Cavante Turpin, no helmet, no pads, 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.760 So I don't think he's going to practice today. He 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:56.760 was listed on the injury report. Mike said he would 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:59.720 start with the rehab group. 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:00.360 And it looked like. 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.360 He's not going to be limited unless he goes and 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:08.720 puts his pads on. Marquise Bell was over there also, 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.800 but he was doing the chords, but he had his 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.720 pads on, so chances are he'll do a little something. 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.320 Tyron Smith, this looked like another rest of day for him. 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.560 And if last year, last week's rest day did what 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:27.040 that did. Just put him out there right there you go, 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:32.680 And Bryant is wearing number seventeen. 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:36.680 That would be not Dez.

That's because you guys. I 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.919 didn't want to get made fun of for being there 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.520 for that. Yeah, all right, way Bill, I found my 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:35.680 play by play for that first game. I talked about it, 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:37.720 Giant the Giants game. 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.240 Need a notebook? What happened to eat a notebook like 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:41.200 I have here now? 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.240 Because then it gets filled up and then you got 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:44.200 to get another notebook. 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:46.360 I do. I'm about run out. I got a little 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:48.480 notebook for the first half of the season, and so 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:52.000 at halftime of the game on Sunday, so you switched 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:53.160 to my second notebook. 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:56.960 So you just just get you get a different legal 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.400 pad each week, and it's always on here. 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.840 Yeah, and then forget it and you start talking about 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.560 whatever you wanted to talk about and it's got it 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:07.520 right here. We got a fill time when you go 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:08.360 searching for. 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.160 It right there. 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.680 I have a six to nothing. I have a little 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.800 concern coming into action today. 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.760 Well that is nothing but game probably. 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:24.760 Well that's the thing with Everson jokingly said, who do 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:29.840 we play this week? Ah, that's my concern in this room. 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:31.920 Isn't that the way players are? 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.840 But that room over there, yes, is there a concern 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:37.599 They don't know who they're playing this week? 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.239 You just got to play the next game. 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.920 What's the what's the attitude in the they like, you know, 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.440 we were going to build on this past week. 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.520 Yeah, I mean we we got in the locker room 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.080 yesterday was in the morning, so they hadn't done anything. 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:52.120 So yeah, I. 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.760 Didn't There wasn't a lot of availability. 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.960 Feel any vibe in there. There was many players in 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.839 there either, yea. So it's it's kind of hard to 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:02.040 but just hearing. 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:06.520 Them talk even after the game. And I've actually had 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.000 the opportunity to talk with dak on Monday night at 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:12.040 an event that he was at, I get there. There's 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.440 a good positive frame of mind in that locker room 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:19.640 coming out of the Philadelphia game. They have a determination 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:21.920 that kind of like what we were talking at the 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.920 end of the show yesterday that okay, there's a confirmation. 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:27.839 Hey we're as good as that team on the other side, 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:32.520 and now it's just a matter of week to week. 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.440 Just take care of business and continue doing what you're doing, 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.080 and you're going to be there in the end. 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.800 How did McCarthy say it today? You know, we always 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:44.000 hear about keeping your house clean. Yes, I think he 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:46.640 doubled down. He said farm your own land and keep 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.120 your house clean. I hadn't heard the farm your. 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.120 Own Yeah, that was a new one. 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.719 That's why we played bad against some losing teams because 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:59.000 they don't know what the hell he's talking. That's right, 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.440 coach to raise their hand and say, what the hell 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:02.080 are you talking about? 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:03.000 Clean? 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:05.920 They didn't do that against Arizona, No. 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.760 They did not, and that You know, there's always some 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.040 games that come back to haunt you at the end 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:11.560 of the season. 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:13.239 You talk about it every year. 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:16.640 Right, there's one, right, and it's like, okay, that's gonna 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:17.960 pay a big price for that. 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.320 I think right now we're always trying to make up 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.839 for San Francisco. That's that seems to be. You know, 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:28.440 don't slip back into that frame of mind. You know, 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:32.599 no one's thinking of you know, Philadelphia. I think made 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:36.160 them say, okay, you guys, forget about san Fran. If 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:38.080 we could, if we keep playing well from here on, 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:40.479 san Fran would be in the in the in the 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.680 rearview mill, especially if they keep losing. They lost three 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:43.080 in a row. 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.400 Well, and you know what happens with that game is 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.080 it's one thing to get beat right, but to get 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:52.320 drummed is another thing. When you looked at it as Okay, 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.800 we'll see where we're at, and this team has haunted 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.000 us over the last two years, and then you lay 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:57.400 an egg. 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.080 Yeah, but when you look at the time, san Fran 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.839 was the best record wise, was the best team in 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:08.320 the NFL, and now you played against Philly record wise, 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.600 best team in the NFL. So I think they're trying 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.880 to They tried to make up for san Fran by 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:16.920 being hopefully consistent from here on. Now. 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.840 How do people feel about the Detroit Lions right now? 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.360 I think they are pretty much overlooked. 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.160 Yeah, I agree, I think they're really good. 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:27.960 I don't think they're overlooked, but I think they're really good. 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.280 No, I don't think they're really good. 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.920 No, I think they're stocked, but I think they're good. 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:35.600 Yeah, but I don't think anybody. 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.640 Everybody's got this idea, Oh that's the Detroit line. 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:39.920 I think they're thinking like that. 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.120 But I'm going to play out over the next few 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.160 weeks of how they do. I actually have to look 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:47.880 up who they are playing. 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.000 Everyone's going to be looking at our record versus days 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.080 as we approach that game, and that. 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:57.520 One is an end of December or early January. 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:58.360 It's December. 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.080 I think Lions are playing the Chargers this week. But 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:05.920 and they're six and two. Okay, Cowboys are on the 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.559 verge whether five and three right now, on the verge 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:11.880 of their sixth win if they beat the Giants on Sunday. 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:14.760 You know what happened to the Lions a couple of 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:18.120 weeks ago. A few weeks ago, they lost to Baltimore 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:23.480 thirty eight to six, and everybody's thinking still the San Francis, Yeah, exactly. 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.200 That's that's my point. Everyone feels pretty good about the 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.960 Detroit Lions and their arrow is pointed up. And yet 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.560 three weeks ago they lost to Baltimore thirty eight to seven. 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.600 That's when everyone said they are the number one team 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.679 in the NFC. Well right, and all of a sudden 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:40.680 they get blown out of like, oh, that's what they 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:42.240 tell about the Cowboys. 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:46.199 The Chargers coming up, the Bears, the Packers, and the Saints. 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.600 So those are their next three games. 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.920 Chargers, Bears, Packers, Saints for next four games. 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.000 The only thing you worried about with those games. When 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.240 I always look at the Vision games, they're always different. 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.559 You can't just say, oh, well, I reckon is this? 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:08.680 No division games and division games? So the Bears, to me, 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:11.680 that's going to be a tough game for them. What 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:12.240 do they play? 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.480 They play the Bears at home at home that. 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:24.800 Sunday game on Thanksgiving they play Green Bay Troy. The 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.840 only reason, the only reason I brought up with the 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.720 only reason I brought up with Detroit was because of 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:34.280 their thirty eight six loss to Baltimore. Okay, you just 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.160 said Chicago, it could be a tough game for them. 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:38.520 Yeah, it's a division game. 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:43.120 Chicago plays tonight. Chicago plays Carolina tonight. We have an 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:47.439 opportunity tonight to scout our next opponent, Carolina. 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:49.800 All those days between. 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.080 Look out for the Carolina Panthers. A week from Sunday. 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.480 Not to get ahead of ourselves. You got the Giants 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:57.240 and then the Panthers. 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:58.119 And they're at home. 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.280 And then they get the Cowboys at home. Should have 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:03.280 made them travel to. 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:12.680 Chicago. Has incentive to beat Carolina because because they've got 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:18.200 Carolina's first round drafting. Oh, they also have their own. 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.959 You talk about some ammunition to get. Now, Justin Fields 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:26.200 is highly questionable to play tonight. They haven't. 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.319 They have to. 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:37.640 Figure out they got the Beijing who rookie undrafted rookie. 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.800 He's no, he's been a little good for them. Yes, 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:45.119 she's been decent for them.

Yep, give me something, all right, 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:10.959 I'm giving you some more here. 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.560 Give me something Shepherd I mean, and I'm not just 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:15.680 how to spell his name, but whether. 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:19.560 Hell, I don't know what he did you know, stat 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:22.240 wise for them in the last couple of games, but 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.840 from what I did watch, Uh, the broadcast was talking 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:30.440 about how because Fields was out, they were like this 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.320 guy stepped up and he's he's actually like proven to 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:35.440 be a pretty good leader for the most part. 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:41.840 So West Virginia, that's Shepherd, wohs. A matter of fact, 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:45.640 when I googled Shepherd, five things came up before the university, 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:47.000 and one of them was pie. 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:52.400 I mean this, I have never visited a D two. 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.800 Let's see D three. 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:02.040 Well you look that up. He and there's a reason 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:07.920 that we're talking about Tyson Beigent here because and he 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:15.000 has four Chicago, as Savannah alluded to, he has appeared 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:20.240 in four games now okay, and most recently at New 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.480 Orleans he was eighteen out of thirty for two hundred 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:26.240 and twenty yards two touchdowns, but through three picks at 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:29.720 the Chargers in a loss, twenty five out of thirty seven, 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:36.240 two interceptions, no touchdowns. Okay, Vegas and Minnesota played. The 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:40.040 Cowboys are about to face a quarterback here that nobody 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:46.720 knows anything about in Tommy DeVito, right, Yeah, undrafted, but 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.800 he's got a better resume coming out of college than 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:54.199 what Beigent has out of Shepherd University because he led 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:58.000 Tommy DeVito l at Illinois to an eight and five 0:12:58.080 --> 0:12:59.040 record last year. 0:12:59.120 --> 0:12:59.600 That's right. 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.160 Illinois guys had a lot of success here recently. 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.440 I bet Beijing's Canadian. 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:12.880 And he's he was born in West Virginia and went 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.760 to high school in West Virginia. But Tommy DeVito, I 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.080 was looking at him. I didn't. Okay, we had some 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.880 fun with Tommy DeVito yesterday, but I looked, dove a 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:27.480 little deeper into his background and a Jersey guy, don't 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.679 you know. He's living a dream right now playing for 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:35.600 his hometown, home state team, the New York Giants. He's 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.520 been trained to be at quarterback since he was six 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.840 years old. If you look at his story growing up, 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.960 and he had success we talked about. He was at 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.600 don Bosco Prep, which has produced a number of NFL 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.920 players coached by former NFL He got a cup of 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:54.880 coffee in the NFL quarterback out of Rutgers Mike Teal. Okay, 0:13:55.440 --> 0:14:00.920 Mike Teal says that Tommy DeVito has the best arm 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.640 of any quarterback he has been around, and then he 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:08.320 concludes that includes NFL quarterbacks. Okay, that he's been around. 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.720 So I was right there. 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:18.079 He's a talented thrower. He he's Here's what Mike Teale 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:21.520 said about Tommy DeVito. He's as talented a thrower as 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:25.560 I've ever seen. He's up there with as good as 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:30.440 the NFL guys i've seen. This was he was his 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:31.520 high school coach. 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.240 SO Division Division two. 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:38.840 Now what you're talking about? Now you're back on Shepherd University. Okay, 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.720 get finished with with Tyson, Beijing and Shephard. Go ahead? 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:45.040 Which one was Beijing? Shepard? 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:45.600 Yes? 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:54.720 But before that they were in ai A. 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.560 Okay, we're not playing Chicago this week. 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:02.720 Before that, before that, they were in the Mason Dixon Conference. 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.360 I want to hear this, thank you. Yes, I'm with you. 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.680 I want to hear this because I just want to 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.640 know what they do. Give me something on them. 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:16.040 Thank you with their their conferences, Mountain East Conference, the mich. 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:19.640 Conference. 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:23.720 No, that was before joining the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:26.160 This is very interesting to me. Thank you. 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.480 Okay, So we're done with Tyson Bajing. Okay, that gets 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.800 you get you ready for too much? That gets you 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:36.000 ready for tonight only. The reason I brought up tonight's 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.680 game is because the Cowboys next opponent after New York 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:45.560 it's Carolina, not Chicago. Can I get back on Tommy 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:47.960 DeVito's the task at hand here, and. 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:50.320 We don't want to hear anything about four seasons anymore. 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:53.080 No, we're not. I mean, I'm serious. I'm I stayed 0:15:53.120 --> 0:16:02.120 up late last night researching back in six You know 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:10.600 what happened in sixty three, sixty years ago tomorrow? In 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:15.000 sixty three, it was relatively early November. Mike McCarthy was born. 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:19.480 His sixty third day is tomorrow. Oh, okay, all right, 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:25.000 back on Tommy DeVito. He's as talented a thrower as 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:28.200 I've ever seen, says Mike Teal, who was a star 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:32.440 quarterback at Rutgers and was drafted actually by the Seattle Seahawks, 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:34.840 and was his high school coach at Don Bosco Prep 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:40.360 in New Jersey. Okay, Tommy DeVito was under armor All American, 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:42.960 led his high school to a state championship, and they 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.280 had been down for several years before he got there. 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:51.320 Trent Dilfer, who is he was invited to the Elite 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:57.200 eleven camp. Okay, Tommy DeVito was. And Trent Dilfer runs that. 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:02.400 He says, if de Veto had played six A high 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.680 school football in Texas, he would have been a five 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.520 star recruit. He had that kind of talent. Okay, Okay. 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:12.720 Instead he was in New Jersey, Okay. He has been 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:16.879 trained by a quarterback trainer since he was six years old. 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:23.840 Has a compact throwing style. He at the Elite eleven camp, 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:28.200 he roomed with Tua and then he performed so well 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:32.160 there he got invited to the opening up in Portland, 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:36.120 a Nike deal, and so he was highly touted coming 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.679 out of high school and wound up had several offers 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:43.040 and wound up going to Syracuse and actually started in 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:47.760 twenty nineteen at Syracughes and then he wound up transferring 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:49.560 to Illinois and led them to an eight and five 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.520 record last year. He has six one, two hundred and 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:55.480 ten pounds and when you look at him, he could 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:58.440 run around a little bit. And when you look at him, 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.840 he reminds me a little bit to Brock Purty. He's 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.280 the same size as Brock Purty, six one two ten. 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:08.080 Ok Now, the question will be he doesn't have the 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:11.480 team around him that Brock Purdy has around him. But 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:15.320 the question will be, also can he process like Purdy has? 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:18.159 But he's he's got a number of snaps in college 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:25.800 underneath his belt, you know, And so. 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:24.200 Sounds like he's Tony Romo. 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:26.800 Well, and that's the other thing. Look at the guys 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.840 in not only Cowboys history but around the NFL. Who 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:34.120 he's in Tony. Remember when Romo was in camp, who 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:37.720 was ahead of him on the depth chart? You know? Three, 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:39.080 you had Quincy still. 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.760 Here, Oh it was the baseball player. 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:47.360 Then Chad Hutchinson, No, the Drew Henson. 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.199 Henson, okay, he was in that. 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:52.240 He was buying him for a little bit. And then 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.560 you brought Bledsoe in and you had Vinnie in here, 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:58.119 and all along, the best quarterback in camp was probably 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:00.879 Romo during those three years. You know, he finally got 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:02.399 an opportunity his fourth year. 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:03.360 In two thousand and four. 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:08.240 If Quincy Carter doesn't get cut, Romo gets cut, right, 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:10.680 because they brought in Testa Verity to beat a backup 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:13.480 to Quincy. And then they had just made that trade 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:16.280 to get Henson in here, and they paid him some money, 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:20.800 so he was gonna make it and then Romo. 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:24.520 And Romo is a guy who had a lot of 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:25.879 snaps in college. 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:30.680 Played four full seasons Easter in Illinois and was the 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:34.680 Walter Payton Award winner YEP for the best division one 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:35.159 double A. 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:36.560 It was so white. 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:41.240 So where the Giants are right now with Daniel Jones 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:44.600 going out for the year, Tyrod Taylor uninjured reserve, now 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:46.840 they get to take a look at Tommy DeVito and 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:50.160 they're hoping Tommy DeVito winds up being there, Tony Romo 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:52.000 or their Brock Purty, well. 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:56.159 Party fewer mistakes by party. You know, even throughout his 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:59.840 early career, he just didn't He didn't have the propensity to. 0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:05.199 Throw until until Deebo got hurt and he didn't have 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:09.360 Trent Williams and again Cincinnati the and then and. 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:10.920 Then they had to play from behind. 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:14.680 And they had to play with lesser talented players, because 0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:16.800 that's what he's dealing with. So you put receiver right now, 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:18.280 lesser talented play right. 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:20.800 So a year ago, at this time, what do we 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:23.639 know about brock Purty Outside he was he had a 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:26.040 nice career at Iowa State, and he was the last 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:28.120 pick in the draft and he hadn't got an opportunity 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:30.160 to yet in San Francisco. And then he gets put 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:34.119 on a great team and doesn't make mistakes. But if 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:37.760 you put Rock Purty on this Giant's team, he's not 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:39.560 going to be brock Purdy, he's not, no. 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:42.600 Not and that that show when we finally found his 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:45.679 weakness as far as playing from behind, that's something that 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:48.240 he seems to have a problem with. And you know 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:50.760 everyone's got the achilles heell, that seems to be his. 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:53.959 But I'm waiting to see what the vitos. Yeah. Uh. 0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:57.320 The point of all this is the Cowboys got to 0:20:57.359 --> 0:21:00.720 be ready to play because tell me, Doto could be 0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:01.480 their brock Birdy. 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:04.920 If you cover those wide receivers, you can throw them, 0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:06.159 He can throw them to the way he wants to 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:09.000 throw them. If you're if you're pasted to that wide receiver, 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:12.760 then it's yours. So I'm never really worried necessarily about 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:15.959 the quarterback himself. You have to worry about the wide receiver. 0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:19.399 If you're a cornerback or a dB linebacker, you know, 0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:23.040 cover your man. Any quarterback right now can hit an 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:26.320 open receiver. That's just that's that's the way it is. 0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:28.800 You let Dobbs come in, you let him hit an 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:31.679 open receiver, you're gonna have problems. You don't stop the 0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:34.040 run so the doves won't be under so much pressure, 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:36.679 then you're gonna lose. You're gonna have those problems. 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:39.000 You don't, and you don't think the Giants aren't looking 0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:42.959 at that Cardinal's tape to see, Okay, how did Dobbs 0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:46.600 have success? That's why this guy can run something. 0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:50.199 No one really, I wouldn't say, cared about dob but 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:52.600 you weren't thinking of him as that person that we 0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:55.000 think of him now, you know, the person that came 0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:56.920
