21
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: of where I feel in this morning, great, great, good, lovely, awesome, fantastic,

22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: Danny victory Tuesday, right, that carries over from Monday? Why not?

23
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: I mean a victory like that that lasts longer than

24
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: just your standard twenty four hours. Right, so twenty four

25
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: hour rule only applies to coaches and players anyway, good point.

26
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: You can write that all week if it's if you

27
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 1: want to. Yeah, absolutely, going all right, So let's first.

28
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: I want to talk first about injuries. There were a

29
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: couple of injury updates we had yesterday. Pretty remarkable that

30
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys finish this game, that not only did they play

31
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: a great game, but they came out relatively clean. There

32
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: were two injuries though, of note. Tell us about those

33
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: two injuries and what we can expect this week with

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: regards to Randall Cobb and Jeff Heath. Jeff Heath, he's

35
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: dealing with a couple of different things. But he spoke

36
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: in the locker room yesterday. He you know, I believe

37
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: he called it regular football stuff. He's going to be

38
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: there Wednesday, he says that shouldn't be a problem. We

39
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: didn't talk to cop, but I'm gonna go out on

40
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: a limb and say, I think it's probably something similar.

41
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean, football is incredibly violent, especially at the pro level,

42
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: and every guy has something really painful happened to him

43
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: in every game. So Cobb's got a lower rib thing,

44
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: is what Jason Garrett described it as. I don't think

45
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: it's severely limiting, but we'll see what he does tomorrow

46
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: at practice. Ye, any question, I mean in those offensive linemen,

47
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: I mean I think that Zack Martin, that's something he's

48
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: just going to have to deal with. I mean, he

49
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: was able to go out of the game just because

50
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: that you know the score, But I think that it's

51
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: something Wednesday or Thursday. You're gonna see limit limited from

52
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: him every week, and you know he's just gonna have

53
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: to manage this thing. But he didn't play his best game,

54
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, he had a couple of penalties

55
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: when I used to see in that out of him,

56
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: but I think overall he played pretty well. What are

57
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: the what do we what do we know about guys

58
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: like Donovan Wilson, Deary and Thompson. If anything, just because

59
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: now you got Heath a little banged up, starts to

60
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: wonder a little bit with those other two safeties also

61
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: being they were out last week due to injury. What

62
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: do you hear about them? Thompson it was a high

63
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: ankle sprain. He's been out for a few weeks now. Um.

64
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: I think he's been back with the trainers on the

65
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: on the side fields doing some running. I would doubt

66
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: that he's ready this week. And again I never knew

67
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: about Donovan Wilson. Was it high ankle sprain on him? Yes,

68
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: or it's an ankle sprain. I don't know if it

69
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: was high ankles, so I don't know if it's the

70
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: dreaded high Yeah, but I'm serious when you'd put that

71
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 1: high high, everybody gets rially nervous, right, Yeah. That it'll

72
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: be interesting to see if if if Heath is kind

73
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: of banged up, and if they can get Thompson back

74
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: in there. But it was Stephen Jones was the one

75
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: that said right around roster cuts that Wilson probably wouldn't

76
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: be available for the first few weeks. So, I mean

77
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: thinking at least two games, maybe three, but we'll see. Yeah.

78
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: So I mean, does that raising level of concern for

79
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: you when you start thinking about the fact that last

80
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: week they entered with three safeties, and now you'd be

81
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: inter presumably be three. That one is a little banged up.

82
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: I mean I was standing right there, Danny, you were too,

83
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: And Jeff Heath I'm going to take him at his word,

84
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: and he didn't seem very concerned about it. And I mean,

85
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: everybody gets hurt one way or another in every game.

86
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: I also think the next two opponents maybe not so

87
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: worried about what Washington Miami's pass game to kind of

88
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: rush back right just writing them off. I love it,

89
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: let's go. I'm just saying, like I I would not

90
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: rush them back for the next two weeks if there's

91
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: no need to. You mean you're talking about Wilson and yeah, yeah, yeah,

92
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. I mean three three safeties does seem a

93
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: little light, but they made it through this game. I

94
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: think Goodwin can play some safety if you needed to.

95
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: It's probably I mean, he's not not ideal because he

96
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: hasn't practiced it, but the guy really can run. I mean,

97
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: that's one thing about him that he's one of the

98
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: fastest players they've got on the team. We didn't talk

99
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: about that tackle. From our angle on the press box,

100
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: you could just see it coming a mile away. I mean,

101
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: he was just flying down there, and you know that

102
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: doesn't feel good for anyone. I mean, I can kind

103
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: of see why they try to get the kickoffs limited

104
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: and not because that's where this is nothing but like

105
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: a train wreck going on there. It's the most dangerous

106
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: play in the game. Probably that's fun why they're trying

107
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: to take it within the next well, I mean, I

108
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: guess it would have to be this CBA. Well maybe not.

109
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: They're going to take that play out of out of

110
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: the NFL because it out of the Pro Bowl. I

111
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: don't know, but out of something where I forgot what

112
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: it was, but I was watching not too long ago,

113
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: or I think that was going on this year they

114
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: would do it. Oh the American Alliance of whatever, No

115
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: something I watched. Um wow, I didn't watch that. Okay,

116
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: no one else did either. Obviously that was no one

117
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: else did either. NFL games are gonna just start at

118
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: the twenty five, like within the next decade. Well, you

119
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: saw that this preseason when they had the game where

120
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: they had the field that was jacked up and they

121
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: were like, well, let's not do kickoff so we had

122
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: an eighty yard field, Let's just start there and go.

123
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: So all right, let's let's watch another topic. I want

124
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: to talk about Dak Prescott. After after his amazing day

125
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: on Sunday, four and five yards, four touchdowns, no interception,

126
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: a perfect hundred and fifty eight point three quarterback rating, UM,

127
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: Jerry made the comment that his contract was imminent. That's

128
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: gotten a lot of press since then. It seems to me,

129
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: at least you guys can tell me from what Jerry

130
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: said this morning, it seems like he'd walked that back

131
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: a little bit from the standpoint that, Okay, when I

132
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: say imminent, it might not necessarily be imminent in Dak's mind.

133
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: Is what he said sounded like a dictionary when he

134
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: was asked about it, because it was like near close,

135
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: you know, in other words, with everyone. He kind of

136
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: was backing it up just a little bit. But it

137
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like that's like this happening today, although it

138
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: does seem like it's something that they want to happen

139
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: relatively quickly. How close are you getting the sense that

140
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: this deal is or is it any closer today than

141
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: it was last week? Sounds like what him and Stephen

142
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: Jones been saying the whole time of this can really

143
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: just happen really quickly, kind of not out of nowhere,

144
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: but it's not something that's drawn out necessarily for three

145
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: or four days. But things can just happen really quickly.

146
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: And that's kind of the vibe I was getting when

147
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: he was saying it's imminent, like he probably wishes he

148
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: would have paid Dak before that game, so I think

149
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: it'll happen soon. And he did say that if he

150
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: would have had a bad game, it wouldn't have changed anything.

151
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if I buy it. Maybe that's maybe

152
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: that's just just kind of saying it now because he

153
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: was the other one, right, But I bet you you know,

154
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: he made his point. I mean, whatever the point they

155
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: were making, he made it in a strong way. So

156
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: I think it does affect it. And I don't think

157
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: I want to let another game go by where he

158
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: does it again. But that might be to Jerry's point.

159
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: He's like, in my mind, it's on the cusp. I

160
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: don't that wasn't his Zach wording, but that's basically what

161
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: he said, and he's like, you know, I don't know

162
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: how Dak and his people feel, which now that makes

163
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: me think, like what if Dack's like, let's let's ride

164
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: this thing out and see if I really can put

165
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: some more zeros on that check. If I do this

166
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: a few more times, you know what I mean, whatever,

167
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: that would be amazing. What's kind of interesting because when

168
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: he was asked about Cooper he said something like, well,

169
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: I know Cooper is getting a deal done. You know well,

170
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: and that's I mean, I didn't read too much into

171
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: that because I Stephen and Jerry have said from the

172
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 1: beginning they're both getting deals. Like people try to make

173
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: it this dramatic thing like, oh, then maybe they The

174
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: only way, the only way the Cooper thing the trade

175
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: ever made sense was if you sign him and the

176
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys know that, and he went out and had a

177
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: like that's gonna happen. The only thing about Bill, he said,

178
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: is this a lot like the Dack thing. And he said, well,

179
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: I know that. The thing about Cooper, I know that

180
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: it's getting done. So he said that about Dak too,

181
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: though he said, like, um, you just said the game.

182
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: He was like, it would matter if you played a

183
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: bad game. I think they asked them. They're like, you know,

184
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: are you are you still evaluating and he's like, with

185
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: the type of money that goes into this like we're

186
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: way past the point of evaluation, right, Like that's so,

187
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I just feel very confident both are going

188
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: to get done. It would be awesome if it happened

189
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: in the next week or so, but I don't know.

190
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: So here's the question I have for you, guys, as

191
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: of Saturday, what would you And I'm not talking about

192
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: the team. I'm saying if you were the GM, what

193
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: would you have been willing to pay Dak Is it

194
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: around that thirty two million, which is kind of where

195
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: you net out for guys like Wentz and Golf, or

196
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: was it more? And now on Tuesday following the game

197
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: that he had, has that price gone up at all?

198
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: Or you still write where you were before. Let's start

199
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: with you, Dave, I would be willing to pay him

200
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: slightly more than what Jared Goff got, just because the

201
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: resumes are comparable as of Saturday or as of today, No,

202
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: as of Saturday like that. I mean, that's the way

203
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: these things work. I've been saying that for six months.

204
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: Is like, regardless of you know, whether or not he's

205
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: elite or like definitively better, like the next guy just

206
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: gets a little bit more money. Like Goff got a

207
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: little bit more than Wins. I think most people would

208
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: agree Wins is better than golf to this point in

209
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: their careers. Winz isn't as healthy. But that's just kind

210
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: of how it is. Like the next guy gets a

211
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: little bit more. I would be willing to pay Dak

212
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more than Jared Goff I would have

213
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: been on Saturday. I definitely am. Now, Hey, what people

214
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: that go to California teams or any any state with

215
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: an income tax. I mean, it's completely different because if

216
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: you think about, like in any industry, a writer. We

217
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: got writers that have left here that work in Los

218
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: Angeles probably making way more money than we are just

219
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: because of the cost of living. But in the NFL scope,

220
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: it's not the same. I mean, I guarantee they can

221
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: make exactly what Jared Goff is making, and Dak's going

222
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 1: to see way more of it golf will and then

223
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: cowboys are trying to put that figure that in factor

224
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: it in and the agents not having any part of it.

225
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: But I mean, it is a thing. It's a thing

226
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: for Wentz and golf and it's not a thing for Dak. No.

227
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree a lot with you. Dave of

228
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: I would have paid him around the thirty thirty two before,

229
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: and there's so many DAC caters and I don't I

230
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with paying him that. And the

231
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: Cowboys know that this is who they want their long

232
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: term quarterback to be. I think after his performance on Sunday,

233
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: you have even more confidence in him. And I think

234
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: it's helpful that now they have a lot more threats

235
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: as opposed to, you know, this point. Last year it

236
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: was wide receiver by committee. I think I think Prescott's

237
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: going to have a phenomenal year just with the people

238
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: around him. I'm telling you where quarterback exactly where the

239
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: hold up is. The hold up is that guaranteed money

240
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: because of golf and wins, and they got their money

241
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: way beforehand, and so it's ballooning that price up to

242
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: a hunt was one ten, one O five was the

243
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: was the guarantee one ten and guarantees I believe, But

244
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 1: twenty six of it was already from which previous contract

245
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: and that's the DA didn't have anything like that. So

246
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: it's really that's what the Cowboys. That's the big sticking

247
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: point right now is that guaranteed money. Yeah, but they're

248
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's not Dak's responsibility to care about this,

249
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: but like the report is that he makes like fifty

250
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: million dollars in endorsements, and I guarantee you Jared Goff

251
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: doesn't make that much endorsement. And I think that's the

252
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys whole thing from the beginning. And I think it's

253
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: a valid point for the Cowboys. I mean, like, you

254
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: didn't get that because of you, You got that because

255
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: of what? Because of us? Yep, and not only that.

256
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: And somebody pointed this out to me the other day,

257
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: and it's so true. All they have to do is

258
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: just look around the landscape of the NFL. And what

259
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: I mean by that is the guys that are doing media,

260
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: the guys that are getting opportunities to do big, big

261
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: things in media, that's not because of anything more than

262
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: they were good players, not even sometimes great, good players

263
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: that happen to be playing for the Dallas Cowboys. So

264
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: their brand is much higher elevated, their name recognition is

265
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: much higher. You have a much better chance of getting

266
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: those opportunities. And so I think for some players who

267
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: want have ambitions of doing things beyond football once they're done,

268
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: this gives you just one. It gets you one step

269
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: closer to being able to get some of those kinds

270
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: of opportunities that other guys just won't get because they

271
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,599
Speaker 1: don't have the name recognition that the Cowboys can afford it.

272
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: J Smith with this extent, I mean, that's basically what

273
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 1: he was saying. Why he took the money he did,

274
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: was he understands the importance of this brand in long

275
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: term to make money after football. He understood that. It's

276
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: exactly right. All right, let's take our first break. We

277
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: come back. I want to talk about a couple of

278
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: guys that were inactive this last week that we didn't

279
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: get a chance to talk about yesterday, and what that

280
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: could mean for the future of those two players here

281
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: with the Dallas Cowboys. We'll talk about that when we

282
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: come right back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. Well,

283
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: a player could look good on paper, it's one he's

284
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: out on the field that you really find out what

285
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: he's made of. That's why the Cowboys rely on more

286
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: than just stats and scouting reports when building their team.

287
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: When picking a tractor, it's why you should rely on

288
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: more than just specs and features. You've got to take

289
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: it out and put it to the test the Cowboys

290
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: did when they named John Deer their official tractor experience

291
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,760

00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: Welcome back. It is the second segment of the Break

320
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: Life from this WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star and

321
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: I want to talk about a couple of guys this

322
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: last weekend that we're not active for the game and

323
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: what that could possibly mean. Tuckle, Charlton Tristan Hill both

324
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: missed the game. We're inactive. We started seeing some tweets.

325
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: I guess the morning of I think of Sunday morning

326
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: from Taco or actually it might have been Saturday when

327
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: he started counting tweeting and letting people know in cryptic

328
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: ways that he wasn't going to be playing. And the

329
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: question that I that kind of rang out to me,

330
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: and I got this from someone on Twitter, is why

331
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: is it that a guy like Taco is inactive when

332
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: for fans who watched him during the preseason, at least

333
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: in preseason games, he seemed to be performing pretty well

334
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: as a defensive end, had some games where he had

335
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: some sacks, and there seems to be there seemed to

336
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: be an arrow pointing up at least from the standpoint,

337
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: how fan see him watching him in those preseason games.

338
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: What have you guys heard behind the scenes as to

339
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: why maybe he is still a healthy scratch here the

340
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: first week of his third season. I mean, it's a

341
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: it's a good question because it's kind of head scratching.

342
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: He's better than Joe Jackson to play now. You could

343
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: say that Joe Jackson's got position flex. I don't see

344
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: him play a lot of defensive tackles, so I don't

345
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: know about that. I've seen Tacco play inside. I think

346
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: if they're making a statement or or for just being honest,

347
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe they're trying to trade him. Maybe they've

348
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: been working on something. Maybe they didn't want to Maybe

349
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: they didn't want to play him for that reason that

350
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: maybe he's not in their in their plans. Maybe they

351
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: didn't want to get hurt because they have to cut

352
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: somebody here in two weeks or in a week when

353
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: Quinn comes when Quinn comes back. So it's hard to imagine.

354
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: And I don't know if he'll be cut or traded

355
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: or whatever, but like it's hard to imagine they have

356
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: these huge plans for him if he's a healthy scratch

357
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: in year three, week one, all that good stuff, and

358
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: it's it is what it is. Um, yeah, I mean,

359
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: you're right. I haven't seen Joe Jackson play a ton

360
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: of defensive tackle that they say he's got that flexibility.

361
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: I guess that's fair. But assuming they're not doing something

362
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: like stashing him so they can trade him, the coaches

363
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 1: are in charge of those evaluations. They watched him in

364
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: the preseason, probably considered okay, who did he do that against?

365
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: And are those players actually any good? And we have

366
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence, Tyrone, Crawford, Dorn's Armstrong and Carrie Hyder who

367
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: we all think are better than him. I think, I mean,

368
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: It could be as simple as that, it's not a

369
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: great look for Taco. But it's not just about the

370
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: preseason games. You're right, because you're not playing starters. It's

371
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: also about practice and how you're doing throughout the week.

372
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. My gut feeling is I don't know

373
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: that he'll be here throughout the whole season. I think

374
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: maybe a trade. I agree, I just don't. I just

375
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: don't know. Like Dave said, you everyone's saying it. I mean,

376
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: how is he in your plans if that's the case. Now.

377
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: I also, I said this before the game, and this

378
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: is about both of them. You know, this is a

379
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: this is a really good football team. Like we know that.

380
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: We knew that going into the game, and I think

381
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: it was it was evident by the fact that you

382
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: got a first round pick from a couple of years ago,

383
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: a second round pick this year. You know, you got health,

384
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: you got healthy scratches, a first and second round picks.

385
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: It's tough to make the roster, it's tough to make

386
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: the forty six. You talked to Stephen Jones about that

387
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: in the pregame show. Just the depth Yea they have

388
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: on this. He said, it's the deepest team he could

389
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: remember in many, many years. Yeah, it's a very good point,

390
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,719
Speaker 1: and it's totally true. It's it's still it's it's just

391
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: not so much Hill but Taco. I mean, it's a

392
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: bad look. He's the twenty eighth all pick. I mean,

393
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: it's a bad pick. I think I think you could

394
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: just say it was a bad pick. He's not been

395
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: good at this point. If you if you're a healthy

396
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: scratch at the start of year three, I mean, there's

397
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: not many ways to sugarcoat that. What game was it

398
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: San Francisco? When he was talking like that, I was

399
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: standing next to him, and I hated that. I hated

400
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: that whole mantra thing he was going. He was saying that,

401
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't care if fans don't like me,

402
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: they don't let me. Maybe I don't understand all of it,

403
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: but I just didn't like the vibes he was saying.

404
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: There just almost felt like he was sort of just

405
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: kind of done with it, you know, it just kind

406
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: of I don't know. Maybe I haven't really talked to

407
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: him about it, I mean, but I just it just

408
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: felt like he was just like, I don't care anymore

409
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: what people think and that's not a good thing. And

410
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if I don't know how he's perceived

411
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: by his teammates or whatever. It's just a tough situation.

412
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: Maybe he he needs a fresh start. I don't know.

413
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: That didn't bother me that much because I think a

414
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: lot of times players do need to let go of

415
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: what people think. Because and and Taco, like, I don't

416
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 1: need to ask him about that. I can see it

417
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: by his social media activity, like he there are players

418
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: that are constantly chirping at fans and they're in you know,

419
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: people's mentions on Twitter and Instagram, arguing their point, defending themselves,

420
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: and like, I understand that very human impulse, but it

421
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: ain't gonna take you anywhere good. And so sometimes I

422
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: do think it's useful to let go of what the

423
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: public perception is. Has have you seen a differences as

424
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: he stopped doing it? Seems like he has, although but

425
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think it's a great look to

426
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: basically passive aggressively tweet about the fact that you're going

427
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: to be an active on Sunday on Saturday morning, being like, well,

428
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: I'd love to play against you, Eli, but somebody's not

429
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: gonna let me and it's not that good. No, But

430
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: that also maybe a part of this um It may

431
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: be part of it that the attitude is the issue. Yea.

432
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: You know, they may be seeing some things on the

433
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: field that suggests he's got some talent, but he just

434
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: may not have the attitude. The one thing I've seen

435
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: from Taco quite a bit that I think could probably

436
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: problematic for him is if you watch him during the preseason,

437
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: he'd have those plays where he had some sacks. There

438
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: were also a lot of plays where he would make

439
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: his first move didn't work, and you would just see

440
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: him kind of just okay, kind of live to play

441
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 1: the next play, right. He didn't seem to have that

442
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: relentless motor that if you listen to guys like Rod Marinelli,

443
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 1: that's all they care about is are you relentless? Are

444
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: you keep do you keep coming to your motor go

445
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: all the time? He doesn't seem to be, at least

446
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: in my opinion, doesn't seem to be that guy. And

447
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: I wonder if some of this last year, him being inactive,

448
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: him being an active first game this year, it's more

449
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: about the attitude and how you approach playing the game

450
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: more so than even the results. I buy that to

451
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: a degree, but like there are so many examples across

452
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: the league and this team, Like if you're a badass,

453
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: you can be the biggest problem child, pain in the butt,

454
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: like wrong attitude. But I'm not Let's be clear, I'm

455
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: not talking so much about attitude from him being a

456
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: bad person or malcontent in the locker room or anything

457
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: like that. I don't think he's that. What I'm saying

458
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: is he's not He's not the guy that is that

459
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: they're looking for. When they talk about the relentless defensive rushman,

460
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: which is what they call them right, they want him

461
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: to be relentless every play, every play until the whistle

462
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: is blown. I don't think he's that. Gushes don't be

463
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: the right fit. I think fresh stir. I don't think

464
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: he's a bad player by any means. I mean, the

465
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: Cowboys picked him in the first round for a reason.

466
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: It might just be he doesn't doesn't fit the best

467
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: here that he could somewhere else. And you know, when

468
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: you're talking about how people react to this, I think

469
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: the same could be said with Tristan Hill. I'd like

470
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: to see what happens with him. Um, you know, there's

471
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: been some questions about his maturity levels and on and

472
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: off the field, and let's see how he reacts to

473
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: being a second round pick that was a healthy scratch

474
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: as well. And and that's and to be I don't

475
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: want to defend it too much because again, I mean

476
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: top sixty picks should should play regardless, and I mean

477
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: maybe even start. I mean, you think about Malie Collins

478
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 1: started as a rookie and he was picked later than

479
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: where was Yeah, but having said that Malie Collins had

480
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 1: a hell of a training camp, we would all agree.

481
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: So I mean, it's certainly not surprising that he's not starting.

482
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 1: And if you've only got really what didn't they roll

483
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: with three defensive tackles? So I'm a little more forgiving

484
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: of that. Like I don't think that many people expected

485
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: Tristan Hill to make this immediate impact when he was drafted.

486
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: You know, the value of the position and the traits

487
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: that he had made him somebody that they wanted. I

488
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: will say, you know, hopefully that's you know, that's not

489
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: a season long trend. Like you met Chris Covington's sixth

490
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: round pick. He was inactive like every week last year,

491
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: and that is totally understandable. If Tristan Hill is a

492
00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: healthy scratch in November, that that's not great. Yeah, and

493
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: that week one no big deal. Yeah, And I think

494
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 1: what a lot of times fans forget, well this he's

495
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: a first round pick, is second round pick, I mean,

496
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: why aren't they there? Well, they've also got some wins

497
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: on the back end too. I mean they just said,

498
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: let's see if this Antoine Woods is worth anything any

499
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: and look at him. He's starting, and he's better than

500
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: Tristan Hell and Dorn's Armstrong is better than Taco. I

501
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: mean he fell in to the fourth round. I think

502
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: they were surprised that he lasted that long. And Joe

503
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: Jackson same thing. So, I mean for every one of

504
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: these guys that are that are high picks that are

505
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: kind of busting, they've also got guys. And I'm not

506
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: gonna call Tristan Hell bust. I'm just saying guys like

507
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: that that have had slow starts or it's not working out.

508
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: They got guys in the sixth, seventh round undrafted that

509
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: are doing it all evens out. Yeah. The part that

510
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: concerns me about any of this when you start talking

511
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: about particularly Taco, about them letting him go or trading

512
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: him or whatever. Is when I look at Byron Jones

513
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: and how much everybody was willing to write him off.

514
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: And we've seen this throughout, you know in the NFL.

515
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: I know you and I watched with the same thing

516
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: Halp with Flozo Adams. Everybody was convinced he needed to

517
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: go and build Parcels came in and all of a

518
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 1: sudden he turned into this great player. Same thing with

519
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: Byron Jones and christ Rah Shard. Sometimes it's about the

520
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: coaching year here. Sometimes it's about other things that can

521
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: help you get to the point where you need to be.

522
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's just development. I'm not saying that's going to

523
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: happen for Taco. What I am saying is it does

524
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: give me pause when you see some traits and you

525
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: see him make a play here and there, and then

526
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: you're like, are you giving up too soon on him?

527
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: I think you got to put a little bit more

528
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: respect on Byron Jones's name there, because he had started

529
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: every game of his career before he became an All

530
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: Pro corner I mean, he was a serviceable to mass

531
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: safety and then became a great cornerback. Taco, this isn't

532
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: even his first healthy scratch. He has had a negligible role,

533
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: to put it kindly, I don't think that's the same

534
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: situation here. Like Byron was disappointing, but had played a

535
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: meaningful role for this team for three years before he

536
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: finally broke through. We haven't seen that, TiO. Yeah, I agree.

537
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: And also, you know Rod Marinelli can coach you know,

538
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: defensive ends and all that. I mean, I'm not saying

539
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,479
Speaker 1: he's the best, because I'm sure there's other ones out there,

540
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: and it might just be, like Danny said, just a

541
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: just different start, different different situation might be better for him.

542
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: But who knows, I mean, who knows what's going to

543
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 1: happen with this team, And you know, there might be

544
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: another suspension down the road for this for this team.

545
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: We I mean we videos have come out. I don't know.

546
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna happen. I'm just saying that

547
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: having some depth on this defensive I'm not really trying

548
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: to imply we all saw it. I mean I heard

549
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: you haven't seen it. No, I heard about it, though

550
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: I heard about say him, it's talking about Crawford, Yeah,

551
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: I mean, different video came out tmzy and they definitely

552
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: let you know. It's where Crawford is in every step

553
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: of the video, and it's it's not great. I don't know.

554
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: Maybe the NFL has already seen that, maybe they haven't.

555
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm just saying having depth on

556
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: the defensive line, it wouldn't be bad. And you know,

557
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: you also have some injuries coming in totally put like

558
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: it's you know, and I think this conversation is totally justified.

559
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with it, but like, it would be

560
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: so typical if we're like the writings on the wall

561
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: for Taco and like, and he's here all year and

562
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: has a role to play, right, You just never know.

563
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: I just never know. All Right, we're gonna take our

564
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: final break. We'll come back. I'm gonna ask these guys

565
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: a question after such a huge Week one, what is

566
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: your biggest concern going for this team going down to

567
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: Week two and throughout the remainder of the season. We'll

568
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: do that when we come right back. This is Dallas

Speaker 1: talk about this team from a player's perspective. So we

622

Speaker 1: check it out this afternoon three pm Central Time, and

00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: at two thirty pm. It's actually gonna film around that time,

626
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be on the site a little bit later.

627
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: It's not a live show, but it's called Playmaker Playmaker

628
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: Spell with an h for playmakers and the point of

629
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: it is this is a lifestyle show that this is

630
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: a lifestyle show for It's a lifestyle show for females,

631
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: buy females, and it has a lot of different ladies

632
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: around our organization. I'm sure Danny will be on it

633
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: at some point, but they will be part of the

634
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: Castle Show. And then mar they have the wife of

635
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: a Randall Cobb, who is if you don't know a

636
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: lot about her, she is just she's bad. She's an attorney,

637
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: very very smart lady. She is. I was gonna say

638
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: something else, but yes, she's bad and she's she's an attorney.

639
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: And so it's gonna be a show that's gonna just

640
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: talk about football from a ladies perspective, but also life

641
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: around football and working in football and having family members

642
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: playing in football and that kind of thing. So again,

643
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: really interesting show. Make sure you check it out tomorrow.

644
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: It's called Playmaker. And those are two new shows are

645
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: gonna be starting up this week. I hope you guys enjoy.

646
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: All Right, let's get to this question I have for

647
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: you guys. This is a kind of a big, big

648
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: picture question. After the first game, Cowboys played extremely well.

649
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: Everybody's still riding the high of how well they performed.

650
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: Based on that, though, what is the thing that kind

651
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: of pulls you back? What is the one lingering concern

652
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: if you had to point to one that you still

653
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: have for this team as they move forward into Week

654
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: two and throughout the remain of this season. Let's start

655
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,959
Speaker 1: with you, Danny Um. I guess maybe run defense. I mean,

656
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: I know we're playing Saquon Barkley, so that alone is

657
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: a challenge. I think a lot of it also played

658
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: into the fact that it was the first regular season.

659
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: I mean, we saw the Cowboys defense had kind of

660
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: a slow start. They didn't, you know, recover the force fumble.

661
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: There were what I write down four hundred and seventy

662
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: yards given up. But they improved in the second half,

663
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: and so I think it'll get better. I think that's

664
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: just kind of things that happened in the first game.

665
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: But I think that would probably be one of my

666
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: only concerns that I really saw that stood out from

667
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: that game. Yeah, they weren't many, Yeah, Dave. I just

668
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: hotel hotels in South Beach are hard to get in February.

669
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: That's pretty much all I got. Kidding, I'm kidding, Okay,

670
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, does it starting first go and go all

671
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: the way to Arlington through Dallas. How are we doing

672
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: this such an absurd Please don't hold that against me, No,

673
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: please please hold that We need to use that throughout

674
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: the year here look good or bad. They did exactly

675
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: what I've been wanting them to do on offense for

676
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: three years. Like I couldn't have dreamed it up any

677
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: better with the you know, the tricker not trickery, but

678
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: the presentation, the motion and the and the play action,

679
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: all that stuff. We always talk about the jet action

680
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. But they're going to play better defenses,

681
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: Like I'm you know, you can only play who's in

682
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: front of you. But the Giants aren't a good football team. Um,

683
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: they were. They threw a rookie out there. He got

684
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: him exposed, as you probably expect. There's gonna be defenses

685
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: that can that can limit that, starting probably Sunday, even

686
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: without Jonathan Allen. There's some studs on that Washington defense

687
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: and we'll get into that. Um what what's it gonna

688
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: look like when it's not that effortless? Um? That's probably

689
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: my biggest concern is I'm I'm not ready to declare

690
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: them the new Rams after one win against the probably

691
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: very bad team. UM yeah, that's probably it, right, Yeah,

692
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: I mean I think that to Dave's point, let's see

693
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: what happens when you know you have to counter something else. Right,

694
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: you could do anything you wanted to in that game,

695
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 1: and they were are always two or three steps ahead.

696
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: But but you know what happens. Do you come back

697
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: and try the same things, or you're gonna try to

698
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: be different, or you're gonna try to be innovative. You know,

699
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: we've seen last year and I'm not trying to compare

700
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: Lenahan two more. I'm just saying we saw Tavon Austin

701
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: really involved in one game. In the next game he's

702
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:30,959
Speaker 1: not at all. And we saw Dak run eleven times

703
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: and the next game he didn't run at all. So like,

704
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: let's just see if if if they if they stick

705
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: to what works, and how he comes back with a

706
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: week two, week three, things like that. But I mean,

707
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 1: it's hard to complain about anything. Yeah, I actually I

708
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: was gonna say, I really actually, That's one of the

709
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: things I'm really kind of paying attention to is how

710
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: does Kellen Warren calling this offense allow one game to

711
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: build on the other. Um, I was interested here. After

712
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: the game, when he was talking to the media, he said,

713
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, there were some things that that we didn't

714
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: necessarily want to throw out this first week, and we

715
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: were able to hold some of those things back, which

716
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: is a good thing because again, the biggest problem you

717
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: would have is if you threw everything out there and

718
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: now everything's on tape, because I guarantee you all that

719
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 1: stuff that was on tape that looks so easy last

720
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: week may not look as easy. If a team is

721
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: preparing knowing what they like to do this in this situation,

722
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: they like to do this in this situation, when they're

723
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: in this formation and they have these motions, this is

724
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: what they like to do. Teams will build that kind

725
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: of dossier on them over the next four or five,

726
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: thank you sir, four or five games, and they'll know

727
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: they'll have some tendencies for them. Right. So, if he

728
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: is able to take what they did this game and

729
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: then use that knowing that that is now what the

730
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: other team is thinking, their next opponents thinking, and now

731
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: be able to play off of what he anticipates they'll

732
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: do to react to it. Now you got yourself something.

733
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: That's how you keep longevity in doing that job. It's

734
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: not just about the one game. It's about the game

735
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: and how it follows up to the next game, in

736
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: the next game, in the next game. I'm really I'm

737
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 1: not worried about that with Calamar, which I just said

738
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: I need to see more, but like, I just I'm

739
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: not worried about that with him. Like I don't think

740
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: you're just gonna be scratching your head, like where where'd

741
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: Tavon go? Where? Where's you know? Why? What are they doing? Why?

742
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: Like I think it's gonna be consistent, and the consistency

743
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: will be kind of what you're talking about, unpredictability. To

744
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: Danny's point, I feel not troubled at all by the

745
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: defensive struggles like struggles in scare quotes, and I'm not

746
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 1: It's just things that happen in the first game. I'm

747
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: not saying that's who this defense is. That's not their identity.

748
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: It sounded like I was contradicting you, but I'm actually not,

749
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: because what I was gonna say is, you know, Darius

750
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 1: guys probably isn't going to play in this game. But

751
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: what does that mean. It means that they're gonna be

752
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: going against the Hall of Famer who's a little bit

753
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: of sim he's a little bit angry, and one thing

754
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: you know about him, when he's angry, he has a

755
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: way in his career when he's angry, he has a

756
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: ways showing you he's things. So if it is a

757
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: problem that actually persists, then where I feel like we'll

758
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: find out on today that was not what I was

759
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: talking about. Go ahead, and well we're gonna find out

760
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: if it's a problem because Adrian Peterson is still really

761
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: damn good at thirty three, and he'll probably be running

762
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: angry right So, and I it's going to your point, Danny,

763
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 1: I don't just look at this as one rushing out

764
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: in standing by itself like this. Now, I take it

765
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: back and put it back to put put it back

766
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: to last year as well. In this season, got the

767
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: Rams in December, you had the Colts. Like that's now

768
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: three out of the last five games. I think it

769
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: is where the Cowboys have not been able to stop

770
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: the well stop the run effectively. And there are gonna

771
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 1: be other good running backs. And they may be able

772
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: to stop a running back that's kind of middle of

773
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: the pack, but they're gonna have other good running backs.

774
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to play the rest of this year.

775
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: What does that mean? What happens when you go to

776
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: New Orleans and you got Alvin Camaro you got to

777
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: deal with, right. So I just think that that is

778
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: something worth in my opinion, that's something worth looking at

779
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: and keeping an eye on and we'll see what happens. Yeah,

780
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put that game in the other two because

781
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,240
Speaker 1: I don't think you know, it's not like the Giants

782
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: for just running the ball into the end zone and

783
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: all that stuff. I mean, yeah, they had they boasted

784
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: out a big run. They did that in last game

785
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: up in the Meadowlands. He had a fifty something yard

786
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: run like that too. I mean, he's great. But they

787
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: when they needed to, they shut it down. So I

788
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: thought the defense played pretty well. It's just a perfect

789
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: offensive performance. So therefore the defense is going to have

790
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: a hard I keep going back to first possession was bad.

791
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: By the it wasn't good. But then from when they

792
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: tie the game at seven seven, from then until it

793
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 1: was thirty five to ten, the defense was pretty good.

794
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,240
Speaker 1: And that is Maybe it's just I don't know, bias

795
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: or selective reasoning on my part, but like that's what

796
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: I focus on more than the blob final ten minutes

797
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 1: when there's a twenty five point lead. And I mean

798
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: they were bad at the start of the game, but

799
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: stuff like that happened such a good game. Mix, right,

800
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 1: you have to if the offense layed so well, okay,

801
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 1: well then let's just let's look to the defense. Sure, yeah,

802
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: all right. Let's take a question from Kyle Ransom. He says,

803
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: what are the chances we get to one two, one

804
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 1: thousand yard receivers this year in Gallop and Cooper. Well,

805
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: then if that's the case, you know, we're gonna be

806
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: wondering if Zeke's worth that much money, you know, because

807
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: he's not gonna have probably that much. You know, you're

808
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: not gonna have a sixteen hundred yard rushing season if

809
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: you got that much going on. Unless you're gonna do

810
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: this what you did to the Giants, to every team, well,

811
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: then yeah, then you better get a hotel room. And

812
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: I just don't think. I don't know, I don't think

813
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: that's gonna be there for them. I really don't. I

814
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: think teams I think it's like, we gotta stop Zeke,

815
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: stop Zeke. And then they tried, and they did a

816
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: decent job, but look what happened. Next week, it'll be different.

817
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: They're gonna take away some of the other stuff, and

818
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: then other guys will come in. I just don't and

819
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: the reason why I said, and then, how do you

820
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: mean interrupted will they though? Because the way I look

821
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: at this, I wonder if teams are gonna be like

822
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: you know, I'd still rather go the route of stopping Zeke.

823
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 1: Then I'm gonna make Dak do this for half this

824
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: year before I say I'm going to start worrying about yeah,

825
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: And so I do wonder if I do wonder if

826
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: for a good part of the season we see the

827
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: Cowboys at least trying to do those kind of things,

828
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: going aggressively in the passing game. Because teams are like,

829
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: we know about that. I mean, we know about Zeke,

830
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: we know what he can do to you. We're gonna

831
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: make Dak do it regularly and consistently to us before

832
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: we would change maybe let's sorry, go ahead. I think

833
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: you know what, Now that I think about it, it

834
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: probably won't happen. But the one way that it could

835
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: is that when you think back to the game, there

836
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: was deep balls to gallop, perfect throat down the sideline

837
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: and a perfect throat to the touchdown to Cooper. They

838
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 1: both have that ability. They also both caught passes over

839
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: the middle that they turned into forty and sixty two

840
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 1: yard plays, and then Cop can kind of do both

841
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: of that as well. So the fact that you've got

842
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: receivers that can kind of hurt you deep, short, short,

843
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: to deep, all that stuff, they may be able to

844
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: rack up some yards like that. Yeah, if even if

845
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: let's just assume that they just keep this going. Maybe

846
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: like not like that, but like, let they just keep rolling,

847
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: like this is a top seven or eight offense in

848
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 1: the league. Like even still, there's so many people to

849
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: spread the ball to Cooper, Gallop, Cob Witten, Jarwin Zeke Pollard, Tavon.

850
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: I think I got them all. I just like I

851
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: would I would be I did, I would have. I

852
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: would need to see two one thousand yard receivers to

853
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: believe it, just because teams do that. MS. Harrison and

854
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 1: Reggie Wayne. If the Falcons haven't done it since they

855
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: got some new they've come awfully closed. They would have

856
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,760
Speaker 1: done it back when what was the guy's name, I'm

857
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: John a blank right now, Roddy White, Roddy White, When

858
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 1: Roddy White and there together what happens. But I just well,

859
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: digs and digs and dealing, and that's a good one.

860
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: Just I know it didn't look like it on Sunday.

861
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: But I still think like an eighty nine rushing yards

862
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 1: is not going to be the norm for this team.

863
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: I don't think we even saw that in previous seasons

864
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: with Zeke. His numbers were so much lower in the

865
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: first two or three weeks of the season, So I

866
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,439
Speaker 1: think you still have to take that in consideration. It's

867
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,919
Speaker 1: easy to forget because they just pummeled them, but Zeke

868
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: was on a pitch count and so and and they

869
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 1: teams will they might they might prefer to make Dak

870
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: do this, but they will correct, like they're not just

871
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: gonna if Dad keeps doing stuff like this, They're not

872
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: gonna put eight and nine in the box like they're

873
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:32,240
Speaker 1: just not going through. Its very fun. It's awesome about

874
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: that pitch count, though, I think that a lot of

875
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: those carries he would normally get that we'll probably see

876
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: him get as the season goes on, will be those

877
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: ones that Paulo was getting at the end of the game.

878
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: That will be when they will put teams away because

879
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,240
Speaker 1: they will try to pound them just into the ground

880
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: because they have a lead. They're trying to solve that

881
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: lead away. He will probably will He'll be more effective

882
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: than what Tony Pollitt was just because it's Zeke, right,

883
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 1: But the point is he's gonna get POLITI will decrease.

884
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 1: So even if you think of it from that standpoint,

885
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 1: you probably could have into that game. They would have

886
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: played that game as they will probably play the games

887
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: four weeks from now, and you have that kind of

888
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: offensive firepower early in the game, you could still put

889
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: up those kinds of numbers in the passing game, and

890
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: Zeke could still get close, if not over that hundred

891
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: yard mark in that second half. This is vintage nineties

892
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: football for the Cowboys, right, You get get a lead

893
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: and then you just pound them with Emma Smith. And again,

894
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: I mean the pitcher of kool aid is just like

895
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: absolutely three feet tall right now. Absolutely great. They looked awesome.

896
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: They deserve like it's the NFL, it's not college football.

897
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: Style points aren't a thing, but like it won't be

898
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: that easy every week. It will just won't be it will.

899
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right about that, and that's why again, we're

900
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: kind of pulling this back just a little bit. All

901
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying is that's what they're going for, that's the back.

902
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: But at the same time we're like, well, yeah, when

903
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: they're up by forty in the second half, that's when

904
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: early on. Michael Gallup was talking to the meet in

905
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: the locker room yesterday and I asked him how important

906
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: it was to connect with press got the first game

907
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: of the season, because they struggled three quarters of the

908
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: pretty much most of the regular season until the playoffs

909
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: to really hit those long balls. He said, it's incredibly important.

910
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 1: They've been working a lot in the offseason and for confidence,

911
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: you want to be able to show that you can

912
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: connect on those long balls. So even though this probably

913
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 1: won't happen many other games in the season, I think

914
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: it was so really important that this is what happened

915
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: the first game of the season. And you know, Zeke

916
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: can miss a whole month and a half or whatever,

917
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: come back and still contribute like that. Dak would have

918
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: done that, and then comes back, they're not hitting those

919
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: passes like that, they're not playing like that, and Dak

920
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: knows that, he knows that it's different for him to

921
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 1: and he's in a different situation, but he knows that

922
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,839
Speaker 1: he had to be there to kind of keep this

923
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: thing going. All right, guys, appreciate you joining us. We

924
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: were back tomorrow normal time, eleven forty five am. We're

925
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: going to get into the Redskins offense versus the Cowboys defense.

926
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: Day will have his breakdown, We'll talk about some other

927
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 1: issues and face this team heading into this week two

928
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: matchup against the Washington Redskins. Till then for Nick Even,
