So heck, you won the bet 70 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: I felt. I did not like the fact that I lost. 71 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: I don't lose often, right, But it was out of 72 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: my hands. It was in the hands of Andy Dalton 73 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: and Kellen freaking Moore, Okay, and you know what I lost. 74 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: And I said, you know what, if I'm gonna give 75 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: him something, it has to represent Isaiah, it has to 76 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: represent everything Isaiah stands for. And it has to be big, 77 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: bold and bright. And that's what I wanted to make 78 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: sure that you and your family had. Y'all know the 79 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: tree that's outside Radio City Music Hall in New York, 80 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: That's what got delivered into my driveway. So Okay, you 81 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: know what I've got to My wife and I have 82 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: a tradition now every Christmas when we put up our tree, 83 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: we decorate it while we watch Christmas Vacation. Not nice. 84 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: And so there's that scene like ten minutes in where 85 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: they climb to like the top of the mountain and 86 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: cut a tree down and they put it up and 87 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: it's busts out all the windows in the living room 88 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: and all. That's what this is what I'm predicting. Yeah, 89 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: that little tree anymore? Hey, Rob, the biggest? Is it 90 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: gonna fit in his room? I said, oh no, no, 91 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: oh no, that's the thing. I didn't even I didn't 92 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: even ask that. I just said how big is it? 93 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: And he just said, an ang, gonna fit in that 94 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: little room? Pretty big. It's gonna be it. Heck, he's 95 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,239 Speaker 1: gonna be pushed. He's gonna be pushed into the side, 96 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: little branches and stuff, trying to like get his face 97 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: clear for the camera. I can't wait. We are praying 98 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: for you, buddy, and hopefully you get that thing up 99 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: by Monday so we can see it. Just take up 100 00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: the entire back of your room. Scott, can't wait. Move 101 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: some furniture in there as well. But let's talk about 102 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: the Cowboys a little bit here, and of course, the 103 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: Cowboys back on the practice field yesterday, and some more 104 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: injury news surrounding Ezekiel Elliott not in practice again for 105 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: the second straight day. Rob What's what else is on 106 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: the injury report whenever it comes to the Cowboys And 107 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,239 Speaker 1: is there a real concern around Zeke plan this weekend. 108 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a real concern. I mean, 109 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: I think they're trying to manage him to get him 110 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: to the game as best they can. Now. Look, he 111 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: was limited last week and was able to do something 112 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: in practice this week. I think coming out of the 113 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: game he had some some sortness, some stiffness with the calf, 114 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: and so they're really just trying to focus on, you know, 115 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: resistance training and all that stuff with the athletic training staff. 116 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: So we'll see. I think he wants to give it 117 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: a go. I know he wants to give it a go, 118 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: I would say on the injury report, if there's good news, 119 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: it's that you've got Anthony Brown full practice for the 120 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: first time I think it weeks. And in addition to 121 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: in addition to being off the COVID nineteen reserve list 122 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: and Donovan Wilson back to full practice. Secondary secondary looking 123 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: pretty good for this game potentially. Now, Xavier Woods did 124 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: have a growing issue that has limited him in practice 125 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: on Thursday, so that's something to keep an eye on. 126 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: I guess as we moved through the day and Saturday. 127 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: So I mean, what you're telling me here is there's 128 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: an opportunity because even Trayvon Diggs coming back and being 129 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: in the middle of practice. I talked with Steven Jones 130 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: yesterday and Stephen said that he's gonna see a lot 131 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: more playing time. He's gonna he's gonna be back. They're 132 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: not gonna shut him down. He's gonna see playing time 133 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: the rest of the season. He didn't specifically or specifically 134 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: say he was going to play on Sunday, but just 135 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: having him back in the mix is something that I 136 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: know the Jones family in the front office, along with 137 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: the coaching staff, is very excited about. But also not 138 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: to mention you throw in Xavier Woods, but if all 139 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: of these guys are back, it's the first time since 140 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: what week one, that we've seen our entire secondary back 141 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: in action and back in healthy guys. I wrote about 142 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: this yesterday actually on the website that it has not 143 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: happened all year. Anthony Brown, your top four corners, Anthony Brown, 144 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis, Cheeto, and Treyvon have not played in the 145 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: same game this season. So there's at least a chance 146 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: that that happens Sunday. If not Sunday, then possibly next week. 147 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: So will by next week will the playoffs be a possibility? 148 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: We'll find out. I guess we got to say it 149 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: with our chest hair at about forty minutes, Isaiah, how 150 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: big is it to have that secondary back and healthy, 151 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: because I mean it's been a problem spot all season long. 152 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: But kind of like how we've said on this show previously, 153 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: you've got to evaluate these guys on who you want 154 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: to bring back and be a part of this next year, right, absolutely, 155 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 1: I mean evaluation happens every single day, and unfortunately these 156 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: guys have had a ton of injuries on the entire 157 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: side of the defensive side of the ball. But you know, 158 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: when you have your whole secondary, like like I'm mentioned yesterday, 159 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: it just it just feels different, right, It just feels different. 160 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, if somebody one of us had 161 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: to leave town, right for whatever it had to take 162 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: care of something and somebody else stepped in. Guess what 163 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: they say, you know, somebody else stepped in. You know, 164 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: we're appreciative and you know, yeah, they're probably probably gonna 165 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 1: do a good job. I guess what. It's not. It's 166 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: not the crew, right, it's not. It's not the same crew. 167 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: It's not the same. You know, we're not gonna we're 168 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: not gonna float the same, right, We're not gonna transition 169 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: the same. We're not gonna understand what we're kind of 170 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: thinking and all those kinds of things. It's gonna be 171 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: a little bit different, right, So we're gonna we're gonna 172 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: to make up for some some areas in which we 173 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: were lacking in. So it's no different when you step 174 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: on the football field. You know, when we talk about communication, 175 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: um and that chemistry, you know, we were hope and 176 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: we anticipate that those four guys really are in sync 177 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: that way. We hope so because if they are, you know, 178 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: that's that's the best talent that we have to put 179 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: out there at one given time. And that's what you want. Yeah, 180 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: that's the two words you say, communication and chemistry. Those 181 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: are the two things that worry me, especially these guys 182 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: not having that a in game experience together. So you know, 183 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 1: obviously it's good, it's it's a good sign to have 184 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: all of these guys back, especially with us not being 185 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, and so let's see. You know, 186 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: I want to know, I want to know how these 187 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: guys play together, especially knowing that we haven't been able 188 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: to see this whole group. But going back to something 189 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 1: you said, Kyle about Zeke not practicing, it does worry 190 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: me a little bit. It worries me as far as 191 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: you know it. Where's his health right now? I know 192 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: he's been been bogged down with this calf injury for 193 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. Now, if we have any chance 194 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: to win this game vers to forty nine, and Zeke 195 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: is going to have to be a big part of it, 196 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: in this running game and just allowing us to be 197 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: able to move the change. He's one of the best 198 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: in the league at you know, getting those first downs 199 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: on third and short. So you know, having him in 200 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: there being that battering ram kind of running back that 201 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: he has been in twenty twenty, it's going to be necessary, 202 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: especially for this game. Steven's words exactly yesterday were, Zeke 203 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: is a competitor. I think he'll find a way to 204 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: be on the field on Sunday. So, without saying it specifically, 205 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: he thinks that Zeke will be available Sunday. But basically, 206 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: whenever I asked him what kind of participation is he 207 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: gonna be, it was, We're gonna see a lot of 208 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard. We're gonna see a bunch of different looks 209 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: from Kellen Moore. But how much of a wrinkle does 210 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: that take out of Kellen Moore's offense? And how how 211 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: does it affect Tony Pollard too? Because we've talked about 212 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: the one two punch. We talked about Ezekiel Elliott coming 213 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: with the power and then Pollard comes with the finesse. Well, 214 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: whenever the power is gone, how easy is it to 215 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: slow down the finesse? Isaiah? Whenever it comes to slowing 216 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: down Tony Pollard, when you don't have to worry about 217 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott, Oh, it becomes substantially easier. You know, one 218 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: two punches are there for a reason. One person provides 219 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: the strength that the other person doesn't provide, and obviously 220 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: in vice versa, so all of a sudden. Say, for instance, 221 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: Zeke doesn't he doesn't play, he doesn't suit up for 222 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: some reason. Now Tony Pollard is the feature back, and 223 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: guess what those defenses are gonna focus in on him. 224 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: Now you're our guy. Now you get all of our attention. 225 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: It's no longer we're gonna watch seventy percent of Zeke 226 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: film in thirty sat A Pollard. Now it's like, now 227 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna pick you apart, Poler. We're gonna know everything 228 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: that you do. Um, it's no longer a surprise. Um. 229 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 1: It's the same reason why you know in football, you 230 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: don't you don't run the same speed. You know, if 231 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: you if you're if you're trying to run around on somebody, 232 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 1: you don't run the same speed the whole route. Because 233 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: guess what, I could stick with you, I know what 234 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: to expect. You want to be able to change gears 235 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: on somebody so that you can create some degrees of separation. 236 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 1: So when you come with that one headed monster to 237 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: the whole game, I know what you're doing. But that 238 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: two headed monster, that change up, that that change a speed, 239 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: that's what really throws people off. So um, the element 240 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: of surprise has gone as soon as he's out there 241 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: just solely by himself, right, Yeah, I mean I would 242 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: lean towards Zeke playing in this game. He very well 243 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: could be listened as questionable later today, if you know, 244 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: even if he does play. Look at the stats from 245 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: the Bengals game last week. It was twelve carries for Zeke. 246 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: It was eleven carries for Pollard. So I think I 247 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: think TP's gonna get get some run either way. I 248 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: would say one one underrated part of a couple under 249 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: parts of Tony's game. I think he's better between the 250 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: tackles than he probably gets credit for. He's not Zeke, 251 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: and that's not the main part of his game. He 252 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: is that change of pace, but I think he can 253 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: do it. Also, I think some of that goes back 254 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: to what he did in college. He just wasn't that 255 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 1: type of running back in college. He didn't have to be. Also, 256 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: I would say his blitz pick up in his pass protection. 257 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: I've just noticed it watching games this year, better than 258 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: it's been last year. There's just it seems like a 259 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: game a couple player two a game. I see him 260 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: may recognize something and give the quarterback whichever quarterback has 261 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: been in the game an extra second or two. So 262 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,719 Speaker 1: I think he's improved in a couple of different areas 263 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: since he's been drafted, and I think either way, he's 264 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: probably gonna get some touches this week. And that's I'm 265 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: glad you brought that up, Rock, because that's one of 266 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: the things that you that people don't really take, and 267 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: people take for granted. Look at much, Look at much 268 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: Zeke's probably rubbing off on him. You know, you can't, 269 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: even though Zeke isn't being the Zeke that we all 270 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: know what we would like this year, look at the 271 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,079 Speaker 1: other look at the other areas in which he's affecting 272 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,719 Speaker 1: the game. He's allowing our quarterback more time to throw 273 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: the ball. Right, He's given that sense of security to 274 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: coach philbin in the offensive line, right, knowing that somebody 275 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: else is back there. He's showing the guy that's that's 276 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: that's that's second in command behind him, exactly how you 277 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: go about your business, right, Okay, Paula. Yeah, you can 278 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: go out there and you can run around people, you 279 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: can get the edge and blow past me with your speed. 280 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: But guess what this part of your game that you 281 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: haven't that you haven't really excelled in this is where 282 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: this is where I excel right past blocking, right running downhill. 283 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: So look at those areas that Paula's growing in. He 284 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: has somebody to model that off of. So that's that's awesome. Yeah, 285 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: I think I like that. But but also also, you know, 286 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: I just feel like it feels as though the knock 287 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: on Kelly Moore's offense has been that he has gone 288 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: away from giving Zeke the lion share of the carries 289 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: right going, and Zeke's carries have progressively gone down. And 290 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: so you know, I know a lot of people we 291 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: talked about the great Nate Newton and his months or 292 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: three three yards in a cloud of dust, you know, 293 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: and people wanting to see Zeke just running to that 294 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: brick wall the whole game, Tony Pollard being that changeup guy, 295 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: and with Rob saying, look, he's, you know, Zeke rubbing 296 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: off on him and he is picking up those blitzes. 297 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: Gives you a little bit more trust in him. But 298 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: you know, for four quarters, I don't you know, I 299 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: don't know if we're in a situation like that where 300 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: we're primarily relying on him to do those things, if 301 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: we're in a good area, like, that's what I'm That's 302 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: all I'm saying as far as the importance of having 303 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: Zeke in here and Rob, You're right, he does a 304 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: lot better than people that say to give him credit 305 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: for meaning Tony Pollard in between the tackles. He is tough, 306 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: but he does have he is susceptible to losing yards 307 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: on on runs, whereas it seems like for Zeke he's 308 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: always falling forward to gain a yard or two. So 309 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: that's just the difference between the two. But it's gonna 310 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: be interesting going into this game if we don't have him. 311 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: That's a good point because there was a couple of 312 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: games ago. I think it was the Ravens game. I 313 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: don't think it was a lack of strength on Tony's part, 314 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: but he hesitated hitting the hole following his landmarks, whatever 315 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: the case was, and he got dropped for a loss. 316 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: You know, Zeke just doesn't do that unless he gets 317 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: hit in the backfield. So some of that maybe just 318 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: comes with experience, And I do think there's times where 319 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: Zeke softens up the defense and the box. The look 320 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: is not the same for Tony. Maybe they're not expecting 321 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: a run and you know, if Tony is ever the 322 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: featured back in a situation if he has to be, 323 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: that's not gonna be the case anymore. Especially gets a 324 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: front like forty nine Ers front now, and they're gonna 325 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: bring pressure and they're gonna challenge Andy Dalton to throw 326 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: the football. If that's the case, I mean, they're gonna 327 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: they're gonna challenge Tony Pauler to being him on the ground, 328 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: and then it would make Andy Dalton's job uber more 329 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: tough whenever it comes to this Sunday to try and 330 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: figure out how to pick apart this forty nine Ers secondary. 331 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: But when we come back, I heard a couple of 332 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: things that were pretty interesting in the press conferences yesterday, 333 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: one about Kellen Moore and one from Jalen Smith that 334 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: I kind of want to break down a little bit 335 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: when we come back.

We've got some fun drafting 390 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: stuff coming up later, and then we've also got some 391 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: predictions where Isaiah, you said earlier you don't lose very often. 392 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna challenge that because you lost a lot last week. 393 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 1: I just wanted to let you know, you know what 394 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: you but everybody knows that I was going to get 395 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: I was going against the grain last week. Everybody who 396 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,719 Speaker 1: heard it obvious, see, but it's okay. There's a difference 397 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: between going and there's a difference between the holding against 398 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: the grain and you know what one and then yeah, 399 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: you would, wouldn't you Because every single time, Isaiah that 400 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: you differed in picks from HECMA or Rob. You lost 401 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 1: every single take, which I knew was a high percentage risk. 402 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I'm just saying about we just move on, yeah, 403 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: and we're about bringing back the shots you don't take. 404 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: He missed all of the shots he did take, So yeah, 405 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: it's pretty unfortune, but it was. It wasn't a great 406 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: week for me, but I had a chance. He did 407 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 1: have a telling me there's a chance. Yeah. Okay, So 408 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: before we get into predictions, I heard some interesting press 409 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 1: conference answers yesterday. We're gonna start with the positive one. 410 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: We're gonna start with the good. We'll get with the 411 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: bad or maybe you want to call it ugly later 412 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: here in this segment. But I wanted to talk about 413 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: what Kellen Moore or excuse me, what Andy Dalton said 414 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: about Kellen Moore yesterday. He's been resilient just with everything 415 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: that's gone on. He's been able to adjust to playing 416 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,959 Speaker 1: four different quarterbacks this year. He's been able to adjust 417 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: to some different guys not being in the lineup and 418 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: has given us great opportunities out there. High praise for 419 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: our Andy Dalton talking about how there's a lot of 420 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: back and forth there's different coaches, there's different players, different 421 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: things going on amongst this offense, and I kind of 422 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: wanted to ask the question, what kind of growth have 423 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 1: we seen from Kevin Moore? Because I feel like early 424 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: in the season there was a lot of blame on 425 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: the young boy genius coordinator, and lately there hasn't been 426 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: as much of that worry. You've seen some of the creativity, 427 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: You've seen some of the play calling that's allowed them 428 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: to be successful. Sure, there's some short yard of situation 429 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: things kind of thrown in there that you could argue, 430 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: but overall, and we'll start with you, Hackma, how have 431 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: you felt about Kellen Moore lately and how has he 432 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: grown as a coordinator here in twenty twenty. You know, 433 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: some of the criticism of Kelly Moore has been warranted, 434 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: but you know, when you look at this season, man, 435 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: he's been so shorthanded with personnel that it's hard to 436 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: be critical of everything that he does. I think in 437 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia game, we were just all over the place 438 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: just with Ben Denucci and him trying to get through 439 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: that game, and like you just said, man, he's had 440 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 1: four different quarterbacks in there and just trying to put 441 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: a game plan for the strengths of all of these 442 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: guys has been a challenge. And so look, it's not 443 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: Kelly Moore isn't a guy that I'm worried about it 444 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: all as far as his ability to get the quarterback 445 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, you know, moving this offense. You look at 446 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: the numbers that he's put up. I think Dak was 447 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: at eighteen nineteen hundred yards before he got hurt. So 448 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: come on, man, It's just it's just one of those 449 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: years where you look at Kellen Moore and just say, look, man, 450 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: if you run this back and he has his full 451 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: arsenal offensive line and has his quarterback, I think this 452 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: year would be a lot better towards the end. These 453 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: guys would have gained a lot more momentum as the 454 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,959 Speaker 1: season had went along. But you know, I'm not very 455 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: critical of him now, just based off of all of 456 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: the changes that have happened with our offensive line and 457 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: also with the quarterbacks. Rob Yeah, I think you know. 458 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: I was watching they kind of shared a hug on 459 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 1: the sideline. Andy and Kellen did I think after that 460 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: last touchdown pass against Cincinnati, and it just I got 461 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: to think it, Who's who's older in this situation, and 462 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: I looked it up and it's Andy Dalton's like a 463 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: few months older than Kellen Moore. He's been in the 464 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: NFL longer than Kellen Moore by one year, I think, 465 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: And so I think sometimes you forget just how young 466 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: and early in his career Kellen is. And so, yeah, 467 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 1: I haven't been perfect, there's no question about that. I think. 468 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: You know, if there's a criticism of Kellen is probably 469 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: that he gets to pass happy. But I think there's 470 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: been situations this year where the turnovers were just so 471 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: crazy early in the season that you know, you had 472 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: Dak throwing forty fifty times a game in consecutive games, 473 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: and that's just that's not I don't even think that's 474 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: the way Kellen wants to play. I think they've gotten 475 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: with Andy kind of entrenched as the backup filling in 476 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: for Dak, and they've been able to stay closer in 477 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: some games. They've gotten more of the balance they want 478 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: to have. I think when you go when Kellen Moore 479 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 1: looks back, when he's a head coach down the road, 480 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: and he will be a head coach somewhere at some 481 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 1: point in his career, He's probably gonna look back at 482 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: this season as being one of the most beneficial seasons 483 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: for his career ever because of what you guys mentioned 484 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: four quarterbacks, basically having to change game plans and week 485 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: to week based on what your quarterbacks shrinks are. So 486 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,159 Speaker 1: I think that's valuable experience for him, not only for 487 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: next season, but for you know, his career down the line. Yeah, 488 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: that's that's good points, Robert. I totally agree. Um, he's 489 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 1: he's coming a long way. Um, he's had his ups 490 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: and down. It's just like any coach. He's probably had 491 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: a little bit more lows and in the eyes than 492 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: that you will want. But I think that just comes 493 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: from the inexperience that you just mentioned. You know, you're 494 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 1: talking about, you know, trying things outside of himself, trying 495 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: things outside of our our our dna. Um. You know, 496 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: I think he's grown in the form of becoming content 497 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: with just moving the chains. I think that's something that 498 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 1: was a challenge for him, and I think that's something 499 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: that he's kind of grasping, Um that it's okay to 500 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: just move the chains. It's okay to sustain drives and 501 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: have long drives. You just want to finish him off 502 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: in the red zone. So I think where you know, 503 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: you saw that progress last week we started having some 504 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: longer drives and we started eating up some clock. Now 505 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: it's just a matter of just kind of, you know, 506 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: continue to build on that, on that momentum and now 507 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: in things with a with a touchdown instead of you know, 508 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: trying to kick these field goals. But I think I 509 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: think he's I think he's definitely grown in that in 510 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: that arena, because if we saw earlier in the season, 511 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: even midway through the season, you know, triple quadruple reverse 512 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: passes and all kinds of stuff, and he's always looking. 513 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: He's always looking for that big splash, you know. And 514 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: I think it's okay to be able to drip that 515 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: in from time to time, but you shouldn't be dependent 516 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,959 Speaker 1: on a big splash. Not when we're built the way 517 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: we're built. We have plenty of receivers to move the ball. 518 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: We have plenty of running backs to move the ball, 519 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: and it's just about moving the chains. And you have 520 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: to kind of remind yourself as long as like it 521 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: these ten yards, we're good. We have a whole new 522 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: set of downs and be okay with that I really 523 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 1: think timing played a big factor into it as well 524 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: of allowing your quarterback to have enough time to get 525 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: it out to your wide receivers. And I think early 526 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: on they may have over anticipated the amount of time 527 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: that Andy Dalton or Ben d Nucci and or Garrett 528 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: Gilbert had to throw the football. And I think they 529 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 1: did a nice job of turning that around and giving 530 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 1: those quarterbacks opportunities to find it into the hands of 531 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 1: those playmakers. Like you said, Isaiah, just trying to find 532 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: a way to give an opportunity for these weapons to 533 00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: make an impact. But whenever it comes to Allen Moore 534 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: and kind of the play calling, heckman, I know you 535 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: agreed with one of the points that Isaiah talked about, 536 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 1: and just finding different ways to get creative. That's kind 537 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: of where I'm at with it, is not the crazy 538 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 1: trick plays, but trying to kind of simplify it. And 539 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: I think kind of that's also what Rob was saying, 540 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: if this is beneficial because he's had to get creative 541 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: while keeping it simple at the same time. Yes, you 542 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: know you've heard the term kiss keep it simple stupid, right, 543 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: And that's what he's had to do with a lot 544 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: of situations with what he's dealt with. But also you know, 545 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: the as you mentioned, Isaiah, if red zone efficiency has 546 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,959 Speaker 1: got to be the big knock on Kelly Moore's offense. Right, 547 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 1: We've we've gone over the years and we've looked at 548 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: the fact that our red zone efficiency is not that good. 549 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: Now this year twenty twenty, no one is gonna just 550 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: kind of brand that and say that's who you are. 551 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: You're weak in the red zone because of all the 552 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 1: changes that have happened to the front line. But we've 553 00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 1: got to get better at that. Right when you're at 554 00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: the three yard line and you cannot punch that thing 555 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: in and you have to go on the fourth and 556 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: one and throw at the back of the end zone, 557 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: that's just indicative of how week the offensive line has 558 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: been where we hadn't been able to just get that 559 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: one yard. So, you know, give him praise for that, 560 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 1: And like I agree with what Rob said, this has 561 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 1: been a difficult gear and if this is grooming him 562 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: for anything in the future, it's just been the adversity 563 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: that he's had to face and changing his game plan 564 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: to fit the quarterback that he has every single week. 565 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: Speaking of changing whenever it comes to this Sunday's game. 566 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: It was no secret that they switched that game and 567 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: changed it from a primetime Sunday night football game to 568 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: the afternoon on CBS. They flexed the game out of 569 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football between the Cowboys and the forty nine 570 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: ers and they switched it to a noon kickoff. It 571 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: wasn't a secret to anybody not named Jalen Smith and Rob. 572 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: I want to know if you were on this call 573 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: yesterday with Jalen Smith, were you there? Yeah? Okay. So 574 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: with Jalen Smith's answer, there was one quote that stuck 575 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: out and it was picked up by a couple of 576 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: media outlets, but one it didn't really seem like he 577 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: didn't understand that the game had already been flexed. He 578 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: kind of seemed surprised by the fact that the game 579 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: was flexed to noon. But secondly, his quote, and i'll 580 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: read it off here just so I don't paraphrase, but 581 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: if the owner ain't trippin, We're good was the way 582 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: that he said it. In terms of are you upset 583 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: about are you embarrassed about this game being switched? His 584 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: quote was if the owner ain't trippin we're good. What 585 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: are your thoughts on that, Isaiah? I can see you 586 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: kind of working with your eyebrow there a little bit. 587 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: But why does that worry you? Either from a player's 588 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: perspective or just from a front office running the organization 589 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: type of perspective. I guess if he ain't tripping, we 590 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: ain't tripping. I don't. I don't know, man, I mean, yeah, yes, 591 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: I don't really have much to say about it. It's 592 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,239 Speaker 1: just just just go play some ball, man and make 593 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: some plays. I it really doesn't matter if you're playing 594 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: at nighttime. It doesn't matter if you're playing, you know, 595 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: at noon. Obviously, if you get bumped out of the 596 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: out of the premier spot, there's something that you're not 597 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: doing right. You're not gonna make the networks any money. 598 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,239 Speaker 1: So get your butt out the spot and go win 599 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: your games at twelve o'clock. Maybe the next week you'll 600 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: play a night game. I don't know, um, but you 601 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: know that's that should if anything, it should, it should 602 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: it should infuriate you as a player because you know 603 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: that you guys haven't done what you need to do 604 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: in order to be on primetime television. Rob. Yeah, I 605 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: mean I know I know it. It caught. It caught 606 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: fire on Twitter, right, people were. People were upset about 607 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: the comment. When when I heard it live, I didn't. 608 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 1: It didn't really hit me that way. And this whole 609 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: flex thing, it doesn't hit me that way either. I 610 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: look if if and the thing about like, in fairness 611 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,959 Speaker 1: to Jalen, multiple players have been asked about this thing 612 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: all week long, Zeke, Ceedee, lamb Andy, Dalton, you name it, 613 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: and and basically everybody's got the same opinion. It's like, 614 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: well that's when we play, doesn't doesn't like Isaiah said, 615 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, We'll just we're gonna go win the game. 616 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest here, Like it obviously is 617 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: representative of a bad season. There's no question about it. 618 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: This has been a horrible season on so many levels. 619 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: But let's be honest here. If if both of these 620 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: teams had didn't have half their roster missing, this game 621 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't have gotten flexed because both teams probably would have 622 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: had a couple more wins, be still kind of hanging 623 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 1: on in the division their respective divisions, and by no 624 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: means would this game have been flexed. But instead it's 625 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: it's being portrayed as this symbol of just chaos in 626 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: the organization and all that, Like, let's just tap the 627 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: brakes on that a little bit, you know. So I 628 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: just don't. I don't have the same reaction to it. 629 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously both teams have really underachieved, but there's 630 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: been other reasons for why they've underachieved. So and the 631 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: other thing too, is like I don't maybe Isaiah, maybe 632 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: I'm wrong here, but I do think players in some 633 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: respects don't look that far down the schedule and an 634 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: another opponent until it's the week go oh, what time 635 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: do we play? Okay? You know, so I think there's 636 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: probably some validity to that. Yeah, No, I mean that's 637 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: that's true, right, I mean, you don't look at it, 638 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: but but we're it's almost game time. I know you're right, 639 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: it's almost We got three play game here in a minute. Yeah, 640 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: I mean I think we're about forty eight hour rule 641 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: here coming up soon, getting so, um yeah, you want 642 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: to know what's how you're playing. That's not a big 643 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: deal to me, but um, I would be. I would 644 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: be irritated if if our time got bumped out, just 645 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: because in fact I know that we haven't done what 646 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: we need to do and in front of business from 647 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: and Jane's a businessman, right, He's a businessman. Um and 648 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: that's what this is a business It's a business move. Yeah, 649 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: you know, it's a business move. What what what does 650 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: the network? What do they have to promote two teams 651 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: that aren't doing great? And on top of that, they 652 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 1: don't they don't have any highlights to show up like 653 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: their premier players that are balling out? Who who peoplere 654 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: gonn tune in to watch? Zeke's not playing like Zeke. 655 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 1: You know, Coop's doing being consistent, but he's not killing it. 656 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: You know, forty nine ers don't have anybody that's just 657 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: freaking going crazy. So what do they have to promote? 658 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: It's a business move. I'm not mad at it, and 659 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 1: you can't be. I mean, there's there's so much the 660 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: way that they set these games up and Cowboys and 661 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: Niners and the parody that goes into all of these matchups. 662 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: And I don't want to see the Jets and Jaguars 663 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: at a time on Sunday either, you know. So you're right, 664 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: Rob when you talk about our record and the amount 665 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: of guys that are hurt. Still, I just think We're 666 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: used to football players giving you football answers. You know 667 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: that sucks. You know we got flex. You want to 668 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: you want to hear a guy a little set about it. 669 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: But what Jalen says, you ain't. He ain't not tripping. 670 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: We're not tripping. This all good. It kind of rubs 671 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: you the wrong way because it gives the sense that 672 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: the guys is kind of blas the blog. So yeah, 673 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: you know, and that's the only thing I think that 674 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: people disagree with. But Taylan has taken so much criticism 675 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,399 Speaker 1: this year that you know he could see Mary has 676 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: a little lamb in someone. I would hate that. I 677 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 1: know you would. Did it hits you different? I mean, 678 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,399 Speaker 1: did it am I off base here? I'm just maybe 679 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 1: I'm too blase about this. I think you brought it 680 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: up the right way. I really did. And that's the 681 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: reason why I asked the question is because you're right, 682 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 1: A lot of people are painting this in the point 683 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: or in the light that there's there's turmoil in the organization. 684 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,879 Speaker 1: This is the mindset that every player shares because it's 685 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 1: the owner down and it's a top heavy problem. I 686 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 1: don't think that's the case here. I think this is 687 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: a guy who has been used to playing in primetime 688 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,399 Speaker 1: throughout his career. Because I remember going back and talking 689 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: to Gerald McCoy preseason whenever he was kind of getting 690 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: into the Cowboys and he had just been signed, and 691 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: he was pumped because he had only played one primetime 692 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: game throughout his entire career a career, and this is 693 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: a pro bowler. This is a perennial all pro type 694 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: of player. In Gerald McCoy, he played one primetime game 695 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 1: and he had five on the schedule when we did 696 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: the schedule release, and he was super excited about that. 697 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 1: So it matters. It ultimately matters, especially for players outside 698 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: of the Cowboys organization. It one hundred percent matters, because 699 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,800 Speaker 1: you want your family to watch, you want everybody to 700 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: sit down, you want everybody to see this all happening 701 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: on primetime when you're the only game happening. And that's 702 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: not gonna happen this week, of course, because it ended 703 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: up getting flex. Jalen Smith's been on the Cowboys, He's 704 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: been one. He's been at Notre Dame, so I mean 705 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: throughout his whole career, high school on, he has been 706 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: nothing but primetime. Ultimately, whenever it comes to playing at night. 707 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: So this is probably the wrong guy to answer that question. 708 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 1: First off, I don't think it's an organizational issue. I 709 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: think it's just a guy who's used to being in 710 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 1: that limelight. And it's kind of the way that he 711 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: answered it, and it rubbed a lot of people the 712 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: wrong way. But I see where he was coming from 713 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 1: and he's just been used to it previously. So no, 714 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: it didn't rub me the wrong way, Rob, But that's 715 00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 1: kind of how I took it, and I wanted to 716 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 1: see where you got thought about it. But when we 717 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: come back here on Talking Cowboys, let's predict some games 718 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: and say it with your chest.

Here's some of the 771 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: DraftKings kicks this week full of the Cowboys. You've got 772 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,880 Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott up at the top. And we talked about 773 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 1: Zeke earlier. Boys. I mean, if he plays, he could 774 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: have a big game against this San Francisco run defense. 775 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 1: Running the wide nines and there's a lot of room 776 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: in between the tackles to run and Zeke, as physical 777 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 1: as he is, that he could be tough to slow 778 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 1: down whenever it comes to the numbers that he's been 779 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,800 Speaker 1: putting up. Even this year, he's been putting up decent 780 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 1: fantasy numbers. I trust me. I've gone against him a 781 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: couple times in fantasy. But Amari Cooper is an interesting one. Rob. 782 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 1: Why could a'mari have a really big game this week? 783 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: Because he's fifty eight yards from a thousand baby good 784 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 1: time in his six year career, he needs fifty eight 785 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: yards and hey, he's been pretty consistent all year long. 786 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,839 Speaker 1: By the way, it's not impossible to get three one 787 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 1: thousand yard receivers. No, it's not. You know, we talked 788 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 1: about that a lot. I think Gallup would have to 789 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 1: average like one eighteen CD, like eighty something. But Amari, 790 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna get there, and he may he may very 791 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: well get there on Sunday. You know, if they get 792 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 1: some zone looks from the forty nine ers, there might 793 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,320 Speaker 1: be some soft spots, but obviously they've got some veteran 794 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 1: dbs that he's gonna have to go against. I like 795 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 1: his chances of getting to a thousand on Sunday well, 796 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: and throwing to him is Andy Dalton. And heckma, why 797 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 1: could Andy Dalton have kind of a breakout game for 798 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:48,840 Speaker 1: DraftKings fantasy players this week? And you know what, if 799 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 1: Amara Cooper does get it is gonna be because of 800 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. I gotta think Andy Dalton for getting me 801 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 1: Tree Kardashian. Anyway, last week, last week, last week, I 802 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: didn't think it would be three hundred and three touches, 803 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,879 Speaker 1: three touchdowns. But I think that this week he's gonna 804 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to get his receivers some touchdowns man, 805 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 1: and it's it's gonna be those the trio of receivers 806 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,399 Speaker 1: that we talked about gallat Coop. It's gonna be our 807 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:19,360 Speaker 1: guys in Lamb. So if getting those short passes getting 808 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 1: down in the red zone, his efficiency is going to 809 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: be needed for the Californs to get a victory. And 810 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 1: everybody knows what we're playing for. So no better time 811 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 1: than Andy Dalton to pull out the red rifle will 812 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: be this Sunday. So I'm going with Andy Dalton. All right, 813 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 1: really quickly here, Isaiah Tony Pollard. What can he bring 814 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 1: to the table at just fifty two hundred Tony Pollard 815 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 1: with a discount? Double check, y'all, make sure you guys 816 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 1: grab Tony Pollard because versus this defense of the forty 817 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 1: nine ers and their wide nine defensive end schemes, Okay, 818 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,400 Speaker 1: there's gonna be plenty opportunity for him to sneak up 819 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,880 Speaker 1: in between the guard and the tackle and get up 820 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 1: on that second level and maybe even the third level, 821 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,600 Speaker 1: and he might go all the way. Tune in for him, 822 00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,279 Speaker 1: and especially if Ezekiel Elliot's still kind of dealing with 823 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,400 Speaker 1: that calf injury, that he could be a huge fantasy 824 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 1: pick up this week running the football. Okay, time to 825 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,240 Speaker 1: say it with your chest. It is a Friday as always, 826 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,400 Speaker 1: and I gotta be very quick about this. But just 827 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,240 Speaker 1: basically last week Rob had a really good week, Heckma 828 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:15,960 Speaker 1: had a really good week, and Isaiah and I had 829 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,320 Speaker 1: really bad week. So Rob has a thirty six and 830 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 1: twenty record. He is still up ahead of Heckma, but 831 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 1: only one game back. Mister Harrison lurks in the distance 832 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 1: to try and that spot. Then you go all the 833 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,640 Speaker 1: way down to the bottom and there's Isaiah and I 834 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,759 Speaker 1: both at twenty nine and twenty seven. So we are 835 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: now a total of seven games back from Rob after 836 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:46,279 Speaker 1: what was just a awful week. Lass. Hey, ka, I 837 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,719 Speaker 1: guess what's up. We ain't tripping. We ain't tripping, So 838 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 1: we go. Okay, here we go. First game. Gotta be 839 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 1: quick here. We're probably gonna go over time, but I 840 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,279 Speaker 1: want to try and get through a bunch of games here, 841 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 1: all right.

We're not 863 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:37,319 Speaker 1: picking that game. Chiefs versus the Saints. Drew Brees is back, 864 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 1: and this is actually one of the top win percentage 865 00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,920 Speaker 1: is combined out of a week fifteen or later game 866 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,759 Speaker 1: in NFL history. The Chiefs, it's twelve and one in 867 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,400 Speaker 1: the Saints at ten and three. Kansas City's won ten 868 00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:53,719 Speaker 1: straight road games, longest active streak in the NFL. I'm 869 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 1: gonna pick the Saints at home to end that streak. 870 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,560 Speaker 1: Drew Brees comes out, has a pretty fantas asked the game, 871 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,800 Speaker 1: and New Orleans comes out with a win against Patti 872 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 1: Mahomes and company. Rob Pat Mahomes, Chiefs, Mahomeboy all day 873 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:19,240 Speaker 1: guns up, Isaiah Tire Reek Hill. Okay, so not Mahomes 874 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,880 Speaker 1: but tyreek Hill. Okay. So now we're just picking players. 875 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:26,000 Speaker 1: We're not even talking about teams specifically anymore. All right, 876 00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,680 Speaker 1: Final one, Brown's on the road against the Giants at 877 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 1: MetLife Stadium. Five and eight, Giants nine and four Browns 878 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:37,840 Speaker 1: Cleveland's Mayfield seven and one versus non divisional opponents this season. 879 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 1: One of those was against the Cowboys. Isaiah Cleveland Cleveland. Heckma, 880 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,279 Speaker 1: I got Cleveland and this one as well. Okay, Rob, 881 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,480 Speaker 1: Cleveland rocks. Yeah, I'm gonna take Cleveland there as well 882 00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 1: and make it a clean sweep. This is not the 883 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,240 Speaker 1: game to be gaining or the week to be gaining games, 884 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:06,880 Speaker 1: all right. Final one Cowboys forty nine ers. Cowboys have 885 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:11,480 Speaker 1: won five of the last six games against San Francisco. 886 00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,120 Speaker 1: And since Rob, you're trying to protect the lead, and 887 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,360 Speaker 1: since you have the lead, we're gonna let you go 888 00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,640 Speaker 1: first on this one. Cowboys forty nine Ers from AT 889 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:25,080 Speaker 1: and T Stadium at noon on CBS. You know, Kyle, 890 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:29,319 Speaker 1: you turned me around this week. I wasn't feeling good 891 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,040 Speaker 1: about this game. But you know, the forty nine ers 892 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:35,319 Speaker 1: are missing so many guys, and Kyle Shannon said they'll 893 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,439 Speaker 1: start with Nick Mullins might change during the game. I'll 894 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,320 Speaker 1: go with the cow I think. I said the Cowboys 895 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 1: will win two of their last three, so I'll pick 896 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 1: this is one of those two. I'll pick the Cowboys 897 00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:52,319 Speaker 1: twenty three twenty wow. Uh, who's next? You go next? 898 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:57,839 Speaker 1: And I'll go and Isaiah will round it out. All right, Well, 899 00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,160 Speaker 1: the Cowboys need to get some get back. They've been 900 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,880 Speaker 1: trying to do it all season versus a zone run scheme, 901 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,880 Speaker 1: and as Aldan Smith quote it, this week, we suck 902 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:11,200 Speaker 1: and I don't know how to go off of that too. 903 00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,880 Speaker 1: To pick the Cowboys this week, guys, I'm gonna go 904 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:17,000 Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers. Wow, going with the forty 905 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:23,839 Speaker 1: they finally Yeah, championship Plaza. The Cowboys have been outscored 906 00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:27,920 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventeen to fifty seven in games following 907 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,920 Speaker 1: a win. That is a minus sixty point differential in 908 00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,440 Speaker 1: three games. Three games, That's what the score has been. 909 00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,759 Speaker 1: And the big fact this week, Yes, I'm gonna take 910 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:40,960 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers in this one. I just think 911 00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,680 Speaker 1: that one. I'm still angry with the Cowboys and that 912 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:48,320 Speaker 1: probably won't subside until twenty twenty one. But outside of that, 913 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,000 Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys are the better team and they 914 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,239 Speaker 1: should get a win. Plus I picked against them last 915 00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 1: week at the Cowboys one, and I was happy about that. 916 00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,480 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna pick the forty nine ers and hoping 917 00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,040 Speaker 1: for a little bit of that reverse psychology again in 918 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:06,120 Speaker 1: here in Week fifteen, Isaiah, Cowboys match their physicality, Cowboys win, 919 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:11,120 Speaker 1: Cowboys win.
