Dak Prescott coming down here to the podcast studio. 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:58.680 He will talk to Dave Brian Schottenheimer says he has 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:02.000 spoken to Mike mc arthy, spoke to him yesterday, also 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:03.080 spoke to him today. 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:07.160 So he says it's all full go all right. 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.679 Expects Mike to be on the sideline call and play, 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:13.240 so says everything's ready to go. Dak Prescott said yesterday 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:15.160 they had already basically put the game playing in. 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.399 So they're ready rock, They're ready to roll. 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.760 So that's the best dudes all day. I mean, because 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:22.720 you know this offensive is rolling. But a lot of 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:24.720 it has to do when you know, Big MIC's on 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.119 the sidelines, you know, dealing them out out there. So 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.120 with him back on the sidelines hopefully on Sunday, has 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:31.040 got to be huge news. 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:37.120 Are you super clean? I appreciate that. Testify again earlier, 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:42.840 you know something earlier. You know, I got that Toledo 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.319 Blue midnight. 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:50.480 Without ripping, ripping, you know, outside the university. But when 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:57.640 it comes to a pocket ripper here, good recognized. I 0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:58.280 appreciate that. 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:00.600 You know, yeah, shout out the big Mic. You look good, 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:01.760 you look good. So thank so. 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.640 Carthy is healing from the surgery just fine, and uh hekma. 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:09.400 They expect him to be okay, a little discomfort. You 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:11.360 spoke about having the surgery. 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.800 But he'd ready to go, man, I would expect for 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:15.079 Mike to be ready to go. 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.520 I mean, everybody know what time it is. Why would 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:17.960 you miss this? 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.760 If anything, the only thing I'm worried about is is 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.280 Mike gonna be upstairs? That he's gonna be downstairs. That's 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.800 the only things that I'm worried about. What and what 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:27.720 vantage point is he gonna be watching the game from 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:28.320 He will be. 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:32.200 On the sidelines, He'll be at work, tomorrow. He's going 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:34.000 to be here at the start tomorrow, is doing zoom 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.280 meetings talking to people, so he will be on the 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:40.040 sidelines tomorrow. It's just as you went through discomfort. That's 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:41.359 all it's really gonna be. 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:44.320 Is it risky because like when you did George, like 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.639 because somebody runs off the sideline, like. 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.280 We see this issue because it is stitches. Well, I 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:50.880 don't know how what he did. 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:52.000 Mine was I. 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.280 Did have stitches, so they did tell me to lay 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:55.880 it down for a few days, make sure I didn't 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.760 do any string you what's activity stuff like that? This 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.160 is the NFL, and they got a lot of different 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:02.880 stuff than the doctor that I went to. Is I 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.200 wasn't with the Cowboys at the time. I don't know 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.359 what type of special treatment Big Mike got. I see 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.720 Aaron Rodgers out here. We're doing what he doing. So 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:14.519 Mike doinges Mike ready security in front of me on 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:15.000 the sidelight. 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:22.079 They all over here taking all the hits. Cable gonna 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.240 be right next to Mike. So we had dom last 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:29.360 week and now we got Dohn versus Cable at halftime. 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.760 I'm Mayor Ford, I got my money. Okay, you push 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:38.240 anybody push Jaylen hurt for what heck wants him in 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:43.440 the game again the hotel. So that's the biggest. 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.000 The biggest news today is that the head coaches is 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.200 progressing just fine and expect him to be there when 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:53.160 they take on the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday night, and this 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:57.240 is a game they have to get see. Lamb spoke 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.960 about the guys on the team while you know, Mike, 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:01.640 it's been a way just to keep on doing what 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.240 you're doing. I did ask Brian Schottenheimer, who filled in 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:09.760 for Mike McCarthy today, about the penalty situation and he acknowledged, says, 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:13.360 you know, post snap things happen, but the pre snap 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.680 where they've got to improve on. And ed Warder of 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.080 ESPN asked a question I was going to ask him, 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:20.719 but he hit it first and did an eloquent job 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:21.040 in asking. 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:22.520 It was about Terren Steele. 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:27.360 They still got worked over the man, and Shottenheimer said, 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.640 I'm not gonna give away you know some things that 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.640 we did, but we looked at it and we feel we. 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:34.240 Feel we have some confidence to steal. 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:38.320 And he says, obviously there could be times when linemen 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:39.960 are gonna be in one on one situations, but they 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:43.840 feel like they have a plan to to try and 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:47.719 negate the floodst. 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.680 Listen, and this is what this happens all the time 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.279 with players. Okay, you go out there and then you 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.800 get the proof the time and consistency. Right, that's what 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.320 Terrence Still gave us, right, and that's why he ended 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.320 up getting paid. And then you go out and you 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.320 have a rough couple goals in and then we forget 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.400 that he's coming off acl injury, he trying to get 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.320 back on and then all of a sudden, the guy 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.680 across from him may have just had a really good game, right, 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.599 or you were slipping all right, but it's the time 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.000 proof of consistency would tell us that nine times out 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:19.800 of ten, Terce still is going to go out there 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:21.800 and he's going to be a serviceable tackle with the 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.560 tackle that we watched him become after he had the 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.880 bad season when Nolan in them was here. So I 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:29.800 can chalk it up to a bad game until proof 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.640 time and consistency says, hey, this is a pattern of 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.920 every time we get against a certain caliber of defensive lineman, 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.520 this same performance comes out. And I don't think that's 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.279 been the case so far. With Terran Steel. Nobody forgot. Yeah, 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:45.320 nobody forgot. It's just you don't care. You see a 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.600 guy getting beat, and it's a difference between getting beat 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:49.280 and then getting beat like a drum. 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.880 It was getting beat like a drum, and. 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:53.920 You were sitting there going all right at this some point, 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:58.960 help him, yo, Chip, do something. But Sweats, I mean, 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.560 here is this guy is doing that to everybody. His 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.040 jump off the ball is impeccable, and they know exactly 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:07.120 whether to line him up. And I mean, look, the 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.800 play calling was still good. You were still in the 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.200 position to win the game even with all of that 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.600 going on. And I would say that the offensive line 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.880 since Philly has been playing a hell of a lot 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:21.120 better in that department. Okay, but you know what they present. 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.719 They present a problem up front. And I believe that 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.159 this offensive line, with the momentum that they have coming 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.080 into this game, especially at home, I expect for them. Man, 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.200 we need to give them a big dose of the 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.640 running game. And that to me, stops a guy like 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.200 that from jumping and getting up the field. What do 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.080 you say rushing the pass is or what privilege you 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.680 earn that right? And you saw versus the forty nine 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.520 is what they were doing. Once they started running the ball. 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.240 That slowed all of that down. Now guys are now 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.760 having to start thinking about what's coming behind me, what's 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.200 happening in the running game. But when you can pin 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.360 your ears back and come after a guy, then letk 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:58.640 it takes all the mystery out of it. 0:06:58.760 --> 0:06:59.919 Yeah, it's all about adjustment. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.040 I mean, that's what we saw last game when that 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.200 was when these two teams went together. You know, Philly 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.320 came out in the second half and adjusted and the 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.240 Cowboys didn't, and they left some guys on the island 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.600 like Terren Steel to go ahead and get beat out there. 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:12.440 But what I want to know from y'all is if 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:15.480 when you add another guy in for chipping, tight ends, 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.040 running backs, whatever the case may be, will that slow 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.640 down your explosiveness of your offense? Because if you look 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:22.720 at it, this team loves to get when they're in 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:24.840 the eleven personnel, they love to get everybody out, all three 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:26.800 wide receivers, a tight end. They even got you know, 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.480 Poler coming out here and there. Will that slow down 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.600 the production? Will that you know, force Dak to kind 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:33.680 of hold the ball a little bit more and gain 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.200 it for that defensive line on the other side of 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:36.880 the ball. I don't know, because when they have their 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.280 most success, it's when all these guys are getting out 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.520 Bergs holding the middle. These guys are hitting you know, 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:43.920 intermediate routes, and that's a tough thing to do when 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:45.560 you when you got people in there kind of chipping. 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:47.760 The answer, the answer to that question for me is 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.320 get your guy Brandon Cooks involved in the game, right, 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:55.160 because it's harder for you for the defense to stop 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.760 you from getting those explosive plays when you have more 0:07:57.800 --> 0:07:59.800 than one guy that's involved in the in the explosive 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:02.240 play game, right, Ceedee Lamb at that in the last 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.600 game was our only guy who was there to give 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.760 you exposive plays out you know, in terms of vide receivers. 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.560 If you get a guy like Brandon Cooks involved, whoever 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:12.840 it is right, Like I know, the Brandon Cooks thing 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:14.720 has been the thing for me. I don't care if 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:16.760 you can get somebody else involved in the game where 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.480 they're making an impact on the game. Tobert how you 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.000 got the pass interference of last game. If you can 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.440 make the defense respect somebody else besides Ceedee Lamb, then 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.720 you have an opportunity to bring a guy in and say, Okay, 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.520 you're gonna chip because these other these other guys are 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:33.480 still getting off. But if you don't, and it's just 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.600 ceedee lamb. And then now you also have to keep 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:37.960 a guy in. Now you put yourself in a predicament 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:40.520 where the defense can dictate to you what what you're 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.040 gonna have to where you're gonna throw a ball at 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.640 We gotta put Fergie to work. We gotta put Ferguson 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:48.040 to work. And I think with the way that I mean, 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.760 like I'm comparing Shannahan at his offensive play call into 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.760 what we do. And all I'm saying is I started 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.199 seeing some of those screens that we had for Ferguson, 0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:00.240 like he was rip, like the yak yah was incredible. 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:01.880 And I think if you get a guy like that 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.720 on a delayed screen or something like that, that may 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.280 give the impression, hey, I'm running, then boom right over 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.960 the top, just something to make him think about slowing 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:13.440 that pass rush down. And you're tightening. You're seeing Brandon Cooks. 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.000 I'm saying my tight end being able to at least 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.959 give the impression that I'm chipping you. And then releasing out, 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.280 you know, to catch passes. So what do y'all think 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:22.920 about the ring game? 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:23.120 Though? 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.880 As we're talking right, because I know we keep bringing 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:27.760 up like, man, you gotta be able to run the 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:29.920 ball against this team and it will help you do X, 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:32.240 Y and Z. Do you think that this is the 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:37.360 game where we play against the defense where they're. 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:37.680 Good at stopping to run. 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:39.600 All right, But we go in there with our offensive 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:41.960 line and we feel comfortable enough to say, hey, Tony Pollard, 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:43.640 this is the game when you get ten million dollars 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.360 and we did the franchise tam let go to Zeke. 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.160 This is the type of game where you get it 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:48.880 and you say, we expect you to have the ninety 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:50.199 seven or one hundred yards. 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.040 Do you think that is a possibility this week? It 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:52.520 has to be. 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.559 I think when you go with this offense and you 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.000 going against a team like Philadelphia, you gotta be balanced. 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.480 Even if it's just Pollard and Rico getting three yards 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.160 in a cloud of dust, you know they may only 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.959 end up twenty attempts for you know, sixty yards only 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.280 averaging three yards of carry. But if you go in 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:09.960 there and that defense has to respect that, now, I 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:11.920 assume you know, one of these new linebackers are going 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:13.360 to go in there shack and all you know, one 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.280 of those two guys are gonna be in there. If 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.800 they're getting peppered with that run, they're gonna start biting 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:19.240 up a little bit. And I know that's what Dak 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.400 Prescott is really good as that play action passed. So 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.520 to me, even if it's not producing great numbers, you 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.760 gotta be consistent with the ground game just to keep 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.840 that that defense honest, because we all see when you 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.400 allow them to pend their ears back, they're getting After 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:33.719 Dak Prescott, he was able to use his legs and 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:35.959 get out of a lot of crazy situations in there 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.400 and make plays, but eventually it caught up to him. 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.720 So to me, you gotta have that balance in there 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:42.640 or that defensive line is gonna pin their ears back. 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:43.120 Man. 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.280 First, first, what five six games of the year you 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.520 were anticipating because Mike was the play call of that 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.800 he was gonna run the ball and he did to 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.480 a fault and then it was just like, oh, tyner, yo, 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.360 we gotta start doing something different. Dak started, you know, 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.680 going back and shotgun. There are very few times that 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.920 they use TP and like the pistol formation, which I 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.360 think may benefit him just giving him that that uh, 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.880 that distance. But you come down to see I mean, 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.400 you answered your own question, because yeah, you at some 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:15.040 point your running game has to be significant in salt 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.040 away games, especially when you get a lead. 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.520 Now, I don't care. I'm gonna tell I don't care. 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.000 You throw it on first throw on look, put the 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.400 ball in number four his hands and allow him. 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:28.520 I know it's something you've been talking about. Do we 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:30.120 go to that? Do we put the ball in his hands? 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:30.160 Do? 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.640 But you've got to You've got to rely on your 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.439 quarterback to make the right decisions, but also on your 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.720 offensive play caller to put you in the right positions 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:39.880 because I think San Francs excuse me, I think the 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:43.400 Philly is going to try and take away those big plays. 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:45.640 They're gonna try and take CD away. And we've been 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.040 asking that question. What do you do when CD has 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:49.720 a double team? What do you do when they're trying 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.000 to bracket these guys off? Man, you gotta find a 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:52.880 way to get it going. 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.120 Use the pass to set up to run. Okay, that's 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.360 that's what you should do. I mean the forty nine 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.439 ers use the run to set up their pass. But 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:04.120 you're you're, you're different, and you're they've got a bad 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:05.199 defensive backfield. 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.720 Shit did change, though? When did that change? When you 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.000 started saying setting up the run with the pass? When 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:11.480 did that change? 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.480 You say, probably around that bye week, you know, and 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.080 they started looking at d NCD's like, I don't have 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.840 the ball, and then we talked more about Cooks. I mean, 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.360 it was just kind of evident that let's flip this 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:25.000 thing there, and Tony's not gonna make the Pro Bowl 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:25.360 this year. 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:26.800 You know, he's not gonna follow that up here. 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.720 And I don't think that's anything that I look on 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.439 him and say he can't play anymore, he fell off 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:34.160 any kind of have people looked at Zeke, But I 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.600 just think the strength of this team is Dak pushing 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:38.599 the ball down the field, but use that pass to 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.640 set up the run. I mean, for years, that's what 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.120 Bill Walsh did with the forty nine ers and how 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.600 he operated. So I think that's just what they do 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:50.360 what they do here. And Mike's never been a big 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.640 run guy, and you just go back in his history, 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:54.800 he's about throwing the ball. So do what you do 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.080 but use it to set up that run. I think 0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:00.199 when you talked about getting Tony Pollard out why and 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:01.400 on some. 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.000 Screen gaate just get him outside. 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.360 Let Tony do some of those things that made him 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:07.600 the Pro Bowl running back last year versus let Rico 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:08.199 doubt will do it. 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:13.040 Let Tony get out here. And we haven't spoke. 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:18.640 A whole lot about those big Georgia offensive Lindman Philly took. Yeah, 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.760 defensive blind. They they they've had some moments, and they've 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.360 had some moments. You've been able to, you know, get 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:27.360 some things done against them, but that that back end 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:30.000 is bad, and so you got to figure out how 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:31.640 do you get to that back end to set up 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.640 that set up that use that pass, set up that run. 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.840 I like to talk about Ferguson here. At some point 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.320 in time, if Terrence Steele can't get it done, they're 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.439 gonna need to put schoolmacher over there and help him block. 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.760 By the way, Sean McEwan put on I r ankle, 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:48.679 don't know what happened, but uh. 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:56.960 He Hindy shot coming back? Which one? Which one? That's man? 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.760 Let me do that. The X Files music playing right now. 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.560 If you do you do you still get your your 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:07.360 check cutting half. 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:10.439 That's how it was when when when we was first 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:11.600 you was like, that's a. 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.959 I don't know you got paid. I don't know check cut. 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:17.160 He don't even know what. 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:21.040 You don't even know. 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:25.440 Get off the sun right, you know the reason you 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:31.520 don't know was gone. 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:36.160 So, man, MacCarthy have a service? Who who who told 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:40.280 me you? Hey, hey hey, it's a little came up. 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:44.800 To remember when the dudes, when the up temple offense 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.280 first came in into the league, calling them and dudes 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.040 had to get that sign from the from the sideline 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.560 to be like, oh yeah, like you see six dudes, 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:56.840 we need you to do you services. 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:01.840 Take a fall damn, just like you know you pull 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.480 them out the weight room. How does a conversation like 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:04.880 that go? 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.280 Man, Oh, that's gotta be tough, because especially if you 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:11.440 if nothing's really bothering, I don't know. 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.240 I'm gonna say something really wrong with him, because I 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:14.360 don't even want to know. I'm gonna say. 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.000 I'm gonna say something really wrong with him, and it 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.000 happenstance that it just happened at that time. But I 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:20.680 do want to ask a question about Tony poul because 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:22.600 I remember we had. We had a conversation about CD 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.400 lamb in the thirteen hundred yards and how many catches 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:30.360 and stuff I want to know for look from where 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.680 Tony poll is right now, all right, expectation for when 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:37.120 you finished Week eighteen, all right, what is a successful 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:41.600 season for Tony poler based on what happened last year? 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:44.680 Where you say, Okay, Tony Paula's gonna be the guy.
