16
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: get to it today. We thought we'd get it to

17
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: it yesterday, but these guys talk too much, so we'd

18
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: wanted to argue, so we didn't get to it. But uh,

19
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: but let's start first. Let's get some catchups on on

20
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: some injuries and some stuff that Mike McCarthy had to

21
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: talk about let's let's start with Dak Prescott. What's he

22
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: going to be doing this week? What's wrong? Nothing? I

23
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: was gonna start with the moan Clark, but go you

24
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: know what, I guess you should start with the quarterback.

25
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: I probably need to, but I will say this, of

26
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: all the names I got on this list, that's the

27
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: one that has a star by it. Because the Moan Clark,

28
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: I think we all have been waiting to see him

29
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: get out there. So, but let's start with Dak. Give

30
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: me an update on dec. What are we? What are

31
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: we looking at there? All right, Adam, there's just some

32
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: something flying around trying to kill it. I don't like

33
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: things flying around me, smashing guys. Okay, silence, all right,

34
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: give me an update on dec. Where are we? Yeah?

35
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't I don't really know. I'll be honest with them.

36
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: Why don't you tell us? Don't know what the coach said? Yeah,

37
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: y'all get in to see now. Now he's a boss,

38
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: so he actually has to go to meetings. Now. You

39
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: can't always just go to press conference with Dak. Again,

40
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: it was always going to be that thing's not gonna

41
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: get near me now it's dead. I think Ambar like

42
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 1: wounded it to its flying in circles up. The thing

43
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: with Dak was always going to be about the healing

44
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: of the wound, the rotation in the joint or the thumb,

45
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: and then the grip strength. And from what I've heard,

46
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: they've had a little bit of swelling. Dak is always

47
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: going to work hard at this. Britt Brown's gonna work

48
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: hard at These guys are going to try and push

49
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: and push and push. And I'm not saying it, you know,

50
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: it's it's the it's that's the reason. It's like they

51
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: push so hard and then all of a sudden some

52
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: swelling reappears and things like that, and then it turns

53
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: into you can't grip the ball correctly. And that's where

54
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: this thing's at right now. If they can get the

55
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: grip strength to be where it needs to be for

56
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: him to hold the ball and be able to throw it,

57
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: then he'll be out there practicing. And but you know,

58
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: the more that you watched last week, they were talking about, well,

59
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna shoot for the RAMS game, shoot for the

60
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: Rams game, and I just was like watching him, you know,

61
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: you never heard about him in practice. Today he threw this,

62
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: and or he did this, or he did that. You

63
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: never heard that. It was. It was just him kind

64
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: of watching things, you know, helping, being in support, and

65
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: so you're like thinking, well, and I asked after the

66
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: game on Sunday, I said, where are we out with

67
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback? And I got the definite, Hey, we're gonna

68
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: try and shoot this thing for Philadelphia. We're gonna try.

69
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna try and see if it works. So I know,

70
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: on my station on one oh five three, the fan,

71
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: I you know, I was like adamant about that. I

72
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: was adamant about it on the postgame show. That didn't

73
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: think he was gonna play. And so until he gets

74
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: that grip strength, then once that happens, then we can

75
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: start the clock on what game he could be back for.

76
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: All right, he seemed to McCarthy seemed to be getting

77
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: a little annoyed with all the questions being asked to

78
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: him about like the specifics of what are the things

79
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: specifically that Doc is doing as far as his rehab,

80
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: and he just it was pretty funny, but anyways, he

81
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: doesn't know all the details, doesn't want to get into it.

82
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: He's basically at a good spot the doctor visit went well,

83
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: the stitching and everything. The healing has been looking very good.

84
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: Obviously stitch stitches are out already, but he just very clear.

85
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: He's just he's good on his rehab and what he

86
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: needs to be. Yeah, and I don't you know, he

87
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: says he doesn't know all the details or whatever, like

88
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: there's no way that's right there, Like there's no way

89
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: as a head coach that. I mean, it's okay not

90
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: to say the details to the media because he's very

91
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: annoyed by you can tell every week he's like he's

92
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: always throwing shots how every everybody's reporting different plays and stuff.

93
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: He hates how it's covered. You know, he hates every

94
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning on the fan when Jerry gets there, doctor

95
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: Jerry goes and says that kind of stuff. He's not

96
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: used to that. But you're not a coordinator, you're a

97
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: walk around coach. You know the details of your quarterbacks

98
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: if you don't. Yeah, But I think I think the

99
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: difference is And this is where the Todd was the

100
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: one that asked the question. Todd Archer friend of the show,

101
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: he was, he was actually the question he asked. And

102
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if McCarthy didn't take it right or

103
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: if Todd was actually asking this, but the way it

104
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,119
Speaker 1: kind of came off was literally, what are the exercises

105
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: and rehab regimen that he's doing to repair it? And

106
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: McCarthy's kind of like, I don't really know all the

107
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: different exercise Well, you know, that's what he was more

108
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: getting to, I think, And that's what I think he

109
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: was a little bit annoyed by. Was like, do you

110
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: guys want me to tell you he's doing, you know,

111
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: thumb wrestling and I don't know what you know? So

112
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: I think that was more of what it was, and

113
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was what Todd was asking.

114
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: I think that's the way he took it in my

115
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: and he's not the only one. Belichick the other day

116
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: did that thing with mac Jones and he said, like

117
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: he said day to day like twelve times and said,

118
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: what am I a doctor? I'm like, yeah, you probably

119
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: well in this role as a professional NFL coach, yeah,

120
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: you kind of have to be well. And then the

121
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: question was asking to follow up though, well, okay, the

122
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: people that are doctors, what are they telling you right?

123
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: You know, and he's like, you know, it's stated, we'll

124
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: see That's the thing about it too, is I think,

125
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you both have shed light on

126
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: it the right way and and I to me, it's

127
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: I think Mike really has He's never had to do this,

128
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: He's never had to deal and he's what you know,

129
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: the season now, the fourth season here with the team,

130
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: third third season with the team, trying to think now

131
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: where we're yeah, you're three, okay, so you're three Okay.

132
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: He's never in Green Bay. Trust me, I spent five

133
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: years of my life up there. They don't have an owner,

134
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: you know, they don't have somebody, they don't have a

135
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: general manager. Ted Thompson was not coming out and Teddy

136
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: would tell you far less than what Mike McCarthy would

137
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: even tell the Green Bay media. So Mike is I

138
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: think there's a level of frustration where Mike is like,

139
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: I have to stand up here and answer these questions

140
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: because what's happened, is it? You look at the timeline

141
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: for DAK returning, it's kind of like the stock market.

142
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: It's way up, it's way down, it's way up, it's

143
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: way down, it's way up. No, it's flat now and

144
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: now it's up again. Now it's I mean he's having

145
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: that message. He's having to deal with the expectations of

146
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: the general manager, you know, and what the general manager

147
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: is selling the the hey, he's gonna be back. He's

148
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: gonna be back, and Mike's never had to deal with that,

149
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: you know. And that's when you work for the Dallas Cowboys.

150
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: That's the voice you have to as a coach. You

151
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: have to know that you're going to get questions because

152
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: the general manager talks twice on our station and we

153
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: we're glad to have him. And he talks immediately after

154
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: a game, so you have three opportunities in a week

155
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: to try and pin Jerry on what's going to happen here.

156
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: And you know, so I think that's the thing that

157
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: he might be getting really frustrated about. Yeah, you're right

158
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: after a game when dad got hurt against the Bucks.

159
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: Gary comes right out and talks and McCarthy hasn't even

160
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: hit the hit the podium yet, and what he is

161
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: saying is not the same, it's not it's not the

162
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: same thing. He's not as the definitive about him being

163
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: out for a while. And you know, all this started

164
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: when they didn't put him on ir too, and they

165
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: didn't put him on IR. It's like, well, you know,

166
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: could the same with Gallup. They didn't put him on

167
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: IR because he did come back in the fourth game.

168
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: Point and now you know, but they didn't put Dak

169
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: on IR. And there's different reasons for that. And it

170
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: wasn't about just playing. It was about being around the team. Yeah,

171
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: point right. Coaches know exactly what's going on with they know,

172
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: but they definitely know. And I again, like I said,

173
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: I don't know that he knows a detail like literally

174
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: today he's gonna do this exercise and this exercise and

175
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: this exercise. But he's certainly you're right, he knows the

176
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: prognosis of his quarterback and what's going on with his quarterback.

177
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: He may not always want to say that, and in

178
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: some instances he may not have to if he were

179
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: on another team. Sure, and this team, he's got to

180
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: always be aware of what did the owners say, because

181
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: that's an equally more powerful I should say not equally powerful,

182
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: more powerful voice in your own building who talks regularly.

183
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: You got to be aware of it. I wish I

184
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: wish Mike would have come out today and said, well,

185
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: he's gonna do the flaming procedure, right, and then they're

186
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: gonna money, and then they're gonna go into Jones rehabilitation system,

187
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: and then they're gonna I mean, it had been funny

188
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: if he had just listed all all these terms that

189
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: everyone's exactly what he's got. He's got gamekeeper thumb, and

190
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: now and they're dealing with it in a what you know,

191
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: and everyone's in the press. That's gamekeeper thumb. Yeah, that's

192
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: actually a real gamekeeper thumb is a real injury. And

193
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: by the way, real quick, it's it's a scouting term.

194
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: It's a scouting injury because back in the day, people

195
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: used to when they collect birds, though, and you and

196
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: you reach down to get the bird, your thumb would

197
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: jam into the ground and so it was like you

198
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: would break your thumb or you would have an injury.

199
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: So they called it gamekeeper game being birds and you're

200
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: gathering birds and these people would slam their thumbs into

201
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: the ground and suffer injury. Yeah, and we now use

202
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: it as a scouting term. There is also one called

203
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: xbox itis where and I think Derek has that Derek

204
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: has in your thumb, like messed up. It's gone down

205
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: quite a big because I don't play as much as

206
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: I used to. But it used to be like a

207
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: huge yeah, even a blister, it was just like it

208
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: was a callous that came from the actual bone that

209
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: was just kind of this big and I was that

210
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: was I used to play a lot of tank. That's

211
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: why I stopped playing the guitar. I was gonna, oh yeah, like,

212
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is painful, and I quite Yeah,

213
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: all right, let's jump back in. Let's let's get an update.

214
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: Actually talk about Deman Clark. Where are we with Damon Clark?

215
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: He's back, Actually he's never never was never here, So

216
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's back because he's never he's

217
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: been here. He's been here. Yeah, neck and back and um,

218
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: he's you know fifth round pick that they that they

219
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: drafted with hopes that he could you know, be further along.

220
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: And I think that was one of the issues, Um,

221
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: you know, when when he got hurt right after the

222
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,599
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl. The doctors and trainers have different opinions on

223
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: these guys when they could come back. And so I

224
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: think there's some teams that didn't want to draft the

225
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: board off the board, and they got him in the

226
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: fifth round. And I don't think anyone really thought it

227
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: would be this early in the season that he would

228
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: be starting to practice. Yeah, that's the thing about it,

229
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: coming at it when you that's my alma mater. So

230
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: I watched him play that. The Cowboys stole one here

231
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys. The Cowboys have a great history of

232
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: taking guys that are injured and saying, Okay, we'll be

233
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: patient because they do trust Jim Mayer, they do trust

234
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: Britt Brown. This kid right here, you talk about a

235
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: guy that, I mean the last two years LSU struggled

236
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: to be five hundred after a national championship team. He

237
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: never quit, he never wavered, He played hard. He's a

238
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: big guy. You you watch stand next him physically as

239
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: stand next to him, and you're going, man, this guy

240
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: he's like that Micah Parsons kind of big body guys

241
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: McLain kind of big yes, yes, yes, And you know

242
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: bru Cox is a smaller more cover. This guy can cover,

243
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: This guy can rush, this guy can tackle, this guy

244
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: takes on runs. This guy if he doesn't, I'm just

245
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: tell you if he if he's not well, real quick,

246
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: if he's not injured or they the Cowboys were the

247
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: ones that found the problem with his back neck area.

248
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: They if he doesn't, he's a maybe a late one,

249
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: early two draft pick. He's he was on a lot

250
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: of boards. I never moved him off the board because

251
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: I'm thinking somebody's gonna take I had him in the

252
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: second round, I know, on my board, and when he

253
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: was taken by the Cowboys, I'm like, here they go.

254
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: They stole one. They did their homework on a guy. Yeah,

255
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: he didn't mess around. That's what he doesn't do. You know.

256
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: Jody Camillis used to say on my favorite coaches of

257
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: all time used to call people some jf as, some

258
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: Johnny f around. Yeah, just sitting over there. He didn't

259
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 1: do that. This guy is business approach. He I mean,

260
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: he's come in from day one, and I think that's

261
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why he's already ready to play

262
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: is because he or not ready to play. He's ready

263
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: to practice. We'll see what happens he starts practicing. But

264
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: like his commitment to rehab and getting better, it has

265
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: been here from day one. He's not one that's You're

266
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: not going to see a lot of our social media

267
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: interviews and fun little what's your favorite color? I don't

268
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be him. He was here from the

269
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: very first mini camp. You remember when we were standing

270
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: there going through the drills as much as he could,

271
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean, taking the steps and all that. He has

272
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: been mental reps from the day from day one, and like,

273
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: he's here to play and if he can contribute at all,

274
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: this could be, like you said, it could be a steal. Yeah. Wow,

275
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: that's that gets to be really excited because you talk

276
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: about the strength of this defense and I think that

277
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: maybe they are just kind of one or two tweaks

278
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: I don't even want to say players, but tweaks away

279
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: from really kind of taking that step to where we're

280
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: talking about a really, really extremely dominant defense. And he

281
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: might be that piece, right, he might be that guy linebacker,

282
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: which linebackers the position we talked about a little earlier

283
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: this week that sometimes you get like you have a

284
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: little bit better play there. This guy wants to be

285
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: in every tackle. That's when you watched him play at

286
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: Lshoe He I mean, he played under defense that was

287
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: struggling and he but every single play you're like, that's him.

288
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: That's him again. I remember last year and Dave was

289
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: you know, we're talking about arkantas LSU game and I

290
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: was like, he goes like, you guys are gonna win,

291
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't. I don't know. He's like,

292
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: we're not very good this year. And I was like, well,

293
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: who's number eighteen? Because I've seen him play and number

294
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: eighteen is a famous number. Yeah, yeah, and he got

295
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: the number, but like, you know, we don't have any players.

296
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: It looks like that, and um, you know, I mean

297
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: that's just how good he is. He just he just

298
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: pops out and he's a linebacker. He's not just I

299
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: mean looks like a defensive end though. Yeah he is

300
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: he an off the ball guy? Or is he a

301
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: play off the ball you could do? You could, you

302
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: could play this guy anywhere. He's got that kind of

303
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: I'm not over selling this because he's an LSU guy.

304
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you when you watch him play, he rushes,

305
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: he attacks, he spies. I mean, they're they're Nick's talking

306
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: about it that. I'll tell you what. This guy sounds

307
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: bigger though many I'm kind of like, no, no telling me,

308
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: I got another telling you this guy. This guy legitimately,

309
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: you know, when you start to talk about the best

310
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: linebackers in the country. This was one of them. This

311
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: guy was one of them, and people took him off

312
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: the board because they were scared of his back and

313
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: that situation. And you know, I'm like when the cowboys

314
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: took him, I just remember sitting here in this in

315
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: this exact spot and thinking, they stole another one. They

316
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: stole a guy that people are just going to sleep

317
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: on and because of an injury, and uh, you know,

318
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: good for them. I got him practice, But I promise you,

319
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: and he gets the opportunity to play, you'll find out

320
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,680

Speaker 1: They have two guys are gonna put in the practice squad.

354
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: Basically they're gonna call them up on a game day elevator.

355
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: So they had to get Will Greer on the team.

356
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: So mcqui will go to Ir Greer. Greer, you only

357
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: get three call ups for the practice squad, so he's

358
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: been this would be he's already had three. There's no

359
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: more elevations on game day for him, so you know

361
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: however long until Dak comes back, and then I guess

362
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: they can move him back down. So at that point

363
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: they got to cut him to be able to get

364
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: him back to the practice squad. Correct, Yes, yes, yeah,

365

368
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: seen you know, backup snappers. And I was asked on

369
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: the on the radio this morning, there's gonna be a problem,

370
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I was here in two thousand and

371
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: one and and so I know that Congo was no,

372
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: not him, It was we brought in Mike Solwald and

373
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: Randy Chevrier. One guy was driving a truck and it

374
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: was I couldn't remember chev He was about to he

375
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: was about to take a big truckload to California. But

376
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: like man, I mean, it was almost like the movie

377
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: Major League when he was like, well, I got another

378
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: guy on the line with White Walls, I mean, let

379
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: me go manage the team. And it was like that.

380
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: And the snaps, I mean, I mean he basically had

381
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: a bad snap in a game against Atlanta and broke

382
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: the kicker's foot because he tried to pick it up.

383
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: And you know, so it was it was bad. It

384
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: can it can it can go bad. Well, so they're

385
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: playing the Falcons, I believe it's just like two thousand

386
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: and one, and it was it Maybe wun't Chevy, it

387
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: was Soul Walled had a terrible I mean, this is

388
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: like to win the game or late in the game

389
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: and there's like a fifty yard kick snap goes over

390
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: his head. The kicker, who's like a also he was

391
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: a teacher before the Cowboys called him to be a

392
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: he goes, he goes to pick up the ball, he

393
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: gets tackled, it breaks his foot. He's out, so that

394
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 1: they replaced the snapper like that was your last nap.

395
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: The kicker he had to get a new kicker. Shockingly,

396
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: this was not a good football season for the Cowboys.

397
00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: What are you again gonna be like, No, no, he's

398
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: not wrong, he is not wrong. I mean, I don't know.

399
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 1: I think every day Saints, I go, this guy knows,

400
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: this guy knows what's going on here today it was

401
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: and it was that was your last snap? It was

402
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, and and the same thing happened in two

403
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: thousand and five. I mean, I think the LP story

404
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite stories. It is time. I

405
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,479
Speaker 1: love it. And he just just because he was in

406
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: California and we're there, I don't know, you might need

407
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: him to come back. I'm about to say, like can

408
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: we make like what are we doing? Let me just

409
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: tell you that. Let's call him side. We got cookie

410
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: and he'll yeah, yeah, he's eating a cookie. There's no

411
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: doubt he's eating a cookie or pushing somebody and keep moving. Yeah, yeah,

412
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: all right through. But I can tell you what's the radio?

413
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: This is, this is what this is what would happen? LP?

414
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: LP drives into the parking lot. He's about to walk

415
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: in and he's in the security guards there and he's like,

416
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, I'm here. I'm about to gonna fill in

417
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: here for a few games. And Jason Witten standing at

418
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: the door as a new security guard. He's like, no, no,

419
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: you're not You're not doing that. No, thank you. Now,

420
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: I got a big mural up here. You don't. Because

421
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: Jason Witten has the Cowboys record for two hundred and

422
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: fifty five career games. H lp Letticer has two hundred

423
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: and fifty three. Yeah, you think Witten's gonna let lp

424
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: come in here, snap the ball three or four times

425
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: and break kids record? Now not happening. He's got a mural.

426
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: He's gonna call Charlotte. He's like, Nah, this ain't happen him.

427
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: He was one of my favorite guys. I'm kidding, I

428
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: think to that. I think, but I'm thinking that Witten

429
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: has that much power. I don't know if he does,

430
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: but uh, because if so, he would have been a coach.

431
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: But um, no, kidding, kidding, I'm just saying, you know, yeah,

432
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: he didn't get released. I mean you know, he got

433
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: he got cut, but um, you see him going up

434
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 1: to Jerry's office. No, no, I think they're going you know,

435
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: it's not like, yeah, I mean that they could have

436
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: signed LP when they had him, you know, and he

437
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: wanted to come back and play. So I don't think

438
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. They got the younger guys and and

439
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, most of the time around the league, college,

440
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: high school, most snaps are pretty good. You would think

441
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: these guys are gonna be pretty good. Yeah, So I

442
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: just I just hope it doesn't throw off what we

443
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: got going right now at the kicker, because there is

444
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: a rhythm to it, and I'm a little bit concerned

445
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: about that because the kicker is doing a really great

446
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: job right now. Anything messing up his mojo. They told

447
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: McQuaid wasn't snapping, Well, he wasn't. Yeah, that was a

448
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: question that there were people in the organization or like

449
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: maybe some of the problems that you were having a

450
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: training camp might There were people walking up to me

451
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: in the preseason like, hey, listen, I know you guys

452
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: are busting on these these kickers right now, but just

453
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: watched the snaps in practice and tell me what you think.

Speaker 1: by blockchain dot Com. Let's jump right in Los Angeles,

507
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: Ram's offense versus Dallas Defense. And I know I usually

508
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: start with what do they do best? But I'm going

509
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: to alter that this week and say, other than throwing

510
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: to Cooper Cup, what do they do best offensively? Yeah?

511
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: What you're gonna get this week is I feel like

512
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: that with the protection problems and studying their games, studying

513
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 1: their all twenty two, it was really more about the

514
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: forty nine ers did a great job on the outside

515
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: of covering, and I mean covering is they couldn't get

516
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: the ball quick enough to Cup or they couldn't get

517
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: the ball quick enough to Higbee. They try to get

518
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: the ball to Row Robotson and it just hasn't worked

519
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: out as well as they I think they've hoped. They

520
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: struggle at the offensive tackle spot. They've been banged up inside.

521
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 1: The thing that they I think that they do the

522
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: best is they're going to try and control Dallas's rush

523
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: with while we saw I went back and watch two

524
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: games this pass game and I went back and watch

525
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 1: the Arizona game just because of their defense as well.

526
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: You're gonna see the wide receiver screens. You're gonna see

527
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: the screens at the back. This quarterback is very comfortable.

528
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: And when I talk about Matthew Stafford of throwing it

529
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: from any arm angle, he will throw around rushers when

530
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: they go up, he'll you know, he's got that little

531
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: flick he'll throw over the top. He is a really,

532
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: really good deliver of the ball. When it comes to

533
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 1: the screen packages, I have a feeling they're gonna try

534
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: and not only do they run the wide receiver screens,

535
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 1: but they run the running back screens. Too, and they're

536
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: not gonna let Dallas tee off on this on them

537
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: with their defensive line, so it's would be ball down

538
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: the field. You're absolutely right, it's Cooper Cup. You know.

539
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: They're trying to get Robinson involved. They just can't. I mean,

540
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: he just can't get They can't get him going. But

541
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: him and Higbee are the guys that the main people

542
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: you have to stop. They're gonna throw the ball to Henderson,

543
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna throw the ball to Acres if they can.

544
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 1: And it's probably going to be to control your rush

545
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: through some screens. They did in two games that I watched.

546
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: It wasn't just okay, we need to do something to

547
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 1: keep San Francisco office. They did it also against Arizona.

548
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: So get ready for that to kind of control your rush.

549
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: We know they are vulnerable at the offensive line. I

550
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: think that's probably the areas the greatest vulnerability. My question

551
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: for you is what part of that offensive line is

552
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: most vulnerable that the Cowboys should be focused on trying

553
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: to really exploit. Yeah, they have there's we'll see what

554
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: happens with David Edwards, their guard they drafted, you know,

555
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 1: in the fifth round in twenty nineteen, he's been banged up.

556
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: They've been playing with a gain named Bobby Evans, who

557
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: is a third round pick in two thousand and nineteen,

558
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: and they just haven't been very stable there. The center

559
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: Brian Allen's been nicked up as well. Note Boom is

560
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: a kid that's interesting. I think a lot of it

561
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: when he gets in trouble. He's the left tackle and

562
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: he gets real tall. He you know, he doesn't play

563
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: with very good knee bend, and so what happens is

564
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: people take him back and or they'll beat him with

565
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: quickness and he just hasn't been able to just because

566
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: he's so tall, and he just can't without a base,

567
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: he can't move or slide. So that's a that's a

568
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: big problem for them in that regard. And then this

569
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: Rob Haverstein's he's a veteran guy, but I mean he's

570
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: kind of a he's kind of a maller brawler guy.

571
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: He's not really a great athlete. I think Tank will

572
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: have some good rushes against him, because Tanks really good

573
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: of when a tackle throws hands. Tank is good on

574
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: the slap and then get his get his left shoulder

575
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: or his right shoulder underneath and then press that way.

576
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: And Hammerstein is not that I don't think he's a

577
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: great athlete, because I say he's a mall er brawler

578
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: kind of guy. Their their running game is they're capable.

579
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: They're capable of running the football. Cam Akers and Henderson

580
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: they can run the football. They just haven't had a

581
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 1: lot of space in the games that i've but there

582
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: there are some times where in that Arizona game where

583
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: they got the ball on the perimeter and that's the

584
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: kind of the things that's now my new thing. Watch

585
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: perimeter runs against teams that you play against, if they

586
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: have guys that are capable, when they miss up perimeter runs,

587
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: it's bunch formation and then they get kind of muddled

588
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: and confused on who they're supposed to block their receivers.

589
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: Struggle with that a little bit on the edge, but

590
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: they're capable team of doing it. I was just I'm

591
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: just feeling old. I remember note Boom being in high school,

592
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: covering him in Plano Senior High here right, Yeah, I

593
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: know he was a guy plan ol guy and then

594
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: went to TCU. Yeah, playoff singer. Yes, Okay, he's uh,

595
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's made a good career for himself.

596
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: But you know, like you said, I mean that that

597
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: is their issue. I mean, I'm I'm just trying to

598
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: figure out, like, you know, how do the Rams win

599
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: this game? Like like in their favorite to win. I know,

600
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: how they defense? No, I think their running game is

601
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: it has not gotten off. They got to good running backs.

602
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: And by the way, if you hadn't noticed, Cowboys are

603
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: towards the bottom of the league when it comes to

604
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: stopping the run. Somehow it hasn't reflected in points that

605
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: they're giving up because at the top of the league

606
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: in not allowing team to score. But they have not

607
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: been successful stopping the run this season. When you look

608
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: across the games they've played, and this game looks to

609
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: me like that kind of game, I guess that's a

610
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: were a question for you, Brian. But how to that

611
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: point then, because I was looking at the running game,

612
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: what it's looked like, I'm like, Okay, yes, they're good

613
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: running backs, but it's not something that's taking off just yet.

614
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,479
Speaker 1: How has the opposing teams that they played they have

615
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: a good defense. Yeah, when you know, that's what I

616
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: was saying. I was watching with Arizona and then I

617
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: was watching with with San Francisco has got really good

618
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: safety play and they've got linebackers that can really really run.

619
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: And now, okay, that's your that's your trick right there

620
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: if you're the Cowboys. Is you know when the Cowboys

621
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: have looked bad defending the run, it's it's been a

622
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: defensive end and then it's been a linebacker not getting

623
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: up and it's not it's a corner playing wide. And

624
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: it's also you know, you watch some of these teams play,

625
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: like the forty years, their corners were coming up and

626
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: making plays. They're they're they're you know, willing tacklers. I

627
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,239
Speaker 1: mean even watching the even watching guys you know like

628
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: Ramsey play for them. When we get to their defense,

629
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: Ramsey will force Ramsey will come up and make a tackle.

630
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: You know, your corners tend to play and I'm talking

631
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: about Brown too. I'm not just talking about you know

632
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: they play wide. Yeah, why you know Brown and Digs,

633
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: they tend to stretch and they get they get pushed

634
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: and what happens that creates that seam or that space

635
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: too if they get the corner. I mean, I think

636
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: it's really it's been really really hard on the Cowboys

637
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: because They're not just one guy gets blocked. You get

638
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: an end gets blocked, you get a linebackers, it's a

639
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: step light, and you get a corner that plays wide.

640
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna give up some stuff off the edge. And

641
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: I think the opponents that did have faced the rams,

642
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: they don't play that way. You don't see now, we'll

643
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: see if if in fact that you know, there's times

644
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: where with I think, with curse being in me personally,

645
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: my adjustment for taking I put curse on the field

646
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: and I take bar off the field is what I do,

647
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: because I mean bar to me is he hasn't seen this.

648
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: He I mean, they'll be motioned across or the jet motion,

649
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: and then they'll be the handoff behind it, and you'll

650
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: see him eyes on jet motion going this way. Balls

651
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: come in the other way, and you're going no, no,

652
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, you've got to get over here. And

653
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: then vander esh has been like he's having to kind

654
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: of make up for the defensive end getting hooked, and

655
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden there's not a forced player

656
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: behind him. And I don't know if it's all on

657
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: Vandersh either, but they when they play bad against the run,

658
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: it's usually it starts at the end and then the

659
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: linebacker and then the corner. That's usually what happens with them.

660
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: And I'll throw this out to Amber two. You talked

661
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: about trying to get a comparative of kind of the

662
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys relative to the teams they played. Check out this

663
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: for Washington. Washington last week put up one hundred and

664
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: forty two yards on the ground against Dallas, And there's

665
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: three previous games they didn't get more than eighty eight

666
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: yards on the ground. They almost doubled or well almost

667
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: a chunk run. Yeah, they almost doubled what they'd been

668
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: doing previously. When it came to what they did last

669
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: week versus the Cowboys, that's the first thing they loaded

670
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: to me. And then when you look at the Cowboys numbers,

671
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: they've given up one fifty two, one sixty seven, one

672
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: forty two. Like you look at what they're giving up

673
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: on the ground. Typically that's a recipe from disaster defense.

674
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: For some reason, it has not been for them. But

675
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean it's still a small sample size. But are

676
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: we sure these aren't hollow numbers because well, I mean

677
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: they're not scoring. They're not scoring. Yeah, by the way, Yeah,

678
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: the scheme is don't give up anything big and also

679
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: get after their ass. And so what happens is is

680
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: the outside edges and some of the lanes to run

681
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: the ball. But when they get inside the twenty, I mean,

682
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: Barkley broke off a thirty five yard because he's a

683
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: really good player and scored. When they get inside the twenty, though,

684
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: things are shifting down there there. There's you know, they're

685
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: squeezing them out and they're getting field goals and so

686
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, yes, those numbers are usually when

687
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: you run like that, you're gonna have a success. But

688
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think dan Quinn, it's not. It's

689
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: almost like that these are trend. Can the Cowboys play

690
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: against the team that doesn't get penalties? That's the key? Yeah, right,

691
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: And if you're gonna play that style of football, which

692
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: is we're gonna run the ball, we're going to take

693
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: these long drives because we've seen teams do that all seasons.

694
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: To the Cowboys, they'll have him on these long drives.

695
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: The problem is most teams can't successfully not have the

696
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: penalty that kills the drive because somebody, because somebody's athletic

697
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: on the defensive line, it gets held right, So now

698
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: instead of like the other day, you know, they had

699
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: a had a thirteen yard run in the game and

700
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: then it gets a holding call brings it back and

701
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: then what happens sack punt? You know that. I mean,

702
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: that's the kind of thing, you know, if teams are

703
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: able to stay ahead of the chains against the Cowboys defense.

704
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: And actually Cincinnati did it in the second half of

705
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: the game. Remember on the nineteen play drive they went on,

706
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: they only got one penalty along the way, Dallas had

707
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: a penalty. Since they had no penalties, Das had twelve

708
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: men on the field. And if I'm not mistaken, same

709
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: thing happened in the watching game the one touchdown dropped

710
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: the head, They drove the ball down the field and

711
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: they had no mistakes. And if you can do that

712
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: and play mistake free football, that might be a way

713
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 1: to neutralize his defense. You find a way. If Dallas

714
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: gets you in like long yarded situations, they kill you,

715
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: right they if you play if your medium to them

716
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: or stay ahead and don't get penalties, that tends to

717
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: be a little bit more problematic for them. And here's

718
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: the other thing. A note. Right now, opponents are averaging

719
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 1: five yards per attempt on the ground against the Cowboys,

720
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: if you can sustain it, there's something there for him

721
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: you can make. You can move the ball, but you

722
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: just can't. You can't have penalties. And once they run

723
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: into a team that can do that clean, they can

724
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: play clean on offense. That's gonna be a problem for

725
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys that they got to prevent. They got to

726
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: prevent Matthew Stafford from being throwing interceptions and stuff. There

727
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: were a couple in the San Francisco game in the

728
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: red zone. He should have had one that was intercepted there.

729
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he will, he will give you the ball.

730
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: But I have a feeling that they're gonna they're gonna

731
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna try and run the ball on you in

732
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: this game. And I think they're gonna run screens. I

733
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: think whether it's screens to Cup or did these backs

734
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: they're or Higbie, they're going to run screens to try

735
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: and keep you from rushing. That's gonna be their form

736
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: of a running game too. All right, we're gonna take

737
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: our final break. We'll come back. Brian's got a little

738

Speaker 1: game force. We'll have a little fun here in this

739
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,880

748
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

749
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,479
Speaker 1: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

750
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

751
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

752
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

753
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

754
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

755
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

756
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: T five G. Fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated. Five

757

791
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: jump back in, Brian, you got a game for us?

792
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: I do? I do you remind me that I was

793
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: old at an old man moment there for a minute,

794
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: Uh I do. Let me pull the game up. I

795
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: have it here on my phone. Uh. Just feel free

796
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: to talk among yourself while I do this. All right,

797
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: here we go, love games we go. Yeah. Yeah, sometimes

798
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: I forget what I'm doing on the radio. All right,

799
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,439
Speaker 1: all right, what I've done is the Cowboys have had

800
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: to run through several guys that have been backups this

801
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: year and backups and you know, usually you're kind of like,

802
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, I don't know how this

803
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: is going to work out. What I would like to

804
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: know is give me a letter grade and give me

805
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 1: a reason why you give your letter grade too, on

806
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: these backups and how they've played. And it's funny because

807
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: there seems to be so many more on the offensive

808
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: side of the ball as opposed to the defensive side

809
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: of the ball. But give me. I'm gonna say a

810
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: player's name, give me a grade as I go around

811
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: the room, and bar, I'll start with you first, and

812
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: give me the grade and give me the reason why

813
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: the grade. Okay, here we go. Tyler Smith, Tyler Smith,

814
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: Alwa's played for you, I would say, you know what

815
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: a a because one being a rookie too, the different

816
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,439
Speaker 1: changes that he had all throughout training camp without being

817
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: like completely certain and where he was going to play.

818
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, now he has to play

819
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: tackle and be your starter. The amount. Yes, he hasn't

820
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 1: played every single snap like completely clean and stake free,

821
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: but I think he's done such an amazing job so far,

822
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: and he's kept it at minimal I think one of

823
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: the issues for him going into the season, or questions

824
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: I would say, was the penalties. Would he be able

825
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: to stay penalty free? And I think up to his point, like,

826
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: he hasn't necessarily been a problem in that aspect. So

827
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: I would say, what did I give him a? Yeah,

828
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: he's missing the plus, but he got an A Derek

829
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: I would I'm not gonna give him. I'm not gonna

830
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: put him on a curve. I think he's he's a

831
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: good player. I would give him a B minus. Um,

832
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: I think he's played well. I think there's still some

833
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: areas for development. I think there's some plays that you

834
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 1: noticed from him where you're like, oh, and you, oh,

835
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: you may have gotten away with one there, like those

836
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: kind of moments that pop up that maybe he didn't

837
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: get caught, but you know, like that was not a

838
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: that was not a good rep for him. I think

839
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: there's still some development to work but for him to

840
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: work on. But quite frankly, like he is. He is

841
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: definitely the left tackle future. There's no question about that.

842
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: And the fact you found that and you feel good

843
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: about that, I think is what the story really is.

844
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: But I give him a B minus. Yeah, I give

845
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 1: him A B. I think he's been good. He's been

846
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 1: really solid. There's some things like you see and then

847
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: you know, but but there's but I think he's you know,

848
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: he's growing and he's he's doing it. He's doing an

849
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: early nice job. But I don't I don't agree with

850
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: the curves as well. Grading on curve. I mean, if

851
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 1: I was a teacher, he can't do that. You graded

852
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: for what it is. So I think it's a B.

853
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: But um, I expect to be sitting here later in

854
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 1: the season and it would be an A. Yeah, I agree,

855
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: and by next year I expect. Yeah, for the next

856
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 1: five to seven years, he is consistently A A A yeah.

857
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: I went, I went B plus on him myself. Okay, Nick,

858
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: I'll come back, you'll swing it the other way. How

859
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: about Noah Brown? Noah Brown, I'd give a B plus.

860
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 1: I think he's been a good, solid receiver. Um. Again,

861
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: and not off of expectations. I wasn't expected him to

862
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: be like that. Um, he's he's he had a game

863
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: where he was an A plus and won the game

864
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 1: for them. Um. But he's he's been he's been really good.

865
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: Not not the guy that would tell takeaway number one

866
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:02,919
Speaker 1: you know, corners that have to go and find him.

867
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,240
Speaker 1: But I think that for the role that he's playing,

868
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: I think he's been really good. Yeah, I gave him

869
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: a B plus as well. I was kind of like

870
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 1: maybe a B but I think what you said there

871
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: at the end, like just what he was able to

872
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: do that the A plus game, yeah, is what gets

873
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: him up to a B plus for me, because there

874
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: was one game they don't win without him, yeah, Cincinnati, Yeah,

875
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 1: they don't win that game without him. So I think

876
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: from that respect, i'd give him a B plus. But

877
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: he's been really good again, really good. Yeah, B plus

878
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: as well if it was based off expectations, and probably

879
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: gave him an A plus because I did not expect

880
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: him to be anything that he's been so far. But

881
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: another thing, he comes out and I saw someone on

882
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: Twitter coming this, it's like you guys are basing your

883
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: opinions or analysis on a guy that he didn't necessarily like.

884
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: He's now getting those kinds of opportunities, therefore he can

885
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: showcase what he can really do. I don't think that's

886
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 1: fully true because we have seen him in other occations

887
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: and he hasn't been that guy. But I think this year. Yes,

888
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: he's he's doing what I did not expect him to do,

889
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: and I thought the Cowboys were not gonna be able

890
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 1: to survive this first few weeks at the wide receiver

891
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: course while they were waiting for Michael Gallup in Washington

892
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 1: to come back. I gave him an a myself because

893
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: my expectations were every year we kind of see him

894
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: have a great training camp. But he's he's backing it up.

895
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: He had an opportunity last year. I mean he did

896
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: have an opportunity. Cedric Wilson played better than him and

897
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: that's why Cedric Wilson was able to get what he went. Okay,

898
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: Ambar back to you, Donovan Wilson. Yeah, B plus B plus.

899
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: I love the guy, you know what, Give him an a.

900
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: I feel good today. Give him an a. I just

901
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: love him. I love the way he plays. I love

902
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: the passion that he has, the way that he's not

903
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 1: afraid to make those tackles. He just needs to work

904
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: on some of those things to kind of be more

905
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 1: thoughtful on his moves. But as soon as he cleans

906
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: that up, and I think he'll just come with a

907
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: little bit more experience. But once he cleans that up,

908
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: he will be an A plus player for me. Yeah,

909
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm I want to give him an a plus because

910
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: I look at how he's played. I look at the

911
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 1: fact that he is a better curse like right now,

912
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,919
Speaker 1: right now, he is doing a lot of different things

913
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: for them. He's making a lot of it plays that

914
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: that I think they need from him right now. The

915
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: only thing that's a knock at all is that I

916
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 1: don't always think he's the smartest guy when it comes

917
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: to some of the things he does. Yeah, I just,

918
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: I just I don't think he's always really thinks about

919
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: the game the way he needs to. That's the only

920
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: knock I have him. But even in those situations this year,

921
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's killed him with that. And

922
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: that's what makes me still say I kind of think

923
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: I want to give him an A plus. He's been

924
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: as good as anybody on this team through the first

925
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: four weeks. Yeah, I give him an a minus. Uh.

926
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 1: I think that you know, he's since he's been the starter,

927
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: they're they're they're undefeated. The game that he didn't start

928
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: against the Bucks, he got a pick off off Tom

929
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: Brady there. I think that he's come in and done

930
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: a great job and the fact that I'm not saying

931
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: he is a even a poor man's Troy Palomala. Yeah,

932
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: but he reminds me of that safety because there are

933
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 1: times where he's back there in a blitz and there's

934
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: times where he's forty yards down the field. He guesses

935
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: right a lot, which means he's he's instinctive and around

936
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: the ball. If he can clean up some of those

937
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: over reckless, over aggressive penalties, that that's really that maybe

938
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: you will never get out of your system if you're

939
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: going to play that way. Sometimes it just happens, and

940
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: maybe that's a part of why he's able to do

941
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: all the other things he's able. But but yeah, I

942
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 1: think he's he's been good. This isn't based off expectations.

943
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: Is based off a guy that's come in and the

944
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: defense has gotten even better in three games. Yeah, I

945
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: went a minus as well. There. I think you're right

946
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: about I think everybody does a Really, you guys painted

947
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: the picture what the player is. I'm saying, Okay, how

948
00:45:54,160 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: about Nick, how about Jake ferguson Um. I would say, again,

949
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: this is not an expectation thing. I would say probably

950
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 1: a B minus. You know, he's been good. In the preseason.

951
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 1: I thought he was really good. He caught everything they

952
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: threw at him. Um, you know, I thought they held

953
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: their own when when Schultz was out, and then they

954
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: did a enough job. I mean he nothing has has

955
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: gone backwards with some of these injuries, but nothing too

956
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: flashy either. Um. I'm thinking about you know, I'm not

957
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: thinking about me bringing home a B minus because there

958
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: would have been a party. But I'm just saying for

959
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: most people, a B minus would have been like, hey,

960
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 1: good job, you could do better, you could do better,

961
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: keep it up. But but you know B minus was

962
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 1: that was pretty good. No, no, not my house. Well

963
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 1: we're still here. I mean, there's a party from I

964
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: would give him a B. And the reason I give

965
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 1: him a bus because I think for the role that

966
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,399
Speaker 1: they've given him, I don't think they've really asked him

967
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: a ton to be that guy down feel for them,

968
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: But what they have asked him to do is block,

969
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: and I think he's been really good. Okay, do this

970
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: for me. I'm sorry. Then this put both the guys together,

971
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: put him and him and him a shot together as

972
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: one player, as one as one player, I'm stepping up

973
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 1: into the A A minus range because I think the

974
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: both of them together and this is gonna sound sell

975
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: him in four games, I get it. But they certainly

976
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,439
Speaker 1: are making Yeah, they're really making me think like once

977
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: this season is over, if this continues as it's going,

978
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: I would be shocked if Dalton Schultz is back here

979
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: next year. I think you can command a higher number

980
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: on the free agent market than what the Cowboys would

981
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: be willing to pay him. They have those two guys,

982
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: see what happens when Dak comes back, because sometimes some

983
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: guys rely on different parts of the game. And I mean,

984
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: I remember there was times you gotta go back and

985
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: look when Aikman left and Akman was hurt. Novicheck didn't

986
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: have great games never but but but it was just

987
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 1: more of that's what Dak would focus on. So Dak

988
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: might get it back in you'll see Schultz's numbers. But

989
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: that also is again that goes to my point. I

990
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,399
Speaker 1: think that's going to drive him out because I think

991
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are gonna look at it like do we

992
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: need to pay him top of the market money, because

993
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: I do think they think that he plays like he

994
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: should be paid among the top tight ends. But they

995
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,240
Speaker 1: would probably look at it and say, our two young guys,

996
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: we think we can get the same thing out of

997
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 1: them for a lot less money, even combined for a

998
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: lot less money and what we can pay. And I

999
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: think that drives him to free agent. Mark, how about you, ag?

1000
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: I would give a minus and just they've been doing

1001
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: everything that the Cowboys have asked them to do in

1002
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 1: a good way. And I remember during the draft, I

1003
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: was looking at a film and all that, and I'm like, uh,

1004
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: you know Fergus and I was like looking at his stuff,

1005
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: I'm like eh. But then now when he got here,

1006
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 1: he started making those catches, I'm like, okay, especially at

1007
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 1: your backup position, you need those guys, someone that can block. Anyways,

1008
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: I know we gotta go. But a minus good And

1009
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 1: the final one is Cooper Rush a plus plus plus

1010
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:52,319
Speaker 1: plus plus, Yes, that's all. I gotta say. Stickers everywhere, stickers. Yeah,

1011
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: that's a full paper full of stickers. As a minus, yeah,

1012
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,439
Speaker 1: just because you know, but he's getting better. Every game

1013
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: is umbers are getting better. They're kind of leaning on

1014
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,879
Speaker 1: him a little bit more. I don't think he helped them.

1015
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: I don't think he was the reason they won every game,

1016
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: but he's certainly not the reason that they've been losing

1017
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 1: it because they haven't. And so you got to give

1018
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:14,840
Speaker 1: a quarterback credit for that. Yeah, I give him. I

1019
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,720
Speaker 1: give him an AA minus. It's more about the fact

1020
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 1: that I don't think they're asking as much of him

1021
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: as what they put on Dak. But it does make

1022
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: me question, like, should they put that much on deck?

1023
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 1: Maybe they need and maybe you get a little bit

1024
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 1: more out of Dak by not asking of him when

1025
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: I think that, because I think Dak has asked that too.

1026
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 1: If you have some of the quotes, I think Dak

1027
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: has kind of mentioned that too, Like, it's not it

1028
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be this difficult. Let's make it simple, right, So,

1029
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: thank you guys for playing. All right, thank you for

1030
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: that game. That was interesting, that was fun. We'll get

1031
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: back to uh some more talk tomorrow. Actually tomorrow we're

1032
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,439
Speaker 1: gonna jump over to the Los Angeles Rams. I'm sorry,

1033
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams defense. That's the part that that could

1034
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,479
Speaker 1: be a little bit tricky. Sure we can talk about

1035
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,240
Speaker 1: their defense versus the Cowboys offense. Still then for Nick Eamon,

1036
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 1: Brian broad Us, Namba Garcia, I'm Derek Eagleson. This has
