How's everybody doing this morning? I almost 19 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: mouthed off to you right there, and then I stopped 20 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: myself so I'm so glad you're starting to see you 21 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: and Zeke both some growth, some maturity. Like that's a 22 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: good thing. You know, that's a good thing. Let's keep 23 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: it going, all right. Let's uh really glad that you 24 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: said that, because I just tweeted out the periscope and 25 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: I said, we got some crazy predictions today, And as 26 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: I hit send, I said, I wonder if we're still 27 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: doing that. And then, you know, if if you were 28 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 1: to read the email that I sinned like the night 29 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: before you did, well, I don't know if you it 30 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: looks sounds good to me. Amber's probably the only one 31 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: that it takes time to read it. I did, I 32 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: did read it. You did? You just be saying consciously, 33 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: I kind of knew that it was in there. And 34 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: that's what we do on Friday. Yeah. Good, Okay, So 35 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: we'll get to that in the final segment, as we 36 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: normally do on Fridays here on the break, But for 37 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: right now, let's start talking. Sits here for the for 38 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: the talking, for the hanging with the boys whatever, who 39 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: sits here? I think that's Kurt for hanging with the boys. 40 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: For talking. That would be Mickey. Yeah, why it's always 41 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: jacked up. I think it was a player. Actually, I 42 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: think it was a player layer was sitting there. They 43 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: do have a player on. Maybe the player was sitting there. 44 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: I don't know who though. It's Jonathan Cooper. Oh, it's 45 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: Jonathan Cooper. Actually, we're gonna talk about Jonathan Cooper here 46 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: in just a second, not first. We might talk about 47 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: him second, but we probably won't talk first. All right, 48 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: Let's start first with some injury talk. Cowboys looking good 49 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: for this this weekend. Everybody on the team practice in 50 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: some form or fashion yesterday, except for Anthony Hitchins, who 51 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: we know it is going to be out for presumably 52 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: four or five weeks whatever it's gonna be. Um, but 53 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: it looks like from all accounts said, everybody that they 54 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: want to be available to them will be available to them, 55 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 1: barring possibly Jordan Lewis, who still isn't completely practicing. What 56 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: just keep going, please keep going? All right? So, UM, 57 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: I guess from that's the end point you feel good 58 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: about the Cowboys. But on the other side of it, 59 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: we spent some time talking yesterday about Odell Beckham. He 60 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: did not practice again yesterday. You guys convinced yet? We 61 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: convinced yet? Yeah? I've totally changed my tune. I think 62 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: now he's definitely not gonna play. Definitely, I thought he was. No, 63 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 1: he's still playing all the way until kickoff. Yeah, I 64 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: mean if if I'm wrong, if you're wrong, you owe 65 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: all of us lunch. That's what we said. Yet I 66 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: didn't know that. I'm good with it. I'm not. I'm 67 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: not sold at all that. I don't feel any differently. 68 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: I think it's still a good bet that he plays, 69 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: but I'm I think he's not gonna be worth anything basically. 70 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you think he runs out there and he's 71 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: just kind of decoy guy. He's not gonna be DeMarcus 72 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: Ware against the Oh nine Saints. He's not gonna go 73 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,119 Speaker 1: out there and just be a stud after not being 74 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: able to he can't move around well enough to practice. 75 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: I don't buy that, and that's why I don't think 76 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: he plays. I don't think they put him out there 77 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: if all he's doing is just kind of hobbling around. 78 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: I think they might because again, like when you when 79 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: you're talking about that caliber of player, and maybe they're wrong, 80 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: but like that's the way NFL teams think. It's like 81 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: having him out there and having him in uniform is something. 82 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: But you know that. But I think when when teams 83 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: do that, I think it only takes a series for 84 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: the other team to say he can't do anything. So 85 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: we're not we're not going to be distracted by that, 86 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: like and so I don't I don't think it really matters. 87 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: I still lean toward Nick's line of thinking that like 88 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: when a guy of that caliber, and it's true he 89 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: has to be medically cleared and all that stuff, but 90 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: like those guys find a way to get into the game. 91 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: And so it's like people see him at practice, have 92 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 1: seen videos of him kind of jog in and running around. 93 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: I've seen it too, But I think the problem will 94 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: come when he needs to make those cuts. You know, 95 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: that's where the ankle issue comes. Yeah, I think we're 96 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: taking two different things. Like the argument is will he 97 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: play what he's gonna do? Like I'm I'm agreeing with 98 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: all of y'all about that, Like I if he's not, 99 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: if he just started jogging on Wednesday, doesn't see or 100 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: that's what was being reported, who knows behind closed doors 101 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: if he's over there and making cuts and all that, 102 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: and he wants to come out with his cape and 103 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: was Superman and all that because he's very out in 104 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: a wheelchair like Paul Pierce and just stand up dramatically. Yeah, 105 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: you're kind of awesome. I don't know. Just to be clear, 106 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: I don't playing. It's not a man. I'm not saying 107 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna play well. I'm saying I 108 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: don't think he's playing. The easy comparison here would be 109 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: Jason Witten, but that's too hard because he never misses 110 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: a game. So let's take it to another player and say, 111 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: if Sean Lee was facing this same issue and was 112 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: in the same exact situation, do you think he's not 113 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: finding a way out there? No, Sean Lee took two 114 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: million dollars on the table and that one meaningless game 115 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen and said, now I'm not gonna play 116 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 1: for two million dollars meaningless game two million dollars if anything. 117 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: I mean, if he couldn't if he couldn't run well 118 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: and couldn't play up to his potential, I don't think 119 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: he plays. I think he would be like, get another 120 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: roll of tape, throw it on there. You know, would 121 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: you want to do that to one of your best players? 122 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,799 Speaker 1: Right the start? Of the season Week one. I understand 123 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: they're going against the fact is, this is not O'Dell's decision. 124 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: This is gonna be a decision that's made by their 125 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: medical staff and decision made by their coach. It's not 126 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: going to be an Odell decision. The word coming out 127 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: of New York is that it's a fifty fifty shot. 128 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: And again, yes he has to be cleared medically, assuming 129 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: he's cleared medically, but nobody feels good about what he'll 130 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: be able to do. Still think he'll be out there, 131 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: not saying he'll be affectively, he probably won't be. A 132 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: fact like if I had to guess he plays like 133 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: thirty percent of the snaps and finishes with like two 134 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: catches for twenty five yards or something like, he's just 135 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: happy JJ Wilcox isn't back there. Yeah, great points. Well, 136 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: either way, whether he plays or not, he won't. I 137 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: don't think he'll be a problem for the Cowboys. So 138 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: I'm way more concerned about Brandon Marshall. Sounds like that 139 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: just sounds like famous last words for whatever that's worth. 140 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: Mike just like, he won't be a problem for the Cowboys. 141 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: He's the best receiver and then come Monday, we're like, 142 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: oh my god, touchdown third fourth. Yeah. I don't know 143 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: that he won't look like he won't look like the 144 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: Odell that we've gotten used to seeing, but I kind 145 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: of leaned toward thinking he'll be out there. All right, Well, 146 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: we will see on Sunday. Let's get to some inactives 147 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. This will be This is always the 148 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: tough part when you have the early part of the season, 149 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: you're relatively healthy, and you're having to decide what, guys, 150 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: what seven guys that are on your sixty four sixty 151 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: three man roster aren't gonna actually I'm sorry, yeah, I'm 152 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: getting this right. No, on your fifty three man roster. Sorry, 153 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: the forty six that will actually play, the seven that 154 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: are not going to play. So I'm gonna run down 155 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: some names for you guys, and I want you to 156 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: tell me whether you think that they will be active 157 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: or inactive. All right, let's start with Jordan Lewis in inactive? Inactive? Good? Uh? 158 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: Jay Elliott, the linebacker they picked up active active, all right? Uh? 159 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: Noah Brown inactive? Uh yeah, inactive. I sat next to 160 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: Daga Stright at practice while he did this, so I'm 161 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: gonna probably agree, so I'm gonna let Dave just you can. 162 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: I don't really disagree with anything. I think you can 163 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: write six of these in stone. There's one, but go ahead, okay, Um, 164 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: this one is a choice Kellen Moore or Cooper Rush. 165 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: One of them will be inactive? Which one Rush? I 166 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: think Cooper Rush will be inactive? Great will Yeah, he 167 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: will be, Okay, not should be? Is that what you're saying? Yes, 168 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: all right, Anthony Hitchins obviously inactive? Inactive? Ben ben Wickery 169 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: the cornerback that they pick ah active, you think active, 170 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 1: I'm not sold. I don't. And that's kind of there's 171 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: like this, there's there's a handful of candidates for that. 172 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: I think his I think whether or not he's active 173 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: depends entirely on Shitabay Woodsier and Cheeto has practiced two 174 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: of the three days this week. Fully, you're saying one 175 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: of the two of them, I wouldn't be surprised. I 176 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: would be if if Cheeto was inactive, I'd be surprised. 177 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: I'm saying if the only way, not the only way. 178 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: I could see Benwickery being inactive. If they think Cheetos really, 179 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: if he's good to go, and I think he is. 180 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: I think he is a candidate to be inactive. I 181 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: think I think he'll he'll be active. And if he's 182 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: not active, I think that was a huge mistake. I mean, like, 183 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: why why get him? Then? I mean, why not get 184 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: the player who can play? If you're gonna go out 185 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: and get someone, I know, they didn't give up a lot, 186 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: and they may not give up anything. I guess if 187 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: he doesn't it it's a longer thing. I mean, he 188 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: just got here. Maybe I don't think he's ready to 189 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: play this week. That doesn't mean he's not ready to 190 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: play by week two. Then, I like, right then, I 191 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: don't think he's the right guy then. I mean, I 192 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: think that's part of the factor when you when you're 193 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: signing a player, going to get a certain player, I 194 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: mean you get a player not only the guy that 195 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 1: can help you, but a guy that that is ready 196 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: to play. His readiness to come in and contribute for 197 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: you should be a factor in taking him over him, him, 198 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: him and him that at the beginning. Go ahead. This 199 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: is a great segue because I talked to Ben a 200 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: ben Wickery yesterday and I'm going to put a story 201 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 1: up about it. Later, I was just kind of talking 202 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: to him about the process of getting ready to play 203 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: in a new defense in six days, and he's, you know, 204 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: he's got then he's playing then, because David, not knowing 205 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: how busy the site's gonna be and how full it's 206 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: going to be, he's not going to put a story 207 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: up about a player who will be inactive. He's playing. Wow, 208 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: thanks for that voting confidence. I hope I'm not finish 209 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: your story. Yeah, you know, it was really right. It 210 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: was really enlightening. Just uh, you know, people always talk 211 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: about how simple Rob Marinelli's scheme is and how helpful 212 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: that is, and he said, you know, this is not 213 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: These are not concepts I'm not familiar with. It's just 214 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: the terminology I've got to learn, have to learn my 215 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: base calls. I thought this was really interesting, which I 216 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: don't even know how you pick this up in five days. 217 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: But he was like, the big thing you gotta do 218 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: is try to figure out what a coach wants to 219 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: call in a certain situation. So like what is Rod 220 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: like to call on third and eight, or you know, 221 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: what are his early down calls? And once you kind 222 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: of get a feel for that, then you can just 223 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: go out there and let it flow. But then at 224 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: the end, so I don't know. I probably talked to 225 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: him for five minutes and he said if I don't 226 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: remember the exact what, but he basically said, if they 227 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: need me, then I think I can go out there 228 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: and get through a game. And I was like, in 229 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: my head, I was like, well, they kind of need you, 230 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: like are you are you not sure if you're gonna 231 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: be up or down? So I don't know. I think 232 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: that's interesting. I think I think he could be inactive, 233 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: but I would lean toward him being active. I think, 234 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: all right, you know, he's he's no Sterling more than 235 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: remember when they brought in Sterling Moore for the first time, 236 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 1: it seemed like they got him a few times. I'm 237 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: about to say he's been there a few times. They 238 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: signed him. They picked him up from the airport Friday night, 239 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: like at five or six o'clock. I had to go 240 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: get him from something. I guess he get cut by 241 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: New England or whatever. Claimed Friday night. They played the 242 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: Steelers on Sunday. Just you know, by Friday the players 243 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 1: are already gone and out, and he picked it up, 244 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: played played really well in the game. So I just 245 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: think that not all positions, but I think cornerback is 246 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: one where you can kind of get through it a 247 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: little bit, and sometimes you're pressed into doing that because 248 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 1: you have to. Yeah, I don't know if this is 249 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: a situation where where ben Wickeries if they have to 250 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: have him the presence, if if Cheeto's fully capable of playing, 251 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: and you've got your young safeties and everything. I don't 252 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: got thirty three that are going to be playing the most, 253 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: so that you have to have him. But I think 254 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: he's got a good shot to be out there. How 255 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: many do we have right now? Right now, We've got Lewis, 256 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: We've got Brown, We've got Rush, we've got Hitchens. That's four. 257 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: Ben Wickery would be your fifth. Why don't we hold 258 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: him and hold him? All? Right? Charles Tapper, I lean 259 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: see that. And that's the other one too, Like that's 260 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: the tricky spot that I'm in where I wouldn't be 261 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: surprised if Tapper sits. But playing a whole game with 262 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: seven defensive lineman sounds kind of dicey. Okay, so let's 263 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: let's hold those both of those, okay. Um, I think 264 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: and you look at the history of what they do 265 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 1: with the running backs. One of these two guys I 266 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: would presume is going to be an active Darren McFadden 267 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: or Alfred Morse. You guys agree with that, You're so, 268 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 1: which do you think is an active Morris? I lean 269 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 1: toward Morris based on lean I lean toward Morris based 270 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: on prior experience, But it's it's all up to I mean, 271 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: what they want to, Yeah, what what they see in 272 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: this matchup, you know, Yeah, And I mean the fact 273 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: that Zeke's out here. I always say that Morris is 274 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 1: the guy that most closely resembles what Zeke does, which 275 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: so I would lean toward him sitting. But again, you 276 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: have both of those guys, you don't need them both. 277 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised by either one. Yeah. I think 278 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, obviously, it looks like over the years, over 279 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: the you know years, it's that he's been here. It 280 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: seems like they have this this affinity for McFadden. But 281 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: at the same time, I think if you look at 282 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: the preseason, I think Morris looked better than McFadden. To me, 283 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: I thought, so, I'm kind of leaning toward maybe, But 284 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 1: if I if I were choosing, I would say maybe 285 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: McFadden would be inactive, and I'd keep Morrison and let's 286 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: see what we could do with him on you know, 287 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,839 Speaker 1: spell when he has to spell Zeke. Yeah. But but 288 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: the role that you would be playing, um, yeah, I 289 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: think McFadden would be better or for that role. I 290 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: mean as a starter. I think Morris might be better 291 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: for the starter, but I think McFadden would be better 292 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: for a backup role. I would probably keep McFadden as 293 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: this role and keep him here throughout whatever the suspension is, 294 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 1: keep him here. But you know, it wouldn't surprise me 295 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: from the Cowboys standpoint to say, why don't we not 296 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: play McFadden because we're gonna have to play McFadden after 297 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: this if we don't want to give Denver a look 298 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: on him or anything that we do with him. Point, 299 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: you know, if we have to, you know. So there's 300 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: a lot of things in play here. I consider it 301 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: six to one and half a dozen or the other 302 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: and whoever's up probably won't get that much work. And 303 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: and as hopefully as Scott Linehan said, we're gonna we're 304 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: gonna give him the ball a lot, you know, And 305 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: I don't think he did go as far to say 306 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: We're gonna run him into the ground because you know 307 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: he might be suspended for the next six weeks, seven weeks. Really, 308 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: I expected to be the Zeke Show and not the 309 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: running back Number two show. So all right, let me 310 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: give you one other name, Jonathan Cooper. Possibility he's inactive, 311 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: I think so. Yeah, it's the same. I mean, it's 312 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: the Ron Leary Lyle Collins conundrum. I mean, although I 313 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: will throw this out there that Jonathan Cooper has the 314 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: flexibility to play guard and center, which makes him valuable. 315 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: But Joe Looney can do that too, right, Joe Looney 316 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: is also your jumbo guy goal line fourth. And I 317 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: think Joe Looney's a better player, I believe. I don't 318 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: know if I think that. I don't think so. I 319 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: don't know if I think that, But I think they 320 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: trust him to wire about Why would you say that, 321 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: I mean, why would you think that? Because they have 322 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: tried everyone, but they've tried to back, they've tried to 323 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: take his job, and they've never given it to Jonathan 324 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: or Joe Looney. They've never said Looney started left guard 325 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: now versatile Derek's like I know, believe me. I've tried 326 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: to tell him. This is I mean, this is at 327 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: Montre Holland field. Cost the situation on a game day, 328 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: I'll go with the versatile guy who can play center. 329 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: But if I have to start, if if Chas gets hurt, 330 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: what's probably will happen. But I mean, if Chaz does 331 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: get hurt in the game and in Cooper has to 332 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: come play next week, I mean, it's not gonna be Looney. 333 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: It's gonna be Cooper because they feel like he's better. 334 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: I get all that. I'm just saying, based on what 335 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: I saw during training camp in preseason, I think Joe 336 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: Looting was a better player, just my opinion. See Joe 337 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: Looney play with any starters though, Okay, all right, either way, 338 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: I think I think him yesterday. I've also seen Jonathan 339 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: Cooper play with starters and wasn't completely impressed. I think 340 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: Jonathan Cooper is probably the guy in sweats. He probably 341 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: it's getting inactive. It's and you know, it's the same thing. 342 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: Ron Ron Leary is way too good of a player 343 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: to to be inactive on game days, but he was 344 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: because he didn't do enough to merit a roster spot 345 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: if he wasn't starting. Okay, so we've got six guys 346 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: that we all kind of agree on that they will 347 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: be an actor, Jordan Lewis, Noah Brown, Cooper, Rush, Anthony 348 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: hutchins Um, one of the running backs running back. Okay 349 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: with that, an older running back right, Jonathan Cooper. So 350 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: for the final one, we gotta yeah, we got decide 351 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: it is it Tapper or has it been Wickery? Who's 352 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: more likely to help help you in this game? I'll 353 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 1: be Tapper if you call the help. I mean on 354 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: how you feel about Tapper. I think about this. I 355 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: think Ben Wickery has a better chance of doing something 356 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 1: for you exactly. Yeah, think about corners start going down. 357 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: Let's say you lose two corners, and it can happen, 358 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: because I remember the game against the Jets on the 359 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 1: nine to eleven game didn't but six years ago, twenty eleven, 360 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: I remember Barry Church played corner at some point and 361 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: again because everybody was getting hurt. And if you start 362 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: losing corners, there's not a lot of players who can 363 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: kind of help there. So you got one. You got 364 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: you got a safety that can drop down to corn 365 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: if you need well. Xavier Woods say Davier Woods as well. Right, 366 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: you got a couple, right, you do have a couple, um, 367 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: but you also have a couple for defensive end as well. 368 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 1: Like if you needed some pass for a shop, you 369 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: could go with Wilber, you could go with the new 370 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: guy Elliott, who that they could rush off the edge. 371 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: I meant to bring that up. That's WoT. I would 372 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: lean towards keep it an extra corner. If that that's 373 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: the case, I lean. I think I played in a 374 00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: super Bowl and Tapper I played it at all a 375 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: single game. I think Ben Wickery will be up and yeah, 376 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: you've got guys that can help you sort through this 377 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: D line mess. And like I said the other day, 378 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: oh looked at Tapper's face and I could tell he's 379 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: not playing this weekend. I told you, guys, you know 380 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 1: you like ESPs not a real thing, you know, right, 381 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: Like you can't just read somebody's mind based on their face. 382 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 1: M Romo, Can you just admit this Nick place? I 383 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: knew what was going to happen to Romo. Nick has 384 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: been here for But you knew before that Seattle game. 385 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: You didn't said you were ready to see somebody at all. 386 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 1: First of all, before this place was built, do you remember, 387 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: we were all yes, all out I mean the first 388 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 1: thing they showed us this place, we had a hard 389 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: hats on and they took us to that group lunch 390 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,719 Speaker 1: or sitting there eating pizza, and the guy was like, 391 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: I can't wait to see you guys here again. And 392 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: we've never went back there, of course. But um, she said, 393 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: I don't know about Tony Roman. I think he's gonna 394 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: get hurt. I think he's too fragile and every time 395 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: he gets hit you can't count on him. And we're 396 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: just like this first point she's ever really made, really 397 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: and this was that point where he's healthy. Brow he's 398 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,239 Speaker 1: healthy right now. And now they're looking at me like, 399 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: who is this girl? First of all, you're not even 400 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: from here. Second, well you're a girl. Look at you. 401 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: You just got here. You don't know anything. Oh are you? Yeah? 402 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: Who are you? I think did she talk? It wasn't. 403 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: I don't think that was the point that bothered me. 404 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: I think it was more of the fact that you 405 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: were trying to like take his job away while he 406 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: was still healthy. You were like, we need to make 407 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: a change. Aside from that, Aside from that to the next. 408 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: And then after six weeks of dak and now Dak's 409 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: you know, keeps winning and wins, Tony gonna come back. 410 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: And she said, I talk. I saw Tony and he 411 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: didn't look right, like he looks like this is really 412 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: really weighing on him. And I said, I don't think so. 413 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: Like I know Tony and I think he's he's really okay. 414 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: I don't think this is really that big a deal. 415 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: Like two days later, he stands up there and he 416 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: reads this letter and he talks about how the NFL 417 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: is a meritocracy, so you have to give me some credit. 418 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: I like, I'm telling you, all right, so Ambar the 419 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: mind reader, No, so sit Taffer, I'm going with it. 420 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: That's what I think too, anyway, So I don't know 421 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: why I'm arguing.

He's 494 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: balling out for New England. He's a guy that I 495 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: think it was three drafts ago. He was a guy 496 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys were considering as a mid round pass rusher. 497 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. But my knowledge of other teams players 498 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: since I started doing that show is through the rule, 499 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 1: you know. So that's why you're gonna be doing our 500 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: scounding reports this year. Hey yeah, man, Shamus Plug. I 501 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: was thinking. I was thinking about, you know, the Cowboys 502 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: core guys on offense. You know your quarterback, you're running back, 503 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: your receiver, tight end, and left tackle. Where are we 504 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: talking about? Mississippi State, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Tennessee, USC 505 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: you know center? You know you got Notre Dame in Wisconsin. 506 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: That look at Kansas City, you know, Utah Toledo. Where 507 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: did where did Tyreek Hill end up? You wound up 508 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: somewhere I've never heard of, although he was in Oklahoma State, 509 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: but he went some other places. Went to a juco 510 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: for first artistry. Draft was Central Michigan. Yeah, I don't 511 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: even is he Yeah he's still he's still there. Yeah, 512 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: you know, you're you're tied end who's a really good 513 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: player Cincinnati, you know, and and they let go their GM, 514 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: Like he's built a really nice roster and they just 515 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: let him go this last offseason, which is amazing. Yeah, 516 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 1: and they are For years, Kansas City has been a 517 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 1: team where they don't really have that dynamic player. And 518 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: then when you think about what in the eleventh or 519 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 1: twelfth pick in the draft, what that could how that 520 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: person could help you. That's why drafting quarterbacks it is 521 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: so tricky. And I always agree with the mindset of 522 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: drafted when you need it for this reason alone, even 523 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: though I know people will disagree with that. And you 524 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: could throw the Packers out there if you want, but 525 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: it's really tough to do that. It's tough discipline to 526 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: draft a quarterback that you don't need right now, because 527 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: if you had the eleventh pick in the draft. Name 528 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: a position that could help you, someone on that line, 529 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:51,239 Speaker 1: another receiver, maybe another defense safety for them. You know, 530 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: it sucks, but I'm just saying, but there's my homes 531 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: sitting there. You know he's not gonna do anything. And 532 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: Alex Smith's like, all right, hey, draft at my homes. 533 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: I mean he was awesome. You went in well. As 534 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: I said that last night on Twitter, it's like the 535 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: I think the average, the majority of football fans would 536 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 1: say Kansas City is great, but I don't really take 537 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: them seriously because their quarterback play is not up to 538 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: snuff with like the elite teams in the league. Well, 539 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: if Alex Smith does that, even like he didn't even 540 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: have to do that, for get where he was drafted. Like, 541 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: this guy's got talent. I mean, guy, he hasn't proven 542 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: he's got he's got talent. He's a fine player. But 543 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: I think you know that was like his eighth three 544 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: hundred yard game of his career. Like at this point, 545 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 1: we know what he is and he's not Aaron Rodgers, 546 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: but he hasn't had he has I don't think he's 547 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: had these kinds of what these kinds of in his career. 548 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: I will be sorry with Alex Smith the fact that 549 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: in eight years in a row, he had eight different 550 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator in eight years, first eight seas, I mean 551 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: think about two and two. I mean one in two years. 552 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: I mean every year you're changing it up. That's that's 553 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 1: totally fair. And you know he had a he had 554 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: a year in San Francisco where he bawled out like 555 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: he's a good player, but most people don't think of 556 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 1: him as that dynamic difference making quarterback as a manager. 557 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: If he even plays like that for half of their 558 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: games this year and then just doesn't get in the 559 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 1: way for the other half, they I mean, sky's the 560 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: limit for them, even if Eric burries out. I mean 561 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,959 Speaker 1: they got enough talent on the rest of that defense 562 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: that pass rush will be yeah, good enough to secondary. 563 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 1: They were really they were really impressive. Can I throw 564 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: this out there as well? We we like to have 565 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 1: different things on our site where we're the site for everyone. 566 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: You know, Well, we have a fantasy article every day, 567 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: I mean every every week and on Thursdays it goes out. 568 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: And our our writer Jonathan Opping you've seen him write 569 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: some other things. How about this headline? While why Cole 570 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: Beasley is a smart play. Thursday's other quarterback makes sense. 571 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, out yesterday. Yeah, Brady's good. But you know what, 572 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: Alex Smith, way to go, Johnny. Yeah it is a 573 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: nice call. And you know what's funny about that is 574 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: we asked him a year and a half ago, can 575 00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: you you want to you want to do this and 576 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: write this fantasy? He was like, I could try. I 577 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: mean I don't really do it a lot a little bit, 578 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: you know. And now and now he's like, he digs 579 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: in there, he finds all these players you've never heard 580 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 1: of before, and he and he does in the articles 581 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: a lot sponsored by Draft Kings, and it's if you 582 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: play regular you know, traditional fantasy or the daily fantasy yep, 583 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,880 Speaker 1: which is legal, right, Yeah, for sure it is. Um. Yeah, 584 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: we probably all should have known something was up when 585 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: they let Mackling go Turning training camp, Like that was 586 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: kind of a hint that they felt like they had 587 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: some pretty good players there at the wide receivers, at 588 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 1: least their skill positions, and certainly last night it looks 589 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: like they do. I went back and I remember a 590 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: conversation with dez Dez and Joseph Randall because there when 591 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: their lockers right next to each other. For no, but 592 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: they hung out a lot in the locker room. Down 593 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: in that corner, Randall had Darren Woodson's hole. That's right. 594 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: I thought, maybe not, But anyways, I remember them down 595 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: there one time talking and they're saying, do you see 596 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: that number twenty four? He's the fastest player in the 597 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: in the college football And I just remember them saying 598 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: number twenty four, number twenty four, And I don't know 599 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: who that was. And then I went and google Tyree 600 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: Hill and realized that that was that player they were 601 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: talking about four or five, six years ago. He didn't 602 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: last very long. It will clomb the state. But no, 603 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: But did you see last night on the broadcast they 604 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: actually showed like they transposed his two hundred times that 605 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: he had in high school over the Olympic finals two 606 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: hundred meter and he was right there in the pack 607 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: with all those guys that this was his high school time, 608 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: and it was right there in the pack with these 609 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: guys that were running in the Olympic finals. A thing 610 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: of course, who's saying Bolt was way ahead everybody else, 611 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: but he was with the pack though, which still says 612 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: that he has world class beat as of high school, 613 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: which who knows what it is now, right. The thing 614 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: that really freaked me out about that was that he 615 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: was in high school during the twenty twelve Olympics, which 616 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, y'all are older than me, and 617 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: that made me feel old. So yeah, hey, keep living, Yeah, 618 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: keep living. All right, let's get to some of these questions. 619 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: First question I have for you guys. We've already kind 620 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: of established that we all think Johnathan Cooper might be inactive, 621 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: which kind of kills the idea of whether he is 622 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: going to be the starter at left guard. We feel 623 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: like Chas Green's gonna be that guy. But that all 624 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: being said, do you think that's the right decision? Do 625 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: you think Chad's green? What based on what we've seen 626 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: throughout the preseason, based upon the history of Chaz Green's health, 627 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: do you think it's the right decision for Chas Green 628 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: to be your starting left guard over Jonathan Cooper. No, 629 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: I don't, but I mean that's what they're gonna do, 630 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: so I'm you can't really argue that anymore. But I 631 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: don't think that's the from what I've seen and the 632 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: domino effects afterwards, I would not do that because it's 633 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: it's a to me, it's a toss up. I've seen Green, 634 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: you know, play well at times. I've seen Cooper play. 635 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: But Cooper, to me, has been more steadier because he's 636 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: been healthier, so I can trust him more to be there. 637 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: And and I just like Chas Green to be my 638 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: backup left and right tackle more than I like Byron 639 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: Bell to do it. So and then and then I 640 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: don't like shuffle in three or four positions at once. 641 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: So I just think it's it makes more sense to 642 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: go Jonathan Cooper right now and Green it's the backup 643 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: to both spots. That's what I would do. I'm not 644 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: gonna do it. I agree with him in one sense, 645 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,479 Speaker 1: but I do think this is the best five that 646 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: you can put on the field. I think, if you're 647 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: following that mantra, this is the best option. The problem 648 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: is how long will it last? And I don't know 649 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: the answer to that, which it seems like it makes 650 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: sense to hedge your bets and save the very talented 651 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: tackle to be an insurance policy. Not only is a 652 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: swing tackle, but if something happens to Tyrant, or if 653 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: something happens to Cooper or Lyle Collins, whatever. He can 654 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: do a lot of stuff for you, But it's hard 655 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: for me to get two worked up about it because 656 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: this is the best possible combination of players. So that's 657 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: kind of when we'll let you answer that before. I'm 658 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: gonna tack Day for a second. All right, go ahead. 659 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: Oh I don't agree that's the right decision at all. 660 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: And going back, sorry, going back to what was it 661 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: the game against the Raiders, the preseason game, me standing 662 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: there on the sideline, just watching him play from that close, 663 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: you know, and seeing how he moves around, and when 664 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: he kind of tripped over and then you kind of 665 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: see him, Um, what is it call again? Kind of 666 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: not being abble to walk too good? Limpin? Yeah, sorry, Limpin, 667 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: he's limping around. I'm like, okay, they need to take him, 668 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: take him out. They left him there and then you 669 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: I think it was Nick that argued that, well, you 670 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: want to see him how he does out there? You 671 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: want to him Yeah, yeah, not just all players in preseason, 672 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,479 Speaker 1: but know him him. But after seeing all that, I mean, 673 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: I still don't know why they're so stuck with Chas Green. 674 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: It's just it's not good. I mean, if you want 675 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: to make Jonathan Cooper your starter and not rely on 676 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: Chas Green and just not kind of have them rotating around. 677 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: Just give it to Cooper to begin with. We know 678 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: that Chad's Green will possibly get hurt, so just have 679 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: him as a backup, all right. I just feel like 680 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 1: that Chaz Green, because he's a third round pick, I 681 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: think that we've put him in this category like, well, 682 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: he's a talent. From a talent standpoint that he is. 683 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: You know, you could you call him a top one 684 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: hundred pick all the time. He is, okay, But why 685 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: don't you say Jonathan Cooper's a top seven pick? Because 686 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: Jonathan Cooper has a much longer career history of not 687 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: living up to that pick. And honestly, much like Chaz Green, 688 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: it's probably not his fault, right, I think, you know, 689 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: anybody that's watched him will tell you that he doesn't 690 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: look like the same player. I think he fractured his 691 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: fibula or something in his leg when he was with Arizona. 692 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: And he's been with four other teams or three. He's 693 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: been with Cleveland and New England and now here, so 694 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: he's been with four teams total. He hasn't been able 695 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: to recapture that for him, that was five years ago, 696 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: so he's got a long track record of not living 697 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: up to that, whereas again Green's just getting there. Green 698 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: still working on it. And I went off, I went 699 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: off on this rand in training camp, like I'm I 700 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: just I'm not gonna dog a guy and act like 701 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,479 Speaker 1: he's a bad player because he gets hurt. That's it's 702 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: an incredibly physical game. Stuff like that happens again. I mean, 703 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: how front and I know what you're about to say, 704 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 1: but how frustrating were the first three or four years 705 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 1: of Sean Lee's career. It was the same thing. And 706 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: I don't know that Chaz Green is as good a 707 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: player as Sean Lee wound up becoming. But I think 708 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,760 Speaker 1: it's a really talented guy. He's powerful, he's agile. Honestly 709 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 1: think he looks a little bit better at tackle than 710 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: he does it guard. But I think he's a better 711 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: player than Jonathan Cooper. If he can stay healthy, then 712 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: I think that will bear out over time. And they're 713 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 1: they're clearly willing to take that gamble, and so I'm 714 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: not gonna lose a lot of sleep about it. We'll 715 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: see if what I do like about him is that 716 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 1: you know, when you talk about Travis Frederick, what's the 717 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 1: one thing that everyone always says, you know about his game, 718 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 1: is that just how smart he is, just just just 719 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,439 Speaker 1: how you know, he can see a lot of things. 720 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: Talking to Chads Green yesterday, he's pretty smart too, Like 721 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: he was talking about a lot of things about you know, 722 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: just from from the call standpoints, the differences there, from 723 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 1: the help. Who's got the help, he said working with 724 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 1: Travis Fredericks. So I think that he'll he'll be fine there. 725 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 1: Playing between Tyrn Smith and Travis Frederick doesn't get much. 726 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say easier, but but you're gonna you're gonna 727 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 1: you can lean on. There's not two two players you 728 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 1: can lean left and right better in the NFL than 729 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: these two guys right there. I'll go. I'll go as 730 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 1: far as to say this, if he stays healthy, I 731 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 1: don't see them going away from him because he's not 732 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: playing up to snuff. Like they're not gonna He's not 733 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: gonna lose his job because he's not playing well. I 734 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 1: don't think he's worse than than Jonathan Cooper. No, yeah, 735 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: and but I don't know if that can make the 736 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: same claim on the other side, either. I mean, like, 737 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: I don't know that he's better than Jonathan Cooper. I 738 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: think they're about the same. Going back to what Nick 739 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 1: was saying earlier, they at least what we've seen this 740 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: year at Zim playing guard, I agree with you. I 741 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 1: think Chad is a better tackle than he as a guard. 742 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: But what we've seen basically between the two of them 743 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 1: at guard when they've played during training camp and during 744 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 1: the preseason, I think they've been comparable. I don't think 745 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: one is stood out from the other. I'm gonna ask 746 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: I'll ask all y'all the same question quickly. I know 747 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: you gotta move on knowing what we what we know. Now, 748 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: let's go back to the first OTA practice in May, 749 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: and you're lining up the offensive line from left or right? 750 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: How would you line them up? I in in my world, 751 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: I'd I'd probably I'd swap Chads and Lyle and put 752 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 1: Lyle at guard and Chads at tackle. I still would not. 753 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: I still keep it the way it is because I 754 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: get their thought process is Lyle, I think he's gonna 755 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: have to learn it, but I think his ceiling is 756 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 1: much higher, and I think having the stability at tackle 757 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: is way more important than having stability at guard. Plug 758 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: and play at guard is a lot easier than the 759 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,359 Speaker 1: right tackle who now is has a really good pass 760 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 1: rusher screaming around the edge to get to your quarter. 761 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 1: I'd agree with that. Going back there, Huh, My thoughts 762 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: have changed now back there, I would just be like, 763 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: get another play, like you find somebody. My main what 764 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: I really want to do is sick will McClay on 765 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: this draft class and find another guard and then attack 766 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 1: this again next year. Yeah that's yeah. But since we're 767 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 1: here now and that's not the case, like I was 768 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:17,320 Speaker 1: saying yesterday, I think switching them just because Lyle, I 769 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 1: don't I'm not feeling too comfortable with what he's doing 770 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: right now. But just how you pointed out, you know, 771 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: just give him some time and he'll be good. And 772 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 1: I have faith in him. I know he will be 773 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,240 Speaker 1: good here. He's a good player. But I think maybe 774 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 1: just keeping him at guard, not Lyle chas Green, keeping 775 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 1: him a guard maybe helps injury wise, to not have 776 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 1: him get injured as much as I would think being 777 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 1: at tackle. I don't know. I mean, there seems like 778 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 1: there's more stuff going on inside at more congestion in there, 779 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,360 Speaker 1: a lot more legs that can get tangled and feet 780 00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 1: that can be you know, and I don't know. I 781 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 1: see him being safer eut guard, but he's better at talk. 782 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 1: So I'll say this to that point, I think, actually 783 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,240 Speaker 1: I will agree with you. When you're coming off an injury, 784 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 1: especially an ankle injury, and having to stay inside, I 785 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 1: think it's probably better for him rehabbing an injury to 786 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 1: play guard. I think if you're just talking about exposed 787 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: to injuries, you know, you might be more exposed to 788 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: have an injury from the inside. But if you're coming 789 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,240 Speaker 1: back from something, you don't need to be as agile, 790 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,479 Speaker 1: I would think maybe guard. All right, So we're gonna 791 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 1: take our final break when we come back from break. 792 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: Here's the question I'm gonna post to you guys. Last year, 793 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,839 Speaker 1: Zeke ran one hundred and seven yards in the last 794 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 1: game that they played against the Giants, and the Cowboys 795 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 1: obviously did not win that game. So is this game 796 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: going to be more about what Dad can do in 797 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 1: the passing game than it will be about what Zeke 798 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: can do on the ground.

Always on 864 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 1: game day, always on game, always on game. Let's go 865 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 1: all right, let's let's let's say something we have not 866 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 1: gotten gotten past. We can do this and talking all that, 867 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 1: but when it just gets to that next part of 868 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,360 Speaker 1: that awkwardness, we just don't transition one. I know. We 869 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,280 Speaker 1: got to work that out. Maybe we'll do some practice 870 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,320 Speaker 1: reps some time off their see if you can get that. 871 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 1: All right, So the question I have for you guys 872 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 1: before it was based around the idea that this team 873 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: really last year, their success I think was predicated more 874 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 1: on the running game. Their ability to run the ball 875 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 1: opened up everything else, and if they couldn't run, that 876 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,440 Speaker 1: was going to be a challenging day for them. However, 877 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 1: in that second game against the Giants, Zeke ran for 878 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 1: one hundred and seven yards on twenty four carries. It 879 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,760 Speaker 1: was a by all counts a good running day, Cowboys 880 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 1: still didn't have enough to win the game. They lose 881 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 1: ten to seven. So it's Tomorrow's I mean, I'm sorry, 882 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 1: is Sunday's game. Do you think because of that, and 883 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 1: because of how good this defense is, specifically upfront, do 884 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 1: you think this game is going to be more about 885 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:43,759 Speaker 1: the ability to be able to throw the ball and 886 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 1: particularly be able to connect down field, then it will 887 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:50,239 Speaker 1: be about being able to run the ball. Yes, I'll 888 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 1: say no, this is sorry. This is a Dak game. 889 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,800 Speaker 1: That's the metaphor I used all last year is that 890 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 1: Zeke is the engine that makes everything hum. Dak is 891 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 1: the guy driving the car. I mean, you can drive, 892 00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 1: you can go one hundred miles an hour, but if 893 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 1: you run into a brick wall, the car's not gonna 894 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,000 Speaker 1: go anywhere. And that and when you play a defense 895 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,759 Speaker 1: this good, Zeke is going to do his thing and 896 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,840 Speaker 1: he's gonna be fine. He'll I mean, if I had 897 00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:14,799 Speaker 1: to guess, he'll probably get a hundred yards or flirt 898 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 1: with it. But to beat a defense like this, your 899 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 1: quarterback has to make plays. And so that you know 900 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 1: this is probably Seattle's gonna be like that Kansas City's 901 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,239 Speaker 1: probably gonna be like that based on what we saw 902 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:30,759 Speaker 1: last night, for four or five times this year, they're 903 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 1: gonna play an opponent with a defense good enough to 904 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 1: wear Zeke isn't gonna be enough and so, like I said, 905 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,919 Speaker 1: he'll be good, but it's you know, there's between five 906 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 1: and ten plays that dak has to make if they're 907 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 1: gonna win. I think it's more on him in my opinion. No, 908 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,400 Speaker 1: I disagree with that. And just to take your analogy, 909 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,480 Speaker 1: I mean, the car doesn't even go from you know, 910 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,720 Speaker 1: here to there without the engine. I mean, the engine 911 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,800 Speaker 1: is the engine for a reason. So I mean you 912 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,759 Speaker 1: could switch out drivers. And I'm not saying that that 913 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,920 Speaker 1: dak Is doesn't have a big role. He certainly does, 914 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 1: and how he handles the how the Giants stop the 915 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 1: running game will ultimately, you know, affect what the Cowboys do. 916 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,239 Speaker 1: But I just feel like they have to stick with 917 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,400 Speaker 1: what they do. They built this team, they built the 918 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 1: offensive line, they built a running game to be this 919 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,439 Speaker 1: type of team, and they have to kind of stick 920 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: with it. So even if it doesn't work well early on, 921 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 1: you have to just keep pounding. You can't go away 922 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,319 Speaker 1: from the game. Plan and put it on the Dak. 923 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 1: And I think, but do you want to do the 924 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:32,319 Speaker 1: same thing you did last year which clearly didn't work. Yeah, yeah, 925 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,759 Speaker 1: I'll stick with it, stay stay in that same course. 926 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,759 Speaker 1: That's the way. That's the way these games are. That's 927 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 1: the way that Cowboys Giants game is. I mean, it's 928 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 1: gonna be close down to the end. The defense is 929 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 1: going to play well, their offense plays well. But I 930 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,879 Speaker 1: mean I'm saying that it's still it's not DA doesn't 931 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:49,520 Speaker 1: need to be doing a whole lot of different things. 932 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 1: Let me let me rephrase so I'm not confused. I'm 933 00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,960 Speaker 1: not calling for Dak to throw the ball fifty times 934 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,719 Speaker 1: the same you do the same thing. Lean on Zeke. 935 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,560 Speaker 1: He is the engine of this offense. But they're not 936 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:04,719 Speaker 1: gonna win unless Dak plays great. That's basically my point. 937 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:06,920 Speaker 1: And playing he didn't play great great in that game 938 00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:08,839 Speaker 1: was that was his worst first game as a pro 939 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 1: was the second game against the Giants, and then his 940 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,680 Speaker 1: first game against the Giants was probably his second worst. Yep, 941 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,480 Speaker 1: that's not gonna cut it, not against the defense like this, right, 942 00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,040 Speaker 1: And I think that other than you know, maybe one 943 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:20,880 Speaker 1: or two teams and we won't. We don't need to 944 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,920 Speaker 1: highlight them because they haven't played. We don't know who's 945 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,719 Speaker 1: good you know yet. But I think you can say 946 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,480 Speaker 1: that same sentence on a Friday before every single game 947 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 1: you play that if Dak doesn't play well, they're probably 948 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:33,360 Speaker 1: not gonna win well. I think there's a there's a 949 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 1: distinction here between playing well, which I think he did 950 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 1: for the majority of the year last year, there were 951 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,600 Speaker 1: some games when he played out of his mind, when 952 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,719 Speaker 1: he had a high completion percentage, when he had some 953 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,839 Speaker 1: big throws throughout it in parts of the game that were, 954 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:48,959 Speaker 1: you know, throws that were tough to make that he made, 955 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:50,759 Speaker 1: Like those are the kinds of things I think David 956 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,640 Speaker 1: sings he's gonna have to make. This defense is good 957 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 1: enough where he's gonna have to make some really tough throws, 958 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 1: and those tough throws will be what actually ends up 959 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 1: winning this game for He's he's gonna have to hit 960 00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,279 Speaker 1: some chunk plays and necked through the air on some 961 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,400 Speaker 1: third and longs and be a bigger part of the 962 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,480 Speaker 1: reason why the chains are moving than Zeke. I mean, 963 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 1: you know, off the top of my head, you're right, 964 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:10,879 Speaker 1: we don't know who's gonna be good, Who's gonna be bad? 965 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,520 Speaker 1: But if you're playing a Cleveland Desk team, you can 966 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 1: win that game just by asking your quarterback to not 967 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:18,799 Speaker 1: get in the way. Yeah, I don't. That's not even 968 00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,279 Speaker 1: know what the argument is. I really don't even know 969 00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,360 Speaker 1: what we're arguing. I think what I'm just saying is, 970 00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,960 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if this changes anything from 971 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,400 Speaker 1: last year. I just think you still you go into it, 972 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,960 Speaker 1: you still play, you lean on the running game. Deak's 973 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,239 Speaker 1: gonna have to make plays. I don't. I don't even 974 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,400 Speaker 1: know if why are I don't even know if we're 975 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 1: seeing the same thing or not. This is I agree 976 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:39,839 Speaker 1: Dak does have to play well to win the game. 977 00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,279 Speaker 1: I think that seems to play better than well. But 978 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:46,279 Speaker 1: Zeke's not gonna have a great, wonderful game. I don't 979 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:51,440 Speaker 1: think he's gonna produce many yards. I know you disagreeing, Nick, 980 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:55,040 Speaker 1: But the way I see it, I hope so. The 981 00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 1: way I see it's like he won't be very productive. 982 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,279 Speaker 1: But at the same time, I think that having him 983 00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:05,120 Speaker 1: there will definitely give Dak Prescott's some comfortness that he 984 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 1: just has when he has to seek there. Although Dad 985 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,399 Speaker 1: is like one of the most confident guys on Earth. 986 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 1: But I think just having his presence there, not so 987 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,080 Speaker 1: much his game. I think that's gonna be the key 988 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,600 Speaker 1: for this game. I mean, I believe that the Giants 989 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 1: did a nice job of limiting Zeke. I mean, yeah, 990 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 1: one hundred and seven yards. But the first two games combined, 991 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,960 Speaker 1: they did a good job against him. If you take 992 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 1: out the Philly game, which at the end of the 993 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,360 Speaker 1: season when they weren't playing there are guys, the Giants 994 00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:39,320 Speaker 1: stopped the cowboy who's there are two games against the 995 00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 1: Giants were the lowest rushing outputs of the entire season 996 00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:44,520 Speaker 1: those two games. So they did a nice job. And 997 00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,560 Speaker 1: I think that there's the domino. I think that Dad 998 00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 1: didn't play well because of that. I mean, they stopped 999 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,720 Speaker 1: the running game. So then then it was I forced 1000 00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 1: it on a good point. If more people, more, if 1001 00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 1: more teams could stop the running game like that like 1002 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,000 Speaker 1: they did last year. I don't think Dak has a 1003 00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,520 Speaker 1: great season, you know, if they stopped the running game. 1004 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,719 Speaker 1: So which I guess that's kind of the point I'm 1005 00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,200 Speaker 1: trying to make is it's on him, Okay, I mean, 1006 00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 1: I think it'll be more of the same. I think 1007 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,560 Speaker 1: Zeke will be fine, but he's not gonna I don't 1008 00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,160 Speaker 1: think he's gonna touch two hundred all purpose yards. I 1009 00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,719 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be on Dak to make this work, 1010 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:22,120 Speaker 1: knowing that maybe they're not getting six yards per carry. 1011 00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 1: All right, let's let's move on. Let's do a little 1012 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,239 Speaker 1: ce or no or what do you have for us? 1013 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:32,359 Speaker 1: All right, you guys ready, Nick, ready, don't mess this off? 1014 00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:37,120 Speaker 1: Come on? Okay, she directed that a. Did Cowboys score 1015 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:44,120 Speaker 1: first on the game? See? See this one goes to 1016 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,560 Speaker 1: see you don't really have the answer. Sek will have 1017 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:50,040 Speaker 1: a hundred yards or more? See rushing or all purpose 1018 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:57,799 Speaker 1: see no rushing from the fans. See no, this will 1019 00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:03,000 Speaker 1: be Kellen Moore's last year. Wow, took it there. That 1020 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:15,759 Speaker 1: was first. Um see wait wait as a quarterback, that 1021 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,640 Speaker 1: is a good question. That's a good clarification question. As quarterback, 1022 00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 1: he's got a he's got a medium polo just hanging 1023 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:26,560 Speaker 1: with absolutely same one I got on Yeah, quarterback. See 1024 00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:30,560 Speaker 1: see last year, Jeff Heath doesn't make it through the year, 1025 00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:34,320 Speaker 1: I'll just say that. Wow, okay, okay, Jeff Heath becomes 1026 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:41,520 Speaker 1: everything they hope for. In Matt Johnson. Wow, throwback, that's 1027 00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:45,800 Speaker 1: a loaded question. I mean, just have a chance to 1028 00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:52,239 Speaker 1: trash two guys, right? Everything they hope for? No, I mean, 1029 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,560 Speaker 1: you know, I think Jeff Heath will be fine. I 1030 00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,600 Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna be the next you know. I 1031 00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,360 Speaker 1: don't know the process and how you came with that 1032 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:04,040 Speaker 1: that question. But Jeff Heath has already played a game, yeah, 1033 00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,520 Speaker 1: because so I don't know how you can. He's already surpassed. 1034 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,880 Speaker 1: I think I think that the spirit of the question 1035 00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,200 Speaker 1: is the unreal levels of hype surrounding match. Yeah, what 1036 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,080 Speaker 1: they hope it could be? Yeah? I think so. Do 1037 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,920 Speaker 1: they hope he can be a competent starting safety, because 1038 00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,279 Speaker 1: then in that case, sure if they hope he can 1039 00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:25,239 Speaker 1: be a Hall of Famer. No, I'm gonna say no 1040 00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,000 Speaker 1: for now because I gotta see it to believe it. 1041 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:31,440 Speaker 1: I haven't, and that's not that's not Jeff's fault. I 1042 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,200 Speaker 1: just haven't seen that consistently. He hasn't been placed in 1043 00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,360 Speaker 1: that kind of situation to have to do it consistently, 1044 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:38,080 Speaker 1: and so I haven't seen it. So I don't know 1045 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:39,640 Speaker 1: that I'd be willing to go out on a limb 1046 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,000 Speaker 1: and say, I'm he's going to be everything they want 1047 00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,520 Speaker 1: in a safety. I'm not going into this season thinking 1048 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,520 Speaker 1: they're set. Yeah, right, you know which, And he could 1049 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:49,000 Speaker 1: change my mind. He could get in here and play 1050 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,280 Speaker 1: really really well and then hey we're off and running. 1051 00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 1: But right as of right now, I mean, it's the 1052 00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,279 Speaker 1: same kind of option. It's the same way I look 1053 00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,759 Speaker 1: at Nolan Carroll like, yeah, I don't think right now 1054 00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:59,440 Speaker 1: I'm willing to say Nolan Carroll is going to be 1055 00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,840 Speaker 1: better than in a car. So we'll just have to 1056 00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,320 Speaker 1: see if he is great if he's not. Though, I 1057 00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,000 Speaker 1: think I've seen enough that I think it can go 1058 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,040 Speaker 1: either way. There's not a ton of stories in the 1059 00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,680 Speaker 1: Cowboys and in the league where the guys plays four 1060 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,440 Speaker 1: years as a as a backup role player, then all 1061 00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 1: of a sudden he's a starter and he's really good. 1062 00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,800 Speaker 1: I mean, it's the point you see it. These guys 1063 00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,400 Speaker 1: will flash it a little bit earlier and then they start. 1064 00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,800 Speaker 1: They don't wait to that point in their career just 1065 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:28,000 Speaker 1: doesn't happen a lot. Romo is one example. They did 1066 00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,480 Speaker 1: have some of those players for a while, you know, 1067 00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,680 Speaker 1: the Doug Freeze, the Miles Austin's, but I don't even 1068 00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,440 Speaker 1: know if they lasted that long as as he did. 1069 00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,000 Speaker 1: The Marcus Lawrence will have six to eight sacks this 1070 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:45,719 Speaker 1: year see see Yeah State. See Dak will have more 1071 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:50,239 Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns than he did last year. How many do 1072 00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:54,439 Speaker 1: you have last year? Six? Five or six? See see. 1073 00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,600 Speaker 1: I think that two point conversion against Green Bay, I 1074 00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,040 Speaker 1: think that's something best play ever it is, and I 1075 00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:01,600 Speaker 1: think it's a play that you'll see a lot with 1076 00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:05,120 Speaker 1: Switzer with the coal those guys spread out. No back 1077 00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:08,360 Speaker 1: helps the red zone offense so much. Having a quarterback 1078 00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,400 Speaker 1: that can that can force you to pay attention to 1079 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,000 Speaker 1: him helps It opens up so much more over the 1080 00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:14,880 Speaker 1: middle for you to be able to take advantage of 1081 00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,520 Speaker 1: what Terrence Williams does well going across the middle, take 1082 00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,719 Speaker 1: advantage of Jason Witton in the middle of the field. Like, 1083 00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that you can do because 1084 00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:24,680 Speaker 1: defenses have to pay attention to the quarterback being able 1085 00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:28,000 Speaker 1: to run fourth and goal from the one. I mean, 1086 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:31,359 Speaker 1: I like him to get that one yard as much 1087 00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,480 Speaker 1: as I like giving it back to Zeke lett him. 1088 00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:35,560 Speaker 1: I mean just I would never I would never kick 1089 00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:38,800 Speaker 1: from inside to five if I were this team inside 1090 00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,719 Speaker 1: the five, So if you got fourth and five, I'm 1091 00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,160 Speaker 1: going I mean, really, I'm all the way in. Yeah, 1092 00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:45,919 Speaker 1: you know, you know, if my defense was a little 1093 00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:47,880 Speaker 1: bit better, and maybe they will be, we'll see once 1094 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:49,480 Speaker 1: we get into the season. But if my defense was 1095 00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,359 Speaker 1: a little bit better, I might agree with you. If 1096 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 1: the defense is not better than last year, I don't 1097 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,000 Speaker 1: think i'd do that well, but what I would? You 1098 00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,440 Speaker 1: know how I always say this may when you get 1099 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,320 Speaker 1: down there, first and goal from the seven or whatever, 1100 00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:04,600 Speaker 1: make up your mind right then what you're gonna do. 1101 00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,040 Speaker 1: Make up your mind if this is four down, don't 1102 00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:10,279 Speaker 1: sit there and wait till third down, because first down, 1103 00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,120 Speaker 1: second down, I mean, just just keep running if you 1104 00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,239 Speaker 1: And if you remember in the opener last year, that 1105 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,520 Speaker 1: was the big they lost that game because they couldn't 1106 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,319 Speaker 1: convert in the red zone. I mean they went down 1107 00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,880 Speaker 1: there like five times easily drop a pass like over 1108 00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,960 Speaker 1: the middle. I think maybe it was tipped, but yes, 1109 00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:27,680 Speaker 1: I mean they are no. I think it was just 1110 00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:31,640 Speaker 1: an outright drop. The characteristic they didn't. They kicked field 1111 00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,160 Speaker 1: goals on four of their five trips down there. I 1112 00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:37,200 Speaker 1: mean they finished with nineteen points that's that's not gonna 1113 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:40,360 Speaker 1: cut it. Beasley's had a couple when these last two openers, 1114 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,960 Speaker 1: he dropped one down there inside the five, probably could 1115 00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:46,120 Speaker 1: have scored. And then he've also fumbled in the year 1116 00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:49,239 Speaker 1: before with Chromartys ran it back for a touchdown. So 1117 00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:54,719 Speaker 1: what you then? Yeah, when I stopped talking, I'll be done. 1118 00:53:55,760 --> 00:54:00,880 Speaker 1: I gotta look. Okay, last one, I see Elliott suspension 1119 00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:05,240 Speaker 1: Hill we would see another year like twenty fourteen Fords Bryant. 1120 00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,600 Speaker 1: I didn't get that question. Key me, please, if Zeke 1121 00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,720 Speaker 1: z is suspended, If Zeke is suspended, you'll see Dez 1122 00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:21,040 Speaker 1: have sixteen touchdowns. Got okay? Um, I don't even known. 1123 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,960 Speaker 1: I don't really think that that matters whether Zeke's there 1124 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,320 Speaker 1: or not. I mean the point is, I think the 1125 00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:31,560 Speaker 1: point is if Zeke, Yeah, they had the NFL Offensive 1126 00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,560 Speaker 1: Player of the year. They ran for two thousand yards. Yeah. Uh. 1127 00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:37,600 Speaker 1: I think he's got a better shot to do that 1128 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,759 Speaker 1: this year because he's on the same page with Dak 1129 00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,399 Speaker 1: a little bit more. And if you remember Dak, Dez 1130 00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:45,040 Speaker 1: never comes close to the Antonio Browns of the world 1131 00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:47,719 Speaker 1: in terms of catches, but he's that guy that when 1132 00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:49,960 Speaker 1: you get inside the red zone, you look to throw 1133 00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,680 Speaker 1: it up to him. I don't I'd be surprised if 1134 00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,640 Speaker 1: he sniffs that type of touchdown total, just because you 1135 00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,400 Speaker 1: will have the running game to lean on and you 1136 00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,360 Speaker 1: got the Beasley's of the world. I'd I think this 1137 00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:03,160 Speaker 1: will be his best season since twenty fourteen, easily, but 1138 00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:07,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. Healthy sixteen touchdowns is unreal for a receiver. Yeah, 1139 00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:09,840 Speaker 1: I will say this, though, I hope this year they 1140 00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,320 Speaker 1: actually make a more concertative effort to get him involved 1141 00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:14,920 Speaker 1: earlier in games, because I think there are times in 1142 00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,080 Speaker 1: games where he kind of gets lost. And to me, 1143 00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,400 Speaker 1: if you if you introduce him early in games, I 1144 00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,879 Speaker 1: think it gives the defense a moment of pause once 1145 00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:25,879 Speaker 1: it gets to point where it's, you know, second quarter, 1146 00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,840 Speaker 1: he still hasn't sniffed the ball. I just don't. I 1147 00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,239 Speaker 1: don't think you're taking advantage of that weapon enough that 1148 00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,640 Speaker 1: you talked about Antonio Brown like they come out of 1149 00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:35,719 Speaker 1: media and they're going to their guys. You're gonna know 1150 00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,160 Speaker 1: which guys are gonna be there guys. But they got 1151 00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 1: enough of them, and the Cowboys have enough of them 1152 00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:42,920 Speaker 1: to where even if you established that, Okay, if you 1153 00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:44,759 Speaker 1: want to start. Now it's trying to take him away. 1154 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:46,680 Speaker 1: Then we've got a lot of other guys that can 1155 00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:49,399 Speaker 1: beat up on you. But I would establish Dez early 1156 00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:52,520 Speaker 1: and off in every game. Absolutely. I don't get some 1157 00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:54,719 Speaker 1: routes like slants and stuff like that that you feel 1158 00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,160 Speaker 1: pretty high, pretty feel pretty good there you're gonna get 1159 00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:59,160 Speaker 1: completions out of. And I would do that every game. 1160 00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,719 Speaker 1: Start the game. All right, let's let's let's get to 1161 00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:07,440 Speaker 1: the crazy predict predictions. Let's start first with Amber. Crazy prediction. 1162 00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:11,800 Speaker 1: Crazy prediction. Don't have to give a score too, No, 1163 00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,200 Speaker 1: And you know, I probably should have started with Nick 1164 00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,000 Speaker 1: so that you can see how this works. Like the 1165 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,239 Speaker 1: crazy prediction is, this is something that's a little bit 1166 00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,040 Speaker 1: this is something that's a little bit outside the realm 1167 00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:26,240 Speaker 1: of what's blocked PUNTI yeah, and we got pretty elaborate 1168 00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:30,880 Speaker 1: with him last year. Don't know how crazy. Okay, go ahead. 1169 00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,400 Speaker 1: I think that, um, I've said it all week. I 1170 00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:38,200 Speaker 1: do think that kind of a take that moment that 1171 00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:41,239 Speaker 1: I just think Zeke's gonna have with all this stuff 1172 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,200 Speaker 1: going on, and we don't really know, we haven't really 1173 00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:46,600 Speaker 1: talked about, you know, what could happen today that will 1174 00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:50,319 Speaker 1: there should be some news regarding Zeke, but I think 1175 00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:52,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna play either way. I think he'll have I 1176 00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,560 Speaker 1: think he'll play really well. And uh, I think he's 1177 00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,840 Speaker 1: gonna get two hundred all purpose yards. I don't know 1178 00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:00,920 Speaker 1: where that's gonna come. I'm from. It would probably be 1179 00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:06,359 Speaker 1: like a one twenty eighty type of thing. Okay, running Dave. 1180 00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is bold enough, but whatever, Um, 1181 00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:13,759 Speaker 1: as much as we criticize him, I just feel like 1182 00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:18,160 Speaker 1: home game, leaky offensive line. Eli's got a pension for 1183 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,800 Speaker 1: making those types of plays. I not only think the 1184 00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:24,439 Speaker 1: defense is going to get some takeaways, I think they'll 1185 00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:28,000 Speaker 1: score one too, which they don't do very often. In fact, 1186 00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:31,840 Speaker 1: I'm having trouble thinking I'm gonna do it. That's what 1187 00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,360 Speaker 1: you gotta get. Let's just get that's that's a crazy 1188 00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:37,840 Speaker 1: defensive touchdowns good. Maybe in your written gut feeling, maybe 1189 00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:42,120 Speaker 1: you can throw a name outby oh why not? Why 1190 00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:44,200 Speaker 1: the hell not? You know? Might be an act of that. Well, 1191 00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:48,760 Speaker 1: and I'll be wrong early whatever, Um, I don't know 1192 00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:53,440 Speaker 1: if this is crazy now or not. Local local Cowboys 1193 00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:59,560 Speaker 1: get four sacks Okay, Yeah. Ellie Collins tack with Charlton, 1194 00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:05,760 Speaker 1: aiming them one each. If Taco gets a sack, he's 1195 00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,960 Speaker 1: gonna get his first sack. I'm gonna so hard on Twitter, 1196 00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:13,200 Speaker 1: on all my Taco haters. I'm gonna have some emojis. Yeah, 1197 00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:18,360 Speaker 1: emoji's out the wazoo. Taco makes his first for sac 1198 00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,960 Speaker 1: all right, I was stuck on the Taco t my 1199 00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:24,920 Speaker 1: my crazy prediction actually rides along with Dave. I'll give 1200 00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:26,880 Speaker 1: you a name. I think it's gonna be a sack 1201 00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 1: fumble caused by Orlando Scandrick coming off the edge. And 1202 00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:33,120 Speaker 1: is that that's not even lots smart based that's what 1203 00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,600 Speaker 1: we've seen a lot let's and here's the other kicker, 1204 00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:37,080 Speaker 1: Like he's gonna have a really good game. He's also 1205 00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:38,960 Speaker 1: gonna get a pick this game. Dam think he's gonna 1206 00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:42,160 Speaker 1: be a good game for Orlando. Zack fumble and and 1207 00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:46,840 Speaker 1: a pick. How How much would he enjoy that postgame 1208 00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,840 Speaker 1: press CONTI love it. He'd be standing there waiting waiting 1209 00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:53,240 Speaker 1: for the media, started to go to the podium. Where's 1210 00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:55,880 Speaker 1: the podium? Here we go, He's due for a game. 1211 00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,400 Speaker 1: Imagine him standing at his locker like this, just waiting 1212 00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,880 Speaker 1: for the media. All right now, let's get some predictions. 1213 00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:05,960 Speaker 1: Who's gonna win this game? Cowboys Cowboys? That Like, on 1214 00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:12,280 Speaker 1: was it Tuesday? We were talking about left guard or set. Yeah, yeah, 1215 00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:20,840 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a close one, but maybe twenty seven 1216 00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:26,560 Speaker 1: twenty four four? All right, how boys, Dave. Yeah, I 1217 00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,360 Speaker 1: don't see a reason not to pick the Cowboys. I 1218 00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:31,320 Speaker 1: think they have the better offense, they have the home 1219 00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:33,880 Speaker 1: field advantage. I don't have a ton of confidence in 1220 00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,800 Speaker 1: the defense as it sits right now, but Rod Marinelli 1221 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:38,720 Speaker 1: loves to say, you know, we have to play better 1222 00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:42,080 Speaker 1: than their defense. I think as good as the Cowboys 1223 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:45,160 Speaker 1: offense has looked over the last month, even knowing it's 1224 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,120 Speaker 1: the Giants, and I mean, it's not gonna be easy, 1225 00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:50,040 Speaker 1: but I think they can find a way to win this. 1226 00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:57,160 Speaker 1: And I'll say twenty four twenty okay, Um, I agree. 1227 00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:00,560 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be one of those, um those games. 1228 01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:05,040 Speaker 1: I think Dallas will win it. Twenty four twenty two, Okay, 1229 01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:09,120 Speaker 1: think I think somebody getting the safety. No, No, it's 1230 01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,080 Speaker 1: gonna be someone's gonna be going for two to win 1231 01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:14,240 Speaker 1: to tie the game, and they'll stop them. You know 1232 01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:17,480 Speaker 1: that two point defense has been really good. Yeah, it has. 1233 01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:21,320 Speaker 1: I think Cowboys win as well, but I think they 1234 01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:23,480 Speaker 1: win a very very close game, same as it was 1235 01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:25,640 Speaker 1: last year. I think these teams are so evenly matched, 1236 01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:28,120 Speaker 1: and I think they have um they know each other 1237 01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:29,800 Speaker 1: so well. I don't think it'll be a blow away. 1238 01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:31,320 Speaker 1: I don't think it. Think it's gonna be really close. 1239 01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:33,480 Speaker 1: I think the end score is gonna be seventeen sixteen. 1240 01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:37,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys win at home. It hasn't been a blowout since 1241 01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:40,120 Speaker 1: the twenty eleven finale. But it just it just varies 1242 01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,280 Speaker 1: in how many points. Like there's somebody had the Cowboys 1243 01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:47,200 Speaker 1: winning by what three or four? I was winning by three, three, 1244 01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:51,200 Speaker 1: two one one. Here we go, all right, you gotta 1245 01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:52,919 Speaker 1: check out the game Sunday. We'll be back on Monday. 1246 01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:54,560 Speaker 1: We'll tell you what went right and what went wrong 1247 01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,280 Speaker 1: till then.
