24
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: is Amber Garcia TV is how you tweet her and

25
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 1: you can get your questions to her and we'll try

26
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: to answer as many questions as we can in the

27
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: final two segments of the show. All right, so let's

28
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: jump in. Let's get some updates on some injuries. Yesterday

29
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: I ask you guys about Ezekiel Elliott and Alden Smith.

30
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: They were limited on Wednesday. Yesterday they were limited again,

31
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: So catch us up to date on the status of

32
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: particularly first Zeke and where he is in his trek

33
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: to being able to play Sunday. Nick sounds like he's

34
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: expected to play. He's been limited a little bit, but

35
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: from everybody that is talking about it doesn't sound like

36
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: it's the worst of hamstring injuries. And I think that

37
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: he should be able to play. I mean, now how

38
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: limited he will be in the game. Maybe they rotate

39
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: more and maybe they get you know, let me to

40
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: have him play wildcat and do all that stuff. I mean,

41
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's gonna kind of limit him a

42
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: little bit. But it sounds like he's gonna be ready, David,

43
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: you at all concerned with the fact that he has

44
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: been out and it's a hamstring injury for a guy

45
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: that plays the running back position. I just want to

46
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: say hi to Nick real quick, just because you glazed

47
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: over him at the top of I'm here. I'm hi, Nick, Hi,

48
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: good to see you on this lovely Friday. Glazed over there.

49
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: It's okay, and it's not a big deal what I do.

50
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: Just it's okay, we're here. Did I not say your name?

51
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: You didn't? Sorry, you said you didn't. That's okay. I

52
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: thought I said, I'm sorry. Sorry, man, it's okay. I'm sorry.

53
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: I could have just let it go. But that wouldn't

54
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: be me. No, it wouldn't be um. I thought I

55
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: heard that right. I looked at Dave. Dave was kind

56
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: of like, what and whatever you were rolling, you know,

57
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: episode fifty seven or whatever. I'm so sorry. I was

58
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: doing that for Yeah, our producer. Not the worst slight

59
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: against me today, So that's fine. I'm fine. Oh he's talking. Yeah,

60
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm a little worried. Anytime. I'm trying to drive us

61
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: back onto the road like I took us off the road,

62
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: and now I'm like, Okay, we should probably get back

63
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: on the road. Uh yeah, anytime somebody. You know, the

64
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: word run is in his name. So if he's got

65
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: a hamstring, that's not great. Um, I think I think

66
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: you'll play. Maybe they limit him, Maybe we get to

67
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: see some Rico doubtle, that's I mean. I hate to

68
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: be a I hate to be a pessimist or a hater,

69
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: but if this game goes away, most of us think

70
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna go. You know, Zeke probably doesn't have any

71
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: business being in there in the second half anyway, So

72
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: maybe they can use that as a way to limit

73
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: him and keep him fresh, well, or at least the

74
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. I don't know. I don't know, Hey, Amber,

75
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: how confident would you be in Tony Pollard if he

76
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: needed to carry the full load for an entire game?

77
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: With everything you've seen of him, I guess to this

78
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: point in his career, well, this year is just kind

79
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: of just on the fence right there. I don't quite

80
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: know how I feel about him at this point. I

81
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: was really excited for him this year based on what

82
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: I saw from him last year, but then this year

83
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: is just like hit or miss. Sometimes he has some

84
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: really good runs and then some other times he just doesn't.

85
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: So I think that maybe this is an opportunity. And

86
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: this is hard to say, because yes, you still have

87
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: to play a football game. Yes you still have to

88
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: act like you're trying to win this game when you

89
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: go out there on the field. But at the same time,

90
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: it's like, you gotta make sure you protect your your starter.

91
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: You don't want any thing to happen, anything like make

92
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: the injury worse for sequel Eliot. So I would think

93
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: that we get to see more Tony polar on this

94
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,799
Speaker 1: game in this game, and it's just it's it's tough

95
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: because he just doesn't have a good setup with the

96
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: old line right now, so it doesn't help him. But

97
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: I think he's a guy that hostalent and the ability

98
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: to make runs and make it happen. But it's just

99
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: in general, it's just not a good scenario for him. Nick.

100
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm looking at the stats, and I mean

101
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: there's nothing to suggest that that Pollard will be better

102
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: than Zeke. I mean, he does seem quicker to the whole,

103
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: but they're both averaging three point nine yards exactly. They're

104
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: you know, receiving. They're averaging six point six point five

105
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: and Pollard six point four. A lot less, you know,

106
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: a lot less um touches for for Pollard. But I

107
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: mean just saying you don't there's nothing to suggest that

108
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: that he is going to be better. Um, you know,

109
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: his longest rush is you know, fourteen yards or something

110
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: like that. And I mean, so it's not like he's

111
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: done a whole lot with it. I mean they did

112
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: have a big kickoff return that that was a nice

113
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: play and the one nice play in Washington. But I mean,

114
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: I think he'll provide that they need each other, not

115
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: just one or the other. So I think it would

116
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: be worse because who's If Pollard is the guy, then

117
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: who's who's Pollard? You know, It's like that old thing

118
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: about Jordan and Pippen. I mean, you know, if becomes Jordan,

119
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: pip never had a Jordan. You know, Pippen never had

120
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: a Pippin you know, I mean that kind of stuff.

121
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: You gotta have a second guy. I don't know, Maybe

122
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: Ricco's the guy. Yeah, Dave, what do you think? Yeah, Rico,

123
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: let's see him. We've been saying that. I'm six years Dave,

124
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: You're you're right, Um, yeah, I mean I don't know. Yeah,

125
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean I feel fine if Tony If I mean,

126
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: if if Tony would have to play the whole game,

127
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: I feel fine that he would do. Okay. I don't

128
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: think that he would be better than the best that

129
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: we've seen from Zeke. I think, all things being equal,

130
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: he's probably capable of going out there and carrying the

131
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: ball twenty times for up to one hundred yards, assuming

132
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: the game doesn't get away from him. But I still,

133
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, I think Zeke will have a role. I

134
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: think if I had to guess today, I think Zeke

135
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: still finishes with more carries than Tony. But like I said,

136
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: maybe this is an opportunity for Rico Dowdle to get

137
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: some actual point time. What do we know about Alden

138
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: Smith at this point? And he also was limited yesterday.

139
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: Sounds like he's expected to play as well. I mean,

140
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, both these guys, Zekens Alden Smith talked on

141
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: their conference calls. You know this week doesn't sound like

142
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: players that aren't going to play in the game. But again,

143
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,559
Speaker 1: maybe limited a little bit. Cheetah, both of these things,

144
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you take the cheetah both well, both of

145
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: the other two guys just seem like load management things

146
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: to me, just like reading all the tea leads. Yeah,

147
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: like the fact that both guys were available for their interview.

148
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: You fact that Jerry Jones said he thinks they'll both

149
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: play on the radio today, That just it feels like

150
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: precaution more than actual injuries. Whereas Cheeto Mike McCarthy's yesterday,

151
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy was like, today, it'll be the big day.

152
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: And then we asked him again today and he was like, Saturday,

153
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: it'll be the big day. And I'm just like, all right,

154
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: we're not gonna see Cheeto. Yeah, we're not gonna see Cheeto.

155
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: And they don't sound good. I mean when he was

156
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,679
Speaker 1: asking the press conference, his erstone was kind of like, well,

157
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: we waited to see how he reacted at practice, and

158
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: then we viloated him. But the way that he said

159
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: we re vivoiated him just made it sound not us

160
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 1: optimistic as to having him played this weekend. Yeah, I

161
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: think the sad which okay, I'm sorry, I just I

162
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: wrote about the secondary earlier this week, and you know,

163
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: Nick's been calling at the hamstring from hell and I'm like, yeah,

164
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: I guess so I'm sitting here thinking Cheeto's been out

165
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: since maybe week four. No, I was wrong. Cheo has

166
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: been out since week two and it's week nine. So yeah,

167
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: this is a this is a hell of a hamstring issue, allright.

168
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: You well, often if you're saying contract, which I think

169
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: that's what I heard, like you would think that would

170
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: kind of move things along. But again, maybe if he

171
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,599
Speaker 1: doesn't think he can play, if he doesn't think he

172
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: can play well with a hamstring. Jason Hatcher threw it

173
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: out there, you know, but ten years ago, five years ago.

174
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm putting bad taping myself out there, and

175
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, and and there's a reason for that. I mean,

176
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: like it's not think about it. If he goes out

177
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: and plays in a game and gives up the touchdown

178
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: or two touchdowns, I mean then it's like, let's rank

179
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: the free agents this year, and then all of a

180
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: sudden there's a play like that. I mean, it's not

181
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: the worst thing in the world. I mean, like, that's

182
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: what these guys are, especially the guys that are going

183
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: for their second contract. This is it for them. This

184
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: is the biggest contract they're ever has A takeaway he

185
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: has he has a takeaway on film. You're talking about

186
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: film and putting out there. He has an interest option

187
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: before he went out with the injury, so at least

188
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: he has that. Yeah, but if he goes out there

189
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: and gets dusted by juju a couple of times because

190
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: he's not at one hundred percent, nobody's gonna care that

191
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: he had a pick two months ago. He's got a

192
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: bad Yeah. It's just but I know all the injuries

193
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: are different, but it's just it's it's funny how Zeke

194
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: is like, well, he's got a hamstring injury and he's

195
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: probably gonna play in this game. And I get it,

196
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: it's not torn or whatever, different different thing, but eight

197
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: weeks for a hamstring or seven or eight, because think

198
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: about it, if he didn't play this game, which doesn't

199
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: sound like he will. You know that that they got

200
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: the bye week next week, so they're like, all right,

201
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: let's come back and then maybe he'll play at the end.

202
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: I mean, but it just it kind of seems like

203
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: a for who for what situation? Right now? Okay, Um,

204
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna go ahead and

Speaker 1: to talk about the Cowboys versus the Steelers. Asked some

207
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: questions I'm gonna line up for you guys, the biggest

208
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: of which is who's going to start at quarterback? And

209
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: does the person that start a quarterback do you think

210
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: they'll actually end the game at quarterback. We'll talk about

211
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: that when we come back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot

255
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: WBC Mortgage studios. At the start, we're gonna talk Cowboys

256
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: versus Steelers that happens this Sunday three thirty at AT

257
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: and T Stadium. Let's start first with the question that

258
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: I think everybody's trying to figure out, and I'm not

259
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: sure you guys have the answer, but I still will

260
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 1: ask the question, who starts at quarterback for the Cowboys?

261
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: And do you think the person that starts ends up

262
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: finishing the game. Let's start first with you Amber. I

263
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: think it's gonna end up being Cooper Rush. I kind

264
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: of hesitate after hearing Mike McCarthy said his comments and

265
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: just stating that for some reason, he thinks Gary Gilbert

266
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: has a little bit more experienced based on the fact

267
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: that he's been a couple of weeks more here than

268
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. But I think that maybe once they get

269
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: into conversations between him and Kellen Moore, Kellen Moore maybe

270
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: voices his opinion on the fact that he has known

271
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush for a longer amount of time, and maybe

272
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: that helps in just the communication and getting them on

273
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: the same page. But I do think that if the

274
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys are losing pretty badly, I do think that there's

275
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: a chance for us to get to see both quarterbacks

276
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: in the game, because at that point, why not why

277
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: not get a chance to see who could be a

278
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: better backup to Andy Dalton once he gets back. Dave.

279
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: You know, I think I've said Cooper Rush five or

280
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,479
Speaker 1: ten times already this week, but I do have to acknowledge,

281
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: Like again, you just sort of get some vibes listening

282
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: to McCarthy and talking to people that maybe they like

283
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: Garrett Gilbert a lot more than I thought they did,

284
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: so I would start Cooper Rush. I'm not going to

285
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: be surprised if it's Gilbert. Having said that, I'm with

286
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: a g I think it's kind of a mood point. Like,

287
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: you know, David Moore from the Dallas Morning News made

288
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: a joke this morning about how Tom Landry rotated quarterbacks

289
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: like every snap or every series. I'm not saying you

290
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: need to do that, but maybe give each of these

291
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: guys a quarter or you know, give the backup guy

292
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: the third or something. I mean, I think there's nothing

293
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: wrong with acknowledging the situation that you're in and just

294
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: saying like, yeah, let's give each of these guys a

295
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: fair opportunity to show. I know, like you you should

296
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: try to win every game. You play to win the game,

297
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: like Herm Edwards said, But I don't think there's anything

298
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: wrong with acknowledging that you are in very dire circumstances

299
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: and you can change up the way you do things

300
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: because of that. Yeah, I would go with Cooper Rush.

301
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: I think sounds like Dave said, it sounds like it

302
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: could be Gilbert. But then again, you know McCarthy doesn't

303
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: want to tip his hand at anything because you know

304
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: that's worked this year. But I don't get me a

305
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: it worked, But that's okay, I don't. I really don't

306
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: think the Steelers. I don't think. I don't think t J.

307
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: Watt or Bud Dupree is gonna be like, what who's that?

308
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, you see, you're looking into the Pittsburgh practice

309
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: facility right now, and everybody's like, Oh my god, which

310
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: one is he gonna be? I don't know which one's

311
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: gonna be. Like they're really ringing their hands over this one, right. Yeah.

312
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: I think a better question would be and I don't

313
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: know who finishes. I mean, I agree they all should

314
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: should play. If it's this close, then it's not going

315
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: to take much to sway your opinion. But if there's

316
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: a way to do it, I think I would probably

317
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: make all three quarterbacks active, including Denucci. Why not? Why

318
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: not him? I mean in the second half if he

319
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: gets out of hand. You know, Dave said something earlier

320
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: to I want to bring up. He said, if the game,

321
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: like Pollard, if the game gets out of hand, I

322
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: don't think it will get out of hand to run

323
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: the ball. If it's twenty one to nothing, like Atlanta

324
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: up twenty one nothing, hey, let's go get back in

325
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: the game. Pittsburgh up twenty one nothing, you're like running

326
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah, but you know NFL coaches they're never

327
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: can they're never going to concede it. I mean, did

328
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: you watch that game last night? A game was over

329
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: before it started, and end of the game, they're still

330
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: trying to get down there and score that last touchdown.

331
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: Hurting in fantasy, but still they're trying to get down

332
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: there score that touchdown. So I just think that's the

333
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: NFL coaches. They're gonna keep pressing like and they're gonna

334
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: if they're behind, they're gonna be throwing the ball because

335
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: they're trying to get back in even though they know

336
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: they they won't get back in. It's an opportunity to

337
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: test those guys under those kind of circumstances, right, maybe,

338
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: but he's not gonna get he didn't want to get

339
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: beat by Pittsburgh fifty to three. Yeah, So I don't know.

340
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: I think I think you still run your offense. I

341
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: think what Bucky said, he slowed down so the game

342
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: as much as you can, and you know, see what happens.

343
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 1: But I would play all three quarterbacks. I mean, i'd

344
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: make them all active. I was say this, I don't

345
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: I don't really honestly care who starts, but I do

346
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: think if down a significant amount at halftime, I think

347
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: you make a switch. Like I think that's a to me,

348
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: it's a no brainer, yeah, because I think I go

349
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: through the first half and I see where we are,

350
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: and if the guys are on a bit of a

351
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: role by the way, he may be down, but he

352
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: may be playing okay. Then I still stick with him

353
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: and I keep seeing okay, can he dig his way out?

354
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: Give him a chance to see if he can dig

355
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: his way out of the hole. Right, But if it's

356
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: just a blowout by halftime, if it's just the offense

357
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: not moving, there's nothing going on, then why not throw

358
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: the other guy in there and just see what he

359
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: can do. He might not be able to dig out

360
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: of the hole either, but he might show you something

361
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: that makes you say, huh, not bad. Maybe he's a

362
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: guy that we can continue to kind of keep developing

363
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: a little bit here, and if there's other opportunities to

364
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,479
Speaker 1: play him later in the season, then we continue on

365
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: that track and we'll maybe get him some more opportunities.

366
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: All right, let's go ahead and move on to the

367
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: next question. I got an over under question for you guys,

368
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh five sacks over or under, Dave, I mean, it's

369
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: easy to joke about that. I feel, situation, it's always

370
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: smart to take the under. Like it's very rare to

371
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: see an NFL team get more than five or six

372
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: sacks of the game. I know what happens. I mean,

373
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: we've seen it happen in the Cowboys, but way more

374
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: often than not, No, and and the Cowboys will game

375
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: plan for ways to get the ball out of their

376
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: guy's hands or just to run the ball to protect

377
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. So yeah, I mean, like I can see

378
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: four or four and a half, but if you're telling

379
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: me over under five, I'll go under. Yeah, And that

380
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: just to be clear, it was not meant necessarily to

381
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: be a joke. You look at what they did last week.

382
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: They gave up four sacks last week, and in my opinion,

383
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: they're facing a tougher pass rush against the Steelers than

384
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: what they faced last last week against the Eagle. So

385
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: to me, that five number is a legitimate number, and

386
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: it certainly isn't a joke for whoever's gonna be back

387
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: their quarterback, because they're gonna have to deal with that.

388
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: But Nick, what do you think probably under. I think

389
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: they'll try to get the ball out quick. Like Dave said,

390
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: if if you would have said, if you would have

391
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: said four and a half, you know that, then you

392
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: think get about it. Yeah, maybe, but or four he

393
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: said four. I mean, but I think I think it'll

394
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: be it'll be close to that. Well, that makes it

395
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: so much better, does it? Does? It makes a difference.

396
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: It makes an absolute difference. Yeah, it doesn't. You're still

397
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: four and a half. Five, big deal. Same thing. You're

398
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: getting pressure, you're getting dropped in the lane. You're just

399
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: ignoring the whole concept of over under. Like yeah, I mean,

400
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: like we all agree that they're gonna get sacked in

401
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: this game. But five is a lot, you know what,

402
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: I'll take it. I'll take it. I'll take it. I'll

403
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 1: put five on my name, I'll put five. I'll say

404
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: this is gonna be one of those games they're gonna

405
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: get pressure. And the thing is a lot of those

406
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: plays might not necessarily count as a sack because maybe

407
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback just gets rid of the ball quicker, but

408
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 1: he's still gonna get hit and pressure constantly. I just

409
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: don't trust our offensive line unfortunately, and I am scared

410
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: of what the Steelers have over there, So yes, I'll

411
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: go ahead and take five sicks. It's not gonna be

412
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: a pretty game. I'm which j G. I think this

413
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: is gonna be. I think that really the toughest part

414
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: of this matchup for the Cowboys is going to be

415
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: the fact that not only do the Steelers have good rushers,

416
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: but as Bucky was saying earlier in the week, they

417
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: blitz a lot, and you never know who those five

418
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: guys are that coming because they play that three four defense,

419
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: it can be a different five all the time, like

420
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: they're sending different guys, and what happened in that Arizona game,

421
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: similar thing. When you've got guys coming from different points,

422
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: that's a problem for the Cowboys. And you've got a

423
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: much higher grade pass rusher with Steelers with the Steelers

424
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: and a much higher grade secondary with the Steelers than

425
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: you had with Arizona. So I think that's gonna be

426
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: a huge challenge for this Cowboys offensive line. Let's move

427
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: on to the next question. How much does the fact

428
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: that Pittsburgh's offense is a quick passing attack help the

429
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 1: Dallas defense if at all. What I'm getting at there

430
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: is Dallas has had a lot of problems with the

431
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: deep ball. Doesn't seem like that's what Pittsburgh does regularly. Now,

432
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: maybe this is a week when they find that part

433
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: of their offense, but that isn't something they do regularly.

434
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: Does that help the Cowboys defense. I don't know if

435
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys secondary it will tackle that well. I mean,

436
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: that's where it's going to come down to. The reason

437
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: why they do that is because they get it blocked,

438
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: and they also, you know, have playmakers that are going

439
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: to break tackles, and that's where I think. You know,

440
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys have had some issues where they're not

441
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: making tackles in the open field like that, so you know,

442
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's gonna do whatever they can score points. I think

443
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: it was what Bucky was saying last week, I mean

444
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: a couple days ago about Ben doesn't take as many

445
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: shots down the field. It's not the same as it

446
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: as it was in the past, but they're still effective

447
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: this way, so I think it helps a little bit.

448
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: But if the Cowboys aren't going to tackle, they're gonna

449
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: have those games where where they're not out there making

450
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: plays to stop them, then you know it could be

451
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: just as ugly. Yeah, Amber, this question is a little

452
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: confusing to me, but if I'm trying to make sense

453
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: of it, I mean, I would say it would help

454
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: them if we get the type of defense that we

455
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: saw last weekend, but that most likely is not going

456
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: to happen because you got a very different offense and

457
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: a very different quarterback. So I would say I agree

458
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,479
Speaker 1: with what Nick said. I don't think it necessarily helps

459
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: them much, if anything at all, But the defense is

460
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: just it. I don't I don't have any answer. I

461
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: don't trust this defense to do anything either, So I

462
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: don't know. Dave Well said on Namber's part, I mean,

463
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: halfway through the season, how could I possibly be expected

464
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 1: to say like the Dallas secondary has an advantage. I mean,

465
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: I know Carson Wentz struggled against them, but Carson Wentz

466
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: is struggled in a lot of games. I put that

467
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: more on him than the Dallas secondary suddenly being great.

468
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen let them up the week before that maybe

469
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: it won't look as ugly as it has at times,

470
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: but Hall of Fame quarterback, and I mean, that's a

471
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 1: nice receiving corps. Maybe not as good as it has

472
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: been at times during the Steelers run, but Chase Claypool's

473
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: six four, Juju's obviously great deanteum, and then you know,

474
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: James Washington's a deep ball guy too, even though he

475
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: hasn't had a huge role. So no, I don't I

476
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 1: don't like that. I don't like this matchup at all. Yeah,

477
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: and I'll say this, it's not to me. I agree

478
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: with you. I think this is this is a challenging

479
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: matchup for the Cowboys, pretty much as every week is

480
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: going to be for the Cowboys. But from the from

481
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: the standpoint of the fact that if if they are

482
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: not a team that really takes those deep shots often,

483
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: I don't know that I've seen the biggest problem with

484
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys secondary being them tackling. I think the biggest

485
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: issue has been they let guys get loose and for

486
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: you know it, there's a forty r touchdown or fifty

487
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: yard touchdown, know whatever it is, right, they they just

488
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: don't seem to be able to always be on the

489
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: same page with whatever's going on down feel, And I

490
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: think that's the part where if there's a team you're

491
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: running up against it doesn't really do that a lot.

492
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: I think it can be an advantage and I shouldn't

493
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: even say an advantage, it could help the Cowboys because

494
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: you don't do to them. It's kind of like what

495
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: we talked about last week with the running game, Like

496
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: we were like, why didn't they keep running the ball? Well,

497
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: that helped Dallas. They didn't keep running the ball, right

498
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: because that's just not what they wanted to do. They

499
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: wanted to keep giving Wins an opportunity to throw the ball,

500
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: and that helped Dallas. So I do think there can

501
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: be a little bit of that that might happen this

502
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: weekend where if they're not willing to take those shots

503
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: down field, not to say they won't be there, but

504
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: if they're not willing to take them, then I think

505
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: that does help Dallas a little bit. And I think

506
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: it can help Dallas again if they can tackle well,

507
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: then I think it can help them maybe in this

508
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: game a little bit and to keep them away from

509
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: what's really hurt them in the past few weeks. All right,

510
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: let's roll into the next question. As Dallas corrected some

511
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: of its rushing defensive problems, or do you expect James

512
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: Connor to have a good day. Let's start with you,

513
00:25:53,720 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 1: Dave No. I mean, like I just show me you

514
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: know they played great, they played great last week. I

515
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: tend to think of it more as an operation until

516
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: I see more. And you know, we talked more when

517
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: we were reviewing the Philly game. I think the success

518
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: against the run was a lot more about Philly being

519
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: reluctant to do it than Dallas suddenly buckling down. So

520
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, they should have this new defensive tackle Longkou

521
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: who can maybe help am Anchor down Neville Gallimore continue

522
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: getting reps. But until I see them do it, I

523
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: absolutely do not trust them to shut down anybody's rushing attack,

524
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: especially you know somebody. Again, maybe the Steeler's offensive line

525
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: isn't what it used to be, but it's still very

526
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 1: good and James Connor is a good back, so that no,

527
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: I don't like that at all. They've given them more

528
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: with less to less, Right, Amber, what do you think? Yeah? Yeah?

529
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: The only thing I have to add to what they've

530
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: said is that I think the Steelers defense is going

531
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: to be able to get the Cowboys offense off the

532
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: field a lot. So I just feel like the Cowboys

533
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: defense is gonna be pretty tired in that game, and

534
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: that's gonna hurt them once they try to stop whether

535
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: that's the passing game or the run. It's just they're

536
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: gonna be physically tired in this game. So that's gonna

537
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: be a problem in that aspect. So yeah, I don't

538
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna be able to stop the run.

539
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: That's a good point. No, I don't think the offense

540
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: is gonna be able to do much. So, yeah, they're

541
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: gonna be on the field thirty five minutes plus in

542
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: that game, and I think they'd have a hard time

543
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: stop in the run in the first quarter, you know.

544
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: So I just think you said James Connor's gonna have

545
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: a good day. I think he could have a really

546
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: good day. If you were playing fantasy, you're playing him,

547
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: I would a team you're playing, I would not even

548
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: thinking twice about yeah, yeah, I've got the quarterback over there,

549
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: and I don't think that's I don't think he's gonna

550
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: do it much because I think they'll run the ball.

551
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: I really do. I think that, you know, they'll you know,

552
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: this is one of those games. I mean, I know

553
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: it's his doom and gloom, but it just is just

554
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: this team. They just don't have the firepower on offense

555
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: to compete with that Steeler defense, and then on defense

556
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: they don't have it to compete with Pittsburgh's offense. But

557
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: that's the crazy part about this, and we all know

558
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: because we've been watching the NFL for a long time.

559
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 1: It's these kind of situations that often create these weird

560
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: moments in the NFL when everybody is convinced of one

561
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: thing and I don't even know, I don't even know

562
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: a scenario where that would actually work out like that

563
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: this this week, Like there's no reason at all to

564
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: believe the Cowboys will be better offensively, defensively or special teams.

565
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: There's no reason to believe that. They've given you, no

566
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: reason to believe that. It's just weird because you look

567
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: at this. But the point is, the point is it's

568
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: just weird because we've seen this happen in the NFL.

569
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: And again, Pittsburgh they would go to eight. No. I

570
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: don't think Pittsburgh has been eight. No. I want to

571
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: say I heard a statistic like they haven't been eight. No,

572
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: maybe in their franchise history. But but again, you're talking

573
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: about these just these these weird moments that sometimes happened

574
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I think if it happens it would

575
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: happen because of what Day said earlier in the week.

576
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: Dallas comes in with this completely different game plan where

577
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: basically they're like, or do a wildcat the whole day

578
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: and they somehow take Pittsburgh off guard and they catch

579
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: them doing some stuff that that they're not really prepared

580
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: for it. That would be the only case scenario. But

581
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: I just don't even see that really working against a

582
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: team this good. All right, we're gonna take our final,

583
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: I will say, sorry, good Dave. I mean, yeah, any

584
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: given Sunday, anything can happen, Like, you can never completely

585
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: rule that out. But like, when the deck is this stacked,

586
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: I mean we saw it last night. I watched that game.

587
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers are decimated, they don't have any

588
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: of their good players, and green Bay went in there

589
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: and rolled over them. I think it was thirty one

590
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: to three, and then green Bay let off the throttle

591
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: and San Francisco got some mercy points. So when the deck,

592
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: when the deck is this stacked, I just don't know

593
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: what all you can expect to do. Doesn't mean that

594
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can't win, But forgive me if I'm not

595
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: really entertaining it as a legitimate possibility. There's no logical

596
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,479
Speaker 1: reason to believe that they will win. All right, we're

597
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: gonna take our final break. When we come back, we're

598
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: gonna get some questions from you guys again. You can

599
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: even I mean, I'm sorry, you can tweet Amber at

600
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: Amber Garcia TV. She'll get your tweets there. But we'll

601
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: also have some other questions as she's worked up. We'll

602
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: do that when we come right back. This is Dallas

603
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com Radio. We're back in a tasty treat

604
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: that's sweeping airwaves and taste buds. It's new Doctor pepper

605
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,959
Speaker 1: and Cream Soda. Let's take a listen, Doctor and Cream Soda.

606
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:42,840

Speaker 1: Amber with me, and we're going to jump into some

642
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: questions here Amber, what you got out there? I still

643
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: have a lot of questions about the tackle position, but

644
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: specifically about Tyren smith future. What do he guys? And

645
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: I know this is kind of hard to tell us

646
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: right now, but what do you guys expect here to

647
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: happen with just him and his time here with the

648
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: cot Boys? I would imagine I'll go ahead, Dave, go ahead,

649
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: next Sorry, I bet he's coming back. It comes back

650
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: next year. God. Yeah. At the risk of sounding like

651
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: a crazy optimist, like, I'm not very worried about Tyrant Smith,

652
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, like, I think a lot

653
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: of the problems that have plagued Tyrant Smith over the

654
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: last three or four years stem from him trying to

655
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: gut through it, like he hasn't had this surgery that

656
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: shut him down, because he's like he's a warrior. He's like,

657
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm good to go. I can fight through this. And

658
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: he'll miss some games and the problem never really goes away,

659
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: but he fights through it. And so give him a

660
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: whole year to have the surgery and really get himself right.

661
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: Not saying he's gonna play in sixteen games a year

662
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: for the next five years, but I think this will

663
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: help him finish his contract. And you know, the Cowboys

664
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: obviously you can't take that at face value. They need

665
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: to address their depth at offensive tackle. But I don't

666
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: think Tyron's going anywhere. I think he'll be starting for

667
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: this team for the next couple of years, at least

668
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: the contract. How much longer is it on their contract?

669
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: Do you guys know? I want to say three seasons?

670
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: Hang on, I'll look it up. I will say this

671
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: while David it's here, three or four more seasons. While

672
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 1: Dave is looking it up, I'll say this. I disagree

673
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: with you guys a bit. I think he'll be back.

674
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,919
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any reason for the Cowboys to say, oh,

675
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: let's get rid of him. I do think the Cowboys,

676
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: if they go into next season relying on the fact

677
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: that that both their tackles are going to be healthy

678
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: and healthy for sixteen games at a mistake, So that

679
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: means they need to I think invest some resources into

680
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: that because right now, I don't think I've seen a

681
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: single guy that they've rolled out there to play tackle

682
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,439
Speaker 1: at this point other than their guard who they don't

683
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: want to put a tackle actually do it well. So

684
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: I think this offseason, whether that means they got to

685
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: go out and invest something in free agency, whether that

686
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: means they got to invest a mid round pick, or

687
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: whether that means that they take one of the guys

688
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: that maybe are playing guard and really invest working them

689
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 1: at tackle, I think they got to address that position,

690
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: and I think they got to address it in a

691
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: in a significant way because they can't trust that both

692
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: these guys coming off injury, and with the injury history

693
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: of Tyron, they can't trust the fact that that they're

694
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: going to have those gas for sixteen games. I think

695
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: they can make the argument they did that last year

696
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: though when by getting Cam Irving wasn't great though, And

697
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. If you're going to go out

698
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: and do it in free agency, you better get a

699
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: better quality guy than Cam Irving. I mean, he can't

700
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:44,959
Speaker 1: remember he got he Actually they made a decision that

701
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: he was worse than Terrence Steele. This coaching staff made

702
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,479
Speaker 1: the decision he was worse than Terrence Steele. If they're

703
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: accurate in their assessment, I'm not sure that Terren Steele

704
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: doesn't beat out Lyle Collins for the starting job. I'm

705
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: not sure he hasn't been that. He hasn't lost the

706
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: job to anyone since he's been here. Regardless of how

707
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: poor he has played, he continues to be the right

708
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: tackle of this team. Yeah, but you're saying that tongue

709
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: in cheek obviously, I mean that's there's no way he

710
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: was beating out Lao. But the point is, I think

711
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: it speaks more about cam Irving personally. I don't think

712
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: cam er I think this coaching staff will look at

713
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: Cam Irving and said he's not a very good tackle.

714
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: They played him when they had to, when they absolutely

715
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: had to. I thought he's played pretty well. It's hard

716
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: to do that, though. It's hard to get a guy

717
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: and pay him to be a backup, and you see

718
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,439
Speaker 1: it even at quarterback. Andy Dalton has to make that decision. Yes,

719
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a backup there. So I think you

720
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: have to draft someone second round, third round, draft someone

721
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: and hope that you know you can develop him or

722
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: move Connor Williams out there exactly, And maybe that's the answer.

723
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: Maybe you give Connor more time working at that. Maybe

724
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean he moves there initially, maybe he's still

725
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: your starting left guard, but you start working him there

726
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: and seeing if maybe he has the ability to slide

727
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: out to it. Man, you think about that, Dave Williams

728
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 1: say that the next year they moved him to tackle.

729
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: This would be his fourth year, next year right contract

730
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden europe swing tackle. Yeah, that

731
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: would be terrible for well, I mean, yeah, you're right,

732
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 1: because it wouldn't be a starting situation. But I mean

733
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: that they did that for Lyle and it helped him.

734
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: You know, Lyle was playing guard and they moved him

735
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: and he I mean, you know, he's happy about the

736
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: way that way, but they loved him to be a

737
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: starter that they didn't move him to be right, No,

738
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: I know, I know, Yes, Connor I would think would

739
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: be livid if he gets moved out of the starting

740
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: lineup in his contract year. If that would not I

741
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: can't imagine that would make him happy. Tyran is under

742
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: contract for three more years. I will go on the

743
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: record and say I think he finishes his deal. But yeah,

744
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: I said that too. I mean they need to invest

745
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: in in a good backup, whether preferably in the draft honestly,

746
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: because yeah, finding finding a Stallar starter caliber tackle in

747
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: free agency to not start is that's going to be tricky,

748
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: So use a draft pick. Well, speaking of free agency,

749
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: and this is tough again because there are other factors

750
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: like Dak Press contract and all that. But do you

751
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 1: guys think that the Cowboys maybe learned a lesson this

752
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: year by shopping for Bower Gains and all that dream

753
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: free agency and maybe they kind of start handling free

754
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 1: agency a little bit different this upcoming year. I doubt

755
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: it they should. I mean, they they haven't really hit

756
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: on a free agent investment in the time that I've

757
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: covered the team, and I don't, you know, you get

758
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: it like a pleasant surprise, like a Jeremy Mincy. That's

759
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: not what I'm talking about. Like, they haven't they haven't

760
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: really spent big money on a guy, and on the

761
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: rare occasion that they've spent medium money, it hasn't really

762
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: worked out. And with what they've got to figure out

763
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: with Dak and some of the other pieces, I have

764
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: a hard time believing that they're going to do it

765
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: next year either. Yeah, I don't think they necessarily trying

766
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: to bargain shop as much. I mean, they are trying

767
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: to get bargains, but I think it stems from the

768
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: fact that they they're going to I mean, they had

769
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: the highest quarterback in the in the NFL right now,

770
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: highest paid quarterback right per year thirty one million. I

771
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: mean I think, I mean, I know there's guys that

772
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: are supposed to be making more, but I mean he's

773
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: making thirty one minute. That's one of the top seeks,

774
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: one of the top running backs, Mary's on the top receivers,

775
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: the left guard or right guard, left tackle, left defensive end.

776
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: So when you do all that, you just don't have

777
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: money for it. And I'll complicate that even more. This

778
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: next year's salary cap is gonna go down. Guys, it's

779
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: gonna go down, and because of COVID, it's gonna go down.

780
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: And because of that, I don't think that they'll have

781
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: the money to be able to go out and just spend,

782
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: you know, in free agency and just completely change the

783
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: way that they look at free agency in a year

784
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: when their salary cap is actually down. That would have

785
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: to be in a year when your salary cap is

786
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: up and you're like, all right, we got a little

787
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: extra money, let's play around a little bit more than

788
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: we normally would. I think this year they're going to

789
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: be as frugal as they possibly can because of the

790
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: fact that they do still have to sign Deck, which

791
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: might actually end up being a savings for them, but

792
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,919
Speaker 1: they have all these other guys with these big contracts. Yeah,

793
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: I don't think this is gonna be the year they're

794
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: gonna change up their strategy. Even if they wanted to

795
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 1: change up their strategy, I don't think financially this is

796
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: a year to do that. Well. And we know the

797
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:22,439
Speaker 1: Cowboys love drafting people, and that's the preferred route when

798
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: he comes to player at consisition. So here's the next question.

799
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,760
Speaker 1: Let's go around the room and just talk about because

800
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,479
Speaker 1: everyone wants to talk about draft already. So what would

801
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: be the position your biggest position of need right now

802
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: when you look at drafting a player, I'll start. I

803
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 1: think that when you look at where they are projected

804
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: to pick, like I am, I'm just getting the best

805
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: defensive player on the board and it really doesn't matter.

806
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: And if that's vague, that's fine. That's how bad the

807
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: defense is. Because if he is a catalytic line back,

808
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm for it. If he is a badass cornerback, definitely.

809
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 1: If he's a pass rusher, okay, and if he is

810
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: a run stuffing defensive tackle that he's just like controls

811
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: the middle. Bring it. So whoever the best defensive player is,

812
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: defense is so bad. I am for that. See I

813
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 1: don't I don't completely agree. I actually I was talking

814
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: about that on Twitter the other day. Is I think

815
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: you just got to look at positional value here. And

816
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to mention any specific players because I

817
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 1: haven't done I haven't started researching this draft class, or

818
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: I'm just watching college football world get to that, don't worry.

819
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: But so I don't want to. I don't want to

820
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: throw any specific players under the bus. But this defense

821
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: is so far away being top notch, like an off

822
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: ball linebacker. I don't know if I can justify that

823
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: with a top ten pick, or a defensive tackle who

824
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: doesn't rush the passer. I hate to sound like Stephen

825
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: Jones because we know they hate one techniques, but like,

826
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: if I've got a pick in the top ten, I

827
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: need a little bit more bang for my buck, which

828
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: is why you know, and I don't even know the

829
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: names of any of these players, but I'm hoping like

830
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,959
Speaker 1: hell that like a very very top tier defensive back

831
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,479
Speaker 1: is available, either a cornerback that can completely take away

832
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 1: half of the field, or one of these safeties we've

833
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: been dying for for years, like a Derwin James who

834
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: can play six positions Like that is my pipe dream.

835
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: If I'm picking in the top ten, is a defensive

836
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: back who can help me just completely revamped the secondary.

837
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm completely with you, David. I love your point, Nick,

838
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,399
Speaker 1: because if there is I will say this, if there

839
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: is a dynamic type player at linebacker, a type player

840
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: that's all over the field and can do a lot

841
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: of different things, then that's the guy I would I

842
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: would be okay with spending that high pick. The likelihood

843
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: you got that guy sitting in the top ten probably

844
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 1: not great. But if you've got one of those top

845
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 1: notch cornerbacks, you know, the kind of guys that like

846
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: kin a Couta that came I was as a Couta

847
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 1: that came out of Ohio State, that kind of back

848
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 1: that I feel like he's gonna come in and he's

849
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 1: gonna be an immediate impact player. And now I'm gonna

850
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: pair him up with this other corner I got in

851
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: the second round last year that I think now can

852
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: give me a really good tandem. I'm going for that,

853
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: like that's my preference. If I can get that cornerback

854
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 1: that's a great cornerback, I think that will help everything

855
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: all the way around. I think he helps more than

856
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: just a cornerback position. I think he helps the safety.

857
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: He helps the pass rush. I that's where I go

858
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: if I have a choice. Yeah, And the quarterbacks will

859
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: factor into this. If the Cowboys are drafting that high, right,

860
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 1: always look at the quarterback situation. Not so much so

861
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys will do it. Maybe they will, that's

862
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: a that's a discussion for another time. But the times

863
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have traded that first round pick in the past,

864
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: it's because someone else wanted a quarterback. They wanted a

865
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: Brady Quinn or whatever. The Cowboys are trade. I'm not

866
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: saying they drifted three guys this year, right, Dave? Have

867
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 1: you nick you guys at least Georgia and I mean,

868
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry, at least Ohio State and uh yeah,

869
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: we know those two. Maybe isn't a third one. I

870
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: thought that was a third one that's kind of being

871
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: talked about. Yes, No, the North Dakota State kid and

872
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: the BYU kid are both going to be first round picks,

873
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: and um, Kyle Trask out of Florida I think has

874
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 1: a chance to Okay, I just think, I mean maybe

875
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: as many as five. Yeah, it look at Jerry of

876
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 1: like using that to maybe trade back if you need

877
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: it to or whatever. I find Derek's answer pretty amusing

878
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 1: because I thought, if I remember correctly, that all we

879
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: needed was some really good pass rush. They didn't will

880
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: and they didn't get it. Now you're over here to

881
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 1: talk and they didn't get it. Did you do you

882
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 1: think this is a really good pass rush? Absolutely not, Okay,

883
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: that's my point. They did. I'm just saying, like, maybe

884
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: maybe you can get it. Maybe I would have expected

885
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: you talking about maybe reinforcing the past rush rather than

886
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: talking about now They both play off each other. They

887
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: both play off each other, so you gotta give me

888
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: one of them that's really good. If I have a

889
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: really good secondary, then I can afford have pass rush

890
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: that's not as good because they're gonna be helped by

891
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 1: the secondary. Or if I have a really good pass rush,

892
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: then my secondary will be helped a little bit. It's

893
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: kind of an either or. But when you're getting neither

894
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: like they got this year, this is what you get

895
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 1: as a result of a really bad defense. No, I agree.

896
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: I just wanted to give you some crap on some

897
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: previous climents that you've said in the past. It's all good.

898
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: Do we have time for one more? And yeah? Yeah, no, oh,

899
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. No, we gotta do picks. We gotta do picks.

900
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: Let's go and jump the pics real quick, all right. No,

901
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 1: not that we are have any suspense here with our picks,

902
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: but at least we can get some some suspense with

903
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 1: the scores. And let's start with you. How do you

904
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: go on this pick, Cowboys versus Steelers. I'll do it

905
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: pretty simple. Cowboys loose and the Steelers they end up

906
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: scoring at least like thirty five points. Cowboys somehow get

907
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 1: lucky and score. For some reason, I'll keep seeing number

908
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: thirteen in my head, so I'm just gonna go with that.

909
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: So thirty five thirteen, m okay, Nick, thirty one twelve Pittsburgh.

910
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: I don't need that. That field goal. You're gonna stick

911
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: with that. Yeah, I heard this morning you were kind

912
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 1: of walking. But just just see why holding Pittsburgh under

913
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: thirty like, I don't see that. Yeah, thirty one, thirty

914
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: one to twelve. They fail to cover the spread for

915
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 1: the ninth consecutive week, which I think is the record. Yeah,

916
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable, all right, Dave, Uh, you know it sounds

917
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: weird to say, but I think the efforts gonna be

918
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 1: there again. Like, I think they're gonna be scrappy again.

919
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: But the problem is, what kept them in the Philly

920
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: game was Carson Wentz turning the ball over. Roethlisberger has

921
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: been amazing at not doing that. He's actually only thrown

922
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 1: an interception in two of his seven games, so five

923
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: times he's gone out there and protected the ball very

924
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 1: very well. I don't see them taking advantage of him,

925
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: so I think they'll scrap. But I think Pittsburgh pulls

926
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,760
Speaker 1: away pretty easily. I got thirty four or to ten,

927
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,840
Speaker 1: and I think I think the Cowboys do score a touchdown,

928
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 1: but it's like in the last five minutes when nobody's

929
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 1: really paying attention. All right. I think that this game

930
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 1: is gonna be one where I agree. I think the

931
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: defense will be scrappy early. I think that there will

932
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 1: come a point though, whin the bottle will break, and

933
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: I think score affiliate. I mean, I'm sorry Pittsburgh ends

934
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: up scoring points much much more than than what they

935
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: did last week. I do think though, I look at

936
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense, if they could only get nine last week,

937
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: then my thought is this week it's going to be

938
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: less than that. I just don't see them being able

939
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: to I think the biggest problem this week is just

940
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 1: going to be offensively. They just can't match up or

941
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 1: at least anything we've seen so far doesn't suggest that

942
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 1: they have a good matchup here against the Pittsburgh Steeler defense.

943
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: So I actually think it's gonna be kind of a

944
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,240
Speaker 1: little bit of a you know, the offense doesn't score

945
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 1: a touchdown for sure, I think I'll give them six points.

946
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 1: I'll give them two field goals. I think Philly scores

947
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: thirty four thirty four six is what I see as

948
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: a final score. All Right, I appreciate you guys join us.
