Speaker 1: fantasy sport. There is a contest for every fan Fan

00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: Duel more ways to win. Hi, everybody, and welcome to

6
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: our Monday morning podcast. Matt Moseley, my Cowboy Guy, My

7
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboy Guy. We have to talk about something beyond

8
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. I'll be joining in ten minutes. Very very

9
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: weird Sunday. I didn't think Mike White and Trevor Simeon

10
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna go gangster on Sunday in the NFL. Gotta

11
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: be honest. Totally threw me for a loop. Let's talk

12
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: Steelers Browns. So Cleveland's passing games got a problem. You

13
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: cannot have the best offensive line in the league, O

14
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: B J. Jarvis Landry, above average tight ends, a good

15
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: running game, injuries are not and be scoring ten points.

16
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: This was the third game where Baker Mayfield did not

17
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: have a touchdown pass. This is the best offensive line

18
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,919
Speaker 1: in the league. Clearly the coaching staff does not trust

19
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. Kevin Stefanski is a brilliant play caller, midfield,

20
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: couple of yards all you need. They don't trust the quarterback,

21
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter if it's Baker may Field's fault

22
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: or not. That that's not the issue. If you're in

23
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: a movie and you're one of the headliners and it

24
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: bombs at the box office, it sticks to you. Cleveland

25
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: is incredibly lucky. Cincinnati lost because they're four and four

26
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: and right now do not look like a playoff team.

27
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter whose fault it is. They want to

28
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: trade Odell Beckham, who I don't think's completely washed, but

29
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: he's expensive and brittle. I called a general manager on

30
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: Sunday and ask him his thoughts about OBJ and his

31
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: thoughts were, he doesn't have the burst he used to

32
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: and he's super expensive. I think they should have made

33
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: this move last year. I understand hanging onto him for

34
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: a deep threat. He's explosive and that's where the league's going.

35
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter if you want to defend Baker Mayfield.

36
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: They're four and four, third game, no touchdown passes, and

37
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: the coaching staff does not trust him. They did not

38
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: trust them against the Chargers. Remember that third and ten

39
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: ran the football. They do not trust him against the

40
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: Steelers at home. And this is not a dynamic Pittsburgh offense.

41
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: So whether it's two as fault or not. He had

42
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: four straight three and ounce in Buffalo on Sunday and

43
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: the third quarter the owner was there, not saying the

44
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: protection was good, not saying the running game was good.

45
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: It falls on you. You're the quarterback. So Cleveland's passing

46
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: game right now is out of sync. The OBJ situations bad,

47
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: and Baker Mayfield wants to get compensated. There's absolutely no

48
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: way you can give him the bag. You cannot consider it.

49
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: At this point. This team is just off. I thought

50
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: this was one of the locks of the day with

51
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. They never got in a rhythm and the

52
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: passing game right now is completely broken. Let's pivot to

53
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: the Colts Titans. I thought the Colts season rested in

54
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: the balance with this win against Tennessee. They lost it,

55
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: and I see them now as a team on the

56
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: outside looking in. I think it's a well coached team

57
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: and a good roster. You know, sometimes you're actually better

58
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: off being bad at quarterback. So at least everybody in

59
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: the building knows after this year they have one more

60
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: big year of a Carson Wentz salary. And Carson Wentz

61
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: didn't just lose that game to the Titans, he lost

62
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: it like three different times. He's basically a more talented

63
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. Big moves, six four and a half, two

64
00:03:53,560 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: thirty five, big arm, and incredibly bad judgment, incredibly reckless.

65
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: So as much as I like the Colts, they're not

66
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: great at left tackle, they're not great at corner, they're

67
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: not great at wide receiver, and they're good and not

68
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: special at quarterback. He's just too reckless. And this really

69
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: is a fundamental truth about the National Football League in

70
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. You can be really solid everywhere, but

71
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: you got to be great at receiver, great at quarterback,

72
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: great at left tackle, and probably at least have one

73
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: great corner to be a special team. The Colts are

74
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: okay at those positions, really strong everywhere else, and I

75
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: think their season is done, and I think they're splitting

76
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: the building on what to do with Carson Wentz. I

77
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: think Frank Reich wants him. He's one of those quarterbacks

78
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: he divides a building. And even when he was vying

79
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: for the MVP years ago, I don't remember him being

80
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: this reckless with the football, but it appears to be worse.

81
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: He does not have a star wide receiver consistently, and

82
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: so you know, we talk about this like Patrick Muho,

83
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: He's trying to make plays and it's really bad. And

84
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: I think you have a divided room. I think you

85
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: have divided executives who just don't know what the hell

86
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: to do with Carson Wentz. Let me segue to Mac

87
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: Jones in New England. So the last twelve quarters of

88
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: mac Jones, the four against the Chargers, the four against

89
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: the Jets, the four against the Cowboys, and the second

90
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: half against the Texans. Here's what's really encouraging for New England.

91
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: He's gotten out of the awful throw business. Now they

92
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: have receivers into Kiel Harry and Jacoby Myers that just

93
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: don't separate. They just don't. They're not a highly effective

94
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: passing team. They have to do it with screens underneath routes,

95
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: a lot of deception. But more than any young quarterback.

96
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: And we heard Mac Jones is smart, he's accurate, he

97
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: won't make big mistakes. Twice the last fourteen quarters i've

98
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: watched him. New England feels like a playoff team. To me,

99
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: Cleveland doesn't today. Cleveland doesn't today. Chargers, I'm on the

100
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: fence about New England feels like a playoff team. Great coach,

101
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: tremendous veteran offensive coordinator, an efficient quarterback, a stingy defense,

102
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: and one of the best kickers in football folk. So

103
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: really encouraging for Mac Jones. You have to feel great

104
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,799
Speaker 1: about this if you're a Patriot fan. I don't think

105
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: he has a terribly high ceiling. I don't think anybody

106
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: listening to this podcast does. But your first couple years

107
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: in this league, the quicker you can get out of

108
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: the terrible throw business, the better, And from what I've

109
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: seen from mac Jones, he's already moved out of it.

110
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: I want to talk forty nine Ers and Chicago Bears.

111
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: So college football is a developmental business, and the NFL

112
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: ideally would be. But if you're Kyle Shanahan, you do

113
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: not have time to develop Trey Lance. I was talking

114
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: to somebody in the scouting business yesterday. You don't have

115
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: time to develop him. You have to win games. The

116
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: head coach of the forty nine Ers, if you're Kyle

117
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: Shanahan and you're the play caller, you have no time

118
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: to develop Trey Lance. And so for the people looking

119
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: for that to happen, as long as Garoppolo wins, you're

120
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: going to keep him in there. When a head coach

121
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: is a play caller, he's out of the development business.

122
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: Trey Lance is going to have to develop in the

123
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: off season. And you know, it's funny about I talked

124
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: last week about the con of Twitter is that you know,

125
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was the overwhelming favorite to get the Democratic nomination,

126
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: but Twitter would lead you believe he was old, he

127
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: had no shot, he wanted a landslide. Twitter would have

128
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: you believe yesterday, I'm watching this in Justin Fields was

129
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: literally the start of the game. Jimmy Garoppolo was seventeen

130
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: to twenty eight, three hundred twenty five yards, ran for

131
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. The Niners won thirty three twenty two. Justin

132
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: Fields had three really remarkable plays. He also had a pick,

133
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: went nineteen for twenty seven and three four hundred and

134
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: seventy five yards. If you were on Twitter yesterday, you

135
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: would have thought Justin Fields put up the form into

136
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: the afternoon. Hell, he was the second best quarterback in Chicago.

137
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: Garoppolo even ran for two touchdowns. Now Deebo Samuel helped

138
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: take one of those little passes out in the flat

139
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: for about eighty yards. But this is what I've talked about.

140
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: You have to watch the games. Garoppolo's ability to get

141
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: him in and out of trouble. I thought they actually

142
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: coached with a little bit of confidence with Jimmy Garoppolo,

143
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: and he played very, very well. But as long as

144
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: he wins, they're going to plan because you cannot develop

145
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: Trey Lance in the middle of a season. Developing is

146
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: putting him out there like justin fields and letting him play.

147
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: And right now he's not as good as Jimmy Garoppolo.

148
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: So an interesting team and this is the power of

149
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: really good coaching and we're seeing this with Belichick in

150
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: New England. He has got mac Jones up to speed

151
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: and now they feel like they have a chance to

152
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. So Sean Payton's a great coach. Jamis

153
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: Winston gets hurt, Taysom Hills and concussion protocol until next week,

154
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: so they bring in Trevor Simeon, who, by the way,

155
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: for about an hour or two the Denver Broncos thought

156
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: he could be the future. Smart kid went to the the Northwestern,

157
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: does not have a terribly lively arm, but makes good decisions,

158
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: get you in and out of trouble, can deliver stuff,

159
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: and again, Trevor Simeon can win you games. You're not

160
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: going to build around him. So it is interesting when

161
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: I watch the Saints because DeShawn Jackson wants out of

162
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: the Rams speed receiver and O. B J needs to

163
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: be out of Cleveland. Keep your eye in the Saints.

164
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: Here's why Michael Thomas is coming back. Taysom Hill is

165
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: coming back. They're five and two in a division where

166
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: Atlanta and Carolina are very average. In a conference the

167
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 1: NFC where there are not seven teams get into the playoffs,

168
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: there are not seven good teams. Keep your eye on

169
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. Five and two, great coach, great defense.

170
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: They have mark ingram Now and Alvin Kamara, two good backs.

171
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: Hill comes back with Trevor Simeon when Michael Thomas returns.

172
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: The one thing the Saints don't have is a dependable

173
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: deep threat. Tuesday at four pm Eastern, one pm Pacific

174
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: is the trading deadline. If you watched O. B J

175
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: One hand attempt to catch against the Steelers, I mean

176
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: talk about nonchalant. I guarantee it. Kevin's defense, He's going

177
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 1: to see that he wants out. It's time to move him.

178
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: And to Sean Jackson. If you're Sean Payton, I've got

179
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: a defense. I love my coaching. I like my offensive line.

180
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: We have now Ingram and Alvin Kamara. By the way,

181
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: Camara maybe the best catching running back of my lifetime

182
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: is insane. I and Michael Thomas comes back. Michael Thomas

183
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: is not a deep threat. Keep your eye on that

184
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: because I think they I think the Saints look at

185
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: this NFC and think we match up with Tampa. I

186
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: think they think their defense matches up with Green Bay,

187
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: matches up with Dallas. I'm not sure if they match

188
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: up with the Rams, but they could convince themselves of

189
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 1: that one. To keep your eye on all right. Monday

190
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: night matchup. FanDuel Sports Books about to make it even

191
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: bigger because FanDuel's given new customers thirty to one odds

192
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: on either team to win. That means you can end

193
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: the NFL week right by winning one hundred and fifty

194
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: bucks and a five dollars bet well. I initially like

195
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs to cover a nine point spread.

196
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: The spread is now up to ten and a half

197
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: at FanDuel, the New York Giants getting ten and a half.

198
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs are a much better team and

199
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: are going to win. The Giants tend to be a

200
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: pretty good road team. I'd probably take the Giants plus

201
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: ten and a half. I don't think they have any

202
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: chance to win, but that would probably be my side. Listen.

00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: I bring in my buddy cover the Cowboys for a

225
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: long time. Matt Moseley also part of the volume. He

226
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: is a regular at the volume. He is our Cowboys

227
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: sourced and he makes me laugh. So I'm gonna say

228
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: something and I'm gonna sound like some damn troll. I

229
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: couldn't tell the difference between Cooper Rush and Kirk Cousins.

230
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: And I'm not joking. If you would have never if

231
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: you would have never watched an NFL game and said

232
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: who's the starter and who's the backup, I'm not joking.

233
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: I really felt that, am I nuts well, would I

234
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: think something the Cowboys defense had something to do with

235
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: what happened to Cousins. He has his moments. I think

236
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: you said it. I think I saw it on Twitter.

237
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: You said something about Parsons. We probably need to talk

238
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: about Parsons at some point because he was unbelievable. He

239
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: was really good against the Charges earlier this season, and

240
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: he was great in this game, and he took it over.

241
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: I think this is a game that people that maybe

242
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: Vikings fans that aren't Zimmer fans, and I'm a big

243
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: Zimmer fan and I've known him for a long time.

244
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: I like him too. I think Mike is going to

245
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: take this one personally. I think I think the fact

246
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: that they were able to get this thing done with

247
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 1: Russian it's not like they got like a ton. I mean,

248
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: I thought Zeke made a great play late in the game. Yes,

249
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: I thought that was I thought, yeah. I mean now,

250
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, this is why you pay him a

251
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: lot of money. Zeke's a great player. That's a Dalvin

252
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: Cook moment. That's a Zeke moment. There's about three guys

253
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb maybe, but you know what you know beyond

254
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons I think Randy Gregory has been really, really

255
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: disruptive for the Cowboys opposing offensive lines. This is one

256
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: of these years, Matt, And this is the way it

257
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: works a lot of times in the NFL. It's not

258
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: a dynasty league. Despite what the Patriots have done to

259
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: win big in this league. This was Tampa last year.

260
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: He needed about six guys to have career years, and

261
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory's having a career year. He's playing great. Yeah,

262
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: think about the fact that their best supposedly their best offender,

263
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: de Marcus Lawrence, has not stepped foot on the field

264
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: yet they survived this game, I think. I mean, I

265
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: was having visions early of the nuts, the great Ben

266
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: d Nucci on a Sunday night, and I thought, oh,

267
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: this is not going to go well, and they kind

268
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: of hung in there, hung in there. This will be

269
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: another one. You know. I've told you before when I

270
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: think the Jones is like, a win means so much

271
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: to them, the Jones family. This is enormous for them

272
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: because it's one of the first times ever that they

273
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: that they've been that compromised and they've gotten a win,

274
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: whether it was with Dalton Dnucci, all these people they've

275
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: had brat Johnson. In the past, Brandon Weedon, these things

276
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: have not gone their way. But to your point on Gregory,

277
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: this is a game. You know where they won this game?

278
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: Um is there a few areas, but one was that

279
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: drive where all that craziness happened to them. Where a

280
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: stupid call on Gregory when literally he hits a guy

281
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: that's still in bounds. Okay, that's a bad, bad call.

282
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: The other one he kind of shoved a guy and

283
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: the guy fell down. I mean there were some real

284
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: crazy calls. I think there were three unnecessary roughness calls

285
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: on that one drive and they still held them to

286
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: a field goal with like three and a half minutes left,

287
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: and then you need Cooper Rush to take you down

288
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: the field and he somehow gets it done. I mean,

289
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: that's the kind of win that they really haven't had

290
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: in the past, and they got it with a this

291
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: is not even adult and level quarterback. I mean, I

292
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: know we'll have a lot of fun with this. And

293
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: his family was there, and I think it is funny

294
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: and maybe kind of true. What you said, Cousins is

295
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: just kind of where they look the same is quarterbacks

296
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: like that loved to unleash throws off their back foot,

297
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: and that's what like Cousins at some point has just

298
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: decided I've got it's this incredible arm I can do

299
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: whatever I need to do. And he just got exposed

300
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: throughout a lot of that game. You know, I've been

301
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: talking about this, Matt. What's happening in the NFL is

302
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: a good quarterback is no longer good enough. This is

303
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: where Brady talks about it's a skills competition. Now, Tom

304
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: had a terrible day, and it happens. I mean the

305
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: great one. Tom hasn't had a perfect season yet. I

306
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: mean he had two stinkers last year, he had a stinker.

307
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: He had three stinkers last year. He had a stinker today.

308
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: But I will say this, Kirk Cousins is good. But

309
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,239
Speaker 1: that's just not good enough, especially in a division. If

310
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: you start looking at the NFC, McVay Stafford, Okay, Aaron Rodgers, Lafleur, okay,

311
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: Brady Arians. Those are great quarterbacks with offensive head coaches.

312
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: So you give Kirk Cousins Mike Zimmer, who's conservative by nature.

313
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: And that's the difference to me, Matt, is that if

314
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: the NFC is not as deep as the AFC, I

315
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: mean New Orleans right now. To me, I mean, if

316
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: Jamis stays healthy, I think they're a leading wildcard team.

317
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: I mean, look around. Washington's a dud, Minnesota is a dud.

318
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: So I mean, I think kirk Cousins with McVay or

319
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins with Lafleur would give him a little extra life.

320
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: But I think with Zimmer, I think it just there's

321
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: no creative exceptionalism with that. And so I think kirk

322
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: Cousins is good. But that's not good in twenty twenty one.

323
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: It's not good enough. No, I agree, And this has

324
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: been him for a while. He just does good enough

325
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: to keep getting deals and keep you know, he's gotten

326
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: the extension, beating Detroit, beating Chicago. You know this year,

327
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: I watched them against Cleveland's defense, he stunk. I watched

328
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 1: them in the Arizona game, he lost. I watched them

329
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys defense. He's mediocre. Again, you can win

330
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,719
Speaker 1: eight nine games with that. Yeah, But the boy the

331
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: top top of the NFC, Matt, You're gonna have to

332
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: go up against great quarterbacks. You know, let's let's talk

333
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: about this too. We can all bang on McCarthy, but

334
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: there is something to be said that the team plays

335
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: their ass off with him. So you and I can

336
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: roll our eyes at guys, but let's go back to

337
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: last year between Dan quinn and Mike McCarthy and Dak.

338
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: You know, Dak and McCarthy, for all we know, may

339
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: get along really well. You tell me you're around the team.

340
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: I think it is a really good relationship. I think that.

341
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: I think what what McCarthy did that was smart was

342
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: understand that Kellen Moore and Dak had something that was

343
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: different from most most coach player relationships. And he sort

344
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: of let those guys because they sort of had a

345
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: bond and a friendship as players first, and then he

346
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: had the trust of more and they've really sort of

347
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: grown together. And so I think the best thing you

348
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: can say about McCarthy is he has thick enough skin

349
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: to realize when he has a good thing going and

350
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: he's not. You know, I get frustrated with some of

351
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: the things he does. I mean, the special team stuff

352
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: sometimes can be bizarre. But I like the Jones family

353
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: loves this guy. He's been perfect. He's fine with Jerry

354
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: taking the lead and still being out front. And I

355
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: think what you're about to see is. I mean, Kellen

356
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: Moore is going to have any job he wants, whether

357
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: that be Chicago or whatever. He's going to have five

358
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: to ten, but five to ten opportunities wherever. Wherever he

359
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: wants to go, he'll go. He could have at any

360
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: of these college jobs if he wanted it. That's how

361
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: I think coveted And this was a big win for

362
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: him because it proved what happens with coaches is they

363
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: get connected to certain quarterbacks, and Dak and Kelen have

364
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: become extremely close, and so there's always this kind of thought, well,

365
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: is it just because he has this great quarterbacks. I'm

366
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: not saying that's fair, but I think in this case,

367
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: this win getting it done with a compromise quarterback. And

368
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: for instance, if they had to go five to six

369
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: games with Rush, they'd be very fortunate to go five hundred.

370
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 1: They'd be very, very fortunate to do that. But they

371
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: gotta win on the road in a tough environment tonight,

372
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 1: and it was big. Yeah. I mean, listen, Trevor Simeon

373
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: gotta win over Brady outplayed him, Mike White gotta win

374
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: over Joe Burrow. I've always said this, like when you

375
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: don't know a guy's deficiencies. You know, when a guy

376
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 1: comes in late, you haven't watched film on him, you

377
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: don't know his deficiencies. So you can win games tibo

378
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: one seven straight. You can win games with a lot

379
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: of guys. Think about this. On Sunday, Cooper Rush beat

380
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, Mike White beat Joe Burrow, and Trevor Simeon

381
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: beat Brady. Now if they played next week, it'd be

382
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: a whole different ball game. But I don't know. As

383
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: I watched that Cowboy game, I come back to something

384
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 1: that if you even in the NBA, in the NFL,

385
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: you do need guys to be having career years. And

386
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: I think Jerry Jones can take a lot of heat,

387
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: but he's always been pro player and sticking with Randy Gregory,

388
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: heat to me is such a disruptive force if he

389
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: stays healthy and maintains his level of play. And Micah

390
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: Parsons is terrific, And you bring back to Marcus Lawrence,

391
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: this is a really, really athletic front. That's how it

392
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,239
Speaker 1: feels to me. It does in what they did in

393
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 1: controlling that line of scrimmage, and you saw Cousins, he

394
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: got extremely uncomfortable and you realize, Colin, they're doing this

395
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: with defensive tackles that nobody I mean, O'diggy Zuwa is

396
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: a rookie. Dawrence Armstrong came out of Kansas. I mean

397
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: he was maybe third or fourth round pick years ago.

398
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: And the guys that actually have decent names like Gallimore

399
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: and de Marcus Lawlawrence are not even playing Urban's out

400
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: right now and they're getting all sorts of push. But

401
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: to your point about Gregory, Gregory is Jerry's missed on

402
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: a lot of those kind of guys. Okay, where he

403
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: a guy that has either mental health issues or marijuana issues.

404
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: He's had some issues. This is a different guy. This

405
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: guy had huge substance abuse issues or marijuana issues related

406
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: to the mental illness. And I really think actually this

407
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: guy was trying to use that to deal with it.

408
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: He's tremendous. I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what

409
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: he reminds me of because his size, he's not quite

410
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: as tall as this guy. But during those nineties teams,

411
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: leon Lett was just he was unstoppable force and he

412
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: could line up in the middle. And you see what

413
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 1: they do with Gregory is they'll loop him around on

414
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: those stunts in those guards. They can't pass him off.

415
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: He's athletic, so he's shooting those gaps and they can't

416
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: do it. And then what's fun to watch too is

417
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: Parsons is so fast and you had a good quote

418
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: about it or a good tweet something along the lines

419
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: of from an athletics standpoint, he's just sort of separate

420
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: from all these other players. You see, he doesn't look

421
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 1: like other players. He doesn't And so in space, we're

422
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: conditioned to see a smaller, fast, quick twitch back beat

423
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: a big dude in space, and they don't beat him

424
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: like he breaks them down and makes the tackle in

425
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: space pretty much every time. And that's that's that's that's

426
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 1: strange to see. But you know, I thought was interesting.

427
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: Michael Gallops also, you know this has been Cedric Wilson,

428
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: Cedee Lamb, Amari Cooper and the and the tight end.

429
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: You know, Amari Cooper is an interesting player because we

430
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: talked about this, I think on my show last week,

431
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: I said Amari Cooper is perfect for the Patriots. He

432
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: runs great routes, he's totally responsible, he's a hard worker,

433
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: and they can't draft a receiver. But I thought he

434
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: had one of the plays of the season for the

435
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys up that right sideline as I'm watching on television. God,

436
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 1: that was a great play by Amari Cooper. It's funny

437
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: because Ceedee Lamb nationally gets a lot of attention because

438
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 1: he's a spectacular talent. He had a big drop by

439
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: the way in this game that could have been could

440
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: have been a you know, a game changer in Dallas.

441
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: How had the receiving corps discussed. Is Amari Cooper still

442
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: the guy? I think Amari is very trusted. I think

443
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: it's Cowboys fans are trained to see him laid in

444
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: games on a tennis ball like you saw him tonight,

445
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,719
Speaker 1: having some kind of issue, and so I think that

446
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: is in the back of people's minds that for whatever reason,

447
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: sometimes he has a little trouble fighting through games and

448
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: is not always there for them at the end of

449
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: the games. But he fought back tonight and was shoot.

450
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: So I think there's two things at work. The acrobatic

451
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior. I know he's not that great anymore,

452
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: but that sort of the guy he used to be.

453
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: That's CD. That's two people. What people think of the

454
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: flash and dash, whereas Amari is the dependable. I mean,

455
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: it's weird to call him a possession receiver, but I

456
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: mean I think he's I think he's proven that he's

457
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 1: one of the best route runners in the NFL. And

458
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: then and then you saw it tonight, Cedric Wilson. We

459
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: think about it one of the reasons they're not having

460
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: to rush Michael Gallop back. I think he could be

461
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: ready for next week. And he was a really good

462
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: third option in this Cedric Wilson's a big play type receiver,

463
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: and he's the one who had the seventy three yard touchdown,

464
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: and he gets in the open field and he's really good.

465
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: So when Gallup comes back, they're going to have like

466
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: four great wide receivers. You know, it's really interesting. I

467
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: was talking to Steve Kim, the Arizona Cardinal GM a

468
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago on this podcast, and he said, Colin,

469
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: there's never been more good receivers and there's never been

470
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: fewer corners. He goes, if you have three good receivers

471
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: by the time you get to your third receiver against

472
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: their third best corner, it's complete Nutter mismatch. If you

473
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: look at the NFC, we all know this, Matt, you're

474
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: going to have to score points to in the NFC.

475
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys' strength is, you know, they pass protect

476
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: Dac and those receivers. Same with la Stafford and those receivers.

477
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: Same with Tampa braiding those receivers. Same with Arizona Kyler

478
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: and their offensive weapons. So Dallas, there's a lot of

479
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: different ways to win in football, like in the NFC.

480
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: Baltimore in Tennessee don't feel like the top of the NFC.

481
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: They feel very AFC. But I look at Dallas and

482
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: I don't mean to be hyper on it, but I'm like, yeah,

483
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: they match up with all these teams. In fact that

484
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: I would. I think they have a more consistent pass

485
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: rush in the Rams. I think Arizona has got a

486
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: pretty good consistent pass rush all J. J. Watts out.

487
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,719
Speaker 1: I look at this Dallas team right now, Matt, I

488
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: think they match up with all the top teams in

489
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: the NFC. I think you can make an argument on

490
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: a neutral field those lines are one and two point spreads,

491
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: I really do. And they're about to get, you know

492
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,959
Speaker 1: where other people are having to maybe try to use

493
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: this trade deadline. They're about to get these these folks back.

494
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: That's right, and I and with with Lawrence, it's only

495
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: going to help. And then those young guys that have

496
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: gotten all this time will only get better and uh,

497
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: and they're gonna you know, I think even um Kelvin Joseph,

498
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 1: who they took in the second round is going to

499
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 1: get in there and help them. And he could be

500
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: he could be a really good corner. I mean you

501
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: saw at times and again that's what's gonna frustrate the

502
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: Zimmer and you know that whole uh, that whole Viking

503
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: staff digs as great as he's been, just gets beat

504
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: on those crossers. I mean you see it. He's just

505
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: he's he's trailing forever. And you have such, you know,

506
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: some some big opportunities and they just did not take

507
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: a full advantage of. So what happened is Cowboys kind

508
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: of found their footing in this game and then fought

509
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: their way back. But I think this is a I

510
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: think this is a great win for them. And then

511
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: it was funny what they that was the biggest drama

512
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: before the game I've ever seen, Like I've seen them

513
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: have game time decision with quarterbacks. And I'm always in

514
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: touch with the medical folks and everybody, and we're all

515
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: trying to find out and worder and everybody else. I mean,

516
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: they were down there on the field taking video. He's

517
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: talking to this person, he's talking to this down He

518
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: was never he was never gonna play, and they put

519
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: him through that entire pregame workout just to screw with

520
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: Zimmer and to mess with the Vikings and to think,

521
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: oh maybe, because so in their minds they did have

522
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: to prepare for two quarterbacks and rush just a different

523
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: kind of quarterback does different things. Certainly not anywhere nearly

524
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: as good as a as good as Dak. But that

525
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: whole thing was just a complete show, a game time decision,

526
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,239
Speaker 1: and it was hilarious because as the media, we just

527
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: bite on those things. I mean, just breathless updates. Now

528
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: now he's doing this, Now he's on the resistance courts,

529
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: now he's and and they do have an unbelievable athletic

530
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,479
Speaker 1: training staff. But everybody was in on this deal. This

531
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: was sort of a big setup. And but what they

532
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: did is this. He could have played, and he certainly

533
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: would have played if it was a playoff game. But

534
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: I think he'll have a lot more confidence and the

535
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys will have more confidence in that calf next week. Okay,

536
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: So let's look at the Cowboys schedule right now. So

537
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: they are they are running away with their division. So

538
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: let's look at the Cowboys schedules. So they Cowboy, they

539
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: got some interesting games coming up. So they host the Bronchos.

540
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: I watched the Broncos. They're a mess offensively, and again

541
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: another weak armed quarter back in Teddy Bridgewater who's not

542
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: overly athletics, so it plays right into Dallas's front, by

543
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: the way, then they get Matt Ryan at home, another

544
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: weak armed quarterback that's not athletic, plays into Dallas's front. Okay,

545
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: then they go to Kansas City. But again, Kansas City

546
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: is a team that can't stop to run. So I

547
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: hope you know that. But it looks I look at

548
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: your schedule and I see Teddy Bridgewater and Matt Ryan

549
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: coming to Dallas. Boy. Then we head into Thanksgiving weekend,

550
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: raiders at the Cowboys, Cowboys, Saints, Cowboys, Washington Cowboys, Giants. Boy,

551
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of wins on this Washington Dallas. There's

552
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: a lot of wins here. Arizona has to come to Dallas. God,

553
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: I'm I'm what am I gotta put the pom poms

554
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: down here? What the hell's happening with me? I just

555
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: I look at this. I just look at this team,

556
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: and I see I see an athletic defensive front. I

557
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: see terrific playmakers on the edge. I see a head

558
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,239
Speaker 1: coach that kind of lets his cord nas coach. And

559
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: by the way I see Zeke and Tony Pollard, I

560
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: get power, I get quick. I see everything I want.

561
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: If I'm a fan, I think if I'm gonna shoot

562
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: holes in anything. You got to keep an eye on

563
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith. That that thing got away from him a

564
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: little bit tonight. At one point the game of the

565
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: TA they had that Insecci over there at left tackle.

566
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy is very stubborn about the offensive line. Now,

567
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: he did do the inverted did you see those formations? Tonight?

568
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: They had Lyle Collins and McGovern back in the backfield,

569
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: so they had seven offensive line. That's another thing about it.

570
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: They're kind of fun. They're doing some weird stuff. But

571
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: what he won't do, like he'll have a guy like

572
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: Lele Collins who can playwright tackle, can play either of

573
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: the guard spots, and certainly has the talent to play

574
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: left tackle. But Mike's kind of stubborn, and if if

575
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: he has a guy that hasn't been lining up at

576
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: left tackle, he's been practicing this other guy at left tackle.

577
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: So I would look for that one thing they need

578
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: to do with Collins if they're going to try to

579
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: keep him as some kind of backup right now, and

580
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: he'll be the most talented backup tackle in the game

581
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: in the league right now because he's really really good.

582
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: He's just undependable. But they need to start playing him

583
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: at at left tackle. So that's I think for every

584
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: everything looks pretty good. They also are they're you know,

585
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: Connor Williams is not very good. Terrence Steele on the

586
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: right side has been fantastic, has great. Yeah, yeah, I

587
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: think he's I think he's good. And he got all

588
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: the I mean, you love this off season stuff he won.

589
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: He won all the off season weightlifting awards. I know

590
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: you're into that and I like that stuff. Yeah, that's

591
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: what I was like Mosley in the newsrooms I worked at.

592
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: I would win those awards. I was the hard worker.

593
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: I'd win the Parking Space awards. You were out there

594
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: having a good time and having tequila. Being the man

595
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: about town. I was out there doing sit ups getting

596
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: the parking spot for Channel three in Vegas. You know,

597
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: I grew up something Baptist. I don't even do it.

598
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: Tequila looks like, well, this was fun, Okay. Mostly you

599
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: just got a big fat check. We love having you

600
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: at the volume. Do you do anything else you want

601
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: to talk about? Give me a game? Is there any

602
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: other game you wanted to discuss? Would you'll have my

603
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: address by the way for those checks? I just want

604
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 1: to make sure. Yeah, hey, Andrew, let's get the end.

605
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: We'd get the you know, he's a Southern Baptist, there's

606
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: no state tax. He's an ethical man, so it's not

607
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: let's not play around on that. Let's get these things going.

608
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:33,720
Speaker 1: Other games Callie. You know your guy Baker. I hated

609
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,919
Speaker 1: it for him that that his receiver let him down.

610
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: I thought that was that was a you know, that's

611
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: one of those games that was ugly, ugly, ugly, But

612
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 1: if you kind of hung with it and were invested

613
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 1: in it, there were some really fun things about that game.

614
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: The hitting, you know, the Steelers, to healing the problem,

615
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: the problem they had a fourth and tuitor about the

616
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: fifty and Stefanski wouldn't go for it. And if you if,

617
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: if you went back to that charging day, third and ten.

618
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: I don't think they trust Baker. I don't think Stefanski's

619
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: not going to say it publicly, but the passing game

620
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: is broken, and I don't think Stefanski trusts him. I

621
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 1: watched the play calling and their defense, by the way,

622
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,280
Speaker 1: was playing well and the Steeler offense was not lethal,

623
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: like I don't and I think Stefanski's a brilliant play caller.

624
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: He doesn't trust Baker. There might be something to that,

625
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: but you had to get inspired when Baker got killed

626
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: over on the sideline and he got up and gave that.

627
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the stuff, man. That's that's why

628
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 1: that fan base connects with him. That in all the commercials.

629
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm working on a theory, by the way,

630
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: you like, you know, cap turned backwards and all things

631
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: like that. You like theories like this, you know, like

632
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: I like a Staley. I think the offensive coaches that

633
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 1: are cleanly shaven like Kellen Moore probably could not grow stubble,

634
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: like there's no way, but Stefanski with that gray stubble

635
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: is a weird that's a weird look to me, and

636
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: I I'm you don't like it. I'm working on this,

637
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: but I think the I think that like the Sean Payton,

638
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: the no stubble offensive coaches always just out Kingsbury the guys.

639
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Kingsbury will only do stubble like in the

640
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: off season for dating. Good point. Yeah, this is we

641
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: have to let this bake a little and come back

642
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: with something strong next week. You mean, like, clean up

643
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 1: this mess I just made. Come back. We'll look at

644
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: the tape, try to clean it up a little bit. Yes,

645
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,120
