00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,479

26
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,680

31
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: But I did bring you a gift, Rob. I thought

32
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: that we should balance out the show since I've got

33
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: to know you, cap On and Rob, you can wear

34
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: the Texas Longhorn cap I refuse to do that, but

35
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: since my boss is probably listening upstairs and he's a

36
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: proud Texas alum, I'll just say you'll wear its politely declined.

37
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: Let him let him. I've said it next to me here,

38
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: and I'll make this valve right off the top close

39
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: to me. Okay, Okay, I'm gonna make this valve right

40
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: off the top. Okay. If Texas wins on Saturday at

41
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: the Cotton Bowet, I will wear this Texas Longhorn cap.

42
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: That sounds like a man that's very confident that his

43
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: football team is gonna win. I'm not that confident. What

44
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: gives you that idea? I'm not that But we're gonna

45
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: find out if Tyler Murray is a first round draft

46
00:02:54,240 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: pick or not? On the Oak's right. Good? All right,

47
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: let's jump into the Cowboys. You want to please? Yeah,

48
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: let's do that, all right, go there, please to maybe

49
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: two teams that won't score fifty points in the game.

50
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: You think that's your bold prediction? Yeah, neither one of

51
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: them will score fifty. What's the final score? Because, oh,

52
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: these teams are going to score fifty Okay, individually, not

53
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: as an over under. All right, I got you? Yeah,

54
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: I'm following along with me now, yeah I am, thank you.

55
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: Let's go straight to the injury report from yesterday? How

56
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: about it? Who wants to fill us in on what

57
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: was an interesting injury report yesterday? Well, injury slash practice report,

58
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: because you got two defensive linemen that weren't here yesterday

59
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: for non injury reasons. David Irving, according to Jerry Jones,

60
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: he gets into one practice on Wednesday, his first practice

61
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: in almost a full calendar year, and then he's away

62
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: from the team yesterday excuse absence with family, family matters

63
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: that he's handling, and he was handling personal business all

64
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: of preseason as well. And Randy Gregory another one of

65
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: these scheduled excused absences. A day off, it's not really

66
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: a day off. He's got to go to Chicago, fly

67
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: to the NFL offices up there and meet with them.

68
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: And can they not do that on Tuesday when part

69
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: of his reinstatement process, Well, I got to do it

70
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: in the middle of the week. Just kind of have

71
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: to be grateful that we have him now. I think

72
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: that's the main thing I'm drawing from this. It's probably

73
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: gonna be something we have to do once a month,

74
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: I think, Mickey, Yeah, Jason Garrett, it happened the night

75
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: of the preseason finale. He wasn't there. It's just it's

76
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: every time, every time some former Texan in that front office.

77
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: Maybe so, maybe so, No, I doubt that. Um, Jason

78
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: Garrett said back then, this is probably gonna be a

79
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: regular occurrence. So yeah, Brian's it could be once a month,

80
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,119
Speaker 1: it could be I don't know what kind of notice

81
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: he gets ahead of time to go up and do this,

82
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: but um, it's something you know, he's just gonna have

83
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: to miss a practice here there. Yeah, why don't they

84
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: just come here? It's just just my too many questions.

85
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's all about responsibility. I

86
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,559
Speaker 1: think it's all about, hey, are you capable of getting

87
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: on an airplane and come up here and sitting down

88
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: with us? And I think they're honestly, I don't think

89
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: they're trying to make this very convenient for him. I

90
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: think they're I think they're testing him, and I think

91
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: they're testing him all part of the test for yeah,

92
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: for for everything, for if he can manage his life

93
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: on the field off the field, and this is part

94
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: of it. If he's showing responsibility to get on an

95
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: airplane once a month or whenever they call him up there,

96
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: then that's part of the test. And so you know it,

97
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: as long as he could keep getting on that airplane

98
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,239
Speaker 1: and going up there and visiting, coming back and hopefully

99
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: help you win a football game on Sunday, you know,

100
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: then do whatever you have to do. But yeah, I

101
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: just don't feel like that they're gonna make They haven't

102
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: made this very convenient for him. You think he has

103
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: to pay for his own flight. I was wondering that

104
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: same thing. I probably does absolutely at the last minute. Well,

105
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: they probably know, I mean, Okay's got to pay more.

106
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's say this is not available Southwest and

107
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: Midway's not bad. Uh. You know the thing about it is,

108
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: he probably knows, Okay, every maybe there is maybe it's

109
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: a schedule thing. I'm sure the Cowboys know his plans

110
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: or what his what his obligations are to the league,

111
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: and so they probably said, you know, if he if

112
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: he's got to take a practice off every now and

113
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: then to do this to be able to play, I'll

114
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: walk him on my back. Yeah, I'll carry him on

115
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: my back. If that's what it means all the way

116
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: to Chicago. Why not Jerry allowed? You know what, I

117
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: don't know. It's not like a recruiting violence. You know what.

118
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's against the salary cap? Oh there

119
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: you go in providing providing transportation. Oh you think Yeah,

120
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: that might be. You know, someone would say, okay, well

121
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: how much is the jet fuel? You know they would

122
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: they would use that as a cost get you suspended

123
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: in the NCAA, right for sure. It would be the

124
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: one that The one that makes me curious is the

125
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: irving absence because look, I don't know if it's the

126
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: same thing personal that he had, you know, to take

127
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: care of in the off season. But he gets one

128
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: practice in and now you've got a light practice Friday.

129
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: At least he got the practice in pads on Wednesday.

130
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: But he is he ready? Is he? You know? Has

131
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: he been around enough? Is he involved enough in the

132
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: game plan to be able to help you for ten

133
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: or fifteen snaps on Sunday? I still assume. So we're

134
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: gonna find out Saturday. Yeah, we'll find out Saturday. But

135
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: you'd like to see him put in a full week,

136
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, as much time as he's missed. Which brings

137
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: up mystery number three. Terrence Williams. Who forgot about that one? Who? Yeah?

138
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: What roster move did they make to make room for it?

139
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: And the thing the irving The new thing yesterday, as

140
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: far as the practice report goes, is a foot injury

141
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: of course, he had the foot surgery in the off season,

142
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: and now they list foot as of the one of

143
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: the reasons. Well, he would he had missed for non

144
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: injury reasons Friday and Wednesday, and then yesterday it was

145
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: a foot issue that to put him on the report. Yeah,

146
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: you know, with Terrence, I personally think that they're I

147
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: don't know, Mickey, We've all talked about this, and you know,

148
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: again you do a great job of getting walking around

149
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: the hall and kind of vision with people. I'm just

150
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: getting the impression that they're going to do something with

151
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: Travis Frederick, you know, I don't. I think that they're

152
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: going to try and get Williams healthy and and you know,

153
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: let's also remember there's potentially that suspension thing. We kind

154
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: of kind of put that. Yeah, and you know, in

155
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: not this week, next week. I mean, that's kind of

156
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: hanging over their heads right now. So so you think

157
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: because of that, they're not investing too much time yeah, him, Yeah,

158
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: I do, okay, And I think that I think that

159
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: I think the foot injury is a legitimate thing. I

160
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: absolutely do think. I mean it's something that's they're they're

161
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: working through. Terrence, you know, is an extremely tough guy.

162
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: So we'll we'll see how that goes. But I'm getting

163
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: the vibe that that they're gonna do something with Travis Frederick.

164
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: How how do you before Travis? How does it work

165
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: as far as Terrence Williams. Let's say if Terrence Williams

166
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: the foot injury was to the point where they wanted

167
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,239
Speaker 1: to I r him. Yeah, if he had a suspension

168
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: of two to four games, that can yeah, yeah, you

169
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: have to be on the active roster. So I think

170
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do is see, you know, carry

171
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 1: him on the team and you know, but he is

172
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: dealing with the foot, and so we'll see how that

173
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: all plays. But I just I just get the feeling

174
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: that and it's it's not that things haven't progressed for

175
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: for Frederick. I just don't think that they're to the

176
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: point where they can they can say, Okay, in five weeks,

177
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: he's going to be back. And I talked with Travis

178
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, right, and UM asked him about the progress

179
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: he's making, and he's, you know, he's lifting weights probably

180
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: four times a week, right, but he's and as he

181
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: indicated that he's from a strength standpoint, he is at

182
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: the point where he would be at the outset of

183
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: a of a off season program basically, right, and so,

184
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: which is not a good indication, right right, And it's

185
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: andy the nerves have to come back to life, yes,

186
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: and so that's what they're waiting. There are certain benchmarks

187
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: from that standpoint dealing with me. He obviously he obviously

188
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: lost a lot of strength, you know in this If

189
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: he's just at the level of what you're saying, then

190
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: and then and he and he nobody works harder than him.

191
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: I mean, we've got a lot of guys that work

192
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: hard in that weight room. But if he's at that

193
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: level and get him ready for an NFL season, his

194
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: work is extensive. And if you do the math, you

195
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: know week seventeen, it's week five, all right, you have

196
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,079
Speaker 1: to count in eight weeks. So you know, if you

197
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: go another month here and it's still not a position

198
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: where he's ready to play football, then he spends eight

199
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 1: weeks on I R. It's gonna be the rest of

200
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: the season anyway, minus a potential playoffs, right, Well, Okay,

201
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: so it would be if if he went on now right,

202
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: eight weeks a week for when he goes he could

203
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: be back for he's got a buye week. That's that's

204
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: one game, could be back for the last three or

205
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: three games or so, I mean if he's still possible along. Yeah,

206
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: and so that would be the incentive for a run. Yeah,

207
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: if you can get in and on a run, that

208
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: that's the thing. But you know he's at least you

209
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: at least you've saved yourself that they they've got some

210
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: some things they're having to do with Williams, and that's

211
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: that's okay. Every team deals with that. But you know

212
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: that that to me, right there is if you want

213
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: to make sure you take care of things with Williams,

214
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: go ahead and do the thing with Travis Frederick. Joe

215
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: Looney's playing well well, I mean I'm not going to

216
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: act like that. Joe Looney is Travis Frederick. But I'm

217
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: saying Joe Looney has not been a liability with this

218
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: with this offensive line. So I are both guys. I

219
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: mean you could, yeah, you get the spot. Yeah, I

220
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: mean if you. I mean Rob was talking about the

221
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: math on Frederick. I think they won this week five right,

222
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: and these weeks he's not ready to play next week

223
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: by any means, And he's not ready to play the

224
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: next week. So that's seven. The buye is eight. I

225
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: don't think in three. I mean, and then you're looking

226
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: and then and once you get into November, you got

227
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: Thursday game, right, you know, and so the weeks come

228
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: even faster. Right, in fact, you got back to back

229
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: Thursday games that take you basically, he would be through

230
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: the exactly. And if you just do the eye test

231
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: on him, don't you think he's lost some weight? He has, Yeah,

232
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: he has, and and and and the way he described

233
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: it to Bill Build it a nice job of asking

234
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: him the right questions. He gave him a good answer.

235
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: He's at that level of Okay, I'm just now gonna start.

236
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: And you know what, what's an offseason program? They it's

237
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: a two month, three month operation for these guys. And

238
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: that's with Travis Frederick probably lifting four days a week,

239
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: you know, and so and so I would look at it.

240
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: If they make this decision, I would look at it.

241
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: It's not a setback in his rehab program to come

242
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: back from this. It's you know, basically he's probably looking

243
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: at that length of time anyway right now, especially when

244
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: you look at the schedule going forward and it's you know,

245
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: your they but if you're two months away from being

246
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: ready to best case scenario, then they were dealt a

247
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: poor hand, and they were hoping to draw an inside

248
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: straight off a poor hand. You know, they were trying.

249
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: They were trying to see what cards would come up,

250
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: you know. And I hate to make a poker analogy

251
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: about a man's health, but in actually that's what they're doing.

252
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: They're saying, hey, we're gonna keep him on active just

253
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: in case something turns the right way. Yeah, and now,

254
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: and and we all knew this was gonna come. I mean,

255
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I might gonna put words in your guy's mouth.

256
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: I had a feeling they were going to have to

257
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: look at his roster spot at some point in time

258
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: during the season and say, okay, if he's not if

259
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: he's making progress, how much progress is he making enough

260
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: progress for me to say, Okay, I'm not gonna worry

261
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: about him, or do I am I gonna is it?

262
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: Just okay? In eight weeks time, he might be even better.

263
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: You know, I need this roster spot now, so why

264
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: not put him on the injured reserve and use the

265
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: roster best. I mean, one positive about this from a

266
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: quality you said, health just a quality of life standpoint.

267
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: They were even having this conversation like, oh when could

268
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: he be back? They caught it early apparently. So the

269
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: fact that he's able to even lift weight's work out,

270
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: do what he's doing on his own, it speaks good

271
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: for his speaks well to his prospects long term. But yeah,

272
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: like Bill said, you can't You really can't put a

273
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: guess on this right, not at all. And that's part

274
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: of the reason why, you know, you do the math

275
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: with IR. You know, at some point you gotta think, Okay,

276
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: eight weeks out, when could probably be read? Maybe Yeah,

277
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. They didn't make this bet because they

278
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: were so optimistic medically right. They made this bet because

279
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: he he's so good it was worth taking the chance,

280
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: no question. This was just a run of the mill

281
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: center could have been on IR, no question. So the

282
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: bet they were making is, gosh, he's so good. Let's

283
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: just it's worth the chance because that fifty third guy

284
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: on my roster's probably not helping me out. He's not playing.

285
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: She's a he's a practice squad guy basically, And so

286
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: now they're looking at it and they're going, okay, we're

287
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: you know, he was out that. Now, yesterday was the

288
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: first day I've seen him out on the chords. Now

289
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: he could be doing that, and I don't know if

290
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: it was one of those tests let's see how much

291
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: he can do or and if he does get down,

292
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: does he get war down? And you can't do it?

293
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: And he just he doesn't look like he's three weeks

294
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: away from playing football to meet Well said Nikki. Well said,

295
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: And if if you made the move now, he would

296
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: basically bet they've got between They play their last game

297
00:15:54,800 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: in November on Thursday, the same right, and so he

298
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: would be eligible the last basically for the whole month

299
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: of December. There you go. And so in that first

300
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: game in December is Sunday, December ninth, right against the Eagles.

301
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: That's ten more days, right exactly. Yeah, So yeah, I mean,

302
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: if you're so, if you're doing if you're looking at

303
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: the calendar, looking at the math on this thing, these

304
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: these games are coming. I mean we're already the week five. Yeah,

305
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna be to week thirteen. Before I told you.

306
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: You wake up one day and you look at your team,

307
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: you go, wait, we're in week twelve. Okay, Yeah, you know,

308
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's whay it is. There's no waiting

309
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: Week fourteen is December ninth, and you've got four games

310
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: left at that point. So yeah, either he comes off

311
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: that or he stays on. There's no no, you don't

312
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: don't have to make a decision, but right now he

313
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: his spot is just because of the way it is

314
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: right now with the situation is keeping you from adding

315
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: a player that you can use for the game. Now,

316
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: what are the rules on I are as far as

317
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: you can, you can he keeps a PUP right, Okay? Yeah.

318
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: The difference is on ir he would be eligible to

319
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: come back whenever it isn't there. If you're placed on PUP,

320
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: you're not eligible until he's got eight weeks. He's got

321
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: eight weeks. Yeah, you can start full week, but he

322
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: could start practicing after six or six weeks. Yeah. No,

323
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying, is there a deadline on the

324
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,239
Speaker 1: opposite side of that that you have to activate. Now?

325
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: Is that the case with PUP where there's a yes, Yes,

326
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: you're right, that's the difference. You can draw pop out

327
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: for almost twelve weeks, yeah, before you have to make

328
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: a final decision. This one, you just can't get back

329
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: before eight, but you can come back anytime after and

330
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 1: you only can do it for what two players now

331
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: two players, right, it's two players? Yeah? So um. And

332
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: that's the other reason why you would wait until now,

333
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: because you don't know what injuries are going to happen

334
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: in the first month of the season. So if you

335
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: used up one of those spots on Travis Frederick when

336
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: you made the roster cutdown, and then you had two

337
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: more injuries whatever, right now you have a better feel

338
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: as far as your whole roster if you have you know,

339
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: long range injuries or not. And now you got that

340
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: spot available that okay, yeah, unfortunately carried Daytone Jones yep

341
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: for and then what's happened? He comes back. The week

342
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: he comes back, he gets hurt again and it goes

343
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: on ir. Now they put him on straight R R.

344
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember they did, Okay, they there's no difference. Well, yeah,

345
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: after after the I mean you could release him rojured

346
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: and then he reverted to your eye, right, I would

347
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,959
Speaker 1: they do? Right? So, and then the other decision they

348
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: can make after eight weeks. So after the bye, Noah Brown,

349
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: if you need a wide receiver, yeah, he would be

350
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: eligible too. Right, But what's not of numbers this year?

351
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: Right now? Is it? Of all positions? Trying to get

352
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: him to play with four? I want eight on the

353
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: I want eight all right? Eight eight eight eight five

417
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,679

418
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: exposure standpoint. It was a good move and it and

419
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: it forced them to uh improve their facilities, which I

420
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:42,959
Speaker 1: don't know if they would have done that if they

421
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,960

449
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot recently about the passing an aquarium

450
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: Brandon question, whether or not they need number a true

451
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: number one receiver. Yeah, and personally watching the telesion years,

452
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: I've seen that the best times a year. He literally

453
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: five years much of a morning one receiver obviously was

454
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: kind of but he really spared the ball around a lot.

455
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: I think that. Okay, okay, we appreciate it. Let's talk

456
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: about the pass offense. Yeah, he was. He was the

457
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: one question I did hear about those you feel like

458
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: they need a number one receiver? This is something you

459
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: and I debated in training camp. Yeah, you know, and

460
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: is it? Is it the right way? You know, we'll

461
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: see this weekend. But what we'll know, we'll see this

462
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: weekend if the committee can do some good things. My

463
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: answer was yes, what was your answer? Yes, I think

464
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: you debated with somebody else, but I think I was

465
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 1: somebody else. It might have been somebody on a on

466
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: a on another show. But yeah, I know it's got

467
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: the nerve to debate them, is me right? That's true.

468
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: The thing The thing is, though, this weekend is great

469
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: pass rush, poor secondary. Right, Let's see what happens if,

470
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: if in fact that they can protect let's see if

471
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,719
Speaker 1: the committee can come up with some place. I personally

472
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 1: think that they're gonna have to. I think they're gonna

473
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: have to throw the football in this game. I don't

474
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: think they can live by the run. I really really don't.

475
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: And and and I think it's going to be imperative

476
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: for them to be able to throw the football. And

477
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: we'll see that if this team did have a guy

478
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: that can hang their hat on or two, well, I

479
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: feel so much better about playing this team. Yes, but no,

480
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: let's let's see if they're bad in the secondary. They

481
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: give up plays, they give up big plays. Let's see

482
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: if they could protect and take advantage of a bad secondary.

483
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: I've got a random question. Has a committee ever worked

484
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: in anything from a government social socialism, from from a

485
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: governmental standpole, pin by committee, wide receiver by committee, NCAA,

486
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: selection committees, as it ever worked? Oh, now you're talking

487
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: my language there. On the quarterback committee, usually if you

488
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,959
Speaker 1: got three quarterbacks, you don't have one. Um So if

489
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: you had nine wide receivers, do you have one? Running back?

490
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: Committee's work. That's pretty much the vogue now in vogue

491
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: now other than this team. It works pretty well on

492
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: this team. Yeah, I am encouraged by the fact that

493
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: they had more explosive plays last week. They got three

494
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: pass plays of over thirty yards in the game. They

495
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: were able. They're gonna need They're gonna need five in

496
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: this game. Yeah, they're gonna need some big plays, especially

497
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: if they're not getting takeaways defensively to get short fields with.

498
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: They're got to get starting plays. They have got to

499
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: start scoring some points. They have got to start scoring

500
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: some points. They they're gonna about to play some teams

501
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: that that are you know, are going to score some points.

502
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: They narrowed the committee last week. Hearns had forty seven

503
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: of sixty nine snaps, Gallup had forty, and Beasley had

504
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: thirty eight. There you go, and then it dropped off

505
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: to Thompson with twenty nine in Austin with seventeen. So

506
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: the committee got a little bit smaller because Bryce Butler

507
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: did not play, So that's ten snaps you might have

508
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: given the terrence. They went dispersed to others. So I

509
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: think Rico got more snaps in the game, didn't He

510
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: as opposed the last week, didn't want to stop only

511
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: because of the three the three wide receiver set, I

512
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: mean three tight ends. He got ten snaps. Okay, let's

513
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: go to Maryland, a team that knocked off the Texas

514
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: long Horns in the season opener. Sean Hello, Sean, Hey, guys,

515
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: I love your show. I was listening to your show

516
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: yesterday and Brian said that if you're going to point fingers,

517
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: both point to the low hanging fruits of the head

518
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: coach and offensive coordinator. Sure not, but at the same time,

519
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: everyone is pointing fingers in different directions. You know it's

520
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: the head coach just to play callings. The offensive line

521
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: isn't as good, right, you don't have any two wide

522
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: receivers or tight end right, So I'm going to point

523
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: a finger too. If this position actually play better, it

524
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: would make the whole team better. And that's the quarterback position. Okay,

525
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: I think a good quarterback will put a deodorant on

526
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: the whole team. He'd make a play calling and the

527
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: head coach look better. He's the offensive lying a feller

528
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: like Tony Rolo did most of his career. Sure, he

529
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: makes a running back better because the defense wouldn't attack

530
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: the box all the time. He'd make the wilde receivers

531
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: and tight ends better. Jason witt Is going to the

532
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame because of Romo and and Den Ryan

533
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: was a prow baller under him. Okay, I won't think

534
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: that it's a coincidence that Deaz and witness production dropped

535
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: off significantly under Dak Priscott. Okay, And finally, I think,

536
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: but to be mixed, the whole defense better because he's

537
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: able to extend drives and not go swing out all

538
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: the time. You don't think young more thing. Okay, if

539
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: it's first and tend and we get a holding call,

540
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: I'm about to have a harder tack because I know

541
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: we're in trouble. But under Tony first and twenty second

542
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: and twenty I didn't even blink an eye because I've

543
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: seen it time and time at comment over again and

544
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: you know, anyways, thanks guy, Okay, thank you. Sean in Maryland.

545
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: Sean makes some points. Obviously, a quarterback position is very important.

546
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: Dak Dak knew he needed to play better than he

547
00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: had in the first three games. I think he played

548
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: for well last week. Made made some clutch plays on

549
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: that last drive to get you a victory. You know, yeah,

550
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: not not not just the Zeke throw at the end,

551
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: but the fumble recovery that he had the presence of mind.

552
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: That was big. Absolutely. But I will say this, Uh,

553
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: if we're ranking who's gotten the most blame in the

554
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: first four weeks, I think Dak Prescott has been up

555
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: there pretty high. Yes, I mean I put him for

556
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and Jason Fruit fell off the tree. Yeah. Yeah.

557
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gotten a pass by any means. No,

558
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: not Jack Twitter, No, not at all, you know. And

559
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: I will say this, though, how many times we have

560
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,479
Speaker 1: seen this quarterback makes some throws should have been rewarded

561
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: with a touchdown pass to Tavon Austin, that ball was

562
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: thrown perfectly, should have not given up an interception in

563
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: the Seattle game. That that that was thrown perfectly. There

564
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: is Dak Prescott perfect. No, absolutely not. And I understand

565
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: the gentleman's love for Tony Romo. I get it, Okay,

566
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: you know it sounds like to me, you were just

567
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: you're just kind of you know, you're you know, And

568
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: I get it. I get folks love for Romo out there,

569
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: I really do. But Tony Romo and Dak Prescott are

570
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: not the same player, right, They're not. Let's just quit

571
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: trying to compare, Oh, Romo would have done this and

572
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: Tony would have done that. They're different quarterbacks. Dak Prescott

573
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: is different from Tom Brady or Alex Smith or any

574
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: of these other quarterbacks playing in the league. Whatever you

575
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,959
Speaker 1: need to do, find ways to help him along. If

576
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: it's wide receiver by committee, what great. If it's running

577
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:39,719
Speaker 1: the football great. If it's better pass protection Mickey Spagnola, great.

578
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: But whatever you can do to help a quarterback succeed,

579
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: do that. Okay. Trying to conjure up the image of

580
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: Tony Romo showing up in your fantasy is fantasy. This

581
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: is what you are right now. Okay, figure it out,

582
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: figure out what you have to do to let him

583
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: have some success. We all act like that this quarterback

584
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: is no good kid. Was NFC Rookie of the Year,

585
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: Offensive Rookie of the Year just three years against best

586
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: seasoned by a rookie quarterback in NFL history. He figure

587
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: it out for him? Is he got faults? Yes? But

588
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: to sit there and act like that he is somebody

589
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: he's not is pure fantasy on your part. All right,

590
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: I've got and I'm not saying that Dak Prescott is

591
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame quarterback, he's not. But yeah, Terry

592
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: Bradshaw versus Dan Marino, who's a better quarterback if you

593
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: if you're saying throwing the football, just pure passing. Dan

594
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: Marino who had the better career, no doubt. But also

595
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: though they both play in an era where they didn't

596
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: have high turnover, Terry Bradshaw didn't have high turnover of

597
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: his roster okay at four ranks. Yeah, and he got

598
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: just the style of quarterback and so forth. Terry Bradshaw

599
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: is not considered when I look at his career is

600
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: one of the great passers. Bob Greasy, same type of guy.

601
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys that star Art Star exactly. He

602
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: was great. He was he was great, but he's but

603
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: says a bad guy. Packer was a packer absolutely, okay.

604
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: But my point is there are different there that just

605
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: happened to be in front all the time. There are

606
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,959
Speaker 1: different types of quarterbacks. Yeah, Okay. In fact, you can

607
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: look at one that was great here, right. I was

608
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: gonna say, right, you can go Roger're also, but I

609
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: was gonna say Troy Aikman. Yeah, Troy Aikman could be

610
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: a great passer along the lines. I mean his accuracy

611
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: was whatever. But he played a different type game because

612
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: no question was what was suited for this team to win.

613
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: And the best thing that happened to Troy Aikman is

614
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: that preceding him was Steve Pelour and a broken down

615
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: Danny White. Yeah. Unfortunately for Danny White, he had to

616
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: take over for Starbuck. Yeah. And he never never even

617
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: though he tookowski for bart star Yeah three times, he

618
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: takes him to the NFC title game. Everybody forgets that,

619
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 1: including the people that give tours out. But there My

620
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: point is, there are different ways to skin this cat. Yeah.

621
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: And if what you got to determine on Prescott, we've

622
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: already saw it in his Rookie of the Year season

623
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: his first year, is that he can lead a team

624
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: to a thirteen and three record and capable Yeah, and

625
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: and and and and should have been rewarded for a

626
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: playoff win. If they find a way to keep in

627
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterback from converting on thirty nineteen, I

628
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: don't know what's wrong with needing help around you if

629
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: you're a quarterback. I don't think some of that. His

630
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: franchise has been spoiled by great quarterback play. Hall of

631
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: fame quarterback, great players around the quarterbay players around them too.

632
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: Ask Troy Aikman what happened when they ran out of

633
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver? Oh? I live that, Nick asking what happened

634
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: when Michael Irvin we did when we didn't protect him anymore?

635
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: That's a great point. I mean, what happened to him

636
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: in the latter half of his career and then they

637
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: got him killed and then they boot him off the

638
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: field in in two thousand, you're saying the worst part

639
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: for Dak is that he's been he's behind, he had

640
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: to come behind Romo. And how many fans I'm not

641
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: saying Sean who just called, is how many fans that

642
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: we got just the vitriol on Tony Romo? How many

643
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: fans wanted Tony Romo in a ditch a couple of years,

644
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: No question it. It makes me mad, actually, some of

645
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: the stuff we get from people, where's Tony? Why can't

646
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: What do you think about Tony three years ago? What

647
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: were you saying about Tony Romo? Back then? He got

648
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: more crap from fans that I've ever seen, couldn't ever seen. Yeah, sorry,

649
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: I just you know, go play. They always they always

650
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: talk about his playoff record. Yeah, let's let's let's move on. Okay,

651
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: it is what you're right now. If you want to

652
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: tell me, hey, Okay, I don't agree with not having

653
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: a big time wide receiver. I really don't agree with

654
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: these tight ends. Okay. I really think though the right

655
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 1: tackle has regressed from what we saw last year, and

656
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: the left tackle might not be elite. Okay, But and

657
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: I'm missing my starting center. Okay, how can I help

658
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 1: my quarterback? That's where I'm trying to think, and I

659
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: say it, keeps saying this. The quarterback is not perfect.

660
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: He's not accurate all the time. He doesn't anticipate well

661
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: enough at times. But you'll figure out ways to help

662
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: him instead of saying, well, if we brought back Romo,

663
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: things would be different, right, I'm sure they would. He'd

664
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: be laying on his back out there and Brent Brown

665
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: would have a spatula getting him up off the field.

666
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: And you're right here and staff that brought Tony Romo here.

667
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. Okay, so nobody appreciates what

668
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: Romo did more. But let's stop living in fantasy land.

669
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: It's Dak Prescott's team now, and he has proven to

670
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: work or not. And this is the last time we

671
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: spend a segment on that question. If you guys what

672
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: we're doing next. We're diving into those Houston Texas and

673
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 1: figuring out what is gonna take for a Cowboy win

674
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: in the state championship game on Sunday night. If you're

675
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: like me and you love I mean, if you have

676
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: a high thing, then cutting the chord is scary. But

677
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 1: then I found out I could switch it to ACTV

678
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: now and still get the live sports I love. No

00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: that you really find out what he's made of. That's

690
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: why the Cowboys rely on more than stats and scouting

691
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: reports when building their team. When picking a tractor, it's

692
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: why you should rely on more than specs and features

693
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 1: as well. You got to take it out and put

694
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,439
Speaker 1: it to the test the Cowboys did when they named

738
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: the way, I was out there on the Tostitos Championship

739
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: Plaza last night as we were at our live presentation

740
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: of Friday Night Stars, our high school football show which

741
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: previews the high school weekend in North Texas. It's a

742
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: partnership between the Cowboys and CBS eleven and t x

743
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: A twenty one. Lots of activity out there on the plaza,

744
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: and I was thinking, if I was coming from out

745
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: of town for the OU Texas game or for the

746
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 1: Texas OU game, I would stay at the Omni Frisco.

747
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: And I mean, it's a perfect place if you're coming

748
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: in from out of town. In fact, I think I

749
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,320
Speaker 1: know Switzer staying there is he really said he was

750
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: on the radio yesterday. You know, they had the big

751
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: celebrity softball and he had a home run ballpark. I

752
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: don't think he played. Oh no, Matthew McConaughey had a

753
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: two run double though for Texas, which won the game.

754
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: Shower talking about the guy doesn't shower. But anyway, I

755
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: think that is the perfect place to enjoy a weekend

756
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: getaway too. If you're coming in from out of town,

757
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: coming in for a Cowboy game, stay out here at

758
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: the Star. So today is going to be a big

759
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: tour days. What's your suggestion? You know we have like

760
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, we had a bunch of

761
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: Buckeyes coming through. Yeah, when Ohio State was here for

762
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: the TCU game. I haven't seen him today. The Cowboys

763
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: don't have a home game. That might have something to

764
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: do with it. It's a good point, maybe so maybe

765
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: so all right on the road again, right, but it's

766
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 1: a short road trip down to Houston. And now let's

767
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: dive into this matchup the Cowboys versus the Texans. We

768
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: talked a lot about J. J. Watt, Daveon Clowney and

769
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: what the Cowboys need to do offensively to protect the

770
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,399
Speaker 1: quarterback and get that run game established, and Brian You've

771
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: talked about a secondary for the Texans that can be

772
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: taken advantage. They can be taken advantage of, but you

773
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: got to be willing to do it. You have to

774
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 1: be willing to you know you can. You can get

775
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: open on these Texans cornerback safeties. You have a gambler

776
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: with Tyrn Matthew in the way that he plays, you

777
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: have to be aware of where he is on the field.

778
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: But Jonathan Joseph and uh Sharise Wright have shown me

779
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: they have no ability to cover. They don't And Aaron

780
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,760
Speaker 1: Colvin has been banged up. Yea, so they've been struggling

781
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: at Sharie right will take it exactly. And that's you know,

782
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: and they've and we talked about the Lions had had

783
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 1: a little bit of some problems with the nickel. Well,

784
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: this team has had a little bit of problems with

785
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,280
Speaker 1: their nickel as well. Justin Reid is a rookie, say

786
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: that they're having to play with right now. Kareem Jackson

787
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 1: has been banged up. If you can protect, if the

788
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys could protect. And I think that I'm not just saying, hey,

789
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: bang your head and run the football. I love running

790
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 1: the football. Nobody loves running the football more than me.

791
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: But I don't think you could just bang your head

792
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: on early downs. I think you're gonna have to mix

793
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,399
Speaker 1: this thing up. I think you're gonna have to take

794
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: some shots. If you have to max protect, if you

795
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,879
Speaker 1: have to keep some twelve personnel tight ends in there

796
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: and kind of make these guys have to run through,

797
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: you go for it because you can win on the outside.

798
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: If the Cowboys don't win on the outside in this

799
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: game and complete passes, they won't score, and then they

800
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: won't win this game. And that's gonna be on them.

801
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: Can the Can the committee find a way to play

802
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: against a very poor textan secondary. All it takes is

803
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: one of those deep plays early. I think back off

804
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: three last week, I think you need I think you

805
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: need four or five. I think you're gonna need this

806
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: team even on third down gives up plays. I mean,

807
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: they are not a good You could throw the ball

808
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: in these guys and let's see, let's see if Connor

809
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: Williams can hold up. Let's see if Lyle Collins can

810
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: hold up. Let's see if Tyrn Smith can hold up.

811
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: You know, and here I'm saying that, but you know,

812
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: he played a lot better last week I thought too.

813
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: But they've got to hold up up front. Yep. If

814
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna throw the ball and you know, and and

815
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: they need to get they need to It's it's classic

816
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 1: to say the balance and all that, But I think

817
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: the way you win this game last week I thought

818
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: I thought running the ball against the Lions was the

819
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: best way to win. The best way this week is

820
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,280
Speaker 1: to throw the football against against the Texans. He matchup

821
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 1: for Lyle Collins. He's had a lot of those his

822
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: first year as a right tackles. They're gonna move the

823
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: clowney around. Get ready, he'll face what he'll face clowney

824
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: and you know he's played well against top rushers before.

825
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: So we'll see. Does it look like they play what

826
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 1: they're keeping him on the left side he had, But

827
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do with what is with clowney.

828
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: They're doing what they used to do with what four

829
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: or five years ago before he got compromised with the

830
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 1: back and the things that he's had to deal with

831
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: throughout his career. He's still an effective player. You have

832
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: to be aware of him. Lyle Collins cannot get pushed

833
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 1: back in the pocket because I've said this before the

834
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: games I've watched. It seems like every time Watt gets

835
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: near the quarterback, he's slapping at the ball and it's

836
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,240
Speaker 1: on the ground. So you gotta I mean, le Collins

837
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 1: is gonna have to keep him? Why keep him? Why

838
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: don't let him on that inside swim move? Beat you

839
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: to the middle in there? They're gonna have some problems

840
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: if that turns into something that happens regularly. You know.

841
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: We did a t telestrator segment with Will McClay for

842
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,760
Speaker 1: the Jason Garrett Show, and he pointed out some plays

843
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: not only with Clowney, but also what in the run

844
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 1: game where he'll die Like if if arm over quick inside, Yeah,

845
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: he'll come from the backside and run the play down

846
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: him and run the play down too. So you gotta

847
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: you know, he still has he look appears to be healthy.

848
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: He's got five sacks the last couple of weeks and

849
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: forced fumbles too, and so you gotta account for him. Yeah,

850
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 1: because he's got he's got that quickness has come back,

851
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: Yeah he has. He sounds like a lot of two

852
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: tight ends to me. Yeah, I think that I think

853
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: that you will. I think you're right about that. Make

854
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: I think you'll see some twelve personnel, but I also

855
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 1: like your idea about getting in eleven. I'm gonna make

856
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: these defensive backs have to play. You know, if Dak Prescott.

857
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: This will be a key test for Dak Prescott is

858
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: you know, can he hit some guys on the move

859
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: with some accuracy and let them make plays the Texans

860
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: will give If the Texans cover these receivers, I guarantee

861
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: of the Texans will win this football game. Look, they've

862
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: given up twenty seven to twenty twenty seven and thirty four, yeah,

863
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: you know, and they had to be ready to score

864
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: and only and only one really well, I mean the

865
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 1: last quarterback top notch right, So the Giants scored twenty

866
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 1: seven on him, yeah and won the game they did,

867
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 1: I know, Yeah, and they got twenty seven right, yeah,

868
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,399
Speaker 1: so it was a twenty seven twenty game. Luck hung

869
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: some on him too, and shouldn't tie game if they

870
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: If they don't, I don't know why they went for so.

871
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 1: And if they go wide and those guys want to

872
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 1: rush like that, I mean, if they go three wide

873
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: they want to rush like that, then do they have

874
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 1: another linebacker that can run with Zeke? Yeah, they're gonna

875
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 1: have to be conscious of that. And if they want

876
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: to take a safety out of coverage, then those wide

877
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 1: receivers got to win on the Outside's going to get

878
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 1: one on one coverage yeast, And so the committee somebody

879
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: better step up. And I'm still saying at some point,

880
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup is gonna emerge. It's time now. Did it

881
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 1: last week? That thirty seven yard catch early loosen things

882
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 1: up a little bit and they took more deep shots

883
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,439
Speaker 1: in general down the field early in the game last

884
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: week and just said, look, all right, you're gonna have

885
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,360
Speaker 1: to respect us here and that Hell, I think that

886
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: helps Zeke out, I really do. I just want to

887
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: do some more of that, just more opportunities for him. Okay,

888
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 1: flip it around in Deshaun Watson. What's gonna be the key?

889
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a problem for the Texans the first

890
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, going back and watching how they ran

891
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: the football with Lamar Miller were more effective than They've

892
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: had some problems with their offensive line. They've had to

893
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 1: do some shuffling with their offensive line. Davenport, the left tackle,

894
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,240
Speaker 1: started against the Giants and the rookie rank and started

895
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: the next week. You know, in the game against the Colts,

896
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: the center Nick Martin has been banged up, Kelametti has

897
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 1: been banged up, the the guard. They've had some problems inside.

898
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 1: They have they don't have the continuity. They haven't been

899
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,399
Speaker 1: able to really run the football the last couple of weeks.

900
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller is very capable though a running the football

901
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: and they play. When you see it, it's gonna be

902
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: very much like when you watched Watson play at Clemson.

903
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: It's very much at Clemson offense with the shotgun, the snap,

904
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: the inside handoffs and let Lamar Miller kind of run

905
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: that way. Alfred Blue was a capable runner as well.

906
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have been really, really good as stop in

907
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 1: the run. This is gonna be something if they I

908
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 1: think the Texans are gonna have to run the football.

909
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: I think the Texans are gonna try and run the football,

910
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: whether they can do it or not. If they have success,

911
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: run into football again. Problem for the Cowboys. What I

912
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,280
Speaker 1: do worry about, though, is not so much the talent

913
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: in the Cowboys secondary. I worry about the mental mistakes

914
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: or busts that they might have. It seems like these

915
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,319
Speaker 1: last few weeks when they've given up plays at least

916
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,280
Speaker 1: the last two games, and they've given up big plays.

917
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: It's been because of a bust in the secondary. They

918
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: can't have a bust against Hopkins and Fuller and these

919
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 1: guys and Kutique because these guys will run all the

920
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: plays that we talked about kicking the ant hill and

921
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: the ants run everywhere. These guys are the same type

922
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: of players. Watson in the pocket can escape, he can run,

923
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: he can extend plays, and he will run to his

924
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: left and throw the ball sixty yards. They've given up

925
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 1: five passing touchdowns. Three of them would come on us,

926
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: and those three have come over the last two weeks.

927
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,240
Speaker 1: So that cannot happen. The other thing that can't happen

928
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: is what happened early against cam Newton with him running

929
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: the ball, because everybody's so fired up to go get

930
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: a sack that you forget about stopping the run. Uh

931
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: and and I, you know, I figured out that the

932
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 1: you know, the other two games that were really good

933
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: against the run, the two games they weren't Seattle and Carolina. Well,

934
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: it also took them so many carries to gain that

935
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: many yards, right, they were they held him to like

936
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: three point six yards to carry. The problem was is

937
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 1: they get ahead and they consult the game away, right,

938
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 1: So they got to stop that first. Can't let him run,

939
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: and then you got to get after him and make

940
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 1: sure you're not just chasing, like chasing your tail, right.

941
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 1: You gotta keep him in the pocket, make them run

942
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: the play that's called, you know, don't let them improvise. Uh.

943
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: And because I think the secondary can cover, like Brian said,

944
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: if they're not busting coverage, right, and as long as

945
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 1: Jeff Heath is on the field, don't forget he got sacked.

946
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 1: Watson got sacked seven times. Last week, he got hit

947
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: eleven times. Yeah, there are opportunities to get to him.

948
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: And again if David Irving can be active in this

949
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: game and give me twelve snaps, and like Mickey I

950
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,240
Speaker 1: think Mickey said earlier week, play some clear passing downs,

951
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 1: get your best four rushers on the field. They've got

952
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,320
Speaker 1: players they can get to him in this game. But

953
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: beyond tank, and it needs to be more than tank.

954
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: Watson has one tough onmbre he is, He's real tough.

955
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: Last games I compared it to this is very much

956
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,800
Speaker 1: to me a Washington redskin game. You know back in

957
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 1: the day when Kirk Cousins was playing, and it could

958
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 1: go either way, it could go okay, well, hey, what's

959
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: you know? He Watson's capable of throwing for four hundred yards.

960
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: He's also capable of losing the game throwing for four

961
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: hundred yards. That's true. I just I just how many

962
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: times have we played the Redskins and you just hold

963
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: your breath because Jamison Crowder made a play or or

964
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: you know, Pierre Garcon made a play, or you know,

965
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,280
Speaker 1: and you're just like going, oh god, last three games

966
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:10,240
Speaker 1: he's got he's averaged a round forty forty five yards rushing.

967
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,720
Speaker 1: Are those on designed runs or are those on scramped

968
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: That's a lot on him, on him just taking the

969
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 1: ball and going. And that's why where one of the

970
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: one of the better teams when it comes they haven't

971
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: rushed the ball with Lamar Miller as well him carrying

972
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 1: the ball where they got the rushing. It's a lot

973
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,839
Speaker 1: like with dak too. I mean, in fact, yeah, Docs

974
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,479
Speaker 1: and Impact two games has over four hundred yards total

975
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 1: offense come by and passing. See what happens with his yards.

976
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: It's not like how much he totals. It's when he

977
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 1: does it it breaks your back. Yeah, because hes key

978
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: times and he's bailing back to his college days. Yeah,

979
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: he's bailing him out. And he can throw the ball.

980
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: He's just one of these guys. It's gonna scatter around.

981
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: He can throw the ball down the field. So you

982
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: better not tell me a ten thirty Saturday night. You

983
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 1: come limping in with twenty points, you know it better

984
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: be twenty four twenty seven if you plan on winning. Yeah. Absolutely, Okay,

985
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 1: So it's prediction time. Micky, would you like to kick

986
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: us off? I'm gonna kick it off, and I'm gonna

987
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 1: take Michael Gallop. I'm gonna take until that guy ends

988
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: up making a difference in the game. And give me

989
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys twenty four twenty one, twenty one Cowboys or

990
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:22,720
Speaker 1: you think they're only gonna get twenty one points? Houston?

991
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 1: Did I did I missspeak? You said that you need

992
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 1: to score twenty twenty seven to win. I got twenty four, alright,

993
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:36,439
Speaker 1: twenty one? All right? Kybe Fairbaron is going to miss

994
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: four field goals. That's why they're only gonna you know what,

995
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: And Lamar Miller's been having problems with a chest chest injury, right,

996
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:48,280
Speaker 1: you know it? Maybe Alfred Blue. Yeah, let's hope, although

997
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 1: he kind of heard him in that preseason japneys. Yeah,

998
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 1: but no one played. Those guys are at home depot.

999
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:59,399
Speaker 1: Yeah right, okay, Rob Phillips, I'm going back and forth

1000
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 1: on this. I you know, at first, I thought, you know,

1001
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 1: I need to see the Cowboys do this on the

1002
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,359
Speaker 1: road before I pick them. But I do think there

1003
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: are matchups to exploit. I Brian did a great job

1004
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: of explaining a lot of those. I'll go twenty seven

1005
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: twenty six Cowboys, but I'm also counting on one of

1006
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 1: those touchdowns coming off of a short field that they

1007
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 1: actually can get an interception or some type of takeaway

1008
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: to help out Dak Prescott in the offense. They're the

1009
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: only team yet in the National Football League to not

1010
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 1: have an interception. Oh he wait till you see that columns. Yeah,

1011
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 1: this guy, this guy could throw you when too your

1012
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: pick pick to click. I think Zeke they found something

1013
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 1: in the running game. Brian's right, they got to get

1014
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: the passing game some balance there. But I think Zeke

1015
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: is capable of continuing what he did last week. Gay, Brian, Yeah,

1016
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: I'm going with the Texans in this game, and I

1017
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: feel like it's going to come down to Dak Prescott's

1018
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 1: inability to protect the football here, and I worry about

1019
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 1: things breaking down in the pocket. I worry about the committee,

1020
00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: even though that the Texans are pouring the secondary, if

1021
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,320
Speaker 1: it does turn into and I think the way the

1022
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:03,879
Speaker 1: Cowboys are going to have to win. And I could

1023
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,720
Speaker 1: be really really wrong about this. If the Cowboys protect,

1024
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: they can absolutely win this game. But I do worry

1025
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 1: about a clowney a watch something where they get a

1026
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 1: short field drive. This is how really the Texans. I

1027
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 1: know that they've only won, you know, the one game,

1028
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: but they're going to thrive on turnovers, and when Prescott

1029
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 1: turns the ball over, it's usually problems for the Cowboys.

1030
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 1: I do worry about it, and then this game because

1031
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,319
Speaker 1: I worry about him attack in the pocket. Texans twenty eight,

1032
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,360
Speaker 1: Cowboys twenty four. Well, I've gone back and forth on

1033
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 1: this because they've got not one but two guys, or

1034
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 1: maybe more than two. They can just direct the game

1035
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:37,320
Speaker 1: for you on one big play. This is the Washington

1036
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 1: game to me. This is the ability of them to

1037
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 1: throw the football for twenty yards and they can in

1038
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: the Texans can lose. As always when I pick against

1039
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, I hope I'm wrong, but I just feel

1040
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:50,399
Speaker 1: like there's gonna be a turnover two in this game.

1041
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 1: You're pick to click. I need Dak Prescott to play

1042
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 1: well in this game if if they're gonna win. And

1043
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm agreeing with Brian, and that's good news for Cowboys

1044
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:03,280
Speaker 1: fans because I belong i predictions. I'm picking thirty seventeen Texans,

1045
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: all right, and I'll wipe out and Tyrn Matthew is

1046
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: going to have a big game, I'm afraid, Okay, all right,

1047
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 1: because he's due. All right. That does it, and hopefully

1048
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: for you Longhorn fans, I will don this cap on

1049
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: Monday when we do Talking Cowboys. This has been a

1050
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 1: production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys

1051
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 1: Football Club.
