Speaker 1: It is our job today to get you guys ready
Speaker 1: for Cowboys Versus Packers that happens this Sunday, and that
Speaker 1: will be what we do throughout today's show. We got
Speaker 1: some injury updates, we'll talk a little bit about Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy and his return to Green Bay, and then we'll
Speaker 1: get into some questions. We got lots of questions from
Speaker 1: our fans. We want to hear from you guys. You
Speaker 1: can send us text message I mean I'm sorry, tweet
Speaker 1: us during the show if you'd like to do that,
Speaker 1: you can also call us eight eight eight eight five
Speaker 1: five two two nine seven. We'll take calls throughout the
Speaker 1: show if you have some thoughts or some questions for
Speaker 1: our crew. Let's start first with some injury updates. Coach
Speaker 1: McCarthy talked about a few players. Anthony Barr and Jake
Speaker 1: Ferguson both missed practice yesterday. What are we hearing about them? Right?
Speaker 1: I don't have any update on Ferguson on anything. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The thing about it, the Ferguson one, I got too
Speaker 1: late on that one. I was kind of concerned about
Speaker 1: and seek and stuff like that. But I'll reach out
Speaker 1: about the Ferguson one. Maybe I can get that one
Speaker 1: squared up. That was one that was kind of new
Speaker 1: to me. It's an illness. Yeah, and it sounded like
Speaker 1: from what well it was being said that they think
Speaker 1: he might be okay, but they've got a lot of
Speaker 1: everybody's you know, you lost me for a day. You know,
Speaker 1: if you guys were probably happy about that. But that's
Speaker 1: the thing at people at the FLU, that's the thing.
Speaker 1: I think that's what teams practice squad players. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of teams. There's teams in the NBA. I
Speaker 1: know that I've kind of following stuff that are dealing
Speaker 1: with this, and that's what happens this time of year.
Speaker 1: So I didn't see it as being a problem where
Speaker 1: it was a physical tissue injury or knee or something
Speaker 1: like that. It seemed like to me it was more
Speaker 1: of a flu thing. But but I did say he's
Speaker 1: gonna be bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so that's kind of
Speaker 1: that's a good thing. I the Zeke thing, I think
Speaker 1: Jerry I know, on the station on one oh five
Speaker 1: three came on and basically saying that Zeke is going
Speaker 1: to play. And I was talking to people about that
Speaker 1: yesterday and they were just kind of saying, it's about
Speaker 1: the stack end of the days if you can get
Speaker 1: him to have keep having days and the day yesterday
Speaker 1: was better than the day before and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: so and all that seemed very very encouraging as far
Speaker 1: as news on him. Yeah, with him, I do think
Speaker 1: you're starting to kind of figure out, just like they
Speaker 1: did with James Washington, about when to start a window.
Speaker 1: You know, this is this is whole month that you're
Speaker 1: dealing with, and you've got a really good team coming
Speaker 1: up here. With Minnesota. I think you have a tough
Speaker 1: game going coming up here with Green Bay, but also
Speaker 1: then you got Minnesota and then you got the Giants.
Speaker 1: You got to figure all that out and figure out
Speaker 1: what the best time to do that. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if all that is factoring in. They're
Speaker 1: gonna say it doesn't. They're gonna say, we're only focused
Speaker 1: on this game. But I don't know if you can
Speaker 1: do that. Ironically, I think they have it a little
Speaker 1: easier this year than they have in past years because
Speaker 1: usually they've been playing that following game after Thanksgiving. They've
Speaker 1: been playing that on Thursday night in the last several years.
Speaker 1: This week it's going to be a Sunday, so they
Speaker 1: get a little mini by there after Thanksgiving. I think
Speaker 1: that's even more helpful to them, just because it does
Speaker 1: give them that extra extra few days there after Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: rather than a seven and then you get the ten
Speaker 1: As I pointed out on media Mash, you know, Clarence
Speaker 1: Hill was saying that it's like they've always get the
Speaker 1: ten days. Yes, but it's not you get it after
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving rather than waiting another week before you get that break, right, right,
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's always it was always Thursday night on
Speaker 1: the road after Thanksgiving and then come back in ten
Speaker 1: days and play the Giants in the meadowlands. That's typically
Speaker 1: the way it has been, so obviously not the case.
Speaker 1: And they got two home games after Thanksgiving this time too,
Speaker 1: so you got the ten days both the next two
Speaker 1: games or at home with no travel, So it is
Speaker 1: it is a little bit change. You should smash. I
Speaker 1: mean you would think so, you should, yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 1: would think so. Yeah, but who knows me? Who knows what?
Speaker 1: Who knows what happens there Saturday. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know what. I don't know what's gonna happen with that.
Speaker 1: That's that's weird. That's a weird situation. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know how much coaching factored into what. And
Speaker 1: we're talking about the Indianapolis coach. I don't know how
Speaker 1: much factor that. The coach was the problem. So I
Speaker 1: don't know if changing even if he was a great coach,
Speaker 1: I don't know how much that's gonna change things right
Speaker 1: now that I think their biggest problem is the quarterback,
Speaker 1: So I don't know that's going to change. He can't
Speaker 1: play quarterbacks so yeah, we will see. Um, let's let's
Speaker 1: talk about Anthony Barr. He was he did not practice.
Speaker 1: Are we thinking he's not playing this game? I would
Speaker 1: say he's out. Yeah, he's probably the guy that's most
Speaker 1: likely to be out of anybody on that. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: would say that's the one that it kind of you know,
Speaker 1: they always talk about the game, the trending, and it
Speaker 1: wasn't trending the right way for him. Something changes today,
Speaker 1: but I just didn't get the feeling that he was
Speaker 1: going to be available for you. Yeah, And it's kind
Speaker 1: of you know, we always say on here where it
Speaker 1: always seems seems to work itself out when you're looking
Speaker 1: at a position of and maybe a surplus of guys
Speaker 1: and and so far, you know, you're looking at Daman Clark,
Speaker 1: Anthony Barr, and Sam Williams and they play different positions
Speaker 1: but kind of all, you know, a backup role that's
Speaker 1: going to factor in somehow. And they haven't had all
Speaker 1: three of them together at the same time. Last week
Speaker 1: Bar got hurt, Clark played a lot, Williams was out.
Speaker 1: This week Williams should be back, Clark's going to play,
Speaker 1: and Bars out, so they haven't had to kind of
Speaker 1: deal with it. And somebody's going to be a healthy
Speaker 1: scratch in those three with those three guys, and I
Speaker 1: should be putting you know, Fowler could be in that
Speaker 1: group as well. Is the expectation that Damon Clark will
Speaker 1: get his first start? Does he have to start? We'll see.
Speaker 1: I got Layton. Who else is a linebacker? Just depends
Speaker 1: on that. Yes, he's gonna play. I mean yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: technically the starting you know mcelan starts games when they
Speaker 1: go to certain you know how that works. But I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he'll be He'll be out there. That doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that he'll start the game. They could start in
Speaker 1: three wide or whatever. But yeah, he'll probably play a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna play quite a bit in this
Speaker 1: football game. And to me, as we break this thing
Speaker 1: down even further, I think this is going to be
Speaker 1: about which team can run the ball better and which team.
Speaker 1: You know, the Packers are struggling a little bit at
Speaker 1: linebacker for some injury problems they're having too. Here you are,
Speaker 1: you know with Barr, you know Clark last week or
Speaker 1: when he got the opportunity play, I thought that was
Speaker 1: really good on him. You know at first he looked
Speaker 1: a little lost. Now I mean I shouldn't say lost,
Speaker 1: I should say that he was you know, he was not.
Speaker 1: He didn't want to make a mistake. You know. You
Speaker 1: know I've seen him play where he just cuts it
Speaker 1: loose and he is a force. And I think that
Speaker 1: him going back getting that that work, getting all that
Speaker 1: work that he got. The communication between him and vander
Speaker 1: esh I thought was really good during the game, and
Speaker 1: he kind of got better as things. He got better
Speaker 1: as a player. You know, you take a week off,
Speaker 1: you kind of catch your breath. You're thinking like, oh man,
Speaker 1: I didn't think I was ever going to play football
Speaker 1: again too. Now I'm playing football again. And so I
Speaker 1: think that all boats very very well for him to
Speaker 1: kind of sit down, they get to work with him
Speaker 1: a little further. I promise you. In that Bears game,
Speaker 1: he didn't get any practice that week to play, I mean,
Speaker 1: to play linebacker. He's probably was doing a lot of
Speaker 1: scout team stuff and maybe one or two reps. But
Speaker 1: now that, if you know, you get a full compliment
Speaker 1: of that, knowing that Bar's probably not going to play,
Speaker 1: that can only help him going forward in this game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and if you if you go back and look, you know,
Speaker 1: of all the highlights that you can you can have
Speaker 1: of Michael Parsons, none of them is coming from that
Speaker 1: week one game his rookie year against the Bucks, like
Speaker 1: that was not a good game for him. Um, he
Speaker 1: looked lost might have been the word he even said it. Um,
Speaker 1: but he picked it up and then he did all right,
Speaker 1: he figured it out. And so that's what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: you know, from that position, especially with no practice time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, speaking to that point, you
Speaker 1: look at what Dan Quinn has done overall, and I
Speaker 1: feel that with even like the young guys, free agents,
Speaker 1: everybody coming in, he's done such a good job about
Speaker 1: like communication and just like even though it might take
Speaker 1: a few games, you know you see someone maybe not
Speaker 1: be as perfect as they need to be. But compared
Speaker 1: to when um, oh my god, what's his name, the
Speaker 1: previous defensive coordinator, Mike Nolan, Mike Nolan, I mean going
Speaker 1: back to what that looked like, everybody just was all
Speaker 1: over the place, didn't know what they were doing. The
Speaker 1: communication wasn't there. It's so impressive to see these younger
Speaker 1: players coming in and playing like true professional I think,
Speaker 1: and yes, they're not going to be absolutely perfect because
Speaker 1: they're kind of breaking into the game and all that,
Speaker 1: but the communication part of it, I think it's been
Speaker 1: pretty impressive to me in the short amount of time
Speaker 1: given to these players, the way that they've been able
Speaker 1: to come in, plug in players and play it right
Speaker 1: away all right. Based on and this is actually a
Speaker 1: question we got from a fan, Cody Cook, based on
Speaker 1: what you guys have seen from Damon Clark or even
Speaker 1: if you're going back to what he was in college,
Speaker 1: what can he add to this defense that maybe they
Speaker 1: don't have. When Anthony barrs in there, let me address
Speaker 1: that because I know him from my days at LSU
Speaker 1: and I've cheerleaded for him, and not just because he's
Speaker 1: an LSU player, but he is He's a physical specimen.
Speaker 1: When you watch him play, his ability to cover, his
Speaker 1: ability to play downhill and tackle. He's a physical player.
Speaker 1: He's a leader. You know, people gravitate towards him. He's
Speaker 1: always around the football. He can create turnovers and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. They stole a guy, They really stole a guy.
Speaker 1: This is a bottom of the first rounds, top of
Speaker 1: the second round type of a player if he's completely healthy.
Speaker 1: You know, he's a guy that could go play on
Speaker 1: any in an NFL team, you know, because of his length,
Speaker 1: his ability, to the power he plays with and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. So and with teams taking him off the board,
Speaker 1: you know that that did the Cowboys a favorite right there.
Speaker 1: So what you can have is when teams are going
Speaker 1: to try and run the ball and be physical, and
Speaker 1: I think it's going to happen this week when teams
Speaker 1: want to run the ball downhill, the toss sweeps, the
Speaker 1: things like that. You see, he has the ability to
Speaker 1: play off blocks and make tackles at the point of
Speaker 1: attack and not get driven back or not get driven
Speaker 1: off his spot or not knocked into back. So now
Speaker 1: there's a cut made and there's an even bigger play.
Speaker 1: This guy is a This guy is a He's got
Speaker 1: he's got excellent vision. He sees to feel very very well.
Speaker 1: But he's a guy that never comes off the field.
Speaker 1: He's one of those three down linebackers. You don't have
Speaker 1: to sub him out in coverage. You don't because he's
Speaker 1: he understands how to play coverage. He understands where he
Speaker 1: needs to be, and he's going to do a good
Speaker 1: job getting there if he can. Football is very very
Speaker 1: important to him. From everything I've talked to people at
Speaker 1: LSU about. He loves to play the game. He loves
Speaker 1: to be a part of He loves to be a
Speaker 1: part of the action. He can give you that guy.
Speaker 1: You know you got Mica that can do all these
Speaker 1: great things. Well, this is a guy that kind of
Speaker 1: does it over here at at another position. Yeah it's
Speaker 1: a linebacker, but yeah, it's still he can do everything
Speaker 1: you want an outstanding defensive player to do during a game.
Speaker 1: He's the fact that he's got the speed to run
Speaker 1: with justin fields. I mean that there's a highlight there
Speaker 1: in that game that he was basically he caught him
Speaker 1: from the from the side, I mean that was that
Speaker 1: was impressive. But also that player that does that also
Speaker 1: can play in a violent way. And he is not
Speaker 1: He's not about the BS. He's not. He's a he
Speaker 1: is a he is you know, a guy that has
Speaker 1: a briefcase, comes in, he takes his notes, he he's
Speaker 1: ready to play, and he's got that business like approach
Speaker 1: very important to him. How he plays is very important
Speaker 1: to him. And I mentioned this before LSU when he
Speaker 1: a couple of years there after the National Championship season,
Speaker 1: they were really struggling for defensive identity. They were struggling
Speaker 1: for players that were going to step up and make plays.
Speaker 1: And on a team that was always struggling to be
Speaker 1: five hundred, he was the one guy that you never
Speaker 1: had to worry about on defense. Everybody else, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know the corners that you know you were worried
Speaker 1: about guys, you never had to worry about number eighteen
Speaker 1: on that field because you knew that he was going
Speaker 1: to play hard every single snap regardless of those the situation.
Speaker 1: Are you worried about this weekend? Are you worried about
Speaker 1: any of your guys this weekend? Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: know I'm worried about I told you this before. I
Speaker 1: know you kind of just brushed it off. I've seen
Speaker 1: my dreams die at Fayetteville before. You know, I've seen
Speaker 1: him die. I've seen I saw mine die last weekend too.
Speaker 1: So there, Liberty is not Liberty's not a bad team.
Speaker 1: Not a bad team. No, but that's but that's the
Speaker 1: team you thought would be. You right, shouldn't lose it,
Speaker 1: should not lose it at them, But that that's you know,
Speaker 1: The sec is a as we say, a strange lady
Speaker 1: too football. The ball is a strange ladies football. All right,
Speaker 1: let's let's talk a little bit. I know that you
Speaker 1: look at the injury report for the Packers and it
Speaker 1: is a mash unit over there. Yeah, one stuck out.
Speaker 1: Stuck out to me, one player that has not practiced
Speaker 1: for them this week, cornerback Eric Stokes. How think out
Speaker 1: how much does that affect the defense if he's not playing?
Speaker 1: Because you also have Rosell Douglas. There's another one of
Speaker 1: the linebacker who's been limited all week in practice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the I think the Stokes one isn't out
Speaker 1: and Douglas is going to have to take his place
Speaker 1: in this one. And so that to me is a
Speaker 1: that's a green light. Right. There was Douglas the one
Speaker 1: that had the quote. He's the one that said we
Speaker 1: suck as we suck. I don't know that's a good quote.
Speaker 1: That's a good quote. There's a quote. Yeah, they asked
Speaker 1: of what's going on and he's like, we sucked because
Speaker 1: we suck. Yeah, let's say that's a that's very interesting.
Speaker 1: It's fair, but it's a little alarming kind of tell
Speaker 1: us a story. Yeah. They the thing about the packers
Speaker 1: two days ago when we were broadcasting then they had
Speaker 1: that really long list. It looked like a CVS. You
Speaker 1: know when you get a list from you know, you
Speaker 1: get the receipt from CVS and you wonder, what what
Speaker 1: are we doing? Yeah, yeah, Sequoia, Sequoia just got eliminated item.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I just bought mouthwash here. Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: You know, I can't image what happened. If you do return,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, it's it's amazing. But yeah, that looked
Speaker 1: like a receipt from CVS there. And you know, but
Speaker 1: they the first day that they practiced, they do walkthrough.
Speaker 1: They're a walkthrough team. So when they do the walkthrough
Speaker 1: thing that they put everybody on that list. I learned that.
Speaker 1: I was kind of like, I was talking to my
Speaker 1: guys up there. I go, hey, what's up with this man?
Speaker 1: Your team looks like, you know, how do you practice
Speaker 1: when you're down seventeen guys? It's a walk through? Oh okay,
Speaker 1: So yesterday I think there were four that were really
Speaker 1: that were key to this whole thing. So they all
Speaker 1: in the next day they all p so I but
Speaker 1: the whole thing with with with I think Stokes has
Speaker 1: played well for them, and I know that it's hard
Speaker 1: to say, but you know, when you talk about past
Speaker 1: defense and stuff, that is one of a little bit
Speaker 1: of a strength that they have. But I would I
Speaker 1: would green light this thing on on Douglas. On Rashul Douglas,
Speaker 1: I to me, you know, I'm staying away from Alexander
Speaker 1: the much as I can, and I'm very mindful of
Speaker 1: routes even in his vicinity, because what we talked about
Speaker 1: the other day was him coming off coverages just naturally saying, oh,
Speaker 1: I see what you're trying to do here. You're trying
Speaker 1: to run a route in front of me while carry
Speaker 1: another guy deep. I'm just gonna jump this route. And
Speaker 1: so Dak has to be very mindful of that. Just
Speaker 1: don't throw to an area thinking that that Alexander might
Speaker 1: not be in that area. He did say that yesterday
Speaker 1: and his Presscot friends and Dak he said, you know,
Speaker 1: I think one thing about them is they're very good
Speaker 1: at making it look like man and when it's really
Speaker 1: zone or zone and it's many, they kind of can
Speaker 1: go back and forth with that. And that's kind of
Speaker 1: what you're talking about about. A freelancer type guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: somebody that just naturally is a really good football player
Speaker 1: and reads it. You know. That's we've seen a little
Speaker 1: bit from Diggs. Yeah, Diggs will drop off. He kind
Speaker 1: of feels like, oh wait, they're carrying me deep to
Speaker 1: try and get me out of here. But oh, look
Speaker 1: at this crosser. Oh I need to step forward and
Speaker 1: make that play. And that's that's what you get a
Speaker 1: little bit with Alexander. All Right, we're gonna take our
Speaker 1: first break when we come back. I want to talk
Speaker 1: a little bit about Mike McCarthy. He was asked earliest
Speaker 1: week about his time in Green Bay and his exit
Speaker 1: from Green Bay got a little emotional. I want to
Speaker 1: know how much you guys like that don't like that,
Speaker 1: and what is there an advantage maybe that he would
Speaker 1: have have being having been the coach of Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: specifically for so many years and then going against him.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that when we come back. Dallas Cowboys

Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about Mike McCarthy this week. This
Speaker 1: is completely all unrelated. I just thought of it. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: The event just brought me back other things, other events,
Speaker 1: and I was thinking about WrestleMania and how you told
Speaker 1: us you were gonna bring some wrestler over here and
Speaker 1: he never happened. Did I Sally bring some wrestler over here?
Speaker 1: Did he not? I don't. He said something and then
Speaker 1: I we kind of voiced who are guy? Would be
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and from the rain by the way, um
Speaker 1: every night it never happened. Yeah, just like Bad Bunny
Speaker 1: played out. You went to Bad Money, didn't. Did I
Speaker 1: meet him? No? So you know, we gotta work better
Speaker 1: on these events that we have out of ATNC Stadium
Speaker 1: where we get to do a few more things. I
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna working in the contract when you
Speaker 1: get to meet bad Bunny. I don't think that gets
Speaker 1: put in the contract, but you know, you never know.
Speaker 1: You got to enjoy it. Yeah, it was a little
Speaker 1: dancing and everything. Anyways, back to McCarthy in Green Bay,
Speaker 1: thank you. Sorry. Let me ask you as a question
Speaker 1: then real quick, for this game more important to win
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy or Aaron Rodgers. McCarthy. Aaron Rodgers didn't get spurned.
Speaker 1: I mean, think about it like this, when you're when
Speaker 1: you're in a situation people say Aaron Rodgers was the
Speaker 1: reason why Mike McCarthy no longer has yea. I mean
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy earlier this week when he was asked about
Speaker 1: it and he got emotional. What he was talking about
Speaker 1: was the fact that his family that's where they that's
Speaker 1: where they were from. His kids were born there, I mean,
Speaker 1: and so to feel like your family, because that's what
Speaker 1: it was, they had a sense of family there. To
Speaker 1: feel like your family basically said you're not good enough,
Speaker 1: you gotta go. That's got to hurt a little bit.
Speaker 1: I mean for me, it would, And so I think
Speaker 1: it probably matters more for Mike McCarthy to go back
Speaker 1: and be able to I mean It doesn't change anything, obviously,
Speaker 1: but just to be able to show I still got it,
Speaker 1: I think that means something in And I don't know
Speaker 1: that it matters as much like that. Yeah, I don't,
Speaker 1: because when Aaron Rodgers stops playing for the Packers, I
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna live in Green Bay. I don't
Speaker 1: think he's gonna care who the quarterback is and how
Speaker 1: much success they're having. I mean, he got fired. Was
Speaker 1: there he said he was rehabbing his knee injury right
Speaker 1: next to lambeau Field as the Packers are winning, they're
Speaker 1: going to the playoffs and they're they're having success. I'm
Speaker 1: not super Bowl success, but they had success. It was like, ah,
Speaker 1: I see see that's why you could, you know. And
Speaker 1: it all was like justifying of why they let him
Speaker 1: go and so yeah, and he's listening to all that,
Speaker 1: his family, family, it's yeah, it matters mental and it showed.
Speaker 1: I mean that question was what do you like about
Speaker 1: Green Bay? And he lost it? And I do like that.
Speaker 1: I mean that's what he's real. He's a real person. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the thing. The last the last
Speaker 1: guy we had up there, he's a real person too.
Speaker 1: Like Jason Garrett now on the podium, he's not but
Speaker 1: he is. I mean he's he's a real person. I
Speaker 1: a person, but he what do I get what you're saying.
Speaker 1: I made him cry one time. I said some film.
Speaker 1: He started crying, Like did you hug him? I don't
Speaker 1: think so, but I think it was anytime was dead
Speaker 1: pass and yeah it was. It was at the training table,
Speaker 1: was about to get his food, you know, still dealing
Speaker 1: with COVID. Don't touch people, so I did. I didn't
Speaker 1: do that. But but my point is is that sometimes
Speaker 1: it's okay for the guy. I think it's okay for
Speaker 1: these guys to let their guard down a little bit. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're looking at me for my answer. I mean, is
Speaker 1: there anything that Rogers really cares about like that? No? No,
Speaker 1: but petty, he's that petty thought check Yeah, no, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I could see Aaron Rodgers carrying to the point where
Speaker 1: it's like if and there's a lot of people will
Speaker 1: tell you in Green Bay that that he was the
Speaker 1: reason why Mike McCarthy no longer has a job up there,
Speaker 1: and to and you know, to know that McCarthy would
Speaker 1: come back and get the best to him, I think
Speaker 1: would be something that would bother him. I think it would.
Speaker 1: You know, his team's playing not very well. We all
Speaker 1: know that, we all see that. You know that. But
Speaker 1: this is one of those times where Aaron Rodgers. I
Speaker 1: just people up there again talking to them, and my
Speaker 1: experience of working up there for five years, so you
Speaker 1: make a lot of relationships and there's people up there
Speaker 1: that are like talking about Aaron Rodgers isn't in a
Speaker 1: way of like, you know, he doesn't really care about
Speaker 1: anything and didn't care about this, care about that. You know,
Speaker 1: we can't make him happy, We can't do this, can't
Speaker 1: do that. You know, maybe it's time to move on
Speaker 1: kind of a thing. But they they they were adamant
Speaker 1: about like they were saying, what a bunch of bs
Speaker 1: Mike and Aaron, these pleasant trees that they're taught, wasn't
Speaker 1: they That's not the reality, you know. I mean, you
Speaker 1: say the right things and things like that, and you
Speaker 1: mean a lot in this, that and the other. But
Speaker 1: deep down inside, I think why Mike got emotional is
Speaker 1: because just what you talked about his life was Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: Maybe not the Packers, but everything good in his life
Speaker 1: that he believes in at fifty nine years old. Is
Speaker 1: his family and it had all started in Green Bay.
Speaker 1: You know, that opportunity that was his first head coaching John.
Speaker 1: You know, he got that opportunity up there, and they
Speaker 1: know and for a guy to take that away from him,
Speaker 1: they could say all they want about oh a great
Speaker 1: guy and hug it out and all this stuff like that.
Speaker 1: There's a real sense of I'm gonna get you Usob
Speaker 1: for this one. You know they're winning this game. I
Speaker 1: mean we're not. I'm not jumping to the cowboys. Boys.
Speaker 1: Of course, yes they are, Yes, yes, definitely, of course
Speaker 1: I think this is a game. No, go ahead, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I got a point to make what he's saying.
Speaker 1: But yeah, go ahead, no thought. No Americans say my
Speaker 1: train is gone, go ahead left. There's a tour going
Speaker 1: by two though, And this is like this little small
Speaker 1: little baby as you say, so Ob, And I was
Speaker 1: just like, do we have speakers? That's not what I
Speaker 1: was saying. My train departed for that? Okay, okay, no, no,
Speaker 1: that's not what it was. What I was gonna say
Speaker 1: is earlier this week you said something about he's not
Speaker 1: as good as he once was, and I started laughing
Speaker 1: because I was thinking, Um, you don't probably listen to
Speaker 1: Toby Keith. I would imagine who Toby Keith. There's a
Speaker 1: song about that, right, Oklahoma fan. Yeah, okay, And he
Speaker 1: has a song that says, I'm not as good as
Speaker 1: I once was, but I'm as good once as I
Speaker 1: ever was. And it's not really tough about football. It's
Speaker 1: not my other stuff. Yeah, but basically what it is
Speaker 1: is like, I don't I'm gonna have to be great
Speaker 1: all the time. Yeah, one time to see that's what
Speaker 1: give me one. And that's what he's talking about, and
Speaker 1: I and there's something to that. Yeah, for sure. This
Speaker 1: is what totally scares me about this game that everybody
Speaker 1: that I trust, that evaluators, guys and gals and everybody
Speaker 1: you know, saying, oh, Packers have this this issue, that issue,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, they still get that guy playing quarterback.
Speaker 1: You know, I've seen I've seen him rip my heart
Speaker 1: out before, you know, with the way that he plays.
Speaker 1: And so that's the thing that bother every you know,
Speaker 1: even when the Packer guys like high you know, you
Speaker 1: guys are a better team. You're a better team. You're
Speaker 1: a better team. You're playing better right now, your locker
Speaker 1: rooms better. You're you know, you're not hurt. You all.
Speaker 1: It's that and the other. And you're still sitting there
Speaker 1: thinking though, when it's over, if the Packers win, they're
Speaker 1: gonna go man. I mean that that was a tough game,
Speaker 1: you know that was I'm gonna think, Yeah, there's that
Speaker 1: quarterback again. I just we've we've had They've had a
Speaker 1: lot of close games Cowboys vers Packers, we have not
Speaker 1: played them with this kind of defense. I think the
Speaker 1: amount of pressure you can get from the Cowboys defense
Speaker 1: can be enough to keep him put as long as
Speaker 1: your offense is scoring points enough points. It's similar to
Speaker 1: what we saw with the Eagles earlier. You could have
Speaker 1: won that game had your offense been kind of stepped
Speaker 1: it up a little bit. And yeah, so that's that's
Speaker 1: the thing Rogers have not had to run away from.
Speaker 1: Micah Rodgers had not had to run away. With the
Speaker 1: amount of force and pressure that this defense does and
Speaker 1: the way that he's playing this year, I think you
Speaker 1: can definitely take a lot of advantage and just making
Speaker 1: cry a little bit. Yeah, yeah, you go home. You know,
Speaker 1: you talk about this game being like a lot of
Speaker 1: emotions involved. I mean, I think you can embarrass him.
Speaker 1: So how much do you guys think it matters. I
Speaker 1: know we talk a lot about players that go back
Speaker 1: to play their role team and they know that their
Speaker 1: their former team. I don't know if I put his
Speaker 1: much stock in that, But when it's a coach, the
Speaker 1: coach knows, because every player has drinks and weaknesses, the
Speaker 1: coach knows intimately what those strinks and weaknesses are. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how much of an advantage do you think it is
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have with Mike McCarthy knowing Aaron Rodgers for
Speaker 1: so many years. I think it absolutely helps. I think it.
Speaker 1: But that that guy, that guy had, he's had a
Speaker 1: career playing off script, you know, I mean when you
Speaker 1: feel like and some of the again talking to people
Speaker 1: up there, some of the problems that he has is
Speaker 1: that this current coach wants him to play underneath center.
Speaker 1: You know, he wants the play action game. He wants
Speaker 1: the movements, he wants the motions. You know, that's what
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's what the head coach wants. Rogers
Speaker 1: is like when he came out, and remember a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago he talked about we need to simplify things.
Speaker 1: Simplify things. Aaron Rodgers is getting a shotgun and let
Speaker 1: me just do what I need to do. You know,
Speaker 1: let me throw the ball, let me throw the screens,
Speaker 1: let me throw the underneath shallow crosses, let me throw
Speaker 1: the ball down the field. You know, let me manipulate
Speaker 1: the pocket with a little movement here and there. You know,
Speaker 1: that's that's the issues that they're having right now in
Speaker 1: Green Bay. You know that that to me that you
Speaker 1: know that that there's a real disconnect between the head
Speaker 1: coach and what the quarterback wants to do at this
Speaker 1: point in time in his career. So Mike mccurthy could
Speaker 1: offer a suggestion to Dan quinn about well, hey, think
Speaker 1: about when you're attacking him, think about this, think about that.
Speaker 1: But I wonder how much it really applies to today's
Speaker 1: football or today's football for the Packers. If in fact,
Speaker 1: the coach wants to do this and the and the
Speaker 1: player wants to do that. Yeah, true, I probably need
Speaker 1: some tendencies, you know, two minute off fantasy. He likes
Speaker 1: to do this. I know this. He'll always want first down,
Speaker 1: He's always gonna try to screen. You know, little things
Speaker 1: that he's seen because they've been in those huddles. I'm
Speaker 1: sure there's some things that haven't changed that much with
Speaker 1: what Aaron Hard count trap you with twelve men on
Speaker 1: the field, they have certain situations like that, and sometimes
Speaker 1: it can even be a mind game from the standpoint
Speaker 1: that the player knows that the coach knows, so he
Speaker 1: tries to alter some of the things that maybe he
Speaker 1: thinks the coach knows, and in doing that he gets
Speaker 1: away from things that God him great. Right, So there's
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things I think that can be
Speaker 1: kind of factored into that that may be able to
Speaker 1: make it. I think she's got the right point. Though
Speaker 1: he's never faced the Cowboys with Michael Parsons, with throwing
Speaker 1: it up with Treyvon Diggs, one of the best receivers
Speaker 1: on the field is actually playing cornerback for the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: you know, and and also the Dan Quinn the defense
Speaker 1: and getting after him that way. So this is this
Speaker 1: is not something that he's experienced. Even this year. I
Speaker 1: don't think he's faced I don't know all the teams
Speaker 1: they faced, but I think the Cowboys have one of
Speaker 1: the best defenses, if not the best. You made a
Speaker 1: really good point yesterday about how much do you really
Speaker 1: fear these wide receivers if you're the Cowboys secondary. I don't,
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. That's that's the thing. There's no
Speaker 1: it's not like you're playing Hill or Jefferson. You'll get
Speaker 1: Jefferson next week. But you know you're not playing Brown
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. You know you're you're not playing elite level receivers.
Speaker 1: You're playing receivers that are good, but you can cover
Speaker 1: are these guys. But the thing that worries me is
Speaker 1: I think the great equalizer for this offense for the
Speaker 1: Packers is Aaron Jones. That's the thing that scares me
Speaker 1: in this game because the one time when you needed
Speaker 1: to make a play to get off the field against Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: they ran the ball ten straight times and you couldn't
Speaker 1: answer that. That's the thing that scares me. Are we
Speaker 1: going to get into a game where all of a
Speaker 1: sudden it turns into downhill run, inside run, downhill run,
Speaker 1: downhill run, play action pass to Tuny in the tight end,
Speaker 1: downhill run, downhill run. You know that's that's where I
Speaker 1: were in the too Ambar's point. Okay, can you answer
Speaker 1: that is it going to be. You know it used
Speaker 1: to be with Aaron Rodgers. Is you would you would?
Speaker 1: You would? They would drive seven nothing, you'd come back
Speaker 1: three and out, they drive again. It's fourteen and nothing.
Speaker 1: And now you're down. Now you're down in your offense
Speaker 1: is a little bit out of whack. They haven't done
Speaker 1: that as well. But I mean, they drove the ball
Speaker 1: really well against the Lions. On the first drive, he
Speaker 1: just threw an interception. They've moved the ball on the Lions.
Speaker 1: They just they had turnovers along the way. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you this. You guys have convinced me that Hankins improved
Speaker 1: the run defense when he was in there in the
Speaker 1: last game. You've convinced me to day, Brian that that
Speaker 1: that Damon Clark is a guy that can be a
Speaker 1: beast for them. He really can middle and certainly can
Speaker 1: help with the run game. Those things being said, like,
Speaker 1: I don't expect to see what I saw earlier this year, right,
Speaker 1: My expectation is they should be better at at run
Speaker 1: defense at this point in the year, and I don't
Speaker 1: expect to see that the rest of the season. I
Speaker 1: don't expect to see a team be able to line
Speaker 1: up and say we're just gonna run the ball at
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can't do it success. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: the first game of the season in Tampa Bay, they
Speaker 1: ran the ball pretty well in that game. But most
Speaker 1: of the time, especially the Eagles, I think, and even
Speaker 1: the Bears. I think that the teams that are given
Speaker 1: them the most problems running the ball is with the
Speaker 1: running quarterbacks. Not only do they affect the yards, but
Speaker 1: they also with the with the play action and the
Speaker 1: and the fakes, they also affect the other runners as well.
Speaker 1: That the Bears runners had success, Eagles obviously did, even Arkley,
Speaker 1: and I consider Daniel Jones a running quarterback because they
Speaker 1: do RPOs with him. So I don't think they're gonna
Speaker 1: do that with Rogers. Rogers will run if you if
Speaker 1: it's if it's there, he's a he's still mobile like that.
Speaker 1: But I just think, I think that the run rushing
Speaker 1: yards are happening when it's the mobile quarterbacks and that
Speaker 1: whole running game. And it's unfortunately the Cowboys could not
Speaker 1: get off the field, you know. But I don't think
Speaker 1: if they're down by four and they've got the ball
Speaker 1: and they've got to get off the field, I don't
Speaker 1: think it's the same type of offense, because there you're
Speaker 1: not gonna be worried about him running and you're gonna
Speaker 1: be worried about the running game. Running backs, get him
Speaker 1: off the field, knock them down. All right, let's take
Speaker 1: our final break. Comeback gets some fan questions, We'll be

Speaker 1: open to the pub look visit the stardust or dot
Speaker 1: com slash Christmas for more information. Welcome back, final segment
Speaker 1: of The Break Life in s WBC Morgan's studios at
Speaker 1: the Star. Sign for us to get some questions before
Speaker 1: we get to our predictions. Let's start first with the
Speaker 1: question from Brandon Lorie. His question is how will Tyler
Speaker 1: Smith perform against someone like Preston Smith. They could be fine.
Speaker 1: The thing that the thing that Preston Smith that he's
Speaker 1: a little bit similar to what you have with when
Speaker 1: you look at Tank and a guy like Gholston that's long,
Speaker 1: hastability to rush the passer, but all it also is
Speaker 1: a really good run defender. And so what you have
Speaker 1: to be careful about with him is that when the
Speaker 1: ball is coming behind you, that if it's those reach blocks,
Speaker 1: whether it's going to be to the outside off his
Speaker 1: left shoulder, that he has to be ready. I don't
Speaker 1: get flattened out, you know, you try and got to
Speaker 1: You've got to get some push there. You got to
Speaker 1: get him turned, you got to get him pinned inside.
Speaker 1: But where Preston Smith can be hard on you is
Speaker 1: his ability to excen and keep that outside shoulder free.
Speaker 1: And when he keeps the outside shoulder free, it makes
Speaker 1: it hard for the ball to get to the outside
Speaker 1: of him or he's like you know, you know, usually
Speaker 1: when you get guys to get pinned, that ball gets
Speaker 1: the corner and now you have the back has an
Speaker 1: idea where he needs to go with the ball, and
Speaker 1: Preston does a really good job of extending and then
Speaker 1: getting rid of and then make him plays right there.
Speaker 1: He can also redirect, So long guy that can redirect
Speaker 1: really good run defender and a capable pass blocker, he's
Speaker 1: going to get a guy that's a really a complete
Speaker 1: defensive end against him. All right, let's go on to
Speaker 1: the next question. This question has dominated the headlines this week,
Speaker 1: but Joe Beginzer asked, what's the chances if you guys
Speaker 1: had to kind of percentage wise, what's the chances Odell
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior ends up signing with the Dallas Cowboys. It's
Speaker 1: a you know, I keep going back and forth. I
Speaker 1: don't want to get extremely overly excited because I go
Speaker 1: back to, for example, Earl Thomas when that whole conversation.
Speaker 1: I mean, different situation, different players, different position and all that.
Speaker 1: But it's still it reminds me of that when we
Speaker 1: heard it voiced by people from the organization, like somewhat
Speaker 1: an interest there, and then he dragged out, it dragged out,
Speaker 1: it never actually happened. So I could definitely see it happening,
Speaker 1: but at the same time, I could see it not
Speaker 1: happening and not working out for the Cowboys. So I'm
Speaker 1: I would like to give you an answer here, but
Speaker 1: I'm just like kind of seeing both sides of things.
Speaker 1: But that's it for me too. It's fifty fifty. If
Speaker 1: I have to give a percentage, I think there's a
Speaker 1: fifty percent chance that it happens, mainly because they really
Speaker 1: want to. I think he really wants to come here,
Speaker 1: and I think it makes sense and all that. My
Speaker 1: other fifty percent is the fact that we've seen this
Speaker 1: before and I just can't kind of wrap my head
Speaker 1: around the fact that Odell Beckham would be playing for
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. I just can't. I I just can't
Speaker 1: see it. I can't see it happening because it's just
Speaker 1: that would that would just be surreal. Did you see
Speaker 1: Teo playing here before you got here? No? Yeah, no
Speaker 1: I didn't. And you know, same thing Randy Moss too,
Speaker 1: though it didn't happen. I mean, like, you know, just
Speaker 1: he's the guy that caught the pass over Brandon Carr.
Speaker 1: He's not the guy that's gonna end up playing for
Speaker 1: the cow That's just but it's all there. It's all
Speaker 1: there for the table. I mean, I'm just I just
Speaker 1: don't have a good answer. I just think it's it's
Speaker 1: fifty fifty. Yeah, I would go a little bit more.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go in like seventy chance there, and then
Speaker 1: I'll say San Francisco with twenty, you know, and then
Speaker 1: maybe the Giants or somebody like that, the Buffalo with ten.
Speaker 1: You know. It's but I think the Cowboys this is
Speaker 1: I've said yesterday, this is a celebrity receiver, se who
Speaker 1: this is, and they've done a great job. I think
Speaker 1: recruiting him. We don't know what they're also doing behind
Speaker 1: the scenes. You know, this is going to be a
Speaker 1: matter of the cowboys being created with a contract and
Speaker 1: can they make it to where, okay, for this month
Speaker 1: that we're gonna use you or two months we're going
Speaker 1: to use you? Is it? Is it? You know we're
Speaker 1: gonna get you, Are we gonna get out of it
Speaker 1: what we need? And then going forward are you going
Speaker 1: to get what you need out of this? So I
Speaker 1: think the desire is there for the parties. Uh. I
Speaker 1: just think there's there's going to have to be some creativity,
Speaker 1: and I think the doctors are going to have to
Speaker 1: sign off on this thing. You know, that could derail
Speaker 1: this whole thing. The doctors could say, listen, this need
Speaker 1: is that it was a good repair. But it's he's
Speaker 1: not ready to play right now. I think there's there's
Speaker 1: from his standpoint, and now you're talking about from a
Speaker 1: team standpoint, it's got to work money wise as well.
Speaker 1: From his standpoint, I think there's five things for him
Speaker 1: that really matter, and I don't know the order money
Speaker 1: is one of them. The contract, the guarantees and all
Speaker 1: that stuff. That's that's one. Two then the team like,
Speaker 1: are they ready to win? Can they win? I'm not
Speaker 1: looking to go and rebuild anywhere. Three Can I play?
Speaker 1: Am I going to get on the field and play
Speaker 1: for Again, it's not in order for the weather. Five
Speaker 1: Grass and I The Cowboys can't give them all of that.
Speaker 1: Um Grass being the main can't give him grass. He
Speaker 1: forgot to add lights, camera, action, headlines. I mean when
Speaker 1: he's the type of player he's talking about, a celebrity player.
Speaker 1: He's that kind of player that likes to be, you know,
Speaker 1: the center of attention, type of guy to appear on
Speaker 1: TV cameras and interviews or say things like that, and right,
Speaker 1: you get a lot of spotlight being wearing that start
Speaker 1: right there. You're right, there's no doubt about that. He does.
Speaker 1: I did it go away when he went to Cleveland,
Speaker 1: though I don't think it did so. I think it
Speaker 1: feels like it didn't really work in Cleveland though, did
Speaker 1: it Well, it didn't work for those other reasons. But
Speaker 1: I'm saying, but, but but maybe maybe that's part of it too,
Speaker 1: Like he was right about Baker, it didn't fit right.
Speaker 1: He was right about Baker Mayfield. Yeah, about the problems
Speaker 1: they had, you know, with throwing the ball and stuff
Speaker 1: up there with quarterback Baker Mayfield can't get on the
Speaker 1: field last night. Yeah, well anyway, but see the yeah
Speaker 1: the end of the game. No, not him headbutting his
Speaker 1: teammates as they were coming off field in their helmets
Speaker 1: and he's got on a ball cap. He's just so extra. Anyway,
Speaker 1: go ahead. I'm sorry the pro I think I think,
Speaker 1: I think, yes, exactly, he's out this week. I think
Speaker 1: Nick is right about the you know, the the order
Speaker 1: demands or whatever you want to call him, you know,
Speaker 1: the required requirements. I just feel like, though, to me,
Speaker 1: this is one of those things that that this guy
Speaker 1: was born to me to play for the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: I know he's drafted by the Giants, he played for
Speaker 1: the it's a fit. It's a fit. And you know,
Speaker 1: if they they the fact that even I was interested
Speaker 1: to see what Ceedee Lamb was going to say yesterday
Speaker 1: as far as you know, because him Michael Gallup was
Speaker 1: on the NFL network yesterday when we were on the radio.
Speaker 1: These guys were talking very positively, and I think that's
Speaker 1: that just shows you where you're at right now. Ceedee
Speaker 1: Lamb could be very much like man, bro, I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to get mine. I'm just trying to get myself
Speaker 1: squared up to beat the Packers. You know, he was
Speaker 1: very comph That's my boy, that's my guy. You know.
Speaker 1: I think everybody has taken the approach of this guy
Speaker 1: could help us win. And that's that's with Beckham. That's
Speaker 1: really what it's about with him. He wants to win.
Speaker 1: You know, he could be he could be this diva
Speaker 1: appearance and all that, but the bottom line is all
Speaker 1: he's ever wanted to do is win. And whoever gives
Speaker 1: him that best opportunity I think, and the Cowboys do.
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys have got a great shot. You
Speaker 1: just look at where the NFC is right now, the conference,
Speaker 1: you know they got just they really got. If you
Speaker 1: want to look at this team holistically, area where you
Speaker 1: look at and you're like, I just don't know is
Speaker 1: that wide receiver position? Absolutely? All right, let's get some predictions.
Speaker 1: What do we think is going to happen in this
Speaker 1: Sunday Cowboys versus Packers. Amber, Let's start with you. I
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys definitely win this game. Yeah. The only
Speaker 1: thing that I have in my mind that concerns me
Speaker 1: somewhat is one weather and two yes and two um
Speaker 1: just penalties just and I mentioned it on yesterday's show.
Speaker 1: Just not going their way, the Cowboys way. That's about it.
Speaker 1: I think this team has what's necessary to beat a
Speaker 1: team like the Packers currently art right now. And I'm
Speaker 1: not concerned about Aaron Rodgers. I think the defense can
Speaker 1: handle him and we'll take care of business down there,
Speaker 1: um or up there, Cowboys win. I have something like
Speaker 1: thirty seven seventeen. M pretty that seems too wild, that's
Speaker 1: pretty wold. Let you know, let's bring it down a notch.
Speaker 1: Let's doesn't make it thirty seventeen. That's still kind of
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. But let's win. But yeah, thirty seventeen Cowboys, Right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. This game does terrify me because even
Speaker 1: the Packer people I know are saying that they're not
Speaker 1: very good, you know, And I hate that. I hate
Speaker 1: that when you know, guys and gals I trust a say,
Speaker 1: you know, we're just not playing well enough, and you know,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, they might be right.
Speaker 1: They this team, I just can't believe this team would
Speaker 1: lose six games in a row. But I think they are,
Speaker 1: and I think the Cowboys are. You know, they're getting
Speaker 1: their quarterback back. We'll figure out the defensive stuff. I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a will of who can stop
Speaker 1: who from running the ball. I just don't think either.
Speaker 1: I don't think either offense wants to get into situation
Speaker 1: where they're having to just throw the ball a ton
Speaker 1: in this game. I do have a little bit of
Speaker 1: a higher score for a running game, but I think
Speaker 1: it might play out this way. I went Dallas twenty six,
Speaker 1: Packers twenty three. Yeah, I've got a close game as well.
Speaker 1: I think that Green Bay can can. I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna give everything they have, everything they have and this
Speaker 1: when and and that's what happens when does you bring
Speaker 1: the star usually, I mean that happens, especially in a
Speaker 1: game like this. Um, I think the Cowboys are better.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna I think it's gonna be an
Speaker 1: interesting game. Some weird things are gonna have been weird
Speaker 1: plays they usually do. I've got Dallas win in twenty
Speaker 1: one nineteen, all right, And I actually don't think I
Speaker 1: think this is gonna be a game where the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are going to get a firm lead on this one.
Speaker 1: And I don't think this isn't the kind of team
Speaker 1: mainly because of the quarterback. I don't think this kind
Speaker 1: of team where, you know, we've seen this in the
Speaker 1: past where Cowboys get a lead and the team's like,
Speaker 1: we're still gonna run the ball. You're not gonna get
Speaker 1: this side of the run. I don't think that'll happen
Speaker 1: with this team. I think they're gonna be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: well let's start passing. And that's when I think this
Speaker 1: defense will be able to feast. They haven't been able
Speaker 1: to feast in a while because most teams just won't
Speaker 1: do it. I think green Bay will. I think Green
Speaker 1: Bay will give them opportunities, and I think this defense
Speaker 1: is going to feast on that. I think Cowboys end
Speaker 1: up winning thirty three twenty three in a game that's
Speaker 1: pretty comfortable win for the Cowboys relatively speaking. All Right,
Speaker 1: appreciate you guys. Join us. We'll be back on Monday.
Speaker 1: We'll tell you what went right and wrong for the
Speaker 1: Cowboys till then. For Nick Keatman, Brian brought us Amber Garcia,
