21
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: We'll talk about some different things on the game. Um,

22
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna do a little game today. If see on. No,

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: I think Camber has that ready for us, and I

24
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: think Nick, I don't know. I think you have a

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: story for us. Yeah, I got a story. You got

26
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: a good story for us. Uh, debatable on that. You know,

27
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: I don't ever like you don't tell bad stories. So, well,

28
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: you have a story. It's a good one. Right, I'll

29
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: tell you this. I'm gonna I'm gonna tell the story

30
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: backwards today. Tell that should be interesting. Yeah, it's gonna

31
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: be interesting. Ends up being hate. When someone says that

32
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 1: I got a good idea, you're like, hold on, let's

33
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: we'll see. If you see, we'll see. All right. So

34
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: let's let's get into the Cowboys and the Rams. Let's

35
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: start first with some injury talk. Um, Dave, you have

36
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: a look like you want to say something about injuries.

37
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: So tell us what's going on with the injuries with

38
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. It's a very specific look. It's impressive that

39
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: you know that. I know. Um, well, I think the

40
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: big thing for this game as Shaun Lee, and this

41
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: is one of those situations I'm just gonna try my

42
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: best to predict the future. I think he's gonna be

43
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: ruled questionable on today's injury report. I would imagine he'll

44
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: either be limited or did not participate, And I don't

45
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: think we'll know for sure what he's gonna do until

46
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: ten thirty am on Sunday. You know, I would lean

47
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: toward no, but he's an all pro and this isn't

48
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: a serious, serious hamstring strain, so if he feels good

49
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: on Sunday, they might let him go. I mean, there's

50
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: really it's just like Odell Beckham, there's really no way

51
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: to know for sure until he gets out there on

52
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: Sunday and decides how he feels. So that's the big

53
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: thing I think. I think everybody else on this team

54
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: is going to be good to go. I know Cavon

55
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: Frazier popped up as limited yesterday. I don't think that's

56
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: a big deal. Same thing with Jordan Lewis. I know

57
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: they kind of limited him, but I think they feel

58
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: good about his hamstring. Were you not at all? And

59
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: I mean this question for all you guys, but were

60
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: you all? Were you guys at all concerned that Lewis

61
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: was not on the injury on Wednesday but then popped

62
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: up yesterday as limited or do you just think it

63
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: was one of those things they had to walk through

64
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: so he wasn't limited for a walkthrough, but yited for

65
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 1: I think that's exactly it. Yeah, I think, I mean,

66
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: you have to read between the lines a little bit,

67
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: but I think it's more a case of all right,

68
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: this is a full practice. We're not going to ask

69
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: you to do the whole thing. But I get the

70
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: feeling that they expect him to play. Okay, yes, um

71
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: you're right, Nick, Cheeto, Cheeto. I don't think will be

72
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: ready for this game, but I sort of went into

73
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: this week thinking that, so no one Carroll, though no

74
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: one Carroll will be there, he'll be available. Um, so

75
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: you'll have the majority of your defensive backs I think

76
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: are ready to go. Stephen Paia is another guy, But

77
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: again I think that's just his life right now. I

78
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: don't think, you know, I think he's probably gonna be

79
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: limited most weeks and suit up on Sunday. I think

80
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: the interesting thing for for Sean Lee and this team

81
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: is what happens at linebacker. Do they did work out

82
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: some guys? Do they sign anyone? Because if he doesn't go,

83
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: now you're down and Hitchens is not going to play obviously,

84
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: but Hitchens is getting better. There's a chance for Hitchens

85
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: maybe next week, maybe maybe the week after what I'm hearing. Yeah,

86
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: but you know, if Lee doesn't play, now you're down

87
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: to four linebackers on the roster that they can go.

88
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: Beef beef, Yeah, beef. I don't know. I talk about

89
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: Keith Smith, the fullback beefy, Keith Smith coming back on defense.

90
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: I'm ready for it. I'm excited. I don't know if

91
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: he's actually gonna play in the game. Stakes Ober here,

92
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: that is beef, right, Kent. I mean, without without Sean Lee,

93
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: without Anthony Hitchins for this game, you're definitely limited. If

94
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: Sean Lee can't go, you probably start. You start justin

95
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: Durant at will you start, Jalen Smith at Mike Damien

96
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: Wilson is your do everything, Sam Slash back up everywhere else.

97
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Wilber does what he can do. And then seriously,

98
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: Keith Smith is probably your emergence Mary, you know Glass

99
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: if ever, if something happens. Yeah, So my point was,

100
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: I think that Shaun Lee could probably be active to

101
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: even if he's not. Now I know that that's kind

102
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: of he's not the easiest guy to probably to sit

103
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: like in that situation. But but I think you might.

104
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: It might be something where he could play or at

105
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: least be active, dress out and see see if he

106
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: can go. He can go because you don't have it's

107
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: not like you're you're sitting another guy for him. Now

108
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: the guy you're sitting is like a defensive end or

109
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: corner or something like that. He did say, And I

110
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: think I remembered you guys saying that. Sean said in

111
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: the locker room earlier this week that the hamstring is

112
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: one of those things where go either it fires or

113
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't. All right. It's not like, yeah, I can

114
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: kind of do it. It's it's either it's firing or

115
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: it's not. And if it's not, you just can't go.

116
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: Here's a guy that decided not to play and with

117
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: two million dollars sitting on the table and decided not

118
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: to play because he couldn't go and uh, twenty fifteen

119
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: season finale. So I mean, if he can't go, he

120
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: can't go, right, not the you know, it's not like

121
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: a sore ankle, like you can't shoot it up with

122
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: a painkiller and go play through it. You can't run

123
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: if your hamstrings not right, so so I don't know

124
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: that if if that's the case, it would be hard

125
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: to consider him the emergency, even if you know he

126
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: would kind of like let him dress and then if

127
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't fire, it just doesn't fire in you, right,

128
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: Keith Smith really is your only recourse unless you're gonna

129
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: pull somebody up, right, which mark there's nobody to pull

130
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: Martin Zaches of San Francisco forty nine ers they signed.

131
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: I guess I shouldn't have said pull up. You have

132
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: to go and get somebody, which you have to go

133
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: and find somebody in sign it's for Brinkley. Good luck

134
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: with that. Yeah, it's Friday. I think it's too late

135
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: to do that and expect what they're doing. So um seriously,

136
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: can't didn't bust a drop on you right there if

137
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: Sean If Sean Lee can't go, I think you go.

138
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,239
Speaker 1: You go really light with four and then Keith Smith

139
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: is there, right, they all stay out, just say it's

140
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: the RAMS, dude, MS dude, not because that's not all right.

141
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: Let's let's talk about it in active. I think there

142
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: are three and this is gonna sound weird, but I

143
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: do think there are only three this week that I

144
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: feel like there are no question marks about, and I

145
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: want to get your opinions. You may think they're more,

146
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: but I think there are three. Cooper Rush, Jonathan Cooper,

147
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: Anthony Hitchins. I think we feel very certain that those

148
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: three will not play this week. You got a running

149
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: back debate you want to have or I kind of do? Okay,

150
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: And here's the question I have about the running back position.

151
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: I don't really want to do this or whatever it's

152
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: worth about. Go ahead. I think that there is more

153
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: that they can expect or want from their backup running back.

154
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: And the reason why I say that is because you

155
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: do see on a lot of teams where even when

156
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: you have a really good running back, the second guy

157
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: comes in and when he gets an opportunity, he is

158
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: able to give you a little something, a little something

159
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: more than I think what we've seen from Alfred Morris

160
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: here in these first couple of games. Do you guys

161
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: agree with that premise first of all? And if so,

162
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: do you think there's another running back on this team

163
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: that possibly could give them a little bit more as

164
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: the backup running back than what they're getting right now

165
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: from Alfred Morris. It's like a trick question here. I

166
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm just really I'm just asking because I

167
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: think it's worth a discussion. Yeah, I think that the

168
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: every team should play more than one running back. I

169
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: believe that he is as great as Zeke is. I

170
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: think he needs a little bit of relief now and

171
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: then whoever it is, So are you Are you happy

172
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: with what you're getting right now from Outfred Morris in

173
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: that role. No, he hasn't done anything, so no, you

174
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: can't be happy with it. They didn't even play him

175
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: last week, you know, you know, I feel I think

176
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: McFadden would be a better for this role and would

177
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: I would rather see him in there. But I do

178
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: even if it's Morris. I mean, whoever it is, I

179
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: think I don't think Zeke should get every carry, get

180
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: every rep. I mean, at least get a guy in

181
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: there to block and just get him off the field something.

182
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he was stronger in the fourth quarter, but

183
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: I still think that he needs a little bit of

184
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: a break. But I would go McFadden if they do that.

185
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna make change this week,

186
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: but I would If you're not gonna play Morris at all.

187
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: I think McFadden could give you a snap or two.

188
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't care about this. I mean that they clearly

189
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: like Morris more than McFadden, and they didn't even play

190
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: him last week. Like what am I supposed to make

191
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: of that? I don't even you picked him, You specifically

192
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: picked him, put him up and put McFadden down, and

193
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: then didn't play him. You gave Rod Smith one one

194
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: touch or one snap. I don't know. I don't know

195
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: what they're doing there. I'm tempted to believe right now

196
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: that that they want to keep McFadden fresh if they

197
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: need him, if something happens with Zeke's legal issues. That's

198
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: really because we still really don't know, because we don't

199
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: um and there's gonna be a hearing on Monday, right

200
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: or he's not a hearing or a decision. I don't know, No,

201
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: not a decision. There's supposed to be a hearing. There's

202
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: more developments to come, and everything they're doing a backup

203
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: running back doesn't make sense to me. And I'm starting

204
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: to think that they want to have McFadden fresh and

205
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: healthy if they need him. Otherwise, none of this makes sense.

206
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: Your backup running back is one of two guys that

207
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: didn't get into that game on Monday. That doesn't make

208
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: any sense to me. Having said that, Zeke's an all pro,

209
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: and I don't really care as the whole thing's dumb.

210
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: This is matter to you, Amber, I mean, at this point,

211
00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: I just really believe that it they're relatively similar to

212
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: each other with what they've done. I don't think one

213
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: is really much better than the other one. So I'm

214
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: good with either one. Honestly, they can do whatever there.

215
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: I haven't been doing whatever they want. So if a

216
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: guy that's not Ezekiel Elliott, it's gonna line up in

217
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: the backfield and do running back stuff. I want to

218
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: see more of Ryan Switzer back there as a shotgun guy.

219
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: I thought that was interesting. Yeah, let me ask you

220
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: this question, as they start to kind of go through

221
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: this and this whole thing with injuries and kind of

222
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: figure out who's active who's inactive, if they get into

223
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: a pinch, would there ever be the consideration on your part,

224
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: like as far as you guys see it, and maybe

225
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: sit down both those older guys and keep Rods Smith

226
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: up because Rods, especially if they're not going to play

227
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris you know, Rod Smith's gonna play special teams

228
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: take that extra spot and put it on another position,

229
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: so at least you have an extra guy somewhere else

230
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: where you may need it, because right now they're not.

231
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: They didn't at least this last game, they didn't use

232
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: that position. You're just asking for it though, that that

233
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: is just asking it. That's when something bad happen. Thing

234
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: face and then you don't have anyone, Well, you go

235
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: with two. You go with two quarterbacks, right, I mean yeah,

236
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: So that's why. And that right there is why Kellen

237
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: Moore is the guy that's active and not Cooper Rush

238
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: because they want the guy that's actually played in the

239
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: NFL to have to go in if he has to.

240
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: But worst case scenario, you lost both those running backs

241
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: in the game, you still got Keith Smith that could

242
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: played him in that role at times. I mean, you

243
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: still got other options if you got into it like

244
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: you just had to run somebody out there. Let's be honest,

245
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: if Zeke goes down, the likelihood of your offense being

246
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: able to run the way it needs to no matter

247
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: who those other three of those other three guys is

248
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: in there, it's probably not going to be the same, right, Yes,

249
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: we need to be able to run the football. See,

250
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: I think if Zeke were to go down, either Morris

251
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: or McFadden would be fine if he was given twenty carries.

252
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: That's all that's there. Don't think Rod would would be

253
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: Oh I don't know. I mean maybe, but if you

254
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: don't have Morris or McFadden active, then you're talking about

255
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: giving the ball either way. Keith or Rod. Those guys

256
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: have combined for like three NFL carries. Yeah, so that

257
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: just gets not the experience makes me a little queasy. Okay,

258
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: but all right, Um, it's one thing to have a

259
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: thousand yard rusher as inactive, but to have two. They

260
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't do that. I mean, they're keeping killing Moore a

261
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: backup quarterback. You think, No, they're not gonna do that.

262
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: And not even with the running back position. If they're

263
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: doing that with quarterback position, which I don't even want

264
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: to get into, but you know how they are, they're

265
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: gonna be over protective at quarterback. They're certainly not gonna

266
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: do it at running back. All right, let's let's talk

267
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: about the defensive end for the translation. Yeah, you got

268
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: you got two guys and there's one that will probably

269
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: be inactive. Last week it was Charles Tapper. Any chance

270
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: this week it's Taco Charlton or do you think they

271
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: stick with keeping Tapper as the inactive guy? Taco. I

272
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna sit Taco. He's the first round pick.

273
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 1: He needs snaps to get better. Yeah, I don't think

274
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: they'll do that. Yeah. I like it, can't can't pick it.

275
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: You like Taco? I like it Taco. You think Taco

276
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: got the happy fingers today? Yeah? I mean I think

277
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: so he gives you. I think he's more, he's more versaally,

278
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: can play a little bit more if you needed to.

279
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: He has done some stuff on the inside, and this

280
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: is all about the development with him. I mean, he

281
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: needs to keep playing. This is your first round pick.

282
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: Who's better right this second? It's probably it's probably you

283
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: think it's tappering. I don't think there's probably about it.

284
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: I think Tapper is a better player, right Why, He's

285
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: done more, He's got an NFL sack, He's done more

286
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: stuff in the two games that he's played. He's done

287
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 1: more than Taco. Okay, I don't think he's clearly better,

288
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter who's got more upside. I mean Tacco,

289
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: I would have hope it has more upside, or you

290
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't have taken them where they did. So this isn't

291
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: about who's going to start, and this is about who

292
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: the backup is. I think you need to get that

293
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: guy ready to play, keep him out there. I completely

294
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: agree with you. I just think Tapper's better right now.

295
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: But that's what happens when you draft a guy in

296
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: the first try. You're gonna make him active, You're gonna

297
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: give him every chance to get better. Tapper did a

298
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: nice job of getting up the line that I mean,

299
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: was it who was it? Eli? Yeah? I mean Eli

300
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: said okay, like he wasn't gonna take a hit. I

301
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: mean it wasn't like it was like the greatest play ever.

302
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: But he did a nice job of getting up the field.

303
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: And he's but I don't know if he's clearly better.

304
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: Maybe he is. He's just done more than Tacco right now. Okay, Okay,

305
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: I gotta get what you're saying, Nick, Like, yeah, you

306
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: could say he's done more, he's got one more sack,

307
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: but look at when you look at the body of

308
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: body of work. I don't know if I agree that

309
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: he's done more. I think they're about the same. And

310
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: the discussion we just had about running back, I think

311
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: it probably applies here to let's agree that there's not

312
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: a spiritual difference. Let's let's do some blind taste testing.

313
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: Then if they were just both dudes and one of

314
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: them wasn't a first round pick, who would sit just no, Again,

315
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: I think it would be based on whoever the coaches

316
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: thought had the biggest like Nick was saying, whoever has

317
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: the biggest potential to grow from being act and right?

318
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: Whoever you think has the bigger upside between the two. Well,

319
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: and you can only have so many guys active of

320
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: the game. Okay, if the guy starts playing in the

321
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: first quarter, who has a better chance to get hurt

322
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: and get out of the game. I mean, who has

323
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: a better chance? I mean, because I know this, every

324
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: defensive end that was getting hurt, it wasn't Taco. He

325
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a back issue, but he

326
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: practiced the next week, the next day he was like

327
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: he was out there the whole time. You can't say

328
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: that for Tapper, And so from a reliability standpoint, I mean,

329
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: I think it's the edge would be Taco. I'm I'm

330
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: not trying to arguing about backups here. I'm not trying

331
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: to hate on Taco Charlton because I think he's going

332
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: to be a good player. I've defended him against people

333
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: who think he's a bust already time and time again.

334
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: But right now, I think Tapper is a better player,

335
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: and there's nothing wrong with him being active because he's

336
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: a first round pick. If he's going to live up

337
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: to his potential, he needs to play and get better

338
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: and on and at the end of the day, even

339
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: if Tapper is better right now, it's a negligible difference

340
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: to them. I mean, you know, Tapper's not von Miller,

341
00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: so I think that's the point. Yeah, if he has

342
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: to set, that's fine, because you've spent a twenty eighth

343
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: overall pick on Taco. Okay, let's move on to the

344
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: cornerback position. The assumption is that at least one of

345
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: these guys will be inactive Banaban, Wickery, um A Woozier

346
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: or Carol. Which of those three do you assume is

347
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: going to be inactive? Cheetah, Cheetah. And that's just because

348
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: he's just not ready. The hamstring is just not ready.

349
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: That's the vibe I get, and even if it is

350
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: sort of ready, you've got to eat. It was out

351
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: like three weeks of training camp, and then he comes back,

352
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: he plays a game and a half and he gets hurt,

353
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: and I mean, I don't think they want him to

354
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: just rush anything back into it. So okay, um, and

355
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: then that leaves you one more spot. Yeah, we're at six.

356
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: So so Cooper Rush are running back, Jonathan Cooper, Anthony Hitchens,

357
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: Anthony Hitchins, Alls, Tap ARLs Tapper, and then in Cheetah

358
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: receiver Cheeto. I mean, I think it has to be Brown. Yeah,

359
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: I mean it probably should be. I mean, in a

360
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: nice play last week. But the thing about it is

361
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: is that you know he had Terrence and he had

362
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: Bryce Butler banged up. Uh, there haven't. I don't believe

363
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: if they have Throw on the injury report this week,

364
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: they're not really They're still practicing, so I didn't see

365
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: him on the injury report. I think I just think

366
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: six receivers is too many. I don't think you need

367
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: that many in the game. Well, what about Sean Lee?

368
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: Are we just assuming he's gonna be good? That's the

369
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: other option is that? But I don't know that they're

370
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: going to know that until Sunday morning. Right, Sure, So

371
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: let's assume for a second. If he is the one,

372
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: then obviously he's your seventh inactive Brown. If he's not,

373
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: then who's your guy? Probably Noah Brown if Sean Lee

374
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: can go. But I'm I'm I'm gonna be bold and

375
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: say I think Sean Lee's gonna sit this week. I

376
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: we'll see. I might be wrong, but okay, Michael fifty,

377
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: I mean what else would Shaun Lee be? All Right,

378
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna go first break like DeMarcus Ware. Yeah. When

379
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: we come back from our break, I have a couple

380
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: of questions for you guys about the matchup. We'll get

381
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,119

Speaker 1: takes to be a cowboy. Everyone's got their ideas, but

420
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: I just say to myself, it's what's up top that matters. Sure,

421
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,800

431
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: Mortgage Studios at the Star. All right, let's talk some

432
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: cowboys rams. I have some questions I'm gonna throw out

433
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: to you guys. You guys can answer these as you choose.

434
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a couple options for some of them,

435
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: but you feel free to throw in whatever else you

436
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: think might be relevant. First question, who will be the

437
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: bigger challenge? Where the cowboys this weekend? Aaron Donald or

438
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley? Wait? I didn't hear you what you say?

439
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: I don't know they turn you off? Are you guys

440
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: hearing her? I it sounds like your mic is off. Amber.

441
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:19,719
Speaker 1: That's okay, all right, Amber, said Gurley. I'll translate for Amber,

442
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: since I speak Spanish. The best out of them there,

443
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: you go. Good. Not that she's speaking Spanish. I think

444
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Aaron Donald Donald. They do a pretty

445
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: good job against most backs, I mean, and when they tackled,

446
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: when they tackled, it they're final. What was going on

447
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: in Denver. They didn't tackle well. They were getting to

448
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: the football for the most part. But Donald's gonna be

449
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: a tough one for him. Although your best tackler and

450
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: best linebacker is a threat to not play in this

451
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: game perfect, I mean, that's that's tricky. But I still

452
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: I think Aaron Donald is one of the five best

453
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: defenders in football right now. Like he's he's on that level,

454
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: I really think, and like I'm in when I previewed

455
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: their defense yesterday. He can play everywhere. So it sounds

456
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: sexy to say, like Donald versus Martin, like move him

457
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: over on Chaz Green. Let him let Chaz Green deal

458
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: with that. And that could be really problematic. I mean,

459
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: you talk about offensive line being a problem, not being

460
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: able to get your running game going, that could be

461
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: a big time problem. So a guy of that caliber

462
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: who can get into the backfield the way he can,

463
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: has a chance to mess up your whole offense. And

464
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: you know, the defense has been really, really good through

465
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: three weeks, but I still think of the offense as

466
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: the reason why this team is going to win games.

467
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: So I'm more worried about something disrupting the offense. Yeah,

468
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: I think you made a stop point there because one

469
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: of the reasons that Nick you talked about it the

470
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: day after the game. One of the reasons why they

471
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: had such a problem in Denver was because Sean Lee

472
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: had his worst game. I don't think that was a coincidence.

473
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: And so you now play without Lee. How does that

474
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: affect their ability to be able to stop the run

475
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: because he is such a big part of your run defense.

476
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: So I think that's something to be to be concerned

477
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: about a little bit, because you are talking about a

478
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: really good running back here, who is every game the

479
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: season's gotten a little bit better than he did the

480
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: week before. I think that's something definitely gonna be concerned about.

481
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: That's not a bad point. Then the difference is too,

482
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: is I mean why the pick for Girley makes sense too,

483
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: is that you're combating that with maybe an injured Shaun Lee,

484
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: if if him at all. Aaron Donald is going to

485
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: face the best guard in football this week. I mean,

486
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: I mean Aaron Donald versus Zach Martin. You've got same draft, right,

487
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: I mean you've got two picks apart. I think, yeah,

488
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: maybe three. I mean these guys are you know, they're

489
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: the best at what they do. Right now, they got

490
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: one of the young just dominating quick off the ball

491
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: defensive tackle. And I thought about something else too last night. Actually,

492
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: I was watching they got DeMarcus Ware doing all kinds

493
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: of stuff on I guess it was NFL Network, And uh,

494
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: he said, this, this four three defense, this three four

495
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: D defense is really like a four to three. He's

496
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: playing it like like Wade is playing this like a

497
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: four to three. It's not really like a three or four. Really,

498
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: everybody's at the line. And I was like, well, Dave

499
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: said that, and then William mc ginnis comes over and says, well,

500
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: you know what, Yeah, you can try to play like

501
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: the Broncos did, but not everyone has the personnel for that.

502
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: It's just like that. We said that too, So we're

503
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: gonna be on the NFL network next week. We're smart.

504
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: They just listen to what we say and then they

505
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: turn it into a segment the Rams. The Rams do

506
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: not have the secondary of the Broncos or even the

507
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: even they don't have one of one cornerback caliber of

508
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: those cornerbacks in down that's altitude won't be the same

509
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: there at the state. It's some different we do not

510
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: open the roofing. No, No, WHOA why it's not cool enough.

511
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: It'd be like eighty degrees. Let's go. We don't need

512
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: all that all right. Here's the next question. Sammy Watkins

513
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,479
Speaker 1: is a full go from from the concussion protocol. Does

514
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,239
Speaker 1: he change your thoughts on Dallas's chances for success? Now

515
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: Here are some of his numbers from the first two

516
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: weeks of the season. Week one, he had five catches

517
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: fifty eight yards. Week two, he had two catches for

518
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: thirty yards. Here's the big one. Last week against San Francisco,

519
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: he had six catches for one hundred and six yards

520
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns with a forty seven yard long catch,

521
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: and his average was seventeen point seven yards per catch.

522
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: Does that change anything about how you feel about the

523
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys chances for success against this team? No, and I'll

524
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: tell you why. Ye. Larry Fitzgerald caught fifteen passes for

525
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty six yards and a touchdown. Arizona

526
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: still didn't break twenty points. I think a big part

527
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: of that is because they couldn't run the ball. So

528
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: I still look at Todd Gurley. If Todd Gurley is

529
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,959
Speaker 1: doing his thing, then it's all that doesn't matter anyway.

530
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: It's gonna be rough, I think, but this team can

531
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: absorb passing games like that. That's what they did against

532
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: the Cardinals like there. I mean, this isn't the Broncos.

533
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: They're probably gonna give up some chunk plays. They've given up.

534
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: They've given up chunk passing plays in two of the

535
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 1: three games so far, and they did it all last year.

536
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: It's a matter of not allowing it to turn into touchdowns.

537
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: So Sammy Watkins will probably have some decent production in

538
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 1: this game, if I had to guess. But if you're

539
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: doing a good job against early, that doesn't bother me.

540
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: I think it's I think he's done a nice job

541
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: of coming in and being productive early. Usually when you

542
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: get traded like that, you know at the time that

543
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: he did. It takes a long time for these guys

544
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: to kind of develop into that system. But they've done

545
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: a good job with him quickly. He's been a factor.

546
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: So um, But I don't I don't think it'll be

547
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: a big issue. I mean, you know, they they've got

548
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: some weapons. I mean, I'm always scared of the little

549
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: speedy guys. I think if Austin is doing some things

550
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: that could be tough. Who else did you say? Cooper

551
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 1: Cup Cup Robert Woods is the other guy they got

552
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: from Mob Buffalo who's played pretty decent for him this year.

553
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: But you know this solid, This is like the Falcons

554
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: game from two years ago. You know, if DeVante Freman

555
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: just went off and they couldn't stop him. So if

556
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: girls like that where they're having a hard time, then

557
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna look good. Everyone's gonna get in the mix

558
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: and and make plays. But I don't think that's gonna happen.

559
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: Sean Lee. I think Shanlee's gonna play. I really do.

560
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: I think he will play in this game. I saw

561
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: him yesterday on the field pretty good. I just looked

562
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: at it like, okay, that's Thursday. I think you'll play.

563
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: I mean, all pros played by a different set of

564
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: rules from everybody else. Like h Like I said, you

565
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: never want to bet against him? Yeah? And were you

566
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: concerned about the secondary against a guy like Sammy Watkins? No?

567
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: I think WHOA that really loud? That's good? Okay, Sorry, guys,

568
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: I just sound really really loud online. Anyways, I think

569
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: they'll be fine. Um, I've all my prediction. I mean

570
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: My guess is that this game is gonna rely on

571
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: both offenses. Cowboys offense and the Rams offense. They're both

572
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty good. I just think they won't be

573
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: good enough to the point to beat the Cowboys. But

574
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: having him how he is right now, I'm not worried

575
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: about him. Okay, all right, final question. If Dallas loses

576
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: this game, the thing that will have been the biggest

577
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: problem will be one couldn't stop the run, Two couldn't

578
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: run themselves, or three gave up too many big plays.

579
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: If they lose this game, I'm going one like if

580
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: I mean they couldn't stop Girly. If Gurly really goes

581
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: off and I mean one hundred and twenty rushing yards,

582
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and then another you know, four or five receptions.

583
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: You know, if he's got one hundred and fifty all

584
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 1: purpose yards and helps them get to twenty twenty seven

585
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: thirty points something like that, I could see that being

586
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 1: a hard hold to dig out of, especially if they

587
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: get up on them early. That would surprise me because

588
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: the Rams defense isn't overly impressive. But if it's another

589
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: situation where they can just tee off on Dac and

590
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: the run game isn't as as important as it is

591
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys if they aren't allowed to lean on

592
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: it that way, I could see that being a problem. Okay,

593
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: I think it's the second one. I guess they can't

594
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: run it because if they can't run, and it's gonna

595
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: allow it's gonna allow the Rams to kind of do

596
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: some things. They're gonna have good field position, the Rams

597
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: are gonna be able to be, you know, more flexible

598
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: in what they do in their play calling. I think

599
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys can't run, then that's where the issues are.

600
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: But if they run the football like I think they're

601
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: gonna be able to run it, then I don't think

602
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: Girley will even get you know, I don't think Girley

603
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: will be a huge factor in the running game. He'll

604
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: still be out there as a pass catcher. But I

605
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,479
Speaker 1: think it's all gonna be about the Cowboys run. If

606
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: they don't run the football, then it's gonna open up

607
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: other things. That's a tough one. I'm in between the

608
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: first two. I believe it would be more tours Cowboys

609
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,479
Speaker 1: not being able to run the ball. Girly. I'm kind

610
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: of concerned, especially with the whole shanleee thing if he's

611
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: not there and stuff. But at the same time, I'm like, ah,

612
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: there's too much fuss around him, kind of expecting the

613
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys to be able to hopefully stop him. But I

614
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: would say most likely would be because Zeke wasn't able

615
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: to be as productive as we expect him to be.

616
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: I don't think it was a coincidence that the game

617
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys the worst game we've seen the Cowboys

618
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: play in a year, and however many games, three games

619
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: this season, happened in a game where they could not

620
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: run the ball, And so I think that everything everything

621
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys do results from how they run the ball.

622
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: They can't run the ball. I don't think they pass

623
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: as effectively. I don't think they play defense as effectively.

624
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: I think running is what they do, and if they

625
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: can't do that, everything else suffers. And so I think

626
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: in every game it's probably the same. That would probably

627
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: be the same answer for me, unless proven otherwise. That

628
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: would be the same answer for me, probably for every

629
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: game that unless they can run the ball, all bets

630
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: are off, because when we've seen them run it effectively,

631
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: they tend to win. When we've seen them not run

632
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: it effectively. They struggle and a pretty convincing argument, and

633
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: so I think that's really kind of what it comes

634
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: down to this week and probably for a few weeks

635
00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: to come right. All right, Nick, it's all just before

636
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: the show or in the first segment, you told us

637
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell us a story, and you actually told

638
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: us you're gonna tell us a story backwards, which I

639
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 1: don't really understand how that works, but I'm assuming you're

640
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: about to let us convinced it's gonna work. All right,

641
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: So let's let's go back. This is um six years ago. Okay,

642
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: this is beautiful. I love the music. Okay, So the

643
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: monday you've got this is the monday after the game

644
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: they played against the Rams. Okay, Jason Garretts walking in

645
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,479
Speaker 1: the hall, he sees one of these veteran scout Chris

646
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: Hall has been around forever, seez Chris Hall and says, hey, Chris,

647
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: I thought about you all day yesterday when what an

648
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: awesome game. Congratulations to the scout, and the scout was

649
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: kind of taken back, gives him a high five and says, yeah,

650
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: that was great, coach. Things. So that goes Sunday, we'll

651
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: take reverse it back into Sunday. DeMarco Murray against the Rams.

652
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: Two hundred and fifty three rushing yards against the Rams.

653
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: It's just me and New because everyone else is on

654
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: the front. But yeah, right, two hundred and fifty three

655
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: yards for DeMarco Murse set the Cowboys all time rushing record,

656
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: I mean for a single game, ninety one yard touchdown.

657
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: He was unbelievable and came out of nowhere, didn't even

658
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: start the game. So that takes the reason why Garrett

659
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: had said that to Chris Hall as it goes back

660
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: to the previous April as in the draft, because they

661
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: had him rated up high as we need a high

662
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: second round pick, and here they are early in the

663
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: third round and he's the best guy on the board.

664
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: But Jason's getting a little antsy because Stephen Ridley from

665
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: LSUS there and maybe we take him, and he looks

666
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: pretty good, and he's you know, Jason just can't make

667
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: a decision sometime. Well, Chris Hall is getting upset because

668
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: it's like, this is why we have one hundred and

669
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: thirty seven meetings. He's up there, he's the guy. Let's

670
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: take him. We don't need to call Barry Switzer anymore.

671
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: He's the guy, you know, let's take him. And the

672
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: clock's running down. They're on the clock. Garrett turns, looks

673
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: at Jason Garrett. I mean, he looks at Chris Hall

674
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: and says, we're in the meadow Lands, January, first, fourth

675
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: and one on the goal line. Does he score? And

676
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: Chris stands up and goes, listen, because this is twenty

677
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: and eleven. They've just taken Tyron Smith. He's like, listen,

678
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: you give him the damn ball. Run his ass behind

679
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: the guy you just draft, and he'll score every time.

680
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: And then Jason Garrett just turns in the card and says,

681
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: de Marco Murray and that's that's. There we go, and

682
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: there we go, and it worked out and that was

683
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: a big you know when you're a young scout like that,

684
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: or he is a young scout, but he you know,

685
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: any scout and you get a win like that. And

686
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: then then Garrett remembers what six months later he scores.

687
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: He's thinking about that guy that told him, you know,

688
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: the NFL draft, that was a great story told backwards.

689
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: That was a good job. There you go. The NFL

690
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: Draft is just the best because there's a story like

691
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: that for every player, even the ones that don't turn

692
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: out to be good. But it's even better when the

693
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: guy actually turns out to be an All Pro and

694
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: an Offensive Player of the Year. And it's really interesting

695
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: when you start and I know you guys have heard

696
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: some of the footage. I know it was. There have

697
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: been times when I've been able to kind of be

698
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: a fly on the wall to hear some of the

699
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: things that are being talked about inside the war room

700
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: and how they they make, some of the picks that

701
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: they make, and it's just to me, it's really fascinating

702
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: just how some of this cut goes down. It's not

703
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: as as clear cut as people think it is all

704
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 1: the time. There's a lot of discussion that happens. There's

705
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people that are involved in those discussions.

706
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 1: Really fascinating. Let's shamelessly plug ourselves and our guy, Knt

707
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: Garrison for a minute, who went and for the Dak

708
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: humentory that we made, went and found that war room

709
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: footage and he showed it to me, and it's like

710
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett talking about how Dak processes defenses and how

711
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: he throws and all this type of stuff. And Kent

712
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: was like, you think we can use this, and I

713
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: was like, would be better? No. Well, I was like,

714
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: there's no way they're gonna let us use that, and

715
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: Kent was like, I'm gonna ask anyway, and sure, now

716
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: here we go made it into our movie and it

717
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: was freaking awesome. But that's the thing, Like you mentioned,

718
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: Barry Switzer, but when in that draft, I remember I

719
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 1: was actually I was in another part of the building

720
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: and we were taping some stuff from the war room,

721
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: and so I heard a part of that call when

722
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: they talked to Barry Switzer about DeMarco Murray and him

723
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: kind of tell them that you know, this guy's legit.

724
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: You take him, you're gonna be happy with him, and

725
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: just kind of selling them on it. But that's the thing.

726
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: There's so many opinions that happen that are given about

727
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,479
Speaker 1: players as they make a decisions. It's not as simple

728
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 1: as like you know people think about their fantasy draft.

729
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: They just think you look on your on your own

730
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,439
Speaker 1: little sheet and you say, okay, I'll take this guy. Yeah,

731
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: it's a lot more than that that goes into it

732
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 1: on draft day, not just all the stuff before which

733
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: we all know, but on draft day, it's a lot

734
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: more complex than that. Yeah, because because this is the

735
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: ultimate keeper League, right yeah, really, they stay with you.

736
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: That's the reason that I just said that real quick,

737
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 1: that story and how it pertains is that Zeke's gonna

738
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: break that record this weekend. But that's really why I

739
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 1: did that. So he's gonna go for two sixth Oh,

740
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 1: we got a crazy prediction right now? What do you have, Dave? Oh?

741
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: I just it's funny because that is the way a

742
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: lot of fans approach it is. They're like, we need

743
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: a cornerback, look down the list of names, and like, little,

744
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 1: who's our top guy at cornerback? Little? Do they know

745
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: the guy that they're pounding on the table demanding the

746
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys draft has been off their board for like eight

747
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 1: weeks for whatever reason. Right, Yeah, it's way more complicated

748
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: than it looks. Absolutely all right, let's go ahead and

749
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: real quick take our final break. When we come back,

750
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: we do have a game for you guys, see on No,

00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. I thought somebody would have

803
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: something to say about it. I'm trying to see if

804
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: we can just get through it. Tommy John read without

805
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: it being a thing. Okay, I guess we did that time.

806
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: We got through it without saying something else. All right,

807
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: let's go. We're gonna have a game. And can you

808
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: hear me? Okay what I was checking it? You're back

809
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: on now? Yeah? Yeah, all right? Good? What do you

810
00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: have for us? Okay you guys ready see ready? The

811
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: Marcus Lawrence and again these are all just random and

812
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: some of them are just kind of guessing. So anyways,

813
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 1: the Marcus Lawrence keeps his sack sack streak going. Why

814
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: is that funny when you say sack streak, we're talking

815
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: about multiple sacks in a game. Well, I'm still thinking

816
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: about Tommy John. Wow, I guess we didn't get mine

817
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:35,240
Speaker 1: out of the gutter. All right. He keeps his little

818
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: streak going, Wow, this is just that's worse, all right,

819
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: he keeps his streak of multiple multiple sacks per game.

820
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying? Okay, all right, so I say, see, no,

821
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: see he gets I think he's gonna get one. But

822
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, no, no way, for a month.

823
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: Only been one that's done it in the history, a

824
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: month's worth. I don't know. It's one of one of those.

825
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: It's one of the two. I don't know. I thought

826
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: I remembered you saying that two in the press box

827
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: when you're talking to remember which one. It's a hair thing,

828
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: you know, realize all three of these guys have some much. Yeah, Demarker,

829
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence, he's got some hair. Gastinel Green, Gastel had longer.

830
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: I don't remember what, Oh it was the long the

831
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: end dark here. Yeah, I'm going one sack, one sack,

832
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: not too not too amber. We'll seek play like seek again.

833
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: What is like Zeke. You didn't think he played like

834
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: Zeke last week? We're talking about twenty sixteen, seek like, yes,

835
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: he was, d Zeke, this is this is gonna be

836
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: the best rushing day of the year so far. See

837
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: see it's gonna look like it's gonna look good to see.

838
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. Hey, real quick, before you

839
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 1: got the next question, what do you guys think of

840
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: was Zeke? You said yesterday in the locker room about Yeah,

841
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: when he's asked about you know, what do you say

842
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,720
Speaker 1: to people who who say you've you've lost a step?

843
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: And he said, shut up? What do you guys think

844
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: about that? Ah? I thought it was kind of funny,

845
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 1: but I think, um, you know, the critics who say

846
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: that he's got maturing to do, like, I mean, that

847
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: doesn't paint him as like the most mature guy in

848
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: the world in my opinion. I mean, it's it's funny

849
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: and I think it's harmless. But but at the same time,

850
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: I think he's been hearing that a lot, right, seeing

851
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: that a lot, and he gets to a point like

852
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: it's hard to keep your mouth shut when people are

853
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: coming at you. You know. Well, that's also my question, like,

854
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: do you think it bothers him. Do you think that, yes,

855
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: this bothers it? Yes, yeah. I can't believe I just

856
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: said yeah, yeah. I'm sure it does bother him. And

857
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's not gonna say it because I don't know.

858
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: Maybe it sounds arrogant, but I'm sure it's frustrating not

859
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: just balling out for one forty every week like he

860
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: did last year. You know, like you get used to that.

861
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: I hate questions like that. I don't even know who

862
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: asked that, And I've gotten in trouble before by saying

863
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,879
Speaker 1: by saying that, you know, when I don't know who,

864
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: and then you find out it was some one of

865
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: your friends. No, I find out it was other people.

866
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: But I just don't like that. I don't like that

867
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: question because it's like, you know, people are saying people

868
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: like who, Like that's when Zeke should be like, who

869
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: are you saying it? Are you saying? Are you calling

870
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: me fat? Because they do that all the time, Like

871
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: there's people that are saying that you've done this, or

872
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 1: people are saying you guys quit on that. But are

873
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: you saying he's fat? Right now? He's too fat? I

874
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: don't think he's fat for whatever. No, but I'm torn.

875
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: I'm torn between thinking it's funny and wanting football players

876
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 1: to say funny things and being like, come on, zee,

877
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: you don't need that sound bite. But whatever. Oh well,

878
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,439
Speaker 1: well you know shut people up then too. That's another

879
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,720
Speaker 1: way to run by people and score. And I thought

880
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: it was pretty interesting the game, the thirty yard run

881
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: he had last week. When you think back to other

882
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: times this last season, he breaks free, I mean he's

883
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: going to the house. I mean there's there's nobody that's

884
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: gonna catch him. That's his mentality. He's his speed guy,

885
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: and he's even though he looks big, he is big.

886
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: He can run. But go back to that game, he

887
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: was looking for cuts. He was looking for ways that

888
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: he could he wasn't gonna get caught from behind it

889
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: because he had he had the ability to go, but

890
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: he didn't think he could get there, so then he

891
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: started making cuts and all that. That to me tells

892
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 1: me that either that particular play he couldn't go all

893
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: the way, or he doesn't feel like he's got the speed.

894
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: Because the speed guy's getting the open field like that

895
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: that they're they're gone. When they start looking around, then

896
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: that they they're like, all right, I gotta cut here,

897
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: and I gotta take angles away from people. But the

898
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 1: fast guys don't really worry about that. I'd like to

899
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: look at that play kind of believe that, But I

900
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: also think that there's a part of that that you

901
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: might be missing that maybe he thought a guy had

902
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: an angle. Yeah, I want to look at that. That's

903
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,320
Speaker 1: less about his own his own speed and more about

904
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: I think this guy's got the angle on me, so

905
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: let me try to make a move so I can, yeah,

906
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: make as much out as I can. That run was

907
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: like from inside their own twenty right. It was kind

908
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: of back on that side. Not a lot of players

909
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,919
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Tyreek Hill comes to mind, but there's

910
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: not a lot of players in the NFL that are

911
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,399
Speaker 1: going to house the ball from eighty five yards away,

912
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: like just but Zeke is one of those. Would you

913
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: not last year you don't think he was that kind

914
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 1: of guy. He had a couple of sixty yard yes,

915
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: that's it wasn't like they were gonna catch him in

916
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: the last ten or fifteen if it would have been

917
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: eighty five. From my memory, the one he had against Detroit,

918
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 1: he had to dive into the end zone to get

919
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: there in front of the guys. That one he had

920
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: against Cincinnati, he ran straight up the middle and just

921
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: ran everybody right train size hole down the middle of

922
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,439
Speaker 1: the field. And it was Yeah, but I'm talking about

923
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: the speed of the secondary to close on him. It

924
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: wasn't like he was way faster than they were. You're

925
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: running that far, I think, Okay, I don't think I'm

926
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: gonna when you're running that far. I think as soon

927
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: as maybe ten yards away, the guy that's falling Zeke

928
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,399
Speaker 1: or they're running, it's not gonna catch up. They usually

929
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: give up when they're that far. I still, I guess

930
00:44:57,800 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say is I don't think of

931
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,439
Speaker 1: him as a as like a ball. I just don't

932
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: think of him as a burner, like that guy that's

933
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: definitely always going to get away from the defense. He

934
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: can do it and has done it on occasion. But

935
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: that's not that's not the strength of his games. I

936
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 1: get your point. I mean, basically, what you're saying is

937
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: he's not He's not that guy that's that His game

938
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: is predicated on speed, right, It's like a combination of things,

939
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: and he has good speed, but he's not like the

940
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: game's not just predicated. The Cincinnati play, he literally took

941
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 1: the ball, went right up the middle, didn't have to

942
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: change course or anything. This Arizona play, he's making a

943
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: man missing the hole, he's cutting, he's you know this

944
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:36,479
Speaker 1: is obviously semantics, but yeah, probably and I canna score.

945
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: I don't think of Twitter. I just pull up Zeke. Yeah,

946
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: Cardinals thirty. And I don't think he's a step slower

947
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: because he didn't score on that play. Yeah, I thought

948
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: he could of they were and they were close. Twenty

949
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 1: seven was closing in on him. I mean, I think

950
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: he probably made the right decision breaking out to the outside.

951
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's probably the right thing to do. All right,

952
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,879
Speaker 1: let's get the next question. He's fine. Do you guys

953
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: think that they will run any wildcat plays with Switzer?

954
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: No wildcat O, Your wildcat is back that. In my opinion,

955
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: he is the guy. I mean, the wildcat started when

956
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 1: you have quarterbacks that aren't very athletic and you need

957
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: some kind of ways to trick it up. But when

958
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: you have a quarterback who can run and throw, I

959
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,439
Speaker 1: mean that touchdown that he had was a wildcat type

960
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 1: of play. So I don't I could see some different

961
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 1: types of plays with Switzer, but I don't know if

962
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 1: it's necessarily wildcat. I say, no, I'm not trying yeah, no, sorry,

963
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: not trying to take it. Is Whitnen's blocking becoming a liability, No,

964
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: I don't call it a liability. Watch the touchdown, the

965
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: one that Zeke's last touchdown that that was a really

966
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: nice play by all three of those guys on the

967
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: right side. Liability means he's hurting the team. I don't

968
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: think he's blocking is hurting the team now, I don't.

969
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,919
Speaker 1: I also, I'm not one that believes that that Jason

970
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: Witten as a blocker is as good as Jason Witten

971
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: the blocker five years ago. But I don't think he's

972
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: a liability, not at all. He definite he had a

973
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 1: play in that game where he let up on a

974
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: block that resulted in not as good of a game

975
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: that it could have been. Right, I don't think of

976
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 1: him as a liability either. He's just a He's an

977
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: all around good player. He's not Martellis Bennett in the

978
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: run game like, He's not this just maller tight end

979
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: block right. And you know, over the time that I've

980
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: been here, he's probably good for a flag or so

981
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,919
Speaker 1: every game or two. I mean, you know, you hear,

982
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 1: you get he gets flagged on a somewhat regular basis,

983
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 1: But you overlook those things because he's he is a

984
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: damn good all around player. I certainly don't think of

985
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:38,720
Speaker 1: him as a liability at all. I think when guys

986
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 1: get older in their career, they or not even older.

987
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,359
Speaker 1: I mean when they're trying to get off the ball

988
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: so quick that that that's going to happen. I mean

989
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: you were trying to anticipate. Because he knows that he

990
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 1: going up against defensive ends that are twenty four to

991
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: twenty five years old. I mean, he's gotta take every

992
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,479
Speaker 1: half second he can. And you know, but von Miller

993
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: does the same thing as far as like I gotta,

994
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 1: I gotta do this and results in a flag, of

995
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: results in a flag. But I think I think those

996
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: penalties have gone up for Witten as the years have

997
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: gone up here, it makes sense, But your makes liability, No,

998
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: not at all. I don't think. I think a liability

999
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: is a way too strong word for that. Um. Like

1000
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: I said, I think I think they're plays. I mean,

1001
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: you go back to every game you can find plays

1002
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 1: where his blocking isn't the greatest and so, but I

1003
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: don't think it's when you look at the whole full

1004
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: picture of what he does and especially their ability to

1005
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: kind of that's the thing like when some guys come

1006
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: in the game, you pretty much know what they're gonna

1007
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 1: be doing. You know, if ja if Hannah comes in

1008
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: the game, you know what he's going to be doing.

1009
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 1: The fact that Jason Witten is a versatile tight end

1010
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 1: that can block and catch passes and do both of them, well,

1011
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 1: I think that's what makes him special. So no way

1012
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 1: would end and there's still not many tight ends in

1013
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: the game that are getting open enough like as receivers,

1014
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 1: but then go to the line of scrimmage and play

1015
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: that way, right. I think Kelsey's a good blocker, okay,

1016
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: think and I think that's what's kind of the same thing,

1017
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: the same thing as Jason though it's it's he's an

1018
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: okay blocker, But how many how many tight ends you

1019
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: put him on a defensive end and they're gonna really

1020
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: be able to block that guy, Like that's already a mismatch, right, Yeah,

1021
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: you did you watch the game late enough last night

1022
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: to hear Romo talking about Winton. Yeah, that was pretty

1023
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: cool about how good, like how he could have been

1024
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: he was the beneficiary, Yeah, but he was. But he

1025
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: was talking about like how on third and eight He's like,

1026
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: I know this is an eight yard comeback route, but

1027
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,799
Speaker 1: run it past the sticks. And Nance said he was like, yeah,

1028
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 1: Witten did that a few times, like yeah, understatement, yeah, romo. Um,

1029
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: I'm telling you every time. It was a good chance

1030
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,439
Speaker 1: to watch and listen to him even more. And he's

1031
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: he's he's really good. I mean, he's just really good

1032
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: at what he's doing. I mean, this is this is

1033
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: what he's supposed to be doing. I think. I mean,

1034
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,280
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's not. It wasn't a great quarterback,

1035
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying at this stage, I think this

1036
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: is this is perfect for him. He actually like he

1037
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: really enjoys it too. Sorry, no, I was gonna say.

1038
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: I actually think when Saul sitting down, I'm talking twenty

1039
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 1: thirty years from now, he will be more remembered as

1040
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: a commentator than he will as a quarterback. And that

1041
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: says a lot because I mean, think about John Madden.

1042
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 1: John Madden won a Super Bowl as a coach. I

1043
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: think most people today know him more for Madden the

1044
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: Game and for and as a commentator than they do

1045
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 1: with him as a coach. And that's what I that's

1046
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: the point I'm making is I think he will be

1047
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: so good at that that his legacy will be more

1048
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,760
Speaker 1: around the fact that he was a really, really great commentator.

1049
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but because that's what people you know, young people,

1050
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: that's how young people relate to older players. You know,

1051
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:38,439
Speaker 1: there's young people don't know anything about George Hollis really

1052
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,240
Speaker 1: or Tom Landry yea, but no Lombardi because it's the trophy.

1053
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: And they know Madden because they play the game and

1054
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: maybe they've watched him in But Michael Irvin's on TV

1055
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: every day and right now, if you ask young people

1056
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 1: what they thought of Michael Irvin, they're probably gonna still

1057
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 1: think of him as a wide receiver more than they

1058
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 1: think of him as a TV personality. Would you not

1059
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 1: say that's accurate or I think you might be the

1060
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 1: issue guy. I think you might be a little too

1061
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 1: close to properly comment on that. I think you think

1062
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: you think most people still young people think they don't

1063
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: think of him as a well a great wide receiver.

1064
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: Young and young people who aren't lifelong Dallas Cowboys fans

1065
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 1: probably not what Yeah, but that's what I guess. That's

1066
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: the point. I'm not talking about just the average person

1067
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: on the street, because if you do that, then yeah,

1068
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,320
Speaker 1: most people that are just average person think think of

1069
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,360
Speaker 1: him and Smith as a gallon dancing with the stars.

1070
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's that. I'm saying. If you're

1071
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 1: a football fan, if you're a Cowboys fan, how do

1072
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 1: you how do you relate to that? How do you

1073
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: know that guy? In Oakland Raiders fan? Do you think

1074
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: they still think of John Madden more as a coach

1075
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: than they do as a that's the game or as

1076
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 1: the commentator? I think, I mean, keep like Michael Irvin.

1077
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,360
Speaker 1: Kids who are going into college right now have no

1078
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: memory of Michael Irvin playing, so they probably think of

1079
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: him as a TV host who they know was a

1080
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 1: good wide receiver because he always talks about it and

1081
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 1: like Daz is his son and all that type of

1082
00:51:58,280 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 1: And that's the thing too, Tony talks about it a

1083
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 1: lot on there. I think, you know, the Patriots are

1084
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 1: probably going to play the Chiefs and the AFC Championship Game,

1085
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 1: and that's where whoever's going to be an AFC champ

1086
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: that's where Tony. That's gonna be the biggest moment to

1087
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:15,319
Speaker 1: me for for how people will be watching that game

1088
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 1: right there. And I do believe that they have the

1089
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl as well, but I'm not even counting that

1090
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 1: because no one listens to the commentator because they're at parties,

1091
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,839
Speaker 1: so that that's probably not going to be as big

1092
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: a moment. I mean, he'll have some opportunities in the

1093
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: playff super Bowls. I think NBC has is it? I

1094
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 1: thought it was CBS and maybe not, But either way,

1095
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 1: he'll be at the AFC Championship game. They don't have

1096
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: parties for that usually we're watching that. He'll have an

1097
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 1: opportunity to really show the world like how good he

1098
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:49,360
Speaker 1: is and it's NBC. Is it okay? Next year? No?

1099
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 1: I don't remember what the question was about Romo. Oh

1100
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: it was about wow we got we got there from blocking? Yeah,

1101
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: way to go. It's close enough right now. Yeah, it's

1102
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: only been one game. But has Demontre Moore made made

1103
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: any difference on the D line? I thought he was good, see,

1104
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 1: I mean he had a nice he had a nice

1105
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 1: takedown on Carson Palmer, seemed like you got some pressure.

1106
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: He's got the versatility to play some tackle if they

1107
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 1: need him to, which is important if first of all,

1108
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: because they're short there anyway, and also because Pie has

1109
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: been banged up. So see, I'll say everybody's overshadowed by

1110
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 1: Malik into Marcus right now. But I don't think he's

1111
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 1: been bad. Yeah, I'll say, see, I mean he's done

1112
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: some things. You're right if you're not. If you're not

1113
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,320
Speaker 1: getting sacks, it's easy to say, well, you're not doing anything.

1114
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 1: But but I'm sure he's been fine. Yeah, I don't

1115
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 1: think he's made an impact yet. I mean, yeah, he's

1116
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,839
Speaker 1: been fine. I don't think he's made an impact yet.

1117
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 1: And quite frankly, I think and that may be because

1118
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: my expectations. I expect him to make more of an

1119
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 1: impact as this season wears on he gets back in

1120
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: the flow of things, mainly because I expect those other

1121
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: two guys to take a lot more attention and that

1122
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 1: will create opportunities for him. And I think he's one

1123
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 1: of the few on this defensive line that can take

1124
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: advantage of a one a man to man matchup and

1125
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:08,800
Speaker 1: be able to beat that guy and get to the quarterback.

1126
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 1: He had a couple of pressures and took down the

1127
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: quarterback and his first game back from suspension. So I

1128
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: think that's pretty good. I mean, that's fine. I feel

1129
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: like I just feel like y'all are kind of selling.

1130
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure right now. Honestly, to be honest with I

1131
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 1: just he goes back to a lot of other conversations

1132
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 1: we've had today. I guess this is kind of that day.

1133
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 1: But you know, I just I don't think it's a

1134
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: significant amount. I mean, I think he was okay. I

1135
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: thought he was fine. I didn't say it was a

1136
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: significant amount. He's just the question was impact. I don't

1137
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: know if I say impact. So whatever, Derek, Yeah, Oh,

1138
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: I mean he's good. We're just haven't seen enough. See

1139
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 1: see Barron Jones plays Wait, Barron Jones better playing closer

1140
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage. Hmm, I see. I'd certainly

1141
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 1: there's a big hesitation. Why the hesitation for everybody? The

1142
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: hesitation is because I haven't seen a lot of great

1143
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: plays at the line of scrimmage, But have you seen

1144
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: a lot in the back end? He made He made

1145
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: a nice play on them on the would be touchdown

1146
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 1: in Denver and the guy got concussed. That was but

1147
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 1: and and I know he. I saw him with my

1148
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 1: own eyes make some great plays from center field at

1149
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: training camp. It has not translated to the regular season yet.

1150
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 1: But earlier in his career they were playing him around

1151
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: the line of scribbage a lot, and he tended. I

1152
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 1: thought he was playing pretty well in that kind of role.

1153
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: That's why they were putting up So so we've kind

1154
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: of seen moments of both. That's what that was my

1155
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 1: hesitation at least. And I don't know that I've seen

1156
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: either one consistently or either one like this season in

1157
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,760
Speaker 1: these three games. He is an all around, very talented

1158
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 1: guy who hasn't put it all together yet. Yeah, it's

1159
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 1: a good way to put it. I mean, that's a

1160
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 1: good way it is. Yeah, let's good to put it.

1161
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: Did you answer, um, are you playing? Ember loves to

1162
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: call Nick out. Let's call any one of them. I'm

1163
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 1: not just Nick. Yeah, I think he's probably better at

1164
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. But I mean who cares? I mean,

1165
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 1: who cares at third and three? I mean, like that

1166
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: part of the field, no one really cares. They care

1167
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:13,879
Speaker 1: when it's forty yards down the field, and you didn't

1168
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: make the play, That's what I mean. And so yeah,

1169
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 1: I think he's better right here, but his job is

1170
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: to also be back here and be center field. So

1171
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 1: that's kind of the issue, That's what I mean. And

1172
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: this one is kind of a prediction type of thing. Well,

1173
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:31,239
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley fumble and the Cowboys RecA the turnover. Now,

1174
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,799
Speaker 1: we have not talked about that all week. Well, Nick said,

1175
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, Nick, Nick said, he came up with his

1176
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 1: story in the shower. He does his best thinking in

1177
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: the shower. I do my thinking when I walk my dog,

1178
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 1: and I was thinking about that while I was walking

1179
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 1: my dog this morning. They have what one takeaway this year?

1180
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis, Anthony Brown and Anthony Brown. You're right, I'm

1181
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,399
Speaker 1: sorry they have two and Millie Collins at the one.

1182
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 1: What a Millie Collins Denver? Oh? Oh so they have Okay,

1183
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 1: they have I guess they have three on the season.

1184
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:04,839
Speaker 1: Won a game, right, but none in the last game.

1185
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:10,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yes, which I'm two. Marinelli's goal is forty

1186
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 1: and they're woefully they're woefully short right now. They I mean,

1187
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 1: that would be great, get some takeaways. I don't know

1188
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: if it's if Gurley is gonna fumble, but he's been

1189
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 1: having some fumble issues this year. I know golf has

1190
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: been awesome, but pick this dude off, even if it's

1191
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: because you're he's throwing while he's getting hit or something

1192
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: that get a takeaway that would make me feel a

1193
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 1: lot better about your chances to win. Yeah, we don't

1194
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: have much time left, so let's get some quick predictions.

1195
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 1: Thanks for the game, member, Amber. Why don't we start

1196
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: with you give us your your prediction for this game?

1197
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 1: Who wins? What's the score? I hate saying this again

1198
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: because I've been saying it almost every week about Switzer,

1199
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 1: but I'm just like waiting for him to just go

1200
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: for it. And you're just like it's like roulette, Like

1201
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: it's like red red red with it. Yeah, all right,

1202
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 1: that's yeah. I'm learning from the cowboys with some of

1203
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: these guys. That's what they call it, gambler's fallacy, for

1204
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 1: whatever that's worth. But staying on ten, they don't realize

1205
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: that the probabilities stay the same about it every single

1206
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 1: time it resets. Yeah, learned that in math class. Well

1207
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 1: that's my my crazy little prediction, which I'm still waiting

1208
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 1: for it to happen. It's very simple. Switzer, first touchdown,

1209
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 1: He's just gonna grab that ball and run for it

1210
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: and then let me see it. Twenty eight, twenty three,

1211
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 1: thirty eight seventeen. Dallas, they just they're thirty eight seventeen.

1212
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 1: They're just gonna kick their ass. I'm gonna say one

1213
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five total yards for Zeke total, one

1214
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 1: seventy five. He's gonna go off baying about one thirty. See,

1215
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 1: I've been sticking with Switzer, you've been sticking with one

1216
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 1: thirty five all purpose yards. They can win by three touchdowns.

1217
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 1: I think we're about to see the difference between the

1218
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 1: quality and cornerbacks that Dez Bryant has been facing. I

1219
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 1: think if you own him in fantasy, start him. I'm

1220
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: thinking eight catches, one twenty in a touchdown something like that.

1221
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be quite as bad. But

1222
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 1: I think, honestly, the Cowboys I think are better across

1223
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: the board. The Rams have better defensive linemen, but I

1224
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 1: consider that a wash, and I think they're gonna crack

1225
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 1: thirty points this week, thirty one, thirty one, twenty ish,

1226
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: something like that. That's interesting. You guys took both things.

1227
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I was gonna say the running game.

1228
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 1: I think this is a game. Talking about what you

1229
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 1: talked earlier in the week, Dave, about how aggressives this

1230
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 1: defense is. I think this is going to create some

1231
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 1: lanes for Zeke that he hasn't really seen yet this year,

1232
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 1: and I do think that. I think he's tired of

1233
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 1: hearing the talk, and I think he has I think

1234
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: this offensive line is tired of people kind of doubting them.

1235
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 1: I think this is a game where they will create

1236
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: those lanes. Zeke will exploit them. He'll have a big day.

1237
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: I also agree that Dez is going to have a

1238
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: good day too, because he is not This is the

1239
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: first week where he is not facing a cornerback that

1240
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 1: is the caliber of the guys he's already faced. So

1241
00:59:57,560 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a good week for him. I

1242
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys win thirty one sixteen. I think they

1243
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 1: blow them out. I don't think it's going to be

1244
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: really that close by the time you get to the

1245
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: third and fourth quarter. All Right, guys, appreciate you joining us.
