So I looked at the 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.480 weather thing for next week. It looks like we might 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.520 be dropping down into the forties after some rain. And 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:15.480 it gets me excited because you know what also comes 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:19.240 with that gumbo gumbo, you know what I'm saying. So 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.360 I gotta I gotta go. I got some root ready, 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.000 So yeah, I'm doing good though you know you're not 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:32.880 talking about look like it's a vegetable gumbo, okay, obeying, 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:35.880 Just let me let. 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.079 Me imagine that it's a crab leg and there. 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:40.760 Well it's cold, man, this is you know, this is 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.120 the hardest time of the year for me because you 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.600 think about all the things I grew up traditionally eating. 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.040 Don't they don't have nothing for me, man, they don't 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:49.920 have nothing for me. I'm the guy to show up 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.079 with his own dishes. Stay out of that aisle in 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:54.880 the grocery store where it is the chicken but the 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:59.120 c H I C k apostrophe. N don't bring that 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.720 to the cookout now, don't nobody. Don't nobody. Won't my 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:08.519 impossible burder. We don't want impossible. It's impossible for exactly exactly. Well, 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.040 you know what, as you bring all of that up man, 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:14.600 the holiday season, man, and all the food that's gonna 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.840 be cooked, it's gonna be some stuff that's missing some ingredients. 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.560 And we need to talk about the ingredients of this. 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.480 Dallas Cowboys football team. Man, this is a lot of 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.040 things approaching, man, But this is a very important game. 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.919 As we talked about yesterday, another NFC would you come 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:31.840 to the NFC West Invitational? 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.120 This is another team from the NFC. 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.240 West that we have to This is we gotta get 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.160 this one, you know, and every week you gotta get it. 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:43.760 But when you look at this Cowboys offense versus the 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.400 Rams defense, what are some of the challenges matchups wise? 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.920 What are you looking for in this game so far 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.280 on tape from the offense? Man, The unfortunate part about 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:58.000 it is because well, since our our wide receiver group 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:01.360 has not been as effective as we at hope, then 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.600 I'm not sure if you can just give the tilt 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:06.920 to us just because of the talent that we have 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.880 or think that we have against any defense at this point, 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.880 because we haven't really done much against any of the 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.520 defenses that we played to where you've seen a game 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.320 where we had three one hundred yard receivers or two 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:20.960 of them with one hundred and the other one with 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.880 some big time catches. We haven't seen that happen. So 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:27.080 when I'm starting to look at how do our teams 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.240 go up against or compare against other squads in the league. 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:33.760 When I look at our receiver group, it's hard for 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.440 me to put them above any other secondary just because 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.560 we haven't really seen that type of production. S Yeah, 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:41.560 CD LAMB every other game or so. You may see 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:43.360 them with a hundred yards, but as far as like, 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.440 hey man, that's the dominant force, we haven't seen that yet. 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.919 So when I'm looking at the Rams, I'm like, yeah. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.320 Their secondary doesn't look how it used to look, especially 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.200 when they went to the Super Bowl. But our receiver 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.880 corps hasn't produced to make them fear us either, So 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.120 they're looking at us saying, all right, well they put 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:01.720 them on the numbers, look at the stats, guys, all right, 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.120 this should be a group that we should be able 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.040 to be productive against. So when you're looking at the 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:07.960 Rams defense, to me, I think that's kind of a 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.240 toss up. Aaron Donald is the guy, like the difference 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.640 maker on the squad, especially with our offensive line who 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.800 hasn't really played together much this season. Like that, like, 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.080 where they gonna put Aaron Donald, How effective is he 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.360 going to be? Can you stop them? If you stop them, 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.440 then you have a chance. If you don't, we know 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.320 that he can wreak the game. But let's say let's 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.120 stay right there with the wide receiver group, all right, 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.359 because this is a group that when coming into the 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:34.840 season the pickup of Brandon Cooks, you were excited about 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:35.400 that pickup. 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:36.880 You thought that that would be the difference. 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.760 You look now over on the other side for the Rams, 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:45.599 their secondary is Derrian Kendricks, Jordan Fuller, Rush Yeast, and 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:46.600 Kobe Durant. 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.200 I know, I know, and I get what you're saying. 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:51.240 I get what you're saying. 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.359 It's not that they are juggernauts by any means, but 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:56.840 you're looking at yourself and you being realistic with yourself, 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:58.400 Like when I look at us, I don't see those 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.200 jugger knots because we haven't produced to this point. But 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.719 when you come up against a group like this, do 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.280 you say to yourself, okay, wide receivers, this is it 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.560 if you can't get it right here, because they don't 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:10.880 have no names out here that you would get necessarily 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.240 even be intimidated by. I mean you usually would, right, 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:16.120 but you will say that when you go play against Arizona. True, 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:17.680 Like you when you go out west and you play 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:19.440 against Arizona, you say, hey, man, this one of them 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.120 stats games. Okay, we need to make sure that we 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.719 get our stats up, and then for some reason it doesn't, 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:25.960 it doesn't show up on the sheet at the end 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:27.920 of the game. So yeah, when I'm going into the game, 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:29.480 I'm saying, yeah, we should be able to eat against them, 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.280 because I do still have faith in Brandon Cooks because 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.000 of what I've seen with him. What time proven consists 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.800 that I've seen that from him, so I know he 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:39.479 still has it in them. And then based off what 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:43.000 happened last game where Dak was being creative and elusive 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:45.760 and making sure he extended plays, I think that is 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.159 what helps out a guy like Brandon Cooks because the 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:50.880 scramble drill is real, especially when you got speed and 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.400 a vet who knows where these guys are going to 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.320 be at and where they're going. So I think if 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.360 Dak continues to play like he did in the last game. 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.680 Before the bye week against the Charges and Helen Moore and. 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.719 Those guys play, continues to take shots down the field, 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:06.560 then yes, this is a group where you say, Okay, 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.880 our receiver should go out here and they should be 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.360 excited about what they see with the Rams. But we 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.400 just haven't seen it, so I'm not gonna let myself. 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.320 I'm not gonna let myself feel that way and come 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.600 on until I said I'm not, I'm not. 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:20.400 My hope, my hopium is in. 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.040 It's in Brandon Cooks that that that you go into 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.680 the bye weekend, you say, hold on, wait before the 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:29.040 Chargers game, the man had five games seventy two yards, like, 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.720 what what are we doing and what do we need 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:33.680 to do to get him more involved in the game, 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.480 because the turn on the film before he gets here 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.320 and you see that he can be productive, especially if 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.120 you put him in the right situation. So hopefully during 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:43.920 this bye week they said, hey, man, we got that's 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.240 the guy like that on our offense. Okay, we got 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:47.800 ce d Lamb. We know we can get him there, 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:49.880 but that's the guy that we that's gonna be our 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:50.440 X factor. 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.080 If we can get him going, then our whole offense 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:53.800 is then Roland. 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:55.400 So here's another point that I want to bring up 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.000 about this this game coming up versus the Rams, because 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.000 I think you can go back and just only really 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.040 late to what we see on the film. Go back 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:06.120 to last week the Pittsburgh Steelers on offense Kenny Pickett, 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.720 second year quarterback. It didn't have any touchdowns, but he 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.040 did have he was he was seventeen for twenty five 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.320 two hundred and thirty yards, no interceptions, no tds. 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:17.480 But you look at what their receiving group did. 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:22.760 George Pickens, very talented wide receiver, second year, five catches 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:24.840 one hundred and seven yards. So I think if you're 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:28.560 Ceedee Lamb, you're like five catches one oh seven. Those 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.560 are numbers that I can put up. Deontate Johnson also 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:35.360 did have five catches for seventy nine yards. Okay, so 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.040 and that's probably somebody on your family. I actually got it. 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:40.880 He was on my r and that I had to 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:44.560 release something that I see it. And so five catches 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:48.160 seventy five yards for Dante Johnson. And this is a 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.199 wide receiver where you're saying for a guy like Brandon Cooks, 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:54.280 if you get that same kind of production, then that 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.360 definitely has to have you excited about getting a w 0:08:57.520 --> 0:08:58.960 at home versus Los Angeles. 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:00.520 Yeah, I mean, does. 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.199 I think the thing with that that Pittsburgh still his 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:04.680 team is at the end of the game, they just 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.400 come alive, right and like all of a sudden, like 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.400 the first few the first few quarters, Najie Harris isn't 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.480 doing much and the receivers aren't doing much, and then 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.320 all of a sudden, you know, they kind of show up. 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.720 So it's a little tricky with them. And then also 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.400 when you look at those two receivers, I think comparable 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:21.559 to the talent that we have here when you look 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:25.000 at look at those two just specifically Deonsay Johnson was 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.200 coming off of injury on O R. And you knew 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:29.120 that they were missing that piece. But I think that 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.000 is that is the most important part about it, right 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.880 to say, Okay, that's why you need two of them. 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.080 That's why Brandon Cooks then has to be the X 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.360 factor because I think that opened it up for everybody 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.400 else and then allowed them to then get those exposed plays. 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.040 But if you only have one guy, then you like 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.840 you find yourself, you know, running up into a wall 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.319 with Tony Paul and then getting double teams out there 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.240 with Ceedee Lamb. Well, this is the other part that 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:53.760 you were bringing it up, but I cut you off 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.880 because I wanted to finish the wide receiver group. But 0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.440 when you look at the offensive line, let's go up 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:03.320 to Dallascown Boys offensive line. We finally got Tyron Smith 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:09.240 back healthy. Tyler Smith is healthy, Tyler Battish, Jack Martin, 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.960 the Iron Man, and Terrence Steele, all of these guys 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:18.080 playing together finally at home, and Aaron Donald comes to town. 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:20.959 We know that Aaron Donald is a matchup nightmare. I 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.640 don't care how old he is whatever, He's still one 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:27.440 of the best in the business. But other than that, 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.480 other than that, I'm just saying, like, this is a 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.600 Los Angeles Rams defense that is kind of middle of 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.480 the pack. I think they're like thirteen to fourteenth in 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.800 the league right now, so not even considered to be 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:43.280 one of your elite defenses. But then you talked yesterday 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:47.040 about this running game having to get Tony Pollard. 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:48.720 Has to get his touches, he has to get his Carris. 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:52.520 He had a big game in twenty twenty two versus 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.400 the Rams, but that was also with z Yeah, that 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.760 was also with Zeke. Okay, come on, that was also Withy, 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.960 so we got to keep that real. But then you 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:06.440 have Aaron Donald that also had two sacks in that game. 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.560 So offensively, when you look at your front line and 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.199 what you have need to do coming off of a 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.320 bye week and you have number ninety nine in front 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.880 of you. What is your matchup nightmare in this situation 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:19.520 or what are you saying, Look, we have to win 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.280 this particular battle to make sure that we get. 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:22.920 This running game going. 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:26.360 Listen, I see Aaron Donald lining up on the right 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:30.480 defensive side of the ball often, which is our left offense. 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:34.400 So over Tyler, Tyler, and then okay is who I'm Okay, 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:36.360 that's where I'm going to see him lining up at 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.760 And that's that's where you got to make some noise. 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.320 Some of the double teams you might have to trap them, 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.040 but you got to figure out a way to disrupt 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.040 him and make sure he doesn't wreck your game. I 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.959 think the tricky thing about our offensive line is is also, Okay, 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:53.120 they haven't played together much, right, these five, right, but 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:54.760 you looking at it and you saying, Okay, we got 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:59.079 our best five offensive linemen together playing coming off of 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:02.200 bye week. Help, everything should be good. But some of 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.440 our best games so far this season was when they 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:08.599 weren't playing together exactly so so Tomy Dogu was in 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:11.760 so the same thing of when last year when we 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:14.400 were talking about Mike McCarthy, like now it's your turn 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.240 to call play, So then it's all on you. We'll 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.920 figure out how good you are calling places. Same thing 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.840 with the offensive line. We've been saying how good we 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:25.160 believe we can be with our full offensive line together 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.920 and healthy. Now we'll get to see that because the 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:29.760 truth of the matter is, we have no idea. 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:31.839 No, we don't know. We don't know if we. 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.320 Have one of the top offensive lines in the league 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.400 went healthy or if they just middle of the pack 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.200 and we just been waiting for you know, whatever it 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.640 is that comes out there, right. But I know early 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:44.040 in the season Tony POLLAWOODI in fifty nine yards or 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.640 fifty two yards, he was like we were moving the ball, 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.719 and somehow once we got healthy, it seemed like that 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:51.880 kind of has gone away. So we'll get to see it. 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.160 But that's where the challenge is for me, Danny, like, 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:57.880 that's up front. They have to take this particular matchup 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:01.200 personal because Aaron Donald is gonna line up over Tyler 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:02.920 Smith and that's where he had those two sacks. It 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.600 was on Tyler at the end and the other left 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.679 tackle that and I think he was the other guy 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:12.280 that Peters. I think Peters at the time. But yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.240 But then you also have to remember that Cooper Rush 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.600 was a quarterback for that game. And it's kind of 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:21.200 eerie the way that this Rams game sets up. It 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:24.040 sets up the same way that did it did last season. 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:28.040 If you remember, we went it to Sofi Stadium, played 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:29.760 the Rams, and who did we have next week? 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:34.439 Philly? It's I mean today Jafu all over. 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:39.680 Again caught fourteen minutes into okay, fourteen minutes into little 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.800 before he mentioned the Philadelphia Eagles. I'm just I'm just 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.559 trying to get you into the mind of the locker 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.400 room and everybody just saying that, hey, we played the 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.040 Rams last year this time and then we went right 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:52.920 over to Philly. But the point that I'm making though, 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.320 is too that Dak Prescott didn't play in that game 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.880 last year versus the Rams. That was Cooper Rush with 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.720 that victory last season, I think twenty two ten something 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:02.040 like that was the victory. 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:04.800 But either way you pull that, you pull it out. 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.920 It was a defensive battle and you get you get 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:09.120 the running game going. 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:10.720 This is that part in the game for me. 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.280 I think it's pivotal if you don't get the running 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:16.280 game going. That's what's gonna make everything that much harder. 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:21.000 And it is, and it is. I just I don't 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:24.360 feel as comfortable with the running game as I did 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.760 prior to the season. And I think, you know, everybody 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.320 want to Zeke the Zeke that I don't think it's 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:33.120 specifically Zeke, but I think it is specifically having that 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:36.000 one two punch and being able to have a guy 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.320 who on third and short will make sure he gets 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.040 those tough yards beat up the defense. So then when 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.400 Tony Parler comes in, they're a little bit slower, or 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:45.240 they're a little bit more confused, they thinking a little 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.400 bit more than those explosive plays happened. But I think 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:50.840 without Zeke being here, we haven't been able to see that. 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.880 That's why to me, the more onus is the second 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:55.960 part of our running game is Dak Prescott. So the 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:59.120 power component to your running the power component is any 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:02.600 other component deposit of what Tony Pollard specializes in. Right, Like, 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:05.480 does the defense have anything else to think about except 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.720 what are the best schemes that Tony Poler runs the 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:12.200 ball in? But now, but now, if you add a 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.720 guy like Dak Prescott in who gives gives you that 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.720 extra dimension of saying, Okay, well maybe he may run 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.320 the ball. I think that is probably your next part 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:21.920 of your running game, because it's not gonna be Zeke. 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.080 I don't think we have one of those thumpers like 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.920 Ezekiel Elliott here on our prontid Like I said, I 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:32.560 don't think we have one of those. No, and that's 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:34.720 no shot at him, Like, let's be real about it. 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.400 Zeke was a He was a difference maker. He was 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:39.880 a different type of runner when he came to punishing 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.560 offensive line offense, defensive linemen and linebackers to where they 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:45.760 started to fill it in the third quarter, like I 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:47.000 don't want to tackle this dude, no. 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:48.680 More, right, Like we don't have that. 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.720 But when you want your running game to be a 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:55.120 little bit more dynamic and not just one dimension of 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.200 like just handed it to Tony Pollard, you know, in 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:00.200 between the tackles, Dak Prescott's your gout. Give me a number. 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.040 Give me a number. At the end of the night. 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.440 If you're looking at this number of the Cowboys win 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:10.560 the game rushing rushing yards one one fifty, one fifty. 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:14.080 You haven't had one fifty based off based off of 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:20.200 our passing Okay, wow, in the previous games besides the 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.320 last one which we only scored twenty points. Yeah, but yeah, 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.960 based on based on that, Yeah, listen, we want to 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.840 come out of the Bay Week re establishing what Mike 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:31.920 McCarthy said this offense was going to be. We are 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:35.440 going to run the ball and play defense, all right, 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:36.360 coming out of the Bay. 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.239 Week, that should be reinforced. 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.120 So I'm looking at one hundred and fifty yards and 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.920 that's that is with Dak Prescott running a little bit more. 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.720 That is also with Tony Pollard running the ball as well. Okay, 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.080 so numbers wise, give me, give me a number. TP 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.920 gotta have what I'm giving the four yards to carry 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:55.440 probably eighteen carries around around one hundred around un around. 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:57.800 Let's go one on five for TP. The EO one 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:00.280 O five TP. Dak is say about we think got 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:03.640 about thirty five thirty six someone. So you said Dak running, Yeah, 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:07.160 it's running that you bring it back the whole schools. 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:08.399 Think about a quarterback position. 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:13.080 So third and twelve, right, somebody runs cover one, everybody 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:15.160 turned their back, that takes off. 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:16.640 That's an easy twelve, right. 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.160 But but it happens every game when you have those 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:21.960 mobile quarterbacks of like they getting them in chunks. It's 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:25.160 not necessarily that getting five yards per care he should 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:27.560 he should be making a difference with his legs. So 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.159 now defensive coordinators have to call something different when now 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:32.200 we got a spy on Oh, now we can't run 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:33.920 a certain defense because if he breaks out the pocket, 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.320 we're in trouble. Like that is that is the dimension 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:38.480 that we need Dak to add to this offense. 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.600 Man, I'm look, I'm hoping for that. I want that. 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:44.600 We just haven't seen that, and that's what we've been 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.639 begging for. That's what you've been begging for. That's what 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:49.000 you've been talking about weekend and week out. Dak run 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:51.000 the ball. I think we first we saw that last 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.840 week on the RPO that he took in for a touchdown, 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:55.960 longest touchdown of his career that we've seen. 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:58.080 So, man, if that's the DAC that can. 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:01.120 Emerge to get the Cowboys running game going up, man 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:04.000 one fifty, im with that. But I'll tell you what, 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:06.000 We're gonna take a break, take our first break, and 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:09.480 when we come back, we're gonna talk about what Jerry said. 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:12.679 Jerry saying a lot man Jerry got a lot going on. 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:16.680 In this weekly radio interview on one O five three, 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.800 we'll talk about that and we talk about what Micah 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:24.000 is talking about coming up next Here on the Players Lounge. 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:28.280 I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, and they snapped. 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.159 The press scout who looks right, it's not there.

Ric 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:25.800 o'donald uh four carrias for twenty one and then you know, 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:28.680 nine and nine, so it's possible. But but then ceede 0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:30.840 lamb had like one you catch for nine yards, so 0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:32.840 you got if you could put them both together. Heck, 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:35.920 but one fifty is not outlandish. I'm just hey, man, 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:37.639 you went out on the limb. I just wanted to know. 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:41.280 I got right, got on fire, we lost, we got one. 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:42.359 I want to know. 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:44.520 I'm like, hey man, come on, man, we wish it 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:46.399 on the start to say I know I'll be with 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:49.080 the hopium. But that just killed me though, because I'm like, 0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:51.040 if we leave with one fifty, we won. We went 0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:53.639 out there and got smoked by Arizona and got one 0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:56.600 hundred and eighty five yards rush. Your best output, your 0:21:56.640 --> 0:22:00.960 best output. You did absolutely nothing back in. Actually here 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:04.800 on the players lounges, myself and Danny McCrae is the 0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:07.720 player in the building. BC is on the World Tour 0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:10.719 right now. You know, kissing babies and shaking hands. 0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:13.680 You know this is my man. You know that's he do. 0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:14.600 That's what he knew. 0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:18.160 It didn't go pass by the golf course on his 0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:20.639 way on his way to the crib and knew he 0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:24.320 is handling all things World Series right now. So it's 0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:26.520 just me and my man d mac. We're gonna handle it. 0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:28.680 It took me fourteen minutes, though, and I think you 0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:30.640 should be proud of me, because the over under would 0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:33.680 have been somewhere around five to ten minutes. I would 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:35.720 have said something by Philly, but I didn't do it. 0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:36.320 For ten and a half. 0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:43.240 I was right, man. You know I could wait, and 0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:45.119 you know I can't wait. I don't even know why you're. 0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:47.240 Playing with me. So so whe are we going with this? 0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:47.439 Man? 0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:49.040 All right? Where we're going with this? All right? 0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:52.800 So Jerry Jones Jerry Jones was on one of five 0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:54.760 to one of five to three the Fan for his 0:22:54.880 --> 0:23:00.320 weekly radio show where he was talking about the deadline, 0:23:00.920 --> 0:23:04.080 and everybody's found it quite interesting. But you, as a 0:23:04.119 --> 0:23:07.120 formal player, I want to know what you think about this, 0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:11.280 And basically he said, it'll have to come our way. 0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:14.800 The initiation of an opportunity to make a trade at 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:19.280 this time that would help us principally has to start 0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:20.359 on the other. 0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:22.920 End, meaning another team. 0:23:22.760 --> 0:23:25.400 Is going to have to contact him and say, hey, 0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:27.800 I think I have a wide receiver that can make 0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:28.920 you a Super Bowl contender. 0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:30.359 You want him? Listen. 0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:35.080 I respect what Jerry said. That situation, okay, because as 0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:37.359 we talked about yesterday. If I'm looking at our roster, 0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:41.600 the two positions that I would try to upgrade if 0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:45.280 I had the opportunity to, would be deeping some lines yesterday. 0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:47.640 As you're going around looking at. 0:23:47.560 --> 0:23:49.840 The lead, does Jerry and them see anybody where it's like, Okay, 0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:51.639 we really want to go out on a limb and 0:23:51.640 --> 0:23:54.520 start offering up pieces for a guy like do we 0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:57.080 feel like we're that bad at the position that was 0:23:57.119 --> 0:23:59.439 the ideal world if we have to upgrade? 0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:01.480 Do I trust on our defensive line? Yeah? 0:24:01.520 --> 0:24:03.280 I think that we have a good enough defensive line 0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:04.560 to get us to where we want to go. 0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:06.600 Could it be better? Absolutely? 0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:09.239 But I'm definitely like Jerry, I ain't going out there 0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:11.840 and asking a whole bunch of folks, Hey man, hey, 0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:13.600 we look for something, what you got for me? 0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:15.040 I'm not gonna do that. 0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:18.120 But I will as he said, he will entertain, He'll entertain, 0:24:18.920 --> 0:24:21.160 He'll entertain. But that lets you know how confident Jerry 0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:24.560 is in his current squad. All right, I'm not talking. Okay, 0:24:24.680 --> 0:24:28.320 so you you know, but you good? 0:24:28.960 --> 0:24:30.000 You see what he just did? 0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:32.960 You know, because you know what I know, Danny, you 0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:35.640 don't feel like that because you watch too much football 0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:38.560 and you're looking at the he also said he also 0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:43.800 said that, and I'm paraphrasing, basically, he wouldn't put himself 0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:49.399 in the Philadelphia Eagles or San Francisco forty nine or conversation. 0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:52.240 But he's like, we are in the top echelon. Yeah, 0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:55.760 that's what happened when you get by San Francisco like that. Okay, Now, 0:24:56.200 --> 0:24:59.320 is that an admission that we are not on the 0:24:59.400 --> 0:25:02.840 same cali as a feeling, I mean, because one way 0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:04.800 or another, you're gonna end you're gonna have to deal 0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:05.639 with a team like that. 0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:05.920 Yeah. 0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:07.920 I don't think he meant talent wise, though. I think 0:25:07.920 --> 0:25:10.560 he meant like, right now, our team is not clicking 0:25:10.600 --> 0:25:13.320 on the on all cylinders like those teams were, especially 0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:15.680 San Francisco when they played us. But then we've seen 0:25:15.720 --> 0:25:17.560 what's happened in San Francisco, and I bet at that 0:25:17.560 --> 0:25:19.800 point he's like, yeah, look at them, they lost two straight, 0:25:20.440 --> 0:25:23.119 not us. But I think he's just talking about where 0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:25.560 our team, where we are as a team right now, 0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:29.119 not necessarily what pieces we have, because they did make 0:25:29.160 --> 0:25:29.760 some trades. 0:25:29.560 --> 0:25:30.119 In the off season. 0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:32.800 Okay, you got Stefan Gilmore, you got Brandon because it's 0:25:32.800 --> 0:25:35.600 not like they haven't done anything. But unless that less 0:25:35.640 --> 0:25:39.399 that guy becomes available, yeah, they're not itching to do nothing. 0:25:40.000 --> 0:25:44.160 Just think about our current defensive line. I don't think 0:25:44.200 --> 0:25:47.119 it's an issue health wise at our linebacker position. Is 0:25:47.119 --> 0:25:49.560 where where you kind of you kind of hold your 0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:51.720 breath because you have no idea, like one more injury 0:25:51.760 --> 0:25:53.320 and then you're trying to figure out where you're going. 0:25:53.320 --> 0:25:56.199 But who, like you can't name anybody, but who who 0:25:56.320 --> 0:25:58.399 you going to reach out to a team about? Okay, 0:25:58.480 --> 0:26:00.399 so and what do you and what are you to 0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:02.760 give up right right right now? No? I get it, 0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:04.760 I get it, But I guess what I'm asking you 0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:07.640 as a guy that's been in an NFL locker room 0:26:07.680 --> 0:26:10.360 that has played against the opposition, You've been out there 0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:14.400 and right now this team is thinking, man, we look 0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:16.560 better on paper than we actually do on the field, 0:26:16.880 --> 0:26:19.040 or we still got some more bond and some more 0:26:19.119 --> 0:26:22.639 jeling to do. Are you, as a as a general 0:26:22.720 --> 0:26:25.480 manager and owner of a team saying all right, I've 0:26:25.480 --> 0:26:28.280 got an opportunity after eight weeks to see what's in 0:26:28.320 --> 0:26:31.879 the NFL and what's in the NFC. My team is 0:26:32.000 --> 0:26:35.000 missing this because you can't look at this team right now, 0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:39.200 all fifty three. It's say, all right, this, this, this, 0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:42.919 this roster can take us all the way to lawsuit. 0:26:42.960 --> 0:26:46.040 I'm telling listen, I'm being honest with you, bro, I 0:26:46.119 --> 0:26:50.159 think just based off what has been happening in the league. Okay, 0:26:50.320 --> 0:26:54.120 you go in to San Francisco and you get embarrassed, right, 0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:56.280 and you're like, Okay, we can't compete with them, guys, 0:26:56.960 --> 0:26:59.200 not right now. And then San Francisco goes and loose 0:26:59.320 --> 0:27:02.520 is too straight and they lose to Minnesota most recently, 0:27:02.560 --> 0:27:05.000 and you said, are we a better team than Minnesota? Okay, 0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:07.480 do you believe we have, especially without Justin Jefferson, do 0:27:07.560 --> 0:27:11.119 we have more than Minnesota has? So so that gives 0:27:11.119 --> 0:27:13.080 you the opportunity to say, okay, let's chalk this up 0:27:13.119 --> 0:27:15.680 to all right, they were the better team that day, 0:27:16.040 --> 0:27:18.520 and we still have an opportunity just like these two 0:27:18.520 --> 0:27:20.679 teams that beat them. Who we believe that we're better than. 0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:23.919 We believe that we better than? Was it the Jets 0:27:23.920 --> 0:27:30.399 and the who beat them before? Cleveland? Cleveland offensively? Especially right? 0:27:31.119 --> 0:27:33.600 And then you look at No. Justin Jefferson on the 0:27:33.600 --> 0:27:36.000 Minnesota Vikings. Do we believe that we're better than them 0:27:36.440 --> 0:27:38.680 looking at the roster. Yeah, So do we believe that 0:27:38.720 --> 0:27:41.399 we should be able to beat San Francisco just based 0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:43.159 off of that? Or do we need to go, you know, 0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:45.480 offer up some pieces to go get somebody who's gonna 0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:47.560 make us that much better. I think as you're looking 0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:51.920 at the NFL season, especially with injuries see Christian McCaffrey, Deebo, 0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:54.280 Samuel Trent Williams, you see how that stuff can happen. 0:27:54.440 --> 0:27:56.320 That's why I don't think you go do anything crazy. 0:27:56.359 --> 0:28:00.320 I think, yeah, but now we are in the eight 0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:02.320 minutes until that, I'm going to bring up Philly. All right, 0:28:02.359 --> 0:28:04.320 come on in, I'll been wait. Come on, don't make 0:28:04.359 --> 0:28:08.280 me do it now now, don't make me do it. 0:28:08.880 --> 0:28:11.560 Yeah. I think I think we match up. 0:28:12.760 --> 0:28:15.679 Come on, come on, we match up better with the 0:28:15.720 --> 0:28:20.400 Philadelphia Eagles team than we do uh. 0:28:19.280 --> 0:28:21.040 San Francisco forty nine erty Okay. 0:28:22.080 --> 0:28:25.520 I think that scheme that Shanahan ran against us, especially 0:28:25.600 --> 0:28:28.120 with some young guys out there, with the pulling guards 0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:30.480 and the misdirection and stuff. I think that was just 0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:33.120 something that like if we don't get that figured out 0:28:33.119 --> 0:28:34.919 and we see San Francisco again, we probably have the 0:28:34.920 --> 0:28:37.840 same result. But no, like not many other teams running 0:28:37.840 --> 0:28:41.960 that type of scheme. And I think, let me see 0:28:42.000 --> 0:28:44.800 line online. Okay, our healthy offensive line, like I said, 0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:46.520 we haven't really seen, but we expect them to be 0:28:46.600 --> 0:28:49.280 able to hold up against Philadelphia's exact defensive line. Like 0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:52.440 they're gonna get some wins. We'll get some wins. Our secondary, 0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:55.080 I think we we I think we should be able 0:28:55.120 --> 0:28:59.160 to hold up. Just just with dron Bland his ability 0:28:59.160 --> 0:29:02.040 to turn the ball over steph On Gilmore. We can 0:29:02.080 --> 0:29:03.600 say he lost his step or not, but he's still 0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:05.520 Steph f On Gilmore. So he not just about to 0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:07.520 go out there and get chopped up by nobody like 0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:09.560 that is what I believe about the steph On Gilmore. 0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:11.200 So I believe our defense will be able to hold 0:29:11.280 --> 0:29:13.960 up and offensively, like I said, if we find a 0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:17.480 way to run the ball and be a little bit 0:29:17.520 --> 0:29:19.640 more creative with how we use that, get them out 0:29:19.680 --> 0:29:22.240 on the edge, extend some plays. I think we match 0:29:22.320 --> 0:29:25.440 up better with them than we do against It's obvious though, 0:29:25.760 --> 0:29:27.560 because we'd have got beat by this team three times 0:29:27.600 --> 0:29:31.160 in a row. Absolutely absolutely, And look, Danny, here's where 0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:33.800 I am with it. I think after eight weeks of 0:29:33.880 --> 0:29:37.240 being able to look around and seven weeks of football, 0:29:37.560 --> 0:29:41.160 I see some teams that are really good. And to me, Philadelphia, 0:29:41.240 --> 0:29:43.200 just with the games that they've pulled out and it's 0:29:43.200 --> 0:29:46.400 been a really bad performance and they won the game, 0:29:46.440 --> 0:29:50.120 I'm like, wow, Now that's how you get behind your defense, 0:29:50.200 --> 0:29:52.000 and that's how you that's how you put Now that 0:29:52.040 --> 0:29:55.680 the Jets lost, even in that it was a close game. 0:29:55.760 --> 0:29:58.040 They fought all the way to the end, but they 0:29:58.880 --> 0:30:02.360 lost to Zach No no no, And I'm and I ain't. 0:30:02.880 --> 0:30:07.840 I'm not giving no excuses. That was a horrible loss. Okay, 0:30:07.920 --> 0:30:11.040 it's fact. Okay, that's a bad loss, but also to 0:30:11.200 --> 0:30:13.880 a great defense that showed up and carried the team. 0:30:14.480 --> 0:30:15.360 I look around at. 0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:18.400 This ross and I'm just saying, like, man, San Francisco, Yes, 0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:21.360 scheme to boot defense. 0:30:21.040 --> 0:30:22.760 All the dogs that they have over there. 0:30:22.800 --> 0:30:25.080 But when I look at my team and this, just 0:30:25.080 --> 0:30:30.200 to comparing contrast, I'm like, there is something that's missing 0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:30.880 from my. 0:30:30.920 --> 0:30:32.840 Team where they missing it? 0:30:32.880 --> 0:30:36.640 At what I'm trying to get you there, But I'm 0:30:36.680 --> 0:30:39.880 telling you, I'm okay, I'm okay with it, just based 0:30:39.920 --> 0:30:43.120 off what we what we expect to see one coming 0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:45.080 with a new offense and Mike mccarthur and them coming 0:30:45.120 --> 0:30:46.800 off for bid week and all that stuff, Like I 0:30:46.880 --> 0:30:48.120 expect the offense to be better. 0:30:48.200 --> 0:30:50.600 Okay, I just I just expect to be better. Devil's 0:30:50.600 --> 0:30:53.719 advocate here we go. Hear about you? All right? So 0:30:54.200 --> 0:30:58.400 you can make your wide receiver group. I didn't know 0:30:58.440 --> 0:31:00.840 you was going, had you? You could make your wide 0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:02.160 receiver group better. 0:31:02.320 --> 0:31:06.680 At the potential third wide receiver position, you can do 0:31:06.760 --> 0:31:10.520 something that could at least inject some separation, some speed 0:31:10.600 --> 0:31:14.280 from have no names, but you can get that. Would 0:31:14.360 --> 0:31:17.880 you take advantage of that right now? Especially with contracts, 0:31:17.880 --> 0:31:21.040 everything that you have that's gonna make your offense better. 0:31:21.200 --> 0:31:24.280 That's whide receiver is a position running back. You just 0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:26.320 talked about Mike McCarthy in the way that he wants 0:31:26.360 --> 0:31:28.840 to run the ball. The thunder lightning aspect, You have 0:31:29.200 --> 0:31:31.320 a bunch of lightning, but you don't have no thunder 0:31:31.880 --> 0:31:34.760 all right, would you be I mean, it's a lot of. 0:31:34.800 --> 0:31:38.480 Names that's been thrown around. Would you do that as well? What? 0:31:38.880 --> 0:31:40.360 It just depends on what you got to give up 0:31:40.600 --> 0:31:43.680 for some of these folks, Like I'm not giving up 0:31:43.720 --> 0:31:46.200 a whole bunch of nothing for any of the names 0:31:46.200 --> 0:31:48.760 that I've been hearing. I'm just not willing to do it. 0:31:49.040 --> 0:31:52.280 Like I said, I think, I don't think our talent 0:31:52.360 --> 0:31:55.960 at wide receiver has been the issue. Like I'm a 0:31:56.040 --> 0:31:58.160 stand on that. I don't believe. I didn't believe it 0:31:58.160 --> 0:32:00.160 when Amari Cooper was here and he wouldn't produce and 0:32:01.160 --> 0:32:03.040 you gotta get rid of them. I didn't believe it then, 0:32:03.200 --> 0:32:05.760 and I damn sure don't believe it now, all right, 0:32:05.760 --> 0:32:08.080 because we know he's still productive. I think we just 0:32:08.120 --> 0:32:10.400 have to find a way to use our weapons. Brandon 0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:12.240 Cooks is still one of the fastest guys in the league, 0:32:12.280 --> 0:32:14.760 I believe, so we should find a way. We should 0:32:14.800 --> 0:32:17.240 find a way to utilize his speed and take advantage 0:32:17.360 --> 0:32:19.680 of the mismatches that they didn't have on the defense. 0:32:19.720 --> 0:32:20.760 We just haven't done that. 0:32:21.080 --> 0:32:24.280 And another fast guy coming in here ain't gonna help 0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:26.640 because you might be in the same situation. How are 0:32:26.680 --> 0:32:28.880 we going to then use their speed on offense if 0:32:28.880 --> 0:32:31.040 we're not doing it, We're just not doing it, So 0:32:31.080 --> 0:32:33.680 scheme wise, you're saying, scheme wise, even if we were 0:32:33.760 --> 0:32:36.600 to bring in said player, he may not help us. 0:32:36.640 --> 0:32:39.040 In our situation because we don't have a scheme that 0:32:39.120 --> 0:32:41.760 is going to accentuate the talents that he and we 0:32:41.800 --> 0:32:42.400 haven't done it. 0:32:42.440 --> 0:32:44.800 And we haven't done it because of the personnel that 0:32:44.840 --> 0:32:47.120 we have. No, I don't. 0:32:47.240 --> 0:32:50.440 We've gone into this, Hey, we're gonna lean on our 0:32:50.480 --> 0:32:53.000 defense and run the football, and we haven't. Like I said, 0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:55.120 we haven't stretched the field as much as we had, hope, 0:32:55.160 --> 0:32:57.040 right with a guy like Ceedee Lamb who we know 0:32:57.120 --> 0:32:59.840 construct the feel, Michael Gallup who we know construction the 0:32:59.840 --> 0:33:02.080 f and Brandon Cooks, who we just said is one 0:33:02.120 --> 0:33:04.920 of the fastest players in the NFL. We have to 0:33:04.960 --> 0:33:06.760 be and we can't find a way to stretch to 0:33:06.800 --> 0:33:09.200 feel with those three guys. You ain't gonna find a 0:33:09.200 --> 0:33:15.360 way to stress to feel with anybody except maybe Tyre alright, alright, fast, 0:33:15.520 --> 0:33:17.640 Like I don't know other than that Brandon Cooks is 0:33:17.720 --> 0:33:20.760 up there with with that second tier of guys behind 0:33:20.800 --> 0:33:24.800 Tyreek Hill. No, man, I absolutely like, I here's my 0:33:24.800 --> 0:33:27.120 my trust factor in what you're saying, Especially when when 0:33:27.120 --> 0:33:29.200 I look at Tyrek Hill, his speed is just on 0:33:29.240 --> 0:33:30.840 another level. It don't matter where you put him. You 0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:32.160 can put him in the slot you can put him 0:33:32.160 --> 0:33:34.080 in a running back, you can motion him, you could 0:33:34.120 --> 0:33:36.520 do whatever you have to do with him. He is 0:33:36.600 --> 0:33:40.600 a viable threat no matter where he is. It's first 0:33:40.640 --> 0:33:44.120 six games. They didn't figure out how to use Brandon 0:33:44.120 --> 0:33:48.600 Cooks until last week. Whose fault is that? No, No, I'm 0:33:48.600 --> 0:33:51.360 not fault. I'm just I'm just I'm just putting it out, Okay, 0:33:51.600 --> 0:33:54.120 that they haven't figured out a way to use this 0:33:54.200 --> 0:33:57.800 quote unquote guy that is a thousand yard receiver in 0:33:57.800 --> 0:34:00.200 his sleep. We haven't seen it, all right, we haven't 0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:02.760 seen it, Michael gall the separation in there. So if 0:34:02.760 --> 0:34:05.160 you have an opportunity to make the team better in 0:34:05.200 --> 0:34:06.959 any way, I think you have to go out there 0:34:07.000 --> 0:34:09.919 and get it. Because if you look at okay, let's 0:34:09.960 --> 0:34:14.680 look at the Philadelphia Eagles, A J. Brown, Davonte Smith, 0:34:14.760 --> 0:34:17.239 I mean dog, hold on, wait, hold on, way tell 0:34:17.280 --> 0:34:20.600 me so we I forget the guy's name went off 0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:24.760 against San Francisco with Justin Jefferson out, Oh yeah. 0:34:24.600 --> 0:34:28.560 Number three? Whose radar was he on? Uh? He's yeah, 0:34:28.600 --> 0:34:29.640 he was fast and. 0:34:30.360 --> 0:34:33.040 Dad, but they found but they found a way to 0:34:33.080 --> 0:34:34.880 get him the ball, didn't He like, I'm not he 0:34:35.000 --> 0:34:37.160 not better than all the guys that we got no 0:34:37.560 --> 0:34:39.440 but they found a way to give him the ball 0:34:39.440 --> 0:34:41.000 against the team that we couldn't do it again. 0:34:41.080 --> 0:34:43.359 True, So like that's why I'm like. 0:34:43.640 --> 0:34:47.000 I don't believe it's on our wide receiver and receivers 0:34:47.040 --> 0:34:49.879 and their talent, like other teams are finding a way 0:34:49.920 --> 0:34:52.040 to get this type of stuff done with guys who 0:34:52.239 --> 0:34:54.880 who I believe have less talent and skill than the 0:34:54.920 --> 0:34:56.879 guys that are on our squad. All right, so I'm 0:34:56.880 --> 0:34:58.759 gonna stick a pin in it. I need a Barry 0:34:58.840 --> 0:35:01.120 Church in here for this because I know, I know 0:35:01.239 --> 0:35:06.120 my boy PC. But that's okay, you're still on this, 0:35:06.160 --> 0:35:09.560 Brandon Cooks. We'll circle back. We will circle back. I'll 0:35:09.600 --> 0:35:14.040 agree to disagree. But, man, Michael Parsons, I gotta ask you, man, 0:35:14.200 --> 0:35:18.759 former a former NFL player, You've been in locker rooms, dog, 0:35:18.800 --> 0:35:21.440 you know what it's all about. When you have a 0:35:21.480 --> 0:35:24.160 guy like Michael Parsons, who is your star and your 0:35:24.200 --> 0:35:27.440 leader on your team, that does a podcast from his 0:35:27.520 --> 0:35:29.600 crib and his dungeon. 0:35:30.280 --> 0:35:32.160 Called The Edge. Just a great podcast. 0:35:32.239 --> 0:35:35.120 He voices all of his opinions on all things football 0:35:35.160 --> 0:35:38.400 and whatever else he feels as a as a as 0:35:38.440 --> 0:35:43.160 a former player. What are your thoughts about a superstar 0:35:43.239 --> 0:35:46.839 player on the caliber of Michael Parson's level doing a 0:35:46.920 --> 0:35:49.759 podcast week You know what, And I'm not gonna be 0:35:49.800 --> 0:35:53.520 a hypocrite here because I like Patrick Peterson does a 0:35:53.560 --> 0:35:58.880 podcast and I enjoyed, right, and he's to me body 0:35:58.880 --> 0:36:01.080 at work. He's been in it doing this a lot 0:36:01.120 --> 0:36:04.880 longer than Michael Parsons, and I'm like, I appreciate his 0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:08.080 input and then his perspective on how some of the 0:36:08.120 --> 0:36:09.560 stuff that he talks about goes. 0:36:10.400 --> 0:36:12.080 I think when you when you look. 0:36:11.840 --> 0:36:16.560 At players in them having these podcasts, it depends on 0:36:17.160 --> 0:36:19.640 what type of attitude that player has, what type of 0:36:19.719 --> 0:36:23.319 character that player has, because then you as a coaching staff, 0:36:23.360 --> 0:36:25.719 for you as a teammates in the locker room, then 0:36:25.760 --> 0:36:28.480 you trust that most of the stuff, everything that they're 0:36:28.520 --> 0:36:31.120 going to say is going to be on the positive. 0:36:31.200 --> 0:36:32.879 It's not going to affect the team. It's not going 0:36:32.880 --> 0:36:37.080 to right, no know what I'm saying, But you feel 0:36:37.160 --> 0:36:38.000 you feel more. 0:36:37.840 --> 0:36:41.160 Positive about your superstars when they have that type of 0:36:41.239 --> 0:36:44.600 character and they have that type of maturity and all 0:36:44.600 --> 0:36:45.399 the positive things. 0:36:45.520 --> 0:36:45.680 Right. 0:36:46.320 --> 0:36:48.920 The issue is when you have a guy and I'm 0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:51.239 not saying this Michael Parson. I'm just when you have 0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:54.600 a guy who doesn't have that type of character and 0:36:54.640 --> 0:36:57.000 it's not mature and it's going to say all type 0:36:57.000 --> 0:36:58.160 of crazy stuff. 0:36:58.360 --> 0:37:00.560 Then that's when you have to worry. And then maybe 0:37:00.600 --> 0:37:01.200 your coaching. 0:37:00.960 --> 0:37:03.360 Staff has to come in and say, man, we probably 0:37:03.400 --> 0:37:06.120 gonna have to cut that out because because you're becoming 0:37:06.160 --> 0:37:08.200 a distraction right now. I don't think Michael Parsons is 0:37:08.239 --> 0:37:10.680 coming to distraction because one of the Dallas Cowboys. No 0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:12.719 matter what he does, what he says, or he says 0:37:12.760 --> 0:37:15.280 on the podcast or in the locker room, it's gonna 0:37:15.280 --> 0:37:17.880 be on the headlines anyways. And he just you know, 0:37:18.000 --> 0:37:19.680 voicing his opinion some of the stuff he does say, 0:37:19.680 --> 0:37:22.160 because when he was on Twitter, he was saying more 0:37:22.200 --> 0:37:24.240 crazy stuff on Twitter that he said on his podcast. 0:37:24.239 --> 0:37:25.839 So take it to the podcast though. 0:37:26.120 --> 0:37:29.239 So I think for me, my feeling about it is 0:37:29.960 --> 0:37:32.840 like I understand what having a platform is all about. 0:37:32.920 --> 0:37:35.799 Everybody's all about branding. You know, what's my brand? What's 0:37:35.800 --> 0:37:36.320 my brand? 0:37:36.360 --> 0:37:38.040 You know? And I'm building my brand. 0:37:38.200 --> 0:37:41.719 When I look at Michael Parsons, his brand is destruction. 0:37:42.040 --> 0:37:45.640 It's chasing the linebacker, it's you're going to be one 0:37:45.640 --> 0:37:50.200 of the highest paid players in the NFL. You don't 0:37:50.200 --> 0:37:52.759 have to talk to nobody. You know, you don't have 0:37:52.840 --> 0:37:55.000 to talk. Let you up. I'm just saying, like if 0:37:55.160 --> 0:37:58.040 I was talking to my son, baby, just go ball, 0:37:58.360 --> 0:38:01.520 you know, lit Danny mccraig, hand of the talking. And 0:38:01.600 --> 0:38:04.120 you talk about pat P. Pat P is doing this 0:38:04.239 --> 0:38:06.200 at the end of his career. 0:38:06.239 --> 0:38:06.920 He is done. 0:38:07.080 --> 0:38:11.520 Pat P is he is leveraging to the next level. Okay, 0:38:11.719 --> 0:38:17.279 and that and that's fair. But then also like the 0:38:17.600 --> 0:38:20.440 thought process of the older generation which is now me 0:38:20.560 --> 0:38:23.640 as well, it's totally different than what these guys are seeing. 0:38:23.680 --> 0:38:25.719 And they said, like he might think he like one 0:38:25.760 --> 0:38:27.680 of the first big time guys to have his own 0:38:27.680 --> 0:38:31.000 podcast that early, right, So to him, he's setting the trend. 0:38:31.120 --> 0:38:33.799 He's starting, he's starting his own thing. So, but that 0:38:33.960 --> 0:38:37.160 is the culture of today, Like what is it gen 0:38:37.400 --> 0:38:42.080 z because y'all had no podcast and all that back 0:38:42.160 --> 0:38:44.680 when y'all was doing this. Now this the radio show 0:38:46.480 --> 0:38:48.480 and then we didn't have it. But now I think 0:38:48.520 --> 0:38:50.560 that is going to be it's going to become a thing. 0:38:50.560 --> 0:38:52.399 It's going to be normalized like that. So I don't 0:38:52.440 --> 0:38:54.000 I don't think it's a big deal for him to 0:38:54.000 --> 0:38:56.319 have it. Like I said, as long as he continues 0:38:56.400 --> 0:38:59.080 to spread positivity and make sure that the stuff that 0:38:59.120 --> 0:39:01.279 he says does not affect him and his team and 0:39:01.320 --> 0:39:04.440 his teammates or the organization, and you should have I 0:39:04.440 --> 0:39:04.800 don't have it. 0:39:04.880 --> 0:39:07.080 I don't have issue with especially be balling. Now. 0:39:07.200 --> 0:39:08.600 Now you go, he go out there and get six 0:39:08.680 --> 0:39:12.439 sex podcasts all day, podcast all day.
