It's it's 17 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: a roller coaster. It's up, it's down, and that's what 18 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: this season has been. They won the first one against Cleveland, 19 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: looked like this was going to be one of those 20 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: years where you know, they had a really dominant team, 21 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: especially on defense, and then two games hit New Orleans 22 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: and Baltimore humbled a lot of people, the team, fans 23 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: all that and wondering now what this team is really about. 24 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: We're starting to look at the draft show, blah blah blah. 25 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: And then comes the Giants game, tough heart, heart, fought win. 26 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: And then Pittsburgh was was you know, another one of 27 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: those type of games. And so you know, another three 28 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: and Ozero on the road and oh and two at 29 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: home and here comes the Lions come to town this weekend. 30 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: Should be a lot of fun to talk about that. 31 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 1: All right, let's get going here on the phone lines. 32 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: Our first caller is from Oklahoma, Curtis and Ada, Oklahoma. Curtis, 33 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: Good morning. Are you doing excellent? 34 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 5: Man? 35 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 6: How are you great? 36 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: What's up with you? 37 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 4: That's good man. I just thought that that was a 38 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 4: crucial win. You know, I'm the guy that called in 39 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago and was like, well, maybe 40 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 4: we kind of tank, maybe we try to trade, and 41 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 4: you know, see where we're at at the end of 42 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 4: the season. But that's just because of where we were 43 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 4: in the season and looking at our schedule, and I mean, 44 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 4: our schedule is brutal, but you know we got to 45 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 4: I mean, if you look at the three possibilities if 46 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 4: we if we lose the next two games, we're kind 47 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 4: of back down. We've lost two conference games. If we 48 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 4: go one in one. Okay, we're right there in the middle. 49 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 4: But if we can find a way to win these 50 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 4: next two games, man, I mean that's almost I'm back 51 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 4: to We're going to go to the super Bowl type 52 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 4: of vibes, you know. So just really important games coming up, 53 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 4: especially the forty nine Ers haven't been what they've been previously, 54 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 4: so maybe this might be one of your good shots 55 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 4: after the bye week to really, you know, close the 56 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 4: case on that and get you a win in the 57 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 4: win column, because you know, the last couple of years, 58 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 4: it's just been kind of brutal going up against the 59 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 4: boom box forty nine Ers. But a couple of things 60 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 4: that I wanted to talk about about the Steelers game 61 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 4: is ive seen what's called like the orbit motion. Do 62 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 4: you know what that is? 63 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: That guy goes back like. 64 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, he goes in motion and like doubles back in 65 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 4: this big orbiting satellite route. And I really love that 66 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 4: we've incorporated that motion, especially when you talk about guys 67 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 4: like Camante Turpin, because you get to see who's following 68 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 4: them and then when they double back, they have like 69 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 4: a full head of steam when the balls hiked, and 70 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 4: it gives us a lot of speed out there on 71 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 4: the edge, and those short passes kind of become an 72 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 4: extension of the running game, and I think we really 73 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 4: need that. I know Rico Daddle has come on in 74 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 4: these last couple of weeks. I have them on my 75 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 4: fantasy squad, and I can see the points that he's generating, 76 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 4: and so I know that he's putting in production also 77 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 4: receiving touchdowns out of the backfield. 78 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 7: So I really like that. 79 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 4: And I think our defense is starting to kind of 80 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 4: figure it out with the getting the rush up front 81 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 4: and how to work the zone. We worked man for 82 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 4: so long, and maybe it's because Trayvon was the only 83 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 4: one that really carried over from that system, and so 84 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 4: maybe these other guys getting in there has lent to that. 85 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 4: But I thought there was a few opportunities where we 86 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 4: were good at the run, but we could have been 87 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 4: even better. I thought we had Harris and Fields in 88 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 4: the backfield and they were just really wiggly, which you 89 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 4: know a lot of starters are, But it could have 90 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 4: been an even better day for the run. So I'm 91 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 4: just excited man to look forward to these next couple 92 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 4: of games and hopefully we can get two wins and 93 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 4: everybody be flying high after that. 94 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: All right, sounds good. Let's keep it going out and 95 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: see a lot of questions there from Curis just some comments, 96 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: which is great. Let's go. Let's go to Lesser in Minnesota. 97 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 5: Hey, Nick, how you doing this morning? 98 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 4: One? 99 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: What's up? How are you? 100 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 8: Hey? 101 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 5: I was the one that called in last week and 102 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 5: said we need to have a good offensive and defensive 103 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 5: line to build a team from there. But I know 104 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 5: we're going already. So I got one question for you 105 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 5: before I give my little take here. 106 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 8: Have you heard. 107 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 5: Anything about awesome A Richards. What's going on with him? 108 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: He's he's the backup tackle and he played as ay. 109 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: They brought him in as a tackle eligible extra blocker, 110 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: so he's kind of your swing tackle, but he's not. 111 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: It definitely seems like him playing left tackle and keeping 112 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: Tyler Smith at guard is not a better option than 113 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: moving Tyler Smith to left tackle and TJ. Bassett guard. 114 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: So maybe where he is, his bass is a better 115 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 1: guard than he is a tackle. And it seems like 116 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: Tyler Smith can play both at the high level, which 117 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: should not be overlooked. How great and important that is. Sorry, Lester, 118 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: you got another comment? 119 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, I was just thinking about putting Austin Richard at 120 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 5: right tackle and taking Still out because still I don't 121 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 5: know what's going on with on my saying he's doing 122 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 5: a bad job. But he's on the run block, he's great, 123 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 5: but on the past block he gets beat. And I 124 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 5: know he had an injury a couple of times a 125 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 5: couple of years ago. I'm sorry, but he just seems 126 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 5: like he's not holding up to pass very well. Pass block. Also, 127 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 5: I was I said the score for the Pittsburgh game 128 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 5: would be twenty one to seventeen. It was twenty to seventeen, 129 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 5: so I was close. I've been watching that a long time, 130 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 5: Like I said, all my family from Pittsburgh, so I 131 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 5: know where they usually comes to. We need to win 132 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 5: the next two games. I think we should keep running 133 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 5: the ball man, because the line was better with Bad 134 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 5: at guard and Tyler at left tackle, and I would 135 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 5: put Austin Richard over there if he's ready. I'm not 136 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 5: sure if he's ready, but I know he can pass 137 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 5: block better than Steel and then I'll hang up the rip. 138 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,559 Speaker 1: All right, Well, this is what this show's all about. 139 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: Give a fans an opportunity to throw in their opinions 140 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: on how they see things. We don't have to agree, 141 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: and uh, this is not one where I agree. I 142 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: do not think that Austin Richards is as good a 143 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: blocker as Terrence Steele a pass run anything. Honestly, I 144 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: don't think that that's the case. Now, that's nothing against him. 145 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: He's a young developing player that hasn't gotten a lot 146 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: of opportunity. Terrence Steele was a young lineman at the 147 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: same kind of same spot. Now. I mean, remember, Terren 148 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: Steele was undrafted. Austin Richards was fifth round pick. After 149 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: his first year, even in his second year, there wasn't 150 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: a lot of people saying how Terrence Steele was going 151 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: to be this great tackle. Well, he kept getting better 152 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: any better because he had they had to They didn't 153 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: have a lot of choices that he had to play, 154 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: and that helped him. And he got a huge contract. 155 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: And you know that this is this is a guy 156 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: that they they've committed some money to, so they're not 157 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,679 Speaker 1: they're not taking him out. Yeah, he gives up some 158 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: some some plays. I mean they they do. I mean 159 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: they that's that's what happens. I mean, look look at 160 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: the guys that they've gone up against here and and 161 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: you know, if he's getting beat by t. J. Watt, 162 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: he's not the only one. I mean that that that 163 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,679 Speaker 1: that happens again. I think Terrence Steel is a solid, 164 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: solid player. I don't think he's gonna be a Pro 165 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: Bowl type guy. I don't. I don't see that happening. 166 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: But I do think he's he's a really good player, 167 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: and he's getting better and better. And you know, I'm 168 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: not changing that for Awesome Richards. I mean, they just 169 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: made the point. I mean they needed a left tackle. 170 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: Their left tackle went down in the game. They moved 171 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: the guard out there. I think that just kind of 172 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: goes to show where things are with Awesome Richards. But 173 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: that's you know, that's fine. He's he's a he's ahead 174 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: of well, let's go, he's head of Josh Ball. He's 175 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: ahead of those guys. You know, he beat them out 176 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: as the swing tackle. But uh, I don't think he 177 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: was involved in their best options there. But he's still 178 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: they put him in for an extra blocker and he's 179 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: a young player needs to develop. I don't know about 180 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: changing him now for Terrence Still. I think you still 181 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: ride with Terrence Still.

Anyways, Thank you, Ali, And I will say 235 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: this about Chris Beam because I've had a few people 236 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: that have messaged me about this. I don't know if 237 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: you guys saw this. Okay, before the game on Sunday 238 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: Night football, I guess it's football in America. It was 239 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: before the game because it was during the delay they 240 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: put on the screen they put a tweet of mine. 241 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: I've never seen them do that before. I guess I 242 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: don't watch the show. I don't watch the pregame show, 243 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: but they put the tweet before the game. I tweeted 244 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: out a video of the players. The coaches were working 245 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: on wet ball tricks. They are grills. They put the 246 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: ball in the water and thrown it to the tight ends. 247 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: Linda Wells was doing that, got the video, put it out, 248 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: said they're preparing for the rain. They put that on 249 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: the TV screen. I look at my phone. I've got 250 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: like twenty five messages like, oh my God, big time, 251 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Truth be told. That really wasn't even 252 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: my video. Chris took the video. Chris gave it to me. 253 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: Knew I had a little bit more followers than him, 254 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: so he said, why don't you tweeted out? I tweeted 255 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: it out and it makes national TV where Jason Garrett 256 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: is talking about it. Ironically, my picture is so old 257 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: and outdated. I actually look like I have red hair. 258 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: I actually look like Jason Garrett. Maybe it's time for 259 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: a change. There a lot of irony going on in that. 260 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: So thank you Chris for picking me up yet again. 261 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: All right, Zach in Atlanta? 262 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 7: Hey, what's up? 263 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 8: Nick? 264 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 7: How are you? 265 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: What's up? 266 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 8: Man? 267 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 1: How are you doing? 268 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 8: All right? 269 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 9: Man? 270 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 7: Spend I guess a week or two since I called in, 271 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 7: But Man, Sunday was fun, wasn't pretty.

Marshawn Neelan 295 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 7: looks like he's kind of con back in a few 296 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 7: weeks saying with Jaron Bland, you know, maybe maybe this 297 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 7: running game is finding its way.

And 306 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 7: so looking back at Sunday against the Steelers, Chaz Green 307 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 7: did a stint on the Pittsburgh roster, and I'm just 308 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 7: curious what was that after game, like when he had 309 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 7: his performance against the Falcons, Like do you do you 310 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 7: approach the guy is nobody wants to talk to him. 311 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 7: Just curious about what that was like that fateful day. 312 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 7: And so with that, I'll hang out take care cool. 313 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't think we'd talked about that when. But yeah, 314 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: we are going to go back to Atlanta here on 315 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: November the third, Zach. I would imagine you're going to 316 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: try to make your way there to the game. But 317 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: Chaz Green game, you know, we talked about that. That's 318 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: even been discussed as a potential documentary, not Chaz Green, 319 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: but a documentary on the Name game, the Jason Garrett game, 320 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: the Miles Austen game, the Emmett game that dware. Unfortunately 321 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: it goes the other way too, you know. I mean 322 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: there is the Chess Green game. What I remember about 323 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: that at the end of the game, and if you 324 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: don't remember, it was twenty seventeen. This seems too long 325 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: ago for that, but it was back there twenty eighteen 326 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: or nineteen against the Falcons, and he gave up like 327 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: seven sacks in the game to Adrian Clayborne's as name. 328 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it was unbelievable, and they kept they didn't 329 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: give him a lot of help. They should have. I 330 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: remember them. I remember him talking after the game, and 331 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: you know, this was a third round pick. They expected 332 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: much better things from didn't work out, of course. Yeah, 333 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: I know the game was like twenty seven to seven. 334 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: I remember that. I can't remember the score that the year. 335 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: Maybe it's twenty twenty eighteen or seventeen, I don't know, 336 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. There you go, uh, Chaz Green game and 337 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: he's bounced around. I guess the league a little bit, 338 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: didn't didn't work out here. Let's hope for nothing like 339 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: that again. Ever, all right, and Deck would appreciate that. 340 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: All right, Randy, and Texarkana is next. 341 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 11: Morning, nephew, how you doing good? 342 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: How are you Texa? Kana, Arkansas? I will point that 343 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: part out there. 344 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 11: You go, Well, I'm gonna take his noise. All It's 345 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 11: just either way, we're good. 346 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: Oh Texas. 347 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 11: Yeah, I just have to live on Orchitoba, Texas. So observation. 348 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 8: All right. 349 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 11: I've heard coaches and players talk about this on defense, 350 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 11: and this goes to why the defense looked so good 351 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 11: against Pittsburgh. They were playing team defense. And what I 352 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 11: mean by that is when Michael Parsons is on the field, 353 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 11: they tend to plan their defense around him. They design 354 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 11: their defense around Michael, what they're going to do with him, 355 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 11: where they're going to line him on all that. Well, 356 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 11: if the offense figures him out and they take him 357 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 11: out of the game, that screws up the plan for 358 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 11: all the other guys, and it's almost like they're having 359 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 11: to wing it. I think they should not plan around 360 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 11: Mikey anymore, just play simple team defense and just let 361 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 11: him be a good player on that defense. 362 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying, kind of you're saying, don't 363 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: let him float. 364 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 5: Around, don't they? 365 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 11: No, it's not that. It's don't PenPoint him in the 366 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 11: plan of your defensive scheme, because if they if they 367 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 11: mess up that part of the defense, then it throws 368 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 11: off the rest of the defense. If they figure out 369 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 11: a way to take Maca out of the game, well 370 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 11: you've planned that particular defense for Mica and if they 371 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 11: take him out, well, then it blows the rest of him. 372 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: Yeah. 373 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 11: So if they'll just pretend like Maca is not Macy 374 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 11: anymore and just have a game plan across the board 375 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 11: defense like they did against Pittsburgh, and just let him 376 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 11: be a really good player on that defense, they may make. 377 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 11: You know, it may wind up being better. 378 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 9: I don't know. 379 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 11: There's just a thought I had. 380 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, comments, all right, Randy, Uh, anything else I have 381 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 1: a comment? Yeah, that's it, all right, We'll have a 382 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: good one. 383 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 9: Man. 384 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: Always good to hear from you. They're in Texta, cana 385 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: It's where my mom lives. Shout out to her. Uh, 386 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: they're on Texas, Canada. I wouldn't I wouldn't be here 387 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: today if it wasn't for textacants for my mom and 388 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: dad both met there, so I have fond memories of 389 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: that place. Side Texas size, pretty cool, pretty cool place, 390 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: all right. I think there's two sides to that that 391 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: theory there that you're talking about, because on one hand, 392 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 1: you're just like, if they take Mike out, that messes 393 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 1: up the whole game plan. But also his versatility that 394 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 1: he has to be able to play, you know, to 395 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: go to flip sides and things like that where you're 396 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: talking about if they if they have a game plan 397 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: that's exotic, where he can do different things, it's a 398 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: lot harder for the teams to take him out of 399 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: the game plan because every single snap you have to 400 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: figure out where he is. Now, there's that side, there's 401 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: also TJ. Watt and Pittsburgh. He never changes sides really, actually, 402 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: you know what, that's not actually true. They used to 403 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: say that about him, But I saw him flipping all 404 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: over the place in that game. He usually doesn't. He 405 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: did though in this game. He was tough to stop. 406 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: So I think that there's there's two ways. I think 407 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,239 Speaker 1: I've always been told that you just don't do it 408 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: one way in the game. You just don't other than 409 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: play a quarterback. You don't you know, I don't rotate. 410 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: But for the most part, you know, are they going 411 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: to blitz? Are they going to play zone? Are they 412 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: going to do this? Are they going to run outside? 413 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: Are they going to do go throw deep? Yes, you're 414 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: going to do all of that, but you're not only 415 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: going to do that. You have to mix it up 416 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: a little bit. Let's take one more call before we 417 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: could take a break. Here Doc in Allentown, Pennsylvania. 418 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 10: Hey, Nick, how you doing good? 419 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: How are you Doc? 420 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 10: Doing good? My son and I went to three and 421 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 10: oh this weekend we were at the Pittsburgh game. Awesome 422 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 10: and it was great. We wait out the rain delay 423 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 10: that and they were actually announcing on the weather that 424 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 10: it was going to be until midnight before they could 425 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 10: start it because of the lightning. I thank god that 426 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 10: didn't happen. 427 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 1: Thankfully. 428 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 10: It was a great game. Almost had a heart attack 429 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 10: when they had the fumble there at the end, but 430 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 10: great play by Dak to get back on it. But 431 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 10: I just said to myself, my question for you is 432 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 10: we brought back Zeke to be the short yardage goal 433 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,479 Speaker 10: line first down guy. And I said to him, Why 434 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 10: aren't we putting him in? And then Rico, who had 435 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 10: a real good game up until that point, you know, 436 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 10: and the Steeler guy made an unbelievable Hite helmet right 437 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 10: on the ball. I mean it was that was just incredible. 438 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 10: But still I don't know why, you know, Zeke seems 439 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,239 Speaker 10: to be getting a lot of bad publicity, and uh, 440 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 10: I'm still a fan of his and I think Rico 441 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 10: is the number one. But you know, what, do you 442 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 10: think that they should use Zeke on those short yardage ones? 443 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 10: And he has actually had a few good carries, including 444 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 10: in the Giants game in the Steelers game, But I 445 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 10: got called back to the penalties, which I think is 446 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 10: our biggest problem right now, the penalties. 447 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, they're still figuring that out, thank thanks, Doc. 448 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they're still figuring out what they're 449 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: going to do with the running game and and and 450 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: you know, I think Rico looked like you know, from 451 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: that game and also the last couple now he's sorting 452 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: to take over as as the lead back, and that's 453 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: that's fine. I think there's still a role for for 454 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 1: another running back short yardage, uh, you know, and Zeke 455 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: could could have that it's it's a new role for him, 456 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: and you know, short yardage situations. There's two sides to that. 457 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: There's times where you want your bigger guy that you know, 458 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: if you hit, you have contact, he can still kind 459 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: of you know, carry himself into the end zone. But 460 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: you also got to have the quickness to get there too. 461 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: You know, Tony Pollard, he's not the same when when 462 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: he was in the back. There were some people arguing, yeah, 463 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: but he hits that hole quicker, that cole that that 464 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: hole is is there if he if he hits it 465 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: as opposed to the guy that's bigger and stronger that's 466 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: not going to hit it as quick. But also will 467 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: you have a chance to to maybe you know, shut 468 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: off that contract a little bit contact and get into 469 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: the end zone. So uh, you know, I I think 470 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: that they're not afraid to use either one. I mean 471 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: in that drive and that game winning drive, Zeke did 472 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: have a first down carry on third and one and 473 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: got a first down, So they're they're using them both 474 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: and Liftkey that there's some talk about you know, using 475 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: him as well, So they're doing all of it actually 476 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: right now, all right, let's take a break here on 477 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: Cowboys storyline, and we'll be right back to take more 478 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: questions and text messages when we return. 479 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 12: Cowboys fans.

Before we get back to the phone 519 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 1: lines though, but the lines we do have an open line, 520 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: I believe eight eight eight eight five five two two 521 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: nine seven. First, I want to hit a text question. 522 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: This is from our DJ in New Jersey, says, good morning. Storyline. 523 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: He's just wanted to acknowledge Hunter Lipke. This is a 524 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: football player who in the last five games has done 525 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: nothing but make plays with and without the ball. True. 526 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it just keeps going, you know, every single day. 527 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: I actually told him about the nickname that I gave him. 528 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: He liked it. I think I called him Thanksgiving because 529 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 1: every time you put everything on his plate, he just 530 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: he just eats it. You just keep adding stuff to 531 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: the plate, just like like you would on Thanksgiving. You know, 532 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 1: he's not he's not He's not gonna be telling a 533 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: lot of jokes. That's not his thing. I mean, he's 534 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: kind of, you know, mild manner guy, kind of you know, 535 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 1: maybe he does maybe you know, outside of the locker 536 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: room or whatever, but he's pretty serious minded dude. And 537 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 1: but he he just gets it done. And you know, 538 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: I'm you got to be careful with with players like that, 539 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: where you're like, just keep giving them the ball, just 540 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: keep giving them things, because you know he's not I 541 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: don't think he's the lead back. I think he can 542 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: he can carry it every now and again, but you know, 543 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: he doesn't have that that open field speed. He's not 544 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: gonna do that. That's not what you want. But but 545 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: you he's he's an H back. I mean he's a 546 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: classic H back. He can be a tight end, he 547 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 1: can be a runner. They the Cowboys really haven't had 548 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: a player like this in a while. And don't say 549 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: Darryl Johnson because that's not really the type of player. 550 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: Darryl Johnson was a fullback. He was a full back. 551 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: Now he could catch it out of the backfield. He 552 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 1: did that, didn't really run it that much. Liftkey's a 553 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,360 Speaker 1: little bit. He's a lot different in my opinion than him. 554 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: But man, he had a he had a great play 555 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: in the game. I actually got almost got in trouble 556 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: in the press box because you're not really supposed to 557 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: have outburst, you know. But for some reason, if y'all 558 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: remember the old on primetime, they would watch ESPN Primetime 559 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: with Chris Berman would do that when every time Mike 560 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: Alstock would get the ball. He would just like, well 561 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: I did that in the middle of the press box 562 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: when there's a screen. It was at the end of 563 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: the game, the screen to liftkey and he's running down. 564 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: I'm doing that in the press box. So I got 565 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: to watch out for that. But then again, maybe those 566 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: rules are changed a little bit. We keep putting our 567 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: Spanish broadcast in the press box and they don't tone 568 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: it down in victor of the album and that that crew, 569 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: so there's you know, there's outbursts all the time in 570 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: the press box. Makes it fun. All right, let's go 571 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: to the phone lines here. Dylan, Northport, Florida, Dylan, what's up? 572 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 14: Man has a gun? 573 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: How are you? 574 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 14: I'm all right? Called last week talked about what do 575 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 14: we got to do to get away from these slants 576 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 14: and crills? Open the pass game and we said, chicken 577 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 14: her egg, you gott to run the ball. I think right, 578 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 14: And the shows this week Dallas ran the ball. Well, 579 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 14: Steelers had to commit resources. I haven't watched the all 580 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 14: twenty two, probably won't get a chance to watch this 581 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 14: Sleep with the Storm, but we saw live. I saw 582 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 14: countless times where the Steelers were stacking the box and 583 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 14: I mean just the passing chart here. Dak had four 584 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 14: passes past ten yards against the Giants. He had ten 585 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 14: against the Steelers. So we put more balls downfield. You 586 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:37,959 Speaker 14: saw we go get a touchdown pass off of one 587 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,719 Speaker 14: of those. Rico ran really well, man, I'm excited about him. 588 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 14: Well you can do moving forward. One moment he had, 589 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 14: unfortunately was the fumble. Yeah, and that play bothered me 590 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 14: a little bit because you mentioned Hunter Lippy Hunter Lippey 591 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 14: cleared a nice path for him. He just needed an 592 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,239 Speaker 14: extra half of the second patients to just follow him 593 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 14: and it's basically a walk in touchdown. But other than that, 594 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 14: you know, Rito has played a really good vision which 595 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 14: he struggled with for this season so far, and I 596 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 14: thought he looked really great. I do want to give 597 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 14: you my score prediction too. I think this will be 598 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 14: probably my. 599 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 8: Last call for the league. 600 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 14: I'll be on lockdown here very early score score predictions, 601 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 14: so this is up to change it as of right now. 602 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 14: I'll say the Lions thirty one twenty four because I 603 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 14: being the Steelers is one thing, and it was a 604 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 14: really good win. As a tough team. I think the 605 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 14: Lions just have a craft ton of talent running back 606 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 14: wise receiver rise for so many ways they can be 607 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 14: who Dallas is still dealing with injuries, and I think 608 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 14: Dallas will compete offensively. I just think the Lions running 609 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 14: game is going to be a little bit too much 610 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 14: this week. 611 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: Be a tough matchup, for sure, Dylan, you guys be 612 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: safe over there. The most important thing is not about 613 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: the Lions game, the Steelers game, Rico fumbling all that. 614 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: You guys be safe there with the hurricane, for sure. 615 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: And I appreciate you you taking some. 616 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 14: Time to call in all right, thanks Nick doing. 617 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: You too, man. You know, it's a different world sometimes 618 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: and just thinking about you know, extra things that are 619 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: out there. You know, this is just football. This is 620 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: just we're just talking, you know, Cowboys and and and Steelers, 621 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: Cowboys and Lion Lions. But I know you guys have 622 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 1: you know, real life that that that happens. And and 623 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: I've heard people say, you know, sometimes this is a 624 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: type of show, and all of our podcasts are the 625 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: type of podcasts that can kind of get your mind 626 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: off of things and and and if that that helps, 627 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: then then I certainly appreciate it. But uh, the biggest 628 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: thing is you guys, stay safe. That's the second reference 629 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: we've had in this show about the hurricanes. And and 630 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes we take it for granted here. Everybody's 631 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: got different things that they deal with obviously, but we 632 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: don't really Texas, or at least Dallas doesn't deal with hurricanes. 633 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: Houston does, but but not so much here. But still 634 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: it's nothing that I've actually been involved in before. And 635 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: it's a scary situation for sure. You guys be safe 636 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: out there, all right, Michael and Bowling Green, Kentucky's next. 637 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 15: Michael, Hey, how you doing today? 638 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 3: Good? 639 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: How are you? 640 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 15: I'm pretty good, all right. You know, I think at 641 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 15: the end of the season, I think we're going to 642 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 15: look back on this game and say that that was 643 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 15: the game that changed our season. I think we're gonna 644 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 15: come out on the other side of this game better 645 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 15: than we were coming into it. They figured some stuff out. 646 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: You know that those are things that that you do, 647 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: and like you said, at the end of the season, 648 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: you can go back and and and do that. And 649 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: there have been games like that. I've got some in 650 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: mind that that I remember, you can look at and go, 651 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: you know, that game changed everything, and this could be 652 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: one of them because of how they had to win 653 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: and who they had to win with. But go go 654 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: ahead with your other questions or points. 655 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:43,239 Speaker 15: I just got a quick question about can you just 656 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 15: tell a story about Travis Frederick. 657 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: Travis Frederick, Okay, that's all I got, all right, story, 658 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: that's what story, storyline is because it's the story time 659 00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: as well. Travis Frederick. You know the thing about him. 660 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't really think of a ton of 661 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: stories off the bat, but I do remember when he 662 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: first when he was first drafted. Now, when he was drafted, 663 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: he hurt some feelings and whether we did our draft show, 664 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: they didn't have him, they didn't have him getting picked 665 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: first overall our first round, and I think it hurt 666 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: a lot of feelings from fans too. Nobody wants to 667 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: draft a center in the first round, but especially they 668 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: had moved back from like nineteen to thirty two and 669 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: so picked up a third round pick in the process. 670 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: It just wasn't it just wasn't a sexy pick. I mean, 671 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: nobody from Alignment from Wisconsin's not going to be and so, 672 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: but what a great picket it was. And it was 673 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: the second of three in a four year span. There 674 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: Tyron Smith, then Frederick and then Zach Martin all in 675 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: that like a four years. They were really that offensive 676 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: line around the thing. I just remember about him, like 677 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: I can. I had this visual at training camp of 678 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: he would get like in a one on one drill. 679 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: He would get beat like for the first like half second, 680 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: you know, and you're like, oh, man, he's about to 681 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: get pancakes. But then he could just anchor down. He 682 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: just knew how to to kind of just get his 683 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 1: body just right where he would just anchor and then 684 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: just stop. It would just stop the whole process. And 685 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,439 Speaker 1: then you think this defensive tackle some I don't even 686 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 1: I can't even think of, you know, somebody like and 687 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 1: Antoine Woods or somebody like, oh look at him, He's 688 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: about to be Frederick and didn't even just stop. And 689 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: he was so good at that, knew how to how 690 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 1: to you know, put his hands in the right place, leverage. 691 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: Really great, great player, and it's unfortunate that that, you know, 692 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,399 Speaker 1: his career was cut short. But uh, you know, he's 693 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 1: he's one of those that will go down as is 694 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: one of the best centers, in my opinion, one of 695 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: the best centers of all time. All Right, let's go 696 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: back to the line here, Erwin and Denver. It's been 697 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: a while, Irwin. What's up man? 698 00:34:59,040 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 16: Hey, what's going on? 699 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 1: How you doing? 700 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 2: I'm doing great, doing great, Hey. Just a couple of things. 701 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 2: I agreed with one of the guys who called in 702 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 2: earlier about Micah Parsons, like, I just want to get 703 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,800 Speaker 2: your thoughts on that. I remember watching Lawrence Taylor play 704 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 2: and he was like one of those players that would 705 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 2: absolutely destroy a game, and I don't all teams really 706 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,439 Speaker 2: scheming him and taking him out of games as good 707 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 2: as he was. And then the other thing I want 708 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 2: to ask you about or make a comment, I really 709 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 2: think that Turpin and Tolbert need to be in that 710 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 2: starting lineup. I mean, it's obvious that Terpin brings great 711 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 2: speed to the wide receiver part. And I just think 712 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 2: that Colbert has elevated himself above Cook's Cooks being an 713 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 2: older receiver now and I just think that he's ready 714 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 2: to take that spot. And I just wanted to get 715 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 2: your thoughts on those, and I'll let you go, and 716 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 2: thanks for taking my. 717 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: Call, all right, thank you. 718 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 9: Man. 719 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: First of all, starting lineup is not it's not like 720 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 1: it used to be. They're all gonna play like they're all. 721 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter who's This isn't the super Bowl where 722 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: they run, you know, who gets the run out of 723 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 1: the tunnel and get their name called. I mean it's 724 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: not it's not so much like that. I'm looking at man, 725 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 1: this Hunter Lipke was a starter, you know in the game. 726 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the starting lineup. He started with Dabble 727 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 1: just because that's the package that they used. So they're 728 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna play. I mean, when Cooks comes back, they're 729 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: still gonna use Turpin and Tolbert. So who who's the starter? 730 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 1: Who gets all the reps? I mean that's a little 731 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: irre irrelevant because they're all in that. I mean, CD's 732 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: one guy, one starter, and then you're gonna see Tolbert 733 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 1: in there a lot. You'll see Churpin. So I get 734 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: your point. Your point is they need to play a 735 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 1: little bit more, and maybe even more than Cooks when 736 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 1: he comes back. Let's see how that goes. I'm not 737 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 1: ready to just put Cooks down because I saw this 738 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: last year too. Last year it was a slow start. 739 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,720 Speaker 1: They weren't I don't think they were using him correctly, 740 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,280 Speaker 1: and I don't think they feel like they're using him correctly. 741 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,320 Speaker 1: They this happened last year year then that they said, 742 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,760 Speaker 1: this isn't his routes, these aren't these aren't the plays 743 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 1: that make him a dynamic receiver. Let's get him down 744 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,359 Speaker 1: the field, let's get him crossing the field. Once they 745 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: started to do that, you know, you saw a much 746 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: better football player. Uh last year. I mean by the 747 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: end of the year, Cooks was was really really good. 748 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 1: So I think they got to make sure and get 749 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: back to that he can still be a weapon for them. Uh, 750 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: same with Turpin Tolbert. They try to use them in 751 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 1: the right way. And so that's it's I don't think 752 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,359 Speaker 1: it's a problem to you know, this isn't like I said, 753 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: this isn't quarterback where you have to make a decision. 754 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 1: If they're good and they're talented, there there could be 755 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,840 Speaker 1: a role for them. Ask for Micah, you know, I 756 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: we'll see how how he comes back and and and 757 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,399 Speaker 1: what they do with him. You know, they're they're still 758 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: figuring that out. Zimmer is still you know, learning on 759 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 1: where where where to put him, where to put all 760 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 1: of these guys. You know what, what what does overshown 761 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: do best? You know how can he have an exotic 762 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 1: role in there too? So there's a lot of different 763 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: ways to figure that out. All right, Let's let's take 764 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 1: a break here on Cowboy storyline. We'll come back with 765 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,359 Speaker 1: a few more calls.

How about? What's your thought on that? 804 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 8: I mean I spoke you last week online about it 805 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 8: and his yards for separation were terrible. Yeah, but maybe 806 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 8: they had to do with his knee and I wanted 807 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 8: to give these young guys a chance and told it 808 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 8: stepped up huge this week. That was my that's my 809 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 8: thought on that, and I'm glad they got the young guys. 810 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 8: And I saw Ryan Flownery in there. You didn't get 811 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 8: any catches, but I mean he was in there bunch, 812 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,440 Speaker 8: which was good to see him on the field. 813 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 814 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,120 Speaker 8: Yeah. My other thought is what I actually want your 815 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 8: thought on Tyler Smith. Unbelievable that he could just move 816 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 8: from left guard to left tackle and hold it down 817 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 8: like he did. And I just think, I mean, he 818 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 8: might be better at left tackle. Our team might be 819 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,880 Speaker 8: better at having them at left tackle and having the 820 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 8: rookie just sit and learn a little bit and have 821 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 8: Tyler Bass there at that left guard position, because they 822 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,439 Speaker 8: looked really good when he came in there. 823 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's yes, Yeah, I mean that that's a that's 824 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 1: a dilemma. Thanks, thanks for the call, Chris, appreciate that. 825 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I I said this yesterday. And you know, 826 00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 1: Tyler Guidon, fortunately he's kind of dated like he has 827 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,400 Speaker 1: a chance to play in this game against against the Lions, 828 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,760 Speaker 1: so so his his injury is not as serious obviously 829 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 1: as Marshawn Neelan, who's going to be out for a 830 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 1: few weeks here, probably gonna go to i R. So 831 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 1: at this point I would just stop putting. I would 832 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,279 Speaker 1: just stop calling people defensive ends. Just just make them like, 833 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 1: just call them outside linebackers. And then therefore, if you 834 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: if you put a defensive end tag on them, they're 835 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,839 Speaker 1: getting hurt. That's just that's just the way it's going here. 836 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 1: But but to Tyler's to your point on Tyler Smith, 837 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,799 Speaker 1: it's phenomenal what what he did in the game. This 838 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,319 Speaker 1: this it's not easy to just say I'll just just 839 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 1: move out there. I've seen Zach Martin. Zack Martin's a 840 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,120 Speaker 1: team player. He can play right tackle. I saw him 841 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 1: in a press conference one time a couple of years 842 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 1: ago when they were sort of moving that and they said, 843 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 1: you know, what are your thoughts on that? And he said, 844 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: I'm a right guard and they're like, yeah, but but 845 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 1: you know you have the ability, you know, if you 846 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 1: need it, he said, I'm a guarden, Like, okay, it matters. 847 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 1: It's a difference. It's a difference between tackle and guard. 848 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,880 Speaker 1: You guys know that. I'm not I'm not telling you 849 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 1: something you don't know. I'm just trying to point out 850 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,439 Speaker 1: that when when that happens and he plays guard left 851 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,359 Speaker 1: guard in the game and moves out to tackle with 852 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,960 Speaker 1: no practice and does that, that's an impressive move and 853 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: it's it's unbelievable what what he's been able to do. 854 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,360 Speaker 1: I don't think it gets it gets mentioned enough. Just 855 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:26,880 Speaker 1: just how remarkable that that is. Tyler Geiton needs to 856 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,239 Speaker 1: play to get better. But you're right right now in 857 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:34,200 Speaker 1: this game against the Lions, who's your best players? Maybe 858 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 1: it is TJ. Bassett left guard and Tyler Smith at 859 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,839 Speaker 1: left tackle. I know the Cowboys don't want to do it, 860 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 1: but it's it's it's the best for your football team, 861 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: you know so, and that's that's what they're trying to do, 862 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,319 Speaker 1: is win games. All right, Gavin, Oklahoma City? What's up? 863 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 18: By Hey, Nick, I'm gonna keep it brief today. I 864 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,920 Speaker 18: just got a couple of things for you. My first thought, 865 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 18: and it is just a thought, so feel free to 866 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 18: shoot it down. 867 00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 1: Is your thought. 868 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 18: I was kind of I was wondering how you feel 869 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 18: about about it, though, So I personally think that maybe 870 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 18: with our star players being out, or some of our 871 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 18: star players being out, seeing their backups come in and 872 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 18: put forth full effort and really stop that run game 873 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:22,360 Speaker 18: and make some plays. 874 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:23,399 Speaker 8: I was wondering if you. 875 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,839 Speaker 18: Think that maybe could motivate then when they come back 876 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,279 Speaker 18: to like, I don't know, perform better. And I know 877 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,840 Speaker 18: I feel like I know what your reply would be today. 878 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,319 Speaker 18: If playing for the Dallas Cowboys and making money and 879 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 18: winning games doesn't motivate you enough, then I don't think 880 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:39,919 Speaker 18: anything will. 881 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,719 Speaker 5: But I don't know. 882 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,400 Speaker 18: I just sometimes when I watch Michael in particular, and 883 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 18: don't get me wrong, I love Michael Parsons, I feel 884 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 18: like on first and second down, especially when they run 885 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,640 Speaker 18: the ball, he doesn't show as much effort as some 886 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,239 Speaker 18: of the younger hunger guys might be shown. Yeah, and 887 00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,760 Speaker 18: the other thing I got for you, i'll just listen 888 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 18: to you talk is I usually don't call in multiple 889 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,839 Speaker 18: times a week, and I probably won't later in the week. 890 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,319 Speaker 18: But I think the odds are a way against us 891 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,600 Speaker 18: in Detroit. But you always ask the fans what they 892 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,359 Speaker 18: think we could do to win a game. I think 893 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,240 Speaker 18: in this particular game, you're gonna have to really out 894 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 18: scheme Detroit as a coaching staff, and everybody's gonna have 895 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,279 Speaker 18: to give one hundred percent effort on every play because 896 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,759 Speaker 18: it's going to be a tough one and I think 897 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 18: falling to h and three at home would be kind 898 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,800 Speaker 18: of devastating, even if three and three is at the 899 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:30,719 Speaker 18: end of the world. But with that, I'll hang up 900 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:31,959 Speaker 18: and thanks for taking my car, all. 901 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,799 Speaker 1: Right, thanks, Well, it would be devastating if you weren't 902 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,200 Speaker 1: playing well on the road. I mean, you know, you 903 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 1: count on winning games at home. You don't count on 904 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 1: winning all your road games like that. But this is 905 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 1: the way this league is. That's way this team is, 906 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 1: you know it. And Baltimore is a really good team. 907 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,440 Speaker 1: I mean Baltimore is really really good, and I think 908 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,840 Speaker 1: Detroit is too. And I don't know about the Saints. 909 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 1: The Saints are. They were good that day, but I 910 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 1: don't know how how how good they are there better 911 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 1: than than they were, So you know, I can't can't 912 00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,879 Speaker 1: look at it following oh and three at home. I mean, 913 00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 1: that's just kind of the way the way it is. 914 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 1: You've got to just keep it. I said this all 915 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,359 Speaker 1: for when the schedule came out. Just just keep your 916 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 1: head above water here in these first seven or eight games, 917 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 1: because then after that you might get on a chance 918 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,000 Speaker 1: to you know, get a chance to start winning some games. 919 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,520 Speaker 1: But then again, the schedule, it's it looks totally different 920 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 1: than than it was. I mean at San Francisco doesn't 921 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,439 Speaker 1: look as tough as it it usually is. We'll see, 922 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 1: it'll be it'll be a tough game. But I'm just saying, 923 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,920 Speaker 1: with McCaffrey not there right now, we'll see what happens 924 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 1: with him. At Washington looks a lot tougher, uh than 925 00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 1: it did. Washington is much better now, So it's hard 926 00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,960 Speaker 1: to look like that, you know, too far ahead, Uh 927 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:54,080 Speaker 1: your point real quick about Micah Parsons. You know that's 928 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,080 Speaker 1: a slippery slope when you're talking about you know, guys 929 00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,960 Speaker 1: getting getting hurt and and they motivate him and all that. 930 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,759 Speaker 1: I think it's a mindset for the entire team of uh, 931 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,040 Speaker 1: you know, yes, we we we need you guys back. 932 00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,480 Speaker 1: You guys are our stars. We need you back. But 933 00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,400 Speaker 1: this team's gonna fight. This team's gonna fight. They're gonna 934 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,040 Speaker 1: hold down the fort without you and and and and 935 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,440 Speaker 1: these guys that were pulling off the practice squad that 936 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,480 Speaker 1: you could barely even pronounce their names or rearrea and 937 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,759 Speaker 1: and all that is gonna come in and he's gonna 938 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,560 Speaker 1: step up, and and Carl Lawson's gonna step up. And 939 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,360 Speaker 1: Chauncey Golson's gonna move from tackle to end, and and 940 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,359 Speaker 1: Mazzie Smith's gonna play well. And lin Val Joseph's gonna 941 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,000 Speaker 1: turn back the clock like it's five six years ago, 942 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,319 Speaker 1: and and and and bull rush his way up to 943 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,839 Speaker 1: the center of the quarterback and all that. I mean, 944 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,279 Speaker 1: these guys are just gonna ball out and play. So 945 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,400 Speaker 1: come on back, come back when you can, you know, 946 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,959 Speaker 1: hopefully sooner than later. But but no one's gonna roll over, 947 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,520 Speaker 1: you know. And and I think that's kind of the mindset. 948 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,279 Speaker 1: And and maybe they come back. It rejuvenates everyone. We 949 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,240 Speaker 1: saw it when Dak went out, they rallied around Cooper 950 00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,560 Speaker 1: rush Dak came back, they took it to another level too, 951 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:00,919 Speaker 1: So that that might be the case. Let's hope that 952 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 1: that's the case when he does come back. We got 953 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:04,960 Speaker 1: one more caller here, Michael Mississippi. 954 00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:10,320 Speaker 16: What's up man, Hey, rookie Mike Nick is what the 955 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:13,680 Speaker 16: real rookie Mike. I'm a huge fan, never called him before. 956 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:18,560 Speaker 16: First time caller. I bought your book. Love it by 957 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,359 Speaker 16: the way, we go, Thank you so much. 958 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,319 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Thank you for buying the book. 959 00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,359 Speaker 16: Yeah. I actually wanted to defend Jerry Jones a little 960 00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,920 Speaker 16: bit on this call. I don't know if you've seen it, 961 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:34,839 Speaker 16: but at the end of the game, when Dad took 962 00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,960 Speaker 16: the winning touchdown, they showed him moving the press box 963 00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:42,960 Speaker 16: and he was emotional. You know, he was crying. And 964 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 16: it's like all the fans say he don't care about winning, 965 00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:50,320 Speaker 16: and you know, he's all he cares about is making money. 966 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,120 Speaker 16: Even media says it. And I just really want to 967 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,640 Speaker 16: give a shout out to him. If he's crying in 968 00:47:55,680 --> 00:48:00,319 Speaker 16: the press box, he obviously cares about winning. Yeah, So 969 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:01,799 Speaker 16: I don't know. 970 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen that. I've seen him and he gets emotional, 971 00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,000 Speaker 1: you know about about some of those situations. That game 972 00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:13,319 Speaker 1: was was an emotional game. Just the people that say 973 00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,160 Speaker 1: that that they they've never met him, they don't know him. 974 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,760 Speaker 1: They if they think if people really think Jerry doesn't 975 00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:21,200 Speaker 1: want to win, that then they they don't know who 976 00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:25,359 Speaker 1: he is and what he's about. And and uh, it's 977 00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,759 Speaker 1: just easy to just it's low hanging fruit just to 978 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,319 Speaker 1: kind of say that sounds good. People are gonna think, 979 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,200 Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, well, you're really critical on the Cowboys. 980 00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:36,239 Speaker 1: But those people don't know, They honestly don't know if 981 00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:38,600 Speaker 1: they really really think Jerry's not trying to win that 982 00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,360 Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. But sorry, Michael, we're pressed up against it. 983 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:43,839 Speaker 1: You got one more you have more? One more pointer question? Yeah, 984 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:44,200 Speaker 1: I was just. 985 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,560 Speaker 16: Gonna say, you know, we're always favored to go to 986 00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,520 Speaker 16: the super Bowl and everything, and everybody's always talking about that. 987 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 5: Hey, let's play this on the doll rod. 988 00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,040 Speaker 16: It's just, uh, I ain't giving up on it. We 989 00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:58,279 Speaker 16: got seventeen games and we got a hard schedule coming up. 990 00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,000 Speaker 16: Like you said, everybody's stepping up. They know they got 991 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,319 Speaker 16: a step up. We got players coming back.

This isn't doesn't look like a 997 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,439 Speaker 1: twelve and five type team. Then again, twelve and five 998 00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,239 Speaker 1: didn't get you where you really wanted to go. This 999 00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:25,920 Speaker 1: is gonna be a different type of team. This is 1000 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:29,399 Speaker 1: a different season. Uh, making the playoffs for this team, 1001 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:33,560 Speaker 1: I think would be really, really a big accomplishment, especially 1002 00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:36,399 Speaker 1: with all these injuries they're they're they're just fighting through 1003 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,680 Speaker 1: it right now. But you know it's it's gonna be 1004 00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a challenge, but you keep you keep 1005 00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,280 Speaker 1: giving yourself a chance. Just give yourself a chance. Figure 1006 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,000 Speaker 1: out a way to run the ball, figure out a 1007 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,640 Speaker 1: way to stop the ball. Set He's gonna be making plays. 1008 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,839 Speaker 1: He'll be making some plays in the second half of games. 1009 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:52,759 Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening there, but I'm sure they'll 1010 00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,480 Speaker 1: get that thing turned around. You got enough superstars, you 1011 00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 1: got guys coming back. Just gotta keep gotta keep fighting. 1012 00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:00,319 Speaker 1: And that's what they did in that game.
