Welcome to the latest edition of The Break, 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:55.920 live from the s WBC Mortgage studios at the Star. 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:58.320 It is founder day for the Omega So a little 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:00.520 shout out to the broad shout out to the as 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.120 we as we get this show flowing, Nick, give me 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:09.520 a sixty three and I stretching, guy, it's time him started. 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.399 I'm in I'm in a move. Clarence wears that. Clarence 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.800 Hill wears Omega stuff all the time anyway, but he 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.320 was decked out today when he came full it makes 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.959 a lot more sense all of a sudden. Sixty sixty, 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:27.240 give me sixty three. Kyle Kosher, I like that underrated 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:29.080 guard in my opinion. Oh yeah, he was like the 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.039 worst worst lineman of the starting five, and he was 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.120 like really good. Yeah, that was a good good player 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:38.040 with three Pro bowlers and him and Colombo. I don't 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.480 have a lot of other sixty threes, Tyler, be honest. 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:46.040 Bye it is yeah bye bye bye is Glenn Titans, Sir, 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.400 there's a player back in the eight. Never heard that. 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.680 Never heard of Glenn Titans or GTT No, I haven't 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.680 heard him. See, Like, when you throw out a number, 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.240 the first thing that I do automatically is just go 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.960 back to the ninth nineteen eighty three, eighty four teams 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.560 when I was like seven and eight. That was. That's 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.160 one thing. I could just give you a number that. 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:06.720 But I don't always want to do that. I want 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:08.399 to mix it up a little bit. But sixty three 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.720 Glenn Titans or yesterday I had to do with Brian Baldinger. Yeah, yeah, 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.320 I learned something. Yes, Yeah, what about Aaron Gibson Big 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:19.240 his head was biggest came from the from the Lions 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.480 five pounds or something. It was like four hundred pounds, 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.160 and they they had to just give the Lions had 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.520 to ship their helmet over and they and luckily they 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:29.280 didn't have to do a lot of changing of the 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:31.600 paint schemes and all that stuff. But yeah, he had 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.720 the biggest head ever and they were like, well, we gotta, 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:35.680 we gotta figure this out. We gotta we don't have 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.200 a helmet like that the last It wasn't Mike's here 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.000 that long, I think for the Desperadoes at one point, 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.800 but he probably had that same helmet. Jeez. All right, dude, 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.160 all right, um, let's let's talk some injuries. We got 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.200 a few guys we need to catch up on Tyren Smith. 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:54.000 He's now missed two games games and uh and but 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.520 it sounds like there's a possibility he may be back 0:02:56.600 --> 0:03:01.160 this week. Possible. Yeah, well, yeah, we'll stick with possible. 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:05.080 Stephen Stephen Jones gave him a glowing review on Monday. 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:06.760 He was like, yeah, add him to the list of 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.160 people who might be able, who should be able to play, 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.720 And Jerry Jones says, yeah, I agree with that. We 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.560 get this interview, He's like, I get yeah. He's like, 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:17.440 I get the same report as Stephen does, so yes, yeah, 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.480 they feel good. He's gonna he's gonna be involved in 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:24.000 the individual you know, the early portion of practice before 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.760 you get into the team reps um. McCarthy said they'll 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:29.960 evaluate him to see if he does more kind of 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.720 feel like McCarthy just says that to make everybody feel better. Like, 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.760 so I doubt, I doubt he'll do a ton in 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:37.440 team today, but I guess we don't know that for sure. 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:38.880 But yeah, he'll be He'll be out there, he'll be 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.600 practicing any idea what he has to do this week 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.440 in order to pet I assume they have some kind 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.400 of threshold where they say, okay, he's ready to go, 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.000 get into the team period, whether it's today or tomorrow. 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.160 Do tackle things, go against a rush and feel okay 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.680 doing it? Feel okay on Friday? Yeah, let mean do 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:58.640 it Thursday, feel okay on Friday. What's your sense when 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:02.160 Stephen Jones says on Monday like he's got a real shot, 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.480 add him to the list of guys who should be 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.160 able to step up and go I'm gonna rock with that. 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.120 This is a huge game, absolutely playing the chefs. You 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:14.240 gotta go out there, and that's went over a lot 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.360 of people. I don't I know you guys probably do, 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:17.960 but I think it's some some people that probably went 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.800 over the all time great commercial. It was all time. 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.400 That's great commercial. Absolutely, what were you saying, Amber, I 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.680 was gonna say that if that comment had come from 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:30.200 Jerry Jones, initially we would have been like, oh, maybe 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.480 let's not get so excited because we know he's very, 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:38.080 very optimistic. That's what makes it funny and encouraging. Like 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:42.520 Stevens not usually, Steven's pretty good about not giving stuff away. 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.080 He plays a little closer to the chess than Jerry does, 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.520 and he's just like, yeah, he's gonna play, so I'm 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.279 I'm taking that to the bank. If he doesn't play, 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.839 I'll be surprised. All right, good talking about Seedee Lamb. 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:54.480 He did get hurt in the game, it didn't seem 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:56.480 like it was a huge deal. Seemed like they were 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.040 kind of pulling starters at that point. Anyway, what are 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.719 we hearing about him? It was a boo boo I 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.800 think like, no, I'm not like making fun of CD Lamb. 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.719 I'm just that's a he bruised his arm. He said 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:09.800 it was nagging at him and it hurt. But like, 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.000 if the game was close, he wouldn't have I don't 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.039 think he would have sat. So for going forward, we 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.480 should be I don't nobody even asked McCarthy about it 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.919 today because it's just a foregone injury as well, it 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:24.160 sounds like he was additioning out more pain than than 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:26.360 delivering it, you know, or getting you know. He yeah, 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.760 seriously headbudded Dak in the face. That's pretty funny. Actually 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.840 that's for everybody but Dak. Yeah, I mean he laughed, Dak. 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.720 I mean some inside the NFL got him miked up. 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.440 He was kind of laughing like cheez, CD, thanks man 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.039 of them. That's cool that they able to do that. Yeah, 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.240 I thought somebody had kind of poked him, you know, 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.080 like after in the postgame press conference, I'm like, what 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.320 happened is I'm thinking somebody poked him and didn't know 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.680 it was like his own teammates. That's a tough, real 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.920 quick point about CD. He's a tough so yeah he 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.520 I mean, if I think he used a different if 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:03.000 if Dave can can that was a really good one, 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:04.919 by the way, No, it was not didn't even do it. 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.280 I saw all of our lives flash before my eyes 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:11.200 as he did that. What's so funny is just like 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:14.000 like a week ago, somebody even asked me, how do 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.039 y'all what do y'all do when you when y'all drop 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.360 the F bomb. I was like, we don't, we just 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.800 don't do it. Yeah, and then until but yeah, he 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:25.440 was always the first time he's that probably wasn't the 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:30.599 first time. But real quick, real quick about CD. It's 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:34.920 just a great example of like and that's minor, but 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.279 when we talk about players are always dealing with something 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.279 that only gets reported because he sits out for the 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:42.960 rest of the game and it gets called up to 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.719 the press box, like and we noticed it. We noticed 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.880 when he left the field kind of moving his arm 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.599 with that happens like six times a game. But the 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:52.800 guy goes back in because it's a close game and 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.000 you have to. That's what we're saying. When you're like, 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:59.600 everybody's dealing with something in November CD that it probably 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:01.920 still but it's not going to keep him out of 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:03.240 the game, you know. But I think the thing to 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.960 remember too is that that's also the nature of football players. 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:10.280 When there are adrenalines pumping, sometimes they can do things 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.360 that then when it stops, they're like, oh gosh, this 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.800 is not this is a real injury. I mean, I 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.720 think about Robert Woods out in LA They said he 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:23.000 tore his ACL, he continued with practice, he did his 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.960 post game, I mean, his post practice interview with the media. 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:29.240 Then later they did some tests on it and found 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.280 out he had torn his ACL. Like that's where you're like, 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.160 it's it's just these guys are a different breed. They 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:38.680 just aren't normal human beings when it comes to pain tolerance. 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:40.720 And so that's why you have to at least ask 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.440 the question, is this something more? Because you just never 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.920 know if it's something more once that adrenaline stops pumping. 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.040 All Right, a couple of guys that we want to 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.720 talk about from the standpoint of returning to the lineup, 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:53.280 DeMarcus Lawrence, Nevill Gallimore. How far are we awaigh on 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.280 those guys and getting them back out there? This is 0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:00.880 this is becoming a subplot, and I totally under stand why, 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.480 especially in the case of Neville Neville Gallimore, because he 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:10.120 hyper extends his elbow on like August fourteenth, it's Thanksgiving basically, 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.280 it's it's been so it's been three months, yeah, and 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.000 he's not His practice window hasn't started, and people are like, 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.680 oh my god, did he have a setback? Is something 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:20.760 terribly wrong? Where the hell is this guy he hasn't 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:25.040 had a setback. I think he's out there every day 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.720 rehabbing and doing the stuff that he's supposed to do. 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.720 I think it's just a case of an injury that 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.840 drastically affects the position that he plays. I don't know. 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:35.480 I mean, I don't know if he's had a setback, 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.240 but I'm not one hundred percent sure that he hasn't. 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.800 I mean, this is a long window, right, I thought, 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.400 then they say that's no, it's eight weeks. It was 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:47.959 it will but that's I feel like eight weeks, but 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.880 people people here six to eight and then you hope 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.800 for the best. So you're straight for a punter. You're 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:58.240 leaning heavily on that six. Yeah, And I guess you're right. 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.439 I don't know for sure that he hasn't had a setback, 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.400 but I think this is just a case where you 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.959 need your arm strength to do that job. It's not 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.960 something that you can gut through like maybe, um, who's 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:16.080 a guy that doesn't necessarily need full safe Yeah, yeah, 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:20.000 you need that leverage. And McCarthy has talked to us 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:21.840 about this, where it's like you can see him hitting 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.760 the sled and you just know that the arm strength 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:26.600 isn't where it needs to be to get into a 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:30.400 game and be useful. I get that that's frustrating, but 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.480 this is weird too, because, like y'all correct me if 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.559 you think I'm wrong, it feels like we're kind of 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:40.280 close to the end of the season right in your mind. 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.079 Does it kind of feel that way? Yeah, when you 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.000 when you start getting to Thanksgiving? Yeah, yeah, there's eight 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.719 games left to play. We're halfway through. They are at 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.360 the halfway, but it just kind of feels in my 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:54.000 mind like you're like a month away because the December 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:55.559 is the end of the season, but they go two 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.360 weeks into January this year because of the seventeenth game. 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:02.080 There's a lot of football, and so I get that 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.720 it's frustrating, but I don't think it's a huge deal. 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.440 And I think I don't think you're going to see 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.240 the markets or Gallimore until December probably, But even then, 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.080 you're talking about having him for five or six games maybe, 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.560 do you think? I mean, how do you? Because last 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.960 year it was exciting the things that we got to 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.840 see from him, but then with him being out this long, 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.920 do you guys see it like really affecting kind of 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:29.200 his improvement that he was already doing and him taking 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.320 him maybe a couple of weeks to even I mean, 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:34.520 my point is like he's been out this long, then 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:38.400 he comes back, let's say December, and then even then 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.679 you're not really getting much use out of him because 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:43.920 it's kind of taking him a while to get that 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:48.040 rost of himself. So at that point, what January is 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:51.720 when you're really getting good use out of him? Absolutely, yeah, 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:56.760 you don't need him, that's the great part, right, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.120 but there's so many guys playing defensive tackle. I'm playing 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:04.040 defensive tackle. Well, you don't need him, so whatever he 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.600 can give you at that point is kind of gravy. Right, 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.480 That's that's where I'm at. If no one else gets injured, 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:12.760 good point of course, at this point of the season, 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:16.000 that's when that starts happening. I'm not trying to spin 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.800 it as this positive that these guys aren't available, but 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:22.320 it at least is fun to think. Let's let's so 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:26.920 we we said Thanksgiving, right, initially, we we know that's 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.480 not happening, and now I'm even so I'm thinking like 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:34.520 December twelfth, December nineteenth, those are for both of them. 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:38.439 Probably no, I see, Um, you know, if you could 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.800 look out the window and see Tank, You're like, you know, 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.400 I would imagine you'd see someone that looks pretty good, 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.199 pretty good, like I've seen worse. You've had just this 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.959 premonition if you could see if you could see him, Yeah, 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.679 I think it's like he's working out and in shape, 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.440 and I think he Yeah, I've had that same dream, like, yeah, 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.600 like his footwork looks good for a guy that broke 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:00.960 his foot, if you could see him, probably look better 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.560 than the guy that's probably out there rehabbing with him 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.120 and is going to play on Sunday. I'm getting a 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.880 little crazy here, d law. I didn't have that dream base. 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:12.320 Let me go back, let me go back to Galimar. Yeah, well, 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:14.199 you know, I don't know. I woke up, so I 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:17.480 don't know. After that he lost. Yeah, um, I think 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:19.440 Gallimar though, you know, you're like, well, you don't really 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:22.960 need him, Like like forty three to three was was nice. Yeah, 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.920 we're only about twelve days removed from like the Bronco 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:30.400 Bronco Nagurski just running through them and all that, so 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.920 somebody was needed there. It was getting the ass kicked 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.479 on that d line. So I'm just saying, like, yeah, 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:39.199 they could show up the running game a little bit more. 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.280 There's been some time, especially when you get a team 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.840 that really likes to do that. So I'm not sure 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:46.680 he's the guy to do it, but I mean, yeah, 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.960 somebody has needed him, urban you know, somebody coming back. 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.120 I completely agree. I don't I don't want to say 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:54.760 they don't need him, but I do the fun thing 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.520 for me, you'd love to have both of them back 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:03.719 a sap. But again, let's just say December nineteenth, just 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:07.000 as a hypothetical date that they can both play. That's 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:10.640 still yes, Giants game. That still gives you. So that 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:14.280 gives you Giants, Washington Cardinals, Eagles. That gives you a 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:19.480 month of games. Did you say bye? Yeah after that? Okay, 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:21.920 whatever however you want to call it. That gives you 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.600 a month of games. And then what's the end goal 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.680 for this team, the playoffs. So now you get four 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:31.760 games to round those guys into form and get humming 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:35.040 as you get into what matters where like this is 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:38.360 this is unusual territory for the Cowboys because even in 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.760 eighteen they were trying to catch up, they were trying 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.840 to gain ground because they started three and five. This 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.640 is a weird situation where, yeah, all these games are 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.520 important and you gotta win them, but you can kind 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:52.360 of you have that target in mind of like we're 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:55.160 not trying to make the playoffs. We are in the playoffs, 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.520 and we gotta get ready for those games, you know, 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.520 I mean, I know that makes people uncomfortable, but that's 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.240 where this team's thought process. But the thing is is 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.439 these four or five games in a row are tough. 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:10.280 Like this is going to be the toughest stretch right here, 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:11.840 and we're gonna get to that a little bit more 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:13.800 as we go through the week and talk about Kansas City. 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.880 They've gotten to this point without those guys, so like, 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.800 it's again, it's it's not the situation where like we 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:21.760 need you back because we're a game back in the 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:24.320 standings and we got to do this. It's like, yeah, 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:28.600 we're we're ninety nine percent gonna win the division, ninety 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:30.760 five percent, whatever you want to say it. And again, 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.240 that's not to diminish the games ahead on the schedule, 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:36.680 but there are larger things you need to consider as well. 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.040 I feel like until this point, we've been or at 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.960 least me. I'm like, Okay, take your time, It's okay. 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:46.000 But now I'm like, okay, getting answer up. Let's get 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:49.040 moving here. It is the number one thing that we 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.960 get asked, like it's our mail bag today on the site. 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:55.400 I get it. Five tweets about it an hour, and 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.600 I get it. I completely understand why it frustrates people. 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.880 But there's it least a benefit to it. If there's 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.120 a lot of football left to go. I'll tell you what, 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:06.960 like this week, I would love to see and this 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:08.760 is when we go out to practice. I would love 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:12.560 to see Randy Gregory on those chords because Gregory can 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.320 come back after the Thanksgiving Day game if if he 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:18.720 misses three games. But we saw with Dak, we saw 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.240 what he I know, every calf injury in different. I 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:23.960 get it. But like we saw with Dak, he was 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.840 kind of on those chords, probably ten days or so 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.320 before he actually played in a game. So it would 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:32.320 be nice if Gregory can come back soon. It would 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:35.400 be nice to see him start already rehabbing. It's unfair 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:39.640 to compare, but McCarthy did say it's more of a 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.640 Dak calf injury than a Gallop calf injury. Which is 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.280 very encouraging. YEA, all right, we're gonna take We're gonna 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:46.680 take our first break and we come back. We're gonna 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:48.360 have We're gonna be talking about Buckey Brooks of NFL 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.560 Network're gonna talk about the Kansas City Office versus the 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:52.720 Dallas Defense.

My life's up in my house. 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:13.879 So I'm the end. It's Christmas time, guys, let's go. 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:16.320 I'm done fighting it. As I said the other day, 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.200 I mean, just because you wear red like you did 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:20.639 on the show the other day doesn't necessarily mean that 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:25.199 it's always about Christmas. Right my name Merry Christmas. All right, 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:28.040 we'll joined right now by Bucky Brooks, NFL Network. Bucky. 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:30.720 Let's talk some Kansas City offense versus the Dallas defense 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:33.840 they have. Although they they seem to be rounding out 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:35.600 into form at six and four, they did have a 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:39.199 three and four start with losses to Baltimore and the 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:42.600 Chargers and Buffalo and Tennessee. What was the main reason 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:48.040 for their slow start turnovers. This is a team that 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.000 was leading the league in giveaways. They were turning the 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:54.160 ball over at an alarming clip. Pat Mahomes was throwing interceptions, 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:56.320 they were fumbling the ball all over the place, and 0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:59.800 because they were giving teams extra opportunities and costing themselves 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:03.560 scoring chances, they lost a lot of games. And the 0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:06.760 big thing that teams were doing, particularly that Pat Mahomes, 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:08.960 is they were sitting in a two deep shield, they 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:11.520 were park in the safeties in the parking lot, and 0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:15.520 they were testing the discipline and patience of Pat Mahomes. 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:18.560 And he failed the test because he would continue to 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:20.520 try and push the ball down the field when there 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:22.760 was an umbrella there. And he had a number of 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:26.000 interceptions on tips and overthrows because he's trying to fit 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:30.280 the ball into windows that just aren't open. So when 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:34.640 you have Kelsey, why would you do that? Like? Why, 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:36.880 I mean why? Why it is that just goes down 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:38.800 to patience? Is it just like he's just one of 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:40.399
