14
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: it is a huge games for the Falcons. You know,

15
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: you've got teams if you look at what happened last night,

16
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: you know with the with the Seahawks winning and the

17
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: Packers losing. I mean, these are teams who are kind

18
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: of looking at wildcard situations for the playoffs. So you know,

19
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: you don't want to fall behind in any way and

20
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: that so, yeah, both teams trying to get back to

21
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: five and five is an absolute must. You were probably

22
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: pulling for green Bay last night if you're a Cowboy fan, Yeah,

23
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: because you already took an l against seat if it

24
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: gets down to head to head. But look, I think

25
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: we've talked about it. You got to take care of

26
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: business and win vision. That's the best. You gotta go win,

27
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: gotta go win. But your best chance is to catch Washington. Yeah,

28
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: and stop, don't think about wildcard and all that kind

29
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: of stuff. Just go win your division. And it's it's

30
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: still possible, believe it or not. You can catch Washington

31
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: in six days. Yeah, you could. By Thursday night, thanks

32
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: big night, Cowboys could be in first place. But we

33
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: can't get ahead of ourselves. Can we? One game at

34
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: a time? Bill, You gotta focus on Sunday. The falcons,

35
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,000

Speaker 1: We played an air Force one time. Oh yeah, I

Speaker 1: thank God for that. Yes, and they God, they're all

44
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: They're all there for us. I'll indulge you. I can't

45
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: believe I'm doing this. Where where does he see a falcon?

46
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: He went to the Auburn game or is that a

47
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: war war eagle? On a kayak trip around the Channel Islands? Okay,

48
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: in California, you know outside of Oxnard and Vina the

49
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: Channel Islands out there. How did you know it was

50
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: a falcon? The tour guides and I saw it, Mickey,

51
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: back to nature, guy, the fastest bird on the universe?

52
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: Is it really? Yes, on the universe? Yes. You didn't

53
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: know that, did you? No? I didn't know. Just the phrazy.

54
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: I didn't know you could go to the kayaking trips

55
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: while we're a training camp. I didn't. I went on

56
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: vacation there before training camps. Oh, these are pretty busy days,

57
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, shoot a couple of Ford spots and go kayaking.

58
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna do. And I saw the fastest

59
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: whale too, Or did you on the same day maybe

60
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: there needs to be an NFL team called the Whales.

61
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: That's right, you go Las Vegas Whales. Go hang out

62
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: with the cheetahs. Maybe see the fastest land animal. I

63
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: think we saw. No, there was nothing. I saw a

64
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: red fox. He was a good actor back in the

65
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: day media Granford and Son. Hell, yeah, you ever seen

66
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: a wild red fox? I've seen Sanford and Son. That's right.

67
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: He was pretty wild. No, I've never seen a wild

68
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: It was a triple hitter there. It was. It was

69
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: like more than just a my Wild Kingdom or something

70
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: like that. Perkins hanging out. Something happened. You guys out

71
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: to try it. It happened to be a really cool

72
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: kayak trip because it was getting out of the caves

73
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: on the Channel Island. See to try that sometime, Bat mccave.

74
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: Maybe Jason Jason Garrett could take the team on a

75
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: field trip at training camp. That's right, instead of just

76
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: going to the beat, try, you know, do something. Yeah

77
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: wild Okay, mickey, Um, we got to talk. Maybe we

78
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: needed someone else to do an injury report? Yeah, how

79
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: was at practice yesterday? Practice was better from an injury standpoint,

80
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: largely unchanged because you still got from Wednesday because you

81
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: still had six guys sitting out out a lot of

82
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: defensive linemen, but you did have two starting offensive lineman

83
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: Tyrant Smith and Zach Martin back to practice on a

84
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: limited basis, and I believe me MALIEK. Collins was limited

85
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: as well, so that you would think helps your numbers

86
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: a little bit on the d line heading into Sunday,

87
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,679
Speaker 1: very good. I'm not surprising on the offensive lineman getting

88
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: back out there, No, I mean, unless you gotta have

89
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: them less Tyrants back, you know. Yeah, and that was

90
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: the concern. Yeah, that you know, when he wakes up

91
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: with back spasms, that's always a concern. You never know

92
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 1: when that's going to happen. That's the thing about dealing

93
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: with those. And so you know, it flared up during

94
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: the week instead of the weekend, which you know you

95
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: have to feel like that's a you know, maybe a

96
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: dodge a bullet. But if it's starting to reoccur a

97
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: little bit, I worry about that after last year. Yeah,

98
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: just put a board in his back and send him

99
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: out there, let him stand there. Does he do yoga

100
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: during the season two or is it just an offseason thing?

101
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: I think I don't know the answer to that question.

102
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: I know that he was really adamant about it. During

103
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: the off season, you know, he and Lyle Collins were

104
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: both going to California and then they got the uh,

105
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: the lady that was involved it was coming out in Oxnard.

106
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: So I think you do a story about her? Yes, okay,

107
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: she would not do an interview though. Yeah, she wouldn't

108
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: do anything difficult to do it. I can stop you

109
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: from doing a story story anyway. Yeah, but no, I

110
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: don't think that, you know, I don't know that for sure.

111
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure that he does has stretching routines and stuff

112
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: that he does here. But yeah, he was. He was

113
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: adamant that that that lady helped him quite a bit

114
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: with his with his core flexibility. So we'll see. Let's

115
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: get to the bad news on the injuries. Yeah, you

116
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: want to get your umpire thumb ready, all right, Shaun

117
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: Lee Tavon, Austin Taco Charlton, David Irving, David Irving, Daniel

118
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: Ross calling out, Yeah, Antoine Woods, I think he's got

119
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: a chance. Yeah, that's the one you need to keep

120
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: an eye worked. He worked pretty hired on his own

121
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: outside doing conditioning work, and my understanding was he was

122
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: heading to the doctor to have it checked the concussion protocols.

123
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: So so you do the heavy work and then go

124
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: check to see if you have any symptoms. Is that

125
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: kind of how that works? There's any residual effects from

126
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: the work, and we should probably get a little clearer picture.

127
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: But with that, I mean you can take it right

128
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: up to game time. I mean they can check you

129
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Yeah, so the neal is though, you got

130
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: to get cleared. Yeah, but the problem they're running into

131
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: is though to go all the way up to game time,

132
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: do they have to activate Christian Ringo, you know, because

133
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna need with all the guys. You guys just

134
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: set are out, David Irving out most likely, Yeah, you know,

135
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: Ross out, you know, but I think you got to

136
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: cut somebody, that's I'm saying. I mean, how do you

137
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: You can't go up to game time with that o'clock Saturday,

138
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: three o'clock Saturday. So if they're they're going to have

139
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: to make a determination on him today or tomorrow the

140
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: time they get on that airplane to go to a

141
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: go to Atlanta or you guys get on the plane

142
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,239
Speaker 1: to go to Atlanta. But yeah, I that's that that's

143
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, if the human law can't go, that's that's tough. Now,

144
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: the Falcons don't really want to run the football, they

145
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: really don't. They're not interested. They'll do it on second down,

146
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: but they're you know, you you need his presence. And

147
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: I you know, having read and and Ringo, I mean,

148
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: we know nothing about Ringo. Christian Ringo. I mean he's

149
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: a practice squad guy. Sixty eight, right, Yeah, so you

150
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: know you're getting in, You're start talking about Okay, now

154
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: way that you're you're using Christian Ringo as you know,

155
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: one of your rotational defensive tackles. And I understand that,

156
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, you practice squad, you got to use those

157
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: guys sometimes. And I look with Sue Philo didn't went

158
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: on the practice squad, but he came from really just

159
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: being inactive every week and played it, played very well.

160
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: It's going to start for you this week. So I

161
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 1: I always get Connor Williams in that whole deal. Yeah, yeah,

162
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: Connor Williams, I'm who is practicing so far this. Yeah,

163
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: I don't think he's ready to play, so you expect

164
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: him to be inactive. I would say, yes, yes, yes,

165
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: go with the same maybe or maybe he's the bastead

166
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: of Well now the redman's got back because he's the

167
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: center's center. The one that practiced yesterday that I heard

168
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: was Joe Thomas. He's been back this week. The linebacker, Yeah,

169
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas is. So you have to see if Joe

170
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: Thomas might be on that inactive list, you know, do

171
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: they They've been working Covington in that group, and maybe

172
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: they feel good enough about Covington going forward, but you know,

173
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,599
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas would be a nice edition back. Speaking of linebackers,

174
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: Atlanta gets back Dion Jones. That's going to help them

175
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: get back for them. Yeah, there's a team that gives

176
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: up a bunch of yards per play early downs, like

177
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: six point nine a play. Imagine now I'm first down

178
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: giving up that. That plays right into Dallas's hands. If

179
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: they can find a way to win on early down ounds,

180
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: keep them ahead of the chains. What's the biggest problem

181
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: they have when they get behind the Chaine right, no

182
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: question about it. And their biggest problem of late has

183
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: been run defense. Yeah, two hundred and eleven yards Cleveland. Now,

184
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: I know they got ninety two on what they drawn

185
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: they did, but but the true you're right, they're right,

186
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: that's Cleveland ran for two hundred and eleven yards. And

187
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: I was reading about how the uh all all the

188
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator has been saying all week is ezekiel, ezekiel, ezekiel.

189
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: They have to be go ahead, yeah, you know, concentrate

190
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: on them and you want to go one on one

191
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: with the receivers. That's a big problem for them too,

192
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: because their cornerbacks aren't real good. Nope, that is that

193
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: is the truth. Thirtieth in pass defense. Yeah, that's that's

194
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: that element we haven't really talked about this year. Is

195
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: the whole picture poison type thing? Right? Well, yeah, like

196
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper is gonna win, He's gonna win. On the outside,

197
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: I feel good about Cole Beasley. You got Michael Gallup

198
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: coming on going home all the way. Yeah, I think

199
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: fifty miles from Atlanta something like that got play in

200
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: the Big House. Yeah. So yeah, I mean it's we'll

201
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: see if the Cowboys can carry over this momentum, you know,

202
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: and I think it starts up front. We talked about

203
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: Connor Williams. Sue Filo was productive at left guard, so

204
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: maybe they found something there if indeed he sticks in

205
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: the lineup. That's the way it seems to be looking

206
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: so far. Yeah, you know, you look at the Falcons

207
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: and one of the big reasons they've had issues in

208
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: their secondary is the loss of key On O'Neil, their safety.

209
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: Big time player. Yeah, big time player. But I'll tell

210
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: you what though, this uh Demante Kaze his five picks, Yeah,

211
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: has played well, now you know his a couple of

212
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: his picks. The pick he had last week against the

213
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: uh the Browns was a throwback. They tried to throw

214
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: the ball back to Baker Mayfield and it was a

215
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: wounded pass. But he's been you're not gonna pick off

216
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. Yeah, no, of course, but now maybe you're

217
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: gonna cover Baker Mayfield because they covered him well on

218
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: that play. But yeah, I I you know, you just yeah,

219
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: they've struggled, you know, Trufont has struggled, and Alfred I

220
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: think that if you watch this game, keep an eye

221
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: on number twenty three for the Falcons because he cannot cover,

222
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: and he cannot cover. He proved he can't. You know,

223
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: you look at Michael Thomas. Do you watch that game

224
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: against the Saints. Michael Thomas at ten targets, ten catches.

225
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: A lot of them were against him. You know, you

226
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: go back and watch a j Green play. You know

227
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: he can't handle a receiver that's a really good route

228
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: runner and a finisher. So you know, if Dallas miss

229
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: is an opportunity to get Cooper, this could be a

230
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: big game for Cooper. If you want Bill your click,

231
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: pick the click guy, keep Amari Cooper in mind if

232
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: you're thinking about a guy, because he's got a shot.

233
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: If they match him up against this guy, they've got

234
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: a shot to make some plays. Now that's that getting

235
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: him too football. We'll see Baker Mayfield's throw seven interception.

236
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,479
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I'm just teasing to six touchdowns.

237
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: Oh that's not good, but well he was really bad

238
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: did before last week because he had three touchdown ass

239
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: is a dope PI. That's a rookie quarterback for you.

240
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: I said it earlier in the week though. This is

241
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: where the Falcons have struggled though. I think I think

242
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: it's six straight games where they've had given up three

243
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns. Wow, I mean, if you could go in

244
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: the game and say, oh, Dak Prescott's gonna have three

245
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns. Yeah, man, gosh, we're doing cartwheels up until

246
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: it's a big The better chance Dak Prescott has three

247
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns or Dak Prescott gets sacked eight times Sunday,

248
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: I think it's the I think it's the passing touchdowns,

249
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: right for sure. Yeah, I don't see I don't see

250
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: Atlanta really rushing the pass for all that well, and

251
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: you know and watched me. It's gonna come back and

252
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: haunt me for saying that. But I don't you know,

253
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: I don't see them. I don't see Vic Beasley having

254
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: the type of season they expected him to have. I

255
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: don't see you know, uh McKinley having the you know

256
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: they drafted McKinley in the first round. I mean he's

257
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: had a very similar I think people would say, okay

258
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: him or and now the Cowboys would saying him or Taco,

259
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: you know. I mean they they they've they've expected a

260
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: lot more from that guy, and they just haven't got

261
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: it in the way. I mean, what seventeen seventeen sacks

262
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: for the season. Hella had eight against your last year

263
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: in this game, right right, I don't see that happening again.

264
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. If it does, they'll lose the game,

265
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 1: and I'll be real wrong about it. I don't know

266
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: if we'll ever see anything quite like that again, because

267
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think they would allow that to

268
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: continue happening as long as it did. I saw Levin

269
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: twice and then before that San Diego. Yeah, but against

270
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: Plura or something like that. But I'm talking about from

271
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: this pretty much the same guy, the same guy, you know,

272
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: And they got into halftime and they thought they could

273
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: kind of settle it down and correct it, and they

274
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: didn't make an adjustment. And the coaches have admitted that's

275
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: on us and with Chatz, and part of that probably

276
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: was it was a ten seven game at the half,

277
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: you know, and so you get a false sense. It

278
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: was a false sense of security. Yeah, it was seventeen

279
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: seven going to the fourth quarter. That was something else,

280
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: you know, couldn't do anything offensively though on the first

281
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: session it didn't score again. Now, yeah, Mickey's right, if

282
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: you get if you get Julio Jones with six catches

283
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: and fifty some odd yards, big time, sign me up.

284
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: But just don't let some of these other guys hurt

285
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: me as well. Though, you know Dak's quarterback rating, he's

286
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: better than Alex Smith, Dalton, Mariota Mayfield, Bortle's Flacco what

287
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: is his rating? Ninety point eight and Eli Manning's ninety

288
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: two seven, So he's not that far. If it's getting better,

289
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: let's put it that way. Yeah, I think, and this

290
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: is an opportunity if you Yes, I'm with Mickey though.

291
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: I'm with Mickey on running the football and this thing.

292
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: Maybe though, this would be Atlanta's plan to stop your

293
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: run if they can, if they can, and see if

294
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott can be accurate enough throwing the football. If

295
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: you were, if you were Atlanta, if you were if

296
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: you were their defensive coordinator, if you were Marquell Manual,

297
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: I think it Marquel Manual. I think it's how you

298
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: say his first name, if you were to him, how

299
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: would you how would you attack Dallas offensively or defensively?

300
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: What plan would you go with? Well, I mean, based

301
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: on what we've seen from other teams, it's exactly what

302
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: you said. I mean, they'd load up, they try to

303
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: stop Zeke and say beat us in the passing game.

304
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: But that's also Priyamari Cooper. You know, I mean, this

305
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: is a go like you just said, this is a

306
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: guy that's gonna win his routes unless they just say, Okay,

307
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna take you away and just double him all game.

308
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: But you can't do everything. That's what I'm saying. It

309
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: is kind somebody else. It is kind of pick your

310
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: poison thing now that Dallas is trying to create here.

311
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you can look an extra guy in the

312
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: box and double Cooper. Yeah, you start running out of guys. No,

313
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: they'll they'll have a problem with that unless the twelfth

314
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: man shows up. Do you make them beat you throwing

315
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: the football or do you just hope your offense just

316
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: scores so many points that you it doesn't matter. I

317
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: think that may be the determining factor as the game

318
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: goes along. Yeah, because if they're scoring, yeah, then you

319
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: and you're not and you're you're struggling. Yeah, you're scuffling

320
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: along there and you're not scoring. But if you're not scoring, see,

321
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: that takes you out of the running game. And maybe

322
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: they feel like that they could beat the Cowboys. They

323
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: could beat the Cowboys, making Dak Prescott have to throw

324
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: the ball all game, even though they're very poor in

325
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: the secondary. You know, that might be their their best weapon.

326
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: Their best weapon might be their offense, this ability to

327
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: just to score well. And that's if you go but

328
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: you'll know that very early in this game, how that's

329
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: gonna go sixty two fifties, that's Mickey's score. The Tennessee

330
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: game was kind of like that. You know, I think

331
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: Zeke had seventeen touches or carries and he just didn't

332
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: have an opportunity in the second half because they couldn't

333
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: stop Tennessee's offense, and so, yeah, running of the football

334
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: just becomes useless. Yeah, or just killing the clock for him,

335
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: can't do it. That's why it's going to be imperative

336
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: that they don't squander scoring opportunity kids early in the

337
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: game like they've done in the for these last two games. Yeah,

338
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: no questions. The twenty eight they scored or twenty seven

339
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: against Philadelphia, it could have been thirty five easily easily

340
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: could have been that. That game could have been just

341
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: a walk, you know, And maybe we're spoiled like Bailey,

342
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: you just can't miss makable field goals. Falcons are a

343
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: different type team than really the Cowboys have faced all

344
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: year at home well and and in defensively, offensively with

345
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: their passing offense, and I think maybe, even though I

346
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: agree with you on their secondary, in their past defense,

347
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: maybe some of those defensive stats are skewed a little

348
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: bit because teams get in a game, they have to catch,

349
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: have to throw the ball, and they have you know,

350
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: and so m so from that standpoint, what concern would

351
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: concern me if I'm a Falcon fan more so is

352
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: that their twenty first in the league and run defense. Well,

353
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: that's because a lot. But go back, seriously, six point

354
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: I think it's six point zero two carry, right, you know,

355
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: I mean that's bad, right, that's bad. I mean on

356
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: first down? Yeah, And that's what I'm saying. I would

357
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: assume I don't know how many, and I can look

358
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: it up real quick. You tell me I could get

359
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: five point two yards to carry every time I hand

360
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: the ball off. I mean, that's yeah, if you if

361
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: you told me that, I'd say they win the game,

362
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: because then Zeke's getting one hundred and fifty. Again, can

363
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: you offensively keep this as a low scoring game? They

364
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: are twenty first in the league and run defense, and

365
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: they are just seventh in the number of attempts. Yeah, okay,

366
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: there you go. And so that's telling you there teams

367
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: are able to run the ball against Yeah, absolutely, yeah,

368
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: but you know what, teams are limited when they don't.

369
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: When they they run the ball, they have success. But

370
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: teams don't do it nearly enough. See for on talking

371
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: Falcons today they're doing they're talking about they're worried about

372
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: your running game. They're worried about Ezekieliott loading up and

373
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: then you get no chance on offense. But you better

374
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: finish those drives. And Mickey's right, you better not be

375
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: kicking field goals though too. But you know what, on

376
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: the games they've lost, it's not like teams have had

377
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: to just throw throw throw the team. The games they've lost,

378
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: they've given up forty three, thirty seven, forty one, and

379
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: twenty eight, and they won one game with twenty nine.

380
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: So it's not like, you know, they the other teams

381
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: had to throw to catch up because they were beating

382
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: them so bad. So I just think their past defense

383
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: and not very good. Now you give up five point

384
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: two yards a carry, your defense is not very good.

385
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: That now we're saying all this and Sunday. Now we

386
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: know what it is, what it's like in this league,

387
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: all right? Eight eight eight eight five five two two

388
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: nine seven the number to call. We continue on Talking

00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: great job at SMU. They got two games up here

457
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: where they can win and maybe getting a bowl game. Right,

458
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: they can win their division and play also left right,

459
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: play for their conference. There we go. They play tonight

460
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: at home against Memphis, but they would play Central Florida

461
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: right well, and in the championship. Yeah, but you're at

462
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: least you're playing in it now. Tomorrow night on ABC,

463
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: UM Central Florida plays Cincinnati. They're doing a group of

464
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: five prime time game Tomorrow's not bad like nine and

465
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: one I think that shows how weak the college football

466
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: schedule is. Keep an eye on Cincinnat. Is that game

467
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: played at NIPT Do you think SMU beat Cincinnati and

468
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: so that's how SMU you get into the hunt. Yeah,

469
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: so keep an eye on that. Uh. North Texas lost

470
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: their quarterback though last night he broke his hand. Oh

471
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: I didn't realize. And you know how tall are you,

472
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: Mickey seven? He's I think he's shorter than you are.

473
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: Now he's not. I think he's shorter than but he's

474
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: a he's a heck of a quarterback. And so that's

475
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: why he wound up not being heavily recruited by other

476
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: because he had that kind of talent coming out. But

477
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: he's he's like five six. He ran, so the backup

478
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: came in and immediately ran for two touchdowns. I don't

479
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: know what happened after that, like what the final score was.

480
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: All right, he had so played all year long college

481
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: football talk. You know, Dak Prescott when he was at

482
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: college last week he was talking about the fact that

483
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: he couldn't remember that he had ever been what were

484
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: the Cowboys last week? Three and five? Okay, that he

485
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: can't recall ever in his life being three and five.

486
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: So I did some research. When he was wrong was

487
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: Misissippi State. He was not three and five. And I'm

488
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: doing this off the top of my head. He was

489
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: either two and four or four and six. One year,

490
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: got you. And then that was the first year that

491
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: he was a starting quarterback. Like halfway through the season

492
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: he was one or two games under five hundred, and

493
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: then he went on a in Mississippi State went on

494
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: a twelve game winning streak from the country from the

495
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: end of that season to the mid season the following

496
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: year and became the number one team in the country.

497
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: He didn't start that year though, that they started three

498
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: he took over. I think he had. He had a

499
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: good number of seats, like the last six or seven game.

500
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: I want to say he had like ten starts that year.

501
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: But still he was the starter when they were at

502
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: that point. And then he took him on a So

503
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: I did the math on it last week. Another station

504
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: looked it up and they didn't find it until high school.

505
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, one year in high school he was three

506
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 1: and well, so I looked up. All right, he went

507
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: on a twelve game win streak. So if it happens again,

508
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: and this was last week. The Cowboys had eight games

509
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: left in their regular season, four playoff games. If he

510
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: goes on a twelve game winning streak, now the Cowboys

511
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: will not only be playing this Sunday in Atlanta, they

512
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 1: will be playing later this season in Atlanta in the

513
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and winning a Super Bowl there. So there

514
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: you go. You're telling me there's a chance. I'm telling

515
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: you there's a chance. All right. I see how much

516
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: money I got. Twelve game winning He did it in college.

517
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: Why can't he do it in the NFL at an

518
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: eleven game winning streak? Guinea, that's right, he already Yeah,

519
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: he did an eleven game win streak. Is rookie years

520
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: against him? Why are you all naysayer? Twelve in a row,

521
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: twelve straight? Can we start with two? Well, you can't

522
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: get to twelve unless you get point two. So you

523
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: can't get to Atlanta the second time, the first Sunday

524
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: in February on CBS with Tony Romo in the booth

525
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: calling the game. Then unless you can get this win

526
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: on Sunday, Yeah, yeah, all right, they better have a

527
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: bunch of Citadels on the schedule. I don't think the

528
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: NFL has any Citadels. Saints are a little better than that. Yeah,

529
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: you're already looking at Falcons. Skins are all yeah, yeah, no,

530
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 1: gimmis um All right, where do you want to go? Brian?

531
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: You got a question? You got something? Do you want

532
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: a topic? You got a topic? No? I just you know,

533
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: I was just kind of thinking about though this this team,

534
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: and I don't have a topic. I'm just gonna try

535
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: and come up with one here. But I think that

536
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: do you feel better? You know, we talk about all

537
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: of Atlanta's problems on defense though, but after what you

538
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: saw in Philadelphia, do you feel a lot better about

539
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: this offense? Or is it still kind of a work

540
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: in progress in your mind? I know we're ten games

541
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: into this thing, but we are nine games into this,

542
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: but are we Do we feel better about it? Or

543
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: do we how do we feel about this? Feel better

544
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: about it? But I need to kind of see it

545
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: again because you know, I've kept talking on Monday about

546
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: that drive before the half that was really impressive. They

547
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: went seventy three yards in like four or five plays

548
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: and scored a touchdown before that. It was very similar

549
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: to the problems they've had in the past, especially on

550
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: the road, So I think they're in a better place.

551
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,719
Speaker 1: I expect Amari Cooper to continue being a featured part

552
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: of this offense, and I think his rapport will Dak

553
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: will get better. But we need to see it more

554
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: than a half, you know, where they're really trading scores

555
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: and being efficient up and down the football field. We

556
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: just haven't seen that with consistency this year. But there's

557
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: encouraging and that line is encouraging as well. What do

558
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: you think, No, I'm I'm I'm with you. I'm you know,

559
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm I'm encouraged. The thing that, you know, the offense

560
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: doesn't worry me in this game. It's the defense that

561
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: worries me. And I know that's funny to say, considering

562
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: how well they played, But I've just that we've seen

563
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: some signs though of you know, some some big plays

564
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: being made, some passing plays being made. Not enough you know,

565
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: pressured enough sacks. I mean, what we they're not enough

566
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: pressure in sacks I think is a concern. Yeah, because

567
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: if you don't get to this guy, then they're gonna

568
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: rip you. Yeah, there'll be a problem. See, I've thought

569
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: all all season, I was looking ahead to this stretch,

570
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: not only Atlanta but also New Orleans in a couple

571
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: of weeks where now we're going to really find out

572
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: about this Dallas defense because and part of that had

573
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: to do with the Cowboys offense was not productive the

574
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: first half of the year. Now, to answer your question,

575
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: I feel better about this Cowboys offense that they can

576
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: score some point. They could play in a shootout then

577
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: hunt that I don't, and that's what we may find.

578
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe maybe I got a little over fell us

579
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: there with the shootout now, but that's what's gonna be.

580
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they weren't going to be able to if

581
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: they've had visions of contending to make the playoffs the

582
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: way it was going two weeks ago, it was not

583
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: gonna happen with what they had weapon wise. Has the

584
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: defense held you in there long enough and again the

585
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: record to give offense to catch up? Yess gonna ask

586
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: for the most part. Yes, we're gonna find out Sunday

587
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: if they can do this two weeks in a row,

588
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: because they should have had more points against Tennessee, right right, Yeah,

589
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: a couple bad plays, but they were moving the football.

590
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: Points against Philadelphia. Yeah, No, Nicky said that He's absolutely right,

591
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: and you know, and and just take last night for example.

592
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how many times Aaron Rodgers ended up

593
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: getting sacked, but it was close to half a dozen. Yeah,

594
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: you want to know why they lost, right? They missed

595
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: a field goal? Yeah, I understand that. No, I just

596
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: said the problem was the quarterback was you know, honest,

597
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: But he can't win that way. And and right now,

598
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: you know there's only one team that's given up more

599
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: sacks than the Cowboys Giants. Well, no, they're tied with

600
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: the Giants, are they really? That's never good? Um? And

601
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: and look, Cleveland, not every sack on Dak is on

602
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: the line. I mean Dak sometimes. I think there's been

603
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: times where he'll tell you he's maybe he needs to

604
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: get rid of it, you know, but better job in

605
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: this last game offensively upfront? But why is he holding

606
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: onto it because there's probably no one open. Thirty two sacks,

607
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: the Giants thirty two sacks, Cleveland thirty five. That's no

608
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: way to win ball games. No, but we feel better

609
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: about the offense, right, I think, But he gave up.

610
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: We're not making that up, are we. But they gave

611
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: up four sacks last week now, a couple he ran

612
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: out of I think he ran. Yeah, no, he's gotta

613
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: throw the ball. He don't, don't. Don't be foolish, Yeah,

614
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: don't be foolish that way. So how many times has

615
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers been sacked this year? Well, I didn't see

616
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: what last night was he had. He was sacked five

617
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,719
Speaker 1: times last night, so he's at thirty two sacks. Now

618
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna look back on Aaron Rodgers' career and say

619
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: he didn't have enough help. One of the greatest we've

620
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: ever seen, but just didn't happening. Did you guys watch

621
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: the game last night? Did not a little bit, very

622
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: very little. If he dropped back the pass, the rush

623
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: was coming, he stepped up and it was like punt

624
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: pass and kicked. He just threw the ball as high

625
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: and as far as he could before he got smashed.

626
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: And I think it was Adams. Adams ran it down,

627
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: runs underneath it and catches it as the dB stumbling

628
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: like he had jumped like Ezekiel Elliott, and it's like,

629
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: how does that happen? A great quarterback? And I mean

630
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: it was a true hail Mary. You know how they

631
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: do the tour here and they say, how did how

632
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: did Roger Staubach complete that pass, he dropped back, closed

633
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: his eyes and set of hell Mary and threw it. No,

634
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: that's not quite the way it happened, But on that pass,

635
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: I think that's what Rodgers did. Nobody's thrown the hell

636
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: Mary better in the history of the league than Aaron Rodgers,

637
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: other than the guy who invented it. By the way,

638
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: he's getting his Medal of Freedom today, right Roger today,

639
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: I think it's today. Yeah, those the reports. Anyway, with

640
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 1: Babe Ruth he is, Yes, I don't think he's gonna

641
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 1: be there. I think he's got the candy bar. Babes

642
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: could be a little late today tracking himself up over

643
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: here this wait, you can go ahead, babe. Babe, Babe'll

644
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 1: be here a little later. We can mail his to him.

645
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: I think there was somebody else that there is another

646
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: athlete I can't remember. Former Vikings defensive lineman al ud Yes,

647
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: Alan Page, the great Alan Page. The people people Eaders

648
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: very good. Yeah, and so a great honor of a Rogers,

649
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely due. They stands beyond what he did on

650
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: the football. They have a ceremony like they show up

651
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: for That's what I read. Okay, it was supposed to

652
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: be there washing do this, don't you present puts it

653
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 1: around your neck and all that stuff. I think so, yeah,

654
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: I think so. And now that you mentioned Roger Stabock,

655
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: let me take you back to nineteen seventy one when

656
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 1: the Cowboys did the quarterback shuffle him and Craig Morton

657
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: Chicati three to nineteen loss that Soldier Field in Chicago,

658
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: and then Tom Landry decided that Stabok would be the

659
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: start of the rest of the year. And what the

660
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: Cowboys do the rest of the year, they won them all.

661
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: They want them all, ten straight wins to get to

662
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. And so the point the reason I

663
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: bring that up, so if it gets back, you know,

664
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: it gets back to not to Dak Prescott wedding, twelve

665
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: straight win of the Super Bowl, but the importance in

666
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: the second half of the year of getting on a roll.

667
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: And this is the time of the year right now

668
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: that if the Cowboy you know, they have this dream

669
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: that even with the reshuffling of the roster and all

670
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: that stuff, rebuilding whatever however you want to phrase it,

671
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: that they could still contend this year. Well, it's all

672
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: built for this right now, and they've got their destiny

673
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: in their hands right now, going into Atlanta this week

674
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 1: and then Washington and so forth, with what's happening in

675
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: this division. If they can get on a roll right

676
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: now now, my question is can they can they? We're

677
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: gonna find out. No, you got to give an answer here.

678
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: You gotta try and give an answer. I offensively, I

679
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: feel better about this. And I'm not saying the super Bowl.

680
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: I'm saying to get to the play How about to

681
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: win the division? Yeah? Right, Yes, I feel better about

682
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: their opportunities with the addition of Amari Cooper and the

683
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 1: change at the offensive line, coach, and I just hope,

684
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: I hope that we see a similar game plan. I

685
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: hope we see a similar more similar aggressiveness with the

686
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: way that things are working. And you know, and and

687
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: and I know the defense. They've they've leaned on this

688
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: defense all year. Now it's time for the offense in

689
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: the second half to pick things there. You're gonna be

690
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: in some games. You're gonna be in some games, and Bill,

691
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: you said it, You're gonna be in some games. You

692
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: can outscore Washington. Washington's proven to me that they can't

693
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: score points. They can't, but they're but they're playing a

694
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: great recipe of football, run and play defense. That's what

695
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: they you know, that's how you have to play. But

696
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: now it's time for Dallas to take advantage of adding

697
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper and some of these receivers stepping up, Michael

698
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 1: Gallups stepping up, you know, the offensive lineup. I love

699
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: the addition of Mark Colombo as the offensive line coach.

700
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: I think it brings a toughness to that group. And

701
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: maybe you found something with Sue Philo here playing the guard.

702
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna and Ezekiel at nice taste in his

703
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: mouth after last week, you know, get him going again,

704
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,479
Speaker 1: get him going where it's every week it's like, oh damn,

705
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: we have to deal with that. If you're an opponent,

706
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: you know, let's not be this back and forth, back

707
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: and forth, back and forth. Well you're not out there alone.

708
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: Because it was pointed out to me that Troy Aikman,

709
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 1: after setting the place on fire a week ago, basically

710
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: picked him to win the division this week. Well, I

711
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: mean it is Bill's right, it's possible. Look, I don't

712
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: know what to make of that. By the way, that's

713
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: kind of a one eight. I really I really don't know,

714
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: you know, And I scrapped the whole organization structure. I

715
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: love Troy Akman, I really don't. I didn't hear it,

716
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: but I was told that's what he I respect the

717
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: hell out of him. I think he does a great job,

718
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: but I'm I'm kind of one of those guys. It's

719
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: like a friend, you had a can of gas in

720
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: your hand, and now you're driving the fire truck to

721
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: the scene, you know, and you know. It's an example though,

722
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: of this league and how week to week it's it's

723
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 1: such a week to week and it seemed like after

724
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: that eight hours to forty eight hours, I know, I mean,

725
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: but okay, keep in mind that was a Monday night

726
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,919
Speaker 1: game Tennessee. He does his radio hit on Tuesday morning. Yeah,

727
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,959
Speaker 1: Troy Aman, in many ways is just like the rest

728
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 1: of us on the on the heels of a game

729
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: like that where the team just did not show up

730
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: in the second half of that game. You're sitting there going,

731
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: this whole organization needs to be bloomerless. Know. That was interesting.

732
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: Then you turn around on Sunday night at Philadelphia and

733
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: you win, and and then you look at what else

734
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,720
Speaker 1: is going on in the division and wait a second,

735
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: because they can be in first place by Thanksgiving night.

736
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: He's right, like Philly plays, But I would respected him

737
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: if he wouldn't have gone for the flip. Right. Well,

738
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: I mean I don't think. I don't think you could

739
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 1: be that extreme. But his most recent point is right.

740
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no question. But you know if that

741
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: was his original point, hey, no, which even after how

742
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: bad Dallas played on Monday night, and he would have

743
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: come out and said, nah, Dallas can still win the division.

744
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: Maybe he's maybe he believes both things, you know, like

745
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: this is a bad division. They may go win this division.

746
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 1: But I think that's why you went and got that receiver. Yeah,

747
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: it is why, Which is why as a coaching staff

748
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: and his players whatever, you got to keep your wits

749
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: about you as you go along through this thing because

750
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: there's more division games, there's valleys, there's you know, mountains,

751
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: and you know it's a roller coaster Philly, for it

752
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: can be. You try to limit the roller coaster you

753
00:39:56,440 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: want to, you know, just be on a upward a cent.

754
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: Philly plays the Saints. Yes, Houston's at Washington. The Giants

755
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: have got Tampa. I think at home big game in Atlanta.

756
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: You can all of a sudden Yeah, you can drop

757
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 1: for some major ground and then play with division leaders

758
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving, regardless of what happened obvious here today. I

759
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: know it's every They're all must win. I guess no, no, no,

760
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to. I wasn't getting on you about that,

761
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: but yeah, it must win. I mean I said it

762
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,439
Speaker 1: in my with my captain obvious grin on my face.

763
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: It is a huge game. Absolutely, it's a huge game.

764
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: Lose this game over No, but it's the odds decrease significantly,

765
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: and plus it plus it pokes the air out of

766
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 1: the balloon that you just blew up last week. You know,

767
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: are we are? We do for a letdown? Then? After

768
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: being so feeling so good about this football team all week?

769
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: What did you say last week? That's why you have

770
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 1: to be playing consistently? Yeah, Brian, why did you pick

771
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,479
Speaker 1: the Cowboys last week? Because I was desperate and Mickey

772
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: and I won an award for fighting about that on

773
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: the Happy Hour Show. But see, there's my point. You

774
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 1: can't be emotionally up and down and up and down

775
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: and oh my back's halfway through the wall. Now I

776
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,399
Speaker 1: gotta play harder. You gotta play hard every week. Yeah,

777
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: and you can't. That's what I was trying. You weren't

778
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: listening to me. You gotta be If my point was

779
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: you have to emotionally you have no no to me

780
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: that you have to play consistently. You know to me,

781
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 1: he's not wrong, he's not wrong. But I also understand though,

782
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 1: that you have to have you have to have that

783
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 1: in your mind. Now, I think maybe what I misunderstood

784
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: you you were saying more Mickey that night, was more

785
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,800
Speaker 1: about you can't give that same speech, right right, You

786
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: can't come in the locker But I'm and say, Okay,

787
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: we gotta go. We don't win this game, and then

788
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 1: you win in the next week, you come in and go, oh,

789
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,439
Speaker 1: we gotta win this game, because I think you can't

790
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: do that every I think the players have to have

791
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: that feeling in them though, Well they should have it

792
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: every week when you're zero and zero, well they're four

793
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: and five. Well if that's almost zero zero. If they don't,

794
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: if they don't feel that this week, then shame on them.

795
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: But their their season is clearly on the line. But

796
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: you know what, if you go in that locker room,

797
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,399
Speaker 1: that's what they were saying. We're focusing on Atlanta. Last
