Speaker 1 (00:04):
So in the NFL things to get two.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
The Cowboys played their first preseason game tomorrow night in
Los Angeles. What are you expecting. I'm not expecting much,
I guess. I don't expect Dak to play. I don't
expect Ceedee Lamb to play. I don't expect Jake Ferguson
to play. I don't think Perkins Perkins George pick Pickens
is gonna play Perkins Pickens, you know, I don't.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Think he's gonna play.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Uh, And I know Dak and I'm one hundred percent
sure of Mic is not is not gonna play either.
So we'll see everybody else and see what happens. But well,
I think these these teams. I can't remember who was
talking to Dan Patrick today, but I think there's a
lot of things that the Kansas City Chiefs have set
(00:50):
kind of the tone the last few years of getting
off to a good start in the regular season, and
they've given Patrick Mahomes a series or two and two
or three preseason games every year, and I think that's important.
I think more teams need to do that because I
don't think you just want to walk into the regular
season cold college games. College teams will scrimmage themselves during
(01:10):
the season. I wish college teams could do scrimmages with
other you know, like inner like if you like listen
for example, TCU and SMU. Why can't they have a
joint practice sometime in August or UTSA and incarnate word,
why can't they have a joint practice.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Well, I think colleges.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Should be able to do that, just to get a
different look.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Well, wasn't there I want to say it was.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It was Dion tried to do that with Well, they
tried to do the spring game. Yeah, they were going
to do the spring game like it was going to
be Colorado and Virginia or somebody like that.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, somebody, But there was I think there were some.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Rules that that rules. Well, you can change the rules.
It's just a matter of you know, having the guys
to do it.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I hate when like Colin brings up you know, obviously
you're not a proponent of preseason games. I like preseason games.
I know Shane is big on preseason games because you
want to know who the whole team is, you know,
bring barring injuries, which happened, it's okay, I need to
know who this particular player is. And how well he'll
(02:13):
be able to, you know, keep the float a ship
until the starter comes.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I don't think that you can tell in a preseason game.
And I'll get into this discussion a minute. Ashton Genty's
getting all kinds of grief today because he carried the
ball three times for negative one yards in the Raiders
game last night.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Bust.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, all of that exactly clearly a bus Yeah, but
that doesn't tell me anything. I think Ashton Jenny's gonna
be fine. I've got to take on him in a second.
But it's it's I can't tell you what you're gonna
do when you're playing against people that are not going
to make the roster, and especially in these first two
preseason games, and those players that are seventy five to
(02:51):
ninety five on the depth chart and most of them
are going to be working someplace else next month. It's
it's not likely that I'm going to get that much
information about how good you are when you're playing against
inferior competition.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I mean, I don't know if I would agree with that,
because again, you you are still playing guys that are
professional football players.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, but they're probably gonna if they if their pro
career is going to continue. It's going to be in Canada,
the Arena League, or the US or the UFL. There's
there's twenty five guys on the Cowboys that whenever the
first cutdown day is, we'll never play football again.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Yeah, but okay, but look at it from the standpoint
of they don't make this team, but they go to
the to the UFL or the XFL, whichever it is,
and then lo and behold, we we wind there.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
The path for one or two guys to kind of get.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
We find out, we learn about and discover a Cavante Turpin,
a Brandon Aubrey. So it's guys that at least right now,
it's hey, you may not be able to have the
the the skills yet to be a professional NFL player,
but if you work on on it, go to the
other league's work on your craft a little bit, and
(04:03):
then you get more exposure because you are playing lesser
talent there. Then it's hey, we missed him when we
had him last training camp. Let's give him a run
this time and see what happened.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Well, And I can you can use an example for
Cincina McCormick with the Raiders. He was hurt the first
two years he was there. Then last year he played
a little bit at the end of the season. He
actually had a better game than gent last night he
had three carries for eleven yards, third lead. N I'm
guessing Pete Carroll's not playing on running the ball a
lot this year. So here's the deal. In Ashton genty,
(04:39):
he when he was at Boise State and he would
line up in the backfield, usually next to a shotgun quarterback,
he stood straight up.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
He didn't bend over.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Most running backs have like their hands on their knees,
kind of at a golfer stance, if you will, getting
ready to carry the ball. And chip Kelly insisted in
the OTAs this year, in the mandatory rookie camp camp,
that he get out of that straight up stance and
going into another stance. Well, now all the naysayers on
the Twitter worlds are saying, well, the reason thing You'll
(05:08):
had three carries and negative one yards is because chip
Kelly insists that he stands that gets in a running
back stance instead of standing up.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Now here's the thing I would tell if.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Chip Kelly can do what ever he wants, He's called
more plays and coach more running backs than I ever will.
But he can say, why don't we try this and
see if you're comfortable with it. But if fashion genty
isn't comfortable with it, you drafted him based on what
he's been able to do.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I'm not so sure that.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I don't know technically if the way you stand in
the backfield makes a difference in the world is how
you run. But I would think if you're comfortable doing
it that way, because you have since you were what
in seventh grade, that you might want to keep doing
it that way.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I mean, I do think it is a benefit to
you know, be more of it in a lean forward position,
because your momentum at that point is already you're going forward,
whereas if you're like straight up sprinter.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
In the in the blox, Yeah exactly, he wouldn't stand
up doing that exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
So it's just more of the of a momentum.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Wide receivers when they run pass patterns still get down
in a stands anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
They all stand up. No, they are still kind of
in a lean.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
A lean, a lean, but they're not but they're not
they're not leaned over like a running back. Very true,
but thens are usually on their hips or they're in
a you know, running motion already.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, but they are in a sprinter's formation of having
the legs apart to get that extra burst of speed,
whereas if they were legit like Ashton Jenny standing just
straight up, if your Sauce Gardner or Doern Bland, dude,
I'm coming up to gm you and smacking you, pancaking
you right now.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
All right.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
So here's something that Colin mentioned earlier in the week,
and I agree with Oh God, well, I do agree
with Colin a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I disagree with him some.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
He gives us perfect show fodder for this program because
he's on before we are. Yes, But okay, so there
was there was sound earlier this week with Joe Flacco
having a conversation with Shedeur Sanders, and Sanders asked Flacco
if he ever danced, did he ever go dancing, or
did he have any dance moves when he scored a touchdown,
(07:11):
and Flacco very very calmly looked at him like, what
are you talking about, dude. I don't think I've ever danced
in my life, and I don't ever celebrate touchdowns. I
congratulate the guy through it, too. And we go back
to the sideline, and there are a lot of times
when you see players on the sideline cutting up and
joking around. But Colin mentioned that if you look at
(07:32):
the star quarterbacks for the last fifty years, you don't
see them. You don't see them in a situation where
they're laughing and joking a lot. They're very serious, very
buttoned down, very matter of fact people. Tom Brady certainly
was that way. Look at the top quarterbacks. Now, you
don't see Josh Allen jumping up and down and smiling
a lot and laughing and cutting up jokes.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Oh, I don't know about that.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I mean, I think Josh Allen does that a lot,
but he's professional about it.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, but it's not about him.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, And you don't see and you know, you see
a more stoic, more of a toure guy. The analogy
that Colin brought up is if you're a twenty three
year old quarterback, you better be twenty three going on
forty three. And if you're a wide receiver, running back,
or a defensive guy, you can be twenty three going
on twenty four.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
That's fine.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
We don't expect the same level of seriousness with that
with other positions, as we do with quarterback, and I
think that's one of the things that Shadeur's got to
grow up and learn from his Colorado days. I go
back to the role ax situation, taking that watch with
him on the road and getting it stolen. Why'd you
take him on the road anyway? No one that mattered
what's going to see you wearing it? Only your teammates
(08:38):
and a few people in the hotel staff were ever
going to see that you had a rolex. It's not
like you were hanging out with your fans and signing autographs.
You were on a bus, you were on a plane,
you're in a hotel room. You want to wear the
role axe at the club in Boulder, Great, everybody can
see that you got it. But if you're taking it
with you on the road and leading it in your locker,
that's the way to get it stolen, and.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
That's the way to and there was no need for it.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
So it's little things like that that I think he
needs to make sure. And I see some signs that
he is trying to grow up a little bit.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I see some, but then you know, hearing things about like, hey,
when was the last time you wanted you were dancing
and things like that. I just bring up think about
it the last if you want to actually pinpoint it
the last. Like quarterback that was really enthusiastic about being
show voting as a quarterback, Johnny football Man. When he
(09:30):
was a Brown, he'd scored a touchdown, he'd do the
money symbol and it's he did.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
He did at A and M he did it. He
did it everywhere he went.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
After a while, those other players under his team were like, dude.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Can we just cool it.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Look at Baker Mayfield his rookie year. He was that way.
Now he's not.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yeah, Baker has grown up a lot. That's the difference.
Baker realizes the clock is ticking. I want to keep
doing this as long as I can. Exactly, Baker's like,
I don't want to piss off the fat the five
fat guys.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
In front of me by show all the time.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Yes, there's a time and place to pump up your guys,
But to act as if he's the sole reason that
they're winning football games, It's like, dude, look in the mirror.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Reality check.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
By the way, the last time that Joe Flacco actually
scored a touchdown rushing Touchdown Andy twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
So it's been a while. Yeah, yeah, he hasn't seen
the insight with his feet in a while. He has
sixteen total crew touch all right.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
There has been four instances in the last few days
in the WNBA of an object being thrown on the floor.
And we know now that there is a corporation behind this,
and I got a problem with this corporation.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
And I'll tell you what I would do next. It's
the Andy Everatte Show. On the tickets
So in the NFL things to get two.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
The Cowboys played their first preseason game tomorrow night in
Los Angeles. What are you expecting. I'm not expecting much,
