Speaker 1: and we've got plenty to talk about even after a

13
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: couple of days off. Heck Ma Harrison, Isaiah stand back,

14
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: Rob Phillips, I'm Kyle Yeoman's. Gentlemen, how are we doing well? Yeah?

Speaker 1: Everybody rested up, ready to go? Yeah, you're ready to roll.

16
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: Eleven week stretch. Maybe let's go. Let's do it. That's

17
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: the thing, as I was about to say, for the

18
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: final stretch, it's not a final stretch. It's a long

19
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: way away till the end of the regular season. Yeah,

20
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: Levn guaranteed, right, Yep, Levin guarantee. McCarthy actually says he

21
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: loves it though, because if you go all the way

22
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: back to training camp, it's halfway between started started training

23
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: camp and the end of the season if the season

24
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: goes as long as they hope it does. So it

25
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: ended up working out perfectly. You could look at it

26
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: that way. Didn't he say that? He thought that the

27
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: bye week, the way it was situated, and then in

28
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: the way that Thanksgiving lies was kind of like a

29
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: second bye week, like a half by. Ultimately, what is that? Like? Why? Like,

30
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: how does it work out that way? Because I always

31
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: feel like the Cowboys get the route end of the stick.

32
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: We got back to back Thursday night games, right, yeah,

33
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: Thursday games, right, So then you factor in you got Friday, Saturday,

34
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: Sunday off, So you end up having a ten day window,

35
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: which is is not really a bye week. But really,

36
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: bye weeks are really just a couple of days off

37
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: for most guys. In case people didn't know, it's not

38
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: an entire week that guys just stay out of the building.

39
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: Coach usually gives you, like the weekend off. So usually

40
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: get like the Friday, Saturday, Sunday off or maybe a

41
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: Thursday if you have a really good coach, really nice coach,

42
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: but you get three to three to three to four

43
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: days off, really three most likely. So it's that's that's

44
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: what the bye week consists of. So guys really get

45
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: the weekends to go just hang with their families, chill,

46
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: but they're not totally detached from football. I missed you, guys,

47
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: I saw you. Well, yeah, we we We dealt with

48
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: some stuff for a couple of days. Yeah. I get

49
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: the way, Isaiah. The CBA has changed that they will

50
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: automatically get four days off. Now, well there you go.

51
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: There my game the whole week off too. He did.

52
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: Yeah really yeah. They didn't do anything on the field. Yeah,

53
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: but they face for everybody. They do have practice, full

54
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: padded practice today. Yeah, welcome back. So what were you

55
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: saying about dealing with some stuff. I'm dealing with anything.

56
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: I was a pete. Pete took on everything, all right.

57
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: I was a colt the whole way. And I didn't even.

58
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: What I didn't do was I didn't piss Mickey off.

59
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: You saw that I think he did. I did not

60
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: you talk about the last little part where I was saying, book,

61
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: book your tickets. I think when you intimated that he

62
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: had a typewriter at home, I don't think you like that.

63
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: I think I could see the steam kind of curling

64
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: a little bit out the years. He doesn't show. Mickey

65
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: doesn't look like he will let something go either. No,

66
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: he's that was just a shout out to the old school.

67
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: That's all that was. Hateful is strong. But uh yeah,

68
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: the hold of grudge on you. Yeah, yeah, that so good.

69
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: It was good. I love Mickey. It was just you know,

70
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: it's a different dynamic on that show. Oh yeah, you know,

71
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 1: I've lived it. Every shi man's true. Hey, Bill John

72
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: that show. Phil Jones gave you an awesome compliment. He

73
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: sure did open the show up with it. He did

74
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: awesome compliments. Said you better watch out for Isaiah stand back.

75
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: He's you know, I can't speak like he's awesome, but

76
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, he's an extra line. We won't have

77
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: him here pretty long. Here's a rising star, rising star

78
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: just working. You know. ESPN buddies right here, here we

Speaker 1: They went. They did not. Oh yeah, North Texas lost.

81
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: Now we're biased, we're bias biased. We're the network at

82
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: that right, Okay, superprivacy, guys on there, Yeah, superprivacy you

Speaker 1: guys on there. That's freaking awesome. That was a ton

84
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: of fun. And heckma I told him this, and I'll

85
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: say this on the air too. He had the best

86
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,119
Speaker 1: game he's ever had. And he's had really good games

87
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: all the way through. He had the best game he's

88
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: ever had the Sea League. He is awesome. All right,

89
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: let's get down to business. The bye week is in

90
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: the rearview mirror. All of us had a little bit

91
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: of extra time off, but the Cowboys had all of

92
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: the time off this week. Like you guys just said,

93
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: the Cowboys did not hit the field at all. Rob

94
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: Any news and notes coming out of the bye week.

95
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: Any updates on one injury of a guy who wears

96
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: number four and certainly plays the quarterback position. Ah, well,

97
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: we will see. I think with his strained calf, is

98
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: what you're saying, Dak Prescott. I get the impression they're

99
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: pretty confident he's gonna play in this game. That being said,

100
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. Don't say I reported that I

101
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: think everything's got to go right this week. I think

102
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: he's got it. I don't know if he's gonna do

103
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: anything on the field today. The plan was for him

104
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: to get rechecked again today, and I think that's more

105
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: of all right, good looking, good healing Wednesday, let's see

106
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: if we can get you into practice. And so, I mean,

107
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: you've played the position. I don't know if you've had

108
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: a strained calf. But there's other things that have to

109
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: go right. I mean you could say, yeah, we feel

110
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: like he's gonna play, he's got to do some You

111
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: would think he's got to do something in practice and

112
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: not have a setback, not be really sore the next day,

113
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. But I think I think

114
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: they think it's trending towards he'll be available Sunday. That's awesome.

115
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: What is that like from Like you said, you shook

116
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: your head when you when asked if you've dealt with

117
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: the strain cap but I'm certain you've been around people

118
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: who have dealt with those. What is that timetable normally like,

119
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: because we know Dak is normally ahead of the schedule

120
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: and a cur a couple different. Yeah, I mean, I

121
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: think there's there's when it comes to muscle stranger's different grades, right,

122
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: So I don't think that they've released, at least I

123
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: haven't heard that they've released what grade of strain he has. UM.

124
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: So it could be anywhere from you know you need

125
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: seven days off too, it could be you need months off,

126
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: depending on how severe it is. So Um, from what

127
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: I'm hearing from Rob pe and and and the other

128
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: murmurs around is it doesn't seem like it's that bad

129
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: of a strain. Uh he did. He did just have

130
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: a week off, which is awesome. Um. I doubt that

131
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: he had the quote unquote week off. I'm pretty sure

132
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: he was in here every day probably bands yeah with

133
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: it with the training staff. So um. If it was me,

134
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: I'm pinning obviously, not knowing how how severe it is,

135
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: I would give him to Wednesday. The reason why is

136
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: you got Monday. I don't know if they plan on

137
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: practice in tomorrow too. We're just just scheduled so crazy anyways,

138
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: So I would give him to Wednesday to have a

139
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: couple of extra days of treatment, um and to get

140
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: him back into it. Um. Because also you can get

141
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: your backup ready just in case, right, you could use

142
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: today as an opportunity to get your backup some reps

143
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: just in case he's unable to go. He's a familiarized

144
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,239
Speaker 1: with the players, the guys have some confidence in the backup.

145
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: All that jazz um. That's Cooper, right, Cooper, Yeah, Coop,

146
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. I think I would use today to get

147
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: him some reps because that doesn't necessarily need the reps today.

148
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: Not saying that we couldn't, you couldn't use them, but

149
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: let's get used today to get Cooper Rush ready just

150
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: in case, keeping in a chamber um, and then let's

151
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: reevaluated today obviously, and if he's ready to roll kicking

152
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: back up on Wednesday. Have you had an injury like that?

153
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,119
Speaker 1: I have not had a calf strain. I've had pretty

154
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: much everything else, so but calf strain I have not.

155
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: I've had achilles, I've had foot, I've had knee, I've

156
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: had shoulders, but never a calf. And do you think

157
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: all of these things, like the calf industry, all of that,

158
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: it's just a culmination of the ankle injury and trying

159
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: to you never know, right, you never know. I mean

160
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: you're speaking in terms of compensation, right, is he compensating.

161
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: Is his body naturally compensating for his ankle um. You don't,

162
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: You don't know, You really don't know. I honestly think

163
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: it might have just been just a freak thing and

164
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: nobody will ever know the answer to that. Just just

165
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: turning and there's i mean, the angle on what she's

166
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: throwing on. He's coming out, he's torking on that thing.

167
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of ligaments, a lot of

168
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: muscles in there. So it happened. But again, he's you know,

169
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: he's blessed to have the amazing training staff here and doctors.

170
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: These guys are the best. Yeah, they went straight to

171
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: the MRI machine. That's everybody is blue Star imaging. Is

172
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: it's busy, then get clear out of the waiting room. Yeah,

173
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: they gonna get that. Somebody got pulled off the table

174
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: from the absolutely machine. No. But but you know, we

175
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: talked a lot about the second and third quarterback heading

176
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: into the season because of getting rid of getting rid

177
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: of of some guys and keep Cooper Rush winning that

178
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: backup position. We don't want to talk about the backup

179
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: position this early in the season. Hoping and praying that

180
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: Dak is going to be healthy enough to play for

181
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: the Vikings game. Everything is leading that way. I hadn't

182
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: heard anything to the to the contrary, and so if

183
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: it was, Pete would obviously give us the bad news

184
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: for you. Maybe he'll give it to us. But this

185
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: is game. This is definitely a game going into the way.

186
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna need Dak to be healthy because there's gonna

187
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: be so much dependent on him and his legs because

188
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: this this Vikings defense. As we'll get to later in

189
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: the week. Boy, they for real. Yeah, you won this

190
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: game last year without Dak Prescott, but everything went right

191
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: for you, and everything went right for Andy Dalton and

192
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb and a couple different guys in order to

193
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: win this game. This is not the same Minnesota team.

194
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: They're starting to fire on all cylinders. They're pretty good.

195
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: One what is it, three straight two out of the

196
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: last three. I haven't really looked that far ahead yet,

197
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: but three and three right, yeah? Yeah? They had their

198
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: buy two yeah, and their rest rested up as well. Okay,

199
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: so you don't want to have that conversation, but I

200
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: think we need to have that conversation of are we

201
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: comfortable at the backup quarterback spot. I don't know if

202
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: I'm to the bubble guts scenario yet that we've talked

203
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: about previously on this show, because the Cowboys are five

204
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: and one, But I'm getting there if we're looking at

205
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: an extended period of time, especially with some of the

206
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: teams coming up on the schedule, the Minnesota Vikings being

207
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: one of those that you could certainly lose to. Are

208
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: you guys comfortable at backup quarterback a moment, I'm not.

209
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm not Cooper rush No. And you know,

210
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: maybe it's all just conjecture at this point because we

211
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: don't know the severity of the injury, but you know,

212
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: I just I think it's the role that you're you're

213
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: having right now with the five victories, the confidence that

214
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: you have within the building. You don't want to compromise

215
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: any of that. And you talk about last season, there

216
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: was like the stars had to align, We had to

217
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: have so many things go right to pull that victory out.

218
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: And that was a solid game by Andy Dalton in

219
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: the clutch catch by Ceedee Lamb in the end zone also,

220
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: but yeah, that was nuts. What At the same time,

221
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: we just have a different team, different mentality at going

222
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: right now, and you don't want to see this end

223
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: due to an injury. But I don't feel comfortable. I

224
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: don't know. Does any team feel comfortable with their backup

225
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: quarterback situations? Yeah, San Francisco, San Francisco does. But like,

226
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: there're four teams with a better record than the Cowboys

227
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: in the NFC right now. That's awesome and it's wild.

228
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: That shows you how good this conference is. But I

229
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: can't name all the backups for those teams. So, and

230
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: those teams are right in the hunt, just like this team.

231
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: So I don't think any teams just like, oh yeah,

232
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: we're good. Dandy Dalton thing was a gift from God

233
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: last year. I mean, guy, a guy that's yes, exactly,

234
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: divine intervention. He's from Texas. You know that that that's

235
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: not there. I think Cooper rush they have confidence that

236
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: he can run the same offense. Is it idea? Would

237
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: that be ideal? Absolutely not, of course not. I think

238
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: they're hoping that's not going to be the case. Now

239
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: if if Dak doesn't play in this game, I don't

240
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: think anybody should freak out. I think they're looking. They

241
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: would be taking a long term picture of like, look,

242
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: let's not rush him back. This week and potentially re

243
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 1: injure something. Oh that could be a headline, didn't you.

244
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: Let's not rush him back? That might be as Nick upstairs. Um,

245
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: but who feels great about your back? Honestly, if you're contending,

246
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: is is anybody comfortable there? Yeah? Some teams feel better

247
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: better than others. Um, you guys know how I didn't.

248
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: It was no secret how I felt about the backup

249
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: quarterback position here coming into the season. No disrespect to Russia,

250
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: no disrespect to any of the backups in the league.

251
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: Guys bust their tail to be in a position. I

252
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: just feel that from what we saw in the preseason,

253
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: there was nothing that gave me any indication of confidence

254
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: coming into the season with him as a backup. I

255
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: know he's probably working his tail off, but I just

256
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: didn't see it in the preseason. I saw a lack

257
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: of confidence. I saw a lack of confidence in the players.

258
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: I saw the deflation of motivation by the players when

259
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: when he was in a game, he just wasn't there.

260
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: So I do not feel comfortable, comfortable or confident with

261
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: that with that situation, So uh, let's rush back nobody? No,

262
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it is what it is, man, it's just

263
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: to your point that I agree, no team wants to

264
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: see their backup come into game, but some teams feel

265
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: more confident with their backups. From the Dallas Cowboys. Do

266
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: any thoughts to resting Dak though, I mean, like you said, Rob,

267
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: if it is indeed he is inactive come Sunday, then

268
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: sure it's not a freak out moment because it's still

269
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: not supposed to be a long term injury. But if

270
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: you're playing the long game and you're looking at this as, wow,

271
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: this is a seventeen game season, let's try and man,

272
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: let's try and make sure he's ready to go for

273
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: the final couple weeks. Is there any thought to maybe

274
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: holding him back a little bit this week? I think

275
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: only if you feel like he's not going to be

276
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: able to function, or if there's you feel like he

277
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: could reinjure this thing worse, because those soft tissue injuries,

278
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: as Isaiah knows, the second time, could be a lot worse.

279
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean I think from that perspective, but

280
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: I don't think they look at it like let's just

281
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: sit him out. I mean, he may be ready, perfectly ready,

282
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: but we're just gonna sit him out, anyway, I don't

283
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: think so. You mentioned seventeen games. There's only one buy

284
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: in the NFC this year, and I don't care what

285
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: people say. You want to advance through the playoffs without

286
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: having to play a game. I know people talk about

287
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: rest can be rusted and all that. I think they

288
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: would take that bye. They're currently fourth best record in

289
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: the NFC because they played one less game, but there's

290
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: a lot of competition for that spot, so try to

291
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: get every game you can. Now. The rest factor has

292
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: never even entered into my mind. I think you got

293
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: to have all your dogs ready to go. This is

294
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: the push that we want to make. I mean, you

295
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: no sense and even talking about rest at this point

296
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: unless you obviously he's compromised, and if he's compromised, and

297
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: obviously he's not going to put himself out there, but

298
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: we're not in a position to even consider that. I

299
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: would be thinking about it this man. We got to

300
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: stand up on the motor right now. We got it's

301
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: full steam ahead. And if every like I said, all

302
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: everything that we have to play for is in front

303
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: of us, and we have the team, we have the

304
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: coaching staff. We've been talking about this all week. What

305
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: is this the culture going to be like you and

306
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: you always said this, at this one. Every body's nicked up,

307
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: everybody's heard, everybody's dealing with something. It's just our turn.

308
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: We just have to go forward with it. And this

309
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: is such a benchmark game. I mean at Minnesota, a

310
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: team that matches up pretty well with you, I mean

311
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: toe for toe, they got some guys. Then you come

312
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: back home for a couple Denver, Atlanta, then you're at

313
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: Kansas City, which, guys, I don't know if you guys

314
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: watch that game yesterday, Kansas City's what's going on? What's

315
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: going on with Kansas City? What's going on with Patrick Mahome?

316
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: Sixteen picks in his last sixteen games. That's not very good,

317
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: is it? Well, it's crazy thing. Yeah, you know, they're

318
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: a light switch away though. Yeah, that's the craziest thing

319
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: about those guys. As bad as they're playing, everybody's like waiting,

320
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: just like when they all right here, they got everybody

321
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: to turn the corner. You just hope that's not week

322
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: eleven exactly. Let's not let that happen that week. So no, no,

323
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: we are not resting Dak Prescott. If he's good to go,

324
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: you're going no extra rest. We're rolling Barney Rubble. What

325
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: does that reference? That one? You don't know the stone flints?

326
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's pretty good. That is good. That needs

327
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: to be a sound of fact. All right, when we

328
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,920

Speaker 1: I'm Kyle Yeoman's and gentlemen, we have we had a

378
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: little extra time to kind of moll over this five

379
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: and one start for the Cowboys. Cowboys five and one

380
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: for the first time since twenty sixteen. They're doing a

381
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: lot of good things at the moment, But who are

382
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: winners and losers of the first six weeks of the season.

383
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: I want each of you to get me one of both.

384
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: It can be the same person if you want it

385
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: to be, doesn't really matter. And I'll start off with

386
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: heck my Harrison on this one, winner and loser through

387
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: the first six weeks of the season for the Cowboys.

388
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: So I went back and watched all six games. That

389
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me, it doesn't surprise you. Okay, so did

390
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: that man number ninety four, Randy Gregory. Man, he is

391
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: a big part of the success that we're having on defense.

392
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: I know Michael Parsons has gotten a lot of the

393
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: highlight real moments, but ninety four is his bull rushby

394
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: and the way that he's changing up certain things. And

395
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: I heard him in an interview just saying that hack

396
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: got to be better, uh, and certain downs of not

397
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: just giving myself away with continuously continuously using the same rush.

398
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: I just think he's making He's so impactful for us,

399
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: and if he continues this, I know this is a

400
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: contract year, but ninety four is gonna be around for

401
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: a very long time because he is absolutely putting the

402
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: tape out there. And I'm happy for Randy Gregory do

403
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: what I do my right now, I'm gonna I'm gonna

404
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: go for the losing and I know this is someone

405
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: that my guy over here, Isaiah is loves this guy.

406
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 1: But send me for Hoko right now is losing the

407
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: battle at the wide receiver position. And that's just Cedric

408
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: Wilson UH and Noah Brown are playing out of their

409
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: minds right now. And I'm not even basing this on

410
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: on what they're doing on offensively. I just think what

411
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: special teams wise, both of these guys are major contributors,

412
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: and so I don't know how for Hooko is able

413
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: to get on the field Uh with when Mike g

414
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: comes back. Yeah, that's tough because even with MALIEK. Turner

415
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: and what he's doing special teams wise. That's that's my

416
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 1: only point. Now, that's your six. That's your six that

417
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: you could roll with the rest of the year and

418
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: feel just fine about. What about you, Isaiah? For my winner,

419
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm going with mister Schultzeneger. That's a great one. The

420
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: Schultzenegger is the pinnacle of consistency. Boy, that boy is consistent.

421
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: If you look at him, if you look at his

422
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: I mean he's been what six five six catches a game, right,

423
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: sixty seventy a game. Very assistant, very Whitney. When he

424
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: took that starting job, he took it. He didn't borrow it.

425
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: He took it all right. Week one six catches, Week

426
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: two two catches. But we'll forgive him for that Week three, six,

427
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: Week four, six, Week five six, Week six, the boys

428
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: killing it well, that's about a five cats average around there,

429
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: So he's doing a heck of a job. Um for

430
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: the loser, I'm gonna go with Maurice Kennedy. Kennedy, Mo

431
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: Kennedy for what we saw in camp to what we're

432
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: now seeing in the in the games, I like, I

433
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: like to send me pick, but my expectations were were

434
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: exactly where he's at right now. No disrespect based off

435
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: of what you Yeah, based on what I saw Ricky Minicamp,

436
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: I had already check the box. Uh. But but more Kennedy,

437
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: I think we had high expectations. We've been from out

438
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: of camp and he had an amazing camp and we

439
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: have not seen that carry over to the field. Now.

440
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say that his performance has been bad.

441
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that he's not getting the playing time.

442
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: So something is occurring that's not giving them the confidence

443
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 1: to put him on the field. Whether that's somebody else's

444
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: play is elevated and not and they don't they don't

445
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: feel like he's competing to that level, or he's not

446
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: he's not taking care of business in practice. But you've

447
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: been on rosters where you've seen guys have outstanding preseasons

448
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: and then when it comes to the regular season that

449
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: I use, I mean, what could possibly be happening. There

450
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: was a lot of different factors. There's a lot of

451
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: different factors. Like I said, maybe a Browns is playing

452
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: that good, right, maybe he's just playing that well. Um,

453
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, we see Jordan Lewis in there. You know,

454
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: we Lewis getting paid a lot, He's not having to

455
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: play a lot. That's a good combo. But you know,

456
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: but I thought I was expecting to see a lot

457
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: more more Kennedy because of his side, his size, and

458
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: his versatility. So in his camp too, I mean camp,

459
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: a strong camp. Yeah, Jordan Lewis has played over two

460
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five snaps. Maurice Kennedy has played a

461
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: total of forty two, So it you wouldn't think that

462
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: it would be that lopsided. Even think at least I'm

463
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: coming out of camp. Heck, No, I don't even I

464
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't even say even just because of the contract for

465
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis. Yea, but forty two compared to two seventy five,

466
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty skewed. Yeah, that's gonna be something, right, Yeah, something,

467
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. That's good. Good duo there.

468
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: What about you? Rob Winners and Loser winner? Kellen Moore?

469
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore is in his bag. We've established that this

470
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: keeps up. He's gonna have gonna have a lot of

471
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: voicemails on his phone in January. February wanted to talk

472
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: to him for head coaching number. Yeah, list it, you know,

473
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: give him a burner phone, something like it. Um, Jerry

474
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: Joey's gonna flip a switch in his office. Is gonna

475
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: emp to sell lines here? Jerry probably just buy all

476
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: the phone companies. I watched The Departed for the first

477
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: time last week. That's where I got on the good movie. Um, losing,

478
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: is anybody a loser? Right now? With the way this

479
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: team is playing? Here's the question I have Donovan Wilson

480
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: what he's back from injury? This safety rotation is, I

481
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: am you're how how many snaps are available with that

482
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: safety position hybrid. You know, Curse is not coming off

483
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: the field, whether you want to call him a safety, linebacker, hybrid, whatever, kazy.

484
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: You know last week's issued off the field, notwithstanding is

485
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: a starter. Malie Cooker's coming on. Somebody's gonna have to

486
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: sacrifice snaps now that Donna's and as Dan Quinn said,

487
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: it's a good problem to have. It's it's a product

488
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: of success and depth. But I don't know how they

489
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: distribute all that. And you know, Donno is a guy

490
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: that's used to play in a lot, and I don't

491
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: know if he's gonna get as many snaps now as

492
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: necessarily he did last year. And I'm wondering if the

493
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: that's gonna be divvied up more as he gets back

494
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: and fully healthy. I wonder if he came back a

495
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: little early because he saw what was happening on the

496
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: safety at the safety position, because he went from fifty

497
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,479
Speaker 1: five snaps against Tampa Bay to sitting out those games

498
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: and then hitting fourteen snaps on the field against New England.

499
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: So maybe that was him saying, hey, I gotta get back.

500
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: You gotta get back, even though he maybe wasn't one

501
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: hundred percent ready. Is that something that could possibility be

502
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: a possibility there? I don't know, Man, Curse, I think

503
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, I think Curse is over ninety percent. Yeah,

504
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: he's playing almost every snap. But we have not had

505
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: we have not been together since that whole little Dui

506
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: thing occurred with Casey. Do you think that he plays

507
00:25:55,080 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: his game? I do this game, Yes, I do. I'm

508
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: not talking about from the outside, I'm talking about internally.

509
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: Do you think that they look at possibly not playing

510
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: him or some form of punishment. That's that's my question.

511
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's to your point, it's a new staff

512
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: since since they've had an issue like this off the

513
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: field that I can remember anyway, in the last two years,

514
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: So I don't know what their policy. I would think

515
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: he would unless there's NFL punishment involved, but I don't

516
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: know that for sure. Nobody's really addressed it. Jerry was

517
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 1: asked about on the Fan Friday and just said we're

518
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: not aware of all the details, and that they hadn't

519
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: heard from the and the fact that they hadn't heard

520
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: from the NFL either, So those are I think for

521
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: all NFL teams, and it's unfortunate guys don't take advantage

522
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: of the car service that's available to him. But you know,

523
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: that's a whole separate issue altogether. But I don't think

524
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: that they can. I don't know what the CBA, it's

525
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: a part of that. If obviously there's going to be

526
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 1: some kind of punishment that does come down, we don't

527
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 1: know if he's in some program or whatever right now,

528
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: so it's just gotta you gotta wait until that actually

529
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: comes up. I don't think that our coach and staff

530
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: would go, hey, we're gonna set you out now, knowing

531
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: that how bad you need Kazy in this game. I

532
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: know as a as a head coach, that is a

533
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: as a sucky position to be in, because optics wise,

534
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: if you don't hand down any form of punishment internally,

535
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: what does that look like? But it's but in the

536
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: punishment always come from the NFL and not the organization.

537
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't always have to doesn't have to. The Cowboys

538
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: haven't done that in the past. Yeah, they haven't handed

539
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: out their own punishment. I'm just saying if I was

540
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: playing a head coach position, that's a tough position to

541
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: be in. Because no, I'm asking you asking you, do

542
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: you know of organizations that say we're gonna get ahead

543
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: of this and go ahead and suspend you for two games.

544
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: Guys give guys get fine and stuff. Oh yeah, I mean,

545
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: I don't know about suspension. I don't think I've been

546
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: a part of a suspension per se. But guys have

547
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: gotten their playing time doctor because of that. I asked

548
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: Barry Church that question on Wednesday, and he said the

549
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: exact same thing. He's like, I don't know if I

550
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: remember a guy getting suspended by the team for doing

551
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: something like that. However, fines were certainly handed out. They

552
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: were maybe you or maybe he doesn't play that. I mean,

553
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: I've seen guys not played till half time. You know,

554
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: the first half, you don't you don't get to play.

555
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: You know, stuff like that. You know that is that enough?

556
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: I don't know there is who who doesn't decide what's enough.

557
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: But I'm just thinking optics wise, like it. It's not

558
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: a good look. It's not a good look. Now, it's

559
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: not a good look. But if that does happen and

560
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 1: he's suspended, I have full faith in Mali Cooker. He's

561
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: shown us enough. But back to what you were saying

562
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: about Wilson, I think it's the Curses effect. Ye, curses

563
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: has come in and he is playing so dad going good.

564
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to put it le but it's a

565
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: good curse, but it is a good and right now

566
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: Wilson just has an immovable object in front of him.

567
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy is making an impact. And even

568
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: when you do the sounds of the game, which is

569
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: so cool. I don't know who is responsible for the

570
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: sounds of the game. Alex, Alex is doing a hell

571
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: of a job. Subtitles are the best. Yeah that I

572
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: need him sometime, you know, because some of these guys

573
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: are from different places. You're not understanding everything he's saying.

574
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: I mean the cuss words like he you know, oh yeah,

575
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: all the livelong day, let's do that's all. It's the best, right,

576
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: but all of that's good. And you just see for him,

577
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: Curse the guy that wasn't even on this roster last

578
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: year taking the reins and being a leader and kind

579
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: of telling guys that're like, come on, man, lock in,

580
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: we all in. I love to see that because I

581
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: go back to the Baltimore game last year when we

582
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: pan to the sideline that everybody was dejected and we

583
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: didn't have a leader like that, So maybe that's a

584
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: big part of it as well. When we talk about

585
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: guys like Mole Kennedy that is not able to get

586
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: on the field, leadership also plays a big part of absolutely.

587
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson, by the way, just interesting just looking at

588
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: his snap counts all the way through free safety, played

589
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: thirty two snaps against Tampa Bay, played just three with

590
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: New England at free safety. Then he played fourteen snaps

591
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: in the box, which is where we think. I guess overall,

592
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: we think Donovan Wilson belongs in the box, right I

593
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: think of him. That's the way I think of it

594
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: as well. Fourteen snaps against Tampa Bay in Week one,

595
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: and he had four snaps in the box against New England,

596
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: So I mean he's been used in a couple different spots.

597
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: So maybe it is the combination of guys like Kazy

598
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: and Curse going in there and taking some snaps away

599
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: from Dono. Okay, I've got a winner and loser. Two.

600
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: I could go with a couple different guys that you

601
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: guys didn't name. Treyvon Diggs certainly a winner. Dak Prescott

602
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,239
Speaker 1: certainly a winner. Even with the calf injury, he has

603
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: played out of his mind. He is certainly in the

604
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: MVP conversation. If you asked me, yeah, I'll jump out

605
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: of the cake for that. He's in the MVP conversation.

606
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: Dak Diggs could certainly be in there. Two. RG three

607
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: put up like rankings the other day, really funny. RG

608
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: three of course not a Cowboys guy, but he put

609
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: up rankings for his top five MVP candidates right now.

610
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: Treyvon Diggs was number five. He was in the top

611
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: five though. It's the last defensive guy to win it.

612
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: M that's a good question. I don't know off the

613
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: top of my head. It's really a quarterback award, honestly, yeah,

614
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: or it has been historically. You could throw Derek Henry

615
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: in that race too, I think right now for sure

616
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: as a non quarterback. You see what they did against

617
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City. But I'm gonna go with Ezekiel Elliott as

618
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: my winner, and just the way that he's run the ball.

619
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: He's been able to kind of silence some of the

620
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: doubters over the last couple of weeks, and after a

621
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty season where he even said it was a

622
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: show blank show. I'm not I can't say it on

623
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: the air, but he was upset with his twenty twenty output.

624
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: But twenty twenty one has certainly been much different for

625
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: twenty one, and he has taken full reins of being

626
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: a key contributor or a cornerstone for this offense. And

627
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: so I could count him as a winner. My loser,

628
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: I would put Tristan Hill, And the reason why is

629
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: because Nabel Gallimore is probably gonna be back before Hill.

630
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: He's not been available through training camp, through the preseason,

631
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: all the way up until this point. Still doesn't look

632
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: like he's going to be ready to go for the

633
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: coming weeks. At least at this point. From what we've

634
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: been told, Nabel Gallimore is going to come back. Oh

635
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: Digizoo is playing exceptionally well. Carlos Watkins comes in on

636
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: a one year deal. He's been a leader on that

637
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: defensive line. Brent Urban's a one year deal and he's

638
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: been playing really well. I think it's kind of the

639
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: same thing with Donovan Wilson in the safety conversation, except

640
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: I think can a step up. Where do you put

641
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: Tristan Hill in the rotation? At that point there's four

642
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: guys right there, And that's not to mention even some

643
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: of the mixing and matching that dan Quinn can do

644
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: on that front line. I think it's tough to see

645
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: where Hill fits in. I don't even know if it's

646
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: guaranteed he comes off pup this year at all. Well,

647
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: I mean maybe not. I mean there's a window there.

648
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: They can start him now on practice and it's three

649
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: weeks and I think it might be another two weeks

650
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: after that, and they can just see how he's doing

651
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: and with your the depth, like you said, if he's

652
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: not ready, then they don't have to do this. So

653
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: to your point, I mean, he may not play this.

654
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: I mean who knows or if if he does play,

655
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: like you said, it's gonna be probably a limited role

656
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: provided these guys stay healthy, you hope. So yeah, I

657
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: think I can see them kicking the can to rob

658
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: his words, kick the can down and wrote for a

659
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: Hill as pretty much you put him in, you put

660
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: him on the hip, right, he's these extra AMMO if

661
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: you if you run out of AMO, if you have

662
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: to shoot, you shoot your shots and you run out,

663
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: you know, boom, you can go straight to the hip

664
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: and bring him in. But if you don't need him,

665
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: you ain't gonna put him in and just wait on

666
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: that save a roster spot. I mean, the same thing

667
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna do with Simme Simeill. Just he'll be on,

668
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: he'll be he'll be sitting on the sideline to next year.

669
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: I just think it's weird. I think it's weird that

670
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: we went from twenty twenty not having any depth to

671
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: now in twenty twenty one, we got so much depth

672
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: in those two spots, on two spots where we need.

673
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: Like last year we were, man, we were just hey,

674
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,239
Speaker 1: we were getting guys off the street coming in here.

675
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: Please try off for the Cowboys to be a defensive linemen. Yeah,

676
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: let's go, I mean seriously and now. And we talked

677
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,719
Speaker 1: about Tristan Hill last year. He was having a pretty

678
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: solid year and once he blows his knee up and

679
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: obviously getting that back, and we talk about Brent Brown

680
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: and what he's doing on staff. I think if anything,

681
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: Tristan Hill, if he's recovered right there in going through

682
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: Brent Brown in the in the bands, he should be

683
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: ready to go. But if you're the Cowboys and you

684
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: have all the organization is looking at the depth of them,

685
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: and then like you said, kick the can down the road,

686
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: but also, hey man, this may be a situation where

687
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: you mean be able to get your seat back, and

688
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: some of the unwritten rules of football is you can't

689
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: lose your spot if you're hurt. But yeah, we know

690
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: how they go. It's a business and they're gonna make

691
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: the business decision when it comes down the hill. He's

692
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: like the forgotten man sation. I think he would add

693
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: something though, no doubt, because he fits what QUI. I mean,

694
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: that's why they signed Carlos Watkinson. They want to get

695
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: up the field, probably in the nickel defense and add

696
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: to this rotation that he wants. I mean, I think

697
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: it definitely would help. But I just you know, snaps

698
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: snaps snaps are scarce well, and that's exactly why I

699
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: put him in that category because he could come in

700
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: and play. He could definitely come in. We saw a

701
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: week one through five last year. He's still got something.

702
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: He's got NFL level talent. He's got a potential starter

703
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: level talent as well. He's just in this what fourth

704
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: year now or third year now? They're going into his

705
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: fourth year, so next year would be the contract year.

706
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's that's just it's something that's a

707
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: bit disappointing that you haven't seen seventy two out there.

708
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: You haven't seen him be able to contribute, and I

709
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: think that's why he I would put him in that category.

710
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: But that was fun. Yeah, and I think your initial

711
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: answer for winner is probably the right answer. Like das Well,

712
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: Dack's the winner. Dak coming off that injury, what he's done,

713
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: I mean, his numbers aren't the same as every quarterback,

714
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 1: but I think he has to be at the very

715
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: top of the MVP race right now. Yeah, based on

716
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: what this team's doing where he came from. Some of

717
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: his numbers. I mean, his completion percentage is ridiculous right now. Yeah,

718
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: that's the completion percentage? Is that? And I'm everybody knows, man,

719
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stand up for Dak on anything. But you

720
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: have to look at the rest of the league when

721
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: the MVP MVP races is announced. There's some guys out

722
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: there that's putting in numbers and TV twelve is one

723
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: of them. You have to also look at Kylin Murray

724
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: and what he's doing. So I think with the completion

725
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: percentage alone, that gives you the and what he's had

726
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: to overcome from last season, but there's just a lot

727
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: of good quarterbacks falling out this year. Nui Scruggs came

728
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: in after Mick shots and was asking us, and they

729
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: talked about on their show, who makes the Pro Bowl

730
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: out of the NFC after seven games? Right? Oh god,

731
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: how many three quarterbacks make it? Yeah, there's it too.

732
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: I forget three. I mean, all these top teams right

733
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: now have really really good quarterback play. Dak's making the

734
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl if this keeps up, though, I don't care

735
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: anybody says, but it's an interesting conversation. It is an

736
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: interesting conversation. Man, the Pro Bowl. That's it's great a run, yeah, Kyler, Kyler,

737
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: it's four. If you really think of Matthew Stafflin's in

738
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and three goes I mean, yeah, yeah,

739
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: it's good point. Yeah, great point, Tom Brady, jesus, Yeah,

740
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: who does get in the top three? But just even

741
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: in the VP MVP race, Matthew Stafford right now is

742
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: playing incredible. Yeah. Derek Carr and a lot of people

743
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: don't want to get cars his flowers, but I'm telling you,

744
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: with everything that's happened with his coaching staff, he's he's

745
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: starting a corner they're two and oh. Now without Gruden

746
00:36:55,760 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 1: at that coach, watch out now you have raids later on.

747
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: That's a Thanksgiving game this year. That'll want to be

748
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: all right when we come back here on Talking Cowboys.

00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: us a chance to do our Jessie and myself to

809
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: give a pitch about our shows. Okay, because you know

810
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: we were obviously on his show, so he wanted us

811
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: to have opportunity to amp up our shows. And I

812
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: knocked that out of the park. Miss no opportunity. It

813
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: was good. Did you wear your tightest shirt though, when

814
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: you're sitting next to job? Oh? All right, before this

815
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: gets too off the rails, let's go ahead and go

816
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: to Mike from New York. Mike, you're on Talking Cowboys.

817
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: What's up man? What's going on? Guys? I just want

818
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: to say, obviously, obviously listen to the show when I

819
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: obviously it was a bye week and then next week

820
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: the trade deadline. If you guys think that we don't

821
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 1: make any moves, that's you guys think we're gonna any ce.

822
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: Cherry will sometimes do it, but it's like you know

823
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna make any trades. Ir. Yeah, well I appreciate it. Mike.

824
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,439
Speaker 1: What do you guys think about that, because I feel

825
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: like that's half of my Twitter mentions right now is

826
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: talking about trade potentials. I think, you know what, I

827
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: don't think it's too far off the bean path. I

828
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: think I listen, listen. I would not want to miss

829
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: with the continuity of this team. However, if you were

830
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: ever in a position to make a trade and receive

831
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 1: value for it, this is the time to do it, yep.

832
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: Because we have so much value on this team. We

833
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: have so many guys playing well. Where if you were

834
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: going to add an additional piece that was gonna give

835
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: you that extra little that you need to put your

836
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: team over the edge, this would be the time to

837
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: do it because you have the most value right now

838
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 1: in your team. So I'm number one. I don't want

839
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,919
Speaker 1: to mess with it with the contws. But if you're

840
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: going to make a big old splash and say I'm

841
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: gonna go out there and get another shut down corner, WHOA,

842
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: You could do that right now right with the guys

843
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,240
Speaker 1: that you have. You have that you have the trade

844
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: about the death, You have the equity to go out

845
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,919
Speaker 1: there and make that move right now versus other years

846
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: where you're messing not that great guys don't value your

847
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: players that much. Think about a couple of guys on

848
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,240
Speaker 1: the roster that aren't getting normal playing time that could

849
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: help another team. Yeah. Well, I mean when you talk

850
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: about equity, obviously they're going to be some quality guys

851
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: that you would We're not gonna get into a name.

852
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: I'm just saying there would be a quality guy that

853
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: you would be giving up to go get that quote

854
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: unquote shutdown guy. And I agree with you. I wouldn't.

855
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mess with it because of where we are

856
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: right now. And look, let's just hey, man, we bold

857
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 1: do it, do it how we want to do it.

858
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 1: A lot of people have been talking about Michael Gallup

859
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: and if there's any trade value for Michael Gallup because

860
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: he's in the contract year, and I think that's crazy,

861
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 1: man they even start that talk, because you want to

862
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: have your guys that you draft and you built, you

863
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: built him up to be this this offense. Even to

864
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 1: even say that he's a third receiver is not a

865
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: curse word on this roster because all three of these

866
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: guys could have a thousand yards season. Are there potentially

867
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,720
Speaker 1: a thousand yards season? So I just think he fits

868
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: the system. So perfectly. And I think if you have

869
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 1: Mike Gallup and the Patriots game, maybe you don't have

870
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: to win in a walk off. You're right, But I mean,

871
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: but when you take emotions out of it, right, when

872
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: you take emotions out of it, you're gonna lose Gallup

873
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: this year. Gallup's not coming back. I think we can.

874
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: I am not the only one that feels that way.

875
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 1: Are we gonna have the bag to be able to

876
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: secure him along with all the other responsibility we finally

877
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: agree with there? It depends on the system. So what

878
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: would what would be the contract for I don't know

879
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: what the as far as the rest of the league,

880
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: what would he would be would be the asking price?

881
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: It depends on what he comes back. Gallup can get

882
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: more somewhere else than he can get here with Dallas

883
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: that we can pay him, probably probably. So it's about

884
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: I understand loving your team and loving organism and people

885
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: that gave it. But at the end of the day

886
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: year in the league to win games and make money,

887
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: you look at what the Cowboys have to do. Also,

888
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: Gregory's up, everybody's vander Rashes up, somebody else is up.

889
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: That's pretty But also the salary cap is going up,

890
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: the salary cap is going up as well, and whatever

891
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: it is that he's asking for, I don't know if

892
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: he's asking for top tier or wide receiver money. And

893
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: if he leaves here and goes somewhere else, is he

894
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,919
Speaker 1: do you feel like Mike g could be a number

895
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: one receiver? But that's not first to figure out. I'm

896
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: talking about just what the money that he's probably probably

897
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 1: going to have on the table. If you believe, if

898
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: the front office believes that, if they're going to lose

899
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: Gallop anyways, nobody will here in this room right now

900
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: once you get rid of Gallup. Let's let's get that

901
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: across the table. But if you're in the front office

902
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: and you feel like there's a high probability that he

903
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: will not be on your roster next year, that's a

904
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: guy that comes up in conversation in terms of trade.

905
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: That's up to them to decide. Because I look from

906
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: the outside looking in right now, I'm not willing to

907
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: say it is chocked up done. Michael Gallup is not

908
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 1: a cowboy in twenty twenty two. Same. I am not

909
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: there yet because there are so many different parts different

910
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: they can make it happen. But I'm not. I'm not

911
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: one hundred percent there. If the front office, just based

912
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 1: off of their conversations, has that inkling where it's like, yeah,

913
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 1: there's no way he's coming back. Fine, yep, let's talk

914
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 1: about it. But I don't think that's even anywhere close.

915
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to win the Super Bowl this year. Yeah, dude,

916
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,879
Speaker 1: Marie Cooper has been kind of limping around last few weeks. Man,

917
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: the long way to get like we talked about, I mean,

918
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: games are left and I'm just about Gallop. I mean,

919
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: we got because a lineman and we can get rid of.

920
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: We got some guys that we can do. We have

921
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: the equity. He's multiple players. Maybe it's two players for

922
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 1: one really good player. You're trying to make that one

923
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: bold move like a Mari three years ago, that kind

924
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: of puts you over the year. I think. I think

925
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,240
Speaker 1: a bold move is having the number one offense scoring

926
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 1: and number one offense yardagewise, and then adding a Michael

927
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: Gallup to that offense had he's not been available in

928
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: the last five games. So that's a bold move for

929
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: me specifically. But we're going over. We've got one more caller.

930
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 1: This is Dan from Abilene Dan, what's up man, you're

931
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: on talking cowboys? Well, continuing that, why wouldn't they trade

932
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 1: for a defensive lineman because that's going to make your

933
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: current cornerbacks look so much better than that. To me,

934
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 1: it's a bigger need to press the quarterbacks. I mean,

935
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: everybody's seeing the stat about what's his name that guy

936
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: in Green Bay was, oh yeah, Aaron Rodgers, and all

937
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's fairly average, even below average. We

938
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: need more pressure that I'll make our cornerbacks look better.

939
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: So what do you think about that for a trade?

940
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: I think it goes back to what Jerry said. He

941
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 1: was asked this on the fan about he said, we're

942
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: open for business year round. Oh however, he said, did

943
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: you get that? Chris, on the other hand, I don't

944
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: think so. We got a unique situation because we've got

945
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 1: players coming back that we're going to have to open

946
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: roster spots for bigger problem than trading for somebody right now. So,

947
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you're getting two starters back off ir eventually.

948
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,240
Speaker 1: But to that point, if you have too many players

949
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 1: that can't such field, doesn't it make sense to trade

950
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: a couple of them to get one dog? Or he

951
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: was saying trade for a defensive linem I'm getting, Oh yeah,

952
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: think back, I'm getting yeah, yeah, that's say I don't also,

953
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: So to answer your question, mister Abilen, I don't foresee

954
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: us getting getting another D lineman. Well, I think our

955
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: D line is a dog on solid And you remember

956
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: we're doing all these things without both of our defensive

957
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 1: ends in the game at the same time. So we

958
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: get d law back. Right, we have great ground office

959
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 1: a side. It's a totally different defensive line. Right, we

960
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: have two of the league's most dominant, probably most dangerous

961
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: defensive ends, and on one roster. I don't foresee us

962
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 1: doing that. I do foresee us looking at a dominant

963
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: shutdown corner if we add that element to this roster

964
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: by getting rid of a couple of guys that probably

965
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: are going to be in rotational players, right, that can

966
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: add value to another team, And we already have too

967
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:47,359
Speaker 1: many players that aren't going to be all be able

968
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: to touch the field. It makes sense. Let's get rid

969
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 1: of a couple. Let's grab one solid one now, all

970
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: of a sudden, who are you gonna throw too? No,

971
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: I understand where Dan is coming from, and I had

972
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 1: those same doubts coming into the season because I didn't

973
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: know who also, Diggi Zula Will. None of these guys

974
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 1: are even Carlos Watkins from Houston. They're coming here, man,

975
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: and these guys are as far as Solsa, Diggy Zoo.

976
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: I think Whoa. The value that we're getting from that

977
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 1: draft pick is speaking volumes from the numbers that he's

978
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: putting up now getting Chauncey Golston back, and Bohannah is

979
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,439
Speaker 1: still doing the service he's doing well or Brent Urban.

980
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: I just think right now, the rotation that we have

981
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,760
Speaker 1: defensive line wise, we're creating that pressure. We're getting everything

982
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 1: that we would ask from our front line. So I

983
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: don't know if we would trade away an asset to

984
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 1: get another defensive lineman. I agree with you. I think

985
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:39,959
Speaker 1: our another corner would be good and maybe not Dog

986
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown's doing a hell of a job. You saw that.

987
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:47,919
Speaker 1: I tried to do it with it. Come on, Pete,

988
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 1: let me get away with it like that every time

989
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 1: you see that. But I mean the reality is we

990
00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: have ten million dollars invest into into two cornerbacks. Yeah,

991
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: we have ten million dollars invested into two cornerbacks, not

992
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 1: a lot, Bob, not a lot. Yeah, just waiting a

993
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: couple of years though, it's gonna go crazy. Don't tell

994
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 1: me that. Come on, Yeah, he's gonna get paid paid. Yeah,

995
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 1: um I I kind of lean toward Dan's thinking, I

996
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,399
Speaker 1: either one for the right price, let's do it, because

997
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,439
Speaker 1: a shutdown corner would be fantastic. But also we've seen

998
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: some holes in this run defense as well, not even

999
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:33,879
Speaker 1: just with the pass rush. The pass rush is gonna

1000
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:37,399
Speaker 1: be there. Remember DeMarcus Lawrence is coming back. He's gonna

1001
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 1: be back for that, for that last couple of weeks,

1002
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 1: last month of the season, going into the playoffs, he's

1003
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: gonna be rolling. I wouldn't be against whip the young

1004
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: pieces that you have, Chauncey Golston. Oh. So I think

1005
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: Zua Neville Gallimore to bring in a veteran defensive end,

1006
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 1: defensive tackle, somebody like that, maybe not d end more

1007
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: d tackle to maybe be a part of that defensive

1008
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: line and continue their growth with somebody that's done it

1009
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 1: before it still does it at a high level. So

1010
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot going on there that you

1011
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: could really play around with. You're thinking, like the Rams

1012
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 1: do Rams don't have any draft picks left because they're like,

1013
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: we're good, We're gonna compete, content trade for everyone, and

1014
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 1: let's yeah, let's just go for it. You know, I

1015
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: get it. I'm listening. We got guys, we got extra guys.

1016
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: I like it. All right. That's it for us here

1017
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,800
