The following is a production of 4 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. 5 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: Are you ready for a break? Yes? Are you ready 6 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: for a break? Absolutely ready for a break? Yeah, and 7 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: so much for that. It's time for the Break On 8 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot Com. Were with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, 9 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Hello, guys, welcome to 10 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: another episode of The Break. We're gonna are off this 11 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: show talking just a little bit about the Eagles since 12 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: we talked about it yesterday. They end up winning thirty 13 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: four twenty seven at Green Bay. What do you guys 14 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: think of that game? I really thought I was going 15 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: to be right for a minute there, but I wasn't. 16 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: Packers lost. But I'm pulling it. Make you right now? 17 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: We were right? We were right? Well, I feel I 18 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: feel right too. Like I said, even if the Eagles 19 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: were to lose that game, they're gonna get it together. 20 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: And they certainly looked like they kind of found their 21 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: stride a little bit last night. Yeah, you know, as 22 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: the game was going on and I actually put this 23 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: on Twitter. But I've thought that this game against the 24 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: Saints has gotten even bigger because I really feel like 25 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: this is the biggest challenge that they've got here in 26 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: the next few weeks, because I know they have Aaron Rodgers, 27 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: but the Packers don't scare It shouldn't scare anyone really 28 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: with what they were throwing out there, especially what happened 29 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: at the end of the game. So I just thought 30 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: that the Saints game got even bigger in my mind 31 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: because I looked at the Eagles and the Packers and said, 32 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: the Cowboys should be able to beat both of these 33 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: teams because they are better than both those teams. Doesn't 34 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: mean they'll it'll happen, but they should. I mean, I 35 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: saw you say that last night, and I didn't want 36 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: to get into a Twitter back and forth, especially since 37 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: we're on a show together. But I don't necessarily buy that. 38 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I am curious Davante Adams hurt his toe. 39 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: Maybe he won't be able to go against the Cowboys 40 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: next week, but that's big if that happens. It's the NFL. 41 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: It's a great quarterback who's got a history of beating 42 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Like I like that's it's and it's fun, 43 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: you know, it's fun to be on Twitter and talking 44 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: to people about games as they're happening. But everybody last 45 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: night was like, well, the Cowboys are just gonna be 46 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: able to do whatever they want against both of these teams, 47 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: and like, that's not how the NFL works. You spend 48 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: a week game planning for your opponent. You figure out 49 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: what they don't do well, and it's not as easy 50 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: is saying, no, Zeke's gonna run for five. Don't always 51 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: win games just because you're the very better. True, No, 52 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: I know that, But I do think that Aaron and 53 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers will give the Packers a chance to win 54 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: any game, especially against the Cowboys. But when you don't 55 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: run the football and you don't stop the run, those 56 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: are the two you know, line one and then line 57 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,119 Speaker 1: two in football, and they can't do either one right now. 58 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: So that's why I think the Cowboys should be able 59 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: to win that game. Not looking ahead, just saying that 60 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: this looks like the biggest challenge still with the Saints, 61 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: and I think that they are the better team than 62 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: the Packers and probably the Eagles. I will say, because 63 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: you know I'm I'm very aware of this. Like people 64 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: think I'm a downer, I think the Cowboys are better 65 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: than all of the teams on the schedule until the 66 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: bye week right now, in turn, like who's available, what 67 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: they're playing like, it looks like they're not better than 68 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: the buye No, I just mean, well, you're not looking 69 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: that far. That's as far as I'm willing to look 70 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: at a little break they when you start getting to 71 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: that point in the season, that when you start getting tougher. Yeah, 72 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you know we can afford to look ahead. 73 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: We're not the team you got. This is gonna be 74 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: a tough game against the Saints, but it's winnable. Tough 75 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: game against the Packers, but it's winnable. You should beat 76 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: the Jets. They look like garbage, and I don't think 77 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,239 Speaker 1: Darnold will be back. And then you got the Eagles, 78 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: and you never know what's going to happen in every 79 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: division game. But I like their odds in all of 80 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: those games. I'm not saying they're gonna win them all, 81 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: but I like their chances of winning all of those games. 82 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: All Right, Well, let's try to figure out who they 83 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: might not have available for this Sunday. Bring focus back 84 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: in Zack Martin. We talked about him yesterday. It turns 85 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: out that he did not practice. He didn't practice yesterday. 86 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: He's back today. He's back today. Every Jones says they 87 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: think he's gonna play. He even said it, Jerry said it. 88 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: Jones probably will say it. This is a classic case 89 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: of we only get to see fifteen minutes because you know, 90 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: I said, well, it's weird. He practice Wednesday and didn't 91 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: practice Thursday. He left practice Wednesday. He didn't finish it 92 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: because his back was bothering him, so they gave him 93 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: the day off. He's back today. And again we've said 94 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: it fifteen times like he's going to be managing this 95 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: probably all season. But he's an all Pro. He's a 96 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: super tough dude. Uh, they'll get him right by hooker 97 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: by crook, but he'll he'll be out there. Don't bring 98 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: it hooker there. Oh come on, it's an expression or 99 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: stop stop Cooper was Cooper's out there Okay, he's fine, 100 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: can handle the game. And and Xavier Woods is out 101 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: there too, which again three straight days of practice. I 102 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: think he's gonna play, which is a testament to him, 103 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: like you know he hurt his ankle two weeks in 104 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: less than two weeks ago. I'll start Brandon Knight. So well, 105 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: that's the obvious, the obvious three or Michael Gallup, Tyron 106 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: Crawford and Antoine Woods. They haven't practiced, they're not going 107 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: to play, forget about it. Brandon Knight, I think is 108 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: another good guess. Adam Redmond is another good guess. Is 109 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: he if Zach Martin is kind of being depth a 110 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: little bit. You have Joe Looney and Xavier Sue of Philo. 111 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: I mean you have yeah, agreed, agreed, So five Donovan Wilson. Okay, Well, 112 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: so I think Luke Gifford probably yeah, yeah, You're not 113 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: going to throw him into a game when you know 114 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: three days after he comes back. I talked to him 115 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: yesterday and he said his whole family was coming in 116 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: to watch the Packer gam and he's hoping that it's 117 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: his debut. He does not think he'll play this way. 118 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: I don't think he will either. Um and then okay, 119 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: so then you've got three. I think you have three options. 120 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson, Cavon Frasier, Cedric Wilson. Um Cavan was limited yesterday. 121 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: His Achilles is bothering him. Jason Garrett said, they're keeping 122 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: an eye on it, but he was out there today 123 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: and he was in the gunner spot on the punt team, 124 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: which like, yeah, a guy with a bad achilles maybe 125 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: you wouldn't have him at gunner. So I think he'll 126 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: be up. Yeah, and with Tavan coming back, Tavon Austin 127 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: coming back, but he's still not your outside receiver like 128 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: you want. So if something were to happen to it, 129 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: let's say Devin Smith. Yeah, I mean you have Cobb 130 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: or Tavon or Cedric wils I think Wilson's probably a 131 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: better option. And he was also feeling punts during special 132 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: teams today, which Donovan Donovan, I just if I had 133 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: to guess, I think maybe he's a healthy scratch yep, 134 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 1: um that's seven. Yeah, that's easy. That would be my guess. 135 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: I think that this was a pretty good week to 136 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: figure that one out. It helps when you have three 137 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: or four injured guys, and yeah, like injuries aren't good, 138 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: but in terms of figuring out the inactives, they help. Yeah. 139 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: All right, Well, um, I don't even know when we 140 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: should take a break. We're not right now. I'll go 141 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: ahead and start asking you guys some questions. I like 142 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: taking this moment to getting to questions from the fans. 143 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: Give them the chance. You pay more attention to the 144 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:59,599 Speaker 1: fans than Derek does. I try to, um you know that. 145 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: I I see some people asking about Tristan Hill and 146 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: what's going to happen there with the d line and 147 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: how confident you guys feel with based on what we 148 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: saw last game against the Dolphin. I think that. I 149 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 1: think with Stephen Jones that said it, you know, he 150 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: just got his feet wet, and that's probably a good 151 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: way to say it to mean he did. He got 152 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: out there. He made a couple of nice plays, but 153 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: not great plays. You know, wasn't the best competition, didn't 154 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,719 Speaker 1: do a whole lot in the second half, but I mean, 155 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: just just got out there, just learning how this thing works. 156 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: He hasn't been spectacular in training camp or anything like that. 157 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: He hasn't done any wild moments. So he just gotta 158 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: keep getting better. And I mean, I think it's a 159 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: good opportunity for him right now with Antoine Woods banged up, 160 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: because as soon as Woods comes back, I think he's 161 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: inactive again. So with his second game and then Robert 162 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: Quinn's second game playing. Are you expecting some kind of 163 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: improvement there in the d line and pressuring more the quarterback. 164 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: I think this is a big opportunity, not this isn't 165 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: Triston Hill specific, but I think it's a big opportunity 166 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: for the for the defensive tackles because I think I 167 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: think the Saints whole defense offensive line is good. But 168 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: if I was going to attack them, I would want 169 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: to attack him right up the middle because I think 170 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: Eric McCoy's a really good player. They drafted him high, 171 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: but he's a rookie and playing, you know, four games 172 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: into his season. And then you got Larry Warford, who 173 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: he's been good at times. But I mean, if I 174 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: had to pick a weak link on the Saints offensive line, 175 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: it would probably be him. So you know, you think 176 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: MALIEK Collins, Tristan Hill, Christian Covington, if you can get 177 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: something going there. I liked the idea of pushing the 178 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: pocket back on Teddy Bridgewater brought us thinks the Cowboys 179 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: are gonna blitz a lot to affect him, which that 180 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: would be intriguing. Again, maybe you know, you talk about 181 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: Jalen Smith rushing more. Maybe he can do that up 182 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 1: the middle. But the scary part about that to me 183 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 1: is when you blitz and you think that that um 184 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: I want to say some roles when you say that, Um, 185 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: come yeah, Camara, just read the Kara. I know, like 186 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: my instinct is to say Kamara, but that's not right. 187 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: It's Kamara. And as soon as you blitz and you 188 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: think he's in there to protect, and all of a sudden, 189 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: they dump it over everyone's head and now he's got space. 190 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: His his thirty two yard touchdown on the screen, which 191 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: I think there was like less than a minute in 192 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: the first half, and the Saints were on like the 193 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: thirty two and Seattle brought like a cover zero blitz 194 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: and Kamara scored on the scround. I was like, what 195 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: are you doing? Like, you will probably be able to 196 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: hold them to a field goal if you just play 197 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: something a little more vanilla, like why are you gonna 198 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: sell out like that? Um? So yeah, yeah, maybe be 199 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: careful with that because if you send your linebackers and 200 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: Kamara gets his hands on the ball, you might be 201 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: I agree, but just think Camaro Camaro, Hey, yeah, makes 202 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: it easy right into the show. Thanks all right, well side, Huh, 203 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: you're done with what working? I thought you were eating 204 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: a cupcake? Qu I did you know people keep complaining 205 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,719 Speaker 1: about the shows being forty five minutes? I see them 206 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: on Twitter just complaining about it, and you're over here 207 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: asking about cupcakes. Keep them on track. Let's get back 208 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: in time. Oh are you coming in on me? Aside 209 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: from the hostile environment that we talked about the hostile 210 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: environment of the studio in the Superdome? Aside from that? Wait, 211 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: did you on that? Have you guys seen that article 212 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: that I just saw it this morning? There was an 213 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: article saying that from some ticket data that's been around 214 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: that they've been able to evaluate, they suspect that it 215 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: will be a fifty percent fifty percent Cowboys to Saints fans. 216 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: I did in the state did said that out? I'm 217 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: not sure. I didn't read the whole article, but I 218 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: saw that. I saw that article. I haven't had a 219 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: chance to read it. There will be Cowboys fans there. 220 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 1: If there are Cowboys fans everywhere, but fifty there's no 221 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: way it's not a snowballs channel. And how do you 222 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: even calculate that? Well, I would assume so many people 223 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: in Texas spot tickets. Guess what if they're Saints fans 224 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: all over Texas. Get it, I get it. I'm just 225 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,839 Speaker 1: saying it was interesting to me. I don't know the 226 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: solidity of the article, but it did. It did raise 227 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: my interest. And also, because you guys do this almost 228 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: every week, don't come up to me two hours before 229 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: kickoff or an hour before kickoff and go look, look, 230 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: because Cowboy fans will show up early. We know, we 231 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: know the visiting team always shows up early, and it 232 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: looks like they're making some noise there. And then by 233 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: the Rams game, we really thought it was gonna be 234 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: fifty fifty in the visional round, and it was kickoff, 235 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: it was like, oh my god. And then by the time, 236 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it was probably more of a seventy thirty 237 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: Cowboys fans. If you're a Cowboys fans, whose legit that was? 238 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: Still that's always like that. Washington fans hate their team. 239 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: And there's also a lot of Cowboys fans out there. Yeah, no, 240 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: for sure, but Cowboys fans that go on the road usually, 241 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I know there's people that go to a 242 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: lot of Row games, but typically it's like it's your 243 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: one chance a year or maybe in your life to 244 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: see the Cowboys, You're going to go early. You want 245 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: to see your favorite players warming your jersey. Yep, Saints 246 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: fans are going to hang out in the concourses and 247 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: drink until they absolutely have to be outside or no, 248 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: that's what I tell you. They're gonna be. You know, 249 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: the plazas and the square and the streets, and there's 250 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: no open container laws in New Orleans, so you can 251 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: drink wherever the hell you want to. Let's just make 252 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: it out of there. I don't know how kids are 253 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: raised to take it out of there. It took a toll, 254 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: but it was fun. All right.

That's why the Cowboys rely on more 261 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: than just stats and scouting reports when building their team. 262 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: When picking a tractor, it's why you should rely on 263 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: more than just specs and feets.

How are you trying to stop him? 299 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: Talked about answer do you hear that this week? This week? 300 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: Or last year when he said choke him out? No, no no, no, 301 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: this week? How do you stop Alvin Kamara? I'm marry 302 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,479 Speaker 1: and it was like hit him like before they even like, 303 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: how do you say he's a hit him? Tackle him? Yeah, 304 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 1: punch him. That sounds like I mean just you know, 305 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 1: but I will say this and you I think it 306 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: was you Day that mentioned this from the game that 307 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: they played last week. If they would actually, if the 308 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks would have tackled him on first contact, you 309 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: would have had a very normal would have been a 310 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: very normal day. And it does make me wonder if 311 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: you want to talk about what the Cowboys can do 312 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: to limit him, tackle him, if you can get him 313 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: down when you first contact him, I think you make 314 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: a big Now that's easier said than done. He would 315 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: have been very good if started him. He was really 316 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: elusive and he's got some power. But they have done 317 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: it right. They were so and it wasn't just the 318 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: Saints game like last year. They were so good at 319 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: like you know, let Leyton vander Esh makes first contact 320 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: and before he can even regain his footing, there's like 321 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: four guys on top of him like they were gang 322 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: tackling machines last year, hitting him in the head. Well, 323 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: I mean yeah, the fact, I mean I would look 324 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: back that that didn't get flagged. The jail and hit 325 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: on him is still kind of amazing to me. But 326 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 1: I would look at that. I would just look at that, 327 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 1: as you know, I would dedicate as many resources as 328 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: I needed to to stop Kamara, even if that meant 329 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas goes off a little bit, because Michael Thomas, 330 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: the kind of receiver is he's not gonna be one 331 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: that's going fifty yards for touchdowns. If he has ten 332 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: catches and all those catches are average of seven eight 333 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 1: yards per catch, I think I'm still okay with that 334 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: if Camara doesn't get off right, So that's really that 335 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,719 Speaker 1: would be my focus as if I were coordinating the defense, 336 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop Camara first and foremost, and I'm gonna 337 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: make Bridgewater beat me. And even if he uses Michael Thomas, 338 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,239 Speaker 1: I still think that's not gonna be enough to keep 339 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: up with the points I'll produce. If Michael Thomas has 340 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: like ninety yards are less, and and then I think 341 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: that's a good thing. Like I'm well, obviously, but yeah, 342 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: like if you can hold them to even like a 343 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: one hundred yard day but Kamara doesn't do his thing, 344 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: I think that's fine. You win that game. Probably probably 345 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: as long as offense plays like it's been playing. Actually, 346 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: that one's gonna be really tough to do. What would 347 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 1: be the next one that I would say? Winning the 348 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 1: coin toss will will be important? It really will be. 349 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: I'm not joking because I think the first quarter is important. 350 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: Always take that very serious. Well, I think in this 351 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: case winning the I think you gotta get off to 352 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: a good start. I think if they can get play 353 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: defense first, that will help um anything that that will 354 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: get the Saints crowd going, ask them buying fifty fifty. 355 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it even if it is never mind, 356 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: I think I think it's a tough place to play, 357 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: and I think that the Cowboys need to get out early. 358 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: That's just the only recipe I've ever seen for them 359 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: going into the Superdome and winning was bunch them in 360 00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: the mouth, and that's what they did. And I think 361 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: that they need to do that early. So survide the 362 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: first quarter. Make Bridgewater be a real quarterback and have 363 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 1: to go and sling it around. I really didn't mean 364 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: that in a bad way. I just mean for him 365 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: to have to go and throw the ball and not 366 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: play as easy as a game as he was able 367 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: to play last week. I worry about not playing this 368 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: game cleanly, partially because of the atmosphere. Part I mean 369 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 1: you're on the road, partially because it's a good team. 370 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: But like we've you kind of seen it in spurts 371 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: through the first three weeks and they've been able to 372 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 1: overcome it because there's so much better. But you know, 373 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: a Connor Williams holding flag calls back a seventy yard touchdown. 374 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: Zach Martin has been flagged for holding twice. I think 375 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: it was both in the Giants game, but twice this year. 376 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: Connor Williams gets bullied by durn Payne and Dak throws 377 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: an interception in the first quarter on the road. Then 378 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff can kill you, especially I mean 379 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: against a better team too. And we haven't seen a 380 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: time it hasn't happened a ton, but it's never good 381 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: when you're behind the chains and holding penal, these false starts, 382 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: all that type of stuff will do that to you. 383 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: I worry about that, especially, you know in the first half, 384 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: when the crowd is that its peak of emotion and 385 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: all that stuff. Um, I'll be interested to see how 386 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: plainly they can play that. I have forgote all right, 387 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,239 Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking about penalties and stuff, but they've been 388 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: getting somebody. I think it kind of makes you forget 389 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: about it because they've been winning games the way that 390 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: they have. I mean, when you look at games they 391 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: do make they get the cob touchdown called back and 392 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: they go downfield in three plays and score anyway, and 393 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: you're like, oh yeah, cool. Like, but in a normal 394 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 1: game against a really good team, you punt that series 395 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: and it winds up in Nick's you know, five plays 396 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: to remember where you're like, this is where the game swung, 397 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: this is where it all went wrong. So they can 398 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: afford to make those kind of mistakes. And I don't 399 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 1: mean to. Obviously the Saints have great players, Like there's 400 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: other stuff they're gonna be challenged by. I think Lyle 401 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: Collins verse Cam Jordan is must see TV. But you 402 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: got that working against you, and it's a little bit 403 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: troubling because we've seen them get into those types of 404 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: holes at times. Can I throw this out real quick? 405 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: I went back to look up that article. It was 406 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: the study was done by excuse me, vivid Seats and 407 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: they do this for a lot of college and pro games, 408 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: and supposedly they're pretty accurate. And Nick, what did you 409 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: say was the percentage Cowboys fans at the Cowboys RAMS game? 410 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: I thought, but you know, by the end of the game, 411 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 1: I thought, like seventy thirty. Last year, they predicted it 412 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: would be thirty percent Cowboys fans at that RAMS game. 413 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: Based upon the data that they look at, it seems 414 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 1: like they were pretty accurate. And they say they're based 415 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: on this article. They're pretty accurate with a lot of 416 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: these projections because they do it based upon one of 417 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: the factors is location where the tickets about. But there 418 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,360 Speaker 1: are other data points that help normalize that a little bit, 419 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: because you argual with sometimes fan bases that will travel, 420 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: and I could see I could see the cow I 421 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: could see Cowboys fans getting up to thirty percent because 422 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are really good, so you want to go. 423 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 1: It's a fun road trip. So there's that. And then 424 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,959 Speaker 1: there's also of Cowboys fans living in Louisiana, so like 425 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: I could see it being a half the amount. But 426 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: fifty fifty is a little hard to blue. I agree, 427 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: I agree, but it just does I mean, the whole 428 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: thing just does give me something like that's that would 429 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 1: be really that would be a story of the game. 430 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: If you get fifty fifty in that place that's considered 431 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: by most accounts in the NFL as one of the 432 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: toughest places to go in and play. To get a 433 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: fifty fifty split into building like that, even to get 434 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: a forty sixty split in a building like that, I 435 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: think is remarkable. America's team baby. All right, Well, speaking 436 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 1: of fifty to fifty, let's figure out what the Cowboys 437 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 1: are going to do with the running backs this week. 438 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: You got Tony Pollar and Zikalalia. Fans are asking what 439 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: are y'all's expectations. How do you think that the Cowboys 440 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: will utilize them both this weekend. I really think there's 441 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: too much being made of this because, like I said 442 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 1: last week, I mean, in the first half of that game, 443 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: it was thirteen to two, Zeke and what he gets 444 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: followed gets like every three series, and then they carry 445 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: that into the third quarter, which you know that that's 446 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: a little bit different. But I still think that it's 447 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 1: this is not a if the Cowboy. If that game 448 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: would have been close, I think Zeke would have been 449 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: in there a lot more so. I agree, although I actually, 450 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: you know, especially because Michael Gallup's not going to be 451 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,479 Speaker 1: part of this. Somebody yesterday accused me of throwing shade 452 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: at Devin Smith and Randall Cobb. That's not my intention, 453 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: but I just I like this matchup a lot better 454 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: if you have two dynamic receivers. I know Cobb had 455 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 1: a long touchdown call back. We since the opener, we 456 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 1: haven't seen them taking advantage of him as much as 457 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: I would prefer. That would be great if they could 458 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: get him going. But I actually to counteract not having Gallop, 459 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,679 Speaker 1: I'd love to see them utilize Pollard more in the 460 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: passing game. Yeah, you know, even if it's just simple 461 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 1: stuff like screens and swing passes, but he clearly has 462 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: the speed to do something with that, and it would 463 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: be easy completions for Dak in this situation. I know 464 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: it was mentioned on the broadcast last night, but how 465 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: how much do you think Green Bay missed Cobb last night? 466 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 1: Just just having a guy especially around the goal line 467 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: and all that, you know, because if you absolutely gonna 468 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: not run the ball, he's a guy that you would 469 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: like to have, you know, work work in the middle there. 470 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 1: We talked a little bit about in the first part 471 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 1: of the show, and I think he is. I mean 472 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: he's on the verge of breaking out, like he I 473 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: wrote about this in my column this week, Like he's 474 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: had five catches for one hundred and twenty yards and 475 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: a touchdown called back over the last two weeks. How 476 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: much better would his stats look if if that hadn't happened. So, 477 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 1: you know, we talked about their linebackers are susceptible to 478 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: play action. This could be a big spot. I would 479 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,360 Speaker 1: love to see that. I think he's so valuable and dangerous. 480 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: I'd love to see him have an increased role this week. 481 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: What do the Cowboys need to do? And you guys 482 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: probably won't really have an answer to this, but get 483 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: some interceptions, get some turnovers. They had opportunities. It's exactly 484 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: what I asked Chris Richard that yesterday. I was like, yeah, 485 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: I was like, I know this is a hard thing 486 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: to answer, but like, what do you coach these guys, 487 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: because I mean, if there was a coaching point do it, 488 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: then you would do it. And he was like, just 489 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: just catch the ball. And he was like he's like, 490 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: Xavier is gonna be mad at me, but the one 491 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: in Washington, I mean, just catch the ball.

And 499 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: then last week he's looking at the ball and he 500 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: gets Alan Hearns in the head. What's this?

Let me here listening to jerrys yea mayor 599 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: from West Texas. Okay, maybe, Oh all right, I got 600 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: the Cowboys winning. Is that what we're doing? I mean, 601 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: you're running the show. Go for it. Wow, this is 602 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: a testy show. He's trying to talk football, and I 603 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 1: respect it because it's Friday, we're facing the Saints. Like, 604 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: there are things to talk about. There are things that 605 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: fans wanted here. I wanted to get into game day perditions, 606 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: so we can get that out of the way and 607 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: then continue with fan questions. So okay, let's go go ahead. 608 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,479 Speaker 1: You started, Dave. Uh, it's ironic because all week I'm like, 609 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: you know, these teams are pretty even, all things being equal, 610 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: and when all things are equal, you should lean toward 611 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: the better quarterback, which it's Dak Prescott in this game. 612 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: But Dak Prescott beat Drew Brees last year and Teddy 613 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: Bridgewater b Russell Wilson on Sunday. So it's not a 614 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: hard and fast rule. I'm still gonna live by it. 615 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: I think these teams are pretty equal. They both have 616 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 1: great running backs, they both have great receivers. The Saints 617 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: defense isn't playing great right now, but they're at home. 618 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: They've got more talent than the stats suggest. I don't 619 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a walk in the park. Um. 620 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys can hold the Saints to field 621 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 1: goals when it matters. I see the Saints having to 622 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: settle for like two or three field goals. It won't 623 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: be pretty for all sixty minutes. But I think the 624 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys will look good on offense. I think they can 625 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: get to like twenty seven points and I think they 626 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: win twenty seven twenty three. And Maher is struggling. I mean, 627 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: if he's if I got him, scoring twenty seven, then 628 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,919 Speaker 1: that means he's probably gonna kick two field goals. This 629 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 1: is an extra point. Uh that No, he's gonna he's 630 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: gonna go two of two. They're and they're not. I mean, 631 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: they'll be like forty something yarders. Um, what else do 632 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: I think? I think the game will be in doubt 633 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: down to the end, like the Dallas defense will make 634 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,240 Speaker 1: a stop or something like that. But it'll be stressful. 635 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: But I do think the Cowboys will win. Her hands 636 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 1: will be sweating at least. Mind will I don't know. 637 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,839 Speaker 1: It sounds like there's there's gonna be It'll be pretty 638 00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: cold on the field though towards the end of the game. Yeah, 639 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 1: I've got the Cowboys winning. I mean, I've kind of 640 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: gone back and forth a little bit, but then my 641 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 1: thought all along is just you know, they haven't shown 642 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,359 Speaker 1: me anything yet to suggest that not to pick them. Um, yeah, 643 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 1: they're gonna play better teams, but I still think that 644 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 1: they're they're gonna be better here. I agree with the quarterback. 645 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 1: I think that they're gonna have to make Bridgewater play 646 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: be more uncomfortable than last week. And I've got the offense, 647 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: you know, staying in that that thirty point range. I 648 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,280 Speaker 1: got them with thirty points. So I'm gonna say Cowboys 649 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: thirty to twenty over the Saints. A little not super comfortable, 650 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: but not a two score game. Thirty twenty all right, 651 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,720 Speaker 1: that's close to where I was thinking. Um, I actually 652 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: think that the final score will look a lot less 653 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,479 Speaker 1: like the game. I think it'll be a close game 654 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: throughout most of the game. I think the Cowboys will 655 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 1: pull away at the end, though I think ultimately I 656 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 1: think that this team. I think the Saints what we 657 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: saw last week. I think what we gonna find is 658 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 1: that their offense is not They can't score at the 659 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: pace that the Cowboys can. And I think the Cowboys 660 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 1: will do a good job of not giving away turnovers, 661 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,879 Speaker 1: not allowing those scores that come from special teams, those 662 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 1: extra things that can sometimes they've got in the way 663 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: of Seattle last week. So I think that at the 664 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: end of the day, Dwellan's only get ends up scoring seventeen. 665 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 1: But I think the Cowboys keep scoring significant amount of 666 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 1: points like they've done in the first three games. I 667 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: think the final scores thirty four seventeen. I think in 668 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter Cowboys blow the roof off this thing 669 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: and it's it's a Cowboys. It seems like a Cowboys blowout, 670 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 1: and everybody will be looking at it, and afterwards, as 671 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 1: revisionist history usually goes, after, everybody will say, well, we 672 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: should have seen this coming, because that offense just isn't 673 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: the same without it. If it's a sixty minute I 674 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,760 Speaker 1: don't care. If it's a sixty minute game, it doesn't. 675 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 1: I mean, if you win by three scores against the 676 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 1: roster that's talented in their place, that's really impressive. Well, 677 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: we just finished saying it's gonna be fifty fifty splits. 678 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's I mean, that would be I 679 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,399 Speaker 1: think I said that about the Washington game and they 680 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: kind of did it. Like they won by ten. You know, 681 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 1: the end of the game kind of detracted from it 682 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: a little bit. But like, you go on the road 683 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,440 Speaker 1: and beat a team that's talented, even without their quarterback 684 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 1: by seventeen points, that would be very, very impressive. I 685 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,240 Speaker 1: think I think it's gonna be close. Earlier, it probably 686 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 1: is going to be a point in the game when 687 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,399 Speaker 1: the Cowboys aren't winning. I just think when it's all 688 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 1: said and done, I think it's going to start feeling 689 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: like a shootout. And what's going to happen is Cowboys 690 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,400 Speaker 1: are gonna keep scoring in New Orleans won't and I 691 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: think he'll be at the end of the game out. 692 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 1: I don't agree with your expectations here, but there's been 693 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: like two games that you've been pretty close this year. 694 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 1: We've all been pretty good this year, Like we've all 695 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: picked comfortable wins three weeks in a row. I'm talking 696 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,880 Speaker 1: to score. I was three points off in both the 697 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 1: last two games. I was a lot closer the first 698 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 1: two weeks. Last week I kind of slipped. Well, you know, 699 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:58,319 Speaker 1: um again, there are some people that are already bought 700 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: in with the Cowboys and what are doing right now, 701 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 1: and then there are some others there aren't just yet. 702 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 1: Alex Comatch ask if the Cowboys are to be the Saint, So, 703 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,320 Speaker 1: what do you need to see from their plays to 704 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:17,760 Speaker 1: rainforce your belief that they are a top five NFL team? 705 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: What do I need to like? Something specific? Like the 706 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,800 Speaker 1: plays they run they're like, I mean, win by seventeen, 707 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: win by seventeen, and the entire I mean again, I 708 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:29,839 Speaker 1: don't care if your breeze isn't there. If you go 709 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 1: in there and win by seventeen. Everybody in America is 710 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 1: going to be talking about him on Monday morning, specifically 711 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: stopping Kamara, because the Seahawks could not do that at home. 712 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: And you know, now there's a lot of talk about 713 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,319 Speaker 1: how he's a he's not just a gadget player. He's 714 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,319 Speaker 1: in every down back and he's one of the best 715 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 1: in the leagues. And everybody who plays fantasy football knows 716 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 1: that he's one of the top guys. And if they 717 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,320 Speaker 1: go in there and tackle them, wrap them up and 718 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: keep him at the same level they had last year, 719 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,920 Speaker 1: which was I believe thirty six rushing yards in thirty 720 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 1: six receiving yards in the range three point seven yards 721 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: per touch, win the game and kind of stop their 722 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,359 Speaker 1: best player. Yeah, I'll throw this in, like, if keep 723 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: keep doing the things you've been doing against bad teams 724 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 1: against a good team, so efficiency in the red zone, 725 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,880 Speaker 1: Like let's say they get down there four times, score 726 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 1: touchdowns three times, convert third downs at the click you 727 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: have been which is forty to sixty percent. If you're 728 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 1: doing you know, bad third down percentage. If they hold 729 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: the Saints to twenty or less or twenty four or 730 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,399 Speaker 1: less in their house. Again, that's how you get people 731 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: talking about you being impressive is doing the stuff that 732 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: looked easy against bad teams against a good team. But 733 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 1: you know, as we talked about before, when you talk 734 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: to start talking about what people are gonna say, it's 735 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,719 Speaker 1: a moving target. Like I said, if the Cowboys go 736 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: out and play an excellent game this week, I still 737 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,359 Speaker 1: think there will be people that will say, well, they 738 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: did it without Breeze, you know, and then you go 739 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: and you play the Packers, Well they did it without Davante. Like, 740 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: there will always be reasons until you get to the 741 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: game against New England, where people will say they'll figure 742 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 1: out a reason why, Well, maybe they aren't as good 743 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 1: as we think they are. Let's just hold and see. 744 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: And to be honest with you, that's fine, you're not. 745 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 1: This is not a popularity contest. It's not like college 746 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 1: where you have to impress in order to rise in 747 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: the polls. But the end of the day, you're gonna 748 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to show it one life. Though people 749 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,799 Speaker 1: do that, there's people that are like wow, yeah, but 750 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,040 Speaker 1: not like I'm saying that that that question that it 751 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: just really like, at the end of the day, it's 752 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 1: not going to matter what they do. Not only it 753 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 1: just went you're right, but like that is it's it's 754 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 1: so it's a fun thing about football fandom is like 755 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 1: we're in this bubble of like we don't really deal 756 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 1: with people that aren't associated with the Cowboys. You know, 757 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 1: we work for the team. We spend our lives surrounded 758 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 1: by the team. Like that matters to people because like 759 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,279 Speaker 1: if the Cowboys look like crap, their cousin's gonna call 760 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: them when the game's over, or like the guy that 761 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,839 Speaker 1: has the cube next to them is like a big 762 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 1: freaking deal. They didn't have Drew Brees, Like of course 763 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,279 Speaker 1: you won, and like and you don't get the satisfaction 764 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 1: out of the win, Like I get that, but for 765 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,840 Speaker 1: the purposes that no matter what, yeah, right, for the 766 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,279 Speaker 1: purposes of whether or not this team is actually any good, 767 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: none of that matter. But again, it's the trends, like 768 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 1: are you converting third downs? Are you converting in the 769 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 1: red zone? Are you limiting the run? You know, there's 770 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 1: a what like the Cowboys could win this game twenty 771 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:15,480 Speaker 1: to seventeen and look like crap doing so, and you 772 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,239 Speaker 1: would be like, oh, that's problematic. You know, like if 773 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,640 Speaker 1: they're three or fourteen on third down, but they do 774 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 1: just enough to eke out a win. A win's a win. 775 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 1: But you're like, oh, maybe this offense isn't what we 776 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 1: thought it was, you know. I mean, so it just 777 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: depends on what happens. But those are the guidelines I'm 778 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: looking for. Ye Now, what would you say is the 779 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:39,919 Speaker 1: Cowboys weakest link, weakest area both It could be either 780 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: on offense or defense. Going up against the Saints this weekend, 781 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,240 Speaker 1: the area where they I want to see you expect 782 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 1: them to struggle the most. I don't expect them to struggle, 783 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,840 Speaker 1: but I mean I have a close eye on the linebackers. 784 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:55,760 Speaker 1: We talked about it all week. There's you know, people 785 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 1: are debating whether or not Jalen's you know, any good 786 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,799 Speaker 1: or whatever. In Layton. Van hasn't been bad, but he 787 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,440 Speaker 1: hasn't played like an all pro And this is going 788 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 1: to be a test, Like they're playing a guy that 789 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,239 Speaker 1: will test them. So that's what I'm watching. I think 790 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: for me, the receivers, they got to get open, and 791 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:12,719 Speaker 1: you know they did in the second half, but they 792 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,399 Speaker 1: struggled in the first half to get open and Dak 793 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,359 Speaker 1: had time and I don't think he'll have as much 794 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,400 Speaker 1: time as he did in that game and the receipt 795 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 1: and I think the cornerbacks in the secondary is better 796 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 1: for the Saint. So these guys without Gallup, they've got 797 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,439 Speaker 1: to get open and I think that'll be the key there, 798 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,919 Speaker 1: I will say, And it's similar what Dave was saying, 799 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,799 Speaker 1: but I'll take it a little bit farther. It's really 800 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 1: the rush defense for me, because when this team over 801 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 1: the last two years, over the last season and the 802 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 1: beginning of this season, when you've seen any chink in 803 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 1: their armory, it typically has revolved around them not being 804 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,799 Speaker 1: able to stop the run. And they've lost some games 805 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 1: against good teams for not being able to stop the run. 806 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,359 Speaker 1: So I want to see this week when you have 807 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,799 Speaker 1: a Camara who is the primary running back. Last year 808 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,120 Speaker 1: he was a guy that was split and carries. He's 809 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,600 Speaker 1: the primary guy. Now with him being the primary guy, 810 00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 1: can you consistently stop him throughout the game around the 811 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 1: outside of the biddle, all the different things he does? 812 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 1: Can you stop him? And And that to me is 813 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 1: about that whole front seven. Can they can they do 814 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: a good job, a good enough job to be able 815 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,240 Speaker 1: to bottle him up and not let him break tackles 816 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:16,240 Speaker 1: and turn what would be small gains into much bigger gains. Now, 817 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: just to finish up, I know we've talked and you've 818 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:23,280 Speaker 1: given the scouting report on the Saints and all that. Um, 819 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 1: I see someone asking who offensively outside of Kamara Kimara 820 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:34,080 Speaker 1: whatever or and Thomas Post the biggest threat for the Cowboys. Wait, 821 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: you're saying a Saint's offensive play other than than those 822 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:44,279 Speaker 1: two guys. I think. I mean, he can run and 823 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 1: he can fly by you. Ted again, tray Kuan Smith 824 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 1: is better than this show has given him credit for. 825 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 1: I mean, and that's he gonna play? Yeah, I think 826 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 1: he's he was. He miss practiced the first two days. 827 00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,759 Speaker 1: I don't know what he did today. That's well, yeah, 828 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 1: that's what I think. I'm sure he missed two days already. 829 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,319 Speaker 1: They keep getting breaks then, which in that case I 830 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,759 Speaker 1: would probably again. Yeah, I mean, you could say Jared Cooke, 831 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,279 Speaker 1: but tight end. What I was gonna say about Trey 832 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 1: Quon Smith is I don't if Drew Brees is there, 833 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:15,719 Speaker 1: I feel a lot worse about it. I don't. I 834 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,360 Speaker 1: don't necessarily trust Teddy Bridgewater to make that happen. And 835 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,120 Speaker 1: I kind of feel the same way about Jared Cook. 836 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I think he caught one ball for 837 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,840 Speaker 1: seven yards against Seattle, and I know they've really tamped 838 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,920 Speaker 1: down their game plan. But still, but that's the only 839 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 1: reason I would say maybe Jared Cook is because again, 840 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,080 Speaker 1: for for a lot of quarterbacks, to tight end represents 841 00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:39,400 Speaker 1: what is the easiest throw, the easiest identification of an 842 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,239 Speaker 1: open guy. And so if you get in that kind 843 00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 1: of situation, well, maybe this creates some opportunities where he 844 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,720 Speaker 1: and Bridgewater start connecting a little bit more. They're obviously 845 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 1: practicing together. I mean, you don't get snaps when you're 846 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 1: the backup quarterbacks. Jared Cook's first game against the Cowboys, 847 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,279 Speaker 1: since you know what, he made that bank from the 848 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,920 Speaker 1: big catch, he ain't doing that with Teddy Bridgewater. I'm 849 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 1: sorry I'm making that threat. I think I don't maybe 850 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,239 Speaker 1: maybe I don't think we have to say bye yeah 851 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,240 Speaker 1: for us to get off. How about this handle handle 852 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,959 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara And if somebody else finds 853 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,080 Speaker 1: a way to beat you, then that's just bad luck. 854 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 1: I think we'll be okay. All right, Well, there you go, 855 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,440 Speaker 1: Thank you guys. So much for joining us today.
