I can't believe they're outside 41 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: practicing right now. No, they need to practice outside. They 42 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: need to play football. Used to it. No, you know 43 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: what though the coach is set. I know you're probably 44 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: gonna get into this, Tay, but listen to the head 45 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: coach talk. He's gonna go try and win a football game. 46 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: He should because you have to have a winning season, 47 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: because if you don't, you're gonna sit there at eight 48 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 1: and eight for the rest of the off season. Yeah, 49 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: knowing that you're super Bowl hopes and dreams at the 50 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: start of the season long gone. Well, maybe some of 51 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: it not at their own doing. You know, what do 52 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: you mean the whole thing with the suspension with Elliott 53 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: you figure, you know, Mickey, we were trying to talk 54 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: about how many more games would it mean? It mean one, 55 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: two more games, you know, maybe a little bit different, 56 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: maybe not being three and three, maybe being four and two. 57 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: A couple of things your way. In a couple of 58 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: losses they had all of a sudden, you're looking at 59 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: ten eleven wins. I just think, you know, that's the 60 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: thing about what happens is that it's amazing to me 61 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: and I've I've accused the fans of this waiting with 62 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: pitchforks and torches at the gates ready to storm. I 63 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: liked your tweet this morning after that you know, I 64 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: missed it. What was it? Yeah? Just what he said? 65 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah yeah, pitchforks and torches, you know. And 66 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: and it's amazing, you know, and Nicky likes to use 67 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: the line. Well, they hadn't. They didn't get this dumb 68 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: just overnight. And and you know, talk about the players. 69 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: You talk about Prescott, sure, I mean he saved your rear. 70 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: The start the season had really kind of an off middle, 71 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: didn't have the running back. The offense is built around 72 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: Elliott the way it is, you know, And we didn't 73 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: consider a sophomore sump for a dack. I don't you know. 74 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: I didn't. I was one of these guys, and I 75 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: don't know about anybody else. I think you guys were 76 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: pretty consistent about this when we're coming out of Oxnard, 77 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: that there wouldn't be a slump because of the weapons 78 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: around him. But did the weapon around him help him 79 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: this year? You know, Mickey talks about the offensive line. 80 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: Was it really one of the best offensive lines? No? 81 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: You know, was their lack of the running game? Yeah? 82 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: For six weeks there really was, I mean that that 83 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: dynamic player to run the football. Remember after DeMarco Murray 84 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: left and it was the twenty fifteen season. It was 85 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: the four and twelfth season ever, and said, well, they've 86 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: got they've got the old line. They can place, plug 87 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: and play anything in there, and then it feels almost 88 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: very similar with this year, except vice versa. It was like, well, 89 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: they have the running back, they can almost plug anyone 90 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: in there on that old line, right, and it will 91 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: kind of be the same. And it was not. It's 92 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: a threat. They were able to run the ball. The 93 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: threat that Elliott presents is difficult to deal with if 94 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: you're an opponent, and we saw that the other day 95 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: with Seattle to a point and then all of a sudden, 96 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: then you got behind in the game and now you 97 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: had to start throwing the football to try and get 98 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: back in it. I really look at the season in 99 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: like three different chunk. We talked about the first month 100 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: of the season where they played some really good fronts 101 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: defensive right that they struggled with and you could say 102 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: the offensive line didn't play up to their standard. They 103 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: were really challenged in those games. And then you start 104 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: looking at Green Bay, San Francisco, Washington, Kansas City, when 105 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: they got things rolling up front, they got things rolling 106 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: with the running game, Dak. Let's not forget Dak was 107 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: terrific there in that stretch, and all of a sudden 108 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: it looked like this team's a contender again. They started 109 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,559 Speaker 1: looking like the offense that we were accustomed to lasting. 110 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: And then the court stepped in exactly and well, both 111 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: this and Sean Lee hurt too. You're right. Day it 112 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: was like it was like being on that ride in 113 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: the fair the bottom falls out. Yeah, well stick to 114 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: the wall and you keep spinning. Yes, that was kind 115 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: of the perfect storm. And then they went through that 116 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: lull where they didn't adapt well or maybe it's just 117 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,559 Speaker 1: a reality without without those guys got it turned around 118 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: and then looked they lost. They lost a difficult game 119 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: the other day. Zeke Back thought he played well, there 120 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: were some things you talked about in blitz protection. Okay, 121 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: maybe that's some rust. Yeah, it's not all on him. 122 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: But they just they just beat themselves. They turned the 123 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: ball over too much the other day and it cost them. 124 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: But have they been perfect offensively with all their pieces. No, 125 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: but it's never a perfect season as it is. This 126 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: is silly, so bear with me on this question. But 127 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: if you could go back, you know, we talk a 128 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: lot about losses. You could get back and forth, and 129 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: it is what it is with the ezy gilia suspension. 130 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: He missed the games he missed, and we are where 131 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: we're at. But would you have rather him, knowing what 132 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: you just said, how this team kind of got on 133 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: the role, would you have rather him do that sixth 134 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: game suspension right away? Get it done? I think what 135 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: game would you have come back for? It would have 136 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: been the October twenty ninth game, I believe San Francisco 137 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: y San Francisco or Washington on the road. San Francisco 138 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: was the seventh game. He would have been back at Washington. 139 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: At Washington. Yeah, so say he's back there, and then 140 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: the rest of the season, I mean, you go on 141 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: a run hopefully or at least you've figured out different things. 142 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: What do you think? That's a great question. They went 143 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: what four and two during that six game stretch? Yeah 144 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: with him? Okay, so they went three and three without him. Yeah, 145 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: it's one game difference, right game difference? Yeah? Where yet 146 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: right now? One game outlay, one game off. I don't 147 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: know if there's any guarantees. Yeah, it's look at our 148 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: question if you want to look at itselfish, But you 149 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: got to look at it from his standpoint. Yeah, Oh no, 150 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: I agree. I'm not I'm not saying anything about him. 151 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, timing of the season is 152 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: so can I can I interject and maybe it? Can 153 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: I interject another thought? Were they too late to adjust 154 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: to the young defensive backs, adjusting which sense play the 155 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: young defensive backs? Or I mean, I know a Woozier 156 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: was trying to practice, actually missed a couple of games 157 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: while he was got hurt in Denver, right, and then 158 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: actually got hurt in Green Bay, and then got hurt 159 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: again in Green Bay, got hurt again Bay. Yeah, But 160 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,559 Speaker 1: but were they could they when he was coming back? 161 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: Were they? Were they? Should they have? Should they have 162 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: made a switch? Should they have thought about a different 163 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,239 Speaker 1: plan of attack? Again, I'm just asking because it looks 164 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: like with that switch, or with the secondary switch with 165 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: Shaun Lee, with Hitchens, they've kind of found them. They 166 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: found themselves defensively a little bit. But remember they had 167 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: brought him back twice. The Green Bay game he got 168 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: and it failed, right, And so when they brought him 169 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: back the third time, it was like, let's not give 170 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: him a heavy load. It wasn't going to corner, so 171 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: he played two games of special teams before he took 172 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: over at left. See, that's what I'm saying, though he 173 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: was he was actually available. I want to say before 174 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: they they put him out there at Washington. You know that. 175 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: That's That's all I'm saying. Should they have made the 176 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: switch a little earlier. It's a good thought. I mean, 177 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a good thought at all. No, No, 178 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, though it is. I think we're we're 179 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: all we're all focusing on the offense. Yeah, but could 180 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 1: the defense again, they've played through the winning streak and 181 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: then the last week. I mean, it couldn't have gone 182 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: any better for them last week the way they played 183 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: Seattle defense, and they did they did, and we talk 184 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,839 Speaker 1: about a Woozier and then they had the one drive 185 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: and the PI and stuff. That was a terrible call. Yeah, 186 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you, But I'm just saying, though, when 187 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: you when you're dealing with you know that was that 188 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 1: was a game there where I'm looking at Hi, I'm 189 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: going Mike, Gosh, your defense played well enough to win 190 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 1: this that you had. You had a chance if you 191 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: get that touchdown if Dak somehow gets the ball to Beasley, 192 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: and then I think, if I'm Jason Garrett, I click 193 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: over and say, guys, just you know, Rod, get me 194 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: a stop here, Just get me a stop, you know, 195 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: because you got to feel good about the way the defense. 196 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 1: I mean, if they were gonna put the game in 197 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 1: the defense's hands, that they got that score, then I 198 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: think I think he might have won that football game. 199 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: I wrote about it yesterday. The last time they lost, 200 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: they lost a game allowing that few of yardage was 201 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: like two thousand and five, where one hundred and thirty 202 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: six total yards. And that's the second time twenty fourteen. 203 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: They played Russell Wilson really tough too. Yeah, didn't allow much. Yeah, 204 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: they've done a nice job of playing being disciplined against him. 205 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: And yeah, Rod's got a good plan against him. Yeah, 206 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: and the and the the guys were rushing at the 207 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: proper depth. They gave the Seahawks defensive line a lot 208 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: of problems. You guys were tackling, you know, you guys 209 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 1: were covering, covering on the outside. Biggest play they had 210 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: and they're a chunk play team, was twenty yards, I believe, 211 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: And that was after that was after I should have 212 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: been a holding call on Taco. Tacco clearly beats ia 213 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: Fetti to the to the around the corner official standing 214 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: right there. You know, he gets the gets to pull 215 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 1: down right, you know, and they don't get the call. 216 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: Now again, that happens. You're not going to get every call. 217 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: But that was the That was the biggest play they 218 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: made in the game. And a funny thing on that 219 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: play was Trey Aikman said, even though i Fetti turned 220 00:10:55,280 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: around like he was surprised, he was expecting, but how 221 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: obvious it was. I just wonder, I wonder if the 222 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: if they go with the if they went with the 223 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: young kids trainer's decision. I see, Okay, that's that's fair. 224 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: I see your point. That was the influence on let's 225 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: not give him the whole load. That's that's that's fair. 226 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: But you're right, if they had had the opportunity to 227 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: do it right, sees, young kids have played really well 228 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 1: because you wasted time with um well Anthony Brown was 229 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: oh not Anthony Brown who started off and then he 230 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: got hurt. Oh h Nolan Carroll and Carroll right, but see, 231 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: Oozie would have beaten no out. I think Oozie would 232 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: have beaten him out if he was healthy, Like right 233 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: from the start. See, the thing was everybody was really 234 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: high on I'm talking about everyone high. I'm talking about 235 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: everybody on the opposite side of the building from us. 236 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: They were Saint Brian watch Jordan Lewis, Watch Jordan Lewis. 237 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: See to me, it seemed like Jordan Lewis was initially 238 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: their candidate, that he was the guy that had the 239 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: first round ability, that they were that they got the 240 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 1: third round steal. Yeah, So I don't know if you 241 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: look at the season, was it really the six games 242 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: with Elliott. I think that was huge, no doubt, But 243 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: we're could they've made some adjustments defensively from what we've 244 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: seen right now to even help them even more. Injuries 245 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: definitely prevented them from executing their plan with that too. 246 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: But but do your point. I see your point about 247 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: the young dbs. But Mickey, I agree with Mickey there 248 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: in that they wanted to make sure when Chito came back, 249 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 1: oh there's no questions, not a third, no question reaggravation 250 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: and then he's done for the season when you don't 251 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: see basically all his rookie year, right, So they want 252 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: to be certain hundred ten percent when he came back, 253 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: and he came back and played awfully. Well, you know 254 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: everybody wants to talk about Okay, he gave up the touchdown. Oh, 255 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: I love the kid. I mean he played hard and 256 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: and and that call in the end zone was bs 257 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: because if anything, you can call holding, the ball was 258 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: not in the air, so you can't call interference. Right. 259 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: How do those guys make mistakes like that? Officials? Yes, 260 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 1: it's part of their job. I meant, yeah, it's it's 261 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: part of the pre record, so you have to, Hey, 262 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: come on, make mistakes. But no to me, I I 263 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 1: just kind of I mean, you do the autopsy of 264 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: the season. Where are you where are you looking at? 265 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: What are you saying? Okay, this this should have been 266 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: you know what could they have done differently? Okay? Here 267 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,599 Speaker 1: it is and this is and I think this is. 268 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: This is the cork that fell through the bottle. Oh boy, 269 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: that's a bad situa. That's a bad also. It'll also 270 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: ruin an offense. The backup swing tackle. Yeah, totally failed 271 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: on it. Now, I can't criticize him for thinking Chaz 272 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 1: Green could do it because we saw him do it. 273 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: That's that's a fair point. That's a fair point. But 274 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: when he failed, there was no way Byron Bell was 275 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: going to hang in there. And I heard you watching 276 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 1: that tape yesterday. There were a lot of yelling going 277 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: on over there. He single handedly caused three or four 278 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: like critical plays in that game because he couldn't block 279 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: the guy who couldn't stand in front of him and 280 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: not get pushed back into the quarterback. Right. It was 281 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: just awful. So we talk about Sean Lee, we talked 282 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: about Ezekiel Elliott, talk about not having Tyron Smith out there. Yeah, 283 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: they survived one game without him, the Raiders all the 284 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: rest of them they lost. Yeah. Yeah. In the past 285 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: few years, who has been the best swing tackle? You 286 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: think that this team has been able to kind of 287 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: manage when Tyrn has been interr out because he's miss 288 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: games last yeas well. Nikki's right though last year. But 289 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: but then Jeremy Parnell who left to go to Jacksonville, 290 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: who I was watching Jacksonville and Seattle tape again, is 291 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: he still starting? He still starting right tackle for Jacksonville 292 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: shocks me. Yeah, But Jeremy Parnell was a guy that 293 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: least you can but Jeremy Parnell played when Tyron Smith 294 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: was not available. I mean, I want to say that 295 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,359 Speaker 1: Jeremy Parnell in a in a key game at Cincinnati, 296 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: the game that Jerry Brown game. Jeremy Parnell had to 297 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: play that game too. Well, it's not just the swing 298 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: tackles situation, because offensive line in general. Well, yeah, because 299 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: Chaz Green was your starting left guard going into the 300 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: start of preseason, not just your swing tackle. So you 301 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: can argue, all right, and he got hurt hurt, and 302 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: did lack of reps focusing on guard affect him when 303 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: he switched to tackle? Did he need more work that 304 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: you just need to stay over there to start? But 305 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: they wanted to get their best five starting on the 306 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: Can I take that a little further? Was it a 307 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: mis evaluation of taking reps making him play guard? Or 308 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: was that the Brian broad us to get my best 309 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: five out there. That's that's my question. I think it 310 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: was the best five. Yeah, And they didn't have any 311 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: confidence in Cooper, And you know, as it went around along, 312 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: Cooper was okay, he wasn't. I don't know that they 313 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: sink their teeth into him going forward. Now, I don't 314 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: know what you do. But you know he had his 315 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: missteps too. What was Leary's final number on it? Five 316 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: million a year? I was just gonna say, this is 317 00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: all run Leary's phone. No, no, no, I'm just at 318 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: because shouldn't let him go? Was it a five year deal? 319 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: Thirty some millions? So it's six million to season then, 320 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: so they weren't gonna pay that. See, I'm siner thinking 321 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: who could I have sacrificed to make sure I had 322 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: Ron Larry play with? The fans are screaming right now, 323 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: Terrence Williams, Terrence Williams. But this is that enough money 324 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: to get? Is that enough money to get that done? 325 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: Three years? Thirty six million? Yeah, with a three point 326 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: five signing bonus, average salary of nine million, and he 327 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: had eighteen million guarantee. An't do it? Don't get can 328 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: do it? You extended Lyle Collins in training camp, and 329 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: don't forget that this summer will have Martin. You're expecting that, 330 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: You're you're very hopefully you're gonna get something done with 331 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: with Martin too, So like, how much money do you 332 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: want to spend five linemen? I don't know. Was the 333 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: guard more of a problem than the swing tackle. You 334 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: say it's a swing tackle. I say it's a swing tackle. 335 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: But then they're next to each other. I'm saying, I'm 336 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: saying that, yeah, swing tackle. But where Chaz moonlighted? A 337 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: guard influenced situation? Are we worried to try to fit 338 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: him into two spots? Really left side? Are we worried 339 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: about seventy seven going forward? I don't know if I'm 340 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: worried about him, but I think that you need and look, 341 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: both of your tackles had problems this year with oh 342 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: no health, right, yeah, yeah, so you need somebody yeah 343 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 1: and not just anybody? Yeah, all right? And I don't 344 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: know if you find that in free agency or if 345 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: you you know, can find a to to find it 346 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: in the draft. You got them draft high and they 347 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: got too many other things. I think that if you 348 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 1: had the shot to draft at say sixteen and draft, well, 349 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: that's what you got in Zach Martin. Basically, would you 350 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: take another first round offensive lineman? Know in the situation 351 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: you're Mickey just told me I'm in dire straits, right, 352 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: let me let me. You have to tell me what 353 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: I'm passing up. I'm end okay, okay, I'm not you're 354 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: gonna miss out on a linebacker, and you're gonna miss 355 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: out on You're gonna miss out on a linebacker. You're 356 00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 1: gonna miss out on a receiver. I'll give you tho 357 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: to cornerback. No, no, I'm taking that. I'm gonna make 358 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: it hard on him. Here. You're missing out on you're 359 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: missing out on a linebacker, and you're missing out on 360 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: a receiver. By draft time, are they resigning Anthony Hitchins? No, 361 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,239 Speaker 1: he's gone. And I gotta take a linebacker that might 362 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: be your biggest need. Boy, did you just I mean 363 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: you just and look for that guard and it's tackle 364 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: and it's killing you right now, and yeah, it's killing it. 365 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: See you could go out and maybe get maybe go 366 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: get a guy, maybe the second best offensive tackle at sixteen. 367 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: Maybe you get the second best guy. Yeah see. And 368 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: I don't know because then can he play guard, because 369 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: he's gonna have to start if I take him. That 370 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: hire you go started like, yeah, Alaman Page, Yeah did 371 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: it with those guys They started at guard and then 372 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: moved out the tackle. Yeah, Scar see that's where that's 373 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: where business real quick, Tano, you're gonna moving along with 374 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 1: the show. I know, you're moving a show. Uh, but 375 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: would you now with with next fall, next spring, would 376 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: you start to work Zack Martin sum at tackle just 377 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:05,719 Speaker 1: to see with the idea of moving Collins to one 378 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: of the guard spots if if you cannot, would you 379 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: start to Yeah? I mean, I'm just saying, oh, would 380 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: you would you do if something happens again to turn Smith? 381 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,719 Speaker 1: Would you consider moving Zach Martin from left from right 382 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: guard to left tackle? He takes start seeing him get 383 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: work reps? Doesn't he take some reps every camp? A 384 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:31,239 Speaker 1: little bit more center? Yeah, I'm thinking center. Yeah. Um, well, 385 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: they've always had the thought that they could just move 386 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: him there in a pinch anyway, because he's Zach Martin. 387 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 1: He's Zach Martin. I'm trying to make a better swing 388 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: tackle for Mickey, but if he's not gonna let me 389 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: have Yeah, but he's not gonna let me draft one 390 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: because he needs a linebacker and they do need a linebacker. 391 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: Of Hitchens not there because you can't put all your 392 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: eggs in Jalen Smith's basket. See that, And it's the 393 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: same sentence, right, But it's also the same situation as Okay, 394 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: you're worried about potentially Tyron's long term health. If you 395 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,239 Speaker 1: are worried Sean Lee missed how many games this year, 396 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: it's it's Sean Lee, it's Jalen Smith. It's no Anthony Hitchens. 397 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: Potential loss of Hitchens, that that makes linebacker potentially your 398 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: biggest knee is yeah, because who else? Yeah, See, that's 399 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: what people ask me, they go give me, give me 400 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: your number one nee. I would say linebacker because of 401 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: just just what Rob said. I really don't know. Jason 402 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: Garrett talked about, you know, he feels like the health 403 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: of and everybody you talk to feels like Jalen Smith's 404 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: on the way up, right, That's fine. Yeah, so he's 405 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: on he say he's on the way up. And then 406 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: you don't have Hitchens and the health of Sean Lee. 407 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: And who's behind that. See that's what I'm saying. You're 408 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: you're a You're in a tough spot right there at linebacker. 409 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: Hitchens is a must. Hitchens is a must because if 410 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,479 Speaker 1: Sean Lee goes down, he can play that spot. Who 411 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna sacrifice, Mickey, We're gonna have to sacrifice, going 412 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: to break right now? I'm sorry, Well, I'm sorry. Here's 413 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: what you're about it. Here's what you aren't gonna do. 414 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: And you know that it sounds really cute to move 415 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: guys up from the practice squad to the fifty three. 416 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: Put somebody on ir Well, guess what, I know. It's 417 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: not a lot, but it's salary cap money. Oh sure 418 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 1: it is, and you can carry that over to next year, 419 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: right when you got to sign these guys. So let's 420 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: not frivolously spend fourteen fifteen million dollars just to have 421 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: a guy play one game.

He's out, Okay, okay, Smith 494 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: is out, all right, right, but you're in. You're in, 495 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: sean Lee out. You give shan Lee this game playing 496 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: through different things. Um, that's a good better not let 497 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: him get on the plane. Yeah, because he'll be wearing 498 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: his helmet and all of his pads and everything. You know, 499 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: you got to take Garrett to his word. Yeah, because 500 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: he's I don't think is he on the injury report. 501 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: He's been on the injury report. Any guy that's been 502 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: on the injury report I wonder about because like Lyle Collins, 503 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 1: Anthony Hitchins, those guys have played, but they've been like 504 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: dealing with stuff. And so for me, that's like the 505 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: domino effect. Is Mickey's right, Tyrn's not gonna play in 506 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: this game? Does Lyle Collins playing this game with a 507 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: back issue that he's been dealing with for a month. 508 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: But you're telling me that Dak's gonna play. So if 509 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna play Dak, you gotta be careful, That's what 510 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 1: I'm saying, because then you go into the game with 511 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,479 Speaker 1: one backup offensive lineman or you gotta move somebody up 512 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 1: onto the fifty three. Yeah, because you only got eight right, right, 513 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: Well you got I'm trying to think about I mean, 514 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: Joe Looney could play a couple of different spots for you. Yeah, 515 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: but that means Chaz Green and and Byron Bell or 516 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: brighton tackle right saying, there's there's this gray area of yeah, 517 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: and that's the case Cooper Rush's playing. There's this gray 518 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: area of yeah, you're kind of thought, so too, me 519 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: get out there. But can you play? You know, can 520 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: you can you really play if you absolutely need to? 521 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: And I I would air on the side of caution 522 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: with somebody like Lao Collins. Yeah, so how does that 523 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 1: affect your backfield and your quarterback? See it? It's just 524 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: it's just an interesting situation because I understand the thought 525 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 1: from Jason like we're gonna work like we're this game 526 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: matters and we're gonna approach it like any other week. Um, 527 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: how much roster movement do you think we'll see besides 528 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: of course the Justin Rant move we've already seen what 529 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: other things aren't doable? Or the one guy that I'm 530 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: hearing a lot of really positive things about is Lance Lenore, 531 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: the wide receiver. Now I know that doesn't click on 532 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: everybody's meter. But when they talk about practice squad guys, 533 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: and this is where I'm you know, you worry about 534 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: poaching and stuff. That's how the linebacker Johnson, that's what happened. 535 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: They were gonna poach. Somebody was going to poach him 536 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: off the team. And Justin Durant's not part of your plans. 537 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: You know, you go to Justin Durant, you shake his 538 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: hand and say, hey, thanks for all you've done for us, 539 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: and you move on. I think Justin Durant I think 540 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: he did Justin Durant a favor. You know, he's had 541 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: a he's had a really nice career. But you know 542 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: it's time. You know, you got to protect your players, 543 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 1: especially the guy that you've worked with all year long. 544 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: And but the name I've keep kind of hearing is 545 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: is Lance Lenore. And he's the one guy that gets 546 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 1: when they go when they go offensive snaps, he gets work. 547 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: You know, he's one of those guys. And then also 548 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: to White, the corner Marquez Quez White is another guy 549 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: that gets a lot of work with the defense. Will 550 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: they be on your forty six though game day? Well, 551 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: how you bump them up? And that gives him a 552 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,360 Speaker 1: little bumping. Well, if Bryce Butler's not mean, Bryce Butler's 553 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: been a scratch guy all week, you know he's out. Yeah, 554 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: so I mean that. That's where I mean if you 555 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: wanted to say, is there any rule about putting guys 556 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: on I R like for the last game of the season, 557 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: the Packers the Packers. Yeah, yeah, there's obviously no rules. 558 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: If the Packers did what they did. It just depends 559 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: on how much money you want to spend. And I 560 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: know it's in the scheme of things for a salary cap. 561 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 1: It's chump change if it's going to cost you another 562 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars per guy, right, But if it means 563 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 1: keeping their rights, by the way, I think you can 564 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: see they're gonna they're by the way. I heard today 565 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: that they are. So they got an open spot on 566 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 1: the practice squad, right they they were supposed to have 567 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: signed Katie Cannon, the wide receiver from Baylor, right. I 568 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: think he's been around, he's had some products, a lot 569 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: of speed, with the idea of signing him as the 570 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: futures for next year until the season ends. Yeah, when 571 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: the season ends on Tuesday, then that's when you'll see 572 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: all the futures they got all those contracts in the 573 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: file right now, ready to rule. So yeah, but but 574 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: the guy you mentioned, Lance Lenora's talking with Dak about him. Yeah, 575 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: he says he's my guy. Yeah, he really likes him, 576 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting. Remember remember Lance Lenora was Will 577 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: mcclay's guy. Yeah, remember coming, you know that that was 578 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: a guy that really will kind of target it as, Hey, 579 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go get this guy in the OTAs and 580 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: the mini camps and all that. We saw him work 581 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: in training camp. He's been on your practice squad squad 582 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: the entire year. But I was asking somebody about him 583 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: and they said, hey, this is a guy that actually 584 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: gets offensive snaps with and that's you know, when you're 585 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: you're getting your game plans ready every week. So he 586 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: was part of that, and that's that's because he had 587 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: been a draft choice. Do you think he makes the 588 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: fifty three instead of Noah Brown? Oh? I think? So 589 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: what's your deal with Noah Brown? I just think there's 590 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: a lot of hype about the guy. I state, I 591 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: didn't say I hate him. I just think he's over 592 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: SATs sports hate. Well, you're always you're always bagging on him. 593 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: I don't know why, Well, what does he do? He blocks? 594 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: Watch him have a game? What do you want? And 595 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: every time he comes in, I hope every time he 596 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: comes in, you might as well have a neon sign 597 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: out there saying we're gonna r What do you want 598 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: him to do? Mick? Would you like him to catch them? 599 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: Be your number two receiver as a seventh round pick? Like? 600 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: I think he's filled a nice little role for them 601 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: as as a seventh round draft pick. But if he 602 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: hadn't been a seventh round draft choice, I don't think 603 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: he makes the team. Okay, I'll bet you he's on 604 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: the team next year as Noah Brown. Yeah, there's gonna 605 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: be a robet pizza on it. There's gonna be room. Yeah, yeah, 606 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. Lance Lenor might beat about Yeah, Lance, 607 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. Here are some good things about Lance Lenor. 608 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: Let's go to the phone lines. We have Ray from 609 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: New Orleans on the line. Ray, how you doing? Hey, guys, 610 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: how are you doing doing good? Yeah?

Um? I hope 613 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: we haven't had that since since two thousand and six 614 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: and that's Romo got injured and those couple of years. 615 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: But you, yes, sir, it's it's been. It's been one thing. 616 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: It's been hard, man, because I grew up in the Alaay. 617 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: We did win super Bowls and then we had a 618 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: long dry stretch there with quarterbacks and um. But my 619 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: question would be, I'm just I'm frustrated, but I'm trying 620 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: to keep as calm as possible and still enjoy my holiday. 621 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: So Thanksgiving Thanksgiving was hard for a Cowboys fan. We 622 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: still had great food, great family, um, and we got 623 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: through it. But but and then we went on our 624 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: three game winning street and this team, Mickey is just 625 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: it's frustrated because we're we don't suck. We are good 626 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: enough to win those games. I just don't understand why 627 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: we didn't play to our strings and run the football 628 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: down there. And moving forward, if we do get a 629 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: new avertic coordinator, is it gonna take time for dak See, 630 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: I'm kind of on the fence there. I'm almost going 631 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: to leave our coaches up intact because I don't want 632 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: any further setbacks as far as learning a new system. 633 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 1: But if we do get a new office coordinator. You know, 634 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: if we do keep the only half, Now, what's your 635 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: confidence level in the fact where if you do get 636 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: into another playoffs position next year, are you going to 637 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: stick to your guns and run the football and do 638 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: what got you there? Okay? Ray, hey, can just stop 639 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: stop right now. Now, let me let me ask you something. Okay. 640 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: They practiced all week on a game plan for Seattle, right, okay. 641 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: So do you think they got to the goal line 642 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: and they just said, huh, let me grab something out 643 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: of thin air? Or do you think that maybe when 644 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: they came up with their goal line script, they said, 645 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: this is the way to beat this team if we execute. 646 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: Or do you think he just got there and said, 647 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to use zeke, let's let's throw the football. 648 00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: I mean it, I'll guarantee you it was. It was 649 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: a coaching staff decision that this is our goal line 650 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: game plan. So it wasn't something that just came up 651 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: with the ball in the three yard line. That was 652 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: the coaching staff plan. So I know, I know Lenahan's 653 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: catching a whole lot of heat. Same guy that you 654 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: know it could have been Offensive Coordinator of the Year 655 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: last year, right with a rookie quarterback. So if you 656 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: want to be mad, be mad at the fact that 657 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: the offensive line the tight end doesn't pick up the 658 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: guys that are blitzing. That screwed up the entire play. 659 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: It was a touchdown. It was a walk in touchdown. 660 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: Lots to be frustrated. Let me ask you this, nickey, 661 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 1: would you would you have not rather? I did all that, 662 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: And of course I said all those things because I 663 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: don't know if I want to get rid of Scott Nahan. 664 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: I just sounded like it charge from our other comments. 665 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,479 Speaker 1: I'm afraid also we get a new quoach that it's 666 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: gonna take some time and it might be a further setback. 667 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. But let me ask you this question, 668 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 1: since you asked me that, would you have rather line 669 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: up and run zek three times in a row and 670 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: take the chances there? Yes, but that wasn't for me 671 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: to make the plan on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. All right, 672 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 1: I understand that, and let me and then and the 673 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: last thing I was going to tell you, Well, the 674 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 1: other thing I told you was last year when we 675 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 1: played Green Bay in the first first quarter, we go down, 676 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: we have a third and one and that throws into 677 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: double coverage. We hadn't done that Nicky all year. Now. 678 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,359 Speaker 1: I don't If it had worked, it would have been great, 679 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: but we just didn't do that all year to get 680 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: us there. You know, it was like in that no 681 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,439 Speaker 1: man's playing. I think it was like at the thirty 682 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: three or thirty two. If you don't make it on 683 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,399 Speaker 1: third and one, just line back up and run it again. 684 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: I just don't know. One we got away from that 685 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: and moving forward when we get in these situations again, 686 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: and Brian brought us hit on it perfectly. And I 687 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: was hoping that somebody who's gonna say, yeah, just run 688 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 1: the damn ball there. But look, we're gonna still be 689 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,479 Speaker 1: Callboy fans. I'm not going to stop calling the show. 690 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: I'm just frustrated that our biggest weapon in the backfield 691 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: didn't touched the ball there. All right, we got you, 692 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: we got you, get it. But guess what, as much 693 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: as much frustration as you have, what do you think 694 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: those guys are They're frustrated. I think the team's frustrated. 695 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 1: The players are frustrated. That's their job. Yeah, it's not 696 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,280 Speaker 1: some sort of lark for them. How do they find motivation? 697 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,800 Speaker 1: To go into this week and still want to be 698 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: competitive is just because they have that competitive nature and 699 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: that that will to play. And you've you've carried this 700 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: this far. You know, you've been through all the training camp, 701 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: extra hat, extra game because of the Hall of Fame. 702 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: You know, it's been a long year, but the OTAs, 703 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: the mini camps, and then you know through the season 704 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: you've had the mini ups and downs. You know, you 705 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 1: don't want to finish on a bad note. There's a 706 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: lot of these guys that you know there won't be 707 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: teammates anymore, you know, the way these rosters turn over, 708 00:35:56,040 --> 00:36:00,320 Speaker 1: the way you the addition subtraction. Yeah, you want to 709 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: you want to go out on a good note. And 710 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: if you're one of those guys that's going out, you 711 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,879 Speaker 1: know and maybe going to another team again. They talk 712 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 1: about good tape bad tape. You don't want to be 713 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 1: one of those things like, hey, let's watch how this 714 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: guy played in a meaningless game. Yeah, I think that's 715 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: I think that's something I think Scott Linahan and you know, 716 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,800 Speaker 1: and and I understand ray in New Orleans because I 717 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: was from the same boat of you know, I wish 718 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 1: they would have turned and handed the ball to Elliott. 719 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: I get that. I mean, I'm with him on that. 720 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,320 Speaker 1: Mickey's right on the execution of the play and in 721 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: talking to the coaches and stuff. Though that was big 722 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: they had. That play was there, they just didn't execute 723 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: it well enough. And so that's the frustration level. When 724 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,839 Speaker 1: it works, it works, everybody's happy. When it doesn't, then 725 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 1: the fingers get pointed. But I think overall, you know, 726 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: you want to finish this season the best you can. 727 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 1: I think it's pride. It is it, Tay you said it. 728 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: I mean it's you look at the end of the 729 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 1: season and say, we were nine and seven. We had 730 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: a winning season despite a lot of stuff that happened 731 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:04,360 Speaker 1: and affected what you want to do. I think that matters, 732 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 1: you know. I think it's wort into the owner in 733 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 1: general manager. Yeah. I mean, I think when you sit 734 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 1: down and watch that tape, you want to be able 735 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: to say, hey, we can count on this guy or 736 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: we can't count on this guy. That that goes a 737 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 1: long way. There's there's clubs around the league right now 738 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,800 Speaker 1: that won't have coaches and that, and you know, this 739 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 1: is one of those teams that will have their coaching 740 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 1: staff in place. I don't think they'll do anything with Lenahan, 741 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 1: but I'm saying some of their assistance might be going on. 742 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 1: You know that that's you know that that could very 743 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,800 Speaker 1: well happen. But I think it's about like Rob says, pride. 744 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: But I do struggle with a little bit the idea 745 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,359 Speaker 1: of playing if you're healthy, you play, and playing all 746 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:41,800 Speaker 1: your healthy guys, all your key guys, and risking injury 747 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: late in the year. And I get the theory of like, 748 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna focus, we're gonna practice hard, we're gonna finish strong, 749 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: but there's ultimately nothing on the line, and the end 750 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 1: of preseason, you do this, you sit guys and it 751 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: doesn't affect their work week leading up. They still have 752 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: good practices, finished training camp strong. It's not like they're 753 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 1: they're taking that time off. So I don't, I don't. 754 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if I agree with the theory that 755 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 1: you can't you're just throwing the rest of the season 756 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 1: away by resting guys. I think there's some value in 757 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 1: protecting guys, especially anybody that's high. But what about what 758 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 1: happens to the guys that have to play? What are 759 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: you telling them? What are you telling them? At the 760 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 1: end of preseason. Well they don't, but they're not. It's 761 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 1: a preseason game. What Travis Frederick's got to play? Yeah, 762 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,359 Speaker 1: so if he doesn't have his guys next to him, 763 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: what's what does he feel like? They don't care if 764 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,440 Speaker 1: I get hurt. Somebody's got to play. You don't have 765 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 1: enough backups to put everybody out there. But there there's 766 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 1: to a point in time where it has been a 767 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 1: long year and I would hate for Zach Martin or 768 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,319 Speaker 1: Travis Frederick or one of those guys that get rolled 769 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,879 Speaker 1: up on Yeah, in a freak injury. Right, I got 770 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 1: you know, I mean the entire game. At some point 771 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: do you pull So, I'm kay, at some point, That's 772 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,399 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. If you if you throw that down now, 773 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 1: no one's prepared to play on Sunday, right, No one 774 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 1: is going to give it. This is a This is 775 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 1: one of the most difficult situation for a coaching staff 776 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,239 Speaker 1: and players to be in because again, there's a lot 777 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: of young guys that are excited about getting the opportunity, 778 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,279 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of coaches and general managers and 779 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,839 Speaker 1: scouts that are terrified. They're every play. And I've been 780 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 1: there get up, Get up. Okay, get up, and you 781 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,360 Speaker 1: do it like sixty five times. Get up. It is, 782 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,360 Speaker 1: it is. It is the most stressful game you You know, 783 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: you could live with it. If it was for something, 784 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 1: you could live with it. But if all of a sudden, 785 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 1: then you know, there's a freak and it might not 786 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 1: be Travis Frederick's fault, or it might not be Zach 787 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: Martin's fault. It might be one of their bad players 788 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,399 Speaker 1: getting shoved into or something like that. You know, I'm 789 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 1: ironic that we had this exact same discussion last year 790 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,440 Speaker 1: going up to Philly, except it was about a team 791 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 1: that's twelve and three, thirteen and two. Yeah, no, no, 792 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: you gotta get them ready for the playoff. It's absolutely right, 793 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,320 Speaker 1: and it is. This is a terrible This is a 794 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 1: terrible thing to deal with when you're not playing for something, 795 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,799 Speaker 1: because there's there there's two ways to do it. Either 796 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 1: do the Jason Garrett approach and say we're gonna go 797 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 1: play and if you're healthy, go play. And I get 798 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 1: he's trying to set a culture, I mean not in culture. 799 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: He's this will be was a seventh season as a 800 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,839 Speaker 1: head coach, so he's got his culture but he's trying 801 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: to make it like, guys, we're not gonna go and 802 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 1: you know, lay down. Now he's gonna he's gonna take 803 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 1: guys out of the game that need to be taken 804 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,479 Speaker 1: out of the game. But man, I would feel terrible 805 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 1: if something happened to Dak or Zeke or Travis Frederick 806 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: or Zach Martin or Sean Lee. I would feel terrible. Yeah, 807 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,640 Speaker 1: I feel terrible because I don't want it to be 808 00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 1: a deal with Okay, now you're going into the two 809 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 1: thousand and eighteen season with well, how so and so's 810 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,240 Speaker 1: you know how you know, you just it's a balancing 811 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,439 Speaker 1: act for sure. How do you think Philadelphia is gonna 812 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,840 Speaker 1: play it? I don't think they're gonna play their starters. 813 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,399 Speaker 1: If it was me, most teams in this position don't 814 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,479 Speaker 1: do that. They didn't do it here. But you said, 815 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 1: I think he made up a point about Nick Foles 816 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 1: and he needs to work because he looked like a 817 00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,360 Speaker 1: bag of you know what the other day. Yeah, and 818 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: so if he plays, your offensive lines got to play, 819 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,319 Speaker 1: sure they do. Bowboys can't rest their entire offensive line. 820 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,719 Speaker 1: They wouldn't need do they have offensive linemen on the 821 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 1: practice squad. Yeah, they do. Anybody can play center. Edwards 822 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,399 Speaker 1: is on the PROCCT. Yeah, but no, no, though they don't. 823 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,319 Speaker 1: Joe Looney's your practice squads. Well, you I have a guard. Yeah, 824 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 1: So what happens is you could you could take Zach 825 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 1: Martin out and put Joe Looney in there and then 826 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 1: turn around and then put you know, I mean, it's 827 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 1: it's a it's a balancing act. It's there's no doubt 828 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,920 Speaker 1: about it. You only have forty six and if those 829 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 1: guys aren't playing, I'm not playing back Yanks. That's That's 830 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,880 Speaker 1: what I go back to with the tackles, I tires 831 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 1: not playing and if Lyle's less than one hundred percent, yeah, 832 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 1: it's it's a risk. It is. And then how are 833 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 1: you evaluating Cooper Rush? Though at the same time, if 834 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 1: you want to put him in not fair. So Cooper 835 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 1: Rush to me, I don't worry about it. You got 836 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 1: that's pause on Cooper Rush because we're gonna come back 837 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,759 Speaker 1: and we are going to get into the guys that 838 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,920 Speaker 1: will play this weekend and what they're going to be 839 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 1: able to do.

But at least we get the fans 892 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,520 Speaker 1: vote in this. So Rob, take it away, which game 893 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:54,240 Speaker 1: would you like to have back? Of these seven losses 894 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,279 Speaker 1: this team has? We are over that before. Well, we're 895 00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: getting man's vote, Mick, because they matter too many games? 896 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 1: Did you give them a choice of four? That's how 897 00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,640 Speaker 1: you get the options are and right EN's welcome. We 898 00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,279 Speaker 1: got a bunch of those. The Rams in week four, 899 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,759 Speaker 1: the Packers in week five, the Falcons in week ten, 900 00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,360 Speaker 1: we're the Seahawks on Christmas Eve. This is the closest 901 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 1: vote I think we've ever had. Tay, everyone's gonna with Seahawks. 902 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 1: I bet what you got you change your noled your 903 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 1: mind after Christmas Eve. Nope, Rams, yep, I'm still going Falcons. 904 00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,279 Speaker 1: Go Falcons. Yeah, Falcons here, I would say falcons too. 905 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:37,520 Speaker 1: The fans barely picked the Seahawks fresh in their mind 906 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 1: twenty seven percent, Rams twenty six percent, Packers twenty four percent, 907 00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 1: Falcons twenty three percent. So I guess they all are bad. 908 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 1: Voice of the people here, that's what I call you. 909 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 1: Until you start just imma getting in fight for them, 910 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,120 Speaker 1: call you vop. So wait, okay, this was like a 911 00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:03,879 Speaker 1: twenty four twenty five, twenty one percentage point. Gosh, really, 912 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,440 Speaker 1: I mean, guy, because all of them, I mean the 913 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 1: Packers and Rams you pick you can fight for. Yeah, 914 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,480 Speaker 1: one player two there, falcons. If you change the Chaz 915 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 1: Green situation, you give him some help, maybe that game 916 00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,759 Speaker 1: goes totally differently. Yeah, first game without Zeke and then 917 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,920 Speaker 1: this last one. I mean, gosh, it's like one player 918 00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 1: play here or there. But guess what you had a 919 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:30,840 Speaker 1: full boat against the Rams. Nobody was missing you lost? 920 00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 1: That was it? Sean Lee? No, yeah, he was out 921 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,759 Speaker 1: against the Rams and Packers. Oh, that's right, it was 922 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:48,560 Speaker 1: Rams full boatboard. I was thinking further into this. It 923 00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,240 Speaker 1: was earlier in the season, I think in the Broncos 924 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:55,520 Speaker 1: game where everyone the Rams were coming off a loss 925 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,920 Speaker 1: to the Redskins. If I remember, it's true, and you 926 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,120 Speaker 1: had them down seven team to six. I'm surprised nobody 927 00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,960 Speaker 1: picked the Charger one. I thought about that. That was 928 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,839 Speaker 1: a four and six team coming in here, but they were. Yeah, 929 00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:09,880 Speaker 1: but look where they're at now. Yeah, but they've got 930 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:14,400 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. Yeah, yeah, No, it was a four and 931 00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:19,200 Speaker 1: sixteen the Rams. At least the Rams were playing better, 932 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 1: but didn't hadn't they just won like four straight or something? 933 00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:27,279 Speaker 1: Oh they Yeah, they beaten beaten Buffalo or something like that. 934 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just crazy to me that. Again, I 935 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:34,439 Speaker 1: respect Philip Rivers, but gosh, five hundred yards it made 936 00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 1: you switch your defensive second or out really come but 937 00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 1: see you weren't. But you weren't even close in that game. 938 00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,000 Speaker 1: You didn't even have a chance to. Was that halftime 939 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 1: that was that bad? Well, yeah, Benny sure got away 940 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:47,600 Speaker 1: from him. They got the ball in the second I 941 00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,919 Speaker 1: remember Lindsay we were on the break when the halftime show, 942 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 1: and Lindsay goes and the Chargers get the ball, and 943 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,960 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, and the Chargers are gonna score when they 944 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 1: get the ball second half, you know, remember seventeen six 945 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,400 Speaker 1: and getting the ball. Okay, I'm gonna change that up 946 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,560 Speaker 1: a little bit. Okay, So you said the Rams the Packers, 947 00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,960 Speaker 1: and then I'll Seattle. Okay, yeah, okay, Mickey, Yes, start 948 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,760 Speaker 1: with you first. Because if you could choose one player 949 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,160 Speaker 1: to have a better game, and you can, you can 950 00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,800 Speaker 1: say it for that one. In this Rams game, it 951 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,440 Speaker 1: would have been Ryan Switzer. In the Falcons game, it 952 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:27,839 Speaker 1: would have been Chas Green in the Packers game. Let's 953 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 1: take the opposite had a worst game, Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, 954 00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:35,880 Speaker 1: and then Seattle des Bryant has a better game. Who 955 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,120 Speaker 1: do you want to pick out of that? All Switzer 956 00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,400 Speaker 1: had to do was all you had to do was 957 00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,800 Speaker 1: catch the punt. Switzer, all you had to do is 958 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,239 Speaker 1: call fair catch and catch the punt. Yeah, they we're 959 00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 1: gonna go down and they we're gonna be up twenty 960 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,160 Speaker 1: four to six. Well that's that's a really good question. Well, 961 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,280 Speaker 1: because I was asking in the sense, you know, because 962 00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,759 Speaker 1: he's right. You know the Rams game, they were in it, 963 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 1: and it really came down to a rookie, a rookie 964 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 1: that you spent a high pick on. So I get 965 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,400 Speaker 1: you got to put him in there, and he'd shown 966 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,640 Speaker 1: you that he could do it, and then it came 967 00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,400 Speaker 1: down to a rookie. Work on the opposite of last year. 968 00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,080 Speaker 1: It came down on a rookie and a post. You 969 00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,719 Speaker 1: guys thinking then, because we said the Atlanta game, are 970 00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:17,120 Speaker 1: you thinking though? Minus Lee, minus Smith, minus who else 971 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 1: I'm missing? I'm missing three guys in that one, right, Smith, Lee, 972 00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,359 Speaker 1: Zeke and Zeke. There was no way that we're gonna 973 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,920 Speaker 1: win that game. Falcons. Yeah, I just felt like if 974 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,200 Speaker 1: you had made a change quicker, like at halftime with 975 00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,360 Speaker 1: Chazz and it was it tend to say what were 976 00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,440 Speaker 1: you going to put in? Things might have been different, Bill, 977 00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,080 Speaker 1: but he and he gave up two sacks in one quarter. Oh, 978 00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,640 Speaker 1: you needed to change something at some point, you had 979 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,200 Speaker 1: to do something. See, I'm asking because maybe the Falcon 980 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,360 Speaker 1: game was not a winnable game. I don't think it 981 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 1: was as it turned out, well, okay, but then can 982 00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:50,560 Speaker 1: you Okay, maybe not under that. Under under her scenario, 983 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,279 Speaker 1: I need Aaron Rodgers to be not good, I mean, 984 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 1: and is that possible? Well though that's a thing she said, 985 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,040 Speaker 1: she's got no control over that. But that's I'm just 986 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,760 Speaker 1: what do you have control of her vice versa your 987 00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,640 Speaker 1: own players, not somebody else's. No, I'm just saying to 988 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:12,319 Speaker 1: her question, she's saying, who do you need to be better? 989 00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,399 Speaker 1: And then in that but she flipped it where he said, 990 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:18,279 Speaker 1: who do you need to be worse? All I needed 991 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 1: is one punt cut? I mean, yeah, okay, you're Garrett Key. 992 00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:28,600 Speaker 1: And something that happened really early in that game, like 993 00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:32,880 Speaker 1: wid that entire game. It changed the whole changed the 994 00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:37,240 Speaker 1: minimal season for him. They scored, They couldn't stop, girly, 995 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:41,800 Speaker 1: they they scored right right, and and then what happened. 996 00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:44,319 Speaker 1: They took the first the first was at the first 997 00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,920 Speaker 1: possession of the second half, and scored again, and suddenly 998 00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:52,640 Speaker 1: seventeen six was twenty one seventeen. Yeah, but by the way, 999 00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:55,880 Speaker 1: you recaptured the lead in the second half too. But 1000 00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 1: see you, but you're thinking that Dallas is going to 1001 00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,640 Speaker 1: score again. They wouldn't even come close to stop at 1002 00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,200 Speaker 1: him those first three possessions. See, you're usually like the 1003 00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,879 Speaker 1: guy that's like, oh, you can't say that you're that guy. 1004 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,640 Speaker 1: Yes you are, you're that guy. You can't say that. 1005 00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:11,920 Speaker 1: You can't say that about that. They were going to 1006 00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:16,560 Speaker 1: go down and score again. Rams had no clue. He 1007 00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,400 Speaker 1: had it in a vision. Let's go back to the 1008 00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,400 Speaker 1: phone lines. Hopefully people are happy, but we understand the 1009 00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,520 Speaker 1: venting Roscoe from Midland, Texas on the line. What is 1010 00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:30,600 Speaker 1: your question, Mickey? Can you talk about the cap or 1011 00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:35,640 Speaker 1: the contract with das looking ahead over the cap if 1012 00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:40,240 Speaker 1: he's a post June one cut, there's eight million dollars 1013 00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,400 Speaker 1: in dead money and maybe twenty five million that he's 1014 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,160 Speaker 1: saying that you saved. And my question is do you 1015 00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:50,120 Speaker 1: add up to eighteen and nineteen years for the cap 1016 00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,560 Speaker 1: or how does that work? But basically, can you talk 1017 00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:57,160 Speaker 1: about the implications of cutting or trading days with his money? 1018 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,920 Speaker 1: Would it be detrimental or save or what can I 1019 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,319 Speaker 1: ask you? Hashway way will stop you there? Yeah? Yeah, 1020 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,959 Speaker 1: you've had enough of him? Then it's that what you're saying, Well, 1021 00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:09,200 Speaker 1: he can't catch the ball and he's he's ten percent 1022 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,560 Speaker 1: of the cap, and you know, I understand that eighty 1023 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:14,480 Speaker 1: eight is a big part of the of the scene, 1024 00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:18,400 Speaker 1: but it's not working. You know, it's not working. So 1025 00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,319 Speaker 1: so I mean, that's it. You're you're just completely you're 1026 00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,920 Speaker 1: you're willing to take a big cap hit and make 1027 00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:28,120 Speaker 1: receiver one of your top two priorities now offseason. That's yeah, 1028 00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:31,200 Speaker 1: that's it's gotta be. We all seen it Sunday. He's 1029 00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,480 Speaker 1: not catching the ball, the ball sitting him in the face, 1030 00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:37,600 Speaker 1: he's not holding on to the ball. That's an expensive problem. 1031 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,200 Speaker 1: You know. I like him, but it's what goods they do, 1032 00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,320 Speaker 1: and it's he's heard. It doesn't even seem like he 1033 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,160 Speaker 1: gets double covered. I don't get to see it like 1034 00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 1: you guys do, but it seems like the double coverage 1035 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:51,920 Speaker 1: is almost stopped, you know. But it's the problem. They're 1036 00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,239 Speaker 1: still done got to happen. They're still doubling him, by 1037 00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,000 Speaker 1: the way. It doesn't And I don't know if people 1038 00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:00,800 Speaker 1: understand double coverage. It's not like basketball put two guys 1039 00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:05,200 Speaker 1: on one. That's safety still slurking, edging. I mean, somebody 1040 00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:08,120 Speaker 1: thinks he still can do it, so, um, I just 1041 00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 1: would be careful of that. I've got to that, yeah, 1042 00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,040 Speaker 1: post June. I want to say post June one split 1043 00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,239 Speaker 1: it right, it would be four and four. I think 1044 00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:18,920 Speaker 1: there's eight million left in his signing bonus that has 1045 00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,279 Speaker 1: to be accounted for and the base salaries or twelve 1046 00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:24,399 Speaker 1: and a half million. Um, Yeah, you saved the twelve 1047 00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,520 Speaker 1: and a half million. And to answer your point a trade, 1048 00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 1: you lose eight. You lose eight, right, and you got 1049 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:31,480 Speaker 1: to replace it. There you go. I knew that was 1050 00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:34,680 Speaker 1: gonna come do. No, that's that's the point, right there 1051 00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,960 Speaker 1: is that all of a sudden, now you need a 1052 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,800 Speaker 1: number one wide receiver. And this is not a franchise 1053 00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,440 Speaker 1: that spends big money in free agency on one. It 1054 00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:45,839 Speaker 1: would be very expensive to try to do that, yep, 1055 00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:48,160 Speaker 1: and they're usually not available. So are you going to 1056 00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:52,720 Speaker 1: spend the number whatever seventeen pick on a wide receiver 1057 00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 1: when you need a lot of help elsewhere? I just 1058 00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:57,080 Speaker 1: I just don't know. I need to go back and 1059 00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,320 Speaker 1: look at all the all the first round receivers that 1060 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,319 Speaker 1: have been draft and look at how productive or lack 1061 00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,840 Speaker 1: of productive, or how quickly they produced, how quickly they produced. 1062 00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:09,440 Speaker 1: I mean's not sure, Buddy's not Julio Jones, Yeah, Shuster's 1063 00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:11,440 Speaker 1: doing a great shot. Smith Schuster's doing a great job 1064 00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,359 Speaker 1: at Pittsburgh. I think he was a third round pick. Okay, 1065 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,439 Speaker 1: Swan dread. What was the first round pick? Josh Duckson, Yeah, 1066 00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,840 Speaker 1: Josh Duckson's another question at seventeen, I believe. What do 1067 00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:26,160 Speaker 1: you think happened to Dez this year? Quarterback? No, because 1068 00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:29,719 Speaker 1: at the last seven games last year, if you factored 1069 00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,719 Speaker 1: out his numbers over an entire season, he would have 1070 00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:36,600 Speaker 1: had like eighty some catches for over a thousand yards 1071 00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:38,800 Speaker 1: and fourteen touches. It was enough to get him in 1072 00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,640 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl as an alternate. So what happened? No, 1073 00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:43,800 Speaker 1: I'm I'm asking, I'm asking this question. Was it the 1074 00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,200 Speaker 1: quarterback in a way that didn't play as well as 1075 00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:49,600 Speaker 1: they does? He does? He does? He miss? Does he miss? 1076 00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,360 Speaker 1: Does he did? He have such a great rapport with 1077 00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,880 Speaker 1: Tony Romo that it's hard, but they'd had it at 1078 00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:59,719 Speaker 1: the end of the year last year. Was Dak protected him? 1079 00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,839 Speaker 1: Was the past good last year those last seven games 1080 00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,360 Speaker 1: after he got healthy? Confidence Mickey? Would it be the 1081 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,239 Speaker 1: past protection? Well, I think some of that has to 1082 00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,200 Speaker 1: do with it, But I don't you know that whole 1083 00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:13,560 Speaker 1: thing about that premise that they're not on the same page. Well, 1084 00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,799 Speaker 1: how did they fall off the same page? Because if 1085 00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,040 Speaker 1: you look at the final game of the year last year, 1086 00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:21,040 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, he was the All Star. He was 1087 00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:24,640 Speaker 1: what kept him in the game, right, And so now 1088 00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:26,600 Speaker 1: all of a sudden they're not on the same page. 1089 00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,239 Speaker 1: That page got ripped out of the book something. I 1090 00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,920 Speaker 1: don't know. But you are seeing it though. I see it, okay, 1091 00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,960 Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't understand it. Yeah, you have 1092 00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:40,000 Speaker 1: fishing the poet. Yeah, no, I don't. He's always been 1093 00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:41,759 Speaker 1: able to catch the ball, and now all of a 1094 00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:45,279 Speaker 1: sudden it's bouncing off his hands, not seeing it. I 1095 00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,759 Speaker 1: don't get it. Does he need glasses? We need to 1096 00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,640 Speaker 1: take him doctor tylock or whatever that deal is. Is 1097 00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:56,240 Speaker 1: this guy still around? I don't know. At the ticket Mickey, 1098 00:55:57,880 --> 00:55:59,839 Speaker 1: that's what it's all the named it came to Bye bye, 1099 00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,640 Speaker 1: doctor Carter. I just feel like Dak couldn't couldn't get 1100 00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:05,799 Speaker 1: the passes to him that he was getting last season. 1101 00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:07,680 Speaker 1: And I say that because I felt like Dak was 1102 00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,160 Speaker 1: scrambling so much more than we've ever seen him before. 1103 00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:13,040 Speaker 1: The pass protection was wasn't there this year, and a 1104 00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:16,000 Speaker 1: lot to do with your swim tackle a lot to do. 1105 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:17,840 Speaker 1: And I think I think one of the things that 1106 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,400 Speaker 1: happens with Dez is when things don't go well, he 1107 00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:25,640 Speaker 1: doesn't relax. He presses it, compounds, tries to try too 1108 00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:29,000 Speaker 1: much like like the ball they bounced off his hands. 1109 00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,319 Speaker 1: It was a very simple route to go sit down 1110 00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:36,360 Speaker 1: and Dez throw it to a sitting down Dez. But 1111 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:38,960 Speaker 1: in the midst of the throw, he took another step 1112 00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,879 Speaker 1: rowing forward, and now the balls behind he came at. 1113 00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:44,680 Speaker 1: He came at Dak instead of staying where he was. 1114 00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,480 Speaker 1: It's absolutely right. The thing about it too, Remember the 1115 00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,320 Speaker 1: slant early in the game that he had to extend 1116 00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,840 Speaker 1: for right and they didn't hit that. Yeah, and he's 1117 00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,120 Speaker 1: that's his bread and butter. And you know we've had 1118 00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,879 Speaker 1: I mean, everything going inside is usually money with him, 1119 00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:01,480 Speaker 1: and we've seen well, you think they're pressing on both 1120 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:03,840 Speaker 1: both sides. I think Dak's pressing a little bit to 1121 00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:05,640 Speaker 1: try to get him, get him a good pass, get 1122 00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:08,520 Speaker 1: him in the right spot, because they both know that 1123 00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,879 Speaker 1: it has the chemistry has been off. You know, I'm 1124 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,480 Speaker 1: not I'm not sure. I don't I don't get I 1125 00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:18,040 Speaker 1: thought only on both guy. I think the guy wouldn't 1126 00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:20,120 Speaker 1: admit it. I think he's a little banged up though too. 1127 00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:25,120 Speaker 1: I do. But that's and I've been I've been yelled 1128 00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:27,560 Speaker 1: at for saying that, but I'd like the fumble. He's 1129 00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,600 Speaker 1: trying too hard. Yeah, he was trying to make more 1130 00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,120 Speaker 1: out of Okay, I caught the pass, get out of bounce. 1131 00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,240 Speaker 1: What game did he get injured in? I'm sorry to 1132 00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:38,280 Speaker 1: interrupted Mickey. If you're still going no, what game? Remember 1133 00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:40,200 Speaker 1: the game? Both him and Terrence. I want to say 1134 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,919 Speaker 1: it might be the Chiefs game.
