How's 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:01.920 everybody doing? 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:04.959 Every day? 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:05.640 Every day? 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:06.200 Every cheer? 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:08.640 We had ten billion dollar company with bad chairs. 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:10.800 I don't know if it's the cheers fault. I think 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:13.520 it's more the carpet that's the problem. Carpet, Like we 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.399 can maybe slide a little better. Maybe anyway, slow track, 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:18.920 slow track, anyway, let's. 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:19.640 Get into this thing. 0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.840 We uh, We're gonna talk first about uh some interesting 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:26.360 comments that mister Jones had this morning on Sean On 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:28.920 with Sean RJ and Bobby on one O five dot 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.440 three the fan here locally. Uh, then we'll get an 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.360 injury update. It is a massive injury report, but part 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:36.520 of that is also a short week, and so they 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:38.720 list a lot of guys, as Jerry even said this morning, 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:40.600 lists a lot of guys that maybe if you had 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.160 a regular schedule this week hit playing on Sunday. Some 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.080 of these guys may not even make the injury report. 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.160 But we'll talk about that as well, and then we'll 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:48.600 get into the New York offense. 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:49.160 Uh. 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.360 I think pretty much the whole conversation is gonna come 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.760 down to one Tommy DeVito. But we'll talk about that 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:58.280 when we get into it. Let's start first with comment 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.160 Jerry made this morning that I think was pretty interesting 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.760 for me, at least. He was talking about the con 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.520 He was asked about tanking and his thoughts on tanking, and. 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:08.360 He went to this whole thing about it. 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.320 He talked a little bit about how coaches care about 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.160 their win loss record and players care about winning, and 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:15.440 he said, you know, the game's too important. Winning is 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.680 too important, and he threw this in It wasn't to 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:20.920 this question, it was another question, but he ended it 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.359 with this thing isn't over, which leads everybody to think 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.080 that in the back of his mind he still thinks 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.640 at four and seven, there is a chance there's a 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:31.799 chance that the Cowboys can get on a roll here 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:33.799 and actually make something of this season. 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:35.320 My question for you guys is, at four. 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:38.880 And seven, with favorable matchups over the next four weeks, 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.519 do you think Dallas can actually work themselves back into 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:43.120 contention for a wildcard spot. 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.959 I don't. I it's a five percent chance according to 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.880 NFL Next ten stats that that they squeak into the playoffs. 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.760 And I was breaking down like the ESPN playoff model 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.799 yesterday and what exactly they would need. They would basically 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:59.400 need to win out and every team that has I 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.320 did it as like every team that has the better 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.720 record in every matchup across the NFL for the rest 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:05.560 of the for the rest of the year, I put 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:07.560 them as the winner and I get the tiebreaker to 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.480 a home team. They make the playoff in that scenario. 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.200 So so every team ahead of them has to lose out. 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:13.880 Is that what you're saying? 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:17.400 No, no, no, Every other game that does not involve the Cowboys. 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.640 I put the winner as the team that has the 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.560 best record currently. That makes sense, and if the teams 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.760 have the same record, then I put the home team. 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.079 I just have the tiebreak of the home team. I 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:27.720 was like, Okay, let me figure out if they don't 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:27.959 make it. 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:29.200 They do make. 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.520 It in that scenario as the seventh seed, but if 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.400 they even lose just one game. 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:35.720 So it really is on them because the what you're 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.120 saying that you're actually giving difference to the better team 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.480 and all the matchups. Yes, and you're just saying that 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.920 basically it really relies on Dallas. 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.200 Yeah, I know this sounds crazy. Dallas winning out. 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:49.520 Essentially, that would be eight games straight, seven games seven straight, 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.640 seven games straight, a seven game win streak to be 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:54.640 able to finish the season. 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.520 And under that scenario they could get in. 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:58.680 Yeah, at ten and seven, they'd be the seventh seed, 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:00.400 and I believe that they would be trying going to 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:01.800 Green Bay, which is funny. 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.800 I didn't think the odds would actually be that good 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:08.160 like that actually seemed like that was not a other 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:11.320 than Cowboys obviously winning out Like that's hard to do. 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.119 I don't care who you're playing that's hard to win 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.760 seven games in a row in the NFL, But just 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.320 looking at from everybody else's standpoint, that actually is. 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:20.000 Hard to quarterback. 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.360 Yeah yeah, yeah, Jack, you probably would feel a little bit. 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:24.479 Better about it. That's I mean, they weren't playing great 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.960 with him, but you know, yeah, that's uh, Listen, you 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.480 know there there are too many days now if you 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.160 you lost to the Saints, who are awful right now, 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:35.719 you know, Atlanta doesn't look like the same team. They're 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.440 six and five. You know, you had some you know, 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.960 the Ravens, you can understand, the Eagles, you can understand. 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:44.840 You know, there's been some games where you know, look 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.960 at San Francisco now, you know, look at their situation. 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.280 I mean it's you just you just you allowed too 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.640 many things to get away from you early in this season, 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.640 you know, and yeah, there are a possibility. Sure can 0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:00.320 they win these games? Yeah, sure they can. But I 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.520 I feel like though, to me, they just there were 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:06.440 so many losses early and bad ones, some bad losses 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.520 that that you know, you are what you are and 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.200 you know, yeah, is or hope you know, you did 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.159 beat the team that is currently the seventh seed right now, right, 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:19.880 Commanders so yeah, I'm with Nick. I I just don't 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:21.840 see it. I could see I could see a few 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.160 more wins along the way, but I could also see 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:25.720 some a few more losses as well. 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:31.000 Yeah, it's obviously highly unlikely based on everything that they've 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.760 presented this season so far. But at the same time, 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:37.160 I mean, there's always a chance until there's not. And 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.080 I wouldn't expect Jerry to come on the radio or 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:43.000 anywhere and say otherwise, like, you're still gonna fight as 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:47.240 much as you can. And I and people they I've 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.560 heard fans and send me messages like, oh, but you 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.560 don't want them to tank? Is like asking like that 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:55.760 you should be wanting to tank the season to get 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.039 a better draft pick. But there's no way if you're 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:03.119 a real fan, or if you're coaching or playing or 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.039 the general manager, there's no way. You get to a 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.479 game and you don't want every part of you to 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.840 have them win. Like, I get it. We can sit here, 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:14.760 oh yeah, draft picks, but then once we're in the 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.240 game watching the game, you're like, no, come on, Like 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.120 you get into it and you want to get that 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.200 win and it's exciting, and that's what the game is 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.000 all about so, I think all of that mentality of 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.760 draft and position goes out the window once you're in 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.480 it and live in the game in the presence. So 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.320 it's just it's hard for you to convince the whole 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.520 team to be like, hey, guys, yeah, let's let's let's 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:36.120 lose this game. 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:36.840 Let's go out there. 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:40.200 We're heavy underdogs against the Commanders. Yeah, he heavy under 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.400 I mean, you know, you we've talked about this. They 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:47.799 don't need to tank. They're naturally they've got some deficiency. Yeah, 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:51.039 they naturally try and give games away. They've given away 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.920 some games this year, you know, so you don't have 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.240 to tank. But you guys are right, you've guys, everybody's 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.000 done this long enough. It's it's hard to come in 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:03.120 this building every week and not try and win. It's hard. 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.680 It's like Mickey there for a minute, but it just is. 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.880 It's hard. But you know, to me, like I said, 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:14.560 I you know, Jerry's right, the drafting position will be 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:16.760 what it is and you'll make do of it. And 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.760 he said, hey, the players we want will be there, 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:22.600 and you know he's he's going to be right about that. 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.280 You know, Yeah, you would you like to have high 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:29.080 picks throughout the thing. Yeah, but not at the cost 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:32.360 of being damn miserable every damn week. It's different when 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:36.360 you work in this building there, you go different. It's different. 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.000 I mean, I've experienced it from both ends. I've been 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.120 you know, five and eleven, three straight years. God dang, 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.160 I would have I almost said what I would have 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:46.119 done if you know, just to get a win. Derek, 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:49.480 you're a part of that. You saw that. It's miserable 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.600 around here, folks. This is no fun. This is not 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:56.080 a fun place. When you lose, you know, imagine going 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.320 to your job every day and somebody telling you you're 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.400 not worth a damn you know, this is hard. And 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.680 when you win, you get a breath, get you get 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:08.280 to live again, you know. George Allen, the old Washington 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.560 at the time Redskins coach, said, when you lose, a 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:15.160 little piece of you dies. You die when you lose here, 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.880 you know, And and that's a problem. And I could 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:22.200 see why, you know, trust me, it's not just the Joneses. 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:26.080 It's Derek Eagleton, it's Amber Garcia, it's Nick Eatman, it's 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.800 everybody that works in this building. They die a little 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:29.559 bit when they lose. 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.920 I must say that some most Cowways content has been 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:33.360 popping since yesterday. 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:34.320 So it's good. 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:35.600 That's a good one. 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.600 They win as good. Yes, it's a different vibe, it's 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:39.280 a different field. 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:43.120 Twenty sixteen, this thing was on a run, a eleven 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.680 straight game run. It went Giants loss and then a 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:49.640 Giant's loss, which was really strange that year. But I mean, 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:53.320 it's just it's just the energy that you feel, you know, 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.600 and you get and yeah, you know you want the 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.720 best draft position, absolutely you do, but not at the 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:03.840 car feeling like crap every week you work here. It 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:07.120 doesn't work that way. Seriously, folks, if you were part 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:12.040 of this, you would understand it. It sucks. Everything about 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:15.240 it sucks. And that's why when people argue with me 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.160 about well man, you go to take no, you don't. 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:22.320 You don't five and eleven three straight years. No, I 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:24.520 won a super Bowl. That's the greatest, one of the 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.599 greatest other than my son being born. It's one of 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:28.720 the greatest feelings I've ever had in my life, being 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.640 five eleven straight, three straight years when I'm from Dallas, 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:35.200 Texas and watching my friends go what are you doing 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.800 over there? To be honest, with you. I really don't 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.880 know you know that. I mean, that's that's the kind 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.600 of crap you go through. And so yes, everybody gets 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:46.160 to breathe a little bit this week. 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.680 And that's the honest part of it, Brian, that literally 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.160 you can't No, it's true, but you can't escape it. 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.760 That's the point when when things are going bad and 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.160 really bad, you can't escape it. 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:58.000 Everywhere you go. 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:00.559 You go to your kids school, you go to the harborshop, 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:02.520 you go to the grocery store, you happen to be 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:04.040 wearing some cowboys gear, which we. 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:05.800 Have plenty of because they always are giving us stuff. 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:10.880 And somebody asks, yeah, absolutely, and but it's just like 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:14.400 it's you can't escape it. So it's it's nice when 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.800 I know on the plane afterwards there. 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:23.440 Were lots and we're smiling, Nick smiling, everybody's smiling. After 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:23.760 a win. 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:27.760 After a loss, everybody's grumpy and it's not fun. It's 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:28.960 like you work here. 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.360 Part of why people work here, I think is because 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.440 it is a fun environment. It is cool being around 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.880 the team and actually being able to partake in this. 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.120 When it's when it's losing, it ain't fun. 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.240 No, this would be fun. This would be one of 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.520 the best gigs in the world if you didn't have 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:48.040 to play games. Yeah, or they don't know, if they 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:49.959 just said, hey, listen, we're gonna play, we're gonna have 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:53.520 team on paper, you're gonna draft sign guys, and oh 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.600 you had the best paper team. Okay, Now we go 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.080 to the off season when here we go, you know. 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:01.240 So that's where I'm kind of like, got young visitors 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:11.079 outside here today is okay, this is. 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.719 What happens these days when it's Thanksgiving holidays. 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.440 Yeah, we got we got guests that come to visit us. 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.920 Yeah. Oh look Diego, Mister Diego is a part of the. 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:21.920 Show that the most handsome man on the planet. 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:25.240 Yeah. But see, that's what I'm saying though. I just 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.560 that I just know from my personal feeling of working here, 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.720 and I can understand it, and like people are like, oh, no, 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:33.760 you need I work on you and I we work 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:37.520 on the draft so hard, better drafting position. Yeah, why not? 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.000 But it's okay. Wherever they say we're gonna pick, we'll 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.600 find players, right, We'll pick. We'll pick every the first round, 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:46.920 the second round. We'll give away that fourth round pick 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.920 because we sometimes we don't care about that fourth round pick. 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.760 But here we are. You know, we'll draft wherever that 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:54.440 position is. You'll figure it out. 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.560 I'll take you where they won't draft's twenty four so 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.360 or twenty nine, wherever they drafted last year, and then 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.120 trade it back to you know, you have a better place. 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:02.920 They failed that thing out of it like they did 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:04.599 Travis Frederick that one. 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.360 For me, this feels like a little bit like Christmas 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.959 used to feel when I was younger. You get to 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.360 dream a little bit. Right now, they're still in it, 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:13.959 so you could dream a little bit and not as 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:15.599 crazy as it may sound, that they could get on 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:17.160 a run and go seven in a row and win 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.360 seven in a row and everything works out to where 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:22.400 you have this magical run. It's still magically and in 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.120 this time of the year, this is when you can 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.200 allow yourself to just dream of the magical. 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:30.240 It's something crazy like that happens. It would be the 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.080 best documentary we. 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:35.160 Ever because this is crazy ever made. 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.120 Because everything that has happened this season, and if it 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.280 was to be an optom like that, it would be insane. 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.400 Just for the record, we were making a list of 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:46.280 all the crazy things that have happened this season, because 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.280 that's a documentary in and of itself. But if they 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.920 should turn it around and actually get a run, yeah, 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:51.720 that that would. 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:56.360 Break our dreams. Also died on the Thanksgiving if you 0:12:56.440 --> 0:13:01.760 remember that, right, I gotta win at the Dolphins point. 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:06.720 That is the point the Dolphins. He got a Dan Campbell, 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:10.720 I think, interim coach to the Dolphins, Rainy stay, you know, 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.080 and then it got hotter than all standing down there, 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:17.160 get a victory, Romo plays, then Thanksgiving comes around, and 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:20.120 then Romo's laying on the field injured that time, and 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:21.000 then our dreams died. 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:21.520 Yeah. 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:24.439 So we we've seen about death a lot today. 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.600 It's sports death, all right, Sports death. Yeah, let's clear 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.240 that up, Yeah, George Allen, sports death.

How I would try and find a way 0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:00.640 to get I love Craig way by play for the text. 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.080 Craig and I are really good friends, and he is. 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:04.919 He is so fun to call a game with. I've 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:08.280 done high school football with him. He is such a pro. Yeah, gosh, 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.640 such a pro. Great job of those Texas games. 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:12.480 I'm so excited about that game this weekend. 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:16.800 Yeah, ners, he's talking. I was talking my son Bennett 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:18.840 about it. He's gonna be He's got actually a good seed. 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:21.320 He's he's in the end zone, but in the lower bowl. 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:21.840 Oh wow. 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:22.520 So yeah, he got it. 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:24.240 Going to be surrounded by A and M people. 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.359 He the last time he was in that stadium, he 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:29.520 saw L s U take a seven overtime loss against 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.880 A and M. So he's hopeful of different, different outcome there. 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:33.240 For sure. 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:35.199 I think is gonna be a classic game. I really do. 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:37.000 They usually are, Yeah, they usually are. 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:40.160 All right, let's get into some injuries we've got. I'm 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:42.560 gonna run down ten names here, because that list is long. 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:44.399 I got ten I picked out that I think are 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:48.199 most consequential. I'm just gonna run down there and you 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.280 tell me what's going on with him. Austin Richards did 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:51.520 not practice ankle. 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:54.359 Yes, so he was wearing a boot yesterday whenever media 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.159 walked into the locker room. It looks like this is 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.080 going to be an issue that keeps him out for 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.800 at least a couple of weeks, so certainly going to 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.400 miss Thanksgiving, and it's gonna I think he'd be hard 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.600 pressed to play against Cincinnati, which is which is unfortunate, 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.040 just because he's been rotating in with Tyler Guiden. It 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.080 looked like he had finally carved a role for himself. 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.359 And then now this high ankle is popped up, and 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:16.480 we've seen how long high ankles can nag on. We 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:19.520 saw with Micah Parsons that ended up being a lot 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:23.000 longer than expected initially. So that's that's the word right now. 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:23.880 But not playing there a. 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.560 Doga in that spot now then, but works back in 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.680 now do you continue to rotate even with the doga? 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:33.840 You just yeah, maybe maybe they found something by rotating 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:36.680 with Guidon in a tackle on either tackle. 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:39.040 I don't think that was necessarily by plan. I don't 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:40.720 think Whenever the penalties got out of hand in the 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.200 fourth quarter, Okay, then that's when awesome started to pick up. 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.320 The whole issue. Line up a little close to the line. 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.400 Yeah, picture, there's not huge green grass in between. He's 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:53.080 not a slot tackle, right, But. 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:54.360 Richards play this last week I thought. 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:58.720 From Austin Richards. Richard Richards, I thought was fine. He 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:00.920 only had I think it was fourteen past block snap, 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.040 so he didn't have a ton of opportunities. But he 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:05.480 was clean. I thought he was cleaner than when he 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:06.920 started a couple of years ago. 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:11.240 So he's like the old Molly Hatchett song Flirting with Disaster. 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:14.240 That's a song back but back in the day. It okay, Yeah, 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:15.800 it's good. The name of the song flirt and look 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:18.240 it up, flirting with Disaster. It kind of describes how 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:20.879 he flirts with disaster every once in a while. 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:21.000 You know. 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:23.960 I mean it's like and then he you know, and 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:26.720 then he balls away kind of a thing. So yeah, 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:29.199 I mean he he plays on his feet and you know, 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:31.480 he's able to kind of work guys past the quarterback 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:33.720 and when he's asked to make a cutoff block, he 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:36.720 can get it. But man, I mean, he's he has 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:39.400 not been a liability out there when he's been asked to. 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:41.399 Play Cooper Rush limited with a knee. 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:42.480 Uh yeah. 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:44.600 So Mike McCarthy was asked about this yesterday in the 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:46.800 press conference and he said he had just gotten back 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:48.480 from seeing Cooper. They're just gonna take it slow with 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:50.840 him this week, but it doesn't look to be anything 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:53.720 too serious. But it is noted that he was limited 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:54.080 for sure. 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:57.719 Trayvon Diggs missed last week with he's limited yesterday with 0:19:57.840 --> 0:19:58.520 groin and knee. 0:19:58.560 --> 0:19:59.200 What's up with him. 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:01.680 It's trending in the right direction. Uh, it got back 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:03.440 on the practice field yesterday, so that was that was 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:06.000 a big step in the right direction. My anticipation is 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:08.120 that he will play on Thursday from the conversations I've had, 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:11.359 but uh, they're gonna take it slowly. There's a reason why, 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:13.320 and I'm sure it'll be in kind of the answer 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:14.840 I give for one of the guys you ask about 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:15.240 here soon. 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:19.600 That's interesting, nice little tease, all right. Tyler Smith limited ankle, knee. 0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:21.560 Sounds like he's gonna be able to go on Thursday. 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:24.199 Being able to get that rest over the weekend, not 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:27.639 only not playing, but just kind of taking it easy 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:31.280 and being overall off the field, it allowed him to 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:32.760 heal up. So he was able to get back on 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:35.080 the practice field Monday, which I think was a little 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:37.240 bit better than some could have expected. All right. 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:40.520 Eric Hendricks did not participate with groin and shoulder. 0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:42.199 Yeah, I say that that's probably the one we need 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:45.399 to ask about. Yeah, yeah, that's that's the only guy 0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:46.560 I don't have something for right here. 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:47.600 All right, and that week we. 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:51.880 Could me let me say, we'll ask him how he feels. 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:55.600 If he doesn't give a really long answer, then he's 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:56.520 probably not gonna play. 0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:57.359 If he. 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:01.280 Gives you, if he gives you a gloss answer, then yeah, 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:02.560 but we have him on at five o'clock. 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:02.800 Yeah. 0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:05.080 I think we've been full quite a bit this season 0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:07.240 with some of these guys that we were expecting. 0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:08.119 To come back and then they digs. 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:10.040 Was a surprise when last oh yeah, no doubt. 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:11.600 Yeah, even. 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:14.680 I was expecting Tyler to play. 0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:15.400 But all right. 0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:17.600 Marshawn Neeland did not participate with the knee. 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:20.000 Yeah, just battling soreness. It was his first game back 0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:22.600 after being brought off ir it was. It was I 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:24.560 think it was a scheduled d n P yesterday, So 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:26.399 just battling some soreness off that knee. 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:28.679 Zach Martin did not practice ankle and shoulder. 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:31.280 Yeah, also looking like he will not play on Thursday. 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:34.520 Looks like they're hoping to get him back in time 0:21:34.560 --> 0:21:35.200 for Cincinnati. 0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:38.440 All right, Jake Ferguson did not participate with a concussion. 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:40.520 Yeah, still in the protocol. Not expected to play on 0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:41.360 Thursday as of now. 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:42.679 Ceedee lamb limited. 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:46.119 Yeah, still good. Just battling some soreness again with him 0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:48.240 as well. It's he's been battling that foot all year, 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:50.159 it feels like so uh and now that back has 0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:51.919 started to creep in the last couple of weeks. This 0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:54.119 is just a guy who's asked been asked to do 0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:56.600 a whole lot in these last few weeks. And uhs 0:21:56.680 --> 0:21:58.359 he's taking the bruises as a respult. 0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:00.119 Brandon Cooks limited with an. 0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:02.200 So this is what I'm talking about. So Brandon Cooks 0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:04.480 was scheduled to play last week, all throughout the week, 0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:07.320 and there was even packages included for him in the 0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:10.600 offensive game plan throughout practice. Last week got to Friday 0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:13.760 and he was experiencing a little bit more soreness than expected, 0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:15.720 and so they went ahead and shut him down for 0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:18.960 the weekend. But that decision did not come until Friday. 0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:19.560 The region. 0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:21.920 The reason I had mentioned Trayvon Diggs a little bit earlier. 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:24.600 Is just because it's going good right now, but it 0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:26.639 could it could be a Wednesday thing where things are 0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:28.360 not going good and he could be pulled. That's why 0:22:28.400 --> 0:22:31.160 I mentioned that. But as of right now, Cooks, Cooks 0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:32.800 should be ready to go by Thursday. That's if he 0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:33.560 stays on track. 0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:36.800 Awesome. Do they have to activate him? Is he is? 0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:39.960 He does have to be activated, somebody has to come off. 0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:41.840 Somebody would have to come off, or somebody else would 0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:45.400 have to go on ir I if it depends what 0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:48.800 the testing is around Awesome Richards. If they expect that 0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:51.080 to be at least a four game more deal, then 0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:54.480 that would probably be the easy move. But then you'd lose. 0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:56.359 You basically lose Awesome Richards for the rest of the season. 0:22:56.400 --> 0:22:58.280 But I've never heard of a high ankle that didn't 0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:01.680 take more than two weeks hi straight damn much more 0:23:01.720 --> 0:23:06.680 than that, you know, But yeah, I mean gone the 0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:08.760 time you hear that, you're thinking four to six weeks 0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:09.520 at the very least. 0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:12.520 When the trainer immediately goes high and then you go no, 0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:14.920 like high and they go no high ankle spring. 0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:15.760 You know, and you're like not. 0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:17.800 But who knows. 0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:19.720 Obviously they got to do more testing and figure that 0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:21.600 part out. But that could be, I guess, part of 0:23:21.640 --> 0:23:23.000 it if they get to that point. 0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:23.840 All right, let's move on. 0:23:23.920 --> 0:23:26.679 Let's talk about the Giants offense. And as I started 0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:28.960 kind of looking at everything around them, it seems like 0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:32.000 everything's about Tommy DeVito. Whatever they're going to be able 0:23:32.000 --> 0:23:34.560 to do or not do will be about Tommy DeVito 0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:37.440 stopping Brian So I just you know, I thought about 0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:39.400 I thought about that great story you tell about when 0:23:39.400 --> 0:23:46.960 Parcels sent those tickets put a gun on hilarious. 0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:50.159 I went to that was my mann Manny and those guys. 0:23:50.200 --> 0:23:52.080 Man you ever keep you ever you ever reached out 0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:54.080 to Manny, you don't keep going. 0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:56.480 I want him on documentaries everywhere. 0:23:56.960 --> 0:23:58.680 You tell that story on air? Is that a story 0:23:58.680 --> 0:23:59.119 we can tell you? 0:23:59.320 --> 0:24:00.199 That's brian Us. 0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:02.000 You can talking about the Giants. 0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:05.400 I'll come back, all right, Tommy Davito, all right, tell 0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:08.359 me what Tommy DeVito does well and what where he struggles? 0:24:09.119 --> 0:24:11.040 You got something in mind for Tommy d You you 0:24:11.359 --> 0:24:13.480 take Tommy d I'll take Tyrone Tracy. 0:24:13.720 --> 0:24:17.400 Oh okay, thank you, they got you know, I'll say 0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:20.320 this about with the thing with Tommy DeVito is they've 0:24:20.359 --> 0:24:22.720 they've really had a problem with their offensive line. And 0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:25.560 I and I say that because of what happens with 0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:27.919 Daniel Jones, and you go back and watch all the sacks. 0:24:28.640 --> 0:24:32.800 These quarterbacks hold the ball, and so what happens is 0:24:33.200 --> 0:24:35.639 this offensive line gives up a lot of pressures, they 0:24:35.720 --> 0:24:38.600 give up sacks. They've had a revolving door now at 0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:41.520 left tackle has been a problem. They've had to move 0:24:41.560 --> 0:24:44.679 the right tackle left tackle now back from left tackle 0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:48.000 to right tackle. It's really been a big issue for them. 0:24:48.320 --> 0:24:51.560 But with with Tommy DeVito, the thing about him is 0:24:51.600 --> 0:24:54.639 though he can be accurate throwing the football, and he 0:24:54.760 --> 0:24:57.879 can't be accurate throwing it not so much in the 0:24:57.920 --> 0:24:59.879 middle of the field, but things like in the fly, 0:25:00.440 --> 0:25:03.359 the hitches and things like that. So you know what 0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:06.320 you have to be have to be mindflow is that 0:25:06.480 --> 0:25:08.400 he is going to try and get the ball out quick. 0:25:08.440 --> 0:25:11.359 Does he always have success doing it? No, he does it, 0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:14.120 and when he holds it then that's when he gets 0:25:14.160 --> 0:25:17.800 in some problems there. They've really really struggled Elik Neighbors 0:25:17.880 --> 0:25:20.919 last week was you know he was adamant. I mean, 0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:24.240 he was hot. This is going to be the Malik 0:25:24.320 --> 0:25:28.040 Neighbors show. This is going to be Brian Day Ball 0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:32.160 and and and uh Mike Kafka the o c here 0:25:32.840 --> 0:25:35.680 they're going to if they as they throw the football 0:25:35.920 --> 0:25:38.639 with Tommy DeVito, it is every I have a feeling 0:25:38.640 --> 0:25:40.320 that every single pass is going to go in the 0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:44.000 direction of Elite Neighbors. They're going to live or die 0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:45.400 by him playing in this. 0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:47.040 Game because they got to make sure he knows. 0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:52.159 And you know what, he is absolutely right. He is 0:25:52.200 --> 0:25:54.120 their best player. Now. I will say this, though, You're 0:25:54.160 --> 0:25:56.720 right about Tracy because when we went when we played 0:25:56.720 --> 0:26:00.200 the first time around here, it was single Singletary was 0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:03.040 the lead back. Tracy was kind of the back that 0:26:03.080 --> 0:26:05.760 those roles have flip now. But the thing about de 0:26:05.880 --> 0:26:09.800 Vido though, is that it's it's the shots down the 0:26:09.840 --> 0:26:13.720 field are probably not going to be accurate, The shots 0:26:13.760 --> 0:26:15.680 in the middle of the field probably not going to 0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:19.720 be accurate. But everything to like the outsides and like 0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:22.320 the little just the little quick passes, the hitches, the 0:26:22.359 --> 0:26:26.280 outs and things like that, the swings, the flats, that's 0:26:26.359 --> 0:26:28.320 kind of where he wants to throw the football. 0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:32.840 Now is he is he better than Daniel Jones? The 0:26:32.840 --> 0:26:34.120 same guy Jones. 0:26:35.040 --> 0:26:37.320 They have both court mean you, I sat there and 0:26:37.400 --> 0:26:40.720 watched Daniel Jones take sack after sack just because I 0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:43.560 was curious, like, is it the offensive line is the quarterback? 0:26:44.080 --> 0:26:47.400 These dudes will hold the ball. I mean, now, okay, 0:26:47.760 --> 0:26:50.720 they've got guys that can get open. Neighbors can get open. 0:26:50.760 --> 0:26:52.760 He hadn't play. I mean he's had some times. He 0:26:52.840 --> 0:26:56.160 got hurt in that Dallas game and missed some games. Neighbors, 0:26:56.200 --> 0:26:59.960 Slayton Robinson. They've got guys that can catch the foot. 0:27:00.600 --> 0:27:03.320 You know, They've got guys the tight end, Theo Johnson 0:27:03.359 --> 0:27:06.159 can catch the football. So I think a lot of 0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:09.280 it has to do with how bad their line's played. 0:27:09.720 --> 0:27:12.320 But man, it's been a struggle for these quarterbacks just 0:27:12.320 --> 0:27:15.159 to get the ball out of their hands, you know, 0:27:15.240 --> 0:27:17.800 to find guys and you watch it on the you 0:27:17.840 --> 0:27:21.720 watch the sideline cop and you're like, guys open th 0:27:21.760 --> 0:27:25.560 throw the ball, throw it. So I I think I 0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:27.320 think a lot of it has to do with the line. 0:27:27.640 --> 0:27:28.720 I think a lot of it has to do with 0:27:28.720 --> 0:27:33.480 the quarterbacks holding the ball. But I guarantee you, neighbors, 0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:35.639 I think I think went and played a game against 0:27:35.640 --> 0:27:39.040 the Giants one time, where he had like eighteen targets. 0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:41.840 I could see this. I could see the same thing 0:27:41.920 --> 0:27:43.440 with elite neighbors in this game. 0:27:43.520 --> 0:27:45.879 Yeah yeah, Molie Neighbors would used to talk about him 0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:47.320 being Adam and he had some words to say to 0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:50.159 the media after their loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday 0:27:50.160 --> 0:27:54.879 about yeah, yeah, yeah, about his unuse in the offense. 0:27:54.880 --> 0:27:58.359 I guess you could say, I'll speak about this offense 0:27:58.359 --> 0:28:00.600 as a hole and then I'll dive into Tracy. There's 0:28:01.640 --> 0:28:04.200 enough desperation on the offensive side of the ball at 0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:06.359 the Giants where it should concern Cowboys fans. 0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:07.400 I think, yeah, yeah, yep. 0:28:07.560 --> 0:28:09.840 You look at a quarterback who is getting a rare 0:28:09.920 --> 0:28:13.480 second opportunity to win a starting job, and he shouldn't 0:28:13.520 --> 0:28:15.480 really be having that opportunity. In our opinion, it. 0:28:15.600 --> 0:28:17.320 Muld be Drew Locke. 0:28:17.920 --> 0:28:20.800 You have a offensive play collar slash head coach who 0:28:21.440 --> 0:28:24.440 going into a ten day break could be looking at 0:28:24.440 --> 0:28:26.239 this situation and being like, Hey, if we don't perform here, 0:28:26.280 --> 0:28:29.000 I could be out of a job come Monday. And 0:28:29.000 --> 0:28:31.760 then you have an offensive line that is starting to 0:28:32.119 --> 0:28:35.000 get healthier. Evan Neil's comeback. He's played well in his 0:28:35.000 --> 0:28:37.400 first couple of games back. I think this protection unit 0:28:37.480 --> 0:28:38.920 is playing a little bit better in the last couple 0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:41.400 of weeks. I think you have all of that in 0:28:41.400 --> 0:28:43.720 elite neighbors as well. I think there's a desperation to 0:28:43.720 --> 0:28:46.120 get him targets. There's enough desperation that I think it 0:28:46.120 --> 0:28:49.840 should concern you. I'll dive into Tyrone Tracy. As you mentioned, 0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:52.120 Devin Singletary was the starter for the last time these 0:28:52.120 --> 0:28:54.640 two teams played up at MetLife. The very next week, 0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:58.000 they turned to Tracy. At that moment, they were thirtieth 0:28:58.040 --> 0:29:01.040 in the NFL in total rushing. They were averaging eighty 0:29:01.040 --> 0:29:04.040 five yards per game. They couldn't sustain drives for anything. 0:29:04.080 --> 0:29:07.080 Singletary was just not the guy, and Dave Ball had 0:29:07.080 --> 0:29:09.600 seen his offense only put together twenty six yards on 0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:12.760 the ground against that Cowboys rush defense that had given 0:29:12.800 --> 0:29:15.040 up five hundred and fifty seven in the first three games. 0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:18.200 They turned to the rookie Tyrone Tracy. He's a rookie 0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:20.760 out of Purdue, played receiver for his first two or 0:29:20.760 --> 0:29:22.720 three years with the boiler Makers and then made the 0:29:22.720 --> 0:29:26.320 switch to running back for his last season and played 0:29:26.360 --> 0:29:28.960 really well earned himself a Day three draft pick and 0:29:28.960 --> 0:29:31.280 now a starting role in the NFL. Since they have 0:29:31.360 --> 0:29:33.960 turned to him, he's put together five hundred and fifty 0:29:33.960 --> 0:29:36.280 eight yards on the ground in seven games and it 0:29:36.320 --> 0:29:38.520 has shot the Giants all the way up from thirtieth 0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:40.440 to nineteenth, which is really tough to do in the 0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:42.920 middle of a season to make up that much ground. 0:29:43.840 --> 0:29:46.080 I think for a Cowboys rush defense that is still 0:29:46.160 --> 0:29:49.480 trying to figure out from a rush perspective, from a 0:29:49.520 --> 0:29:52.600 rushing perspective, this could be. This could be a game 0:29:52.600 --> 0:29:55.000 where Tracy breaks a couple and if he's able to 0:29:55.000 --> 0:29:57.960 sustain drives, make life a little bit easier for Tommy DeVito. 0:29:58.280 --> 0:29:59.640 This offense can score points. 0:30:00.200 --> 0:30:02.479 The thing that it's interesting and you mentioned about Tracy, 0:30:02.520 --> 0:30:05.080 and I think the most positive thing about him is, 0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:06.720 you know, you look at the yards per carry and 0:30:06.720 --> 0:30:09.920 he's averaged almost five yards of carry. But go watch 0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:13.160 him run against when they play like the loaded box, 0:30:13.240 --> 0:30:15.080 they have eight guys in the box. This guy averages 0:30:15.400 --> 0:30:18.400 over four yards of carry against that and like he's 0:30:18.440 --> 0:30:22.560 got ten uh, He's got five of his five runs 0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:25.600 of ten yards or plus against those stack boxes. I 0:30:25.640 --> 0:30:28.160 was like, Okay, how's this guy gonna play? You know, 0:30:28.160 --> 0:30:30.560 if Dallas tries to kind of just stop the running game, 0:30:30.600 --> 0:30:34.560 and so he still gets he still has successful rushes 0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:38.040 against eight or more in the box, and he's also 0:30:38.160 --> 0:30:41.240 had some you know, five of those runs have been 0:30:41.360 --> 0:30:44.040 with you know, with ten yards or more with a 0:30:44.040 --> 0:30:46.880 lot of people down in the box. He he catches 0:30:46.920 --> 0:30:49.600 the ball well too, because the former you know, the 0:30:49.600 --> 0:30:52.800 former receiver and stuff like that. But yeah, this is 0:30:53.160 --> 0:30:55.680 I think this offensive line. This is why I think 0:30:55.680 --> 0:30:57.520 where you and I had to disconnect here on this. 0:30:58.160 --> 0:30:59.240 I think it's a mess. 0:30:59.360 --> 0:31:00.000 It is a mess. 0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:03.120 I think I think it's a mess. And and I 0:31:03.200 --> 0:31:06.600 and I and and there's things. They're a big offensive 0:31:06.640 --> 0:31:09.440 line with the exception that that really at center. And 0:31:09.480 --> 0:31:12.240 I don't think they moved particularly well. And I think 0:31:12.280 --> 0:31:15.040 the one thing Dallas could really take advantage of them 0:31:15.560 --> 0:31:18.680 is with their quickness, and they're with their the way 0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:21.800 that they they run stunts, the way they bring blitzes. 0:31:22.160 --> 0:31:24.320 You know, you could go back and watch these guys play, 0:31:24.440 --> 0:31:27.760 and the more that teams really blitz them and they don't. 0:31:27.800 --> 0:31:31.320 They just don't pick. They don't sort out twists very well, 0:31:31.600 --> 0:31:35.240 and they don't sort out blitzes very well. And I 0:31:35.240 --> 0:31:38.880 if I'm Dallas, I'm I'm going to put as much pressure. 0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:42.600 Their centers really l liked he's a good center, he's athletic. 0:31:43.080 --> 0:31:46.240 John Michael Smith's is. I mean he I watched vedevea 0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:48.880 earlier that you just just couldn't just take him. It 0:31:48.960 --> 0:31:51.600 looked very similar to like Steg trying to block that, 0:31:51.760 --> 0:31:54.040 you know, block on that punt that he was just 0:31:54.200 --> 0:31:57.680 on skates and he just got crumpled and then you know, 0:31:57.760 --> 0:31:59.800 all of a sudden, now there's a sack right there. 0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:03.640 These guys just have a lot of problem with athletic 0:32:03.760 --> 0:32:08.040 rushers Philadelphia. You watched the Philadelphia game. You know, Philadelphia 0:32:08.120 --> 0:32:10.840 Dallas pretty much could you know, did a pretty decent 0:32:10.920 --> 0:32:14.480 job of handling those guys. These guys didn't handle Philly 0:32:14.520 --> 0:32:16.880 all that well. And and I that gives me some 0:32:17.080 --> 0:32:20.719 hope that some similar type of rushers, rushers and movement 0:32:20.840 --> 0:32:24.000 and movement that that they could they can make some 0:32:24.080 --> 0:32:26.040 hay against this this offensive line. 0:32:26.120 --> 0:32:27.680 I'd be attacking the interior here. 0:32:27.840 --> 0:32:28.040 Yeah. 0:32:28.080 --> 0:32:30.800 I love the double mug linebacker look from from Mike 0:32:30.920 --> 0:32:33.200 Zimmer and how he uses that with Demarvey and Overshown 0:32:33.200 --> 0:32:35.840 and some other guys to send some you know, free 0:32:35.880 --> 0:32:37.800 guys at the quarterback right. I think you could see 0:32:37.840 --> 0:32:40.280 something similar here. But it's also an opportunity for a 0:32:40.320 --> 0:32:43.960 guy like Ohso di Uzua. Again, I'd be attacking their interior, 0:32:43.960 --> 0:32:46.640 the right guard Greg Van Roten. He wrote a guy, yeah, 0:32:46.840 --> 0:32:49.680 you gave up two sacks last week, so that that 0:32:49.720 --> 0:32:52.160 would be the matchup for Odgiezula that I would I 0:32:52.160 --> 0:32:55.360 would see as a potential for the Giants offense to crumple. 0:32:55.440 --> 0:32:58.240 By the way, Scott word because I asked about they, 0:32:58.360 --> 0:33:00.479 you know, I asked about Kendricks and they said, hey, 0:33:00.520 --> 0:33:03.240 they got forty eight hours. There's some concern there, but 0:33:03.680 --> 0:33:05.760 they got forty eight hours to work with here, so 0:33:05.800 --> 0:33:06.960 they're going to see how that goes. 0:33:07.000 --> 0:33:09.760 But tough man veterans on a short term round like that, 0:33:09.840 --> 0:33:12.280 it's tough. It's really tough. All right, let's take our 0:33:12.400 --> 0:33:13.640 final break. When we come back. 0:33:13.920 --> 0:33:15.200 I want to dive a little bit more into Mike 0:33:15.240 --> 0:33:17.440 Zimmer's defense that's gotten a lot better here of the 0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:20.600 last couple weeks, and how they could potentially match up here, 0:33:20.600 --> 0:33:23.800 particularly against the run, where they've had some success here 0:33:23.840 --> 0:33:27.160 recently against the lead receivers and lead running backs. 0:33:27.160 --> 0:33:27.720 That they face. 0:33:28.120 --> 0:33:30.560 They have not had success necessarily against some of the 0:33:30.640 --> 0:33:32.680 quarterbacks that run like Jade and Daniels. We'll talk about 0:33:32.720 --> 0:33:34.480 that when we come back.

At the start, the segment brought to 0:36:17.800 --> 0:36:20.919 you by blockchain dot Com. All right, let's talk about 0:36:20.920 --> 0:36:23.640 Mike Zimmer's defense. I heard you guys talking in that 0:36:23.719 --> 0:36:28.120 last segment about this offense and being a little bit 0:36:28.160 --> 0:36:30.120 concerned about different things. One of the things that gives 0:36:30.160 --> 0:36:33.960 me hope that that desperation from the Giants won't manifest 0:36:34.000 --> 0:36:35.879 itself in this game is the fact that I think 0:36:35.920 --> 0:36:39.320 Mike Zimmer's defense has played so well and it's seeming 0:36:39.320 --> 0:36:41.600 to get better. They're starting to figure it out. And 0:36:41.640 --> 0:36:44.920 that defense is really predicated on confusion of the quarterback, 0:36:44.920 --> 0:36:47.719 and I think for young quarterbacks and inexperienced quarterbacks, I 0:36:47.719 --> 0:36:50.279 think that's even more important. So I think it's going 0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:51.880 to be a tough day for de Vido just from 0:36:51.920 --> 0:36:54.880 the standpoint of having to figure out what's happening, who's coming, 0:36:54.920 --> 0:36:58.080 who's not, when Mike gets into those kinds of formations 0:36:58.080 --> 0:36:59.840 and starts looking like he's going to bring a lot 0:36:59.880 --> 0:37:02.279 of guys and then backing guys out. But that all 0:37:02.320 --> 0:37:06.120 being said, let's talk about the matchup specifically against his defense. 0:37:06.160 --> 0:37:08.600 I want to start with the run defense. They held 0:37:08.880 --> 0:37:11.239 Robinson and Neck with to seventeen carries for fifty seven 0:37:11.320 --> 0:37:14.120 yards last week, a three point four average, but they 0:37:14.120 --> 0:37:16.520 did allow Jayden Daniels to hit him for seven carries 0:37:16.560 --> 0:37:18.759 for seventy four yards to ten point six average and 0:37:18.800 --> 0:37:22.439 a touchdown. Where did you see from what you watched 0:37:22.480 --> 0:37:24.799 last week? Where did you see them do well? Where 0:37:24.800 --> 0:37:26.840 did you see them struggle when it comes to run defense. 0:37:27.200 --> 0:37:29.120 I just felt like all hell broke loose with jayde 0:37:29.120 --> 0:37:31.480 and Daniels. In the final five minutes, he had that 0:37:31.520 --> 0:37:34.080 big I think it was twenty seven yard carry where 0:37:34.080 --> 0:37:36.560 he kind of just zig zagged around the field. He 0:37:36.600 --> 0:37:39.680 found some consistency on those three drives that they were 0:37:39.719 --> 0:37:41.600 able to put together where he really started to stack 0:37:41.640 --> 0:37:44.080 those yards. But up until that point, I felt like 0:37:44.080 --> 0:37:46.600 they did a really good job of containing him. They 0:37:46.600 --> 0:37:49.319 were forcing him to the sideline. Jade Daniels was not 0:37:49.360 --> 0:37:50.960 trying to get hit, which was much different than his 0:37:51.080 --> 0:37:54.560 LSU days and George getting hit there. He definitely enjoyed 0:37:54.560 --> 0:37:57.600 getting hit, but they were leading him to the sideline, 0:37:57.760 --> 0:38:00.000 escorting him out. And then in those final five minutes, 0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:01.480 it's it just got a little wild. I think you 0:38:01.520 --> 0:38:05.320 saw a little bit of desperation from Washington and Daniels 0:38:05.320 --> 0:38:07.600 started to use the whole field a little bit more. 0:38:07.640 --> 0:38:12.399 But I think from a mobile quarterback perspective, I think 0:38:12.440 --> 0:38:15.000 overall the Cowboys still do have issues there because when 0:38:15.000 --> 0:38:18.160 you have a mobile quarterback who is trying to, you know, 0:38:18.200 --> 0:38:19.920 trying to make it a little bit more difficult than 0:38:20.000 --> 0:38:22.400 just being escorted out of bounds, then those guys can 0:38:22.600 --> 0:38:24.960 can have some success. It's Tommy to veto that guy, 0:38:25.000 --> 0:38:28.279 I don't think necessarily, but him being a young quarterback. 0:38:28.480 --> 0:38:30.279 I think there are some ways that Mike Zimmer can 0:38:30.320 --> 0:38:32.200 take advantage of that, because not only you look at 0:38:32.200 --> 0:38:34.239 the rookie and Jane and Daniels, you look a couple 0:38:34.280 --> 0:38:36.320 of weeks ago, second year guy and c J. Stroud. 0:38:36.480 --> 0:38:39.319 He had some issues identifying pre snap Blitzer. He has 0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:43.680 some issues pre snap identifying Blitz's. Mike Zimmer did a 0:38:43.719 --> 0:38:45.279 lot of things with him post snap as well that 0:38:45.320 --> 0:38:47.560 cost some issues. And also Stroud just didn't have his 0:38:47.600 --> 0:38:49.399 best day. Granted it ended up in a thirty four 0:38:49.440 --> 0:38:52.839 to ten win or whatever it was, but he has 0:38:52.880 --> 0:38:56.399 success against young quarterbacks because it's a lot to take 0:38:56.480 --> 0:38:59.200 in and especially in a short week, it's not a 0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:02.000 lot to prepare for. So I agree with you. I 0:39:02.040 --> 0:39:05.160 think that this defense can have success against the de Vito. 0:39:05.400 --> 0:39:07.359 That's why I think they're gonna lean on this run 0:39:07.400 --> 0:39:10.160 game early and often, and I think they're gonna find 0:39:10.200 --> 0:39:10.960 some success with it. 0:39:12.200 --> 0:39:14.279 I was gonna say, I was gonna just add like, 0:39:15.719 --> 0:39:20.680 I think the way they played last week is just 0:39:20.840 --> 0:39:26.040 it's creating momentum for this Cowboys defense. And typically I 0:39:26.040 --> 0:39:28.960 would be like, ah, doesn't matter the amount of the 0:39:29.000 --> 0:39:32.720 experience or inexperience that a quarterback has. The Cowboys always 0:39:32.760 --> 0:39:36.719 struggle with even younger players when they can run and 0:39:36.760 --> 0:39:38.319 get out. But this is a game that I just 0:39:38.440 --> 0:39:42.080 I feel like it's favoring the Cowboys a lot more 0:39:42.200 --> 0:39:45.080 because of the way that the defense is playing in general. 0:39:45.400 --> 0:39:49.319 And then on top of that, this doesn't deal with 0:39:49.360 --> 0:39:56.120 the quarterback pressure, but remembering they're on bland him coming 0:39:56.160 --> 0:39:59.319 back for another game, remembering what happened last year. Last 0:39:59.400 --> 0:40:01.120 year thinks given was the moment. 0:40:00.880 --> 0:40:02.040 Where he broke that wrecker. 0:40:02.680 --> 0:40:05.919 So I just have a feeling that somehow they're gonna 0:40:05.920 --> 0:40:08.839 be able to not only create pressure, but also start 0:40:08.880 --> 0:40:13.040 creating those turnovers again. And we see that those coming 0:40:13.080 --> 0:40:16.520 bunches typically and this is a big opportunity. You guys 0:40:16.520 --> 0:40:19.680 talk about the offensive line, but I'm like the defensive 0:40:19.680 --> 0:40:21.759 line for the Cowboys is also getting better with those 0:40:21.760 --> 0:40:22.439 pressures too. 0:40:22.600 --> 0:40:27.200 They are. They are. And you know, the Giants front 0:40:27.239 --> 0:40:29.640 office did you a favor by getting rid of Daniel Jones, 0:40:30.000 --> 0:40:32.360 because if Daniel Jones is playing quarterback here, now you 0:40:32.400 --> 0:40:35.560 have a legitimate run option at quarterback. You have a 0:40:35.560 --> 0:40:37.640 guy that will pull it and run and is not 0:40:37.719 --> 0:40:39.960 afraid to try and run into people and get first 0:40:39.960 --> 0:40:42.520 downs and stuff like that. I don't think Tommy Devido 0:40:42.600 --> 0:40:44.920 is going to be that way. Tier Tracy is a 0:40:44.920 --> 0:40:47.200 good back. I mean he is, you know he is. 0:40:47.719 --> 0:40:50.000 Dallas is going to have to find a way to 0:40:50.080 --> 0:40:53.240 win up front. You know. They cannot let a big 0:40:53.440 --> 0:40:57.000 Giants offensive line lean on them in this football game 0:40:57.080 --> 0:41:00.640 and then have Tracy, you know, just carrying the you know, 0:41:00.840 --> 0:41:03.399 and every time you look up it's second and five, 0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:07.479 you know, and he's capable of playing that way. So yeah, 0:41:07.760 --> 0:41:11.360 they need to be well aware of how talented this 0:41:11.520 --> 0:41:13.920 back really really is and be able to win this 0:41:14.000 --> 0:41:16.760 game up front against this big, big offensive line. 0:41:16.840 --> 0:41:19.440 Would you say you're more concerned about the Giants passing 0:41:19.440 --> 0:41:22.839 attack or their rushing attack based on what Dallas has 0:41:22.960 --> 0:41:25.960 done well so far in the last couple of games. 0:41:26.040 --> 0:41:27.600 Let's just put it to the last few games when 0:41:27.600 --> 0:41:28.760 They've played much. 0:41:28.600 --> 0:41:31.880 Better a rushing attack for sure. Still, in the last 0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:33.960 three games they are at the bottom five in the 0:41:34.040 --> 0:41:36.439 NFL and rushing yards allowed. He's one hundred and fifty 0:41:36.440 --> 0:41:38.319 seven point seven they've given up in the last three 0:41:38.320 --> 0:41:41.600 games per game. I'm more scared of this rushing attack. 0:41:41.680 --> 0:41:44.680 Yeah, the rushing is a problem again. Tommy DeVito throwing 0:41:44.719 --> 0:41:47.719 the football, Elik Neighbors could very well be targeted a 0:41:47.760 --> 0:41:49.600 ton in this game just because of what you think 0:41:49.680 --> 0:41:51.480 is going to happen. You know, there's a team kind 0:41:51.480 --> 0:41:54.520 of going nowhere, and let's see if we can get 0:41:54.600 --> 0:41:57.439 him going. I don't know if Tommy DeVito can beat 0:41:57.480 --> 0:41:59.680 you throwing the football, but I know Tyrone Tracy just 0:41:59.760 --> 0:42:03.279 run and the ball consistently could be a path for 0:42:03.360 --> 0:42:04.160 victory for them. 0:42:04.880 --> 0:42:07.600 When you look at a guy like Marshawn Neelan and 0:42:07.600 --> 0:42:09.560 what he did last week, what was your assessment of 0:42:09.600 --> 0:42:10.840 him coming back from. 0:42:10.680 --> 0:42:13.200 Injury limited snaps. I don't think he ever really found 0:42:13.200 --> 0:42:16.160 a rhythm as a result. I think this was a 0:42:16.200 --> 0:42:18.280 game where he was on a very strict pitch count. 0:42:18.840 --> 0:42:20.560 From what I was told, he actually didn't even reach 0:42:20.600 --> 0:42:22.320 that pitch count once things got kind of out of 0:42:22.360 --> 0:42:25.239 hand or crazy late. They didn't want him in that 0:42:25.320 --> 0:42:28.719 type of situation, So I think he just needs to 0:42:28.880 --> 0:42:31.000 continue stacking reps. I'm not really going to take that 0:42:31.040 --> 0:42:35.200 one game as an evaluation for Neilan personally, but as 0:42:35.200 --> 0:42:37.720 he starts to get more snaps, I'm definitely keeping an eye. 0:42:37.560 --> 0:42:39.160 On the times he got to play. There was a 0:42:39.200 --> 0:42:41.000 burst there and you could kind of see when the 0:42:41.000 --> 0:42:44.520 ball when those times when Daniels was running to the edge, 0:42:44.560 --> 0:42:47.440 you could see him chasing from the backside and stuff. 0:42:47.480 --> 0:42:51.400 So yeah, absolutely, yeah, this game would he kind of 0:42:51.400 --> 0:42:54.319 got his feet wet last week and then now maybe 0:42:54.360 --> 0:42:56.120 an opportunity to be a little bit better and show 0:42:56.160 --> 0:42:57.959 up a little bit more in some of the scheme 0:42:58.000 --> 0:43:01.440 stuff they wanted to do. What about Mozzie Smith Massie 0:43:01.480 --> 0:43:03.640 I thought played pretty well at Mai. Mazzi is one 0:43:03.640 --> 0:43:05.520 of those guys we figured it out. Mozzi is a 0:43:05.640 --> 0:43:09.800 divisional player. Like when it's the Giants, the Commanders, the Eagles, 0:43:09.800 --> 0:43:11.520 that's kind of Mazzi's best games. 0:43:11.719 --> 0:43:13.439 We've got a big Massi fan over here too. 0:43:13.520 --> 0:43:20.760 Yeah, maybe not, but I think. 0:43:22.120 --> 0:43:27.680 So you go Cowboys okay, by Diego. 0:43:27.320 --> 0:43:30.719 By Diego, But yeah, you know, I felt like that, 0:43:31.080 --> 0:43:32.520 you know, the first play of the game, and then 0:43:32.520 --> 0:43:35.160 there were some other snaps. You know, if John Michael 0:43:35.200 --> 0:43:37.840 Smith's the center for the Giants is going to play small, 0:43:38.280 --> 0:43:41.719 play light, sure, you know, take advantage of that, you know, 0:43:41.760 --> 0:43:44.439 and Mozzi showed some nice power I thought in this game. 0:43:44.480 --> 0:43:47.479 Divisional game has always seemed to be his his cup 0:43:47.480 --> 0:43:47.799 of tea. 0:43:47.880 --> 0:43:50.440 Yeah, all right, I appreciate you guys, Jonas. We'll be 0:43:50.440 --> 0:43:50.880 back tomorrow. 0:43:50.920 --> 0:43:55.160 We're gonna get into the Giants defense versus the Cowboys offense. 0:43:55.200 --> 0:43:57.200 Will also kind of wrap this thing up for you, 0:43:57.239 --> 0:43:59.000 tell you what we think is going to happen on Thursday. 0:43:59.000 --> 0:43:59.759 It's a short week. 0:44:00.239 --> 0:44:02.480 We appreciate you guys to joining us for Nick Harris 0:44:02.480 --> 0:44:04.320 Brian brought us in now regard to see I'm Derek Eagleton. 0:44:04.320 --> 0:44:06.160 This has been The Break live on Dallas Cowboys dot 0:44:06.200 --> 0:44:07.160 Com Radio. 0:44:08.280 --> 0:44:11.279 This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and 0:44:11.440 --> 0:44:14.360 the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
