Speaker 1: conference there because he was getting honored in Denver before
Speaker 1: he was in Dallas. And uh, yeah, he spoke to
Speaker 1: feeling good. Back's not an issue anymore. Romo a year
Speaker 1: ago held a very special press conference on a Tuesday afternoon. Boy,
Speaker 1: take just couldn't wait to get this well, you know,
Speaker 1: asked he was starting at nine oh five this morning.
Speaker 1: Nine oh five, guys, you guys can't see Mickey's desk,
Speaker 1: but if you could, one of the biggest headlines above
Speaker 1: his computers, Romo says farewell, which was about a month premature,
Speaker 1: I think. Yeah, is that why you love it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Because it was wrong. It was the beginning of the end. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do he defeats Truman? Yeah? He did retire though he did.
Speaker 1: They broke the story like did you a month ahead
Speaker 1: of time? When when the newspapers mess up, you kind
Speaker 1: of take some Oh, I've got some great ones that Dewey, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's your Missouri guy. Right, guys probably need to help
Speaker 1: some people out here on that one. Truman was elected president.
Speaker 1: But the night, yeah, I know, we had, we had
Speaker 1: history class, you did. Yeah? Do you see what Sports
Speaker 1: Center put on Snapchat last night? Was absolutely ridiculous. They
Speaker 1: had to defeats Truman. The cut line on the picture
Speaker 1: after the cut Kentucky Derby one Sunday morning in the
Speaker 1: Chicago Tribune. Had they wanted to say long shot wins
Speaker 1: Kentucky Derby? Right, Yeah, Well there was the oh wasn't
Speaker 1: in there? Yeah? And it was an eye I swear
Speaker 1: to god, it was the funniest thing I think I'd
Speaker 1: ever said. He getting fired over that one. I think. So, yeah, Hey,
Speaker 1: do you know Howard Eskin? I do know Howard iss friends.
Speaker 1: I know who he is. You wouldn't call yourself friends.
Speaker 1: I don't know him, you know. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: even know i'd know him well enough to say hi.
Speaker 1: But I know who he is. See the tweets this weekend.
Speaker 1: H I've been going at it. He's been doing this
Speaker 1: for twenty years, twenty five years, same as Jelot Kataldi,
Speaker 1: the radio guy on the Whip the hates me just
Speaker 1: you know, he just wants to whip the cowboys and
Speaker 1: that's that. That was his gig back in ninety four.
Speaker 1: And you know these guys, Oh yeah, I was in Philly.
Speaker 1: I was in Philly for a year. I know all
Speaker 1: these guys. They hate you, Ria Hughes Angelo. Yeah, who
Speaker 1: was the other guy with Angelo? For I got the
Speaker 1: other guy? He was Almore Gandy And there was one
Speaker 1: more that was Aria Hughes writer the guy but he
Speaker 1: he did radio with yea with Angelo. Yeah. Another guy
Speaker 1: you were talking to you earlier, Brian was Daryl's Johnston.
Speaker 1: I was you were and he was telling you about Philly.
Speaker 1: What was he saying about them now. He said he
Speaker 1: had him during Arizona, and I was sitting down kind
Speaker 1: of watching to see what Kansas City did to him
Speaker 1: in week two. Kind of got through that a little bit,
Speaker 1: and and uh, but you know, he was talking about
Speaker 1: the big play, big play players, you know, Nelson Aguilar
Speaker 1: and those guys. But you know they've also had their
Speaker 1: share of injuries though too, you know, losing their offensive
Speaker 1: tackle and losing their linebackers. So you know, I know
Speaker 1: he was doing a show, an insider show with I
Speaker 1: think it's on on the weekends that we all night
Speaker 1: need to kind of check in Wednesday night. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: on on the weekends, Insiders, a Wednesday night show. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure that. Yeah, he used to be on Wednesday Night.
Speaker 1: But he was talking about Jordan Hicks, the linebacker. You know,
Speaker 1: they've kind of lost to that. They're kind of like
Speaker 1: they're Sean Lee yep. And then also you know with
Speaker 1: Jason Peters and Darren Sprowles, Darren Sprowls as well, they've
Speaker 1: had their share. Yeah, they have. They're eating one. So
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's kind of what I was saying yesterday.
Speaker 1: What you always say, nobody feels sorry for it. Nobody does,
Speaker 1: but it is fact and there's no avoiding it that
Speaker 1: when you lose three all pro players is three. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Bailey's have been a pro bowler. Bowler, yea four. There's
Speaker 1: another guy in the right now. Yeah, A liar taught
Speaker 1: me a liar to my face one time. Wow, I
Speaker 1: was working to Philly, Phillies. They didn't like me at all,
Speaker 1: those people in Philly. And you know we had a
Speaker 1: good draft for him a half to those guys work
Speaker 1: in Philly. Yeah, it was. It was a tough place.
Speaker 1: But no, they've They've had their share those up to them.
Speaker 1: You know what, though, this is I'm I'm staying I'm
Speaker 1: a stand record on this. I'm not being a homer
Speaker 1: on this. But I do like Dallas's chances in this game.
Speaker 1: I really do. I'm a I'm a big believer of
Speaker 1: back against the Wall. I'm a big believer of that.
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a believer of you know, players have pride,
Speaker 1: You figure things out, you know, Garrett today, Garrett and
Speaker 1: I have had our differences. You know, I've been a minute.
Speaker 1: Mickey and I have had shows together where I've tried
Speaker 1: to fire and Mickey's fired back. At me and knowing
Speaker 1: all that, and I appreciate Mickey for what he's done
Speaker 1: with that. But Garrett today said something that I didn't
Speaker 1: think he would say. He says, hey, we got to
Speaker 1: do a better job a coach, and we we we
Speaker 1: didn't adjust quick enough. We didn't we did not get
Speaker 1: to where we needed to do with to help Chaz Green.
Speaker 1: You know. And I am iron for saying that, because
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer. If I'm wrong, I'll say I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: Do you think he would have said that after the
Speaker 1: game or he's more so saying that after he got
Speaker 1: a chance to really watched the tape. Well, he knew,
Speaker 1: I think on the plane flight home when you guys
Speaker 1: were flying back from Atlanta, you know, he knew what
Speaker 1: was what happened. I mean, he's got the pad in
Speaker 1: front of his lap. He's like, you know, what could
Speaker 1: we have done differently? You know, he's talking about the
Speaker 1: ball coming out quick quicker? You know, Dak and I
Speaker 1: wrote about you know, Alfred Moore stumbled in the flat
Speaker 1: on a ball that would have been out in that sack,
Speaker 1: that was on the twelve yard line. But I admired
Speaker 1: Garrett for admitting that well they did. They did give
Speaker 1: him help, not often enough. Yeah, that's what they said. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and there were times where that, Okay, we gotta get Dak,
Speaker 1: gotta get the ball out quickly, and there wasn't time
Speaker 1: for Dak to even do that. Yeah, you know, so
Speaker 1: sometimes that's something that goes against your adjustments. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: get comfortable on that sack that on the twelve yard line.
Speaker 1: He tried to come back inside to Dez and you
Speaker 1: could pull that off, and you got Tyron Smith out
Speaker 1: there protecting your backside. You can look flat to middle
Speaker 1: if you know you got an all pro tackle standing
Speaker 1: out there keeping guys wide. I'm sure they went back
Speaker 1: and looked at it and said, now, looking back, Byron
Speaker 1: Bell allowed two sacks too. But they could have looked
Speaker 1: at halftime and said, hind site, maybe should Bell needs
Speaker 1: to play, We should have made a change earlier in
Speaker 1: addition to help whoever's playing left tackle. It's not could
Speaker 1: be easy this week with I think that speaks what
Speaker 1: they thought of Byron Bell got not putting him in sooner. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: it was a three point game at halftime, and I
Speaker 1: think they felt like Chads might be able to settle
Speaker 1: in here. We're not out of this game. Okay, what
Speaker 1: do you guys think happened with him? We've seen him play,
Speaker 1: we've seen him play. Well, yeah, what what happened? Technique
Speaker 1: was awful? But why you've seen you've seen that, You've
Speaker 1: remember remembered training camp where you're he gets over extended,
Speaker 1: he's playing on one foot, he's his head's down, he's
Speaker 1: lunge and he's reaching. Did he forget how to play?
Speaker 1: I think it's snowballed on him. That's exactly right, and
Speaker 1: his technique got worse and worse. Whereas whereas LiOD Collins
Speaker 1: to me, has one or two bad plays in a
Speaker 1: row and then all of a sudden it comes back
Speaker 1: to it. He figures it out. He could self adjust.
Speaker 1: If you haven't played a lot of Snaps, it's it's anything.
Speaker 1: It's like, if you haven't played a lot of Snaps,
Speaker 1: you don't have anything to hang your hat on. You
Speaker 1: don't have to you don't have that ability to say, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: now I gotta kick wider. I got a kick Wuider,
Speaker 1: I got okay, hand up. You know he once it
Speaker 1: went bad, it just went really bad. We all know
Speaker 1: that I'm not telling you guys anything you don't know.
Speaker 1: But to answer your question, I don't think he had
Speaker 1: anything to draw back from. And I know he's played
Speaker 1: a couple of games, made a couple of starts, but
Speaker 1: the coaches had confidence in him going into the game.
Speaker 1: They made him the starter. They said it was never
Speaker 1: gonna be barn Belts was going to be the starter.
Speaker 1: It was gonna be Chaz Green, you know. And I
Speaker 1: think the coaching staff honestly was surprised it was as
Speaker 1: bad as it was. That's why I think Garrett had
Speaker 1: the reaction that he did. He's like, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: we should have helped the guy that's on us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I forget Mick a while back. Gosh, I can't believe
Speaker 1: you're already in week eleven. But there was a time
Speaker 1: about it where I said, Okay, how are they gonna
Speaker 1: help this guy? And you just said they're gonna put
Speaker 1: more tight ends over there. Yeah. And I don't remember
Speaker 1: if we were talking about Jonathan Cooper or who we
Speaker 1: were talking about. Maybe it was it was a matchup
Speaker 1: one time. Well, you know, because Lyle has been going
Speaker 1: to get some tough Maybe it was Lyle rush Is
Speaker 1: early in the season, helped him against Vaughan and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know you thought, okay, well if they can
Speaker 1: do that, then you felt a little bit better. So
Speaker 1: I've been meaning to look this up. So the first
Speaker 1: three games he played left guard, right, okay, right, then
Speaker 1: he's inactive and then that was the game he spit
Speaker 1: the bit on Friday, right, And then he played no
Speaker 1: plays against Green Bay. Oh wait, I'm sorry that was
Speaker 1: a game that he got hurt on Friday the hip. No, no,
Speaker 1: it was it was the Rams Rams zeroed. Okay. Then
Speaker 1: he played twelve twelve plays against San Francisco. Yeah, zero six, yeah,
Speaker 1: forty six. Yeah. So if you think about it, if
Speaker 1: he had last time he had played that extensively at
Speaker 1: left tackle to start against the Bears, made Bears or
Speaker 1: the San Francisco whichever was the fourth game last year,
Speaker 1: and then he was inactive the rest of the year. Right,
Speaker 1: because over a year, you know, saying he didn't have
Speaker 1: anything to fall back on, rights, It's almost like he
Speaker 1: just got so frustrated he it paralyzed him. That makes sense.
Speaker 1: His technique got worse as the game went on, I think,
Speaker 1: and he started off really very well early. I mean,
Speaker 1: remember they had the off sides that were the free
Speaker 1: play were dacked, threw it down to Deaz. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was the first play that he got smoked on. It
Speaker 1: was that play. And then he had back to back
Speaker 1: on that drive. Yeah, and you're like going, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: but he got he you know, it's like that that
Speaker 1: that off side play kind of got him. But if
Speaker 1: you know the passes, the curl passes and stuff that
Speaker 1: were thrown to Daz, he was okay. The position, you know,
Speaker 1: fat hands, everything was where it needed to be. But
Speaker 1: then like say, it's snowballed for him, and it seemed
Speaker 1: like the wider Clayborn got the worst he got. He
Speaker 1: couldn't get to him, and then to get to him,
Speaker 1: he had the lunge to stop him because he has
Speaker 1: no confidence in his power to sit down on somebody.
Speaker 1: Here's an example. Think about Ann's outside. He gets the
Speaker 1: holding penelt because I saw, I watched, and I saw
Speaker 1: what Bell did. And you know, he gave up two
Speaker 1: sacks too, but he sat and it just kind of
Speaker 1: rode with them. That's what you gotta do. And and
Speaker 1: and chads just like his feet were stuck. Confidence, yeah, confidence,
Speaker 1: give up four sounds. Okay, so hang on, just like
Speaker 1: think about training camp. When we said about Taco. When
Speaker 1: things weren't going right, right, he didn't trust his technique.
Speaker 1: He went back to what he thought. He just kind
Speaker 1: of his instinct. That's what happened to Chats magnify that
Speaker 1: by giving up four sacks on a nationally televised game.
Speaker 1: So I mean, what do you think? What do you
Speaker 1: think happens? Do you do you say I know this
Speaker 1: guy can play better? Do you stubbornly say or do
Speaker 1: you just judge from practice and say out because practice
Speaker 1: the speed is not the same as the game. No,
Speaker 1: but you want my you want my real opinion. Yeah,
Speaker 1: coach brought us. I think they go back to Green.
Speaker 1: See that's what I'm thinking. I really do, And I
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen. I'll tell you why the uproar.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why they go back to Green because
Speaker 1: I believe that they did the same thing with Jonathan
Speaker 1: Cooper when things weren't going well. They didn't. They didn't
Speaker 1: they they didn't waiver. But it's a less that was
Speaker 1: a less high profile issue. The five offensive lineman of
Speaker 1: the five offensive lineman. I'm with you because I just
Speaker 1: keep going back to what Frank Pollock, the old line
Speaker 1: coach said after the game. Well, go ahead, you go
Speaker 1: back to Frank Pollock and then I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: he said. We don't want to lose him. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think by benching him, he's already lost the left guard job.
Speaker 1: He started out as the guy there, played three games.
Speaker 1: Then it goes to Cooper. Now this happens to him.
Speaker 1: They invested a third round pick in him. If you
Speaker 1: you bench him now, I think they feel like this
Speaker 1: is a guess. They try to coach him up this
Speaker 1: week and get ready to play again. I don't think
Speaker 1: he lost the left guard spot. He got hurt, well,
Speaker 1: he got while he pipped and Cooper goes in and
Speaker 1: then it's like, see there's step doubt. Now he's created
Speaker 1: some doubt about not his health but right technique. So
Speaker 1: that but I still feel like that they'll go back
Speaker 1: to him and they see and people will go nuts.
Speaker 1: Mickey's right. What I liked about it also is he
Speaker 1: didn't cower afterwards. He stood there in the locker room
Speaker 1: and spoke. Yeah. So I'll give him that. Um, that's
Speaker 1: kind of encouraging, right that he for his mentality. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that he stood there. Bad day at the office kind
Speaker 1: of there was fifth day. There were fifty nine snaps
Speaker 1: in the game, I believe, right, he played forty six
Speaker 1: right at four like really bad plays. Yeah, but when
Speaker 1: you're an offensive lineman, right, can't do that. See that's
Speaker 1: what you could strike out four times in a baseball game, right,
Speaker 1: you don't hurt the next guy up? Yeah right, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was the way he just stuck out. But you
Speaker 1: made a good point saying it's high profile. The left
Speaker 1: guard spot hasn't felt as high profile this season because
Speaker 1: it was empty. You know, there was no one there.
Speaker 1: You needed someone there, You needed someone to just do
Speaker 1: the job. When Chad's green is going in for Tyron
Speaker 1: Smith and all pro people see the blatant difference. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: And you know, like we gotta be careful. And like
Speaker 1: you said, it wasn't just left tackle that Zach Martin
Speaker 1: gave up a sack in that game. The offensive line
Speaker 1: is hol didn't play well. But you point to the
Speaker 1: one issue that really didn't allow your offense to function,
Speaker 1: and it was the sacks that Chaz gave up. I
Speaker 1: mean that play down there that ended up with the
Speaker 1: field goal miss. Those are opportunities that they missed and
Speaker 1: they just didn't allow their offense to function because of
Speaker 1: that one spot. And it is Dak's blind spot, and
Speaker 1: it's You're about to face a really good defensive front
Speaker 1: again this week. So it's I got to figure it out.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess, I guess Tyron can solve all
Speaker 1: if you can get back to practice tomorrow, you know.
Speaker 1: But the thing about it is, though, too, is the
Speaker 1: coach is now really that's on them too. Yeah. That
Speaker 1: that that That's why I wanted to say what I said,
Speaker 1: because again I've had problems with coach Garrett before, but
Speaker 1: I feel like though that he by them standing up
Speaker 1: there and saying, you know, we got to help them.
Speaker 1: We got to help him if he's playing again. And
Speaker 1: I think they'll have a better plan. They have max
Speaker 1: protection packages where they could put they can make they
Speaker 1: get in thirteen personnel and all of suff they want
Speaker 1: to get Witten out. They can have Hannah and swaying
Speaker 1: those guys staying on that side make it a little wider.
Speaker 1: But you know, the thing about Rob what Rob Sanding
Speaker 1: gets the Eagles. You got to pick and choose who
Speaker 1: you want to take out of this game, right, you
Speaker 1: know they're one of their best rushers is Brandon Graham.
Speaker 1: He's gonna play over Collin. Collins might need help. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. So you got to think about Okay,
Speaker 1: Vinny Curry on the other side. Vinny Curry's got quickness
Speaker 1: and stuff. But you know Chazz can you know? I mean,
Speaker 1: that's the biggest problem with Chazz. We didn't see him
Speaker 1: get out of his stance quick enough. That's that's depth
Speaker 1: with Try and get the guy wider. Okay, help that
Speaker 1: side with the tide end. If you want to chip
Speaker 1: to the back to the other but guys get open,
Speaker 1: try and find a way to get open in that
Speaker 1: secondary so the ball can get out. Two things. One,
Speaker 1: if I was the quarterback, that wouldn't have been my
Speaker 1: blind side when I got the snap. First thing I
Speaker 1: do be looking left. Yeah, I know you're supposed to
Speaker 1: trust the guy you get comfortable though your dat gemfortable.
Speaker 1: There was time if if I got hit that many times,
Speaker 1: I'd be looking over there. There was a time last year.
Speaker 1: And it's always funny. If you guys listen to the
Speaker 1: press conferences post game at AT and T Stadium, there's
Speaker 1: a guy from Gilmer who asked him pretty funny questions sometimes.
Speaker 1: And last year he asked Dak questions, yeah, right, statements, statements.
Speaker 1: And last year he just opened it up and said,
Speaker 1: is this the best offensive line you've ever played with?
Speaker 1: And Dak just laughed. It was like, yeah, these are
Speaker 1: professional football players. The last offensive Hotton was pretty good.
Speaker 1: Now you know, now the other Cowboys team's pretty good too.
Speaker 1: The other thing, if if you're if you're going to
Speaker 1: have to consistently help both tackles, like you play two
Speaker 1: tight ends, one on each side. Who's going out for passes? Yeah,
Speaker 1: two guys, two guys against six in the secondary, right,
Speaker 1: so you're tipping your hand. You can't you can't max
Speaker 1: protect every play. And what happens if you send the
Speaker 1: running back over there all the time and you got
Speaker 1: three wide and they blitzed, Well, who's picking up the blitzer?
Speaker 1: So it's you're not you're now you're now dealing with
Speaker 1: problems that the New York Giants deal with every week, right,
Speaker 1: and and and and so we's not as simple as
Speaker 1: going playing basketball and say we're going to double team
Speaker 1: that guy. That's why I asked going on me, that's
Speaker 1: why I ask Gareth the question about sometimes and I
Speaker 1: said it yesterday. Sometimes offensive lineman don't want help because
Speaker 1: they end up getting in the way, like a back
Speaker 1: chipping gets in the way, a tiding gets in the way,
Speaker 1: and you can't go through your technique the whole way
Speaker 1: that you need to do. So obviously the guy needs help.
Speaker 1: They need to figure it out. Yeah, all right, Well
Speaker 1: let's take our first break here in the SMBBC Market studio.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we will have so much more. Yes,
Speaker 1: this is the second week the team will play without
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott and how will they do? And no, shan
Speaker 1: Lee much more to come. It can be hard to

Speaker 1: socks are wonderful. Yeah, my dad could use that on
Speaker 1: sixteen hour playing trips. Yeah, they're comfortable, so probably be
Speaker 1: pretty good for him. Very supportive, very supportive. All right,
Speaker 1: well I hinted at it. I want to get back
Speaker 1: to the running back top. Yeah. A lot of people
Speaker 1: weren't too pleased to see with Alfred Morrison. You know what.
Speaker 1: Robbie wrote a great article about him, even admitting it
Speaker 1: that he didn't feel like they got the running game
Speaker 1: started off, you know, started off so slow and they
Speaker 1: didn't really get it going until the second half. So
Speaker 1: how can they adjust that for this week, especially when
Speaker 1: you're trying to adjust things on the old line, Get
Speaker 1: that right? Yeah, find an injunction for Zeke. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: need to go back to that. M Bonk. I just
Speaker 1: like the easy answers. Yeahrez to Rob. You know what,
Speaker 1: I think I think that this is going to sound
Speaker 1: really strange, but I think the Cowboys initially need to
Speaker 1: come out throwing the football in this game, yep, because
Speaker 1: they banged their head against the wall. Yeah early with
Speaker 1: their two tight ends, full back, three tight ends, and
Speaker 1: all they did was put eight nine guys on the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Yeah. I think that if you look
Speaker 1: at the where the Eagles have had some issues though,
Speaker 1: is when teams I always like that when I get
Speaker 1: inside the thirty, you know, quarterback rating goes up against
Speaker 1: the Eagles, they have they have some issues down there
Speaker 1: when you know, so it's a matter of getting the
Speaker 1: football into that area. But I think that Dallas is
Speaker 1: going to have to do some things. They're gonna have
Speaker 1: to show some things early that they can protect, and
Speaker 1: they're gonna make Jim Schwartz the defensive corner and say, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to come after you. And that could
Speaker 1: free up if you know, maybe you can, maybe you
Speaker 1: could pop a couple of runs here and there. But
Speaker 1: I don't think Dallas can get into a game where
Speaker 1: they just go ahead and say straight run, straight run,
Speaker 1: straight run. If you have Elliott, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1: Sixty one percent of the time you do it on
Speaker 1: first downs. But I don't think in this game you
Speaker 1: can necessarily get in a lot of second and long,
Speaker 1: third and long situation. That's just not that. That's not
Speaker 1: gonna be the recipe for a victory here. It is
Speaker 1: fair to say they were a little stubborn. They tried
Speaker 1: to do what they wanted to. They try to run
Speaker 1: their office early earlier, they tried to. They tried to,
Speaker 1: They didn't Scotland a hand, didn't want to deviate from
Speaker 1: what they do. They wanted to run their offense. They
Speaker 1: wanted to with different backs, and they wound up with
Speaker 1: their two backs had what eight or nine yards at halftime? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and and the best running game they had was Dak scrambling. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So yeah, I may have to change it up a
Speaker 1: little bit, change it up, change the way you do it.
Speaker 1: Maybe be if past first offense. But again that goes
Speaker 1: back to can you protect for Dak well, is he
Speaker 1: gonna be scrambling again? Play? Actually just go play action.
Speaker 1: I mean that's something that if it, if it, if
Speaker 1: they're gonna be his quick game with Witton, you know
Speaker 1: that that looked like it gets some traction. The other
Speaker 1: day coach was asked about Beasley today. You know, find
Speaker 1: a way to get beady, Yeah, Beasley's you know, find
Speaker 1: a way to to to kind of work him open.
Speaker 1: If you can, you know, it's it's gonna be difficult.
Speaker 1: I mean, this Eagle defense, I'm not telling you something.
Speaker 1: Everybody are you. It's a good defense, it really really is.
Speaker 1: But it's not one of those defenses though that you
Speaker 1: could just sit there. Oh they're gonna completely shut us down.
Speaker 1: I feel like that Dallas can do some things in
Speaker 1: the passing game and if that opens up some of
Speaker 1: the things that they need to do in the running game.
Speaker 1: But we saw with how they got h Alfred going
Speaker 1: there with some couple of but chunk runs. You know,
Speaker 1: that's what they need to think about doing. And I
Speaker 1: don't know if this is a product of the Eagles
Speaker 1: scoring a lot of points their second in the league,
Speaker 1: by the way, Yeah, thirty one in point four a game.
Speaker 1: But they're number one against the run, right sixty six
Speaker 1: yards though. Sometimes you know, you scoring that many points,
Speaker 1: people go, what the hell I got to throw the ball?
Speaker 1: It wasn't losing tracks, you can hear. Yeah. The thing
Speaker 1: about it is, though, you get a team that scores
Speaker 1: a lot of points. It takes you out of the
Speaker 1: running game because you're by So I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's a product. We saw that last year against Green Bay, right,
Speaker 1: remember yeah, they were number one against the run and
Speaker 1: the Cowboys ran for nearly two hundred yards. Right. But again,
Speaker 1: if if, if you're not if you can't do it,
Speaker 1: and they don't want you to do it, right, they're
Speaker 1: gonna stop you. Right, So Jimmy Joe to throw the ball.
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking the obvious thing they're thinking right now is, oh,
Speaker 1: the trouble they had protecting the quarterback. Why would they throw?
Speaker 1: Why would they throw? They're gonna come out and run
Speaker 1: the ball, right, you might have to do opposite, right,
Speaker 1: I agree? But Beasley, what do you think spend the
Speaker 1: issue with twenty because Todd Archer brought it up in
Speaker 1: the press. Corms. He's got twenty four catches through nine games.
Speaker 1: He was the team leader last year was seventy five. Well,
Speaker 1: a lot of those games where he had huge production
Speaker 1: was when Dez Bryant was out. Very good, thank you
Speaker 1: you got one? Thanks? Yeah, but just one. Sea. I
Speaker 1: tried to be nice, you are nice, nice? Just one? Well,
Speaker 1: how many games he was. He missed out four or
Speaker 1: four games, and Beasley ended up being the leading receiver, right,
Speaker 1: but can't can you argue that Dez being there helps
Speaker 1: him as well? I also think when you are the
Speaker 1: leading receiver, then people are going to target you so
Speaker 1: much more. I mean, guys, DeMarcus Lawrence, he is probably
Speaker 1: not going to have the same year next year that
Speaker 1: he's happening this year because people are going to key
Speaker 1: in on him just like they are in Beasley and Rob.
Speaker 1: You talked about it. You said you were seeing him
Speaker 1: double teamed up in Yeah, they more attention, Yeah, they absolutely, Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: Well I just give you one play, and I don't
Speaker 1: say it's happening in every every play. The one you
Speaker 1: brought up about more us falling at the twelve yard line,
Speaker 1: and that's where they wanted to go because that was
Speaker 1: gonna be a big place. So when you look back inside,
Speaker 1: here's Beasley in the middle and there's a linebacker here
Speaker 1: and a linebacker. Yeah, they're gonna bracket him. They're not
Speaker 1: gonna let him have any exit routes. And a lot
Speaker 1: of that probably has and they better get ready for
Speaker 1: it because when they get in those situations without Zeke.
Speaker 1: I don't think those linebackers are gonna work. They're not
Speaker 1: gonna sit there and go, Okay, we better get right
Speaker 1: up at the line of scrimmage so they're gonna bracket him.
Speaker 1: Teams start doing it last year. Yeah, I wonder if
Speaker 1: teams have also thought about just singling death and I
Speaker 1: think they have a little bit. But they still have
Speaker 1: a safety over the top. So you have a better
Speaker 1: chance of doubling Beasley because right, because the safe thought underneath, right,
Speaker 1: it's not vertically down the field. Yeah, So that's why
Speaker 1: I think sometimes you see them when they go three wide.
Speaker 1: They've been putting Butler out there with Terrence and put
Speaker 1: Des in the slot right, And now, okay, if you're
Speaker 1: gonna double them, how are you gonna do that? So
Speaker 1: Butler need to get more tosses to him. I have
Speaker 1: no problems with that. Um seems to make one play
Speaker 1: a game, and he does kind like Brian Brown used
Speaker 1: to in practice, and yeah, he's on your practice squad.
Speaker 1: But you know what I'm saying, you need to find
Speaker 1: ways to get him the ball more down the field. Well,
Speaker 1: everybody's like sucking win through this. No, No, I'm thinking
Speaker 1: and no, I mean I've got no problem with that
Speaker 1: forty yard play. Could have been a major momentum. Oh
Speaker 1: had we talked about the fake punt? Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: that's what he's He's your downfield guy besides Dez. And
Speaker 1: if Dez isn't one hundred percent, I mean you gotta, yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta look to Butler in those situations. Do you
Speaker 1: worry about the offense getting bottled up this week? I
Speaker 1: worry about them being able to establish the run again. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But but see, and that's why I asked about the
Speaker 1: run their run defense being is it? Is there a
Speaker 1: products twenty six against the pass? Yeah, that's I'm saying,
Speaker 1: what are they giving up per carry? That's the more
Speaker 1: better indicator of how good they're runding? Four point eight
Speaker 1: four point four point one eight something like that sounds good?
Speaker 1: Is that right? I mean I know it's I know
Speaker 1: it's Cowboys average in four point eight yards of carry.
Speaker 1: Now most of that is Zeke. Yeah exactly. Yet that
Speaker 1: number of front of you, Mickey, I know you're looking
Speaker 1: for it. Three points opponents? Are the opponents against them
Speaker 1: three point six? Then they're a good run defense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And they've only given up. I think it's four point
Speaker 1: one for a rushing touchdown. I get what you're saying.
Speaker 1: When you're beating the crap out of Denver y one
Speaker 1: twenty three, they're they're in past first mode, right, but
Speaker 1: in their quarterback Denver's quarterback that the heist was awful
Speaker 1: that day. Yeah, well he was bad. Here's the other
Speaker 1: thing I should have looked at. See how many running
Speaker 1: attempts against him? Yeah, I just I just feel like
Speaker 1: though that they've you know, you're gonna have to who's
Speaker 1: the best runner they faced? Anythink Kreem Hunt? Yeah, creem
Speaker 1: Hunt lit him up and in second Hunt that's where
Speaker 1: he arrived. Yeah. Week two they faced one hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty six runs eighty three No, um, how many passes.
Speaker 1: It's like a stat show going on here. I know,
Speaker 1: I know, but it'll prove something. Maybe you make it
Speaker 1: by the numbers, right, you make a good point. They
Speaker 1: are hundred sixty three passes already, they put up thirty
Speaker 1: points plus. This is pretty much And when you do that,
Speaker 1: that's that's great for your run defense because teams are
Speaker 1: you're probably playing from ahead most of the time. So
Speaker 1: this is where this is where I always look at
Speaker 1: I always look at second down. It's like a big
Speaker 1: down for me because you either you had success on first,
Speaker 1: so now you're gonna get trying to convert their nineteenth
Speaker 1: in the league when when you run the ball against
Speaker 1: them on second down, four point three a carry on
Speaker 1: second down. So maybe it is it. Maybe it is like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we have to play call an unconventional game. So when
Speaker 1: they're scoring. They've scored more than thirty points the last
Speaker 1: three games, Yeah, and four of the last five, and
Speaker 1: the one they didn't was twenty eight. Yeah. Do they
Speaker 1: have that broken down by quarters, like how many yards
Speaker 1: you give up? Ter? No, because that would be interesting
Speaker 1: because I would imagine by the third quarter or fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: teams are seeing you got to throw there. Here's another one.
Speaker 1: Here's another one. I love that I talked about that
Speaker 1: they're twenty eighth in the league on when second down conversions.
Speaker 1: So if you get to a manageable down and you
Speaker 1: can you can thirty four percent of the time on
Speaker 1: second down. That's that's twenty eighth in the league. So okay,
Speaker 1: find a way to win on first, convert on second.
Speaker 1: You know, Dallas just needs to get back into the
Speaker 1: rhythm that they had. And I know it's hard without
Speaker 1: and seek, but see that you're what you're saying is
Speaker 1: like you said, you get five yards on first down,
Speaker 1: and then now now you can you you can run
Speaker 1: the ball or you can you know? Yeah, then that
Speaker 1: goes back to personnel. I mean you got to be
Speaker 1: able to do it with different guys now, and will
Speaker 1: you feel shoot flashes of it? Will you feel different
Speaker 1: about this is a stupid question us keep it going,
Speaker 1: you will. You'll obviously feel better about their chances if
Speaker 1: Smith plays, Yes, yes, yeah, always, I feel I'll feel better.
Speaker 1: I want you feel better about them moving the football.
Speaker 1: I won't feel back about the defense, but I'll feel
Speaker 1: better that you could at least get into the twenties
Speaker 1: and possibly have a chance to plan. That's why, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like Sean obviously that's a huge question mark
Speaker 1: sound doesn't sound good for him to No, it's three
Speaker 1: game sets out. But but offensively, to me, it was
Speaker 1: hard to judge the backs because of just how out
Speaker 1: of whack your offense was because you couldn't pass protect.
Speaker 1: And he's a good run blocker too. He's a big
Speaker 1: run blocker for you on the left side. So you
Speaker 1: need to see I need to see him back in
Speaker 1: the game, just see how they function without Zeke, because
Speaker 1: I don't think we got a good barometer of it
Speaker 1: without tiring in the game. But yeah, that's Twitter Pole
Speaker 1: coming up. Not Sean too. I don't they got to
Speaker 1: figure out what to do without him too. And that
Speaker 1: question was brought up to Garrett too. You know, you
Speaker 1: got a couple line backers that were inactive last week?
Speaker 1: What do you do with them? Yeah, he'd play them, Well,
Speaker 1: how do you play him? You know, that's that's the question.
Speaker 1: I wish I could trust Durant. I mean, I trust
Speaker 1: you said it yesterday. I trust the middle. There's a
Speaker 1: reason and coach Garrey came out with the there's things
Speaker 1: to do with special teams. They keep Noah Brown active
Speaker 1: as the six wide receiver even though he plays four
Speaker 1: or five snaps a game on offense and the rest
Speaker 1: on special teams. I get that, but you know, I
Speaker 1: mean I wish I could say I wish it was
Speaker 1: justin Durant from two years ago, three years ago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wish that was the guy that was showing up today.
Speaker 1: You think it's caught up with him two years in
Speaker 1: a row of semi retirement. I mean, yeah, he didn't.
Speaker 1: He didn't have he had he hasn't. He hadn't had
Speaker 1: an offseason with a team for two years in a row.
Speaker 1: He did not practice remember training camp. I don't think
Speaker 1: he ever. He never played any of the preseason games,
Speaker 1: and I don't think I don't think he barely practiced.
Speaker 1: He signed one year deals with the Cowboys in the
Speaker 1: last two julyes right before camp he was retired. Okay,
Speaker 1: so check this out halftime of the Denver game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're up thirty one nine. Yeah, so what do you
Speaker 1: think is happening? That was bad filmed to watch because
Speaker 1: Denver's quarterback situation was just so bad. Early early third
Speaker 1: quarter against San Francisco, it's twenty to nothing and then
Speaker 1: it's twenty seven seven, So what the game? It was
Speaker 1: hard for them. The game that was hard for them
Speaker 1: was the Washington Redskin, the second one. The second Redskin
Speaker 1: game was hard for them because it's a in the third.
Speaker 1: So at halftime it's seventeen ten, there you go, and
Speaker 1: then it's twenty four ten, but then it's twenty four
Speaker 1: seventeen right until they pulled away, right right, right, So
Speaker 1: I mean that this team, I'm telling you there's you
Speaker 1: just gotta get to them. And Arizona. First quarter, it's
Speaker 1: twenty one to nothing, right, and then never got closer
Speaker 1: than twenty one seven, and then it's thirty one seven
Speaker 1: at the end. I remember, I remember that kind of Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like a third and nineteen in that Arizona game,
Speaker 1: and then Aguilar catches it for seventy five yard gaps.
Speaker 1: But what are they doing in those few possessions to
Speaker 1: get it to twenty one nothing? No, I'm shutting down
Speaker 1: the run and then saying I'm saying the disparity between
Speaker 1: run and passed. I get it. In all those games,
Speaker 1: those teams are passing the ball because they're so far behind.
Speaker 1: I get it. Yeah, one hundred and sixty six runs,
Speaker 1: I said, divided by nine. That's that's not even twenty
Speaker 1: runs a game, right, that's less. I mean, if you
Speaker 1: go back and look at the San Francisco game for Dallas,
Speaker 1: when we were talking about the run defense need to
Speaker 1: be better, they were getting gashed a little bit in
Speaker 1: that game too. They put up forty points and one
Speaker 1: by thirty. So you go look at the final stats
Speaker 1: and it's like Oh, San Francisco didn't rush for one
Speaker 1: hundred yards, So yeah, I see what you're saying. And
Speaker 1: they rushed for like one hundred somebody rushed for one
Speaker 1: hundred and three. They did, Washington one of the two did. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Rob Kelly he got injured in that he's out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I ard already he was injured in that Eagles game. Though. Well,
Speaker 1: they got to find a way to run the ball. No, no,
Speaker 1: they do, but but I think sometimes you got Brian said,
Speaker 1: you got to throw the ball, just open it up
Speaker 1: the run. Yeah, to set it up. I mean this
Speaker 1: in this game, you have to again, you're sixty one
Speaker 1: percent run on first down, You've got to Maybe you've
Speaker 1: got to say we we can't without the skill. We're
Speaker 1: gonna have to adjust to which game? Did I tell
Speaker 1: you they needed to start the first play throw it
Speaker 1: deep for uncles? And they did it, right, did it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And turn out so well it did it? First though?
Speaker 1: Feeling good the thing about right, Hey, I was feeling
Speaker 1: good in the Falcons game at first. I was like,
Speaker 1: thank god, Hey, you're at home. They're expecting you to
Speaker 1: run the ball. There's no sun in your eyes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: wing it, wing it. I feel like Dez always has
Speaker 1: big games against the Eagles. Anyway, then Malcolm jumpin Jenkins, Yeah,
Speaker 1: these guys got pride. These guys have some pride. I'm
Speaker 1: with you, man, I mean, I'm sick of hearing about
Speaker 1: how on Twitter my timeline and the season is over
Speaker 1: and let's talk draft and all that crap. No, I've
Speaker 1: last two weeks. I have Kansas City in Atlanta this week.
Speaker 1: I feel like that this is one of those games
Speaker 1: that you know, Philadelphia's riding this streak and they might
Speaker 1: be very much like the Cowboys last year. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not giving them. I'm giving them credit. They're they're deep,
Speaker 1: They're a complete team, they really really are. But these
Speaker 1: in the NFL, I'd say it again, it's a strange, lady.
Speaker 1: You just when you think you're out, you're in. Just
Speaker 1: when you think you're in, you're out. And that's Dallas
Speaker 1: has got to figure this out and they will. They
Speaker 1: will figure it out. Yes, all right, Well let's take

Speaker 1: expect Sean to play this week. But if you could
Speaker 1: only have one of them back for the Eagles game
Speaker 1: that particular matchup, which one would you take? Sean or
Speaker 1: or Tyrant or Tyrant? Sean? Who did we see? Have two? Two?
Speaker 1: D McMickey's got me convinced this defense can't play without Seane.
Speaker 1: I mean, guys, Jagi, they added him because they want
Speaker 1: that run game to get started. Yeah, yes, they have
Speaker 1: a mobile quarterback and went, but they will want to
Speaker 1: be able to rely more on their run game. I
Speaker 1: watched a little of a gie h. The one game
Speaker 1: he's played was Denver, right, yea touchdown? Yeah, and it'll
Speaker 1: blocked play out of a zone read and there their
Speaker 1: offensive line looked a lot like this Cowboys offensive line
Speaker 1: with the mobile just I mean they who was it?
Speaker 1: It was Brandon Brooks twenty yards up the field blocking
Speaker 1: two guys. They can get out. They're athletic, man, they
Speaker 1: can get out and run. So and they got blunt too.
Speaker 1: So Shawn Lee's always had great games against Philadelphia too,
Speaker 1: if you remember down in that the one in Philadelphia
Speaker 1: where well, last year the game, remember last year the game,
Speaker 1: he goes to the flat they they try and swing
Speaker 1: the ball to Sprawls and he tackles him for like
Speaker 1: minus seven and it knocks him out of field goal range.
Speaker 1: Maybe that was the play of the game right there.
Speaker 1: And weren't the ones they were complaining that he was
Speaker 1: stealing their signals? Sure, it's like no, he was here
Speaker 1: at eight o'clock at night studying. Yeah, Howard erskines Esker
Speaker 1: go away, you guys, you guys have a rivalry. I
Speaker 1: want to get a tweet from him or something, you know,
Speaker 1: I want something. You'd have to him? Why wouldn't he
Speaker 1: pick on Dak And then Bees comes to the rescue. Oh,
Speaker 1: I think I could get something started between you two. No,
Speaker 1: let's let's not ya don't back away from a battle?
Speaker 1: Are you kind of we answer the question. No, I'm
Speaker 1: not even close. You're like you compared to him. He's
Speaker 1: like he's like he is, he is. But it's a
Speaker 1: it's a great act and it's worked all these years. Okay,
Speaker 1: he said Sean Lee. I say, Sean Lee, Mick san Lee, Wow,
Speaker 1: well you're gonna maybe get tiring back instead sixty eight percent,
Speaker 1: so they need tired Smith And well, of course that
Speaker 1: was more obvious. Was it more obvious? Yeah? Because they
Speaker 1: scored twenty seven points and eight sacks. Yeah, but how
Speaker 1: many points on answer did they have after Sean left.
Speaker 1: I know Chaz got blamed for the entire game twenty
Speaker 1: but actually twenty seven straight because they were halfway to
Speaker 1: their field goal, so twenty fourth straight. But really he
Speaker 1: wasn't there for the field goal. Honestly. I remember thinking, Okay,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were coming out of the bye week and
Speaker 1: they were growing up to San Francisco, and I thought,
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide, he's gonna look like the pro bowler. He's
Speaker 1: gonna look like such a beast. And then with Shaun
Speaker 1: Lee back in there and Hitchins was back, it was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: they've got this run defense back, they're gonna be okay.
Speaker 1: And they wore for three games. Yeah, and then when
Speaker 1: he was out, it's like, let's have a day when
Speaker 1: you've got Hitchens and Lead together. That's a really good duo.
Speaker 1: But you've only seen it for like three games. Wells
Speaker 1: Hitchens going to be the most important guy on the
Speaker 1: defensive line this week or who is on the defense? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've told us yesterday he's going to be playing will
Speaker 1: if Sean can't go. Yeah. Meant so, they got to
Speaker 1: figure out what they want to do with Jalen as
Speaker 1: far as how they want to sub him, you know,
Speaker 1: not expose him to as much. You know, Jason Garrett
Speaker 1: was talking about that today. Young player, you've got to
Speaker 1: kind of figure things out for him. But yeah, it's
Speaker 1: that's the difficult thing. And these are these are hard
Speaker 1: players to replace. And yeah. Yeah, so yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: Durant and Jalen gonna have to hold down the fort
Speaker 1: middle linebacker. Yeah. Philadelphia is probably gonna keep them out
Speaker 1: of they run three wide one they do, so they're
Speaker 1: not going to be in much standard Yeah, which eliminates
Speaker 1: Damian Wilson. Would you would heep playing in the middle,
Speaker 1: would you consider how about this? Would you consider playing Wilson?
Speaker 1: And they've done it before, so I guess you, But
Speaker 1: would you consider if you're playing a lot of nicol
Speaker 1: keep Hitchings and Wilson on the field, or we talked
Speaker 1: about Wilson on the on the album. Maybe you even
Speaker 1: said this in rob You Why do you guys said
Speaker 1: this yesterday? Would you consider just playing dime? Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then and then having Cheeto played down with Byron Jones
Speaker 1: playing down and you know, try and get as many
Speaker 1: guys that could tackle around the box, because get your
Speaker 1: own version of a Nitro package. Yeah, we must have
Speaker 1: one linebacker basically on the field. I mean, guess who
Speaker 1: their leading receiver is a tight end? Yeah, so if
Speaker 1: they go three wide, you're gonna have to cover four, right,
Speaker 1: cover four, cover four. It's a great show from that time.
Speaker 1: So you're gonna have to cover four guys right, and
Speaker 1: normally they take Briban Jones and put him there. Well,
Speaker 1: if Cheetos are good to go, you let him take
Speaker 1: that he's got he's caught their most touchdown receptions, he's
Speaker 1: got six. So is er it's gonna play this week? Though? Well,
Speaker 1: I can't answer that yet. Well, guess we'll find out
Speaker 1: he hurt. He hurt last week. Yeah, then it's like
Speaker 1: do their injuries kind of catch up to them. I'm
Speaker 1: not wishing that on anyone, but when I say that,
Speaker 1: I really am not. But I'm sure they've got somebody
Speaker 1: to take his place. Yeah, I'm gonna say, because we're
Speaker 1: gonna run. We're gonna run. Our a huge guy they
Speaker 1: had at tight end, Trey Burton. Was that the guy
Speaker 1: they drafted last year? No, Burton's an older guy. Burton
Speaker 1: came out is in fourteen. They had a huge guy
Speaker 1: that they had his tight end last year. I thought
Speaker 1: he was a rookie. Maybe not. Yeah, it's been Burton,
Speaker 1: Selwick and Urs. Maybe I'm thinking of Evan Ingram maybe yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, giant. Zach Ertz has always been kind of
Speaker 1: that reliable guy for them. Well, if you remember the
Speaker 1: last game of the year, the game that Dallas threw
Speaker 1: away to save the roster, he had twelve thirteen catches
Speaker 1: in that game. Am I right about silence that? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Remember that every ball went to him at that time. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to deal with him. Get ready for that.
Speaker 1: But all right, let's go dime. Yeah, so dime. All right,
Speaker 1: Well let's hit the call callers. We have Ray from
Speaker 1: New Orleans on the line. Hey guys, how are you doing? Hey, Ray,
Speaker 1: before you get started. We're all friends here, so let's
Speaker 1: not start a battle. Oh, of course there are. I've
Speaker 1: been calling the show for ten years. You guys brought
Speaker 1: up a great point yesterday about every game matters, and
Speaker 1: I think Brian did. In UM two thousand and nine,
Speaker 1: we played the game seven six against the Redskins and
Speaker 1: leaving the stadium, everybody was mad because I've only won
Speaker 1: by one point and calling for Lomo and Lomo sucks
Speaker 1: and all this and that. I'm like, dude, we just
Speaker 1: won the game, you know, and it was gonna be
Speaker 1: one of those regular NFC East slopping oct the games.
Speaker 1: We won the game, my point, Dan, We at the Breakers,
Speaker 1: maybe Jians Chargers. Then we went on the road, Chris
Speaker 1: receive at the Dome. We beat the Saints, Redskins Eagles,
Speaker 1: and that was a tremendous run by Romo right there,
Speaker 1: and we got into the playoffs. We want a playoff
Speaker 1: game if you take that. Ugly went away at seven
Speaker 1: to six games, that everybody was complaining about, because I
Speaker 1: guarantee you when we want a division, nobody was complaining anymore.
Speaker 1: So my message is if we could just stay the course, man,
Speaker 1: even if we lose to the Eagles, I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: watching it. I think we win, and if we can
Speaker 1: beat the George's Redskin Drators and get some of these
Speaker 1: players back for Seattle on the second game of Pilly,
Speaker 1: we can still get in the playoffs. We just can't
Speaker 1: be without Zeke, Tyron, Sean and Dan Bailey. So that's
Speaker 1: all I had. No all right, appreciate it, I'm saying
Speaker 1: the same day. Yeah, that's that's some blue and silver lining. Man.
Speaker 1: My timeline on Twitter last night, I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: like asking for the draft show, who are they get
Speaker 1: a draft? They once you started on film, Brian, and
Speaker 1: it's like, as Eagles week, how are you not fired
Speaker 1: up for this? No matter what happened last week? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was ugly. I felt like they were still even
Speaker 1: on the of that when the Cowboys were sitting here
Speaker 1: eight and one last year, you know, they wanted they
Speaker 1: wanted to be like, Okay, why are they going to
Speaker 1: actually do this? Yeah? Skepticism, Yeah, and then we were like, wait,
Speaker 1: why can't you just enjoy this season? This is like
Speaker 1: a once in a while type of season and you're
Speaker 1: wanting to look ahead, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Speaker 1: Yeah thing, Yeah, but you need to go get a
Speaker 1: victory against Philadelphia. Yeah you do, Yeah you do, and
Speaker 1: now get a little get a little momentum. I mean,
Speaker 1: you had, you had some good feelings going to the
Speaker 1: you know, after the Kansas City. I didn't think they're
Speaker 1: gonna beat Kansas City. But you know, they find a way.
Speaker 1: Go find a way to you know, win this game.
Speaker 1: That's what you gotta do. You then, yeah, then it
Speaker 1: sets you up. Four days later they take the Chargers down.
Speaker 1: Now you know you're rolling. Now you got now you
Speaker 1: got the Redskins coming in here. Yeah, you got to
Speaker 1: take advantage of these home games. And I know Dallas
Speaker 1: has had their shares of struggles over the years. I mean,
Speaker 1: it seems like they're kind of getting things back. You know,
Speaker 1: Daks was very good at home last year, and you know,
Speaker 1: so we'll see. I mean that the two losses with
Speaker 1: the Rams and the Packers not good. But I think overall, though,
Speaker 1: it's a it's got to get on, get on that
Speaker 1: role again. Yeah, get you know, they had a three
Speaker 1: game role and it's, you know, unfortunate that they've lost
Speaker 1: some guys, but it sounds weird. I like their chances
Speaker 1: in this one, I really really do. I'm not doing
Speaker 1: it as a homer thing because I picked the visiting
Speaker 1: team or the opponent the last two weeks. Just something
Speaker 1: different about it. Two night games, late afternoon game. Just
Speaker 1: do what you need to do to get ready for
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, Orlando McClean, were you at though? Yeah? No,
Speaker 1: I'm speaking to the fans. Yeah, oh, you're not speaking
Speaker 1: to Orlando. He's a fan. No, he can't be a
Speaker 1: fan anymore, pan of fishing. He ain't going to be
Speaker 1: at the game cheering. How do you know that? I'll
Speaker 1: that's you. Excuse me. If there's anyone in this stadium
Speaker 1: named through a Lando McLean, can you please stand up
Speaker 1: and put on a fifty five jersey. It's currently not
Speaker 1: taken because I got a better chance of DeMarcus Ware
Speaker 1: putting on ninety four for the game than him sitting
Speaker 1: in the stands cheering. DeMarcus Ware is actually I'm seeing
Speaker 1: tweets right now for those who were able to watch
Speaker 1: the full practice portion. He was well the first full
Speaker 1: media practice portion. He's coaching up the defensive line right now.
Speaker 1: What everyone wants helping him out? Huh, helping him out? Good?
Speaker 1: Get him in, Charles Haley at the same time on
Speaker 1: the field sideline helping out. Put a headset on. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I don't think so, why not, Charles? Yeah, headset sure,
Speaker 1: it would come off in five seconds, would be jumping
Speaker 1: around probably. Yeah. So you know, we'll see. I mean
Speaker 1: a lot of people are tweeting though you need Rowland
Speaker 1: mc climbing back, guys, He's not coming back. Seriously. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm waking at this right now. Hey, in twenty fourteen,
Speaker 1: when Sean missed the whole year, it was kind of
Speaker 1: nice to have him to fall. Kitchens was a rookie then, right,
Speaker 1: but you had a true you had a true middle linebacker. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They you know, they roll Jalen, right. That was that
Speaker 1: was what they decided on, was that he would be
Speaker 1: able to to be I don't think they ever counted
Speaker 1: on him ever playing seventy snaps in a game this season,
Speaker 1: but they thought he could. He could fill a role,
Speaker 1: and he has at certain points when he hasn't had
Speaker 1: to play starters snaps, but I don't think that's what
Speaker 1: they envisioned for him. I am looking at some of
Speaker 1: these tweets too, and people are saying, it's worth noting
Speaker 1: that Ronald Darby is coming back for the Eagles this week.
Speaker 1: Of course their cornerback. You always want your cornerbacks on
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, yes, he's their left corner when he's healthy.
Speaker 1: Robinson's not. No, he got hurt in the opener, so
Speaker 1: he hasn't played. Yeah, they used Douglas Mills and who
Speaker 1: else he used Robinson? Yeah, I've been the guy Watkins too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe used a lot of guys. Yeah. What would you
Speaker 1: have believed me more? I'm trying to think about this.
Speaker 1: Believe you more? What believe you more? These two next phrases,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, would you have thought that Nolan Carroll
Speaker 1: wouldn't be on the team by the time the Cowboys
Speaker 1: faced the Eagles for the first time, or that trying
Speaker 1: to think that is the Colliott would would have played
Speaker 1: the first eight games or nine games? How many did
Speaker 1: you play? Eight? Yeah, it's more surprised by one, get
Speaker 1: more surprised by Nolan Carroll not being on the team.
Speaker 1: Or Zeett playing or Zekiel playing the first eight games.
Speaker 1: When when when at training camp beginning or end beginning
Speaker 1: start of the season was he wasn't suspended yet we
Speaker 1: knew I would go with Carroll. Yeah, I'm surprise Zeke
Speaker 1: played as many games in a row as he did
Speaker 1: because he got kind of harry there for a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. Oh yeah, I thought week one. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: but he didn't get suspended till the almost the end
Speaker 1: of August. August eleventh is when he got the middle
Speaker 1: of August. Okay, so beginning of camp, No, nothing's going
Speaker 1: to happen. Zeke is free. Took that long to figure
Speaker 1: out what they were trying to do. It didn't even
Speaker 1: make common sense. More So, what I was saying is
Speaker 1: that I thought Nolan Carroll was the biggest free agent
Speaker 1: signing they had this offseason, and he's not even on
Speaker 1: the roster for the first time he faces the sport. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was. None of their free agents would be on
Speaker 1: the roster anymore, and they were no more than a bridge. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true. Just got the young guys ready. They never
Speaker 1: thought that that that Nolan Carroll was going to be
Speaker 1: the guy. It's funny he started the Giants game though, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know he did. Sometimes that's what you know. When
Speaker 1: you get coaches, they want to go with the veteran guy.
Speaker 1: They'll always make the mistake on the veteran that was
Speaker 1: it a mistake? Or was it those young guys had
Speaker 1: barely practice and maybe not ready because they because of
Speaker 1: the injuries. Yeah, you know, I mean Cheetos still to
Speaker 1: this point has barely played. Jordan Lewis hadn't really practiced. No, yeah, right, true,
Speaker 1: and then found himself in the game. Which one was
Speaker 1: it when everybody got hurt? Right away? Denver? Denver? Right?
Speaker 1: The second game of the season, Yeah, had an interception,
Speaker 1: hadn't even practiced wherever he was playing, he had played
Speaker 1: in the slot, or he had, but he was now
Speaker 1: outside with our last couple of minutes. Yes, who gives
Speaker 1: us our biggest lift this weekend? Who's the biggest lift? Guy?
Speaker 1: The guy you're kind of thinking, No, I know, that's
Speaker 1: I know, that's our thing. You play like you rank them,
Speaker 1: but you're saying who needs to step up? No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: he's who's gonna play well. He's gonna play well enough
Speaker 1: that where you're sitting here thinking, Man, I didn't think
Speaker 1: that was gonna happen. Is you can't just voted? Said
Speaker 1: Taco Taco, Brandon Carr, Mo Clayborne or Orlando Scandrick. Yeah
Speaker 1: you got Daz. Huh, how'd you take? Mickey? I'm still thinking.
Speaker 1: I think Chaz Green lights it back up, Chazz Green,
Speaker 1: Chaz Green. Yeah. I don't know that that would carry
Speaker 1: the day, but it sure would help, wouldn't it. Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he plays better and I think he plays too.
Speaker 1: How about what how about how about a Damian Wilson?
Speaker 1: We're talking about the line back? Yeah, how about another?
Speaker 1: What if it? What if it's marsh Lillard? What if
Speaker 1: somebody like that gets a snip? What if I'm wrong
Speaker 1: about Justin Durant, I'm gonna say, d law I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say he's gonna have a more impactful pass rushing game,
Speaker 1: more more normal for him than he did last week.
Speaker 1: And maybe that pass rush is a little more effective
Speaker 1: than it was. You know, there wasn't enough pressure on
Speaker 1: Ryan last week. Needless to say, that was he had
Speaker 1: all day and the pea was reloading. He got way
Speaker 1: too comfortable as the game went on, stepping up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: looking at his third guy waiting for a guy to
Speaker 1: run all the way across the field. I think a
Speaker 1: lot of it had to do with how bad the
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense was. This didn't help him. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it just didn't force They didn't force the issue with
Speaker 1: some points. I mean, that's what I was asking you, guys.
Speaker 1: You think that Dallas could have won a game it
Speaker 1: was seventeen all, you know, because they it should have been.
Speaker 1: It should have been seventeen fourteen. And that would have
Speaker 1: been a huge difference. Had they scored at the twelve.
Speaker 1: Maybe you do get that one more stop and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, and they did get a stop the
Speaker 1: next the next possession. Yeah, now you got a chance
Speaker 1: to take the lead. It's a different ball game. That
Speaker 1: was huge. One play, one play and one field goal
Speaker 1: was so huge in that game. And then you lost traction. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and now we're here talking about can they ever win again?
Speaker 1: Will they ever be good again? Well, we'll find out
Speaker 1: you Yes, Eel, we miss you, big guy. Hurry up
Speaker 1: and say it Smith, We miss you, a big guy.
Speaker 1: Save it till next day. If you told me, Dan
Speaker 1: Bailey will never take you for granted again. This team
Speaker 1: would win the Super Bowl against all odds. All Right,
Speaker 1: see you guys tomorrow. Maybe kicking field goals soon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey, we'll do the Adam Military celebration again. Yes.
