Got Nick and Dave here with me. 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.840 We're gonna talk some Cowboys football. We're gonna zero in 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:57.040 on the Giants defense today versus the Cowboys offense. We'll 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.640 be joined by Bucky Brooks in the second segment um 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:01.680 and we'll get you guys ready for the game, looking 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:05.040 at it mainly from the Cowboys offense point of view. 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:09.000 Let's start first catching up with a quick update from Nick. 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:12.600 Give me a thirty six, A good thirty six? You 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:16.120 got thirty six? No, I don't know. Vince all Brittain 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.360 is the only name that ever comes to mind when 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:20.399 I think of thirty six Okay, do you know him? No, 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:22.280 I don't know him. He played like safety. He was 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.120 a big guy in the eighties. He wasn't really the 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:30.039 greatest big guy that was bigger big or big bigger safety. Okay, 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.680 they weren't good in the eighties. But thirty six, I mean, 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:34.440 I don't know, Dave. Is there a thirty six you 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:37.240 can think of? Tony Pollard wore it for like three months, 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:39.680 about all I got. Did he play in a game 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:41.720 with that? No, he switched the minute they cut their 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:43.920 roster down. That's a nice little nugget. But like when 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:48.480 he his rookie year, I guess that wasn't Zeke's holdout year, right, 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.000 was it? When he was in Hawaii and he was 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.200 doing all it was? Yeah? It was because that because 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.640 Jerry famously was like Zeke wu was he wearing thirty 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:58.520 six and then he wore thirty six until the regular 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:01.200 season started, Right. I got a couple for you. There's 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:06.360 a Michael Black. Michael Black actually remember him? Yeah, everywhere? 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:15.600 Terek Smith Suday, Okay, that's a good one. Yeah, Quincy Butler, okay, cornerback, Yep, 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:23.720 we're going deep here. Michael Hamlin Hamlin for a little bit. Yeah, yeah, 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:28.440 all right, that's good. We'll stick with that. Not a 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:29.880 lot of good ones. You're not gonna get Hall of 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.799 Fame worthy at thirty six. Now, all right, let's let's 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.480 catch up on some injuries. Zeke Elliott miss practice yesterday 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.560 or at least was partial practice yesterday. What what was this? 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:41.440 What was the status he didn't practice? What was the 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.840 status in and where is he at this point? He's 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:47.480 got a sore knee, he's a running back, he carries 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.640 the ball a lot. I think he's fine. I know 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.960 he's fine. Okay, yeah, you know he's fine. I know 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:56.160 he's fine. You'll play. We do this every week, and 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.960 I just you know, wear and tear management. Some guy 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.760 guys need the practice time and some guys don't. I 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:06.240 think he'll be okay. He talked the media brought him over. 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.200 If he wasn't fine, they think that's again, like there's 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.800 always context clues for this, and if a guy talks 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:15.040 to the media after missing practice, he's fine. The same thing. 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:19.120 Randy Gregory was out of practice, joking around watching people working, 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.360 you know, joking with members of the media, watching drills, 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.160 and then he walked back inside. It's like, if you 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.280 were worried about your availability, you'd be in the training room. Yeah, 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.240 the whole practice. All right, Carlos Watchetts, who has missed? 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.280 Now how many? How many weeks? Is he? A good question? 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:37.840 He got hurt against LA or I don't think. I 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:41.400 don't think he played in LA and I don't remember 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.120 some reason. I think it was the first game when 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.480 he got her parent But he's been out quite a while. 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.640 Said some COVID issues too, has he Well he did 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:52.400 for a while, he got in he yes, Dave, Yeah, Dave, 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.080 he wasn't he played a La LA game. He got 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:59.680 hurt against the charters. Um, so he's on his small wins. Well, 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.120 I feel like my memory is not as good as 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.160 it used to be. So like anytime that, anytime it 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:08.080 serves me correctly, I'm like, all right, still got I'm winning? 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.920 Um yeah, he's he's working his way back. I think 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.240 they're optimistic that he'll be available. So well this week. 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:18.719 Was that a drop or was that a drop? Okay? 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:20.640 Would you think Chris was over there just clapping? I 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.039 was definitely Mario Brothers. Yeah right, I just didn't know. 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:24.600 I mean, I don't know what's going on. There. There's 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.840 a lot going on in there. They're doing a lot 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:28.120 of things, but I don't know, and maybe it was 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.240 might be another might have been another show, right, Yeah, yeah, 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.120 I'm playing video games over here. Sorry, it is a drop. 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.480 Carlos was limited yesterday. Being limited on the first day 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.159 of the practice week is usually a good sign coming 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:40.880 back from an injury, so I feel good about So 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:42.920 maybe chance he's he plays this week, I would call 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:46.520 it likely. Okay, good uh, Dorance Armstrong, Donovan Wilson. The 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.800 expectation is they're probably still out, Yes, they're I think 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.719 they're still Donovan Wilson, I'm starting to think you probably 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:56.160 don't see till after the bye week, which again, groin injury. 0:04:56.400 --> 0:05:00.000 Those are tough, so that makes sense Drance. Stephen Jones 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.640 said Monday, he's probably he's further away, that's Stephen Jones 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:05.679 said Monday. He was like, we think Carlos will probably 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.640 play this week. Durrance still a little ways away. So yeah, 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.600 and it checks out that. You wonder though, did they 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.719 not did they miss evaluate? But you and their strategy 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.880 could be completely different. But you know, you could put 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:19.720 these guys on ir if they were going to be 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.280 out three weeks and Donovan Wilson now has been and 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.359 Durrance probably will be as well, So they could have 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.720 done that. I just don't know if that's something that 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:28.680 they want to do. These guys are going to be 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.880 inactive anyways. You have to have guys inactive. So they've 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.960 also got still can't believe we're saying this. They got 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.960 bodies at safety like they got Yeah, they have a 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.799 large number of guys who can step in right so 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.640 that you know, maybe they just don't feel the need. Yeah. Um, 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:45.840 let's move on. Let's talk a little bit about Lyle Collins. 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.080 Yesterday there was a report that he supposedly is suing 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:52.960 the NFL with the purposes of trying to get Um, 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:55.279 I don't know if it is it trying to get 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.680 money back, is it trying to get back on the field. 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.560 And in less than the five games that he's been suspend, 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:05.599 those things are the same, I mean true. Dave's Dave's 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.119 all over this. So he's our legal is he? No, 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:10.680 you listen to my radio head this morning, you did 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:14.520 a good job, legal correspondent. We have that. I guess 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.880 I have to eat one. I have to apologize to him. 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:22.000 I don't follow Daniel Walack anymore because I don't need to, 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.440 but I guess he's been weighing in on this, and 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.520 it took me down memory lane to hear his name. 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.359 Just thinking back to the Zeke sack. Daniel Walack was 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.359 the reporter that he's a legal he's a lawyer and 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.680 legal reporter who was just a knee deep in the 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:41.120 Zeke situation and remember all that. Yeah, all right, so yeah, 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:45.520 he's obviously suspended five games, he's done three already, trying 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.400 to get back for the final two. Um, I think 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.400 the questions, you know, you could say, well why and 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:55.080 we'll even play and all that. Everything in life, including this, 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.719 comes down to money, and I think that's that's where 0:06:57.880 --> 0:06:59.880 this really is. It's not just about money this year, 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.160 about money next year, which seems to be a theme 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:06.240 of the week here. But as far as with with Lyell, 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:11.119 this is my understanding of this, is that he he's 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:15.240 got guarantees for next year that were avoided because he 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.440 was suspended, and now if he's wrongly suspended, which he 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.560 believes he is, then those not only should he get 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:24.880 his money back for the games he's missed, but the 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.520 guarantees for next year, should be back in place in 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.880 his contract. That's so even if the five games stayed, 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.200 the point is we are they're still ram I mean, 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.640 I'm sorry if he if this wasn't finished being adjudicated 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.160 until after the five games. It's not like it's a 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:40.760 lost cost. I think for a lot of fans are 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:42.880 like well by, we know how our legal system moves 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.320 at snail's pace. The likelihood of this getting done before 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.559 these five games up too small. But what you're saying 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.560 is there are bigger ramifications that maybe he can recoup 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:54.720 some of that money and he can keep his contract 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.360 intact for next That's what That's my understanding of it. 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:01.840 I again, I mean thank you because you said I'm 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:03.200 on top of it. I think you've got a better 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:05.320 understanding of it than I do. But obviously you can't 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.320 play the game. And Terren Steele's played fine, and if 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:11.720 he were, you know, if he's cleared tomorrow, I don't 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:15.760 think he plays you know, I think they're fine with 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.040 what they've got with Terren Steele. But also, I mean, 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.080 I don't know how in shape he's been. The good 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.560 thing is that he has been in the building now 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.920 the last two weeks. He has been here, he's been 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.320 able to work out, he can go in meetings, so 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.239 he should be somewhat in football shape at least maybe 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:33.880 to be a backup. I still I don't think it'll 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.800 happen this week, but who knows. Maybe, Well, we've seen 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.400 this song and dance before, not only which you're right. 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:44.080 Obviously the legal system moves into snail's pace in most cases, 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:47.120 but they found a way to keep making rulings every 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.559 five to ten days with Zeke, so did True. Who knows. 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:52.840 It's something to keep an eye on. I don't think 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.760 he'll be available against the Giants either way, but I 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.960 don't blame him for trying to get his money back. 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.800 Be back on the field. Lash played this Saturday with 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:06.760 time six thirty pm. That'll be something to put that 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:08.840 on me. Or it might be it might be about 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:10.960 like a noon or something like that. Yeah, it might 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.439 be about noon on Saturday. It'll be it'll be something. 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:17.080 Oh yeah, judges don't work on weekends, do they do what? 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.880 Judges don't work on weekends? Do that they shouldn't, Yeah, 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:23.720 especially not during the LSU Joe judge works on Sunday? True, 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.680 does he? Sorry? I don't. Yes, he does, he does. 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:28.880 Let's don't go down that road. Yes, he'll be here Sunday. 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:30.640 So let me ask you this question. Let's assume for 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.679 a second this actually works out for a lile and 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:38.040 he is made available and they reverse this thing on Saturday. Um, 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.640 do you think if you're the Cowboys, with what you've 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:42.480 seen from Terrence Still, do you throw him right in 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:44.079 or do you say, hey, we've been practicing all week, 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.920 we stick with Terrence still on Saturday. App No, No, 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.559 that's not that's insane. No, you're not gonna throw a 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:51.559 guy who's been out for almost a month. I don't know. 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:53.600 I mean, at this point, let's assume it's it's today, 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:56.640 it's Thursday. I don't think so okay, especially with how 0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:00.280 well Terrence has been playing. I don't think he he 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.800 comes in and starts as he could he be a 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:07.800 swing tackle at all or this week this week? Okay? Yeah, no, 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:09.600 I mean maybe could be the swing tackle this week 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:13.199 in in in some hypothetical if he were cleared today, 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.520 I think he'd be active on Sunday. Maybe not as 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.680 a fifty sixty seventy snap starter, but I think you 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:22.319 get him in uniform got a got a clear roster spot. 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.280 You know, he's not on the roster right now, so 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.280 you gotta you gotta get a spotform. But I think 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.560 they do. They've done a nice job with their roster, 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:33.360 Like they're not sitting at fifty three. They they've had 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.320 a spot or two open, it seems like for the 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.280 last three or four weeks. So it's a different world 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.760 we're in right now with with how they manage the roster. 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.240 I don't think that would be a big problem. But 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:44.800 I think they went through a couple like with an 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:46.760 Eye and Neil on COVID, they went through at least 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:48.640 a week or two where they had like fifty guys 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.000 on the roy they don't, And it's it's it's just 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.719 way different because you can elevate guys on game day 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:56.800 from the practice squad. I mean if you think about it, 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:58.480 and I know it made a lot more sense last 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.040 year with how intense the protocols were. But like remember 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:04.640 in the old days, and by the old days, I 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.040 mean two years ago, right way back, it used to 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.440 be a weekly thing to be like, well they a 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.920 defensive tackle got hurt on Sunday, So they're working like 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.600 three guys out on Tuesday, Like I haven't really been 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.400 seeing that A because you're different. You keep extra bodies 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:21.080 on the practice squad and that's why, and the protocols 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.120 make it more difficult to get people in the building. 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.160 So you just don't even bother with that. And you're like, yeah, 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:28.920 just we'll make those decisions on Sunday morning because we can. Yeah, 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.040 I don't know what's going to happen when like la 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.560 Sean McEwan comes back. I mean they've been kind of 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:37.800 moving Jeremy Sprinkle up down, up down, finding ways elevate him. Oh, 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:40.600 he's a COVID replacement. They've got ways to do it. 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:43.480 But when mquan comes back, they probably aren't going to 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.480 do that with him, just keep putting him on practice 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.080 squad and all that. So they are going to have 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.240 to figure out a spot there, keep three tight ends 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.520 all the time when he comes back. I mean this 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.960 high ankles brain now, I mean it was the Cardinals 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:58.080 game in preseason. Yeah, and I mean I know high 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:01.079 ankles brain, but dang, well, you know that's the thing, 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:03.320 the high ankle sprain, Like it can go like you've 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.400 seen this happen before. Guy gets a high ankle spraining. 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.560 He's out a pretty significant amount of time for that. Yeah, 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:11.480 it's it's probably it's about it's almost as equivalent as 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:13.800 breaking it a bone. I mean really in some way 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.400 I've heard I've heard the trainers say, in some ways 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.679 it's better if they do break the bone because it bones, 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:23.000 he'll recover or go some of these tendons like that, 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:27.040 strain like that. You never know. Wow. The one I sorry, 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:28.760 the one I think about all the time is I 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:32.640 looked Randy. Randy did a high ankle and the season 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.640 opener of his first year and he wasn't really back 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:40.840 until after Halloween. Brilliant. Yeah, yeah, that's a long time, 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:44.640 all right. Speaking of managing the roster, Cowboys obviously cut 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.560 Jalen Smith back on Tuesday. Today we hear news that 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:49.400 he has signed with the Green Bay Packers. You guys 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:51.920 are all surprised that it happened so quickly that another 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:53.400 team picked him up, or is this kind of what 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.040 you expected when he got cut, that he'd get picked 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:59.040 up pretty quick? And I would expect him, you know, 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:02.240 to get picked up. Um, he's in football shape, he's 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:05.360 ready to go, and you know, teams need help. I 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:07.880 don't really know their situation. They lose guys or I 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.720 know they're banged up, but I'm not their three four 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:14.719 defense I believe, so yeah, yeah they are. Man, that's 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:16.480 kind of what you said yesterday. You thought he should 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:19.360 be a good inside just play on rundowns on as 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:22.120 an inside backer. You know, I remembered you saying that, 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.280 and I'll talking to somebody else yesterday and I was like, 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:26.599 you know, at first, I agreed with your thought, and 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:28.240 then I was like, that means he's gonna have to 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.559 get off of guards. And that's the one thing I 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:32.400 don't think he does very well is get off blocks. 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:36.000 Is he a better four three? What does he do well? 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.160 And like, I mean, that's I don't want to be mean. 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.240 I don't want to be mean either, But he got 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.120 he they cut, They took a eight million dollar loss 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:47.640 because they didn't want him on the team anymore. And 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.360 that's I'm not I'm not trying to be mean, but 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.160 I'm I'm fascinated to see how this goes. Like because 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.480 if I were I'd look at the tape of Jalen 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.360 and be like, all right, we gotta have a very 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.720 specific plan of what we're going to do. With this guy, 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.520 and they may and what they may, and I don't know. 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.040 I don't know what would be. No, I do know 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.480 the answer. I mean, if Green Bay gets him playing great, 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:12.800 it's gonna be an amazing story and also embarrassing for 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.520 the cowboys, Like if they get him playing like a stud, 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:20.160 that'll be rough rough times here um or on the 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.680 flip side of that, like it's easy for me to 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.600 imagine him quietly letting him go in three or four 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.360 weeks because they're like, ooh, you know what this is. 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.600 I go with me on this one. Okay, I could 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.960 be wrong, but to breaking down everyone's like why why now? 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:36.640 And all this. I'm gonna try to put this in 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.080 our terms, in like on our level for money and 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:43.640 all that, you buy one of those subscriptions on like 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:47.360 you know, oh new streaming device a month or whatever, 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:50.720 like oh, I want to watch this. It's like paramount 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:52.400 plus or whatever it is, and you get it and 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:54.360 you watch it. You know, like this kind of sucks 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:57.080 and you're like I already paid for it for the month, 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.160 but like this sucks, Like you know what, I'm gonna 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:00.880 just go ahead and can this because if I don't 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.200 cancel this now that's gonna hit me in the next 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:04.800 month and next month that it could go up and 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:06.840 all that. So yeah, I already paid for it, but 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.120 I'm just canceling because I don't like it, and I 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.360 don't pay me any more billing for it because I 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.240 could forget and all that. That's what I kind of 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:16.120 think in our turn. What do you think of my analogy? Analogy? 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:18.960 Sometimes I like that. I think maybe Todd was just upstairs, like, man, 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.320 we might forget to cut him next year. You might 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:23.760 forget to cut out what I'm saying. You paid for it, 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:27.520 but let's just get it out of you. That makes sense. 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.000 That's actually a pretty decent analogy, pretty decent down I'm 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:32.400 fifty fifty on though, something that was pretty good. That 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:34.080 one I can ride with. Okay, we're gonna take our 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:35.680 first our first break. When we come back, we'll be 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.160 joined by Bucky Brooks of NFL Network Network.

Welcome back, second segment of The Break, 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.760 live from the SWBC Mortgage studios at the Star. It's 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.640 time to talk a little Giants versus Cowboys, which today 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:20.040 we're focusing on the Giants defense versus the Cowboys offense. 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.679 We got Bucky Brooks of NFL Network joining us, and Bucky, 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:25.280 let's start with I don't know that this is a 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:28.720 team that fans Cowboys fans have really watched a lot 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:30.720 because they are one of the bottom teams from the 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:33.080 standpoint of records. So just give us a kind of 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:36.679 a general overview of what this defense does best. In 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.320 what they do, what's the worst thing that they do. 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.040 Patrick Graham does a really good job of mixing things up. 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:47.720 It's a very complex defense, really hard to learn, and 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:51.280 so what they've done is they've got a collection of 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:56.200 really smart, tough, high motor football players that play well together. 0:18:56.640 --> 0:19:00.320 This is a team defense, not one that is loaded 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.360 with stars. But when they're all connected and playing well, 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:07.560 they are very challenging to deal with. Leonard Williams kind 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.320 of starts them at the line of scrimmage. They do 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:12.360 a good job of kind of getting after the run 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.600 and putting you in bad situations and then trying to 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:16.440 get after it. But Leonard Williams is the guy that 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:18.200 kind of makes it go. At the point of attack. 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:20.560 They lost a guy who was the main tackler. That 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.840 was Blake Martinez. He tore his ACL. So right now 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:26.720 they're kind of struggling trying to figure out how to 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:29.480 make it, how to make your work. Obviously, the areas 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.360 where they're vulnerable, where they can be attacked. I think 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:35.520 their secondary has nice athletes. I don't know if those 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:39.520 guys are great cover players. James Bradberry is not playing 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:41.239 to the same level that he played at last year, 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.520 but he's a really good player. Or Derry Jackson has 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:46.160 always been up and down throughout his career, and so 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:49.880 those guys are vulnerable on the outside. But on any 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.199 given Sunday, they have played well. They played pretty well 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:56.159 last week against the Saints Bucky. Obviously, the news here 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:59.479 is Jalen Smith signing with the Packers. Would he had 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:01.240 been a good fit for the Giants. I mean, we 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:03.119
