Well, we'd love to hear 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:07.760 from you guys. So everybody doing today, I'm being I 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.520 was waiting, I'm so good. I was waiting to see 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:14.880 what everybody else said. But I'm why me, I'm great, okay, 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:16.399 but I just want to I don't know. I didn't 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.080 want to speak for everybody else. You did have to, 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:19.720 You could have spoken for yourself, but I didn't want 0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.160 to jump in in front of everybody else. My perception 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.600 is that everybody seems to be in a good mood today. 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:29.120 All right, Yeah, you're in a good mood today. Yeah, 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.240 all right, good good. This is gonna be a spicy show. Then. 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:33.800 I like it when you're in a good mood. Nick, 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.280 you're good, good, fair, all right, let's jump in. Let's 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:40.760 talk first about injuries. Thank you for asking. Yes, I'm good. 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.600 I'm very good today. All right, so let's talk about injuries. First. 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:45.600 We got three guys that did not practice You back 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:50.040 Martin's back. Oh. I was just about to mention his 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:55.160 name as I did not practice yesterday. Is he healthy? No? 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.840 Would you sit him? Hasn't been healthy. He hasn't been 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.120 healthy all year. I know, but I'm no, I wouldn't 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:02.840 sit him. You're like, we gotta go all in, the 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:06.440 best player on this team, tough m effort, he's ready 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:10.080 to go. Wow, Okay. I mean, well, I scratch that 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:11.760 last statement. I don't know if he's ready to go. 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:17.200 It's Thursday. It's very encouraging that he's back to practice. Um, 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.679 but we'll see. But I mean, he's he's a tough 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:23.440 son of a gun. He's a great player. I think 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.880 that if their backs had truly been against the wall 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.399 against Indy, he probably could have gutted through that too. 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:31.720 It's just a it's an assumption on my part, but 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:33.560 just knowing the type of guy he is, I think 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.200 he could have uh and I definitely think he can 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.239 get through it this week. So there's no opinion. I 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:41.799 guess on this panel that if he's not and I 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.440 don't even say one hundred percent, if he's still hurt, 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:46.919 that you would sit him this week because you're thinking 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:50.280 of the big picture and the playoffs. Big picture starts 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:51.960 to look kind of iffy. If I'm gonna win this game, 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:53.880 this is the playoff, I'm not trying to go to 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.480 the meadowlands. I think that's a bad idea. Yeah, yeah, 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.720 I think I think you go win this game. You 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.760 get him out there or play, and let's win this 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:07.440 game and then set him for the Giants. Game you 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:10.280 need to or you probably would, you'd set a few 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.200 people for that game. And you gotta win this one. 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:14.880 This is the one to win. This is the most 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.919 winnable game on your schedule right now. So outside of that, 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.960 the Cowboys injury report looks actually pretty good. The only 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.080 other guys that did not practice yesterday and David Irving 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.800 Jeff Swain, which we expected, we don't expect that they'll 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:28.880 be back this week, so you can pretty much just 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:30.880 kind of write those guys off. But there were a 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.200 couple guys that were limited. Tavon Austin limited with the 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.720 growing injury, Colby's foot, Sean Lee still with the hammy 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.360 even though he played last week, and then Xavier Suafilo 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:44.120 was limited with the eye injury. How we what are 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.560 we hearing about those guys? Any of those guys looking like, 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:52.600 specifically for Tavon Austin, Xavier Suafilo because Tavion still hasn't 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:56.280 come back yet, and and for Suafilo that injury is 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.680 just so gruesome. You just don't know if he's gonna 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.960 be able to play. But what are you guys hearing? Uh? 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.640 Xavier said yesterday that he in he's hopeful he can play, 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.600 and he intends to and he's feeling a lot better. 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.080 You know, he was rocking the tom Ford sunglasses keep 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.920 the light out of his eye, probably keep people from 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.080 having a look at it too, kind of probably kind 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:18.359 of gnarly looking, but he's out there. I yeah, I 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.279 feel good about him being available. And Tavon, you don't 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:22.760 want to read too much into it, but he was 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:26.159 part of the kind of pre practice walk through that 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.920 they do today where they kind of they go through 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.400 some of the stuff they're gonna work on on air 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.280 instead of against the defense, and he was he was 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.640 part of that. So and usually if you the expectation 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:41.040 is that that's preparation for game like, that's game prep, right, 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:43.880 which would be a positive sign, right. So, and I 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.240 think they they're excited about getting him back for a 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.080 punt return. I mean, Basiley, he's not giving you anything 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.479 really there other than the guy that catches it. So 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:53.720 I think they they're excited about having him back. I 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:55.800 don't know about kickoff returns, but they're always kick it 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.279 over their head anyway. So yeah, but he's your gadget player. 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.640 That's at least the hope you're able to do a 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:05.200 lot of different. Yeah, I think much much like Sean 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.080 Lee only played seven snaps. I you know, if let's 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.760 say Tavon plays, I bet it would be They're not 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:14.039 just gonna open every everything up with him, not that 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.360 they really ever were, but I think he would mainly 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:19.800 be your return man to start and a very limited 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:23.360 offensive role would be my guest. But yeah, I feel 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.080 good about him playing. I was just gonna make a 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:29.200 comment about Xavier for those who don't really know. Um. 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:32.599 He basically told me that it looks It looked like 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.640 when a fighter gets punched writing the eye and then 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:39.000 he gets super swollen too, where your eyes literally shut. 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:44.520 So he said, the swollen it's going down. He's putting 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:48.080 in drops throughout the day. And he didn't really show me, 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.279 but I saw it from the side. It did seem 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:55.160 a little less swollen, but all of it is still purple, 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.279 like a whole black eye, all the whole area. Yeah. Yeah, 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.360 if you go watch that, if you go watch the 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:02.360 video of him, Yes, you know, he did a media 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.800 interview and there's a video. He wore his sunglasses in 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:08.000 the interview, which is great, but he's not the only 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.159 one to wear sunglasses in the house. Yeah, no, I know. 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.960 I was like, well, Jalen does that every week, so right, 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:17.120 but underneath you can see it's like purple and gray, 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.719 just all yeah, like can you see it outside of 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:24.280 the Gnarly is a great word for it, Like, yeah, 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:26.479 can I get illegal hands to the face. I mean, 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.560 if this is going on, what if it was Lyell 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:32.400 that did it, You're gonna flag your own teammate? Was 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.039 it that? Xavier said he didn't know for sure, but 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:39.160 that's kind of the word coming from everybody. It was 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.680 that Lyell was the guy. Xavier said he didn't know 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.080 for sure, but because I did go back and look 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.360 at it, and it does look like the Colts guy 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.120 has got his hands like right there, so I mean 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.960 he's got his hand on his face. Yeah, but I 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.760 mean it would have been a nice penalty. I mean, 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:56.520 if if you're gonna have you lose your regard for 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:58.800 the game on fourth down and the guy fumbles, it 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:00.760 would have been a nice penalty to have first and 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.360 goal first out of it. Might gotta feel goal maybe 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.440 at the half yard line, I don't know, some goal. 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:07.000 I don't know if they score out of that. With 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.720 Adam Redman coming into the game right off the bat 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:13.680 got three shots, so four shots probably three Yeah, No, 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:17.160 I just I think that it would just one of 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.720 those plays where you know, you talk about a fighter, 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.120 you know, it happens every whether they get punched on 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.520 fifty times or like in Rocky, like a thousand times, 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:30.480 and that's what happens. One punch, one finger to the 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:35.160 eye inadvertently. Yeah, but that's like I wasn't there. I 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.800 don't know, but I think he had somebody's digit, like 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.240 a couple knuckles deep in his eye. Said that a 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.640 couple of times. I don't need to. I'm just saying like, 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:44.720 this ain't like he got you know, he didn't poke 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:46.760 himself while he was putting his contact right and this 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.640 thing was like all the way in there. Yeah, it's gross. 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:54.240 It's real gross. Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry, Let's move on, 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:56.640 all right, So let's go ahead and get into the 0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.360 Tampa Bay offense. Dave, give us your scoutter report on 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.520 this Tampa Bay offense that right now is ranked third 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:07.680 in the NFL. Big plays good and bad. That's I mean, well, no, 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.160 for you and for them, for real, this is I mean, 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.280 it's backyard football. You got a cannon armed quarterback and 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:17.640 some really scary wide receivers, especially if DeShawn Jackson comes 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.640 back this week, which it's trending that that will happen. 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:25.520 We'll see. But Mike Mike Evans is averaging eighteen yards 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.280 per catch, which as a as a thirteen hundred yard receiver, 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.280 that's hard to do. Like when you're talking about a 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.520 high volume of catches, that's hard to do. DeShawn Jackson's 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.480 been missing with a broken thumb for a decent chunk 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.240 of the season. Nineteen yards per catch. We knew that 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.640 about him, but he's he's still pretty scary even I 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.559 mean what this is like year twelve for him or 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.840 something like that, third and total offense first, and passing 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:51.880 offense twenty eighth and rushing only twenty five points per game, 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:55.520 which that's the other thing. They just they just love 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:57.840 to give the ball away, which to Nick's point from yesterday, 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:00.800 that's why Jameis Winson has been the quarterback all year. 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:04.360 He's obviously suspended to start. Ryan Fitzpatrick comes in, plays great. 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.160 Jamis comes back. They've been swapping him him in and out. 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.719 Thirty two total giveaways this year. They are minus sixteen 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:17.240 in turnover differential. Jamis has thirteen interceptions and he's missed 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:21.280 like five starts. So thirteen interceptions in nine or ten games, 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.400 but he's missed how many starts? Well, he got benched 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.720 for two and then missed another two. Yeah, but he 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.560 started the season, didn't He start a season with four 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:34.240 was it four? Three nuts? So he's missed like five games. 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.040 I was just figuring out. I didn't know if you 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.160 factored that in the games the beginning of the season 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:42.080 for the suspension. Um. Yeah, thirteen picks in nine games, 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:46.240 give or take. Um, yeah, no, not great, yeah, um, 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.520 and that's why, Yeah, they benched him. He has he's 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.240 been back for a little while. He's been back since 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:55.840 like October twenty eighth, I think, so he's been in there. Um. So, 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:59.160 I mean it's it's feast and famine with these guys. Um. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.800 They are better at running the ball than I. You know, 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:04.440 I don't want to fall into the same trap two 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:06.920 weeks in a row. Like, you know, the Colts were 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.200 supposedly terrible at running the ball. The stats say they're 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.120 not great. They ran it twenty one times for eighty 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:15.040 five yards against Baltimore last week. Peyton Barber was averaging 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.200 five yards per carry, So I don't want to say 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.319 that they can't do it too good. Defense they did 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:23.240 that again, yeah, exactly, but they're not great at it 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.920 and pay I mean, I want to say it for 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.199 the second week in a row either. Peyton Barber is 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:29.880 not the scariest running back that they're going to play 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:33.200 this year, but neither was Marlon Mack. So something to watch. 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.520 I'll be curious to see how they run, defense rebounds. 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:37.520 I don't think this offensive line is as good as 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:41.960 the Colts. They've given up thirty seven sacks this year. Yeah, 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.760 I don't know any any questions. Yeah, I do have 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:49.079 one question. You talked about their big playability. I can't recall, 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.080 but has there been a game this season where the 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.720 Cowboys have particularly been susceptible to big plays? Like Seattle 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:58.800 just gotten beat up like that? Seattle was early on. 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.800 They didn't have they didn't have Xavier Woods at the time, 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.480 but they gave up a fifty two yard touchdown to 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:09.679 Tyler Lockett and a thirty something yard or too um 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.120 one of their Jeron Brown I think. And then Detroit 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.480 the week after that, Golden Tate tortured him twice. So 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:19.920 it was a while early in the year. A couple 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:23.480 of times, I mean, and Hopkins didn't have big play, 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.840 like down the field. It was just like leaving through everybody. 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.400 But I think in the last few weeks they've sort 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.680 of I mean, really last seven weeks. If they didn't 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.280 give a big play this last game, But it wasn't 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:37.240 to me. I didn't think of that as a problem 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.360 for them. They couldn't stop the run. That was the issue. 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:41.760 And so I know they've had moments and they've given 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.360 up big plays. I didn't recall them that being like 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.600 the theme of the game where they just could not 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.000 they were just getting beat up downfield. They have another 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:53.360 thousand yard receiver, they have Godwin. Does he have a thought? 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:55.600 I don't think he has a thousand yards? He shocking him? 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:57.840 And they well they have Adam Humphries too, which I 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.640 mean Cole Beasley two point zer. Hello, he's the he's 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:04.360 the same guy, I mean, carbon copy almost slot receiver. 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.959 Maybe cheaper. Well, I guess we'll see. Was like, was 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:11.520 he doing Twitter? He is he rap? He does not rap? No, 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.720 what does he do on Twitter? He's got got Godwin's 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:19.479 got a Godwin's got about seven hundred yards five touchdowns, 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:24.760 um inconsistent and just Godwin and and honestly Evans like Evans, 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.440 Evans can He'll drop one on you from time to time. 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.480 Godwin definitely, I liked him a lot coming out of 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:33.600 Penn State. He's hid and miss and that's I would 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.960 rather play Chris Godwin than Deshaan Jackson. Just Deshan Jackson, Yeah, 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:41.920 kills these guys all the time, which I I fascinate. 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.240 If DeShawn Jackson does play, I would you know, you 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.840 would assume Byron Jones wants to match up with Mike 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.640 Evans as much as possible, which welcome to the Pro Bowl. 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.080 Have fun dealing with a tight end that can run 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.960 like a receiver basically. But then, well, what do you 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.520 do with Deshan Jackson? If you mean getting you gotta 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:02.240 pick your poison between those two guys, and I I 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.679 just Cheeto Woozier like once again, tough luck loser, Like 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.319 you're going to draw a tough assignment regardless because it 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.400 will be the guy that Byron isn't on. Yeah, and 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:13.280 that's the thing too, I don't know that this is 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.079 a leek. I necessarily say I want to travel, I 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:17.960 usually I think of traveling a guy when it's like him, 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.720 it's one receiver and then everybody else is just whatever. 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:23.720 I think this is a week where you've got a 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.640 couple different good players, So you stick with where people 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.080 where your guys are. You don't necessarily have to travel 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:31.319 just wherever they line up. You just cover the guy 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.120 that's in front of you, right, I agree. I mean, 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.800 and this team, they don't travel an extraordinary amount anyway, 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:40.000 But like I want Byron Jones on Evans as much 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.880 as possible because Byron is so physical and he's got 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.240 the athleticism to hang with a guy like that, which 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:47.840 if you're gonna get away with the amount of contact 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.320 that Byron prefers to play with, it would be against 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.240 a bigger receiver like this. So you got a blitz 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:57.880 Jamis because I mean, he's obviously not going nowhere. Yeah, 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.640 he's not going anywhere. But that's where the big plays 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.959 probably come in because he's like, all right, if I'm 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.640 getting you know, pressured, I'm gonna throw it up. I'll 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:07.800 throw it up to Evans. I like my chances there, 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.280 or throw it deep to Jackson. That's where I bet 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:12.600 they get a lot of chunk plays and they probably 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.400 get a lot of you know, bad plays as well. 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.480 Jamis is just gonna heave it downfield more times in 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:22.480 this game than Dak probably has all year. Seriously, like 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:26.680 I believe that, wait, Heath's gonna get two interceptions. This 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.720 would be This is the game where I mean, Jamis 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:32.880 has a ridiculous right there. It's got a ridiculous amount 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:37.240 of confidence in his arm, probably too much. Thirteen picks. Yeah, 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:39.520 Like this defense should be able to get a pick 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.920 or two in this game. And even I don't, you don't. 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:43.360 You don't even have to like break in front of 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.320 the ball, like bat it up and let somebody else whatever, 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.960 whatever it takes. But they need to force some takeaways 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:51.680 in this game, playing at home against the quarterback that 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.520 likes to give the ball away, and they're gonna be 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.840 throwing it a lot, So you can't you can't let 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.680 them embarrass you on the ground for lack of a 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.080 better word, because they shouldn't be able to dictate this 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.320 game with their running game. Obviously the Colts did that. 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.040 Like I said, I don't, you know, Ali Marpet's a 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.240 good player, Diamond Smith is a pretty good player. I 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:11.560 don't think this offensive line is as good as the 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.680 Colts was though, So yeah, all right, looks like our 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:16.360 first break. We'll come back. Dave's gonna give us a 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:18.640 scattering report on the defense, the Tampa defense, and how 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:20.480 that matches up with the Cowboys offense. Will do it 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.560 when we come right back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.480 Com Radio.

Back to the Break Welcome back. 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:54.600 It is the second segment of the Breaklock from the 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:58.640 s WBC Mortal Studios at the Star talking Cowboys Versus Buccaneers. 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:01.719 Dave gave us is offensive scouting report on the Bucks, 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:03.760 and now they'll tell us a little bit about the defense. 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:10.480 Dave take away they're bad. They're bad, Derek Nick, your 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.600 stat was the best one. Tell everybody your stat from yesterday. 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:15.480 While I was looking at the red zone offense for 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.120 the Cowboys, and if you notice, the Cowboys have struggled 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:21.400 in the red zone with their offense. So I was like, yeah, 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:23.560 they have that. They're not very good. Actually they're thirty 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:27.119 first in the NFL. Yeah. Forty three attempts, nineteen touchdowns. 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:30.800 That's not's not good at all. Um. So I was like, oh, okay, 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.480 real quick. The guy was telling me stats and I 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:35.640 was like, wait, real quick, what are the Bucks on defense? 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:39.400 He's like, hum their last I was like, what, really 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:42.080 are they bad? He's like forty you know, fifty one 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:44.480 attempts that teams have gotten in there, they've scored a 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:49.080 touchdown forty times out and that's good teams. Bad teams 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:53.800 at ames field goals. So fifty one trips inside their 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.400 twenty and only three times that they've got a turnover 0:18:56.560 --> 0:19:00.920 or turnover on downs or missed the field goal. I mean, 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:04.320 the Bucks are allowing a touchdown seventy eight percent of 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:08.200 the time when the opponent gets to their twenty. Cowboys 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:10.760 are scoring a touchdown forty four percent of the time 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.000 when they get to the opponent's twenty. That could fix 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:19.679 a lot of your problems. Problems. Yeah, buck break right now, 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:22.560 we're break. We're finally going up against an offense we 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:26.280 can stop. H that that right, I mean, that's that's 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:31.840 it's just called like that, Mickey drop. We've got perfect. 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:35.040 If you cannot win in the red zone against this team, 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:37.880 then you have some serious, major problems. And they do, 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:44.520 they do they have problems. Then it happens. That's that's 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:51.159 a I'm firing somebody. Okay. That's Amber speaks for the 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:52.960 fans because she's like, I don't know who's got to 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:56.159 get fired, but somebody's got to go. Somebody's going. It 0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:59.880 doesn't matter if Christmas, somebody's gotta go by next week. 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:02.000 That's the end of the rant that you had the 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:04.560 other day. You were just ranting and you didn't really 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:06.720 have an ending, like oh, she just let us know. 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.840 That's the ending. Somebody's getting fired. She just went straight. 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:11.959 Think I would be the case. I would imagine they 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:15.360 could be successful here because obviously the Cowboys don't struggle 0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:19.320 getting to that point to the twenty yard, and they 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:21.240
