20
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: I've never said that before. I don't think that much

21
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 1: of myself like that. How are you? Nick? I'm good. Good,

Speaker 1: Thanks for asking. No one gave you a hard time

23
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: about missing the show yesterday because they didn't really notice

24
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: or care. That's not I've had something to do with

25
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: being here for the first two that's true. Yeah, good point,

26
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: good point. You only missed one day, that is big

27
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: a deal. But this week you're at forty plus, Like

28
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: only one of the four people here takes the time

29
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: to like keep track of what day, what episode it is,

30
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: and like you know all that, you know, have your

31
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: own sign off and your own greeting and all that.

32
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: If you're gonna do it, do it with flair man. Okay,

33
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: you know, all right, let's tuck some Cowboys football. How

34
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: many pieces of flair? Thirty three, thirty seven? It's pretty good.

35
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: Catch me up on injuries, what's going on with those

36
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: uh those inside? Okay, Um, you did not participation for

37
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: three you know yesterday when we did the show with

38
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: Brian and I've had a good feeling yesterday that David

39
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: Irving would practice, and he did not. He did not.

40
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: So that's really that's that's what I'm looking at as

41
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: far as like really interesting developments. I think I feel

42
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: like the writing is probably on the Wall that Orlando

43
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: Scandrick's not quite ready, especially given that the secondary has

44
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: played well, no sense in rushing him back. James Hannah

45
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: upgraded to limited lyle Collins and Tyrn Smith both did

46
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: something yesterday, so uh, you know, Bryce Butler, same thing.

47
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: Like you kind of get the feeling that everything's sort

48
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: of rounding into shape except for your starting defensive tackle.

49
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: Have you guys talked to anybody about the concussion Eddie sustained?

50
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: And I mean it seems to be kind of lingering

51
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: a bit. It's now into the second week. I know,

52
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: all concussions are different. I'm dealing with that at home

53
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: right now. The concussions are different and and they don't

54
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: always progress the same way. They're not always the same way. Obviously.

55
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: Rico Gathers, who we saw getting a concussion back can

56
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: training camp, ended up in ir and still is not

57
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: practicing fully with the team or whatever. So have you

58
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: guys talk to anybody Is this one of those that's

59
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: just like, is it always just a situation where you

60
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: wait and see or they thinking that maybe this is

61
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: a worse concussion than than others that they've seen. Have

62
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: you heard anything that suggests, you know, what his status

63
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: really is like long term here. I think the only

64
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: thing we've really heard was that he was making progress,

65
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean anything if it was started out

66
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: really really bad. So I'm sure Rico's made progress. So

67
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: you know, I got the I got the sense that

68
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: he would probably play this week earlier this week. I

69
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: don't feel that way anymore, right because he's not practicing.

70
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: That's exactly how I felt. I kind of mean, you know,

71
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean, here's a guy that takes him, you know,

72
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: pretty much a nude picture of himself and puts it

73
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: on Instagram, you know, when he's not concussed. And so

74
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: it's what I'm saying, is is that never taking a

75
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: nude picture of yourself and put it on Instagram, you're

76
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: saying you have I'm just asking, like he made it

77
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: something like that was such a weird a MySpace thing.

78
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: You did it on MySpace, but never on Instagram. I'm

79
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: just saying, it's kind of crazy. He's a different cat,

80
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: that's okay. Trying to figure out if he's concussed or

81
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: not might not be the easiest thing to do, and

82
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: that may be the problem here that they're like, we

83
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: don't have a good base. We don't really know. I

84
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: wonder if I mean, you know, it's the guy that

85
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: was looking for his nipple ring at practice lost. He's

86
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: a different cat. There's no doubt I like David like you.

87
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: I just don't like David Irving. I don't like you

88
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: like he's the best he is. But I wonder, you know,

89
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: there's no I mean, he played with a concussion. That's

90
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: what he did. I mean he did. It's not like

91
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: he took a knock and exited and got evaluated like

92
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: he And that's the other part to it, too, is

93
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: that I guess you didn't see a moment in the

94
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: game when, like you know, sometimes you see a guy

95
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: you we saw Rico get hit and and we were like,

96
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: oh wow, that was a major hit. And and so

97
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: it didn't surprise anybody. I don't think now, as long

98
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: as he's been I was probably still surprising. But but

99
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: he didn't surprise anybody that that was something that was

100
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: gonna take a while. I don't remember that moment in

101
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: again in the game when David Irving, like when I

102
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: saw a hit and I was like, oh wow, no,

103
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: well problem, I guess, Well my point was gonna be,

104
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: is you know, didn't. I didn't. I saw him delivered

105
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: to somebody else. I didn't see him take the hit.

106
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: Was there a like that? Yes, he landed on his

107
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: back in that game, and I mean he he had

108
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: a hard time getting off the field. I thought he

109
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: was gonna be out right then, but he did come back.

110
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: But I know exactly that was that the one in

111
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: the Washington It was in the Washington game. Yeah, yeah,

112
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: it was in the Washington game because he came back

113
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: later and hit Cousins and then knocked him into Lawrence

114
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: earlier in that game. So this was before the hit on,

115
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: This was before the sack. Yeah, okay, yeah, this is

116
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: I mean not Rogers. Isn't good. I mean, obviously we

117
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: know this isn't a good situation because but he did

118
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: the play that I think happened on he he got

119
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: kind of flipped around and he landed up on his

120
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: neck and back, and he had a hard time getting

121
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: off the field. But but I my point was, I

122
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: wonder if they're being even more cautious, because, like I said,

123
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: it's not like you took the hit and then immediately

124
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: went into evaluation and you were done like he played

125
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: with it, which is I would assume even more dangerous.

126
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: So maybe they're using an abundance of caution in light

127
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: of that because he played the rest of a football game,

128
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: and that could also signal you can't trust the players.

129
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: It's a great point because if they if they if

130
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: he went on the sideline and didn't really tell anybody

131
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: and they didn't notice, they didn't see the hit to

132
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: say maybe there's something wrong or whatever the case might be,

133
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: if they were relying on his word and he just

134
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: was like, I'm good, I can go, Yeah, then maybe

135
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: they're kind of like, guy, we need to have more

136
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: testing and not really listen to the player on this one.

137
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: This time yesterday, I felt pretty good that he would play,

138
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: and I'm guessing I'm leaning more towards not now. Okay,

139
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: So that's that's the big one for me. So obviously

140
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: Scandrick has had I mean the with the back problems.

141
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: He probably is not I wouldn't assume is gonna play

142
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: at this point. Talking about Bryce Butler, he's got the

143
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: foot injury. Last week when he popped up on the

144
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: injury or where we were kind of like, well, we

145
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen. Now it's into a

146
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: second week. Is this a little more serious than to

147
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: maybe what we assumed initially, Yes, because I know he

148
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: wants to do anything and everything to play in this game.

149
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: He wants to play against his former team, the team

150
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: that drafted him, in an area that he's really familiar with.

151
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: I mean he you know, well, I say that he's

152
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: from you know, college in California, not really up there,

153
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: but he went, you know, he obviously played for the Raiders,

154
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: and so he wants wants to play in this game

155
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: and even said he was fine missing last week's game

156
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: if he could play this week. But I think he's

157
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: getting caught up in a couple of other things. I

158
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: don't think it's just the situation of his foot. I

159
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: think that it maybe Noah Brown is close enough to

160
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: take in some of those snaps that you put the

161
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: injury on top of that, but that wouldn't keep him

162
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: out of practice. Then I wouldn't keep him out of practice,

163
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: but it might keep being active, Yeah, which is important

164
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: for him because he's on a one year deal and

165
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: after this year he's got to go out into free

166
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: agency and try to find another deal. And when he's

167
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: missing games with her not being able to put David

168
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: type of thing. Yeah, you know, I mean they want

169
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: to they want to put these He already missed some

170
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: games too, so yeah, I think that factors into these

171
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: guys telling trainers that they're good. I got him good,

172
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm good. Yeah. The thing about a receiver is it's

173
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: different than a concussion. You got a foot injury for

174
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: a receiver. You you know, if you're not very fast,

175
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: everybody can see it. Yeah, and that's his thing. He is.

176
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: He speed, speed guy. That's what he brings to the table.

177
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: Speed pretty much theoretically not not speed enough for Nick,

178
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: but a speed guy. Nonetheless. Well, it's still the point

179
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: now that if you use saying Bolt doesn't come in

180
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: here with a cowboy helmet, I just don't care. And

181
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: it's just not it's not fast enough. When we were

182
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: at the Giants um, I asked him on the bus.

183
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard the conversation, Nick, but

184
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: he basically said that he was feeling around ninety five

185
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: percent whatever that means, but basically insinuating that he talking

186
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: about Bryce Ryce health wise. Yeah, because I asked him,

187
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: he said the same injury. You know, back from training him,

188
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: He's like yeah, and he kind of explained me, it's

189
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: like certain, however, he steps on the foot and maybe

190
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: bothers him a little bit in a way. But he

191
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: was saying from the way, it sounded like he's feeling

192
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: close to being, you know, one, and to me surprising

193
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: to see that he hasn't practiced yet. Were you nice

194
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: to him, like when this conversation happened, Like, were you

195
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: like asking about him? Were you like, why aren't you

196
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: playing whist boy? Like I can picture that very clear?

197
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: Like her, like her literally just like insulting, Yeah, just

198
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: like you're gonna play or you a coward? I asked him, Hey,

199
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: how are you doing? Because I could see him in

200
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: his face like he he is not, you know, very

201
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: happy right now. So I asked her, Hey, so you

202
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: were right Dan, Okay, yeah, I'm happy. That's just wondering. Wow,

203
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: it was on the bus with a bunch of players.

204
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 1: I don't think he's just gonna call him out. That's

205
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: a good Yeah. I don't know, Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

206
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. She is kind of fearless. All right,

207
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: let's talk about inactives. I think we all kind of

208
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: agree based upon that conversation that Butler Irving and Scandrick

209
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: will likely be inactive this week. Going beyond that, you

210
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: basically have one, two, three, four, five, maybe six players

211
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: that you need to get four more four more of

212
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: them onto onto the inactive list. Let me throw out

213
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: the names and then you tell me the four that

214
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: you'd like to see that you think will be there.

215
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: Dayton Jones, Chaz Green, Justin march Lillard or Justin Durant

216
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: or both. If you choose Trey Williams and Blake Jarwin,

217
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: who are your four? Well, let's start with Trey Williams

218
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: real quick. Yes, he will be inactive this week. However,

219
00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys got to figure something out there because their

220
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: third running back is inactive. Now next week, Sekiel Elliott

221
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: will join the party, and uh, maybe he looks like this,

222
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't, but he he will be the third.

223
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: I mean, they won't be the third running back, but

224
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: they won't keep I mean they'll they'll probably have three active.

225
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: I don't think Alfred Moore they even have one like

226
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: Willy will They cut Trey william Oh I would imagine, yeah,

227
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: I would guess. But but my issue is is that

228
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: he's the third running back. He's inactive that won't happen

229
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: next week. You know, next week Alfred Morris will be active,

230
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: so will Rod Smith? Of course, Well, I think that's

231
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: an interest. I think that's a question. I don't know

232
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: if I think that's a that's a for sure, can't

233
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: be a question. You cannot bring this guy back wherever

234
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: he's been, what he's doing. He can't just come in

235
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: and say you're the guy. You got to have Alfred

236
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: Morris active. Well, but if you had Rod Smith active?

237
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that not enough? Just the two of them?

238
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: I don't think now, don't get me wrong. If you've

239
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: got spots like this week, I think inactives are kind

240
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: of an afterthought. But but let's assume that everybody's healthy. Yeah,

241
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: we have five shows. I guess next week the thought

242
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: can we just focus on having a good Friday? Okay, sorry,

243
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 1: your third running back is going to be inactive, but

244
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: next week that might not be as easy. So tray

245
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: tray William w us next Wednesday. I agree with with

246
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: Nicholas for whatever that's work. I don't care what you

247
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: agree with. Wow, Okay, I didn't care. Cool, thanks, not worth? Sorry,

248
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: I gotta feeling sorry. I'll just turn this rest of

249
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: the show. Um, okay, Oh, go ahead, finish your statement.

250
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: Zeke's been gone for six weeks. You can't guarantee you

251
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: know what kind of condition he's in or trust that

252
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: he's just ready to rip off twenty eight carries his

253
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: first week back. I think it's the Seahawks against yeah,

254
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: against a very good defense, even with the injuries they have. Um,

255
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: so yeah, I wouldn't sit. Maybe you sit Morris for

256
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: the Eagles if if you know, if Zeke looks good

257
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: or whatever, But I would. I would have through running

258
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: backs active for that game. So going back to this

259
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: week's game, Trey Williams, Trey Williams, you think is that

260
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: is in sidem down? So give me three more guys?

261
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 1: Who was three? Lake? Darwin? How you down to two?

262
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: Jarwin and pick pick your linebacker? Probably one of the two.

263
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: You don't put both one probably you know, well you

264
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: don't need to put both. Okay, I would probably, I

265
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: mean i'd probably sit to rant because March Lillard can

266
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: play special teams and you've got all your other linebackers healthy.

267
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: Got eight one more between Dayton Jones and she Wait,

268
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: I thought you said we only needed three. We needed

269
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: four more. We had three stand Irving Bryce. You were

270
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: too busy trying to si. This guy's going to the

271
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, right, I knew you were going to do this.

272
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: Sp uh. Someday he will stop it. I guarantee will

273
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: Dave go. Um crap? What what were my options? I'm sorry, Dayton,

274
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: you down to Dayton Jones or Chaz Green. I think

275
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: your finals well all right, I think that I think

276
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: they felt good about what Dayton Jones did last week,

277
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: so I'll be well, oh um, what about oh damn.

278
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: You probably don't want to sit Daniel Ross either, not

279
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: if Irving's not playing. If irvings plan, I think he's

280
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: gotta be act. They didn't they sit him. They said

281
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: him last week against the Giants though didn't. Yeah, he was,

282
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: I would say, Daniel Ross, okay, let me ask you

283
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: this question, though, playing a team that has a running

284
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: back the caliber of the running back you're gonna face

285
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: this weekend, do you think maybe you need that extra

286
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: defensive tackle. I think I'm way more worried about how

287
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: my linebackers are playing than my defensive tacks. Got it

288
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: funny the way you say sign back because you already got,

289
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: but you're already gonna have on. I'm saying, like Daniel Ross,

290
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: isn't the difference between whether or not Marshawn Lynch has

291
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: a good day. That's what I'm trying to say. All Right,

292
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: So I would probably sit Daniel Ross, and you'd keep

293
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: Dayton Jones and you'd keep Jazz Green active just because

294
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: it's I mean, they've they've been practicing, or they both

295
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: were a practice yesterday. They've both played really well, but

296
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: it still seems smart to have an insurance policy other

297
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: than I don't I mean, if they're both gimpy, might

298
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: why not both? Yeah? I worked well so far. Just

299
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: just remember this when I said Blake Darwin James Hannah

300
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: has Yeah, there's something worth keeping an eye on. And

301
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: he's been he was limited yes your day day, so

302
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's progressing. He miss wins the limited.

303
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens today. And he's coming off his

304
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: best catch of his entire career. So I think everyone

305
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: probably play. I'm trying to figure out if that's true.

306
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, we had a hard time

307
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: coming up with another one that was like that was

308
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: a great kid. I'm not saying it wasn't I'm just

309
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: that might be the best catch that any guy's made

310
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: for this team this year. Like, just that was very

311
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: good catch easily. Still. Yeah that was six years ago. Yeah,

312
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: that was six years ago. I mean, no one's putting

313
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: that on the T shirt. Six years ago. It seems

314
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: like a long time. It does seem like a long

315
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: time ago. Yeah, that's how seasons go, though. Ye think

316
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: about those games back in September, they feel like they

317
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: were two seasons ago. Like that feel like a long December. No, no,

318
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: Counting Crows, this isn't. Yeah, you don't strike me as

319
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: a Counting Crows fan. Nah, I don't even know who

320
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: that is. Yeah, you do shut out, seriously, I don't.

321
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: I don't know who that is. Who is that cool? Whatever? Are?

325
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: some big picture questions. I want to find out a

326
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: little bit more about who they who are, what they're

327
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,160

Speaker 1: want to talk a little bit about the running back

330
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: position to the Cowboys, or should the Cowboys change up

331
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: what they've been doing? Should they maybe consider Rod Smith

00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: having more of a role than what he's had so

Speaker 1: of you guys is when you look at this team,

453
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: and you guys have been on shows all week, so

454
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 1: you kind of have a better idea of this than

455
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: I do. But you look at this Raiders team offensively, defensively,

456
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: special teams, what thing do you think is the biggest

457
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: would be the biggest concern? Think you got from the

458
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys standpoint as you faced this team. Let's start with you,

459
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: Dave Um. The Raiders pass rush is really the only

460
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: thing about their defense that worries me a whole bunch,

461
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: and Marshawn Lynch is the only component of their offense

462
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: that really scares me either, which I feel weird saying that,

463
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: because I mean Derek Carr somewhere is he's a good quarterback.

464
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,719
Speaker 1: I mean he was in the MVP conversation. He's had

465
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: his moments this year, but it just hasn't been there

466
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: this season for them. Their receivers are either gimpy or

467
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: not good. We don't know if a Marie Cooper is

468
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: going to play in this game. It's on I look

469
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: at it, and other than Amari Cooper, who we established

470
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: early in the week when you were actually here, is

471
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: like he's one game away from having just like the

472
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: most atrocious year, like he blew up against Kansas City

473
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,479
Speaker 1: and other than that, it's nothing. And then you got

474
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: Jared Cook and then there's nobody else on that Allen

475
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: Crabtree has been a better receiver since he's been with

476
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: Oakland and has moments when he's had really great games. Right,

477
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: all he's just I mean, I know, I mean, as

478
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,239
Speaker 1: soon as you say it, then Lewis blew the hell up.

479
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: As soon as I said I thought he was manageable.

480
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: But like, there's nobody on this team. He's not Keena Keena.

481
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: Now I'm not going in no, of course not. I'm

482
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: not going into this game just being like crab Tree, right, whoa, whoa? Hey,

483
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: Like I just I don't see it. This has a

484
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: feeling though, about that Falcons game, where you know you're like,

485
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: what's wrong with the Falcons? What's wrong with Matt Ryan

486
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: he's the MVP, what's wrong with car And then it's

487
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: like yeah, and then here it is like playing at home,

488
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with it. I just think those those

489
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: breakdowns defensively, you know, they they happen every now and again,

490
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: there's just and and Eli missed this guy in the

491
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: first or second quarter there, I can't remember. They had

492
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: one drive wide open. He just missed it. And you

493
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: just don't expect these these guys to miss those. But

494
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: but it's happening, and we're leaving these guys just wide open.

495
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: And I will I mean, car doesn't take a lot

496
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: of sacks. I think he said like twenty one on

497
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: the years. He's top he's top ten. Uh, It's I

498
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: thought they were. I thought they were farther down in

499
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: Sex anyway. But they have the line to protect him,

500
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: which I mean, so you gotta cover well, you gotta

501
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: cover longer. That's that's something worth watching. But honestly, I

502
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: think if you can stop their running game, if you

503
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: can keep Marshawn Lynch from blowing up, and I think

504
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: they can like he has. I mean, their golfense just

505
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: has not lived up to the expectation that it had

506
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: in the preseason obviously, and I think if you stop

507
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: their run, I just don't see them being like I

508
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: just don't see them putting up like thirty points. I

509
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: just would be surprised by that. Amber. What could serge

510
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: you moth most. I absolutely agree with Dave. I'm just

511
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: glad that Shaun Lee and Anthony Hitchens are going to

512
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 1: be able to be on the field. Hopefully Shaun Lee

513
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: there's no reoccurring trouble there with his hamstring that we

514
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: are able to see him most of the time being

515
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: on the field. And I really loved everything I saw

516
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: from him last game, and it's absolutely amazing the way

517
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: he plays and how he tackles and how he manages

518
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: he controls the whole defense. So I'm just glad he's

519
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: there because is my main concern would be mister Lynch

520
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: all right, Nick, I don't know, never been a big,

521
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: like big fan of him, of his game. Really, No,

522
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: not really, I mean, I mean, big strong running back.

523
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. I mean, I don't

524
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: think he's that great right now. I think they can

525
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: bottle him up, I really do. I don't. He doesn't

526
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 1: concern me as much as the other guys. You know,

527
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: I kind of know what you're talking about because I'm

528
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: kind of the same way. I think he's a volume runner,

529
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: Like if you let if they keep giving him the ball,

530
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: if they get in games where they can keep giving

531
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: him the ball. As the game goes on, he'll wear

532
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: you down a little bit more like he reminds me

533
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: of um Eddie George a little bit like Eddie George

534
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: is not a kind of guy that you were afraid

535
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: of him taking it eighty yards at the beginning of

536
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: the game. Eddie George is just so big and so

537
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: physical that as the game wore on, if they were

538
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: still in a position where they could run it. If

539
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: he gets the thirty carries in a game, or twenty

540
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: eight carries in a game, good luck, you're probably not

541
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: gonna win that. Yeah. So that's the kind of back

542
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 1: that Marshawn. So don't get me wrong, he's a really

543
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: good running back. But I think it's a different like.

544
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: You don't fear him the way you fear back in

545
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: the day, the way you would have feared a Marshall fallk,

546
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: you know, because it's just it's different kind of guys.

547
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: It's not he's not that guy that necessarily just destroys

548
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: you from start to fat. But you look at their offense,

549
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: who from who else from their offense would you actually

550
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: think stands out more? Great point question? I still believe it,

551
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: But that just because you're the best doesn't mean well,

552
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: the question leading player from Yale, if you have to

553
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: choose from the group, the question was what concerns you? Right,

554
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: she doesn't get there. God, I remember that this is

555
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: what concerns me, just from the offense or just overall.

556
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: As I say at the beginning of the question offense defenses,

557
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't paying attention on um Khalil Mackal he's the best.

558
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 1: He's the best defensive player on the team. He's one

559
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: of the best in the league. And you know, I

560
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: the cat always have great tackles, there's no doubt about it,

561
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: and they're playing well. But I think his versatility and

562
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: what they do, and then the fact Bruce Irvans got

563
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: a lot of sex on the other side. It's a

564
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: pretty good one two punch, so he's obviously getting a

565
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of help on his side. Yeah,

566
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: but I think and I Cowboys don't do that a

567
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: ton of then we give a lot of help. So

568
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be anxious to see where Khalil Mack is.

569
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: He's the guy you guys have probably sit this early

570
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: in the week when I wasn't here, but probably Lil

571
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 1: Mack is. He typically on one side of the other

572
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: or does he filip around. He's he's a right or

573
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: left end primarily, He's gonna be primarily on Lyle's side.

574
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that matchup? I mean, it

575
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: makes some money. I feel I feel good, but I

576
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: mean Lyle, Lyle, I feel like he's earned the benefit

577
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: of the doubt. I think one it would be silly

578
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: not to try to give him some help. I mean

579
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: it would it would. I think it would be foolish

580
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: just to be like, well, yeah he's got it, he's good.

581
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: But I feel like he has earned some confidence. Lyle

582
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: has no doubt about it. But all it, I mean,

583
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: all it takes this one, you know what I mean.

584
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: I mean, this could be the matchup. This is just

585
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: not good for him for whatever reason, maybe like Max

586
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,719
Speaker 1: got a better first step, or he's more powerful than

587
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: other guys. You know. I thought it was really interesting.

588
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: Actually I wrote I wrote a story about Lyle yesterday

589
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: and was talking to him about it, and it makes sense.

590
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: But he was just talking about, like, now, the biggest

591
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: thing that he's had to learn this year is patience,

592
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: because play and tackles so much different than being a guard,

593
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: like and you watch Lyle Collins play like he wants

594
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: to maul people, Like he just wants to come off

595
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: the line and destroy you. And you can't necessarily do

596
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: that when you play tackle, Like you have to understand

597
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: that they have to come through you, they have to

598
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: get around you. And I mean, like, you know, even

599
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: something as simple as just getting in the way might

600
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: be what you have to do on a given play,

601
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: Like it's not all just about demolishing the guy in

602
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: front of you, which is what he got so used

603
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: to as a guard. So he said he's learned a

604
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: lot about that, you know, over the course of the season.

605
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: I think his direct quote was, it's a night and

606
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: day difference from you know, September to now, which I

607
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: think bears out when you watch play playing a lot

608
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,719
Speaker 1: better than people are talking about it, Like nobody's really

609
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: talking about it because there's been so many other issues.

610
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: Still getting tweets and emails from people that are like,

611
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: they need to do this so that he can move

612
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: back to guard. I'm like, why they've made the transition. Yeah,

613
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: they've made the transition at this point, and I'm excited

614
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: to see where it goes from here, Like if they

615
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: can get Zach's resigned to a deal, and you can

616
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: keep this line together for another two years, you know,

617
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: until somebody else comes up, and then you have to

618
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: start wondering or tiring, gets to the point where you

619
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: got to start winning. Whatever might happen. But for two

620
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: years solid, if you got the same offensive line, whatever

621
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: happens at guard, I think you're whatever. Let's just assume

622
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: whether he's here or whether they go out and have

623
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: to get somebody else. If you got those four pieces

624
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: altogether for there for a couple of years, I think

625
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: you're really working with something. I really do. I agree

626
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: with you. I agree as well. I think he's played

627
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: very well. I think I love that answer about him

628
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: learning how to play tackle, you know, different than guard.

629
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: It's almost like full back to running back, where you

630
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: just attack mode, where you have to be patient. And

631
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: you know, if anyone knows about being patient, here's a

632
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: guy that was expected. I know y'all well talked about

633
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: it yesterday on the show about where he would have

634
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: gone if if he didn't have the incident. The top

635
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: fifteen it was a non instant top ten, Yeah, and

636
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: then then you getting undrafted. Now, I think he would

637
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: have been drafted, had his agent didn't come out and say,

638
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: do not draft us. We're not playing, I mean, don't

639
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: take us a sixth seventh round. Still can't believe that worked.

640
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: I know, like once you get to like the fourth

641
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: or fifth round and I'm just like, screw it. I mean,

642
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: I'll take take a shot sixth round. Why not take

643
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: a shot? Right? Exactly, Like six round picks don't make

644
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: it through training camp every year because you can pay

645
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: him whatever you want to pay him. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

646
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: I mean well, I mean even if but you know what, though,

647
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: it's better for the k it was better for him

648
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: to not because when you get drafted, they give you

649
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: a rookie pool that it wouldn't have been that high

650
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: for him to be like a fifth or sixth round pick.

651
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: But can't you always go back and do a restructure

652
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: on the deal, right? It can only restructure after three years.

653
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: Third year, Well that's oh that is for draft picks. Yeah, no,

654
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's just for draft picks. I mean, not

655
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: if you can restructure like an undrafted guy or or

656
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: something like that. Actually really smart what his agent did. Yeah, oh,

657
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: but in fact he got away with the fact that

658
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: it worked is I mean if he had, if they

659
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: had gone through with their threat, he would have sat

660
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: out for a whole year, wouldn't have been able to

661
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: go back to college, would have just had to work

662
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: out for a year and hope for the best the

663
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: next year. That's not and I don't think he would

664
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: have done that. I really don't. They came out after

665
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: the draft and we're like, we were bluffing, like they

666
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: said that, especially if you have if he got drafted

667
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: by team that actually he could see himself like he

668
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: has an opportunity to get a job, you know, unbelievable

669
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: play by him and his agent, unbelievable play by Jerry

670
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: Jones and get him here. And it's I feel like

671
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: it's unusual for stuff like that to pan out as

672
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: well as it has. But like it's I mean, it's

673
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: been great because the money he got this year after

674
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: his second year, they wouldn't have been able to do

675
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: that if he was a fifth, sixth round pick, right,

676
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: So it's worked out for everybody. Yeah, it was a big,

677
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: big coup of the Cowboys to be able to secure

678
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: his services. They just fell into the right spot at

679
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: the right time, and then Jerry was able to close

680
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: the deal, So salesman, here you go. Um, here's another

681
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: question I have for you, guys. Um, after what happened

682
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: last week with Rod Smith and the number of yards

683
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: and the way he played last week, do you think

684
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys should consider the possibility of using him in

685
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: a different role and not necessarily making him the primary back.

686
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: I don't. They don't do that kind of stuff. But

687
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: would you do more than just give him third down duties?

688
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: Would you maybe get him in there starting in the

689
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: I know usually they'll flip out in the third series

690
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: of the game, but would you do more? Would you

691
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: maybe go two series for Morris, two series for Smith too,

692
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: smooth series for Morris or something more like that to

693
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: give him a little bit more of an opportunity. Yep,

694
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: I think, I think a little bit, but but not

695
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, remember he went eighty one yards

696
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: because the Giants really were just caught in a really

697
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: bad defense. I mean, I don't think he was out

698
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: of the game right and I if he doesn't have

699
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: that play right there, then I don't think we're talking

700
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: all because his numbers are just totally inflated. That he

701
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: made the play would give him credit there, But I

702
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: would put him in there a little bit more. I mean,

703
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: I think his more impressive plays were not that touchdown

704
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: or even the second one. I think is the run

705
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: that right before Beasley's play was great, the blitz pickup.

706
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: He's doing a lot. He just does a lot of

707
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 1: things well. So for that reason, yes, I would play

708
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: him a little bit more than Morris, But I I

709
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: don't know how much more i'd like that rotation there.

710
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 1: I agree with I like this rotation a lot better, though,

711
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: I know, right how much? Do you also a factor

712
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: in that? If you look at kind of how things

713
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: are going to go beyond this, you would think that

714
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 1: Rod Smith probably has a better chance of being here

715
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: longer term and I'm talking about next year, yeah, than

716
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: maybe Alfred Morris getting him more opportunities because when Zeke

717
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: comes back, his opportunity is going to be extremely limited.

718
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: Would you want to give him more opportunities here because

719
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: you think that there's promise and you want to kind

720
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 1: of just get him in more. I mean I would

721
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: give yeah, I would give him more touches, and I

722
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: would lean towards trying to have the carries split fairly evenly.

723
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: But like, I don't I don't care about what it

724
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 1: means for the future. I mean, what's you know, training

725
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: camp next year, Like he's not going to be any

726
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 1: better or worse because he got ten more carries in December,

727
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: and I don't care about that. But I mean, he's

728
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: under contract in twenty eighteen, he's I mean, so you

729
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about that. And I think he's

730
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 1: as it stands right now, he's probably not a hard

731
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: guy to hold onto in the future. So I mean,

732
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm I said this earlier on one of our other platforms.

733
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 1: I don't even remember which one at this point, but

734
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: Zeke Rod and a draft pick is what I want

735
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 1: the running back room to look like next year. That's

736
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,240
Speaker 1: my And that's nothing against Alfred Morris. It's just smart

737
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: football in my opinion, Like why whatever you have to

738
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: give Alfred Morris, he's you know, he's nearing that thirty mark,

739
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: which is bad for running backs. Younger younger, always younger.

740
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: So and Rod has shown he has now delivered on

741
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 1: that potential that we've talked so much about, Like you've

742
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,240
Speaker 1: seen that he can do it, even if the numbers

743
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: are a little bit inflated. I feel good about his potential.

744
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: I think Alfred Moore is setting himself up for maybe

745
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: another contract with a team I'd say like a Jacksonville

746
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: or somebody, or maybe the Rams or somebody with a

747
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 1: young back that's the star. Alfred has proven one thing

748
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: he can he can sit back and and he you know,

749
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't he doesn't cause any issues or anything. He

750
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: waits for his turn. He's been in the you know,

751
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: ultimate professional and he's a good you know, he's been

752
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: a good player. He surprised me a little bit with

753
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: with what he's been able to do. Um I said

754
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 1: all along, I thought they should have gone with McFadden.

755
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if I was proven wrong, but but

756
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: they know that in the in the practice so and

757
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: and a lot of that had to do with Rod Smith.

758
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: They wanted to get Rod and more involved. They thought

759
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: he was more of a future. I don't know what

760
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 1: position Rod Smith is, which is a good thing. What

761
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:49,879
Speaker 1: is he? I mean think he's not a running back

762
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: or something other than a running back. I just don't

763
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: know what he really is. I mean, he's a he's

764
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: a running back, but he's a gigantic running Yeah. But

765
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: I remember remember back in the day they don't know this,

766
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: but back now just dismissing us. Now you you have

767
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: a maybe a shot Larry Centers. Yeah, yeah, from the

768
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. Right now. The name sounds familiar, but I

769
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: mean I don't I don't have I mean, he was

770
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 1: a fullback, but he wasn't because he caught Pastor Anderson. Yeah,

771
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's something like that. It's fullback, running back.

772
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I just don't know what he is. But

773
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: you don't have to define it. Just put him out

774
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: there and let him make plays, because because if you're

775
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: having a hard time defining it, the other teams having

776
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: a hard time figuring out who to put on him. See.

777
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 1: But I don't I think he is clearly a tailback

778
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 1: running back. I don't think he's a fullback. Clearly a tailback.

779
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: When he goes out and has an eighty one yard

780
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 1: pass where he dukes the safety and goes I mean,

781
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: that's a running back. That's a running backs due what well,

782
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: I don't understand what you think. That's a receiver or

783
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: you cam on a receiver. I don't know what he is.

784
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: That's not a fullback for sure. So I think I

785
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: think his his characteristics and what we've seen him do

786
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: to me clearly puts him in the category of a

787
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: running back. In my opinion, I don't think when they

788
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: had to put him at fullback, I didn't think he

789
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: was great there. No, So so I don't know. Yeah,

790
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: so I don't think. I don't. I don't think there's

791
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: another position where he fits more than me until next week. Yeah,

792
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a better place for him than

793
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: running back. I don't think it's receiver. I don't think

794
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: it's fullback. I think running backs where he belongs. You know,

795
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I hear what you're saying.

796
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 1: I just don't think he's a traditional running back. Either

797
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. He's a good player. We just want the

Speaker 1: Not that anybody asks you. Yeah yeah, I mean people

867
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: need to do laundry. Two road with two road games

868
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: in a row is tough. I haven't even unpacked from

869
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: New York yet. To be honest with you, you need

870
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: a wife, man, sure that kind of stuff? Huh? I haven't. No, No,

871
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying that. I'm saying. What I'm saying, let me

872
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: explain it. What I'm saying is that means she can

873
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: help you. Like that's what a marriage is. You help

874
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: each other. So when you have a wife, No, no,

875
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: it is absolutely so. When you have a wife, your

876
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: wife can help you when you have a lot of

877
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: stuff going on. She can pick up the slack. What

878
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: will happen is, though, is she'll say, you haven't unpacked

879
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: from New York and it's like it's Monday night football,

880
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: I want to watch the game. You're like, unpack your stuff,

881
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: get it out and get it. I gotta have room

882
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: for this. That's a bad wife. So you don't have

883
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: a bad wife. I have, damn. So you're saying I

884
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: don't need a wife, I'm saying, got it? And you

885
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,439
Speaker 1: would be unpacked if you had one like you saying,

886
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: but for different reasons. No, you just need a good wife.

887
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: I'm working on it, all right. Let's keep that working.

Speaker 1: that with Ezekiel Elliott than Rods. I mean, that's something

907
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: we're going all the way back to the offseason. Is

908
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: you know, I wish the Cowboys would get their running

909
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: backs more involved in the passing game, and we've seen

910
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: what they can do. Is I would I believe the

911
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: two longest receiving touchdowns of the season are both from

912
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: running backs. Are they not Zeke and San Francisco and

913
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: Rod in New York? Yeah, they have that type of ability.

914
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,800
Speaker 1: Rod has to do it. It's the longest reception of

915
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: the season by any player in the league. There you go.

916
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: I mean there's only the four more guys that went.

917
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: I mean there's some nineties. We're just worth mentioning that

918
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: a six three running back got to the house on

919
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 1: an And I know the Giants blitzed, but still like

920
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,919
Speaker 1: this is the NFL, Like you get caught and well,

921
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 1: you know the other thing to think about here, and

922
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: I don't know this for fact. I just I was

923
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 1: talking to a guy that's an Ohio State guy, and

924
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: he said, back when he was in college, he was

925
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: a four or five guy. Like this is not a

926
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: guy that even though you think he's big, you don't

927
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: consider him to be a speed guy, right, But this

928
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: is a guy coming out of high school's very very

929
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: highly recruited. I think he was a five star recruit

930
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: and was a four or five runner, So this is

931
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 1: not a slow running back. We were down on the

932
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: field and I was it was on the other end

933
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 1: coming toward us, and it got to about the thirty

934
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: yard line before I realized it was Rod Smith. I

935
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: thought Noah Brown was taking it to the house when

936
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: his first I just didn't. I've never really seen that

937
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: play where the running back slants over the middle like that.

938
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen him do that, so I thought I

939
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 1: was probably a receiver. I've seen it from plenty of

940
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: other teams. Yeah, the Cowboys, which goes back to my point,

941
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: do it more often, and I've seen the Saints do

942
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: it a lot, and they do that a lot. Those receivers,

943
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: Terrence and Dez, they actually, I mean they helped with that.

944
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 1: I mean they were down there, they were getting this

945
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: was a personal protector. They were getting in the way dead.

946
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: The reason that play worked is because Dez was bracketed,

947
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: which you know, you go back and watch. We can

948
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: say all you want about how Dez has struggled, but

949
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: like defenses still pay attention to after that fifty years.

950
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: If you notice after his touchdown in that game, they

951
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: started doubling him quite a bit more. You started seeing

952
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: them put the safety just basically right on top of him,

953
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: and so there were two guys just sitting on top

954
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: of Dez for a lot of the rest of that game,

955
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: which I think does open up open upout. But that's

956
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: what we've been wanting from DESN. Make those kind of

957
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: plays and force them to say. That's what g omb does.

958
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: Forces the safety get off, brother, get off? Yeah, brother?

959
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: All right, buddy, let's get a question from Twitter. Other

960
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: than the center and guards, what other ways of scheme

961
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: wise are there to block the linebacker. The concern is

962
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders linebacker Bowman thinking that he's going to be

963
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 1: a nightmare for the Cowboys. Yeah, you're talking beef, beef

964
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 1: thirty one. It's beef thirty one, but he wears forty one.

965
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: But yeah, you want to see more beef. Keith Smith, Yeah,

966
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: just sent him up there. And then that touchdown that

967
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 1: Rod Smith had the run, I thought, I mean, there

968
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 1: was a lot of good blocks on that play, but

969
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: Keith Smith, I mean comes in who really blocked two guys.

970
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: He's he can handle it. I mean what I can return. Guy,

971
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: you gotta be crazy to play that position. You got

972
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: to have a little bit of that in you. Yeah,

973
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 1: he's kind of liked it, like he doesn't care. He

974
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:00,040
Speaker 1: doesn't need to throw his body out there. And I

975
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 1: think that's what makes him really good. That's really affective.

976
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,720
Speaker 1: I know the question said other than the Garden Center,

977
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: but like Travis Frederick, that's what it is. Earned your contract.

978
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I mean he's a great player. I

979
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 1: don't say it that way like he hasn't been darning it.

980
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 1: But this is gonna be a tough one and go

981
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: get him. Yep. All right, let's get a call from

982
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,399
Speaker 1: Nolan in California. Nolan, what up? Hey, what's up? Guys?

983
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: Thank you for taking my call. I just wanted to

984
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: say a day two Amber, I've seen you out at

985
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: training camp and you actually hooked me up with the

986
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: T shirt on the sidelines, so I just wanted to

987
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:33,760
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Oh, no problem, you're welcomes. Yeah. My question

988
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: is for this week, for this game against the Raiders.

989
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: I know Marshawn Lynch, you know you guys have been

990
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: talking about him. We need to stop that run. Do

991
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: you guys think that he's gonna be that effective or

992
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: do you think it's just gonna be the old Raiders

993
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 1: we've seen all year and play the way they've been playing.

994
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna hang up and listen. Thank you. You

995
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 1: know when you're six and seven. It I don't know

996
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: how they've been playing all year, and it sounds like

997
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 1: they've They've played some games where they've played well, and

998
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: then they struggle, and then there's just like the Cowboys

999
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: being How have the Cowboys been playing all year? It's

1000
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: some really good games or some bad games. So I

1001
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: don't know what that means. I know that he doesn't

1002
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: have a ton of he doesn't have a lot of

1003
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: one hundred yard games. I believe he just had his

1004
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: first one two weeks ago. But he has scored a

1005
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: touchdown in the last three games. He's I mean, it's

1006
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: starting to look more like Beasts mode than it did

1007
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: earlier in the year. I worry like people are misconstruing

1008
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like I don't think Marshawn Lynch is

1009
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: going to take over this game like the by the

1010
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: expectation that you have for him. He's not having this

1011
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 1: amazing season, like I think he's got one hundred and

1012
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: twenty five carries for something like six or seven hundred yards,

1013
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: like he's averaging like fifty a game. But I think

1014
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: he has the potential to do that if you don't

1015
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: do your job right. And like I said, it's not

1016
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 1: so much that he just scares the crap out of me,

1017
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 1: but of the options on this offense, especially if a

1018
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: Marie Cooper's not playing, he's the one I'm worried about

1019
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 1: the most, and he's the one that I think can

1020
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: open up their offense for everything else. Like if if

1021
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 1: he's not having success, I think you can limit these

1022
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: Raider receivers. I just don't. They don't do a lot

1023
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah. I know this is not the answer

1024
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,760
Speaker 1: that people want to hear, and quite frankly, it doesn't

1025
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:12,800
Speaker 1: make for great radio when you do this, But in

1026
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: this instance, I think it's uniquely it makes the most

1027
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: sense when you're talking about these two teams in particular,

1028
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: to say we really don't know, and no one really does.

1029
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 1: Both these teams are so highly inconsistent this season that

1030
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: this could be a game where the Raiders offense gets off.

1031
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: This could be a game with the Raiders offense is

1032
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: completely shut down. It could be a game with the

1033
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense completely gets off, and it's a game with

1034
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,919
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense is completely shut down. So it both

1035
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: these teams have been jeckelan high through parts of the season,

1036
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: and I don't know that there's anybody that has a

1037
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:44,399
Speaker 1: really good handle on which team is going to show

1038
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: up for which team this week. So I don't know that.

1039
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: I don't know that I feel really comfortable confident in

1040
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: saying that their offense will be great or their offense

1041
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: will suck. You know, Like we said with Crabtree earlier,

1042
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: he's not a great receiver, But it wouldn't surprise me

1043
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 1: if he came in here and had several big catches

1044
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: and went over a hundred yards, that wouldn't surprise me.

1045
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 1: Just based upon what I've seen this season, that would

1046
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 1: surprise me. It wouldn't surprise me at all. I don't know,

1047
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: I don't know. I hear what you're saying, though, these

1048
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 1: are the two most disappointing and inconsistent teams based on

1049
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 1: what the preseason expectations were in the league and the

1050
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: way they've played. Like I know, we've watched all these

1051
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: Cowboys games and it's just like you can't get a

1052
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,839
Speaker 1: real handle on them. I can't can't get a real

1053
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 1: handle on when they're going to really show up and

1054
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:27,800
Speaker 1: play great versus when they're not. That's where it becomes

1055
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 1: very difficult to try to And you've got two teams

1056
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: like that in this instance, you just don't know. I

1057
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: just don't think it's hard. All right, let's take a

1058
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: let's take a quiet question from Twitter. Well, we've talked

1059
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:41,399
Speaker 1: about being predictable before a while back. Do you guys

1060
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: think that the reason as to why wide receivers are

1061
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: not able to have the success they should be having

1062
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: is it because the offense has become too predictable for

1063
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: the opposing defenses? You know what, there's something to be

1064
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 1: said for the pro We do what we do, you know,

1065
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 1: this is what we do. We go out there, we

1066
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: don't worry about the other team. We worry about ourselves.

1067
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: And there are teams with twenty members, you know, and

1068
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: they're coaching you know, staffs that that are looking at

1069
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff, the quality control, and so yeah,

1070
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: I think there's something to be said for that that

1071
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,359
Speaker 1: they are they when you kind of stick to your

1072
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: guns and you kind of focus on yourself, you get

1073
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: other people focusing on you as well. And I do

1074
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: think that they are somewhat predictable. We sit in the

1075
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: press box and we we have a good idea of

1076
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 1: what some plays are going to be. We talked based

1077
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,479
Speaker 1: on personnel, based off personnel, based off of just well

1078
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 1: this is going to be, you know, and Brian, we

1079
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: don't sit with Brian. I'm not sure Brian does it

1080
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 1: almost every other play. Yeah, so one thing, Well, there's

1081
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 1: other teams that are probably that can can see it too.

1082
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: Have you guys noticed though, and we just talked about

1083
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 1: that one play to Rod Smith, there have been, it

1084
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 1: seems to me, in the last week or so, there

1085
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 1: have been some moments when it seems like they've tried

1086
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: some things that they haven't been used to, that they

1087
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,279
Speaker 1: haven't done it customarily this season. Have you guys noticed

1088
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: the same thing or is that just like one play

1089
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 1: and otherwise they've just done basically the same thing. I'm

1090
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: not trying to put you on the spot, but like,

1091
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 1: do you have an example? I mean, I thought of

1092
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,399
Speaker 1: some other things last week I can't remember right off hand,

1093
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: but it seemed like there were a couple other plays

1094
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 1: that it was similar where they did something a little

1095
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 1: different than they normally would do. Oh was it the

1096
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: the catch by Beasley where they ran a M I

1097
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: can't remember. I can't remember. I'll need to go back

1098
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 1: and look. Lenahan's pretty reliable to add like two or

1099
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:34,320
Speaker 1: three wrinkles to a game plan while keeping it largely familiar.

1100
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: Maybe did they do like they faked the reverse? I

1101
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:41,399
Speaker 1: think in this in this past game, maybe with Dez. Yeah, yes,

1102
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: it's you know, I mean they've run the play, just

1103
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 1: not necessarily. Those guys, they there's there's a two or

1104
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: three wrinkles every week, but like it looks familiar, and

1105
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean that's their big thing. I think we talked

1106
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 1: about that a week or two ago. It's where it's like, well,

1107
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 1: are you committed to your identity or are you just stubborn?

1108
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: And I think that that's a hard line to ride,

1109
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: And I agree with Nick that a lot of times

1110
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: they fall more on the stubborn side of things, which

1111
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: which I think it's been the narrative most of the season.

1112
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm really more talking about in the last game or

1113
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: so have they Has there been anything else that made

1114
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 1: you kind of say, well, maybe they are trying something

1115
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: a little different. Maybe not nothing that, you know, a

1116
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: fleeing that really would work. Saw it last night. Nothing

1117
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: that really jumped. Which it's funny because you know, and

1118
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: you know they made the play. It's awesome, it's great. Uh,

1119
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 1: you know, we haven't seen a lot of the past

1120
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 1: of the running back, like like Rod Smith was like,

1121
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 1: I never get that ball in practice. Like He's like,

1122
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 1: I was shocked. And if you go they did a

1123
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,800
Speaker 1: miked up feature. Gary Brown was like, I think he

1124
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 1: asked Dak. He was like, why did you throw it

1125
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 1: to Rod? Like obviously it's good, but we like, that's crazy,

1126
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 1: but it happened. What did you see? So even when

1127
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: they do something new, yeah, maybe not so much, you know,

1128
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: like Dak just did Yeah, Dak was like, I gotta

1129
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 1: do something here, right he is spitting the trash can

1130
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: and he made it and he knew he was on

1131
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: Is that right? Yeah? Did he say that I haven't

1132
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: seen it? Yeah? He I thought this is everybody has

1133
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:04,400
Speaker 1: seen this by now because it was on a Showtime

1134
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 1: miked up feature and all that he's sitting with Lenahan

1135
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 1: and he's got gum which is nasty, and he like

1136
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:13,360
Speaker 1: spits it into the trash that don't know Nick anyways,

1137
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 1: but he makes it and he's like, I'm on, coach,

1138
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm on it right in the track, you know. And

1139
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 1: of course lenahanded with his you know, with Lenahan personality,

1140
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 1: was like, oh, did you good? He's like, yeah, I'm on,

1141
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm hitting it today. I'm feeling good today. So okay,

1142
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: that was it? Cool. It's funny. The little thing I

1143
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 1: was gonna say, whatever, Well, what would have been interesting

1144
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 1: is is what if he would have missed? Does he

1145
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: go pick it up? Like the coke? Me out, coach?

1146
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 1: I don't know, me out, I'm feeling it. No. I

1147
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 1: remember I'm talking about last year when he when he

1148
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 1: got through something on the cup and he did he

1149
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:48,879
Speaker 1: had to go pick it up. But are you gonna go, yeah,

1150
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 1: you go pick up up. Definitely don't want to leave

1151
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 1: gum on the ground because somebody's gonna step on. Just

1152
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,399
Speaker 1: just not chew it. He looks so bothered he does.

1153
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,359
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't know. It's really there's

1154
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: so many other things that are more disgusting than that. Anyway, Amber. Oh, actually,

1155
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:05,879
Speaker 1: we got another phone call. We got a call. I'm

1156
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 1: gonna tie in Georgia. Tye it, that's it, tie us up, Hey,

1157
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: ty Sorry, Hey, how y'all doing good? Are you? I

1158
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 1: just want to say I really enjoy your show and

1159
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: appreciate all the hard work y'all put into it. Thank

1160
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 1: thank you. We appreciate you listening. All right. I've got

1161
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: a frustration and it's a question I hope y'all can answer.

1162
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: I get so frustrated when I hear people like Anthony

1163
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:36,760
Speaker 1: Hitchens or DeMarcus Lawrence they're getting to a contract state

1164
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 1: and we've we've brought them up and they're great talent,

1165
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 1: and we know what they are, and then they tell

1166
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 1: us we can't afford them. What can we do to

1167
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 1: get to the point where we can afford them? Thanks,

1168
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: and I'll hang up. Let's be clear, I've never heard

1169
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Well I shouldn't say never. There have been

1170
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: very few instances where the Cowboys couldn't afford a player

1171
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 1: that they really really want it. Yeah, And so when

1172
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 1: you hear anybody say well they can't afford them and

1173
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:09,359
Speaker 1: they walk, then it's because the Cowboys didn't value them

1174
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: at whatever that amount was, that they were able to walk.

1175
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: That's a really good point, and I'm guilty of that.

1176
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: I say stuff like they can't afford him all the time,

1177
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: and that's not really what I mean. What I mean

1178
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 1: is a guy like Anthony Hitchins, and this is this

1179
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 1: is spitballing. We I can't predict to a certainty how

1180
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: it's going to play out. But when you say they

1181
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 1: can't afford him, it means Anthony Hitchins is probably going

1182
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: to command a price that they're not willing to pay

1183
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:34,799
Speaker 1: when you're thinking about the rest of your salary cap

1184
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: and thinking about where they value him with what else

1185
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 1: they have on the roster, and all I mean, they

1186
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: could absolutely afford him. If if they were just hell

1187
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:43,760
Speaker 1: been that Anthony Hitchins was going to be a cowboy

1188
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: for life, they could absolutely afford him. They could have

1189
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 1: afforded Barry Church. But Jacksonville comes in with thirty million guaranteed,

1190
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 1: and you look and say, well, we're not gonna be

1191
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: able to give Zach that extension. If we do that,

1192
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:56,839
Speaker 1: We're not gonna be able to franchise somebody next year.

1193
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 1: If we do that, it's all And that's that is

1194
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,879
Speaker 1: the day of the NFL is allocating your salary cap,

1195
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 1: your top fifty one contracts, making it all makes sense

1196
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 1: not just for twenty eighteen, but for the four years

1197
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 1: beyond that. So they I mean, they could absolutely afford

1198
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 1: these guys. It's just a matter of what do you prioritize.

1199
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: That's why I think we would all agree one way

1200
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 1: or another. It's a foregone conclusion that DeMarcus Lawrence is

1201
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 1: on this team next year, whether he's tagged or extended.

1202
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,919
Speaker 1: If they let him go after Jerry's been talking about

1203
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: this war Daddy and talking about getting a pass rusher

1204
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 1: for for whatever amount of time they let him walk

1205
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: for whatever price, I think I would be shocked. Problem,

1206
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: I would be shocked. I'll be shocked if they don't

1207
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 1: resign Hitchens. Really yeah, really on the team. Thank you

1208
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 1: have to. I think Dave said it best yesterday or

1209
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 1: two days ago. I guess you just can't. It was

1210
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 1: yesterday I was listening you said you just can't go

1211
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 1: win too next year with Shaun Lee and Jalen Smith.

1212
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 1: You can't do it well. But it hasn't given you

1213
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: anything to show that he can stay healthy all the time.

1214
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith hasn't showed that he isn't ready to be

1215
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: the Jalen Smith he was in college. Anthony Hitchens, I

1216
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 1: think you need him, But wouldn't the draft be your

1217
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: your answer there? Rather than paying whenever that price it

1218
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: was with Wilbur like it was with Damien and Wilson. No,

1219
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 1: you have to draft higher. You got to get a

1220
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: better quality player. So would you not? Would you not?

1221
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 1: Would you not invest the first round pick in a

1222
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: linebacker at this point? I think you got other issues.

1223
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: If I'm gonna do that, I'd rather resign. Anthony Hitchins,

1224
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 1: I hear it. It's it's gonna. I think the price

1225
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 1: matter than done. I get it. I think the price matters.

1226
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: Do it now? Okay, try now see what happened. I

1227
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 1: don't know why he would do that either. Predictions. I

1228
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys win by twenty twenty seventy seven. Oh,

1229
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 1: holy cow, Trent, seventy seven. This is their time, believe

1230
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: in it. That's what i's twenty four twenty. I do

1231
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: think they find a way to win. I don't know why.

1232
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 1: I just I mean, take your pick, neither one of you.

1233
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 1: I don't like you said. I don't know what to

1234
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 1: expect from either of these times. Okay, twenty seventeen Cowboys,

1235
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: some cool pick by a corner rookie, he'll score a

1236
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: touch them, all right. I think Cowboys win thirty one twenty.

1237
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: I think they get back into the thirty. So, like

1238
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 1: I think offensively, the Cowboys are gonna I think they're

1239
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna figure it out against this defense, and

1240
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: I think they'll score some points. Um, I think they're

1241
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: gonna They're probably got more confidence than they've had in

1242
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 1: a long time offensively, uh with since certainly since Zeke

1243
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: has been out, I think they're starting to kind of

1244
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: fill it offensively. So I don't think it. I just

1245
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: don't think this this run is over yet, and they

1246
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 1: may not make it to the playoffs, but I think

1247
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 1: the next few games are gonna matter, all right, they

1248
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 1: run away with it. I hope you're right. Appreciate you

1249
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 1: guys joining us. We will be back Monday. Monday will

1250

00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 1: be back day? Zeke will be back in the building.

1252
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,360
