00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: LSU Ole Miss was playing Miss Lsu at LSU on Halloween.

19
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,240

00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: I don't think so. This would have been eighty two maybe, Mickey.

21
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: That was my freshman year at LSU. Three. Was it

00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: turned them for touchdown. The game was over. In the

25
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: place was just coming apart at the scene. It was anyway,

26
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: we covered the game and we got back to Jackson.

27
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: It's a three hour drive, and somebody was having a

28
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: Halloween party and we walked in and they go, uh,

29
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: what did you guys come as go drunk? Sports writers?

36
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: was Lincoln Paper and he Virgil Parker whose name was

37
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: and he would smoke a cigar in the press box

38
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: and when Nebraska had the ball, he lit the cigar.

39
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 1: When Nebraska didn't have the ball, he put it out

40
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, I know what kind of you

44
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: I've been a few though. That is extremely frowned upon

45
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL, But it happened. It was frowned upon

46
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: in college. It's ut at Nebraska. I'm sure I'll get

47

84
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: Mark Colombo is the new offensive line coach. And I

85
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: thought we we could get into Tennessee a little bit here, sure,

86
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: start on them at some point in the show. Happened

87
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: to do that for you talk a little tight and

88
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: for the Monday night matchup at at and T Stadium

89
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: coming up, you guys can call us eight five five

90
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: two two ninety seven is the number and check in.

91
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: I thought we could start though with the trade deadline yesterday.

92
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: We know what the Cowboys did last week, and there's

93
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: been some movement in the NFC East. Yeah, a lot

94
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: of teams seeing that they have a chance. Huh. Yeah.

95
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: I want to get y'alls thoughts on what you saw

96
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: within the division. And you know there's a couple receivers

97
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: traded in the league, a couple veteran receivers traded. Your

98
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: thoughts on the deals made for Golden Tate to Philly

99
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: and the Marrius Thomas to the Texans. I thought that

100
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: the Tate deal, I mean, that's just kind of a

101
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: rental player, right, Yeah, thirty years old, free last year

102
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: of his contract, really a free agent next year. So

103
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: Detroit wasn't going to keep them. And it was like, okay, well,

104
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: let's get something for him. And where did they get,

105
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: like a third round, third round pick? Yeah, so they

106
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: got something for him, and um, you know, and then

107
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: I guess you could look back and say, well, if

108
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: he you know, does well, we get a compensatory pick

109
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. Right, So yeah, okay, fine, you know,

110
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: rental player Damarius Thomas to me, another guy going to

111
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,799
Speaker 1: be thirty one years old in his in his ninth season.

112
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: So they're there, and he's got a kind of similar

113
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: to fourteen million dollars. Yeah, similar career path not not.

114
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: Maybe personal numbers have been great every year and then

115
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: the last year and now this year, and they will

116
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: sign their deals quarterback at the same time. Quarterback play

117
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: has been really bad for them. Yeah, and so you know,

118
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: I think he's probably still got something, uh fourth round

119
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: for the Texans. Yeah, that they gave up before now

120
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: and I think he still has something like he can

121
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: he can probably still play and help him. And they

122
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: just lost Corey Fuller, right, they did knee injury, knee injury,

123
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: and they were other than Hopkins, they were kind of

124
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: down yea at wide receivers. So you can see that.

125
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: And you know Washington with haha, Clinton dicks to me

126
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: is they traded for a name. I don't know how

127
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: great a player he is. Safety, gave up a fourth

128
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: round and he's another one. He's going to be an

129
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: unrestricted free agent next year, so you're running the guy

130
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: for eight weeks ninety free baseball like some of these trades. Yeah,

131
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: and exactly because and what used to irritable except in baseball,

132
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: they do it when they don't think they're going anywhere, right,

133
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: and they unload guys and then you get's like, well,

134
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: now what do you do next year? Because you got

135
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: to replace them? But with this, they probably weren't resigning

136
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: him and I don't know their defense and all that

137
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: great anyway, Yeah, I think the thing that I think,

138
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: the thing that what I kind of took away from

139
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: that is what I just said when we opened the

140
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: segment here, is that these teams are all looking at

141
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: this as this division's wide open. You know, they're they're

142
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: looking at, Okay, can I add one or two players

143
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: here or there to maybe win this division? You know,

144
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: obviously the Eagles feel like that they need, you have

145
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: more of a presence catching the football than what they

146
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: have right now. You know, they've got to. I mean,

147
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: Golden Tate's a nice player, he really is. I mean,

148
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: here's I think he'll help them. I think he'll help

149
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: them more than what Thomas will probably help Houston. I

150
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: think Thomas is more at the end. But Tate, that's

151
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: a legitimate player there, and it was You're right, Mickey,

152
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: it's right now. It's a rental, is what it is.

153
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: The Eagle is probably looking at this is they're going

154
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: to get a couple of compensatory picks. They're planning on

155
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: a couple of different guys that they lost that they're

156
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: able to probably pull back a three or four, and

157
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: so they're they're they're looking at that deal that way.

158
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys are unique in the way is

159
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: they need help, but they're looking at their deal more

160
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: long term. They're looking at their guy is saying okay,

161
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: you know, and obviously by giving up a first round pick.

162
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: You're thinking about more long term than you are just

163
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: you know, eight or nine weeks. So you know that's

164
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: the difference. But people within the division, you know, the

165
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: Giants were sellers, and you know they feel like that.

166
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: You know, they're they're right now trying to figure out

167
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: if they're gonna need to bench Eli Manning. So you

168
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: got to take them out of them out of the mix.

169
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: But the other three teams feel like that they've got

170
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: a legitimate chance to win this division and they just

171
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: want to make sure that they if they can add

172
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: a piece or two along the way to ensure that,

173
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: then that's exactly what they had to do. So, yeah,

174
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: the Giants traded away Snacks Harrison to Detroit and Eli

175
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: Apple to the Saints, both teams that are trying to

176
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: stay in the mix. Obviously, the Saints are doing very well,

177
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: and I brought up those two receivers first because third

178
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: round pick for Golden Tate, fourth round pick for Damarius Thomas.

179
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: Some reaction is that, oh, maybe the Cowboys overpaid you know,

180
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: first round pick. You guys were saying, Okay, it's a

181
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: rental for Golden Tate. He probably won't be resigned there

182
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: and Mickey mentioned the age of both of those guys.

183
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: I think that's the bigger concern I would have, you know,

184
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: these are guys in their thirties now. Yeah, and Cooper,

185
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: we talked about it last week and this week twenty

186
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: four years old. I think the Cowboys look at him essentially.

187
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: I had Stephen Jones this last week. He's essentially their

188
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: first round pick. Yeah. I mean that's what do you

189
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: because age wise, if you went and drafted a twenty

190
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: one year old wide receiver, okay, three years difference, and

191
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: this guy has proven he can play in the league,

192
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: there's not a projection made. This guy can play. Yeah.

193
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: So and they get us and they get a season

194
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: and a half interview of him to determine if they

195
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: want to sign them to an extension. Now our long term,

196
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: but your hope is your going hope is you really

197
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: like what you see this year, and they sure to

198
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: do it next year and lower the cap hit. That's

199
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: fourteen million dollars. The only the only downside to this.

200
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: And Nebbie brought it up a while back, and we

201
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if we really addressed it,

202
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: but if you were in fact looking at a quarterback,

203
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: and then that pick that you were going to make

204
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: or potentially make or could have made, would have been

205
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 1: a quarterback or quarterbacks at that spot. Yep. But that's

206
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: the only that's the one downside I would see if

207
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: you were if if yeah, and if you were looking

208
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: at your quarter back spot, don't you think they consider that?

209
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: And I think what they're telling you by using the

210
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: first round pick is dek Prescott's gonna be Yeah, that's

211
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: that's what they're That's it clearly. But that mean if

212
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: I was looking at it from the outside, I would say, Okay,

213
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: if you evaluate your quarterback and okay, we're gonna go

214
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: with him another year. You know, Okay, I see it.

215
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: But but that that's the only the only real downside

216
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: that I have with this whole thing is you know,

217
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: I again I applaud the the general manager for trying

218
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: to do something I don't. I'm I'm always trying to

219
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: make my team better. That's the whole plan. I mean,

220
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: what what how can I make my team better? Oh?

221
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: I can do this, I can do you know, give

222
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: me options, give me opportunity, give me the ability to

223
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: evaluate and to add players along the way. I just don't.

224
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: I just don't see real downside to this other than

225
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: what I just said, you know, And I thought Nebby

226
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: brought up a great point. If in fact, you were

227
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: in the quarterback market or you were thinking about making

228
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: a pick for a back, you know, you potentially could

229
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: have used that for a and that might be really

230
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: one of the only positions that you would, you know,

231
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: feel badly about. Everything else. You can kind of say, Okay,

232
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: I could find me a tight end. Okay, I could

233
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 1: find a defensive tackle, Okay, I could find me a

234
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: you know, an offensive lineman. Oh, I can find me

235
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: a safety, you know, everything else. Those quarterbacks come at

236
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: a premium price. The history says, if you don't draft

237
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: one in the first round, you're not gonna you're not

238
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: gonna get one. Yeah. Yeah, Dak has turned out to

239
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: be a productive guy for the most part, you know,

240
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: as a fourth round draft pick. That's rare, really rare. No,

241
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: it is very rare. But I just don't, you know,

242
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: I think you have to look at this, you know,

243
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: like I say, you know, there's gonna come a time

244
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: where to me and if and if it gets this

245
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: and I'm not because I'm I'm willing to see this

246
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: thing out till the end, but there's gonna be it

247
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: could very well be a more important thing. You have

248
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: to think about the coaching, you know, that's what you

249
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: have to think. And I'm not I'm just bringing that up.

250
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: People are making a big deal about not having a

251
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: first round pick. I think the decision you're making on

252
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: your coach, whether you keep him or not, it's going

253
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: to be a bigger decision whether you have a first

254
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: round pick or not. Me personally, I think that's a

255
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: I think that's a more important decision than a first

256
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 1: round player in my in my book. But I again,

257
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: i'm I'm I'm I'm one of these guys that, hey,

258
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: let's see this thing through. You know, hopefully everything pulls together,

259
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: the moves they made with the coaching change at offensive

260
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: line and then also the help at wide receiver, and

261
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: hopefully your defense can continue to play well. You're about

262
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: to be really tested here, you know, in the coming weeks.

263
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: If they can continue on with the path they're going,

264
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: I think they're in good shape. But again, at the

265
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: end of the season, you know, I think there's even

266
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: a bigger decision. Let's see when we get there. And

267
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: I would not. They've done this before and it was

268
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: a mistake tying moves into the head coach, and I

269
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: don't believe that's what they're doing. There's this idea out

270
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: there that to save Jason Witten. I can think back

271
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: to ye. Sorry, I'll be doing the game Monday night,

272
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. I believe it was the head

273
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: coach wanted a hybrid, stand up linebacker that could be

274
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: a pass rusher. Williams, Jason Williams their third round pick

275
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine, but it was their first pick, yeah,

276
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: because they traded back twice. It was two thousand and nine. Yeah, right,

277
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: that's what Wade Phillips wanted. What Wade wanted, and then

278
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Wade's gone, and yeah, you got

279
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: a bad player. Just left you with a bad player.

280
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: He was like a combine He wasn't even a combine guy.

281
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: He was like a workout warrior type, you know, the

282
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: same thing. It wasn't really the head coach, but it

283
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: was the position coach. Defensive coordinator in two thousand or

284
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four and just had to have a defensive

285
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: end and they draft Sean take Carver, right, right, and

286
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: that doesn't work out, But then a year later, you know,

287
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: or two years later, that guy's gone, Yeah, So you

288
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: gotta be careful thinking, oh, I may this move for

289
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: the head coach. You better make the move for your

290
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: team and worry about the coaching part later. Because everybody

291
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: that's well said, you know, I like I said, let's

292
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: let's give this, let's give this, let it play out.

293
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: But you've at least given yourself a chance to see

294
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: some things. You know, You've given yourself a chance to say, Okay,

295
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: can Mark Colombo turned things around with this offensive line

296
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: that hasn't played at the level that we're used to

297
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: seeing them play, you know, And can can this wide

298
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: receiver make a big enough difference with a group that

299
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: we thought they went in as a committee. Now they said, okay,

300
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: we don't need a committe. We need somebody to come

301
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: up and make some plays along with Cole Beasley and

302
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: along with Michael Gallop and those guys. But isn't the

303
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: offensive line the biggest issue without a doubt, Because with this,

304
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: they didn't give up anything in the receiving corps to

305
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: make this, make this move for Cooper right, and they

306
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: actually when they played well, the offensive line. They won games. Yeah,

307
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: didn't play well, they lost right as opposed to making

308
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: the change with the offensive line, coach, you lost something,

309
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: he's gone right now, you got something new in there.

310
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: But none of this is going to work unless that

311
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: offensive line consistently plays better. He's absolutely right. That's the

312
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: That's the one thing that I look back in the

313
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: first through the first eight weeks that I felt like

314
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: that I missed. I felt like I missed evaluated really

315
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: what this offensive line was all about. I was a

316
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: little worried about Joe Looney. He's the least of my

317
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: worries right now, you know. I just I didn't see

318
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: the lack of consistency with this group. And it's not

319
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: just on the road, and they're giving up hits and

320
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: sacks at home too, just not as much, not as

321
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: much as much. But there's still there's still times you

322
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: watch and you're thinking, oh, thank god, Dak Prescott spun

323
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: out of that one. You're right, gott he oh Ezekiel,

324
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: Oh thank god he made that. You know, he made

325
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: that cut. You know, that's where I focused too much

326
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: on other things other than the offensive line and that

327
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: and that was probably that was something that that that

328
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: I should have focused on more coming out of camp. Okay,

329
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: hey this, you know, he wanted to believe that Lyle

330
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: Collins was on his way up and in the season

331
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: and he was one of your better offensive linemen. You know,

332
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: I wanted to believe that Connor Williams. I had an

333
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: idea that Connor Willams would struggle a little bit. But

334
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: I didn't see Tyrn Smith a healthy I didn't see

335
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: a healthy Tyrn Smith. Now, I think injury has robbed

336
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,959
Speaker 1: him of some of his flexibility. I think that he

337
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: doesn't bend as well as he once did. Still, you know,

338
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: twenty nine other teams, thirty other teams would love to

339
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: have Tyrn Smith playing tackle for them, you know, even

340
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: at his current state. But I just I felt like

341
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: that a misty evaluation on that, because that's I think

342
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: that's the reason. I think that's the I think that's

343
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: the biggest reason this team is three and four. Oh,

344
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: I no question, man, I picked him to I thought

345
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: they would be a playoff team after I saw the

346
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: Connor wall pick, honestly because I thought, Okay, this is

347
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: a solidified that position. Yeah, it's been another high draft

348
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: pick on a guy and you've got all pros elsewhere,

349
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: Travis Frederick who didn't know about his situation back then,

350
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: and uh, and it's just not hasn't been the same group.

351
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: But I will say this, Brian, the Jacksonville game, That's

352
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: what just just puzzles me so much, is that I

353
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: felt like the protection in that game was pretty good

354
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: against what was thought to be a really good front.

355
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: Maybe Mickey's right, maybe that team is a fraud. Maybe

356
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: that's a defensive fraud. That was my super Bowl team,

357
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: But it's it's the same guys that almost had a

358
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: historic season defensively, it is the same personnel, the same

359
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: offensive line that's blocked well over the years. Have they

360
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: won since? No, they haven't. They lost last week to Philly. Yeah,

361
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: they've lost four straight games. Wow, Okay, so that's that's

362
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: the problem. But I just I don't know. I just

363
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: you know, and I could see, you know, And I'm

364
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: not I'm not washing my hands of the quarterback play either,

365
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: but I think the quarterback is directly acted by the

366
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: offensive line, you know. And I think the quarterback is

367
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: also affected by the receivers, you know. Yeah, I'm not

368
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: sure het all on the line. Yeah, I mean, I'm

369
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: willing to I'm willing to say that dak As faults

370
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: absolutely I am. You know, I'm not going to sit

371
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: there and act like that, you know, put my head

372
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: in the sand and not not be the case. But

373
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: this offensive line is really the one thing that I

374
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: felt like that they can hang their hat on. They

375
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: just haven't been able to do that, you know. And

376
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: even in the two last two home games that they won,

377
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: he got sacked six times, three in each. Yeah, so

378
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: like it's better than five in Seattle. But they're moving

379
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: the ball here at least. Yeah, they are still getting

380
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: hit too many times. Yeah. The bottom line now, I

381
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: don't know if you know the coaching change is going

382
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: to make a difference. They're they're certainly hoping on it,

383
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: and they're certainly banking on it. That you couldn't keep

384
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: going the way they were because, as Brian said, you know,

385
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: if it was Joe Looney, okay, I understand, and it

386
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: really wasn't. I if it was just Connor Williams, I'd understand.

387
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: But it's been almost across the board. It has. All right,

388
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: let's sake our first break when we come back. We'll

391

392
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,960

393

453
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: good investment and it's just the way it goes in

454
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: the draft. Um. I think it could help easily and

455
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: Gallop perform better. I am perplexed as to why we

456
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: hired Paul Alexander. I don't understand what happened. We had

457
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: something that wasn't broken. Yea, we tinkered with it, and

458
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: I don't know why the previous coach left. Maybe you

459
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: can shed some light on that. But it seems like

460
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 1: if it took more dollars to keep them there, then

461
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 1: do it. We had something good going. Um. Last thing

462
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: is where are we at an advantage over Tennessee? And

463
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: where are we where do we not match up well?

464
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: First Tennessee? Thanks guys, by thanks for the called David.

465
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll save that Tennessee from last segment. Um, Frank

466
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: Pollock was not retained him they you know you know that.

467
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: You look at what happened with let's be honest, how

468
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: many coaches they replaced on the offense, How many guys

469
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: who all stayed, you know, Gary Brown stayed, the OC stayed,

470
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: who else stayed? Anybody else? Nobody? Right, I think it's

471
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: is it eight or nine assistant coaching changes? Yeah, well

472
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: there was a bunch. Yeah, So so let's let's say,

473
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: let's look at the situation here. You know that it

474
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: might be you know, you with coaching changes, you get

475
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: guys that that don't get along. They don't you know,

476
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: they don't like philosophy, they don't like you know, they

477
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: you know, they don't like the fact that you're saying, well,

478
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: we should do this, and we should do this, and

479
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: we should do this. It happened to me fought Bill

480
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: Parcels too much, you know, I should have just kept

481
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: my damn mouth shut, you know, And sometimes you keep fighting,

482
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: you keep fighting, and as Jerry Jones will say, you

483
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: got bit by the dog. And you know, if you

484
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: look at the in the OC stayed and a lot

485
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: of other guys got shown the door. Vince of Vince,

486
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: Derek Dooley went off for a job, you know, to

487
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: be an OC. That's what he wanted to do. So,

488
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, with coaches, you know, they have their they

489
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 1: have their disagreements, they have their philosophy questions that they

490
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: they feel like that, you know, I'm writing this and

491
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: you're not right, and this and that and the other,

492
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: and you butt heads and you'd finally just say, okay,

493
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: enough of you, you know, And that's that's that's that's reality.

494
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: That's life. You know. You you fight somebody and piss

495
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: somebody off enough, make them mad, they'll get ready. They'll

496
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: find a way to get ready. And in Pollock's case,

497
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: the old line coach last year, yeah, who replaced Bill Callallahaney. No,

498
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: it was performance related if you look at it. I mean,

499
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: I'm pointing the stat out yesterday's twenty two of thirty

500
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: two sacks that Dak Prescott took was in those final

501
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: eight games. And that Atlanta game was a complete utter disaster.

502
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: That's the reason Connor Williams is here, a big reason

503
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: he was drafted in the second round. And Frank Pollock

504
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: lost his job in large part because of that, I'm

505
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: sure yea. And and you know he was a Bill

506
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: Callahan disciple, and they have gone away from that philosophy

507
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: a little bit because you know, they brought in Paul

508
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: Alexander with his own ideas, and Paul Alexander and my

509
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:10,959
Speaker 1: thinking and you'd probably ask Jason Garrett this. Paul Alexander

510
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: very highly respected around the league. You know, you've been

511
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati for twenty four years. They never fired any

512
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: coaches at Cincinnati. You know, he was there. We worked

513
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 1: under the great Jim McNally, who was a really good

514
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: line coach back in the day, you know, kind of

515
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: the Hudson howk of that time, you know, but you

516
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: you know he's also you know, you you hire these

517
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: coaches because also because of recommendations, you know, like somebody

518
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: like his brother John worked with this guy at Cincinnati.

519
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: What do you think about Paul Alexander there? Bro Oh,

520
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: you know, a really good teacher, technique guy. You know,

521
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: you don't, you don't every time they ever they Hey,

522
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper, we talked to the We talked to Save

523
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: and we talked to him and we talked you know,

524
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: you look at you look at all these guys. You know,

525
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: you look at anybody that's ever brought in. It's always

526
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: you talk to a guy. Jack del Rio was consulted

527
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: about Amari Cooper exactly exactly. Yeah, you don't just make

528
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: decisions on your own. That's what Bill Jones said yesterday,

529
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: these these ads that have committees to help them hire

530
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: a coach. You shouldn't be an a d if you

531
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: can't hire a damn coach. You gotta be able to

532
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: ask your own questions and figure out your own things.

533
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: But we always hire people on a recommendation. Do it

534
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: in every walk alife, every day and walk of life.

535
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 1: You have to you have to rely on some of that, right.

536
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it depends on who you're asking, It depends

537
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: on who you're putting together. Yeah. I could remember when

538
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: after the seventy seventh season, Missouri fires Allen Freal and

539
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: the AD was leaving too, so they don't have an

540
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: AD to find a new head coach. Who hanging to

541
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: pirn the coach? So they ended up getting this committee committee. Yeah,

542
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: but it was a commitment. And the committee was head

543
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: headed by the dean of the law school, and then

544
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: there was these other deans and teachers and you know,

545
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: Grandino and and and the uh the chancellor, the new

546
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: chancellor coming in and it's like, what are you doing?

547
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: You know, that's why you guys aren't a football school.

548
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: Hire somebody, hire somebody. Yeah, And I learned that real quickly. Too, uh, idiots,

549
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: hire somebody that knows how to hire a coach. I'm

550
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: with you, Mickey. You don't hire the coach and then

551
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: go tell the ad here's your coach. I'm totally with

552
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: you on this. I you know, I would love, you know,

553
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: the opportunity to sit down and visit with somebody and

554
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: talk about a job. You know, I think that's a

555
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: that's a that's a skill, not not only just football,

556
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: it's in life. Sure, you ought to be able to

557
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: interview people, get to know, you understand, make your own decision.

558
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: Don't rely on me to tell you, Hey, hire that

559
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: Rob Phillips. He's a good guy. And then you get

560
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: and then you go in there terrible and then you're

561
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: a terrible work rappy good guy, bad worker. And then

562
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:55,959
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, that guy, Mickey is looking at

563
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: me like, why the hell did you tell me to

564
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: hire this guy? Hire this guy? And then you start,

565
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: you know what, then you stop listening. Mickey will say,

566
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: you know what brought us? You don't know what the

567
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: hell you're talking about. They brought in John Cooper. Was

568
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: that Tulsa, Yeah, before he went and was Arizona, Ohio

569
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: State and the female Chancellor asks him during the interview

570
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: what his favorite offensive play is. He walked out. I

571
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: was told and basically told somebody, I will never take

572
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: this job even if they offer it tonight. And then

573
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: he goes from Tulsa and becomes he's now scouted since

574
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: Nati Bengals, by the way, a very good head coach

575
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: at Arizona State and parlays that into Ohio State. Sure, dude,

576
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: see that's but the pole Paul Alexander thing. I know

577
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: we went once again, we were we were all over

578
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: the America's Cup yacht racing there going on bed back

579
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: forty years. But I'm just saying though that, you know,

580
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But that's a bad fit.

581
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: That's a bad fit. And you probably are thinking, why

582
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: would you mess with a group group that has had

583
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: some success, And you're right, Mickey's been documenting this Last

584
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: Day Games. You just said it, Last Day Games last year.

585
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: They were awful. They were awful, you know, and they

586
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: had to do something about it. And and Frank Pollocks,

587
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: he's the one that they kicked him the curb because

588
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: of it. He probably had It's like they kicked Paul

589
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: Alexander the curb Well and Paul Alexander had the most

590
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: experience by far, probably if anybody they could have hired

591
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: that was available in January, Old Dog New Tricks. Yeah,

592
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: I mean Mark Colombo though you mentioned this earlier in

593
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: the week, he was a serious candidate for the job

594
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: in January that I don't think Garrett could have had

595
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: that many Kellen Moore's you know, first time Yeah, yeah,

596
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: he's a special teams coach. You know, how many guys

597
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: is he gonna say? Oh, I'm just gonna name all

598
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: the you know, he probably looked at and said, man,

599
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: I better get some guys with an experience here. And

600
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: maybe if somebody sold him a bad bill of goods. Yeah,

601
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: and maybe I know you don't want me to say that. Man,

602
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: it's cringe worthy, but it's true. No, that's fine, that's fine.

603
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to think back to what we were told,

604
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: what we heard back in January, and it was you know,

605
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: he'd been there, like he said, twenty five years. He

606
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: had experience with a lot of different personnel. Obviously during

607
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: that span, different schemes, he kind of adjusted around different

608
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: personnel zone yeah, and power. So I mean maybe they

609
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: thought he could be more flexible, and maybe he wasn't.

610
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm just speculating, but obviously they felt like indeed it

611
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: was a bad fit, no question about. I just look

612
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: at what's happening, what's happening with Lyle Collins, and that's

613
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: all I need to know. And I understand what's going on.

614
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: I do understand what's going on with Tyrren Smith. I

615
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: really do. I think I do. He is not the

616
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: same player because his flexibility. He doesn't bend as well

617
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: as he once did, and that's something that unfortunately, but

618
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: he's fought through us. He's thought through shoulders and neck

619
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: and back and all that stuff to play the way

620
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, the way he has and he's not terrible

621
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: every time. I'm not going to act like that's the

622
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: problem every time, but I'm just saying, though, if you're

623
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: telling me that Lyle Collins has gotten worse, why why

624
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: is he gotten worse? And I've had I've had people

625
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: that I respect and players telling me they're like, the

626
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: guy that struggled the most with the coaching change was

627
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a lile cons the one player told me

628
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: because he's screwed. He you know, it's true, he just

629
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: changed because he just changed positions and now he's having

630
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: to learn all this over again, you know. And now

631
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: he's learning. And we saw how bad his hands were

632
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: in camp. You know, he's trying to do with Paul

633
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: Alexander's telling him to do, and he's a maler and

634
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: he's just finally and he finally got through last year

635
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: with the left hand right hand punched things. Yes, Now

636
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: you've given him something else, Yes, because he was left handed,

637
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: and credit Nate Newton for seeing that. And he's used

638
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: to punch in with his left Hand's gotta punch with

639
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: his right hand right right, because he's got to keep

640
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: his hand, you know. And yeah, and there there's and

641
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: it seems like there is too much thinking going on,

642
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 1: sure on that offense, and that I don't know if

643
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: that's hurting Tyron Smith, like slowing him down. Uh. And

644
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: again the other thing is that boy, if you had

645
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: Travis Frederick next to your rookie guard, I think that helps.

646
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,439
Speaker 1: That's what you're accounting on, right, He's gonna he's gonna

647
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: nurse that guy through as ky season. Now, Joe Looney,

648
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying, that's what I'm saying. He can't take care

649
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: of himself, but I don't know how well he takes

650
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: care of the guy and maybe Tyron Smith doing the

651
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: same thing with him. How many different guys as Tyron

652
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: Smith had to play next to a lot and last,

653
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the one guy that's had to play

654
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: against throw them all in there. He had He started

655
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: off last year playing against with Chaz Green. Remembers Jazz

656
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: Green starting. Remember he was the starter till he got

657
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 1: hurt and then Jonathan Cooper. Jonathan Cooper jumped in there. Bell.

658
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: I mean, how many guys have had played that position

659
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: next to him? Ron Leary? Ron Leary, you know it's

660
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: great as Yeah, as great as Tyron Smith has been,

661
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: he's probably had the most turnover next to him. Yeah,

662
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: because they haven't figured out. You're right, I thought. I

663
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: I'm still bullish on on Connor Williams. I think Connor

664
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: Williams is gonna be just fine, you know. And Joe

665
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: Looney to me, has there is there? Is he perfect

666
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: as coach? No he's not. But you know what, Joe

667
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: Looney hasn't been killing you in these games. He hasn't,

668
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: you know? Is he second level block and all that? No?

669
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: But is he? But is he just totally. I mean,

670
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm with you, guys. It's not one two areas where

671
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,280
Speaker 1: they they've struggled. It hasn't been just one or two spots.

672
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: I wonder at the end of the year, when we

673
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: all sit down and evaluate and someone comes out and says,

674
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: you know what, the loss of Travis Frederick was the

675
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: worst thing that happened to this offensive line. I wonder

676
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: someone is going to come out and say, you know,

677
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 1: Travis Frederick not being in the middle of that offensive

678
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: line hurt This hurt them. It took them completely out

679
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 1: of their game. Could be, could be? And you know

680
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,439
Speaker 1: the key thing on that is going forward, they gotta

681
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: make good decision too. Is he God willing he can

682
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: get health? Yeah? I mean, I mean you just hope

683
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: from his own number one. We always say that, But

684
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: if you want to just be selfish football fan, you

685
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: know which we all are, God, you need him back. Yeah,

686
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: you just hope that he could regain his health, his

687
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: strength and be in there and play five thousand straight

688
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: snaps again. You know that's what you took out of there.

689
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: You took a guy out of there. It played never

690
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: missed the sap. You never had to do without him. Yeah,

691
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: you know, And the miracle thing of the whole deal

692
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: is they really haven't had like fumbled snaps or you know,

693
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: shotgun over the head. Joe Win, You'll snap at high

694
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,919
Speaker 1: everyone he will. And we saw that training camp. Yeah,

695
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 1: but they haven't had a disaster that Tony Romo had

696
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: to run forty yards to gain two because the snap

697
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: went over his head. All right, let's take our final break.

698
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: Sound really negative here, don't we did? No? No, I mean,

699
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: we're just point of special. We're just pointing it out.

700
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: I think there's you know, sometimes there's got to be

701
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: some balance, and I think too many times on talk

702
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: radio it ends up being complaining radio. Yeah, you know,

703
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: and the never talk about anything that's working well. It's

704
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: always let's complain about this, let's complain about that. We

705
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: gotta tell it like it is is what we try

706
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: to do around here. So let's continue doing that. And

707
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: let's when we can't talk about some things that are

708
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: working well for this team as they try to prove

709

833
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 1: if you like nineteen seventies Halloween costume. It's like a

834
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 1: plastic mask with a small little intention here to breathe,

835
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 1: and you sweat and sweating I mean back. Yeah, you're

836
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: running from house to house and you're like, you get

837
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 1: to the house, you'd fall out because you couldn't breathe. Yeah,

838
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: because the mask. It was like in the seventies, they

839
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: didn't care about your health. And then when you'd run

840
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 1: to the run of the house, you're like, oh, I'd

841
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 1: have to take a knee halfway because I couldn't breathe.

842
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:32,399
Speaker 1: And then when you got to the eighties, they made

843
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: those masks, the rubber masks or head that was worse. Yeah,

844
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 1: just google nineteen seventies Halloween mask. It just fit right

845
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: over your face and it had an elastic chord that

846
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: like kept it in place on your head. I'm guessing

847
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 1: in light of what goes on these days, I'm surprised

848
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:57,480

865
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,720

Speaker 1: aloud and a seventy five yard touchdown pass aloud. And

908
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: maybe that's credit to Philip Rivers for getting him in

909
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: the right situation for La, but uh, all right, you

910
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: you traded for a guy who can get up the

911
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: field and make place. Absolutely opportunity. There's an opportunity, and

912
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: that's for Amari Cooper. It's also an opportunity for Michael Gallut.

913
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 1: And you know, this is a secondary that's had their struggles.

914
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 1: And I'm writing about today or actually for tomorrow, for

915
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: the matchups. You know, they've gone over a couple of

916
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: different nickel corners. I'm thinking about. I'm thinking about Cole

917
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: Beasley being good in this football game, either going against

918
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 1: the Dorry Jackson or then also having to go against

919
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,280
Speaker 1: Logan Ryan. And I feel like though that they'll probably

920
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: play with Logan Ryan because Dorry Jackson had problems in

921
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: the last game against the Chargers. Keenan Allen wore him

922
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: out in that game, so they didn't turn around. They

923
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,320
Speaker 1: put Logan Ryan. So I think they could probably go

924
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 1: with Logan Ryan in this game. So keep an eye

925
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 1: on that matchup. Out of the slot Cole Beasley how

926
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: they play that, because I think he can make some

927
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: plays like he did, uh you know in that Jacksonville

928
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 1: game and late in what we saw late in the

929
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: Washington football game as well. So it's a front. They

930
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: don't have the great pass rush. They have a pass rusher,

931
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: Derek Morgan just been okay. Harold Landry was a second

932
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: round pick that they had last year. In this past draft,

933
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 1: he's starting to come on a little bit. Their linebackers

934
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: are not bad though. I do like what they've done

935
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: at linebacker. I think that you know, when you look

936
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: at there's Jay and Brown is a guy, and then

937
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 1: Rashid Evans is who they drafted in the first round.

938
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 1: Those two guys that think are pretty good players for them,

939
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,800
Speaker 1: you have to worry about their defensive line in this regard,

940
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 1: I think you have to worry about durl Casey, number

941
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: ninety nine. He's a defensive tackle. They'll move him around

942
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 1: all over the place. He's going to be a difficult

943
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: guy to block. You can kind of see him today.

944
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna write I wrote about the weapons and the

945
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 1: Nemesis and that guys, hope you check it out. Kind

946
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: of a little idea what you're gonna get with Durll Casey.

947
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: But he is a really, really good football player. He's

948
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: probably their best defensive player. I think Kevin Bayard is

949
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: I think is a is a really good player as

950
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 1: a safety. Everybody's familiar with Malcolm Butler, who was you know,

951
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 1: was the corner at New England who made that play

952
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. But he had his struggles. So

953
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: it's a defense. I feel like they can move the

954
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: ball on though, just have to be able to block Casey.

955
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: That's gonna be really, really important in this one. He

956
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: must be pretty good if he starts in front of

957
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,839
Speaker 1: Benny Logan. Yeah, Benny Logan is not the minny Logan

958
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: that we knew in Philly's Yeah, yeah, exactly. But no,

959
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 1: they've this is not as good as a defense as

960
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: it played the last couple of weeks. And statistically they're

961
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: they're very good. They they're right up there with the

962
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 1: Cowboys in terms of points allowed. Yeah, they're eighteen point

963
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: one per game, right behind Dallas. Yeah, I think they

964
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: played some offensively challenged teams as well. But I watched

965
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,320
Speaker 1: I've watched people move the ball on these guys. I

966
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: mean I've gone back, I've watched Philly moved the ball

967
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:43,879
Speaker 1: and I'm a little bit I've watched Baltimore was able

968
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:45,879
Speaker 1: to do some good things against them, you know, moving

969
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: the football. I think that it's going to be it's

970
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 1: it's one of those it's gonna come down to again,

971
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:54,240
Speaker 1: their ability to block Casey and to make some plays

972
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 1: in the secondary. I really think that that that with

973
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: the addition of what you have with Cooper, they've got

974
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: a chance to make some place here. I really do

975
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: believe that. All right, good stuff, Mick, I got a

976
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: question for you. The last question didn't go over so well.

977
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: I hope this one's yeah. Yeah, hopefully we're on the

978
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 1: air tomorrow. But looking at positives, Okay, we've talked about

979
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,800
Speaker 1: the offensive line needs to improve. Yeah, what makes you

980
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: feel good about this team? YouTube? Brian going to the

981
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:25,280
Speaker 1: final stretch here? Well, I think, I mean the obvious

982
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,879
Speaker 1: one is the defense. I think this defense has given

983
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: you an opportunity to win almost every game. The Seattle game,

984
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: with a couple assignment breakdowns kind of got away, but

985
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,800
Speaker 1: it was still only twenty four points. So from a

986
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: defensive standpoint, their ability to rotate guys. We'll see if

987
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory gets back to be able to be available

988
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: to play this week, but you get David Irving out there.

989
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: I just think that defensive front has been pretty darn good.

990
00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: The linebackers have been really good, and I think the

991
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: secondary has come on. So if they continue to play

992
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 1: defense at this level, then they give this team a

993
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,839
Speaker 1: chance to win every game going forward. Yeah, I totally

994
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: agree with Mickey on this, and you don't need a

995
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: former scout to tell you this, and he's absolutely right.

996
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: They will. They will be able. I believe they will

997
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: be able to cover the Tennessee. You know, receivers in

998
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 1: this game will recognize any of those games. Yeah, Sharpe's

999
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 1: not a bad player for them. Davis was a guy

1000
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 1: they picked. Corey Davis was a guy they picked pretty

1001
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 1: as a first round guy, very high, and he just

1002
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: hasn't had the production the numbers that they were talking about.

1003
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a group of guys of kind of

1004
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: who's who, not who's who of who are these guys?

1005
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 1: Kind of a thing. I think that the defense. I

1006
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: think the defense is really the king, the key thing

1007
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 1: to hang your hat on here and and it's and

1008
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be that they're gonna have. I think they're

1009
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 1: gonna have another good game this week. I think they're

1010
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: gonna be able to hold Tennessee and check. It's gonna

1011
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 1: be up to the offense to make some things happen there.

1012
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,800
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm kind of hopeful for. I'm hopefully

1013
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: the offense can find its traction running the football. I

1014
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,359
Speaker 1: think they're gonna have to for these next not only

1015
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: this game, but for the other games, for that game

1016
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: in Philly, for the game in Atlanta, you know, they're

1017
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 1: gonna have to find a way to be better balanced

1018
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 1: running the football and throwing the ball. And I think

1019
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: that's something they've got to get that Billy once again

1020
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: to just go out there and create holes for Ezekiel.

1021
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna need him in these games. Now. You know,

1022
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a lot of games coming really fast

1023
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,240
Speaker 1: and furious here, and so you've got to be ready

1024
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 1: for everyone of them. But defensively, I think they need

1025
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: some help. They got to get some help from this office,

1026
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 1: I agree, and maybe Cooper's presence help Zeke as well

1027
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:42,959
Speaker 1: as Dak as well as the line. And I wrote

1028
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: in my three and alcolumn on the website if you

1029
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: want to check it out, as well as Brian and

1030
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: Mickey's stuff, I wrote about this defense and how you

1031
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: got to look at the defense in terms of why

1032
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 1: they made this trade too. Yeah, because here's a stat

1033
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: I looked up. Since they went to sixteen game schedule

1034
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy eight, there's been ten times that the

1035
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys are on a pace for allowing this average of

1036
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,439
Speaker 1: seventeen and a half points a game ten times they've

1037
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,800
Speaker 1: done it, and since it's been a sixteen game schedule,

1038
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 1: they made the playoffs every time. Yeah, they've made at

1039
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 1: least the NFC title game five times when they've done it.

1040
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's this is a defense that's again, they're

1041
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: gonna be challenged, like you say, are gonna be challenged,

1042
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: But at the pace they're on, why wouldn't you go

1043
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: out and try to do something to help your offense now, because, yeah,

1044
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 1: you've got one side of the ball that's playing playoff

1045
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:30,439
Speaker 1: football and maybe deep run playoff foak. I just wish

1046
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,800
Speaker 1: they could find that whatever they were able to do

1047
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 1: with those first eight games of last season, And Mickey

1048
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: has brought that up a bunch, that's been a rallying

1049
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,879
Speaker 1: cry for him, and he's absolutely right about that. That's

1050
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 1: a twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight point a game team.

1051
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,280
Speaker 1: You get a defense it's playing. Even if the defense

1052
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 1: starts to give up twenty one points a game, you

1053
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: know you're still winning, you're still winning football games. You

1054
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 1: know you've got to find a way to help this defense.

1055
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: They're the one thing that they're the strength of your

1056
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 1: team right now. But the offense with what they've just made,

1057
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: the addition that they made, and then potentially the switch
