00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: who's gonna win the game. So we got a lot

17
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: to do today. Let's start first with some guys that

18
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: did not practice yesterday and get caught up on their

19
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: injury status. Randall Cop, Jeff Heath, Layton Vanderesh, Antoine Woods, Dave,

20
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: what would you see from them today. I assume you

21
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: went out to practice before the show. I actually didn't. Didn't, okay,

22
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: but our offices are we went out to practice. Okay,

23
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: I watched practice. I'm multitask today. You put it that way,

24
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: I'm multi task. Uh, Layton Vanderesh isn't gonna play in

25
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: this game, all right? X Randall Cop is back at practice.

26
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: He should be available. That was an illness, correct, Yes, yeah,

27
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: he's he's fine. And actually I saw him yesterday while

28
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: Black practice was going on. He was entering the building,

29
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: so he wasn't at the building yesterday as well. Um,

30
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: just like last week. I think Jeff Heath is going

31
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: to be the one I didn't. I didn't see him

32
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: out there today. He didn't play in the game, which

33
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: was honestly a little bit surprising to us. I think

34
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: we kind of say we thought he could get through it.

35
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: Antoine Woods, No, I think Jeff Heath is the guy

36
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: to watch. But I think it's going to be a

37
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: very similar cast of characters for this game as it

38
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: was for the Bills. How do you feel about Darien

39
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: Thompson also being limited in practice with Jeff Heath being out.

40
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: I think that Darian Thompson is more of like a

41
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of guys listed as limited,

42
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: and all those limited guys seem to be okay. That

43
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: just yeah, you know, Jason Garrett, this isn't encouraging. But

44
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett said this morning, Tyrant Smith pop back up

45
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: on the injury report with an achilles, but yeah, limited,

46
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: it's yeah, you would think it's sore or something. Yeah, no,

47
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: I know, but he was out there today. He's been

48
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: out there all week, and everybody's fighting through about nineteen

49
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: things right now. It's just the nature of football. But yeah, yeah,

50
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: hate here in that word, like that's got to be

51
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: top five words you don't want to hear in regard

52
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: to a football player or anybody. Really. Yeah. Yeah. The

53
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: good news of all of that stuff you just mentioned,

54
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper practice full yesterday after you know what happened

55
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: to him last game, So it looks like he's ready

56
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: to go. And he said yesterday in the locker room.

57
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: I think that the quote was something to the effect of,

58
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, this time year, everybody's banged up, but I'm

59
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: good to go. So he also said, yes, this is

60
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: easily the most amount of stuff I've ever had to

61
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: fight through in a season. I couldn't believe that. You know,

62
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: he hasn't missed any time this week. I thought his

63
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: season might be over when he took that hit. Obviously, Yeah,

64
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: so cost to him. He's fine, he'll be available. I

65
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: certainly didn't think he'd be practicing this week. My thought was,

66
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: this is going to be one of those weeks where

67
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: you don't practice, you see how you feel by game time,

68
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: and then hopefully he's ready to go. He said he expected.

69
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: He said he expected to wake up on Friday morning

70
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 1: and you know, just being a tremendous amount of pain,

71
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: and he was like surprised when he woke up and

72
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: felt okay. I mean, this whole thing's been tough to

73
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: read for him, and not really in a negative way,

74
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: but like, you know, he didn't look like he was

75
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: anywhere close to playing after the Jets game. He did,

76
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: he didn't had no interest, He had no there was

77
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: not he wasn't gonna go back and play in that game.

78
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: You could just tell. And so that looks like he's

79
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: not gonna play the next week. But he does. He plays.

80
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: He plays really well against I think it was the Packers.

81
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: So then you know, even the whole contract situation. I mean,

82
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: you would thought you would have thought he even signed

83
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: by now, but he's not. I mean, he takes his

84
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: big hit, he's not gonna play. Oh man, this is

85
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: gonna be really bad, but he comes back. I'm not

86
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: saying that he that he fakes it or anything like that.

87
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm just saying he's tough to read. What do you

88
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,799
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see from him? Hasn't really happened? Yeah,

89
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: I mean is what it is. Honestly, it's getting a

90
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: point where it's not as tough to read him my opinion,

91
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: just from the standpoint you're starting to realize he's just

92
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: a tough dude that if it's at all possible for

93
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: him to play, I think you will play. And he

94
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: puts in context that game where he didn't come back.

95
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: It tells me he must have really been in pain,

96
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: because he's dealt with some pretty you would think, some

97
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: pretty painful moments and he's played through most of them

98
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: this season. So it tells me in that moment, like

99
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: he really thought, I'm going to be a detriment to

100
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: my team being out there. Worst injury of the season.

101
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: If we ever do those articles that say, like, what

102
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: was the toughest one, now, Jets whatever he was dealing

103
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: with the Jets game, that was the toughest one to

104
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: me because they were shorthanded, they didn't have any receivers

105
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: in the back end, and they kicked the Jets ass.

106
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: If he plays in the game and they don't end

107
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: as they've said last week, you beat the Jets changes

108
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: everything about this team, and you know, just perception of

109
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: the team, the record, everything, but different if you beat

110
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: the Jets. I'm gonna take a little D two here.

111
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: Since we started talking about Amari Cooper, there was a

112
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: report that came out yesterday, false report, but a report

113
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: nonetheless that basically said that Cowboys probably wouldn't be able

114
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: to resign him or Byron Jones. Then he addressed it

115
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: in the locker room yesterday. Tell me what Amri said

116
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: about the likelihood of him signing back with the Cowboys

117
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: when the season's done. At some point you talk about, yeah,

118
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: like Amari Cooper just does the opposite of like's what

119
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: you would expect I think from a pro football player.

120
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: That was really surprising yesterday. Like that came up because

121
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: of the report that came out over the weekend and

122
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: he was like, yeah, I love it here. You know,

123
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: I've been more productive here than I've been in Oakland.

124
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: Why would I want to leave? Like, why would I

125
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. That was his

126
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: exact quote. And you know, the money has to be right,

127
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: and he kind of alluded to that, he said, I

128
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: haven't really thought about the open market. I'm not Trump

129
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: put the cart before the horse. But He's like, I

130
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: feel like I'm at home here. This is absolutely where

131
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: i want to be. Yeah, which, yeah, I'm I'm aggravated

132
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: by the speculation that's kind of going around about that.

133
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: Like you know, we speculate about Dak and Amari all offseason.

134
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: It reaches a fever pitch at the start of the season,

135
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: nothing happens. You kind of settle into a groove where

136
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: you're playing games. And now the seasons a month from

137
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: being over, and people are just throwing stuff at the

138
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: wall because you're like, well, yeah, like they're probably headed

139
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: for a franchise tag like well, of course, because the

140
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: season's ending and then you know February, that type of

141
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: stuff has to be designated and marches when the market opens.

142
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: People just throw speculation up there. Because they know how

143
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: the calendar works, and it creates a national news story

144
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: because it's the Dallas Cowboys. But the fact is Cowboys

145
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: will have to do a deal with either a Mari

146
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: or DAK before the franchise tag designation because they only

147
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: have one to use. Correct that's not necessarily true. Depending

148
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: on CBA negotiations. They could theoretically use franchise tag transition

149
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: tag at the same time. Kind of transition tag. They

150
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: use transition tag on one franchise on the other, they

151
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: could would you choose to franchise which well, and throw

152
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: Byron Jones in there, but again, by like you can

153
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: just do the math and be like, well, Byron has

154
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: always likely been the odd man out in that scenario

155
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: unless something happens. And again, so it's just national reporters

156
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,239
Speaker 1: throwing stuff out there because of the Cowboys name. Using

157
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: common sense and reading tea leaves, which all of us

158
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: can do, and we've all been talking about it since September. Okay, okay,

159
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: whatever I mean, it's not. I mean Cooper's first round

160
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: draft pick of this team. You see, he's gonna be

161
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,679
Speaker 1: on the team. That's why you trade for him, because

162
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: he's going to be on the team, So, I mean,

163
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: I get his injuries concerned me though, franchise guess how

164
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: you structure the contract? You would? Yeah, I mean, because

165
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: that's a one year deal of what eighteen nineteen million?

166
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: What's the what's the dat franchise tag? Twenty eight No thanks,

167
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: I'd rather sign him, get the get the damn thing done,

168
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: Sign him, and then you can, you know, change the

169
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: numbers around. You can kind of you can mess with

170
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: those numbers because it's going to be such a big deal. Yeah,

171
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: I'm definitely getting but you're gonna sign him both, I think. Yeah,

172
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: that's that's just the fun of this thing, is that

173
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: writers like to get their names, you know, mentioned on

174
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: the radio. That's what happens. Well, that's that's the point

175
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: of this thing, is that both players. I don't think

176
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: there's any reason to believe that either the player or

177
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: the organization wants to part ways in either of those cases.

178
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: So when you have to deal two people that want

179
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: to get a deal done, a deal gets done. It's

180
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: just it's it's because it's the Dallas Cowboys is what

181
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: makes it aggravating. Because I could have come on this

182
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: podcast in September and said, well, the season has started.

183
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: You don't see deals happen during the season. Very often.

184
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens, but unless both sides come to

185
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: an agreement, you could theoretically see a situation where one

186
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: of these guys is tagged. And even if that's just

187
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: a placeholder, that happens all the time. It happened to

188
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence less than twelve months ago. But time is

189
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: running out on the season and somebody with a larger

190
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: audience repackages the same non news and all of a sudden,

191
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: people are freaking out, like, oh my god, did you

192
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: hear Dak or Mari might have to be tagged? Well, no, duh,

193
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: Like that's that's the business of the NFL. There's nothing

194
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: new about it. But it's the Dallas Cowboys and stuff

195
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: like that gets said all the time. Has he lost

196
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: money a Mari? I mean, has his price tag gone

197
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: up or down? You think, I don't know if it's

198
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: changed at all? Has it from the beginning here? I'm

199
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: more about Dak. I mean, I mean you think Dak

200
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: has made money. Dak has made money. I think you

201
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: think maybe a little bit. Unless the cow even if

202
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: the number, even if the number was the same, even

203
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: if the number was the same. I think the Cowboys

204
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: feel better about paying Let's say the Cowboys already thinking, hey,

205
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: you know we would pay him thirty four, we paim

206
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: thirty five. I think they feel a lot better about

207
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: paying him thirty four thirty four now than they did

208
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: back there. But if they haven't been and they may

209
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: have been like now, they may be like, hey, maybe

210
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: we would pay him if they weren't willing paim thirty

211
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: five before him. Now maybe they're like, hey, thirty five's

212
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: a bargain for what we've seen. Well, he's still six

213
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: and six. I mean, like, I think he's played better

214
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 1: than we thought, but at the six and six, so

215
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: they haven't. He hasn't done He hasn't put him in

216
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: a position where you think, you know, you would think

217
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: they would be. I mean, you're right, and it's no,

218
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: you're it's disappointing. Blah blah blah. Kirk Cousins went seven

219
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: and nine the year before he signed his overrated and

220
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: overpaid but he set the market, but literally set the market. Okay,

221
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: but the Cowboys don't have to follow it. I mean,

222
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: you pay the market too, And they didn't go get

223
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams because the Rams set the market. But when

224
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: you pay a quarterback, you're not necessarily paying him because

225
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: he's the best quarterback in league. You're paying him whatever

226
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: the market rate is because you found a quarterback and

227
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: you don't want to let that quarterback. I get it,

228
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: I get it, But I'm just saying I think Dak's

229
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: people have I think I don't think he's helped himself

230
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: that much. I think his stats are really nice, but

231
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: they're not winning games, and that's what quarterbacks are supposed

232
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, but when you look at other every

233
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: team thinks that they can take a player and make

234
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: them better, buy their own coaching and all of that.

235
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: I think that what Dak has been able to do

236
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: this year, regardless of winning games and all that, just

237
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 1: stat wise, completion wise, and his progression as a quarterback,

238
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: I think it did change, at least even my own

239
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: opinion what I thought of him before the start of

240
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: the season versus what I think of him as a

241
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: right now and what he can continue to become as

242
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: a quarterback. That's the key to me is what I

243
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: projected him. What I've seen this year suggests to me

244
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: that his trajectory says he's going to be a really,

245
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: really good quarterback, and so what you're paying for is

246
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: the projection, not so much necessarily he is right. Now,

247
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: what about Amari Cooper? Same, Yeah, I think Amari is

248
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: about the same as he was. I mean, I don't

249
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: think anybody's putting him among them. I don't think anybody

250
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: would say he's the best receiver in football. He's certainly

251
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: like he's on a short list, but I mean I

252
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: would slot him in there behind Julio and a few

253
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: other like I don't know that he's made, you know,

254
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: a twenty million dollars salary or anything. I mean he's

255
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: behind Julio and Michael Thomas and definitely behind Hopkins and

256
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: you know. And yeah, I mean I think he's played

257
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: well and considering his injuries and all that. But you know,

258
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: like I said before, I had more of a problem

259
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: than you guys did about the goose egg that he

260
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: put up against New England, especially when you saw, you

261
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: know that Gilmore was, you know, he was not having

262
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: a great day against some of those guys from the Texans.

263
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: So that's the game. I give him a little bit

264
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: more like I have more of a problem with the

265
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: way he played against in this last game, or the

266
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: way he played maybe if you want to throw out

267
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: the Saints game, that to me is more of a

268
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: problem just because I look at I look at the

269
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: weather in New England. I'm like, I don't know that

270
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks would have been able to function

271
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: very well in that kind of weather. It just kind

272
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: of is what it is, those kind of days. I'm

273
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: sorry we talking about Dad. I'm sorry, I thought you're

274
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: talking about Deck. Okay, guy either way, Yeah, I mean,

275
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: I got you, okay. But to me, it's like when

276
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: you lay out all the games. He's been pretty consistent

277
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 1: all throughout the year, and everyone has a bad game.

278
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: You know, that's just naturally it's going to happen once

279
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: in a while. But I think you just have to

280
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: look at it more as an overall rather than pointing

281
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: out a single game. Yeah, he's played well, but I'm

282
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: just saying I think when you're looking at negotiating, you

283
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: can say, you know, just like the Cowboys, when you

284
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: go up against the best, how did you do? And

285
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: I will say that Dak needs to help himself by

286
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: winning some games here, because if not, then if you're

287
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: an eight and eight quarterback, that's not going to help

288
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: as far as Okay, so going along that track though,

289
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: do you think that, let's look at those eight losses.

290
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: Do you think that the majority of those losses, half

291
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: those losses were due to Dak not playing well enough? Yes,

292
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: most of them. I firmly believe that the quarterback needs

293
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: to play better. If you if you don't win, they

294
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: need to play better. And I can say that because

295
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: I Dak will stand it right in front of his

296
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: locker and the podium and say the exact same thing. Yeah,

297
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: that's what's supposed to say. That's what good leaders do.

298
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: I get them. But even that, I mean I mean

299
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:20,239
Speaker 1: Green Bay, New Orleans, New England, Yes, yes, yes, yeah,

300
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: and I mean everybody gets everybody gets a big al

301
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: for the Jets game, every single player of the team.

302
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, more than half of their losses he needed

303
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: to play better. He's not not necessarily played better, but

304
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: not the reason why they lost. Well, I guess that's

305
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: and maybe I said it the wrong way because I

306
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: guess I look at it and I'm he's down the

307
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: list for me. As far as guys that I think

308
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: if they would have played better, the Cowboys win on

309
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: some of those games. There are some games where I'm like,

310
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: the quarterback, that's on you, dude. But but there are

311
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: certain games where I feel like there were other parts

312
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: of the team that failed them more than the quarterback did.

313
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: And that's where I still get back to if you

314
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: look at where he is in this year of his

315
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: development as an NFL quarterback, to the arrow's pointing way up,

316
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: you know love da don't. I'm not saying that they shouldn't.

317
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know how you got Yeah, I'm already

318
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: getting it, I'm sure. But the thing about it is

319
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: is that I'm just saying you need, you need to

320
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: win games because it does affect him. If you know,

321
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: he's the he's the reason this team is supposed to

322
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: be winning or losing, and as the quarterback, you don't

323
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: really want to put an eight in eight out there,

324
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: which that right there, to me says that you may

325
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: have changed your opinion on what you thought of him

326
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: at the beginning of year, because I think at the

327
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: beginning of year we probably all would have said, Zeke,

328
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: you're the reason that they're going to be winning or losing. Yeah,

329
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: to be putting it on the quarterback means we've kind

330
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: of changed in our minds what we expect of Dak,

331
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: what's your level, what's your put it on a percentage

332
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: like level of concern about giving Amari and Dak at

333
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: or near market value contracts, just like you like one

334
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: hundred percent you're like, don't sign this guy at all,

335
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: let him go, Or zero percent you're like, how are

336
00:15:53,760 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: we doing with the coach? First, are let's talk about

337
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: how much money and spending on these players? Because I'm like,

338
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: if you're gonna waste the talent on the field, then

339
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: why waste the money. So first we got to the coach. Actually,

340
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: I disagree. I think Amari and Dak have both played

341
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: well enough that independent of who's coaching this team, I

342
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: feel good about them being here. Absolutely, But regardless of

343
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, it's like, what is that talent and

344
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: that invested money going to get you to That's a

345
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: whole different show. Those two guys come back next year

346
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: with new deals and they play to the level of

347
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence and Zeke. This year, the Cowboys are going

348
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: to have problems because Zeke has not done he has

349
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: not done what you thought he would do with that money.

350
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence hasn't either. Jalen Smith, let's put that one

351
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: in there. Three guys all got signed. They haven't played

352
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: as well as they did last year. So if those

353
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: two guys get paid and that happens again, that's the

354
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: scary That is the scary. That is a scary thing

355
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: about paying about paying your own guys, because you do

356
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: see it from time and time where guys get paid

357
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, for whatever reason. I'm not

358
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 1: saying that they take it any less serious, but for

359
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: whatever reason, the production doesn't seem to always follow that.

360
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: You know, including this season, the Cowboys probably have about

361
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: a three year window before all these contracts really start

362
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: to mess with their ability to add talent. And you know,

363
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: there's four games left to play, but it doesn't look

364
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: like this is going to be the season that they

365
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: capitalize on it. Maybe I'm wrong, and not only that

366
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: doesn't look like it. The one thing I'll say about that, though, too,

367
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: is there's a new CBA come and that new CBA

368
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: may change all that because you got new TV deals

369
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: coming up in another i think two or three years

370
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: as well. That all can change the whole financial outlook

371
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: of the NFL. You know, you may all of a

372
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: sudden be playing with extra hundred million dollars in cap

373
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,479
Speaker 1: space that you know, that makes it to where all

374
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: these big deals really don't matter, right, Yeah, But I

375
00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: never agree with that because they're all going to get

376
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: amount of money. So if you if the Cowboys have

377
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: an extra amount of money, that's fine, but the Buccaneers

378
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: will have an extra you know, hundred No. My point is, though,

379
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: that means you're not in salary cap like you're not

380
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: in it. Like Dave's point was, there's gonna come a

381
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 1: point where all these contracts are gonna get catch up

382
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: to you to where you now can't really go out

383
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: and sign players. You add another one hundred million dollars

384
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: to the cap, then it doesn't matter. You can cover

385
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: all these plus some, right, But it sort of does.

386
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: But that's another show because I'm just saying, because then

387
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: now everyone's got all this extra money. Now they're paying

388
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: an average defensive end twenty three million a year when

389
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: you've got DeMarcus lords, you know what I mean. So

390
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: you think DeMarcus then goes back to the web. I'm

391
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: just saying, it just keeps going over and over to

392
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: more he needs to play better. But what's to say

393
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: that market gets up to eighteen million a year and

394
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: you've got two guys sitting at ten, they're gonna happy

395
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: to stay at ten. We'll see. This is like a

396
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: March show. I know it really is. All right, we're

397
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: gonna take our first break. We're gonna come back. Dave

398
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: and Nick are gonna talk about the storylines and also

399
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: going to talk about this Chicago defense will do it

400
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,719

434
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: the second segment of the Break laugh in the WBC

435
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: Mortgage studios. At the start, we got way off track

436
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: and at last segment, we're gonna jump back on track.

437
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: This segment, Nick start us off by talking about the

438
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: storylines Cowboys versus there, all right, the Bear storylines. I'll

439
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: do this quickly. They're six and six. It's not the

440
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: same as the Cowboys six and six. They're they're way

441
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: back in their division because they actually have good teams

442
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: in their division. The Cowboys are obviously six and six

443
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,959
Speaker 1: in the lead, but there's still six and six, so

444
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting game there. As far as Mitchell Trubisky,

445
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: he talked about it yesterday. He's just kind of struggling.

446
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: Unless they're playing the Lions. He hasn't been that good.

447
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: But we'll see. You know, we've seen. Was it Josh

448
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: McCowen or who was the quarterback that just killed him

449
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: in that game? And yeah, Josh McCown way back in thirteen.

450
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 1: It happened. Sometimes there other defenses unbelievable days. Gonna talk

451
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: about that little bit. And here's the stat I like

452
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: about Khalil Mack six and a half sacks this year,

453
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: five forced fumbles, so he only gets there, but he

454
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: knocks the ball out. David Montgomery. That was one of

455
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: the things I talked about. He's second in the NFL

456
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: and rushing yards for rookies though. Um. And then one

457
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: guy that you do have to watch for. I don't

458
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: know if he's gonna make his list is Cordarell Patterson.

459
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 1: He is a beast. He leads the league and kickoff

460
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: returns and he will bring it out. It doesn't matter

461
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: where the ball is, he's coming out with it. He

462
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 1: had one hundred and two yard kickoff return. He's had

463
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: seven in his career, which is third in NFL history.

464
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: He's one of the best kick returners in the history

465
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: of the NFL. Really, no doubt. He was sept Wow.

466
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: Seven for touchdowns. There's two guys with eight. Um, No,

467
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: he's a more. He was a pump return guy. Hey,

468
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: he had kickoffs. He had something super Bowl, but everyone

469
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: in Super Bowl but um, Leon Washington and Joshua Cribbs

470
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: had eight. I didn't know Leon Washington was at that.

471
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: I didn't think so either. Josh Cribs, I knew, did

472
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: but but Cordarell Patterson, he's had some. He's had one

473
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: hundred and nine one as well. So you know, like

474
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: Tony poll is waiting for the ball to get past

475
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: them and then he boomed, it's a touchback. This guy

476
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: he needs to get it in my heart needs to

477
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: kick it in the gold or is not happening. Yeah.

478
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: The funny thing about the Bears is they can the

479
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys can probably relate like they are a really good defense.

480
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 1: But I feel like they're victims of their own expectations

481
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: this year because I mean they're they're seventh and total defense,

482
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: they're top ten across the board, their fourth and scoring,

483
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: and yet at the same time, you're kind of like, oh, man,

484
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: like they're not doing as well as I thought they

485
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: would do, just again because of the expectations. Like they

486
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: have twenty eight sacks on the year. That's less than

487
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,479
Speaker 1: the Cowboys do. So we're I mean, we're sitting here

488
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: saying DeMarcus needs to play better. MALIEK. Collins, you know,

489
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 1: he hasn't been as good as we thought. It's kind

490
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: of the same for the Bears. Mali Khalil max six

491
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: and a half sacks. I mean that's that's not what

492
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: you expect from this world wrecking you know guy that

493
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: everybody knows from the trade from Oakland and everything. They

494
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: only have thirteen takeaways this season, which you know, going

495
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: all the way back to when Marinelli was there, the

496
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: Bears are famous for. It just seems like they get turnovers,

497
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: you know, three or four a game. It's not happened

498
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: this year. Mac has got five forced fumbles, but uh

499
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: they don't have anybody that gets picks the way that.

500
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: Um that some of their older you know, the dbs

501
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: of old the people Timant, Denil Manning and all that

502
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: type of stuff. Um, Hi, sorry, we've got are my bad. Um.

503
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: So I mean that said, they are really good. I

504
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: mean I just read all the stats off for you.

505
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: I think a big part of it is a Keem

506
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: Hicks has been on injured reserve for most of the year,

507
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: really underrated nose tackle in that defense. I think he

508
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: opens things up for everybody else. He is coming back

509
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: next week, so chalk that up as another fortunate miss

510
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. They have not capitalized on the vast

511
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: majority of those. Uh, so he won't be there in

512
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: this game. So I think, um, you know that that

513
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 1: takes that detracts the quality of this front a little bit.

514
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: I think, like I said, he opens things up for

515
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: other guys. Danny Trevathan and Roquan Smith two really good

516
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, sideline to sideline type of linebackers. Um Smith

517
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: from Georgia, Right, yeah, man, Yeah, he was, he's he's

518
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: he's good. He's not. I don't know that he's playing

519
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: up to the billing yet. He has mirrors the Cowboys

520
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: so much because last year those linebackers, they were talking

521
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: about them the way they were talking about vander Eshan

522
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: and Jaylen Smay. Don't fall into the trap, Derek. Last week,

523
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: remember Dave was kind of like you know, ed Oliver

524
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: is good. Absolutely again one more time, hit Oliver. I

525
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: didn't say at Oliver's bad. You just said that it started,

526
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: which shows the depth of what the Bills are. But defense, yeah,

527
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: you made it better yesterday because you told us that

528
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 1: the offense for the Bears is really great. I'm not good.

529
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm not a scout. I didn't just tell you what

530
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: I watched. Which is funny because the last game they

531
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 1: put on tape, they didn't play very well against David Blow.

532
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: I don't even know how to pronounce David it's either

533
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. I don't know. He's a seventh round

534
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: pick out of Purdue. The Bills put up three hundred

535
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: and ninety yard I mean the Bills. The Lions put

536
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: up three hundred niney yards on these guys. They ran

537
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: the ball well four yards per carry, hundred yards on

538
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: the day. I will say it's interesting. His first pass

539
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: of the day was a seventy five yard touchdown. Guy

540
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: just got behind Prince of Mukamara. Looked like there was

541
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of a communication lapse, and then in

542
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: his first six he went four of six for one

543
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: thirty and two touchdowns to start the day. He finished

544
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: with two hundred and eighty. So I think the Bears

545
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: figured it out after a while. It's it's more fun

546
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: to poke fun at him for giving up big plays

547
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: to a seventh round pick, But they figured him out

548
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: after a while because he needed thirty eight passes to

549
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: throw for two eighties. So you know, they still gave

550
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: up the plays, but I think they kind of buckled

551
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: down a Mukamara's got a hamstring injury. He classified himself

552
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: as a game time decision, So that's something to watch

553
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 1: What do you want there? You want him to play

554
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: or not. I'll take I'll take the GEMPI guy who

555
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: has not played up to his draft stock in the

556
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: first place, healthy or not, Like he's never been really

557
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,239
Speaker 1: good against the Cowboys, way with the Giants and all that,

558
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: Like he's been a guy you're like, go get out there.

559
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: By all means, yeah, I'm fine with the Mukamara playing.

560
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: Kyle Filler's a really fuller, is a really good cover guy.

561
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: He doesn't have the picks this year, kind of mirroring

562
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, right, Like good coverage, not getting takeaways. This

563
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: whole like that whole defense just mirrors to me what

564
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were last year to this year. You know, yeah,

565
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: I very much agree with that they have an edge

566
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: at safety. I mean, I know, and I know, but

567
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: I think Eddie Jackson's a really good player. Em and

568
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: Haha Clinton Dicks are a nice pair back there. They're

569
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 1: both I know. The Cowboys say their guys are versatile.

570
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: That's not true. These guys are both versatile in the

571
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: sense that either one of them can play up or

572
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: back again. I was I was surprised when I looked

573
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: into this and found out how few takeaways they have

574
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: they I mean, they're right there with the Cowboys in

575
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: terms of not taking the ball away. So you know,

576
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: i'd heard that drop in a while, the hahaha Clinton

577
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: Dicks won, Maybe we don't have it anymore. I guess

578
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: he left the division, so okay, But I mean the

579
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: talent's definitely there. And like I said, I mean, you're

580
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: nitpicking because this is still a top ten unit. But

581
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: I think people in Chicago are probably like, oh, weren't

582
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: these guys better last year? Like what happened? Where? Where

583
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: did our elite, elite defense go? Do you think that?

584
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: Is this one of those units that you think and

585
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: turned on any given week? Or they have some systematic problems.

586
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because Hicks isn't there, Like is this a

587
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: team that this week could be their defense could be

588
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: back to what it was last year. Here's a fun

589
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: Here's a fun stat that I stole from a Bears

590
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: beat writer off of Twitter. Dallas has owned five against

591
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: top ten defenses this year and the Bears are solidly

592
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: in the top ten. So yeah, I do think, I mean,

593
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: I think the Bears are capable of doing something with that. Twitter, Yes,

594
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: I did. Why did you have it too. Sorry Cowboys storylines,

595
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: but it's okay because they were four. They're owing three

596
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: going into the Bill's game. They lost that one, so

597
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: oh and four. I mean the Jets have a top

598
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: ten defense, so do the Saints. Yeah, I and yes,

599
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: And I think tail as old as time. I think

600
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: they will focus on the run game, you know, for

601
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: all to talk about how Zeke doesn't have it. I

602
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: think you're still seeing defenses making an effort to stop

603
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: that first outdoor game. I know the weather's not supposed

604
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: to be absolutely miserable, but I think you stand a

605
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: way better chance of having of asking the Cowboys to

606
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: pass their way to a win in conditions like windy. Yeah,

607
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: that's the part you got to worry about there, is

608
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: it windy in Chicago? I mean that's what they would say, right,

609
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: heard things about that that could be the problem here

610
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: and not the coal the win. That could be the issue.

611
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,080

612

655
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit about something that

656
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: Jerry said earlier this morning. He was on his on

657
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: the local radio show here on the Fan with Sean

658
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: and RJ and I don't even remember what the question was,

659
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: but basically they were talking about Jason Garrett his future

660
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: here and and Jerry kind of threw this out at

661
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: the end of his statement, but it was it didn't

662
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: go unhurt like. It was almost just at the end,

663
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: almost as it's come just this little like I think

664
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 1: he was just wrapping things up. But it was, in

665
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: my opinion, the most interesting comment of what he said. Basically,

666
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: he said he expects that Jason Garrett will be coaching

667
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL next year. What are your thoughts on that?

668
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: My thought on that is Jerry Jones is aware that

669
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: he is the final authority on whether or not Jason

670
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: Garrett coaches here. Right, Maybe what if Jason Garrett says out, well,

671
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: M maybe theoretically possible to sign this thing. I'm tired

672
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: of this crap. What if he says that it's possible, like,

673
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: it's very possible. They finished their game. They finished their game,

674
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: and whatever that game is January February, I'm sorry, December

675
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: or January? Wow, and ruling February out. Huh, well, show

676
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: me something before we talk about that. Okay, But but

677
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: for a now, let's just say they finished the game

678
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: in December January, and it's possible that Jason could be like,

679
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, just this whole thing being a coach in Dallas,

680
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: it's not my thing anymore. I want to go somewhere

681
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: where there's less stuff, there's less extra stuff, right as possible.

682
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: It's possible, but I don't buy it, especially because of

683
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: the moolah that would be attached to a new contract

684
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: from Jerry. I are you sure that that's gonna be

685
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of mulah. It was thirty

686
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: five million last time. That's a lot of money. That

687
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Yes, yeah, unless you're DeMarcus Lawrence

688
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: or Jerry Jones. I mean yeah, it's not like Jerry

689
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: was like thirty five that's it all right? Well, actually,

690
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: Sean and r J said something really funny. They were like,

691
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: you know, what do you say to people who criticize

692
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: you for being too optimistic. But the way they framed

693
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 1: the question, they were like, you know, we're not always

694
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: as optimistic as you are because we don't have four

695
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: billion dollars in the bank. And I was like, yeah,

696
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 1: I ain't that the truth. Yeah, you can be optimistic

697
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: when you got four billion back. You got a pretty

698
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: big safety net. Yeah. I thought it was very telling.

699
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if if Jerry Jones really wanted to make

700
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: a statement, he'd be like, he'll be our coach. He

701
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: didn't say that. Yeah, that's how you you know, you

702
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: really want to show support, I mean, just sign him.

703
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 1: But you know, he said, the problem is you don't

704
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: know who you can guarantee. Who can guarantee you a

705
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Yeah, so who's got the exclusive skills to

706
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: get the job done so that collective you can win

707
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl? There are qualified people. Jason Garrett is

708
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: one of them. In my opinion, Jason Garrett will be

709
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 1: coaching in the NFL next year. I mean, okay, like

710
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 1: where like right with you? That seems very like follow

711
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 1: up ish, like yeah, whah. The interview ended on that question.

712
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: Was he also in the same interview, he said you know,

713
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: he's he's my guy, he's the man for the job.

714
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: But man, it's just not a ringing endorsement when you

715
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: know the guy that ultimately makes the call on who's

716
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: coaching the Cowboys is like, yeah, I did, he'll he'll

717
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: have a job in the league. Couldn't he just say?

718
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: Couldn't he just say I will not make any coaching

719
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 1: move for the now or the rest of the season.

720
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: Like in the season, let's talk about it again. But

721
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: I'm done. I'm done. I'm not gonna make a move

722
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: right now. We're in first place. It's not what we want,

723
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: but we still have a chance to get there. I'm

724
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: not making a change. Would just be a bad idea

725
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 1: for where we are. It's not happening. We'll talk about

726
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: the end of the s He's already said that he's

727
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: not making a change this year, did he not? I mean,

728
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 1: in the in the comments he made post game this

729
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 1: last game. Yeah, I thought he was very clear about

730
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: the fact that we're not getting better by firing him

731
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season or in firing him

732
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: during the season. We're gonna, you know, basically saying we're

733
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: gonna this is our guy. We think that he has

734
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: the right stuff to be able to get us through now.

735
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: He may not have said it is as definitively as

736
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm not making a move this season, but he all

737
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: but said that, like he made it very clear that Jason,

738
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: and because he was even asked to follow up by

739
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: by Mike Fisher of so you're saying that you can't

740
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: be you don't get better by getting rid of Garrett

741
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 1: this year, And he said, that's absolutely right. We don't

742
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: get better. They don't have a coach on this staff

743
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: that can that can do that right now, will make

744
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: you better, that'll make you better. I just right now

745
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: I should say no, I mean they don't. They don't

746
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: have a coach on the staff that could do that,

747
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: that could make you better right now. That's the point

748
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: I'm stop. He might not he might not be writing it.

749
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: He might not be writing it in like fifteen points, sharpie,

750
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 1: But I feel like Jerry Jones is writing on the

751
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 1: wall right now. There's another quote he said this morning.

752
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: He said, if I were leaving training camp today, I'd

753
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: like to have this run that I've got right now,

754
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: four games to get to the playoffs as healthy as

755
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: we are, get our act together relative to what we're

756
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: doing on both sides of the ball. And let's go

757
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: couple that with a bunch of the other things that

758
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: he said, including I think he'll be coaching in the

759
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 1: NFL next year. I just think Jason Garrett's going to

760
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: have to put together a legitimate run at or at

761
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: least close to the Super Bowl to be here next year.

762
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: I will say this, That's what I think. They did

763
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: ask him the question, what is the bar right and

764
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: and he did he said it. No. What he said

765
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: was basically, there is no bar what he was doing

766
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: with giving himself leeway. He was like, there is no

767
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: real bar that I've set for this thing. You know.

768
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: He basically was saying that I'm gonna judge at the

769
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: end of this whole thing how I think, not only

770
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,919
Speaker 1: how I think he's how he's done and our team

771
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: is performing, but I just want to see, like what

772
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 1: else is out there. That was where he got in

773
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: some of those other comments about do I have another

774
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: guy out there who I think ken get me farther

775
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: than where Jason's getting me? Sorry, go ahead, nine and seven.

776
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: This team goes nine and seven. They actually turn it

777
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: around a little bit. Go three, out of four. They

778
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: play the forty nine Ers, which is the team that

779
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: they would play right now. Forty nine Ers come in

780
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: as the number five seed with probably four or five

781
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: games better than Dallas maybe, and Dallas wins. They get it.

782
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: They finally beat a team with a winning record. They

783
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: go to Seattle lose. What do you do? Garrett out?

784
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: What do I do? What is Jason or what is Garrett? Jerry?

785
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: That's the fun? Yeah, that's that's the rub here. Fun

786
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: is not the right word, but that is what is

787
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: useful about this current situation. In twenty sixteen, Jerry would

788
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: have had to fire Jason Garrett following a playoff loss

789
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: to the Packers, which that's not a good look for anybody,

790
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: right if they if that scenario plays out, you can

791
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: just let him walk away and say, well, we're not

792
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: upset with the job that you did, but you're out

793
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: of contract, and we think everybody you know, it's he

794
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: goes and signs with somebody else like he and they

795
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: just let him do it. You know, you see players

796
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 1: all the time they're like, well just go check the

797
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: mark out and if you come back around, you come

798
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: back around. And the player doesn't come back around. It

799
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: could be a similar situation. This is just like the

800
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 1: AT and T commercial. Really, I mean, Elsa, oh okay,

801
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: just okay is not okay. That's really what it's come

802
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: down to. Is he the slogan he's been just okay.

803
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,240
Speaker 1: But with the Dallas Cowboys, it's not okay. It's definitely

804
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: not okay to the fans. So that's kind of where

805
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 1: where we stand here. He's been okay, he doesn't sometimes

806
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: really good, Right, Jerry doesn't have to set the bar.

807
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: He's not going to do it publicly. But like I

808
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: the way this has all gone, the way the season's

809
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: been up to this point, I just can't imagine him

810
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: getting an extension and having that press conference and everything

811
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: that goes with that without winning at least two playoff games. Yeah,

812
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: you're getting them into a game that they have been

813
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: twenty five years. Here's the thing. If they get to

814
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: the NFC title game, I kind of now I'm starting

815
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: to think, all right, yeah, because Jerry doesn't want to

816
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: let go of him in the first place. It's gonna

817
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: have to be clear, Jerry has to get rid of

818
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 1: him just because it's just not working. If they get

819
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: to a game that they haven't been to since the

820
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: mid nineties. Then I'm starting to think and if they

821
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: get to the super Bowl, then definitely, I think they

822
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 1: have to play in the SEC title game. Think it

823
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: was Marcus Spears today that said even a Super Bowl,

824
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: he probably wouldn't keep him. I think he said he

825
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't keep him. They wouldn't. I think, I think. I think, honestly,

826
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think if you get to

827
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game, I think that Jerry makes the

828
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: decision that he'd probably keep them around. But I just

829
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: think you have to read between the lions. You always

830
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: do with Jerry. But I just think the messaging is

831
00:40:56,440 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 1: there that he expects something extraordinary over the six weeks.

832
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: If he's not going to make a change, you know,

833
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: this is Yeah, it's about winning, but at the same time,

834
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: it's all the business. It's money, a lot of money

835
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: it's involved here. And I think that if that was

836
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: to happen where Jason Garrett is back, I wonder how

837
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: many fans are just gonna be like, you know what,

838
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: I'm done and that event you can say that you know, like,

839
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: oh yeah, there are some fans that are you gonna

840
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 1: stick around? No matter why, even though they're upset. But

841
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: at the same time, I wonder how big of a

842
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: change that would be and how much that money making.

843
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: I will tell you this. I will tell you this.

844
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 1: There have been times I've been extremely frustrated with my

845
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: college team, extremely frustrated, frustrated to the point where I'm like,

846
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm done. I don't want to watch anymore games. And

847
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: you know what I do that next Saturday? Still watch

848
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: the next game. Well, geez, I gotta turn this game,

849
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: because it's not I'm not. What I realize is I'm

850
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: not doing this for their benefit. I'm doing this because

851
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 1: I enjoy it. I'm doing it because and maybe it

852
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 1: makes me a glutton for punishment. I don't know, But

853
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: I'm doing this for my own enjoyment. And so the

854
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: question doesn't become do they turn up? The question is like,

855
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: do they want to stop watching football? Do they want

856
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: to stop being a fan of football? And most people

857
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: I don't think are going to get to that point

858
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: based on it. Now, there may be some yeah, absolutely,

859
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: and it is a personal decision everybody has a right

860
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: to make. Yeah, yeah, they start wondering, right, But it's also,

861
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: what have you done for me situation, What have you

862
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: done for me lately? That's always what it is, and

863
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: so right now it's hard to even imagine that. But

864
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: they're six and six. I mean, they're got to go

865
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,240
Speaker 1: win on the road just to have a winning record.

866
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,919
Speaker 1: But if they've turned this thing around, and just think

867
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 1: about what the vibes will be if you beat a

868
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: team like the forty nine ers and then you go

869
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: to Seattle and you beat that and we see the romos,

870
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: it does change every and then it's like everything is

871
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: totally has a different vibe than you go to the

872
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: championship game and all that. Oh god, we're getting ahead

873
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: of her. How about win a ballgames? Jerrys, Well, real quick,

874
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: let's get these predictions for the game. Nick, let's start

875
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: with you today. Who do you think is gonna win

876
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: this game? Or a segue from that to that. But um,

877
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: I haven't really thought of a score yet. Better do

878
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: it here on the fly. But um, I'm not picking

879
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: them to win. I'm sorry. I mean, they need to win.

880
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: They need to win the game. I've seen it, I've

881
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: done all of this. I've stood on the table that

882
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: they said they're gonna blow up the bills and they didn't,

883
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,240
Speaker 1: So I I just I think they're better than Chicago,

884
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: I think, but that hasn't proved anything right now, So

885
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: I don't have a good vibe that they're going to

886
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: go out there and get it together if they said

887
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 1: they are, if they if they prove me wrong and say, ha, great,

888
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: do it. But I don't think they'll win. So twenty

889
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: three nineteen Bears, all right? I actually I do think

890
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna win, but I'm not gonna pick them. If

891
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: that makes sense now, Yeah, no, no, that or whatever.

892
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: I don't care, Like, I'll just go along with you.

893
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: I think they're better, Okay, I don't think they're gonna win.

894
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 1: They like, they have given me no reason to pick

895
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: them to win this game. And you know, oh no,

896
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: they'll prove me wrong and I will demand an apology

897
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: for the five times this year I've picked them to

898
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: win and they lost. They're better than the Bears, I think,

899
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: like across you know, their offense. I like the matchup

900
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: of Dallas offense first Bears defense more than the alternative. Again,

901
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: but didn't I say that about the Bills too? Yeah,

902
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: I think like the Cowboys should be able to score

903
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,760
Speaker 1: twenty four against this Bears defense and hold the Bears

904
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: offense to like sixteen. That's what they should be able

905
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: to do. But I just I don't trust it, especially

906
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,240
Speaker 1: not on the road. They'll probably lose the turnover battle.

907
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: They do that pretty consistently. Khalil Mack has five forced fumbles,

908
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: and it'll you know, like nineteen to sixteen Bears a

909
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: lot of field goals, like tons of field goals five

910
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: or six of how many attempts though eight may eight? No,

911
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, five made field goals between the two teams

912
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: on eight total attempts. A good new kicker next week

913
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: nineteen sixteen Bears. All right, Well, after the loss against

914
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: the Bills, I did tell myself I am no longer

915
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: picking them to win for the rest of the year,

916
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: regardless if they were playing the Redskins this week. I

917
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: was like, no way. But but I do believe in

918
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 1: probability and the fact that the Bears have two games

919
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: that they've won on a road and the Cowboys have

920
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: lost two on a road. I think maybe the Cowboys

921
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: figure out a way to win in Chicago. Now I'm

922
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: in between there, like I don't want to pick them

923
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: to win, but because of probabilities. I think they would

924
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: get this win and they win. I don't know, Like

925
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 1: I think we're all twenty seventeen, we're all grappling with

926
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: the reality that we're gonna look like idiots no matter

927
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: what happens. Yes, the Cowboys are either gonna play up

928
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: to their potential and make us all look dumb for

929
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: checking out on them, or we're gonna pick them to

930
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: win again and they're gonna put up another stinker. Well,

931
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: I picked them to lose to the Eagles at home,

932
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 1: and they crushed them, so I slept okay every time.

933
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: That's yeah, that's whole different stuf um. You know, honestly,

934
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: I've decided. I decided after that Bill's game. I believe

935
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: in the theory that Bill parcels laid out by Thanksgiving.

936
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:12,919
Speaker 1: You know what a team is. So what I'm gonna

937
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 1: do from here on out is I'm basically going with

938
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: what I've seen. What I've seen is the Cowboys when

939
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: they're playing a team that's above five hundred, they don't

940
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: really play very well. They don't win those games. Teams

941
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: below five hundred buy and large except for the Jets,

942
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: they win those games. Now, that proposes in a boundary

943
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: for me. So there you go. That's that's my tie. Great, right,

944
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: So they won the only game that they played this

945
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,879
Speaker 1: year where the team was at five hundred. So I'm

946
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: gonna roll with that for this week. I can tell

947
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: you right now, I'm thinking next week, I'm probably not

948
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: picking them because that'll be a team that's probably a

949
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: buff five. I think they'll definitely be a hundred and five.

950
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 1: So I think this week they get a win. I

951
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: think next year, next week they make it interesting by

952
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: getting a loss, and then you see what happens in Philly,

953
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: because Philly is really the game that matters. Yeah, all right, hed,

954
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: you guys join us. We'll be back on Monday. I'm sorry,

Speaker 1: We'll be back on Friday this week, and we're gonna

956
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: let you guys know what we're right and wrong for

957
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,360
