Here we go. He was 15 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 1: They called him drive by. I don't think he could 16 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: play in the league the way it is today because 17 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: of the way he hits. But uh that or Matt Johnson, 18 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: you know, remember him the Unicorn? Did he didn't he 19 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: knock himself out like he knocked himself out of playing 20 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: hitting good too hard? He did? He? I don't know 21 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: that guy. I think he ever had a hamstring healthy 22 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: long enough to knock himself out. No, you're thinking of 23 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: Justin Burrio. Here we go Justin Burio about Yeah another safety. Yeah, 24 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: they both played safety. They both looked like each other, 25 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: and that neither one of them really turned out to 26 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: be that good. Yeah, right, injury, different kinds of injuries. Hey, Nick, 27 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: I just want you to know, um, shout out, shout 28 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: out to our our website faithful who used the mail 29 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: bag function, because the mailbag is full of people offering 30 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: you suggestions and critiques of the numbers that you choose, 31 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: so good. Just want those people you're seen, You're seen 32 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: and noticed. Well. I just just so everyone's clear. I've 33 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: said this before. There's the right answer, and then there's 34 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: my answer. So I mean, I know my answer is 35 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: not a number, right. I think it is in thirty seven, 36 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: though I can't think of that many other other thirty sevens. 37 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: Though I think we're I think we're on the night 38 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: track the go ahead. Yeah, No, I can't think of 39 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: a thirty seven around the team right now? Is there? 40 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: Chiquon Hardy? I believe if you count practice squad as 41 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: the team, right he's thirty seven and he was one 42 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: two by the way, oh ab yeah yeah, he was 43 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: another safety. Yeah. All right, let's jump right in. We 44 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: gotta we gotta catch up on some injuries and some 45 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: some personnel things before we get to our storylines we 46 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: we always do on Fridays. I'll lay out some storylines 47 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: for you guys and get your opinions on the storylines 48 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: heading into the Cowboys Versus Giants. Let's start first with 49 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: Carlos Watkins. Expectation he's playing this week. Expectation is he's 50 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: playing this week, Let's go, let's go, He'll be back. 51 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: Let's talk about Keanuneil a little bit. We haven't really 52 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: talked about him from the standpoint if we know that 53 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 1: he's back from COVID is one percent because he did 54 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: this was not one of those situations where he tested positive, 55 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: didn't really have any symptoms. He said that. He then 56 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: in the interview he had earlier this week, it seemed 57 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: like the way he was talking he kind of felt 58 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: it like he was going through it a bit. So 59 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: what is your concern or what is your expectation with 60 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: regards to how much you expect him to play this week? Yeah, 61 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: I mean I don't. I'm sure he's got to deal 62 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: with that, right, I mean, that's a long time to 63 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: be out, and if you were actually feeling the effects 64 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: of COVID, I'm sure that's how on your respiratory system. 65 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: But my expectation is that Mike McCarthy called him full go, 66 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: and Keanu himself kind of was like, yeah, I'm ready 67 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: to go. I hated missing two games. I'm ready to play. 68 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: So I don't know, maybe his snap count is lessened 69 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: a little bit because of that or maybe not. We've seen, 70 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: and I know illnesses are different than injuries, but we've 71 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: seen how many times have we worried about a guy's 72 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: availability and then he plays one hundred percent of the snaps? 73 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: You know, so he was playing seventy five percent before 74 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: he got sick. It seems like a high number in 75 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: your first game back. So maybe a little less, But 76 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: my expectation is that he's not not limited. So we'll see, Nick, 77 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: you know, I think that, Yeah, I think Jalen Smith's 78 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: release is kind of a domino effect to it that 79 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: you sometimes we have to read between the lines that 80 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: I think, you know, if they felt like he wasn't 81 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: going to be back to normal because because you know, 82 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: he plays a lot in the nickel there, Keyan O'Neill does. 83 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,239 Speaker 1: So I feel like they wouldn't have made this move 84 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: if they didn't feel like Keyan O'Neill was going to 85 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: come back and be back to his normal self. And 86 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: they have other options as well, but you know, there's 87 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: no way to make yourself thin for no reason. Talk 88 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: about Lyle Collins. We mentioned yesterday that he was kind 89 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: of looking at his legal situation with the league. There 90 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: was a bit of a development coming into today. What 91 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: do you guys know about about him? The expectation in 92 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: the building is that he's not That's not a thing 93 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: this week. At least that's that's their expectation. And Mike 94 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: McCarthy even said today like they don't really have a 95 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: plan for that to happen this week, Like there's so 96 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: little time between the game, there's so much uncertainty with 97 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: the legal situation. I think their attitude is like, if 98 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: that happens, that'll be great and we can put something together, 99 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: but that's not something that we're even really considering right now. Yeah, 100 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: what I did read was that supposedly the judge is 101 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: planning to hear there is a judge who's planning to 102 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 1: hear his argument today, and so we'll see where that goes. 103 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: But even let's just say it happens, and I think 104 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: we talked about this yesterday, even if it happens on 105 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: Friday afternoon, after you've been out since the season opener 106 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: September ninth was literally a month ago. So yeah, that 107 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: would that would surprise me. I don't even at this 108 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: late in the week, I wonder if he'd even be active. 109 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: I tend to doubt it. I think you just say, 110 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: this is wonderful, and we'll get you. We'll start getting 111 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: you ready for New England. Yeah, so it sounds like 112 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: these are really two different things. Go ahead, Nick, Well, 113 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: you know, I was just gonna throw I feel like 114 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: it's kind of becoming an elephant in the room a 115 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: little bit, because if he comes back, whenever he comes back, 116 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: like I know, he's Lyell Collins, but we're just based 117 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: off of the three or four weeks we've seen from 118 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: Lyell when he was preseason and then that first game, 119 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: and then what we've seen at a Terrence Steel. I mean, 120 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: I think Terrence has actually played better, and maybe I 121 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: am grading off a curve maybe I'm just going off 122 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: of of what you know, just what my expectations were, 123 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: But it kind of seems like Terrence Steele. I said 124 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: this on the radio this morning. I think he's been 125 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: your third best lineman across the board, behind the Tyrann 126 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: and Zach And I don't know. I mean, are we 127 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: at that road or we needed to discuss this, or 128 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: is just a plug and play as soon as Lyle 129 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: comes back. I mean, I have a tiger head tattooed 130 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: on my arm, so maybe I'm not. Maybe I'm not 131 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: the guy you maybe not the right person, but no, 132 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: I'm not even I'm not even close, to be honest 133 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: with you, I don't think so. And I don't think 134 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: it's fair to say Lyle struggled in the preseason and 135 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: then but like like Terence Steele looked like butt in 136 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: the preseason, like we were we spend a lot of 137 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: time like does this team have a swing tackle? Like 138 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: who's what are we doing here? Like in Sky and 139 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,239 Speaker 1: Steele both look awful. So I don't think that's fair. 140 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: And I thought Lyle played well against Tampa Bay. I mean, 141 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: what Dak got sacked one time in that game, and 142 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: I think it came from up the middle. If I 143 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: remember correctly, I might know it was a pursuit play. 144 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: Dak was stringing it out and he couldn't get away 145 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: from Barrett. I think, um, I know, I'm not ready 146 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: to say that. I think okay, and I I'm not 147 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: sure either, and I and I don't have a red 148 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: raider and tattoo at all ever, so I never know that. 149 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: I mean, m yeah, every but but I you know, 150 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: and not that I There's been some Arkansas players that 151 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: come through here that I'm just kind of like, you know, 152 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: it doesn't work. But um, I just think he's played 153 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: really well and so maybe not right now when he 154 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: comes back, but you know, I do think we're starting 155 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: to look at the right tackle of the future, or 156 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: at least a piece of this line some way. And 157 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: I know that seems weird to say, because he did 158 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: not look good in the preseason, but he has looked 159 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: really good in these these last three or four games. Yeah, honestly, Nick, 160 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: I think it's a fair conversation to have. I don't 161 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: know that I necessarily am to the point where I'm like, yeah, definitely, 162 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: you need you need to stick with steel. I don't 163 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: think it's that, But I do think it's a fair 164 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: conversation because we did talk about how, you know, during 165 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: the preseason I expected more of Lyle, and that was 166 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: basically based on expectations. You know, you're looking at him. 167 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: He's a veteran, he's been a really good player for 168 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I don't think he was at that level 169 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 1: during the preseason training camp, and so that's where I 170 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: can kind of understand where the conversation is a fair conversation. 171 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: But I also agree with you, Dave, like you gotta 172 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: give it some time, like those guys did look great 173 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: back then either, and Terrence still is playing really well. 174 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: So and by the way, they may be doing some 175 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: things right now to protect steal that they may not 176 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: have to do when Lyle comes back, which may even 177 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: it's weird to say, may even open up this offense 178 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: offense even more so. That's the part where I would 179 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: probably still opt to say Lyle is your guy. But 180 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: I do think it's a fair conversation. And I don't 181 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: I don't mean to crap on Terrence. I think he's 182 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: playing great. I just I'm not ready to I'm not 183 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: ready to have that conversation yet. And I'd just like 184 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: to see Lsu buy a society. I'd like to see 185 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: Lyle have a chance to play like he was out 186 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: all last year. We you know, we we we went 187 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: back and forth about whether they needed to draft a 188 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: tackle and can he stay healthy? What's the deal here? 189 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: And he gets suspended one game into the season. So 190 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: I just, you know, just like to see a chance 191 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: to get to watch the guy play. All right, here's 192 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. We're gonna take a quick early break, 193 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: and once we back from that break, we're going to 194 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 1: jump into our storylines.

After star Let's Get Ready 241 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: for Cowboys Versus Giants That happens this Sunday three twenty five. 242 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: Kick at AT and T Stadium. My first question for 243 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: you guys is how does Dallas adjust its linebacker rotation 244 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:53,599 Speaker 1: without Jalen Smith. I think the answer to that is 245 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: pretty simple, honestly. I mean sounds mean, but it kind 246 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: of felt like they were like looking for excuses to 247 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: shoehorn Jalen into it in the first place. In my opinion, 248 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: so we I mean we talked about Keyan O'Neill. In 249 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: a perfect world, I think Keyan O'Neill and Micah Parsons 250 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: are your nickel linebackers. Like passing situations, Layton vander esh 251 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: has a role in base. Neil and Mica get the 252 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: predominant amount of the snaps. Now, obviously there are factors there. 253 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: Mike is going to see more time at edge at 254 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: least that's what we've seen, that's what we expect, and 255 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: so Layton can help offset that. And then you got 256 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 1: to see how ready Neil is to just jump right 257 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: in right, um, I mean maybe we might. It's possible, Yeah, 258 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: it's And you don't make this move, I don't think 259 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: unless Cox is at least part of it. Like you're 260 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 1: at least kind of intrigued or confident by what you've 261 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: seen from him to this point, I think, and so 262 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: especially in a week where Mica might have to play 263 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: some edge and Keyan O'Neill might not be have his 264 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: win back. Yeah, I mean I think that's something worth considering, 265 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: at least Nick. Yeah. I mean, I don't think people 266 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: in life don't just cut their hand or burn themselves 267 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: for just from the fun of it. I mean, like 268 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: there's a reason why they don't want to. They don't 269 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 1: want to hurt themselves by saying, man, let's get him off. 270 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: Let's let's figure out how to you know, get him 271 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: off the team. Let's figure out how to how to 272 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: deal with it. I mean, like, I think that they 273 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: felt like he was a progress stopper to probably Jabril 274 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: Cox and maybe to some of the like the safeties, 275 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: curse those guys coming back into it and playing some 276 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: nickel or playing Parsons more, or maybe they want to 277 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: do more the pass rush. I just I agree with Dave. 278 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: I think they were trying to figure out ways to 279 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: get him in the lineup because of who he is, 280 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: and he's been a captain, he's been a pro bowler 281 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: and all his status, but they I don't feel like 282 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: they feel like they're going to be hurt by it, 283 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: or you wouldn't do it. The other thing too. I 284 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: think we've talked about this, but just in case we haven't, 285 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: I think jay Ron Curse is part of this as well. 286 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: Maybe not yet because Donovan Wilson's not ready they need 287 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: him to start at safety, But when Donovan Wilson's healthy, 288 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: if you want to find ways to get him back 289 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: onto the field, Curse already does a lot of that anyway. 290 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: Like if you look in the Nickel situations, he's down 291 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: in the box anyway, He's either shot, he's either over 292 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: the tight end or off just a little bit over 293 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: by the tackle. Like he's down in the box when 294 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: they're in those situations anyway. So and then I've mentioned 295 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: before it seems like they like to use him as 296 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: a dime linebacker and it allows and that's a situation 297 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: and that allows you to use Mica as a pass rusher. 298 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: So I think he's part of that as well, and 299 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: that might be how you can get him and Wilson 300 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: onto the field. All right, let's move on to storyline 301 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: number two. We talked earlier this week with Bucky Brooks 302 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: about the size of the defensive front for the New 303 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: York Giants. How does Dallas's offensive line, and I'm specifically 304 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: talking about Tyler Battis, who we've seen had some problems 305 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: with big, strong guys in Terrence Steele, how do they 306 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: handle the size and the power of the Giants defensive 307 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: front Dave. Oh, all right, I was gonna. I'm I'm trying. 308 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: I'm going back to the old delay, you know, the 309 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: COVID mode. That's why I'm doing name. Okay, it's easier 310 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: for everybody. Um, yeah, I think again. Yeah, I appreciate that. 311 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: Um yeah, I mean we talked about Leonard Williams. I 312 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: mean it's it's it's week after week in the NFL, 313 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: like this type of stuff is gonna happen. I like 314 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: I said yesterday, I don't worry about the edge so much. 315 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean maybe that's famous last words, 316 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: but I don't worry that there's just this guy they 317 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: can't handle on the edge. Azizo Gelardi is playing in 318 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: his fifth game, and if you have to help steal out, 319 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: I'm certainly not worried about Tyrn Smith. You'd all could 320 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: start about Williams lining up out there because he can 321 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, I know he definitely can. You're right, Um, 322 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: just leaning on past experience and saying, like, if they 323 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: can handle Bosa and some of these other guys, I'm 324 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: sure they can find a way to make it work. 325 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: Different kind of player though, absolutely, power is the problem. 326 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: The bio. Joey Bosa's everything though, Like I mean, he's yeah, 327 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: he's not an easer, but but Leonard Williams is a 328 00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: bigger guy anyone. He's a big guy. I just if 329 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: they can handle some of these other fronts that we've seen, 330 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: I'm just trusting that they can handle this. That's just 331 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: how I feel. Nick. Yeah, I think when if you 332 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: go back, if they were to play the Buccaneers right now, 333 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 1: especially with Zack Martin because he wasn't in that game, 334 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: I don't think they would have just gone away from 335 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: the inside running and like they did and just went 336 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: for the outside, which kind of made themselves somewhat one dimensional. 337 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: I don't think they would do that now, and so 338 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: I don't think if they're not doing it for them, 339 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: I don't think they would do it for the Giants. 340 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: He had Leonard Williams a problem. He proved that Week 341 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: seventeen last year. But I just and of course tyrant 342 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: lyle Zach, they weren't in that game. I think that 343 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: they'll play it straight up, and I think they'll try 344 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: to run them overpower them, play fast, play the outside, 345 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: and just you know, use all the entire field. And 346 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 1: you know, I know that no guard has ever probably 347 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 1: won an MVP vote or not that Zack Martin should. 348 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,239 Speaker 1: But I don't think if anybody's playing better than he 349 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 1: is right now on the offensive line, he's just been incredible. 350 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: To think he's played three games and if you go 351 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: buy PFF grades, he's been the best in the league 352 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 1: two of the three games he's been out there all right. 353 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: Question number three, Trayvon Diggs is on a record pace 354 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: in interceptions for the club. If the over under were 355 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: set at nine and a half interceptions for the season, 356 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: which way do you go over under? Dave, I hate this. 357 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: We did this on the Start at Night last week, 358 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: and I like, I'm just playing the numbers, like I'm 359 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: not talking trash on Trayvon Diggs, but it's hard to 360 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: get interceptions in the NFL. So but he's got five, 361 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I like, I it's like, you know, 362 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: it's like the gambler's fallacy. Right, You're like, well, it's 363 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: been black four times, it'll surely be read and then 364 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: it's black again, like it's it's it sucks because the numbers, 365 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: the numbers say that he can't keep doing this. But 366 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: every time I bet against him, he's proven me. You're 367 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: actually doubled down last So I mean nine, okay, so 368 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: he's got five, he's got five. You said nine and 369 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 1: a half. I said nine and a half. Over run 370 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: and nine and a a half. So he's gotta get five more. Yea, 371 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: And he's got what eleven more games? No, no, twelve 372 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: more games? Yeah right, yeah, twelve more games. I gotta 373 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: go over. That's oh no, waity, how many games? Thirteen 374 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: more games? I can't do math at all, all right, 375 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: thirteen games to get five? Yeah, I gotta go. I 376 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: gotta go over. I gotta go over. Okay, man, you 377 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: know what when you when you broke it down that way, 378 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,239 Speaker 1: I guess so because I guess I can go with 379 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 1: the over. I mean that that's just saying double digit interceptions. 380 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: That's only happened. I mean, it's only happened with Everson Walls, 381 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: like he had eleven. I mean that's I don't know, 382 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: it's hard to say that. I'm asked I'm gonna go under, 383 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go under. I think I feel like eight 384 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: eight to nine is where it's gonna be because it 385 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: is gonna dry up. He's not gonna get as many 386 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: passes his way. Um. But you know I wrote about 387 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: that yesterday. It's a it's a huge dilema for teams. 388 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: Now you want to just not throw at him. I mean, 389 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: it's more incentive for the Cowboys to put their best 390 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,959 Speaker 1: guy on their best receiver and just say, all right, 391 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: then don't throw at him, because then they'll just take 392 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: away your best player. I am. I'm glad you said 393 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: that though, and I completely agree with everything you just said. 394 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: But something that people have been talking about this week 395 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: that I didn't notice. I mean, I know football, I 396 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: watch film, but I'm not a guru. But like Trayvon 397 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: Diggs is, he's good enough to freelance and create interceptions. 398 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: Like he jumped the route on that first pick over 399 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: the middle of the field. He left his man because 400 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,479 Speaker 1: he was so confident in what was happening that he 401 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 1: was like, I don't have to worry about that game, 402 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: which can totally get you burned, can completely get you burned. 403 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: But it didn't. It was amazing play by him. And 404 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: I'm just saying they can avoid him, and he can 405 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: still make plays like he's confident enough in what he's 406 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: doing that he can leave his assignment and freelance on 407 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: somebody else's and get a pick. And to that point 408 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: on the second interception, he can also give quarterbacks look 409 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: that makes him think, well, here's an opportunity we're taking. 410 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: Like he baited him on that throw. He played off. 411 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: I know he had to be seven, eight, maybe nine 412 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: yards off the line of scrimmage and showed them that, hey, 413 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: here's this guy may be open on a quick dig 414 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: right and immediately, like he knew exactly when the quarterback 415 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,719 Speaker 1: was about to throw, he bit the route and he 416 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: was right there. He baited him. And so I think 417 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: that's the other part about this is that you know 418 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: it's gonna take a really smart quarterback not to go 419 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: for it when they're like, Okay, well here's my opportunity. 420 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 1: I don't throw at it most of the time, but 421 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: here's an easy route, and for you know what, it's 422 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 1: going the other way right thirteen games for I mean 423 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: ten is a lot, but thirteen games to get five 424 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: is I just yeah, I feel weird being the optimistic one, 425 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: but I can't bet against them, all right, So let's 426 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: do this. We'll zero in a little bit more on 427 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: this game. With regards to Trey Von, is there a 428 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: wide receiver that you think is the most dangerous on 429 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: this Giants team? And should Digs give him most of 430 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: the attention throughout the day? Should they have him travel 431 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: most of the data to shut that guy down or 432 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: at least force the other team to stay away from 433 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: their best option. So I think the Giants are interesting 434 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: because Kenny Golladay, he it's weird. I'm not trying to 435 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,959 Speaker 1: compare him to Amari, they're different players, but I just 436 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 1: mean he's not like this crazy burner. He doesn't like, 437 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: he doesn't have insane speed. He just gets open, like 438 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: he finds ways to separates with the way that he 439 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: runs his route. And he's got great hands, He's got 440 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 1: really good hands. And then you know, Kadarius Tony's just 441 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 1: a speed freak really, like he's not even he's not 442 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: a polished receiver, Like his routes at Florida were go 443 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: balls and bubble screens. I mean, he's just he's terrify, 444 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: but I mean it's and he wore number one, so 445 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: it's an easy comparison to make. But he's like Percy Harvin, 446 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: just get the ball in his hands and good stuff 447 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: will happen. So I say that to say I would 448 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: rather Digs be with Gala Day because I just just 449 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: blank just bracket the speed guy, know and and figure 450 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: that out and let the technician cover the technician. I guess, Nick, Yeah, 451 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: you know, I think that when you look at what 452 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 1: happened last week, you know that that interception that Diggs 453 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: had was was kind of a byproduct of him, like 454 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: you said, freelancing, but that wasn't something he was doing 455 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 1: earlier in the game. Daniel Jones, smart guy, obviously, you 456 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: know this is he's not a rookie. I'm not saying 457 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: that he you know, he'll be fooled easily, but I 458 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: think you mix it up on him, and so yeah, 459 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: you you cover him with Galladay at times, you you 460 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 1: you know, you leave him on one side of the field, 461 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: and then like he did in that play, he let 462 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: him rome a little bit. I mean, what's the amazing 463 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: about Treyvon Diggs is his eyes. I think, I mean 464 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,679 Speaker 1: that now his hands are receivers hands, but his eyes 465 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: are just unbelievable. And I think that he's got everything 466 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: going for him right now. He's got confidence, he's got 467 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: the hands, ball skills, he's got the eyes, the quick feet. 468 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: I mean, he's just doing everything you would want him 469 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: to do. And so I think you kind of throw 470 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: them all over the field a little bit, mix it 471 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: up and confuse them to where he's going to line up. 472 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take our final break when we 473 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 1: come back. I got a few more storyline, big storyline 474 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: questions for these two.

Final 519 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: segment of the Break Life from the s WBC Mortgage 520 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: Studios at the Star, We're talking big picture storylines of 521 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 1: the game Cowboys versus Giants this Sunday at at and 522 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: T Stadium. Here's what I think is actually going to 523 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: be the real story one way or the other with 524 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: regards to who wins wins this game. From the standpoint 525 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: of the Giants being successful. Daniel Jones leads the Giants 526 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: right now and rushing with one hundred and eighty eight yards, 527 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: how does Dallas limit him on the ground, Because it's 528 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: my belief that their success comes from his ability to 529 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: have those chunk plays in the running games. So how 530 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: does Dallas limit that? Dave I mean with quarterbacks is 531 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: it's always discipline, right, I mean, I'm thinking about Darnold's 532 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 1: first touchdown on Sunday. You know, they they Chauncey Golston 533 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 1: chose poorly to quote the Indiana Jones movie, I guess. So, 534 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna they're gonna design some things for him. 535 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 1: And so I'm having speed at linebacker helps gap discipline 536 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: all everything. Every time that type of stuff happens, I 537 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: just think about after the game, like when you ask 538 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: a DeMarcus Lawrence, They're just like that's all They're just 539 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: like gap discipline, Like we just we didn't stay on 540 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 1: our gaps. And then last year it happened every week 541 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 1: because people were running all over him. And I'm like, well, yeah, 542 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: if it's as simple as you're trying to make it sound, 543 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: why can't you fix it? So stay disciplined and then 544 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: and then obviously hmming him in, um keeping him in 545 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: the well, to quote Rod Marinelli, and if I had 546 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: to guess, he's probably gonna hurt him a couple of times. 547 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: Like I've said a few times, I don't completely trust 548 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: this defense discipline and assignment wise, they get takeaways, but 549 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 1: the chunk plays are there if you go look for 550 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: him every week. So I think that is going to 551 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 1: be a challenge for them, to be honest with you, 552 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: Nick Well, I mean, it's the reason why people went 553 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: with the wildcat, you know, several years ago, and why 554 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: they still do it sometimes today. The quarterback is typically 555 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: unaccounted for, so it's always gonna happen like that. And 556 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: it happens when you're not. You got everyone else covered, 557 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: and then the quarterback beats you. He leaks out. It 558 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: happens with Dak it happens with Daniel Jones, it happens 559 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: with Jeff Driscoll when you played them, or Trabisky, and 560 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: even when you spy Lamar Jackson last year, he still 561 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: you know, burns him and beats him. So the quarterback, 562 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: an athletic quarterback, is always going to be able to 563 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: do that. Darnold did it last week a few times. 564 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: They kind of shored it up a little bit. So yeah, 565 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: you have to you have to account for that. And 566 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: you know, he is definitely an athletic quarterback. So, um, 567 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,239 Speaker 1: you unless you're gonna spy him, which I don't think 568 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: they will, you have to just make sure he doesn't 569 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: beat you too bad? Can I ask that question because 570 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: I actually I look at Daniels Worth spying. Is Daniel 571 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,959 Speaker 1: Jones the best running quarterback that they faced this year? 572 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: Because they definitely did do that with Jalen Hurts some, Uh, 573 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: they spied him some. So this is this guy in 574 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: the same caliber as as a Jalen Hurts when it 575 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: comes to running the ball to where you should consider 576 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: spying him, at least on specific downs. It's not like 577 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: that's not a bad question. I think Jalen Hurts is 578 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: faster and more dangerous, but like Daniel Jones is right there, 579 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: like he's not productions. He's not sneaky athletic. He's just 580 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: straight up athletic. Um. And I was I was going 581 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: to bring that up because they did. They wound up 582 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: using Jalen in that role. They basically were like, Jalen, 583 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: hang out behind the line and if he runs, just 584 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: tear ass after just go and it kind of worked, honestly. 585 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: That's and that's what we're talking about. When we said 586 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: Jalen was playing better. He just he was able to 587 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: make some of those plays. He kept Hurts from from 588 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: killing you. Yeah, at least Hurts would get two or three, 589 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: but he didn't get ten fifteen Jalen Hurts, I don't remember. 590 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: I think he had one kind of long scramble. But 591 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: for the most part, they did a good job with that. 592 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: And so I bring that up because I wonder if 593 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: they do that. I don't think it'll be all the time. 594 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: I can imagine that on third down passing situations or 595 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: you know, long yardage obvious passing situations, and I wonder 596 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: who it'll be. I wonder, um, you know, do you 597 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: do that with Mica. They didn't do it against Hurts. 598 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: With Micah. Maybe that's a place where we see Jabril Cox, 599 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: he's got speed. They're like, hey, we don't trust you 600 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: to do a lot, but just go chase the quarterback 601 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: if it looks like he's breaking contain um. That's that's 602 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: it's it's interesting to think that. I bet you they'll 603 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: throw something like that out there. Nick. Yeah, can I 604 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: use the words attack again or is that kind of 605 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: you already did, already used it. It's out there. Yeah, 606 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: I haven't seen it on T shirts. I don't. I don't. 607 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna hold my breath on that one. But 608 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: you know, I mean you've got You've got other guys 609 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: you know coming. I mean I think all season long, 610 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: for the most part, I mean gone of the days 611 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: where the guy just stands back there and and you know, 612 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: doesn't run. And even when when those guys are there, 613 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: like the tom Brady's or the Mannings, you never sacked 614 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: them anyways, they get the ball out. So, I mean, 615 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: most of these guys are athletics, so it's it's got 616 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: to be into the game plan. I mean, nothing I 617 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: don't think is on the schedule, like like what happens 618 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: with Arizona at the end of the season. I mean, 619 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: that guy is playing at a different level. Um, yeah, 620 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: you gotta think you can. You can't attack him. He's 621 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: playing outstanding. So I just think this is a part 622 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: of the game every single week, and most of the 623 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: times when a guy, a quarterback breaks free, he's not 624 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: gonna fall down at the five yard line. He's probably 625 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: gonna score. So you can't you can't count on that 626 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: happening all the time. It did happen with Daniel Jones, though, 627 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: Dallas is starting to get we're gonna go out to 628 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: the next question, Dallas is starting Derek does not know 629 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: that play. No, I don't. I'm actually I was thinking 630 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: about something else. Sorry, you don't remember, Daniel j Okay, 631 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: I was not thinking. I say week, I knew. I 632 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: was laughing because I was like, we can't go through 633 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: a week of Giants shows without bringing up Daniel Jones 634 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: tripping over to himself. Yeah all right, so there's buddy, 635 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: he can go eighty though, he can, he absolutely can, 636 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: as long as he doesn't trip over down for right, Yeah, 637 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: which you don't think he's gonna do more than one 638 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: time anyway. Um, right now, this Cowboys team is getting 639 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: probably as much love nationally as I've seen them get 640 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: in a very, very long time, and some people. I've 641 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: seen some fans saying that this could be a trap 642 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: game for Dallas because they've been playing so well because 643 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: of their record, and they're playing a team that only 644 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: has one victory so far this season. What gives you 645 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: reason to believe Dallas is or is not susceptible to 646 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: buying into the hype that they're receiving right now. I 647 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: just I just don't care. That's their job. They're professional 648 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: football players. That's These types of games always aggravate me 649 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: because fans talk to me and they're like, we can't 650 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: afford to take the Giants lightly. I'm like, it's not 651 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: my job to take the I'm saying, what makes you 652 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: think that, based on what you've seen and heard from 653 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: the team, do you think that they are the type 654 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 1: of team that may be more susceptible or less susceptible 655 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: to falling for those kinds of things and in believing 656 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: their own hype. I don't worry about it. Which to 657 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: be and it's funny because it does remind me of 658 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen a little bit. They started off three and 659 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: zero and everybody was all over them, and obviously it 660 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: fell apart. They just did not play consistently well. So 661 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: it's weird for me to say. And a lot of 662 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: those guys were there right, like a lot of the 663 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: team was the same. But it just doesn't bother me. 664 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: I don't. I just I trust implicitly Dak Prescott first 665 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 1: of all, to just not let that happen. I think 666 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: our friend Clarence Hill last week was like the old 667 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 1: Parcels thing of not eating the cheese, and Dak was like, 668 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: the cheese ain't that good? We're two and one, Like 669 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: what are you? What are you talking about? Why is 670 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: this even a thing? And I buy that. I completely 671 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: buy that they haven't accomplished that much, and I think 672 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: they know it, and I just it is not a 673 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: thing that bothers me. I'll be I'll be shocked if 674 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: they I'm not saying that they can't lose, but I'll 675 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: be shocked if they just play this like ugly terrible game. 676 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:47,320 Speaker 1: That would surprise me. Nick. I think the trap games 677 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: are really for the fans. I think the fans are 678 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 1: the ones that are creating traps, maybe fans in media. 679 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: I don't think the players really view it that way. 680 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: I think the fans are like, well, I hope, you know, 681 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 1: I hope that they don't overlook him it. But I 682 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 1: think it stems from the fact that they're overlooking them. 683 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: They're thinking that this should be a blowout, and if 684 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: the Cowboys don't do it, then then that means they 685 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: overlooked them, or you know, that they fell into the 686 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,720 Speaker 1: trap when you're you're failing to remember that division games 687 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 1: like this are always tough. That offensive coordinator over there 688 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 1: is gonna bring everything he's got in this game, and 689 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 1: you can say what you want, Oh good, bring it. 690 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: He's a good offensive coordinator. He has been for a 691 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: long time. Let's just say it like that way, and 692 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: he'll he'll and and he'll you know, he'll he'll bring 693 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: it and so and he did last year where they 694 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: didn't have sae Quon Barkley and Daniel Jones wasn't as 695 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: good as he's playing right now. So I think I 696 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 1: think it's you know, now, am I gonna pick it overtime? 697 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,320 Speaker 1: Went No, I'm not, But I just I think the 698 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys are that much better. But I think that, you know, 699 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,799 Speaker 1: the media and fans do that all the time, where 700 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,439 Speaker 1: they think this should be a blowout and if it's 701 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 1: not it's the Cowboys fault when it was their fault 702 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 1: for for making it you know that big in the 703 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: first place. I guess that Nick just made the point 704 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 1: that I was trying to make, which is like, really, 705 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,399 Speaker 1: in my eight plus years doing this, and I'm sure 706 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,399 Speaker 1: it's happened, I'm sure it has, but like, I've never 707 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 1: been in a week where I was like, man, it 708 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: doesn't seem like these guys give a damn about this game, 709 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 1: Like it doesn't. You just you it's it's such a routine. 710 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 1: It's such a like, you know, you clean up the 711 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: last game Monday, you take the day off Tuesday, you 712 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,240 Speaker 1: game plan Wednesday, Like it's such a day by day routine, 713 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: and we'd live the same thing, by the way, where 714 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: you almost don't even really have time to think about 715 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 1: the narratives so much. And I just think I think 716 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:43,399 Speaker 1: fans and media say that stuff because they're nervous, really 717 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 1: more so than anything the team's doing. All right, let's 718 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: get into it. Let's pick this game. What do you 719 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: guys think it's gonna happen this week? Give me a score. 720 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: Let's start with you, Nick, I think the Cowboys are 721 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,360 Speaker 1: that much better. I do think it'll be kind of 722 00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,799 Speaker 1: a closer game, but not like it was last year. 723 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 1: I think the offense is rolling to the point where 724 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna put up some points, put some 725 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 1: pressure on him. I'd like to see that crowd is 726 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 1: gonna be I think it'll be a good crowd again. 727 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: Never see a ton of Giants fans on the road. 728 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: I mean they'll be there, but not usually a ton. 729 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: And so I'm going Dallas thirty to fourteen. All right? Nice? Wow, God, 730 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: we're in sync with our picks these these days, and 731 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: I don't know how to feel about it. Yeah, I 732 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 1: actually I look this up this morning. The average score 733 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: of Das wins against the Giants when he's played the 734 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: whole game, so not counting last year. So he I mean, 735 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 1: he's won six straight since he got swept as a rookie. 736 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 1: He has not lost in New York since he was 737 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 1: a rookie. They've been winning those games by an average 738 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:55,440 Speaker 1: score of thirty to sixteen, so they're averaging multi possession wins. 739 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 1: And that's even with the season ender, you know, the 740 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 1: dramatic thirty six thirty five game, So that one, that 741 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,360 Speaker 1: margin offsets a lot of that. What I'm trying to 742 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 1: say is the Cowboys have been blowing these guys out 743 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 1: for most of Dak's career. Um, I just I think 744 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 1: they're better. I think they have I think they're better 745 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 1: everywhere basically. Um, I think they're at home. I think 746 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 1: that the narrative with Dak's ankle playing them is overblown. 747 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: It's it's not a revenge game, like who's he getting 748 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,839 Speaker 1: revenge against? It's nobody's fault that he got hurt. Um, 749 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,439 Speaker 1: But I do think that he wants to play well 750 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 1: and kind of when when this game is over, hopefully 751 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 1: we don't have to talk about the ankle, not ever again, 752 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: but like we don't have to do this weekly, like 753 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 1: it's just a new obstacle. Like, no, it's over. Um, 754 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna play great, and I think they're 755 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:50,760 Speaker 1: gonna win thirty four two seventeen, all right, I actually 756 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 1: think I actually think it's gonna be a closer game 757 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: than you guys think. Um. I think this h this 758 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: Giants team what I saw last week from them, and 759 00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 1: that that's not to say that New Orleans is a great. 760 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 1: One thing I do know about New Orleans. Their defense 761 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 1: still is I think a good defense and they they 762 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,719 Speaker 1: got they got taken to the woodshed last week. I 763 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 1: mean the way four hundred yards they put a fourhndred 764 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 1: yards against him. So I made that face because the 765 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: game went to overtime. I don't think you get taken 766 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 1: of the wood shed if you go to overtime. Well, 767 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,800 Speaker 1: four hundred yards is four hundred yards and that's not 768 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 1: what I expect to see from a New Orleans Saints defense. 769 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: That's my point. And so I do think this offense 770 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,479 Speaker 1: has some some some some stuff. And I was looking 771 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 1: at se Quon Barkley like he still had a great 772 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: game on the ground last week. He had a big, 773 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 1: big game, but it was a pass that he that 774 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,439 Speaker 1: he caught. Um, So I'm I'm looking at this team 775 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking that this is gonna They're gonna score 776 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,879 Speaker 1: some points. I think Dallas will obviously score some points. 777 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: I think Dallas's offense will keep doing what they're doing. 778 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 1: But I do think it'll be closer than than than 779 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: weeks than what you guys think it'll be. I think 780 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: the final scores thirty one twenty six, Cowboys get to 781 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,440 Speaker 1: win and uh and we move on to the New 782 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: England Patriots. So we we'll see, We'll be out there 783 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Cowboys take on the Giants at and T 784 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 1: Stadium through twenty five kick. Make sure you check it 785 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 1: out till then.
