Speaker 1: from that twenty three to nine loss to the Philadelphia Eagles,

18
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of other things on the line

19
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: today as trade deadline day in the NFL is upon us.

20
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about maybe the Cowboys potentially making a

21
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 1: move one way or the other and maybe stay and put.

22
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: We heard what Jerry Jones had to say this morning,

23
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: and we're gonna break that down here in a minute

24
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: as well. But I wanted to hear I wanted to

25
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: break something else down on what we heard on the

26
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: fan this morning, and the it doesn't have to do

27
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: with Cowboys front office personnel. It has to do with

28
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: one of our very own and that's mister Rob Phillips.

29
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: And Rob, I heard the end of that interview you

30
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: had with Sean and RJ just a couple moments ago.

31
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: It was played for the entirety of the group here, Uh,

32
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: explain the regulator what was going on there? Come on,

33
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened when right before I came on,

34
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell which member of their show was doing

35
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: some kind of pop karaoke and I just I just

36
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: said in passing and that was a big mistake. I said,

37
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: we all need some karaoke in our lives right now

38
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: for a lot of reasons. And so then it went

39
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: down the road of what's what's your go to? I'm old,

40
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: I haven't done karaoke in years, but I'm a nineties guy,

41
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: So I said, Warren regulate, that's my favorite, one of

42
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: my favorite songs of all time. So they had me

43
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: do the intro on the way out, and you did you.

44
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: You did it fantastic. I thought it was awesome. I mean,

45
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: Isaiah was impressed wide I had impressed that. I didn't

46
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: know that you had that that that that gangsta and

47
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: you hrop. However, that was unfamiliar. You like that. I

48
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: didn't like, Hey good, I thought I made a total

49
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: ass of myself. But apparently not. No, no, he said

50
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: you brought it. That was what what the het was.

51
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: Words were, man, I just I got I don't even

52
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: I don't even know rob Just. When you think you

53
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: know a guy who pulls out Warrengy and Regulators and

54
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: Nate Dog, I mean you even did the whole intro.

55
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: He did that. He did that. I think we have

56
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: I think we think we call him. I think we

57
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: have to call him rob P like Warngy, but rob P.

58
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: I think that's what we have referred to my mess

59
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: from now on. Can you go with that. Yeah, that

60
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: was awesome. That was awesome. Rob. Yeah, I'm glad. I'm

61
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: glad they stopped me there because I could have gone

62
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: like one or two more lines of Oh More. You know,

63
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna bring that back too. They're gonna

64
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: bring it back next week. You're gonna pop on on Tuesday,

65
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: and they're probably gonna intro the segment with you with

66
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: with a little rob p And that song makes you

67
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: feel better, you know, And we don't need to We

68
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,839
Speaker 1: all need to feel better these days. We don't, don't.

69
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: You're not wrong about that stressful day for everyone involved

70
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: in I guess the States. For those of you listening

71
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: in nationally, you don't have to listen to this. But

72
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: everybody go vote. Of course, Election day today, Go get

73
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: it done, do your civic duty. And everybody love each other.

74
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: I tweeted that out at this morning. No matter what

75
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: ends up happening tonight, love all of you guys. This

76
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: is gonna be a ton of fun talking football. But

77
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: of course there's the other things out there today. But

78
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: that's all we're gonna say on that because now it's

79
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: a nerve wracking day for the NFL. It's a nerve

80
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: wracking day because of the trade deadline and some of

81
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: these moves that are going to happen for every franchise

82
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: over the next couple of hours and robbed this morning.

83
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones on the Fan in his weekly interview with

84
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: Sean and RJ before you went on, said pretty much

85
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: the Cowboys looking to stay put. Now, you can take

86
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: that with a grain assault, seeing that you don't want

87
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: to give up what you're trying to do. But what

88
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: did you think about Jerry's answer and really the mindset

89
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,119
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys here in the trade deadline day? Yeah,

90
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: I mean I think Jerry said improbability to try to

91
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: get something done, at least something done. That's a big

92
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: splash before three o'clock Central. So and I thought Stephen

93
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: illustrated it well too on the Fan with K and

94
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: C yesterday when he said, you know, he kind of

95
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: went in a little bit more depth and talked about

96
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: how deck Jerry did two in terms of the cap

97
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: but also, um, you know, from a roster standpoint. You know,

98
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: I think Steven talked about that they have needs, I

99
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: mean defensively defensive tackle and they traded for how do

100
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: you pronounce eli uh and and and Coo, I think

101
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: is so yeah, so they've made you were right, they

102
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: made They made a minor rock to move there before

103
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: the deadline. But I think they're kind of looking at

104
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: it like play play the young guys. Let's see what

105
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: some of the young guys we already like on this roster.

106
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: They've made moves last week to move on from veterans

107
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: to open up that playing time, so they want to

108
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: focus on that. And the other thing is too I

109
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: just the vibe I guy from Steven and we kind

110
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: of talked about this one move defensively. I don't know,

111
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: is everything at this point, and so they're taking more

112
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: of a long term view, not that they're not trying

113
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: to win games, but I think they're taking a long

114
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: term view of the cap and just kind of where

115
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: they are with the roster right now and trying to

116
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: be competitive with the young guys that they have. I

117
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: think that just seems to be the approach right now. Pat,

118
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: what do you think about that mindset? I think that's

119
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: a smart mindset. With the fluctuation of the cap for

120
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: next year, we're just kind of in a no man's

121
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: land of knowing what that's going to be. But you know,

122
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: you just have to think how the mighty have fallen.

123
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: And when we at the beginning of the season, we

124
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: were talking about how talented this roster is, and now

125
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: we're at the point where we're talking about trading away

126
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: guys to get picks or if there's anyone that could

127
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: come in from outside of the organization to help us. Now,

128
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: I just feel like what Jerry Jones said was was

129
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: absolutely correct in the mind state of staying paton on

130
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: what we have and trying to develop the young guys

131
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: that we have, because we have a bunch of those,

132
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: and so I don't object with it. I don't think

133
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: that there's any ask trades that you can make that

134
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: would come in and actually make your team better, So

135
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: and I think that would be the thing that you

136
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: would do, or offloading a guy to get more picks.

137
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: And so it's staying the course of where we are

138
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: right now, and right now it's starting to look like

139
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: we would probably be in a top ten pick. I'm

140
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: hoping not, but that's where the course is taking us.

141
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: But if that is. If that is the case, that's

142
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: then that's a smart place to be. And also, I

143
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: heard you ask the question about Aldon Smith and not

144
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: wanting to trade him a way that that may be

145
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: just us wanting to offer a guy that's given us

146
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: all that he can an extension, and we'll get to

147
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: that coming up here in just a minute, but I

148
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: wanted to get your scions on that as well. Yeah,

149
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: I don't see any trades necessarily happening. You guys know

150
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: my thoughts and my sentiments on free agents that are

151
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: out there that can help us immediately, but I don't

152
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: see I don't I don't foresee any any trades taking place.

153
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: And you know, they're obviously smart to think about their

154
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: cap space going forward, but ultimately, you know, you're you

155
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: still you still have a great opportunity this year, and

156
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: I think that you need to focus on trying to

157
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: make sure that you have the best, you know, the

158
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: best opportunity in this year to grasp all your all

159
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: your wants and dreams, and that's that's still a reality.

160
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: So do what you can to control the now. Obviously

161
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: plan for the future. So you're still buying at the

162
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: trade deadline based off of what you just said, but

163
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: not trading. I think there's free agents out there. I

164
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: think there's free agents out there that we can grab.

165
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: I think there's some you know, I think there I

166
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: think we probably could trade a couple of guys a

167
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: way to grab acquire some pictures for the future. I

168
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: don't think there's any players out there that would necessarily

169
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: you can go grab. I don't think you're gonna get

170
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: that much value for the guys that we currently have,

171
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: But I think you can grab some some low end picks.

172
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: But you go out there and grab a couple of

173
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: free agents that can come come in and help you

174
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: right now, No, I agree, And I think that's kind

175
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: of the biggest thing right now is trying to find

176
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: value in the guys that you're willing to trade right now.

177
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: Who are you going to dangle out there that is

178
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: going to get the value that you want back for him?

179
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: Even right now Michael Gallup, I know he's been thrown

180
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: around that I wouldn't be on the train of trading

181
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup. But even with him right now, that's a

182
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: guy who, at least over the last couple games, his

183
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: value hasn't been there at least the same that it

184
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: has been in the past with Dak Prescott. So I

185
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: don't know what teams are gonna be willing to do there.

186
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: But heck, but you brought up Alden Smith, and I

187
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: do want to get into him a little bit. Jerry

188
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: confirming the report that Alden Smith was not a part

189
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: of trade talks with Seattle or I guess they were

190
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: a part, but they rejected the trade talks with Seattle

191
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: for Alden Smith. And yes, this is a guy who's

192
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: thirty one years old, who got off to a really

193
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: hot start, who found a rhythm early, but has since

194
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: kind of slowed down, at least in terms of the

195
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 1: sack numbers. He's still putting up a little bit of

196
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: production in good film. However, this kind of shows a

197
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: little foreshadowing the fact that this means they're probably gonna

198
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: try and extend this guy, right heckma, heck yeah you are,

199
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: and he's giving you everything that you could have wanted.

200
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: I think going into the season, you really there was

201
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: a big question mark around Aldon Smith being out of

202
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: the league for four and a half years and not

203
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: knowing what that production was would look like. My god,

204
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: did he trend up really quickly? And to give that

205
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: away on a guy that could be he could probably

206
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: give you some really some more good years. I don't

207
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: think that's something that the Cowboys interested in doing, especially

208
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: with where you get what you got him for, right.

209
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: And so with Randy Gregory coming on, and obviously I'm

210
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: hoping that Alvin Smith can mentor that guy because man,

211
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory also has an incredible motor. And you see

212
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: why this franchise has put so much belief in him

213
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: just by his first game, then actual action and seeing

214
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: the kind of pressure that he's getting on the quarterback.

215
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: But no, Alvin Smith is off of the list. Don't

216
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: even bring his name up again, Rob, Yeah, I mean,

217
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: I don't think you ever trade that's pass rush is

218
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: a position where if you've got some depth and some

219
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: guys you like, hold onto him because they're hard to find.

220
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: It's a it's a marquee position. And I think you

221
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: know you mentioned Gallop earlier to Kyle and how obviously

222
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: they don't want to trade Gallop. That what we're talking

223
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 1: about leading up to today's deadline is like it's a

224
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: it's a micro view. They're they're looking macro long term.

225
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: That especially on offense, they have sighted the injuries, all

226
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: the injuries they've had, and I know people don't want

227
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: to hear that at some point. It's not an excuse,

228
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: it's facts, and I think it has impacted them, especially offensively.

229
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: They're they're I just I said this on Sean RJ.

230
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: I think that the vibe we're getting is that they

231
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: plan to run this thing back next year, especially on offense.

232
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: You know, get healthy, bring Dak back, hopefully to resign

233
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: him long term, and shore up your offensive line with

234
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: your vets and you have all your all your talent

235
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 1: at receiver and go play football. And then defensively, you're

236
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: probably gonna see some changes, and there's gonna be changes

237
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: because there's there's a lot of guys up in free

238
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: agency next year. Albin Smith one of them, think X right,

239
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: They're they're gonna try to resign him. We'll see if

240
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: it turns out being a Robert Quinn type deal where

241
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the market prevents them from doing that,

242
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: but certainly they want to try, and so having him

243
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: as part of that rotation there, I think is wise

244
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: at least to try to get that set for twenty

245
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: twenty one. No, I don't have no no, no, no no,

246
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: no said, I think you guys are absolutely correct. Um,

247
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 1: you know, I think Gallop Gallop is probably on the table.

248
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 1: If I had to put anybody on the table of

249
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: one of any of our premier guys to be Gallop,

250
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: uh somebody, it's not, and not for the reason, not

251
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: for the fact that you actually want to get rid

252
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: of him. It's probably you don't want to get rid

253
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 1: of them. But in terms of the guys that you

254
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: can actually get some value for right now, Um, you know,

255
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: and where you can afford to lose somebody, you can

256
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: afford to lose a receiver right now. I think we

257
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: have a great trio. Um isn't necessary, no, right, and

258
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: you can develop some young receivers right there's a lot

259
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: of there's always receivers coming in out out of the draft.

260
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: So I think you can get some good value for

261
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: Gallop right now. Alton Smith, I don't think you want

262
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: to get get rid of him, especially with your defensive

263
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: line woes. Um, you probably want to try to hold

264
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: on to the guys that actually have proven something. So

265
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think he's on the table by

266
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: any means. But if you had to make a move,

267
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: if you're gonna let one of your one of your

268
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: main guys go, I think it's Gallup. Why Gallup and

269
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: not a Marie Coup. Well, Cooper, you just paid them,

270
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: so you're not gonna get rid of Cooper right because

271
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: you just committed. That'd be the silliest thing ever. He

272
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: just gave him a bunch of guarantee money. But Gallup,

273
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: you know he's going to demand some money in the future.

274
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: He's going to demand amenting in future. And I don't

275
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: think that the Alice is going to be in a

276
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: position to pay him in the future, not with the

277
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: way that their salary cap issues are lined up. Right,

278
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: So if you know that you're gonna have to offload

279
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: him anyways down the road, you might as well get

280
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: him while he's kind of hot now in terms of

281
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: adding talent, and I know that's still kind of on

282
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: the table as well. And Jerry didn't necessarily shoot it

283
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: down whenever he talked about playing some of these young

284
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: guys and evolving who you have as a part of

285
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: it right now. But Rob, whenever it comes to his

286
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: answer earlier and maybe the where am I going with this,

287
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to talk about the additions that are coming in.

288
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: It's because I don't believe this is going to happen.

289
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: But do you see a potential of an addition at

290
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: some point through before the trade deadline. And if you did,

291
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: where would you see what? Position wise, would you even

292
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: remotely think about adding somebody. I really don't based on

293
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: what they've said, I mean, I guess you can never

294
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: say never. It sounds it sounds like based on what

295
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: they've kind of indicated, they'll take calls, but they're not

296
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: going to make a bunch of calls and be aggressive.

297
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: You know, maybe that changes before three o'clock. We'll see. Um.

298
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: I know, I know Stephen referenced the defensive tackle position

299
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: and we've talked about that one is you know, especially

300
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: in the run defense, you know, moving on from Don

301
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: Terry Poe, they're thin there. They've had trouble shoring up

302
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: the middle of that defensive line. That's obvious. But as

303
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: Steven pointed out, and it's kind of like I mentioned

304
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: at pass rusher, you've got a solid, strong defensive tackle

305
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: for your front um. Those those guys are hard to find,

306
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: so it would take a lot of draft capital to

307
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: do that. I don't I just don't see them trading

308
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: big draft picks to try to make or run this year.

309
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: Not that they're not trying to compete but I just

310
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: I just don't I don't see that this year. Yeah,

311
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: trying to develop the guy. Yeah, just trying to develop

312
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: the guys that you have. Uh. And if there was

313
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: a need, if you were going to go somewhere, college

314
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: would be at the d tackle for sure, because that's

315
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: where the production has needed to come from and we

316
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: just hadn't got gotten anything from it. And you look

317
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: at guys like Neville Gallimore and now Tristan Hill. That

318
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: injury also kind of amplifies because you get rid of Pole,

319
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: you get rid of Everson Griffin, and so you need

320
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: more guys and so Hamilton are the other guys that

321
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: you have that are coming off of the practice squad

322
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: in this whole youth movement and trying to get these

323
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: guys from repping reps in Neville Gallimore has filled in,

324
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: you know quite fine. We h there are some few

325
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: a few things that he does that you want to

326
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: underline circle in highlight that you want to improve on.

327
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: And I'm sure there's a defense they've talked to this

328
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: guy about that. But that's where we have to get

329
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: the push in. If we're looking anywhere, it's going to

330
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: be at the d tackle. And also safety, and I'm

331
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: sure Isaiah has a lot. Yeah, I mean I think

332
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: they're I think the safety position obviously, I've been everybody

333
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: knows where I stand on this. I think that's a

334
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: position that we can add and it would have a

335
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: huge impact right now. I think that's a position that

336
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: you get that you can have a drastic impact. And

337
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: obviously the defensive line. Obviously you see Dallas trying to

338
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: make some moves in that regard in terms of trading

339
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: for for Eli Uma know how to pronounced his last name,

340
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: m uncle, I would assume think, yeah, ads, something like that, Yeah,

341
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: something like that. You know. So they're trying to get

342
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: some young, hungry guys in here. So they did do that.

343
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: I know, nobody's really talking about that right now. Um,

344
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: probably not a lot of film out, but you know,

345
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: they're bringing in guys that are hungry at that position

346
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: and they're hoping that some of that turns into fruition. Um.

347
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, safety, man, safety, If you get a safety

348
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: back there, your your secondary warriors go away. UM. I

349
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: think that, you know, a great communication on the back

350
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: end of your defense makes a huge difference. Um. And

351
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: then it's in terms of upfront you just need effort.

352
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: You need some effort guys. You need guys that are

353
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: you know, they're and they're getting that right now and

354
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: they're they're going to get better. Um, they're obviously not

355
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: very good right now, but they will get better. And

356
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: that's this position where you just have to have a

357
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: ton of reps. When you're in the secondary, you need

358
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: you need a lot of identification, right You need to

359
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: be able to identified you know, you need concepts. You

360
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: need to be identify splits, you need to identify, you know, thrends.

361
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: And that's where a veteran safety can come in and

362
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: help those guys out in Neverguard. Yeah, and I think

363
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the safety position coming up a

364
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: little bit later on as well, because I want to

365
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 1: hear all of y'all's opinions on Donovan Wilson and how

366
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: he played on Sunday because he did have the turnover,

367
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: he had the forced fumble of Carson Wentz early in

368
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: the football game, but I want to kind of hear

369
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: what you guys thought about him in general moving forward.

370
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy had some really good words about him yesterday

371
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: in his press conference. But when we come back, it's

00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 1: little side note, of course, Mike Tomlin come into town

420
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: with the Steelers facing up against Mike McCarthy at AT

421
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: and T Stadium. Remember the last time those two guys

422
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: met at AT and T Stadium it was a Super Bowl.

423
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: It was where Mike McCarthy beat the Steelers with the

424
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: Packers for his one Super Bowl win. So kind of

425
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: interesting this week. A little side storyline. I know, Cowboys

426
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: fans don't necessarily necessarily really want to hear a whole

427
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: lot about the past Super Bowl, especially when you're two

428
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: and six. You want to hear about how you're gonna

429
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: get to the next one, but we've got some time

430
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: for fans on the fifty. Fans on the fifty, I

431
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: believe the sounder played in the background. Okay, Blade, Okay, cool,

432
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 1: We're good. So we're moving on with fans on the fifty.

433
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 1: Continue sending in your questions. I'm reading the periscope stream

434
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: and also in our Twitter mentions as well. Rob, this

435
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: one's gonna go for you. This is from mister Dave

436
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: a Ron and he says, will Cheeto be back this week?

437
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: Of course he was supposed to be back last week,

438
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: but what are the words around the building in terms

439
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: of Cheetahowoozier making his return against Pittsburgh. It sounds like

440
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: they're optimistic about this week, and I'm like you, guys, man,

441
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: I was surprised he didn't play and wasn't activated off

442
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: of IR on Saturday, because I feel like late in

443
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: the week Mike McCarthy was talking about not just whether

444
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: he would play, but how many snaps he would play

445
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: against the Eagles. So they decided he just wasn't quite

446
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: ready coming off the hamstring, and Sean Lee and Joe

447
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 1: Looney were activated instead, But they could have activated him.

448
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: They just wanted to wait another week. I think he was.

449
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: I think he started the practice window on the twenty second,

450
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: so they didn't have to do it over this past weekend.

451
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: And I think there's probably a decent chance they'll be

452
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: back this week all right. And whenever it comes to

453
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: Cheeto Heckman, you look at what he brings to the table,

454
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: especially as just extra security in that secondary. What a

455
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: week it would be back to have him back against

456
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh coming up this week. Well, if there's a week

457
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: for him to come back and make an impact, it

458
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: would be this one. Obviously we could have definitely used

459
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: him in his strength last week, but this we we

460
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: have some firepower coming our way at AT and TU

461
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: this Sunday and Chase Claypool, they Juju Smith Schuster. It's

462
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: gonna be quite an event for our secondary. So Cheeto,

463
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: you know what he gives you. He's a lot physical,

464
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: He's a you know, physical corner for us. And I

465
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: think with he and Diggs and Brown and people are

466
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: not talking about Brown. Brown did really well versus the

467
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: Eagles also. I want to make mention of that, But

468
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: Cheeto would be a necessary addition to our secondary that's

469
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: looking to get healthier and would definitely show up and

470
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 1: make up some plays for us. Do you think the

471
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: same thing I do? I do it hurt that they

472
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: didn't have him. And the thing about bringing Cheeto back is,

473
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: you know, you take the pressure off of Digs of

474
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: having to facial number one receiver. And I think that's

475
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: absolutely imperative right now because Diggs is obviously he's not

476
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: ready for that. He's he's getting better, he's getting better,

477
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 1: but he should not have to bear that responsibility. So

478
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: I think as soon as Cheeto comes back, I think,

479
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, things get better on that end. Let's talk

480
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: about potential position change. This is from Gary. By the way,

481
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: Gary went and voted this morning. He sent a picture

482
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: of the I voted today, so Gee went out and voted.

483
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 1: He says Jalen Smith is downright bad at linebackers. So

484
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: that's how he starts this question off bringing the fire

485
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: and I like it. Wow, what would you guys think?

486
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: What would you guys think about moving him onto the

487
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage as a situational pass rusher already with

488
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: a big no, Okay, that's the question. Why not for

489
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: the same reasons why you think he's not a good linebackers.

490
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 1: The same reason why he wouldn't be a good defensive

491
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 1: man that he cannot get off blocks and he gets

492
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 1: consumed by officeive lignement. So by putting him that much

493
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: closer with less momentum, it's probably not going to work

494
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: to his advantage. Okay, Rob, Yeah, he's he's too high.

495
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 1: Just looked it up. He's two hundred and thirty pounds.

496
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: I can't ask him to do that line up on

497
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: the edge and and and getting a three point stance

498
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: and and take on blockers. I mean, I think I

499
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: think role in agreement. His best skill is probably moving

500
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: forward blitzing. That's different than than than playing the position

501
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: full time. Heck yeah, definitely. And man, everybody's down on

502
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: on Jalen, and rightfully so Taylan is. Man, he's making

503
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: some misreads and it just looks bad on his part.

504
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: And I don't think a position changes the answer. And

505
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of this this thing that

506
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: you think that you can just plug and play guys,

507
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: and it just doesn't work like that. And at two

508
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty pounds, he would definitely be on an

509
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: island for some right tackle to feast on. So I

510
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: don't think that that would be ideal for if you

511
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: think he's bad, now wait until you switch him to

512
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: d end. Yeah. I think he would have to add

513
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: a good twenty pounds at least and then also find

514
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: a way to change direction at the same time learn

515
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: how to pivot a little bit, maybe two forty but

516
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: still yeah, yeah, exactly. I still think yeah, either way,

517
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to ask some way. And since Gary

518
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: went off and voted, we're gonna actually let him ask

519
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: two questions in a row. And that doesn't happen a

520
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 1: whole lot on this show. So congratulations, Gary, you went

521
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: and voted, We're gonna give you two. Also, Luke Gifford

522
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: showed some real promise this year before his injury. Is

523
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: there any chance we see him or the undrafted free

524
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: agent Francis Bernard anytime soon? Rob, That's that's a that's

525
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: an interesting thought. Um, you know maybe. I mean, I

526
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: I can't tell you I have a good feel for

527
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: Luke Gifford just because of the injuries. I mean, he

528
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: hasn't played this year, and he was really in and

529
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: out of the lineup last year. When he's been on

530
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: the field those preseason games, he does have some instincts.

531
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: You know, he's a physical player like what we saw

532
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: from Francis Bernard in preseason. Um, but I kind of

533
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, there, Sean Lee is gonna be

534
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: set for more snaps here. I think he had four

535
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: in the game, uh the other day, and I think

536
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: Mike said they wanted to get him probably like a dozen.

537
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,959
Speaker 1: So I think they're still gonna try to work him

538
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: in because m having Sean on the field will will

539
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: help the run defense, the defense in general, just from

540
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: a communication standpoint. I mean, he knows what he's doing

541
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: back there, and I think they're still trying to shore

542
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: that up and the best way to do that, I

543
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: think is to get Sean Lee on the field a

544
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: little bit more. Completely agree with you, Rob, Yeah, I

545
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: completely agree with you Rob on that. And Gifford came

546
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: into the league from Nebraska with the injury bug and

547
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: it's just continued. I know, he's a guy that's trying

548
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: to get healthy and get on the roll, and he's

549
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: a fan favorite because we just don't know what he

550
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: can do. But Francis Bernard is another kid that's that's

551
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: doing really well for us and special teams, and that's

552
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: gonna be his way to get involved defensively. But Rob,

553
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: you're right, Sean Lee is back. He gives us that

554
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: added leadership, you know, along with vander esh that I

555
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: think we needed right and his injury and return, maybe

556
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: it helps shore up some of the miscommunication that we've

557
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: had in the you know, just in the front line,

558
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: and you just see so much a weekend and week

559
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: out just miscommunication and guy's getting lined up properly. That's

560
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: been a problem for the Dallas Cowboys defense. So you know,

561
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: Sean Lee being back is definitely big, but that would

562
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: be a hard pass on gift or right now, leave

563
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: it the way it is, Leave it the way it is,

564
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: Leave it the way it is. Sean Lee roll him

565
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: in there, and he didn't look that good though he

566
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: got he got hit stick a little bit when I

567
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: saw him. But he has to get some reps underneath

568
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: him him again. But yeah, I mean Shan Lee's mental capacity.

569
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: I mean, when you when you're smart, when you're a

570
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: smart player in this league, especially at the linebacker position,

571
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: it allows for you to play a long time even

572
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: when your physical has gone away. And there's a perfect

573
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: example that by a name of a guy by the

574
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: name of ray Lewis played a lot of years, even

575
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: when his physical ability started kind of doing the lean

576
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: going away, but simply because he was smarter. I mean,

577
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: he was able to identify things we talked about the

578
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: identity piece, and he's able to see things that he

579
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: saw on film. He gets to see it in person.

580
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: He's able to beat you there by getting there maybe

581
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: a half step earlier. He's able to do that. Shan

582
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: Lee's gonna be able to do that, and he's gonna

583
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: be able to help his defensive lignement. These hungry young

584
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: guys get lined up in a proper position, um as

585
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: he sees things that he that he saw on film. Yeah,

586
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: and I think we're seeing the at least the example

587
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: of if you have good linebackers, healthy linebackers. I should say,

588
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: if you have healthy linebackers in the fold as starters,

589
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: they usually don't leave the field a whole lot in

590
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: the middle of the game. And I mean Joe Thomas

591
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: is still in that conversation as maybe that third or

592
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: fourth guy you still have. I guess Gifford would probably

593
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: be the next man up in that case. But even then,

594
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: I mean he showed some flashes for sure, and I

595
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: thought Bernard was better during training camp, and that's really

596
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: the biggest chunk of time we've seen those guys actually

597
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: on the field. But I mean, I also thought we

598
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: had a good look at training camp for a lot

599
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: of guys, and that hasn't necessarily panned out either, so

600
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: you can't really trust that. Yeah, I think there's I

601
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: think there's a difference between you know, playing the young

602
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: guys just to play the young guys, and playing the

603
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: young guys because guys in front of them are not

604
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: being productive. And I think, you know, look done Terry Poe,

605
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,719
Speaker 1: Daryl Worley, even Everson Griffin. I mean, they moved on

606
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: because they wanted to see maybe more production from from

607
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: younger guys we're talking about as Sean Lee, Ronald and Smith.

608
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: I think they feel better about getting production from those

609
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: guys when they're healthier when they're on the field. That's

610
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: there's a difference between just trotting out the young guys

611
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: just to play the young guys. I don't think they're

612
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: in that mode yet. I think they're just trying to

613
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: feel the best guys they can to help try to

614
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: get something going. Defensively, They're still in that mode. It's

615
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: not it's not a tank mode. It's just not. Yeah,

616
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: it's just it's a tryout mode. It's honestly what it

617
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: kind of feels like. It's come prove yourself right now

618
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: and find a way to get some of those reps

619
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: later on in your career. Now, speaking of making moves

620
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: and clearing way and doing something crazy, how about this?

621
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: This is from Darby on our periscope stream. By the way,

622
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: keep sending in questions, but does it make sense to

623
00:30:55,440 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: deal one Ezekiel Elliott while he still has value? Why

624
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: are you shaking your head? Isaiah? Answer the question? No?

625
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: Um no, So I mean why where do you find

626
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: another Zeke? Do you not have one in the backfield? No?

627
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: You don't actually, um, I mean Paula's are good back

628
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: but he's no Zeke. Let's be let's be honest about it. Um.

629
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: Zeke's down right now. Just because somebody's down for a

630
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: couple of games doesn't mean that you just ship them off.

631
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: He's been good to this organization for a long time.

632
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: He has a lot of juice left. I don't think

633
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: there's any question about that. He had a couple of

634
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: fumbels this year and he has an office, a line

635
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: that's that's um, that's playing musical chairs. Things were settling

636
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: and he'll start getting back to being the zeke that

637
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: everybody knows. But it takes more than just a running

638
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: back and getting the ball from the quarterback to be

639
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: successful in this league. Now, I mean, and once once

640
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys figure things out out up front, you know,

641
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: I think he'll fix it. I think him pretty sure

642
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: he's fixed his fumbling woes. Um, then it's just a't

643
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: matter just finding the holes. But you know, it's it's

644
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: not just it's not easy as getting the ball and running.

645
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: There's there's guys on the other side of the ball

646
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: that are getting hate to do what they do and

647
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: their jobs to stop you. And if they're better than

648
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: your guys up front, your chances are getting a good

649
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: yard is just not gonna happen. But you, I mean,

650
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: he had he had an okay game the other night. Uns. Yeah,

651
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: it was better than the first two games or the

652
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: last two games, I guess in that regard. Yeah, heck,

653
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: when do you agree? No, I agree with it, And

654
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: it's just Man twenty twenty, and the council culture of

655
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: Mafia is a trip. Man and you know, I get it.

656
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: I get it. I think a guy has a down year.

657
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: You start if you start listening to people say, you know,

658
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: the running back position is down, and all the analytical

659
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: people that say you really don't need a running back

660
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: to win, uh, you start to kind of buy in

661
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: to those. I just don't believe that. I think that.

662
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a I'm a guy watched football boxing

663
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: and I'm big time boxing fan. I think a lot

664
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: of times when you watch a boxer take some some

665
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: big shots, it changes who that guy is. And some

666
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: time off, you know, getting in a good training camp,

667
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: you see your whole another guy returned to the ring.

668
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm looking at his Zeke just like that man. He's

669
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: taking some shots. Man, I don't care if you watch

670
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: the tape. Just like the blitz from the linebacker from

671
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: the Riskins, that was a shot, and he is taking

672
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: a few just this year. And so I'm not saying

673
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: that he's gunshot. I just think that he's a running

674
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: back that's looking for that contact to be on him

675
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: once he gets the ball. And you're seeing that repeatedly

676
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: on tape. Zeke will get get the hand off, and

677
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: there's a guy already on his hip pocket. So just

678
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: for him, I just I just really want for him

679
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: to finish this year off as strong as he can. Um.

680
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: I think now in the NFL, a thousand yards is nothing,

681
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: but at the same time, if he could reach that,

682
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a positive for him. I didn't know

683
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: you're a boxing fan too. Heck, that's cool, we got

684
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: something to talk about. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good

685
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: analogy I think. Um, I'm in agreement with you guys

686
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: because I mentioned running back next year. I think they're

687
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,479
Speaker 1: absolutely gonna running back offensively. It's a It's been a

688
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: really weird year for Zeke because of the score. Some

689
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: of it's been his fault, and he's owned up to

690
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: those mistakes, those turnovers that have put the offense in

691
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: deficits along with the defense that have limited his opportunities.

692
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: And then the line is a factor too. There haven't

693
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: been the big explosive runs the last couple of years.

694
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: That's well documented. I know people that are critical of

695
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: Zeke have cited that. I continue to look at the

696
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: ten plus yard runs, which do count as explosive runs

697
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and despite the lack of carries, he's

698
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 1: going to have probably the lowest carry total he's had

699
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: since twenty seventeen when he missed six games on suspension.

700
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: He's right there in the top eleven and ten plus

701
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: yard runs this year, he's right there. I think he's

702
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: got twelve. He's tied with James Connor, he's tied with

703
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: the Kamara and Derrick Henry's got seventeen. So I think

704
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: he can he can still be productive for them. They

705
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 1: just need to take care of better care of the ball.

706
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: They've got to get healthier on the offensive line and

707
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: have some leads every now and then. God for every

708
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: now and then, when you're not playing from behind, it's

709
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: it's wonderful when you can do that. It happened a

710
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: couple of times last last week and it actually helped

711
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: Ben d Nucci. So that's that's kind of where they're at.

712
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 1: And I look, I would like to see more Tony

713
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 1: Pollard the rest of the way too. It's not so

714
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,919
Speaker 1: much about Zeke. It's just look the way he ran

715
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: last week, and they need that type of balance back.

716
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: They need both guys to help out the quarterback, whoever's

717
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 1: in there. I've got a look at us Rob learning

718
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: a lot about each other. You know, I didn't know

719
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: you were Warren g fan. That's Rob Pe coming at

720
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: you live from the SWBC Mortgage studios, Rob P. I've

721
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: got a I've got a very bold thing to say

722
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: about Tony P and mister Ezekiel Elliott. I think Zeke

723
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: is by far the better back, and you don't get

724
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: rid of him. So I'm an ingrediance of all of

725
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: you guys, but I think Tony Pollard is a better

726
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: suited back for your current situation with the line that

727
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 1: you have up front. Ezekiel Ellie, it's a guy who

728
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: you want one on one tacklers against. You want him

729
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: to break a tackle. That's what springs his long runs.

730
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard's a guy that's gonna run around you. He's

731
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: not as physical a back. He's more of an elusive back.

732
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,720
Speaker 1: He's somebody who can break a tackle and then maybe

733
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: make the second man miss. That's never been Zeke's game.

734
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: It never has been. He's been a physical back of

735
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: bellcal somebody who's over and over and over again gonna

736
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: get the football. Whereas Tony Pollard is one of those

737
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: lightning in a bottle type of players. I hear you Okay,

738
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: I hear you. And if if, if running back only,

739
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: if your only job as a running back, your soul,

740
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: your sole purpose was to simply get the ball and

741
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: run it, I might agree agree with you. Okay, however, um,

742
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: there's a game called passing. I agree completely. These guys

743
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: have to block, and if anybody's been paying any attention,

744
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: Ezekiel is probably one of the best blocking running backs

745
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: in the league. He saved multiple songs as he's done

746
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: a heck of a job this year picking up blitz.

747
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: As we know, we've seen a lot of it. He's

748
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: just go back and watch the film. He's picking dues

749
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: up left and right and knocking him. He's putting his

750
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 1: head in there. When he hasn't been able to run

751
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,479
Speaker 1: the ball effectively, he's blocked effectively. Mean, he's gotten himself

752
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: embarrassed a couple of times as well. I mean as

753
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: that you know their professional sky is gonna happen, but

754
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: he is. He has stuck his neck out there for

755
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks, all three of them, and I think that

756
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: has something that you know, they have to give him

757
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: respect for it and never regard you guys agree, Yeah,

758
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: he said it. He laid it down on the table. No,

759
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm glad you brought that up, because there

760
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: is more to the tailback position than just running the football.

761
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 1: I'm talking specifically running it. You could go either way,

762
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: but I think Zeke's definitely the more and it's not

763
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: even close. I don't think the more valuable back, and

764
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: you don't necessarily move on from that when you have

765
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 1: a talent like him in the backfield. We got a

766
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,200

812
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: we do these virtual shows, we have like a side

813
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 1: channel that we all hear each other on and see

814
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: each other on. And then basically Hecma and Rob are

815
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: looking at themselves the whole time. I mean, that's the

816
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: only thing they see, so they don't get to see

817
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: us at all. They're just looking at their own smiling faces.

818
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: And it is talent and Kyle, I'm in heaven and

819
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: I'm in here. Wow. Okay, yes, forget the sultry voice

820
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:58,760
Speaker 1: about the white spot. We did have At some point

821
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: somebody asked who his dentist was on a chat stream

822
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: and we all lost it. Oh, it was so funny

823
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: and he didn't even say the answers. Yeah, yeah, it's

824
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: just a big old toothbrush as all it is. Okay,

825
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: So we have one more segment here, a couple more minutes,

826
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: and Chris asked this question. I wanted to bring it

827
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: up anyways, because it was a topic of conversation yesterday

828
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: following the loss to Philadelphia, and it was definitely on

829
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: our show talking about the play calling. And Mike McCarthy

830
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 1: was asked yesterday during this press conference, why won't Mike

831
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: McCarthy take over the play calling from Kellen Moore? And

832
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: he said it's a non issue. He said, it's not

833
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 1: even a question. Hadn't even crossed his mind, not even

834
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: a thing that they're talking about doing. But we even

835
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: talked about it yesterday. There were lapses in play calling

836
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: whenever it came to that game on Sunday night, Rob

837
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: and what do you think about what McCarthy said at

838
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: the table, I enjoy the fact and I respect the

839
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: fact that he didn't throw his man under the bus.

840
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: But at some point that's to be a conversation to

841
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: be had, right I don't Now, I don't think he's

842
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: planning to do that. Okay, he's you know, he's he

843
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: wants to empower his coaches, and I think he wants

844
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 1: to show faith in his coaches. And I feel like

845
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: in order for him to do that, he's am I

846
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: still off, No, you're we can hear I'm hearing myself twice.

847
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: In order to have success offensively, I think he wants

848
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: to empower his coaches, and to do that, I think

849
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: he's got to show faith with them, even when they're

850
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: having injuries, when there's problems upfront, and you know, they

851
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: didn't have these same problems with the injuries before the injuries.

852
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: So I think really with the issues they've had have

853
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: been situationally. The fumble near outside the red zone in

854
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: the third quarter, you know, and some of the things

855
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: they've dialed up in the red zone. They've just got

856
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: to be a little bit better situationally. But I think overall,

857
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: you've got a point to the injuries more than anything

858
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: than what Kellen Moore's done from play calling standpoint at

859
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: this point. HECKMA, you know, that's a difficult one for

860
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: me because I've always respected my coach Mike McCarthy as

861
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: a play caller. That's, you know, as I'm used to

862
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: seeing him standing there with that laminated play sheet calling

863
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: his plays. And I guess when he during the hiring

864
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 1: process or and he won't admitted because he was said

865
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: that he wanted Kellen Moore on his staff. But it's

866
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: hard for me to fathom a guy that's gone his

867
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: whole career calling plays now all of a sudden just

868
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: giving that up. But if that's the case, there has

869
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: to be some questions, especially last against Philadelphia with just

870
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 1: the double reverses the play call. I just thought that

871
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: was a horrible play call, and I guess you could

872
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,760
Speaker 1: question through the season just multiple things that have happened.

873
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 1: But I have always thought that Mike McCarthy would have

874
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: been the better play call for this team, but we

875
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: just hadn't seen it. And I understand whether that energy

876
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: is coming from from my fan base. I think that

877
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: Kelly Moore was just I think this was his first test.

878
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: I think this past week was his first test, and

879
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: I think he failed his first test. I think he's

880
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: always had a lot of weapons at his disposer. I

881
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: think he's always had a great office, a line, he's at,

882
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: a great quarterback, and this is the first time he's

883
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: really facing any real adversity as off as a coordinator.

884
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 1: And I don't think that he stepped up to the

885
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: plate in that regard. I think that he's a competitor

886
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: at heart. So I'm pretty sure as any competitor would,

887
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 1: I think they'll come back and try to bounce back.

888
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:35,919
Speaker 1: It's just unfortunate that he has to try to bounce

889
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: back against the Pittsburgh Steelers team. Yeah. Well, even whenever

890
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: you talk about being his first test, I mean even

891
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,439
Speaker 1: the week prior against Washington, you wouldn't call that a test.

892
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't call that a test because I mean,

893
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: you bring in an all pro quarterback, I mean against

894
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: that defensive line. Though I guess that defensive line. It

895
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: is a test in that regard, But nothing changes in

896
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: terms of your play calling, right, your your quarterback, your

897
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: capability of your quarterback to be able to handle the

898
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: situations ain't the same. Um, I mean obviously now there's

899
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: a there's a there was a drop off in production

900
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: because because he's not Dak of course, and I don't know,

901
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: I've eating that up on Twitter, but um, you know,

902
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 1: Annie Dalton can handle everything that you throw him in

903
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: terms of the playbook. So there's no question mark there.

904
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: And the question mark, you know, comes in when you

905
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: are dealing with a quarterback who you have to dumb

906
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: the playbook down for it, right, who you have to

907
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: simplify things for how you have to scheme things up

908
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: so that he understands it and he's and that he

909
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 1: can read the defenses and you know, it doesn't really

910
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: matter what the defense is. This play is gonna work

911
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: no matter what or whatever you see because you don't

912
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: have the knowledge or a confidence to check out of

913
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: a play, right. So that's where the test was. And

914
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: I think he felt that's a that's a big one, man,

915
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: because he was trying to get a rookie ready to

916
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: play the Philadelphia defense. And look, I know we're gonna

917
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: be harsh on him, and I was harsh just with

918
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: the reverse in the red zone. I thought that was

919
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,919
Speaker 1: a bad place to try that. But you know, I mean, look,

920
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:55,399
Speaker 1: we just got to pull it back a little bit

921
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: because you know, the NUCI just was overwhelmed with what

922
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:02,720
Speaker 1: he saw last week. Period. Yeah, I think the staff

923
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: from ESPN was he was like, oh, for nine in

924
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: passes or over eleven something like that, passes ten yards

925
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: or more of they just you know, the pocket awareness

926
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: and just reading the defenses. It was. I think that

927
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,240
Speaker 1: was just a real challenge just trying to be functional

928
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: back there. So I'm a little more hesitant to put

929
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: it put it on the play calling at this point.

930
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: I think I didn't even really have a problem with

931
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: some of the trick stuff. I think I think situation,

932
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: Like I said, situationally though, like that one drop, I

933
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: mean the one with the ten yard loss with Cedric Wilson,

934
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: don't dial that one up. At that point, you're running

935
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: the football, you're having success, you're taking the pressure off

936
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: your quarterback. You know, you just gotta watch being tricky

937
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: in that in that situation. Just stick with what's working.

938
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what we had talked about previously,

939
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: was we expected the trick plays. We expected something different,

940
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 1: A new wrinkle, is what Mike McCarthy said it as yesterday.

941
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: He wanted the new wrinkle in his fence, and they

942
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: brought that it was the situational of that one third

943
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 1: down or excuse me, third quarter play that ended up

944
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: being a loss of ten on it, and just it

945
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: was odd. It was it was odd placement for that one.

946
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,320
Speaker 1: And I think that's where maybe the learning comes involved,

947
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: and maybe Mike has more say than what we're what

948
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: we're leading on to believe. I mean, he's still got

949
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: a play sheet in his hand, he's still got the

950
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: headset on. He may give that that extra little bit

951
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: of guidance for Kellen Moore, a young padawan, more on

952
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,359
Speaker 1: the sideline of making sure that he knows what's going

953
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 1: on and knows that, hey, we've got this in the

954
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: bag at some point whenever he comes to running the ball,

955
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 1: let's not necessarily do this right here. Maybe that's something

956
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:44,479
Speaker 1: that's kind of put on the table for next week.

957
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,879
Speaker 1: And hopefully Dalton's back next week too, and you might

958
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 1: get him back and there's still a chance that he

959
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: doesn't clear concussion protocol, but all signs pointing to him

960
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: being ready for Pittsburgh. But hopefully he's ready to go

961
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: and healthy in doing so as well. But that's going

962
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: to do it here for Talking Cowboys today. Thanks again
