Teddy Bridgewater business decision you and I disagree on
whether or not he should have thrown his body in front of
Darius Slay I think the smartest thing for Teddy to do
is just keep your hand away from
the flame because if it's close enough you're going to be
expected to put your hand inside of it just just go stand
over there after a turnover no one horrible it was horrible
that you're protecting yourself so you can live to play another
day flip it
around garbage time Sunday AT & T Stadium Cowboys kicking
the crap out of the Falcons Dak Prescott who had a serious
ankle injury last year shoulder injury this year calf injury
this year decides to throw caution to the wind and run
into the end zone and drop his
shoulder and risk injury here is the play roles to the left
sees a falcon decides I'm going for it and puts his head down
and scores a touchdown the good news is he wasn't injured Chris
but this is an example of
avoidable and preventable and unnecessary contact and if you
do this enough times there is going to be a time where you
can't get up there is going to be a time where you're out two
to four weeks or maybe longer I see every time I see
that maneuver I think Jimmy Garoppolo on the sidelines in
Arrowhead Stadium the place where the Cowboys are going
this weekend when he drops his shoulder and tears ACL you just
you don't do that you don't Embrace unnecessary contact
because for every time that you get away
with it there's a a risk and I'll how small but let's not
find out that it's going to blow up in your face there's no
doubt about that you're not going to stop some of these
football players from you know making some football plays this
what
they've done their whole lives you know hopefully they can you
know kind of have that Governor that break can we talk about to
where they can be smart and situations Dak Prescott was
certainly made the tackle if he was in the situation Teddy
Bridgewater what might
have not been killing anybody but you made the tackle he was
going to let a free touchdown go by and just steam give up
for the rest of the fourth quarter because I got other
quarterback gave up so I'll give up like that that's what
happened I mean so that but yes there is a fine line and
I think more importantly like was I don't have a
problem with that play I don't other than that it's 36 at 3 at
the end of the third quarter like that's where I would just
go come on it's not worth it at this point it's not and you
know that tight end and listen as we
were sitting there in the viewing room on Sunday I think
a lot of us were sitting there go why is he even still in
the game and I understand they want to practice I mean play and get
out there and work on their craft do you want to stay in
game shape so you don't want to like well we're only going to
play three quarters this week I think
there's that aspect to you want to be able to continue to try
to like hell we going to execute for 4/4 cuz that's
where going to be expected to do on most weeks but yeah
that's the one where I think you'd rather see Dak Prescott
make
a wiser decision the game wasn't competitive and it has
been over for a long what time you make a great point there
though Kellen Moore the offensive coordinator should
not call a play the Yeah Yeah Yeahs that
right leg option in it just run the ball I would jump all done
one of the receivers do something like that to where
you're not going to ask your guy to get on the edge and all
week you told him like Hey we're going to get
you on the edge of a 12-2 and if you don't have that run it
in I mean that's probably what he was coach to do so that
that's where that's a little tough and I can understand you
know the Jones family and everybody getting a little
squeamish after that one and his here is Jerry Jones from
his weekly appearance Tuesday's on 105 3 The Fan in Dallas
talking about
his reaction to seeing Dak Prescott take that hit in
garbage time of the win over the Falcons
yeah I worry about it I do worry about it and you don't
look like to say picture shots and make sure every one of them
are going to account for the difference that's impossible to
have happened because the competitor of the competitor
that he is and
he's going to he's going to get the play finished as best he
possibly can Warren Buffett one time said the hardest thing
about accumulating wealth is to be there to spend it and that
mean could be a livelihood or it could be just for that would
but the point is we want to be there with Dak
home or actually we want Jack to be there for us we dated for
two million a year we want him to be able to play football not
play football and Jerry's been around long enough to know that
every one of those incremental dropping his shoulder and
throwing yourself into Defenders carries with it
the possibility that it's going to answer you and and and it's
a it's a shared responsibility it's not just Dak the coaching
staff needs to call plays in those moments get minimize
the opportunities for Dak Prescott to play football
because he's a football player you can expect the guy to turn
that off but you can't expect the coaches to to understand it
that maybe we shouldn't give him a play that has a run
option on the backend down near the goal line that's exactly
you like me a little bit smarter in that situation hey
Doc I mean hey it's a good thing where he's hid
the rarefied air that the stratosphere of like he's
big-time I mean there's no doubt Dak Prescott's one of
the 10 best quarterbacks in football I
mean maybe the top five I got to let you know he's certainly
dancing around that top 67 area I don't think it has like The
Sims list needs to be up there I know I didn't feed them
a little does he wants me to do that
soon so I might do that but he's in that area he's
officially hit the area I think we both agree to where you go
you know you got to you got to think a little differently you
got to be a little bit Peyton Manning Tom Brady
a should just go wait you know I want to do this I want to
show my team out you want to win but in this situation right
here is it worth it you know I'm part of a bigger piece here
were a lot of people are
depending on me know that's the thing and the Cowboys can win
the Superbowl this year they can you know that the weather
at offenses it's it's it's elite there's not a week part
week part about it and also the only game they played bad
the whole
year was Boondock yeah I went two weeks without practicing
and came back it was Rusty and Miss complacent throws other
than that they've been a well-oiled machine all year
long so that's where you got to be careful I wanted to be
careful cuz you know I like them I want to make sure we can
sit on a bed and do an interview like we did back in
the day at the combine and I want to see him being
successful he's an easy guy to root for for
sure at least he won't be able to give you the size I die
anymore now I'm going to give him the side I got the money
give me some money dealer let's go dinner and you your bag like
for sure but they hadn't had that inexplicable
game against the Broncos they would be regarded as the best
team in the NFL right yeah yeah he be the only one loss team
right and you're going to have those in a 17 Game season it's
not going to be perfect every single week that's going
to happen but you take that game away and you could argue
the best team in the conference if not the best team in
the league where to talk about the power rankings coming up later
in the program the Titans have kind of gotten the number one
by default
but I'd probably take the Cowboys beat the Titans if they
were playing on Sunday so maybe the Cowboys should have been
number one I don't know we'll talk about that later in
the program
