And 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.200 I'm not sure what he was doing? Is he is? 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:02.600 He is a great story. He was dressed up for something, 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.160 Yeah he was. He he had a meeting. I think 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:07.120 he said he was trying to come get his passes 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.400 from Rich and Rich had already said that the passes 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.520 were a Norman and He's like, well, that's not doing 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.120 me any good right now, So I'm gonna have to 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.480 get me new pass New passes is what he wants. 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:18.920 So he broke into a story from nineteen fifty eighth 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:22.840 basketball story. Basketball story. It's like, that's amazing. Why do 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.080 you remember all that stuff? He'll tell a story on 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.200 you right way. Have you ever real quick, I'm starting 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:29.760 me to deill the show. Have you ever interviewed so? 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:33.640 Did your Byron Nelson? Yeah? Did you? Did you ever 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.760 tell you about the shot he hit the nineteen thirty 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:39.959 five Headelphia at the Club ro This is two thousands there, 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.800 twenty and twelve. I know, I'm sorry, I'm just but no, 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.760 this is oh yeah, I wouldn't. Guys remember him. I 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:49.280 remember his mother's saying, guys, remember, it's a crazy how 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.240 these guys their lives they remember. It's weird to be 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.360 on a show with you guys, And and hear that 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:59.520 consistently because you guys remember everything. I don't remember as 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.120 much as Micky does, but I remember remember a few things. 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.720 Nick's the king of like rand Nick was put on 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:06.920 earth to remind me of how bad we were in 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.520 those three years in the early two thousands, the leading rusher, 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:13.240 and yeah, a bunch of guys tell me about how 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:16.320 much the Cowboys have owned the Rams the past few 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.400 years that they have played them. They have. Yeah, I 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:22.640 mean we talked about Proud Brian being there obviously switch 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.400 from Saint Louis. Saint Louis, Los Angeles. Now that was 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.399 the last time they lost to him two thousand and eight. 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.840 I believe so famous on Brad Johnson game. When you 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:33.880 were at you probably wrote a really good story about that, 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.000 didn't you. The famous Rams Dude game. That's what pac 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.040 Man said leading up. It's the Rams Dude, we got it. 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.440 And then Brad Sham calls it the worst loss in 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:44.799 Cowboys history, at least to that point. That's what he said, 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:46.680 because they had they won that game, they would have 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.519 gone to the playoffs that year. That was playoffs. Jim 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:53.160 Haslett's interim debut. I believe they were on they were 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.880 they winless. I was going to say they were unwin unwinned. 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.000 They were winless. English is hard on Fridays, that's right, 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.560 and they go up there and spit the bit. Yeah 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.920 got I mean they got clawberd right. It was like 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.840 thirty something to fourteen, pretty really bizarre game because Tony 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.760 was hurt, but Tony was warming up before the game started, 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:14.200 and you didn't know what was going to happen, and 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.760 they were Saint Louis was bad in that game. Was 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:21.280 someone who was a fifty fifty y? Yes? Could that 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.120 be for this game with number fifty? Shaun Lee? I 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.640 don't know if a coin on fifty fifty, I don't know. 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.000 As Brad Johnson was about, oh for fifty. What do 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:31.960 you think about Sean Lee this week? Think Shaun Lee 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.079 is gonna be playing though. I think we'll find out 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.800 at ten thirty on Sunday. I was going to raise 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:38.640 the arm and then I don't know if I could 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.520 do it, but I think he's out Sun Lee. Everybody, 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:44.120 I know it's Shaun Lee, but I think you have 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:48.040 to think about the whole campaign. I think you have 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.280 to think about the whole campaign and not just this 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.560 one game. I think, and I can say I'm sorry 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:54.960 real quick. Yeah. And I know there's there's only sixteen 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.480 of these, so I know, I know they're all important. 0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:59.880 All of them are must win. To me, I've never 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:01.960 everybody says, oh, this is a must win game. They're 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.600 all must win because just what Mickey said, you're one 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.880 game short, you don't make the playoffs. They're all must win. 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.000 He's facing he's facing a one and two count right now. 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:14.760 I thought Jerry was how about that, yeah, one to 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.200 call him out. Jerry called him touch and go. It's 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.000 not that serious, but he said he hopes he's go. 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.040 But I thought to your point, he was pretty telling 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.159 in that we're going to be quote very careful. Yeah. 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.919 And again those hamstrings, they can become six weeks, a 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.040 couple months if it's bad enough. We've seen it with 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.240 these young corners that it keep nagging him, nagging him. 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.320 So I mean, maybe he's not ready this week and 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.039 Packers or after the bye. We'll see. He did the 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.640 same thing today or is doing the same thing today 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.599 as he did yesterday. He went out there team stretch, 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.200 then went off with Britt and start working outside on 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.680 the chords. He's on the grass field that's wet, so 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.520 he'll be he'll be limited. But I still say it 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.760 comes down to if how he feels at ten thirty 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.800 on Sunday morning. Yeah, Well, like to the stadium, keep 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:02.479 an eye on him if he's out there. Warman. Oh, 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.720 she'll get there. She'll get there real early. Mickey and 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.080 I are usually the first in the press box. Yeah, 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:08.960 I save the seat next to him. We sit next 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:10.520 to each other in games. If you guys are listening, 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:15.320 the love never ends, okay, love never make sure she's watching, 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:20.400 you know I am. Anyway, Shaun Lee, guys, he can 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.479 still have a good season even if he misses a 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.400 few games. Last year we saw that with Dez Brent. 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.760 They waited until after the bye week to bring him back. 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.480 He had a Pro Bowl season. Sure, so I know 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.159 that everyone's worried about, Oh, you know, the long run 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.480 of it all, he can still make up for this 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.160 if he's just resting this instead of what you're saying 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.599 out and hurts himself. Yeah, this to me is with 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:42.760 with a with a bye week coming up after the 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.320 Green Bay game. You know. To me, it's like, if 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.440 you get through this week and then you find a way. 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.600 I just think personnel wise, Yeah, you don't want to 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:55.479 play without Shaun Lee. Mickey said it brilliant brilliantly yesterday. 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.880 I mean, you don't want to play without him, nobody does. 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.080 But if you think about how you could play in 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:03.640 this game with your with your dime personnel and you 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.640 only need the two linebackers. You know, you could you 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:11.080 could maybe with with with the Rant and Smith, you 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.680 could work some things around where these defensive backs can 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:16.320 can go out and help you a little bit. Well, 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:20.760 remember Damian Wilson was working on the second like Nickel package, 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:24.240 Dime package and training camp, so they don't have to 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:28.359 just rely totally. Boy, we're sugarcoating this a lot. I know. Well, 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.640 but I mean they have bodies to do it. They do. 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:34.799 They're just not Yeah, that's that's fair, and not Shaun 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.080 Lee's head. I want, yeah, I want. I want Shaun 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.280 Lee on the field against Todd Gurley and against an 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.880 offense that's putting up thirty seven points a game or 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:43.640 whatever it is. I mean, one hundred and seven in 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.800 the first thirty five point seven Okay, got seven, right, 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:48.960 It's Friday, Like, that's all right, that's all right. I 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.960 just licked it up. Jason did say say when he 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.119 did go out in the fourth quarter, it was Jalen 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:58.520 Smith handling the communication through the helmet communication. Oh, they 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.479 ran out with the Bucky had the out with the 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:03.599 new helmet, so it would be Jaalen. I would think no, no, 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:07.360 he was. They gave him I mean this marine dot yeah, hey, 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:12.080 or it might be Durant. You never known ability off him. 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:16.160 Paya was also outside doing his individual drills, as he 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.400 did all last week, so I would imagine he's listed 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:22.240 as did not practice. I see if they I think 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:26.640 he's in can nurse his knee through another week? Carol 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:31.640 and a Woozier were out can give you individual absolutely? Absolutely? Yeah? 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.720 Got anything else more important? I was ready to throw 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.880 it to you guys to tell him. Rod just took 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:41.720 off him. Imagine that. Yeah, and then Cavan Frasier was 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.560 out there, Hitchen was out there, and Lewis was out 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:48.280 there doing whatever they were doing after stretch. Thanks Nicky, 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.000 we got an update on that. Can we You're welcome. 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.520 Can I ask you this, guys, even if if if 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:58.200 Carol is healthy and I think he's gonna play, you 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:03.400 still start still start brown at that other corner? I would, yeah, 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.760 opposite Scandrick, Yeah, yeah, I would, I think so too. 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.280 I don't think you guys are wrong there. Carol to 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:13.880 me is this week's ben Wickery. It's a good point. Yeah, 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.280 kind of the guy that just in case, because I 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:20.760 don't know that he's totally okay. And the way Jason 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:24.200 talked in the walkthrough, he still had to pass his 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.800 last hurdle to get out of the concussion protocol, and 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.160 one of the last hurdles is you've got to go 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.520 out and practice right, and then they want to see 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:37.199 what the residual effect is that the next day. And 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.200 so I would imagine today's the next day dealing with 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:43.080 a lot of speed with these Rams outside receivers too. Yeah, 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.520 it's a tough matchup for any of these guys. Well, 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:49.040 Tavon Austin was full yesterday too, And I'll just go 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.160 ahead and give you guys the Rams practice report. Connor 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:55.160 Barwin obviously back out there when he had a rest day, 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:59.680 Malcolm Brown fool still LaMarcus Joiner d n P. So, guys, 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.920 that's kind of a little bit of a breaker. Hamstring. Hamstring. 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.920 That's a starting safety right there. Well, their starting center 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:10.199 was only limited after not practicing on Wednesday, so keep 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.800 an eye on that. Of course. Sammy Watkins, you just 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.920 talked about a speedy wide receiver. He was full yesterday. 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.600 Cavon Webster, their cornerback, he is back at practice, even 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.560 did something a little bit crazy on social media for 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:24.800 them talking about how he was ready to be back 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.600 and ready to face on some some Dez Bryant. So, hey, 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.320 take on that task. Good luck Andrew Whitworth back out 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.320 there full after a rest day. So the Rams are 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:38.640 healing and getting back to the field in all the 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:45.520 right spots. An extra day of work in who the Rams. Yeah, 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.880 like maybe an extra walkthrough or something like that. They 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:52.439 probably they played Thursday, probably gay player today off Friday, 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.040 because you could think of a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:58.840 I think they practice Monday. Yeah, Monday. Yeah, that's what 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:03.920 I think. And they didn't have to report, like that's 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.520 an extra practice, right, so they don't have to report 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:10.040 any injuries. Yeah, in that practice. Well, Darryl Johnston was 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.360 around here today, he is doing the game on Sunday, 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:13.640 and we were talking and I was like, oh, you know, 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:15.600 everyone's been talking about the long week in the short 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.000 week and all that stuff. He did say the Rams 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:21.440 will be arriving in Texas today to acclimate more to 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.600 the time change and do all that. So West Coast 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.719 teams have done that in the past. That's an old 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.120 Bill Walsh thing and It's so funny because when we 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.520 were in Green Bay, we in in the middle of 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.400 the country. We would do the same thing going east 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.640 or west if we had to go way down south 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:39.360 or we had to go way out to the west. 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.640 And that's one of those things where you know you travel. 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:46.160 John Snyder always talks about this. In Seattle, they have 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.560 an extra travel day always built in. That's kind of 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:51.520 hard on your team. Well, it is hard, and that's 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.760 why you know Micky's talking about having the extra practice day. 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:56.520 They do have to travel and they do have to 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.160 get ready to play two hours earlier than what they're 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:02.000 really normal. Yeah, thin am start for them. And it's 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:03.920 early for the Cowboys too. I mean we talked about 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.160 it earlier in the week. They haven't had many noon games. 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.760 That's they're they're the Cowboys. They're gonna play late. They're 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.360 gonna play in that primetime slot. And so the message 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:13.640 from the coaches this week has been, this game's coming 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.520 on you quick. You know you've got Saturday, but you 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.200 gotta be ready to go. And this is a team 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:22.120 offensively and defensively too, as it started too too strong 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.520 early in games. You know you can't especially offensively you 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.360 can't afford another three and out, three and out to 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.880 start the game, not against this offense. Early bus from 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:36.840 the Ford Center leaves at eight fifteen on Sunday for 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:38.960 the stadium. That's early. And I think they have an 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.360 eight forty five or was it eight. I think it 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.959 was like forty five. They were supposed to be there by. Yeah, 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.760 so that's kind of early. So what's the primetime college 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:49.880 game that they might be saying a watching because let's 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:52.240 hope it's not that good. Yeah, yeah, there'll be no 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:54.760 more midnight curfew like last week. It's like a big 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.559 pack twelve matchup that's gonna end it two in the 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:58.880 morning or hopefully. No, that's what I'm saying. We don't 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:00.840 we don't need any of that. We need these guys 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.319 arrested and ready to go. Of course, you guys heard 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.680 Mickey say Cavan Frasier was added that his knee kind 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.080 of just a little tweak. He was limited. I don't 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.760 think there's any real concern of whether he'll be able 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.679 to play or not. And of course Carol now coming back, 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.760 and Hitchen's getting ready to probably come back next week, 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.920 next week. Not Yeah, can I ask a question about 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.520 about Jordan Lewis. Did you guys notice his knee rapped yesterday? 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.400 I wasn't out at practice. I didn't see practice. I 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.400 just saw him in the locker room. Yeah, it's listed 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.200 a hamstring. Yeah to me though it's a little long 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:36.959 to be a hamstring. Yeah, just looking at the rap 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.440 kind of goes down, you know. I was just curious 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:41.520 if you guys noticed. We spoke to him yesterday. He 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.640 said he's feeling okay, feeling pretty good. He did pop 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:46.960 up yesterday on the injury report limited, so I don't 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.160 know if they're tailing him back a little bit leading 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:52.439 into the game. You know, we'll see any bulletins from 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.079 Jerry Jones this morning. Yeah, I saw that you were getting. 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.559 And we don't have to get into the political speech. 0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.880 We're football show. Yeah, there's a lot of a lot 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:03.320 of anthem talk. Um. He addressed Sean Lee, but it 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:07.320 was mostly about what they might do in terms of 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.480 pregame this week, and he didn't want to speculate on 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.800 that one. Did you think it was interesting, Uh, that 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:18.319 he said, okay, you guys can go listen to it. 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:24.080 What No, Um, The fact that he talked about the 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:31.000 slow start, that made me too much. Oh well good, Uh, 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.400 the focus on the anthem and what they were going 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.880 to do and maybe weren't concentrating on the game. And 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.960 if you remember, I pointed out that Oakland might have 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.480 done the same thing. They got off to a real 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.880 slow start that Thursday night because they decided they were 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.600 going to sit arm in arm on the bench. He 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.520 Pittsburgh was another team that went to Chicago and didn't 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:52.640 do very well after all there, and they stayed in. 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.600 They stayed in, start out of their routine, right. Yeah. 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:59.120 I thought that was interesting that he he brought that out. 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.880 Um ye, and he did it. He offered it. He 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.280 didn't get asked. He offered it. Yeah, as one of 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.160 the reasons why they got to get off to a 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.520 slow start, because if you remember, offensively it was two 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:13.400 three and outs. Yeah, and defensively they drove for scores, 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:16.720 kept the guy missed the field goal. Yeah. So I 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.040 thought that was that was pretty interesting. Yeah, it is. 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:24.520 But why did they have a slow start against the Broncos? Yeah, 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:28.600 I mean I think the Broncos were just better personnel 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:32.480 personnel wise. I don't you know to me that that game, 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.920 that game defensively for the Cowboys was as bad as 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.480 it can get when you talk about having them, Matt, 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:41.440 I mean, when Denver's ability to run the one, we're 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:44.280 going all the way back, but Denver's ability, it's balanced. 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.800 I mean, Jason Garrett even talked about the Rams today. 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.960 What's made the Rams successful? It was balanced. You know, 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:51.760 they have that ability to run the football, they have 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.240 ability to throw the ball. They've made a lot of plays. 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:59.440 I think the Broncos. The Broncos offensively put the Cowboys 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.320 into tear spot. It helped her defense surely in that 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.040 game well, and that trend they'd carry over into the 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.640 last week because Scott Lenahan spoke to it yesterday. Zeke 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:12.000 spoke to it yesterday. They're not producing enough on first 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.480 and second down, and that's a big problem. This team's 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:17.680 only converting thirty four percent of their third down opportunities. 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.320 They're just not staying on the field. It's hurting their defense, 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.280 it's hurting their offense. And they finally got going in 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.640 the second half. You hope that's that's a sign of 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:27.600 things to come. I mean, think about it. They've only 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:32.200 scored seven touchdowns in three games. Yeah, Todd Gurley's got six, Yeah, 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:38.360 and four of those touchdowns came after they scored one 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.320 with a minute ten left in the first half, So 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:44.440 they scored, they almost went another half without a touchdown. 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.720 They're struggling. Yeah, and a lot of it has to 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:52.480 do with what you said, not very good on first down, 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:54.760 and it's carrying over to the third down, and then 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:58.000 it makes third down very difficult. Coach Lenahan spoke to 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.280 minus runs a couple of different times times yesterday and 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:03.920 that carried into the second half. You know, Zeke got go. 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.320 It's funny how Zeke gets a seven yard game and 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:09.200 an eight yard touchdown run after back to back throws 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:11.680 to Bryce Butler for ninety yards. And you kind of 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.040 spoke to that earlier in the week too. You got 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.840 to be able to loosen up the running down. Yeah. 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:18.840 I like what Mickey brought up yesterday when he brought 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.480 up the point, Hey it doesn't and we got into 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:23.280 it if it has to be a completion and different things. 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.160 But if they do go in there and they have 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:28.160 a big play on that first series, I think we 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.080 might see a different start just in that first little 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.480 bit because if they see like, okay, it's not gonna 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:35.840 come down to right here in the trenches. It's really 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.440 gonna have to be who beats who in the backfield. Yeah, 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.680 give them something to think about. Which is weird because 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:44.760 last year I forgot what the streak was. They're opening, 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:50.560 they're opening, No, they're opening series. They would go down 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:54.240 and score, Yeah, no problem. Yeah, it was like they 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.880 were so good when you win, it was six plays 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.800 eighty yards and you know, away you go sort of 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.680 drink there of how times they scored first that game 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:06.440 and this time this year so far it ain't been 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:10.040 in that way. Ruggled. Yeah, I will say opening the season, 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:13.080 this was the only team in the Internet NFL to 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.560 have their first four games going up against defenses that 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.960 were rated top ten last ten. Yeah, so no question 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.240 they knew what they were in for. Maybe they've learned 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.480 some things, hopefully they have after especially facing that. Yeah. 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.000 But you also thought though that the Cowboys were equipped 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.960 offensively to do some good against that. You did, you 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.280 know with Beasley and you felt like you could run 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.240 the football. I mean, I'm not going to put it 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:37.840 all on the offensive line, but you felt like though 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:40.600 that going in I was not I'm not saying I 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:43.080 was over confident, but I felt like, I hear people 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:45.520 say that, and I'm like, yeah, but Dallas matches up 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.080 pretty well against that. They match up against a team 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.400 that can play defense. I mean, they must have played 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:52.560 some good defenses last year, right, That's what I was 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.359 kind of thinking, and I was I'm not trying to 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:57.000 I'm not trying to kill your point. I'm just trying 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.639 to say to me, you know, it's it's not like 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:03.480 you have you're Jacksonville or you're a team that struggles offensively. 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:05.240 You know, you're thinking, oh god, we got to play 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:07.959 against four top ten defenses. You had all your pieces, 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:09.639 you had all your pieces, you know, and you have 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:11.879 the ability to run the football, and you just you 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:15.199 just haven't. Execution has been really poor, and especially on 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:17.239 what you're talking about first downs and what is this 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:22.080 one there? Now they're twenty second Yeah, well that's to me, 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.639 this defense and watching the Rams play will give up 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:28.119 big plays. And hopefully you do get off to that 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:30.960 start where you're talking about that you take the you take, 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:33.800 you take the ball, and now you're on the twenty 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:36.320 five minute, you have you know, six seven plays where 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.600 you're able to put some things together, whether it's running 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.560 the ball or throwing the ball, but that they they've 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.600 got to they've got to have a better start, if anything, 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.640 to get the crowd into it and help the defense 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.120 with points. I mean they've gone out there and how 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.680 many times this have been seven nothing to start the game? 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:56.439 You know, the Cowboys having to having to deal with that, 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:58.400 and then all of a sudden you're running game. Yeah, 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.040 and then you'll compromise, especially you get down two scores 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:03.840 and it's like that was Denver. You basically ditched the 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.040 running game. Yeah. I'm going to predict they get off 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.200 to a better start than the Bears did last night. 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:13.040 I like hearing that. YEA was that awful? Well, I 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:15.480 was watching high school football as well. You probably saw 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:17.280 a better game. I did see a better game. I 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:19.600 probably did.
