19
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,080

20
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: worst worst lineman of the starting five, and he was

21
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,120

26
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: Never heard of Glenn Titans or GTT No, I haven't

27
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: heard him. See, Like, when you throw out a number,

28
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: the first thing that I do automatically is just go

29
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: back to the ninth nineteen eighty three, eighty four teams

30
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: when I was like seven and eight. That was. That's

31
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: one thing. I could just give you a number that.

32
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: But I don't always want to do that. I want

33
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,399
Speaker 1: to mix it up a little bit. But sixty three

34
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: Glenn Titans or yesterday I had to do with Brian Baldinger. Yeah, yeah,

35
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: I learned something. Yes, Yeah, what about Aaron Gibson Big

36
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: his head was biggest came from the from the Lions

37
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: five pounds or something. It was like four hundred pounds,

38
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: and they they had to just give the Lions had

39
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: to ship their helmet over and they and luckily they

40
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: didn't have to do a lot of changing of the

41
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: paint schemes and all that stuff. But yeah, he had

42
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: the biggest head ever and they were like, well, we gotta,

43
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: we gotta figure this out. We gotta we don't have

44
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: a helmet like that the last It wasn't Mike's here

45
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: that long, I think for the Desperadoes at one point,

46
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: but he probably had that same helmet. Jeez. All right, dude,

47
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: all right, um, let's let's talk some injuries. We got

48
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: a few guys we need to catch up on Tyren Smith.

49
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: He's now missed two games games and uh and but

50
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: it sounds like there's a possibility he may be back

51
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: this week. Possible. Yeah, well, yeah, we'll stick with possible.

52
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: Stephen Stephen Jones gave him a glowing review on Monday.

53
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, add him to the list of

54
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: people who might be able, who should be able to play,

55
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: And Jerry Jones says, yeah, I agree with that. We

56
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: get this interview, He's like, I get yeah. He's like,

57
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: I get the same report as Stephen does, so yes, yeah,

58
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: they feel good. He's gonna he's gonna be involved in

59
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: the individual you know, the early portion of practice before

60
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: you get into the team reps um. McCarthy said they'll

61
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: evaluate him to see if he does more kind of

62
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: feel like McCarthy just says that to make everybody feel better. Like,

63
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: so I doubt, I doubt he'll do a ton in

64
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: team today, but I guess we don't know that for sure.

65
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, he'll be He'll be out there, he'll be

66
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: practicing any idea what he has to do this week

67
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: in order to pet I assume they have some kind

68
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: of threshold where they say, okay, he's ready to go,

69
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: get into the team period, whether it's today or tomorrow.

70
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: Do tackle things, go against a rush and feel okay

71
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: doing it? Feel okay on Friday? Yeah, let mean do

72
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: it Thursday, feel okay on Friday. What's your sense when

73
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: Stephen Jones says on Monday like he's got a real shot,

74
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: add him to the list of guys who should be

75
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: able to step up and go I'm gonna rock with that.

76
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: This is a huge game, absolutely playing the chefs. You

77
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: gotta go out there, and that's went over a lot

78
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: of people. I don't I know you guys probably do,

79
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: but I think it's some some people that probably went

80
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: over the all time great commercial. It was all time.

81
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: That's great commercial. Absolutely, what were you saying, Amber, I

82
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: was gonna say that if that comment had come from

83
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, initially we would have been like, oh, maybe

84
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: let's not get so excited because we know he's very,

85
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: very optimistic. That's what makes it funny and encouraging. Like

86
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: Stevens not usually, Steven's pretty good about not giving stuff away.

87
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: He plays a little closer to the chess than Jerry does,

88
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: and he's just like, yeah, he's gonna play, so I'm

89
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: I'm taking that to the bank. If he doesn't play,

90
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: I'll be surprised. All right, good talking about Seedee Lamb.

91
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: He did get hurt in the game, it didn't seem

92
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: like it was a huge deal. Seemed like they were

93
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: kind of pulling starters at that point. Anyway, what are

94
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: we hearing about him? It was a boo boo I

95
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: think like, no, I'm not like making fun of CD Lamb.

96
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: I'm just that's a he bruised his arm. He said

97
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: it was nagging at him and it hurt. But like,

98
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: if the game was close, he wouldn't have I don't

99
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: think he would have sat. So for going forward, we

100
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: should be I don't nobody even asked McCarthy about it

101
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: today because it's just a foregone injury as well, it

102
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: sounds like he was additioning out more pain than than

103
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: delivering it, you know, or getting you know. He yeah,

104
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: seriously headbudded Dak in the face. That's pretty funny. Actually

105
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: that's for everybody but Dak. Yeah, I mean he laughed, Dak.

106
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: I mean some inside the NFL got him miked up.

107
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: He was kind of laughing like cheez, CD, thanks man

108
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: of them. That's cool that they able to do that. Yeah,

109
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: I thought somebody had kind of poked him, you know,

110
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: like after in the postgame press conference, I'm like, what

111
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: happened is I'm thinking somebody poked him and didn't know

112
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: it was like his own teammates. That's a tough, real

113
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: quick point about CD. He's a tough so yeah he

114
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean, if I think he used a different if

115
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: if Dave can can that was a really good one,

116
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: by the way, No, it was not didn't even do it.

117
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: I saw all of our lives flash before my eyes

118
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: as he did that. What's so funny is just like

119
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: like a week ago, somebody even asked me, how do

120
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: y'all what do y'all do when you when y'all drop

121
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: the F bomb. I was like, we don't, we just

122
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: don't do it. Yeah, and then until but yeah, he

123
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: was always the first time he's that probably wasn't the

124
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: first time. But real quick, real quick about CD. It's

125
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: just a great example of like and that's minor, but

126
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: when we talk about players are always dealing with something

127
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: that only gets reported because he sits out for the

128
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: rest of the game and it gets called up to

129
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: the press box, like and we noticed it. We noticed

130
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: when he left the field kind of moving his arm

131
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: with that happens like six times a game. But the

132
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: guy goes back in because it's a close game and

133
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: you have to. That's what we're saying. When you're like,

134
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: everybody's dealing with something in November CD that it probably

135
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: still but it's not going to keep him out of

136
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: the game, you know. But I think the thing to

137
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: remember too is that that's also the nature of football players.

138
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: When there are adrenalines pumping, sometimes they can do things

139
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: that then when it stops, they're like, oh gosh, this

140
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: is not this is a real injury. I mean, I

141
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: think about Robert Woods out in LA They said he

142
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: tore his ACL, he continued with practice, he did his

143
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: post game, I mean, his post practice interview with the media.

144
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: Then later they did some tests on it and found

145
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: out he had torn his ACL. Like that's where you're like,

146
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: it's it's just these guys are a different breed. They

147
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: just aren't normal human beings when it comes to pain tolerance.

148
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: And so that's why you have to at least ask

149
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: the question, is this something more? Because you just never

150
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: know if it's something more once that adrenaline stops pumping.

151
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: All Right, a couple of guys that we want to

152
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: talk about from the standpoint of returning to the lineup,

153
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence, Nevill Gallimore. How far are we awaigh on

154
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: those guys and getting them back out there? This is

155
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: this is becoming a subplot, and I totally under stand why,

156
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: especially in the case of Neville Neville Gallimore, because he

157
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: hyper extends his elbow on like August fourteenth, it's Thanksgiving basically,

158
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: it's it's been so it's been three months, yeah, and

159
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: he's not His practice window hasn't started, and people are like,

160
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: oh my god, did he have a setback? Is something

161
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: terribly wrong? Where the hell is this guy he hasn't

162
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: had a setback. I think he's out there every day

163
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: rehabbing and doing the stuff that he's supposed to do.

164
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: I think it's just a case of an injury that

165
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: drastically affects the position that he plays. I don't know.

166
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if he's had a setback,

167
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: but I'm not one hundred percent sure that he hasn't.

168
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a long window, right, I thought,

169
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: then they say that's no, it's eight weeks. It was

170
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: it will but that's I feel like eight weeks, but

171
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: people people here six to eight and then you hope

172
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: for the best. So you're straight for a punter. You're

173
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: leaning heavily on that six. Yeah, And I guess you're right.

174
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: I don't know for sure that he hasn't had a setback,

175
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: but I think this is just a case where you

176
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: need your arm strength to do that job. It's not

177
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: something that you can gut through like maybe, um, who's

178
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: a guy that doesn't necessarily need full safe Yeah, yeah,

179
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: you need that leverage. And McCarthy has talked to us

180
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: about this, where it's like you can see him hitting

181
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: the sled and you just know that the arm strength

182
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: isn't where it needs to be to get into a

183
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: game and be useful. I get that that's frustrating, but

184
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: this is weird too, because, like y'all correct me if

185
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: you think I'm wrong, it feels like we're kind of

186
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: close to the end of the season right in your mind.

187
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: Does it kind of feel that way? Yeah, when you

188
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: when you start getting to Thanksgiving? Yeah, yeah, there's eight

189
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 1: games left to play. We're halfway through. They are at

190
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: the halfway, but it just kind of feels in my

191
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: mind like you're like a month away because the December

192
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: is the end of the season, but they go two

193
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: weeks into January this year because of the seventeenth game.

194
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: There's a lot of football, and so I get that

195
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: it's frustrating, but I don't think it's a huge deal.

196
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: And I think I don't think you're going to see

197
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: the markets or Gallimore until December probably, But even then,

198
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: you're talking about having him for five or six games maybe,

199
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: do you think? I mean, how do you? Because last

200
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: year it was exciting the things that we got to

201
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: see from him, but then with him being out this long,

202
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: do you guys see it like really affecting kind of

203
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: his improvement that he was already doing and him taking

204
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: him maybe a couple of weeks to even I mean,

205
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: my point is like he's been out this long, then

206
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: he comes back, let's say December, and then even then

207
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: you're not really getting much use out of him because

208
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of taking him a while to get that

209
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: rost of himself. So at that point, what January is

210
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: when you're really getting good use out of him? Absolutely, yeah,

211
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: you don't need him, that's the great part, right, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,

212
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: but there's so many guys playing defensive tackle. I'm playing

213
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: defensive tackle. Well, you don't need him, so whatever he

214
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: can give you at that point is kind of gravy. Right,

215
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: That's that's where I'm at. If no one else gets injured,

216
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: good point of course, at this point of the season,

217
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: that's when that starts happening. I'm not trying to spin

218
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: it as this positive that these guys aren't available, but

219
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: it at least is fun to think. Let's let's so

220
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: we we said Thanksgiving, right, initially, we we know that's

221
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: not happening, and now I'm even so I'm thinking like

222
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: December twelfth, December nineteenth, those are for both of them.

223
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: Probably no, I see, Um, you know, if you could

224
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: look out the window and see Tank, You're like, you know,

225
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: I would imagine you'd see someone that looks pretty good,

226
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: pretty good, like I've seen worse. You've had just this

227
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 1: premonition if you could see if you could see him, Yeah,

228
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: I think it's like he's working out and in shape,

229
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: and I think he Yeah, I've had that same dream, like, yeah,

230
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: like his footwork looks good for a guy that broke

231
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: his foot, if you could see him, probably look better

232
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: than the guy that's probably out there rehabbing with him

233
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: and is going to play on Sunday. I'm getting a

234
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: little crazy here, d law. I didn't have that dream base.

235
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: Let me go back, let me go back to Galimar. Yeah, well,

236
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I woke up, so I

237
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: don't know. After that he lost. Yeah, um, I think

238
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: Gallimar though, you know, you're like, well, you don't really

239
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: need him, Like like forty three to three was was nice. Yeah,

240
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: we're only about twelve days removed from like the Bronco

241
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: Bronco Nagurski just running through them and all that, so

242
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: somebody was needed there. It was getting the ass kicked

243
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,479
Speaker 1: on that d line. So I'm just saying, like, yeah,

244
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: they could show up the running game a little bit more.

245
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: There's been some time, especially when you get a team

246
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: that really likes to do that. So I'm not sure

247
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: he's the guy to do it, but I mean, yeah,

248
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: somebody has needed him, urban you know, somebody coming back.

249
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: I completely agree. I don't I don't want to say

250
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: they don't need him, but I do the fun thing

251
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: for me, you'd love to have both of them back

252
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 1: a sap. But again, let's just say December nineteenth, just

253
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: as a hypothetical date that they can both play. That's

254
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: still yes, Giants game. That still gives you. So that

255
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: gives you Giants, Washington Cardinals, Eagles. That gives you a

256
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: month of games. Did you say bye? Yeah after that? Okay,

257
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: whatever however you want to call it. That gives you

258
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: a month of games. And then what's the end goal

259
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: for this team, the playoffs. So now you get four

260
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: games to round those guys into form and get humming

261
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: as you get into what matters where like this is

262
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: this is unusual territory for the Cowboys because even in

263
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: eighteen they were trying to catch up, they were trying

264
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: to gain ground because they started three and five. This

265
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: is a weird situation where, yeah, all these games are

266
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: important and you gotta win them, but you can kind

267
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: of you have that target in mind of like we're

268
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: not trying to make the playoffs. We are in the playoffs,

269
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: and we gotta get ready for those games, you know,

270
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that makes people uncomfortable, but that's

271
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: where this team's thought process. But the thing is is

272
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: these four or five games in a row are tough.

273
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: Like this is going to be the toughest stretch right here,

274
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get to that a little bit more

275
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: as we go through the week and talk about Kansas City.

276
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: They've gotten to this point without those guys, so like,

277
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: it's again, it's it's not the situation where like we

278
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: need you back because we're a game back in the

279
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: standings and we got to do this. It's like, yeah,

280
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: we're we're ninety nine percent gonna win the division, ninety

281
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: five percent, whatever you want to say it. And again,

282
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: that's not to diminish the games ahead on the schedule,

283
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: but there are larger things you need to consider as well.

284
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: I feel like until this point, we've been or at

285
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: least me. I'm like, Okay, take your time, It's okay.

286
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: But now I'm like, okay, getting answer up. Let's get

287
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: moving here. It is the number one thing that we

288
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: get asked, like it's our mail bag today on the site.

289
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: I get it. Five tweets about it an hour, and

290
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: I get it. I completely understand why it frustrates people.

291
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: But there's it least a benefit to it. If there's

292
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: a lot of football left to go. I'll tell you what,

293
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: like this week, I would love to see and this

294
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: is when we go out to practice. I would love

295
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: to see Randy Gregory on those chords because Gregory can

296
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: come back after the Thanksgiving Day game if if he

297
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: misses three games. But we saw with Dak, we saw

298
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: what he I know, every calf injury in different. I

299
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: get it. But like we saw with Dak, he was

300
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: kind of on those chords, probably ten days or so

301
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: before he actually played in a game. So it would

302
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: be nice if Gregory can come back soon. It would

303
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: be nice to see him start already rehabbing. It's unfair

304
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: to compare, but McCarthy did say it's more of a

305
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: Dak calf injury than a Gallop calf injury. Which is

306
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: very encouraging. YEA, all right, we're gonna take We're gonna

Speaker 1: simple factors. The crease in his hat, the bend of

314
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: his brim, and his unbending attitude a man. Stetson didn't

315
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: just protect him from what life throw at him. It

357
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't guess it's a home. I guess sixty. Yeah,

358
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: So I'm like that. I don't know, and it seems

359
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: to rock. The Rockefeller Tree is like a hundred, and

360
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: that's nowhere near as big, right, yeah, I don't think

361
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: so how many shacks would go up there? I don't know.

362
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: I'm just trying. It's pretty big. I don't know. You

363
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: might be right, anyway, it's you paid. I bought my

364
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: dog a dumb sant anti. I'm yeah you did. On board,

365
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: Yeah you did. We got him. It's been it's been

366
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: three weeks since this conversation started. Now it is way

367
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: more acceptable. Now, where is it? We stuff got the

368
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving so I don't know to tell me it's a

369
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: week away. It's still early, but it's not obnoxiously early.

370
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: Look at these raids at Santa, this and this. That's

371
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: what started this whole thing. My life's up in my house.

372
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: So I'm the end. It's Christmas time, guys, let's go.

373
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: I'm done fighting it. As I said the other day,

374
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean, just because you wear red like you did

375
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: on the show the other day doesn't necessarily mean that

376
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: it's always about Christmas. Right my name Merry Christmas. All right,

377
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: we'll joined right now by Bucky Brooks, NFL Network. Bucky.

378
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: Let's talk some Kansas City offense versus the Dallas defense

379
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: they have. Although they they seem to be rounding out

380
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: into form at six and four, they did have a

381
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 1: three and four start with losses to Baltimore and the

382
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: Chargers and Buffalo and Tennessee. What was the main reason

383
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: for their slow start turnovers. This is a team that

384
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: was leading the league in giveaways. They were turning the

385
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: ball over at an alarming clip. Pat Mahomes was throwing interceptions,

386
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: they were fumbling the ball all over the place, and

387
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: because they were giving teams extra opportunities and costing themselves

388
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: scoring chances, they lost a lot of games. And the

389
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: big thing that teams were doing, particularly that Pat Mahomes,

390
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: is they were sitting in a two deep shield, they

391
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: were park in the safeties in the parking lot, and

392
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: they were testing the discipline and patience of Pat Mahomes.

393
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: And he failed the test because he would continue to

394
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: try and push the ball down the field when there

395
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: was an umbrella there. And he had a number of

396
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: interceptions on tips and overthrows because he's trying to fit

397
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: the ball into windows that just aren't open. So when

398
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: you have Kelsey, why would you do that? Like? Why,

399
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: I mean why? Why it is that just goes down

400
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: to patience? Is it just like he's just one of

401
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: those things where he just wants to let's get this

402
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: thing done quicker, because it seems like you could with him,

403
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: you could kind of dink and dunk down the field. Yeah,

404
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: but that's not fun for them, and that makes sense

405
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: like the yeah, yeah, they'd like to go to State Warriors,

406
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: and to go to State Warriors from where they're killing

407
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: you with the three point shot. They are energized off

408
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: big plays, and so when they don't get big plays,

409
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: it's hard for them to kind of get into their

410
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: rhythm and get into the group because they feed off

411
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill going crazy, Travis Kelcey, Mikole Harman and any

412
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: of the perimeter playmakers making explosive plays. And so when

413
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: they don't get that, Pat Mahomes gets impatient and he

414
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: just hadn't been able early in the year to just

415
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: live with they to five six R completion, We'll take

416
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: our time moving the ball down the field. That frustrates them,

417
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: and so when they don't stick to the script and

418
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: play very patient in detail, it gets sloppy. They can

419
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: get away from them. However, the last couple of weeks

420
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: they've shown more patients, they've taken better care of the ball,

421
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs that no one wants to see are

422
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: beginning to come back. I'd love to hear that they

423
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: got a lot of credit in the offseason for the

424
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: way they just completely revamped their own line trade for

425
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: Orlando Brown, drafted to guys, signed Joe Tuney, But it

426
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: hasn't and hasn't looked that great for all the talent,

427
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: at least not to this point in the season. Is

428
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: that is that just a time on task thing or

429
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 1: is somebody not playing up to their reputation. What's kind

430
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: of been the story there. Orlando Brown is not what

431
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: they thought he would be, and you know, they kind

432
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: of thought that they could put him in and put

433
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: him at a premier spot and he would succeed because

434
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: that's what he wants. He wants to be known as

435
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: a left tackle as opposed to a right tackle, but

436
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: his game is better suited to be in a run

437
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: heavy offense. Too many snaps and pass protection not good

438
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: for him. The rest of the young guys are coming

439
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: home well, and they're beginning to play the kind of

440
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: football that we're used to seeing the Kansas City Chiefs play.

441
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: And so it's one of those things where the more

442
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: that they play, Andy Read gets a better feel for

443
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: who they are and what they're about, and then he's

444
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,719
Speaker 1: able to kind of tailor the game playing to that.

445
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: But I would also say some of this falls on

446
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: Andy Reid. Andy Reid, despite being a college offensive lineman,

447
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: he prefers the photo ball all over the yard and

448
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: sometimes to the detriment. They didn't neglect the running game.

449
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: And when they didn't neglect the running game, they actually

450
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: pay into the hands of defense because the defense wants

451
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: to take away the passing game and they want to

452
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: challenge Kansas City in terms of making them run it.

453
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,479
Speaker 1: But when they don't run it and keep throwing it,

454
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,239
Speaker 1: they kind of play into their hands. Fucking mineus a

455
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: pretty general question. I feel like, looking in the past

456
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: few weeks, the end results of both teams have been

457
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: kind of similar to each other as far as like

458
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: what the defense is allowing versus what the offense is scoring,

459
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: especially this past week with both of them kind of

460
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: coming in with forty plus points. I just want to know,

461
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: how would you compare these two teams in general, what

462
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,479
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are doing currently versus what the Cowboys are

463
00:23:55,480 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: currently doing. Actually think they're very, very similar on both

464
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. I think both teams their best

465
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: defense is their offense. If they can put you in

466
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: a situation where you're forced to chase points and they

467
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: force you to be one dimensional when you have the ball.

468
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: That's the way that they want to play. And so

469
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: both teams want to push the envelope a little more

470
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: on offense so they can make you abandon the running game,

471
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: and then you have to throw into a defense against

472
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: the defense that knows that you have to throw, so

473
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: they can put in their ears back and go rush

474
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 1: the pass, so they can sit back and coverage and

475
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: go kind of play the ball and read the quarterback

476
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: size the Kencie. The Chiefs have improved the last three weeks,

477
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: particularly on defense. Spacks has kind of gotten the defense

478
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: resolved and fixing. He typically likes to fix things by blessing.

479
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: His answer to everything is able. Let's just dowalod depression.

480
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: We're figured out, see if we can get a play

481
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: or two. And that's what they're living for. And so

482
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: this is a defense that lives off the big play, sacks,

483
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: tackles for losses, interceptions, force fumbles. If they get any

484
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: of those things, then they're playing the game the way

485
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: they want to play it. And so Dallas has to

486
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: be aware it's a ball security game. You got to

487
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: really take care of the football. When you go back

488
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,239
Speaker 1: and look at Tennessee's games. There's one clear outlier in

489
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: my opinion, that's the game they played against Tennessee. Tennessee

490
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: held in the three points, their lowest output all season.

491
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: What did Tennessee do during that game that's shut down

492
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: that offense? And the secondary question of that is does

493
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: Dallas have that sort of repertoire, that sort of scheme.

494
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: Is that something that Dallas is capable of doing to

495
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: have similar results? Well, one thing that you have to

496
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: know when you play Tennessee, you get into a street fight.

497
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: Their answer for everything is more physicality, more toughness. They

498
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: want to make it an ugly contest by putting their

499
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 1: bodies on you and seeing if you have the mental

500
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: and physical toughness to withstand that steady badger body blows

501
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: that they throw at you throw at you. The Cowboys

502
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 1: certainly can do that, because when the Cowboys wont too,

503
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: they can be as physical as any other team in football.

504
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: But it's going to require upfront. The defense is going

505
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: to have to play big boy ball many They have

506
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: to be able to win their matchups in the trenches.

507
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: They have to be able to get around and make

508
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback uncomfortable. And if they can make the quarterback

509
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: uncomfortable without having to bring added rushes. Then they can

510
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: sit back in coverage and make him throw the ball

511
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: in front of the defense and rally and tackle. But

512
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a it's gonna have to be a

513
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: team effort, a concerted effort between the pass rush and

514
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: the coverage. Everybody has to be working on the same page,

515
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: and they have to bring their a games. On Sunday, Bucky,

516
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: I see where Byron Pringle, their receiver runs in the

517
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: four four range, and so Mikoel Hartman can run. Obviously

518
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: Tyreek kill If those three guys were running a relay

519
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: race and you were the fourth one, could they could

520
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs still win the race with those three in

521
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: you can you still bring it? And also can Tyreek

522
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: kind of make up for it if you can't? Oh yeah,

523
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: they can bring you. See because when you run a

524
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: four bar one, Nick, what you can do is you

525
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: can shorten how much I have to run at the end,

526
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: so I can get I can either get the beaton.

527
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: What I would do is I will start with Tatreek

528
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 1: to make sure that I had a big league and

529
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: then they would give me the beaton at the very

530
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: end of the exchange on. So I'm only running maybe

531
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: eighty five ninety meters. All they got to do then

532
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: is just hold on for dear life. I can hold

533
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: on a little bit, but I need a big league

534
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna just close my eyes and even

535
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: though I hear the spikes ticking behind me, I'm just

536
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: gonna leave it to tape and see if I can

537
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: finish it. But they are a fast I mean, they

538
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: are a fast team, and when they get going, it

539
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: is problematic. So it'll be interesting to see how the

540
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys practice. Sometimes when you play a team as fast

541
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: as those guys, you will put your scout team receivers

542
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: two or three yards down the field, so the guys

543
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,719
Speaker 1: can get used to feeling that pressure on their cushion

544
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: when they're back faming, so they can get used to

545
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: anticipating their speed. I can't follow that up. Well, the

546
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: funny thing that Nick didn't say was who are they

547
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: running against? Because they're running aginst the four of us. No,

548
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: I think they're probably okay. You know, when we come back,

549
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: and we come back in the next segment, we'll talk

550
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: about it more. But maybe we'll see who the Cowboys

551
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: is boys. I do know this. When you start talking

552
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: about fastest players and receivers and all that stuff, that's

553
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: one way to get these guys on that side of

554
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 1: the building start chirping and oh I heard what you said,

555
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: Like nobody wants to be if you're a skill player.

556
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: We mentioned four guys, there will be three or four

557
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: others of all like hello, yeah, you miss me me?

558
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: Hey real quick, you have real quick before we let

559
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: you go. I didn't want to have one other question.

560
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: Understand what Dallas has done on defense? How would you

561
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: strategically defend guys like Hill and Kelsey because obviously they

562
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: are really great, and they're really great with yards after

563
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: the catch. How do you think what do you think

564
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: is the best way to defend an offense like that

565
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: with those two players? So, I mean, here's the dilemma, right.

566
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: The teams that have had the most success have played

567
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: a lot of Cover two against him, too deep safety,

568
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: split the field line. Those guys are about fifteen to

569
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: sixteen yards, minimal pressure in terms of blitz pressure, line

570
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: up and play coverage and make Pat Mahomes throw the checkdown.

571
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: He canna have as much time as he wants to throw.

572
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: But he's gonna have to throw the checkdown and we're

573
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: not going to let the ball fly over the head.

574
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: The Cowboys haven't been a big cover two team to

575
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: this point. I don't know if they practice it enough.

576
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: If they do what they've traditionally done, it'll be some

577
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: man coverage to be some traditional regular zone. I think

578
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: the number one thing has to be no deep balls.

579
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill cannot catch one over the top of the defense.

580
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: Make everything that they catch go back to the quarterback.

581
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: He has to catch you running back to the quarterback.

582
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: The second thing, I need all eleven running to the

583
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: ball like madmen, because this is a rally and tackle game.

584
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: So whenever they catch it, they can have it. But

585
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: I don't want them to get extra yards after the catch.

586
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: So that means defensive lineman, when you rushed the passer

587
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: when the ball is thrown, I need everybody running back

588
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: to find the ball, linebackers and everybody. It has to

589
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: be all hands on debt. We need everybody throwing bodies

590
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: to get them down. And so if they keep the

591
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: ball from going over the head and they rally and tackle,

592
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: they certainly can't contain them. And then in the red

593
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: zone when you play that way the red zone, you

594
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: get three additional defenders the two sidelines and in the

595
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: end marker, So then you got fourteen bodies on the field.

596
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: Keep it in front, and as long as you can

597
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: make them kick field goals, it's a win. They can

598
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: have as many yards as they want to in between

599
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: the twenties. You got to be great in the red zone.

600
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: They do that, the Cowboys can win. All right, good stuff, Bucky,

601
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: we'll have you back tomorrow. We'll talk a little bit

602
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: about the Kansas City defense versus the Cowboys offense. We're

603
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: gonna take our final break. Let's get back. Let's talk

604
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: some more about this Dallas defense and how they're gonna

605
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: match up. We'll do that when we come right back.

606
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com. Yo. Hi, I'm Clint

607
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: Tillison with man. I'm Jay Novachek, and we're both with Turf,

608
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: the official tractor provider of the Dallas Cowboys. So if

633
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: a draft, you could size up a cowboy by three

634
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: simple factors, the crease in his hat, the bend of

635
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: his brim, and his unbending attitude a man. Stetson didn't

636
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: just protect him from what life through at him. It

637
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: projected a rugged, unstoppable spirit. Stetson hats are still American

638
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: made with pride right here in Texas. There's still the

639
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: unofficial crown of all self respecting cowboys, and Stetson is

640
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,240

654
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: let's jump into this. Let's jump into this final, this

655
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: final segment. Um. I do want to talk about something.

656
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: I started the conversation a little bit with Bucky on

657
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: I want to get you guys's opinion. Actually, Dallas's ranked

658
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: thirty first right now in yards after catch. They are

659
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: allowing six point two three yards after each reception on average,

660
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 1: McCarty says. He said in his press conference, is more

661
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: in the Kansas City kills teams with their their yact

662
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: their yards after catch? Is this the most important stat

663
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: for Dallas's defense this week? If we look at this

664
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,760
Speaker 1: stat at the end of the game, will it dictate

665
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: who won this game? No? I mean it's it's very important,

666
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. And it's it's been a problem.

667
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: I haven't done the numbers since the bye week, but

668
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 1: they gave up twenty seven in the first six weeks

669
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: of the year. That speaks volumes and it's still it's

670
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: I think it's probably been better, but it's still is

671
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: a thing. And that's what these guys do. Like for

672
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: all the we were just saying this during the break,

673
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: Like for all the worry about Tyreek Hill beating you

674
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: over the top, how about Tyreek Hill stopping short, catching

675
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 1: a thirteen yard hitch, slipping his guy and going twenty

676
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 1: eight more. You know that that is what's terrifying. But

677
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: that's not what's going to decide this I turnover margin,

678
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: I know, I mean that's basic. But Pat Mahomes loves

679
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: to give you opportunities. He loves it, and it's worked

680
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: out for him the vast majority of his career. He

681
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: should have absolute confidence in himself. But I mean, if

682
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: they can get two or maybe even three, I mean,

683
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: that's what's going to decide this game for me. Well,

684
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,919
Speaker 1: I mean the way that Bucky was talking about it too.

685
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: Whether the Cowboys play that you know, two safeties back

686
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: like that, I haven't seen them do that much of

687
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: that year at all. Either way, though, the premise is

688
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 1: going to be keep it, keep him in front of you,

689
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: make him, you know, dump it off short and if

690
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: it's third and twelve and the guy catches a screen

691
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 1: and gets eight nine yards. I mean, yeah, he's gonna

692
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: get ten or eleven yards of yak, but the punter's

693
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: coming out, so so you know what I mean. If

694
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: you can keep them in front sometimes that's that can

695
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: be a little bit misleading. If your goal is to

696
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: keep everything in front and then go go up and

697
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: make the tackle. That is It's a really good point though.

698
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 1: Jron curse is he has lived in the box this season,

699
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: like they don't drop two safeties very often, and that

700
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: has flummixed Mahomes all season. Like that's kind of been

701
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: the book on him too. Back. Yeah, and Gus Bradley

702
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: is a cover three guy. He's got history in Seattle

703
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: as well, and he just stubbornly ran cover three on

704
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: Sunday night and they murdered him. They murdered him. Yeah,

705
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: he might have been for all I'm that's it very

706
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 1: much reminded me of a we do what we do

707
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: game plan and the Nasal opponent, the Chiefs were like, awesome,

708
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: thank you so much. So I and we know dan

709
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: Quinn has he hasn't been that way. He's it's it

710
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: hasn't been boilerplate. But I do I wonder if is

711
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: it as easy as being like, well, we gotta we

712
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: need to that maybe this is a scenario where we

713
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: see more of the other guys. Well, maybe we see

714
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: more of Mally Cooker this week than we have because

715
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: the case both back then they need a guy in coverage.

716
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: And I don't know the answer to that, but it's

717
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 1: interesting to think about. I think we've talked about one

718
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: of the main problems that this Cowboys defense has is

719
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: allowing big place. Bucky talked about that big place that

720
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City does. But then also we've seen how the

721
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: defense don't make a really good play, but then the

722
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: one after that, and that goes back to your stat

723
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: I think the one after that, the guy will the

724
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: opponent will catch the ball and then run for however

725
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: many yards. So it's like it's never fully one way.

726
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: It's always okay, they stopped them here, but then give

727
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: up this much and then come back and it's just

728
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,959
Speaker 1: like hold back and forth that I think that this

729
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: week it really might bite them almost been my lip,

730
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: but bite them in the butt this week. And I

731
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: think that that's taught that you game, it's gonna be

732
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 1: a bigger problem than we think. Yeah, you know, Dave,

733
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: I'll go back to what you're saying. I actually hope

734
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: they take that strategy of give me more of Hooker

735
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: and Kazy back there at safety and keep two of

736
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: those guys back. But then let's let's lose a Curse

737
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: as you as your nickel linebacker, and so really you're

738
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: gonna have three safeties on the field. This is not

739
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: a team that scares me at all when it comes

740
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: to running the ball. I feel a lot better about

741
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: trying to do as much coverage as possible, so get

742
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: more secondary guys on the field. Curse is a big guy,

743
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: so he can play that nickel linebacker position. I think

744
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: you do something like that and you might create a

745
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: lot more opportunity for yourself to keep more guys back

746
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: who can cover and possibly get some turnovers. And that's

747
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: the fun thing about Curses. It's not as simple as like, well,

748
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: he's a safety, so you gotta take him off put

749
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: another seting. No, he plays lineback. He's basically a dime

750
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: nickel linebacker. Put put him on kelsey. Here's what Kean

751
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: O'Neil kind of does as well. Right, if Micah and

752
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: Curse are the only two linebackers quote unquote, that play

753
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: and the game that's fine with me. Just get as

754
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: much speed onto the field as possibly. If they do

755
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: not win the turnover battle, do you think that the

756
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys can still beat them? Can? Sure will, Yeah, But

757
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 1: if they don't win the turnover battle, I don't feel

758
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: comfortable saying though. I think if if they if they

759
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: if they lose the turnover battle, I think that they're

760
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: going to probably lose the game. But I mean, you

761
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: could be won one or zero zero or whatever. Let's

762
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: say zero nobody. Yeah, then I think the Cowboys will

763
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: probably win the game if I think they're better. I

764
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,720
Speaker 1: will say this, if if it's like two Kansas City

765
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 1: one Dallas, I think Dallas could still win a game

766
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: like that. It can't be like they got two more

767
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: turnovers in Dallas, like I can't. They can't be plus

768
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: two over whatever Dallas. Then I think they're they're in

769
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: real trouble. I think if it's even they probably lose.

770
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 1: I just you don't think in an even turnover game

771
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: where they literally end up in a shootout back and forth,

772
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: you don't think Dallas can win that game. I didn't

773
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: say they can't. You don't think they will? Yeah, I

774
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 1: just when you go into hostile environments against teams like this.

775
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: I know it's just one game, but they seem like

776
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: they're kind of rounding into form, Like they seem like

777
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 1: they're playing a little bit better. What we talked about

778
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: in the first segment about like kind of starting to

779
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: hum in December. They know what that's all about, Like

780
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: they know what putting it together ahead of the playoffs

781
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: looks like. So I just you probably need breaks to

782
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: win games like this. And I'm not trying to talk

783
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: down on the Cowboys. I think they're one of the

784
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,399
Speaker 1: four or five best teams in the NFL right now,

785
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: but I still think you got to have things go

786
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: your way to win games like this. Not saying they can't,

787
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 1: though they definitely can, just I don't know that they would.

788
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. I just wonder what the weather

789
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 1: is going to be, Like I don't know why I

790
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: keep thinking it's going to be like really windy, and

791
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: if you can just okay, Derek's like, I got this

792
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 1: because that's accurate, like no doubt about that. Let's just

793
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: see if it's problematic, if the winds swirling and all that. See,

794
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 1: I don't like that. I feel like my homes can

795
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: probably figure it out better than Dak Will throwing there

796
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: all right, if it's just if it's just throwing the

797
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,399
Speaker 1: ball around, pitching and catch, I think things the Chiefs

798
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: are gonna have a hard time stop at them. Three

799
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: pm Sunday in Kansas City, Missouri. It will be fifty

800
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: six degrees, twelve mo parer winds, no precipitation, partly sunny.

801
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: It sounds like a perfect day for football, absolutely to it, okay,

802
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: and and worry from stadiums. What's around something else? Missouri?

803
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, Missouri Missouri. I'm pretty sure Missouri is

804
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: the way you say it, but maybe people think I

805
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: thought we were about to teach you that Kansas City

806
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: is in Missouri, and I was like, surely you've covered

807
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 1: the NFL Kansas City, kans Well, it's I mean it's

808
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: on the border, and I do, yeah, I do know

809
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: how you can drive up there as well. Inside joke,

810
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: but yeah, I get it all right. So yeah, I

811
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: think I think the weather will be as corporative as

812
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: you can expect it in November in Kansas City. Like

813
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: there could be worse weather situations in this for sure.

814
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I just I feel like I

815
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: need to clarify this because I don't like the way

816
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: I said it, Like I'm not trying to I'm not

817
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: trying to. No, No, that's what I do. I'm always trying.

818
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: Nowhere near as many people listen live as you think

819
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 1: they do. But um, I see the numbers will go hit.

820
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to suggest that like the Cowboys need

821
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: all these crazy breaks to win the game, like this

822
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: is an even matchup. The Cowboys are a very good team.

823
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: I just tough to win on the road against really

824
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: good teams. So just as that's that's all I'm saying.

825
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: All right, appreciate you guys. Joant us to be back tomorrow.

826
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the Cowboys offense versus the Kansas

827
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 1: City defense. That should be a favorable matchup for Dallas,

828
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: but we'll get into it tomorrow too. Then. For Nick Eatman,

829
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 1: Dave helm and Amber Garcia. I am Derek Eaglton. This

830
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: has been the Break live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.
