Speaker 5: had a nice little quiet break here with with a
Speaker 5: bye week. Cowboys didn't play yesterday, so that was a nice,
Speaker 5: nice moment just to sit back.
Speaker 4: It was nice. It was a nice moment just sit
Speaker 4: back and watch some football.
Speaker 5: It was It's always nice in a bye week when
Speaker 5: you work in the sport to be able to sit
Speaker 5: and watch other teams and just kind of get a
Speaker 5: feel for the rest of the NFL.
Speaker 4: It's a lot of fun.
Speaker 5: Actually, that's rekindle your your your love of NFL football.
Speaker 3: You wonder why you work for the Cowboys.
Speaker 5: And I don't know if it made me do that,
Speaker 5: but it did make me enjoy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not not working for the Cowboys. Working with
Speaker 3: the Cowboys. It's fine. It's covering. It's working where you
Speaker 3: have to. You get to pay attention to other teams,
Speaker 3: which is kind of fun. But then you realize how
Speaker 3: much you really do like football when it's like you're
Speaker 3: not on the line.
Speaker 5: Yeah right right, when you can just enjoy the game
Speaker 5: and not really be like, well, yeah, you don't have.
Speaker 3: To sweat whether the third down conversion or fourth down conversions. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah. It just reminds me of the day. Come.
Speaker 5: The day will come when I'll retire from this and
Speaker 5: I will be able to get back to sitting in
Speaker 5: my lounger and watching some games and napping in between A.
Speaker 6: Long way to go, Bro, I do have commercial free football.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have all the ways to go, But but
Speaker 5: that day will be glorying.
Speaker 3: I never knew how much fun Red Zone was. Man,
Speaker 3: you can what I can't.
Speaker 5: I can't really get into because I want to see
Speaker 5: the storyline of the game develop as the game interesting.
Speaker 3: It's interesting just from the aspect of the action. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, but I'm with you that I'm with you
Speaker 3: on the storyline stuff. But when I watch Red Zone,
Speaker 3: I get a headache because it happens so it's going
Speaker 3: so fast.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I find difficult.
Speaker 7: I find difficulty in figuring out the p breaks and zone.
Speaker 4: That's like, give me a break.
Speaker 6: I need, I need, I need it erectly.
Speaker 7: I try to get it out of the way in
Speaker 7: the first half of that noon Slate because then for
Speaker 7: about four and a half straight hours it's it's full
Speaker 7: on action.
Speaker 6: But no, it was really good.
Speaker 7: It was some really good games yesterday too, yeah Slate,
Speaker 7: and then three twenty five it was it was a
Speaker 7: good day to be off.
Speaker 6: I think I tweeted it out yesterday it was like,
Speaker 6: this is a really good Sunday to be at the
Speaker 6: Crow Yeah, and then.
Speaker 5: The night game even ended up being intriguing just because
Speaker 5: again the storylines and how the game developed. That was
Speaker 5: a fun game to watch as well. So I enjoyed
Speaker 5: some NFL football yesterday. Didn't enjoy college as much on
Speaker 5: the weekend. But you know, it happens. You have a
Speaker 5: rough weekend and you just kind of rebound. Congratulations to
Speaker 5: the LSU Tigers. You guys are moving along. She'd be
Speaker 5: fun this weekend. You got to in them coming up.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh, as you're starting to understand the Southeastern Conference
Speaker 3: could be no fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you have some Sundays on Saturdays like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's there's days where you like, you think you're
Speaker 3: like in good shape and then the next thing you know,
Speaker 3: you're completely falling apart. I think that's the SEC in
Speaker 3: general exactly. That's a great thing about college football too.
Speaker 3: I think with the the actual all the transfers and
Speaker 3: the nil stuff, and I think there's a lot more
Speaker 3: of these matchs where teams are even there's no more,
Speaker 3: there's there's halves and have nots. Don't get me wrong,
Speaker 3: but the have nots are because of the transfer portals
Speaker 3: have kind of made a little bit of a little
Speaker 3: bit of a jump where they're very, very competitive in
Speaker 3: a lot of these games. So college football has been
Speaker 3: a lot of fun to watch this year.
Speaker 5: It has, and I enjoyed it.
Speaker 4: Even in a loss.
Speaker 5: You still enjoyed the pageantry and the competition of college football.
Speaker 3: I really do. I enjoy I did you enjoy that
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars fine from throwing bottles?
Speaker 8: Hey?
Speaker 4: Man, it got us the call, so hey, pay it up.
Speaker 3: We got the money, man, Oh, I know you do.
Speaker 3: It's just funny. It's kind of SEC rules. Yeah, you
Speaker 3: take the goalpost down, they charge. It's it's kind of
Speaker 3: the fine. That's what they always charge. It's always But
Speaker 3: I was curious, you know, you mentioned with a reverse
Speaker 3: call in a game, and I know we get to
Speaker 3: this quick the NFL stuff, but I was trying to
Speaker 3: think the last time I saw a reverse called during
Speaker 3: the game, and I think it was the Detroit playoff
Speaker 3: game against Dallas. Did they have an interference call that
Speaker 3: that it was on? It was on one the linebackers
Speaker 3: they got, they got they had a pass interference call
Speaker 3: and it got reversed and it was in the playoff
Speaker 3: game and it was the game that Romo drove down
Speaker 3: and I think through the ball to Witting and I
Speaker 3: think it was a game winning touchdown, but I was
Speaker 3: trying to remember it was one of the linebackers that
Speaker 3: got called for pass interference or defensive holding, and then
Speaker 3: they reversed the call initially call in the field and
Speaker 3: then they reversed, and then Dallas uh, I think it
Speaker 3: was Damian Wilson. It might have been called for for
Speaker 3: holding in the game and they reversed, and I was
Speaker 3: trying to think, when's the last time I saw officials
Speaker 3: completely flip a call after after the call was made.
Speaker 7: That one was wild because when that first bottle was
Speaker 7: thrown onto the field, Carson Beck and the Georgia offense
Speaker 7: they were getting ready to write the snap like that
Speaker 7: they would have stood if that didn't happen.
Speaker 6: So I think I think the SEC said a.
Speaker 7: Very bad precedent, and I wonder how they kind of
Speaker 7: approached that this week and if they lay the hammer
Speaker 7: down on Texas a little bit harder.
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's their max. They have a they have it.
Speaker 3: I think it happened in twenty twenty one. They kind
Speaker 3: of have a that's kind of their standard. Number when
Speaker 3: you do something wrong, like the band plays the song
Speaker 3: they're not supposed to play. It's two hundred and fiftys.
Speaker 4: I've done that before.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like they give you this amount, you know, like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's kind of crazy how they handle things in the SEC.
Speaker 4: But I don't mind the reverse.
Speaker 5: And I know it sounds that sounds like, okay, you're
Speaker 5: a Texas guy. Honestly, in any game, I don't mind
Speaker 5: a reversal if the call is right.
Speaker 4: I'm a big believer in.
Speaker 5: Have the eye in the sky that's watching all these
Speaker 5: games like the rest of us and has the benefit
Speaker 5: of seeing that replay and being like, who whoa, whoa, Yeah, guys,
Speaker 5: we messed this one up. Let's get it right. Because
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, I just wanted to
Speaker 5: be right. I want the games to be called as
Speaker 5: close to perfect as possible, right, And so I don't
Speaker 5: mind if you after the fact decide, you know, that
Speaker 5: was a bad cause pick up that flag, you know,
Speaker 5: especially a play like that. That was so that was
Speaker 5: such a big moment in the game.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was telling the people that I was watching
Speaker 7: the game with at the time. I was like, these
Speaker 7: officials probably looked at it and said, Hey, we're gonna
Speaker 7: have to answer to this anyway, we may as well
Speaker 7: get the call right.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 7: So, I as as weird as that was and as
Speaker 7: probably not beneficial to Georgia, that was it was the
Speaker 7: right call at the end of the day, But yeah,
Speaker 7: it was.
Speaker 6: It's fascinating. I don't think I've ever seen that.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I was texting back and forth with Patrick during the game,
Speaker 5: and I think he even kind of agreed, Yeah, that's
Speaker 5: probably the right call. Like he had a couple of
Speaker 5: calls he didn't like, but I don't think he wasn't
Speaker 5: arguing that one too much.
Speaker 4: He was he was okay with that. All right, let's
Speaker 4: jump in. Let's talk a little Cowboys football.
Speaker 5: We're gonna start first today, I guess a lot of
Speaker 5: our early part of our show. And by the way,
Speaker 5: real quick, we're going to also take some calls in
Speaker 5: the second and third segments of the show. So you
Speaker 5: can call us at eight eight eight eight five five
Speaker 5: two two ninety seven again eight eight eight eight five
Speaker 5: five two two nine seven feel free good and light
Speaker 5: up those phone lines. And we'll get to those calls
Speaker 5: a little later in the show. But I think The
Speaker 5: tenor of today's show is really about as as Mike
Speaker 5: McCarthy says, the second trimester, what is Dallas going to
Speaker 5: do now that they've completed the first trimester, They've had
Speaker 5: a break, They've had a chance to absorb what's happened,
Speaker 5: and now they have to move on and try to
Speaker 5: learn from that and be better in the next trimester
Speaker 5: of the season. That being said, let's start first with
Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy, and he had some comments this morning about how.
Speaker 4: They practice, and he was saying it was really I.
Speaker 5: Think the point of it was that he thinks they
Speaker 5: need to practice better, not necessarily harder. He says, you know,
Speaker 5: their analytics tell them the team is practicing harder than
Speaker 5: it has in the past. They just may not be
Speaker 5: as crisp. They just may not be as detailed as
Speaker 5: disciplined as maybe they need to be during practice. What
Speaker 5: are your thoughts on that and maybe what that means
Speaker 5: as far as the team's ability to play in the
Speaker 5: way that they need to play.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll say one thing, Mike McCarthy's a big morning person,
Speaker 7: because man, he was. He was giving us all the
Speaker 7: good stuff this morning in the nine am press conference.
Speaker 7: But I had asked the question about practice because before
Speaker 7: they went on the buy break, Dak Prescott was talking
Speaker 7: about how guys are only showing up on Sundays, you
Speaker 7: need to take the preparation during the week a little
Speaker 7: bit more serious. And then McCarthy, like you said, had
Speaker 7: said that guys were practicing hard, not necessarily well. So
Speaker 7: I followed up on that and I was like, all
Speaker 7: the evaluation that's come over the course of the last week.
Speaker 7: At the bye week, he said he was here every day.
Speaker 7: Did you guys take a look at practice and how
Speaker 7: you guys are approaching that? Is there any tweaks to that?
Speaker 7: And he said that they are going to be approaching
Speaker 7: practice with a lot more group work. They're getting away
Speaker 7: from the one on ones more two on two to
Speaker 7: three on threes, and then on the nine on seven
Speaker 7: stuff that we see during combination team periods that we
Speaker 7: saw at training camp. They're going to ramp that up
Speaker 7: a little bit more in the team period as well,
Speaker 7: so focusing more on group work. And that had kind
Speaker 7: of stood out from something earlier that he had said
Speaker 7: about meeting work as well. They want guys in group
Speaker 7: meetings less individual meetings. Because I guess I could see
Speaker 7: it from his perspective being Okay, if we're having all
Speaker 7: these individual meetings, then all the guys are not getting
Speaker 7: the same message. So group meetings it allows everybody to
Speaker 7: be under one cohesive umbrella as far as coaching points
Speaker 7: and things of that nature. So maybe that's kind of
Speaker 7: the approach that they're taking post bye week here. But
Speaker 7: there was a lot of evaluation taken in the building
Speaker 7: over the course of the last week, and he was
Speaker 7: actually really complimentary of a lot of guys that had
Speaker 7: been in the building every day in the last week
Speaker 7: as well.
Speaker 3: That's you never want to hear that. You never want well,
Speaker 3: I mean, you never want to hear that they're not practicing. Well.
Speaker 3: You know, there's there's times when you know you you're
Speaker 3: going to have a bad practice. You know, maybe somebody,
Speaker 3: you know, maybe your team's just so beat up, you're
Speaker 3: just not into it. You got back off a trip,
Speaker 3: you know. I mean there's a lot of things going
Speaker 3: on too because you know with and a lot of
Speaker 3: it has to do too with the way you lose.
Speaker 3: You know, if you're if you're practicing, and it's really
Speaker 3: easy to practice when things are going good, you know,
Speaker 3: but when you're when you're getting you know that right now,
Speaker 3: this team's three and three and the three losses have
Speaker 3: looked awful, you know, and and I think that, you know,
Speaker 3: you think, wow, they're hey, a lot of injuries, they're
Speaker 3: good to get it to this point and all that.
Speaker 3: It's really not, you know. And then you add that
Speaker 3: to you're getting beat up, and then you're not practicing well,
Speaker 3: and now you start to lead to other conversations like, well,
Speaker 3: why aren't we practicing well? You know what, what's what's
Speaker 3: the issues there is? Is leading is leading?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 3: Not is leading to not practicing well? Is that is
Speaker 3: what's causing you not to play well? I just man,
Speaker 3: that to me, that's I just I don't like to
Speaker 3: hear that. And you know, and I kind of feel
Speaker 3: like they're looking for answers, you know, the answers that
Speaker 3: I want to hear are you know, with Like to me,
Speaker 3: I don't think it's always the scheme when it when
Speaker 3: you're talking about what's going on with the defense a
Speaker 3: little bit, I think they're physically just getting beat up,
Speaker 3: you know, and whatever you have to do to rectify that,
Speaker 3: that's where I would start to I mean I don't
Speaker 3: think you could practice physicality like they you know, like
Speaker 3: they did back in the day. The things I just
Speaker 3: I don't know if things even by them talking about
Speaker 3: it and doing talking about more group than this, I
Speaker 3: don't know if it's necessarily going to help. I think
Speaker 3: I think this team really is who they are when
Speaker 3: it comes to how they play. When it comes to
Speaker 3: playing defense, you know, I think they lack that. And
Speaker 3: it's not toughness. They just don't have that ability to
Speaker 3: take people on that play in a way that makes
Speaker 3: that they use big personnel and blockers and stuff. They're
Speaker 3: just not built that way. They're built to rush the passer.
Speaker 3: And they just can't get anybody into a game where
Speaker 3: they can just rush the passer. They got the Cleveland
Speaker 3: Browns into it, But I don't know if anything practice
Speaker 3: wise is going to make this any different than what
Speaker 3: they really are.
Speaker 5: Well, one thing he did say as an example was
Speaker 5: something that we've talked about a lot on this show.
Speaker 5: He said, you start two rookie offensive lineman week one.
Speaker 5: They've been stunting and gaming us since we got off
Speaker 5: the bus. We've been practicing, but not enough. And I
Speaker 5: think that is one area that if you're not doing
Speaker 5: enough of that type of tandem work, group work, if
Speaker 5: you're doing spending most of your time in one on
Speaker 5: ones when you got offensive line versus defensive line, maybe
Speaker 5: you're not going to be as well prepared for handling
Speaker 5: some of those games, some of those stunts when you
Speaker 5: have so many guys changing in and out of the
Speaker 5: offensive line, plus you in the inexperience of the offensive line.
Speaker 5: Do you think that's an area that more group work
Speaker 5: could actually make a difference.
Speaker 3: Well, they practice in team and they you know, if
Speaker 3: you're playing against somebody that moves the front. I mean,
Speaker 3: when we break down the opponent, we always talk about, oh,
Speaker 3: there's a twist front, and what are the things When
Speaker 3: we talk about BB, we always say, and this has
Speaker 3: gone back from two three weeks ago, he doesn't handle
Speaker 3: the twist front. And now all of a sudden, everybody's like, oh,
Speaker 3: we need more work on the twist front. Why weren't
Speaker 3: you working on twist front than in week two, week
Speaker 3: three when teams were actually doing that. You know, I'm
Speaker 3: sitter watching the tape and I'm like, the one problem
Speaker 3: that Bib has is he gets too involved with pushing
Speaker 3: a guy we talked about these these linemen that push
Speaker 3: a that push a guy down and then they go
Speaker 3: to the next level. And we said this about bb Hey,
Speaker 3: he gets too involved, he gets too involved, he gets
Speaker 3: too involved. Well, here we are in week seven, and
Speaker 3: now we're talking about it as we're seeing more of that.
Speaker 3: It's something that needed to be done, you know, three
Speaker 3: weeks ago, because I mean, might me personally, I saw
Speaker 3: it three weeks ago. If you asked me, what was
Speaker 3: one problem with Cooper Bebe. He doesn't handle the twist
Speaker 3: stunts very well, you know. And now all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, we're seeing a lot more twist fronts. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because you didn't work on it three weeks ago, and yeah,
Speaker 3: and you know, and now it's like and you wonder,
Speaker 3: how like when he when they when they have pressure,
Speaker 3: when they have a pressure, it's usually something with moving
Speaker 3: the front, and so you would think, like why not
Speaker 3: get ahead of that and say, hey, listen, our sinners
Speaker 3: are rookie. We gotta you know, we've got to work
Speaker 3: on him not going down inside and taking those guys
Speaker 3: because he's leaving a gap, He's leaving a big area
Speaker 3: inside there. So this is something to me that when
Speaker 3: you're not practicing, Well, I understand it, because three weeks
Speaker 3: ago you could have got that right. It couldn't you know,
Speaker 3: you could take Teams are going to do things to
Speaker 3: you when you're not very good at it. You know,
Speaker 3: watch what's gonna happen this week? Even though they don't
Speaker 3: have Brandon Ayuk and all that Detroit. Detroit is the
Speaker 3: number one in the league for running in breaking routes.
Speaker 3: What do you think San Francisco is going to do
Speaker 3: to you? You didn't cover one in breaking route the
Speaker 3: other day? Not one. They are going to sit there
Speaker 3: and say, wow, this team camp safeties, linebackers. You know,
Speaker 3: they don't they don't play, they don't do this. But
Speaker 3: this is something that you've seen that you've seen with
Speaker 3: this team, and now they're talking about it in the
Speaker 3: well we need to work on Well, why wudn't you
Speaker 3: work on it three weeks ago when it when it
Speaker 3: looked like it was going to be an issue. That's
Speaker 3: the thing that drives me nuts.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I in my bye week evaluation of everything, I
Speaker 7: look at the middle of this defense, the spine of
Speaker 7: this defense as the core is the core problem of
Speaker 7: all the issues that are happening. I think if you
Speaker 7: had a defensive tackle that was playing up to a
Speaker 7: first round caliber selection, and then you had better safety
Speaker 7: play on the back end. I think the middle has
Speaker 7: been fine. Was talking about the linebackers, but if you
Speaker 7: had those two positions just playing just a notch better,
Speaker 7: I think you're a four and two or even a
Speaker 7: five and one team at this point. I there's there's
Speaker 7: been multiple multiple games, so for multiple games last year
Speaker 7: with the middle of that defense was just getting exposed.
Speaker 6: And I think I'm probably.
Speaker 7: I had to take on some ownership in some sense
Speaker 7: because I thought it was an issue last year of
Speaker 7: just not having enough linebackers. I thought it was, you know,
Speaker 7: a linebacker depth problem, and they fixed that, and I
Speaker 7: think that's where all my confidence kind of stemmed from
Speaker 7: coming out of training camp, is like, I think this
Speaker 7: defense is going to be pretty good because the biggest
Speaker 7: problem they had last year has been solved, and it's
Speaker 7: the linebacker depth. But they lost at that the defensive
Speaker 7: tackle position and didn't anticipate the safeties playing as poorly
Speaker 7: as I have been earlier early in this season. So
Speaker 7: if those two positions can get it figured out, then
Speaker 7: I believe that they can figure out some of these issues, and.
Speaker 6: That could be a practice thing too.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you get those guys more involved in team settings
Speaker 7: as well, because you need Mazzie Smith taking on those
Speaker 7: doubles out here. You need Mozzi Smith taking on multiple
Speaker 7: bodies so that he understands that that's going to be
Speaker 7: the case whenever they're trying to blow him off the
Speaker 7: line on Sunday, whether it's Jordan Mason, Christian McCaffrey, or whoever.
Speaker 7: So I could team more team periods benefit this team overall, absolutely,
Speaker 7: but it would have to be with the right application.
Speaker 3: Yeah. See the team period two is also when you
Speaker 3: watch the offense work and I talked about this last week.
Speaker 3: Is like I guarantee you they ran that that that
Speaker 3: route they got intercepted with lamb when Branch was sinking.
Speaker 3: I guarantee you I told you this. They ran this
Speaker 3: thing three times in practice and it's like they kept
Speaker 3: telling the corner Okay, read it, read the read the
Speaker 3: read the underneath, read the underneath, and Dak's throwing it.
Speaker 3: Reading the underneath, read the underneath. And then you get
Speaker 3: a guy that's like a real NFL football player that like, huh,
Speaker 3: not throwing that route short? What's coming out behind me?
Speaker 3: You know? And then that and then I'm just gonna sink.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 3: That's that's where you get in trouble. You practice stuff
Speaker 3: and you're thinking, like the quarterback might be thinking, well,
Speaker 3: this throw in practice was open all week this throw,
Speaker 3: that's the throw, that's where I need to go, and
Speaker 3: then it doesn't. You're going, what happened there? Well, all
Speaker 3: week long, you told the quarterback that guy's gonna that
Speaker 3: guy's gonna bite on the crossing route. He's not. He doesn't,
Speaker 3: you know, he doesn't. He's not gonna he's not gonna sink. Well,
Speaker 3: what he does, he sinks. So sometimes you the way
Speaker 3: you practice and the way you prep and the way
Speaker 3: you show the scout team looks and stuff can really
Speaker 3: f you up in these games. You know, how how
Speaker 3: you practice, it's not just you know, it's it's a
Speaker 3: mental side of it too, your scout team. You know, Hey,
Speaker 3: that's what made the Patriots so good when they had
Speaker 3: back in the day with Ernie Adams and stuff, and
Speaker 3: they're running and running a defense like in the Super Bowl,
Speaker 3: they're running a defense. You know, here, the here, the
Speaker 3: Seahawks are going to try and throw the inside, and
Speaker 3: they ran a defense and Ernie Adams and then worked
Speaker 3: on that they saw like three years ago before that.
Speaker 3: They ran this route. This is what they did, and
Speaker 3: they practice that. That's the kind of stuff. You know,
Speaker 3: when you're putting your scout team together, your preparation for
Speaker 3: the game, that's where that's where you win games, when
Speaker 3: you go back and you say, hey, this is you know,
Speaker 3: this is we needed to prep And I think that's
Speaker 3: the physical side of it seems fine. The getting the
Speaker 3: mental side or the preparation of what they're seeing might
Speaker 3: be off in this games.
Speaker 4: All right, we're gonna take our first break. We're going
Speaker 4: to come back.
Speaker 5: We had some interesting comments that we heard at the
Speaker 5: end of last week from Troy Aikman about the wide
Speaker 5: receiver core. We'll talk about that when we come back.

Speaker 3: Pete Morelli. Yeah, Pete Morelli, twenty fifteen.
Speaker 4: That was the call that was picked up you were
Speaker 4: talking about.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a call. It was Anthony Hitchins, Yeah
Speaker 3: on Brandon Pedigrew.
Speaker 4: Good memory, right, You said a linebacker.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was one of those linebackers. It
Speaker 3: was Hitchins. Good, it was Pete Morelli. They actually really
Speaker 3: quick the back Jorge through his flag for defensive pass interference.
Speaker 3: Morelli Toll, Todd Archer. We got information from another official
Speaker 3: from a different angle. He thought the contact was minimal
Speaker 3: and didn't warrant pass interference. He thought it was face guarding.
Speaker 3: So that's kind of where that one went. So anyway, like.
Speaker 5: I said, I got no problems with the pick. Pick
Speaker 5: up the flag. If it's wrong, man, pick up the flag.
Speaker 3: Call face starting is a penalty in college football, but
Speaker 3: not in the NFL.
Speaker 4: YEP.
Speaker 5: All right, let's jump back in over the I guess
Speaker 5: it was maybe Thursday or Friday of last week. I
Speaker 5: think it was Friday maybe when Troy Aikman had the comments.
Speaker 5: He was on the ticket here in Dallas, and his
Speaker 5: comments were, I think the routes are terrible, talking about
Speaker 5: the wide receiver group. I think they run terrible routes,
Speaker 5: and I've thought that beyond this year. I think CD
Speaker 5: has got to improve in his route running. As a quarterback,
Speaker 5: if you're not certain where guys are going to be consistently,
Speaker 5: it's hard to play the position. That's what I see.
Speaker 5: I see guys lazy coming off the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 5: Sometimes they run usually if they don't usually if they do,
Speaker 5: it's because they're anticipating they're going to get the football
Speaker 5: on that play. But if they're not, they don't, and
Speaker 5: it all ties together. I'm not impressed with that part
Speaker 5: of it now. Mike McCarthy did respond to that this
Speaker 5: morning in the press conference, he was asked about those comments.
Speaker 5: His response was, they don't carry any weight with me
Speaker 5: because I watch all the tape, I get to go
Speaker 5: to the meetings, I'm in practice, I'm part of the games,
Speaker 5: so I have a clear understanding of what and where
Speaker 5: Troy's statement In particular, I don't agree with the word selection.
Speaker 5: There is definitely need for improvement in every position, not
Speaker 5: just one position that he commented on. You agree with
Speaker 5: Troy's comments based on the study that you guys have
Speaker 5: done in the film and looking at these wide receivers.
Speaker 6: I do. Personally, I think he hit it on the nod.
Speaker 6: I think with.
Speaker 7: The disconnection that we've seen between DAK and CD, I
Speaker 7: don't think one hundred percent of that can be attributed
Speaker 7: to there not being enough time to establish that connection.
Speaker 7: I think at the end of the day, there is
Speaker 7: a scheme in place that makes this offense very predictable.
Speaker 7: And I think it starts with the route running. These
Speaker 7: guys they run short routes across the field, and it's
Speaker 7: easy to throw off the rhythm of those guys. And
Speaker 7: we saw that against Detroit, where these linebackers and these
Speaker 7: dbs they were able to just put a little enough
Speaker 7: contact on them and it disrupted the entire route because
Speaker 7: they don't really have anything complay that goes into their
Speaker 7: route schemes to where they can bounce off of that
Speaker 7: and make something happen from it.
Speaker 6: So I think Eightman was right.
Speaker 7: And then McCarthy, he's gonna defend his guys, so I mean,
Speaker 7: he's not gonna sit there and say, yeah, he was right,
Speaker 7: whether he believes it or not. But I think at
Speaker 7: the end of the day, there does have to be
Speaker 7: a little bit more intention put on making these routes
Speaker 7: more complex. I mean, one of the biggest things I
Speaker 7: took away from watching Football Day yesterday is watching Detroit,
Speaker 7: watching green Bay, watching Houston. These guys, these are complex
Speaker 7: offensive schemes. These guys, they they know how to scheme
Speaker 7: these guys open and uh, it just kind of reminded
Speaker 7: me of how the Cowboys are not necessarily there, they
Speaker 7: they got there at a certain point last year. I think, uh, down, down,
Speaker 7: down the stretch. But I think all in all, there
Speaker 7: needs to be more intention put in that area.
Speaker 3: I like what you said, and I respect the heck
Speaker 3: out of Troit. I think you have a team that
Speaker 3: doesn't have really great route runners.
Speaker 6: That's probably a product as well.
Speaker 3: I don't think that when you when the route running.
Speaker 3: I think when you put Ceedee Lamb at Oklahoma was
Speaker 3: a player. When you put him on the move, that's
Speaker 3: when he throvened. But if you ask Ceedee Lamb to
Speaker 3: run precise routes, that doesn't always happen. Doesn't always happen
Speaker 3: with Tolbert the guy that has the best, but the
Speaker 3: best route runner you ever had here, and in my
Speaker 3: opinion was Amari Cooper. When you watch it, how it was,
Speaker 3: it was explode, plant break, settle, explode. You know, he
Speaker 3: had an idea for how to set a defensive back up.
Speaker 3: I don't think Dallas has maybe Brandon Cooks. Maybe Brandon Cooks,
Speaker 3: but he is smaller, he's quicker these guys, and.
Speaker 4: They don't really use him like that. And then a
Speaker 4: lot of was that the routes they ask him to
Speaker 4: run that was part of that was part.
Speaker 7: Of what I was about to come back running comeback
Speaker 7: routes outside the name eighty.
Speaker 3: Two percent And I looked this up. Eighty two percent
Speaker 3: of Dallas's routes that they had the most success on.
Speaker 3: Is the hitch that doesn't require any real route running there?
Speaker 3: Does it sounds like it does, It doesn't. I mean,
Speaker 3: it's very it's very simplistic, you know that. But if
Speaker 3: you look at Dak, fifty two percent of his passes
Speaker 3: on crosses and ends are completed fifty so just half
Speaker 3: of those. But when you throw those routes inside, are
Speaker 3: guys really running?
Speaker 10: Now?
Speaker 3: Those guys running those routes with any kind of you know,
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. That's why you guy like Cooks Cooper,
Speaker 3: those kinds of guys. Those are route runners. You watch,
Speaker 3: you watch some guys around the league, and you watch
Speaker 3: their ability to get off the line, to explode, come
Speaker 3: to come to balance, boom inside. I mean, one of
Speaker 3: one of my favorite highlights of a Murray Cooper was
Speaker 3: on a throw against the Giants where he's on in
Speaker 3: the in the he's isolated to the left side and
Speaker 3: he walks off the line and now he's got the
Speaker 3: dB like, whoa, what's this guy doing? Walk walk bam inside.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 3: I mean, hey, it's like I'm setting you up. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm not letting you know where. I don't think Dallas
Speaker 3: has anybody that does that. I don't think Dallas has
Speaker 3: any type of guy that if you asked him to.
Speaker 3: That's why this team leads the league in tight window catches,
Speaker 3: tight window throws. They don't separate. It's the only time
Speaker 3: they don't run routes in order to separate, you know,
Speaker 3: and that and that's that's your that's that's talent. I mean,
Speaker 3: I say it's talent, but that's that's how you're made up.
Speaker 3: You look at you look downfield players, high point players,
Speaker 3: you know, traffic players. Sure, but when you when you
Speaker 3: said go run a route to separate, to get open,
Speaker 3: who you got.
Speaker 4: So let me ask you this.
Speaker 5: It's obvious that they were able to last year, in
Speaker 5: the second half of the year get a lot out
Speaker 5: of this receiving core because this offense was clicking. And
Speaker 5: obviously those are seat those are some of the same
Speaker 5: receivers that weren't able to run great.
Speaker 4: Routes back then. If if if that's just who they are.
Speaker 5: What was the difference last year to this year as
Speaker 5: far as they're their abilities to make the offense.
Speaker 3: I have no idea. It might have been opponents you
Speaker 3: were playing though, too, you know in coverage. I mean,
Speaker 3: I need to go back and look at that. I
Speaker 3: just know right now when I watch this team play,
Speaker 3: I don't I just don't see. And I have the
Speaker 3: utmost respect for people who evaluate this and trade men
Speaker 3: and guys like that, gals that evaluate it too, I
Speaker 3: have utmost respect. I just don't see a group and
Speaker 3: I need to go back and look at somebody. Okay,
Speaker 3: what routes do they having success on? Like I said,
Speaker 3: they're having success on the hitches and things like that.
Speaker 3: The incut routes. Incut routes to me are the routes
Speaker 3: that you have to be able to go up and
Speaker 3: then break and then have that separation. If you're at
Speaker 3: fifty percent throwing those routes, it's not very good. I mean,
Speaker 3: we watched Detroit. You mentioned Detroit. They punish you on
Speaker 3: that stuff.
Speaker 7: I'd be curious to know what the slant numbers of
Speaker 7: CD last year were because of those one hundred and
Speaker 7: thirty five receptions he had last year. It probably feels
Speaker 7: like fifty of them were in breaking slants. It was
Speaker 7: him lining up in the slot outside, didn't matter, three
Speaker 7: steps out and then break in and that's and Dak
Speaker 7: was putting it on the numbers. But I think that's
Speaker 7: easy to identify, it's easy to defend, especially if you're
Speaker 7: expecting it many times. And I think these guys are
Speaker 7: just putting a little bit more physicality on them in
Speaker 7: coverage and it's throwing off the timing because what you've
Speaker 7: we've talked about, or Mike McCarthy has talked about trying
Speaker 7: to operate under that two point three threshold from snap
Speaker 7: to throw. Well, if you're throwing off these receivers with
Speaker 7: physicality and that two point three, they're not going to
Speaker 7: get it off in that two point three. That means
Speaker 7: this offense is operating outside of their structure. So I
Speaker 7: think that's I think that's more of a product of
Speaker 7: what we've seen so far. And then also Cooks not
Speaker 7: being at one hundred percent health, and then he's been
Speaker 7: out these last couple of games. The only time you
Speaker 7: have seen north to south action in this offense is
Speaker 7: throwing a jump ball.
Speaker 6: It's like Okay, it's Holbert's down there.
Speaker 7: Let's see, let's go grab one kid, and it's it's yeah,
Speaker 7: you know, it's just it's it's it's how you want
Speaker 7: to operate a passing offense. And it's it's interesting too
Speaker 7: because I think I think McCarthy can be better as
Speaker 7: far as scheming these open because we've seen it.
Speaker 6: We've seen it the last couple of years. And in
Speaker 6: that sense, so.
Speaker 7: Do they need a guy that can't separate, like if
Speaker 7: they were to go draft one next year, Absolutely they
Speaker 7: need a guy that can separate, and that's unquestioned. But
Speaker 7: I also think there's a little bit on the play
Speaker 7: caller to scheme these guys open a little bit better.
Speaker 5: Real quick, before I break, we got a phone call
Speaker 5: from Anthony in New Jersey. He wants to talk about
Speaker 5: the wide receiver route running.
Speaker 10: What's up, Anthony, Hey, guys, how you doing good?
Speaker 3: Are you?
Speaker 10: Long time? Long time listening to you? Guys? Are great?
Speaker 10: Thank you, Brian, you like every time you like educate
Speaker 10: me on this game and I and I just want
Speaker 10: to thank you for it because I've been listening to
Speaker 10: you for years. It's just that, Yeah, Mike, Mike, my
Speaker 10: question is is the same thing happened last year. These
Speaker 10: like the season starts, they starts off slow, then they
Speaker 10: go into the buy and then they come out of
Speaker 10: the buy and they come out like world beaters, and
Speaker 10: it's it's kind of happening this year, Like what are
Speaker 10: these guys doing wrong that I don't understand? Like what
Speaker 10: are they doing that they that they're getting knocked off
Speaker 10: routes or they're not or like Troy Aikman said, they're
Speaker 10: lazy off the line of scrimmage. And thanks guys, and
Speaker 10: I'll take your comments both there.
Speaker 4: All right, thanks for the call.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we'll find out this weekend, he says.
Speaker 5: He looks like that's how it's playing out this I
Speaker 5: don't know. We're gonna see, Like they played San Francisco
Speaker 5: last year before the bye, they're coming out of buy
Speaker 5: this week having to go to San Francisco. We will
Speaker 5: see if they're able to create some of that same
Speaker 5: magic that they were able to create last year coming
Speaker 5: off the by going it coming out of this buy.
Speaker 7: This year's version of that San Francisco game last year
Speaker 7: just happened against Detroit. So I mean, there's gonna have
Speaker 7: to be a lot of evaluation out of that game
Speaker 7: to try and play. But I would say the biggest
Speaker 7: difference that I saw last year, Mike McCarthy says, he
Speaker 7: splits up the season in trimesters, and at the end
Speaker 7: of the first trimester, which is at the end of
Speaker 7: the first six games, they do a big evaluation period.
Speaker 7: That's what went into this by week last this last week.
Speaker 7: What worked last year was just integrating pre stat motion.
Speaker 4: Which they seem to go back to not doing it.
Speaker 6: Are not complex, That's what's so.
Speaker 3: What if I told you, if I told you that
Speaker 3: their yards per play is better without motion than with.
Speaker 6: Motion this year specifically, yeah, I still want to see
Speaker 6: it more.
Speaker 3: What if I told you the Green Bay Packers yards
Speaker 3: per play is better without motion than with motion.
Speaker 6: That's completely different. Separate if I told you your receivers
Speaker 6: that can get open.
Speaker 3: What if I told you the San Francisco forty nine
Speaker 3: ers h yards per play is better without motion than
Speaker 3: with motion.
Speaker 6: Do you think this team would be better with motion?
Speaker 3: Though?
Speaker 7: Great, just because it's.
Speaker 3: An argument, it's it's an arg. Oh, I was dying
Speaker 3: on your hill too. I went up and looked at
Speaker 3: this stuff, and you look at the teams that are
Speaker 3: heavy that are heavy motion teams, their yards per play
Speaker 3: without motion in a lot of cases is better than
Speaker 3: with it. Like the Green Bay Packers. The delta between
Speaker 3: their their motion and their non motion is staggering.
Speaker 5: But let me ask you this could could that also
Speaker 5: be a situation where because there is motion in their offense,
Speaker 5: they're able to still create those opportunities when there's not
Speaker 5: motion that they can still get great plays out of
Speaker 5: not running.
Speaker 3: But they got great players.
Speaker 4: But the point, But the point is they still run
Speaker 4: a lot of motion. Those teams use a lot of motions,
Speaker 4: but their yards per play fair.
Speaker 5: But I'm saying no, I don't think you can just
Speaker 5: assume that that means that the motion isn't important.
Speaker 4: Those teams run a lot of motion.
Speaker 5: And so the question becomes is their offense just overall
Speaker 5: more efficient because.
Speaker 3: They've had more more That's what I would I think
Speaker 3: their offense is just efficient because of the quarterback, the line,
Speaker 3: and the and the and the receivers. That's where I
Speaker 3: kind of feel like it is play caller, quarterback, you
Speaker 3: know these teams that have that ability to make plays
Speaker 3: when they don't have to use motion. I I trust
Speaker 3: me I want to see motion. But if you it's
Speaker 3: it's surprising to look at the teams that lead the
Speaker 3: league in motion, but then look at yards per play
Speaker 3: without motion, and you're like going what you would figure
Speaker 3: like Green Bay big motion team. Yep, big motion team,
Speaker 3: but much better when they play stationary than than they
Speaker 3: do with most or their yards per play would tell
Speaker 3: you that when they don't run motion, that their yards
Speaker 3: they might average seven point five yards without motion and
Speaker 3: six point five with motion.
Speaker 7: The thing that I think about with that's a very
Speaker 7: interesting point that you bring up, Brian, But the thing
Speaker 7: I think about with that is this team doesn't happen.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's end all be all. That's
Speaker 3: what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: This team doesn't have a problem with sustaining drives, with
Speaker 7: moving down the field. It's about finishing the drives and
Speaker 7: finding the big play. And I think if they integrated
Speaker 7: more motion into this offense, they could start finding those
Speaker 7: big plays a little bit more, both in the run
Speaker 7: game in in the past game. So I'd be curious
Speaker 7: to know what those numbers stand up against. Whenever you're
Speaker 7: looking at big play opportunities, and I think if you
Speaker 7: could just find some big plays for this offense. You
Speaker 7: can make things work. The only north to south big
Speaker 7: play that this team has really found this year was
Speaker 7: that ball on the left sideline to CD and that
Speaker 7: was still thrown with two guys in the area, and
Speaker 7: see he was able to kind of come off of
Speaker 7: it and make.
Speaker 6: A fifty five yard touchdown off of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Other than that, it's been a lot of east to
Speaker 6: west type action.
Speaker 3: Packers success And just trust me, I love motion. I
Speaker 3: want to you if your receivers aren't good route runners,
Speaker 3: you better put him in motion. Okay, if they can't
Speaker 3: win off the line, or.
Speaker 5: If you have one guy who's clearly better than everybody else, Yeah,
Speaker 5: and you don't have a lot else, yeah, you probably
Speaker 5: need to put him in motion.
Speaker 3: Green Bays Green Bays play success. Play success with no
Speaker 3: motion is right at fifty five percent their Their play
Speaker 3: with motion success is right at thirty nine percent. So
Speaker 3: you have thirty nine percent motion success and with no
Speaker 3: motion they're at fifty three percent their play success.
Speaker 4: Here's what I will tell you.
Speaker 5: Just I think it was two to three weeks ago
Speaker 5: I heard Luke Keikley, who's a respect Oh no.
Speaker 4: I'm a linebacker. No, I know, but I'm just saying
Speaker 4: what he said.
Speaker 5: And he was asked the question how much does motion
Speaker 5: affect the defense, and he was like, that is the
Speaker 5: single thing for a defense that makes playing defense substantially
Speaker 5: harder because the moment you think you know what's gonna happen,
Speaker 5: because you gotta look, everything can change and you have
Speaker 5: to then adjust on the fly. And everybody on the
Speaker 5: defense has to have the same thought when they see
Speaker 5: the motion of what's adjusting on the fly. And so
Speaker 5: he said, he says, it doesn't mean it's insurmountable, he said,
Speaker 5: good teams figure it out, good defenses figure it out,
Speaker 5: he said, but it is a part of playing defense.
Speaker 4: That complicates things.
Speaker 5: And so when you're playing a team that uses a
Speaker 5: lot of motion, your preparation has to be on point.
Speaker 3: You have to.
Speaker 5: Prepare a lot harder, a lot better to play those
Speaker 5: types of offenses. And maybe that's just the part of it. Again,
Speaker 5: it's not saying it's stand all, be all. It's saying
Speaker 5: it just complicates things. It gives you a little bit
Speaker 5: more of an edge going into that game than if
Speaker 5: you're not using motion, where defense can just see the
Speaker 5: look right and then adjust to it.
Speaker 6: It makes it more unpredictable. Yes, offense unfortunately suffers from no.
Speaker 3: No, it's it's it's the scheme. It's clearly the scheme here.
Speaker 3: Because it's funny because, like I say, I look at
Speaker 3: this to trait no motion yard per play seven point
Speaker 3: four motion six point three. They're averaging one point one
Speaker 3: yard more of play without motion than they are with motion.
Speaker 3: But you look at the Lions the way they're just
Speaker 3: their ability to run the football and their ability to
Speaker 3: hit those crossing routes, it's just amazing. I mean to me,
Speaker 3: it's it's just it's funny these teams because I always
Speaker 3: thought I thought motion was ind all be all. I
Speaker 3: really really did. But then I'm starting to look at
Speaker 3: these teams that I respect their offense, and I'm going, man,
Speaker 3: maybe it's just they got better players.
Speaker 7: Well how maybe how often are the big play percentages
Speaker 7: happening within the motion? That's that was my question in
Speaker 7: response to this, because I don't think the Cowboys have
Speaker 7: problems sustaining drives. They can get the yards per play.
Speaker 7: It's about finding the big play. And I think with
Speaker 7: these teams that are integrating motion, whenever they integrate heavy motion.
Speaker 7: It's it's trying to scheme up the big play. So
Speaker 7: either they take the shot and they don't get it,
Speaker 7: or they take the shot and they do get it.
Speaker 7: I would be curious to know what the percentage looks
Speaker 7: like as far as how often motion is being successfully run,
Speaker 7: because I think that kind of takes away from the yards.
Speaker 5: Per playing and success like run with bigger plays, which
Speaker 5: is right, exactly, like the bigger plays come from that
Speaker 5: more frequently, but the percentage may be less.
Speaker 4: Exactly, you just got a bigger play exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just funny that to me. Like I said
Speaker 3: that that Green Bay is the difference is fourteen percent
Speaker 3: between between their successful plays and they're not successful plays
Speaker 3: with and without motion.
Speaker 5: All Right, we're gonna take a quick break. We're gonna
Speaker 5: come back, and I have one question for you guys

Speaker 6: AT and T connecting changes everything.
Speaker 5: Welcome back, final segment of the break liferom the SWBC
Speaker 5: Mortgage studios at the Star.
Speaker 4: Well, let's go into this real quick.
Speaker 5: We don't have a lot of time left here, but
Speaker 5: I wanted to ask you guys about the NFC East Yesterday,
Speaker 5: both the Giants and I'm sorry not the Giants. Both
Speaker 5: the Eagles and the Commanders get commanding wins in their
Speaker 5: against their opponents yesterday. And as I'm watching the games,
Speaker 5: I'm looking at Saquon like, man, this guy is he's
Speaker 5: a beast. I don't know if he's this looks like
Speaker 5: prime Saquon Barkley, and then you look at the commanders
Speaker 5: and although he got hurt yesterday, you still look at
Speaker 5: what Jayden Daniels is being able to do this year,
Speaker 5: particularly what he's doing on the ground in addition to
Speaker 5: the passes he's made, but what he's doing on the ground,
Speaker 5: And I thought to myself, which one would be scarier
Speaker 5: for a Dallas defense that is having a hard time
Speaker 5: being able to consistently stop the run, having a deal
Speaker 5: with Sakuon Barkley who runs it his way, versus Jayden
Speaker 5: Daniels as a quarterback who runs it a little differently
Speaker 5: but still gets big time results.
Speaker 4: What do you guys think?
Speaker 6: I think they're both scary.
Speaker 7: But I think Saquan if he's running like he did yesterday,
Speaker 7: there's not many teams in the NFL. It could be
Speaker 7: that it takes it takes the pressure off of the
Speaker 7: passing offense.
Speaker 3: That's what I'd say, Man, what Jalen Hurts will make
Speaker 3: mistakes exactly the kid in the kid in Washington. He
Speaker 3: ain't gonna make mistakes. He protects the football, he scrambles around,
Speaker 3: he'll throw it away. He's deadly accurate. You know, if
Speaker 3: you if you take away say, philadelphiare running the ball
Speaker 3: and make Jalen Hurts. We've seen Jalen Hurts mess up
Speaker 3: games at the end, throw interceptions. You know, Barkley scares
Speaker 3: me far worse than what the guy does that guy
Speaker 3: at the commanders that that oc they're Kingsbury. He's resuscitated
Speaker 3: his career. He's figured out how to run the football
Speaker 3: with his scheme. He never he never was able to
Speaker 3: run the football great with his skin point, and now
Speaker 3: he's now he's kind of figured it out because he's
Speaker 3: got a quarterback that knows how to do it, you know.
Speaker 3: And the quarterback is he's thin and all that, and
Speaker 3: everybody's like, oh, he's frail, he's no a kid knows
Speaker 3: how to protect himself. Yeah, he'll take some hits, but
Speaker 3: he'll get out of bounds, get down. He does what
Speaker 3: he has to do. But Barkley running the ball takes
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts out of the game. And that's if you're
Speaker 3: playing the Eagles, you're kind of counting on him throwing
Speaker 3: an interception or two.
Speaker 5: And that was yesterday without their starting left tackle, who's
Speaker 5: a really good player. Yeah, and he's he's out now
Speaker 5: on the ir so he's gonna miss at least four
Speaker 5: weeks three moreks. So I think that's that was a
Speaker 5: that that to me was as impressive as anything else
Speaker 5: that they did that without their starting left tackle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, real quick, can I tell you something?
Speaker 4: Sure?
Speaker 3: Motion touchdowns? Jets four, the Browns three, Cowboys three, pay
Speaker 3: Broncos three. Those are the bottom four teams. What do
Speaker 3: we always know about? What do we know about Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 4: Hey eighth?
Speaker 3: Where did this coach come from? Hates motion yet?
Speaker 5: And tell tell us the up end of that. You
Speaker 5: mentioned that before. The teams that are that are at
Speaker 5: the top of the league, what are they getting?
Speaker 3: Eighteen?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Eighteen? Yeah, yeah, that's the Lions. Uh, you're the forty
Speaker 3: nine ers who you're about to play. They have thirteen
Speaker 3: motion touchdowns, but the top the top teams in the
Speaker 3: league have eight eighteen. That would be the Bills at eighteen,
Speaker 3: the Lions at eighteen, the Packers at eighteen, how about
Speaker 3: the Saints sixteen?
Speaker 4: They started us so hot and then it just kind
Speaker 4: of part. It all tells a part on them all.
Speaker 5: I appreciate you guys. You want to be back tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Brian's gonna have some some I think we're gonna go
Speaker 5: on the.
Speaker 3: More mind talk.
Speaker 5: Brian brought us tomorrow and uh and then Wednesday, we'll
Speaker 5: get you guys ready. We'll start looking forward to the
Speaker 5: next game Cowboys versus forty nine Ers. Till then, for
