35
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: if if barring a setback, they think he'll be available.

36

42
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,680

43
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: be wrong. That's that's why he doesn't guarantee anything for

44
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: the most part. Just know that I asked the people

61
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: just looks at his phone and sees Rob Phillips no

62
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: Twitter notification pop up, and he just spit takes it all. No,

63
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that. I got a question, free

64
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: sweet potatoes, marshmallows or no marshmallows. Definitely marsh really gotta hell, yes,

65
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: you gotta have the marshmallows on it. Really, you marshmallow guy.

66
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: We didn't do it. I thought you were looking for

67
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: some in the store. Is that Kyle couldn't find. No,

68
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: I thought it was I was telling them you can't

69
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: find That's what it was. Yeah, yeah, I guess people buying,

70
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: you know, and I have I don't even thinking against it.

71
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: I just never did it. You know. My wife is

72
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: from Akarin, Ohio, and they didn't put marshmallows on this either.

73
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: So I think it's a cultural Southern thing. Maybe some

74
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: people put marshmallows, some people put like was it like

75
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: is it becomes Oh no, don't do that, Wow, don't

76
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: do that. I never don't do that. I've seen I

77
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: mean i've seen it. Yeah, No, that's probably a watch

78
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: not becas bro I don't do it. I don't make

79
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: the sweet potatoes in my house. I can, but I

80
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: don't care. You call dressing dressing or stuffing. I don't

81
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: do dressing dressing. I call it dressing, but I don't

82
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: like it. I groups stuff is stuffing. Yes, I definitely

83
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: had that word thrown around my household. Stuffing, stuff stuff stuffing.

84
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: We had stuffing. He's your strong handwagon too, baby. All right,

85
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,400

00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: here on this Wednesday. Is your favorite side? Oh it's

87
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,239
Speaker 1: heavy Green being Castle? Yeah, I love Green Being Castle.

88
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: You want to just do the show just right here? Sorry? Sorry, Hey,

89
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: Traymon Diggs is in the top two of Pro Bowl voting.

90
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: How about that? That's good at the cornerback position. Back

91
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: to news and notes. There you go, stuffing, stuffing, He's

92
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: stuff in that ballot box. Any anything else from yesterday's

93
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: practice stick count well ceedee. Lamb did not participate in

94
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: that run through practice. They say he's making progress. Yeah,

95
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not sure about day at this point. Yeah,

96
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: we'll see. You had another day, and Zeke was full

97
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: as well. So that's good Tyring and Zeke seeing them

98
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: upgraded to full. I think's encouraging for both guys. Do

99
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: you think that Zeke it's a it's a is it

100
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: a knee? Is it a side? And he basically said

101
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: it only hurts when he falls, was his quote earlier

102
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: in the week. So is this a thing that you

103
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: would consider resting him for to let him play through?

104
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: Its occupational hazard? Right there? Right, it's my understanding, that's

105
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: a contusion. It's a it's a bruise, so it's a

106
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: it's a pain tolerance thing, and Zeke ain't gonna sit

107
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: out from pain tolerance. So it's kind of what I figured. Yeah,

108
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: I just wanted to hear it from you as well.

109
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: But then, uh, what was the Oh, Michael Parsons had

110
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: a fantastic quote yesterday too. I'm sure you guys saw that.

111
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: You'd get a chance to see that about the rookie

112
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: wall Rob. You were there for that that interview. What

113
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: was the what was the quote? That's my favorite quote

114
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: from Michael yet, and that's saying something because he's got

115
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: some great ones. He said, everybody talks about the rookie wall.

116
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: But I'm just gonna keep climbing over it, climbing and

117
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: climbing because I'm excited to see on what's on the

118
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: other side. Does that make you want to run through

119
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: the wall? Makes me want to run through the wall?

120
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: Zooka on the shoulder, Man, this is uh. I'm just

121
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: excited about him. I mean I can't. I don't know

122
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: how Dan Quinn each and every week is gonna use him.

123
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: So when when the game starts, he's just like, Okay,

124
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: he's at edge, He's he's a free safety. You know,

125
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: he's he's at cornerback. Oh my god, he's playing running back. Wait,

126
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: you know where can't Yeah, where can't this guy play?

127
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: Where can he play? What can't he do? I mean,

128
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: we have a special athlete, and I think we've been

129
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: down playing it over the year, over the this season

130
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: because he's just showing so many different things. But you know,

131
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: specially when you see it man, and just some of

132
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: the things that he brings to the table for us

133
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: and the missing pieces that we have with guys that

134
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: are out. Micah is just filling in that void. Uh. Man,

135
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: It's just I'm glad he's a cowboy no doubt, Isaiah,

136
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: I know you're glad as well. Yeah, I mean he's special,

137
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: he said. He he's different. He's different, and some guys

138
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: are built different physically, and some guys are built different mentally,

139
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: and then the really special guys are built differently on

140
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: both ends of that. And I think that he is that.

141
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: I think that he welcomes adversity. I think he welcomes challenges.

142
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: He welcomes people telling him what he can't do and

143
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: what the what the normal is. He likes defying those things.

144
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: And there's those there are those players like Thomas Brady

145
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: who has that type of mentality he wants to defy

146
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: all odds. And then you have guys who have the

147
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: physical ability as well, and you pair both of those

148
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: things up and it's that that's what you call a

149
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: physical and mental specimen. There's a tweet from ESPN Stats

150
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: and Information this morning. He's on pace for one hundred

151
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: and five tackles in thirteen and a half sacks, So

152
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: it's it's over seventeen games instead of sixteen. But the

153
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: last player to hit both of those marks in a

154
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: season was Bruce Smith. That's company right there. Yeah, I

155
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: can as your question because I had a question about this.

156
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: When the league changed, the game, changed the seasons to

157
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: seventeen games, how are records going to be analyzed? Now?

158
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: Great question, there's no asterist. I don't think so, there's

159
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: no as I mean, can you think about a league

160
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: that didn't even count sacks for a certain period of times?

161
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: It's they haven't changed that either. So so somebody goes

162
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: out and breaks to the all time sack record in

163
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: seventeen games, but they wouldn't have done it in sixteen games.

164
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: They now become the doubt league best ever in that position,

165
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like that point, Yeah, you

166
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: got to kind of take it per game, I guess

167
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: if you really wanted. I mean, how do they do that? Right? Like,

168
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: it's really the only way Emmett Smith's record could be touched,

169
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: the fact that there's an extra game or Jerry Rice Jr.

170
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: Touched Yeah, yeah, extra. I wondered about the game making

171
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: it a year. I'm like, that's kind of unfair to

172
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: guys from the past, just shows how great they are. True,

173
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: that's true, that's true, but but the take but for

174
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: there to be potentially having their their throne taking away

175
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: from them knowing that it only happened because of an

176
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: additional game. I feel like that's wrong. There were guys

177
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: that had their records taken from them whenever they pushed

178
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: it to a sixteen game game season two, because it's

179
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: not always been a sixteen game season at the same time,

180
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: so you can say the same thing previously. Oh yeah,

181
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: it was fourteen until the eighties. Yeah, so you could

182
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: say the same thing. Every time you expand the schedule,

183
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: the records are going to start falling. And maybe that's

184
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: part of it. Yes, it's a part of the expansion there,

185
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: and sure, I mean the capital side of it is

186
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: certainly the driving force, but also the entertainment of trying

187
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: to break some more. And that's brought up something else.

188
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: I was thinking about what I would like to see

189
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: next year. Maybe the competition committee could get to this

190
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: two bye weeks. That's gonna bother some people, but I

191
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: think for the health, I think for the health of teams,

192
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: you have to include another bye week if you're gonna

193
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: go seventeen games. Yeah, I just think you could tell

194
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: right now with the way that teams are beat up,

195
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: are the way that teams are having to hold certain

196
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: guys back knowing that you have seventeen instead of sixteen,

197
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: it would only make sense. And what if it extends

198
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: the football season out until after Valentine's Day, I think

199
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: we'll be okay on cbas the only way that's gonna

200
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: go down to there. Okay, we'll do that. If you

201
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: want up twenty games, YEA, twenty games. Yeah, I'm just

202
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: telling you how it's gonna gon gonna add another game.

203
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: If you're gonna have three games, we're headed eighteen games,

204
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: so it's going to add So I think I don't

205
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: know this, but I assume the PA would push for

206
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: that because I think that's eighteen games twenty weeks is

207
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: what it's probably gonna end up. Agree weeks. A lot

208
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: it depends on the scheduling, but yes, yeah, a lot

209
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: of those are stacked stacked up in the first week

210
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: of the season, last week of the season, so that way,

211
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: it kind of it's it's a weird start date in

212
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: terms of college but it depends, and there's always three

213
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: weeks in between a bowl game, so yeah, right, you

214
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: got a lot of time. All right, let's talk about

215
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas defense and this Cowboys offense. Vegas Raiders

216
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: on defense the highest rated pass rush as a team

217
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: according to Pro Football Focus entering the week. A bigger

218
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: reason for that Max Crosby, Yanna King, Douay, both of

219
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: them off of the edge, really big players. He got

220
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: kJ right at the second level. He's been playing decent.

221
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: So they have some guys in the front seven, the

222
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: secondary a bit depleted. They of course lost their first

223
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: round pick from two seasons ago, two drafts ago. I

224
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: should say, Damon Arnette. He is no longer with the team,

225
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: and so they are a bit thin out there, and

226
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: well they get after the quarterback. But that's about it. Gentlemen,

227
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: what do you what do you see from this this

228
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: Vegas defense? They scare me. I'm not even gonna lie.

229
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: They scare me. You clip that too, yeah, clip that

230
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: they do. They scare me. I don't like it. We

231
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: saw with what one man playing with his hair and

232
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: fire could do. Chris Jones. Chris Jones. Now they have two.

233
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: These guys have two and they're on they're on the edges,

234
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: and there's another strong guy sitting in the middle of

235
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: their defense at the second level. If you decide to

236
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: go up the middle, he's waiting on you as well.

237
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: Their secondary I agree their secondary is depleted, but gauess

238
00:12:55,559 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: what our receiving chore is depleted? Depleted. So I don't

239
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: like that. I don't. I don't like it. I'm just

240
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: telling y'all straight up. I don't like it. I don't.

241
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: I don't have a little feeling in my gut that

242
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: makes me feel a little in the bubble gubbles, the

243
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: bubble guts. I knew the bubble guts on a Wednesday.

244
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: Look at how we've struggled in past blocking, okay, and

245
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: look at what they do best past rushing, past rushing. Weird.

246
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: Their weak spot, which we would like to expose, is

247
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: their secondary. We're down our top two guys possibly put

248
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: that in quotations. Yeah, with CD. So we have to

249
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: get a ground game. To get a ground game, I'm

250
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: not saying I think that. I think Kellen Moore is

251
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: smart enough to scheme up some stuff and get this

252
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: taken care of. But I do believe that if we

253
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: go into this game dropping the balls and being inefficient

254
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: and effective with our passing accuracy and things of that

255
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: nature like we did last week, there this could be

256
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: a problem. What do you think, Well, well, it looks

257
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: I've been watching the tape just like you guys have.

258
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's a it's a good news bad news scenario,

259
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: and like most people, you want the bad news first.

260
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: The bad news is is that they're gonna play you

261
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: exactly like everybody else's playing you because of the league

262
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: bids such a copycat league. They are going to put

263
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: a lot of guys in the box and they are

264
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: going to dare Dak to beat them. I think at

265
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: this point in Dak's career that is a welcome challenge.

266
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: Even though he saw that from Atlanta, he has the

267
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: potential with all of his arsenal of weapons there to

268
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: expose that because people can't do that when you have

269
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: Amari CD and Gallup it's just hard to do it.

270
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: But when you're handicapped like we are that you watch

271
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: the Raiders, they crowd the line of scrimmage, Max Crosby

272
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: and Dockway man, it's going to be a challenge for

273
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: us on the outside, and that's why Tyren Smith is

274
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: so important. But the good news, the good news is

275
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: is that Kellen Moore, like you just mentioned, can be

276
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: in his bag in a game like this to show

277
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: exactly how he's gonna get other pieces involved in this offense.

278
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: I think that the Raiders are going to dare Dalton

279
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: Schultz to beat them because they don't. They're gonna press

280
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: so much on the outside and line so close up

281
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: on the line of scrimmage that they are going to

282
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: allow him to be in one on one situations. And

283
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: I think that's where the nerve can be exposed and

284
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: that's where we can make some way. But as far

285
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: as our running game is concerned, this is a big, big,

286
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: big time game for a Pollard in seek and that's

287
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: actually what happened in the Chiefs game. But there's a

288
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: lot of open space for Scholtz in that that game.

289
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm with you, like I think it's I think there's

290
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: it's a good matchup, and it's not a good matchup

291
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: for the reasons you guys mentioned, Like you watch that

292
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: Bengals game with in Dockway and Crosby and they had

293
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: like a you know, first third down it was a

294
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: Burrow sandwich. They just met at the quarterback. And that's

295
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: if I don't want to call it a blueprint because

296
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: I think it's still too early say oh, Cowboys can't, can't,

297
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: can't beat this, But the Chiefs are known for blitzing.

298
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: They didn't have to blitz in that game. Nope. And

299
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos didn't have to blitz in that game,

300
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: and so can the Cowboys protection hold. You know, is

301
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: Dad gonna be enough in rhythm to make the throws

302
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: he needs to make, whether CD plays or not, that's

303
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: the question. And yeah, Tyrn being back would would absolutely

304
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: certainly help. But that's what it comes down to, I

305
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: think for me, because yeah, I mean that they play

306
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: man coverage and they're they're gonna drop guys into coverage

307
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: and clog the lanes and see what the Cowboys can

308
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: do on a scale of one to ten, scale of

309
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: one to ten, Tarren Steal at left tackle, what's your

310
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: confidence level in the amount of time Dak is able

311
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: to throw? And low lower than lower lower than lower

312
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: than I mean, but they're gonna get They would give

313
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: him help. I mean, you watch you watch the the

314
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: Raiders Bengals matchup. They put a bag, put p Rhyn

315
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: there and chip and all that stuff. That's what you

316
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: I think you'd have to do in this matchup. I

317
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: was gonna say, because once you gave me a number,

318
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: I was gonna give you one to ten Tyrn Smith's

319
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: at left tackle. How much of an increase is it

320
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: in terms of your confidence level between the two as

321
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't change a whole lot. No, it goes up considerably. Okay,

322
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: I just I do wonder, you know, is it if

323
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: he plays? Can he can he get through it without

324
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: any problems? You know? That's what when I asked Stephen

325
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: pre game how close was he to play in Sunday?

326
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: He said, once he gets back, they don't think it's

327
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: going to be an issue. Well, does three extra days

328
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: help that? You know? Are they just being really careful?

329
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: So we have to see on that if he does play,

330
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: and he'll be on the side of in Gockway, as

331
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: I believe, because Crosby doesn't travel right, he doesn't flip side.

332
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: He's usually on the right side. So it's gonna be

333
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: Lyle Collins against Max Crosby, and then it'll be in

334
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: Gockway versus Smith and or Steele. Well, I mean still,

335
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: I just know I'm with Pete. Yeah, you gotta get

336
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: this guy help. You gotta go twelve heavy if that's

337
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: the case. I you know, man, this is just gonna

338
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: be one of those matchups that from the edge they

339
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: have so much energy. These guys are they don't stop,

340
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: you know, the motor that Crosby has. And Crosby's a

341
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: local guy, uh, from from Chris Beams High School, Collyville

342
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: Heritage is in the third round of the playoffs here

343
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: and there we go. Yeah, of course they't know Crosby

344
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: was a pacer. Yeah, absolutely, But you know, it's just

345
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: he's constantly moving. And that's the one thing about him

346
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: that I think it's going may give Leo Collins some

347
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: some trouble because he didn't have a good game. We

348
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: talked a lot about other pieces, but Leo didn't have

349
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: a good game last week either. So, uh, in the

350
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: middle of their in the middle of their defense, I

351
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: think that's where we can make hay even on the

352
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: outside with Casey Hayward Junior, he reminds me a lot

353
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: of a cornerback that we used to have here. Uh,

354
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: the guy that didn't make any interceptions, but he didn't

355
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: give up. Byron Jones reminds me a lot of Barren Jones.

356
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: And so I just think that, you know, man and

357
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: man with CD, I'm really looking forward to that matchup

358
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: or with Gallup or whomever. I'm just saying I'm looking

359
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: forward to that matchup to see if they can stop

360
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: our guys. I say, his look right now, he's just

361
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: looking at the ceiling, just thinking about not having cd

362
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: LA And then I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't.

363
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: I'm not brit Or Jimbo. So I'm not gonna I

364
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: can't sit up here and say that it's not gonna

365
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: get Yeah, but I don't think he's gonna be. There

366
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: haven't been somebody who's had a concussion before a number

367
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: of times. I don't see CD player. Um, because even

368
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: if he does get on the field, it takes one

369
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: hit and those guys know he's concussed some somewhat and

370
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: recently as of late, they're gonna take a shot at

371
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: him in there. They'll take a late hit call to

372
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: make sure that he gets out of the game. Not

373
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: to say that there's killers on the field, but that's

374
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: what they do. Um, we're gonna check it's it's yeah,

375
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna make sure and it's the same thing retiring.

376
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: You know, I do agree, obviously. Tyrann's a huge upgrade

377
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: from Terren Steele. Terren Steel does his best to fill

378
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: in when he can um. But even if Tyrn does

379
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: play these ends, to your point, it's one thing to

380
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: play against a really good defensive end. And you know,

381
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: out of those sixty snaps you might have, you know,

382
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: say you have, you know, thirty five passes, you know

383
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: you have you have passed back on those gut thirty

384
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: five times, maybe you could stop him majority of the time.

385
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: You know, maybe there's one play on most guys that

386
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: that you're good with, you know, and then they just

387
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: get you that one time. These guys, that percentage goes

388
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: up drastically because they just don't stop. When you play

389
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: some guys, you stuff them, you might muffin boom, get

390
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: a little pancake, and they are You don't have to

391
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: worry about them for the next three or four plays,

392
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: because they got they gotta charge back up. I don't

393
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: know what these guys are on. I really don't know

394
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: what they're on. They're on, they're on something. I don't

395
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: know what kind of energy drink they're drinking, but they're

396
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: both juiced up and they're coming yeah and there and there.

397
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: And I know their defensive coordinator. Defensive coordinator was with

398
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: me in Seattle, Gus Bradley, and I had him as

399
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: a head coach in Jacksonville. He's the energizer bunny. That's

400
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: why I do like this matchup in summer because Bradley's

401
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: a hell of a coach. But there's there's there's that

402
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: DNA between he and Quinn. Yeah, they understand it. Yeah,

403
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys scheme, I mean the offense is familiar

404
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: with that DNA of that scheme. Quinn Quinn was underneath Bradley. Yeah,

405
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: Quinn Quinn replaced Bradley after he went to Jacksonville, So

406
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 1: I think they're that familiarity might might help. And look,

407
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: Terrence Steele was much better against Atlanta at home. I

408
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: think the crowd noise and all that stuff not do

409
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: him any favors. Obviously with the one snap where he

410
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: and Elsie both together did not get off the ball. Um,

411
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: I think he'll be better. He's a competitor, but yeah,

412
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 1: it's a it's a tough challenge for anybody. I wouldn't

413
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: feel at ten with anybody against these two guys. Yeah,

414
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: it kind of goes back. You've said this before on

415
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: this show, Isaiah about how high motors sometimes give you

416
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: more of a longer day than high talent. But The

417
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: thing is with both of these guys, I mean, and

418
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: Goquoy's got talent too, and Max Crosby certainly has talent.

419
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: He's having as good of a year as anybody, and

420
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: they've got the motor which kind of scares me, scares

421
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: you on that combination side. Yeah, it's it's rough and

422
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: and it could be. It could be a good day

423
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: if our receivers show up and played their best day.

424
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: I'd just say that if if our current guys that

425
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: we know are going to play, said said Noah Gallup Schultz,

426
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: Charln Schultz, and I would imagine that Simmy Fooco is

427
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: going to have his coming out opportunity has to turn two.

428
00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: But I think Simmy has to be active for this

429
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: even if even if even if CD plays, I think

430
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: you have to bring send me up just because you

431
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: know there's a chance that he might get put back out.

432
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: I would that's the approach I would take. I want

433
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: to see him take some snatch he need, he needs

434
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: a g and actually get some targets. I want to

435
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: see what he can do. That'd be a heck of

436
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: a of a coming out party and a Thanksgiving game. Yeah,

437
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: I almost had a touchdown on Thanksgiving, Dame dam what

438
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: was that story? Like, No, I just kick return? Which

439
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: which which game? Seattle? Actually again Seattle? It was again

440
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: Seattle with the whole stadium. Yeah, almost had it. I

441
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: was mad. I was waiting on a block. I should

442
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: have just went what year? Remember? Had him been eight?

443
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: Had Hi been away? Yeah? Well I do almost burn

444
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: you more than actually because I was wat. I was

445
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: waiting on a teammate to take care of something for

446
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: me right now. It was like and like he just

447
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: didn't take care of it. And my boy, Jordan Babineau

448
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: from Seattle, he got he came and got me. I said,

449
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: you bastard, and my family was right there. I think

450
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: I got it to like just over the fifty or something.

451
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: I was mad, so like a decent return. It was

452
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: a good return. It should have been the should have

453
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: housed it. Anyways, I think we can't exploit these guys,

454
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: but it has to be on the ground. Got to

508
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: doing what I feel a disservice. I'm impressed by. It

509
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: was the It was the back and form with the

510
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: mic for me before trying something different. You are R

511

Speaker 1: and B singer in another life. Sure of that? Not exactly?

512
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: Talk about genuine all right, so anxious final two segments

513
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: before we take on the Raiders on Thanksgiving, Let's find

514
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: the run game. Heck, where has it been? And why

515
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: has there not been any effectiveness on the ground? Man,

516
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: it's it's been. I feel as though Zeke has been hurt.

517
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,959
Speaker 1: No one's made said anything about it, but you know

518
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: there's something going on the way that he gets up

519
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: after he would say it's falling down. That hurts the

520
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: first Yeah, just seeing him get up and he's been

521
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 1: dealing with these nagging injuries. Just it hadn't been the

522
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: same as far as that pop that you saw from

523
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: the first couple of games. It's kind of slowed down.

524
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: And I mean, obviously as we get these breaks and

525
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: these guys, this isn't like another buy for us, because

526
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: once they get past the Saints game, they're gonna have

527
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: an extended period of time that they're gonna be off

528
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: as well. Just gotta get this guy healthy and I

529
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 1: think offensively, offensive line wise, we just hadn't had the

530
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: continuity that we've been talking about. When you're missing Tyrant Smith.

531
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: That's a big part of your success that you haven't.

532
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's all calls in effect, and

533
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, we just hadn't been able to establish it.

534
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: We get a big run, we get a big game,

535
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: and we go back airborne. So we've just got to

536
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: in this game specifically, we've just got to dedicate ourselves

537
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: to playing smash mouth football. We are averaging eighty eight

538
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: yards per game rushing total as a team the last

539
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: four games. Wow, it's not great. Nah, not ideal. That's

540
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: a problem. That's a problem. I'm not sure where stemming from.

541
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's because we've been in some

542
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: games that that has required us to try to throw

543
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 1: our way out of it. Um. I don't know if

544
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: it's the injuries to Zeke. I'm pretty sure that the

545
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: coaches are fully aware of how healthy he is. But

546
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: regardless of what the issue is they did, they have

547
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: to address it because we can't go back to what

548
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: Dallas cannot go back to what they did week one,

549
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: and that is throw the ball. Yeah, Bannon a run

550
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: and throw the ball fifty times, and I feel like

551
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: that's eight back to I feel like it's getting back today. Yeah.

552
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: We ran for sixty yards in that opening game, and

553
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: last week we ran for eighty two twenty two more

554
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: yards about that it was sixty then one, sixty two,

555
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: forty five twenty two. That was before the bye week.

556
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: After the bye week, seventy eight seven fourteen against Atlanta,

557
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: But a lot of that was late kind of salting

558
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: the game away in the second half. Eighty two, So

559
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean, since the bye week, the Cowboys

560
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: just have not run the ball effectively. And yes, you

561
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: can put the Atlanta game up there as much as

562
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: you want, but in terms of winning that game, you

563
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: didn't need the run to win that game. You needed

564
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: that run to run out the clock in the second half.

565
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: So a lot of that was kind of taken with

566
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: a grain of salt. Whereas New England you needed the

567
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: established to run early. New York same thing. Carolina. Certainly

568
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: they won that game because of the run game. So

569
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: what has been the chance is that just a Kellen

570
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: Moore thing run? Um? Well, the Denver game got out

571
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: of hand. Obviously, they tried to run four thounds early,

572
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: didn't get it. Um, maybe there's some candy out there

573
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: with the man covers on the outside and they loved

574
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: their one on one matchups with their outside receivers. M

575
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: nick Eman did have a stat yesterday on media match

576
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna butcher it, but it was something like

577
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: they ran sixteen times against the Chiefs and they ran

578
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: ten times on first down and got like two points

579
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: something yards per first down. So like his his his

580
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: thought on that is you get yourself in second and long,

581
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: you know, get yourself out of it with the pass. Yes, Um,

582
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: but I but I would go back to the Minnesota

583
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: game where they didn't run it too well three point

584
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: three yards to carry, but they stuck with it. They

585
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: had twenty four carries, and we're just like persistent with it.

586
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: And why did you do that in the Minnesota game

587
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: because you had Cooper rush? Yes, but but I think

588
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: that would help DA's Dak's dak. But like when you

589
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: got some changes on your offensive line, whether Tyrant plays

590
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: or not. You got McGovern making his second start at

591
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,719
Speaker 1: left guard, help you help your young linemen out, you know,

592
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: where they're not in pass pro all the time, especially

593
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: against this front that we just talked about last segment. Yeah,

594
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: seven games, seven games left. Zeke's at six hundred and

595
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: ninety five yards. He is sixth in the league. Even

596
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: with those numbers, he still has everything in front of

597
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: him to to play, you know, to get those numbers up,

598
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: if that's what you know statistically where he wants to be. Um.

599
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: I think that Tony Pollard has done a really good

600
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: job filling in at times. But we know that Tony

601
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: Pollard is not the blocker uh that Zeke is, and

602
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: so it's it's twofold for me. We point out the offense,

603
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: the offensive line, but I also think that defenses are

604
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: daring us to continue to try and run. And you

605
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: go back to the Tampa Bay game where Keller Moore says,

606
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, after the after the game was over, well

607
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: why didn't you run it more? And he says, I'm

608
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: not going to just continue to run until this front,

609
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: you know, run into a brick wall. I'm gonna try

610
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: and do some other things. And I think that's been

611
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: the model of what he's been thinking, especially with teams

612
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: willing to live and die in press man coverage. I

613
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: think I think that third down, uh, the fact that

614
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: you just brought up is another reason why we haven't

615
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: seen as much TP as well, because we've been throwing

616
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: so much on third down. He's not the blocker that

617
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: Zeke is, and we have had issues with protection, so

618
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: you make sure that your best blocking back is in there.

619
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: So I think that has hindered Pollard's ability to be

620
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: on the field as much as he has in the past,

621
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: even when he was as effective as a runner and

622
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: as the ball carrier like he was laid in the

623
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: game against Kansas City. He wasn't on the field a

624
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: whole lot, even with a bang dub Zeke because just

625
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: based off back, you needed more protection for Dad. What

626
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: has happened to Pollard as a receiver though? That was

627
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: a mail back question this week maybe for today, and

628
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: I don't disagree. I mean, that's one of the things though,

629
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: that you have to if you're gonna be in there,

630
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: if you're a third down back, right, if you're a

631
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: change of pace third down back, you have to be

632
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: able to handle your blocking responsibilities first, because a lot

633
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: of the receiving that comes from a running back comes

634
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: after you have checked your protection first. So your swing routes,

635
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: your option routes, you know, your arrows, all those kind

636
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: of things that you run out the backfield, they come

637
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: after you check your protection first. If your protection is

638
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: secure and you're good, I can get out and run

639
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: my route. But if you're not blocking well, then you're

640
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: not going to be in that position. I'm not saying

641
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: that he's not blocking well. I gotta go back and

642
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: watch the film, but that's my assumption is that because

643
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: of how effective Zeke has been in the blocking game

644
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: at that position. I just rather have Zeke in there. Yeah.

645
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: Well I just I was just thinking if you if

646
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: you don't have CD and I think they're still hopeful

647
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: of that, but if they don't, then he could go

648
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: more two back sets. You could put him back there together.

649
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying put Tony out wide all the time,

650
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: but he does. I mean going back to Memphis, he

651
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: does have that that skill set that they really haven't

652
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: used a lot now three years. No, he could route run.

653
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: He can be a good route runner. He's not gonna

654
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: be a wide receiver. He's not gonna win his battle

655
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: of the line, but he runs great routes from this lot.

656
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: And we saw that in No Tas at training camp,

657
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: the way that he was running round and they haven't

658
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: used that two back set like we've seen at OTAs

659
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: in training camp. And then he saw it earlier in

660
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: the year, Yeah with mcgover. You saw it with McGovern

661
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: and Williams back there. Uh. The only game where Tony

662
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: Pollard has more than four receptions and more than thirty

663
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: yards receiving the Atlanta game when he had six receptions

664
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: on seven targets for fifty six yards. Like I said,

665
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: a lot of that late. Every other game it's been

666
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: two receptions one, one, three, four, zero and zero targets

667
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: in that game as well, one reception for five yards

668
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: against philadelph Not great numbers as a receiver for Tony Pollard.

669
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: So maybe without ceedee Lamb, I think I agree with

670
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: you guys, and you said this earlier or two about

671
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: Dalton Scholtz. I think Dalton Schultz needs to have a

672
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: bigger game and has to have a bigger role. Same

673
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: thing with Tony Pollard. Use him as a wide receiver,

674
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,280
Speaker 1: use him out of the backfield, kind of get creative

675
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: with the way that you split those backs out wide,

676
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: because especially if there's going to be pressure coming off

677
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: the edge, it might be an opportunity to sneak it

678
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: out there and get some extra yards and a couple

679
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: of extra blockers out in front. It look like you

680
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: had something mad there. No, I'm just I'm just looking

681
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: at these stats. I'm not a big stat guy, but

682
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: I think it does play a part in terms of

683
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: our success at the Dallas success already past four weeks.

684
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: We're two and two over the last four weeks, all right,

685
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: and we're one hundred yard rushing game out of those

686
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: four games for us. Every game our opponent has had

687
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: one hundred yards rushing over the last four weeks. And

688
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: that's just not a Dallas stat. That's not something that's

689
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: indicative of a reflective of our DNA. I want to change.

690
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: If you want to look on the other side, a

691
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: positive stat is the fact that they haven't allowed one

692
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 1: hundred yard receiver since Week five. So the passing defense,

693
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: or at least the air attack hasn't been nearly as

694
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: successful against the Cowboys secondary as it had been. If

695
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: you told me that before the game, kind of what

696
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: Heck said after the game, if you're gonna hold Tyreek

697
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: Hill and Travis Kelsey to to receiving yards in the

698
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: seventies when the game, That's what it came out of

699
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: my mouth. Taken every day, Yeah, Rusher, no touchdowns for

700
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, but not just sad. But in that same breath,

701
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: let's let's put it where this this game actually needs

702
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: to be on Dak's shoulders. Dak has got to come out,

703
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: He's got to be sharp. You know, so much was

704
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: made of that first throw to Michael Gallup, and I

705
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: love what Babe Laufenberg said. If you thought that blew

706
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: the game. Then you're wrong because Michael gallipood Goes scored

707
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: touchdown on that play. Maybe it would have gone for

708
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: thirty forty yards, but look, that didn't blow the game.

709
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: Dak has to start fast, he has to be sharp,

710
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: he has to make key reads. A lot of this again,

711
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be on him the start we gotta have.

712
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: We talked yesterday about the Las Vegas and their capability,

713
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: their lack of big play ability in having slow, methodical drives.

714
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: We have to mirror that. We have to have slow

715
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: methodical drives. We've got to take that just pretty much

716
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 1: the wind out of their sales immediately, because they are

717
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: going to want to pressure, they are going to want

718
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: to try and play us aggressively. We've got to match that.

719
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: At three o'clock, I have a question, Yes, thank you.

720
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: Can we ask every time you want to ask? Soos

721
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: coming good home training? Can the Dallas Cowboys win this

722
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,439
Speaker 1: game without rushing for a hundred yards? Oh? I would

723
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: say no. I don't think they can. I guess they

724
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: could if they just dominate on the outside or with

725
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: Schultz and they just you know, you're talking with specific

726
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 1: scenario and the personnel that's going to be available. I'm saying, gallup,

727
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: Noah Brown, Cedric Wilson, at your as your receivers in,

728
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: Malik Turner and send me for Hoko No and Isaiah

729
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: standpack No, no, no, no, those checks have stopped. No,

730
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: that's that you put it that way with that lineup,

731
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, you need to, like you said, you

732
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: need to pound it. You need to you know, rush

733
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: twenty five thirty times, and so you gotta get to

734
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: a hundred Dudes. Does Dallas win this game without getting

735
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: two hundred yards on the ground. No, I don't think so.

736
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: If CD doesn't play, no, no, unless it's like a

737
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: three to nothing game, and that would just be wild

738
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,399
Speaker 1: in its own right. But that's hard, that's I mean, Look,

739
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: that's you talk about what's been ailing us and why

740
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: we haven't had a lot of success in these games

741
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 1: that we've lost. We haven't been able to get the

742
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 1: ground game established. Therefore, the defense has been able to

743
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: key off on everything that we do. Now that we

744
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: have missing pieces, hell, that just makes that stat that

745
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: you're talking about even more important. So, no, we have

746
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: to establish the ground game because everything else that Dak

747
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: is gonna do is gonna be predicated on what we

748
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: do in the run. We can't run, I asked question.

749
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: I asked that question because if CD's out, if you're

750
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinate, if you're Gus Bradley, who's a freaking

751
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: genius of a defensive coordinator, what are you taking away?

752
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take away to run. I'm taking away to

753
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: run because I might my best matchup, or I guess

754
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 1: the worst matchup I have is Gallup versus Desmond Truefont,

755
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: who's a veteran corner in this league, respectable right everybody else.

756
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 1: I feel pretty confident about If I'm Gus Bradley, I'm

757
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: not threatened by your receivers. Without CD and Coop on

758
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,720
Speaker 1: the field, I trust, I would wholeheartedly trust that Desmond

759
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 1: Truefont can hold his own. I'm not gonna say that

760
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna win every battle, but definitely true he's no

761
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,280
Speaker 1: punk now he can hold his own against Gallup. Gallups

762
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: gonna win something, he gonna lose something. The Olidified another day. Okay,

763
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 1: the rest of your corners, the rest of your corners

764
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 1: out there, that the rest of the corners that the

765
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: Raiders have, I don't think that they're gonna be threatened

766
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: by are by the person of the Dallas has on

767
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: the field. You can't include a Friday quote. Do you

768
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: guys understand I'm getting that. I agree with I'm gonna

769
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: press the crap out of those guys, and you're saying

770
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: they may be a little too banged up offensively to

771
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: get this done. Potentially. Potentially, Yeah, I don't because because

772
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: their personnel, their defense has not played amazing. No, right,

773
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: their defense has not played amazing. They're they're they're pass rushes, pashes.

774
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: Everything else is not that great. But when you know

775
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: that you're playing at the wounded animal, you change your style,

776
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: change your style up. For Michael Gallant, we've talked about

777
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: him as a true number two receiver. He's in the

778
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: contract year and obviously he doesn't view himself that way.

779
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: He's got to view himself as an apex as well.

780
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: How big is this opportunity for him or is it

781
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: one of those things or if you're not used to

782
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: being the number one guy the target is that something

783
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: that's the lights to bright? Basically, this is his resume game.

784
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: This is his resume game as a number one to

785
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 1: the rest of the league. CD doesn't play if CD

786
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: doesn't play, the rest of the league is gonna be

787
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: looking at this game and say, what did you do

788
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: when you were the number one guy? And this is

789
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: a chance for him. We'll see how he does it

790
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: when we come back. We got to make our predictions.

840
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: you were bad. The only game you got right was

841
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 1: the Cowboys game when he was well, actually, that's a fact,

842
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: because you have the best record in picking Cowboys games,

843
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: but the worst record overall. You're twenty and thirty two overall,

844
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: but you're eight and two in Cowboys games. Man, that's

845
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: got a hurt um. Now, heckma went three and three,

846
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:33,960

Speaker 1: two and four, and on Rob Phillips, who also went

848
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: two and four, So the fans have a one game

849
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: lead on Rob. Rob and Heckma are now tied at

850
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: thirty five and twenty seven overall. That's what I was

Speaker 1: gotta gotta check from here on out. Be from Ohio.

866
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: Actually he was by far the worst fan pick him

867
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: of the entire season. Don't be from Ohio. Don't be

868
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: b from Ohio. All right, we got first game on

869
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: the way, the Bears at the Lions. We're gonna do

870
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,479
Speaker 1: all three Thanksgiving games, so let's start with the Bears

871
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: at the Lions. And there's rumors around Matt Nagy is

872
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: he going to last after this game? Playing on the

873
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 1: road and Detroit. We'll start with you, Isaiah Bears. The

874
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: Bears win it, yeah, okay, Rob Bears, Martz Bears, Okay,

875
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: are you gonna go for the first win of the year.

876
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: You know, I think this is I think they're getting close,

877
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: and I think right now with the turmoil that the

878
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: Bears are end that this would be a prime opportunity

879
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,919
Speaker 1: for the Lions to win it, but they just won't

880
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: do it. I'm goining Bears on this one. I'm going

881
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: with the Lions. The Lions to win it at home.

882
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna get it done. Yeah, yeah, I'm

883
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 1: doing it all right. The other Thanksgiving game Bills at

884
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: the Saints, Martez, what you got, Bill? Oh? Good? One

885
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: at the Saints on I guess that's the nighttime slot.

886
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: Both are running backs are hurt. I'm just gonna go

887
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 1: with the Bill. Okay, that's a good, good one. That's

888
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: a good one. What do you think. I'm going with

889
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: the Mafia and this one as well. Um, Saints just

890
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: hadn't been playing well since uh the quarterback went down.

891
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: So okay, Bills, bounce back Bills. Bounce back Bills are

892
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 1: due to win one here. New Orleans has won five

893
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: straight games against Buffalo. Wow, that straight comes to a

894
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: close history. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna pick the Saints

895
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: on that one. All I mean, excuse me, the Buffalo

896
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: flo Bills, Buffalo Bills. I'm tracking the Bills. I'm picking

897
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: the Bills. I'm I'm not attracting. I'm picking the Bills.

898
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: I misspoke. I'm sorry. So Buccaneers at the Colts, this

899
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: is a really good game. I'm gonna pick the Colts

900
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: at home to take down Tom Brady. I think Jonathan

901
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 1: Taylor is just on another level right now. Mark Tess,

902
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 1: who you got I'm going to buck don't with the Bucks.

903
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: Ah man, I'm gonna go with the Colts on this one.

904
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 1: I think Colts at home that's gonna be tough. And

905
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: you talk about the running games, so I think Colts

906
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: and Vita Vea is still going. I'm gonna try to

907
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: gain a game on heck, and it's Tom Brady Bucks. Wait,

908
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 1: so who did you just pick the Colts? The Colts? Okay,

909
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,879
Speaker 1: I didn't play the last game, and yeah, he's banged

910
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: up a little bit, all right, Rams at the Packers.

911
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 1: This is a fun one as well. Two teams that

912
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: coming off of losses but still contenders in the number

913
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 1: one seed for the NFC East or I mean, excuse me,

914
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:10,399
Speaker 1: the NFC seating. Let's start with you, Rob Rams. Can't

915
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: see the Rams losing three straight. Take the Rams. Okay,

916
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:16,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Rams as well. I think

917
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: the weather kind of concerns me being in Green Bay,

918
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: but I'm with you. I just don't see them sliding

919
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: out like this. So give me the Packers at Lambeau. Okay, yeah,

920
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: there you got hackers. Don't pack game though it will.

921
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,240
Speaker 1: I think I think Beckham's gonna have hell of a game, Okay,

922
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: Martes Ramsey shuts down Adams, then they get a much

923
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: needed one. I hope that doesn't happen just because Ramsey

924
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: Adams is on my fantasy team. So I don't want

925
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 1: that to happen. Uh, Vikings at the forty Niners, Minnesota

926
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: at San Francisco, both teams at five and five, and

927
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: both teams coming off a big wins. Rob forty nine

928
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: ers at home. M Okay, yeah, same, forty nine is

929
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: at home for Isaiah. You know, coach, the Vikings head

930
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: coach is one of my favorite people now, and yeah,

931
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 1: he's one of my favorite people. But I uh, I'm

932
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:20,240
Speaker 1: gonna go forty nine. Us Zimmer's winning on the field

933
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: this week as well. Let's say he wins on the

934
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: road at San Francisco and Minnesota Vikings get the win. Martz,

935
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: who do you think I'm gonna Do you like that?

936
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: You like your cousins going Kirk cousins? Okay, I see you,

937
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 1: all right. Cowboys hosting the Raiders. Dallas has lost three

938
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 1: of their last four Thanksgiving games, and well they've beaten

939
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:50,320
Speaker 1: the Raiders twice on Thanksgiving and their last two Thanksgiving meetings.

940
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: So this one's gonna be fun. Rob will start, actually, Martz,

941
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: we'll start with you. I'm gonna say this is a

942
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:03,919
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore game. He needs this one because he's gonna

943
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 1: stay hot. Our running game Schematically, you look at the

944
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: all twenty two schematically, the running game has not been good.

945
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: So I'm hoping he gets some jet sweep going some

946
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: more wild. Can't going stop running behind Connor Will I'm sorry,

947
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: McGovern is, be honest. They're not strong enough. I'm just

948
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: gonna go. I'm hoping our defense can carry you tomorrow.

949
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go. Cowboys twenty three thirteen. Okay, defensive

950
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: minded game. I like it. Martz, thanks so much for

951
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,280
Speaker 1: joining us and for listening, and good luck out in Philly.

952
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: There he goes Martz, representing the fans this week. I'll

953
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 1: let Isaiah go next to last this week, so Rob,

954
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,439
Speaker 1: I'll let you start. I think the challenges we talked

955
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: about for the Cowboys offense are real, but I think

956
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: I think they'll be more comfortable at home. That includes

957
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:58,720
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Raiders give up the fourth most rushing

958
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: yards in the league, and I think the defense is

959
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 1: gonna get a couple takeaways in this game. I think

960
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 1: the Cowboys find a way to win this game something

961
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: like twenty seven twenty three. So I'm right there with you.

962
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 1: I was going to pull out the exact same stat

963
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: in terms of fourth most rushing yards allowed. Because when

964
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: I looked at that, I said, Okay, this is a

965
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 1: chance to get that ground game going. This is a

966
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,959
Speaker 1: jump starter, this is a catalyst. Let's get that going.

967
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: And I think the Cowboys in a very similar game,

968
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 1: very defensive minded, They're gonna get a couple takeaways. I

969
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys win it twenty seven twenty one, in

970
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,839
Speaker 1: a really close game, but ultimately I think they come

971
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: out on top. All right, Isaiah, who you got? You're

972
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: eight and soon picking the Cowboys twenty one seventeen. Oh,

973
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: I don't feel good about this one, guys. I don't

974
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,439
Speaker 1: like it. That's fair. I don't like it. I don't

975
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: think you're alone. I don't like it. I'm how to

976
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: go Raiders. Okay, you're going Raiders. Don't You're going back

977
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: to bat I got the bubble Gus got it right

978
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 1: last week. Bubble baby wipes. It's how he's gonna catch up,

979
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: switching it up, all right? Hecka Well, Look here's my

Speaker 1: of a sudden and I love it. I love it

Speaker 1: because you need to all in. Are you all out?

985
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: And we like it like that to say the same

986
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: team defensively, the guys said, I hope they come back

987
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: and they carry it. Look, we got the big case.

988
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be here, and you understand what the bazookas doing.
