Welcome to the latest edition of 0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:47.839 The Break. We are a live from the s WBC 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:51.040 Mortgage studios at the Star and it is our job 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.240 day to get you ready for Cowboys Versus Eagles, a 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:55.440 day we're going to focus in on the Eagles defense 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:58.640 versus the Cowboys offense. We get some updates here at 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:01.200 the beginning of the show. Patrick, let's start there first. 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.360 Yesterday I was out, but I did see the news 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:08.000 that won Mike McCarthy had a little medical issue that 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:09.720 was going on. What do we know at this point 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:11.280 about him in his availability. 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.200 Yeah, a little bit of a medical scare happened in 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.679 real time while while we were doing the show yesterday. 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.840 But Mike showed up to the facility yesterday to try 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.840 to go through his normal rigamarou and he didn't feel well, 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:23.840 had some abdominal pain. He was gonna try to tough 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:27.679 through it, but you know, his Knights of the Roundtable, 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:30.039 Dad and his coordinators, they looked at him and said, 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.920 you don't look well, go get it checked out. And 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.520 so he did, thankfully. But it was found out that 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.040 he had a cute Appendicidi's so good that he caught 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.440 that early because I don't wanted to burst right because 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.560 it could be life threatening if at birst. So he 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.760 underwent surgery yesterday and I'm told that he is released 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.400 and he is recovering now when the expectation remains that 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.840 he will be available to coach against the Eagles. I 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.360 spoke with Bones Fossil yesterday in the locker room just 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:55.800 to kind of get a sense of if the Cowboys 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:57.960 know if Mike is going to be up in the 0:01:57.960 --> 0:01:59.520 box orf he's going to be on the sideline, and 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:04.480 Fossil doesn't know quite yet, but my speculation, pure speculation. 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:06.600 My speculation is that Mike is going to be on 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:09.480 the sideline. I think Mike wants to give that energy 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.240 to his team and show them that he's there for 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.120 them and do everything possible. So as long as there's 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.160 no setback, knock on Wood, because it is a medical situation, 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.360 the expectation is he'll be on the field or at 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.160 least in some capacity present so that he can coach 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:24.800 against the Eagles. 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:27.079 You know, that's the one where I was. I hear 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:30.360 you say he'd be on the sideline. I don't even 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.079 know if that is that possible, because when you've got 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.320 some done before on the sideline though, like that's a 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.359 different thing, like when you get cut. I don't know 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.000 if you've ever had surgery. I've had surgery on my 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.520 stomach before. And for like the next couple of weeks, 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.000 I was kind of walking really slow and kind of 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.920 hunched over a bit to be on a sideline and 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:52.600 standing for contact three hours and risking the fact that 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:54.960 some play runs toward you and now you got to 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:58.000 move quickly. I don't know if that's even possible right now. 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.960 This is a doctor's decision is going to be, you know, 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.000 And yeah, Mike will probably try and tough it out 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.320 and all that I was told about. Dan Campbell came 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.200 one time to training camp with appendicitis and then he 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.160 practiced like a week later, so he was like, you know, 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.040 you feel better along the way, but this is totally 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:17.320 a coach's decision. I was laughing because it reminded me 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.040 of everybody talking yesterday. It was like when back in 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.080 the day. This reminded me of Dick Cheney at the 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.200 White House when they president was out. Vice President was, 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:30.280 I mean, everything's cool. I'm here, you know, I'm like, 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:33.760 everybody fire behind you, everybody's talking like the White House, 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:37.600 you know, word coach hands, everybody's good, Country's on him. 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.200 Country's gonna be fine, you know. And I just it 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.600 just reminded me of that. But it's almost as big 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:46.160 as the White House, this place. But yeah, we'll see. 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:50.040 We'll see if if, if the doctors allow him, Mike, 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.160 Mike will try and fight through it. Yeah, I'm sure 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.839 it would, and but yeah, it's going to be their call. 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:59.520 It's interesting because I did read yesterday North Turner. I 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.120 suppose he had one years ago. He had some similar 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.920 situation happened on Friday, and he coached the game on Sunday. 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:06.520 What I didn't hear was whether he was in the 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.960 booth or on the sideline, which to me is it. 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.160 That's a huge difference. But you know, and you know 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.360 I talked about that yesterday Ambro. I just, man, that 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.880 seems that seems like a big stretch to be on 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:16.480 a sideline. 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.159 A few days later, Let's look at the positive. 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.960 Just make sure Cable is standing next to him, ensure 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:22.760 no content. 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.120 Cable will make sure. And by the way, Cable is 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.080 what is it his actual title, He's. 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.719 Like the head of security or he's always say this 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:37.719 version of basically Ryan calls him the Viking because he 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.680 looks like is big and strong and. 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:42.200 He looks right off the boat. 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.880 Yeah, that'll make sure nobody gets to Mike. If Mike 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.240 he looking right in front of no. 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.720 But I started the more I thought about it, I'm like, 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.560 if he is, let's say where he does have to 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:57.560 be on the booth in a booth maybe and just 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:01.279 maybe this helps just going to see the different the 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:05.040 game in a different perspective. And against Seattle, we were 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:09.440 questioning some of those calls that happen later in the game, 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.360 and some of those decisions. Maybe you by him being 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:16.440 in a separate environment, you you think differently. And I'm 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.480 thinking this game is going to be a very close one. 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.560 I don't see either team just completely blowing out the 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:23.840 other one. So I think it's very it's going to 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.520 be a close one, and most likely than not they 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:30.359 might be they might end up in a situation where 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:35.640 those decisions will be will play a huge role in 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:39.480 this game, in the outcome. So I'm just saying, maybe 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:43.680 maybe it's all meant to happen for his health and 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.840 for the health of the team and what happens this weekend. 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.239 But I do think that even being on the booth, 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:53.360 I see positive sides to it rather than negative. 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.599 Yeah, I mean there's pros and cons to it. Obviously 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.479 there's a reason DQ is up in the booth, gives 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.800 him the birds. I view real life all twenty two 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.120 as it's happening, So I mean, obviously that would to 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.240 Amborun's point, he would give a different perspective for Mike 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.200 as far as play calling, which is a huge benefit. 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.520 The negative there would be that you don't have the 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.320 immediate feedback and collaboration that you would have on the 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.560 sideline with Dak Prescott and some of the receivers. So 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:18.400 it's a little bit of a trade off. But I 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.680 just want Mike to do whatever is best for his 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:24.120 health and that's the bottom line. And ultimately it does 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.919 sound like he will be available to coach at the game. 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.800 What his location is between him and the doctors, but 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:31.200 I'm sure they'll get it figured out. 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.400 That's an interesting thought because I never have really noticed 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.280 during games. I don't know if you guys have. I've 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.560 seen some head coaches who call plays, going back and 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.919 talking to their play their players while they're on the sideline. 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.239 I've never really noticed that. With Mike. It always seems 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:49.320 to me like he's up that the front, still watch, 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.760 still engage with the game. Have you guys seen that much? 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.799 I think Scott Tolzine is the one guy. It's funny 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:58.800 because Brian Schottenheimer stands at one end of the bench 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.839 and it's like he stands opposite of where Mike is. Okay, 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:07.039 and then you've got Linda Wells and that he's responsible 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:10.720 for getting personnel in and out of the game. Londaz Yeah, 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.760 and so you'll see, so Mike is standing right there 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:19.800 with him, But I usually see Scott Tolzine is the 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:23.120 one that sits down with Dak and Cooper Rush when 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.520 it comes to any type of work that need to 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.680 go through and sequencing on their pads or things like that. 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.920 Yeah, so, I mean, it'll be interesting if he's not 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.120 one that typically spends a whole lot of time with 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.680 players on the sideline. Maybe that's not an effect that 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.440 you feel if he's in the press box as you 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:44.920 do other times, taking. 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.160 In assets because of the games. Is that what we're doing. 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:51.200 That's that's thanks to my good old trustee, next Gen 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:55.600 Stat's website I'm looking at anyway. Yeah, so, I mean, 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.720 I don't know. I mean, I'm interested to see number one. 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.120 Where is he and then what's difference? Is there really 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.880 a difference based on what he typically does in a game? 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.040 Is there really a difference? What I do know is 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:09.160 this offense is really really playing at a high level 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.560 right now. I really don't want anything, right, I don't 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.680 want anything, Thames. But obviously this week, due to these circumstances, 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.080 something's going to probably be a little bit different, and 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.400 hopefully Michael just be in a good headspace to be 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.280 able to do what he normally does coming off with surgery, 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.720 and he'll be, as you said, his medical situation will 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:26.840 be taken care first and foremost. All Right, let's talk 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:31.320 about a roster move Cowboys made yesterday Peyton Hindershot activated. 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:34.240 He is now back to the fifty three man roster. 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.480 Sean Kune now takes his spot on I R. Brian. 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.000 I see your eyebrows. Raise you feel about that? 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:42.959 Tell you what now you feel about that? Man? I'm 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:44.440 in a good You're talking about being in a good 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.160 space right now. You know what. I think this more 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:51.120 has to do with and he's stealing. McEwan's dealing with 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.360 an ankle injury right now. That's going to cost him 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.200 some time here for the next four weeks. But I 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.960 think they're more confident with Hunter Lipke being that fullback role. 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.360 I think it's a little bit easier for them to 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.040 say if Hunter Lipkey wasn't doing a decent enough job, 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.640 then there's probably no reason to put McEwan down. You 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.320 would probably say, okay, just fight through it, and you know, 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.840 we'll keep playing you and you'll play special teams. But 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.920 I think it's more about how they're happy with what 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:19.600 Hunter Lipkey's done and it's allowed them to make this move. 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.760 So I'm glad personally to have Hindershot back. I think 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:26.040 he offers you another weapon. I know we haven't seen 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.040 at all the tight ends. I think as a whole 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.760 have been a pretty damn good group. You know, there 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.679 was a lot of questions about them coming into training camp, 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.679 but they've they've more than exceeded my expectations for what 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:41.240 they've done. So adding Hindershot back, I think that's a 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.760 guy that we're going to be surprised. He might make 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.240 a player two that all of a sudden it's like, 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:48.240 oh wow, we've missed that for the last four or 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:52.800 five weeks. So I'm totally okay with this move right now. 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:53.120 Yeah. 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.839 Same, And like I said, you know, prior to them 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:59.080 making the decision, I wanted to see Hindershot activated for 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.120 a couple of reasons. One, if you go back and 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.160 look at his rookie film, yeah he had some downs, 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.240 but he had some ups. Just needs to get more 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:10.439 control over his receiver receptions, you know, no tip drill interceptions, 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.200 no drops. But when he makes a play, boys did 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.800 a play. So he's flashed in a way that really 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.200 made me excited to see the duo of him and 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.760 Ferguson before the Schoolmaker pick was made. But then Ferguson 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:23.960 kind of struggled starting the season and then he's been 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.240 going ever since on IR so I wanted to see 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.200 him back on the field to see how he reacts 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.680 to return, how he reacts to it being the Jake 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.640 Ferguson show with Schoolmaker getting involved, how do the Cowboys 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.319 get Hindershot involved? What does that look like as far 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.600 as that trio is concerned at a top the tight 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.280 end depth chart. But also you need to see what 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.160 he can give you before you get into this offseason 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:48.440 because we're all excited about what John Stevens Junior could 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.320 have been this season if not for the torn acl 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:51.880 So we're all looking forward to seeing what he can 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.160 be when he gets back on the field. And you 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.680 know OTA's and mini camp and training camp and there's 0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.440 going to have to be a decision made months and 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.520 months from now, and you just want it as a 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.120 GM and as will McLain at Scouting Department, you want 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.079 to be able to have as much data and film 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.480 in front of you as possible when that camp battle 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:10.439 fire is up for So for all of those reasons 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:13.520 and more, and the more being I believe him the 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.920 shot can be another weapon for Dak Prescott. This is 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:16.920 just the smart move. 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.319 Yeah, I mean I've said this before, even yesterday. 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:21.520 I have my doubts. 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.320 He's a player that had a great start of his 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.680 NFL career. He did a great job last year and 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.200 what he showed everybody. I'm a fan of his and 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.040 I wish him the best and I hope that he 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:36.959 can be someone that can contribute right away in this 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.760 tough month of December. And to me, it's more of 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.360 the timing of how things are playing out, because even 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.280 prior to the injury, he wasn't having a good year. 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:50.079 He didn't have a good training camp, even the games 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:53.480 that he was there, it was not good. So I 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.560 think it was more on the mental side of things. 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:59.760 Hopefully he's in a better headspace and going into this 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:03.200 knowing that the Cowboys are opening a spot for him, 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.920 which should make him feel better and given you know 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:11.360 that they're still putting trust in him and his game. 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:15.760 So bunch of doubts on my end, but I do 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:18.720 I am rooting for him, and I do really like 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.960 him a lot, and I hope he's able to translate 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:23.160 good things into the field. 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:25.320 I do really hope that you make a good point 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.640 on Brus Farres his mental headspace. I really hope that 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:29.920 he's looking at it in that capacity as far as 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.520 being thankful for the opportunity and willing to step in 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.719 and make some plays versus thinking to himself, it took 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:38.400 them twenty one days, and they almost went to the 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.400 buzzer with this. They don't look at it the latter 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.520 look at it the former. You're on the field, go 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:45.640 out there and make some plays and make them, make 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:47.560 them right, prove them right, because this is the team 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:49.360 that gave you a chance as an undrafted free agent. 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:51.000 This is the team that gave you the reps last 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.319 year so that you could flash. And so don't look 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.920 at it as a took them twenty one days. Are 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:58.840 they unsure? No, go out there and handle your business. 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:00.800 Yeah, I just want to real quick say before we 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:02.480 go to break, you got to give a lot of 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.319 credit to Lunda Wells and what he's done with his 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.920 tight end. Like you talked about this group in this room, 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.240 like this, this group you're talking about guys that have 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.760 that he's developed, Like Dalton Schultz. We all sat on 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.600 this show. Uh you're probably you over on Talking Cowboys 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:18.840 at the time, and we're like, yeah, I think the 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.440 Dalton Schultz Show is over and this was like two 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.679 of his career, but like we were like, we were like, 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.880 he's not He's never going to develop and uh and 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.679 and you saw him develop and turn into a really 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.320 really good player for the Cowboys. And now you're looking 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.000 at a guy like Jake Ferguson in his second year 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:37.960 who is producing well enough to where I think he's 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:39.520 going to be a part of the conversation for a 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.439 Pro Bowl, Like he's playing at that level. And and 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.280 you start thinking about that and what Hendershott was able 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:45.520 to do as a rookie last year, and then what 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.840 we saw from even from John Stevens this year at 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:50.520 training camp, like there are this guy knows what he's 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:51.800 doing when it comes tight in and he has a 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:53.559 career before the Cowboys where he had a lot of 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.320 production there as well with the Giants. So I just 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:57.880 I got to give him a little love. Londa knows 0:13:57.880 --> 0:13:58.320 what he's doing. 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.320 Some people say he's actually a better off it's a 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.800 line coach. Really, Yeah, that is that. 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.000 He's that type of co I would trust it if you. 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.040 Plugged him in as an offensive line coach, he would 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:08.680 be just as just as productive. 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:10.559 Yeah, he knows what he's doing. He's doing a great job. 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:12.280 And you with coaches, you always got to look at 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.480 the results and look at the results over time. His 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.280 results over time look pretty dark. 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.120 Yeah, Lunda has been phenomenal. And I love the relationship 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:22.160 between Lunda and the scouting department because it's you know, 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.200 as well as Lunda is developing this talent, and he 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:27.200 is most certainly doing that, the collaboration that leads to 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.000 just them spotting the right kind of talent and the 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.560 right fits for the situation. Because I know there was 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:34.800 some not me because I was on the Fergie train 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:36.960 last year, but there were some that were wondering, Okay, well, 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:38.960 with Dolton shouts you lose him, You're losing over eight 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.640 hundred yards of production. You're losing Dak Prescott's statistically his 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:45.320 number one target. What does that look like? Okay, well, 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.400 you look at Lunda Wells and he says, Jake, you're up. 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.280 And then he says, schoolmaker, we can develop you while 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:52.600 Jake is you know, So, Jake's hit another level. I 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.000 think last game he tied Jason Whiten for the most 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:59.120 receiving touchdowns through the first couple of seasons. So when 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:02.200 you're in that conversation this early. It's good stuff. 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:04.440 And actually that's another reason why I'm a big believer 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:07.560 that gives Schoolmaker time. It's gonna work out, trust me, 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:09.880 because I have faith in Lunda. Lounda knows what you're doing. 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.080 They're gonna he's gonna that's fine. I'm just saying I 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.280 just Londa on this one. He'll get it right. He'll 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.000 get him to a point where he needs to be. 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:18.960 And I think in a year or two we'll look 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.120 back and be like, yeah, he was just growing and. 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:23.400 Thanks to Jake, he has time to develop because he 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:25.200 didn't have to come in kind of like Masie Smith 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.560 didn't have to come in and immediately be that guy 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:31.160 because of Jonathan Hankins, Olsa Chauncey. Same with Schoolmaker doesn't 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.400 have to come in and be the definitive air to 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:36.040 chokes because Jake Ferguson, He's wearing that crown, and I 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:37.440 think he's gonna keep wearing that crown. 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.200 All Right, We're gonna take our first break, come back. 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:41.720 We'll talk about the Philadelphia defense versus the Cowboys offense. 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:43.560 We'll be back Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:46.560 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the cheatah. 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.600 Savannah Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought online 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.440 was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be faster 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:54.760 than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:57.120 But the good news is Todd has at and T 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:00.280 five G.
