Speaker 1: it just popped up on my birthdays. One of the

27
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: great things about Facebook is having people's birthdays if you

28
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: follow him. So yeah, it's kind of cool. So yeah,

29
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: I said happy birthday, and I didn't know Beam was.

30
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: He was probably up watching something too. He's probably up

31
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:15,839
Speaker 1: playing games. Yeah, I just got finished playing game. Well,

32
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: happy birthday, Chris. And speaking of playing games, the Cowboys

33
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: do have to play a game, first game of the

34
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: postseason wild Card weekend. We obviously know who the opponent

35
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: is and we'll get into the Tampa's defense, which is

36
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense later in the second segment. But I wanted

37
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: to start the show asking you guys about practice. We

38
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: know that Mike McCarthy since the month month of December,

39
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: he's talked about the difference in how he handles practice.

40
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: After the game in Washington, he did mention in the

41
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: in the press conference, he was like, well, I take

42
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: all the blame. It's on me. I think we need

43
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: to practice this better and prepare better during the week.

44
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, me thinking, we know how he's changed to

45
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: where now sometimes they're not going full paths during practice

46
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: or going through walkthroughs, or spending more time in the

47
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: film room and in the rooms with each group of

48
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: people just planning. Yeah and all that. Do you feel

49
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: that the way that they've kind of changed the way

50
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: in the practice in the month of December has actually

51
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: hurt them in games? You know what? I think, to me,

52
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: this is how I look at that. McCarthy likes to

53
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: try and keep his teams as fresh as he can.

54
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 1: That's important to him. At the end of the year.

55
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: I think that the only team and I might be

56
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: wrong about this because again I cover this team, but

57
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: this team went through three game stretch in twelve days twice,

58
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: didn't they with Thursday games, Thanksgiving games, you know, games

59
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: on a Saturday game, a Sunday game. I think his

60
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: schedule got really messed up for him late in the year,

61
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: and I think that was something that he was trying

62
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: his best to navigate. I'm one of those teams. I'm

63
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: one of those guys though that and I understand this

64
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: on when you're watching a game and the first thing

65
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: comes to your mind is did they even practice this week?

66
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: By the way, you know, some of the mistakes and things,

67
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: and you're like, what, they're not working on this stuff?

68
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: You know, I've had I've had guys around the league,

69
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: you know, you know, tweet at me or text me

70
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: and say that this team even practice, you know, and

71
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: so yeah, they do. The problem is he's trying to

72
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: manage the way the games have been falling for him.

73
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,119
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's a normal week to week

74
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: to week that That's the one thing that these coaches

75
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: and players, they get so used to routine, and when

76
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: routine gets kind of messed up, it throws them off.

77
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: And I'm not using as an excuse, but I just

78
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: think they were a team that late in the year

79
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: they dealt with some some scheduling challenges. I think we're

80
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: the biggest thing. Yeah, And I we talked about it

81
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: every year about you know, once you get to Thanksgiving,

82
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: the last month of the season, month and a half

83
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: is just completely different with you know, even our schedule

84
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: here like for this podcast, like we're all like we're

85
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: like we're doing it right now, We're moving it around

86
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: because you know, McCarthy's press conference has moved around a

87
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: little bit, and we understand how this week is different,

88
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: but it's all it's a lot of those. It's a

89
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: couple of Thursday games, you got Monday games, you got

90
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: Saturday games, you got Sunday night games. I mean, everything

91
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: kind of changes. And I think that McCarthy will sacrifice

92
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: practice so to make sure that his team is healthy

93
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: and off their feet as much. And with everything, it comes,

94
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: you know, with a price, and the price is is

95
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: not practicing as much. And then I think sometimes it

96
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: shows if you had to choose, like a percentage, how

97
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: much is the difference. I'm like, how your week is

98
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: reflected and how you play during a game. But yeah,

99
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: he says it all the time, like the games are

100
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: one on Wednesday Thursday. You know it's not one. I

101
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: think I'm not missing, but yeah, depending like you know,

102
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: those practices on Wednesday Thursday. I'm trying to get used to.

103
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: For ten years, we all dealt with a Jason Garrett schedule.

104
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: You know, it was very regimented. You knew exactly with McCarthy,

105
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: you don't know, And like I say, I think there's

106
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: you talk to people in the organization they say he

107
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: the best thing he does is trying to keep the team.

108
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: Not not the best thing, but one of the positive

109
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: things about him is trying to keep the team healthy.

110
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: That's coming from the medical people. I mean, I mean

111
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: you talk to them like it Oxnard and stuff like, man,

112
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: your team, what do you what you really like about

113
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: Mike does a great job. He thinks about the players,

114
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: he thinks about their health. He thinks about how we're

115
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: going to go forward here. So yeah, I think that

116
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: these practices is like when you when you start to

117
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: install and put in stuff on, you know, on Wednesday Thursday,

118
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: you know how you practice Fridays kind of like okay,

119
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna do some goal line stuff, finishing touch stuff.

120
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: You know that you really have to focus on those

121
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: Wednesdays and Thursdays. The things that these games come down to,

122
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: you know, third down defense, you know, you know the

123
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: third down offense. You know, those are the things that

124
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: are now, you know, winning these football games. It's ability

125
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,559
Speaker 1: to stand the field, ability to get off the field

126
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: if you if you have bad days on Wednesdays and Thursdays,

127
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: that affects I remember watching practice as a scout, and

128
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: and and we can do it too, because we've done

129
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: it before training camp. So I'm not excluding you guys

130
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: from this. But how many times have you ever seen

131
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: coaches say repeat the play please now when you're repeating

132
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: plays on a Wednesday or on a Thursday. And I

133
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: remember it during the the Mike Nolan administration when we

134
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: were here watching practice some there was a lot of

135
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: the there were a lot of busts, Rob Ryan, there

136
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: were busts during practice and you're like, coach, guys, that again, please, coach,

137
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: can I see that again? But if that's happening during practice,

138
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: it's likely to happen in the game. You know you're

139
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: gonna make a call. I'man sure there was a I'm

140
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: sure that Kellen Moore has made calls that. You know

141
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: some of the interceptions like the screen the past that

142
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: got in the Philadelphia game that got intercepted, you know

143
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: every time the one to dacked through that when uh,

144
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: you know Sweat went up and got the and got

145
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: the ball that in practice, I'm sure they ran in

146
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: a couple of times and it just kind of clicked

147
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: along good and Tack McKinley didn't try and intercept the

148
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: ball like you know, it didn't like extend and make

149
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: a great catch. So now you're like, wait a minute,

150
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: we practiced this play all week with a defensive ends

151
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: not going to make a brilliant play on me like that.

152
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: So that's that's the issues we're running into practice. You

153
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: can tell when a team is struggling getting I remember

154
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: as a scout watching practice and going, we got no

155
00:08:55,160 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: chance this week, just because I saw how many mistakes

156
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: and coach, can I see that again play? You know,

157
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: some could like Garrett would just power through it. You

158
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: know you make it mistake, but other coaches will you know,

159
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: I need to see that coach. My players don't understand

160
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: what's going on here. And you know, the later it

161
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: gets in the week, the more likely you are to

162
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: have a mistake on a Sunday or a Monday, for sure. Well,

163
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: yesterday they did practice, and when we spoke, we've been

164
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 1: waiting to see Layton Hankins and then be odd ish, Yeah,

165
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: is there any progress there on the field happening with

166
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: those three guys. Well, McCarthy Usually we do this after

167
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: McCarthy and we had to flip. So McCarthy will still

168
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: talk later today. And because of the way the schedule is,

169
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: they didn't have to do an official injury report, so

170
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: we won't get one of those until later Today will

171
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: be the first one of the week, like a Wednesday,

172
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: since it is Thursday. So well, I don't really have

173
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: the answers for you there officially, but I do think

174
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: that Hankins and I guess be honest, is ready to go. Yeah,

175
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: they're thinking so I will definitely and Hankinson Layton for sure,

176
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: I think are gonna be. Yeah. I think Nick is

177
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: absolutely right about that when you look at the injury

178
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: to be oddish by the time they get him ready

179
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: or he's starting to get it. I was told like,

180
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: it's eighteen days that he's had now since the injury,

181
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: the time off another week, another day. I mean, trainers

182
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: look at this, and I've learned this over the years,

183
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: been dealing with a lot of them. They don't look

184
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: at days. They look at hours. Okay, now hours make

185
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: up days, but every hour that they can steal to

186
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: get a player ready, that's what they look at. It's like,

187
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: you know, if you ask him right now and say, hey,

188
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: Jim Mauer playing on Monday, good for you? Goes you know, yeah,

189
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: for injury, sure, because it's more hours that they have to.

190
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm not ready right nowt at eight, but I'll be

191
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: ready on nine. Yeah, right out about nine, I'll be set.

192
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: But the more hours, yeah, the more hours, because that's

193
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: the you know, that's the Britt Brown on the chords

194
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: out here, you know, that's the that's the opportunity to see.

195
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: Like when you watch Beyotish, I'm sure when he's on

196
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 1: the cord, what BRIT's trying to work with him on

197
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: is the lateral stuff. You know, he's also has to

198
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: work with him on. You know, the one thing with

199
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: a high ankle sprain that they'll tell you with offensive

200
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: lineman is when and especially when when we're talking about

201
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: a guy like Vita Vea and everybody out there that

202
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: watches our podcast know when you talk Tampa Bay, they

203
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: think of this this mammoth Winnebago in the middle of

204
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: the defense that doesn't move. You know that he just

205
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: you know, you fight him all day and that's and

206
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: that's and that's the problem that you run into a

207
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: Keen Knicks is another one of those guys. You run

208
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: into those big bodies. And so if you're if you're

209
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: if you're just trying to sit down and just take

210
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: these guys on. The pressure you put on that ankle

211
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: is tremendous. So BRIT's trying his best. I'm sure to

212
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: get Beyotish's ability to handle the pain of sitting on it.

213
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: And then also though, they're gonna have to run the

214
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: football and that means lateral and that means him pushing

215
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: off and then getting up on these linebackers and things

216
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: like that. But that, you know, eighteen days since, so

217
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: that that's that's they're looking at as a positive right now.

218
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: Think about it, if you hurt your ankle on us

219
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: on a Sunday morning at ten am and you're like, hey,

220
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: I gotta go just you know, I gotta go play

221
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: here in a couple of hours, or I gotta wait

222
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: till you know, Monday night, and completely different. And so

223
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: like you said, Thursday, Thursday game against the Titans, that's

224
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: two weeks today, Yeah, four more days and till till

225
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: Monday nights. Yeah, I mean everyone's kind of complaining. I

226
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: think it's ridiculous that the league does a Monday night

227
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: game for for pres for a playoff game. But I'm

228
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: sure in this particular case in the in the Bucks

229
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: are probably the same way. They probably got some guys

230
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: that they they you know, a few extra hours are helping. Yeah, yeah,

231
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: I was thinking about that. I'm like, because it is

232
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: unfair having a Monday night game when you're talking about

233
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But when you look at guys you're really

234
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: really needing to come back, that even that one extra

235
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: day can do a lot. You'll hear it more next

236
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: week when whoever it is Tampa or Dallas when they

237
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: go play if they go play cross country to San Francisco,

238
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: who had a who played on Saturday and has two

239
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: extra days for you and you really didn't do anything

240
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: starting doing anything until Tuesday morning. See, that's when it'll

241
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: it'll be. That's what the complaints. Yeah, the league, the

242
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 1: league will tell you that, you know, just go play.

243
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: But the Rams won a Super Bowl. Go on this

244
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: route last year, same thing. Yeah, they did the same

245
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: thing playing on a Monday night against Arizona and then

246
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: went and did I think I have that right? And

247
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: they'll also say, well, wait a minute, Tennessee got a

248
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 1: ton arrest, Jacksonville played on a short week that Jacksonville

249
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: played on a Sunday, then played on the Saturday night

250
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: and won that game. So the league really doesn't have

251
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: any care about what you think. I mean, you could,

252
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: you could complain about it. But the thing about it

253
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: is the extra day. If you're a Cowboy fan, on

254
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: the front end, it helps you for this game. On

255
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: the back end, you know, probably means you're gonna play

256
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: late on Sunday. If if you had to really either

257
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: that or you know, they wouldn't make you play Saturday night.

258
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: I don't think or anything like that. Yeah, you're probably

259
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: gonna play late Sunday afternoon. I would be my guest

260
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: if you if you win this game, they'll get to

261
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: probably put you late Sundays. What my guests would be

262
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: and if not fishing, Yeah, fishing, basketball and average games. Yeah,

263
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: exactly when I saw Yeah, I saw the Pelicans play

264
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: the other day. You went to the maps. I go

265
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: to the maps. I like the maps. I like the

266
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: maps games. They're fun. They got in who's their second

267
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: best player? Uh? Depends some nights on the night. Yeah,

268
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: Spencer did what He's probably their second best player right now.

269
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: Mavericks talk care on playoff week. Yeah, okay, we're not

270
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: We're not there though yet. I'm not. I still I

271
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: still think, I mean, I think this is It's gonna

272
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: be a great, really great game. I really think it's

273
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: I think so. I think the Cowboys are gonna play

274
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: a really great game, but I think Tampa will too.

275
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: I'm I think this is gonna be a good football game.

276
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: I believe that. I think that Brady, as great as

277
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: he is, I do think he'll bring out the best

278
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: in his players. They haven't had a great season. That

279
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: they're challenged obviously, but I think that they're going to

280
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: bring it. I don't think they're as talented as the Cowboys,

281
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: but I think that they'll play a great game. And

282
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: that's why I think it'll be a fun one. The

283
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: one thing is why you have this quarterback is you're

284
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: right that Dallas is a better team. Yeah, the quarterback

285
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: is what makes you know. You look across the field

286
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: and he comes running out and he does his Tom

287
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: Brady yelled to the crowd and now and then you realize,

288
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: oh damn, we're about to play this guy. You know

289
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: that's sometimes psychologically when you see that, you just it

290
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: freaks you out. And hopefully Dallas has done enough. They

291
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: played him now the last couple of times opened the

292
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: season with him both times, so it's you know you've opened,

293
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: you've played there, and you've played you know, you played

294
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: on a nighttime game too. You know when you went there,

295
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: you were a Thursday night game, and so after a

296
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: super Bowl and so that height of that opened in

297
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: the season. There maybe not a lot of guys on

298
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: this team that were there, but some do remember that,

299
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: and so you have to be at least it's not

300
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: like you're playing Tom Brady for the first time in

301
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: like five years. You're playing you've seen him the last

302
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: couple of years, and so you kind of know what

303
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: you're up against. You guys know, I know we have

304
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: to go and break but real quick, you guys know,

305
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: I like to be like receptive of whatever vibe is

306
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: happening in the environment and just like feeling that energy.

307
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: And it's weird this week because I don't know how

308
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: to interpret or how to feel about how he feels

309
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: in the building, because it doesn't feel like a playoff week,

310
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't feel like we're about to go play

311
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: Tampa Tom Brady in the first week of the playoffs.

312
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: And that's not to say that people are just walking

313
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: around not carried or just tuned out, completely checked out

314
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: from the season. No it's it's just I guess because

315
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: of how things turned out and how the year ended, well,

316
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 1: the season with Washington, it just changed the whole mood

317
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: and roment. I think twenty six or twenty seven years

318
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: will do that to you. And I think there's I

319
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: think there's there's that, there's that unknown now, there's that

320
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: nobody wants to get their heartbroken again. Nobody wants to

321
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: commit and maybe not in the building. I know from

322
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: working on one Hi five three the fan and we

323
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: all hear on Dallas Cowboys dot com deal, you know,

324
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: around the world one five three, you know we have

325
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: the reach and stuff too. But you get the feeling

326
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: that that fans are just they're they're they're kind of

327
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 1: expecting the worst, and it's like, you know, prude to us.

328
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: Go out and win a game, go out and beat

329
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, you know, go to San Francisco and win it.

330
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: You know, That's why I think fans are. They want

331
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: to they want to believe, but they also don't want

332
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: to get their their hopes up and then get crushed.

333
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: And then it becomes and then the postgame show becomes

334
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 1: told you told you this team twelve wins being the

335
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: playoffs one and done. You know, I think people are

336
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: just really suppressing their real feelings because they feel like

337
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 1: that they're probably gonna get disappointed, and you know, the

338
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: team's job and Mike McCarthy, Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones trying

339
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: to go out and win these playoff games and get

340
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: the fan base once again believing that, you know what,

341
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: it's not a one and done team and this team

342
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: can do some stuff in the playoffs. And that's unfair,

343
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think, I mean, it's unfair to the players,

344
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: but but that's the reality. That's way they get paired

345
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: compared to some twenty years ago. Yeah, I mean they

346
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: you're right, I mean, they didn't do this. I mean

347
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: they they haven't lost twenty five or twenty seven years

348
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: since the Super Bowl. Uh, most of them aren't even

349
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: that old. But but that's the way that it is.

350
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: And there is a lot of turnover in this league.

351
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: Like you said a couple of years ago against Stampa,

352
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: I mean, there's probably thirty percent of the roster that

353
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: wasn't even at that game. But but that's that's the

354
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: way it is. That's that's what what the Cowboys have created.

355
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: You wear the same uniforms, you wear the same helmet,

356
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: wear the same star. It is that, it is the

357
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: whole tradition. It's the history of the team. And these

358
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: fans that have been, you know, through everything, they're they're

359
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: frustrated and if they don't win, they don't go to

360
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. We're gonna have the numbers. Is gonna

361
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: be twenty seven, twenty seven years in a row since

362
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: that's happened, and that's that's unfair to the players, but

363
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: it is. That's the reality. That's it, and so you

364
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: know that's but if they go and win, you know,

365
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: no one will care about that, and it'll I think,

366
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: I think you'll you'll feel that excitement that we think

367
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: that we're missing. I bet, I bet it'll come too.

368
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: It's not just the way the game ended. It's also

369
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: you know what day is it. It's like, wells Thursday,

370
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: but it's not. It's Wednesday, and you know that kind

371
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: of messes with you a little bit too routine. And

372
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: now we're leaving on Sunday and all that. Once you

373
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: start getting there, I think when the players will get

374
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: there and then the Monday comes and then people here

375
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: at the office, so they'll be they'll be ready to go.

376
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: We're we're still we're still a few days away. You

377
00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: still mourning that game, but things will quickly change. Let's

378
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: go ahead and take this real quick. The sad thing

379
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: about it, though, is when it's over, you will feel

380
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: a thud. Yeah, we felt that in our lives, you

381
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: know you mean, and hopefully hopefully that you The thing

382
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: you want to avoid is the thud because it's like

383
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: you're going one hundred and eighty five miles an hour

384
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 1: and then you hit the wall and you stop, and

385
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: that's what being bounced is like. And I think people

386
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: just don't want to feel that. Yeah, you really don't

387
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: want to feel that, especially especially this early and this

388
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: early in the playoffs. Every you know, Minnesota messed everybody up. Yea,

389
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: and in Minnesota and this Washington game, the Cowboys are

390
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: not as bad as what they showed in Washington. They're

391
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 1: not as good as what they showed in Minnesota. They're

392
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle, and hopefully it's good enough to

393
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: beat the Bucks. Well, we'll see. Let's go ahead and

394
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 1: take our first break. When we come back, we're going

395
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,479
Speaker 1: to dive into the Tampa Bay's defense versus the cowboys offense.

396
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: Todd thought it would be secure to jog and the

397
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought

398
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

399
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

400
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

401
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

402
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

403
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: toss her the backpack with the beef stew at and

404
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: T five G. Fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated. Five

405
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: G requires compatible plan and device. Five G may not

458
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: nice case and he just you know, basically now he's

459
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: got the wheel of the chair on top of it.

460
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: So hang on, Nate, say hello, everybod I'm gonna fix

Speaker 1: your suit for you. Okay, hold on? How everyone doing? Uh?

00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 1: It's a different deal today, you know. Oh yeah, Derek's

00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: on that. He's doing some interviews today. Yeah, you know

00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: we had Woody last night and you didn't show up, Sir,

466
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I don't I told you I was,

467
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: but I passed it off to Mickey. How did that go? Oh? Great?

Speaker 1: How you doing, young lady? Doing great? Yes, Kevin Gray's

470
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:49,719
Speaker 1: a good teammate in mind at one oh five three,

471
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: You guys did a good job there. Anytime you get

472
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: he did a great job. What are you doing some

473
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: stories now? He's you know, in your Hall of Fame finalists.

474
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: You know you're kind of making some rounds a little bit.

475
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna see him there a little bit more. That's

476
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: great though he deserves it well. Boil on the show,

477
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: we're about to start talking tampas defense offense. Yeah. First

478
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: of all, I would take my maybe five or six

479
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: of my best plays that has been very successful during

480
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: the year, you know, especially teams that we've had struggled against.

481
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: What were some of the runs that we had and uh,

482
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: and I would try to incorporate them. But what I

483
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: need to know first and foremost is who is my

484
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: starting lineup? You know, is Tyler be Adish Is he

485
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: gonna be back? And then Connor mcgovernor can go back home,

486
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: and uh, Tyler Smith can go back home. These guys

487
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: have struggled. Who has been your biggest concern on the

488
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: line after the kind of shuffling to happen after the injury, Uh,

489
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: after I wondered about the center because I'm a firm

490
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: believer that if you're strong in the middle and you're

491
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: strong on your left side, you can you can you

492
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: can help everything else. And that that was my big concern.

493
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: I was one of the guys that was fighting for

494
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: beardist and economical government at the beginning of the year.

495
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: I believe that you should you know, and they did it.

496
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: They eventually to say, hey, let's just leave these two

497
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 1: guys alone and quit trying to replace them and let

498
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: them get good. I think that average to good players

499
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: with time and good coaching can be solid NFL players.

500
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: I don't believe that you have to draft in the

501
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: first round top flight lineman, but when you do get one,

502
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: you don't mess around with him. And I was your

503
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: left tackle, you'd let them stay there. Yeah. I was

504
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: going to ask you the state, and we're blessed with

505
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: your presence here. I know I am, because I have

506
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: this question for you, and I meant to text it

507
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: to you or call you. What's going on on the

508
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: right side with Martin and Smith is there? It seems

509
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: to be a little disconnect about the thing that Still

510
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: was able to do. Is Martin had to feel for

511
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: how Still what's going to fit and how they were

512
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: going to the combo blocks and things like that. Is

513
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: that something that like, you got two Hall of Fame

514
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: guys playing on that side. Is it really that difficult

515
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: for those two to work together like that? We're considering

516
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: how much that Martin has worked with Still this year,

517
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: your your your right tackle has lost a lot. Yeah,

518
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: he's not the great athlete that he wants was. He

519
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: still has the determination. You can see how he's set

520
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 1: with the authority and everything. But it's once you set,

521
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 1: it's got you gotta fight after that, and and and

522
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: he wants to, but he doesn't. He doesn't have it.

523
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: He's still he's he's an average right tackle now and

524
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 1: a lot of the things he does he kind of

525
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: finishing like from like he's still on the left side, right,

526
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: you know. So, uh, but that's that's what he's helping

527
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: the team. Like I said, he's not a he's not

528
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: a shell of himself like I hear some people say,

529
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: but he's not what we used to see in and

530
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna take some time. But we don't have time. Yeah,

531
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: you don't have time. Yeah, yeah, it's now. So what

532
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: coach fieldman has to do and coach the offensive coordina,

533
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to find out what's your five or

534
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: six best plays and just run a lot of different

535
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 1: formations making sure that you execute these five or six plays.

536
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: You don't need a pleasure of plays going against this defense.

537
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: You I would almost want them to stay base so

538
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: I can see what they're doing, because if they don't

539
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: stay base and they start blitzing all over the place.

540
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm to about run blitzes, not pass bliss, I'm about

541
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: run blitzes. That's gonna be hard for our offensive line.

542
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: If if be artist, you don't get back to be

543
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: able to adjust to be artists you get back. I

544
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: feel a little bit more confident, you know, because now

545
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: you're just dealing with Tyron, and Tyrone is savvy enough

546
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: to figure it out, and he can do just enough

547
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: to get by. But if you got to everybody slide

548
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: down one space, and you got Peterson out there, and

549
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: you got two weekends when your book is you can't

550
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: figure it out. Yeah, you know, Brian, we talked about

551
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: um having the extra night, you know, extra hours on

552
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: Monday night for for Beotish to get back and play.

553
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: But it's also important. We talked about it too, about Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Yeah,

554
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: the practice if they're not if he's not in there practicing,

555
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: because then then it's all these other shuffling going on. Yeah,

556
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: I think I think it'll be clear to see if

557
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: they have like like a Dakota Shepley or somebody in

558
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: their backup center as the center for practice, then that

559
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: that would let me think that Beodish would be back,

560
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: because if not, then you're shuffling all these other guys around.

561
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see kind of these next

562
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: couple days, even when we get to watch practice, how

563
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: they're lining up. Yeah, that's the thing about it. I

564
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: think that to me, it's you know, it's it's difficult.

565
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: You would hope that Beodish would be able to get

566
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: some reps, you know, you would hope that he would

567
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: be able to get out there and have some opportunity.

568
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: You know, they they need to, like Nate's talking, I

569
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: think they need to incorporate him back as quickly. It

570
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: just move every if they can move everybody back to

571
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: where they were and yels, Yeah, I really like what

572
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: you're talking about. Okay, when when you look at Tampa

573
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: and you're dealing with guys like Vita Vea and a

574
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: Keem Knicks okay, and these linebackers with David and then White,

575
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: the two linebackers, Hey, it's getting scared. Yeah. I mean

576
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: that's where the problem I have, Nate, is that I

577
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: want to try and run the football. I want to

578
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: I want to do that, but now I have to

579
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: deal with those two big inside techniques and then I

580
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: have to get somebody up on the linebacker? Where where?

581
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: Where would you play this? Is it secure the down guys?

582
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: Because that's why I was watching San Francisco do when

583
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: they ran the ball with McCaffrey earlier in this well

584
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: the middle of the year, and they were hitting it quick,

585
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: but they were doubling. They were doubling the down guys.

586
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: And then and then McCaffrey was good enough to make

587
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: the linebackers miss. Is that more of a Tony powered

588
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: thing than it was? Or is it because shot? Don't

589
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: be shy. That is what I'm trying to tell people

590
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: is if you're about winning, it's about personnel. Take some

591
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: of them plays that San Francisco didn't let Tony make

592
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: people miss. Yeah, don't worry about Zeke. It'll be He'll

593
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: have his plays. He'll have his plays. But this is

594
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: about winning. And I'm gonna get off there because I

595
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: gotta go. Let me. Let me say this. I heard

596
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: a young lady, miss miss Haley, asks a good question.

597
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: Are we're gonna try to get ga Michael Gallup more involved?

598
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: This is not the regular season. I need for CD LAMB,

599
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: for Dalton shows and for this this t Y guy.

600
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: I need for them to have ninety percent of the passes,

601
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: and with Tony coming out of the backfield, I need

602
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: for those guys to have ninety percent of them. If

603
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: Gallup is a part of it, so be it. If

604
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: eighty five is a part of it, so be it.

605
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,719
Speaker 1: But these are not the guys. Goal with what you know,

606
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: goal with the guys that are proven. And that's why

607
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: I won't be iddish back. That's why I want things

608
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: back to normal. Now, Tony, we've nursed you and Zeke,

609
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: but I need Tony to get seventy five percent of

610
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: the offensive snaps from the running back position because he

611
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: could make people miss. Yeah. I have a great a Nate,

612
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,719
Speaker 1: thank you, Thank you. I will I will say this

613
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: though as name walking off, but I will say that

614
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: that they they're gonna have to do some improvement improvement

615
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: there in the ring game, because I know you watched

616
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: the first game. Yeah yeah, and it was in Zeke

617
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: average five yards to carry there and it was Poler

618
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: that kind of struggled. Are they Has it changed that much?

619
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: I think to me, I think that Nate's absolutely right

620
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: about this. Though. You find your five or six players

621
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: that you can hang your hat on and and and

622
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: work from there and then try to The thing I

623
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: noticed about Zeke running the ball the ball was is

624
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: a lot quicker, you know. I mean Zeke has not.

625
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: When Zeke was a little banged up, it wasn't as quick.

626
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: But now I kind of feel like, though, you're gonna

627
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: have to You're gonna have to find a way. And

628
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: and I think it's about the timely runs. I know

629
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: everybody loses their mind on the first down run because

630
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: then it turns into second and nine or second and ten,

631
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: you know, and everybody's I've said this before. I think

632
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: it's when you It's when you run when you're supposed

633
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: to pass, and pass when you're supposed to run. And

634
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: I think Dallas has got to find that. When you

635
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: play the Bucks, I think it's a struggle to have

636
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: to kind of control their inside guys. I just think

637
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: it is. I think it's Vita Vea and Hicks. This

638
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: teams like six and one when those two play together,

639
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: when they don't you get you get my drift. They

640
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: don't win games, So you got to find ways. But

641
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: I think I think there has to be some quickness

642
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: to this game, and to me, that's where I think Pollard. Now,

643
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: Pollard has struggled against teams with big friend unts. Some

644
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: of his worst games running the ball against the Commanders.

645
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: The Cowboys didn't run the ball at all against the Commanders.

646
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 1: But if you look at Pollard bow times, terrible games

647
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: for him, you know, and maybe it's maybe it's like

648
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 1: if you, like I was talking about with Nate, secure

649
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,760
Speaker 1: down guys and then let him hit it. But maybe

650
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: you work more with him on the perimeter, more with

651
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: Zeke inside. They just haven't had the running lanes that

652
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: they had earlier the year. Wear the ball and that.

653
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: But against Tampa there were a couple of times where

654
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: they pressed it hard and then and then Zeke was

655
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: able to cut it back and it's a four or

656
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: five six yard game. Man, we would take that all

657
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: day if we're if every time they're impiling, and it's

658
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: and it's you know, instead of it's second in, it's

659
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,439
Speaker 1: second in five and you know Zeke's got a first

660
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: down because you know he's getting four or five yards

661
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: a shot. I think that's where that's I gotta try.

662
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: I can't just I can't abandon the running game like

663
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,479
Speaker 1: I did the first time. You played there a couple

664
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: of years ago. I just don't think you could do that,

665
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: you know. Um. One of the things that when he

666
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: went into the offseason with Kellen Moore, Um, it was like, hey,

667
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: he's got to get CD involved, He's got to figure

668
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: it out how to get the ball to CD. He's

669
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: got to figure out how to get the ball to Pollard.

670
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: And he's done that. He's done that this hit and

671
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: so you talk about what the focus is a little bit.

672
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: It took It took a little bit there. Yeah, I

673
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: mean it took four years, but they figured out well,

674
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: I mean this season, yeah, and then first game. I

675
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: mean neither one of them had a great game against Tampa,

676
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: no one did. But but um, you do wonder about

677
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 1: the focus of you know, what the focus is this weekend.

678
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: Also we didn't mention this earlier in the show, but

679
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 1: you know, you got you got teams at least one

680
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: calling to to speak with him. Um, the Panthers are,

681
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: you know, trying to seek permission and they to get

682
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: to interview him as their next head coach. So I

683
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: always wonder that during the week you know, how do

684
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: you balance the two there? I mean, this is a

685
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: huge game obviously, and and Kellen Moore is going to

686
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: do his very best, but he's also well, we'll getting

687
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,479
Speaker 1: to that. I had that for the last segment. Yes, okay,

688
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: then we'll talk about that then. But this for preparation. Yeah,

689
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: you think that that affects his preparation. Yeah, I think

690
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: that him and Dan Quinn anytime. You know, because now

691
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: in the back of your mind, you're starting to get

692
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: ready for interviews. At least these guys have interviewed before,

693
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: so they have an idea what they're up against. You know,

694
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: you use it. If it's your first interview, then you're like, Okay,

695
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: I gotta do this, I gotta do this, I gotta

696
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: have this ready and all that, I have a staff

697
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: list ready, I gotta you know, there's so many things

698
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: that kind of take away the fact that they've already

699
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: done it and they kind of know what works and

700
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: what doesn't work. I think they'll be better prepared for

701
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: getting the team ready this week. It's a really delicate

702
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: situation you have to deal with because when they're doors closed,

703
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 1: you're thinking that they're probably getting ready for an interview,

704
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: when you want to believe they're getting ready for a game.

705
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: You know, that that's that's just reality, you know. I

706
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: mean you cannot focus. You cannot focus on you know,

707
00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: like the task on hand when you have something maybe

708
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: even majorly in your life, a life changing move or

709
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: an interview, your your hope, you're focusing. But we're human. Yeah,

710
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 1: it's not that. No, And anyone that says, oh, well,

711
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: he should be focused in the playoff, I'm not even

712
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 1: entertained that it does be. Yes, if it was you,

713
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 1: you would do it too. I mean that's like you said,

714
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 1: it's major, so you and there are very very few

715
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: opportunities that come up every year, so you gotta, I mean,

716
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: look out for yourself. I think your window opens and

717
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 1: closes too, right, Like you know, it's hard to think

718
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: that it'll open back again real quick though, If I

719
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: could just say this, we've talked about Vita via a

720
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: Keem Hicks inside. That's going to be tough. The linebackers

721
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: will be tough to block. They're banged up in the

722
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: secondary with Mike Edwards is banged up, Logan Ryan's banged

723
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: up and Carlton Davis checked the injury report today to

724
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: see what happens with those guys there. I think they're

725
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: one of their best defensive players in the secondaries, Antoine Winfield.

726
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: He's the guy that intercepted Dak in the game. Kind

727
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 1: of a guy that plays around the line of scrimmage,

728
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, is always going to be in an area

729
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: to tie. You have to watch him on the turnover stuff.

730
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: He's just like his dad, punches the ball loose, you know,

731
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 1: gets in the right you know, area to make plays

732
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. It's a good defense. The defense

733
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: has carried them in a lot of games this year.

734
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: They don't score a lot of points. These guys don't

735
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: give up a lot of points either. Though. It's gonna

736
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: be a tough one, but a fun one. YEA. Let's

737
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: go ahead and take our final break, and when we

738
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: come back, we'll kind of wrap up things up, wrap

739
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: things up and then talk a little bit more about coaching.

740
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: The season is finally here. For months, we've been gearing

741
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: up to win. Now it's time for the team that

742
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: performs on any field. United egg in Turf with John

743
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: Deer zero turns for mowing, compact tractors for loading, many

744
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 1: excavators for digging, gator utility vehicles for hauling, implements for grading,

745
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: ay tools for bailing United aggin Turf for winning the

746
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: official LaGG and Turf equipment supplier of the Dallas Cowboys.

Speaker 1: Visit United Egginturf dot com for more. Todd thought it

748
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: would be secure to jog in the cheetah Savannah. Todd

749
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: believed the big Cat repellent he bought online was reliable,

750
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: and now Todd is trying to be faster than this

751
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. But the

752
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: good news is Todd has AT and T five G.

753
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the

754
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: best thing to do is stop running and toss her

755
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: the backpack with the beef stew At and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure,

756
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: It's not complicated. Five G requires compatible plan and device.

757
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: Five G may not be available in your area. See

758

781
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: so we only have a few minutes left. I know

782
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: that Brian threw in quite a few names in their

783
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: from the defense. In the secondary, wanted to ask you

784
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: nick Uh specific matchups. Who are you mostly concerned for me.

785
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's got to be right there at the middle,

786
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean, be Ata Vea and then whoever is your center.

787
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: I mean, because when it was Beoddish, I believe two

788
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: years ago when he played, I mean he was getting

789
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: thrown around pretty good up there, to the point where

790
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 1: they didn't even as Brian talked about two years ago,

791
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: they didn't even mess with the middle. They everything was

792
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: more outside running him and it worked. I mean, they

793
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: moved the ball. They I think over four hundred and

794
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: five hundred yards of offense, scored twenty nine points. I mean,

795
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: nearly won the game. But but I mean it's got

796
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: to be balanced because they also got down in the

797
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 1: red zone and didn't score. They had to go wide

798
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: and jar and missed the blocks. He got tackled. That

799
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: was a huge play in the game. So they've got

800
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: to be able to kind of control the middle and

801
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: they can't be intimidated there. And I think it starts

802
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: with Bava in the center. Yeah, I think this game

803
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: is going to come down to how well in the

804
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: secondary can you just can you prevent the big place

805
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: they they don't run the ball statistically, I think they're

806
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: going to try run the ball on you, because they

807
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: had success on him, the turnovers, the turnovers. Though they

808
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: had him in the last they had two games they

809
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: had back to back games, they had seven turnovers, had

810
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:14,439
Speaker 1: five against the Bengals and two against It was two

811
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: and but it was it was San Francisco and the

812
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,280
Speaker 1: and the Bengals games were just they've had some turnover

813
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: Early in the year, they did they weren't turning the

814
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: ball over. Now they've had some turnovers, but they had

815
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: They've had a couple of games that were alarming with

816
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: the turnovers. The Cincinnati game, since I was down seventeen

817
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 1: nothing at half, it looked like to me that Tampa

818
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: was going to cruise and win and then all of

819
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 1: a sudden interception, muff, fake punt, uh, Tom Brady fumble.

820
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: Tom Brady fumble had four They had four turnovers in

821
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 1: like eleven place is what it was. It was crazy

822
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,399
Speaker 1: how they how that just fell apart for him. So, yeah,

823
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: it's a it's something they've dealt with the thing with

824
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: Brady around when you get around him in the pocket,

825
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: he's put the ball on the ground, you know, like

826
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: people have punched the ball out on him. You know,

827
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: he doesn't move all that great, so but to me,

828
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: but their secondary can their secondary can of get the

829
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: fans on the ball. Yeah, they're gonna if you if

830
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: you're well, they prove that too. They mean you they had,

831
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: you know with Dak in that game. But the thing

832
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: about it is, to me, this game is going to

833
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: come down to their big plays, and you're big plays.

834
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 1: Dallas has struggled to eliminate big plays, so huge chunk plays, screens,

835
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: you know, the big play down the sidelines. I mean

836
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: that that's something that you and you know they're gonna

837
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna do that to you. You know, Dallas is

838
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: playing well in this game, it's going to be They're

839
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: not going to be given up the chunk plays. That's

840
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: the thing I think. And I think it's going to

841
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 1: happen in the secondary. Who knows what's going to happen

842
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: at left corner? You know, is this Xavier Rhodes? I mean,

843
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: do they trust right? You know, there's just so many

844
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,919
Speaker 1: unknowns right now, and it's a shame you're going into

845
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: this game with that kind of unknown Well, since we're

846
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: running out of time, we'll leave the coaching and the

847
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: fan question for tomorrow. But to end the show, I

848
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: did want to ask one question that I kind of

849
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: saw repeatedly, people asking should Dak Prescott and how Kellen

850
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 1: Moore decides to manage the offense. Should they focus more

851
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: on just short passes rather than trying to be that

852
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: aggressive throwing deep down the field. I don't think that

853
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 1: they have the receivers that you could just do that.

854
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: I really don't. I mean, I think CD has been

855
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 1: shifty and he could break some tackles, but Gallop and

856
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: Noah Brown and t Y Hilton, I mean, I mean,

857
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,439
Speaker 1: they're kind of more vertical players. They're not these big

858
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: guys that just catch the balls they get off me

859
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: and may so you can do it some, but I

860
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: don't think you can make your living with those kind

861
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: of receivers because I don't think that they're built that way. Yeah,

862
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 1: the problem with Dak is he's got that never die

863
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: attitude and he is the thing that hurts Dak Prescott

864
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,919
Speaker 1: the most. You know, you say, you have to live

865
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: with his decisions in a game. Some days you're living great,

866
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: in other days you're just you're sitting on the curb,

867
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 1: you know, And and that's the problem with this. You mean,

868
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: you don't know. You don't know which guy you're gonna get.

869
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: You might get the guy that looks brilliant throwing the

870
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: football like he did against Philadelphia. You know, Dallas got

871
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: four turnovers in that game and and want it. I

872
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: think they're gonna have to have a similar type game.

873
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 1: I think Dak is going to have to have the ability.

874
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: He can't throw that he can't throw the killer turnover

875
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 1: to He just can't. But history tells you that he

876
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,959
Speaker 1: is and and that's and that's something you just when

877
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: is that going to happen in the game. You know,

878
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 1: you don't need it to happen at the end when

879
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: you're trying to drive or something. You don't need a

880
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: catastrophic mistake like they had in the San Francisco game

881
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,240
Speaker 1: where they're driving the ball in all cinema, a quarterback

882
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 1: draw and they run out of time. You know, they

883
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 1: have to avoid those types of plays, but they also

884
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: have to avoid you know, his his uh, you know,

885
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: willingness to try and create something. You know that's you know,

886
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,439
Speaker 1: there's a time and a place, and in a playoff game,

887
00:45:55,520 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: you get punished when you make mistakes like that. Yeah, well,

888
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 1: all right, tomorrow we'll get into predictions and see what

889
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 1: we got for this Monday night game. That is it
