Here are Bill Jones, 6 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: Everson Wolves, and Mickey Spagnola. 7 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,919 Speaker 3: And it's ten am on a Tuesday. So what does 8 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 3: that mean? That means we're starting two hours early today 9 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 3: inside the SWBC podcast studio as Tampa Bay Week has 10 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 3: begun for us here on mix shots, Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 11 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 3: and Mickey Spagnola. We are just very proud of the 12 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 3: fact that we all remembered that we are two hours 13 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 3: early today. 14 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 4: We had to turn our right, that's right, Yes, get 15 00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 4: us out of our routine, yep. 16 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 3: And so there's luck to get too. After a full 17 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 3: weekend of NFL games, including two Monday night games last 18 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 3: night that looked like better matchups probably if they'd been 19 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 3: in September than December. But here we are. We move 20 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 3: on to week number sixteen and the Cowboys still have 21 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 3: playoff hopes. 22 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 5: They had us, they actually had us, they put in 23 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 5: the hunt. 24 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 3: Hunt. Still we're back in the hunt after one win, and. 25 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: The Saints are under us. 26 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 5: We're second to last and the Saints last, moving on up, 27 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 5: moving on up. 28 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 2: But I tell you. 29 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,919 Speaker 4: The Saints still have a chance. 30 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 2: I think they're like five and seven something. 31 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 3: Just because of their division. Maybe if if Tampa Bay. 32 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 4: Loses out, they're five and nine, so they're three games 33 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 4: back with three to go there. 34 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 3: So that's why they're still technically. 35 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 4: In it, and they probably to play like the Cowboys 36 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 4: sound to. 37 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 3: But we figured out the path, and what helped on 38 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 3: the path was Atlanta winning last night. You want to 39 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 3: root for Atlanta. You wanted Atlanta to keep on keeping 40 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 3: on because you wanted Atlanta to be up there at 41 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 3: least tied with Tampa Bay. 42 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 4: You want them to get You want them to win 43 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 4: the win is division, right, Otherwise they've got to lose. 44 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 3: Because you lost to Atlanta. You don't want to be 45 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 3: involved in any sort of tiebreaker that. 46 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 4: Included you basically have to lose. 47 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 3: They need to get ahead of or at least even 48 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 3: with Tampa Bay because they beat Tampa Bay twice, so 49 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 3: they have the tiebreaker on them for the division, right, 50 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 3: and as it plays out here, the Atlanta success helps you. 51 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 3: Now obviously the Cowboys have to win out, but and 52 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 3: a win over Tampa Bay helps Atlanta's cause too. But Washington, 53 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 3: they play Philadelphia this week and then they play Atlanta, 54 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 3: and so if Atlanta will keep winning games, that helps 55 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 3: the Cowboys. And you just want to get to that 56 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 3: last week where you have a chance to catch Washington. 57 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 3: And that's without regard to what happens in the West. 58 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 3: You need help out there too. 59 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 4: Well the way, uh, I wouldn't a step further on 60 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 4: all that stuff. So, yes, you don't want to end 61 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 4: up in a tie with Atlanta. If you end up 62 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 4: win a tie with Washington, which means they got to 63 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 4: lose out and you got to win out and you'll 64 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 4: have the time, you'll have the tie breaker if they 65 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 4: also need Seattle to lose two games if they're a 66 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 4: wild card team, right, so if the Rams win the West, 67 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 4: then so. 68 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 3: You want the Rams to go ahead and go ahea business, 69 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 3: take care business went on out Rams. 70 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 4: If the Cowboys end up in a tie at nine 71 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 4: and eight with Seattle and Arizona, they win the tiebreaker 72 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 4: on a on the basis of a better NFC record. 73 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 3: In Washington would be included. 74 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 4: In that right and Washington you would win head to 75 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 4: head right. 76 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 3: But the but if there's a four way tie. 77 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 4: Oh, you mean a four way tie for that last. 78 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 3: Spot, right, because that was you're gonna the best you 79 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 3: can do is tie Washington. But so you got to 80 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 3: look at it first. You have to look at a way. 81 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 4: And you would beat Washington on NFC record, but. 82 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 3: You don't get to that until you get it in 83 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 3: a head to head tiebreaker with them. So here first 84 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 3: you got it, but first you got to win the 85 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 3: multi team tiebreaker. And so to your point, they have 86 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,239 Speaker 3: a better conference. Cowboys would have a better conference record 87 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 3: than any combination of Dallas, Washington and the West teams. 88 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 4: Correct, because the best that helps clarify things because if 89 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 4: Seattle and Arizona don't get to ten wins, then they're 90 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 4: going to end up five and seven and four and 91 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 4: eight in the NFC, and the Cowboys could end up 92 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 4: seven and five. So that's the tiebreaker that would go forward. 93 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 4: But you would need none of those teams to get 94 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 4: to ten wins because the Cowboys can't get ten right, right. 95 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 3: And so in order to do that for Seattle, which 96 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 3: is eight and six right now, they need to lose 97 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 3: two of their last three games and their final three 98 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 3: opponents are Minnesota, which they will not be favored in, 99 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 3: at Chicago, which they would be favored, and at the Rams, 100 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 3: which they probably would not be favored. 101 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 4: Before they can beat Chicago's okay. 102 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 3: They're fine beating Chicago. They just need to lose to 103 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 3: Minnesota and Rams. And as far as Arizona, which is 104 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 3: at seven and seven right now, they're at Carolina, would 105 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 3: say that's a win. That's eight and seven. Then they 106 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 3: are at the Rams, make that a loss. They're eight 107 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 3: and eight, and then they finish against San Francisco and 108 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 3: it doesn't matter then, right, So they just need to 109 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 3: lose one of their last three. 110 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,679 Speaker 4: Right, and you have to make sure that nobody gets 111 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 4: to ten wins, because the Cowboys sure not get the ten. 112 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 3: Right, So it's actually doable, it is, it really is doable. 113 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 4: As Mike and the problem. 114 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 3: The biggest issue in this whole scenario, I think the 115 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 3: biggest issue is Dallas winning three games. 116 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, and you got to beat Tampa Bay and they 117 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 4: have not done well against teams with winning records. And 118 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 4: then you've got to go on the road and beat 119 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 4: Philadehiladelphia which has a which. 120 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 3: By the way, now has even though the division is 121 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 3: likely theirs, although they still haven't wrapped it up. Of 122 00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 3: course they they're in the for the for the first 123 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 3: round by still. 124 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, so they can't say, oh, that game doesn't matter 125 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 4: to us because they want that first round. It's Dallas too, 126 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 4: and it's and it's it's Dallas. And with Detroit in 127 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 4: Minnesota now tied at twelve and two, uh and Philadelphia 128 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 4: is twelve and two. So yeah, that first So. 129 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 3: We have what we've done here ever since is we 130 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 3: have cleared a path. Okay, the the road is narrow, 131 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 3: and by the way, the gate is small, and the 132 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 3: road is narrow, and the lightest twilight. 133 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 5: It's a doggy door. There's no gate. It's a doggy door. 134 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 5: I can see us trying to get through that hole. 135 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 4: But yeah you can. As McCarthy said yesterday when it 136 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 4: was brought up, Yeah, we talked to the team about it. 137 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 4: They I mean, we know, But what I know is 138 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 4: we got to beat Tampa Bay. 139 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 3: They don't need to get into the mood. We just 140 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 3: got it, really, but they just need to know they 141 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 3: got to keep within. 142 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 4: As I wrote, the if you look at the big picture, 143 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 4: it would be overwhelming. You got to just take snapshots. 144 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 2: Yes, well they say one body of the time, right. Yeah. 145 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 3: Now, And having said all of that, the Cowboys play 146 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 3: on Sunday night against Tampa Bay. And in order for 147 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 3: that game to mean something, yes, they need Washington to 148 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 3: lose to Philadelphia on Sunday afternoon. 149 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 2: Okay, doable? 150 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 3: Okay, so you're you're an Eagle fan on Sunday afternoon, 151 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 3: So Washington otherwise they're eliminated. 152 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 4: You realize Washington doesn't have an easy road. 153 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I'm saying, got it. 154 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 4: They have to either beat Philadelphia, Atlanta or Dallas. And 155 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 4: beating Atlanta after watching last night may not be too difficult. 156 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 3: But that's the Kirk Kirk Cousins homecoming games last. 157 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 4: Home another level of motivation. 158 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 3: His last homecoming game to Minnesota did not work out 159 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 3: well for. 160 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 5: Can you guys realize how many what what slim hopes 161 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 5: that we're grabbing for? God, it's so slim. First of all, 162 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 5: Tampa is a good team, that's right, they really are. 163 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 5: I mean it's going a lot of points. Baker Mayfield 164 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 5: is I mean, he's just the guy to be wreckon with. 165 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 2: That's just all of is to it.

That kid is really good. He's dogged. Of course, 179 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 5: we've seen him before. We know what he can do 180 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 5: and can't do. 181 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 4: But they lost some wide receivers, right, if I remember, well. 182 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 3: They lost it was in that game they were trying 183 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 3: to come back and Chris Godwin got the final two 184 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 3: minutes of that game. Liam Cohen is our offensive coordinator 185 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 3: and he is spent some time with Sean McVay with 186 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 3: the Rams. He was the Kentucky offensive coordinator in college 187 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 3: and then went to the Rams and went back to 188 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 3: Kentucky and so he was hired. But he was hired 189 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 3: to replace Dave Canalos who's now at Carolina the head coach. 190 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 4: So and having said that, with the amount of points 191 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 4: they've been scoring, let's see on this see if they 192 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 4: have the points here for Tampa Bay. They have scored 193 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 4: four hundred and three points so far in the NFC. 194 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 4: That ranks second behind Detroit, behind Detroit four h three 195 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 4: Detroit's four point fifty nine. And by the way, no 196 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 4: other team in the NFC has scored four hundred points. 197 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 4: And here comes the Cowboys chugging along at two ninety eight. 198 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 4: That's twenty points a game. 199 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, just about. 200 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 3: But they're coming off their Tampa Bay's coming off a 201 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 3: game in which they fell behind seventeen to ten against 202 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 3: the Chargers and then they rattled off thirty straight points 203 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 3: to end the game. 204 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 5: So you know, I didn't really see the first half 205 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 5: of that game. Only the second half is what really 206 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 5: stands out. And what you see is a quarterback like 207 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 5: Baker Mayfield who really has a feel for this offense. 208 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 5: I don't really care who's playing. I guess the strength 209 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 5: of their team has to be their offensive line because 210 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 5: he's able to negotiat in the pocket very well. They 211 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 5: keep him from getting into a lot of trouble, not 212 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 5: nearly the mistakes and turnovers that Baker Mayfield has been 213 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 5: known for in the past. And that is a problem 214 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 5: because when you get him outside the pocket, he's just 215 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 5: as dangerous as any other quarterback in the NFL. 216 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 2: You know. 217 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 3: And what my memory is of him with Cleveland was 218 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 3: he was running for his life all the time, you know, 219 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 3: which was which to your point, when he gets out 220 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 3: of the pocket, he makes plays whatever, which is what 221 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 3: he did in college because he'd be running for his 222 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 3: life and he'd make a play and all the all 223 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 3: the time. And I think he figured out that what 224 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 3: worked in college doesn't work in the NFL a lot 225 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 3: of times. That's what he figured out in Cleveland. And 226 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 3: then it continued at Carolina. And then after one practice 227 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 3: with Sean McVay with the Rams, all of a sudden 228 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 3: it clicked for it. And now, how about if he 229 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 3: didn't ever get. 230 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 2: That that was the way this first game is, only. 231 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 3: It was like a Thursday game. He arrived on a 232 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 3: national It was he arrived on Tuesday, and he had 233 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 3: to play on Thursdays. And he won the game, and 234 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 3: that one moment in time just resurrected his career. And 235 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 3: then he bet on himself after that. 236 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 2: Okay, he. 237 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 5: Knew he was with a good coach. He knew he 238 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 5: was with a good coach who knew how to take 239 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 5: advantage of his lively own. 240 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 2: I mean, you can look at. 241 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 5: Bacer Mayfield easily call him Matt Stafford. You could easily 242 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 5: call him Stafford. I mean they play the same, they 243 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 5: have the same you know, little tricks with the ball 244 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 5: and ways to get rid of the ball. Brett fav 245 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 5: like stuff, same thing. 246 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 4: I think it was the second coming of the victory 247 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 4: of the uncluttered mind. He didn't know anything. He just 248 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 4: went out and played. 249 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 3: And but even for Sean mc sean McVay saw that 250 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 3: in him, you know. And so then just like he 251 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 3: did in college, he bet on himself after he was 252 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 3: at Texas Tech. Okay, Patrick Mahomes is there comes in 253 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 3: right after him. In fact, he I think he so 254 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 3: he was a non scholarship player, and Cliff Kingsbury wouldn't 255 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 3: give him a scholarship because he had this guy named 256 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 3: Mahomes that was going to be their guy. So then 257 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 3: he transfers and walks on at Oklahoma and has to 258 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 3: back then Lo and behold, you had to sit out 259 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 3: a year even as a non scholarship player at both 260 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 3: places that you're at. And he was playing intermural football 261 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 3: and winning on the intermural football field at Ou and 262 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 3: and Bob Stoops tells the story, he looks. 263 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 2: Like he's still out there playing in football. 264 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 3: But even at Tech his true freshman year, he started 265 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 3: like five games at Tech and but then didn't get 266 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 3: a scholarship, and so he bet on himself and went 267 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 3: to Oklahoma, and even with you know what they had 268 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 3: at quarterback whatever you know, they he wins the job 269 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 3: and becomes a starter for three years there and Kyler 270 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 3: Murray has to sit on the bench behind for a 271 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 3: full year. 272 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 4: So when he went to Oklahoma, did he go as 273 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 4: a walk on or a scholarship? 274 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 3: He was a walk on. Stoops didn't even know who 275 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 3: he was when he walked into. 276 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 2: His office or. 277 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 4: Hitting asked for n I L money back. 278 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 3: Then right right, so and so then after that stint 279 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 3: with the Rams, then he bet on himself again and 280 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 3: signs with Tampa Bay and then one season leads him 281 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 3: follows the greatest quarterback in the history of the game 282 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 3: and send them to the playoffs and then he gets 283 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 3: a bigger deal. You want to add an Now he's 284 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 3: working on a bigger deal. 285 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 4: You want to add another layer to that concern. No digs, 286 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 4: No Butler and Owaria and Lewis did not finish the game, 287 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 4: so they could be without could be. We'll find out 288 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 4: probably a little bit more tomorrow. They're top four current 289 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 4: or four of their top five current cornerbacks having to 290 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 4: go up against everything. Bill just said, better get a 291 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 4: hell of a pass rush. 292 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 3: I'm going back to see those two corners that those 293 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 3: two dbs that they signed to the practice. 294 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 2: Squad, well, you're gonna have to. 295 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 3: D d Delaney and Troy Pride were signed to the 296 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 3: practice squad a week ago. And by the way, they 297 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 3: also signed it. I like this signing to the practice 298 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 3: squad last week. Brayden Daniels offensive guard. Uh. He was 299 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 3: a fourth round pick of Washington last year and then 300 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 3: he's had injury issues. He's been on like three different 301 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 3: practice squads this year. But he's from Heburn High School. 302 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 3: I liked him coming out. He was in the big 303 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 3: Green notebook. That's a guy on down the road. 304 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 5: I'll tell you what we don't just have to deal 305 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 5: with Baker Mayfield, and I'm talking myself into this. It 306 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 5: must be the offensive line, because was this guy, Bucky Irving. Yeah, 307 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 5: he's good, Well, hell Oregon, he's got a lot of holes. 308 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 5: I had a lot to choose from, you know. So 309 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 5: sometimes when he's running through that line, he didn't even 310 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 5: get touched. And those are the kind of things that 311 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 5: make me nervous, having the guy that's shifty and he's 312 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 5: so small getting behind those big offensive linemen. You don't 313 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 5: know he's behind you until he was five years down, 314 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 5: five yards down the line. 315 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 3: Fourth round draft pick out of Oregon, Bucky Irving, rookie 316 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty fifth pick, and they were teaming 317 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 3: him with Rashad White, so they met that running back 318 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 3: by commit. Actually, like their third back, Sean Tucker out 319 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 3: of Syracuse, he had a neck injury, head injury coming 320 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 3: out and that's why he actually was not drafted. But 321 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 3: he had a game earlier this season where he went 322 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 3: for one hundred and thirty one yards and fourteen carries himself. 323 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 3: So their run game is real, which again speaks to 324 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 3: what you're talking about. Their offensive line is real, and 325 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 3: one of the guys on that offensive line is their center. 326 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 3: Graham Barton, who's a first round draft pick who I 327 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 3: know is on the radar of the Cowboys. UH Cowboys 328 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 3: opted to trade down and pick up a third round pick, 329 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 3: which in essence became Cooper Bebie their center, and UH 330 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 3: drafted Tyler Geydon, who, by the way, on Guyton, you 331 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 3: notice anything on him in the game the other day 332 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 3: that you notice him at the line of scrimmage where 333 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 3: you know he hasn't had a tendency and he's gotten 334 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 3: called for this you know, illegal formation stuff. 335 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 4: He got his butt up on he was he. 336 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 3: Was clearly, clearly he has been coached to and it's 337 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 3: almost like he doesn't He did not have and I 338 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 3: didn't look closely. It is just at the snap of 339 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 3: the ball, I was like, all right, he's doing something 340 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 3: different with his yes, his stance and he you know, 341 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 3: left tackles will put that left foot back, and he 342 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 3: was more square to the line of scrimmage. It seemed 343 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 3: like to me. 344 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 6: And that's unusual for a tackle, right, Yeah, should have 345 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 6: told that to a dooga to get your butt on 346 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 6: the line of scrimmage? 347 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 2: Why why do you why does he. 348 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 3: Always do you want to go on a rent here 349 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 3: in the second that's okay. 350 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 4: But regardless of how he set up, he played better. 351 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 4: He played more aggressively I thought. 352 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 3: And he's got a negro. 353 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 2: But without Yeah, that's the problem exactly. 354 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 4: He's got to learn what. 355 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 2: Who was it? 356 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 4: Oh it was Tyler Smith. Remember all the holdings he got. 357 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 4: He wasn't holding he was he was punishing the guy 358 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 4: to the ground and they were calling hold. 359 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 3: Connor Williams did that all the time too. 360 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, that's that's definitely, that's definitely.

Everson. 423 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 3: One of the reasons that they're successful on offense is 424 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 3: exactly what you're pointing to. And right off the top 425 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 3: of my head, what I see with this offensive line 426 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 3: is they have been virtually injury free, really, and if 427 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 3: you look across the board in the National Football League, 428 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 3: the teams that are successful, it's usually you can point 429 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 3: to their offensive line. In this case, whatever area of 430 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 3: a team you're talking about, it's because they still got 431 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 3: their regular players playing and they have invest Tampa Bay 432 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 3: has invested in their offensive line. Their first round draft pick, 433 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 3: Tristan Wirfs was the thirteenth overall pick, and he's on 434 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 3: his second contract now. And as I mentioned, Graham Barton. 435 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 3: Their center is a first round pick. Cody Mock, their 436 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 3: right guard was a second round pick last year. So 437 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 3: it's been here in the last couple of years with 438 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 3: those two guys that they've shored things up. The one 439 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 3: injury issue they've had is a right tackle. They've had 440 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 3: a couple of guys that have played there. But which 441 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 3: gets me to the Detroit Lions. And remember when the 442 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 3: Cowboys played the Lions and how that game went. 443 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 2: Okay, you mean this year? 444 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 4: This year? 445 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 3: Okay, and it was a forty two to fourteen game 446 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 3: whatever it was, and they did lose Aiden Hutchinson in 447 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 3: that game. Okay, But prior to the Aiden Hutchinson injury 448 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 3: and leading into that game, one of the most and 449 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 3: that was like the fifth game of the season. One 450 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 3: of the most remarkable things about the Detroit Lions coming 451 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 3: into that game, in my opinion, was how they their 452 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 3: injury list was about one or two players deep and 453 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 3: they were backup players. Since then, they have been losing players. 454 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 2: I remember. I remember on. 455 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 3: The heels of that game, I said, let's wait and 456 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,719 Speaker 3: see where the Lions are at the end of the season. 457 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 3: Because the injury bug hasn't hit them yet and since 458 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 3: then it has now hit them and it's coming waves 459 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 3: now here. In the last week or so. 460 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 4: They lost to their line, right, they lost defensive line. 461 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 2: Well one of them was a dB. Yeah, they got 462 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 2: the job. 463 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 3: Broken jaw Carlton Davis and then Ali McNeil, their defensive 464 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 3: tackle who's won the best defensive tackles in the league. 465 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 3: He's for the year, but also on offense now David 466 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 3: Montgomery as a season ending thee So now that we'll 467 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 3: talk about that. 468 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 2: But I saw it come across. 469 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 3: The duo of Montgomery and Gibbs has now been broken apart. 470 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 4: So you're telling me other people have problems other than 471 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 4: the Cowboys having to play their backup guard at backup center, yep. 472 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 4: And the backup keep back guard just keep going. 473 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 3: But I mean, you look at it across the league 474 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 3: and it really is survival of the fittest, especially with 475 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 3: seventeen games. Uh huh. That's right, and that that's where 476 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 3: you're see in Tampa Bay is getting on a roll here. Well, 477 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 3: if you look across at their roster, they have been 478 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 3: able to stay pretty healthy. Yeah. That they had a 479 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 3: span there where they Evans and Godwin they both lost 480 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 3: that both of them the wide receiver, but they got 481 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,880 Speaker 3: Evans back. And that's why when Jerry. 482 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 4: That's that's a big back. 483 00:27:58,359 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's they are dangerous. 484 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,360 Speaker 3: Yeah right, And and Kate otten are tied in has 485 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 3: emerged as a real receiving threat this year. Uh. But 486 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 3: that's why back when the Cowboys lost to Ron Bland 487 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 3: in the preseason and Jerry was like, you know what, 488 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 3: that's all right. You know, it's all right because we're 489 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 3: going to get him back, right, you know. And so 490 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 3: that's the way you have to look at things in 491 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 3: this league is the injuries that occur that they're if 492 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 3: they're coming back in four weeks, eight weeks, whatever, you 493 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 3: still got a chance. But when you lose him for 494 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 3: the season, that's when like Diggs, like and and and 495 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 3: especially for the Cowboys now, even looking ahead to next season, 496 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 3: when you've got two huge question marks to start the 497 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 3: season next year, unprojected starters and overshown in. 498 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 4: Digs, well you might add, I mean he should be ready. 499 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 4: But you can add Sam Williams to that too, getting 500 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 4: back from his tarrant, he's got. 501 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 3: A he's got a four month head start. 502 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, on the right, right, So you would hope, but again, 503 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 4: Diggs may not be ready to start the season next 504 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 4: next year. 505 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 5: Well, you know, when you look at this team, I 506 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 5: see a coach that is extremely underrated. You see Todd 507 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 5: Bowles and I talk about at times. I talk about 508 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 5: the Baltimore culture, you know, talk about the culture that 509 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 5: they have in Philadelphia. Uh, you know, tough minded coaches 510 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 5: and players that just play above themselves. 511 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 2: I think this Tampa team is a lot like that. 512 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 5: Todd Bowles is one of the most underrated coaches I 513 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 5: think in the NFL. First of all, he's so quiet, 514 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 5: you know, he's you know, doesn't He's so unassuming about 515 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 5: everything that he does. 516 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 3: He's underrated by outsiders. People in the in the league 517 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 3: have the highest. 518 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 2: Respect for him, and he has really come through. 519 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 5: At this point. They're trending up with right now. I've 520 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 5: seen them have their problems. I've seen Baker Mayfield not 521 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 5: do so well outside the pocket, even though Mike Evans 522 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 5: had come back. I've seen them lose a couple of 523 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 5: games where you know, the defense was just better than 524 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 5: they will and so they're doable. There's no doubt that 525 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 5: they are doable. We can take care of this team. 526 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 5: But you have to worry about a culture, a team 527 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 5: that has a culture of being one of the toughest 528 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 5: teams in the NFL. 529 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 4: Sounds like you better score thirty points to beat. 530 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 5: Him, no doubt, because Baker, Baker's gonna He's gonna make it. 531 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 5: He's one of those guys is very dangerous when he 532 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 5: falls behind, very dangerous when he falls behind. 533 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 3: And with Todd Bowles, I mean it goes back. Of 534 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 3: course he was here twenty years ago, but his time. 535 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 2: He was at Grambling. He was the DC at Grambling 536 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 2: when Doug was a coach. 537 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 4: That he was on Parcels Parcels staff as the defensive 538 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 4: line coach, right, really, yeah, defensive. 539 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 3: Line would have thought he was secondary coach. 540 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,239 Speaker 4: Oh maybe secondary. Yeah, you're right, it was secondary. I 541 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 4: was thinking of Casey Rogers. 542 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 3: Who I think it was on his staff. Casey Rogers 543 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 3: is a co defensive coordinator. Yeah, and he would Casey 544 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 3: was with them with the Jets too. Yeah, and he's 545 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 3: followed him. I guess he's probably with Arizona with him too, 546 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 3: I don't know, but. 547 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, Bowles was. He was a good hand mm hmmm 548 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 4: for the Cowboys for sure. So you got a with 549 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 4: all these backups playing on the offensive line. You got 550 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 4: a reasonable explanation for why the running game now is flourishing, 551 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 4: other than maybe who you're playing against. 552 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 3: Apparently it's Cooper Rush. What I'm hearing, is it Cooper 553 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 3: Rush the reason? Said the coaches yesterday said it too. 554 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 3: Was it Schottenheimer? 555 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 2: Well it would have been. 556 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 3: Is he the Schoenheimer McCarthy yesterday was talking about. 557 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 4: I don't think McCarthy. 558 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 3: I think it was Schottenheimer talking about the pre snap 559 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 3: reads and the what the what the quarterback is doing 560 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 3: is to get them in the right the offensive line 561 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 3: in the in the right spot for the run blocking. 562 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 3: So apparently it's all Cooper Rush. 563 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 2: I can't give that to Cooper. I like Cooper. 564 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 4: Jerry. 565 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 2: Jerry also, Lie is just playing better. 566 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 4: He said that just playing. Jerry said on today podcast, 567 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 4: I mean on his segment that they're blocking it different. 568 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 4: So I don't know if they that's beyond me. 569 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 5: So so you're saying that the quarterback is the reason 570 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 5: that they're blocking, But. 571 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 4: He also said the quarterback had something. 572 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 5: If the quarterback made some adjustments with the defense the 573 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 5: offensive line and now they're blocking. 574 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 3: Better, maybe it's identifying that Mic linebacker they have Dak 575 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 3: had a problem. 576 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 2: But it almost suns when when when when Zeke was 577 00:32:59,600 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 2: his brother? 578 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 5: Bet, yeah, that guy trying to find the linebacker. 579 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 3: They might be well before, Rico has been the starting 580 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 3: running back since day one. Since since the first game 581 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 3: of the first game of the season, Zeke was the 582 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 3: starting run back. Rico became the starting running back in 583 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 3: Week two. So just everyone clear on that, Okay, But 584 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 3: apparently it has something to do with the line calls. 585 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 3: And Cooper is well, and he he's so quick to 586 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 3: make decisions even pre snap and post snap. 587 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 4: Is that the deal? 588 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 3: Well, that's what was said on the radio this morning. 589 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 4: Well, he said the quarterback processing very quickly. He said, 590 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 4: the quarterback is making good decisions, good at the line decisions. 591 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 4: So I don't know how that fits into the blocking 592 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 4: scheme has changed. 593 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 3: Well, the quarterbacks in involved in making those line calls, 594 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 3: and he is. 595 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 5: I mean, but I can't say that these guys were 596 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 5: just playing better. 597 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 2: The offensive line is blocking better. 598 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 4: That's right, How they're the runs, how the runs are decided, which. 599 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 5: Once again, quarterback has nothing to do with that, right, 600 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 5: That's all I'm trying to say. I mean, you know, 601 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 5: he just calls it, just the words come out of 602 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,319 Speaker 5: his mouth and then he hands it off when he's 603 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 5: not stumbling. 604 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 4: And but I mean, think about it, though, three straight 605 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 4: games rushing, it's been a while since. 606 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 5: That that offensive line is getting feeling real good. Of course, 607 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,720 Speaker 5: we're not playing against the best teams. 608 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 3: Well, that's that was about to bring out. When Derek 609 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,839 Speaker 3: Brown was playing defensive tackle for the Carolina Panthers last year, 610 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 3: they were a lot more difficult to run. Again, he 611 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 3: got hurt the first week of the season. Okay, they 612 00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 3: also are down Shaq Thompson at linebacker, and they didn't 613 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 3: have their rookie Trevin Wallace this week at linebacker, and 614 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 3: their last against the run, their last against the run 615 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:09,800 Speaker 3: in the East NFL. 616 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,919 Speaker 5: And you've got we played the Giants before that, right, 617 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 5: you know, I mean, I don't know that if their 618 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 5: running game is any good, then we played. 619 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 2: We just beve we beat somebody before that. 620 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 3: So, well, how about Cincinnati's defense? How they do it 621 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 3: this year? Yeah, they've said they've tied the NFL record 622 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 3: for most losses, having scored thirty points in a game. 623 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 2: And that that's because they suck. 624 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 4: So now, so now we find out right right, got 625 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 4: two teams with winning records, actually three. 626 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 2: That was something I was going to mentioned. 627 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 5: I was thinking about it last night, just about how 628 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 5: you know, with the last four games that's with except 629 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 5: for Cincinnati, those teams weren't really respected that much. This 630 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 5: team here, they have lots of experience. The coach is good, 631 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,320 Speaker 5: the quarterback is good, They're good at every position. 632 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 2: If we think we. 633 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,240 Speaker 5: Deserve to be in the playoffs, this is the game 634 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 5: that we have to win. 635 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,760 Speaker 2: These are the games that we're gonna have to win three. Yeah, 636 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 2: just like that. 637 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,320 Speaker 5: So you're gonna have to play so far above yourself 638 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 5: from what you've been playing. It may not be above 639 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,720 Speaker 5: yourself from last year, but from what we've been doing 640 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,839 Speaker 5: this year. Everybody and every area of our team has 641 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 5: to play a whole lot better than they have been, 642 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 5: even though we're proud of what they've been doing so far. 643 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:39,280 Speaker 2: The last three four games. 644 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,839 Speaker 4: Cincinnati came in at four and eight. Right now, they've 645 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 4: won two straight. 646 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. 647 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 4: The Giants came in at two and whatever and ten 648 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,720 Speaker 4: maybe I think, and they are losing. 649 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 2: And then this. 650 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 4: Team came in at three and ten. 651 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 3: Carolina, So as the Cowboys have won three of their 652 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 3: last four. 653 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:07,839 Speaker 4: Games, and before Cincinnati, well it. 654 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 10: Was it was the starting with the Washington game, Washington, right, okay, Washington, 655 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 10: and then the Giants lose to Cincinnati in heartbreaking fashion 656 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 10: and then win at Carolina. 657 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,319 Speaker 3: That's what they've done. And I'm telling you Washington is 658 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 3: not as good. 659 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 4: Else they are record.

If New Orleans converts on a two point conversion, they. 665 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 2: Lose that game. 666 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 3: So just then they would create they're not that good. 667 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 4: They would be a five hundred team, right if they 668 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 4: had lost that two games, that's right, regardless of whatever else. 669 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,399 Speaker 3: The problem is, you got to get to that game 670 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 3: meaning for them, get to that game.

Also, he 734 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:34,839 Speaker 6: was asked. 735 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:40,479 Speaker 4: About somehow this got out there. I don't know how 736 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 4: Steven answered the question about, you know, the salary cap 737 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 4: going to be tight. They acted like tight again and 738 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,800 Speaker 4: I'm going, no, it's going to be tight or because 739 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,280 Speaker 4: of the count tracks you just signed, right. 740 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 3: Why is that news? 741 00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:02,759 Speaker 4: Because I don't know Steven said something that made them 742 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:08,360 Speaker 4: think that they can't sign Micah, and Jerry basically said, 743 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,320 Speaker 4: no one said in this organization we can't sign Micah. 744 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,759 Speaker 3: Well, the problem is they can't sign anybody else. 745 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:20,239 Speaker 4: Right, right, exactly like, do you want to resign Rico? 746 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,480 Speaker 4: Depending on what somebody else offers him? Can you resign 747 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 4: Osa because of the way he's playing, he's gonna get 748 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:32,319 Speaker 4: some attention. Can you resign Kendricks who was playing on 749 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 4: a one year deal? So that's the problem, but he 750 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 4: wanted to make sure that the salary cap was going 751 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:45,200 Speaker 4: to be tight next year, But he did not mention 752 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 4: anything about not being able to sign. 753 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,839 Speaker 2: I think if you have a team, you can pay 754 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 2: three superstars, right. 755 00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 4: But not at the top of their position, which was rare. 756 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 4: You're headed right now. CD is second, right, but he's 757 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:12,320 Speaker 4: really first because guess what in Minnesota they got income 758 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 4: they got state income tax. 759 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:18,400 Speaker 3: Because we're talking as far as the salary caps, yes, yes, 760 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 3: I mean, but you're right, you can. You just have 761 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:29,799 Speaker 3: you have to hit on all of the not all 762 00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,320 Speaker 3: of them, but you have to have a keep churning 763 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 3: the roster with finding those players who can do what 764 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,720 Speaker 3: these players are doing right now, these these undrafted guys 765 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,080 Speaker 3: that are performing. 766 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:49,920 Speaker 2: There time to play, buddy. 767 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,400 Speaker 5: If we don't have no development time to get you 768 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:53,520 Speaker 5: but out here that's well. 769 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:57,600 Speaker 3: And with the injuries, I mean, I would love somebody, 770 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 3: and especially with the new reserve rules now injured reserve 771 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 3: is used a lot more than they couldn't be used. 772 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 3: But once a year, you know, not that long ago. 773 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:15,280 Speaker 3: Are there more injuries now than what there were twenty 774 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,239 Speaker 3: years ago? It sure seems like it. We kind of 775 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,080 Speaker 3: talked about that, yeah, which means that you have to 776 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,959 Speaker 3: have a ninety man roster. Basically you go to training 777 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,920 Speaker 3: game with a ninety man roster. And most of these 778 00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 3: teams were, including the practice squad they're using throughout the 779 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,720 Speaker 3: course of the year, seventy five to eighty players easily. 780 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,399 Speaker 4: I don't have time to count it, but I will 781 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 4: for tomorrow and see how many guys have actually played 782 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,680 Speaker 4: in a game. And I bet it's getting I did 783 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 4: it at one point and it was in the low sixties. 784 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:48,680 Speaker 4: I bet it's the seventy by. 785 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 3: No, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it's seventy five. 786 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:55,440 Speaker 3: And what was especially with the practice squad elevations, you 787 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,319 Speaker 3: are naturally good. I have some and so like, if 788 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:02,000 Speaker 3: a guy is hurting for a week or so, you 789 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,560 Speaker 3: can not make him active for a week, and you 790 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 3: elevate a practice squad guy, and that's going to raise 791 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,560 Speaker 3: those numbers some than what they used to do. But 792 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,280 Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's been great for the league 793 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:19,040 Speaker 3: and for those journeymen players to be able to have opportunities. 794 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,720 Speaker 2: You know, you don't know who the hell anybody is anymore. 795 00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 3: It's great for them to still have life in the league. 796 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 3: Josh Butler, I mean, and Kemon Hall, you know, those 797 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,640 Speaker 3: keep on going.

I mean, you don't know half 803 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 5: the defensive lineman. 804 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,680 Speaker 2: You don't know.
