19
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: Let's get this thing rolls. Andre Girard, I knew exactly

20
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: who I mean. He had to. I saw himunday at

21
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: the game. Actually, yeah, I mean last that was not less?

22
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: Was that last? He was awesome? Yeah, he's great player.

23
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,279
Speaker 1: I mean, unfortunately for him, he had to have somebody

24
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: step on his face yea before he could really get

25
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: to that name recognition and like, oh he was a guy.

26
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: Oh he's a good player too. The next thing you know,

27
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: he makes five Pro Bowls. But I'll say this, he

28
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: had probably the funniest thing I've ever heard anyone say.

29
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: I've told it before, but it's so funny. No, no,

30
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: not the hockey story. Hockey story is funny too. But

31
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: he basically was on our air talking about going to

32
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: that dude ranch that yeah, in two thousand and two,

33
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: and he was talking about Troy Hamburg taking this pig

34
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: and dragging this pig by the feet around and throwing

35
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: this pig around and he and Ridgard goes, I'm pretty

36
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: sure he tore that pigs acl and like that was funny.

37
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, he said he wanted to play hockey, be

38
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: the first guy to ever throw someone over the glass.

39
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: He didn't do that. He never played, but it did

40
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: play center and he played pretty good. Ron Larry was

41
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: a good choice. To sixty five. But Andre Girard and

42
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: he's he's the best choice. Good number, good good good,

43
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: good player, fun player. All right, you looking at me,

44
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, no, idea, what that is. You don't know? Andre,

45
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: he works he was. No, he doesn't work here anymore,

46
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: but he was. He was worked here for the time.

47
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: I know he's worked here. At some point we probably

48
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: might I see his face. I'm noble with names. Yeah,

49
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: you know, I loved about it when Andre was um

50
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: he was We went to Washington, we went to the

51
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: uh it was the African American History Museum of History,

52
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: and it was really cool because we all we were

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: all were there and it was you know, as you go,

54
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: as you go up up there and it gets a

55
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: lot lighter and better, and he shows a lot of

56
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 1: the athletes and entertainers and all that. And there was

57
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: that part where he was talking about the center position.

58
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: It is one of the very few positions in the

59
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: league that has African American centers and I mean the

60
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 1: African American starters, and he was one of the very

61
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: first ones. He was real proud of that, and he

62
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: was there and he should have been and it was

63
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: it was cool, just talking to him out there as well.

64
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: You don't you don't think about it, but yeah, there

65
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: there hasn't been one that has a lot of African

66
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: Americans and he was and he was really good. He

67
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: was really really good. Um. Yeah, and I'd say that

68
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 1: tongue in cheek about that happened in two thousand and six.

69
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: You know, with Haynesworth, he was ready to be a star.

70
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: He was about to be a star, and that just

71
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: unfortunate thing that happened. He handled it as good as

72
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: you could possibly. But it was also because of how

73
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: it happened too, because I think the reason why he

74
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: got stopped is because it stopped his face because he

75
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: was killing It was like he was destroying that dude

76
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: that game, and he just got frustrated. Hainesworth got frustrated

77
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: and decided to get dirty. Um. And so I think

78
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: I think it just brought more attention to the fact

79
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: that no draw was handling him, handling him easily, last

80
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: easily be handling him well and um and so I

81
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: think that kind of got a little more attention on

82
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: just how well he was playing the position. Okay, I

83
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: definitely know him. Yeah, and by the way, he's the

84
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: most friendly guy too, So if you're around, I'm sure

85
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: he would come around and say Hi. I kind of

86
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: think this. Yeah, Andre's a good dude. All right, Um,

87
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: let's jump into some storylines. We do this every Friday.

88
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: I have a list of different questions slash storylines that

89
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: that I think will be important to this game. Uh,

90
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: let's start first with kind of just a big picture thing. Um,

91
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: this game has the potential to be one that that

92
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: could be. I don't know. You know, they could score

93
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: eighty points between the two of them, and I don't

94
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: think anybody would be surprised by that. My question for

95
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: you guys is if this turns into a shootout, who

96
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: benefits more, Kansas City or Dallas. UM, I think Dallas

97
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: does because I just think I think that there. Their

98
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: offense is better. I think they have more. Dallas's offense

99
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: is better, I do. I do think it has it

100
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: has more weapons. We talked about this straight on a

101
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: different show. But you know, if you if you give

102
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: me the best weapon, Kansas City's got it, give me

103
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: the top three weapons they probably have two, give me

104
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: the top ten. Dallas probably has seven of them, six

105
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: of them. So at the end of the day, they're

106
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 1: gonna have. They have more and they have an offensive

107
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: line than I think's better. So I think they're going

108
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: to be able to keep scoring the best. I think.

109
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: I think they will be able to do that. So

110
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: I would say Dallas in a shootout there trying to

111
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: look up. Okay, if you guys have good memory, out

112
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: of all the games they've played so far, what are

113
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: the games that has being a very good back and

114
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: forth back and forth other than the first game? Yeah,

115
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: other than Damna, I mean Kansas City. I mean not

116
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Um, Los Angeles was close, but I don't know,

117
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: they was like back and forth. They went a ton

118
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: of points scored. Name well, there was a few points

119
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: scored in the Carolina game. It was just not considered

120
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: back and forth. It was like the Cowboy It was

121
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: close early. Cowboys took a big lead into the fourth quarter,

122
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: Carolina got back into it and then you know they

123
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: won thirty six twenty eight. That's pretty high scoring game. Yeah,

124
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: but that wasn't really back and forth. I mean New

125
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: England maybe New England. Yeah, I mean New England obviously

126
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: took that that early lead and then they kind of

127
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: that was came back in but I mean that was

128
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: a game that was kind of a back and forth

129
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: kind of game. To me, at least, it felt like

130
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: that from the standpoint that it was kind of like

131
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: these ebbs and flows in the game where one team

132
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: was on top, then the other teams on top, then

133
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: the other teams, you know what I'm saying, just kind

134
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: of I guess that would be the next one, like

135
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: closest one that was like that. I'm trying to like

136
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: kind of think back and compare. Okay, how have the

137
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense responded to games like that to where it's

138
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: really kind of keeping up and staying on top, and

139
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: how has the end result been? And we saw it,

140
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: I mean Week one, that was as close as they

141
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: could get and it was fun and they were just

142
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: right there and you kept you keep saying it. Had

143
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: it not been for it's like Martin being lank, they

144
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: would have won that game. I think they Yeah, I

145
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: think they could have. I think they could have been

146
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: more complete. The thing is about a shootout is can

147
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: you score? I mean you need to score. Can you

148
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: go score? Against the Bucks? They needed to go down

149
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: and get a field goal. They did, and then they

150
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: needed more time off the clock. So that, you know,

151
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: but they did. They needed points there. They needed points

152
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: even in that Carolina game when they got closed, they

153
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: need to go get first down. They were able to

154
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: do that. They were able to score against the Patriots

155
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: when they just had to have it Cedric Wilson fourth down.

156
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: They were able to score against the Vikings when they

157
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: had to go down. So they've shown this year that

158
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: when they really have to go make a drive, even

159
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: the Chargers at the end of the game, they've done that.

160
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: So that's what a shootout is about. And I think

161
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: that back of them can do it. And the other

162
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: thing about a shootout, in my opinion, is typically the

163
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: defenses don't make as much of an impact, but which

164
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: you'll notice. I think a lot of times in a

165
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: shootout it's at some point towards the end of the

166
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: game one of the defenses makes a critical play, a

167
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: critical stop, a critical turnover, something like that. And I

168
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: actually look at this Dallas team and I think this

169
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: defense is light years ahead of where they were in

170
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: Week one. I think they are a much better defense

171
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: at this point than they were back then. I think

172
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: they've settled into their roles, and so I do think

173
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: this is the kind of defense if they got into

174
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: that kind of game, they may not stop them most

175
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: of the day, but I think they have the kind

176
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: of defense that and give it put in a specific situation,

177
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: here's the game you need to make a stop. I

178
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: think this defense can maybe make that kind of play.

179
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: And I think that's the difference between maybe what we

180
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: saw in Week one versus what we could see you

181
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: think over time, Oh, it's possibility, for sure, everything's possible

182
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: in this game. Like these are two I mean these

183
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: are two two of the top five offenses in the NFL,

184
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: not even not even look at the conference, like two

185
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: of the top offenses in the NFL. So and two

186
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: defenses that can give it up like we've seen both

187
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: these two defense give up a ton of yards. So

188
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: I expect these offenses to go up and down the field.

189
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: Well what it ends up in, whether it's field goals

190
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: or touchdowns, who knows, but I do expect them to

191
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: move up and down the field. Pretty you mentioned field

192
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: goal and I'm like, watch this be the freaking game

193
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: where it comes down to like the kicker or something

194
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: like that. And then it's like, are you kidding me?

195
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 1: It will it will come down to one of the

196
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: kickers is gonna make a game winning kick. They'll come down.

197
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: I mean every every game at the end of the

198
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: half or the game always seems to come down to

199
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: a kick or field goal here. So yeah, I would

200
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: say and missed one though, like we've been talking about

201
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 1: it so much and they going by, and I mean

202
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: we know that Greg, and he's back, so he's expected

203
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: to play in this game, and we know how Usually

204
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: we say, oh when key moments like that, he'll kind

205
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: of put it up and make it. But then what

206
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: if it goes the other way this time around when

207
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: you really really need him. So hopefully not hopefully this

208
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: is just you know, and they have a good kicker.

209
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: Who are They're getting nervous. But but yeah, he's good.

210
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: I mean he's real good. Actually, he missed last week.

211
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: Was it last week or a week before us that

212
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: he missed it? The kick it was? It was I

213
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: think it was a makeable thing, was like in the

214
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: forty range, but I'm not sure about that. But I

215
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: do remember him missing I was watching the game and

216
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: he missed one. Anyway, it's like our first break when

217
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: we come back. I want to dive a little bit

218
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,479
Speaker 1: into the idea of how you know. Obviously, the Cowboys

219
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: are the team that has the better record in this instance,

220
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: but I think nationally everyone looks at the Kansas City

221
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: team and thinks they are among the league's elite. My

222
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: question for you guys that we'll talk about when we

223
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: come back from the break is how much of a

224
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: measuring stick game is this for the Cowboys And what

225
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: does it mean if they win? What does it mean

226
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: if they lose. I'll talk about that when we come

227
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: right back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. Before

230
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,319

Speaker 1: it's out there. Connor McGovern's gonna start at left guard. Um,

309
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: that's probably the big thing I do want it. I

310
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: didn't have a chance to talk to coach McCarthy about this,

311
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: but I wonder it sounds like Tyren Smith it's gonna play.

312
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: But they want to see him practice tomorrow. They want

313
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: to make sure he's still on the up and up,

314
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: and three days of practice is big to them. They

315
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: do their last practice on Saturday instead of Friday. I

316
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: think it's weird to play a new left guard if

317
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: Tyrone's not ready to play. That's just me. So I

318
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: wonder like if they do wind up sitting Tyron down,

319
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: But it's hound like. It sounds like this is a

320
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: full go Like it sounds like Connor McGovern is gonna

321
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: start no matter what. But I wonder if that's a

322
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: good idea to have Terrence Steele and Connor McGovern next

323
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: to each other at Arrowhead all that type of stuff.

324
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: They must feel like he's not going to be worse though, right, sure, yeah,

325
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: you don't make it. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I

326
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: think they probably look at it like, look, he's not

327
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: gonna be worse, and if we can at least get

328
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: rid of the penalties. And I think there's a there's

329
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: a snowball effect that that's in play there too, where

330
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: like opponents are going to key on Connor Williams, the

331
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: referees probably are too, because he leads the league in penalties.

332
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: It's like a self fulfilling prop to see at some point. So, yeah,

333
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: I don't think he can be worse. It's just interesting

334
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: to me, but I do. Um. I mean, I think

335
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: Tyrn's gonna play, even though they're not one hundred percent

336
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: ready to say that yet. But after last game. The

337
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: way that Kellen Moore utilized McGovern in the game in

338
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: so many different ways. I mean it makes me wonder

339
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: is it a good idea? And I get it we've

340
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: been complaining about Connor Williams, but after you see how

341
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: much more Connor McGovern can give you in the offense

342
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: of just like a surprise element type of thing that

343
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure Connor william maybe he could, but I was

344
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: going to do that. I'm sorry, he is going to

345
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: do that. You think it would be good at it? Yeah,

346
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: I think so. I mean I don't. I didn't think

347
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern would be that great at it, and Lyle

348
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: Collins was actually good at it too. It's just blocking

349
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: in space. I think Connor Williams is a good athlete

350
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: and he can he can go and do that. So, yeah,

351
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: he was a left tackle. That's he gets a lot

352
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: of credit for his aspoticism. I don't know if they'd

353
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: get it creative with him as they were starting to

354
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: get with Connor mcgonn. I mean that was kind of

355
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: do it so long. Yeah, like after so many weeks

356
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: of practice, they're doing all kinds of goofy stuff with

357
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern. Maybe they just limited to more traditional fullback

358
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: stuff with Connor. Have a feeling that Connor Williams's arrow

359
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: is going to be pointed up higher than Connor McGovern's

360
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,479
Speaker 1: after this game, just because when you're playing, you know

361
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: you're getting graded as a as a left guard. He's

362
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: getting graded as this fun little fullback doing stuff, just blocking,

363
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: and then the roles are going to get reversed, and

364
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: then the penalties might get reversed. Then we'll see how

365
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: we feel about it. They're making three position changes though

366
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: for this game that from what we saw last week.

367
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: We got a new left tackle, which is the starting

368
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: left tackles. That's a good move, new left guard, and

369
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: then new fullback because of all the dominoes, but it's

370
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: all should be for the best. Yeah, I think, I mean,

371
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: I don't think. I think Connor McGovern's gonna be fine,

372
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,719
Speaker 1: But the backups always more popular than the starter unless

373
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: the starter is a stud. So and I think I

374
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: think Connor Williams will be fine doing that role that

375
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 1: McGovern was doing. But if they if he wasn't, and Nick,

376
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: you and I had this conversation yesterday, I mean, there's

377
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: nothing that stops them on some plays from swapping them out,

378
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: so essentially putting Connor Williams at guard and having mcgoverned

379
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: at fullback. They could do that if they chose to.

380
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: On some plays now, of course I don't see it

381
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: very often, Yeah, but it could. It could also telegraph

382
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: maybe what they're going to want to do. Maybe they

383
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: use that as a also as kind of camouflage on

384
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do. Right, So there are ways they

385
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: could work that if they wanted to work it like that.

386
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: I suspect that Connor Williams will be just as good

387
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: doing the job as Connor mcgovernment, maybe even better because

388
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: he is. I think athleticism has never been the problem

389
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: for him. It's been strength for him. So I think

390
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: getting him in space and letting him run and try

391
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: to get blocks in open space, I think that probably

392
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: is something him right now, I don't know. I think

393
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: that's Connor williams issue. So we're gonna find out if

394
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: if Connor mcgovernent has the same issue or if he's

395
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: stronger that's there if that position. The funny thing like

396
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: this probably won't change the chief's approach at all. They're like, um,

397
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna put Chris Jones over this guy that leads

398
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: the league in penalties. And now it's like, oh, we're

399
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: gonna put Chris Jones over the new starter who hasn't

400
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: gotten to start much this year. Like, either way, guy's

401
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 1: name is still Connor too, Like you don't have to

402
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: change anything. Really, We're gonna put Chris Jones on the

403
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: guy that's not Zach Martin. Yeah exactly, I mean that's what.

404
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: By the way, that's a smart thing, no matter yeah,

405
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: no matter what. And by the way, Connor was playing

406
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: pretty good. It's still this smart would be the smart

407
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: thing to do in the Pro Bowl, It's exactly. Yeah, right,

408
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: all right, um, so let's get back to the conversation.

409
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: We were looking at storylines of this game before we

410
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: went to break. I started talking about the idea that

411
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: I think we all agree Kansas City is considered among

412
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: the elite teams in the NFL, and Dallas has really

413
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: only played one of those teams this year, that being

414
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay in Week one. Although they played really well,

415
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: they end up losing that game. So my question for

416
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: you guys is how much of a measuring stick is

417
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: this game for Dallas to figure out whether they really

418
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: are among the league's elite or not. There's a lot

419
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: of different ways you can go with that, and I

420
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: mean we got into it at the end of yesterday's

421
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: show too. Of Like, I do think it is because

422
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: Kansas City they are what everybody strives to be, which

423
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: is like a team that you feel confident is going

424
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: to be their conference championship weekend, and they've done it

425
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: three years in a row. They haven't played that well

426
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: this year though. It's really it's the narrative more so

427
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: than the reality, Like you got to go out and

428
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: prove it every week, right, And so somebody asked me

429
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: earlier this week, like do they need to win this

430
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: to prove something. I'm like, absolutely not. It's an AFC

431
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: opponent and nope, you're not getting in because people are

432
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: voting for you get You just gotta win enough games

433
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: and then let the chips fall where they may. So

434
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: they don't need it. But I do think it really

435
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: changes the narrative about who this team is. If they

436
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: do get a win, for sure, I think this will Unfortunately,

437
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: I think this will only be a big game if

438
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys lose. If the Cowboys win, I don't think

439
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: it'll be considered a big game. If people want to

440
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: hate on the Cowboys, and there's plenty of them that will,

441
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: they'll they'll point to the fact that the Chiefs are bad.

442
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: They're six and five, they're bad team. Now they're barely

443
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: over five hundred, probably out of the playoffs, I mean

444
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: maybe out of the picture as it stands right currently.

445
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: You know, good, good job, Dallas. You beat a six

446
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: and five team. Now if they lose, then it's like, well,

447
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: you know, there's a chance to be a big, big

448
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: time win and you lost. So I just don't feel

449
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: like and I don't think. I don't agree with it.

450
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: I think this is a big game. I don't. I don't.

451
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: I don't care. You're not gonna face a team in

452
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: this atmosphere anything really tougher than in the playoffs, I

453
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,239
Speaker 1: don't think. I mean maybe maybe at Green Bay if

454
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: it's snowing, but they don't have the weapons. They don't

455
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: have the weapons that Kansas City does. So I think

456
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: it's a big game, But unfortunately, I don't think the

457
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys will get enough credit for it. If they win,

458
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: they'll get they'll get the flip side. If they lose.

459
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: I think it comes down to how they win or

460
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: how they lose this game, much like the week one

461
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: with Tampa Bay, like that was even with them losing,

462
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: I don't think many people came out of that game

463
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: really going out the Cowboys and criticizing them. I mean

464
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: it was like, Okay, wow, they might be really good

465
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: this year. So that's what it comes down to to

466
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: me is watching this game, what are the mistakes they

467
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: make and what are the things the mistakes that even

468
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City makes on them, because we've seen it other times,

469
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: even with good teams, it's like, okay, well it was

470
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: more on how the opponent played, like they didn't do

471
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: a good job type of thing, rather than the Cowboys

472
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: were excellent and they really beat them. So it just

473
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: this is one of those games that despite what happens

474
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: as the end result, I'll be more focused on what

475
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: actually happened in the game and how both teams reacted

476
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: during the game. I think I get your point, and

477
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,479
Speaker 1: there are definitely going to be people that do that,

478
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: because anybody that doesn't love the Cowboys hates them. But

479
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: among like rational minded people, I think I think this

480
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: has a chance to kind of flip the script because yeah,

481
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: Kansas City hasn't been good this year, but they've won

482
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: three in a row. Mahomes is still Mahomes this whole.

483
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: I wrote a column yesterday about Dak being a potential

484
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: MVP candidate, and I wasn't even really thinking about Mahomes

485
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: and then I looked at his numbers. They're incredible by

486
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 1: anybody else's standards, But that is the standard for Mahomes

487
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: that you're like, like, it's he's like, he's got like

488
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 1: thirty five hundred yards and more touchdowns than Dak. And yeah,

489
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: he's thrown a lot of picks. He still only has ten.

490
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: I mean that's a lot. So that so this is

491
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: still the standard for quarterback play, for what an organization

492
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: can accomplish all that stuff, and uh, it's three thirty game.

493
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: I think about this all the time. Our buddy Pat

494
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: Doney told me this. I was giving him crap about

495
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: a question he asked somebody. I was like, that sucked.

496
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: That was stupid, Pat, Why do you I don't know?

497
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: I said something mean to him, and he was like, Dave,

498
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 1: you write for the diehards who know the backup's name.

499
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: I right for the suburban mom that doesn't know anything

500
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys or shout out to suburban moms because

501
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: some of them are to the hardcore of course, of course,

502
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 1: but just as He's like, my audience is people that

503
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: are like, oh, the Cowboys are on I like Dak

504
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: you know, like that type of thing, and that winning

505
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: this game will sway a lot of those types of

506
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: opinions where people are like, whoo, the Cowboys beat the

507
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs on the road, like that is a big deal.

508
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: You ever laugh? I don't know if. Sometimes people just

509
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: ask you questions because they kind of know the answer.

510
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: They just want to talk about it, which is fine.

511
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: But sometimes people will be like, so the Cowboys got

512
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: this week, they're got the Chiefs, and they're like, where's

513
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: that games at home or away? And you're like, what

514
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: do you mean? Of course it's an arrowhead. Everyone knows,

515
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: you know. But it's like, no, they don't. They don't know.

516
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: But life tells me all the time. She's like, you

517
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: live in a bubble, yeah, d think everybody lives and

518
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: breathe around Dallas Cowboys or NFL football. They don't. When

519
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people watch it, yeah, the necessarily leave

520
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: leave it, live it every day like you do. I

521
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: get out into the world sometimes times and like, yeah,

522
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: like you're here your neck deep in it, like I

523
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: can tell you that's Dat's stat line from memory, like

524
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And then I get out in the

525
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: world and people are like they still have Zeke, like

526
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: he's got I like his hair. I'm just like, oh

527
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: my god. But but that, but they matter too, I mean, yeah, exactly.

528
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: I mean how many people watch the Super Bowl and

529
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: how many of those people actually like, live and breathe

530
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: NFL football. Of course, a lot of them, but by

531
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: and large this is just something that's on in the background.

532
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: But games like this make those people sit up and

533
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 1: take notice, right, and that's why the numbers will be

534
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: crazy as people that watch this game. So let me

535
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: ask you guys this. So, so let's assume for a

536
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: second the Cowboys lose this game. Does it change your

537
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: opinion of the Cowboys, because right now I look at

538
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: them as as right there among those elite teams. But

539
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm looking at I'm ahead, okay, but I'm looking at

540
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: the fact that, again, like I said, the only game

541
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: they've played against that level of opponents so far, they've lost,

542
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: and they won't get another opportunity to play against another

543
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: team like this in that caliber at least as people

544
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: think of them until they get to the Arizona game

545
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: in January. Does it change your opinion of what you

546
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: think of this team if they should lose. I'm pointing

547
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: to Amber because she said it's how they win or

548
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: how they But but even at that though, does it

549
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: does it? I think the thing about it is that

550
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: would be the case if it was the first game

551
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: they played. They've already played one of those games and

552
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: they wont I mean, they lost it, but they played well.

553
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: If they lose us from playing it, well, does it

554
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: then become well, the Cowboys are a good team. The

555
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys may not be able to compete and win against

556
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 1: the best teams in the least fair and that would

557
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: be fair. And if they get beat thirty one to ten,

558
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: then it's like, well, I don't really know, they're maybe

559
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: not as good, yeah, and that they're gonna it's gonna

560
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: be negative either way. I mean because because they've already,

561
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: because they've already done it. If they if this was

562
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: the first time they faced a good team, they you know, yes,

563
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: because no more that that Tampa Bay stuff. You got

564
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: one that's the most that's it. You don't get it again.

565
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: You don't get good losses. Now it's a trend. See

566
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: I disagree. Really yeah, it does matter how they play.

567
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: If they get wiped off the field, and it's like,

568
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: all right, maybe maybe they're frauds, maybe they're not as

569
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: good as we think they are. If it plays out

570
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: the exact same way as Tampa, Like if they lose

571
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: the game on the last kick, I say, Okay, they

572
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: went toe to toe with a team that was in

573
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. They didn't get it done. The season's

574
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: only half over. They're gonna get another one of these

575
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: when they play Arizona. And oh, by the way, it's

576
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: a ridiculously random game with an oblong ball where you

577
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: never know what's going to happen. And I say, they

578
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: were three plays away from beating Tampa Bay. If they're

579
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: two plays away from beating Kansas City, sure it's disappointing,

580
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 1: but you're still I'm still like, they are going toe

581
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: to toe with the class of the NFL, and you

582
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen next time they get

583
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: this opportunity. That's all fair, and that all is right,

584
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying for me, I do at that point, I'm

585
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: kind of in the back of my head saying, man,

586
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: can they when it gets to mid to late January

587
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: and you're playing on every weekend, you're playing somebody that good.

588
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: Doesn't change my expectations of whether I think they are

589
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: really a super Bowl contender or just a team that's

590
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: going to be in the playoffs. And then it's gonna

591
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: have a hard time facing these really good teams every league.

592
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: But again, like but see, that's my point, Like if

593
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: they if they lose at the gun, then they to

594
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: some degree I get. I'm not trying to say it's

595
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: good that they lose, but like they did what they

596
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: needed to do. Like those teams, the wild card teams

597
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: that you know, don't really have a chance. They're getting

598
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: waxed by the Chiefs, they're getting blown out. Like there's

599
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: always a team that like they're the five or six

600
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: seed and you're like, okay, have fun with your cute

601
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: little wildcard game. You're not going anywhere. But if you

602
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: and by the way, Dallas would destroy those teams too,

603
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: I think exactly. And so Ease has been that team. Yeah,

604
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: oh yeah for sure. But if you if you're capable

605
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: of of pushing them to the brink, then I just

606
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: think it signifies something different. That's all I'm saying. I

607
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: think Dave's in a really nice way. He's also as

608
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: saying that if you think that way, like your opinion

609
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, and he's not really saying that until you

610
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: better but no, but no, no, But what I'm saying

611
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: is that people that think that way, that doesn't really

612
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,239
Speaker 1: matter because the reality of it, because the first thing

613
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: you said was is you're right, the Cowboys went toe

614
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: to toe. They've lost. Now, they've lost three games. One

615
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: of them was just crazy against the Denver But let's

616
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: say that they lose to the Chiefs and it's closed.

617
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: They've lost two close road games against the two teams

618
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: that have been the Super Bowl. That's only happened like

619
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: five times in the history of the franchises to face

620
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: both Super Bowl teams on the road. And so you know,

621
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that they're not they can't go and

622
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: win these games. It really doesn't matter. They'll they'll be

623
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: fine two months from now when they play in the

624
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: playoffs or whatever. But for us and talk shows and

625
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: all this stuff, it's like, m I don't know, And

626
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: it's fodder for everyone to do that, and and for

627
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: fans like that that still exists in the back of

628
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: their mind. There's a difference between you win that game

629
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: and now in the back of your mind, you're like,

630
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: this team really does have a shot, Like they can

631
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: beat those kinds of teams if they lose that game,

632
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: even if they lose it close. It's like, and it

633
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: makes me wonder when they're playing that caliber of opponent,

634
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: they'll be good enough to stay in the game, but

635
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: not quite good enough to get over the top. That's

636
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: the part that's still left unknown. I get. I get it.

637
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: It's ironic because like the way that I think about

638
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: seasons and teams is completely counterproductive to me being somebody

639
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: who relies on getting people to listen to me every day,

640
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, because I'm basically like, it doesn't matter, like true,

641
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: you know, but I'll put like this, like and I'm

642
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: thinking right now, all I'm talking about is really from

643
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: the standpoint of our fans out there listening. And if

644
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: you put yourself in the same boat thinking about your fandom,

645
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: like let's say, you know, absolutely get how that no,

646
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: you just kind of play these tricks with yourself, like

647
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: should I really be buying into us being this good

648
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: or should I not. And if you see a game

649
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: like this and they happen to lose it, now you've

650
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,479
Speaker 1: got some doubts. I know it. Just it doesn't make

651
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: you feel comfortable. And I get it again, nobody's gonna

652
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: be happy if they lose this game, even if they

653
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: lose a classic. Um. But it's it's it's the experience

654
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: of it all. It's like going on the road in

655
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: a place that I mean, the Chiefs could still host

656
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: the AFC title game. That's not out of the question.

657
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: By the way, if they lose this game, Nick, you

658
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: said it like they're I think they're still gonna be

659
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the AFC playoffs. And I

660
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't be shocked through in the AFC Championship or in

661
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I haven't at no point during this

662
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: entire entire season have I written off the Chiefs like

663
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: this might be if they lose, it might be their

664
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: only loss between now in January, Like that wouldn't shock me.

665
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: Um So, But like going into an environment like that

666
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: where like the fan it's gonna be noisy, all that

667
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: good stuff, and it's like the experience of it and

668
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: you internalize that. Deck. Um, if we go all the

669
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: way back to week one. Deck said that about the

670
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: loss of Tampa. He was like, we learned the difference

671
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: between like good enough and great, you know, or it

672
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: was something like that. It's been two months, I don't remember,

673
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: but just that that's that's the difference. And I think

674
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: you can even you can learn less from a loss

675
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: about like, Okay, this is what we didn't do. This

676
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: is what we did do. And as long as you

677
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: look like you belong in the game, I still think

678
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: that's a good enough experience. And again, we're at mid season.

679
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: There's so many games left to go. It'll be disappointing

680
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: if they lose, but if they play the right way,

681
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: losing won't change my opinion of what they're capable of.

682
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's take our final break, will come back

683
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: and we'll talk a little bit about this. Uh. This

684
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: defense is Dallas defense and what they're gonna do or

685
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: try to do it in order to slow down tire

686
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: you kill and Travis Kelsey. We'll do that when we

Speaker 1: cowboy by three simple factors. The crease in his hat,

716
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: the bend of his brim, and his unbending attitude a man.

00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: We got a few more minutes, so let's get to it.

730
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys defense will have to face maybe the best,

731
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: maybe the best two skilled players that they faced all

732
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,959
Speaker 1: season this game with Kelsey and He'll maybe you would

733
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: throw a couple of guys in that mix, but they

734
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: certainly are right up there at the top, and obviously

735
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 1: both on the same team. It was interesting this morning.

736
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: I heard Mike McCarthy in his interview on one or

737
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: five Out three the Fan with Sean and Rju. He

738
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: was asked which one do you try to take away?

739
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 1: And he was talking about how the tight ends most

740
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: important because the tight end, if he has a field day,

741
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: that means he is controlling the middle of the field

742
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: and that creates a lot of other problems for your defense.

743
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: But all that being said, how do you expect Dallas

744
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: to match up against these two really great players? Well,

745
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: I think you use your length and guys like Curse,

746
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: guys like Jigs that can um you know, guard Kelsey.

747
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: He's a He's better than any tight end that they've

748
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: probably that they will face all year and you know

749
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: until next week. Yeah, he's he's probably better. He's probably

750
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: better because he's just because of the the other thing

751
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: you have to worry about. You can't just say I'm

752
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: gonna put my corner on him, like you can do

753
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: it with Atlanta. You can do that because they don't

754
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: have anybody. Nice nice job Atlanta. Well they really know

755
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: how to deflate the Cowboys win. Well, they didn't have

756
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: their guys like it's go ahead, sorry anyways, um no,

757
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: I just I think that Tyreek Hill offsets that too,

758
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: like you but you gotta watch him and then so

759
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: then it's like which one do you pick? And you know,

760
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 1: he got hardman running around. He's pretty good, he's pretty fast,

761
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: he's incredibly fat. They got some speed, so I I

762
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, but but I think that Kelsey's he's a

763
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: really really dynamic player. And yeah, I think that they

764
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 1: have the best tied end. Then they have the fastest receiver.

765
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: So I would like to think dan Quinn's got some

766
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: wrinkles up his sleeve. And that's what we've loved so

767
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: much is like they alter it. They're not They're not

768
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 1: just going to go in there and do what we

769
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,479
Speaker 1: do when we talked about it earlier in the week.

770
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: I would love to see I hope they get the

771
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: too High memo. I hope, I mean, and I know

772
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,479
Speaker 1: it's easier said than done. Like Mahomes can beat too High.

773
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: It's not like it's kryptonite for him. But I think

774
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: you gotta drop and cover, give him some tough windows

775
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: to throw into. I love the idea of like jarn

776
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: Curse manning up with Kelsey in the slot with a

777
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: safety over top of him so you can kind of

778
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: brack at the tight end in the middle of the field. Um.

779
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: I love the I think we say this every week,

780
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 1: but I love the idea of upping Micah's edge rush repertoire.

781
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: Just gotta gotta make I'm not gonna say make Patrick

782
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: Mahomes uncomfortable because he's like Dak, he's better when he's

783
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: on the run. But but you gotta you gotta try

784
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: to disrupt the flow of this thing. And he's like

785
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: I always say, like, you don't even need to sack him,

786
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: you just need to make him uncomfortable. I think you

787
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: need to know you need to sack this guy. You

788
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: can just hit him because that doesn't do anything. I mean,

789
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't need Mahomes running for his

790
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: life from Micah and then firing to firing darts forty

791
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: yards downfield because the play has been going on for

792
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: six seconds. That's not gonna help anybody. But yeah, I think,

793
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean, this feels like clog and cover to me.

794
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 1: And this is not a game like I don't care

795
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: about dominating or trying like let them have five hundred

796
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: yards as long as they're not scoring as many points

797
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: as your offense. Yeah, I keep wondering, like, how do

798
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: you make him feel uncomfortable consistently, Like not just for

799
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: one or two plays, but how do you be successful

800
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: at it without de Marcus, without Randy And we saw

801
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: that and that was one of my concerns for last week.

802
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: But I mean, Atlanta a totally different opponent than the Chiefs,

803
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: So it just makes me wonder. Now. I was surprised

804
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: with the job that the defensive line was able to

805
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: do last week. But that's the thing. I don't know

806
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: if these guys, I don't know if a guy like

807
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: Dorin's Armstrong is going to have the same type of

808
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: game that he did last week against sentaponent like this.

809
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:06,760
Speaker 1: So it's it's gonna be a real, real, true challenge

810
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, and it does concern me, and I

811
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: think that's why we keep talking about it's just gonna

812
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: come down to who can score the most points because

813
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,399
Speaker 1: I don't feel confident that this. And I love Dan

814
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: Quinn and I love what he's doing with the defense,

815
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 1: but I honestly don't feel confident that they can stop

816
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: consistently stop a guy like my homes. Yeah, making him

817
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: feel uncomfortable. We saw it last year in the Super Bowl.

818
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay was able to make him uncomfortable and that

819
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: was the reason why they won that game. If Cowboys

820
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: had all of their parts, like if they had all

821
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: those guys who were those pass rushers, you know, Tanking

822
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: and Gregory. I do think that maybe this is a

823
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: game where you could look at that and say, well,

824
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,720
Speaker 1: maybe Dallas can't figure out how to get some pressure

825
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: from four. I just don't know. I haven't seen it

826
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: yet to be able to say they've got the guys

827
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: right now that are gonna be suiting up Sunday that

828
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: can do that. And if you can't do that, then

829
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a long day. And I think that's

830
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: where you gotta be opportunistic. Make that one mistake that

831
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: you can get out of him in that game, make it,

832
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 1: make him pay for it, like make it a big,

833
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,760
Speaker 1: a big play for the defense and for this team,

834
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 1: because he's gonna he's gonna make some plays. For sure,

835
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,439
Speaker 1: He's gonna make some plays because that's what they do. Yeah.

836
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see this defense with everybody back,

837
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: just because we haven't we haven't seen an all year

838
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: all of these guys on the field together. Um, and

839
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: I'm not even counting Tampa. That doesn't even that doesn't

840
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: even count. Michael Parsons is a shell of himself from

841
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: that game to what he is now. And jay Ron

842
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,439
Speaker 1: Curse wasn't a factor like that. And I just want

843
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: to see Randy and and you know, Tank, maybe even

844
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,439
Speaker 1: Gallimore in there with with Parsons playing the way he does,

845
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: Curse digs at this level, it's not happened in this week,

846
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: So I get it. But I can't wait for that.

847
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: And so and if they lose to the Bucks, maybe

848
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 1: you can throw that as an excuse, but no one,

849
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: I mean, if you lose to the Chiefs, but no

850
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 1: one will care. Yeah, if you told me you could

851
00:40:55,920 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: line up Gregory and Tank and Micah and oh so

852
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: as four down linemen that are all going to be

853
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: rushing the passler and then you drop seven. I'm feeling

854
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: pretty good about that. I'm like, that's something you could

855
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: work with. That goes back to my point of let's

856
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 1: you know, let's say my homes throws the game winning

857
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,879
Speaker 1: touchdown in the final minute of the game, and you're like, man,

858
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: that sucks, but we'll have Tank and Randy and like,

859
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,240
Speaker 1: we'll have all these guys when it when it gets

860
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: cold and when it starts to match. Mean, that's that's

861
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: what's kicking around in my brain. Yeah, but that's a

862
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: good point. They gotta, but they gotta. I mean even

863
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: to some God, I hate myself for saying that, but like,

864
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: to some degree, pushing these guys to the brink, for me,

865
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: it counts for something. And I don't I don't. You

866
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: don't have to agree with me if you don't want to,

867
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: but I think I think it would matter. All right,

868
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: let's get some predictions. What do you think's gonna happen

869
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: this Sunday? Dave. Let's start with you. I'm always the

870
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: guy I'm always like, I gotta see it to believe it.

871
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: You gotta show me. I believe. I believe in this team.

872
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: I really do. Um, they've like everybody like, people try

873
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: to discredit what they've done, but like they've been through

874
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 1: some wars that again, Tampa moral victory in my book,

875
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: I don't care what you think. UM, no doubt they

876
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: their morale was built for They went and won six

877
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: in a row. They've murdered the bad teams that they've played.

878
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 1: They escaped from New England against I mean that win

879
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, looks didn't play well one Yeah,

880
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: Um Dak speaks for himself. I think he's got a

881
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: great shot to win MVP, and if he finds a

882
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: way to win this game, I think he's the front runner.

883
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, doubt Um. Also all of that,

884
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: I don't think they're phased. I think, like to steal

885
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: the talking point from Anthony Brown, I think they're like,

886
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna give you our best shot. So I just

887
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 1: hope it's as entertaining as I think it's gonna be.

888
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: Take the Cowboys forty two to forty one to thirty seven,

889
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: just it'll be wonky, somebody will miss an extra point

890
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: or something. Okay, Yamber can get on Twitter the next

891
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: day and see the guys twitting one and oh no

892
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: I'm listening. Oh you made a face like I said

893
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: a bad word. No, no no, I'm just listen listening. Isn't

894
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: that what they tweet every time they win? Like, I'm like,

895
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 1: did that have a different meaning? I didn't. I actually

896
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I didn't know that they did that.

897
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 1: I guess I've missed. I've seen a couple of guys

898
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: know about Yeah, they I guess they just kind of

899
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 1: like one game at a time. College teams do that

900
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: all the time. Yeah, but they're they're multiple guys that

901
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 1: I guess that's the thing this year that they've been

902
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: doing in there. Did they say oh and one when

903
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: they lose? Doubt it? Okay, no, But anyways, um, no,

904
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys win. They're gonna win. I see a score being

905
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: like thirty six thirty four, and we're gonna come back

906
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: here and be excited, excited a there we go. Oh okay,

907
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:57,439
Speaker 1: see it was I think Steve on the media Mass

908
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,040
Speaker 1: said he could see a win over the Chiefs and

909
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: and not win against the Raiders. And I definitely can

910
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: see that. I've seen that, but I don't think it

911
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,879
Speaker 1: happens this year. But ahead, maybe maybe one game at

912
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: a time. I would say one week at a time,

913
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: because if I say one week at a time, I

914
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 1: can talk about the things. There's a lot going on now.

915
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: But I just think, you know, I think the Cowboys.

916
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: I agree with what Dave said about you know, I believe,

917
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 1: and I think I'm a little worried to accept it

918
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 1: of what this means. So what this game would would mean,

919
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: because it would mean a lot for the cow it

920
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: would be like, yep, yeah, you can call them super

921
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: Bowl contenders. You have to, you know, if they go

922
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: and win a game like this. So I think that

923
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: they can. I think their offense is better. I think

924
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 1: they just have more weapons and they have a better line.

925
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: They have a chance to keep scoring points. I didn't

926
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: agree with what Bucky said the other day. I just don't.

927
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 1: I just think you keep scoring, that'll help your defense,

928
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: If you keep putting sevens on the board, that it'll

929
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: help the defense, will make plays. I got Dallas thirty eight,

930
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: twenty eight, all right, ten point, let's go. Let's go.

931
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: Oh Nicolas off topic, but um, when I'd read a

932
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: lot of the comments on Twitter, and like, look at

933
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,439
Speaker 1: what people on Twitter at the show, and I'm sure

934
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: you guys have gone it, but it seems like people

935
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: are kind of upset that you guys just keep it

936
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 1: green with each other. Yeah, you guys are in tune

937
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: this whole. If you don't like, we know Derek's gonna

938
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 1: pick a win and if you don't think that drives

939
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: me crazy that we all like I don't like it.

940
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: I don't like it at all. But I've there have

941
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 1: been times when Davis heard all the other picks and

942
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: he's like, well, I'm just picking against just because I

943
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: don't want us all to be picking right. And I

944
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: thought that was gonna happen this week because obviously we're

945
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 1: all gonna be picking fea. I feel different, man, I

946
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: feel different about this team. He is different, that's the thing.

947
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 1: That's that's the thing about it. But they're just bet

948
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: it was the reason why and I are different way

949
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 1: Oh you guys have been. I would not wear my

950
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: Hawaiian rainbow sweatshirt on the air. I just wouldn't. Fai

951
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 1: I'm joking. I don't have one, and I like that.

952
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: I only have you know, only have one team, David,

953
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,839
Speaker 1: the guy's got twenty teams. I got two teams. Yeah

954
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: you do. Now we'll see how that changes. Look, I

955
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 1: know we've we've been in sync this season more than most,

956
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 1: and but that it's also because this team is so good, right, No,

957
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 1: but it's we like it doesn't even have to be

958
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys will just be like, I don't know

959
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: whatever that too. I mean, I agree with Mickey a

960
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: lot sometimes and I'm like Mickey, I don't know. It

961
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: was just we agree a lot. That's fine. We didn't

962
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: always agree. We don't always agree, and I don't David

963
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: and I don't always agree. It just it just kind

964
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: of happens. Ok, All right, Well, I think Cowboys are

965
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: gonna win. I think they were just I think they're

966
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: gonna go in here and they're gonna play a really

967
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: good football game and they're gonna keep doing what they've

968
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: been doing all year, which is they just play well.

969
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: And that first game, I think they they had every

970
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: opportunity to win that game. They just left a little

971
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: bit too much time on the clock for for Brady.

972
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: I think this game will be a little different. They'll

973
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: get something out of the running game. They win thirty

974
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: eight thirty five on the road in a classic. This

975
00:46:58,080 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 1: will be one of the NFL network will be playing

976
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 1: the week final score is gonna be seventeen thirteen. Yeah yeah,

977
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be a fun game. I think it's

978
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a really fun game. And I think the Cowboys,

979
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: you know, like, it's not gonna be maybe like it

980
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: was against the Chargers or the Vikings. But I bet

981
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: you Arrowhead is still loud. I guarante there's gonna be

982
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,479
Speaker 1: some blue. Will be a ton of blue for this game.

983
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 1: They just they just will be. It's not too far.

984
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: There's a lot of fans there. They've been trying to

985
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: get in this for eight years, and this is the

986
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: best team that they've had in eight years. Probably. I

987
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: have a vivid memory of the Terrence Williams Toe Drag

988
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 1: Swag game in Seattle in fourteen. Yeah yeah, that I

989
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: mean Seattle's like Kansas City, Like that's the standard for

990
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 1: what a big crowd is going to be or a

991
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: boatload of Cowboy fans. And that's when I was like, Oh,

992
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter where the game is or how good

993
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: the opponent is. Cowboy fans are coming and I think

994
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: I expect that on Sunday as well. Yeah, and that

995
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: and that was a that's a very similar type of

996
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: game because it was like, wait, we think the Cowboys

997
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: are pretty good. Little earlier in the year, but we

998
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: think that they're pretty good. We know Seattle's good, they've

999
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: they've been in the Super Bowl and they were the

1000
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:08,399
Speaker 1: defending champions. So it's like and they went back that year, right, Yeah,

1001
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 1: that was the Yeah. So I mean that was one

1002
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:13,839
Speaker 1: of those type of things. And and the Cowboys went

1003
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: in there and beat them. And you know, if if

1004
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 1: they would have said Daz caught it, they probably would

1005
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: have faced them again. Yep. And you mean even if

1006
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:25,399
Speaker 1: it's uh, if it's a lot of Kansas City fans there,

1007
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are preparing themselves. And we talked about it.

1008
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 1: When was that yesterday when they were blasting music all

1009
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,479
Speaker 1: through That doesn't happen. I've heard it on our show.

1010
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: I was like, I can hear the rap music through

1011
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: the window. We've never heard it that loud. No, no, no,

1012
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: they definitely had it, so they were getting ready during

1013
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: the stands. They definitely did allright. Appreciate you guys. Joan
