<v Speaker 1>I appreciate you using it again this week. Brian is

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 1>a superstitious man. I am very vari all right. So

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.039
<v Speaker 1>here we are and Jerry Jones was on the radio

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 1>this morning and we'll get into some of the things

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>that he talked about this morning. But the Cowboys will

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 1>the players? I didn't even hear it. Are they back

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 1>at it today? Are they? They've given an extra day

0:01:55.600 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 1>off the normal schedule light side tomorrow. We got an

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 1>availability in the locker room this afternoon thing, so yeah, gang,

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>so it's normal normal for them. Yesterday though, that's right.

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean they land what you landed at what time?

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Four thirty in the morning, about four fifteen, four thirty,

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 1>and then they were at the Salvation Army social service

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.519
<v Speaker 1>centers in Dallas and four Worth by eleven am, probably

0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>to do to serve Thanksgiving dinners. So they might have

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.360
<v Speaker 1>just pulled all nighters. That's right. They're young enough to

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:30.119
<v Speaker 1>do that, ye try. Plus they sleep on the plane, Dodd,

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>They Yeah, there was a lot of it was pretty

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>quiet going home. There was a lot of sleeping going

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 1>on behind it was quiet. Okay, change since I've been

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:44.239
<v Speaker 1>on him. There was only about four people working and

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:47.520
<v Speaker 1>two of them are in here. Means Bill and I

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>weren't working. That's right, we weren't working, Yeah, William and

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Nick Yeah, Hellman, hellman. Sorry he was next to me,

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 1>although he did fall asleep finally. Yeah, all right, we

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 1>are wide awake and getting at it right now. And

0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:03.839
<v Speaker 1>y'all did you all hear Jerry Jones on the radio

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 1>this morning? Any of you here? Jerry? I heard the most.

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I think I missed the first five minutes. All what

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>was your big takeaway from that? He didn't read comic books,

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 1>that's right. Hmmmm. Asked him about the passing of stan

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Lee and it's stan Lee, right, Yes, that's right. And

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.959
<v Speaker 1>uh so yeah that was the last question. Anything else.

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>I think the thing that the report about over the

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.640
<v Speaker 1>weekend with the uh the changing of the offensive court tour,

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I thought we should go oh sorry, yeah he was.

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 1>He was waiting on you, Bill, waiting on you. I

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 1>was gonna see if mill Mickey was going to ask

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 1>answer the question, but yeah, he did the thing. I

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 1>think that that to me. Uh. Jason Garrett was on

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.520
<v Speaker 1>earlier in the morning with the same guys and they

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:54.320
<v Speaker 1>asked him, and he said absolutely none, no truth, and

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 1>then left it at that, and then that the owner

0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 1>general manager came back and made it a little bit

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 1>more depth to it. And also, you know, I think

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.839
<v Speaker 1>that's a I think that we've all been pretty clear

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 1>on this show that we don't see a coaching change.

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're going to ride this thing out and

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>see what you get. And you know, I had a

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>nice win the other day, and you know, at the

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>end of the year, end of the year, you add

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 1>him up and you see if you were good enough.

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.599
<v Speaker 1>I think there's no there's no reason to make any

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:21.719
<v Speaker 1>type I mean, now they change the offensive line coaches,

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:23.280
<v Speaker 1>and I do want to ask you guys a question

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 1>about that coming up. But yeah, I think that you

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>have to you know, you just stay the course with

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>what you got and see where it takes in and

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 1>make the decision from there. I thought Stephen was even

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 1>more emphatic about it yesterday. Yeah, when he was on

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 1>in the after well I guess late morning early afternoon show,

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.479
<v Speaker 1>he said, if the only people who would know about

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.760
<v Speaker 1>something like that would be in the room discussing those

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.839
<v Speaker 1>kind of things, and we had no discussion about it,

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.839
<v Speaker 1>So nobody else outside our room would know. So it

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 1>is what it is. And yeah, Jerry has said it

0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>recently that there will be no in season coaching moves.

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Like Brian said, they're gonna They've made some bye week

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 1>changes in personnel and with a position coach upfront offensive line,

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 1>and what they did the other day is what they're

0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 1>hoping they can do the rest of the season to

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 1>try to make a run here, and they're gonna have

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:14.919
<v Speaker 1>care was this exact quote. I don't know where that

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:19.280
<v Speaker 1>came from. We didn't consider that at all. Yeah, I

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.279
<v Speaker 1>will say this, I've said it before and Mickey will

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:28.480
<v Speaker 1>echo it. Be weary of the Sunday morning reports on

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:32.920
<v Speaker 1>things going on on NFL campuses because these reporters they

0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:37.280
<v Speaker 1>are under pressure to have something fresh on Sunday mornings

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.120
<v Speaker 1>for their NFL pregame shows and so they've got to

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:44.599
<v Speaker 1>come up with something. And so that you would agree

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:48.480
<v Speaker 1>with that, Mickey, especially mister fifty fifty. Well, everybody's got

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>a job to do, you know. Sometimes you know it's

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>not fresh though, because they're not day to day into it.

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:56.039
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think there was, well they have to

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.159
<v Speaker 1>save it for Sunday morning. Yeah, I mean, there was

0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.599
<v Speaker 1>a one that you know, the Cowboys Garrett had had

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>discussed with Nick Saban about Amari Cooper. Well, you know,

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.159
<v Speaker 1>we kind of talked about that during the week, But

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 1>you're right, because it's a seven day cycle before they

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.080
<v Speaker 1>hit and they gotta You're right, they got to deliver

0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.600
<v Speaker 1>something big on Sunday, and if it truly was news,

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.239
<v Speaker 1>if they truly did have a story there, they wouldn't

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 1>wait till Sunday morning to report it. They report it

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.360
<v Speaker 1>whenever they had the news, which on Thursday or whatever

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:25.040
<v Speaker 1>day of the week it was. So it's it's all speculation,

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:29.720
<v Speaker 1>is all it is. Yeah, I could say I you know,

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:31.839
<v Speaker 1>you knew that they were going to stay the course

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.400
<v Speaker 1>as far as the head coach and the coordinator. Now,

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:38.159
<v Speaker 1>the head coach did leave open the opportunity of him

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>potentially calling place last Tuesday. He did leave that open

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the way his comments, that's something that wasn't made up.

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 1>So if you want to go off that right exactly,

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.160
<v Speaker 1>that's actually that's fair. And that's what led us to

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 1>talk about it on Friday. The possibility because Jason Garrett

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 1>was asked about it last Tuesday at his press conference

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:57.839
<v Speaker 1>and what how did he phrase it? For now, right now,

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 1>right now, right now? He said, yeah, right now, right now,

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:04.240
<v Speaker 1>right now. Yeah, yeah, that's not going to happen right now.

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.280
<v Speaker 1>You could yeah, you could take that as a qualifier.

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:10.120
<v Speaker 1>But you know what, I'll guarantee you on the headset,

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>he's changing things. He's making suggestions. That's what I should

0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:15.960
<v Speaker 1>have asked him in the walk off yesterday. And I

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 1>was kicking myself leaving of you know, was there more

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 1>conversation between you and Scott other than get a play

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.520
<v Speaker 1>ready for fourth down? You know, coaches will click over

0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 1>and say, hey, I'm thinking about this right now, and

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 1>fourth down, have something ready, you know, just to kind

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:32.800
<v Speaker 1>of give the play call or an idea of what

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.240
<v Speaker 1>he's thinking so you know that you don't get caught

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.240
<v Speaker 1>we have to burn the time out or something like that.

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 1>But I wonder if there was a little bit more

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 1>discussion than normal than the normal Hey Scott, what are

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 1>you guy? And you know, he could hear the plays

0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 1>and you know, you would think that you know, maybe

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.520
<v Speaker 1>he says, hey, go back to your run here, go

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:52.960
<v Speaker 1>back to your you know, try and get Coop involved

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 1>here a little bit more. You know, maybe it was

0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.679
<v Speaker 1>there was there more, And I'm kind of kicking myself

0:07:57.680 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 1>for not asking that question, But don't you think that's

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.600
<v Speaker 1>a standard procedure when you get into those situations. I

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 1>think there's a lot of times where we see Jason

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Garrett on the sidelines and he's very intent on listening

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 1>to what's going on. And he seemed he appeared and again,

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I my advantage is getting to sit there and watch

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.480
<v Speaker 1>the game in a studio, and it appeared he was

0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.320
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more animated, and I mean animated waving

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 1>his hands, but a little bit more conversational in this

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 1>game than he normally was. But I don't mean that

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 1>just for him. I mean for regular head coaches to

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 1>tell your offensive coordinator, Okay, you've got two plays to

0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.440
<v Speaker 1>pick this up. Yeah. No, that's that's what I'm saying.

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to ask the question whether there was there

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:39.160
<v Speaker 1>more discussion about play calling as opposed to you're generally

0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.360
<v Speaker 1>what you're saying about, Hey, I'm thinking about going on

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 1>fourth down here? Are you a little bit more involved?

0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Are you a little bit more involved? Not that you

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 1>got the sheet in your hand, but I missed an

0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.640
<v Speaker 1>opportunity right there are the last three or four games

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.199
<v Speaker 1>he's been more involved. Yeah, and I don't know that

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Scuba follow up making way and either making suggestions or saying, hey,

0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:02.960
<v Speaker 1>let's go with this. Yeah. I just think I mean,

0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.319
<v Speaker 1>he's the head coach. Why not. That guy's got your

0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.719
<v Speaker 1>job in his hands. And then and I think you

0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:13.240
<v Speaker 1>got to have some sort of communication, especially sometimes when

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 1>you're up there and I'm down here, right, I got

0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.839
<v Speaker 1>a better feel maybe of what's going on exactly exactly.

0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:21.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you see better up there, but sometimes you

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 1>don't get the feel of what's going on the players.

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Look at the players eyes, look at the player's eyes

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:28.840
<v Speaker 1>and see if they got it or not. You know that.

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:30.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I know Jimmy used to do that routinely

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.000
<v Speaker 1>with North Turner. He would tell North, if you got

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.760
<v Speaker 1>two players to pick this up, pick it up, figure

0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.520
<v Speaker 1>it out. Yeah. Well, the other thing is if you're

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.440
<v Speaker 1>in and that would be a great question, Brian, But

0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:45.320
<v Speaker 1>if you're in Jason Garrett's position, knowing their speculation out

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.000
<v Speaker 1>there about it, you're coming off a good game if

0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 1>you answer that question, Yeah, I was more involved than

0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.560
<v Speaker 1>it makes it look like that you were the reason

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.839
<v Speaker 1>that there was even more positive you know, and so

0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I guess, even if it is off the record, right,

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 1>if I was a fan, if I was a fan,

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, I mean we cover this team.

0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 1>But if I was a fan, I after what I've

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 1>seen and I and I trust me, I respect Scotland

0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.680
<v Speaker 1>in Ahan, but I would have wanted Jason after what

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I saw in Tennessee, I would have wanted Jason Garrett

0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:22.079
<v Speaker 1>to start calling plays. I would, I think Jason. I

0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.640
<v Speaker 1>think Jason Garrett is a very capable play caller, I

0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.080
<v Speaker 1>really really do. And I think that he I think

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.839
<v Speaker 1>he could get I thought, well, I think he could

0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 1>get more guys involved. But you know, Scott did a

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:34.839
<v Speaker 1>nice job in the game. And now whether Jason was

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 1>directing him a little bit more or kind of talking

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:38.840
<v Speaker 1>to him a little bit more, I don't know. But

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 1>I do know that the offense the way that it

0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 1>ran the other night, and I don't think it was

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.720
<v Speaker 1>just as simple as take you know, put Sue Philo

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.199
<v Speaker 1>in there at at left guard. I think the fact

0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 1>the addition to front office made with Mauri Cooper has

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 1>played huge dividends here. You know, the offense appears to

0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.680
<v Speaker 1>have that we had a call or yesterday talk about

0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.080
<v Speaker 1>a little little bit more juice, you know, a little

0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.360
<v Speaker 1>bit more juice with the with the offense. But you know,

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 1>if they had had a bad game in Philadelphia on

0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Sunday night, I would have been when the first ones

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.319
<v Speaker 1>coming in your Monday morning saying Jason Garrett needs to

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 1>call the plays. That would have been me. You know,

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>looking at that Cooper trade now and when you look

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 1>at what's going on around the league with the points

0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 1>being scored in this league, you look back at that

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.560
<v Speaker 1>that that was a move that had to be made.

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.440
<v Speaker 1>And it's not just and I'm not talking about just

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 1>for this year, but going forward. Yeah, I think we're

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.240
<v Speaker 1>looking at this year what the NFL is going to

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.480
<v Speaker 1>be like, not only this year, but next year and

0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 1>on down the road. Where the emphasis on scoring points

0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 1>in this league and it's always kind of been like that,

0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 1>but it's gone. It's almost like it's on steroids now

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 1>where you're getting team scoring over fifty points in games

0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:51.560
<v Speaker 1>and stuff. Yeah, where you had to improve that aspect

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.600
<v Speaker 1>of this Well, they're not letting you smash receivers over

0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:58.280
<v Speaker 1>the middle, and they're not letting you hit the quarterback. Yeah,

0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 1>so they're encouraging you to score points and find ways

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 1>to score points. They're making it very difficult for defenses,

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 1>as we all know. But the violence, the violent aspect

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:13.640
<v Speaker 1>of playing defense now is no longer prevalent in the

0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.240
<v Speaker 1>way these games are being play. The rules are yes

0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 1>designed more now to help the passing game and let

0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 1>that be your first priority as an offense. The Cowboys

0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.439
<v Speaker 1>have done it a little differently, and again it did

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.920
<v Speaker 1>bear itself out to some degree in this last game.

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:32.200
<v Speaker 1>When they run the ball with Zeke and run it effectively,

0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.000
<v Speaker 1>they usually win the football game. I think they're thirteen

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 1>and three when he gets one hundred yards plus. But

0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:39.960
<v Speaker 1>they also got some chunk plays in the passing game

0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 1>the other night, and that was something that's been missing.

0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:44.280
<v Speaker 1>And you mentioned Amari Cooper, and that's been a big

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.920
<v Speaker 1>factor that. The other thing it's done with his presence

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:50.040
<v Speaker 1>is they they finally paired down this rotation at receiver

0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.600
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. They've got their guys, you know, hearns

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:56.960
<v Speaker 1>is being effective, but in fewer snaps it's largely been Cooper,

0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:02.559
<v Speaker 1>Gallop and Beasley should be instead of five six guys

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.040
<v Speaker 1>early in the season when they were trying to figure

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:07.000
<v Speaker 1>it out well Gallup was trying to figure it out too,

0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.720
<v Speaker 1>and so you would have expected at the beginning of

0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.200
<v Speaker 1>the season that Gallop is going to be better the

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.160
<v Speaker 1>second half of the year just because him simply being

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:18.080
<v Speaker 1>a rookie. Yes, Mickey, I was going to say before

0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.840
<v Speaker 1>I thought of this, that can we bury this notion

0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:25.199
<v Speaker 1>that defense wins championships. You've been saying that for how

0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:31.800
<v Speaker 1>long fifteen years? Gallop fifty seven of sixty nine snaps

0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 1>in the game. He had the most of any of

0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 1>the wide receivers. I think he's had the most cumulatively

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:40.760
<v Speaker 1>for three weeks now or so, three or four games.

0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 1>That's the way it should be. I mean, now that

0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Cooper's here, that's going to probably change. But yeah, he's

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:48.880
<v Speaker 1>coming on, He's coming on. He seems more confident and

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Cooper for a new guy, has had one hundred and

0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.680
<v Speaker 1>eleven of one hundred and twenty eight snaps in two games,

0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:00.560
<v Speaker 1>So it should be yeah, yeah, Well they they clearly

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 1>they misseevaluated the whole thing. You know, I think the

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:08.280
<v Speaker 1>misevaluation started with their they believe that they could run

0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:11.000
<v Speaker 1>the ball no matter what. No, and then you know,

0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:14.160
<v Speaker 1>the injury or the illness to the center robbed him

0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:18.200
<v Speaker 1>of that opportunity. The regression of the right tackle robbed

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.680
<v Speaker 1>him of that. You know, and they played some good opponents.

0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I think Mickey's been very adamant about that pointing out

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 1>out I think that you have, you know, played against

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.680
<v Speaker 1>some good defenses that have limited what you can do.

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.120
<v Speaker 1>But you know they're trying to They're they're trying to

0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.320
<v Speaker 1>make it right. And I think through two games, I

0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.760
<v Speaker 1>think we would all say that the at least with

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:40.040
<v Speaker 1>the Marii Cooper, you know, in the game, it gives

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.320
<v Speaker 1>them a chance. I mean third downs of you know,

0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:45.160
<v Speaker 1>at least now it's not just so much a okay,

0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 1>we'll get you, they're actually converting it. At that third

0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:50.200
<v Speaker 1>and fifteen call, I was a great call. You got

0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Michael Gallop in the game and you're throwing it to

0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.720
<v Speaker 1>the short side of the field and it shouldn't work,

0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:56.760
<v Speaker 1>but it did work. And you know, those are the

0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:58.480
<v Speaker 1>types of players you need to have. Man, you can't

0:14:58.520 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 1>go out there and convert a bunch of third and fifty.

0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.240
<v Speaker 1>But at least, why this team you feel like they

0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.280
<v Speaker 1>got a chance. Felt like early in the season, if

0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.840
<v Speaker 1>they were they were dead. Yeah, they were dead. They

0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:09.920
<v Speaker 1>were going to call a screen pad. Yeah, yeah, that

0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:11.800
<v Speaker 1>that was kind of the answer. It was like, okay,

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.360
<v Speaker 1>we just got a sack. It's third and eighteen. Let's

0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.800
<v Speaker 1>throw the screen. We'll get eight yards and we'll punt. Punt.

0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Now you had Now you have the capability of getting

0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the ball in some playmaker's hands. You have the you know,

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.000
<v Speaker 1>get the ball in Gallop's hands, get the ball in

0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.920
<v Speaker 1>a Maury Cooper's hands. You know, Alan hearns, you know,

0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.360
<v Speaker 1>God bless him. And I said it yesterday. He could

0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 1>have he could have just you know, sulked and said okay,

0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:34.720
<v Speaker 1>or you know, I'm not gonna play anymore. I'm just

0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna keep my getting my check every Tuesday and not.

0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.040
<v Speaker 1>But you know, he he gets two or three players

0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.200
<v Speaker 1>a game, and he makes the he makes good of him.

0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 1>He makes you know, he's he's a good route runner.

0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:48.080
<v Speaker 1>He's not fast, you know, he's not quick, but he's reliable.

0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.000
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's really the most important thing. This

0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:53.040
<v Speaker 1>quarterback needs reliable players. And it looks like to me

0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 1>he's got some reliable players now. Now a wide receiver,

0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:58.560
<v Speaker 1>with the way this thing has been paired down, I

0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:01.280
<v Speaker 1>think I think Steven said it yesterday when he said

0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:04.840
<v Speaker 1>they were really suffocating the line of scrimmage on us

0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.480
<v Speaker 1>before Cooper got yeah yeah, and he's right, yeah yeah.

0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:12.360
<v Speaker 1>And I think you saw a huge difference not only

0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:15.160
<v Speaker 1>in his play, but how it's affected everything else. It's

0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.720
<v Speaker 1>not often that so far you've watched Cooper and he

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.480
<v Speaker 1>doesn't win on his route. I mean, he is open

0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:23.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot, and that makes a big difference because it's

0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 1>not only for him, it's what defenses have to do

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.560
<v Speaker 1>to maybe account for that, and all of a sudden,

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:29.680
<v Speaker 1>guys have opportunities that maybe they didn't have early in

0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.440
<v Speaker 1>the season. Well, I think I said it yesterday. But

0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:35.000
<v Speaker 1>if he's going down feeling at nine route and it's

0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.560
<v Speaker 1>a tie, he's opened because he's gonna put it in

0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:41.160
<v Speaker 1>that extra shame they missed him. Yeah, that's what happened

0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:42.880
<v Speaker 1>on that one. The ball got up in the air

0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:44.760
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden he pulled away from

0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:46.960
<v Speaker 1>that guy. That's that's a shame that because you know,

0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>you can't you see, there's there's so much talk about

0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 1>this quarterbacks in accuracy and he can't do this and

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.920
<v Speaker 1>can't get you know, you hit a few of those plays,

0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.200
<v Speaker 1>people are like, going, well, now he threw a good

0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:59.120
<v Speaker 1>deep ball. The other day he threw you know, that

0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:02.080
<v Speaker 1>passed he through Hurns was right before the end of

0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the half was a good pass. The pass he threw

0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:07.040
<v Speaker 1>to Beasley to get eighteen yards after the screen was

0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:10.560
<v Speaker 1>a good pass. Yes, guy's capable. But when he misses

0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:13.680
<v Speaker 1>those open routes, and that's when you start to say,

0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, and we all kind of collectively jump on

0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.280
<v Speaker 1>him about no, he's not doing this and not doing that.

0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.320
<v Speaker 1>If he hits just a few moan of those, I

0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 1>think people would kind of say, Okay, I see it now,

0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I get what's going on here. So yeah, I just

0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I just I'd like to see him hit a few

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:30.560
<v Speaker 1>more of those. And especially with the way that guy

0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.320
<v Speaker 1>can get open, I mean, we see it. He just separates.

0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:35.840
<v Speaker 1>He's just a different player out there. But I think

0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.400
<v Speaker 1>he's got to get used to that because I think

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:41.160
<v Speaker 1>in the quarterback, yeah, in his mind was if I

0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:44.360
<v Speaker 1>underthrow this, this is gonna be bad. Yeah, so let

0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:46.280
<v Speaker 1>me get it out there. Oh, you would rather much

0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:48.879
<v Speaker 1>for them overthrow a ball that they land and hope,

0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.479
<v Speaker 1>like hell that gallop and Cooper and those guys can

0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 1>run those down. But man, I mean that open, you know,

0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean Douglas, the Douglas, the cornerback was waving his

0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:02.240
<v Speaker 1>arms like incomplete and like, bro, you were burned so bad?

0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Why you celebrate? You ought to be like pumps up

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:10.760
<v Speaker 1>to the heavens. That was relieved. That was scared reaction

0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:14.560
<v Speaker 1>is what that was. Yeah. Yeah, I'm looking back through

0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the play by play of Sunday Nights game, and Brian,

0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.240
<v Speaker 1>you were big hitting on the fact that they didn't

0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:25.280
<v Speaker 1>take advantage of their opportunities in the first time exactly,

0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:28.760
<v Speaker 1>and I agree with that. However, when you look at

0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.320
<v Speaker 1>the second half of that game, and especially when you

0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:34.880
<v Speaker 1>put it in the context of what happened the week

0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:38.760
<v Speaker 1>before with this team against Tennessee, where in the third

0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:43.120
<v Speaker 1>quarter Tennessee took control of that game and Dallas basically

0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:47.120
<v Speaker 1>whimpered and went home, you know, And when you look

0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 1>at the third quarter of this game, Dallas had a

0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:52.840
<v Speaker 1>three and out to start the third quarter. Eagles come down,

0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.240
<v Speaker 1>they kick a field goal. They had a thirteen three lead. Okay,

0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Eagles kick a field goal on their first drive. Now

0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:00.800
<v Speaker 1>it's thirteen six. Then you have a miss field goal

0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:04.399
<v Speaker 1>after their long Zeke runs, right, all right, so there's

0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:09.920
<v Speaker 1>some more unforced adversity, right, Okay, Eagles come down, They

0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:12.600
<v Speaker 1>put together a sixty eight yard drive and tie the

0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:15.600
<v Speaker 1>game up at thirteen. So now with two minutes left

0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:19.639
<v Speaker 1>in the third quarter, this game is getting away from you, right, okay.

0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:22.520
<v Speaker 1>And what do they do at that point? They use

0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Zeke seven of nine plays on a touchdown drive of

0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:30.119
<v Speaker 1>seventy five yards and take control of the game again

0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.199
<v Speaker 1>at twenty to thirteen. I mean, there were there was

0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:37.159
<v Speaker 1>a couple of passes to Zeke, including the it started

0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:39.359
<v Speaker 1>with a past to Zeke, it ended with a past

0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:41.480
<v Speaker 1>to Zeke, and there were five Zeke runs in the

0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:45.760
<v Speaker 1>middle of that nine play drive. And that's what they

0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.760
<v Speaker 1>had not done in the second half of games previously

0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.879
<v Speaker 1>that they lost. Is this where we're seeing the influence

0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:55.520
<v Speaker 1>of Mark Colombo a little bit as a line coach.

0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:58.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, maybe at you know, the Tennessee game, you

0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:00.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of you're thinking, Okay, this is new, you know,

0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:03.239
<v Speaker 1>new opportunity for him. But you know, now now the

0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:07.639
<v Speaker 1>second weekend, is this where we're seeing a little bit

0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:13.919
<v Speaker 1>more toughness and physical aggressiveality. Yeah, Dak Dak and Zeke

0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:19.840
<v Speaker 1>after the game mentioned the offensive line coach. Yeah, and

0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I've ever heard that before, you say, oh,

0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:29.320
<v Speaker 1>the offensive line picked it up. They specifically mentioned Colombo

0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:33.600
<v Speaker 1>as as there was a difference out there. So and oh,

0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:36.240
<v Speaker 1>by the way, after the Cowboys take that twenty to

0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:39.240
<v Speaker 1>thirteen lead, the Eagles come back down again and score

0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:42.040
<v Speaker 1>in seventy four yard seven play drive. So they scored

0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:45.480
<v Speaker 1>on their first three possessions of the second half. So

0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:47.240
<v Speaker 1>now you're tied up again, and now you got to

0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:49.600
<v Speaker 1>do it again, and they did it again to take

0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:52.040
<v Speaker 1>the lead. And then you had finally had the drive

0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:55.440
<v Speaker 1>where vander esh and Heath made the plays a critical

0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:57.720
<v Speaker 1>on third and fourth down. Yeah, they needed a couple

0:20:57.720 --> 0:20:59.640
<v Speaker 1>of plays, right, and they strick out him. They strick

0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:01.600
<v Speaker 1>ot him, I think. And they that last one was

0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:05.320
<v Speaker 1>throwing the football, right, that's yea touchdown drive. Right. Well,

0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:08.399
<v Speaker 1>well they had you're talking Dallas's drive. Yeah, Well, they

0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:10.960
<v Speaker 1>started throwing the football and then they ended it with Zeke.

0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Of course, they got down on the goal line and

0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:15.320
<v Speaker 1>then they handed it to Zeke, which isn't in contrast

0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:17.840
<v Speaker 1>to what the offensive coordinator has done at times in

0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:19.639
<v Speaker 1>the past when you got first in Gold at the

0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:22.320
<v Speaker 1>two yard line Seattle last year, and you don't hand

0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:25.440
<v Speaker 1>it to Zie in the game too, he didn't get

0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:29.960
<v Speaker 1>it down there close. I'm wrong, Zeke. He didn't touch

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:32.239
<v Speaker 1>the ball around that kind of quarterback sneak when they

0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:34.359
<v Speaker 1>got down at the end of the half. Yeah, what

0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:37.640
<v Speaker 1>were I thinking of? I'll think about it. It might

0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:41.480
<v Speaker 1>have been the touchdown last week too. I was. I

0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:43.480
<v Speaker 1>was hopeful that they would just keep handing to the

0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Zeke and if he was getting stopped at getting closer,

0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I was okay with that because I kiss I kept

0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:52.000
<v Speaker 1>seeing the clock run, you know, I was like, okay,

0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:54.800
<v Speaker 1>keep running, keep running, keep running, keep running. And you know,

0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:57.440
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to I started to realize the condition

0:21:57.440 --> 0:21:59.479
<v Speaker 1>of my defense wasn't very good. But they made They

0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:02.520
<v Speaker 1>end up making to stop. But I was worried at

0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:04.359
<v Speaker 1>the end of that football game. I didn't want to

0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:06.640
<v Speaker 1>send h I didn't want to send those guys back

0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:08.520
<v Speaker 1>out there with a lot of time, you know, to

0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:11.160
<v Speaker 1>have to deal with there. I'm sorry, I was thinking

0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:13.520
<v Speaker 1>of the after the Zeke hurdle play, they get down

0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:15.720
<v Speaker 1>to the eight r and Zeke doesn't touch it again.

0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:18.440
<v Speaker 1>They wind up kicking a field goal plus four deck

0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:22.400
<v Speaker 1>plus zero sack. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, Well, because they were

0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:23.720
<v Speaker 1>trying to throw it, he might have you know, he

0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:26.280
<v Speaker 1>might have needed a breatherer too. I'm tired of that

0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:29.679
<v Speaker 1>breather stuff too. By the way, he didn't need a breather, okay,

0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 1>but no, right after the run, it's the play was

0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:37.280
<v Speaker 1>hardly over and then you they're they're sending Smith in. Yeah,

0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:41.119
<v Speaker 1>is that okay? I'm just talking about the eye test, guys?

0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Is is he in good condition? Am I asking a

0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:49.080
<v Speaker 1>question that's this in week ten that I shouldn't be asking?

0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:51.439
<v Speaker 1>Or is you know, does he is? He? Does he

0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:55.840
<v Speaker 1>look like he's physically he didn't tap out? Yeah, I

0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:57.680
<v Speaker 1>saw it on the on the I saw it when

0:22:57.800 --> 0:23:00.600
<v Speaker 1>the replay and they had Smith coming in right away

0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:03.520
<v Speaker 1>before they even got close to the huddle. Yeah. A

0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:05.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of fans were asking about that on Twitter during

0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:10.280
<v Speaker 1>the game. Burst there was a burst. I mean, he

0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:14.040
<v Speaker 1>did hurdle that guy. That was pretty impressive. The thirty

0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:15.840
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't even as long as run. He had the

0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:19.440
<v Speaker 1>thirty five yard run, which I thought he was gonna

0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:21.280
<v Speaker 1>take it to the house and he didn't quite do it.

0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't tell that they had the end zone camera.

0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh you were still upset? What do you think of that?

0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I was screaming in the get Taylor's like, Brian, shut up.

0:23:34.000 --> 0:23:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I was screaming it. And then they were trying to

0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:38.160
<v Speaker 1>tell me it's the video game look, And I don't

0:23:38.200 --> 0:23:40.560
<v Speaker 1>like the I mean, I don't mind watching games and stuff,

0:23:40.680 --> 0:23:44.959
<v Speaker 1>end zone stuff, but I didn't like Yeah, I mean

0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:48.359
<v Speaker 1>you lose perspective on where he is on the field

0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:52.159
<v Speaker 1>running and and of course I tweaked something out about

0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:55.840
<v Speaker 1>it a couple of times, and and and you got killed.

0:23:55.840 --> 0:23:58.560
<v Speaker 1>I bet no, no, no, people agreed, no, no, I

0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:02.639
<v Speaker 1>it was at nine to one agreeing with me. And

0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:04.640
<v Speaker 1>then the one guy is, ah, noah, you can watch

0:24:04.680 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 1>it much better that way. Well, yeah, I got no

0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:09.600
<v Speaker 1>problem on coaches film. Yeah, I'd love watching the end

0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:13.160
<v Speaker 1>zone angle on a replay, Yeah, but not live action.

0:24:13.280 --> 0:24:16.000
<v Speaker 1>And it's a it's a promotional gimmick that NBC's doing

0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:19.480
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday Night Football. And it's ridiculous With Zeke. I mean,

0:24:20.160 --> 0:24:22.000
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to argue with the way he played in

0:24:22.000 --> 0:24:24.919
<v Speaker 1>the game. I mean he was he was fantastic. Um

0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:27.239
<v Speaker 1>that's maybe his best game of the season other than

0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:30.359
<v Speaker 1>a Detroit game. He did have that stuff the knee

0:24:30.359 --> 0:24:33.359
<v Speaker 1>and the ankle mid season. He's not on the injury

0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:36.720
<v Speaker 1>report any anymore. He lines up in play. Yeah, question,

0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:38.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you think something might be still bothering him

0:24:38.600 --> 0:24:41.080
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. I don't know, and I'd like to

0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:44.040
<v Speaker 1>find out, because there's there's a couple of runs there

0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:48.720
<v Speaker 1>that I thought, he man, that Zeke's gonna finish this thing. Yeah,

0:24:48.760 --> 0:24:50.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean thinking, man, he turns the corner and he

0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:53.399
<v Speaker 1>goes and generally nobody catches him, you know. And we

0:24:53.440 --> 0:24:55.280
<v Speaker 1>saw it on the screen the other day that he

0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:57.480
<v Speaker 1>had a good run, you know, he finished a run there,

0:24:57.520 --> 0:24:59.800
<v Speaker 1>and I just kind of was, I was thinking, what

0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:02.359
<v Speaker 1>he gets in the open field. I've always believed that

0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:04.639
<v Speaker 1>he has a chance to finish the run, you know,

0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:06.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and I and and then there was a

0:25:06.359 --> 0:25:08.919
<v Speaker 1>couple of times there where I'm like, oh, you know,

0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:11.240
<v Speaker 1>and hey, he lost his balance when he jumped over

0:25:11.280 --> 0:25:14.040
<v Speaker 1>the guy. That was unfortunate, you know, because I thought

0:25:14.080 --> 0:25:16.840
<v Speaker 1>he was going to finish that run. But one on

0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:20.359
<v Speaker 1>the sideline he ran out of space, right he was

0:25:20.400 --> 0:25:22.840
<v Speaker 1>trying to turn the corner and he and he got

0:25:22.920 --> 0:25:24.800
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden, he started veering out

0:25:24.800 --> 0:25:27.800
<v Speaker 1>of balance and that's what they caused a fumble. Matter

0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:31.840
<v Speaker 1>of fact, jake out of his hand. Yeah, Yeah, so

0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:34.879
<v Speaker 1>they gave him a fumble on that play. But he

0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:37.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, I just I don't know. I'm trying to

0:25:37.320 --> 0:25:39.800
<v Speaker 1>figure I'm trying to figure out because I just every

0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:42.560
<v Speaker 1>time I've ever seen him get in space, I've seen

0:25:42.640 --> 0:25:45.960
<v Speaker 1>him just run away from people, and I wonder if,

0:25:46.000 --> 0:25:49.200
<v Speaker 1>like you said, Rob, is it is it? Is it physical?

0:25:49.880 --> 0:25:54.119
<v Speaker 1>Or is there something else going on here? You know? Yeah,

0:25:54.280 --> 0:26:00.399
<v Speaker 1>maybe I'm making too much else. Yeah, he absolutely did, Mickey,

0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:02.560
<v Speaker 1>but he probably could have had two hundred and fifty yards.

0:26:02.720 --> 0:26:05.800
<v Speaker 1>The bar is pretty high for him, you know, It's like, yeah,

0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:08.000
<v Speaker 1>could he could he have done a little bit more? Yeah,

0:26:08.000 --> 0:26:10.040
<v Speaker 1>because he had another thirty six in the passing game,

0:26:10.160 --> 0:26:12.399
<v Speaker 1>so he wound up with one hundred and eighty seven. Yeah.

0:26:12.440 --> 0:26:16.200
<v Speaker 1>And it reminded me of Halloween twenty five years ago

0:26:16.400 --> 0:26:18.320
<v Speaker 1>and Emmett Smith when he ran for two hundred and

0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:20.879
<v Speaker 1>thirty seven yards against the Eagles and he did not

0:26:20.920 --> 0:26:22.960
<v Speaker 1>have any catches that I looked it up, and so

0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:25.720
<v Speaker 1>he was on a pace to do that had they

0:26:25.840 --> 0:26:28.720
<v Speaker 1>given him the football in the last drive of the game,

0:26:28.800 --> 0:26:32.240
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I mean the last possession. Yeah, with

0:26:32.480 --> 0:26:36.320
<v Speaker 1>getting the ball back with a minute nine left, they

0:26:36.359 --> 0:26:39.360
<v Speaker 1>got it fast. Yeah. I didn't get face masked, but

0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I do not there with that flight call, No, there was.

0:26:42.760 --> 0:26:46.920
<v Speaker 1>It was running outside what you're what you're risking. There

0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:49.680
<v Speaker 1>is a holding call that's gonna set you back ten

0:26:49.760 --> 0:26:51.600
<v Speaker 1>yards and you have no chance to get in the

0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:55.919
<v Speaker 1>first That's exactly right. Yeah, and then it was passed

0:26:55.920 --> 0:26:58.719
<v Speaker 1>to Beasley and then you know, Dak whatever. You know.

0:26:58.800 --> 0:27:02.040
<v Speaker 1>But if you just run Zeke between the tackles, try

0:27:02.040 --> 0:27:03.920
<v Speaker 1>to get the first down and in the game. Yeah,

0:27:04.080 --> 0:27:06.680
<v Speaker 1>but if you're running sideways, we said that on the sideline,

0:27:06.720 --> 0:27:09.000
<v Speaker 1>like they've got their time outs, but can they stop

0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:11.600
<v Speaker 1>them stop Zeke from getting a first down? And basically

0:27:11.600 --> 0:27:14.400
<v Speaker 1>you get a first down, then you're the game's over. Yeah.

0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:16.720
<v Speaker 1>The officials clearly helped. If you go back and watch

0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:19.280
<v Speaker 1>the play, Zeke gets face mask John Perry and his

0:27:19.400 --> 0:27:22.119
<v Speaker 1>crew just don't call it right, you know, that's okay.

0:27:22.200 --> 0:27:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Now that's a fifteen yard penalty forward and then that's

0:27:25.040 --> 0:27:27.920
<v Speaker 1>a Now they're having to deal with a new set

0:27:27.920 --> 0:27:29.919
<v Speaker 1>of downs. A fresh set and they're not gonna be

0:27:29.960 --> 0:27:32.040
<v Speaker 1>They're not gonna go get the ball back right. So yeah,

0:27:32.160 --> 0:27:35.240
<v Speaker 1>and that's the way it is. I mean, these games,

0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:37.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, but how many penalties did the Eagles get

0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:42.000
<v Speaker 1>called for? Well, Mickey, we know the question. I mean,

0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:43.720
<v Speaker 1>just thought i'd bring that up. Now we know the

0:27:43.720 --> 0:27:46.440
<v Speaker 1>answer to that. I guess we're taking breaks here on

0:27:46.560 --> 0:27:52.000

<v Speaker 1>say it. It might have been ten years, Just just

0:31:23.000 --> 0:31:27.120
<v Speaker 1>ten years. Yeah, since I when I started going on

0:31:27.120 --> 0:31:29.840
<v Speaker 1>the trips to do the show. How are those trips

0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:34.800
<v Speaker 1>long and tiring? Do you know what time when they

0:31:34.840 --> 0:31:36.720
<v Speaker 1>start in the morning? No, I don't. I've never been

0:31:36.720 --> 0:31:39.240
<v Speaker 1>on five o'clock. I've done three of them, and it's

0:31:39.240 --> 0:31:41.280
<v Speaker 1>not the worst thing in the world. He's on ourselves.

0:31:41.560 --> 0:31:44.120
<v Speaker 1>That's fine. You're in paradise for a week. It's okay.

0:31:44.200 --> 0:31:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I just said it was long and tiring. I didn't

0:31:46.240 --> 0:31:53.160
<v Speaker 1>say those Oh, okay, it's wonderful, Bill. So what work

0:31:53.200 --> 0:31:57.600
<v Speaker 1>are you doing there? You're watching the photos sheets, You're

0:31:57.680 --> 0:32:01.440
<v Speaker 1>watching cheerleaders photos shot, you goin doing interviews, you have

0:32:01.520 --> 0:32:05.280
<v Speaker 1>to gotten to So how would you do a show

0:32:05.320 --> 0:32:10.760
<v Speaker 1>without interviews? Well, is that nautique swimsuit one of your favorites?

0:32:10.840 --> 0:32:13.960
<v Speaker 1>And that's and that's seeing that's the hard part, asked Rob.

0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Because you can do it that way and it's the

0:32:16.000 --> 0:32:18.479
<v Speaker 1>most boring thing in the world. But if you're on

0:32:18.560 --> 0:32:21.800
<v Speaker 1>top of your game, you find something out interesting about

0:32:21.840 --> 0:32:25.200
<v Speaker 1>the ladies that is more than just putting a bathing

0:32:25.200 --> 0:32:27.280
<v Speaker 1>suit on. Micky, you remember I asked the cheerleader, those

0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:29.640
<v Speaker 1>those two girls, I asked if they've ever cheered Mad

0:32:30.360 --> 0:32:34.120
<v Speaker 1>cheered Mad? Yeah? Did you ask ycause he covers the

0:32:34.160 --> 0:32:36.600
<v Speaker 1>team Mad. Yeah. Yeah. Mickey and I. Mickey and I

0:32:36.680 --> 0:32:39.000
<v Speaker 1>had were doing interviews with the cheerleader. We were doing

0:32:39.080 --> 0:32:41.200
<v Speaker 1>media training India Chin. A matter of fact, it was

0:32:41.280 --> 0:32:44.160
<v Speaker 1>like six hours of work. Mickey and I were doing it.

0:32:44.160 --> 0:32:45.840
<v Speaker 1>We I think we were on for thirty seconds that

0:32:46.480 --> 0:32:48.640
<v Speaker 1>CMTE thing. So we didn't do it for the face.

0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I got a boot. I gotta signed cheerleader boot out

0:32:51.400 --> 0:32:52.680
<v Speaker 1>of the deal. It's one of the most interesting thing.

0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:54.400
<v Speaker 1>We've got two of them right now. Yeah, so you

0:32:54.480 --> 0:32:57.400
<v Speaker 1>got a pair, and so where do you have this

0:32:58.560 --> 0:33:01.600
<v Speaker 1>your office? Your boots closet? I haven't figured out a

0:33:01.640 --> 0:33:04.400
<v Speaker 1>spot to put. Yeah, put in the office anyway. No,

0:33:04.480 --> 0:33:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I asked the cheerleader, I do you ever cheer Mad?

0:33:07.240 --> 0:33:08.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, like you know, you you ever get like

0:33:08.760 --> 0:33:10.600

0:33:22.120 --> 0:33:25.760
<v Speaker 1>You remember who cheered Mad? Who cheered Mad? Sonny? That's

0:33:25.760 --> 0:33:28.960
<v Speaker 1>some sense. She was the biggest cowboy fans ever growing

0:33:29.080 --> 0:33:32.080
<v Speaker 1>up that she would like she would tell us, yeah,

0:33:32.080 --> 0:33:36.640
<v Speaker 1>I gotta have that forced smile. Yeah. Well all right,

0:33:36.760 --> 0:33:40.200
<v Speaker 1>and and and know this too. She's still she's got

0:33:40.760 --> 0:33:43.560
<v Speaker 1>three kids now, two kids. They still have the cuss

0:33:43.640 --> 0:33:46.840
<v Speaker 1>cup when they watch the game, Like when you cuss

0:33:47.000 --> 0:33:50.720
<v Speaker 1>that's good money, fuck it? Yeah, the kids do. Yeah,

0:33:53.280 --> 0:33:56.000
<v Speaker 1>that was training them. Well, Bill, all right, let's go

0:33:56.040 --> 0:33:59.960
<v Speaker 1>to Dave in California. You're up on talking cowboys. Hello day,

0:34:00.760 --> 0:34:04.080
<v Speaker 1>good morning. How are you guys doing the fun game

0:34:04.120 --> 0:34:09.040
<v Speaker 1>one that I've been watching tape on Atlanta and I

0:34:09.080 --> 0:34:11.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you guys have done that yet, but gosh,

0:34:11.520 --> 0:34:13.919
<v Speaker 1>we don't match up well. They're so strong on both

0:34:13.960 --> 0:34:17.360
<v Speaker 1>sides of the line, and they're still players are good,

0:34:17.400 --> 0:34:20.360
<v Speaker 1>but they just don't tackle well and the receivers are

0:34:20.440 --> 0:34:23.480
<v Speaker 1>dropping balls and it keeps the other teams in the game.

0:34:24.000 --> 0:34:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to hear your thoughts on that. I just

0:34:25.960 --> 0:34:30.080
<v Speaker 1>don't think we can go down there and overcome turnover

0:34:30.600 --> 0:34:33.440
<v Speaker 1>or a bad special teams play. We don't have the talent.

0:34:33.480 --> 0:34:36.040
<v Speaker 1>We don't match up well enough to overcome that down there.

0:34:37.000 --> 0:34:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I also watched Washington since their offensive line got beat up,

0:34:41.280 --> 0:34:45.000
<v Speaker 1>and they're not the same team. They're struggling. The quarterback

0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:47.400
<v Speaker 1>isn't comfortable back there, and I don't think that's the

0:34:47.480 --> 0:34:49.640
<v Speaker 1>team we're in a race with. I think we're going

0:34:49.680 --> 0:34:51.920
<v Speaker 1>to be in a race with Philly doin this division.

0:34:52.920 --> 0:34:55.799
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to hear your thoughts on that. And you

0:34:55.800 --> 0:35:00.719
<v Speaker 1>guys are talking about Sunday Morning reporting and how much

0:35:00.760 --> 0:35:04.960
<v Speaker 1>pressure they're under to get in a story. Gosh, don't

0:35:05.040 --> 0:35:10.040
<v Speaker 1>justify that. We don't need lazy reporting the way this

0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:14.120
<v Speaker 1>nation's going right now. Let's hold them accountable too. All right, guys,

0:35:14.160 --> 0:35:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Thanks all right, thank you, Dave. Last part was the

0:35:17.640 --> 0:35:22.720
<v Speaker 1>best thing, he said. Atlanta. Of course, Atlanta had injury

0:35:22.760 --> 0:35:26.520
<v Speaker 1>issues on defense the early part of the season. They

0:35:26.880 --> 0:35:29.680
<v Speaker 1>have gotten the linebacker back, haven't they. I haven't watched

0:35:29.680 --> 0:35:32.240
<v Speaker 1>their defense. I've watched their offense. I've started on their offense,

0:35:32.360 --> 0:35:35.720
<v Speaker 1>and I've asked Jones. Yeah, he's really a good player,

0:35:35.760 --> 0:35:39.000
<v Speaker 1>and I have a better feel for what they're doing offensively.

0:35:39.040 --> 0:35:41.840
<v Speaker 1>He's right about them dropping some footballs. They're going to

0:35:41.920 --> 0:35:44.520
<v Speaker 1>get a lot of guys involved though. You know, when

0:35:44.560 --> 0:35:48.200
<v Speaker 1>you talk about Jones and snow Ridley, of course, I

0:35:48.200 --> 0:35:51.080
<v Speaker 1>mean they threw a ball at his kid, Hall number

0:35:51.160 --> 0:35:54.880
<v Speaker 1>seventeen and Marvin Hall, Yeah, and he dropped it. So yeah,

0:35:54.920 --> 0:36:00.000
<v Speaker 1>they've got Offen. Yeah, Hooper is a big player for them,

0:36:00.040 --> 0:36:03.400
<v Speaker 1>play play twelve personnel stuff, Matt Ryan throwing the ball

0:36:03.440 --> 0:36:05.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot on the move, you know, I mean by design,

0:36:05.800 --> 0:36:08.359
<v Speaker 1>not him having to move around a bunch. But they

0:36:08.480 --> 0:36:11.359
<v Speaker 1>they are a big play action team. You're gonna have

0:36:11.400 --> 0:36:14.440
<v Speaker 1>to be ready for a lot of fakes. That way,

0:36:14.480 --> 0:36:17.600
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna have to be ready for guys that you know,

0:36:17.680 --> 0:36:20.319
<v Speaker 1>a lot of boots waggles, nakeds things like that. That's

0:36:20.400 --> 0:36:23.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of what their offense is. Tevin Coleman is a

0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:26.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of an all around back. His ability to catch

0:36:26.320 --> 0:36:28.719
<v Speaker 1>to run I think is really good. And then they're

0:36:28.800 --> 0:36:32.200
<v Speaker 1>using Edo Smith as well, and Edo Smith is a

0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:34.799
<v Speaker 1>guy they'll throw the football too. So just my first

0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:37.400
<v Speaker 1>little indication watching the Washington game. I just started at

0:36:37.440 --> 0:36:38.960
<v Speaker 1>matter of fact that I just got done with the

0:36:38.960 --> 0:36:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland game, so we'll see some more. But it looks

0:36:41.719 --> 0:36:46.080
<v Speaker 1>like things are pretty much intact for them offensively when

0:36:46.080 --> 0:36:48.320
<v Speaker 1>it comes to the line and stuff like that. I do.

0:36:49.080 --> 0:36:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I do think you're gonna have to deal with a

0:36:50.560 --> 0:36:52.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of receivers and you know, I can say if

0:36:52.520 --> 0:36:54.520
<v Speaker 1>they continue to drop the football and then that will

0:36:54.560 --> 0:36:58.200
<v Speaker 1>help you in that regard. He's right about Washington. I

0:36:58.239 --> 0:37:02.319
<v Speaker 1>know that that's the next game after Atlanta. But their

0:37:02.400 --> 0:37:05.719
<v Speaker 1>injuries up front have affected them, and they you know,

0:37:05.760 --> 0:37:06.920
<v Speaker 1>they had something to do with it, but they were

0:37:06.960 --> 0:37:08.759
<v Speaker 1>fortunate the Tampa Bay gave the ball away as much

0:37:08.800 --> 0:37:10.839
<v Speaker 1>as they did in that game. With five hundred plus

0:37:10.960 --> 0:37:13.680
<v Speaker 1>yards of total offense whatever the Bucks had in that game,

0:37:14.320 --> 0:37:16.600
<v Speaker 1>how do you have five hundred yards with three points?

0:37:16.600 --> 0:37:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Three points? Yeah, crazy has that ever happened. I wonder,

0:37:22.080 --> 0:37:24.440
<v Speaker 1>or at least not a long time now, what happened

0:37:24.440 --> 0:37:29.280
<v Speaker 1>to Atlanta in Cleveland. Baker Mayfield happened. Yeah, he felt dangerous.

0:37:29.280 --> 0:37:31.640
<v Speaker 1>He woke up that morning just feeling dangerous. So their

0:37:31.640 --> 0:37:35.800
<v Speaker 1>defense didn't play very well the Atlantis. I didn't see that.

0:37:36.160 --> 0:37:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I haven't watched Atlanta's defense yet, so I can't tell you.

0:37:38.440 --> 0:37:40.520
<v Speaker 1>I didn't watch the game. I know they're offense though

0:37:41.800 --> 0:37:44.719
<v Speaker 1>that Cleveland did a pretty good job of them hanging

0:37:44.760 --> 0:37:46.680
<v Speaker 1>in there with them, you know, didn't allow him to.

0:37:48.239 --> 0:37:50.879
<v Speaker 1>But the caller's right, I mean the drops or something.

0:37:50.880 --> 0:37:52.799
<v Speaker 1>You would not think that, you know, Atlanta, the way

0:37:52.840 --> 0:37:54.680
<v Speaker 1>they are with the receivers, that they would drop the

0:37:54.680 --> 0:37:57.160
<v Speaker 1>ball as much as they have. But they it's clear.

0:37:57.160 --> 0:37:58.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they have guys that are open, I mean

0:37:58.960 --> 0:38:02.239
<v Speaker 1>wide open. They're dropping the football. So that's that's if.

0:38:02.600 --> 0:38:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully that trend will carry on for them in this week.

0:38:06.719 --> 0:38:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Nick Chubb for Cleveland ran for one hundred and seventy

0:38:10.400 --> 0:38:13.279
<v Speaker 1>six yards on twenty carries in a touchdown. He also

0:38:13.320 --> 0:38:16.160
<v Speaker 1>had three catches thirty three yards in a touchdown. Mayfield

0:38:16.239 --> 0:38:19.480
<v Speaker 1>was seventeen out of twenty for two hundred and sixteen

0:38:19.560 --> 0:38:22.400
<v Speaker 1>yards ten yards for attempts. I know coming into this

0:38:22.520 --> 0:38:25.120
<v Speaker 1>game that they've had six straight games where they've given

0:38:25.200 --> 0:38:28.040
<v Speaker 1>up three touchdown passes in the game. I think that's

0:38:28.120 --> 0:38:30.359
<v Speaker 1>I think that's Atlanta. Yea Atlanta has I think they're

0:38:30.360 --> 0:38:33.840
<v Speaker 1>on a bad run that way, but they they've clearly struck.

0:38:33.840 --> 0:38:36.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking forward to seeing, you know what happened, you

0:38:36.239 --> 0:38:39.040
<v Speaker 1>know what's happening with them as far as their defensive

0:38:39.080 --> 0:38:42.480
<v Speaker 1>front and all at Vic Beasley and and those guys

0:38:42.719 --> 0:38:44.200
<v Speaker 1>you Grady Jared. I mean, those are a couple of

0:38:44.200 --> 0:38:46.560
<v Speaker 1>pretty good players. I wonder if they really if their

0:38:46.760 --> 0:38:51.080
<v Speaker 1>play has fallen off that that much. So we'll see.

0:38:51.239 --> 0:38:54.399
<v Speaker 1>And well, as long as Adrian Clayborne's not there, he's

0:38:54.440 --> 0:38:57.439
<v Speaker 1>not there on the pats yep, New England Patriot. Now.

0:38:58.160 --> 0:39:00.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, um, when you look at to where the

0:39:00.480 --> 0:39:04.279
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys were last year going to Atlanta, and that was

0:39:04.400 --> 0:39:07.400
<v Speaker 1>part of the series of three straight games where the

0:39:07.440 --> 0:39:10.160
<v Speaker 1>season got away from the Cowboys. Last year, there was

0:39:10.200 --> 0:39:12.560
<v Speaker 1>a horrible stretch of three games. Of course, as he

0:39:12.960 --> 0:39:17.720
<v Speaker 1>just started his suspension, Cowboys were five and three going

0:39:17.760 --> 0:39:20.760
<v Speaker 1>into that heck of a game. They beat Kansas City

0:39:21.000 --> 0:39:23.560
<v Speaker 1>pretty exactly game going that way and had a couple

0:39:23.600 --> 0:39:26.399
<v Speaker 1>of you know, they had San Francisco and Washington prior

0:39:26.440 --> 0:39:30.719
<v Speaker 1>to the Kansas City, but Kansas City, which was big win. Yeah, yeah,

0:39:30.800 --> 0:39:35.200
<v Speaker 1>quality win, right, and then Zeke gets suspended and Tyran

0:39:35.320 --> 0:39:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Smith goes down ye, and Sean Lee goes down. So

0:39:38.480 --> 0:39:40.680
<v Speaker 1>now you're at a point that going in this year

0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:44.640
<v Speaker 1>to Atlanta virtually the same part of the season, you're

0:39:44.680 --> 0:39:47.759
<v Speaker 1>going in at four and five, and you have an

0:39:47.760 --> 0:39:51.319
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to do the opposite of what happened last year.

0:39:51.600 --> 0:39:54.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you're coming off a big win against Philadelphia,

0:39:55.120 --> 0:39:57.280
<v Speaker 1>just like you're coming off a big win against Kansas

0:39:57.280 --> 0:40:02.400
<v Speaker 1>City last year, and now let's see what they can do. Yeah. No,

0:40:02.600 --> 0:40:06.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm interested because you know, if if Cleveland was able

0:40:06.400 --> 0:40:09.239
<v Speaker 1>to run the ball as successfully as they were, I

0:40:09.239 --> 0:40:11.239
<v Speaker 1>think as a Cowboy fan and again I'm looking forward

0:40:11.239 --> 0:40:13.120
<v Speaker 1>to seeing that game. I think you have to be

0:40:13.200 --> 0:40:16.120
<v Speaker 1>excited about that. But if they're giving up stuff in

0:40:16.160 --> 0:40:18.719
<v Speaker 1>the past, and you know, and and and you know,

0:40:18.719 --> 0:40:22.759
<v Speaker 1>and market's Truefon and Robert Alfred Alfred and those guys

0:40:22.760 --> 0:40:27.600
<v Speaker 1>aren't covering very well, I'll take my chances with with

0:40:26.440 --> 0:40:29.960
<v Speaker 1>uh Maury Cooper and you know, those guys throwing the

0:40:29.960 --> 0:40:32.520
<v Speaker 1>ball and and and see and see how it plays out.

0:40:32.560 --> 0:40:34.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you could get some good balance. Evidently,

0:40:34.400 --> 0:40:36.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, Cleveland beat him with some pretty good balance,

0:40:37.120 --> 0:40:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I know offensively, you know, with that with the run

0:40:40.200 --> 0:40:42.920
<v Speaker 1>pass ratio and the stuff that they I mean, seventeen

0:40:42.960 --> 0:40:46.160
<v Speaker 1>of twenty, that's what she said. Baker Mayfield. Ye, for

0:40:46.239 --> 0:40:48.600
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and sixteen yards. It's ten yards in a

0:40:48.640 --> 0:40:51.759
<v Speaker 1>ten Yeah, nothing wrong with that. So we'll see and

0:40:51.840 --> 0:40:54.640
<v Speaker 1>they you know, Atlanta is uh, but they're a team

0:40:54.680 --> 0:40:56.719
<v Speaker 1>like you. They're very desperate. You know, they're four and

0:40:56.840 --> 0:40:58.600
<v Speaker 1>five two and they're trying to figure out you know,

0:40:58.800 --> 0:41:01.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean if they how what direction? I don't know

0:41:01.960 --> 0:41:03.480
<v Speaker 1>if there's I mean, I don't know if they can

0:41:03.560 --> 0:41:07.080
<v Speaker 1>catch Carolina, whether they two games behind them, two games

0:41:07.080 --> 0:41:10.200
<v Speaker 1>behind Carolina right now. So and I think they've played

0:41:10.200 --> 0:41:12.239
<v Speaker 1>them already one time. You might write about that. I

0:41:12.320 --> 0:41:15.200
<v Speaker 1>believe you're right. Yeah, so you know that that's uh,

0:41:15.600 --> 0:41:17.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, let's see if they can make that ground up.

0:41:17.680 --> 0:41:21.000
<v Speaker 1>But they're very similar the Cowboys as far as they've

0:41:21.000 --> 0:41:23.279
<v Speaker 1>had some struggles, that looks like their struggles appeared to

0:41:23.320 --> 0:41:25.319
<v Speaker 1>be more on defense than the Cowboys struggles have been

0:41:25.360 --> 0:41:28.719
<v Speaker 1>on offense. So we'll see. I'll be interesting to see

0:41:29.600 --> 0:41:35.960
<v Speaker 1>how they play the defense, because I think the Cowboys

0:41:36.120 --> 0:41:40.040
<v Speaker 1>were expecting Philadelphia and they did it I thought quite

0:41:40.040 --> 0:41:43.800
<v Speaker 1>a bit single safety high type stuff. And then towards

0:41:44.120 --> 0:41:47.000
<v Speaker 1>as it moved along, they started putting that other safety

0:41:47.040 --> 0:41:49.480
<v Speaker 1>back there. Well, they got banged up. They couldn't they

0:41:49.520 --> 0:41:51.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't have enough game because they had all their corners,

0:41:52.440 --> 0:41:54.879
<v Speaker 1>got conservative and say, okay, they had to play zone.

0:41:54.960 --> 0:41:56.759
<v Speaker 1>Guy's help. They had to play zone. But they were

0:41:56.840 --> 0:41:58.839
<v Speaker 1>playing a lot of single safety high and when you're

0:41:58.920 --> 0:42:00.920
<v Speaker 1>lining up and you know, you can see it faster

0:42:01.320 --> 0:42:04.960
<v Speaker 1>when you're there than on television. It's like old Cooper's

0:42:04.960 --> 0:42:07.960
<v Speaker 1>and single coverage. Here, let's go. You know, you can

0:42:08.000 --> 0:42:10.960
<v Speaker 1>almost call it. Yeah, I'll be interested to see what

0:42:11.000 --> 0:42:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta does. Ye what do you think do we take

0:42:14.640 --> 0:42:16.200
<v Speaker 1>a break or how we long are we going to

0:42:16.239 --> 0:42:18.320

<v Speaker 1>a real good shot being in that game. Who's Oklahoma got?

0:46:12.760 --> 0:46:16.320
<v Speaker 1>They got Kansas? And then what they play at West Virginia.

0:46:16.840 --> 0:46:19.320
<v Speaker 1>That is a likely loss for the Sooner. Okay, so

0:46:19.520 --> 0:46:22.759
<v Speaker 1>that means that Texas Texas wins out. The Texas would

0:46:22.800 --> 0:46:25.560
<v Speaker 1>be playing West Virginia in the championship game. They have

0:46:25.640 --> 0:46:31.120
<v Speaker 1>a buy going into that game. Who does Oklahoma? No,

0:46:31.280 --> 0:46:33.919
<v Speaker 1>they don't. They played West Virginia. They played West I said,

0:46:34.000 --> 0:46:37.440
<v Speaker 1>into the West Virginia game, I got since they play Kansas,

0:46:37.520 --> 0:46:41.400
<v Speaker 1>that's a that's bizoo talk there, y stay with me,

0:46:41.640 --> 0:46:47.319
<v Speaker 1>Come on, what the Texas has an issue. Texas has

0:46:47.360 --> 0:46:49.880
<v Speaker 1>an issue this week because I always State comes to Austin,

0:46:49.920 --> 0:46:52.080
<v Speaker 1>and I always State's got a good football team. They

0:46:52.160 --> 0:46:55.040
<v Speaker 1>can and getting better. Yes, they are as a seasons.

0:46:55.080 --> 0:46:56.960
<v Speaker 1>The college coach that might be a pro coach with

0:46:57.239 --> 0:46:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Matt Campbell and I Alwa State by the way, has

0:46:59.640 --> 0:47:02.320
<v Speaker 1>an upraortunity they could actually put some where. Did he

0:47:02.400 --> 0:47:07.040
<v Speaker 1>come from Toledo, Yeah, Bowlie Green, Toledo. Everywhere he's been,

0:47:07.120 --> 0:47:12.040
<v Speaker 1>he's won. He could pay his dues. I'll try all right.

0:47:12.960 --> 0:47:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys Falcons last year. I was just looking at the

0:47:17.080 --> 0:47:21.520
<v Speaker 1>stats from last year's game and basically who was playing

0:47:21.760 --> 0:47:24.279
<v Speaker 1>in the game for the Cowboys. Of course, Zeke was out,

0:47:24.400 --> 0:47:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Alfred Morris was your primary running running back. Darren McFadden

0:47:29.600 --> 0:47:31.680
<v Speaker 1>got to carry in the game, and Rod Smith got

0:47:31.760 --> 0:47:34.440
<v Speaker 1>three carries in the game. Morris was eleven for fifty

0:47:34.520 --> 0:47:38.680
<v Speaker 1>three yards. Your receivers, you had Witten seven for fifty nine,

0:47:39.400 --> 0:47:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Dez four for thirty nine, Rod Smith, colby's Ley, Bryce

0:47:45.200 --> 0:47:49.279
<v Speaker 1>Butler one for thirty and Terrence Williams one for nine,

0:47:49.400 --> 0:47:51.920
<v Speaker 1>so there were a lot of Keith Smith also had

0:47:51.920 --> 0:47:54.960
<v Speaker 1>a catch, so there were a lot of your weapons

0:47:55.239 --> 0:47:59.120
<v Speaker 1>that are no longer on the team or on injured

0:47:59.160 --> 0:48:03.360
<v Speaker 1>reserve right now. Catches by Noah Brown, nothing by Noah Brown.

0:48:03.440 --> 0:48:07.280
<v Speaker 1>No penalties for Noah Brown either, And um so anyway,

0:48:07.280 --> 0:48:09.520
<v Speaker 1>it's a different Cowboy team going in there this year

0:48:09.600 --> 0:48:11.759
<v Speaker 1>than what it was last year. Yeah, I think you

0:48:11.880 --> 0:48:13.719
<v Speaker 1>have to, you know, after what you guys said. And

0:48:13.840 --> 0:48:16.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking and looking forward to watching the Cleveland game.

0:48:17.080 --> 0:48:19.759
<v Speaker 1>The best way to help Dak Prescott is just to

0:48:19.880 --> 0:48:21.719
<v Speaker 1>run the football. If if they're if they're if they

0:48:21.760 --> 0:48:23.359
<v Speaker 1>have an inability, if all of a sudden you see

0:48:23.360 --> 0:48:25.319
<v Speaker 1>a trend to them not being able to stop the run.

0:48:26.160 --> 0:48:28.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, if Cleveland just loaded up and said you're

0:48:28.480 --> 0:48:30.320
<v Speaker 1>not good enough to stop us and other teams, I

0:48:30.400 --> 0:48:32.640
<v Speaker 1>need to go back and watch, like Pittsburgh. I think

0:48:32.640 --> 0:48:35.560
<v Speaker 1>they played Pittsburgh in the Carolina I said, you said they.

0:48:36.200 --> 0:48:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I guess when the break you were saying that the

0:48:38.040 --> 0:48:40.360
<v Speaker 1>only one of the first wins they had was Carolina.

0:48:40.840 --> 0:48:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Let me just see these teams that ran the ball

0:48:42.719 --> 0:48:44.680
<v Speaker 1>or can run the ball, and were they able to

0:48:44.760 --> 0:48:47.520
<v Speaker 1>run the ball, Because if that's the case, you know,

0:48:47.640 --> 0:48:50.680
<v Speaker 1>that's a huge huge advantage for the Cowboys right there. Now,

0:48:50.719 --> 0:48:54.879
<v Speaker 1>I know they fell behind going into the fourth quarter

0:48:55.080 --> 0:48:59.719
<v Speaker 1>last year, did they run the ball? Alfred Morris, I

0:49:00.040 --> 0:49:04.040
<v Speaker 1>have no idea, don't you have it? He ran? He ran? Yeah,

0:49:04.200 --> 0:49:06.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it started off. I think it started off

0:49:06.239 --> 0:49:07.800
<v Speaker 1>pretty well for him, and then all of a sudden

0:49:07.800 --> 0:49:11.040
<v Speaker 1>they had to start throwing the ball. I want to say, yeah,

0:49:11.120 --> 0:49:13.960
<v Speaker 1>I want to see that game was such a infamous game.

0:49:14.000 --> 0:49:15.320
<v Speaker 1>I want to say it was like ten seven and

0:49:15.320 --> 0:49:17.040
<v Speaker 1>a half time. It was. They were hanging in there

0:49:17.600 --> 0:49:20.760
<v Speaker 1>and defensively in that three game stretch that they lost

0:49:20.880 --> 0:49:24.200
<v Speaker 1>badly starting with that game. It was the second half

0:49:24.280 --> 0:49:27.160
<v Speaker 1>they just broke down and couldn't couldn't get off the field.

0:49:27.440 --> 0:49:29.360
<v Speaker 1>No Sean Lee, I think he went out in the

0:49:29.360 --> 0:49:32.440
<v Speaker 1>first quarter of the Atlanta game once again. Layton Vanderesh

0:49:32.600 --> 0:49:35.080
<v Speaker 1>and Jalen Smith's a different player than he was last

0:49:35.160 --> 0:49:39.799
<v Speaker 1>year by far, and Layton Vanderesh is a big time

0:49:40.000 --> 0:49:42.880
<v Speaker 1>young player on this team. He is, He's playing not

0:49:43.160 --> 0:49:46.400
<v Speaker 1>like a rookie. The way he played. It's not not perfect,

0:49:46.640 --> 0:49:49.799
<v Speaker 1>but they don't miss Sewan as much as they did

0:49:50.560 --> 0:49:53.080
<v Speaker 1>last season. So I think going into this matchup, because

0:49:53.120 --> 0:49:56.040
<v Speaker 1>this is they're gonna be challenging the secondary. This is

0:49:56.080 --> 0:49:59.440
<v Speaker 1>a really good core, not just Julio Jones, but I

0:49:59.520 --> 0:50:01.719
<v Speaker 1>think they definitely feel better about their linebacking corps now

0:50:01.760 --> 0:50:03.400
<v Speaker 1>than they did this time. If you if, if you

0:50:04.560 --> 0:50:07.520
<v Speaker 1>would you they won't do it, But would you, guys

0:50:07.640 --> 0:50:10.960
<v Speaker 1>travel Byron Jones with Julio Jones in this game? Now

0:50:11.040 --> 0:50:13.520
<v Speaker 1>we've seen the last I mean, I mean, Hulio Jones

0:50:13.600 --> 0:50:15.960
<v Speaker 1>had a really had a great game here at at

0:50:16.080 --> 0:50:18.279
<v Speaker 1>and T one time where I mean he just and

0:50:18.600 --> 0:50:21.040
<v Speaker 1>but that was Brandon Weeden playing quarterback. Dallas got a

0:50:21.160 --> 0:50:23.600
<v Speaker 1>big lead and then kind of evaporated. What they do

0:50:23.719 --> 0:50:26.239
<v Speaker 1>last year with Julio I can't remember. I don't think

0:50:26.280 --> 0:50:28.759
<v Speaker 1>they traveled with him. They don't really do that. They

0:50:28.800 --> 0:50:31.200
<v Speaker 1>don't travel. But I mean, this might be one of

0:50:31.239 --> 0:50:34.160
<v Speaker 1>those games where you say, okay, you know what, I'm

0:50:34.200 --> 0:50:35.759
<v Speaker 1>just gonna try and take him out of the game.

0:50:35.800 --> 0:50:37.640
<v Speaker 1>If I can with Byron Jones, that would be your

0:50:37.640 --> 0:50:40.279
<v Speaker 1>best option, wouldn't it? But you know who really heard

0:50:40.360 --> 0:50:43.160
<v Speaker 1>him last year was that Hooper guy end We had

0:50:43.239 --> 0:50:45.319
<v Speaker 1>never heard of Hooper and all of a sudden he's

0:50:45.520 --> 0:50:47.560
<v Speaker 1>and they have to and Steve Sarkissian has to be

0:50:47.640 --> 0:50:52.359
<v Speaker 1>excited after seeing zach Ertz get fourteen catches. The other

0:50:52.520 --> 0:50:55.400
<v Speaker 1>day Huli had six for fifty seven. Yeah, so I

0:50:55.480 --> 0:50:57.279
<v Speaker 1>was trying to see they only had one sack of

0:50:57.440 --> 0:51:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Ryan and he threw the ball thirty times times, although

0:51:01.960 --> 0:51:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to see what his deal was, and

0:51:04.080 --> 0:51:08.799
<v Speaker 1>they got him miss printing here they got Rothlessburger. Yeah. Yeah,

0:51:10.520 --> 0:51:16.399
<v Speaker 1>by the way, kind of trails off. I wasn't trying

0:51:16.400 --> 0:51:19.839
<v Speaker 1>to throw anybody under the bus and talking to Nick

0:51:19.960 --> 0:51:22.319
<v Speaker 1>Chubb had the big game last week, but the week

0:51:22.400 --> 0:51:25.520
<v Speaker 1>before Adrian Peterson only had seventeen yards on nine carries

0:51:25.560 --> 0:51:31.160
<v Speaker 1>against them. See, so yeah, there you go the game.

0:51:31.840 --> 0:51:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's what I'm saying. I'm looking forward to

0:51:33.520 --> 0:51:36.320
<v Speaker 1>seeing if did they just overpowerment and it might be

0:51:36.400 --> 0:51:38.160
<v Speaker 1>to the point of what you guys were talking about

0:51:38.480 --> 0:51:41.560
<v Speaker 1>that Washington's offensive line is not clearly running game. Moses

0:51:41.640 --> 0:51:46.040
<v Speaker 1>is not getting done anymore, you know, so we'll see. Yeah.

0:51:46.760 --> 0:51:49.480
<v Speaker 1>I just I think that I think your plan. I

0:51:49.560 --> 0:51:52.440
<v Speaker 1>think that you know, you find find the trend here

0:51:53.000 --> 0:51:56.920
<v Speaker 1>is are they having certain problems, you know, with certain fronts.

0:51:57.160 --> 0:51:59.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean they haven't with certain schemes. I mean, is

0:51:59.320 --> 0:52:03.160
<v Speaker 1>it rush inside, rush people trapping them, people toss sweeping them.

0:52:03.160 --> 0:52:05.279
<v Speaker 1>What are you doing to these guys? So I think

0:52:05.320 --> 0:52:07.440
<v Speaker 1>that's where you got to kind of find. Yeah, give

0:52:07.480 --> 0:52:09.520
<v Speaker 1>me those two three four players that you can run,

0:52:09.880 --> 0:52:11.520
<v Speaker 1>that are running places that you can kind of hang

0:52:11.600 --> 0:52:15.120
<v Speaker 1>your hat on. What you know was you know Cleveland,

0:52:15.520 --> 0:52:17.800
<v Speaker 1>what was their plan of attack? I'm interested to see that,

0:52:18.000 --> 0:52:20.359
<v Speaker 1>I really really am. Now. The other thing, you look

0:52:20.400 --> 0:52:22.759
<v Speaker 1>at Atlanta and it's like this where virtually every team

0:52:22.800 --> 0:52:26.279
<v Speaker 1>in the league, you've got several close losses. They lost

0:52:26.360 --> 0:52:29.120
<v Speaker 1>in overtime to the Saints forty three thirty seven, and

0:52:29.320 --> 0:52:31.200
<v Speaker 1>she ever got the ball back in that one. They

0:52:31.280 --> 0:52:34.759
<v Speaker 1>lost to Cincinnati thirty seven thirty six. Joe Mixon, by

0:52:34.760 --> 0:52:36.959
<v Speaker 1>the way, did not play for Cincinnati in that game.

0:52:37.160 --> 0:52:40.000
<v Speaker 1>And so you change those two games and they're looking

0:52:40.040 --> 0:52:41.759
<v Speaker 1>at a six and three team instead of a four

0:52:41.800 --> 0:52:44.239
<v Speaker 1>and five. Yeah, I don't lose to Houston Washington. You're

0:52:44.280 --> 0:52:46.719
<v Speaker 1>looking at exactly here, exactly. I mean, you can do

0:52:46.800 --> 0:52:48.800
<v Speaker 1>that with about every team. Yeah, in the league. You

0:52:48.840 --> 0:52:50.959
<v Speaker 1>know one thing we haven't had an opportunity to talk about.

0:52:51.000 --> 0:52:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking Cowboys. That happened after our show on Friday.

0:52:55.120 --> 0:52:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Devi's Bryant goes down for the season, lost for the

0:52:58.280 --> 0:53:01.320
<v Speaker 1>season with the torn achilles. You hate to see that

0:53:01.480 --> 0:53:04.560
<v Speaker 1>for Dez, yeah, you know, And and we were we

0:53:04.760 --> 0:53:07.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of talked about that it would be a great

0:53:07.480 --> 0:53:10.040
<v Speaker 1>fit for him to go to New Orleans, that they

0:53:10.120 --> 0:53:13.239
<v Speaker 1>could use him like they did Marcus Colston. And I

0:53:13.320 --> 0:53:15.080
<v Speaker 1>think clearly that was going to be the plan. They

0:53:15.120 --> 0:53:16.719
<v Speaker 1>were gonna, you know, have a few things for him

0:53:16.760 --> 0:53:19.799
<v Speaker 1>to do. Work the middle of the field, big body guy,

0:53:20.200 --> 0:53:22.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, makes some good plays and then in the

0:53:22.920 --> 0:53:25.640
<v Speaker 1>middle of the field, that's what he's very comfortable doing.

0:53:25.719 --> 0:53:28.560
<v Speaker 1>But uh, you know, these these injuries and stuff. I mean,

0:53:28.640 --> 0:53:31.560
<v Speaker 1>it's you know that that type of injury. I was

0:53:31.680 --> 0:53:34.399
<v Speaker 1>worried about him in the hamstring because that had got

0:53:34.520 --> 0:53:36.960
<v Speaker 1>him before, you know, I was worried. And then Nelson,

0:53:37.040 --> 0:53:39.799
<v Speaker 1>you get the news of achilles, You're going, okay, well

0:53:39.840 --> 0:53:43.120
<v Speaker 1>that's that's pretty much, you know, get over right there.

0:53:43.400 --> 0:53:47.560
<v Speaker 1>That is a great example of why you have training

0:53:47.640 --> 0:53:51.440
<v Speaker 1>camp and why you have when when a guy comes

0:53:52.200 --> 0:53:55.400
<v Speaker 1>we don't know and Saints didn't know how much work

0:53:55.920 --> 0:53:59.160
<v Speaker 1>DEAs had actually done. Okay, des may think he's done

0:53:59.239 --> 0:54:01.840
<v Speaker 1>enough work to be ready to go right into a practice,

0:54:02.200 --> 0:54:04.840
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know exactly how it happened in practice,

0:54:04.880 --> 0:54:07.760
<v Speaker 1>but I assume they put him right into full speed

0:54:07.880 --> 0:54:11.560
<v Speaker 1>drills and I suppose the last play of practice practice.

0:54:11.560 --> 0:54:14.279
<v Speaker 1>But regardless, that is what you know. The Cowboys get

0:54:14.360 --> 0:54:17.440
<v Speaker 1>a new player and they will and other teams will

0:54:17.440 --> 0:54:20.120
<v Speaker 1>do the same thing. You don't throw him right in

0:54:20.600 --> 0:54:25.680
<v Speaker 1>and you have to there's value Eachmari Cooper. Yeah, but

0:54:28.000 --> 0:54:31.440
<v Speaker 1>with a team. I'm talking about when when a player

0:54:31.520 --> 0:54:33.719
<v Speaker 1>has not been in training camp, has not been in

0:54:33.800 --> 0:54:36.520
<v Speaker 1>the offseason program, has not been with a team throughout

0:54:36.600 --> 0:54:40.279
<v Speaker 1>the season, he's starting over. And basically the Saints needed

0:54:40.320 --> 0:54:42.399
<v Speaker 1>to go into that with the idea that he needs

0:54:42.680 --> 0:54:45.279
<v Speaker 1>three weeks of training camp before he can play in

0:54:45.360 --> 0:54:48.320
<v Speaker 1>a game. You know, well he was he was probably

0:54:48.360 --> 0:54:51.680
<v Speaker 1>not going to play since Cincinnati, but then you got

0:54:51.719 --> 0:54:53.600
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles coming up, you know, the next week. The

0:54:53.800 --> 0:54:56.040
<v Speaker 1>other thing is is not has not been known and

0:54:56.200 --> 0:54:58.520
<v Speaker 1>my people tell me that he's not been known as

0:54:58.520 --> 0:55:03.680
<v Speaker 1>a weight room guy. Sure, and um yeah, that's the

0:55:03.760 --> 0:55:06.239
<v Speaker 1>first thing I thought of, was the time he'd missed.

0:55:06.280 --> 0:55:08.359
<v Speaker 1>And then you have that kind of injury. It can

0:55:08.440 --> 0:55:10.919
<v Speaker 1>happen to anybody. I mean, it's um, it can happen

0:55:10.960 --> 0:55:13.120
<v Speaker 1>at any time, especially if as you get older. I

0:55:13.400 --> 0:55:16.120
<v Speaker 1>just hope he's able to resume his career somewhere. Um,

0:55:16.920 --> 0:55:19.640
<v Speaker 1>he's he'll be thirty one next year, I think. And

0:55:19.760 --> 0:55:21.520
<v Speaker 1>that's a tough injury. I mean, that's probably a year

0:55:21.600 --> 0:55:24.000
<v Speaker 1>long recovery process and then you're you're kind of starting

0:55:24.040 --> 0:55:26.560
<v Speaker 1>from scratch again. So I hope, I hope he doesn't

0:55:27.440 --> 0:55:28.960
<v Speaker 1>go out like this and he's able to make a

0:55:29.000 --> 0:55:33.120
<v Speaker 1>full recovery and resume his career. Injury on Friday or Thursday.

0:55:33.280 --> 0:55:37.440
<v Speaker 1>It was Friday, Friday, so that's not even a hard practice. Well,

0:55:37.480 --> 0:55:41.319
<v Speaker 1>we don't know how. I'm sure he's not wearing him

0:55:41.320 --> 0:55:44.720
<v Speaker 1>out on Friday. Well, and he may have been doing stuff.

0:55:45.440 --> 0:55:48.800
<v Speaker 1>It might have just been an actigue like legs get fatigued,

0:55:48.840 --> 0:55:51.960
<v Speaker 1>your foot gets fatigued, and right, yeah, that's a tough

0:55:52.040 --> 0:55:57.160
<v Speaker 1>one to come back at that age. Yea. Um So anyway,

0:55:57.160 --> 0:55:59.600
<v Speaker 1>and by the way, and Sean Payton says he's he

0:56:00.000 --> 0:56:02.680
<v Speaker 1>wants to give him an opportunity with the Saints next year.

0:56:02.800 --> 0:56:06.960
<v Speaker 1>He said that, yeah, yeah, yeah, so but you hate

0:56:06.960 --> 0:56:10.600
<v Speaker 1>to see that for Dez. Now, I guess one good

0:56:10.640 --> 0:56:12.719
<v Speaker 1>thing is he does he does It was a not

0:56:12.880 --> 0:56:15.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of money his base with six hundred thousand.

0:56:15.440 --> 0:56:18.080
<v Speaker 1>But if he does have that coming, it looked like

0:56:18.160 --> 0:56:20.320
<v Speaker 1>it was worked out perfect for him, you know, and

0:56:20.440 --> 0:56:22.000
<v Speaker 1>he was going to be back on the market in

0:56:22.280 --> 0:56:26.520
<v Speaker 1>March and be able to get big money. And now

0:56:26.600 --> 0:56:28.520
<v Speaker 1>he's not gonna be able to get that. Stuff going

0:56:28.600 --> 0:56:30.719
<v Speaker 1>to be an incentive latent deal if he if he

0:56:31.040 --> 0:56:33.600
<v Speaker 1>decides to even continue playing, we don't know where. Yeah,

0:56:33.680 --> 0:56:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I this this is just gonna be my gut right now,

0:56:37.640 --> 0:56:39.920
<v Speaker 1>since we get paid to do this. I think that

0:56:40.080 --> 0:56:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Dez Bryant is done. I think he's done. I think

0:56:43.040 --> 0:56:46.320
<v Speaker 1>that Dez Bryant just you you know you it's a

0:56:46.400 --> 0:56:48.759
<v Speaker 1>very difficult injury. Like you guys were talking about. He's

0:56:48.800 --> 0:56:51.520
<v Speaker 1>an older guy. He makes a living with his feet,

0:56:51.640 --> 0:56:54.960
<v Speaker 1>his legs and stuff like that. I mean a younger guy. Yeah,

0:56:55.080 --> 0:56:56.960
<v Speaker 1>you rehab, you try and get back you want. But

0:56:57.120 --> 0:57:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Dez Bryant's had a remarkable career and and he's also got,

0:57:01.640 --> 0:57:03.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, from hearing from people, he's got other interests

0:57:03.840 --> 0:57:06.680
<v Speaker 1>outside of football. Now, you know, he's seeing things, some

0:57:06.800 --> 0:57:09.279
<v Speaker 1>business opportunities. I'm not just talking about opening a bar

0:57:10.120 --> 0:57:12.440
<v Speaker 1>getting taken all your money getting taken in a restaurant

0:57:12.480 --> 0:57:16.000
<v Speaker 1>business or some garbage like that. I'm talking about real

0:57:16.120 --> 0:57:19.120
<v Speaker 1>legitimate businesses and stuff like that that he's got ideas for.

0:57:19.360 --> 0:57:22.240
<v Speaker 1>So I think that we've seen the last of Dez Bryant.

0:57:22.440 --> 0:57:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I really really do. I just think it's going to

0:57:24.000 --> 0:57:27.560
<v Speaker 1>be very difficult for him to come back to fully

0:57:28.480 --> 0:57:34.480
<v Speaker 1>commit himself to a rehabbing. Think about think about the

0:57:34.560 --> 0:57:37.560
<v Speaker 1>rehabbing he had to do here. You know. I always

0:57:37.600 --> 0:57:39.800
<v Speaker 1>heard whispers about Dez as well, if he would just

0:57:39.920 --> 0:57:41.520
<v Speaker 1>do this, if he would just do this, if he

0:57:41.640 --> 0:57:43.240
<v Speaker 1>just you know, Dez is one of those guys just

0:57:43.320 --> 0:57:45.680
<v Speaker 1>let me go play, let me just show up and play,

0:57:46.280 --> 0:57:48.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, And so this is one of it be

0:57:48.720 --> 0:57:51.400
<v Speaker 1>one of those things where once it's repaired and all that,

0:57:51.600 --> 0:57:54.400
<v Speaker 1>and he him having a I just don't just don't

0:57:54.600 --> 0:57:57.320
<v Speaker 1>see him being as diligent doing what he needs to

0:57:57.440 --> 0:58:00.280
<v Speaker 1>do to come back. It just comes down I hope

0:58:00.320 --> 0:58:01.880
<v Speaker 1>he proves me wrong, but that's just me me too.

0:58:01.960 --> 0:58:04.520
<v Speaker 1>It just comes down to his own motivation. Does he

0:58:04.640 --> 0:58:06.400
<v Speaker 1>really want to go out like this, you know, and

0:58:06.480 --> 0:58:09.720
<v Speaker 1>maybe that spurs him on to make a comeback. The

0:58:09.840 --> 0:58:12.560
<v Speaker 1>thing that he could take away from this is, in

0:58:12.680 --> 0:58:15.120
<v Speaker 1>my opinion, the best team in the league gave him

0:58:15.160 --> 0:58:18.000
<v Speaker 1>a job. That's where he can he It's not like

0:58:18.480 --> 0:58:21.360
<v Speaker 1>it's not like the Raiders offered him a job. You know,

0:58:21.800 --> 0:58:23.520
<v Speaker 1>he got a job. I mean, the best team in

0:58:23.560 --> 0:58:27.320
<v Speaker 1>the National Football League, in my opinion, gave him an

0:58:27.360 --> 0:58:29.760
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to come to work, and he could take that

0:58:29.880 --> 0:58:32.520
<v Speaker 1>and say, you know what, that's good in my mind,

0:58:32.640 --> 0:58:35.880
<v Speaker 1>you know what, somebody wanted me. But also there's a

0:58:35.960 --> 0:58:38.920
<v Speaker 1>side of him that I believe that he loves his

0:58:39.160 --> 0:58:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Dallas cowboy team so much that the fact that he,

0:58:44.120 --> 0:58:46.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, he didn't really get a shot with the Saints,

0:58:47.280 --> 0:58:49.120
<v Speaker 1>probably he's in his heart's probably saying, you know what,

0:58:49.240 --> 0:58:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm still I'll always be a cowboy. I didn't have

0:58:52.200 --> 0:58:54.680
<v Speaker 1>to put on a Saint. You know, it sounds crazy,

0:58:54.800 --> 0:58:56.400
<v Speaker 1>but it's it would have been weird to see him

0:58:56.400 --> 0:58:58.480
<v Speaker 1>in Yeah, it's what I'm saying. I mean, he's got

0:58:58.520 --> 0:59:01.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of things that you know, he waited. The

0:59:01.520 --> 0:59:04.320
<v Speaker 1>right opportunity came, and you know, maybe this is the

0:59:04.400 --> 0:59:06.120
<v Speaker 1>way of saying, you know what, maybe I need to

0:59:06.200 --> 0:59:09.920
<v Speaker 1>move on and do something else. I wonder if you're him,

0:59:10.240 --> 0:59:12.440
<v Speaker 1>would you do the surgery there or would you come

0:59:12.480 --> 0:59:15.120
<v Speaker 1>back and have a doctor that you were familiar with

0:59:15.440 --> 0:59:19.240
<v Speaker 1>do the surgery. Oh, because you don't have to have

0:59:19.480 --> 0:59:21.760
<v Speaker 1>their guy do it right now, I could come back

0:59:21.800 --> 0:59:24.800
<v Speaker 1>and have doctor Cooper do it. Actually, and he knows Cooper,

0:59:24.960 --> 0:59:29.080
<v Speaker 1>and he knows that he's had successful Achilles repairs. Go

0:59:29.240 --> 0:59:33.120
<v Speaker 1>ask Greg Greg Allis, Go ask Tyrone Crawford, Go ask

0:59:33.440 --> 0:59:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Very Church. Yeah, so I wonder what, I wonder what

0:59:36.440 --> 0:59:38.880
<v Speaker 1>he does. I just I just this the sign of

0:59:38.920 --> 0:59:42.840
<v Speaker 1>me that believes that that he's at peace with himself. Now. Well,

0:59:42.880 --> 0:59:45.720
<v Speaker 1>and you brought up to I mean Greg was thirty

0:59:45.800 --> 0:59:47.720
<v Speaker 1>ish when he had that, and he made it. He

0:59:47.880 --> 0:59:50.760
<v Speaker 1>came back, I think made a Pro Bowl. But wide

0:59:50.800 --> 0:59:54.240
<v Speaker 1>receiver different, it's a different position. Stuff. It's gonna be tough. Yeah,

0:59:54.240 --> 0:59:56.280
<v Speaker 1>and you know pass rusher has to push off and

0:59:56.520 --> 0:59:58.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, and you know, what's what's that happens to you?

0:59:59.080 --> 1:00:01.560
<v Speaker 1>One time? You know you have and you in your

1:00:01.600 --> 1:00:04.000
<v Speaker 1>mind you're always going to have that. Well, has Tyrone

1:00:04.040 --> 1:00:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Crawford remember when he went down in training Campbell tore

1:00:07.040 --> 1:00:10.160
<v Speaker 1>it again? Yeah, that's not good and it wasn't yeah,

1:00:10.640 --> 1:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, and Kevin Smith when he tore his he

1:00:12.800 --> 1:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>was not the same. The cerback and Achilles and back

1:00:17.040 --> 1:00:20.760
<v Speaker 1>pedaling is pretty important. Yeah, yeah, I think that running

1:00:20.760 --> 1:00:24.560
<v Speaker 1>back's gonna show up in Pittsburgh. No, I don't sound

1:00:24.640 --> 1:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>like it, and you know, and everybody could say, did

1:00:27.840 --> 1:00:29.720
<v Speaker 1>you have a good day? And I don't know if

1:00:29.760 --> 1:00:32.080
<v Speaker 1>he necessarily has a good day. I don't know if

1:00:32.200 --> 1:00:34.840
<v Speaker 1>leaving fourteen million dollars on the table, I think is

1:00:35.160 --> 1:00:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I understand principal and fighting for your beliefs and all that,

1:00:38.160 --> 1:00:40.920
<v Speaker 1>but he's gonna have to make forty two million dollars

1:00:41.000 --> 1:00:43.240
<v Speaker 1>basically next year to make up for the money he

1:00:43.360 --> 1:00:46.840
<v Speaker 1>lost this year. And that's and that's and that's tough. Hey,

1:00:46.960 --> 1:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>even even a guy out in the Great Pacific Northwest

1:00:51.480 --> 1:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>came back, you know, he said, okay, you guys are

1:00:55.440 --> 1:00:57.800
<v Speaker 1>you guys are making me mad here? But what did

1:00:57.840 --> 1:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>he do? He showed up and put my accountants more

1:01:00.160 --> 1:01:02.320
<v Speaker 1>yes at me. Yeah. But the older you get, and

1:01:02.480 --> 1:01:05.480
<v Speaker 1>especially a position he plays where everyone'll say, well he's

1:01:05.520 --> 1:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>a year fresher, he's gonna be but yeah, he's also

1:01:07.880 --> 1:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>a year or older and they can they can keep

1:01:11.240 --> 1:01:14.320
<v Speaker 1>his rights next year twenty five million dollars. So he's

1:01:14.320 --> 1:01:16.960
<v Speaker 1>going to get the quarterback tag if that's And I

1:01:17.040 --> 1:01:19.880
<v Speaker 1>think that's right. I think that's automatically the tag that

1:01:20.040 --> 1:01:22.040
<v Speaker 1>he gets if they do it three times in a row.

1:01:22.200 --> 1:01:26.200
<v Speaker 1>If I'm not transition tag, what can what happens there

1:01:26.240 --> 1:01:28.720
<v Speaker 1>with the transition If they'd use the transition tag, then

1:01:28.760 --> 1:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>he can go out to another team offer. And I

1:01:31.680 --> 1:01:34.120
<v Speaker 1>think I'm right about that, because there was there was

1:01:34.200 --> 1:01:36.400
<v Speaker 1>some talk that they were thinking that it was just

1:01:36.480 --> 1:01:39.960
<v Speaker 1>going to be the trans transition tag. But I think

1:01:39.960 --> 1:01:42.280
<v Speaker 1>if they tran if they franchise him a third time,

1:01:42.400 --> 1:01:46.320
<v Speaker 1>that it's automatically. But does the second franchise count since

1:01:46.400 --> 1:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>he didn't sign it? Oh? No, it it does? It does?

1:01:50.480 --> 1:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>It does? It doesn't count as a crude he doesn't

1:01:52.840 --> 1:01:56.360
<v Speaker 1>count as in a crude season. I'm I'm almost positive

1:01:56.400 --> 1:01:58.960
<v Speaker 1>about that, all right, I'm almost positive. I should I

1:01:59.400 --> 1:02:01.520
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't be talking. I mean, that's why I asked, because

1:02:01.520 --> 1:02:03.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Yeah, I might be wrong about that.

1:02:03.280 --> 1:02:05.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure that somebody's listening to our great program and

1:02:05.600 --> 1:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>if saying right now on Twitter that broad a shirt idiot,

1:02:08.440 --> 1:02:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Noah doesn't count and all that, but I thought that

1:02:12.680 --> 1:02:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought that that they were they were thinking that

1:02:14.760 --> 1:02:17.200
<v Speaker 1>it was going to be a twenty five million dollar tag.

1:02:17.640 --> 1:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>It's what they were going to do. Well. They found

1:02:21.280 --> 1:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>a guy that runs it pretty well up there too

1:02:22.920 --> 1:02:25.560
<v Speaker 1>to replace him. James Conner doing a good job. He's

1:02:25.560 --> 1:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>in concussion protocol right now. Uh. The other little item

1:02:30.440 --> 1:02:33.400
<v Speaker 1>a couple the Eagles Ronald Darby is done for the

1:02:33.480 --> 1:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>year a cl and the Rams lose wide receiver Cooper

1:02:37.560 --> 1:02:40.000
<v Speaker 1>cup Cup to a torn a c that's big for

1:02:40.280 --> 1:02:43.160
<v Speaker 1>that's big for the Rams. That that kid right there

1:02:43.320 --> 1:02:45.080
<v Speaker 1>is a hell of a football player for you listen

1:02:45.120 --> 1:02:47.480
<v Speaker 1>to the Draft show. You knew a little bit about

1:02:47.520 --> 1:02:49.600
<v Speaker 1>that guy that played on that red turf. You know,

1:02:49.680 --> 1:02:51.840
<v Speaker 1>favorite of the Draft show? He was, he was a

1:02:51.920 --> 1:02:54.000
<v Speaker 1>favorite of the Draft show. And you know that. So

1:02:54.120 --> 1:02:56.360

<v Speaker 1>I believe und fourth Yeah, I believe so yeah. So yeah,

1:03:03.920 --> 1:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>the Cooper Cup is a tremendous player. What does that

1:03:06.200 --> 1:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>do the Rams? Boy? I tell you what though, that's

1:03:09.040 --> 1:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>trying to think of who all they've got was at

1:03:11.080 --> 1:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>the Sammy Watkins kind of a no, no, it's a

1:03:14.760 --> 1:03:17.200

<v Speaker 1>like third, fourth, third or fourth round something like that.

1:03:34.560 --> 1:03:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Rams didn't have a lot of picks. I didn't understand

1:03:36.960 --> 1:03:39.920
<v Speaker 1>why he lasted so long. Yeah. He was awfully good,

1:03:40.080 --> 1:03:44.800

1:03:44.800 --> 1:03:47.200
<v Speaker 1>to well, people talked about Christian Kirk there a bunch

1:03:47.360 --> 1:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>that was kind of he was fourth round. Josh Reynolds was, Yeah,

1:03:50.040 --> 1:03:51.800
