Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys, Let's go. Are you ready for a break?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 4: Are you ready for a break?
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Ready for a break?
Speaker 5: Yeah, And so much for that.
Speaker 6: It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com.
Speaker 6: We were with Ambar Garcia, Brian brought us, Patrick Walker,
Speaker 6: and Derek Eagleton.
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, welcome back to another episode of The Break.
Speaker 7: Derek is nowhere to be found right now, so we're
Speaker 7: just going gonna go ahead and start the show. We
Speaker 7: got Patrick and Brian here, and I wanted to start
Speaker 7: the show just like Derek always does, asking about injury
Speaker 7: updates and where we're at currently right now? Patrick, do
Speaker 7: you have that for us?
Speaker 5: I do so, first and foremost. It sounds as if
Speaker 5: Rico Dowdell, who suffered what's described as a hip contusion
Speaker 5: and the blowout went over the Patriots he left in
Speaker 5: the third quarter, didn't return. Sounds like he dodged a
Speaker 5: bullet and he is expected to potentially be limited in
Speaker 5: practice on Wednesday. So great news there, especially when you
Speaker 5: consider Rico lost the entirety of twenty twenty one with
Speaker 5: the hip injury. That's what they were concerned about. Sounds
Speaker 5: like he's not gonna miss much time, if any time,
Speaker 5: But we'll see if he misses this forty nine Ers game.
Speaker 5: But it's not a long term injury. I'm told. Zach
Speaker 5: Martin suffered a quad injury against the Patriots. He was
Speaker 5: moving well in the locker room in the postgame. Mike
Speaker 5: McCarthy said that he's expected to be a limited participant
Speaker 5: on Wednesday as well. Obviously, Martin returned this past Sunday
Speaker 5: from the ankle injury that held him out in Arizona.
Speaker 5: Tyron Smith knee injury. Owner in general manager Jerry Jones
Speaker 5: said this morning on one oh five three of Him
Speaker 5: the Fan that Tyron is iffy for Sunday against the Cards.
Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy yesterday said that Tyron would start out in
Speaker 5: the rehab They'll see how he looks on Wednesday after that,
Speaker 5: and then they'll try to ramp him up to limited participation.
Speaker 5: We'll see how that goes. I know a lot of
Speaker 5: people want to know about Michael Parsons. He had his
Speaker 5: knee and ankle kind of banged up against the Patriots,
Speaker 5: but again, he was moving well as well, Mike McCarthy
Speaker 5: said specifically, there's no concern there, but there's a good
Speaker 5: likelihood that he will be limited on Wednesday as well.
Speaker 5: Wouldn't be surprised if Parsons and Martin r D and P.
Speaker 5: Something that Jerry said about Martin that kind of stuck
Speaker 5: out to me, which was, as the Cowboys start installing
Speaker 5: these veteran rest days, maybe Zach gets a veteran rest
Speaker 5: day on Wednesday, Maybe MIKEA gets the same. So that's
Speaker 5: the latest on the injury front. Not too bad, but
Speaker 5: we're kind of still in the wait and see pattern
Speaker 5: for a lot of these guys.
Speaker 8: Which seems to be the trend since the season started.
Speaker 8: We wait and see what happens. We wait on game day.
Speaker 7: Okay, we'll go ahead and switch subjects right now and
Speaker 7: talk about some of the opponents in the NFL and
Speaker 7: see what's going on.
Speaker 8: Last night.
Speaker 7: We know that the Giants played against the Seahawks and
Speaker 7: they lost that game.
Speaker 5: They played well, they were there, they were.
Speaker 7: There, they showed they physically showed up there and they
Speaker 7: were on the field, but they lost to the Seahawks
Speaker 7: twenty four three.
Speaker 8: Right now, which I always see on.
Speaker 7: The NFL puts it out there's there are only two
Speaker 7: teams that are currently undefeated, which are the forty nine
Speaker 7: Ers and the Eagles. So we know tomorrow will turn
Speaker 7: the page and start looking into the forty nine Ers
Speaker 7: and the whole matchup. But in the meantime, NFC East,
Speaker 7: what overview do you guys have currently in the first
Speaker 7: four weeks of the season as to what's happening with
Speaker 7: the Eagles and everybody else in the NFCS.
Speaker 2: You know what, I am really surprised that Ron Rivera
Speaker 2: has the nickname Riverboat Ron. He didn't go and he
Speaker 2: didn't go for it. He had he had a chance
Speaker 2: right there. His team fights back, they get a touchdown
Speaker 2: as the final gun is sounding. You know, Ron, you
Speaker 2: got to go for the two there. Your team has
Speaker 2: done everything to get back in that game. You don't
Speaker 2: need to hear about being tired on drives and things
Speaker 2: like that. You had a chance to go beat a
Speaker 2: team on the road leading the division, go get a
Speaker 2: two point conversion in that game. Right now. I always
Speaker 2: get on these coaches about knowing the condition of their teams,
Speaker 2: you know, and Ron saying, well, my team was gassed,
Speaker 2: they couldn't run. You know, you had momentum at that point,
Speaker 2: you know, and you had a chance, you were a
Speaker 2: road underdog in a division game. You know, find a
Speaker 2: way to in that thing right then and there. And
Speaker 2: that's the disappointing thing right now. I just because I
Speaker 2: thought for sure when they scored that touchdown that they
Speaker 2: were going to for two. Ron rivera Riverboat. Ron, He's
Speaker 2: going to go for it here and he sends the
Speaker 2: extra point team and I go, sir, you just lost
Speaker 2: the game right there, you know, and you and you
Speaker 2: wonder these coaches, it comes down to it at the
Speaker 2: end of the year, new ownership with the Commanders, I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: we lost too many games this year. Well, you're gonna
Speaker 2: probably look back at that and maybe that was the
Speaker 2: one game that was going to get you push you
Speaker 2: forward in the division. You know, you're gonna look back
Speaker 2: and Washington plays the Eagles great. Every year. They play
Speaker 2: them great. They don't always win, but they play them great.
Speaker 2: That was a missed opportunity for the Commanders to put
Speaker 2: themselves back into the conversation with what's going on in
Speaker 2: the NFC East.
Speaker 5: I agree. I mean, all things considered, you you've got
Speaker 5: to go for two after that. I mean they you know,
Speaker 5: you talk about the what would have been the game
Speaker 5: whining drive that ended with the aj Brown touchdown reception
Speaker 5: from from Jalen Hurts, which was you talk about river Boat. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you know that was the Philadelphia Eagles saying, you know what,
Speaker 5: we're not playing for a field goal, We're playing to
Speaker 5: end this game. And then you see Sam Howe and
Speaker 5: you know the off they march down the field, you
Speaker 5: get that touchdown, and you're sitting there and if for
Speaker 5: if you're the Washington Commanders and the sideline, you're sitting
Speaker 5: there like, you know, even if this ends badly, we
Speaker 5: feel good about this, and if we're gonna go down,
Speaker 5: we're gonna go down swing exactly. But they didn't go
Speaker 5: down swinging. He goes for the extra point, gets it.
Speaker 5: But now you're taking the risk in overtime because you
Speaker 5: just saw that your defense was having a hard time
Speaker 5: on that final offensive drive, people stopping them, So this
Speaker 5: is what you're hoping for. So yeah, I didn't like
Speaker 5: that at all. I mean, it was a massively missed
Speaker 5: opportunity for Rivera and the Washington Commanders. And then when
Speaker 5: you talk about the New York Giants, I mean, there's
Speaker 5: still a lot of football to be played. But I mean,
Speaker 5: I think all of us believe that the Giants would
Speaker 5: be more competitive through the first quarter of the season
Speaker 5: than what we've seen forty to zero. I'll take that
Speaker 5: all day for the Cowboys versus Giants, But he don't
Speaker 5: anticipate that they'll go in on their own field against
Speaker 5: the Seahawks, which are a competitive team. Nothing taking away
Speaker 5: from the Seahawks. I think they can make some waves
Speaker 5: as a Tier two team in the NFC. But twenty
Speaker 5: four to three, eleven sex three turnovers by your quarterback.
Speaker 5: You know, the decision that the ninety seven, ninety eight
Speaker 5: yard picked six. I mean, you can't make those throws.
Speaker 5: You can't make those decisions. So and then you see
Speaker 5: Brian Dable on the sideline getting ignored by Daniel Jones
Speaker 5: and then ultimately throwing his iPad into the bench. I mean,
Speaker 5: they got a lot of trouble in New York. So
Speaker 5: when it comes to the NFC East, I mean, we
Speaker 5: knew it would be the Eagles and the Cowboys vying
Speaker 5: for that top spot, but you thought you'd see more
Speaker 5: better decision making from the commanders and just more competitiveness,
Speaker 5: competitiveness from the Giants in journal and you've just not
Speaker 5: see it.
Speaker 2: Their offensive line is bad. We saw that firsthand and
Speaker 2: we love it. How bad. And they had a lot
Speaker 2: of injuries happen throughout and that's what happened. You fall apart.
Speaker 2: But it's also the dangers of paying your quarterback too.
Speaker 2: You know, now you're in a situation where probably with
Speaker 2: the Giants, you know, there's questions that plane paying that quarterback.
Speaker 8: Sometimes it's hard to get out of that whole.
Speaker 9: Absolutely well, the Giants, it's not for lack of trying.
Speaker 9: Like they've spent some draft cap on that offensive line
Speaker 9: and it just hadn't gotten better. So I don't know
Speaker 9: if they're gonna how they're gonna fix that. Like that's
Speaker 9: part of the problem is you've already spent in the capitol.
Speaker 9: Those guys aren't playing up to par, and you spent
Speaker 9: the money on the quarterback and maybe he's not playing
Speaker 9: up to par. So that seems like a really tough
Speaker 9: mountain to.
Speaker 5: Climb, and you don't know what's gonna happen in you know,
Speaker 5: a year from now with Saquon Barkley, which is the
Speaker 5: center point of your offense. Good luck.
Speaker 9: All right, we're gonna take our first break and we
Speaker 9: come back. I have a game for you guys. We're
Speaker 9: gonna play a little first quarter recap where the first
Speaker 9: quarter point of the season, the first quarter is done,
Speaker 9: and I have some questions for you guys to help
Speaker 9: wrap that thing up. We'll do when we come back.

Speaker 9: all right, real quick, good luck to our Rangers tonight.
Speaker 9: I just want to give all a love Brian on
Speaker 9: his Rangers show. I thought you were gonna say some
Speaker 9: megative things down hometown baseball team. Yeah, look in the
Speaker 9: in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Thank you appreciate that. I thought you were gonna get
Speaker 2: on me. I've been in a fight the last twenty
Speaker 2: four hours with people from Houston, so I thought you
Speaker 2: were gonna come in here and give me some of this.
Speaker 8: No man's guy anymore.
Speaker 2: No, I'm definitely he's the Houston guy. No, he'll break.
Speaker 9: It only shows up. It only shows up in basketball season.
Speaker 9: Like I'm more of a Rockets fan.
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, now I will.
Speaker 9: I will say when I was a kid, that was
Speaker 9: the bit I love the Astros. I was a huge
Speaker 9: Astros fan when I was a kid, and good team
Speaker 9: Sarsadanio and Jose Cruz and Mike's got all those guys
Speaker 9: like I love the Astros when I was a kid.
Speaker 9: But I haven't really kept up with it like that
Speaker 9: since I've been an adult. But good luck to the Ranger.
Speaker 2: See what they do here. There's a lot of great
Speaker 2: cross promotion stuff. I think these teams in the DFW
Speaker 2: really look out for each other and they're they're they're stars.
Speaker 2: They they cross paths. So you see, you know, the
Speaker 2: MAVs the Ranger starts. But yeah, thank you for that.
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. Yeah, it should be some fun, all right.
Speaker 9: So here's we're gonna do. We got our first quarter recap.
Speaker 9: We have finished the first four games of the season,
Speaker 9: and so I've got some questions for you guys that
Speaker 9: will hopefully make you think a little bit and make
Speaker 9: you give some some good analytical answers to these questions.
Speaker 9: Let's start first, what you think was the most impressive victory?
Speaker 9: You got at New York forty to nothing, you got
Speaker 9: versus New York Jets thirty to ten, and you've got
Speaker 9: versus New England thirty eight to three. What was most impressive?
Speaker 5: Oh, it's it's a close one between Week four and
Speaker 5: week one. Given what we just saw with the Giants,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with thirty eighty three against Bill Belichick.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go I mean, I was I was competition.
Speaker 5: If the Giants had played well last night, and I
Speaker 5: mean it was on their field the season opener, both
Speaker 5: teams coming in with a bunch of hype and purple hype,
Speaker 5: you know, pumping circumstance. Then you could say that, but yeah,
Speaker 5: like that, Yeah they laid the they lay the egg yesterday,
Speaker 5: and it's just like that's gross. But anytime you go
Speaker 5: against a Bill Belichick led team, you just anticipate you're
Speaker 5: going to be in a dogfighting. That's what the Cowboys
Speaker 5: are typically in. When they played Belichick. You talk about
Speaker 5: what happened back in New England with you know, it
Speaker 5: took overtime and the game winning drive and throw that
Speaker 5: ended up with Dak Prescott with the calf strain and
Speaker 5: ceedee lamb and the wave goodbye. And that's the kind
Speaker 5: of dramatics you typically feel like it'll take to get
Speaker 5: over Bill Belichick. But to hand him the worst loss
Speaker 5: of his NFL career, for me, that is by far
Speaker 5: the most impressive one so far the season. So keep
Speaker 5: that going.
Speaker 2: Yeah, rubber stamp that everything he just said. I mean,
Speaker 2: I didn't think they were going to block him all
Speaker 2: that great. I didn't think they were gonna be able
Speaker 2: to score a lot of points. They turned their guy over.
Speaker 2: They really embarrassed the New England Patriots. They beat him
Speaker 2: up physically too, you know. So yeah that by far,
Speaker 2: anytime you beat the guy who's that might take him.
Speaker 2: He's got eighteen more wins before he passes Don Shula.
Speaker 2: It might take him eighteen years to get there, you know,
Speaker 2: but eventually, eventually he's to Eventually he is going to
Speaker 2: be the all time winning his coach in NFL history,
Speaker 2: we think. But yeah, you take that guy to the
Speaker 2: mat the way they did, in the fashion they did
Speaker 2: is even more impressive.
Speaker 7: Agree, and especially after an embarrassing loss the week prior
Speaker 7: against the Cardinals.
Speaker 8: I think.
Speaker 7: Different aspects of the game just look good. You have
Speaker 7: special teams, everything that they did as opposed to I mean,
Speaker 7: he's only missed one kg one extra point and that
Speaker 7: was the first week, so okay. Now in this one,
Speaker 7: it was completely clean. I wish we would have seen
Speaker 7: the sixty six yard that would.
Speaker 9: Have been fun.
Speaker 8: But different areas of the game.
Speaker 7: Everything that defense did with the running game, the run defense,
Speaker 7: and also the offense that we were able to see
Speaker 7: more out of this week from as opposed to the
Speaker 7: first two weeks. So yeah, I think all in all,
Speaker 7: in general, everything that they did was a lot more
Speaker 7: productive in a way than what we saw in prior weeks.
Speaker 9: Okay, question number two, who has been the better offensive
Speaker 9: player between these three? CD, Lamb, Tony Pollard or Tyler Smith.
Speaker 5: M Smith.
Speaker 9: One of those three, which you think has been the
Speaker 9: better offensive player Pollard.
Speaker 5: I'm going to take Tyler out of it simply because
Speaker 5: he missed the first couple of games, but he's so good.
Speaker 5: I know, he's been so damn good. But availability matters.
Speaker 5: So for me, it's between Pollard and CD, and I
Speaker 5: just think Pollard has been the more consistent of the two.
Speaker 5: I think CD is playing at a high level. Obviously,
Speaker 5: saw what he did against the Jets and kind of
Speaker 5: a downturn against the card News solid game against the Patriots,
Speaker 5: But if you look at the first four games with
Speaker 5: the Cowboys, I mean, Tony Pollard has really been that
Speaker 5: steady hand. You know, he's near the top of the
Speaker 5: league as far as touches and you know efficiency when
Speaker 5: he touches the ball. So for me, I'm going to
Speaker 5: go with Tony Poller's Pollard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and to your point. What Patrick's talking is absolutely right.
Speaker 2: If Smith had played all the games, you would probably
Speaker 2: throw him in that mix. I love what you did
Speaker 2: by adding him. I think it made everybody pause. That's
Speaker 2: the whole idea right there with that. But the thing
Speaker 2: with Paulish, you could even watch him. You can even
Speaker 2: watch him with some of the blitz pick up stuff,
Speaker 2: like he crossed the pocket the other day. They had
Speaker 2: a pass that got out and he crosses the pocket.
Speaker 2: They got a blitz coming off his right side and
Speaker 2: he sees it and gets over. Usually when you cross
Speaker 2: the pocket in front of the quarterback, there's problems. He
Speaker 2: did it with he was clean, it was right in
Speaker 2: good position. He finishes, they're throwing the ball, he's running
Speaker 2: the ball there, he's pass block and he's really a
Speaker 2: complete back for you.
Speaker 7: Even in this last game, him running up the middle
Speaker 7: and just finding those little holes and getting up there.
Speaker 7: And I think it's more impressive just given the unknown
Speaker 7: that we initially had coming into the season, him coming
Speaker 7: off the injury, wondering if he will be able to
Speaker 7: play that way after recovering, because we've seen it with
Speaker 7: different players, even Michael Galla last year. You know that
Speaker 7: takes some time, and I think he's been effective right
Speaker 7: off the bat, and he's done a really nice job
Speaker 7: for now taking the role that he has.
Speaker 2: The Cowboys have got to make some hay while he's
Speaker 2: still healthy the next you know, the first twelve weeks
Speaker 2: of the season, those last five weeks of the season
Speaker 2: are going to be tough on him and they're going
Speaker 2: to have to figure out, especially at this rate. Yeah,
Speaker 2: how to navigate that part? Right now? I can say
Speaker 2: I think running backs are good for about twelve weeks
Speaker 2: and then you better figure out the next five.
Speaker 9: All right, Let's move on to the defensive side of
Speaker 9: the ball. Who has been the better defensive player not
Speaker 9: named Michael Parsons. I'll give you a few, a few names.
Speaker 9: DeMarcus Lawrence, Deron bland olso odiggy Zooo. Feel free to
Speaker 9: throw in another name if you choose, but it cannot
Speaker 9: be Michael Parsons. Michael Parsons because we know Michael Parsons
Speaker 9: has been the best player on this team through the
Speaker 9: first four games of the season.
Speaker 5: DeMarcus Lawrence the most consistent of the ones you've named,
Speaker 5: and I could also throw Osa in there as consistency
Speaker 5: as well. But when you look at Deron Bland and
Speaker 5: you know he had kind of an off game in
Speaker 5: his first game at boundary outside of Diggs when in
Speaker 5: Arizona had a magnificent game against the Patriots. But over
Speaker 5: the totality of the first quarter, I mean DeMarcus Lawrence,
Speaker 5: He's getting pressures as a pass rusher, he's moving around,
Speaker 5: he's on the left side, he's on the right side,
Speaker 5: impacting the run defense. Still one of the best run
Speaker 5: run defenders at age in the entire NFL. Still operating
Speaker 5: on a Pro Bowl level. So all very worthy names there,
Speaker 5: especially O side. Do love me some double O nine
Speaker 5: to seven, but I'm going with Tank on this one.
Speaker 7: Great names, I would say, Okay, there has been some inconsistency,
Speaker 7: especially after Trevon Dick's left and what happened in Arizona
Speaker 7: with the defense and the secondary. There has been inconsistency
Speaker 7: with the rum Bland, But all in all, I think
Speaker 7: he's done such a good job. He's taking a jump
Speaker 7: from even last year, which last year he was thrown
Speaker 7: in there right off the bat and he was able
Speaker 7: to pick it up right away. And I was talking
Speaker 7: to you, Derek during the game, not that I had
Speaker 7: a pre judgment, but I kind of did, and we
Speaker 7: all do. But the first time I met him, uh,
Speaker 7: this is before he ever played anything for us, first
Speaker 7: time I met him media day, I saw him, he
Speaker 7: was such a base like baby face, so nice, soft voice,
Speaker 7: super shy and this is and I know we're not
Speaker 7: supposed to judge. Nobody don't judge a book plates covered,
Speaker 7: but we're humans and we automatically do it.
Speaker 8: Uh. And I was just like in my head kind
Speaker 8: of like, Okay, what is this, Like, I don't you know.
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 8: Really?
Speaker 7: That's mean I know it, Brian, but judge it. Yes, yes,
Speaker 7: But but I did it. And he was amazing right
Speaker 7: off the even even at practice. So again, it's one
Speaker 7: of those that I in a way feel so proud
Speaker 7: of him and for everything that he's been able to
Speaker 7: accomplish and just the kind of man he turns into
Speaker 7: when he's steps on the field and what he does
Speaker 7: he and not just like defending, but it's like getting
Speaker 7: your hands on the ball and ball awareness ball hawk,
Speaker 7: I think is the term that people use. And him
Speaker 7: being able to be so focused and aware or everything
Speaker 7: that happens on the field. I think he's done an
Speaker 7: excellent job.
Speaker 2: His toughness is going to help you this week and
Speaker 2: against San Francisco, these these receivers, no joke, Yeah, there's
Speaker 2: no joke. You better be you know. And and and
Speaker 2: to be honest with you too about him, it's a
Speaker 2: home game for him being from in that Fresno area,
Speaker 2: California area, So yeah, it's gonna be but it's Osa.
Speaker 2: Osa is the one. Osa has come in through training
Speaker 2: camp and and and carried it over to what the
Speaker 2: regular season been. He's been absolutely on the screws when
Speaker 2: it comes to being consistent with his pass rush, the
Speaker 2: disruptive snaps we've seen him in the running game, how
Speaker 2: quick he's playing, how he's playing with power. He is
Speaker 2: just one of these guys that when you see him
Speaker 2: on the field and there's you usually if there's a
Speaker 2: negative play, ninety seven is usually involved in the play.
Speaker 2: And you know, I love what Tank's been able to do.
Speaker 2: I kind of feel like Tank. It looks at you know,
Speaker 2: everybody talks about what Parsons does, and there was one
Speaker 2: time where Tank was Parsons, and I mean that in
Speaker 2: a way of your primary pass rush and all that.
Speaker 2: So with Parsons doing what he does. It's kind of
Speaker 2: allowed Tank to kind of step back and then show
Speaker 2: you like, Okay, well, listen, young fella can really rush
Speaker 2: the passer. Watch me play run defense. Watch me, you know,
Speaker 2: rush the passer. Watch me be a complete player. But
Speaker 2: I think that three technique spots really been solidified by
Speaker 2: how well Os has been playing.
Speaker 9: Question number four, bigger surprise Brandon Aubrey or Chuma Edoga.
Speaker 2: A doga for me because I didn't see anything at
Speaker 2: training camp that was that led me to believe that
Speaker 2: he was going to be more than just an okay tackle.
Speaker 2: And he's shown he's He was a bad ride tackle
Speaker 2: in practice a matter of fact, and it wasn't just
Speaker 2: Michael Parsons and guys like that. They were rushing to
Speaker 2: anybody that was at right or left defensive end, and
Speaker 2: training camp was having some success. I had my complete
Speaker 2: doubts about him. It's the second offensive lineman that I've
Speaker 2: had doubts about second tackle when you look at Steel
Speaker 2: as well. But Adoga has come in here and I'll
Speaker 2: tell you what they passed twist stunts. He's been good
Speaker 2: on his base this run block and has been good man.
Speaker 2: I was really worried in this game because I felt
Speaker 2: like that that New England had some legitimate edge rushers,
Speaker 2: and he held up just fine.
Speaker 5: Brandon Aubrey, I do. I agree that Chummidoga has been
Speaker 5: a pleasant surprise. He was a pleasant surprise at guard,
Speaker 5: even more so at left tackle because we had some
Speaker 5: concerns about him at left tackle. But when you talk
Speaker 5: about Brandon Aubrey, he walks into a situation where in
Speaker 5: the Cowboys they part ways with Brett Maher and once
Speaker 5: again they're back at square one at the kicker position.
Speaker 5: So they make these moves. You trade for Cooks on
Speaker 5: the offensive side, you trade for Gilmore on the defensive side,
Speaker 5: and everybody's like, oh, everything's looking great except for kicker.
Speaker 5: So then we're in training camping. We're dodging footballs, right,
Speaker 5: and then we see we see the blue blue white
Speaker 5: practice and it's vis Gayano and all we both basically
Speaker 5: just looking very very abysmal. And then if fitz Gayano
Speaker 5: gets released, Arby starts trending upward through the preseason and
Speaker 5: then we're like, okay, regular season, here we go. He
Speaker 5: misses the first extra point. Oh, here we go again.
Speaker 5: He hasn't missed a single thing since, not a single
Speaker 5: kickoffs including kickoffs, ninety six point six percent touchback rate,
Speaker 5: thirteen for thirteen field goals, and in at thirteen for thirteen,
Speaker 5: you have one that's over fifty yards. We almost got
Speaker 5: to see if he could make a sixty six yarder. So,
Speaker 5: I mean, he's shattered the Dan Bailey record for and
Speaker 5: just a franchise record for most consecutive kicks made to
Speaker 5: start an NFL career. And just I mean that rookie
Speaker 5: is really really taken off. I mean, he took my
Speaker 5: confidence meter from one percent to ninety and I'm still
Speaker 5: I'm not I'm not even at ninety one yet because
Speaker 5: I feel like I'm firm at ninety.
Speaker 2: Ninety percent that I was kind of arguing with you,
Speaker 2: Oh you were ninety percent.
Speaker 5: I don't remember what I think it was after week two?
Speaker 9: Yeah, what it was, No, it was just if it
Speaker 9: was about the kicker appreciate.
Speaker 2: I appreciate your confidence meter about absolutely.
Speaker 5: So I think we might be at like ninety point
Speaker 5: five right now, because once you get the ninety, you know,
Speaker 5: it's difficult to get the rest of it. He can't
Speaker 5: get one hundred percent until after the postseason right now,
Speaker 5: right yeah, listen, I'm PTSD from my hurt. I need
Speaker 5: to see it in the postseason as well, so he
Speaker 5: can't get one hundred percent confidence for me until he
Speaker 5: doesn't have the most season. But Brandon Aubury, that's that's
Speaker 5: my surprise.
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, they're both good options. But for me, I
Speaker 7: would have to say Chuma just because there's a lot
Speaker 7: to say when and a lot of credit to be
Speaker 7: given to someone that can consistently keep getting up and
Speaker 7: fighting back and putting in that work. Sometimes it gets
Speaker 7: to you and you know, constantly getting beat down, and
Speaker 7: that happened a lot of training camp, and he's put
Speaker 7: in the work and shows. But more so than Tuma,
Speaker 7: I wouldn't say I would mention the whole O line
Speaker 7: and all the backups right now because I truly because
Speaker 7: I've seen it in the past. I have this memory
Speaker 7: of like, as soon as one guy two and now
Speaker 7: you're telling me three starters are out, we're done, And
Speaker 7: that was not the case. So credit to the coaching
Speaker 7: staff for making preparing these guys quote unquote the right way,
Speaker 7: because they're still we know they needed to be given
Speaker 7: extra practice to be even more prepared when it comes,
Speaker 7: and they haven't been perfect, but I think they've done
Speaker 7: a really nice job and really impressive to see Tchuma
Speaker 7: just keep going and keep grinding, grinding. That was sorry,
Speaker 7: my tongue twister.
Speaker 9: There question number five. Who would have the greater impact
Speaker 9: if they were either more involved or their play improved.
Speaker 9: Here are the options. Brandon Cooks, Hunter Lipke or Luke Scoon.
Speaker 5: Maker Brandon Cooks. We haven't seen Brandon Cooks unleashed in
Speaker 5: this offense yet, and I think that's a large I
Speaker 5: think once it happens, you're going to see just how
Speaker 5: prolific this offense can be. I mean, yeah, they're moving
Speaker 5: between the twenties exceptionally. Well. The issue primarily is the
Speaker 5: red zone, but that also goes to getting Cooks involved
Speaker 5: in that area as well. I just think that, you know,
Speaker 5: he came back from missing that one game and an injury,
Speaker 5: and he's still early in the process. Didn't play preseason obviously,
Speaker 5: most of the key starters didn't, and I just feel
Speaker 5: like once Cooks is truly unleashed, it's going to be
Speaker 5: hell on Earth for opposing defenses.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it is Cooks. Cooks is the one
Speaker 2: guy to me that I'm kind of waiting for him to.
Speaker 2: You know, when you study on the next gen stuff,
Speaker 2: you look at the routes and things like that. They
Speaker 2: got to find a way. There's some routes that he's
Speaker 2: running down the field and he has been open. I
Speaker 2: just you know, the ball to schoon Maker. I know
Speaker 2: that I have a lot of love for Schoonmaker because
Speaker 2: I've said it before, and you're right, Patrick, will you
Speaker 2: mentioned it yesterday. I think Michigan held him back. But
Speaker 2: he's got to make some plays for you. He's got
Speaker 2: to make the catches. I think he had a bad
Speaker 2: luck on the goal line when Bentley tipped the ball.
Speaker 2: I think that was going to be a potential catch
Speaker 2: for him and you know, kind of get back into
Speaker 2: good graces there. But get Cooks going in this offense
Speaker 2: and you'll have something really really unique.
Speaker 8: Well I said this the other day.
Speaker 7: Cooks is the one guy I've been freaking dying to
Speaker 7: see go at it go off this year since training camp.
Speaker 7: Everything I saw from him i training camp I freaking
Speaker 7: loved and I haven't seen it. So that's who I
Speaker 7: think would just make the offense be a lot more
Speaker 7: dynamic and just open up, open things up for you
Speaker 7: a lot more, just because now your deal defenses will
Speaker 7: have to deal with taking him into account, and it's
Speaker 7: just it will elevate your offense a whole new level.
Speaker 9: I'm actually really shocked at all three of you guys
Speaker 9: went with Cooks, because Patrick, you kind of alluded to it. Really,
Speaker 9: this team is not having a big roblem moving the balls,
Speaker 9: moving the ball from the twenty to twenty. They're having
Speaker 9: a problem in the red zone. And both of those
Speaker 9: two guys that neither one of you guys mentioned, Schoonmaker
Speaker 9: Letke can both possibly at their very best of what
Speaker 9: you think they can be, could maybe help you in
Speaker 9: the red zone. So I'm kind of shocked y'all didn't
Speaker 9: say that, just because that's the area where I think
Speaker 9: they need the most help. And so if you want
Speaker 9: to talk about greatest impact, I think they may provide
Speaker 9: the best impact for this team.
Speaker 2: Well, it's funny, but you say that because the pass
Speaker 2: that he tried to throw to the pass in the
Speaker 2: red zone, he tried to fit between the cover two
Speaker 2: to schoon Maker. If he throws the ball at the rights,
Speaker 2: a touchdown to Cook the Cooks, and there you go
Speaker 2: and it's just Dacks like, all right, it's cover two
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna trust my guy to get between those
Speaker 2: two safeties.
Speaker 9: And he threw the ball where absolutely.
Speaker 2: But if he says maybe next time, I'm gonna throw
Speaker 2: it Cooks, Cooks has found a way to get open.
Speaker 2: Cooks is due for one of those Michael Gallop games
Speaker 2: where it's six to seven and some pretty good yards behind.
Speaker 5: Now it's a good weekend to do it for the
Speaker 5: California kid.
Speaker 9: They're gonna need that this week. They need every bit
Speaker 9: of everything at this ticket.
Speaker 8: People stphone the game to another like down.
Speaker 4: The road, No, let's go.
Speaker 7: I need this offense to kind of love it find
Speaker 7: its way a little bare.
Speaker 5: I think this is where it gets found. Yeah, I
Speaker 5: think this week it gets found.
Speaker 9: Either it gets found or we find out that maybe
Speaker 9: this is going to be a problem.
Speaker 5: You're going to find out something because because you're gonna
Speaker 5: find out something.
Speaker 9: Because let's also be clear, and I don't want to
Speaker 9: get too far ahead, but this is the easier part
Speaker 9: of the Cowboys schedule. If you haven't looked at what
Speaker 9: the Cowboys schedule looks like post Thanksgiving, it is a
Speaker 9: murderer's row. Every single week, you're gonna be playing playoff
Speaker 9: caliber teams, some super Bowl caliber teams, and so you
Speaker 9: better be making hay right now. And I think we're
Speaker 9: gonna find out this weekend a lot about this team.
Speaker 9: All we're gonna take our final break when we come back.
Speaker 9: I do have a couple more questions before we get
Speaker 9: to lap Coot. We'll do that also in the final second.

Speaker 9: Welcome back to the final segment of the Break, Laughing
Speaker 9: s WVC Mortgage Studios at the Star. I will tell
Speaker 9: you one thing I'm looking forward to seeing Amber. I'm
Speaker 9: looking at this video screen and they're show on highlights
Speaker 9: of this Pooka Nakoula in with the Rams. I'm looking
Speaker 9: forward to seeing him in person because what he's doing
Speaker 9: right now with the Rams is just outstanding for any receiver,
Speaker 9: but but for it to be a rookie receiver, it's
Speaker 9: just it's on ah.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 5: His also, that's a top five name in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Yeah. His His steal too is where you know you
Speaker 2: got a coach that understands how to use them. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because you know that that's that. I love what Sean
Speaker 2: McVay does with moving his guys around and trying to
Speaker 2: create mismatches, and he makes it really easy on your
Speaker 2: receivers to go get the football because he's running you
Speaker 2: open in a lot of those a lot of those snaps.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if Cooper Cup is
Speaker 9: back by that game as well. If you got to
Speaker 9: deal with Nakua and Cup, well, that's gonna be That's
Speaker 9: gonna be one of those days where it's.
Speaker 2: Going to be good. Is that day exactly? All right? Patrick?
Speaker 9: I want to get to lap Cooat. Make sure you
Speaker 9: got some time for that. We might come back to
Speaker 9: the questions that we still had left, but I want
Speaker 9: to get to lab Coat.
Speaker 5: So take it away, all right, lab Coat, beam and
Speaker 5: bring me in.
Speaker 4: Yes, science, let's.
Speaker 5: Go, let's do it. Okay, So this week's segment of
Speaker 5: lab Coat, we're going to focus on the numbers sixty
Speaker 5: seven and thirty seven. Now, when I went into looking
Speaker 5: into these two teams, the Cowboys and the forty nine Ers,
Speaker 5: I wanted to see if perception matched reality. Perception is
Speaker 5: that the forty nine Ers are far and away better
Speaker 5: than the Cowboys offense, and I don't know that that's
Speaker 5: necessarily the truth. Well, let's see what the numbers be're out.
Speaker 5: So I wanted to look at what defenses the forty
Speaker 5: nine ers have faced, what they average points per game,
Speaker 5: takeaways per game. And this is where Cowboys and forty
Speaker 5: nine Ers are nick and nick, because both of the
Speaker 5: teams that all of the teams they faced average exactly
Speaker 5: twenty five I'm sorry, twenty six points per game in
Speaker 5: less than one takeaway. So that's kind of a wash there.
Speaker 5: So then you say, okay, where where are the advantages
Speaker 5: for the Cowboys, if any, well then you start looking
Speaker 5: at QB to QB. Everybody's rolling with the brock Purty
Speaker 5: train rightfully. So he's undefeed. He's done will since he's
Speaker 5: come into the league, the injury notwithstanding in the Conference championship.
Speaker 5: But here are the numbers. Dak Prescott nine hundred and
Speaker 5: eight passing yards, Brock Party ten to nineteen not too
Speaker 5: far bit edge to Party. There four touchdowns for Dak
Speaker 5: Prescott to five touchdowns for Party. That's almost a watch,
Speaker 5: especially when you consider the schoolmaker drop. One interception for Dak,
Speaker 5: no interceptions for Brock Party. Let's say that's a watch
Speaker 5: for the most part. Dak was sacked six times through
Speaker 5: four games. Perty sacked seven times. That's kind of a
Speaker 5: wash too. Here's where it really gets interesting. Dak has
Speaker 5: not fumbled the ball once. Party has fumbled the ball
Speaker 5: four times. He's only lost it once. But he has
Speaker 5: trouble protecting that ball when he's under pressure and he's
Speaker 5: getting knocked around. So then where really is the advantage
Speaker 5: Other than those possible fumbles. The Cowboys can get its
Speaker 5: red zone, So thanks for that segue from last segment.
Speaker 5: Red zone red zone red zone forty nine ers are
Speaker 5: ranked seventh in the NFL. There are sixty seven percent
Speaker 5: with proficiency in the red zone. Cowboys are third worst
Speaker 5: at thirty seven percent. That's where the two magic numbers
Speaker 5: come in, sixty seven thirty seven. If the Cowboys can
Speaker 5: flip that or even improve upon their thirty seven percent
Speaker 5: in San Francisco, they have a fantastic chance of winning
Speaker 5: this game, especially with like I said, he'll put the
Speaker 5: ball on the ground if you knock him around a bit.
Speaker 5: Here's what's also promising though, Cowboys are forty four percent
Speaker 5: in the red zone on the road. Kind of weird
Speaker 5: that they're better on the road than at home, but
Speaker 5: guess where they are this weekend on the road. So
Speaker 5: Cowboys do a good bit better in the red zone
Speaker 5: when they're playing on away turf or waygrass. So I
Speaker 5: expect the Cowboys to improve in that capacity this week
Speaker 5: as well. And if that happens, then yeah, Cowboys have
Speaker 5: a fantastic chance of walking away with a message win
Speaker 5: against the San Francisco Forty nine or sixty seven thirty seven,
Speaker 5: those are the two numbers to watch.
Speaker 9: One thing I would be interested in knowing is what
Speaker 9: is the Cowboys' defense percentage efficiency percentage of opponents into
Speaker 9: That would tell me a lot about you know. We
Speaker 9: know obviously that they're hitting that sixty seven percent the
Speaker 9: forty nine Ers are. But where the Cowboys from the
Speaker 9: standpoint and stopping toy Now, the interesting part is doesn't
Speaker 9: say like the Cowboys let teams get in the red
Speaker 9: zone very much. These first four weeks. They're not even
Speaker 9: getting in.
Speaker 2: The red zone.
Speaker 9: It's either feast or family they got a big play
Speaker 9: or they don't get in the red zone. Right. But
Speaker 9: but I wouldn't be interested to see that. That might be
Speaker 9: something you want to kind of check out now that
Speaker 9: you got next gen stats.
Speaker 4: They let me easily.
Speaker 5: They let me also at one final thing, and I
Speaker 5: know Brian would love to tag on this end. You'll
Speaker 5: probably touch on this in the scutter pool. Also, when
Speaker 5: you look at the defenses that each offense has gone against,
Speaker 5: edge to the Cowboys. Cowboys have of the averaging two
Speaker 5: more takeaways per game than are the forty nine Ers defense,
Speaker 5: and the forty nine Ers defense is allowing almost five
Speaker 5: more points per game. So those edges go to the
Speaker 5: Cowboys as well.
Speaker 2: I was just looking at next genders. I love doing
Speaker 2: this stuff. Great one, the one that got my attention
Speaker 2: right off the jump is the forty nine Ers have
Speaker 2: generated the third highest pressure rate at forty two percent
Speaker 2: when sending only four pass rushers this season. They don't
Speaker 2: have to blitz. Yeah, and they don't let you throw
Speaker 2: the ball in the middle of the field, which Dallas
Speaker 2: really hasn't tried very much. So those are a couple
Speaker 2: of things.
Speaker 9: But we'll talk about I wonder how much Bosa accounts
Speaker 9: for that percentage, actually eighty percent.
Speaker 2: Actually, actually only Micah has generated one hundred and three
Speaker 2: pressures more. He's generated one hundred and three. Nick Bosa
Speaker 2: has ninety three over the last two seasons. So Mika
Speaker 2: is generating more pressures than Nick Bosa the last two seasons.
Speaker 9: There we go, all right, have they got some They
Speaker 9: got some good players on both sides, on both teams
Speaker 9: for this game. That's why it's going to be such
Speaker 9: a fun game to watch, all right. I do have
Speaker 9: a couple more questions. We'll see if we can get
Speaker 9: one or two here before we end the show. Which
Speaker 9: is more concerning problem for you. The red zone offense,
Speaker 9: the rush defense are the offensive line health?
Speaker 5: Red zone offense, the offensive line health. I think they've
Speaker 5: knock on wood. They've gotten through the worst of it
Speaker 5: for the most part. I don't knock on Wood.
Speaker 9: And the reason why I look like that is because
Speaker 9: going into the season, we all knew at the age
Speaker 9: that Tyrant is and you may even start to say
Speaker 9: the same thing about Zach as time goes on. But
Speaker 9: when you have older offensive linemen, you have to factor
Speaker 9: in health. And so that's what I'm saying, as you're
Speaker 9: going forward and you're projecting through the rest of the season,
Speaker 9: is that a concern.
Speaker 4: Shouldn't be a concern.
Speaker 5: I think it would be more of a concern, And
Speaker 5: it is a concern, so let me be clear on that.
Speaker 5: But I think will be more of a concern if
Speaker 5: we weren't rightfully having the conversation about Chuna Edoga being
Speaker 5: a pleasant surprise. Brock Hoffman in Arizona, you know, playing
Speaker 5: well for the most part, TJ Bass playing well for
Speaker 5: the most part. I would be more concerned if those
Speaker 5: younger guys and those backups weren't able to step in.
Speaker 5: But when you talk about in run defense, not as concerned.
Speaker 5: There is a concern when you see a game like
Speaker 5: Arizona where you're like, okay, consistency, it's just going to
Speaker 5: continue to be an issue. But three out of four
Speaker 5: games they've locked down the run game. So I'm not
Speaker 5: worried about that as much as I would be. Red
Speaker 5: zone offense until we see it, we haven't seen it.
Speaker 5: Red zone efficiency until we see it, we haven't seen it,
Speaker 5: And I'm of the mindset, I'll say it again, it's
Speaker 5: not necessarily the play calling as much as it is
Speaker 5: the lack of execution, the decision making down there in
Speaker 5: the red zone as far as players are concerned. If
Speaker 5: he go, if that goes to Cooks, that's a touchdown.
Speaker 5: When Schoolmaker gave him a dot, that was a fantastic pass,
Speaker 5: but Schoolmaker didn't bring that down, and then you go
Speaker 5: from there. So for me, I'm with Ambarro on this
Speaker 5: one because I know this is what she's thinking when
Speaker 5: it comes to red zone offense and efficiency. Until we've
Speaker 5: seen it, we haven't seen it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would agree and definitely agree because it's one
Speaker 7: of those it's getting to that point where, okay, this
Speaker 7: is just becoming ridiculous. Every time something weird happens, you're like,
Speaker 7: are you kidding me? Because you see it, We see
Speaker 7: it from a bird's eye view, and we see, okay,
Speaker 7: where the issues are happening, or we think so, and
Speaker 7: they're always so close, but it hasn't happened. So I
Speaker 7: would agree red zone just because that is a trend,
Speaker 7: that is something that has been reoccurring back to back.
Speaker 7: Last week we did see some improvement, but it's not
Speaker 7: fixed yet.
Speaker 2: Man, the biggest fear I ever have in a game
Speaker 2: is somebody running the football on me, and I just
Speaker 2: worry about somebody once again kind of figuring out how
Speaker 2: to unlock the Dallas front. I don't think that the Giants.
Speaker 2: The Giants initially tried, you know, the Jets never got
Speaker 2: to it, which was surprising. The Arizona Cardinals said, Okay,
Speaker 2: we've got a way that we don't have to take
Speaker 2: one on one. Will pin and pull you. We'll put
Speaker 2: guys in the backfield, will create mismatches in certain spots.
Speaker 2: I worry about forty nine ers being really creative with
Speaker 2: their running game because they will pin and pull. They
Speaker 2: will use use check, they will use Kittle, they will
Speaker 2: use Deebo Samuel. I just they I think that there's
Speaker 2: so many different ways that they get to the running game.
Speaker 2: It causes you to have issues. I think the red
Speaker 2: zone offense will be fine. I think there's some bad
Speaker 2: luck along the way. I think there's some execution. I
Speaker 2: think there's some actual decision making that's that's hampered the
Speaker 2: Cowboys when you watch them play. I think the red
Speaker 2: zone offense will be fine. The creative running team bothers
Speaker 2: me because they when you jack with the Cowboys eye
Speaker 2: level on defense and make them move and react, you
Speaker 2: can sometimes take advantage. And I think that's what this
Speaker 2: bunch has the capability of doing.
Speaker 5: I'm with you, Brian. Here we go.
Speaker 9: Final question. Order these teams in the second quarter of
Speaker 9: the season. From most challenging to least. You're at San Francisco,
Speaker 9: who's four and oh you're at the Chargers or two
Speaker 9: and o two and two you're at the Ram I'm sorry,
Speaker 9: the Rams are here two and two. And then you're
Speaker 9: at Philadelphia four and oh. Ranked them form most challenging
Speaker 9: to least challenging.
Speaker 2: Forty nine Ers Eagles. Uh? Who else? Did you have?
Speaker 9: Their?
Speaker 2: Other?
Speaker 9: Chargers?
Speaker 2: Chargers Ramps? That's what I would go, okay.
Speaker 5: For most to least forty nine Ers, Eagles, Yeah, Chargers, Rams.
Speaker 5: I'm right there with you.
Speaker 9: Same no, no, no, no. Nobody wants to put Philly ahead.
Speaker 8: Of of Philly. Doesn't make my hands sweat okay right now, I.
Speaker 5: Mean mathematically, the Philly game is slightly more important because
Speaker 5: it's a division game and if you win the the
Speaker 5: point I was getting too like, there's also when you're
Speaker 5: playing division teams, there's an they know you, yeah and
Speaker 5: so and so you're not you see a lot of
Speaker 5: things happen.
Speaker 9: That's why Washington plays Philly the way they play fish, right,
Speaker 9: So does that does that any mean change?
Speaker 2: I think Dallas has a good handle on how to play.
Speaker 2: I really assume that. And I think Philly has a
Speaker 2: little bit of the factor on defense that they're scared
Speaker 2: because there's secondary isn't really playing well right now, and
Speaker 2: if Dallas can protect and dack the way he's throwing
Speaker 2: the ball, then there's gonna be some problems there for Philly. Uh.
Speaker 2: San Francisco I call him the bully. Yeah, this is
Speaker 2: a bully team. They don't they don't care. They win
Speaker 2: a lot of games, they win ugly games, they win
Speaker 2: physical games, and they've knocked you out of the playoffs
Speaker 2: the last two years. I think there is some If
Speaker 2: Dallas goes and finds a way to win this game,
Speaker 2: then at the end of the year, if these two
Speaker 2: teams meet, we don't sit there and talk about dominance
Speaker 2: of San Francisco. It reminds me so much of the
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen when the Cowboys went to Seattle and they
Speaker 2: beat up on Seattle up there. They ran the ball
Speaker 2: with DeMarco Murray. They just pounded. And if Dallas would
Speaker 2: have just got past that Green Bay game, which they
Speaker 2: probably should have or and very well could have if
Speaker 2: they had to go play a Champion Chip game at Seattle,
Speaker 2: I think they were going to go beat Seattle that
Speaker 2: day just because of how well they played. In Seattle's mind,
Speaker 2: they were probably glad they didn't have to play the
Speaker 2: Cowboys again. And I think San Francisco you need to
Speaker 2: have that same kind of thought. Find a way to
Speaker 2: win this game, find a way to create a little doubt,
Speaker 2: get people off your back at the end of the
Speaker 2: year if you have to play them again that you
Speaker 2: know it's well, Hey, these two teams matched up a
Speaker 2: great Dallas victory. You know the positivity that way. You
Speaker 2: lose this football game and you lose it bad. Now
Speaker 2: that the doubt even is deeper in your son.
Speaker 8: Well, is that whole build up?
Speaker 7: Yeah, two years in a row they get beat last year.
Speaker 7: I mean Cowboys were able to backup quarterback or not
Speaker 7: they were able to beat Philly. So it's just a
Speaker 7: factor of two years in a row.
Speaker 2: They Every season, you have a win you probably shouldn't
Speaker 2: have gotten and you have a loss you shouldn't have had.
Speaker 2: I think Dallas just had their loss they shouldn't have
Speaker 2: had with Arizona. This could very well be the win
Speaker 2: that they probably didn't think they were going to get
Speaker 2: when you started going when loss when when you're starting
Speaker 2: to do that and you're breaking down the schedule.
Speaker 5: For me, bottom line is Philadelphia isn't the boogieman for
Speaker 5: the Cowboys and forty nine ers? All right? Are the
Speaker 5: boogeyman right now? All right, that's a wrap. We'll be
Speaker 5: back tomorrow.
Speaker 9: We'll start getting into Cowboys versus forty nine ers. Tomorrow
Speaker 9: we'll get into the Cowboys offense versus at top forty
Speaker 9: nine ers defense. We'll be back till tomorrow for Patrick Walker,
Speaker 9: Brian brought Us Ambergarcim Derek Eilton. This has been the
