I know Ron Rivera is about to 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:16.240 get fired and maybe he wanted to go ahead and 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:21.399 do the love you you know, so I did check. 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:23.600 I checked with my Washington contact on it. He's like, dude, 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:24.360 these dudes. 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:29.320 These dudes don't care, you know, flight book like they 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:30.040 trust to healthy. 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.160 Get up this thing live you get ready. But anyway, heck, 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.440 I want to start with you, my man, because the 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:42.640 Cowboys are about to win the n f C East. 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:47.360 Was coming. 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:52.640 We've been talking about all this five we've been talking 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:54.680 about you know, five dollars, but we've been on the 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.160 same page when we talk about the fact that the 0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:00.920 Cowboys need a home game. That's that's so this this 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.840 team from the beginning of the season. This team from 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:04.840 the beginning of the season. 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:13.440 That's this team, this. 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.480 Team from the beginning of the season. You go all 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.760 the way back to last season. They have not lost 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:22.160 at home since Tom Brady beat them at home first 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.840 game of the season last year. And look, this is 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.800 this is one of those things where we talked about 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.760 doctor Jacko, mister Hyde on this team home and away. 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:35.400 This is why the winning the NFC East is so important. 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.880 And I guess that's statistic about the NFC East not 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.520 having a back to back champion, since I don't know 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:45.160 what a number number is, something crazy like this is 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.639 this this division is so lopsided when it comes down 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:52.360 to who will dominate the next season. But Hey, it 0:02:52.480 --> 0:03:00.440 played out, Play it out newly and Arizona and Colin 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:05.119 Murray gave us the biggest Christmas gift New Year's gift. Hey, 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.920 we're with and I'm saying, I'm putting IF on this 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.040 because I'm not counting chickens before they had police. 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:11.280 I'm not gonna do that. 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.360 But man, we got to send them a hat in 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.560 a in a T shirt when we man, we got 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.400 to send him one of the FedEx Man, we got 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.960 to send shout out the column man, Colin Man, he's 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.079 gonna put some pressure on you.

You don't want 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.960 to get caught slipping. I know you're. 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:25.680 Got You know what I'm saying. 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.000 We're not going to get slipping with learned it from you, 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:37.599 Baseball Dusty by. 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.719 Watching me, see me, see me? Can you keep it? 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.000 Can you get us back up to day on? 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.440 You know how we thought that the season would play 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.280 out after the bye week came and just just to 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.440 see what we're because, congratulations because you did keep it 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:46.800 and you picked it from the beginning, and we was 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:47.400 laughing at you. 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:49.160 Hey, it's me. 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:50.880 Great. 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.000 You should have made that bet though I should have 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.520 made to you, I should have made twenty off the 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.400 plane and the NFC. That's how he begged you to 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:04.000 make the NF. But if they scared money, don't make money, 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.280 that's what they now. Can we be fair and say 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.320 that we still need to go ahead and win this game. Yeah, 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.599 we we have been. We have opportunities before, Like before 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.160 the game started, you go in there, you say we 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.720 got to beat Washington to make sure that we if 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.480 everything else falls in place, that we get what we 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.279 want and then go out there and fumble the bag. 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.960 So we still And that was why I captured tried 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:24.920 to capture. 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:29.080 The incentive of Washington. This number two pick is so valuable. 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.200 Chicago locked up the number one pick, so that's where 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:36.080 they're at. So you've got Washington, New England. I can't 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.279 remember who's right behind them. They've all got the same record. 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.960 But Washington can go ahead lock this thing up. And 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:45.320 the value in being number two this year is massive 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:47.960 if you want to keep it or if you want 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:48.520 to trade it. 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.080 So if I'm Josh Harris and. 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.960 Ownership, I'm going to Ron rivera, Hey man, we need 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:56.000 some young guys. 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:59.080 But what's the what's the if they do miraculously win? 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:01.000 How far down today drop? 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:01.120 Like? 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:02.520 Is it from two to all? The way you get 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:03.200 to the sixth pick? 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.279 You could be two to four? 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:09.200 You don't get it. 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.760 I got you guys in there, you know, man, because 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:12.760 watching the game last night. 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:17.159 But it's nice. I left, He's nice. You got Jane 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.040 Danis Cable. You got some guys in there. If you 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.040 looking for a quarterback, who you say? Because you already 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:23.960 know it's gonna go one, two, three and then three two. 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.080 After the combine and all that, there's gonna be another 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.880 guy to pop up who nobody ever heard of, Daniel 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:31.560 Jones and those guys, and then you're gonna end up 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:33.120 just like that if you keep fooling around. 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.800 And so my my point of being number two, Danny 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.960 is you want to have the flexing reality. You look 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:45.279 at what Chicago got last year and making that trade 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.359 with Carolina, who moved up to number one, so you 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.159 got their picking. You don't even have to be well 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.320 this year because Carolina was so bad, so you got 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.520 their picking you. But if you're sitting at number two, 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.080 you're gonna have a whole lot of power. Which is 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.479 why when I think about the Cowboy game being a 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:04.680 thirteen point favorite, Washington's got no incentive the Cowboys. 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.920 At every incidive. You know, everybody need to go out 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.400 hey man, you know you know we need you. 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:11.400 We know what you need. 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:12.720 It's going out there and do this thing. 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:17.800 See, as a player, you gonna go out there and 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:18.760 try toss that thing. 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:24.680 But he couldn't play last week. This is what ownership 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:26.560 like he'd been. He'd been not be out there, but 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.560 not be out there. This this is what ownership has 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.160 to get involved. Owners All the ownership got to do 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.200 is look at Houston when Lovey did him. It worked 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.600 out for Houston. Sure they had to make trades and 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.440 what not because Lovey didn't help him out. But if 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.560 you're a Washington's ownership, this is your ability to not 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.360 only get the number two pick, give you some options, 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.280 but you're gonna fire a gym and fire the head. 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.200 You can do a true reset. 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.680 Here because this is what Flores was beeping about in Miami. 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:58.080 That's gonna be hard to do. Cowboys should they should win, 0:07:58.160 --> 0:07:59.960 you know, just because because just on football a loan. 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.160 But it's gonna be hard to have those guys go 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:03.800 out there and not want to give it. 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:05.160 They all not want to go out there and get 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:05.480 the job. 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:10.000 Some of those dudes are playing for like we know, 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.080 we all getting released, okay, so I need to make sure. Okay, 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:19.520 So if you're in active, active or you just don't 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:19.800 get to. 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:24.760 Play that day, there are there. Management has ways to 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:26.160 go out and get it done done. 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:31.120 But heckman, there's no incentive by Washington to win, and 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.440 there's every incentive by the Cowboys to win this. 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.040 No, y'all don't trust it. I don't trust it. I 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:38.719 think I'm on the same train with y'all. And that's 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:41.080 why we can only control what we can control. We 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.520 control our guys. And that's where where I know this 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.520 thing is layered going into the last week, depending on 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:48.480 what Washington does. And it would be great if they 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.199 played the twelve o'clock and instead of playing at the 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:53.800 same time, because the decision would be made for us. 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:56.560 But you gotta go out there and take care of business. 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.600 You know, you got to win this game. Like every 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:00.839 week is just a muscle. Is this a must win? 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:04.040 This is the must win. So for the Cowboys, like, 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.600 how do you, as as Mike McCarthy being the leader 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.400 of this team, how do you layer with your team 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.360 and say, all right, we're gonna rest this guy, we're 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:11.400 gonna start this guy. 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:16.240 But he'restedodybody everybody abdy okay. 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.520 So that's what that's how it may hurt was playing. 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.800 That's all. I'm a hands on dack once again. 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.679 So when I said Washington has no no reason to 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:30.120 Dallas has every reason. Everybody playing, everybody playing, you know 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.800 better get up twenty off the plane twenty five off 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.800 the plane on this one.

And this team, I think 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:01.639 they can't. They had opportunity to see it up. We 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:03.720 all understand that coming up with this Washington thing. But 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:07.320 for me going forward, you know, Washington, hopefully we get 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:11.359 that thing knocked out whatever it is. Going forward, defensively, 0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:14.120 we got to get better in the situation. 0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:18.040 You got to I understand taking. 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:18.520 The football away. 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:22.399 Taking the football away is great, and I understand if 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:24.080 you win to turn over battle nine times out of 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:25.240 ten times, you're gonna win that game. 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:26.400 We all understand that. 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:30.600 But this is two weeks in a row now where situationally, 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:35.280 this defense has gotten got Basically, you go back to Miami. 0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:37.760 We all sat apparent and said, hey, you know, Miami 0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:39.120 that all they needed was a field goal. 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:40.920 You know, offensively, you should say, all right, man, we 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:43.040 might be able to concede that. You know, we might 0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:44.720 be able to concede that so you look at that 0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:45.880 the last draft. They need to stop. 0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:47.600 They weren't able to get to stop whatever the case 0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:50.040 may be, face mass penalty, whatever the case may be, 0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:52.600 they weren't able to get that. Stock Fast forward to 0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:56.600 last week, once again, situationally, there was an opportunity for 0:21:56.680 --> 0:21:59.720 this defense to go out there make a stop game. 0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:02.920 Oh call it a rap golf, had the whole field 0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:05.200 to drive. We should be able to make that stop. 0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:07.720 What happened we said, field goal. Yeah, that was a 0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:11.960 little push. They needed a touchdown. Not only that, you know, 0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:16.080 if I was a fit two point conversion, they had 0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:19.000 it right there as well. So to me going forward defensively, 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:21.040 because there's going to be those games in the postseason 0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:23.560 where yeah, they'll get three or four takeaways, but it 0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:26.560 might still come down to this one drive. And defensively, 0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:28.920 we saw the past two weeks for whatever reason, they 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:31.040 aren't able to get these stops, and to me, going forward, 0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:33.160 that's got to be something where you're like, hey, defense, 0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:36.359 we two minute drill, whatever the case may be, you 0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:37.960 got to be able to short that up because you're 0:22:37.960 --> 0:22:40.200 not going against bums a quarterback going from now on. 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:43.200 You know, after this Washington game, you have to yes, yeah, 0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:46.280 because I was field goal all that stuff last week ahead, 0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:48.719 you're right now ahead, and I'm watching it. I'm like 0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:50.800 I'm waiting for because I'm like, okay, now they need 0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:51.280 a touchdown. 0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:54.840 This is your opportunity. This your opportunity. 0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:56.920 You got your golf back there, defense has been playing 0:22:56.960 --> 0:22:59.600 fairly well for the game. You got an opportunity now 0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:01.120 to go out here make sure they don't score touch 0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:03.000 down and you don't get it done. And I think 0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:07.520 that is a mark like that last week was that'st 0:23:07.520 --> 0:23:09.679 two weeks in a row, like it's starting now. I'm 0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:12.640 a mark of like, hey man, I'm gonna be nervous 0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:15.200 at every two minute drill before the half at the 0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:17.639 end of the game, if we not up by nine, 0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:20.119 then I don't know what type of confidence I have 0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:22.840 in us being able to stop an offense in that 0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:25.320 type of situation, Knowing the offenses that you may be 0:23:25.400 --> 0:23:28.359 facing in the playoffs, that is something that you do 0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:30.199 need to get fixed. I don't know how, because I 0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:32.320 don't know what was called and all that stuff, but 0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:35.240 those mojo moments when you at practice and you're going 0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:37.720 through two minute drill, those are times when you have 0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:39.920 to figure out a way not to let them into 0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:42.080 the end zone because it is so much harder to 0:23:42.119 --> 0:23:44.639 score a touchdown in that situation than it is to 0:23:44.640 --> 0:23:47.000 score a field goal, and you got the players on 0:23:47.080 --> 0:23:49.679 defense to do it. I just don't know what's happened 0:23:49.680 --> 0:23:51.560 over the last two weeks when you play two of 0:23:51.560 --> 0:23:55.240 the better offenses International Football League, but you cannot give 0:23:55.320 --> 0:23:56.720 up a touchdown in that situation. 0:23:56.880 --> 0:24:01.160 But thankfully shout out to that offense, the offense. Man. 0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:03.240 That's why I said were not historically and all that stuff. 0:24:03.280 --> 0:24:05.600 Now offense has to be playing well. Both of them 0:24:05.800 --> 0:24:07.480 have to be playing well in order for us to 0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:08.560 go where we want to go. 0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:11.600 Heckman, your thoughts when you actually sent. 0:24:11.520 --> 0:24:17.000 To us the TWEETLEL Collins working out for the Cowboys today. 0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:20.880 I just think about guys like Josh Vall, how bad 0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:23.639 that whole thing must be. Will let's go the guys 0:24:23.720 --> 0:24:27.000 like that Chulee Doga, and what the offensive line coaches 0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:29.040 and just staff are dealing with right now. 0:24:29.560 --> 0:24:32.320 You're in a situation, especially with Tyler. 0:24:32.119 --> 0:24:35.960 Smith being hurt, where you're worried about the left guard position, 0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:37.480 and I think that's where it is. When you said 0:24:37.480 --> 0:24:39.399 I see him as left guard. I do too. I 0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:41.040 don't see him as a tackle. I see him as 0:24:41.040 --> 0:24:45.080 a guard, and strangely oddly enough, that's where I thought 0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:47.320 he was better suited when he came out of college 0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:49.160 when they had him at guard, but they made him 0:24:49.680 --> 0:24:52.840 a right tackle. Look, my thing is this, no matter 0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:57.560 what you do, this last game is utmost important to me. 0:24:57.960 --> 0:25:00.000 He is a guy that I know that can get 0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:02.800 give you some depth there. But I'm firmly believing in TJ. 0:25:02.960 --> 0:25:06.399 Bass at this point. The guy that said left guard, Now, 0:25:06.920 --> 0:25:09.480 I don't know about a plantar fast shitest. I know 0:25:09.520 --> 0:25:11.280 you guys have been broken up over your career, so 0:25:11.320 --> 0:25:14.399 I don't know if you've had this. Okay, okay, So 0:25:14.640 --> 0:25:16.960 but I know it's painful, you know, I know it's painful, 0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:18.840 but I know it's something that they're saying that he 0:25:18.880 --> 0:25:22.600 can deal with. My thought process on him is sit him. Okay, 0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:25.359 sit him, because I don't want to either make it worse, 0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:29.400 irritated wherever it can go. We absolutely need our all 0:25:29.760 --> 0:25:31.600 everything left guard to show up. 0:25:32.000 --> 0:25:32.720 We need that. 0:25:33.680 --> 0:25:36.760 But I was thinking about you during the game, Dog, 0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:39.960 and I said, my man, d Max, he's hanging by 0:25:39.960 --> 0:25:44.800 a thread. He's hanging by a thread with Dad Quid 0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:48.800 and that defense because because you're right situationally, you know 0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:50.919 what's going on. But it's like, come on, DQ, now, 0:25:51.000 --> 0:25:52.919 don't call that again. You know they're gonna pick up 0:25:52.920 --> 0:25:56.280 on that. Don't go man right here, you know. And 0:25:56.320 --> 0:25:59.919 it's those situations that I think I'm not I know 0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:00.680 still in DQ. 0:26:00.800 --> 0:26:01.600 We trust. 0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:03.560 You're still there. 0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:06.960 I just feel like our defense at some point the 0:26:07.000 --> 0:26:09.919 warts that they can't cover up. They have to compensate 0:26:09.960 --> 0:26:13.040 another areas taking the ball away, you gotta compensate. You 0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:16.720 gotta compensate in other areas. Because teams are understanding. Man, 0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:19.680 you light, you light up front, you light, and they're 0:26:19.680 --> 0:26:22.240 gonna and when they can take advantage of what you have, 0:26:22.359 --> 0:26:25.240 they do and you and like you just said, you're 0:26:25.280 --> 0:26:28.119 not gonna come up against any cupcake offensive lines that 0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:30.080 are gonna be able. That's gonna let you get away 0:26:30.080 --> 0:26:32.400 with that unless you're playing with the league. And I'm 0:26:32.400 --> 0:26:34.359 just saying forty points at the crib, I want to 0:26:34.400 --> 0:26:37.880 be home. Yeah, listen, I'm gonna continue to say this. Okay, 0:26:38.280 --> 0:26:39.800 you hold a team. 0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:42.280 No no, no, no, no, no listen. 0:26:42.400 --> 0:26:44.199 No. With all that being said, you're right, and you 0:26:44.240 --> 0:26:46.200 gotta be able to stop You gotta be able to 0:26:46.240 --> 0:26:46.840 stop them in. 0:26:46.760 --> 0:26:48.520 That situation in the NFL. 0:26:48.840 --> 0:26:52.520 Okay, if you are holding the team at nineteen twenty 0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:56.040 two points and you got all these weapons on offense 0:26:56.080 --> 0:26:58.400 and you you need to be able to score more 0:26:58.400 --> 0:27:02.080 than that. Okay, because because I'm still saying that, you're 0:27:02.119 --> 0:27:04.080 not a historically great defense, all right, so I'm not 0:27:04.119 --> 0:27:06.360 expecting you to be able to shut the team out. 0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:07.520 But it's up. 0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:10.600 Hey man, we got that, we got CD, we got 0:27:11.359 --> 0:27:12.919 we got we got Brandon Cooks. 0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:18.520 You got to be putting up more than what somebody. 0:27:16.800 --> 0:27:18.320 And they did. And they did. 0:27:19.640 --> 0:27:24.480 One morning, you know that one shout out to that 0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:28.240 tripping call. We're all talking about, shout to the tripping call. 0:27:28.760 --> 0:27:31.560 How many points they got? Come on, now they're falling 0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:33.919 out there. You know they had to say to what. 0:27:34.440 --> 0:27:35.960 Let it play out, lay out. 0:27:36.880 --> 0:27:38.160 Let them play play out. 0:27:38.240 --> 0:27:40.080 That's all we gotta do, man, Let them play out 0:27:40.200 --> 0:27:41.200 one hundred twenty five yard. 0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:47.520 Damien Wilson, former linebacker with the Cowboys, also is in 0:27:47.680 --> 0:27:51.800 for a tryout. Well, Damien, you know your former player 0:27:53.160 --> 0:27:55.320 thoughts on that when I was playing with him, he 0:27:55.359 --> 0:27:55.919 was a good player. 0:27:56.040 --> 0:27:57.600 I mean, he was one of them special teams cast 0:27:57.680 --> 0:27:59.440 that you know, run through a brick wall. And then 0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:01.200 he got some time to play on the defensive side 0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:03.320 of the football, and he really took advantage of it. 0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:05.640 So I didn't really get to see him much last year. 0:28:05.680 --> 0:28:07.600 I believe Chris Being told us he played for Carolina. 0:28:07.600 --> 0:28:08.960 I want to say I didn't really see much on 0:28:09.040 --> 0:28:11.200 him last year, but when he was here and when 0:28:11.240 --> 0:28:13.399 he was with Kansas City and they won that Super Bowl, 0:28:13.480 --> 0:28:15.080 I think he was a stud linebacker. 0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:17.440 He was a young guy, very young when I was here, 0:28:17.440 --> 0:28:19.080 so yeah, he was. He was my special team's gout. 0:28:19.320 --> 0:28:20.840 He was one of those dudes, So don't I don't 0:28:20.840 --> 0:28:24.440 know much about him on defense, but then if you 0:28:24.480 --> 0:28:26.400 put him in there on special teams and he's gonna 0:28:26.440 --> 0:28:28.200 be have a role there as well, then I think 0:28:28.280 --> 0:28:30.160 I think he helps you out, especially with some depth 0:28:30.160 --> 0:28:33.200 in linebacker. I think you need that. And the same 0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:35.560 things we talked about Tyler Smith earlier. I think I 0:28:35.600 --> 0:28:38.080 think the Layo Collins thing, it shures you up in 0:28:38.120 --> 0:28:43.880 a few spots because you know, Tyrn Smith is great, okay, 0:28:43.960 --> 0:28:46.280 but you never know when something may happen. Then you 0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:48.440 had an opportunity, you had that situation where you were 0:28:48.920 --> 0:28:51.840 Zach Martin right, and then now you lose Tyler Smith. 0:28:51.880 --> 0:28:54.640 You like, we need more depth at that position. It 0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:57.960 was late in the season. They gonna throw him out there. 0:28:58.000 --> 0:29:01.720 You better than Peters. 0:29:01.760 --> 0:29:02.240 That's all he. 0:29:02.280 --> 0:29:02.640 Needs to be. 0:29:02.840 --> 0:29:05.400 No, no, no, I'm saying if something else were to 0:29:05.600 --> 0:29:07.840 we have had issues. We have had issues. You need 0:29:07.880 --> 0:29:09.360 you need at least a body to put it in there, 0:29:09.360 --> 0:29:11.040 because it's some guys we just don't trust. 0:29:10.760 --> 0:29:11.440 To go in the game. 0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:14.920 It's a few real quick. What's the name went off Hutchinson. 0:29:16.160 --> 0:29:23.240 He went off. Everybody plays, make no mistake. That is 0:29:23.240 --> 0:29:26.360 the real deal. And the secondary and the secondary they 0:29:26.360 --> 0:29:28.760 gave up two twenty whatever, they gave up the CD. 0:29:29.200 --> 0:29:32.160 But other than that, man they were having they were 0:29:32.160 --> 0:29:35.920 playing some outstanding ball on defense. They had some broken 0:29:35.960 --> 0:29:38.280 plays obviously that we were I don't know, fifty five 0:29:38.280 --> 0:29:39.720 months be with the game being no crime. 0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:42.000 Now, I don't know what's I don't miss that one? 0:29:47.080 --> 0:29:52.840 How do you miss that? Man? Do you miss how 0:29:52.880 --> 0:29:53.760 you getting small? 0:29:54.640 --> 0:29:55.160 It small? 0:29:55.240 --> 0:29:58.000 You can't get what I'm watching that on film as 0:29:58.000 --> 0:29:59.680 a coach, and I'm upset and you know that that's 0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:00.440 the player when you. 0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:02.320 Don't get a vision like, oh god, I guess. 0:30:07.840 --> 0:30:08.040 Zero. 0:30:08.080 --> 0:30:11.360 It was nobody back there. I didn't miss that. How 0:30:11.360 --> 0:30:12.840 do you? I mean? And I'm looking at it. 0:30:13.120 --> 0:30:15.240 I'm like, man, that's that is That's one of those 0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:18.480 crazy things that happened in football. That's that's unexplainable. Will 0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:21.960 take it. But no, that defensive line, that line there, 0:30:22.200 --> 0:30:25.280 that team in general that I was really impressed with 0:30:25.320 --> 0:30:27.880 the line with the Lions. That's a tough squad. You know, 0:30:28.000 --> 0:30:31.240 I didn't understand. I'm telling you. Dan Campbell confused me. 0:30:31.800 --> 0:30:32.400 I'm serious. 0:30:32.560 --> 0:30:32.959 I was. 0:30:33.200 --> 0:30:35.560 I'm like, man, if somebody have a spell on this dude, 0:30:35.760 --> 0:30:39.040 why don't ownership call down to the sideline and say 0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:40.280 to him. 0:30:40.400 --> 0:30:42.920 Kick the field goal? Kick the field goal? 0:30:43.120 --> 0:30:45.360 And I know we that took away from what you 0:30:45.400 --> 0:30:47.480 would have been talking about Mike McCarthy there at the 0:30:47.560 --> 0:30:49.760 end of the game and him throwing those passes instead 0:30:49.760 --> 0:30:51.600 of running the ball to run the clock out, the 0:30:51.600 --> 0:30:54.160 tripping penalty and all of that. But you're at a 0:30:54.160 --> 0:30:57.960 at a point where coaches are just blowing games with 0:30:59.040 --> 0:30:59.920 bad decisions. 0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:01.320 Let me ask you this, Let me ask all y'all 0:31:01.320 --> 0:31:01.720 real quick. 0:31:01.960 --> 0:31:03.800 In that situation, I'm about the last play, the two 0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:06.080 minute things all right, understandable. You don't get it the 0:31:06.120 --> 0:31:09.720 first time, for whatever reason, you get another opportunity. You 0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:11.680 end up going forward again. It's our sides or whatever 0:31:11.720 --> 0:31:14.560 it was for the second two point conversion. At that point, 0:31:14.600 --> 0:31:19.000 God is telling me something. You gotta kick right, and 0:31:20.200 --> 0:31:21.360 I gotta kick it on that one. 0:31:21.600 --> 0:31:22.080 You should. 0:31:22.160 --> 0:31:24.680 I feel like the man had this, like he already 0:31:24.760 --> 0:31:27.040 knew this was how it was gonna play out if 0:31:27.040 --> 0:31:29.960 he got in that situation up during the week. We're 0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:31.600 going up to Das, were playing on the road. We 0:31:31.640 --> 0:31:33.320 got a chance to win it. I don't care, and 0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:35.120 I'm not I'm not getting off that bus. I'm not 0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:37.960 getting off that bus. And he stuck with it, and 0:31:38.000 --> 0:31:39.600 he stuck with it and that one works. So in 0:31:39.640 --> 0:31:41.440 his mind he's like, I got another one that to work, 0:31:42.040 --> 0:31:43.280 and you know, he helped us out. 0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:46.960 So shout out, shout out to kick that was. That was. 0:31:47.240 --> 0:31:49.640 That was probably one of the weirdest moments in football 0:31:49.680 --> 0:31:52.160 that I've ever had. When I'm watching the guy, you 0:31:52.240 --> 0:31:54.640 get the penalty, you move back, you're at the seven 0:31:54.720 --> 0:31:58.280 yard line, and you still elect to go. I mean, 0:31:58.400 --> 0:32:01.920 like then you get saved again either, Like sums up. 0:32:03.200 --> 0:32:04.640 That was a weird situation. 0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:06.920 I went to his press conference after the game because 0:32:06.920 --> 0:32:08.480 I just wanted to hear the explanation. 0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:11.200 So you know, they're asking him and he's trying. 0:32:11.040 --> 0:32:13.479 To be all mad every time, you know, frustrated, and 0:32:13.520 --> 0:32:16.960 he was like, Bro, you messed up. Just come on 0:32:17.000 --> 0:32:19.040 out and just say you said whatever you want about 0:32:19.040 --> 0:32:22.480 the rest. But June as a decision maker messed up 0:32:22.840 --> 0:32:26.360 because after the two it's time to go ahead, kick 0:32:26.400 --> 0:32:29.800 the point, went after take it overtime, but his old 0:32:30.160 --> 0:32:32.440 bravado and all that kind of his ego would let 0:32:32.520 --> 0:32:32.840 him do it. 0:32:33.040 --> 0:32:34.680 So I'm just like sitting there just listening to this 0:32:34.720 --> 0:32:35.080 whole thing. 0:32:35.120 --> 0:32:36.960 And then they kept it short and the PR guy 0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:38.600 was trying to protect him and he left. 0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:41.200 But he didn't want to really be. 0:32:41.160 --> 0:32:43.720 Accountable for his decision as a head coach to just 0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:48.160 simply say, Okay, we tried it, let's abort, make an adjustment. 0:32:48.320 --> 0:32:50.960 We not to make an adjustment now and move on 0:32:51.000 --> 0:32:51.360 out of this. 0:32:51.640 --> 0:32:55.840 But hey, he'll be okay because everybody in Detroit is 0:32:55.880 --> 0:32:59.360 fine from the standpoint that they are NFC North champs. 0:32:59.600 --> 0:33:01.960 They're spending the whole week saying how they got. 0:33:01.840 --> 0:33:04.840 Ribbed, and he's he's basically going to be let off 0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:07.520 the hook for pulling the Brandon Staley here and not 0:33:07.640 --> 0:33:08.600 using why judgment. 0:33:08.800 --> 0:33:11.720 No, he did the expectation and in destroyed is a 0:33:11.720 --> 0:33:12.200 lot lower. 0:33:12.360 --> 0:33:12.479 Right. 0:33:12.760 --> 0:33:15.040 The fact fact they won the North and the first 0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:17.240 time I don't know how long, and they're hosting a 0:33:17.280 --> 0:33:19.720 whole playoff game. I think at that point it like 0:33:19.760 --> 0:33:20.920 we're playing with house money. 0:33:22.280 --> 0:33:22.960 I think it's a. 0:33:22.920 --> 0:33:25.920 Horrible But Danny, you right, I mean you, Danny, You're 0:33:25.960 --> 0:33:28.040 absolutely right. Because that was the thing that really shocked 0:33:28.120 --> 0:33:30.640 me when he came in and said, I went to 0:33:31.200 --> 0:33:34.120 the referee, I showed them exactly what we were going 0:33:34.240 --> 0:33:36.600 to do. I told them how many guys were going 0:33:36.640 --> 0:33:38.720 to walk up to it and report, and we did 0:33:38.840 --> 0:33:42.920 exactly that. So they already had that play circle, they 0:33:43.000 --> 0:33:44.920 knew how they were going to try and execute it. 0:33:45.000 --> 0:33:47.240 And when it didn't work according to plan, after he 0:33:47.240 --> 0:33:49.360 had already explained it, I think that's what he was 0:33:49.400 --> 0:33:50.040 livid about. 0:33:50.080 --> 0:33:51.560 That man, I already. 0:33:51.200 --> 0:33:53.080 Told y'all was about to try some triggeration and you 0:33:53.080 --> 0:33:54.160 ain't let the play. 0:33:53.960 --> 0:33:57.800 Go that chasing it and let me get my money 0:33:57.800 --> 0:33:58.560 back and then. 0:33:58.720 --> 0:34:00.000 You know that's what I'm saying. 0:34:00.040 --> 0:34:01.560 Wall. If it don't work the first time, then go 0:34:01.560 --> 0:34:03.320 ahead and kick the field, Go take the two point, 0:34:03.320 --> 0:34:06.920 I mean take the pat and then go into overtime. 0:34:06.960 --> 0:34:08.480 But I just thought that was crazy. 0:34:08.600 --> 0:34:11.759 Let's get a break in here. There's a running back 0:34:12.280 --> 0:34:14.560 who's about to become a free agent.

He turned out because Shannon's in here 0:36:46.840 --> 0:36:49.000 before me. I don't know Shan has a hearing problem, but. 0:36:49.000 --> 0:36:50.200 It's blasted. 0:36:57.880 --> 0:36:58.600 Walking in the street. 0:36:59.719 --> 0:36:59.879 Man. 0:37:01.440 --> 0:37:04.640 It's like, so I'm like this, so I hit the 0:37:04.680 --> 0:37:06.719 new button. My bad, bad. 0:37:09.920 --> 0:37:10.320 Anyway. 0:37:10.560 --> 0:37:14.360 Tom Pelasero of NFL dot Com has put out on 0:37:14.560 --> 0:37:18.160 social media four time Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook 0:37:18.520 --> 0:37:21.760 and the Jets have mutually agreed to part ways, allowing 0:37:21.840 --> 0:37:25.759 Cook the opportunity to play for a playoff team per 0:37:25.920 --> 0:37:34.960 his agency LA Sports Entertainment. So based on what is 0:37:35.080 --> 0:37:38.680 being reported, he could potentially become free. I bring this 0:37:38.840 --> 0:37:41.120 up because Jerry Jones on his radio show today said 0:37:41.160 --> 0:37:43.319 he does have a concern for the Cowboys running game, 0:37:43.640 --> 0:37:45.520 which we can't remember the last time they had one 0:37:45.600 --> 0:37:47.359 hundred yards in a game. And I can't tell you, man, 0:37:47.480 --> 0:37:49.520 last time I think Tony Pollitt's had one hundred yard, 0:37:49.520 --> 0:37:49.920 I can't. 0:37:49.760 --> 0:37:50.400 Really remember it. 0:37:50.680 --> 0:37:54.800 So Dalvincook, would you entertain him if you are the Cowboys? 0:37:54.920 --> 0:38:00.400 Based on this tweet from NFL dot coms Tom pela sera, no, I. 0:38:00.400 --> 0:38:03.000 Mean, listen, there's a reason why he couldn't crack the 0:38:03.040 --> 0:38:05.920 lineup up there with the Jets. They were trying to 0:38:05.960 --> 0:38:09.680 get that figured out, like he was frustrated, never really 0:38:09.760 --> 0:38:12.560 got a chance to get going. And I don't think 0:38:12.600 --> 0:38:16.160 he's better than Tony Poller when I'm looking at a 0:38:16.239 --> 0:38:19.080 guy like Tony Poller. I don't want to then take 0:38:19.160 --> 0:38:21.319 touches away from him because you want to see, now 0:38:21.400 --> 0:38:25.719 what Brent, what Dalvin Cook to do? Like, I don't 0:38:25.719 --> 0:38:27.319 want to see that. If we're going to figure out 0:38:27.320 --> 0:38:28.960 a way to fix our running game, the guy that 0:38:29.040 --> 0:38:31.200 we're paying ten million dollars to, that's the guy that 0:38:31.280 --> 0:38:34.120 we need to try to figure out how to get going. Like, 0:38:34.200 --> 0:38:36.000 I don't even want those questions to be like, oh, 0:38:36.080 --> 0:38:39.279 well give Seith Mo Carris and this dude man only 0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:40.640 getting sixteen. 0:38:41.920 --> 0:38:43.480 Look, I'm going to say it like this. 0:38:43.960 --> 0:38:46.600 You know, Dalvin Cook made a mistake by going to 0:38:46.680 --> 0:38:49.239 the Jets anyway, he thought that Breece Hall was hurt. 0:38:49.600 --> 0:38:51.120 Brist Hall came back better than that. 0:38:53.120 --> 0:38:53.160 Was. 0:38:53.560 --> 0:38:55.640 Is that what brist Hall got burning? They was like 0:38:55.800 --> 0:38:57.880 they looked over Davin, like what are you here for? 0:38:59.400 --> 0:39:01.440 They let him make that money all the way through 0:39:01.480 --> 0:39:02.800 the season and cut him at the end of the 0:39:02.840 --> 0:39:04.800 season because he wasn't gonna get no burn anyway for 0:39:04.880 --> 0:39:07.520 whatever incentive was there if he was on the roster 0:39:07.640 --> 0:39:10.719 or whatever. But look at this point, y'all, we've got 0:39:10.840 --> 0:39:13.680 to be genuinely concerned about our running game. Last week 0:39:13.960 --> 0:39:16.959 you were talking about touches where Tony Poler was gonna 0:39:17.000 --> 0:39:19.320 be I was saying, Hey, we just need him to 0:39:19.440 --> 0:39:23.000 mimic some other guys on other teams that never got 0:39:23.080 --> 0:39:23.680 that production. 0:39:23.880 --> 0:39:27.600 Either. Go ahead, you don't forget nothing. 0:39:28.000 --> 0:39:31.680 No, but it's one of those We're in a situation 0:39:31.840 --> 0:39:34.640 right now as you as you have mentioned, when you're 0:39:34.680 --> 0:39:37.839 going deep into the playoffs, especially I'm just talking about 0:39:38.200 --> 0:39:41.520 at this point San Francisco, you have to have a 0:39:41.640 --> 0:39:44.640 guy that can control the ground. You have to you 0:39:45.040 --> 0:39:47.799 and we're at the point right now, especially with all 0:39:47.840 --> 0:39:51.920 the conversations that we've had about CD thirteen for two 0:39:52.040 --> 0:39:54.759 twenty seven and two touchdowns. He only had one, but 0:39:54.880 --> 0:39:57.000 the one that went through the end zone a touchback. 0:39:57.560 --> 0:40:00.960 That's the kind of game you need from CD in 0:40:01.160 --> 0:40:05.120 Candlestick or in Levy Stadium. He's somebody's gonna have to 0:40:05.200 --> 0:40:07.920 go off if we don't have a running game. And 0:40:08.040 --> 0:40:10.399 right now, you can't trust your running game. And that's 0:40:10.440 --> 0:40:12.959 why I think at that just to milk the clock 0:40:13.040 --> 0:40:16.000 the end of the game, Mike McCarthy could not depend 0:40:16.120 --> 0:40:19.399 on a running game to at least make them burn 0:40:19.520 --> 0:40:21.560 time out, to at least put them into a situation 0:40:21.960 --> 0:40:24.960 where look, they're scrambling to try and at least get 0:40:25.000 --> 0:40:27.520 a few seconds. That's what a good running game would 0:40:27.520 --> 0:40:30.680 do for you, you know. And I'm saying no also 0:40:30.960 --> 0:40:32.720 because again it's an unknown. 0:40:32.800 --> 0:40:34.839 I don't know. I don't know if he had if 0:40:34.920 --> 0:40:35.520 Dalvin has it. 0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:38.279 But at the same time, we've got to figure out 0:40:38.360 --> 0:40:41.400 a way over the next five weeks because that's what 0:40:41.480 --> 0:40:44.840 we're playing for the next five weeks to get to Vegas. 0:40:45.040 --> 0:40:48.719 It's gonna be with at least twenty five percent better 0:40:48.800 --> 0:40:50.239 than what we're getting in the running game right now. 0:40:50.320 --> 0:40:51.680 Yeah, I'm gonna make it three at three. 0:40:51.760 --> 0:40:54.399 You know, I'm saying no when it comes to Dalvin Cook, 0:40:54.480 --> 0:40:57.440 and it's just simply believed because I don't believe, you know, 0:40:57.520 --> 0:40:59.040 not only is he not better than Pollard, I don't 0:40:59.040 --> 0:41:01.040 think he's better than Rico. If we look at it, 0:41:01.120 --> 0:41:02.759 you know, from out this sea throughout the season and 0:41:02.840 --> 0:41:04.080 what we've seen from both players. 0:41:04.680 --> 0:41:08.600 You know, I think Rico is a better option right 0:41:08.680 --> 0:41:09.880 now then then Cook is. 0:41:10.120 --> 0:41:12.400 And that's what it really comes down to, because you know, 0:41:12.760 --> 0:41:15.120 I can't defend my guy anymore, you know, Tony Pollard, 0:41:15.280 --> 0:41:17.040 you know, trying to stand on the table saying we 0:41:17.080 --> 0:41:18.800 need to give them more cares. They gave him the 0:41:18.840 --> 0:41:21.800 opportunities and you just, you know, nothing came to fluition 0:41:21.920 --> 0:41:23.719 when you talk about that Detroit game and what they 0:41:23.760 --> 0:41:25.719 were able to do on the ground. So to me, 0:41:26.040 --> 0:41:27.320 you know, if it was a if there was a 0:41:27.360 --> 0:41:29.399 guy out there that you know, maybe could be better 0:41:29.440 --> 0:41:31.359 than Rico, then for sure, I say, you know, kick 0:41:31.400 --> 0:41:33.319 the tires on them. But to me, I don't think 0:41:33.360 --> 0:41:35.480 Cook gives you a better option than Rico Dala at 0:41:35.520 --> 0:41:37.239 this point. So I stick with those two guys. 0:41:37.440 --> 0:41:39.440 So I'm going to disagree with all three of you 0:41:41.520 --> 0:41:46.480 from the five yard mark. In been a problem, That's true. 0:41:47.120 --> 0:41:50.480 Pollard hasn't been able to fix it. Rico Daddle hasn't 0:41:50.480 --> 0:41:54.080 been able to fix it. Could Dalvin Cook be that person? 0:41:54.400 --> 0:41:56.800 And if Dalvin Cook is a guy with his bigger 0:41:56.840 --> 0:41:59.600 body can find a way to get you in on 0:42:00.880 --> 0:42:03.160 first and goal from the five or three or the 0:42:03.239 --> 0:42:07.919 two or one versus Hunter Lifkey, then let me see 0:42:07.920 --> 0:42:11.520 what Dalvin Cook can do. Because the red zone has 0:42:11.560 --> 0:42:16.320 been an issue. Maybe they win that game in Miami. 0:42:16.719 --> 0:42:20.600 If Dalvin Cook is getting football, absolutely, that's where I 0:42:20.680 --> 0:42:22.880 look at it as and I'm not trying to replace Pollard. 0:42:22.960 --> 0:42:26.200 I'm not trying to necessarily replace frecodable, but I am 0:42:26.320 --> 0:42:28.960 going back to what Skip Peete talked about why Pollard 0:42:29.080 --> 0:42:31.759 was effective and just having that thunder lightning thing. There's 0:42:31.800 --> 0:42:34.480 no thunder for the Cowboys right now. They don't have 0:42:34.560 --> 0:42:37.759 a hammer. It got so bad that the hammer. Are 0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:39.560 you sitting up here asking hunterd Limkey to go do it? 0:42:39.760 --> 0:42:43.600 Yes, duce Vaughn comes in last game two Carris two yards, 0:42:44.000 --> 0:42:44.279 you're not. 0:42:45.400 --> 0:42:47.319 I mean that's not that's not enough. 0:42:47.400 --> 0:42:47.800 No, that's not. 0:42:48.640 --> 0:42:51.040 But if he did have one kiss for ten, yes, 0:42:51.680 --> 0:42:53.359 you want to find somebody to getting the pass the game. 0:42:54.960 --> 0:42:55.319 I don't know. 0:42:57.160 --> 0:42:58.640 For me at this point in time. That's where I'm 0:42:58.640 --> 0:43:00.799 looking at me. Do we we all agree that got 0:43:00.800 --> 0:43:01.520 an issue from the. 0:43:01.560 --> 0:43:02.239 Five yards on it? 0:43:02.400 --> 0:43:02.520 Right? 0:43:02.640 --> 0:43:02.840 They do? 0:43:03.000 --> 0:43:04.960 But then then you're taking a spot from a guy 0:43:05.000 --> 0:43:08.040 that could possibly play teams because Dalvin's not gonna go 0:43:08.040 --> 0:43:08.759 out there and play team. 0:43:08.800 --> 0:43:11.000 Let's just say they get Collins and coach. 0:43:11.480 --> 0:43:13.759 You got two guys, veteran guys that won't play teams 0:43:13.800 --> 0:43:15.719 that are taking up, you know, roster spots for other 0:43:15.800 --> 0:43:18.879 guys out there. Is having a you know, goal line 0:43:18.960 --> 0:43:22.520 back more important than yes, than having somebody that yes. 0:43:23.320 --> 0:43:26.960 I also don't consider Dalvon cooking goal line back. But 0:43:27.520 --> 0:43:29.319 he may run harder than Tony Paouler. But I mean 0:43:29.640 --> 0:43:31.400 there work of weeks where we were like, look at 0:43:31.440 --> 0:43:33.879 Tony Powler right when you was like, oh man, look 0:43:33.920 --> 0:43:36.120 look at look how hard Tony Pouler's running all that stuff. 0:43:36.520 --> 0:43:38.440 I just don't know about Dalvin Cook, maybe because I 0:43:38.480 --> 0:43:40.800 got a little fantasy trauma fantasy football. 0:43:40.880 --> 0:43:46.600 Tu No, no, no, it was worse. 0:43:46.680 --> 0:43:48.960 It was. He wasn't doing nothing on the goal line either. 0:43:49.520 --> 0:43:53.399 They started putting Madison in there on the goal Dalvin Cook. 0:43:53.840 --> 0:43:55.759 But no, I guess I guess we'll see what type 0:43:55.760 --> 0:43:57.799 of moves they make. But for me, were passing team. 0:43:57.840 --> 0:43:58.880 Though for me that's my issue. 0:43:59.239 --> 0:44:01.359 We're fast team. They are like, yeah, can we run 0:44:01.400 --> 0:44:02.520 the ball and when we need to? 0:44:03.960 --> 0:44:06.239 You've got a problem right now, put the quarterback. 0:44:05.960 --> 0:44:08.640 And run a situation. Get you some read options. Get 0:44:08.680 --> 0:44:11.279 that figured out. No, I'm not I'm not saying have 0:44:11.440 --> 0:44:13.160 the threats running. 0:44:13.560 --> 0:44:19.000 No listening to the owner. 0:44:19.040 --> 0:44:21.440 Today on this show, we ran quarterback listen, we ran 0:44:21.560 --> 0:44:25.359 quarterback lead Okay, we ran read options so far this season, 0:44:25.480 --> 0:44:27.719 you need to figure out a way to just push. 0:44:28.560 --> 0:44:30.520 With Dalvin Cooking there, it could be better, That's all 0:44:30.560 --> 0:44:33.719 I'm saying. I would, I would be looking at it, 0:44:33.719 --> 0:44:36.160 and they'll be interested. You would kick the tires, oh, 0:44:36.680 --> 0:44:39.800 without a doubt, because I've got an issue. Michael Gelkin 0:44:39.840 --> 0:44:42.400 had raised the question of Mike McCarthy a couple of 0:44:42.400 --> 0:44:46.200 weeks ago about got issues from the five, and he 0:44:46.520 --> 0:44:48.279 tried to duck and dodge around, you know, try to 0:44:48.320 --> 0:44:49.120 protect some players. 0:44:49.200 --> 0:44:52.560 But even after this season, that's something that's. 0:44:52.400 --> 0:44:53.200 Got to be addressed. 0:44:53.800 --> 0:44:56.279 Will be so if you have the ability right now 0:44:56.360 --> 0:44:59.320 and you're talking about trying to to go deep in 0:44:59.360 --> 0:45:01.560 the playoffs, I don't see how you can ignore this 0:45:01.719 --> 0:45:04.360 issue right now with a player like this, according to 0:45:04.480 --> 0:45:05.920 his agent, about to be released. 0:45:06.280 --> 0:45:08.120 You have to pick up the got to pick up 0:45:08.120 --> 0:45:08.520 the phone. 0:45:08.840 --> 0:45:11.919 If you're gonna call, tell tell Ell Collins to come through, 0:45:12.000 --> 0:45:14.200 and Damien Wilson to come through. Why wouldn't you tell 0:45:14.239 --> 0:45:17.080 Dalvin cook hey man, come on through. And so I 0:45:17.200 --> 0:45:19.320 know what you're saying about special team spot, but I 0:45:19.400 --> 0:45:22.160 go back to that Miami game. If you get a 0:45:22.200 --> 0:45:25.279 ball Dalvin Cooking, the scores so yeah, that's a whole 0:45:25.320 --> 0:45:29.319 different deal. And it's a small thing, but small things 0:45:29.320 --> 0:45:30.520 are big things in the playoffs. 0:45:30.840 --> 0:45:33.640 No, this is and this is also finishing off runs, 0:45:33.719 --> 0:45:36.759 finding the right hole, having vision. And when we start 0:45:36.800 --> 0:45:39.280 talking about those two players, I think I would trust 0:45:39.360 --> 0:45:43.000 doubt Cook over his career has been one of those 0:45:43.000 --> 0:45:45.920 players that's had better vision. Sometimes when I'm watching Tony Pollard, 0:45:46.080 --> 0:45:50.120 I'm like, man, where you're going it's and I'm sure 0:45:50.160 --> 0:45:53.279 the coaches are seeing the same thing. And so that's 0:45:53.320 --> 0:45:56.040 why you've had this steady rotation in between him and 0:45:56.120 --> 0:45:58.879 Rico Dallin. It's not that Rico Dadle is that much 0:45:59.160 --> 0:46:02.040 more of running back than he is. I don't I 0:46:02.080 --> 0:46:04.040 don't see the drop off, you know, I don't see. Okay, 0:46:04.080 --> 0:46:05.480 we go down to a hand and this is what is? 0:46:05.640 --> 0:46:05.800 You know. 0:46:06.120 --> 0:46:08.520 I just think that right now, man, our running game 0:46:08.680 --> 0:46:10.080 is something. 0:46:10.600 --> 0:46:13.760 All right, guys, uh, fun stuff. 0:46:13.880 --> 0:46:17.200 Let's get into it on Wednesday, as we get closer 0:46:17.239 --> 0:46:17.880 and closer to the. 0:46:19.200 --> 0:46:22.520 The NFC East is ours, though it's. 0:46:22.440 --> 0:46:32.719 Not hoping dream dream Barry church. 0:46:34.200 --> 0:46:35.120 Strutch brought to you by. 0:46:37.000 --> 0:46:38.280 We'll see it tomorrow. 0:46:39.760 --> 0:46:43.279 Yeah, this has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot 0:46:43.320 --> 0:46:45.759 com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club
