28
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: when you do that, when you gotta promote it, because

29
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: it's it's almost like ESPN screaming like we we cover

30
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: wrestling too, Like you know, you don't have to watch

32
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,160

00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: been watching wrestling for a long time, they're watching this

34
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,280

35
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,440

36
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: have three of those little wrestling figures up on my

37
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,400

48
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: probably the biggest wrestling fan in our group. Right, Rob's

00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,440

53
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: Rock loser leaves Town match or something whatever. Yeah, all

54
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: of us today, Okay, all right, let's get back barrass anyone.

55
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:57,399
Speaker 1: But does everyone know Rick Flair? No? I never would

56
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: have guessed that we would start this show off with

57
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: with Rick Flair. Pro wrestling. Yeah, but hey works, Hey,

58
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: most pro wrestlers used to be football players. So they're

59
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: talking a lot talking. Actually had sting on last year.

60
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: Let's oh yeah, when he was here, he was on

61
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: talking Cowboys. Look that up? Yeah, look that up? Yeah,

62
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: all right, all right, let's get into let's talk some

63
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys we've got. You look at the NFC East right now,

64
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys are sitting in second place. They are at the

65
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: moment a wildcard team. You got the Philadelphia Eagles in

66
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: first place at eight and one. They'll have a bye

67
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: this week. Cowboys are at five and three, will go

68
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: to Atlanta. Washington at four and four plays Minnesota. That'll

69
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: be a tough game. Minnesota now at six and two

70
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: and leading their division. And then of course the Giants,

71
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: they're one and seven and they'll be facing the OE

72
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: nine San Francisco forty nine. Is that should be fun?

73
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: That's my steam. Somebody will be watching that, I'm sure.

74
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: All right. So here's the interesting part though, when you

75
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: start looking at the wildcard race and some of the

76
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: teams that are involved there. Right now, Carolina is the

77
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: other wild card team at six and three. But listen

78
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: to these other teams that are kind of in that

79
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: mixed with the Cowboys and the and the Panthers. You

80
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: got Seattle at five and three, got Atlanta at four

81
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: and four, Washington and Arizona at four and four, Detroit

82
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: at four and four, and Green Bay at four and four.

83
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: And the best part about that for the Cowboys is

84
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: there's only one team in that mix that has a

85
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: head to head tie break over them, and it's the

86
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: one that's going the opposite way, which is Green Bay

87
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: at four and four. The rest of these teams either

88
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have already beaten them or the Cowboys play

89
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: them at some point this season. So everything sits right

90
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: in front of the Cowboys. Here's the question for you guys.

91
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: Who scares you? You You look around the NFC right now.

92
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is obviously out of the mix. Who scares

93
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: you in the NFC at this point? That's second circuit

94
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: cord or something like that. Yeah, that's that's the scariest

95
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: thing you gotta face. Three judge three judge panel in

96
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: New York is pretty scary. Yeah, that that right there.

97
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to funny. That's it's true. That

98
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,559
Speaker 1: is true. I mean because we feel like with Zeke

99
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: and they can they can compete with it. I mean

100
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: they can beat anyone handily. Really, um Dick can compete

101
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: with anyone for sure on any place. And and we

102
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: know that this league now is and I said to

103
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: the other day, it's it's becoming a sixty forty league

104
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: for fans. So you got to go on the road

105
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: and win, but you'll have fans there at home. You

106
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: got to deal with it, you know. I mean Dak's

107
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: trying to like quiet the crowd and like that only

108
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: down in that chief's end zone. Like that didn't help,

109
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: you know. So I'm just saying this team has a

110
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: chance to win with Zeke, but with who scares you?

111
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll let Dave answer that. Who's who

112
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: scares this team? Well, our listeners have let me know

113
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: how much they don't appreciate how much I respect Aaron Rodgers,

114
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: which so he's not an option. So if teams that

115
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: have just like next level Hall of Fame caliber quarterback

116
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: player are always going to worry me, Like that's the

117
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: great equalizer, which so gods are one in seven day,

118
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: I know that there's another team though there's another team,

119
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: which honestly I don't. Oh, I don't so this point

120
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: believe that they're as good as that six game winning

121
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: streak indicates. But the Saints are rolling, and when they are,

122
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: that Superdome is a tough place to play. Is he

123
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: the only quarterback that's that's in the NFC, that's kind

124
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: of in the hunt right now, that is better than

125
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: Dack definitively, Yes, I mean, I mean there are other guys.

126
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: You would say it's right there with Zak, and you

127
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: can kind of Carson Carson Wentz is playing better than

128
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: Dak because he's doing it there. Their success is a

129
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: lot of because of him. Cowboy success is a lot

130
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: of him and Zeke. But this, this goes back to

131
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,559
Speaker 1: the conversation we had two or three weeks ago, which

132
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: Breeze is probably the only guy in the NFC that

133
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: is inarguably a better quarterback than Dak. I think Russell

134
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: Wilson probably deserves getting there. He deserves some credit there.

135
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: And if you just want to talk resume, then you

136
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: gotta throw Eli in there. And but he's not in

137
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,119
Speaker 1: the mixing right No, Yeah, but I mean he's about

138
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: his out of it as Rogers Breeze. Bree he's in

139
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: RUSS I think, or unless I'm just really forgetting that.

140
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a guy that's taking his team to

141
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. We had this conversation though, like he's

142
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: Doctor Jekyl and mister High. Yes he can be now

143
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: old song, Oh, But who's who says that though? Is

144
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: it Teddy Riley? I think it's Teddy Riley. Matt Matt Ryan,

145
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: and Matt Stafford are probably on that list too, honestly.

146
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you're just talking about playing the quarterback position.

147
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: What they've done and what they can do. You can

148
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: say that they're better than Dak right now, but I

149
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: mean Dak is trending that way, and I'm certainly I'm

150
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: not willing to concede on the Dak Wentz argument anytime soon.

151
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: I mean, that's gonna be fascinating but also annoying for

152
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: like the next decade. It's that debate quarterbacks. It's kind

153
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: of funny when you when you have one that you

154
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: really like, you might argue, Okay, this guy's better, his

155
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: resume is better, or he's playing better, but you're not

156
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: trading anyone for him like you wouldn't. There's no one

157
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: that's the end exactly. That's a trade for Dak talking

158
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: about for a game a season, for a season. That's

159
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: I guess that's kind of my I mean, the only thing,

160
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: the only one that came to my mind was Stafford

161
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: because I think he's in the prime of his career.

162
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: And I think he is right now, of all those

163
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: guys you mentioned, I think he's probably he's right up

164
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: there with the way he plays and how much has

165
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: heaped on him to be able to get his team

166
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: to win. Yeah, I think he's up there with those

167
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: those Yeah, you're right. I probably would trade for Stafford

168
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: two for one. And I'm not saying I would. That

169
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: just gave me pause, Like that's the guy I think

170
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: about it. You're right, he does a lot with less

171
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's like, oh, there's up doing

172
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: it back there fumbling the ball in my fantasy game

173
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: away and umtually one lesson the guy that was I

174
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: was playing against was ahead of me and then he fumbled.

175
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: You're talking about your fantasy game right now. Absolutely am

176
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: and awful. Radio. I don't care what you have to

177
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: say about that, Mara. Yes, I would ask y'all to

178
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: do that. I didn't ask y'all to do either. We

179
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: talk about her lives day, We do talk about our

180
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: lives fantasy football and can be. I don't think they do.

181
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: They absolutely do. You know, it's it's a big deal

182
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: for them mud hounds and mad dogs. What the mudhounds?

183
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 1: What a mad dog about your awful fantasy team, the

184
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: mad Dogs, mad Hounds dog whatever they are, what is

185
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 1: it mad hounds? Excuse me, the mud hounds, the mud

186
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: mad Dogs. We were right there. We were close. The

187
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: winning is team in all football. That's your fantasy team

188
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: doing that's a thing. This morning is just gonna responsible today,

189
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: one and done. She played last year, Yeah, last year.

190
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: It's too stressful. Yeah, it's because we did an auction league.

191
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: I'll never do that again. That ever, that sucks. Ever.

192
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: All right, here's what we're gonna do. I want to

193
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: because it's the midway point of the season. I have

194
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: some questions for you guys. We're gonna do like a

195
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: mid season recap, and these questions again, are gonna be

196
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: big picture questions about this team. And I want each

197
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: you guys are going to go around the table. You guys,

198
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: each give me an answer. Feel free. I'm gonna give

199
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: you options, but feel free to throw in another option

200
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: if you choose, if you think there's a better option

201
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: out there that I missed. All right, so' gonna start

202
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: the first question. Defensive player who has had the biggest

203
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: impact de Marcus Lawrence shan Lee or David Irvy you

204
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: want me to say de Marcus Lawrence, No, I don't

205
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: the answer. The answer Sean there you go. Yeah, the

206
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: answer is Shaun, which is on this side of the table. Yeah,

207
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: am Er, what do you think you agree with that? Well?

208
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: I think Sean Lee, Yeah, you've it's been super noticeable

209
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: the impact that he can make in this defense, especially

210
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: you know when he's not there, you see how much

211
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: that affects the team. But at the same time, I

212
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: would say de Marcus Lawrence, he came this season, he

213
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: came in doing so well that I think it just

214
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: feeds off everyone else on the line and it helps

215
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: everyone everyone, you know, play better. And I think he

216
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 1: was a great impact. He's been great as well, No

217
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: doubt you can make an impact for all three because

218
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: David this defense is now take it to the next level.

219
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: Since he's gotten here, he's got what six sacks in

220
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: what three four d four four games? Yeah, he's on

221
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: pace for like eighteen or something like that. I mean,

222
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: it's that's amazing. And then you know DeMarcus has done

223
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: and he's I don't think he's leading the league anymore

224
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: in sacks, but I mean he's right there. He's only

225
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: half off Yeah, he's he's right there. He's played outstanding.

226
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: I can't believe he couldn't get eight straight to start

227
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: the season. At his first game with no sacks came

228
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: after Halloween like that. Just it's remarkable when you put

229
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: it in that perspective. But I really am at the

230
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: point they would have won at least one of those games,

231
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: Rams or Packers. They would have won at least one

232
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: if Shanley had been on the field. I really do

233
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: believe that. Definitely agree with you, I really do. I

234
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: mean just probably probably the Rams game. Probably the Rams,

235
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: but one way or the other, I really think that

236
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 1: would have made I mean, you're talking about razor thin

237
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: margin of error. Like if he makes three plays, I

238
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: mean he sniffs out a screen to Kareem Hunt that

239
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: might have gone for a seventy yard touchdown, and he

240
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: had at least one tackle for loss on Tyreek Hill

241
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: two on one of those care I mean, those players

242
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: make difference. That's the difference between Todd Gurley splitting the

243
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: defense going fifty three yards for a touchdown. Aaron Jones

244
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: is his name, Aaron Jones the Packers. I just don't

245
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: see one hundred and fifteen yards out of him. With

246
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: Sean Lee out there, I mean, I just don't. I

247
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: just think he'll stop the drive earlier, they'll sniff that

248
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: stuff out. And but yeah, so to me, the answer

249
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: is Sean Lee. But those other two guys are really good.

250
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: It really illuminates how much injuries just matters so much

251
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: just one guy. Because even think about this, like you

252
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: take you take right now, Aaron Rodgers obviously out that

253
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: team would have been right up there at the top

254
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: of the NFC in my opinion, and right now they

255
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: are going the other way, and they're the way they

256
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: look last night. It's hard for me to fathom them

257
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: even making the playoffs. There I'm I'm stealing. I'm stealing

258
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: this line from r. J o'choa, who's one of the

259
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: you know cowboys. He covers the Cowboys. He does really

260
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: good job of it, for whatever that's worth, but he

261
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: the twenty seventeen Packers are the twenty fifteen Cowboys. Like

262
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: watching that team last and just trying to make it

263
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: work with less than great quarterback play. You've got some

264
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: playmakers on defense who are trying to make it work.

265
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: But I mean, it's not like they got their doors

266
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: blown off in that game last night. But you just

267
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 1: you gotta have quarterback play in this league. You have

268
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: to ye, all right. Next question, who was or will

269
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: be missed more David Irving during the first four games

270
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: of the season or Brian Price during the rest of

271
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: the season. I think it. I think Brian Price has

272
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: been playing well and they are thin at one tech,

273
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: and you know, depending on what they do here, that

274
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: could be something that matters. But I'm not I'm not

275
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: ready to give him that kind of status just yet

276
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: to where you know, I don't know that it's going

277
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: to drastically change what the defense looks like without him.

278
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: They signed Nick Haden yet, Is Nick Hayden still around?

279
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: Is he available? I do wonder about that though, I mean,

280
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: logic I don't know if he's around. I don't know.

281
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: Logic says you would sign Lewis Neil because he's not

282
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: a one time I know that's but you carried him

283
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: on your practice squad, you liked him enough to keep

284
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 1: him around. You almost put him on your fifty three.

285
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: And these guys always tend to favor their guys more

286
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: than somebody else's guy. But he really doesn't fit what

287
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: they need right right, and That's exactly why I asked

288
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: this question the way that I did. I think conventional

289
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: wisdom would say it's David Irving. But I think when

290
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: you look at the way this team is constructed, and

291
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: you look at what they have on their practice squad,

292
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: Brian Price really was their big body. They don't have

293
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: other big bodies. I actually have Ash now, Yeah, but

294
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: I don't think he's the same Like I don't. I

295
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: don't see him as like you look at Brian Price.

296
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: He is just a mean, he's a just a massive

297
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: dude can full of dirt. Yeah, and they don't have

298
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like even Ash. I don't think it's

299
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: that kind of guy, Like he's not that big. And

300
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: and I just I was actually hoping before this game,

301
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: I was saying I really wanted them to do more

302
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: with keeping Brian Price in there and rotating Malie Collins

303
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: at three technique with David Irving because I thought you

304
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: would get more out of Malie Collins, you know. But

305
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: I think right now, I just I don't like what

306
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: they have left at at the one technique. I don't

307
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: think they have a guy that really these just a

308
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: you know, basically suck up two blockers and consistently be

309
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: able to hold a point of attack like that. Well,

310
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: let me throw this out. Let me rephrase what I

311
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: was trying to say. It's Tuesday morning, and we haven't

312
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: heard anything about workouts, which we probably would have if

313
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: that was normally happen. Yeah, like tuesdays, that off day

314
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: they get into practice tomorrow, this would be the day

315
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: that they'd be working guys out if they were planning

316
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: on signing somebody from outside. And maybe they will, but

317
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: typically we hear about those types of things late Monday night,

318
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: early Tuesday morning, and I haven't heard anything. No, I

319
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: haven't heard anything about a workout. But don't forget that

320
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: they have worked out guys on a regular basis. And

321
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure they're keeping track on these, you know,

322
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: defensive tackle or if there was one in the last

323
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: few weeks. So, okay, this guy's good or not. I

324
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: just wonder, and again I could be wrong. Maybe they'll

325
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: work a guy out, maybe they'll just bring a guy in.

326
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: But you've got Irving who can play tackle, You've got

327
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: Tyrone who can move inside. You've still got Malik and

328
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: Ash there. You could call up Neil and I'll say

329
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: it for the million of time, even though they don't

330
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: want to do it. You could also play Taco at

331
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: tackle if you wanted to. So they got the options.

332
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: They don't have that big body. I agree with you,

333
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: But well, they'll keep they'll keep having. The assumption will

334
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: be they'll keep Malik at one technique. He'll still be

335
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: your one technique. Ash will be a guy that rotates

336
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: there with him at one technic. Right, and then you

337
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: can Neil probably gonna if he gets thirty one teams

338
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: out there with the practice squad of ten guys, I

339
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: guarantee there's a big body out there. I would take him.

340
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: Just just just go grab a big body. Yeah, he's

341
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: got to be on your roster for three weeks, but

342
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: that's okay because Brian Price is going to be you know,

343
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: on ir. Yeah, I'd be interested. I mean, Malik has

344
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: been playing one and Ash can play one. Maybe call

345
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: up call up my guy, the LSU guy, and see

346
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: if he dish the past. I mean, I mean Jay

347
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: Ratliffe was an undersized guy too. And I mean I'm

348
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: not to sound, you know, like Lou Holtz here, but

349
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, you can't underestimate the guy's heart.

350
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he this guy's here. You got it this far,

351
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: and I know that. You can just see him in

352
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: the locker room talking. This is talking about Lewis Neil.

353
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: He's chopping at the bit to get out there. I

354
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: don't I don't mean, who's to say that he won't

355
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: do something? And I get well, and I guess my

356
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: point is you don't have to call him up to

357
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: play one because that's where the injury was. You can

358
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: play him at three and have some other guys. It's

359
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: kind of massage it a little bit, but he can

360
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: do something. All right. We're gonna take our first break.

409
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: Welcome back. It's the second segment of the Break lot

410
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: from the s WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. We

411
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: are going through our midseason review and I'm asking these

412
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: guys questions about the team. Let's get to the questions

413
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: we got. The next question is which was the best win?

414
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: When at Washington with a one thirty three nineteen Week

415
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: eight or the Week nine victory against Kansas City where

416
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: they won twenty eight to seventeen. That's those are the

417
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: only options. You feel free to throw in others if

418
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: you like. Now that's I mean the Chiefs, the chief skin,

419
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: It's it's got to be the Chiefs, you think. I

420
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: think it was the best game they played as a team, offense, defense,

421
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: and special teams. I think it was the best team

422
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: they've beaten to this point, the only one with a

423
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: record above five hundred right now, if I recall correctly,

424
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: Arizona Arizon's four four. Arizona and Washington are both best team,

425
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: they played, best performance just all. I mean, they dominated

426
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: a team that I expect to be in the playoffs.

427
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 1: So that's yeah, that's the one. Yeah, it's the most

428
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: impressive win. It's probably not the most important, but it

429
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: is the most impressive win. But I'll switch it up,

430
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: but I'll say that the one two weeks ago was

431
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: was a better win. Um not from a surprising standpoint,

432
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: because obviously it picked the Chiefs to win the game,

433
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: and I am surprised. But at the end of the day,

434
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: beating the Redskins was probably a better win because not

435
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: only is it a division win, it's a conference win

436
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs. That doesn't really affect you as much

437
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: other than win lost records. So I'll just I guess

438
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: would just be different. I mean, I mean more impressed

439
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs win, but that one going they're winning

440
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 1: in the rain like that, doing it the way they did,

441
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: the defense, shutting them down like that, playing limiting their

442
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: mistakes in that monsoon, and getting that win, getting a

443
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: defensive touchdown, getting Byron Jones to make play. That's big win.

444
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: And the most important part about that is they went

445
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: on the road to get that means they still got

446
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: to play watching it, but they get them at home

447
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: for the second game. Amber which way do you go?

448
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: They were both great, But I would have to say

449
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs, I thought they would have a good

450
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: battle against the Redskins, but I still had in mind

451
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: that they would be able to beat them. So I'll

452
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: just go with the Chiefs because I definitely didn't expect

453
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: that outcome. Okay, here's a little tougher question. Which was

454
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: the worst loss at Denver where they lost forty two

455
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: to seventeen in week two, playing versus the Rams where

456
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: they won thirty five, I mean they lost thirty five

457
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: to thirty in week four, or playing Green Bay where

458
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: they lost thirty five thirty one in week five. You

459
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: want me to say Denver, I do not want you

460
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: to say Rams, it's the Rams or I mean you

461
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: can throw green Bay in there too, because you have to.

462
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: We're all painful. Has to be the Rams. They they

463
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: lost because of themselves. Yeah, when you lose because of that,

464
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: then that just so. Are you guys not buying into

465
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: the Rams because it does. I get the impression listening

466
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: to you guys talk about the Rams those things where

467
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys should have won. I don't care anything about

468
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: what the Rams have done after that. I'm just talking

469
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: about the sixty minutes that we watched. They were better

470
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: football team. They shouldn't have lost that game. They really

471
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,959
Speaker 1: how Boys were better football to Cowboys were better. They

472
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: shouldn't have lost. They made a mistake there. They let

473
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: Here's here's the difference of how they've grown. They let

474
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: a horrible mistake just kind of change the whole game

475
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: and they couldn't recover from. I'm talking about Switzer's fumble

476
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: this time against the Chiefs, worst mistake. They were able

477
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: to overcome that and not let it snowball, so that

478
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: there's some signs of growth there. But I think there's

479
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: really no excuse for I mean that excuse. The Rams

480
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: are playing well, they're better than we thought, but they

481
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: should have won that particular game. In my opinion, it's

482
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: got Yeah, it's got nothing to do with whether or

483
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: not the Rams are for real. It's got everything to

484
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: do with holding an eleven point lead at home against

485
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: a I mean, going back to that conversation, like, is

486
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: Jared Goff that Aaron Rodgers type of quarterback that you're

487
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: just kind of have to tip your cap. I don't

488
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: think so, at least not yet. They're talented team. Obviously,

489
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: they're they're in the front running to maybe even get

490
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: a buy in the playoffs. But you got a team

491
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: down by multiple possessions at home. You need to win that.

492
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: I mean, going to Denver, one of the toughest home

493
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: field advantages in football, playing against that defense on a

494
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: rainy day. Okay, stuff happens. You lose to Aaron Rodgers

495
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: with a minute to go. Okay, he's a Hall of Famer.

496
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: But the Rams, that's even if they win the Super

497
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: Bowl this year, I still won't think that will be,

498
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: you know, a justifiable loss. And I'll say this too,

499
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: I would like now Aaron Donald is going to be

500
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: a beast regardless, but I would like to see Jonathan

501
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: Cooper now against him. Um, I think it's gonna be different. Yeah,

502
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: I think Jonathan Cooper is playing much better. I think

503
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: the offensive line is more a cohesive unit. And I

504
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: think I think you would see a better showing there

505
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: than than you saw there. They still score thirty points,

506
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,719
Speaker 1: but I think they would be better there. I mean,

507
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: Sean Lee there. All I know is is they could

508
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: have to might have to play at the Superdome, might

509
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,239
Speaker 1: have to play at all these you know Seattle, they

510
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: have to go to play at the Coliseum against the

511
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 1: Rams in the playoffs. Like okay, okay, that's fine. Whether

512
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: it'll be great, it'll be half Cowboy fans there. That

513
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: would be of all the destinations they could have in

514
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs, that sounds like the most attractive. Yeah, And

515
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: that's not disrespect toward the Ring now, it's just that

516
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: everything he just said as opposed to Minnesota as loud

517
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: as hell. Oh man, the Saints are loud as hell

518
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: and have a Hall of Fame quarterback and there. I mean,

519
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: I know that Cowboys fans travel and it's close, but

520
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: super Dome off game. No other outdoor stadiums left in

521
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: the NFC that are at the top, like Philly is

522
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: the only one. Philly. Yeah, because I'm thinking this is

523
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: the team what I love about the Cowboys what they

524
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: did against Washington where I think this team, better than

525
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: any of those teams were mentioning, has the ability to

526
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: go into inclement weather and really be able to play

527
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: well much better than their opponent can. And I just

528
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: don't know if you're gonna have a lot of those

529
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: opportunities most seasons. But I don't remember exactly what we

530
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: were just talking about, but it was something about home

531
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: field advantage and whatnot. I like this team on the

532
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: road way better than I like. Yeah, just for whatever

533
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: that's worth even though you mumbled it. I agree with you. Yeah, yeah,

534
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: I agree with you whenever it's like a side whenever,

535
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: whenever I feel like I'm saying something that might not

536
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: be popular with management and owner. You think you say

537
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: lower into the microphone. Yeah, exactly, awesome, Yeah, eventually you

538
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: think you can have all No, I don't think when

539
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: the Chromos are playing it at home, they're good. But

540
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: they're a lot better on the road than they are

541
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: at home, in my opinion. Like it all right? Next question,

542
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: who's been the best? Rooca the son? Jordan Lewis, Xavier Woods,

543
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: Xavier Woods, Xavier whatever, Xavier, Xavier whatever. I noticed that

544
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: you say that, But the basketball team that wins games

545
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: is x The word is Xavier, that's how you should

546
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: pronounce it. But Xavier Woods pronounces it xavier and it's

547
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: his name, So I'm gonna, I mean, is that technically

548
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: the correct way to pronounce the word. Probably not, but

549
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: that's what he wants. So okay, feel free? Yeah, wow, Xavier. Okay,

550
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: there you go. Who's been Who's been better? No? No, no,

551
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: that was the question. The question was best rookie shouts

552
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: I'd say Jordan. I'm a big fan. I think we're

553
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: forgetting someone can't no, who no, forgetting one of the rookies.

554
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: He's coming, you'll be in the next question. So let's

555
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: just say with this Woods or Jordan Lewis, big fan

556
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 1: of Xavier Woods. Jordan Lewis got no training camp, no preseason,

557
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: came in on a moment's notice in week two, and

558
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: he's probably not gonna make the Pro Bowl. But he

559
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: has been solid. He has been really good. I mean,

560
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: I can't think I know, he got beat by Josh

561
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: Doxon pretty bad in DC on a but a dropped pass.

562
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: It didn't wind up coming back to bite him. I

563
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: can't think of a lot of other players where he's

564
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: been like noticeably beaten up. And at this point his career,

565
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: did you say the touchdown which one oh Adams? Yeah,

566
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: But I mean, but at one point you see those

567
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: kind of plays, that play doesn't bother me. Yeah, I

568
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: don't think of that as like, oh, this rookie that

569
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. They should have run the ball, perfect play ball,

570
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: a great catch and he had good coverage. That that happens,

571
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: that's the NFL. He shouldn't have been in that position

572
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: in the first place, and he broke up the first one.

573
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: I mean, like you, that's a fifty fifty kind of situation.

574
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: He got fifty. I mean, I for a guy that

575
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: didn't have a training camp. I don't know how you

576
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: could want more from a third round pick who's starting

577
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: in his rookie season. Yeah, he's been he's been good.

578
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: So Jordan, Jordan, Jordan, everybody, Yeah, all right now most

579
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: disappointing rookie UM Taco Charlton, Ryan Switzer, Chidobe Ewoozia. I'm

580
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: gonna cop right out of this and just say Cheeto

581
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: because he's he's not playing, and I mean it's not

582
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: his fault, but he has He hasn't played since Green

583
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: Bay and he's only played in three out of eight games.

584
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys are optimistic he might finally start practicing this week.

585
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: Maybe he can play against Atlanta. But he just I mean,

586
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: he was a top sixty pick. He's the guy. He

587
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he was. You thought he would, you know,

588
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: have a prominent role in this defense right away, and

589
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: he just hasn't happened for him. This is a good one.

590
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: You can make a case for all of them. You can, Um,

591
00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna Gowitzer hasn't done anything. He hasn't

592
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: done anything positive for the Cowboys. He's he's affected games,

593
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: but he hasn't really affected them in the right way.

594
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: And let me clarify the question when I'm saying disappointment disappointing.

595
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: Disappointing has a lot to do with expectations. So with

596
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: that being sid, who is who's been the most? Like

597
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: when we when training camp started, even the rookie minicamp,

598
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: there was so much hype around Ryan Switzer that you

599
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: expected it to turn out pretty good, you know, once

600
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: he got out there on the field. Now on Taco,

601
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: speaking of Taco, I would give him the advantage of

602
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: just being like, okay, the position, it takes a while

603
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: to learn and to the point she's trying to make.

604
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: The day one talk on Taco was this is gonna

605
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: take some time. He's raw. He's probably not gonna do

606
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: that much. The day one talk on Switzer was like

607
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: dunbar punt returner going to the house seven times, like

608
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: all that. I mean, he was the leading returner in

609
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: college football. I get yeah. I mean I'm going with

610
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: a lot of different voices a day. I mean, this

611
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: is like in a world where Lance dunbar Is at

612
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: Los Angeles ran. The Cowboys needed a new punt returner.

613
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: His name, Ryan Switzer is the newest here you go,

614
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: So I get what ambers I mean, there was a

615
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: lot of hype on Ryan Switzer and not much of

616
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: it has materialized to this point. But he is also

617
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: a fourth round pick. And let's not forget he missed

618
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: what two or three weeks ye siderable time, He magnificant time.

619
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: He missed a junk of training camp. No, no, I

620
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: don't want to clarify those words. I'm just saying it was.

621
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: It was a good amount. I mean, for me, the

622
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: thing about Switzer is my expectation was that I didn't

623
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: expect much from the receiver him at receiver. I did

624
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: expect him to immediately come in and give something with

625
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: punt returns. And not only has he not really been

626
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: the guy expected there, he's actually made mistakes there that

627
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: I thought were a little bit and seemingly uncharacteristic of

628
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: a guy who is who is so proficient at returning

629
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:08,239
Speaker 1: punt and quietly benched quietly, yeah, he was benched. I mean,

630
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: his job is to be the punt returner, and that's

631
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: really what he does. And they're saying that when it

632
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: gets down to the ten yard line, they're gonna put

633
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: a guy that doesn't practice as much as him, that

634
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: had a concussion the week before, and he's gonna make

635
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: him the safe punt returner. That's a problem. So, I

636
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: mean they're basically saying that when it comes to making

637
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: decisions down there, that Beasley is better than Switzer. He

638
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: probably just doesn't do it all the time because Beasley

639
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: actually runs route and play I mean, and it's more

640
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: of a part of the offense switchers out there, but

641
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't do it as much. So I still I

642
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: agree with everything y'all just said him. But Cheeto not playing.

643
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: I mean, Chito was supposed to be one of the

644
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: four or five, like, I mean, he was going to

645
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: be a real member of this secondary and it just

646
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: hasn't happened for him. You know. That's the epitome of disappointed,

647
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: but very injuries versus performance. No, sure, but I mean

648
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: he just he just disappointed that you haven't. Yeah, he

649
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: hasn't made an impact on this season whatsoever, which again,

650
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I'm not it's not his fault. It's

651
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: just a statement of fact and one of the things

652
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: that I think that disappoints me there it with Cheeto specifically,

653
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: is that he actually was out there during training camp

654
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: more than Jordan Lewis. And so if you would have

655
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: told me, okay, by mid season, one of these players

656
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: will still be battling a hamstring injury and the other

657
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: will be out there playing and playing pretty well, it

658
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: would not It would have been the flip, and I

659
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: probably would have been a little less disappointed that Jordan

660
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: Lewis wasn't doing it because he was battling this hamstring thing.

661
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: Going back that far, it just kind of flipped. I

662
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: have never been really down on Taco. I really haven't

663
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: either because the expectations right, hey, yeah, I'm okay with

664
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: it with him, I'm in I'm in a weird place.

665
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: I think I said it a couple weeks ago, where

666
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: like I said, the expectations were never high. He was

667
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: always going to be a project. I think it's fair

668
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: to expect a little bit more like when you're talking

669
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: about your first round pick getting seven snaps a game

670
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: and not showing up on the stat sheet, that's problematic.

671
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: But if he I think since he started playing a

672
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: bigger role, since de Monterrey Moore was released. I mean,

673
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: he's got a sack, he's he had some pressures in

674
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: San Francisco. His performance since the bye week has been

675
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: on par with about what I wanted. But the first

676
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: five weeks, I would say not so much. And it

677
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: helps that you've got the guy leading the league or

678
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: right up there in sacks and Crawford on the other side.

679
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: If Benson Mayowa was having you know, had one sack

680
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: and was ahead of him, and Ebony's or Ecuban was

681
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: ahead of him, then that's one thing. And I was

682
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: just about to ask you that question, is the success

683
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: of the defensive line? The reason why you're not so

684
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,719
Speaker 1: because you feel like, hey, Taco has time because these

685
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: other guys are playing so well. If they were getting

686
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: very little pressure in very few sacks, I think there'd

687
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: probably be a lot more pressure, like why is this

688
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: rookie that's a first round pick not doing more? And

689
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: I'll say that there's a I don't know what category

690
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: he would go in, but a rookie to be somewhat

691
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: excited about. And I know you don't have to say

692
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: sell this to Dave, but Noah Brown, from from a

693
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: standpoint of he you know, young guy does his job.

694
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: He's already got that NFL body. He's gonna he's gonna

695
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: kind of keep getting better and improving. And I think

696
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: that when you're talking about free agency and next year

697
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: and all that decisions that they've got to make, I

698
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be really happy with Noah Brown and

699
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: getting the playing time that he's getting right now. I mean,

700
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: I know he was an active this last week, but

701
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: they try to get him active. I mean, if if,

702
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: if they have a chance they make him active and

703
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: he has a little bit of a role by going

704
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: in there and blocking, he'll be Okay. This may be

705
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 1: a really tough question to ask, but I'm gonna ask

706
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: you guys, anyway, is his upside as good as say,

707
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: an undrafted guy like a Miles Austin is. Does he

708
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: have that kind of potential or is he just one

709
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: of those guys that his ceiling is kind of He

710
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 1: can be a you know, he can be a thirty

711
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: catch a year type guy that really blocks well and

712
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: makes a few big catches for you here and there. Like,

713
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: what is his upside? What what do you think is

714
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: the max for for where he can go? I'm I

715
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: mean I'm not trying to cop out, but I don't

716
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: even know how you answer that. Well. I think Miles Austin,

717
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: though it was a phenomenal athlete like now, it took

718
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: him a while. You know, he had to run a

719
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: lot of you know, routes in the backyard to really

720
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: get to the point where where he is. But but

721
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: you know, I just had to go out to the

722
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: house run some routes. It is true. I wish we had, uh,

723
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: mister Garrett on the talk a little bit about that.

724
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: That'd be nice. He's watching tape. But I think that

725
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: it's hard to compare that to Miles, because Miles it

726
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 1: took him at while. He didn't he just kind of

727
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: blew up there in Kansas City that day. And that

728
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: was and I don't did you see that coming now?

729
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 1: That to me will go down as one of the

730
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: top five games of all time. No, did you see

731
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: Miles Austin coming out the years before that? Did you

732
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: see anything in him that said, man, I think this

733
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: guy really had no if he can ever get over

734
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: the this. A week before that, I was like, this guy,

735
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: get him out of here. The week before it was Denver.

736
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: I guess he didn't play. Well, it's like, what are

737
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: they still doing with this guy? And then he had

738
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: to start a game and then he just had two

739
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: fifty and another dumb we've been and then he was

740
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: off and running off and running for two or three years. Literally,

741
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: we've been I mean, we've been saying that since the

742
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: draft really and it's a good comparison though it's well,

743
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: the well he has that body, right, he's he's got

744
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: He's baby Deaz, That's what I'm trying to say. And

745
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous for me to say that his ceiling is

746
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: eighty nine catches, eleven hundred yards and sixteen touchdowns, which

747
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: for three or four years there, that's what Dez was

748
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: reeling off. But he's that type of receiver, like he's

749
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: he's not the eighty yard Antonio Brown guy. He's the

750
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: red zone mismatch. And we saw him make some plays

751
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: like that in training camp. We saw him make some

752
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: plays like that in the preseason where I think it

753
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 1: was the rams where he just shook off a bunch

754
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: of tacklers probably would have gone to the house if

755
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: he hadn't just had a case of the whoopsies fumble. Yeah,

756
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,959
Speaker 1: just randomly fumbled it. But he is a big body

757
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: like he can box defensive backs out, he can go

758
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: up and high point the ball. He's a good blocker like.

759
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: I think he could be a receiver in that des mold.

760
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: Whether he'll ever reach All Pro status, who the hell knows,

761
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: but he has that type of potential to be that

762
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: type of player. We'll take our final break and come back.

821
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: really don't like referring to them as the boys. I

822
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: don't like that. No, I didn't work weeding boys a nuts. Okay,

823
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: all right, um yeah, so um let's get back to

824
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: the game. Here the midseason review. Here's our final question

825
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: of the game. Uh, it is the question of who

826
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: has been the MVP for the Cowboys during the first

827
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: half of the season. Here your candidates, Zeke Elliott, Dak

828
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: Prescott to Marcus Lawrence and Sean Lee. Try to think

829
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: about this and don't take the obvious answer. Well, to

830
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: go with Dak. He's the most valuable player. I mean

831
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: I was talking about this earlier this morning. Aaron Rodgers

832
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: is the NFL's MVP. There's no doubt about it. You

833
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: can't see what's going on here. He is the MV

834
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: as we saw with Manning years ago when this team

835
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: just fell apart. But they don't. They don't. That's not

836
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 1: what they want to give it to. It's like who's

837
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: having the best year? I get it, But so thinking

838
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: about that from that standpoint, though, MVP most your bull player, man,

839
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: who's provided the most of this team in the first

840
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: half of us Oh, that's a different question, is it,

841
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: Because if you're talking about who's been most valuable, then

842
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: it's probably the guy that if he's provided the most.

843
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 1: Take him away and you probably don't win the five

844
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: games you've I would say I'm going with Dad just

845
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: based on the circumstances, like the things he's been able

846
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: to do given the scenario that he's been put in.

847
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: That's the only reason I'm not saying, like I wouldn't

848
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: call it MVP necessarily. But but but you know what,

849
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 1: you make a good point, and the Cowboys are lucky

850
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 1: that they haven't had to see that, because when you

851
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: talk about drop off from Morris, I mean from Zeke

852
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: to Morris. We haven't seen it yet, but you know,

853
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: I think they could. They could manage it, and I

854
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: think that I'll be able to manage it. You know,

855
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: with Shawn Lee, they really couldn't manage it. But Cooper

856
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 1: Rush is one play away, So I think actually the

857
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: answer is Dak. I want to say Zeke, And my

858
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: logic here is like, okay, well, Zeke can be the

859
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: first half MVP, and Dak is about to have a

860
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 1: chance to make his case probably if Zeke is suspended

861
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys keep role, and then Dak is going

862
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: to get all of the credit in the world and

863
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: justifiably so m he could in the league if he

864
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: keeps playing this way without Zeke and gets the Cowboys

865
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. If he's not in consideration, that's a travesty.

866
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: I want to say Zeke in the first half, but

867
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: I don't think I even believe that, because I'm sitting

868
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: here all right. They've won five games, and every single

869
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: one when Zeke had a good game, it also was

870
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,919
Speaker 1: dependent on Dak playing pretty damn well. And I'm even thinking,

871
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: you know, Arizona, did they win that game because of

872
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 1: Zeke or was it was it Dak? It was Dak, Bryce, well,

873
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 1: Bryce too, but somebody had to throw those passes exact

874
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: But how much does how much? Does? I know what

875
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 1: you're saying, and I agree with it, but just to

876
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: play Devil's advocate here, how much of that is, though,

877
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: dependent on the fact that the defense. The opposing defense

878
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: really creates their opportunities created because of Zeke being in

879
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: the backfield. Yeah, but remember how the Cowboys offensive line

880
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: was struggling. Even with those struggles, we've seen Dak being

881
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 1: able to still keep the game going and get away

882
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: and run and make the right moves that he should

883
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: be making in order to keep the offense going. So

884
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: that's why I'm saying like in that case, because again, Zeke,

885
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: you expect him to be great. You expect him he

886
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 1: goes up against the wall and he's gonna get those

887
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: extra yards and he's great little yards, but they all

888
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: add up at the end of the day. Again, Dad,

889
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: we talked about his sophomore year, let's call it that way.

890
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: Whether he was gonna have a slump, is that what

891
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: you guys call it slump or not? And he hasn't.

892
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: He's been great given the what has been happening to

893
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: this team so far. Yeah, they really do go hand

894
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 1: in hand. And I get what you're saying, and I

895
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: I say it all the time like that. My analogy

896
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 1: is that like Zeke is the engine of the car.

897
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: He I mean, everything runs through him. He's the horsepower.

898
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 1: But you still need a driver to drive the car

899
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: and have it make the right decisions and go in

900
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: the right places. And Dak has been so amazing at that.

901
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: And this is such a quarterback dependent league, I'm just

902
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: always inclined to give the nod toward the quarterback if

903
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: you just had to right now, you have to give

904
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: a six game suspension to one of them? Who are

905
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: you giving it to? There? You go, yeah, I mean,

906
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: it's a no question, all right. But but I also

907
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 1: but but but wait, but let's take it back one step.

908
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 1: We started this conversation talking about Sean Lee and how

909
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: important he was to this defense. Does this thing continue

910
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 1: to go, Well, if he's not a part of give

911
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 1: it you give your suspension to him, then you gotta

912
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 1: give one out to somebody that no, it's not you,

913
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: not me. You gotta give you a suspension out to somebody.

914
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: I mean, And then maybe that's not fair because the

915
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys have padded this running back position with a full

916
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: of really good expectation and they haven't done that at

917
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 1: quarterback obviously, So you know that might be the drop off.

918
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 1: But you know, we could be one growing injury away

919
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: from having a different person in here. If chas Green

920
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: can't block on Sunday. Good point if Tyren Smith is out,

921
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: so we might have some complete different answer there. Yeah,

922
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. No, I'm just gonna say I do think

923
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 1: that there needs to be a little bit more thought

924
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: they're given to Shan Lee, just because I do believe.

925
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: I don't know that they win that game against Kansas City.

926
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: You guys just said they probably win the games against

927
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 1: maybe Green Bay or the Rams if they have him

928
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,479
Speaker 1: out there. I don't think they necessarily win against Kansas City.

929
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: I don't think they stopped that offense the way they

930
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: did without Sean Lee. Everything you said is true, But

931
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 1: this is a this is a middling team without Sean Lee.

932
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: But their offense is still good enough to give them

933
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: an edge in a solid chunk of their games until

934
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,240
Speaker 1: they face better offenses. Yeah, this team is hopelessly lost

935
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: without Like they're only as good as their offense is

936
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: going to be. That's all that. That's that, that's just

937
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: that's it. That's the bottom line, and so you go,

938
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: I'm always going to give deference to and we're talking

939
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: about something that we haven't seen. Thankfully we haven't seen

940
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: dak Be you know, out of the game. But I

941
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 1: will say, in a weird way, this sounds counterintuitive and bad,

942
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: and I get that, like kind of intrigued to see

943
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: what this will look like If Zeke isn't there, I

944
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: would prefer to not have to deal with that. But

945
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: with that, like that's just something that's on the docket,

946
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: and we all think there's a pretty good chance he's

947
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: gonna be going away. Let's talk about with that in mind,

948
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: I'm kind of intrigued to see, you know, put even

949
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: more on dak shoulders. I want to see what it

950
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: looks like. I wish I could see it without accounting. Yeah, yeah,

951
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: that would be run out there and run it through

952
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: and then afterwards the game doesn't well you know this,

953
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: Uh this past game against the Chiefs, I was thinking,

954
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 1: and why aren't they running the ball more? I would

955
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: expect him to have tried to run the ball more.

956
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: But then I was really happy they didn't because we

957
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 1: got a chance to see what it would be like

958
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: with Dak kind of having the receivers more involved, and

959
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: they were able to do so with having Zeke kind

960
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 1: of like as a cushion in the back and as

961
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: a support. Now, maybe with Zeke away, they're able to

962
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: still keep that going what No, I was gonna ask

963
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: I'm asking you a follow up question that go ahead. No,

964
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: do you think that that was because the game plan?

965
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 1: Does that represent the game plan before they knew about

966
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: Zeke that they were gonna say, Hey, we're going in

967
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 1: and we're gonna put this more on Dak, then we

968
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: will on the running game. And they just didn't change

969
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: it once Zeke was back. It probably did, and we

970
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: talked about that before going into the face. I'm just like,

971
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: y'all are making it sound like Zeke had ten carries. No,

972
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 1: but they threw the ball more than they ran the

973
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: ball this game. It was thirty three to thirty one,

974
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: So he carried the ball twenty seven times. I understand that.

975
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm just saying when you talk about the disparity of

976
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: running versus passing, usually in most games the Cowboys are

977
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,919
Speaker 1: a run heavy team. They were not a run heavy

978
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: team this week. I get what you're saying, but I don't.

979
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: I mean, ze Zeke carried the ball twenty seven times

980
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: like he was still I didn't. I it's it's it's okay,

981
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: it's fifty two forty eight, Like, yeah, that's outside of

982
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 1: their that's outside of their tendency, but it's not so

983
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: weird that it's like this crazy out no, no, no.

984
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: But but I do think just that one play in

985
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: the second drive when it was third and one, or

986
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 1: was it maybe the first drive of the game was

987
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: third and one, and he just goes back to throw it,

988
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 1: and I was like, why aren't we giving the ball

989
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: to Zeke here? Like I mean that play I remember,

990
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: but I don't remember a lot others of like why

991
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: aren't they running it? But when we talked about yesterday,

992
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: both those two touchdown drives that they had, the first

993
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: two touchdown drives, they had six passes to one run. Now,

994
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: of course, the last one that was in a one

995
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: minute fifty one minute thirty something seconds left in a half,

996
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:48,439
Speaker 1: so of course they're gonna be throwing more than they're

997
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 1: gonna be running. But that first one that happened earlier

998
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 1: in the game, there was not a time situation, and

999
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,439
Speaker 1: they threw the ball six times and ran it once.

1000
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: Like that's not typical of the Cowboys offense. And that's

1001
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: my point is there were moments in that game that

1002
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 1: didn't seem typical, and it does make me wonder, I

1003
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: know what you're saying, yes, they ran Zeke a ton

1004
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: of times, and that more importantly, like they didn't pull

1005
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: him out, which they usually do, especially in that third

1006
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: series of the game. They did not do that. But

1007
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: all that being said, I do think there was a

1008
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: difference in how they call that game than they typically

1009
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: call games. In my opinion, I think, man, you might

1010
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: be right. I can't say that you're definitively wrong, but

1011
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: it's not enough to where I'm convinced. I think Garrett

1012
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: would probably say something like WHOA, each game is different

1013
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: in the situation You've already told us that process. He

1014
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: will say things that you don't necessarily believe every day

1015
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,919
Speaker 1: that really doesn't matter. But I don't know I would.

1016
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: I don't. That's not enough of a discrepancy that I'm

1017
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,280
Speaker 1: jumping onto this thought. Probably, So let me ask that question,

1018
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: and I'll just ask you the question in this coming week.

1019
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: Let's assume for a second we get to the week

1020
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: end and Zeke is not available to the Cowboys. Do

1021
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 1: you expect this to be a team where they become

1022
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:58,320
Speaker 1: now more dependent on the past than the run. No? No,

1023
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 1: I honestly, I okay, You're right. I don't always believe

1024
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: everything Jason Garrett says, but I do believe him when

1025
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 1: he says that they're not going to change a whole

1026
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 1: lot about what they do just because Zeke's not there

1027
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 1: until it has proven that they have to, Like they're

1028
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 1: gonna make these teams prove that Rod Smith, Alfred Morris

1029
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: and Darren McFadden can't hurt him. Before that, they just

1030
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: drastically like, all right, we're it's twenty twelve. That order

1031
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: Dack's throwing sixty times. No, not at but maybe I

1032
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,359
Speaker 1: mean it'll it'll be come down to who's who's doing

1033
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,319
Speaker 1: the best in the you know, the second half. Maybe

1034
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: it is Rod Smith. Alfred Morris looked like he really

1035
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: wanted to keep running after that one. Yeah, yeah, he

1036
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 1: just took that Linebacker's like, what's we're going. We're getting

1037
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: a first down either you can grab me all you want,

1038
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,359
Speaker 1: but we're gonna get eleven yards. It don't really care

1039
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: what you do. Like he looked that looked like a

1040
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: Zeke type of run. I'm so fascinated, Like all three

1041
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,839
Speaker 1: of those guys, like you know, you know, they love

1042
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: their teammate, you know that they want what's best for

1043
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: the team. But like they want to play and and

1044
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: like I'm not saying they're like mad at Zeke or

1045
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: but mad at the situation, but like that's gotta be

1046
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 1: tough on them too, that like, you know, you think

1047
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: you're getting your chance. You're like it's like and this

1048
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 1: offensive line, it's like you're trying to get into a

1049
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,879
Speaker 1: Cadillac and they're like, wait a second, hang on, we're

1050
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: not done with the paperwork yet. Like they want to

1051
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: run behind this line just as much as anybody else. Yeah,

1052
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: poor mcfad and he was gonna get a game, we

1053
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 1: actually could play football, right, and then all of a sudden,

1054
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: it's like, nah, you're going to be an active again.

1055
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 1: I think if they get a chance to do their stuff,

1056
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're gonna, you know, redefine the running

1057
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 1: back position, but I think they're like pissed off and

1058
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 1: want to show people that they they're talented to I'll

1059
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,439
Speaker 1: say this, after watching last game, I feel a little

1060
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: bit more I guess less worried to see the Cowboys

1061
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: play without Zeke, like what they can possibly do without

1062
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: having him. I'm I'm feeling a little more confident about

1063
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: this team with you know, doing his app because it

1064
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 1: was solid balance. And let me go back to this

1065
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: thing I wanted to talk about. Actually what I oh?

1066
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 1: And another thing, No, I guess defensive sometimes, but I

1067
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: don't know exactly how I worded it yesterday, but I

1068
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: started getting some messages from people, Oh, I'm so negative,

1069
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: and do you even watch the games? Yes? I watch

1070
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: every single game. I'm at every single game. Yes, My

1071
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 1: point yesterday was I don't think the Cowboys offense suck

1072
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: at all. They've been what it's fair to say average,

1073
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 1: averaging like thirty points a game or so something like that,

1074
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:37,919
Speaker 1: but they've been very, very good at scoring points. They've

1075
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 1: been good at the running game. Again, my point yesterday

1076
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: was saying that it was to me, at least the

1077
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: first time I saw them be successful as successful successful

1078
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 1: at the passing game as they were compared to every

1079
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 1: other game that we've seen. Yes, they've thrown the ball,

1080
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: Yes they made some good catches here and there, but

1081
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: they weren't very consistent at it. And this was the

1082
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 1: one time that I thought they were actually able to

1083
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: have it more consistent. And the interesting part about that point,

1084
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 1: Amber is that it's not just Dak, it's the receivers

1085
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 1: like until this last game, have you seen a game

1086
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,760
Speaker 1: this year where you had the full compliment of receivers

1087
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 1: being a part of the game and really making plays

1088
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: that made a difference. Terrence Williams obviously in what he did,

1089
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley with two touchdowns, Dez catching some balls across

1090
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 1: the middle, which I think he's probably best at, and

1091
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 1: they don't seem to find him all the time in

1092
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: those situations. You know, I just think that it goes

1093
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 1: back to what you were saying. I don't think they've

1094
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 1: really gotten into a game this year where all those

1095
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 1: things clicked like they should have, certainly like they did

1096
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: last year, because I think they had several games last

1097
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: year where they had a compliment of guys all clicking

1098
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: in the passing game with the running game. How about

1099
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: this that I told you right before, And you're right,

1100
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 1: the passing game has not been there. I don't believe

1101
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: Dak has a three hundred yard game yet. And the

1102
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 1: first one hundred yard receiving game was Terrence Williams, who

1103
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: would have won that bet. But the Cowboys have tied

1104
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:05,360
Speaker 1: this team's This offense has tied the franchise record for

1105
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 1: most consecutive games of twenty eight points or more was six.

1106
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: It happened in two thousand and seven. It's pretty good

1107
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: offense right there, with Romo, Tarrell Owens and those guys

1108
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 1: Marion Barber so set they had six games of twenty

1109
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: eight points or more. This one's already there and has

1110
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 1: a chance this week to pass that and might need,

1111
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 1: might need to get there against Atlanta to get seven straight.

1112
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: So that just goes to show that this offense, and

1113
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 1: some of its been defense and turnovers, but how this

1114
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,359
Speaker 1: offense has turned in around and you can't just take

1115
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: it away. I get that. But outside of one just

1116
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,839
Speaker 1: abysmally horrific day in Denver for everybody involved. I mean,

1117
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 1: they've been on a role all year and they read

1118
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:47,919
Speaker 1: zone problems against the Giants, but they put up twenty

1119
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: eight against the Cardinals, put up thirty against the Rams,

1120
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 1: thirty one against the Pack. I mean they Denver is

1121
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: really the only team that just completely stopped him from

1122
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 1: doing what they wanted to do. It's amazing that they

1123
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: did that, and now they are the team that they are.

1124
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: Paul's weird like that man, like they have just completely

1125
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 1: fallen off the map after a start like they had

1126
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,359
Speaker 1: where the two Batman back wins, including the big win

1127
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: of the counts. You know it all those first four

1128
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: or five games, Um, you know, Packers was the fifth game,

1129
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:17,800
Speaker 1: But when you think about it, two of those games

1130
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: they had they got to play against the team missing

1131
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 1: their best offensive player in Odell Beckham and David Johnson.

1132
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: And then you know, but they have to face a

1133
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:30,399
Speaker 1: Denver team now that's not playing like that now Green

1134
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 1: Bays certainly not playing like they are now, and we

1135
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: know why. So just kind of works out that way

1136
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 1: as a schedule of the NFL, right yea. And that's

1137
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 1: the other thing that makes you feel pretty good about

1138
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 1: where the Cowboys are at this moment. Now that can

1139
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 1: all change, but at this moment, they've been one of

1140
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,839
Speaker 1: the healthier teams in the NFL, and so that they

1141
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: have not had that major injury that somebody's gonna miss

1142
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:53,839
Speaker 1: the play somebody's gonna miss the playoffs by a game,

1143
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 1: you know, and I can't think who would be, but

1144
00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 1: but somebody's gonna have to face Zeke and lose. And

1145
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, he was supposed supposed to be suspended for

1146
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:04,880
Speaker 1: these six, but then it's gonna be the six and

1147
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:08,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna work out, probably bad for somebody,

1148
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:10,839
Speaker 1: maybe for the Cowboys. You know, maybe it was Kansas City.

1149
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 1: I mean, that's like Kansas City, if right. If he

1150
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: gets suspended at this point, basically you said it last week,

1151
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 1: Oakland becomes the benefactor because now he got to play

1152
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 1: against Kansas City, and then he would miss the game

1153
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 1: versus Oakland, so and that affects their division on that

1154
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,359
Speaker 1: timeline as well. Then he comes back just in time

1155
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 1: to play the Seahawks, who you would imagine or scrapping

1156
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 1: for a playoff spot as well. Right, So, I mean

1157
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 1: it fascinating little jigsaw puzzle. All right, we appreciate you
