Speaker 1: Doing great? Where were we? Where we are? We we

12
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: were trying to figure this thing out, Yes we were.

13
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: We were trying to figure it out. We were just

14
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: so blown away by the Cowboys win on Sunday we

15
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: couldn't even do the power out at the power out

16
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: exactly right. It just means we'll have twice as good

17
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: a show today, twice as good a show. Yeah, we're arrested.

18
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: We get we get writing time, like, we get to

19
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: go longer. Now that's what you would like. I know

20
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: that Mickey's going to have his own podcast, Learn the

21
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: whole thing. Just that's right. Appreciate that now, Guys, before

22
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: the show, I asked you guys to give some unsung heroes.

23
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: We got a little bit if you guys were joining

24
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: us on periscope yesterday morning, prior to the power outage,

25
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: we got a little bit into the game. Gave you

26
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: some good knowledge. But everyone knows DeMarcus Lawrence had a

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: great game. Everyone knows Jason Witten is the goat, Zekiel

28
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: Elliott a hundred yard game, one hundred plus yard game.

29
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: But who were the unsung heroes of this game? And

30
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: I'll start with you first, Rob who you got. I'll

31
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: go with Terrence Williams. And the stat line shows it

32
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: six catches, sixty eight yards. It's more than that though.

33
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: It's it's three third down conversions that he picked up

34
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: becoming kind of a go to guy for Dak in

35
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: that game, and the things that we don't always see

36
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: from him that he provides, and that's blocking. Blocking. In

37
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: the run game, there were a couple of deep runs

38
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: that he was down the field and by the way,

39
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: doing it on a bad ankle that bothered him the

40
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: entire game. Rolled his ankle in the first play of

41
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: the game, came out for a little bit, replaced by

42
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: Bryce Butler and then just toughed it out and he

43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: was limping after the game, left in a walking boot.

44
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: You know, that's a coach's dream in terms of toughness

45
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: and gutting it out the way he did on Sunday,

46
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: seeing one of the things that he's got to do,

47
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: and he did. He's making teams pay for ganging up

48
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: on Dez. They had a play. I saw they had

49
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: three guys lined up. I think it was his twenty

50
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: eight yard game? Was it twenty eight his long twenty

51
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: three he was He was wide to the right and

52
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: Dez was in the slot and they triple team Dez

53
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: and here goes Terrence Williams cutting across the field. Big play.

54
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: And that's what he's got to do. It's not volume,

55
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: it's quality, Like when his numbers called, He's got to produce.

56
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: And I keep seeing him doing that more and more. Yeah,

57
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,279
Speaker 1: you're shaking your head up and down, Yes, Brian, Yeah, no, absolutely.

58
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: I mean I think when you watch with Terrence and

59
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: what he's been able to do, and you know, he's

60
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: been much maligned throughout his career, I think people have

61
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: been unfair to him. I felt like that there was

62
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: some team that just if you watch him play, some

63
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: team was going to offer him a good contract. But

64
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: the fact that they got him back, I think is

65
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: a great thing. And Mickey's right and Rob's right, you know,

66
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: when you watch him play, I think that the screenplay

67
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: that he caught on third and twelve was a great

68
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: example of that that that shows a lot of confidence

69
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: in him to get the football in his hands in

70
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: that down and distant situation and say, okay, go make

71
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: a play in the open field. And he was able

72
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: to do that. You know, got some blockers in front.

73
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, if Chaz Green gets his block on

74
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: the linebacker sustains his block, it's gonna be a touchdown.

75
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think the coaches they love what they

76
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: have in the player and the fact that he can

77
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: contribute anytime that he gets the football on his hands,

78
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: I think is exactly what they need. Yeah, we've talked

79
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: a lot about Orlando Skinner kind of playing with a

80
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,119
Speaker 1: chip on his shoulder, but I think Mickey is Mickey

81
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: pointed out Bran, you guys all painted the picture. Terrence

82
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: Williams has a tendency to do the same and to

83
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: go out there and show him. Hey, guys, you're gonna

84
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: block Deaz. I'm still a threat. Yeah, and much maligned,

85
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: is right because you think about this time a year ago.

86
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: I mean, he was getting roasted on social media for

87
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: the late game clock management blunder, and it does conceal

88
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: some of what he provides this team that people don't

89
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: always talk about. Absolutely. So, Mick, Yes, so is your

90
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: unsung hero from the Cowboys win over the Giants. I

91
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: am going to go with punter Chris Jones, the puntisher.

92
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: He had four punts and every one of them ended

93
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: up inside the ten yard line, ten yard line in

94
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: to the goal line. So he caused some serious field

95
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: position problems for the Giants, which helps out the Cowboys defense.

96
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: It sure makes it a lot easier to play defense

97
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: when you got ninety yards behind you, you got ninety

98
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: five yards behind you. And four times that he had

99
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: to punt, he pinned him inside the ten. So I

100
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: thought that was significant to holding that Giant's defense or

101
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: offense at Bay. Hey, great point, and I think entirely

102
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: the special teams unit showed up in a big way.

103
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey four field goals, You can always rely on him,

104
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: Lindsay cash Draper said it at best yesterday death taxes

105
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: and Dan Bailey absolutely I thought that was very true.

106
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: But you're right, Chris Jones obviously got the contract extension,

107
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey, we saw field goals matter, and we'll get

108
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: a little bit into the Denver Broncos game Los Angeles

109
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: Chargers game. In the second segment, Brian brought us you

110
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: had no Odell Beckham junior, but that didn't matter. You

111
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: still had to find a way to cover the Giants receivers.

112
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown practiced all week outside, didn't really take any

113
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: snaps inside, play in the slot. So once Orlando Scandrick

114
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: went out of the game, he had to play thirty

115
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: five snaps in nickel and dime packages, sub packages inside.

116
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: I think that shows you what kind of player that

117
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: he has. The interception he was able to get was

118
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: a great read off him having awareness where the route

119
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: was going to be, dropping to that point, turning back

120
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: inside and then playing the football. So you tell me that,

121
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, you talk about an unsung guy not even

122
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: practicing where he was all week and then turn around

123
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: and have to play a very important position where not

124
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: many people want to go inside and play, especially when

125
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: you have to deal with a guy like Sterling Shepherd,

126
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: who really that's his specialty inside for the giants there.

127
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: So tip of the cap to Anthony Brown of what

128
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: he was able to do, unsung guy in my book,

129
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: you know, and Brian, we saw him do that last

130
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: year too. Yeah, Scandrick got hurt. He had us a

131
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: jump inside. Raw rookie had never played in the slide right.

132
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: Rob was talking about it yesterday. He told us that

133
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: on the show a summer ago, right, yeah, and he

134
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: had to go inside and play the slid and did

135
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: a decent job. So having said that, what do you

136
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: think they do with him this week? Probably Scandrick's going

137
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: to be out after the hand surgery to repair that bone.

138
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: Does Anthony Brown go out there or Woozier? I think

139
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: that the way they played it is how they're going

140
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: to play it again. I think Nolan Carroll will be

141
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: primarily on your left side. That means a Woozy will

142
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: play on your right. I do believe this is the

143
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: week that we see Jordan Lewis on the active roster.

144
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: I think they addressed him over been Wickery here. I

145
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: think they want to get him on the field a

146
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: practice from what I was told last week for him

147
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: was good. The scout teamwork was good. We talked about

148
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: the numbers snaps. Heck, if Jalen Smith could go out

149
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: there with twenty four snaps in the preseason and find

150
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: a way to play the way he did, go ahead

151
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: and throw Jordan Lewis out there on the field. Let

152
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: him go. He's he's got that kind of ability. I

153
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,679
Speaker 1: think he's got better ability than ben Wickery. Ben Wickery

154
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: only has the experience. Uh, you know, we'll see how

155
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: they play the reps this weekend. But I know they're

156
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: excited about getting him out there. But right now, if

157
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: I had to bet, I would say they would play

158
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: how they played the end of that game with with

159
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: Brown inside and then a Woozia on the outside, and

160
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: then see what they have to do to get Jordan

161
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: Lewis ready to go. Oh, they would start start a

162
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: Woozi Yeah, I think center. I think, well, well they would.

163
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: They would start. They'd started at Brown at right corner

164
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: of them, and they move him inside. Yeah. Just keep

165
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: an eye on a Woozier's ankle this week. Though he

166
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: was limping pretty good afterwards. We'll see, you know, maybe

167
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: he's limited this week we'll find out starting tomorrow, or

168
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: a little spit on it. Well, throw some dirt on

169
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: a get up young man and see. And that's what

170
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: my unsung hero of today had to do. Now, not flashy.

171
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: We didn't see too many things. They were just some

172
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: little bumps and things like that. But Chaz Green there

173
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: you go. A lot of talk last week and Mickey

174
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: you called it. You said they were waiting to see

175
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: if he was ready to go and he would go

176
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: over Cooper and he did, and I thought he did

177
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: a decent job. I thought, really as it got going,

178
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: people were more excited and getting ready for him to play.

179
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: And then throughout the game, I felt like he was better.

180
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: He was more in the swing of things, he was

181
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: in sync. He was able to handle that position. You

182
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: got to give it to Chaz. They didn't even know

183
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: if he was going to be able to go starting

184
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: Monday last week. I'll tell you what. And we talked

185
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: about last week on the show. The tag gamer I

186
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: think asked to go with him. We talked about guys gamer.

187
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: That's a good one, don't you know. You talk about

188
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: you know, panic and all the things that go into

189
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: and concern and troubling and all the words you want

190
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: to use to describe him often injured, you know, everything

191
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: you want to use. But he finds a way to

192
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: play in games, he really does, and when he's able

193
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: to when he's able, especially like regular season games. This

194
00:09:55,640 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: is another example. The size of the Giants inside was

195
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: not too much for him, and when they had to

196
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: find ways to pick up inside Blitz's twist stunts, whatever

197
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,719
Speaker 1: they had to do, there wasn't a problem. He had

198
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: more problems in that Oakland game than he did in

199
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: the game against the Giants, So you know, again, you're

200
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: right about that. I was. I had my concerns. I

201
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: felt like that Cooper was a better guard to play

202
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: at that spot. But Chaz Green, for at least for

203
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: this one week, gave me some hope that if he

204
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: can continue to kind of go on this path, you know,

205
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: it'll be a little bit easier for him this week too,

206
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: with the way that the Broncos playing will get in

207
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: that because of the three fourth front, he won't have

208
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: a guy in his nose the entire game. Maybe some

209
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: of the nickel and things, but I thought overall he

210
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: was pretty good. No one of the things that I

211
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: don't think we get to see of him when he

212
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: plays tackle. They had him moving a lot out in space,

213
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: and I was surprised that he did pretty well in space.

214
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: And the other thing I thought he did well is

215
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: you know that is the Oakland game. No, it was

216
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: the other game with he played guard, which was it

217
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: Bolts the Colts, the Colts trying to He didn't play,

218
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: but he was inside a couple of times. Rams came

219
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: Rams cold. It was getting off knocked off the line

220
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, sure, and but he didn't. That didn't happen

221
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: and did not happen. And Snacks is pretty big, played

222
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: with some power in this game. So yeah, I thought

223
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: it was a pleasant surprise. Gamer replies, especially to this game.

224
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: It's one thing for him to go into a game

225
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: last year twice for Tyron Smith when he's that's his job.

226
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: He's prepared to be the swing tackle. He was alternating

227
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: with tackle and guard this year. And don't forget how

228
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: much time you mentioned off injured. He missed some time

229
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: in preseason, so he hasn't. He didn't do it in college.

230
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: So I mean, I'm interested to see how he does

231
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: as the season goes on. But as you said, I

232
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: mean this is about as good a test as you

233
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: can get in Week one against the Giants defensive line.

234
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: So I mean it bodes well for him going forward,

235
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: I think. So speaking of that, so that was a

236
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: pretty big heavy weight on the right side with Leo

237
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 1: Collins JPP, it was how did you guys think he did?

238
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: I was the competition, Yeah, I tell you what I had.

239
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: I think it had to be pleased with that because

240
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: to me and going into the game, I always think

241
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: of JPPS is a right defensive end. I think the

242
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: guy that has it, usually your left defensive end doesn't

243
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: have the top line flight pasta skills. Jason Pierre Paul.

244
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: You know, you talked to guys. We talked to John

245
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: at the Giant I mean, you know, three years he said, hey,

246
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: I haven't seen Jason Pierre Paul looked this good in

247
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: three years. And I think in the preseason coming in

248
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: you could tell that on tape it was going to

249
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: be a fight. And you know Collins, it's it's never

250
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty with him. It's not gonna be like

251
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: watching Tyrn Smith player on the left side. The technique

252
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: is going to be a little a little off and

253
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: on but what you're gonna get is you're gonna get

254
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: a fighter, a battler. You're gonna get occasional penalties there.

255
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: I just hope that the penalties don't come at key

256
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: points of football games. But you're gonna get a guy

257
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: that is going to give you everything he has over there.

258
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: But I just feel like, though, until he gets more

259
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: experience and feels more comfortable over there, that he's just

260
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: gonna his first instinct is to try and fight first.

261
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: And fight first means you get your hands on the

262
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: guy first before he gets his hands on you. And

263
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: that's been been a little bit of issued still outside

264
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: the pads, but I think for the first time out

265
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: against a guy that's a legitimate pass rusher and has

266
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: been for a long time, thank you coach. Yeah he

267
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: is he That was a That was a really good

268
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: effort on his part. The best play JJ JPP Maide

269
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: was blowing up that run that Zeke run for a

270
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 1: seven yard loss, And you spoke to that during the week.

271
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: He's as good a run defenders a pass rusher. But

272
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: in terms of pass protection, I thought Lyle did a

273
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: really nice job. You didn't see a whole lot of

274
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: leakage there on that side. Maybe an honorable mention here.

275
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't want to go with him for mine.

276
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: I thought I might steal one of you guys, but oh,

277
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: way to go steal ours. I wouldn't steal yours. Bob

278
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: stole mine? Okay, but I saw he responded, he's stole mine.

279
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: But you know what, we're team, so we all stepped

280
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: side and found somebody else, right, an honorable mention. I

281
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: want to give tip of the cap Stephen Paia. We

282
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: talked about him last week coming in playing in that

283
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: middle and how he would fare. I thought that he

284
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: did a nice job for the task he was given.

285
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: Especially guys in the last season when we played the

286
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: Giants Week one, felt like the only name I heard

287
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: all game was Shane Vereen, Right, Stephen Baya was a

288
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: big part of helping that not happen this year. Yeah,

289
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what though, they've had some concerns going

290
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: in about you know, the run defense was first in

291
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: the National Football League last year, and if you look

292
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: at what they were able to accomplish this year, especially

293
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: with the new guys in the middle, you know, with

294
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: pie in the middle, a new middle linebacker, and then

295
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: we talked about a new safety and Jeff Heath. You know,

296
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: the Giants really couldn't gain any traction running the football,

297
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of it had to do

298
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: with what Stephen Pie and then what Malik Collins were

299
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: able to do. And then when they were able to

300
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: pass rush in there, I thought that they got pushed.

301
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: I think they helped defensive ends getting home. I know

302
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: Collins one time surely helped on that first Laurence sack.

303
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: He was up the field and they had, you know,

304
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: the guard and tackle were occupied. He was able to give,

305
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: like you say, Tay the tip of the cap too.

306
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: Not only Stephen Pie, but the defensive tackles as a whole.

307
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: Those two dudes were the most impressive part of the

308
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: d line and possibly the defense at times in training camp.

309
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: I mean their middle, especially the rush, the middle rush

310
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: from Pia it was underrated. I didn't expect that. The

311
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: only mistake, you know, Collins had that big penalty that

312
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: could have cost him was slinging the guy on the

313
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: ground yet Yeah, but other than that, it was realizing

314
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna win rank them when Millie Collins did there,

315
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: that was the beginning of the end, Mick, he should

316
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: have got there a step sooner. He would have had

317
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: that Darren Sack right, had it so so and Pia

318
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: So with those guys what they did. They only gave

319
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: up thirty five yards rushing, right, I guess is their

320
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: number one in the league and run defense. I didn't first,

321
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: I didn't better find those power rankings out tweet us. Yeah, no,

322
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's got to be thirty five yards. Yeah,

323
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: I think that someone probably someone Cincinnati was awful. I

324
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: think at one point in time. I think they were

325
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: pretty bad offensively. There might there might be some negative

326
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: There might be a couple of teams with some negative

327
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: numbers here right off the bat there Cowboys will be

328
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: second in scoring defense, tied for second because what was it?

329
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: Cincinnati got shut out and somebody else gave up three points?

330
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: Maybe it was Carolina, San Francisco, San Francisco, Yeah, so

331
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: so yeah, three points not bad for that first h

332
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: first outing and although around the league the offensive struggled.

333
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: I know, I was watching that Viking Saints game last night.

334
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: You're right, Mickey, I was thinking, is this going to

335
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: be the same scores as the Cowboys last night? I

336
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: think I saw somebody said I was reading seven teams

337
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: scored less than ten points, and you know what in

338
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: the first week, guys, I don't know if it's necessarily

339
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: bad quarterback play. I think offensive lines around the league

340
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: are just bad, really and find enough offensive line, can

341
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: find enough good offensive linemen, I think. I think the

342
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: Cowboys are one of the one of the fortunate teams.

343
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: I think Oakland is another one. Tennessee might be a team.

344
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: You know that if you look at the offensive line

345
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: and how they're built and maybe some offensive line depth.

346
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: There are a lot of teams and I'll tell you

347
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: the team to Cowboys and we'll get into it tomorrow.

348
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: The Broncos are having problems that they're two tackle spots.

349
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: They really really are. I mean, I know if you

350
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: guys watch the game. I had a chance to watch

351
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: game on film this morning, and I know that the

352
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers have some excellent pass rushers in

353
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: Ingram and Bossa and those guys. But yeah, that Broncos

354
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 1: were struggling last night. The reason one of the reasons

355
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,239
Speaker 1: why the Chargers were able to come back turnovers, but

356
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: pressure late pressure. I mean that that's gonna that's gonna

357
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: hurt them. But I just think overall, if you watch

358
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: around the league, teams do not have good enough offensive

359
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: linemen and that and that that that could very well

360
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: hurt some teams. Seattle has always been one of my

361
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: exam ample teams. You know, you look at Seattle, you

362
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: look at the number, look at look at look at

363
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: what's happened. We saw Indianapolis lift the the Giants. Yeah,

364
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: you're talking about you're talking about a top five defense

365
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: and an offensive line that's probably ranked thirty second in

366
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: the league, and a quarterback who's thirty six and yes,

367
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: you know in the latter part of his career. You know. Yeah,

368
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: there's a lot of teams, a lot of teams that

369
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: are struggling with bad offensive line play. I don't think

370
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: it's all necessarily on the savages of the world and

371
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: guys like that. I think a lot of it is

372
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: on how these teams built their offensive lines and the

373
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: fact that the defenses are so much better rushing the passer,

374
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: and the lines just can't protect their courebacks, nor can

375
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: they run the football with any effectiveness to get an

376
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: any kind of traction to keep these defenses honest and

377
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: fourteen teams had less than three hundred yards total offensive,

378
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: putting the Giants, by the way, we're in in that group.

379
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: But I think it goes back to the fact that

380
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: you know, where's the money made. It ain't usual on

381
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: the offensive line. If you can play defensive line, that's

382
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: where the big guys go. I think the Giants spin

383
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: if I counted it up right over three hundred million

384
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: dollars on defense. Who I think that's really if you

385
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: have a lot of money, if you look at if

386
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: you look at all the contracts for what they for

387
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: Pierre Paul Harrison, Vernon, Yeah, I mean it's incredible that

388
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: they've spent money on They spent money on Jenkins, spent

389
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 1: money on Rogers KRAMARTI. You know the one thing I

390
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: know I'll tell you about the Giants. The Giants to

391
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: me are built to play against the Cowboys. Oh yeah,

392
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: that's if you want to if you want to be

393
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: a smart general manager and you want to take Dallas

394
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: out three games. They've yet to give up twenty points

395
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. They've got they've got the pass rush ability,

396
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: they've got big inside people. You know, they've got guys

397
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: on the outside they can cover and they got a safety.

398
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: They could play down in the box or cover your

399
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: tight in or cover in the slot. Yeah, but you

400
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: do have to be able to score too, and that's

401
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: that's the problem. Twenty points a game last year, that's

402
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: their problem. You have to figure it out because, yeah,

403
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: I think I mentioned this last week to you guys.

404
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys are really the only team to be

405
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: facing these top defenses for their first straight foward games.

406
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: I think there's a way to move the ball against

407
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: the watching the Broncos again. We'll get into all this

408
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: tomorrow next couple of days. But I see some things there.

409
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,239
Speaker 1: I see some things, so we'll check it all out.

410
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: All right, All that big bad Cowboys defense has held

411
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: the Giants to know more than twenty points in three games.

412
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: You gotta get your defense sign made, Mick, because I

413
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: think you should hold it up. What's that defense? Bring

414
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: in some fences here? Yeah, I think that you were

415
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: painted on your face. You can still wear your suit.

416

Speaker 1: we are friends, we can help each other and help

494
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: those listening no more. I'll start first with you, Mickey.

495
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about this defense and how they

496
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: were so strong in this week one outing. But Mickey,

497
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 1: what is your question for the panel? Today. My question

498
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: is it's only one game, but do we think this

499
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: defense is turning the corner to be a top ten

500
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: defense in this league? After what we saw in the opener?

501
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: What you say without without Odell Beckham Junior or on

502
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: the field, I don't think that that would have mattered,

503
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, but they're that strong. I

504
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,239
Speaker 1: like what you're saying, So you're saying, yes, I think

505
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: the defense will always be about scoring here, but for

506
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: a top ten I think they're doing the right things.

507
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: I really do. I like the I like the rotation

508
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: of what we've seen with the secondary. If if Nolan

509
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: Carroll can just be consistent, just be consistent, don't give

510
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: up any big place. If this defense doesn't give a

511
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: big place, they're fine because this offense will find a

512
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: way to make things, to get things, to convert third

513
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: downs and keep the ball score they got. I know

514
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a concern coming up here about something else,

515
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,959
Speaker 1: but I do feel like though with the new additions,

516
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: this defense does have a chance and they're playing. They're

517
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: gonna play against some great quarterbacks here coming up. They're gonna,

518
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna, well, we'll know real quickly. But

519
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: but I like what Mickey saying. I think that they'll

520
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: I think they got a shot. I really I hope

521
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: the top ten scoring defense. That's what I really hope.

522
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: And that's what they were last year. They were fifth. Yeah,

523
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: nineteen point one per game. That's something nobody really talks about.

524
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, the Ryans, the Rogers, those will come as

525
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: the season progresses. Are we a fan of how much

526
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: zone they played? I'm a fan of. I'm a fan

527
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 1: of I like the mix. Put it that way, I mean,

528
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: I like, I love the way that this is what

529
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: Marinelli will do. Marinelli will start a game and he'll

530
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: go two or three series playing man Yeah, and just

531
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: when you think that they have a bead on what

532
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: you're doing, then he'll turn around and play his his

533
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: where he you know, he like his cover a and

534
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 1: where you know he calls it where he just drops

535
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: everybody in the clog and cover. You know. That's he's

536
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: really good at having a feel for when the game

537
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: kind of flips and they're like, okay, now they're starting

538
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 1: to hit me a little bit, and he'll go back.

539
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: The good thing about that is he's got linebackers like

540
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: in Sean Lee that could play in both. It doesn't matter.

541
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: Man zone doesn't matter. He kind of can control things underneath.

542
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: If you could get the pass rush to kind of

543
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: get home a little bit more, which I think they can.

544
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: But the secondary gain I keep going back to that

545
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: with with you know it's gonna hurt them losing Scandrick.

546
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna hurt them losing them. But Garrett

547
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: mentioned yesterday just to confirm for everyone, he did cand surgery. Yeah,

548
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: later yesterday, Yeah, And no official timetable. I would say

549
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: this week looks unlikely, but keep in mind they do

550
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: have an extra day next week with a Monday night

551
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 1: game at Arizona, so maybe that gives him an opportunity

552
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 1: to come back that early. We'll see, I think. And

553
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: I would think what you're what you're saying, Rob, is

554
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: what they worry about because when they put al in

555
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,959
Speaker 1: there to help the bowl bone heal, so now it's stable.

556
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: What they worry about is the incision, right that you

557
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: don't bust it, bust it open. Yeah, And so I

558
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: would think, you know, in two weeks you got a

559
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: pretty good chance of you know, wrapping that sucker up

560
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: and get out there club Brandon Cark played with a few,

561
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: he's done it. Yeah, I just I'm okay with I

562
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: don't the zone coverage doesn't bother me. Okay, the zone

563
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: coverage says about it because I think this team and

564
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: maybe we'll see it better when when a Woozier really

565
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: gets going, gets an understanding, and then Lewis gets an understanding,

566
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: and then you get Scandrick back that you see a

567
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: better man coverage unit, and then you have brown Out there,

568
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: brown Out that you have a better group. I think

569
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: you do everything in your power to protect, protect, protect

570
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: Nolan Carroll right now because in Man his problem seemed

571
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: to be when they do go to man. But it's

572
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: not I don't think it's anything that you just is

573
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: just alarming. But I would always find a way if

574
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna play man, just to make sure that he is,

575
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: that he's with somebody that he can he can contain.

576
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: And by the way, the one play that looked like

577
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: he leaked, I went back and looked at it. They

578
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: were in zone. Yeah, absolutely, hey Von, but but you

579
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: know it's his first time to play basically a position.

580
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: He got forced into some things last year, but not

581
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: in that role of going back there when they played

582
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: the dime the way they were playing with one linebacker

583
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: and brought him in to play deep. Um. But yeah,

584
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: I think it'll be interesting to see what happens with Carol.

585
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: Give me four guys, Give me four guys in the

586
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: field that can cover and play, guys are healthy. Yeah,

587
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,239
Speaker 1: and then I I if it means taking No. One

588
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: Carroll off the field because one of those guys is better,

589
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: I'm okay, Yes, I mean, I just just but I

590
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: think for the first time out, Nolan Carroll was fine.

591
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: Well for those tuning in, we do still have questions

592
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: from Rob and Brian, but we want to hear our

593
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: questions from the fans first. You guys can still call

594
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: us the numbers two, one, four, two, seven to twenty

595
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: one or two. Let's get to our first caller here,

596
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: Ryan in New York. What is up, hey, guys at

597
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: the victory Tuesday? We keep it going all week. Yeah. Um,

598
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: I've just got a quick question and then a follow

599
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: up question depending on your answer. Um, do we have

600
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: to cut anybody to bring more and Irving back onto

601
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: the roster following the suspensions? Yes, you do, unless you're

602
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: gonna put somebody on a yeah, yea on long term, right,

603
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: and so um my, my question would be, I mean,

604
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: the obvious candidate would be ben A. But given what's

605
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: going on with Scandrick and how much confidence you have

606
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: in Lewis, will see there. And then you know, the

607
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: only other roster position I can think of would be

608
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: running back. And after what Morris you know, did the

609
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: other night, maybe he's the lead candidate there. And so

610
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: I'm just curious if it we're up to you all,

611
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: who would be off this team to bring those two

612
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: guys back. All right, thank you, Ryan, good question. Good question.

613
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: Call us after they play two games, because you never know,

614
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: number one, who's gonna get hurt, and after four games,

615
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: you never know who's gonna get hurt. Sometimes those things

616
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: just kind of settled this roster. This roster will be

617
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: completely different a month from now, I mean, when you're

618
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: especially adding guys whatever. I mean. I even asked the

619
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: question to day if they were bringing anybody to work out,

620
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: just thinking that, you know, Tuesday's kind of a traditional

621
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: day in the National Football like to bring guys in

622
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: to work out, and I got the answer no, So yeah,

623
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: it's I know, I get that question a lot on Twitter.

624
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to start the draft show like last week,

625
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: and they want to and they want to know who's

626
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: going to be released to get these two guys on

627
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: your team is gonna in the next four weeks is

628
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: going to change completely And you don't know what else

629
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: could happen. I mean, they could have lost Scandrick for

630
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: the season now all of a sudden. Okay, there's an

631
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: you carry. Yeah, you carry him for a couple of weeks. Yeah,

632
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: and then you put him on IR you know. I

633
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: mean there's things you could have the way you could

634
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: have worked around it. But the names are right, you

635
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: know they carry? Can they carry ten defensive linemen? I

636
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: think that they? To me, I am always up for

637
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: carrying tender and I think that might have been the

638
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: plan when you started looking at everything, right, Are they not? Yeah?

639
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: I mean, are they not kind of light right now?

640
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: With just that? Yeah? I think so. I think to me,

641
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: I have no problem with that, I really, because I

642
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: always finding offensive defensive lineman. The one thing I've learned

643
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: throughout my career was those were the hardest positions to find.

644
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: I could go and find a Laurent Robinson to play

645
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver and be okay, And you know, do all

646
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: these things give me a defensive lineman, give me an

647
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. Those are difficult to find, especially guys like

648
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: I talked about earlier offensive lineman, where there's just none

649
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: around the league, even at starting line of defensive or

650
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: offensive linemen. Rob. You listen to Jerry Jones this morning

651
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: on the fan and he was asked about McFadden and

652
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: him being the one that was chosen to be inactive

653
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: and the decision between him and Alfred Morris. Can you

654
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: give us some insight on what he had to say

655
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, they're they're being careful with the way

656
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: they're addressing that question. It's a good question, you know.

657
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: I mean McFadden was the number two guy for most

658
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: of camp and all of a sudden now he's an active.

659
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: The way Jerry made it sound like is it's close

660
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: between those two. You could see them alternate at some point,

661
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: maybe depending on the matchup. So yeah, I mean I

662
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't guarantee and I wouldn't pick out McFadden and say, oh,

663
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: he was an active Week one. He'd be a guy

664
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: you'd cut here to make room for another guy. I

665
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: think I think there's gonna be a place in time

666
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: for him to play at some point in the season,

667
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: even with Zeke active. I just think that his running

668
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: style against the Giants is not conducive to what they needed.

669
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: They needed somebody to hit the hole quick because when

670
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: you when you block with the block the Giants fronts

671
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: hat on hat, the quicker back has the chance to

672
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: get through the hole. You're talking about really a back

673
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: that could gets you not two yards, but four or

674
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: five yards. That's really what they needed and that's what

675
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: Morris was able to do. So we'll see. Well, this

676
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: gets right into your question. Why don't you ask the

677
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: panel what you are curious about after week one? My

678
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: question for the panel is can this team run the

679
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: football with anybody other than Ezekiel Elliott? Mickey, you look

680
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: contemplating over there. Um, I think we can go back

681
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: to what we were just talking about. I think with McFadden,

682
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: I think he gives them maybe a better opportunity. And

683
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 1: I think, what, maybe this is what they're going through.

684
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: We got two older running backs. How do we keep

685
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: them both fresh just in case we have to run

686
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: with right and it's still not out of the woods

687
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: right right, because now we're trying to Rob, help me here.

688
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,439
Speaker 1: They're trying to get a stay for the stay emergency stay,

689
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: stay of the injunction, Yes, stay of the injunctions. So

690
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: we've already had a stay on the substension and now

691
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:57,439
Speaker 1: they're trying to stay the stay. And then there's still

692
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: another case stay away. So this isn't this is isn't

693
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: even close to being done with, right Yeah, j tay,

694
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: he said. Jerry on the fan said, you know, he

695
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: expects Zeke to play week two. Obviously, this stuff is

696
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: all fluid, so I mean, he didn't want to speculate

697
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 1: beyond that. And and because he wouldn't, then you knew

698
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 1: something was up because he said, I'll still have my say,

699
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: but it's not time to say it yet because we're

700
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: not out of the woods. So well, he was thinking

701
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: too that maybe that he might be called in as

702
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: have to give a deposition, which it was the other thing. Yeah,

703
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to. He doesn't want to talk very

704
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: much to give them any reason to depose him. You know,

705
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: he's very close to the situation, as we all obviously know.

706
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, I just I don't know, Rob, I mean,

707
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: I'm thinking I watched it the other night and I

708
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: wasn't impressed with Alfred Morris, and I don't think it's

709
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: I think that some of the players were similarly blocked.

710
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: You know, Ezekiel Elliott shows ability that jump cuts, the

711
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: ability to get two three yards. I mean he can

712
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: make a two or three yard run. Look like, wow,

713
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: anybody else that's minus three And he made a one

714
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: yard run right, Look like he made a three yard

715
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 1: run into what was a one yard run several times. Yeah, yeah,

716
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: So I worry. I worry about it. There was this

717
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: idea that, well, anybody got two one thousand yard rushers,

718
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: and you know, I was always like, nah, I don't

719
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: know about that. We talk guys, special We talked about

720
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 1: it last week. The runner matters. What he did last

721
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: year's zeke fifteen touchdowns, that's not replicated by anybody else

722
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: on this team. I do think they can run the ball.

723
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: I think they've got you know, Morris got four carries

724
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 1: in the game, got one yard. I do think they've

725
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: got the offensive line to be able to run with

726
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: those guys. But it's the short yardage, like you said,

727
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: get an extra yard, those dirty yards and the break

728
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: break it loose factor, you know, thirty yard run on

729
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: a swing pass by Zeke. We've seen it. Can those

730
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: guys be a home run threat? And can they get

731
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: the tough yards? You gotta give it to Cowboys fans.

732
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: They are the most educated fans in the NFL. The

733
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: other day, I was at a sports bar watching you know,

734
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,479
Speaker 1: some college football on Saturday, and overheard a few people

735
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: discussing the Zeke situation and what it means for the

736
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. And I think one guy was talking to

737
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: his buddy and goes, what doesn't even matter that you

738
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: brought up your point? Mickey goes, you know these guys

739
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: are good. Offered Morris two Pro Bowls? You know about

740
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: all these guys just had these opinions. Well, one guy

741
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 1: brought up somebody. I just heard it and it caught

742
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: my attention because we've talked about it a little bit.

743
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: But going into it, goes, Yeah, this old line cares

744
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 1: a lot more than I think you guys think. Looking

745
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: at someone like Zach Martin, who's on a contract to

746
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: your right now, not necessarily that, but working a contract negotiations,

747
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: he is looking to have somebody who is going to

748
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: make him look as good as possible. And I think

749
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: Ezeki Elliott in this instance, does that for this old line. Oh,

750
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about that. I I just it's really

751
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: night and day watching them, and you can you can

752
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: clearly you could see it. You didn't even know if

753
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have known who was in the game, you

754
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: just watched the scream at the sound down, and then

755
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, ball handed off to forty six.

756
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: It wasn't as good, you know, and and that and

757
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: and and there's a reason why twenty one is twenty one,

758
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: And there's a reason why it's it's so important to

759
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: have him in this in this mix. He's the best

760
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: back in the NFL. If he's not, he's in the

761
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: top two or three for for complete backs. I don't

762
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: disagree that. No, No, he's I don't disagree. I mean,

763
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: I mean there's people people will argue, they'll argue the

764
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: guy at Pittsburgh. Yeah, they'll argue I said that. I

765
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: was Okay, he's in the conversation. But it's different. It's

766
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: the Emmitt Smithy. It's the Emmett smith They both mean

767
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: so much to their team. They were they really I mean,

768
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: you you're offensively when you hand the ball to Ezekiel

769
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 1: Elliott's sixty one percent of the time on first down

770
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: and you're ahead of the chains. I mean that's something Rob,

771
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: that was That was one of your gut feeling, Hey,

772
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: stay ahead of the chains he went on the first down. Yeah,

773
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: I mean they didn't get in a lot of bad

774
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: down in distant situation. I think leaving on Bell is

775
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: the same way in Pittsburgh. You know, there's some better,

776
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: some quality backs this league, but none like those two. Hey.

777
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: I like hearing twenty four of the thirty one runs. Yeah,

778
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,560

830
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: for lunch. Hey, guys, you know Eli Manning was in

831
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: the house on Sunday, but so was Peyton Manning, and

832
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 1: he loved some Papa John's pizza. So I was thinking

833
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: of you every time he yea, he showed it. They

834
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: showed a Peyton on the screen bet which, by the way,

835
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: speaking of Peyton, that nationwide commercials brilliant, the one with

836
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: keep playing, the one with what's the country western performer

837
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: that he I thought that was? Was that Nationwide or

838
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: Papa John's. You get so confused. I've got that dark

839
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: jingle in my mind. Now got they got Paine's got

840
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: a lot of irons in the fire right terms of endorsements,

841
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: always has that one easily brandible guy. The new hotels

842
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: dot Com one with the Michigan ladies talking about sponsors

843
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: that we don't have, Well, we have a hotel sponsorship, Miller.

844
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,399
Speaker 1: Let's kind of talk about those guys. I haven't seen

845
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: any of their commercials. Let's talk about the people who pairbills. Yeah,

846
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: and me to be current. You know you're current. You're

847
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: doing you're the modern man. You're an event. There's no

848
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: doubt about it. Twitter moments will help you, all right.

849
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: I got a question for the fans yesterday, and I

850
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: got a question for you guys in terms of any

851
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: concerns with this team and for me, it's the red

852
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: zone offense and maybe it's just the red zone offense

853
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: against the New York Giants based off these last three

854
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 1: games dating back to last year, just playing simple, are

855
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: you concerned about it? The fans said eighty percent. No,

856
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 1: not concerned about the red zone. Although your Dallas Cowboys

857
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: were one for four inside the twenty the other night

858
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: and struggled in the opener last year inside the twenty

859
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: as well, struggled just playing, struggled moving the ball at

860
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: all in December at the Meadowlands, one of fifteen on

861
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 1: third down in that game. But you guys have concerns

862
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,399
Speaker 1: there or is it just this particular opponent with their

863
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: defensive line, etc. I think it was this game. No,

864
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 1: I don't have any concerns. You know what's interesting. We

865
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 1: went into this game kind of preview and it we thought, hey,

866
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: inside the thirty defense for the Giants, red zone defense,

867
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: and one of my gut feelings was Cowboys was going

868
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: to find a way to crack this red zone defense,

869
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 1: and you know, three for three and heck they were

870
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 1: one for four on they should have been at least

871
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: fifty percent though that the past, the DEAs that had

872
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: a shot. I can't how many times have you seen

873
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott rolled to his right or left and miss

874
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 1: a throw like he did in that one? Well and

875
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 1: it yeah, but yeah, but it's hindside twenty twenty. That's

876
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: the question posed the garret yesterday was you threw three

877
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 1: times inside the three and absolutely yeah, and they need

878
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: to get back to Scott Linehan needs to get back

879
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 1: to and I think he will get back hand the

880
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: ball to number twenty one. Let him be that bell

881
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: cow guy. Let him be the one. Even if you run,

882
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 1: you run him a couple of times and then you say,

883
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: you get in a passing formation and you want to

884
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,399
Speaker 1: run Dak on the quarterback draw. Fine. I agree with Mickey.

885
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: I think it was more about the opponent than it was.

886
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: But you know, hey, it's about play call and it's

887
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: about execution, and really the Cowboys were really bad other

888
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 1: than the Jason Witton execution for the touchdown. But you

889
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: think about that, you know, but it's hey, if it

890
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: turns into one or two more games, then it stops.

891
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: It's a trend, and then you start to worry about it.

892
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: This is a hard game too, you know, we're talking

893
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: about opponents. I think that Dak will definitely want to

894
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 1: get the ball out of his hands as quick as

895
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: he can, going up against the defensive ends in Denver.

896
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,439
Speaker 1: I think everybody on your pole you said, yeah, yeah,

897
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,760
Speaker 1: I think everybody in your right to about the about

898
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: that getting the ball out quick. I think the fans

899
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 1: realize what you have and Ezekiel Elliott. Now, if it's

900
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: no Ezekiel Elliott in there, then turn around. But I

901
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: think everybody was thinking we'll hand the ball to him

902
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: at least twice. Nobody. Nobody's against the one time Dez throw,

903
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: but they're against the Dez throw three times. When you

904
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: have Ezekiel Elliot back, then you've seen him rus sixteen

905
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: times for touchdowns I believe so, yeah, exactly, and he

906
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,359
Speaker 1: had I mean he had Dez on the second one,

907
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: had him wide open, yeah, wide open. Yeah. And does

908
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: it a great job? Does it a great job coming

909
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: to the football mirroring mirror where he is. And again,

910
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many times have we seen

911
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott rolled to his right or roll to his

912
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 1: left and make an accurate throw. And that one just

913
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: got away from Oh yeah, because I always argue when

914
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,720
Speaker 1: people are talking about the best, the top wide receivers

915
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: in the league, often Julio Jones is right up there,

916
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: but Dez Bryant I used to think, and I still

917
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 1: think this. I just want to see more of it.

918
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: He's one of the best red zone wide receivers there is.

919
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: He just knows how to get open. Like Mickey said,

920
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: and well, they had the fade. He almost came down

921
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: with that. He ran out of room. He is the

922
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 1: guy if you want to throw it up to somebody,

923
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: he's wanting to get there. He's gonna get there now,

924
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: somebody that I don't think we could say he's an

925
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: unsung hero, but we need to talk about him because

926
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 1: fans have questions about him. Taco Charlton, how he showed

927
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: up in his first NFL game. He showed up in

928
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: fashionable cleats. Yeah, but was he able to do what

929
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 1: you guys wanted to see from him, at least in

930
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: the first game. Do you think, well, he was used

931
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: in a rotation. Where's my snap chart, Taco? Tell you

932
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: how Yeah snaps, Taco. I'll fill in while he's talking

933
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: or looking. I felt like that he reverted back to

934
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: some of the poor habits that we had seen for

935
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: him in that first preseason game against Arizona. When Tacco

936
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: is good, he's able to the pass rush, moves the bend,

937
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,439
Speaker 1: all that stuff is there. He had been making great

938
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: progress from game to game to game. I felt like

939
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: going into this game with the Giants offensive tackle situation,

940
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: that he potentially could take advantage of flowers and heart

941
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: with some of his pass rush. He played way too

942
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 1: tall in this game, way too upright, played down the

943
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: middle of these tackles. You know, you've got to play

944
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: on the edge with these guys. You gotta throw movement

945
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: at him, make them get off balance, because we've seen

946
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 1: them get off balance. We know they'll get off balance,

947
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: and he just wasn't able to do that. Late in

948
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 1: the game they put him in at nickel tackle and

949
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 1: he was on the same size with Charles Tapper, who

950
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: Charles Tapper had much better success rushing to passer from

951
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,879
Speaker 1: what I was able to see, So maybe that's something

952
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: they're going to continue to try and get him going.

953
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: But for a technique standpoint, I thought he reverted back

954
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: to his early days and to me, that was disappointing.

955
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 1: And hopefully on film he'll see that, leon Lett, I'm

956
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: sure and Rod Minelli will say, hey, listen, you can't

957
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: play that tall, you can't rush down the middle, and

958
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 1: you can't give yourself up. Like what what do you

959
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: think causes that? Is that the moment you're in it's

960
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: it's your first NFL game, and you your emotions get

961
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:14,800
Speaker 1: the best of you and you forget about your technique.

962
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: You you end up resorting to what you what you

963
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: know do? Yeah, and you're Tim Tebow has that trying

964
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:26,240
Speaker 1: to change and your comfort level is what you've done before,

965
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 1: and you got to break that happ I rushed against

966
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: Northwestern this way. He had twenty He had twenty six snaps.

967
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: So playing it right in there was a couple There

968
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: was a couple of times where it looked good. I mean,

969
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: if if the ball would have been held another half second,

970
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: he'd have had a sack um. But other than Tapper

971
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: on that right side, it didn't do anything. No Mayoa,

972
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: it's almost zeroed out. No, but Benson Mayowa, I'll tell you,

973
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,720
Speaker 1: I don't think Benson Mayowa watching the game was terrible

974
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 1: because I think he gave him. There was so there

975
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 1: was so much good play on the left side with

976
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: Lawrence that Benson Mayowa was able to get some pressure

977
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: move manning a little bit. The numbers are not going

978
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: to be right, Mickey, the numbers assisted tackle. Yeah, but

979
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,280
Speaker 1: I think if you look at him, you look at Crawford,

980
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: you look at Paya, you know, overall, they each had

981
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of effect of the way. The guy

982
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: that clearly stood out was Lawrence. I mean he clearly

983
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 1: stood out. Even Brian Price had a couple of rushes

984
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: where he pushed the middle of the pocket. Gave me

985
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: a little hope that maybe he could be a rotational

986
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: guy inside. But yeah, I just with Taco, I just

987
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: don't want to see him revert back to some of

988
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: the issues that he had early when he came to

989
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:42,320
Speaker 1: the team. And I brought the name Tim Tebow. I

990
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 1: can't tell you how many times they worked with Tim Tebow.

991
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 1: Throw it this way, throw it this way, throw it

992
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: this way. Oh look he's looking good. Throw it this way,

993
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: throw it this way he gets in a game, what

994
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: happens He goes back to what he used to do

995
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:55,720
Speaker 1: when he was at Florida. Yeah, and now the ball's

996
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: going all over the place and everybody's going, gosh, he

997
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,399
Speaker 1: looks awful. He looks like Tim Tebow again. You tend

998
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: to revert back to some things. And and hopefully for

999
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 1: Taco he'll come out with practice this week. It was

1000
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,439
Speaker 1: a good experience, Nicky said. He got some snaps. Watch

1001
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: the other guys work your technique, get back in the rotation,

1002
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,800
Speaker 1: get back into those ways, those those those those rushes

1003
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 1: that you had in the preseason games where you know,

1004
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,760
Speaker 1: we did see some good things. And on a more basis,

1005
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,439
Speaker 1: if everybody's been listening to us, we told you number

1006
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: one he wanted to walk in starter and number two,

1007
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: it's going to take some time. He's not an accomplished

1008
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: finished product, So just kind of be patient on that.

1009
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: And the good thing is they've got enough candidates to

1010
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, use a group over there and

1011
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:45,320
Speaker 1: make that right defensive end a little bit more powerful,

1012
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: you know, and you know, who knows what happens when

1013
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: Demontre Moore gets back. Sure, Monterrey Moore another guy that

1014
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: I'm seeing a lot of Twitter questions about and people

1015
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: he's a fan favorite already. Ryan Switzer. Ryan Switzer in

1016
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: his first debut for the Dallas Cowboys, obviously doing a

1017
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: lot of the punt return work, kickoff return both. Yeah,

1018
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: I thought he was Yeah, I mean kickoff return to me,

1019
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 1: it's kind of negligible just because of the rules. But

1020
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: I thought he was decisive as a punt returner. I

1021
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: think he gives them an opportunity decisive number one. Don't

1022
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: dance around there, go north south. But he's he's got

1023
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: some instincts there, and he's got some explosiveness that I

1024
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: think they've they've lacked when you combine knowing what you

1025
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 1: want to do and get get up the field. I

1026
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 1: think with a Lucky there, sometimes Lucky wasn't as decisive

1027
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: as he needed to be as a punt returner. Yes,

1028
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: so I think he provides all that for them. Potentially

1029
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: they need another hold up guy. Yeah, that was not

1030
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: very good. Mickey was right. He called that last week.

1031
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 1: If he don't block, there's gonna be problems. And I

1032
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 1: don't think the blocking has been as good, and they

1033
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: use the corners as blockers out there, on the flyers,

1034
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: and you know, it's it's it's it's tough when you're

1035
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: a corner, you're starting corner and you're out there, you know,

1036
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 1: four or five, six, seven plays whatever. You're run and

1037
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: run and run and running, and all of a sudden,

1038
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 1: now becomes punt return. You're thinking, Okay, I catch my breath.

1039
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 1: Now you've got to be just as intense keeping that

1040
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 1: guy from running down the field as if you were

1041
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 1: keeping Odell Beckham from running his route. You know that

1042
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 1: it's not a time to take a rest. And I

1043
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 1: think that a lot of times those guys on the

1044
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 1: outside see it that way and they give up and

1045
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: they and now there's no room to run. I do

1046
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: like the fact that that Switzer showed a little football intelligence.

1047
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: You saw where he caught, Yeah, acted like he was

1048
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 1: like he was like he fair caught and everybody kind

1049
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: of goes by him and he takes off running. You

1050
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 1: know that that's showing a little football intelligence. Hey I'm bagger, yeah,

1051
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: a little kind of like you know, I know what

1052
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: this game is all about. And the referee he's like whoa, whoa. Yeah.

1053
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: Then the NFL came up with the referee gave himself up.

1054
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:46,319
Speaker 1: They made something up. I've never heard that call. I've

1055
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: never They always do that on the Cowboy. I've never

1056
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 1: heard it. But it was it was a football intelligent

1057
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: play and but hey, he had one crack at it. Yeah,

1058
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: two faircatches exactly. But well we see from him in camp.

1059
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 1: I think he's got potential there. It was pretty savvy

1060
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 1: to pull that off. And the first NFL game to

1061
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: stand there and act like, oh, okay, I might I'm

1062
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 1: gonna fool him and say I called a fair catch

1063
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 1: and then he seven yards up the til. Yeah, and

1064
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,439
Speaker 1: they took the seven yards away from him. Absolutely rude,

1065
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: A kind of that kind of ruins your average because

1066
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: then he got zero. That's right, nicky, you got a

1067
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 1: bone to pick. Yes, I can't make stuff up as

1068
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 1: you go. I agree, we don't want to make anything

1069
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 1: up here. But time for Mickey's minute. And by the way,

1070
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 1: on that Sean Lee recovered fumble, He had that ball

1071
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: until he rolled over and the guy jumped on top

1072
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 1: of it. Maybe they turned it into the league this week,

1073
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: I hope so. But I thought Sean Lee had the

1074
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 1: ball more than what Anthe Brown had the interception. To

1075
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 1: be honest, well, at least Anthony Brown. You saw him

1076
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 1: catch the ball. It wasn't a simultaneous but it looked

1077
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: like he was getting pulled away from it and then

1078
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,839
Speaker 1: and then it was simultaneous. Right, But then it usually

1079
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 1: goes to the offense. But he didn't have the ball first.

1080
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Okay, the guy that had the

1081
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 1: ball first is gonna get it, regardless, it was a

1082
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: nice swipe by Jalenson. Ardless, it was a pretty good hit. Hey,

1083
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: I was because Lee was making the tackle and he

1084
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: came and raked over the top and created the fumble.

1085
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,320
Speaker 1: Happy Mick because we got a fan on the line.

1086
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: His name is Chris, Chris and New Jersey. What is

1087
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: your question depends on what Chris asked the all Stock

1088
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,320
Speaker 1: two statements, if I can get it in. I like

1089
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: statements if they're nice. Well, the first statement is that

1090
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:31,800
Speaker 1: I am so satisfied with the victory over the Giants.

1091
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 1: My New York Giant friends, I haven't been able to

1092
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: get in touch with them since the victory is so rewarding.

1093
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: I thank the Dallas Cowboys for the victory. Now. My

1094
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: second statement is directed in particular to mister Zeke Elliott

1095
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 1: I also happened to be a parent, and I raised

1096
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 1: my children to be responsible for their behaviors and not

1097
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: judging at all. But there's consequences even when we do

1098
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 1: good things. He's such a special talent. Please surround yourself

1099
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:20,280
Speaker 1: with positive people, people who are in your best interests,

1100
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: and good luck the rest of the way. That's all

1101
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:29,439
Speaker 1: I have. Thank you, thank you, Thanks for the statements. Hey,

1102
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,760
Speaker 1: it's funny how those Giants fans just kind of calm

1103
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 1: down after Cowboys wine. It seemed like all you get

1104
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: here last year was that they were the Cowboys kryptonite.

1105
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:43,839
Speaker 1: And here it really were there, Yeah, it really were.

1106
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 1: I was a little surprised that Dak didn't come out

1107
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: this week and say, you know, hey, I told you

1108
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 1: I watched him film on you guys. Maybe he was

1109
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 1: keeping quiet since you can get those touchdowns he wanted.

1110
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 1: He put his nineteen points up. Yeah he did. It

1111
00:55:56,120 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 1: was enough, nineteen enough. Let me ask you, this team

1112
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 1: points enough to win games this year for the Cowboys

1113
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 1: on an average, I wouldn't trust it. Yet give me

1114
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:07,879
Speaker 1: a few. I'll go back to my question defense. Figure

1115
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 1: out if this defense is for real or not. Yeah,

1116
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: because you don't win too many games. We're nineteen points.

1117
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at last year, I think

1118
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 1: they scored if I remember correctly, three times less than

1119
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:24,320
Speaker 1: twenty and they won one. They beat Minnesota seventeen to fifteen.

1120
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 1: It's the NFL, though, I mean, you better score twenty

1121
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 1: points in a game. Yeah, I mean that's that's against anybody.

1122
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:32,359
Speaker 1: But Giants got some bad issues on offense though. Yeah,

1123
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 1: they got again in December. They need John and they

1124
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:38,399
Speaker 1: were probably talking about what concerns you the offense? Yeah,

1125
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 1: the offensive line. I know when I was waiting to

1126
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 1: see Evan Ingram just destroy everyone. To tell you what, though,

1127
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:47,720
Speaker 1: they did a nice job. Jeff Heath and coverage a Woozier.

1128
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: It's like we like we told you how it was

1129
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,479
Speaker 1: going to work. They were able to cover Evan Ingram,

1130
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 1: they never were able to get the ball down the field.

1131
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 1: I mean that was just an overall impressive you know.

1132
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 1: The coverage allowed the pressure, you know, and they were

1133
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 1: able to finish some plays. That was great. Anthony Brown

1134
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 1: in the slot again against Sterling Shepherd a lot of

1135
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: times that that was a guy who quietly had the

1136
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 1: second most catches of any rookie in the League last year. Yeah,

1137
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 1: nice job by Brown. And they didn't even know if

1138
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:13,360
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepard was going to be able to go. So

1139
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: it's that offensive line, I mean, they It reminds me

1140
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: this story Joe Brotsky told me when Cowboys running backs

1141
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: coach God Bless his soul, Yes passed away since yes,

1142
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: he was kind of an old salty high school coach

1143
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 1: in Miami, Sure, and we were talking about offensive lineman

1144
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 1: and he goes, you know, let me tell you. He goes,

1145
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: when I was in high school, first day of practice,

1146
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 1: get everybody together, and I can look around and I

1147
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 1: find my best athlete, and it's like, okay, you go

1148
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: play quarterback. Find my next best athlete. It's like, okay,

1149
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: you're the running back, next guy, you're the wide receiver,

1150
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,919
Speaker 1: Oh you can't catch. You're the cornerback. Next best guy,

1151
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 1: he's my defensive end. So we'd go through this whole

1152
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 1: thing and and I'd have a bunch of these guys

1153
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: still standing there at the end and he goes, all right,

1154
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 1: all the rest of you guys go play offensive line. Yeah,

1155
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 1: and that's it hasn't changed. It hasn't changed, unless you

1156
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 1: get the exception like Tyrn Smith. Oh, there's some quality

1157
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 1: offensive linemen around the league, but not enough, not enough,

1158
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,600
Speaker 1: And I think that and it needs to change from

1159
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 1: quarterback to offensive line and catcher in baseball. And then

1160
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 1: here's the other thing, the way they're playing college football now.

1161
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:28,919
Speaker 1: On offense, all you gotta do is try to stand

1162
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: up and pass block. Wa to play basketball. Basically, they're

1163
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 1: the guy across from me. Yeah, it's the art of

1164
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 1: the art of pass protection is really it's pop up

1165
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 1: the athletic shield wall, do all that to get the guy.

1166
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: But just not enough of those guys. Just not enough

1167
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: of those guys are talented enough to play that way. Hey,

1168
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 1: speaking of talent, we only have a couple of minutes

1169
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: left in today's episode. I know you guys are so sad,

1170
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 1: but brighten your day up. Everyone has been discussing Tony

1171
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:59,919
Speaker 1: Romo's first broadcasting debut. I thought he did pretty great.

1172
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 1: He had the psychic ability. I don't know if you

1173
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: guys did you watch the game listen to it. I

1174
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:07,720
Speaker 1: was watching the game as I was getting ready to

1175
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: head on over to AT and T Stadium and continued

1176
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: watching there but hearing it. Yes, he was great. You know,

1177
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 1: anytime you're paired with someone like jim Nance, I mean,

1178
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 1: very lucky there. But he prepared and I heard a

1179
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 1: funny story that I thought was kind of interesting. You know,

1180
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: he's good buddies with Jimmy Kimmel, Chris, Ben Simmons, with

1181
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,479
Speaker 1: Bill Simmons. I was thinking Ben Simmons, and they said

1182
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 1: that in preparation, you know, he's talking about what to

1183
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 1: say and what people like to hear. And somebody was like,

1184
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 1: you should play Madden and hear what the commentators are

1185
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 1: saying in Madden. So he's playing with Jimmy Kimmel or

1186
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 1: whoever at his house. He's playing Madden. He's getting so competitive,

1187
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 1: reading changing it at the line of scrimmage, all this stuff.

1188
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 1: He's not even focused on what they're saying. So he

1189
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 1: got into winning the game instead of working on the commentary. Yeah, exactly,

1190
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 1: And so it's shocking. Sounds like Tony Yeah talking. He

1191
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 1: could be one of the best defensive coordinators in this league,

1192
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 1: I believe. So he was calling out plays, yeah, where

1193
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 1: they happened. He's gonna go to the left lined up,

1194
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: and he saw how they lined up. He says it's

1195
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a run to the left. Sounds like and

1196
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: I thought, see, he sees he sees the field so well,

1197
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: that's why he was successful in what he did. And

1198
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 1: he sees the field when he watches tape. A lot

1199
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 1: of announcers don't see the field. Yeah, you know, and

1200
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 1: he's really good at it. And I thought his biggest

1201
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 1: problem was going to be that he would have too

1202
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:34,440
Speaker 1: much information description. It's like, oh, here's what's gonna happen exactly,

1203
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 1: you know. And I don't know if that goes over

1204
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 1: well or not, but he's gonna tell you because I

1205
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:41,920
Speaker 1: can remember discussing plays with him, and he goes well,

1206
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 1: because they were lined up like this on the plane,

1207
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 1: remember on the flight. On the flight, we'd watching on

1208
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 1: their pads and he and he would stop in the

1209
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 1: aisle and he would take fifteen minutes to describe one

1210
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: play and actually he'd go over the defense. He would

1211
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 1: see what the other the offensive quarterback was doing, the

1212
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 1: other offenses quarterback, and he would say, well, he misread it.

1213
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 1: This is what he should have done. Right. Hey, he's

1214
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 1: a smart guy. You guys are smart, and I appreciate you.

1215
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:11,200
