It's pretty darn high, pretty dark on high. 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.360 It was a gift. The painting was a gift. Todd 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:08.160 shot I'm taking with me. Can't hide money right back there? 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.000 Being all honesty, man, we're just trying to keep up 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:15.440 with you. No, for the first time this year, can 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:17.280 can we can we drop this down somewhere for the 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.200 first time this year? Heckma has won the same watch 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:24.160 two days in a row. Whoa oh, I'm just saying, 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.880 have you seen it? Have we seen it? Double up? 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.280 I don't think so. I don't believe so either. He 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:33.280 I'm just walking into his household and it's just watching 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:38.240 watch Watch. So so what you're seeing right now. So 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.400 at the end of the day, what happens is before 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:42.240 I go to bed, I checked my steps and it's 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:46.240 always somewhere around the nine thousand, eight hundred. I'm doing 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.120 everything to get those ten thousand steps. So I'm not 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.720 switching watches. Dog. This thing is going to percolate at 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.440 some portant today and I want to be a part 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.440 of it. So you allow yourself to go to bed 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.920 two hundred steps short of your goal. See, I swear 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:08.000 to god it is wow. I would about motivation. Goodness. 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:12.600 I love that little bit. Walk to the corner, right 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.399 around the bit, get yeah, good around the streets, coming back. 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.359 All right, Well we've we're having some fun here on 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.120 talking cowboys. Treyvon dis has had some fun over the 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:24.600 last month, wouldn't you say? So? It was coming down 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:28.480 that he has been named the NFC Defensive Player of 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.880 the Month one of the big news lines coming out 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:33.880 today and it was like, yeah, there you go, a 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:37.720 little flos for Treyvon Diggs. Uh goodness. He has taken 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.680 the league by storm. I mean, we have talked about 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.400 it already on this this program, but Rob, I mean, 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.240 it's been a while since a NFC Defensive Player of 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.160 the Month has been employed by the Dallas Cowboys, but 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:52.200 Treyvon Digs very deserving. Absolutely. I mean, if you tie 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:56.320 your rookie total in interceptions in three games, you're doing 0:03:56.360 --> 0:04:00.840 something right. And the Cowboys are two when one in 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.960 large part because of that turnover deferential best in the league, 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:08.120 plus five league leading eight takeaways, and Trayvon Diggs has 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.440 been a huge part of that. So he's on We're 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.160 gonna talk about him later in the show, I believe. 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.560 But he's on the up swing, no doubt, and I'm 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:18.840 sure he wishes he could play against Jalen Hurts every week. 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.800 So especially the pick six that I mean, he's just 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.760 especially those quarterbacks that telegraph their throws. He's just too 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:29.159 good to do that too. And you talk about guys 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.400 that have taken the leap in their second year, he's 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:35.640 done that. And I'm just so impressed with the way 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.000 that he's playing, the way that he's breaking on balls. 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:42.760 I mean, and dan Quinn is getting a lot of praise, rightfully, 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.440 So from just recognizing the guys that he has and 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:50.360 and putting these guys in position to actually be successful. 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.000 And look for me as a as a as a 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.839 former defensive guy, I am used to a defense hunting 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.359 an offense. The NFL has changed so much now that 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:04.480 offenses are hunting the defense, and I love to see 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:08.640 that paradigm shift with our with our defense because they 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.479 are coming out the teams and I just can't wait 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.760 to see what the game plan is for the Panthers, 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:15.800 because I believe we go We're gonna come out. Though 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:19.040 I asked, I agree. I asked Jordan Lewis about Trayvon 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.000 yesterday and he said, well, he dropped seven interceptions last year, 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.440 so yeah, he should be doing this. I don't know 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.200 if he drops seven, but he didn't say that he did, 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.320 I mean, just like that rap, but like he did 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.160 say that in training camp, Like I got my hands 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.360 on a number of balls and did not come up 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:38.159 with them, and he is said thirteen. I think he 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.320 said he got his hands on thirteen balls in tray 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.120 or excuse me, last year as a rookie. But he 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.440 said this in training camp and he was like, that 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.880 means I should have thirteen more interceptions and everybody kind 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:48.920 of giggled and laughed at it. But it's like, oh, 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.680 every time he gets a pick, you think about that quote. Basically, 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.520 Jordan's point was he was in position to make plays 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:56.279 last year. He was a ball hawk last year. He 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.680 gave up some big plays, but he can This is 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.360 not necessarily knew. He just finished and plays. Yeah, he's 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:05.520 been very good. He's the first Defensive Player of the 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:09.760 Month award for the Cowboys since DeMarcus Lawrence in September 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.839 of twenty seventeen, and then before that it was linebacker 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:16.760 Shaun Lee October of twenty thirteen and September of twenty eleven. 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.640 Those the last three times the Cowboys have had the honor. 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.520 So if you're talking about company over the last decade 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:26.120 for the Dallas Cowboys, that's pretty good company to be in. Okay, 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.880 Carolina Panthers on the docket. Three and oh coming up 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:32.480 this Sunday afternoon, Matt ruling company in his second year 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:37.040 out in Carolina and they've had quite the turnaround so far. 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:41.120 Sam Darnold that quarterback. Today we're previewing the Cowboys defense 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:45.080 led by Trey Von Diggs against that Carolina offense that 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:50.120 has to deal with no Christian McCaffrey. So, Isaiah, what weapons, 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:54.839 what problems do or does the Carolina offense bring to 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:58.480 the table come Sunday. I don't think it's one particular person. 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.280 I'm when I at the Carolina Panthers, I look at 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:04.080 their approach holistically. Their their offense in the way in 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:09.160 which they attack is multifaceted. They'll they'll run at you, 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.840 they'll go twenty one personnel, they'll go twelve personnel, they'll 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:15.280 go thirteen personnel. Uh, they'll go eleven personnel, they'll empty 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.640 out the backfield, they mix it up. It really reminds 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.640 me of kind of killing Moore's approach to this season, 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:23.480 to be honest with you, minus the fact that we 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:27.320 actually use the Carolina uses a fullback. Um, so it's 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.720 really not one person that you have to be worried about. 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.440 And that's that's a good thing, but it's a bad 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.320 thing as well. Um. It's the same reason why teams 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.720 can't key on one particular guy when we're when we're 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.720 facing them offensively, Um, we can't key on one guy 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.520 for them. Obviously they're losing, they lost their their number 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:47.800 one guy, but that almost forces them to use everybody. Now, um, 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:51.080 you know, everybody used to key in on on Christian McCaffrey, 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.720 but now he's out temporarily. So now you got Hubbard 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:55.920 in the backfield. Now you got you know, their their 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.920 plethora of tight ends that they have. They have DJ Moore, 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:02.120 they got Anderson, you know that you can't sleep on. 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.640 So they got some dudes, man, they got some dudes. 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:09.480 And you know, I think that we need to approach 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.520 this and say, hey, our guys versus your guy's head up. 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.720 We're not trying to take out one particular guy or 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:16.640 one particular facet of what you do. We just have 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:18.720 to be prepared, be prepared for everything because they're gonna 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:22.880 throw everything at us. I love when we have these 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.800 conversations off camera and you kind of feed me with 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:30.520 some information. Yesterday you said that about Joe Brady's offense 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.880 and Kelly Moore's being similar, and I couldn't wait to 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:37.320 get home to look at the tape. Damn, yeah, it is. 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:39.760 It is very similar. And it's that college style and 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.880 people that don't recognize the name. The offensive coordinator for 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.480 the Panthers was also the offensive coordinator for LSU, and 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.160 during their national championship run, and do you talk about 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:55.760 that offense when it's clicking, It is unstoppable. And I 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:57.520 just think the things that they do with their tight 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.640 ends are also very interesting and we're gonna have and 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.600 we had a question yesterday from a caller that asked 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:05.520 us about covering the tight ends and there's going to 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.120 be a challenge in this game to get those tight 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.160 ends cover. But I'm again my whole thing is, guys, 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.960 what do the Panthers do without Christian McCaffrey. And I know, 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.360 for us, if we were facing the team where we're 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.160 looking at taping, we're keying in on this guy. Who 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:21.600 else are they going to have? I don't know if 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:25.960 Hubbard can replaces as a back. You know what McCaffrey does. 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.160 But you're absolutely right when you talk about the wide 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.160 receivers and especially Robbie Anderson and his ability to take 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.400 the top off of a defense. How are we going 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:37.079 to approach that. I'm looking at Sam Donald first, and 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.040 it's only three games in, but he looks like he's 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:43.679 having a renaissance. He needed to get out of New York, 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.280 he needed to get away from the Jets situation. Robbie 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.480 Anderson did last year and had a career season ninety 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:52.240 three catches, and it's you know, we're looking at what 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:55.080 Matt Stafford's doing in LA and to maybe a little 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.320 bit of a smaller scale, it's what Sam Donold's doing 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:00.920 in Carolina. Get out of a losing situation, get your 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:04.319 confidence back, you know, and be around some better personnel. 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.880 And it's reflected in the stats his yards per attempt 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:11.640 or up, his yards per completion or up. He's only 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.480 got one interception so far, and that's one of the 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:16.480 best things they do is they don't turn the ball over. 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.520 So I just see, you know, they've got a number 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.760 one overall draft pick at quarterback who's playing the best 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.600 ball of his career, with an offensive coordinator who can 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:29.080 really do some good things schematically, and it's shown up 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:30.400 in the first game even though they don't have their 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.760 best player this week. Sam Darnold is only twenty four 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:37.000 years old. Do you believe that he's a number one 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.959 overall pick and he's twenty four. I mean, you talk 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.000 about a renaissance. I mean, he's been in the league 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.600 for four years. But yeah, it's it's it feels like 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.200 ten in New York with the struggles that they had exactly, 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.000 so he could be a very formidable quarterback by the 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:53.720 time he is really getting going in Carolina, and maybe 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:55.840 he already is getting going, and that's why they've they've 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:59.000 looked so strong. But kind of to go along with 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:02.320 what you guys said Matt Rule said yesterday, Obviously you 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:06.440 can't replace the production of Christian McCaffrey, but those other players, 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.600 they've been waiting for their opportunity. Who knows what they 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.280 can do when given that opportunity, and he don't. He 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:14.720 doesn't think it's fair to Sam Darnold and to the 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.319 offensive line to go away from what they've been doing. 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.960 We've been working on it for a long time. So 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:22.920 that to me tells me that they're gonna stick with 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.200 a lot of the same deal and trying to run 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.840 Chubba Hubbard, the rookie out of Oklahoma State, just as 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:32.480 much as they would try and utilize a Christian McCaffrey. 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.640 Now huge step down not Christian McCaffrey, but they have 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:37.360 a similar skill set if you look at what they 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.400 can do. Well. Yeah, so this is the thing. So 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.120 everybody looks like Christian McCaffrey and thinks that he's just 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.079 the God's end and he's a freaking amazing He's freaking 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.600 amazing's no mistake about it. But let's not act as 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:53.360 if this offense was unproductive when he's not on the field. 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.360 That's not the case. It's not like you throw a 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:58.439 swing route that would have gotten minus one yards and 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.640 all of a sudden, McAffrey turns it into hand. It's like, no, 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:02.600 this is this is a player that we probably would 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.360 have got six yards and McCaffrey turns into ten or twelve. Right, 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.360 But she's chains are still moving, right. McCaffrey has the 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.679 big playability. He has ability to break tackles, he has 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.480 ability to to squire squiggle out of a couple of things. 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:17.720 But offensively, they're still productive. So I don't want people 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.640 to be fooled and think, oh mcaffy's gone. I means, yeah, 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.280 we're about we're about run off and get on their head. No, no, no, 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.840 you still have to stop the offense. You just don't 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:26.640 have to worry about the running back now all of 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.360 a sudden making some miraculous plays that we've seen on 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.120 highlight rails, you know, friend for him from the past years. Yeah, 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:36.120 I think for me seeing Hubbard because we live here 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.640 in Texas Big twelve that's all we see. So Oklahoma 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:42.080 State is always on the twobe and you've seen him. Man, 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.280 he's a tough inside runner guy that has good hands. 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:47.520 But you're right now, this no McCaffrey is just his 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.000 DNA is completely different from a lot of running backs 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:51.320 in this league. But I want to go back to 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:55.559 something that you said about Sam Donald and the renaissance 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:59.559 of his career being in Carolina. The look they've played 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.400 the Jet they played the Texans, and they played a 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.440 divisional game against the Saints that have hadn't been home 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:08.120 in a month, right and missing five of their assistant 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.000 coaches in the time that they played. I'm not trying 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.840 to downplay it. It's certainly is what I'm saying. And 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.079 I think Sam Donald still has some of those tendencies 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:16.959 that we've seen. Man. He you know, when you get 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.040 pressure on him, he starts to do the macareina and 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.080 burp the baby, you know, and and next thing you know, 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:25.160 he's he'll turn it over. And I think the defense 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.240 that we have, we have the kind of hunters up 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.839 front that we can get after him, you know, immediately, 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:33.559 and so that's the number one thing that I want 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:37.080 to see dan Quinn established, is pressure on Sam Donald. 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.360 You believe that or no, I totally I agree with 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.680 you there, although just watching him in some of these 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.840 games so far, he will step up in the pocket 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.240 and make a throw and rip it down the field 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:51.960 and just he looks like it's just a more confident quarterback. Now, 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:55.679 you're right, it's it's early and Cowboys have shown they 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.080 can get some pressure, so it'll be interesting. But I 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.840 do agree. I think they've got Hubbard looks good. I 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:03.880 mean when he came in the second half, he averaged 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.319 five yards of carry, had three catches at for twenty seven. 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.640 That's kind of, you know, help supplement some of what 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.240 McCaffrey does out of the backfield. So they can still 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:14.400 their productive. Yeah, they can still spread it around. But 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:21.480 three weeks in you're right, But but I think I 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.480 do think they're using that as a little bit of 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.360 a chip too, because I think rule A dressed that, like, yeah, 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.840 the fact that they haven't played anybody yet, Well, they're 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.880 about to play somebody. They have two chips. As office 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:34.800 a coordinator, you're coming too this game with two chips 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.480 on your shoulder. You come in with a chip on 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.520 your shoulder that you're not you can't do anything without 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:40.920 your number one player, So you take that on as 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:42.880 office a coordinators like, oh, okay, you know I'm about 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.320 I'm about to killing mord and getting my bag to 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.440 show that we got some other dogs around here. So 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:48.840 that's why I say this. It's a good thing that 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:50.960 he's gone for against us, but it's also a bad 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:52.760 thing because now you're going to see some stuff that 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.040 you probably wouldn't have seen that the office of coordinator 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:56.760 is going to go. Okay, let me Plus you don't 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.160 really know what's coming either. Take this out since you 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:00.920 know y'all think we can do nothing, all right, I 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.920 just would be about to do, you know. And and 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:07.160 then you have the aspect of, um uh what I 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:08.800 was gonna say, Oh yeah, as far as what you 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:10.680 just mentioned, as far as that they haven't played anybody, 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.000 I was like, okay, So so y'all think we can't play, 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.320 and y'all think that we that we can't do anything 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:18.360 without McCaffrey. All right, I got something for you. I 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.440 guess any competitor is gonna take that approach. Any competitor, 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.680 any true competitor's gonna take that approach. All right, you're 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.040 trying to play me sideways. Okay, I got something for you. 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.920 Let you know, come on, come on, you already know. 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.040 Let you already know. Somebody say you that you can't 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:34.320 ball no oh yeah, but I understand that. And the 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:36.880 thing is, I guess the whole point for me is 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.720 if the Cowboys are three and tho, we play a 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.640 rookie to two rookie quarterbacks the first time starters, and 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.560 you know one to say, it wouldn't be oh, these 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:50.520 guys are undefeated, yalla. You would start looking at who 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:55.360 they played like a box. And I'm not calling these 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:58.160 teams tomato Tomato casts because the parody in the NFL 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:00.320 is real. And that's why when you say, y'all, I 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.800 was supposed to hint that, it's hey, it's like it's 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.000 like I say that, it's like the ball Brothers in boxing. 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.280 I get it, all right, yeah, you you you match 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.160 them up and you give them credit based upon who 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.760 they who they face. But at the same time, people, 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:13.840 I just want people to acknowledge the fact that this 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:15.480 is a good ball toon. This is a good ball club, 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.120 It's a good ball club, and they have players, they 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.960 have some dudes, and just because their schedule, it's no 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:23.600 different than like Boise State. Back in the day, people 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:25.280 used to try to write off Boysey State because of 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.440 the conference they're in. But and say that, all you know, 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:29.400 these boys can't play, they haven't played anybody. And then 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:30.880 they go and they play somebody and then they whoop 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:32.600 on their head. You know what happened. They'll storm to 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.680 feel and tear your goal posts out exactly, and that's 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:38.080 and that's what and I agree with you. And the 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:41.160 thing that makes me nervous about the matchup, literally is 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:44.160 the fact that just the record of teams playing on 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.080 Monday night playing teams that played previously in the Thursday night, 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:48.720 and I think the record is twenty one and twenty 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:50.800 five or something like that. And I won't call this 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:52.560 a trap game because they're three and oh, so you 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.000 can't call it a trap game. But I will say, 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:56.920 but I will say that you're right. You know, this 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.520 is one of those situations where, because of the short 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.400 schedule to play on Sunday, we have to come prepared 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.399 and be ready for whatever they do at twelve o'clock. 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:07.600 One of the biggest reasons there's a buzz around this 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:10.040 Cowboys team is because of the teams that they've beaten. 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.439 I mean, maybe not the Eagles, but of course the 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:14.639 Chargers and what they were able to do against the Chiefs. 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.640 The Panthers don't have that yet because of like you said, 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:21.040 maybe their biggest win was the blowout win over New Orleans, 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:22.840 and New Orleans is still trying to find their footing 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.760 under Jamis Winston at the same time. But to your 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:30.240 point of production, after Christian McCaffrey, the Panthers against the 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:33.240 Texans on Thursday night scored seventeen of their twenty four 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:35.719 points without Christian McCaffrey in the backfield. They only had 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:38.000 a touchdown going in a halftime and they came out 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:41.600 with seventeen after that. But man, you've gotten me excited, 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.800 you guys just talking about this, thinking about the duel 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:49.239 of the offensive coordinators. Man, two young offensive coordinators up 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:52.199 and comers, geniuses if you wanted to call it that. 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:56.880 At modern day offensive minds, Joe Brady and Calamore, that's 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.000 gonna be a lot of fun, yea. And people forget 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:01.879 that that's the competition, and two people forget that coaches 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:05.400 heck yeah. People always think about because you watch the players, right, 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.120 You watch the players, and we bring up Kelly Moore, 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:09.480 we bring up you Dan Quinn, right, But people think 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:12.600 about them as individuals. They don't think of them as competitors. 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.400 These coaches are competitive is all get out. You guys 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:17.600 can remember these are These are ex players that go 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:19.280 up there and all of a sudden they're in their bag, 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:21.320 drawing up stuff, trying to figure out what they can 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:23.960 do to gain an advantage over their opponent because they're 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:25.920 having a battle. They're in a booth, you know what 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:28.119 I'm saying, looking a couple of booths down. There's a 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:29.800 guy that's that's over there trying to go against what 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.919 they're doing, and it's head to head. It's head to head. Now. 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:35.760 Their players are executing what they're putting out there, right. 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:38.960 But when you're playing Madden, guess what RAPI If you 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:40.560 go out there and you pick cover two, I'm about 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:42.439 to eat it up, right, I'm gonna eat it up. 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:45.200 And guess what if and if and if I eat 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:46.720 it up, guess what you're gonna do. You're gonna change 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:48.679 it up. You're gonna come to something MC nasty right now. 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:50.679 You're gonna pick the play that you think gains you 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:53.080 an advantage, but you're expecting your players to carry it out. 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:55.080 I like that a lot. There's a battle going on 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:57.560 within the battle back and Forth and the Cowboys. You're 0:18:57.560 --> 0:18:59.840 gonna have a battle on Sunday when we come back 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.320 here on Talking Cowboys. Let's play a game of this 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:04.679 or excuse me? Take it or leave it is what 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:06.320 I'm calling it, Take it or leave it.
