Score Predictions (00:34:02)
Predictions for the upcoming game against the Giants, s
Intro 00:00:00 I come. Here we go. Yeah. Come. Here we go. Yeah. Come on. Here we go. Yeah. Yeah. Cooper blue and I.
Prescott 00:00:10 Fought through a lot. Do not like us. How you're walking with a lion. Got me feeling like Michael. I've been on the way. The team on my bad. Like a biker. Shawty wanna be with a star. But you lucky if I invite you. We can take it to the next spot. The yellin like Dred Scott. Everybody like there ain't no breaks, no rest stop. We tryna get your head chopped.
Intro 00:00:26 The whole club yelling everybody. Everybody. Everybody. Everybody. Everybody. Everybody.
Prescott 00:00:35 Here we go. Here we go, Eddie. I did my best Eeyore voice. I wish I had some sad violins playing in the background. You still sad or we. Are we okay now?
Eddie 00:00:49 I think we have. Reality is sitting kind of on the season, right?
Prescott 00:00:56 Yeah. I actually wasn't sad after this game.
Prescott 00:00:59 I was saddened after the Saints game because I thought we would win that when we did our thing. I think I had us down losing this game. Let me did our our prediction before the season started when I had us losing this game. So I'm not as sad. I'm just sad that man we really could have won. Like had they made that stop to make them punt, that would have been, you know, a really good last drive. Yeah. Then and the way they were moving, we were doing pretty good.
Eddie 00:01:25 I think that there was a point in the game last year. It wasn't the Cardinals game. It was like, I think it was the game after where I don't know if someone just. Mike McCarthy just threw the playbook up in the air and just said, you know what? We're for the run. We're just going to throw the ball. I think we're at that point right now that we saw what just throwing the ball can do for this offense, and we started moving it.
Eddie 00:01:52 And people want to start saying, you know what, if I hear garbage time one more time, what, what what do you do when you're losing? You try to come back right every single night and all it is, every single. It doesn't matter if you're six points down, if you're one point down or 99 points down, you're still trying to score.
Prescott 00:02:09 You still trying to win. And it wasn't like we didn't need those points. Now I understand if it's 40 to 0 five minutes into the fourth quarter and we're trying to throw bombs, to me that's garbage time stats, that's garbage. It's the third quarter and we're trying to score points. We have plenty of time to come back. We actually had plenty of time. Say say Diggs forced and incompletion. He would have had close to two minutes to try and get a field goal to tie it up. I've seen them scoring less than a minute. So how is that go up anyway? But that's how dumb people are. They just they just have to say stuff.
Eddie 00:02:42 They just want to be on the AP. They just want to be unhappy. But I think we all think of a reason to to justify why we're upset. And the people that hate Dak right away, they're like, oh look at that. We just paid for this blah blah blah. The people that hate Zeke, they're like, oh, I thought all you guys loved with Zeke, Zeke, Zeke. He's not the answer. Everybody just justifies it without.
Prescott 00:03:04 And it's like without.
Eddie 00:03:06 Taking a step back and really looking at it from a different perspective. It's just it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for you just to right away give it your opinion on what on how you feel about it internally.
Prescott 00:03:19 We strategically record this on Tuesday night for a reason so we can let all the because I'm not going to be talking rationally on Sunday night after we just lost be fire everybody build around Aubrey. Cut. Dak cut. Lamb cut Micah just just build just have nothing but kickers and just. And we can win.
Prescott 00:03:41 That's my thought process. Be on Sunday night after we do so by Tuesday after I didn't rewatch the game a couple times seeing what's going on. See the real reason why we lost in this case, I'd say the real, you know, before we get to that, let's see. Any Cowboys news? You got any Cowboys news? Any injuries? He came back. Did he say anything aggravating?
Eddie 00:04:02 I don't think I heard that. He he felt good throughout the game and I didn't see anything on any reactivation or anything. So that's good. Great.
Prescott 00:04:11 Good I know because I left them on my bench and I had hunt and I started Hunter Henry and Hunter Henry got me two points and Ferg had like 15. So that's how I knew he had a good game.
Eddie 00:04:21 We don't really want to talk about this this week in fantasy, do we? Do we? Prescott?
Prescott 00:04:28 I don't even play fantasy. What are you talking about? I don't even have a team.
Eddie 00:04:31 We played this week, and it was.
Eddie 00:04:33 It was a bad beating. It was. It was bad.
Prescott 00:04:36 It was a bloodbath.
Eddie 00:04:37 It was a dismantling. It was. It was a beautiful. It was beautiful violence. That's what it was.
Prescott 00:04:44 I was playing like I had the real Cowboys defense.
Eddie 00:04:49 That was tough stuff.
Prescott 00:04:51 And. And Eddie was playing like he had the Ravens offensive line slash running backs. And they they bent me over man. It was it was it was disgusting.
Eddie 00:05:02 Yeah it was tough. But you're going to get those weeks I thought we were.
Prescott 00:05:04 Boys man I thought we were boys. I tried to.
Eddie 00:05:07 Pull back a little bit. I tried to tell them to chill out. Relax.
Prescott 00:05:09 You could have been. You could have benched a few players.
Eddie 00:05:14 Over the thought.
Prescott 00:05:14 I wouldn't have thought last. I wouldn't have thought less of you. This. All right. So let's let's let's let's.
Eddie 00:05:20 Get into this game just for a minute.
Prescott 00:05:22 Who suck. Who stock. Stock up. Stock down. Whose stock is up.
Eddie 00:05:29 You know you know I'll be I'll be. Stock is always up. I don't think it's coming down. So I don't want to say a stock is up. one guy did watch Cooper. Bibby didn't have a bad game out of all the offensive linemen. You know, Cooper, Bibby kind of held his own. The other guys who.
Prescott 00:05:49 Oh my gosh.
Eddie 00:05:50 But, I I'm maybe Maybe Tolbert. Tolbert had a good. Gilbert had a pretty good fourth quarter.
Prescott 00:05:56 He had a pretty good game.
Eddie 00:05:58 So stock.
Prescott 00:05:59 Up. I saw a few plays. They broke down where as soon as the ball was snapped. Three people were running after that. It's like the offensive line wasn't even there. Like they barely put in and it was so bad. Even Zac Martin was getting like, they must have just given up. I don't, I don't I don't even know how to explain it.
Eddie 00:06:17 They're they're replaying the game right now as this week. Right. So the last play that I saw before we, we jumped on here was the the sack of Dak where we're.
Prescott 00:06:27 In the end zone.
Eddie 00:06:28 No no no no no it was he got sacked. And then they tried to help him up and he slapped their hand away.
Prescott 00:06:33 Man don't even tell you like man.
Eddie 00:06:35 He's like.
Prescott 00:06:35 No no.
Eddie 00:06:36 Because because it looked like like the.
Prescott 00:06:40 The.
Eddie 00:06:41 I don't know if they stunt it. And then he pushed him into Zach. He pushed him into the sack. when he. And I don't even think Dak saw that when he sees the replay, He's going to. He's so.
Prescott 00:06:52 Bad.
Eddie 00:06:53 He's going to like to go up to go give him a high five and be off man. You know.
Prescott 00:06:57 It's like they were blocking for a screen. And Dak was the only one who didn't know there was a screen. Like he was running a deep pass. So the offensive line was like okay Aaron let everybody go. And everybody just converged on Dak. And it's like oh shoot. Well we're supposed have been a regular pass play the longest yard.
Eddie 00:07:14 Like when when they got down there and they're like sack on two points.
Eddie 00:07:19 Yeah yeah that's exactly what it was like.
Prescott 00:07:22 But and it was so bad I got to keep from crying. But then it's like they then it was just like the longest yard after that. It's like he made that speech. Yeah. Shaved those points. Y'all help me win. And they're like, okay, we'll help you win. And then they just figure it out. But by the third and fourth quarter, they started playing for real. And then the defense woke up. But our run defense is atrocious. If you have the Giants running back I say start him this week I start every running back playing against the Cowboys until they stop one because they have not been able to stop anyone.
Eddie 00:07:54 It's a good thing that it's just Singleton this weekend. No it's not.
Prescott 00:07:57 Yeah, Thursday. There's no super superstar back, but we've been known to make regular players in the superstars, so he's.
Eddie 00:08:04 Not going to have a camera game believe me. Don't don't worry.
Prescott 00:08:07 Better not. He better not.
Eddie 00:08:09 These are the notes that that I made just right after the game.
Eddie 00:08:16 Right. Because I just try to write down a few notes so that I can remember to talk about them. And this is what I wrote verbatim. First one was what was that with question mark? Then I said, offense looks anemic. It really does. Like, it does. The first three games of last year. It looks like.
Prescott 00:08:35 Emotion.
Eddie 00:08:36 They're calling Dak. They're calling them Checkdown Dak. But it's not. It's the offense. There's no routes going.
Prescott 00:08:41 100% is 100% is
Eddie 00:08:44 The defense can't stop a sneeze right now at all. I mean it literally and I don't care if it's a power. I don't care if it's a counter. I don't care if they're running a screen. Whatever. Stop it. No matter what it is. we need to. There's a we got to put an APB out on our missing running game. They literally got lost. Oh, my.
Prescott 00:09:01 Gosh.
Eddie 00:09:02 Somewhere I did. We got we all got lied to about this. we're we're fine. we like our guys.
Eddie 00:09:07 Yes, we really did get lied to you. And then, just few more. I got a guy and looked like a rookie. This was his first rookie game.
Prescott 00:09:15 Big time. He did. He did it.
Eddie 00:09:17 And so did Carson. Carson looked like a big time rookie. Carson. Carson look like Anthony Brown resurrected.
Prescott 00:09:24 Oh my gosh.
Eddie 00:09:25 And then, the I really like the the fight at the end. The fight was really what got me back like, oh, okay. We're not dead in the water here. This is early in the season. If we were going to get our asses kicked like this, this is good time to do it. It's a good time to. So we didn't just waste eight games and say, oh, wow, we really do suck. Now we know that we suddenly need to fix some shit.
Prescott 00:09:49 We can do some stuff. So? So. Excellent, excellent. Excellent. Synopsis. Excellence of notice. Because all that is 100% correct. Like I stay good.
Prescott 00:10:01 The only person I know that plays hard all the time that I see is DeMarcus Lawrence. I wish that we could insert whatever's inside of him into everybody. Then we would be the best team. It's like, but you can't teach that. It's like, you gotta have it. Like, you know, we see lamb pouting because he doesn't get. I'm like, come on man, you just got paid millions of dollars. You're gonna make a mistake.
Eddie 00:10:25 Like you're gonna make you're gonna make drops. I don't you're gonna fumble the fucking play football.
Prescott 00:10:29 Exactly. I never play football. I only play basketball. And in basketball, I was always the shooter. Think along the lines of Klay Thompson. somebody like that. I was a shooter. But some days, no matter how great of a shooter you are, you're going to be off. You're going to be off. But there are other things you can do. You can set screens, you can rebound. You can decide. You know what? My shot's not on.
Prescott 00:10:54 I'm gonna play defense. I'm a hustle as a shooter, though.
Eddie 00:10:56 What is your.
Prescott 00:10:57 That's what I'm.
Eddie 00:10:58 As a shooter. Yeah. You're right. But but as a shooter, we'll go into the basketball. As a coach. What do you tell your shooter when he's off? What do you tell him honestly?
Prescott 00:11:06 You know, you know. You know. What do you say? Coach used to say my coach used to say, hey, keep shooting the ball. Shoot until you miss. And if you're missing, shoot until you make it. Yeah. So basically shoot like. Yeah. So you keep playing, you don't stop because something's going wrong or you're not you off or you're having a bad day. You don't stop. You still got to play. How things are not.
Eddie 00:11:26 Going to help you get fighting with people aren't going to help you arguing with your quarterback. It's only going to get you the body.
Prescott 00:11:31 Man, the body, the body language. Police were out. They were like, yeah, you're getting arrested.
Prescott 00:11:35 CeeDee lamb.
Eddie 00:11:36 He's getting the AJ Brown fucking, award for the year for pouting on the sideline and arguing with Dak and yelling, I mean. you just got to take a deep breath, play the next play. And there's always, you know, it's
Prescott 00:11:53 And they've played before. He knows Dak is gonna find him. They've had four seasons of Dak finding lamb on a regular basis. So it's not like man it's a new quarterback or he's freezing me out. Dak is going to find him. So what's the point of of pouting when you know it's going to happen. Because you've seen it happen a bunch of times. So it doesn't make any sense to me.
Eddie 00:12:13 People aren't really I mean we haven't brought this up. I haven't seen it. But this is really only seeds. what sixth hour of playing football this year?
Prescott 00:12:23 Yeah, exactly. He was out for the whole camp, so. Yeah, I mean.
Eddie 00:12:25 He held out the whole time backing him. We're throwing it at his astroturf at home, but it's not the same.
Prescott 00:12:30 It doesn't. That doesn't count. It's not the same when you're playing against somebody that that does not count.
Eddie 00:12:36 We I think the holdout really did kind of make a big difference. But I think I think this game here will be our get back game. Where it.
Prescott 00:12:46 Better be.
Eddie 00:12:46 It can't be. it can't be. Our, We're going to win. So let's look at at next week. Kind of. We have to understand this is a division game. We can't lose the Giants. It's in.
Prescott 00:13:01 We cannot lose to the Giants. It's in Johnston I don't know if we'll lose to the Giants man I'm turning this into a relationship goals podcast. We're going to start talking about dating books. We've read stuff like that I'm gonna give up there. I'm gonna give up until Jerry Jones quits.
Eddie 00:13:23 Well, it'll be all right. It'll be all right. But we had some good things that came out of the game, though, too, and we have some good things on the horizon. It's the beginning of a.
Prescott 00:13:32 65 yard field goal. you know, but you know what? How how much blame would you say Mike McCarthy got in this game.
Eddie 00:13:40 From the fans and media? Who what are you talking about?
Prescott 00:13:43 No no, no. From you like how? What percentage would you say Mike McCarthy is at blame for this loss?
Eddie 00:13:49 I think it is. I think the.
Prescott 00:13:51 Way the season's been going, I think you need to.
Eddie 00:13:52 Take a big, a big, portion of it on his shoulders as the not only the head coach, but the offensive coordinator and calling the plays, I think.
Prescott 00:14:02 Exactly.
Eddie 00:14:03 We need to turn the page. We need to and realize this because I think we saw it a couple times and a couple different tweets where we saw that the 49 ers, what happened in the 49 ers was they lost a running back and they lost their receiver right. Next man up came up. They didn't just run the same offense that they had with Christian McCaffrey. And take it to the person.
Eddie 00:14:25 Yes they changed it up. They got to change it up a little bit. So it's just not working. Stop running the same shit I'm sorry.
Prescott 00:14:34 I'm sorry to That's true. Hey. That's true. I was listening to the BBS podcast. Bill Simmons cousin Sal, and he had a great idea. He said that you should be able, like in a game, say, CeeDee lamb. It's terrible. Just terrible. They might bench him for a quarter, two quarters. You should be able to bench a coach in the middle of a game knowing he's coming back. So like Mike McCarthy's not cutting it. You know what put, the tight ends coach in there to call a few plays or to or shot and Schottenheimer to call a few plays and then let them come back next game strong or come back in the fourth quarter. Maybe they should be able to bench coaches like we bench.
Eddie 00:15:11 Players, I think. I mean, coaches have taken, like responsibilities away from the coordinators and stuff. That happens all the time.
Eddie 00:15:18 So I mean, literally, I think that we we needed to do what happened last year and we just need to unleash and say, you know, this is what we're strong at. We we can block these defensive players for a couple seconds and get back, get the ball off, you guys get fucking open. Get in your fucking roots right away. And the ball's coming. That's that's what we need to do.
Prescott 00:15:43 But but now teams are just going to be like, we don't have to stack the box because they can't run it can't box.
Eddie 00:15:51 They can't stack the box last year for us either.
Prescott 00:15:53 And so I'm like, oh man, that's what I mean. Think about it. I mean it's it's not time to wave the red flag yet. We still have plenty of time. We still have plenty of time to win ten games to make the playoffs. So it's not. And but I don't I don't have a tough stretch coming up.
Eddie 00:16:09 I don't think we need to win ten games to to to play in the playoffs either.
Eddie 00:16:13 I think like with.
Prescott 00:16:14 Yeah, because almost everyone sucks this year. No one is just dominant. Nobody. Minnesota maybe.
Eddie 00:16:19 But but think about it I mean Minnesota I know Minnesota is one injury away from oh my god what are you guys doing out there.
Prescott 00:16:26 Sam. Sam Darnold like oh my god I don't know where he came from.
Eddie 00:16:30 But he can he this is USC Sam Darnold. This is what it is.
Prescott 00:16:36 And so I'm good I'm I'm good compared to the rest of the league. I think we can bounce back. We have to. At least we have the personnel to do it. Like we're not struggling with, Bryce Young, where, man, all we got is Bryce Young just hanging up.
Eddie 00:16:49 Oh, my God, the red rocket over there. Just all of a sudden, he's trying to tell them this is how you play football. Yeah.
Prescott 00:16:55 And Dak and Dak leads the league in yards right now. And it's not an empty stat. Leading the league is actually he's been doing pretty good.
Prescott 00:17:03 You know he had a terrible first game.
Eddie 00:17:05 You know what you know what I've been noticing a lot though. What's crazy is that Dak is going off his back foot a lot. I don't know if you.
Prescott 00:17:12 Because he's scared he's nervous. He's sitting up protecting him.
Eddie 00:17:15 But that that throw off his back foot is you're not able to get anything on it. That's how that got that ball got picked at the end of the game when he's trying to hit cooks. But did he get picked or was it knocked down.
Prescott 00:17:27 No no no no that was the last game. He didn't have any interceptions this against the Ravens.
Prescott 00:17:31 Also.
Prescott 00:17:32 He had two interceptions. One was knocked. It was when he fell.
Eddie 00:17:35 Down I think it was knocked down because he was.
Prescott 00:17:37 Trying to hit. Yeah, it wasn't intercepted.
Eddie 00:17:39 He was doing that.
Prescott 00:17:40 Same thing where it wasn't where.
Eddie 00:17:41 Cooks was taking deep. And then he tried to throw off his back foot and he just didn't. He doesn't have anything on it.
Eddie 00:17:46 That's the only thing I. Yeah we need to get a little bit better blocking. We I'm sorry, but he.
Prescott 00:17:52 Doesn't have because that doesn't have elite arm strength. He needs to step into his throws. He's not like an Aaron Rodgers on Mahomes. Where or Richardson who can just throw off his back foot and heave at 60 yards that can't do that.
Eddie 00:18:03 And he's getting into something. He's getting a little older now to where where people are getting mad that he's not taken off running. I mean, it's not I don't think he he really has that too much anymore. But he, he has he's an elite. He's an elite decision maker. That's that's what we have behind under center. And we just need to be able to give him a couple seconds to be able to make that decision. And those receivers need to be running routes instead of five yards and out. Turn around Kellen Moore bullshit. Yeah.
Prescott 00:18:34 All right. So let's let's see if we can dig deep and find us.
Hammer Drop 00:18:38 Somebody stand tough and carry a big, big hammer.
Prescott 00:18:43 Who's your hammer of the week?
Eddie 00:18:47 Oh, man. Hammer of the week. shoot. You go first, because I got a couple that I'm still trying to pull from here.
Prescott 00:18:58 I don't like anybody on this team right now. The only person like. Like I've been crying for. There's only one person that said, cut everyone and let's build around Aubrey. Just start with Aubrey and cut everyone. And he's my hammer of the week. 60. Was it 64 yards or 65 yards? I think it was 65. Yeah. Made it look easy. That was nice. He should have had the record. He should be in the record books right now. Mike McCarthy again. We should have benched him after he cost us the the the field goal record. So it should.
Eddie 00:19:29 Have been Mike McCarthy. That's what you're saying.
Prescott 00:19:32 Come on. We should have benched him at the cost of the field goal. So Aubrey is my hammer of the week. Whoo hoo!
Eddie 00:19:38 I'm going to I'm going to give it to a combination of a couple of different guys.
Eddie 00:19:43 I think, Tolbert had a good game, and I think Turpin had a good game at receiver. I think he kind of. I think Turpin kind of came out a little bit like he's like, give me the ball a little bit.
Prescott 00:19:53 So that's a legit receiver. Yeah. Instead of a gadget person. Yeah. Yeah.
Eddie 00:19:57 So I think I'm going to give it to those guys even though that's you know that's kind of a giveaway. But I'll tell you who I can tell you who I think the nails are was.
Nailed It Drop 00:20:12 It I nailed it. Nailed it.
Eddie 00:20:18 Let's give it to the whole.
Prescott 00:20:19 Nail of the week.
Eddie 00:20:20 Let's give it to the whole defense. Let's give it to just every single, every single person that was.
Prescott 00:20:25 On the defense.
Eddie 00:20:26 Not one person played up to where they needed to play, even DeMarcus Lawrence was taking plays off.
Prescott 00:20:35 Plays hard. But he wasn't. He wasn't up to snuff. You know what I'm going to look at these stats. You keep talking. No no no.
Eddie 00:20:43 No. It's the the the defense I think was. I mean people have described it as lackluster. It was embarrassing. It was a it was it looked like players were had given up already. But it's a it's the third game. I don't think anybody gave up just yet. I just think that we we need to. We need to have a come to to Jesus meeting with the defensive line. First off.
Prescott 00:21:19 Yeah. Not a single sack and not a single tackle for loss. No one one quarterback hit, one quarterback hit. No sacks. No tackle for loss. That is so bad. That is so bad. Considering what we have on defense.
Eddie 00:21:38 It's a we gotta put it into perspective though, because it is not he's not a drop back passer. So he wasn't in the pocket at all. So we knew that we weren't going to get any real pressure on him. You have to do you have to do like what the bills do when they pressure him. And that's like when they they just come at him at from all angles, not pass rushing where we're pass rushing through like lanes because he just laughs at them.
Eddie 00:22:04 You know that those those options were where he even the one that he turned around and nobody was there and he didn't even know what to do. It was a broken play.
Prescott 00:22:11 Yeah. He's still he's.
Eddie 00:22:12 Still picked up 11 yards because nobody was there.
Prescott 00:22:14 Why are they why are they acting like they're acting like when Kaepernick first started doing this in the league and nobody knew what to do, this is those RPOs have been a staple of their offense for years. They've called that play for years. So it's not like this is something brand new we had to like. We were just seeing this for the first time, like it was a brand new fad. Like when, the, the, the, the Dolphins running back started doing the Wildcat when a quarterback got hurt like, oh my God, Williams and Ronnie whatever. When they came from Auburn and they start doing it, we were like, what in the world is this in the NFL? We had never seen it in the NFL. So it worked for like half a season.
Prescott 00:22:52 And then things caught on. Kaepernick and RG three started doing RPOs at work, then it caught on, but then it started coming back Sunday. We acted like we just saw the RPO for the first time, like it was a brand new invention. And we were just flummoxed and I could not understand it.
Eddie 00:23:07 We looked like we were like armies defense from playing, playing against Alabama. It was like it just is so outmatched. We looked like we were slower than it was just weird.
Prescott 00:23:20 But so oh my god.
Eddie 00:23:22 To tie into that, I know that we we try to find some good quotes throughout the week about, you know, either what players, coaches, media says about the game. And but I found I found a couple of different quotes. But this one really ties into what I just said, and it came from Micah. And I know a lot of people have a lot of have a problem with Micah right now in his his.
Prescott 00:23:42 Podcast.
Eddie 00:23:43 Him taking an hour out of his out of his life to to do a podcast.
Prescott 00:23:48 Do your thing. Micah. Micah.
Eddie 00:23:50 Why aren't you doing jumping jacks and pull ups in an hour? For that hour, you can come.
Prescott 00:23:54 On our podcast and do it too. You could do you got a friend in us.
Eddie 00:23:57 But this is what he said. He said, I feel like as a competitor, at some point you got to be prideful enough to say, I'm not going to allow this to happen to me. Think of that. I'm not going to allow this to happen to me. I just feel like some people are just allowing them to keep getting smacked in the face.
Prescott 00:24:16 They are.
Eddie 00:24:17 Like. Like, when are you going to stand up? And he I don't know if he's talking to some people or some teammates. He could be talking to everybody. But he's saying, I'm tired of getting smacked in the face and turning around and seeing everybody else smacked in the face and everybody just getting up like, oh well, next play. You know what I mean? I just, I'm I'm sick and tired of it.
Eddie 00:24:38 He's sick and tired of it. And I think this is some of the leadership coming out of him where he, you know, sometimes you can't just sugarcoat it and say, oh, you know what? That was a tough game. We're going to get him next week.
Prescott 00:24:50 Yeah. This is let me let me play something that I, I really liked that this reminds me.
Eddie 00:25:01 While we're waiting, I just want to give a shout out to my buddy, my buddy son, Tripp Everett. Remember, we had talked in play. Hey, remember? Remember we talked about, his son before, last year when he was playing Pop Warner? Oh, yeah.
Prescott 00:25:15 Yeah.
Eddie 00:25:15 Hey, this year, I think they're, I think they're three and. Oh, no, he sent me a couple of videos. And this year, man, he is balling. He is lighting it up. Yeah. So shout out Tripp you had a good game this weekend I saw some highlights. Keep doing it, buddy.
Eddie 00:25:28 Keep doing. I can't wait to see it. You in high school?
Prescott 00:25:31 Because we, Because we we we build them up. If if it wasn't for us, then, he wouldn't have done so. Well, we gave him the, the and the juice to go out there and do it.
Eddie 00:25:43 Oh, man. Yeah. He's he's got he's got his dad. These guys daddy's genes in him. His daddy was a good football player too.
Prescott 00:25:51 good job by him. Good job by him I appreciate it. So what.
Eddie 00:25:55 Was it? Tell us all about it.
Prescott 00:25:57 Nah, it was the Beast mode clip where he just said, when you go through somebody's face over and over and over and.
Eddie 00:26:04 Over.
Prescott 00:26:04 And over and over, that's just what they've been doing us. But they won't let me share it. Man, I'm so mad.
Eddie 00:26:10 It's all right. We got it. We got it. We all,
Prescott 00:26:13 That's the one.
Eddie 00:26:14 I think we also we all saw it last this last weekend.
Eddie 00:26:17 It was just a dismantling. It's a bad, bad over.
Prescott 00:26:21 Man. Especially when. When? Carson was trying to tackle, Henry.
Eddie 00:26:31 And he'd just say, get off me, bitch. I was like, you know what? You should. You know, we should have found out. We should have found that that one from, from Half Baked when he's like, get off me, bitch. That's exactly what it was like. He just pushed him off and like, he was like his little cousin, like, get off me!
Prescott 00:26:47 So. So my quote of the week I like was when, that was walking down the, the the the hallway. He's like, jump off if you want. Please, please jump off. And I'm like, we don't need any fairweather fans. We don't want.
Eddie 00:27:02 People to be in.
Prescott 00:27:03 Crybabies. Now at home, man is getting near the end of the season. We about to go into the playoffs. They start. Oh shoot. Let me go find that my jersey in the no.
Eddie 00:27:12 No no no what they're going to be doing Dak. Dak throw me your towel. Throw me your throw me your gloves. Tell me something because I love you. No fuck you. That's what he should have. He should throw towels out to the fans that says fuck you say that. Say yeah. Say that's what it should just say. Fuck you on it. It should say go tell my brother Tad about this. That's what it should say. So.
Prescott 00:27:34 So let's talk about some up. Some up.
Eddie 00:27:37 Yeah, I, I do have one. I do have one other quote that I, that I wanted to, to share. And this is, this is from KD. when he was talking, he said, honestly, I got to be truthful to myself. I played a part in that. Lost a big part, honestly, and nor didn't. And nor did my body language nor attitude approaching the situation help the situation or the outcome of the game. So what that tells me is he he understands, you know, a big a big part of my job is reflecting on what what I just did, you know, in sales.
Eddie 00:28:15 And I think that's a big that's a big jump and a big show of, of maturity in somebody when they can reflect on something and say, this is something that I did bad and I am, and I'm not going to do it again.
Prescott 00:28:32 Yeah. Because, I'd like to that he did it because it was all on him. Like especially like on a fumble. Perfect ball placed it, just got punched out and he lost it in the inside the ten yard line going into score. They were moving the ball and they were going into score. It would have been 14 to 10 at that point. And they scored a touchdown. Well and he messed it up. So the pound after you messed up to me you know that screams you know a childish behavior. But we all do it. We all throw tantrums. We all do it. So it's like what you do after that is what makes you a man. And I think he did the right thing. Like, yeah, well, he showed up and he's like, you know what? That was on me.
Prescott 00:29:11 As opposed to somebody who was still giving excuses like, well, I just want to get everybody fired up. I just want the ball. And I'm like, nah, forget that. Yeah, I got time for those excuses. You messed up. Own it and move on. So I'll give him kudos for that.
Eddie 00:29:28 I think the but the whole point of this week, and when we all we cut it all down is you played like shit. We know this. Fix it and protect Dak please.
Prescott 00:29:42 Oh my god. Just protect him. Diet Sunday was that they should file charges on the whole offensive line.
Eddie 00:29:49 You don't want your quarterback refusing your help up. That's that's got to be the worst feeling in the world. You know what I mean? Yeah. It's like. It's like he's refusing to help up. It's just. But it's not. We're not going to dwell on it. Game's over. Let's bury this tape. Game over. Week. Week. weeks over week four.
Prescott 00:30:09 So what we got to do to win against the Giants besides just show up?
Eddie 00:30:14 I think we just need to throw the ball.
Eddie 00:30:16 I think we need to turn the page. Mike McCarthy. I mean, I saw a bunch of, memes with him now. Now they're introducing him holding the Denny's menu instead of, Yeah. Is it a bowl? What's his name? over in Kansas City. But,
Prescott 00:30:35 Yeah, yeah. Andy Reid. Yeah.
Eddie 00:30:38 But he just needs to realize what we have and stop trying to push, what, the narrative and just take what's being given to us and turn it around. Do what? Yeah. It's, I think this is a perfect opportunity for our our whole team to turn it around and and start making them run. Like I said, when the game ended last this this last Sunday, I said, game's over. Let's start a win streak. That's all you can do, right? You can't go back. You can only move forward.
Prescott 00:31:14 We're good. We got this, man. We got this.
Eddie 00:31:17 Stop the running game. Stop! Stop there! You can.
Prescott 00:31:20 Stop.
Eddie 00:31:21 Stop the rookie receiver.
Prescott 00:31:23 Yeah. So my thing is, if we can stop Singletary from running, we're good. If we can blanket neighbors were good. Their defense isn't stout to where they can, you know, just shut us down. But if we just let them run all over us, then we don't have a shot. Like. I mean, it's like like like Micah said, you just gotta. It's a point where you just be like, you know what? My personal pride is on the line now to get the money. Forget I'm a good player. Like, right now. They're just using us, man. They're like laying us over their knee and they're spanking us with a paddle. And at one point, this guy Stan, I'd be like, enough. Even if you like, I can take losing. I just can't take losing in that fashion when you're better than somebody. Oh, they're better than that.
Eddie 00:32:08 If we were, if we would have laid down in the third quarter and lost that game 40 to 16 and oh, man, I would have been like, you know what? This this team doesn't have fight.
Eddie 00:32:18 You know, it's pretty much over. But they have fight. They needed it. You know, when you ask what we should do to win this game, there's I think there's three things we need to do. We need to stop Singletary. We need to make sure that we're we're keeping the safety on top of neighbors because our corners aren't gonna he's going to get open, right? He's going to get open. He's good. But we needed safety on top of him. And then we need to stop Danny Dimes running. And it's underrated. And he showed that last week. He showed that the week before last. He runs a lot and he's fucking good at it. Although we don't we don't like to say it. We don't like to say it. We don't like to say it. But he's fucking him to pass.
Prescott 00:32:56 But he can't run.
Eddie 00:32:57 Exactly. We need him to run into.
Prescott 00:32:59 One thing I say we need is, our offensive line needs to stop their defensive line. Give Dak some time.
Prescott 00:33:06 Once he has time in the third, fourth quarter, he had time. He started doing some things in the first and second quarter when he had zero time they were killing him. And the stats were terrible you time and he can make it happen.
Eddie 00:33:18 We need to have a couple Duke Mayor Mayweather Merriweather sessions this week.
Prescott 00:33:23 Yeah. Like come on man.
Eddie 00:33:25 Because we're going to watch.
Prescott 00:33:26 We're going to.
Eddie 00:33:27 We should have a mike McCarthy countdown because we did talk about it before. Because we did talk about it before the season. We said there was a pocket.
Prescott 00:33:38 How many games?
Eddie 00:33:39 There was a pocket. That said, I think it was right around right before Thanksgiving where we were like, we just need to make a change.
Prescott 00:33:47 Yeah, that was me doing our predictions, but, well, I think we can win this game. I think we should win this game. I'm glad it's a Thursday.
Eddie 00:33:55 Yeah. I'm excited.
Prescott 00:33:56 there is a night game, but if I had to give a score prediction, I would say we're looking at,
Eddie 00:34:02 It's in New York.
Eddie 00:34:03 It's in New York. It's in New York. Under the lights to remember that.
Prescott 00:34:07 3117 that's my prediction.
Eddie 00:34:09 3117 all right. I'm going to say 21. I'm going to say 2420. We'll say 2420.
Prescott 00:34:18 Okay. Expecting a close game. Expecting a close game.
Eddie 00:34:20 Okay. Closer one. But I think I think Aubrey's going to he's going to hit another long one.
Prescott 00:34:27 Yes. That's all. That's that's all it's good for. I wish he knew how to. Well it's not always good.
Eddie 00:34:31 Take that back. Take that out of your ugly whore mouth. Say you're sorry to Aubrey.
Prescott 00:34:38 Take it back. I take it back, Autobot. I take it back. Hey, you've been my hammer. You've been my hammer of the week. Three weeks in a row.
Eddie 00:34:45 Aubrey, this guy's your biggest fan in the discord two. Believe me, believe me. Trust, trust.
Prescott 00:34:49 I'm the president and the CEO of the Autobot.
Eddie 00:34:53 Aubrey was so mad when he wasn't able to kick that 71.
Eddie 00:34:57 I remember that he's going to get it this week. He's going to get it this year. Believe me, you're going to get it this year.
Prescott 00:35:02 I was ready to punch the first baby I saw when I was like.
Eddie 00:35:05 No.
Prescott 00:35:05 Let's go. Anyway, so that's all we got. What'd you guys say to people? Eddie, let's go and reflect. Meditation after this.
Eddie 00:35:15 Your meditation. do you know? You know what it is, baby? It's always DC for life. 100%. Always. No matter what it is. But it's always, make sure that you're not going to bed angry. Kiss your kids goodnight. And we love you.
Prescott 00:35:32 That's how it is. So remember Dallas Cowboys victory coming this Thursday. We'll be back next Tuesday. So y'all take it easy. And
