Speaker 1: how you doing in that? Uh that nice vest you're sporting? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is that from the Cowboys Pro Shot? Absolutely? Cowboys Pro
Speaker 1: Shot makes you go online to get one all day,
Speaker 1: all day, getting paid to advertise or no, I'd just
Speaker 1: like to like the model, or no I'm a bad model.
Speaker 1: You're gonna need it tomorrow. Yeah, I heard it gonna
Speaker 1: be little bit. It was a little chiliest morning walking them. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I didn't mean like going down weather man, let's weather
Speaker 1: it up? Yeah, going downhill tomorrow? Yes, good time. How
Speaker 1: do you not know that? You of all people? Now
Speaker 1: I heard did you check the weather again for Washington.
Speaker 1: I did, what does it look like? One hundred percent
Speaker 1: chance of rain? Like Taylor told you that yesterday, didn't
Speaker 1: you know, hasn't changed that, but one hundred percent chance.
Speaker 1: So what are you gonna be wearing. I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to bring some trench coat that repels water. What are
Speaker 1: you gonna wear? I don't know yet. A pregame show.
Speaker 1: You gotta stand out. I don't have down there. You know,
Speaker 1: I choose to go down? Do you choose that? We'll
Speaker 1: figure it out, Doctor Jerry Madelin about that, because I'm
Speaker 1: sure whatever you wear in the rain is not It'll
Speaker 1: be like the hat. Looking, what was that game you
Speaker 1: brought the bad umbrella? Didn't you have a bad umbrella?
Speaker 1: Was a Buffalo Miami? Probably Buffalo was just bad. Miami bad?
Speaker 1: But yeah, Miami was bad. Miami. Miami was like a hurricane.
Speaker 1: R You and I were on the field and you
Speaker 1: looked over that, You looked over the mabey, looked over
Speaker 1: the sta hands and goes, we need to get out
Speaker 1: of here. Yeah, and then and then it let it,
Speaker 1: let it let go. For sure. Hey it's Washington, DC.
Speaker 1: You wear trench coat. Trench coat, I'll wear my trench coat.
Speaker 1: We could be matching and take a picture that idea. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well that's exciting for two new kickers for each team.
Speaker 1: You have to go into that kind of weather and
Speaker 1: it's never easy to kick outside. But Mike Nugent will
Speaker 1: have the additional challenge of kicking in the rain. So
Speaker 1: with a wet ball, yes, wet ball. How do you
Speaker 1: do you guys throw throw a wet football? Well do
Speaker 1: you snap a wet thigh? You know? I didn't like
Speaker 1: it and not war Oh yeah, we used to. We
Speaker 1: used to take um, We used to take those like
Speaker 1: five gallon buckets, those plastic buckets. If you've ever worked
Speaker 1: in the restaurant industry, you know they like they hold yeah,
Speaker 1: like the paint bucket, Yeah, paint bucket thing. But restaurants
Speaker 1: they used to put slaw or taste out whatever these
Speaker 1: big buckets and we used to stand there and they
Speaker 1: dip the ball in the water and then hand it
Speaker 1: to you and you'd snap it. And that's but you
Speaker 1: know in the NFL nowadays, because the ball, you know,
Speaker 1: the various they could keep the kicking ball dry because
Speaker 1: they don't play those those aren't only used for uh,
Speaker 1: you know, for for that specific time of the game,
Speaker 1: so the other balls get rotated through. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: was surprised it was a good question. I thought that
Speaker 1: they asked, you know, yeah, because we've seen a little
Speaker 1: bit if you remember the Giants game earlier. Shit, it
Speaker 1: was played at at and T, and I thought that
Speaker 1: Dak had some problems with sweaty with some sweat hand.
Speaker 1: If that's it's a bad way of saying m Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he was really he was overlea inspiring and and
Speaker 1: you know, the ball was shaking on him a little bit.
Speaker 1: It was moving on him, you know, And I was
Speaker 1: wondering if it was he was having problems with his
Speaker 1: hand being wet. But Dak's got big hands and so
Speaker 1: he you know, he could probably handle it. But you know,
Speaker 1: Garrett told the story this morning about aikman, you know,
Speaker 1: Aikman with the big hands. Maybe a psychological thing with
Speaker 1: him not handling the weather very well. Yeah, Jason kind
Speaker 1: of treated that question like he did the altitude Denver week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like you know what, it's a mindset thing. Don't don't worry.
Speaker 1: Did he say be your best regardless of circumstances, he yeaid,
Speaker 1: he said, control what you can control. In so many words. Yes,
Speaker 1: he did for practice, big baby, and he could snap
Speaker 1: the ball and it'll be soggy when it gets to
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Oh but yeah, who sweat a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had to have him wear a towel. Yeah, might
Speaker 1: be the only center that had to wear a towel.
Speaker 1: Troy had to go up and wipe his hands off,
Speaker 1: pipe his hands off, and then Derek would take the
Speaker 1: towel and wipe between his legs. Okay, because he sweats
Speaker 1: so much. Thank you. That's in depth reporting. You getting on.
Speaker 1: Don't get that anywhere else. You don't your pants off.
Speaker 1: There's some there's some there's some centers that do change
Speaker 1: pants at halftime. Yeah, because quarterbacks it is. But in
Speaker 1: this game, yeah, if it turns into just something to
Speaker 1: keep an eye on, both both teams are going to
Speaker 1: have to deal with it. The grass field looks it's
Speaker 1: like it's in really good shape. So, like you say,
Speaker 1: late in the year, we've gone to that place and
Speaker 1: it's been a mess. So now if it's one hundred
Speaker 1: percent chance to reign, at least the grass field will
Speaker 1: be okay that regard, But yeah, it's gonna be tough
Speaker 1: for both teams. To have to deal with that. The
Speaker 1: one team that running football travels wherever you go. The
Speaker 1: running if you can run the football, that travels. So
Speaker 1: we'll see. And you know, the officials can change out
Speaker 1: the balls quickly, but if you go no huddle, you
Speaker 1: got no shot to do that, no shot. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: because they can bring in the ball boy on the sideline,
Speaker 1: can keep them in a pouch and then you can
Speaker 1: change them out. It used to be where you had
Speaker 1: to worry about the other team with their ballboys. But yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, Adam pacifica for the Cowboys actually is part
Speaker 1: of of the you know here hees he does contracts,
Speaker 1: but during the game day he works as a ball
Speaker 1: boy on the road to help, you know, facilitate it.
Speaker 1: So you got Diana Dallas Cowboys analyst and then bank
Speaker 1: robbers stopper. Whatever you have to do, do what you
Speaker 1: have to do. Jeff Heath knows that very well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: mild mannered scout by day. Yeah, stop bank robbers during
Speaker 1: the day. Amazing. Yes, So it was a fairly comforting
Speaker 1: feeling for the Dallas Cowboys as they got their practice
Speaker 1: support from yesterday. And the Dallas Cowboys only had six
Speaker 1: members of their team on it of course, four Dnps, Cheeto,
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey, Tyron Smith, and then a surprising new one
Speaker 1: Kyle Wilbur his knee. Did you see his knee, guys
Speaker 1: yesterday in the locker room, No, I did not see that.
Speaker 1: He was walking pretty slow going through gingerly. Yeah, very gingerly.
Speaker 1: And so Garrett of course said Tyron will be back
Speaker 1: at practice today with that veteran Wednesday, but Kyle Wilbur
Speaker 1: would be limited, limited, limited, And surprisingly, even though he
Speaker 1: said Sean Lee was going to be limited yesterday, he
Speaker 1: was actually full right. Good sign for him. They were
Speaker 1: going to start him out limited, see what he could do.
Speaker 1: Wound up having a full practice. Make of course Sean
Speaker 1: Lee once he got out there with a helmet on
Speaker 1: and dad, he's not gonna think he was going to
Speaker 1: walk off. No, this is it's now. I know we've
Speaker 1: got now ten straight games. Yeah, but this is this
Speaker 1: game is and to me, you know, all games there
Speaker 1: must win, but this is a game that Sean Lee
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's You've got to get something going here,
Speaker 1: you know. They they've got to find a way. They
Speaker 1: gave away two games, felt like they got a game
Speaker 1: back last week against forty nine ers. I gotta put
Speaker 1: some things together, take advantage of some situations, you know,
Speaker 1: find a way to win this game. Kansas City has
Speaker 1: lost a couple of games, Atlanta has had their share
Speaker 1: of troubles. Maybe get something going roll wise. You know.
Speaker 1: He actually spoke exactly to that after the game the
Speaker 1: other day. Yeah, defense specifically that most of the guys
Speaker 1: are getting healthy. He's back, They've got some of these
Speaker 1: dbs back. Hitchens is bad, Hitchens is back, still waiting
Speaker 1: on cheeto, David Irving's back. I never really had cheeto, No,
Speaker 1: they never. So that's fair. I mean there is there
Speaker 1: is healthy and you know, have everybody on board as
Speaker 1: they've had all season. Yeah, so now let's see it.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. Well on the other hand, yeah this, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Mickey just destroyed the Washington Redskins practice report because it
Speaker 1: was a lot more guys. We almost needed page two. Yep, okay,
Speaker 1: walk us through. So Harvey there, Mickey, yes, thank you.
Speaker 1: It wouldn't buy everybody. Yeah, old people again, people experienced people.
Speaker 1: Every time. You're gonna have to learn that, I would
Speaker 1: you will learn in it about forty years by this.
Speaker 1: It's a long time to go Okay, Yeah, she's got
Speaker 1: a long time to learn. So Taylor hosting the show
Speaker 1: at sixty. Yeah, really she might. She'll get it at
Speaker 1: some point, yeah, will I counted up thirteen guys that
Speaker 1: were limited or did not practice, and it was an
Speaker 1: estimation for the Redskins because they had so many people
Speaker 1: hurt on a short week playing Monday, they decided not
Speaker 1: to practice on Wednesday, but so they gave an estimation
Speaker 1: as if we had practice, this is how these guys
Speaker 1: would have been listed. So thirteen guys limited or did
Speaker 1: not practice. Of the thirteen, six were DMPEDE. So we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens today. The most significant has been the
Speaker 1: offensive line. Yes, yes, four fifths of their offensive line
Speaker 1: was Dnpede. That included Trent Williams, who's contemplating knee surgery,
Speaker 1: so he's trying to play through it. He needs it,
Speaker 1: and he's not sure if he's hurting the team by
Speaker 1: trying to play through it. Their other tackle, Moses Morgan,
Speaker 1: has two sprained ankles. I think they listed him as limited.
Speaker 1: Brian Shareff he dnpede second degree sprain of his mcluh center.
Speaker 1: Spencer Long Dnpede. It says knee knee, so that must
Speaker 1: mean he has two knees. Uh, And then they had
Speaker 1: backups that were unable to practice, uh tie and SICKI
Speaker 1: he's from Arling and by the way, he did not
Speaker 1: know that. As a matter of fact, he came through.
Speaker 1: I was trying to find out how to pronounce the
Speaker 1: last name because very difficultly spelled. He's out three to
Speaker 1: six weeks. He had surgery to repair a torn core bustle.
Speaker 1: So he's their immediate backup tackle. Um. But yeah, he's
Speaker 1: from from from Arlington and he played in Arena Football
Speaker 1: League before he got a shot at the NFL, so
Speaker 1: kind of a long ways for him. So and they
Speaker 1: had another backup guard, Tyler Catalina, uh limited with a concussion. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so they bang up on that office. So yesterday I
Speaker 1: think we talked about it when Jay Gruden was asked about,
Speaker 1: you know, his offensive line, who's available, and he goes,
Speaker 1: that's a great question because he didn't know. And that's
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why he didn't know. And we
Speaker 1: spoke yesterday about Jonathan Allen, their first round draft choice.
Speaker 1: He's on ir with a fractured bone in his foot.
Speaker 1: And I've I missed this one Phil Taylor, who was
Speaker 1: going to be their nose tackles on IR and Taylor
Speaker 1: mentioned their kicker, Dustin Hopkins. He's on injured reserve, so
Speaker 1: they've got some problems now. They think Josh Norman's going
Speaker 1: to be back. He's been out a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: with fractured ribs, which is not easy. Uh. And then
Speaker 1: they had a safety deschaser, Everett Hamstring limited and I
Speaker 1: believe the other safety actually Brilon was full for a change,
Speaker 1: but he's been but he's been. He suited up Monday nine.
Speaker 1: So they're banged up all over this roster. Well, can
Speaker 1: you cut your breath after saying all those times I'm
Speaker 1: worn out? It should be worn out because they will
Speaker 1: be playing with a backup kicker. You're right. I think
Speaker 1: they signed Justin Rose from Texas. Made all his extra
Speaker 1: points from Highland Park. He is from Highland Park and
Speaker 1: had the swoopiest frat hair that I've ever seen. Made
Speaker 1: all his extra points and kicked a twenty seven yard
Speaker 1: field goal, so he's he's at least gone out there
Speaker 1: and showing twenty seven yards. Yeah, Southern swoop. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: His was the infamous headshot that went around for a
Speaker 1: little bit for Texas. Is that the Cutler cut? Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly similar. And you know what I'm talking about, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you would. I was like in college thirty years very
Speaker 1: prominent with them. Yeah, it was very prominent throughout the SEC.
Speaker 1: Did you have one? I didn't? Oh, okay, yeah yeah
Speaker 1: so but twenty seven yards okay, Well he made it.
Speaker 1: You know, anything you get out of your backup kicker,
Speaker 1: it's gravy. Yeah, he got to going to ran on
Speaker 1: this guy. Thanks. You know, I didn't like the picture, no,
Speaker 1: but you know I did find this out about Nugent.
Speaker 1: I was looking up just different things about him and
Speaker 1: kind of his interesting background. Obviously. You know when he
Speaker 1: won the national championship four Ohio State back in two
Speaker 1: thousand two, Jim Tressell, yep, good old Jim Tressell. How
Speaker 1: old was Zeke? He was seven years old, and Zeke
Speaker 1: would eventually win a national championship for Ohio State as well.
Speaker 1: They were both MVPs for their national championship team. Of course,
Speaker 1: as he gell it naturally the running back and the
Speaker 1: great one that he was for Ohio State. But yes,
Speaker 1: Nugent was the first place kicker for Ohio State to
Speaker 1: ever get that kind of award, and he was a
Speaker 1: second round draft pick too. Right, Well, he also won
Speaker 1: the Luke Rosa, which Dan Bailey won. Yeah, and a
Speaker 1: quayle a kicker talk going on today. Well, I'm just
Speaker 1: saying you, guys, this is going to be a big
Speaker 1: thing this weekend, especially when you're talking about, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of the weather and everything. Sure, I think it's
Speaker 1: going to come down to that. And if it doesn't
Speaker 1: come down to that, it's going to come down to
Speaker 1: catch your Friday prediction kicker. Now I actually have a
Speaker 1: better Friday predict Yeah, Okay, I just want to make
Speaker 1: sure you gotta think you're maybe setting this thing up.
Speaker 1: Does it impact Chris Jones at all with a new kicker? Actually,
Speaker 1: NU said it, go ahead, Rob Well. I talked to
Speaker 1: Chris a couple of days. He said, the way the
Speaker 1: way Dan likes the ball to be held as part
Speaker 1: of the kicking operation, it's the same way that Mike
Speaker 1: prefers it. So there's no real difference there. Nugent spoke
Speaker 1: to just how systematic their operation is. Those two guys,
Speaker 1: LP and Chris Jones have done this for years together.
Speaker 1: So he's already got a comfort with it. He said, basically,
Speaker 1: I've just got to go out and do my job now,
Speaker 1: so just make the kicks and and so we'll see
Speaker 1: day he brings up a great point. I mean the weather.
Speaker 1: He was asked about it too, and he said, it's
Speaker 1: you know, it's not something that really affects me so
Speaker 1: much as the as the operation once you got to
Speaker 1: get the ball down for me to kick. But sure
Speaker 1: it could certainly be a factor. Yeah. Somebody Askedley actually
Speaker 1: asked him about all these Ohio state players that are
Speaker 1: on the Cowboys team, and he was like, yeah, they
Speaker 1: probably were there after me. We weren't there together. Oh,
Speaker 1: they didn't realize that he was a vested veteran type guy.
Speaker 1: He'd been in the league twelve years. This is his
Speaker 1: thirteenth year. Yeah, just looking for an angle, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's a stretch. I'm writing that story. Go ahead,
Speaker 1: gonna put it on five points, blue man. The Daggers
Speaker 1: don't end here. The Daggers are now Kyle Wilbur Are
Speaker 1: you guys at all concerned about him having that banged
Speaker 1: up knee this week? He doesn't look very good. You're
Speaker 1: ready for Sunday. I don't I don't know, I have
Speaker 1: special teams player. Yeah he is, and that's you know,
Speaker 1: he's the guy that made the tackle. We were kind
Speaker 1: of broke down in the film room the other day.
Speaker 1: He's the one that made the tackle that Jeff Heath
Speaker 1: on the kickoff. So yeah, I think though this is
Speaker 1: where they're a little banged up two with Justin Durant
Speaker 1: as well. And so now you get, now, okay, how
Speaker 1: much and how fast can you get Justin march Lillard
Speaker 1: ready to play? That's where you know he could very
Speaker 1: well factor into what you're having. You you know, you
Speaker 1: you brought up the Kyle wilbur thing, But there's a
Speaker 1: guy that's a rotational backup guy when they need, you know,
Speaker 1: when they sometimes when Damien Wilson loses his mind and
Speaker 1: doesn't play well or does something crazy, you know, they say, Okay,
Speaker 1: Kyle get in there, and kind of you know, they
Speaker 1: correct to, you know, correct Wilson. But yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I think now it's going to be about okay, can
Speaker 1: you use some uh, you know, march Lillard in this
Speaker 1: football game. Have you noticed that he loses his mind
Speaker 1: less when Sean Lee's on the field. Yeah, doesn't everyone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Damien Wilson. Yeah, but Damian Wilson will make some crazy
Speaker 1: plays where you're like, you're like, well, that's a good play,
Speaker 1: and then you're going, whoa, what is he thinking? Though?
Speaker 1: Where'd you go there? Where'd you go there? So yeah, hopefully,
Speaker 1: hopefully things Hopefully Kyle Wilver can get back. But you
Speaker 1: guys are making me kind of nervous about that. He's
Speaker 1: not going to play. He didn't look good. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm just being honest, just the way he was moving,
Speaker 1: it's very swollen, and I mean, you know, obviously not practicing.
Speaker 1: It will be curious to see what the practice report
Speaker 1: comes back from for today. Yeah. If he doesn't practice today,
Speaker 1: I don't think he plays. That's just me. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: I don't know. It was just an interesting one in
Speaker 1: Cheeto Limited yesterday or DMP yesterday out again. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: was to make it. Yeah, he's not gonna make it
Speaker 1: this week. When when could we even expect to see
Speaker 1: him again? Maybe next week, maybe the week after the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, and see, I mean, I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know. I don't have a timetable.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to you know that when they put
Speaker 1: him back out there, it's it wasn't full on pull.
Speaker 1: It just they tweaked. Yeah, it tightened up. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: tightens up. So it's like it gets fatigued. I guess
Speaker 1: is the right word. And you know it is disappointing
Speaker 1: because I said it yesterday. They're playing so many young
Speaker 1: guys and they're okay with that, you know, and heck,
Speaker 1: you got a pass rush. You got a little pass
Speaker 1: rush now, so all of a sudden, you know the secondary.
Speaker 1: You want to play secondary. You know, your mistakes aren't
Speaker 1: magnified if you get some pass rush there. So you
Speaker 1: know the other thing, he'd be a good matchup in
Speaker 1: this game if you're healthy. Jordan Reid. They focus on
Speaker 1: their days a lot, Davis Jordan read. You know, it's
Speaker 1: interesting they're Chris Thompson and those two tight ends are
Speaker 1: among their top receivers. They kind of spread it around.
Speaker 1: So a big physical corner like Cheeto who can play
Speaker 1: safety much like Byron cover tight ends. That would have
Speaker 1: been a nice asset. That would have been Yeah, absolutely yeah,
Speaker 1: and they were training him for that too. Yeah. I thought, well,
Speaker 1: now you put Byron down there in the slot, and
Speaker 1: Xavier Woods comes in. Yeah, lay a lot of dime
Speaker 1: because of their tight ends that can get down the field.
Speaker 1: Gotta be ready for the ball going down the field
Speaker 1: in the scheme. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, because that's what they do. Ye. Well,

Speaker 1: Josh Norman was limited for the first time since his

Speaker 1: they were on Monday Night Football. Yes, yes, so Josh
Speaker 1: Norman does Bryant. Will we see it this weekend? Everyone
Speaker 1: wants to know. So do the commercials, so do these sponsors. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you'll see it this weekend. Now how much
Speaker 1: exciting it will be? Well, I think that, you know,
Speaker 1: like you said, I think you have to see how
Speaker 1: really how limited though that Norman is. The mobility, to flexibility,
Speaker 1: the ability to turn, ability to run. He's going to
Speaker 1: have to be physical with Bryant. That's the kind of
Speaker 1: his way of playing. Yeah, you know, I would. I
Speaker 1: would test him. I mean, I know it sounds crazy
Speaker 1: to test Josh Norman, but I would find out really
Speaker 1: where he's at physically in this game. Can run with
Speaker 1: those Yeah? Can you turn? Run? Do all? You know?
Speaker 1: I think that's you know, make them want to tackle? Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. I totally agree with that. I mean, Dez
Speaker 1: had last year against him, he had pretty good and
Speaker 1: I don't know that he matched up if I got
Speaker 1: all the time. But yes, I'm Josh Norman complained, right.
Speaker 1: But in the two games, Dez was five for seventy
Speaker 1: two and seven for one h two. Right, so bring
Speaker 1: it on, Yeah, let's have it. And and truly play
Speaker 1: man too. Don't be sitting there with a linebacker kind
Speaker 1: of out in the flat to to cut off a slant,

Speaker 1: So we'll see what Greg Manuski does with how they handle.
Speaker 1: What is he known for? Well, he's he's really a disciple.
Speaker 1: He's a three or four guy. I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: of where his where his where he would learn from.
Speaker 1: You know, he was with San Diego forever. He Wade
Speaker 1: work together. That's what I'm trying to know there, Sandy A.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. San Diego would probably go yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking no, no, but that's say no, because the
Speaker 1: Cowboys were trying to get him to interview right the
Speaker 1: job right, Yeah he was, he was. He was in
Speaker 1: San Diego as their defensive coordinating yea, and they denied
Speaker 1: that right right, the ability to internet. I think he
Speaker 1: played for Wade. I think that's really the connection. Thank you. So,
Speaker 1: so that's where you know where you have him matchup.
Speaker 1: He's got problems in his secondary though. Yeah, he's got
Speaker 1: they haven't they haven't been as good as coverage that
Speaker 1: they're sacks and stuff. The pressures and all has been good,
Speaker 1: but they've had some trouble in their secondary, given up
Speaker 1: some plays. So yeah, challenge him. Well, see where he's
Speaker 1: at healthwise. Well, let's go to the phone lines. We
Speaker 1: have Aaron from Dallas on the line. What is your question? Hey, guys, Um,
Speaker 1: this was my first time coling and and I was
Speaker 1: just having the question about David Brian actually about what
Speaker 1: do you guys think, Um, is his deal with being
Speaker 1: that he's not seemed like he's being his catching as
Speaker 1: good as he has in the past, And just had
Speaker 1: to kind of want to see what you guys thought
Speaker 1: about that. And I'll hang up and listen. Bro Rob,
Speaker 1: you said that coach Garrett was getting asked about that
Speaker 1: earlier today. Yeah, And Jason's point was he said, first
Speaker 1: of all, I thought Dez is getting better and better
Speaker 1: as the season's gone on. He basically said, the numbers
Speaker 1: are misleading. You can't focus on stats, especially with this offense,
Speaker 1: when you think about the focus is to get Zeke
Speaker 1: twenty to twenty five carries a game. And if he
Speaker 1: did the math. I mean, you have fifty five sixty
Speaker 1: plays in a game. There's only so many passes that
Speaker 1: are going to go around, and he's gonna have to
Speaker 1: take advantage. And all these guys have to take advantage
Speaker 1: of their opportunities, and he thinks Dez has done that.
Speaker 1: I thought you wrote about that one play, the four
Speaker 1: yard catch to keep the drive going in first half.
Speaker 1: I thought that was a terrific drive by Dez. I
Speaker 1: think he had three first downs on that play. Yeah,
Speaker 1: his routes were crisp, he made tough catches. I do
Speaker 1: think he's getting better and better this sea. Yeah, Dez
Speaker 1: Bryant has accepted he will not be like the other
Speaker 1: receivers around the league that you know. Now, Pittsburgh finds
Speaker 1: a way to get their guy going even when they
Speaker 1: run the football. Yeah, but Dez Bryant's okay with his
Speaker 1: stat line as long as the team continues to win
Speaker 1: games when they did not have the running back that
Speaker 1: they have you know, currently have, and that some of
Speaker 1: the other weapons be easily and all that it was
Speaker 1: more about des Bryant, but they don't. I don't think
Speaker 1: you're ever gonna see Dez Bryant have one of those
Speaker 1: games where it's the stat line is huge. They rely
Speaker 1: on him, like Rob says, to get tough, make tough plays,
Speaker 1: and be a red zone weapon. His numbers in the
Speaker 1: red zone are always going to be good for touchdowns.
Speaker 1: That's the things you have to always as long as
Speaker 1: he's doing that, he's comfortable with it because he knows
Speaker 1: first they're a run based football team. Yeah, and he's
Speaker 1: on pace for like ten touchdowns in this season. Four
Speaker 1: right now hasn't been like superb catching those low passes.
Speaker 1: They're on the ground, but you know, if you get
Speaker 1: it kind of in his catch radius, he's catching it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's snatching the ball and then he's running. You know,
Speaker 1: no one wants to get in his way. So I'm
Speaker 1: sure if he was with another team that his numbers
Speaker 1: would probably be better. I just think, I really do.
Speaker 1: When you have a team that scored twenty eight, thirty,
Speaker 1: thirty one and forty, don't worry about who's doing what.
Speaker 1: They're doing something they're they're averaging over thirty. I'll say,
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I'll tell you why, people and this
Speaker 1: is where and Mickey, you're gonna hate this answer. What
Speaker 1: I'm about to give you all right, but this is
Speaker 1: where fantasy footballers. Why people care about Dez Bryan's numbers? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know you should care about the and and and
Speaker 1: no offense to a guy who made the call, I'm
Speaker 1: sorry to gentleman no offense, Aaron. I know you're listening
Speaker 1: to no offense. But I think we focus on fantasy
Speaker 1: football as fans do, focus on those and think that
Speaker 1: a guy's not doing what he's supposed to do, or
Speaker 1: the numbers. Why the numbers so bad? Why you know what,
Speaker 1: not a touchdown? Yeah? Yeah, see that's where I think
Speaker 1: that people it a little bit, the the evaluation of
Speaker 1: a player by a fan turns into just because the
Speaker 1: fantasy points aren't there. Jake Ruten, Yeah right, you say
Speaker 1: that yesterday, Yes, yeah, fantasy numbers. Yeah, it's I think
Speaker 1: it came up because the guy asked about Doz Bryant.
Speaker 1: I agree. I think when you sit down and watch
Speaker 1: on you know, you go to game pass on Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys dot com go watch does doing good things? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you see him doing other things. I mean he was
Speaker 1: blocking the other day. I mean there's things that these
Speaker 1: guys do in games that's not all about we talked
Speaker 1: about Tyron Crawford's another guy you the stat sheet will
Speaker 1: never ever like you feel like that that Tyron Crawford
Speaker 1: is doing a great job. But if you watch the
Speaker 1: All twenty two, you'll see him do things in a
Speaker 1: game that you're like going, oh wow, okay, I get it, now,
Speaker 1: I get it. He's you know, we were kind of
Speaker 1: based on numbers. Where a numbers society and good or bad.
Speaker 1: You know, you got to really focus on the big
Speaker 1: picture of Brian's right, Like, he's a guy that absolutely
Speaker 1: if they're winning, he's okay with it. There are receivers
Speaker 1: in the history of this league. They want their numbers,
Speaker 1: you know, and yeah they want to win two, but
Speaker 1: they got to get their numbers because it's about you know,
Speaker 1: some of it is I'm making this amount of money.
Speaker 1: I want to live up to my contract, and it
Speaker 1: is about people look at how many catches and how
Speaker 1: many yard you got. Does wants to win games. That
Speaker 1: has always been his top priority and I credit him
Speaker 1: for that. Yeah, Mickey, you're right. The Cowboys are averaging
Speaker 1: twenty seven point five points per game now in the
Speaker 1: last four games. You're right, Mickey, the highest scoring games,
Speaker 1: of course, thirty two point seven five points and last
Speaker 1: year they finished at twenty six point six seven something
Speaker 1: like that. And we were sitting there going, oh, look
Speaker 1: at this offense. They keep playing offense the way they are,
Speaker 1: they will they will put a lot of pressure on
Speaker 1: people to have to play right along with and now
Speaker 1: hope that your defense can catch up. Yeah, well for
Speaker 1: the Redskins defense that's already injured and already allowing twenty
Speaker 1: four point five points per game from their Yeah. So yeah,
Speaker 1: and their run defense. The rankings pretty good tape, but
Speaker 1: you know, the score kind of got out of whack
Speaker 1: and a couple of those games, you saw what the
Speaker 1: Chiefs were able to do, right, able to run the
Speaker 1: ball against him. So a little misleading again, that's wise. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And you know, last week, a lot of things that
Speaker 1: we were talking about was, oh, guys, don't forget this
Speaker 1: is a San Francisco team that's lost very close games,
Speaker 1: and the Redskins game was probably one of the closest.
Speaker 1: Should have lost that game, The Redskins should have actually
Speaker 1: lost to San Francisco if it wasn't for a terrible call.
Speaker 1: Controversial call. Yeah, that it's funny though, the narrative too
Speaker 1: about the forty nine er game. It was tough game, tough,
Speaker 1: tough game, close game, close game, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden you beat them by a large margin. Everything
Speaker 1: goes Ah, it's the forty nine ers. Yeah, it's tough
Speaker 1: to win games in this league, don't I don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't care who you're you know, Yeah, try and
Speaker 1: try and play that survival pool stuff. Go pick those games.
Speaker 1: It's tough to win. Yeah, Jerry said on the fan
Speaker 1: this week, like he can't recall many times and throughout
Speaker 1: his ownership where it's thirty point lead in the second
Speaker 1: half and you really can't kind of take a breath
Speaker 1: because it's just the NFL, especially since the salary cap
Speaker 1: came in. It's just games aren't like that. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: very true. But also, guys, this week, DeMarcus Lawrence has
Speaker 1: a great matchup, but Tyrone Crawford I think has the
Speaker 1: bigger matchup here. Yeah, I thinking bigger, Like I think
Speaker 1: that he could capitalize his situation favorable favorable, Thank you, Mickey.
Speaker 1: I think I think you guys talked about it in
Speaker 1: that whole thing with the injury thing. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: with Morgan Moses. He is a slow footed guy to
Speaker 1: begin with, and now you're dealing with you know, ankle
Speaker 1: problems and stuff like that. You know, keep an eye
Speaker 1: on that one. I said it yesterday. They've done a
Speaker 1: nice job of taking advantage of beat up offensive line
Speaker 1: or lines that aren't doing very well. Now, the kicker
Speaker 1: here for the Redskins will be the quarterback play because
Speaker 1: he will get the ball out quick. He will not
Speaker 1: hold that football if he can, so you know, we'll
Speaker 1: see can you cover you know, Crowder. I think that's
Speaker 1: a matchup. I wrote a out today on Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: dot Com. Is with Jamison crowd or how will how
Speaker 1: will Orlando Scandrick play against him? Because that could very
Speaker 1: well be you know, you have to find a way
Speaker 1: to win that matchup if you can. But yeah, with Lawrence,
Speaker 1: you know, have at it with Morgan if he's I
Speaker 1: have a feeling that you're going to see the Redskins
Speaker 1: they've got those multiple tight ends. Hey if you have
Speaker 1: to if him rushing the Pastors so well, it means
Speaker 1: they have to keep one of those tight ends the block.
Speaker 1: And you surely don't want Jordan Reed to be that guy,
Speaker 1: because he gave up a sack in the Philadelphia game
Speaker 1: being that guy. So you know, we'll see if Fernon
Speaker 1: Davis and they're gonna make him run the angle a
Speaker 1: little bit wider this week. So the fact that Chris
Speaker 1: Thompson's their leading receiver has a lot to do with
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. He'll he'll he'll get rid of the short passing. Okay,
Speaker 1: he'll get rid of it quickly. But like I said,
Speaker 1: Dallas has to be ready for the ball going down
Speaker 1: the field too. A lot of the end cuts and
Speaker 1: things like that. Dallas has not done a very good
Speaker 1: job when they've played that. When they when you've had
Speaker 1: a little bit of that when they get in that
Speaker 1: too deep that zone kind of and I'm not saying
Speaker 1: they played cover too all the time, but there's but
Speaker 1: they've had trouble with the spacing between the mic linebacker
Speaker 1: and the safeties, and teams have hit some inside cuts
Speaker 1: on him right there. And that's what the Redskins will
Speaker 1: try and do in this game. I have a feeling
Speaker 1: a lot of movement with the receivers, a lot of
Speaker 1: move Thompson. What a what a funny guy to now
Speaker 1: be their leading receiver. Isn't he. Yeah, the running back
Speaker 1: is their leading receiver. He's been on this team for
Speaker 1: a few years. Yeah, he's a he's a good player
Speaker 1: and they and they will find ways to get him
Speaker 1: the football in space. That's that's the big thing. They
Speaker 1: will run. The Redskins are really really big on the
Speaker 1: pick routes. You're gonna see, you know, you're gonna see
Speaker 1: guys getting rubbed on the outside. That's something that they
Speaker 1: get ready for that you're gonna see, you know, defensive
Speaker 1: backs and especially if you got some young guys, you
Speaker 1: gotta be careful. Jordan Lewis in this game that guys
Speaker 1: in tight formations and guys rubbing off each other and
Speaker 1: then finding a way, you know, to to kind of
Speaker 1: build space. So, uh, it's they do it. They do
Speaker 1: it with Thompson. They'll run guys inside and put him
Speaker 1: in the flat, especially down in the red zone. Got
Speaker 1: to watch the red zone screen. I know I said
Speaker 1: it yesterday, but that's another thing that reminds me very
Speaker 1: much of the old days, like when Andy Reid with Westbrook,
Speaker 1: remember you're with Wesbrook and how they used to throw
Speaker 1: stuff to the backs. And then it's also it's a
Speaker 1: six yard pass, it turns into a seventy six yard pass. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Read So Thompson leads them in yards. Yeah, but he's
Speaker 1: got one catch for seventy four, so that kind of
Speaker 1: skewed his fifteen point nine average. Actually, Jordan Reid leads
Speaker 1: them in receptions with twenty six, so they don't have
Speaker 1: any but they've got like one, two, three, four or
Speaker 1: five six guys that have between fifteen and twenty six catches,
Speaker 1: so they kind of spread it out. But they're leading receivers,
Speaker 1: tight end, running back. Then it's Crowder Prior Grant running
Speaker 1: back four team and then Davis another tight end. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so they kind of rely on that junk underneath. They
Speaker 1: do they well the tight ends can get down. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah they are. They are a catch run team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they are a catch run team. And not how they
Speaker 1: scored that the Deshaun Jackson last last year, the big
Speaker 1: like sixty seven yard touchdown, wasn't it? It was two
Speaker 1: years ago? Across the field, yeah, crossed underneath right, it
Speaker 1: was a Brandon Carr somebody fell down or and he
Speaker 1: just took off off. He made a game of I
Speaker 1: think it was the first time out maybe when they
Speaker 1: when they only won by what three point four points? Uh,
Speaker 1: he had that big catch and got him back in
Speaker 1: the game, right, So yeah, you know, make him stay underneath.
Speaker 1: Although somehow, some way, Cousins last year threw for more
Speaker 1: than eight hundred yards in both games. Yeah, so gotta
Speaker 1: what well you got. You gotta hope for the red
Speaker 1: zone mistake too. Another thing, you know, he will make it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he's not to the level of Eli Manning,
Speaker 1: but he will make a mistake on you. Was that
Speaker 1: a around the end zone in Washington last year? Very church? Yeah,
Speaker 1: very church. They were driving in I mean they had
Speaker 1: Dallas on the ropes pretty much, and now they you know, then, hey,
Speaker 1: that's what you gotta have. You give up red zone turnovers,
Speaker 1: That's that's killer for your offense. I mean the second game,
Speaker 1: he completed forty one of fifty three passes for four
Speaker 1: hundred and forty nine yards in three touchdowns. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: had five hundred and five yards total offense and they lost.
Speaker 1: They only got twenty six points. Yeah. Yeah. See. The
Speaker 1: funny thing to me, when you're reading all those stats
Speaker 1: for their receivers, running backs, tight ends. I really thought
Speaker 1: in the off season when they signed Trill Pryor. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh no, because they had already had kind
Speaker 1: of a stacked little group of receivers and they were fast,
Speaker 1: I mean docs in all those guys. I was like,
Speaker 1: oh boy, they faced prior last year. Yeah, they you know,
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation in Cleveland just isn't what Kirk Cousins is.
Speaker 1: So yeah. But there was an ESPN article that today
Speaker 1: about how they don't play at the same time, him
Speaker 1: and Dots and Dots and they're both they don't play
Speaker 1: because they're both ex receivers, so they're trying to work
Speaker 1: out a rotation with them. But again, they're so versatile.
Speaker 1: They've got tight ends that Jordan read to me is
Speaker 1: almost like a receiver and his ability to separate and
Speaker 1: run and get down the field. Vernon Davis is still
Speaker 1: getting it done, probably into his thirties now, so good.
Speaker 1: A lot of talent, a lot of talent offensively. Yeah,
Speaker 1: can they block, That's that'll be a question. Yeah, can
Speaker 1: they block their tight ends? And well, now can they
Speaker 1: can they block? For Cousins that I mean, well, that's
Speaker 1: what you got sacked four times on Monday, And I
Speaker 1: mean that's probably nicer than it could have been. This
Speaker 1: is where Thompson can come in. Though. Do you draw screen?
Speaker 1: You know that's one way if you if you have success,
Speaker 1: draw screen. Uh that that kind of makes defenses have
Speaker 1: to slow down, you know. Okay, were worried about guys.
Speaker 1: You know, Alston, You're rushing and boom, the screen hits
Speaker 1: you for thirty eight yards. You know that's what you
Speaker 1: have to be really careful from this game. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was surprised when I looked at that Rob that Cousins
Speaker 1: had only been sacked four times on Monday. And granted,
Speaker 1: I mean the injuries happened at different times during the game,
Speaker 1: but it will be curious to see if the Cowboys
Speaker 1: again we'll take advantage. Of course, they sacked CJ. Bethor
Speaker 1: five times last Sunday, right, yeah, so and the hits
Speaker 1: and the pressure and forcing him to get rid of
Speaker 1: it quickly too. Again, I'll always show up. But yeah,
Speaker 1: if you can do all of those things, it affects
Speaker 1: those deep type deep gains that they're able to get usually. Yes,
Speaker 1: And just to clear up any confusion for anyone who's
Speaker 1: seen this, sweatshirts T shirts that DeMarcus Lawrence has been
Speaker 1: promoting the tank is coming for your shirts. Kirk Cousins
Speaker 1: is not a left handed quarter No, he is right handed.
Speaker 1: How did that work out? I was wondering what was
Speaker 1: that all about? Was that just trying not to be
Speaker 1: infringement rights? Maybe? Well? Know is that if you make
Speaker 1: him left handed? Is it not his lightness? Is that?
Speaker 1: Is that you get around it? The same number on
Speaker 1: the jersey though, I don't. I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: they just had a cut out of a player it
Speaker 1: happened to be left handed, and they threw a Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins jersey on it. I don't know. I thought I
Speaker 1: thought initially I saw that, I thought it was maybe
Speaker 1: it's mocking Cousins. People have seen that. And then they
Speaker 1: were tweeting, oh, how are you going to handle a
Speaker 1: left handed quarterback? And I was like, haven't you guys
Speaker 1: been watching Kirk for like the past two years? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Just checking the fantasy score bucks. Yeah, no one watches.
Speaker 1: I would just look. I would love to know what
Speaker 1: Mickey's fantasy's football team name would be. Hain't got time?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, mixed shots time fantasy football? Go ahead, man,
Speaker 1: you have time for fantasy football. I don't play right
Speaker 1: tell us why it's terrible because it's fantasy. You know,
Speaker 1: you'd pick somebody fantasy to train somebody next week, and
Speaker 1: then you think teams shouldn't well operate the way you operate.

Speaker 1: your Twitter poll, Yes, fairly simple today we just find
Speaker 1: it again. Thanks? Hey, al right, I looked, Hey tay
Speaker 1: am Or Yeah, yeah, Rob. Let's take a break. Mick
Speaker 1: toughest opposing quarterback in the division. Oh, Kirk Cousins, we
Speaker 1: just finished talking about him, Eli Manning or Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: with that six and one record? Here, you guys got
Speaker 1: it's the toughest matchup for the Cowboys. Def oh for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Whoever? I thought you meant toughest, like you're
Speaker 1: out of this. You left Dak Prescott out actually voted
Speaker 1: on this one. If you read the poll, it says
Speaker 1: a post look for it. I can't find it good Lord,
Speaker 1: you guys got I took, I took, I took Cousins.
Speaker 1: I voted for Cousins. I think it's a I think
Speaker 1: it's a bad matchup for the Cowboys, to be honest
Speaker 1: with you, I mean, if he doesn't make mistakes, but
Speaker 1: this record won't tell you that. The record says you
Speaker 1: beat him. But I worry about him kind of getting
Speaker 1: it together, which he has. But the matchup is difficult.
Speaker 1: Matchup is very difficult. Hey, what forces you to make mistakes?
Speaker 1: Maybe you got I said, yeah, Wentz, I'll take Cousins
Speaker 1: last year seventy for ninety nine, eight hundred and thirteen yards,
Speaker 1: four touchdowns, one reception, and oh now he wants to
Speaker 1: play two ells. Well, the fans agree with Tay Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz by a landslide eighty four percent, followed by Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins eleven percent, Eli five percent. They're going strictly off record, right,
Speaker 1: Cowboy Nation is sure they are because if you look
Speaker 1: at the stats, and stats aren't everything. Sure they are.
Speaker 1: Cousins is third in the NFL and passer rating ahead
Speaker 1: of Wentz one oh seven point two. Yeah. When it
Speaker 1: comes to stats, all I care about his target? Yeahgets
Speaker 1: are high. Those targets work out. Last week, I mean
Speaker 1: two passes batted at the line of scrimmage and they
Speaker 1: gave targets target away, and he had three more passes
Speaker 1: he threw in the ground because he was going to
Speaker 1: try to save himself from getting sacked, and somebody got
Speaker 1: a target. Yeah, that would be twenty one. Got a
Speaker 1: target on that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well, Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: is already as long as seventy doesn't get a target,
Speaker 1: you're okay, Yeah, true, Dak Prescott is already the most
Speaker 1: endorsed athlete in the NFL. That's pretty impressive. But now
Speaker 1: he's number one in sales from March thirty, first to sales. Yeah,
Speaker 1: whatever surpassed him all dak Mania, dak Mania. So, I
Speaker 1: mean that's a little surprising to me. Still because of
Speaker 1: the Cowboys having a three and three start to the season. Now, granted,
Speaker 1: Dak is still now even more so considered in the
Speaker 1: MVP talk reading a whole article about how he's dropped,
Speaker 1: how he's still considered. What do you mean pumped up?
Speaker 1: You haven't heard his radio commercial. No, I'm pumped up.
Speaker 1: That's all says, that's it. It's a whole commercial in
Speaker 1: the middle of the red and it's m Dak Prescott.
Speaker 1: I'm pumped up. What is it for soup? No? No, yeah,
Speaker 1: well he's where he's got his cardboard cut out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: can't well up to get it as a drop. I'm
Speaker 1: actually he told us a funny story yesterday and I
Speaker 1: can't remember who it was. It was somebody was not
Speaker 1: a family member or was a friend. And when they
Speaker 1: walk into seven to eleven and if the cardboard cut
Speaker 1: out in the back of the store, this guy picks
Speaker 1: it up and moves into the front of the store.
Speaker 1: And the guy kept telling him, no, don't do that
Speaker 1: because people see it and they think he's in here,
Speaker 1: and it's like, well, that's a good thing. In full uniform. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he always does that. That weird out. Yeah. Well, I
Speaker 1: mean just congrats to Dak. That just speaks to him again.
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, brands are going to continue to endorse you.
Speaker 1: People are going to continue to buy your year. And
Speaker 1: he does it again. Yep. He's young, he's likable, he's
Speaker 1: really good. Ninety eight point two passer rating keeps getting better.
Speaker 1: I mean he's on pace for I don't know thirty
Speaker 1: eight hundred passing yards. Kim Newton should learn some things.
Speaker 1: Also figured out that if if he had not had
Speaker 1: those two drop passes into interceptions, he'd be at like
Speaker 1: one oh three almost one oh four his quarterback rating. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he hasn't been the problem. If there's a problem,
Speaker 1: he's Yeah, I would I said it before. I'd hate
Speaker 1: to see where this team would be if he wasn't
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Right now, let's go back to the phone lines.
Speaker 1: We have Ray from Fort Worth on the line. What
Speaker 1: is your question? Okay, First, I'd like to say Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz by a landslide, not because of targets, but because
Speaker 1: he's a dual threat. He's also he's running the ball better,
Speaker 1: keeping his eyes down the field. He's playing a lot
Speaker 1: better than he was by last last season. You can't
Speaker 1: relax on him. You're not worrying about Kirk Cousins taking
Speaker 1: off and running down the field. So I mean he's
Speaker 1: so Carson Wentz is so much better than he was
Speaker 1: land by a landslide. He's got better people, Dallas Um,
Speaker 1: like you were saying in regards to Sean Lee the
Speaker 1: field general, we have to have him healthy and ready
Speaker 1: to go in this game. I mean, he's so much
Speaker 1: fun to watch him, to be honest, that's I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to focus on him on the defensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball and the games that they offensive coordinated tries
Speaker 1: to play to occupy him because they know he's such
Speaker 1: a problem. He's about far our our best coverage guy,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna need him in this game because they're
Speaker 1: gonna try to isolate those they're trying they're gonna get
Speaker 1: the running backs involved in the passing game. And we
Speaker 1: need this game because it's the NFC East, but it's
Speaker 1: also another NFC. We can't afford another NFC lock. We
Speaker 1: can push Washington further behind us. We can't afford to
Speaker 1: lose this game because it's an NFC game. Thanks, and
Speaker 1: it's the Redskins. It's the Redskins. Be interesting to see
Speaker 1: what Carson Wentz's numbers are when they blitz him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because this guy right here, his quarterback rating is a
Speaker 1: one oh one. Blitz him, yeah, when you blitz him,
Speaker 1: you know, and by the way, a matter of found
Speaker 1: in the ball twenty two times for one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty one. And then you're also thinking about this too.
Speaker 1: This team is one of the top teams in the league.
Speaker 1: When it comes to a third and plus ten conversions,
Speaker 1: third and more third and ten more yards conversion, That's
Speaker 1: that's saying a lot about a guy when he when
Speaker 1: he's converting at that rate. You know, you get a
Speaker 1: guy forty one percent of the time they're converting at
Speaker 1: those rates. That's that says a little bit about your quarterback.
Speaker 1: I'd be interested to see what Carson Wentz's numbers are.
Speaker 1: Make sure you go score thirty points? Ye all? I
Speaker 1: gotta say, yep? Can they do that this weekend? Last
Speaker 1: three teams that played the Redskins average twenty nine points
Speaker 1: a game. Well, you're one and two when you've scored
Speaker 1: thirty points last three helps you better score thirty again?
Speaker 1: You better do it again. If you didn't score, if
Speaker 1: you didn't score thirty, still be one and two? Is
Speaker 1: if this feels like one of those forty one thirty
Speaker 1: eight gaps, even in the rain, it feels like that
Speaker 1: to me. I feel like it's always. I think these
Speaker 1: games always are lower scoring games than people expect them
Speaker 1: to be. It's tough to play at that place. It
Speaker 1: is tough. I mean, you get great fans there for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I mean it turns into it turns into
Speaker 1: a fist fight in the stands, But I mean on
Speaker 1: the field, it's you know, we could talk about their
Speaker 1: bank up offensive line and all that, and hopefully they'll
Speaker 1: take advantage of that. But man, I mean it's and
Speaker 1: this this, this game is not going to be I
Speaker 1: don't think this is gonna be one of those easy games.
Speaker 1: Tough to watch the game at that place. They can't
Speaker 1: see that low, very difficult low angle. Yeah. Yeah, what else?
Speaker 1: You pissed off about the worst worst press box in
Speaker 1: the league. You're about to go to that in December,
Speaker 1: oh Oakland. Yeah, but at least you could see the game.
Speaker 1: Sure you can. You're eighteen miles from the field, but
Speaker 1: you're still not baseball baseball press box. Not that high though, Yea.
Speaker 1: Here you're low and in the corner. Yeah, big runs,
Speaker 1: the look have gone anywhere? Can't you have no depth
Speaker 1: recept perception. I swear it was a one game when
Speaker 1: it was the DeMarco Murray game that when he's the
Speaker 1: fourth down play, we couldn't tell, ye because we were
Speaker 1: at one inning, we couldn't tell if it was in
Speaker 1: or not. I mean we were like screaming, you have
Speaker 1: to watch the big screen. Yeah, you have to figure
Speaker 1: out the screen. Yeah yeah, Well, Dak Press TV. We're
Speaker 1: such complainers. We're very lucky to be at at and
Speaker 1: T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, home of great food.
Speaker 1: Press box the people, the people there that cover the
Speaker 1: team complain about As a matter of fact, they complained
Speaker 1: enough that they got us and I don't know if
Speaker 1: they still had it. They found a separate small box
Speaker 1: up high but on the fifty yard line for one
Speaker 1: beat writer from each team, that from each paper that
Speaker 1: covered the team, to be able to watch the game.
Speaker 1: That's good from so they could see. Yeah, I kind
Speaker 1: of like it. Yeah, it's different. Well, the Cowboys will
Speaker 1: return to Rob's the most polite guy in the world.
Speaker 1: He is against the Chiefs, who have to take on
Speaker 1: the Broncos this weekend. So both the Cowboys and the
Speaker 1: Chiefs have to take on divisional opponents, which is kind
Speaker 1: of like, finally the schedule's feeling a little bit more. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Ten straight weeks though, now, I mean, I mean, we've
Speaker 1: got you got the you had you know last week.
Speaker 1: Of course, you had to find a way to win
Speaker 1: the game at San Francis. But this is good be
Speaker 1: a tough run now, I mean it really really is
Speaker 1: with the opponents, And do you think this is a
Speaker 1: hard as four game stretch for this team? You're talking
Speaker 1: about the role I was said earlier. I said earlier
Speaker 1: though that I felt like, yeah that you know, Kansas
Speaker 1: City has lost a couple of games, they give them
Speaker 1: up a lot of points last couple of weeks. Atlanta
Speaker 1: Steve Sarkiss, and I don't know what he's doing with
Speaker 1: their offense there in Atlanta, I really really don't. They've
Speaker 1: had a lot of problems there, you know that it's
Speaker 1: not as good as it once was. And they thought
Speaker 1: about there would be some growing pains there with him
Speaker 1: as an OC. But that that Atlanta bunch. Now they've
Speaker 1: lost a couple of games at home, which we never
Speaker 1: thought that would happen with them. But yeah, you gotta
Speaker 1: get past this. This you gotta not get past You
Speaker 1: gotta find a way to win these. You know, you
Speaker 1: gotta get a little role. You know, last year, you
Speaker 1: know felt like if if you want to hang in there,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean the vision, I mean, still you
Speaker 1: got Philadelphia twice, which will help you. Got to win
Speaker 1: those games, but you can't. You can't just give away
Speaker 1: any more games, especially if Washington's has banged up as
Speaker 1: we think they are. Yeah, I mean just think the
Speaker 1: difference of one wind makes oh yeah, four and two,
Speaker 1: three and three? Yeah. Rob, Can you believe that he's
Speaker 1: saying that because he doesn't think the first place schedule matters.
Speaker 1: It matters. It absolutely matters. And that's what you're just saying, Mick,
Speaker 1: it matters. I said one win, I didn't say anything
Speaker 1: about the schedule. Yeah, but if you're going up against
Speaker 1: a harder team, so if they had beaten the Rams,
Speaker 1: the first place schedule doesn't matter a hill of beans
Speaker 1: because you have to play them and everybody else had
Speaker 1: to play them. I've been loving your expressions lately. Somebody
Speaker 1: actually tweeted at me the other day. You said make
Speaker 1: hay may kay. Yeah. Yeah, it's right. They tweeted at
Speaker 1: me the explanation of that, saying that when you make
Speaker 1: hay in the sun or something, then it's it's just
Speaker 1: a very beautiful saying. So you're learning. I am alert,
Speaker 1: especially if you listen now. David Irving will play three
Speaker 1: Tech this week, and yeah, and that's going to be
Speaker 1: an interesting thing because now that opens up different internities
Speaker 1: for Taco and everybody around there. Do you guys think
Speaker 1: that Taco can have a big game this weekend? Should
Speaker 1: he have a big game this weekend, can get his
Speaker 1: first sack? I told you that yesterday. Prediction by a teammate. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Green with Crawford, I'd like to see him. I'd like
Speaker 1: to see him be more consistent, I really would. I mean,
Speaker 1: if he's going to get more snaps, be consistent every snap,
Speaker 1: don't play, don't get your first sack and then go
Speaker 1: away for five plays. Kind of build on that. Find
Speaker 1: a way. Hey, if you're gonna have some success, if
Speaker 1: you're gonna play, I always say his play technique, you know,
Speaker 1: give those coaches a reason to keep you in there
Speaker 1: be it be a difference maker. Today, well, he talked
Speaker 1: about I think a couple of weeks ago you need
Speaker 1: and it's kind of like running backs. You know, more
Speaker 1: plays you get, you get into a rhythm. So and
Speaker 1: Brian talked about what you earn those snaps and then
Speaker 1: you get So if he's if he's locked in for
Speaker 1: thirty plus snaps, we'll see, maybe it's an opportunity for
Speaker 1: him to build a rhythm as a rusher Russia. I
Speaker 1: think he need down after confidence. I think he really does.
Speaker 1: I think he's I watched him that play after the
Speaker 1: play the other day when we gets Joe staleyof balance,
Speaker 1: he's got a shot. He falls down after the play.
Speaker 1: You see him like take his hands and like slam
Speaker 1: in his head because he knew, he knew he'd done
Speaker 1: the right thing to get home on the rush and
Speaker 1: he didn't finish it. I think he needs some confidence.
Speaker 1: And if he could get two or three or four
Speaker 1: plays in a row where he's having some success with it,
Speaker 1: you know, he gets some say he's in there and
Speaker 1: he gets two of the three plays he makes a
Speaker 1: tackle in a run or gets pressure, knocks a ball
Speaker 1: down tips. I think that would help him. I think
Speaker 1: he just needs some success and he hasn't had that yet.
Speaker 1: And once he gets him, maybe he'll turn the corner
Speaker 1: a little bit on that. Now it's going to be
Speaker 1: a slippery field. Yeah, and thing about that, Yeah, he
Speaker 1: needs longer spikes. He just needs too, as Charltons, something
Speaker 1: he needs. He just needs to have some good play,
Speaker 1: some successful plays, and I it'll get him into a rhythm.
Speaker 1: We've seen him at Michigan. You know, he'd have games
Speaker 1: where he'd have four or five really good plays and
Speaker 1: you're like, man, okay, he's I could see why Dallas
Speaker 1: did what they did. But you know, he hasn't had
Speaker 1: that yet. And we've seen him in some practices have
Speaker 1: a couple of good rushes. We saw it in the preseason. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he just can't get He's not consistent enough doing it,
Speaker 1: and that's that's a big issue. On the other side
Speaker 1: of the ball. Do you think that Lyle Collins is
Speaker 1: more confident this week going up against somebody like Ryan
Speaker 1: Kerrigan than he might have been to start this season.
Speaker 1: He's seen a lot of big time defensive ends, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right. I think it's got to serve him well. Right,
Speaker 1: even start dating back to preseason where you get a
Speaker 1: few snaps against Khalil Mack, He's it's been a row
Speaker 1: of von Miller Miller. Yeah. Yeah, and he's he's the
Speaker 1: best player on their defense this other than Josh Norman. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is one of those you keep an eye on.
Speaker 1: This is and I could see Dallas using some max
Speaker 1: protection here and they'll they'll try and but yeah, you move,
Speaker 1: if you move Carrigan over to the other side. Who
Speaker 1: you've getting him against Tyren Smith. Okay, you really don't
Speaker 1: want to do that if you're you know, if you're
Speaker 1: a Greg Manuski, you want to say, Okay, we'll take
Speaker 1: our chances with Lyle Collins. But Lyle Collins, it felt
Speaker 1: like he's played pretty well. He hasn't been the weak
Speaker 1: link in this offensive line. I know people were saying, oh,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of changes and this and that and
Speaker 1: the other, but I think overall he's been pretty consistent.
Speaker 1: I was using the word consistent. I'll use it right
Speaker 1: there with him, but it's it's not gonna be easy.
Speaker 1: Ryan Carrigan is a relentless, come after you guy, down
Speaker 1: after down after down. He's gonna you know, he's a
Speaker 1: hard guy to when they boot waggle to get to
Speaker 1: the outside because he doesn't get fool He's just not
Speaker 1: gonna come flying down inside. So you have to almost
Speaker 1: play to the echo of the whistle when you're playing
Speaker 1: against him. You gotta finish him off. You can't let
Speaker 1: him come back in and chase a player, chase a ball.
Speaker 1: If Dak's running around the pocket, you got to make
Speaker 1: sure Carrogan's taken care of because if you don't, he's
Speaker 1: the one that's gonna make the tackle more so than
Speaker 1: anybody else on that defense. But a bull's eye on
Speaker 1: him in the running game. Make him play the run.
Speaker 1: Don't let him have the freedom to just rush the passer.
Speaker 1: Let his little skinny butt have to play the run.
Speaker 1: Skinny butt? Is that like Jack Rabbit on the Giants?
Speaker 1: Maybe that's how you interpret that he's an outside linebacker. Yes,
Speaker 1: make him play the run, get the ball on the edge,
Speaker 1: and if he's got to respect the run, it's going
Speaker 1: to slow down his pass rush. Yeah, it's a run
Speaker 1: on him. I was just saying that Lyle Collins probably
Speaker 1: feels a lot better about seeing him over there than
Speaker 1: somebody like Von Miller. Well, but this guy's a really
Speaker 1: good pass rusher. This guy's good. I know that. I
Speaker 1: know that, but I feel, like Lyle Collins, you're talking
Speaker 1: about building up confidence. Nobody wants to see von Miller.
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right about that, But I think that you
Speaker 1: have to be careful with this guy. I really really do.
Speaker 1: I mean to me, this guy will attack you, and
Speaker 1: he'll attack the edge. He's got pass rushers. Von Miller's
Speaker 1: the same way. Von Miller's got quickness, explosiveness. This guy's
Speaker 1: got a little bit more power, and he's got a
Speaker 1: little bit more linked to him, and he's a little
Speaker 1: bit more of a like I say, a longer guy
Speaker 1: to get into you and get rid of you. So
Speaker 1: be careful with this guy. Alfred Morris had a touchdown
Speaker 1: last year when the Cowboys headed up to Washington. Of course,
Speaker 1: that was his first game back since they'd let him
Speaker 1: go in free agency. Well loved up there, well, well,
Speaker 1: well loved. Yeah, he went out before the game. If
Speaker 1: you remember, you're on the you get on the field
Speaker 1: three hours for everybody else. And he was going and
Speaker 1: shaking hands with all the people that work in the
Speaker 1: stadium and stuff. They I mean, they all go up,
Speaker 1: and I mean he's a big he's a big part
Speaker 1: of what their community was really all about with the Redskins. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they loved him up there, and I wonder if he'll
Speaker 1: still do the same in the rain. Mickey and I
Speaker 1: will keep our eyes posted in our trench coats the
Speaker 1: same in the rain play as well. Talk Alfred Morris
Speaker 1: talking to those people the stadium, fam. He'll get it.
Speaker 1: He'll get him underneath. Yeah, by thet true. That's a
Speaker 1: good point. We'll have to look for that. Yeah. Alfred Morris,
Speaker 1: what a guy. He is a great guy. When he
Speaker 1: touchdown last year winning touchdown. All right, everybody who join
Speaker 1: us tomorrow for our Friday show is Mickey will probably
Speaker 1: be choosing to Marcus Lawrence. But you know you got
Speaker 1: to see what Rob and Brian. Thanks coming for you,
Speaker 1: Thanks coming for you. So join us then we will
Speaker 1: be back same place, same time tomorrow. This has been
