It's it 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:13.640 on time arrival, just like American Airlines. M it already 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.759 started the show technically. Yeah, I thought I was working 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.080 with John Facinda there for a moment. Did you notice 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.440 that with with Bill, Bill was using the John Facinda 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:28.040 podcast voice. Yes, Yes, that's a cool dark day at Lembo. 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.360 John Unitis walking to the line of scrimmage you know, 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:36.160 it's a cold, wet day. It is center. We started. 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:39.479 I actually started that. I actually broke down and parked 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:43.039 in the parking garage today. You should never do that. 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:48.120 You should never We're not supposed to do that, but 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.040 I you know what, I just I actually worked out 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:55.280 this morning. So I'm wearing shorts and walk. I don't 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.040 want to walk walking in the rain in thirty five 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:01.720 degree weather inside the buildings I parked inside today. All Right, 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:04.640 it's time to tuck some cowboys and some Seahawks. I 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.640 know y'all did a great job with it yesterday, getting 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.959 everybody ready for this matchup. The rematch of the game 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.399 in September, that doesn't really look like a rematch because 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:15.959 it was a changed since that. You remember the play 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:17.440 I was watching this, I remember the last night. You 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:19.840 remember the play out of bounce to Ezekia Elliott they 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.480 got called back. Yeah, I was gonna write about that today, 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.320 the one where he would or Dak rolled was right, 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.400 and Zeke kind of kept drifting, drifting, drifting and then 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:29.359 went out bouncing hit but it was a touchdown that 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.000 got called back. You remember, I didn't sure. I mean 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:34.919 that was remember that play? It was one yard touch 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.520 oh yeah, called back. Uh. He had another fumble that 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.080 they lost, and I think the game was out of 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:41.800 reach kind of at that point. It was about twenty 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:45.000 four to six. Sure, I think Dak was picked off 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:48.680 when a ball bounced off Michael Gallops and yeah, and 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:53.440 one off of Flake charge. Yeah. Yeah, really wasn't a 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:59.680 great and the game was out of reach. But they 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.400 had the chances in that game. They just you know, 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.000 as much as their offense was struggling at that point, 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.000 I think they can look back and you know, the 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:12.160 touchdown they gave up to Locket, I think their coverage 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.600 was okay in that situation. So you know, there's some 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.359 correctable stuff from week three. I'm looking back at my 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.120 play by play on it, Cavan Frazier late on the 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:24.440 Tyler Lockett. Yeah, yeah, it was a busted coverage. Busted coverage. 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:26.800 They had two busted coverages. Yeah, I gave up two 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.760 big plays. But I just I forgot about the Zeke 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.040 play that went out of bounce should have been a touchdown. 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.359 That was the one where I was like going, oh, well, 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.080 oh that's right, that's right, that happened. Yeah, you know, 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:38.920 but anyway, I mean, yeah, you're right, Rob, I think 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.960 they had some opportunities. They're good, you knew played really 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:45.080 well in that game, Sean Lee. Going back and watching 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.520 that game, maybe maybe this is one of those things 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:52.120 where they you know, they can't get to linebackers, you know, 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.440 guards and sinners can't get the linebackers, and we see 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.960 vander Esh and Smith and Lee and those guys run 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.160 into the football stopping the run game and stuff like that. Yeah, 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:04.440 well that's kind of where I need to think of. 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.640 This thing needs to go. I wonder if they're resting 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.400 offensive lineman or those guys that are really hurt. I 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.800 think they're really hurt because d Dwayne Brown and Jr. 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:16.039 Sweezy haven't practiced yet this week. I don't think Sweezy's 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.240 gonna play, and Fluker's listed as ye. I think they 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.640 expect Flucker back. Yeah, but they've they've had to in 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:26.200 the In the Arizona game, they had Aya Fetti, who 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.360 started at right tackle in the game that these two 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:31.640 teams met last time, he was the right tackle. He 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:35.320 was playing right guard, and then and then ethan postic 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.840 postic practice yesterday. I know he didn't practice the day 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.680 before post anybody got there. I didn't see their injury 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.960 report yesterday. It did not come with our emailed it 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.480 with the Cowboy injury, Yeah, but it came later. I 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:53.600 didn't see us if he practiced then, because I don't 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.600 think he practiced the day before. He had like a 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.960 foot or an ankle injury that he was dealing with. 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.640 But he was the starter at left guard. They're trying 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:05.240 to replace Sweezy who's got a foot injury. I believe 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.360 is yeah, he's not. He's not on their injury okay 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.200 at all. Yeah, so keep an eye on that. That 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.480 could be. And I remember and the last time these 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:17.200 two teams made Justin Britt the center didn't play right. 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.960 Joey Hunt was the center from TCU. But Britt Britt 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.480 is Brits. Okay, he's okay. So yeah, there's there's a 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.120 little little shaken up going on with their offensive line 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.240 right now. And Chris Carson did have a one hundred 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.440 yards rushing against the Cowboys the first time or on 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.120 a million carries, yes, hundred and two was it? Yep, 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.880 it was. I've got the exact number. Hey, Cowboys did 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:39.520 a great job in that game of going back and 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.119 watching the run fits. I was talking about the linebackers 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.279 and how and Tyron Crawford had a really good game. 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:50.160 Tyron Crawford playing defensive tackle. Tycho Charlton was the starter 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:54.640 at right defensive end this game. Crawford's gonna be back practice. 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.480 I'm sure Micky's gonna tell us in the injury report. 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.760 All those guys were limited yesterday. But I feel like 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:02.599 that these guys are going to line up and play 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:06.760 the Martins, the Smiths, the Crawfords, all those guys. Carson 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.960 was thirty two for one h two. Yeah. Yeah. Questions 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.159 to Rod and Arronelli yesterday were about how do you 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.400 slow him down this time? And they did a pretty 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.159 good job I did. I think his longest rush was 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:21.200 for thirteen yards. Yeah, And I think they've only given up. 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.680 They've had one one hundred yard two run one hundred 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.080 yard rushers against them this season. I think they had 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.760 to run thirty nine times to gain one hundred and 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.400 thirteen yards as a team. But as you said yesterday, 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:34.359 make that they kind of did what they wanted to do. 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.719 They were persistent with it, Yeah, and it kept the 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.440 Cowboys off the field. Yeah. And then they hit the 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.160 two big plays ball game yep. And they got the 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:45.240 two turnovers, you know, or the two they got two 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.760 pass interceptions in a fumble recovery and they won that 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.520 battle as well. So yeah, it was That's been their 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.640 recipe for success all season really a lot of time. Yeah, 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.880 they have very We've talked about yesterday. These are two 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.760 very evenly matched teams, and it could very well come 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.719 down to how well your quarterback plays against it. I 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.400 worry about what I worry about what their quarterback is. 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:07.880 You capture him in the pocket and then you go 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.200 over the top of him and now he's running you 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.560 know where they had some of those. That's this was 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.400 a game also too. Remember early in the game they 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.720 had the terrible roughing the passer penalley against Tyrn Crawford 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.160 for hitting for hitting. Uh but but they were able 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.360 to get pressure, you know, they're able to get pressure 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.480 that the Seahawks were struggling with their protection at the time, 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:31.000 and they got some good hits on on Russell Wilson. 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.840 I just worry about that, Oh, Randy, Randy Gregory, he's free, 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:36.600 he's over the and he goes over the top, you know, 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.360 Wilson ducks and now he's running around and all that. 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.400 You know, that loose play, that's the kind of stuff 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.559 that you get. You know, most quarterbacks like Eli Manning 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.040 get him in that situation, just crumbles into the ground. 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.480 This guy kind of ducks and dodges and you know, 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:53.080 bales out and you know those are the kinds of 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:54.960 things you worry about playing this cat. You know. The 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:59.320 weird thing with Russell Wilson, He's only completed two eighty passes. Yeah, 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:04.760 running the ball, but he's thrown thirty five touchdown pass 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:09.760 second in the league at eight point two percent touchdown 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:13.400 passes to completions or attempts. I don't know how they 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.040 which one it is, but that's amazing. So it's a 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.760 lot of big plays. Obo is huge, flat like they're 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:23.080 I mean, he's thrown for thirty four forty eight dacks, 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:26.239 thrown for thirty eight eighty five. Dack's completed three hundred 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.640 and fifty six to his two eighty. But his quarterback 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:31.760 rating right now is third in the league at one 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:35.280 ten point nine. He's only got seven interceptions against those 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:39.319 thirty five touchdowns. And this the Seahawks have only only 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:43.360 lost four fumbles this year, so just eleven giveaways on 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:47.800 the entire season, so pretty efficient. They're plus fifteen on 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:49.640 turnalways at lead the league in rushing too, if I'm 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.120 not mistaken, right, they have the most yards. Yeah, yeah, 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.960 So that's kind of their recipe right now. That's what 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:58.040 they The biggest problems that they had the first two 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.679 weeks of the season is they couldn't protect, they couldn't run, 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.600 and now they seem like that they've kind of righted 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.280 the ship. They're they're like the Cowboys at four and 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.280 five one time Cowboys at three and five, and you know, 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.559 found their way along the you know, started the last 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.400 three weeks. Carson has said this yesterday, He's got one 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.920 hundred nineteen yards Russian last three weeks. You know, that's 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:21.559 that's that's that's the recipe. Run the football, play action, 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.560 get the quarterback on the move, let him make easy 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.960 throws when he can make them. It's kind of funny 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:31.000 they've they've basically, excuse me, rush for five hundred more 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.320 yards and the Cowboys, and the Cowboys have thrown the 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.920 ball five hundred more yards than they have. So there's 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:40.000 ways to win games. It's not about slinging it around, 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:44.600 you know, scoring forty points a game, or having uh, 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.360 you know, forty completions or whatever. But if you play 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.640 efficient football, and that's what you need to do in 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.160 the playoffs to be able to win. They have gone 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:56.040 back to what was their recipe for success when they 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:58.560 were going to Super Bowls. The last couple of years 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.520 they ranked around twentieth in the league and rushing yards, right, 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:03.520 And now they're up to the top again. And they 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.640 had a four year period there and two of those 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.440 years they went to Super Bowls with Marshawn Lynch and 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:11.640 they would be in the top three in the league 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:15.520 and rushing all those years, right, And Pete Carroll and 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.800 Pete Carroll made no bones about it coming into this season. 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:22.040 I heard several interviews with him where he's like, we're 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.720 gonna run the football. We're going to run the football. 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:29.200 If you look at Daryl Bebel was the OC before 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.120 and they got away from what, you know, what was 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.600 great for them. And then you get Brian Schottenheimer. Will 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.320 the name Schottenheimer will tell you and you know his 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:42.720 DNA is his father's DNA was run the football, running 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.959 how our running play physical, be that type of a team. 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.640 And I think that's why Pete Carroll it took. It 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.360 took Russell Wilson in this offense some time before they 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:55.360 really got used to Brian Schottenheimer and the way he 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.880 was calling games. But they're they're on track right now. 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:01.600 Kansas City. I mean, they scored a lot of points 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:03.679 against Kansas Cya, but I thought Kansas City and watching 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.800 the game, did some pretty good things against Russell, keeping 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.079 him in the pocket on some of those throws. I 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.160 broke down one of the plays for Dallas Cowboys dot 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.079 Com and how you play him, you know, you keep 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.240 the rush wide, but affect the middle of the pocket, 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.360 get his eye level down. You could see him kind 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.200 of looking at the rush a little bit. You know, 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:21.920 when he's when he's looking at the rush, he's not 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.640 looking at those guys running open downfield. I think that's 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.120 what the key for the Cowboys is to try and 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.120 find a way to affect him in the pocket when 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:31.600 he does throw the football and getting his eye level 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.520 down make him have to deal with that and so 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:38.120 he can't see Baldwin and lock It and more and 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:40.520 those guys running down the field kind of like breeze, 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.120 kind of like when you face back short quarterback, keeping 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.440 him in the well and to your point about the 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.040 rushing attack for Seattle styles make fights. I mean the 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.520 Cowboys have been i think fifth in the league in 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.840 rushing defense all season long, in the top five. And 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.760 as as Marinelli said yesterday, you know they stubbed their 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:02.120 toe against Indianapolis. Yeah, physically beat up. Yeah, just just 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:06.040 couldn't control you know, front seven, Yeah, got controlled. And 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.400 other than that, they've been solid, and I think it 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.400 speaks a lot to you know, the overall team speed 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:13.240 they have on defense. They've got a lot of guys 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.600 that can float on the ball quickly, and they're getting 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.040 production out of their tackles too. They are helping the 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.679 linebackers make plays. We've talked about Antoine Woods this season 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.440 a lot, Crawford when he's been in there, MALIEK. Collins 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.959 when he's been healthy. It's been a team effort and 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:27.800 it's going to be a challenge this week. Malie Collins 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.280 didn't play the last time these two teams met. That's right, 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:32.640 you know that that's gonna be a big factor there 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.520 because he is a big body guy that they're going 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:36.600 to have to deal with. And they're kind of a 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.160 catch and steer and push team. They're not really going 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.160 to come off and blow. You know, Indianapolis will come 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.360 off the ball and get into and climb in and 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.840 move you around. This bunch is a little bit more 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.440 of a catch steer and then let the backs make 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:53.640 the cuts off off those blocks. You know. I remember 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.840 doing this when when the Cowboys played the Seahawks in September. 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.640 Just comparing Russell Wilson and Dak Prescott. I mean, Russell 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:04.319 Wilson is what the Cowboys are hoping Dak Prescott becomes, right, sure, 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:08.160 because if you look at early in his career, he 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:11.480 was okay, but they were winning because they played so 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:16.160 so well defensively and they ran the football. And now 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.520 like what is he in his seventh year? About five 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.480 years in six years in suddenly he's become a lot 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:26.600 more efficient throwing the ball. U and he can still 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.760 beat you running the ball. So, uh yeah, I think 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.400 you're exactly right. It's some would tell me he's run 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:36.280 less than Dak. He has sixty seven carries this year, 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.760 Dac has seventy five. It's pretty close. Yeah. And how 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:41.480 many yards does Dak have? Do you have it in 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.720 front of you? Yeah, he's rushed for three oh five 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.080 and he's like three twenty or something like that. He's 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:50.320 rushed for three seventy six okay, six touchdowns. But how 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:54.640 about this, he's been sacked fifty one time exact. Oh no, 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.960 that's that's that's the problem too. They that's what I'm saying, 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:00.600 you're looking at mirror teams because they both had issues. 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.280 They both have issues. I mean, he got sacked six 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:08.200 times against Arizona. Top three teams that have been sacked 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.600 this season all are in the playoffs. On the playoffs. 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:15.240 Houston is one of them. Sixty two league, Yeah, Deshaun Watson, 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.600 and then you got Dak Prescott fifty four is at 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:24.240 what fifty sixty six, and then Russell Wilson's at fifty one. Yeah, 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:27.440 that's unusual. So but here's the deal with those guys 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:31.320 is they're extend the exactly they're guys that want to 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.480 extend plays, and they're so confident that they can get 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.880 out of trouble that sometimes they can't. And and so 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.200 instead of throwing the ball away, they're they're going to 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:43.160 try to use their athletic ability to keep the play alive, 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.480 and it catches up with him or the fields or 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:47.160 the flip side Mick is what you get on the 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:50.440 Beasley play thirty two. Yes, exactly. It's the Giants. That's 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.040 that's the that's the highs and the lows of of 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:56.560 having a quarterback who I mean, it's an advantage at 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:57.960 the end of the day to have a quarterback with 0:14:58.000 --> 0:14:59.920 that type of mobility, or maybe with that you just 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.680 should be in fourth downmode all the time. It's like, well, 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:04.640 I can't take a sack here, might as well just 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:06.880 throw it up and see what happens. You know. The 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:10.320 other thing they're similar Ish Dack's been intercepted eight times. 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:13.160 He's been intercepted seven times. Yeah, well that's and think 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:16.240 about I bet at least three or four Dack's interceptions 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:19.120 have been dropped passes into interceptions. Oh he had he 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:21.280 had to pick six going against him the other day 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:26.200 if he got to go to the right church. Nors 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.600 Jenkins had that one right and they right now, Oh, 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.160 no doubt, Yeah, yeah, that's exactly right. Sometimes you had 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.800 to be lucky that way. It helps Patty's day. Yeah, 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.280 Patty's day. Like in hockey, sometimes you hit a post, 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:38.600 sometimes you hit the post. Hey, let me ask you 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:42.040 this though, is the biggest bigger concern than the past 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:48.200 protection this week or the run defense um pass protection, 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.080 because because we've seen it all years, we've seen it 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:54.280 and look, I mean, what can Sulphilo do today? Yeah, 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:56.320 that's gonna be a key, that's a question mark. I mean, 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:58.400 you know, Garrett said yesterday he's got a couple of 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:00.280 days left to kind of get ready and he's moving 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.080 around better, but he hasn't practiced this week. And Connor 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:05.320 Williams has looked better at guard when he's gone in there. 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:07.920 I think what you have to hope is he could 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:11.520 at least dress and be the backup guy. That's kind 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:13.280 of what I was thinking, because I'm okay with Connor 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.200 Williams going in there, but yeah, if he can dress 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:19.840 and be the backup guy. And now Redmond wasn't that bad. No, 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.360 but you'd rather have the big body standing there. But 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.960 to play Seattle, it might be better to have Connor 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.760 Williams play because he can move. Because he can move 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.440 and where Seattle. And then this is just me watching 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:34.280 them play. I was watching Kansas City. I love to 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:37.880 watch Kansas Cy's offense because of their quarterback. But where 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.480 Kansas City had success was pulling the center, pulling the guard, 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.280 pulling the tackle and kind of getting them to go 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:46.560 one direction and then take the ball back the other, 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:50.360 you know, counters and boots and things like that. They 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:53.320 had some really good success running the ball that way, 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.360 and maybe having Connor Williams in the game running on 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:59.600 the edge or out in space might be better than 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.040 having Sue Philo in there, you know, who's gonna be 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.800 a little bit more of a boxy square guy. But 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:09.680 they've won how many games, win seven games with Suephilo playing? Yeah? 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:12.840 Seven of eight? Right, So I mean run game in 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:16.840 particular took off. Yeah, yeah, I mean the protection too. 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.760 A little bit better though, right, yeah, a little bit better, 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.840 a little bit. Yeah, it's been here and there at times. 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:25.600 Some of it's been you know, Tyrn's been banged up, 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:29.480 Zack's been banged up. Both those guys back practicing this week. 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.920 That's good. They'll be ready to go. I think I'm 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:35.280 glad this game's at home. Dealing with that crowd up there, 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:37.240 you know, I mean you could you just watching the game, 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.640 you could tell what a struggle it is to communicate 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:43.200 with the offensive line. Well, they need a little docy 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:46.200 dough on that one and make those guys struggle exactly 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:49.119 that they can't get off on the snap exactly like 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.400 it causes. Oh, you've got some rushers, you know, you've 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:53.880 got rushers like they do. I mean, that's that's that's 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:56.760 a pretty even that's a pretty even deal right there. 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.920 They've you've got a dynamic rusher, they've got one two, 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:02.160 you know. And maybe they're not going to be able 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:04.000 to see the ball well when they throw it because 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:07.000 there's going to be that big white background in the dance. 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:13.280 Do you think that's going to stimulate the crowd all white? Yep, 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:17.800 watch out. I don't know. Owls will be waving. Yeah, 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:20.400 just need to be loud. And it's a Saturday night 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:24.200 those old reunion rowdies. Man, it's just not baton rouge. 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:28.720 It's not not baton rouge. If it was baton rouge, 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.119 I'd be really happy about that. But no. Could you 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:34.720 imagine seeing ninety thousand people jumping up and down in 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:38.119 the state Absolutely, I think I bet it's never happened. 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.080 They able to try to do the wave, but they 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.760 won't jump up and down the crowd. The crowd has 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.280 been better this year though now it has it has 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:47.520 been better. And trust me, I could be critical. I'm 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.800 from Dallas. We are front runners. You know, we need 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.119 to suck it up a little bit better and know 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:56.359 what's going on with the situational football, and you know, 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:58.879 and be loud. I just told those guys on the 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:00.800 fan when they were talking about the crowd, I said, 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:03.280 you know, I can go take you back to the 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:08.240 mid eighties at Texas Stadium, late eighties, and people acted like, okay, 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:11.640 entertain me. And if you entertain me, I've been excited, sure, 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:15.120 but I'm not excited before that. You're in those noon 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:18.679 games at Texas Stadium. I was like, these people just 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.240 come from church. Yeah, you're not wrong about that, mickey, 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:24.200 But you know what. The one of Amari's touchdowns was 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:27.040 it Philly, the overtime game at Philly. That's the loudest 0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:30.520 I've ever heard that building, That that place exploded. Well, 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:32.800 that's what it needs. But that's what they put off football. 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:34.720 I mean, you know this is my saying. It's it's 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:36.840 Brian's right. I think it's been better. It's been allowed, 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:39.520 it's been better. But you know, again, being from Dallas, 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:41.560 we need to get off ore, you know what, and 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:44.560 and and get and get a little bit more involved. 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:47.240 You need to bring in that import that song from 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:51.680 LSU to jump around.
