17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,640

18
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: nine seven is the number. Well, we'd love to hear

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: from you guys. So everybody doing today, I'm being I

20
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: was waiting, I'm so good. I was waiting to see

21
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: what everybody else said. But I'm why me, I'm great, okay,

22
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: but I just want to I don't know. I didn't

23
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: want to speak for everybody else. You did have to,

24
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: You could have spoken for yourself, but I didn't want

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: to jump in in front of everybody else. My perception

26
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: is that everybody seems to be in a good mood today.

27
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, you're in a good mood today. Yeah,

28
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: all right, good good. This is gonna be a spicy show. Then.

29
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: I like it when you're in a good mood. Nick,

30
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: you're good, good, fair, all right, let's jump in. Let's

31
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: talk first about injuries. Thank you for asking. Yes, I'm good.

32
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: I'm very good today. All right, so let's talk about injuries. First.

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: We got three guys that did not practice You back

34
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: Martin's back. Oh. I was just about to mention his

35
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: name as I did not practice yesterday. Is he healthy? No?

36
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: Would you sit him? Hasn't been healthy. He hasn't been

37
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: healthy all year. I know, but I'm no, I wouldn't

38
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: sit him. You're like, we gotta go all in, the

39
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: best player on this team, tough m effort, he's ready

40
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: to go. Wow, Okay. I mean, well, I scratch that

41
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: last statement. I don't know if he's ready to go.

42
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: It's Thursday. It's very encouraging that he's back to practice. Um,

43
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: but we'll see. But I mean, he's he's a tough

44
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: son of a gun. He's a great player. I think

45
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: that if their backs had truly been against the wall

46
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 1: against Indy, he probably could have gutted through that too.

47
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: It's just a it's an assumption on my part, but

48
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: just knowing the type of guy he is, I think

49
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: he could have uh and I definitely think he can

50
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: get through it this week. So there's no opinion. I

51
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: guess on this panel that if he's not and I

52
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: don't even say one hundred percent, if he's still hurt,

53
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: that you would sit him this week because you're thinking

54
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: of the big picture and the playoffs. Big picture starts

55
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: to look kind of iffy. If I'm gonna win this game,

56
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: this is the playoff, I'm not trying to go to

57
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: the meadowlands. I think that's a bad idea. Yeah, yeah,

58
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: I think I think you go win this game. You

59
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: get him out there or play, and let's win this

60
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: game and then set him for the Giants. Game you

61
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: need to or you probably would, you'd set a few

62
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: people for that game. And you gotta win this one.

63
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: This is the one to win. This is the most

64
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: winnable game on your schedule right now. So outside of that,

65
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys injury report looks actually pretty good. The only

66
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: other guys that did not practice yesterday and David Irving

67
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: Jeff Swain, which we expected, we don't expect that they'll

68
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: be back this week, so you can pretty much just

69
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: kind of write those guys off. But there were a

70
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: couple guys that were limited. Tavon Austin limited with the

71
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: growing injury, Colby's foot, Sean Lee still with the hammy

72
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: even though he played last week, and then Xavier Suafilo

73
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: was limited with the eye injury. How we what are

74
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: we hearing about those guys? Any of those guys looking like,

75
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: specifically for Tavon Austin, Xavier Suafilo because Tavion still hasn't

76
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: come back yet, and and for Suafilo that injury is

77
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: just so gruesome. You just don't know if he's gonna

78
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: be able to play. But what are you guys hearing? Uh?

79
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: Xavier said yesterday that he in he's hopeful he can play,

80
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: and he intends to and he's feeling a lot better.

81
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: You know, he was rocking the tom Ford sunglasses keep

82
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: the light out of his eye, probably keep people from

83
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: having a look at it too, kind of probably kind

84
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: of gnarly looking, but he's out there. I yeah, I

85
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: feel good about him being available. And Tavon, you don't

86
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: want to read too much into it, but he was

87
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: part of the kind of pre practice walk through that

88
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: they do today where they kind of they go through

89
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: some of the stuff they're gonna work on on air

90
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: instead of against the defense, and he was he was

91
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: part of that. So and usually if you the expectation

92
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: is that that's preparation for game like, that's game prep, right,

93
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: which would be a positive sign, right. So, and I

94
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: think they they're excited about getting him back for a

95
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: punt return. I mean, Basiley, he's not giving you anything

96
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: really there other than the guy that catches it. So

97
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: I think they they're excited about having him back. I

98
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: don't know about kickoff returns, but they're always kick it

99
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: over their head anyway. So yeah, but he's your gadget player.

100
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: That's at least the hope you're able to do a

101
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: lot of different. Yeah, I think much much like Sean

102
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: Lee only played seven snaps. I you know, if let's

103
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: say Tavon plays, I bet it would be They're not

104
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: just gonna open every everything up with him, not that

105
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: they really ever were, but I think he would mainly

106
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: be your return man to start and a very limited

107
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: offensive role would be my guest. But yeah, I feel

108
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: good about him playing. I was just gonna make a

109
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: comment about Xavier for those who don't really know. Um.

110
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: He basically told me that it looks It looked like

111
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: when a fighter gets punched writing the eye and then

112
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: he gets super swollen too, where your eyes literally shut.

113
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: So he said, the swollen it's going down. He's putting

114
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: in drops throughout the day. And he didn't really show me,

115
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: but I saw it from the side. It did seem

116
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: a little less swollen, but all of it is still purple,

117
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: like a whole black eye, all the whole area. Yeah. Yeah,

118
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: if you go watch that, if you go watch the

119
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: video of him, Yes, you know, he did a media

120
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: interview and there's a video. He wore his sunglasses in

121
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: the interview, which is great, but he's not the only

122
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: one to wear sunglasses in the house. Yeah, no, I know.

123
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: I was like, well, Jalen does that every week, so right,

124
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: but underneath you can see it's like purple and gray,

125
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: just all yeah, like can you see it outside of

126
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: the Gnarly is a great word for it, Like, yeah,

127
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: can I get illegal hands to the face. I mean,

128
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: if this is going on, what if it was Lyell

129
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: that did it, You're gonna flag your own teammate? Was

130
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: it that? Xavier said he didn't know for sure, but

131
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: that's kind of the word coming from everybody. It was

132
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: that Lyell was the guy. Xavier said he didn't know

133
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: for sure, but because I did go back and look

134
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: at it, and it does look like the Colts guy

135
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: has got his hands like right there, so I mean

136
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: he's got his hand on his face. Yeah, but I

137
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: mean it would have been a nice penalty. I mean,

138
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: if if you're gonna have you lose your regard for

139
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: the game on fourth down and the guy fumbles, it

140
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: would have been a nice penalty to have first and

141
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: goal first out of it. Might gotta feel goal maybe

142
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: at the half yard line, I don't know, some goal.

143
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if they score out of that. With

144
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: Adam Redman coming into the game right off the bat

145
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: got three shots, so four shots probably three Yeah, No,

146
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: I just I think that it would just one of

147
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: those plays where you know, you talk about a fighter,

148
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, it happens every whether they get punched on

149
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: fifty times or like in Rocky, like a thousand times,

150
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: and that's what happens. One punch, one finger to the

151
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: eye inadvertently. Yeah, but that's like I wasn't there. I

152
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: don't know, but I think he had somebody's digit, like

153
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: a couple knuckles deep in his eye. Said that a

154
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: couple of times. I don't need to. I'm just saying like,

155
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: this ain't like he got you know, he didn't poke

156
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: himself while he was putting his contact right and this

157
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: thing was like all the way in there. Yeah, it's gross.

158
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: It's real gross. Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry, Let's move on,

159
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: all right, So let's go ahead and get into the

160
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay offense. Dave, give us your scoutter report on

161
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: this Tampa Bay offense that right now is ranked third

162
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Big plays good and bad. That's I mean, well, no,

163
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: for you and for them, for real, this is I mean,

164
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: it's backyard football. You got a cannon armed quarterback and

165
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: some really scary wide receivers, especially if DeShawn Jackson comes

166
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: back this week, which it's trending that that will happen.

167
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: We'll see. But Mike Mike Evans is averaging eighteen yards

168
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: per catch, which as a as a thirteen hundred yard receiver,

169
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: that's hard to do. Like when you're talking about a

170
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: high volume of catches, that's hard to do. DeShawn Jackson's

171
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: been missing with a broken thumb for a decent chunk

172
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: of the season. Nineteen yards per catch. We knew that

173
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: about him, but he's he's still pretty scary even I

174
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: mean what this is like year twelve for him or

175
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: something like that, third and total offense first, and passing

176
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: offense twenty eighth and rushing only twenty five points per game,

177
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: which that's the other thing. They just they just love

178
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: to give the ball away, which to Nick's point from yesterday,

179
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: that's why Jameis Winson has been the quarterback all year.

180
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: He's obviously suspended to start. Ryan Fitzpatrick comes in, plays great.

181
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: Jamis comes back. They've been swapping him him in and out.

182
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 1: Thirty two total giveaways this year. They are minus sixteen

183
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: in turnover differential. Jamis has thirteen interceptions and he's missed

184
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: like five starts. So thirteen interceptions in nine or ten games,

185
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: but he's missed how many starts? Well, he got benched

186
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: for two and then missed another two. Yeah, but he

187
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: started the season, didn't He start a season with four

188
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: was it four? Three nuts? So he's missed like five games.

189
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: I was just figuring out. I didn't know if you

190
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: factored that in the games the beginning of the season

191
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: for the suspension. Um. Yeah, thirteen picks in nine games,

192
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: give or take. Um, yeah, no, not great, yeah, um,

193
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: and that's why, Yeah, they benched him. He has he's

194
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: been back for a little while. He's been back since

195
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: like October twenty eighth, I think, so he's been in there. Um. So,

196
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's feast and famine with these guys. Um.

197
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: They are better at running the ball than I. You know,

198
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to fall into the same trap two

199
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: weeks in a row. Like, you know, the Colts were

200
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: supposedly terrible at running the ball. The stats say they're

201
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: not great. They ran it twenty one times for eighty

202
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: five yards against Baltimore last week. Peyton Barber was averaging

203
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: five yards per carry, So I don't want to say

204
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: that they can't do it too good. Defense they did

205
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: that again, yeah, exactly, but they're not great at it

206
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: and pay I mean, I want to say it for

207
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: the second week in a row either. Peyton Barber is

208
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: not the scariest running back that they're going to play

209
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: this year, but neither was Marlon Mack. So something to watch.

210
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: I'll be curious to see how they run, defense rebounds.

211
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: I don't think this offensive line is as good as

212
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: the Colts. They've given up thirty seven sacks this year. Yeah,

213
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: I don't know any any questions. Yeah, I do have

214
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: one question. You talked about their big playability. I can't recall,

215
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: but has there been a game this season where the

216
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys have particularly been susceptible to big plays? Like Seattle

217
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: just gotten beat up like that? Seattle was early on.

218
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: They didn't have they didn't have Xavier Woods at the time,

219
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: but they gave up a fifty two yard touchdown to

220
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett and a thirty something yard or too um

221
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: one of their Jeron Brown I think. And then Detroit

222
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: the week after that, Golden Tate tortured him twice. So

223
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: it was a while early in the year. A couple

224
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: of times, I mean, and Hopkins didn't have big play,

225
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: like down the field. It was just like leaving through everybody.

226
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: But I think in the last few weeks they've sort

227
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: of I mean, really last seven weeks. If they didn't

228
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: give a big play this last game, But it wasn't

229
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: to me. I didn't think of that as a problem

230
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: for them. They couldn't stop the run. That was the issue.

231
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: And so I know they've had moments and they've given

232
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: up big plays. I didn't recall them that being like

233
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: the theme of the game where they just could not

234
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: they were just getting beat up downfield. They have another

235
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: thousand yard receiver, they have Godwin. Does he have a thought?

236
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: I don't think he has a thousand yards? He shocking him?

237
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: And they well they have Adam Humphries too, which I

238
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: mean Cole Beasley two point zer. Hello, he's the he's

239
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: the same guy, I mean, carbon copy almost slot receiver.

240
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: Maybe cheaper. Well, I guess we'll see. Was like, was

241
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: he doing Twitter? He is he rap? He does not rap? No,

242
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: what does he do on Twitter? He's got got Godwin's

243
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,479
Speaker 1: got a Godwin's got about seven hundred yards five touchdowns,

244
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: um inconsistent and just Godwin and and honestly Evans like Evans,

245
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: Evans can He'll drop one on you from time to time.

246
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: Godwin definitely, I liked him a lot coming out of

247
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: Penn State. He's hid and miss and that's I would

248
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: rather play Chris Godwin than Deshaan Jackson. Just Deshan Jackson, Yeah,

249
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: kills these guys all the time, which I I fascinate.

250
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: If DeShawn Jackson does play, I would you know, you

251
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: would assume Byron Jones wants to match up with Mike

252
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: Evans as much as possible, which welcome to the Pro Bowl.

253
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: Have fun dealing with a tight end that can run

254
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: like a receiver basically. But then, well, what do you

255
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: do with Deshan Jackson? If you mean getting you gotta

256
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: pick your poison between those two guys, and I I

257
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: just Cheeto Woozier like once again, tough luck loser, Like

258
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: you're going to draw a tough assignment regardless because it

259
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: will be the guy that Byron isn't on. Yeah, and

260
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: that's the thing too, I don't know that this is

261
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: a leek. I necessarily say I want to travel, I

262
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: usually I think of traveling a guy when it's like him,

263
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: it's one receiver and then everybody else is just whatever.

264
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: I think this is a week where you've got a

265
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: couple different good players, So you stick with where people

266
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: where your guys are. You don't necessarily have to travel

267
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: just wherever they line up. You just cover the guy

268
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: that's in front of you, right, I agree. I mean,

269
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: and this team, they don't travel an extraordinary amount anyway,

270
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: But like I want Byron Jones on Evans as much

271
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: as possible because Byron is so physical and he's got

272
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: the athleticism to hang with a guy like that, which

273
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: if you're gonna get away with the amount of contact

274
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: that Byron prefers to play with, it would be against

275
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: a bigger receiver like this. So you got a blitz

276
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: Jamis because I mean, he's obviously not going nowhere. Yeah,

277
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: he's not going anywhere. But that's where the big plays

278
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 1: probably come in because he's like, all right, if I'm

279
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: getting you know, pressured, I'm gonna throw it up. I'll

280
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: throw it up to Evans. I like my chances there,

281
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: or throw it deep to Jackson. That's where I bet

282
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: they get a lot of chunk plays and they probably

283
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: get a lot of you know, bad plays as well.

284
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: Jamis is just gonna heave it downfield more times in

285
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: this game than Dak probably has all year. Seriously, like

286
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: I believe that, wait, Heath's gonna get two interceptions. This

287
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: would be This is the game where I mean, Jamis

288
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: has a ridiculous right there. It's got a ridiculous amount

289
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: of confidence in his arm, probably too much. Thirteen picks. Yeah,

290
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: Like this defense should be able to get a pick

291
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: or two in this game. And even I don't, you don't.

292
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: You don't even have to like break in front of

293
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: the ball, like bat it up and let somebody else whatever,

294
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: whatever it takes. But they need to force some takeaways

295
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: in this game, playing at home against the quarterback that

296
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: likes to give the ball away, and they're gonna be

297
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: throwing it a lot, So you can't you can't let

298
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: them embarrass you on the ground for lack of a

299
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: better word, because they shouldn't be able to dictate this

300
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: game with their running game. Obviously the Colts did that.

301
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: Like I said, I don't, you know, Ali Marpet's a

302
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: good player, Diamond Smith is a pretty good player. I

303
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: don't think this offensive line is as good as the

304
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: Colts was though, So yeah, all right, looks like our

351
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: rely on more than just stats and scouting reports when

352

358
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: It is the second segment of the Breaklock from the

359
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: s WBC Mortal Studios at the Star talking Cowboys Versus Buccaneers.

360
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,719
Speaker 1: Dave gave us is offensive scouting report on the Bucks,

361
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: and now they'll tell us a little bit about the defense.

362
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: Dave take away they're bad. They're bad, Derek Nick, your

363
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: stat was the best one. Tell everybody your stat from yesterday.

364
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: While I was looking at the red zone offense for

365
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and if you notice, the Cowboys have struggled

366
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: in the red zone with their offense. So I was like, yeah,

367
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: they have that. They're not very good. Actually they're thirty

368
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: first in the NFL. Yeah. Forty three attempts, nineteen touchdowns.

369
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: That's not's not good at all. Um. So I was like, oh, okay,

370
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: real quick. The guy was telling me stats and I

371
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: was like, wait, real quick, what are the Bucks on defense?

372
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: He's like, hum their last I was like, what, really

373
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: are they bad? He's like forty you know, fifty one

374
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: attempts that teams have gotten in there, they've scored a

375
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: touchdown forty times out and that's good teams. Bad teams

376
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: at ames field goals. So fifty one trips inside their

377
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: twenty and only three times that they've got a turnover

378
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: or turnover on downs or missed the field goal. I mean,

379
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: the Bucks are allowing a touchdown seventy eight percent of

380
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: the time when the opponent gets to their twenty. Cowboys

381
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: are scoring a touchdown forty four percent of the time

382
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: when they get to the opponent's twenty. That could fix

383
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: a lot of your problems. Problems. Yeah, buck break right now,

384
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: we're break. We're finally going up against an offense we

385
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: can stop. H that that right, I mean, that's that's

386
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: it's just called like that, Mickey drop. We've got perfect.

387
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: If you cannot win in the red zone against this team,

388
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: then you have some serious, major problems. And they do,

389
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: they do they have problems. Then it happens. That's that's

390
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: a I'm firing somebody. Okay. That's Amber speaks for the

391
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: fans because she's like, I don't know who's got to

392
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: get fired, but somebody's got to go. Somebody's going. It

393
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if Christmas, somebody's gotta go by next week.

394
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: That's the end of the rant that you had the

395
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: other day. You were just ranting and you didn't really

396
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: have an ending, like oh, she just let us know.

397
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: That's the ending. Somebody's getting fired. She just went straight.

398
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,959
Speaker 1: Think I would be the case. I would imagine they

399
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: could be successful here because obviously the Cowboys don't struggle

400
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: getting to that point to the twenty yard, and they

401
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: have the tools. They have the tools to do it,

402
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: and especially going up against this team that it's so

403
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: bad at that they should be able to. What are

404
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: they bad at though, just in general, like run, let's

405
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: let's talk about it. I mean, they're bad at everything.

406
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: They're giving up three hundred and eighty seventy yards per game,

407
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty nine passing yards, one twenty eight

408
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: rushing yards. That's all twenty seventh or worse. They're giving

409
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: up twenty nine points per game, which is thirtieth in

410
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: the league. But the funny thing is, like they do

411
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff similar to the Cowboys. I mean

412
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: that sounds dumb because the Cowboys are obviously good at

413
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But they've got sixteen takeaways, which is

414
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: just as many as the Cowboys. They've actually got more

415
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: sacks than the Cowboys. They've got thirty six. I was

416
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: surprised to hear this. I mean, Tampa Bay is just

417
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: a waste land in terms of like they're not covered

418
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: on a national level. You're not going to learn about

419
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: the Bucks by watching Sports Center. Um Jason Pierre Paul

420
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: has eleven and a half sacks. They've got some talent.

421
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: That's the interesting part about all it would not have guessed. Yeah,

422
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: the NFC East cast off defensive line. Here, Jason Pierre

423
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: Paul's got eleven and a half sacks. Bo Allen, you

424
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: remember him. He's starting at d tackle for these guys.

425
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: Gerald McCoy, first round pick. Gerald McCoy is probably the

426
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: new Joe Thomas in the sense of just like a

427
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: badass player who nobody thinks about because he's stuck in

428
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: a bad situation. Carl Nassip comes over from the Browns.

429
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: They claimed him off waivers at the end of the preseason.

430
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: He's got sorry, sorry, he's got six and a half sacks. Sorry.

431
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: Do you know how many the highest amount of sacks

432
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: they've gone in one single game the Buccaneers. Not off

433
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: the top of my head, no, because I'm just wondering

434
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: if if it's kind of well divided and they have

435
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: just one game, they got half their sacks, and I

436
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: would I would argue the fact that they've got I mean,

437
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: JPP would be leading this team in sacks. And then

438
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: they've got two guys in nasibin McCoy who are better

439
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 1: doing better than the Cowboys guys. I mean McCoy's got

440
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: six from the d tackle positions. So it's significant to

441
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: have three guys with pretty healthy sack numbers. I would

442
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: guess that it's pretty evenly distributed, but I do not

443
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: know that off the top of my head. I'm sorry,

444
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, so, I mean they do. They do a

445
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: lot of this stuff the same except and I mean

446
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: they got Lavante David, who we were talking about this

447
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: before the show. If I mean, Jalen Smith's not happy

448
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: about getting Snubb by the Pro Bowl, like Lavante David's

449
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: got one hundred and five tackles, four sacks, and a

450
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: couple recovered fumbles, Like he's a damn good player too.

451
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: It's linebackers can tally up stats, and there's only so

452
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: many spots to go around. Um I wonder mental toughness,

453
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: for lack of a better word, Like you see a

454
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: lot of similarities here, and then you see that they're

455
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: giving up a score seventy eight percent of time in

456
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: the red zone. Cowboys defense, for comparison, is fifty percent

457
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: twenty times. Only twenty times and forty trips have they

458
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: given up a touchdown. And then they forced at least

459
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: five or six turnovers and missed field goals and things

460
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: like that too. So faring far better. And I just wonder,

461
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: I wonder like the mental aspect of that. You know,

462
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: it's like, when things aren't going your way, can you

463
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: buckle down and not let it get the better of you?

464
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: Or is also part of that you're coaching the person

465
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: who's making the calls. Yeah, the things that they do

466
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: in the red zone can actually stop teams from scoreing

467
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: touchdowns a lot, at a higher rate than maybe somebody

468
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: who doesn't change those things or doesn't have the ability

469
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: to give put a team in the right position in

470
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 1: those situations. Yeah, this seems like a bend and break defense. Yeah,

471
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: like that they're bending all the way because fifty one trips.

472
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: There is a lot of trips in there, and then

473
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: and then they're breaking when they're in there, and it

474
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: sounds like they're sounds like this is what the Cowboys

475
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: would be but for the fact that they're able to

476
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: make stops in the red zone, and that's well, I

477
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't want to go that far, because

478
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: like the Cowboys are fifth in total defense. I mean,

479
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: they don't I know, they got gas, they don't, like

480
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: they don't let people in the red zone as frequently. Yeah, right,

481
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: one eleven fewer times were game fewer. Yeah, but I

482
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: hear level. I mean if you if if people are

483
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: getting to the twenty and then zipping down or so,

484
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: let's say you go to the red zone four times

485
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: in a game, that's eighty extra yards of offense per game.

486
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: I mean that stuff matters. So it really is. I mean,

487
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: you know, people don't want to hear ben but don't break.

488
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: But like in this day and age, it's so easy

489
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: to accumulate yards between the twenties. Like, it's all about

490
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: how you handle those scoring opportunities. And clearly the Bucks

491
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: are not good at it. The Cowboys are pretty good

492
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: at it. Yeah. Did you say that the Bucks have

493
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: sixteen turnovers, takeaways, takeaways? Yes? Did you also say that sixteen?

494
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: They're minus sixteen. So my math says that their offense

495
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: has turned the ball over thirty two times, twice as

496
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: many times as their defense has gotten takeaways thirty two giveaways.

497
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,959
Speaker 1: It's on it like it's like that Obervation Army. It's

498
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: I think it's it's easy to it's easy to make

499
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: the argument that turnover differentials like the most important stat

500
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: of football. It's one of them, and thirty two giveaways

501
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 1: on the year. I'm surprised their record is not worse, honestly. Yeah,

502
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: but that also made sell you how good their offense

503
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: really has been. As far as they're they're scary and

504
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna get yards in this game. Again, red zone

505
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: is what it comes down to. Um, I worry the

506
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: good stuff on this defense is like down the middle.

507
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: In my opinion, Gerald McCoy's a beast. They drafted Vita Vea,

508
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: who is definitely not living up to being a top

509
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: ten pick right now, but he is a highly athletic,

510
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: gigantic three hundred and fifty pound nose tackle could give

511
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: you problems on the interior of your defensive line. Maybe

512
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: for one has banged up as this one. Lavante David

513
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: uh is probably there's well he's he's one of their

514
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: better defenders. He's been one of the better linebackers in

515
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: the NFC for a while. And then um Brian's really

516
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: high on this kid, Jordan Whitehead. I remember, he's a

517
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 1: rookie safety out of pit He started as a fourth

518
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: round pick. Rookie. You know, he's not Earl Thomas, but

519
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: he's playing pretty well. So you've got good players all

520
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: down the middle of your defense. And for a team

521
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,719
Speaker 1: that likes to run the ball and doesn't like to

522
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: have pressure up the middle, and their quarterback doesn't like

523
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: to throw it over the middle of the field, those

524
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: things could all be problematic. So talk to me a

525
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: little bit about Gerald McCoy vitavea matching up against the

526
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 1: center and guards for this team. I mean, do I

527
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: need to explain it to you? I mean, did you

528
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: watch did you watch the Colts Gant? Well, that's when

529
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: I relieve that, Derek. No, I'm just asking. I'm asking

530
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: the question of do you think that that can be

531
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: a big enough problem where it really affects the Cowboys

532
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: ability to what they want to do? Because you can

533
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: talk about the run game, Cowboys aren't afraid to run

534
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: the ball on the outside too, so don't necessarily have

535
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 1: to run it up the middle in order to be productive.

536
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: My question is, can these defensive tackles wreck this game?

537
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: Are they that good based upon what you have? I'm

538
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: just going to say, because if they were that good,

539
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: they're not get letting forty touchdowns go inside the red zone.

540
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: That's where you buckle down. That's I mean that. No,

541
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think we're talking about a

542
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: guy that was a really good player a few years ago.

543
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: Oh McCoy, McCoy, I mean he's probably still up there,

544
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: um vita va. I mean he's probably got some ways

545
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: to go as a first round picks still. I mean,

546
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: I just don't think numbers will tell you they're not

547
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: wrecking anything right now. Like that doesn't mean that Adam

548
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: Redman is gonna push him off the ball or anything,

549
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: or anybody or just Looney or or Connor Williams or whatever.

550
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, this is definitely one of those games

551
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: where you don't look at it and you say they're

552
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: not that good on defense. We can rest Zack. No,

553
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: you need to play Zach. That's don't neutralize yourself. I

554
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: sure would, I sure would feel better about this game.

555
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: If Zach can play like that will make me feel

556
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 1: a lot better. DA can still feel you feel pretty good.

557
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: They can hold up against that defensive and that's yes,

558
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: so so although they're good, they're not so good to

559
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: where they should be able to consistently beat. If you've

560
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: got your guy, if it's justly beat you guys, you've

561
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: got your guys. And I agree with Nick on one instance,

562
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: but not the other, which I mean Gerald McCoy is

563
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: a badass player. He's on a bad defense. But you know,

564
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones loves to say like they pay their guys

565
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: too likes he's a really really good player. And yeah,

566
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: if he's going up against Adam Redman, he probably can

567
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: wreck this thing for you. So make me feel great. Well,

568
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: don't play your eighth guard. I mean I would, I

569
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: just Zach, please play, Zach, Please play the game, and

570
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: then it'll be okay, all right, let's go and take

571
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: our final break. We're gonna come back. We've got our guys.

572
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: Steve B. Cannon from Draft King's gonna join us talk

573
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of fantasy football. It's a championship for

574
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: those of us who are lucky enough to well skilled

575
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: enough to be in the championship. So we'll talk a

576
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: little bit about that and then we'll get some questions

577
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: from you guys. Give us a call. Eight eight eight

578
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: five five two two nine seven is our number again?

579
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: Eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven

580
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: will be right back. This is dub break. Well, the

581
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: player could look good on paper, the twenties out on

582
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: the field, that you really find out what he's made of.

583
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: That's why the Cowboys rely on more than just stats

584
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: and scouting reports when building their team. When picking a tractor,

585
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: it's why you should rely on more than just specs

586
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: and features. You've got to take it out and put

587
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: it to the test. The Cowboys did when they name

588
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:23,240

646
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: our guy, got our I got our guys. Steve Buchannon

647
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: from DraftKings Steve, what's up? How's it going with one? Good? Good?

00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: How you been very good? Very good? God to do

649
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: that good? Let's yes, we gotta jump on this and

650
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about championships. I of course have

651
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: won one championship and in another championship this weekend. So um,

652
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: for people like me, pat yourself on the back. Just

653
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: just wanted to throw that out there. But anyway, um,

654
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: just for people like me, give me, give me just

655
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: a couple of things. There are a couple of different

656
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: instances around the league where where players are are are

657
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: out or you're having to kind of fill in. Give me, ah,

658
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: I guess we can start first with a guy like

659
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: Jaylen Samuels and and Connor H. Connor Um James Connor.

660
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: James Connor, I'm sorry that every being out. Yeah, James

661
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: Connor being out. What do you think about a guy

662
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: like Jaylen Samuels. I know he had a big week

663
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: last week, but this week playing a really good New

664
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: Orleans defense, What would you do with a guy like that? Yeah,

665
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,719
Speaker 1: I mean this is not really a week to be

666
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: looking at those guys on the ground. I mean New

667
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: Orleans has how the star defense overall, about where they've

668
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: been strong is on the ground. And we've seen Samuels

669
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: in a couple of games now and yeah, that huge

670
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: game against the Ringold but that's like night and day

671
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: when you're going up against the Saints. Uh, they've just

672
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: been absolutely stifling to compose their running backs. I feel

673
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: like this is gonna be a bad spot. But I mean,

674
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: here was this is really a game where it's gonna

675
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: be on the on the shoulder of San Brothelisberger and

676
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: what he can do third the air and one of

677
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: the spots the Saints have been so poor against his

678
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: flower receivers and yeah, you know Juju spith Shuster jumps

679
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: right off there. So I feel like that's gonna be

680
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: the guys they're gonna have to rely on this spot.

681
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: It's just a really flew that matchup for their running

682
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: backs this week, Steve. For guys like you know that

683
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: are in the consolation game, maybe in the third third

684
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: place game. Um, look at the Bucks and Cowboys matchup.

685
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: I mean it seems like the Bucks. So we just

686
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: talked about their offense. They don't put up a lot

687
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: of points to this put up a lot of yards though.

688
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: Think those are guys that you want to look at. Yeah,

689
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: you know. And one thing too is that DeShawn Jackson

690
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: was talked to again today and that gives them that

691
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: deep spread they really they've been missing. And Chris Godwin's

692
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,879
Speaker 1: taking most of the snap over since jackson has been out.

693
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: But the thing with Jackson is he can just get

694
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: down field so quickly. You have just about eighteen point

695
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: eight yards perception while god was around twelve. So that

696
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: isn't that deep stress that they've been missing. And that's

697
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: something that I think that Winton can kind of rely

698
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 1: upon in this game. By mean, if there's a bounce

699
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: back spots for the Cowboys, I mean, this is definitely

700
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: the defense you want to look at. I mean, three

701
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: hundred eighty six total yards per game that they allow,

702
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: the fifth highest in the league. And then they've also

703
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: run over over one hundred and three rushing yards straight

704
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: It's five straight weeks. Now, that's when an area just

705
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: getting ripped. So you know, I feel like this is

706
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: a great spot for you know, for the Cowboys in

707
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: this spot. But I think Jackson will definitely help that often.

708
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: We had a question from a fan. He was asking

709
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: for his championship game. There were three running backs that

710
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: he listed, Gus Edwards, James White, Melvin Gordon. Obviously Melvin

711
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 1: Gordon coming back from the industry injury. I'm not even

712
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: sure what his status is right now, But what do

713
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: you think about those guys and where you would go

714
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: assuming first of all, that Gordon is not going to play,

715
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: because obviously if he's playing, he's I think the best

716
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: of these three, I would guess, Oh yeah, I mean absolutely,

717
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: And if you can get Gordon in your lineup, that's

718
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: obviously somebody you look at. But one of the best

719
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 1: run defenses in the game. I mean, it doesn't really

720
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 1: matter who they've been playing. I mean, they've really been

721
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: top dogs the type from the Titans when it comes

722
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: to defending the run. I'm a little inclined to kind

723
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: of go with White here, especial was gonna news that,

724
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, Josh Gordon's alonger with the team, stepping away

725
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: from the game of football because he's got the suspension incoming.

726
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna split those targets on somewhere. You know,

727
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: Chris Hoak is not really a guy you want to

728
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: rely upon, so the scould open up some opportunities for

729
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: James White, especially going with those defense that as I'm

730
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: strong against the past, we're not so strong on the ground.

731
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 1: So I'm a little inclined to go with him here.

732
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: Um post the news that Gordon is along with the team,

733
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: if you'd ask me yesterday, one wouldn't have been my

734
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: first choice. But I wos little more interesting now what's

735
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: the news there? I'm kind of curious about that. You

736
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,919
Speaker 1: talked about the Patriots. When you're you're putting values on

737
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: on guys. Are the Patriots the most frustrating team to

738
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: to try to assign point values too, because they've got

739
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: seventeen players over there and they all do a little bit.

740
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean Brady's the one going to do Yeah,

741
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 1: Brady's the one that's gonna you know, throw the ball around,

742
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: but you never know. They have like three backs and

743
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: five receivers and the tight end hasn't been that good.

744
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: And well, running back is the most maddening thing because

745
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 1: you know the guys, uh Sonny Michelle, they have James

746
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: White and then when it comes to the goal line,

747
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: you think it's rust Bertay, but no protection going to

748
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: be James Devlin because you know, what the hell why not.

749
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: It's the most nivating things in terms of fantasy purposes

750
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: to try to decipher. But uh, you know, at least

751
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: without Gordon, at least you can condense some of the

752
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: receiver targets a bit more this week. But yeah, they

753
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: just really it's such a craps you when you're trying

754
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: to figure out who to pair Tom Brady with because

755
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 1: it always seems like the game plan is different every

756
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: other week. But the loss of Gordon is gonna be

757
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be pretty yuh, it's gonna be

758
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: pretty tough on them. He was that guy that you know,

759
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 1: it seems like you could catch anything, and that deep

760
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 1: downfield threatening. It really don't have that anymore without Gordon.

761
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,760
Speaker 1: That's the receivers are pretty sin this year and Insid's

762
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: really going to make them tough down the stretch. As

763
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: a paid professional, how do you cope with the silliness

764
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: of this game? Like just and I'm asking because I'm

765
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: still I'm still butt hurt for lack of a better phrase,

766
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: about the way my season ended. And if you're not

767
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: in the championship game, you probably are right. You can

768
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 1: have you can have the best laid plan in the world,

769
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: and this game will just smash your heart into a

770
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 1: million pieces. So you know, like I said, you get

771
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: paid to do this. Obviously you know better than anybody else,

772
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: and you and still be wrong. And just how do

773
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: you cope with that? It's tough. I mean for somebody

774
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: that had Levion Bell and cream Hunt for the Brutal

775
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 1: for me, oh god, yeah and remote and yeah yeah,

776
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's just it's of a job.

777
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: But you know it's something more frustrating than that. You

778
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: know what, you get paid to do this, and you know,

779
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: come week eleven, I'm thinking on purpose, like a good draft.

780
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: That's nice year, Wow, got do what you gotta do. Hey, hey,

781
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: this is Steve Buchanan from Draft Kings. Then ahead, let

782
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: me get in there as a as a fantasy rookie

783
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: aspiring to beat a cocky person like Derek Kingleton in

784
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: the future, in the new future, someone that's just starting out,

785
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 1: what would be the best way to kind of keep

786
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: up with the whole NFL and all these players and

787
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: kind of figure out who to play and get all

788
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: that information from because as you know, I mean, I

789
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: can't even imagine keeping up with so many players and

790
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:04,959
Speaker 1: their status is, their injuries and all of that stuff. Well,

791
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: that's a perfect segue for a shameless plug. Yeah, here's

792
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: your layout. I walk on the DTA live app in it,

793
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: you know, especially for fantasy maybe if you're not playing

794
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 1: daily fantasy. You know, we have all these alerts and

795
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 1: pushes to your phone when things happen, when the injuries occur,

796
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: we get them out there as soon as possible, and

797
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: an analysis on how that affects the rest of the

798
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: rosters and stuff like that. So just having that available,

799
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: you know, all the information, it's just in one spot.

800
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: We post all the tweet updates for you. We have

801
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: our blurbs on who the roster and who did not.

802
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: So it's really useful to kind of get that all

803
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: in one place because you know, you're on the Twitter

804
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: here and then you just get lost in this massive information.

805
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: You know, ninety percent of it is useless, So we

806
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: try to get rid of the ninety percent that's useful,

807
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: that's useless, to try to get an internect good tent

808
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 1: effect there that you can use. So I definitely would

809
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: recommend that as available on our iPhone and Android. That

810
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: good feedback I just downloaded as we were talking. I

811
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: didn't even realize that you guys had that up there.

812
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: Sounds like I just helped you out, just helped me out,

813
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: and my league is now really mad because I'm already

814
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: winning and now I have an extra tour. It's gonna

815
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: help me. You can watch better. You can watch the

816
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: show The Sweat. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, you've been on that

817
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: I have. Yeah, that's why I know about it. You

00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: can watch you can watch the show. And hey, I

819
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: do know this. I was on for about waiting for

820
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: about ten minutes before my segment, and I was like

821
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: watching these guys talk about the NBA. It was the

822
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: most detailed stuff I've ever I mean talking about you know,

823
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: just just trends, and I could I didn't know anything

824
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: about this stuff in the NBA, so it is very

825
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: detailed stuff. All right, Steve, Yeah, we really appreciate sick.

826
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: I'm sorry what you say. Yeah, no doubt, definitely we

Speaker 1: Christmas and a happy Holidays, and we'll talk to you later.

830
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: All right, guys, thanks, take care. All all right, that

831
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: was Steve Buchannon with bath Ke talking fantasy football with us. Nick,

832
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: what is Layton Vandert? Connor Williams Like? What are they

833
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 1: this year? Rookies? Rookies? I like it, she says, rookie.

834
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: All right, let's jump back in. We got we have

835
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: a question from a fan horse in Atlanta. Uh, let's

836
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: go to him on the phone lines. What do we got, hey, guys,

837
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: how you doing? Hey? I agree with Amber Um. I

838
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: believe that they can't really get it in the end zone.

839
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: Somebody's got to go, and I believe that should be

840
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 1: the office of coordinator. Now, I don't agree with Nick.

841
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 1: I don't think Dak should go or maybe I don't know.

842
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,720
Speaker 1: I didn't say that. I didn't say that question came up, Okay,

843
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: I didn't say should well you said the one of

844
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: the office coordinator n QB, somebody's got to go or

845
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: something like that. So I don't know, but we know

846
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: what it's like to have a bad quarterback, and there's

847
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: no way I would trade a quarterback in three seasons

848
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: that has just as many wins as Tom Brady. That

849
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 1: would be ludicrous. I would think that, Yeah, that's not

850
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: the way to go. Who you arguing against? Like who

851
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: who would you argue against? Like who who says that

852
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: that you should trade away Dak Prescott? Oh No, I

853
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: didn't say. I didn't. I don't think that we should.

854
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: Don't think but to do that that the offensive coordinator

855
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 1: or Scott Linahan or Dak because something is wrong after

856
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: we didn't score, right, you know That's what I was.

857
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 1: That's what I was wondering, because after that I appreciate it. Yeah,

858
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: but because I believe, you know, our quarterback is we

859
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: hit people in the hands from balls and they're dropping them.

860
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: But my question is is is that when we get

861
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 1: in the red zone, why don't we just give the

862
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 1: ball to Zeke like three times in a row? What

863
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: is the what is the fault with that? Or just

864
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: saying look, I'm going I would get in Zachharden space

865
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: and Lion Collins space, and I say, look, we're running

866
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: on your side. You're the highest paid player, you, you

867
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,439
Speaker 1: were supposed to be a good draft pick. You run,

868
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna run behind you. You make a hole in

869
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: the score, you your first round draft picked back, get

870
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: in there in the end zone. I see why we

871
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: can't do that? All right? Thanksna, appreciate And I don't

872
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: think anyone here disagrees with you. And I think one

873
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 1: thing that the Cowboys fail to realize or remember. It

874
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: seems like that they look at the stacked boxes or whatever.

875
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: Nobody in the league pushes the pile better than Zeke

876
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 1: to me, and not only that he is crafty with

877
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: how he gets the ball and finds the you know,

878
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: the marker and stuff like that, and like let him

879
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: and those that you know power that he's got. He's

880
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: gonna drive some people. Just because you're in his way

881
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're gonna bring him down. Imagine if they

882
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: did that regulate, he'd have twenty five, twenty six touchdowns

883
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: in a season. Like he's just I just think the

884
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys way too. I mean, because you're asked, don't know maybe,

885
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: But I'll say this, I think that you're right. I

886
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: think he know he has a knack for getting the

887
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: ball where it needs to be, whether it's for a

888
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: first down on third or fourth and short, or whether

889
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: it's on the goal line. And so I think if

890
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: you give him those opportunities, I think he's gonna figure

891
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: out a way to do it without taking a lot

892
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,439
Speaker 1: of flush hits, Like he just knows how to find

893
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: that little scene and dip through it and get the

894
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: ball out and there you go, you gotta touchdown. I

895
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: would give him more opportunities to do that. For the

896
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: sake of argument, I will point out that Zach did

897
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 1: not play in Indianapolis, right, so he wasn't there to

898
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: do that. But as a season long trend, yes, it's

899
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 1: absolutely ludicrous. I don't know how many more ways we

900
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: can frame it. I mean, we talk about it every week,

901
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: and we should. Obviously they suck at it, and but

902
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: so we need to talk about it. But they they

903
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 1: don't want to do the obvious thing. They think that

904
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 1: the obvious thing will be stopped by an NFL defense

905
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: that is keyed up to do it. Which that's kind

906
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: of insane to me, since We've praised them for so

907
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: many years. They built this around the offensive line, and

908
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: that's they're gonna run it when nobody thinks they can.

909
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 1: And I know that there's been injuries and not having

910
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: Travis is huge, but they've played well enough that you

911
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 1: should be able to get a yard if you try

912
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: it three times in a row, like you just you

913
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: just should. It's almost like saying I have Aaron Rodgers,

914
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: so they know I'm gonna throw it something. You have

915
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: a you have an offensive line and a running back.

916
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: You put resources in because you wanted to be able

917
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 1: to run the ball against anybody in any circumstance. So

918
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: why take that away from yourself? What Jimmy chit? Would

919
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: I make it? You guys still don't have seen I

920
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: haven't seen still, but I'm just gonna keep throwing it up,

921
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: keep doing it, so we decide if we're going to go.

922
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: Their total lack of willingness to play bullyball this year

923
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: is frustrating and just for the I could say this

924
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: till I'm blue in the face, like I the offense

925
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: has been bad, and if it stays this way, like

926
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: a change will happen, Like if if they don't win

927
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and their thirty first in red zone

928
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 1: and twenty sixth and total offense. Something's got to give there,

929
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: and so us not sitting here calling for people be

930
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: fired every day is like I'm not ignoring that fact.

931
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 1: I'm just we're in a different spot. Like I said,

932
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, I've said this before, Like the season is

933
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: still going on. They're not gonna do something like that

934
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: right now. Just let's see where we are in a

935
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,720
Speaker 1: month and then we can ride through and see what happens.

936
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: Let me clarify that real quick. What I said last

937
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: week was I don't think Dak and Lenahan are a

938
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: good pair. I really don't. I think Lenahan calls plays

939
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: that a more accurate quarterback should probably be able to make. However,

940
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: I think Dak needs a coordinator that can do a

941
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: little bit more with what his skill set is. And

942
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: if one's got to go, it's certainly not going to

943
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,720
Speaker 1: be either or you keep Dak. Dak is a winner.

944
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: He's proven that. I believe that is the way to go.

945
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: And I don't know how much you want to pay him,

946
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: but I think he'll pay him something. But I do

947
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: not think anything short of a Super Bowl keeps the

948
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,439
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator here at all. All right, appreciate you guys,

949
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: Jones from back tomorrow. We're gonna let you guys know

950
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: what we're gonna think is gonna happen this Sunday Cowboys

951
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: versus Buccaneers. Still then for Nick Even, Dave Helm and

952
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,319
