Are you ready for 0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:11.720 a break? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely ready 0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:15.560 for a break? Yeah, and so much for that. It's 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:21.520 time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com with 0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:28.360 Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Hello, guys, 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:31.400 welcome to another episode of The Break. We are live 0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:34.279 here in the studio. How are you guys doing. Let 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:36.960 me start off with a nice welcoming how are y'all doing? 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:40.800 Hid we missed you yesterday? Great? Thank you. I listened 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:43.960 to the show and I heard all the gumbo talk. Yeah, 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:48.280 did do it? It was interesting, Yeah it was. It 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.280 was an okay show, all right, Yeah, okay, it was 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:54.200 okay through the whole show, but should be bad. It 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.600 was good enough for me to finish listening to the host. Okay, 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.639 we'll appreciate you listening. Thank you. Um So, first of all, 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:01.840 I want to to talk about Tavon Austin. There's still 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.679 questioning about him and his growing injury. Jason Garrett today 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:09.240 said that he'll be getting a second opinion, so there's 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:12.920 still a pending status as far as his injury. But 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:15.720 I see on Twitter a lot of talk about this 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:20.720 wide receiver Amari Cooper from the Raiders and reports of 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.080 maybe would this be an option for the Cowboys to 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.399 make a trade here. So I wanted to get your 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:29.959 opinion on this. Am bringing out the Louisville Slugger for 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:39.160 the first five minutes of the show right into No No, 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:45.840 I'm waiting for Dave answer. It was such a serious question. Well, yeah, 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.080 anytime you're talking about trading for a Pro Bowl player, 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.520 it's kind of a serious issue for sure. Um or 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.040 sensitive A should say, I don't know, I would absolutely 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.080 do it. Do I think the Well, I would absolutely 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.400 do it if the price was right, Marie. Cooper is 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:01.120 heading into the This is the last year of the 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:03.280 rookie part of his deal. The next year on his 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:06.000 deal is the fifth year option that first round picks 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.240 come with. So you be talking about paying him something 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.760 like twelve million dollars I think in twenty nineteen. So 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:14.480 I think you better think about it, and you better 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.680 be you better think you want to extend him before 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:18.560 you do it, And then what's the price? I think 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.000 I heard the Raiders are saying they want a first 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.840 round pick. Not no way. Um, maybe yeah if they 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.639 would part with him for a third or maybe a second, 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:29.960 but probably not. She Hell yeah I would. What did 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:34.600 they give for klomacy? Like freaking nothing? They got everything 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.799 and nothing? Okay, No, they got they got they got 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.280 two first round picks, but then they gave away their second, 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.760 so they and they, so they swapped. They got a 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.280 first round pick and then they swapp the first and second. Yeah, 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.800 so they got rid of a generational talent for one 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.400 first and one second basically okay, which is not good 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.919 enough when you're trading a guy like that in my opinion. Well, 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.520 we see what difference he makes to the Chicago Bears. 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.840 The defense had been that good years and all of 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:05.600 a sudden it becomes this really really great defense. I mean, 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:07.880 I think Dave's right on the on the Mark Cooper thing, 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.519 but I personally, you know how you talk about telling 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.000 people what you would do versus telling people what you 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.000 think will happen. Yeah, I don't think this is a 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.320 kind of deal that cowboys do. This sounds like the 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.839 kind of deal that the Eagles are doing. Last year, Yeah, 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:24.480 excuse me, where they were going out and they were 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:28.639 pretty pretty aggressive in going to get guys, either via 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.320 trade or whatever. But this doesn't sound kind of deal 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.000 to Cowboys have typically made over the last So we've 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:37.720 said all along that Sammy Watkins was their number one 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.120 free agent target. We didn't think that he would make 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:42.040 a big difference on this team. We didn't think that 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.800 Dez would make a big difference on this team. You know. 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.200 I mean when you're talking about the Raiders have an 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.840 offensive line. I don't know if it's it's as good, 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:53.200 but it's been pretty good. Their quarterback is a better 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:57.480 quarterback I think as a passer than Dak So what's 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.720 the problem with the Mark Cooper? If that's the case 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.960 of me, would he definitely make an you know, impact here? 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.560 I don't. I don't know if if these other guys aren't, 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.160 I don't know how he would. I think Amari Cooper 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.080 sounds like he's having a very deslike season. Derek Carr's 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.120 not playing as well as the contract indicates that he should. 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.400 There's just a whole host of problems there. He's dropping balls, 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.240 he's getting lost in game plans, Defenses are scheming him 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.680 out of the out of things, which I'm not here. 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:24.279 I'm not saying he's not a good player or that 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.279 he wouldn't be good on this team. But he's got 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:28.919 troubles of his own and kind of like what we 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.200 talk about with Dez and yes, Sammy Watkins is like 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.080 he is he gonna be the magic pill that fixes 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.240 this offense. I kind of doubt it, you know, I 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.960 think that there's it's like first round grades. You know, 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.799 there's how many first round grades typically are there about 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.960 seventeen or eighteen something like that. Well that means, you know, 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.080 there's fourteen fifteen guys that are getting picked in the 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.280 first round. They don't have a first round grade. And 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:53.800 it's the same to me with number one receivers, Well, 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:55.960 what's the number one receiver? Are there thirty two number 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.279 one receivers in the league. There's like there's like six 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.920 or seven. So there's guy out there that are getting 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.599 paid like number one, drafted like number one, and are 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:07.520 the number one receiver, but they're not actually playing like 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.400 a franchise player. And I think he's one of those guys. 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.480 I think Dez was in that same boat too, So 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.080 it's like, yeah, you're the starting wide receiver on a 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.440 football team, but you're not really a number one. I 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.680 think there's only about ten. Okay, I have a fun 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:24.760 little game here for you. Then before we start talking 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.520 about the rest Kings. I would do it for a 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.600 third round pick, though, oh I would for if the 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.880 number was right. I mean, and to me, maybe even 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:36.000 fourth round, like I don't know if I'd get up 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.560 to third, but somewhere in that range. I think it's fair. 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:42.279 I think it's fair. Well, again, the biggest discussion is, Okay, 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:46.240 what what wide receiver? Wide receiver you could bring it 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.560 here that could actually make a difference to where it 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.320 would work with Dak and get the offense moving. So 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:56.640 six to ten that you were just with that being said, 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.800 I want each of you to pick one wide receiver 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.080 you think would absolutely make a difference on this team. 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.640 Obviously this is not realistic at all, but if you 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.880 could choose, doesn't matter of the prize, doesn't matter of 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.560 where the players coming from. Yes, did you watch The 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:15.400 Happy Hour last night? I did not. Sounds kind of yeah, 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:17.080 sounds kind of familiar with what we do. You guys 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:21.200 talked about that, well, we taught it, not not specifically. 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:22.839 There was a there was a fan that came in 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.480 and basically just wanted us to poach from the Chiefs. Yeah, 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.320 just take what you want from the Chiefs. I don't 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.600 know why he was so from the Chiefs. Yeah, from 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:31.599 the Chiefs. I don't know why. This is all around 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:33.680 the NFL. Yeah, I know. But it wasn't a bad 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:37.839 question because because it all hit positions that you thought, 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.000 you know, that this team would would need. Yeah, it 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:41.680 doesn't mean and I thought it was good answers by 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:43.560 you guys too. By the way, it's good. I'm always 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.279 gonna go with the speed game. Okay, So who would 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.159 be your wide receiver? Okay, sorry, let's play the game. 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.800 I got my, I got mine too, good to go. Yeah, 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.720 I'll give me Michael Thomas from New Orleans. Honestly, uh 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.520 DeAndre Hopkins is another guy just because he's such a 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:02.320 free take two. Sorry, I'll take Michael Thomas, and I'll 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.280 tell you why. Because for this offense, I don't care 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.240 about speed. I don't. That's not to take the top 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:10.080 off the defense guy. He's not that accurate the further 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.120 down the field that he gets. Michael Thomas is an 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.200 incredible route runner. He's six three. He can box out 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.960 any defensive back in the league. He's a better Dez 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.800 in terms of route running, in terms of catch radius, 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.720 just beating guys off the ball. I think he would 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.720 be great for this offense because this, you know, this, 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.680 ain't this, ain't that high flying throwing the ball eighty 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.400 yards down the field offense anyway, And I think he 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.600 would complement what they want to do perfectly. Okay, the 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:38.040 reason I say I don't take two is because you're 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.880 taking Hopkins. I would take Hopkins. And the reason I 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:44.240 take Hopkins is because of all the number one receivers 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:45.960 in the league, all of all those six to ten 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:48.720 guys that you mentioned that would be considered number one guys, 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:50.600 he's the only one I can think of right off 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.080 the top of my head that has been able to 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.920 produce regardless of the quality of the quarterback. And so 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.840 if you have issues about whether you think this quarterback 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.200 is accurate enough or can throw the ball in the 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.720 right place and be able to throw guys open, as 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.280 we hear people say all the time, then DeAndre Hopkins 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:08.280 is the guy you want because he's shown that he 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:09.920 can do it no matter who the guy is that's 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:13.000 throwing the ball, he will make that quarterback better. Um 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.040 and So from that standpoint, if you want to put 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.200 somebody in that immediately helps this offense, somebody like DeAndre 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:23.120 Hopkins can do that. Let's take Antonio Brown might as well. 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:24.840 If we're gonna play the game, let's just play the game. 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:26.840 I mean, I would say the other guy in New York, 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:31.400 but he's a problem, you know, and he always is, 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.400 and and and you know as well as you guys. Well, no, 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:38.600 it's not that. It's just he's he's the typical wide 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.320 receiver diva. I mean, unbelievable talent, but he's got so 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.320 much distractions. And and if if you know, Elis is 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.480 a problem for him, I'm sure Dak would be too. 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:51.280 So you know, Antonia, Roethlisberger is great, I get it. 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.880 I get your point about Hopkins, and all of them 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.520 would be good. Antonio Brown's not not a diva. I 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.280 mean no, absolutely, he has a share of m as 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:06.600 well from him. Yeah, I understand, Yeah, seriously, that position. 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:10.560 Julio is another guy. Julio's not a diva. I don't know, 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.720 That's what I'm saying. Julio is for the same reason 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:15.640 I like Michael Thomas. Julio does a lot of the 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.800 same stuff. And yeah, I don't He's said like eight 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:22.720 words in his NFL career. But like Golden Tate, who 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.480 I don't like really, but I love Golden Tate really, 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.240 what did he is? Like? He is like Hind's war 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.559 to me, like he is that tough wide receiver that 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:34.559 just can do a little bit of everything. I've never 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:37.440 been a fan um that he. I mean, anybody like 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.160 that would help right now, DeVante Adams would would help. 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:43.319 I think't Hind isn't a isn't a Golden Tate a 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:45.680 free agent AF this year? I think he is. I 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:47.440 don't know. I got a buddy who's an Alliance fan. 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.200 He told me that. Now. I don't know if I 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.080 completely trusted, but he told me he's a free agent 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:53.959 after this year. What about aj Green? He would be 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.720 pretty good here. What I love is just tamper the 0:09:56.720 --> 0:10:00.560 whole league. Really, let's just get him all with the 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.240 exception of as the commissioners on the TV right there, 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:07.240 with the exception of Odell and Julio, Like all the 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:11.319 guys we just named were not super duper premium draft picks. 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:15.520 Hopkins was picked twenty seven, Thomas was pick forty three, 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.960 forty four Antonio Browns. Tom Brown's a sixth round pick. 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.280 Y man. Gives you a little made of optimism that 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:24.000 the Cowboys could find a guy like that in the 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.000 draft this year. We were on the show last night. 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.680 But I also remember real quick also remember all those 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:32.360 guys have really, really good quarterbacks. So maybe a function 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.360 of getting a guy later means that you got to 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.439 have the quarterback that can get them the ball and 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.319 make them into much better players. Course, Hopkins has been good, 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.679 You're right, Hopkins has been good with I mean Weedon. Yeah, 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:44.240 he's he's He's the only one I could think of 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:45.640 off the top of my head that didn't have a 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.200 premium quarterback. Yeah. I think it depends on what show 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.160 show you listen to. If you listen to The Talking Cowboys, 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.920 it sounds like Michael Gallup is not getting used at all. 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.480 And I think because we're on the show last night, 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.480 and and Mickey and and I'm I'm sure Ryan and 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.400 you know, Nate and everybody was like they got to 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.679 get Gallop the ball. Say I agree with that, though, 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:09.280 but you know, I mean, it's still a small sample size. 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:11.920 He's played six games, he's had a couple of moments. 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.360 You know that are good. Right, He's had a couple 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:16.640 of moments where he hasn't really performed. I mean, I 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.080 still think that's what rookies do, right, I get it. 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:22.160 I'm just saying I think he's getting a fair amount now. 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.360 I mean, yes, he'll be nice to see it. But 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:26.480 then I think that would be a replay of what 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:28.680 we saw with des and just kind of when you 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:30.760 try to force the ball to someone and he just 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:32.840 doesn't work out that way. I'm not saying forced the 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.280 ball to him. I'm saying, maybe give him more reps. 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.200 But right now they got this rotation where they got 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.240 a bunch of guys that they're throwing at it. I 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.559 would I would probably shrink that a little bit, and 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:46.439 maybe that happens out of necessity with you know, sounds 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.840 like it is if Tavon's gonna be out for a while, 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.000 then maybe that that happens just by necessity. But I'd 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.720 just like to see him get more opportunities because I've 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.880 seen him go deep. I've seen him make an athletic 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.280 non catch, but I thought that was a great catch 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.760 non catch. I just think he's got some skill and 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:05.720 I think you got to develop that he's a young guy. 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:09.280 Young receivers typically have those moments of good stuff and 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.920 then bad stuff. Receiver is one of those hard positions 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.400 where guys usually don't come in and immediately are great. 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.080 You know, all right, let's take our first break and 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.080 when we come back, we'll dive into the Redskins offense. 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.320 If you're like me and you love I mean, if 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.439 you have a thing, then cutting the chord is scary. 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.240 But then I found out I could switch to DirecTV 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:30.120 Now and still get the live sports I love.

That's why the Cowboys rely on more than 0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.280 staffed some scouting reports when building their team. When picking 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.640 a tractor. It's why you should rely on more than 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.080 specs and features as well. You got to take it 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.559 out and put it to the test the Cowboys did 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:11.080 when they named John Deer their official tractor.

Slash 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:23.360 Football Back to the Break, All right, welcome back. This 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:26.280 is the second segment up the break. The Cowboys are 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.760 sitting on a nice three and three while the Redskins 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.760 are three and two coming off a win twenty three 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:37.400 seventeen against the Panthers. So, Dave, let's start talking about 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.840 this offense and what it brings against the Cowboys defense. 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:45.120 Have you watched the Cowboys play offense this year? Yep? Yeah, 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:50.720 podcast you're good, you're good, then you're good. You don't 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:54.320 need you don't need almost, so it's pretty equivalent. It's 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:57.880 the same thing, really, I mean not really like it's 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.760 I felt like the quarterback has experience, has had more success. 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:05.640 Lark quarterback is Dak Prescott? Okay, Alex Smith is what 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:10.320 is Dak Prescott's ceiling? And people people hear that and 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:13.640 think it's this terrible thing. It's really not Alex Smith. 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:15.960 It sucks for him that he's always going to be 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:18.240 compared to Aaron Rodgers. But like he has had a 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:23.040 damn good career. He has taken two different franchises, you know, 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:24.880 to the cusp of a Super Bowl. He never got 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.000 to an ANFC title game with the Chiefs, I don't think, 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:30.240 but they had some prett damn good teams in Kansas City. 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:33.800 He was a muffed punt away from Super Bowl forty two, 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:43.720 forty forty six, forty whatever, forty sixty six. I don't 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.040 remember remember a forty nine er guy dropping a punt, 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.760 but Kyle Williams Super Bowl, I remember the game. I 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:53.080 remember numbers Giants, forty nine ers, two eleven. Anyway, Alex 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.640 Smith has had a very nice career. He protects the football, 0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:00.560 he's smart, he's mobile, very mobile, he can do all 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:02.640 kinds of that type of stuff. Like I if Dak 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:04.560 Prescott turns out to be as good as Alex Smith 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:08.160 as a fourth round pick, it'll be incredible. But so 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:12.280 they just play similarly. Um the Redskins lean on their 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.720 run game their twelfth in the league. Their pass game 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:17.200 doesn't leave a lot to be desired. They average two 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:20.440 hundred and thirty yards per game sometimes not even that good. Um, 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.560 and they're not scoring a ton. They're they're twenty fourth 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:27.440 and scoring in twenty fourth, in twenty fifth in total offense. Um. 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:29.880 You see a lot of the same stuff, but it's 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.560 different personnel. So like you know, we talk about how 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.080 we hate the Cowboys commitments to the tight ends. Given 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:38.120 the tight ends on their team, the Redskins run a 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:41.080 ton of twelve and thirteen personnel, but it works better 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:43.560 because their tight ends are better. They got a freak 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.120 in Jordan Read. Got a former first round pick in 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.320 Vernon Davis who definitely found new life when he got 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:53.440 to Washington. Jordan Read healthy. He's he's playing, yes, yeah, 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:56.400 I mean he's not asked. He always no. No, that's 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.360 I think it's a fair question, well founded. But he's 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:03.360 he's played every week season or most of them. That's good. Yeah. Um. 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:07.200 They also have Nix's guy, Jeremy Sprinkle, underrated little third 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:11.560 tight end Sprinkle like Arkansas Sprinkle me Woo pig Sue. 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:14.800 He'll steal a catch. He'll steal a catch or two 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:20.440 from you if you're not careful. Belk Um Anyway. I 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:22.680 don't know why we're already talking about Jeremy Sprinkle, but yeah, 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.560 so you see a lot of the same stuff run 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:27.960 to set up the pass. You know, Adrian Peterson's the 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:31.280 story here. I shudder to think what this offense would 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:33.880 look like with Darius Guys if he was healthy. It's 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:37.679 good for the Cowboys that he's not for this year. Um. Yeah, 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:41.919 Adrian Thompson too. And that's that's the thing here. Is 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:48.800 Chris Thompson and um Jamison Crowder really make this thing go. 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:50.920 In terms of the passing game. I mentioned the tight 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.359 ends and they love to use them, but everything else 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:56.280 is really pretty mad. Like again, it reminds me of 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:58.119 the Cowboys, like they don't have they don't have a 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:01.840 bona fide receiver that they trust. Josh Dockson is trending 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.520 toward a bust of a first round pick. Really, is 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.320 it that bad? I mean, he's been hurt for so 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:10.840 much of his career. He's he makes nice plays and 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:14.080 he shows the potential for the circus catch. He's just 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:15.960 hasn't done it on a regular basis. I think he's 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.480 got eight catches this year. Yeah, it ain'try, It's not great. 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:23.160 M Paul Richardson's the free agent that they brought in 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:27.080 from Seattle. He'll get behind the defense. He's fast. He 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.679 had a big long touchdown against Green Bay. But again, 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:33.359 not any kind of consistency. Like the consistency here is 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:36.720 the tight ends are versatile and can play in line 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:40.160 and out. And then Jamison Crowder is kind of your 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:44.840 Tavon Austin for lack of a better comparison. You know, 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.240 he runs underneath, they motion him, they do all kinds 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:49.560 of stuff with him, and then Chris Thompson is your 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.480 web back. The thing is Crowder and Thompson are hurt 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:54.959 right now. They did not play against the Panthers, and 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:58.400 it showed. Look they didn't. They didn't look super impressive 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.520 to me. Keep an eye on it. We'll see. I 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:03.040 don't like, I don't have an answer right now. I 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:05.480 think they'll start watching the injury report. They're hopeful that 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:08.560 both will be able to play this week, but we'll see. Um. 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:10.720 I think it actually when Chris Thompson is there, it 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.639 actually makes Adrian Peterson even better because, yeah, they have 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:17.280 that compliment to what Adrian Peterson can do. So Chris 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:19.480 Thompson is I think one of the most underrated players 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.200 in that league. Just he can't stay healthy, which sucks 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:27.040 for him. Dunbar. Yeah, I mean a much more productive 0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:29.400 lance Dunbar. But very similar when you when you're talking 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:32.280 about guys like that, I mean, in same with Tavon 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:34.879 Austin goes all the way back, rocket ismile all the 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:37.440 way back. Those those guys like that. Yeah, they're really 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.040 good and fast, but just don't let them get hit. Yeah, 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:43.119 I mean you look at just go look at NFL players. 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:45.400 I was taking my family down on the field before 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:47.720 the game last week and they were just looking that. 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:51.200 The kids were looking at these mammoth of niggs, mammoth men, 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:54.240 and it's like, yeah, that's what NFL football is. But 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:56.040 then you see the little guy and you're like, if 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:59.000 he takes a hit from this other guy. There are 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:02.000 sports cards. Yeah, they can win, they can win races, 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:04.040 but if they get hit, you get hit, it's done it. 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:08.640
