11
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: We got the Zeke stuff taken care of, and you

12
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: know he talked yesterday, so we can get into that

13
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: a little bit. But we have an opponent to discuss. Finally.

14
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: I feel like, sure we haven't gotten to a lot

15
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: of on field stuff lately with all the contract stuff,

16
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: so let's jump into that. Um, how are you today, Mick?

17
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: Did you get all the Zeke stuff off your chest

18
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: and Mike shots yesterday? I feel like you did. Um, yeah,

19
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: I think so. Yeah, but you know, there's always more

20
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: we take into that contract. You'm looking forward to seeing

21
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: those numbers. So Mickey can let us all how like

22
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: the forty two million that's not guaranteed in the last

23
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: three years of the contract. Yeah, So everybody out, and

24
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it one last time, saying again everybody's

25
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: bragging about he's got the greatest contract in the world

26
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: and he set the market value not so much. So

27
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: just slow down on that. Only got paid and he's

28
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: happy and the Cowboys are happy. Yeah, it's happy. He's

29
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: gonna be running the ball exactly. They need him to

30
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: do that, and he sounded like it when we talked

31
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: to him. And by the way, we're going to have

32
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: another press conference today at two o'clock. Oh okay, upstairs

33
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 1: in the room. So there we go. For all those

34
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: people that were trying to come up with some theory

35
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: that oh, Jerry and Seek still not getting along because

36
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: he didn't come back for a press conference. Um, I'd

37
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: love to see Jerry coming back from New York with

38
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: a nose ring for this one, right, Yeah, I'd love

39
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: to see that. He may. That would be awesome. He

40
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: may after all the money right at the stocks change. Yeah,

41
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: he had had a good day in the stock market

42
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: that way, ringing that bell that would absolutely break the

43
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: internet without questions. Oh Jerry had a nose ring. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah,

44
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: And you can just get a little clasp and oh sure,

45
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: I think if you look into that yourself, I have Yeah,

46
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 1: I kind of like the look, and I don't want

47
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: just one, I gotta have two. Right, Illinois guy, you

48
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: can look tough. Yeah, we're in that ring Mean Street,

49
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: Chicago Heights. That's right. Yeah, Um, okay, so you can

50
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: check out Mickey's fine work on Dallas Cowboys dot com. Bryant,

51
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: you started analyzing the I have'st dive into out a

52
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: little bit um or do you want to get to

53
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: the injuries first? And yeah, let's you go those injuries first. Cowboys.

54
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys back to practice day. They're going to practice indoors

55
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: as per usual during the season Thursdays and Fridays. A

56
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: lot of guys happy about that, probably, yes, as Zeke said, yeah,

57
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's not necessarily bombing and cobo, but

58
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: it was hot out there yesterday for in his first

59
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: practice back. What what'd you see from the injury report

60
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys and Giants. It was awfully encouraging, right. Yeah.

61
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: The only guy that was listed on there that we

62
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: didn't know was limited was Zach Martin and everybody else

63
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: other than the three guys that we knew were going

64
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: to be out, Um, you know they're out. So those

65
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: are Luke Gifford, Darry and Thompson and Donovan Wilson. Right,

66
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: so those are three inactives right there if you want

67
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: to start that game. Yeah, yeah, that'll be the three

68
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: for tomorrow. And then figure out that they probably might

69
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: have been inactive. Thompson might have Thompson might have played,

70
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: you're right, but the other guys were probably going to

71
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: be inactive anyway. So yeah, I thought it was encouraging

72
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: that all those other guys coming back from surgeries and

73
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: we're missing training camp h you know, primarily Byron Jones

74
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: to Marcus Lawrence, Tyrone Crawford, we're out there and the

75
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: two tight ends were out there who hadn't done much

76
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: in two weeks. So yeah, I thought that from an

77
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: injury standpoint, that was very encouraging. I think a big

78
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: one too, is Maury Cooper out there practice and I

79
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: forgot no, no, and it's easy. It's not. I'm not

80
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: saying it's easy forgetting, but I'm just saying he's such

81
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: a quiet guy. He kind of goes about his job.

82
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be a key for

83
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys this weekend playing this game, is can they

84
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: take advantage of the rookie Baker on one side and

85
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: then Jenkins on the other. You know, we have a

86
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: gambler and a rookie, so you know, on the past

87
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: protection I believe will hold up, you know, Zach Martin.

88
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: It's funny guys with all these you know they're talking

89
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: about oh well, you know, and you know, Coach made

90
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: mention him today. He's like, well, we're not to the

91
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: pitch count point. But I think in their mind they

92
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: have an idea of how much they want to play Zeke,

93
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: how much they want to play Lawrence. But the one

94
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: guy we talked about, it was kind of on the

95
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: injury report was Zach Martin. He's the one guy that

96
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: will probably play the majority of the snaps and so

97
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: no pitch count for him. He's going to go out

98
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: there and play. So everyone else is kind of in

99
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: that mode where they're gonna you know, so they're obviously

100
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: gonna rest him a little bit in practice if they

101
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: can to get him through that game, sue Afilo being

102
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: the backup right there, to do that, to give him

103
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: that little bit of rest this week and then let

104
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: him go if he can full go on Sunday, which

105
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: they need him in there on that inside. And I

106
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: guess it's a little different on the offensive line, right,

107
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: you can't. It's harder to just rotate guys in and

108
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: out and get and give Zach a break within the

109
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: course of the game. Right. If you get ahead, you

110
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: get ahead. That's the thing. If you can find a

111
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: way to build a lead in this game, and then

112
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: you can kind of say, okay, we're going to manage

113
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: if you can get in that fourth quarter. But what

114
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: do we know about the Cowboys thirteen to sixteen games,

115
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: it's seven points or less. They play a lot of tight,

116
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: tough games. You know, they occasionally had that one game

117
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: where they blow somebody out. Jacksonville was a great example

118
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: of that. That they get on a role the defense

119
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: is not very good for the opponent. And this very

120
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: well could happen tomorrow for Sunday for the Cowboys. They

121
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: could get on a roll. The Giants could not. We'll

122
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: have trouble maybe with a pass rush and all of

123
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: a sudden they get War down. And even though this

124
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: game is indoors, it still can be with the weather

125
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,679
Speaker 1: outside it could still affect how things are inside that stadium.

126
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: I've seen it done before that way. Man, It's not

127
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: the hundred degree heat, but you do feel that the

128
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: air or the way it is. So the Cowboys need

129
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: to kind of take advantage of that. If they can

130
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: wear these guys down. Yeah, they need to buy a

131
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: dehumidifier for the stadium because humidity still seems still in there.

132
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: It sure does. And you know, and if you get it,

133
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: if you get a defense that gets war down and

134
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: Dallas can wear you down, Dallas can. I have a

135
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: feeling that what we're gonna see from Kelvin Moore is

136
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: he is going to make the Giants defend the complete field.

137
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: He's going to play this game vertically. He's going to

138
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: play it horizontally, And I think that's what if you're

139
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: a Cowboy fan, you have to be excited about the

140
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: possible ability of him with the ball going to the edges,

141
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: running maybe a little bit inside, but the pass is

142
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: going down the field, passes going inside, passes going wide

143
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: to guys quick screens to Cobb and guys like that

144
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: that they can kind of start. He's gonna make these

145
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: giants run the entire field, the entire game, to have

146
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: to defend his offense seeing the other and it won't

147
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: be just Zeke on a pitch count. No, Byron mentioned

148
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence and also Tyrone Crawford. Those guys are going

149
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: to be on a pitch count, right. They're not gonna

150
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: send those guys out there to play forty or fifty plays.

151
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: So that means guys like Dorin's, Armstrong carry Hyder depending

152
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: on whose active Taco, those guys got to be ready

153
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: to go. I think yeah, and they're gonna have to

154
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: lean on him. Yeah, I think that's Mickey's got a

155
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: great point there. You know, maybe we get to these

156
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: inactives and it might be Taco might be in inactive.

157
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: They really do like Hyder a lot, They really do

158
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: like Armstrong. Probably they might go a little long at

159
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: that spot. Maybe you dress four tackles five ends to

160
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: get nine to the game in order to try and

161
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: for the rotation that you're going to have to make

162
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: up for because you've got two defensive ends that are

163
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: that are coming off, Like Mickey said, limited practice time

164
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: during training camp or no practice time during training camp.

165
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: They've been practicing out there. They did that everything they

166
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: needed to do yesterday, which is good. That's that's encouraging.

167
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: But game shape and practice shape are two totally different things.

168
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: See and the thing they have going for him there

169
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: is Hyder can go inside and give you some pass rush.

170
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: Tyrone Crawford can go inside and give you some pass rush.

171
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: So maybe you have one lass I don't know, one

172
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: less defensive tackle in there if you want to keep

173
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: more defensive ends. See. The thing about it too, is

174
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: that we've seen with I know Rob, you're gonna get

175
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: to something here, but I just want to point out

176
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: good if we if we get to the point, it

177
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: could come down to if what you think about those

178
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: Mickey Mickey said, the defensive tackles. What if you have

179
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: a guy like Joe Jackson who can play that We've

180
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: seen I've seen him play both as an end on

181
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: both sides and then also play some under tackle. That

182
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: might be a guy. I mean, we've talked about Tristan Hill.

183
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: He just plays as that under tackle. Some different rotation

184
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: combinations that we might have with I think that's going

185
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: to be the hardest thing for them to have to

186
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: come to grips with of who to play in what

187
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: combination to use. All the other positions I think take

188
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: care of itself. The one that's interesting to me also

189
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: is the cornerback spot because Byron Jones. If Byron Jones

190
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: doesn't start this game, that I think they've covered themselves

191
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: with the guys that they have. But you know, Byron

192
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 1: Jones could be a guy they use off the bench.

193
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: He could be a guy that could play in the

194
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: nickel or a dime if they have to go the route.

195
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: But you know, but they've done such a great nice job.

196
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: Brown has played very well, a Woozier's played very well,

197
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: and Lewis has played very well. So you're really not

198
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: pressed at that cornerback spot like you are maybe at

199
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: the defensive end or the defensive tackle spot. We have

200
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: to play some guys because out of a little bit

201
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: of an as city there and maybe for you know,

202
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: this game with that tight end ingram right, you know Jones,

203
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: we've seen him go inside and exact tight end exactly

204
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: when you go nickel or if it's dime, you say Okay,

205
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,599
Speaker 1: you got treated like a wide receiver. Absolutely, yep. I

206
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: don't see Sterling Shepherd on this injury. I thought that

207
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: was for the genest broken hand thumb fracture thumb, So yeah,

208
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: must have taped it up, spit on it, and let's

209
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: go game week. Let's go with no O b J.

210
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: He's their guy right in the past. Yeah, along with

211
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: along with Ingram who's versatile. Yeah, Ingram's Shepherd and you

212
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: know Cody Lattimore who they got you know, was with

213
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: Denver at one time, you know, was really a bust

214
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: with them as a first round pick. You know, uh

215
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: Darius Slaton as a kid that they got from Auburn. Yeah,

216
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: it's doesn't have the dynamicness to their offense at receiver

217
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: that they once had. Good players. They're may be playing

218
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: a little bit by committee what Dallas tried to do

219
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: last year. So let's see how that goes for them

220
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: long term. They do have two they have they have

221
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: a rare player in that running back though, you know,

222
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: and then you could tell in the walk off today

223
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: with Jason Garrett, you know the the challenges that that

224
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: the defense and I asked them the question in the

225
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: walkoff about do you worry about deef Okay? Just generally,

226
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: we watched these games, you see poor tackling initially because

227
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: starters don't play a lot of the preseason games and

228
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: you don't do a lot of tackling other than practice

229
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: tackling in training camp. Right, So does tackling have to

230
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: be a concern going into this really for both teams?

231
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 1: I think for every teams. I think we saw it

232
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: in college football the games that we watched last week,

233
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: there was some poor tackling, big plays, And that's the

234
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: problem you run into when you deal with a guy

235
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: like Barkley minds me very much of a guy like

236
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders. And you guys all know what Barry Sanders was.

237
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: Garrett described him perfect one yard, two yards, four yards,

238
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: five yards, one yard, two yards, eighty seven yards. That's

239
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: that's what you get when you play against these elite

240
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: backs that all of a sudden, you're they're banging their head,

241
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: banging their head, banging their head, and then they all

242
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden a mistackle, another mistackle, a third mistackle,

243
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: and now you're in a situation where it's an eighty

244
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: seven yard touchdown. He challenges the ability of your defense

245
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: to tackle at all three levels, all angles, all those problems. Yeah,

246
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: one thing, you know, and it was a small sample

247
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: size in preseason, but the Cowboys secondary did seem to

248
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: tackle well better. Yeah, yeah, that was what was impressive.

249
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: I know, doing the games with Brad on the radio

250
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,599
Speaker 1: that every at the half, I would Brad say what

251
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: impressed you, and I'd say the way that the Woozier tackled,

252
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: the way that Lewis tackled, the way that Brown tackled,

253
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: and so. But you also got these linebackers too. That's

254
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: the strength of this football team, the ability for those

255
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: guys to rally to the football, get bodies there, bring

256
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: this guy to the ground. That's gonna be really really

257
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: important that they get. They play gap, integrity, defense, set

258
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: the edges, be physical, but get that guy on the ground.

259
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: All right, let's take our first break. When we come back,

260
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: we'll continue breaking down this matchup. We'll talk a little Zeke.

00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: a question since we were watching the Bears and Packers

308
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: getting ready for tonight's game. So I'm not sure what

309
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm missing. But the Packers were less than enthusiastic last year.

310
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: They weren't very good, So why is everybody looking for

311
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: them to be the What have they done to make

312
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: this the turnaround team? Because Aaron Rodgers, Yeah, that to

313
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: me that he's simple. He's to me, he's the one

314
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: guy that if I was picking first, I think i'd

315
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: pick him first. I know it sounds crazy because you

316
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: talk about Brady and all that, and but I think

317
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: that because I've seen him for so many years play

318
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: with He's had really good talented times, he's had really

319
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: bad talented times, but they're always a threat because of him.

320
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: But wasn't he there last year? Or am I missing it?

321
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: Wasn't it two years ago? He was hurt, He was

322
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: hurt a couple of years ago. But yeah, I just

323
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: I don't think They've put a lot enough around him

324
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. It last year put the

325
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: team on his bell. He go, why is it back

326
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: to chip on his shoulder? Mike, It's just but then

327
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: he hurt his knee in the in the Bears game

328
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: last year at this time, and then he came back

329
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: and everybody, I mean I remember we were in a

330
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: game or we were doing a game, and it's like,

331
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Rogers is laying on the field, you know,

332
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: one of those things. I just I just kind of

333
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: feel like, though, did he's the one guy in this

334
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: league that you would pick to say, Okay, he could

335
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: beat you with his guys, and then he could take

336
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: your guys and beat you with your guys. You know

337
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. It's the old saying that they

338
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: used to talk about coaches and stuff. But he's just

339
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: that he's got that unique ability. And I understand what

340
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: you're saying, Mickey. And again, I mean, I didn't know

341
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: that they added somebody that like turned this whole thing

342
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: around from last year. I was, no, they've actually lost

343
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: some guys year enough. I miss Clay Matthews has moved

344
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: on to the Rams. I mean, they've lost some guys.

345
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think changing coaches, changing coaches, you know,

346
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: some new ideas. It comes down to number twelve. Right,

347
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: I've said this on the show before. Tiger Woods is

348
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: not going to end up probably with the same the

349
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: major title. Right, But if you just knew the eye test,

350
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: he's the best you've ever seen. That's how I feel

351
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: about Rogers, honestly, like I think he's he doesn't have weaknesses.

352
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: The only his problem has been he's gotten hurt. That's

353
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: that's really the only drawback for him. All right, Well,

354
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: maybe I forgot last year because I knew he was

355
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: hurt in twenty seventeen when they had to play the

356
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: test quarterback. Yeah, but I saw all these people picking

357
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: them to go to Chicago and win, and I'm going,

358
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 1: how come. Yeah, the Beardown Bears, you got to watch them.

359
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: The bear Down Bears are got man. That defense is

360
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: for real. We've seen games. I mean the Rams went

361
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: there late in the year and just got destroyed. Not

362
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 1: on the scoreboard, but man, I remember watching that tape.

363
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, Okay, this is how you beat the Rams.

364
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: And then it was cold and get after them. And

365
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: but that's that's like old school Bears, old school Bears,

366
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: but they kind of reminded me of the Cowboys a

367
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: little bit. They got a nasty looking defense, and they

368
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: got a young quarterback that you think will continue to ascend. Ye,

369
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: So they're a team to watch in the NFCA. This

370
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: should be fun. Get this thing rolling, you know what,

371
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: you'll know a lot about this Dallas sat, this Dallas

372
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: Cowboy team as we go along. By the by the

373
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: end of it, it's you know, either gonna be talking

374
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: about it bends a team. It's can make a great

375
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: run because they're gonna play all the best teams in

376
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: the NFC. You know you're gonna play the Saints, the Packers,

377
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: the Bears, You're gonna play the Rams. You know you're

378
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: gonna play them all. And so you're gonna have a

379
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: good test. And then you're gonna have to go to

380
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: Foxborough to play a game too. And now we've passed

381
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,959
Speaker 1: that test. So by the end of this campaign, you

382
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 1: will know exactly what this football team is if it

383
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: does have a chance to do well in the playoffs,

384
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: or if it's going to be a team that could

385
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: be in the playoffs but probably won't have the success

386
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: because they couldn't get over the hump of beaten some

387
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: of those teams that they needed to be. I think

388
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: I saw where the schedule here is ranked like midpack,

389
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: like fourteenth or fifteenth. I think that's right. Seems harder

390
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: than that on paper. Oh, I don't want to have

391
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: to go play the Bears in December. I don't want

392
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: to have to play bring the Rams here. You never

393
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen injury wise, you really don't.

394
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: You don't know what the shape of these teams are

395
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: gonna be. But if you just say it on paper, Yeah,

396
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: if I'm the Giants, I would much rather play Detroit

397
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 1: in Arizona than I would have to play the Saints

398
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: and the Rams. You know, I just that's just me

399
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: right now. Those are two games. I kind of feel

400
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: like that, if you had the opportunity, you would say, Okay,

401
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: I'll switch out those games. They get to play Detroit, Yeah,

402
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: well they get to play Detroit because of the division

403
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: division that they Yeah, because they faced everybody else in

404
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: the division has to play them. Yeah, gotta play Chicago.

405
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: Got to play Minnesota, right, Yeah. Minnesota is another one

406
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: I didn't even think about, you know, so you go

407
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 1: through down, through the schedule. Health is going to be

408
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: a big part of it. The growth of this defense.

409
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: I think this defense is ready to do some great things.

410
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: I really do. I feel like that that. You know,

411
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: we saw saw the ability to create turnovers. You know,

412
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: even I can practice they were creating turnovers. And then

413
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: they getting those preseason games and yeah, they were going

414
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: after the ball. It was kind of gravitating towards guys.

415
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: They were getting tipped passes, they were knocking balls down

416
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: on the outside. You know, a lot of good positive

417
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: things about this defense. You know, it could be one

418
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: of those defenses that does really well as a scoring defense.

419
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: Then you get your offense role and you know, with

420
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore, that's really kind of the great unknown right now.

421
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: But I think Kellen Moore's understanding that he has to

422
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: find ways to get the ball into the playmaker's hands

423
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,959
Speaker 1: that he has and I think he will do that.

424
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: All right. Uh, let's continue talking this matchup a little

425
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: bit Cowboys Giants. It feels like we've been talking about

426
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: Eli for twenty years and it's getting on to that.

427
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: It's getting close to it for him. You know, you

428
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: can say he's declined the last few years. But it's true.

429
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: But it's also been the protection up front. They made

430
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: a cover very poor made. Yeah, made a couple moves

431
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: in the off season to try to fortify that. Do

432
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: you think that's the case or do you think this

433
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: is a matchup the Cowboys can continue to take advantage of. Well,

434
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 1: I think that there's things that they can't. I think

435
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: this is one of those offensive lines when you watch

436
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: them play, it's kind of a big and box the

437
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: offensive line, with the exception really of Nate Solder, who's

438
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: more of an athlete, more of a linear built and

439
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: I mean linear, I mean up and down kind of guy,

440
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: Finnish guy. But they've got some power inside with Hernandez

441
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: and Zeitler, you know and those guys. Rumors that's right tackle.

442
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: That will be a good matchup to see with Lawrence

443
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: and how you know it. Can Lawrence take advantage him?

444
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: This is a Rumors is a big guy. He was

445
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: with he was with the Dave him in Carolina. He's

446
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 1: been a star. He's of sixteen game starter the last

447
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: couple of years Carolina Minnesota. He's a guy that if

448
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: you rush him down the middle, he's going to have success.

449
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: You need to try and work the edges on him.

450
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: That's the thing that we're gonna see with Lawrence. Lawrence

451
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: is one of the reasons why he's one of the

452
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: highest paid defensive ends is because he's got a lot

453
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: of tools in the tool belt. I think he's he's

454
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: gonna try and take advantage of rumors a little bit,

455
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: work him in, work him out, swims, rips, dips, all

456
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: those things, try and make them have to move. I

457
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: think Eli Manning understands what's happening in front of him too.

458
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: I think he's saying, Okay, well, I've got to get

459
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: rid of the ball a little quicker. Can the secondary

460
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: hold up? You know, they don't have that, they don't

461
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: have that Odell Beckham anymore. That's a that's a problem

462
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: for them because Manning was just going to throw the

463
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: ball to Beckham. Where he's gonna throw the ball to

464
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram, you know, get out. If you could get

465
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: him to hold the ball a little bit, that's where

466
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: the rush kind of creates problems for him. Push the

467
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: middle of the pocket, like we talk about, squeeze the

468
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: edges and see if you can affect him that way.

469
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: Eye level, bring that eye level for Eli Manning down,

470
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: hit him in the pocket, ball tends to come loose

471
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: because he'll turn that ball over for you. Who's the

472
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: fastest past rushers? The Cowboys have fastest, like quickest first steps.

473
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: Guy that can just run right by you. I would

474
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: say the guy that has the most explosive move to

475
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: start would be would be Lawrence. And then and then

476
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: I think then Armstrong got a first step. Man with

477
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: Armstrong without I mean without Robert Quinn being here, right yeah, right, yeah,

478
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: so the first you get to put him over on

479
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: the right side. Yeah, because soldier isn't that good? No,

480
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: here's here. I heard you on the fan this morning.

481
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: You're not buying the retool general. He's that Why did they?

482
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: Why did New England get rid of him? He was?

483
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: He was he was the weak link New England. It's

484
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: funny New England would get rid of guys. But he

485
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: wasn't that good there? Yeah, did you think he was good?

486
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: I think that to me, he was a lot better

487
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: than I thought he'd coming out of Colorado. I thought

488
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: he was you know him? And then this David Baktari

489
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: were two guys at of Colorado that kind of looked

490
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: the same to me. They're both really light, weak players

491
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, David Baktiari has had

492
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: a nice career with the Packers. But you're right, Micky,

493
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: Nate Solder does have problems. He does have problems with power.

494
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: That's a big thing though, and that's I think that's

495
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: a good thing. When you look at rushing with Crawford

496
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: to that side, Crawford tends to play with a little

497
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: bit more power, a little bit more drive. Crawford will

498
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: win the edge and then push the tackle back into

499
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: the pocket. We saw him do that last year in

500
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia game. Nice stripped sack, you know with Carson Wentz.

501
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: Because if he will, he will do everything he can

502
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: to win on the edge. If Nate Solder can't hold

503
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: up on that edge, will Crawford will take advantage that him.

504
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: Armstrong guys like that, we'll farewell over that. How to

505
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: put a shark guy, there's duck under the six nine guy.

506
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: That's an idea. Carrie Hyder, there you go. I wouldn't

507
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 1: call him short. You know what. Kerry Hyder made this

508
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: football team because his ability to rush the passer and

509
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: he came, he came. You talk about some first step quickness.

510
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: Now carry hyder playing as that as playing as an undertackle.

511
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: And this thing would not be a bad thing for

512
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: me either, because he can find a way to win.

513
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: Canny Kenny win, you know against will Her Nannies. Will

514
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: Her Nannies is a big, boxy guy that tends to

515
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: get a little top heavy. But so try and win

516
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: right there off the snap, and you know, and affect

517
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 1: the way that Manny looks at the front of that

518
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: pocket six two against six nine, he might be able

519
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: to sneak right underneath him. That is a big difference.

520
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: You're right about that? Uh, the guy that chugs beer

521
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: like no other No, yes, yeah, the Milwaukee Bucks game.

522
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: Oh no, he's he's clearly there's there's some line that

523
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: can can slam some bi packer. What are you talking about?

524
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: Exactly right, that's right, All right. Let's let's grab a

525
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: phone call before we go to break. Our good friend

526
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: Nebby is on the line. What's up? Neb on on talking?

527
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: If you all think Amari Cooper is gonna be h

528
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: on a pitch count or at or at all limited

529
00:25:54,240 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 1: considering the fact that he's coming off a heel uh injury.

530
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: I take care, thankful being patient with me, and have

531
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: a great week by thanks hard from you now, Thanks Bud.

532
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: Good question. Yeah, you know what I think that the

533
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: rotation will be. I think they'll want to get Cooper

534
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 1: out there as much as they can, you know, and

535
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: I think they'll be very mindful of the down and

536
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: distant situations and things like that. If they get on

537
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: a role where they're where they're hitting pass play after

538
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: pass play, running the ball, and they're moving the chains

539
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: being effective, they could do a little bit more with him.

540
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna play him as much as I can

541
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: because I think he could take advantage of both these

542
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 1: corners with his route running. I mean, it talked to

543
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: some people that were watching practice yesterday that was like,

544
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 1: how was his ability to plant and explode? And these

545
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: guys were like, he did not look like he had

546
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: sat out at all, and he's been out of like

547
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: a month, and he's been out a month. You're absolutely

548
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: right about that. So the only thing I think slowing

549
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: him down will be conditioning, because you know, these receivers

550
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: run whether they get the ball or not, they're running

551
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: right out. So every time he's running and even if

552
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: he doesn't get the ball, that's him running. So I

553
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: think conditioning would be the only thing that holds him

554
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: back right now. And to your point, you've been saying, look,

555
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: it's not plantar fasciitis, and he confirmed that, I think

556
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: the other day in the locker room and he was

557
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: talking to us. Finally he said, this is not as

558
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: bad as something I've had in Oakland and he said

559
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: he played through the plantar fasciitis and played well. Yeah,

560
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: so yeah, I think he's good to go now. Again,

561
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: Brian's right, you know, what's the conditioning. You haven't been

562
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: doing this. You know, play in and play out and

563
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: during during training camp, right and they've got ways to

564
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: go to two wide and you know, bring in Tavon Austin,

565
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: bring in Devon Smith and you know, go to tight

566
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: ends sometime and a fullback and kind of change it up.

567
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: But I think he's ready to go. I do too.

568
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: I think, you know, the pitch count thing, like Nebbie

569
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: was asking about. I think you have to be mindful

570
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: of him. I think the other ones are more like, okay,

571
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: this is I think Zeke is the most important one

572
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: here because just be a long campaign for him. You

573
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,719
Speaker 1: have to be mind full of his situation. Jason. By

574
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: the way, Garrett said, he thought he looked good in

575
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: practiced yesterday. But you know, it's one of those things.

576
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: I guess you got to continue to see how he

577
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: responds to the week. Well that and you also got

578
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: to remember you can't wear him out in three days

579
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: and then expecting to play on Sunday. I heard somebody's

580
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: he got to do extra work. Well, no, because you

581
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: want to make sure whatever he's got in his legs,

582
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: he expends it on Sunday, not on Friday or not

583
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 1: on Thursday. So you got to trust that he actually

584
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: did his conditioning work. And if his conditioning work and

585
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: his legs are good, then the only thing is going

586
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: to hold him back is I saw on my phone

587
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: today we had a four day air quality alert. Don't

588
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: open that roof by the way, Yeah, I was trying

589
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: to get it open the roof. Oh, I wanted to

590
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: affect the giants this morning. The air quality it's not

591
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: supposed to be good, So watch how much you're breathing

592
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: out there. I brought up the point I go, if

593
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: I'm Jerry, I open this roof, and I'm thinking, yeah,

594
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: you're got to wear out your own teeth and he

595
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: goes and shun goes. Why would you do that? I'm like,

596
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm trying to wear the Giants out. And then I

597
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: was thinking about maybe I'm gonna wear my own team

598
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: out too doing that. But yeah, I think you know

599
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: that we're this. This humidity gets in that building, whether

600
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: it's eric condition or not. And I think I think

601
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can affect the way that the Giants play

602
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: by how they play with their pace, you know, if

603
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: they get if they if we're seeing them stay ahead

604
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: of the chains, if they're getting them in a lot

605
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: of third down situations on defense. You know, on paper

606
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: they say this. I'm not saying take the Giants lightly,

607
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: because I'm surely not, because I think they got some

608
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: talented players. But if you look player for player, the

609
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,000

615
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: but for an opening game, those are the things you

616
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: have to deal with the penalties, the turnovers, poor tackling.

617
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: Can't have those things in that first game. Yeah, let

00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the giants are what they are that you know,

712
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: the cow we we're trying to learn. I mean we

713
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 1: have an idea. We've been watching this team for thirty

714
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: some odd practices, four preseason games. Is there anything that

715
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: you you're thinking, like, man, I just can't wrap my

716
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: hands around this one right now overall or just for

717
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: this matchup, just for this matchup, just this matchup I

718
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: think you talked about. I mean, Barkley is the one

719
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: guy that you look at this matchup and say he

720
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: is a he is a problem. They've both running receiving.

721
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: They've just got to find a way to contain him.

722
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: And But based on what I've seen from this team

723
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: through thirty days of training camp in preseason games, they've

724
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: been solid at all levels. Like I, defens just look good. Though, yeah,

725
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: I mean the starters and you can't you can't say, okay,

726
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: well the Rams didn't play and then the forty I

727
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: don't care. When they've had to do their job. They've

728
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: had to do their job. Those guys have stepped up.

729
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of three and outs. I've seen punts,

730
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: I've seen turnovers. I've seen a lot of things from

731
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: this defense that I like, you know, yeah, I feel

732
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 1: good about. They do have weapons, They've got Ingraham, they've

733
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: got Shepherd. If there's one thing for me, I know,

734
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: I've talked about the Kicker situation. Uh, you want to

735
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: see Brett maher continue to continue the consistency we saw

736
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: down the stretch of camp, right, we were going after

737
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: him a little bit and he started kicking the ball.

738
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: Well he did, he did, um, you know, made a

739
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: trump that I got one more. And it really is

740
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: the guys coming off of either an absence or injury,

741
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: are they are they going to come back and get

742
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: back into the standard that they're used to play at.

743
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: I think I think d Laws ready, but we you know,

744
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,479
Speaker 1: he haven't seen him for you know, several months until

745
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: he got back into practice. Recently. We talked about Byron

746
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: talked about Zeke being gone for forty days, right, So

747
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask Micky, what do you feel good about?

748
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: I feel good about everything? Okay. I got asked the

749
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: question on a season preview show, you know, offense defense,

750
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,240
Speaker 1: and I said both, yeah, because I think they're strong

751
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: on both sides. I agree with that. And I think

752
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: people are finally kind of getting on board with this

753
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: because I think when they started training camp it was like, oh,

754
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, right, and I think everybody was remembering getting

755
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: beat against the Rams in the playoff game. They forgot

756
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 1: that they went seven and one down the stretch last year.

757
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 1: That's that's no mistake. That doesn't just happen. They were

758
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,439
Speaker 1: dominant except for one game when they got shut out

759
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: by the Colts. Yeah, that shut out cold pretty good teams.

760
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: So to me there and here's the thing. So I

761
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: was going to say about the kicking thing, eliminate that,

762
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: score touchdowns. Well, then I want to see them when

763
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: they get inside. Even when they were brought up yesterday yesterday,

764
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: in five of the eight games the second half of

765
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: the season, when they scored twenty seven or more points,

766
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: they still were having trouble inside the ten yard line.

767
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: So I want to see if that's solved. You know,

768
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 1: red zone, Fine, that's twenty in they had their biggest

769
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: problems inside the ten yard line. So I want to

770
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 1: see what they can do score and touchdowns. And if

771
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: you remember when when when Kellen Moore was asked the

772
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: question about how do you solve that? He goes, we

773
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: got to run the ball better, right, So let me

774
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: see you when you get to the seven yard line,

775
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: can you bust it in there and score touchdown? Joe Looney,

776
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 1: Olda Wally, whoever else you have to use, Zeke, I'm

777
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: interested in. I'm Jason Witton how about that. I think

778
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: Jason Witten is going to be a big red zone

779
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 1: help this year. I set it a bunch eighteen yards

780
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: in keep an eye on Jason Witton and what he

781
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 1: can do and help you in this situation. Even if

782
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: they run the even that they're running the ball, but

783
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 1: they go play action and they have it's Witton always

784
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: finds a way to get open and he's just an

785
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: easy target to throw the ball to down there. So yeah,

786
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: I think you guys have got this thing right, this

787
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: whole thing with the you know, it's it's easy to

788
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: nitpick on the kicking thing, but it is what it is.

789
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you just don't want to lose a game

790
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: or have come away with no points because you're missing

791
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: a thirty eight yard field goal. Yeah, I understand the

792
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 1: fifty three yard field goal, that's a gamble. But the

793
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: thirty eight yard field goal, the thirty seven yard field goal,

794
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: the thirty two yard field goal, you can't miss though.

795
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: That That to me, he's just like giving him a

796
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,760
Speaker 1: turnover right there. Absolutely. Plus it's you know, it's weird

797
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: you drove all that way and you didn't score a touchdown, right,

798
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: But if if you miss a field goal and deflate you. Right,

799
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 1: not scoring the touchdown doesn't deflate you as much as

800
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: oh god, yeah, we just gave away three points. Oh

801
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: you gave away four other points because you didn't score

802
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: the touch They have maintained they have a lot of

803
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: confidence in him and he has a ton of talent.

804
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you see the leg um Stephen Jones said

805
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: last week. They're not concerned at all about him. So

806
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 1: can I flip this around there? What about Chris Jones?

807
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 1: We we haven't last year. We didn't see the punts,

808
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: the downed punts or the you know, we didn't see

809
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: that from him. Is that is he? Is he part

810
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: of this concern? Or is he? Oh, it's Chris Jones.

811
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: He's a captain, he's you know, he's gonna average forty

812
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: five point seven a punt? Are we are we looking

813
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 1: for it? Was it a bounce back here? Or am

814
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: I saying? Has he been so good that even having

815
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: an average year look bad so long as he can

816
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: still directionally kick and eliminate returns. That's because this team

817
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: did not go down and cover punch, well, not at all.

818
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: So if you're trying to hit boomers and giving them

819
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: a chance to return. I worry about that because they're

820
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: gunners for some reason. Don't get down there and do much.

821
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: So to me, if he if he averages forty yards

822
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: a kick, but he pins them on the sideline, whether

823
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: they can't return the punt, then I'm fine with that.

824
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 1: And I'm assuming on their deal here Peppers or Lattimore

825
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: or Slayton are going to return, right, So just don't

826
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: give them the opportunity. I'm fine with that. Just don't

827
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: lose the game because you let a guy have a

828
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: big punt return or you fumbled a punt. That's true,

829
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: all right, we got two minutes left, a little less.

830
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: That's it. Lance in Philly, take us home what you got? Yes,

831
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: what's happening to guys? Always lest the see I love it,

832
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: Thank you, appreciate that. All good? A couple of things, guys, um,

833
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: what do you feel the season? The three things? Do

834
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 1: you feel? The season? Hinges on and in my opinion,

835
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: aside from injuries, of course, my opinion, I feel it.

836
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore second division record and third Connor Williams, I'd

837
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: like to know what you gotta think, Go Cowboys. I

838
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: haven't felt this good about a season since literally ninety

839
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 1: two and I've been a fan from seventy eight, so

840
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm feeling really good. Let's stay healthy, Go Cowboys. Ye don't.

841
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would say just Connor Williams,

842
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: but maybe just the cohesion of this veteran offensive line

843
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: is all Frederick in there coming back. You know, zach'smissed time.

844
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: They haven't had a lot of time together in the preseason.

845
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 1: They are a veteran group minus Connor is in his

846
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: second year. Look, if you don't get where you want

847
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: to go and you blame it on the left guard,

848
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: you had other problems. Yeah, how about this one? We

849
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: just talked about it. How about scoring defense? You know,

850
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: not a concern. I mean you need to see that.

851
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: I mean that if they can find a way to

852
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: shut people down, keep the scoring defense be top five.

853
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna give up yards potentially. But the scoring defense,

854
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: I think is the most important. Mickey brought up the

855
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: red zone offense, scoring points, finishing drives. I think that's

856
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: more important. And I do like the Kellen Moore thing.

857
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: I do like the Kellen Moore angle here. I do

858
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 1: like his the thought about what he potentially can be

859
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: because I do feel like he's going to take his

860
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: weapons and try and advance things with him. I think

861
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna call a different game than what

862
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 1: we've seen from Scott Linahan in previous years. And I'll

863
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: just give you one more real quick. If this defense

864
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: is going to be dominant, then we've got to can't

865
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: finish twenty ninth and takeaways. Ye got to get the ball.

866
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: That's get this ball back to this offense because this

867
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: offense is going to be awfully good. Yep. Hellman was

868
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 1: trying to get your attention behind you, I think, and

869
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: it's not working. It's not working because Brian's a pro

870
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: and he's focused. Yea, all right, and he can't see

871
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: behind his back, that's true, but he's also a pro.

872
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: The break is next with Dave and the Gang two

873
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: o'clock press conference. Don't forget Okay, thanks for for listening.

874
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: We'll be back on Friday to wrap up the week

875
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,520
