15
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: do it today? No? What? Nope? What's that? No? We

16
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: said overreaction Monday and I just started going, Nope, not

17
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: gonna overreact. That's a good thing. And you know, it's

18
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: kind of a great place to be as Cowboys fans

19
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: because we've gotten to sleep on it a little bit.

20
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: We've gotten to kind of mellow out after the Thursday

21
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: lost and marinate to the Yeah that that could be

22
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: the other word you could use to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,

23
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: But you're right. Overreaction Monday is a thing around the NFL.

24
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: We had over overreaction Friday. So this is a this

25
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: is a reflection Monday where we still look back at

26
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay game, but now we get a chance

27
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: to look ahead, and unfortunately for the Cowboys, there's a

28
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: lot of bumps on the road coming ahead and the

29
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: form of injuries and the form of suspensions. And we

30
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: will get into all of that coming up here in

31
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: a little bit, but let's start things off by taking

32
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: a look back at the Week one just in general, Cowboys,

33
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: rest of the NFL, rob what stuck out to you

34
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: the most from the entire league? Either one I was.

35
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: We talked about this on a text message last night, like,

36
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: what's the thing? Isaiah had a great idea, what now

37
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: that it's marinating, you've had a weekend to marinate, what

38
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: stands out in your mind about Week one? And for me,

39
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: it's defensively, how did they play? Was it? Was it good?

40
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: Was it more like last year? You know, because I

41
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: think if you want to tie it up into a

42
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: nice little narrative, you could say it kind of felt

43
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: like twenty twenty. You know. Offensively, they did a lot

44
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: of good things. They scored some points, they piled up yards.

45
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: Red zone wasn't great. Special teams did some okay things,

46
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: had some some mistakes there. And defensively they gave up

47
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns and they gave up a key drive at the end.

48
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: But you know, going back and looking at it, I

49
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: thought I thought it was better. I thought it was

50
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: definitely better than what we saw last year. You know,

51
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: if you look at what they did in the second

52
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: half of that game. Yes, they gave up the field

53
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: goal late, but Tampa Bay had five drives. It was

54
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: a punt, touchdown, punt, fumble, field goal. That's better. That's

55
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: better against the Tom Brady defense. So I'm more encouraged

56
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: after spending the weekend marinating. As Isaiah would say, after

57
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: the weekend, and not much has changed for me. I'm

58
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: still concerned on the offensive side of the ball, in

59
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: terms of our ability to throw the ball downfield. I'm

60
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: still concerned about Dak and his confidence in his shoulder,

61
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: whether that's mental, whether that's physical. Either way, it had

62
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: an effect over our ability to throw the ball down

63
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: the field. So we got to figure that out because

64
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: I don't believe that we'll be successful as we'd like

65
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: to be if we can't have those big plays over

66
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: the top and we have the receivers to do it

67
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: minus one obviously right now, but we have to be

68
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 1: able to have those big plays down the field. Defensively,

69
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: I love the way we flied, we were flying around,

70
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: but we have to be able to cover man because

71
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: that's what's going to be asked of them. They're going

72
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: to be asked to cover, to play man coverage. And

73
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: we have another tall task coming up this week on

74
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: the outside with some guys are actually a little bit

75
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,119
Speaker 1: bigger overall, and then special teams dog on it. Man.

76
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: We can't we can't keep giving up returns like this.

77
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: We have to get stout on that side of on

78
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: that side of things, that's a third of the game.

79
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: And I think if anybody never thought about it in

80
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: their regard, I think people as probably more starting the

81
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: forefront of their minds now, that is a very important

82
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: aspect of the game. They don't just let it be

83
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: something that you write off and think that your second

84
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: stringers just go and play special teams. That is a

85
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: very impactful portion and it's something that we have to

86
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: dominate if we want to be in position to win

87
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: ball games. Well, I mean, I got I gotta what

88
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: four good days asleep and still woke up with the

89
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: same worries. But some of them I think I've subsided

90
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: a little bit. Really, it was good to see Trey

91
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: Von Diggs actually dominate a top tier wide receiver and

92
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,679
Speaker 1: seeing him take those steps, I think everybody in Cowboys Nation,

93
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: can you know, kind of rest your head on the

94
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: fact that we have that cute that's quarterback one. Now,

95
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: will he travel? Will some of those things happen? Because

96
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, if you can do that in your defense,

97
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: that really allows Quinn to be very creative with what

98
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,559
Speaker 1: he does. But man also bones fossil the special team

99
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: was I think that's one of the things that it's

100
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: going to come back to revisit and bite you again

101
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: because you're gonna have to be able to cover special

102
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: teams the way that Mickens was able to get them

103
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: in favorable field position. I think that's you cannot do

104
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: that and bones Fossil as a coach. I think we've

105
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: made so much of him and what he's done. I

106
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: think you have to come back and revisit that, especially

107
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: when the special team group has the words that they have.

108
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: But Kella Moore's offense, I mean, after watching so much

109
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: football this weekend, I just recognized that football has changed.

110
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: It's a passing league. We watched NFL yesterday and not

111
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of runs. I mean the running backs.

112
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm talking about running backs, yeah are It's being cut

113
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: out and there's just throwing it all over the park.

114
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: And I think the Booe Eagles were the only team

115
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: to actually have a running back with twenty five plus Russians.

116
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: And I could be wrong in that. I'm sure they're

117
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: gonna fact check me. Still, I just feel like the

118
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: whole league is changing. And you know, look, I do

119
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: not doubt that Kelly Moore is going to end up

120
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,119
Speaker 1: being a head coach in the NFL or at some point,

121
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: but just man, I think that this offense was in

122
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: the college, it would be explosive. I would want to

123
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: play in this kind of offense. Because he's starting it

124
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: all over, but defensively, just the last thing is, you know,

125
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: look they still put up thirty points, and it's kind

126
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: of hard to say, you know, look that was there's

127
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: marked improvements, but at the same time, there was thirty

128
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: points put up against the defense. But there are some

129
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: things that you can hang your hat on and it's

130
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: probably at the front line that you feel good about. No,

131
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: I completely agree with you. And by the way, in

132
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: terms of in terms of rushing around the league. In

133
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: the AFC, there were only three one hundred yard rushers

134
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: and there are three guys that you wouldn't have expect

135
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: expected Joe Mixon, Melvin Gorman, Gordon and then Damien Harris.

136
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: And the NFC there are only two and that was

137
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell and David Montgomery. So not a lot of

138
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: running backs had success Week one. So you're right, if

139
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: that's what you're basing the success of this offfense on,

140
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: maybe think again, don't necessarily think that's the case. But

141
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: I want to kind of go back the other direction. Now,

142
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: if you had to rank the three UNIX units offense,

143
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: defense special teams from last Thursday, what would you rank them?

144
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: One through three? One through three? That's tough. I'll go

145
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: if you want, I'll go offense, defense, special teams. Okay,

146
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: you know, special teams. I think we've talked about it

147
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: whole body of work last year, probably the best unit

148
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: they had butcher on Thursday, most consistent, most consistent. But

149
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: on Thursday night they gave up a big kickoff return,

150
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: a couple penalties, and multiple punt right. Yeah. Yeah, and

151
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: Greg's airline missed two big kicks or you know, an

152
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: extra point and field goal that costs them the game.

153
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: So three kicks when you think about it, so two

154
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: field goal attempts. So you know that was that was

155
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: a tough night for the special teams. Yeah, I agree

156
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: with rot pe E exactly, an order I was going

157
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: to utilize. UM. I think offense stepped up. Even though

158
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: we didn't take advantage of some of the opportunities we had,

159
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: we still were pretty consistent for the most part. We

160
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: abandoned the run when we just talked about that. UM. Defensively, Uh,

161
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: these guys they're flying around. I think we talked about

162
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: it last week in terms of us actually having a culture.

163
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: Now we have an identity. So that's something we've talked

164
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: about extensively over the past, you know, summer. So that's

165
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: encouraging to see, but again we have to man up.

166
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: We got we gotta be getting these guys facing guards

167
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: some dudes, and it's hard in this league. But guess what,

168
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: that's what you got and that's what you're paid to do.

169
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: And then Special Teams, I mean, shoot, I mean that's

170
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: just effort. That's really just effort. I mean, I don't

171
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: I don't believe that coach Fossil was drawing up plays

172
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: that put us at a disadvantage of Special Teams. So

173
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: it really just comes down to executing and and understand

174
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: its film study, right, understanding what are these teams trying

175
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: to do? Now? Obviously week one, it's kind of hard

176
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: to do film study because you don't know what the

177
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: heck they're gonna do. But as as a Special Teams player,

178
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: you have to be high alert, you have to communicate. UM,

179
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: it takes a lot Special Teams. It's probably more demanding

180
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: um mentally than offensive defense, to be honest with you,

181
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: because you have to be aware of so much. You

182
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: have to be aware of the other guys around you,

183
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: and there's their schemes directly against you. UM. Depending off

184
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: your impact putting a player tackler, disruptor or things of

185
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: that nature. So there's a lot more moving parts and

186
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: you have to be a lot more versatile as a

187
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: player if you're playing special teams. And you know, you

188
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: have to also think about Noah Brown's absence, absolutely and

189
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: maybe you know that that wasn't this don't want to

190
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: magnify that, but again it may have been something that

191
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: made a difference on special teams as well. But one, two,

192
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: and three being offense defensive special teams, I think is

193
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: just makes sense. And yeah, you hope the kicking situation

194
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: does not carry over. No, I don't think so, man.

195
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: I mean I don't think so either. But I mean

196
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: we've seen it here where it's snowballs. You know, if

197
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: a guy has a bad game, and but I don't

198
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: know if they've had they the last time they had

199
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: a kicker this accomplished it was it was Dan Bailey.

200
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: We saw it eventually with Dan Bailey. A lot of

201
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: stuff's mental, But I'm chalking it up to Russ. Yeah. Remember, yeah,

202
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: the last kick was was dead center. And but you know,

203
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: Jerry on the fan, he was talking about how we

204
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: probably were kidding ourselves to think that you know, he's

205
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: not gonna kick basically all preseason until the last game

206
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: he gets one field goal attempt in there, and he

207
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: was just gonna beat Greg's airline all but admitted that

208
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: that was on the coaches pretty much. Jerry pretty much

209
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: says everything. Yeah, just a tiny bit actually saying that, Yeah, totally. Yeah,

210
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: And you're trusting you're trusting John Fossil's relationship that the

211
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 1: history coaching Greg's airline. I don't think it's going to

212
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: be a problem over the course, but I think they're

213
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: playing a good team this Sunday. So you hope it

214
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: doesn't come down to a kick or two here like

215
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: it down Thursday night. But you've got to you've got

216
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: to depend on this guy that if it does come

217
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: down to a kick or two, that he can actually

218
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: do it for you. Yeah. I have him, Yeah, yeah,

219
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: I mean before Thursday night. I tweeted this out on Friday,

220
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: but him as the Cowboys kicker before Thursday, kicks inside

221
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: forty yards, he was nineteen of nineteen kicks inside fifty yards,

222
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: he was thirty one of thirty two, so six of

223
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: the seven kicks he missed last year were beyond fifty yards.

224
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: Which are hit or miss regardless. I'm sure you would

225
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: like him to hit it because his nickname is Greg

226
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: the Leg, but you want him to be more automatic.

227
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that was the problem prior to Greg Zirline

228
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: was the automatic side of things between thirty and fifty

229
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: yards that if you're in field goal range quote unquote

230
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: field goal range, that you're gonna make it. And he

231
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: didn't do that on Thursday. That was the Brett Maher thing.

232
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: If Brett Maher kicks from fifty five two years ago,

233
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: you're like, man, that was a great kick, and then

234
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: it's thirty five and you're like, you're holding your breath.

235
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: You know, that's not Greg's Airline's history. So that's definitely yeah.

236
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: So I think we're I think we'll feel a little

237
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: bit more comfortable about Greg Zirline than Brett Maher. So

238
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 1: we've got a couple guys out, which one do we

239
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: want to start with. We're gonna start with a wide

240
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: receiver or the offensive tackle because both of them are big.

241
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna start with the offensive tackle and

242
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna go into that. Well, we'll take this into

243
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: the second segment as well. But Rob Lyle Collins now

244
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: suspended five games by the NFL for substance abuse. Yes,

245
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: infractions is the best way to say it. Their violation

246
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: of the policy. There you go. So he is unable

247
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: to return until after the week's sixth game against New England. Correct,

248
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: he'll be Yeah, he'll be ready to get back into

249
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: everything the monday after. Goodness gracious, So out five weeks

250
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: you don't have your right tackle who you didn't have

251
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: all of twenty twenty, and we saw exactly how that

252
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: panned out. What's the biggest thing on your mind now

253
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: about not having Lyle Collins best five is that It's

254
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: kind of why I wanted to ask it that way,

255
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: is are we going basketball here? Like? Is it? How

256
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: are they gonna how are they gonna address this thing?

257
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: And I'm curious what you guys think because I've kind

258
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 1: of been saying it, but I don't know if Mike

259
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: McCarthy's actually gonna do what he finally did last year,

260
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: and that's change out two spots. Well, my question is

261
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: how soon did the team know that there was a

262
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: suspension coming down? I mean, I think that they knew

263
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: right right, and yeah, if they just a little bit,

264
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think they were blindsided by it.

265
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: And you know, when you look at the fifty three,

266
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: what they what they ultimately did, maybe it wasn't a

267
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: coincidence that they kept Tiniseki and Terrence Steele. I didn't

268
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: think much of it because you know, Terrence Steele is

269
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: kind of the developmental young guy and ni sekis the

270
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: experienced guy. But they did keep some extra depth there. Yeah,

271
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's my thing about Layl is when

272
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: did they find out Um? And you know, were there

273
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: any additional moves on the table to cover the team?

274
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: Tiniscki in the in the preseason has just looked slow

275
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: to me. Um, but he's a little bit better than

276
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: than Steel and that's really not saying a whole lot.

277
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: And you say that, but you think about Dak and

278
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: his development and what he did last week and going

279
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: into this game this week, Well, you got a boast

280
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: a brother on the other side of you that's going

281
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: to become and and you're gonna well, I think the

282
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: one thing you have to do is get him help, right,

283
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: But you know that this guy is going to be

284
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: directly in Dak's vision, So how do they make that work?

285
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: And when you talk about best five. I felt like

286
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: the offense got flowing so much better in the running

287
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: game once we converted Zach Martin out to tackle. But

288
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: based off of everything that I'm here and Zach doesn't

289
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: want to go out to tackle, so which would be

290
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: I guess after seeing McGovern last week, you would think, Okay,

291
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: put mcgovernor at right tackle, Zach out to you excuse me,

292
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: mc goovernor at right guard, Zach out to right tackle. Um,

293
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: you know, let's just see how these things developed, because obviously,

294
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: if you get down by too much in this this

295
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: second game, or you know, it carries over to the

296
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: next week versus Philadelphia, you're gonna have to make some

297
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: moves to shore up the offensive line because right now,

298
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a lot of confidence there. I

299
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: don't like it. I don't like it at all, you know,

300
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: and I want to I almost want to say, hey,

301
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: let's just use Martin as you would use a corner

302
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: right so, you know, just the same way we're saying, hey,

303
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: tray Bard, you might have to you might have to follow,

304
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: you know, the best receiver around. You know, you know, Zach,

305
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: you might we might have to put you at guard

306
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: one day and put you out right tackle the next

307
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: you know, just just based upon the biggest threat, and

308
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: obviously going into this week, the biggest threat is dog

309
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: on the bussa boy. Yeah, right, and and he already

310
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: has a sack in the forest fumble, so we might

311
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: want to consider putting him out there, even though that's

312
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: not really where he wants to be. We know he's

313
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: a team player, we know he's one of the best

314
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: guards ever. But where do we need you most tackle?

315
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: And I think that's where what we might have to do.

316
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: That's the approach I would take. But my name is

317
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: not coach Field. That's where I'm at, man like. And

318
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, you say he's a team player, he'll do

319
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: whatever needs to be done. But you know, I get

320
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: the hesitancy because you don't. There's no position that relies

321
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: more on chemistry than the line, and so you're switching

322
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: out three of the five spots that that chicks. Yeah

323
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: it does, um And I know somebody threw out to

324
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: us in the mail back today, watch put Connor Williams

325
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: at at at right tackle and keep Zach at right guard,

326
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: keep him happy, and then Connor McGovern, they've said, is

327
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: much better more more comfortable at right guard. So the

328
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: question is, did he play well enough to make you

329
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: feel like, well, best five, Let's keep him in the

330
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: lineup and and kick maybe kick Zack out the right tackle.

331
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: Mike just seems hesitant and publicly to do that. I mean,

332
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: he said even Friday, like, I'd like to continue doing what,

333
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: you know, working with the guys we've been working at tackle.

334
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't foresee us doing it. That's

335
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: I think that's what we're all suggesting, and I think

336
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: that's what we will all do, But I don't foresee

337
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: us doing it, especially after this first game, seeing how

338
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: much too tight we used. We used a lot of

339
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: too tight, a lot of twelve personnel, and I think

340
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: that we had to and I think we're gonna have

341
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: to again, you know what I'm saying. I mean, I

342
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: think you're gonna have to again. You know, I'm putting

343
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: up having a tight end, you know, with his hand

344
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: in the ground, and another tight end in the wing

345
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: set um, you know, right in his hip pocket, just

346
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: to kind of disturb, you know, and disrupt what Bosa

347
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: is gonna try to do to us. I mean, because

348
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: he's a beast, you know, even I mean, even even

349
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: if Lyol was playing, he still would have had his

350
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: hands full with dog On Bosa. But I think you

351
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: trust Lyle much more than you ever. Yeah, no, no,

352
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: not even. And this is and I'm saying that's obvious

353
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: that I'm saying that. But also I think it limits

354
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott also in our offense again, because he's gonna

355
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: have to stay at home, he's gonna have to chip

356
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: on Bosa basically stay stay home to protect dak So

357
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: from somebody who's been in contract negotiations and a locker

358
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: room and switched positions back and forth. How much is

359
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 1: it kind of a taboo thing to switch a position

360
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: like that? Even as simple as it is to say, hey,

361
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: let's swing Zack Martin out the tackle, it's not that

362
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: easy from a contract standpoint. I mean, Zach Martin in

363
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: terms of average salary per year, it's the fourth highest

364
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: paid guard in the league with fourteen million a year,

365
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: fourth highest paid guard in the league. If you would

366
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: have switched permanently the tackle and that would be the

367
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: same contract, he'd be twenty first in terms of highest

368
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 1: paid tackles in the league. So you think about the

369
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: contract disparity. You saw it with Peters in Philadelphia a

370
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: couple of years ago when he made the permanent switched

371
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: to tackle. He said, give my money, where's my money?

372
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: I'm playing tackle now, more demanding role. So I know

373
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: what's for five weeks and a lot of the times

374
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: there's there's coaches having conversations and saying, hey, we need

375
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: you to do what's best for the team. Sure, but

376
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: with this guy like Zach Martin, with the pedigree that

377
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: he has and the value that he obviously has for

378
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: your organization, is it worth disgruntling him from that? It's

379
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: a it's a great point. And maybe just maybe you're

380
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: just going to have a big maybe question mark big.

381
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: Maybe we did free up a lot of cap space

382
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: here over the past few weeks, so being that they

383
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: might have known this is coming down, being that you

384
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: just brought that point up, maybe they created us in

385
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: space to be able to give him a little to

386
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: give a little love tap because they knew that they

387
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: might have to make this move. That's a big maybe. Yeah.

388
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: But there there is money there should we have to,

389
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: you know, take care of that. I mean, you bring

390
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: up a good point, Kyle, and just going from where

391
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: he is pay scale wise going out and you would

392
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: now be the twenty first guy. And this is a

393
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: temporary situation. And just like Zach Misson last week, we

394
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: realized it was a temporary situation. So him coming back,

395
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: we all were like, yes, and then we get the

396
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: noodles of Layelle. No, we don't want to have to

397
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: deal with this weekend and week out. I'm just speaking

398
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: from a stand point of Once he did make the

399
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: move to tackle, our running games seemed to flourish a

400
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: little bit more. We were able to do a lot

401
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: more with him in that position, as Terrence Steele just

402
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: pretty much gave us no option with getting a tight

403
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,479
Speaker 1: end out and into coverage or doing any of that

404
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,719
Speaker 1: because he was so much of a looked at as

405
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: a liability. Um. And you just again, each and every week,

406
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: there's going to be a guy across from him that's

407
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: gonna be bonafide and it's gonna limit if we continue this,

408
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: then it's gonna limit our offense for the next five weeks.

409
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm just curious, what's what's Lyle's base salary this year fourteen?

410
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: And Zax is how much? Oh so you're sorry? I

411
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 1: was saying zax. That was Zax. I'll get to Lyles

412
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: here in a second. So right, yeah, I'm sure it's

413
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: probably bigger than what Lyle's getting paid. So heck, what

414
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: would you do? Would you want your your your difference

415
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: in pay? Chris said it was ten, So yeah, that

416
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: makes sense. Yeah, well, if I'm taking on a larger

417
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: role and everybody, I mean, obviously this is a league

418
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: where everybody looks at how much I'm getting paid. The

419
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: guy on another the team is getting paid. There're gonna

420
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: move me out to tackle. I want to get paid

421
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: like tackles um. But obviously they're going to pitch it

422
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: to him as a it's a bend Aid thing. And

423
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: then there's an agent that's gonna call and say, oh,

424
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 1: can you pay for the bend Aid money? Yeah, if

425
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: we get that, man, I don't really I don't see

426
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: that really. But but the thing that stands out to

427
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: me is like it's a sucky situation for Lyle Collins.

428
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't play all of last year. He

429
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: gets this next singer that costs him the end of

430
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 1: training camp, he plays one game, and now he's coming

431
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: back midseason. So it's like a year and a half

432
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: of football, but it's time comes back. Do we have

433
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: clarity on what actually happened. I'm hearing all kinds of things.

434
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm hearing the heel he did not take the test

435
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: and therefore he received this penalty. Those are the reports, Yeah,

436
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. It's all confidential. Yeah, and there's steps within

437
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: the program that as far as I know. But Mike

438
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: McCarthy did not want to discuss it. I mean, he

439
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: seemed like he's a little angry. Yeah, he called it

440
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: awkward timing, which is it's a great question, like did

441
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: that mean they didn't know? And I think they knew

442
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: something was to him? Yeah, I think. I mean, you

443
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: think of all the years that we've heard about Gregory,

444
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: it's always if that's something came down, It came down

445
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: before the season. And so obviously we're gonna miss Zack Martin.

446
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: Thank god we didn't have to go without our whole

447
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: right side. That would have been complete disaster last week.

448
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: But just Mike, my question is, you know how far

449
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: in advanced that they know and was Leall actually playing

450
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,719
Speaker 1: and with Zach being out did that factor in two?

451
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: I mean, stranger things have happened in the NFL, right,

452
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: You know, did did Jerry make a call? Jerry might

453
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: have made a call. I think you would have made

454
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: a bigger call if you could have. You gotta make

455
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: a call. You gotta make a call and say, hey, look, manya,

456
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: I can't do it like this. Just give me the

457
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: first game. Just give me the first time. What you

458
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: want him after days? But I needed the first guy.

459
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. I mean, the way that this happened,

460
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: it's really kind of weird and awkward. So I think

461
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: that's probably what's throwing Mike McCarthy off. And then there's

462
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: all this stuff about him appealing and lawyers being involved

463
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: in all of that. So I don't think that they

464
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: just found this out. Yeah, and I'm sure we're probably

465
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: not going to hear the end of it for quite

466
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 1: some time either. I think it's gonna be a little

467
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: bit of time before this thing really goes away, and

468
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes. But when we come back,

469
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: you're on Talking Cowboys, we are going to discuss how

470
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: not only to replace Lio' collins some more, but we're

471
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: gonna talk about Michael Gallup, what do we do without

472
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: MG on the outside. When we come back to Talking Cowboys,

473
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: presented by Tostitos Sonny Big News. Gary, Are you okay? Oh?

474
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: I'm not Gary anymore. I'm Jackie Flash. What see? I

475
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: want the latest smartphone, but the best deals are only

476
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: for new customers. So to get a new customer deal,

477
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: I changed my name to Jackie Flash. Okay, But the

478
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: best smartphone deals at AT and T are for everyone,

479
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: new and existing customers. That's huge. Then guess who's getting

480
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: the deal? Is it Jackie Flash, Jackie Flash? It's not

481
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: complicated at AT and t our best smartphone deals are

482
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: for everyone. Restrictions apply. Is it att dot com for details?

00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: relaxing bath that your children don't interrupt. I deserve all that.

487
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 1: It's it's a visual metaphor for doctor Pepper zero sugar.

Speaker 1: back and ready to go. Love it, eglong, love it,

516
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: drinking water out of a can? It hit your lips,

517
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: It's so good. I'm sorry, what was that again? It's

518
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: so good when it touch your lips, then it actually

519
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: is quite refreshed to Okay, one, We've got a couple

520
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: of questions to answer here, and then we're gonna take

521
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: calls for the rest of the show. How does that sound, gentleman?

522
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: All right, yes, sir, yeah, taking some calls. Okay. So

523
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: Michael Gallop out for what could be multiple weeks. Haven't

524
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: actually had a designation on how long the injury was.

525
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: There was reports out there that it was three to

526
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: five weeks. I don't know if that's necessarily the case, Rob,

527
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: can you clarify that. I think that's pretty accurate. Okay,

528
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. I think he's a candidate for i R.

529
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're actually gonna do it. It's

530
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: three weeks, three weeks if they do, it's he'd be

531
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: back in three weeks minimum, So it's not for the season.

532
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: So you're saying that we're gonna be without Gallop, Brown

533
00:25:54,960 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: and Turner. Yeah, well Brown, Noah should be back maybe

534
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: this week. No is back. No is back. He just

535
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: was inactive ye last week. Um, And I don't know

536
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: that they're gonna put Gallop on it. I just think

537
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 1: that's an option. It is like he's gonna be out

538
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: for a month. Why not, you know, open up a

539
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: roster spot. And it was an ankle injury specified after

540
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: the in the second half of that loss to Tampa

541
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: Bay last week. So Nobe he didn't have a split

542
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,479
Speaker 1: in this contract. Yeah, I don't know if he did

543
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: or not. That's that's the stuff people don't know about.

544
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: That's that's these new rules they mess with guys contracts

545
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: because if you go on IR and you had to

546
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: split in your contract, that means if you ever go

547
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 1: on IR, you get a percentage of what your salary is.

548
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: Oh that that's absolutely so. Oh it definitely sucks. So

549
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: I know some people's money. Yeah, I know. I got

550
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: put on IR like one week before the end of

551
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: the season when I was one of my times here

552
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: in Dallas, and it cuts your for my split. I

553
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: think I was down to a thirty percent split, So

554
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: thirty percent of what I was supposed to make when

555
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: you're on ir W oh yeah. So it's not just oh,

556
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: he just goes on I R for a minute. He'll

557
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: be back. Guys are like, no, no, no, no, I

558
00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: could play a little bit faster. I got this. I'm

559
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: ready to go. Guys, Okay, But who is ready to

560
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: go In terms of the wide receiver position, Isaiah Brown,

561
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: nor Brown and nor Brown, I think that I think,

562
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: I mean said Will is already playing. I mean, he

563
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: played a lot last game, so he's definitely he's thrown

564
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: in there. He's a number three right off the bat.

565
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: But then nor Brown comes in at number four and

566
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: he helped you immediately on special teams. Simmy for Hoka

567
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: was active last week, but I think he only played

568
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: on maybe two special teams. So I think, as we

569
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: talked about before, this is his working resume right now,

570
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: this is his extended period for his preseason. I think

571
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: they're seeing what he can do, and I think by

572
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: the time Malik Turner is ready to come back, they're

573
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: gonna make a decision on Hey, Simmy, have you done enough? So?

574
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm pretty sure he'll be active again, but

575
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to make an impact and not just

576
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: be a guy on special teams. So you said this

577
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: is giving him rope. Basically, this is the giving rope period,

578
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: you know. I think I love what you said, and

579
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: I agree. I think a lot of people don't understand

580
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: that this isn't just a three wide receiver thing here

581
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: in Dallas. More uses everybody and you saw that with

582
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: the way that he used Wilson. But I think Noah

583
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: Brown impact not only, like I said, special teams, but

584
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 1: also on offense. I think he does a lot of

585
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: good things in those intermediate routes, and I think Dak

586
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: trusts him and he's yes, and that's what Michael Gallot does. Also,

587
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: the people don't mention that he's a better blocker than

588
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: a lot of guys, and so it's going to be

589
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: impactful for this team to have to try and deal

590
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: without MG. But I think that man, I just this

591
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: is that time that I wish Malik Turner was healthy

592
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: because now he did so much in preseason, did so

593
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: much in camp. But again, you have veteran guys already

594
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: here that's proven that they could do it. So Wilson,

595
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: I think, is going to be the guy that really

596
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: steps up, if you want to think in a positive manner.

597
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: Only four receivers received any sort of snaps on Thursday,

598
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: and that was the Big three and then Cedric Wilson.

599
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: Wilson went three targets, three receptions, so he was able

600
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: to make the catch on all three times the ball

601
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: was thrown his way for twenty four yards on twenty

602
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: seven snaps total. So that's a positive thing is that

603
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: even as were being used, you don't have to go

604
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: further down the list and you have to That's a

605
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: nice workload though for a number four receiver twenty snaps. Yeah,

606
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: and that's not including special team snaps. It's a good point. So,

607
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: I mean he probably had a fifty snap, you know,

608
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: sixty snap game. I mean, that's that's that's that's a

609
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: great point because like he's a core guy, and especially

610
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: didn't you hit a nice tackle, Especially when you're a

611
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: core guy, you're on kickoff, kickoff return, punt punt return,

612
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm talking about. The point. I mean,

613
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: you're like you're you're in there, I don't care where

614
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: you're at on there, but you're you're in there having

615
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: an impact some way, somehow, you know. And that's what

616
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Like terms of semi when I saw

617
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: I think it was punt, when I saw a punt covers,

618
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: I didn't see him on punt. I was like, Oh,

619
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: that's not goode. Wilson had eight snaps on special teams

620
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: as well, so so he was a you know, thirty

621
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: five snap guy. That's that's a solid day now for

622
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: a four for number four receiver. I was just looking

623
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: up the stats last year for Noah Brown in the

624
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: five games that he played with Dak and then the

625
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: six games for Cedric Wilson counting last week, and Noah

626
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: Brown was seven of eight targets catches for eighty yards

627
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: and Cedric was fifteen to twenty for one hundred and

628
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: ninety and two touchdowns, both against Seattle. Like that that

629
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: that is an underrated part of this offense. And I

630
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: know people wanted to cut both guys. Yeah, you find

631
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: space for them that they have a nice rapport with

632
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. Like I'm I think Michael Gopp's a fantastic

633
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: young receiver. But like I feel better about this situation

634
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: than Lyle Collins being out five in part because it

635
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: may be less for Mike being out, and then you

636
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: can use a lot of a lot more positions on offense.

637
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: Not only is he can go in the slot, he

638
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: can also play a little bit of tight end. And

639
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: know people don't like to hear that, but he can

640
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: play a little and definitely make some blocks that are

641
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: tight ends didn't make. So that's That's the other thing too,

642
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: is that Kellen wants all the receivers to play every position,

643
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: and Cedric Wilson can do that. When he first got here,

644
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: That's the thing he kept telling me when I sat

645
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: down with him one time, was I gotta learn every

646
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: position and so. And Mike didn't really play as many

647
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: slot reps as maybe we thought he would based off

648
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: a camp. I think he was mostly on the outside

649
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay. But there's still that versatility there within

650
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: the within the receiving corps, within the unit. But I

651
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: still are they snake bit though? My god, you know,

652
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: Friday after the game, it's like you can't even enjoy

653
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: a moral victory. You know, you felt like you're still

654
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: doing You're feeling good despite the loss. It's only sixteen

655
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: more weeks to go, right, Oh, that's an eternity fine

656
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: way stuff, man, that's a tough that's a tough double blow.

657
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: On Friday, before we go to the phone lines here, uh,

658
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: you talked about slot reps. Cedric Wilson had the most

659
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: slot reps on the team on Thursday, tied or actually

660
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: tied with that, tied with Amari Cooper with twenty three.

661
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: Michael Gallipoli had four slot reps. Yeah, so that's actually

662
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: kind of you think about just the natural plug and

663
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: play there. Throw Ceedee Lamb outside, who had twenty two

664
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: slot reps. Throw him outside. You got Cedric Wilson in

665
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: the slot. You got some positivity. They're interesting because we

666
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: had a lot of conversations about a guy up and

667
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: his what he needs to do to become more versatile,

668
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: right in terms of him being in the slot, and

669
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, his first game out there's

670
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: like you just stay out there, Cedric, come on in. Well,

671
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you, you know, Amari Cooper did he

672
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: like answer questions for you, like we've your toughness, all

673
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: of those things. We're out running, Like he took over

674
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: the game on Thursday and left no doubt. I mean

675
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: we were I even we entertained the thought of who's

676
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: the alpha doll in this trip? But Hard Cooper came

677
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: out and just let it hang, no question. I mean,

678
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: and I think he was. He put himself out there though,

679
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,479
Speaker 1: right he walked to his own plank. He put it,

680
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: he said, I consider myself to be the best receiver

681
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: in the league. Whoa you say something like that. Yeah,

682
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: you were on the Yeah, you were walking the plank.

683
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: I mean you got to back that thing up. And

684
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: so I think he put that pressure on himself intentionally.

685
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: Thirteen receptions on seventeen targets one hundred and thirty nine yards.

686
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: He was just on another level on Thursday. All right,

687
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and go to the phone lines. The

688
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: real Anthony from Florida on the line. What's on your mind?

689
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: Hey guys, how y'all, guys, what's up? Let's go. We're

690
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: gonna do it like this man. Everybody knows that me

691
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: called him the last five years to any show. No,

692
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm number one with that. Dak is my dude. So

693
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: I'm extremely happy with what he did. But I think

694
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: you throw, you know, through too much and they put

695
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: him in positions. Yea, I'm gonna tell you why. Here

696
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: we go Jameis Winston. I think he had twenty attempts,

697
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: five touchdowns. Russell Wilson twenty three attempts, four touchdowns. Let

698
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: me tell you something. That one guy that keep leaving

699
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: out of everything saying he might have lost the step,

700
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: this and that if you don't find better ways to

701
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: get his zek Elliot dette Ball and the ones who

702
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: are saying ZK got it no more lost the step.

703
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: Let zeke go to another tune they will do the

704
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: democuts with because I guarantee he'll go to a pro

705
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: bowler the next two or three years and probably won

706
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. So get your man in the game.

707
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with throwing the ball for fifty eight times.

708
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: Come on, man, let's focus on the run more. Let's

709
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,760
Speaker 1: let's final more opportunities to run the ball. And dan Quinn,

710
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: everything he's brought to this team is gonna bring to

711
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: the team with a few additions and then a few subtractors,

712
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 1: probably make sure a couple of guys to be gone.

713
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm liking that. So I see the defense being able

714
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: to help our team in the next two years or so.

715
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 1: In the last point, please Mike McCarthy stop listening to

716
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: the bones Foster anything since he's got here to me,

717
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: Germotic a good kicker. He missed, missed the feuds, But

718
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 1: don't let a guy who just missed two kicks talk

719
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: you into giving Tom Brady the ball. If you missed

720
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: the sixty yards on the fifty yard line, come on,

721
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: make you take them. Morality of tomb away. So Mike

722
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: McCarty gotta have better coaches decisions. Let's putting much kick on.

723
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: That's my man right there, get into game. I like

724
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: that a lot of things. Thanks so much for the call.

725
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: And yeah, he hit a lot of great points there

726
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: that a lot of Cowboys fans and I know the

727
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: real Anthony is the realist Cowboys fan out. Oh yeah,

728
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 1: but he hit a ton of points there that are

729
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,959
Speaker 1: just kind of rattling through the brain. He said about

730
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott throwing too much, which I can't disagree with.

731
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: I know that was kind of a part of the

732
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: game plan and what the defense gave them, as we

733
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: talked about on Friday, but five of the six leading

734
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 1: passers in Week one lost their games in Week one.

735
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I know a lot of that has to

736
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: do with throwing the ball late and trying to get

737
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: back into a game in yawda, YadA YadA, But I mean,

738
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: you look at the numbers and that's exactly what it

739
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: says right there. So what did you guys take away

740
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: from that call? And I think that jameis Winston. Uh,

741
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: the analogy is kind of misleading because he only had

742
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty yards to pass it with five touchdowns,

743
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: which is crazy efficiency efficient. Yeah, this is a crazy

744
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 1: stat though in itself. But you know, I think that's

745
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: what that's why we opened up with. I think that's

746
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: just where the league is going. And I think for

747
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: people that don't understand that mind state, it's kind of troubling.

748
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: And we abandoned the run in the first quarter. We

749
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: was tied seven seven and we just quit And yeah, boy,

750
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: and a lot of times when people do that, when

751
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: you see teams um stop running, it's because they're behind

752
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: by a lot. It was just the game plan. That's

753
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: just what we were going to do. And obviously if

754
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: it was for the protection with reasons, then okay, that

755
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: makes sense, but goodness, we completely abandon it and ship

756
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: I agree with him. I believe that we were. It

757
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: was frustrating to me because we were running the ball effectively.

758
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: I believe that we were when we went outside. Now

759
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: we knew not to even try to go inside. When

760
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: you were going outside, we were getting the good yardage.

761
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 1: And you saw the improvement from Zeke. You saw his explosiveness.

762
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: So yes, I agree, you have to find ways to

763
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: get Zeke the ball even if he comes said the

764
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: expense of throwing another you know, a swing route or

765
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: whatever it maybe swing screen. There's a lot of opportunities

766
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: out there for screens. I don't know if anybody else

767
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: saw that, but a lot of opportunities for swings just

768
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: based upon leverage advantages and things of that nature. But

769
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, he's right. We gotta get We gotta

770
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: get Zeke the ball. And everybody who wants to say

771
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: that Zeke lost something, please, Zeke's gonna break out one

772
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: of these games and everybody's gonna be like, why haven't

773
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: we been giving him the ball? Yeah? For sure? Like no,

774
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: I like, but see that's we do that with Tony

775
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: Pollar too. If we don't, if he doesn't get enough touches.

776
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: And they tried to work him in and then now

777
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 1: it's it's what you just said about the Zeke. It's

778
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: like part of it is they have so many weapons,

779
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: you know, But I agree with you fifty eight times

780
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: is it's too much and and it wasn't just a

781
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 1: pure product of playing from behind. They had the lead

782
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: or within a few points in the second half. I thought, Zeke,

783
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: you're right. I thought he looked great. He looked kind

784
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: of slippery, shifty Zeke we saw in preseason and limited snaps.

785
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: But yeah, maybe more screens, maybe he's more off on

786
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: the outside. I don't disagree with the game plan, Like

787
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: I think the matchups were the matchups on the outside

788
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: and their best bet was throwing. But you know, you

789
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,479
Speaker 1: could get it more involved. Do you guys have any

790
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: friends that you know that you hang out with this

791

840
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: on overreaction Monday around the NFL. This is reflection Monday

841
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: for the Dallas Cowboys. Is the Chargers are on the horizon.

842
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: You chuckle a little bit there. No, I like the

843
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: reflection one. That's good. It's different than overreaction. Yeah. Yeah,

844
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: it's a little less like angry, dramatic sounding. Sure, you know,

845
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: and we'll say it with our chest on Friday and

846
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: we'll do all of that. But yeah, I thought it

847
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: would have be a nice mellow show today after what

848
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: we had Friday. You guys made an impact on Friday.

849
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: I thought I thought I should share that it was fun.

850
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for what? Why would you be sorry? You know?

851
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: The Harrison family has adopted Isaiah and they feel because

852
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,280
Speaker 1: he's the giver of Christmas trees. All right, it's true,

853
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: and so everybody loves it. Was a nice Christmas tree.

854
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: It was a very You didn't you didn't you did not? Yes, yes,

855
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: should we bring that Christmas tree? And everybody knows Uncle's Day.

856
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 1: And so when I said I didn't speak to Isaiah

857
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: on Friday, my Kia says, Daddy, you gotta speak to

858
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I was just she watches the show.

859
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: Oh boy, I love kid that yes show, you gotta

860
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: speak to Gotta gets Christmas tree from my room. We'll

861
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: get you one, baby, We'll get you there. You go

862
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: shout out to Kia in the entire Harrison family. Goodness,

863
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: that's awesome. Okay, final three minutes bones fossil. You were

864
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 1: making a point about him prior to the break anyway

865
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: you want to elaborate on it a little, No, I

866
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: just think that you know, we talked about it last week.

867
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: You guys didn't think that the field goal at the

868
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: end of the second quarter was that impactful. I mean,

869
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: you talk about Tom Brady and all the things that

870
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: he does and you leave him with fifteen twenty seconds

871
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: in a period like that, that could be disaster for you.

872
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 1: Fortunately for us, they didn't have any time out and

873
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: Tom didn't go into his TV twelve magic bag and

874
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: sprinkle some pixie dust on us and score at the

875
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: end of the first half. But that's what that's I mean,

876
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: that's your man, right, that's what he does. And so

877
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,800
Speaker 1: we left a lot out there, and it's just every

878
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: game now has began to be an event of its own,

879
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: like we got a watermelon kick, we got it's just

880
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: just things that are starting to happen. And this is

881
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: I think, this is just who Mike McCarthy is. I mean,

882
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: we got a riverboat run. I don't know what nickname

883
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna give coach Mike. So right now, he's just

884
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,240
Speaker 1: he's just doing a lot of things within his scheme

885
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: and dealing with time that I don't think that a

886
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: lot of NFL head coaches would do. And that's been

887
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 1: his emo. He's been doing it for a while now,

888
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: and at some point it's gonna catch up or it's

889
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: gonna win him a championship. I feel like, you're good.

890
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: I love that reference, but you're you're right. A good

891
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: special teams unit needs to It doesn't have to even

892
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: make plays, it just has to make like it just

893
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 1: has to d Y Jr. Job. That's the best way

894
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 1: to saying. It's almost like an umpire in baseball. It's

895
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 1: like you don't want to remember the umpire's name at

896
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: the end of the baseball game, because that means they

897
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 1: didn't do their job the right way. It's not glorious.

898
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,280
Speaker 1: You're you're glorified within the special team's room. You're glorified

899
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: within your within your team because those guys understand the

900
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: impact that you have. Right when you go down there

901
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 1: on kickoff and you tackle those guys within the inside

902
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: the twenty yard line and your offense is coming, you

903
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 1: know your your your defense is coming out there. You

904
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: give you guys a high five like they understand how

905
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: important it's. It's a thankless job. It's a thankless I mean,

906
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, on the outside it is right unless you

907
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: have a big return or something like that. But interior wise,

908
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: on the team, guys are respected because you understand how

909
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: much of an impact they have on the game. You

910
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: don't field. The possession matters. It freaking matters. Now we

911
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: start talking about somebody these quarterbacks were going up against.

912
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: It matters, right, whether those guys get the ball inside

913
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: the twenty five or whether they get the ball on

914
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: the forty, it matters. It matters. You're saying, bones is

915
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: like Jonah Hill and super Bad. Yes, do it, Mike

916
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: is like Michael Sarah. Yeah, I mean it's um you

917
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: Sillo like Jimmy Brother another great movie. I don't like.

918
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: I don't think Mike just you know, is hearing bones

919
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 1: in his ear and just saying, oh, yeah, whatever, whatever

920
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: you say. I think Mike is has a tendency to

921
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: be aggressive too and take chance. Like Mike throughout his career,

922
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: going on fourth down, he'll do that, you know. So

923
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,399
Speaker 1: I think they both have that kind of mentality. Um,

924
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 1: they were so banged up last year that I think

925
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: they they felt like they had to do some of

926
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: that smoke and mirror stuff. I don't. I don't and

927
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 1: and but John is known for doing that no matter what.

928
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 1: But I think maybe you can do it a little

929
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: less this year than than last year. We'll see. But yeah,

930
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 1: the kick before the halftime was surprising. The last play

931
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: of the game. I mean, they ran a special team's play.

932
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: They didn't put Dak out there for the FID you

933
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: see that. So I was a little surprised to talk

934
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,399
Speaker 1: about Michael Parsons snapped the ball, yeah yeah, and late

935
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 1: Vanderesh was the up back and then who was the

936
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: first one with the carry was a Pollard. Maybe I

937
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: can't remember back it was. It was it was kind

938
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: of Pollard was the quarterback. The quarterback. I guess from

939
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: the distance they were from, they didn't think, you know,

940
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to stretch it with Dak's arm, but

941
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: maybe not. But Dak man m I was surprised by that.

942
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: I was surprised by that. But hey, yeah, we'll talk

943
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: a little bit about that tomorrow. But tomorrow we're gonna
