Man, there's some real, real concerns the 20 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 6: Cowboys are dealing with heading into this game. We'll tell 21 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 6: you what we think is going to happen from the 22 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 6: standpoint of some of the matchups in this game. Amber's 23 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 6: got some questions for us. In the second segment, and 24 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 6: then the final segment of the show, we're going to 25 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,559 Speaker 6: focus in on the NFC, talk a little bit about 26 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 6: some of the scenarios where the cow Man they're looking 27 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 6: like nobody wants to play, right, But we're gonna talk 28 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 6: about some of those scenarios in NFC and where teams 29 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 6: are lining up, and how this thing is going toward 30 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 6: the end, and give you some of the ideas of 31 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 6: there's so many games this weekend that the Cowboys will 32 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 6: have a vested interest in. So we'll lay some of 33 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 6: that out for you. 34 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 5: Guys. 35 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 6: You know how you should be rooting if you're rooting 36 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 6: for the Cowboys. So let's get this thing going. Let's 37 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 6: jump right in. Let's talk about first injuries we got 38 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 6: Tyron Smith and Zach Martin. I think those are the 39 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 6: two that everyone's really paying attention to. What are we 40 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 6: hearing at this point? 41 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 5: All right, so ladies and gentlemen, bear with me. I 42 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 5: am back. I'm feeling better, but my voice is still 43 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 5: somewhere in hell. I'm waiting for that to join us 44 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 5: injury wise, Tyron Smith and Zach Martin, like you said 45 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 5: in hearing what Jerry Jones on General Menal j Jerry Jones, 46 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 5: A head coach Mike McCarthy said in their conversations, with 47 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 5: one O five three the fan this morning. It's not 48 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 5: a lot of optimism. Mike said that Zach is ahead 49 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 5: of Tyrann as far as the possibility of playing against 50 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 5: the Dolphins, But based on some conversations I'm having and 51 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 5: it being a reaggravation of that quad contusion, it's not 52 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 5: exactly looking like sunshines and the rainbow. So I'd put 53 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 5: Zack at about a fifty to fifty, maybe a little 54 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 5: bit less than fifty. I'm completely pessimistic on if Tyron 55 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 5: Smith is going to take the field at all, and 56 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 5: then that puts you again in an offensive line flux 57 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 5: and then against a defensive line that is that excels 58 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 5: at getting pressures and getting their hands on the quarterback. 59 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 5: So if one or both of those guys are out, 60 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 5: and it looks like it's possible that one or both 61 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 5: of them will be out, then you're really gonna have 62 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 5: your hands full up front. 63 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's this morning. 64 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 7: They were saying that, especially with Tyrann, they're gonna carry 65 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 7: that thing all the way up until the very last minute, 66 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 7: is all that. And I was asking about, you know, Sunday, 67 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 7: and they're like, we're gonna give them. 68 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 3: Every possibility every minute. 69 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 7: So yeah, hold your breath on that when whatever football 70 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 7: gods you pray to go. 71 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 3: Ahead and go for it. 72 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 7: So but yeah, the thing with Martin, we we interviewed 73 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 7: Zach yesterday one. 74 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 3: Five three the Fan first Week Interview. Thank you. 75 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 7: He's after we stopped asking about how to put Christmas 76 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 7: toys together, then we started getting the nuts of bolts 77 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 7: of football, and uh. 78 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 3: You know, he's always going to tell you he's fine. 79 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 7: He's always going to tell you that, hey, I'm good 80 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,119 Speaker 7: to you know, everything's good and all that. 81 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 8: Uh. 82 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 7: But like Patrick says, I think that these both are 83 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 7: are we're looking at probably maybe Martin with the chance that. 84 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 7: I don't think that the Tyron Smith one is going 85 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 7: to work out for you this game. I just just 86 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 7: just talking. I mean, when you start to talk about 87 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 7: the very last minute, We've seen the very last minute 88 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 7: before with Tyron Smith and it's gone the bad way. 89 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 7: So uh, I hate to be the wet blanket guy here, 90 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 7: but man, that that's that's gonna be a tough one 91 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 7: to deal with. 92 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, whether right or wrong, I think that the natural 93 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 6: inclination for all fans or bystanders who've wont to the 94 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 6: Cowboys for the last several years. 95 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 2: The history tells us. 96 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 6: That when you get into this kind of situation with Tyrant, 97 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 6: the likelihood is that you probably out more on you 98 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 6: fall more on the side that he's probably not gonna play. 99 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 6: But you just don't know, and we'll wait and see 100 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 6: until Sunday. But that being said, across the table, you guys, 101 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 6: tell me, what's your level? How much does this change 102 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 6: your thoughts on where you were on the Cowboys possibilities 103 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 6: of going to Miami and getting a win. 104 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 2: I'll start you a lot. 105 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 8: I mean, I'm hoping for a win, but it's just 106 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 8: it really complicates things because you come out of the 107 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 8: loss against Buffalo where the offense wasn't able to really 108 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 8: perform at a level that you expected them to or 109 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 8: wanted them to, and you talk about the O line 110 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 8: and the running game, how we started seeing an incline 111 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 8: in that they started getting better. Now, any type of 112 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 8: injury happening there, that's gonna take a hit and it's 113 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 8: going to affect their running game. Now that's kind of 114 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 8: taken out of the equation for me, because I don't 115 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 8: see it working very well if both of them are 116 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 8: out or even one of them. The key for me 117 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 8: in this game would be for Dak to go back 118 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 8: to that quick, quick, quick get maybe take a few 119 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 8: steps back, get rid of the of the ball very 120 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 8: very quickly, and connect with the receivers everyone's going to 121 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 8: have to be on at the same pace and connect 122 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 8: it and know exactly what the route is, what the 123 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 8: call is, what the plan is, and hope that they're 124 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 8: in sync, because that's the only way that I see 125 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 8: it right now knowing about these injuries. Even if they 126 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 8: were to step on the field and play, that doesn't 127 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 8: mean they're one hundred percent healthy. They're still banged up 128 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 8: and they're still affected with these injuries. So regardless, I 129 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 8: think for me, yeah, it changes what I think of 130 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 8: the outcome maybe, but I have hope holding on to 131 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 8: that stat of them playing really, really good after a 132 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 8: loss and also hoping that the offense starts clicking again 133 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 8: where Dak can just get rid of the ball very quickly. 134 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 3: Had an advantage. You had an advantage if you're healthy. 135 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 7: You have an advantage because they're really banged up on 136 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 7: their offensive line, and you were hopeful that maybe that 137 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 7: your defense would be able to take advantage of that. 138 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 7: They're still dealing with Robert Hunt and Austin Jackson being hurt. 139 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 7: So now it kind of if you lose two guys, 140 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 7: they lose two guys. Now it's going to be a 141 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 7: battle of which backup group can find ways to block, 142 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 7: you know, really good defensive lines, especially with you know, 143 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 7: with dealing with Bradley Chubb and and Wilkins and that crew. 144 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 3: I mean, they could present some. 145 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 7: Problems, but you got better backups right now, I would 146 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 7: say the Cowboys do that. That would be where I 147 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 7: would go right now when you talk to talk about 148 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 7: bass and a dooga, I think it's better than what 149 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 7: I'm seeing with you know, with with what the Dolphins 150 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 7: have thrown out there. But the Dolphins do a really 151 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 7: good job of scheming around the deficiencies they have in 152 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 7: their offensive line. 153 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 3: They don't ask. 154 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 7: Those guys to do a whole hell of a lot, 155 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 7: you know, from what I was seeing, it's a lot 156 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 7: of angle blocks, a lot of half man blocks. Uh, 157 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 7: never have to take anybody on toe to toe. 158 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 3: You know. 159 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 7: Their scheme is built that way. The way they run 160 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 7: the ball, they are a perimeter running team, and so 161 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 7: everything is about movement and pulling and trapping and so 162 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 7: it's it's not asking them to just go out there 163 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 7: and just blow guys off the line of scrimmage. 164 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 3: They just don't play that way. 165 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 7: I think Dallas has the better group, but I'm interested 166 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 7: to see which offensive staff schemes better in this game 167 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 7: to get there to manufacture offense when they're compromised on 168 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 7: their offensive lines. 169 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 5: Cowboys are going to have to learn from what the 170 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 5: Arizona Cardinals tell them. Yeah, you go back and look 171 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 5: at the Arizona Cardinals film, and you know that's what 172 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 5: you draw from. As far as what you need to 173 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 5: do against the Miami Dolphins, as far as supplanting or 174 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 5: trying to supplant Tyron Smith and Zach Martin, It's not 175 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 5: going to be an easy task at all, especially against 176 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 5: this defensive front. But I'd love Ambar's point. You got 177 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 5: to get the ball out quickly. Don't put your offensive 178 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 5: line in position and includes Chunmaydoga and likely TJ. Bass. 179 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 5: Don't put those guys in position where they have to 180 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 5: do a ton of pass pro against some of the 181 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 5: better pass rushers in the league. Get it out quickly. 182 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 5: The Dolphins love to run zone. They run zone assuming 183 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 5: they do it because I'm always traumatized by what the 184 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 5: forty nine ers did with flipping that switch. But assuming 185 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 5: that the Dolphins remain true to what they've been doing, 186 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 5: which is running zone three out of every four defensive snaps, 187 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 5: you're going to have the spacing there to get that 188 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 5: ball out. So get the ball out, get it into 189 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 5: the hands of your playmakers. Move CD Lamb around, Move 190 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 5: Brandon Cooks around, get Cavante Turpin involved, use Jake Ferguson 191 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 5: to attack that second level and attack the seams with 192 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 5: the linebackers applying pressure to the safety. They run a 193 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 5: lot of single high as well, and that should help 194 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 5: the passing game open up a little bit more with 195 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 5: which then should make things easier for Tony Pollard recalled 196 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 5: out on the run game because quite as it's kept. 197 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 5: While the home and away splits are massive when it 198 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 5: comes to like penalties, types of penalties, passing yards, things 199 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 5: like that, the running game, the rushing attack has been 200 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 5: pretty steady. I think four point one yard average per 201 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 5: handoff on the road, four point two at home. So 202 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 5: if you can get out to a fast start, and 203 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 5: that's going to come down to getting that ball out quickly, 204 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 5: get out and score play from play ahead. That running 205 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 5: game should be your steady hand going forward. You're probably 206 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 5: not gonna get a lot of shots downfield without tiring 207 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 5: exact there. 208 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 6: Well, I'll say the thing that concerns me most about 209 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 6: that strategy is last week they faced another team that's 210 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 6: similar to this one in the way that they get 211 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,199 Speaker 6: a four man pressure. They can have seven out in 212 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 6: coverage and when they're playing zone with seven. By the way, 213 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 6: they're pretty good playing zone with seven, it flogs everything's. 214 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 3: Up and the traveler too. 215 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, yeah, they got to travel to time. 216 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 6: It just makes it really I think it makes it 217 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 6: really tough, whether you're talking about a quick passing game 218 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 6: or a passing game where you can try to that 219 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 6: the passes to let the routes develop. Either way, I 220 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 6: think it's going to be really tough for Dak built 221 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 6: to find those openings, especially if they're being able to 222 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 6: get pressure with four knowing that the Cowboys are compromise 223 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 6: on the offensive live. So I think that's really the 224 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 6: challenge for me. The key really gonna come down to, 225 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 6: can the Cowboys find a way to run the ball 226 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 6: that's gonna slow down those four pass rushers and give 227 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 6: you that time that you need in order to really 228 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 6: find those big plays, because this offense is predicated on 229 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 6: the big plays. When they play well, when they're playing 230 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 6: at their best, they got big plays involved. They're gonna 231 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 6: need those, I think, and the running game is the 232 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 6: only thing I think that's going to get them there. 233 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 5: And the only way you're gonna be able to do 234 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 5: that is if your defense bottles up guys like Tyreek Hill, 235 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 5: jay Lenwato kind of gets hands on tour rattles him 236 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 5: as much as possible. Because if you allow the Dolphins 237 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 5: to do what the Bills did, which is get up 238 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 5: on you, and largely because of self inflicted wounds, but 239 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 5: however it happens. If you allow the Dolphins to get 240 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 5: up on you early playing from behind Againstille, game's gone, right, 241 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 5: running game's going and you're down to starting offensive lineman, 242 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 5: you're in trouble. 243 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's gonna be the thing that scares me about 244 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 7: this game a little bit, as who the official. 245 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 3: Is with Sean Hockey, you know, and and we all 246 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 3: are very. 247 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 2: Familiar with seen this before. 248 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 7: We've seen Sean Hockey insert himself and his crew. 249 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 3: Into into games. 250 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 7: And that's the that's the thing that that's always terrifying 251 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 7: to me. I mean just looking through his the metrics 252 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 7: with him, he's had he's had multiple games where it's 253 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 7: eighteen penalties, fifteen penalties, fourteen penalties. You know, you just 254 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 7: never know what you're gonna get. You're gonna get calls, 255 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 7: but you don't and it and it's at the worst 256 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 7: time with this, I just you know, I've always one 257 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 7: of these guys, just let him play, let the two 258 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 7: teams figure it out. But you've got a guy that 259 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 7: likes to put himself. 260 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 3: In the middle of the game. 261 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 7: And you know, I'm not trying to make excuses for 262 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 7: either team here, but it is what it is. You know, 263 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 7: sometimes you're at the mercy of these guys and uh, 264 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 7: you know that's the that's the unfortunate part of the 265 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 7: thing that you know, you didn't draw a crew this 266 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 7: week that's probably gonna let you play. You're gonna get 267 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 7: one that's gonna called the game probably pretty tight. And 268 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 7: and you know who will have an advantage of that. 269 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 7: Cowboy is one of the most penalized teams in the league. 270 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 7: I think the Dolphins are up there too, So. 271 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 6: I would love to see if this is the week 272 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 6: would maybe maybe Michael Parsons gets a call like that's 273 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 6: ridiculous that he hasn't gotten any of these holding calls. 274 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,719 Speaker 2: Maybe this is a week where he gets some of those. 275 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, well it's it's it's you know, like I said, 276 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 7: you just don't know what these crews and had a 277 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 7: holding call against him since since the Chargers game. You know, 278 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 7: that's how far back that thing goes. But and and 279 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 7: and they've got a compromised offensive line like you do 280 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 7: right now, So there's going to be some holding in 281 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 7: this game. 282 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 3: Don't don't. Don't act like it's not gonna happen. 283 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 2: What are we hearing about Malie Cooker? Have we heard 284 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 2: anything more about it? 285 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 5: He's progressing, Obviously, he missed last week because of the illness. 286 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 5: He didn't practice as they gave him and his ankle 287 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 5: some rest on Wednesday. But he did practice in a 288 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 5: limited participate as a limited participant on Thursday. So he's 289 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 5: taking on more work. We'll see what today Friday's injury 290 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 5: report looks like for him, but he's tracking toward taking 291 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 5: the field, and uh, that would be you know, big one, Tomas. 292 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 5: He played solid. He had I think two or three 293 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 5: missed tackles before the most part, given the fire that 294 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 5: he was thrown in. In a situation he was thrown in, 295 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 5: it was much more run support than coverage because Josh 296 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 5: Allen only threw fifteen times. But yeah, mon Lee Cooker 297 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 5: is tracking toward taking the feud. 298 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 6: All right, we're gonna take our first break. We'll come back. 299 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 6: Amber has some questions for us. 300 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 8: All right, I can't smile. 301 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 2: No, I'm just wondering, like, Okay, we're gonna come back. 302 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 2: AMA's got some questions for us and uh, and we'll 303 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 2: get to those. We'll hopefully have a good time here. 304 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 2: In the second segment, Move Back Dallas Cowboys dot Com. 305 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 9: Radio, Todd thought it would be secure to jog in 306 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 9: the cheetah Savannah.

Okay, 362 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 8: so thank you to everyone who sent in their questions today. 363 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 8: All right, guys, what's more important for success in this 364 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 8: weekend's game? Offensive line dominates from the start? Or defensive 365 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 8: line dominates from the start? From the cowboy side, do 366 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 8: you prefer the offense to start off better the line 367 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 8: or the defensive line to start off? 368 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 3: Said offensive line twice? 369 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 6: No, both offense line or defensive line. I think defensive 370 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 6: line because the way I look at this game, it 371 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 6: goes back to what you said, Patrick. They cannot afford 372 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 6: to get down in this game, even if the offense 373 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 6: is slow getting started. As long as they don't let 374 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 6: Miami run away, then you could play a close game 375 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 6: and you can just kind of figure it out as 376 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 6: you go. 377 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 2: You cannot get behind. 378 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 6: If you get behind, we've seen how that goes, that's 379 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 6: not gonna be good. 380 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 5: Yeah. For me, it's defensive line. Defensive line has to 381 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 5: set the tone. Defense has to set the tone, especially 382 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 5: after a game like what happened to Buffalo, when you 383 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 5: basically just got mauled. So they need to get their 384 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 5: confidence back. They need to get their resist show you 385 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 5: the resilience, and they need to be what everybody believes 386 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 5: they can be. And you already know the Cowboys offensive 387 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 5: line might struggle a bit because they might be down 388 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 5: two starters. This defensive line is going to have to 389 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 5: get it done. 390 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 3: Scoring helps this defense. Give me the offense. 391 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 7: I'm putting pressure on, as much pressure as I can 392 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 7: on Miami. I'm gonna make them have to you know. 393 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 7: The one thing that I know is if I can 394 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 7: build a lead, hold a lead, that that dolphin running 395 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 7: game will go away, because it happens every single time 396 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 7: the Cowboys score for thirty points. Teams don't run the 397 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 7: football on them. And that's my biggest concern right now. 398 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 7: Give me the offense, come out blistering them right off 399 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 7: the jump. Give me one of those games where you 400 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 7: got three drives. 401 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 3: Give me. Give me the game that Buffalo had against 402 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 3: you in the first half last week. 403 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 7: That's what I want, you know, twelve plays, seventy five 404 00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:00,360 Speaker 7: yard drives, wear them down, score points, you know, give 405 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 7: them a chance to have any offense. 406 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 3: I'll take that all day. 407 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 5: Real quick. 408 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 2: Before you go to the next question. 409 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 6: If you guys go back to earlier in the season, 410 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 6: there was there were some times when tyroing Zach were out. 411 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 6: What do you recall from that time from the standpoint 412 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 6: of how well the offense and I know some of 413 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 6: it was win before the offense turned into what it's 414 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 6: but just looking at the offensive line, how the offensive 415 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 6: line played with those backups, what are your recollections. 416 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 8: The line wasn't really the problem, Like they played good 417 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 8: enough for them to have won a game or compete. 418 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 8: So I don't going back, I don't remember us sitting 419 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 8: here complaining how the how about of a job they did? 420 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 8: It was like, okay, for the backups, they actually held 421 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 8: up pretty good and they did a good enough job. 422 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 8: So I don't think the I mean, it's possible to survive. 423 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 8: It's basically one of yeah. 424 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 5: I mean, we ended up giving roses to Chimi Doga 425 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 5: for stepping up big. We gave Rosy better than we 426 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 5: thought he was exactly Guys like brock Hoffman, TJ. Best, 427 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 5: and Arizona, those guys stepped up after being thrown in 428 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 5: the fire. I don't think any of those. I don't 429 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 5: think the Arizona loss was on the offensive line. I 430 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 5: do think that it's hard for me to figure out 431 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 5: if the offensive line flux was part of the reason 432 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 5: that the offense didn't take hadn't taken off quite yet 433 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,199 Speaker 5: kind of times up that it took off when the 434 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 5: offensive line kind of came together, right, So that, Yeah, 435 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 5: I don't like where that goes. If that's why you're 436 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 5: making their face, I get it. But yeah, I mean 437 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 5: I think that the offensive line was not will cost 438 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 5: you the game in Arizona, and if you look at 439 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 5: any of those losses of San Francisco as well, I mean, 440 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 5: the offensive line didn't cost you that game either, You're 441 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 5: passing defense cost you that game. George Keittle gets three touchdowns, 442 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 5: I mean that's game over. So yeah, I mean I 443 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 5: think this offensive line can hold up well. But I 444 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 5: mean we'll see because again they got horses up front. Yeah, 445 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 5: that's the big thing. That's the big thing. Just self 446 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 5: inflicted wounds and just don't hockily and the officials there 447 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 5: are going to be some bad cause and bad no calls. 448 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 5: Just don't exacerbate the problem by you know, running into 449 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 5: the past and when you don't have to, you know, 450 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 5: trying to I want you to protect your quarterback, but 451 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 5: unnecessarily bumping that we talked about. Just careful because you're 452 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 5: in hostile territory. You can't afford any mistakes. Just keep 453 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 5: your emotional discipline where it needs to be and help 454 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 5: your team out. 455 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 7: I think the one thing that it's weird because I 456 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 7: felt like that his questions about his offensive. 457 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 3: Line affected his play calling in Arizona. 458 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 7: I felt like the weather affected his play calling, or 459 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 7: the threat of weather affected his play calling in Buffalo. 460 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 3: Yep, he's got to put that aside. 461 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 7: You know, he's played games now with these guys and 462 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 7: he has to say, you know what, last time, I 463 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 7: was too cautious the way I played. I'm not asking 464 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 7: you to go out there and sling it all over 465 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 7: the place and try and get your quarterback hurt. But 466 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 7: don't go into a shell with your offense. You know, 467 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 7: trust that these guys can get the job done. You know, 468 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 7: I think Mike, maybe I don't know, maybe overthink it 469 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 7: a little bit there. 470 00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 6: Didn't He wasn't there a game earlier this year where 471 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 6: he actually admitted after the game he said that he 472 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 6: called the game or Arizona was at Arizona. Yeah, and 473 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 6: so I'm like, yeah, that that's when you talk about Buffalo. 474 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 6: I actually, when I asked you guys the question yesterday 475 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 6: about weather, I actually thought that's where you guys were 476 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 6: going to go, because I personally believe Mike called a 477 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 6: little different game because either the weather or because when 478 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 6: he thought the weather, they would do. 479 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 7: They would they To me, and I'm not out here 480 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 7: watching practice every day, but to me, if you were, 481 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 7: I was wondering, Okay, is this a wet weather game 482 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 7: plan you're throwing at him right now? 483 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 3: You know? And and and. 484 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 7: I think when the weather broke nice for him all 485 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 7: of a sudden, like, well damn. We worked on this 486 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 7: all week and it was not the creativity with the offense, 487 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 7: you know. And and I know it was seven drop 488 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 7: seven and rushed for I get that. But I've seen 489 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 7: him call defenses or call plays against that and and 490 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 7: have some success. I don't overthink this. If there's two 491 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 7: guys out, don't overthink it. Go play football. You know 492 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 7: that's you've got guys. You got one of the best 493 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 7: quarterbacks in the league, got one of the best wide 494 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 7: receivers in the league, got one of the best tight 495 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 7: ends in the league'll go play football today. 496 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 5: You know, I don't. I don't think Mike went into 497 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 5: Buffalo thinking about the weather for the most part. And 498 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 5: the reason I say that is because before the Cowboys 499 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 5: first offensive drive, probably could have made that argument. But 500 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 5: when you see Dak drop back and go deep to 501 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 5: Cooks to try to get a home run ball on 502 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 5: you know, one of the first players, they. 503 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:23,479 Speaker 3: Never went back to right. 504 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 5: That's the right well, they never went back to it 505 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 5: because that's just the game started to get away from 506 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 5: them after that drive. Because on that drive you get 507 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 5: the holding and you get no points, and then guess 508 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 5: what penalty On the next Bills drive, they score again. 509 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 6: So the game's not of reason for them not to 510 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 6: go back to the deep ball, especially if they saw 511 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 6: some success on the front like it was there. They 512 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 6: just didn't connect on it. And then, don't get me wrong, 513 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 6: that's a hard pass to connect on. But I just 514 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 6: felt like they they didn't do the things that we 515 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 6: were accustomed to seeing them do on offense. And it 516 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 6: left me to at least question whether Mike made some adjustments, 517 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 6: because he was like. 518 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 5: Ah, oh, far as adjusting, pulling back, as far as 519 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 5: versus walking into that game. 520 00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 6: We know. What I'm saying is kind of going into 521 00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 6: that game with as Brian was saying, like, I kind 522 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 6: of agree that maybe the game plan may have been 523 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 6: set up for them to thinking because as we saw 524 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 6: we got the Friday, we were the whole game. It 525 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 6: was going to rain the whole game. That's what we 526 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 6: went in thinking. And it makes me think that he 527 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 6: went into the game in the same way, like, Okay, 528 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 6: I need to protect my team knowing that this is 529 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 6: going to be a game where whether we will. 530 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 3: Be a factor. 531 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 6: So here's how we need to call it in order 532 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 6: to make sure we don't put ourselves in bad situations, 533 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 6: rather than just going in and being like, hey, it's 534 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 6: actually not that bad. Let's just go right. And I 535 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 6: do believe it kind of affective, but that's just my. 536 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 5: Opinion, and I see where you're going with that. Where 537 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 5: I depart on that is because I just pulled back 538 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 5: up the opening Cowboys drive against the Cardinals, and the 539 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 5: first two plays were hand off to Tony Pollard, and 540 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 5: that's different from what we saw in Buffalo. First couple 541 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 5: of plays he takes the deep shot to Cooks. So 542 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 5: I think that to Mike's point after the Arizona Cardinals game, 543 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 5: he was playing uber conservative against the Cardinals, but he 544 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 5: started out the game being the exact optor is being 545 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 5: very liberal against the Buffalo Bills. Now, I will agree 546 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 5: that maybe after that, in an adjustment capacity, he probably 547 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 5: went back to being more conservative than they would have 548 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 5: liked to, maybe be where the base. Maybe he saw 549 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 5: that pass and was like, oh, well, the win on 550 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 5: this field is not going the fact that they didn't 551 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 5: Connet write. So that's what I mean. I think going 552 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 5: in he didn't have his scripted plays based upon the weather. 553 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 5: But then after seeing that bass Sell three yards past Cooks, 554 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 5: maybe at that point he was like, okay, maybe I 555 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 5: should scale, but stick that. That's what I mean, that's 556 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 5: the difference. I think he went into Arizona being conservative 557 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 5: on purpose. 558 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 6: I do wonder if because he even admitted after the 559 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 6: Arizona game, because of his compromise offensive line, he was 560 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 6: more conservative. I wanted that'll push him to be less 561 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 6: conservative this game if he loses those offensive linemen and 562 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 6: be like, I gotta trust these guys. I went through 563 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 6: that in Arizona. I didn't give my chance, my team 564 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 6: the best chance to win. Maybe that helps him this week, 565 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 6: just say let's just go. We're gonna play football. 566 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 3: One question down, Where to go? 567 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 8: Derek got two more questions from that. 568 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 5: Damn good courch man. 569 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 6: When you're the host, you just gotta always fall back 570 00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 6: at the being host, right, That a good question. 571 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 8: Yeah, Bryan Woodward, he asks, do you see the Cowboys 572 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 8: staying with mainly men coverage against Miami? Especially if he'll plays. 573 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 7: It wouldn't be it probably wouldn't be the best thing. 574 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 7: But that's who they are. That's who Dallas is. Dallas 575 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 7: Dallas is. They're comfortable. You know, they'll rush for they'll 576 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 7: rush five. They like to bring pressure. They like to 577 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 7: bring pressure on second down. Uh, you have a quarterback 578 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 7: that's really accurate in that near the line of scrimmage 579 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 7: or underneath if you play a lot of manned stuff. 580 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 7: You know they're big, they're fifty three percent of their 581 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 7: offense comes run after catch. That's what you have to 582 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 7: worry about here. You have to worry about everything, the 583 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 7: short passes and then them taking off with it. 584 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 3: And so is it in their DNA to play it 585 00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 3: zone coverage? Sure? Would it throw the Dolphins a curveball? Sure? 586 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 3: I think the Dolphins are expecting to see man coverage 587 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 3: in this game. 588 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 7: I think I think Dan's thinking, like, I trust my 589 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 7: guys to be good enough this game. I'm gonna try 590 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 7: and get pressure on this guy. This quarterback doesn't move, 591 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 7: so you know, but the ball will come out quick. 592 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 7: We saw it a the Jets game last week. He's 593 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 7: not going to hold the football. That's that They're terrified 594 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 7: of what's going on with their offensive line too. 595 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 3: So I think this. 596 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 7: I think, to me, if you're playing zone, that means 597 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 7: you're playing with depth at depth, and I hate that 598 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 7: because all of a sudden and you got these guys there, 599 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 7: they get the ball and then it's run after catch. 600 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 7: I would rather die quick. Don't let me die slow. 601 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 7: Let me play up on the line. Let me try 602 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 7: and disrupt what they're doing, and maybe I can affect 603 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 7: the timing of this quarterback. 604 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 6: Here's what I worry about with man is it's not 605 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 6: even so much the deep routes that I worry about 606 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 6: with Tyreek Kill. It's those crossers where they rub and 607 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 6: he gets up. 608 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 2: Just a foot. 609 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 6: If he's got a foot, you ain't catching When he 610 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 6: catches the ball, you're not catching him. 611 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 3: And that's where I'm like, hope, is his ankle ain't great? 612 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 3: That's what Joe. 613 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 2: But I will say this jump yeah, test that thing 614 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 2: before that. 615 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 6: Before the game last week, there were reports that he 616 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 6: looked like he was running. He was running really well, 617 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 6: but they were like, we're still gonna hold him out. 618 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 6: That's also what makes me think he's gonna be fine 619 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 6: for this week. They thought last week Hero I would 620 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,199 Speaker 6: guess if that would have been a playoff gamey Kill 621 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 6: would have played last week. They were figuring, let's give 622 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 6: him one one week. We need him for a hundred 623 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 6: one hundred percent close to it against Dallas. So I 624 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 6: expect him to be Tyree Kill this week. I don't 625 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,880 Speaker 6: expect him to have any ill anything that's coming from 626 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 6: that ankle. 627 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 2: I think he'll be fine. What challenge what I where. 628 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 6: I think the real challenge is is trying to carry 629 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 6: him across field, especially if you're having to run through traffic, 630 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 6: and I think that's just going to be I mean, 631 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 6: that is a recipe for disaster against a guy like him. 632 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 7: Well, see the thing about when you play zone that 633 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 7: way though, when they run the guys through, do you lose. 634 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 3: Track of where guys are? 635 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 2: And that can happen. 636 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 7: That's that's the thing with That's the thing I worry 637 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 7: about with Dallas because they don't play they don't play. 638 00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 3: They play zone. 639 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 7: But there I feel like they're better playing man. I 640 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 7: feel like they're better if they they play man and 641 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 7: if Hooker can help them, if Hooker. 642 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 3: Lines up deep and he can read it, you. 643 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 7: Know, and we've seen we've seen teams play that cover 644 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 7: two look and then play with a robber, you know, 645 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 7: take the safety and drive it down, you know, drive 646 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 7: that safety, put the safety in the middle of the field. 647 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 3: That's how that's how the Cleveland. 648 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 7: Browns beat the forty nine ers with all the crossing 649 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 7: stuff that the forty nine ers do. They played man, 650 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,439 Speaker 7: but they put a robber in the middle of the field, 651 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 7: so they it made that that that crosser have to 652 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 7: run a little bit. And all you're trying to do 653 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 7: is little longer hold. All you're trying to do is 654 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 7: make these guys hold the ball a little bit longer. Yeah, 655 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 7: because this quarterback when he holds the ball, though, like 656 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 7: I say, he's not gonna move. He's not gonna run 657 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 7: away from you. The quarterbacks you played the last two 658 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 7: weeks will run away if they see problems and he. 659 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 2: Will get down, like he's not gonna says he's gonna 660 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 2: get down. 661 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 3: He's gonna get down, So. 662 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 2: You get close to him, you can get him down. 663 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 5: Yeah. 664 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 3: So no, I see Dallas being who they are. I 665 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 3: just do. 666 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 5: I just feel like, if you're going to play man, 667 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 5: you better you better be damn good at at press 668 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 5: at disrupting at the line of scrimmage, disrupting those timing routes, 669 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 5: because we talked about it, too. Is trying to get 670 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 5: that ball out quickly, so his his passes are going 671 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 5: to be based on timing, and you have to make 672 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 5: sure that his man is not at the spot where 673 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 5: he's throwing, because he's not thrown to the man. He's 674 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 5: thrown to the spot he expects the guy to be. 675 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 5: So I like a matchup like Deron Bland. He's physical 676 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 5: and Tyreek Hill while he's you know, quick, speeding, He's 677 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 5: all of those things. Not necessarily the most physical guy. 678 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 5: You can disrupt him. Jaylen Waddow a little bit bigger 679 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 5: than Tyreek, but you can disrupt him. Jordan Lewis versus 680 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 5: Cedric Wilson, that'll be an interesting one because Wilson obviously 681 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 5: former cowboy. He's bigger than both of those guys on 682 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 5: the outside, but he doesn't necessarily have the speed. So 683 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 5: I think Jordan Lewis can handle Cedric Wilson. So if 684 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 5: you're going to press, if you're going to be do 685 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 5: man coverage, don't don't play man and space them like, 686 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 5: don't give them the space and man coverage that's just 687 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 5: a death sent which. 688 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 6: We see them do quite a bit. They're gonna have 689 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 6: to give that five to seven yard cushion. 690 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 7: You're gonna have to play run on the edge too, 691 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 7: And so you're probably in a situation if you're playing zone, 692 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 7: you're you know you're not. You're gonna have to commit 693 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 7: guys the box, you know, especially on the age, and 694 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 7: if you're playing if you commit guys to box, that 695 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 7: meets you're. 696 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 3: One on one on the outside. You can't play zone 697 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 3: that way. They're gonna have to play man. 698 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 5: Your linebackers are going to have to do damn well 699 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 5: in coverage this week, especially if you choose to go 700 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 5: to man, because if you choose to go to man 701 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 5: and you go press, then of course you guys are 702 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 5: at the line of scrimmage to try to disrupt. Once 703 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 5: those guys get off of those routes. Guess what, Now 704 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 5: it's on your linebackers. Now, your safety Molik, he's asked forward, 705 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 5: and that's good. You want him to play forward as 706 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 5: opposed to having to react backward to a play going deep. 707 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 5: But your linebackers, if you do man coverage, I would 708 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 5: suggest pressing. And if you then do press, your linebackers 709 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 5: better be damn good in coverage. 710 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 8: Well, speaking of linebacker, before we go to break, here 711 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 8: are these two questions. And sorry if I mess up 712 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 8: y'all's name, but I'm going to combine the two. First, 713 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 8: John Teba's he's asking about my leak Jefferson and saying 714 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,239 Speaker 8: how he has a good size, and he says that 715 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 8: he understands he might not be that good, but if so, 716 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 8: why have him on the practice squad? And then kermeen 717 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 8: Polo he's asking, do you guys think they're as a 718 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 8: linebacker on someone else's practice squad that they can use 719 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 8: for run defense? Basically, what can you possibly do right 720 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 8: now to address the linebackeration? 721 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 3: Is Jefferson out of elevations? 722 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 5: I can check for you right now. 723 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 3: I think I thought he was out of lay. 724 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, So they're in a situation right now that they 725 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 7: would if to get him on. 726 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 3: They would have to move somebody. 727 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 7: They'd have to take somebody off the roster to get 728 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 7: him on, and I don't think they're going to do that. 729 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 2: In my opinion. 730 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 6: The best way that they solve the linebacker issue for 731 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 6: the rest of this year's year at least, is they 732 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 6: got to get Hankens back, because I think if you 733 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 6: get Hankins back, that gives you a big body, as 734 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 6: you talked about last week, Brian, a big body that's 735 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 6: that can move laterally as well. I think that keeps 736 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 6: your linebackers cleaner than what we saw this last game, 737 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 6: because otherwise, I just don't know. I don't trust that 738 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 6: there's a guy on another team's practice squad that's going 739 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 6: to be any better than what you got, Like, I 740 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 6: just don't. I don't think if you got that guy, 741 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 6: even if you're bigger, if you don't have the skill 742 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 6: to still be able to move around offensive line and 743 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 6: they get to the second level, you're still gonna have 744 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 6: the same problem. 745 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 3: Right. 746 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 8: So I just think that we keep talking about having 747 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 8: that instinct of reaction, how. 748 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 3: Quick can you guess? 749 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 6: But how many guys on a practice squad have that 750 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 6: level of it? Like, right, you know, you're still talking 751 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 6: about guys that don't have the same level of skill 752 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 6: as a as a starting linebacker in the NFL. So 753 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 6: I personally believe you got to get Handkins back and 754 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 6: so you basically just steady the ship until you can 755 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 6: get him back, because otherwise I just don't know that 756 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 6: there's a better option from a personnel standpoint out there. 757 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, Malie Jefferson's played three games. 758 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's out in San Francisco. 759 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 7: In unless you put him on the active you have 760 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 7: you have to, You would have to elevate him. And 761 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 7: the one that would be interesting though is Evans, you know, 762 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,719 Speaker 7: and uh Rashad Evans that would be you know, and 763 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 7: we'll see how I watched the Green Bay game last 764 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 7: year where Michael was playing off ball linebacker the majority 765 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 7: of that game, and what they did was they took 766 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 7: Fouler and they took Armstrong on the right side, and 767 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 7: then they put Tank on the left and then Micah 768 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 7: played his off ball linebacker. 769 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 3: Early in the game, he was really. 770 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 7: It was it was good the way he played, and 771 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 7: then it turned into he's just playing so many snaps 772 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 7: he's having to rush and then he's having to play 773 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 7: off ball linebacker, and so it's you know, it's a 774 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 7: it's a it's a hard it's a hard game for 775 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 7: him that way. 776 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 6: So wait, are you saying that it wasn't necessarily about skill? 777 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 6: It was more about fatigue as the game. 778 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 3: I think I think the game. 779 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 7: I think he got tired as the game wore on 780 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 7: and they and what happens is that then the Packers 781 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 7: were able to get guys up on him. And when 782 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 7: Micah has problems is that. 783 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 3: He will he'll. 784 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 7: Jump around blocks and stuff like that. And you know 785 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 7: he's athletic enough to make plays that way, but you know, 786 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 7: the anticipation you got to play with it, linebacker. That's 787 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 7: why you've had such great ones here with the Cowboys, 788 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 7: that that wins. The Dexter coke Lees, the you know, 789 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 7: the Shawn Lee's, the Layton vander Eshes, those guys they 790 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 7: played with such instinct. They knew when they read a 791 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 7: formation that they were going to play. Okay, they're gonna 792 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 7: they're gonna do this. Well, they're running, they're half step ahead, 793 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 7: at full step ahead, you know, and right now you've 794 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 7: got guys that are safeties, that are trying to play 795 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 7: with instinct and try and read blocks that are you know, 796 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:08,760 Speaker 7: and it's been difficult. 797 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 3: There's no question about that. 798 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 6: All Right, let's go and take our final break. We'll 799 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 6: come back.

I got a couple 856 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 6: questions for you guys about the Dallas and Miami matchup. 857 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 2: Let's start first. 858 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 6: With the offensive side of the Ethan side. The ball 859 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 6: for the Cowboys outside of Tyreek Hill, which Miami offensive 860 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,840 Speaker 6: player should Dallas be most concerned about. 861 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:15,400 Speaker 5: I'm stuck here between Jalen Wattle and A Chain. So 862 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 5: much focus is rightfully placed on Tyreek Hill that if 863 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 5: you place too much focus on him and you forget 864 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 5: what Wattle is capable of, he'll break the game wide open. 865 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 5: So I'm gonna go with Wattle on this one. I 866 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 5: think that it's easy, kind of low hanging fruit, and 867 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 5: it's justifiable low hanging fruit to look at the running 868 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 5: backs and most of the A Chain and say, oh, well, 869 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,319 Speaker 5: look at what Cook did, And I get that, but 870 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 5: circumstances permitted that. Hopefully the circumstances don't permit and the 871 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 5: run defense can kind of do what it does. But Wattle. 872 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 5: Don't forget Wattle is absolutely I mean cause he's a 873 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 5: number one receiver on several teams that don't have Tyreek 874 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,759 Speaker 5: Hill uh on the roster. So for me, it's gonna 875 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 5: be Wattle. Tyreek Hill obviously put a bottle on him 876 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 5: as much as you can anyway, but don't look away 877 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 5: from Jalen Wattle, because the moment you do, it's a 878 00:37:58,880 --> 00:37:59,399 Speaker 5: big play. 879 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 7: Moster has got like twenty touchdowns. You know, he catches 880 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 7: the ball, he runs the ball, he's he's physical. I mean, 881 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,360 Speaker 7: he's an all round player. He can run, Yeah, and 882 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 7: never comes off the field. Yeah, Waddle's great player. But 883 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 7: Moster is gonna make Moster makes this thing go. 884 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 3: They hand him the ball, toss him the ball, throw 885 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:20,240 Speaker 3: him the ball. 886 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 7: Yeah, you've got to find a way to knock him 887 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 7: around a little bit and not let him get going 888 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 7: this game, especially he gets down in the down that 889 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:28,359 Speaker 7: tight red zone. 890 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 3: You know, he just has a nose for the end 891 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 3: zone and stuff like that. 892 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 7: He's been outstanding this year, So I would worry about 893 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 7: him quite a bit going in this especially after what 894 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 7: I saw last week against Buffalo. 895 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 8: Yeah, that's exactly who I was going to say as well, 896 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 8: because he does two things that the Cowboys have shown 897 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 8: not to be great at and struggle with last week. 898 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 8: One stopping the run. What is he a running back 899 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 8: and runs? And two he can break tackles. Ye, what 900 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 8: are the Cowboys defense of what are they struggling with 901 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 8: right now? Tackling? They're having tackling issues. And like you said, 902 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 8: he's a physical player and he can break those tackles 903 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 8: and those are just two things. Running and tackles, all. 904 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:06,760 Speaker 2: Right, Flip it to the other side. 905 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:12,200 Speaker 6: Which Miami defender should Dallas be most concerned about Ramsey. 906 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,319 Speaker 7: Ramsey can eliminate your best player, your best receiver. He's 907 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 7: got that kind of a bill. He's playing at a 908 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 7: high level right now since he came back from injury. 909 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 7: It's a fifty to fifty proposition throwing the ball at 910 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 7: his direction. You know, he's one of the he's still 911 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 7: one of the best in the league when it comes 912 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 7: to challenging. He loves that. He loves the ability to 913 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 7: go out and take your best receiver away. He'll play left, 914 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 7: he'll play right, he'll play in the slot. That just 915 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,799 Speaker 7: shows you that he doesn't care wherever you're gonna go. 916 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 7: He's gonna go. 917 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 3: I worry about. 918 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,959 Speaker 7: Him just completely eliminating Seedee Lamb from this game. 919 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 5: Bradley Chubb, the guy has almost ten sacks already. And 920 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,879 Speaker 5: we talked at the top of the show about the 921 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 5: likelihood that you won't have Tyrone Smith on the field, 922 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 5: So you better believe that Mike madonwel was going to 923 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 5: take try to take advantage of that matchup as often 924 00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 5: as he can. Cho is really going to have to 925 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 5: hold up and that's a tall task against a guy 926 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 5: like Bradley Chubb. So he's a game wrecker and if 927 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 5: you let him in that backfield to put hands on 928 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 5: a pressure Dak Prescott, then you're going to see a 929 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 5: lot of broken offensive plays. So for me, it's Bradley Chubb. 930 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 8: Well, after we got done talking about the O line 931 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 8: issues and health, a guy like Christian Wilkins. He's a 932 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 8: guy that you know he plays like guard but also 933 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 8: can move and rush. So that's anybody on the defensive 934 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,319 Speaker 8: line at this point is a good guest for me 935 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 8: to be a struggle for this game against this Cowboys 936 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:32,880 Speaker 8: offensive line. 937 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 6: All right, so let's talk about the NFC and what's 938 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 6: happening this weekend. There are a whole litany of games 939 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 6: that matter for the Cowboys because really, when you look 940 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,680 Speaker 6: at the NFC East and who's going to win the division, 941 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 6: a lot of it comes down to this final or. 942 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:46,399 Speaker 2: Not the final type break. 943 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,359 Speaker 6: I think it's the fifth tie break, Yes, fifth, which 944 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 6: is a strength of victory. And so yeah, so I'm 945 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 6: gonna lay out for you right now, there are five 946 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 6: teams that the Cowboys really need to win and there 947 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,880 Speaker 6: are five teams the Cowboys need to lose as they 948 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,360 Speaker 6: keep going through the season to help their strength to victory. 949 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,840 Speaker 6: And that's assuming both teams went out. I'm talking to 950 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 6: Cowboys and Eagles. So you got Buffalo, who the Cowboys 951 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,040 Speaker 6: need to lose. They're playing at the Chargers. You need 952 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:15,439 Speaker 6: the Chargers to win. Convention says, that's probably not gonna happen, 953 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,720 Speaker 6: but that's where you're rooting. You're rooting for the Chargers. 954 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 6: You got green Bay playing at Carolina. Dallas needs Carolina 955 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 6: to continue to win or to win. They have not 956 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 6: continued to win because they haven't been winning much. But 957 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,399 Speaker 6: that's the team that you want to win. 958 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 5: There. 959 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,840 Speaker 6: Here's one that the Cowboys really need to win but 960 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 6: they actually have a chance of winning is Detroit. Detroit 961 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 6: goes to Minnesota. Dallas needs Detroit to continue to win. 962 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,879 Speaker 6: Washington at the New York Jets. The Jets are actually 963 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 6: the team that the Cowboys need to continue to win. 964 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 6: So you're rooting. It works out with your rooting interests. 965 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,279 Speaker 6: You hate the Washington Commanders, it's easy to root for 966 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,840 Speaker 6: the Jets. Root for the Jets to keep winning. Seattle 967 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,799 Speaker 6: another team the Cowboys want to continue to win. They'll 968 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 6: be at Tennessee. That's another game where you would think 969 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 6: they have a pretty good shot to win. And then 970 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 6: you've got Jacksonville at Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay you want 971 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 6: to lose. Arizona, you want to lose at Chicago. And 972 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 6: then the final one Las Vegas. You want them to 973 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 6: beat the. 974 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 2: Chiefs in Kansas City. 975 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,880 Speaker 6: I don't know that's gonna work out, but that's how 976 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 6: your rooting interested go for the weekend. I want us 977 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,799 Speaker 6: to pick the final three games that I think are 978 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,520 Speaker 6: by the way most important to the Cowboys. Let's start 979 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:22,839 Speaker 6: first with Baltimore at San Francisco. An interesting matchup what 980 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,840 Speaker 6: many people believe maybe the best two teams in the NFL. 981 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 2: How do you guys pick it? 982 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 5: You know what, Give me Baltimore this one. It'll be 983 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,160 Speaker 5: a fight, to say the least. We know what San 984 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 5: Francisco is doing, we know how dominant they've been both 985 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,439 Speaker 5: on the road and at home. But we've also seen 986 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 5: Baltimore in these types of games step up and play 987 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 5: some big boy football, and they are as hell bent 988 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 5: on being the bully as any other team in the league. 989 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 5: So I think Harball has them ready to go in 990 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 5: to San Francisco and take that one. 991 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 8: Where do they play at San Francis. I've been there, 992 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 8: done that, I know not crop I know not. Yeah, 993 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 8: I think I can see the forty nine ers very 994 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 8: well coming off with the win, for sure. But it's 995 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 8: gonna be a really really good game to watch, actually, 996 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 8: very very competitive. So that's one of the ones I 997 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,879 Speaker 8: will definitely be watching. But I think forty nine Ers, 998 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 8: because they were playing at home, they end up with 999 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 8: a win. 1000 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:24,680 Speaker 6: Right. 1001 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 7: Yeah, the Ravens feel like they're getting any respect at 1002 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 7: all for being as one of the best teams in 1003 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:31,719 Speaker 7: the league. It's gonna be tough. They don't give up 1004 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,719 Speaker 7: any points Baltimore, and they've got a quarterback that can 1005 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,359 Speaker 7: kind of cause some problems for you with you know, 1006 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:38,480 Speaker 7: with the Ravens and stuff. 1007 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 3: Give me Baltimore in that one. I think Baltimore is 1008 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:40,719 Speaker 3: one of the. 1009 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 7: Best teams in the National Football And by the way, 1010 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,880 Speaker 7: the Rams went there a couple of weeks ago and 1011 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:46,919 Speaker 7: almost won a game there, And so maybe the Rams 1012 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,080 Speaker 7: are the second best team in the National Football right now. 1013 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 2: I'll tell you this. 1014 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 6: I just need somebody show me that San Francisco is 1015 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:52,359 Speaker 6: beatable when they. 1016 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:52,960 Speaker 3: Have all their parts. 1017 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 6: So Baltimore, I'm hoping that Baltimore can can show us 1018 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:59,000 Speaker 6: that New York versus Philadelphia. They're in Philadelphia for this game. 1019 00:43:59,040 --> 00:43:59,839 Speaker 2: Who wins. 1020 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 3: If Cutlers. 1021 00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,040 Speaker 7: If the Giants had beaten the Saints last week, I 1022 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,040 Speaker 7: would have felt better about their chances Right now. 1023 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,399 Speaker 3: I feel like this Philadelphia gets back on the winning track. 1024 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,839 Speaker 5: It's hard to it's hard to think that Philadelphia, even 1025 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,319 Speaker 5: though they're on a slide. It's hard to think they 1026 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 5: lose four in a row. But then when you look 1027 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,920 Speaker 5: at everything that's going on with them, and the commitment 1028 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 5: being questioned by Jalen Hurts and Sirianni admitting that he 1029 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,239 Speaker 5: was playing for help from the refs, I mean that 1030 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,279 Speaker 5: just tells you how dire straits there. Their secondary is 1031 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 5: without Darius Slay and I think Tommy Cutlets and day 1032 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,719 Speaker 5: Ball going to target Brad Berry and that that secondary, 1033 00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,960 Speaker 5: and I think New York goes in and upsets them. 1034 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 5: I think I think they do. It might be by 1035 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:42,919 Speaker 5: it might be by one point, but I think they're 1036 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,839 Speaker 5: going to upset them. I mean that secondary is toast 1037 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 5: just pass, pass and keep passing. 1038 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:53,160 Speaker 8: I hope you're right, because I hope. But I mean, 1039 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:57,160 Speaker 8: even though I do think the the Eagles are starting 1040 00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:01,040 Speaker 8: to crumble and fall apart, I think it's just hard 1041 00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,839 Speaker 8: to see them not beating the Giants right now. I mean, 1042 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,879 Speaker 8: but I hope the Giants win, but I will pick 1043 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 8: the Eagles for this one. 1044 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:09,239 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1045 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:10,760 Speaker 6: I think it's a bounce back game for the Eagles. 1046 00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,200 Speaker 6: I think they get back on track. It might not 1047 00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,319 Speaker 6: be pretty, but I think they get the win. Final game, 1048 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,280 Speaker 6: Cowboys at Miami. Give me your pick and your score. 1049 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,759 Speaker 5: We talked about this when I said the Cowboys messed 1050 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 5: up my two week prediction. Yeah, because I predicted that 1051 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,600 Speaker 5: they take Buffalo. But then I predicted that because they 1052 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,120 Speaker 5: took Buffalo, they lose in Miami. But they lost in Buffalo, 1053 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,239 Speaker 5: And then it sticks me right where you are am 1054 00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,239 Speaker 5: barred that they don't lose to in a row. I 1055 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,200 Speaker 5: just keep coming back to that. There are so many 1056 00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,640 Speaker 5: reasons that my gut says the Dolphins will do this. 1057 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 5: The Dolphins will do this, and the Dolphins will probably 1058 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 5: score points and this will be a hell of a game. 1059 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,319 Speaker 5: But the resiliencyeing this team in the McCarthy era, I 1060 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:54,399 Speaker 5: just I can't get over that. So until they lose 1061 00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,160 Speaker 5: to in a row, they haven't lost to in a row. 1062 00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,160 Speaker 5: I don't think they do it this weekend. So Dolphin, 1063 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,000 Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Cowboys over Dolphins. But it comes down to, 1064 00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,920 Speaker 5: you know, fifty five yard kicked by Butter Aubrey to 1065 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:05,479 Speaker 5: get it done. 1066 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,760 Speaker 3: So Dolphins twenty eight, Cowboys twenty. 1067 00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,319 Speaker 5: Four, didn't give you a school twenty seven to twenty four. 1068 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,439 Speaker 3: Cowboys Dolphins twenty eight, Colways twenty four. 1069 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:20,560 Speaker 8: All right, my heart says one thing, my brain says another. 1070 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,120 Speaker 5: So I went with this if I. 1071 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,000 Speaker 8: Don't want to pick this game, because if I picked 1072 00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,279 Speaker 8: them to win and they lose, I'm going to be 1073 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 8: so mad because they like doing that to me. But uh, 1074 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:36,560 Speaker 8: I don't, I don't. I don't know, literally literally. The 1075 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:41,960 Speaker 8: only thing that's that it's PINNI me tours them winning 1076 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:45,480 Speaker 8: is the stat is that stat? But how much can 1077 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 8: of stat really really stay true? There's no guaranteed, right, 1078 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:54,960 Speaker 8: but it's true until it's not. That will make the future. 1079 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,879 Speaker 7: But whatever what am I words you sad to say 1080 00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:59,880 Speaker 7: about compromised offensive life. 1081 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,359 Speaker 5: It says they were in for a long day. 1082 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, all right, let's let's go with the Cowboys. All right, 1083 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:09,040 Speaker 8: that's close one. Hopefully, I don't know this. Let's give 1084 00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:14,879 Speaker 8: a score of twenty no, yeah, twenty eight, twenty six. Uh, 1085 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,760 Speaker 8: it comes down to a kick. 1086 00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:18,479 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1087 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,600 Speaker 6: I was really prepared if they won last week, to 1088 00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,040 Speaker 6: say that this would be a week that they were 1089 00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,800 Speaker 6: gonna lose exactly. I didn't when we when we started 1090 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 6: this five game stretch, we talked about it. I was like, 1091 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,040 Speaker 6: there's no way they're going to go undefeated in that 1092 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,360 Speaker 6: five game stretch. I do think they're good enough to 1093 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,719 Speaker 6: go four and one, and so the fact that they 1094 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,600 Speaker 6: lost last week is what gives me the belief that 1095 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,600 Speaker 6: they'll go in this week and they'll win. I do 1096 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 6: think though it's going to be a high scoring game. 1097 00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,239 Speaker 6: I think this is gonna be a game where it's 1098 00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 6: gonna be a lot of track track. 1099 00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:45,880 Speaker 2: I absolutely do. 1100 00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,080 Speaker 6: And I think that what we saw from those off 1101 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,359 Speaker 6: I intimated earlier in the show, what we saw from 1102 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,560 Speaker 6: those offensive linemen earlier this year, is that they can 1103 00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 6: play like and I think that Michae will go into 1104 00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,360 Speaker 6: this game and say I'm not gonna take put the 1105 00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 6: handcuffs on my team. I'm going in and saying we're 1106 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:01,600 Speaker 6: going to pla football and we're gonna do what we 1107 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 6: do best. And I think they're gonna go at Miami, 1108 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,560 Speaker 6: and by the way, Miami's gonna go with them, and 1109 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,320 Speaker 6: I think it's gonna be a high scoring game. I 1110 00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,560 Speaker 6: think Cowboys win thirty seven to thirty five on the rule. 1111 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:13,279 Speaker 6: Christmas Eve, all right, I appreciate you guys, Jonas said, Amber, 1112 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:13,959 Speaker 6: gonna get some lunch. 1113 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:14,719 Speaker 2: We'll be back Monday. 1114 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 3: We'll let you know what. 1115 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
