1
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: The following.

2
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys.

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 2: This these Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.

6
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: What's up everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Wednesday,

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: September the eighteenth, Humpday. Here, middle of the week, getting

8
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: ready to talk more about the Ravens. I think we're

9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: done with the Saints, as one of the callers said

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: yesterday so eloquently, that we could flush away that game

11
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: and move on. But I still think that the lingering

12
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: problems from that game are going to be stuff that

13
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: we talk about and see how they carry over or

14
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: not carry over to this game against the Ravens. Injury wise,

15
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson's the big one to watch there, a tight

16
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: end for the Cowboys. Did not play last week, did

17
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: not practice all of the week. I think, let's see

18
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: what he does today. You know, even if he's limited,

19
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: that would be better than what we've seen, and that

20
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: would be maybe ramping it up, trying to get him

21
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,559
Speaker 1: back and ready to go. And I think that he's needed.

22
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Luke Schoomaker did a nice job, but I

23
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: think that there's a big difference there and you know,

24
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: just a dynamic type of tight end, a guy that

25
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: can get down the field, make some plays and really

26
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: give you some big play potential. And I think Ferguson

27
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: does that, so that that's something that to keep an

28
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: eye on for him this week. And John Stevens as well,

29
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: another tight end, has not played for the Cowboys yet

30
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: injuries have limited him. So let's see if both of

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: them can get on the field for this game. All right,

32
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: let's go to the phone lines here. Eight to eight

33
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,080

00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: it's behind us, and uh, we are looking forward to

59
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 3: I know we haven't don't have a great record against

60
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,720

61
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,519

62
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: Do you see that happening? Jeff? Like like, And I'm

63
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: not arguing with you, I'm just asking what what what

64
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: do you see? Is it needs to happen the most

65
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys to do that.

66
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 5: Well, I see.

67
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 3: We're gonna play better offensively, we're gonna we're gonna when

68
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 3: we get to the red zone, we're gonna have touchdowns

69
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 3: and we're gonna protect the ball. And defensively, we are

70
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: going to do much better against the runs. And that's

71
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: what I see happening. I just see a better you know.

72
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 3: I mean, we got the crap you know, out of

73
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: this last week and it happens to the best of them.

74
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: But but we are going to respond the right way.

75
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's what it takes. I think that's the

76
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: big word of the week is response. I mean, how

77
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: do they respec from that. We're gonna learn a lot

78
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: about the team here in week three. You know, we

79
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: think we know about it. Thanks thanks for the call,

80
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: Jeff and Carly and Toby Romo. Thank you there for

81
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: the big support in Maryland. Don't get a lot of

82
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: calls from Maryland. That's good, good, good stuff there. But

83
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: I think responses is the big is the big key

84
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: this week. They have to figure out how to get

85
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: off the mat and and and what happens from there,

86
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, can you do you just keep

87
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: getting hit or do you you know, do you turn

88
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: this into like every Rocky movie where the first couple

89
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: of rounds this looks terrible and then all of a

90
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: sudden you just keep grinding and keep grinding, you know,

91
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: keep fighting. Get the whole crowd to turn them against

92
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: the hometown guy and cheer for you and in communism

93
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: at the same time, and then win the fight at

94
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: the end. Sorry having a Rocky four moment, but I'm

95
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: just saying, it's how do you respond? And that's what

96
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: they have to do. All right, It's go to Jeremy

97
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: Salt Lake City.

98
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 6: Hello?

99
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: Do you heard me? What's up?

100
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 7: Man?

101
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 8: He man?

102
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 9: Uh?

103
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 7: I just wanted to call in and you know, kind

104
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 7: of a couple things I want to talk about. First

105
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 7: of all, I watched that press conference with Mike Zimmer

106
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 7: and it made me feel a little better when he

107
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 7: started talking about the Pickle Juice game. I kind of

108
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 7: want your thoughts on that and a couple of memories

109
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 7: from that if I remember correctly. All I remember about

110
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 7: that game was Jeremiah Trotter on side kick? Uh right,

111
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 7: am I thinking of the right game?

112
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 5: Yeah?

113
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

114
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 7: And didn't Joey Galloway get hurt that game too?

115
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: I think?

116
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: Yep?

117
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 7: But yeah, so like that made me feel better just

118
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 7: watching Zim the way he takes responsibility for it all. Yeah,

119
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 7: you know, he didn't put it on the players, and

120
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 7: I think he'll get that turned round. After watching the

121
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 7: All twenty two. There there were a lot there were

122
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 7: there were there were a lot of things in that

123
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 7: All twenty two that came out as far as our

124
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 7: running game too. I said it on Monday. Rieko made

125
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 7: some bad choices. There was a couple of times where

126
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 7: he had a he had a cutback plane.

127
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 6: That he didn't take.

128
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 7: So you know, I mean there's some things that that

129
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 7: we can work out and that you know, it's not

130
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 7: the season isn't lost, right, Yeah. And the other thing

131
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 7: this you think Keith's son. I apologize, but yeah, I

132
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 7: was just wanting your thoughts on that Pickle Juice game

133
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 7: and yeah, I'll hang up.

134
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: Okay, sounds good, thank you. Yeah. Usually a game that

135
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: you put way in the distant memory there because it

136
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: was it was about as bad as you could ever

137
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: have and to ever start the season two thousand Dave Campo,

138
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: first first year head coach, And it's one hundred and

139
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: nine degrees in at Texas Stadium and felt like one

140
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty on the field, and the Eagles start

141
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: off with an on side kick and that's how the season,

142
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, begins, and then they win. I think it's

143
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: like forty one fourteen to stay rushes for two hundred

144
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: something yards and the Eagles were drinking pickle juice on

145
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: the sideline to help them, you know, and they're sitting

146
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: right in the sun, but didn't bother them and Akeman

147
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: with a concussion and Guylla we gets hurt. I mean

148
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: it was like, now he's a just bad start, but

149
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: then the whole season it was terrible. Zimmer talked about

150
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: how he had to, you know, pick it up from there.

151
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the defensive coordinator. Now this is his

152
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: fae because we remember that as as Campo. It was

153
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: the first game for Zimmer as the defensive coordinator, and

154
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: that year was tough. I mean, gave up a lot

155
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: of two hundred yard rushers, like three that year. So

156
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: I think his point was is that if he didn't

157
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: figure it out at some point, he wouldn't be sitting

158
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: here where he is now. And you know, I never

159
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: once ever realized that about Zimmer until actually like ten

160
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: seconds ago, that that was his first game ever as

161
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. I mean I always put that on Campo

162
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: as you know, Campo's first game as a coach, but

163
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: never never remembered that that it was Zimmer's first game

164
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: as defensive coordinator. So interesting. But that's what I remember

165
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: from that game, and that was the start of the

166
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: two thousand season, and it was the start of three

167
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: five and eleven years. And so that's why I don't

168
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: really like bringing that up, like, oh, like this is

169
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: gonna lead to something else. Let's let's see if the

170
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: Cowboys can turn it around. They have a much better

171
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: football team and and and better players than they had

172
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: in that season. So that's why that's not a very

173
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: good one to compare it to. But Zimmer did bring

174
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: it up, and that's why that's why Jeremy mentioned it.

175
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: All right, Albert in Tucson, Arizona, Albert.

176
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 10: Hey, good morning, Nick, how are you. I'm doing pretty good,

177
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 10: doing pretty good. God lucky this week two times. But hey,

178
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 10: I'm a storyline guy. So you know I got a

179
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 10: call into this great show, my first call. We didn't

180
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 10: really I didn't really get your opinion on. You know,

181
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 10: Brandon Aubrey has been awesome, you know, awesome right, so

182
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 10: you know on years past, you know, when when we're

183
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 10: down we need something, uh, you know, to give us

184
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 10: that little Joe. What do you think about you know,

185
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 10: the special teams either, you know, throwing a fake pass

186
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 10: from the putter, from Brandon Aubrey, from somebody on special

187
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 10: teams to give us that Joe, do you think those

188
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 10: guys are capable of doing something like that?

189
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? I do. I mean if you I think, I

190
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: think anger is you know he can throw it. I

191
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: mean we we've seen a play before like that, you know.

192
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: I mean that, I don't know if they're at that

193
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: point of the season to do that. I mean, there's

194
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: different there's different theories there. I've seen people throw it

195
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: out in the preseason just to kind of get it

196
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: out there and get it on tape. So Nolan John

197
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: Fossil there, you know, bones is he's doing something like that.

198
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: He's get he's he's got something in the works. But

199
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: I'll say this, typically the teams that run the fakes

200
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: and do all the the you know, the reverses and

201
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: the throwbacks and and all the trick plays are the

202
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: teams that aren't very good. And that's because you have

203
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: to do that kind of stuff to compete. You hope

204
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: that that's not what this team is, but we'll we'll

205
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: find out. You know, in twenty twenty, they weren't very good.

206
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: And they did have to do a lot of fakes

207
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: and things like that. Last few years you haven't seen

208
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: it as much, so, you know, but it's all. It's

209
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: always there. It's always something to put in there and

210
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: bring out of the bag.

211
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 6: If you need to sweat. Sweet yep. All right, hopefully

212
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 6: they do.

213
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 10: Man, thank you very much, God bless you guys and

214
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 10: the great work.

215
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Albert. Albert called earlier this week. I

216
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: remember he was the one same needed a like they

217
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: need a hype hype guy or something there on the sideline,

218
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: and and and maybe they do, but you know, and

219
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: if it's not that a trick play, you know he's

220
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: looking for something, you know what. At least at least

221
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: when you call, you're bringing something to the table. I

222
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: don't always agree, that's fine. I don't always agree with me.

223
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: We don't have to agree. Just be thinking, Just think

224
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: outside of the box. You just got your ass kicked

225

00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 12: Typically go usually a couple of hours. I kind of

269
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 12: planned it so we can watch the football game and

270
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 12: watch al Michael software every Thursday and act like it's

271
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 12: the worst night of his life, and then you know,

272
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 12: we can have some fun talk football and all that

273
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 12: while we watch the game together.

274
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: Is that the narrative for him? Like, like, honest, yeah,

275
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: well he deserves better.

276
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 12: Because he's a great announcer. I just don't think that

277
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 12: these games are very interesting on Thursday for him thanks

278
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 12: for the most part.

279
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: Typically aren't. I don't know what it is. I think

280
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: it's because everybody has to get a game, and so

281
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: it's just I don't know. It always just feels like

282
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: the Titans are playing or the Jaguars. That's that's the

283
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: ones I always. I know, it's not that's not always

284
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: the case, and there's been some good ones. And the

285
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: Cowboy we're going to be there next Thursday night. It'll

286
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: be it'll be that game, and that probably won't be

287
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: a good game either Cowboys and Giants. Who knows, who knows?

288
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 5: No.

289
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 12: Last year Cowboys, it was probably the best game they

290
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 12: had since they started doing these Thursday night games that

291
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 12: I can remember. Anyway, that was a great one.

292
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean the first first Thursday night game

293
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: of the season was about as good as it gets.

294
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: The ra's true Ravens and she's all right, what do

295
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: you got doing?

296
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 13: Yeah?

297
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 6: Okay, real quick.

298
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 12: But the run game. I think it's gonna be better this week.

299
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 12: First off, it's not a Shanahan Tree, so that's great

300
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 12: news for us. And second, these guys play more hat

301
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 12: on hat football. They're not doing you know, pulling guards

302
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 12: and tackles. They're not, uh, you know, getting these reach

303
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 12: blocks and trying to get these second level blocks and

304
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 12: stuff as much as far as the design goes. So

305
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 12: I think our dts will have a better chances we

306
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 12: take to get hat on hat and just hold the

307
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 12: ground to the linebackers slow. They don't really do a

308
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 12: lot of outside run plays, so that's good news for us.

309
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 12: And then I heard yesterday talking about Deuce and the

310
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 12: running backs, and it's an interesting stat on juice I

311
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 12: saw online yesterday. He's got fifteen percent of the touches

312
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 12: out of the backfield, so that's catches and runs.

313
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 4: He has six of.

314
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 12: Them totals, right, But he has more combined force miss

315
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 12: tackles than Zeke and Dwell combined and they have twenty

316
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 12: touches apiece. So there's something there. I think you just

317
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 12: have to give him a larger dose. I think they

318
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 12: had a plan for that against the Saints. They just

319
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 12: warn a negative script, got out of rhythm and couldn't

320
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 12: call the plays like they wanted to. So before I

321
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 12: make any moves for Dalvin Cook, first off, I'm giving

322
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 12: him more touches to see what he can really do.

323
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 12: And I'm giving him plays not just up the middle.

324
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 12: I know you got to do that, but I'm also

325
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 12: going to use into his strength. I'm going to get

326
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 12: him out as backfield on some splinger out and screens.

327
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 12: You don't have to be a pass pro running back.

328
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 12: If they're blitzing, you can get out on a route.

329
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 12: So I want to see more designs like that. Let's

330
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 12: see what you can really do before revention.

331
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: For Cook, all right, all right, doing well? I don't know.

332
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if I agree with that of him

333
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: kind of being the guy that needs a lot more carries.

334
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: I thought it was sort of forced. However, I don't

335
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: have to agree. I think that, uh, you might be

336
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: onto something, and from the stuff that I hear, I

337
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: think duce Von will get a little bit more carries.

338
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you get the start. I'm

339
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: not sure about how they're going to do all of that,

340
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: but I think that what we saw was is just

341
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: there's gonna be more of that. So we'll see. We'll

342
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: see how how that goes. Guys. Phone lines are open

343
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: right now eight at eight eight, five, five, two two

344
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: nine seven. Actually one line is open because we have

345
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: another caller in. But I'll finish that point for uh

346
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: from Dylan that you know, I think that the reason

347
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: why and this kind of goes back to the show.

348
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: I mean a call from yesterday about running back by committee,

349
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: and I think you kind of back into running back

350
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: by committee, a receiver by committee or anything by committee.

351
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not really what you want to do,

352
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: but that's the way it turns out. And it seems

353
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: like the running back position is one where there's it's

354
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: split within the organization. It's not like there's one guy

355
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: that everybody thinks is the best one. And and that's

356
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: that's kind of a problem when you have a lot

357
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: of coaches, a lot of scouts, you know, and you've

358
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: got you know, owner GM, and you've got Steven will McClay,

359
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: got all these you know people head coach of course,

360
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: and and you've got different opinions, and so you know,

361
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: when it doesn't work, then now the other people coming like,

362
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: well what about this guy? What about this guy? So

363
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: you know, we might see everybody get a get a

364
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: turn at this and and and who knows, but I

365
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: know this that that whoever it is better bring, better

366
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: be physical and ready to break those tackles because Rokwan

367
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: Smith and the Ravens are going to mean business for

368
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: sure on Sunday at three twenty five. There's no doubt.

369
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Ronnie in New Jersey. Good morning, Rick,

370
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: what's up Ronnie?

371
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 5: Not much? Not much, Nick, I've been trying to get

372
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 5: on since since the last time I got on it.

373
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 5: You've become the hardest person to get through.

374
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 14: Man.

375
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 5: It's it's it's unbelievable. I tried calling so many times.

376
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 5: It's amazing, Nick.

377
00:17:58,680 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.

378
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 5: You have a go. You had h Yeah, you were

379
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 5: popular before, but you're way more popular now. Thank you. Nick.

380
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 5: The other day you had this guy he called right.

381
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 5: He was talking about how abouts we brought a hype man,

382
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 5: you know, to get the players. I'm like, hype man,

383
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 5: that's what the players are for, that's what the other players.

384
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 5: But that's what the coaches are for.

385
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 6: You don't.

386
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 5: You don't need a hype man. If you need to

387
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 5: get hyped because they're having a bad day because the

388
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 5: other team is just running the ball, you can't you

389
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 5: can't stop them. I mean you need a hype man

390
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 5: for that. Come on, man, No, you don't need a

391
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 5: hype man. You need tougher players. And I'm going to say,

392
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 5: I know you're going to say every one of them

393
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 5: is tough. I know they're all tough. But when you

394
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 5: see the law out hustling the defensive backs, the linebackers,

395
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 5: all these guys to get to the running back while

396
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 5: the guy scoring the touchdown, but he's still outrunning these

397
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 5: guys and he's way slower than them. Yeah, you need

398
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 5: guys that have that mentality you have got. You need

399
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 5: guys that are tough. You need guys that guy that

400
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 5: want it not you know, you need the other guys

401
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 5: to push them to want and like certain players that

402
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 5: we might have, I don't want to call them out,

403
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 5: but you need that type of player like we have.

404
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 5: We're gonna go every year. This is how I'm seeing it.

405
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 5: Every year. We go through the same thing every year.

406
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 5: We're like, hey, you know what I called you last week.

407
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 5: I got through last week and I said, you know what, Nick,

408
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 5: I want to see how they play when they play

409
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 5: against the Saints. And just like I expected, when a

410
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 5: team that's tough and punches them in the mouth, what

411
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 5: do they do? They back down? And it's upsetting because

412
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 5: you think that the coach is gonna change with the

413
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 5: new defensive coordinator and everything, and it's still the same.

414
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 5: It's that that's the hardest part. I'll be honest with you.

415
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 5: But hopefully maybe I don't know, somebody gets through to them,

416
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 5: but I don't see it happening. But that Thanks for

417
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 5: taking my call, Nick, I appreciate you. I've been watching

418
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 5: Houston the lud S break, right.

419
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, we just dropped. We dropped the spring Yeah.

420
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I appreciate you, Chris, everybody there,

421
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 5: and thanks for taking me.

422
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: All right, all right, let's keep let's keep it rolling.

423
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: Let's go to Rex in Frisco. Rex.

424
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: Hey, Nick, how's it going.

425
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 5: First of all, I love all the things that Duskyways.

426
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 9: Dot com riders do, but I especially appreciate your perspective

427
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 9: and how you take objectivity and data to support all

428
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 9: your views, which bring me to the question I have.

429
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 9: Do we have a halftime adjustment problem with the offense?

430
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 9: Dak Prescott has a QBR in the first half of

431
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 9: two games ninety eight point seven and a QBR in

432
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 9: the second half of fifty three point four. We've accounted

433
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 9: for six total points in the second half offensively and

434
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 9: when we needed to convert third downs to seed lamb,

435
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 9: they've missed on plants. Just wanted to get your thoughts,

436
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 9: what's going on with the second half? One game we needed,

437
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 9: we didn't need it. One game we did, and we

438
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 9: couldn't do anything in either half.

439
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 1: You know, hold on, Rex, are you just your first

440
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: time to call?

441
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 5: Yes?

442
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 8: Sir?

443
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: All right, well you know what that means. We go,

444
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: here we go and thank you. You probably could have

445
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: just thrown a rock at this place, I mean Frisco

446
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: right down the street. Thank you. You know what you

447
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: might be, you might be onto something. And again two

448
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: games in is still to me I'd like to carry

449
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: over from last year, it's still it's still early in

450
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: the year. If you look at last year scoring by quarters,

451
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 1: the Cowboys absolutely dominated every quarter, first, second, and fourth.

452
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: The only quarter that they didn't outscore teams or is

453
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: the third quarter. So you know, you're looking at this year,

454
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm looking at last year and it seems like, for

455
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: whatever the reason, you're not adjusting or you're not making

456
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,239
Speaker 1: or they're they're making more adjustments or whatever it is.

457
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: And that's just from the scoring standpoint. So I'm not

458
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna squash that one just yet because

459
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's kind of what we saw from

460
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: last year too, So there may be something to this

461
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: about them needing to, you know, obviously, you know, needing

462
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: to to make some adjustments. Now, I'll say this too,

463
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, they weren't winning any coin tosses

464
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: last year, and they were they were starting with the

465
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: football a lot, which means they weren't starting the third quarter,

466
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: and so that that might be one of the reasons

467
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: why they're not getting as many points. But either way though,

468
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: you can still stop them on defense. So I do

469
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: think you might you might be on something with the

470
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: adjustments there.

471
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 9: I think, do you put that on Mike McCarthy, Do

472
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 9: you put it on Shotenheimer? Do you put it on that?

473
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you have to. You have to

474
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 1: put that on the head coach. I mean that that's

475
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: where that goes. Just like just like the fact that

476
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: they were outscoring people one forty four to sixty seven

477
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: in the first quarter, I'll put that, I'll I'll yeah,

478
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: you know that was the fourth quarter, but one twenty

479
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 1: nine to fifty six in the first quarter last year,

480
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: I'll put that on the head coach too, good job.

481
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: I mean, got the team ready to go. So you

482
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: can't just be on the head coach when it's bad.

483
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: It's when when it's good too. But but I think, yeah,

484
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: it goes on the coaches. It goes on on how

485
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: they're they're they're preparing and sometimes sometimes ego you know,

486
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: comes into play here too, where they're like, we just

487
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: do what we do. They have to stop us. We're

488
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: gonna do what we do well that that works until

489
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: they stop you and then and then what you know.

490
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: So but but anyways, good good stuff there. Rex appreciate

491

00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: You're back.

521
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 14: What's going on, how you doing. No, I'm good, man.

522
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,239
Speaker 14: I just like I told, I told Chris, I had

523
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 14: to handle some business. My wife called me friends and

524
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 14: put the school, the kids school on lockdown. So I

525
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 14: had to make a whole bunch of phone calls and

526
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 14: figure out if everybody was Okay.

527
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 1: Yep, no, I've been there here'. That's not that's not

528
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 1: a good That's not a good phrase to hear when

529
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: you have kids, of course, even if you don't, even

530
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: if you don't, but I mean, certainly if you do,

531
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: that's not good.

532
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 14: All right, No, man, I was calling man. I kind

533
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 14: of pieced out the Ravens game, and first off, I

534
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 14: don't think they're using Derrick Henry right. So I'm praying

535
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 14: they continue not using Derrick Henry right this week and

536
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 14: so we don't have to worry about trying to deal

537
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 14: with two hundred and fifty pounds of grown men. But

538
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 14: my biggest concern, and I think I've called and talked

539
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 14: about this all summer, is like the big boys up front.

540
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 14: And I'm not a big PFF, great guy like that,

541
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 14: but I mean, if you wanted to take anything in consideration,

542
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 14: they had three all three of our d lineman or

543
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 14: a big big boys Mazi and the other Justin Phillips

544
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 14: and lin Vald Joseph as like three of the worst

545
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 14: lineman in the game the other day. And I know

546
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 14: it may be a different scheme, but Jesus, like, where

547
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 14: where do we go? Because like I said, I'm more

548
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 14: worried about the big boys up front because then it

549
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 14: helps protect the linebackers.

550
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 5: In the back.

551
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 9: So if they pushing them out.

552
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 14: The way, our linebackers are gonna be no good. So

553
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 14: all this talk about getting the linebackers ain't helping if

554
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 14: they can't even get off blocks because the big big

555
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 14: boys up front ain't doing no good.

556
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: Right.

557
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 14: And my next thing was, where's all these packages where

558
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 14: Micah is supposed to play linebacker and not d in

559
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 14: Because I see him on the line and I don't

560
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 14: know if he's supposed to be just walking off the

561
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 14: line or on the line or but I see him

562
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 14: playing more DN than he does linebacker. Would that help?

563
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 14: But at the same time, like I said, it's more

564
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 14: of like, would it even help if the D lineman

565
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 14: is still sitting in his laft, It wouldn't make no difference.

566
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I agree with you on that. I think

567
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: thanks to the call Lewis, I do believe that Micah,

568
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: this is time to throw some of those things out

569
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: there that we haven't seen before and try to confuse

570
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: the quarterback. You know, give him a look that they

571
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: haven't seen. Give Lamar Jackson look that that he hasn't seen.

572
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: Micah's got to be a player that you have to recognize,

573
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: and so if he's sitting at a different spot in

574
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: the field. But to do that, though, you have to

575
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: be willing to not rush them at times, you know.

576
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he can't just be rushing from the linebacker spot.

577
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: There's gonna be time where he has to play linebacker,

578
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: which is fine. I'm not saying he can't do that,

579
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: but he's got to shed those blocks too. You know,

580
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: those guards that get to that next level and you

581
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: said how they're using Henry and you hope it's you

582
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: know that they continue to do it. Well, you know,

583
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: just think about what oh and two looks like there.

584
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: I mean, one in one sounds pretty bad here. I mean,

585
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: the guy is falling at one and one. If you're

586
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: oh and two in Baltimore, you know, there's a lot

587
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: of questions about who's doing this and why aren't they

588
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: doing this? And so typically that's when things turn to,

589
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: you know, start to shift back to to what people are,

590
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: you know, talking about or I'm not saying that the

591
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: coaches given to media and fans and all that, but

592
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: you know, if everyone's kind of saying it, usually that's

593
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: when they're like, all right, let's kind of go back

594
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: to what we know and what what we do. And

595
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think he's a downhill runner, Derrick Henry,

596
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: and we're going to see a lot of that. I mean,

597
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: why wouldn't you look at the tape from the Cowboys

598
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: Saints game if you're Baltimore and go, well, let's just

599
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: let's just run over them. We can do that too.

600
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: I Mean, we we don't have a Kamar, but we've

601
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: got Henry and we've got Lamar Jackson, who's the most

602
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: dynamic quarterback in the game when it comes to running.

603
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: So we can do that. And so they're probably going

604
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: to do that. It's going to be very important for

605
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys to establish that early that they can stop

606
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: the run. All right, Let's go to Rick in Massachusetts.

607
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 13: Hey, Nick, how you doing?

608
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: Ay good?

609
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 11: How are you all right?

610
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 13: I have a couple of things. One is, maybe what

611
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 13: do you think about switching it up a little bit

612
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 13: and maybe bringing Ryan FLORINOI in to see if we

613
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 13: can get some of the deep threat type thing, you know,

614
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 13: and whether it's sitting Jyla Brooks something like that. Also,

615
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 13: I've heard, you know, hopefully they will you know, get

616
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 13: over shown, you know, into the base package or who's

617
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 13: gonna work both so you can just have them on

618
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 13: the field. Those are the two things I was thinking about.

619
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 12: And get your.

620
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 13: Opinion, all right, like beauh uh, pustly optimistic for this weekend,

621
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 13: but we'll see.

622
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, I mean I think you have to

623
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: be optimistic, stay optimistic, you know. I mean sure the

624
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: raven I mean we I've said it and everyone's saying it.

625
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: You know, they're going to be desperate, They're hungry. They're

626
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: also in too, I mean like they're oh in too.

627
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: I mean you are what you are? I mean they

628
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: they didn't they didn't beat the Raiders at home. I

629
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: mean they we thought that. You know, I've watched the

630
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: Raiders in preseason. I saw their starters play into the

631
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: third quarter. I thought this might be one of the

632
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: worst teams in football. I mean that's that's what it

633
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: looks like. Now it's preseason's preseason. But you know, man,

634
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: I mean I wasn't impressed with you know, their quarter

635
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: their starting quarterbacks. I just like, this is gonna be

636
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: a tough year for them. But uh, and it still

637
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: might be. But but the point is is that the

638
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: Ravens are owing too. Because they're owing too, they haven't

639
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,479
Speaker 1: been good enough to win their first two games. That

640
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that they're not a good team. And it

641
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they can't come in here and and and

642
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: and run over the Cowboys. But the Cowboys are gonna

643
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: have to figure this out. I like, I like some

644
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: of the things you said. I mean, that's that's an

645
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: easy change to me, Ryan Flinoy. For for Jalen Brooks,

646
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. I mean, Brooks is playing a

647
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: lot though. I mean it's he gets out there. Uh

648
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: they use four receivers a lot. He's he gets some.

649
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: He caught a pass obviously in the first game against

650
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: the against Cleveland on a big drive and then of

651
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: course he was the guy that Dak was throwing to

652
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: and he fell down. You know, I'm I've never been

653
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: a huge fan of of of Brooks. Not not that

654
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: it's uh that I have an opinion one way or another.

655
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: I just you know, I just kind of think, all right,

656
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: not bad, not not great. And and he's probably bringing

657
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: something to special teams because he does play a lot

658
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: on special teams. So if Flinoy can pick up that

659
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: slack on special teams, yeah, he might give you a

660
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: little bit more in the passing game. I wouldn't be

661
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: opposed to that at all. All right, let's go to

662
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: Tim and Woodston, Salem, North Carolina.

663
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 6: Tim, Hey, Nick, how you doing.

664
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you in?

665
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 6: I am good. It's getting harder and harder to get

666
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 6: through to you, which is a good thing.

667
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. That's it. That's a good thing. I

668
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: wish we could have a longer show. I mean that's

669
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: what I do. I mean, we're so we're stacked here,

670
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: you know, got shows all day long, but I mean

671
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: every once in a while, would be nice to have

672
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: a longer shows to get everybody a chance to call.

673
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 6: Yeah. Well, I genuinely miss you guys when you're not

674
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 6: you know, doing the off season or whatever. So it's

675
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 6: good to get in. Just want to make a few points.

676
00:32:55,360 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 6: I have been coaching football forever, and it's one thing

677
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 6: that I teach my kids, and that word is compete.

678
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 6: And the effort that I saw Sunday, it was like

679
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 6: one caller brought up earlier when they saw Tank running

680
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 6: down field behind a running back twenty yards down the field.

681
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 6: Love that, Love that. But you know, to me, it

682
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 6: just seems like we're, yeah, a step off, we give

683
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 6: up on just a little too easy. And I hate

684
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 6: to say this about you know, professional football players because

685
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 6: I've never been to that level, but I just want

686
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 6: to see a little a little more dole out of

687
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 6: these guys. You know.

688
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agree, I mean, and you want to

689
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: see that again. It's it's always tough. I'm I'm always

690
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: hesitant to to talk about you know, and things like

691
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: that that that you really can't prove. And I know

692
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: you're kind of doing the same thing, but but yeah,

693
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: you see a little bit of that, you know that

694
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: that you you want them to fight back. I mean,

695
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: they get down early. This hasn't been a team that

696
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: that really gets down early and comes back and you know,

697
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: I'm talking like two three scores and that's you know,

698
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: it's tough to do in this league. But we just

699
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: don't see it happening a lot.

700
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 6: And football is. It's the reason why I love this

701
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 6: game so much. If it mirrors life so much. In life,

702
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 6: you're gonna get put on your butt. What are you

703
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 6: gonna do? Are you gonna lay down? Or are you

704
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 6: gonna get up and fight back? And I just want

705
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 6: to see a little more fight out out of our guys. Yeah,

706
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 6: you know, and you know that's that's basically all I

707
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 6: have to say.

708
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: All right, looking for more fight. I don't I don't

709
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,479
Speaker 1: disagree at all. Let's take a break here and let's

Speaker 1: Rob? How are we doing?

740
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 5: You know, I'm good.

741
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 18: You know everybody's talking about you know what we want?

742
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 18: You know, this team isn't it? What we want this

743
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 18: team to be is not what they are? This team

744
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 18: is fast boy basketball. This team is not punch in

745
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 18: the mouth on either side of the football. And the

746
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 18: best thing this team could do is they have to

747
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 18: pass the ball. The passing game is going to carry

748
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 18: this team. They need to get a double digit lead

749
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 18: for this defense to be good. This defense, and I

750
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 18: say double digit because even if they're only up three

751
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 18: or seven, if teams want to run the ball, we're

752
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 18: not built to stop the run. So we've seen it

753
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 18: last year. If we get a double digit lead and

754
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 18: we could just rush the passer to pressure on it,

755
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 18: that's when you'll get interceptions and sacks, obviously, and I

756
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 18: think it's predicated on deck. But he needs some playmakers

757
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 18: on our fense. And I'm not talking about fast guys

758
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 18: like Cooks is fast. We need a quick guy. We

759
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 18: need a guy that you could throw a quick pass

760
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 18: to and he could make people miss. We always keep

761
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 18: thinking it's going to be turping. It's not. He's been

762
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 18: on this team now for a few years. For whatever reason,

763
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 18: they don't get him involved in the passing game. Either

764
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 18: he doesn't know the offense still or or or they

765
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 18: don't They just don't trust them, and defenses they we

766
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 18: only have one trick pony, everybody's gonna double cover ceed Lamb.

767
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 18: I mean even last week we got lucky where two

768
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 18: guys collided and they go sixty yards. This offense right now,

769
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,320
Speaker 18: it's it's stuck in like second year. It's not Everything

770
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 18: looks hard, and I think they have to get away

771
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,959
Speaker 18: from the running. We don't have a running back. We're

772
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,760
Speaker 18: not a running team. The only time this team should

773
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 18: lean on the run is after they have the lead.

774
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 18: But they need to throw the ball.

775
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 6: Just throw the ball all.

776
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 18: Over the yard and and and get especially against the

777
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 18: Ravens that they're not a good passing team. You get

778
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 18: a lead on them double digit and let's say that

779
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 18: you want Lamar Jackson to throw the ball right. So

780
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 18: I just think we all want the defense to be

781
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 18: more like Sam Francisco, you know linebackers Smith. We we

782
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 18: don't have it as great as Mike is. That's not him.

783
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 18: He doesn't want to play to run. They're they're in

784
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 18: a tough spot because they've yet to be at a

785
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 18: defensive end that they could really trust out there to say, okay,

786
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 18: now we can really move back because yes, if you

787
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 18: put Mike at linebacker, which we could try it, but

788
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 18: there is nobody that rushes.

789
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 6: To pass them.

790
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 18: We don't have anybody, so you have to kind of

791
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 18: put them on the end of Yes, you're gonna move them,

792
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 18: maybe blitz, but they if there is a running play,

793
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 18: they'll run away. This week is going to be is

794
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,959
Speaker 18: gonna be hard because of the read option with Labar

795
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 18: and you know Mike doesn't play that really well, so

796
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 18: that's gonna be interesting how they're gonna how they're gonna

797
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 18: do that. But it's all about It's all about the offense.

798
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:47,280
Speaker 5: Forget the defense.

799
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 18: The defense is an average defense until they.

800
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 11: Get a lead.

801
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 18: If they if you're on passing downs, this defense is

802
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 18: top five. But if the games are close, or they

803
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 18: to be low scoring games where the team is still

804
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 18: not going to bend in the run, then no, we're

805
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 18: gonna we're gonna struggle. So it's all on deck and

806
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 18: Mike McCarthy needs to do better. The offense is to vanilla.

807
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 6: You need to.

808
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 18: You just can't run end the rounds with certain personnel.

809
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 18: That team's like, oh here comes you know, we say

810
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 18: it as fans, you see it all. It doesn't end

811
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 18: around the turf, and it doesn't end around the CD

812
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,439
Speaker 18: you could do it once in a while, but they got.

813
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 6: To push the ball.

814
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 18: I don't want to see a run into the line

815
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 18: on first down. We get two yards. This year so far,

816
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 18: every third down has been like third and seven or more,

817
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 18: all right, And yeah, I just think I think it's

818
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 18: all on it's all on deck, and it's it's it's

819
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 18: all on the passing.

820
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: Game, all right, you know what I mean. You make

821
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 1: you make good points. Yeah I could. I could argue

822
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: with you about the offense being to vanilla and say

823
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: that maybe they're not vanilla enough because everything you're saying

824
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: about not having the lead and having to pass on it.

825
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,280
Speaker 1: If they could just line up and run the football,

826
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: Like if you could just say we're giving We're gonna

827
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: hand the ball off to whoever it is. We're gonna

828
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: get it blocked up front, we're gonna knock you back.

829
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna get four or five six yards, maybe fifteen.

830
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 1: It's not it's not it's just pretty basic. It's not

831
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 1: much to it. That's pretty vanilla football. But you know

832
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 1: what that works. And so that's why I would I

833
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: would disagree if they could be a little bit more

834
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: vanilla and not have to start up with you know,

835
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: cherry jubilee or whatever whatever other flavor that you're you know,

836
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 1: just I mean, yes, it's nice to have that kind

837
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: of stuff, But can I just get the neapolitan? I mean,

838
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 1: can we just get the basic stuff and and do

839
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,959
Speaker 1: well with that? You know, I mean every every ice

840
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: cream shop in the world, I guarantee the number one

841
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 1: seller is vanilla. And there's a reason for that. So

842
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: it's basic. Just like every football team, number one thing

843
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 1: that you know they want to do is run the ball.

844
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: Not everybody can. Saints can, not everybody else can. Let's see,

845
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: let's see if the Cowboys can do that. Because if

846
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: they can do that and everything that you said and

847
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: Rob said a lot of things there, but if you

848
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 1: could just run the ball, how many other things does

849
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: that affect your passing game? All of a sudden, Cooks

850
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: is wide open, Ferguson's gonna be open. CD not gonna

851
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: be doubled as much. Oh, the Cowboys might have a lead,

852
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: and then they have a lead, then they don't have

853
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,879
Speaker 1: to worry about, you know, playing third and two all

854
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: the time. They could play a lot more third to nine,

855
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: third and ten because they're gonna have a lead, and

856
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: teams are gonna have to throw which plays right into

857
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: their hand. So to me, of all the dominoes that

858
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: are lined up, the first one run the football and

859
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 1: be able to run it. By doing that, everything else

860
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 1: can start working from there. All right, it's my rant

861
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: right there of the day, speaking of and we gotta

862
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: get a we gotta get a Yettie hot take. That

863
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: felt like a hot take. I gotta get one at

864
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: some point this week. And I figured at a game

865
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: a week like this, we should have a lot, a

866
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: lot of chances to do that. All right, let's go

867
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: to Greg and Sacramento.

868
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 8: Hey, Nick, I agree one hundred percent with your rant there,

869
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 8: by the way, But I mean, Mike, think, I mean

870
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,399
Speaker 8: the thing that the arranging question that I've had since

871
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 8: Monday is who is this team?

872
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 10: Like?

873
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 8: Who are the coplas? I don't We're going into Week

874
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 8: three here against the Ravens and I don't even know how,

875
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 8: Like how do I be? Am? I? Am I going

876
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 8: to be excited like how it was after the first

877
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 8: game against the Browns? Or do I need to expect

878
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 8: another Saints game where the team I don't even bebt,

879
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 8: I don't even recognize it. Is out there playing like

880
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 8: as a fan, like, I have no idea how to

881
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 8: how to feel about this game. I just I don't

882
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 8: know who. I don't know who this team is, like

883
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 8: they look like two completely different teams between game one

884
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 8: and Game two. I just don't know.

885
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: I think they call that the NFL. I think I

886
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: think that's what I mean say, I think that's what

887
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: they call it. And I'm looking right now because I

888
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 1: had no clue. I was just looking. I don't even

889
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: know what the line then for this game is and

890
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: it's it's Baltimore one and a half. Well a little

891
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: surprising there, but I don't know. I mean, but and

892
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: what go ahead?

893
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 8: Okay, I was just gonna say what one other thing

894
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 8: too that I just wanted to mention and then I'll

895
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 8: let somebody else call. But you know, I was listening

896
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 8: to Micah's podcast, and I know, you know, I'm not

897
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 8: I'm not He's going to do it. He's gonna do whatever.

898
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 8: But there was just something that he said that it

899
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 8: did not sit well with me. He was saying that

900
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 8: he attributed the loss to a lack of effort from

901
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:40,839
Speaker 8: the whole team, and I'm thinking to myself, it's week two?

902
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 8: How is there a lack of effort in week two,

903
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 8: like the second game of the season. I understand, you know,

904
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 8: when you get down further in the season, like how

905
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 8: you said before, you know, people are hurt, right, and

906
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,720
Speaker 8: I'm maybe not necessarily injured, but people out there playing

907
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 8: hurt And I could see how that would affect effort,

908
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 8: right if you're hurting. But I mean, this is the

909
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 8: second game of the seas and like nobody's out there

910
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 8: playing hurts. So what is there how is there a

911
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 8: lack of of uh, you know, like what Mike I

912
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 8: said that didn't make sense to men. Maybe you can

913
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 8: help me understand that.

914
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Greg. We got it.

915
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 6: We got it.

916
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: We had a call. I mean, we had a mail

917
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: back question this morning on our on the website about that,

918
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: and I answered it like I have in the past.

919
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: You know, it's one of those things that's very tough

920
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: to to to to prove, you know, effort. Are you

921
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 1: running hard? Are you are you trying hard? All that

922
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, And so it's just one of those

923
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: categories that people like to throw out there because it

924
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: sounds like a good sports take. You know, I just

925
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: need more effort. Need more of this, need more of that.

926
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: But I'll say this though, and you know you can,

927
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,919
Speaker 1: you can throw the irony on this if you want.

928
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 1: But a lot of times the effort and it comes

929
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: with the preparation and that that is not a Sunday thing.

930
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: Effort is not about Sunday. It's about middle of the week.

931
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: It's about did you watch an tape? Did you practice

932
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: as hard as you needed to? Did you are you

933
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: studying your your your your playbook is in your iPad

934
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: as much as as you should. You have a good

935
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 1: understanding of what they're trying to do and what they

936
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: might do to you, all of those things, you know,

937
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: And that's where effort and preparation and those things that

938
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: are happening during the week. Again, I say that, and

939
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: and and then there is some ironic with based off

940
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 1: of who said what and when and all that kind

941
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: of stuff. And I'll and I'll just reiterate. Players get

942
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: days off, Okay, they all get a day off and

943
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 1: they get to do whatever they want to do. So

944
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: I never thought it was okay for people to to

945
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 1: criticize your quarterback for playing golf competitively on days off

946
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: or whatever they want to do. And if they want

947
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: to do a podcast, they want to do, that's fine,

948
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: it is what it is all. My point though, is

949
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: is sometimes you get beat. You get beat often in

950
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: the middle of the week, and so I don't like

951
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: this question effort on Sunday, but I think sometimes you

952
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,919
Speaker 1: can question, you know, are they prepared during the week.

953
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 1: You just got to be by a team that was

954
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: practicing less than the normal that they were moving around

955
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: because of the hurricane down in Louisiana, so they had

956
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: to go to Dallas early. It was a show for

957
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: them and they were able to come in here and

958
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 1: did not look like that they struggled at all. I got

959
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: to take one more call before we go. Bob in

960
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: Rio Grand Valley, Bob, what's up?

961
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 5: And Nick?

962
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 11: I've been listening to the callers that are calling end.

963
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 6: I agree.

964
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 11: With the caller that was talking about deferring. We need

965
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 11: to take the damn football and try to get a

966
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 11: score to move get the other team play from behind. Secondly,

967
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 11: we need to do something with this running game, and

968
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,399
Speaker 11: we've got the tools on the team to do it.

969
00:47:55,040 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 11: We need to take on a lifty Dalvin Cook and

970
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 11: Zeke in that rotation and give those guys the ball

971
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 11: and let them run with it. If you're going to

972
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 11: use a two back situation, then you can use Lifty

973
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 11: as a blocker, the lead blocker.

974
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 6: But run the ball.

975
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,439
Speaker 11: Run the ball, and every once in a while you've

976
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 11: got to take and throw the ball down the damn

977
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 11: bill to somebody like Flinory to open the field up.

978
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 11: This playing Willie Hayes football ain't gonna get it. That's

979
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 11: what I've got to say today, and I'm sticking with it,

980
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 11: all right.

981
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 1: Thank you, bomh. Well, you know, I mean they're a

982
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 1: throwing team. They're not just going to run it all

983
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 1: the time. You have to run it some and I

984
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,320
Speaker 1: you know, I wish that they were just a balanced team.

985
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:45,760
Speaker 1: Just whatever, see what it is, see what the defense

986
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: has given. You take it from there, exploit them that way.

987
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: You want to bring the safeties in, we'll throw it

988
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: over the top. That's what I thought the Saints did.

989
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: I mean, they did a great job of that. They

990
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 1: won in five different ways. Uh you know, Kamara out

991
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: of the back camor up the middle, to the side,

992
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 1: the backfield, deep balls middle. They did it that way.

993
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: And that's what I think a really good balanced team

994
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: can do when you can play football that way. So

995
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: all right, I mean, we'll see, we'll be able to

996
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: talk about this a little bit more tomorrow. Who should

997
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: be the running backs? What should they do? How much

998
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 1: should they run? How much should they blitz? How much

999
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: should they do everything. We'll talk a little bit more

1000
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,919
Speaker 1: about that and kind of maybe get a deeper dive

1001
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: in what the Cowboys should do against the Ravens on Sunday.

1002
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: We'll do that tomorrow, all right. For all the callers,

1003
