00:00Me personally, I just

00:02You've got you've got I'm not asking you to get rid of Vaughn or Dattel

00:08You know or a hundred lip-gearing those guys

00:12Ezekiel it can't help you. You played ten snaps against the Giants. I can't help you. Yeah, I mean

00:18To me to me. I would rather I would rather

00:23See what I had in Dalvin cook, you know, maybe it is for maybe it is for

00:29If he if he shows up like he did it when the Ravens in that game, you know

00:33And he didn't get many opportunities and the Jets were awful

00:37But if if that's the guy then you move on that's what player personnel is. It's evaluation

00:44You have a guy there if nothing's wrong. I mean, I'm hearing he's healthy and ready to go

00:48I'm not hearing like oh, he doesn't know the plays and this that now Jimmy would churn it you got it. You got it

00:55You got to look at opportunities here that maybe that okay

00:58We'll see, you know give him give him a chance and if and if it doesn't work, there's no harm of that you move on

01:05Yeah, you know who's the guy you feel like you can move on from Zeke Zeke. Yeah

01:10Yeah, so nobody's gonna nobody's gonna you know, but the thing about it is that you know, there's like this

01:17Zeke is we all know this. He's just he's likeable. He's everybody there loves him

01:21He you know

01:22He did some great things for this team and they feel loyal to that more than doing whatever it takes to win and make the

01:28Roster better and that's what this organization is about telling themselves on

01:33Comforting lies, you know like no our running game isn't bad

01:36We just haven't had the chance to do it because we haven't played from ahead BS

01:40you had the chance against Cleveland and

01:43You didn't run it because you knew running it would get you two yards and a punt in about a minute and a half

01:48So you're like let's throw it more like I like what the 972 here he says here's here's my take guys with all these injuries

01:54This is Dax time to prove why he is the highest paid quarterback. That's your best chance throwing a lot on early downs

02:02Even when you run and it's blocked up. Well, well, that's what they did the last four minutes of the Giants game

02:07Yeah, and it worked well

02:10First down they got it to second in three or four and then they ran stay ahead of the chain

02:14They were just trying to they wasn't run run pass

02:17It was pass, you know make it manageable get you know, six seven yards and then run the ball the next play

02:23It was the opposite of what you had been doing right was now we need back to bail us out on third and long

02:28Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna hope that

02:31They're gonna lead with the pass here on the early downs and continue to have as much success as they had against the Giants

02:37Although you know not not not many teams are gonna cooperate like the Giants will
