Welcome to another edition of The Break. 9 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: We are live the SWBC Mortgage Studios at the Star 10 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: at a poppet Star like. Lots of a lot of 11 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: stuff going on today. Cowboys get their guy back. Diquel 12 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: Elliott Ezekiel Elliott is in the building, or at least 13 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: on the practice field today. He did to start preparing 14 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: himself for this upcoming game, the first game of the season, 15 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: and with a much much bigger bank account than either 16 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: of us will ever experience, I assume. But I got 17 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: my guys here, Nick Dave amberback with us. How's everybody 18 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: feeling this morning? I feel great. There is nothing nothing 19 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: better for the adrenaline system, the old shock start than 20 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: the six am work group text. Like we talk about 21 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 1: how we don't like to hear from you at ten pm. Well, 22 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: it's interesting hearing from you at five forty five am. Too. 23 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: Hell of a start to the old day. I mean, 24 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 1: we knew it was coming, but and you guys were 25 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: well prepared. We were as well prepared. You're you're as 26 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: well prepared as you can be. But still, you know, 27 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: wasn't expecting to have my MacBook in my lap with 28 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: me at five forty five this morning in my bed. Well, 29 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: let's jump right in. I want to get some opinions 30 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: from all three of you guys. I want to go 31 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: around the table. When you heard about the news that 32 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: they got the deal done and for the amount of 33 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: money that they got it done, tell me what your 34 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: initial reaction was, Nicholas, start with you that Zeke, you know, 35 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: did exactly what he wanted to do, and he pushed 36 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: the issue here and he won. You know, not to 37 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: say that the Cowboys lost. They're still getting a great 38 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: running back, the best in the league in my opinion. 39 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: But you know, they they had to come his way. 40 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: You know, they said they weren't going to set the market, 41 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: but they did. And you know, he's a cowboy for life, 42 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: and he didn't go to training camp, and now he 43 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: gets to play this first game and he gets fifty 44 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: million dollars guarantee. I think he's a winner. That's a 45 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: fun thing though, is did they set the market? It 46 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,839 Speaker 1: depends on how you want to look at it. It's 47 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: a six year extension that sets the market. It's also 48 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: an eight year contract that puts him very comfortably down 49 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: in about third place twelve point eight million per year. 50 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: I think, so, I think both sides get what they want. 51 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: I'm curious to know. You know, and this will come 52 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: out over time, but you know how it's structured, the guarantees, 53 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: how frontloaded and how backload is it backloaded? Is it? 54 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: How quickly can you get out of this? How much 55 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 1: is voided? If Zeke steps out of line? It matters tremendously. 56 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: And that's what we I mean a week ago, we 57 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: were like, it's gonna get done. He'll probably be here 58 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: for week one. What's it look like? And we know 59 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: the money. We still don't know that it's an eight 60 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: year contract for a running back. I mean, are we 61 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: kidding ourselves? Like, let's be real, Like we're all very 62 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: excited he's back, but what are the odds he plays 63 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: to the end of that deal. Is that sorry, but 64 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: you're good. No, I'm just happy that one he got 65 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: what he wanted, but he didn't in a way where 66 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: he didn't ruin relationships. I mean, you hear Jerry Jones 67 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: talk about him. You hear Jason Garrett talk about him, 68 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: and they all speak very highly of him and talk 69 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: about how much they love him, how much how important 70 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: he is to the team. I just I'm really glad 71 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: that along the way he didn't do it in a 72 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: nasty way where he comes out here and then people 73 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: are just negative about it, or you know, every one's happy, 74 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: everyone's in it, and it's great to see that kind 75 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: of relationship in chemistry around the team. Are you guys 76 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: surprised at all that the guarantees were so high? I 77 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: when I looked at the deal, my initial reaction is, okay, 78 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: six years, probably a little bit high, but whatever, um 79 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 1: ninety million dollars overall, Okay, whatever. The fifty million dollars 80 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: guaranteed is the part that that kind of took me aback, 81 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: just because that is setting the market. That's higher than 82 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: Girly who had previously. I think he got like forty five, 83 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: somewhere in that range, but he was significantly well, I 84 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: should say it just above above what Girly got. Did 85 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: that all surprise you guys that he got more guaranteed money? 86 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: I would say yeah, because that's what we talked about 87 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: a week ago, is that, you know, the guarantees, the 88 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: the lack of trust that he's going to be available 89 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: are really the only issue a week that you have 90 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: with seek. You know, his on field performance is impeccable, 91 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: um And I mean that's that's what it took. I guess, 92 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: and that's why. But I do want to know. I mean, 93 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: how's that going to hit you three years from now, 94 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: four years from now, if you do decide to part ways, 95 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: or if he declines or whatever might arise. Because if 96 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: if it's not structured in a way to let you 97 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: out of it in a few years, then it's a 98 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: bad deal. In my opinion, I am going to assume 99 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: that it is well structured. I don't know that off 100 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: the top of my head right now, but an eight 101 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: year contract for anybody should give you some pause, especially 102 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: for the guy that plays the most physical position. The 103 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: guarantees have got to be right off the bat. I mean, 104 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: I don't know any other way that they could structure it. 105 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: I mean, it's got to be this year's roster's guarantee. 106 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: They got to have roster bonuses early on. You got 107 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: to have a signing bonus, you know, right now, which 108 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: a bulk of it. I mean, you got to do 109 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: as much as you can within the frame of the 110 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: of the salary cap. I mean, because I know there 111 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: was a report that I've got all this money on 112 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: the cap, but you know, they had a running back 113 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: that was making three million a year. I don't know 114 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: how much he was hitting towards the cap, but now 115 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: now it's a lot more than that. And so, you know, 116 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: to make this thing work, like they were saying, it's 117 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: a lot of it's got to be structured, a lot 118 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: of it's gonna be guaranteed sooner rather than later. You 119 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: can't have a thirty year old running back making four 120 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: million a year guarantee. Previous experience with deals leads me 121 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: to believe that this is really like a three or 122 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: four year deal, you know, not an eight year deal. 123 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: But I don't know right now, but I'm going to 124 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: assume that that's the case, and that's that's it. Then 125 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: that's the cost of doing business. And fifty million guaranteed. 126 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's what Girley got for a four 127 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: year deal. So really, and let's say let's say he 128 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: does play out the whole thing, then it becomes a bargain, 129 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: assuming we don't have to do this again. It's a 130 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: bar and I no, no, And actually I was gonna 131 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: say that that's actually a great point from the standpoint 132 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: that if you get let's say, six years from now, 133 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: and he's still producing at a high level, at the 134 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: same level or similar level to what he's producing right 135 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: now than you are, because guess what, Yeah, he google 136 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: be a Hall of Famer. But the point will be, 137 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: these numbers are just going to keep going up every year. 138 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: With every Alvin Kamara will get more, and whoever else 139 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: comes after him will get more, and these guys will 140 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: keep getting more and more and more. So you get 141 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: four or five six years down the road, Zeke will 142 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: be a little lower down that pecking chart as far 143 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: as number amount of money. Now, the problem with that is, 144 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: as we just saw in this instance, he still had 145 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: two years left on this deal and went back to 146 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: the wealth. So what makes you think if that's happening 147 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: at that point, he's not going to do the exact 148 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: same thing and say I want a new deal. The 149 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: oodles and oodles and oodles of history that suggests that 150 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: running backs hit a pretty sharp decline by the time 151 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: they're twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty nine, unless you're just 152 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: so special, yeah, and which he could be. You know, 153 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: if he's Adrian Peterson, then this deal was a bargain. 154 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: And if he's not Adrian Peterson, then I would bet 155 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: you can get out of this after the time. Is 156 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: there a report on the signing bonus? Not yet. That's 157 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: and that's the thing is, you know, it's got to 158 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: be a very high The agreement comes first, and then 159 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: the terms and then you know, maybe even a week 160 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: from now, we'll start to hear because about the specifics 161 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: of it all. Because if you think about it, if 162 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: you get a high signing bonus, it's why you would 163 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: extend it and make it a six year deal, just 164 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: so you can, you know, you can kind of cut 165 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: that up and spread it over the course of six seasons, 166 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: really eight seasons, you can if you put it in 167 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: right now. So I would imagine when this numbers come out, 168 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: I would imagine that the signing bonus is going to 169 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: be relatively high. That's why you make it stretch it 170 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: out for so long. All right, So let's get into 171 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: expectations for this Sunday. What do you guys expect to 172 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: see when Sunday comes around and the Cowboys take the 173 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: field against the New York Giants. How much do you 174 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: expect to see Zekiel Elliot amber Well? Again, like they 175 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,239 Speaker 1: keep saying, we just have to see how he responds 176 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: to these next few practices. But I would like them 177 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: to throw him in there a little bit. I think 178 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: this is the perfect game to do that. Where you're 179 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: going up against the Giants, you don't really have to worry. 180 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: I know we'll get into the Giants defense and all that, 181 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: but you don't really have to worry about getting a 182 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: guy like Zeke in there. You got other guys that 183 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: can do that, Tony Polar So this is the perfect game. 184 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: Too easy him in. We've mentioned smilar things with Byron Jones. 185 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll he'll be playing or not, 186 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 1: but just throw him in there a little bit and 187 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: get him a good feel for it. He's he can 188 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: definitely handle the Giants with no problem. I'm starting to 189 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: get nervous at the way, and I include myself in that, 190 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: like a lot of writing off of the Giants going 191 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: on from that from the outsider's perspective, not the team, 192 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: but us. Use. Those are always bad situations when it 193 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: just everything says one thing. In the NFL, especially at 194 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, it just it works me. 195 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: There's no way, there's no way it can be the 196 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: other way. I mean, it shouldn't be seen, it should 197 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: not be I've seen crazier things happen. I would expect 198 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: him to be out there for the first snap of 199 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: the game. I don't. I mean it's dumb, but I 200 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: think that matters. I mean, you just gave him this money, 201 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: Like half the crowd's gonna be wearing twenty one jerseys 202 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: and chanting Zeke and all that stuff, and get the 203 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: first carry of the season. But like he'll be on 204 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: some kind of pitch count. I would think, like no 205 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: more than thirty snaps, you know, if they play sixty 206 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: five seventy snaps in a game, like maybe half of it. 207 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: I agree, I think that he'll start. I think Tony 208 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 1: Poller will will play more than what Rod Smith did 209 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: and I think that they'll have a little bit more 210 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: of a rotation there. But I don't think that you're 211 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: really gonna see a big difference this week because I 212 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: think we signed him. We made this big fuss. You know, 213 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: everybody's talking about it. Let's put him out there, and 214 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: it'll also determine on how he's how he's playing in 215 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: the game. But like I said yesterday, you know, the 216 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: freak back factor has to to you know, weigh in 217 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 1: here and we're gonna find out. We're gonna find out 218 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: if this guy can come in from Cabo on Tuesday 219 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: and play and be effective on Sunday. I would be 220 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: I would be surprised if he gets more than like 221 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: a dozen or so carries. Though a dozen, yeah, I 222 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: mean I don't. I just I don't think you want 223 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 1: to put thirty carries on a guy who just came 224 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: back from Cabo. It's a big difference, though, I mean 225 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: between twelve and thirty. Yeah, I mean, I don thirties 226 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: a lot, but twelve. I think if you have a 227 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 1: good first half, you can get you can get more 228 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: than twelve. I would be surprised if he gets more 229 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: than twelve. Let's put it that way, right, he doesn't 230 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: have to get all carries. He can still be out 231 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: there just moving, say, I mean thirty snaps and you 232 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: assume he's not going to get a touch on every 233 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 1: single snap, so probably somewhere around twelve to fifteen carries. Yeah, 234 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: putn't pick up that blitz. Yeah right, that's that's a 235 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: big part of it, because you know, other than that, 236 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: like you don't have a lot of experience back there 237 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: running backs. So having a guy that you know can 238 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: pick up the blitz probably is a good thing and 239 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: you don't lose learning how to do that. If he 240 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: knows how to pick up the blitz, he should know 241 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: how to pick up the blitz, right, he's been a 242 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: practice or not. It'll be fun to see how they 243 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: play this, because like they're not just gonna throw them 244 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 1: out there for the first half and then they're like, whoa, 245 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: you hit your count and it's the fourth quarter, you know, 246 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: like the Giants are down three, but they're like, well, 247 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: he got his thirty snaps, Like we're not putting them 248 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: out there. Like, so they're gonna have to be judicious 249 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 1: about this, assuming they don't feel comfortable just giving him everything, 250 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: like you know, we We've joked for years about like, well, 251 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: Alfred Morris gets the third possession of the game, doesn't 252 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: no matter what, no matter what, if he's humming or not. 253 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: So I would guess there's gonna be some mixing and matching. 254 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 1: Hopefully it's not too frustrating to watch. Yeah, I went 255 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,199 Speaker 1: back and put some numbers to it. Yesterday we talked 256 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: about how Zeke has started the season these last three years. 257 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: Check this out. In the first three years, first two 258 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: games of the season, his averages three point seven yards 259 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: per carry, and he has about sixty six yards per game. 260 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: Third game and beyond four point eight yards per carry 261 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: and one hundred and eight yards per game. It's a 262 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: little over a yard per carry more and about forty 263 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: four yards per game more. He's not been a guy 264 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: that traditionally has had a great start, so I think 265 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: we should just kind of pull it down just a 266 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: little bit. He'll be back, that's the great part about it. 267 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: See what happens. I also want to see how much 268 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: adding in a different kind of back that they can 269 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 1: kind of mix in with him helps that a little bit, 270 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: because you know that I think they'll probably have a 271 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: little bit more excitement at the backup running back position 272 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: than they've probably had in quite a while, and maybe 273 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: that helps with getting you know, defenses a little bit 274 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: off kilter a little bit. But we'll see. It would 275 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: be fun in a I mean, just imagine, like Zeke 276 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: has a very solid but pedestrian like twelve carries for 277 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: fifty yards, maybe even a touchdown, but like Tony Pollard averages, 278 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: you know, he has like a seventy five yard run 279 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: or something. You know, but just that actually create a 280 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: hell of a conversation on the morning talk shows. Tony 281 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: Pollard actually may be able to make this deal actually 282 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 1: make a ton of sense, if that makes some sense, 283 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: because if you have a running back that actually really 284 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: can legitimately give Zeke time off the field for him 285 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: to not have to have the number of touches and 286 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: carries that he's had in previous years, you may actually 287 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: be able to see a good part of this six 288 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 1: year deal. This eight years that they have him on 289 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 1: the contract, you might be able to see him get 290 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: through most of that because you're not working him at 291 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: the same pace as you worked him those first three years. 292 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: So it'll be important for Tony Pollard or somebody to 293 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: be able to be a good spell type back, somebody 294 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: that can come in and give you some good production 295 00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: so that Zeke doesn't have to carry that full low. 296 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: And I don't think though, I mean we're talking about 297 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: other backs. I mean they have to make a move 298 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: here for when Zeke officially goes on the roster, So 299 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: it would make sense that one of these running backs 300 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: would not be here. Explain to me where they are 301 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: right now? Is what is the deal? Because obviously he's back, 302 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: but is he on the roster the way it hasn't 303 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: been another move? No way I understand it. I mean, 304 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: in these situations, you're usually granted an exemption by the NFL. 305 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: He can be here without you having to make a move. 306 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: I mean you get basically get here. You get the 307 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: three days to evaluate him without having to kick somebody 308 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: off your team. And if he plays, which he will, 309 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: then they have to make a move by a Saturday. 310 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: Probably so And I mean, if I had to guess 311 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: right now, would probably be Alfred Morris. Do you think 312 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: it has to be a running back or do you 313 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: think in this instance, I know, yesterday you guys are 314 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: saying maybe you keep that extra running back just so 315 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: you kind of mix between the three guys. But do 316 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: you think it has to be Alfred more? Do you 317 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: think it's most likely going to be offered more so, Well, 318 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be obviously, but you know they 319 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: brought Jordan Chun up. Now, maybe they decide to put 320 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: him back down. But I think he's a special team's guy. 321 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna try to fig out of way 322 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: to get him to the game. We said all along 323 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: if if Zeke's here, I mean Alfred was only signed 324 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: when Zeke wasn't here. So I think you know it's 325 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: all about and guaranteed. I mean I said during the 326 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: summer I thought Alfred would be on the team regardless, 327 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: which maybe not because again the forty six man roster, 328 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: two running backs that don't play special teams, that's hard 329 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: to work with. And his salary I believe since he's 330 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: on the roster on Tuesday, I believe his salary. Now 331 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: I was guaranteed for the entire season, Alfred Morris and 332 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: all veterans, and the likelihoods you could probably keep him 333 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: around and if you need to resign him back, to 334 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: resign him back, I would think cutting him on Saturday 335 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: does not mean he's done with this team by any stretch. 336 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: If they were really gonna just cut him and say 337 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: see you later, I mean, would they even let him 338 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: change numbers? I mean, would they go through that process like, oh, 339 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: Le's changed numbers and be like, you're about to be 340 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: cut anyways. Oh what do you tell the guy if 341 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: he's like, I won this jersey number you, Oh, well, 342 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna cut you. And you're sure about that? Are 343 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: you sure you want to change? I don't know if 344 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: I can't do that because we've got Scandrick. You know, 345 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: we're going to retire as a number or something like that. 346 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: Justice protection, I would probably want to keep Alfred Morris 347 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: because I'd probably make him inactive every week. But just 348 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: having that insurance in the event that if you don't 349 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: feel great about Pollard being able to be your workhorse 350 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: back in the events he goes down, then I think 351 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: that gives you a little bit of insurance. Knowing that 352 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: Zeke has been out of training camp gives you a 353 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: little bit insurance just in case something should happen here, 354 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: you know, in this time when he's having to kind 355 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: of reacclimate himself to the NFL and to playing football, 356 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: all right, let's take our first break.

We've been talking 406 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: about Zeke's contract. We're going to talk about the Giants here. 407 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: Coming up today, We're going to focus in on the 408 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: Giants offense. Before we do that, Nick though, give me 409 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: a quick update on injuries. There are a lot of 410 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: guys that towards the end of training camp were kind 411 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 1: of out and getting back into practice. Tell me where 412 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: we are heading into this first full practice before the 413 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 1: Giants game. As far as injuries are concerned, Well, the 414 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: main guys that were banged up that all came back 415 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: last week. I mean the key one I think was 416 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: Byron Jones. I mean, Byron is a guy that we 417 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: thought might be limited with a hip injury for this game, 418 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: and he might be, but he looked like he was 419 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: okay out there. He was practicing and did some good 420 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 1: things there. I think Zack Martin was back, Mary Cooper, 421 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith, DeMarcus Lawrence, Tyron Crawford. I mean they're all. 422 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: They all not only did they practice Monday, but seemed 423 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: to respond well and practice on Wednesday. So we'll find 424 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 1: out today on an official injury report. I'm probably missing 425 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 1: some guys like a Darien Thompson and all that. Thompson 426 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: and Wilson are still out. Which Wilson we've found got well. 427 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: Cedric's on the practice squad now, Damien is gone, Blake 428 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: already doing some things like Blake and Jarwin. Blake. Darwin 429 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: and Dalton Schultz are both going Blake out there, Donovan Wilson, Silverthorn, 430 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: Darien Thompson. There was a third guy, oh, Luke Gifford, 431 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 1: which you know that, yeah, you're not going to see 432 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,239 Speaker 1: him see him for a while. Andy of you who 433 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: are healthy, I'm that certain you're good. You were good. 434 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: I can see him. Yeah, but yeah, I mean Byron, 435 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: you know, he was doing walk pre practice walkthrough. He 436 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: was doing practice, Like I don't know what that means. 437 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: Like I've heard whispers that maybe he's on a snap 438 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: count too, and you know, don't just give him the 439 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: whole workload right away. But early signs are positive. I 440 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: want to doing active right now, do you I mean 441 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: he's messing up Derek's whole flow. No, I know it's 442 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: a Friday thing and it and things will change by them, 443 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: but it'll be interesting to see. It will be how 444 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 1: they do this. It'll be very interesting. Once everybody's back 445 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 1: and healthy. And what I mean back is you got 446 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: Quinn back from I mean from from suspension, and you 447 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: got you know, everybody healthy. It'll be interesting to see 448 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: what they're gonna do because they got a lot of 449 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: decisions they'll have to make coming back. Stop it all right, 450 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: let's let's get into the giants. Dave, you're gonna give 451 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: us your your your assessment of this giant's offense. Walk 452 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: us through this thing. Yeah, I mean, you know, I 453 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: always say I like to watch at least like two 454 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: games of tape when we do this, just so I 455 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: have some kind of clue. But I'm sorry, I'm not 456 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: gonna watch more preseason football. I'm over that. I watched 457 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: enough with the Cowboys, Plus Daniel Jones did most of 458 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: it for them anyway, And honestly, as much as I 459 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 1: made fun of as much as I made fun of 460 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: the pick in April, like I'm pumped that it's gonna 461 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: be Eli Manning, I know what we've got an Eli. 462 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: I'm he's he's capable of beating you. But you know 463 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 1: what you've got. It's like you're annoying and who comes 464 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: in for holidays? You're like all right, Like I can 465 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 1: handle this for four hours. Uh so, yeah, I feel 466 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 1: good about that. I'd much rather play Eli than the 467 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: young stud I bet you. I bet you. The next 468 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: time they play this game, Daniel Jones will be the quarterback. 469 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 1: A reckless prediction on my part because they play in 470 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: like October, don't they or November early game since I 471 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: mean Eli hasn't missed a game since time, Like yeah, 472 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: like from injury. Yeah, they would likely have to bench. 473 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 1: Maybe it's like a you're injured, right, Eli? You hurt 474 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: your anxiet in that game, no, No, I'm not. I'm good, 475 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: but just without looking at it, I mean it's I 476 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: don't know, I know the NFL turns over a lot, 477 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: but like, this is just such a different team than 478 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: it was a year ago. I mean, Odell Beckham's gone, 479 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: Olivier Vernon's gone, Landon Collins is gone. I know those 480 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,479 Speaker 1: are defensive guys, but I mean you're you know, your 481 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: jersey sellers are all gone. Yeah. Um, so it'll be 482 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: interesting to see what this looks like. Like we said, 483 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: everybody's but he's kind of writing him off just because 484 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: there's not No, that's not true, because Okay, Sterling Shepherd, 485 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: we know he broke his finger early in the preseason. 486 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: He's back, he's ready to go. We kind of figured 487 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: that might be the case. So him and Evin Ingram 488 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: are your main receiving threats and then you and I 489 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,719 Speaker 1: shouldn't need to say much more else than that. Honestly, 490 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: throw out the part that Golden Tate was signed and 491 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,719 Speaker 1: he's suspended. Yeah, I don't have to worry about him 492 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: until no, when you play. No, I mean, honestly, Okay, 493 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd's a really good player. But Benny Fowler, who 494 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: was with the Rams for forever. I think he was 495 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: with San Francisco last year. Cody Lattimore Latimer excuse me 496 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: not Lattimore, UM, big draft pick with the Broncos who 497 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: never really panned into anything. My guy, Russell Shepherd, the 498 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: former LSU quarterback who is still collecting a paycheck in 499 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: the NFL ten years later. Good for him. Um, But 500 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: like you know, that's the receivers. That's guys you named, yeah, 501 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd, Benny Fowler, Cody Lattimer, Russell Shepherd. That your 502 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: top four then. Evan Ingram is legitimately a dynamic receiving 503 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: tight end, more of a big, big slot than a 504 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: tight end. Basically, Um, something to watch. But like that, 505 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: you know, with what we've seen from the secondary, don't 506 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: you feel pretty comfortable with that matchup? And Mike A 507 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: big dude to the ground. I mean get him to 508 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: the ground. I mean he's got really strong thighs, legs. 509 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: I mean he's hard to tackle. You're talking about get 510 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: to the ground. I thought you're talking about Ingram for 511 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 1: a minute. He's like for a tight end, he's actually 512 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: not that bad. I'm just saying when it comes to 513 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: playing the Giants, I think that's everybody's key. Tackle that 514 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: guy well and make sure he doesn't get loose and great, 515 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: go crazy on. This was a team that last year 516 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: gave up forty seven sacks of eli. They were still 517 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 1: sixth most in the league. What is their offensive line? Like? 518 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 1: Did they upgrade it? Is it pretty much the same 519 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: as what it was last year? Still there? No, no, Actually, 520 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna get flowers in week two though, yes he's 521 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: with Washington now. Nate Soldiers still there, Will her Nandez 522 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: the uh the big draft pick, John Uh. I never 523 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: Halapio or Halopio? How are you pretty underrated? Underrated center? 524 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: In my opinion? He was like I hit somebody and 525 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: then I mean, okay, Odell Beckham is gone. But Kevin Zeitler. Zeitler, 526 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: he's their new right guard, a very very good right guard. 527 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: So like this, you know, the joke the offensive line 528 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: has been a joke for the Giants for like five years. 529 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's not a joke anymore. It's better, 530 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: it's I would call it good, Okay, it's it's a 531 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: good offensive line. It's certainly better than it was when 532 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: they were throwing flowers out there at left tackle. Four 533 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: or five years ago. So combine that with say Quon 534 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: and a quarterback who knows what he's doing even if 535 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: he's on the decline, Like that's nothing to scoff at. 536 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: I still think it matches up pretty well with the Cowboys. 537 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: I mean, we've been talking. This is the most talent 538 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 1: they've had on their d line in a decade. You 539 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: just paid one of your linebackers and the other one 540 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: was an All Pro last year. Like, step it up, 541 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: let's go. In my opinion, we're gonna quickly take our 542 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: final break. When we come back, I'm gonna ask you 543 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: guys the question. The last time that we saw this 544 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: Cowboys team in a regular season or not a regular season, 545 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: in a game that meant something, they were getting run 546 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: over by the Los Angeles Rams. Now they face Sae 547 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley.

Back to the Break, 585 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: Welcome back. It is the final segment of the Break 586 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: Life in SWBC Mortgage Studios. At the start, we're talking 587 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: about the Giants offense. Cowboys will take on the Giants 588 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: sist Sunday three thirty five is a kick time at 589 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: AT and T Stadium in Arlington. Before the Break, I 590 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: was asking you guys. The last time we saw this 591 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: team on the field, they were playing the Rams, and 592 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: that wasn't a good day for them from the standpoint 593 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: of stopping the run. Now you face what is, in 594 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: my opinion, if not the best in one of the 595 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: top two to three running backs in the NFL, and say, 596 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,719 Speaker 1: Quon Barkley, you think they're up for the challenge. How 597 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: comfortable do you feel that they can handle this challenge 598 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: a lot better than that game. I don't really know 599 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: if the Rams. I mean, I don't understand that Gurley 600 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: is really good, but the Rams offense is to me 601 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: what makes that so good? They were so dynamic, they 602 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: have a really good quarterback, those that down the field, 603 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: good receiver speed, A lot of things you have to 604 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: account for it. And I'm not saying that the Giants 605 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: don't have. Well, they don't have as much as what 606 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: the Rams did. That was evident by the records and 607 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: how far they finished and all that stuff. So I 608 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: do think it's more of a one man show with 609 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: the Giants. You can't take those guys for granted, but 610 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: I think that it's a much different animal when you're 611 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: facing the Rams and what they've got going on. My 612 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: main is at our main impression from the Rams game, 613 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: like how out of character it was, Like, well, we 614 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: saw it twice at towards the end of last year. 615 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,959 Speaker 1: We saw saying with the Cults, right and again, if 616 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: you're saying that this offensive line is a little bit 617 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: better and you're facing a really, really talented running back, 618 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: are you convinced that or do you feel good about 619 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: the fact that this defensive front can make stops in 620 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: the running game against a guy like that. I remember 621 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: saying this last year about the offense. Actually, I was like, 622 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: you know, my ex dictations start at zero and based 623 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: on what I've seen, this is why I have confidence 624 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: to believe this. That and the other end. The offense 625 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: proved me wrong and I said that like two weeks 626 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: into the season. But the body of work from last year, 627 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: the amount of guys that are back and what they've 628 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: looked like during the preseason, which is awesome. In all 629 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: of the looks that were gotten, like my my base 630 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: expectations like, yeah, they should be good and they should 631 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: be up to this. Like that's not to say, you know, 632 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: se Quon Barkley is going to make some plays. He ran, 633 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: he ran for one hundred yards in that game in 634 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: week seventeen, one oh eight with a long of sixty eight, 635 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: which I don't I have no memory of that whatsoever, 636 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: but I'm sure it happened. But like they're, they're up 637 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: to this, I think, until they proved me wrong. Because again, 638 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: those the Rams game in the Colts game were such 639 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: bizarre outliers because they were so strong against the run 640 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: for most of that season and as opposed to the Rams, 641 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: like Nick was mentioning, right now, you have a lot 642 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: less elements to worry about, so you can use your 643 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: defense differently where you can focus more on stopping him 644 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: rather than having to deal with all these other aspects. Now. 645 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: I remember last year we were trying to figure out 646 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: whether to buy into the whole defense or not. Right now, 647 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: I'm completely bought in. I am bought in. I feel 648 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: really really good about the defense. I feel good about 649 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: the defensive line. You know, DeMarcus Lawrence. Just looking at 650 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: him and every time he makes a post, you know, 651 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: his energy just hypes you up even more. So I 652 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: feel good. I'm not concerned whatsoever, And that game against 653 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: the Rams, I forgot about it. I've moved on. I'm 654 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: focused on now, and I think they're gonna stop the 655 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: Giants pretty good. Yeah. One thing to note about sae 656 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: Quon Barkley. You can stop him a lot during the game, 657 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: but where he made his money last year was on 658 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: those big plays. You know that sixty yard or check 659 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: this out last year twenty plus yard runs. He was 660 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: a leader in the league with sixteen. The next closest 661 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: person had eleven. With forty plus yard runs, he had seven, 662 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: again first in the league. The next closest was four. 663 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: He made his living off of those big plays. So 664 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: you can stop him a lot. What you have to 665 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: worry about is then you got that one run that 666 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: happens in his eleventh carry, and now he takes it 667 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: to the house. Fifty years they'll have our run. We'll 668 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: have our run. You score a touchdown, you got a 669 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: touchdown pass to Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, we got even 670 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: Jason Witton and include him in there. We got a 671 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: lot of stuff to come back now, and you know 672 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: ours Jason went and running here forty Okay, not a 673 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: big run. I'm talking when you're in the red zone 674 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: right there, poop, easy touchdown. And that's the part that 675 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: could help here. And we'll get into that when we 676 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: talk about the Cowboys offense versus a Giants defense tomorrow. 677 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: The Cowboys can get their offense rolling and get the 678 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,719 Speaker 1: kind of lead that takes the running game away from 679 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: the Giants. Now you have to worry about sake. One 680 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: still is a pass catcher, but it does change the 681 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: dynamics of the game a little bit if you can. 682 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: If they don't, if they can't just get back there 683 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: and just try to pound the ball the entire game, 684 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: He's gonna get them. He will. That's just football, especially 685 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: at the NFL level. But like I think you can 686 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: mitigate that with all of the other fat factors that 687 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: you have working in your favor. Home field advantage being 688 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: one of them. You know, we talk teams. A lot 689 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: of teams travel really well to A and T at 690 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: and t. The Giants are never one of them. You know, 691 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: like you never, you know, like a lot you'll see 692 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,719 Speaker 1: you know, you'll see a lot of red in the stands. 693 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: Sometimes Eagles travel really well for division games a lot 694 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: of times. Never the Giants. It's always a super pro 695 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: Cowboy crowd season opener, and I think the Cowboys are 696 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: just better. Yeah, And you know, you said, you said 697 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: red zone and easy in the same sentence, like easy, 698 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: that's the hope, that's the hope. And you know, and 699 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: I do think that when you when you talk about 700 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: how you know this year going to be better in 701 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: a lot of ways, we'll see if Kellen Moore has 702 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 1: been working on it, he's got to be working on 703 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: the red zone stuff all year long. I think your 704 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: center is going to be better, which is recognizing different things. 705 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: Your quarterbacks should be better for, you know, just being 706 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: a year older in this system. And then Jason Whitnett 707 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: tied end. So I think that those are three really 708 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: good reasons why, maybe four good reasons why the red 709 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: zones should be better this year. I don't I mean, 710 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: I know Jerry Jones was in New York this morning 711 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: at the Stock Exchange, so I know this didn't happen, 712 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: but I like to imagine he stopped by Garrett's office 713 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 1: with Zeke's contract and like threw it on the desk 714 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: and was like, here you go, no more excuses. And 715 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 1: then Jason Garrett picked up that contract and walked down 716 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: in the hall to Callen Moore's office and threw it 717 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 1: on the desk and say here you go. No more 718 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,360 Speaker 1: excuses because there aren't anymore. All right, Let's get to 719 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: this No agree? I agree? Yeah, all right, so let's 720 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,839 Speaker 1: get to this question I have about the offense. If 721 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 1: you look at obviously we know sae Quon Barkley is 722 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: the most important cog in that will but what would 723 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 1: be the next best, biggest offensive threat they have. Would 724 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,720 Speaker 1: it be Sterling Shepard or would it be Evan Ingram? 725 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 1: I think the Ingram, especially when you look at the matchups, 726 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 1: think about the matchups and do they be playing against? Yeah, 727 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: I just I just feel like, you know, even the 728 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: really good defenses that the Cowboys have had in the 729 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: last few years, I don't think they're good as this one. 730 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: But you've seen that the tight end has has been 731 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,399 Speaker 1: able to kind of hurt him a little bit. So 732 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 1: he would be a guy that I think that you know, 733 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 1: he could move the change even before you know it, 734 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 1: he's thirty yards down the field. And so he would 735 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: be the one that I think that he would be 736 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: more worried about as somebody who's owned him in Fantasy twice. 737 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: He never he's never on the field, like he gets 738 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 1: hurt a lot. All I mean, it's week one. Though, 739 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: if there's a week where he's gonna be available, it's 740 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 1: this one that's interesting because Brian wrote about this I 741 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: encourage you to read on the site. He picked Ingram 742 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: as one of the Giants three guys to watch, and 743 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: Cowboys have struggled with tight end. But also they've had 744 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: their moments. I mean, Jeff Heath for all the stats, 745 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 1: Jeff Heath played arts really well when it mattered last year. 746 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: I wonder if they will let he do that again 747 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: on Sunday handle Ingram rather than maybe try to put 748 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 1: a dB on him or what have you. I think, yeah, 749 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: it's probably Ingram. These cornerbacks have just had such a 750 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,720 Speaker 1: good camp. I would like to think that. And Sterling 751 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: Shepherd is good. He got an extension in the off 752 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: season two. But yeah, Ingram is the bigger X factor 753 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: because I trust the people that might be covering him less. 754 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: I agree with that, and I think you can stop 755 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: him most of the time. But he's a guy that 756 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 1: will sneak in there and make a few plays that 757 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:22,479 Speaker 1: you didn't expect. So I would am I fully worry 758 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 1: about him, No, but he would be another guy aside 759 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: from it is it? Did you just say those two 760 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: guys are You're just saying, anybody, if you got another guy, 761 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 1: throw him in there. Well, I think the Hall of 762 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,839 Speaker 1: Fame quarterback, like he's going to the Hall of Fame. 763 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,439 Speaker 1: He's won two Super Bowls. He doesn't get sacked a lot, 764 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,879 Speaker 1: and there's a reason for that because he couldn't take 765 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: a bunch of hits. He gets the ball out pretty quick. 766 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: So if those receivers, if if Shepherd and Ingram, if 767 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 1: those guys can get open quick or maybe Barkley. I mean, 768 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 1: he relies on that because I do think the defensive 769 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 1: line is going to be in his face all day long. 770 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 1: But the thing about Eli has always been where he's crafty. 771 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: He knows how to kind of get away from stuff, 772 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,800 Speaker 1: maneuver in the pocket and get the ball out. And 773 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 1: if he's moving the chains. I mean, there's a reason 774 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 1: why he's still the starting quarterback. I mean, you know, 775 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 1: they could have made the move to Daniel Jones if 776 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: they really wanted to. He's I think they still feel 777 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,879 Speaker 1: like he's better right now. Rope. But I mean so, 778 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 1: I mean the Giants swept them in sixteen. It's really 779 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,720 Speaker 1: more about their defense frustrating the Dallas offense than anything. 780 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 1: I mean, they won one of those games ten to 781 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 1: seven and the other one twenty to nineteen, and they 782 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 1: don't have two of their best defensive players that they 783 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,720 Speaker 1: had last year. That's the part that's that that should 784 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,839 Speaker 1: worry them a little bit. I would think, I know 785 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 1: that he has done it during his career, but in 786 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 1: the time that I have covered the Cowboys, I have 787 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 1: yet to see Eli Manning out duel them, you know, 788 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,319 Speaker 1: just zip them downfield and all that good type. I 789 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 1: have not seen that well, right, And you're what you're 790 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 1: saying is is the defense that he's relied on a 791 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 1: good defense. He just doesn't make mistakes all the time. 792 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:54,319 Speaker 1: I mean, he's I'm trying to go through. I'm just saying, like, 793 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: if it gets in a situation and all of a 794 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: sudden the game is close or whatever, which I don't 795 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 1: think it should be, but if it is, you know, 796 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,280 Speaker 1: he's a guy that can get the ball down the field, 797 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:03,879 Speaker 1: and he can he can move him down the field. 798 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 1: He's done this a thousand times. No absolutely, I'm just saying, 799 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: you know, and they you know, last year they went 800 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: back and forth and it was this high scoring affair. 801 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 1: The Cowboys won. I just what twenty twelve when Dez 802 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,959 Speaker 1: missed the touchdown? Was that twenty twelve when he missed 803 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,839 Speaker 1: it by like the tip of his finger. That was 804 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 1: probably the last time that ELI like outscored the Cowboys, right, 805 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 1: I mean every other time it's kind of been this defensive. 806 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 1: I can't remember what year it was. Miles lost it 807 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,759 Speaker 1: in the lights stadium. Yeah, that was a pretty bad loss. 808 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 1: It's funny like in I started in thirteen and the 809 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,879 Speaker 1: Giants were the season opener, then of course they were. 810 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 1: It's every three out of eight, six out of eight years. 811 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: This will be six out in the least eight years 812 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 1: they've started. In twenty thirteen, it was like, can they 813 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,959 Speaker 1: finally beat the Giants? Are they gonna get over the hump? 814 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 1: Finally beat Big Blue? And like, in the time I've 815 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,360 Speaker 1: been here, they always they always beat the Giants. I 816 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,440 Speaker 1: mean they got swept in sixteen, but every other year 817 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 1: it really hasn't been that much of a problem. Yeah, 818 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 1: real quick, before we end the show, I have a 819 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 1: couple of questions from a Twitter I wanted to hit 820 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 1: bass Reeves asked the question how much does Goff's new 821 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,880 Speaker 1: deal affect Dak and Jake also followed that up with 822 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 1: with with a Zeke contract now finally wrapped up, who 823 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 1: do you expect to hear something about more next? Would 824 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 1: it be Dak or mar? So let's talk a little 825 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: bit about those other contracts that are out there. How 826 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 1: much does the Golf deal affect what they're doing with 827 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:23,800 Speaker 1: Dak or what they want to do with that effects 828 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: a lot, actually, I mean, because he's just another player 829 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 1: that's that's in that mix of you know, in the 830 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 1: range of thirty. The one thing I have heard about 831 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,320 Speaker 1: the Golf deal Golf and Wentz and guys that already 832 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 1: had this is like a contract extension is guaranteed money 833 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,279 Speaker 1: is playing a big factor there because they're taking the 834 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: overall I don't know what what Golf's overall number is. 835 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 1: I believe it's like eight hundred it's over one hundred 836 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,239 Speaker 1: million maybe, but it's one hundred and four guarantee guaranteed. 837 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: But the thing about the full number you already had 838 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 1: about twenty four to twenty five and the first part 839 00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,719 Speaker 1: of it, so because it's still the last couple of 840 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,359 Speaker 1: years the number one deal, so it's really about eighty 841 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,799 Speaker 1: million news. So I think what Dak's camp is trying 842 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,319 Speaker 1: to get into the one hundred and four. But the 843 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: thing is is that they're starting at zero because he 844 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 1: didn't really have any money guaranteed to start with. So 845 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:13,799 Speaker 1: that's kind of one of the hang ups that I've 846 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,359 Speaker 1: heard about the Wins and Golf deal is that these 847 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 1: guys are getting you know, they're not really dealing with 848 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 1: new money, They're dealing with the overall thing. Yeah, I 849 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: mean typically and talking about following contracts like that's the 850 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,800 Speaker 1: way it kind of goes, is like one deal gets 851 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: done and then the next one and you're like, all right, 852 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 1: we can sandwich you somewhere in there. The thing that 853 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 1: makes me wonder is, we know Dak's not going to 854 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: get forty, but if it's true that he's gunning for 855 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 1: thirty five or thirty six, then his representation might not 856 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,759 Speaker 1: care about the golf deal. You hope they do when 857 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 1: ideally the negotiation brings it down into that range. But 858 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: if that was the case, part of me thinks they 859 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 1: would have had this done by now, Like if it 860 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 1: was that easy as being like, all right, well this 861 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 1: is where we slot in, then it would be done. Well. 862 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: Maybe it also might be that the golf deal. They 863 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: were kind of wanting to see where that would it was. 864 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 1: Was WinCE an outlier or was it kind of consistent. 865 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 1: It seems like the Winz deal and the Golf deal 866 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: seemed to be pretty parallel. They're pretty close. Would you 867 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 1: make me think Dak should probably be somewhere in that 868 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 1: range of around thirty two. You would be a great 869 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,880 Speaker 1: person to ask when did Romo sign his not the 870 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,360 Speaker 1: one hundred million one in thirteen, but when did he 871 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,360 Speaker 1: sign the one in like oh seven? I think it 872 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 1: was the bye week of like Week six, or was 873 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,360 Speaker 1: during the regular season. It's the bye week, I believe 874 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 1: in mid October. I think I think you could see 875 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,239 Speaker 1: I think it'll be DAK. I really like, I don't 876 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,920 Speaker 1: think Amari cares, and I think he wants not right now, 877 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,839 Speaker 1: and I yeah, and obviously he cares, but like not 878 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: like today today. Today he's making fourteen this year. He's good, 879 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,919 Speaker 1: and I think he wants to see what Julio Jones 880 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,920 Speaker 1: gets for the same reason that's Jared Goff. I wouldn't 881 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 1: be surprised to see Dak sign anywhere between tomorrow and 882 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 1: at some point during the season. Wow, I mean not 883 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 1: like I'm not saying you don't think the point is 884 00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 1: you don't think he gets to the off season, it 885 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,359 Speaker 1: actually gets to play with a Cowboys. I'm not saying 886 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 1: I'm hearing whispers. That's not I know, but that's like 887 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 1: when when they called to say they're going to come, 888 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,440 Speaker 1: some repairman's gonna come and we'll be there between eight 889 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 1: am and next Friday. You know, you're like, like, can 890 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 1: I get a smaller window than that? Said tomorrow or 891 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,880 Speaker 1: the end of the season. I woke up yesterday morning 892 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 1: to news that Lyle Collins had signed, and like nobody 893 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 1: in the world had said anything. So what I mean 894 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 1: is I'm ready for anything. I think Dack will get signed. 895 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: I would be surprised if it gets to the point 896 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 1: where it's like, you know, franchise tag time that I 897 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 1: mean that, Yeah, I would just be surprised by that. Like, 898 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 1: there's got to be a way you can come to 899 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 1: a compromise, especially if he's willing to negotiate during the season. 900 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 1: Stephen Jones said that they have not heard any talks 901 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 1: about tabling it, and you have precedent. The last quarterback 902 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,759 Speaker 1: who rose from making no money to making a lot 903 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 1: of money, did it so sometime between tomorrow and all right, guys, 904 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 1: appreciate you joined this back tomorrow at eleven forty five 905 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 1: a m. Till then for Nick Even, Dave Helm and 906 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 1: Amber Garcia. I'm Derek Eagleton.
