Speaker 1: it's your time forty seven. I saw you smile of

28
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: one of my favorite names of all time. Okay, Dexter

29
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: clink Scale. I thought you were gonna say Osaka Polite,

30
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: just because that's a great name. No, he's like, not

31
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: the number. I'm saying the name. Go ahead, Dexter clink Scale.

32
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: It sounds like something from Madden Mode and franchise, like

33
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, generate a player. Well, actually clever last night.

34
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: I actually everyone now and again, I just like to

35
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: look at some old YouTube videos whatever. Something came out

36
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: from like nineteen eighty two and he made an interception

37
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: for a touchdown and I'm like, oh, Scale, Yeah, it

38
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: was not big in nineteen eighty two. Yeah, but what

39
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: about Lawrence Vickers? Sure him? No, I do remember the name.

40
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: Oh I don't remember. I thought you were here for

41
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: that game. No, that was the that was high. It's

42
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: a ninety game. Oh no, that's all that something else

43
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: the year before him, before me and getting forty seven's

44
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: on your radar. No, I'm like, I'm I'm drawing just

45
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: like I'm out. This is this is a really bad stretch.

46
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: I'm sting like forty two is probably the last. Not

47
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: what well, not what number did God? People are gonna

48
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: hate me? What God didn't wear? What number did Moose wear?

49
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: Forty eight? Okay, we'll get him. I was gonna say

50
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: Moose obviously it was in the forties, and then like

51
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: Barry Church and but nobody wants to wear a number

52
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 1: in the forties, and Terrence Newman as well, but drafted

53
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: and back in the nineties they draft third round. They

54
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: drafted get him Clayton Holmes that they thought was going

55
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: to be the name. He didn't work out so well,

56
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: end up on the Desperados. No, No, he didn't make

57
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: the rest. Nah, he had some It's funny like I

58
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: get an arguments with people all the time. I'm like,

59
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: the player makes the number. Any number will look cool

60
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: if the player is good. I firmly believe that. I

61
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: actually believe that too. But at the same I'm sorry

62
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: to make thirty six look good. If Tony Pollard was

63
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: still wearing thirty six, it would look bad ass because

64
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: he's a good player. Earl Campbell, Yeah, thirty six look

65
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: pretty good. Earl Campbell made thirty four look awesome, do it?

66
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: Earl Campbell made thirty four look awesome. Like, well, back

67
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: in the day, thirty four was a great four number number.

68
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just saying thirty two. Yeah, the player

69
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: can make the number. But at the same time, like

70
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: forty forty six, forty seven, forty a, forty nine, like, hey,

71
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: we'll lead it up tomorrow. Well, forty seven is dexter

72
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: clean scale. Forty eight we're gonna step it up. Just

73
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: we'll just be like moose and we'll go because there

74
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: really know a lot of options there, and we got

75
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff talk about. Okay, so here we go.

76
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Let's let's catch up on

77
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: some injuries. We got three names I want to throw

78
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: to you guys. You guys, tell me where they are

79
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: and what you expect for this weekend. Dak Prescott, what

80
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: are you hearing about Dak Prescott and where he is

81
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: in his recovery? Let me start because I I probably

82
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,839
Speaker 1: need to change a little bit of my opinion has

83
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: changed somewhat from you since yesterday. I think he's yeah,

84
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna play a little bit. I mean,

85
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: I do think he'll play. I don't. Again, I do

86
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: not think he will be normal. Is not gonna be normal, Dak,

87
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he'll be running any like.

88
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: Is there anybody that's normal at this point? I don't think.

89
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: I think he's got it's gotta be wide open for

90
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: him to run. I don't. I just don't think he's

91
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: gonna be looking to run. I don't. I bet you

92
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: that sneaks. Let me ask you this, Does that affect

93
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: his mobility in the pocket because he does move around

94
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: and look to throw. Are you saying you don't expect

95
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: him to do a lot of that. No, he'll have

96
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: to do that if he's gonna play it. But I

97
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: just I just feel like, and I think he is

98
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: going to play. I think it's more encouraging than what

99
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: I thought. But I'm saying I'm just gonna say it.

100
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: He's got to be careful with it because it can

101
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: it can just come up and grab you at any time,

102
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: and so that's that's the one thing that's kind of alarming. Well,

103
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: I really think and I was thinking about this on

104
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: my drive up here, because we do we do these

105
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: hits with one oh five three in the morning, and

106
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: they ask us, what's that good hit this morning? Thanks,

107
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: they ask us, but they ask us a ton of

108
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: questions about player availability. And I mean, I get that,

109
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: and we have a sense, but I really do. I

110
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: think people forget that this is an evolving conversation, like

111
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: I do. I think Dak's gonna play I think again,

112
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: you read context clues. He stepped out. He stepped out

113
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: of the facility yesterday during media availability in front of

114
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: the whole Cowboys beat probably thirty reporters and the team nutritionists.

115
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: Scott they had a private bet where Scott would Scott

116
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: agreed to run win sprints and do a bunch of

117
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: work like calistenics and stuff in exchange for Dak going

118
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: to his kids little league game and breaking them down.

119
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: And I mean, that's that's fun. Like if you know

120
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback of the Cowboys well enough that you can

121
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: kind of bribe him to break down your kids little

122
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: league game, Like how cool is that? But talk about

123
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: that in a second too. That speaks a lot towards that,

124
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: But he's not doing that if he's not feeling pretty good,

125
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: he's just not. He came out in slides with no

126
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: boot on, and Clarence Hill and some of the other

127
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: reporters are kind of heckling him from a distance, like

128
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: why don't you come over here and talk to us,

129
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: and he's like, why would why would I give that away? Today?

130
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: He's not doing that. If he's not feeling pretty good

131
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: about where he's at, he's just not. And then you

132
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: talk to other people in the organization, you have conversations,

133
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: maybe you see some things like that. I do think

134
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna play, but they haven't practiced yet, and so

135
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: if he goes through a full practice regiment today and

136
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: halfway through practice it's bothering him. The conversation changes. So

137
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: you have an inkling on Tuesday, but that can totally

138
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 1: change based on the workload. And I do think there's

139
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: a threshold that he needs to clear by probably Friday,

140
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: and we'll know more then. So maybe that sounds like

141
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: a cop out, but he's got to go through two

142
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: days of practice without having it bother him, and I

143
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: think that's important. To remember, well, they had a light

144
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: practice yesterday close to the media, and from what it

145
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: sounds like he was able to do a little bit

146
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: enough where Jerry Jones was encouraged to buy it. And

147
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's Monday, and if if you know, they

148
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: could have easily just kept him out and not on

149
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: his feet and all that. So if he is doing

150
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: some things throwing the ball around, that that's a that's

151
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: a good sign. Um. I don't think he'll do a

152
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: lot of running right now. I mean, because you have

153
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: a full week, you know, you have six more hours

154
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: than you normally would because it's a Sunday night game

155
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: as well. So I think all things, the signs are

156
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: encouraging that he's going to be able to do something here.

157
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: I still think I'll be surprised if he's if he's

158
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: at full mode, if we're not, like I don't even

159
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: know he's hurt. I think you'll see a little bit

160
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: of that. But that's okay. If he's ninety percent eight percent,

161
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: that's better than I think it's better than what you

162
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: have with Cooper Rush, just because of the dynamics of

163
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: the entire offense and what and how it's just working.

164
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: So well, I said today. I mean, if he's if

165
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: he's at a percent, that's good enough for me, because

166
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: nobody's at one hundred percent anyway. So if you assume

167
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: you're regularly at somewhere between ninety and one hundred eighty,

168
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: I can live with eighty. Yeah, it was interesting both

169
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: of you guys. I think hit the nail on the

170
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: head when you see when you kind of qualified it.

171
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: I heard Jerry Jones this morning on Sean and RJ

172
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: on one or five dot three. He was saying something similar.

173
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: He said, you know, he said, I think about some

174
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: of the these injuries that I've heard, and I think

175
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: he was mentioning Zach, but he was saying, you know,

176
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: what he'd heard was there are mornings you wake up

177
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: and you feel great and it feels like you can

178
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: do everything you normally do. And then the next day

179
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: you might wake up and it feels like you got

180
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: hit by truck. Like it's just it's not a it's

181
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: not one of those injuries that seems like it's just

182
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: always Yeah, I feel good today, That means I'm gonna

183
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: feel even better tomorrow. And I see you over there

184
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: looking like that. But I think that's kind of your

185
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: experience as well. It's just it's one of those things.

186
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: It's just like hello, I'm still here. Hi. Oh yeah,

187
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: don't forget about me. It's like wamam, Well yeah I

188
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: was coming. Yeah. So I think that all signs are

189
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: certainly positive in it, and it looks like it looks

190
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: like they're progressing in the right way. Uh. It certainly

191
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: sounds like he's actually moving around, which is a positive sign.

192
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: We'll see how that progresses throughout the week. Yeah, we'll

193
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: go back to Dak real quick because I have a

194
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: feeling how that whole thing went was um and and

195
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: the nutritionist, Scott he Um probably asked, you know, he

196
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: probably said, hey, my son, you're his you know, favorite

197
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: player or whatever, and then have a game and can

198
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: you come to the game and break him down in

199
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: the huddle and all that, And Dak probably said, all right, yeah,

200
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: I could do that, but what are you gonna do?

201
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: You know, He's like you need to do? You know,

202
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: probably do these wren sprints or whatever and all that,

203
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: which I hope the sun realizes what Dad's out there

204
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: doing running around. But Dad was like cheering him on,

205
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: like goes out there and he's yelling, He's like, let's

206
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: go in his clappings like very facetiously oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

207
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: But I just I just love that that he's able

208
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: to you know, that he does things like that. And

209
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: you know, I still can't get over the tie and

210
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: sech golf tournament thing. You know, like when Tian Secky

211
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: got here and I think he had a golf tournament.

212
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: Nobody knows this guy and he's here and he's a

213
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: new player and Deck shows up. He's he's the ultimate teammate.

214
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: And not just to players, but to the football staff

215
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: and that community and that that group and the other

216
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: thing I'll point out about that And this is not

217
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: I'm not taking a shot at anyone else, um, but

218
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: we have seen over the years, uh specifically with the

219
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: quarterback take it. As time goes and they become more

220
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: entrenched as the starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, they

221
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: change and that a lot of that I think happens

222
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: because you've got so many people pulling at you, you

223
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: got so many people asking things of you. You have

224
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: to adapt to that and and kind of take control

225
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: of yourself in order to make sure you're not just

226
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: completely stretched. Then Dak has done that he has certainly

227
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: like tightened the boundaries of what he's willing to do

228
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: and not doing those kinds of things. But Dak as

229
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: as as far as what he has represented to certainly

230
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: what I've seen has not changed, Like he's been the

231
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: same dude. He's been that dude from the moment he

232
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: arrived all the way to the current moment. And that's

233
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: the part I appreciate it about him the most, is

234
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: that he just seems to be the same dude, which

235
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: I love authentic people. He's just an authentic person. I

236
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: just want to throw out there to which I thought

237
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: about this because I had to figure out a way

238
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: to put that in a tweet yesterday, which it's a

239
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: lot when you're dealing with a character limit. But he's tech.

240
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: The director of sports Performance, Scott centered And and I'll

241
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: throw a shout out to his assistant as well, the

242
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: assistant dietitian Claire Gilbert, who actually went to LSU. I

243
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: just think it's interesting, like there's an army of people

244
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: that make this thing go and Scott and Claire are

245
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: a big part of it. I always laugh like they

246
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: they are running around throughout the game, like helping get

247
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: stuff for the players on the sideline getting the postgame

248
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: meal ready. Like there's whole people that like don't even

249
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: see the operation to this thing is crazy. You don't like,

250
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: you don't see the game because you're making sure sixty

251
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: people have a burrito or whatever the meal is that

252
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: night that they can grab on their way to the bus.

253
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: And it's cool that it pays off for them in

254
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: ways because lord knows, I mean the equipment guys, the video, Like,

255
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: the hours that you put in working for a football

256
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: team is insane. So shout out, shout out to them

257
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: for being the faceless people who make all this go.

258
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 1: Let me go back to what you were saying. You

259
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: weren't saying it. I'll say it, Tony Romo to me,

260
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: I'll say it. I'll say it, Tony Romo. I don't

261
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: know if he changed his life changed. I mean, I mean,

262
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: he was the backup quarterback that was sitting there just

263
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: talking to people in the locker room, and then all

264
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden, yeah yeah right, he was playing. He

265
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: was playing our flag football team, you know, played well

266
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: to the playoffs and then um wow, that's what happened.

267
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: It's what it's what happened. Number nine. I love Tony.

268
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: I I would caddy for him if he needed me too,

269
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: which I did. No, I love Tony, But I'm saying

270
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: his life changed, So how how do you react to that?

271
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: How do you handle it? It's not like all of

272
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: a sudden he just changed everything. Now he's getting asked

273
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: to judge Miss America contests, So his life changed and

274
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: he kind of he had to adapt with it and

275
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: did it. You know, that's what happens. Do you leave

276
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: put people behind you? You remember when you used to

277
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: do this. That's just the way it was. I just

278
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: applaud Dak for being able to sounds like being able

279
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: to handle it in a different way. And so I'm

280
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: not That's why I'm not I'm not trying to crucify

281
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: Tony Fresh. I'm not judging anyone. Yeah, I mean, his

282
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: life changed in a big way. Dak's life has changed too,

283
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: but he's he's kind of figured it out a little bit.

284
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: And you gotta remember too, DA's work a year. He's

285
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: like three weeks what three months into it. He's the man,

286
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: and by the way, when he was in college, he

287
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: was the man, so being a man was not something

288
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: new for him. Now he was a man in college.

289
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: He's awesome and and there's a lot of people that say, well,

290
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: he's not like this. Yeah, Dak and Tony are totally different,

291
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: and people compare him all the time. But I just

292
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: it's more about what Dak is, I don't think, than

293
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: what Tony is not. And I'm not trying to It's

294
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: really about what Dak has done here. Yea, all right,

295
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: let's let's get a couple of other injury updates. We

296
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: got a couple of guys there, all right, you were

297
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: trying to go down a list and we just went in, no, no, no,

298
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: that's fine. I knew you were going to take a

299
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: long time on deck, which we should. There are the

300
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: two other guys, though, we have to talk about Michael

301
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: Gallup Tristan Hill. Where are they in their returns? Michael

302
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: Gallup is supposed to practice tomorrow, um, and Tristan Hill

303
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: is as well. And we'll throw in Francis Bernard he's

304
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: obviously yeah, he's I completely forget about his name. He

305
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not on the same level Michael. Oh yeah,

306
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: but Gallup is starter. Tristan was a big piece of

307
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: the rotation, which you're right though, Bernard kind of shores

308
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: up your your linebacker numbers that we've been worried about.

309
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: So all three of those guys supposed to practice doesn't

310
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: mean they're on the roster again. It's a could Gallop

311
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: play Sunday theoretically, Yeah, but maybe he's not ready. I

312
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: think it just depends on how he looks. I should

313
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: know this is Semi Fihoko on the roster, Yes, Okay,

314
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: I think now, I mean second guessing myself. I should know.

315
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I know the roster is not what it

316
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: used to be. Ok We used to do like inactive

317
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: on Friday's. Like I wouldn't want to try to go

318
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: down there. There's one hundred different lists to put these ya, SEMy,

319
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: Simmy's still on the team. He's been inactive recently because

320
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: Malik Turner came back. One of those two guys is

321
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: probably not going to be on the roster if I

322
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: can't imagine at this point, I just I can't imagine

323
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: that they risk losing Semi. And I know, I mean,

324
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: I know we overanalyze that, you probably can, but they've

325
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: carried him this long. Yeah, it certainly seems like his

326
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: development is a piece of this whole thing. Knowing that Cedric, Noah,

327
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: and Gallop are all slated for free agency, I just

328
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: I would be kind of surprised at this point, but maybe,

329
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta do what you gotta do in

330
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: the course of the season. I want to talk about

331
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: one other guy, and I want to put a pin

332
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: in Michael Gallop for a second, because I think what

333
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm about to talk about with Lyle Collins, I think

334
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: could possibly be a similar conversation for Michael Gallop. He's

335
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: obviously Lyle Collins is obviously back on the active roster

336
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: now after his five week suspension, and there have been

337
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: comments from Jerry and Stephen this week that suggests that

338
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: there's a possibility at least that he doesn't start, mainly

339
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: from the idea of, hey, why rush it. If he

340
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: looks a little rusty, if he needs to work back in,

341
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: we don't have to rush him back into the lineup.

342
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: The first question is do you think he starts this week?

343
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: And then I want to talk about it from the

344
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: standpoint of both he and Gallop. Is this the right

345
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: approach when you got a guy it's already in there.

346
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson's playing well, Terrence still play is playing well.

347
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: Do you take the right approach with this of letting

348
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: those guys kind of ease back in. Maybe Gallup isn't

349
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: even active this week. They don't have to necessarily make

350
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: him active right now, and you just kind of let

351
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: those guys ease back in rather than rushing him back

352
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: in because the guys who replaced them are playing well.

353
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: Can I just say, I really I know you're trying

354
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: to kind of marry the two together, but I really

355
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: think these are completely different situations. All which one do

356
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: you want to take? Day you I'll do what you

357
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: don't do the receiver. I'll talk about the receiver position. Though.

358
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: They can figure out how to get Gallop in there,

359
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: just like they getting set looks like they were getting

360
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: Cedric in there, like that Norah Brown kind of fits

361
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: into it. You can figure out a ways to kind

362
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 1: of do that in some way, give him some snats

363
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: that snaps to, you know, ease back into this. So

364
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: that's why I kind of feel like it's a completely

365
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: different situation of making the move, you know, because either

366
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: one of them not I mean, because these receivers won't

367
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: be the starter or be the third guy. So the

368
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: third and fourth guy is not that. I mean, I'm

369
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: not saying it's not big a deal because it's a

370
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: huge deal for mismatches and stuff like that, but I

371
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: think there's ways to get him and Millie Turner was

372
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: getting in, so I think you can get Gallop in

373
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: there in his own kind of way and getting ease

374
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: him back into it. I don't think it's a different

375
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: with the right tackle, I agree, but I do think

376
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: it kind of plays into what we said about Dak

377
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: is that's what this week is four And I actually

378
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: it's funny because I think I think the Jones has

379
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: played that the right way. But by not just saying like, yeah,

380
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: Lyle will be right back in there, then that does

381
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: the other thing where it creates a quote unquote controversy

382
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: about like, well maybe maybe Terrence Steel is going to

383
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: keep his job. And I think it's really more along

384
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: the lines of this guy's played one game since twenty

385
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: nineteen and then he took five weeks off and you

386
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: just want to see where he is. Every report, every

387
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: indication that I've heard is that Lyle, I mean, he's

388
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: been allowed back in the building since like week three,

389
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: so I think his conditioning is good. I think he's

390
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: ready to hit the ground running, but you know, you

391
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: don't need him to if he's not ready, And so

392
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: they're just like, we can keep our options open. We

393
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,479
Speaker 1: can practice Terrence, we can practice Lyle. If he just

394
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: looks like a boss and he's ready to go right away,

395
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: he could play Sunday. If he's not, that's no problem either.

396
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: And I actually this wasn't related to Lyle at all.

397
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: It was about it was when Tyrone was hurt. Mike

398
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: McCarthy kind of he didn't laugh at me, but I

399
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: could tell he didn't think it was a great question,

400
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: which wasn't the first time or last, No, not at all.

401
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: That's okay, Yeah, that's the point sort of you try

402
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: to ask good questions. They're not all gonna be great.

403
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: But he I asked about like Inseci playing left tackle

404
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: because Tyrone was limited or whatever, and he made the

405
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: point again he didn't laugh, but he was like, this

406
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: is kind of obvious that they practice all of those

407
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: guys anyway, And if you remember training camp, they move

408
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: them up and down as well, like even when everybody's healthy,

409
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: they were given guys looks. So I think Lyle will

410
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: practice with the first team this week. I bet no.

411
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: I know Terrence Steele probably will as well, and so

412
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: you don't have to make that decision on Wednesday. There's

413
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: another element to this that I think is always a thing.

414
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: It's always a thing with the Cowboys. And when it

415
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: comes to talking to the media, Jerry and Stephen talk

416
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 1: a lot for owners and general managers and you know,

417
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: well whatever that were weekly shows multi multiple times they're

418
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: they're on each of them are on the radio at

419
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: least twice a week. They talked more in a given

420
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: week than most owners do in a in a year, really,

421
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: because the average NFL owner talks at the owners meetings

422
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: and maybe the combine and and like once at training camp,

423
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: and that's all you ever hear from him. And and

424
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: I would say, and this for this, they're the GM

425
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: you know, talk to either way. They talk a lot.

426
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: And there's been I'm not saying it's happened so much

427
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: this year. Maybe there was one time I can't remember

428
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: what it was where Mike said something and Jerry kind

429
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: of said something different. I forgot. Do you remember what

430
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: it was? It was? Yeah, because it's something it was

431
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: about it was an injury. It was injury related, like

432
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: Mike was, you know, trying to do the coach thing

433
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,959
Speaker 1: and keep it close to the chest, and Jerry like

434
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: the next day it was like, well, yeah, he's so start.

435
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: So I don't remember who it was. I don't remember either,

436
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: but I mean, it happens. It's always kind of happening.

437
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: It's happened, it happened for you for years. And so

438
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is is would when they say, well,

439
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: well we'll see about that, we'll see, let's let's let

440
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy address that. It's not necessarily like I'm not

441
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: trying to answer this. It's more like, sorry, you're right, Mike,

442
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: you address these. And now we're dealing with a coach

443
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: that doesn't want to tell you anything. He doesn't want

444
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: to tell you what he had for lunch today because

445
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: he just feels like somebody might change it, might might

446
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: like take that into something, you know. So that's that's

447
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: where the rub is. It's not just about trying to

448
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 1: be really coy about it. It's like, well, you know,

449
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: the head coach is supposed to announce this, he doesn't

450
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: want to announce it because he doesn't have to. So

451
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: that's where I think some of this is. I do

452
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: think if elc proves that he's healthy and conditioned and

453
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: ready to go, that he'll be in the starting lineup.

454
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: That's just my guess, but I guess you know, we'll see.

455
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: All Right, We're gonna take our first break. When we

456
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: come back. Let's talk about the NFC. There are five

457
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 1: teams Arizona, Green Bay, Tampa Bay, Los Angeles Rams, and

458
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys who are sitting at the top of the division.

459
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: I want to ask you guys, where the Cowboys rank

460
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: in that list and who could give them problems. We'll

461
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,760

463
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,760

464
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,960

Speaker 1: gonna We're going up is left. Welcome back. It is

512
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: the second segment of the Break Life from s WBC

513
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: Mortgage Studios. At the start, let's talk about the NFC.

514
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: There are five teams sitting at the top of this

515
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 1: division and they all are looking really, really good. Right now,

516
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: You've got Arizona, who is seven and oz and then

517
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: you got all the next four teams who all have

518
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: one lost, Green Bay, Tampa Bay, Los Angeles Rams, and

519
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. What do you think Dallas falls in

520
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: this mix of these five teams sitting atop the division,

521
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: I mean the conference. I'm gonna take your question and

522
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: I'm gonna turn it so that I don't really have

523
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: to answer. Yeah, I just said I I don't know.

524
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. Arizona looks scary. The second place team

525
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: in their division might be the most complete team in

526
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: the league for my money, just with what Matthew Stafford's

527
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: doing for the Rams and what they have on defense, Packers, Bucks,

528
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: you get it. But I said this Sunday Night more

529
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: so than the higher key of how those teams fall.

530
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: Nobody's in a better spot than the Cowboys, just in

531
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: terms of their outlook. Like I'm not talking about how

532
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: good they are or their record. They play in the

533
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: East they have. I mean, look at Arizona's seven and

534
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: oh and they've got a team breathing down their neck

535
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: the Bucks have. The Saints are gonna be pesky. They

536
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 1: play this week, by the way, Green Bay, maybe they're

537
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: in a similar spot. My point just being is like

538
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can realistically start thinking about locking up the

539
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: division now and we can worry about the buy and

540
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: all that type of stuff when it happens. But I mean,

541
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: you only got to win like four more games to

542
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: assure yourself of a home playoff game. I mean maybe

543
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: that's an exaggeration, but maybe not. I mean, if these

544
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: teams keep losing, like, that's what I'm saying, and so

545
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: all I'm all I say by that is like I

546
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: don't know where they fall in the in the standings,

547
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: but they have the easiest path of anybody in the

548
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: NFC to playing a home playoff game, and that's exciting.

549
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: I think. I think it's very important to get out

550
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: of that fourth spot. Yeah, I mean, you need to

551
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: be better than fourth of those of the division winners.

552
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: If you're gonna win the division. Obviously you got to

553
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: do that, and they look like they're gonna have a

554
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: great chance to do that. But you can't be fourth

555
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: because because there's five teams right now, they're showing that

556
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: they're good and and if it's like you said, it

557
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: could be the Rams or it could be the Cardinals.

558
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: One of those two could be the fifth place team

559
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: and come in and play the Cowboys right off the bat.

560
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's supposed to be a wild card game,

561
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: and that thing would be a four or five games

562
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: gonna be. Yeah, it's like the difference between maybe playing

563
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: that team or playing maybe the the Vikings or or

564
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: whoever else ye saying, and that will be a tough game.

565
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: I mean that's not obviously it will be playoffs. Um,

566
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying no. But there's a there's a

567
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: big difference between second, third, and fourth, and obviously a

568
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: big difference for one to get to buy, but two,

569
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: three and four, you don't want to be that fourth spot.

570
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: The best the best wild card team and it's early,

571
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: but the best wild card team is looking like it

572
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: could be a ten eleven, maybe twelve win team. So

573
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: that's a really good point. I didn't. I wasn't going

574
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: to rule out the forty nine ers either, but I

575
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: mean they had a tough loss. It's tough like back

576
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: back there. Those teams, I mean, conditions in that game

577
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: were pretty I'd rather too, so I'd rather solve like

578
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: the quadratic formula then try to figure out the Saints.

579
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 1: I don't know what they are. God, that was I

580
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: think I'm starting to know what they are. Like, well,

581
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: Sean Payton coach, keep expecting. And I told you this yesterday,

582
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: I think Dave, when we were all standing up there talking,

583
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't I don't ever want to

584
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: count out a Sean Payton coach team. But the more

585
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: I watched them play last night, I know they won,

586
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: But the more I watched them play last night, the

587
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: more I was like, this team doesn't scare me at

588
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: all at all. Okay, number one, No, I don't think

589
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: they should scare you. But if you're gonna give the

590
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: Niners credit for playing in a monsoon that, I mean,

591
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: that was gross last night. What they were playing with

592
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: Sunday night, I mean game Sunday night. Like literally, I

593
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: don't know if I've seen a game that had such

594
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: a heavy downpour the entire game. I'm just entire game,

595
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: I agree. I mean they played in a bomb cycle

596
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: and that bad worse. Yeah, it was a con setting

597
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: sidelines in twenty fifteen for Baylor TCU. It was an

598
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: absolute pneumoniable. It was unbelievable. I'm just saying this over

599
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: and see. I don't think the Saints and Seahawks got

600
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: more than fifteen minutes of clear skies, like it was

601
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: raining all night, more than what I mean, we're quickling here.

602
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: The Saints don't scary. Who does well out of this list?

603
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: I think Arizona is a scary team. And I know

604
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna sound crazy to people out there listening, who

605
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: are Cowboys fans who have lived through Aaron Rodgers. I'm

606
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: not as afraid of the Green Bay this year. I

607
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: think Green Bay's pretty good and they're great because they're

608
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: a coach. I mean, I'm sorry because of their quarterback

609
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: gonna play, but but that's not a team that I

610
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: look at it. I say, Dallas, the audacity, worried about

611
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: the audacity to say that you're not worried about Aaron Rodgers,

612
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: the absolute audacity market down They're going to play. Yeah,

613
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: and I'm okay, know they are. You know McCarthy's gonna

614
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: face Aaron Rodgers. You know Jalen Smith, if he's still

615
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: on the team, is gonna play for the You're gonna

616
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: play against the Cowboy, and I'll throw you one other.

617
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: I'm also not really that worried about the possibility. By

618
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: the way, all these seems are good. So don't get

619
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: me wrong. All of them are gonna be tough back.

620
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: But but you look at Tampa Bay. I would like

621
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: to see Dallas get another shot at them. I don't

622
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: think Dallas would be intimidated by them. And you mentioned

623
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: it yesterday, you get Zack Martin. I think that's a

624
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: different game. I think they run the ball a little

625
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: bit more. That gives them a little more balance, and

626
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: we see where they fall out again. I look at

627
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: this list and Arizona is the team I look at

628
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: and say, of this list, if I had to choose

629
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: which team I don't want to play, Arizona is a

630
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: team I think the rams of the team I wouldn't

631
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: want to play. Yeah, if you're Arizona did to them,

632
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: I know, I mean, I'm I'm I'm with it. I mean,

633
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: Arizona is gonna be tough. But if I had to

634
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: just choose a place that the Cowboys would go on

635
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: a playoff, definitely Arizona because it's it's it will be

636
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: a ton of fans because as great as the season

637
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: as they're having, you still gotta go buy the playoff tickets.

638
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: You still got to you got to purchase them, and

639
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: so Cowboy fans could get in there too. Hey, I'll

640
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: take much chance with Kylin Murray in his first playoff game.

641
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: That's saying great, But that's the part that scares me.

642
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: You look at all these other quarterbacks and the dimension

643
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: that he adds to the game makes him such a

644
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: tough matchup. Don't get and I'm not I'm not trying

645
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: to say he's better than Aaron Rodgers. That's not what

646
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying at all. What I'm saying is it's just

647
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: a different kind of dimension. You have to do things

648
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: differently when you're facing that team because of what that

649
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: quarterback can do with his legs. And in addition to that,

650
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: he's got weapons. Everywhere. You talk about the Cowboys being loaded,

651
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: they got a ton of weapons out there in Arizona,

652
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: and then they just added Zach Ertz who had a

653
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: big play for him last weekend. I just look at

654
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: that offense and I'm like, that offense probably reminds me

655
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: as much of the Cowboys offense as any of the

656
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: offenses that you look at, just with their ability to

657
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: kind of do a lot of different things. And I mean,

658
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: I get we're just riffing and having fun and I'm

659
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: a big ere, but I did, like, I just I

660
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: hate these conversations because going back to your point about

661
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: the Saints, Yeah, they don't scare me right now either.

662
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: It's not even Halloween. Michael Thomas is going to factor

663
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: into their plans at some point. Well I didn't even

664
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: do that on purpose, but they're gonna get Michael Thomas back.

665
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: People are gonna get hurt. I think I brought this up.

666
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: If I didn't bring it up on this, she's got

667
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: a lot of defensive player back. This last I just

668
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,959
Speaker 1: brought it comes up. I mean, the Bucks were just

669
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: a middling team until about Thanksgiving last year. I think

670
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: about this. I brought this up when we were talking

671
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: about it yesterday. For my birthday in twenty eleven, my

672
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: parents got me tickets to see the Saints on Monday

673
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: Night football against the New York Giants. The Giants didn't

674
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: even look like they belonged on the same field with

675
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: the Saints. It was disgusting. Like the Cowboy game in

676
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, that's what it looked like. They ran them

677
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: out of the building forty twenty four. Six weeks later,

678
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: the Giants won the Super Bowl. And that's just that's

679
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: the type of stuff that I think about when we're

680
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: having these conversations. I know it's fun and I agree

681
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: with you. I mean, I don't think the Cowboys should

682
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: be intimidated by anybody in the NFC. I also know

683
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot more twists and turns to this whole

684
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: thing for before we even have to worry about who

685
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna plays. Is fluid. As my man Jock Taylor

686
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: always says, I think as of right now, and when

687
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: I ask these questions, I'm asking as of right now

688
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: what we're seeing. Who scares you? Yeah, I mean, Aaron

689
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: Rodgers should always scare you, Cowboys fan. I just want

690
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: to say that again. Yeah, I mean, and this is

691
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: this goes back to the where you know, are the

692
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys a real complete team? Because my first thought is,

693
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: would you rather go to Arizona. Would you rather go

694
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: to Green Bay? You know? And I look at it like,

695
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: I'd rather go to Arizona from a standpoint of a

696
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: lot of things. So you're you're facing an experienced quarterback

697
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: in the playoff, You're facing you're gonna have a good

698
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: weather a situation there to to function your offense. But

699
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: then I start thinking, is that a good thing? Because

700
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can play in any any kind of thing.

701
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if you say, let's say you go to

702
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: Green Bay and it's one of these, you know, Blizzard

703
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: type of games, I think I would rather have the

704
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense though, I mean, yeah, that's not going to

705
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: be what he normally is, but they're built to play

706
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: any kind of style. And so McCarthy said that recently.

707
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: I don't remember what he was talking about, but he

708
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, we're a Dome team, which is technically true.

709
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: But I don't think of them that way, you know,

710
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,720
Speaker 1: Like I don't think of them as having this offense

711
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: that can't travel, because we've seen them lean on the

712
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: run already a lot this year. So I think if

713
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,439
Speaker 1: they got in it, and really, what are we talking

714
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: about here? Just just Green Bay? I mean of all

715
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: these teams who would be a bad weather game literally

716
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: just screen. I mean, Tampa could rain of it now,

717
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: but it'll be to be seventy degrees. It'll be sixty

718
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: five degrees. It will rain in Tampa. Yeah. That's of

719
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: the teams that look likely to be in the playoff

720
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: picture in the NFC, Green Bay is the only one

721
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: where you would think there would be bad weather and

722
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: less and less an NFC's team makes it as a wildcard,

723
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: which looks really unlikely right now, because even you know

724
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: the Vikings play indoors, they're h I mean Seattle and

725
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: San Francisco, I guess, but again they don't. They're not

726
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: looking too promising my own games, No, at least not

727
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: off the yet, which again and same thing Washington. I'm

728
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: just I'm just keeping an eye there because, like Fitzpatrick

729
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: is due back at some point right and there, you

730
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: would imagine their defense can get it together at some

731
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: point as well. It seemed like I didn't watch the

732
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: whole game against Green Bay, but it seemed like they

733
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: played them tougher than they've played some other games. I mean,

734
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: holding them to twenty four points on the road. It

735
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: was in Lambeau. My point being is just like they

736
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: shot themselves in the foot offensively, is what they did.

737
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: Washington just has the potential, I think, to where we

738
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: could look up in a month and be like, oh damn,

739
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: they're like they're they're five and six, like or you know,

740
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: they're five and seven, like they're still they're still alive.

741
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: I wouldn't surprise me or the Giants. No, I don't.

742
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: I do not buy them. I don't. I don't know.

743
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: I don't I've been saying it. I mean I I

744
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: don't believe in Daniel Jones. I know I don't believe

745
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: in the Giants at all. Um, can I just say,

746
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: whoever are Joe and Flower Mound would be the guy

747
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: that's that's mad right now? Gary and Grapevine, Gary and Grapevine.

748
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: We know that they play the Vikings this week, and

749
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: we know that the Vikings are good, and we know

750
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: that they we'll get to that tomorrow Tuesday, and we're

751
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: going to get tomorrow. All the guys over there they're

752
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 1: already talking. Okay, we're we know they're good. It's going

753
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: to be it. They will. They will dominate our conversation

754
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: for the rest of the week. Starting to think I mean,

755
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: just from our perspective, which this is kind of rare too.

756
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 1: The Vikings were off as well, so we don't even

757
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: have a Vikings game to analyze. So from last week,

758
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: it's Tuesday, the team's off. We got Yeah, we'll be

759
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: neck deep in Vikings. I said this yesterday. If the

760
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: if this game, if this game isn't in doubt with

761
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: five minutes left to play, I'll be surprised. I mean,

762
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: it's a tough place to play. I think they're better

763
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: than their record indicates that they are. Yeah, I think

764
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: this is this might be I don't want to say

765
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: a wake up call, but you know, the Cowboys have

766
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: just kind of been on this fun role. I don't.

767
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: I don't think this game is gonna be fun. They

768
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: might win, but I don't think like you're gonna be

769
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: stressed when it gets down to crunch time. Yeah. And

770
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: the good thing about it is is they have I mean,

771
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,720
Speaker 1: the bad part about it is they have an offense

772
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: with the great receivers and they have Kirk Cousins. The

773
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: good thing is is they have Kirk Cousins. Because I

774
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: don't I'm not. I mean, he's playing well, but I

775
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: mean I'm taking he'll he'll give it up for you,

776
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: although he hasn't doing it this Sho has not been

777
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: giving it up this season. Maybe this is the game

778
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: he begins. Maybe he hasn't faced right. Yeah, but but

779
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,959
Speaker 1: he only had I think he has two interceptions. He's

780
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: not he doesn't. He doesn't have to throw interceptions. He

781
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not necessarily interception. He struggles in the

782
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: fourth quarter sometimes, I've seen it. We've seen enough games

783
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: we did. Last year. He dominated that game last year.

784
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: I mean they were up and down the field with

785
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: those cornerbacks that shouldn't even be in the league and

786
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: they're not in the league anymore. But then in the

787
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: at the end after the Cowboys, Shoult scored a touchdown

788
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: to take the lead, Like here we go. They got

789
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: plenty of time and it was like three or four

790
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: now yeah, and we got to pull it up. I mean,

791
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: his his record in primetime games is it's not good. Yeah,

792
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: he doesn't really not. It might be a big fact

793
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: there for for Clarity's sake. Again, I love the way

794
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: this all changes. Like Week one, they losing overtime to

795
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and you're like, oh, that they probably should have

796
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: won that. Well, Cincinnati's on top of the North right now.

797
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: And then they probably gave Arizona their closest game of

798
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: the year and they lost on the last play. They lost.

799
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: They played a terrible game against Cleveland, which again is

800
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: I know, their records not great, but that's a talented team.

801
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 1: That that's three plan I mean, which I mean they're

802
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: Their wins aren't great either though, Like they barely beat Detroit,

803
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: they barely beat Carolina. That's the way I was thinking

804
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 1: about Kansas City until they lost like that, like like

805
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: because I was thinking, look who Kansas City is lost to?

806
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 1: But then but then they they lost, I mean bad

807
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: to the type the way they lost last week is

808
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: more telling than that they lost. Yeah, I would have

809
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: been I would have thought, did I just see what

810
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: was that? I don't know, I saw somebody in a

811
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: cost I don't know. I don't really even want to know.

812
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna take our final Caen, we come back.

813
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: I have another question, Like a few years ago, I'm

814
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: gonna ask you guys a question about what position the

815
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys should be looking for in a trade if you

816
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: think there is one before the trade deadline. We'll talk

817
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: about that when we come right back next. This is

Speaker 1: Mortgage Studios at the Star. We only have a few

860
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: more minutes left. But I did promise that I would

861
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: get to some questions from some fans, and so I

862
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: got one question I want to hit you guys with

863
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: before we end this show. This one came from Devin

864
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: on Twitter, Devin Delgado. He says, what position could the

865
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: Cowboys look to trade for that would push us over

866
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: the top? Trade deadline I think is next week November

867
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: second Tuesday, next week. Um, And so that being said,

868
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: where do you think the Cowboys should look if they

869
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: were like, hey, we just got one position. If we

870
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: addressed this position, it can push us over the top,

871
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: and we think will be perfectly suited to be a

872
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl winner. I blame Jerry Jones for this because

873
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: he talks about Charles Haley so much. He's like, that's

874
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: what pushed us over the top, and that's and so

875
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: we do this all the time. But you've talked about

876
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: this before, David, unfairness, you've talked about the Giant I'm sorry,

877
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: not Johns. The Eagles and what they did the year

878
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: they won the Super Bowl. When you kind of go

879
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: all in you find that guy. But it was it

880
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: was the running back that year that they picked up.

881
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: What I love about the Eagles is like they're aggressive,

882
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: but they don't they don't quote unquote go all in

883
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: like what like they do calculated stuff. Like what I

884
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: love that they did the year that they won that

885
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowl was they traded like mid draft picks for

886
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: Timmy Jernegan, who at the time was a really disrupt

887
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: to defensive tackle. That's the type of stuff I wo,

888
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: which this could be that kind of stuff, like you're

889
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: not going out and getting a guess, a level player, right,

890
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 1: which when you say when you say push us over

891
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 1: the top, that's what I think and're arguing semantics, it's

892
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 1: not an Amari Cooper type of true. I'm not going

893
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: to do that, right Yeah, but I guess that's what

894
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: I mean. It's like, I'm not out here looking for

895
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: big but who could you? Who could you? Maybe what position?

896
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: I'm not who, but what position could you possibly be

897
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: looking at you think could have an immediate impact and

898
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: make you a team that you're like, Man, if that

899
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: hole is short up, I think this team is well

900
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: on its ways. Like six positions like that, Okay, I

901
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: mean every position that you that you don't and this

902
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: is a good football team. But not every position is

903
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 1: gonna have a guy in the Pro Bowl obviously, so

904
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: any of those, any of those guys like a center,

905
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: a guard. The only problem about those two is that

906
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: you're talking about continuity, and it might not be the

907
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: easiest thing to just plug a guy in and say

908
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: he's way better. I don't know about that, but you could.

909
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,240
Speaker 1: You could practice him, get him read, and by December

910
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: he could be way better. Right in a perfect Yeah,

911
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: I mean center comes to mind. What we're not going

912
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,399
Speaker 1: to say names, but if you're if you follow the league,

913
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: there are some veteran centers on some bad teams. Yeah,

914
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,959
Speaker 1: I mean, if that was capable of happening, I would

915
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: do it. But again, are the Cowboys in a place

916
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,399
Speaker 1: where they think they so drastically need that that they're

917
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 1: going to give up valuable assets for it. And the

918
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: better the player, the better the asset, Right, I don't

919
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: think so. I would have done I guess since he

920
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: already got trade. I think I would have done the

921
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: Gilmore thing. I would have done that, but they didn't.

922
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: I probably would have done the assuming they did their

923
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 1: homework on him. I would have done the Henderson thing

924
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:45,240
Speaker 1: that Caroline is just they got every cornerback that was available. Anyway,

925
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: I would have done that. But those situations are hard

926
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: to find because like the team that has him has

927
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 1: to be willing to trade him, the price has to

928
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: be okay, and you have to be able to fit

929
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: it under your cap, and so the better the player.

930
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: That's what makes that more difficult, because can you take

931
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: on eight million for Stefan Gilmore? Probably maybe if you

932
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: really want to, But do they want to center? If

933
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: there was another cornerback that was available, I would be interested.

934
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: I don't think there is. When I'm out defensive tackle,

935
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what you think right now. But Tristan

936
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: Hills up coming back now, well, Gallamor will be back soon. Like,

937
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: I don't feel some sort of drastic need there. You know,

938
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: we've seen the Cowboys do it. They did it with

939
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper. But they did that and they said it

940
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,919
Speaker 1: a thousand times. Why they did it. It was because

941
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: he's twenty four years old, and they said, this is

942
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 1: going to be a future guy. This isn't just to

943
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 1: help us now, which it certainly did help him now,

944
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: but it still is. So it still is this It

945
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: would be one of those type of things. I still

946
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: think that's the case here, even though this team's five

947
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: and win and maybe need a guy to over the top,

948
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I still think you got to

949
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: look at a player like, hey, we're gonna get this guy.

950
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: Maybe he's on the last year of his deal, because

951
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: usually that's how you trade guys, it's the last year

952
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: or two on their contract to make it easy for

953
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: them to trade. But I still think it's a guy like, hey,

954
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: he's still twenty six, he's twenty seven, he's going into

955
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: a second contract. He's a guy will probably want to resign,

956
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: So it would have to be a good situation that way.

957
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: I really loved. And this is the framing that we're

958
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: getting from Jerry Jones, which I love, is you're getting

959
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 1: a lot of talent back over the second half of

960
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: the season that you didn't have in the first a

961
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: thousand yard receiver in Michael Gallup a fifty games starting

962
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: right tackle, and Lyle Collins promising young defensive two promising

963
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 1: young defensive tackles Gallimore and more so than Hill. But

964
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: that's still two guys that were drafted highly and then

965
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: further down the line and all Pro defensive end and

966
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: another defensive end too, and George Arms or arms ND

967
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: as well, And so it's probably better than Basham, Yeah,

968
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: I think so. Well, look at the how much they

969
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 1: were playing in before you got hurt. Yeah, and so

970
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: when you and there's gonna be other injuries that offset that,

971
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: and I get that, But that's that's a lot of

972
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: talent that's coming back to your roster. And like almost

973
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: none of those literally none of those guys that I

974
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: just named hand in getting you to five and one,

975
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: Like Gallup and Lawrence played in week one, they didn't

976
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 1: have these amazing games. Lyle played week one as well,

977
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: but like, um, Gallimore hasn't played at all, Hill hasn't

978
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: played at all. Yeah. Um, that's that's a lot of

979
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 1: talent that's gonna be available to you in the next

980
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 1: month or so. You've got Kelvin Joseph, the second round

981
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: pick that everybody's clamoring to see he I think he

982
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 1: might play in this game. He's gonna be He's gonna

983
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: practice for the second week this week, so they I mean,

984
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing they've got to do is figure

985
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: out how to get them on the roster. I mean,

986
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: you you've got guys that you've got to figure out.

987
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you the toughest guy to get on

988
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 1: the roster and maybe is Josh Ball. We didn't even

989
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: mention that, but here's here's an offensive tackles coming back.

990
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: He's a rookie fourth round pick. He's gonna be on

991
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: the team. He's gonna be here. So you gotta can

992
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: you just leave a guy on ir like, do you

993
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: have to bring him back even if he's healthy. You

994
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 1: don't have to write there still is an eye off

995
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season, right, Yeah, well, I

996
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: think the way of your twenty one day and if

997
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: they don't if they're not ready, and the way it

998
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: works right for the rest of the season. Yeah, Well,

999
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: so you activate a guy's three week practice window and

1000
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: if you don't move him to the roster after that window,

1001
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 1: then he reverts to I R for the rest of

1002
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: the year. But if you don't even activate his practice window.

1003
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: I think he can just sit there as so, yeah,

1004
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 1: I would so I would assume he could. I mean,

1005
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,240
Speaker 1: obviously you want a young guy like Josh Ball practicing

1006
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: and getting better. But I'm just saying, you know, but

1007
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: rather than risk lose him, maybe well they're not, They're

1008
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: not going to lose him. There would do it. It

1009
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 1: would just figure it out. But I mean, yeah, you can.

1010
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: You can do that until they the league probably you

1011
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: start abusing it, you know what I mean like that,

1012
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: because that's it's already been hurt. So who's to say

1013
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: that's not right? Yeah, yeah, maybe they have to do

1014
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 1: a physical or something like that. But but yeah, I mean,

1015
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: that's another player that's coming back to the team that

1016
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he's an option to play though. I

1017
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: don't think that they would try to play. He's so

1018
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 1: far down the depth. I don't know how you. Yeah,

1019
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 1: that's I'm and he he is the forgotten man. But

1020
00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: with Lyle back on the team, they have four or

1021
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: experienced players at this point, really experienced players. Yeah, I

1022
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: don't know how, so, yeah, I wonder if he might

1023
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: just be camping out on IR for a little while. Yeah,

1024
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: all right, we appreciate you guys. Join us. We'll back tomorrow.
