1 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: The following. 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and 3 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,039 Speaker 1: Cowboys. 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 2: This is He's Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman. 6 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: What is up? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I'm Nick Eatman. Here. 7 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: It is Thursday, September of the nineteenth. I broke the microphone. 8 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: All right, let's get this thing going here. We got 9 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: a couple more days before the Ravens come to town, 10 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: and they're gonna be pissed. But you know what Cowboys 11 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: should be as well. That's what should make this game 12 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. I don't like to call it 13 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: a must win here in late September or mid September, 14 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: but it's it's a better win. You know, you better win, 15 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: especially if you want to be the type of team 16 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: that you want to be better, you better respond somehow, 17 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,639 Speaker 1: some way. I think both teams probably feel that way, 18 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: and definitely from the Cowboys standpoint. Uh I just it's 19 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: not just losing. It's the way you lost. It's the 20 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: way you got man handled and by a team that 21 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: you didn't expect. You didn't expect any team to really 22 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 1: come in and do that. And because it hasn't happened, 23 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: in three or four years for a team you know 24 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: at AT and T Stadium to come and do that. So, 25 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: you know, wake up call for sure. Let's see how 26 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: the Cowboys respond. 27 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 3: Uh. 28 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 1: The injury report did not look great when you when 29 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: you saw it yesterday. That came out a couple of 30 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: guys on there, CD Lamb, Trayvon Diggs. I think it's 31 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: a foot for digs in an in an ankle for 32 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: CD Lamb. My indications that I've heard is that it's 33 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: not gonna be It's not that serious for either one 34 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: of them. Of course, if you miss practice, you miss practice, 35 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: you have to put that on the injury report. But 36 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: I don't think those two guys, Uh, it's gonna be 37 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: that serious. We'll see what Mike McCarthy says here later 38 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: on in a press conference. Uh here on Thursday. But 39 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: all right, eight eight, eight, five two nine seven is 40 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: the number to call. We already have a couple of colors, 41 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: so let's get right to it. 42 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 4: Zach in Atlanta, You're first, Hey, good morning, Nick, How 43 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:09,399 Speaker 4: are you good? 44 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: How are you? 45 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 4: I'm good man good. Gonna keep it short this morning 46 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 4: while we have Trey Lance on the roster. Do you 47 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 4: think there's a package ready, anything that can get him 48 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 4: on the field and use him as a weapon, particularly 49 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 4: in the running game. 50 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think the the key there is 51 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: thanks for the call, Zach, and they could do that. 52 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 1: They one hundred percent could do that. There's a couple 53 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: of things. Number One, from a rule standpoint, he's the 54 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: third quarterback. You'd have to make him the backup quarterback, 55 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: so he could do he could do all of that 56 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: and and it'd be no issues. Now you could you 57 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: could have three quarterbacks active if it's if it's that important, 58 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: you could have three three quarterbacks active. That just means 59 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: somebody else another position. You're gonna go short on something else, 60 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: you know, one less tight end, one less receiver, one 61 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: less running back, one less defensive tackle, something. So you know, 62 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: you could you could do it if you especially if 63 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: you move your elevations up. You know, you want to 64 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: move a linebacker down, and you can put a couple 65 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: of guys up for you know, on the practice court, 66 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: you could do all that. That's that's what it would 67 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: take to you know. Then there's another part of you 68 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: just paid the guy sixty million a year and then 69 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: and now in the red zone, you want to take 70 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: him off the field or run a different package, or 71 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: at least to get the ball out of his hands 72 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: one way or another. I get it, you're trying to score, 73 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: trying to figure it out, but it would have to 74 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: be a really dynamic type play for that for that 75 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: to be the case. I just don't see them doing that. 76 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: But you know that's just because they don't always think 77 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: like that. I think other teams might might try that, 78 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: But again, the big thing is it's the three, it's 79 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: the it's the third quarterback thing, and and is it 80 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: worth it for one or two plays? Is it worth 81 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: it to do that and risk your depth at other positions? 82 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: So or if another thing, if they just feel like 83 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: he's ready to be the backup, they'll take their chances 84 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: and saying we'll do it for this game. If he 85 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: has to play, he has to play. And then if 86 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: something were to happen to Dak knock on wood. But 87 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: if something happens, then you know, we'll figure that out 88 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: for the next weeks. But you know that they could 89 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: do that and make him the back backup if it's 90 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: something they want to do. All right, Gary in New Mexico. 91 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 5: Hey, Nick, how's it going, good, Bud, how are you? 92 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 5: I'm good man. Maybe they ought to just move Trey 93 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 5: Lance to tailback. I mean, he's your most explosive back 94 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 5: as far as speed and breakaway stuff goes. Forget the 95 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 5: quarterback day moving to running back. 96 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 1: I know about that seems right now. 97 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 5: I'm just that that was a halfway job. I was 98 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 5: just catching the tail and they did. I did hear 99 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 5: a trivia question. I heard a trivia question on the 100 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 5: radio the other day. I wanted to run by you 101 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 5: because it kind of surprised me. The trivia question was this, 102 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 5: in the Super Bowl era, which head coach as the 103 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,239 Speaker 5: most two. 104 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: And O starts in the NFL? 105 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 5: Yeah? An NFL history in the Super Bowl era, which 106 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 5: head coach has the most two and oh starts? 107 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got McCarthy. I don't know, I don't know. 108 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 5: Now, somebody guessed McCarthy. I thought it was going to 109 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 5: be Andy Reider, Bill Belichick, but it was Tom Landry. 110 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 5: Oh really, okay, it was coach Landry. Yeah, he had 111 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 5: twenty three seasons of the head coach in the Super 112 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 5: Bowl era, he had sixteen two and oh start at. 113 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 5: Belichick was third, Shoela was second. So that was my 114 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 5: you know, my classic Cowboys moment. But back to this 115 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 5: year's group. I think they can lose to Baltimore. They 116 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 5: can lose to Baltimore and still be okay, it's an 117 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 5: AFC loss, they'd be one and two. But they have 118 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 5: to play well. They cannot get blown out. They have 119 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 5: got to go out and be competitive. And when I 120 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 5: look at this game, you know, all the all the 121 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 5: experts are saying Dallas is going to lose. I think 122 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 5: Dallas is even an underdog. There's nothing that tells me, 123 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 5: I mean, this is a bad matchup. It's just everything. 124 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 5: So with all that said, I think they're going to 125 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 5: go out and win the game. Yeah, I think they're 126 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 5: gonna surprise us. I think Dak Dak Prescott. I love Dak. 127 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 5: I'm glad they signed him, but he's got to raise 128 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 5: his game. If you're going to be the highest paid 129 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 5: player in the league, you can't miss that throw to 130 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 5: Zeke on the goal line, even if you got pressure 131 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 5: in your face. You gotta raise your game, and I 132 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 5: think he's gonna do it. I think they're going to 133 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 5: surprise us this week and pull out a victory. 134 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: I think that's a it's an excellent call. 135 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 6: Gary. 136 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: I appreciate that really great stuff. Hate when I miss 137 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: trivia questions like that. It's Tom Landry pictures all over 138 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: the place. Why didn't I pick that one? Great question? 139 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: And a great point too, you know, I think that's 140 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: a great way to say it. It's not a must win, 141 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: it's a must play. Well, that's a must bounce back game. 142 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: You have to bounce back. You have to show some 143 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: pride there and come back. And I mean, you got 144 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: beat down, and you know, and no one's feeling sorry 145 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 1: for you because the Ravens are coming into town pretty 146 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: mad too, so so they're they're gonna be ready to go. 147 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: But you know, I just think the Cowboys have to 148 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: show that they can be a physical football team because 149 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: that's what happens in the playoffs. That's that's the difference. 150 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: I Mean, you can say Shanahan's schemes and all that 151 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: kind of stuff, and that it's about teams that run 152 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: the football and are physical and strike first. You can 153 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: do all of those things. The Cowboys have a hard 154 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: time matching up with that, especially a team that just 155 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: is committed to running the ball, because if you look 156 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: at the way the Cowboys have been structured. Their their 157 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: speed type of team. Their linebackers are you know, have 158 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: time at times that look like safeties. They have a 159 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: defensive end one of the best in the games. But 160 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: he looks like a linebacker, you know, just from his 161 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: body type. So that stuff works when it's your mismatch, 162 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: but when it's the other way around, it doesn't. So 163 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: it's just the way the way that it goes. But 164 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: I agree that they have to come back and play 165 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: well in this game. All right, Randy and Texarkana? 166 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 7: What's going on? Brother? 167 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: Hey Randy, how are you betting? 168 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 3: I'm all right? 169 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,119 Speaker 7: So yesterday you said you like thinking outside of the box. 170 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 7: I'm gonna think outside of the box in this first part. 171 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 7: I know it will never happen. 172 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: But Brandy, Randy, Randy, you live outside the box, all right? 173 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: All right, all right? 174 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 7: So now this weekend, when you're on the sideline with 175 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 7: the Jones as you can mention it and you can 176 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 7: tell him my sens so. But Michael Irvin doesn't have 177 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 7: a job on Sunday anymore. Give him a title, put 178 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 7: him in a Cowboys shirt, put him on the sideline. 179 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 7: What better hot man do you need? He's got all 180 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 7: your experience. He can be in those guys faces yelling 181 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 7: at him, telling him how to get hype. I mean, 182 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 7: I'm just saying it sounds like a great idea. 183 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: All right, what do you think? Hey? I mean, well, 184 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: I mean why why not? And and he might, you know, 185 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: he might actually run some routes and make some plays 186 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: for you, especially. 187 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 7: Around the gold and he can be in CDs and 188 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 7: tell him to quit pout in every five minutes. That's 189 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 7: the one thing that I love CD. But the one 190 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 7: thing that bothers me about him is he shows his 191 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 7: pouting emotions too much on camera and that's not a 192 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 7: good look. 193 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: Okay, hold up now, because the person, the last person 194 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: that's gonna tell him to keep that at check would 195 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: be Michael Irvin. Now, I don't think you could wear 196 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: eighty eight for the Cowboys and not have rants on 197 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: the sideline. I don't know what Drew Pearson was doing 198 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: back in the seventies. I don't know if the cameras 199 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: caught him, but I know Michael did, I know Deaz did, 200 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 1: Antonio'bryant did at eighty eight. And of course CD has 201 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: CD's not as vocal as some of those guys, but 202 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: he does you know? But whatever, go ahead, go ahead. 203 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 7: And I was gonna say, well, maybe that's the difference 204 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 7: them guys were going off and you could tell they're 205 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 7: going off. But he looks more like a kid that 206 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 7: didn't get his weight, Like you know, Mama told you 207 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 7: couldn't have a snack. That's how he kind of looked. 208 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 7: I don't know. It's a bad look, but but I've 209 00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,599 Speaker 7: got a question for you, and then I'll let you 210 00:09:59,640 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 7: get there. 211 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 3: All right. 212 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 7: So the Ravens coming up, you can't run on them 213 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 7: because of their defense. And the Ravens run so we 214 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 7: can't hardly stop and run. 215 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 5: So my question to you. 216 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 7: Is, if you had one shot to take sending like 217 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 7: eminem Now, if you had one shot to take here 218 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 7: and you could make a major trade with a major 219 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 7: draft pick, would you select a quality running back And 220 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 7: I'm talking about a quality, not a backup, not just 221 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 7: barely better than what we've already got, but a good 222 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 7: running back. Or would you take a monster defensive lineman? 223 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 7: Which one are you taking? And why? And I'll listen out. 224 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: There, all right, it's a good one I would probably take. 225 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you said monster, so I would take a 226 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: monster defensive lineman, I would take a guy because I 227 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: feel like a monster defensive lineman or just a game 228 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: changer there would would help you in so many ways. 229 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: I mean, like, you know, I look at DeMarcus where 230 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: his career, but I mean, and he was great and 231 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: he was going to be great regardless. But but I 232 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: mean I think I think having a guy like Jay 233 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: Ratliffe in the middle that helped him, you know, and 234 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: then probably vice versa. But but I do think with 235 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: Mica and Tank on the outside, I do think the 236 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: a defensive lineman like that would help those guys. That 237 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: helps your passwords, which helps your corners, and certainly it 238 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: helps those linebackers get to where they want to go. 239 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: So and we've just seen we've just seen running backs 240 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: excel at all different types of players, you know, and 241 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: if you're strong and you're quick, you can see the 242 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: whole you can help as long as you've got it blocked. 243 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 1: So I you know, they don't have that. I mean, 244 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: I don't get me wrong, I take a running back 245 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: like that too, but I think they have other issues 246 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: besides just the running back. You know, I don't know, 247 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if the who's the best back in 248 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: the game. I don't. I mean Christian McCaffrey, I guess. 249 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I don't know if the best 250 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: running back in football is going to come in here 251 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 1: and have the same kind of success. I think they 252 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: have other issues in how they run it all right. 253 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: Derek in Springfield, Missouri, Derek. 254 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 7: Hey, Hey, how are you know? 255 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: Good Man? How are you? 256 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 2: Oh? 257 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 6: Good? 258 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 7: It's been a while. I actually the last time I 259 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 7: got in was the first night after the first round 260 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 7: of the draft, so wow, you know, actually it may 261 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 7: have been the second or whatever, but yeah, but anyway, man, 262 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 7: I just wanted to call in and kind of voice 263 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 7: some concern in an opinion. So first starters, like, I'm 264 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 7: nervous about this Ravens game. I'm worried they're just going 265 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 7: to run the ball down our throat like the SAME's good. 266 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 7: So not feeling great there. And then I don't know, 267 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 7: I just always get this feeling like I feel like 268 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 7: this team cannot handle success, whether it be short term success, 269 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 7: Like it's like after we beat Cleveland, it's like I 270 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 7: just feel like they get a big head, Like I 271 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 7: feel like they had a big head going into the 272 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 7: Green Bay game, and I mean, you know, nobody really 273 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 7: knows the truth on that, but I just I get that, Like, 274 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 7: I feel like some of these younger guys, they I 275 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 7: feel like they watch ESPN and here the narratives, and 276 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 7: you know, Dak does a good job saying he doesn't 277 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 7: watch it and doesn't listen to it. So you know, 278 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 7: I believe that, you know, I believe I guess what 279 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 7: he says there, but I don't know. And then you know, 280 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 7: I'm kind of pressing the panic button on this D line. 281 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 7: I I really feel like it's kind to use some 282 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 7: of these future picks for next year, whether they be 283 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 7: the comp picks that we've got coming, or you know, 284 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 7: a third rounder or whatever, to get some D line help. 285 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 7: You know, we need somebody younger in that interior. I 286 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 7: feel like last year we waited too long to try 287 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 7: to get our linebacker, which you know we never did. 288 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 7: I mean, we tried to get Leonard to come in, 289 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 7: and you know, he went to Philly, which I don't 290 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 7: think that moved the needle for them either. But I 291 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 7: just don't want to see us wait around like we 292 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 7: did last year at the linebacker position, at the D 293 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 7: line position, I'm personally not worried about the running game. 294 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 7: I feel like when the you know, continuity is very 295 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 7: important on the offensive line, and I feel like they're 296 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 7: going to start gelling. So I'm not really worried about that. 297 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,119 Speaker 7: I'm just really worried about the sea line, the interior. 298 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 7: So anyway, I know I said it, get off here. 299 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 7: Thank you very much man. 300 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: Thanks Derek. Well, it doesn't sound like the move to 301 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: bring in Carlos Watkins has helped those concerns there. For Derek, 302 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: I'm joking. I mean, he's a guy that has played, 303 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: you know, pretty well and when he was here for 304 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: the for the cow heich is on the practice squad 305 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: from Washington with Dan Quinn, so you know, he's he's 306 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: definitely a DQ guy. But you know, he's a little 307 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: younger obviously than what they had and uh, you know, 308 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: they put Jordan Phillips. 309 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 8: On I R. 310 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: So so you know, now either they they lose a 311 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: little in size, of course, but but maybe a little 312 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: bit more from an agility standpoint and in younger. But 313 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: he's been around, he's he's been to different teams and 314 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: uh he's coming off of biceps injury from last year. 315 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: So we'll see, we'll see if Carlos Watkins can help 316 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: with that. But yeah, I mean, I think what you're 317 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: talking about is making trades for you know, a young guy, 318 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: and it's it's hard. 319 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 9: Man. 320 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: The defensive tackles, you know, they they they hang on 321 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: to him in the league. They they want to develop. 322 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: Everybody wants to develop those young defensive tackles, so it's 323 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: hard for them to kind of you know, cut ties 324 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: and and and move on. There's just not a lot 325 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: of guys out there at this point, especially when you 326 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: when you think about just how many more players are 327 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: on rosters now, seventeen or sixteen practice squad guys for 328 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: most teams, you know, and on top of you know, 329 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: you have injured reserves and all that, and then a 330 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: fifty three man roster there's seventy seventy five players in 331 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: each facility. So it's there's just not a lot of 332 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: guys out there. I mean, to really help at this 333 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: point in the season. All right, all league in Florida. Hi, Nick, 334 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: How are you good? How are you doing pretty good? 335 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 7: Buddy? 336 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 3: A couple questions. 337 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 10: First of all, I want to thanks Misster Jones to 338 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 10: Sonny Dak and CD. And second, I think Dak and 339 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 10: Michael and zeke is not our problem, especially talking about trades. 340 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 10: No trades, and then the zeke is good for the 341 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 10: short yartage and protection for Zach for Dak. So having 342 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 10: said that, I believe in my heart Cowboys will wins 343 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 10: is this game because they got caught up embarrassed and 344 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 10: everybody picking baltimorees that's okay, But I don't think Henry 345 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 10: is going to be a factor. I think Lomar Jackson 346 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 10: is going to be more factor than Henry because Henry 347 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 10: is just like a heavy, heavy running back. But one question, 348 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 10: you know, because Lucky Eagles lost and they're gonna go 349 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 10: play Saints Eagles. The drafted all Georgia tackles, they ranked 350 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 10: worse than a Cowboys against rushing defense. So there's just 351 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 10: one game I agree with the collar before a couple 352 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 10: of colors before that. If we lose, we just gotta 353 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 10: play a great game to get the confidence out. Hopefully 354 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 10: we don't have that much injury. A better question for 355 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 10: you on a hanger, do you run to set up 356 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 10: the pass? Well, do you pass to set up the run? 357 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 10: Thank you? 358 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 7: Nick? 359 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: All right, that's that's one of those questions that you 360 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: know that's a lot of football coaches, they say one thing, 361 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: but sometimes they do the other. You know, I think 362 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: the old old school approaches run the ball to to 363 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: set up the pass. It sets up your your play action. Obviously, 364 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: you could pass the ball to set up your run 365 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: withdraw plays and stuff like that. You know, I I always, 366 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: you know, I try to. I would try to move 367 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: the ball to move the ball, you know, and and 368 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: and and I know that that's that's not answering the question. 369 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: But it's just not not ever one thing. It's never 370 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 1: it's never just this. This is not how it's done. 371 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 1: I mean, you you you do, you know you do. 372 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 1: At times you're gonna you're gonna need to run the 373 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: ball and you and you need to be good enough 374 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: to take take advantage of what you're seeing. That's what 375 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: the great quarterbacks can do. Yeah, you might have the 376 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: greatest running back behind you, but you know, I mean 377 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: when Troy Aikman had Emmitt Smith and they were having 378 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: eight in the box. I mean, I can tell you 379 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: in my very first game I ever I've ever went 380 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: to as an employee with the Cowboys ninety nine Washington 381 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: game in overtime, third and two, they were going to 382 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: run the ball. They were going to run the ball 383 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: to emittt Smith, but Washington was cheating everyone down, so 384 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: Troy checked out of it and threw a deep ball 385 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: to rocket Ismalth to win the game. I mean, they 386 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: were going to run to set up the pass, but 387 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: they had done it all. So I think it's a 388 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 1: great question, and it's great to have a philosophy, but 389 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: I think the best philosophy is to say, I'm going 390 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: to go move the ball based off of what I 391 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: see from your defense on this particular play, and you 392 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: need to be good enough to run it when they 393 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: think you're going to run, good enough to pass, but 394 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: they think you're going to pass, and then you know 395 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: good enough to switch it around as well. All right, 396 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: let's go. Let's take a break real quick on Cowboys storyline. 397 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: Let's do that.

Irene 423 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 1: falls Shirts Virginiam, Irene Hello, Hello, Hey. 424 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 12: First of all, haven't called in this week yet. I 425 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 12: have to say I'm very proud of Cowboys Nation. I 426 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 12: thought there would have been angrier calls Monday Tuesday. That's 427 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 12: why I was like, let me just let them. 428 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 13: Get get it out. 429 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 12: There was passion, but not nothing crazy, So I guess 430 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 12: it's too early anyhow, So I started watching. 431 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 14: The film on the Ravens. 432 00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 9: I watched. 433 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 12: I didn't watch full the second game, but I of 434 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 12: course watched the Thursday night game to open the season. 435 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 12: You know, they've been in two close games, although the 436 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 12: first one didn't start it. Everything just kind of looks 437 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 12: tough with them. It's not I don't know why they're 438 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,719 Speaker 12: owing to They just they don't seem to be flowing 439 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 12: well on offense yet. I don't I don't know if 440 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 12: there's weakness in their offensive win because it's kind of 441 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 12: early to tell. It could just be the defensive lines 442 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 12: are up against I guess we're about to see. But 443 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 12: it just looks like it'll be a hard spot game 444 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 12: one way or another. And something I was thinking about 445 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 12: with the Eagles Falcons game. I think another caller said 446 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 12: this a couple of days ago. Why are we never 447 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 12: in a close game? So I think we're in for 448 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 12: I hope we're in for a close game because it 449 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 12: could go the same way. But it would be nice 450 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,959 Speaker 12: to be able to play one of these, even if 451 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 12: we don't win, it to be like, okay, we can 452 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 12: be in a battle and you know, see a few 453 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 12: things go way, not like, oh it's done by the 454 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 12: second quarter. You know, one thing I noticed on films, 455 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 12: especially because I actually agree on the playing deuce more 456 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 12: and playing Lipsky Moore at least giving it a shot. 457 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 12: These guys are really tough against wide runs. I keep 458 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 12: seeing you know, negative five yards runs. So it might 459 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 12: need to be something where they try some screen game, 460 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 12: which I know we haven't been great at for I 461 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 12: don't even know a decade, maybe, but that it might 462 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 12: be the time to try that. They seem to It's again, 463 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 12: nothing's going to come easy with them, but there's some 464 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 12: moderate success there that I've noticed. Anyway, I will say 465 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 12: this so far, I'm I went two in my Cowboys 466 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 12: predictions this year, so it might bode well because I 467 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 12: can't I haven't seen anything to give me a win 468 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 12: here for our boys, but maybe that bodes well that 469 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 12: I'll be oh and three in my predictions this year. 470 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, I like how you think I'm the 471 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: same way. You know, you think, oh, it's going to 472 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 1: be this and flip it around and all that. Yeah, 473 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: I played mind games with yourself, now, I you know 474 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: you talked about close games the Cowboys. I'm looking at 475 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: last year. I think it's only five that I see 476 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: that are. I mean we're talking like one score games here, 477 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: and I only I only count five on the schedule. 478 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: And the Cowboys were three and two in those games. 479 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: So you know, they beat the Chargers by three and 480 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: then lost to the to the Eagles by five in 481 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: a game that you know, they had a great chance 482 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 1: to win that one. And then they beat Seattle at 483 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: home that was a very close game back and forth, 484 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: Miami another game they could have won, and then Detroit 485 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: a game that they did win that could have lost. 486 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: Obviously it was close. So yeah, I mean five five 487 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: games out of seventeen, that's that's not a lot. I mean, 488 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: and you credit I mean the Cowboys were good team. 489 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: I mean they last year, you know, and Jeury John 490 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: if they're going to be good this year, But I 491 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: mean they were good last year. Their offense was really good, 492 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,719 Speaker 1: one of the best in the league, and their defense 493 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: was very good and you know, opportunistic at times. So 494 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: that's what you're going to get a lot of blowout. 495 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens here. But you know, so 496 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: far it hasn't been a close games, but I have 497 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: a feeling this one might be. All right. Dylan in Northport, Florida. 498 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 7: Say, thank Gods, be going good. 499 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: How are you? 500 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 14: I'm good. I just want to give you my prediction 501 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 14: and a bold prediction. But forward you that we talked 502 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 14: about the run game and the offensive line running backs, 503 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 14: and we don't really ever talk about the receivers. And 504 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 14: I was looking at some stats and stuff, and right 505 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 14: now I don't pfs not the end all, be all 506 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 14: or whatever, but they're a good resource and Tolbert right 507 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 14: now has their fifth worst run blocking grade as a receiver. 508 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 14: Cooks has the tenth worst run blocking grade as a receiver. 509 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 14: And we saw Brooks miss a big block on the 510 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 14: end around that could have been a touchdown, could potentially 511 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 14: change the game last week, maybe at least from the 512 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 14: offensive side, and so a part of and Irene said, 513 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 14: you know, the Ravens are pretty good on the outside 514 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 14: runs and stuff, but once you get to that second 515 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 14: level and if you do need to break her on outside, 516 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 14: I mean, you're counting on these guys to block. And 517 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 14: this team runs a lot of end arounds and stuff 518 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 14: like that, so they're going to be successful in that regard. 519 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 14: They've got to have receivers out there that can block. 520 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 14: And I know that Flirinoid is a guy that we 521 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 14: saw in training camp in preseason. He put a couple 522 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 14: of guys on their butts preseason games. So I'd like 523 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 14: to see him out there maybe a little bit more 524 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 14: this week and see what we can do. 525 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, all right, Dylan, that's that's good observation there. 526 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: And I know that you know, uh PFF Pro Football 527 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: Focus they do, they do a good job of that 528 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. And you know, I think it's it's 529 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: an important part of the position at wide receiver. It's 530 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: not just you know, running routs and catching it's the 531 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 1: biggest part. But but you certainly can can help your 532 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: your entire team with guys that can block on the 533 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: edge and and not get you know, flagged for penalties 534 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: and set you back and things like that. And you know, 535 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: Tolbert's had some struggles there, and you know he's not 536 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: the biggest guy in the world, and neither his cooks. 537 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: But you've got to be able to be a willing 538 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 1: blocker that can get in the way, you know, I mean, 539 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: you know, you don't need pancakes out there. You need 540 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: to be able to wall them off and you know, 541 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: seal the edge or whatever you're trying to do and 542 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 1: make sure that you know, a big play can get 543 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: even bigger down down the field. So that's that's a 544 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: good observation. And it's something that that you know, it's 545 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: it's a sneaky part of the game, a sneaky aspect 546 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: that that can can slow you down. You know why 547 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 1: you're not you know, you say, well, why don't we 548 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: have explosive plays? Well, we have some decent runs, some 549 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: decent plays here and there, but it's only ten to fifteen. 550 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: We don't get those thirty to forty and a lot 551 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: of times it's the receivers blocking that'll make those nice 552 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: chunk plays into really big plays. So all right, good 553 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: stuff there, Anthony and Miami. I'm sure you have. 554 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 3: Now I need to quick my guy.

You're becoming my second 582 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 3: favorite player. Man, don't listen to this garbage you're hearing 583 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 3: people go with this podcast stuff. And the podcast ain't bad. 584 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 3: When you play in your wreck shop like you did 585 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 3: in Cleveland, when you when you should be the envy, 586 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 3: you know, the divisive player of the year as in 587 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 3: last year, and you're competing against guys like Why and 588 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 3: Garrett and all that, podcasts ain't bad. But when people 589 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 3: scheme against you and stuff like that, Michael Parsons can't 590 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 3: play anymore. I just don't get it. I just people 591 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 3: try to insinuate it, and some of them, I right 592 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 3: say it. Man. If y'all mad and y'all mad at 593 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 3: the Cowboys losing, I'm gonna give you some players to 594 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 3: look at. And I saw the game too. Terence Steele 595 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 3: was straight garbage. All three tackles maybe except for Osa 596 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 3: was garbage. Male He Cooker garbage. Damont Cark was garbage that. 597 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 3: Now nobody played great, but that was garbage. So if 598 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 3: y'all watching y'all film and y'all all twenty twos, I 599 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 3: don't do that. I don't have I don't have faith, 600 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 3: I don't have anything. I'm not in a group. I'm 601 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 3: an independent caller and I can call it like I 602 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 3: see it. The Cowboys have to play better. The coaches 603 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 3: got to get a little bit more innovative. And the 604 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 3: key to winning from all my old football people that 605 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 3: played ball that I know that I am in Miami, 606 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 3: that I talked to, and something on the Cowboys team 607 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 3: that were friends of mine. Until the players, no matter 608 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 3: what schemes and the coaches give them all untwo, those 609 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 3: players come together as a collective and say I'm not 610 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 3: gonna be the man that they beat. I'm not gonna 611 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 3: be the man that causes my team to lose today, 612 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 3: and have that culture, get that mentality in their mindset. 613 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 3: You could do whatever you want to do and add 614 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 3: whoever you want to the team. Until they get that 615 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 3: and get that coach to going for two to three years, 616 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 3: then they got a chance at the super Bowl. Other 617 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 3: than that, let's just sit back and enjoy the ride, 618 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 3: and it's hope they get there. That's all I gotta say. Nick, 619 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 3: I'm sorry I had to let that out, all right. 620 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: We have a we have a segment on this week 621 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: that we we have to do every week which is 622 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: sponsored by YETI, the YETI Hot Take of the Week. 623 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: And uh, Anthony, you're flirting with that, of course, because 624 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: certainly you seem pretty hot under the collar hot about 625 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: a lot of things. I'm not a fan of calling 626 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: the players garbage though, or especially for the for their 627 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: performance in the game. You know, it wasn't good. I mean, 628 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: it wasn't good. But you know, it doesn't have to 629 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: be rolled out to the alley and picked up on Tuesdays, 630 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I mean, it's not like that. 631 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's what I view for garbage. I mean, 632 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,719 Speaker 1: I think I think they have to you know, they 633 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: those guys have to play better. I mean, there's no 634 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: doubt about it. I think there's a there's a there's 635 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: a way to say that. But but I get it, 636 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: I hear, you know, I feel the passion. I hear it, 637 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, let's hope to put the Cowboys 638 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: as a team can go out and play that that 639 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: way as well. And and you know, and the part 640 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: about Micah Parsons is as great as he has been, 641 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: and he is. I mean, the game got away from 642 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: from him literally because they went away from him. But 643 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: you know, those players, you know, have to step up, 644 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: and you know his play has to make others better, 645 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: you know, but he has to play, you know, he 646 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: has to set the edge as well. I mean, they 647 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: were running at him, you know, they they ran at 648 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: him because that's the best way to neutralize him. And 649 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: so you know he's going to have to, you know, 650 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: figure out how to how to get off those blocks 651 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: too and make plays and force it back inside. And 652 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: you know that there's there's a big part of that 653 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: on defense that it's not just about rushing the passer, 654 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: all right, Robin in Vegas is next? Rob, Hey, Nick, Hey, Rob. 655 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 13: You know I heard a couple of fans say that 656 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 13: the Cowboys don't have to win this game, they just 657 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 13: have to look good. 658 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 14: And I'm like, that's ridiculous. 659 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 13: This isn't pee wee football. There's no participation trophy. This 660 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 13: team has to win this game because they have to 661 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 13: show it to beat good teams. They struggle against good 662 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 13: teams with good quarterbacks. Yeah, they're gonna beat the Giants 663 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 13: with Daniel Jones or Washington or Carolina. They eat those 664 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 13: or those teams like Cleveland. But yes, this there's no 665 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 13: participation trophy this team. It's time for the team to 666 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 13: actually do something to get where they gotta go. They're 667 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 13: gonna have to beat the Lions, the the Ravens, teams 668 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 13: like that, because that's who you're gonna face. 669 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know what rob if they beat If 670 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: they beat the Ravens, you know exactly what people are 671 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: going to say, they're rowing three. 672 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 13: But but that's that's them. I don't care what the 673 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 13: outside say. As a fan, I I understand how good 674 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 13: the Ravens are. What I what I'm really looking at 675 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 13: is what the Ravens do good. We don't. So if 676 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 13: we somehow adjust and beat them, then I could say, Okay, Zimmer, 677 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 13: Zimmer gets it found something, Zimma made some changes. If 678 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:08,320 Speaker 13: we get trucked again and Lamar Jackson is running outside 679 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 13: again and we just get blown off the field, then no, 680 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 13: it doesn't. Then I say to myself, here we go again. 681 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 13: This team will will beat will beat the bad teams, 682 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 13: but they will not beat the good teams. 683 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 1: Okay, but okay, you just went hot and cold. What 684 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 1: about what about in the middle. That's that's what I 685 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 1: think these callers were talking about. No one's talking about 686 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 1: getting trucked, getting trucked, but. 687 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,280 Speaker 13: He wants to be in the middle. What is the middle? 688 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: What I'm talking? No, no, no, no, no, what what 689 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,919 Speaker 1: they said? And I'm going to defend the callers because 690 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 1: I agreed with that. That part what they said was 691 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: is that they've got to play well in this game, 692 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: like they have to. 693 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 13: Yes, but they have to win. 694 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,320 Speaker 1: Or what or what they're winning two and then seasons can. 695 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 13: Well, it's no, they have to win. They don't get 696 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,919 Speaker 13: trust me. These are professional athletes. They're not coming off 697 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,800 Speaker 13: the field and by fiving themselves if they lose thirty 698 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 13: five thirty one and say ooh we played good. No 699 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,360 Speaker 13: that little kids do that. No, these guys got to 700 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 13: win because they understand too that they haven't beaten good 701 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 13: teams with good quarterbacks in a couple of years. They 702 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 13: understand that the Dallas Cowboys are looking to go to 703 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 13: the playoffs. They're looking to go to the NFC Championship. 704 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 13: They understand to get there, you have to beat. 705 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 14: These teams, and it's. 706 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 13: Now or never. Why why not? 707 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 3: Now? 708 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 13: So what I'm saying, you got them at home, which 709 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 13: is which you got lucky because it could have been worse. 710 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 13: It could have been in Baltimore. So you got them 711 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 13: at home. It's another home game. You already got blown 712 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 13: out the first one, So you want to let one slide. 713 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 13: You know, let's say that you tried to. We had 714 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,839 Speaker 13: a great home record last year. They have to take 715 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 13: advantage of being at home. Now, I'm not this isn't 716 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 13: a must win technically, but this is a must win 717 00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 13: for them because they just need to beat a good team, 718 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 13: not not play good and lose. 719 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, Well, I mean that's fine. We 720 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 1: can we can agree to disagree. 721 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,919 Speaker 13: And I know what, so you you think if they 722 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 13: played good and lose, that's gonna make them feel good. 723 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 1: I don't care about how they feel. I mean, it 724 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 1: doesn't matter about I don't. 725 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 13: Understand why everybody's saying and you're agreeing with people that 726 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 13: are saying, well, they don't have to win they just 727 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 13: have to play good. 728 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 6: What does that do? 729 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 9: Well? 730 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: You just have to win. You just said it yourself 731 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: that it's not a must win. 732 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 13: No, No, it's not a must win on paper, but 733 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 13: it's a must win in their brain. And that's more 734 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 13: important than the paper. 735 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: Okay, because there will be okay. 736 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 13: More, they're gonna have to play good teams. 737 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 1: All right, all right. I think I think the point 738 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,919 Speaker 1: that I'm I'm making, and I don't know about what 739 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 1: everybody is because we've heard two people, there's been nine callers. 740 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 1: What I'm saying is is that if if they lose 741 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: a close game, that won't be good. Obviously there'll be 742 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,359 Speaker 1: one and two, they'll be in a hole and all that. 743 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: But but I think there's probably some things you can 744 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,319 Speaker 1: work on. It's a long season. You've got some more 745 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,280 Speaker 1: winnable games. You gonna have to figure out some things. 746 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 1: If they get blown out again like they did in 747 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 1: week two, now we have major problems. Major problem. 748 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 13: That's that's a definite. 749 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying is must win. No, you agreed, 750 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: not it must win. 751 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,320 Speaker 13: Not saying no, not on paper. 752 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: You must play well in this game, you must. 753 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 13: But you have to win you need to win, you 754 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 13: need to beat this. You need to show yourselves. Okay, 755 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,399 Speaker 13: that the Green Bay game and the Saints game were 756 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 13: that operations, that that's not the norm. If you lose 757 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 13: again to the Ravens, maybe that is the norm. That 758 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 13: good teams with good quarterbacks are going to beat you, 759 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:46,799 Speaker 13: even at home. 760 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, and and and maybe. But you just kind of 761 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 1: switched it when you said they need to win. I 762 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,240 Speaker 1: get it. It's it's it's like sleep, you don't you 763 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 1: must have sleep, and you need sleep, but you don't 764 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 1: have to have it every single minute. It's so this 765 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: is a this is one of those games. And I 766 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,240 Speaker 1: think we're saying the same thing. We're saying the exact 767 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,760 Speaker 1: same thing. My point is, I think. 768 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 13: We are okay. But I just didn't understand what people say. 769 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 13: They don't have to win. This will be a feel 770 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 13: good game if they play good. Absolutely not. 771 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: Never heard that, and I haven't heard that on this 772 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 1: show either. I think nobody said feel good. No one 773 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: said feel good. All right, Rob, all right, we're gonna 774 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: move on.

I'm good, I'm good. 803 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:29,000 Speaker 16: Just want to I think we win this game if 804 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 16: we show some physicality, even if we lose on the scoreboard. 805 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 16: What I'd really like to see us do against a 806 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 16: physical team is just be physical with them. Don't just 807 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,240 Speaker 16: get punched in the mouth and say, Okay, it's okay, 808 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 16: you just hit me in my mouth. But I think 809 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:55,240 Speaker 16: we win if we show if we match their physicality. 810 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 16: And that's all I got to say. 811 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: All Right, all right, sounds good. Uh. They want to 812 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 1: go down that road again about don't have to win 813 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,400 Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. I agree, you have to. 814 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,920 Speaker 1: You have to to play well, you have to show 815 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:15,280 Speaker 1: that you can be a tough football team. And because 816 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 1: and that's that's the point that I that I was making. 817 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,320 Speaker 1: I think the point that the callers were making, and 818 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: this is not I just don't get into the moral 819 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,359 Speaker 1: victory part of it. It's it's you know, you can 820 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 1: bounce back this year. There's a lot of football left. 821 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 1: You can bounce back if you start off one and two. 822 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,919 Speaker 1: I mean, because if you start off one and two, 823 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,760 Speaker 1: you play a good, close game and don't beat the Ravens, 824 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 1: you know you can still turn things around. Because I 825 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 1: guarantee you you're gonna think that the Ravens are good 826 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,280 Speaker 1: because they're one and two. I mean like you're gonna 827 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 1: say that they still have time. I think the point 828 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:54,040 Speaker 1: that everyone's making is, don't stack that crappy game that 829 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 1: you just showed in Week two against the Saints at home. 830 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 1: Don't put another one out there against the Ravens in 831 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:04,360 Speaker 1: Week three and expect this to go. Well, it's not. 832 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,439 Speaker 1: It's not. And I think that's when what everyone that's 833 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,440 Speaker 1: when you hit the panic button, because that means you're 834 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 1: really not a good football team if you if you 835 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,919 Speaker 1: can't respond in a game like that. So I think 836 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,759 Speaker 1: that's what everyone is. It's early to find anything out. 837 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 1: Win close, lose, close, win big. You still don't know 838 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:28,759 Speaker 1: a lot about the team. Get beat bad though in 839 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 1: this game, you know a lot about the team, and 840 00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,280 Speaker 1: it's not a good thing. And I think that's the point, 841 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 1: at least that's the point I was trying to make, 842 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 1: all right, Troy and Amarillo is next. 843 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 6: Hey, Nick has a going man first time Colverhood, Hey, 844 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 6: real quickly. I was just going to tell you, you know, 845 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 6: I don't defend Rob a whole lot, man, but I 846 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,800 Speaker 6: think Rob had a point the last time. 847 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 7: Nick. 848 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 6: The only thing he was basically saying, and I'm saying 849 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 6: it too, is that you have to win some of 850 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:54,759 Speaker 6: these games. And I get it, you know, but the 851 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,439 Speaker 6: narrative last year was, you know, we had Green Bay 852 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 6: coming in. You know, we had a you know, rookie 853 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 6: basically a rookie quarterback coming in, you know, and stuff. 854 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,719 Speaker 6: We had everything set up. You know, if we would 855 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 6: have won that game and somehow the Niners could lose, 856 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:09,760 Speaker 6: you know, we'd have had a you know, a coast 857 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,120 Speaker 6: all the way to the championship game. But and the 858 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 6: this year, you've gotten the narrative as well. You know, 859 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:15,799 Speaker 6: you've got a lot of tough games, but most of 860 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,920 Speaker 6: them are in home. You know, I think we're going 861 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 6: to struggle this week coming up. I really do, because 862 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,239 Speaker 6: I don't think we can stop the run for one thing, 863 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 6: we can't run the ball very well, you know, per attempt. 864 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,520 Speaker 6: But you know, it's just I don't I don't see 865 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,320 Speaker 6: him having a whole lot of success this year unless 866 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,120 Speaker 6: they get those things fixed. And this has been an 867 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 6: ongoing problem. So but and I love Anthony to death, men, 868 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 6: And don't don't get me wrong, but uh, Micah, you know, 869 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,480 Speaker 6: for all he does and everything like that, I love Micah. 870 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,440 Speaker 6: But the thing is, though, is that if he doesn't 871 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,760 Speaker 6: enjoy it a little bit of success in the first half, 872 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,239 Speaker 6: he kind of pouched a little bit, you know, and 873 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 6: then he does kind of a disappearing act in the 874 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 6: second half. And for a guy that's probably wanting a 875 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 6: three hundred million dollar contract, I could see where man, 876 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,120 Speaker 6: there'll be a little bit of apprehension. 877 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:55,319 Speaker 16: Man. 878 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,160 Speaker 6: So I'm just saying, you know, but I love all 879 00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 6: these guys, love the commentary and I and I appreciate it. 880 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 1: Nick, thank you, all right, thank you for the first 881 00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:09,279 Speaker 1: time calling Troy. Appreciate that. And you know, the thing 882 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,759 Speaker 1: about is about let's say the Mica part. I mean, 883 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: I think if the game doesn't go well, you know, 884 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,680 Speaker 1: you're saying he doesn't make a lot of plays and 885 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:23,440 Speaker 1: paths in the second it maybe maybe you could say that, 886 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 1: but but it's also like, what does he do best? 887 00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 1: He rushes the quarterback and he and he makes plays 888 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 1: and gets sacks and disrupts the passing game. And when 889 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 1: you're in a game like that against the against the 890 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 1: Saints or Buffalo last year, or any of those games 891 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 1: where you know it's kind of out of hand in 892 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,359 Speaker 1: the second half and they're running the ball and they're 893 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,440 Speaker 1: not going to do anything but run the ball, then 894 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:46,880 Speaker 1: of course you're not going to see a lot of 895 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,680 Speaker 1: Micah Parsons. That's not really his game. And so that's 896 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,760 Speaker 1: that's part of it. And I would imagine all of 897 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,960 Speaker 1: the great pass rushers in the league, they're all kind 898 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 1: of the same way. If Pittsburgh gets down, if Raiders 899 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,080 Speaker 1: get down, I bet t J. Watt, Max Crosby, arm 900 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,040 Speaker 1: just not as good. When you're just running the ball, 901 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 1: running the ball, you're not seeing that kind of you know, 902 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:11,359 Speaker 1: disruptive play. So now pouting and whatever it is, that's 903 00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,480 Speaker 1: body language that you know we're trying to to put 904 00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,640 Speaker 1: on him. But you know, I I just think that 905 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,839 Speaker 1: that you know, he needs to run, I mean, he 906 00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,720 Speaker 1: needs he plays his best when you know the ears 907 00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,880 Speaker 1: are pinned back and they're going after the whole defense 908 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 1: does but they got to do their part early on, 909 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,160 Speaker 1: and the offense has to help on the other side 910 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 1: to get them that lead to be able to play 911 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,320 Speaker 1: that way. You know, it's it's it's that's a vacation. 912 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,400 Speaker 1: That's what that is. Is you're playing a vacation. But 913 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 1: you can't have a vacation if you don't do the 914 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,920 Speaker 1: dirty work to save money and and and do you know, 915 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,319 Speaker 1: you know, kind of you know, figure out how to 916 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,960 Speaker 1: buckle down and and and and then save up for 917 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,640 Speaker 1: that reward. It's the same type of thing. You can't 918 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 1: play that kind of football if you haven't done the 919 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 1: work in the first half. And that's kind of what 920 00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,800 Speaker 1: it is. All Right, we're gonna be so the calls. 921 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,880 Speaker 1: We are free on calls right now. Lines are open. 922 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,120 Speaker 1: We got a few more minutes. We could probably sneak 923 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,919 Speaker 1: one more in, but I'll just say that and maybe 924 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 1: we'll kind of, you know, tie a bow on this one. 925 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,920 Speaker 1: I don't think I do, and no one, I mean 926 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 1: I do enough talking. No one's gonna put any words 927 00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,560 Speaker 1: in my mouth. Okay, So we're not We're not talking 928 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 1: about that that they don't have to win the game 929 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 1: and it's fine if they lose. No one is saying that. 930 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:30,320 Speaker 1: All I'm saying is is this is to the last caller, obviously, 931 00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 1: to the one with Rob and anybody else, anyone that 932 00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,400 Speaker 1: that's trying to say that they don't have to go 933 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:39,040 Speaker 1: out and win this game. No, you have, that's the goal. 934 00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 1: You have to go win the game. All I'm saying 935 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 1: is we're gonna find a lot out about this team. 936 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 1: If they do not respond and they do not play well, 937 00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,759 Speaker 1: if they don't play well again, then I think that 938 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,279 Speaker 1: there's major problems week three, not even at a September, 939 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,840 Speaker 1: and you can say this team has major problems. That's what. 940 00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,400 Speaker 1: That's one thing that I think we're gonna be able 941 00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,400 Speaker 1: to figure out well, and we hope we don't. We 942 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,439 Speaker 1: don't get that way. That's the point. That's the one 943 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,200 Speaker 1: thing that you're really going to be able to say 944 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,279 Speaker 1: that's who this team is. If they don't go out 945 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,920 Speaker 1: and play well any other scenario, then I think the 946 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,680 Speaker 1: jury is still out. And that's kind of my point 947 00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,799 Speaker 1: to all this is that and even if they do 948 00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,560 Speaker 1: get blown out, doesn't mean you ended up the season. 949 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,319 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean we're not having a show, doesn't mean all that. 950 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,719 Speaker 1: All I'm saying is is, you know it's going to 951 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,440 Speaker 1: be one of those games, one of those seasons if 952 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,279 Speaker 1: they don't go out and play well, and now I 953 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,200 Speaker 1: think they will. I think they will respond. I think 954 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,040 Speaker 1: they're too good of a team to just lay down. 955 00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,120 Speaker 1: But it'll be really sad if they don't do that. 956 00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,440 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to uh is it? Jeff and Detroit? 957 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:41,359 Speaker 16: Ay? 958 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,480 Speaker 9: Nick has going? This is Jesse from now Futher Detroit 959 00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:45,120 Speaker 9: Stecond Area. 960 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:46,480 Speaker 1: Sorry, how you doing man? 961 00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 9: I'm doing good man. I'm not gonna hammer or speak 962 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 9: about the defense. I think that has already been talking 963 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:58,200 Speaker 9: enough about, talked enough from the previous callers. But for me, 964 00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:04,360 Speaker 9: what I will like to see is more movement in 965 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:10,240 Speaker 9: the offense from Mike McCarthy. I think our offense is stagnant. 966 00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,840 Speaker 9: I would like to see more motions in the offense. 967 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,879 Speaker 9: I think our he has to do a better job 968 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,120 Speaker 9: in scheming these players up to get open and not 969 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 9: just take the Garrett approach and beating the man in 970 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:23,879 Speaker 9: front of you. So I'm hoping that he will make 971 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,759 Speaker 9: some changes going down the lines, especially the team we 972 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,560 Speaker 9: just played in New Orleans. I think with all the 973 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:36,080 Speaker 9: motion and movement that they had allowed their quarterback to 974 00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,759 Speaker 9: be very effective in the passing game. 975 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:41,319 Speaker 16: So that's all I have to say. 976 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,200 Speaker 9: I'm focused and more on the offense and defense. Man 977 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:45,839 Speaker 9: have a great data all right, thank you. 978 00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,720 Speaker 1: You know, movement, movement on you know, before the snap, 979 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,960 Speaker 1: movement during the play, it's it's key. It's it's absolutely critical, 980 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,239 Speaker 1: you know. And and it's it's the smart coordinators can 981 00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,160 Speaker 1: do it and the smart players as well. I mean, 982 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:03,200 Speaker 1: Eli Manning is not one of the most elusive quarterbacks 983 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 1: of all time, but he didn't get sacked a lot, 984 00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:08,279 Speaker 1: you know, And that's the thing. Derek Carr not either. 985 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,279 Speaker 1: But the way they moved him in the pocket and 986 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,640 Speaker 1: strategically moved him away from Micah, I mean, it was 987 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,000 Speaker 1: a perfect setup, the perfect plan, and you got to 988 00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,080 Speaker 1: give them credit for the way that they did that. Now, 989 00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,680 Speaker 1: if you think Carr was on the move, this quarterback 990 00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 1: is going to be on the move in a lot 991 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 1: of different ways as well. And so what a nightmare 992 00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,840 Speaker 1: he is to try to stop. But you know he 993 00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,000 Speaker 1: has been stopped. I mean he had now he hasn't 994 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:33,759 Speaker 1: been stopped stopped. I mean, he's getting one hundred and 995 00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,880 Speaker 1: sixty seven rushing yards. The Cowboys as a team have 996 00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,480 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy, so you know, that goes to 997 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,640 Speaker 1: show they're not running the ball very well, and he's 998 00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,840 Speaker 1: running it a lot. But it might be a situation 999 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,919 Speaker 1: where teams are saying, let him have his he's gonna 1000 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,320 Speaker 1: run all wild, and then we get into the red zone, 1001 00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:52,799 Speaker 1: we'll tighten this thing up, make him make throws and 1002 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,080 Speaker 1: you know, have to kick field goals and try to 1003 00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,000 Speaker 1: win that way. That could be a strategy as well. 1004 00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:00,359 Speaker 1: So we'll see what the Cowboys do with him. Lamar 1005 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:04,120 Speaker 1: Jackson only the second time they've ever played him. They 1006 00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,319 Speaker 1: played him in twenty twenty in a Wednesday game that 1007 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,359 Speaker 1: I'm still kind of salty about. The NFL decided to 1008 00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:14,040 Speaker 1: move the game because they, you know, Lamar Jackson had COVID. 1009 00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,520 Speaker 1: I believe what went down. I mean, anybody else had 1010 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:18,160 Speaker 1: COVID and he got to play the game, but he 1011 00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:19,960 Speaker 1: had it. They had to move it to Wednesday. At 1012 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,680 Speaker 1: least that's kind of how I remembered it. But and 1013 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:24,120 Speaker 1: he was kind of a difference in the game. If 1014 00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,799 Speaker 1: you remember like he is most games. All right, We'll 1015 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:30,319 Speaker 1: continue to talk about Cowboys and Ravens on Friday when 1016 00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 1: we wrap up the week for Chris Beam, I'm Nick Eatman. 1017 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,360 Speaker 1: We will see you tomorrow on Cowboys storyline, See Them. 1018 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,440 Speaker 2: This has been a production of dallascowboys dot Com and 1019 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,560 Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
