This he's Talking Cowboys 3 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 1: screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the 4 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:33,639 Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. Here are Mickey Spagnola, Brian Brons, Rob Phillips, 5 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: and Bill Jones. Oh what a beautiful Wednesday it is 6 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: here at the Star in Frisco. Great day to be 7 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: outside and practice some football. So we get you started 8 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: on officially on Eagles Week this week as the Road 9 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: to the super Bowl continues here on Talking Cowboys. You 10 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: like that you're giving it positive TV guy to day. 11 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: You obviously have him listening to the fans. I'm not no, 12 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: I'm keeping it positive. The road to super Bowl fifty 13 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: four continues on this Wednesday, October sixteenth. Is that right? 14 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: I believe that right. Sometimes it's good to stay out 15 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: of those Twitter mentions. You know, you can stay way 16 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: more optimistic. Jason Witton advised us on that last year 17 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: as he went into the short stint in the media. 18 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: I assume he's staying out of the Twitter mentions this 19 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: year as well, especially this week as well. But let's 20 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: kick things up by talking about what Jason Garrett just 21 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: talked about and the press conference that was just completed. 22 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: Here the news since we last were seated together here 23 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: breaking at Tyrone Crawford is done for the season. He's 24 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 1: having season ending hip surgery. And we had seen it. 25 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: We had talked about it here on the show, how 26 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: he had struggled trying to get through it throughout the 27 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: first six weeks of this season. But it just came 28 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: to a head, didn't it, Mickey, This was going to 29 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: be the eventual resort. He knew it. He tried to 30 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: play through it, but all along, I think he was 31 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: resigned to knowing that no matter how much rehab he did, 32 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: no matter how much training, whatever, treatment, that the end 33 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: result was going to be surgery at some point. And 34 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: I think it got to the point where they were 35 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: getting diminishing returns with him on the field, and I 36 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: think he just decided, eight years in the league, I 37 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,839 Speaker 1: gotta go do this. And now you know he's got 38 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: one year left on his contract. That's a great, great 39 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: mentioned there, Mickey, But this could be this could be 40 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: career ending. I think this is he turns thirty next month, 41 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: November twelve, right, and has that one year. I believe 42 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: at eight million dollars next year, and most of the 43 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: pro ration of his bonuses is gone next year. I 44 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: think maybe a million left from a reconstruction. So yeah, 45 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: this is other than that. I mean, if he is 46 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: healthy enough he can come play, they can they can 47 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: manage through that. Yeah. From a financial standpoint, did where 48 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: he can make a return, the question will be can't 49 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: he come back from Yeah. And then the other thing 50 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: is from a salary cap standpoint, you go on, ir 51 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: that ten million dollars that he counts against the Caps 52 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: still counts, ye, So yeah, that's that hurts. Yeah, it's 53 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 1: tough for a guy that has played through so much here, 54 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: shoulder injuries, different things, and he's he's found. I mean, 55 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: I think he's said an example for guys in the 56 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: locker room about trying, you know, playing tough, and I 57 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: think forty two snaps the last two games. Mickey said 58 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: diminishing returns, that he just tried to give him something, 59 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: and talking to him a couple of weeks ago, you 60 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: could sense the frustration of I'm gonna try to manage this, 61 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: but I'm going to be in pain all year long. 62 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: That's what he said, and ultimately I think you know, 63 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: this was something they had to do to get him 64 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: right and try to get him back next year. Well, 65 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: it also gives him an opportunity to look at, you know, 66 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: Tristan Hill, you know, and then coach mentioned about you know, 67 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: signing a player today as well to take Crawford's place, 68 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: which I need to get on. And Justin Hamilton, Yeah, 69 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: Justin Hamilton was with Kansas City, I believe, and uh 70 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: so I need to see in the preseason what Justin 71 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: Hamilton brings to this. So they worked him out a 72 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. But it gives Tristan Hill an 73 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: opportunity to, you know, to step up and hopefully show 74 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: some things that he hasn't shown so far. You know 75 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: that that you know, maybe some of the work that 76 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: he's been able to do at practice and you know, 77 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: the effort and all that's there. I don't know if 78 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: the techniques really there. I don't know if the strength's 79 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: really there. But they need him to play some meaningful snaps. 80 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: Now it's not hey get in there and get washed 81 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: the five plays you're in there, the series you're in 82 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: there and be a liability. They need him to step 83 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: up and make play. So I like what Mickey said 84 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: about the about about Crawford and potentially this could be 85 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: it for him with the Cowboys, and you know, because 86 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: you have to think about going forward. You know, they 87 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: they haven't signed anybody yet, you know, as far as 88 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: the quarterback and the wide receiver and stuff. So every 89 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: every dollar you can have they can go towards that. 90 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: Maybe to the next season. Uh could very well be 91 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: the difference if you can get contracts done. So you know, 92 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: that's something that that was a point out, was pointed 93 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: out very well by me. But for this year, I 94 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: don't know if we've talked enough about not having him 95 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: and impacting this defense. You know what what what a 96 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: healthy Crawford could do for this group right now and 97 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: what they had to tackle, it could absolutely and even 98 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: at even if he plays some in for you yea 99 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: in the run, protecting some of the edges. I mean, 100 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: I know, I know Quinn has done a nice job 101 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: playing fifty something snaps. But I don't know if if 102 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: that's been mentioned enough by us or anybody, that not 103 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: having him has impacted just that overall versatility inside. I 104 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: know people talk about his contract and all that, but 105 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: when he's healthy he's a very underrated piece to what 106 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: they do upfront. And he's been a player that's dealt 107 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: with injury a lot, hasn't he Yes, I mean a kill. Yeah, 108 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: that's when he thought he did it again. Remember then 109 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: it was was it his knee or his foot or 110 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: something that say in training camp when he was screaming yeah. 111 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: I mean, his versatility is so important. You have one 112 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,559 Speaker 1: guy that can play two positions when you're only keeping 113 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: eight defensive linemen up Now, we've been told that Joe 114 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: Jackson can do it. But okay, he's he's been placed 115 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: in that situation. But I haven't seen any production yet 116 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: carry Hider or the same thing, and we haven't seen 117 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: the production yet. And Brian's right about about Tristan Hill. 118 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: You gotta get him going, got to get him in there. 119 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: He's got to be productive and he's going to get 120 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: an opportunity now because this guy they just signed is 121 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: basically a nice body. But he's been on practice squads. 122 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: I think I saw where he's He's played eight games 123 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: in the league over since twenty fifteen, So think about it, 124 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: that's four years he's been in the league and he 125 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: wasn't with anybody this year and most of his time 126 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: has been on practice squads. So again, and you know 127 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: they're looking for a cheap addition. Everybody's like, well, who 128 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: are they going to trade for? Well, that's where I 129 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: was going about your second round pick stepping in. Just 130 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: don't give up those let's trade for the second round pick. Yeah, 131 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: I mean this is second round pick. Why are you 132 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: drafting it? Well? And kind of it kind of makes 133 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: you scratch your head a little bit about what's the 134 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: situation with Daniel Wise? You know, that's with him being 135 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: on the practice squad and we talked about the versatility 136 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: you know that Daniel Wise is. I think he's a 137 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: better end than he is a tackle, but they felt 138 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: more about going to get somebody else than bringing Daniel 139 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: Wise up. You know. So that's kind of one of 140 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: those situations where you go, well, you know, maybe Daniel 141 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: Wise wasn't ready. He is he better prepared than what 142 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: we've seen from Tristan Hill, you know. I mean there's 143 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things going through my head about that, 144 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: because usually that that practice squad guy would get the 145 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: elevation and then like okay, because we know what he 146 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: can do, they went out completely off the reservation and 147 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: when it got a guy, uh, instead of maybe elevating 148 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: a guy that they kind of knew about from you know, 149 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: thirty practices in Oxnard preseason games in six weeks of 150 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: being on the practice squad here. So what does that 151 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: tell you? I know, that's that's what I'm trying to 152 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: figure out. And yeah, yeah, I can't feel too good 153 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: about that. And you know, if you're Daniel Wise, you're 154 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: probably saying, if I have an opportunity to leave, I'm gone. 155 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not. You know, if they're going to 156 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: bring people up off the street, off the street to replace, 157 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: you know, replace roster spots, then you know he might 158 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: he might be looking elsewhere if he gets that opportunity. 159 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: Can't say I've watched a lot of Justin Hamilton tape. 160 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: Oh no, I got into that, That's what I'm saying. 161 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: But just looking at his measurables, He's three hundred and 162 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: fifteen pounds, so a big body that they're thinking maybe 163 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: they can show up some snaps in the middle on 164 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: game day if he's active. I mean, that's you know, 165 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: more of that, you know, And that's one of the 166 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: things about Crawford playing inside he's trying to do that 167 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: at two hundred and seventy pounds, by the way, and 168 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: they had him play in some one technique for times too, 169 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: so that's hard at two hundred and seventy pounds. The 170 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: other thing, I see what people are asking, like, well, 171 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: why didn't they have the surgery earlier. Well, even if 172 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: they had done it earlier, the hip surgery he needed, 173 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: he was going to be out for the year that 174 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: he was not coming back this year, so the best 175 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: and plus, I think when we talk about surgery sometimes 176 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: we talk about it cavalierly, like, oh, just go have surgery. 177 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: This is surgery. You think about that in your own life, 178 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, I'm trying. I'm trying to avoid it, right, yeah, 179 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: and you just don't go do it. It's like, okay, 180 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: let you know, let's go do surgery. You try to 181 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: do everything to prevent surgery, and then when you have 182 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: to do it, then you go do it. And it's 183 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: got to the point where you had to do it. 184 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: But had they done the surgery and March or April, 185 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: he was going to be done for this year. This 186 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: wasn't This wasn't Byron Jones surgery. Well that's Where I 187 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: was going though, is that they people asked why that 188 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: was late in the offseason. That was the last resort. 189 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: They tried to rest him and rehab him and it 190 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: didn't get better, and so that's why they did it 191 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: mid offseason or whatever I was asking, is this the opposite? 192 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: Didn't he have hip problems? You know, he's talked about 193 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: being Brasidas and stuff like that, but it didn't he 194 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: have surgery on No, he did not. I asked him, 195 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: he didn't have surgery. Oh he did not. So they 196 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: just rested. They rested. Reacting Okay, well, did that makes sense? 197 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 1: I'm siou to thinking what were we dealing with that 198 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: in the during training camp? They just tried to manage 199 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: it and yeah, and it didn't work. And it also 200 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 1: had the glute thing going by the way, and I 201 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 1: don't know if that was in relation to the hip 202 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 1: causing that, but he had a pain in the you 203 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: know what? Yeah, you know. And just comparing justin Hamilton 204 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: versus Daniel Wise, that decision if there was one there, 205 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: As Rob mentioned, three hundred and fifteen pound guy Hamilton, 206 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: he's more of a D tackle, He's not a d N. 207 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: Daniel Wise gives you, it's more like Crawford and that's 208 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty pounds basically point by Brian both 209 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: yea lined up at both now. But but another difference 210 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: though is Wise. Obviously it is a rookie college free 211 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: agent out of Kansas. Hamilton was a college free agent 212 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,959 Speaker 1: a Louisiana Lafayette. But he's got four years experience, even 213 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: if it is just on a practice squad. Played in 214 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: four games for the Chiefs last year, so he has 215 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: been on an NFL field in a regular season game. 216 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: So maybe just the fact that maybe they feel like 217 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: they got too many young guys. If you if you 218 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: throw Wise and Hill and all those guys out there, 219 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: I mean Jackson, Yeah, maybe maybe you're in a situation. 220 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, we're way too young to have to 221 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: deal with all that. Armstrong is not exactly a salty veteran. No, 222 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: not either. Yeah, and then what are we hearing on Armstrong? 223 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: It sounded like maybe later in the week with the 224 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: practicing today. Yeah, but he's a stinger, and so he's 225 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: got a lot of guys not practicing today. Yeah about it. 226 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: Every mound like everybody that every day finished the game 227 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: or start the game. Last week. It's not practicing today. Ye, 228 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,719 Speaker 1: so that Yeah, that's encouraging. That's a sarcasm button right there. 229 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 1: I'll hit it with him. Yeah, that's yeah, that's in 230 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,599 Speaker 1: your corner situation too. I mean receivers they've got, you know, 231 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 1: they've got guys that filled in in the game. But 232 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: if you're down two corners in this game against some 233 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: of the weapons the Eagles have, yeah that's it's gonna 234 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: be a tough, tough going. But you know they have 235 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: the corners too, so it'll be equal. Yeah, there you go. 236 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: But I'm just pointed too. If that's Shawn Jackson gets 237 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 1: back for Philly this week, I mean it's it's always 238 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: a challenge going up against these guys. But Mills and 239 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: Derby are expected to practice this week, but they doesn't 240 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: mean they're gonna play. They've been out for a while 241 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: and Yells hadn't played since last year. You have to 242 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: worry about the conditioning there with that, for sure with them. 243 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: The thing with the Cowboys though, if I remember correctly, though, 244 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: the way they could kind of get around some things 245 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: that they had to was that that uh that Xavier Woods, 246 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: if I'm not wrong, his rookie year played slide corner. 247 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 1: Am I right about that? By the end of the year. 248 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: The end of the year is so yeah, I don't 249 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: know they really want to do that, but you know, unfortunately, 250 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: could I just I just make everybody get sick of 251 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: the no no, no audible side was from Mickey's side. 252 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: That's what they did on first and ten at the 253 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 1: eight yard line. They brought Woods down onto the line 254 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: of scrimmage play in the slot, yeah, which left Jeff 255 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: Heath no question, single safety high, no question. Yeah, that's 256 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: exactly right. That's the you know, the upside and the downside, 257 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: downside for sure what you're getting at there. If they 258 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: had a role in that type of role for Woods 259 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: and Darry and Thompson, that safety. Yeah. And as far 260 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: as yeah, I mean to me, it's it's Jordan Lewis obviously, Yeah, 261 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis. I mean to me, I just kind of 262 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: feel like though that if they had to, if they 263 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: had to, Mickey's right, the guy I mean, he did play. 264 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: He was playing down, which is unfortunate because he's better 265 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 1: playing back. But I just remember him playing his rookie 266 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: year playing slot corner, you know, And I'm just thinking 267 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: there's no way in hell he can do this, and 268 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,599 Speaker 1: he did it, and he did it pretty well. So 269 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: it was after that San Diego debacle on Thanksgiving Day, 270 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: when you know, when they couldn't cover anybody and they were, 271 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: you know, making all kinds of plays. The next week 272 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: they started twitching their corners and safeties around and things 273 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: seemed to kind of get better. Yeah, you think things 274 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: are going bad, now, think back to after that San 275 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: Diego debacle Thanksgiving Day and where this team was at 276 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: that point in that season. Yeah. Yeah, So at this point, 277 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: say neither one of those corners can play, you would 278 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: start at Woozier and Lewis, and then when you went 279 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: to Nickel, maybe you bring Woods in to play in 280 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: the slot instead of moving Lewis inside and good And 281 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: this is this is where, yeah, Nicky, this is where 282 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: I'm kind of thinking that we might see another I mean, 283 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: who is Okay, tell me who your fifty third player is. 284 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: I'm just throwing it out there. If you have a 285 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: fifty third player in mind, tell me who it is. Well, 286 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: it was Brandon Knight. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Sorry, But but 287 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: they were Mickey, they weren't gonna get rid of Brandon 288 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: Knight right his mind's mind, Now, fifty third has to 289 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: be Devin Smith. No, Devin Smith may end up starting. 290 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, he's been acting in active the 291 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: last two games, but they could use him, especially if 292 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: you with Indoor Randall Cobbin. The only reason Wilson was 293 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: up was because he could do the slot right, no question, 294 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: that's exactly That's why they started him, and he could 295 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: do special teams along with Bryant. To me, Devin Smith's 296 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: your other starter. Okay, that's right, fair point. Are you 297 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: thinking a practice squad? I'm thinking how do you get 298 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: Donovan a Lumba up? You know, That's what I'm trying 299 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: to think. Because if you're if you're such a bind 300 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: where you're talking about playing safeties in the slots, and 301 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: we're kind of worried about the Eagles getting back Jackson 302 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: and and you know what and what they had with 303 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: all Sean Jeffrey, and then well Goodwin has to be 304 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: your guy. Then yeah, your an other corner. Yeah, and 305 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: Woods you can get creative a little bit because you 306 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: do have some safety flex but yeah, it's it's not 307 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: ideal question. Nobody, nobody, nobody's thinking about a Lumba at all. 308 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: I mean I'm watching or Mike Mike Jackson, right, Mike 309 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: Jackson's another one. Yeah, So who would you trust there 310 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: if you had to play with Okay, just from training 311 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: camp in preseason games, who would you trust more to 312 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: play if they had to play in a game. And 313 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: this is a terrible question, but would you trust Mike 314 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: Jackson or Donovan Alumba in if you had to play 315 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: a game? Probably a Lumba because he's got a little 316 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: more experience. I think I would go with Jackson. I 317 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: think I'm going to Jackson, man, I think I'd go 318 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: with a Lumba. You're I know, I knew you would 319 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: go a Lumba, which made there's no right answer here. 320 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: That's I'm saying you've got four people that kind of 321 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: feel like that that that okay to this to that 322 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: and and there's really not a great answer. Or it's 323 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: something where like we talk about sucking win through your 324 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: teeth when you're like Donovan a Lumba, you know, Michael Jackson, 325 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: you know you're just kind of that well, which one 326 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: of those two can help you more on special teams? 327 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: And the answer would be Jackson, right, Jackson would probably 328 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: help you more there. Yeah, but if you have I 329 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: mean Jackson also played some safety in camp. If I'm 330 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: not mistaken, that's true too, a little more fun he 331 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: played in the slot also. Yeah. See that's the thing too. 332 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, that you're right. It's a good point, Mickey. 333 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: I think that I think Richard would go with I 334 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: think his guy, he would go with a lumba just 335 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 1: because he has confidence that he could go out there 336 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: and make play. Yeah, I agree with you. Yeah, but 337 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: he might get three defensive holding penalties along the way. 338 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: He made some play, and he'll get beat deep too. 339 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: He can't. He is not gonna run well, there's no 340 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: question about that. It may not come to that. It 341 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: may not come to that. Oh you're but if they 342 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: were helpful those corners Old Mara firing can get back. 343 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: Didn't sound like Anthony Brown was. No, I don't think 344 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: Anthy Brown play. I think has done. La Collins is 345 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: done for this week. Yeah, for they're thinking Byron will 346 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: I think he's got a chance. I think I agree 347 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: with nik. I think a B doesn't happen. No, I 348 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: think Abe's out. I think I think Byron Jones is 349 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: the one guy that's got a chance. We'll see there's 350 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: a chance.

Where will the Cowboys be where they 400 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: traveled to New England the Super Bowl? Right might be right, 401 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: It might be ducking tomatoes. M'd see some quickness out 402 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: of me at that time. The way we're talking about 403 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: all these injuries, I just I threw out the question 404 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: to Jason, is Mickey's got Noah Brown any closer to 405 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: getting back? And apparently not not yet. He's still on pup. 406 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: He's eligible to practice, but they haven't started that clock yet, well, 407 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: just asking because they got some receivers. No, No, it's 408 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: a good it's a good it's a good question. But 409 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 1: the problem is is once you start the clock, then 410 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: you got two weeks and then you got to start 411 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: making decisions. I know, but could you Are you in 412 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: a spot where maybe you needed to start that clock? 413 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: Why receiver? But apparently not so anyway, Sorry, Bill, but 414 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: it was a good question. No, but again you would 415 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: have to cut somebody. Yeah, you got if if one 416 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: of those wide receivers was done for the year, then 417 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: absolutely right. Yeah, just give it a couple of weeks 418 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: and yeah, you get to buy coming up. But this 419 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: is a big what happened to your optimism? Super Bowl? Gosh, 420 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: I'm a big Noah Brown fan. What do you mean? Yeah? 421 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Bill? Um? Yeah, thing goes down the toilet. 422 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: That would be by Nick Nay the rest of the year, 423 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: bull Bill, yep, yep? House gaged the city? Do it never? 424 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: Super Bowl team? Yeah, hanging in there there the rams 425 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: of the NFC championship game hanging in a super Bowl Bill, 426 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: aren't you? And now and now they don't have first 427 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: round picks next year? Raft? All right, how about that 428 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: before we get into the Eagles. Jalen Ramsey is a 429 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: ram Do you think of those round picks? Yeah, two 430 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: first round picks in a fourth form, and they traded 431 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: away Marcus Peters, who was probably gonna be a problem anyway. Well, 432 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: they should have known that. And from the beginning, right, 433 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: that's why he's available, you know. Uh, Well, they got 434 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: an NFC championship or they got a trip to the 435 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: super Bowl out of him. Yeah. I know that GM 436 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: out there in Los Angeles pretty well. And his attitude 437 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: has always been he's like he feels like he's always 438 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: coaching year to year or being a GM year to year. Yeah, 439 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: you know, he worried about the next year. Somebody else's 440 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: somebody else's problem. He you know, I remember talking to 441 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: him Less Sneat and I go, I call him LS. 442 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,239 Speaker 1: How's it going. He goes, Oh, man, I'm out of here. 443 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: They're bringing Gruden in here. I'm done. They're gonna get 444 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: rid of me, you know. And then he gets an extension, 445 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: you know, and if they find a coach and all that, 446 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 1: but Less is always uh I keep saying, coach Less 447 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: has always been a GM. That that really he says, 448 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: you know, what, I'm just gonna try and go for 449 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: it every year, he goes, I don't. I just don't 450 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: know how long I'm gonna get to do this. And 451 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: you know, if you make a bunch of mistakes, don't 452 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: get ridy anyway. But if you're building a good team. 453 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: The biggest problem he's having is with his offensive line. 454 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: I mean that you talk about problems on you knows, 455 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: and it's hard to believe that after we saw them 456 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: play in the NFC divisional game that there would be 457 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: any problem. But they just don't protect that guy because 458 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 1: everybody's talking about his numbers dropping. Yeah yeah, and it's so, 459 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: But does that matter? Doesn't he have to put the 460 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: team on his back golf? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's that's 461 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: that's been a problem there. But but that But but 462 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: to him, he doesn't care. He he looks at this 463 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: as a year to year job. And if I give 464 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: up picks to try and help my team now, then 465 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna just and then they fire me. That's somebody 466 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 1: else's problem, that's not my problem. Sounds like a panic move. Well, Harry, Well, 467 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,400 Speaker 1: the other thing that you've got out there is they're 468 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 1: going into new stadium next year. And that market. Even 469 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: though it is a new stadium. You think people would 470 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: butts would be in seats with the new stadium and everything. 471 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: But and I guarantee you it's very pricey. They need 472 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: to have a big year again this year just to 473 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 1: keep the momentum going as they move into the new 474 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: stadium next year. Mickey just brought up something. Can I 475 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: ask a question? Absolutely, would you thought that trading for 476 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: a Marii Cooper was a panic move? No? I thought 477 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: it was a necessity. Yeah, I mean when we when 478 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: we A lot of people though thought it was. I mean, 479 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 1: he's not wrong because because receiver by committee was a 480 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: terrible idea, they were going down to drain with Yeah, continued, 481 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: but it was it do think that people, I think 482 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: it's a panic. If you define panic is trying to 483 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: salvage your season. No, no, no, no, no, no, no 484 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: panic It okay, but I don't know the best way. 485 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: But but but I don't call it panic because it's 486 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 1: worked out, so describe it. It was a long term 487 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: move though. But this Ramsey thing, they're going to resign him, well, yeah, 488 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 1: you know that he holds out after him this year? Yeah, 489 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: but yeah, maybe good luck I'm just saying, you don't 490 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: give up what you gave up without resigning him, Well, 491 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 1: you better bring the Brinks truck. Then he showed up 492 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: in the Brinks truck there, did you know? It's funny 493 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: that you kind of think, well, you know, and I 494 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: don't think you're wrong, Mickey. Maybe it looks like a 495 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: panic move, but maybe it's I would have thought that 496 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: trying to go get an offensive lineman was a better 497 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: thing to go and try and help your team in defense. 498 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 1: They did that, yeah, and that it was a bust. 499 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 1: I haven't. I mean, I have watched a little Rams tape, 500 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 1: you know, when I watched the Seattle game. They've had 501 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: some problems in the secondary. Maybe that's maybe that's what 502 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: they felt like they had to do. I mean, that's 503 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I kind of just thinking 504 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: about the Cowboys situation, and but I think Mickey's right. 505 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: I think it's something they had to do. They've had 506 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: to go get a receiver. I mean, could could I mean, 507 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 1: if the Rams needed to make a move, could they 508 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 1: have given them up one first to get Trent Williams. 509 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: If that thing's not going to resolve, see that he is, 510 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 1: he too old to give up a first four Yeah, 511 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know what they're trying to salvage 512 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: this season. The Rams are and with the look ahead 513 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: to the next three seasons, obviously, but what was they 514 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: gave a problem? The probably gave up. They gave up 515 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: fifty five points to Jameis Winston and Tampa Bay. That's 516 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: a good point. That is a really good point. In 517 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: the next week through four interceptions, right, and then they 518 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: used to Seattle and gets grounded, yeah, or benched, whatever 519 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: you want to call bad. I was like, all right, 520 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: so now with the Mari Cooper's injury and what are 521 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: we thinking for him on Sunday against the Eagles? And 522 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 1: are the Cowboys back to receiver by committee? By the way, Yeah, 523 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: just let you know, Trent Williams is thirty one years old. 524 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: It's an offensive lineman. Yeah, have a couple of years left, 525 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: four or five good years maybe, but yeah, I think 526 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: you know, there are the Cowboys back to square one 527 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: at receiver where they were a year ago at this 528 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: time if they don't have Cooper against the Eagles, who, 529 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: by the way, against the Eagles at AT and T 530 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: Stadium had the game winning touchdown last year, he made 531 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: several greats. Sorry I was talking no Cooper and no 532 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 1: Cob Yeah, yeah, just what you were last week against 533 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: the Jets. The problem I had is that was inexcusable 534 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: to lose that game without I'm sure, I'm sure leading 535 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,360 Speaker 1: for Michael Gallop, you know, as one A and one 536 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: A needs to play like one not not not not 537 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: three D. He's gonna have a big game if they 538 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: actually what what he what he needs to remember is 539 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: not putting pressure on himself that yeah, I got to 540 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: be the guy, you know what. That's the thing people 541 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 1: talk about. People talk and there's a narrative out there 542 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: that the coaches don't have the players ready to play. 543 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: It may be they're too ready to play. It's like 544 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: they're they press in certain situations, you know. And I 545 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: think he did. Now the passes were tad high, but 546 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: he's got to catch them. Yeah, and he knows it. 547 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: That's three drops and they had three other drops. That's 548 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: six drops. I think somebody asked him about the offense 549 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: being on the same page and he's like, yeah, I 550 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: think we are. I just but I just me. I 551 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: just got to catch the football. Like that's basically just 552 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: finished plays. And I think that's part of the message 553 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: from the coaching staff is you, guys, we've made these plays, 554 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: you can make them. Let's just let's let's do what 555 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: we do. Like Brian said Monday, just make play football, 556 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: make football plays. Some of it is about execution, no 557 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: question about it. Now, there was one play that they 558 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: weren't on the same page. But no, yeah, yeah, and 559 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: he'd probably open. Yeah, he didn't see the blitz and 560 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: Dak read blitz exactly and it's like, you got to 561 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: do that, not what you did. Uh, you know that 562 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: prepared stuff. So Witton had a drop. He wasn't prepared 563 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: to play. You want to believe that. No, No, I 564 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: just sneed Michael Gallop to be one a ball. Gallop 565 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: has to step up. And I think with Devin Smith 566 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: on the other side as the outside receiver, if Cobb 567 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: can't go, then they've got something. Now, when you go 568 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: three wide, that's a different story. But Cedric Wilson actually 569 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: came on right. Yeah, But how about how about though? 570 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: How about Tavon Austin though, did he do anything for 571 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: He did a little bit. Yes, I don't know why. 572 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: I don't you know, trust him? Yeah, you don't trust 573 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: him because he can't line up. I don't blame you 574 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: if you don't. Seriously, he runs a great route to 575 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: get open Dak. It was a perfect ball to him. 576 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: He tap tap, gets the feet down fifteen yards. And 577 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: now Bradley whatever the referee's name was, I forget his name, 578 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: Bradley Rogers. I believe he's like, you know, you know 579 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: legal formation eighty two covered. I'm like, what what you know? 580 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: And sure enough it's fifteen or ten covering eighty two. 581 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: So I mean you can't have that. You just can't 582 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: have that. And I don't know. Do I trust him? No? 583 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: I don't know Austin lined up as an outside receiver. 584 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: That's the question I asked Jason Garrett, and he basically says, no, 585 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: you've got to understand where you are. You've got to 586 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: line up. I'm not saying that as an excuse, but 587 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: you could ask me right there too. Yeah, I said 588 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: that yesterday. I give you the wrong answer, Yeah, exactly. 589 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: But okay, so trust, no, trust, Nikki doesn't trust. I'm 590 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: kind of I think they're gonna have. If you're gonna 591 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: have over there, they're gonna have to incorporate his speed 592 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: into this offense somehow some special if it's Scandrick playing that, 593 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: and if it's got to be and if it's got 594 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: to be handoffs on end a rounds or whatever, you know, 595 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: instead of faking it, you're gonna have to give it 596 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: to him. Yeah, like you like tavon on Scandrick. Yes, yeah, yes, yes, 597 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: Scandrick will overthink this thing. You could get his head, 598 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: you know, just hit him, hit him a bunch of play. 599 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: But you know, make him have to tackle. I'll tell 600 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: you what, make this uh, you know, make these the secondary. 601 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: Make this Sidney Jones have to tackle a little bit too. 602 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: They got some guys that really don't want to tackle. 603 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: Other than that safety it's safety'll tackle, but not not 604 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: not these corners not not interested?

A little bit of sneak peak, 668 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: sneaking a peak outside at practice. The first team offensive 669 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: line for your Dallas Cowboys right now, lining up at 670 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 1: left tackle is Cameron Fleming left guard Connor Williams, The 671 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,320 Speaker 1: right tackles Brandon Knight. The right guard is Zach Martin, 672 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: and your center is Joe Looney. It's kind of the 673 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: way you played against Philadelphia last year. You had Joe 674 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,919 Speaker 1: Looney and they're playing center, you know. And but he said, 675 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: Tyran Frederick's not practicing. Yes, Travis Frederick not practicing right now. 676 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: Maybe some maintenance going on there. He was not that out. 677 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,720 Speaker 1: We will Yeah, any other knots that we didn't mentioned already, 678 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 1: seven others all all the other not practicing. If we 679 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: count Crawford there you go, all right, Tony Pollard, you 680 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 1: want to see more Tony Pollard? Rob Why not? If 681 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: you don't have two of your top receivers and you're 682 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: looking for a spark offensively, and he's a guy that 683 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 1: essentially in some ways was very much a receiver in college, 684 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: why not? I mean, I you know, I think he 685 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: got seven snaps against the Jets, And the last time 686 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: we really saw him heavily involved was I think the 687 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 1: Miami game yards one hundred yards and it was a 688 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 1: twenty three snaps that game, twenty three snaps. It was 689 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: opportunity for him to play more primarily as a runner. 690 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 1: Game was over right games over he spell zeke, And 691 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 1: I mean maybe that's gonna be his primary role is 692 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: when based on time and score and circumstance, he's spelling zeke. 693 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: But I'm just trying to think of creative ways if 694 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: you're if you're down a bunch of receivers in this game, 695 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: potentially last three games he's had two snaps, five snaps, 696 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 1: seven snaps on offense. Yeah, I think there's a lot 697 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: of folks out there that are really fantasy disappointed. We 698 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 1: were talking about that in the break about oh we 699 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 1: got Tony Pollard. He's really not done anything. But you know, 700 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: I feel like, though to me, getting Tony Pollard involved 701 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 1: in some two back sets, if you can use them 702 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 1: as like a move player, you know, as you can 703 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: put him in the slot or you know, put him 704 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: in the backfield, throw them all, you know, just use 705 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,359 Speaker 1: him on those those what we call those Texas routes. 706 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: So they go up and then they angle, you know, 707 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: you go up to the outside in angle inside work 708 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 1: him against some linebackers. That's where the Eagles have had 709 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,319 Speaker 1: a little success with their guy when they when they 710 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: know Miles Sanders, the running back they got from Penn 711 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: State against Minnesota last week, they put him in the 712 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: backfield and they knew they had a matchup, but they 713 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: got him in man coverage and they just they just 714 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,839 Speaker 1: went up the scene with him, you know, and then 715 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:39,880 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz was able to hit him and it was 716 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: a big play. I think you need to find if 717 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: you're not going to hand him the ball, find ways 718 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: to throw him the ball. And I'm not just talking 719 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,839 Speaker 1: to the right of the screen stuff and all that's 720 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 1: really really good, but but find ways to kind of 721 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: let him work in space. If he could catch the 722 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,800 Speaker 1: ball at seven yards and make another ten yards just 723 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 1: because of a run, I think that's a good thing. 724 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 1: You know. I'm surprised that we haven't seen, you know, 725 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore go with a little bit more of that 726 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,520 Speaker 1: with him in the backfield, instead of just saying, okay, 727 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 1: putting an extra tight end on the field or putting 728 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: an extra wide receiver on the field, you know, just 729 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 1: maybe maybe think about him as a mismatched player a 730 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 1: little bit more. This is a great opportunity for Kellen 731 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 1: Moore this week with when you're going up against an 732 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,799 Speaker 1: Eagles team that knows you so well, okay, from yours 733 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:30,360 Speaker 1: past and what and now with let's say a shortage 734 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: of personnel, these guys can make place. There's a these 735 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,359 Speaker 1: guys are in the NFL, and then figuring out ways 736 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: to use them because you can figure out creative ways 737 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 1: to use them where that are not on tape, they 738 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 1: have not seen and to be able to start it out. 739 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,800 Speaker 1: I mean there's there are when when you play a 740 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,799 Speaker 1: division opponent, and we saw it with Sean Lee time 741 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: and time again against division opponents. He had those offenses 742 00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: scoped out. Okay, and I think that this is an 743 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,799 Speaker 1: opportunity really to see the creativity that Kellen Moore has 744 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 1: in this offense. That's a good point. I don't disagree 745 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 1: with you. I think that you know, I think he's 746 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,240 Speaker 1: a little bit hamstrung by the fact that he doesn't 747 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,359 Speaker 1: have his two tackles. Yeah, I was gonna say, how 748 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,320 Speaker 1: creative you want to get you know, those two guys 749 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 1: on your edge, you know, And and you know, we've 750 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: had discussions on the show about the quarterback and him 751 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: taking hits, and you know, it's it's tough. It's tough 752 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: when you're calling plays and you're thinking, okay, how can 753 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: I how can I be aggressive here and then not 754 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,319 Speaker 1: get my quarterback killed? You know, that's that's a that's 755 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: a thought you have to and it's a it's a 756 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 1: fine line that these coordinators walk because Jim Schwartz knows 757 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: he's down weapons, and Jim Schwartz is like, listen, I 758 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 1: can cover Devin Smith, I can cover Tavon Austin with 759 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: my guys. So I'm just gonna go ahead and blitz linebackers. 760 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make I'm gonna make these running backs have 761 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,359 Speaker 1: to pick up. I'm gonna make them have to keep 762 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: tight ends in. I'm gonna make Brandon Knight have to 763 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,399 Speaker 1: block in this game. You know. Yeah, I mean that's 764 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,320 Speaker 1: the fine line you walk. That's why I kind of 765 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 1: liked that first drive out of the out of halftime 766 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 1: against the Jets. I know that they were behind fifteen points, 767 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 1: but they didn't panic and this stuff out run. Yeah, 768 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: just trying to take some pressure off of Dak and 769 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 1: and try to keep the Jets a little honest. Just 770 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 1: blitz it all the time, right, you know, and don't 771 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 1: don't lose faith in your running back and your running game. Well, actually, 772 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 1: that second half when they actually played offense. It was balanced, 773 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: twenty one runs, twenty one passes. Yeah, but how do 774 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 1: you like you're also working against the clock? Ya, how 775 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,239 Speaker 1: do you like Brandon Graham against Cam Fleming or Yeah, yeah, 776 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,319 Speaker 1: that's that's where I mean. If you lose Dak Prescott, 777 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: then everything is you know, we're we're talking Welcome to 778 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 1: the Draft show kind of a thing. But you know, 779 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 1: to me, you know, it's it's it's a fine line 780 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 1: that these guys walk. And you know, we were saying, well, 781 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: there's a lot of first down runs. Yeah, a lot 782 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 1: of first down runs. Because what happens is you get 783 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 1: to a point in time like if I just keep 784 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: dropping back, something is going to happen here. And I 785 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 1: mean there's some good things that can happen, but there's 786 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,000 Speaker 1: a lot of also some bad things, especially when you 787 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 1: don't have you're starting two tackles playing on that on 788 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: the field. It's trying to keep that down a distance manageable. Well. Yeah, 789 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,839 Speaker 1: and people say, well, well Dan Brian, it's second and nine. 790 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,879 Speaker 1: How what are you gonna do now? Yeah, Well, well 791 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 1: you weren't playing to be second and nine. I know, 792 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 1: I know that's the Yeah, but you get a lot 793 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 1: of that twelve personnel stuff, and that brings seven eight 794 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 1: down in that box and maybe we can see him 795 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 1: spread those things out a little bit. By the way 796 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,320 Speaker 1: Dave Hellman said, it sounds like personal, personal for Travis 797 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 1: Travis Frederick personal reasons. That's why he's not at practice today. 798 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 1: And we will be here tomorrow to dive deeper into 799 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:47,120 Speaker 1: these Philadelphia Eagles as the road to the Super Bowl continues. 800 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 801 00:41:51,200 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. H
