Speaker 1: biggest dog we can find he lock in South African boorable?

90
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,200

00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five pounds master? Yeah? All right, News

92
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: and notes, Dallas Cowboys, let's talk about it. Let's go

93
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: what's going on with this team, the Dallas Cowboys. They

94
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: are relatively healthy coming out of the Giants game. No uh,

95
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: no injuries that they've officially reported coming out of this game.

96
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: Covids a different story, although no players, no new player

97
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: tests yesterday. Matt Daniels, the assistant Special team's coach assistant

98
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: to John Fossil, tested positive yesterday, so he's on the

99
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: reserve COVID list, and they are the league might be

100
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: moving to this anyway this week in light of more

101
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: and more cases yesterday throughout the league. But Cowboy's going

102
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: virtual all week in terms of meetings and then practice,

103
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: trying to get ahead of this or just treadwater and

104
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: no more cases. Now. The HL National Hockey League went

105
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: on a pause as of last night. They concluded their

106
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: games last night and then they put a pause on

107
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: things to just try and get everyone right, because it's

108
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: not just the NFL going through this COVID spike right now.

109
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: The NFL's going through it, NHL, NBA, pretty much every

110
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: professional sports league at the moment that is playing is

111
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: having some sort of issues with this. I don't I

112
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: think I know the answer to this question already. But

113
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: do you see the NFL ever even remotely entertaining that

114
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: possibility down the road? Doesn't sound like it. I mean,

115
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: Jerry was asked about it today, and they're trying to

116
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: move forward with new protocols targeting, targeted testing not you know,

117
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: and and they've they've even changed the you know, if

118
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: you're vaccinated then and you don't show symptoms, you're not

119
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: being tested is I think that's correct, right, and then uh,

120
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: now you can get back sooner potentially if you're vaccinated

121
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: one negative test twenty four hours, well instead of two

122
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: twenty four hours apart one negative test, you can be

123
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: back on the field. So they're trying to move forward.

124
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: What does that say? Isaiah has got a great look

125
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: on his face right now, what are you what are

126
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: you thinking? I having zero comment in regards to that,

127
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: because that makes zero sense, but I'm gonna leave it

128
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: at that. Yeah, I think what I think one of

129
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: their rationale behind it is I saw a report that

130
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: Washington had like twenty five cases, twenty three showed no symptoms,

131
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: and there's no evidence that this can be pas asked

132
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: on the field to each other during games. And that's

133
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: why they think, you know, it's it's it's endemic in

134
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: society now it's you know, and so trying to live

135
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: with it and trying to move forward, that's what they're

136
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: trying to do. So basically, it's a it's a step

137
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: forward away from the original line of thinking. That's why

138
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't necessarily make a whole lot of sense, right

139
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: because it's it's not the way you've always thought about

140
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: COVID in sports. It's basically trying to move past that.

141
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: It's it's a first step. I will see if other

142
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: leagues follow it, you know. Um, I'm sure they're in

143
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: communication with the NBA. NBA's having a ton of cases too. Yeah,

144
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: so yeah, you could do one way. You could pause

145
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: it and try to make a stop, or you can

146
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: just kind of move forward. And that's what the NFL

147
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: is going to do. And then in terms of injuries,

148
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 1: you said no big injuries out of that. Do you

149
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: think of anybody that can return? Akaa, Donovan Wilson, what's

150
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: his what's his situation like at the moment, sounds like

151
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: he's got a good chance to this week. Jerry was

152
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: not ready to say Tyrant Smith would be back this week.

153
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: You know, if it's close, then I would think they

154
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: would try to give him another week. But he sounded optimists,

155
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: very optimistic about his prospects the rest of the way

156
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: as they move into the postseason, most likely three games left.

157
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: Do you think he makes it back this week or

158
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 1: do they save him for Week seventeen against Arizona. The

159
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: way they're talking, you know, Mike said, it's too early

160
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: to tell. It doesn't sound like they're super optimistic, but

161
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna give it the week and see how he's feeling.

162
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: That's good, Okay, So he could potentially get on the

163
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: practice field. Doesn't necessarily mean that he's gonna play though, right,

164
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: not ruled out. Okay, Yeah, well there you go. So

165
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: there's a news and notes update from Rob Phillips and gentlemen.

166
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 1: We talked a lot yesterday about the offense and the

167
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: look of zeke Im Pollard and Deak as a whole,

168
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: but I want to before we start taking our fan

169
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: calls today, I want to talk about the offensive line.

170
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: Because Connor Williams jumps in starts at left guard, you

171
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: have Tye Insecki rotating back and forth with Terren Steele

172
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: at the left tackle spot. Do you feel better about

173
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: the depth of this offensive line from what you saw

174
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: yesterday as opposed to what you it seemed the previous

175
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: four weeks? You know, I think it seems like it's

176
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: ever changing. And when you talk about Tyren Smith and

177
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: him coming back, obviously that's gonna be a bigger part

178
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: of seeing who's gonna start at left tackle until he's

179
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: back healthy, and I think they should take their time

180
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: with that decision simply because, as you talked about going

181
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, how we're gonna need our full litany

182
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: of guys up front, and definitely need Tyren Smith for that.

183
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: I felt better at left guard, honestly, and not that

184
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 1: you know, the Connor bros. Are looked at one as

185
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: the same, but I really felt like Connor Williams took

186
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: the lead last week, and let's just see how he

187
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: does versus Duran Payne. They've had their run ins with

188
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: one another over the last couple of years, so it's

189
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting to see that matchup. I just felt

190
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: like an offensive line, you know, you saw them getting

191
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: after the defense pass protection. We still have some issues

192
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: and those are the things that have to be corrected

193
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,599
Speaker 1: going back into the Washington football team week, but I

194
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: felt a lot. I feel a lot better about where

195
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: we are on the offensive line now. This previous game,

196
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: I felt better. Obviously, Connor Williams came in and did

197
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: a much better job than what had been there previously,

198
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: regardless of what Connor Brow was in there. I do

199
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: believe that this you know, is ready, this continuity, all right.

200
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: I love it, this word that we keep using. I

201
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: don't know if they're kind of starting to shy away

202
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: from the traditional form of what they considered to be

203
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: continuity in terms of the same guys out there every week.

204
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: I am starting to believe that these guys are approaching

205
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: it as a matchup. It's just a personnel thing. What

206
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: are we going to face this week? Who is better

207
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: suited for this particular team that we're facing, you know,

208
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: playing against the Giants. Okay, you had you had one

209
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: guy that you really had to worry about, you know,

210
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: on that left side. Now this week, who we got

211
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: three guys they're probably got to worry about on our

212
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: left side. So who's going to be best fit for

213
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: to handle pass blocking instead of run blocking? Right? What's

214
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: our game plan and what is the personnel that they

215
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: present that can create some mismatches for us? And that's

216
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: who we're gonna put out there. It give us ourselves

217
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: an advantage. Yeah, it was a true rotation at left

218
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: tackle in the last game. I want to say, thirty

219
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: something snaps for Terrence Steele, twenty something snaps for Tian Secky,

220
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: and I think it came down to pass protection. They

221
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 1: felt like and Secki's experience could help in that area

222
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: in the game, so it's very possible that if there's

223
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: no Tyrn Smith, they go to both guys again, depending

224
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: on the situation, depending on the matchup. You know, if

225
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: they're more in pass mode, maybe you see more more

226
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: Tian Secky in this game. Yeah, I think Connor Williams

227
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: gave him some juice at left guard. I really do.

228
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: There was more pulling, there was more movement in the

229
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 1: run game, and I think that's where he excels. And

230
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: the other thing is too that they really we didn't

231
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: talk about this, and I didn't think about this during

232
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: the week, but they felt like Connor McGovern has a

233
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: role as a fullback in this offense that they really like,

234
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: and that was another reason why they went to that switch,

235
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: because they like him in that two back offense. I

236
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: think it was a better fit for both of those

237
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: guys in their respective roles. I mean, Connor Williams has

238
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: been the left guard for quite some time. They gave

239
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: McGovern an opportunity to win that job out right. But

240
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: McGovern's been better than Connor Williams at the fullback spot

241
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: as well. So I completely agree with you. I think

242
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: it does completely even Aldan it makes a lot more

243
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: sense to have those guys in their roles. But we've

244
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: kind of mentioned this previously on the show about talking

245
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: it's a contract year for Connor Williams. Did he make

246
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: himself some money coming back and winning that job back

247
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,599
Speaker 1: that quickly? I mean, he came back and it was

248
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: almost an immediate change. Is this making sure that he

249
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: one either sticks around next year or two is able

250
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: to at least ensure himself a starting job at some

251
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: place in the NFL's so that, I don't know, it's

252
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: a long way away. It's a long ways away. I

253
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: think it really. I don't know what the college prospects

254
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: are in terms of that position group right now, or

255
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 1: where we may be seated at in terms of the

256
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 1: draft and all that jazz. So there's a lot of

257
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: conversation that has to revolve around that. If there's a

258
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: guy that they can take at that position and that's

259
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: a dog, I'm pretty sure they would pull the trigger

260
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: on that. I'm gonna go TBD on that man, because

261
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: I think you still have so much the season left

262
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: and the way that the beginning of the season started

263
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: for him with the penalties, he still has some stuff

264
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: to prove um. I think you know when they went

265
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: away from McGovern and with Williams, I think you saw

266
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: immediately when when they went that counter trade. You see

267
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: his ability to move and maybe that's the difference between

268
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: the two how they operate out in space. But either

269
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: way it goes. I mean, I feel I don't want

270
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: to use the word confident. I just I feel better

271
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: with Connor Williams right now with after seeing the little

272
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: small sample size that we got of McGovern and McGovern

273
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: is so freaking good at the full back position, and

274
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown is coming, It's coming. They all want They

275
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: drew that up. Kellen's you here, Kellen Moore yesterday, it's

276
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: he wanted it for McGovern. He wanted that touchdown to

277
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: go to him. But I mean, every game we're seeing,

278
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's with the jumbo package, the whole package,

279
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: whatever it is, all of these offensive linemen are getting

280
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: in on the act. And so we talked about the

281
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: C word. I'm just gonna say that when you gotta

282
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: take another shot this morning. But everybody knows that all

283
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: of these guys, I think they fully anticipate being able

284
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: to play and listening to Jerry Jones this morning, he

285
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: talked about the flex position or being able to use

286
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: guys offensively the offensive line at multiple positions, and that's

287
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: the way that you see Tara Steel operate, McGovern operate

288
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: and also Connor Williams. And I think that's the value

289
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: that we have up front with certain guys. The C

290
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: word is continuity, by the way, just Coty just want

291
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: to throw that out there so that all of our

292
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: family friendly audience. Now with this being said, you're mentioned

293
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: the movement up front, you talk about the left guard

294
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: spot and pulling and allowing the athleticism of Connor Williams

295
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: to shine through. How much does that open up a

296
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: playbook for Kellen Moore? Does that allow you to do

297
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: different things? From a run game standpoint, we mentioned there

298
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: needs to be an uptake and pass blocking in that

299
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: past protection, but from a run game we saw that

300
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: there was some considerable steps forward. Is that just based

301
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: solely on the opening of the playbook with Connor Williams

302
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: up run? I think it definitely helps. Isaiah is shaking

303
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: his head, Yes, So I'm gonna go to Isaiah. But

304
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: I think I just from the layman's perspective, I feel

305
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: like everybody's been begging for them to attack the edges,

306
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: you know all that. I think he's best suited to

307
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: help them do that, and I think we saw more

308
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: of that in the game. And it helps to have

309
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard in the game because that's where he excels

310
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: the most. But I think that, yeah, I think that

311
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: that varies their attack a little bit. Yeah, he allows

312
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: for re to have movement. You know, I don't believe

313
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: that this is a downhill team anymore, at least not

314
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: where we're standing right now currently. So I think that,

315
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: you know, the best, the most advantageous form of running

316
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: for us is obviously trying to get to the edges,

317
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: and when you have running back like TP that can

318
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: come in and give me that change of pace he

319
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: gets out to the edges, when you have guards like

320
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: Connor Williams that can pull and get out there, and

321
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: now he can kick out those defensive ends and work

322
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: his way up inside to the next level of the

323
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: linebackers seal off guys. It allows for you to have

324
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: that movement that you may not have had without him

325
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: in the lineup. I love what you were talking about

326
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: the match up and probably using guys based off of

327
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: where you are guys on the outside or what have you.

328
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: When we know we talked about that Washington football team

329
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: at length, and it was all about matching their tempo

330
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: and their aggressiveness at the line of scrimmage. And you're

331
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: finding that our guards are able to match that. There

332
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:16,959
Speaker 1: are teams that we go up against it a lot

333
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: quicker on the outside, and so the Washington football team

334
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: is one of them, and they will put pressure on

335
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: you and not allow it. But with Zeke and what

336
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: we saw last week with him just looking healthier, if

337
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: we can play smash mouth football through the rest of

338
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: this sea, maybe that's something identity wise, we could kind

339
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: of take that mantle back up, and it's something that

340
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: we use in the playoffs because we're gonna need the

341
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: running game. No matter how you look at it, We're

342
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,719
Speaker 1: gonna need the running game. It would be amazing if

343
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: we can line up and just go down here and

344
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: get four yards. How long has it been since teams

345
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: were afraid of you running the football? Probably years earlier

346
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: this season, But Isaiah's that's a good point, like those

347
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: early in Dak's career when you had Travis Frederick and

348
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,479
Speaker 1: you had what I'm saying that will smash. That's why

349
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: I say a couple of years. Yeah, they you know,

350
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: they put eight nine guys in the box. It didn't matter.

351
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: Zeke's got seventeen hundred ruction yards, you know. And that's again,

352
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: this line is somewhat in transition. They're young at the center,

353
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: spot Tyler Beaches think has played better as the year

354
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: has gone on, but they've had a change at left guard.

355
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: Like they're trying, you know, they're still trying something, still

356
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: trying to find the right mix. And they've had injuries too.

357
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: It's kind of interesting. They've had one hundred and forty six,

358
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: one twenty two, one twenty five on the ground the

359
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: last three weeks. So I mean, as much as this

360
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: run game has been knocked down and torn down, it

361
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: still looks like they're able to produce a certain amount.

362
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: Now a lot of that is garbage time and running

363
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: out the clock. And I think it goes back to

364
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: the reason why I say a couple of years is

365
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: because of how dominant that offensive line was a couple

366
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: of years ago. Yeah, when when Frederick and you had

367
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: Frederick and you had Martin Area, Yeah, you had all

368
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: those guys that were it was straight. We're coming at you.

369
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter who you have, it doesn't matter what

370
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: you do. We're gonna get four or five yards a

371
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: pop coming down here. You don't have to get out

372
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: to the edge now with this particular running scheme that

373
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: we have now and obviously the personnel that we have upfront,

374
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: your your two yards hopefully three yards, and then you're

375
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,479
Speaker 1: hoping for that change of pace, big play. Right now,

376
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: you're hoping for that big play versus before, if it

377
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: was if it was third and three, you didn't have

378
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: third and four. Guess why we can run the ball

379
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: right We don't have to air this thing out. We

380
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: don't have to go in the gun five yards deep

381
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: just to go you know, three yards for us. And

382
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: now you're asking guys to go eight yards no lining

383
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: up and we're coming down hill. And I mean, I've

384
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: been saying running the ball, they got to do it.

385
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: Running is great, but they got to get more explosive plays.

386
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: They didn't have a single explosive pass play in the game.

387
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: And so much of that for this offense comes off

388
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: a play action though, Yeah, so much of that true.

389
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: Right now, I went back all the way to the

390
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: first games, all the big players I'm gonna say, oh,

391
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: but a lot of the big plays came out of

392
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: play action. How many how many play action tries did

393
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: they have this game? Because I didn't feel like they

394
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: utilize play action a ton. I think they did it,

395
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: they tried, They did it a little bit more than

396
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: they did in previous weeks, and I you know, I

397
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: think they figured out that getting Dak out in space

398
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: is better for him as far as the passing game.

399
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: But those explosive plays regardless, Guys, I just feel as

400
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: though if you can continue the death of a thousand

401
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: cuts mentality with this running game, maybe that's the thing.

402
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: It's it's not pretty. Obviously, you want the big players,

403
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: you want the splash plays, but if you're able to

404
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: time of possession, ball control, all of those things, that's

405
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 1: an easy formula in football to win games. And right now,

406
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: all we want to do is clench this up and

407
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs and have home field and advantage.

408
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: That's what I'm sure that's what every Cowboy fan wants.

409
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I would want that. That'd be on my

410
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: Christmas list? You kidding me? Yeah, that'd be awesome. All right,

00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: or you need work. Go go get you a job

458
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: at jobs at Caliber dot com. Bred Man. Yeah, back

459
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: here for Talking Cowboys at a Talking Tuesday, which means

460
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna take some phone calls from Cowboys Nation. And

461
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: first let's talk to one of our good friends, Bob

462
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: in Nashville. Bob, how's it going. You're on Talking Cowboys, Hey, guys,

463
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: great show a column. The guy that you said sounds

464
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: like Doug Nus. Yes, you do, you just like honestly

465
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: in it. It messes with me every single time. Yeah, apologize,

466
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: it's thirty years of coaching. I guess took a toll

467
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: on my voice. But that makes a lot of sense.

468
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: But real quick, you know what, I'm not too concerned

469
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: about our offense in the sense that I think that

470
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: all we need to do is change up a couple

471
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: of things. Continue to pound the run, the run, you know,

472
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: keep the running game going. Dak's got to just take

473
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: those little thinks and dunk. Somebody said it earlier, you know,

474
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: the cut by a thousand, you know, you know, just

475
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: get them a little bit here and there, keep moving

476
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: the change first downs. I think that the big plays

477
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: will come later on down the road as you keep running,

478
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: maybe dinking and dunk into the tight ends, hit some

479
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: short crossing routes. I think that's the recipe. It's been

480
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: my experience, even though on a smaller scale, and when

481
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: you get into the playoffs, it's more fundamentals taking care

482
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: of the football and just imposing your will on a team.

483
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: And I think we have the capability of passing, running,

484
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,239
Speaker 1: and if we take care of the ball, I think

485
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: we're going to be very successful going down the stretch

486
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: into the playoff. I just want to hear your guys

487
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: thoughts about that. I'm I think the big plays will come.

488
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: Thanks guy, appreciate you. Bob as always sound like a coach, boy,

489
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: sounds like it's not like it's like Mike McCarthy, Mike

490
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: McCarthy yesterday. Last two days that we've talked to him,

491
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: he's been talking about fundamentals because it's more scheme early

492
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: on where there's unscouted stuff and then Isaiah knows about this.

493
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: You got you gotta be able to because teams know

494
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: more what you're gonna do. Um. But he likes the

495
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: time of possession right now. He likes the turnover ratio.

496
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: Obviously likes what you know, what the defense is doing,

497
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: and that's more. I mean, that's really encouraging for the

498
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: playoffs when your defense could play like this because it's

499
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: forty point games don't happen as often when the weather

500
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: gets colder and all that. As a good as a coach,

501
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: he's got his head's got to be spinning with the

502
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: way that his defense is playing right now. I mean,

503
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: twelve takeaways in three games, and the question is can

504
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: you continue that streak, And obviously you can't. You know,

505
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: you don't expect for that to be the norm every week,

506
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: but as the competition level goes up, meaning at the quarterback,

507
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: you're starting to see the top of the food chain.

508
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,719
Speaker 1: You know, if you're able to steal, continue to generate

509
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: those turnovers, especially in a winner takes all scenario. Those

510
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: are gonna be big fundamentals. That word, right there is

511
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: everything as your approach the playoffs, because you want to

512
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: do what you're saying, keep the ball away. You can

513
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: play the play a game and keep away, right. You

514
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: want to keep the ball away from those from those

515
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks because they're going to be the best that the

516
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: league has. Right. That's just peering simple on those guys, aren't.

517
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,479
Speaker 1: You can't expect them to make the mistakes that other

518
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have made against your defense. So you're you're hoping

519
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 1: that your defense can simply just you know, hold these guys,

520
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: you know down to lower point totals. And you can't

521
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: really expect them now if they go out there to

522
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: show out and continue playing like they're playing freaking awesome, right,

523
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: But that you can't realistically have that expectation of your

524
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: defense when they're going to start playing against the Aaron

525
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: Rodgers of the world and all these guys. So I

526
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: hope they do. Guys take care of business on defense

527
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: and offensively. Yes, we have to continue to get this

528
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: ground game. And I don't want to hope that the

529
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,239
Speaker 1: big plays come. I want to make the big plays come. Right,

530
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: and that comes in running the ball officially, and that's

531
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: what this team has revolved around. I don't care how

532
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: many guys we got a receiver. You have to run

533
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: the ball in order for this offense to be successful.

534
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: So I have a question for y'all because to that point,

535
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: because like I mentioned, they'd want The longest pass play

536
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: in the game against the Giants was nineteen yards and

537
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: they played all that shell coverage and all that, and

538
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore talked yesterday, but you got to be patient

539
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: with that. You can't try to force things that they're

540
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: gonna give your shoults underneath. You take it, but at

541
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: some point you have to make something, take shots down

542
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: the field, do something to shake them out of it.

543
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: Or is it just simply like we gotta run the

544
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: ball the hell out of the ball until they stopped

545
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: doing this. There were there were two big plays that

546
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: did not happen in the CD drop, the CD drop

547
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: across the middle, and then you also had right there

548
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 1: on the sideline the ball got caught in the air,

549
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: he got got on the wine. There was another on too.

550
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: There was another one too where Dak was rolling out

551
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: to his right and basically tried to take a deep

552
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: shot and what he thought was man to man coverage

553
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: with Amari Cooper over the top, he wound up and

554
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: happened he got hit from behind him fumble. I don't

555
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: know what kind of time he thought he had on

556
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: that particular play all day, but yeah, I'm gonna tell you,

557
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: be honest with you. I was right next to the

558
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: gallop deep throw and that corner was windy. Just I'm

559
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: not trying to got was it was circling right in

560
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: that corner. It was hit me from the makes it

561
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: makes sense, especially in that stadium. I don't take that

562
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: away from him. I mean Christie and the and the

563
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: broadcast said, because I asked which way the wind was going,

564
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: and she said, well, if you look at both goal posts,

565
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: they were both blowing in, which is crazy. The metal

566
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: asking is crazy. And did the first extra point the

567
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,479
Speaker 1: wind got him too, right? Yeah? And then then obviously

568
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: he said he tried to overcompensate for the second one

569
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: and that's when he hit the right goal post. Yeah,

570
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: so you know, but no that that honestly, that end,

571
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: I was watching their kicker during the warm ups and

572
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: he missed, like almost everyone on that end, you know,

573
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: it's just going back to you know something that I

574
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: know Isaiah knows that the temple for the playoffs is

575
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: going to increase times one hundred once, you know, we

576
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: get to wild Card weekend and create our ability, our

577
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: ability to run the ball to steady our team because

578
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: anxiety and everything else is going to be up. And

579
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: that's why we talk about smash mouth. Uh. And right now,

580
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: this this two safeties deep that Dak is having to

581
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: face and the way the teams are playing him. You're right, man,

582
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: He's got to find a way to get them out

583
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: of it. And the only way I feel is through

584
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: the run game. Because if teams are willing to sacrifice

585
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: that much because they believe wholeheartedly that their front five

586
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: can stop our run, that's thank you. And we've got

587
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: to be able to beat them out of that. And

588
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: Dak has got to find a way in the passing

589
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: game to you know slants, you know, gett finding shows

590
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field because they're leaving the

591
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: middle of the field wide open for him. And that's

592
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: they love CD on those routes too, Like that's that's

593
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: you know, just he's got to catch the damn ball.

594
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: I mean, what I think he said he had three drops,

595
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: I played terrible, which is fair. I mean, if he

596
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: has those three we mentioned yesterday, Dak Prescott's probably what

597
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: only five in completion six in completions and he's got

598
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: up close to three hundred yards, so it does make sense.

599
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: There's a lot on both ends of the stick. All right,

600
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: Mike from Iowa, you're on talking Cowboys? What up? Mike?

601
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: What up? Mike? Brian? Brian? Sorry, I went back to

602
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: I went back to last week we had Mike from

603
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: Iowa on the show. But this is Brian from Iowa.

604
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: What up? Brian? Hey, what's up? Guys? What's going on over? Hey? Well,

605
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: I guess one question. I know we're only like four

606
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: weeks and I mean going into the playoffs, but um,

607
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,959
Speaker 1: you know, just like the Cowboys, they have issues right

608
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: now and they're not totally healthy. But but I guess

609
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: gel from one to ten, how confident? How confident are

610
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: you heading towards the playoffs with the Cowboys of being

611
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: a big time t ten yars? Because we know that

612
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys are not just owling team in the playoffs. I

613
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: mean looking into the playoffs that are are showing issue.

614
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: But some teams are you know, like the number one seed.

615
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: You know, they having a lot of luck going on

616
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: their way right now, but they're also showing issues too,

617
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: but they're not showing it right now. But I mean,

618
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: going into the playoffs from scale to one and ten,

619
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: how confident are you of the Cowboys getting backhund track

620
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: and trying to solve those issues. Thank you very much

621
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: for the call, Brian, and appreciate your listing. As always,

622
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: He's got a great point. So before we give our

623
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: one through ten, let's talk about Tampa Bay shut out

624
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: at home by New Orleans, Green Bay one play away

625
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: from potentially losing that game to a backup quarterback in

626
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley who played exceptionally well, by the ways for

627
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Who was the other who are the other ones? Arizona? Yeah,

628
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: getting blown out by Detroit that's a big time too.

629
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: I mean, these division leaders are not indestructible by any means.

630
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: Neither are the Dallas Cowboys at that at that rate.

631
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: But with that being said, I think my confidence level

632
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: would go through the roof if the offense were to

633
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: click the final three weeks. You're putting up points, you're

634
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: having those big, sustainable drives, you're hitting the big play again.

635
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: I think I would go into the playoffs with an

636
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: eight or a nine, but right now I'm probably at

637
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: a six or a seven. You know, I'm come on now,

638
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: y'all know I'm gonna jump out of the cake and

639
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: so at least a forty five off the rif you know,

640
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: I just feel like, you know, for all the things

641
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: that we the criticism that this team gets, that no

642
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: one is recognized the three victories on the road now

643
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: and giving them a gold star for that in December.

644
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: You know, I think if you look around the NFL

645
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: and you just mentioned those teams that have had those

646
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: their losses, Green Bay is the one team that you

647
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: just gotta circle. That man, Aaron Rodgers. No matter what

648
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: it is, what's going on, it just seems like he

649
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,719
Speaker 1: can overcome any adversity and still do his thing. Even

650
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: though they won by one point. My thinking is, even

651
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: when you talk about the NFC East and how bad

652
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: these teams are, hell, we still have teams that are

653
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:06,479
Speaker 1: battling for that seventh position. So leaving the game tonight,

654
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: there's there's something to play for, you know. So I

655
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: just feel like the Cowboys can control what they could control.

656
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: But when you talk about the rest of the NFCUS

657
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: as a group, you got to feel confident with the

658
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: way that our defense is evolved right now to take

659
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: on those teams. So much of the playoffs is about momentum,

660
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: and I feel as that the Cowboys, even though they

661
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: haven't been playing up to their standards, nevertheless, and the

662
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: fans standards and the analysts standards, they haven't been playing

663
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: to their standards. Momentum is seemingly creeping up. Defenses playing

664
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: out of this world, offenses throwing flashes of getting back

665
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: on tracks. So momentum is trending up as you come

666
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: towards the end of the year when you start thinking

667
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: about some of these other teams that we may face

668
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: going into playoffs. You think about teams like the Cardinals. Okay,

669
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, obviously their momentum is down right now. They're

670
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: they're on a downward trend. They lost they lost arguably

671
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: one of the best receivers in the league. Ye that

672
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: hurts them tremendously, and they're really to make big plays.

673
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: So now they're relying on Aj Green to somehow be

674
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: what he was five years ago. Right, That's what they're

675
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: expecting or they're gonna go to Earth's Okay, so that's

676
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 1: what you're expecting that at seas. I don't. I don't.

677
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: My competence level against those guys is pretty dog on

678
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: high because I feel like they're trying to figure it

679
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: out right now when we already are figuring things out.

680
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: You start thinking about the who am I Tampa Bay.

681
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay just lost Godwin unfortunately, Yeah, he's out, and

682
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: Evans has a hamstring. Evans has a hamstring. Fournette has

683
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 1: a hamstring, said, Fournette's gonna miss some time. Hamstring's linger.

684
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: So you got two of your three, of your number one,

685
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: all three of your offensive guys hurting right now. Tom

686
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 1: needs those guys. He can't he can't generate plays himself.

687
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: He needs those guys in order to be there to

688
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: make plays for him. So those guys are trending down

689
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: right now. Then you look at Green Bay. Green Bay

690
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: is scary. Yeah, Green Bays freaking scary, not only because

691
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: of the do they have at quarterback, but because of

692
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: their ability to run the ball with both of their

693
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 1: running backs. Right now and at the moment, you're gonna

694
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: I have to go up there to win. Yeah, which

695
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean it's always a problem. I got a stocking camp.

696
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: Let's go. So as you look at those four teams,

697
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 1: three teams right, three teams. As you look at those

698
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 1: teams right there, there's only one team that I'm like, yeah,

699
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: you better bring your you better bring everything has to

700
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: be clicking that day. If that's the case too, that

701
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 1: would be McCarthy's first return to Green Bay's crazy. Got

702
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 1: the storylines get ready to yeahs and worn? Can you talk?

703
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: By the way, I have no idea, not enough, not enough,

704
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: not enough for that. I took that class. So what's

705
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: your confidence level real quick before we take I'm with you.

706
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: I'd probably put like a seven right now because I

707
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: think you know your defense has to be clicking in January.

708
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 1: It's weird. Though there's three games left in this season,

709
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: and if it's the week of Christmas and that that

710
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 1: is red is weird. It's weird. There's a lot of

711
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: time left for momentum one way or the other. Offensively,

712
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: though they still got it, they still have to find

713
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: some things here and get and get some more consistency.

714
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: It was a step forward in this last game, um,

715
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: but it's not where they want it, and it's not

716
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: where they needed to be in terms of explosive plays

717
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: and continuing to run the football red zone, all those

718
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,760
Speaker 1: things you run into an Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady,

719
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: you're going as good as your defense is playing, you're

720
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: going to have to match some of that. Absolutely. The

721
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: Giants put up six points. That's not going to be

722
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 1: a luxury for you in the playoffs. So I think

723
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: that makes it where I'm not an eight or nine yet.

724
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: They do have the capability to turn the switch eventually,

725
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: but it's been a stretch here where it's not there.

726
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: And you're right about the Buck's injuries, but they had

727
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: that hiccup last Sunday. They had scored thirty plus points

728
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: four straight games before that, so that to me, that's

729
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: more of an operation than a trend. Now, how do

730
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: they handle these injuries though? That's a problem for them. Yeah,

731
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: it was the first time since the merger that a

732
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: team that had entered the week leading the NFL and

733
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: scoring and in points was shut out at home, first

734
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: time ever, So I mean maybe that's yes, yeah, yeah,

735
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: he's gonna be back, and you saw what he did

736
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. A baby um, all right, let's hear

737
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: from Tony in La. Tony, you're on talking Cowboys. What's up, Jimmy? Okay, yeah,

738
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: all right, um Hey, my question is this I'm at

739
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: work right now, but my question is, um, uh, do

740
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: you guys think maybe that like Kelly Moore, Mike McCarty,

741
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: they're kind of like, uh holding their hand, like they

742
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: don't want to show too much of some new plays,

743
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: the d of trying to perfect maybe like um work

744
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: execution of like the run game and differ things like

745
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: that version for the playoffs and not really showing their

746
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: heads too much as far as like the creative players

747
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: that we kind of saw like in the early part

748
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: of the season. Um, maybe they're trying to maybe like

749
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: trying to save that for the playoffs. Do you have

750
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: to get the possibility and uh, this is one let

751
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: you guys know you got doing a great job and

752

761
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: dollars a night. What heck, heck? What are you doing? Bro? Yes, yeah,

762
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: I gotta talk to our produce. I gotta hook up.

763
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: You gotta get the hook up. Seven thousand a night. Uh,

764
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: going back, I'm gonna be staying. Uh So, Tony brought

765
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: up a point that I had kind of brought up

766
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: a little tongue in cheek yesterday about maybe saving some

767
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. I don't know if this is a

768
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: league where you can do that realistically, But Isaiah, what

769
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,439
Speaker 1: is your thought in terms of if that's the case,

770
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: and if it's a possibility, why would they do that?

771
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: You always have some kind of black book put away, right,

772
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: you always have the Waterboy playbook put away A little

773
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,919
Speaker 1: bit on the side, show them a little sample size,

774
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: and most of it is you're setting teams up for

775
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 1: the future. Right, I'm gonna show them this run, I'm

776
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: gonna show them this bootleg. I'm gonna kind of throw

777
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: some little hints out there to kind of expose some

778
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: some uh what's the word. I'm looking for tendencies, right,

779
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: But I suppose some tendencies and then I'm gonna change

780
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,240
Speaker 1: it up on them when I get to the players.

781
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: So yes, in this in that sense, yes, you're always

782
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 1: projecting and setting teams up, you know, putting out there

783
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: what you want them to see, while in the same

784
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: process hoping that you execute the plays, but knowing that

785
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: you have a secondary play off of that that can

786
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 1: come back and kill them later on. But in terms

787
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: of just holding back your offense, that's how you end

788
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: up at Denver Broncold. You know, this guy is the

789
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: only guy know that he could successfully agree and disagree

790
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: with you in the same he did didn't do that?

791
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: Did he totally didn't. You're just like, no, dude, but

792
00:39:56,120 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: they hold back a little bright Johnny Cocker. I'm just saying, man,

793
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: I might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer,

794
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: but man, I'm telling you that looks like they sound

795
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: like an agreement to me. But you wrap it up

796
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 1: there now, I don't agree, he goes. He goes, Tony,

797
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: I really just don't agree with you that. I mean,

798
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: that's I even alluded to this through the Washington football team.

799
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: Knowing that you're gonna have to play them and you know,

800
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: back to back the way that you have, then maybe

801
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: you were holding something back. Um. I think that there

802
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: are parts in the season, especially like when you come

803
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 1: up against AFC competition stuff like that. There maybe because

804
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: there's so much gamanship, it's such a chess match between

805
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: these coaches and they don't want to expose everything. I mean,

806
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: one or five, three the fan if you listen long enough,

807
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: they'll call it sandbagging or whatever is being called these days.

808
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: But I just feel as though you know this team

809
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: in particular. I believe for Kellen Moore with all the

810
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 1: problems that he's having on third down, the red zone problems,

811
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, and you talk about momentum and trying to

812
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 1: get things back going offensively, he's he's got to be

813
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: trying to find everything you possibly can to get four

814
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: back on the road, not just going to a shell

815
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: because you think you're going to clench the playoff spot.

816
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: Kellen was asked this exact question and he said yesterday

817
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: and he said, we're still trying to win games. So

818
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 1: if I feel like something helps us win a game,

819
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: I feel like we'll utilize it. So I think it's

820
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: a fair question because some of the waterboy type stuff,

821
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: formation crazy stuff, like we haven't seen as much of that.

822
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: Maybe there's been less motion, I don't know, but like, yeah,

823
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: there's they're trying to shake out of this rut they've

824
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 1: been in. So I don't I don't really buy that.

825
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: I think when you play a team like the Giants,

826
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 1: there are situations where if you're not threatened by their offense,

827
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 1: you kick the field goal at the end of the

828
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: half and you play. You played at your defense the

829
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: way your defense is playing. But I don't think you

830
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: just totally hold back. I know you hate that, but

831
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:45,919
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I think that was a case

832
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 1: where look, we'll kick, we'll get fifteen points at half.

833
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: We probably don't think they can score fifteen in this game. Yeah,

834
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: so yeah, you know, the last time I really looked

835
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: at or not or not, the last time I really

836
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 1: looked at Kellen Moore and said, hey, you had a

837
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: really good game, it was probably the Minnesota game with

838
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush at quarterback. You can maybe say it against Atlanta,

839
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 1: but Atlanta is just downright terrible. They're just not a

840
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 1: good team. But your boys on that team, Kyle Pitts. Yeah,

841
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: he is my boy, and he's not playing very well

842
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,439
Speaker 1: because he doesn't have anybody else around him. But that's

843
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: kind of the thing is, I don't know if you've

844
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:21,879
Speaker 1: really looked at any of the games lately and said, oh,

845
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,760
Speaker 1: that was Kellen Moore's best stuff. It was New England

846
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: Minnesota straddling the sides of the bye week, and since then,

847
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: I haven't really seen that. So you think he's holding

848
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: back maybe a little bit. Yeah, he might be. I

849
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 1: think there's a chance. All right, let's take our second break.

850
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll wrap things up and look

906
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about tomorrow, because could be a different

907
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: looking Washington team as of the end of tonight. Then

908
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: it will be that the Cowboys face on Sunday. It's

909
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: definitely gonna be a different looking team than what they

910
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: faced two weeks ago. Have you ever seen a change

911
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 1: in a roster as potentially big as this could be

912
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:04,440

00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: they're saying that Garrett Gilbert could be the quarterback. It's

914
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: gonna ask you, is that the case tonight? I'm just saying,

915

Speaker 1: like our team is excited to see the football team.

922
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: You can tell, man from the sounds of the sideline,

923
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 1: if you haven't watched the sounds of the sideline from

924
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: the Washington football game, that that was amazing. By the way, Uh,

925
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: Alex Lily is doing a fantastic, fantastic job. But you know,

926
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: the robbery is renewed. Man. On our side, you know,

927
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 1: we we're looking forward to sitting. They gotta keep that

928
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: same energy that they had from last year. We want Dallas. Yeah,

929
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 1: come on with it, right, I'm this defense it is

930
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: gonna look totally different. I know that. I'm looking forward

931
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: to seeing how our guys respond to a formidable defensive

932
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 1: line with sweat back. Yes, yes, so I'm looking forward

933
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: to seeing. That's a good test, Yes it is. It's

934
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: a good one because they're still not full string, no

935
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: Chase Young. Of course, soon they'll get Montes wet back

936
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 1: who was not there two weeks ago. They'll have three

937
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: or their four they'll get they'll get after a little bit, Yeah,

938
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: they will. I just think energy wise, though. It's gonna

939
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 1: be tough for them, you know. And it's like, it's

940
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: to me, it's a scheduling thing that's weird. It's like, Okay,

941
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 1: you're given the opportunity to reschedule, but you gotta push

942
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: it all the way to Tuesday. We're gonna make you

943
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 1: play a night game, night game, then come back and

944
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: play the Cowboys on Sunday. I'm just saying we're not

945
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: We're not crying for them. It's not ideal for them,

946
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna be a challenge for them.

947
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 1: But Ron River is a great coach and I think

948
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: he'll He'll get them up. Three games in twelve days,

949
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,919
Speaker 1: I know, and every team kind of every team plays

950
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:58,839
Speaker 1: on Thursday. If they tie tonight, then the Cowboys would

951
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:02,879
Speaker 1: be NFC East champions on a Tuesday. Yeah. By the way,
