00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is He's Talking Cowboys,

3
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: screening live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the

4
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. Here are Mickey Spagnola, Brian Bravis, Rob Phillips,

5
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: and Bill Jones. And it is a terrific Tuesday here

6
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: at the Star in Frisco. Bye week for the Cowboys,

7
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: but much to talk about as we get you started

8
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: here after a big win over the Eagles on Sunday night,

9
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: thirty seven to ten, and the Cowboys sitting pretty in

10
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: first place in the NFC East. Would you say they're

11
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: sitting pretty? They're making sitting pretty well, precariously, they're sitting

12
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: pretty after winning well, this season would be very precarious

13
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: if they had not won on Sunday. Well, they're up

14
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: by one game. They're up by one game. But here

15
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: are you seeing what's happening in Philadelphia right now? They're

16
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: just going down the tubes. Well, that locker room is fractured. Yeah,

17
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: as we saw on Monday Night football, though this league

18
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: is a week to week proposition could be riding high

19
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: like those New York Jets. And then right back down

20
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: to earth. Does that just like make you sick to

21
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 1: your stomach? Could you sit through that whole thing? Mickey?

22
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: Last night a thirty three to nothing, a New England win.

23
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: By the way, the Patriots now have other seven wins,

24
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: three of them they've scored thirty three points in. That's

25
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: got to be the first time in NFL history that

26
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: a team has scored thirty three points in three games

27
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: of a season. That aside, Mickey, what the gumbags did?

28
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: They would beat Yeah, that's exactly I mean, scumbags. Gosh,

29
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: it's kind of sad the US the definition, the proper definition, Mickey.

30
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: It's kind of the same schedule the Cowboys are playing,

31
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: I know, except for one game that they lost that

32
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: they beat that I can't even say it. He threw

33
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: four interceptions. Sam Darnold finished with a three point six

34
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: quarterback rating. How did you get to three point six?

35
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: Maybe he also lost a fumble too. Maybe it was

36
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: the eleven completions out of thirty one thirty two attempts

37
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: that lost. Make you sick, Brian watching it makes sense? Sick.

38
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: I think that what's going to happen in the way

39
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: this season. We're all veterans in this They're probably gonna

40
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: win a game they probably are not supposed to win.

41
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: You know, you lose a game you probably shouldn't have won.

42
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: I agree, And yeah, right now, I've seen New England

43
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: go out and lay a big egg before. I mean

44
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: they haven't this season. Of course, they're seven to oh.

45
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: I think that makes the thing that makes New England

46
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: unique is how they're able to adapt to who they

47
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: are and who you are every week, you know, like

48
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Left, you know, Sam Darnold talked about, well,

49
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are what they are. They play single high,

50
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: you kind of understand what they are. And then we

51
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: start to hear about the stories of only seeing ghosts

52
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: and things like that, you know, And I think that

53
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL you have to be able to adapt

54
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: to who you are and then who the other team,

55
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: who your opponent is. I don't think the Cowboys adapted

56
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: to themselves very well in the Jets game, for all

57
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: the injuries they had. You know, we've been talking about that, hey,

58
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: need this guy to play well, need this guy to

59
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: play well, need this guy to play well. And you know,

60
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: I feel like though that that that really was the

61
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: downfall in this season. I mean, I was asked about

62
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: this on Austin radio this morning, and it's like, what

63
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: do you make of all these games? What have you

64
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: learned from each game? And I felt like I learned

65
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: maybe on the mail back too, the question was what

66
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: did I learn or about this team? Or who is

67
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: this team? Who is this team? And I learned that

68
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: they could play defense for sixty minutes against the Saints.

69
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: I learned they could turn the ball over horribly against

70
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: the Packers, you know. And I learned that if they're

71
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: good players don't play well, they could lose against an

72
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: inferior team, or they can go out and find a

73
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: way to put everything completely together offensively, defensively, and special

74
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: teams manage the game, manage the clock, and get an

75
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: impressive win against a division rival. So it's it's a

76
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: I'd see what the Patriots have done for so many

77
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: years and how they operate, and I'm surprised that more

78
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: teams don't try to do that. And I'm not talking

79
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: about the deflating of footballs or spying on an opponent

80
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: or whatever edge you need. I'm surprised that more people

81
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: haven't tried, you know, strategically, strategically strategically week to week,

82
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: planning week to week. They get up a second round

83
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: pick for a slot wide receiver that you know, just

84
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: here that you know, they feel like, man, they've got

85
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: a roster that's set. You know, they've got they've got

86
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: a great defense, they've got all this stuff, and you know,

87
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: but it's they did too. They did to the to

88
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: the New York Jets what the Cowboys should have done.

89
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: But the Cowboys didn't have their players and they didn't

90
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: play well enough. They're good players, did not play well

91
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: enough for them to win that game. So I understand it.

92
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: I understand because, like I said, we're gonna be sitting

93
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: here one day on the show and we'll be talking

94
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: about a victory we didn't think they were going to get.

95
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: That they're gonna get. And what Brian is alluding to

96
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,559
Speaker 1: there with the Patriots and the aftermath of their thirty

97
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: three to nothing when last night they have worked a

98
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: trade with the Atlanta Falcons, acquiring from homage Sano Sanoo. Yeah,

99
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: they got a big slot receiver. Now they gave up

100
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: and they gave up a second round draft pick. Problems, right,

101
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: So on the heels of that, they're not they're not satisfied.

102
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: I went and looked at their roster. Yeah, and you

103
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: know how many wide receivers they veteran White, I mean,

104
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: these are guys who have NFL playing experience, not some

105
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: college free agent coming in. Yeah. Since the start of

106
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: training camp, how many wide receivers they have had on

107
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: their roster it's thirteen. Yeah, and they've had eleven tight ends. Yeah.

108
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: I mean they're just they're just running through them. Just okay, no,

109
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: Marius Thomas, No, you go play for the Jets. You know,

110
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: all these guys they're just running through trying to come

111
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: up with Antonio Brown then with all his headache, they said, hey,

112
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: we'll pay you, we'll send We'll do what we have

113
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: to do, you know. And I know, I mean to me,

114
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's a model because of what you've

115
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: seen consistently. But I think we focus on this team,

116
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: you know, we focus on what they need to do.

117
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: And it's been so wild, wildly inconsistent this first half

118
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,679
Speaker 1: of the season that I think it's hard to say,

119
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: you know, And I wrote down this thing. I wanted

120
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: to ask you guys, Oh, give me something that I

121
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: can hang my hat on for the second half of

122
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: this season. Give me something, Give me you know, can

123
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: you tell me something that, Okay, is wildly as inconsistent

124
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: as they be, but give me something I can hang

125
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: my hat on that. I know that the second half

126
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: I can, I can live with. Is there something out

127
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: there that you guys have thought about that as you

128
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: kind of look back at this team and the way

129
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: the offensive line played in this last game, I think

130
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: is what they're capable of week to week, and with

131
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: the exception of probably the Saints game, when they've had

132
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: all their pieces, all those guys up front, I still

133
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: feel really good about what they can do controlling the

134
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,559
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. And Jerry said it on the radio

135
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: this morning, that's probably the best game he's seen Lyle

136
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: Collins play as a cowboy, and I expect him to

137
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: just get better and better. They've they've talked about that,

138
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett talked about how he's just kind of grown

139
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: into that role is at tackle. So I still think

140
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: and that's the identity of this team, and I just

141
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: think it's still they're moving forward, although they're gonna face

142
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: some good defenses going down the stretch, no question about that.

143
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: What are you thinking making You know, it's a good

144
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: question because because Brian's right, they've won games and they've

145
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: lost games in different ways. So it's hard. But it's

146
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: hard to look at it and draw trends to you know,

147
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: why did they lose the game to the Jets Because

148
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold scored twenty four points on him? Yeah, there

149
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: were no turnovers. Yeah right, if you make a field goal,

150
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: you scored twenty five points against them, which should have

151
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: been enough, right, right, But they did a better job

152
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: against the running that game, and they didn't do a

153
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: good job. Well if so, No, you can't say it's

154
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: the same every week. Well, it was, they lost in

155
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: different ways. That exactly beat you exactly, and he ended

156
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: up with a three point six quarterback rate, and Aaron

157
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: Jones beat you the week before the guy was seeing ghosts.

158
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: That's that's the difference, is that they put it together. No,

159
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: last week, Rodgers beat you, believe me. And keep in

160
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: mind that the Jets last week were in the same

161
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: boat with their offensive line in a worse boat. And

162
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: then what the Cowboys were the week before. Yeah, they

163
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: didn't have their left tackle last night, their center went

164
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: out halfway through the game, and they were playing they're

165
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: playing with a rookie playing at right tackle, going up

166
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: against the New England Patriots and that defense, and then

167
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: what do they think the quarterback was was seeing ghosts?

168
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: What was the difference? Though they blitzed them right, they

169
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: put pressure on them. It took advantage of the mismatch

170
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 1: that they had exactly not to talk sits, but the

171
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: other sorry, bro no, the other thing that we talked

172
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: about Tom Brady, but there was a stat from what

173
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: I watched last night they have eighteen picks this season. Yeah,

174
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: I mean that's the most sense indible the ninety six

175
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: packers that you were part of that organization. I mean,

176
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: you know you see what happens with this team too.

177
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: If you can get some takeaways and you can't ask

178
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: for four a game, probably, but it makes such a

179
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: huge difference in deciding game. And I don't know how

180
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: many of the Saints had in their Super Bowl season

181
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: and O nine they had a bunch of inc Patriots

182
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: are doing the same thing. And so Patriots have what

183
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: they have on offense, and then they're they're going to

184
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: do that on defense too, and and and again. They

185
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: six of their seven wins again or against teams that

186
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: have combined for about seven wins all year. Catch circle

187
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: back with you, Mickey on the So the the Jets game,

188
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: I tried to pin it more on guys, they're good players,

189
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: not stepping up the guys, the receivers and you know,

190
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: and then the receivers and the quarterback. But he had

191
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: two of them missing. Yeah, No, but I meant I meant,

192
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: I meant gallup. I meant gallup. Okay, gallup? Yeah, and

193
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: so but then is this but but just listening to

194
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: you talk, did they did they get did they not

195
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: game plan defensively the right way to fill this guy?

196
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: All I know is they had a quarterback in his

197
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: second year that hadn't played in a month, right, And

198
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: and and when you look at it, you got to

199
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: put pressure on them. You've got to go after them.

200
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 1: And they didn't do that right, basically rushed with four

201
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: guys the majority of the game, and they weren't getting there, right,

202
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: And they allowed him to complete twenty three of thirty

203
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: two passes for three hundred and thirty eight yards. Right,

204
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: he had a quarterback rating of one thirteen point eight. Right,

205
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: he was three point six. All right, So with with

206
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: Mickey's Mickey's thought. Then they've lost games all different ways.

207
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: Now they've lost it with They've lost it with their

208
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: inability to score touchdown against or kick a field goal

209
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: against the Saints. Yeah, they attack the field goal against

210
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: the Jets two when it came down to well, right,

211
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: but if you think about okay, I wasn't gonna pin

212
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: the loss, the Jet loss on the coaches. But I

213
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 1: think Mickey makes a fair point. If you don't go,

214
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: if you don't go after saying, if you don't go

215
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: after him and cause problems, then you get what you deserve.

216
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: They really didn't blitz in that game. No, So if

217
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: Mickey's Mickey, if if you if you're buying into Mickey's thought,

218
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: which is not wrong. You know, I was thinking, okay,

219
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: they had some guys that didn't play well enough, those

220
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: backup guys that we kind of thought, Okay, they need

221
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: these guys to play better. They need it. Maybe, you know,

222
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: Cam Fleming needed to play better, and Mickey has been

223
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: kind of talking about the whole thing with Cam Fleming

224
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: is not good enough. He's not good enough, you know,

225
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: so maybe maybe me thinking well, cam Fleming's got to

226
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: play better, Well, maybe he's not capable of playing better.

227
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: But these coaches got to feel like that, they've got

228
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: to be capable of coming up with a game plan

229
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: that can that can affect quarterbacks, that can affect a quarterback,

230
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: a second year quarterback that's coming off being gone for

231
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: three weeks. You know, So maybe there's maybe there's more

232
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: problems than that. Maybe there's more problems in you know,

233
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I mean, if Philadelphia win was great

234
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: because I felt like they put everything together, everything together.

235
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: But but the fact that I'm saying, I just I'm

236
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: trying to find something that I can hang my hat

237
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 1: on the second half, and I don't know what it is.

238
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: There's not one thing that you can point to that

239
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: do you feel like, well's now I've got one, Mickey's not. Well,

240
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: excuse me, but you've opened it up to me to think, well,

241
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: can you can you hang your hat on these coaches?

242
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: Can you hank? Can you can you rely on them

243
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: to come up with a plan like they did against

244
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles every week? Is this something? Was that

245
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: something just a one time thing? I mean, you were

246
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: somewhat hamstrung with your cornerbacks in the Jets game, sure,

247
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: but you know, offensively, despite their shortcomings, they had four

248
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: hundred yards total offense. Yeah, and they and they could

249
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: have scored twenty five points. That should have been enough

250
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: and it wasn't. And when you see that guy play

251
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: the way he did last night, oh my god. And

252
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: you know what, and those half of those interceptions weren't

253
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: great defensive plays and he was just chucking it up. Yeah,

254
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: he did chuck it up a few times. So you

255
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: never did enough to make him chuck it up. Yeah,

256
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: that's he was way too comfortable. You let him stand

257
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: on the goal line and throw a fifty yard pass

258
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: for ninety two yard touchdow. They acknowledge it. He got

259
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: they hit him twice, I think. Yeah, it just wasn't

260
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: saw like we think a pretty good quarterback in Carson

261
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: Wentz get knocked around and they and they did bring

262
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: pressure and they, yeah didn't they. I mean they felt

263
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: like the rusher a few times and the rush got there.

264
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: Jalen Blitz some and they used him as an extra

265
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: rusher at times too. Yeah. Yeah, they. I mean they

266
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: affected the game with their pressure. Can we hang our

267
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: hat on that? I think they're capable of it. Yeah,

268
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: I guess it comes down to you trust your cornerbacks,

269
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: because if you're gonna blitch, I trust them in single cover.

270
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: I trust Jordan Lewis a lot more than I trust

271
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown. I'm just gonna I don't you know. Maybe

272
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: I'm not telling the world out there's something that they

273
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: already don't know, but I I there's to me. Anthony

274
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: Brown does not just get his job back. I think

275
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: Jordan's earned more. I think Jordan's earned more snaps, absolutely,

276
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: I do. I think the way he plays, the toughness

277
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: he brings out there, the way he competes, they need

278
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: somebody with his attitude out there playing in that secondary

279
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: Barn Jones a Woozier, fine, but put that make sure

280
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: that that Nichol has got to be a competitive soob

281
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: out there. You know, he's got to be a guy

282
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: because they're gonna carry you all over the field. You know,

283
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: you get a guy out there that's gonna eight plays,

284
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: Give me that guy. I think the coaches agree with you.

285
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: You think so. I think you could see it in

286
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: Jason yesterday in the press conference when he asked about

287
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis, he always talks well about his players. No, no, no, no, no,

288
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: you could see his eyes light up about him. Okay, okay,

289
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: well I hope you're right. And then you and Jerry.

290
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: Last week he was first guy mentioned that was before

291
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: this pass game. Man. He was talking about Jordan Lewis, Chris,

292
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: you know, Christmas Shard and I know Rishard likes the

293
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: taller corners. That's he said last week. The guy's a closer.

294
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: There's not been one time he hasn't maximized his opportunities.

295
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: So at some point does it become more consistent with

296
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: the snaps? Yeah, how about clothes? How about how about

297
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, give me something, hang my hat on. Jordan Lewis.

298
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: I know he's gonna go out there and compete, you know,

299
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: and and they're gonna need it. You're gonna need it

300
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: some of these games. I mean, you got you got

301
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coming up. They're gonna throw it. That guy Minnesota's

302
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: throwing it. Well, the guy in Detroit, he's over forty

303
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: thousand yards for a career, he's gonna throw it. My

304
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: guy I'm hanging my head on is Ezekiel Elliott. Yeah,

305
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: Rod was talking about the line. I think the line

306
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of tied into with Elliott. I mean and

307
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: I'll throw in Amari Cooper too when he's healthy. My goodness,

308
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: you know, some the routes, the consistency, I mean, he's

309
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: he's understanding, and so yeah, he take he takes that

310
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: passing game to another level, you know, with his game

311
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: breaker ability, you know. And and he's the main reason

312
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: that decks. I don't know what his yards per attempt

313
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: are right now, but two weeks over eight in that

314
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: game the other day, and so he's around nine. He's

315
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: around the tops in the league, up there with Patrick Mahomes.

316
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: But it's it's establishing that run in being committed to

317
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: the run and with the with the way Zeke is

318
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: running himself, how hard he's running. Are we two old school? Me?

319
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: You bill two old school about having to run the

320
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: football or the consort of having to have that, are we?

321
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: I mean? And I get in an argument with the

322
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: guys all the time about throwing the football. I do,

323
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: and I'm with you. I believe I would say it's

324
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: when Dak Prescott stats or twenty one to twenty seven

325
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: for two hundred and forty yards two hundred fifty yards

326
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: that interception was that was him being a little reckless

327
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: on the play. Which I don't think he would. I

328
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: think he knew what he was doing. But I mean,

329
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: but a we are we you know, everybody's out there saying, oh,

330
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: well you can't, you know, you shouldn't, you should throw

331
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: the ball at the time. I want to run the football.

332
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: I want to run the football. Well, I think it's

333
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: balanced more than anything. Yeah, it's balanced, Absolutely, it's balanced.

334
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: But why do people argue with you about that? I

335
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: don't know. But you know what, because and I've gotten

336
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: this too on Twitter and stuff, the stat guys will

337
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: tell you, well, just run the play action, regardless of it.

338
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: The run games, run working and all that stuff. I'm

339
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: sorry from my own eyes watching football my whole life.

340
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: When you've got a running game that's cooking, it makes

341
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: the rest of everything else worked better. It just it does.

342
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: And he's also your best player. He's your best player.

343
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: He's set like to Bill's point, he set the as

344
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 1: much as the defensive guys set the tone. Yeah he

345
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: did too, lower and his shoulder and knocking a guy

346
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: to the ground on that first drive. I mean, he's

347
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: he's still the engine for this thing. For me. Look,

348
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: we left training camp thinking this was a very talented team. Sure,

349
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: and they went three games with weird stuff happening. It's

350
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: still a very talented team. I don't think we were

351
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: wrong on what we saw with our own eyes and

352
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: so I I just think if they play clean football

353
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 1: and don't have weird things happen in the middle of

354
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: a game the way they did against Philadelphia, they're They're

355
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: very good and they can play. I know this schedule

356
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 1: is good, right, I know it's tough, but they're good.

357
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: They just got to play that way. You can't can't

358
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: turn the ball over, you can't get BS calls and think, Okay,

359
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: well we're good enough to make up for that stuff.

360
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: They're not. Right. They're good enough to win if they

361
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: play clean football. I think Jason spoke to that in

362
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: the press. We've talked about how and Dak said last week,

363
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: makeable plays. We got to make these plays. Stop getting

364
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: our own way. Jason said he'll put plays up on

365
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: the board to these guys and just say, look that's us,

366
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: that's us. We've done it before. Look these high level

367
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: type plays. Go out and do it again and again

368
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: and again again. All that stuff. You know, it's it's

369
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: just being It's about being who you are. And sometimes

370
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: teams force you to not be who you are too.

371
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 1: I think you know, the Saints beat them up front.

372
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: You have to give you, I mean, you have to

373
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,239
Speaker 1: give other teams credit. It's not constantly Oh it's just

374
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: about us why we lost the game. Yeah, but I

375
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: think they Yeah, they're like Mickey said, they've been there's

376
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: been chunks of yardage and some of these losses where

377
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: it's like, now, how many How did they only score

378
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: that many points? You know? So, yeah, they've left stuff

379
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: on the field, no doubt. Talking about offensive approach, how

380
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: did the Saints beat the Cowboys? They didn't make any

381
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: mistakes and they were really good upfront defensively, Like Rob said,

382
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: I felt like they Yeah, they running the ball, They

383
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: matched the Cowboys running ball. I mean, they protected their quarterback.

384
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 1: He didn't make any huge errors. Even he tried to

385
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: give you the game at the end though with that

386
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: sack he took, but that it was the very end. Yeah,

387
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: I have straight games playing that way basically, Yeah, Carolina,

388
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: basically the same thing too, These teams that are finding

389
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: a way to kind of protect their quarterback but allow

390
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: them to grow a little bit along along the road. Yeah,

391
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: it's pretty easy to win any game with any quarterback

392
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: if you only give up ten points. Yeah, that's why

393
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: if you're looking at this thing right now, you can

394
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: argue the Patriots, or you could argue the Saints is

395
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: the best team in the league right now because of

396
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: what they've done without a Hall of Fame quarterback and

397
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: Kamara last week. I mean, that's the Cowboys lost the

398
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: close game, to my opinion, the best team in the

399
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: NFC right now. Right now. We'll see what happens and

400
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: see what these how these teams progress, you know, and

401
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, I don't think you're not buying Green Bay. Um,

402
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: They're they're up there, and their defense has been good too.

403
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: But I'm just so impressed with what the Saints have

404
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: done without without Breeze. I mean, it's it's just you know,

405
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: it's true, mat Whin, it's Seattle against the Cowboys to

406
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 1: go to chicagoan win. Yeah, But I'm with Mickey too.

407
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys still have another level they can get.

408
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: I mean, we the other night was proof of what

409
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: they can be if they if they put it together.

410
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at the rest of the schedule,

411
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: and I know you said they'll win a game they shouldn't. Yeah,

412
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: I only see one they shouldn't New England. Yeah, at

413
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: New England, I mean should should they be good enough

414
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: to go to Chicago and win beat Minnesota at home? Yeah,

415
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: you might be a little bit me your team, I

416
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: would be able to travel, if you know, if again,

417
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: if it turns into an ugly, nasty game, well you

418
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: never know. Problem is there's a string of all of

419
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: those games together. Oh no, yeah, it's well, you're about

420
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 1: to play an SEC schedule, which to Detroit. Yeah, at

421
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: New England. Then you got to play a short week

422
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving, and then you got to go to Chicago

423
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: that wouldn't play the Rams, and then you go at Philadelphi, right,

424
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 1: And that was the stretch there that that was scary

425
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: because you had to that's the only not got Minnesota

426
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: prior to that all away home away, and then all

427
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: of a sudden and you're a way way short and away. Yeah,

428
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: and these games are going to come fast and furious

429
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: when they get back here. It does every November around here.

507
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: at Chicago. How many days is that tough stretch? There?

508
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: You're going to confuse me because you're we're dealing with

509
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: the change in the muff there that's thirteen to plus five.

510
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: That's four games in eighteen days. Yeah, so there you go,

511
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: all right, when you we're talking about what in fact

512
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: right now we've already played college season. Sure, Okay, we're

513
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: eleven games into this thing now basically a college season.

514
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: And if this team is going to go where they

515
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: want to go, yes, which is to Miami or Super

516
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: Bowls started again, that's right, there's thirteen Well, there's twelve

517
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: or thirteen games left, probably thirteen. Okay, that's with your

518
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: four and three start, it's probably thirteen games still then,

519
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: so you got a whole college season to go. Who

520
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: does the offense or the defense need to be see

521
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: the most improvement coming forward in the next thirteen games?

522
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: Which needs the most improvement? Yeah? Which? Which is? Which

523
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: is the calling card? Defense? Which is going to if

524
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: one is going to be over the other, that's gonna

525
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: get them. I just to me, they've got to play

526
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: better defensively, I think, you know, And Mickey brought up

527
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,479
Speaker 1: about what happened with the Jets and the lack of pressure,

528
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: and you saw pressure last week. Can they sustain the pressure?

529
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: Can they continue to do things in the secondary, Can

530
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 1: they continue to create turnovers. I think that was something

531
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 1: you know that you wish you could say, Oh, I'd

532
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: love to hang my hat on more turnovers every week,

533
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: but I don't think you can do that. But I

534
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 1: think this defense. I am more nervous about this defense

535
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 1: than I am the offense, especially what Rob said, the

536
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: offensive line, you know, their health, hopefully things will work

537
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: out there. But I think the quarterbacks play and fine,

538
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,719
Speaker 1: the running backs fine. You know, they've got so many weapons.

539
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: They could put up points if they don't hurt themselves

540
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: with turnovers and penalties. They're they're just fine there. It's

541
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: defensively that I worry about people making plays on him.

542
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: And where has that changed from the beginning of the

543
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: season for you? Well, again, I'm sign. I've seen him

544
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: play sixty minutes with the Saints and hang in there,

545
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: you know, deserve to win that game. And then I've

546
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: seen other thing that happened. You know, they got run

547
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: on against the Packers a little bit, uh you know,

548
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: and then they let a quarterback coming off of a

549
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: sickness beat him. You know, those are those are things

550
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: that bother you. You just there's you just don't see

551
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: any real consistency there is it you know, we went

552
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: from last week we were just like, ah, the run

553
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: defense has got to get better. Oh, then we went

554
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: from run defense too, well, the pass rush has to

555
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: be better. Well, the pastors got a little bit better.

556
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: But I just I don't know if the consistent. I

557
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: think there's more consistency on offense than there is on defense.

558
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: And that's what that's what makes me nervous about the

559
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: second half, he said. The season. I mean, if you

560
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: look at it, two of the three losses, they gave

561
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: up fifty eight points. Yeah, you know, you can you know, Okay,

562
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: they scored twenty four against Green Bay. Sometimes twenty four

563
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: has got to be enough to win, right right? Um,

564
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: you know the Jets twenty two. They would have had

565
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: twenty three, They could have had twenty six, But you

566
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: gave up twenty four to the Jets. Yeah, I don't

567
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: know why I can't get over that. You know what

568
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: you you asked me, did you watch the entire game? No?

569
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: I gave up because I could see it was twenty

570
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: six to nothing or whatever. It wasn't At one point

571
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: it was like, Holly, well, hopefully they do like I said,

572
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: they get a win. They're probably not supposed to get

573
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: one of us again. Mickey said, he feels like they

574
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: could go through to New England. You know, who knows

575
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: if you if you kind of got things humming along

576
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: and offensive, I think I think to beat the Patriots,

577
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to be more in this captain obvious here,

578
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: but I think you're gonna The teams that have given

579
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: them problems in the past have just come into the

580
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: game and been more physical than them. They have been

581
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: more physical with their receivers. They've run the football on them.

582
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: You know, they've affected Tom Brady and the way he's

583
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: thrown the football. So yeah, it's tough to win games

584
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: up there, but you just have to be when you

585
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: play them. They they they play a different style. They're

586
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: going to adapt to you. Like I said, but you

587
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: have to be a lot more physical than they are

588
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: to win that game. And we've seen it when the

589
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: Giants beat them in Super Bowls. It was what happened.

590
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: The Giants front seven got after them. Brady had grass stains.

591
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: He looked at the back of his uniform, he had

592
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: grass stains on it. When you affect him, you affect

593
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: the way that they play. And so that's and that

594
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: maybe that's the game that all of a sudden, you

595
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: kind of put everything together for one weekend and it

596
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: and it and it just all works out for you.

597
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: And to your point about this defense, they were super

598
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: physical the other night from from the jump, you know,

599
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: the force turnovers. Early on, they got after the Eagles

600
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: offensive line, who I think is a pretty good offensive line. Yeah,

601
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: a good offensive line. And you know, and it wasn't

602
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: them just taking advantage of the left tackle either, No,

603
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: they did. They took they took advantage of the right tackle.

604
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: They did Lane Johnson had had a poor game, Layton

605
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: Vanderesh getting in the backfield and make him plays for

606
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: losses we talked about. I mean, that was very much

607
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: like we saw this defense pretty consistently last year play

608
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: and that again that kind of what Mickey said, like

609
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: we've we've seen it. We know what they can be.

610
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: That's the level they can get to, and if they

611
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: play at that level, they really can hang with anybody

612
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: in this league. I truly believe that. But it's it's

613
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: been about consistency so far this year on multiple sides

614
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: of the I mean, don't you think this offense can

615
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: score on anybody? I do. They're healthy. Yes, yeah, absolutely.

616
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: I mean you saw Tyrant Smith out there probably an

617
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: eighty percent playing a game, and you know, and you

618
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: know he Lyle Collins for you know, it's one of

619
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: those that reminds me of that the Willis Read game,

620
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: you know, the Jemmy. You know, here's a guy with

621
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: a big, old, huge brace song going out there and playing. No,

622
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: Willis Reid didn't finish the game, and that gets the

623
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: Knicks that time. But but I mean you get an

624
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: idea he's out there playing hurt. He did. He's out

625
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: there and you know sometimes these guys when they when

626
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: they're hurt, they go out there and play at an

627
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: even higher level. And I think that's to me where

628
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: this team is capable of playing. And I hate saying

629
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: that because I think you could see it every week.

630
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: I think you could see them play the type of game. Now.

631
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: Maybe me, the Philadelphia Eagles are trash, you know, But

632
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: I mean I'm a value weighting Fletcher Cox as you

633
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: look the same. No, but you know what, Zach Martin

634
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: and Connor Williams and Travis Frederick did a hell of

635
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: a job a block in the inside. You know. Okay, well,

636
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: how about Brandon Graham, I ain't. Brandon Graham's a pretty

637
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: damn good player. Well, Lyle Collins just eliminated him completely

638
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: from this game. You know. I feel like though that

639
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: that tight ends are pretty good. You know, got a

640
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: couple of good tight ends, and tight ends didn't kill

641
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: him in this football game. They're capable of doing this.

642
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: But this defense, like I said, the word consistency keeps

643
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: popping into my head because you see that and just

644
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: when you want to say, oh man, they got this

645
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: pass rush going again, band rush with a tackle for loss,

646
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith looks good. They're doing they're doing great. Then

647
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they go out there and they

648
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: play a game like they did against the Jets, where

649
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: they're giving up big plays and chunk plays and explosive

650
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: plays and they're losing a football game. And then the

651
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: fans are howling. Yeah, they're always howling. Although the mail

652
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: the mail bag has been a little less full. Sweet

653
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: there's let's explain about Yeah, absolutely, yeah, that's the way

654
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: it works. Am I wrong? Though? I mean defense? Defense?

655
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: I mean the kickers kind of said, shut the hell up,

656
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: brought us, We don't need to replace me, you know,

657
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I still I still maybe I just don't

658
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: get so close. Yeah, that's that's sixty three yards. Think

659
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: about that. Tom Dempsey yard, Yeah, oh you know what.

660
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 1: And I had this answer question and I went back

661
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: and look because somebody was worried about, well, what if

662
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: he comes up short, who's gonna who's gonna tackle the returners?

663
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: The only offensive guy, I mean, a non lineman out

664
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: there was Witten, the holder and the kicker. Yeah, but

665
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: here's what I noticed. And I don't and tell me

666
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: if this happens, because I didn't. I don't think I've

667
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: seen it before. On the kick, six of those offensive

668
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: were spring Yeah. Absolutely, they were sprinting. Mickey's right. I've

669
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: never seen that before. Yeah. It was one of those

670
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: things where obviously Keith O'Quinn and them had told this

671
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: the group, Okay, listen, we're gonna try this, but you

672
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: guys have got to cover it. And you got a

673
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: fan out one hand. Garnade can't get you all. You know,

674
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 1: you gotta have you gotta be fanned out there and

675
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: then and tackling and hope you can make the play.

676
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: They were Mickey's right, though. They were all in the

677
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: sprint to try and make sure that thing got home.

678
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: It looked like the charge of the heavy brigade lumbering

679
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: down field. I still don't understand why they didn't just

680
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: come up with a all out block on that. You

681
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: know that teams need to figure that out. That this

682
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: guy can make kicks from sixty something yards, you might

683
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: want to rush him a little bit three of them now, yeah, yeah, um,

684
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: all right, We're gonna take a break and then we'll

760
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: come out, come out and have those dads to those

761
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: nine routes, to those five year olds and bounce the

762
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: ball right off the back of me and lindsay, come

763
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: on out. Would you rather the Cowboys win there or

764
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: beat them in the super Bowl? Though, Old Bill I think, yeah,

765
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: you want the Bill. Maybe if you don't win, it

766
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: could be your Super Bowl preview right there. You might

767
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,919
Speaker 1: get Since Kansas City lost, Patrick Mahomes, he'll be back.

768
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,919
Speaker 1: He will be back, yep, quicker than ever. Yes, he will,

769
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: all right. Joshua Crisp on Twitter says, love the show, gentlemen,

770
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: thank you. My question is do you see the Cowboys

771
00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: make any trades or moves in this buy a week? Thanks? Yeah?

772
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 1: What ten days you wait before the trade deadline next

773
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: Tuesday at three o'clock. I would try and trade Anthony

774
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: Brown for something me personally. If you know he's not

775
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: going to be here next year. And if you feel

776
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: good about it, and I know it goes against what

777
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: Mickey says because you need all these corners, and Mickey's

778
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: not wrong about that, but if you if, in fact,

779
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 1: if it helps Jordan Lewis get to play more, I

780
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: would think about it. But I don't think that Chris

781
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: Rashard would do that. But maybe you know, you could

782
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: go player for player. Maybe one of these teams have

783
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: given up on, you know, that second half of the season.

784
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: But a team that's given up on the second half, yeah,

785
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: isn't looking for an Anthony Brown. No, But I mean

786
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: if you're if you know, I'm trying to think a

787
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,919
Speaker 1: player for player without having to give up a pick,

788
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 1: without giving up a pick. But I think there's also

789
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: two There was there's a risk that you almost have

790
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 1: to take a gamble to get a quality player. You

791
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: have to give up something of quality. And if you're

792
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, maybe you feel like, well, if we could

793
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: get this thing turned around. You know it's four and

794
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: three when the divis maybe your picks in the late twenties.

795
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: Last year, you know that they made that a Mary

796
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: Cooper trade. That thing was in the teams. That thing

797
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: was in the top ten at one time and then

798
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: it ended up being twenty seven. And there's no wide

799
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: receiver on the board in that draft last year that went.

800
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: It was better than a Mariy Cooper. Coach Gorudon probably

801
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: thought he was getting a higher pick at the time. Yeah, yeah,

802
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: I think he got his running back out of that,

803
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, I think he got his

804
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: running back to the kid from Alabama. But what can

805
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: I get for a fourth or a fifth? Yeah, there

806
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: you go. I mean it might even take a third,

807
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: but I mean I probably a backup three technique because

808
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: Stephen Jones has been asked about this, and I think

809
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: he said something like on the fan, it's they don't

810
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: foresee like a sell the farm type deal like a Cooper, which, yea,

811
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: that that one. That's it to me, that's a generational

812
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: type trade because that was an unusual circumstance. Coach Gruden

813
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,399
Speaker 1: in Oakland, they're starting over, you know, that doesn't really

814
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: present itself too often. They don't, and this team doesn't

815
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: love parting with first round draft picks, so they don't

816
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: the thing. Look what it did though, to help your team? Yeah,

817
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: it was incredible. It's been. It turned your team team around,

818
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: it turns your quarterback around. You You helped your quarterback

819
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: immensely with that trade, you know. But it's so hard now,

820
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: especially if you're training for quality players. What Jacksonville got

821
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 1: for Ramsey makes it so hard. If you said, oh, hey,

822
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: well and I'm just throwing a name out there, if

823
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: you asked up to the Jets and asked them for

824
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, you know, we we'd heard some whispers about

825
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: oh well you know this and that. But now with

826
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 1: the with you know someone saying when we got two

827
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: ones in a got two ones into three or two

828
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 1: ns into four, that's sell the farm. Yeah, I mean,

829
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: that's that's one of those things where it makes it

830
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: hard to for a team if they want to give

831
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: up a quality player. Well, okay, let's talk about this then,

832
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: and I got we got the draft show tomorrow at three.

833
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: By the way, Tom Suskowski's our new co host on

834
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: the Oh wow, all right, so about time somebody got

835
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: them working again. Well, I got to say about some

836
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: time you get to make the show better is what

837
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: you're at myself. But but but is there is there

838
00:43:56,040 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: a position Mickey throughout there. The three technique is is that?

839
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: Is that the is that the best we can do?

840
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: You think the three technique beef inside? Yeah, I don't

841
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: disagree with him on that. And you know, and Malie

842
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 1: Collins had his probably best game. Yeah, and his contracts

843
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: up too. But I'm looking at positions where okay, what

844
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: if you lose a guy and and well, then important

845
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: a position is and where you are setting offensive tackle making.

846
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: It was gonna say it, yeah tackle didn't want to

847
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: interrupt Bill, Yeah, like we're doing now, right, But what

848
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: I got me thinking about it. It was Quinn's rib

849
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: injury the other day. It turns out it's not serious. Yeah, okay,

850
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: oh no, that's about a rusher, an extra one that

851
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: you can who who's playing because you're rotating those guys anyway, right,

852
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 1: I mean you've lost Tyrone Crawford, who was who was

853
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: gonna be an essential part of this team, Who can go,

854
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: who could play inside or outside on the defensive line.

855
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking for someone to replace Tyrone Crawford. Basically, it's

856
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: Hyder right now. Hider's the guy that play in position

857
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: on the line. It's done a nice job. The idea

858
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: was we're gonna have Carry Hyder and Tyrone Crawford, so

859
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: we still Needford. I like Mickey's three technique, though I

860
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 1: do something inside. I like more tackle, but either tackle,

861
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: offensive tackle or defensive. All right, that's the homework assignment

862
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: for tomorrow. Let's get on what's up with players play

863
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: players to acquire. In the next week, we'll talk about

864
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 1: the draft show too. There you go, all right, talk

865
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 1: you tom all. This has been a production of Dallas

866
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,919
Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
