Are you ready for 0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:10.000 a break for yours? Are you ready for a break? 0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:15.120 Absolutely ready for a break? Yeah, and so much for that. 0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:19.480 It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:27.720 with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Hi, guys, 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:31.400 welcome to another episode of The Break. David Hellman is 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:35.680 not in today. We unfortunately have a replacement for him, 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:39.000 which is just happens to be Brian broad Us. Huh 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:41.800 whose Twitter account got hacked. I don't need to keep 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.360 talking about that, but yeah, it's true. He is here 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:47.320 on the show today. We'll see what he can bring. 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:49.720 Good to have you back, Brian. I had a show 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:51.400 with you in a long time. Glad to bring some 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:54.640 reason to this thing, some real knowledge, some real knowledge. 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.560 It better be good, Better be good. Well, there was 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.640 some trash talking aside from the mine that I'm doing 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:04.720 right now, there was some trash talking happening yesterday. We 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:09.760 talked about what that linebacker guy move come to move 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:14.959 Cruzier Hill. Crucier Hill said about the Cowboys and how 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:19.640 they basically just always end up choking and how they're 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.720 gonna choke them out. And then of course that was 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:26.080 brought back to the locker room, and I thought that 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:31.199 Prescott had an interesting response. I liked his response. He said, 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.800 you know, coach Garrett has a great saying. I don't 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.440 know where he got it from, but winners worry about 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:41.080 winning and losers worry about winners. We're focused on ourselves 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.840 in this locker room about what we need to do 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.760 in itch, in every phase of this game, and what 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:50.720 we need to do for this week. Yeah, reactions to this, 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.560 did you like his response? It was the perfect It 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.600 was the perfect way to throw shade in a classy 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.200 way because it was very clear he'd heard it. He 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.440 is good at he and he did it in a 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.680 way that was professional. He did it in a way 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.720 that doesn't become bullets and bullets and board material for 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.480 the other team. But you get his point. I mean, 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:12.519 he started with who and he did he heard, he heard, 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:14.680 But that's the point, Like he said it in a 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.560 way that he could do it and let that guy know, Yeah, 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:19.720 I heard what you said, but whatever you know, I'm 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.600 moving on. You're not worth my time. Basically, that was 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.679 The funny thing when they said his name and told 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:29.200 him it's like who yeah, right, okay, this is defending 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.040 Super Bowl champ though, right, yeah, no doubt. I mean 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.200 the play. Yeah, why are they having Why are they 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:35.840 having to throw you know, why are they having to 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.679 say things like that? That's clearly not that not Their 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.080 team is not as good as it was. They've got 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:44.160 issues and they know it. That's the thing. You're a 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.720 little scared when you say stuff like that. You're a 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.240 little scared. You know, you gave up a lot of yards. 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.120 He was part of it. He dropped an interception down 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.640 in the red zone. Yeah, down in that It would 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.080 have been a huge play. I mean, Dak hadn't throw 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:57.959 an interception in a long time. All of a sudden, 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.560 this guy drops one. Hey, I'll go out and make 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.400 some plays. Your team's not very good right now, and 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.240 they need you to make some plays. We'll see, we'll see, 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.079 because he's gonna get a big dose of that ball 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:09.200 coming ride at him, and we'll see if he can 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.799 handle that. That's that's where you know, with the Marcus 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:16.840 Lawrence last week, his locker room talk, he backed it up. 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.560 He went out there and played an incredible game. It 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:21.239 sounds like to me the Eagles are a little scared 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.480 about what's about to happen to them. So I guess 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:28.799 we get to that's gonna be Marcus was scared too 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.240 last week. I mean, but that's what happens. Though. You 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.560 play it that way and you kind of rallying people 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:35.440 around it. The problem is is that guy's not the 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.040 leader of that defense, right like the d Laws. But 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.160 they got more to lewas well, I did hear. I 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.680 heard our national report from one of the guys that 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.560 covers the Eagles, as said after talking to some guys 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.480 in the locker room, he got the impression they weren't 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.200 very happy with their teammate for saying what they said, 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.240 and more so just kind of like where'd that come from? 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:55.920 Like why, yeah, why did you say that? That does 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.080 it didn't even make sense, Like what's the point of 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.920 you saying that? So? Um So, I'm not sure that 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.480 everybody was on board. I don't think that's the way 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:05.400 that I went. I don't think when that's those types 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.240 of things are said, I don't think everybody's on board anyway, right, 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.000 I really don't. I mean, to me, it's you and 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.000 Nick you said you mention about Lawrence being scared. I 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.400 think Lawrence did that in his way of Lawrence is 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.359 a legitimate player. You know, Lawrence is a Pro Bowl, 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:23.159 All probe type player, a player that makes seventeen million 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.960 dollars a year to you know, to make play. This 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.719 guy doesn't make plays. And to me, that's trying to 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:32.320 talk something up. You know, they realize they're not as 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.360 good as they were. Now. They're capable of winning this game, 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:38.159 absolutely they are, but they're not the same team that 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.240 last year went through and run the Super Bowl the 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.039 way they did and the other they're fighting for their 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.160 lives right now. Yeah. The other thing I'll say is 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.280 I think in this instance, and I don't know, I'm 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.839 guessing here because of what I what my impressions of 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.440 what I saw. My impression is, I think this guy 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.000 is just kind of having a little fun with the media. 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.200 I don't think he really was trying to be bullets 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:56.560 in warm into. I think he's just kind of having 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.159 a little fun. And actually I think the opposite with 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.839 demark I actually think DeMarcus was like I kind of 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:04.760 think that I see a path for us winning this game. 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:06.839 This is here's how I see it happened. This is 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.760 how nobody believed. No, but but I think I honestly 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.440 think that, and I've heard this from a couple of 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.920 different people, both in the locker room and just people 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.320 that work with this team, that there was a feeling 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:19.240 in that locker room last week that you know, we 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.560 really think that they haven't faced the defense like ours 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.360 this season. We really feel like we can beat this team. 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:27.320 We really feel like we can do some things against 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.960 him defensively that will show, that will shut down this 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.400 offense in a way that people haven't really seen happen. 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.480 They believe that, whether we didn't believe it or anybody 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.560 else to believe it is beside the point. They really 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:40.039 believe it. And I think Demarcus's comments were more reflective 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.599 of that, And I think grugia Hill was more just 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.680 kind of having fun with the rivalry, having fun with 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.039 the media, sure more so than him saying we're gonna 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:50.039 really be able to do this. That's just my impression. Now, 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:54.640 before we completely dive into game day predictions, any actives 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:56.640 and all that, I wanted to hit on a different 0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:00.800 note real quick. Derek Henry from the Tennessee Titan tied 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:06.600 up a rerecord with Tony Tony, and I'll let you 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.760 guys talk about it because this is more around y'all's era, 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:17.080 not mine. So yeah, it sucked. I didn't realize it would. No, 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.000 I was just like tack well, I was like tackling. 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.120 I mean kidding me. I mean it was the worst 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:22.919 set of tackling. But I did not think that would 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:24.960 bother me like you did. And I remember I grew 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:29.360 up Tony Dorset posters on the wall, my favorite player ever. 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.920 And I love the fact that that that was uh 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.160 something that Cowboys had, you know, and they still do 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.440 um you know. I mean, I guess the Titans needed 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.479 eleven guys on the field to get it done. I 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.880 mean the Cowboys didn't. But cow Whiskey just do it 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.080 with you know, it just uh it was. It was 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.000 an outstanding play and congratulations to Derrick Henry for doing it. 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:49.680 I mean the speed and the strength and all that. 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.160 But I did I did like the fact that it 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.880 was the Cowboys rerecord Tony door sets and you know 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:56.920 it's still I think was a longer run, but it 0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:01.040 still goes down. You can't beat it, So it was 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.680 tie it beat it, But I. Yeah, I was a little. 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:05.359 It was more affected by it than I thought it 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.400 would be. Never why would that affect you? I don't know. 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:11.920 It was his favorite player. I get it. But I 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:15.560 mean I six, I'm six years old and I and 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.880 I woke up as a Monday night game in college. 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.440 I woke up and I said, I asked for my mom. 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.440 I said, did we Did we win? You know, that 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.160 was before I got to stay up and watch the 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:29.240 whole game, And she said, I remember vividly. She said no, 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:33.640 but there was a really great play and she talked 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:35.480 about that, you know, and I I was like no, 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:37.280 but I mean, like, well, what's the butt? And I 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:38.960 lost to the Vikings, you know, but she was like 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.880 explaining this play, and it's just been it's been awesome 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.440 that that, you know, the Cowboys did it, and they 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.040 did it with ten players on the field, and so 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.640 it's been tied. But that's okay. Sorry, Yeah, I mean 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.160 back in the day, like I say, as a Cowboy 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:57.280 fan growing up, you know that I had certain players. 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:01.280 Only twenty two was my favorite player. But it's it's 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.960 funny that you see record there's certain records you think 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.640 will never be broken, you know, there's certain And then 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.480 but if I can understand if you had a guy 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.880 that was your favorite player and you're like, oh, I 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:13.880 just always wanted him to be in the record, but 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.520 I wanted him to be I didn't want people to say, well, 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.040 they've had two ninety nine yard runs in NFL history. Yeah, 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.680 Tony Dorset and Derrick Henry, and you go and then 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.440 you go, who yeah, yeah, you know, like you know, 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:28.239 Nick's kid's gonna one day, Dad, who was your Tony Dorset? Who? 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:29.720 You know that kind of I mean, you know, and 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.199 that's Derek Henry. It's just a great point because of 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.160 what Emmett Smith has been able to do. And he's 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.920 not the greatest running back in Cowboys history anymore, and 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:39.680 so it's like he's always kind of had that. So 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.560 he has he had a hell of a career here. 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:44.720 I mean, he really really did. And then Emmett Smith 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:46.960 comes along and then all these everybody when you think 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.760 about Dallas Cowboy running backs, everybody always says Emmett Smith first. 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:54.720 But from my era, being old and all that, yeah, 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:58.880 Tony Dorset was legitimate. Calvin Hill before him, you know, 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.880 Dwayne Thomas before these guys were Dallas has always had 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.600 a great history of running back except for the Hamricks 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:07.560 were here when I was part of that mess. But 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:11.320 you know they're well, it was Nick was put on 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.880 this earth to remind you of all bs that we 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:17.120 drafted and signed for all those years. So you know, 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.120 every time I see Nick, I think about it. He 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:23.120 remembers every single mistake, every single I'll say this, when 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.800 they have like instructional videos on how to tackle, like 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.839 there's like a Tommy man Sky type of tackling drill 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.679 trash can ye centerfield, it won't be that play now, 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:36.119 Like it won't be quit. You know. Mickey said Jacksonville 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:39.240 was frauds. He said that like like a week after 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:41.680 that the Cowboy, after the Cowboys beat him, he said, 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:45.000 Jacksonville's a fraud team. That team was one play away 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.000 basically from going to Super Bowl. Ay where I don't 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.520 call him a fraud. I really don't. I think this 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:53.280 was a to me, this is a classic case. This 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:55.439 is a classic case of a team that last year 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:57.880 probably played a little bit above their heads, sure, and 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:01.520 they probably got into this year and started going wrong. Yeah, 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.439 and that defense looked across at the other side that 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.400 the offense, It was like they're giving us nothing, and 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.280 I think they've just gotten a point where they're just like, 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.120 we can't do it on our own. Yeah, and it 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.320 feels like, okay, just throwing up their hands like we 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:15.880 just can't do this on our own. Excuse me on 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:19.280 bur if I may do this? Can can you tie in? Though? 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.560 Could the Cowboys have done that with their defense? And 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:24.959 what wait and what way? Throwing their hands up said 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.880 you know what, we can't do anything with this. That 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.640 the cow if you look at Jacksonville, took the approach 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.280 of you know, let's be honest. Dak was having some 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.280 problems and you know, and and you're defensively, you're not 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.439 giving up anything. You're trying to win games. Hell, you 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.480 held the Saints to thirteen or to ten points and 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:45.880 he gave up seven sacks. Think about that. But do 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:47.559 you think at some point in time do you think 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.720 the Cowboys ever got to a point in the season 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.240 you know what they said defensively, they go, god, we 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.880 just can't why do we keep doing this? They might 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:57.880 have if they wouldn't have pulled that trade off, and 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:01.240 maybe that maybe that's why they get it. Yeah, there 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.480 may have been the coaches and the front office may 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.040 have looked at that and saying, we're at that might 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.560 be the fining that might be the defining moment of 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:11.960 the season that Jerry Jones. Someone says to Jerry Jones, Hey, listen, 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:16.280 we can give up a one. What he goes, we 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.600 give a one to get one. No. No, I've sat 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.240 with him for two straight drafts. I've talked about this. 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:25.719 He hates that he hates is the drafts going on 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.280 and he's just watching and he's going, God, I can't draft, 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:30.920 I can't, you know. So, I mean somebody had to 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:34.520 really convince him or he looked at this division and said, 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:38.480 this things for the taken Sunday. It's for the defense. Sunday. 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:39.959 It is for the take. And if they go out 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.600 there and take it, it is you know. But I 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:44.199 wonder if there was a point in time, and I'm 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.920 wondering if if they wouldn't have made that trade that 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.480 they or they wouldn't have changed the offensive line coach, 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:53.440 that the defense would have instead of Ambar walks up 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.040 to somebody and interviews him in the locker room and 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.760 take goes Ambar men. Our offense is just not get it. 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:01.080 Done well. Really no, just can't win without this With 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:04.520 this offense, we can't win. That's what's happened in Jacksonville. 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.040 Trust me, when you're looking at this team and back 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.439 then and you see the way that this defense is playing, 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.440 I mean, you have to reflect and say you don't 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.920 want to waste this defense and the way they're playing, 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.720 because that does not guarantee you that you're they're gonna 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:22.480 be playing the same way next Year's point right right, 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:26.360 The NFL is all about the moment, because think about this, 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.000 and that's that was a tweet I had last night. 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.560 Think about this. Just last year, Barry Church said when 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.080 he went to Jacksonville, this is a more talented defense 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:35.760 than the one I came from. And guess what, he 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.920 was right. That defense last year played so much better 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:42.400 than any defense in the NFL. They were legit. One 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:46.480 year later, Barry has lost his starting job. Their defense 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:50.000 is playing very poorly, they don't tackle, And the defense 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.080 he left that he said was less talented is now 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.560 a top five defense in the NFL. The NFL changes 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.559 rapidly if you don't take advantage of opportunities right now. 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:00.920 And that's why again, and the move of the Maury 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:02.640 Cooper the movie you made on the offensive line, you 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:04.599 better be making those moves in season because if you 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:06.560 feel like you have an opportunity, you see a window, 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:09.160 jump in that window. Don't wait because next year is 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:10.960 not promise. You can't say, wow, defense will be better 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:12.800 next year. You don't know that. You really don't know it. 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:15.200 Have you? Are you guys surprised though, that they've had 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:17.520 those defense play as well as they have without really 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:21.760 Taco being very good, David Irving being m I A. 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.160 You know, are you surprised that they've been able to 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:26.640 play as well as they have? I mean, look at 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.080 all the things that they that had, mean, you know 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.480 they play, you know, the human log comes in there. 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.280 I mean he's been great playing as a defensive tackle. 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.840 You know, Collins has been banged up. I mean you've yeah, 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:41.240 you're missing Sean Lee. What's sawing about him? Well before 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.400 we came in, he saw no master, right, he's gonna 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.600 be on master. Yeah, he's like human. I'm like, who 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:50.720 who's that? It's like you don't know anyway. Okay, but 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.440 but think about think about on defense what they haven't 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.440 had and able to and they've been able to pull 0:13:56.559 --> 0:14:00.400 things together the way they have, you know, defense, Let's see, 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.679 we'd just kind of been still waiting for Randy Gregory, 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.520 you know. I mean, you've getting all pro play out 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:07.839 of your left defense, ven, But how about everybody else 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:11.000 who thought vander esh you know, who thought Jalen was 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.520 gonna rise the way he has? I mean, this defense 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:18.320 is played tremendously without certain pieces that you really thought. 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.720 You know, you're like, oh man, they gotta have David Irby, 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.360 they gotta have David Ry, they gotta have Sean Lee, 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:27.840 you know. And now it's like who trying to figure 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.000 out Lee would fit back in? Yeah? Or do you 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.200 want him to fit back in? Yeah? I think you do. 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.320 I'm just saying that those are the kind of questions 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.120 that I'm going around. Now. It's just a complete one 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.200 eighty from where we were. And I don't want Vanderesh 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.560 getting twenty one stamps like he did against the Redskins 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.160 and they lost that game because he got fifty and 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.600 Sean and Jalen got sixty five. I don't want that, Yeah, 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:50.320 you know you don't. You don't put a guy on 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:52.480 a T shirt to get twenty one snaps. Why would 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.840 I Why would I, Oh, why would I take Jalen 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.120 Smith off the field? If I had to and keep 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.480 Sean Lee and Vander on the field, I would do that. 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:04.120 Is there any reason why I should do that. That's 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:05.680 one of the things I said when when we start 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:07.800 talking about and nothing to get Chanlee. I kind of 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.760 like keeping Vandersch on the field as much as anybody, right, 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.160 And then I figure out what I'm doing with everybody else. Yeah, 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.080 they can figure out how to get those three guys 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:17.760 in a rotation. Can I ask one more question, host hostess? 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.120 I was wondering, you know, if if if Sean Lee 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:24.280 comes back and doesn't play well, do you think that 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:27.520 he knows too? You know, I know he's a competitor, 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:30.960 but does he and his does he tell Marinelli and 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:35.320 Richard hey play these guys play the young guys. I'm 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.880 not helping you here, you know, I mean? Or is 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:39.880 it or is you know? Or is it Sean Lee 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.240 is so prideful that they're going to carry him out 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.000 on his shield? You know? Can I have both? Like? 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.760 I can't let me tell you why I say that, 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.440 because I do think when it comes to his career, Yeah, 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:51.840 I think he's gonna have to get pushed out of 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.080 the door. Yeah, I think Brian would be like, yeah, 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:55.440 I think they're gonna have to push him out of 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:57.600 the door because I think he, to me, reminds me 0:15:57.600 --> 0:15:59.400 of the kind of person that loves the sport so 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.320 much that I just I have a hard time thinking 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:04.040 that he'll ever think I can't at least play a 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.000 role for you. Now that doesn't mean he thinks that 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.200 he's still the starter, right, but I think you'll always 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.280 believe I can tell play a role for They're gonna 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:15.640 have to say. I truly believe that he's a team 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.920 player the way he asks, so I think that he 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.560 would seriously do what he thinks is best for the 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.600 team and the way like during this time. And you 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.520 would think he would be threatened by what Latin is 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.840 doing right now and you know, kind of pushing him 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:32.920 out the door and doing and playing so well. But 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.160 it hasn't. Like when I see Sean Lee, I mean 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.640 he's talking to Latan. Their relationship is great. He gives 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:42.200 him advice. So it's it's something that to me, it 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:45.960 amazes me because most people would just be upset or 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:49.640 envious and not want to help them. Want that person 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:56.520 to do bad. Yeah. Yeah, basically, but he's absolutely different. Yeah. Yeah, 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:58.600 let's be honest. There that was that you talk about 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:01.600 a teammate approach. I'm not trying to slam Tony, but 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:05.199 I'm just you know, the the the urban myth is, 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:08.320 oh he helped him, he got him. No, No, what 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:11.440 you just described is absolutely right what you've seen from 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:13.800 strong Lee. I just wonder if, like you said, it's 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:16.480 being such a great team player, if he wasn't there, 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.720 if he wasn't better, that he would step up and say, guys, 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:21.280 you got to go with these guys, right. But that's 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:23.440 the point of what I'm saying is I think that 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.520 he would. I think he would defer to whatever the 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:28.240 team say, because I think he has a team guy. 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:31.040 But I do think he would believe I still can't 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.320 play a role for this team. So his expectation would 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:35.680 be I should be getting some snaps because I could 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.040 still provide whatever that role is. I could provide a 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:40.960 role for this team. And so I think he would 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:42.919 have a problem with not playing at all. Yeah, I 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.600 don't think he would have a problem whatsoever. Was saying, Hey, 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:47.359 whatever kind of rotation you want to get us in 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:49.679 get us in a rotation where it's best for the team. Competitor, 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:52.639 that's how you always feel. You feel inside that you 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:54.439 can't help the team and that you want to be 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:59.479 out there and do it. It's just that's the soul 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.000 by competitor Nick. He said yesterday Jon Smith said they 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:05.760 got three elite linebackers. Is he true or false on that? 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:08.280 I think he's false. I don't think. I don't think 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:11.119 that they're three elite guys anymore. I really don't. I 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.160 don't think that who's not elite. I don't think Sean 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:15.320 Lee is elite because he doesn't. You have to be 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:17.000 on the field to be elite. I mean you have 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:20.720 to do that. Like talent wise, that's great, but he's not. 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:22.880 So if you said elite talent, would you say that's 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:26.080 an accuracy? It doesn't matter. It's the same as David Irving. 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:27.960 I mean he's got elite talent too, but wait to 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.160 talk about him stam rail Cook and Crawfish. Hey, who's 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:32.040 the best player you've ever saying? It didn't do anything 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:34.200 David Irving, although he's back in the building. Yeah, that's 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:42.359 good for a big difference, though not helping people. He's helping. 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:44.320 So it's like a different kind of talent. When you 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.640 mentioned Travis Frederick, Travis Frederick, I'll give you that. I'll 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.280 give you that that that that helps, and I you know, 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:52.960 and I totally agree that Romo didn't help. Sanchez was 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:55.840 the one that, yeah, exactly more than anything with Dak. 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:59.080 But he's gonna help you get in the butt, did Romo. 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:01.639 I don't think Sean Lee's gonna have a prepared statement 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:05.360 and get up there like Robot didn't and kind of passy. Yeah, 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:07.119 but it's different. I mean, like we know this, I 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:10.120 mean quarterbacks, It's just it's different. You you play one, 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.000 you can play three. You can figure it out. I 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:15.760 agree with you that he'll he's out, He'll he's stepped 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:18.399 backward a little bit, but still have a run. He'll know. 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:22.439 I think he'll know too. I think he doesn't need 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:24.520 You don't think they'll have to push him out of door? 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:26.280 You think now. David Hellman said this other day he 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:28.359 thinks there's gonna be two press conferences this year to 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:31.560 retirement press conferences, um, and he thinks one of them 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:35.639 will be Sean Lee. Just just like I've had a 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:38.639 good run before they cut him for salary cap and 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:41.520 you know, but that's a tough one because he's you 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:44.040 would think he's gonna be like he reminds me of 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:46.600 Bill Bates way, you know, way back when a guy 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:49.320 that would just play and play and and and maybe 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:52.000 even play as a special teams guy. Yeah, just started 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:54.560 to be out there. I want to play the game. Yeah, 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:58.359 keep playing, Keep playing.

You already have one, right, different different lee. 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:09.119 But I mean, he's not going to go with a 0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:11.119 better spot. So who was the second you left that 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:14.600 wide open? I actually forgot it. I'll think of it 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:19.720 in a second. Alright, Well everybody's got to Oh yeah, 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:25.520 it's the center of attention. I think he plays. It 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:27.639 was a few weeks ago.

All right, we 0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:55.640 are back and let's talk about so many actives. Yeah, 0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:59.560 some of these guys that might be able to play 0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:01.960 and the ones that might not be ailable too. So 0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:05.600 let's go ahead and give our predictions and the inactive, 0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:08.960 starting off with I'll go with us. I'll go with 0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:15.880 Swaying Swing. I'll take Tavon Austin for five hundred. Mike 0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:20.080 White seems like a good guy this week. David Irving, 0:23:20.359 --> 0:23:24.119 Oh that's all. There's five. I'm gonna go with the 0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:29.360 Cubbington the linebacker. That'll be six? Is that right? Five? 0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:31.719 Or six? Five or six? With let's at six and 0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:33.520 I give us the last one name. I do not 0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:36.840 want to go with an offensive lineman because I don't 0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:42.960 feel like so you're keeping Tyrant smiffective guys play. Yeah, 0:23:43.000 --> 0:23:46.160 I think I want to keep They'll probably go Redman, 0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:49.600 but I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I'd go eight guys there. 0:23:49.800 --> 0:23:52.159 But where else can you can you get seven? You 0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:55.200 get what about talking not being active? You want to 0:23:55.200 --> 0:23:58.040 scratch him again? Well, I'm just saying though at some 0:23:58.080 --> 0:24:00.080 point I want to be not happy with Tycho what 0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:03.960 you know? I know I know about it. But they 0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:06.560 talk about attitude adjustment, They talk about a lot of 0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:09.679 different things to talk about and being hurt. Give me 0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:13.040 a rotation for your defensive ends. Give me, give me 0:24:13.080 --> 0:24:15.880 a rotation, give me. I'm so confused with this whole 0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:19.640 attitude thing that keeps getting tacked along to Tackle's name, 0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:22.280 because from my end, and it's not like I'm there 0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:25.800 all the time, it's gotten better. I've never seen that 0:24:25.880 --> 0:24:29.080 kind of persona coming from him. I've never seen him 0:24:29.359 --> 0:24:32.399 acting like that to where I would get a sense 0:24:32.400 --> 0:24:34.640 of him at having like a bad attitude or whatever. 0:24:34.640 --> 0:24:38.000 It's why world on the side of the building. What 0:24:38.080 --> 0:24:39.680 are some of the things that you've heard that it 0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:43.400 is with him? And trust me, I got a lecturing 0:24:43.440 --> 0:24:46.640 of because on one of my gut guts ones, which 0:24:46.640 --> 0:24:48.399 you absolutely love, by the way, a big fan of 0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:52.439 the game. Actually check that out this afternoon. And yeah, 0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:56.080 despite what Ambar says, you know, I think that, like 0:24:56.160 --> 0:24:58.600 I wrote that, I wrote one day that you know, 0:24:58.920 --> 0:25:00.879 expect Taco to be back in the lineup part of 0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:04.360 the rotation data. DA got a text later on the day, 0:25:04.400 --> 0:25:08.440 Oh Taco's playing. Oh I guess he's not, by the way, 0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:10.600 you know, I mean, I thought did Taco was healthy 0:25:10.640 --> 0:25:12.800 and all that, And you know there's some you know, 0:25:12.800 --> 0:25:14.959 there's been two or three people who's kind of saddled 0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:16.639 up to me and said, hey, you know, need to 0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:19.840 need to knock it down or rung or two. You know, 0:25:20.200 --> 0:25:24.720 and you know there's responsibility as a player, you have responsibility. 0:25:24.760 --> 0:25:26.760 You know, what do we do when we stand up 0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:29.200 and look at our desk, walking out the hallway or whatever. 0:25:29.440 --> 0:25:31.080 You look out in the field. Who's out there working? 0:25:31.160 --> 0:25:33.879 Sean Lee's out there working, Tavon Austin's out there working. 0:25:34.280 --> 0:25:38.119 You know, there comes responsibilities as as a pro you know, 0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:40.760 and if you're injured, you have responsible as if you're injured, 0:25:40.760 --> 0:25:43.280 you have responsibilities. You know. It's not just show up 0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:45.000 and roll your helmet out there and think you're gonna 0:25:45.000 --> 0:25:47.320 get sacks. And you look at what they've done at 0:25:47.359 --> 0:25:50.360 defensive end. Randy Gregory's done a nice job. Crawford's been 0:25:50.359 --> 0:25:52.879 over there. You know they they've got a little bit 0:25:52.920 --> 0:25:55.320 of a rotation. They could put Armstrong over there. Sure, 0:25:55.359 --> 0:25:57.840 I want Taco to be good. I mean, someone told 0:25:57.840 --> 0:25:59.560 me this the other day. How about this for a 0:25:59.640 --> 0:26:02.440 quote that guy goes, hey, you know what, why is 0:26:02.440 --> 0:26:04.680 everybody getting upset about us trade in a first round 0:26:04.680 --> 0:26:08.600 pick away for a for Mary Cooper. If you're gonna 0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:12.920 pick Taco, think about that. You know. Now, if you're 0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:15.639 gonna pick vander esh okay, you know, oh yeah, but 0:26:15.880 --> 0:26:17.399 if you're gonna if you're gonna pick talk, you know 0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:19.800 that that just shows you right there that you know 0:26:19.920 --> 0:26:21.679 people are if you're just gonna if you're gonna pick 0:26:21.720 --> 0:26:23.600 a guy that's you know, needs to buy in a 0:26:23.640 --> 0:26:26.760 little bit better to what's going on. Yeah, you shouldn't. 0:26:26.880 --> 0:26:28.879 As a young player. You should be doing everything in 0:26:28.920 --> 0:26:31.800 your power to be a part of this. You know, 0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:34.280 you're you're you're fighting for a division title. You should 0:26:34.280 --> 0:26:35.600 want to be on the fish. You want to be 0:26:35.600 --> 0:26:38.320 about there. But you know with the rotation, you mean, 0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:40.760 you got to make these coaches want to play you, 0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:42.880 you know what make it hard for them to say, 0:26:42.920 --> 0:26:46.879 we can't we can't have him inactive this week. You 0:26:46.880 --> 0:26:50.000 know we can't. He's got to play right, you know. 0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:52.240 And but you know it's it's really easy for me 0:26:52.320 --> 0:26:55.199 to sit there and say, what has Taco done to 0:26:55.400 --> 0:26:58.960 make me? If you know, Nick, you could talk about Okay, 0:26:58.960 --> 0:27:02.040 who plays center of something happens to Joe Looney? Well, 0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:05.240 I think you need Chris Redman. He's your Adam Adam 0:27:05.240 --> 0:27:08.560 remember Chris Adam Redman to be your center. Yeah, you know, 0:27:08.600 --> 0:27:10.240 I mean there's certain guys that if they had to 0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:12.360 go in the game to play, you would want them 0:27:12.359 --> 0:27:14.520 to play. Yeah, I think I would. I would stay 0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:17.280 with eight offensive lineman active. And then you asked about 0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:20.280 the rotation. I mean I typed in eight guys here, 0:27:20.320 --> 0:27:24.160 I got Gregory, Lawrence Armstrong and then Crawford at the ends, 0:27:24.600 --> 0:27:28.560 a Leak, Ross Woods and Red as your tackles, Taco 0:27:28.600 --> 0:27:30.400 and Irving or you're an active you could you could 0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:33.000 play that way. Yeah, Now, I don't think I do. 0:27:33.119 --> 0:27:36.480 I just think that Tyrone Crawford is playing as well 0:27:36.520 --> 0:27:39.280 as anybody on I broke the other day. Most underrated 0:27:39.320 --> 0:27:40.960 players on the team right now or to me or 0:27:41.000 --> 0:27:44.439 Joe Looney and Tyron Crawford and A don't know what. 0:27:44.440 --> 0:27:47.160 I love the way he's playing. Yeah, he's not just 0:27:47.200 --> 0:27:49.439 a big, jolly, fun guy that you want to root for. 0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:51.920 A damn good player. Yeah, I mean, I don't know, 0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:54.200 can get a little nasty out, ye like that. That's 0:27:54.480 --> 0:27:56.720 if you the worst. Mike him up because I want 0:27:56.720 --> 0:27:59.640 to see him talking. Yeah, I'm Betty, I'm I'm having 0:27:59.640 --> 0:28:01.680 a hard thing, and he doesn't. He probably just laughs 0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:04.960 at you, like in an intimidating way, like for dinner 0:28:05.720 --> 0:28:10.080 and rubs. So as far as the old line goes, 0:28:10.320 --> 0:28:13.160 you would just keep Safilo in there and then just 0:28:13.200 --> 0:28:16.879 add back Tyron Smith. And as far as starting and 0:28:16.920 --> 0:28:20.080 I want my backups to be UM seventy five. Yeah, 0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:23.520 well you got Yeah, you got flaming Connor Williams and Redman. 0:28:23.600 --> 0:28:26.120 It might they might, they might just go seven, but 0:28:26.200 --> 0:28:28.879 they might, they might just do that. But but where 0:28:28.680 --> 0:28:31.000 where What do you worry about? Because you really have 0:28:31.080 --> 0:28:34.680 to You can't put Connor Williams down because he could 0:28:34.680 --> 0:28:37.840 be well, you got fleming. But okay, now who's going 0:28:37.880 --> 0:28:39.320 to back up the guards? She's gonna be back up? 0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:41.920 I mean, that's there's so many things. Where are your 0:28:41.920 --> 0:28:46.920 bigger questions Sue Filo's ankle and Tyron Smith's shoulder. I've 0:28:46.920 --> 0:28:50.160 better protect myself in that area. Yeah, because there's when 0:28:50.160 --> 0:28:52.160 you're talking about a sting, there's a real he can 0:28:52.200 --> 0:28:54.440 feel great before the game. There was a real chance, Yeah, 0:28:54.480 --> 0:28:56.240 that you get in the game and just one hit 0:28:56.320 --> 0:28:59.040 the wrong way aggravates that thing, and now you gotta 0:28:59.080 --> 0:29:01.760 paybody in We've seen we've seen. How about how about 0:29:01.880 --> 0:29:04.400 Zach Martin? I know he's off the injury report, but okay, 0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:06.240 what happens something to Zach Martin? Now, how are you 0:29:06.320 --> 0:29:08.600 gonna play a guard? What are you gonna do with guard? 0:29:09.040 --> 0:29:11.040 You know? I mean you got Williams and if well, 0:29:11.040 --> 0:29:13.160 what if you sat when you can't sit him? Or 0:29:13.200 --> 0:29:15.160 what have happened? Something happens to Sue Field? You can't 0:29:15.160 --> 0:29:17.560 sit him? What Thompson does he have to play? Darius? 0:29:17.880 --> 0:29:21.280 See Darius Thompson could be an out? Yeah? Yeah, I 0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:24.160 mean special teams to show up. No, not really, you know, 0:29:24.440 --> 0:29:26.400 to me, I would keep all eight like Nick him. 0:29:26.560 --> 0:29:28.840 I mean, I'm I'm all for playing if it means 0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:31.720 it's going with three safeties and then having and having 0:29:31.800 --> 0:29:35.400 more defensive back. There's more cornerbacks in the field where 0:29:35.400 --> 0:29:38.480 they're gonna where they're gonna hurt you in this game, Philadelphia. 0:29:38.600 --> 0:29:40.960 Is the number of receivers are gonna throw last week 0:29:41.000 --> 0:29:43.040 against the Saints. I know your show probably did this. 0:29:43.800 --> 0:29:46.080 You sat there and talked about Michael Thomas the whole time. 0:29:46.120 --> 0:29:49.800 You didn't talk about anybody else. This game. You're going, well, 0:29:49.960 --> 0:29:54.000 they've gotten you know, Jordan Matthews. Yeah, Golden Tate they've got, 0:29:54.040 --> 0:29:56.600 you know, they've got and by the way out they 0:29:56.680 --> 0:30:00.640 got sprawls. I mean, you're thinking about Zach Hurtz, thinking about, Okay, 0:30:00.640 --> 0:30:02.720 how am I going to cover these guys? You know, 0:30:03.160 --> 0:30:06.160 Thompson playing is not going to help you cover these guys. Yeah, 0:30:06.240 --> 0:30:08.560 having as many corners out there will help you cover 0:30:08.680 --> 0:30:10.560 these guys. I actually brought up the question, do you 0:30:10.600 --> 0:30:12.440 think that this week they do something similar to what 0:30:12.480 --> 0:30:15.280 they did last week where they use some dime because 0:30:15.360 --> 0:30:16.960 they wanted to be able to put a corner on 0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:19.200 the running back. Do they maybe put a corner on arts? 0:30:19.200 --> 0:30:22.400 Do they consider possibly keep getting those That extra cornerback 0:30:22.440 --> 0:30:25.200 on the field will cover all the different guys. Yeah, 0:30:25.240 --> 0:30:27.479 all the different guys that you can cover. See, this 0:30:27.520 --> 0:30:30.239 is where if it's third down and long. You know, 0:30:30.560 --> 0:30:32.880 I'm not I'm not. I'm trying to give the last 0:30:32.920 --> 0:30:35.960 time you played of sixteen reception or the sixteen targets 0:30:36.000 --> 0:30:38.680 that Ern's had, Nine of them were zone, seven of 0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:41.760 them were manned. Okay, so you're you're got to think, Okay, 0:30:41.760 --> 0:30:44.520 where did he kill you? He killed you? Really playing zone? 0:30:44.920 --> 0:30:47.000 You know, now where you also have to know is 0:30:47.400 --> 0:30:50.480 this guy is a first down machine, like forty four 0:30:50.560 --> 0:30:53.680 percent of his catches resulting first down. Yeah, so you've 0:30:53.680 --> 0:30:55.800 got to figure out, Okay, how would I play him. 0:30:55.960 --> 0:30:58.120 I'm not saying take Byron Jones on him every time. 0:30:58.160 --> 0:30:59.440 I mean I think he got to mix it. I 0:30:59.480 --> 0:31:01.520 don't think you just sit there and let and let 0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:06.040 Carson Wentz sit there and go Okay, let's see what 0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:07.960 they're doing. Okay, see I got it. Well again there 0:31:07.960 --> 0:31:10.080 it is. Oh hey again, Okay, there it again. You know, 0:31:10.120 --> 0:31:12.440 I don't think you do that. I think you say 0:31:13.040 --> 0:31:18.040 Heath Whoa, Jones, vander Esh Okay, we're not gonna go now. 0:31:18.160 --> 0:31:19.360 You know, kind of you got to kind of make 0:31:19.440 --> 0:31:22.800 him think about some different things out there. And that's 0:31:23.480 --> 0:31:25.120 I think though, if you get in some long third 0:31:25.120 --> 0:31:28.600 and long situation. Absolutely you look at Zach Earns's career 0:31:28.960 --> 0:31:30.760 and if you think about it when Byron Jones was 0:31:30.800 --> 0:31:33.880 covering him, basically, you know it's like for one game 0:31:33.920 --> 0:31:37.200 in sixteen, four four catches. Let's go fourteen, you got 0:31:37.320 --> 0:31:40.640 uh four catches, five catches, three catches, no catches, three catches, 0:31:40.640 --> 0:31:43.640 three catches. That's in what that's what Byron Jones. That's 0:31:43.680 --> 0:31:46.680 his career. That's Zak Earns. His career catches against the 0:31:46.720 --> 0:31:51.720 Cowboys kind of in the Byron Jones administration. You know, 0:31:52.280 --> 0:31:55.400 he's he's the buck stops there, you know. But you 0:31:55.400 --> 0:31:57.200 look at the last couple. He had fourteen in this 0:31:57.360 --> 0:32:02.040 last game two two and thirteen. So yeah, you gotta 0:32:02.080 --> 0:32:05.680 figure things out there. Jordan Lewis one person on Twitter 0:32:05.760 --> 0:32:08.360 agreed with me. I don't agree with you on that, 0:32:08.880 --> 0:32:12.960 Nick Nybe. You put Jordan Lewis on we're playing basket 0:32:13.600 --> 0:32:17.040 where the height advantage kills you long arm guy play. 0:32:17.080 --> 0:32:19.720 I get it, But I'm just saying, if you if 0:32:19.760 --> 0:32:21.680 Jordan Lewis can beat him to the spot. As great 0:32:21.720 --> 0:32:23.960 as zachert is, he's a great tight end, he's not 0:32:24.000 --> 0:32:27.840 a great receiver, Jordan Lewis, he can. He's quicker than him. 0:32:27.880 --> 0:32:30.400 He can beat him to the spot. Now, if everything's 0:32:30.480 --> 0:32:33.400 up in the air, Okay, great job Carson Wentz. But 0:32:33.640 --> 0:32:35.280 if I want him throwing it in the air, if 0:32:35.280 --> 0:32:37.760 Carson Wentz, he'll throw it away. I mean he's not 0:32:37.840 --> 0:32:40.720 that accurate. Yeah, think No, the thing the thing that 0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:42.840 you have to worry about. And on the fourth down 0:32:42.880 --> 0:32:45.880 play that was short of the sticks. It was Heath driving. 0:32:46.120 --> 0:32:49.240 You know. That's where I would worry if you had 0:32:49.280 --> 0:32:52.360 to say, Okay, you got Jordan can tackle. Jordan's a 0:32:52.400 --> 0:32:55.840 long arm guy. See this is why I would disagree 0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:58.480 with you here, Nick. I would put somebody on him 0:32:58.600 --> 0:33:01.760 that's comfortable playing him. I don't know Jordan Lewis to 0:33:01.840 --> 0:33:04.800 me now, he's probably not comfortable covering Golden Tate because 0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:06.959 Golden Tate got him in a dime package. He missed him. 0:33:06.960 --> 0:33:10.160 Book out the gate. Here we go. So but to me, 0:33:10.880 --> 0:33:15.760 Byron Jones understands the play he's played. He's played this guy, 0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:18.040 he's played. He goes, Okay, this guy's gonna try and 0:33:18.120 --> 0:33:20.320 stick me on the outside. I've seen this move. I 0:33:20.400 --> 0:33:22.360 know what he's gonna do here. Oh he's tight split. 0:33:22.600 --> 0:33:24.400 Oh he's gonna run this thing to the inside and 0:33:24.440 --> 0:33:26.080 break it out. I know what he's gonna do here. 0:33:26.400 --> 0:33:29.080 I'm gonna play him and get somebody because I know 0:33:29.720 --> 0:33:32.400 sixty five percent of the time that quarterback is gonna 0:33:32.440 --> 0:33:34.280 throw the ball to him. Yeah, I know that, and 0:33:34.720 --> 0:33:36.520 I like that. All I'm saying is is kind of 0:33:36.520 --> 0:33:38.800 what you said this time it is Byron Jones he's long, 0:33:38.880 --> 0:33:40.600 he can go with them this time, and maybe it's 0:33:40.680 --> 0:33:42.680 Louis Oh no, no, absolutely, yeah, this time it is 0:33:42.720 --> 0:33:45.400 vander Eschi. You get hitting me off the line, So yeah, 0:33:45.640 --> 0:33:47.880 maybe like that. Yeah, I think that's what you're gonna see. 0:33:47.880 --> 0:33:50.880 I don't think you're gonna see him just get just 0:33:51.080 --> 0:33:54.240 repetitively get some guy. But I would say this, if 0:33:54.280 --> 0:33:56.640 you get into those situations where it's third and long, 0:33:56.720 --> 0:34:00.400 like you said I would in those instances, I would say, 0:34:00.400 --> 0:34:02.040 I'm gonna line him up. Every time there's a third 0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:04.160 and long and there's a like that kind of situation. 0:34:04.640 --> 0:34:07.200 I trust the fact that more times than not, I 0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:09.400 can get Byron the way he's played this year, I 0:34:09.440 --> 0:34:10.879 can get him to make a stop fall. I'm gonna 0:34:10.880 --> 0:34:15.360 say this. He used the number sixty five on passes 0:34:15.400 --> 0:34:17.600 of seven or ten yards or more. He's getting the 0:34:17.600 --> 0:34:20.960 ball sixty four point five percent of the time. That's 0:34:20.960 --> 0:34:24.319 where that Carson Wentz is saying, Okay, who can I 0:34:24.360 --> 0:34:26.879 throw this ball too and get a first down. I'm 0:34:26.920 --> 0:34:28.799 doing whatever I can to take him out at that 0:34:28.840 --> 0:34:31.600 moment in those situations and make him go somewhere. I'm 0:34:31.880 --> 0:34:34.240 gonna I'm gonna I'm going to keep him from beating 0:34:34.239 --> 0:34:38.040 me in this football YEP. I could maybe survive Jeffrey 0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:39.960 and guys like that. I don't know if I can 0:34:40.000 --> 0:34:43.600 survive zach Ernz. Sorry to interrupt you. I'm sorry. Ram 0:34:43.719 --> 0:34:46.360 kind of have a show going on. Sorry, sorry guys, 0:34:46.400 --> 0:34:48.440 but we kind of do have to go to break 0:34:48.440 --> 0:34:52.040 for some reason. Let's go to break and when we 0:34:52.080 --> 0:34:55.959 come back we'll finally get into game day predictions. Well, 0:34:55.960 --> 0:34:58.520 the player could look good on paper, it's when he's 0:34:58.520 --> 0:35:00.600 out on the field that you really find out what 0:35:00.719 --> 0:35:03.719 he's made of. That's why the Cowboys rely on more 0:35:03.760 --> 0:35:07.439 than just stats and scouting reports when building their team. 0:35:07.480 --> 0:35:10.200 When picking a tractor, it's why you should rely on 0:35:10.280 --> 0:35:12.879 more than just specs and features. You've got to take 0:35:12.880 --> 0:35:15.759 it out and put it to the test. The Cowboys 0:35:15.760 --> 0:35:19.640 did when they named John Dear their official tractor experience 0:35:19.719 --> 0:35:23.920 one for yourself.

David Helma was gold on. 0:38:07.480 --> 0:38:14.040 He just sent me, uh um, I don't know, yeah, no, yeah, 0:38:14.080 --> 0:38:17.560 I mean yeah, yeah, oh yeah, Like you know, it's 0:38:17.600 --> 0:38:20.719 funny because the Cowboys and Eagles last week. I would 0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:24.839 have said this, but now I no, I mean two 0:38:25.200 --> 0:38:35.840 Cowboys Cowboys David now Nick's prediction, Um, you know exactly, 0:38:37.280 --> 0:38:38.680 it's gonna be It's gonna be a good one. But 0:38:38.760 --> 0:38:40.560 I think Dallas is better, I really do. I think 0:38:40.600 --> 0:38:43.040 they're just a better football team, and I think they've 0:38:43.040 --> 0:38:45.760 got something going here and all this while two straight 0:38:45.760 --> 0:38:48.399 games for the Eagles, that's that's nice. Saints had ten 0:38:48.480 --> 0:38:51.080 and they shut that down. I think Dallas it'll be 0:38:51.280 --> 0:38:54.120 it'll be a tight game. This team is different. They 0:38:54.160 --> 0:38:55.960 have to prove it, and I think they will. I 0:38:56.040 --> 0:38:59.400 think they win twenty eight sixteen over the Eagles. I 0:38:59.400 --> 0:39:02.040 think they're better for ball team and they're gonna show it. Derek, 0:39:02.560 --> 0:39:03.960 you know, I think I think the same thing. I 0:39:03.960 --> 0:39:06.640 think the difference in this game really ends up being 0:39:07.000 --> 0:39:10.040 the Philadelphia secondary. I think that the Cowboys will have 0:39:10.040 --> 0:39:12.440 an opportunity to get some big plays on this defense, 0:39:12.440 --> 0:39:16.000 on this uh, this Philadelphia secondary, and because of that, 0:39:16.000 --> 0:39:18.120 that's going to get them a comfortable lead. Not only 0:39:18.160 --> 0:39:19.759 will they they'll be able to run the ball as 0:39:19.760 --> 0:39:21.279 he did the last time when they played them, but 0:39:21.640 --> 0:39:23.879 just their ability to use Amari Cooper and as we've 0:39:23.880 --> 0:39:26.080 been seeing, they're they're looking at Gallup as well. Gallup 0:39:26.120 --> 0:39:27.799 is starting to get a little bit more integrated into 0:39:27.800 --> 0:39:30.000 this offense. He's a big play kind of guy. I 0:39:30.000 --> 0:39:31.399 think they're going to connect on some of those big 0:39:31.400 --> 0:39:33.320 plays this weekend. I think Cowboys get to win twenty 0:39:33.320 --> 0:39:37.160 four sixteen. Gallup actually just a missed practice today. He's sick, 0:39:37.200 --> 0:39:39.000 but I feel like he'll be gonna be okay. Yeah, 0:39:38.920 --> 0:39:43.240 sickness is fixed. Sickness he'll be fine. Yeah, nice, all right, Brian, 0:39:43.360 --> 0:39:46.240 your turn read gut feeling. You know what in this show. 0:39:46.440 --> 0:39:51.040 In this show, we keep it real and we say no, okay, 0:39:51.360 --> 0:39:54.120 what is your prediction. No, I'll tell you what I think. 0:39:54.640 --> 0:39:57.360 I think that the Cowboys have the better defense, and 0:39:57.400 --> 0:39:59.040 I think that's what's it could take. One of these 0:39:59.040 --> 0:40:01.200 teams defenses is going to have to stand up and 0:40:01.360 --> 0:40:04.879 make and make a stand, if you want to say. 0:40:04.920 --> 0:40:07.480 And Cowboys played very well against the Saints. This is 0:40:07.480 --> 0:40:10.200 a different challenge with all the receivers and weapons they have. 0:40:10.640 --> 0:40:12.680 I think they've got the guys in the secondary to 0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:16.680 do it, though, I really really do. That's interesting thing 0:40:16.719 --> 0:40:19.520 in fact about this about the Philadelphi Eagles so defensively, 0:40:19.880 --> 0:40:21.799 when they face a team that rushes the ball for 0:40:21.840 --> 0:40:24.719 twenty two times or more, they've lost every single game. 0:40:25.239 --> 0:40:27.160 I think the Cowboys find a way. They did it 0:40:27.239 --> 0:40:29.759 last time running the football, they converted on third down, 0:40:30.120 --> 0:40:32.319 they finished some drives, they had two drives they went. 0:40:32.560 --> 0:40:35.960 They went seventy two seventy five yard drives in that game, 0:40:36.280 --> 0:40:38.000 and I think they could do the same thing. I'm 0:40:38.040 --> 0:40:40.080 with Derek on the score. I think it's going to 0:40:40.160 --> 0:40:43.120 be a ten point game, you know, if the twenty 0:40:43.160 --> 0:40:46.440 six sixteen something like that. But I think Dallas has 0:40:46.480 --> 0:40:49.040 the better defense. I think the offense is coming around, 0:40:49.280 --> 0:40:51.319 and I don't think the Eagles have anybody that can 0:40:51.400 --> 0:40:54.600 cover a Maury Cooper. The Saints put their best guy 0:40:54.640 --> 0:40:56.719 on a Maury Cooper and he was eight for eight 0:40:56.760 --> 0:40:59.520 on targets and catches. I don't think they have anybody 0:40:59.520 --> 0:41:01.640 that can do that. That will be huge in this game. 0:41:01.840 --> 0:41:04.520 But Dallas's ability to run the ball will be the 0:41:04.520 --> 0:41:06.880 difference and this make in this game, along with their defense. 0:41:07.520 --> 0:41:11.920 Nice yellow enough. No, the Colways got me hooked. Now 0:41:12.040 --> 0:41:14.680 I am hooked. I'm on the train. Both of my 0:41:14.760 --> 0:41:19.320 legs are inside the train. The earlier weeks, earlier months, 0:41:19.440 --> 0:41:22.319 I have one leg out, I one in, But I'm 0:41:22.360 --> 0:41:25.640 all in this time. I think the Cowboys will definitely 0:41:25.719 --> 0:41:28.520 find the way to win. The defense. Everyone knows how 0:41:28.520 --> 0:41:30.720 they're playing. I think they can do enough to stop 0:41:31.040 --> 0:41:34.279 the Eagles offense. Especially playing at home, is gonna be 0:41:34.320 --> 0:41:37.560 a fun game. The energy level is gonna be up 0:41:37.560 --> 0:41:40.719 to the roof is gonna be crazy. Only when the 0:41:40.840 --> 0:41:44.200 defense is on the field. Yeah, let's keep the energy 0:41:44.280 --> 0:41:46.840 level down. When the offense is on the field, just 0:41:46.920 --> 0:41:50.719 the public service announcement. Yeah no, no waves, no no, 0:41:51.239 --> 0:41:53.120 not when the offense is wait, say that for the defense. 0:41:53.120 --> 0:41:55.120 When the defense is on the field, go crazy like 0:41:55.200 --> 0:41:58.520 have fun offense. We'll see how many Eagles fans show up. 0:41:58.560 --> 0:42:00.680 They have a chance, they have a chance to kill 0:42:00.719 --> 0:42:03.120 the Eagles season. They do, they do. They have a 0:42:03.200 --> 0:42:07.640 chance on Sunday afternoon to kill the super defending Super 0:42:07.640 --> 0:42:11.120 Bowl chances, champs season. You got to take that attitude 0:42:11.120 --> 0:42:13.840 in there. I mean you almost assassin like is it. 0:42:13.920 --> 0:42:15.760 Go in there and do that. Can nine and seven 0:42:15.800 --> 0:42:18.040 get you into the playoffs? I don't think it can. 0:42:18.280 --> 0:42:21.560 Nine and seven Well no, no, I don't think it can. 0:42:21.640 --> 0:42:24.400 And I can't. I've seen eight and eight got one year, 0:42:24.440 --> 0:42:26.040 remember the Cowboys within eight and eighty and they got 0:42:26.080 --> 0:42:29.440 any cost. So it kills their chances to win the 0:42:29.520 --> 0:42:32.120 NFC East for sure. Yeah. The thing about it is 0:42:32.120 --> 0:42:34.000 I kind of want them to win some games if 0:42:34.040 --> 0:42:36.200 even if they lose to the to the Cowboys, Yeah, 0:42:36.320 --> 0:42:39.200 win a little bit. But I agree with you. You 0:42:39.239 --> 0:42:42.960 have put them put them away. Yeah, they're not winning 0:42:43.000 --> 0:42:45.279 the NFC East at all. If you if you knock 0:42:45.320 --> 0:42:47.319 this game. There's there's all these teams battling at six 0:42:47.320 --> 0:42:49.880 and six, the Carolinas, the Minnesotas, those people. One of 0:42:49.880 --> 0:42:51.319 them has to get in. Yeah, one of those people 0:42:51.320 --> 0:42:53.000 will get in, you know. And I think this is 0:42:53.200 --> 0:42:55.800 a year where if you would have played Carolina today 0:42:55.840 --> 0:42:58.080 instead of Opening Day, you would love to have played 0:42:58.080 --> 0:43:00.440 them in stead of the Eagles. But I could say 0:43:00.600 --> 0:43:03.600 just I'm happy that. I just hope they keep going 0:43:03.640 --> 0:43:05.799 on a role and win these games, because then I 0:43:05.840 --> 0:43:07.880 want momentum going into the playoffs. I don't want that 0:43:08.160 --> 0:43:10.239 Week sixteen. Oh, We've got to rest guys bit and 0:43:10.239 --> 0:43:12.440 then you know, I know, just keep the teams that 0:43:12.560 --> 0:43:14.880 have that every game has been a back against the 0:43:14.880 --> 0:43:18.560 wall game. Keep that attitude, keep that momentum, and you know, 0:43:18.800 --> 0:43:21.319 those are the teams that have success because they've been 0:43:21.320 --> 0:43:25.320 playing playoff games since halfway through the season. Keep playing 0:43:25.400 --> 0:43:29.040 playoff games in your mind. So before we end the 0:43:29.120 --> 0:43:33.840 show real quick, we've talked about the defense and the offense, 0:43:33.960 --> 0:43:37.320 both matchups here overall. When you look at the Cowboys 0:43:37.440 --> 0:43:41.600 versus Eagles, what would you say is the toughest part 0:43:41.640 --> 0:43:46.319 of this game for the Cowboys defensive front? Philly I mean, 0:43:46.320 --> 0:43:49.000 you still got to deal with Fletcher Coxe's that the Yeah, 0:43:49.360 --> 0:43:51.320 I think it's still gonna be that because at the 0:43:51.440 --> 0:43:52.560 end of the day, you still got to be able 0:43:52.560 --> 0:43:54.839 to block those guys up front. And those guys are coming, 0:43:54.920 --> 0:43:57.719 and as Brian said earlier in the show, cowboys give 0:43:57.800 --> 0:43:59.399 up a ton of sacks. That's the problem I worry 0:43:59.400 --> 0:44:02.719 about about Dak ball security in the pocket. They've only 0:44:02.760 --> 0:44:05.640 had nine turnovers all year. The Eagles they they they're 0:44:05.640 --> 0:44:08.160 going to look to create turnovers. How do you create turnovers? 0:44:08.239 --> 0:44:11.040 Attack Dak Prescott in the pocket. Knocked the ball loose. 0:44:11.200 --> 0:44:13.200 That's the way to do it. And they're bad secondary though. 0:44:13.239 --> 0:44:15.600 I mean that's the thing. They can't stack the box 0:44:16.080 --> 0:44:18.080 to stop the run because they're a secondary so bad 0:44:18.080 --> 0:44:19.960 and if they blitz it just exposes them a little 0:44:20.000 --> 0:44:22.560 bit more so. Cooper's got to get open, Gallop's got 0:44:22.560 --> 0:44:25.600 to get open. Decks gotta hit him, all right? Nice, Now, 0:44:25.800 --> 0:44:27.799 is this the first time that we all picked the 0:44:27.840 --> 0:44:31.080 Cowboys in this room? Maybe the Redskin I want to say, 0:44:31.080 --> 0:44:33.839 there was another game Thanksgiving. I can't see anyone. Did 0:44:33.880 --> 0:44:38.279 you all pick them against the Saints? Only one? The 0:44:38.320 --> 0:44:42.920 only one is proud of that one. Yeah, just quick quick, no, 0:44:45.600 --> 0:44:47.360 let me say a quick no. For those of you 0:44:47.480 --> 0:44:51.360 listening to like paying attention to what Brian has said 0:44:51.800 --> 0:44:54.719 about he's very proud of picking the Cowboys to win 0:44:54.800 --> 0:44:57.000 against the Saint let me just say this. This is 0:44:57.040 --> 0:45:00.440 what he said. My gut is usually wrong, so I'm 0:45:00.440 --> 0:45:02.680 just gonna go with the opposite this time. So I'm 0:45:02.680 --> 0:45:05.600 gonna go with the Saints. So there you go. That's 0:45:05.600 --> 0:45:07.840 all I wanted to say. That's all I wanted to say. 0:45:08.200 --> 0:45:10.800 No matter, but you got the best record of anybody. 0:45:11.080 --> 0:45:13.480 That's what I'm saying. I got the best record. That's 0:45:13.480 --> 0:45:15.440 why you should look at the gut feeling today and 0:45:15.560 --> 0:45:18.400 final thoughts, hope, So you're the only one who was 0:45:18.440 --> 0:45:22.560 a scout, okay, so I would hope you get most 0:45:22.600 --> 0:45:27.200 of them right. Well, sick, not lying. I'm the only 0:45:27.200 --> 0:45:30.920 one that went to jail exactly. You know what, you 0:45:30.960 --> 0:45:33.360 know what a true incident is that you're seven and 0:45:33.440 --> 0:45:37.880 five and the Cowboys. Amazingly somehow we line up. Then 0:45:38.280 --> 0:45:40.480 a game that Mickey picked against the Cowboys was the 0:45:40.480 --> 0:45:50.359 first Les game. Gotta show me that killed killed. Thank 0:45:50.400 --> 0:45:52.719 you so much Brian for joining us today. Thank you 0:45:52.719 --> 0:45:57.040 guys for listening.
