We've got some DraftKings 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.800 coming up later on, But first I want to talk 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:29.840 about a bet that happened last week, and I want 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.360 to talk about how last week Isaiah was so confident 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.680 that Andy Dalton was gonna throw for three hundred touchdown 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:41.040 or three hundred yards and three touchdowns against Cincinnati. And yeah, 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.160 that's not a bad bet, it really isn't. But he 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.160 was confident in it. And so he lost that bet. 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.800 And so there was a Christmas tree that was shipped 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:53.560 to a certain heck Ma Harrison as payment for this bet. 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.600 But heck I heard, I heard Santa Claus left something 0:01:56.640 --> 0:02:02.840 on your doorstep yesterday, and how was that. Let me 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.880 tell you something, man, this guy Isaiah, don't ever bet 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:10.239 him anything. He is an extremist, Okay, because this thing 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:16.080 that got delivered to my doorstep is Look, I understand 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.680 losing a bet, but did you have to find the 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:24.600 biggest damn tree you can find in Texas? If Paul 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:28.280 Bunnyan wants to cut this thing down, okay, we are 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:32.200 naming this tree tree. No no, no, no no no. 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:36.799 We are naming this tree Tree Kardashian because it is 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:45.960 a big ass tree. Okay. This is unbelievable, unbelievable, Okay. 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.680 I wanted to have it set up because I know, 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.040 I know people have been asking us about the tree. 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.760 All right, I finally got it. I would have loved 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.959 to have this thing set up back here, but there's 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:05.040 assembly required and all kind of I mean this, so Monday, Monday, 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:10.320 I will have Tree Kardashian right here for everybody to see. 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:18.320 You fit in the room. Oh no, bro, somehow I 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:22.600 feel like I lost the bet. Like, yeah, I feel 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.600 like I lost. This is ridiculous, Isaiah. You do better, 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:29.400 do better, Isaiah, better man. I appreciate you. I appreciate 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.959 you bringing that that debot quote from Friday in there. 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:37.880 I won, you lost, But I told I told my guy. 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.920 I told my guy k y A k A Kyle. 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.040 I told him when I ordered it, because Kyle, how 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.200 long how long after losing the bet, after the game 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.000 actually ended? How long was it before it actually had 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.080 already put my phone down and say it's done. Not 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.480 very long, it was. It was right before we went 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.840 on the first word on Sunday, Tree is ordered. And 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.360 I was like, oh, now, if you were so colfident 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.560 and just fact that you were like the tree is order, 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.320 I was like, Oh, something's up. Here. Hey, you know 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.040 what the thing is. You know, I'm a man of 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.480 my word, you know, and anybody who knows me, I'm 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.040 a man of my word, and anybody else who knows 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:13.080 me as well knows that I don't have step on anything. Heck, 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:16.080 if I win, I'm going to win. And if I lose, 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.400 I'm gonna lose, and I'm gonna take that ill. I'm 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:20.040 gonna put it right here in my forehead and I'm 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.680 gonna be proud in the prize in which I have 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.719 to now give someone. So heck, you won the bet 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.279 I felt. I did not like the fact that I lost. 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.000 I don't lose often, right, But it was out of 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:31.640 my hands. It was in the hands of Andy Dalton 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:35.320 and Kellen freaking Moore, Okay, and you know what I lost. 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:36.680 And I said, you know what, if I'm gonna give 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:40.000 him something, it has to represent Isaiah, it has to 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.360 represent everything Isaiah stands for. And it has to be big, 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:44.960 bold and bright. And that's what I wanted to make 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.599 sure that you and your family had. Y'all know the 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.240 tree that's outside Radio City Music Hall in New York, 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:57.039 That's what got delivered into my driveway. So Okay, you 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.159 know what I've got to My wife and I have 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.120 a tradition now every Christmas when we put up our tree, 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.760 we decorate it while we watch Christmas Vacation. Not nice. 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.320 And so there's that scene like ten minutes in where 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.040 they climb to like the top of the mountain and 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.800 cut a tree down and they put it up and 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.839 it's busts out all the windows in the living room 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.800 and all. That's what this is what I'm predicting. Yeah, 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:28.800 that little tree anymore? Hey, Rob, the biggest? Is it 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.120 gonna fit in his room? I said, oh no, no, 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.159 oh no, that's the thing. I didn't even I didn't 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:35.800 even ask that. I just said how big is it? 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:37.440 And he just said, an ang, gonna fit in that 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:44.279 little room? Pretty big. It's gonna be it. Heck, he's 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.239 gonna be pushed. He's gonna be pushed into the side, 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.400 little branches and stuff, trying to like get his face 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:52.000 clear for the camera. I can't wait. We are praying 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:53.960 for you, buddy, and hopefully you get that thing up 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:55.880 by Monday so we can see it. Just take up 0:05:55.880 --> 0:06:00.640 the entire back of your room. Scott, can't wait. Move 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.120 some furniture in there as well. But let's talk about 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.240 the Cowboys a little bit here, and of course, the 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.880 Cowboys back on the practice field yesterday, and some more 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:13.839 injury news surrounding Ezekiel Elliott not in practice again for 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.159 the second straight day. Rob What's what else is on 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.080 the injury report whenever it comes to the Cowboys And 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.239 is there a real concern around Zeke plan this weekend. 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.760 I don't know if there's a real concern. I mean, 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:28.880 I think they're trying to manage him to get him 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.440 to the game as best they can. Now. Look, he 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.480 was limited last week and was able to do something 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.400 in practice this week. I think coming out of the 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.760 game he had some some sortness, some stiffness with the calf, 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.800 and so they're really just trying to focus on, you know, 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.599 resistance training and all that stuff with the athletic training staff. 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.599 So we'll see. I think he wants to give it 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:49.839 a go. I know he wants to give it a go, 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.880 I would say on the injury report, if there's good news, 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.320 it's that you've got Anthony Brown full practice for the 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.680 first time I think it weeks. And in addition to 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.080 in addition to being off the COVID nineteen reserve list 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:06.960 and Donovan Wilson back to full practice. Secondary secondary looking 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:10.840 pretty good for this game potentially. Now, Xavier Woods did 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.920 have a growing issue that has limited him in practice 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:16.760 on Thursday, so that's something to keep an eye on. 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.800 I guess as we moved through the day and Saturday. 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.560 So I mean, what you're telling me here is there's 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.920 an opportunity because even Trayvon Diggs coming back and being 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.080 in the middle of practice. I talked with Steven Jones 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.800 yesterday and Stephen said that he's gonna see a lot 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.240 more playing time. He's gonna he's gonna be back. They're 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.320 not gonna shut him down. He's gonna see playing time 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:37.520 the rest of the season. He didn't specifically or specifically 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.000 say he was going to play on Sunday, but just 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.080 having him back in the mix is something that I 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.200 know the Jones family in the front office, along with 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.440 the coaching staff, is very excited about. But also not 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:51.160 to mention you throw in Xavier Woods, but if all 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.520 of these guys are back, it's the first time since 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:57.720 what week one, that we've seen our entire secondary back 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:02.520 in action and back in healthy guys. I wrote about 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.680 this yesterday actually on the website that it has not 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:10.160 happened all year. Anthony Brown, your top four corners, Anthony Brown, 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.080 Jordan Lewis, Cheeto, and Treyvon have not played in the 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.480 same game this season. So there's at least a chance 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:20.160 that that happens Sunday. If not Sunday, then possibly next week. 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.680 So will by next week will the playoffs be a possibility? 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:25.520 We'll find out. I guess we got to say it 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.800 with our chest hair at about forty minutes, Isaiah, how 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.840 big is it to have that secondary back and healthy, 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.280 because I mean it's been a problem spot all season long. 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:36.760 But kind of like how we've said on this show previously, 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:38.880 you've got to evaluate these guys on who you want 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:42.920 to bring back and be a part of this next year, right, absolutely, 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.719 I mean evaluation happens every single day, and unfortunately these 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:48.840 guys have had a ton of injuries on the entire 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:51.480 side of the defensive side of the ball. But you know, 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:53.880 when you have your whole secondary, like like I'm mentioned yesterday, 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:57.000 it just it just feels different, right, It just feels different. 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.679 It's like, you know, if somebody one of us had 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:01.400 to leave town, right for whatever it had to take 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.320 care of something and somebody else stepped in. Guess what 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:05.400 they say, you know, somebody else stepped in. You know, 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:07.760 we're appreciative and you know, yeah, they're probably probably gonna 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.079 do a good job. I guess what. It's not. It's 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:11.600 not the crew, right, it's not. It's not the same crew. 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:13.600 It's not the same. You know, we're not gonna we're 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.520 not gonna float the same, right, We're not gonna transition 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.200 the same. We're not gonna understand what we're kind of 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:18.760 thinking and all those kinds of things. It's gonna be 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:20.920 a little bit different, right, So we're gonna we're gonna 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:22.760 to make up for some some areas in which we 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.040 were lacking in. So it's no different when you step 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.160 on the football field. You know, when we talk about communication, 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:29.560 um and that chemistry, you know, we were hope and 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:32.920 we anticipate that those four guys really are in sync 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.520 that way. We hope so because if they are, you know, 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:37.320 that's that's the best talent that we have to put 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:40.360 out there at one given time. And that's what you want. Yeah, 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:43.880 that's the two words you say, communication and chemistry. Those 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.520 are the two things that worry me, especially these guys 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:51.200 not having that a in game experience together. So you know, 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.079 obviously it's good, it's it's a good sign to have 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:57.560 all of these guys back, especially with us not being 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:02.600 mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, and so let's see. You know, 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:04.360 I want to know, I want to know how these 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.760 guys play together, especially knowing that we haven't been able 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:09.679 to see this whole group. But going back to something 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:13.839 you said, Kyle about Zeke not practicing, it does worry 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.560 me a little bit. It worries me as far as 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:18.640 you know it. Where's his health right now? I know 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:22.000 he's been been bogged down with this calf injury for 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.200 a couple of weeks. Now, if we have any chance 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:27.600 to win this game vers to forty nine, and Zeke 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.280 is going to have to be a big part of it, 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.160 in this running game and just allowing us to be 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.360 able to move the change. He's one of the best 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.680 in the league at you know, getting those first downs 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.640 on third and short. So you know, having him in 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.560 there being that battering ram kind of running back that 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.400 he has been in twenty twenty, it's going to be necessary, 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:51.640 especially for this game. Steven's words exactly yesterday were, Zeke 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.400 is a competitor. I think he'll find a way to 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:58.040 be on the field on Sunday. So, without saying it specifically, 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.920 he thinks that Zeke will be available Sunday. But basically, 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.600 whenever I asked him what kind of participation is he 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.480 gonna be, it was, We're gonna see a lot of 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.400 Tony Pollard. We're gonna see a bunch of different looks 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.439 from Kellen Moore. But how much of a wrinkle does 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:14.280 that take out of Kellen Moore's offense? And how how 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.480 does it affect Tony Pollard too? Because we've talked about 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:19.880 the one two punch. We talked about Ezekiel Elliott coming 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.439 with the power and then Pollard comes with the finesse. Well, 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.120 whenever the power is gone, how easy is it to 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:28.040 slow down the finesse? Isaiah? Whenever it comes to slowing 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.080 down Tony Pollard, when you don't have to worry about 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:35.080 Ezekiel Elliott, Oh, it becomes substantially easier. You know, one 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:38.000 two punches are there for a reason. One person provides 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.040 the strength that the other person doesn't provide, and obviously 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.360 in vice versa, so all of a sudden. Say, for instance, 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:46.360 Zeke doesn't he doesn't play, he doesn't suit up for 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:49.640 some reason. Now Tony Pollard is the feature back, and 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:52.800 guess what those defenses are gonna focus in on him. 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:55.960 Now you're our guy. Now you get all of our attention. 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:59.040 It's no longer we're gonna watch seventy percent of Zeke 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.200 film in thirty sat A Pollard. Now it's like, now 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.480 we're gonna pick you apart, Poler. We're gonna know everything 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:06.160 that you do. Um, it's no longer a surprise. Um. 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:08.559 It's the same reason why you know in football, you 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.360 don't you don't run the same speed. You know, if 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.040 you if you're if you're trying to run around on somebody, 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.079 you don't run the same speed the whole route. Because 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:16.800 guess what, I could stick with you, I know what 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:18.760 to expect. You want to be able to change gears 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.360 on somebody so that you can create some degrees of separation. 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:23.319 So when you come with that one headed monster to 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.160 the whole game, I know what you're doing. But that 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.640 two headed monster, that change up, that that change a speed, 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.320 that's what really throws people off. So um, the element 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.160 of surprise has gone as soon as he's out there 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:38.200 just solely by himself, right, Yeah, I mean I would 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:41.120 lean towards Zeke playing in this game. He very well 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:44.720 could be listened as questionable later today, if you know, 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:48.079 even if he does play. Look at the stats from 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.920 the Bengals game last week. It was twelve carries for Zeke. 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.080 It was eleven carries for Pollard. So I think I 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.200 think TP's gonna get get some run either way. I 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.800 would say one one underrated part of a couple under 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.360 parts of Tony's game. I think he's better between the 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:06.000 tackles than he probably gets credit for. He's not Zeke, 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.560 and that's not the main part of his game. He 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.640 is that change of pace, but I think he can 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.360 do it. Also, I think some of that goes back 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:15.000 to what he did in college. He just wasn't that 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.559 type of running back in college. He didn't have to be. Also, 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:20.640 I would say his blitz pick up in his pass protection. 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.800 I've just noticed it watching games this year, better than 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.880 it's been last year. There's just it seems like a 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.520 game a couple player two a game. I see him 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:34.400 may recognize something and give the quarterback whichever quarterback has 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.880 been in the game an extra second or two. So 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.719 I think he's improved in a couple of different areas 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.320 since he's been drafted, and I think either way, he's 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:45.520 probably gonna get some touches this week. And that's I'm 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.040 glad you brought that up, Rock, because that's one of 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:48.880 the things that you that people don't really take, and 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.160 people take for granted. Look at much, Look at much 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:54.280 Zeke's probably rubbing off on him. You know, you can't, 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.839 even though Zeke isn't being the Zeke that we all 0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.200 know what we would like this year, look at the 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.079 other look at the other areas in which he's affecting 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.719 the game. He's allowing our quarterback more time to throw 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.000 the ball. Right, He's given that sense of security to 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.480 coach philbin in the offensive line, right, knowing that somebody 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.880 else is back there. He's showing the guy that's that's 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:15.120 that's that's second in command behind him, exactly how you 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:17.560 go about your business, right, Okay, Paula. Yeah, you can 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:18.960 go out there and you can run around people, you 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.160 can get the edge and blow past me with your speed. 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:23.440 But guess what this part of your game that you 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:25.600 haven't that you haven't really excelled in this is where 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:29.640 this is where I excel right past blocking, right running downhill. 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:31.920 So look at those areas that Paula's growing in. He 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:35.560 has somebody to model that off of. So that's that's awesome. Yeah, 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:39.480 I think I like that. But but also also, you know, 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.040 I just feel like it feels as though the knock 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:45.600 on Kelly Moore's offense has been that he has gone 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:49.840 away from giving Zeke the lion share of the carries 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:53.880 right going, and Zeke's carries have progressively gone down. And 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.360 so you know, I know a lot of people we 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.000 talked about the great Nate Newton and his months or 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.800 three three yards in a cloud of dust, you know, 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:05.680 and people wanting to see Zeke just running to that 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:09.880 brick wall the whole game, Tony Pollard being that changeup guy, 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:12.760 and with Rob saying, look, he's, you know, Zeke rubbing 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:15.240 off on him and he is picking up those blitzes. 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.600 Gives you a little bit more trust in him. But 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.640 you know, for four quarters, I don't you know, I 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:22.600 don't know if we're in a situation like that where 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:27.320 we're primarily relying on him to do those things, if 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:29.480 we're in a good area, like, that's what I'm That's 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:31.880 all I'm saying as far as the importance of having 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.040 Zeke in here and Rob, You're right, he does a 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.400 lot better than people that say to give him credit 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.840 for meaning Tony Pollard in between the tackles. He is tough, 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:44.800 but he does have he is susceptible to losing yards 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.840 on on runs, whereas it seems like for Zeke he's 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:51.240 always falling forward to gain a yard or two. So 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:53.600 that's just the difference between the two. But it's gonna 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.000 be interesting going into this game if we don't have him. 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.480 That's a good point because there was a couple of 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:01.480 games ago. I think it was the Ravens game. I 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:03.800 don't think it was a lack of strength on Tony's part, 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:07.040 but he hesitated hitting the hole following his landmarks, whatever 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.560 the case was, and he got dropped for a loss. 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.120 You know, Zeke just doesn't do that unless he gets 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.200 hit in the backfield. So some of that maybe just 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:17.920 comes with experience, And I do think there's times where 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:22.520 Zeke softens up the defense and the box. The look 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:24.960 is not the same for Tony. Maybe they're not expecting 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.960 a run and you know, if Tony is ever the 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.200 featured back in a situation if he has to be, 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.040 that's not gonna be the case anymore. Especially gets a 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.520 front like forty nine Ers front now, and they're gonna 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.360 bring pressure and they're gonna challenge Andy Dalton to throw 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.440 the football. If that's the case, I mean, they're gonna 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.480 they're gonna challenge Tony Pauler to being him on the ground, 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:47.000 and then it would make Andy Dalton's job uber more 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.640 tough whenever it comes to this Sunday to try and 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:53.520 figure out how to pick apart this forty nine Ers secondary. 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.000 But when we come back, I heard a couple of 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:58.240 things that were pretty interesting in the press conferences yesterday, 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:01.360 one about Kellen Moore and one from Jalen Smith that 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:02.880 I kind of want to break down a little bit 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:04.920 when we come back.
