You're getting ready for it? Hey, guys, 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:47.159 welcome back to another episode of The Break. I am 0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:49.879 hosting today. We have the full crew in here, but 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:54.160 since I'm hosting, there will be no contract talk. Yeah, 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.520 we are taking a break for that from that until 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.640 further notice. We do know that this is the kiss 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:04.360 of death. Like in five minutes we got press conference 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:08.199 that sign hey might happened. I mean Jerry Jones said 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:10.560 it on the press conference or somewhere, I forgot where 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:13.360 he's been talking so much lately, but he saided that 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.680 you still gotta like three days until the games, until 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.560 until the actual start of the season. Stephen Jones said 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.760 that yesterday after Zeke's presser, and I almost wept. I'm like, 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.199 don't do that to me, Stephen, give me, no, would 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:28.400 be fun. Give us give us the weekend, seven pm 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.559 tomorrow night. That's if that. If it happens, I'm gonna 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.960 humbly put that on you in Rob Phillips because there 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:35.520 won't be a whole lot I can do about it. 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.760 LSU Texas, Like, that's kind of a thing. We've been 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.840 talking about him seven let's go three years really yep. 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:44.959 And when they first announced it, me and Dave looked 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.039 at each other like, please play. We got a date, 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:51.080 Please have a home game? Thank god, thank god, we don't. 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:52.880 We only have to get in our cars tomorrow and 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.400 not hot a flight. Oh no, no, I'm saying when 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.960 the game's over. Yeah, what's the bet? Is there a bet? 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.120 Or is there a friendly bet that we can talk 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:04.080 about on the air? Well, yeah, basically our tickets, Like yeah, 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:07.000 whoever gets, whoever wins, does not pay for their ticket, 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.600 So that'll be fun. Yeah, it'll be fun and get 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.720 to enjoy the game. On the other person, Okay, be fun, okay, 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.000 but not really on the other I'm sure we'll talk 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.320 about it again Monday or something. Trust follow our accounts 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.040 on Twitter and we will have some inform. We'll have 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.640 some stuff. It's gonna be the game. Wait, yeah, all right, 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.359 they want to hear about the cowboys though. Yeah, let's 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:30.040 let's get back on track cowboys versus Giants. Before we 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.160 get into that, I thought it would be appropriate to 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:34.799 kind of talk about the press conference that happened yes Orley, 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:38.960 since it was a pretty interesting one. It was a 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:45.400 fun one, especially with the shirt that Jerry presented to Zeke, 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:49.480 which kind of cleared up the air and the questions 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.080 that some people may have had as regards to the 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:58.480 relationship there maybe creating some friction between the two after 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:02.200 he made the comment seek who when he was asked 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:05.720 about Tony Poller's success. Basically, can I just say this, 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:11.840 anybody that thinks that Jerry, that Jerry ever gets takes 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.520 it personal when it has to do with dealing with 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:18.239 players and contract situations, they don't really know Jerry. Like, 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.520 Jerry is not the kind that I don't think he's 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:24.160 the kind of person that really gets too upset about 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.800 anything regarding his players. I'll give you an example. You 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:30.480 look at the media and they ride him pretty hard. 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:32.639 And there are certain guys in this media, and I'm 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.120 talking about guys that have been around here for a 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.080 long time, something that don't even work in the media anymore, 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:40.280 like Randy Galloway Dale Hanson, like, if you saw Jerry 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.760 interact with those guys, you would think that they were 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.840 his best of friends. Like, Jerry just doesn't take it personal. 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.640 He really doesn't. And so I think when you start 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.640 looking at that kind of stuff and people thinking because 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.120 they were in a tough negotiation, which by the way, 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.720 this probably wasn't the toughest negotiation Jerry's ever had to 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:57.320 deal with when it comes to a player. But when 0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.920 you're in a tough negotiation, Jerry thinks of it as 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.800 business and you go through the process and you figure 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.000 it all out, and when it's all done, you shake hands, 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.080 you say you got me or I got you, or 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.520 we're both happy either way, and we move on and 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.720 we're happy. Right, Not only business but fun. Yeah, Jerry 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.040 sees the sport in it, like Jerry loves that. The 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.400 one he actually he talked about it on the radio 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.000 today because of last week on the radio. The one 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.799 way you can hurt Jerry Jones's feelings is to intimate 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.760 or suggest that he doesn't care about winning. Oh yeah, 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.120 and he called he called called one oh five three 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:34.440 the fan last week because they Gavin was basically suggesting like, well, 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.840 maybe the fire's just not burning for him anymore. And 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:41.400 he called in and was like, that ain't true. That's 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.080 the one way and you can get to him. And yeah, 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.680 I mean this classic Jerry Jones, like a little you know, 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.240 if you want to call it friction. He turned it 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.680 into a joke and it's going to raise a ton 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.080 of money for the Salvation Army selling a T shirt 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.240 for it. That's just classic. I thought, I just put 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:56.839 a bow on the whole thing, and it was a 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.320 good way to do it. And you know, and if 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:04.160 you can sell some money, money he could probably sell. 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.240 He could probably sell money. He could sell money. I 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:07.760 think he could probably see. But the cool thing is 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.159 that it's tied in together with the Salvation Army. Yeah, 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:13.000 so you're gonna be helping people around the area. Yep. 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.400 And that's you know, that's the Jones families. I don't 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:18.200 want to say their favorite, but it is one of 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:22.200 their favorite causes. So when spent a lot of time 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:26.480 and money resources on working with Salvation Army on wins 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.520 and wins. All right, now, let's get back into the 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:33.120 game and what's happening this weekend. I saw a lot 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.760 of questions from fans in regards to Sack Martin and 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.480 his back. Are you guys concerned at all with him 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:44.839 being limited this week and just having some question marks 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:49.480 around him during the game. I don't think that, um, 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.560 there'll be a big question mark regarding like his play. 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.160 I think he'll go out there and play well. I 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.120 don't think just be with him being limited. I don't 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.479 think it's an issue. There's being still cautious with him. 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.240 I fully expect him to play and play well. He 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.640 might get a little help if he needs it on 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:12.719 Sunday in the form of some medication. Maybe maybe takes 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.839 a shot or something pain killer or whatever, just to 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:17.640 chick kind of easy numb it. But I think he'll 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.560 play well. Yeah. Back, I mean we always say it. 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.080 I never feel good about somebody having a back injury. 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.000 It probably won't go away, if I had to guess, 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.480 and he'll probably be limited a lot, but I don't 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.680 think it'll be in the way of it won't get 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:31.400 in the way of him playing or playing well. I 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.120 don't think, hopefully not. I mean, that's the thing about backs. 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.599 You just never know. And I know Brian's a big 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.600 you know he'll say this to you. You know that 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.240 that this is when you worry about the guy waking 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.600 up on a Sunday morning when you're sitting in you know, 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.640 New York about to play the Giants. You wake up 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:50.200 Sunday morning and his back just is not cooperating and 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:51.960 you end up in a situation where you thought he 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:55.159 was playing and then he doesn't. That's what you fear. 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.240 Hopefully it's not that kind of situation. But that's the 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.800 thing about backs, right, he's anybody's had back issues, which 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.280 I have. It's just it's a day to day thing, 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.280 and you know, until you're healthy, and typically to get healthy, 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.960 you gotta sit, you gotta get away from everything. So 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:12.880 if he's going into it with this again, I'm not 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.320 a doctor, but you would have to at least say 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.200 that that you you kind of just keep an eye 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.160 on it and just see kind of where it goes 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.760 from here. If there are games where or maybe he 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.520 is feeling a little bit more uncomfortable than others. It's 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.520 it's not ideal, but through two days of practice he's 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:29.480 he appears to doing fine. He was out there again, 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.280 So yeah, like it will probably be something we talk 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.480 about throughout the year if I had to guess, But 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:36.880 you'll be out there Sunday. Hey, I'm gonna hijack your 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:38.840 show for just a second. I just saw something real 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:40.920 quick on Twitter. I wanted to throw out and get 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:44.680 some opinions. Looks like ty Tyreek Hill just agreed to 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:50.520 a fifty four million dollar extension. Kid, No, no, no no, no, 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:56.120 we're I'm hosting this show. Noting here a wide receiver, 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.640 wide receiver getting a new deal. So we'll see. We'll 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.360 see how that affects Amari Cooper. That's eighteen a year, 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.240 so that's a lot of money establishing. Thank you for 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:08.960 the information. We'll get back on it next week, Thank 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.280 you very much. We'll see how that affects everything else 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:15.240 next week. All right, back on track. Travis Frederick, Jason Witten. 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.520 Two guys that you know, they've been doing well this offseason. 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:23.600 They look good, they've been nothing has popped up, you know, 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:25.680 as far as them. But be now for a whole 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.120 year and now you talk about a game. How do 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.960 you guys expect them to react when it comes down 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:36.880 to a full, actual, full, real season game. Jason Witten, 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.680 I just assume he's gonna look like Jason Witten, Like 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.360 I assume it's gonna look exactly the same as it 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.040 did for most of his Like he's going to play 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:48.120 most of the snaps, maybe not on Sunday, but at 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:51.520 some point he's gonna have a penalty that everybody kind 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.440 of you're like, well, okay, well let it go because 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:58.560 it's Jason Witten, and he'll catch like six four to 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.319 eight passes for like four your fifty yards and hopefully 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:04.079 a touchdown. Travis Frederick is the one that's interesting to me. 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.840 I mean, he looked good in the preseason for what 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:10.120 we saw, right, but is he back to being that 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.280 ridiculous all pro? And I mean I don't I don't 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.000 have an answer for you. I hope he looks great. 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.520 I think what was Dack sac fifty times last year 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:21.480 for six? Yeah? It was it was a but yeah, 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.000 you're right, and you know the second right, yeah, second 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.839 most Yeah, and Deshaun Watson I think was first. Yeah. 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:30.840 I mean, so you know guys that are, you know, big, strong, 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.360 athletic guys. I mean, those are the ones. But they're 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:36.160 young quarterbacks and they're young quarterbacks and they still it's 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.720 all about recognition. We talked about earlier this week, and 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:40.880 I think Frederick will help with that more than anything. 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:43.320 It's just where the blitz is coming from. You know, 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.600 how to slide the protection either way, and I think 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.760 that will be the biggest difference you see, and hopefully 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.360 you'll see it in the red zone. I'll say this, 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:54.440 I don't think it'll just be those two guys. I mean, 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:57.160 if you watch the game last night, and that's really 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.280 a microcosm of what Week one of NFL football really 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.720 has become. So I think those guys will be working 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.080 their way back. But guess what, every other veteran that 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.920 didn't play that much during the preseason that's still using 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.640 basically this game as somewhat of a preseason game to 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.160 get themselves right, that's probably what you're gonna see on 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.600 both sides. There's a lot of really dirty football that's 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:19.599 playing being played in these first couple of weeks in 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.280 the NFL season because you know, that's just don't play 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:24.760 a lot, so having to play a full game just 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:26.320 takes a little while. I think some time for them 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.000 to get into full full form. It's going to bring 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.679 back the whole you know, should these guys be playing 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.040 more in the preseason or what I mean. You know, 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:36.160 as soon as you start saying that, and then the 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:37.960 guy gets hurt and then he's out, and then all 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.520 the fans are like, that's stupid. But yeah, Trubisky Wood 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:44.120 didn't throw a pass through a pass in the preseason, right, 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.760 And I'm not saying that they should. I'm not saying 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.360 they should. I just think that fans have to temper 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.640 their expectations a little bit. That in the first couple 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:54.720 of weeks of the NFL season, and it happens every year, 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.880 there's a lot of football. It just great football because 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.679 guys are having to use those games games to get 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.760 themselves right because they don't play much in the preseason. 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.080 And I think the Cowboys probably played their vets more 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.200 than most teams around the league, it seemed like this year, 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.160 because it seemed like a lot of teams, like the Rams, 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:12.200 they didn't play anybody pretty much the entire preseason. So 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.240 I was gonna say teams are doing that now, I don't. 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.360 The starters got thirty snaps this preseason, so let's not 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.280 act like it's a lot, but it's more than more 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.400 what a lot of teams have done. So maybe that'll 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:23.520 help them. For the record, I expect them to be 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.520 crisp on offense. I do, yeah, even with Zeke coming 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:28.680 back in three days, I think they're gonna be good. 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.760 I just don't see that that, you know, in the middle, 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.240 middle of the second quarter, or like here's another punt 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.600 like this boring. I just don't see that happening in 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.640 this game. Even if it is, and what they scored 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:41.839 eight points in the opener last year, obviously a lot 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.800 more a lot more talent on offense this year. But 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.240 even if it's the most boring football ever played, it's 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.920 better than having well, not like that, but it's better 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:52.920 than it's better than having lost one of them to 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.960 a tour an ACL in the preseason. Like I'll take sloppy. 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.240 You know, people were tweeting me that last night because 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:01.120 of how vocal I am. I don't care me sloppy 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.520 football with good players over and you know, having to 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:06.360 look at somebody in a boot because they tore their ACL. 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.000 Let's go ahead and take a quick break.

While a player can look good on paper, 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.400 it's when he's out on the field that you really 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.520 find out what he's made of.

It's 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:51.160 the Miller like Cowboys Hour. It's it's pretty cool, like 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.320 if you ever head out there. Um, they do it 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.640 on the patio like the players will take photos and 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:59.600 autographs and Tay and Brad are great obviously, I highly 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:01.760 recommend if you're in the area. I don't know who 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.920 this week's player is actually I heard it is going 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:09.480 to be and that's always tricky. And remember say who 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.640 the player is going to be, because it yeah DeMarcus 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:15.720 where no, no, that's on our other debts for the 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:17.960 other show. I'll just make sure to visit the website 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:24.040 and follow Instagram, Twitter, all the social Poh, sweet Tony Pollard. 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:25.840 Somebody else is with him, but I know it's Tony Pollard. 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:32.120 He's one of the guys m Gay inactives. Let's hit it. 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.520 It's gonna be tough this week. Just speak. I mean, 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.120 all right, well, your injuries are always where you start. 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:39.840 And well, not that anybody's sad about this, but we 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.480 don't have a third quarterback to just automatically sit this year. 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:44.200 White sad about it and and he didn't have a job. 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:48.480 It's true. Um So Donovan Wilson and Darien Thompson. No, 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:52.320 they're Gifford. They're down. Luke Gifford's down. And that's honestly 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.320 where it gets tough. Because the team is healthy for 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.000 the most part. You do have to keep in mind 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:58.880 they're going to have to cut somebody to get Zeke 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.200 onto the roster. They haven't done on that. Expectation of 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:04.760 that is if you put a gun to my head, 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:08.120 Adam Redman, I think he's I mean, or a Brandon Knight, 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:09.760 one of those two. And I don't think it's running back. 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:11.320 You think it's one of the other guy. I think 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.760 maybe they're afraid not I mean, Alfred Morris is a veteran, 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:16.600 but I don't think they want to cut Alfred Morris. 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:18.160 So I thought maybe they would at the start of 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:21.560 the week, but I don't lean that way anymore. So 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.720 we need to get to eight. You need to get 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:25.720 to eight. So one of the two that you just mentioned, 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:27.640 I think it was going to be an active as well. 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.160 I think so. I think you think they're both on 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.320 the list Redman and right And that's what I'm saying. 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:34.200 I think one of them will get cut hopefully bring 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:37.640 him back on the practice squad or whatever. I don't know. So, 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.800 but both of those guys, So Redman night, two guys 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.960 to watch your three hundred guys. That's five, right, Um 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:48.480 a running back probably a running back probably if he's 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:51.400 not cut. Alfred Morris is probably an active. So basically 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.720 one of those three is going to due. So really 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:56.720 you should count two because one of them might get cut. Yeah, 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.920 so count we're at five. Then, well we're counting a 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:01.920 players that are not going to be on this were 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.120 counting to eight instead of seven because one of them 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:07.119 is getting cut. So so you have two more to 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:12.439 go defensive end. That's Joe Jackson probably. Brian brought Us 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:14.960 is and you can read this later today. Brian brought 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:18.360 Us has an interesting suggestion that I think might make 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:26.760 some try try younger Um Tristan Hill, Ye, make him inactive. 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:28.520 They're going to have to make a tough call on 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.840 the defensive line. Let's put it that way, because everybody's healthy. 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.760 I think that's an easy one. Like what why would 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:37.440 you why would you have him on? Like, well, because 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:41.119 he's the rotation you rotate your defensive line. He's fifty 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.240 eighth overall pick. You would think he's good. And I 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.320 mean Tony Pollard but was drafted in the fourth round 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:49.000 and was going to start before Zeke got here. So 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:51.960 it's just it's never a good look when a highly 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.160 drafted guy is a healthy and active We talked about 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.879 it with Taco. I mean if yeah, and it happened. 0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:58.520 So they're not afraid to do it. No, they're not 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.240 afraid and I don't know that. But again, they're gonna 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:02.960 have to make a tough call. So it's always about, 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.359 you know, who does the most on special teams defensive 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:08.080 tackles like other than they don't. But Joe Jackson can 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:10.080 actually run down on a kickoff and right, you need 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:12.359 him too, and he can play a little bit of tackle. Yea. 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:16.800 That yeah, so it's possible. I think Tacco is a 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:20.520 possibility too, right, I think those for the record, Joe 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:23.240 Jackson is also probably possible two out of those three 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:25.840 Tristan Hail, Joe Jackson, Taco. Two out of those guys, 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:30.119 I think you're hurt guys, your offensive lineman, and then 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:32.440 they'll have to make a call on the defensive line. 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.880 No quarterback, no tight and no wide receiver, no cornerback 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:39.040 and don't I don't believe, and safeties are already banged up, 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:40.960 so it's really got to come from that defensive line, 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:44.160 offensive line, and the running back spot. And Jordan Chunam 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:46.199 from what we've seen, he's doing a lot of special 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:49.200 teams stuff, so I can't imagine him being inactive. That's 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:52.680 and so Sean Lee was at practice today, but he 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:56.200 came in halfway through, which leads me to think maybe 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:58.879 he was doing some rehab stuff and he didn't have 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:01.000 his helmet. He wasn't taking part in drills, which maybe 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:05.440 he will, but I was kind of like, interesting, Sean, Sean, 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:07.159 you don't have your helmet on, Like it's going to 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:09.080 be tough for them to get through this game if 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:12.800 they only have basically four linebackers. So something to watch. 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:15.040 I think I think he'll play, but maybe he was 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.720 just chilling. Maybe they're just protecting him to make sure 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:19.880 that by the day of the game. You know, we talked, 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:22.680 We talked about it, like with the constraints on the 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:25.160 roster right now, like I wouldn't be shocked to see 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:27.119 Sean Lee do some special teams. I mean, we've been 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:31.480 talking about it all through training camp. Okay, something to watch, Okay, well, 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:35.960 let's hit the game day predictions. Who wants to get 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:39.280 it started? We talking score, were talking like what we 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:51.679 expect both. Okay, Texas wins five. Come on, Mats. That 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:53.920 was just for fun. That was for fun. That bus 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.960 a bonus prediction, all right, go ahead of I think 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:01.040 Cowboys win. I think Cowboys win in in a close, 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:06.239 low scoring game. I think they end up. Let's go 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:12.119 with seventeen fourteen. Wow, take me through that. Why? Because 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:14.919 I'm still a believer that this will be probably an 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:17.400 ugly game. I don't think both teams. I don't think 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:20.439 both teams will be operating at full goal because I 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:23.040
