Let's start. 36 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: Let's start with news and those that stacks all right, 37 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: news and notes. Pretty clean injury report for the Cowboys. 38 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: We've covered the names already. Zeke was and they did 39 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: a walk through yesterday because Isaiah GPS numbers. It's a 40 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: different time in era these days. Um GPS numbers. Yeah, 41 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy says, they're GPS numbers. A lot of guys 42 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,119 Speaker 1: on the team were through the roof in the Washington game, 43 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: so gell it back a little bit, back a little bit, 44 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: so I would imagine a more normal practice today. They 45 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: were inside yesterday turned out because of the wind. It 46 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: looks like they're gonna be outside today. Zeke was a 47 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: full participant, so was Um. I'm blanking, I'm blanking. Tony 48 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: Pollter did not practice, and it sounded like Mike thought 49 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: he would. Yeah, he did not participate in the walk through. 50 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: Who's working off the side during the open portion. Sean 51 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: mcun was a full participant. I believe he's dealing with 52 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: a nick Yeah, okay. And Tyron Smith did not practice 53 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: obviously with the ankle injury. So that's all they got 54 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: on the active roster right now. It's pretty good. It's 55 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: a short list. It's definitely guys that you're thinking maybe 56 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: there's something more to that, or at least with Tony Pollard, 57 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: it's that's a big miss in a couple of different areas. 58 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: But outside of the fact that it's not a very 59 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: long list. You have to feel pretty good about it. Yeah, yeah, 60 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: we'll see what Tony can do today. They sound, I 61 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: would say, maybe cautiously optimistic. But if you can't get 62 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: into practice this week, I don't. I don't know if 63 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: he would go again this week. So basically you're thinking 64 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: limit today, if he's going to try and find his 65 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: way back or if he's not on the field today, 66 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: do you think he's probably going to be out this way? 67 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: I mean, Mike always says take it up to Saturday, 68 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: but I think, yeah, this would be an important day. 69 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: Of the fact that he did not participate in the 70 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: walk through, it was kind of strange, I don't. I mean, 71 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: you know, Mike thought he would do something, but I 72 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: guess maybe they just want to focus more on the 73 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: rehap stuff with Britt yesterday and today's more of a 74 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: padded practice, more of a full deal should be. I'm 75 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: not sure if it's padded, but yeah, more of a 76 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: full practice, gotcha? Gotcha? Well, hopefully you get at least 77 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 1: one of those two guys fully healthy and ready to go. 78 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: We talked about the possibility of sitting Zeke yesterday, and 79 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: I feel like that was probably the most hot button 80 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: topic on social media yesterday was I mean, I feel 81 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: like my mentions I don't know about you guys, was 82 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: filled with fans either expressing concern of one game's not 83 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: enough for saying no, their competitors get after it in play. 84 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: So it's definitely a debate amongst Cowboys Nation. But anything 85 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: changed for you guys if Tony Pollard's not available either, 86 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: because we talked about it a little bit yesterday. But 87 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: the more I sat on it, the more I thought 88 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: Corey Clement and Jaquan Hardy does not make me feel 89 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: comfortable with this run game period. However, maybe not a 90 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: healthy Zeke doesn't really make me feel that great either. 91 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: Up at the top of the depth chart, I say, 92 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: sit them. You haven't having budget, I having Budge, not 93 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: one bit. I don't have as many followers as you. 94 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: I think I have five, and I think I got 95 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: one person that mentioned this, So I'm at like twenty 96 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: percentile right now. Wow. Man, But I think, just like 97 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: I staid yesterday, I believe that Dak and TP they 98 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: both need to sit their buzz down right. I'm not 99 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: coming at their willingness to play. I'm talking about the 100 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: training staff and the coaching staff, their decision makers need 101 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: to take it upon themselves to take those guys competitiveness 102 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: out of this particular game and ensure that they can 103 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: get as healthy as can be going into the next week, 104 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: because we already know TP's injury that's not going to 105 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: get better by wearing, wearing and tearing. Obviously, he's not 106 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: even in walked through. Okay, now you got Zeke. We've 107 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: seen what happens with Zeke over these past few weeks. 108 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: He's not Zeke and that's no fault to him. He's injured. 109 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: He's not hurt. He is injured. There's a big difference. 110 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: He is playing through an injury, and every time he 111 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: takes a shot on that particular portion of his body, 112 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,559 Speaker 1: he feels it and he has to go off the field. 113 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: He now, what's that takes place? He now is really 114 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: good to simply just pass blocking and we don't need 115 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: Zeke out there as just a pass blocker when he 116 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: could be usiizing that time to get healthier, and he's 117 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: gonna continue wearing a brace on that knee, right, Yeah, 118 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: got what news was coming out yesterday? Yeah, he says 119 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: the first time he's worn a brace since high school 120 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: and it actually helped him out. It didn't really constrict 121 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: him that much. Yeah, he did say this is the 122 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: best I felt in a while. So he said last week, 123 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to drag me off the field. You know. 124 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 1: That's one other thing he has said recently is he 125 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: thinks in a few weeks this will get back to 126 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I don't know. I mean, it's something 127 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: obviously that's affecting him, but I don't see him not 128 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: playing in this game. And I would I would play 129 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: anybody who's healthy enough to play in this game to 130 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: try to offensively, to try to get everybody back rolling again. 131 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: And this is an opportunity we'll get into it where 132 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: I think maybe they can get the running game going 133 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: this week. What do you think now, you did say 134 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: that you don't trust Corey Clement and this offense. Are 135 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: you saying that you feel much better with obviously, Yeah, 136 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: obviously feel better with the starters, even maybe a hampered 137 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: Zeke over those two guys. Yeah. And I think in 138 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: place of Tony Pollard and everything he's going through with 139 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: the Plantar, the Corey Clement, to me, especially in these 140 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: games right here, I feel comfortable with him, uh, you know, 141 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: coming in to spell Zeke. I think he has some 142 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: really good runs. I look for him to have better 143 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: production against the Giants if they decide to sit Pollard. 144 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: I think Pollard is the X factor in our running 145 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: game right now, change a pace that we definitely will 146 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: need going into the playoffs. Whatever's being said about Zeke, 147 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: I think I leave it up to Britt Brown and 148 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: all the people that have said so many wonderful things 149 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: about him as a trainer this staff, and then protecting players, 150 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: and with the way that this team has talked about 151 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy as a coach, they labeled him as a 152 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: players coach, and I guess that's a good sign from 153 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: your team, just basically saying that he looks out for us. 154 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: I don't see him putting Zeke in a situation that 155 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: if it wasn't gonna get any better, he had any 156 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: chances of hurting himself, he wouldn't be playing. So, I mean, 157 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: we talked about that at length yesterday. But this running 158 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: game going over the next four going into the next 159 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: four games, we've got to get some type of synergy 160 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: going with that because we haven't had much. Now, do 161 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: you think the offensive line up front is better suited 162 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: this week, with the exception of Tyren Smith. If they 163 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: were to go with Connor Williams at establishing the run game, well, 164 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: I mean, come on now, just be honest with yourself 165 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: when you know Connor McGovern hasn't given you much better 166 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: than what Connor Williams was given before, and he struggled 167 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: last game. If you just watch him, he you know, 168 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: a lot of the pressure that was in Dak's face 169 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: was coming right over the top of that left tackle position. 170 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: We still have to play Philly, and if you guys 171 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: don't remember, we had some problems with them upfront as well, 172 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: even though hey, they may not be a game with 173 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: much ramification, but when you go into the playoffs, look, 174 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: the front of your offensive line right now is struggling. 175 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: And if they don't want to give credence to that, 176 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: at least look at the film and see how Beatish 177 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: and mcgovernor are struggling the last three games. After this 178 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: Giant's game, Washington's front still gonna be nasty. Yeah, the 179 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: Cardinals front definitely nast And then of course you've got 180 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles, who we have seen that so far 181 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: You're right, this is the one week where you feel 182 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: like you have an opportunity to set your stage for 183 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: the final three games on your offensive line. And Jerry 184 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: Jones talked about it on the fan earlier in the week, 185 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: speaking to there's got to be some sort of continuity here, 186 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: There's got to be some sort of thought process, comfort level, 187 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: and they don't have that right now at the offensive line. Yeah, 188 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: Mike said something interesting a couple of days ago where, 189 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 1: because he's been mister Continuity, like you could just give 190 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: him that nick name, so well, yeah, would I say 191 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 1: complimentary drink or yea one, either one. He wants continuity 192 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: on his offensive line. In fact, he went as far 193 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: as say, last year, when everybody broach the idea of, hey, 194 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: everybody's banged up, maybe kick Zach Martin at the right tackle, 195 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: he called that fantasy football nonsense. Now they've switched a 196 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: lot around the line this year, and he did say 197 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: recently that like, yes, continuity's important, but in so many 198 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: words like you got to have the production too, So 199 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: he's not opposed to switching things around if they need 200 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: to find the right mix. They're still looking for that 201 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: right mix. They have not figured it out since I 202 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: don't know, four or five weeks ago, and part of 203 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: its injuries, you know, and there's tiring out again, so 204 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: you're just gonna have to make do on the left side. 205 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: Where does it change in that mindset come from in 206 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: a coaching staff in regards to what going from one 207 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: year of saying, hey, there's an entire thought process of 208 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: having the same five guys, same five was the big 209 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: cat topic of the conversation last year, and then this 210 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: year it's let's just pick and chooes back and forth. 211 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: If you're if those five guys aren't getting it done, 212 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: then everything's on the table because your job as a 213 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: coach is to put the best product on the field. 214 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: You could argue they didn't get it done last year, 215 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: though everybody was getting sniped last year. I mean last 216 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 1: year was just like, man, I don't even know what 217 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: you want to call that. But if you're not being successful, 218 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean continue to beat your head against the wall. 219 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: That means continue to try to find a way to 220 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: be competitive. You know, there's a culture of competitiveness now 221 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: within this organization. So if you're not doing your job 222 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: efficiently and effectively so that everybody else around you can 223 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: be successful, then you're you are in a position where 224 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: you can lose your spot. So that's exactly what happened 225 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: with Connor Williams. He brought in his Connor Bro. Connor 226 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: Bro came in and connor Bro got beat up too. 227 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: You know, I think we saw that last game he 228 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 1: was getting he was getting got driven into the backfield. 229 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: So guess what now, you're not doing what you need 230 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: to do. So we're going back to connor Bro number one. Okay, 231 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: he'll possibly right and he could be having an opportunity 232 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,599 Speaker 1: that he lost originally and hopefully he won't want to 233 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: lose that opportunity again. So that's that's just the position 234 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: that you're in, and I think that's how you change 235 00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 1: that mindset. Mike has said the status he's big stat 236 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: analytics guy. You win more games when you've got the 237 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: same five all season long. The continuity on the offensive 238 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: line is maybe more important than anything. But it's easier 239 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: to say continuity five years ago when you got Travis 240 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: Frederick as your center and Tyron's not missing games and 241 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: Lyle's not suspended all pro games. Yeah, seriously, and then 242 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: don't let's not forget Lyle Collins had to sit a 243 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: few games with the suspension, so it just hasn't been 244 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: the normal deal. And it's and they are young up 245 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: the middle too. You just want to drive a steak 246 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: into the heart of all Cowboys fans of reminding them 247 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: the days of old of this offensive line. I mean, 248 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: they were that was as dominant an offensive line since 249 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: the nineties. Are you and Isaiah was on the team 250 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: in the midots, are you saying that this offensive line 251 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: isn't the same old Cowboys offensive line. I think they're 252 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: in transition in a couple of spots. I think they're 253 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: still very good in certain spots that Zack Martin is 254 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: a probably a future Hall of Fame and Tyron Smith 255 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 1: is still very good when he's healthy. But they're young 256 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: in a couple of spots, and they're still trying to 257 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: figure things out. And they've even tried to figure out 258 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: the right tackle position because Lyle has missed so much 259 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: time due to injury the last couple of years. It's 260 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: been a line more in transition than the stability that 261 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: they enjoy us when Garrett was here. It's Lyle's time 262 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: coming to a close in a Cowboys uniform. No, No, no, 263 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: I don't believe. So. I believe that Lyle has an 264 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: opportunity over these we talk about the next four games 265 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: to solidify himself and get maybe out of the doghouse 266 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: from some of the coaches. I think his reputation may 267 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 1: have taken a hit with what happened the suspension, But 268 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: you saw him being a missing piece last year. Let's 269 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: not fool ourselves. Man still did the best he could 270 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: last year and we saw the same musical chairs of 271 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: the offensive line. That continuity take a drink didn't happen 272 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: last year and we're seeing a lot of it happened 273 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: this year. But still going back to Tyrn Smith, Look, man, 274 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: he's when healthy, he's the best in the business, period 275 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: all right. And there are a lot of people obviously 276 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 1: when the draft show starts, that's where they're gonna pinpoint, Hey, 277 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: we need to start getting the tackle in that transition 278 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: that you're talking about. Maybe it's time to start thinking 279 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: about the air apparent to that position. But right now, man, 280 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: I just like making this run getting guys healthy. We've 281 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: gone through this season without giving any credence to how 282 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: much this offensive line has been hurting in certain positions. 283 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: That's what sucks. I think about this specific instance because 284 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: you said when healthy. I hate that asterisk because Tyren 285 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: Smith has not been healthy and that's a not just 286 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: a twenty twenty one deal, that's over the last five 287 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: six years of his career. But you're right, number two 288 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: rated pass blocker in all of football when he is 289 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: available and ready to go, and that's what you're missing 290 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: whenever he's not available. I mean that it doesn't get 291 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: much better than that. I am going to disagree with 292 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: my young cello over here, mister oak Cliff. I believe 293 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: that that guy that Colin's job is ons on Rocky 294 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: Rocky Road right now, and a reason being is because 295 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: the inconsistency. I think the reason being because of what 296 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: happened with his appeal and all that jazz. And then 297 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: also when you look at the comments last week, the 298 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: might post a question to Jerry Jones and said, Hey, 299 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: you know who's gonna be playing right tackle? Iss gonna 300 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: Still it's gonna because I don't really care who's out there. 301 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: I'm kind of paraphrasing, right, he said, I don't really 302 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: in so many words, I don't really care. It doesn't 303 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: matter to me, Like, oh, that's not what Jerry would 304 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: say about Collins in the bast right. So that leads 305 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: me to believe that if there, if he's if he's 306 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: able to comment that easily in response to a question 307 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: and not say that, hey, Carl, you're not as Collins 308 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: for sure, that's mine, that's my guy. He said, it 309 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: doesn't really matter to me. Oh now, lets you know 310 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: that your job's up for position for graps. Yeah, I 311 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: don't know if perception is always reality in a situation 312 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: like that. With what he said, all I'm saying is, 313 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: if you look over the league and you look in college, 314 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: it offensive linemen don't grow on trees. They're not the 315 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: easiest to find, especially guys that can run block. Leo 316 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: Collins is a strong, able right tackle. He's had his 317 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: struggles coming back from the labroom surgery, but he is 318 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: not a talent that I'm willing to say just because 319 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: you had this problem, we're gonna toss or you know, 320 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: reading between the lines of what's being said about him. 321 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the production on the field. He's had 322 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: some struggles, as they all have had struggles. We've even 323 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: seen Zach Barton, the guy that we say is a 324 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer straight up have struggles this year. So look, 325 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: I'm just looking at it from this approach. Let's get 326 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: these guys, let's get time and Smith healthy, and let's 327 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: make a run. All right. That's that's my whole thing. 328 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: And if Leo Collins is a part of the conversation 329 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: next year, then obviously we'll start talking about that next year. 330 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: But right now, right now, you know we have him. 331 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: I think y'all both right, because I think go back 332 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: to Thanksgiving Day and Mike McCarthy said that Terrence still 333 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: had earned the right to start it right tackle, So 334 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: I mean there's a competition there, but I'm I'm with 335 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: Heck in terms of like going forward. I don't know 336 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: what the cap situation would be if if they were 337 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: to move on from Lyle Collins. But to me, with 338 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: tiring with those those injuries. This is a popular topic 339 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: this week, along with is Michael Parsons the next LT? 340 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: That's wrong with Dak? Those are the three things. What 341 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: do you do with tyring an offensive tackle next year? Yeah, 342 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: I'd look at draft in that position for some death. 343 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: Keep developing Terres Steel. How about Lyle Collins taking some 344 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: reps at left tackle? Starting way back in the spring 345 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: and get him ready to be available on that side, 346 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: because yeah, because I mean, he's a Vet. You know, 347 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: he's a vet that could play that position, has played 348 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: that position in his life, just not in the NFL. No, 349 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: that's a really good point because if you want to 350 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: look at that continuity, take a drink. Moving forward, you 351 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: feel like there's an opportunity there for maybe Lyle Collins 352 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: to fit into that spot left tackle, not left guard 353 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: either one I just makes following as left. I'm just thinking, 354 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: you know, if you're trying to shore up that position 355 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: knowing because to me, Tyrn Smith is the starting left 356 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: tackle again next year, but he has miss games every 357 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: season since twenty fifteen. So have him ready, have have 358 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: Lyle ready more ready to play that position? I think, 359 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,239 Speaker 1: you know, maybe this year they're just trying to get 360 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: him back from the injury last year and then came 361 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: to the suspension all that. You know, let's maybe give 362 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: him an opportunity on the left side. That's just me talking. 363 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: I like that idea either either or honestly, I would 364 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: put him in left guard if if you had more time, 365 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: if you had an offseason to train him into that 366 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 1: and get him ready for that. I would put him 367 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: in left guard, but that's just me playing fantasy football 368 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: like my You know, all right, when we come back, 369 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: what's wrong with dak it's a hot, hot button topic. 370 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 1: We're going to talk about it when we come back 371 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: on Talking Cowboys.

The Cowboys are planning to submit a proposal 434 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: detailing what a combine in North Texas would look like 435 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three NFL combine. They want to host it 436 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: here at the Star in Frisco. That would make me 437 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 1: really upset. Yeah, I would love it for for Cowboys 438 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,239 Speaker 1: fans that are here because the combine is a lot 439 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: of fun and I'm hoping that there that brings a 440 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: level of fan engagement. But as somebody who loves Indianapolis, 441 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: I would be late. I'd be pretty sad. Dude, this 442 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: is a boon. This would be a boon for the Star. No, 443 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: it's huge. I'm not saying. I'm saying for myself, for 444 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: me personally, for everyone, that's a Cowboys fan. It is phenomenal. 445 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: I think it'll be really Jerry listening to the show, righty, 446 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: what's what's up with you in your love? Yeah? Why Candy? 447 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: I like that trip, going out there, going out there 448 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: for the combine. You were in a common mine and 449 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: you were in probably the medical checks for half of 450 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: the week's exactly, and then I had to go back. 451 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: You had to you had the injury coming in. It 452 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: was me and Adrian Peterson sleeping back to back waiting 453 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: for MRI. Look like it was god fun. That's interesting. Yeah, see, 454 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: not as much fun for you, no more fun for us? Yeah, yeah, 455 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: for sure. You just want to go back to Saint 456 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: Almos huh oh, yeah, so bad. Don't even mention that. 457 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 1: That made me even more upset. That place is awesome. 458 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: So we went there. That was the steakhouse, right yeah. 459 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: So during the Super Bowl we our offense went to 460 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: dinner at that place. But we had to walk from 461 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: the hotel down to the Saint Almos or whatever the 462 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,719 Speaker 1: place is called, down the middle of the street. Can 463 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 1: you imagine trying to walk the entire Giants offense football 464 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: team all the way all the way down there and 465 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: we're all all the office of Linemen are like surrounded 466 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: around ELI and try to block people off from getting 467 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: the ELI. It was hilarious. It was. Yeah, you got 468 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: a lot of large humans walking out the middle of 469 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: the street. That's what it's like walking David Hellman down this. 470 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: I believe it out there. I believe we got to 471 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: walk into the parking lot. Same not so much, not 472 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: so much. You know what. It's it makes sense that 473 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: the Cowboys would be in the mix here because Dallas 474 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: Century located just like Indianapolis, middle of the country, Baylor, 475 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 1: Scott and White right here. They got the medical facilities. 476 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's cool that they want to get 477 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,239 Speaker 1: in on this. And they've got the hotel, they've got 478 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: the entertainment. There's so many different things to do, and 479 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: they've got like four different fields they can work off of. 480 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: It would be an ideal place for the Star and 481 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: at the stadium, at the stadium, the Star, it would 482 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: be right outside these perfect Oh, it would be awesome. Yeah, 483 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: it'd be phenomenal height right there. That's awesome. Yeah, So 484 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: that's that's interesting. And the other one was that the 485 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: fact that the Cowboys signed a deal to become the 486 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: second Earth. Mexico is now the second home of the 487 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. That's a lot of exciting things off the field. 488 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: As for on the field, what's going on with this 489 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: offense and what are they going to look like against 490 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: the Giants defense? So HECKMA, when you've been diving into 491 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 1: the film this week and looking at the Giants defense 492 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: going up against the Cowboys offense, where do you feel 493 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: like they can get back on track quickest the run 494 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: game or through the year. I think both. I think 495 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 1: this is a this is a game where you can 496 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: get them both going. But I particularly would enjoy the 497 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: running game getting back on track. I think that would 498 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 1: answer a lot of the questions that we've been contemplating 499 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: about this team. But running game is going to be first. 500 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: I think they have a lot of guys that are 501 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: heard up front, Austin Johnston, Lennard Williams, a lot of 502 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: questionable guys, a lot of guys that are out on 503 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: ir Just team just does not look the same anymore 504 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: roster wise. UM. Look, I just feel as though for 505 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: all of the criticism that Dak has been getting. UM 506 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: obviously we've talked a lot about the offensive line, We've 507 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: talked a lot about the running game, the miscommunication that's 508 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 1: going on with the receivers, and and I really, Isaiah, 509 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: I think when when you look at this team and 510 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 1: just the simple high school read option routes, you know, 511 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: the combo routes, things like that that you see. Even 512 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,120 Speaker 1: on the one where you were saying where Dak threw 513 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: it into coverage it look bad, that was actually a 514 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: read about Michael Gallup. He was supposed to run the 515 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: slant that on that route. Where is How is it 516 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: that now, at this point in the season that these 517 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 1: wide receivers were starting to have miscommunication. I can't say 518 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 1: is it practice or just not having the same guys 519 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: on the field and not understand the X, Y and 520 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: Z position. Yeah, I don't I don't know. I really 521 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: can't stand on a pedestal right now and say that 522 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,239 Speaker 1: they're having miscommunication. I don't want to stand on there 523 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 1: and say that because I don't know all the ins 524 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: and outs of what happens in that locker room in 525 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: the meeting rooms. But I do know that the running 526 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 1: game they're lack thereof is having a major effect over 527 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 1: this offense's development. And I went back and I watched 528 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: I think like four or five games last night and 529 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: went back to the Tampa game. I went back to 530 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: the New England game, just some of the better statistical 531 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 1: games for the offense and DAC and I also went 532 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: back and looked at some of the not so good 533 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: games as well, where he had fifty some odd qbr rading. 534 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: But I went back and looked at those things, and 535 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: I looked at it in what I'm going to what 536 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to say coming over to our side, what 537 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 1: I'm going to say is not going to be received 538 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: well by most. Say it with you. As I go 539 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 1: back and look at the games, even going back to 540 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: week one, Dak and I'm saying this in the bad 541 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: I can stand. I can say this, Dak was not 542 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: the most accurate guy on Earth. And I look at hit, 543 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: the velocity of his balls, a lot of the it 544 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: is going back before the calf injury too. So I 545 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: was trying to walk about I'm talking about game one 546 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, I'm talking about New England game, talking about 547 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 1: all these you know, all the games where he was 548 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: quote unquote balling out. I'm looking at the balls. The 549 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: balls are dying out, the receivers are making great plays, 550 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: they're making great catches. Opportunities were missed in terms of location, 551 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: and I'm looking I'm like, okay, so that's when he 552 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: was having good games, and I wouldn't looked at the 553 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: bad games. I'm like, it's more of the same. The 554 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 1: mechanics weren't really weren't that much different, right, His release 555 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: point is a little bit higher now in terms of 556 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: not finishing the throw. Okay, he's releasing it higher and 557 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: not really pulling it down to be able to get 558 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 1: that thing on track like we saw last game with 559 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: the intercept in the Callus. But mechanically and fundamentally is 560 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: his footwork isn't much different. His drive off his back 561 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 1: leg isn't much different, his delivery is. He has all 562 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: the same mechanics. So I'm looking at I'm like, what 563 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: the heck is different New England majority, I don't have 564 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: an exact percentage. Majority of the passes in the New 565 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: England game came off a play action. Majority of the 566 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: plays that they had passing wise that were successful came 567 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: off a play action. And the reason why those plays 568 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: open themselves up is because of what the running game. 569 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: So as I dive more into this this running game 570 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: is having a greater effect on Dak than we are 571 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: led to believe because Dak hasn't been the most accurate 572 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: passer that his statistics are gonna say something different. Yeah, 573 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: I'm talking about in terms of just being detailed as 574 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: a quarterback, delivery, location of the ball. His receivers have 575 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: been making plays and there have been a lot of 576 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: missed opportunities because of his lack of velocity and accuracy. 577 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: That's I'm just standing and say that. No, And I 578 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: think you have a fantastic point, because we talked about 579 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: it on this show following the Tampa Bay game and 580 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: we kind of got killed for it. But you would 581 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: normally think it would be reversed, right, You would think 582 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: that the rust of of coming off of an injury 583 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: and kind of finding a groove would have happened in 584 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: weeks one through seven. Well, weeks one through seven they 585 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: were the number one offense far and above in all 586 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: of football. So why is it now that that's the point? 587 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: And I think you brought up the point of the 588 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: run game not being strong, not being what it was. 589 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: I think it does. I think it does have an 590 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: effect on Dak Prescott moving forward. Yeah, there's more pressure 591 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: on him too. Um, when you're in second more and 592 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: second and longs more, third and longs. Is you know 593 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: the third down percentage has been really bad the last 594 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: five games, and I think it is related to the 595 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: run game. So um, and I think, look like the 596 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: gentleman from Wyoming crushed us, not crushed us, but he 597 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: got after us. And I don't think I don't think 598 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: this show is making excuses for Dak Prescott. I think 599 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: we've said he made some really bad decisions in the game. Obviously, 600 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: two picks in the game. He's got to make, you know, 601 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: cleaner plays in the passing game, no question about it. 602 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: But we talked about the offensive line, the protection, establishing 603 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, getting the run game going. Mike 604 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: McCarthy said, on the last interception where Dalton Schultz was open, 605 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: the spacing with the wide receivers wasn't as good as 606 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: it should have been. You mentioned one miss play there 607 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: Saints game, Ceedee Lamb didn't run the right route. Apparently 608 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: they would have had a touchdown the first quarter. Brian 609 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: Baldinger's an independent media guy, and he broke it down. 610 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: He said, there's a lot of other stuff offensively, that's 611 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: not going right, in addition to the fact that Dad 612 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: can play better. So it's a lot of things. I'm 613 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: not afraid to be called an excuse maker though, just 614 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: because you're pointing out that there's other things in addition 615 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: to Hey, quarterback that by the way, and everybody wants 616 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: to point this out. He makes forty million a year. 617 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: He's got to play better. Yes he does. No the criticism, 618 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: and I think he would welcome the criticism. We're nine 619 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: to four, all right, We're at the top of the division. 620 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: I love having that as the thought process and not 621 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: like last year when we was like, oh, we've got 622 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: a three game win streak, but we were three and nine. No, 623 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: it's the opposite. We're nine and four. We're a little upset. 624 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: And and to the people that obviously don't want to 625 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: use the statistics and where we are offensively second in 626 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: the league total on offense rushing, that everything that's missing. 627 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: Were six in the league in rushing. Here's my problem 628 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: with the criticism of Dak and I feel like it 629 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: becomes heavily subjective as it goes along, and everyone starts 630 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: to move the goalposts whether they want to take a 631 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: sample size of five games, six games, whatever it is. 632 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: Right now, he's still on pace to have a four 633 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: thousand passing season. Even with all of that, you go 634 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: back to his first season in the league, he's thirteen 635 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: and three. You get a home field advantage and a 636 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: buy Obviously we lose the Green Bay in that game, 637 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: but still a lot of that was due to the 638 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: quarterback play. A lot of people want to say he 639 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: was an overglorified bus driver, but still Rookie of the 640 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: Year accolades all of those seven multiple seven games with 641 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns, and he's on He built on that over 642 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: the season. Mechanics be damn it. This what I'm saying. 643 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: He's one of those guys that has to work harder 644 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: than most because of where he was drafted to be 645 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: better or even be considered amongst the elite in this league. 646 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: But he shown you time and time again, even with 647 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: people that just want to say, oh, his leadership skills 648 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: are just uncanny. Now he is. As far as fourth 649 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: quarter comebacks, he's one of the best in Cowboys history. Okay, 650 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: so something about Dak Prescott has earned him the right 651 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: to be the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, but also 652 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: all of the criticism that comes with saying, well, you 653 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: know what, Kelly just needs to take some of those 654 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: audibles away from him and just call the play and 655 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: he has to run the play. You wouldn't say that 656 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: about Aaron Rodgers. You wouldn't say that about any of 657 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: the other court Patrick Mahomes, You wouldn't throw that out there. 658 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: Nobody would say, oh, well, Dak he said he looks 659 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: a little overwhelm. Since when since when, you know, from 660 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 1: from what? Taking over this seam for tone Romo and 661 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: keeping him on the bench overwhelmed? Then I'm just i mean, 662 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: come on, but but look, Tony, he was awesome. I'm 663 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: not saying it, no shade it, Tony, but I'm just 664 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: saying everything that he's done, Why now when you get 665 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: to this point is oh, he's broken. There's something we 666 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: need to think about about did he really deserve it? 667 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: Everything is moving back and forth, but nobody gives creatius 668 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: to the numbers that he has and what is scheduled, 669 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: what the nine and four record is right now? And 670 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: it's always been that way for Dak too. Why it 671 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: was that way for Tony too going back as well, 672 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: because not as much for Dad, but also Dak Prescott 673 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: the contract deal. That's what has everybody up in arms, 674 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 1: is because there was a solid contingency of people that 675 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: didn't believe that he had earned that right. I wasn't 676 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 1: one of those. I wanted to pay Dak. I agree 677 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: with everything you just said, but now it's an opportunity 678 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: to say, hai, I told you so as quickly as 679 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: they can. But it's too early. It's way too early 680 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: for them. Everybody here believes Dak's gonna get back on track, right. 681 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: It made as soon as this week. They had a 682 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: season high forty four points against the Giants the first 683 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 1: time around. They also ran the hell out of the 684 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,319 Speaker 1: ball in that game two yards on the ground two one, 685 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: and Giants have not defended the run as well as 686 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 1: most teams in the league this year just by the stats. 687 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: So maybe this is it. But that brings me to 688 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,839 Speaker 1: my next question of how imperative is it for them 689 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: to get back on track this week because of what 690 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,879 Speaker 1: they know as ahead of them the final three weeks 691 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: of the year. They have to Yeah, and that's I mean, 692 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 1: I don't have any any rebuttal to anything that heck 693 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: was said in terms of stats and the records. And 694 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: that's all fine, and Danny that my thinking. I'm I'm 695 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 1: very analytical. I'm analytical with myself, I'm analytical with anybody else. 696 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: Is actually my job to be analytical? Right, Yeah, big 697 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: stats guy, I've been. I've said for a long time. 698 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: I've spoken in regards to Dak's accuracy, even going back 699 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: to when I said Andy Dalton is a more accurate 700 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: pastor all the say. I stand behind all those things 701 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: that I've said previously. Again, as I go back and 702 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 1: I watched this film, there these are his guy are 703 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: making plays, and there are a lot of balls that 704 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: were falling as incomplete back then that are no longer 705 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 1: falling as incomplete. They're now falling as interceptions. And the 706 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 1: luck that you had early on with those early mistakes, 707 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 1: you're not getting as lucky anymore. Compound that with the 708 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: fact that you don't have a running game now. Defenses 709 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: now have enough film to know what frustrates you and 710 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 1: what causes you more issues if they know that you're 711 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: not throwing as accurately as you possibly could can be right, 712 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: if they know that you're now having a lack of confidence? 713 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: Was he he has right now? Believe he doesn't have 714 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: the confidence that he had when he was balling. It's 715 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: just not there. Hopefully gets that back this week. Right, 716 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 1: players go up and down with their confidence. He right now, 717 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: he's not that confident. Wise, they compound that with the 718 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 1: fact that they know he's not confident. They're going to 719 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: present problems to him, and those opportunities are going to 720 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 1: become more plentiful. They're going to start taking more advantage 721 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 1: of those opportunities to balls that were falling over their heads. 722 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: Now Collins is jumping up and grabbing them. Right, there 723 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 1: should have been two more interceptions in that particular game 724 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: against Washington where he threw it right in guy's chest, 725 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 1: not even just guys had to go make plays, right. 726 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 1: I've talked about how some guys earned interception and some 727 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: guys just fall into him. There was two right there 728 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 1: that guys really could have just fell into. I go 729 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 1: back to those games where he was bawling and there 730 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: was still those same things were popping up and they 731 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: were just falling in completely. Nobody looks at him. But 732 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: do you validate the drops by the absolutely know that 733 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: the drops are the drops have to stop. Yeah, the 734 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 1: drops have to stop there. I'd take no responsibility off 735 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 1: of those guys. There's been a lot of drops, a 736 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: lot of jobs. CD's had a lot of drops. Noah 737 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: Browns had a lot of drops. These guys are dropping, 738 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: and they're dropping him in key situations. So that is 739 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 1: the city game sticks at him. Absolutely. Yeah. No, this 740 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 1: is to Rob's point, and we said this yesterday too. 741 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: This is not just a Dak problem. This is not it. 742 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 1: This is an officive line not blocking up getting too 743 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: many dog on pressures in Dak's face. This is not 744 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,839 Speaker 1: our an unhealthy backfield where the guys can't run the ball. 745 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,280 Speaker 1: This is guys dropping the ball. This is a quarterback 746 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 1: not throwing the ball accurately right. Maybe though some of 747 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: those drops are coming because they're on the back shoulder, 748 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: and when he does throwing on the money, they drop 749 00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:59,799 Speaker 1: it right. So now he's trying to figure out, how 750 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:01,839 Speaker 1: can I make it easier for these guys to receive 751 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 1: the balls? It too much velocity? Do I need to 752 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 1: take some off? I need to put it ahead of them? 753 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: Do I need to put it behind There's so many 754 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 1: elements of this game in terms of being successful with 755 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,880 Speaker 1: throwing the ball in the air. That's why teams like 756 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: running the ball on the ground. Yeah, that I mean, 757 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: I appreciate that from you know, the aspect of it's 758 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: not all on Dak. There's so many things that happened, 759 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: and I like what Zeke said, Man, it's eleven of 760 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 1: us out there. You know, we all got to get 761 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 1: involved on fixing this offense. And I just don't feel 762 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,279 Speaker 1: as though, you know, it's the weirdest thing for me 763 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: on this side, guys that every week the narrative has changed, 764 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 1: you know, whether it be you know, dan Quinn's defense 765 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 1: needs a lead in order to win. You know, this 766 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: offensive line is all Dak is still hurting, you know, 767 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 1: all of these things that it changes each and every 768 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,880 Speaker 1: week till we won the game on Sunday. And this 769 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 1: is the first week that if I've ever felt like, 770 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: did we win you know, coming back because of the criticism, 771 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: and I want for it to be noted that I'm 772 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 1: just like, when I look at it, look, there are 773 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: so many other things that are happening behind the scenes, 774 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 1: are in the game that I don't think people are 775 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 1: pointing out and saying, how in the hell can he 776 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: get rid of the ball? How can he be pimp 777 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 1: wint accurate with Alan literally in his lab and I 778 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,839 Speaker 1: just can I disregard those plays when I when I'm 779 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 1: being analytical about this team, right, and not even just 780 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: about that, I'm looking at it as is this type, 781 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 1: Is this quality of play good enough to win playoff games? 782 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 1: That's how I look at it, right. I don't know 783 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 1: about everybody else. I think that's how That's how I 784 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: look at it, and I have a different perspective than 785 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 1: just fans do. Right, this level of football does not 786 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 1: get it done in the playoffs. And that's my reality, 787 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 1: and that's gonna that's their reality. They have to play 788 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 1: better in a lot of positions. But if you're not 789 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 1: playing good ball at the quarterback position, name one team 790 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,360 Speaker 1: that goes for on the playoffs where that doesn't have 791 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 1: a quarterback that's playing well that and they did create 792 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: a standard the first half of the season like they 793 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: can be unstoppable if they play a certain way, and 794 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 1: teams have adjusted defensively. I think you spoke to it. 795 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: I mean it does seem like less splitzing, more coverage 796 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 1: and you know, take away the big stuff, and that's 797 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 1: that's that's what teams are doing. And for the most 798 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: part since the bye week, teams have had success doing that, 799 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 1: especially the better defenses the blueprint at some point, I mean, 800 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 1: you know, like we kind of I kind of laughed 801 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: at that stuff, but you know what teams are having success. 802 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 1: You know, so you did laugh at that when I 803 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 1: asked that question. Yeah, I mean because while they came 804 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 1: back to next week against Atlanta and one by forty, 805 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 1: then after that it wasn't so easy sledding. No, we'll 806 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 1: see what it is on Sunday when we come back. 807 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,800 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Giants and what kind of defense 808 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 1: they're gonna throw at the Cowboys and what kind of 809 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 1: adjustments they can make on that side of football. When 810 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 1: we come back on talking Cowboys, I want to use 811 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,800 Speaker 1: what the pros use.

We're running close on time. 855 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,239 Speaker 1: Heck my Harrison, Isaiah stand back, Rob Phillips, Chrispine, Kyle 856 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,479 Speaker 1: Yeoman's and let's finish this thing up on a strong 857 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 1: note and actually talk a little bit about the giants, 858 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: because we've talked all cowboys today, which is not a 859 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 1: bad thing by any means, hence the name of the show. 860 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,760 Speaker 1: But let's talk about what the giants bring to the table, Isaiah. 861 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 1: Where is the strength of their defense front? Seven secondary, 862 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 1: none of the above, all of the above? Where is 863 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,279 Speaker 1: it all their defensive front? Their defensive front? Is the 864 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: strength of their team? Their defense? Um, they have some 865 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 1: guys that can present some problems, you know, uh, Leonard 866 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,880 Speaker 1: Williams and guys of such. Um, who's the other gentleman 867 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,000 Speaker 1: that dexter Lawrence Dexter Lawrence yep um, who's a young 868 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 1: buck though as there you go, I wasn't gonna be 869 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,360 Speaker 1: able to say that name. So, um, he's he's bawling. 870 00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 1: He hasn't get into what six sacks I believe, So 871 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,759 Speaker 1: I'm like that. So he's a he's a problem. And 872 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 1: they have to obviously officsive line. Right now, nothing on 873 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,480 Speaker 1: offense can get going without offensive line. Can we just 874 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 1: stay staying on that statement? Please? All right? Agreed? The 875 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 1: running game will be nothing without office line playing with continuity, okay, 876 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,360 Speaker 1: and passing game is slim to none, and then that 877 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,520 Speaker 1: falls back on DA's ability to deliver the ball with 878 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 1: confidence and accuracy if the office line isn't playing well. 879 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,720 Speaker 1: So everything starts with the offensive line and it triggers 880 00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 1: down from there. If they could take care of business, 881 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,239 Speaker 1: I feel very confident that we could put up a 882 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,360 Speaker 1: forty burger as long as Zeke is resting eight sacks 883 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:41,399 Speaker 1: for a z Yeah you really quick? Really, I didn't 884 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 1: even hear it until he said something about three three 885 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 1: sacks against Carolina in a game for his Zzojulari. He's 886 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 1: had eight on the season, but it's lowest grade as 887 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 1: a pass rusher all year long has been against the 888 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, according to PFF's own you yeah, so he 889 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,319 Speaker 1: he at least didn't have any like the Firth side round. Yeah, yes, 890 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,560 Speaker 1: he is on that switch sides this game. Yeah, he 891 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,919 Speaker 1: may flip back over and go to the left this time. 892 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 1: So what do you what have you seen? Rob? I'm 893 00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 1: just curious to see if they can run the balls 894 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,600 Speaker 1: effectively the Cowboys as last time, because you know the 895 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,840 Speaker 1: Giants are gonna say look, not not this time, not 896 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 1: two hundred yards again? So can they get it rolling? 897 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,560 Speaker 1: Are they gonna allow them to get it rolling. And 898 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 1: uh and Mike spoke to this yesterday and they did 899 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 1: want the problem. In the first game, they put up 900 00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,480 Speaker 1: forty four points. But the Giants do play all these 901 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,280 Speaker 1: all these different fronts and give you all these exotic looks. 902 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,239 Speaker 1: So how does that, how do they handle that? How 903 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,600 Speaker 1: does how does that young group inside handle that? Up front? 904 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,439 Speaker 1: Got it? Yeah? I just want to break their will, 905 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,240 Speaker 1: um and polls our will on them get this running 906 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,680 Speaker 1: game back. Like we've all stated, Um, what Isaiah was 907 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,080 Speaker 1: talking about the strength of their team is definitely the 908 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,400 Speaker 1: defensive front aziz Ojular as you mentioned, obviously coming off 909 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,239 Speaker 1: the edge, and the exotic looks that they have. They 910 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,799 Speaker 1: go three four, fourty three, they play at all, Um. 911 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,480 Speaker 1: But I just want to see Dak take these guys 912 00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,120 Speaker 1: out of this to safety high. I think it's just 913 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,360 Speaker 1: disrespectful the way the teams are playing him and loading 914 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,880 Speaker 1: the box, and I think that a steady running game 915 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 1: is going to give them that. It's funny to me, 916 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,359 Speaker 1: how once we came back from the Saints game, now 917 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,279 Speaker 1: Kellen is starting to employ more, employ more of the 918 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,200 Speaker 1: jumbo package, and the Saints is a team that has 919 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,359 Speaker 1: you know, they come with six seven offensive linemen up front, 920 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,200 Speaker 1: and now we're doing the same thing. So if this 921 00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 1: is a copy and pace league, we're gonna take that 922 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,239 Speaker 1: and add that to our playbook. But I want to 923 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:31,239 Speaker 1: see I want to see us do a lot of that, 924 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 1: and I want to see Kelln get back in his bag. 925 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,960 Speaker 1: And whether it be from just you know, and I 926 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,320 Speaker 1: said this, and I don't know how well it was received, 927 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,800 Speaker 1: but dolling the playbook back because you're gonna play the 928 00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,839 Speaker 1: Washington football team twice in three weeks, maybe you don't 929 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 1: want to show them everything all at one time. And 930 00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 1: you also have noticed that the entire league is adjusting 931 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,480 Speaker 1: to your playbook, so you know, look, maybe they're they're 932 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,160 Speaker 1: dolling it back a little bit to obviously ramp it 933 00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,400 Speaker 1: back up in the playoffs. But right now, with the 934 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,040 Speaker 1: way that this offense is look is looking, man, you 935 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:02,840 Speaker 1: just got to go back into those back pages and 936 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,520 Speaker 1: get those plays going again. I think Kellen getting back 937 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,319 Speaker 1: on track is my number one thing, hello, because that's 938 00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:10,839 Speaker 1: it's got to happen this game. I mean, you're gonna 939 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,959 Speaker 1: face a team that just shut you down last week 940 00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: in Week sixteen, so get back on track. Here then 941 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 1: crescendo that to the rest of the season. That's all 942 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,880 Speaker 1: you've got to do. And Dalton Schultz named Dalton Schultz. 943 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 1: Yeah he needs to play better as well, But let's 944 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 1: talk about that tomorrow.
