Yes, now, that's absolutely so where would you 28 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: like to start? Let's start with the coaching, Yes, sir, 29 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: how about that all the coaches that were on COVID 30 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: reserve or not COVID reserve but out with COVID uh 31 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: are back in the building except for Mike McCarthy. And 32 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy said this morning that he would return Thursday morning. 33 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: And he said, and as antsy he is and tired 34 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: of talking on the phone and zooming that he was 35 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: thinking of showing up at the Star at twelve o 36 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: one a m. Thursday morning. Can't wait to get you know, 37 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: that reminds me of when I went on the cruise. 38 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: And of course you go and you always take the 39 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: two days to kind of go at the end, and 40 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,119 Speaker 1: then you you make the stops on the way back. Well, 41 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: going there two days on a boat, man, that just 42 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: kills me. When it was time to get off that 43 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: first stop, I would running. I was running. I was 44 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: the first one in line to get the heck off 45 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: of that boat. So yeah, I gotta get it. I 46 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: got a cure for that too. By the way, what 47 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,839 Speaker 1: is there? You take a one way trip and then 48 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: fly back. Interesting, but then you missed the cruise. No 49 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: Alaska all the way stop stop, stop, stop, stop, all 50 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: the way to anchorage and then fly out. Yeah, but dude, 51 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: Anchorage versus Antigua. Come on, man, this is an he's say, 52 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: he says anchorage. You didn't see any icebergs in there 53 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: in Antigua? Adduch Okay, So back to Mike McCarthy, and 54 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: you didn't see much sun and anchorage. Yes I did 55 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: as a matter of fact. Um. So, the offensive line 56 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: coaches were back, the offensive assistant was back, the strength 57 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: and conditioning coaches were back. The weight room is open. 58 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: It's almost like there was a reunion out there today. Now. 59 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: As for practice, sorry, this alarm just goes just now. 60 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: That would be like three minutes late. Well, no, that 61 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: was I was on time. When the ten minutes before 62 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: that and then that was the reminder. Okay, as for practice, 63 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: uh Randy Gregory, they started his twenty one day practice 64 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: period off of i R. So he was in practice 65 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: and looking like he was moving awfully well. So we'll 66 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: see just where it ends up at the end of 67 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: the week. I think they're hopeful that they'll activate him, 68 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: uh for the game, but if not, for sure the 69 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: next game. Neville Gallimore was back out there practicing. De 70 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: Marcus Lawrence was still back out there, uh, practicing. And 71 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: one guy we've all forgot about, I think getting into 72 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: and out of the Saints game, Tristan Hill off suspension. 73 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 1: He's back out there practicing. He got reduced from two 74 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: to one two to one game, right, Hey, that could 75 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: make the difference. Terrence steal off of COVID, so he's 76 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: back out there. The only player that Cowboys still have 77 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: on COVID is Nashan right, And they said maybe I 78 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: think Mike said maybe Saturday he would he would be 79 00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: able to ten days, I guess, and so or he 80 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: hasn't tested, you know, negatived. Within twenty four hours, Cedric 81 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: Wilson was back out there practicing. Two. By the way, 82 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: is he favorable for the game. I would think so, 83 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: because it looked like he was doing everything. The one 84 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: guy that I think will be listed as limited or 85 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: maybe did not practice was Tony Pollard. Looks like he's 86 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: got a foot injury. He was working on the chords 87 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: with Britt Brown along with Donovan Wilson, so Donovan Wilson 88 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: still on injured reserve. It sounded like he was maybe 89 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks from being out there. And we 90 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: have a deep, talented team. And Azekiel Elliott looked like 91 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: he was practicing fully out there. Knee was ready to, 92 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: I mean get out there because he was doing everything. 93 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: Came out after he did his rehab indoors, came out, 94 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: rode the bike for a while, so you will see 95 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: a picture of Zeke riding the stationary bike because the 96 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: stationary bike was right next to where the cameraman stand 97 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: and they were basically it was Terrell Owens all over 98 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: again from training count except Bill. Bill didn't get pissed 99 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: off at him, right because Tarrell came out there like 100 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: he was dressed for for the Tour de France and 101 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: didn't go over real well with the head coach. And 102 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: I think that's everybody I mean, they seemed almost certain 103 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: that Gallimore was ready to go, so that was a 104 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: good sign. Noah Brown wasn't out there, and I think 105 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: he suffered something at the end of the game. John 106 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: Fossil during his conference call on Monday mentioned something about 107 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: him and his contributions on the special team, So we'll 108 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: see where that one goes. And it looked like with 109 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: all those defensive ends back out there, Michael Parsons was 110 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 1: working before they got in the team period with the 111 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: linebackers there you go. So how about having all three 112 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: of those guys back out there with Gregory, DeMarcus Lawrence, 113 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: and Micah Parsons. And I can't remember. I think I 114 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: pointed to this out yesterday dan Quinn saying that the 115 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: three of them have only played twenty eight snaps together 116 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: so far this year, the three of them all together, 117 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: which would have been the Tampa Bay game, which would 118 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: have been Tampa Bay exactly because after that Demarren was 119 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: hurt and then Gregory missed this last game when Lawrence 120 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: came back. So yes, so that's a pretty good assessment. 121 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence said he was talking about having everybody out there, 122 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: and I thought it was somebody asked him about having 123 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: those guys out there and you know, how much does 124 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: that help you? And he said, having those guys out 125 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: there is a blessing to me, but to have me 126 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: out there is a blessing to them. So you gotta 127 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: love that, right uh. And ask for Zeke. He talked 128 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: about his knee being stiff. Uh. And someone asked him about, well, 129 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: now you're gonna play in in the Northeast and it's 130 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: gonna possibly be cold, and he goes, yeah, but he goes, 131 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: once I get it warmed up, Uh, then you know, 132 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: I seem to be fine. Uh. And he said, Plus, 133 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: when you play up there, they give you those benches 134 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: so you can sit down there. Ben He goes, that'll 135 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: help the knee losing up. Be careful, boy, they will. 136 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 1: I don't know if they've upgraded them at all, but 137 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: people have gotten burns from those things or or those blowtorches. 138 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: But he said, uh, he said it's stiff. That that 139 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: was how he kind of, uh, you know, just kind 140 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: of just blamed that. But he said, once it gets 141 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: warmed up, he said, I'm fine. And everybody's acting like 142 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: he's getting dragged off the field or he's dragging himself 143 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 1: off the field, and he disagreed, and he said, in 144 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: playing on it doesn't make it worse. He goes and 145 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: he basically he said, like in three weeks or so, 146 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: he said, it'd probably be back to normal. He said, no, 147 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: one's healthy. Uh, And they asked him about getting rest 148 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: because everybody else was taken off and he goes, you'd 149 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: have to drag me off to Yeah, and see that's 150 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: the problem. But you could clearly see spats when he 151 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: when he broke outside that one time. You know, he 152 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: wasn't going to try and make something out of nothing, 153 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: but he went straight for the sideline. And it wasn't 154 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 1: just that he went straight for the sideline. You can 155 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: see that his limp was dead and that kind of 156 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: what was especially when now Tony Pollitt, Yeah, limited, well 157 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: that could be. By the way they added Edo Smith 158 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: to the practice, I was gonna say, what, that's amazing 159 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: you said that, because I'm sitting here thinking they need 160 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: to add a running but they need to add they did. 161 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: Edo Smith was a fourth round draft choice out of 162 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: Southern Mississippi. He was pretty good at Southern miss by 163 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: the way, Atlanta took him, and I think he played 164 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: for the Falcons for like three years, so dan Quinn 165 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: would have a knowledge, right, and then he bounced around 166 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: this year off of practice squads, and so the Cowboys 167 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: just signed him to the practice squad. And because it 168 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: was weird, I was when I went out there, I 169 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 1: saw forty three and I go picked up my thing. 170 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 1: It's like forty three. It was forty three. And then 171 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: it was like, oh, edo Smith and I had heard 172 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: they were going to make a practice squad addition today. 173 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: So how look what you got on him. He actually 174 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: was their backup running back, and I think he started 175 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: a few games until the year that Todd Gurley showed up, 176 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: and then he ended up. They ended up releasing him 177 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: as if I remember correctly, Let's see, I got his 178 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: NFL's stats. Get being called up as we speak. If 179 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: it'll work. Come on now, oh I just had him. 180 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: I shouldn't not let him go. Um it's coming. He's 181 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: five eight and a half. I'll tell you that much. 182 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: I went in backside. That's good, that's right, that's good. 183 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: Two hundred pounds. Let's when he came out. Let's see 184 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: with see last year with Atlanta sixty three, he played 185 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: in fourteen games, sixty three carries two hundred and sixty 186 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: eight yards four point three yards of carry. What year, So, girly, 187 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,599 Speaker 1: you were saying that in his first year in the 188 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: league in twenty eighteen, right, he got fourteen games, ninety carries, 189 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: three hundred fifteen yards or three and a half yards 190 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: to carry, four touchdowns, and then Gurley came along in 191 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: what nineteen or so with them until he would have 192 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: been the backup then. But I mean, we just needed 193 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: I think, just like we were talking about at the 194 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: end of the show yesterday, the Cowboys need to be 195 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: able to run the football to close out games. And yeah, 196 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: and that's why a Pollard injury. I mean, we're obviously 197 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,719 Speaker 1: sitting there going, Okay, well, maybe they didn't want to 198 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: run Zeke because he's hobbled a little bit. Okay, they 199 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: could run Pollard whatever, But then what if what if 200 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: Zeke goes out? What if Pollard goes out? Now, as 201 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: we're getting closer to the end of the season, they 202 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: have to make sure that they've got you know, reinforcements, yea, 203 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 1: and other than just Clement, right, right, they got to 204 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: have Corey Clement, right, but they need another guy. But 205 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 1: this guy Scott, he's got experience. Clement's got experienced too. Yeah. Right, 206 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:36,839 Speaker 1: so now you got a couple of you. So it's 207 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: you fortified the position in case of injury. And they're 208 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: not just about running the ball. These guys got to 209 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: pick up blitzes because that's why you want a veteran guy. 210 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: You know, you got your Kwon Hardy as he's still 211 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: on the practice one. I think he might be oh yes, yeah, 212 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: and so, but he's a young guy. And so you 213 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: want a veteran guy that once you get you know, 214 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: pushing towards the postseason, that you can depend on. Right 215 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: right now, just for this game alone, everyone's going to 216 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: be blissing the quarterback. Okay, that's just the way it 217 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: is that I saw, by the way, chance that they 218 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: have a beating. I saw a stat by the way 219 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: that Washington has blitzed the quarterbacks thirty seven percent of 220 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: the times, and they're leading the league again, and they're 221 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: going to increase it for this game because this is 222 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: a big game and they saw what they've seen what 223 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: has happened the previous games with us. We do well 224 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: under the blitz, but we don't do as well. So 225 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna try to put as much pressure on. One 226 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: reason why they'll leave Zeke in on Nickel downs because 227 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: they're worried about the Blitz and they trust him and 228 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: DA's got a pretty high quarterback rating against the Blitz 229 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: if you want to believe those statistics. No, No, his 230 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: his under pressure. I've talked about it. They say he's 231 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: like number one, number two in the in the league 232 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: since he's been in the league. So that's just something 233 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: that that's his forte. But you don't want to want 234 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: him to keep taking hits over and over again because 235 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: that has a residual effect on you as the game 236 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: goes on. He's tough, he's tough, and he can do it, 237 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: but you don't want to have to deal with that. 238 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: Here's another thing you I think Will McClay and the 239 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: pro personnel people are keeping an eye on on a 240 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: daily basis right now. Are teams that are basically out 241 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: of contention releasing players to where you might be able 242 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: to fortify, like a running back position. Let's the Saints 243 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: this week they release Kenny Stills and that's not a 244 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: running back, but it's that's an example of you want 245 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: to to make sure that you're covering yourself in case 246 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: we have experienced play in the beauty of it. In 247 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: this COVID era of the NFL is you can sign 248 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: a veteran guy and put them on his practice squad 249 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: for a limited rounding them and bring them up. You 250 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: don't have to make an immediate roster move. Maybe even 251 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: you keep them on the practice squad for a week 252 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: or two and then if you have a need then uh. 253 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: You know it's because there are teams like say the Texans, 254 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: you know they're out of it, the Lions whatever, they 255 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: may have better in players, they just want to release 256 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: and someone picks them up and they don't. They aren't 257 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: on the hook for the rest of them. Are they 258 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: want to bring somebody up off the practice squad that 259 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: they don't want to lose their rights too. And Kenny 260 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: Steele's probably sitting there going, Okay, I guess I shouldn't 261 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: dropped that pass against the Actually it might benefit a 262 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: guy like you there, And there may be some there's 263 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: veteran guys who are telling their team, Hey, I got 264 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: I'm in my last year in this league. Okay, do 265 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: me a favor, release me so I can get picked 266 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: up and buy a potential playoff team. And the key thing, 267 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: we're at the point of the season where everybody, uh 268 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: that gets released has to go through waivers. It's no 269 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: longer oh, I'm a veteran, vested veteran, and I can 270 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: choose where I want to go. At this point, you've 271 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: got to go through waivers. So the Cowboys are pretty 272 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: far down the list obviously at eight and four. Along 273 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: those lines, why why does the league have the trade 274 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: deadline when they do? Why not push it back to 275 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: like the end of November. Can you think of a 276 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: reason and why they have it? So some some teams 277 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: can't just say, Okay, I'm dumping this guy and and 278 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: do another team of favor. Okay, I mean that's why 279 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: the you have to go through waivers now, right and 280 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: that and that and that kicks in right after the 281 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: trade deadline, right, and that and that could be the 282 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: same reason for the trade deadline, right, so you you 283 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: don't have any cahoots going on out there, as they 284 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: might say up northeast. So uh. And the only other 285 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: thing I was going to point out is I like 286 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: this from Cede Lamb. He was talking about all these 287 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: four four of the last five games Division games, and 288 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: you know what do you think? He goes, I'm excited. 289 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm really excited. So it's and Mike McCarthy basically said 290 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: that this morning about the division games and goes, this 291 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: is what you want. This is the challenge that you 292 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: want to find out just where you're ats. No, it's 293 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: not like, oh, I can't back into this. It's like, no, 294 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: I gotta play well into the plays in your hands. Right, 295 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: I mean here it is. You've got the division, you're 296 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: in the in the in the division league, and you 297 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: have division games coming up. Other teams look at this 298 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: as their opportunity to make a move on the Cowboys. 299 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: And somebody pointed out I was listening on radio and 300 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: it was like, well, yeah, if Washington wins out, they're 301 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: they're going to the playoffs. And I'm going, okay, that 302 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: means they're gonna win nine straight. Are they good enough 303 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: to win nine straight games? And the key on that 304 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: is the rest of their game they have. Their five 305 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: remaining games are all division games for Washington. Dallas says 306 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 1: two against philad I'm not sure. I think it's two 307 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 1: against Philadelphia and one against the I think or vice versa. 308 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: But yes, right, all five so and Cowboys of course 309 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: have four of their last five. So you like the 310 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: way that the NFL has set this up. I looked 311 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: at the at the other divisions. I assume it's pretty similar. Yeah, 312 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: that's great. The way things were going early on, it 313 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: looked like, you know, it was going to be a 314 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: boy this this part of the season was going to 315 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: be boring for the Cowboys wouldn't need it. But since 316 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: we fall to a little bit, man, they fall to 317 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: themselves right into strength. I think the only team that 318 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: might be somewhat clear of this December rush would be 319 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: Arizona if they beat the Rams. I think they played 320 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: this this coming game. Yes they do, they do, and 321 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: I think they would have like a three to four 322 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: game lead with four to go. But everybody else in 323 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: all the divisions, everybody's going to be scrambling, right, and 324 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna be playing each other, So these games are meaningful. 325 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 1: There's no say, an opportunity for these teams to have 326 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: the momentum going into the playoffs, right, which is what 327 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: every team that Tampa did it last year, streak into 328 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: the playoffs. They did it before streaking to the player. 329 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: Think I remember Tom Landry saying something like that, drink 330 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 1: into probably right. Yeah. And and the other thing is 331 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: there's not going to be any of this. Okay, we 332 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: got this sewed up, so we can just you know, 333 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: blow off the last two games of the year because 334 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: as we know, that number one seed is pretty important 335 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: and everybody's going to be playing down the stretch. I'm 336 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: sticking with my prediction. Ten and seven Cowboys went in 337 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: the East. You know, a number of years ago the 338 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: NFL made it made the decision to schedule the last 339 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: week of the season and maybe the second to last 340 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,479 Speaker 1: week of the season division games, and now maybe it's 341 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: because of the seventeen games, so they've extended it basically. 342 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: And another there's some aberrations, you know, like the Cowboys 343 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: playing the Cardinals, whatever, but we're basically the last month 344 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: of being genius Cowboys playing depending on what it could 345 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: be next week, and so it's like the last five 346 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: weeks of the season. They've they've done it now, and um, 347 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: because I haven't liked it in the past when it's 348 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: just the last two because sometimes the whole thing's decided 349 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: before you're actually playing your division games. But I like 350 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: this where you basically set aside, the last month is 351 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: if you're go get it and with the end get it. 352 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: The other part of it is with the with the 353 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: extra playoff team. Now you got seven playoff teams in 354 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: each conference, and don't you know, for guys like Bill 355 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: Jones in the TV business, the TVs loved this because 356 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: they've got more games that they could switch, like those 357 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: night games. And it's like, oh, I've got now three 358 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: weeks and I've got eight different divisions that these games 359 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: are going to be in. Okay, so considering this is 360 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: a new game, Uh, how late do they wait to 361 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: reschedule if they're going to reschedule the flexing? Yes, it's 362 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: been I think you have to do it the Monday before. 363 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: Oh so it's too late before the Monday before the game? 364 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: Or is it ten days something like that? Oh it 365 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: is not ten days. It may be the Sunday. It 366 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: seems like by Sunday night you have to do the 367 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 1: next Yeah. So we're steady at right now and the 368 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys have a night game. Uh the is it the 369 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: Giants game? That's a night game? Here? Just opened that 370 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: thing up right there. Book Get Off of the Internet 371 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: is the first page that the Giants game is a 372 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 1: new game. It's Washington watch back here the day after Christmas, right, right, 373 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 1: that's the night game. That's the night game. Okay, so 374 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: so obviously if there that's a night game, they're probably 375 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: not flexing one before or after because Arizona's next. Right, 376 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: Let's just think about that. Let's think how if Arizona loses, 377 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: then this this this, if we take a break, I'm 378 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: gonna go and get that schedule over on that chair 379 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: over there, and it's got all to do them schedules.

He was talking about his brother, Yeah, 428 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 1: because they asked him compare Michael Parsons rookie year to 429 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: his brother's rookie year, and and he started smiling and 430 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: he goes, whoa, wait a minute, this is new to me. 431 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: Javon Curse. Yeah, that's jay Ron Curse brother, older brother, 432 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: and he said, so I'm playing here. Let's let's say 433 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: it's a tie at this point. But anyway, he pointed 434 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: out that uh some he asked him about having dan 435 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: Quinn on the field instead of up in the box. 436 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: What was the difference, and he basically said, well, you know, 437 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,959 Speaker 1: it was kind of nice um to come off the 438 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 1: field and have the defensive coordinator shake your hand or 439 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: pat you on the back instead of you know, listening 440 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: over a phone. And somebody said something about, well, are 441 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: you superstitious because you guys had four interceptions, and he goes, 442 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: it's it's uncle uncle. Oh yeah, I was gonna say 443 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: that guy's is old. It is possible, but it was. 444 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: It was related. Yeah, that's cool, but it is interesting 445 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: and I'll let you continue. It is interesting that we've 446 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: gone this long before it's really been out there much 447 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: common knowledge, the family relationship between him and the family athleticism. 448 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: This is amazing, right, absolutely. His cousin, by the way, 449 00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: as Philip Buchanan also who stopped man, Yeah, stop, go ahead, 450 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: cornerback cornerback right. Anyway, he was saying, well, I'm kind 451 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: of superstitious, and we did have four interceptions with Dan 452 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: on the field, so we'll see where that one goes. Um, 453 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: but anyway, did you so, did you say a superstition? 454 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: Did I am? I? Uh not really. He didn't say 455 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: what his superstition is. Oh no, he said, yeah. Oh 456 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: he didn't say what else. It was, no, just I'm 457 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: kind of superstititions. Well, he said a fruit roll up. 458 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: He eats a fruit roll up every day. Oh is 459 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: that whatever? Since well since the kids a city gave 460 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: it stuff like it's been that long. That's not a superstition. No, 461 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: it's not. Somebody asked Jason Garrett about that, and he goes, 462 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: I'm not superstitious. I just kind of have a routine, right, 463 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: I do it the same way I have. Yeah, because 464 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: I had I had to spat my own shoes. I 465 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: don't want nobody touching my shoes. I'll take better than 466 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: anybody can. I put the left one on first and 467 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,199 Speaker 1: the right one on second. That's weird, that is. And 468 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: if I change so it's like, oh, should I do that? Right? Oh? Yeah, 469 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: take that thing off. Yeah, he's superstitious. Yeah, he says, yeah, 470 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: it's route by the way, Jason Garrett for the Duke job. 471 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: I saw that, got it. His name comes a candle 472 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: up for the hey with his his end with Shavski, right, 473 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: we remember he takes he's leaving, I know, but he's 474 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 1: still kind of involved with the club. I mean with 475 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 1: the school has gone there before. That would be a 476 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: good spot for I really would. But also that George 477 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: Edwards name came up too, the Cowboys linebacker coach. I 478 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: forgot he That's where he went to school and he 479 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: actually started his coaching career there, so his name has 480 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: come up. Think Jones might have given Jason Garrett a little, 481 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: you know, endorsement water back Jones, the quarterback Daniel Jones. Yeah, 482 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: that's that's a great I didn't think of that. Oh ye, 483 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: you're a way ahead of I'm thinking like Bill, see that. 484 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: I'm thinking like that. That's a good one there. If 485 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: they still like them right well, with Duke's football history, 486 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 1: they gotta love Daniel Jones. So anyway, here's my schedule. 487 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 1: We were talking about it, right, yes, and that's why 488 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: we took the break. So like Kansas City, Kansas City 489 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,479 Speaker 1: has a one game lead over the Chargers, okay, and 490 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: they've got to play Vegas, the Chargers, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and 491 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: Denver's so they've got one that is a very difficult 492 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: role without. So they've got three three division games left, 493 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: so that's up in the air. Right. Tennessee has a 494 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: one and a half game lead over Indianapolis. They've got 495 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: to play Jacksonville, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Miami in Houston, so 496 00:28:54,080 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: they've got two two division games left. Indianapolis has New England, Arizona, Vegas, 497 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: and Jacksonville, so that division's kind of up for grod 498 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: who has also who was the last one? What team 499 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: was that? Indianapolis. It's also blown to smithereens my theory 500 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: that the NFL has has scheduled division games throughout the 501 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: last month of the season other than the NFC East. Yeah, 502 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,479 Speaker 1: because the AFC South apparently they're not that didn't schedule 503 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: it that way. Division Well, the AFC North now Baltimore 504 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: has to still play Cleveland, Green Bay, Cincinnati, the Raiders, 505 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: i mean the Rams, and Pittsburgh. So they got three. 506 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: So they got three, right, It's not just divisional those 507 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: are tough non divisional games England, England, England, Atlanta, Atlanta. Yeah. 508 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: So they've got a one, one and a half, two 509 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: and a half game lead over Buffalo, is that right? Nine? 510 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: Who are you talking about? A Patriots, New England? Oh, England, Yeah? Yeah, England, England, 511 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: the UK. The UK has one and a half game league. 512 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: They've got a buy this week and then they've got 513 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: to play Indie Buffalo, Jacksonville and Miami, so they've got 514 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: two without for them. They might go, they might win out. 515 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: Buffalo has Tampa Bay, Carolina, New England, Atlanta and the Jets, 516 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: so they've got a bunch of division kids, So somebody, 517 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: somebody's going to be losing some of those games. So yeah, yeah, somebody. Yeah, 518 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: speaking of England, England, Um, who do you think is 519 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: the coach of the Year in the NFL this year? Oh? 520 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: I think Belichick's got to be right up there. I agree, 521 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: of course Kingsbury with their Arizona but I think what 522 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: what what? And maybe the executive of the year too. 523 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: I mean, he's the way they put their team together 524 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: and the way they dismantled last year and then they 525 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: put it all back together this year, and then drafting 526 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: the quarterback who with the fifteenth overall pick. But it's 527 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: just the way they've they've done it this year, and 528 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: they've got the best record in the AFC. Right now 529 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: with five games to go. You think no one's ever 530 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: called him England before for short, No no one's ever 531 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: done so first right here, So you would vote for 532 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: Belichick right now with five games to go Coach of 533 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: the year. How many times I wonder as Belichick one 534 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: coach of the year. Probably never, probably very few times 535 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: early on, early on. I mean it's like, you know, 536 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: once you established yourself as the best coach in the league, 537 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: you never get the award. In nineteen ninety four with 538 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: the Browns, he could have gotten Coach of the Year 539 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: taking that team to the playoffs after everyone already knew 540 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: that Modale was going to sell the team in ninety three. 541 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: And then they come back after that ninety five and 542 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 1: it's done. But in ninety four they came here to 543 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: Texas Stadium. Uh held him on fourth and goal, They 544 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: held on four downs on first and goal and won 545 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: the ball game. You would call that Cleveland Browns come 546 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: into Texas State nineteen ninety four. Yeah, I remember that 547 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: was the head of the game. They came and then 548 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: we stopped at the one yard line and it was Yeah, 549 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: the quarterback through the ball under the goal before it 550 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: was late into the season up. Yeah, So he could 551 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: have gotten Coach of the Year that year. I mean, 552 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I think he should should have because Cleveland 553 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: was after ninety three, we were in the dirt and 554 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: you were done by that. I was done by then. 555 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:46,959 Speaker 1: He got rid of me and half the season we 556 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: went in first place to end in the AFC Central 557 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: Division and ninety four in ninety three three and then 558 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: we ended up we tanked the whole rest of the season. 559 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: They did what's the day today? Eighth? Yeah, that was 560 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: December tenth, nineteen ninety four, twenty seven years ago. I 561 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: tripped down memory Lane with Everson Walls right here, and 562 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: guess what the final score was. It was a No. 563 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 1: One hit twenty nine. That was the hell of a game. 564 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: I was very impressed because I was upset from being 565 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: released and I wanted to see what they were going 566 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: to do afterwards. So I was actually kind of proud 567 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: because Peppa Johnson was on the team. These are guys 568 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: that I played with, and they came in ninety four 569 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: No One expected the Browns to be up there and 570 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: Troy Acheman, if you couldn't believe this, got immercifully criticized 571 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: on that play because he didn't throw the ball into 572 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: the end zone and he threw it underneath and had 573 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: Novicheck not slipped at the last moment, he's going to score. 574 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 1: Cowboys win. Yeah, and he came up like a half yard. Yeah, 575 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: that was that was very excited. Can still see it 576 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: as a matter. And so when you don't ask me 577 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: about last year, but I can tell you nine another 578 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: little trivia note on that that was a Saturday afternoon game. 579 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: Was real, real, yea. And see when you look at 580 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 1: those seasons and then in the early years with Brady, 581 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,479 Speaker 1: you would think that Belichick will the one. At least 582 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,320 Speaker 1: he's wife all right. He's one NFL Coach of the 583 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,439 Speaker 1: Year three times O three, O seven in twenty ten, 584 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: no ninety four.

So here 634 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: it is Washington defensive end Montez Sweet Sweat Sweat. Sorry. 635 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: He was expected, I know, to practice Wednesday for the 636 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,240 Speaker 1: first time in a month since breaking his jaw against 637 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos, but now faces a second hurdle with a 638 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 1: positive COVID nineteen test. They put him on COVID reserve 639 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: today meeting. He will have to miss at least ten 640 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 1: days because the twenty five five year old is unvaccinated. Yes, 641 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: you filled in the blanks perfectly, and so that probably 642 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,399 Speaker 1: get pretty much takes pretty close to taking him out 643 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: for next one, almost the following game, and probably won't 644 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:23,879 Speaker 1: have much practice before he played the Cowboys again. Dull cakes, 645 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,319 Speaker 1: So we talked about the scheduling quirks. Do you let 646 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 1: me finish one board thing? Sweat created a stir in 647 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,359 Speaker 1: the off season when he admitted he was not a 648 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 1: fan of the team's push to get players vaccinated. Said 649 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 1: he needs more facts and stuff. But he's got time now, 650 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: ten days off. Yeah, check it out and see how 651 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 1: I feel. He can be his own guinea pig. He 652 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 1: can get the fact right now. So yes, speaking of scheduling, 653 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 1: do you like the fact that the NFL has scheduled 654 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,760 Speaker 1: Dallas versus Washington twice in the span of three weeks. 655 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm a fan of that, but 656 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 1: playing the division games I'm good with. But yeah, that 657 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 1: seems a little ridiculous. Why well, they're not the only 658 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: team to do that, if I'm not mistaken. They're several 659 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,839 Speaker 1: moments where that comes up throughout the season. So it's 660 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 1: just another hurdle. It's just another quirk in the schedule, 661 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,439 Speaker 1: just another thing to get over. I'd love to get 662 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 1: Washington out of the way quickly. Well, because they make 663 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,799 Speaker 1: me nervous. Well, here's what Washington's got to do. So 664 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: after they play the Cowboys, they play Philadelphia, then Dallas, 665 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 1: then Philadelphia again. Wow, So they got back to back, 666 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:45,320 Speaker 1: I mean back to back back and then close with 667 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: the Giants. Oh but look at this one. Oh Philadelphia. Okay, 668 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 1: I just said, so Philadelphia has got to play Washington, 669 00:39:54,280 --> 00:40:01,799 Speaker 1: the Giants in Washington and Dallas then Dallas. Yeah, So 670 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: why did they save all the NFC East games to them? 671 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,240 Speaker 1: Because they hate the NFC East. They disrespect the NFC 672 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,879 Speaker 1: East all the time. They came into the season saying 673 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, all the Cowboys and nfcas you look at it, 674 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 1: look at the NFC North and mickey, if the Cowboys 675 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 1: and Washington, or if the Cowboys are playing four of 676 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,879 Speaker 1: their last five against the NFC East and Washington's playing 677 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 1: all five, and then you can figure the fill that 678 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 1: the Eagles and the Giants have similar schedules, do the 679 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: same thing, right, but two out of three? Everyone? Uh? Well, 680 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 1: and then now that's unusual. You talk about you don't 681 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 1: like it. I think why I don't like It's like 682 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: the NFC. You know what happened. You know what happened. 683 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,799 Speaker 1: They put the computer, put the schedule together, and they 684 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:48,920 Speaker 1: forgot to schedule the NFC East. Let's just sprinkle it 685 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:53,879 Speaker 1: all together. And oh that's crazy. Here's the other thing 686 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 1: Washington's fans are complaining about. Okay, last week they had 687 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: they played at Vegas. Vegas was coming off a Thursday 688 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 1: game the week before, so they had time to rest. 689 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,120 Speaker 1: This week, Washington is playing Dallas, and Dallas is coming 690 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,879 Speaker 1: off a Thursday game the week before. Now they did 691 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 1: it to Tampa Bay too, And I guess they thought 692 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: maybe Carolina was going to be really good, because they 693 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 1: play Carolina twice in the last three games. I just 694 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 1: didn't make sense. Well, when you throw this extra game 695 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:29,799 Speaker 1: in there, I don't think they knew what the heck 696 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 1: they were doing. After that. It's like they got tired, 697 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, let's start about with all 698 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 1: this energy. Look at this, Look at that them matchups 699 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 1: we got, we got through November and the great TV 700 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 1: by you know what I mean. After a while, Man, 701 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 1: this edge it's gonna grow back. You know, the computer 702 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 1: got tired, right. I was just trying to see if 703 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,759 Speaker 1: there was any other ones like that. I'm not coming 704 00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:00,279 Speaker 1: across too any of them. So that's pretty interesting. That's 705 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 1: so carry on if you carry you all right. So 706 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 1: in our last couple of minutes, here, all right, Washington, 707 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna take a up close look at Washington. The 708 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 1: next couple of days here, because this is a Washington 709 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 1: team that's now they're the hottest team in the NFC 710 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 1: right now four in a row. Tampa Bay's won three 711 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 1: in a row. Included in that four game winning streak 712 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:29,280 Speaker 1: is a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers four weeks. 713 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 1: No game was easy, I mean, every one of them 714 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 1: was a fight to the finish. But in what has 715 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 1: happened because the Cowboys struggled during that stretch pretty much. 716 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,359 Speaker 1: Here we sit with the Cowboys with a two game 717 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:46,359 Speaker 1: lead in the division, and this truly is an all 718 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 1: important game I think on Sunday at Washington because if 719 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,480 Speaker 1: the Cowboys win, they've got a three game league and 720 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 1: the Eagles are off this week, so it would be 721 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,799 Speaker 1: a three game lead over the Eagles as well. And 722 00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,200 Speaker 1: if they Cowboys lose, it's a one game lead. Right, 723 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 1: So it's a pretty important game. And so I know 724 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 1: we don't have much time. But what should the Cowboys 725 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:17,759 Speaker 1: be worried about with the Washington's pressure? No doubt, the 726 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,920 Speaker 1: Cowboys have to worry about pressure because they realize that 727 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 1: that is really when you take a look at it, 728 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 1: yea deak looks good against pressure, but that's been our 729 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,480 Speaker 1: Achilles heal because what it does it takes us out 730 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,720 Speaker 1: of our complete game plan. We throw well against the blitz, 731 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,759 Speaker 1: but we don't run well against the blitz, and so 732 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,439 Speaker 1: you still need the balance. And when it comes down 733 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 1: to it, by them blitzing the ball, they kind of 734 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,960 Speaker 1: predicate what we do offensively. I remember early in the 735 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,399 Speaker 1: season you had Keller Moore was so creative with not 736 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,840 Speaker 1: just plays but personnel. I don't know if the depth 737 00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,000 Speaker 1: has been affected, you know, by injuries and things that nature, 738 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,719 Speaker 1: but the person now that he's chosen and the packages 739 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,920 Speaker 1: that he always put on the field, it was very 740 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 1: confusing for the opposition. It seems like he has gone 741 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:14,000 Speaker 1: away from that creativity because now is when we need it, 742 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,080 Speaker 1: you know, when the pressure is getting on us, when 743 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 1: they we become predictable. We need to be unpredictable now. 744 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,680 Speaker 1: But I think we're tired to be unpredictable. When you 745 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,359 Speaker 1: played two games basically without your two best receivers, yeah, 746 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:33,200 Speaker 1: that's true. That hurts, and then you know also not 747 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 1: getting leads either. You're always in these type games. So 748 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: when you look at it, like I've always said before, 749 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 1: you go on spec That's why defensively, you know, we've 750 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 1: got to be together all three facets of the game 751 00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 1: or what. That's what gets you through moments like this. 752 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,840 Speaker 1: Some make sure that you don't make the mistakes you 753 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,839 Speaker 1: play like you getting dead against the Saints. You make 754 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,839 Speaker 1: sure that whatever problems you're having offensively, you better make 755 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:00,839 Speaker 1: up for them the defensive side. And they're not moving 756 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,839 Speaker 1: the ball off. Let's get Fay interceptions, right, they do 757 00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 1: bring pressure, but they act Cowboys actually have two more 758 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,160 Speaker 1: sacks than they do. Cowboys have twenty six sacks. They've 759 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:14,719 Speaker 1: got twenty. But here's maybe where the difference is their 760 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:19,280 Speaker 1: quarterback pressures. They've got seventy seven. Now those are judged 761 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,480 Speaker 1: by the teams, so who knows what that means. But 762 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 1: they also at this point that could be blitz or 763 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 1: no blitz. Yeah, and and and then the other thing 764 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,640 Speaker 1: is they've got forty five passes defensed, meaning they've knocked 765 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,600 Speaker 1: down forty five. That's seems to be a lot. Well 766 00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,640 Speaker 1: you look at the Saints. Now, the Saints, we're covering 767 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,680 Speaker 1: us extremely closely, right in in man, Yeah, right, yes, 768 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,440 Speaker 1: so it was nothing we hadn't seen. Let me see 769 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:47,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys quarterback pressures. Oh, they didn't total them up for me. 770 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,520 Speaker 1: You I got time to add all that now you don't. 771 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:57,600 Speaker 1: But Micah Parsons leads with thirty and oh my goodness, 772 00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:05,200 Speaker 1: and that's crazy number passions. Guys. Masham has twenty three 773 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:09,640 Speaker 1: and Randy Gregory has twenty. So my quick math tells 774 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,280 Speaker 1: me that's seventy three right there. So maybe for quarterback 775 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,120 Speaker 1: pressure is there seventy seven isn't all that much? Well, 776 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:20,040 Speaker 1: the interesting thing about pressure is the fact that now 777 00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,439 Speaker 1: Washington doesn't have Montest Sweat this week, and they don't 778 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,600 Speaker 1: have Chase Young. But and the interesting thing about that 779 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,520 Speaker 1: is three out of the four games on this four 780 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,600 Speaker 1: game winning street, they haven't had Chase Young, who's out 781 00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:34,799 Speaker 1: for the year. Yeah, and maybe that's why they're blitz defensive. 782 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,279 Speaker 1: They can defensively. They have that same energy that the 783 00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys have on their front seven, and you have to 784 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,400 Speaker 1: admire that that's what kept him in all the games. 785 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:49,560 Speaker 1: Jack del Rio, defensive coordinator. Yes, the Washington football team, 786 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:52,880 Speaker 1: that's right. Ron Rivera does too, and that's what concerns 787 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:56,399 Speaker 1: me about that team. They're well coached football teams, all right. 788 00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:00,480 Speaker 1: We will have more mix shots at one thirty tomorrow 789 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:06,759 Speaker 1: right here from inside the SWBC podcast studio, Go Cowboys 790 00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:10,880 Speaker 1: Be Here. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys 791 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,560 Speaker 1: dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
