This he's Talking Cowboys, 0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:22.320 screening live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:34.920 Star in Friscoat. Now, your hosts Mickey Spagnola, Rob Phillips, 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:40.800 Everson Walls, and a very disappointing start to this football 0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:45.480 Friday edition of Talking Cowboys from the SWEC Mortgage Studios. 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.360 Is Mickey was wrapped up in talk and did not 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:51.320 acknowledge and salute the fans out there when his name 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:57.360 you would have corrected. And Mickey Spagnola, I don't know. 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.400 Oh there it is, okay, and Mickey Spagnola, And how 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:04.720 are you doing today on this Friday? How do you do? It? 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:09.360 Is Cowboys Eagles on Sunday and we are just over 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:13.720 two days away. It's three twenty five Texas time at 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:19.000 the Link in Philly, Sunday afternoon. Yes, because I'm fired 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:22.959 up about this, all right. He's very very dramatic voice. Voice, 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.520 that's exactly right. Yeah, it's like the world is coming 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:27.640 to an end on the game. I'm working here, I'm 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:33.200 working here. Well, he's got a Super Bowl hat on right, Yep. Yep. Well, 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:36.680 the playoffs start Sundays, right, they're already in the playoffs 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:43.319 last week, last week, actually two weeks ago for Philadelphia. Right, 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.720 that's true, that's right, that's right. They're now two seven 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:50.840 and seven teams battle for the NFC East Championship. The 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:54.520 Cowboys win, they win the NFC East. And as we 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:59.200 speak on this Friday morning, a cloudy, forty seven degree 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:03.280 Friday in Frisco, Texas, the Cowboys are taking the practice 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:06.880 field and they are working outdoors. And this is the 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:10.239 best omen of all for Cowboys fans out there. You 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:14.160 tell them it's forty seven degrees in Frisco, Texas. And 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.040 you know what the game time temperature in Philadelphia is 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:21.040 going to be on Sunday afternoon, thirty five, forty seven 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:28.399 seven degree. It's forty six. The high. When's the high 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.520 gonna happen on in Philadelphia's one o'clock. It's gonna get 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:40.320 dark at for thirty years. My weather said it's gonna 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.000 be forty seven in Philly. And so Mother Nature is 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:47.119 smiling upon this Cowboys team as we see. I don't 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:49.360 know there's two things that he in another life, he's 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.520 gonna come back either as an NFL official or a weatherman. 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:56.200 One of the two. Trust him. I trust Mick. Okay, 0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:00.239 but okay, when the sun goes down in Philadelphia, it's 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:04.639 not forty seven for you gronks out there saying that, Oh, 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.600 Jerry Jones has that team into her little bubble and 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.440 he won't go out and practice in the elements. Well 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:12.960 they're out in the elements today and it's exactly what 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.240 the weather is going to be like in Philly on Sundays, 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:20.839 and the grass is going to be exactly the same. Painted. Yes, 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.400 do they have they have real grass. Yes, and that's 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:27.960 why they're out there. Oh that's nice. Nice what you 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.880 were playing on. That's not fair. And then you could 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:34.679 go grass in Philly. The turf out there was probably 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:39.840 the worst turf in the event. Oh, absolutely dangerous. Yeah, yeah, 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.040 I'm talking dangerous. It seems you see the scenes were 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:47.920 like an inch wide in between you know, each whatever 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.040 you want to call it, a piece of carpett. So 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:51.840 we were talking about this the other day. Do you 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.560 remember the receiver that blew out like both kneeds. His 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.000 last name was Davis and he went to LSU that 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.080 I do remember. His last name is Day was a good, 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.600 good player. He reminded me a lot of Cobb. He 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.160 was one of those very capable guys, very quick, and 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.160 what he was trying to do when he broke his 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.800 legs was so athletic because the past came up one 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.120 of those Russell Wilson pattes with passes with a lot 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:15.880 of arc, and he was bending over trying to catch 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:19.880 it Willie May style, and as he kept bending, bending, bending, 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.440 but so that the knees of bending as well, both 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:27.279 of them, both of them snapped, both of them. Since 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.880 the visual we do nothing I remember, and that was 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.400 that was all a part of the manipulation of the body, 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:36.600 along with the turf itself, hitting the turf itself, the 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:42.320 concrete basically. Yet some have more cushion under their turf. 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:46.039 Texas Stadium had had great cushion. The only thing about 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.360 Texas Stadium was the crown, right, I mean, we couldn't 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:50.800 even see the other team on the other side, it 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.240 seemed like because the crown was so high. You know, 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:57.040 I'm covering out routes from side to side and it's 0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:03.279 like the down to get to the sideline. Yeah, okay, 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.839 I'm sorry, I still gotta say worst stadium was probably 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.800 the Astro Dome. I would say that's it. I got 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.480 that's as wonder of the world. Worst stadium, and it's 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.320 a wonder why they kept it up so long. The 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.839 building was a wonder but the field, the field, Yeah, 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.360 it was wonderful and they still have it down there. 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:26.479 Nobody goes in it. And that's the same term the ghost, 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.560 the teriff ghosts. The building is still there. It's amazing. 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.280 I don't know why it's still there anyway. All right, 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:36.000 what's the latest on dak He's day to day, day 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.679 to day, just like us all getting getting getting better, 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:44.520 but hasn't done it. Give me something else day to day. Well, 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.360 if he throws today in practice, it won't be much 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:51.120 per Jason Garrett. So he's that throwing that's what you 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.920 took from that. Yes, well, then he won't throw it today, 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.280 That's right. He'll go through an entire week basically not 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:58.440 doing a whole lot of throwing at all. Well, actually, 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.560 what he said is that he would do a little 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.599 bit of a workout today, he might throw a little 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:07.839 on Saturday during the walkthrough, and then have a full 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.360 workout on Sunday before the game. So that'll give him 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.160 a better idea of I guess what he's capable of doing. 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:18.080 By this time of the year, everything's changed. It's not 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.440 like the beginning of the year. He doesn't need to 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.600 work on his timing with his wide receivers. Everybody knows 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:25.520 what's going on there. They hadn't changed the game plan 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.839 obviously everybody else knows it. So I guess they hadn't 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.159 changed anything. So I don't I don't think it's a 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:35.000 necessity that he practiced at all. He knows what he's 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.320 got to do. It's like when we were rookies back 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.560 in eighty one. I remember Maddeness saying something as we 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:45.560 got to Game fifteen. He said, this young secondary, they're 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.800 not rookies anymore. It makes say we're not rookies anymore. 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:53.360 Now we're veterans. We've been through fifteen fourteen games. There's 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:58.080 no there's no timing issue with anybody at this point. 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.360 You still have to practice, of course, you know, I 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.480 stay in shape, keep your body going. But as far 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.720 as a mental aspect and how that might suffer this 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.280 time of year, no, I don't think his his uh, 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.000 the mental aspect or the connection with his receiver should 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:14.520 suffer at all. You know Witton Whitten said, uh, yesterday 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.200 that while he's out there, while he's not participating in 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.280 the play, that he's making the calls. Of course, so 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.480 he's making the calls. I don't know if he's doing 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.760 them out loud or whatever. Uh, that he's been very 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:29.280 vocal in the meetings. Uh, he's running the meeting still. 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:38.080 So he's his because you know, Hill practices drop back 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.160 like this is what the play is going to be, 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:43.240 and you know, get his steps down. But he just 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.440 hasn't thrown the football. It is a unique situation though, 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.680 in terms of, well, it's not ideal game planning and 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:54.720 not knowing for sure that you're going to be on offense. Yeah, 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.920 what his functionality's capability is. But I guess you know 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:00.480 he's had it before. Let's something, and he told us 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:03.480 yesterday he's had it at Mississippi State. He knows how 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:07.240 to manage it. Obviously from a team standpoint, you've got 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.080 to some degree and protect the player from himself. When 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:11.840 he said, oh, I'm fine, I'm fine. You always have 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.600 to weigh that. But he's always been pretty honest with him. 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:16.720 But I guess, you know, if if he tries it 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.760 this weekend and he can't. It's it's not feeling good. 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.520 You roll with Cooper rush and you basically you play 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.720 your game. But I can't imagine him not I can't, 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:30.600 Yeah game, he would have to fail before they put Cooper. Yes, 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:35.400 he's gonna give it an enormous and enormous try. Yeah, 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:39.800 I mean there's too much right to because why that's 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:43.000 why this defense is important, that they don't fall behind. 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.199 And then you've got to throw, throw, throw, you want 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.120 to stay in your game plan. I mean last time, 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.480 they ended up with a total of one hundred and 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:53.240 eighty nine yards rushing on this team, one hundred and 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.600 eighty nine. It was the most the Eagles and given 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.640 up all season. Go back to Zeke's five games against 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.440 this team in his career, He's averaged one hundred and 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.880 fifteen rushing yards and almost five yards of carry, which 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:08.000 is impressive when you think about the quality of that 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:12.480 Eagles defensive front home. Especially, Yeah, they played much bad 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.920 at home. They play much bad at home. They don't 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:16.520 give up many yards at home at all. There's a 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.720 big difference between they're affecting this on the road versus 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.679 they're affecting this at home. You know the curious thing 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.920 about that front when we look at it as this 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.760 really good pass rush, right, Well, they've got thirty six 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:36.080 sacks and I figured out that m sixteen of them 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.240 came in two games, ten against the Jets and six 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:43.679 against Seattle. So almost half their sacks were in two games. 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.000 Now that counts, right, I don't know count. I mean, 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.240 if you get hot in the game, it doesn't mean 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:52.520 the other team's bad. Maybe you're just rolling, but are 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:57.760 not a bad team. Ten sacks and that was the Jets. Dude, Yeah, 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.000 the Jets. One thing. I know you're still on the Jets, 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.960 but I mean you're talking to Seahawks. Yeah, that's the quality. 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.040 That's quality sacks there. And I saw that game and 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:13.920 they lost. That's a very exciting game, though, very exciting game. 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.319 That's an ugly win. That's one of those ugly wins 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.200 that I hope the Cowboys there don't. I mean, I 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.920 don't want my quality back getting hit six times. That's 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.080 the problem that I'm worried about. Two things. I'm worried 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:28.520 about how defensively we're gonna play against the Eagles running game, 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.760 because they do have a formidable running game. This a 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:35.600 young kid. What's his name? Man? This guy is he 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.640 was just he's just he's a barkley guy. He reminds 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.880 me a bar but he backed him up. Wow, pretty good, 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:44.160 nice win, Bill, And he can do what he did 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.480 in the third quarter against the Redskins and line up, 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.560 come out of the backfield, line up out wide and 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.400 go make a play in the passing game on you too, 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.280 And that they've played running backs this year who can 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:55.920 beat you in the screen game and all that. They've 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:57.920 got to be as sound as they were against the Rams, 0:10:57.920 --> 0:10:59.680 which might have been their most sound game. They played 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.640 a defend. What they're strong at is where we've been weak. Yep, 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:07.880 screen passes, tight end game, tight ends, Yeah, running back 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.360 into passing game. So that's where we've been weak. So 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:12.959 that's that's that has to be a concern. So you're 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:15.920 talking defensively, how we can we can talk about how 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.280 Zeke may be the catalyst and we want them to 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.800 be the catalyst, but it maybe be like the three 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:25.679 game losing streak to where we can't stop them defensively. 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:31.280 So therefore Zeke is now persona NATO. And the way 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.199 they stopped them the first time around, they had four takeaways. 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.360 That was huge, right off to bat right, two first 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:41.240 two possession possessions right, and then I think it was 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:45.360 an interception and another fumble. Went Wentz fumbled twice, lost 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.240 two fumbles and Dallas Goddard lost the fumble in that game. 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.240 And then there was a pick. And then that was 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.640 a game where d Law I believe had the fastest 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:59.160 sex Yeah, right, two point eight seconds or something. I mean, 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:00.880 come on, that's the guy I want to see. Man, 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.640 I want to know who's on the stop watch. That's 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.160 the guy I want to see. I mean, if we start, 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.439 if we come out talking about how fast d Law 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:12.360 has a sack, then we're in good shape because that 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.640 means it wins is under pressure and his status quo, 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.199 just like it was in the first game in Dallas. 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.520 And that's important to note too, because Lane Johnson was 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:26.040 reportedly not practicing early on this morning, so if he's 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:29.000 not ready to go, they're they're compromised a little bit 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:35.120 on their offensive. Poot vote here it is hollow practice 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:42.079 from hollow halt. That's the background. I got it, yes, yep, 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.880 from TCU who has halt him high school and he's 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.520 not a bad player. No, but they had to play 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.600 him before he did. Okay, you might ask Eagles fans 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:56.240 if he's bad player or not. They loved their team 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.800 that I was listening. I was listening to an Eagles 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:03.120 podcast this morning. Yeah, well they were, Well, here's the 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.520 way they put it. They were talking about Xavier seue 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:09.679 Philo filling in for Connor Williams, and they were describing 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:12.680 the Well I happened to write down some of the stuff. 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:20.440 All right, yeah, they were. This is their review, their 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:24.760 review of the Cowboys offensive line. Their offensive line, folks, 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:28.960 let me tell you the truth here. It's not even 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:34.520 remotely close to their reputation. They lost Connor Williams, their 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.000 starter at left guard for the season due to an 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:41.400 ACL injury. Xavier sue Philo is filling in it left guard. 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.200 And then the other guy chimes in, he's how Eagles 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:49.040 fans feel when Big V has to get into the 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:54.560 Big V. No. No, I don't either. No that and 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.199 that's my point. Was this the real stuff? Or was 0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:01.880 the Touchdown Brothers? That wasn't the Touchdown Brothers talking Eagles? 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.120 Would you like the review of Zack Martin? Zack Martin 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.559 probably a little bit overrated, good football player, but he's 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:12.400 nowhere near his reputation. Why it makes a Pro Bowl 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.679 all the time, they're they lived up pretty damn close 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.080 to their reputation against the Rams when they dominated then, 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.480 that was that was amazing to me. We kind of 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:25.280 just kind of scredded over that. The domination of that 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:30.120 Rams defensive line. Did I hear Aaron Donald's name called once, 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.920 not until the third quarter when they were marked that. 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:37.200 We haven't heard his name called all day, right, We mean, 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.240 we do give my old line credit. We talked about 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.200 how they're they're the catalyst with this whole team, But 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.720 to me, that was amazing. I mean, that Rams d 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:49.480 line is pretty pretty good. You got an MVP down there. Okay, 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.200 you have an MVP down there who hadn't even sniffed 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:55.280 a tackle to the third quarter. He had two assists 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.040 in the first half, two assistant he probably just fell 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:01.400 on the pile, and then one tackle in the second half. One. 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:04.479 I mean that that to me, that is so impressive, 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.720 especially when we're running all over these guys. I mean, 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.520 it wasn't just that he didn't make a tackle. Well, 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.960 what we ran for over two hundred yards on him 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:18.800 to me that that lets you know just how this 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.920 how important this old line is to us. And then 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.160 we just I just can't give enough credit. So I 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:25.960 don't know what they think Martin's doing. I don't know 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.160 what they're looking at, but building and I talked about 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:29.960 it even during the three games stress they were running, 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.120 they were blocking their butts off and had to meet 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:37.200 the touchdown. Brothers had to be friends of us bags. 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:41.440 Yeah right, the Italian guys from South Philia and the 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.520 biggie listens to him every day before he guys talking cowboys. 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.600 All right, we continue with more talking cowboys in just 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:52.480 a moment.

Oh you're watching high school foot you're going? 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:15.200 Are you attending? Now? I'm joking? It is good. I mean, 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:19.440 in fact, that the stadium there. This is day three 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:23.160 of four days of triple Headers high school football state 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:26.760 championship games. Okay, so mister high school can Dumpkinville win 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:30.960 without their quarterback? I know, yes they can, Yes they can. Defense, Yeah, 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:34.720 I got guest, defense going is much better than last Well, 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:36.920 I got a scouting report on who they're playing, Galena 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:38.800 Park north Shore, who they lost to on a hail 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:41.720 Mary on the last play. Well, hell Mary, last play 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:45.280 of the game last year. I'm unbelievable. Um, they're apparently 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:49.480 better than they were last year. Each team has and 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:51.840 in fact, Kyle Yeoman is our producer here. He knows 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:54.360 more about it than any of us. So, Kyle, what's 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:57.080 the answer to my question? I would say they have 0:19:57.119 --> 0:20:00.159 a chance, but it's a slight chance, really, they're probably him. 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:02.280 Is they've got a freshman back up. I know they're 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:05.360 banged up in the secondary to Duncanville. Is so it's 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:09.480 Chris Thompson playing. I think he's still questionable. Okay. Chris Thompson. 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:11.520 By the way, is that like a five star recruit? 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:15.960 He's going to Auburn, So from from Duncanville. Yeah, so 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:18.240 so the running back from last year who was a 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:23.560 stud for Dunk going the pot? Okay, Zachary Evans, Yes, 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:26.600 he's back. Now that's a five star recruits. The problem there, 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:30.159 you go? Yeah, where's he going? I don't know. I 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:32.320 actually I need to look that up. Okay, all right, 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:34.400 you'll check on that and I'll get back to us 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:40.040 short cast here. That's exactly right. There's an NFL triple 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:43.680 header tomorrow. I'm gonna be back and forth watching between 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.600 the NFL triple header and the high school football state 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:49.159 championship triple that plays tomorrow for the NFL. Well, the 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:51.399 big game in the game that I'm most interested in 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:54.280 this New England and Buffalo. Next the middle game. I 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:57.280 got Buffalo on the upset. You do I do that? 0:20:57.440 --> 0:20:59.720 New England and New England. Yeah, well, New England's not 0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:03.720 playing in that well right now exactly. Evans, by the way, 0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:07.200 is not committed anywhere. Oh so you know you lost 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:15.280 their recruit one. By the way, you need to tell 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:17.679 you to make sure they got the right cleats for 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:20.720 that field in Atlanta. I don't think it's going to matter. 0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:25.280 That was the slipper. I think they had a new 0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:29.439 field down. I mean you could see the rubber granules 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:34.000 they were splashing all over the place and there they 0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:37.480 had a different field for the Yeah, because that's that's 0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:41.760 like well renowned turf that they have for the Falcons. Yeah, 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:43.399 and I'm sure it's the same stuff, but it's a 0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:45.359 new field and it's like they just put it down 0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:48.040 and in that LSU game they were slipping all over 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:50.840 the place. Grambling has that turf as well. I could 0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:52.840 tell you a lot about that turf. It's pretty freaking 0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:56.720 amazing turf. It's way different from what we're accustomed to. 0:21:56.920 --> 0:21:58.760 And Rob to answer your question as far as the 0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:02.360 triple header tomorrow, NFL tripleheader, it all starts at noon 0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:05.959 with the Houston Texans traveling to Tampa to take on 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:08.800 the Buccaneers, who have been read hot there now seven 0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:11.520 and seven on the year, Buffalo at New England at 0:22:11.520 --> 0:22:15.680 three thirty, and the seven fifteen game is the Rams 0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:19.520 at the nine Ers. Definitely. Oh so we can see 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:21.680 that one. It'll be eight fifteen on the East Coast, 0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:25.520 but we'll be flying in that middle game. Okay, so 0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:28.720 we've got our Saturday figured out. Now, let's figure out Sunday. 0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:32.200 Let's do that. What needs to happen for the Cowboys 0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:35.160 to go into Philadelphia and win? How has this Eagles 0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:38.239 team changed since the last meeting, which was won by 0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:41.679 the Cowboys thirty seven to ten. Off the top of 0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:45.720 your head, immediately comes to mind. The wide receiver position 0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:49.160 has changed immensely for this team, but so has the secondary. 0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:52.000 I mean, remember back when the Cowboys played the Eagles, 0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:59.600 Orlando Scandrick was the slot corner at the last that's right, 0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:02.960 Von Austin put him on the bats. Russell Douglas was 0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:05.919 starting at cornerback in that game as well, so they 0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:09.560 got Ronald Darby. Ronald Darby is back, Mills Jalen Mills. 0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:11.840 Jal Mills was just back. He did play in that game. 0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:16.160 But they're still having trouble in that secondary that I mean, 0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:18.560 we talk about their front seven, but that if they've 0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:22.080 got a weak spot to date, it's been the secondary 0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:26.520 and some of the past plays allowed. Um. But the 0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:28.680 Cowboys have shown they can run on them too, So 0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:31.640 to me, that's what they've got to do. I'm curious though, 0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:33.800 to see what they do. Do they do they try 0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:37.320
