35
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: seem to be moving this way. That's sure headed towards Florida. Okay,

36
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: we got the weather report. Good there, that was my nugget.

37
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: That was your negga for the day. You know, it'll

38
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: be interested to see how we how things play out

39
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: with the David Irvin situation. Yeah, will he be back

40
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: in action. Uh, you know, we'll see how that all

41
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: plays out. Hopefully he's got all his off the field

42
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: stuff with his family taken care of, and that the

43
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys can now focus in on having him play really

44
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: the next ten weeks. You know, I mean it, you

45
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: had to endure a suspension, you did that. Uh. You know,

46
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: this guy is an incredible player. And I think one day,

47
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: when Mickey Spagnola writes a book about all this, one

48
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: of these chapters will be about players that had this

49
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: tremendous potential and you only saw him for only just

50
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: a bit of a glimpse of you know, and I

51
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: think David Irvan is one of those guys. This team

52
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: has a great history of players that have come through

53
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: and then you wonder why what happened? How did that?

54
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: How did that happen? And uh, you know, the David

55
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: Irvan in a contract situation, don't kind of feel don't

56
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: really feel like that when we get the offseason talk

57
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: that David Irvin is going to be in the mix

58
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: for hey have to have this guy, So can you

59
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: capture something from him in you know, in ten games basically?

60
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: You know, So that's always an interesting angle to me.

61
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm interested about Malie Collins coming back. Want to see

62
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: what's going to happen with that defensive tackle rotation if

63
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: he could get back to it, because I talked about

64
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: it yesterday. Really felt like that the defensive tackles being

65
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: under manned played very well in that football game against

66
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: the Texans. They're gonna have some decisions they're gonna have

67
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 1: to make about that. And you know, will we now

68
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: start to see Bryce Butler. I know I'll call for this.

69
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: I'll call for somebody that can extend. I will call

70
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: for somebody that's a big body that will go get

71
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: the football. I might have to live with all the

72
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: knucklehead plays that you might get from him or things

73
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: that happen in the game, but give me an opportunity

74
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: to get a guy that and I when we get

75
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: into the Jaguars, I believe I'm gonna tell you about

76
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: that this secondary is one of the best you're gonna

77
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: play and they're gonna they're gonna contest every ball you throw,

78
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: and so you need people that are going to be

79
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: able to extend, have guys on their backs, but make plays.

80
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: And that's what's gonna be one of those keys for

81
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: this football game. I've called for that too on Monday.

82
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm also the guy. I'm not saying he's

83
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: the savior, right, I'm just saying maybe something a little different. Yeah,

84
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: And I'm also the guy that said been saying for

85
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: weeks I think a couple of us have, you know,

86
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: pare down this rotation. Well, maybe it's time to look

87
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: at something different too. And he's a guy that has

88
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: made plays, not always consistently. That's a big that's a big,

89
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: big question question, and that's and that's consistency. He's been

90
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: a part of this offense that they have to find. Yeah,

91
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: but he's a big white out three be the biggest

92
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: receiver they have on the team. That's another option. That's

93
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: a guy that Dak has played with and has had

94
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: success with. That's one option. But again, I mean, you

95
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: go back and watch the game the other night, it's

96
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: kind of like the other two road losses. You can't

97
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: look at the receivers and say, oh, it's all their

98
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: fault or not. It's been a it's absolutely like a

99
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: but it's been everything at some point in time during

100
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: out during one of these losses. Yeah, yeah, you know,

101
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: they almost paired it down with the wide receivers. This

102
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: last game. I was a little surprised when I saw this.

103
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: The majority of the snaps went to Gallop in Hearns.

104
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: Gallop had forty snaps, Hearns had forty seven, Beasley had

105
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: thirty eight, and Thompson was down to twenty nine and

106
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin had seven. I'm sorry that was the Detroit game.

107
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: Let me go back. Hearns had thirty eight snaps, Thompson

108
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: thirty six, Butler had one snap. That was the Hail Mary.

109
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: At the end, Gallop only had twenty, so he went

110
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: from forty snaps against Detroit to twenty four. Yeah he's

111
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: got a play. Yeah, you're here for more Bryce Butler,

112
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: Mick No, he's here from Okay, he's here for more Gallop. Which, yeah,

113
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: you're run on Gap, get me gallup, Herns and and Beasley.

114
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: I think you just get him out there. Yeah. I

115
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: think you see Herns a lot more because they use

116
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: him in twelve personnel stuff too, used Terrence Williams role.

117
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: So you know, if I'm with Mickey on on on Gallop,

118
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: you know I'm the selfish side of me wants to

119
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: see him succeed. I mean, I just want to give

120
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott the best opportunity he can to have some success.

121
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: I think that we've I think people out there have

122
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: been overly critical of Dak Prescott, you know, and I

123
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: you know, I maybe it's the people that were laying

124
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: in the weeds, you know, that had to bite their

125
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: tongues a little bit when he came on the scene

126
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: and beloved Tony Romo. And again, I'm not making fun

127
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: of Tony Romo. I'm just saying though there was a

128
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: change there. The organization made a change. They moved on

129
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: from Tony. But you know, I think you have to

130
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: give this quarterback every opportunity that you can for him

131
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: to succeed. It starts with protection, it starts with a

132
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: running game, and it really starts with you know what

133
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: they're able to do passing the game on the outside.

134
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: If he throws a ball that's a tight window throw,

135
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: these guys have got to come up with it for

136
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: you know, and they're not going to come up with

137
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: all of them because these defensive backs are good in

138
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: this league. And again you're about to play a group

139
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: that's really good in the secondary. So anything that you

140
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: can do to help him along the way it just

141
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: feel it's unfortunate that the you know, I watched those

142
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: press conferences every after every game, and there's only one

143
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: man that stands up there and takes all the arrows,

144
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: you know, and and he stands there and then he

145
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: walks off, and he thanks everybody, and he moves on

146
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: and he tries to, you know, pull things together. But

147
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: that's the responsibility of the quarterback here. I just don't

148
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: think his fans and his writers were really fair to

149
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: him as much as we need to be. You came

150
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: in here passionate about that this mon I am. I mean,

151
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: I'm tired. I'm tired of I'm tired of fans not

152
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: believing that if you that he is not Brady, he

153
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: is not Manning, He's not these guys the past. He's

154
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: not one of those guys. But if you, if you,

155
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: I would challenge I would challenge any other quarterback other

156
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: than those guys I mentioned to come in or and

157
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: have success with some of the things that are currently

158
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: happening to this offense. I was asked the other day,

159
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: who do you think is a better quarterback, Blake Bortles

160
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: or or Dak Prescott. I think Dak Prescott could actually

161
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: succeed in what's going on in in Jacksonville as a

162
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: opposed of Blake Bortles coming in here and having success. So,

163
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm a little I'm a little bit

164
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: tired of the narrative that people are just totally blaming

165
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: him for everything and calling him, you know, you know,

166
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: a bag of you know what I just am. I

167
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: just feel like though that you know, there are some

168
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: things that he has, there's some things that he is

169
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: not good at. It's absolutely the truth, but they're things.

170
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he laid it out on the line for

171
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: you last week. He did he did everything he could

172
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: to try and win that football game. Spinning out of pressure,

173
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: what doing I mean, Yeah, he is not a perfect quarterback,

174
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: but you know what, if given the opportunity and given

175
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: the weapons around him and giving him the level of play.

176
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: You know, we talk about this offensive line, hang your

177
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: hat on it, it hadn't been a hang your hat

178
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: on an offensive line, Ezeki Olio. The running game got

179
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: shot down last week. You know that's something that can't

180
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: happen when you're a run heavy based team. You know,

181
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: I wrote about it yesterday. I asked, I asked Jason

182
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: Garrett about it. He pointed out the stat unsolicited. Zeke

183
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: had twenty carries in the game, and nine of them

184
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: went for zero or minus. It goes to Mickey's point,

185
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: but he tried to make the other day and he

186
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: was getting hit in the backfield like he did on

187
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: third and one one, the big the you know, the

188
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: big third and one in question. And then he Garrett

189
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: also point out, and he's not putting all the blame

190
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, but he said, the three worst

191
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: games we played up front have been on the road.

192
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: Communication factors have been a problem. Yeah, And and you know,

193
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: and Garrett will point out it's on coaches, it's on players,

194
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: on everybody offensively, right, But you do have to look

195
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 1: up front because I'm the one that said in July,

196
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna make the playoffs because they drafted Connor Williams.

197
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: They're they're healthy, they're gonna get the development of Lyle

198
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: Collins explaining right tackle. They're gonna saw in Oakland him

199
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: blocking Khalil Mack. Yeah, they're gonna get back to doing

200
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: what they do best. Yeah, and we saw it against

201
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: Detroit and a little against the Giants, but we haven't

202
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: seen it consistently, certainly not. They're two and three. So

203
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: the new darling quarterback in the league is who Baker Mayfield?

204
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: Pat mahomes at homes Yeah, watching that film, yes, sir,

205
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: Kansas City. By the way, Mayfield Good Mayfield and UH

206
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: and Dak have the exact same quarterback rating. But which which, guys?

207
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: Everybody you know, the favorite? So let's see. But there's

208
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: there's no I think the expectations the bar is a

209
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: little lower. Yeah, we're talking to first pick in the draft. No, No,

210
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: you're right, right, right, you're right right, you're right. But

211
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: any anything in Cleveland is it's great. There's still whole Cleveland,

212
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: it's the whole country. Baker Mayfield's the new you know,

213
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: the new flavor of the year. He's Johnny without all

214
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: the baggage, and honestly, you know, and it looks like

215
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: he's played well. But his quarterback rating is eighty one

216
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: point four, right, exactly the same as Dak. So I

217
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: don't know if anybody's making excuses for him. He's only

218
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: got three touchdown passes, he has three interception, Dak has five.

219
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: He's got four deflected passes for interceptions. Yeah, so I

220
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: just think we and I appreciate your point, man, here's

221
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: my My other point is that no one changes their

222
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 1: minds on quarterbacks unless they win a Super Bowl. It's

223
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: like the people that didn't like Tony Romo continued to

224
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: dislike Tony Romo even though he rewrote the record book

225
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: for quarterbacks for the Dallas Cowboys, which has two in

226
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame. No one changes their minds.

227
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: So the people that were not in favor of Dak

228
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: taken over for Tony now feel like they have a

229
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: platform to get louder and louder and louder because things

230
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: aren't going as well as they did in twenty sixteen

231
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: and the first eight games of twenty seventeen. And my opinion,

232
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: and you've guys have heard me say this about quarterbacks.

233
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks are like presidents. No one changes their mind on

234
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: who they liked and who they didn't unless the guy

235
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: does something to get impeached. They will defend him to

236
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: the end of the earth, no matter what's happening. And

237
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: it's the same thing with quarterbacks. I kind of agree

238
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: with that. I mean, I'm seeing I do the mail

239
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: bag every morning, and quite frankly, on weeks like this,

240
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: it scares me to open it up better you than me,

241
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: and I did it for ten years. I'm getting yeah,

242
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: mixed mails, bad idea that those were rough at times. Um,

243
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: I get a lot of messages for you know, Brian

244
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: and I to answer in the morning that fans that say, look,

245
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: I love Dak as a leader. He's got a lot

246
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: of great intangibles. He does a lot of things well

247
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: on the field. But you know, there's limitations and there's

248
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: also I think general just dissatisfaction with the offense in general,

249
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: and it goes to the coaching staff and then the quarterbacks,

250
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: the guy that has the ball in his hands every time.

251
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: And so I get the overall frustration. But if you

252
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: go back and watch this game last Sunday, Dak Prescott

253
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: was not the main issue here. No, he was. He

254
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: was running for his life a lot. Uh. He had

255
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: to make a lot of throws where he really wasn't set. Um,

256
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't perfect by him. He's miss throws. You know, Aikman,

257
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: I trust Troy Aikman's opinion on quarterback play much as anybody.

258
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: He talked about accuracy, anticipation right the other day on

259
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: local radio, Dax's got to get better in those areas.

260
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: He knows that, right, But he's proven that if he

261
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: has help, he can win games in this league. And

262
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what what's wrong with saying that a

263
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: quarterback needs help. Yeah, because you you listed Brian like

264
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: three or four guys that are probably all going to

265
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame one day. Sure, maybe

266
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: they can get it done without a lot of help,

267
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: but ninety percent of the quarterbacks in this league need

268
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: a nice cast around them. There's nothing wrong with that.

269
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: You would be hard pressed, like I said, to put

270
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks in this in this offense what's going on

271
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: right now and have success. He really would just with

272
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: you know, the inconsistencies with the line and what they've had,

273
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: you know, I think I think that's been the biggest

274
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: the the I wasn't shocked about the committee part of it,

275
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: because I think we've discussed about having that guy you

276
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: can hang your hat on. I think the biggest shock

277
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: to me has been that that the offensive line has

278
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: not The bar is so high for those guys. You know,

279
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: when when Tyron Smith just plays well, you know that

280
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: that would be you know, they would kill to have

281
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith in a New York. The Giants, they would

282
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: kill to have him just playing at the level he's

283
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: playing right now. They just cut one of their tackles,

284
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: they fire their starter exactly. That's what I'm saying this.

285
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: You You sometimes you get to a level with with

286
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: these players, what we've seen with the line, and you're

287
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: just so used to such a high level of play,

288
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: and then things don't work out, and people like, should

289
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: we worried about Smith? I go, We've talked about this

290
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: really all year. This is not something new, but the

291
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: bar is so high, and maybe the bar is so

292
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: high for Dak and what he did for his rookie season,

293
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, offensive rookie of the Year, winning thirteen games,

294
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: going toe to toe twice in the season with h

295
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers, winning a game in Hines Field, winning

296
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: a game at lambeau Field in Kansas City. Yeah, beating

297
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City, I mean last year. Yeah, there's there's things

298
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: about this guy, and you're right, I think both you're

299
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: right if you find ways to help him, you know,

300
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: And it's I don't want to say it's just as

301
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: easy as to say play to his strengths, but these

302
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: quarterbacks do need help. There are very few that are rare.

303
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers looks like to me, he doesn't need a

304
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: whole lot of help. He hasn't had a lot of

305
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: help front for a couple of years. That's a rare

306
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: football players. And he's gotten injured because of it too.

307
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: He has gotten hurt because of that. Yeah, absolutely right.

308
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: So you know to me to say to sit there

309
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: and wonder why there's so much hate for dak if you,

310
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: if you you should try and understand what his limitations are,

311
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: not attack him as the player. You should say, Okay,

312
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: the anticipation needs to be better, right, you know, the

313
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: the accuracy needs to be better. You know, look at

314
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: the Look at the difference with and blank Bordles playing

315
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: with Leonard Fournette yea and without four net absolutely just

316
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: go look at it. And their defense has played well

317
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: except for this last game. He doesn't have a running game.

318
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 1: The Cowboys will not win if Zeke finishes a game

319
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 1: with fifty four yards. That's that's that's just He's absolutely right,

320
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: write it down. Yeah, and this team is built to

321
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 1: do that, right, that's what that's the problem. And if

322
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: you're saying, okay, yeah, we have to sling this thing around.

323
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: Mickey's right, you're gonna take an l you know, bortles

324
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: through the ball sixty one times against Kansas City. That's

325
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: a problem. He's the reason why you might have a

326
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: chance in this game, you know, and the rough games

327
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: and people, and that was a first overall pick. Yep,

328
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 1: you know that. And you think about that that that

329
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: top top three, right is the top three number one

330
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: was right there? Three? Okay, you're right, yeah, I mean

331
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: he but that was a top pick, right though, doubt

332
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: so to me. You know, look for answers, but don't

333
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: don't have to say, oh, it's this, it's this, it's

334
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: this guy. You know. Yeah, the pitchforks come out after

335
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: a loss, the pitchfork. A lot of kids are looking

336
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: for one guy to blame, and a lot of times,

337
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,479
Speaker 1: as Garrett, and sometimes I feel like I feel like

338
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: it's the folks that were waiting in the weeds after

339
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: a Romo that they had to kind of go away

340
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: because Dak was having some success now all of a sudden,

341
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: it's rest revisionist history, you know. And trust me, I

342
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: always say this. I was on the staff that brought

343
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: Tony Romo here. I thank you know, jim Hess Jim Garrett,

344
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, Bill Parcels, thank you guys for what you

345
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: did to bring as Tony Romo. You guys deserve a

346
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: lot of credit for that. But you you've got to

347
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: move on. You've got to move on from this and

348
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: trying to bring back you know, trying to bring him

349
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: back is not going to fix your problems for today, right.

350
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: You know, the general manager needs to look at himself

351
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: and say, Okay, have I helped this head coach? Have

352
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: I helped this head coach with enough to win? You know,

353
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: obviously he feels like he has because he said, well,

354
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: I see DAK being a long term in his mind,

355
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: Jerry said. Yesterday he said, Jerry said he felt like

356
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: the DAK right or wrong. That's the general managers the thought.

357
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: So we'll see. But you know, as a general manager,

358
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: he also needs to think about did I make the

359
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: right decision at receiver? Did did we adequately staff? What's

360
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: going on at at at tight end? And it's my

361
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: offensive line really playing to the level that I thought

362
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: they would see and I and I'm tired of hearing,

363
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: especially on not going for fourth and one. You've got

364
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: the best offensive line in the NFL. And you don't

365
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: want to run behind him. Well, let's can that for

366
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: a while, okay, because it's not the best offensive line

367
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. You don't want to not

368
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: playing to that level right now? Yeah, And that's fair,

369
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: you know. And and God bless Joe Looney, he's not

370
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,479
Speaker 1: Travis Frederick. He is not Sorry, he's playing well for

371
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: Joe Looney. Yeah, but he's not Travis Frederick. And you

372
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: only have two guys out there right now that are

373
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: Pro Bowlers. You don't have three. And and Lele Collins

374
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: was not playing to the level that he was at

375
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: the end of last year. So you know this idea

376
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: that well, that's your bread and butter, this offensive line.

377
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: Watch the game, yeah, watch it. Just trying to figure

378
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: out You got to try and figure out what what

379
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: clues you have. You have to try and figure things out. Sure,

380
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm not I don't think any of

381
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: us here in this room right now or are giving

382
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback a pass. But I'm all we get accused

383
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: of that, by the way, And I think that's that's

384
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: what upsets me is I don't mind. I don't mind

385
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: answering folks questions. I really don't that's my job. But

386
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: also I ask you just to give it some thought.

387
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: Give it some thought. If you feel like, hey, that

388
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: that's the only avenue, then I can't help you. I'm sorry.

389
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: Mickey's right, you voted for a president. I can't change

390
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: your mind. And in some degree they went the route

391
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: they did at wide receiver. And I think even Stephen

392
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: Jones said this on the fan this week. It's like,

393
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: we're into the season now, Yeah, it is what it is.

394
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna try to do the best of what we

395
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: can right with it. They're not saying they made a mistake,

396
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: but that's where they are. And it's not one fix.

397
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: And that's a problem when it's not just one thing

398
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: with an offense, you know, the dealing with right now,

399
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: Look what this team did last last year during the

400
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: off season, they went out and they realized that Mickey

401
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: was screaming that they needed better left guard. He was

402
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: absolutely right. What they do they spent resources. They already

403
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: had three Pro Bowl players. But what they do They

404
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: took the fiftieth overall pick and went for a guard,

405
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: and they could have traded that pick for an All

406
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: Pro safety, which they didn't do. They thought it was

407
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: important enough to try and fix or help the offensive line.

408
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: So they went and got a guard to shore that up.

409
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: What's been the narrative all through the long boy, I

410
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: loved I love Sean Lee. I love Sean Lee. I

411
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: love Sean Lee. I love Sean Lee. But Shan Lee's

412
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: always hurt. I can't love Sean Lee when he's always hurt.

413
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: What they do They go out and get Layton vander Esh.

414
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: You know where they could have got a receiver. They

415
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 1: made a decision that, you know what, it was more

416
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: important to them to go out and get a guy

417
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: that could play when Sean Lee wasn't available. And it

418
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: might be that Laton Vanderish. He might be the guy that,

419
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: you know, god willing just goes on and has his

420
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: tremendous career, a reliable sixteen out of sixteen game career.

421
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: They made a big push, They made a gutsy move

422
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: to go get Jalen Smith. That looks like it's helped

423
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: him as well. So I mean, there's ways to they

424
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: What I'm trying to say is I think they're gonna

425
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: look at things and say, you know what, we didn't

426
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: do this very well. We didn't do this very well.

427
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: And we need to address those things. They prove they

428
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: can do that, just need to do it. It's like

429
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: you said, it's in the season. It's a little bit

430
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: harder to do it all right now. That's why maybe

431
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: you need to try and find a way to get

432
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: Bryce Butler involved. Maybe it means, hey, Jeff Swain looks

433
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: like a pretty darn good option throwing the ball down

434
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: the field. To get him more involved some way you can. Yeah,

435
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: those are the things you have to do. You remember

436
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 1: last word for break, Mick. You remember when I got

437
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: sick and tired of me And I think it started

438
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 1: with the media. First, the narrative about Dak friendly. Yeah,

439
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: you love that. Hell is Dax's friendly? Now, Yeah, that's

440
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: all I'm gonna say. Oh, it is your Dak friendly.

441
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: That's all they talked about in the off seat. Well,

442
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: we've gotta be more Dak friendly. Well, Dak friendly was

443
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: getting Zeke on the field and protecting him better than

444
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: they did the last eight games of the season. And

445
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: that's and I'll say this before we go to break

446
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: the sensible fans that are frustrating that there are fans

447
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: out there that they're just yeah, it's not everybody but

448
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: it's just there's overall frustration going back to last eight

449
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: games of twenty seventeen and it's carry over into this year,

450
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: and how do we fix it? And and look, they're

451
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: gonna have to We're gonna get into this after the

452
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: break and in the final couple segments, how do they

453
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: manufacture drives yards points against this quality of the defense?

454
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: So let's get to that next when we come back

455
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:59,160

513
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: Did you guys enjoy it? You guys got sandwiches on

514
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,400

516
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: about Philly Philly, like Philly cheesteaks, steak sandwich. Yeah, it

517
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: was hot, we got it. It was in tinfoil. It

518
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: was too hot. I saved it until I got home

519
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: at like three. It just wolfed it down, wolfed it

520
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: down at like three to thirty in the morning. It

521
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: was the best late early dinner breakfast ever. Man finished

522
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: my work, so I kept it going. I have to admit.

523
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: On the way there, they right at the end they

524
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: handed us out chicken sandwiches, right, and I wasn't hungry,

525
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: And I said, you know what lunch tomorrow? Oh god, okay, okay, okay.

526
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: It was so hot I couldn't need it. Yeah, I

527
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: felt like an old miser sometimes sometimes though, and I'm

528
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: not again, those those meals on the way home. I

529
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: remember him being like, I really don't want that. I

530
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: would rather those sandwiches. Yeah, I'll take any of it.

531
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: I think it's great sandwich, which I'm not trying to complain.

532
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: Trust me, folks, Hey, listen, you're talking to guys. Lived

533
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: a lot of life on airplanes. I appreciate the food

534
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: on the charters, but there's sometimes where you just go.

535
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: It just never sounded great. All I know is his

536
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: light was so short. Yeah that just before we took

537
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: off the Missouri South Carolina game got delayed by lightning

538
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: and he got we landed, it hadn't resumed. That's why

539
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: you aren't hungry. Can't tell a real quick story, Mickey.

540
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: Do you still do your thing when you Mickey is

541
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: the only guy know that could find a college football

542
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: game without internet at thirty eight thousand feet. Mickey can

543
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: hold he had this radio. You still that radio, that

544
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: little h m MP three player. Mickey could get scores

545
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: from around the country. He would hold the antenna against

546
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: the window and over his head. He just he'd hold

547
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: it up a little. He hold it up against the window.

548
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: He'd movement behind his head, losing broad as. I'm like, ah,

549
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: it would pick up radio stations as we as we went. Yeah,

550
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how he did. He's the only one

551
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: that could get scores on those on those Saturday road

552
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: trip still works. I just don't don't anymore because we

553
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: get which we get Wi Fi on the plane. That's

554
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: too bad, because that's yeah, watching you do that, watch

555
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: it's it's yeah scoring. You see Gort and he's standing up.

556
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: Somebody's got a be ap wire. That's right, ap wire,

557
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: very important. All right, let's uh, let's get to the phones. Here,

558
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: go to the first phone call of the day. Matthew

559
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: in Iowa. You're up first on Talking Cowboys. Man, I

560
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: don't even know where to start this week. It's uh,

561
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: um and Barnet. There's just so many things all on UM.

562
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: I know you guys are you know? There was a

563
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: nice segue because I was going to kind of lead

564
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: into the fact that everybody wants to blame these wide receivers,

565
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: and after watching the twenty two, you know there's times

566
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: where they're not doing a job. There was a blitz

567
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: where nobody reacted, nobody kept their route off and Dac

568
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: was left to hug Um, you know. But there was

569
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: also another blitz where you know it was I think

570
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: it was a pass where Dak threw its way over

571
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: Colby Very's head hind two or three options on the

572
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: right side where the safety and the linebacker had blissed

573
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: and completely vacated the area. So, yep, it's just a mess.

574
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: And so my question to you, Brian is We've had

575
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: several quarterbacks coming through this offensive system that Garrett Is installed,

576
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: Matt Castle, Tony Romo, John Kittner, but Tony's really been

577
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: the only one that's been successful in it. At what

578
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: point do we have to start looking at the system? Well, yeah,

579
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: you want to lump those guys in. I mean, you know,

580
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: Kittna had a solid career as mostly a backup. Castle

581
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: was at the end of his rope pretty much these days.

582
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: By the way, Yeah, I think back in Detroit right

583
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: now is what he's doing. And I'm not trying to

584
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: say these guys around the same level as Dak, but

585
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: it just seems like Tony is the only one that

586
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: could ever figure it out and use this offense to

587
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: to you know, do great things. It just seems like

588
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who we throw in there. There's there's just

589
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: a struggle with the quarterback position, unless unless it was

590
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: Tony And I don't know if that happens to again,

591
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: did that have to do with the offense? Maybe? Yeah,

592
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: Well you've only had how many I mean, how many

593
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: actual quote unquote starting quarterbacks have they had? They've had

594
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: two quarterback and I tell you, I wish he had

595
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: in a quick because I I really thought, even though

596
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: that that that end of the season game didn't go

597
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: well his way. I thought he played very very well

598
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: and I who who Kyle Orton? Oh till he didn't

599
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: want to play anymore. I know. That's what's so disappointing

600
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: about it. He seemed like he was finally making progress

601
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: in this offense and and then he decided to quit.

602
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: And ever since, it just seems like, you know, put

603
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: Kitten in there as well. But you know, looking at everything,

604
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: and I think it's I think you're making too big

605
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: of a broad brush on all that it's possible. I

606
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: mean we're talking backup quarterbacks that you know, they were

607
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: at the end of their careers. Kitten, it wasn't bad, No,

608
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: KIDDA did a pretty good job. I mean, he's right

609
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: of the ship was five and three with him. It's

610
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: it's a home I believe if I remember right, Let

611
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: me ask you can I ask everybody a question here?

612
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: Do we feel like that maybe Romo was Maybe Romo's

613
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: the anticipation, the smarts, intelligence, reading, defense, all that, you know,

614
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: maybe that you know there's things that I'm sure And

615
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: I've asked Sean Payton this question about Drew Brees, you know,

616
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: and I like, how's it to work with a guy

617
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: that's that sharp on the field? He says, it makes

618
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: up for a lot of mistakes that I make. You know,

619
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: so sometimes you get quarterbacks that are very comfortable playing. Okay,

620
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna give me a system, but I'm gonna figure

621
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: out ways to manipulate it. I think I think Tom

622
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: Moore said it about Peyton Manning. I'm naming great quarterbacks here,

623
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: by the way, you know, I'm naming guys that are

624
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks. But Tom Moore would say I would send

625
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: in a play, and Tom Moore even said it a

626
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: little bit about it. He did some work with the

627
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner. You know, you send in a play and

628
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, it's my play turns into

629
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: another play, which makes it Oh okay, I see what

630
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: you just did there. So sometimes you get a partnership

631
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: where the offensive coordinator calls a play, you get a

632
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: quarterback that's so intelligent in Okay, i'm gonna read the defense.

633
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: Let's cover two. Okay, I need I'm gonna get a

634
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: blitz him over here. Okay, I'm gonna throw it right here.

635
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: I think that's where Tony did a really great job

636
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: of manipulating the system you know that he had, And

637
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: so I think there's I think there's some merit too

638
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: of Hey, you know you have a system, but you

639
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: got a guy that can expand this system. You need

640
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: to change the system for Dak. Maybe Dak does what happened?

641
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: Did you have the same opinion in twenty sixteen, You know,

642
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: I thought Zeke took over. I thought it was that

643
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: whole the whole season was predicated on the offensive line

644
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: and Zeke, and I didn't think Dak. I still don't

645
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 1: think Dak is a natural passer. That's just my opinion.

646
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: I think he passed the ball too much. He doesn't

647
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: have a very quick release, and I think that's what

648
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: gets him in trouble. Especially on the balls that are

649
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: tipped up. It's not because it's not because the wide

650
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: receivers not necessarily driving enough back to the ball. It's

651
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: the ball has been you know, let loose late in

652
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: his break and he gives a cornerback that opportunity to

653
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: get that hand in there. And I like the past

654
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: that Michael Gallup just flat dropped into an interception. No,

655
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: this was the first interception, I believe, the very first

656
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: one that was low. But it was again Dak almost

657
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: took an extra step, had at the ball and then

658
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: used his whole body the where you sit in there,

659
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: where you almost knee when you finished that third step.

660
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: You gotta snap that ball off before. So that stuff breaking,

661
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: and that stuff didn't happen in twenty sixteen. In the

662
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: first eight games of twenty seventeen, he just had he

663
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: just has happy feet. Now, Well, how come like the

664
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: off season, all of a sudden he developed happy feet?

665
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: Why is he got happy feet in it? Why is

666
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: he half happy feet? I said? The offensive line is

667
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: definitely all right, all right, we're getting better now. You

668
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 1: still have you know, he had time in this game

669
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: last week times and sometimes he doesn't understand that you

670
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: can drop the ball in between the safety and and uh,

671
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 1: that's difference. He goes off to swing for a three

672
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: yard game, which I thought some notes here. I mean

673
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: Eavy was open about three or four times. Sure, And

674
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 1: I want to come back to the very last play

675
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: last week before the end of regulation. You have four seconds,

676
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: the defense is playing fifteen yards off your wide receiver. Yeah,

677
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: why not just immediately pitch it to a wide receiver,

678
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: get five yard six yards to get it to the

679
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: forty four and give your kicker a chance with one

680
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: second left. I think I can take the sixty five

681
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 1: yard field goal when I give them an opportunity. Yeah,

682
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 1: I didn't, you know. I went back and watched that too,

683
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: and I from the TV copy, I thought, just sitting there,

684
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: I thought, Okay, why wouldn't they just throw the quick

685
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: out and do what Parcels did against the Giants that

686
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: time and go Billy and Billy kind of try the

687
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: fifty something yard field goal. But it looked like to me,

688
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: with with only ten seconds left, it wasn't you know,

689
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't going to happen fast enough for them to

690
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: be able to pull it off. So yeah, I understand,

691
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: I understand the frustration, and I you know, the thing

692
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: about the quarterback is, you know, we're I think you're

693
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: trying to make Dak Prescott into Tony Romo when it

694
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: comes to what's going on between his ears. And I

695
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: mean well, and I mean that, I mean that in

696
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 1: no disrespect to Dak, because I think that they're they're

697
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: two totally different quarterbacks. And you know what, they're not

698
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: running the same offensive system, right it wasn't they get

699
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of that in the game the other

700
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: night too. There's things you can do. There's things you

701
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: can do with Tony clearly throwing the ball down the

702
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: field and manipulate offense, manipulate the defense that you can't

703
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: do with Dak. And you know, we all need to

704
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: realize that, you know, the anticipation, the smarts, they just

705
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: the savvy. I think they're both extremely tough. I think

706
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: Tony's you could be a very accurate quarterback. I don't

707
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: think Dad could be particularly accurate, but you know he is.

708
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: You know, in this day and age, maybe it's not

709
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: the best way to play football, but they've decided until

710
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: somebody else comes in here, if that's the case, if

711
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: that happens, that they're going to play football by trying

712
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: to be physical upfront and run it and then make

713
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: plays off play action, and they just you know, that's

714
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: that's a tough thing when they don't run it. And

715
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: Dak didn't have the same uh NFL upbringing as Tony did.

716
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: Tony sat watch prepared for three years before he got

717
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: his chance. This guy's three years he's going through it

718
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 1: on the field with the bullets flying. Just remember Romo

719
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: didn't become Romo until his fourth season. He also had

720
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: nine years in Garrett's system, and by the end of

721
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: his run here, like Brian said, he'd mastered the system. Yeah,

722
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: where he could, he could basically have Lanson, you know,

723
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: make adjustment again. I've talked to Sean Payton about this

724
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: a long time because I'm always fascinated by Drew Brees.

725
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: But he's like, I'll send stuff out there and Drew

726
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: will just take it and he'll think, Okay, I'm gonna

727
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: think it a little bit further down the line. I

728
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: just don't feel like you have that quarterback here right now.

729
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: And I think that's why the great wins are the

730
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: great ones, because they have that ability to kind of

731
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: take it. It's not all athletic ability because or armtown

732
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: or all that. Because if that was the case, Jeff

733
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: George would be in the Hall of Fame right now.

734
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning didn't have a great arm Dante Colepepper would

735
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame right now. Steve McNair,

736
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,479
Speaker 1: who was a great quarterback in his own right, would

737
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame right now. If it's

738
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: just about taking the ball and throwing it through the

739
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 1: car wash and having it not get wet, you know, yeah,

740
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 1: and you have to get Peyton Manning didn't become Peyton

741
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: Manning the first couple of years of his career, by

742
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: the way. He he he. But where he and Dak

743
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: do share some similarities is, and this is gonna be funny.

744
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: Their rookies and they had to play I mean the Colts.

745
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: The Colts were a three and thirteen team, and they

746
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: had they had the pick, and they they took Manning

747
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: and they threw him out there and he got lit up,

748
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 1: and Troy he got lit up too. They all got

749
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: lit up. And again I am not if you if

750
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: you want to, you can't compare Romo and Dak in

751
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: this way. You can't because I think that there's things

752
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: that the escapability both seemed to have when when Tony

753
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: was playing, you know, the the armed talent. I think

754
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 1: Dak has got I think Dak has is strong enough farm.

755
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: I mean some of those throws he makes going to

756
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: his left. But really, but what's between the years? And

757
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean that not as he's a dumb guy that

758
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: you can't function in life. I mean sometimes to be

759
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: successful you have to have smarts. You have to have

760
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: that uncanny ability to see what's happening in front of

761
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: you and make plays whether they're you know, it's anticipation.

762
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: People ask me about Dak's worst trade. I think it's anticipation.

763
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's just something he could develop. You know,

764
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: it's it's going to take some time. But right now

765
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: you're taking the lumps because he lacks it. So all right,

766

793
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: made of. That's why the Cowboys rely on more than

794

Speaker 1: staffs and scouting reports when building their team. When picking

795
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,000

796
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: specs and features as well. You gotta take it out

797
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,160

00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,160

837
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: but I've got all my products. But when I work

838
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: out and shower at the health club before I come here,

839
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: it's hard to get them to the shower. I need

840
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: a shower candy. Yeah, is that you're gonna carry it around? Like?

841
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: Is that unmanly? Not at all? I tried. I tried

842
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: to tell my son, who's now you know, high school

843
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: football player that you know, don't put all your stuff

844
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: in something that you can carry. I remember like being

845
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: in college. You know you haven't go into the shower

846
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,720
Speaker 1: stuff and then you have and you never have everything.

847
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 1: You would forget shampoo or you get if I'm around,

848
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: put it all on a thing. You can buy these

849
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 1: little handles, you carry them all what I need. It's

850
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: it's awesome. I wonder if Jack Black's got it's but

851
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,959
Speaker 1: you know the thing that Jack Black, it's interest all

852
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: they're all the tubes are all blue, right, so you

853
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: have to kind of okay, what am I? Okay, that's

854
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,919
Speaker 1: what's kind of graf, that's the skin, that's the beard,

855
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: loub that's you know, it's all great stuff. But you

856
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,879
Speaker 1: have to kind of physically look and see because they're

857
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: all kind of shape the same way. But they're all great.

858
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: But they're all tremendous products. I take really the three

861
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,560

Speaker 1: four hours away. Forty five minute flat. Gotta have it. Man, hair,

865
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 1: I know we only got about twelve minutes left in

866
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: the show. We say we talked a little bit about

867
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: this Jacksonville defense, Brian, I mean, from what you've seen, Yeah,

868
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,439
Speaker 1: are they as advertised? Are they the toughest unit they've

869
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: faced the Cowboys will face so far and possibly the

870
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: entire season? This is this is a unique group and

871
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 1: they've done a great job. This is a team that's

872
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: had a poor record for a number of years, they've

873
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: had high picks. They've done a great job of adding

874
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 1: defensive talent to their team. They're working on that offensive

875
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: side of the football now, but you know, they've also

876
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: hit on some guys that they've spent money on. If

877
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: you talk about their cornerbacks, A. J. Bouyer, the corner

878
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: they're playing op to Jalen Ramsey has been really, really good. Now,

879
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 1: this is a unique team to watch, guys, because the

880
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 1: cornerbacks flop sides. So I was kind of thinking of

881
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 1: a plan of maybe taking taking my whoever wide receivers

882
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 1: not gonna be a factor in this game, and put

883
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: him over there, you know, and Jalen rant and just

884
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: occupy him. You can't really do that because they stay

885
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: flip flop, uh, you know. And it's not because they're

886
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 1: carrying guys. They're not shadow they're not shadowing. They'll play field,

887
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 1: and they'll play boundary, and I mean boundary near the sidelines,

888
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: and then they'll let the other guy play the field.

889
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 1: So you can't really, you don't. You can't get a

890
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: bead on where where Jalen Ramsey's gonna play. So that

891
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:41,919
Speaker 1: could be a little bit of a problem. You gotta

892
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: be able to identify with him how you attack him.

893
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: I would attack him when he's in zone coverage. Don't

894
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: attack him when he's in man. And when he's when

895
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,839
Speaker 1: he's gonna give you a little space, make sure the

896
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: decision is quick, get the ball out and then and

897
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: then take what you can get out of that. When

898
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: you play man against him, he's very much like Patrick Peterson,

899
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 1: and he doesn't give you very much room. He doesn't

900
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 1: give you space. He's gonna run with you, he's gonna

901
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: be physical with the line, and he's gonna do all

902
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: those things, so you have to be careful the secondary.

903
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: Barry Church has done a nice job with them. This

904
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: Tayshawn the Gibson, you know, he's the other safety. I'm

905
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 1: I'm kind of a little bit I'm not too sure

906
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: about him. They drafted this Ronnie Harrison from Alabama, who

907
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: they've used a lot more when they played Tennessee, who

908
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: was run heavy. They took They took Harrison and they

909
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: took Gibson and they put them both down and then

910
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,439
Speaker 1: also played with Barry Church back. So they put three

911
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: safeties on the field and kind of a kind of

912
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:43,479
Speaker 1: a nickel look, but that was to handle they didn't

913
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: feel like that Tennessee could throw the football. So now

914
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,879
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys being very run heavy, Tennessee being

915
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: very run heavy. You might see the same thing where

916
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 1: they try and get more safeties down Miles Jack this

917
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: Telvin Smith. I mean, they've got a good group of linebackers,

918
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: but the defensive line is impressive. It's gonna remind you

919
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: very much of how the old Giants were. They got big.

920
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: They've got a big defensive end in Kalaiss Campbell. He

921
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: plays what they play, the strong defensive end. So whatever

922
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,720
Speaker 1: whenever they declare your strength, they say, okay, your strengths

923
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: to the right, They'll put Kalais Campbell to that side

924
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 1: and then he will be a rusher there. We also

925
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 1: have to be worried about him putting them over the

926
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,240
Speaker 1: top of Connor Williams because when they went to Nickel

927
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: against Kansas City to try and create pressure, they put

928
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: Kalaiss Campbell inside and he is He's as six eight guy.

929
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: He's six eight like David Irvy, but he doesn't have

930
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: the quickness of David Irving. He's yeah, but his lateral

931
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,800
Speaker 1: agility struggles a little bit. But you talk about power,

932
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: he's a straight power player. I've seen him walk guys

933
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: right back in when he's playing end. When he's playing tackle,

934
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 1: I've seen him walk guys right back into the quarterbacks lap.

935
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 1: So that's the problem you're gonna have to you're gonna

936
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: have to do with Malik Jackson plays as the undertackle

937
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: of the three. He's another guy that could very well

938
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: give Connor Williams a little problem. And then Marcel Darius,

939
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: who they got from Buffalo is in a trade, is

940
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: just a big guy that's hard to move inside. So

941
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna try and stop you from running

942
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: the ball, but they think they're good enough too in

943
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: the secondary to just to cover you up and not

944
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 1: give anything on the back end. And we'll see what happens.

945
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they've they've had, they've they've you know, Kansas

946
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:33,399
Speaker 1: City uniquely the way that Kansas City plays. Mahomes did

947
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,879
Speaker 1: a nice job wet day, getting the ball around, very

948
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: creative and when some of the things they did offensively

949
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: to try and take advantage of Jackson. But I think

950
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: Jacksonville lost that football game because of Blake Bortles. That's

951
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: why they lost. He was awful. Yeah, that's why they

952
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: lost that game, Mike, what do you see from them

953
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: on tape if you've watched a little bit so far.

954
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: I watched the game, yeah, and so I've got a

955
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 1: messed up view of what they are. Yeah, because they

956
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: got torched. Darius IMPRESSI to me. He gave Kansas City trouble. Yeah,

957
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: in the middle, he made a lot of plays. Um,

958
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 1: I mean, Kansas City just kind of had their way

959
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,240
Speaker 1: with them, and with the amount of turnovers they made,

960
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,800
Speaker 1: it made it easier on them. I mean, they're they're

961
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 1: they beat New England, all right, they did, but then

962
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: they won. Uh, they're they're they're the champions of New

963
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: York because they beat the Jets and the Giants. Yeah,

964
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,720
Speaker 1: they do have desistically the best defense in the league,

965
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: and they do have eight guys on their roster who

966
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: have made Pro Bowls. They're still number one. After the

967
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: yards they gave up against Kansas City, they're still number one.

968
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 1: And they will score touchdowns too. That's the other thing

969
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: you got to worry about against a Cowboys offense that

970
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,399
Speaker 1: has been challenged so far. Team scored seven touchdowns last

971
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,359
Speaker 1: year defensively, and I think they've last year. I think

972
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 1: they got a couple this year too, at least one.

973
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 1: I think they got one against the Giants. Yeah, so

974
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: they played their tough game. So if they do that

975
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: with their corners, Yeah, then I'm putting my wide receivers

976
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 1: in motion. Yeah. We talked, and then they can decide

977
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: where they're going. We talked to Alan Hearns yesterday, who

978
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: knows these guys very well, practiced with him every day,

979
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 1: and he said, look, they're gonna load up to stop Zeke,

980
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 1: and they're gonna press us, and we have to make

981
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: plays on the outside. That's that is imperative for this

982
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver group. This week, Well, they weren't. They weren't

983
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: pressing the whole game against Kansas City. That's why they

984
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: started playing off. Yeah, that's why I felt like though

985
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: they respected Kansas City speed with that hill. I think

986
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: they were worried about They were worried about hill. They're

987
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: playing on a grass field, it was wet conditions, and

988
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: they thought, Okay, we can't slip, we can't fall. But yeah,

989
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: it's a I really wanted to see them play against

990
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: the Giants because the Giants with it was the first

991
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 1: game of the year. You know, the Giants are gonna

992
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: try and run the ball with that rookie back. But

993
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: the way I think they're going to play the Cowboys,

994
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 1: and I think Alan's absolutely right, They're gonna press you

995
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 1: and they're gonna try and choke this run. And where

996
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: where it was very evident, like I was talking about

997
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: with moving guys around, was that Tennessee game. You know,

998
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,399
Speaker 1: because Tennessee is a They're much like the Cowboys. They're

999
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 1: very run heavy. And I felt like, Okay, how do

1000
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 1: they do this? But when they wanted to get to

1001
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: when they want to get the pass rush, they kicked

1002
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 1: that Campbell inside. You know, they bring on they bring

1003
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,320
Speaker 1: on Fowler, their first round pick from a while. But

1004
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 1: I mean they have guys that can legitimately rush the passer.

1005
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 1: They got big guys inside, they got fast guys on

1006
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: the edge, and they got linebackers that are really sidelined

1007
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: to silence players. I will say this, Uh, as much

1008
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: as I love Miles Jack, Jalen Smith from what I

1009
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: saw on tape is playing better than what Miles Jack.

1010
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 1: Is interesting. They put Campbell inside so much. I thought

1011
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: he was a defensive tackle. Now I said, when did

1012
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 1: they move in the defensive Yeah, He's like they had

1013
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: him inside quite a bit. This is I just feel

1014
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: like that they're gonna try and press and push Connor Williams.

1015
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a tough game for Connor Williams

1016
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 1: because he's gonna have to hold up against some guys.

1017
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm mentioned that whole thing with Malie Jackson. He's he's

1018
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,280
Speaker 1: like a a big quick guy. I mean, they attack

1019
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: your shoulder around, you know, and when we see Connor

1020
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 1: when he gets a little over extended, he gets you know,

1021
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: that guy swims around him and kind of like wit

1022
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: saw last week with the with the Texans JJ Watt

1023
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:18,399
Speaker 1: quick movement. Then there you go. So when you play

1024
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: two tight end, how do they declare what the strong

1025
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: side is? They'll probably declare to the strength of the

1026
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 1: tight ends because they probably feel that you're going to

1027
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:30,839
Speaker 1: run the football so to Swayton side, right, Jarwin's right, right,

1028
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: So if if they put if if you the thing,

1029
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 1: what you what you're gonna try and do is try

1030
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,720
Speaker 1: and balance them. You know, you could play twelve personnel

1031
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 1: and then split your tight ends and then balance. That's

1032
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: what I meant both if they're both on the same side,

1033
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:46,919
Speaker 1: of course, that's very obvious, but if you play twelve

1034
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: personnel and you put one on the right, one on

1035
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 1: the left, you're gonna balance them and try and make

1036
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,879
Speaker 1: them declare. Okay, now, maybe you could scheme a way

1037
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: to keep to keep h to keep Ramsey out of

1038
00:53:57,640 --> 00:53:59,760
Speaker 1: the out of the picture, and then just play against

1039
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 1: ten guys. You know that that that that's gonna be.

1040
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: Like I said, that's gonna be. But he will travel

1041
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,439
Speaker 1: and he will also play in the slot. So don't

1042
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: be surprised if all of a sudden Beasley's down in

1043
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 1: the slot. They're trying to work that angle a little

1044
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:15,280
Speaker 1: bit because they're their normal slot guy is Tyler Patman.

1045
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,720
Speaker 1: We all from here, So all right? Why no Malik

1046
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:24,320
Speaker 1: Jackson from Was he Texas? He was? Was it Denver?

1047
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 1: They got him from Denver? I know no, But I

1048
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: mean did he play college? Jefferson? Right, Belle, Jefferson's a linebacker?

1049
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, Texas? I said, right, jack Yeah, okay,

1050
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 1: all right, all right, right, quick plug by the way

1051
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: and go to Dallas Cowboys dot com four tickets to

00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,320
Speaker 1: holding quickly, you got the last word on talking cowboys.

1055
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: Good morning y'all. Um, last time I wanted to mention um,

1056
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 1: especially with difficulty you're having with the run, why don't

1057
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: they go out and try to get a blocking tight end.

1058
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: I'm thinking made you like a Tyler Conklin or a

Speaker 1: last Yeah, right around there. I think that to me

1068
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 1: that if you can identify you know, this is gonna

1069
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 1: sound funny, but Rico Gathers has not been terrible, you know,

1070
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: so big body, yeah, big body. And I'm thinking that

1071
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 1: maybe the more confidence that you give him, maybe you say,

1072
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: you know, and he's starting to understand the plays and

1073
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 1: it knows what he needs to do. If you're gonna

1074
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: throw him the football. Put him out there and let

1075
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 1: him block too, you know, let him, let him let

1076
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:53,839
Speaker 1: people see him block, block, block, block block, and then

1077
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 1: sneak him, you know, up the field like you did.

1078
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: Don't just put him on the field to throw him

1079
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,360
Speaker 1: the ball. But Rico Gathers has not been terrible locking,

1080
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:02,879
Speaker 1: so I'm kind of can he be an h back?

1081
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 1: If I asked, I don't know. I'm just gonna put him.

1082
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:08,879
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna put him in line and let him

1083
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 1: but use that big body to capture the edge. I
