We'll have 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:11.360 some injury updates here in just a few moments as well. 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.200 We got a little YETI time with ag that'll happen 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.640 in our second segment, and and we'll see where the 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:18.800 show goes. If we have time and Amber doesn't talk 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:20.840 too much, we will get to maybe some questions from you. 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.160 Guys already have a couple that have rolled in on 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.280 Twitter or x or whatever you want to call it, 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:27.520 and so maybe we'll get to some of those in 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:28.319 the final segment. 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:30.479 What's up, Ryan, No. 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:31.960 I had a question real quick. 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:36.040 Sure, is it okay to start looking at draft film 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:36.520 for you? 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:36.959 Yes? 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:39.479 Absolutely, jump in me to do whatever you want. 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.600 I just wondered because I think people kind of are 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.440 getting in that mode. But I've had people like listening. 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:49.400 The season ain't over, So I just kind of wondered 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:50.440 what you guys. 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:50.680 Thought about that. 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.160 Well'sase I've already looked at five guys look at it. 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.200 I look at it in two different ways. Number One, 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.440 I don't think necessarily like the Break is not about 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.560 to become the Draft Show right now. We're gonna still 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:03.640 We're gonna play this thing out because that's what we do. 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.040 We're going to talk about it every week. Sure, but 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.880 that doesn't mean that I don't want the folks that 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:10.280 are going to be on the Draft Show to not 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:14.079 be working on Draft Show stuff because that may come, 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:16.280 that may up a little faster than we think from 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.480 the standpoint of when we get that show cranked up, right, So. 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:20.400 Yeah, it's two different things. 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.079 Absolutely good and start watching, but we're not going to 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:24.640 turn the break into into the drift. 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.120 Well, I just you know, like I say, I usually 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.960 start on December first, and here I am starting on 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:30.920 November seven. 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:32.799 Now, they're honestly like, here's the thing. 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.639 I feel bad for the people that are still fighting 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.399 in the season. You know, they still feel like, hey man, 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.360 wait till the last game. And I and I respect that. 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:46.359 I respect that, but I also see in my reality 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.119 where I think this thing might go. 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.960 Yeah, but here's the thing, and I've I've learned this 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:54.080 over the years, and it's how I approach sports now. 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:57.440 It's not just with the Cowboys, it's also with the Longhorns. 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:02.120 For me, I look at sports as sports is my entertainment, 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.480 and I refuse to let it become my consternation. I 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:09.120 refuse to let it become my problem. Right, And so 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.120 that means every game I'm just watching to see if 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:13.760 I can enjoy something out of that game. 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:14.200 That's it. 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.720 That's it's nothing more, nothing less, because that's the healthy 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:19.760 way for me to be able to consume sports because 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.440 I've been in a place where I wasn't healthy, man, 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.320 and it ain't good for me or my family for 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.280 me to bene. 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.520 Now I know, but every weekend is going to be. 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:30.639 Yes and by the way, and by the way, that's 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:32.400 the way I look at it is that weekend is 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.280 isolated to that weekend. I'm not letting myself look forward 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:38.080 back whatever. I'm going to enjoy that weekend for that weekend. 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.040 If we win, great, if we don't, onto the next one, 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.240 Like I just I can't live in that world of 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:47.480 being too down about whatever is going wrong. 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:49.480 I just think there's a lot of fans out there 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.720 that are there still holding hope, and I don't want 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.320 to kill any hope. But I'm trying to also get 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.240 ready for something that might be really really major this spring, 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.360 you know, when you start to talk about where this 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:04.720 team needs to go and stuff. So I apologize if 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.240 all of a sudden draft talk breaks out on other 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:10.160 platforms I'm on, but here we are. 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.680 You know, Well, either way, there's there's a if the season. 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.560 Let's say the season does turn around. Oh obviously that's 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:16.960 a good thing. 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:18.920 Say it doesn't. Let's say it doesn't. 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.440 If it doesn't, then that means you probably get a 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.560 pretty good draft picks. So then so then it does 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.839 have some intrigue of Okay, you're up there, closer to 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:29.599 the top of the of the draft. How do you 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:31.400 get what? What kind of player can you really get? 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:32.480 That changes things? 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:32.720 Right? 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.440 I think with the I think with the Dack injury, 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:37.200 I think that's where people. 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:37.800 Might have flipped. 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.159 You know it minds you der reminiscent of when we 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.680 dealt with the Romo injury against Carolina on Thanksgiving Day. 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.200 I just remember looking at David Hellman and him and man, 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.760 he goes, we're got to start working on the draft now. 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.400 We can't. We can't do this anymore. We're not gonna 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:54.839 We're not gonna be okay here, you know. And and 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.679 so I kind of when your quarterback gets knocked out 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.080 like that, and and you know, listening to to the 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.920 owner general manager talk on the radio today, you know, 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.799 there's still kind of debating on you know, he wants 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:07.960 to play, he is you know, is it gonna be surgery? 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:08.839 Is there no surgery? 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:09.039 You know? 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.520 And then see there's just so much of that. There's 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.760 just no real cut and dry thing. There's so many 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.440 things still in the air, and it makes you kind 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:19.640 of like your season, you feel like it's kind of 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:20.760 in the air that way as well. 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:26.760 Well, you see, even though I can see the clear 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.320 path of it just continuing going downhill based on what 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.679 we've seen this first half of the season, especially after 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:40.120 Dak getting hurt, part of me and the dreamer part 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:44.159 of me there it still comes up with, well, you 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:48.880 never know, let's wait until this weekend and see how he, 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.720 like Cooper Rush looks and we talked about it. It's 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.640 more I mean, the offensive lineman, those are the guys 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:56.960 you're still working with, so that's not going to change 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.680 for right now. But at the same time, I'm like, 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.240 there's so many things that have occurred in the past 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.600 that you didn't expect it to happen, and then it happened. 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.840 You have so many different areas working against you currently, 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.279 but at the same time, part of them is just like, 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:16.400 you never know. The play calling might change based on 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.960 you having to adjust with the quarterbacks that you're having 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:24.000 to work with, and that could potentially somehow become positive. 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:26.360 I don't know. I just keep going back and forth, 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.560 but that I should learn my lesson though, because. 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.040 No, see the thing about it is, I think the 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.080 one thing that is not the same as when Cooper 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:35.919 Rush was quarterback and is the defense. 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.080 And you said the offensive line. Yeah, I know you'll 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:41.640 say offensive line. Yeah. The defense kept them alive, kept 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:43.000 you alive in those games. 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.960 It kept you it It made the games where it 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.560 wasn't always on Cooper Rush. You know, it was like, hey, 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.560 somehow we're gonna hold this thing to seventeen. Find a 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.120 way to get three touchdowns here? 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.120 You know, now you're about to get Mike. 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:00.000 That's what I saying. Can Micah provide that for you? 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:03.080 What do you think their boss? 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:03.520 Yeah? 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.840 I think you can certainly, especially the left tackle hole 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:07.400 that they have the Eagles have. 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:08.839 Are we talking about this weekend specifically? 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.400 Yeah, I'm talking about like this week Look, let's part 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.920 of this in what the whole conversation what we just said, 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.880 I think revolves, as Amber even mentioned, kind of revolves 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.600 around what happens this weekend. Right, you're all your your 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.760 If they go out and they lose this weekend, then 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:25.720 I think there are going to be a lot of 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.280 people are going to be like, okay, well, whereas there's 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.240 not really much. It's hard to find the hope at 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:34.040 that point. Right, if they go out and they play 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.760 well and they win, now, then the hope change is to, well, 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:41.560 you got Micah back, and Cooper Rush is playing. I 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:45.680 would assume if if they win, he's playing somewhat well. 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.280 He's a bunch of division games. 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.520 Yeah, there's all those things that still keep hope there, 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:53.920 keep hope alive. Right, So you know, look, sports fandom 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:57.360 is like Christmas. Right, It's like it's the anticipation. It's 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.720 the excitement of the hope that maybe I'm gonna get 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:04.560 that thing I really really want. But by the way, 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.080 that's right or wrong. I'm not saying it's right. I'm 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.120 saying that I think for a lot of fans that's 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.720 what sports is. It's like, that's why every year, the 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:13.720 beginning of the season, I don't care how good or 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:14.320 bad your. 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:17.680 Team is projected to be. You're like, there's always that 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.800 there's always that chance. I think that magic strikes and 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:22.200 we are in the super Bowl. 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:28.920 Right ten weeks ago, Slow down, No, I'm saying that's. 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:30.280 Ten weeks ago we were an ox stard with hope. Yea, 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.960 Now take it forward ten weeks man, this ended quick. 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:39.240 Yeah, what is without hope? 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:43.319 I think I think to your point, I think sports hope. 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:44.880 I never bring the subject up again. 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.800 Sports fandom is more like, uh, you weren't expecting this 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:49.800 whole thing to go like. 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:51.679 This bleeding hearts right. 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.959 I think sports fandom is more like Christmas Eve, because 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.520 you have the hope, whereas like the fandom itself can 0:08:58.559 --> 0:08:59.720 sometimes feel like day have. 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.600 The like, yes, it's not necessarily Christmas Day. 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:04.280 I had to come back on that thought because I 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:05.880 was like, I was like, I don't know, I've been 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:09.000 a lot happier on instances of Christmas than I have 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:11.800 been on uh yeah, fast sports fandom. 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:13.600 Yeah, I just I just didn't know. 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:15.560 I didn't know because I I kind of feel like 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:17.439 our fan base is split on this right now. 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:17.920 I agree. 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:19.640 I think they really are. I think they wanted. 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.600 I think half the fan base wants to believe that 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.920 Cooper Rush and the defense and the offensive line and 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:27.880 the running game is gonna get going, and then the 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.960 play caller is going to be back on track. You know, 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.800 there's that's our hope right now. And then you got 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.680 me who's like went through those five and eleven seasons. 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:38.480 Yeah, I've seen it, so. 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.240 I kind of understand it, you know. And I'm not 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.760 trying to big time anybody here, but you know, I 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.280 just you just don't. I could say there's just too 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.600 many signs. There's is too many signs that that the 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:54.040 way things are going, that it's and especially losing your quarterback, 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.240 that's never never a good thing to have to do with. 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:58.560 That's always the one that can just take the wind 0:09:58.600 --> 0:09:58.920 out of here. 0:09:59.080 --> 0:09:59.920 That's the one that got me. 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.280 That's the one that got me that you know that 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.320 maybe you were going to kind of figure out some things, 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.000 and you know, and and if it was a loss 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.880 against Philadelphia, I hate the Eagles more than anything, I 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:14.160 really do, and so and I dread what's about to. 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:15.600 Happen, even as a former employee. 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:20.080 On another they got rid of me, fair fair they 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.440 didn't they don't know they didn't that. 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.160 They didn't even let us have a chance. 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.280 I mean I introduced him to Andy Reid, and then 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.680 Andy Reid was there for fourteen years as a coach, 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:35.320 just beating up on everybody in the NFC East. You know, 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.440 didn't even get that well, yeah, didn't even get a chance. 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:40.880 I mean, Andy and our neighbors in Green Bay, Jeff Lourry, 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.400 Joe Banner. They didn't know who Andy Reid was. Like, 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.000 They're like, hey, well there's this guy in Green Bay 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.160 you might want to consider. You know, well we get 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:49.240 let go what they do next year. The hi Andy Reid. 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.720 They didn't know Andy Reid who he was. So to me, Yeah, 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.480 there's there's a side of me that I'm pissed that 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.080 we didn't get to finish this thing off, you know, 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:00.679 with the draft and all the things that we were 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:02.640 able to do to kind of turn it around. And 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.200 you know, Andy benefit from and he's a damn good coach. 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:06.720 We're seeing it today doubt so. 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:13.400 Yeah, mister Lurry, I'm upset with you, sir. His wife 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.760 is super nice by the way, ex wife. 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:17.160 Excuse me real quick. 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.120 I did have another topic I wanted to hit on 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.679 that Jerry brought up on his call this morning on 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:23.000 one on five DOWT three the Fan. 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:23.720 Uh. 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.480 He was talking about Jonathan Mingo and said he's a 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:27.880 DAK friendly wide receiver. 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:29.240 Says he'll be. 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:30.120 Involved in that one. 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:34.160 Off Yeah, right, he'd be involved in the offense sooner 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.480 rather than later. What would you guys in looking at 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:39.000 the film of him and know what you know about him. 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.160 What do you think Jerry means when he says he's 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:42.200 a DAK friendly receiver. 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.439 I was trying to think in my head and Brian, 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.640 you could probably have a better sigh for it here. 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.200 So I was thinking size and how it translates to 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:53.120 getting him the ball quick because this this offense and 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.800 Jerry Jones has talked about many times Mike McCarthy about 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.760 if Dak and operate under that two point three window, then. 0:11:58.760 --> 0:11:59.640 He is at his best. 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.120 And so if he can get a weapon like a 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.439 mingo who's a little bit more physical, who can create 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.160 separation in less than two point three seconds, then maybe 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:08.760 he sees that as a DAK for an or receiver. 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.640 That's just me theorizing, though I don't necessarily have the 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:13.440 full remedy of what he's trying to say. 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.880 No, I think now you you, I think you went 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.120 down the right path there. I think he's looking for 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:20.800 a big body guy that throws the ball short and 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:22.960 all of a sudden it's run after catch. You know, 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.520 that's kind of his strength. What's this offense kind of become? 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.439 It's last week it was throw any thing short, and 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.560 then run after catch yep, you know, so a little 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.559 bit too much of that going on for my taking, 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.760 but but yeah, that's why I think that I think 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:37.520 you've you've nailed this. 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:41.040 Aside from the dack point, I was thinking about this 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.160 last night, just kind of going through what Mingo has 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.080 done over the course of his career. If there's an 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:47.599 opportunity for Trey Lance and Jonathan Mingo to run a 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.079 read option, y'all might hear me clapping the press box 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:51.760 like I might get kicked out of the press box, 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.600 because that that that is the creativity we're looking for, 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:56.480 especially here down the stretch, like figure out what you 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:57.920 got in t Lance and figure out what you got 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.560 in Jonathan mean running game way to do it? Yeah, 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.200 I think it could be. I think it could be 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.000 a lot of fun if those two lines, is that your. 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:04.920 Is that your hope? 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:06.520 That's where he's open? 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:07.400 Is that your hope? 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.400 It's not Christmas Eve, it's November seventh for me or 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:11.720 November eighth for sure. 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:13.880 It's all fools days that it's April. 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.400 I've heard this question before. I'd love to know y'all's 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.880 thoughts on this. Do you think the trade for Jonathan 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.640 Mingo is an indictment on Tolbert or Brooks or even 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.240 Turpin or maybe none of the above. It's more just 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:28.880 he's just a different kind of receiver. 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:33.199 This organization will do one thing. There's something really consistent 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.840 throughout this organization. They will trade for a wide receiver 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:39.760 and a heartbeat. This owner is. This owner has always 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:41.600 done that. I mean when I work for him, you 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:46.840 with the going back to Joey Galloway, Roy Williams, Maury Cooper, 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.880 he will always try and go get a wide receiver. 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:54.440 So no, it doesn't surprise me, shock me any of that. 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.520 It just and it's not about those other guys. I 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:57.760 don't think it's I don't think it. 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.880 Now me personally, I think it's so something that they 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:05.000 to me, I still like Tolbert better than this kid. 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:06.520 I do too, I really do. 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.600 So to me, it was it's Jerry and them looking 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:13.360 at it and thinking long term, is what I was saying. 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.040 Yeah, I think they do need a little bit more 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:16.920 physicality in that room. I think there's a little bit 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:20.080 of an indictment on the Brooks, Turpin Flinoy part of 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:23.840 that room, not necessarily CD and Tolbert whereas like they 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.400 need a guy that can be an established physical wide 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.080 receiver three, whereas you know, he has an opportunity to 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:29.320 do that. 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.560 The rest of the rest of the way. 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.560 Well, they they moved on from guys like you know 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:39.320 Wilson and Noah Brown and people like that that that 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:40.600 played that role. 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:42.880 Yeah, you know, so I think they try to force 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:44.880 Brooks into that role at times. They try to force 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.800 Flinoy into that role at times in the preseason, and 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.200 even Tolbert they've they've given him one on one opportunities 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:52.280 and sure he's come down with but I think they 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:55.040 really do need that guy who can just kind of yeah, 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:56.040 buff his shoulders. 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:57.320 You're in a. 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.800 Situation where we we always talk about this with the 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:01.480 how why do you play? 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:03.680 You're asking these guys to do things. 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.360 They're probably yeah, you know, condense the thing, you know, 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:08.480 let them put them in position to make some plays, 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:12.040 don't spread them out there, and then maybe played not 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:13.600 play to their skill sets. 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.640 I think to me, the way I see it is, well, 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.280 Brendan Cooks is this is last year. 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:21.760 It is last year of his contract. 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:25.600 His contract, so we know wide receiver, that's an area 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.040 where you very much needed but at the same time, 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:30.120 and we've talked about the money, when you look at 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.560 the off season, you're not going to break the bank 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:36.960 on paying a veteran wide receiver to come in here, 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:40.200 especially after you just paid Ceedy Lamb. So the way 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:44.040 I just see is nothing against the other wide receivers 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:47.960 are currently on the list. It's just more them knowing 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:50.240 that they're going to have to draft a wide receiver, 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.600 but now they used one of the draft picks on 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:57.800 somebody that has already had some kind of experience around 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:01.280 the league or being around you know, practicing and all 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:05.160 that stuff. So it just it puts you just a 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:09.200 little bit ahead as far as timeline and development than 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:12.560 it would if you were drafting a wide receiver right 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:13.200 off the draft. 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:15.400 Can I be honest with you, Yeah, I just hate 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:16.720 everything you just said. 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:19.880 Okay, and I hate it, and I. 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.640 Hate it from the fact about maybe you'll keep them 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:25.680 from drafting somebody, you know, when you sign somebody, like 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:28.160 you know, when you bring somebody in, you trade for somebody. 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:30.800 I think I think bringing in Zeke kept them from 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:32.360 potentially drafting a running back. 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:34.600 You know, sometimes it's that And. 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:36.680 I think I think it's all I don't. 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:38.440 I mean, I don't. I don't personally hate you. I 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:40.400 mean it's what I said. 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.400 You disagree. You hate the thought. I hate it. 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:47.440 Because you value draft so high and so much. But 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:49.680 the thing is that I think we're forgetting. Everyone has 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:54.000 different perspective and different views and different how you great 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:57.120 different players. So again, from their perspective, maybe this is 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.600 a player that they highly like and and see it 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:03.280 so they they see it differently than the value that 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:06.240 you're trying to put in drafting another wide receiver. And 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:09.480 I don't think it prevents him from even I mean, crap, 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:12.680 you have so many positions of need that it limits 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:14.840 you there. But at the same time, maybe it's just 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.840 they clearly value him very highly to be able to 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:19.840 give up a fourth round. 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.480 I need him to play well in these games, though. 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.240 I need him to play well, because what will happen 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:29.320 is well, you know we do doesn't No, No, He'll 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.959 still be here and then they'll be the hopium. 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:33.320 You know, they'll be. 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:35.320 And and and and you know, one day we're going 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:37.080 to look back on this this season. 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:41.359 We're gonna look back. We're going to look back on 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:44.760 the season, and we're gonna say Okay, what went wrong? 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:47.280 What went wrong with this? You know? 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:51.960 And then it's oh, we we misevaluated our own players. 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.399 We misevaluated. We thought, oh, this guy is going to 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.879 have his best season. Oh, this guy's going to do 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:00.720 his he's gonna his season is going to There were 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.320 too many to me, there were too many times now 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:07.399 where it was, you know, everybody they thought about probably 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.120 gonna have its best season, probably gonna make that jump probably, 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:11.560 you know, And then how. 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.400 Many people really really made that jump? So far? 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:19.439 We haven't seen it, you know, the Mazzie Smith, you know, Mazzi, 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:22.679 he's gonna make that jump. Well he hasn't, you know. 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:25.159 But to me, this is where, like I say, the 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:29.159 running backs, I use the running back situation, Zeke is 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:31.639 going you know, we got Zeke asin the hole, Zeke 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:34.080 as in the hole. Maybe we don't have to look 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.119 at some every one of these running backs that he 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:39.080 and I talked about in the fourth, fifth round have 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.760 come on and played well for teams. You know, they're 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:43.760 thinking like, well, we've already gotten Zeke. You know, we've 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:46.199 already got We've got Rico Daddle, We've already got you know, 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:50.679 please don't be where man, we've got Mingo not going 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:52.879 to take a look at that receiver because we you know, 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:56.360 oh this guy's six ' three, that Mingo's just like him. 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:00.639 Please Mingo play well. But it's still probably gonna happen 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:04.200 where he'll be here and maybe it'll keep him from 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:06.280 drafting a receiver that might be bad. 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:10.240 I don't disagree with you, But at the same time, 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:12.480 it's like, as we sit here and I'm trying to 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:16.280 make sense of the decision they made, that's the only 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:21.119 reasoning that comes to mind why this happens. So it 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:22.679 is what it is, This is where we're at, and 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.119 this is what we gotta deal with, and none of 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:27.359 us make those decisions, and we just got to sit 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:28.159 here and talk about it. 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:30.120 No, I just that's and you're absolutely right. 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:33.160 The thing that that just bothers me is that you 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:35.400 you just sit there and you feel like they put 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:39.919 so much on their roster of that guy's gonna that 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:42.280 guy's gonna make the jump, that guy's gonna make the jump, 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:44.800 that guy's and then you know, they lose depth and 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.880 then now they're expecting all every one of their players 0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:50.000 to make a jump. If you, if you, if I 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:52.320 went around the room and ask you, guys, what player 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:55.960 on this team, what players on this team has exceeded 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:57.120 your expectations? 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:00.520 Jordan Lewis, there's one for se there's two. 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:02.360 I was gonna say that's pretty much. 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:02.800 There's three. 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:05.520 I don't think Tolver's necessarily exceeded my expectations. I think 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:07.399 he's been kind of what I expected him to be. 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:12.000 Other three or four guys then, right, Carl, So where 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:13.280 was the bar? Right? Exactly? 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:15.640 That's what I'm saying. 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:18.280 We didn't go into the season thinking there was going 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:20.600 to be Aubrey there. 0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:20.800 You know. 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:26.080 That's that's that's where we're at. That's where we're at. 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:28.480 There's how many offensive players did you name? 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:29.040 By the way? 0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:32.720 I mean, So, that's that's what I'm saying here. You know, 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:36.080 they they put all their eggs into man. Our CAP's 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:38.720 not very good right now. We've drafted a lot of guys. 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:40.600 We're gonna they're having to play a lot of young 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:44.560 guys because they're hurt. Their team's hurt, you know, that's why. 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:47.359 But they were they were thinking like they were thinking 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:50.919 all this about their team. In actuality, their team was 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:54.280 right here. That's that's where the that's where to me 0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:57.080 and then you make a trade, and it's like, maybe 0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:00.520 keeps you from trying to get the team back up 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:03.639 to hear because you're like, well, Mingo, we got this 0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:06.600 Mingo kid. We liked him coming out, you know, and 0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:09.840 it keeps you from maybe getting a kid from you know, 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:12.560 from another school that might be a little bit better player. 0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:15.680 Well, the difference is it got a shorter time line 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:17.159 on this one. It's not going to be like you 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:18.840 would do and you normally that could be a good 0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:20.400 and a bad thing like you do with a normal 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:22.320 rookie ye, where you got four years where you got 0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:24.240 to play that out before they get to that contract. 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:26.040 They got two years to figure this out on this 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:28.080 kid before he's going to be a free agent. So 0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:29.720 they got to figure out something pretty quick as to 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:31.800 whether he really is a legitimate player or not. 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:34.480 I got to give this personnel department credit, and I 0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:37.760 really do respect when people believe in themselves so much 0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:40.399 so that even they continue to believe whenever they've been wrong, 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:43.480 and with how wrong. At least as it appears so far, 0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:46.480 this twenty twenty three draft class has been for them 0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:48.480 to go right back to that twenty twenty three board 0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:50.280 and be like, no, we still believe in our evaluation 0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:52.000 of that guy and Jonathan Mingo, we want to bring 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:54.640 him in and spend forth. I think that's a very 0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:57.239 interesting point. This personnel department is still very you know, 0:21:57.400 --> 0:21:58.520 dependent on. 0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:00.639 Either that or you have job security. That's another thing. 0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:03.679 All Right, we're gonna take our first break and we 0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:04.040 come back. 0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:05.320 Goodn break, We'll go. 0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:08.040 We'll go to yetting time with Ambergarciat.

I'm 0:25:12.440 --> 0:25:14.480 gonna start off with the quote that I'm going to 0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:17.119 read to you guys, and then if you decide you 0:25:17.160 --> 0:25:19.760 want a clue, I will hand you one and you 0:25:19.840 --> 0:25:23.040 read it aloud.

How recent are. 0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:36.360 These let's just say you might lose Okay, so it's 0:25:36.400 --> 0:25:37.240 more than two years? 0:25:39.640 --> 0:25:41.960 Okay, first, Oh, hold on, hold on, one more question. 0:25:42.040 --> 0:25:43.240 Are all these players active? 0:25:45.000 --> 0:25:46.080 Let's just get into it. 0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:49.920 Okay, Okay, Sorry, lord, I'm trying to frame my mind here. 0:25:50.240 --> 0:25:54.080 I don't know. We'll see how this turns out, all right. 0:25:55.160 --> 0:25:59.159 I always said my paths talk, My paths did the talking. 0:25:59.640 --> 0:26:04.879 I don't have to be rambunctious, rambunctious and talk. I 0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:06.080 don't have to say anything. 0:26:08.160 --> 0:26:13.199 It's Michael Parsons. Um it's not. Oh is that how 0:26:13.200 --> 0:26:14.479 we're playing? Do I have to guess like that? 0:26:14.560 --> 0:26:18.200 You just guess? But if I have three clues, three 0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:20.320 more clues.

Though? 0:26:45.000 --> 0:26:46.840 It's not that hard, like if you think about what 0:26:47.200 --> 0:26:49.560 he just said, like that's DeMarcus. DeMarcus is a nice 0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:52.000 guy and everybody always wanted him to be meaner, like 0:26:52.000 --> 0:26:52.960 that's it sounds like something. 0:26:53.880 --> 0:26:56.679 Well, three clues where I'll keep score back. 0:26:58.880 --> 0:27:01.760 None.

Like Eric, like, you know what right, it's. 0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:53.200 A different game, different bodies, different different body type. 0:28:54.480 --> 0:28:58.320 All right, the competition is what I love. That makes 0:28:58.600 --> 0:29:02.640 me a lot more tense. Personalities don't enter into it 0:29:02.680 --> 0:29:05.560 at all. My objective is to get the man with 0:29:05.680 --> 0:29:08.800 the ball. Nobody better get in my way. 0:29:09.520 --> 0:29:11.360 My objective is to get the man with the ball. 0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:13.240 Nobody get in my way. 0:29:14.640 --> 0:29:15.320 It's a tank. 0:29:18.040 --> 0:29:29.240 No, I'll take a clue. I didn't run the ball 0:29:29.400 --> 0:29:32.080 or catch it for scores, but when it came to stopping, 0:29:32.120 --> 0:29:33.080 I opened the doors. 0:29:35.080 --> 0:29:38.400 That's a bar. First off, Yeah, is. 0:29:38.360 --> 0:29:39.440 That Moose Johnson? 0:29:40.440 --> 0:29:43.800 Nope?

Many words in his entire life 0:30:14.920 --> 0:30:16.400 read from Bryan all right. 0:30:17.040 --> 0:30:20.480 From the sixties to the seventies, I dominated the game 0:30:20.720 --> 0:30:22.840 and earned the nickname that brought me great fame. 0:30:23.760 --> 0:30:24.240 Too tall. 0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:30.400 There's another Minster that's that's that's Randy White. 0:30:30.440 --> 0:30:31.040 Bob Lily. 0:30:31.320 --> 0:30:32.000 Bob Lily. 0:30:32.280 --> 0:30:36.560 Oh okay, probably my favorite cowboy, full time legitimately cowboy. 0:30:36.680 --> 0:30:44.760 Yeahs, you only got two. I just said, I guess, 0:30:45.040 --> 0:30:47.680 but you started throwing names, so you're like, let me 0:30:47.760 --> 0:30:51.600 just guess what that works until going back to the back. 0:30:51.480 --> 0:30:52.320 To the day. 0:30:52.760 --> 0:30:55.800 All right, recounting that for Derk, Yes, we're counting that 0:30:55.800 --> 0:30:56.440 for sure. 0:30:57.320 --> 0:31:02.400 Let's just go through the roster. Yes, a small quote, 0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:09.120 welcome to the Mile High City. And I really am what. 0:31:09.040 --> 0:31:10.320 Does he mean by that? 0:31:15.360 --> 0:31:15.520 Uh? 0:31:15.880 --> 0:31:19.680 Hollywood Henderson, Welcome to the Mile High City. 0:31:19.480 --> 0:31:26.760 Pac Man Jones. No, let me get a clue. Let's see, 0:31:27.160 --> 0:31:32.720 I can guess. Okay, before I was a cowboy, I 0:31:32.760 --> 0:31:34.360 played in the South at s m U. 0:31:34.440 --> 0:31:35.800 I opened the playbook's mouth. 0:31:37.960 --> 0:31:39.320 This is Don Meredith. 0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:42.800 Yes, good job, right, all right. 0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:45.440 So you made these little quotes here? 0:31:45.520 --> 0:31:46.200 Of course she did. 0:31:46.400 --> 0:31:48.000 Okay, I'm all confused. 0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:54.680 I was like man, Bob Lily, he was poet. 0:31:55.480 --> 0:32:00.480 Yes, the initial quotes our quotes that I just I thought. 0:32:00.480 --> 0:32:02.240 I never Lily is a wordsmith. 0:32:02.680 --> 0:32:06.040 I'm on the board, Brian's on the board. 0:32:06.240 --> 0:32:07.840 Yeah, this is bad for me. 0:32:08.080 --> 0:32:11.120 History lessons are not great for me, all right. Born 0:32:11.800 --> 0:32:15.800 two thousand, we were. 0:32:15.600 --> 0:32:16.720 Losing eleven games. 0:32:17.560 --> 0:32:21.680 Yeah, okay, this is the last one. I was small, 0:32:22.920 --> 0:32:27.400 but I was, but I was one that was afraid. 0:32:28.000 --> 0:32:30.880 When you're scared, you can run really fast. 0:32:33.480 --> 0:32:33.840 Mm hmm. 0:32:37.240 --> 0:32:40.920 I was small, scared, but I ran fast. 0:32:42.440 --> 0:32:48.680 No, I'm trying to think of a small player. No, 0:32:50.560 --> 0:32:54.600 mm hmm. Let's see what we got. 0:32:55.640 --> 0:32:59.040 Though I'm often forgotten, my greatness still stands. They love 0:32:59.120 --> 0:33:01.480 to have me now with the ball in my hands. 0:33:03.560 --> 0:33:07.680 So it's a running back. It's a running back. Okay, 0:33:07.760 --> 0:33:08.920 I think that tells. 0:33:08.520 --> 0:33:10.840 The greatness Walter Payton, he was sweetness. 0:33:11.200 --> 0:33:12.600 So he's like a short running back. 0:33:12.840 --> 0:33:13.640 Short running back. 0:33:13.920 --> 0:33:21.720 Julius that big. No, Julius wasn't that big, right. Julies also, 0:33:21.760 --> 0:33:27.800 wasn't there a right But I don't know if he'd 0:33:27.800 --> 0:33:30.200 be saying it'd be better than what they have right 0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:30.440 now with. 0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:34.960 Big Yes, I would take right now, no doubt about it. 0:33:35.080 --> 0:33:37.120 But for that statement, I'm trying to think of the 0:33:37.200 --> 0:33:41.280 best running backs in Cowboy's history. Before the stars in Glory, 0:33:41.440 --> 0:33:43.960 I was the first to show that the Cowboys had 0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:46.400 a back who could who could go toe to toe. 0:33:47.240 --> 0:33:48.200 So he's a running back. 0:33:48.760 --> 0:33:52.120 That confirms the position is running back. 0:33:52.240 --> 0:33:54.480 You didn't help us there this one. 0:33:54.600 --> 0:33:55.200 Was he a fighter? 0:33:55.320 --> 0:33:55.400 Like? 0:33:55.520 --> 0:33:57.200 Was he a this one?

That wasn't Robert Newhouse or 0:34:18.320 --> 0:34:19.240 or Moose. 0:34:20.080 --> 0:34:21.359 That's what the closes said. 0:34:21.400 --> 0:34:23.400 I am Garrison. 0:34:24.680 --> 0:34:27.919 No here, al was making fun of wal Garrison earlier, 0:34:27.920 --> 0:34:29.600 and you don't almost ended up being an answer. 0:34:29.680 --> 0:34:31.000 Poor guy gets forgotten. 0:34:31.400 --> 0:34:33.440 Yeah, he's definitely getting forgetting. 0:34:33.160 --> 0:34:34.080 It President. 0:34:37.480 --> 0:34:40.439 No, Bob, Bob Lily, So that would be like into 0:34:40.480 --> 0:34:43.600 the seventies. But that's Robert Newhouse, right. 0:34:43.520 --> 0:34:43.879 New House. 0:34:43.920 --> 0:34:45.399 That's that's why I assumed it was new House. 0:34:45.440 --> 0:34:48.880 But Chucky Withers, I don't know.

Slash 0:39:29.840 --> 0:39:31.399 O Ledebo Welcome back. 0:39:31.480 --> 0:39:33.719 Final segment of the Break Life from the s w 0:39:33.880 --> 0:39:35.040 B Second Studios. 0:39:36.120 --> 0:39:37.919 Huh, they're giving Austin Eckler the ball. 0:39:39.480 --> 0:39:43.440 Sorry, guys, we've just taken a fantasy football argument onto 0:39:43.480 --> 0:39:46.719 the air and they're trying to decide. They're talking about 0:39:46.800 --> 0:39:49.000 trades here, so we're not going to get into that. 0:39:49.120 --> 0:39:50.359 We'll talk about this off the air. 0:39:50.719 --> 0:39:54.799 Uh, Let's talk about Cowboys versus Eagles. Let's start with it. 0:39:54.840 --> 0:39:57.600 I have some questions for you guys and about the matchup. 0:39:58.040 --> 0:40:00.840 Looking at the Philadelphia offense, what would you say is 0:40:00.960 --> 0:40:04.040 more challenging matchup for Dallas when it comes to stopping 0:40:04.239 --> 0:40:07.800 Philadelphia's passing game, Dallas Goddard or Devonte Smith. 0:40:09.200 --> 0:40:11.839 I think they're gonna look at Smith first, but if 0:40:11.960 --> 0:40:15.840 Dallas continues to show an inability. Now, last week it 0:40:15.880 --> 0:40:19.239 worked out because you moved some cats. Pitts did not 0:40:19.320 --> 0:40:22.400 do much one catch and they actually credited nearest receiver 0:40:22.719 --> 0:40:27.560 was Digs or nearest defender defender was Diggs. If you know, 0:40:27.640 --> 0:40:30.799 if you're the thing that I worry about with with 0:40:30.960 --> 0:40:31.799 Goddard is. 0:40:32.160 --> 0:40:34.360 He does similar things to what you see with Kittle. 0:40:34.760 --> 0:40:37.319 The act like we're blocking, kind of delay and then 0:40:37.400 --> 0:40:39.919 run out in a route or flex out and then 0:40:40.080 --> 0:40:44.160 cross And I do worry about that. But Smith the 0:40:44.200 --> 0:40:48.520 post routes, the drag routes, the crossing routes, the hitch routes. 0:40:49.760 --> 0:40:49.840 It. 0:40:49.960 --> 0:40:53.080 He's a problem and he is going to be a problem. 0:40:53.239 --> 0:40:56.279 But man, I I would I worry about that tied 0:40:56.400 --> 0:40:58.680 end too, because you really this last week you were 0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:00.920 good at it, but previous so that it's been a 0:41:00.960 --> 0:41:01.920 little bit of a struggle. 0:41:02.680 --> 0:41:07.880 Yeah, I would go with Smith with the receiver just 0:41:07.880 --> 0:41:13.680 because of how much you struggle with the cornerbacks. And 0:41:13.840 --> 0:41:16.640 I think that's another area that the Eagles can definitely 0:41:16.680 --> 0:41:20.920 try to exploit this weekend. I think with Goddard, like 0:41:21.920 --> 0:41:26.879 because you have kind of more players around you defensively 0:41:26.920 --> 0:41:29.640 in that area, you could potentially get more help where 0:41:29.640 --> 0:41:32.600 you're just not leaving it up to let's say Carson 0:41:33.239 --> 0:41:37.600 or even Digs on his own over there. So I 0:41:37.640 --> 0:41:41.920 think I would slightly put him above as a priority 0:41:42.080 --> 0:41:43.400 for this weekend. 0:41:44.200 --> 0:41:45.960 You asked which one am I scared of more? 0:41:46.080 --> 0:41:47.800 Yeah, which is a more challenging. 0:41:47.640 --> 0:41:51.120 Challenging matchup for Dallas. Okay, I like the Jordan Lewis 0:41:51.160 --> 0:41:53.640 Devonte Smith matchup. I think they will both get some 0:41:53.719 --> 0:41:55.920 wins against each other, but I think I think Lewis 0:41:55.960 --> 0:41:57.879 can hold his own there. I think I worry maybe 0:41:57.880 --> 0:42:01.080 a little bit more about Goddard in the sense that 0:42:01.160 --> 0:42:02.319 you know, I need to see it a little bit 0:42:02.360 --> 0:42:04.640 more than one time against Kyle Pitts, just because that 0:42:04.719 --> 0:42:07.800 George Kittle instance was still two weeks ago. So and 0:42:08.280 --> 0:42:09.880 Goddards had a couple of big games this season. 0:42:09.920 --> 0:42:12.680 So I lean Goddard, which is a more challenging matchup 0:42:12.719 --> 0:42:15.880 from the running game perspective. Saquon Barkley or Jalen Hurts. 0:42:15.680 --> 0:42:22.920 Yes, I uh uh Barkley, I mean, yeah, Barkley. I 0:42:23.400 --> 0:42:25.920 think about Jalen Hurts only in the sense that the 0:42:25.960 --> 0:42:28.759 Cowboys have had issues with quarterbacks escaping the pocket this year. 0:42:28.760 --> 0:42:31.040 I mean, look at Brock Perdy. It made him look 0:42:31.080 --> 0:42:33.200 like Jalen Hurts in that game. And then also, Jalen 0:42:33.280 --> 0:42:35.840 Hurts is playing a lot healthier this year. He's lowering 0:42:35.840 --> 0:42:38.400 his shoulder again, he's fighting for extra yardage. He's a 0:42:38.440 --> 0:42:40.120 tough guy to bring down, like if he was a 0:42:40.160 --> 0:42:42.680 running back, he would be a very difficult task to 0:42:42.719 --> 0:42:45.200 take on week on, weekend and week out. But Saquon 0:42:45.239 --> 0:42:47.239 Barkley has just been unreal. I think he's on a 0:42:47.280 --> 0:42:49.200 pace to be Offensive Player of the Year if he 0:42:49.239 --> 0:42:50.279 if he continues his s pace. 0:42:51.120 --> 0:42:54.200 Yeah, I think, uh, when you have a running back 0:42:54.239 --> 0:42:58.640 that's been so successful, you don't you're not forced to 0:42:58.719 --> 0:43:02.040 having to rely or put your quarterback in a position 0:43:02.080 --> 0:43:04.319 where you need him to be scaping or running for 0:43:04.360 --> 0:43:06.000 his life or trying to get out of the pocket 0:43:06.000 --> 0:43:07.719 and doing all that and using his running game. I 0:43:07.719 --> 0:43:10.680 think we'll see some of that because that just adds 0:43:10.760 --> 0:43:13.880 to the game and it's been a challenge for Cowboys 0:43:13.880 --> 0:43:18.680 defense to stop mobile quarterbacks. But with Saquon, you don't 0:43:18.680 --> 0:43:20.799 need any of that. He can handle that job and 0:43:20.880 --> 0:43:24.239 do it all himself. I think I would put him 0:43:24.400 --> 0:43:27.840 as number one, but obviously you cannot not pay attention 0:43:28.000 --> 0:43:29.520 to hers either. 0:43:29.760 --> 0:43:30.000 Yeah. 0:43:30.040 --> 0:43:33.160 My biggest fear was that Barkley was going to go 0:43:33.360 --> 0:43:37.160 much like McCaffrey leaving Carolina, who's always banged up, and 0:43:37.200 --> 0:43:39.480 then he goes well, he goes to San Francisco and 0:43:39.520 --> 0:43:42.920 then he has Now he's banged up again. But he's 0:43:43.000 --> 0:43:46.880 had some years of some good health, and now here's Barkley. 0:43:46.920 --> 0:43:50.080 He's getting looks like his health. Usually when the Cowboys 0:43:50.120 --> 0:43:52.800 play Barkley, he's been banged up or he gets banged 0:43:52.840 --> 0:43:55.759 up in the game. You know, So I kind of 0:43:55.840 --> 0:43:59.200 he's the one that scares me because of just Dallas's 0:43:59.680 --> 0:44:03.359 a bill to really set that edge and play play 0:44:03.400 --> 0:44:04.440 really good run defense. 0:44:04.800 --> 0:44:07.920 All right, let's get to some picks here. What do 0:44:07.880 --> 0:44:10.480 you think is gonna happen this weekend? Cowboys versus Eagles. 0:44:10.800 --> 0:44:13.200 Hmm, I've had this weird gat feeling. 0:44:13.200 --> 0:44:14.560 I'm gonna pick the Cowboys, aren't you. 0:44:14.560 --> 0:44:16.000 I've had this weird gat too. 0:44:16.120 --> 0:44:16.720 I have too. 0:44:17.200 --> 0:44:19.400 I think the Cowboys get it done. I have no reason, 0:44:19.640 --> 0:44:21.160 yeah to give you why. I just think they get 0:44:21.200 --> 0:44:23.400 it done. I think they rally around Cooper Rush. I 0:44:23.560 --> 0:44:25.319 think Michael Parson's coming back will be able to help 0:44:25.360 --> 0:44:28.280 them in the past Rush for some reason. And look, 0:44:28.280 --> 0:44:31.719 they could get beat by thirty on Sunday, but hey, 0:44:31.719 --> 0:44:33.640 I'm seven to one on the year. I'm gonna maybe 0:44:33.640 --> 0:44:36.120 we can take some chances here. I think the Cowboys win, right, 0:44:36.160 --> 0:44:37.480 I think they do right. 0:44:39.040 --> 0:44:43.920 I want I mean seriously, I mean Philadelphia is you 0:44:43.960 --> 0:44:47.680 know me, Philadelphia is gonna win this game. It's gonna 0:44:47.719 --> 0:44:50.200 be thirty one to uh, It's gonna be thirty one 0:44:50.239 --> 0:44:52.520 to twenty one. I think they're gonna probably beat. 0:44:52.440 --> 0:44:52.920 Him by ten. 0:44:55.040 --> 0:45:00.160 Unprofessional and totally biased opinion, But no matter what, you 0:45:00.160 --> 0:45:03.040 will never catch me. And I hope I haven't said 0:45:03.040 --> 0:45:06.480 that in the past. But I'm just not picking the Eagles. 0:45:06.920 --> 0:45:09.680 I'm not picking them, even if they are currently in 0:45:09.719 --> 0:45:13.760 a better spot than the Cowboys. If I'm not picking 0:45:13.840 --> 0:45:16.839 the Eagles, and you never know, I want to see 0:45:16.840 --> 0:45:20.120 what Cooper Rush can do in this offense, and I 0:45:20.160 --> 0:45:23.200 want to see if Mike McCarthy can't adjust his playbook 0:45:23.280 --> 0:45:26.279 and see what that looks like. But this week, I 0:45:26.320 --> 0:45:28.080 am definitely not picking the Eagles. 0:45:28.160 --> 0:45:30.920 Okay, can I give you some real hashtag analysis from 0:45:30.960 --> 0:45:34.160 my thought and this team. They have clawed back into 0:45:34.200 --> 0:45:36.000 games in the fourth quarter the last two weeks. If 0:45:36.000 --> 0:45:38.160 they can just play solid coming out of the half, 0:45:38.520 --> 0:45:40.359 this is a team that can still be capable of 0:45:40.360 --> 0:45:42.640 beating anybody in the league. You look at the third 0:45:42.760 --> 0:45:45.400 quarters and losses, You look at the Ravens third quarter, 0:45:45.400 --> 0:45:47.000 you look at the forty nine or third quarter of 0:45:47.000 --> 0:45:48.719 the Falcons. Those are three games right there where if 0:45:48.760 --> 0:45:50.400 you just play average football you have a chance at 0:45:50.400 --> 0:45:52.320 winning those games. You go from three to five potentially 0:45:52.320 --> 0:45:54.279 to the six and two type of outcome. Yes, you 0:45:54.280 --> 0:45:57.480 don't have your quarterback in this situation, but the Eagles 0:45:57.480 --> 0:45:59.400 haven't seen that quarterback in two years either, So I 0:46:00.000 --> 0:46:02.759 I do feel like there's playing well in. 0:46:02.680 --> 0:46:03.239 The third quarter. 0:46:03.239 --> 0:46:04.360 Make sure it will keep you in this. 0:46:04.360 --> 0:46:06.360 Sick Sirianni will keep you in the game. That is, 0:46:06.600 --> 0:46:07.560 that is always a fact. 0:46:08.040 --> 0:46:09.919 All right, I appreciate you guys.
