:53.440
<v Speaker 1>board with that. All right, it's nothing wrong with stopping

0:56:53.560 --> 0:56:56.160
<v Speaker 1>him the second possession. That's fair enough. Stop him possession,

0:56:56.200 --> 0:56:58.600
<v Speaker 1>stop him the first possession of the second half. All right,

0:56:59.600 --> 0:57:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Thank you guys for joining us. Thanks you, ken, everybody.

0:57:03.360 --> 0:57:05.479
