Yeah, we'll see what 14 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 1: comes of that. We'll see if he actually sticks around 15 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: after that. But we'll get some downlow from him. Sorry, yeah, 16 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: go ahead. I haven't had a chance to be present 17 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: in one of those walk offs. How different is he 18 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: from Garrett? And like some of the things that he 19 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: would say off the type of stuff those guys are good. 20 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: I mean Garrett was good in the walk off. Yeah, 21 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: he just Garrett showed y'all a lot more in the 22 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,559 Speaker 1: walk off than he showed the media or the general 23 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: public during the session. McCarthy does that too. Yeah, you 24 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: were there for the first He did a little dinner 25 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: lunch something with the media when they first when he 26 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: first got here, right, Yeah, and I know you came 27 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 1: to me and you were like it kind of cool. Yeah. Yeah, 28 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: he's just dude. Yeah, you know, but but you know 29 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: it's all calculated. He has to be when you're in 30 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: these press conferences and you get asked them like he 31 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: did today twenty seven different ways. Is that playing any answered? 32 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: He's pretty patient, though I've seen some coaches that get 33 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: impatient with that kind of stuff. It seems like he 34 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: kind of he'll throw a little dagger every once in 35 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: a while before the most part, he just kind of 36 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: keeps answering the question, even if he has to do 37 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: it multiple times. Right, yep, let's talk real quick, Nick, 38 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: can you give me a fifty it's episode number fifty, 39 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: milestone you got one? Mmm, let's just let's just go 40 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: with Sean Sean Sean Lee, Sean Lee. Yeah, I mean 41 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: there's some others. D D Lewis I think we're fifty 42 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: and we didn't get shan Lee on our show, but 43 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: he was on the show. That would have been nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 44 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: I saw that. I was like, you freaking kid him. 45 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: That's like, literally the only player that has ever made 46 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: me nervous. Really, yeah, he made you nervous? Yes, why, 47 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I have so much respect 48 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: for him, like to another level. That is just like 49 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: it was always intimidating to talk to him. So I 50 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: don't know. He was the only one though, Fredy An 51 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: Spellman was the only one. He made Nick nervous, make 52 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: him a little nervous, So yeah, yeah, he was. He 53 00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: was kind of scary guy made players nervous, right, Well, 54 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: there's some stories about the Lonzo spot. I know what 55 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: number did he wear? Ninety. We'll save that until episode 56 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: ninety because I'm there. I'll be a lot too good ones. 57 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: You can tell. Yeah, about about the time that the 58 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: equipment guys came in and he was in pregame warm 59 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: ups and he had his jersey on backwards and they're 60 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 1: trying to I mean, it just sets Spellman right across 61 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: the chest and they're like, what's going on? They were like, 62 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: who's going to tell Yeah, they ain't gonna be me. Yeah, 63 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: he's gonna roll out there with going on his chest. Wow. Yeah, 64 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: all right. But Sean Lee, you know, the thing is 65 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: is that it's it's kind of sad. He could have 66 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: been one of the greatest players that the Cowboys have 67 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: ever had and he still was. It's just that, you know, 68 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: the injuries and he knows that. He's the first one 69 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: to say it. But I mean it sucks because he 70 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: had really did have some bad luck. He could have 71 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: been one of the greatest defensive players that they've had here. 72 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: And you skipped over forty nine yesterday. Yeah, it's because 73 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: there's hardly anyone that's ever worn it ever. I mean 74 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: like when I was here, Yeah, they had a tight 75 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: end named J. J. J. Huggins. He was the first 76 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: player to ever wear it. Was he. So forty nine 77 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: is not a number of the right number. I mentioned 78 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: Lusaka's name the other day, what number, because for some 79 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: reason I thought I wanted to say he wore forty nine. 80 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: I think we did him. We did him like thirty nine, 81 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: thirty nine he was in the thirties. Thirty nine, Yeah, okay, 82 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: forty ninety nine, all right, we got a lot of 83 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: storylines we're gonna do. We like to do this on Fridays. 84 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: We try to take a big picture storyline approach to 85 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: what are the things that that we're talking about heading 86 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: into the games, the things that on Monday will be 87 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: talking about as either helping the Cowboys win or being 88 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: the reason why the Cowboys lose. UM. So, I wanted 89 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: to go through some of these storylines. And I think 90 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: there's no storyline obviously this week that's bigger than Dak 91 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: Prescott and whether he will be able to play. Um. 92 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: So let's start first with that. Um. How did Dak respond? First, Nick, 93 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: what have you heard as far as how he's responded 94 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,239 Speaker 1: to increased work that he got yesterday when he showed 95 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: up this morning, Well, I mean he he said he 96 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: was going to continue to push it. And that's that's 97 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: the one thing that we've seen here this week, is 98 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: that he's going to continue to do that. Um And 99 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: and I think that you know what he said yesterday 100 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: is that I felt better every day, um And, which 101 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: is that's a huge deal because I mean, when you 102 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: push it, you push it like that, you think you're 103 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: gonna have some setbacks. So it sounds like it's continued 104 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: to ramp up in the in the right way. But 105 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: I think they were starting to kind of hear, I 106 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: don't know if it's whispers or whatever, that there's a 107 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: there's a chance he's not going to play this game. Well, 108 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: they were saying that today he showed up yore. Yeah, 109 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: so I mean he's so good. No, it doesn't sound good. 110 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: I mean it's gonna be I mean, but but he 111 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: he said, he said yesterday that he was doing you know, 112 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: everything was good. He was moving, you know, in the 113 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: right direction. But I mean, you're gonna be sore. But 114 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: it's just depends on how much they're going to bring 115 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: it back and how much they're going to say, like, 116 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: all right, today you're not You're you're not gonna do 117 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: as much. Friday's a little different day because they don't 118 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 1: practice as much. Right, So, I mean, obviously soreness, the 119 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: question is is he sore or is it like the 120 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: payser pain from that injury, which I think are two 121 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,799 Speaker 1: completely sure things. If you've kind of been a little 122 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: inactive and just been rehabbing, and then you go out 123 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: for a workout and you try to push it, of 124 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: course your body's going to be a little bit sore 125 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: trying to get back acclimated. But that's the part that 126 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: I don't know that they necessarily clarified in their press 127 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: conference this morning. It being Friday, the game is two 128 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: days away, and it being Friday, and just by using 129 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: them and again, sore, you said, you know, you can 130 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: be sore, And there's a bunch of different levels to it. 131 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: But the fact that that word has even been mentioned 132 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: at all gives me a lot of concern and to 133 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: me personally at this point. And I hate to say 134 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: it because I don't want to see a backup in there. 135 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: I don't want to see Cooper Russia or anybody else 136 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: in there. But at the same time, I feel like 137 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: i'd rather rest him because there are still lots of 138 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: other games to play. So I don't I don't know 139 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: how you guys are feeling about it at this point. Yeah, 140 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I've said it before. I would have rested him, 141 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, it's just it's it's an It's 142 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: an injury that that I think can make it can 143 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: be worse if you if you don't get it knocked out. 144 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: And yeah, Michael Gallup's injury is different than you know, Dak, Okay, 145 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: I get it, but Michael Gallup missed what six six weeks, 146 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: so you know we're talking about him Dak missing one 147 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: because he probably wasn't going to play you know, if 148 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: they didn't have the bye week, he probably wasn't gonna 149 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: play that one. But still, well, if we're talking about 150 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: it now, then definitely he wouldn't have played that one, right, Yeah, yeah, 151 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna play it. Now, now we're sitting at 152 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: two weeks and I think it's fifty fifty, which that 153 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: also is what I think worries me a little bit 154 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: about all this is you listen to Dak and everybody 155 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: else that was talking immediately following the New England game, 156 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: and it was like, ah, he's fine, Oh he's fine, 157 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: don't worry about this, he's fine, And go through the 158 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: bye week, and then we get to this week and 159 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: it's like, well, you know, maybe maybe we want to 160 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: check and make sure that this isn't gonna be something 161 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: that's longer term. So I start to think, if he 162 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: misses this game, I don't think it's necessary. I won't 163 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: assume it's just one game. I will look at it 164 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: and say, okay, well maybe this is if you have 165 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: to kind of wait and see how this goes. Waiting 166 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: and seeing how it goes could extend beyond just one game. 167 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: It could be two games, it could be three games. Whatever. 168 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: And that's why when everyone says, well, you know you 169 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: got a longer season to worry about, I'm like, well, 170 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: do we know that this is only gonna be one game? 171 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: If we know it's only gonna be one game, great, 172 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: if it's gonna be a longer period of time anyway, Like, 173 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: that's when you start affecting the rest of your season, because, yeah, 174 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: you gotta lead right now in the NFC East, But 175 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: it doesn't take much to to let that dwindle. Right, Yeah, 176 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: you haven't faced the probably the best team in the 177 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: in the division in Washington, So I mean he still 178 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: got to play them twice. All it takes is losing 179 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: to them twice, and then that that changes the whole thing. 180 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: So now, But but the thing about it is, I 181 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: think he could probably miss this game and it would 182 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: probably just be one game. He could play this game, 183 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: though somewhat sore. You could miss, you could miss a 184 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: lot more afterwards. What gives you hope? What gives you 185 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: when you say you feel like it would only be 186 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: one game, what gives you reason to believe it would 187 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: just be one game? I think because we're sitting here 188 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: on Friday, and it's he's gonna be questionable probably to play. 189 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: So I think you give me another eight days, eight, 190 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: you know, ten, ten days from here, I feel like 191 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: you could probably play, you know what I mean? If 192 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: it's close here, I was thinking nothing but rest and 193 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 1: he should be fine barring a huge setback. But I 194 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: don't think he'll have a a setback there. They're not 195 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: gonna let that happen. Well, today, I was sitting in 196 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: bed earlier this morning and I just took a breath 197 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: and I pulled my neck and it's been hurting pretty 198 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: My point is what makes me wonder, though, because reoccurring 199 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: are like injuries like that, Like we've said before, you 200 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: can be fine and whatever, and then all of a sudden, 201 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: just a little pool just makes it worse again, and 202 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: then you're hurting now. So my point is it makes 203 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: me wonder, how long, like it's a period of time, 204 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: how much is enough for you toube absolutely be on 205 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 1: the clear, not worrying about it. But again, this is 206 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: the nature of football. This is what they go through, 207 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: this is what they do, and you can't just bubble 208 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: wrap anyone, so you gotta play at some point. But 209 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: it does give me pause and into thinking, Okay, this 210 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: is one of those things that it's not just the 211 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: bone healing type of stuff. It's just anything can happen. 212 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: All right, First, let's go ahead and take our first break. 213 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: When we come back, I want to ask you guys 214 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: a little bit more about Cooper Rush and whether you 215 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: think the Cowboys have a good shot of winning or 216 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 1: even a shot of winning with Cooper Rush at quarterback. 217 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that when we come right back.

You give me 263 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: anything good? Just well, I mean, obviously I heard what 264 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: y'all were talking about when I came in, and funds 265 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: probably not the right word so I'll say this is 266 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: just a really unique circumstance where what do we talk 267 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: about all the time, where we're like, what does he 268 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,959 Speaker 1: do on Wednesday? What does he do on Thursday? And 269 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: by Friday morning, you usually have a pretty good feel 270 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: one way or the other. I don't think they do. Um. 271 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: I think this is going to go right up to 272 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: tomorrow and Nick behind the curtain. We should probably maybe 273 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: get some things ready one way or the other, because 274 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: I bet we'll be on some runways somewhere. We're gonna 275 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: write two stories and just have you ready. It might 276 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: not be a bad idea, I really, I think this 277 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: is a rare circumstance where they don't know what's going 278 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: to happen with Dak but and they won't know until 279 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: I do. I think they're gonna make a decision tomorrow 280 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: one way or the other. So you think by the 281 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: time we're gonna play, they're gonna have aen I mean, 282 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they're gonna put out a press release, 283 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: but inside the organization, I think they're gonna know if 284 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: he plays by tomorrow when they leave to go to Minnesota. 285 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: I think so. So you're saying you don't think they'll 286 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: take him. No, No, I just think he can be there. Yeah, 287 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, Like like, I don't think we'll 288 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: know anything tomorrow, Tomorrow, Saturday. I think it will be 289 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: oh no, no no. And I think the thing is, I 290 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: probably agree with you. They may not let us know, 291 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: but I think they would, Davids saying he thinks they 292 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: will know that I make a decision, think they will know. 293 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: But you might be right, But I don't know decisions 294 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: like that, you know, MVP caliber quarterback playing or not playing. 295 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,239 Speaker 1: I mean that that seems like something that'll get out. 296 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: That seems like something that will leak somewhere to someone, 297 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: whether it's us, whether it's Todd Archer with ESPN, whether 298 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: it's the Dallas Morning, whether it'll be pre game on 299 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: Sunday game. He's out there stretching his hit. I would 300 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: be shocked if we make it even to like when 301 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: we're getting dressed to go to the games, a night game. Yeah, yeah, 302 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: I think I maybe maybe you're right, Maybe it won't 303 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: come out tomorrow, But my favorite, my favorite game is 304 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: watch Schefter and Rappaport do their Sunday night news dumps 305 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: or Saturday night news dumps. If you're still awake at 306 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: like one am on Saturday night, just go take a 307 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: look at their Twitter pages because they've been saving up 308 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: nuggets all week and they just start bombarding the internet 309 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: with their news and yeah that late Saturday night early 310 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: Sunday morning. I just there's no way we get to 311 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: game anywhere near a game time without this being out there. Yeah. 312 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: My only thing that would be if they're gonna actually 313 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: put them on the field and just and he's like 314 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: truly a game time decision, Like he truly is a 315 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: get on the cords, see how how are you feeling today? Like, 316 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: because because yes, you know today tomorrow, none of that 317 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: really matters until how are you feeling? Then? So I 318 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: wonder if if it really will be a true game 319 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: time decision. But let me ask you, is it really 320 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: with this injury? Is it one of those things where 321 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: you're more concerned about the after effects than you are 322 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: about how you feel in the moment. Right, That's where 323 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: I'm wondering, Like, that's where to me, it probably isn't 324 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: a game time decision because you know, he could feel 325 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: great that night. It's more about, hey, do we think 326 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: it's healed? Enough to where he can't well, But what 327 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: have we been doing all week? Then? I think they're 328 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: trying to figure out I'm sorry, but Gala didn't do 329 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: that in week two, week three. I get it. But 330 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: the way they've talked about this is they're trying to 331 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 1: make sure that this is not something that he can 332 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: reinjure in a significant way to make him miss future weeks. 333 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: And so my thought is it's not necessarily about how 334 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: he feels in the moment as much as other things 335 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: that they look at to diagnose. And again, the medical 336 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: trainers would know what those if that's true, than they 337 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: already do know. Ye, well, they'll know about tomorrow, right, Yeah, 338 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: I mean you got I mean they might. I don't 339 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: get the sense that they do. And you gotta like, 340 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: I'm still adapting to this, like Mike McCarthy runs his 341 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: week differently than Jason Garrett did. I think in the 342 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,959 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett regime they would know because Thursdays the all 343 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: encompassing day, and Fridays this is like it's certainly not 344 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: a day off. I'm not trying to frame it that way, 345 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: but it's a region day, like this is the day 346 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: where you get off the field, and you get right, 347 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: they technically practice tomorrow. It's more of they kind of 348 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: ramp back up. Yeah, it's more of a walkthrough, but 349 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: like they get on the field and do football stuff 350 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: on Saturday before they leave, which Jason Garrett, Now, I 351 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: mean they did walk throughs, but it wasn't like that. 352 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 1: So Saturday is much more important for this regime than 353 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: it was for the last one, and so I think 354 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: they will leave it till tomorrow one way or the other. 355 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: So that all being said, let's assume for a second 356 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: that Dak Prescott cannot play. What's your level of confidence 357 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: that Cooper Rush in what will be his first start 358 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 1: in the NFL, He's only had three pass attempts and 359 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: only one pass completion for two yards. What's your belief 360 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: that he can actually lead this team to a win 361 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: in Minnesota on Sunday night? Well, were we picking games yet? 362 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: It's about the time. No, no no, no, no no, no no. 363 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: I'm just saying because because when we pick the games, 364 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to We're not gonna qualify. We're just 365 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: gonna say here's what I think is gonna happen as 366 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: far as win loss, which will have to encompass in 367 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: something in your mind who you think is going to 368 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: be the quarterback. So I'm just asking about what your 369 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: faith is in Cooper Rush in this situation. Yeah, That's 370 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: why it's kind of hard for me to go there, 371 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: because my answer was not going to be different regardless 372 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: of who the quarterback kid is. Um. But wow, yeah, 373 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: I'll just say it right now. Well you told you 374 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: told me, I already know what. It's a hell. I mean, 375 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 1: I picked a loss that they're gonna I think they're 376 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: gonna lose Sunday night, and that doesn't matter if Dak 377 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: plays or Cooper Rush plays. I was gonna pick a 378 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: loss here. So it might be what is happening? Why 379 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: are we What is going on with you and me 380 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: this year? I don't know. I just feel like I 381 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: just feel like, well you told me that too. Well, 382 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: I've had I have, I've had a feeling all week. 383 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: I will say, if you could tell me right now 384 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 1: that there's a one hundred percent chance that Dak will 385 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: play and look like Dak, I would pick a win. Yeah, 386 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: but it's way too big of an if right now. 387 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 1: And then you factor in the part where he might 388 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna have even if he plays, they're gonna have 389 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 1: to change the game plan, like they will call it 390 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: differently than if he was fully healthy. So without Coop, 391 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: So with Cooper Rush, you guys are saying, there's right, 392 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: you don't have any That's why I want to be 393 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 1: fair to him, because I was. I don't I don't 394 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: see them coming away with a win anyway, so I 395 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,239 Speaker 1: certainly don't think so why is that though? I mean, 396 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: this is a team that you I mean, I know 397 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: that Minnesota presents some unique challenges, but they're three and three, 398 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 1: they're not unbeatable, and you got a Dallas team that 399 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: is playing extremely well. So what makes you why Why 400 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 1: were you so like sold in fact that this is 401 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: going to be a nail for them? I just because 402 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: they've been playing with fire and usually when you do, 403 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: you get burned. I mean, like they've had three road 404 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: games this year, They've all come down to the last 405 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: field goal of the game. They've won two of them. 406 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: But I mean, I just feel like this is probably 407 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: a situation where coming off of buy though I see 408 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: them not winning this game, is it a tough place 409 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: to play? It's more of a gut field for you. 410 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: Just like you just kind of feel that's kind of 411 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: what Davis saying. I mean, like you know the Cardinals that, 412 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: but you're gonna lose. I mean, you have a loss 413 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: at some point, what you know waiting for you. I 414 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: make most of my decisions just like using the law 415 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: of averages. This is an insanely hard even league. The 416 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: vat like twenty six. The thirty two teams are within 417 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: a touchdown of each other on any given day. It's 418 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: one of the hardest environments to play in the league. 419 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: I think they're better than their record indicates they are. 420 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: They pushed Cincinnati and Arizona to the brink and lost 421 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: those games. That's two of their three, and the other 422 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: guys get paid too. It's really it's as simple as that, 423 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: and it's not. It's rare, even unless you're the Belichick 424 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: Brady Patriots. It's rare, rare to win more than like 425 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: five games in a row like that gets broken. I'm 426 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: just on an amazing streak that this is just the 427 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: law of averages. Is they're gonna lose here? Yeah, I mean, 428 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: Nick is perfectly right. Everybody's like, how good luck, Aaron Rodgers, 429 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: How are you gonna win this with none of your 430 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: receivers going on the road against the only under five teams. 431 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: Oh they won, Yeah, they won because it's the NFL 432 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: and that's what happened. Soon as you're convinced of something, 433 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,479 Speaker 1: it will flip on you. Yeah, no doubt. It's it's 434 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: screw the law of average. There we go, screw the law. 435 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 1: Thank you. Would have picked the Cowboys to win, definitely 436 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: not picking them With this Dak situation, I don't feel comfortable. 437 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: Even if he plays, I'm still kind of feel I 438 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: don't think he would be able to be himself. But 439 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 1: you know what, they have a quarterback, backup quarterback. I'm sorry, 440 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: it's just it's not working for me. So we haven't 441 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 1: actually answered your question. I don't want to dog Cooper rush, 442 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys run game is powerful enough, their line 443 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: is good enough, and Minnesota's run defense is not a 444 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: great run defense. I can see a path to victory. 445 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: I can see it. Cooper makes You got to make 446 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: three to five great throws. Your receivers can help you 447 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: with that. The line's got to control the game. You 448 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: gotta pound the rock. It would have to be like 449 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty or more rushing yards type of 450 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: night I see it, and then then whatever you get 451 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: from the defense, some takeaways would be nice. It would 452 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: just it would be hard for me to even hope 453 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 1: for that, let alone expect it. He's thrown three passes 454 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: in his career in the regular season. They were all 455 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: in garbage time of blowouts. And Minnesota is a good 456 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: team at Daniel Hunter, Everson Griffin looks like himself again, 457 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: Dalvin Tomlinson. I mean, go down the list of their defense, 458 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: and then obviously the Minnesota's offense is much more at 459 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: full capacity with all their guys available to them. I 460 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: just I can see it. But I have your contacting Yeah, 461 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: why because like you're saying, I see things. I keep saying, 462 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: you're seeing stuff out all if I didn't have my 463 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: contact and I wouldn't be able to see anything. So 464 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: all right, let's take our final break, let's come back. 465 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: We got a couple more storylines I want to hit 466 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: before we end the show.

Live from the s WBC Mortgage Studios at 517 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 1: the Star. The other big, I guess storyline around this 518 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: game is the offensive line. You got Lyle Collins returning, 519 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: but you don't know whether he's playing. You don't know 520 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: where he's gonna be playing. Here's my question for you guys, 521 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: if you had to going into this game, um, and 522 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: and you can factor in if you think Dak's gonna 523 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: play or not, what do you think is the optimal 524 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 1: offensive line line up for this week? I think, you 525 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: know what, I don't feel bad about picking the loss here. 526 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: You don't know who the health quarterback is going to be. 527 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: You don't know who the left guard is gonna be. 528 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: You don't know who the right well, you do they do? 529 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: I think they know the offensive line. You can't convince 530 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: me they don't know what they're gonna do with the 531 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: offensive line. Well, they're not picking my gut feeling. I'm 532 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: thinking it, so I don't point. So that's why this is. 533 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: I don't think it'll change this week. Yeah, I don't 534 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 1: think it's exact same as it's been. I think it'll 535 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: be the same five we've seen since Lyle got some 536 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: right decision. Yeah right now, I think I think I 537 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: think Connor is getting dogged, not unfairly. He was. He 538 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: had a rough night against New England, but that was 539 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: really the lone outlier. But I do. I mean, Lyle's 540 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: playing guard to spur him. They're like, yeah, that is 541 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: the that's the weakness on the line right now. And 542 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: I think Lyle's taking reps over there to foster competition. 543 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: I think it'll be the same. But if he doesn't 544 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 1: pick it up, I think Lyle will be the left 545 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: guard next week or maybe even at some point in 546 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: this game. If Connor struggles, I think he'll play his 547 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: best game. Connor O Connor. I haven't feeling he will, 548 00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: just you know, that's how the stuff. That's that's why 549 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: you do this stuff. Like ideally, I mean Lyle Collins 550 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: wants to play, but the coaching staff wants to light 551 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: a fire under him and have him pissed off and 552 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: play great. Yeah, that's what I think. And I think 553 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: Terren Steel is the starter in the right tackle. I 554 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 1: think that they just don't want to mess with that. 555 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: I don't think it's even a question. So let me 556 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: throw this option at you guys, looking at the fact 557 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: that if Dak doesn't play. We talked about the running game. 558 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: We talked about the fact that Minnesota doesn't have a 559 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 1: great run defense. Do you think that there is an 560 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: advantage to a guy like Lyle Collins at left guard 561 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 1: because he's more powerful, You probably can get a little 562 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: more out of your running games, certainly in short yardage. 563 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: You would think with him and Tiring there together, you 564 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: could really really get some push, which is something they 565 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: haven't been able to get. Do you think this is 566 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: actually a week where it makes more sense, maybe more 567 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: so than other weeks for them to maybe make that change, 568 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: especially maybe I like where you're going, especially if Cooper 569 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: Rush has to play, because you're to some degree you're 570 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: going to be telegraphing your game plan. You just to 571 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: take the ball out of the quarterback's hand and then 572 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: his bullyball. So you got to be able to line 573 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: up and just say we're gonna run the ball, and 574 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: you can't stop us if Cooper Rush plays. I see 575 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: the validity of that. I don't know. I like I said, 576 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: I lean toward thinking Connor is going to start this 577 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: game regardless. But but we'll see da Dak said he 578 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: had his best practice as a pro yesterday. Oh lil wow. 579 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: I mean at what position? I had a good question. 580 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: Probably both. Honestly, they're all and they're also tight like 581 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: their homies. So, um, I don't I don't know, I 582 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: would assume. So yeah, what I mean he did. It 583 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: wasn't like he would out to say this is what 584 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: Dax has been saying, Like it's just that's his boy. 585 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: Like Actually, Dak said he was asked about the testimony 586 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: and he was like, yeah, I'm basically I said what 587 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: I said. Maybe I'd prefer for that not to have 588 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: been made public, but I'm trying to help my buddy out. Yeah. 589 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: So I the thing is is, you know, Zack Martin 590 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: doesn't want to play like he made it clear he 591 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: didn't want to play right tackle. He's a right guard. 592 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: He didn't really want to play right tackle, So it 593 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: obviously is a big difference in the position. I do 594 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: think the bullyball, yeah, I think Lyle Collins can be 595 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: that kind of guy. But he hasn't done it in 596 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: five or six years. I just don't think that he 597 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: will be ready to go in and just unsee Connor 598 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: Williams right now. He hasn't done it forever. He hasn't 599 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: practiced and now a sudden he's gonna come in and 600 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: now he's gonna practice guard. I mean, And that's I 601 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,959 Speaker 1: think that's something that maybe over time will I agree. 602 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: And that's I mean again, it's the same thing with 603 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: Dak's calf, Like if they were if they were two 604 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: and what's the X five and one, if they were 605 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: three and three and then kind of feel it or 606 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: even two and four and you can kind of feel 607 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: it slipping away. Dak's playing, no questions asked. If the 608 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: offensive line was a freaking mess and nobody can stay healthy, 609 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: Lyle is playing, no questions asked. But they're remarkably healthy. 610 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: They have an insane amount of healthy depth on their 611 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: offensive line right now, So no rush what I mean, 612 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: if Connor continues to struggle, you maybe plug him in 613 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: over there. But having the best swing tackle in football 614 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: ain't a bad thing right now. And not to bring 615 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: a dark cloud in here, but you can't ever rule 616 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: out the possibility of Tyron getting banged up a little 617 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: bit or something bothering him in the middle of the 618 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: game and he has to go out for a little bit. 619 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: So at that point, I mean, that is you plug 620 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: him in. That is such a good point. I mean, 621 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: the Patriots game feels like a lifetime ago, but Tyrone 622 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: missed some time. He had to go back to the 623 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: locker room, and we've said a million times since the 624 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: year started, like that's always going to be in the 625 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: back of your mind with Tyrone, probably for the rest 626 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: of his career. So let's assume for second stept that 627 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: happened to Tyren in game. Do you think they and 628 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: this is assuming he's even active, do you think they 629 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: would slide in Zeki in there? Because you're talking about 630 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: the other two guys who really haven't had any time 631 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: working at left tackle this year. I don't think unless 632 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: they've done it in practice where we couldn't see it. 633 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: You think they would just slide in Zeki in there 634 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: in that kind of situation. I'm not talking about a 635 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: prolonged injury over weeks. I'm saying just in game game 636 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: this week, do you think Tyan Seki is the best option? 637 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: At that point? Somebody's gonna have to be inactive, right, Yeah? 638 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: And to think, well, especially your quarterbacks. I mean yeah, 639 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: I mean they're gonna they're probably gonna have three quarterbacks 640 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: unless they are just so confident in Dak being out 641 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: that if they go with Cooper Rush, you think they'd 642 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: still have Dak active? Is that what you're saying? No, 643 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: probably not right. So you still gotta have this too, right, 644 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: I've seen that happen before. It's not good. No, you 645 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: gotta you got everybody because everybody's kind of like, man, 646 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: like we're down. If you just know, yeah you can 647 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: if you decide he's not gonna play, you gotta make 648 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: him an active because yeah, the Minnesota takes a ten 649 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: nothing lead and all of a sudden for everybody on 650 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: the sidelines thinking like can we get four in? Yeah? Dressed? Yeah, 651 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: and I I hear what you're saying. If if they 652 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:47,959 Speaker 1: can find a way to get him active. I bet 653 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: they would do that, But me personally, as a not 654 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: football coach, I'd rather just throw Elsie out there. Yeah, Like, 655 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: I know you haven't done it, but you're really good. 656 00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 1: I'd rather you play left tackle. Yeah, all right. We're 657 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: apreciate you guys joining us. We'll be back on Monday. 658 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: I think we've picked our game at this point. I 659 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: think you're picking a win. I am picking one. I 660 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: know you are. I am picking it now less, yes, 661 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: because I actually the way I look at it is 662 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: the question I ask you guys earlier. I think that 663 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are good enough running the ball that this 664 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: could be a game where some of the what they 665 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: did last night, what the Packers day last night, you 666 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 1: can slow this game down. You can run the ball, 667 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 1: and you can run the ball effectively, regardless of who's 668 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: that quarterback. And I think that can be the way 669 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys who win this game. And I still 670 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: am like, this is a three and three team versus 671 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: a five and one team. I think Dallas has a 672 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 1: better team. I've spent too much time with Nick over 673 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: the year. I mean, first of all, no, well, first 674 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: of all, we're starting to agree a lot more often 675 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: than we ever have. And second of all, I don't 676 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: like it, but I just I also, I just I 677 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: can imagine Nick saying this because I know he has 678 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: like the more we talk about this, and like, so 679 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: three of us are picking them to lose, Dak's gonna 680 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: play and he's gonna play his ass off and it's 681 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: gonna be like the Calf game. You know he's gonna 682 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: But I also know Nick. I also know Nick is 683 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: very much the kind of person that if things are 684 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: going well for too long, he starts getting like blah blah, 685 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 1: whoa something's gonna happen like and so I see when 686 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 1: he said that, I was like, this is like, this 687 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,320 Speaker 1: is vintage Nick, like five weeks of winning. Now everything 688 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: about this is telling Nick and this is gonna be 689 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: a loss is like red lights flashing. I've only seen 690 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 1: one winning streak longer than you know. They won ten 691 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 1: and sixteen. I think they won six and fourteen. I 692 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 1: probably was picking losses there about right. Yeah, five to 693 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: certain points like something in Pittsburgh, Five or six in 694 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 1: a row is at the most that you could realistically 695 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: hope for in the NFL. I mean, I know it's 696 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 1: possible to win a lot more than that, but it 697 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,879 Speaker 1: doesn't happen very often. See what the cowboys have done, 698 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: and think they've given him PTSD like and everybody listening 699 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: is nodding along like yeah, like you start looking around 700 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: corners for Boogeyman. Right, But if he plays or not, 701 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: I've said it all week. I don't think he'll be 702 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,280 Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I think he'll be kind of hobbling 703 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: a little bit. And uh no, I just I think 704 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 1: this is probably going to be a loss. All right, Well, 705 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: we will see. We'll be there Sunday night. If it's not, 706 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 1: it's because he plays and balls, which I'm okay being 707 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: wrong if that's what we get to watch. But what 708 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: I do like about this is we've gotten a chance 709 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: to see them in different scenarios and see them play 710 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: well in different types of scenarios. Okay, so let's see 711 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: what they can do in a scenario like this where 712 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 1: you don't have your quarterback if he doesn't play, and 713 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 1: can you find a way to win in that kind 714 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: of situation? Can you find a way to make the 715 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: offense move in that kind of situation where you know 716 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: that it's going to require them to be really good 717 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: in the run game. So it'll be a good opportunity 718 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: for us to just see this team and see them 719 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: in different scenarios, and we'll see what happens Sunday night. 720 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 1: So then for Nick Even, Dave Helman, Amber Garcia, I 721 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 1: am Derek Eagleton.
