00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: by ten and a half points, I think by everybody's accountants,

15
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: this is a game the Cowboys should win. Maybe that

16
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: makes you feel comfortable, Maybe it doesn't. We'll talk about

17
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: all that throughout the course of the show today. Let's

18
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: start first with Mike McCarthy's press conference that you were

19
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: just able to hear here on Dallas Cowboys dot Com.

20
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: He did say. One thing I thought was interesting about

21
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith saying that they're hopeful that Tyrone will be

22
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: able to start his twenty one day window next week.

23
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: From what you guys are hearing and everything you've surmised,

24
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: when should fans expect maybe to see him back on

25
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: the field. I think that's probably the bigger question for them.

26
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: I think it's just going to come down to, first

27
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: of all, what did they want to do with him

28
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: as far as do they want to just throw him

29
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: out there and say you're back play left tackle, or

30
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: do they want to give him a little bit of work.

31
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: I think these couple of games he's got some opportunities against,

32
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: like next week against Houston, maybe he can get some

33
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: work there. Jacksonville, who knows, maybe you can play some

34
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: against Houston. Start against Jacksonville, get ready for the next game.

35
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: And if it sounds like, you know, you're kind of

36
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: gearing up to the games that really matter, you have

37
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: to you know, that's how you have to play. It

38
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 1: was final three of the ones that matter the most,

39
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: you would think, well, yeah, I mean, like you should

40
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: be able to win against Houston without Tyron Smith. You're

41
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: eight and three without him. You should be able to

42
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: beat Jacksonville without him. I mean, he's only gonna make

43
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: you a better so you can kind of ease him

44
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: back in, and you should be able to beat Philly

45
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: without him, but be nice to have him. I think

46
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: it's a really exciting time of the year because for

47
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: many reasons. For Christmas number one, yes, no, but the

48
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: position that the cows are currently at, like they're in

49
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: a really really good position, and usually you tend to

50
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: you know, loose players or players I really banged up

51
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: during this time of the year. But in this instance,

52
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: when you talk about Tyron Smith return, we're still talking

53
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: about Odell. He's gonna be on Monday with the team

54
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of high hopes and a lot

55
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: of extation that they're going to be able to work

56
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: out a deal. So having those two major pieces, thinking

57
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: if it goes that way to be added to the

58
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys roster towards the end of the year, you heading

59
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, that's it's just it's not something I've

60
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: seen it happened. I haven't been here when at that

61
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: point of the year or the season, you get some

62
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: key pieces like that that can take you to another level.

63
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: So it's very exciting and the Cowboys are just in

64
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: a really, really good position right now. Yeah, the thing

65
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: with we were kind of all along getting the idea

66
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: that when you go back, and I'm sorry, I was

67
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: texting a lot of things. There seems to be someone

68
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: that's ill in Steele's family and stuff. That's what they're

69
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: dealing with right now, and they're right now they don't

70
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: know if he's going to be available to play, So

71
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: we'll see how that all plays out over the weekend.

72
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: But the thing about with Tyrn Smith, all indications, like

73
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: we've talked about, I think we've been very consistent on

74
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: the show ton of talking about a potential timetable and

75
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: things like that to him coming back. You know it

76
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: was going to be they were going to try and

77
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: get him ready to start to work for or ramp

78
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: up during the Colts week, and then after the Colts

79
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: week then you were going to start that that practice time.

80
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: I think we've talked about that a couple of different

81
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: times here, and then you know you have Jerry even saying,

82
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: you know, you know, hey, Tyren Smith's back left tackle.

83
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: You know, Guard, We've had some discussions here as well

84
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: about you know, I think it was Nick was talking

85
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: about when do you play You go ahead and play

86
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: Peters a little bit at left tackle to maybe get

87
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: Tyler Smith a little bit more work at guard. But yeah,

88
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: these games, you know, you never know in the in

89
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: the NFL, I've liked my line has always been the

90
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: NFL as a strange lady. You just never know how

91
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: things are going to play out here, and you hope

92
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: that you can go in this game and find a

93
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: way to beat the Colts, beat the Texans, you know,

94
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: beat the beat the Jaguars, and then get everything, all

95
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: the pieces back, whether that's a wide receiver, whether that's

96
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: a tackle, whether that's moving a tackle to guard, you know,

97
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: and make a run at this thing. Um, you know

98
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: how you need to make him. Yeah, let me ask

99
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: you guys this question. And this this is a little

100
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: bit of a bigger picture question, but I think it's

101
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: worth discussing. Um, there was a time in this franchise,

102
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: not that long ago, when you lose Tyron Smith and

103
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: everything fell apart. He was your best player for a

104
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: long time. And then came Zack Martin. You lose your quarterback.

105
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: Things fell apart. Yeah, it was all and Sean Lee

106
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: was in that category too. You lose Sean Lee. Things

107
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: fell apart. How much credit do you guys give Mike

108
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: McCarthy for the fact that they're eight and three this year.

109
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: They have missed Tyron Smith all season, They missed Dak

110
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: for a good part of the season. Things didn't fall apart.

111
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: Not only did not fall apart, they're actually in contention

112
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: as one of the best teams in the NFC. Yeah,

113
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: go ahead, And he gets a lot of credit. I mean,

114
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: and he gets the credit for building the team him. Uh,

115
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: you know, Jerry, Will McClay, you know, Stephen, all of them.

116
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they get credit for building a team that

117
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: can compete and get getting the guys ready, um and

118
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: training camp. Look at what has happened at training camp.

119
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: We can say why does this guy playing or this

120
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: guy not getting enough snaps or reps, or why are

121
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: they doing it like this, Oh he's playing left guard,

122
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: And everybody says, we're doing it differently because we're getting

123
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: the team ready to go. And it's because when that happens,

124
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: when things like that happen, these guys are ready to play.

125
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: I say it all the time. You've heard me say

126
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: it for twenty years. You've heard me say, built this team.

127
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: Built a team from one to fifty three, not your

128
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: ten best players, one to fifty three. That's what the

129
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: Patriots did so well because when guys got hurt, other

130
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: guys would step up. And that's what they've done. They've

131
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: got a football team. It's not even fifty three, it's

132
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: more like sixty five to seventy. But guys that come

133
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: in and it's trusting the system. It's why you don't

134
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: fire a coach every time they lose a game or

135
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: not have a great season. You have to build consistency

136
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: with a coaching staff, a scouting department, everybody together to

137
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: know what type of player we want, especially at the

138
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: back end. You mentioned Will McClay, and he's a guy

139
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: he has been here for a really long time and

140
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: he's had a lot of his staff being here, so

141
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: he's been here. He brings in talent and that that

142
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: hasn't changed. But you look at the difference between what

143
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: was happening when Jason Garrett was here versus what now

144
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: is happening with Mike McCarthy, and it's night and day

145
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: like your team would just crumble and go down. Like

146
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: you said that, I mean It's not something I thought about,

147
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: but yes, Sean Lee, all those players you listed, absolutely true,

148
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: you wouldn't know what to do or how to replace.

149
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: And we've seen this happened, not just in key positions,

150
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: but just since the moment McCarthy got here. Even last year,

151
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: a player went down and they knew how to just

152
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: kind of plug someone else and figure things out and

153
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: just keep going. So it's something that me, in my

154
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: time being here, I have never had the chance to

155
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: kind of witness that or experience that. So it's it's

156
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: great to see that kind of change in McCarthy. I

157
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: give him all the all the credit in the world.

158
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: There are some things that he's been doing here that

159
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: has been really, really amazing, and some people want to

160
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: criticize him, but I think right now he deserves a

161
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: lot of praise for everything he's been able to handle. No. Absolutely, yeah,

162
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: there's there's been plenty of times I know myself have

163
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: talked about him. It's you saw Mike McCarthy what he's

164
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: capable of doing, or what he can do when they lose,

165
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: when they lose their quarterback in week one, and they

166
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: lose their starting safety in week one for multiple games

167
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: and it was going to take somebody to kind of

168
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: rally the troops and get everybody on the same page

169
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: and kind of say, listen, we're down right now, guys,

170
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: but you know we can do this. We can rally,

171
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: we can do I give Mike McCarthy a ton of credit,

172
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: and like I say, I admit I've been very critical

173
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: of him at times. I think Mike McCarthy, as we

174
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: look towards even twenty twenty three, I think that he

175
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: will be your coach to the Dallas Cowboys. I don't

176
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: think there'll be anything. You know, we could talk about

177
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 1: falling apart and all that, but no, I mean he

178
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: has earned the right to come back and be your

179
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: coach because we've had this discussion yesterday one oh five three.

180
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: When it pertains to DAK and when you talk about

181
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: contract extensions and things like that, one of the things

182
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: that we said was, Okay, you're evaluating the coaching staff

183
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: this year, then in twenty twenty three you really have

184
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: to evaluate DAK, maybe with the potentially a new offensive

185
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: coordinator and a new head coach, and then you get

186
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: into that. I think Mike McCarthy has secured his job

187
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: right now. When you start to talk about Sirianni and

188
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: all these the guy down McDaniel down there in Miami.

189
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: This guy has I don't think there's been anybody in

190
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: the league that's done his job better than this guy.

191
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: Because if you look at all the things that they've

192
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: gone through, losing their tackle, their quarterbacks say I mentioned it,

193
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: all the changes that they had to make in order

194
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: just to get to this point in the season, and

195
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: people talk about them as a possible Super Bowl favorite

196
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: coming out of the NFC. I mean, you know, week one,

197
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: you would have never had any of these conversations. And

198
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it has to do with

199
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, what he's been able to do with Dan quinn,

200
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: whatever he's been able to do with Kellen Moore, and

201
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: how he works with Will Clay. Yeah, and to jump

202
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: on that, like she said, Will mcclay's obviously been here, Stephen, Jerry,

203
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: they've been here. You know what's been different? What does

204
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: McCarthy do differently than what we've seen. Go back and

205
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: look since the start of training camp. You know, what

206
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: do you what do you call an impact player? I

207
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: would say a former first round pick or a pro bowler,

208
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: or in some cases both. If they signed Odell Beckham,

209
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: that will be the fourth player in that category they've

210
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: brought to this football team since training camp. They brought

211
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: in an Anthony Barr who's both. They brought in um

212
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: Jason Peters who's All Pro, maybe a Hall of Famer.

213
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: They've brought in Tack McKinley, a former first round pick.

214
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham could be a former first round pick and

215
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: Pro bowler if he comes in. They're bringing in high

216
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: profile guys. They they're they're they're taking a chance. This

217
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: guy won the MVP of the USFL. Try let's bring him.

218
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: Let's see what happens. And he's a difference maker too,

219
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: So they they bring a more high profile guy. They're

220
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: not afraid to say, Oh, I've played against Anthony bar

221
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: for eight years. I'm tired blocking against them. Let's bring

222
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: them on. Kind of feel like two, you have coaches

223
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: that are better evaluators, maybe some from the previous regimes,

224
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: maybe not as much at certain positions that you might

225
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: have needed. I think that's dan Quinn has got his

226
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: stamp on a lot of these defensive players. But then

227
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: you look at you know what they were able to do.

228
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: You know that will is in a unique situation because

229
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: of having to deal with coaches who have a lot

230
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: of opinion. Here the front office with Jerry and Steven

231
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: have their opinions, and then he also has to deal

232
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: with the scouts. It's a very very difficult thing to

233
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: have to navigate, but he's brought them all together in

234
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: order to build. Like Nick was talking about a one

235
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: to fifty three Nick, I'm sorry, Brian actually brought up

236
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: an interesting point. I'd love to get y'all's thoughts on it.

237
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: You threw out that term coach of the Year and

238
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: I hadn't really. I mean, you think about all the

239
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: names that are being thrown around as potential candidates. I

240
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: haven't heard anybody really talk about Bike McCarthy, but I

241
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: think he would have my vote. I think you make

242
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: a valid point because what he's done has been different

243
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: than those other guys from the standpoint that he didn't

244
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: have key pieces of his team. Not only did he

245
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: not fall apart, he thrived in that. What do you

246
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: guys think do you think he should be in the consideration?

247
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: Do you think maybe he is the coach of the

248
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: Year in the NFL in the consideration? Yes, Unfortunately, I

249
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: don't believe that that the voters vote that way. Just

250
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: like for comeback Player of the Year, they don't vote

251
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: for the guy that was in like drug rehab or

252
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: whatever and comes back and play in It fixes like

253
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: it's it's the whoever, it's the broken leg, quarterback whatever. Yeah,

254
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: and it's same with the coach. It's it's the But

255
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: because because what it is, because you gotta remember who's voting. Media,

256
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: Are they arrogant, Yes, they don't ever say that they

257
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: were wrong. Yeah, this regular media. I'm arrogant too. But

258
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: how many times do you see it if you rank

259
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: somebody number one in the in the nation and then

260
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: they finished six and six and barely make a ball.

261
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: They underachieved. It wasn't that you don't know how to evaluate.

262
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: It happens all the time. So no one's gonna look

263
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: at the Cowboys and go, wow, great job, Mike McCarthy,

264
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: this is we thought. Where it happens in the playoff,

265
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna look at the Jets, who they thought sucked,

266
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: and they're gonna like that coach just turned them around.

267
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: Or there's got to be another example of Seahawks a

268
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: great example. Yeah, I mean yeah, they were they were

269
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: selling at their quarter. Yeah, they were selling everything, and

270
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: they got better. Yeah. So it's it's all about their

271
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: expectations that they don't look at it like maybe we

272
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: were wrong here. It's like, wow, good job Robert sala

273
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: or or um what's his name, McDaniel, No, McDaniel, but

274
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of the USC just couldn't remember. I mean,

275
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: but on that she's gone. That's all I know. But

276
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: on that point, like I thought, it's the same thing

277
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: for the It's the same thing for the Cowboys coach though, too.

278
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: He he they got rid of parts that everybody said

279
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: would kill this team. True, like they were like, you

280
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: cannot be better. I heard so many times last year

281
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: people saying, there's no way anybody can convince me that

282
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: this team is better by losing Amari Cooper and Lyle

283
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: Collins and Randy Gregory. And guess what, this team is better. Yeah,

284
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: And and so it may go to your point about

285
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: the their rogance of the media, but the fact of

286
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: the matter is, for every argument you can make about

287
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: any coach in the league and what they've done this year,

288
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: you could probably say the exact same thing about Mike McCarthy.

289
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: What he's accomplished. The Eagles coach. I mean, you gotta

290
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: give him credit too. I mean they've they've done a

291
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: great job as well, and they're developing a quarterback that

292
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: not everyone thought was a real quarterback, you know, in

293
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: that offense and now well so, I mean the people

294
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: that drafted him maybe you know they draft the second round,

295
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, I mean the Cowboys were thinking draft drafting

296
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: him in the second round as well. I mean, not

297
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: to replace Dak to do some kind of hyper thing,

298
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: but if if people thought he could play like this,

299
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: he would have been drafted a lot higher. And you know,

300
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: he's a winner, and they've done a great job. I mean,

301
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: you gotta give you gotta give them credit. I think

302
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: they keep winning. Their coach will be thrown in there too. Yeah, yeah,

303
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: I think he should absolutely be consider I don't know

304
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: if he would win, but for sure to be in

305
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: that category. And in conversation, you look at the type

306
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: of offseason he had, the amount of criticism he was

307
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: receiving in front of his boss, Jerry Jones, asking questions

308
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: like that that training training camp, that's stuff. The fact

309
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: that he was used as a joke at the NFL

310
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: Honors Awards, by the comedian. What was key? I always

311
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: forget him, But anyways, was it funny, Yes, it was funny,

312
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: but it was embarrassed. It is embarrassing for you to

313
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: bring light to something like that in front of all

314
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: your peers and people that you work with, and then

315
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: you ask your quarterback. I forgot what the question was,

316
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: but he asked some question, you know, I don't remember.

317
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: But the point is when you're putting that so much

318
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: light about how bad and like how much you should

319
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: be fired, and the fact that he's handled this season

320
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: so well, and I think he's done such a great job.

321
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: If anything, I like him even better in the way

322
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: he speaks to the media and everything. He hasn't lost

323
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: his composure, He's kept it going, He's kept his focus.

324
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: He knew going into the season he was in a very,

325
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: very hot seat. He knew there were two passible candidates

326
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: ready to sign some papers and become the head coach

327
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: and take his job. So all in all, he's kept

328
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: his school and he's done such a great job with

329
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: the team so far, with the coaching staff, making the

330
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: changes that need to happen, and just not crumble under

331
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,479
Speaker 1: all this type of pressure. Yeah, I challenge Nick Siriani

332
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: to win five game four or five games with Gardner

333
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: Minshew at quarterback. Okay, book, I Book, you know, if

334
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: you look, tell me any team that's right now is

335
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: fighting to be in the tournament, and I'm gonna take

336
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: your starting quarterback away for five games. I challenge you

337
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: to win four of those five games. You know, and

338
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: you could talk about it's the defense, dan Quinn. Yeah,

339
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean you could talk about, you know, maybe some

340
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: of the schedule and how they're playing. Fine, it's hard

341
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: to win in the NFL. Well, two of the hard

342
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: division games. One was a team that's gotten hot now

343
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, Like there were some good wins in that,

344
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: no question, Yeah, absolutely, no question. And see that's that's

345
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: the thing about it is. I challenged Nick Siriani to

346
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: go and win four five games with Gardner Minshew at quarterback.

347
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: We'll see how good your fifty three is playing without

348
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: with that guy him Ian Book, I don't care who

349
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: you put in there a quarterback, go win four your

350
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: next five games. That's why the Jets might their coach

351
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: might slide in here because he's winning with with Mike White,

352
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: and he benched this quarterback and we'll see, I mean,

353
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. But that seems like a pretty

354
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: favorable pick there from New York Media. From from you know,

355
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: just the Jets. I mean, you talk about a laughing stock.

356
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: I mean, the punch line all the time, Mike White.

357
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: Let's let's be honest here too. And I'm a guy

358
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: at in the Draft show that absolutely loved Mike White.

359
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: Love to pick Mike White. He was my guy. I mean,

360
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: and I realized this about Mike White. He wins one

361
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,959
Speaker 1: game a year when you ask him. He's playing this

362
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: week at They're playing Minnesota at Minnesota, and then they

363
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: go to Buffalo. Let's says, Bill would say, let's knock

364
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: it out. The anointing oil yet the horn. I'm just

365
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: telling you, I was telling you right now, is he's

366
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: good for one game a year and then everybody falls

367
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: in love with him and he breaks your heart. That's

368
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: what That's how he is. So yeah, the Jets, the Giants,

369
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: those teams that they are, they surprising everybody. Sure, were

370
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: you surprised how bad the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been? Yeah?

371
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: You surprise how bad the Packers have been? Yeah? You know,

372
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,959
Speaker 1: there's things that happen, and in this league, you surprise

373
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: how bad the Rams are. Yeah, you know, there's a

374
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: lot of things in this league right now that you

375
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: know that are that are kind of out of whack,

376
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: you know, but you're You're a team here that survived

377
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: the issues. You survived your quarterback being down for five

378
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: games and won four of those. Not many teams can

379
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: do that in this league, not with the rosters they

380
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: currently have. Real quick, before we go to break, I

381
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: did need to get a quick update on this. You

382
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: mentioned Terrence Steele if and this might not even be

383
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: about this weekend, but it made me think about this.

384
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: If the Cowboys have to play without Terrence Steel, what

385
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: do they do with tackle? That's a good question, great question.

386
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: Everybody's a left side player. Yeah, no, I don't know

387
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: what happens. I mean really, I mean, Jason Peters hasn't

388
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: really played a lot on the right side. Neither has

389
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: Tyler Smith. Yea, neither has Tyrant has his rookie year,

390
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: which was like sixty three years ago. I don't know,

391
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. I think maybe it's just

392
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: gonna sound kind of crazy. But we talked about this.

393
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: If even after week one when Terrence Steele wasn't really

394
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: good in Week one, and and here I am throwing

395
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: the dirt on him and saying, hey, that's a liability

396
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: over there. He's played so much better. His running game

397
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: stuff has been really good. He's getting better as a

398
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: pass protector. He's a guy. If you if you want

399
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: to say, what's the most important free agent guy you

400
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: might want to sign? Might be might be a right tackle. Honestly,

401
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: I think he might be the best offensive line you

402
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: got it. But we talked about could you if Tyrand

403
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: Smith were to play, could you put you know, could

404
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: you put Tyler Smith at right tackle and then go

405
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: that route? You know? I I don't know. I mean

406
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: where where we are in the the in the in

407
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: the scheme of and I hate to say this, where

408
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: are we with Ball? And well, let's go and all

409
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: those guys, I mean, Ball's active every game. Well let's go.

410
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: I guess is still on own I R So I

411
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: mean that that's probably that's probably what they would do.

412
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: They would probably start ball at at at right tackle,

413
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: is what they would probably do. It Just even though well,

414
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: let's go played the last game in the preseason and

415
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, damn why was he hurt? You know

416
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: that kind of remember Ball played eight stains Minnesota when

417
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 1: remember when they started pulling people. Yeah, it just seems

418
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: weird if you're playing a big game here late in

419
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: the season and your backups would be Connor McGovern and

420
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 1: Jason Peters, but Ball's playing, you know, like that just

421
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: seems kind of or or say McGovern isn't a backup

422
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: and it's Tyler Smith and Jason Peters. Football, somebody learned

423
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: right tackle, Like yeah, Like, well see that, you would think,

424
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: how difficult is that transition? Because if you're a pro

425
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: and again I've never obviously played football, but going through

426
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: it in my mind and if okay, you can get

427
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: used to one side, but it seems like you could

428
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: eas not easily, but you can definitely make that trans

429
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: As Tarred Steel how it was to play left tackle,

430
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: he was like, I make this pretty plain for all

431
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: of us to kind of think about. If you're right handed,

432
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: try going through a full day doing everything with your

433
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: left hand. Yeah, and how different is that? It's it's different,

434
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: but I can handle it. Yeah, but professionally at the

435
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: speed that that that it's going, can you handle it? Like?

436
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: Can you do it at that level. It's it's not

437
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: the same as just kind of I'm gonna pick up

438
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: this glass with my left hand versus right. Like you're

439
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: now having to do all of this against maybe a

440
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: pro bowler on the opposite side that's coming at you

441
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: in a way that's now. But we are talking about

442
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: holding holding a pencil or doing surgery. If I got

443
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: to slap with my left hand, if I got to

444
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: slap you, I can slap to you just as good.

445
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: Just I don't know, because because think about at the footwork,

446
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: because what happens is when you're when you're playing left tackle,

447
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: it's left it's right foot up, left foot back, and

448
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: then you flip it the other way. And then also

449
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: well tackles will tell you this. They play with they

450
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,239
Speaker 1: play with really with half their eye. They play like

451
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: with their eyes, but they use like to watch. You

452
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 1: have to keep eye on ball and then see the

453
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: guy coming and then so it's the adjustment of how

454
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: you see and then where you put your hands. So

455
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: if you're a if you're a punch, punch and then

456
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: you know it's opposite the other way, so you have

457
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: to use your hands the opposite way. But the footwork

458
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: is the biggest problem. And they also tell you how

459
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: they see the rusher coming at them is another issue

460
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: that they do because your right eye left eye. But

461
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: they have swing tackles all the time. You know, people

462
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: are like, it's a swing tack because swing tackles not

463
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: very good. It's like, but that's a swing tackle. Yeah,

464
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 1: exactly why you got switch hitters. There are people that

465
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: learn how to do it right. The point is that

466
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're always hearst of all, it doesn't mean

467
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: they're great at it. And and sometimes being able to

468
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: do that means I have to work at it to

469
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: get somewhat proficient on the side I'm not accustomed to.

470
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be great at it, but I can

471
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: get That was kind of my question. It's I could

472
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: it be at least enough to keep you going? Obviously,

473
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: and maybe it can. That's just about time. The question

474
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: is have they had enough time to do that? And

475
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can get that in a week,

476
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, playing the NFL is hard.

477
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: It's hard when you're I always on the right side,

478
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: if you've always been on lest side, trying to move

479
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: over this it's probably not an odd thing to do.

480
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: I'd put Tyler Smith over there. If Steel can't play,

481
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: I'd put Tyler Smith over there, putting McGovern at left

482
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: guard and and put Peters at left tackle. You know what,

483
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm hopeful. I think what happened to Tyler

484
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: Smith last weekend was three games in twelve days, and

485
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: he and he needs now. He needs the work over,

486
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: he needs the practice time. He does need the practice time.

487
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: We learned that as well. All right, we're gonna check

488
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: our first break and we come back. We're gonna jump

489
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,560

491
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: Todd thought it would be secure to jog and the

492
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: Cheetah seven. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

493
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

494
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

495
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: But the good news is Todd has at and T

496
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 1: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

497
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

498
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: toss her the backpack with the beef stew at and

499

539
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: got this. It's brought you by blockchain dot Com. Okay,

540
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: I'll ask this question. You ever done the bounce house

541
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: thing and like held your breath the whole three hours

542
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: that it was in your backyard like the kids? No,

543
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: I haven't done that. You've never done the bounce house thing. No,

544
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm always worry you're talking about kids bouncing around. It's

545
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: like midair collisions, is what it is. I've never I

546
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: mean it's like every oh, okay, you know, you're always

547
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: like you're just kind of a bouncing lawsuit. Yeah, exactly,

548
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: Like kids bounce out of the arena into the into

549
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: the grass and you're like going, oh, you're okay, You're okay.

550
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: Maybe you need some juice box over here, come on,

551
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: let's go here. You know that. To me, the bounce

552
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: house is a terrified thing almost as much as slipping slide.

553
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: You ever done that thing? Yeah, that's a that's a

554
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: that's a compound fracture of an ankle. Yeah, slide always

555
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: looked cool in the commercial. Yeah, and the commercial with

556
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: this until you were on the grass and you were

557
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: rolling like it was never, It was never as simply

558
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: and easily as it does on the commercial that Yeah,

559
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: they make it look really Yeah. Then you get off

560
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: the edge of it and you're on the grass and

561
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: you look like Evil Knievel hitting the payment at Caesar's

562
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 1: Palace when he's trying to jump over the fountain, you know,

563
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: just bouncing around, you know, like just awful. Anyway, I'm sorry,

564
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: go ahead, question Yet it is there are toys. There

565
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: are toys in the seventies. There are toys in the

566
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: seventies that are outlawed darts. You ever see that thing,

567
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 1: a huge spear on your throw in the air and

568
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, Eric comes and this read that was

569
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: similar to a war in peace. I had things like

570
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: helicopter rides, yeah, DeMarcus where tours of the stadium. But no,

571
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: it was the inflators that got that got it that look. Yeah,

572
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: you ever, I'm just telling you, hey, I'm sure, I'm

573
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: sure we're gonna be fine with our inflatable. We're gonna

574
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: be fine. We're gonna be fine. But you know, in

575
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: your backyard, it's one of the most terrifying things you

576
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: could ever deal with. When when we were growing up,

577
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: it was just the trampoline and there was no sides

578
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: to you. We got my kids got sized. So if

579
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: they kind of get off the trampoline, they're gonna bounce

580
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: right back in. But you didn't, you didn't have it.

581
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 1: You're gonna hit the ground. Yeah, you're gonna separate, and

582
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: you're like, oh it hurt a little bit. You're gonna

583
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: keep going. Yeah, and you're and you're playing dodgeball on it.

584
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: You're like you're bouncing and you're and you're trying to

585
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: avoid the ball, but then you end up in the springs.

586
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: You know, your face and smashed. The backyard is so small.

587
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: If they if they had we had that and they

588
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: fell out, it would be next door to the basketball court.

589
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: Next door's still go right over the fence. The good

590
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: thing about it is like back we were kids, Like

591
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: you're actually trying to push your friend off. Yeah, it

592
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: was just part of it. Like there were sis in

593
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: the seventies eighties, there were some dangerous damn games. I'm

594
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: so okay. Then we were fine with it. Made stuff.

595
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: Mom and Dad reped front smoking a cigarette. You didn't

596
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: have a seat belt on, and that's kind of what

597
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: you did, all right, that's so funny. All right, let's

598
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: jump into this Indianapolis versus Dallas matchup. Start first telling

599
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: me I'm gonna around the table. Biggest concern you have

600
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys offensively? And I know it's gonna be

601
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: ill playing right here we go. I don't know it's

602
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: the biggest concern. That would be a concern throwing the

603
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: ball over the middle right before halftime, like to CD

604
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: and Dak. Just that that play right there, the turnovers,

605
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: you're not going to take that out. I take that

606
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: play out. And Brian said it yesterday about the Giants game.

607
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: Don't give them anything like, don't don't And that's the

608
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: way my approach is, don't don't give the Colts any life.

609
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: Just play your game. They play your game. You'll win

610
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,959
Speaker 1: by three touchdowns probably maybe maybe seventeen points. But just

611
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: play your game. If you give them, you get greedy

612
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: and you get turnovers, and you go for it on

613
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:48,719
Speaker 1: fourth down because you think you can get it at

614
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: your own thirty seven and they don't, then they score

615
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: and all that. Just play your game and you will,

616
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: you will wipe the floor with him. But but don't

617
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: give them anything cheap. Yeah, the thing I would worry

618
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: about is four man rush not a much a lot

619
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: of blitz pressure and stuff like that. Now, did did

620
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: the Colts watch the Giants play and say, wow, we

621
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: got they got some guys home on some blitz pressure stuff.

622
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: You know, maybe that was because of the short week.

623
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: I just hope that the four man rush and a

624
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: bunch of movement in the front, the twist front and

625
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: especially if you're compromised at right tackle right now and

626
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: now you haven't Zach Martin hasn't worked with and this,

627
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: that and the other, and now you're having some indecisions.

628
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: Oh Peters is over here. Wait McGovern's back in. Okay,

629
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: there's there seems like a lot of moving parts. What's

630
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: going on at right tackle? And the one thing I

631
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: think with the Colts they don't blitz, but they twist

632
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: fronts and overload sides and stuff that that would be

633
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: worrisome to me if they have to get if they're

634
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: going to get pressure on Dallas, those are the you know,

635
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: you've got to be prepared for that kind of attack.

636
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: To me, I think it would be something like starting

637
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: the game a little too comfortable with your team. How

638
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: about starting slow? You always talk about that that's a

639
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: problem for sure, But uh, just in general, I think

640
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: that this is a team, this is a game that

641
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: to me personally, I just see it as an automatic win.

642
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: They can definitely beat them. They got all the they

643
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: every reason to beat this team. They got it, you know. Um,

644
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: but that's when something happens. Those teams like those are

645
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: the ones that just kind of surprise you and all

646
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the Cowboys, and not because the opposing

647
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: team necessarily beat them, but because the Cowboys just beat

648
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: themselves and started making mistakes. So penalties things like that,

649
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: starting the game slow, penalties, yeah, and just kind of

650
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: not you know, just stepping on their own feet. And

651
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: that's my biggest concern when it comes to offense for

652
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: this game, just cowboys not being able to take care

653
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: of their own business and just getting too much in

654
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: the I was leaving, I thought you were gonna go

655
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: with starting slow, because to me, that's how you're gonna

656
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: win this game. You're going to offensively, You're going to

657
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: put more pressure on them than they can than they

658
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: can take offensively trying to keep up with you. Their

659
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: their game. Their game is to try and run the

660
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: ball and throw the ball underneath ten yards and let

661
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: people run and do all that and then hope for

662
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: the best. So I was leaving that for you. She

663
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: always has a great idea. Don't start slow. Put pressure

664
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: on the Colts from the jump. Make it like we

665
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: were talking about a seven to three game, a fourteen

666
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: to six game, a twenty one to six game, a

667
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: twenty eight to you know, nine game. Make it that

668
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: type of game where the Colts have to keep up

669
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: with you, and it makes them very very one dimensional.

670
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: Biggest concern defensively, I guess just you know, Jonathan Taylor

671
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: are just getting getting hot and running the ball and

672
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: finding finding a rhythm there, and they have a guard

673
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: that's really good, you know, and Nelson, I mean, you know,

674
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: just just him getting hot and break because he can

675
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: break off the long runs too. That's one thing that

676
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,719
Speaker 1: we've seen from him. So you know, it would have

677
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: to be all those things that is not starting out

678
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: as hot as you want to. The Colts that think

679
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: they're still in this game, that the score is close,

680
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: they're still running it, they still have success, and I

681
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: think just a growing confidence in the running game from

682
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: the Coals. I think, yeah, I worry about that. You

683
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: have an officially called Carl Scheffer's this weekend, and he

684
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: is one of the most penalizing. He loves home teams.

685
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: Home teams. Home teams win a lot of his games

686
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: since twenty sixteen. Home teams. That's the one thing you

687
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: got going for you. The thing that I worry about.

688
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: They're very high, and they're very high and unnecessary roughness penalties.

689
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: They're very high in defensive holding, They're very high in

690
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: defensive pass interference. My biggest fear is, all of a sudden,

691
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: you get pressure, you get off the field, and then

692
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: there's that backside defensive holding penalty, or there's that there's

693
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: that Donovan Wilson taking a run at Taylor as he's

694
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: going off the sideline, he's running to the sidelines, he's

695
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: two steps off and then Wilson just blasts Taylor and

696
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: then it's a penalty and it's fifteen yards going the

697
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: other way. Don't do anything we talk about that. My

698
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: biggest fears those defensive penalties. You know, it's the ones,

699
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: the hands to the face, the defensive holding, the unnecessary roughness.

700
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: You know, this guy has proven he will call those penalties.

701
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 1: Don't be that team this week and give the Colts

702
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: life after you've got him off the field. They have

703
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,919
Speaker 1: got to change that rule in the Competition committee where

704
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: we saw it, I think in the Packer game with

705
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,479
Speaker 1: Rogers rolled away from the field, roll to his left,

706
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: he was running for his life. He threw a quick pass,

707
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: it was incomplete, and they call it I think Diggs

708
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 1: way down here on a holding that you know, what

709
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: I don't understand is that if he would have thrown

710
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: the ball forty yards in the stands, they call that

711
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: uncatchable as an uncatchable pass or doesn't matter if you

712
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: were roughing him up over down the field, it was uncatchable. Well,

713
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: this was pretty uncotchable too on this side, like the

714
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,959
Speaker 1: plays that don't matter, there's no way that they should

715
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: be calling that. And that's one thing. If he's going

716
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: through five reads and he's looking at everybody and then

717
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: he throws it and this one was holding, I get it.

718
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: But if you never even look that way, there's no

719
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: reason to call that. You got it to the opposite

720
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: of your really your point though, you had an interception

721
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: taken back off the charts because Diggs held a guy. Yeah,

722
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean, and you're like, you know, you tackle guys

723
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: until your point. Though. Every time, every time, when I'm

724
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: sitting this in the press box and I'm watching them

725
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: get off the field on third down, I immediately scan

726
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: the field because I'm thinking, okay, back judge is thrown

727
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: a defensive holding. They grabbed the tight end here. Oh no,

728
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: by the way, on the other side, Anthony Brown got

729
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:22,959
Speaker 1: all out of whack and he just pulled the guy

730
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: down because he thought he was going to get run by.

731
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: You know, Dallas has got to They are a penalized

732
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: team and I and I believe this. I don't think

733
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: penalties changed. We can talk about it. Mike McCarthy can

734
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: continue to talk about it. The presnap penalties and stuff

735
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: are bad, but they get the worst penalties at the

736
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: worst time. And this is an official that will call

737
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: penalties at the worst time. And that's what worries me

738
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,240
Speaker 1: about this, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Kelvin,

739
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: Joseph Plane, we gotta worry about that, um. But on defense,

740
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of concern. Just run defense,

741
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: don't don't somebody well there and we know the quarterback

742
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: he doesn't move a whole lot. But I think that's

743
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: one area I mean we've talked about it that they'll

744
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: benefit a whole lot there. But if the running back

745
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: gets lose and gets going, I think that's one area

746
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: that it can definitely. Yeah, this is one of those

747
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: games too. You know, the ball is completely going underneath

748
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: every play. It's just you know, and to me, it's

749
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: put digs on Pittman and put ten in the box

750
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: and see if they can run the ball. I'm not

751
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: gonna let you run the ball in this game. I

752
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 1: am not. And if you want to throw the ball

753
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: short all day, I'll play press coverage and make you

754
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 1: fight the jam all day long. You know that's they're

755
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: tall receivers. You know they're capable of making plays, contested plays.

756
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: But Matt Ryan is also like he is going to

757
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: get the ball out quick. He is not going to

758
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: hold the ball. If he holds the ball, it's a sack.

759
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: They've proven that. I think they've given up forty three

760
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: of them this year. Yeah, all right, we're gonna take

Speaker 1: at the Star presented by the Light the Only Beer

807

Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys. All right, I did have one

808
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: other question. Jelanie Woods is an interesting character for the Colts.

809
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: He had not been very much a part of their offense,

810
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: and then this last game he just explodes. I think

811
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: he had like nine targets or nine catches something like that,

812
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: and then he's missed all practice this week. If he

813
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: misses the game, my thought is like they really other

814
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: than Pittman, they don't really have receiving threats that you

815
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: have to worry Pierce. Pierce is, Yeah, pierces think about

816
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: Christian Watson just saying Pierce is a guy that's capable

817
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: from Cincinnati. He was you know, when you watch him

818
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: play coming out of college, he made so many big

819
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 1: catches and you watch him in these games. He is

820
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: a he's a running traffic guy. He takes big shots.

821
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: Like you know, sometimes Ryan is good with the balls,

822
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: sometimes he's not. And there's a big hit. Their their

823
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: receivers do have toughness. They're they're really both are tall.

824
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: That's the thing that you know you have to deal

825
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: with is you know that length in the reach, especially

826
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: the stuff that goes up in the air or the

827
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 1: stuff that goes across the middle. So I'm not trying

828
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: to say, well, no, no, they you know, they they

829
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: have guys that are capable. They don't have that over

830
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: the top guy. They really really don't. And what's interesting

831
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: about when you say about Woods, he came out of

832
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: a draft last year that was just a ton of

833
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: tight ends. I mean that my tight end board or

834
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: probably was the deepest when you talk from one to seven.

835
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: And you know, this guy's like six seven, he's two

836
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty three pounds. And the Cowboys have done

837
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: a lot of good work against against tight ends this year.

838
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: They really haven't allowed them to kill. But this guy,

839
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: when you look at Woods at Virginia and he was

840
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: going back and looking at my notes. You know a

841
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: guy that they play him and we call three by

842
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: one the trips formation stuff, they flex him out. He's

843
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 1: up the field. You know, he's one of those guys

844
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: that he catch the ball in traffic at Virginia. He

845
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: had a feel for how to find space some of

846
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: the things that we saw on the Monday night game.

847
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, it's it's it's it's really kind

848
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: of strange to see him not be used the way

849
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,280
Speaker 1: he was at Virginia. But you know, maybe they found

850
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: something with him. And I think you just have to

851
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: be worried about a guy that's six seven, two fifty

852
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: three running down the middle of the field. Questions becomes easy,

853
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: gonna be able to play because he hasn't practiced all

854
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 1: week and uh and obviously if he doesn't play that

855
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: that's one more thing that helps the gallup, absolutely one

856
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: less got away worry about. All Right, let's get to uh,

857
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: actually it's forty two, so let's go ahead and get

858
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: our predictions. It's just getting close to the end here.

859
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: Let's let's start with you, Nick, which way do you

860
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: go on this? I think that the Cowboys are just

861
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: gonna be too too good for them, And I think

862
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: that the Cults will be a game for a while.

863
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: It'd be similar to the Giants, even though I don't

864
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: think the Giants will I mean, I don't think the

865
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: Cults will score like the Giants did late. I think

866
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: it'll be a little bit more one sided. I'm gonna

867
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: say thirty four sixteen four sixteen, all right, Amber Cowboys.

868
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: UM I would say this is a game where I

869
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: wonder if we're gonna even get to see like Cooper

870
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 1: Rush go in and just you know, kill some time

871
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. UM, I would say

872
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: probably thirty eight twenty or something like that. Cowboys. I

873
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 1: think this The only thing, like I said, the only

874
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: thing that concerns me is that this becomes one of

875
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 1: those games that we all all think the Cowboys should

876
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: definitely win, and then they come out of Green Bay,

877
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: but well that was different, and even then, because yes,

878
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: green Bay was that way, but you knew it was

879
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: still Aaron Rodgers. You don't know what he does to

880
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. This is a game that I don't think

881
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,760
Speaker 1: there's anything that really makes you be fully concerned about

882
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: or scared or worried. So it's just an automatic win

883
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: in my head. But then those are the ones that

884
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: kind of they surprise you and then somehow they find

885
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 1: a way to lose. But I think that hopefully it

886
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: doesn't go that way and they still win another game

887
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: at home and just kind of keep the street going.

888
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: I'd like to believe that the Dallas Cowboys could score

889
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: on this defense and just put so much pressure on him.

890
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if the number is going to be

891
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: real high though. I don't know if the Colts are

892
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: going to allow you a lot of extra possessions, you know,

893
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: and if you turn over the ball, that's kind of

894
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 1: a problem there. I've got the Cowboys winning this one.

895
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: Twenty seven to sixteen. I think that it. You know,

896
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: it's sixteen points for the Colts is a lot, you know,

897
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: but I just do worry about them running the ball,

898
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: maybe busting a run, then they kick a field goal,

899
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing. They don't score a

900
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: whole hell of a lot of points. But I just

901
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: wonder about if their game plan is that Jeff Saturday,

902
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: the old offensive line coach, is like, listen, the best

903
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: chance we have to win this game, it's just running

904
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: the football. Let's just load up and see if they

905
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: can stop the run. And you know, maybe you lose

906
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: some possessions there. Maybe they try the game plan that

907
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: the Vikings didn't try. You know, that might be a

908
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: twenty eight to sixteen Dallas I'll tell you this, this team,

909
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,399
Speaker 1: this Cults team, I think they're better than people give

910
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 1: them credit. I think this defense is actually not a

911
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: bad defense. I think the struggles on the offensive side

912
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: of the ball, and they've beat some good teams this year.

913
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: They beat the Kansas City Chiefs, who I think is

914
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: the best team in the NFL. So this is not

915
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 1: a team that we should be taking as lightly as

916
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: we are. I do think the Cowboys win this game,

917
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 1: and I do think the Cowboys should win this game.

918
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: I think they have more talent. I think they are

919
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,439
Speaker 1: a better team, clearly, but this is one of those

920
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: games that I don't think and really, to be quite

921
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: with you, this week, next week and the week after that,

922
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: each of those teams have some some things about them,

923
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,439
Speaker 1: particularly their offensive run game. Right that we're gonna find

924
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: out if Dallas has fixed their run defense, because all

925
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: three of those teams have running backs and running games

926
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: that if you're not paying attention to them, and if

927
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 1: you're not doing what you're supposed to do, they can

928
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: bust some some long runs on you. So I do

929
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys win. I was right along with you, Bryan.

930
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be as high school. I don't

931
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys get into the thirties. I think the

932
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: final score twenty seven ten. But I do think this

933
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: is a game where I'm a little bit more concerned

934
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: than than other people. There's there's what if you go

935
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: back and do really further study on this team. On

936
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,720
Speaker 1: the Colts, They've only had a lead in the second

937
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:44,839
Speaker 1: half for fifty snaps and all their games, and people go, well,

938
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,399
Speaker 1: you know, why is their pass defense so good? Well,

939
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: they're never ahead. They don't ever get to you know,

940
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: I mean, people just run the ball. Nobody throws the

941
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: ball on them. You know, they get to be lead

942
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: and they're like trying to kill the game. You know,

943
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: their run defense is capable, but if you look at

944
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: the number snaps that they face when teams throwing the

945
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: ball on them, it's not as much as you know,

946
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: they're like, man, they're really good on a pass defense.

947
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: It's a lot of it has to do that. Teams

948
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: just get leads, and the Colts can't. They never have

949
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 1: a lead in the second half. That's a huge problem

950
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,280
Speaker 1: for them. Yeah, I saw an interesting stat earlier this week.

951
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: They are they're ranked pretty high in yards that they're

952
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: giving up in passing, but when you look at their

953
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,720
Speaker 1: yards after catch, they're down at the bottom of the league.

954
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: I want to say, in the bottom five or so

955
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: of the league in yards after catch, because it's a

956
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: situation where they're just it seems like teams are being

957
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: able to complete passes and then from near like they

958
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: are getting a lot of extra yards after they complete

959
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: those passes. But we'll see it all plays out. It'll

960
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: be an interesting game, I think, but I do think

961
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,399
Speaker 1: Cowboys end up winning. We'll be back on Monday. We'll

962
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 1: let you know what went right and wrong for the

963
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys untill theyn for Nick even Brian brought us Amber Garcia.
