00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is Mediamash, a

3
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: roundtable of Cowboys insiders, dropping wisdom and offering sizzling takes

4
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: on the current state of your Dallas Cowboys. Now your host,

5
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: Steve Dennis. The name of the show is Mediamash, and

6
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: it's back. We're back after a little respite for a

7
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: lot of reasons, but we're happy to be back. And

8
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna make sure everybody remembers everybody. Jane Slater right

9
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: here from the NFL Network, Nick Eatman from Dallas Cowboys

10
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: dot Com and everything else Cowboys related. And from the

11
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: four World Star Telegram. There's Chill Bros. Clarence E. Hill Junior.

12
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: All right, guys, here's the deal. Three games in two

13
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: old days, more injuries, a COVID outbreak, less continuity on

14
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: the offensive line, no run game, less than MVP play

15
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: from DAK, yellow flags flying everywhere, two losses, one sloppy win.

16
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: It all happened so fast. It was a rocky, rocky stretch.

17
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: But the smoke is cleared. Some time off, some rest

18
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. Here they are here, we are so

19
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: I thought we would spend the first Get Back Together

20
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: segment here on mediamash, just taking an inventory on exactly

21
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: where they are here with five games less left to go.

22
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: Big picture, let's do a big picture, okay, I mean,

23
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: for a minute there they were seven and two the

24
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: rebound win over Atlanta. The bandwagon was full. They had

25
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: about a forty five percent chance to win the buy

26
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: if you listen to Vegas top team in the NFC

27
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: DAC is the MVP one and two cents four percent

28
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: chance Now to get the buy, Dak virtually out of

29
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: the MVP race. The bandwagon is empty. So let's explore

30
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: five games to go? Where do you think they are? Slater?

31
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: You know I'm always later, Sunshine, But I gotta tell

32
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: you against that Saints team inside the Dome is tough,

33
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: right because I cover the Saints as well. But they

34
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: didn't have their two starting defensive ends, they didn't have

35
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: their two starting tackles, they didn't have Alvin Kamara, and

36
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: they were playing a quarterback in Taysom Hill who had

37
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: not started this season and was playing on a footthead

38
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: planner fasciitis, and they were managing his paint all week,

39
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: so much so that even Sean Payton was concerned about

40
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: his team the fact that the Cowboys let this one.

41
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: They left the door open heading into the half. Now, granted,

42
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: they came back in the second half and turned it up,

43
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: but that concerned me because they had a lot of

44
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: the pieces the puzzle. I mean, sure, they don't have

45
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: Neville Gallimore, they didn't have Randy Gregory, and they obviously

46
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: didn't have their head coach on the sidelines, But in

47
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: terms of offense, they should have blown this one out

48
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: a little bit. So I guess what I'm saying here

49
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: is I'm looking at a Washington team that has held

50
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Bucks two hundred and seventy three yards in

51
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: defense and picked him off twice. They beat the Panthers,

52
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: beat Seattle, and then they went and beat Vegas. It

53
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: just makes me concerned for this team. I don't want

54
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: to say worried, concerned that you've got two divisional games

55
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: in the month of December, and I just I'm not

56
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: as confident as I was about them. Clarence, did you

57
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: hear that you hear that Slater Jane is going to

58
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: the dark side. I don't know if it's dark side,

59
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: but with that being said, and I cushioned that by saying,

60
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: you've also got the Rams who've lost what three straight,

61
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: and they've got start. I mean they're built like you know,

62
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: one of Lebron's teams. I look at the Packers, I

63
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: looked at Tampa here lately. So I mean it's it's

64
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: hard to say, but I would just I'm going to

65
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: be interesting to see what they do against Washington. All right, Nick,

66
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: you next size up where again, big picture size up?

67
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: Where you think this team sits right now? Well, it's

68
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: a little restpit period. Yeah, I mean obviously this is

69
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: as healthy as they've they've been. So, I mean the

70
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: arrow you would think is pointing up. Um. I you know,

71
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: I didn't agree with with that, you know, the line

72
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: of thinking um that Jane said, because and it happened

73
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: a lot right after Twitter. I mean, I mean right

74
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: after the game. Blood on Twitter was just like you

75
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: know what, like what's going on as ugly Way and

76
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: ugly Wind? And I was like, well, I don't we

77
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: have different definitions of ugly because I just I look

78
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: at it like everything that you know that they had

79
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: dealt with, like you named everything that the Saints had

80
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: dealt with, but everything the Cowboys had dealt with. I mean,

81
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: if practice, if a head coach being at the game

82
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: didn't matter, and practice didn't matter, then they wouldn't do it.

83
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: And so I just think all of the crap that

84
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: they had to deal with and the right room closed

85
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: and the old line to go there and just get

86
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: that win at that place, I thought it was. It

87
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: was a good win. They had to have it. They

88
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: were just as desperate as the Saints, and they figured

89
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: out a way to win. And I think the ugly

90
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: victories are in the end the division, it's just going

91
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: to continue to happen. I mean, there's no more pretty victories.

92
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: I don't think anymore quick But what happens if they

93
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: play a really good team at this point, like who Arizona,

94
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: will well beat them? Beat them, I mean, or you

95
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: have to beat them. But I mean, I guess my

96
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: thing is this, and and so we will play Arizona,

97
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: by the way, right, My thing is this, and and

98
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: we've all done this. This is not about the division.

99
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: I mean, we can make it what you want. I mean,

100
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys had not been Super Bowl since nineteen ninety five.

101
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: The optimism earlier in the season, there was open talk

102
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: about super Bowl by who Sure the fair there was

103
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: fair enough. I'm just saying my point is this, yeah,

104
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: I mean or thinking it? Well cool, Michael Parsons talking

105
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: about it. I mean, the open talked that this was

106
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: a special season. We've talked about the Jay and talked

107
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: about this. It has a chance to be. But the

108
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: way they're playing, Yes, they got to win it. They

109
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: had to get the win. Okay, they had to get

110
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: to win. So getting to win was most important. But

111
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: you cannot feel good about the way they're playing in

112
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: terms of the overall goal. All right, all right, they're

113
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: still not right. I like that to your comment. I

114
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: actually put on Twitter moments before in the New Orleans game.

115
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: Not that it matters, but it was an opinion I

116
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: had at the time that if this team doesn't dominate,

117
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: this poor representation of the Saints like Buffalo did two

118
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: weeks earlier, super Bowl talk needs to be out the

119
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: window for a minute. And I agree with you though

120
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: it was, but that's all that mattered. They did not

121
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: it was a good win. I agree with you. I'm

122
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: not against. Yeah, they had to have it. I think

123
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: they got it mainly because as her guy, Taysom Hill

124
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: is awful. He sucksful throwing. He didn't have anybody any weapons,

125
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: anybody get the ball well, and they have nobody get

126
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: to bother them? And when is that going to their offensive?

127
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: I think they're two starting tackles. He is not a

128
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: big league quarterback. I don't care what anybody says. He

129
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: would be a nice little hybrid of some sort. But

130
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: Peyton really never getting quarterback money. Okay, never getting quarter

131
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: not a starter. He's not a backup either. But but

132
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: but anyway, let's let's do it this way really quick,

133
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: because I like everybody's point of view. Let's try this.

134
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: That's a lot of them, I think. I think with

135
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: five games ago, four against the division, with a little rest,

136
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: with a little bit of a cavalry coming. Uh, there

137
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: are two points of view, and I've heard both of

138
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: them strongly from everybody I've talked to for a week.

139
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: One of them is they're gonna regain their footing. It's

140
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: a great opportunity Washington, New York Washington again. Uh, you know,

141
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: get the get control of the division. But it is

142
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: a little gulp right now, two up with two against

143
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: Washington in the next fourteen days. They lose both of

144
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: those it's a part in Philly. Yeah, but and then

145
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: that's one narrative. And if I were guessing, I would

146
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: think about sixty five percent of Cowboys fans have that

147
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: point of view. They will get their footing back, Dak

148
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: will be fine, and they'll dominate again. The other thirty

149
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: five percent are thinking, here we go again. They teased us,

150
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: They acted like they were gonna be something, and they're

151
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: middling around and they're not anything. Because this thing should

152
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: be over if they beat Denver and they beat the Raiders.

153
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: I don't care what you said. The Raiders four or

154
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: five games, they got four losses on the win was

155
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. They lost. Everybody gets school, look at

156
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: their lost. Everybody else up the Cowboys the rest to

157
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: Washington right. No reason they should have, you know, should

158
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: be they should have messed around with their game and

159
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: the game should not have been where it was. And

160
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: there are a lot of reasons why, Mark Cooper, Dak

161
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: all the other stuff. We can go all defense all

162
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: of that, but the bottom line is the Cowboys messed

163
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: around and let this thing become close. And the idea

164
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: there are a lot of Cowboy fans who were just

165
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: all my older they're gonna play. Why they be fine.

166
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna get back to rolling again. Got everybody back,

167
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,479
Speaker 1: do they? And when we haven't even talked about today

168
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: all the talk about Zeke being hurt. You know Tony

169
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: Pollards hurt. Now he hasn't put into Zeke Elliott practice

170
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: of day Tony didn't. It doesn't matter. They haven't been

171
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: running the ball that much lately. No, they have been

172
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,599
Speaker 1: running about that well lately. They've tried. They want to

173
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: run the ball. They haven't running about that well lately.

174
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: And as bad as they've been, they will be worse

175
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: without Tony Pollard. Was an injured Tony Pollard. They need

176
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: to be able to run the ball and make this

177
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: offense go. So the idea that now the receivers are

178
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: back and that's gonna start hitting on all cylinders, that

179
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: always ready gets Washington with an injured Zeke and and

180
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: injured I don't know that that's what happened, But the

181
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: good news is with Washington, Logan Thomas is likely not

182
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: playing in Montes. What is in what COVID protocol? So

183
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: there's little boy, yeah, but he hadn't played any when

184
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: they won. We had Montes with but I'm just saying

185
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: that from a Cowboys point of view, that the Cowboys

186
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: getting back on a role and turning the button on

187
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: because everybody's back, it just doesn't work like But I

188
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: will say that with them right now, I think is

189
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: where I'm coming from. That is the Cowboys beat writer's

190
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: point of view, because if you look across the league,

191
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: everybody's got injuries. I mean Green Bay's winning without Aaron Jones.

192
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: That everybody has injuries this year, in particular with the

193
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: COVID issue. That it is crazy. The Chargers just lost

194
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen and Mike Williams at the same time, and

195
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: some teams are mannygen it just fine, like the Cowboys.

196
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: Don't forget the Cowboys are fighting. No'm not not talking

197
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: about the first sixth game. I mean like like they've

198
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: been dealing with it too. That's right, and they're rating

199
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 1: for But my point was against the Saints, they were

200
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: fairly healthy guys and maybe this is how many plays right.

201
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: But we've talked about this in the past. Sometimes there

202
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: has been an issue with Dak and the receivers in

203
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: terms of timing. They actually have proven to us and

204
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: said to us they need time together. And they haven't

205
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: had a lot of time together as a unit with

206
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: Dak So maybe this is simply they need to get

207
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: their reps in and maybe there is a little bit

208
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: of russ there. I think what just concerned me is

209
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: you had a team that was significantly handicapped, whereas you

210
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: were able to get back a lot of your players

211
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: added that game, and it just didn't feel like a

212
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: dominant win. And I hear what you're saying. I mean,

213
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: all of Washington's wins right now have been ugly and

214
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: no one cares how you win, but the different care

215
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: about the win. But the expectation of Washington was different

216
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: than Dallas. Wasn't seven seven and two Washing was just

217
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: compling just to be back in Raith. The Cowboys were

218
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: quote unquote competing for home phil adventags throughout the playoffs.

219
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: One of these teams that were on the threshold of

220
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: being a legitimate Super Bowl contended it wasn't just a

221
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: scuffling let me and look, but to your point, so

222
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: were the Rams. I mean, what's topping of the Rams? Yeah,

223
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: but we don't care about the RAM we're talking about

224
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: there about look at the NFC standing now, you'll make comparison,

225
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:12,599
Speaker 1: but it's not about it or get a round the

226
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: struggle two. That doesn't make Cowboy fans feel better. All right,

227
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get my point of view that I want

228
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: all of yours with these two narratives, and I'll surprise

229
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: you. You You think I'm mister negative and you're turning all dark.

230
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: I think I'm kind of with right now. It was

231
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: a win they had to get. Let me tell you,

232
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: they lose that game in New Orleans. If Taysom Hill

233
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: is an awful guys and they don't get four turnovers,

234
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: you know, and the decent and then they don't get

235
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: four turnovers, they still might lose that game. That's the

236
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: sad part. And that's the thing I struggled with, is

237
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: because the office was so bad in the second hand

238
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: outside of that one run. Yeah, you know something, if

239
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: they don't get if Taysom Hill is not so bad

240
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: and the defense gets four turnovers and Carlin's Wackett doesn't

241
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: return on that game is still in the balance that game,

242
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: don't forget the offense goes three and out in their

243
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: only business in and overtime against Vegas on Thanksgiving. Yeah,

244
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: so the offense all of a sudden doesn't want to

245
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: help so here right, So the notion that they can

246
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: just turn it on and they can be back to

247
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: what they were, I don't know it, especially with the

248
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: running game not all right producing Well, I was giving

249
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: my opinion, you can give yours and one more thing.

250
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: One more thing. I'm sorry. The other issue that came

251
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: up in the Denver game that we say it wasn't

252
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: a blueprint. The receivers are not getting separation. That is

253
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: that is the biggest issue with the passer. Jerry says,

254
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: they're not running the rent. Well, I've Jerry talked about

255
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: Jerry brought up through the money the buzz, But the

256
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: receivers are not getting separation. That's where teams are playing

257
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: more bumpet run. They're not getting separation. That's what offense

258
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: is struggle. All right. Here's the way I've answered it

259
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: than anybody who's asked me in the last week. And

260
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: I firmly believe this. I'd never say anything. I don't

261
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: believe that's a that's a curse, uh most of the time.

262
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: But I think they're fine. I think they're fine. I

263
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: think they will get their footing back. I think they're

264
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: a better team than Washington. We'll get into that later

265
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: in the show. The gold factor with the Redskins, Redskins,

266
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: the Washington that finally may have a football team that

267
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,599
Speaker 1: they're doing some nice things and it deserves a little attention.

268
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: But I think they're fine. I think this team, with

269
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: Dak as their quarterback. You were talking about the expectations, Chill,

270
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: they did go through the roof. Everybody's calling them a

271
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: front runner. They're they're more comfortable not being that. They're

272
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: more comfortable being the underdog that everybody's counting out. And Dak, oh,

273
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: everybody's off the bandwagon. I heard Dak say that somewhere

274
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks. I think they're gonna

275
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: be fine. I think it's gonna fine. I think they're

276
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: gonna re establish themselves as a dominant team in the

277
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: division and the conference, and I think they're gonna go

278
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: into the playoffs with a little head of steam and

279
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: then it's just a matter of what they do there.

280
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: Who do you trust more as a coach? What Nick Clarence.

281
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: I just don't get what Clarence. I don't it, Like,

282
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: what are you scoffing about? Like I'm just saying what

283
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: is fine. I'm just saying what is fine is fine.

284
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: My man is winning the game in the playoffs, in

285
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs, right, so what right? So so what I'm

286
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: saying is, and you've been around here a long time.

287
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: I've been runding a long time. So so to say

288
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: that they're gonna be fine went in division and and

289
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: and surviving Washington is not fine. Well, we're the saying

290
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: take a point of view. Take a point of view.

291
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: That's my point of viewing this. What that is? Me

292
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: ask you this, if they beat Washington twenty four to

293
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: twenty and then beat the Giants on the road thirty

294
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: one to ten, and then I'm gonna stand there in

295
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: the meadowlands and I'm gonna say they're about to kick

296
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers ass, don't you think. And you're gonna be like, well,

297
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: we'll see. I'm like, no, that they've won three in

298
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: a row on the road. They're better than fine. And

299
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna say it doesn't matter until you get to

300
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So what is the point, Like, get to

301
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs? What that is the point? But my point

302
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: is that is the point. But that is the point.

303
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: But my point is this, when when what right. That

304
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: is the point that that is all December playoff games Recember,

305
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: but happened. But that's true. My point is I always

306
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: judge the Cowboys on what they do late to see

307
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: the we've I've been here a long time and I've

308
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: followed the team since I was a child, just like

309
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: you had. Yeah, okay, they don't hang division title batners

310
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: to day ten stadiums. Aren't you still a child? Really

311
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: they don't. Okay, the goal is nineteen ninety five. If

312
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: we talked about the excitement of Cowboys fans and them

313
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: openly talking about this being a special team and special season,

314
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: they said it. Mike McCarthy says it. That is the goal,

315
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: and that's what we're talking Lars. You can scuffling is

316
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: not a fine. Look. Look, look when they were thirteen

317
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: and three in twenty sixteen, didn't you think them going

318
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: into the playoffs? They were the nuts? The best teams.

319
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: Couldn't love what the best teams? It's called the nuts.

320
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: So if you if you got the best hand in poker,

321
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: you got the nuts. But but that's called to listen

322
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: to me, they're if goes week to week, it is

323
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: don't jump to the playoff game. What is your point

324
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 1: of view right now? My point of view and when

325
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 1: there was six and one and seven and two, was

326
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: this this had the chance been special season, just like

327
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: there was my point of view right now, I don't know.

328
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: I don't have any confidence saying and this being a

329
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: special season came. That's my point, Okay, from week to

330
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: week this week, I'm not confident and this being a

331
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: season that's going end up any differently than the last,

332
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: and oddly I am confident, Jane. I would just say

333
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: it's hard to say if they're if they're going to

334
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: be a really special team, if they do find themselves

335
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: going deep in the playoffs, given to your point all

336
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: the adversity that they've had this year, Because while I

337
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: was listening to Sean Payton Boo who about his team

338
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: and the injuries, I literally said to him, Sean, look

339
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: at what they had to play with last year, and

340
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: look at what they've played with this year. I mean,

341
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: they lost their quarterback for a game, they lost their

342
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver for two games, They've had offensive line wases,

343
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: they haven't had their defensive line in tech, and I mean,

344
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: I guess you could still argue that we're still trying

345
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: to figure out the secondary. I'm sorry, what team are

346
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: you talking about? What my argument to him was is

347
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: he was belly aching about the team he was about

348
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: to roll out there. I'm like, but look what the

349
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys have accomplished, and they also, by the way, don't

350
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: have their head. How how good would would Shawn's team

351
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: be without Sean on the sidelines, And so they worse

352
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: than the Cowboys? They are I think if they can,

353
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: if they can make a run here, that's what defines

354
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: them especial because of all the adversities they've had. I

355
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: just think it's the way they're playing lately. The offense

356
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 1: isn't scoring thirty eight points on average as of late

357
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: that we're talking about the defense sort of bailing them

358
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: out of somebody. Hey, let's all pauseitive the next point

359
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: of view now, well, and that's I'll just go to

360
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: what she said right there five weeks ago, six weeks ago, Well,

361
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Micah Parsons was was a good player. I

362
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: mean he was a really good player and a great rookie.

363
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: He's great for rookie season, but he was a really

364
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 1: good player. Now like he's getting compared to Lawrence Taylor

365
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: and embarrass them, and how and how can you really

366
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: argue against it? Like it's hard to argue it, Like

367
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: forget rookie of the Year, Like who's the best defensive

368
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: player in all of football? It's a it's a legitimate argument,

369
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: even though it sounds kind of awkward to say, but

370
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: that is the case. He's gotten better in five weeks.

371
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: He'll probably get better in the next five weeks. This

372
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: is a team, especially with Gregory Now and d Law

373
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,479
Speaker 1: that's a scary front. Like, I think this is becoming

374
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: a defensive team well, and I think Mike McCarthy at

375
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: the nail on the head when he said December he

376
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: gets excited about because it's going to be all about

377
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: complimentary football. If they can finally put all phases of

378
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: the game together, I think this team can't be especially

379
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: I think they've got the mindset. I think they've got

380
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: the moxie, and I think they've got the talent. They

381
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: still have all that, they just haven't put it together.

382
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: And so if you ask me right now, because I

383
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: haven't seen them put it all together, I'm ambiguous about

384
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: the team because I don't know what to make of them.

385
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 1: And I'm sure that that media writers, I mean Tampa

386
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: Baby writers last year felt the same way about that

387
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: team when they hit a funk and it happens, you

388
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: go through this. The Cowboys have been fighting through sort

389
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: of an injury induced loss of confidence. COVID hit funk

390
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: and act and the fun part of that is here

391
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: we sit right now wondering which way it'll go and

392
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: and well, you know the old to tell the true show.

393
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: Will the real Dallas Cowboys please stand up? What are

394
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: the real Dallas Cowboys? You know what? They would squirm

395
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: in their chair and they fake like they were gonna

396
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: stand up, And I don't know. I thought that was

397
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: a slim way too young, but but but but I

398
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: guess I think And it goes back to what you

399
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: said earlier about of here we go again, because there's

400
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: a lot of cowboy fans that's out there help PTSD. Absolutely,

401
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: they've seen this, They've been excited and seen the rogue

402
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: pulled out from under them many times before, and that's

403
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: how they feel right now it's gonna happen again. That's

404
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: what they feel, right I'm not saying that that's what's

405
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: that's out there, and that's m sure it is. So

406
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: when we compare to other teams one of the fun Yeah,

407
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: other teams having problems. Jetti Ram's got problems. But we're

408

00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: So with that spirit in mind, I'm gonna throw a

458
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: little quiz at you, a little little final at you.

459
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: It's multiple choice, so it's real easy. I got the

460
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: choices for you. Here's the question. What has to happen

461
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: first and foremost for the Cowboys bandwagon to fill back

462
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: up going into the postseason these final five games, Multiple

463
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: choice five answers. Number one, run the football better. Number

464
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: two solid continuity on the offensive line. Number three defense

465
00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 1: getting reinforcements to take it to a higher level. Number

466
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: four Dak needs to play better. Number five with respect

467
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: to Jerry, the wide receivers need to run better routes.

468
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: Now I'm kidding, or Amari CD Gallop need to be

469
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: fabulous healthy as a trio. Those five. If you need

470
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: me to repeat it, I will. I don't you go first.

471
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: I'm confused because I'm sorry. I know it's supposed to

472
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 1: be one and two go hand in hand and four

473
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: to five go hands. Just pick one, but they go

474
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: hand in hand. I don't care pick and give that

475
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: point I had to pick one, I would you have

476
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: to pick Dak playing better. That mean the receivers are

477
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: gonna play better. So that's four and five together to me.

478
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but they need this necessarily. They could play

479
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: off the moon and that could miss it. But I

480
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: think that one reason why Dad hasn't played was because

481
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: the receivers aren't playing off the moon. They are not

482
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: getting a separation. If they get some cohesiveness between the

483
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: quarterback and the receiving corps, I think that'll make people

484
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: feel better about them, because I don't see the running game.

485
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: I don't see Zeke getting better. All right? Can I

486
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: interject real quick, Clarence, because all five of them need

487
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: to work hand in hand for it to happen. I'm sorry,

488
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: I gave my answer. He's a critical thinker. I mean,

489
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: it's not what you can't talk about the office line

490
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: or running game without the office line because the office

491
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: line has been just a big of the problem with

492
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: the Running game and vice versa. I'm sorry, I think

493
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: it all right, Nick, Nick, you got one or yeah, yeah,

494
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: number two offensive line? What was it? Offensive line? The

495
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: continuity and the offensive and you get that if you

496
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: get solid continuity on the offensive line, um, and and

497
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: they're you know, well, can they also play play well too?

498
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: I mean like, I mean, yeah, well, you have the

499
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: same five guys all year and they all saw that.

500
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: And that's what McCarthy said today when people questioned him

501
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 1: about his like, I thought, you big continuity game again,

502
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: you keep moving these guys and out, he said, you

503
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: gotta play well too. Yeah. Kids kind of amend to

504
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: that before about the continuity fantasy, well, asking I'm kind

505
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: of assuming in the choice Okay, that solid continuity means

506
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: that we'll play better together if they play better, then

507
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: goes back to one. They'll run better, which goes to four.

508
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: Dack will throw better, which means they play and all

509
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: that and the defense doesn't need to play better for me. Yeah,

510
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: I think they're good to me. I'm confident. I'm that's

511
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: the crazy part about this. I feel better about the defense. Now.

512
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: Now you're taking another choice. No, you say, you say

513
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: we comment one, Yeah, fix that line, all right, I

514
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: want to make comment on yours. I thought we weren't

515
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: doing no if no, we're reacting to each solid continuity

516
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: with the offensive line. Jerry's comment this week goes against that.

517
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be Steel? Is it gonna be Collins?

518
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be both? It's gonna be what's it

519
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: gonna be? Lio Collins at right tackle? And what what's

520
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: up with steel? Steel's gonna play the sixth office line.

521
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna be like, he's gonna be the

522
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: tighty end. He's gonna be the tighty and heavy set, Like,

523
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 1: what are you doing? You're like any other place if

524
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:02,719
Speaker 1: you did it. But it's very normal if you run

525
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: over there and you do that to the official the many.

526
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: But back to your point, I think that the offensive

527
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: line is important because I think Dak does not trust

528
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: the offensive line. That's part of his decision making and

529
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: throwing the ball as well. And of course we know

530
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: that's part of why the running game hasn't been as

531
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: well as kind of disagreeing. There one play in that

532
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: Saints game. I thought it was one of the key

533
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: plays the game. After Parsons sack, they pinned him down

534
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: down town. They picked him down like the four yard line,

535
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: so it's like early fourth Dak stood in the end zone.

536
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: I thought a little bit longer than he should. He

537
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: kind of waited. He waited, he waited, slid through it,

538
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 1: pass through a CD that got him out of their

539
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: breathing room. I thought that was a key play, and

540
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: I thought Dak I even said there, I was like,

541
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: man like, I don't think I would have stood in

542
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: there that long. Yeah, that's just one play, right, I

543
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: think most of the game, though he was little, he

544
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: was a little ants and not trusting and and it's

545
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: certain if you watched Kirk Warner watched breakdown all right, ja,

546
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: I feel like I likes my multiple choice quiz But

547
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: if you're turning to give an answer, a good ANSWER's

548
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: not gonna be above what, Well, then know that she

549
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: doesn't you're worse than chill. Well, I'm just gonna go

550
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: with I think ultimately, we've seen the coaches. If the

551
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: coaches aren't performing at their best, it can affect the team.

552
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: We saw that last year. You could argue it was talent.

553
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: You could also argue it was coaching. So I think

554
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna need the coaches to be on their a game.

555
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: And for Kellen Moore, that is calling Moore run plays,

556
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: not up the middle, run plays. I hope not, because

557
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: that that dive up the middleitiest playbook. Well, we're gonna

558
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna break into a discussion on first down and

559
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: second down? Run got the playbook? All right? Maybe some

560
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: outside is run. You can't just take it out of

561
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: the playbook, all right. My answer is my answer is

562
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: the same as Clarence Dak needs to play better. I've

563
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: been telling everybody, Hey, stay, what do you think Dak

564
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: needs to play better? I say that from the point

565
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: of view, the reason I'm positive about this team going

566
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: forward is all about number four. And I think it's

567
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: an insult quite frankly to Dak that everybody says they

568
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: need to run the football more. That is absolute bs.

569
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: Nobody says that about the Chiefs when Mahomes struggles, they

570
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: need to run edwards a layer more. Nobody says that.

571
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: Nobody says it about Buffalo when they're struggling. Nobody says,

572
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: man that, Josh Allen, they need to run the ball more.

573
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: Dak is one of the magic quarterbacks in this league. Now,

574
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: you obviously need to run it to compliment what you're doing.

575
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: But if you think it's a better idea to take

576
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: the ball out of Dak's hands and run one hundred

577
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: and eighty yards a game, well you're not gonna get that.

578
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: But or try to do that, I think you're wrong.

579
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: This thing is all about Dak, and people would be

580
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: surprised because I was looking over all the first downs,

581
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: play calls in all of their three and outs in

582
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: the last three games, more passes than runs. But they're

583
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: about even. Everybody assumes they're just running and not getting anything.

584
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: My problem with the second and ten runs, well, they

585
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: all well you know what they well, you know what

586
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: Kevin did and second and ten he's running the ball.

587
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: If he's thrown it on first down, he's running it

588
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: on second. If he's running it on first, he's throwing

589
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: it on second. And there were positive games there. There

590
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: were five yard runs, eight yard run, four yard anyway.

591
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: But here's the thing about Dak, and you can you

592
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: can hide this. You just can't. Dak in his first

593
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: eight games had a six and two record. Now his

594
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: record because he's the quarterback with the head coach. As

595
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: Parcels always taught us, those are the only two of

596
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: the get the record on their name. He's one in two.

597
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,959
Speaker 1: He's had three touchdowns and three interceptions in three games.

598
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: He had twenty and five in the eight games that

599
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: he played previous. His completion percentage in these three games

600
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: sixty one percent, seventy three in the eight games previous,

601
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety three yards asking him per game

602
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: the first date, he's down to two seventy five. Uh,

603
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: Dak is simply not playing well. Hold on, Steve, do

604
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: you realize how hypocritical you sound? What I'm serious? You

605
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: just said he doesn't need to They don't need to

606
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: run the ball, They don't need to take the ball

607
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: out of his hands. You named all of these stats

608
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: about the first eight games and the last three and

609
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: you're not mentioning that Zeke Elliott hasn't run for more

610
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: than like forty yards the last three games, but he was.

611
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: They were running for one hundred and fifty almost two

612
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: hundred yards a game, and Dak was thrown for four hundred. Right,

613
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: But they go hand in hand and what they're saying

614
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: like they were a balanced team running the football the team.

615
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: I don't think you need a balanced offense. You need

616
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: to run it solidly as a complimentary When you've got

617
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: a quarterback like Dak and Mahomes, nobody cares what the

618
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: chiefs are. Nobody cares different. Would you stop comparing Patrick

619
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: Mahonmes to Dames, comparing when the most elite players at

620
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: the position they Aaron Rodgers, nobody cares. Dylan comes in

621
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: for Aaron Jones, Nobody cares. They're running the football. No,

622
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: But it's about the elite stature of the quarterbacks, and

623
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: I think Dak is one of them. I don't nobody

624
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: cares if Chase Edmonds when he's healthy, is running the

625
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: ball up for the Cardinals. They care about what Kyler

626
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: Murray's doing, and everybody should care with this team, what

627
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: Dack's doing. If Zeke is gonna help, great, If Paula's

628
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: gonna help, great, But they're gonna go somewhere because of

629
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: number four. I disagree. The best head coach that we've

630
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: ever seen in the NFL, just about six weeks ago,

631
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: just told you we're gonna we're not gonna let Zekiel

632
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: Elliott beat us. We're gonna make Dak have to do this.

633
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: That's right, and Dak needs to play better. He needs

634
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,959
Speaker 1: to answer, and he did. He did when they were

635
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: going six and two, no matter what the like, he

636
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: beat them that game like, he beat them like eventually

637
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: they one, so like that proved him wrong because you

638
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: can't stop everything. But I just think it's weird to

639
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: just say Dac needs to play better. But the running

640
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: game was what was carrying this. I think was was

641
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: carrying the whole offense in the first That's funny. Nobody

642
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: was talking about Zeke being the MVP Nick. They were

643
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 1: talking about Dak being the the whole world Me. I'm sorry,

644
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: not me. I never thought da would win MVP. And Dak,

645
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: by the way, was ridiculously accurate. He was throwing for

646
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: four hundred yards a game. He had a seventy three

647
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: percent completion percent it. So, what's changed He's missing receivers,

648
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: what's changed that the running back hobbling around with a

649
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: bad knee. I mean two weeks ago against Vegas Heed

650
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: he missed gallop wide open in the end zone. I

651
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: want to play like y'all, I'm just let y'all go

652
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: because I'm just I'm sing out Stevens. At this point.

653
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 1: You can't talk to him, talk to him with him.

654
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: So Nick and I had a nice little argument. Your

655
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: turn to chime in. Yeah, he can't bring something I've

656
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: always said from the beginning. It goes hand in hand

657
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,240
Speaker 1: like when I when I was doing your multiple choice.

658
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: You just can't pick one, Okay, you can't. That's just

659
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: not realistic. Yes, Dak needs to play better. He would

660
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 1: played better if the offensive line was better. If the

661
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: running game could run. You know, they have everything three

662
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: point three yards to carry over the last three weeks

663
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: or something like that. If the receivers could get separation,

664
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: If your best receivers are on the field, if Noah

665
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 1: Brown wouldn't dropping passes, what are you counting on your Again,

666
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: as I said, gimb Coach was right, there is a

667
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: blueprint with this offense. If you covered up the receivers,

668
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: they don't get separations. That takes some continuity. They don't

669
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: have any continuity on off You watch these drives because

670
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: there was no rhythm. There's no flow on offense because

671
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: the receivers are not getting separation and not getting open.

672
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: That affects Dak. You do talk about Dak's game, how

673
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: bad he's being. CD lab admitted today that fourth and

674
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 1: two that was his fault. He that was his miscommunication.

675
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: That's what blew that up. That game would have been

676
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,919
Speaker 1: totally different because the stays if they get that fourth

677
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: and two. Yeah, you always have one play that would

678
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: have changed the whole game. A game we're not talking

679
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: about rhythm and flow. That's part of it. Okay, is

680
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: it on the floor. They're like, I can see my

681
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: minutes to Clarence Hill. I mean, that's why that's why

682
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: I set out. Okay, can I go or do I

683
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: want to hear from you? But but you're missing my

684
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: overall point. But okay, explain all that stuff is important

685
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: to every team. But I'm comparing the top quarterbacks in

686
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: the league. Nobody's discussing Pringle dropping a ball in Kansas City.

687
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: They're saying Mahomes needs to play better, and he is,

688
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: and now they're winning the same thing with Aaron Rodgers,

689
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: the elite quarterbacks. Kyler Murray needs to get healthy. They've

690
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: got no shot. Team goes as Dad goes, absolutely, and

691
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: people need to understand that if this thing is gonna

692
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: win anything, it'll be because of Dak's play. He never

693
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 1: been Superman. Okay, superman, he's not Superman. Okay, he's in

694
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 1: the fishing quarter. But if they win the super Bowl,

695
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: he will be Superman. I just think I think given

696
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: what we we had a lot of question marks heading

697
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: into the season, and I think given what Dak has done,

698
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: even the way he wills them. In that overtime against

699
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 1: the Raiders, you saw him coming out there and fire

700
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 1: at all. That was a drop ball, wasn't it. It's

701
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: first drop ball? Uh final drive before they went into overtime,

702
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: he fired that one off. That was his first drop

703
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: ball and regulation in the fourth quarter. I think that

704
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: was the one a lot of people thought was going

705
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: to be PI over the middle of the Schultz since

706
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: since they flew they threw that flag a couple of

707
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: times in the game. Is that what we're talking about

708
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: the well, but I don't know. I'm sorry. Your point well,

709
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: My point on this is I feel like Dak has

710
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: literally played as well as he can given the lack

711
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: of constituting on the offensive line, given the lack of

712
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 1: weapons on offense that have been healthy or consistent, you

713
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 1: can only expect him to do so much. Everybody else

714
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: around him has got to play better. So if we're

715
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: gonna just say Dak's got to play better, I agree.

716
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: But Dad can play better when the rest of the

717
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: team plays better. And I ventured this and you keep

718
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: bringing my homes up. The homes is not playing ring

719
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: all the hot horrors. I'm just saying the Grids winning,

720
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: but my homes quarterback rating in their winning is fifty

721
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: seven point three, no touchdowns interception. Maybe is just that

722
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: good that defense has improved. Gives Dallas's quarterback rating with

723
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: seventy one one of deception, no touchdown. He didn't play

724
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: great that game either. I'm just saying that that it

725
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: all goes together. I just love it. It all goes

726
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: together in Buffalo too. Singletary doesn't run the ball for

727
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: s and either Zach Buffalo Doday. It's all on Josh Allen,

728
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: is it yes, yeah, and it's all Ondac whether you

729
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: want to admit his one hundred and sixty million dollars

730
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: deal makes it now when I know you guys feel

731
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: like family. This is what Christmas feels like. Like, this's

732
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: the way any Cowboys conversation should be. Go ahead. I

733
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: don't think um and and I say this like I loved.

734
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: I think that is awesome in so many ways. I

735
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: don't think he's those three guys you keep throwing in there. Oh,

736
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: don't think he is. And there he's gonna bring the

737
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: money now, well, yeah, but you're the last person to

738
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: bring up money because you hate contracts and you you

739
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 1: hate talking about that. Why don't you know the conversation?

740
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: I think you got to make the right decisions with

741
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 1: those I think there's I think there's three or four

742
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: players that can just will their team to victory and

743
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: without a lot of great help. And I don't think

744
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: he's one of them. You don't want to what about

745
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray? Is he? I don't think we've seen it

746
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: just yet. He hasn't. He hasn't ever won a playoff game,

747
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: and nothing really matters until you do that. So you're

748
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 1: gonna say Brady, You're gonna say Rogers, You're gonna say Mahomes. Yeah,

749
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 1: I mean, like that's it, Like I don't put him

750
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 1: in that level and that and what's wrong with that?

751
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong all of them super Bowl So it

752
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: is a little bit comparisons. Okay, there's only four right

753
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: now that I mean, I'm not Cotton big Ben, but

754
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: there's really four guys that are playing right now. And

755
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: when Russell was cooking, really I mean like he was

756
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: doing it without a lot of great play. He's won

757
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: a super Bowl too, but there's just not that many.

758
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 1: And it's okay, that's okay that you need a great

759
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: running game, you need receivers, that's okay. Well did this

760
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: team Most teams would have broke when your franchise quarterback

761
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: goes out his rookie season and as a rookie to

762
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: do what he did. I mean he got Jason Garrett

763
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year and then just him not well,

764
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: I'm saying he had a lot to do it. You

765
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 1: think he was better than that. Then back then, Zeke

766
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: would have been My offensive line had a lot to

767
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: do with it. Facts have changed. They needed help, like

768
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 1: he doesn't need as much help as he used to.

769
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,479
Speaker 1: But I would argue that even this year, we're seeing

770
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: how important he is this team, not only just from

771
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: his play but the leadership perspective. So it's easy the same.

772
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 1: Then I watched the Minnesota game, So okay, let me

773
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: ask you this question. If Aaron Rodgers was here, what

774
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: would the record for the Cowboys be given some of

775
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: the challenges they've had entry wise? Man, that's hard to know.

776
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: That's fun to guess, though, tendant to it's fun to

777
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: get tenant, probably tendant to see. Okay, here's why let's

778
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 1: let's let's talk about something else. Yeah, better toe, but

779
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: let's talk about this though. For Dak, I don't know

780
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: if you've mentioned this yet or if it's on the

781
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: rundown or whatever, but like, there's a reason why I

782
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: don't think he's playing is good. He's never going to

783
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: win your passing competition with his arm. That's not his thing.

784
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,240
Speaker 1: He could throw, but that's he's the touch. The accuracy

785
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: that's not as strong as not a strong suit. Now

786
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 1: I was, I was on that train a year and

787
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: a half ago, and he's gotten me off. He can

788
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: throw the ball, there's no doubt it, but he misses

789
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: more throws than some of the better ones. That's not

790
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: what Dak does. Dak's game is running, throwing, being elusive

791
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: and all that. I think he's afraid to run. Well,

792
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 1: he's not running. I think he's been smarter about it.

793
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: I think he's been told to be smarter about it.

794
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: I think he's being more judicious. I don't think people,

795
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 1: but I think most quarterbacks do that as they get older. Though.

796
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: What I'm trying to say, and I completely respect, but

797
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: all of you if you disagree, if you disagree, you know,

798
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: But I just think it's time to look at the

799
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: overall thing in Dallas and understand how they're gonna do

800
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: what everybody hopes they can do, and that is go

801
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: win two three playoff games and make a championship game.

802
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: And what I'm the contention I'm making is they're no

803
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 1: different than the other top teams that are going to

804
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: try to do it. That's the Rams with Stafford, the

805
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay with Brady, Buffalo with Josh Allen, Arizona with

806
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, Kansas City. He's got my homes, Green Bay's

807
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: got Rogers. Dak is the answer and he needs to

808
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: play better, there's no doubt, but only one can win it.

809
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: So if only one wins and then everybody else didn't

810
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: live up, that true. But if you're a true contender

811
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: and and by the way, everybody had Dak is the

812
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: second favorite to win the MVP three weeks ago. Yeah,

813
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: but that's why it's a long season. But what I'm

814
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: saying is this, Steve, and I globally I agree with you.

815
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: If the Cowboys are going to win, Dak needs to

816
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 1: play better and needs to be played well. He's gonna

817
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: be a big part of that. But I'm saying for

818
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: Dad to play better than play well, these other things

819
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: also need to happen. But what I thought him saying, no, no,

820
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: wait a minute, wait minute, let me let me put

821
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: it this way. This team Dak now has to be

822
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: a given like Aaron Rodgers is. You can't go a

823
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 1: week to week and watch him and go no, I agree,

824
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: what is he doing? I don't think I agree. He's

825
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: got to be a given. I go back to the

826
00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: Vegas game, thirty three points the fourth quarter. Dak played

827
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,399
Speaker 1: well enough to win that game. They gave up thirty

828
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: six and they had too many penalties. But in the

829
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. I'm in overtime. You gotta make that. Remember,

830
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: got to make that play. Remember they're both yards, they're

831
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 1: just yards. When this team was rolling with Dak throwing

832
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: the ball for four hundred yards, they need to go

833
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 1: back to that. I don't want him to go We

834
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 1: gotta run it. We gotta run it. We gotta give

835
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: the ball to Sea to let Dak win games. The

836
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: thing is what they're when they're saying that is because

837
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: how teams are playing them, and they're playing them, you

838
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: have to be successful to do what they're taking one

839
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: thing away, Yeah, be smart enough. So that's what they're

840
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: talking about that. That's Jane's point about the coaches that

841
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,399
Speaker 1: you know that's their job be smart enough. But Dak

842
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: has to play better and the offensive line needs continuity.

843
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: This is like coaching. Are we sitting on Santa's lap

844
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: and telling him everything we want for Christmas because we're asked,

845
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: we're actually asking for a perfect football team. You just

846
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: open up players to say some and totally inappropriate. I

847
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: didn't say anything, but you were thinking I was not

848
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 1: your dirty man coming up next here you have a

Speaker 1: have a crazy week because I've got Monday Night football

00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 1: and hang out with us. I gotta get up early.

911
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: All those years to Clarence said, we were in the

912
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: hospitality suite on a Saturday night, not in New York.

913
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: In New York, you went to see the tree. I

914
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: didn't stay at the house. I went to New York. Yeah,

915
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,359
Speaker 1: he wasn't going to Jersey like that was one trip.

916
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: You probably didn't see Clarence. Not not the Jersey. Yeah,

917
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: now I was in New York. Yeah, you didn't see

918
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 1: me in New Orleans either. We were pretty much at

919
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 1: the hotel, small fishing, a big fun. I never got

920
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: to leave. Now twenty two years for the Mavericks to

921
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: play a game in the night before at the same city.

922
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 1: Been waiting. Wow, go I covered the Mavericks and the

923
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: playoff series when CP three was brand new. Look at that.

924
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: Remember that everyone's going CP three. Who is this kid?

925
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: One of my favorite Star Wars franchises. I had a

926
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: good time in New Orleans. That is one of the

927
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: All right, real quick time, I'm gonna start. I'm gonna

928
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: start this conversation off with this little tidbit on Halloween.

929
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: On Halloween, the Cowboys one without Dak in Minneapolis to

930
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: go to six and one. Washington lost. They were two

931
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: and six on Halloween six and one, two and six.

932
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 1: Since then, Washington's four and oh Cowboys are two and three.

933
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 1: Now we were kidding around about the big gulp. Everybody's

934
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: assumed that the NFC East was over a month ago

935
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 1: because Washington, Philadelphia and the Giants were so bad and

936
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: Dallas was so good. Uh, they won four straight, beat Tampa,

937
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,879
Speaker 1: beat Carolina, beat Seattle, beat Vegas. They're doing some good

938
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,439
Speaker 1: things that we can get into a little bit here,

939
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,760
Speaker 1: but let's just go around the table with how serious

940
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: of a threat does the Washington football team feel to you?

941
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: For the Cowboys? Slater Jane, I think they're missing some pieces,

942
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: but I do think they've got a little bit of

943
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: the hot hand right now. And Ron Rivera has been

944
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:37,760
Speaker 1: just what that franchise needed. So hard to say, hard

945
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: to say that that was a Dan Fogelberg. So Cowboys

946
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 1: win this one on the road. Oh, there you go.

947
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: That's definitive. But I shouldn't be surprised if they split

948
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 1: the series. Okay, they're losing Dallas. It's all they need

949
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: to do. That's all they need, that's all they need

950
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 1: to do. I think that Washington is uh, they're they're

951
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: one of those teams that like they're going to be

952
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: right there. They're not good enough to just blow you out,

953
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 1: and they haven't really done that, but they don't have to.

954
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how good their defense is. But when

955
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: you play games in the NFL that close, they're not

956
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: gonna win. I mean, to think that they're gonna win

957
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: like eight out of nine down the stretch seems unlikely.

958
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: Now they've already won four, but I mean, you keep

959
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: playing that way. It'd be one thing if you're the

960
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: Patriots and oh seven, you're just blowing everyone out because

961
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 1: you're just so much better than everyone else. But if

962
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 1: you play all these games close, like that kicker is

963
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: gonna miss the field goal the next week or whatever,

964
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how close these games are, so they

965
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: have to be perfect. I don't think they play a

966
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: style to be perfect for five more games. To your point,

967
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: because the NFL research department makes me so much smarter,

968
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: I think I read in my packet today that they've

969
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 1: actually not won five straights. So let me. Look at

970
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 1: that like ever in their entire life's previous Washington team.

971
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 1: I think that they there should be concerned and legitimate

972
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: concern because this Washington team is dangerous and they're gaining confidence.

973
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: And you talk about this is the team that's continued

974
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: to gain confidence with each win, but leaving when no

975
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 1: one else believes in then when they were two and

976
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 1: six and and everybody thought this thing was done. They're

977
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 1: gaining confidence. The Cowboys better not mess around. And that's

978
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: that's all I'm saying. They cannot mess around Washington, don't

979
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 1: mess they cannot. And again, that offensive line is pretty good. Yeah,

980
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: and they got their running game going that the receiving

981
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: McClard is pretty good. They're dangerous football team, and the

982
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: dangerous it's a dangerous situation for the Cowboys going to

983
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,919
Speaker 1: They need to get right, get back right, because don't

984
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: don't mess around. All right, We're gonna dive in. Go ahead.

985
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: I just think one thing about got an answer for you,

986
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 1: the confidence, though Jane has an answer for us. Washington

987
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: has not won five Street games since they won seven

988
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: games in a row to end the twenty twelve season.

989
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 1: After a three and sixth start, they won the NFC

990
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: East that year three. Sometimes confidence, though, can can hurt you.

991
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 1: Oh we saw that in doubt Us, Right, That's what

992
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:03,799
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like how many times in this show if

993
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: we heard everyone said this or everyone said I think

994
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: that everyone. I think the difference with this one is

995
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,359
Speaker 1: this team is starting to believe themselves. No one did

996
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: it is because because they're not blowing. The Cowboys confidence

997
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 1: was arrogance, because they seem like they could just roll

998
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: the ball out there and just things would work out

999
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: for him. The way the where the way Washington is

1000
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: playing is not that they're argot. They're they're starting to

1001
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 1: believe in themselves because they're not because they've they've won

1002
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 1: every game by the nose, but by no So it's

1003
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 1: not like they're just hitting on all cylinders. But they're

1004
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:35,919
Speaker 1: gaining confidence in what they're that's all I'm saying. Usually

1005
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: getting confidence to believe that they can win. Usually people

1006
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: that are, you know, out on the moon come down

1007
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: to Earth and so that I don't think they're on

1008
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: the moon. Though he's got the quarterback, is they ain't

1009
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,399
Speaker 1: playing that great? He's playing okay, that's what he's That's

1010
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: why he was drafted, right. But my point is, I

1011
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,359
Speaker 1: don't think he's on the phone. He he knows two years.

1012
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that's situation where he don't. He don't

1013
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: think I think he'll suddenly think he's telling braid your hair.

1014
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: I think he'll come down to earth. But I'll say this,

1015
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 1: they better, they better stop the run. We talk about

1016
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 1: all this stuff about rushing the passer on third and nine,

1017
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: what's it gonna look like? It may not get the

1018
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 1: third and nine if if right, I'm gonna throw some

1019
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: numbers at you in that regard. But first I want

1020
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: to I'm gonna go back to Heineke. Uh, somebody, you're

1021
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 1: you're talking about what everybody's saying. I do listen to

1022
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 1: what everybody's saying. And somebody on ESPN this week, I

1023
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:32,280
Speaker 1: don't know who, I forget, uh said that Heineke reminds

1024
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 1: him of Romo. Does anybody else see that? No? Meybe

1025
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: the youthful confidence, Yeah, the boyish face, but that's about it.

1026
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: But Romo when he electrified this city and O six

1027
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,720
Speaker 1: and then oh seven, was a totally different player than Heineken.

1028
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: But I also think they were both unexpected though, right, Yes,

1029
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: But but okay, there are parts of it that can

1030
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 1: see it play in the game. You know, Moxie Romo

1031
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: played the game like a point guard. He always did,

1032
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: in my opinion, until he got a little bit better

1033
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 1: and as a thrower, and he but I mean this

1034
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: first few years it was razzle dazzle underhand passing to Winton,

1035
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,240
Speaker 1: dropping the ball, pick it up, throwing it left handed.

1036
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 1: That's kind of what he does. And I could see

1037
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 1: that a little bit out of yeah, he okay, if

1038
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna bring up the point guard thing, I like

1039
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,320
Speaker 1: that that there is a similarity there. But I'm I

1040
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 1: just remember Tony flinging the ball all over the yard.

1041
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: Heinik's not right and and Tony was a gun slinger,

1042
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: and and you know, I think that that the comparison

1043
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 1: is he has Moxie. Like Moxie, that's what he has.

1044
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: But he doesn't have Tony's game. He even closed to

1045
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 1: Tony's game. All right, Tonia game. This guy I love guard.

1046
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 1: That's not the end of the sea. Hug with his

1047
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 1: dad was so phony with the camera right there. I mean,

1048
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: he kept going back to that's who he is, his

1049
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:55,879
Speaker 1: dad the same way. That's cover him for a game

1050
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville and his pregame warm up all he he's

1051
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 1: like the slights this like cut off top you had

1052
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 1: the hair flowing, and it's just I just think there's

1053
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 1: like an eighties sports car outside while Jacksonville's playing this

1054
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: like ridiculous like hair band music. Yeah. I can't explain him,

1055
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: but there is like this Minshew magic about him, and

1056
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: I love that he's bringing it to Philly. Didn't like

1057
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 1: the top gun thing. I mean that that's who he is,

1058
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:22,399
Speaker 1: and he's a quirky cat. Can he play? He would

1059
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 1: have been good in an MTV video in the early eighties.

1060
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: I would give you that. He's definitely good. Back and forth.

1061
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: All right, real quick, listen to these numbers, fellas. Now

1062
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 1: you brought up the run game. Washington the last four

1063
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: games in their winning streak is running it for one

1064
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:40,399
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven yards per game. Cowboys. In their

1065
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: little three game stretch. Here three games, they're running it

1066
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 1: for ninety seven yards per game. People want to see No,

1067
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 1: they don't want to see me. They don't need to

1068
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: see me. Here's a stat that really gives me respect

1069
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:57,919
Speaker 1: about this Washington football team. In their four games their

1070
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: third down percentage fifty eight point five. They were eleven

1071
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 1: of nineteen against the Bucks, seven of thirteen, six of thirteen,

1072
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 1: five or thirteen the Cowboys in their three game stretch

1073
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: twenty four percent, they're ten of forty one. See Now

1074
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: that's Heiniki being the point guard, I think, or having

1075
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 1: the moxie to get these third downs converted. But for

1076
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 1: him specifically, he's got seven touchdowns and two interceptions and

1077
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 1: he's got a seventy seven completion percentage. He's playing at

1078
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: a high level, and you're right, it does make them

1079
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: a dangerous team. They don't have a lot of weapons.

1080
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Curtis Samuel's trying to come back, and he

1081
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 1: brings a little something when he's healthy. Yeah, Gibson's a

1082
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 1: good player. Mckissic. I can't figure him out, but he

1083
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 1: shows up. Yeah. I mean they're a grinded out team.

1084
00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: They're in old school nineties in NFC East type team.

1085
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: They you know, the running back Gibson, I think he

1086
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:07,439
Speaker 1: leads it, leads the NFC now and rushing and that's

1087
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: kind of where it starts, you know. Comparing him to

1088
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: Romo just seems kind of crazy. I see their games similar,

1089
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 1: but also, I mean when Romo finally started playing, you know,

1090
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 1: he had t O, he had Jason Witten. I mean,

1091
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: he had Terry Glenn and he had some guys to

1092
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 1: kind of throw the ball too, So a little a

1093
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: little bit different game there, but they figured out. I

1094
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: just I just don't know if you can play that

1095
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 1: style in this league at this month of the year

1096
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 1: and keep winning that way every time. It's just that

1097
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: the percentages don't say that you'll do that, and they're

1098
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: a little bit behind. And if they split, like Jane said,

1099
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will take that all day. They'll they'll they'll

1100
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: take a split. They probably take it. They'd rather take

1101
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 1: it this way too, with a win and then whatever

1102
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 1: happens against the Giants, because you win and he beat

1103
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 1: the Giants, I think you win. I just can't see

1104
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 1: them being that dangerous without Chase Young and without Montez Sweat.

1105
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 1: I mean, now, if those two guys were there, with

1106
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 1: Ron Payne and Jonathan Allen on that front, then they'd

1107
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 1: be scary as heck. But they were there the first

1108
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: six games of the year, right, I know. I just

1109
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 1: don't get them. I don't. Yeah, and and they're only

1110
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 1: they've given up seventy one points in these four games.

1111
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: Defense is pretty good. Yeah, that defense is pretty good.

1112
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 1: So again that's why the Cowboys. They need to be

1113
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 1: well on offense and they're not. I'm you know, I'm

1114
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 1: really concerned about Tony Poller not playing because we know

1115
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 1: Zeke is not right and not healthy. You saw in

1116
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 1: the Saints game that ten yard run is miss running

1117
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 1: the game, he just ran out of bounds. Yeah, he

1118
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 1: has no explosion. He looked like a player. I was

1119
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: told today he'll play. They're not worried. They're not worried

1120
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: about him not playing. And why they signed the running

1121
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: back is that? I mean like they no, no, No,

1122
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure I guess he will play. But is he

1123
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 1: gonna be explosive Tony with that foot now? Him playing

1124
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 1: or Zeke's been playing, Zike hasn't been special, So him

1125
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 1: being on the field and sue nothing playing doesn't mean

1126
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: the running game is gonna be right now, I'm saying, well,

1127
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 1: I've been in this discussion. Can I can I go

1128
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 1: on a rand here because you're talking about my running back? Uh,

1129
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 1: people have misunderstood what Zeke is feet through. I mean,

1130
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: come on, man, Dallas, you don't even know his name.

1131
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 1: Listen to me, Listen to me. Zeke could have very

1132
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 1: easily have not played. Why is he on the field.

1133
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 1: He's toughen it out because Paulard can't pass protect and

1134
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: Zeke can, and because Paulard doesn't run as good inside

1135
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 1: and Zeke can. People need to get off of Zeke

1136
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 1: and appreciate how he is toughen it out for his

1137
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 1: football team. Can I get a name end from anybody

1138
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 1: on that we all we all respect Zeke. You're not

1139
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 1: the only guy that respects what Zeke has done. And

1140
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 1: I've said it and I've written it. Zeke is a worry.

1141
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 1: He as tough as any player on his team. And

1142
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 1: he you know, he said today they don't have to

1143
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 1: drag me out this field. He's not come out the field.

1144
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:57,400
Speaker 1: He wants to play. Yes, they have him out there

1145
01:00:57,480 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 1: because of his ability to block in the past the game,

1146
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 1: because he's still strong on short yard but it also

1147
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 1: coming at diminishing return for him and the team. He

1148
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: should not be getting more carried than Pollard the last

1149
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 1: three weeks, but yet he has. Did you just get

1150
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 1: sideline tickets to Ohio State for that runt running back?

1151
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 1: Some day when you ever running back that wins you

1152
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: the nation title, maybe you'll feel the shot you've been young.

1153
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:28,920
Speaker 1: Stop stop, stop, stop the drama. The bottom line is

1154
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 1: Zeke is hurt. Okay, he's got healthy. He's toughing it

1155
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 1: out though, but that doesn't Okay, fine, we're gonna give

1156
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 1: him credit with tupping it out. You want to stop

1157
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 1: helping the football? Do you want to see Pollard and

1158
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: pass protection? Chill? I don't want to see Zeke getting

1159
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 1: more carries than poll Okay, what are you gonna do

1160
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 1: in pass protection? He can be out there on third down.

1161
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 1: I said, I don't want to see. I said, I

1162
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 1: don't want to see him get more carries than Pollard

1163
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 1: and that what I just said? Yeah, And then he

1164
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 1: kept bringing up pass protection. I don't right. I mean,

1165
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: you can't just run the ball at outside every time.

1166
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean Poller, Yeah, I love their on

1167
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 1: fifty eight yards. They needed it, big play. But I

1168
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:07,520
Speaker 1: mean he's not he's not. He doesn't do as many

1169
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 1: things I think a Zeka. I'm fine with what they're doing.

1170
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it, and the Cowboys aren't fine though,

1171
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 1: that's the issue. Then pull then drag him off the field.

1172
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 1: But they won't and they don't because they need him.

1173
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 1: All Right, we gotta go tomorrow. Jory, Jory Epstein is here.

1174

Speaker 1: Jama showed us here. But before we go, real quick

1175
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 1: because you guys, Nick maybe here will see if this

1176
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 1: means I don't have to pick the game, You don't

1177
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 1: have that hit me? All right, they win or lose.

1178
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:37,919
Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to pick games. You're already said they're

1179
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 1: gonna win, already said Cowboys, Cowboys. Not a lot of confidence.

1180
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 1: Does not a lot of confidence. I'm not betting on it.
