Speaker 2: take about twenty twenty two to.
Speaker 4: Twenty Do you think one of those is just like
Speaker 4: a pla, like one of those most of them? No,
Speaker 4: the horse pill one.
Speaker 2: Definitely not. They're definitely all horse pills. There's just eight
Speaker 2: in this pack. There used to be twelve minutes pack.
Speaker 6: They went ahead and consolidated, so there's eight in this pack,
Speaker 6: and then I have another eight in a ziplock that
Speaker 6: I take and in I take some before.
Speaker 5: How many of those would I have to start taking
Speaker 5: in order to look like you on a daily bay
Speaker 5: to talk to the Lord about that one? Disappointing. I
Speaker 5: was hoping it would just transform me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, just take a pill and then it works.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: But my wife challenged me this month. So we have
Speaker 6: a competition on my facility every year called You versus You,
Speaker 6: and you get to pick between you whether you want
Speaker 6: to compete in the performance category lean muscle mass Gain
Speaker 6: competition or body fat percentage lost.
Speaker 2: And it's an eight week program.
Speaker 6: We give you programs by you, all kinds of stuff
Speaker 6: for all The guide is nutritional everything. Well, my wife
Speaker 6: wanted to have a competition at the house between her
Speaker 6: and myself and my wife's will work out like warrior.
Speaker 2: She winks out every day like this is her stress relief.
Speaker 2: So she called me out.
Speaker 6: Now, anybody who knows me, like, I'm probably not the
Speaker 6: person to call out competitively.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you're a competitive guy.
Speaker 6: I'm very competitive, and I wake up in the morning
Speaker 6: and this excellence, you know what I mean. So you know,
Speaker 6: over the last three days, you know, since I kicked
Speaker 6: it in, I haven't even really kicked it in yet.
Speaker 2: I just mentally I kicked it in. You know, I'm
Speaker 2: locking in.
Speaker 6: I've lost one percent body fat and four and a
Speaker 6: half pounds already. So wow, it's on Kyle like donkey kong.
Speaker 6: Today's my first day actually taking my vitamins. And then
Speaker 6: I'll start working out and then all that stuff happens.
Speaker 4: And but now you're telling her, so now she has
Speaker 4: a gold It's okay.
Speaker 6: But by the end of it, I'm gonna look like
Speaker 6: one of those so Chris, Like it's gonna be early Christmas.
Speaker 6: So like, by the time next month happens, I'll be
Speaker 6: looking like an under armour guy.
Speaker 2: And that you walk by in the mall, like in
Speaker 2: the window.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, yeah, one of those.
Speaker 5: Man looking at the camera.
Speaker 4: Aren't you wearing the compression shirts? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: I think the true story is he saw the l
Speaker 7: Collins got signed to the pressure that and how much I.
Speaker 4: Have a chance.
Speaker 2: Out of the bag.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I walk past the scouts every day and I'm just like, hey, hey,
Speaker 2: ten day contract.
Speaker 5: Huh, let's go give me that.
Speaker 4: For the playoffs?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 4: Ye?
Speaker 6: All I need is one play on film and they
Speaker 6: can put me an I R that's it, man, I
Speaker 6: mean just what what play would it be?
Speaker 5: You could be yeah?
Speaker 4: Oh no, I.
Speaker 6: Was thinking, oh yeah, so mean I might have at
Speaker 6: least a couple of players left in me.
Speaker 2: I kickoff?
Speaker 4: You want to kick off?
Speaker 6: Most kickoffs are out the back of the end zone now,
Speaker 6: so it's really just running down.
Speaker 2: It was just jogging. I've got to kickoff if I
Speaker 2: need it. I think I can make it happen.
Speaker 5: My strategy, sir, I'm just trying to like affoid everyone
Speaker 5: at this point.
Speaker 2: They just need to just take kick off out the game.
Speaker 4: I don't like the fair catch going up to the
Speaker 4: twenty twelve. No matter where you are.
Speaker 6: As a former kick returner in the NFL, I missed
Speaker 6: seeing kickoffs. Yeah, like like genuine kickoff returns where the
Speaker 6: kickers are struggling to get it to the goal line
Speaker 6: and you actually have a chance to return the ball. Like,
Speaker 6: that's the aspect of the game that's missed.
Speaker 4: A single one.
Speaker 9: Changing.
Speaker 2: They need to change it. They need to change it back.
Speaker 7: So during the I remember in the owners meeting, they
Speaker 7: told that all the coaches that were the owners to
Speaker 7: tell the coaches to come up with a concept that
Speaker 7: you can that they can implement to change the beginning
Speaker 7: of the games.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's all competition committee early stages. They like, they
Speaker 5: just haven't had a proposal yet. That makes sense, So
Speaker 5: I could tell.
Speaker 2: I'll give you one right now. Okay.
Speaker 6: The most dangerous aspect of the kickoff return portion of
Speaker 6: the game, trust for somebody who was actually on kickoff
Speaker 6: and kickoff return, was the crackbacks. If they take away
Speaker 6: the crackbacks in terms of your blocking schemes on the
Speaker 6: kickoff return side of things, then the injuries go away,
Speaker 6: the concussions go away. Like the probability of you running
Speaker 6: down and getting a concussion on kickoff is so much
Speaker 6: lower if you just take out the crackback.
Speaker 2: Because the crack back, I don't see it right.
Speaker 6: We used to actually have plays that were like like
Speaker 6: design crackbacks, like we're coming out, We're about to play you, Kyle,
Speaker 6: and you were a madman on kickoff and you were
Speaker 6: just back there just hitting everybody and making tackles.
Speaker 2: You know underneath the twenties I was I know you
Speaker 2: were a beast.
Speaker 6: So we would design plays to like kind of put
Speaker 6: some smoke over here, right, and get your attention over here,
Speaker 6: and then we will bring somebody around to knock you out,
Speaker 6: literally like take him out.
Speaker 2: So we would yeah, were flashing, we will.
Speaker 6: Flash over here and get your eyes over there, and
Speaker 6: it will bring somebody from the other way to simply
Speaker 6: just send you, send you to happy land, okay, and
Speaker 6: then we will hope that you get up, but like
Speaker 6: we'll send you a happy land, right. So, like, if
Speaker 6: you take that aspect of twitty Birds, absolutely the tweety
Speaker 6: birds right, find your happy place, happy Gilmore style. So
Speaker 6: if you take that aspect out the game, thennis just
Speaker 6: all head up, because as a front line guy on
Speaker 6: kickoff return, you're literally sprinting back twenty five yards, you're
Speaker 6: turning around, you're buzzing your feet, and then you're using
Speaker 6: your hands and you're you're literally just fudding up with
Speaker 6: somebody and you're trying to get good fits so that
Speaker 6: you can block them in the direction that you want
Speaker 6: them to go. They already took the wedge out. The
Speaker 6: wedge was here when I was here as well. That's
Speaker 6: aspects gone. So if you take the wedge out, if
Speaker 6: you take the crackbacks out, at least you still have
Speaker 6: good kickoff returns. Now it's just about blocking and fits, right, Yeah,
Speaker 6: the contact aspect is gone, or I mean in kicking,
Speaker 6: like there's not that many guys that get.
Speaker 2: The run free all the way down the field.
Speaker 5: Some of these alternate leagues have come up with some
Speaker 5: fun stuff, like the XFL that's my favorite one, the
Speaker 5: one where they basically start ten yards apart five I
Speaker 5: don't like, is it five yards apart five yards close
Speaker 5: and the kickoff the kicking team is at the thirty
Speaker 5: five yard line.
Speaker 4: Return team is at their own thirty Yep.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was a part of the yards apart.
Speaker 6: I was a part of the relaunch of the xfls
Speaker 6: working in the front office for the Renegades at the time,
Speaker 6: so I was a part of like being one to
Speaker 6: communicate all those rules to the fans, you know, in
Speaker 6: terms of the fan engagement, I didn't like it. I
Speaker 6: mean because, like again, coming from somebody who it is,
Speaker 6: I much rather it be that way than what it
Speaker 6: is right now here in the NFL. Sure, so I
Speaker 6: would take that as an alternative to what we currently have,
Speaker 6: but I still don't like it. I just rather in
Speaker 6: terms of injuries, just take out the wedge that's gone,
Speaker 6: take out the crackbacks. Now you just have genuine I'm
Speaker 6: running down and I have to try to beat my
Speaker 6: man who's trying to block me.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I like the XFL.
Speaker 4: I do like because there's more opportunities run.
Speaker 7: The balls kicked exactly well, then turns turf into a
Speaker 7: lethal guy man because then you can actually have return
Speaker 7: if he breaks one tackle.
Speaker 6: I like it from I like it from the fans perspective, right,
Speaker 6: So from the XFL side, Yes, I love it from
Speaker 6: the fans perspective because there's a higher probability of getting
Speaker 6: a solid kickoff return from the assignment side from the
Speaker 6: actual players. I hate it for kickoff teams.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just think it brings you more variety and
Speaker 4: like where the offense is starting. I think the XFL
Speaker 4: rule does that because it's you're always just expecting Okay,
Speaker 4: here's an eighty yard drive, here's in seventy five yard drive.
Speaker 5: Here we go. I didn't necessarily have the It does
Speaker 5: spice it up a little bit, but I didn't necessarily
Speaker 5: have the kicking situation. The kickoffs debate on the docket today.
Speaker 2: I like it, though, I would think it is a debate.
Speaker 4: I would love to see what a Bill Belichick does
Speaker 4: with a rule change like that.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, they have to change something
Speaker 5: because right now, right now, that's been around for a while.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it reinvents, it reinvents the game.
Speaker 6: When you have a mastermind right now, you you would
Speaker 6: much rather watch an extra point right now than a kickoff.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, because it's at least you get points.
Speaker 7: Why over the national anthem and then let's kick off?
Speaker 5: Well even the okay, all right now, it's time to
Speaker 5: get in your seat and hang out for.
Speaker 4: Even the XFL's extra point system is better. I feel
Speaker 4: like in the what it.
Speaker 2: Used to be.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree, Yeah, I think some of those real
Speaker 5: changes have worked out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just a little bit further one two and something. Yeah,
Speaker 4: there's a one point conversion, two point and a three
Speaker 4: point conversion.
Speaker 2: John.
Speaker 4: I remember John saying this multiple times.
Speaker 5: He's like, yeah, whenever the extra point comes up, I'm
Speaker 5: not even really watching, Like I disagree, I'm watching.
Speaker 4: Now unless you're watching to her, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 5: Let's not talk about that going to the playoffs. Let's
Speaker 5: not bring that back up, all right. He does play
Speaker 5: for the Rams, so any good point? Good point?
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 5: The Cowboys made some following transactions on Thursday. As a
Speaker 5: part of our News and Notes segment. They signed Lyle Collins,
Speaker 5: Damian Wilson, Racy McMath, and Sir Roderick Thompson to the
Speaker 5: practice squad. We talked about McMath and Thompson yesterday. We
Speaker 5: talked about Wilson and Collins the day before on this show.
Speaker 5: In order to make room on the practice squad, they
Speaker 5: had to release a quad of guys Martavis Bryant, Tyrone,
Speaker 5: Billy Johnson, Adam Pankey, and Willington Prevalon. Panky was a
Speaker 5: guard and Willington Prevalon was a defensive tackle. Both Bryant
Speaker 5: and Billy Johnson world wide receivers.
Speaker 4: How do we feel?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 5: What are you looking at me for it.
Speaker 6: Just know that you and Nick were talking about the
Speaker 6: potential of Martavis Bryant getting in the game, when the
Speaker 6: probability of that happening before Collins. That was a conversation
Speaker 6: at the beginning of a week, and we said Collins.
Speaker 2: Was more likely. Yeah for sure, I know. We were
Speaker 2: all agreems. Okay.
Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, like, yeah, well that it was
Speaker 5: because it was a big name, Martavis Bryan I mean,
Speaker 5: they brought him in, apparently he looked good early on,
Speaker 5: and it's just a crowded room.
Speaker 4: It's one of those things where.
Speaker 5: Tolbert stepped up, Cooks is there, Gallup is still Gallup
Speaker 5: to a certain extent, and you've got tight ends that
Speaker 5: you trust at the same time. So I think for
Speaker 5: Brian it was just bad timing and they've got young
Speaker 5: guys that they would rather invest in on the roster,
Speaker 5: on the practice squad than maybe.
Speaker 4: But just him for making the practice squad, I think
Speaker 4: that's that's an amazing accomplishment and come back after so
Speaker 4: long and do what he did.
Speaker 6: What But obviously the Baltimore Ravens listened to our podcast,
Speaker 6: Yes I heard you. Wow, So what are your thoughts
Speaker 6: now yep.
Speaker 5: So Dalvin Cook signs with the Baltimore Ravens. Apparently, according
Speaker 5: to Schefter, the Cowboys were interested. I haven't heard anything
Speaker 5: specifically from from my end, but whenever it comes to
Speaker 5: Dalvin Cook, it was a possibility, and I think it
Speaker 5: was more so just a fit than anything because Dallas
Speaker 5: is depth wise a little short on running backs, hasn't
Speaker 5: necessarily had a jolt of confidence going into the playoffs
Speaker 5: with the guys that are toting the rock. The jolt
Speaker 5: of confidence though, as Rico Daddle was back this week,
Speaker 5: and I just don't think they wanted to. I think
Speaker 5: if they were going to bring in Dalvin Cook, they
Speaker 5: would have brought him in for a workout and and
Speaker 5: worked him out first, just to kick the tires see
Speaker 5: how he is.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 5: Instead, the Ravens I think just signed him straight up
Speaker 5: and they waited added to a loaded backfield too, They.
Speaker 4: Waited approximately seven minutes after he made claim or he
Speaker 4: didn't get claimed, and uh and signed him right away.
Speaker 4: And you know, good for them and good for him.
Speaker 4: Hopefully he uh sure makes a deep playoff run or
Speaker 4: hopefully not. Dare the battlefield. Have you seen some of
Speaker 4: the guys that they've got back there.
Speaker 5: Let me see if I can pull it.
Speaker 2: Up real quick. Men, there are another team that just
Speaker 2: loads up on talent for no reason. That pretty much interesting.
Speaker 5: Yeah, running back room after adding Dalvin Cook, Gus Edwards,
Speaker 5: Justice heel Hill, Melvin Gordon, the third Dalvin Cook, and
Speaker 5: then on injured reserve they have JK. Dobbins and Keaton
Speaker 5: Mitchell and then also not to mention their quarterback, Lamar
Speaker 5: Jackson is pretty darn good.
Speaker 4: At running bollved not bad, not bad.
Speaker 5: He's probably gonna be MVP running back. Other than that,
Speaker 5: a couple guys did not practice yesterday, eight in total
Speaker 5: for the Cowboys. A couple of them don't. Don't worry
Speaker 5: too much about Zach Martin rest, Tyrone Smith rest, Janya
Speaker 5: Thomas was with an illness.
Speaker 4: Tyler Smith was still on the bands yesterday.
Speaker 5: Dealing with a foot, did not practice, ankle and illness.
Speaker 5: Did not practice from Alik Hooker, that's probably a concern.
Speaker 4: And then a couple guys popped up that were.
Speaker 5: Fine on Wednesday and then ended up going into Thursday
Speaker 5: as a d NP. Chauncey Golston, Chuma Adoga and Dornce
Speaker 5: Armstrong for Golston it was an illness, Adoga it was
Speaker 5: an illness, and then Dornce Armstrong was an ankle injury.
Speaker 2: Those were the up updates that something's going around.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I saw you going around. Get it out of
Speaker 5: the way now, right. Rico Dowdell was a full participant,
Speaker 5: so was Villiami Fajoko, and then Jonathan Hankins was limited
Speaker 5: again yesterday.
Speaker 6: What do you think, Billy Amojoko? What are they trying
Speaker 6: to do with him? Are you think they're trying to
Speaker 6: get a look at him for next year?
Speaker 4: Possibly?
Speaker 5: I think they're gonna just want depth on the defensive front,
Speaker 5: if I'm being honest.
Speaker 4: But he's a d N. He's a d N.
Speaker 5: But I think they want him to move inside. I
Speaker 5: don't know that for sure, you think right now? Huh?
Speaker 5: He was a tweener coming out. I mean he was
Speaker 5: like too eighty two ninety. He could he could add
Speaker 5: on some more coming out. Let me see if I
Speaker 5: can find those exactly smaller than Mazi right now? Yeah,
Speaker 5: he's smaller than Mazzi. He was. He was a defensive
Speaker 5: end at San Jose State or San Jose. But with
Speaker 5: with where they're going, I think they may want him
Speaker 5: to move inside.
Speaker 4: Guy says, say a lot. Yeah, what do you think
Speaker 4: you're telling me?
Speaker 2: He goes, he always.
Speaker 5: Asks these poking questions really back to me where he's like,
Speaker 5: so you think you think they're just getting a look
Speaker 5: at him and then they'll just let him go, Like Isaiah,
Speaker 5: I don't want to say that here. Guys, come on, now,
Speaker 5: what do you think he really wants me to ask
Speaker 5: the question?
Speaker 4: It is Friday. I mean, you're supposed to stay with
Speaker 4: your chest.
Speaker 6: I don't know what they're doing with him, honestly, Yeah,
Speaker 6: that has no knock on his abilities.
Speaker 2: It's a very deep position.
Speaker 5: He was seventy five coming out of school at the Combin.
Speaker 5: I'm curious as to what he might be right now.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I think he may be a little bigger
Speaker 5: out of San Jose State.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I missed a very stacked position.
Speaker 6: I mean, you forgot that you even had Dante Fowler
Speaker 6: on this team, no disrespect to him, and he shows
Speaker 6: up last week You're like, oh.
Speaker 2: Crap, I forgot.
Speaker 4: He's been showing out, yeah, a couple of times, a
Speaker 4: few times this season, more than a few. I mean,
Speaker 4: he's he's been solid. I'd say yeah, but you.
Speaker 6: Almost forget that he's there. At least me, I forgot
Speaker 6: that he was there, and I was like, oh, crag, Colin,
Speaker 6: I are watching the game. I'm like, oh, shoot, look
Speaker 6: at that dude.
Speaker 4: Hey, look there.
Speaker 6: You got Armstrong, you got him, you got Micah, I mean,
Speaker 6: you got you got the Law.
Speaker 2: I mean, you got a lot of dudes in that position.
Speaker 2: So it was hard.
Speaker 6: He got Sam Williams. It's hard to break that lineup.
Speaker 6: So now bringing you know, billing on for Hoko up,
Speaker 6: It's like, is the special teams.
Speaker 4: Maybe that's a good could be?
Speaker 5: Well? I mean, right now you've as a defensive end,
Speaker 5: you've got Micah d Law, Sam Williams, Dorn's Armstrong, Dante
Speaker 5: Faller Junior, and then you've got Villiami Fijoco and Tyrs Wheat.
Speaker 2: Those are your specialist.
Speaker 6: Still there's a big specialist, right, So, I mean I
Speaker 6: could see it from that perspective because I know that
Speaker 6: Bones likes to use these defensive ends, big linebackers, big,
Speaker 6: you know, lighter defensive end type guys on special teams
Speaker 6: because they're twiners, right, they can do pretty much everything.
Speaker 6: They can be on punt team, they can be on
Speaker 6: kickoff return, they can be on punt return.
Speaker 2: I mean, they could do pretty much everything on special teams.
Speaker 6: It's a good size to be at for that and athleticism.
Speaker 6: So maybe that's the play they see see what you know,
Speaker 6: contributions he can make there. Maybe they feel like they're
Speaker 6: lacking of some spots. Bones is a genius, so I'm
Speaker 6: not gonna put anything past him.
Speaker 5: And then in the interior of that defensive line, you've
Speaker 5: got Jonathan Hankins, Osa Mazzi, Chauncey Golston who was an
Speaker 5: ed drusher out of college, and they moved inside uh
Speaker 5: Neville Gallimore and and then that's it. So maybe it's
Speaker 5: a it's just a depth piece.
Speaker 4: You can move some things around.
Speaker 5: It is kind of interesting whenever you bring in a
Speaker 5: guy like Villiami Fojoco and put him back on the
Speaker 5: active roster, whenever you only have two active linebackers total,
Speaker 5: that's uh that's Marky's Bell and DeMont Clark. What happens
Speaker 5: if one of those guys knock on wood? What happens
Speaker 5: when when one of them go down, Wheat stands up?
Speaker 4: Is that what it is?
Speaker 5: You just back them off.
Speaker 6: Wheat stands up or are you bring down, uh, bring
Speaker 6: down one of your safeties.
Speaker 5: Yeah, bring down curse? Yeah would we probably would be.
Speaker 4: One and you did for sure. Tyler Smith not playing
Speaker 4: this week, that's no, it's the speculation.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the speculation fashion right playing?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so I mean that just it's just swelling
Speaker 2: at that point. Hey, going to get.
Speaker 5: Talk to Nate Newton about this because he's he did
Speaker 5: it to where he tore it, and he went straight
Speaker 5: back into practice the next day. He said, it's all
Speaker 5: about pain tolerance, is all it is, because it's going
Speaker 5: to have to heal re guards.
Speaker 2: So big Nate just went straight back in the game.
Speaker 4: That's what the different guy.
Speaker 6: It's all about pain tolerance. And Nate Newton tore he
Speaker 6: is he said, next day, get me back in there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, it's Nate Newton. It's built different.
Speaker 5: I I don't think Tyler Smith is completely out of
Speaker 5: the question today the official designation has come out.
Speaker 2: He'll be a questionable play.
Speaker 5: I think so too. I think he's gonna play. He
Speaker 5: did not practice, he was on the bands.
Speaker 2: I think they're probably holding him back from.
Speaker 4: Getting back out there.
Speaker 6: Possibly maybe I don't get the sense that he's a
Speaker 6: guy He's like, hey, man, I just don't think I
Speaker 6: can go.
Speaker 5: Well, would you rather him?
Speaker 4: I know this is a this is this is a
Speaker 4: must win.
Speaker 5: According to Dak and Zach Martin, just to get that
Speaker 5: two seed, to treat it like a playoff game.
Speaker 4: I get it about it. Now, win win the game.
Speaker 5: Question, But if if Tyler Smith is not available this week,
Speaker 5: I'm okay with TJ. Bass going up against Washington, even
Speaker 5: though the best part of their team is the interior
Speaker 5: of the defensive line.
Speaker 2: When we come back from break, Kyle, Yes, got a question.
Speaker 5: You got a question? Okay, did you just send us
Speaker 5: a break?
Speaker 2: Absolutely?
Speaker 6: Who is the first person that you sit if you
Speaker 6: get up by twenty one in the first half?
Speaker 5: Okay, Well answer that question and give you some key
Speaker 5: matchups when we come back right after this with more
Speaker 5: talking cowboys.
Speaker 10: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the
Speaker 10: Cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

Speaker 4: To Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Back here on Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 5: This portion of the show is brought to you by
Speaker 5: Quaker Oates, a super trusted super food Quaker Oats, the
Speaker 5: official Oatmeal, sponsor of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 4: We've already hit.
Speaker 5: It, Isaiah, got it, man, That's right, It's already done
Speaker 5: it in my system.
Speaker 2: It's already working.
Speaker 5: Before we get to Isaiah's great question we did have
Speaker 5: yesterday afternoon, Adam Schefter of ESPN tweeted this out really cool.
Speaker 4: It's from the NFLPA.
Speaker 5: So the NFL Players Association asked its players to vote
Speaker 5: on the league's top offensive, defensive, and special teams coordinators.
Speaker 2: The results of the vote of the three.
Speaker 5: Coordinator spots, and the Cowboys are represented in the top
Speaker 5: five of all three top five offensive coordinators Frank Smith
Speaker 5: from the Dolphins, Thomas Brown from the Panthers, which I
Speaker 5: think is kind of interesting, and then you've got Brian
Speaker 5: schottenheimers third from the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Shoutout shoty.
Speaker 5: By the way, Keller Moore on that list, Kella Moore
Speaker 5: is fifth. It's not too far behind, but yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: Brian Schottenheimer at three, and then Kellen Moore at five.
Speaker 5: Top five defensive coordinators, Aaron Glenn the Lions.
Speaker 2: You're real close with ag I'm not real close, but
Speaker 2: he's a teammate.
Speaker 5: He was a Cowboy, right respect ag with the Lions,
Speaker 5: Steve Wilkes with the San Francisco forty nine ers, and
Speaker 5: then Dan quinn is in third with the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 5: I think you could argue maybe he could be higher,
Speaker 5: but Wilkes and Glynn have had great years, so I'm
Speaker 5: not gonna.
Speaker 2: And Wilkes is my old coach at University of Washington,
Speaker 2: was he really?
Speaker 5: Wow?
Speaker 4: It's just guys who Isaiah stand Back had the chance
Speaker 4: to touch.
Speaker 6: And that's what it brought one of my former teammates
Speaker 6: on staff with him to coach with him.
Speaker 4: We didn't have like a six degrees of Isaiah Standback
Speaker 4: like it's it's you know, your six degrees away from
Speaker 4: like you know, from anybody in the stand back?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Kevin Bacon, right, but yes, but Isaiah uh And
Speaker 5: then special teams coordinators. Would anybody liked to guess where
Speaker 5: John Fossil is ranked among special teams coordinators? Number three?
Speaker 5: Josh says, number one. He is number one. He's the
Speaker 5: top ranked among the players the NFL p A.
Speaker 4: I think nic special fun.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he just landed both his punter and kicker in
Speaker 5: the Pro Bowl. And I asked a little bit about
Speaker 5: John yesterday when talking with both of those guys, and
Speaker 5: I mean they they love John Fossil because Brian Anger
Speaker 5: was with John Fossil previously and then Brandon Aubrey was
Speaker 5: picked up by John Fossil incognito wearing sunglasses and a
Speaker 5: hat to try and stand out from the crew or
Speaker 5: stay stay hidden in the crowd in a USFL game
Speaker 5: in the Birmingham Stallions this past offseason.
Speaker 6: So I wonder if that's a goal of his to
Speaker 6: get all three specialists to be Pro bowlers every year.
Speaker 5: I'm sure you should ask him, Mecca, Yeah, I'm sure.
Speaker 5: Thanks a locker of romax, I'm gonna have to gonna
Speaker 5: have to all right, uh, before we get into key matchups.
Speaker 5: You you posed the question I.
Speaker 2: Did, Kyle.
Speaker 6: The question was if this game turns into a blowout,
Speaker 6: like you will, hope too, that's your game plan, right,
Speaker 6: have a blow out and put them away ap so
Speaker 6: that you can rest your players because you don't get
Speaker 6: a bye week going into the playoffs.
Speaker 2: You have a game next weekend.
Speaker 6: Okay, you don't have the one seed, you possibly have
Speaker 6: the two if you take care of business. So being
Speaker 6: that that's the case, you want to try to get
Speaker 6: as much rest as possible and alleviate the potential of injuries.
Speaker 2: Who is the first person that you rest.
Speaker 5: Ceedee Lamb done, take them off the field, he's your offense.
Speaker 2: Scott.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's a it's a basic answer, but
Speaker 4: I mean, take Tack off the field, and it's they
Speaker 4: it's been a proven thing that they've done all year.
Speaker 4: Once they're up that big in the fourth, you take
Speaker 4: out Tach, they.
Speaker 5: Kind of take out everybody like at the same time,
Speaker 5: kind of they kind of go. But if I if
Speaker 5: I had to choose one, give me, give me the
Speaker 5: turn Smith, of course.
Speaker 2: I'm going. I'm going with Dak as well. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: get it.
Speaker 4: It's the quarterback position.
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's go three guys.
Speaker 4: Okay, Dak's Mighty M and uh Markus, Lawrence.
Speaker 5: M, Dak c D.
Speaker 4: Yeah, offensive line, I mean Zach Martin.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you just you just forget about the defense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they'll be all right, but you go there, Dak Micah,
Speaker 4: Texas tell them to Texas one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Texas, give us a text top three
Speaker 5: guys that you would pull out of the game first.
Speaker 5: If the Cowboys do indeed take care of business in Washington,
Speaker 5: eight one seven two nine zero three two nine eight
Speaker 5: Who are your other two?
Speaker 4: But see we're taking questions on this and now play somewhere.
Speaker 7: Just bring those questions, text those into.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going I'm going Dak Zach Tyrann.
Speaker 4: And for the fans to be clear, Uh, Trey Lance
Speaker 4: is an emergency quarterback. Yes, if we take out Deck
Speaker 4: it has to.
Speaker 5: I mean it has to be Coopers unless unless they
Speaker 5: make Trey Lance active on the roster as the third or.
Speaker 6: Unless they can't do unless Rush Rolls is ankle running
Speaker 6: out to the huddle.
Speaker 5: No, because then you would have to put Dak in
Speaker 5: the game. Right, that has to go back, That would happen.
Speaker 4: Both quarterbacks have to be injured in order for Lance.
Speaker 5: Can't You can't have like a oh no Cooper, Oh
Speaker 5: my gosh. Yeah no, I can't do that hit with
Speaker 5: a spit What might loose draft picks?
Speaker 2: If you do that, you're medically outser All right, No,
Speaker 2: that's that's good.
Speaker 4: He's medically out because he's a tummy.
Speaker 6: Holy for sure. I'm going all offense as well. Kyle,
Speaker 6: I'm taking out Zache. I told you about the poking questions. Yeah,
Speaker 6: so you just forgot about the defense going Zach and
Speaker 6: Tyrant in deck Zach tyront deck. The reason why is
Speaker 6: because you don't feel good about the replacements for those guys.
Speaker 2: There would be a.
Speaker 6: Tremendous drop off fact production if you lose any of
Speaker 6: those guys.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm I'm even gonna go a step further,
Speaker 5: and I'm gonna take Dak out of the fold. Because
Speaker 5: if you're taking out any offensive lineman at all, any
Speaker 5: of your starting five, Dak better.
Speaker 4: Not be in the back. He's automatically out. So I
Speaker 4: think there's five guys.
Speaker 5: Ahead of Dak on that list in my opinion, and
Speaker 5: I think they're they're all off five of the offensive lineman.
Speaker 5: If we're being honest, I still want to hide CD two,
Speaker 5: But I would take CD out first and let some
Speaker 5: of those other guys get some run with Dak, and
Speaker 5: then as soon as that offensive line is up ended
Speaker 5: at all, get.
Speaker 2: Get four out of the game.
Speaker 7: Who you going with, Well, Dak's given me number one,
Speaker 7: But you know, I'd take Mike out just because, you know,
Speaker 7: unless he needs like a couple more.
Speaker 5: Seat, he's got like one speed, so he's got one.
Speaker 6: So you leave Mike Okay, so Mike is coming out,
Speaker 6: you got Dak coming out, and who's your third.
Speaker 4: Probably Tyrany Okay, yeah, I think Tyron is probably a
Speaker 4: sure bet.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well we all know remember when CD had to
Speaker 7: get like, you know, nineteen yards to break like what
Speaker 7: was that record record?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Right, And we had the conversation on the sideline where
Speaker 7: it's like I need nineteen yards and DAC's like, I
Speaker 7: guess we're going back in, guys, And then then he
Speaker 7: walks away off camera talks to Shot and Himmery and goes, hey, man,
Speaker 7: they're taking me out.
Speaker 5: You're going back in.
Speaker 2: Coops gotch.
Speaker 4: You don't worry. Coop's gotcha. Coop's gotcha.
Speaker 5: But we all know who's coming out first. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: that's true.
Speaker 2: Good point.
Speaker 5: Yeah, let us know who would you have that conversation with?
Speaker 5: Eight one seven two nine zero three two eight. The
Speaker 5: text are coming in, by the way, it's great. Yeah,
Speaker 5: can you send me a code real quick while you're
Speaker 5: at it?
Speaker 2: No, you're blocked, sir, No access for you. Yeah, not success.
Speaker 5: Right now, I can hear him in Beamers Mike's background
Speaker 5: just ring ring, but I can't see him yet. Let's
Speaker 5: go into key matchups and I'll sprinkle in some roads.
Speaker 4: I'm no Nick Harris, but I did put gether a
Speaker 4: few key matchup. But you're Josh all right, Doron playing
Speaker 4: Deron Payne versus whoever is facing him on the offensive line,
Speaker 4: So either Tyler Smith or t J. Bass or who whoever.
Speaker 4: I mean, he's gonna be in the left defensive tackles
Speaker 4: position right, Uh, Doron playing is a monster. Doron Payne
Speaker 4: is a monster. I don't want to see him that much.
Speaker 2: What about his comrade?
Speaker 5: Go ahead?
Speaker 2: Jared Allen?
Speaker 4: I said, what what did you say?
Speaker 2: What do I say?
Speaker 4: Say? Jared Allen?
Speaker 2: Say Jared Allen?
Speaker 4: Sorry, Jonathan Jonathan Allen?
Speaker 2: Sorry, she flashbacks from Minnesota. I was like, wait, sorry,
Speaker 2: he was a monster.
Speaker 5: I know he was.
Speaker 2: And was like, is he still in the league?
Speaker 4: And they're not give up guys either, like they want
Speaker 4: to win this game, even though that would kind of
Speaker 4: actually do they want to win this?
Speaker 2: I think they're disruptors? Players?
Speaker 5: Do the players want to win this?
Speaker 6: So going back to yesterday's conversation, like don't just don't
Speaker 6: poke the bear, because then you're gonna have them with
Speaker 6: a sole mission of just messing you up. Right, I
Speaker 6: want to Now I have a personal vendetta to mess
Speaker 6: up your.
Speaker 4: Seating no matter the score.
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, Like, forget this, I don't
Speaker 6: like this organization is in turmoil right now. They're trying
Speaker 6: to turn it around. But now I got a problem
Speaker 6: with you. So now I'm gonna mess up your second seat. Well,
Speaker 6: and think about It's not gonna take much to poke
Speaker 6: the bear in a scenario like this, because.
Speaker 5: No one across the NFL, no one is talking about
Speaker 5: the Washington Commanders because they're not the first pick and
Speaker 5: they're not just not relevant. Don't make it personal exactly.
Speaker 5: So if it gets personal, it'll be very quick to
Speaker 5: say I want you guys to talk about me at
Speaker 5: least going into the offseason. I want you to talk
Speaker 5: about the Commanders. You want to put good film on tape,
Speaker 5: you want to play for your coach. There's a lot
Speaker 5: of motivational factors there. Is it going to be enough
Speaker 5: to wiel them to a victory? Probably not, But no one,
Speaker 5: and I mean no one is talking about the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 5: We've got a stat sheet that that the NFL sends
Speaker 5: out to the clubs throughout the week and on that statue.
Speaker 5: Usually it's about fifty to fifty for each team, stats
Speaker 5: for the Cowboys, stats for their opponent, and whatever it
Speaker 5: ends up being. This week it was one hundred percent
Speaker 5: Cowboys stats. There was not a single Washington stat on
Speaker 5: there the whole week. Like that just shows nobody really
Speaker 5: is looking at Washington. So Amanders if yeah Washington, I mean,
Speaker 5: people look at Washington on Monday. We're in the NFL.
Speaker 5: We're not talking college.
Speaker 2: I didn't say anything. I just said commanders.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, I think they've had a lot of names.
Speaker 4: But like you said, you made.
Speaker 5: Me think that I said the nickname, and I thought
Speaker 5: that was the joke you were making.
Speaker 4: And I was like, wait, A say you can't make
Speaker 4: it personal. That's the last thing you want to do
Speaker 4: is make this personal. Anyways, make sure you text in
Speaker 4: who we're going to be sitting after we blow out
Speaker 4: these guys, and let it be known my next key
Speaker 4: matchup would be Brian Robinson Junior versus DeMarcus Lawrence question
Speaker 4: mark or dlakquestion Jonathan Hankins Is how is he looking?
Speaker 2: Do we?
Speaker 4: I mean, would you guys want Jonathan Haggens to play
Speaker 4: this game?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: A little bit just to get some run up.
Speaker 6: Give him two quarters I think if he's healthy, yes,
Speaker 6: you know, two quarters up?
Speaker 5: Yeah, just too snapcount, yeah, I don't. I don't even
Speaker 5: think I would even limit it to quarters. I would
Speaker 5: just do snapcount and limit him there, I hear. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I want the running game to be stopped yet again
Speaker 4: this week. Granted, you know, the Lions had some pop
Speaker 4: off runs, but I think overall we held them pretty good,
Speaker 4: held him under the season average exactly about one hundred yards,
Speaker 4: but under the season.
Speaker 5: Average is a good step.
Speaker 2: Agree.
Speaker 4: And then I just want to see DeMarcus Lawrence like
Speaker 4: continue his streak of stopping the run. And I think
Speaker 4: we talked about that earlier this year is like who
Speaker 4: is the more valuable run stop for Jonathan Hankins or
Speaker 4: DeMarcus Lawrence. And I think I think both have made
Speaker 4: their case this year. I mean, obviously, you see how
Speaker 4: the Cowboys played without Jonathan Hankins, but you see how
Speaker 4: DeMarcus Lawren just stepped up and stop the run very
Speaker 4: effectively over the last two weeks. And then my third
Speaker 4: and final matchup, Kyle, if you want to continue on
Speaker 4: with this, you're more than welcome to. But yet again.
Speaker 4: I'm calling on Cavante Turfin. Come on, dude, Tresway versus
Speaker 4: Cavante Turfin. Kick it to him. How about you you
Speaker 4: put it in his direction, Let's see what happens.
Speaker 2: Let's do it.
Speaker 5: Come You've you've been you've been trying to, You've been
Speaker 5: glamoring for this for weeks.
Speaker 2: I see it.
Speaker 4: It's on my vision board, guys. I see Cavante Turpin returning,
Speaker 4: Tosh tre Damas Josh.
Speaker 5: It's gonna happen. And when it happens.
Speaker 2: I'm glad.
Speaker 5: I think everybody is going to tag you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, every tweet.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be incredible.
Speaker 4: It'll be great. And I tried talking to him Kvante,
Speaker 4: like you really need to, you know, go out there
Speaker 4: and do this, and he was like, get away from me,
Speaker 4: and I was like, oh okay, cool, I like it.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 5: Here are some of the text messages. We've got a
Speaker 5: ton of them. Like Beemer was saying, if Dak's not
Speaker 5: out first, it needs to be Tyring. That's Mario from
Speaker 5: South Texas take out Martin Tyron and Dax so agrees
Speaker 5: with what Isaiah standback saying. Here Dakota Tyrann Micah replaced
Speaker 5: with Lance Adoga Sam Williams. So in that case, you
Speaker 5: would put Lance as your third active quarterback. He cannot
Speaker 5: be the emergency quarterback. Uh, Dakota Rain and Prescott. I
Speaker 5: like that one. It's all three Dak, Dakota Rain.
Speaker 4: Did you see what he did? What he did?
Speaker 2: Well, that's what he did.
Speaker 5: R he did it, d RP or she Abe in
Speaker 5: Vegas says Isaiah. Thanks for whooping our ass on New
Speaker 5: Year's Lol. Three are Dak, Micah and Tyron.
Speaker 4: I think he's a Texas fan.
Speaker 2: I know he's a Texas fan.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, thank you very much for respect.
Speaker 5: Uh d wall C, d Dak Micah.
Speaker 4: Then the offense Dak is just such a like of course. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so I think maybe your three should just be who
Speaker 4: aside from.
Speaker 5: Dak aside from Dak. Yeah, this one says Dak tyrant C,
Speaker 5: d Dak Tyrone, C, d uh Tyro Tyron first, then
Speaker 5: Zach and CD.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean it's pretty pretty consensus here. That's kind of
Speaker 5: the overall look from it. Thanks for texting in if

Speaker 2: Falcons keep their hopes alive.
Speaker 4: Even though they're very very very slim hopes.
Speaker 2: And then the.
Speaker 4: Saints and the Saints as well.
Speaker 5: Actually, I think the Falcons are eliminated, but the Saints
Speaker 5: are like, very very fringe. I'm gonna go with the
Speaker 5: Saints to win it at home.
Speaker 4: Drew disruptors, I'm gonna there you go. I like it.

Speaker 4: You're trying to pick the same as the fans.

Speaker 7: If if Carolina beats Tampa, whoever wins the Atlanta New
Speaker 7: Orleans game wins Division.
Speaker 4: M Now Carolina has to beat Tampa for.
Speaker 5: That to happen, that to happen.
Speaker 2: So it is so the Falcons are.

Speaker 7: If Carolina beats Tampa, Bay the winner of the Atlanta
Speaker 7: New Orleans game wins.
Speaker 2: Division is Tampa player. Guys.
Speaker 5: Tampa's gotten play. They're not locked in, so they've got
Speaker 5: to play their guys, all right. Uh, thank you be
Speaker 5: Bears at Packers. It's one of the longest standing actually
Speaker 5: it is the longest standing rivalry in the NFL.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 5: Packers trying to lock up a spot in the playoffs
Speaker 5: as well.
Speaker 4: Josh, I'll start with you Packers. I hate to say it,
Speaker 4: but go with the Packers.
Speaker 2: Lower Fields the Bears. Fields.
Speaker 6: It feels that he had the look in his eye,
Speaker 6: He got a little twinkle he wants to make.
Speaker 2: He wants to approve a point.
Speaker 4: They have the number one pick in the draft, right yeah.
Speaker 2: Fields doesn't care about because of our life. Like I said, Fields,
Speaker 2: doesn't care about that first overall.
Speaker 5: Peak, No, now he doesn't. I'm gonna take the Packers
Speaker 5: at home at Lambeau. They're trying to get into the playoffs.
Speaker 8: Drew, I'm gonna take the Packers as well. I think
Speaker 8: what Jordan Love has been cooking up has been really
Speaker 8: special recently, and I hope that somehow we end up
Speaker 8: do playing against them in the playoffs. So as gonno
Speaker 8: redemption for twenty fourteen and twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 5: This is the game that has probably the most significance
Speaker 5: on who Dallas is gonna play this week. They're going
Speaker 5: into the wildcard round and it's the Rams at the
Speaker 5: forty nine Ers. Both teams are arresting guys, So I
Speaker 5: threw one little interesting tidbit in there. Both teams starting
Speaker 5: their backups. Who do you think wins this one?
Speaker 6: Ram teams backups are substantially deeper than the others.
Speaker 5: The Rams going with the forty nine ers. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 5: taking Sam fram.
Speaker 4: Cool with the Rams.
Speaker 2: Ooh, whoa, I like it.
Speaker 8: I'll take as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I take Sam Fry.
Speaker 6: I like it.
Speaker 4: You're mad man, all right, Bills at Dolphins.
Speaker 5: This is the nightcap of the final week of the
Speaker 5: regular season, Bills it Dolphins. Winner takes the division. That's
Speaker 5: playing and simple. This is gonna be a fun matchup.
Speaker 5: I'm really excited to watch this one once the Cowboys
Speaker 5: whip up on the Commanders. What do you got this one, Josh.
Speaker 4: The Buffalo are taking it.
Speaker 5: I didn't like how Dolphin, how Miami looked last week either.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take the Bills.
Speaker 5: Like they're on a mission. Dolphins.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm going with the Dolphins.
Speaker 6: You think that mcdani's gonna have two games like that,
Speaker 6: You're crazy.
Speaker 2: You're crazy, man.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll see I like you.
Speaker 4: Truth.
Speaker 8: So the Bills have been the hottest team in the NFL,
Speaker 8: I think recently, but I'm gonna have to go against
Speaker 8: it because I don't want to have the same takes
Speaker 8: as Kyle. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I like this.
Speaker 5: Drew's out here representing for the fans.
Speaker 4: This is good.
Speaker 5: This is good stuff, all right, Cowboys at Commander's three
Speaker 5: twenty five kickoff on Sunday.
Speaker 4: Cowboys win, they take the division.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 5: I'm not even gonna give the other scenario. We'll just
Speaker 5: win the damn game that's playing and simple. Win the game.
Speaker 5: Cowboys at Commanders, Drew, who you got.
Speaker 8: I'm taking the Cowboys. I think we start out to
Speaker 8: a little bit of a rocky start, but then we
Speaker 8: start to blow them out. Once they pull away, we
Speaker 8: rest our guys like y'all are talking about I'm gonna
Speaker 8: take thirty four to fourteen.
Speaker 5: Thirty four fourteen, Drew, thanks so much for all the support,
Speaker 5: Thanks for calling in, and we'll talk to you again.
Speaker 4: Down the line.
Speaker 8: Appreciate y'all.
Speaker 5: Here he goes Drew in Houston, representing in h town.
Speaker 4: Chuester Drew. That's exactly how I see the game going
Speaker 4: as well. I mean, score notwithstanding, but that's I'm feeling
Speaker 4: the same thing. What's your score? Let me do Cowboys
Speaker 4: twenty seven, Commanders thirteen. Okay, twenty seven thirteen and yeah,
Speaker 4: to payge out of Jimmy Johnson's book, we will win
Speaker 4: the ballgame.
Speaker 2: Love it.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say, Cowboys, it's gonna be like a weird score.
Speaker 4: It always is in Washington. It's never like a straightforward score.
Speaker 5: I'll say, like Cowboys thirty three and Washington thirteen thirty
Speaker 5: three thirteen, Just something weird like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's kind of how it is.
Speaker 2: Thirty four seventeen, Cowboys.
Speaker 4: Thirty four to seventeen, playing in center, all sort of
Speaker 4: on the same page.
Speaker 2: Well, the ball and we're gonna score.
Speaker 5: I don't think any of us think this is going
Speaker 5: to just be an absolute dismantling shmacking. But is it
Speaker 5: going to be a handy win? Yeah? I think so.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 5: I don't think they load them out and put up
Speaker 5: a forty burger and it's just a party on the sideline.
Speaker 4: I think by halftime it's gonna be like, Okay, what
Speaker 4: are we doing, Like, are we gonna put them away
Speaker 4: or you know, and then after halftime we'll.
Speaker 5: Put them away. Yeah, Okay, hopefully it happens before halftime.
Speaker 5: Maybe it's like thirty seven to six at the break,
Speaker 5: that'd be great. Yeah, yeah, then we can then you
Speaker 5: could just kind of pitter pawder down the stretch and
Speaker 5: make it work from there. But we'll see we're winning
Speaker 5: this game, Isaiah Kyle. Next time we see you, Michigan
Speaker 5: will have won their first national championship. We'll see him
Speaker 5: on Monday. No, we won't.
Speaker 4: Oh, we will see him.
