<v Speaker 1>he's got nothing on? Let me tell you this though.

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Right now Derek Eagleton is losing. Well, he's got Texas

<v Speaker 1>stuff on what that's why Derek Eagleton I brought the

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Texas long yeah, but he makes me feel even he's

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.400
<v Speaker 1>using that in here and not yeah yeah me to

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:46.479
<v Speaker 1>crush it. Did I miss a text message or any

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 1>man about this coordination? We've all kind of happen. It

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 1>just happened. Ye had a bunch of big games this week.

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:54.800
<v Speaker 1>You play who lsu got you gotta go to the

0:01:54.840 --> 0:02:00.120
<v Speaker 1>swamp Florida, Florida. Yeah, who's MISSOO got South Carolina in

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Columbia that's usually a blood bath. Columbia South Carolina, Yes,

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:09.079
<v Speaker 1>or Columbia Missouri Columbia South Carolina. I got a big question.

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>But I did bring you a gift, Rob. I thought

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.639
<v Speaker 1>that we should balance out the show since I've got

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>to know you, cap On and Rob, you can wear

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 1>the Texas Longhorn cap I refuse to do that, but

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.120
<v Speaker 1>since my boss is probably listening upstairs and he's a

0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:24.200
<v Speaker 1>proud Texas alum, I'll just say you'll wear its politely declined.

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.079
<v Speaker 1>Let him let him. I've said it next to me here,

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>and I'll make this valve right off the top close

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 1>to me. Okay, Okay, I'm gonna make this valve right

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:37.080
<v Speaker 1>off the top. Okay. If Texas wins on Saturday at

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>the Cotton Bowet, I will wear this Texas Longhorn cap.

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>That sounds like a man that's very confident that his

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 1>football team is gonna win. I'm not that confident. What

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 1>gives you that idea? I'm not that But we're gonna

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 1>find out if Tyler Murray is a first round draft

0:02:54.240 --> 0:03:00.240
<v Speaker 1>pick or not? On the Oak's right. Good? All right,

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>let's jump into the Cowboys. You want to please? Yeah,

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>let's do that, all right, go there, please to maybe

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>two teams that won't score fifty points in the game.

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.360
<v Speaker 1>You think that's your bold prediction? Yeah, neither one of

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>them will score fifty. What's the final score? Because, oh,

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 1>these teams are going to score fifty Okay, individually, not

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.799
<v Speaker 1>as an over under. All right, I got you? Yeah,

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm following along with me now, yeah I am, thank you.

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's go straight to the injury report from yesterday? How

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>about it? Who wants to fill us in on what

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>was an interesting injury report yesterday? Well, injury slash practice report,

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 1>because you got two defensive linemen that weren't here yesterday

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 1>for non injury reasons. David Irving, according to Jerry Jones,

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>he gets into one practice on Wednesday, his first practice

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 1>in almost a full calendar year, and then he's away

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>from the team yesterday excuse absence with family, family matters

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>that he's handling, and he was handling personal business all

0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>of preseason as well. And Randy Gregory another one of

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>these scheduled excused absences. A day off, it's not really

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 1>a day off. He's got to go to Chicago, fly

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>to the NFL offices up there and meet with them.

0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 1>And can they not do that on Tuesday when part

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>of his reinstatement process, Well, I got to do it

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of the week. Just kind of have

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 1>to be grateful that we have him now. I think

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 1>that's the main thing I'm drawing from this. It's probably

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:27.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna be something we have to do once a month,

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I think, Mickey, Yeah, Jason Garrett, it happened the night

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.480
<v Speaker 1>of the preseason finale. He wasn't there. It's just it's

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 1>every time, every time some former Texan in that front office.

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.599
<v Speaker 1>Maybe so, maybe so, No, I doubt that. Um, Jason

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Garrett said back then, this is probably gonna be a

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 1>regular occurrence. So yeah, Brian's it could be once a month,

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.119
<v Speaker 1>it could be I don't know what kind of notice

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 1>he gets ahead of time to go up and do this,

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.600
<v Speaker 1>but um, it's something you know, he's just gonna have

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.280
<v Speaker 1>to miss a practice here there. Yeah, why don't they

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 1>just come here? It's just just my too many questions.

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I think it's I think it's all about responsibility. I

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.559
<v Speaker 1>think it's all about, hey, are you capable of getting

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>on an airplane and come up here and sitting down

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.040
<v Speaker 1>with us? And I think they're honestly, I don't think

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.640
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to make this very convenient for him. I

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:21.760
<v Speaker 1>think they're I think they're testing him, and I think

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.359
<v Speaker 1>they're testing him all part of the test for yeah,

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.720
<v Speaker 1>for for everything, for if he can manage his life

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.520
<v Speaker 1>on the field off the field, and this is part

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 1>of it. If he's showing responsibility to get on an

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:36.120
<v Speaker 1>airplane once a month or whenever they call him up there,

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 1>then that's part of the test. And so you know it,

0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 1>as long as he could keep getting on that airplane

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.239
<v Speaker 1>and going up there and visiting, coming back and hopefully

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.040
<v Speaker 1>help you win a football game on Sunday, you know,

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.600
<v Speaker 1>then do whatever you have to do. But yeah, I

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 1>just don't feel like that they're gonna make They haven't

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.280
<v Speaker 1>made this very convenient for him. You think he has

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 1>to pay for his own flight. I was wondering that

0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>same thing. I probably does absolutely at the last minute. Well,

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.480
<v Speaker 1>they probably know, I mean, Okay's got to pay more.

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's let's say this is not available Southwest and

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Midway's not bad. Uh. You know the thing about it is,

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 1>he probably knows, Okay, every maybe there is maybe it's

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 1>a schedule thing. I'm sure the Cowboys know his plans

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 1>or what his what his obligations are to the league,

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 1>and so they probably said, you know, if he if

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>he's got to take a practice off every now and

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.840
<v Speaker 1>then to do this to be able to play, I'll

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.159
<v Speaker 1>walk him on my back. Yeah, I'll carry him on

0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 1>my back. If that's what it means all the way

0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 1>to Chicago. Why not Jerry allowed? You know what, I

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.479
<v Speaker 1>don't know. It's not like a recruiting violence. You know what.

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if that's against the salary cap? Oh there

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:53.600
<v Speaker 1>you go in providing providing transportation. Oh you think Yeah,

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 1>that might be. You know, someone would say, okay, well

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.080
<v Speaker 1>how much is the jet fuel? You know they would

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 1>they would use that as a cost get you suspended

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 1>in the NCAA, right for sure. It would be the

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:07.960
<v Speaker 1>one that The one that makes me curious is the

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 1>irving absence because look, I don't know if it's the

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 1>same thing personal that he had, you know, to take

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 1>care of in the off season. But he gets one

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.520
<v Speaker 1>practice in and now you've got a light practice Friday.

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 1>At least he got the practice in pads on Wednesday.

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.600
<v Speaker 1>But he is he ready? Is he? You know? Has

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 1>he been around enough? Is he involved enough in the

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 1>game plan to be able to help you for ten

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 1>or fifteen snaps on Sunday? I still assume. So we're

0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna find out Saturday. Yeah, we'll find out Saturday. But

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>you'd like to see him put in a full week,

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, as much time as he's missed. Which brings

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>up mystery number three. Terrence Williams. Who forgot about that one? Who? Yeah?

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.520
<v Speaker 1>What roster move did they make to make room for it?

0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 1>And the thing the irving The new thing yesterday, as

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 1>far as the practice report goes, is a foot injury

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.640
<v Speaker 1>of course, he had the foot surgery in the off season,

0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:06.040
<v Speaker 1>and now they list foot as of the one of

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>the reasons. Well, he would he had missed for non

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:13.360
<v Speaker 1>injury reasons Friday and Wednesday, and then yesterday it was

0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 1>a foot issue that to put him on the report. Yeah,

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, with Terrence, I personally think that they're I

0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know, Mickey, We've all talked about this, and you know,

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.200
<v Speaker 1>again you do a great job of getting walking around

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>the hall and kind of vision with people. I'm just

0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 1>getting the impression that they're going to do something with

0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Travis Frederick, you know, I don't. I think that they're

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:38.679
<v Speaker 1>going to try and get Williams healthy and and you know,

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 1>let's also remember there's potentially that suspension thing. We kind

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 1>of kind of put that. Yeah, and you know, in

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 1>not this week, next week. I mean, that's kind of

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>hanging over their heads right now. So so you think

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 1>because of that, they're not investing too much time yeah, him, Yeah,

0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I do, okay, And I think that I think that

0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 1>I think the foot injury is a legitimate thing. I

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.080
<v Speaker 1>absolutely do think. I mean it's something that's they're they're

0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 1>working through. Terrence, you know, is an extremely tough guy.

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:11.040
<v Speaker 1>So we'll we'll see how that goes. But I'm getting

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:14.240
<v Speaker 1>the vibe that that they're gonna do something with Travis Frederick.

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:17.600
<v Speaker 1>How how do you before Travis? How does it work

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 1>as far as Terrence Williams. Let's say if Terrence Williams

0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the foot injury was to the point where they wanted

0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:26.239
<v Speaker 1>to I r him. Yeah, if he had a suspension

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 1>of two to four games, that can yeah, yeah, you

0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.440
<v Speaker 1>have to be on the active roster. So I think

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.360
<v Speaker 1>what they're trying to do is see, you know, carry

0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.719
<v Speaker 1>him on the team and you know, but he is

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 1>dealing with the foot, and so we'll see how that

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.520
<v Speaker 1>all plays. But I just I just get the feeling

0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:50.440
<v Speaker 1>that and it's it's not that things haven't progressed for

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.280
<v Speaker 1>for Frederick. I just don't think that they're to the

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:57.280
<v Speaker 1>point where they can they can say, Okay, in five weeks,

0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 1>he's going to be back. And I talked with Travis

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 1>on Tuesday, right, and UM asked him about the progress

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.439
<v Speaker 1>he's making, and he's, you know, he's lifting weights probably

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 1>four times a week, right, but he's and as he

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:15.040
<v Speaker 1>indicated that he's from a strength standpoint, he is at

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:16.920
<v Speaker 1>the point where he would be at the outset of

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 1>a of a off season program basically, right, and so,

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 1>which is not a good indication, right right, And it's

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 1>andy the nerves have to come back to life, yes,

0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 1>and so that's what they're waiting. There are certain benchmarks

0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:36.280
<v Speaker 1>from that standpoint dealing with me. He obviously he obviously

0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.439
<v Speaker 1>lost a lot of strength, you know in this If

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>he's just at the level of what you're saying, then

0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.679
<v Speaker 1>and then and he and he nobody works harder than him.

0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we've got a lot of guys that work

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 1>hard in that weight room. But if he's at that

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.679
<v Speaker 1>level and get him ready for an NFL season, his

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.240
<v Speaker 1>work is extensive. And if you do the math, you

0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:57.760
<v Speaker 1>know week seventeen, it's week five, all right, you have

0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.079
<v Speaker 1>to count in eight weeks. So you know, if you

0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 1>go another month here and it's still not a position

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.560
<v Speaker 1>where he's ready to play football, then he spends eight

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:06.839
<v Speaker 1>weeks on I R. It's gonna be the rest of

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 1>the season anyway, minus a potential playoffs, right, Well, Okay,

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 1>so it would be if if he went on now right,

0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.240
<v Speaker 1>eight weeks a week for when he goes he could

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.080
<v Speaker 1>be back for he's got a buye week. That's that's

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.200
<v Speaker 1>one game, could be back for the last three or

0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.320
<v Speaker 1>three games or so, I mean if he's still possible along. Yeah,

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:28.440
<v Speaker 1>and so that would be the incentive for a run. Yeah,

0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 1>if you can get in and on a run, that

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.240
<v Speaker 1>that's the thing. But you know he's at least you

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.880
<v Speaker 1>at least you've saved yourself that they they've got some

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.680
<v Speaker 1>some things they're having to do with Williams, and that's

0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.960
<v Speaker 1>that's okay. Every team deals with that. But you know

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 1>that that to me, right there is if you want

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 1>to make sure you take care of things with Williams,

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and do the thing with Travis Frederick. Joe

0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Looney's playing well well, I mean I'm not going to

0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.559
<v Speaker 1>act like that. Joe Looney is Travis Frederick. But I'm

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.319
<v Speaker 1>saying Joe Looney has not been a liability with this

0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:02.280
<v Speaker 1>with this offensive line. So I are both guys. I

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.920
<v Speaker 1>mean you could, yeah, you get the spot. Yeah, I

0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:08.240
<v Speaker 1>mean if you. I mean Rob was talking about the

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 1>math on Frederick. I think they won this week five right,

0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 1>and these weeks he's not ready to play next week

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.200
<v Speaker 1>by any means, And he's not ready to play the

0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:21.320
<v Speaker 1>next week. So that's seven. The buye is eight. I

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.960
<v Speaker 1>don't think in three. I mean, and then you're looking

0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.920
<v Speaker 1>and then and once you get into November, you got

0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Thursday game, right, you know, and so the weeks come

0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.240
<v Speaker 1>even faster. Right, in fact, you got back to back

0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Thursday games that take you basically, he would be through

0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:39.199
<v Speaker 1>the exactly. And if you just do the eye test

0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.760
<v Speaker 1>on him, don't you think he's lost some weight? He has, Yeah,

0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.360
<v Speaker 1>he has, and and and and the way he described

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.480
<v Speaker 1>it to Bill Build it a nice job of asking

0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:49.600
<v Speaker 1>him the right questions. He gave him a good answer.

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:53.080
<v Speaker 1>He's at that level of Okay, I'm just now gonna start.

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.480
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, what's an offseason program? They it's

0:12:56.480 --> 0:13:00.320
<v Speaker 1>a two month, three month operation for these guys. And

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 1>that's with Travis Frederick probably lifting four days a week,

0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, and so and so I would look at it.

0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.839
<v Speaker 1>If they make this decision, I would look at it.

0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:14.800
<v Speaker 1>It's not a setback in his rehab program to come

0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 1>back from this. It's you know, basically he's probably looking

0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:20.760
<v Speaker 1>at that length of time anyway right now, especially when

0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:24.640
<v Speaker 1>you look at the schedule going forward and it's you know,

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.800
<v Speaker 1>your they but if you're two months away from being

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:30.200
<v Speaker 1>ready to best case scenario, then they were dealt a

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 1>poor hand, and they were hoping to draw an inside

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.439
<v Speaker 1>straight off a poor hand. You know, they were trying.

0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.560
<v Speaker 1>They were trying to see what cards would come up,

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.680
<v Speaker 1>you know. And I hate to make a poker analogy

0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.839
<v Speaker 1>about a man's health, but in actually that's what they're doing.

0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:46.520
<v Speaker 1>They're saying, hey, we're gonna keep him on active just

0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 1>in case something turns the right way. Yeah, and now,

0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.280
<v Speaker 1>and and we all knew this was gonna come. I mean,

0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, I might gonna put words in your guy's mouth.

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I had a feeling they were going to have to

0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 1>look at his roster spot at some point in time

0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.679
<v Speaker 1>during the season and say, okay, if he's not if

0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.839
<v Speaker 1>he's making progress, how much progress is he making enough

0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:07.760
<v Speaker 1>progress for me to say, Okay, I'm not gonna worry

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 1>about him, or do I am I gonna is it?

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Just okay? In eight weeks time, he might be even better.

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, I need this roster spot now, so why

0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 1>not put him on the injured reserve and use the

0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 1>roster best. I mean, one positive about this from a

0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 1>quality you said, health just a quality of life standpoint.

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.040
<v Speaker 1>They were even having this conversation like, oh when could

0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.400
<v Speaker 1>he be back? They caught it early apparently. So the

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:31.640
<v Speaker 1>fact that he's able to even lift weight's work out,

0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 1>do what he's doing on his own, it speaks good

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:38.280
<v Speaker 1>for his speaks well to his prospects long term. But yeah,

0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 1>like Bill said, you can't You really can't put a

0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 1>guess on this right, not at all. And that's part

0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 1>of the reason why, you know, you do the math

0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.800
<v Speaker 1>with IR. You know, at some point you gotta think, Okay,

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:51.760
<v Speaker 1>eight weeks out, when could probably be read? Maybe Yeah,

0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. They didn't make this bet because they

0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:59.760
<v Speaker 1>were so optimistic medically right. They made this bet because

0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:03.120
<v Speaker 1>he he's so good it was worth taking the chance,

0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.840
<v Speaker 1>no question. This was just a run of the mill

0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.680
<v Speaker 1>center could have been on IR, no question. So the

0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:11.160
<v Speaker 1>bet they were making is, gosh, he's so good. Let's

0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.400
<v Speaker 1>just it's worth the chance because that fifty third guy

0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 1>on my roster's probably not helping me out. He's not playing.

0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:21.800
<v Speaker 1>She's a he's a practice squad guy basically, And so

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 1>now they're looking at it and they're going, okay, we're

0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, he was out that. Now, yesterday was the

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 1>first day I've seen him out on the chords. Now

0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 1>he could be doing that, and I don't know if

0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:33.880
<v Speaker 1>it was one of those tests let's see how much

0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.600
<v Speaker 1>he can do or and if he does get down,

0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:38.640
<v Speaker 1>does he get war down? And you can't do it?

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 1>And he just he doesn't look like he's three weeks

0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:46.080
<v Speaker 1>away from playing football to meet Well said Nikki. Well said,

0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 1>And if if you made the move now, he would

0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:54.600
<v Speaker 1>basically bet they've got between They play their last game

0:15:54.800 --> 0:16:01.440
<v Speaker 1>in November on Thursday, the same right, and so he

0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:04.440
<v Speaker 1>would be eligible the last basically for the whole month

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.720
<v Speaker 1>of December. There you go. And so in that first

0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 1>game in December is Sunday, December ninth, right against the Eagles.

0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:13.920
<v Speaker 1>That's ten more days, right exactly. Yeah, So yeah, I mean,

0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.000
<v Speaker 1>if you're so, if you're doing if you're looking at

0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the calendar, looking at the math on this thing, these

0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:22.960
<v Speaker 1>these games are coming. I mean we're already the week five. Yeah,

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.400
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna be to week thirteen. Before I told you.

0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.240
<v Speaker 1>You wake up one day and you look at your team,

0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.840
<v Speaker 1>you go, wait, we're in week twelve. Okay, Yeah, you know,

0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's that's whay it is. There's no waiting

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Week fourteen is December ninth, and you've got four games

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:40.120
<v Speaker 1>left at that point. So yeah, either he comes off

0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:43.160
<v Speaker 1>that or he stays on. There's no no, you don't

0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.680
<v Speaker 1>don't have to make a decision, but right now he

0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:51.000
<v Speaker 1>his spot is just because of the way it is

0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.520
<v Speaker 1>right now with the situation is keeping you from adding

0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:55.920
<v Speaker 1>a player that you can use for the game. Now,

0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.200
<v Speaker 1>what are the rules on I are as far as

0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:03.560
<v Speaker 1>you can, you can he keeps a PUP right, Okay? Yeah.

0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.359
<v Speaker 1>The difference is on ir he would be eligible to

0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:09.680
<v Speaker 1>come back whenever it isn't there. If you're placed on PUP,

0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 1>you're not eligible until he's got eight weeks. He's got

0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:15.040
<v Speaker 1>eight weeks. Yeah, you can start full week, but he

0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:18.040
<v Speaker 1>could start practicing after six or six weeks. Yeah. No,

0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:21.119
<v Speaker 1>But what I'm saying, is there a deadline on the

0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.239
<v Speaker 1>opposite side of that that you have to activate. Now?

0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:28.159
<v Speaker 1>Is that the case with PUP where there's a yes, Yes,

0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.840
<v Speaker 1>you're right, that's the difference. You can draw pop out

0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:33.640
<v Speaker 1>for almost twelve weeks, yeah, before you have to make

0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:37.359
<v Speaker 1>a final decision. This one, you just can't get back

0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:39.960
<v Speaker 1>before eight, but you can come back anytime after and

0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.360
<v Speaker 1>you only can do it for what two players now

0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:46.800
<v Speaker 1>two players, right, it's two players? Yeah? So um. And

0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:50.320
<v Speaker 1>that's the other reason why you would wait until now,

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:52.879
<v Speaker 1>because you don't know what injuries are going to happen

0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:54.800
<v Speaker 1>in the first month of the season. So if you

0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:58.040
<v Speaker 1>used up one of those spots on Travis Frederick when

0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.440
<v Speaker 1>you made the roster cutdown, and then you had two

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:03.919
<v Speaker 1>more injuries whatever, right now you have a better feel

0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:08.359
<v Speaker 1>as far as your whole roster if you have you know,

0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.439
<v Speaker 1>long range injuries or not. And now you got that

0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:16.560
<v Speaker 1>spot available that okay, yeah, unfortunately carried Daytone Jones yep

0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:19.680
<v Speaker 1>for and then what's happened? He comes back. The week

0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:21.720
<v Speaker 1>he comes back, he gets hurt again and it goes

0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:24.119
<v Speaker 1>on ir. Now they put him on straight R R.

0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:29.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to remember they did, Okay, they there's no difference. Well, yeah,

0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.440
<v Speaker 1>after after the I mean you could release him rojured

0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:35.680
<v Speaker 1>and then he reverted to your eye, right, I would

0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:38.959
<v Speaker 1>they do? Right? So, and then the other decision they

0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:42.040
<v Speaker 1>can make after eight weeks. So after the bye, Noah Brown,

0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:44.240
<v Speaker 1>if you need a wide receiver, yeah, he would be

0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:47.320
<v Speaker 1>eligible too. Right, But what's not of numbers this year?

0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:51.720

0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah watch out. Oh yeah they're afraid. Yeah, it was

0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:27.720
<v Speaker 1>a good It was a good afraid. It was a

0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:30.679
<v Speaker 1>very good financially. It was a good move from an

0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:36.040
<v Speaker 1>exposure standpoint. It was a good move and it and

0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:41.480
<v Speaker 1>it forced them to uh improve their facilities, which I

0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:42.959
<v Speaker 1>don't know if they would have done that if they

0:22:43.040 --> 0:22:44.960
<v Speaker 1>stayed in the Big twelve because they kept going to

0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:47.960
<v Speaker 1>the Big twelve championship game. The Big twelves probably can

0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:50.240
<v Speaker 1>get glad they're out of there. Yeah, I know we are.

0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:55.600

0:22:55.600 --> 0:22:58.680
<v Speaker 1>think that was it. At a halftime in that championship

0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:01.840
<v Speaker 1>game thirteen thirteen, what was the final Well, they got

0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:06.919

0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:08.680
<v Speaker 1>to Ohio and Brandon you are on talking cowboys. A

0:24:08.840 --> 0:24:11.720
<v Speaker 1>good morning, guys. I'm gonna custy good point here. So

0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I've heard a lot recently about the passing an aquarium

0:24:17.119 --> 0:24:23.359
<v Speaker 1>Brandon question, whether or not they need number a true

0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:28.480
<v Speaker 1>number one receiver. Yeah, and personally watching the telesion years,

0:24:28.480 --> 0:24:32.880
<v Speaker 1>I've seen that the best times a year. He literally

0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:36.200
<v Speaker 1>five years much of a morning one receiver obviously was

0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:38.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of but he really spared the ball around a lot.

0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:45.400
<v Speaker 1>I think that. Okay, okay, we appreciate it. Let's talk

0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:47.879
<v Speaker 1>about the pass offense. Yeah, he was. He was the

0:24:48.000 --> 0:24:49.879
<v Speaker 1>one question I did hear about those you feel like

0:24:49.920 --> 0:24:52.320
<v Speaker 1>they need a number one receiver? This is something you

0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:55.399
<v Speaker 1>and I debated in training camp. Yeah, you know, and

0:24:56.240 --> 0:24:58.920
<v Speaker 1>is it? Is it the right way? You know, we'll

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:01.520
<v Speaker 1>see this weekend. But what we'll know, we'll see this

0:25:01.640 --> 0:25:05.879
<v Speaker 1>weekend if the committee can do some good things. My

0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:08.480
<v Speaker 1>answer was yes, what was your answer? Yes, I think

0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:12.320
<v Speaker 1>you debated with somebody else, but I think I was

0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:14.159
<v Speaker 1>somebody else. It might have been somebody on a on

0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:16.879
<v Speaker 1>a on another show. But yeah, I know it's got

0:25:16.920 --> 0:25:21.040
<v Speaker 1>the nerve to debate them, is me right? That's true.

0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:28.480
<v Speaker 1>The thing The thing is, though, this weekend is great

0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:33.040
<v Speaker 1>pass rush, poor secondary. Right, Let's see what happens if,

0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:36.040
<v Speaker 1>if in fact that they can protect let's see if

0:25:36.080 --> 0:25:39.719
<v Speaker 1>the committee can come up with some place. I personally

0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:42.360
<v Speaker 1>think that they're gonna have to. I think they're gonna

0:25:42.400 --> 0:25:44.120
<v Speaker 1>have to throw the football in this game. I don't

0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:46.760
<v Speaker 1>think they can live by the run. I really really don't.

0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:49.879
<v Speaker 1>And and and I think it's going to be imperative

0:25:49.920 --> 0:25:51.760
<v Speaker 1>for them to be able to throw the football. And

0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:54.880
<v Speaker 1>we'll see that if this team did have a guy

0:25:55.000 --> 0:25:57.359
<v Speaker 1>that can hang their hat on or two, well, I

0:25:57.480 --> 0:26:01.080
<v Speaker 1>feel so much better about playing this team. Yes, but no,

0:26:01.480 --> 0:26:04.399
<v Speaker 1>let's let's see if they're bad in the secondary. They

0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:06.880
<v Speaker 1>give up plays, they give up big plays. Let's see

0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:10.359
<v Speaker 1>if they could protect and take advantage of a bad secondary.

0:26:10.720 --> 0:26:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I've got a random question. Has a committee ever worked

0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:20.440
<v Speaker 1>in anything from a government social socialism, from from a

0:26:20.520 --> 0:26:25.600
<v Speaker 1>governmental standpole, pin by committee, wide receiver by committee, NCAA,

0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:29.440
<v Speaker 1>selection committees, as it ever worked? Oh, now you're talking

0:26:29.560 --> 0:26:32.359
<v Speaker 1>my language there. On the quarterback committee, usually if you

0:26:32.440 --> 0:26:35.959
<v Speaker 1>got three quarterbacks, you don't have one. Um So if

0:26:36.000 --> 0:26:39.000
<v Speaker 1>you had nine wide receivers, do you have one? Running back?

0:26:39.040 --> 0:26:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Committee's work. That's pretty much the vogue now in vogue

0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:45.240
<v Speaker 1>now other than this team. It works pretty well on

0:26:45.320 --> 0:26:49.159
<v Speaker 1>this team. Yeah, I am encouraged by the fact that

0:26:49.280 --> 0:26:52.640
<v Speaker 1>they had more explosive plays last week. They got three

0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:54.720
<v Speaker 1>pass plays of over thirty yards in the game. They

0:26:54.760 --> 0:26:56.560
<v Speaker 1>were able. They're gonna need They're gonna need five in

0:26:56.640 --> 0:26:59.720
<v Speaker 1>this game. Yeah, they're gonna need some big plays, especially

0:26:59.800 --> 0:27:03.119
<v Speaker 1>if they're not getting takeaways defensively to get short fields with.

0:27:03.160 --> 0:27:05.159
<v Speaker 1>They're got to get starting plays. They have got to

0:27:05.240 --> 0:27:08.040
<v Speaker 1>start scoring some points. They have got to start scoring

0:27:08.080 --> 0:27:10.600
<v Speaker 1>some points. They they're gonna about to play some teams

0:27:11.160 --> 0:27:13.879
<v Speaker 1>that that are you know, are going to score some points.

0:27:14.119 --> 0:27:18.280
<v Speaker 1>They narrowed the committee last week. Hearns had forty seven

0:27:18.440 --> 0:27:23.560
<v Speaker 1>of sixty nine snaps, Gallup had forty, and Beasley had

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:25.960
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight. There you go, and then it dropped off

0:27:26.040 --> 0:27:31.480
<v Speaker 1>to Thompson with twenty nine in Austin with seventeen. So

0:27:31.640 --> 0:27:35.040
<v Speaker 1>the committee got a little bit smaller because Bryce Butler

0:27:35.600 --> 0:27:37.840
<v Speaker 1>did not play, So that's ten snaps you might have

0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:42.760
<v Speaker 1>given the terrence. They went dispersed to others. So I

0:27:42.800 --> 0:27:44.480
<v Speaker 1>think Rico got more snaps in the game, didn't He

0:27:45.160 --> 0:27:47.840
<v Speaker 1>as opposed the last week, didn't want to stop only

0:27:47.920 --> 0:27:52.399
<v Speaker 1>because of the three the three wide receiver set, I

0:27:52.440 --> 0:27:56.760
<v Speaker 1>mean three tight ends. He got ten snaps. Okay, let's

0:27:56.800 --> 0:27:59.800
<v Speaker 1>go to Maryland, a team that knocked off the Texas

0:27:59.880 --> 0:28:06.960
<v Speaker 1>long Horns in the season opener. Sean Hello, Sean, Hey, guys,

0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I love your show. I was listening to your show

0:28:09.960 --> 0:28:14.080
<v Speaker 1>yesterday and Brian said that if you're going to point fingers,

0:28:14.160 --> 0:28:17.280
<v Speaker 1>both point to the low hanging fruits of the head

0:28:17.320 --> 0:28:21.640
<v Speaker 1>coach and offensive coordinator. Sure not, but at the same time,

0:28:21.720 --> 0:28:25.080
<v Speaker 1>everyone is pointing fingers in different directions. You know it's

0:28:25.119 --> 0:28:27.920
<v Speaker 1>the head coach just to play callings. The offensive line

0:28:28.040 --> 0:28:30.440
<v Speaker 1>isn't as good, right, you don't have any two wide

0:28:30.480 --> 0:28:33.600
<v Speaker 1>receivers or tight end right, So I'm going to point

0:28:33.640 --> 0:28:38.240
<v Speaker 1>a finger too. If this position actually play better, it

0:28:38.320 --> 0:28:41.800
<v Speaker 1>would make the whole team better. And that's the quarterback position. Okay,

0:28:42.400 --> 0:28:45.120
<v Speaker 1>I think a good quarterback will put a deodorant on

0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:48.040
<v Speaker 1>the whole team. He'd make a play calling and the

0:28:48.160 --> 0:28:51.280
<v Speaker 1>head coach look better. He's the offensive lying a feller

0:28:51.440 --> 0:28:54.520
<v Speaker 1>like Tony Rolo did most of his career. Sure, he

0:28:54.680 --> 0:28:57.440
<v Speaker 1>makes a running back better because the defense wouldn't attack

0:28:57.480 --> 0:29:00.520
<v Speaker 1>the box all the time. He'd make the wilde receivers

0:29:00.560 --> 0:29:03.520
<v Speaker 1>and tight ends better. Jason witt Is going to the

0:29:03.600 --> 0:29:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Fame because of Romo and and Den Ryan

0:29:06.840 --> 0:29:10.600
<v Speaker 1>was a prow baller under him. Okay, I won't think

0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:14.800
<v Speaker 1>that it's a coincidence that Deaz and witness production dropped

0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:18.920
<v Speaker 1>off significantly under Dak Priscott. Okay, And finally, I think,

0:29:19.280 --> 0:29:23.240
<v Speaker 1>but to be mixed, the whole defense better because he's

0:29:23.280 --> 0:29:26.160
<v Speaker 1>able to extend drives and not go swing out all

0:29:26.200 --> 0:29:30.560
<v Speaker 1>the time. You don't think young more thing. Okay, if

0:29:30.600 --> 0:29:32.600
<v Speaker 1>it's first and tend and we get a holding call,

0:29:32.960 --> 0:29:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm about to have a harder tack because I know

0:29:36.000 --> 0:29:38.920
<v Speaker 1>we're in trouble. But under Tony first and twenty second

0:29:38.960 --> 0:29:41.360
<v Speaker 1>and twenty I didn't even blink an eye because I've

0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:44.880
<v Speaker 1>seen it time and time at comment over again and

0:29:45.640 --> 0:29:51.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, anyways, thanks guy, Okay, thank you. Sean in Maryland.

0:29:52.320 --> 0:29:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Sean makes some points. Obviously, a quarterback position is very important.

0:29:55.560 --> 0:29:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Dak Dak knew he needed to play better than he

0:29:58.240 --> 0:29:59.840
<v Speaker 1>had in the first three games. I think he played

0:29:59.840 --> 0:30:03.720
<v Speaker 1>for well last week. Made made some clutch plays on

0:30:03.800 --> 0:30:06.520
<v Speaker 1>that last drive to get you a victory. You know, yeah,

0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 1>not not not just the Zeke throw at the end,

0:30:09.920 --> 0:30:12.240
<v Speaker 1>but the fumble recovery that he had the presence of mind.

0:30:12.280 --> 0:30:14.880
<v Speaker 1>That was big. Absolutely. But I will say this, Uh,

0:30:15.440 --> 0:30:17.400
<v Speaker 1>if we're ranking who's gotten the most blame in the

0:30:17.480 --> 0:30:19.480
<v Speaker 1>first four weeks, I think Dak Prescott has been up

0:30:19.480 --> 0:30:23.600
<v Speaker 1>there pretty high. Yes, I mean I put him for

0:30:23.760 --> 0:30:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Dak Prescott and Jason Fruit fell off the tree. Yeah. Yeah.

0:30:27.600 --> 0:30:30.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's gotten a pass by any means. No,

0:30:30.360 --> 0:30:33.280
<v Speaker 1>not Jack Twitter, No, not at all, you know. And

0:30:34.000 --> 0:30:36.640
<v Speaker 1>I will say this, though, how many times we have

0:30:36.840 --> 0:30:40.479
<v Speaker 1>seen this quarterback makes some throws should have been rewarded

0:30:40.520 --> 0:30:43.000
<v Speaker 1>with a touchdown pass to Tavon Austin, that ball was

0:30:43.080 --> 0:30:46.560
<v Speaker 1>thrown perfectly, should have not given up an interception in

0:30:46.640 --> 0:30:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the Seattle game. That that that was thrown perfectly. There

0:30:50.480 --> 0:30:53.960
<v Speaker 1>is Dak Prescott perfect. No, absolutely not. And I understand

0:30:54.000 --> 0:30:56.880
<v Speaker 1>the gentleman's love for Tony Romo. I get it, Okay,

0:30:57.360 --> 0:30:59.320
<v Speaker 1>you know it sounds like to me, you were just

0:31:00.880 --> 0:31:02.560
<v Speaker 1>you're just kind of you know, you're you know, And

0:31:02.680 --> 0:31:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I get it. I get folks love for Romo out there,

0:31:05.360 --> 0:31:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I really do. But Tony Romo and Dak Prescott are

0:31:08.600 --> 0:31:11.640
<v Speaker 1>not the same player, right, They're not. Let's just quit

0:31:11.760 --> 0:31:14.520
<v Speaker 1>trying to compare, Oh, Romo would have done this and

0:31:15.400 --> 0:31:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Tony would have done that. They're different quarterbacks. Dak Prescott

0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:23.160
<v Speaker 1>is different from Tom Brady or Alex Smith or any

0:31:23.200 --> 0:31:26.280
<v Speaker 1>of these other quarterbacks playing in the league. Whatever you

0:31:26.400 --> 0:31:29.959
<v Speaker 1>need to do, find ways to help him along. If

0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:34.800
<v Speaker 1>it's wide receiver by committee, what great. If it's running

0:31:34.800 --> 0:31:39.719
<v Speaker 1>the football great. If it's better pass protection Mickey Spagnola, great.

0:31:40.080 --> 0:31:43.480
<v Speaker 1>But whatever you can do to help a quarterback succeed,

0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:47.800
<v Speaker 1>do that. Okay. Trying to conjure up the image of

0:31:47.920 --> 0:31:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Tony Romo showing up in your fantasy is fantasy. This

0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:56.160
<v Speaker 1>is what you are right now. Okay, figure it out,

0:31:56.840 --> 0:31:59.760
<v Speaker 1>figure out what you have to do to let him

0:31:59.800 --> 0:32:03.320
<v Speaker 1>have some success. We all act like that this quarterback

0:32:03.800 --> 0:32:08.120
<v Speaker 1>is no good kid. Was NFC Rookie of the Year,

0:32:08.400 --> 0:32:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Offensive Rookie of the Year just three years against best

0:32:11.560 --> 0:32:14.720
<v Speaker 1>seasoned by a rookie quarterback in NFL history. He figure

0:32:14.840 --> 0:32:17.800
<v Speaker 1>it out for him? Is he got faults? Yes? But

0:32:17.960 --> 0:32:20.880
<v Speaker 1>to sit there and act like that he is somebody

0:32:20.960 --> 0:32:25.000
<v Speaker 1>he's not is pure fantasy on your part. All right,

0:32:25.080 --> 0:32:27.360
<v Speaker 1>I've got and I'm not saying that Dak Prescott is

0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:31.680
<v Speaker 1>a Hall of Fame quarterback, he's not. But yeah, Terry

0:32:31.720 --> 0:32:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Bradshaw versus Dan Marino, who's a better quarterback if you

0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:41.440
<v Speaker 1>if you're saying throwing the football, just pure passing. Dan

0:32:41.560 --> 0:32:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Marino who had the better career, no doubt. But also

0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:47.880
<v Speaker 1>though they both play in an era where they didn't

0:32:47.920 --> 0:32:51.280
<v Speaker 1>have high turnover, Terry Bradshaw didn't have high turnover of

0:32:51.360 --> 0:32:54.040
<v Speaker 1>his roster okay at four ranks. Yeah, and he got

0:32:54.280 --> 0:32:56.960
<v Speaker 1>just the style of quarterback and so forth. Terry Bradshaw

0:32:57.080 --> 0:33:00.600
<v Speaker 1>is not considered when I look at his career is

0:33:00.680 --> 0:33:04.320
<v Speaker 1>one of the great passers. Bob Greasy, same type of guy.

0:33:04.600 --> 0:33:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, these guys that star Art Star exactly. He

0:33:08.520 --> 0:33:11.480
<v Speaker 1>was great. He was he was great, but he's but

0:33:11.720 --> 0:33:16.400
<v Speaker 1>says a bad guy. Packer was a packer absolutely, okay.

0:33:16.600 --> 0:33:20.000
<v Speaker 1>But my point is there are different there that just

0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:22.200
<v Speaker 1>happened to be in front all the time. There are

0:33:22.320 --> 0:33:25.959
<v Speaker 1>different types of quarterbacks. Yeah, Okay. In fact, you can

0:33:26.080 --> 0:33:29.360
<v Speaker 1>look at one that was great here, right. I was

0:33:29.400 --> 0:33:31.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna say, right, you can go Roger're also, but I

0:33:31.480 --> 0:33:34.200
<v Speaker 1>was gonna say Troy Aikman. Yeah, Troy Aikman could be

0:33:34.960 --> 0:33:38.040
<v Speaker 1>a great passer along the lines. I mean his accuracy

0:33:38.160 --> 0:33:43.560
<v Speaker 1>was whatever. But he played a different type game because

0:33:43.800 --> 0:33:46.400
<v Speaker 1>no question was what was suited for this team to win.

0:33:46.640 --> 0:33:49.360
<v Speaker 1>And the best thing that happened to Troy Aikman is

0:33:49.480 --> 0:33:54.040
<v Speaker 1>that preceding him was Steve Pelour and a broken down

0:33:54.200 --> 0:33:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Danny White. Yeah. Unfortunately for Danny White, he had to

0:33:57.040 --> 0:34:00.800
<v Speaker 1>take over for Starbuck. Yeah. And he never never even

0:34:00.880 --> 0:34:04.160
<v Speaker 1>though he tookowski for bart star Yeah three times, he

0:34:04.320 --> 0:34:07.000
<v Speaker 1>takes him to the NFC title game. Everybody forgets that,

0:34:07.360 --> 0:34:10.320
<v Speaker 1>including the people that give tours out. But there My

0:34:10.440 --> 0:34:13.120
<v Speaker 1>point is, there are different ways to skin this cat. Yeah.

0:34:13.239 --> 0:34:16.719
<v Speaker 1>And if what you got to determine on Prescott, we've

0:34:16.719 --> 0:34:18.920
<v Speaker 1>already saw it in his Rookie of the Year season

0:34:19.000 --> 0:34:21.799
<v Speaker 1>his first year, is that he can lead a team

0:34:21.840 --> 0:34:24.960
<v Speaker 1>to a thirteen and three record and capable Yeah, and

0:34:25.040 --> 0:34:27.640
<v Speaker 1>and and and and should have been rewarded for a

0:34:27.719 --> 0:34:29.640
<v Speaker 1>playoff win. If they find a way to keep in

0:34:29.719 --> 0:34:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Fame quarterback from converting on thirty nineteen, I

0:34:32.920 --> 0:34:35.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know what's wrong with needing help around you if

0:34:35.080 --> 0:34:37.120
<v Speaker 1>you're a quarterback. I don't think some of that. His

0:34:37.239 --> 0:34:40.440
<v Speaker 1>franchise has been spoiled by great quarterback play. Hall of

0:34:40.480 --> 0:34:43.920
<v Speaker 1>fame quarterback, great players around the quarterbay players around them too.

0:34:44.200 --> 0:34:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Ask Troy Aikman what happened when they ran out of

0:34:46.600 --> 0:34:49.760
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver? Oh? I live that, Nick asking what happened

0:34:49.880 --> 0:34:53.160
<v Speaker 1>when Michael Irvin we did when we didn't protect him anymore?

0:34:53.239 --> 0:34:55.160
<v Speaker 1>That's a great point. I mean, what happened to him

0:34:55.160 --> 0:34:57.120
<v Speaker 1>in the latter half of his career and then they

0:34:57.239 --> 0:34:59.040
<v Speaker 1>got him killed and then they boot him off the

0:34:59.160 --> 0:35:02.399
<v Speaker 1>field in in two thousand, you're saying the worst part

0:35:02.520 --> 0:35:05.120
<v Speaker 1>for Dak is that he's been he's behind, he had

0:35:05.160 --> 0:35:07.279
<v Speaker 1>to come behind Romo. And how many fans I'm not

0:35:07.360 --> 0:35:09.560
<v Speaker 1>saying Sean who just called, is how many fans that

0:35:09.680 --> 0:35:13.319
<v Speaker 1>we got just the vitriol on Tony Romo? How many

0:35:13.360 --> 0:35:16.040
<v Speaker 1>fans wanted Tony Romo in a ditch a couple of years,

0:35:16.200 --> 0:35:19.400
<v Speaker 1>No question it. It makes me mad, actually, some of

0:35:19.480 --> 0:35:22.160
<v Speaker 1>the stuff we get from people, where's Tony? Why can't

0:35:22.600 --> 0:35:24.640
<v Speaker 1>What do you think about Tony three years ago? What

0:35:24.760 --> 0:35:26.719
<v Speaker 1>were you saying about Tony Romo? Back then? He got

0:35:26.880 --> 0:35:31.640
<v Speaker 1>more crap from fans that I've ever seen, couldn't ever seen. Yeah, sorry,

0:35:31.800 --> 0:35:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I just you know, go play. They always they always

0:35:34.040 --> 0:35:38.440
<v Speaker 1>talk about his playoff record. Yeah, let's let's let's move on. Okay,

0:35:38.600 --> 0:35:41.719
<v Speaker 1>it is what you're right now. If you want to

0:35:41.840 --> 0:35:45.560
<v Speaker 1>tell me, hey, Okay, I don't agree with not having

0:35:45.600 --> 0:35:48.600
<v Speaker 1>a big time wide receiver. I really don't agree with

0:35:48.719 --> 0:35:52.719
<v Speaker 1>these tight ends. Okay. I really think though the right

0:35:52.880 --> 0:35:56.360
<v Speaker 1>tackle has regressed from what we saw last year, and

0:35:56.480 --> 0:36:00.600
<v Speaker 1>the left tackle might not be elite. Okay, But and

0:36:00.680 --> 0:36:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm missing my starting center. Okay, how can I help

0:36:03.560 --> 0:36:06.800
<v Speaker 1>my quarterback? That's where I'm trying to think, and I

0:36:06.960 --> 0:36:09.560
<v Speaker 1>say it, keeps saying this. The quarterback is not perfect.

0:36:09.800 --> 0:36:12.799
<v Speaker 1>He's not accurate all the time. He doesn't anticipate well

0:36:12.920 --> 0:36:16.800
<v Speaker 1>enough at times. But you'll figure out ways to help

0:36:16.920 --> 0:36:19.520
<v Speaker 1>him instead of saying, well, if we brought back Romo,

0:36:19.680 --> 0:36:21.920
<v Speaker 1>things would be different, right, I'm sure they would. He'd

0:36:21.920 --> 0:36:24.719
<v Speaker 1>be laying on his back out there and Brent Brown

0:36:24.800 --> 0:36:27.200
<v Speaker 1>would have a spatula getting him up off the field.

0:36:30.239 --> 0:36:34.040
<v Speaker 1>And you're right here and staff that brought Tony Romo here.

0:36:34.080 --> 0:36:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I know what you're saying. Okay, so nobody appreciates what

0:36:37.480 --> 0:36:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Romo did more. But let's stop living in fantasy land.

0:36:41.480 --> 0:36:43.920
<v Speaker 1>It's Dak Prescott's team now, and he has proven to

0:36:44.600 --> 0:36:46.840
<v Speaker 1>work or not. And this is the last time we

0:36:46.960 --> 0:36:49.080
<v Speaker 1>spend a segment on that question. If you guys what

0:36:49.200 --> 0:36:52.560
<v Speaker 1>we're doing next. We're diving into those Houston Texas and

0:36:52.880 --> 0:36:55.879
<v Speaker 1>figuring out what is gonna take for a Cowboy win

0:36:56.000 --> 0:36:59.040
<v Speaker 1>in the state championship game on Sunday night. If you're

0:36:59.080 --> 0:37:01.600
<v Speaker 1>like me and you love I mean, if you have

0:37:01.680 --> 0:37:04.640
<v Speaker 1>a high thing, then cutting the chord is scary. But

0:37:04.680 --> 0:37:06.320
<v Speaker 1>then I found out I could switch it to ACTV

0:37:35.080 --> 0:37:38.080
<v Speaker 1>why the Cowboys rely on more than stats and scouting

0:40:26.239 --> 0:40:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the way, I was out there on the Tostitos Championship

0:40:31.239 --> 0:40:35.279
<v Speaker 1>Plaza last night as we were at our live presentation

0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:39.319
<v Speaker 1>of Friday Night Stars, our high school football show which

0:40:39.360 --> 0:40:41.640
<v Speaker 1>previews the high school weekend in North Texas. It's a

0:40:41.719 --> 0:40:45.640
<v Speaker 1>partnership between the Cowboys and CBS eleven and t x

0:40:45.719 --> 0:40:49.040
<v Speaker 1>A twenty one. Lots of activity out there on the plaza,

0:40:49.440 --> 0:40:52.000
<v Speaker 1>and I was thinking, if I was coming from out

0:40:52.080 --> 0:40:55.239
<v Speaker 1>of town for the OU Texas game or for the

0:40:55.360 --> 0:40:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Texas OU game, I would stay at the Omni Frisco.

0:41:00.239 --> 0:41:02.560
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, it's a perfect place if you're coming

0:41:02.600 --> 0:41:04.400
<v Speaker 1>in from out of town. In fact, I think I

0:41:04.480 --> 0:41:07.320
<v Speaker 1>know Switzer staying there is he really said he was

0:41:07.360 --> 0:41:09.080
<v Speaker 1>on the radio yesterday. You know, they had the big

0:41:09.120 --> 0:41:11.920
<v Speaker 1>celebrity softball and he had a home run ballpark. I

0:41:11.920 --> 0:41:14.719
<v Speaker 1>don't think he played. Oh no, Matthew McConaughey had a

0:41:14.760 --> 0:41:17.279
<v Speaker 1>two run double though for Texas, which won the game.

0:41:18.200 --> 0:41:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Shower talking about the guy doesn't shower. But anyway, I

0:41:25.000 --> 0:41:29.160
<v Speaker 1>think that is the perfect place to enjoy a weekend

0:41:29.320 --> 0:41:31.719
<v Speaker 1>getaway too. If you're coming in from out of town,

0:41:31.800 --> 0:41:33.880
<v Speaker 1>coming in for a Cowboy game, stay out here at

0:41:33.920 --> 0:41:37.680
<v Speaker 1>the Star. So today is going to be a big

0:41:37.840 --> 0:41:40.400
<v Speaker 1>tour days. What's your suggestion? You know we have like

0:41:40.560 --> 0:41:42.279
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks ago, we had a bunch of

0:41:42.400 --> 0:41:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Buckeyes coming through. Yeah, when Ohio State was here for

0:41:45.520 --> 0:41:48.160
<v Speaker 1>the TCU game. I haven't seen him today. The Cowboys

0:41:48.200 --> 0:41:49.920
<v Speaker 1>don't have a home game. That might have something to

0:41:50.000 --> 0:41:53.319
<v Speaker 1>do with it. It's a good point, maybe so maybe

0:41:53.360 --> 0:41:57.520
<v Speaker 1>so all right on the road again, right, but it's

0:41:57.560 --> 0:41:59.839
<v Speaker 1>a short road trip down to Houston. And now let's

0:42:00.080 --> 0:42:03.279
<v Speaker 1>dive into this matchup the Cowboys versus the Texans. We

0:42:03.440 --> 0:42:07.080
<v Speaker 1>talked a lot about J. J. Watt, Daveon Clowney and

0:42:07.160 --> 0:42:10.040
<v Speaker 1>what the Cowboys need to do offensively to protect the

0:42:10.160 --> 0:42:13.399
<v Speaker 1>quarterback and get that run game established, and Brian You've

0:42:13.480 --> 0:42:16.960
<v Speaker 1>talked about a secondary for the Texans that can be

0:42:17.120 --> 0:42:19.840
<v Speaker 1>taken advantage. They can be taken advantage of, but you

0:42:19.960 --> 0:42:21.960
<v Speaker 1>got to be willing to do it. You have to

0:42:22.040 --> 0:42:24.359
<v Speaker 1>be willing to you know you can. You can get

0:42:24.440 --> 0:42:29.680
<v Speaker 1>open on these Texans cornerback safeties. You have a gambler

0:42:30.640 --> 0:42:33.600
<v Speaker 1>with Tyrn Matthew in the way that he plays, you

0:42:33.760 --> 0:42:36.040
<v Speaker 1>have to be aware of where he is on the field.

0:42:36.920 --> 0:42:40.719
<v Speaker 1>But Jonathan Joseph and uh Sharise Wright have shown me

0:42:40.840 --> 0:42:44.080
<v Speaker 1>they have no ability to cover. They don't And Aaron

0:42:44.160 --> 0:42:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Colvin has been banged up. Yea, so they've been struggling

0:42:47.800 --> 0:42:50.680
<v Speaker 1>at Sharie right will take it exactly. And that's you know,

0:42:50.719 --> 0:42:53.279
<v Speaker 1>and they've and we talked about the Lions had had

0:42:53.280 --> 0:42:55.319
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of some problems with the nickel. Well,

0:42:55.360 --> 0:42:56.960
<v Speaker 1>this team has had a little bit of problems with

0:42:57.000 --> 0:43:00.280
<v Speaker 1>their nickel as well. Justin Reid is a rookie, say

0:43:00.360 --> 0:43:02.960
<v Speaker 1>that they're having to play with right now. Kareem Jackson

0:43:03.040 --> 0:43:07.719
<v Speaker 1>has been banged up. If you can protect, if the

0:43:07.800 --> 0:43:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys could protect. And I think that I'm not just saying, hey,

0:43:11.640 --> 0:43:14.080
<v Speaker 1>bang your head and run the football. I love running

0:43:14.080 --> 0:43:16.320
<v Speaker 1>the football. Nobody loves running the football more than me.

0:43:17.000 --> 0:43:19.120
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think you could just bang your head

0:43:19.239 --> 0:43:21.520
<v Speaker 1>on early downs. I think you're gonna have to mix

0:43:21.640 --> 0:43:23.399
<v Speaker 1>this thing up. I think you're gonna have to take

0:43:23.480 --> 0:43:26.040
<v Speaker 1>some shots. If you have to max protect, if you

0:43:26.120 --> 0:43:28.879
<v Speaker 1>have to keep some twelve personnel tight ends in there

0:43:29.000 --> 0:43:31.239
<v Speaker 1>and kind of make these guys have to run through,

0:43:31.360 --> 0:43:34.120
<v Speaker 1>you go for it because you can win on the outside.

0:43:34.160 --> 0:43:36.719
<v Speaker 1>If the Cowboys don't win on the outside in this

0:43:36.920 --> 0:43:40.400
<v Speaker 1>game and complete passes, they won't score, and then they

0:43:40.440 --> 0:43:42.520
<v Speaker 1>won't win this game. And that's gonna be on them.

0:43:42.719 --> 0:43:45.719
<v Speaker 1>Can the Can the committee find a way to play

0:43:45.760 --> 0:43:49.440
<v Speaker 1>against a very poor textan secondary. All it takes is

0:43:49.480 --> 0:43:53.319
<v Speaker 1>one of those deep plays early. I think back off

0:43:53.840 --> 0:43:55.880
<v Speaker 1>three last week, I think you need I think you

0:43:56.000 --> 0:43:58.000
<v Speaker 1>need four or five. I think you're gonna need this

0:43:58.360 --> 0:44:02.719
<v Speaker 1>team even on third down gives up plays. I mean,

0:44:02.800 --> 0:44:05.279
<v Speaker 1>they are not a good You could throw the ball

0:44:05.320 --> 0:44:08.440
<v Speaker 1>in these guys and let's see, let's see if Connor

0:44:08.520 --> 0:44:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Williams can hold up. Let's see if Lyle Collins can

0:44:11.719 --> 0:44:14.319
<v Speaker 1>hold up. Let's see if Tyrn Smith can hold up.

0:44:14.600 --> 0:44:16.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, and here I'm saying that, but you know,

0:44:16.760 --> 0:44:18.640
<v Speaker 1>he played a lot better last week I thought too.

0:44:19.120 --> 0:44:21.480
<v Speaker 1>But they've got to hold up up front. Yep. If

0:44:21.480 --> 0:44:23.520
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna throw the ball and you know, and and

0:44:23.880 --> 0:44:26.719
<v Speaker 1>they need to get they need to It's it's classic

0:44:26.840 --> 0:44:28.839
<v Speaker 1>to say the balance and all that, But I think

0:44:28.920 --> 0:44:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the way you win this game last week I thought

0:44:31.480 --> 0:44:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought running the ball against the Lions was the

0:44:33.760 --> 0:44:35.880
<v Speaker 1>best way to win. The best way this week is

0:44:35.960 --> 0:44:39.280
<v Speaker 1>to throw the football against against the Texans. He matchup

0:44:39.320 --> 0:44:41.279
<v Speaker 1>for Lyle Collins. He's had a lot of those his

0:44:41.360 --> 0:44:43.080
<v Speaker 1>first year as a right tackles. They're gonna move the

0:44:43.160 --> 0:44:46.080
<v Speaker 1>clowney around. Get ready, he'll face what he'll face clowney

0:44:46.239 --> 0:44:49.120
<v Speaker 1>and you know he's played well against top rushers before.

0:44:49.400 --> 0:44:51.560
<v Speaker 1>So we'll see. Does it look like they play what

0:44:52.120 --> 0:44:54.800
<v Speaker 1>they're keeping him on the left side he had, But

0:44:54.960 --> 0:44:57.480
<v Speaker 1>what they're trying to do with what is with clowney.

0:44:57.520 --> 0:44:59.200
<v Speaker 1>They're doing what they used to do with what four

0:44:59.280 --> 0:45:01.520
<v Speaker 1>or five years ago before he got compromised with the

0:45:01.640 --> 0:45:03.400
<v Speaker 1>back and the things that he's had to deal with

0:45:03.960 --> 0:45:07.080
<v Speaker 1>throughout his career. He's still an effective player. You have

0:45:07.239 --> 0:45:10.160
<v Speaker 1>to be aware of him. Lyle Collins cannot get pushed

0:45:10.600 --> 0:45:13.840
<v Speaker 1>back in the pocket because I've said this before the

0:45:14.200 --> 0:45:16.960
<v Speaker 1>games I've watched. It seems like every time Watt gets

0:45:17.040 --> 0:45:19.440
<v Speaker 1>near the quarterback, he's slapping at the ball and it's

0:45:19.480 --> 0:45:22.240
<v Speaker 1>on the ground. So you gotta I mean, le Collins

0:45:22.360 --> 0:45:24.839
<v Speaker 1>is gonna have to keep him? Why keep him? Why

0:45:25.080 --> 0:45:28.279
<v Speaker 1>don't let him on that inside swim move? Beat you

0:45:28.360 --> 0:45:30.640
<v Speaker 1>to the middle in there? They're gonna have some problems

0:45:30.719 --> 0:45:33.759
<v Speaker 1>if that turns into something that happens regularly. You know.

0:45:33.840 --> 0:45:36.960
<v Speaker 1>We did a t telestrator segment with Will McClay for

0:45:37.000 --> 0:45:39.760
<v Speaker 1>the Jason Garrett Show, and he pointed out some plays

0:45:39.800 --> 0:45:42.680
<v Speaker 1>not only with Clowney, but also what in the run

0:45:42.800 --> 0:45:46.799
<v Speaker 1>game where he'll die Like if if arm over quick inside, Yeah,

0:45:47.360 --> 0:45:49.520
<v Speaker 1>he'll come from the backside and run the play down

0:45:49.600 --> 0:45:51.560
<v Speaker 1>him and run the play down too. So you gotta

0:45:51.880 --> 0:45:54.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, he still has he look appears to be healthy.

0:45:54.719 --> 0:45:56.840
<v Speaker 1>He's got five sacks the last couple of weeks and

0:45:57.160 --> 0:46:01.319
<v Speaker 1>forced fumbles too, and so you gotta account for him. Yeah,

0:46:01.960 --> 0:46:04.879
<v Speaker 1>because he's got he's got that quickness has come back,

0:46:05.160 --> 0:46:07.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah he has. He sounds like a lot of two

0:46:07.360 --> 0:46:10.799
<v Speaker 1>tight ends to me. Yeah, I think that I think

0:46:10.880 --> 0:46:12.640
<v Speaker 1>that you will. I think you're right about that. Make

0:46:12.719 --> 0:46:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I think you'll see some twelve personnel, but I also

0:46:15.560 --> 0:46:18.279
<v Speaker 1>like your idea about getting in eleven. I'm gonna make

0:46:18.320 --> 0:46:21.560
<v Speaker 1>these defensive backs have to play. You know, if Dak Prescott.

0:46:21.600 --> 0:46:24.120
<v Speaker 1>This will be a key test for Dak Prescott is

0:46:24.280 --> 0:46:26.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, can he hit some guys on the move

0:46:27.280 --> 0:46:31.440
<v Speaker 1>with some accuracy and let them make plays the Texans

0:46:31.480 --> 0:46:34.880
<v Speaker 1>will give If the Texans cover these receivers, I guarantee

0:46:34.920 --> 0:46:37.000
<v Speaker 1>of the Texans will win this football game. Look, they've

0:46:37.040 --> 0:46:40.279
<v Speaker 1>given up twenty seven to twenty twenty seven and thirty four, yeah,

0:46:40.560 --> 0:46:42.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, and they had to be ready to score

0:46:42.320 --> 0:46:47.120
<v Speaker 1>and only and only one really well, I mean the

0:46:47.239 --> 0:46:52.800
<v Speaker 1>last quarterback top notch right, So the Giants scored twenty

0:46:52.880 --> 0:46:57.359
<v Speaker 1>seven on him, yeah and won the game they did,

0:46:57.480 --> 0:46:59.919
<v Speaker 1>I know, Yeah, and they got twenty seven right, yeah,

0:47:00.239 --> 0:47:02.399
<v Speaker 1>so it was a twenty seven twenty game. Luck hung

0:47:02.480 --> 0:47:05.080
<v Speaker 1>some on him too, and shouldn't tie game if they

0:47:05.160 --> 0:47:07.480
<v Speaker 1>If they don't, I don't know why they went for so.

0:47:07.640 --> 0:47:09.920
<v Speaker 1>And if they go wide and those guys want to

0:47:10.040 --> 0:47:12.480
<v Speaker 1>rush like that, I mean, if they go three wide

0:47:12.600 --> 0:47:15.120
<v Speaker 1>they want to rush like that, then do they have

0:47:15.520 --> 0:47:20.759
<v Speaker 1>another linebacker that can run with Zeke? Yeah, they're gonna

0:47:20.800 --> 0:47:22.759
<v Speaker 1>have to be conscious of that. And if they want

0:47:22.800 --> 0:47:25.520
<v Speaker 1>to take a safety out of coverage, then those wide

0:47:25.560 --> 0:47:28.239
<v Speaker 1>receivers got to win on the Outside's going to get

0:47:28.280 --> 0:47:31.840
<v Speaker 1>one on one coverage yeast, And so the committee somebody

0:47:31.920 --> 0:47:35.680
<v Speaker 1>better step up. And I'm still saying at some point,

0:47:35.880 --> 0:47:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Michael Gallup is gonna emerge. It's time now. Did it

0:47:39.960 --> 0:47:44.359
<v Speaker 1>last week? That thirty seven yard catch early loosen things

0:47:44.440 --> 0:47:46.320
<v Speaker 1>up a little bit and they took more deep shots

0:47:46.360 --> 0:47:48.439
<v Speaker 1>in general down the field early in the game last

0:47:48.480 --> 0:47:49.920
<v Speaker 1>week and just said, look, all right, you're gonna have

0:47:49.920 --> 0:47:52.360
<v Speaker 1>to respect us here and that Hell, I think that

0:47:52.480 --> 0:47:55.160
<v Speaker 1>helps Zeke out, I really do. I just want to

0:47:55.160 --> 0:47:59.560
<v Speaker 1>do some more of that, just more opportunities for him. Okay,

0:47:59.680 --> 0:48:02.799
<v Speaker 1>flip it around in Deshaun Watson. What's gonna be the key?

0:48:02.960 --> 0:48:07.759
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be a problem for the Texans the first

0:48:07.800 --> 0:48:10.279
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks, going back and watching how they ran

0:48:10.360 --> 0:48:13.200
<v Speaker 1>the football with Lamar Miller were more effective than They've

0:48:13.239 --> 0:48:15.640
<v Speaker 1>had some problems with their offensive line. They've had to

0:48:15.680 --> 0:48:19.400
<v Speaker 1>do some shuffling with their offensive line. Davenport, the left tackle,

0:48:19.480 --> 0:48:22.240
<v Speaker 1>started against the Giants and the rookie rank and started

0:48:22.840 --> 0:48:25.960
<v Speaker 1>the next week. You know, in the game against the Colts,

0:48:26.520 --> 0:48:30.560
<v Speaker 1>the center Nick Martin has been banged up, Kelametti has

0:48:30.560 --> 0:48:34.840
<v Speaker 1>been banged up, the the guard. They've had some problems inside.

0:48:34.880 --> 0:48:37.360
<v Speaker 1>They have they don't have the continuity. They haven't been

0:48:37.400 --> 0:48:39.399
<v Speaker 1>able to really run the football the last couple of weeks.

0:48:39.719 --> 0:48:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Lamar Miller is very capable though a running the football

0:48:42.520 --> 0:48:44.600
<v Speaker 1>and they play. When you see it, it's gonna be

0:48:44.719 --> 0:48:48.000
<v Speaker 1>very much like when you watched Watson play at Clemson.

0:48:48.040 --> 0:48:51.960
<v Speaker 1>It's very much at Clemson offense with the shotgun, the snap,

0:48:52.239 --> 0:48:55.680
<v Speaker 1>the inside handoffs and let Lamar Miller kind of run

0:48:56.400 --> 0:48:59.279
<v Speaker 1>that way. Alfred Blue was a capable runner as well.

0:48:59.760 --> 0:49:02.200
<v Speaker 1>The Cowboys have been really, really good as stop in

0:49:02.280 --> 0:49:05.120
<v Speaker 1>the run. This is gonna be something if they I

0:49:05.200 --> 0:49:07.360
<v Speaker 1>think the Texans are gonna have to run the football.

0:49:07.360 --> 0:49:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I think the Texans are gonna try and run the football,

0:49:09.719 --> 0:49:11.640
<v Speaker 1>whether they can do it or not. If they have success,

0:49:11.840 --> 0:49:14.880
<v Speaker 1>run into football again. Problem for the Cowboys. What I

0:49:14.960 --> 0:49:18.280
<v Speaker 1>do worry about, though, is not so much the talent

0:49:18.360 --> 0:49:21.520
<v Speaker 1>in the Cowboys secondary. I worry about the mental mistakes

0:49:21.640 --> 0:49:23.480
<v Speaker 1>or busts that they might have. It seems like these

0:49:23.560 --> 0:49:26.319
<v Speaker 1>last few weeks when they've given up plays at least

0:49:26.320 --> 0:49:28.280
<v Speaker 1>the last two games, and they've given up big plays.

0:49:28.520 --> 0:49:31.160
<v Speaker 1>It's been because of a bust in the secondary. They

0:49:31.239 --> 0:49:35.160
<v Speaker 1>can't have a bust against Hopkins and Fuller and these

0:49:35.239 --> 0:49:38.440
<v Speaker 1>guys and Kutique because these guys will run all the

0:49:38.520 --> 0:49:40.600
<v Speaker 1>plays that we talked about kicking the ant hill and

0:49:40.680 --> 0:49:43.000
<v Speaker 1>the ants run everywhere. These guys are the same type

0:49:43.000 --> 0:49:47.239
<v Speaker 1>of players. Watson in the pocket can escape, he can run,

0:49:47.840 --> 0:49:50.160
<v Speaker 1>he can extend plays, and he will run to his

0:49:50.280 --> 0:49:52.560
<v Speaker 1>left and throw the ball sixty yards. They've given up

0:49:52.600 --> 0:49:56.359
<v Speaker 1>five passing touchdowns. Three of them would come on us,

0:49:57.560 --> 0:50:00.640
<v Speaker 1>and those three have come over the last two weeks.

0:50:00.920 --> 0:50:04.240
<v Speaker 1>So that cannot happen. The other thing that can't happen

0:50:04.680 --> 0:50:08.640
<v Speaker 1>is what happened early against cam Newton with him running

0:50:08.680 --> 0:50:11.520
<v Speaker 1>the ball, because everybody's so fired up to go get

0:50:11.600 --> 0:50:15.239
<v Speaker 1>a sack that you forget about stopping the run. Uh

0:50:15.400 --> 0:50:18.480
<v Speaker 1>and and I, you know, I figured out that the

0:50:19.080 --> 0:50:20.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, the other two games that were really good

0:50:20.840 --> 0:50:25.080
<v Speaker 1>against the run, the two games they weren't Seattle and Carolina. Well,

0:50:25.239 --> 0:50:29.160
<v Speaker 1>it also took them so many carries to gain that

0:50:29.360 --> 0:50:31.719
<v Speaker 1>many yards, right, they were they held him to like

0:50:31.880 --> 0:50:35.160
<v Speaker 1>three point six yards to carry. The problem was is

0:50:35.280 --> 0:50:37.920
<v Speaker 1>they get ahead and they consult the game away, right,

0:50:38.000 --> 0:50:41.319
<v Speaker 1>So they got to stop that first. Can't let him run,

0:50:41.960 --> 0:50:44.120
<v Speaker 1>and then you got to get after him and make

0:50:44.160 --> 0:50:47.600
<v Speaker 1>sure you're not just chasing, like chasing your tail, right.

0:50:47.680 --> 0:50:49.480
<v Speaker 1>You gotta keep him in the pocket, make them run

0:50:49.560 --> 0:50:53.120
<v Speaker 1>the play that's called, you know, don't let them improvise. Uh.

0:50:53.800 --> 0:50:57.520
<v Speaker 1>And because I think the secondary can cover, like Brian said,

0:50:57.560 --> 0:51:00.640
<v Speaker 1>if they're not busting coverage, right, and as long as

0:51:00.840 --> 0:51:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Heath is on the field, don't forget he got sacked.

0:51:05.160 --> 0:51:07.759
<v Speaker 1>Watson got sacked seven times. Last week, he got hit

0:51:07.800 --> 0:51:10.759
<v Speaker 1>eleven times. Yeah, there are opportunities to get to him.

0:51:11.239 --> 0:51:13.920
<v Speaker 1>And again if David Irving can be active in this

0:51:14.040 --> 0:51:17.640
<v Speaker 1>game and give me twelve snaps, and like Mickey I

0:51:17.680 --> 0:51:20.240
<v Speaker 1>think Mickey said earlier week, play some clear passing downs,

0:51:20.320 --> 0:51:23.279
<v Speaker 1>get your best four rushers on the field. They've got

0:51:23.520 --> 0:51:25.320
<v Speaker 1>players they can get to him in this game. But

0:51:25.520 --> 0:51:27.640
<v Speaker 1>beyond tank, and it needs to be more than tank.

0:51:29.360 --> 0:51:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Watson has one tough onmbre he is, He's real tough.

0:51:32.800 --> 0:51:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Last games I compared it to this is very much

0:51:37.680 --> 0:51:40.800
<v Speaker 1>to me a Washington redskin game. You know back in

0:51:40.880 --> 0:51:43.279
<v Speaker 1>the day when Kirk Cousins was playing, and it could

0:51:43.320 --> 0:51:46.319
<v Speaker 1>go either way, it could go okay, well, hey, what's

0:51:46.480 --> 0:51:50.000
<v Speaker 1>you know? He Watson's capable of throwing for four hundred yards.

0:51:50.040 --> 0:51:52.200
<v Speaker 1>He's also capable of losing the game throwing for four

0:51:52.280 --> 0:51:55.239
<v Speaker 1>hundred yards. That's true. I just I just how many

0:51:55.320 --> 0:51:58.120
<v Speaker 1>times have we played the Redskins and you just hold

0:51:58.160 --> 0:52:02.040
<v Speaker 1>your breath because Jamison Crowder made a play or or

0:52:02.480 --> 0:52:04.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, Pierre Garcon made a play, or you know,

0:52:04.800 --> 0:52:07.280
<v Speaker 1>and you're just like going, oh god, last three games

0:52:07.360 --> 0:52:10.240
<v Speaker 1>he's got he's averaged a round forty forty five yards rushing.

0:52:10.320 --> 0:52:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Are those on designed runs or are those on scramped

0:52:12.760 --> 0:52:14.640
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot on him, on him just taking the

0:52:14.680 --> 0:52:16.400
<v Speaker 1>ball and going. And that's why where one of the

0:52:16.560 --> 0:52:18.560
<v Speaker 1>one of the better teams when it comes they haven't

0:52:18.680 --> 0:52:21.600
<v Speaker 1>rushed the ball with Lamar Miller as well him carrying

0:52:21.640 --> 0:52:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the ball where they got the rushing. It's a lot

0:52:24.040 --> 0:52:26.839
<v Speaker 1>like with dak too. I mean, in fact, yeah, Docs

0:52:26.840 --> 0:52:29.479
<v Speaker 1>and Impact two games has over four hundred yards total

0:52:29.560 --> 0:52:32.920
<v Speaker 1>offense come by and passing. See what happens with his yards.

0:52:33.080 --> 0:52:36.080
<v Speaker 1>It's not like how much he totals. It's when he

0:52:36.200 --> 0:52:39.279
<v Speaker 1>does it it breaks your back. Yeah, because hes key

0:52:39.400 --> 0:52:41.920
<v Speaker 1>times and he's bailing back to his college days. Yeah,

0:52:42.000 --> 0:52:44.560
<v Speaker 1>he's bailing him out. And he can throw the ball.

0:52:44.640 --> 0:52:47.600
<v Speaker 1>He's just one of these guys. It's gonna scatter around.

0:52:48.040 --> 0:52:50.440
<v Speaker 1>He can throw the ball down the field. So you

0:52:50.560 --> 0:52:55.080
<v Speaker 1>better not tell me a ten thirty Saturday night. You

0:52:55.280 --> 0:52:59.120
<v Speaker 1>come limping in with twenty points, you know it better

0:52:59.200 --> 0:53:03.120
<v Speaker 1>be twenty four twenty seven if you plan on winning. Yeah. Absolutely, Okay,

0:53:03.440 --> 0:53:06.719
<v Speaker 1>So it's prediction time. Micky, would you like to kick

0:53:06.800 --> 0:53:08.640
<v Speaker 1>us off? I'm gonna kick it off, and I'm gonna

0:53:08.680 --> 0:53:14.719
<v Speaker 1>take Michael Gallop. I'm gonna take until that guy ends

0:53:14.800 --> 0:53:16.719
<v Speaker 1>up making a difference in the game. And give me

0:53:16.760 --> 0:53:20.520
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys twenty four twenty one, twenty one Cowboys or

0:53:20.600 --> 0:53:22.720
<v Speaker 1>you think they're only gonna get twenty one points? Houston?

0:53:24.520 --> 0:53:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Did I did I missspeak? You said that you need

0:53:28.239 --> 0:53:32.960
<v Speaker 1>to score twenty twenty seven to win. I got twenty four, alright,

0:53:33.080 --> 0:53:36.439
<v Speaker 1>twenty one? All right? Kybe Fairbaron is going to miss

0:53:36.520 --> 0:53:40.120
<v Speaker 1>four field goals. That's why they're only gonna you know what,

0:53:40.239 --> 0:53:43.680
<v Speaker 1>And Lamar Miller's been having problems with a chest chest injury, right,

0:53:44.080 --> 0:53:48.280
<v Speaker 1>you know it? Maybe Alfred Blue. Yeah, let's hope, although

0:53:48.960 --> 0:53:52.239
<v Speaker 1>he kind of heard him in that preseason japneys. Yeah,

0:53:52.280 --> 0:53:55.400
<v Speaker 1>but no one played. Those guys are at home depot.

0:53:55.840 --> 0:53:59.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah right, okay, Rob Phillips, I'm going back and forth

0:53:59.480 --> 0:54:03.279
<v Speaker 1>on this. I you know, at first, I thought, you know,

0:54:03.320 --> 0:54:04.759
<v Speaker 1>I need to see the Cowboys do this on the

0:54:04.880 --> 0:54:07.359
<v Speaker 1>road before I pick them. But I do think there

0:54:07.400 --> 0:54:09.600
<v Speaker 1>are matchups to exploit. I Brian did a great job

0:54:09.600 --> 0:54:11.600
<v Speaker 1>of explaining a lot of those. I'll go twenty seven

0:54:11.719 --> 0:54:14.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty six Cowboys, but I'm also counting on one of

0:54:14.040 --> 0:54:16.759
<v Speaker 1>those touchdowns coming off of a short field that they

0:54:16.800 --> 0:54:19.520
<v Speaker 1>actually can get an interception or some type of takeaway

0:54:19.840 --> 0:54:21.719
<v Speaker 1>to help out Dak Prescott in the offense. They're the

0:54:21.800 --> 0:54:25.200
<v Speaker 1>only team yet in the National Football League to not

0:54:25.239 --> 0:54:27.719
<v Speaker 1>have an interception. Oh he wait till you see that columns. Yeah,

0:54:28.120 --> 0:54:30.759
<v Speaker 1>this guy, this guy could throw you when too your

0:54:30.800 --> 0:54:35.719
<v Speaker 1>pick pick to click. I think Zeke they found something

0:54:35.760 --> 0:54:37.640
<v Speaker 1>in the running game. Brian's right, they got to get

0:54:37.680 --> 0:54:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the passing game some balance there. But I think Zeke

0:54:40.239 --> 0:54:44.040
<v Speaker 1>is capable of continuing what he did last week. Gay, Brian, Yeah,

0:54:44.120 --> 0:54:46.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm going with the Texans in this game, and I

0:54:46.880 --> 0:54:49.560
<v Speaker 1>feel like it's going to come down to Dak Prescott's

0:54:50.320 --> 0:54:53.200
<v Speaker 1>inability to protect the football here, and I worry about

0:54:53.680 --> 0:54:56.360
<v Speaker 1>things breaking down in the pocket. I worry about the committee,

0:54:56.400 --> 0:55:00.600
<v Speaker 1>even though that the Texans are pouring the secondary, if

0:55:00.640 --> 0:55:02.320
<v Speaker 1>it does turn into and I think the way the

0:55:02.400 --> 0:55:03.879
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys are going to have to win. And I could

0:55:03.920 --> 0:55:06.720
<v Speaker 1>be really really wrong about this. If the Cowboys protect,

0:55:06.760 --> 0:55:09.520
<v Speaker 1>they can absolutely win this game. But I do worry

0:55:09.560 --> 0:55:12.759
<v Speaker 1>about a clowney a watch something where they get a

0:55:12.840 --> 0:55:15.719
<v Speaker 1>short field drive. This is how really the Texans. I

0:55:15.880 --> 0:55:18.279
<v Speaker 1>know that they've only won, you know, the one game,

0:55:18.600 --> 0:55:21.040
<v Speaker 1>but they're going to thrive on turnovers, and when Prescott

0:55:21.120 --> 0:55:23.960
<v Speaker 1>turns the ball over, it's usually problems for the Cowboys.

0:55:24.000 --> 0:55:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I do worry about it, and then this game because

0:55:25.600 --> 0:55:28.319
<v Speaker 1>I worry about him attack in the pocket. Texans twenty eight,

0:55:28.400 --> 0:55:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys twenty four. Well, I've gone back and forth on

0:55:30.440 --> 0:55:32.560
<v Speaker 1>this because they've got not one but two guys, or

0:55:32.680 --> 0:55:34.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe more than two. They can just direct the game

0:55:34.520 --> 0:55:37.320
<v Speaker 1>for you on one big play. This is the Washington

0:55:37.400 --> 0:55:40.200
<v Speaker 1>game to me. This is the ability of them to

0:55:40.480 --> 0:55:43.279
<v Speaker 1>throw the football for twenty yards and they can in

0:55:43.400 --> 0:55:46.520
<v Speaker 1>the Texans can lose. As always when I pick against

0:55:46.520 --> 0:55:48.640
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys, I hope I'm wrong, but I just feel

0:55:48.680 --> 0:55:50.399
<v Speaker 1>like there's gonna be a turnover two in this game.

0:55:50.480 --> 0:55:53.600
<v Speaker 1>You're pick to click. I need Dak Prescott to play

0:55:53.640 --> 0:55:55.320
<v Speaker 1>well in this game if if they're gonna win. And

0:55:56.000 --> 0:55:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm agreeing with Brian, and that's good news for Cowboys

0:55:58.960 --> 0:56:03.280
<v Speaker 1>fans because I belong i predictions. I'm picking thirty seventeen Texans,

0:56:04.120 --> 0:56:07.640
<v Speaker 1>all right, and I'll wipe out and Tyrn Matthew is

0:56:07.719 --> 0:56:11.160
<v Speaker 1>going to have a big game, I'm afraid, Okay, all right,

0:56:11.239 --> 0:56:14.120
<v Speaker 1>because he's due. All right. That does it, and hopefully

0:56:14.200 --> 0:56:16.920
<v Speaker 1>for you Longhorn fans, I will don this cap on

0:56:17.320 --> 0:56:21.719
<v Speaker 1>Monday when we do Talking Cowboys. This has been a

0:56:21.800 --> 0:56:25.360
<v Speaker 1>production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys

0:56:25.440 --> 0:56:26.080
