And you were at the press 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:17.600 conference this morning. I was at the press conference to 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.400 this morning, and uh, are we still going to win 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:24.560 this game? I believe so. Not backing down. Oh, not 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:29.480 backing down coaches, not backing down from yesterday. Okay, you 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.200 got quotes, don't you? I do. I have what he 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.359 said today about you know what why he said what 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:39.880 he said? And um, he said, it's irrelevant of what 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.480 I said. It's an honest answer to a question from 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:47.079 a great group of people. Yeah, great group of people. 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:54.000 He's still on meds. Yeah, still affecting his uh yes, 0:02:54.120 --> 0:03:00.360 COVID father. He uh yeah, he was. Oh, he didn't 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.760 back down. He said what he had to say. And 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:07.400 Jerry basically said, well, why would he say anything? Damn right, 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.560 I'm driving this man, I'm loving this. It's just so 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:16.160 amazing because how this thing exploded. It was I thought 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.680 it was just a kind of a you know, okay, 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:20.720 it's an answer, but you know it was in the 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:24.800 midst of a two minute answer to your question, and 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:28.200 it wasn't like it was premedit. I'm gonna go I'm 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.880 gonna go into this press conference and I'm gonna tell 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.359 the world that we're gonna win this game because our 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.240 team needs to hear this from I'm gonna spice up 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.960 this rivalry again. We're gonna bring it back. Somebody asked 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:42.800 me if it was premeditated. I said, well, to be premeditated, 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:45.480 you would have had to just blurt it out right. 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.800 I said, if he didn't get that question, you wouldn't 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:52.160 have got that answer. And it was a long winding 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:57.280 answer the question exactly well. It started off with David 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:01.280 Moore asked him about the offense. He said, he said 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:06.040 it was his his analogy to what's gone on with 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.880 the offense over the last four weeks. He said, it's 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.640 like a rolling blackout, like something good happens and then 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.840 something bad happens, and it's always something different. So he 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:20.800 got into this long soloquy of you know what happens soliloquy, Yeah, 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:26.599 and then he said and then he said, then he 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.440 said something like, we know what people think of us, 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:33.360 meaning he knows where the criticism is. We're comfortable with 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.800 who we are and where we are. But I'm excited 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.039 about what's in front of us. We're going to win 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:43.560 this game. I'm confident in that. There you go, So 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.359 you know, and it's become the theme of the week 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.120 and what I like about it though it's not like 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:53.200 he pounded the tables and darning and we're winning this work. 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.279 He's really just not that kind of guy. He's not, 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.680 but the guy who is that guy is prevailing, right, 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.800 and so him receiving that, then you know that that's 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.719 gonna be blown up. Yeah, in his locker room and 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.760 his interviews and fell from here on out. Uh, we 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:12.520 got three weeks right of yeah, three games. This is 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.120 gonna go. This is gonna go, It's gonna go. I'm 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.800 loving this, man, This is this is this is old 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.200 school stuff. Really when you think about it, you know, 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:23.400 it's not Jimmy Johnson or anything, but it's a rivalry 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.880 that really kind of needs to be uh, pucked up 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.640 just a little bit. Absolutely, And I'm loving this. I'm 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:31.880 glad you said that because that's just what I wrote 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.520 in my college and hasn't appeared. Just Yes, it's like 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:38.279 this rivalry needed to be juice stuff. And it's basically 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.839 compared to what used to take place, compared this is 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.839 kids stuff. This is kids stuff. I see nowadays because 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.960 of social media, we can make kids stuff yea, and 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.080 blow it up ya back then, you you you could 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:54.800 easily dial it down something that was like explosive. They 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:56.600 would try to best to dial it down. So now 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.160 we're building it up. Let's go with it. Yeah, absolutely, 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.600 it's right. That's out time. And you know what, and 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:06.080 you gotta have both teams uh good enough to want 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.599 the same thing you And basically I know how the 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:15.240 rivalry started, but it didn't get really underway till uh 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:20.279 Bruce Allen got there, right and and not not Bruce 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:24.240 George George y uh and and and all of a 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:29.440 sudden in the early seventies, Washington took something away from 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.400 the Cowboys they won the NFC. Yeah, he took the 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.760 banners off of the side of the stadium at Texas Stadium. 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.600 That's one thing he did after a win, he goes around, 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.880 he snatched off all the banners off of Texas Stadium 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.680 walls and after they came in and kicked out butts. 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.120 That started it, right. That's when that because you're like 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:51.280 George Allen's like crazy hyped on one side, and of 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.840 course you have to land very manly man on one 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:56.919 side on the other side. So when he did that, 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.920 how dare you do that to Tom land use Dallas Cowboys? 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.800 That's what really kicked it off. Okay, And how big 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:07.039 is this game you talk about? The Cowboys and Washington 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.280 will play twice in the next three games. If the 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:12.840 Cowboys take care of business and win this game in 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.560 land Over, Maryland on Sunday afternoon, they will have a 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:21.000 three game lead on both Washington and Philadelphia with four 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.720 games left in the season. Next week, the Cowboys play 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:27.320 at the Giants while Washington and Philadelphia play each other. 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.920 Somebody's got to lose or they could tie. Yeah, and 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.760 that's as good as a loss. And I get this. 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.280 If the Cowboys win their next two games and Washington 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:42.880 and Philadelphia tie next week, oh gosh, that didn't Cowboys clinch? 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.800 The Cowboys clinch n but you can knock Washington out. 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.320 If you win this one in Philadelphia beats Washington next week, 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:55.320 Washington will be eliminated coming here on the day after Christmas. 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:59.880 If the Cowboys win, go three and two over these 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.480 five games, and one of the wins over Washington, then 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.400 Washington can't catch them because they got to win out 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.400 to get to eleven. Right. If the Cowboys win three 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:15.120 games and once against Washington, they get they get to eleven. Yes, 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:18.680 they definitely they have a bye this week, okay, And 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:22.160 so if the Cowboys win, they would be like Washington, 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.520 they would be three games out with four to play, 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:26.840 with a six and seven record. Well, the Cowboys would 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:30.480 be nine and four. Cowboys lose this game, Cowboys are 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:35.000 sitting there at eight and five and Washington is seven 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:38.000 and six, and the Eagles would be six and seven. 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.800 It's an NFC East gumbo. Well, it's about time come on. 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:46.080 Although it sort of was that last year, except for 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:49.280 the fact that they wanted at seven and nine and 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:52.400 the Cowboys were one game behind with six and ten. 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:56.400 If you can phantom, that was crazy just ending that 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.520 season last year. It was crazy. So but it's a 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.280 difference and having a three game lead over Washington or 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.240 a one game lead over Washington. So if you're gonna 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:05.720 win three out of your last five, you might as 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:07.880 well win them. The win them on the front end 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.319 of it, right, and you would rather do that, right, 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.560 But as long as they split with them, that's that's 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:20.920 significant at least from eliminating Washington from becoming the first 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:25.160 NFC East team to repeat since two thousand and four. 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.000 We're not even going there, bo, how about that? Yeah, 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:33.120 wouldn't even four Philadelphia. It is not going to happen 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:38.320 that Washington. Washington's not gonna happen. Wouldn't So the train 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:41.520 will continue. You're predicting right here. That's your first pick 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:46.080 of the of this day. Yeah, is that the Cowboys 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.079 will win this division, whether they wrap it up in 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:53.319 three weeks or four weeks. Everson Walls futures there you go. 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.400 That's right like that. So, but it is interesting to 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.280 note that the Cowboys actually could clinch the divis Asian 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.599 by a week from Sunday. Yeah, if they win the 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.839 next two in Washington and Philadelphia tie next week there. Yeah, 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.959 that's that's the projectory. We will han trajectory. We will 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:12.599 han um behen we before we started stumbling, right, you know, 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.400 we were just on our way to just running away 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:18.600 with this division. And now the Cowboys are pretty close 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:22.600 to as healthy as you can be with the exception 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.959 yeah of the running back, yes, but so is that 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:37.000 time for Mick said it right? So Zeke still listed 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:41.720 as fully practicing. So uh and then have you seen him? 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:43.880 And I have seen him, and he seems to be 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:48.360 running fine to me, especially running like he was in 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:53.080 September or yeah, it was the training camp against He's 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:57.400 pretty good against air. Yeah, yeah, right, and when there's 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:00.959 a hole and when there's a hole there, which is 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:05.920 like running against right, So so we just need the hose. 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:10.959 Just he doesn't have a problem with his knee. He 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.640 has a problem with his offensive line not open absolutely, 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:18.240 although no one will say that they won't. So and 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:23.120 Tony Pollard d n Pede as we talked about yesterday 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:27.079 with his plantar fascia, uh slight tear in it is, 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:30.520 I guess how they're describing it. And a game time 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.160 and he's game time that we'll see and and and 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:37.559 Jerry seems somewhat hopeful doctor Jerry, and you know, so 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:41.400 we'll see where that was somewhat hopeful. Now that's not 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.880 real hope. Well, it's still Jerry, it's still If Jerry 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:50.200 is somewhat hopeful, that's not now. He's very He's almost definite. 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:53.319 On Michael Parsons, who didn't finish the practice. He was 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:58.640 having a problem with his hip, but Mike McCarthy thought 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:02.480 it was minor, and Jerry thought that that nothing to 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.439 worry about. So we'll see what happens. There to be 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:08.120 a Debbie Doomsday, I guess it is the best way 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:12.800 to put it. If Poston's misses a game, We've got 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.839 some really good guys coming back. Yeah, but help I know, 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:20.880 I know, I know, I mean Gregory Gregory. Gregory's not 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.199 going to get out there in play sixty snaps. I 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.040 don't think. Well, I just mean other guys coming back. 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:29.679 We could, but I wouldn't like that. I wouldn't have 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.120 at the linebacker position. I would either way. But I 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:39.520 think he'll he'll be okay. Um, so they're not really 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:44.280 worried about that. Gregory evidently was slow a little in practice. 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.800 He's got a cold, so but again, if he comes back, 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.360 he's gonna get twenty five snaps or so something like that. 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:54.960 And the same thing with Neville Gallimore. I think they're 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:59.319 very definite about him being back. DeMarcus Lawrence is you know, 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.480 this little one game under his belt. You know, the 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:06.360 same thing with Cooper and Ceedee Lamb too. Feeling better. 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:08.599 I mean, yeah, they got to be there, you know, 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.600 kind of removed from where they were with the concussion 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.560 in COVID that that week under the belt, that extra 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:18.600 week on right. Cedric Wilson was still limited in practice 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.439 with the ankle, but the part I saw, you know, 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:23.800 when they were warming up yesterday, he seemed to be 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.480 running okay. So and think about him. He does so 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.120 many different things, right, so you can get injured playing 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:33.240 special teams, which he exhales at and so now he 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:35.439 might get injured not running a route of trying to 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.240 block physique, but he might get injured going down on 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.280 kickoff or covering the punt, yeah, or returning kickoffs. Because 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.440 if Pollard can't play, now they got to come back 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:49.320 with somebody else to stand there and go. They don't 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:53.880 always do, except when we have some returns, except when 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.480 he kicking short, he takes it to the house. We 0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:59.520 know what you we know what you want out punt 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:03.920 returned to do this game. Although and and so, and 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:07.360 remember we talked about it yesterday with edo Smith having 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.319 signed him. He got into practice and Mike said, he 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.439 seemed to, you know, work well, seemed to know his 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:17.680 way around the offense. So, um, that's encouraging Corey Clement. 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:19.840 It's got a little something. You know, He's got some 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.360 juice to him. So I don't know if he would 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.280 be the guy to return kickoffs. Mike Well obviously wasn't 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.480 going to reveal that fact. Well, you know what they 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.880 need unless he did to build during his interview with him. 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.280 They still need holes, Yes, okay, that's what they another 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.120 one way or another, he though, needs a whole. Clement 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.680 needs a hole. You know. I saw last night the 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:44.440 Steelers couldn't stop Cook and Cook went off. He went 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:48.720 but two hundred and something. But but that was that 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.880 holds all over the place. There was several holes for 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.320 him to run through. On one particular play, I mean 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.920 he was there was opening up. He barely got touched 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.560 down some place touched. I didn't get touched. And we 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.960 haven't seen a lot of that here. And I'll talk 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:07.280 about a coach who will who will set it straight 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:11.200 in a postgame press conference here Mike Tomlin, he said, 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:14.320 we love it. We get we got beat on both 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.720 sides of the upfront, on both sides of the ball. 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:18.560 I mean, he just he doesn't let him have it 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:21.880 on his own team said we we can't win these 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.800 games if we got to be any better up front 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.800 on offense and defense. I lost concentration when it was 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:30.160 twenty one and nine to nothing. What happened after that? 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.120 Came back? Steelers came back, they came eight. Well they 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:38.600 came back and it was thirty six, twenty eight, and well, 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.960 you get down to the final minute of the game. 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.200 Pittsburgh got the ball back with more than two minutes left, 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:48.040 no time outs left, they were down by eight. They 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:49.880 had plenty of They got it at their own four 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:52.720 yard line, so they got to go ninety six yards here. Well, 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.120 they start matriculating down the field. They get it to 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:59.400 about the midfield or there about the forty yard line 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:03.960 of the Vikings. Chase Claypool catches a ball and then 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:07.040 does a little celebration. I mean, they're in, they're in 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:10.200 now in the there's like one minute left, fifty seconds left, 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:14.800 and he does a little first down celebrate. Whatever it was, 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.080 and then an offensive lineman tries to take the ball 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:20.760 away from him and the ball gets kicked, and so 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.680 they lose like thirteen or fourteen seconds on the clock, 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.200 going to retrieve the football to go get it placed 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.200 to continue their hurry up offense. So now they're up 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:31.480 against the clock. The whole time, I'm sitting there going 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.640 they can go down this field in two minutes without 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:36.400 any timehouse with any problem. And then they do a 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.160 knucklehead thing like that, and now all of a sudden 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.600 you're having to you. They were throwing for the end zone. 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:46.920 Big Ben made a perfect throw on the last play, 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:51.000 I think it's was two seconds left, the last play 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.280 for the end zone, to his tight end in the 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:57.640 end zone in triple coverage. He puts it right right there, 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:02.680 right there, safety coming across his face. Bob gets knocked 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.840 out from behind by Harrison Smith. Big time players make 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:09.760 big time plays, and it was tight end had a 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.480 chance to make that catch even with the guy about 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:16.080 to hit him right in his face if Harrison Smith 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:20.080 doesn't knock it away. And there was another one that 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.920 got Tomblin, but but it was twenty nine to nothing, 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.080 and when that drive started I said, if Pittsburgh goes 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:30.560 down here and completes this comeback in two point conversion 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:34.040 and winds up winning this thing, Zimmer might get fired tomorrow. 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.200 And oh yeah, and uh, by the way, this season's 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:39.560 gone for him now, they're just a half game out 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:43.520 the playoff spot. And there was another one. Tomlin, one 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:46.360 of his players, I'm not sure who it was, did 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:49.320 something with his finger to one of the Vikings helmets. 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:52.240 He just kind of and they threw a flag. And 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:54.320 when he came off the field, they had a close 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:59.080 up of Tomlin in the guy's face side by side, 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.720 and he was like, okay, you just cost us fifteen 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:05.320 yards for bus stuff like that. So so when you 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:11.000 quickly with the with Washington on my phone, yeah, it 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.960 really was. I mean, that's so dramatic. You know, I'd 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:16.560 seen it last night, but just watching it again, that 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:19.560 was just yeah. And Ben put it right where it 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:21.760 needed to be, you know, he had to catch he 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:24.000 had it right there, and uh, and I think he 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:28.600 might have held on if Harrison hadn't. Smith came ye Smith, Yeah, 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.040 Smith knocked it, Yeah, slapped it, but then he also 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:33.360 got hit from the other he did, and so tough 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:36.160 for him, it was gonna be tough, but he had 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.760 a chance if Smith didn't swipe it. That's one of 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:41.480 those plays like like Dad did with CD. Having it 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.560 here is great, it's amazing, but if you haven't here, yeah, 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:46.040 it's a little bit tougher for you to knock it 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:49.240 out to keep it clost your body. Yeah. Washington already 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:53.119 had put out their game status injury report out his 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:59.240 back up offensive lineman West Schweitzer and backup linebacker Jordan Canutes. 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:09.320 Canoe ConA sick just coup Yeah, he's a linebacker questionable. 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:14.520 H Landing Collins with a foot, UH, jam and Davis 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:20.280 still in concussion protocol, their starting middle linebacker, UH, running 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:26.200 back JD. McKissick still in concussion protocol, and wide receiver 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.080 Curtis Samuel who's been coming back from an injury. He's 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:33.120 questionable with the groin so UH. Davis was a full 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:35.320 participant in practice, but he's got to get out of 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:40.360 concussion protocol. Mckissic was limited. So they already went through 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:45.360 their workout and um that's their official report. The Cowboys 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:50.959 will come out around three o'clock their injury injury Yeah, okay, 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:54.000 you yeah, something else you want. In this first segment, 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:57.840 we had to move on. Uh No. I think there 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:01.920 was one other Cowboy injury that caught my eye, and 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:08.920 it occurred Thursday. They got Sean McEwan out with a neck, 0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:15.000 and I think it sounded like maybe McCarthy was a 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:17.520 little worried about it just because it's a net thing. 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:21.880 So somebody brought up number forty nine and he knew 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:25.560 who forty nine was Ian Bunting as the tight end 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:29.239 on the practice squad. So if they need another tight end, 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:32.320 that would really hurt the tight end position because then 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:35.840 you got sprinkle and whoever or a fullback. I guess 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:38.680 Nick Ralston gets called back up. Yeah, if he has 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:41.040 called fullback, I mean they list him as it, right, 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:44.239 some some places will list him as a tight end 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:48.560 and he's Sean Nashan Wright still in COVID protocol. Okay, 0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:51.359 all right, we continue. It's more mix shots than just 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:55.520 a moment.

Okay, So we have yes. 0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:45.520 So we were talking about the rivalry, and so it 0:23:45.760 --> 0:23:49.879 looks like Washington head coach Ron Rivera couldn't help himself 0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:53.800 because he got asked about what Mike McCarthy had to say. 0:23:54.440 --> 0:23:58.600 And this is what he said when he was being 0:23:58.760 --> 0:24:05.920 interviewed by the Washington's in House website when they recorded 0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:09.679 an interview. Here's what he had to say. I think 0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:11.840 it's interesting. I don't think it's important. I think that's 0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:14.639 the big mistakes because as far as I'm concerned, you know, 0:24:14.840 --> 0:24:16.639 you do that for a couple of reasons. One is 0:24:16.680 --> 0:24:18.640 you want to get in our head. And so I've 0:24:18.680 --> 0:24:21.119 told our players this is that's interesting. It's not important. 0:24:21.160 --> 0:24:24.720 It's important as our preparation getting ready to play on Sunday. Secondly, 0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:27.520
