Speaker 4: mean and it's gonna feel a little weird. It's gonna
Speaker 4: feel a little different because we still play on Sunday,
Speaker 4: Cowboys taking on the Giants at noon. But just because
Speaker 4: it is a New Year's holiday and we get a
Speaker 4: little bit of time off, that doesn't mean we got
Speaker 4: a time off. Right this second gotta lock in over

Speaker 4: back of Kyle Yeoman's hope you're having a great New
Speaker 4: Year's Eve to start closing out your twenty twenty five
Speaker 4: the right way and getting ready for whatever.
Speaker 3: That move was dark I had to stop doing it.
Speaker 4: Did you start getting one?
Speaker 3: That person is banned for twenty five?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, gone for that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that guy's gone. He didn't you didn't like. You
Speaker 3: didn't like to move.
Speaker 4: I like the moves.
Speaker 6: I liked the move to Speaking of gone, Speaking of gone,
Speaker 6: you said that person's gone.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was talking about I can't just move no
Speaker 5: more because that musical artist has been deleted.
Speaker 7: Delete.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can't say he can't talk about it. Yeah,
Speaker 5: there is somebody else has gone. I believe right.
Speaker 4: There is somebody that is gone, and we're gonna get
Speaker 4: right into it. Largest news of the day yesterday in
Speaker 4: Cowboys Nation Ravoldo Fairweather as a practice squad. He's going
Speaker 4: to Arizona to play with the Cardinals. He will be
Speaker 4: on there, act to froster. Love you, Ravaldo Fairweather. Not
Speaker 4: what I'm talking about, though. Trayvon did is no longer
Speaker 4: a part of the Dallas Cowboys. Released yesterday by the team.
Speaker 4: He has placed on waivers, which up clear at three
Speaker 4: o'clock Central time. Can you get fired on your day
Speaker 4: day off?
Speaker 3: On your day off? I mean it was.
Speaker 5: I mean the divorce was something that a lot of us,
Speaker 5: including plenty of in the fan elite, had foreseen coming
Speaker 5: for quite a while for varying reasons. But nonetheless, I
Speaker 5: think we were all on the same page as far
Speaker 5: as this was. Probably this relationship was going to end. Now,
Speaker 5: would that have been via trade in the offseason as
Speaker 5: many of us thought it would?
Speaker 3: Maybe like a post.
Speaker 5: June cut to maximize savings. There are different ways that
Speaker 5: we could have seen it ending before the final game.
Speaker 5: You didn't see that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, kind of interesting.
Speaker 3: A lot of rumors out there, Yeah, a lot of rumors.
Speaker 5: I can tell you what is what is known, and
Speaker 5: I can confirm, you know, after asking around, asking some questions.
Speaker 5: So obviously this is a culmination of things, right, This
Speaker 5: is you know, going.
Speaker 3: Back to the disconnect.
Speaker 5: Nope, I'm not going to say to my understanding that
Speaker 5: was just weird. Everybody had to my understanding. That's funny, almost.
Speaker 4: Like the understanding came from one spot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which it did.
Speaker 5: It did, all right, everybody's understanding the same text message. Okay,
Speaker 5: so beyond that text message, let's just talk about the real.
Speaker 5: The real is the Cowboys and Trevon Diggs. The rift
Speaker 5: initially began with the disconnect with his rehabilitation from his
Speaker 5: knee surgery. Okay, started there. You know, they refused to
Speaker 5: pay him the five hundred thousand dollars claws because he
Speaker 5: didn't rehab in this facility more than eighty five percent
Speaker 5: of that journey.
Speaker 3: Okay. It began there.
Speaker 5: It continued with and through the Michael Parsons tobaccle yes, okay,
Speaker 5: with he and Michael Parsons holding you know, combo interviews.
Speaker 5: I guess you could say it right at in Oxnard
Speaker 5: at training camp. They didn't like the optics of that,
Speaker 5: so they didn't help the relationship. And then you go
Speaker 5: into the regular season. Ahead of the regular season, what happens,
Speaker 5: Michael Parsons gets traded. We all know Michael Parsons is
Speaker 5: Treyvon Diggs's besty besty, besty, besty besty. Okay, didn't like that. Well,
Speaker 5: Trayvon didn't like that. That drove a wedge even deeper.
Speaker 4: He didn't like those words.
Speaker 3: He didn't like those words, Josh.
Speaker 5: And then you go into the season and now you
Speaker 5: have a disconnect, not simply with the front office, but
Speaker 5: now with your defensive coordinator because you don't like the
Speaker 5: scheme that he's running. Now, to be fair, we don't
Speaker 5: like the scheme that he's running either, difference being we
Speaker 5: don't have.
Speaker 3: To wear the uniform. Zone.
Speaker 5: There you go, Treyvon Diggs at that time during the season,
Speaker 5: although respectfully, he did point out that he feels like
Speaker 5: the Cowboys should run more man versus zone. Obviously, hard
Speaker 5: disagree he was right, so, but nonetheless coaching staff didn't
Speaker 5: much take a liking to that. That drove the wedge
Speaker 5: that much deeper. Then comes the concussion. Okay, the concussion
Speaker 5: that occurred at home. And whether you believe that it
Speaker 5: was the poll that was he was using to hang
Speaker 5: the TV or one of the entertainment variety doesn't matter
Speaker 5: of fact. It wanted the same In fact, is he
Speaker 5: got you know, hitting the head with a pole of
Speaker 5: some sort.
Speaker 4: Yeah tune, Yeah, that was meant for certified bumped.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he got bumped. He got bumped.
Speaker 4: A lot of rumors out there for that, but the
Speaker 4: official statement is.
Speaker 5: That suffered a concussion of severe concussion. He missed a
Speaker 5: couple of games because of that, and then the Cowboys
Speaker 5: put him on i Ard then said it was not
Speaker 5: simply due to the concussion, but also because they felt
Speaker 5: that he needed to get quote unquote get his knee right. Okay,
Speaker 5: So he went to went on to miss at least
Speaker 5: four games. He came back. He was activated at the
Speaker 5: last possible second in his twenty five twenty one day window,
Speaker 5: played against the Chargers, played against the Washington Commanders four
Speaker 5: days later on Christmas and now here comes the final
Speaker 5: chapter of the story, which is Treyvon Diggs did in
Speaker 5: fact ask the Cowboys if he could hang back. Now,
Speaker 5: keep in mind, Treylon Digs is from Maryland, Okay, So
Speaker 5: he asked if he could hang back to be with
Speaker 5: family for the holiday weekend, and he was denied his request.
Speaker 5: His response was he would simply be flying back to
Speaker 5: Dallas just to turn around and fly back to DC,
Speaker 5: back to the Maryland area, to which the Cowboys could
Speaker 5: not have cared less they denied the request.
Speaker 3: Again, he chose to I must state this cod I
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 5: That is a common request for players whenever there is
Speaker 5: a weekend or upcoming days off. So that's not an
Speaker 5: out of the ballpark request. We have Friday, Saturday, Sunday off.
Speaker 5: Can I just stay at the crib?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Okay, let me give contact please. Though he didn't give
Speaker 4: the request ahead of time, he gave it to him
Speaker 4: postgame in the locker room, so it was a late
Speaker 4: request request, so less than an hour before the charter
Speaker 4: was going to take off by him. It was a
Speaker 4: last minute decision by him. I don't think this was
Speaker 4: a Hey on Monday or Tuesday, Trayvon Diggs requested to
Speaker 4: fly back with the team sort of scenario. This was
Speaker 4: a hey, I just thought of this, Can I go?
Speaker 4: And of course, the protocol from a coaching standpoint and
Speaker 4: from a travel and security standpoint is no.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 4: If it's a last minute thing and it's not on
Speaker 4: the itinerary, not on the plan, then no, you can't
Speaker 4: shage what is going to happen there, at least without penalty.
Speaker 4: And we've already seen that this is he was released.
Speaker 4: But this was not a byproduct of a penalty for
Speaker 4: that one specific situation.
Speaker 3: Correct.
Speaker 5: Again, the keyword here is culmination. It was a culmination
Speaker 5: of events and this just happened to be the straw
Speaker 5: that broke the camel's back between the two parties. So
Speaker 5: he did request, was denied. He stayed back anyway. Now,
Speaker 5: of course, there are some things that are coming up
Speaker 5: on Instagram, some allegations as far as a concert is concerned.
Speaker 5: I'll let you guys and the family and the fans,
Speaker 5: I'll let you guys sort through all of that. I'm
Speaker 5: just talking to what I know. What I do know
Speaker 5: is that Trayvon Diggs asked to stay back in Maryland.
Speaker 5: He was told no. He stayed back anyway, Cowboys said
Speaker 5: enough is enough. They waived him twenty four hours on
Speaker 5: the waiver wire, and we'll see if a team picks
Speaker 5: him up, and if not, he'll be free to sign
Speaker 5: with any of the other thirty one teams. And yesterday
Speaker 5: he took on the he hired David Mullighedtto as the agent. So, yeah,
Speaker 5: so you know that's Trayvon Diggs, Trevon Diggs's situation with
Speaker 5: the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: Let's give the context behind that specific Yeah, you know
Speaker 3: who else he represents? Who's that Mike?
Speaker 4: He does represent Michael Love the Green Bay Packer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so that Trayvon. Did he fire his agent
Speaker 3: or not?
Speaker 6: He was not, He was not represented by an agent
Speaker 6: at the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and now he is.
Speaker 4: You know who else? You know who else represents both
Speaker 4: Micah and Trayvon three? And who else he represents Rich Pickings,
Speaker 4: which is going up into a contract negotiation very shortly,
Speaker 4: very shortly.
Speaker 5: So that particular agent has two players who left here
Speaker 5: somewhat disgruntled and has one more player still currently on
Speaker 5: the roster that needs a lot of money. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: I don't like those words.
Speaker 4: He kind of seems like either an act of pettiness
Speaker 4: or at least just the chess move if anything.
Speaker 5: Or Trayvon is just doing what he did in training
Speaker 5: camp and just getting behind Micah. Yeah maybe, which that
Speaker 5: goes to something I tweeted yesterday if he clears Waivers,
Speaker 5: which is becoming more likely that he will, but we'll
Speaker 5: see if he does clear waivers. There are two top
Speaker 5: teams that pop up on my radar full as likely
Speaker 5: Trayvon Diggs destinations, and that would be Green Bay with
Speaker 5: his bestie Michael Parsons and Chicago Bears with his form
Speaker 5: mer coach Al Harris, whom they still have a very
Speaker 5: very good relationship. But then I know a couple others
Speaker 5: popped up. He's mad right Now's like, no, I just
Speaker 5: got it. Yeah, that would be tough, tough, that would
Speaker 5: be tough. But a couple other destinations popped up. I know,
Speaker 5: I saw some people asking me about the possibility of
Speaker 5: New England with Stefan, and I'm like, Stefan didn't have
Speaker 5: a great news day yesterday.
Speaker 4: So that day for the Dicks brothers.
Speaker 5: What is the future in New England look like for
Speaker 5: Stefan Diggs? Based upon once more information tends to come
Speaker 5: out as.
Speaker 4: I think the timing of the release changes that whole
Speaker 4: trajectory because that could have been a possibility. I just
Speaker 4: but right after that story breaks and the felony Chargers
Speaker 4: that Stefan's now having to deal with that, I think
Speaker 4: it completely. I would argue the Commanders would be another
Speaker 4: landing spot for.
Speaker 5: Me, and they're high in the in the waiver order,
Speaker 5: so if they can convince ownership d Q, I mean,
Speaker 5: if he can convince Washing into an ownership to eat
Speaker 5: that contract, it's.
Speaker 6: Only four hundred thousand dollars right in one for one game. Yeah,
Speaker 6: and that would also give you rights.
Speaker 5: To him for the remainder of the contract and then
Speaker 5: you could rework the contract. One gets them in the building.
Speaker 5: So I mean they have the second highest team on
Speaker 5: the waivers is the Giants?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 5: Giants are Cardinals, Giants, Jets. So it goes Raiders and
Speaker 5: that's Raiders Giants. Yesterday was Giants, Jets, Cardinals are they're
Speaker 5: all in that. I think it's Raiders and Commanders have
Speaker 5: four wins, so they're behind those three that we're talking.
Speaker 5: So as a potential free agent somebody who's waiting to
Speaker 5: clear waivers, you're at this time of the season, he's hopeful.
Speaker 5: I would imagine this is me projecting, leaning on my
Speaker 5: former self. I would imagine he's hoping that a playoff team,
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, we'll pick absolutely pick up his current contract
Speaker 5: if he does not clear waivers.
Speaker 3: They are picking up the contract that he had.
Speaker 4: But he's healthy, he's ready to play.
Speaker 3: Right, He's hopeful that a playoff team picks him up.
Speaker 5: But he's also probably like wishing upon the star right
Speaker 5: now that nobody touches him. Therefore he can go pick
Speaker 5: where he wants to go based upon the pool of
Speaker 5: teams that are interested in him. Therefore, he would be
Speaker 5: able to conduct a new contract with this new agent,
Speaker 5: because having a new agent with a pre existing contract
Speaker 5: does absolutely nothing for you, right, and not just any
Speaker 5: old agent, the agent the agent. So that's the latest
Speaker 5: on trewand Digson. Like we said, we'll see where he lands.
Speaker 5: I'm of the belief that what's today Wednesday, I'm of
Speaker 5: the belief he has a new destination. Before Friday Saturday
Speaker 5: at the latest, I think he'll be in someone's building.
Speaker 3: By Does he play this year? I don't know that
Speaker 3: in this season.
Speaker 5: I don't think he plays anyone's regular season finale. But
Speaker 5: if he gets picked up by a playoff team, I
Speaker 5: believe he.
Speaker 4: Plays wildcard weekend with Diggs.
Speaker 5: You'd have time if you claim him more sign him
Speaker 5: this weekend. You got time for to get him ready
Speaker 5: for wildcoch So yeah.
Speaker 4: What is the percentage chance in your mind that he
Speaker 4: gets claimed versus signed prior to the playoffs, because I
Speaker 4: think he will lean him somewhere.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure.
Speaker 5: It was kind of going back and forth on this
Speaker 5: and Josh and now we're talking about it yesterday.
Speaker 3: I'm fifty to fifty on.
Speaker 5: It because of who, because of what teams are in
Speaker 5: the top five of the waiver order.
Speaker 3: What if Cleveland grabs them? Good him and Ward the
Speaker 3: Raiders could grab them.
Speaker 5: They have the top pick in the waiver order right now,
Speaker 5: the top Clevelan waver order.
Speaker 4: I will say these teams are not naive to the
Speaker 4: fact of how he's played this year. They're not naive.
Speaker 4: They may not know the extent of it, and they
Speaker 4: may think a change of scenery. Could I think he's
Speaker 4: gonna be it.
Speaker 5: I don't think there's gonna be a very strong disregard
Speaker 5: for the performance this Ye're understanding the the disgruntledness between
Speaker 5: him and ownership.
Speaker 4: I've got the phrase all pro next to your name. Yeah,
Speaker 4: teams are going to take a chance.
Speaker 3: On somebody will like I'm myself. It's just whether or not.
Speaker 4: They're going to spend the money to do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's still in his twenties. He's not over thirty yet.
Speaker 5: No, Like I've sat here and said, it's had major
Speaker 5: in has flipped a switch.
Speaker 3: Like he is literally the player.
Speaker 5: And you don't like this from a management perspective or
Speaker 5: coaching perspective. You don't like players who turn the light
Speaker 5: on or turn the light off. You just don't, right.
Speaker 5: You like guys who always keep their light on. Right,
Speaker 5: I'm not sure for what place that was, but who
Speaker 5: will keep a light on for you?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 5: But that's what you want, right, You want a guy
Speaker 5: We're not a sponsor, but but yeah, keeps.
Speaker 3: The light on all the area. They definitely do.
Speaker 5: I like some Marriots, But I think in terms of
Speaker 5: his performance, I can look at him and be like, yeah,
Speaker 5: Traymonk can still play.
Speaker 3: I've based upon the system, Trayvon can still play it.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 5: I have no doubts or questions about that it does
Speaker 5: a matter is he motivated and does he want to
Speaker 5: so in the right situation.
Speaker 3: If you are a team.
Speaker 5: That has other players that are on that defense side
Speaker 5: of the ball that can make plays, and if you
Speaker 5: are a team that has somebody that he likes or
Speaker 5: has a relationship with, you are most likely of the
Speaker 5: mindset of, yeah, this is going to be a good
Speaker 5: thing for us, because he'll turn the light on.
Speaker 4: It's not a can he play.
Speaker 5: I don't don't think he's I don't think he's that
Speaker 5: far off where people are like I don't think he
Speaker 5: could play anymore, or I have questions whether or not
Speaker 5: he can play. It's really just he's not happy there.
Speaker 5: And there's a lot of players who've done that.
Speaker 6: But I would argue, if you're a team looking for
Speaker 6: help in the quarterback position, do you look at a
Speaker 6: guy that has an on and off switch. It's like,
Speaker 6: if he doesn't like your defensive dominator, he's going to
Speaker 6: shut it off for the whole year.
Speaker 3: That is my point.
Speaker 5: But I think, again, you want that guy here in
Speaker 5: this organization, with this management and in the history of
Speaker 5: this team.
Speaker 4: The same time, they paid him as the highest paid
Speaker 4: defensive but it's not just a HM took care of
Speaker 4: him when they needed it the most, and when he
Speaker 4: went through surgeries and he went through rehabs, they gave
Speaker 4: him every sort of resource he possibly could. And how
Speaker 4: did he accept those resources? He rejected him. I don't
Speaker 4: know if there's I don't think you can just push
Speaker 4: all that to the side. If he was playing well,
Speaker 4: then maybe that's the case. But he played like garbage
Speaker 4: while he was here. Let's call a spade a space.
Speaker 4: He did not play well in twenty twenty five as
Speaker 4: a part of the Cowboys secondary.
Speaker 3: No'll disagree.
Speaker 4: So what NFL team is gonna look at Trayvon Diggs
Speaker 4: and say, yeah, you know what, We're gonna put all
Speaker 4: our eggs in his basket to possibly be a starter
Speaker 4: for a playoff caliber defense and say, oh, we have
Speaker 4: the track record that makes us feel confident in that sense.
Speaker 3: It's gonna say a lot of them.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So here's the thing. I'm just so, here's the thing.
Speaker 5: There's there's truth in what both of you are saying,
Speaker 5: and I see what both of you're saying, but here's
Speaker 5: the bottom line. The bottom line is contextually speaking, when
Speaker 5: you're one of these other thirty one GMS. Yes, you're
Speaker 5: looking at the fact that Trevon Diggs played poorly in
Speaker 5: twenty twenty fence he dead. Yes, you're looking at the
Speaker 5: fact that he did not get along with his defensive coordinator.
Speaker 5: You know, if you're looking at the fact that you're
Speaker 5: that defensive coordinator might be fired, the fact that no
Speaker 5: one played well for the most part, and that defensive
Speaker 5: coordinators defense, the fact that that defensive coordinator's defense allowed
Speaker 5: almost five hundred yards on average like historically and the
Speaker 5: previous deal and right, yeah, So the general manager and
Speaker 5: the owner of the other thirty one teams, they're looking
Speaker 5: at the whole of the So you're right, Kyle. They
Speaker 5: are saying, well, you know, he's coming off of knee injuries,
Speaker 5: major knee injuries, and he didn't play nice in twenty
Speaker 5: twenty five with his DC or that organization.
Speaker 3: But they're also saying.
Speaker 5: Well, that DC, I could see if the defense was
Speaker 5: playing well, but Treyvon was the dark spot. Nobody was
Speaker 5: playing well. So and this is not me taking side
Speaker 5: one way or the other. This is saying, I see
Speaker 5: what you're saying, I see what you're saying. In the
Speaker 5: bottom line is I'm telling you, somebody have to take it.
Speaker 5: There will be if he clears waivers. There's a playoff
Speaker 5: team that is oh yeah, willing, I'm saying Trevon. But
Speaker 5: they won't view it as putting all of their eggs
Speaker 5: in his basket, because if you're a playoff team, you
Speaker 5: likely already have at least one dude in your in
Speaker 5: your sex hopefully hopefully at least one dude, So adding
Speaker 5: him you could look at it as a I'm just
Speaker 5: going to say the name as from the how we
Speaker 5: standpoint of overkill, intentional overkill, right, That's something Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 5: do all the time, intentional overkill.
Speaker 4: My point here in bringing all this up is is
Speaker 4: to not say who or that he won't be signed.
Speaker 4: I think he will be signed for sure. I don't
Speaker 4: think he's going to be picked up on waivers for
Speaker 4: the four four hundred million dollar or four hundred and
Speaker 4: seventy thousand dollars going into the final week, and then
Speaker 4: somebody's gonna want that contract in twenty twenty six on
Speaker 4: their books immediately and then have to rework it, agreed.
Speaker 4: I think he passes through waivers sure, and then it's
Speaker 4: wide open to anybody, and if you throw a couple
Speaker 4: one hundred thousand dollars at him at that point, but
Speaker 4: you don't have any sort of tie to him in
Speaker 4: the future. I think that's where it would possibly be better.
Speaker 5: Teams are going to give themselves out an out, a
Speaker 5: lot of outs in his contract based upon what your.
Speaker 4: Still whole scenario. I just don't think anybody's gonna pick
Speaker 4: him up on waivers.
Speaker 5: The question is his psychology. The question is not his
Speaker 5: physical play from I would argue, I would argue it.
Speaker 5: I would argue both right now, the management, he.
Speaker 4: Hasn't been the same after those injury.
Speaker 5: None of the corners for the Dallas Cowboys have you
Speaker 5: had two ballhawks who played like trash over the last
Speaker 5: two years.
Speaker 3: The point being, you don't know.
Speaker 5: In this twenty twenty five defense, you don't know because
Speaker 5: you're right, he's coming off of those injuries.
Speaker 3: That's a concern, But you don't know if he was
Speaker 3: going to.
Speaker 5: Be able to get back to peak fourm because the
Speaker 5: scheme he was dropped in was not conducive to him
Speaker 5: getting back to peak form.
Speaker 3: So the thing is you you don't know.
Speaker 5: So if you're an opposing GM or an opposing owner
Speaker 5: of the other thirty Winter tires. You look at what
Speaker 5: your defense runs, who your DC is, and you say,
Speaker 5: does Trayvon Digs fit this particular sitution, this personnel and
Speaker 5: this personnel, and that's what you're looking at. And plenty
Speaker 5: of teams will say, that's a former All pro, he's
Speaker 5: still in his late twenties. We can fix them. Somebody's
Speaker 5: going to say it. Somebody's going to say it. And again,
Speaker 5: lot of teams, that's right, and they're not. They're not
Speaker 5: looking at it. A's pushing their eggs all into that basket.
Speaker 5: Because if you're a playoff team, then again likely you
Speaker 5: have at least one or two.
Speaker 4: If you're signing to be a backup, then I think
Speaker 4: you're fine.
Speaker 5: Is going to go to it saying he's going to
Speaker 5: start that is going to go to a loaded team.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna tell you that's what I mean right now.
Speaker 5: I hate he is going He doesn't want to be
Speaker 5: the guy. He wants to be another guy, a part
Speaker 5: of a lot of other guys. Yes, he's gonna go
Speaker 5: to a team that is already loaded. And you're gonna
Speaker 5: be like, are you freaking kidding me? That's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 5: I'm just telling you that's what's gonna happen. And you're
Speaker 5: gonna sit there, You're gonna be like, you gotta be
Speaker 5: freaking kidding, you be oh good for them. And he's
Speaker 5: gonna go out there. He's probably gonna ball out because
Speaker 5: he's playing with other guys. It's fun for him and
Speaker 5: he likes way who is around. That's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 3: We will.
Speaker 4: I want to revisit this couple weeks.
Speaker 3: He's gonna go to a shaded team, bro, because.
Speaker 4: I I don't three I think he I think he
Speaker 4: will go to a loaded team, but I don't think
Speaker 4: he's gonna play a lot, and I don't think he's
Speaker 4: gonna be as big of an impact player.
Speaker 6: You might have that moment, you might get a pick
Speaker 6: or something crazy, but like long term.
Speaker 3: Which I don't see it, I can't speak to.
Speaker 4: It hasn't been on there.
Speaker 5: Which if he gets an interception in the playoffs, that
Speaker 5: will be one more interception that he got the entirety
Speaker 5: of twenty twenty five with this DC.
Speaker 4: That's not a high bar to region.
Speaker 3: No, it's not. What I'm simply saying is the improve
Speaker 3: when it's the improvement.
Speaker 5: I'm not saying he will go back to first team
Speaker 5: All pros.
Speaker 3: In three years, but I do feel everybody. I do
Speaker 3: feel like, yeah, but who else has played well?
Speaker 4: Mm hmm, No, I get it.
Speaker 5: Show.
Speaker 3: Yes, I know here, I said this whole day.
Speaker 5: But I'm it's not very good talking about two of
Speaker 5: the previous years, two of the best ballhawks in football.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, both of them have gotten in different years.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter.
Speaker 5: Both of them have gotten extensions, yes, yes, and both
Speaker 5: of them have done what since those extensions? Not anything
Speaker 5: because of them or because of the coordinators.
Speaker 3: Who knows.
Speaker 5: You can't say both guys are just falling because they
Speaker 5: both just failed.
Speaker 3: Everybody's not suddenly forgetting how to play exactly. I'm not
Speaker 3: taking any responsibility off of him. What I'm saying is
Speaker 3: there's a common theme.
Speaker 4: Sounds like you're making excuses, not at all.
Speaker 5: I'm just telling you that he's going to go to
Speaker 5: a loaded team, and because he's fully capable of playing
Speaker 5: well if the system allows for him, he's going to
Speaker 5: select a system that works for him. That's just what
Speaker 5: you do when you're if you've become a free agent,
Speaker 5: He's going to have success. Now, I'm not which any
Speaker 5: bad aou here in any of those teas. I'm just
Speaker 5: telling you that the boy can still play. He decided
Speaker 5: not to play, I don't. I don't think so, Okay,
Speaker 5: I'm telling you he decided not to play here anymore.
Speaker 4: And how is that indicative of a good football player?
Speaker 4: Like how it's not he hates football, that's bad. If
Speaker 4: you don't like football, then that's not. If you don't
Speaker 4: want to be your best?
Speaker 6: How many times did you get at every levels?
Speaker 5: I hear you, guys from the fan perspective, I'm telling
Speaker 5: you from the locker room perspective, there are plenty of
Speaker 5: guys who turned the switch off and turn it on.
Speaker 5: I completely there's a lot of guys that are in
Speaker 5: that locker room that do the same exact thing.
Speaker 3: We've seen it before.
Speaker 5: How many you guys have seen players in this locker
Speaker 5: room say you don't play one hundred percent every play?
Speaker 3: That's true?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he got absolutely he hadn't played well wherever
Speaker 4: he went.
Speaker 5: Also seen guys who have left his locker room because
Speaker 5: they didn't like things that were going on here.
Speaker 3: They went to other teams and they're Bawling who de
Speaker 3: Marcus Lawrence.
Speaker 4: Okay d Law is a great example, but de Law
Speaker 4: was playing well all the way through.
Speaker 5: De Law wasn't having a great great season here either,
Speaker 5: and then he he was hurt the whole year.
Speaker 3: So it was trahan Oka that was it different.
Speaker 4: One of them was a mental fortitude leader and the
Speaker 4: other one is Trayvon Diggs. That's the difference. How many
Speaker 4: times did you criticize Trayvon for not wanting to come
Speaker 4: up and make a tackle, not in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 4: but in twenty twenty three and twenty four when he
Speaker 4: was still a significant part.
Speaker 5: Is that absolutely the same way I say critique Ceedee
Speaker 5: Lamb for not going out of blocking the stand way
Speaker 5: to critique Dak Prescott for not reading coverages. Everybody has
Speaker 5: their faughts, everybody has areas that they have to improve upon.
Speaker 5: I'm just telling you from my eyes, my analytical eyes,
Speaker 5: he is of the persona that will decide to or
Speaker 5: not to.
Speaker 4: You don't like that, you don't like that.
Speaker 5: The reality is every player that walks in the locker
Speaker 5: room has that choice. And your reality is every player
Speaker 5: that's on your roster is not playing with the light
Speaker 5: switch on all the time. That's the reality. There's not
Speaker 5: one roster that has everybody playing with the light switch on.
Speaker 5: It's not there's not it's not realistic to even think
Speaker 5: that it sounds good. It's nice to think about. That's
Speaker 5: not reality. Reality is players turning on their tenner off.
Speaker 5: Difference is some guys are in a freaking free fish
Speaker 5: bowl because they're that good.
Speaker 4: Agree, If they weren't that good, you wouldn't be.
Speaker 5: Talking about him. He is that good of over dog
Speaker 5: on ballhawk. Does he miss sometimes? Absolutely? Most ballhawks take risks.
Speaker 5: He's a wallhak who takes risk at his career. Here
Speaker 5: in twenty five has been disgruntled from training camp. He
Speaker 5: didn't want to be here no more. He didn't want
Speaker 5: to be here no more. The contract said be here
Speaker 5: every day. All right, I'm here, give me my check
Speaker 5: until I get out of this situation.
Speaker 3: Once I get out of this situation, watch this turn light.
Speaker 4: I think there are I think you're right. In most cases,
Speaker 4: we're gonna find out. I just don't believe that with Trayvon.
Speaker 4: I think that is the case for the most part.
Speaker 6: The most part, I think he's going to turn it
Speaker 6: on and then realize, Oh wow, I didn't do enough.
Speaker 4: I didn't prepare enough.
Speaker 6: I wasn't here in the facility enough to contribute and
Speaker 6: be ready at my full capacity in order to be
Speaker 6: the guy that I once was.
Speaker 4: His best days are behind him. I completely agree. And
Speaker 4: DeMarcus Lawrence when he left, we went on this show
Speaker 4: and said, Wow, d Lall landed in Seattle. He's back
Speaker 4: with his defensive line coach that was here in Adam Dirty,
Speaker 4: who's now the defensive coordinator up in Seattle. That's a
Speaker 4: great fit. I think d Law is going to have
Speaker 4: a solid year. I'm not saying that.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 5: We are really dealing with some recency buyers here, because
Speaker 5: I remember d Law was absolutely scraped by the Cowboys
Speaker 5: fans for saying that they were tired at the back
Speaker 5: end of that season.
Speaker 3: Run.
Speaker 5: Oh how people forget So Yes, I agree Dee Law
Speaker 5: was one of the consummate leaders in the locker room.
Speaker 5: But yeah, but he also did want verbalize something that
Speaker 5: Isaiah is verbalizing right now. Some players turn the switch on,
Speaker 5: turn the switch off. Some players make experiences even when
Speaker 5: they're leaders in the locker room, and they shouldn't. But
Speaker 5: because d Law is playing so well, fans have forgotten that.
Speaker 5: They dragged him over the coals for saying that the
Speaker 5: Cowboys got tired. They dragged him over the cos this
Speaker 5: free agency. When he said he knew he wasn't going
Speaker 5: to win a Super Bowl, Well, yeah, so he went
Speaker 5: to Seattle and everyone said, well, you're not gonna have
Speaker 5: a better chance in Seattle.
Speaker 4: He sure did.
Speaker 3: Sure did.
Speaker 5: My point being don't forget certain things because you want
Speaker 5: to point out other things.
Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 5: As far as Trailon Diggs goes, I do believe his
Speaker 5: best days are behind him. I don't believe all of
Speaker 5: his good days are behind him. That's the best play.
Speaker 4: I've got a percentage of snaps in my head. I'm
Speaker 4: gonna tell you guys in the break, if he hits that,
Speaker 4: I will run a half marathon in the playoffs.
Speaker 3: Cool if he hit it.
Speaker 4: No, No, I'm not going. I don't want to tell myself,
Speaker 4: but I like I I've got a percentage that if
Speaker 4: he plays that percentage of defensive snaps in the playoffs.
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 4: You just told me this was all about this year,
Speaker 4: this whole conversation.
Speaker 3: No, he said, we don't.
Speaker 4: We're talking about want to go long term, long term.
Speaker 5: He just said that, Adams, I said no, no, no, no,
Speaker 5: I said, hold on.
Speaker 4: We gotta go to break. When we come back, we'll
Speaker 4: continue this conversation with more talks and cowboys after this
Speaker 4: find it.
Speaker 2: Every day begins with a promise, a promise to work
Speaker 2: hard and to build a future. That's why we're here

Speaker 7: To Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 4: Back here on Talking Cowboys presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company.
Speaker 4: Here from The Star in Frisco, Patrick Nocy, Walker, Josh Rodriguez,
Speaker 4: Isaiah stand back. I'm Kyle Yeomans with Chris Beam in
Speaker 4: the back. A couple of comments that I thought were funny. Man,
Speaker 4: this is great from Melvin. He just thinks that the
Speaker 4: debate going back and forth is significant. The ultra Cowboy
Speaker 4: agrees with me. He says there's a better chance of
Speaker 4: a leprechaun popping out of your lucky charms than kids
Speaker 4: becoming a good player. Again, which I agree. I just
Speaker 4: don't think you They.
Speaker 3: Are also those who agree with you.
Speaker 4: There are some people that agree with Isaiah, and that's
Speaker 4: a part of it. I think both of them have
Speaker 4: legitimate thoughts. And I think if you think dig still
Speaker 4: has it left, then he could be productive somewhere down
Speaker 4: the line. I just don't think he's one of those.
Speaker 4: I'm not one of those guys. I don't think he
Speaker 4: has anything left, and that's part of it. We are
Speaker 4: going to find out. So in the break We didn't
Speaker 4: even get the chance to talk about it because I
Speaker 4: was trying to find a clip here for Isaiah out there.
Speaker 4: We did figure out it's not there. I haven't gotten
Speaker 4: a chance. It's definitely there. The thought process for you,
Speaker 4: we did clear this up. You were talking about long term.
Speaker 4: I'm talking about I don't think he has a period,
Speaker 4: but I'm saying immediately with a team, he's not going
Speaker 4: to make an impact I don't think he'll make an
Speaker 4: impact anywhere anymore, Pierce.
Speaker 5: I think it depends on the organization. I think it
Speaker 5: depends on the organization. If he clears waivers. He has
Speaker 5: an agent now that is very smart, that knows how
Speaker 5: to select a team that contractually he'll be fine.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 5: There will be outs for the team, of course, because
Speaker 5: of all these question marks that they have, But it's
Speaker 5: gonna be a team that has as that is of
Speaker 5: his best interest, not It's not even gonna be the
Speaker 5: money bag up front. It's going to be I think
Speaker 5: that his contract is going to be stretched it away.
Speaker 3: It's like, all right, but let me show you.
Speaker 4: More importantly, he wants to be on a team that
Speaker 4: is loaded.
Speaker 5: He wants to be on a loaded team. Yeah, that's
Speaker 5: and that's what I foresee happening.
Speaker 4: So that he can look good again, so that absolutely.
Speaker 5: He doesn't want to bear the weight of it. He
Speaker 5: wants to be a complimentary not that guy. He wants
Speaker 5: to be a really good complimentary player.
Speaker 4: Hey you're not that guy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I just don't think that he wants
Speaker 5: the responsibility of being that guy.
Speaker 3: I think he could be that guy if he wanted
Speaker 3: to again, But it's a choice.
Speaker 4: But it's a problem.
Speaker 3: I say it's an absolute problem. But it happens in
Speaker 3: every locker room. Gosh, I just think it's a st Again,
Speaker 3: I will state this.
Speaker 5: I think it's a stretch to say that all of
Speaker 5: the good football.
Speaker 3: Is going from Trayvon Diggs.
Speaker 5: We can say all of the elite football is likely
Speaker 5: going from Treyvon Diggs. But I still think he can
Speaker 5: be one of the better. And don't twist my words.
Speaker 5: I didn't say one of the best, one of the
Speaker 5: better cornerbacks in the league in the right situation. The
Speaker 5: final elite is there is there a statistic that you
Speaker 5: would that you can attach to it, like.
Speaker 4: If you're getting Pro Bowls and All Pros, that would be.
Speaker 3: An He was elite.
Speaker 5: Now he's I think he can be good. I don't
Speaker 5: think he will be good.
Speaker 4: Would probably be like a serviceable starter in the league.
Speaker 5: Right, twelfth best corner in the league, something like that. Yeah, see,
Speaker 5: you're not going to be a starting He's.
Speaker 3: Not going to be. I think he's a starter in
Speaker 3: the right situation. I think he's a starter.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's pulled out that Josh Norman comparison, and I'm like,
Speaker 6: all right.
Speaker 4: I could he could see that falls apart as and
Speaker 4: begins a journeyman career on the back half. Maybe I
Speaker 4: think that could be a post.
Speaker 5: I still think there are good days left in him.
Speaker 5: That's my only stance. I can't subscribe to the the
Speaker 5: fact that somehow Trevon Diggs has forgotten how to play
Speaker 5: football or doesn't love the game, he didn't love the city.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's either one of those things. I
Speaker 4: just don't think he's got it left in him from
Speaker 4: a health stample.
Speaker 5: So throw this out here. Nay Shan right is tied
Speaker 5: for second leader in the league and interceptions.
Speaker 4: Yes, he's not moving over from a starting spot. Darn it,
Speaker 4: he's not moving over. He should have made a Pro Bowl.
Speaker 4: He probably will if they don't make the Uh, this.
Speaker 5: Is a player that we said yeah too, right, yeah, sure,
Speaker 5: so Rico goes well, right, yeah, Okay, the right situation,
Speaker 5: I you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Different situations. It's even more Take guys, I'm through multiple
Speaker 4: surgeries major knee You're.
Speaker 5: Talking about lesser players though, that are still doing well
Speaker 5: because of the right situation. Sure, that happens everything, that's
Speaker 5: what in his Okay, I don't see how you see
Speaker 5: it as being different.
Speaker 4: He's gone through major knee injuries and he hasn't played
Speaker 4: the same. He's never been the same. He had a
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one year where he had an incredible season
Speaker 4: and he hasn't played nearly that since. Then twenty three,
Speaker 4: twenty four to twenty five doesn't matter. He never played
Speaker 4: the same. Tell me one year where he was even
Speaker 4: close to what he had been when prior to de coordinator.
Speaker 3: No, he didn't.
Speaker 4: He played like garbage the whole time when in the
Speaker 4: back half of dan Quinn being here. Twenty twenty three,
Speaker 4: he was not very good. Twenty twenty four, he was
Speaker 4: not very good. We talked about this on the show
Speaker 4: multiple times.
Speaker 3: He didn't play well with dan Quinn.
Speaker 9: At the back half after the injuries. No, no, Holy cow,
Speaker 9: all right, this is.
Speaker 3: The do you want to do? Cube? I was gonna say,
Speaker 3: this is the best QB vision ever.
Speaker 4: I Selective memory is a is A is a disease.
Speaker 4: This isn't selective memory. This is remembering. He's not the
Speaker 4: same player.
Speaker 3: Who is the same player on your team right now?
Speaker 7: Kyle?
Speaker 3: Then what then you've had on your roster the last
Speaker 3: four years?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 3: Same player?
Speaker 6: I'd argue Digizo has been a consistent player since he's
Speaker 6: been here.
Speaker 4: I'd argue that he had the bound season last year,
Speaker 4: had some These are all younger guys anyways, though, I
Speaker 4: mean Tyler Smith, We've just had a conversation.
Speaker 3: I've taking Osa's place since he got his extension.
Speaker 4: Absolutely w C got here. Absolutely, ceedee Lamb, Ceedee Lamb
Speaker 4: has certainly been an uptick since he got his extension.
Speaker 4: Dak Prescott's continued to take a step forward with CD he.
Speaker 5: Got he took a step back before taking step forward,
Speaker 5: but that's because he mistraining him.
Speaker 4: Yeah that was coming off of an injury. Yeah, which
Speaker 4: plays a factor.
Speaker 3: It does.
Speaker 4: All right, do you want to do QB vision and
Speaker 4: previate Giants. Absolutely. All right, let's do it, Beamer.
Speaker 11: Let's get why Eddie cut up.
Speaker 1: It's time for QB vision with Isaiah's stand back.
Speaker 4: Day when we're weekn with the Giants defense.
Speaker 3: All right, let's hurry get through this because we got
Speaker 3: a short, short version of this. All right.
Speaker 5: They are multiple, multiple in their offerings. These guys run
Speaker 5: everything from a ford to a one, to a three
Speaker 5: to an invert two. They mix it up relatively well
Speaker 5: on the on the defensive side of the ball, I
Speaker 5: respect it. You can't really rest a shirt on what
Speaker 5: it is that they're going to do. They got some dudes, man,
Speaker 5: The Giants aren't as bad as people think they are.
Speaker 5: They got some They got some solid guys on defense.
Speaker 5: If they're if they are loaded anywhere is on the
Speaker 5: defensive side of the ball, for sure. They still got
Speaker 5: Sexy Dexy. I don't think he's a player that he
Speaker 5: I don't think he's the player that he used to be.
Speaker 5: But Sexy Dexi is still He's still a force that
Speaker 5: you have to be aware of. You have to you
Speaker 5: gotta account for him.
Speaker 4: You gotta have a different defensive coordinator. You have a
Speaker 4: couple of extra surgeries. Sexy dexy players and it's a
Speaker 4: different player time time. Han't turn it off.
Speaker 3: He has a nickname.
Speaker 4: Did he turn it on? Did he turn it off?
Speaker 4: Is there a light switch there?
Speaker 3: I don't know. It's sometimes said a lot of big guys.
Speaker 3: Do we saw we saw? I love it. Hey, Chris
Speaker 3: Jones turning on to turn it off this year? Yeah,
Speaker 3: we just wanted real You don't want that on your roster.
Speaker 5: Mid play we saw mid playin play, all right, so
Speaker 5: is that to watch somebody walking the end zone? Okay,
Speaker 5: turn it on to turn it off. So Sexy Dexi
Speaker 5: is their nose guard. He likes to line up right
Speaker 5: over the center. So he is going to causeo BB
Speaker 5: a lot of one on one opportunities. This is say
Speaker 5: like that, I'm not even gonna say problems, but Cooper BB,
Speaker 5: you better eat some extra ham or something this week
Speaker 5: because Sexy Decks he's gonna literally just grab your shoulder
Speaker 5: pass and try to walk you back into Decks or
Speaker 5: Milton's pocket whoever is playing quarterback tomorrow or this week.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, we'll see. But anyway, so that's that.
Speaker 5: I don't think he's not doing a whole lot of
Speaker 5: stuff for just pushing a pile. But what he does
Speaker 5: do for the rest of the defensive line is he
Speaker 5: creates levels, usually a pocket you like to see like
Speaker 5: a little half circle, so that your quarterback, you know,
Speaker 5: running defensive ends have to run the loop and his
Speaker 5: quarterback has.
Speaker 3: A place to step up. Sexy Dexy Dexy does not.
Speaker 5: Really allow for that, which is why he can remain
Speaker 5: impactful because he is so big, he is so powerful.
Speaker 5: He can push the center back and all of a sudden,
Speaker 5: there are levels between your center, your guard, and your tackle.
Speaker 5: So if there's levels instead of there being a pocket,
Speaker 5: and now there's seams for guys to be able to
Speaker 5: get in and run different stunts. Who are those guys
Speaker 5: that are running stunts. Well, the guy that I really really,
Speaker 5: really really like on their side of the ball, and
Speaker 5: that's their inside linebacker, Bobby ok I like him a lot.
Speaker 3: He fifty number fifty eight.
Speaker 4: He loved these like linebackers with long like multiple syllable
Speaker 4: last day Africans.
Speaker 10: Bro.
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say I'm saying that he's Africans.
Speaker 3: He can say I say he's Nigerian.
Speaker 5: These cats can play, Yeah, me, these boys could play
Speaker 5: and then they're in the international. You know, whatever thing
Speaker 5: that the NFL is doing is really opening it up
Speaker 5: for these guys. We're starting to see it, so that's
Speaker 5: pretty awesome. But yeah, these casts can play at the
Speaker 5: second level. Bobby is nice, he's physical. Brian Burns, to me,
Speaker 5: obviously he's a He's has had a good career. I
Speaker 5: don't think that his light switch is necessarily on right now.
Speaker 5: Brian Burns is obviously somebody that you have to account for.
Speaker 5: But again, he's to me, he's one of those players
Speaker 5: that turns it on, turns it off, very impactful. They
Speaker 5: got account for him because when he does turn it on,
Speaker 5: you can't really do anything about it. But one person
Speaker 5: who does not turn their light switch on or off,
Speaker 5: it just stays on. It is a freaking led, okay
Speaker 5: led that doesn't go out at all. His name is
Speaker 5: Abdull Carter. Yeah, fifty one defensive end, freaking monster monster.
Speaker 3: They were not.
Speaker 5: They weren't lying when they said that he was Micah
Speaker 5: Parson's esh.
Speaker 3: They weren't lying.
Speaker 4: About he He looks like him, honestly, he does.
Speaker 5: He body type looks like him. He has a he
Speaker 5: has a motor like a Max Crosby. Though he's gonna
Speaker 5: be a He's gonna be a hell of a player for.
Speaker 3: A long time.
Speaker 5: I really like his game. He every play he takes,
Speaker 5: every snap is balls to the wall. It is one
Speaker 5: hundred percent. You're getting everything that he has. You's getting
Speaker 5: every move. He'll empty the tank. Look at you, you
Speaker 5: got me, I'm coming right back at you like. He's
Speaker 5: that type of player. He has a lot of different moves.
Speaker 5: He could speed rush you, he could bull rush you.
Speaker 5: He'll spend, he'll do They'll they'll walk him off the ball,
Speaker 5: have a three down looks like a three down line.
Speaker 5: He'll be off the ball and they're gonna What they're
Speaker 5: gonna do is put Sexy Dexi.
Speaker 3: At the nose guard position over the center.
Speaker 5: He'll go out there, take the center, and then all
Speaker 5: of a sudden, you got Abdua Carter running off of
Speaker 5: that on a stunt. They do a lot of stuff
Speaker 5: like that to create pressures. Usually their pressure comes from
Speaker 5: five man rushes, not necessarily four, not necessarily six man rushes.
Speaker 5: So they'll bring the four down linemen and then bring
Speaker 5: a fifth guy, and a lot of times they'll have
Speaker 5: they'll bring an out. They'll bring a linebacker, so carri
Speaker 5: k and they'll bring ab Dual Carter from off the ball,
Speaker 5: so three down linemen. Even though Abdua Carter is a
Speaker 5: d n Okay, they'll they'll have them off the ball
Speaker 5: and they'll run stunts with him and o Karake and
Speaker 5: then that creates a lot of problems. And then the
Speaker 5: secondary not necessarily impressive, but they don't have a problem
Speaker 5: walking up and manning you up and stand in your

Speaker 4: And what do we call this show? That's before the
Speaker 4: Cowboys take the field every week? Say it with the
Speaker 4: jang chest. I love it. And that's what we're doing,
Speaker 4: all right. Josh is gonna say.
Speaker 6: Get to popcorn ready? It is the last one of
Speaker 6: the season. It is the last one. Oh fear my goodness,
Speaker 6: you'll know the deal. It's a bold prediction segment with
Speaker 6: a cinematic twist. It's been a fun year, lots of
Speaker 6: great movies, and we've got just three more to finish
Speaker 6: us off.
Speaker 3: Finish us off.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna finish you off, buddy.
Speaker 6: And because there are too many movies, you've got to baby,
Speaker 6: and you'll only get one ticket.
Speaker 5: First up, we've got I don't want any tickets.
Speaker 4: You're gonna want this movie, mad so mad.
Speaker 6: The Last Guys Match gave us Russell Wilson in super
Speaker 6: Bowl Champion form, which turned out to be more indicative
Speaker 6: of your defense than a dangerous come back. And now
Speaker 6: rookie Jackson Dart leads the g men. He's a young
Speaker 6: man who's brought some juice, some swagger in New York.
Speaker 6: He's got thirteen ten he's on the season compared to
Speaker 6: only five interceptions, and if any team needs a get
Speaker 6: right game, they know just who to call. This is
Speaker 6: Darty Supreme, Darty Supreme, Arty Supreme. All right, Jackson Dart
Speaker 6: ends with a passer rating over one forty.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, Jesus good, that's a hefty passer rating.
Speaker 3: He kills you. That's bold, he kills you.
Speaker 4: Number two. I on the ball carrier, all right, I
Speaker 4: on the Yeah. You see.
Speaker 6: Malie Davis just ran for over one hundred yards for
Speaker 6: the first time in his career. He's been around for years,
Speaker 6: but something clicked in the second half of the season,
Speaker 6: a gear we haven't seen before.
Speaker 4: We still believe in.
Speaker 6: Javante, But if Davante can't go, I want to believe
Speaker 6: Malik Davis goes back to back with another one hundred
Speaker 6: yard game.
Speaker 4: Or is it a happy blue year?
Speaker 3: Guys?
Speaker 6: Does film MafA get activated MAA? The young Guns steal
Speaker 6: the shine in the season finalite. My stat prediction is
Speaker 6: Malik Davis rushes for one hundred plus yards in consecutive games,
Speaker 6: all right, and number.
Speaker 4: Three, The numbers don't lie.
Speaker 6: Nine straight wins over the Giants, sixteen of the last seventeen,
Speaker 6: dating back to twenty sixteen, Time and time again, Dallas
Speaker 6: treated the New York Football Giants like little brother. And
Speaker 6: then the final game of twenty twenty five, we aint leaving.
Speaker 4: We ain't going nowhere because we are the Wolves of
Speaker 4: Wall Street.
Speaker 6: The Cowboys steal another one over the Giants on a
Speaker 6: butter Aubrey game winner.
Speaker 4: Oh Cowboys Nation.
Speaker 6: No matter how the season went, no matter what changes
Speaker 6: are coming, some traditions remain the same.
Speaker 4: Cowboys over Giants.
Speaker 6: Get your popcorn ready because it's time for a show, Baby.
Speaker 5: Raja, I am buying my ticket to the All eyes
Speaker 5: on the what's it running back?
Speaker 3: What was the second one?
Speaker 5: I on the ball, I on the ballcare carrier. Yes,
Speaker 5: I in a ball carre and that's what I want.
Speaker 4: I'm going with him. I'm taking that one for yeah.
Speaker 4: I like the last one is the Wolves of Wall
Speaker 4: Street the possibility. I just don't think it's gonna be
Speaker 4: that close. I think I don't think it'll take a
Speaker 4: game winner from being a butter.
Speaker 5: I'm buying Wolves of Wall Street because although I can't
Speaker 5: buy two tickets, I think Jackson Dodd has himself a
Speaker 5: game against this day, probably, But I also think that
Speaker 5: if Dak does play as they plan for him to
Speaker 5: do so, Dak absolutely owns the Giants, So I think
Speaker 5: Dak and the offensive starters will have their way against
Speaker 5: the defense of the New York Giants. But I also
Speaker 5: think Jackson Dart is going to have some fun, so
Speaker 5: I think it could be a close game, and I
Speaker 5: think but Aubrey might be tasked with winning this, so
Speaker 5: I'm taking Wolves of Wall Street.
Speaker 3: I think that this defense is gonna blitz like twenty
Speaker 3: five percent of the ye for.
Speaker 4: Coming after it, for sure.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Joe Milton gets the dart. By the way, he
Speaker 11: would be just the second rookie Giants quarterback in history
Speaker 11: to beat the Cowboys in his rookie season. Only one
Speaker 11: that has ever done it was Eli Manning back in
Speaker 11: two thousand and four. All of the rookie quarterbacks against
Speaker 11: Dallas are combined er for six, and.
Speaker 4: It's his first time playing the Cowboys and his first
Speaker 4: time starting against the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: He played.
Speaker 4: That's that's yeah, starting against the Cowboys definitely the case.
Speaker 4: All right, it's time now for our Pickham segment. I
Speaker 4: did text Chris Beam for the name again. You might
Speaker 4: need to assist me here, Beamer after your Beamer bulletin?

Speaker 3: What's the game, pat game? This is a game.
Speaker 5: If if King Henry doesn't fumble, I'm taking Ravens. So yeah,
