97
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,280

Speaker 1: and you know Turkey, I make two different variations doing

99
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,279

101
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: but we're pretty sure that I'm the only vegetarian that

00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: makes two different turkeys. Really, he deep fries it too.

103
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,000

105
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: blowing up. That's Isaiah definitely. It's absolutely you were You

106
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: were not until he got he was not doing it.

107
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, oh wait, all right, let's stark cowboys here

108
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: for a little bit. It's it's the bye week. We've

109
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: got a little bit more time to kill, so we're

110
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna talk about with Thanksgiving and whatever. But Cowboys got

111
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: the buy a week. Uh. We didn't get a chance,

112
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: at least with this crew to talk about what happened

113
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: at the trade deadline. And I want to get to

114
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: it because we hit it with Brian, we hit it

115
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: with Nate, and the trade deadline was disappointing for a

116
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: lot of Cowboys nation. It really was, including I say,

117
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: standback is popping his microphone and read anymore. Don't exactly,

118
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: but yeah, I want to get you'all thoughts on the

119
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: trade deadline? Was it as disappointing as it was made

120
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: out to be from a lot of Cowboys fans or

121
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: was it just the right deal didn't go through and

122
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: thus no move happened. Isaiah, I am able to disappoint it.

123
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: You're disappointed? Yes? Why is that? Because last year we

124
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: had a perfect example of Dallas being in a really

125
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: good position, a really good position going into the playoffs,

126
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: and you're feeling good, You're feeling confident. Offenses at top

127
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: of the league, defenses make it as the highest turnover

128
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: margin in the league. I mean, things are going great, right,

129
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: and then you just didn't have enough. You just knew

130
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: that you needed something more. You felt good going into

131
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but then when you got to the playoffs,

132
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: you're like, oh crap, we need more people. Right, So

133
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, guess what, these are going good?

134
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: You've overcome the greatest form of adversity that you could

135
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: imagined that you would face. This year, You're in a

136
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: good position, right, record is good, and you're looking at

137
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: the rest of your schedule. You're like, oh, yeah, we

138
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: feel good about this. Why not ensure that you have

139
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: more people when you have last year to remember that

140
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: you didn't have enough people. You had a chance to

141
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: pull the trigger on some people. I would imagine I'm

142
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,679
Speaker 1: not gonna not gonna gas and speculating all that jazz.

143
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: But there are guys, Okay, teams that are planning on

144
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: being competitive in the playoffs made moves to strategically positioning

145
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: themselves to have more people and have more weapons and

146
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: have more goons when the time comes that matters most,

147
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: when you need to win three, three, four games, that's

148
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: when that's when you have those guys there. Yeah, and

149
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: Dallas didn't do it. That's not to say that they

150
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: didn't try. I don't know. I'm not in those meetings.

151
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: They tried. I'm sure they tried. I'm sure they tried.

152
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: So did the Green Bay Packers. They tried to, but

153
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: it didn't happen. Okay, So at the end of the day,

154
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: you're stuck with the same guys, and that's okay. Now

155
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: let's have some guys. I would have liked for them

156
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: to be aggressive, step outside of themselves, outside of what

157
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: the organization typically does. And when they say, oh, you know,

158
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: we gotta make sure we protect our future. Hey, we

159
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: gotta make sure we keep our draft picks. Oh we gotta,

160
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta go. We got the guys, you do,

161
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: got the guys, but get another guy. They go out

162
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: there and just dominate. Okay, I'll say this, and I'll

163
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 1: I'll try to do it without hogging the mic, so

164
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: to speak. I like the attempt becut attempts plural, attempts

165
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: plural because not all attempts are created equal. So if

166
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: it was simply then putting out a feeler to the

167
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: Houston Texans, for example, if it was just a feeler,

168
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: that's disappointing. But it wasn't a feeler. It was a

169
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: full blown conversation that had legs and had traction. And

170
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: I kind of said this on media match after the fact,

171
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: I said, I wonder and it turns out that I

172
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: was right. I wonder if and we can't sell the

173
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: player's name, but in conversations with the Houston Texans for

174
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: player X, if those conversations kind of went left after

175
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: Player WHY from Pittsburgh was traded and that that price

176
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: was set, And as it turns out, reportedly Houston wanted

177
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: a second and a fourth for player X and they

178
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: refused to eat a single penny of a fully guaranteed

179
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars salary that's coming due. No right, So

180
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: no reports have come out that the organization took a

181
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: swing towards Denver for Jerry Judy, that conversation had a

182
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: little bit of attraction, but the price couldn't be agreed upon.

183
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: So I don't think that this was well, I'm pretty

184
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: confident this wasn't a situation where the Cowboys were just

185
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: kind of putting out feelers to give the illusion that hey,

186
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: we're trying. They actually were, and these the prices that

187
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: were being set and paid. I'm out on that. I'm

188
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: out only especially when I wouldn't he and hear your segue,

189
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: especially when you have free agents out there that so

190
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: maybe if said free agent wasn't available, we'll get to

191
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: him in a few seconds, then maybe you're a little

192
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: bit more willing to just break that bank. But that notwithstanding,

193
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: I'm not paying those prices, so I'm just not. It

194
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: almost irritates me that they were willing to have the

195
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: conversations with those teams about those particular about that one.

196
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: Let's go over the Texas. Okay, the Texas. I was

197
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: actually disgusted that they were having those conversations. Okay, I'm

198
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: the guy sitting here saying that I wish they would

199
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: have put a trigger on somebody, whether offensively, defense whatever.

200
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm the guy sitting here saying that. But if they

201
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: would have got that guy would have been hot because

202
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: you just let a guy go last year. Yeah, so

203
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: I would have been what you think we can agree

204
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: that that guy shit. So don't don't talk about don't

205
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: go talking to them about their guys amount of our

206
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: guy that we had. You know what I'm saying. When

207
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: you had a guy who was in the building, who

208
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: was doing his job, being quiet, being a leader, being effective,

209
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: under utilize, and you let him go and you're gonna

210
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: go talk to somebody who's making the same amount, don't

211
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: do that. Don't do which is why the only way

212
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: it would have were in one hundred we were the

213
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: same page, which is why, and I said this on Twitter,

214
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: the only way it would have worked for me, first

215
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: of all, second and fourth if that holds true, that's

216
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: why pick a middle finger. Yeah. Um. But but on

217
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: top of that, um to not eat any of that

218
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: eighteen million. No, just just absolutely not, because, like as

219
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: they are saying, I mean, if you if you're willing

220
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: to bring on a fully guaranteed eighteen then the question

221
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: immediately becomes why why Michael Jackson style eighteen. Yeah, eighteen,

222
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: and it would be it would be one of those

223
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: moves where every ounce of Cowboys Nation would have said

224
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: you were wrong. Therapy from from you would just admitted

225
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: that you were wrong. So from the get cold. Now,

226
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: if the price was different, then that's a completely different conversation.

227
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: But for that price, no, I agree. Also, now, hindsight

228
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, when Brandon Cook excuse me, sorry, a player

229
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: X couldn't get traded. Then you turn around and all

230
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden he's not playing the next day. I

231
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: mean that that's a problem. That means he's not in

232
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: the right headspace to be playing. Well, he's pile sure,

233
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: he's pissed because he thought he could go to a contender. Yeah, yeah,

234
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: you spent six months ago, you just signed big deal,

235
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: big boy Country. So quiet, right, you just s and

236
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys weren't the only team calling about so, I mean,

237
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: the Houston Texas were in a situation where they had

238
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: an out, in a situation that's devolving rapidly, just unraveling

239
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: in front of them, and they could have gotten something

240
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: for it. But you know, it's like my grandma used

241
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: to Grandma used to say you're smelling yourself. You're smelling yourself.

242
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: You should have been more reasonable. Like I've told you

243
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: guys before, that front office. I know that front office

244
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: because the individual that runs that front Texas was my

245
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: receiver's coach slash GM in New England. So any negotiating

246
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: with him is going to be very, very difficult. So

247
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: he might have found himself in a in a little

248
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: bit of it. Would be interested to see how it

249
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: all plays out, because this is not a pretty situation.

250
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: And now you know, we'll see if they end up

251
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: partying ways with player X and not getting anything out

252
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: to deal. So yeah, how about that? That'd bit crazy.

253
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: But there are other options on the table. There are,

254
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: so we've talked about it on this show before and

255
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: I don't think the answer was resounding yes to go

256
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: and get this guy. But it has been reported by

257
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: multiple sources at the moment that Odell Beckham Junior is

258
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: firmly on the Cowboys radar. That is the report you've heard, murmurs,

259
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 1: We've we've seen the list, we've seen the guys you

260
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: strike out on the trade deadline on finding a receiver

261
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: that could add to this receiving corps with Ceedee Lamb,

262
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup, potentially James Washington coming back into the fold soon,

263
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: Jaalen Tolbert and so on and so forth. You forgot

264
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: his wide receiver one. Oh no, no oh, Noah Brown.

265
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: That's fair disrespect Yeah, sorry, very disrespectful. What does the

266
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: trade deadline change your mind? Yes? No about Odeha No yes? Um? Wait,

267
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: so does my statements from last week okay, prior to

268
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: you guys firing me for two days to another podcast

269
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: kick you off. I think that he is an exceptional player.

270
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: I think he is a generational player. I think he's

271
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: overcome a lot in his career, no doubt, physically, mentally, emotionally. Um.

272
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: I think that he's going to make an impact for

273
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: whatever team he goes to, if if he's healthy. My

274
00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: concerns with that particular individual are the leadership quidies, and

275
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: as we talk about a room that lost a leader

276
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: and seemingly still doesn't have one from what we can see,

277
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: I have hesitation in acquiring somebody who has had issues

278
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: in that regard. So if you have, if you have

279
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: a little grease fire going on in your in your pan, okay,

280
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: and that we call the receiver room just a little

281
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: what's a little grease fire? But this is manageable. Okay,

282
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: don't pour water on it. Don't pour water on it

283
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: because you think that pouring water on it is gonna

284
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: is gonna put out your fire. You learn the horrid

285
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: way that pouring water on a grease fire, Kyle sparks

286
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: that thing up. So why do that? So your left

287
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: in a scenario where it's like, crap, we didn't pull

288
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: the trigger on any and now he who has the leverage,

289
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: Now we couldn't find the fire extinguish. He has the leverage.

290
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: We couldn't find a fire signature right before it got crazy. Right,

291
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: we don't have no flour all we got. Now it's

292
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: freaking water and we got a grease fire. What are

293
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: you gonna do with it? No, see better road, some

294
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: dirt on that thing, Find some dirt, throw it outside

295
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: of the Let's just let's put it plainly. Let's state

296
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: it plainly when it comes to obj Um, this is

297
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: not a knock on him as a human being. He's

298
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: a good he's a good dude. Really is a good dude. Um.

299
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: This is most certainly not a knock on his skill set.

300
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: Skill set is phenomenal phenomenal, um. But it goes to fit,

301
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: it's to fit there. We talked about it before the

302
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: trade deadline. Is this being a possible scenario? Um? And

303
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: for me, if he's not getting his targets, I wonder

304
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: if the dark side of OBJ shows up that the

305
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: guy who wants the ball throw me the ball. And

306
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: you're not coming into a situation where you're w R one,

307
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: You're not coming into a situation where you're w R two.

308
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: You are coming into a situation where you're fighting with

309
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: Noah Brown. Facts for the love of Dak Prescott and

310
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: Noah had the inside track having been here for so

311
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: many years. Now, I'm not saying he can't beat out

312
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: Noah Brown. I think arguably he has a much better

313
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: skill set. But then you also have to throw into

314
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: the mix. Not only that, because if you're fighting for

315
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: a wide receiver three slash four reps, that means you're

316
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: not on the field for one hundred percent of the

317
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: reps as you would see a CD Lamb or Michael

318
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: Gallop or near it. But also hashtag keep that energy

319
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: for those that are wondering how long it would take

320
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: Michael Gallop to get back to top form after tearing

321
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: his ACO or Michael Gallop is in his twenties with

322
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: one ACO tear. This is a thirty year old with

323
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: two ACO tears, and he will be coming in on

324
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: the back half of the season. So you might not

325
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: even see him reach top form until closer to the playoffs,

326
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: which matters most. That's that's great, but that might not

327
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: even time up correctly because he's not getting it. You know, Isaiah,

328
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: the more you need more game reps, more game reps.

329
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: But if he's fighting for three or four, then the

330
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: game reps dwindle a bit. It's just too many concerns. It.

331
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: Could he make an impact if they bought man figured out? Yeah,

332
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: So that's the argument, right, So the argument is will

333
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: he be impactful Absolutely if the Dallas Cowboys went that rout. Absolutely,

334
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: if he's healthy and if he's in the mindset, in

335
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: the right mind frame. Right, nobody knows, right, I'm not

336
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: in I'm not his at his house. I don't know

337
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: what his mindset is. Maybe he's a lot more willing

338
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: now understanding the situation. Jason Peter's train exactly right, So

339
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: we don't know. We're going to go off a history. Okay,

340
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: so he very well might have the right mindset, and

341
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: he very well might be healthy enough at that point

342
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: in time. If those are things come together, then you're

343
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: adding a valuable asset, valuable weapon at the time, and

344
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: he'd be hitting the ground running by the time that

345
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: you need him to be hitting the ground running. Right,

346
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: That's why you would acquire somebody like that for the

347
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: playoff frame. Right, Okay, your regular season is going just fine. Okay,

348
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: So all those things add up to be positives. It's

349
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: just the question mark on the what if. And I

350
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: don't think it's a negative on I don't ob j.

351
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: I think it's passionate. I've been around some very passionate receivers.

352
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: I played with Randy Moss and I played with Terrell Owens.

353
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: Those guys are very passionate receivers of it just a

354
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: little bit, Okay, they don't they perceive that as problem

355
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: guys because they're so passionate about their craft. They want

356
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: to be impactful. They don't want to just be a

357
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: guy on the field. I think that's the same category

358
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: OBJ is in. Not at the Hall of Fame. I'm

359
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: not saying that. I'm saying in terms of passion ships

360
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: for the game I'm saying, he wants to have an

361
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: impact on the game. He doesn't want to just be

362
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: freaking present, right. He wants to actually get the ball.

363
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: He wants to do something with the ball. He wants

364
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: to have a positive impact on the outcome of the game.

365
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: And that's the type of player you're talking about. He's

366
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: not okay just collecting the check. He's not okay just

367
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: being a decoy. He's not okay just lining up however

368
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: many reps a game and not having a true impact

369
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: getting two three catches. So that's the individual you're bringing

370
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: in and you have to understand, and I'm sure they do,

371
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: what type of personality that is that you're bringing him

372
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: into a room that doesn't have clear direction right now,

373
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: because the guy that you're asking to be number one,

374
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: I think they're starting to realize we put too much

375
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: weight on him. I think that's a good thing. What

376
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: you're telling me about OBJ and his passion and wants.

377
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: That's what I feel like he's missing in this wide

378
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: receiver room. I'm not necessarily saying, yeah, you need some

379
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: of that and the personality. I feel like it's the

380
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: wrong word, but that fire. I mean, we kept them

381
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: as the grease pan the fire right there. That's that's

382
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: going on. I think he could be that fire. He

383
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: could add to that. I don't know if it's immediately

384
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: a move that the Cowboys would make and then automatically

385
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: they're better that I don't think that should be the

386
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: expectation if they were to make a move like this.

387
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: But would they be a better wide receiving corps at

388
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: the top the bottom The answer that it would be yes.

389
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: And here's how you get me to buy in fully

390
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: on this. And we won't know. We would not know

391
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: until unless it actually happens. If if OBJ is more

392
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: in the Jason Peters fold, obviously different positions, So Jason Peters,

393
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: you can't rotate guys in on the offensive line like that.

394
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: We talked about that set your offensive line wide receiver

395
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: corp is much different, right, That's that's a free for all. Right,

396
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: you go in there, you produce, you get your rips. Meritocracy,

397
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: it's one of the true meritocracy. Autocracy is a position

398
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: in football. So if OBJ can come in and he says,

399
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: you know what, I know him thirty I know him

400
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: coming off of a second toWin ACL. I know that

401
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: at least at the top two spots on your on

402
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: your wide receiver corps. You have that locked. I'm gonna

403
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: come in and try to fight for some of those reps.

404
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 1: But I get it, you don't think you can fight

405
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: for the number two spot at that point, at that

406
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: point in the season. It's no, it's not like Michael

407
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: Gallops played ten games healthy by that point though. I

408
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: mean he's only been around for a couple You're starting

409
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: to see him and Dak make connections sure, so that

410
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: their chemistry is coming back. It's a fair point connection

411
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: between Lamb and Dak. They're coming back. You saw it

412
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: in the Lions game or one of the Bears, I

413
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: should say. And again going back to what I said,

414
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: you know second toWin a cl you're gonna have to

415
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: give him several games. You might not get prime O

416
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: b J until late December going into January. May never

417
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: get and that's the possibility you may never get prime

418
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: movie J. So all of this has to be a

419
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: part of the discussion. And as long as he understands

420
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: that and the expectation is set correctly, and he comes

421
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: in saying, you know what I'm I'm I'm going to

422
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: try my best to compete for one and two. But realistically,

423
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: if I can do my best and I'm producing enough

424
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: to get three, then okay, you're not going to hear

425
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: anything from me, But then you get the fire from

426
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: him kind of pushing everybody in just his presence. Do

427
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: you think Dallas has the money to pay him, Yes, yeah,

428
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: I don't. I do, but his price is going up

429
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: because the trade deadline has passed and they're not the

430
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: only team that leages he has He's he's number one

431
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: when you go out there in a free agent right

432
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: you said, Okay, now we're passing to trade deadline. We

433
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: want to add more weapons to every team in the

434
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: league that needs a wide receiver. It's going to has

435
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: had an interest in obi Jo absolutely. Now what helps

436
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: them out is because and I'm of the mindset, well,

437
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: I was until last nights a game that Los Angeles

438
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: was still in play. I don't know if he wants

439
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: to go into that situation now, but one of the

440
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: other top teams that I figured would be in on

441
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: him would be Kansas City. But Kansas City they trade

442
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: for Kadarius Tone, so they feel like that's okay. So

443
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: Kansas City is off the map. Now, now you're going

444
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: up against teams like Green Bay and they're they don't

445
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: feel like they're seeing talking about They feel they got

446
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: to make a move and they might be willing to

447
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: overpay to get OBJ up there. So we talk about

448
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: a desperate desperate teams going up. I don't think unless

449
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: he really just wants to play here, but they might.

450
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: But that might be the case. My question is to

451
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: you guys, my Dallas historians, how has Dak done with

452
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: that type of personality? Does? Is really the only thing

453
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: I can think of, But he did. They got along

454
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: very very well. Now of course, at the same time

455
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,479
Speaker 1: that was um, that was yeah, that was rookie Dack

456
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: versus Alpha dis Ye, right, it wasn't Alpha Dack versus

457
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: Alpha did. So it's different. But now it's Alpha Dak um. So.

458
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 1: I mean, it's an interesting interest in dynamic. But I mean,

459
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: like you said, do the Cowboys have the money to

460
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: pay them? Absolutely, they have more than enough salary cap

461
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: to get him in for the you know, to finish

462
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: up out and other teams to outbid. Mathematically, yes, the

463
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: willingness has to come into play though, because it's a

464
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: big thing. Because when you again and I say this

465
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: name Green Bay. They're in dire straits, and you better

466
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: believe Aaron Rodgers, even though even though the loss against

467
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: the Lions was largely Aaron Rodgers's fault. Yeah, he is

468
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: in that front office right now, throwing chairs. Get me, somebody,

469
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: get me, somebody, get me somebody. So that's who you're

470
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: going up against. Um. So you know OBJ is sitting

471
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: at home like Marlow from the wire. Probably the bricks

472
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: going up, Yeah, no doubt about that. All right, interesting conversation.

473
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll touch on it throughout the week in

474
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: news and notes and give you some updates along the way.

475
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: But when we come back classes in session, we've got

476
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: Patrick nose Walker and Professor standback. We are giving grades

477
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: on the first half of the season when we come

478
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: back with more talking cowboys. When you build, you start

479
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: with the foundation, and home ownership is a foundation of

480
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: a stable future. The of America Community Homeownership Commitment has

481
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: helped over thirty four thousand people lay the ground work

482
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: so far with up to ten thousand dollars. So it's

483
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: your down payment or three percent of the purchase price,

484
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: whichever is less. The satisfaction of owning your own place

485

495
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: thought it would be secure to jog in the cheetahs.

496
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: Evanna Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought online

497
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: was reliable. And Todd is trying to be faster than

498
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. But

499
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: the good news is Todd has at and T five G.

500
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the

501
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: best thing to do is stop running and toss her

502
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:16,240

535
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: didn't hear it? Speaking of a beat to it? Did

536
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: you see Isaiah's hype video from this week? Did not?

537
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,119

Speaker 1: got some work to do. I don't know, Mike, he's

542
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: He was really good, Mike. I didn't spit on the

543
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: tea on the screen. He had the hood up. He

544
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: was he had the swinging like boxing bags, the punching

545
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: bags in the back and filmed about himself too. What

546
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: do you know about that? Mike never filmed himself. Come

547
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: at me, Mike. They didn't send you a camera playmaker

548

554
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: to grade the first half of the season. Yeah, listen

555
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: to Stephen next. Please, first half of the season. I

556
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: want three grades A to F. Okay, on three guys,

557
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna start with Dan Quinn, defensive coordinator for the

558
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, based off of your expectations and the way

559
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: they've been met to this point in the season. Into

560
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: six and two, Dallas Cowboys. Patrick will start with you. Um,

561
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: you know, even with the expectations being sky high, he's

562
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: he's found a way to exceed them. So I'm gonna

563
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: give him the A plus. I wish I could just

564
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: go ahead and give him back and him coming loud

565
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: because because good grief, dan Quinn so so absolutely so

566
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: A with honors, Yeah, A with honors, belledictorian. Just give

567
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: him just the cord and everything, man, dan Quinn A

568
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: plus plus plus plus plus, A plus plus plus. Yeah. Okay,

569
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: uh you know DCUs, my dog. You know that's my guy.

570
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: So but I'm going with a minus. I'm going to

571
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,959
Speaker 1: a minus. I'm leading a little little little space in there,

572
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, NOC. The reason why I'm

573
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: leaving a little spaces because we knew that last year

574
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: there was a problem stopping the run. In this first

575
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: half of the Stevens season, it still hasn't been resolved.

576
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: So even though he's might he's here, I'm pretty sure

577
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: if it he's made efforts to try to negate that

578
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: hole that was in the defense, right, it still hasn't happened. So,

579
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: just like you were talking about Dallas making efforts, just

580
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: how you talking about Green Bay making efforts and you

581
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying with the free agency, we don't

582
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: give out dog gone effort awards around here. Okay, So

583
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: DCUs my dog. He knows it and that's why he

584
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: went out there and got been Hankins. Okay and Hankins

585
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: all right, but I can't give him an A plus

586
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: because they're still being exposed on the Russian side of things.

587
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure that will improve, but to date, that's still

588
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: the way that you attacked Dallas Cawtholics fair. I just

589
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: need Jonathan every time we say his name this show

590
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: moving forward, that is how he is being referred to. Okay,

591
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: I'm I think I'm right there with you, because he's

592
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: been fantastic. Dan Quinn has just capped offenses off balance.

593
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: There hasn't been a game to this point in the

594
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: season where you can point at it and say the

595
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: defense lost you the game. Maybe Philadelphia. There was a

596
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: little bit of a murmur there with the back end

597
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: of it, and I still I put that. I put

598
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: that on the on the offense, put it on the quarterback,

599
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: put it on the offense. Absolutely all right. So a

600
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: minus minus, a plus plus, which is fine. What about

601
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore offensive coordinator. Where would you put him at?

602
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: Because it's definitely not ALA plus. I mean there's a

603
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: little bit more of a pause there. This would have

604
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: been a failing grade as recently two weeks ago. Wow,

605
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: failing grade greatest talking like a D or like a

606
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: straight school undergraduating great great sod So ce SE's not

607
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: passing in grad school there you go, would say that

608
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: it would have been below. I was always told sees

609
00:31:54,640 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: get degrees, so I mean my stress level. And when

610
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: I heard that, we talked about expectation, about expectations, We

611
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: expect these guys to perform at the grad school level. Right, Um,

612
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: it would have been a D as recently as two

613
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Because he got away from the run in

614
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: week one. It cost it helped cost the team that

615
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: lost or that that game. He went to the run

616
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: week three. Who Week three stuck with it, Gray started,

617
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: the buoy, started to go up, Um went back down

618
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: because he got away from it again, you know, so

619
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: forth and so on. So Lion's first half stunk up

620
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: the joint just offensive league, but from the second half

621
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: all the way through the Bears game in totality for

622
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: the most part, he's he's he's out a seat. Now

623
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: he's out a seat. Now. I've seen enough where I

624
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: still have concern going forward as far as his commitment

625
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: to the run and not, you know, getting two creative

626
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: situations where he shouldn't. But I've also seen enough where

627
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: I'm confident he can get the job done schematically and

628
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: really tear up some offenses, especially as this offensive personnel

629
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: his receivers start to get jailed and James Washington comes back.

630
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: Maybe OBJ whatever OBJ signed and he's part of the

631
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: see right now for me, Okay, Isaiah, I'm gonna go

632
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: with the sea right there. And since we're talking about

633
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: grads see from no CEM finally got it, I'm gonna

634
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: pass that se on to Keller Moore. I like Kelly Moore.

635
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: I have high expectations for Kelly Moore more than anybody

636
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: knows that. I'm always on killing Moore's head. Just no

637
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: doubt I know what he's capable of. I think we

638
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: all we're pretty critical on this show of Kellen Moore. Absolutely,

639
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: we'll give him his flowers when they're due. But for

640
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: the most part, even when Rob and heckmo were on

641
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: this show and then now No Ce kind of adds

642
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: to it. We're critical of Kellen Moore because he's not perfect, no,

643
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: nor has he been. But he can be better. He

644
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: can be he could be amazing. He's fighting as Yeah,

645
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: he fights himself. He fights himself and then that's I mean,

646
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: he's still doing that. I think he's matured. I think

647
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: he's slow trickling his bag like we talked about over

648
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: the past year or two. You know, he used to

649
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,479
Speaker 1: just dump it out. You know, we talked about him

650
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: dumping out the legos. Yeah, you know, he's slowly taking

651
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: them out. He's showing restraint, but he's still he's still

652
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: taking the legos out of the bag and his hands

653
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: is shaken as he puts it down because he really

654
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: just wants to dump it out, but he's trying to

655
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: pull back a little bit. I have to give him

656
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 1: a scene just because the inconsistency, the inconsistency in this offense.

657
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: And I understand everybody's gonna say, oh, well, we just

658
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: got Dak back. I get it. Okay, I get it.

659
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 1: But you talk about week one when you had Dak

660
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: didn't look good. Okay, we talked about Dak as soon

661
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: as he came back oh, we pushed it a little

662
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: bit too close, right. There was a couple of plays

663
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: and there are two to three plays that we who

664
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: just gotta wipe your brow a little because you got

665
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: a little lucky in the game would have been totally different,

666
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: just because you're being so overly aggressive, overly confident, as

667
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott would describe it. Okay, and then you come

668
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: up there and you beat up on the Bears. Can't

669
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: you beat up on the Bears? All right? Good good talk.

670
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: I can't give more because the receivers haven't done more.

671
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 1: I can't give more because they haven't been in position

672
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 1: to do more. I can't give more because the running

673
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: game is just now starting to figure itself out. This

674
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: from where does offense fail last year to where they

675
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: are now, it's a C. If I was grading it

676
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: just on this year, I'll probably give it a B minus. Man, see,

677
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: I still land one, but I still think i'd see

678
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,720
Speaker 1: if it's this year alone. But yeah, with the context

679
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: of knowing what they were last year, I'd be inclined

680
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: to give him a d. Oh. Yeah, that's even though

681
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: it's losing Cooper is not his call. No, you take

682
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: a receiver point that's not that's not him, or at

683
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: least from what we know, it might not be on him.

684
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: I think it would be probably more so on the

685
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: head coach in the front office for a move like that.

686
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 1: D No. I think you got the context going from

687
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: where they were last year to now. Yeah, but with

688
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: it being just straight this year, I'd give him a

689
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: C minus. So mister irrelevant, Yeah, I'd give him C minus.

690
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: I don't entirely disagree. I just feel like they're we

691
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: should put a little bit of a curve on that,

692
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: because let's assume it wasn't his call to get rid

693
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 1: of Cooper. The team has already stated and we already

694
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: knew this, they tried to retain Cedric Wilson. But the

695
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: bigger bag in Miami, you lost two of your top receivers, right,

696
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: you had like you didn't have four, You had like this,

697
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: I mean you to have like three like most people

698
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: thought you had like this four headed monster. Yeah, for

699
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: the most part, you lost two of those. And then

700
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: you look at Kelling Mouren, you say, technically three if

701
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: you want to talk about Michael Gallop, right, yeah, So,

702
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: and then you look at Kelling Moon and you say,

703
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: I want what you gave me last year. Yeah, that's good. Now,

704
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: it's a good point. Yeah. So with all of that

705
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: being said, what about Mike McCarthy, Where would you grade

706
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: mister McCarthy head coach making his return back to his

707
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: old stopping grounds, lambeau Field this week. Isaiah, It's a

708
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: hard one. It's hard. It's hard to rate a head

709
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: coach that seemingly has a really good, you know, coordinators

710
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: underneath them. It's really difficult. Um, you just gave one

711
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: of them a sea going to the coordinators. Yeah, I mean,

712
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: but he's still really good. He just hasn't shown it,

713
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: you know, from last year. Um, I'm inclined to give McCarthy.

714
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm inclined to give him an a plus. Wow. Seem

715
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: what he and his staff has overcame this year to

716
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: hold that ship together, to keep these guys focused. I

717
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: know the feeling in locker rooms when you lose your

718
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: you know, you you're one of your main players, not

719
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: even necessarily your quarina, but one of your main dog

720
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: out for that. Yeah, I mean when you lose that,

721
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean you talk about the camaraderie, you talk about

722
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: the outlook, you talk about the inspiration all those kind

723
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: of things go down the freaking shoot, right. Fans felt it,

724
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: this locker room didn't show it. So something within this

725
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: organization kept them afloat something that's going on in that

726
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: locker room, kept them focused, kept them dialed in, kept

727
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: them detailed oriented, and they overcame. And now that they

728
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: have their guys back, we're seeing the outcome of it. Right,

729
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: So I have no choice but to give him an

730
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: A plus because I've seen nothing else to take anything

731
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: away from him. I'll give him the A. I'll take

732
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: the plus away. Well, I'll give him an A for

733
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: everything that Isaiah just said, but again to echo his

734
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: point you lose, to echo his point, but also to

735
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: build up on the point that I just made in

736
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: losing Amari Cooper and losing Cedric Wilson and the ladder

737
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: of the Free Agency, and you definitely weren't expecting that.

738
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: And then the organization and McCarthy they look at Keller

739
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: Moore and they say, hey, we need the same type

740
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: of prolific offense, and Kellen couldn't do it right. So

741
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: then they lose QB one Alpha DAK for several games.

742
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: And on top of this, this is all happening following

743
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: what had to be the biggest migraine of an off

744
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: season in McCarthy's career. And I know it's arguable because

745
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: of what was happening in Green Bay before he departed,

746
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: but let's say it's one of the most the biggest

747
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 1: migraines because all he's heard all offseason Sean Payton rumors,

748
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: and then when Dan Quinn was retained in the comments

749
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: from Jerry Jones about of course everybody wants to coach

750
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and if you're McCarthy, you're like, come on, like,

751
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: what's a guy gotta do? Like can I at least

752
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 1: get to the season and prove myself? And then just

753
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: last week we're talking about McCarthy arguably being in the conversation,

754
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: probably won't win, but justifiable he's in the conversation for

755
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: head coach of the Year right now because of what

756
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: he was able to keep the Cowboys from doing, which

757
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: was stirred into the iceberg. Right, I'm not going to

758
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: add the plus now. Here's why I won't add the

759
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 1: plus back, only because I feel like those times this

760
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: season when Ken Lamore should have gotten this Pow Pow

761
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 1: spanked one or two of those times it didn't happen.

762
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: It should have and maybe the Cowboys only have one loss, right,

763
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Philadelphia, right, that's why they lost against Philadelphia.

764
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: You saw Cooper Rush was not having a good amount

765
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: let's call it what it was. He was having a

766
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: really bad, bad game, and you kept tasking him with

767
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: throwing the ball. And by the time you figured out

768
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be running if Mike McCarthy. By the time

769
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy went in there and spanked the power pow, Yeah,

770
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: they started to come back, but too little, too late

771
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: defense start. You really think they were gonna beat Philly

772
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: like that? They could have, Yeah, they could have. Absolutely

773
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: they could have. I think they could have too in

774
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: that game specifically, but they didn't. So disagree. So a

775
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: I'll delete the plus only because I love how Mike

776
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: McCarthy has kept the locker room afloat, and he's hailed

777
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: Kelling more accountable. But hold him accountable one more time.

778
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: You could get that plus back. You'll get that plus back.

779
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: I'll make mine quick. I think you take a look

780
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 1: at some of the teams that the Cowboys have a

781
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 1: better record than Tampa Bay. They've got their quarterback just fine.

782
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: I mean, he's had a rough year, but still got

783
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: their quarterback. Seattle they don't have their quarterback from last year.

784
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: They've been bawling out with Geno Smith. But you're still

785
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: better than they are. The Rams they've got their quarterback.

786
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: Guess what, they're three and five. Green Bay they've got

787
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame quarterback. Three and six. You play

788
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: them this week, Gotta beat them. Can't overlook those guys. Arizona,

789
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: they've got their guys three and six. You lost your

790
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: QB one, you lost your guy, and you won four

791
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 1: of those five games. Give me an a plus for

792
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: for Mike Lancarthur yea. Their job he has done has

793
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: been phenomenal. Right now, right now that you have the

794
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: third best record in the NFC, you are squarely in

795
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 1: the hunt. And when we come back here on Talking Cowboys,

796
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: is it one seed or bust for Dallas this season,

797
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: we'll be we'll talk about it. Right after this, Todd

798
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: thought it would be secure to jog in the cheetah Savannah.

799
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought online was reliable.

800
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: And Todd is trying to be faster than this cheetah

801
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 1: that can run eighty miles per hour. But the good

802
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: news is Todd has at and T five G. It

803
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the best

804
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: thing to do is stop running and toss her the

805
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: backpack with the beef stew at and T five G Fast, reliable, secure,

806

861
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 1: Coffee Company, the official coffee of the Dallas Cowboys. Playoff

862
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: picture Right now for the NFC, Philadelphia, the one seed Minnesota,

863
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: the two seed Seattle would be the three seed, the

864
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: Seahawks doing some work at six and three. Tampa Bay

865
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: is a four seed as they are leading the A

866
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: or the NFC South rather and then five, six, seven Dallas,

867
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: New York, San Francisco. Those are the three So right

868
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: now you would play Tampa Bay on the road in

869
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:10,800
Speaker 1: your first playoff game. That's what that would look like.

870
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: So is it one seed or bust for the Cowboys

871
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 1: because Philadelphia is two games ahead right now. If you

872
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: have a chance to win the division, you may have

873
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: to be the number one seed in the NFC because

874
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: you play Minnesota in a couple of weeks. You would

875
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: have to beat them to even be in the conversation.

876
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: Philadelphia has already beaten Minnesota. That's Minnesota's only lost this season.

877
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: So if you win the division, are you winning the

878
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 1: NFC at the same time. I mean, are you the

879
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: one seed in the NFC if you win the division?

880
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,439
Speaker 1: If you don't, then you're the five seed. I don't

881
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,919
Speaker 1: think you have to win a division to the conference, huster. See.

882
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 1: I don't think you have to win the conference and

883
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,280
Speaker 1: get the number one seed in order for the Cowboys

884
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 1: to make a potential playoff run. Obviously, so you ignore

885
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: the question completely and just go straight to playoffs, you're

886
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 1: gonna make regardless. Ask it again. So I'm asking is

887
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: it one or the other? Are you either the one

888
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: seed or the five seed? Because of how good Philadelphia

889
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: has been so far? I think Philadelphia stumbles. Okay, oh

890
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 1: there you go. I said this a couple of weeks ago.

891
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,320
Speaker 1: They're going to stumble. They're not going seventeen and no,

892
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: they're not going sixteen and one. That they're not going

893
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: fourteen and two. I'll give it. Does Dallas beat Philadelphia

894
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 1: next time they face each absolutely, that's what you want

895
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: to get agreed to and handily. And we'll get to

896
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 1: that Christmas Eve. So I think Philadelphia is going to stumble,

897
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: and it's inevitable. And then they stumble, then the top

898
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: seed is up for grabs, and you know at the

899
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: same time. So it's the top of the NFC East,

900
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 1: right because Philadelphia is only two games up, two games

901
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: up right now, and I'll win over you at the

902
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: same time, fair enough to get one of those back.

903
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 1: You're gonna get one of those back on Christmas Eve.

904
00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: The Giants are going to Giant. They're doing it right now,

905
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: out right in front of us, right ATV Rise and

908
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,439
Speaker 1: had that. So yeah, the division is still well in hand,

909
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: and you know, yeah Philly stumbles. What do you think

910
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: you have a chance. You definitely have a chance. But

911
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 1: obviously you got to take care of two really good teams,

912
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:28,439
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and Minnesota. So yeah, I and a desperate Green

913
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: Bay team. Yeah, they're desperate. They're desperate. They're very desperate,

914
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: but they unfortunately the desperation doesn't get you victories, so

915
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:36,280
Speaker 1: you know, and they don't have the weapons to compete

916
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: with Dallas. Just keep it one. See it's so wide open,

917
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 1: is street? It really is. We talked about again hashtag

918
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,240
Speaker 1: keep the energy. We talked about how legit the Minnesota

919
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 1: Vikings are. I guess what. They almost gave up. The

920
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: gave up the goose yesterday in Washington, and yeah they

921
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: eked it out. And don't don't ever apologize for a win.

922
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying Minnesota should apologize where they win.

923
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is these teams that you know

924
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: everyone is saying is super contenders and things like that.

925
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: You almost got dropped by the Washington Commanders. So you

926
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: know that that game in Minnesota, a place where the

927
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys have played will at several times, looks a good

928
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 1: bit easier. At Green Bay, it's in shambles right now.

929
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is go finish them off right

930
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 1: and wait, keep doing what you need to do, and

931
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: wait for the inevitability of Philadelphia stumbling. It's going to happen.

932
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: So Philadelphia schedule Washington, Indie, Green Bay, Tennessee. Those are

933
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: their next four games, pretty pretty easy games, and then

934
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: final five games New York, Chicago, Dallas, New Orleans, New York.

935
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: So they played the Giants twice. They played Dallas, of

936
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: course on Christmas Eve. And don't shake your head at

937
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: the Titans. Yeah they challenged the Chiefs last night, so

938
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: got got all the way up there put them into overtime.

939
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 1: So I'm telling you, Cowboys gotta play the Titans, right,

940
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: But he primetime games, I'm saying, don't don't lump the

941
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: Titans in with those bottom of the barrel NFL team.

942
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: Beat Minnesota, beat Philly. No, that's all I beat green Bay,

943
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 1: beat Minnesota unless you are you sitting up for Green

944
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:14,919
Speaker 1: Bay this week. That's the only chance they got this week.

945
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: They don't have anybody. We'll get into the predicative people. Yeah,

946
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: we'll talk plenty about that matchup. We're gonna talk about

947
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: that matchup. You know they're gonna be up to play

948
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: because it's Mike McCarthy and there's a couple of guys

949
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: that are still hanging around from the McCarthy era. McCarthy

950
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You talk about it all the time. Confidence,

951
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: I know, and desperation are two different scary bonsters, just different.

952
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: It's Dallas's very motivated when you're playing, when you love

953
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: your coach, you're a plus coach, and you're coming off

954
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: of a bye, You're well rested, you're feeling good, and

955
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: you know how much this means to him, trust me,

956
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 1: and it also helps the Green Bay. You're gonna be

957
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: Green Bay. They don't trust each other. Those players don't.

958
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: Rogers doesn't trust his receivers or his offensive. His receivers

959
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 1: don't know what he's doing right, and they're tired of

960
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,840
Speaker 1: hearing him throw shade while he throws interceptions. And the

961
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: defense is just sitting there like, y'all can't get it together,

962
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: and we're tired, and they're all looking at the hit

963
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: coach and he's like, man, y'all can get me fired,

964
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: So go get obd I like it. Here we go.
