Oh, man, 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:57.080 it's hershel Walker. But but if you ask some of 0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:01.040 the historians, they'll tell you at least one historian, Cornell 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.200 green was pretty good place. I'll take Cornell Green Good 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:07.240 Cornell Cornell green Man. I didn't know anything about him 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:11.200 until last year and we did something about him on 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:13.840 our the show I Do with Kelsey Charles. I was like, 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.840 we crast it's amazing. Oh yeah, yeah, he was. He 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.080 was a freak. I mean, I know Brad Sham will 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.679 say it for years. He said he needs to be 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:24.720 in the Ring of Honor, and you know, he's just 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.240 he hasn't been. But I'll say this about hurshchel Walker 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.759 and you and I've argued about this a little bit. 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:32.000 I think Hershel Walker needs to be considered for the 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:36.280 Pro Football Hall of Fame. Yes, some Pro Football Hall. 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:40.600 This guy, this guy, but Dad's you just add him up. 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:42.800 Since he left college, he would be like the second 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.240 leading rusher or third leading rusher in the history of 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:52.040 the league. I mean he was putting up about you 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:55.120 ye consistent or a definitely consistent. It's a Pro Football 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:58.280 Hall of Fame herschel Walker. You gotta remember, I mean 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:00.200 me because we can think about what running back coming 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:01.680 out of the league getting all you know, hit and 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.040 all that he was getting like twenty two hundred yards 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.960 in the USFL. Then he comes to Cowboys and really 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.400 just changed the whole franchise with just how good he 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.960 was and what he led to. So thirty four I 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.079 I I think herschel Walker. He's one of my favorites. 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.480 Of course, you know, I was a kid. I was 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.400 a tony of dour set fan, and then he came along. 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.040 He was bigger, stronger, faster. I felt like a trader. 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.519 Yeah that's okay, did you have the jersey. Yeah, yeah 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.280 I did. I didn't. There's a story. Oh there's a 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.680 story about that, but that's not for this thing. Shouts 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.920 out to my guy. He's not he's not listening, but 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:38.520 shouts out, Philip Tanner, come on, come on, my favorite again. 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.480 Very narrow, very narrow scope for me. But I like, 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.200 I can't even go there, Like I can't even think 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.960 of thirty four? Is I try? Oh? I mean, with 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:51.440 all due respect to pet of course, like he who 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.080 maybe carried the ball ten times in the regular season 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.400 in his career, it's not you know, I get it. 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.720 He's not at herschel Walker carried our flight. We just 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.239 personally like him because he did do wonderful man. Dude, 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.720 all um, this is what actually one of my favorite 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.400 kind of shows that we're gonna do today, even though 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:10.120 it's not quite the quartermark because it's seventeen games this year, 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.639 we're gonna do a little quartermark review. Um. I got 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.760 a ton of questions for you guys that are like 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.200 big picture questions, and I'm gonna do my best not 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:21.120 to like do that thing where I just crap on 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.720 your segments. Please don't I looked at your rundown and 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.600 I was like, okay, all right, anyway, go ahead. Well 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.240 you just did so think you're right. I can't, no, 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.960 but the point is bad, candid, and I'm not gonna 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.320 crap on it. I wanted to. I wanted to. I 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:36.960 thought about it, and I just said it on air. 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:38.760 But hey, you know, I have to let you know 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.080 how I feel. Okay. So, so what we're gonna do 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:42.680 is we're gonna have some of those questions. They're big 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.400 picture questions, and I'll have you guys answer them. And 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.200 we're gonna force Dave to answer because he likes to 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.440 ride the fence sometime, so we're gonna make him answer 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.840 these questions. And uh, but before we get to that, 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.280 let's get a quick update on injuries right now. Amari 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.520 Roup Cooper is the one that that's most important to 0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:00.000 in my opinion, had a hamstring injury in the last 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.920 asking Wooden hamstring. I think where's he sit at this point? 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:08.200 Amari Cooper's he's not fine. I feel like we say 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.840 that too often when we're like, yeah, he's he's he's 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:14.000 gonna play against the Giants, but he's dealing he's dealing 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.599 with some stuff. His ribs probably still hurting him. He's 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.440 got a hamstring added onto it now. I think that 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.160 hopefully he can use the bye week to get right, 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.120 but I don't. I have every expectation that he will 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.960 be playing up until the bye week. But he's dealing 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.120 with some stuff. Yeah, that's the best way to say, 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.920 dealing with stuff. He said himself he was gonna be okay. 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.680 But I've heard that before too from players, But I 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.400 do in this case, he kind of knows his body 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.400 well and I think that, you know, And the best 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:44.039 part is is I don't think he'll be hurting the 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:47.320 team by going out and doing and playing it. He 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.960 helped him. He helped him on it last week. And 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.040 I think he's proven and this is not a shot 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.320 against him, but he's also proven. Then if he can't go, 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.320 he won't. Yeah, that happened in the Jets game two 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.640 years ago, right, So if he can't go, he won't. 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:01.680 I think that he, you know, he does what he 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.599 can to make sure he's out there. I think he 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:05.440 will be out there in this game. They announced the 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:07.800 hamstring injury for him early in the last game, right, 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.280 wasn't it like one of the first couple of series. Yeah, so, 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.920 and obviously he had some big plays later in the game, 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.320 So you think he played through it during that game. 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.479 Obviously it's a little different when you're already warmed up, 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.600 your adrenaline is already pumping. But that does I think 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.400 Bodewell for his possibilities of being able to play this piece. 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:26.320 Let's talk about Treyvon Diggs. He was pulled in the 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.680 fourth quarter. What does he sit from a from a 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:32.680 health standpoint, fine, that's a quote from Mike McCarthy said, 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.440 he'll be fine. Doesn't seem like there's again. I mean, 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.960 maybe that's something that'll be bothering him. But the coach says, 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.479 you're fine. I assume you're fine. I don't. Yeah, I 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.880 don't think that we need to be worried about that movie. 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.960 I think we're really putting. I think we're just kind 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.120 of taking this a little too far. I mean, because 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:54.280 he he had something he needs to play. They all 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.080 have something you play through the game when it gets 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.599 out of hand a little bit. There's, like we said yesterday, 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.599 if there's a has to take him out, take him out, 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.520 and they did. I think we saw his value in 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.400 the fourth quarter. Arm as much as we saw it 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:10.040 in the third you know that's that speaks volumes for him. 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:11.640 I mean, because he played great in that and that 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.600 you know, two interceptions, but with him not out there, 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:16.400 and he wasn't the only one, but with him not 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:18.760 out there, and I think the mindset sort of changed, 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.239 like let's just get through this game. I think Jerry 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.960 Jones made a really prescient point on his weekly interview 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.640 with the Fan this morning here in Dallas, and he 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.360 was like, Yeah, that comes with the territory where you're 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.719 second guessing why they pulled him if he aggravates that 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:35.720 injury to the point where it's a big deal and 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.200 you're talking about him missing time playing in a game 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.720 that you're up by three scores, same thing everybody. Everybody's 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.640 even more mad. People are second guessing you even more 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:46.720 if you send him back out there and let him 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.039 to let him get hurt in a game that you 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.200 pretty much had in hand. I know it got dicey 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.440 at the end, but it was fine. So hey, yeah, 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:56.039 you're damned if you do, damned if you don't a 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.360 lot of times. But he's okay, it's fine. Where are 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.680 we with the COVID guys? You had keanum Neil Bradley 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.159 and I both missed last week and the week before. 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.560 What happens at this point, Yeah, I didn't realize all 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.640 the issues that happened with Kean O'Neal until Stephen Jones 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.720 kind of said that in one of his radio interviews 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.840 that he had had it. And then I guess he 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:20.120 was had to get let four five positive or negative tests, 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.680 and then after like four negative tests in the fifth 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.560 when he gets positive, become so well he was he 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.280 was a close contact. He didn't even test positive. They 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:29.640 were like you. There were a few days when he 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.640 was got to isolate. We'll test you five times, and 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.680 he got to the fifth day and he tested positive. 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.000 So and then by that point he was close enough 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.520 to not obviously he was going to miss the Eagles game, 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.400 but he was close enough to the Carolina game that 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:44.080 they put it in jeopardy for that as well. And 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:48.680 when you test positive, that restart your clock right day. Yeah. 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.360 Mike McCarthy said yesterday that he was they were. He's 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:54.680 waiting to hear the results of their tests, but he 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:58.560 expected them at work today, So I hopefully we will 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.680 see that they've been activated to day before we get 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.040 into the whole. You know where they are at the 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:07.680 quarter point and all that. I think this is probably 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.559 the best that we've seen. I think maybe the best 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:13.320 that we've felt, or at least I felt about this 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.400 team at this point in a long long time. When 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.440 you think about the guys that aren't playing, there's some 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.679 really good players and key players on the d line, 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:26.280 like of course Tank and Neville Gallimore and Tristan Hill 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.240 if he can't get back, and even uh Joseph and 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:34.000 Kean O'Neill, Carlos Watkins, exactly a lot of guys like that. 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:38.360 Lyle Collins if he returns to the starting lineup, Um wow, 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:43.080 I don't know, good lord, I don't know. No, he 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:46.880 will maybe not want to move to guard. Okay, well, 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:50.600 people are I'm saying there's some really good players, Michael Gallup, 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.520 a lot of players that are not here. And you 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:55.520 have to remember there's gonna be guys that get hurt, 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.959 and there's gonna COVID and so there will be something 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.600 a setback. But you're also getting guy, You're gonna get 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.280 better than what it looks right now, and it looks 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.679 really good right now. So you have guys to come 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.280 back to offset whatever happens in the future, if at all. 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:10.400 I mean, I just think this is this thing is 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.040 as positive as I remember in a while. That's actually 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:16.040 a really interesting point because I'll ask you guys to 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:17.880 go back now for me and think about some of 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:19.920 the years when Dallas had really good teams. You think 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:23.600 got two thousand and sixteen, two fourteen, two thousand and seven. 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.280 I think it was in those years. It doesn't I 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.720 don't recall them having this level of injury to this 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.080 level of player in those season. It seems like they 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.800 were relatively healthy in no seasons when they were really good. 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:35.800 Do you you guys recall that or do you think 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:37.880 it was, you know, similar type of situations they would 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:39.840 just able to overcome it with death. Nothing was like 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:43.160 sixteen sixteen. It was just it was just you were 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.760 just waiting for the bag to drop, you know, like 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.080 you have the milk with like wet, you know, bag, 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:49.640 it's just going to drop at some point, but it 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.199 never does. In the fact, it just gets stronger and stronger, 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.959 and you're like, what's going on here? I mean, it 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:56.720 was just the babies. They didn't know any better. They 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:58.960 was out there ball and they didn't know an Yeah, 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.120 it was one the one of the greatest years. And 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.200 then just the sick ending at the end, just the 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.440 way it went down like that. But um, and obviously 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:09.760 nothing there was an injury that catapulted them into that, 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.920 right with Romo, but obviously where and in fourteen Romo 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:14.839 was hurt. You gotta remember that year started with a 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.440 terrible loss to the forty nine ers when you know, 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:20.480 on the road at ATNC Stadium, and it's like that 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.760 was it was bad. And then he didn't look anywhere 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.000 close to that in the next game against I think Tennessee. 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:29.240 Romo didn't hit his stride that year until December. Yeah. Really, 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.719 I mean if he had played and I'm not knocking him, 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:34.520 but if he had played at the level that he 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.680 played for the last five weeks for more of the season, 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.720 he might have won MVP. Like he didn't. Really, he 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.480 didn't catch fire until the narrative had already kind of 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.480 been written for that year. Yeah, Um, that was and 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.040 that was a fun year too. They just kind of 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:49.920 that's when they figured out because it was the first 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.520 year he'd ever had a real running game. Yeah, and 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.720 it was like, oh, so this is what this is 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.960 they developed into a team like this one where you 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.360 had it was multidimensional, you could do a lot of 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.000 different things. But they did lose Um, they did lose 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:06.040 Sean Lee on the second day of that year. UM, 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:10.160 so obviously that's significant. But yeah, I mean my memory 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.840 is fuzzy, but I don't remember them juggling as many 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.800 things as they're doing right now, especially when you throw 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.400 COVID in there as well, where guys that aren't hurt 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.679 are missing games. Didn't have Randy for week two, didn't 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.559 have Keyan O'Neill this past week. I know there's been 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:27.480 other guys, but those are probably the two biggest, right Um. 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:32.440 And then Lyle's not hurt either, he's suspended, So that's yeah. 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:35.240 So no, I don't I don't remember those years because 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.880 I am curious to see how Keyan O'Neill kind of 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:41.120 fits back into it. Um. He didn't do a whole 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:44.199 lot in that first game that I remember against the Bucks. 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:45.920 I mean, I know that they have a good role 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:50.600 for him, but I wonder who's whose spot he takes. Um, 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:54.400 does he take Layton spot in the nickel? Does he 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:58.439 does he take um jay Ron Curse? Who's played some 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.360 different stuff and don't hope not on there. So I'm 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.680 kind of wondering how it's all going to good problem 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.560 to have. I'm just saying I don't know exactly what 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:10.880 happens when he comes back. He didn't mention Jalen. Yeah, well, yeah, 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:14.280 he can take Jalen spot. He probably will take Jalen 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:16.760 spot there. It is a good problem to have. Yeah, 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:18.800 all right, we're gonna take our first break a little early. 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:20.520 We're gonna come back.

At the start, it is time for 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.640 the quarter season review. It's a little bit before the 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.160 quarter of the season. It's our seventeen games, but we're 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:01.840 gonna act like this quarter of the season, all right, 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.160 So here are the questions. Let's start first with what 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:08.440 has been the most impressive performance when you factor in offense, defense, 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:12.080 special teams, and factoring in the quality of the opponent. 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:15.480 They played Dallas loses thirty one twenty nine to Tampa Bay, 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:19.840 close game, they beat the Chargers twenty seventeen, They dominate 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.280 the Eagles forty one to twenty one, and then they 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.880 win this last game against Carolina thirty six twenty eight. 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:28.240 What's been the most impressive performance? This is what I hated. 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:30.960 I just I just we don't. We still don't. You 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:34.240 just don't like to think. No, I just know, honestly, 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.680 I hate and I get it. We're here, like we're 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.080 we're filling air time. It's a runaway train. To quote 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.840 Mike McCarthy, like, we have to have opinions about these things, 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.640 but like we don't know. We don't know if the 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:50.920 Carolina win was impressive right now, we don't know if 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.320 the Bug loss was impressive. You know what you know? 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:55.640 You know what you know? After four games, it's not 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:57.200 meaning that this is what it's going to be at 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:00.000 the end of the season. It means after five games, 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.680 what is your opinion? I got visibly angry last night 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.440 on Sports Center, and I love Scott Van Pelt. I 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.120 think he's like the best at what he does. But 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.760 him and the Monday Night football guys were like, yeah, 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:15.560 AFC West looking like it goes through LA. Now statement, Baby, 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.640 I'm just like, are we kidding? Are we serious? But 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.080 that's also that's also part of this. That's also the 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:24.560 fun of watching sports is there. It's fluid. As my 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:28.160 god Jock Taylor always says, sports is fluid. What is 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.400 true today may not be true two weeks from now. 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.600 But what we're talking about is today today I care about. 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.880 But I see. That's my point though, is I think 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:38.560 you have to take more of it into account. And 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.640 so if you're making me answer this, I think losing 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:42.600 to the Bucks is the most impressive and they've done 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:46.960 so far reigning champs, same team as last year. The 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:50.000 most hostile environment LA was a home game that was 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:53.600 a road game. Hostile environment. Fans are pumped to raise 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:57.760 the banner, fire, the cannons, the goat, all that crap 0:16:57.800 --> 0:16:59.880 and they go in there. And it was before tam 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.080 but their secondaries decimated. Now it was healthier at the 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.879 beginning of the season. Uh, and they went toe to 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:09.159 toe with them. I feel the most confident that Tampa 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.680 will have a say in the playoff slash super Bowl 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.320 race out of any of the teams they've played so far. Yeah, 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.160 I think that our thoughts of the team, of what 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:19.879 we thought about the team going into the kickoff and 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:23.600 after the game probably changed as more and the Tampa 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.440 game than any other and that and that just goes 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.560 to your expectations and all that. Um. Not saying it 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.840 was an impressive loss or whatever, but I think you 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:35.440 saw right there this was a good football team, because 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:37.280 you know, the Bucks are good. That's what That's what 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:39.239 Dave's trying to say, is that it's just hard with 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:42.440 all these teams, but not them, not not with Brady, 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:46.280 not with with that coach, not with them returning all 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:49.080 those guys back, They're going to be there and to 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.000 go in there and play them like that, play them 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.520 really well. I think you got a good sense of 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:55.679 wait a second, we might have a little something. They 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:57.920 can figure out how to win, and they have. So 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.280 I think that one was was a that was a 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:03.399 it was it was It was just a good moment 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:06.560 to figure out what this team has. We obviously know 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:08.719 a lot more about every team than we did at 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:10.960 the start of the season, but we still don't know 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:13.760 enough too, and that's I guess that's my point. But 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.520 I think the Bucks are the closest thing on their 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:19.320 schedule so far to a known commodity. The same way 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:21.640 I think, even with their struggles, I know they're two 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.320 and two, the Chiefs are a known commodity, and until 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:26.560 proven otherwise, they would have to fall three or four 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:29.639 games under five hundred before I even blinked cool. Okay, 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:35.920 most impressive win, then, most impressive win Chargers for Chargers Panthers. 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:40.399 Why why why? Um, a little a little bit more 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:42.920 adversity had to figure out, I had to had to. Well, 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:44.879 they had adversity in that game too. I mean, this 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:46.760 is gonna be a coin flip, but I just think 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.880 that was like a real test to like this team. 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:52.840 You know, they had to figure out how to go 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.040 and beat them, and they did and then then they 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:58.600 got explosive with it. Um. I just I just thought 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:02.440 it was, you know, just playing on defense offense. I mean, 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:05.359 I think that they're a good team Chargers, though I 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:07.040 could I could argue that one too. I just think 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:08.639 from what I saw, I think that one was an 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:11.119 impressive game. The way they just said no, it's not 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.280 going like this. We're going to take control. If I mean, 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:16.639 people are annoyed over the years about the way I 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:18.840 talk about Aaron Rodgers get ready for the same thing 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:21.000 with Justin Herbert. I think the world of him. I 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:23.639 think he's going to He's going to be in that 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.400 conversation of guys who run the league before too long. 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:28.359 If he isn't already there, he saw it. If you 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:30.800 watched the game last night, he was incredibly impressive against 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:34.399 an undefeated team playing in a road environment in his 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:36.760
