They 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:25.200 named the number after us. 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.080 I love I would love to like continue to take 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:30.200 credit for that, but that that number was there a 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.240 long time before this group Talking Cowboys was there. 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.040 I'm just saying with honesty, it was there. 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:41.240 You know, this podcasting thing we three collectively started, We. 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:42.560 Made this happen. 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:44.680 Forget about the old talk now. 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:45.240 I'm just kidding. 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:47.240 Those old talking Cowboys guys are the best. 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:48.360 They're on his way. 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:50.880 Yeah, he's on his way down. 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:51.640 He's coming down. 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.840 Wait a second, all right, it is a talking Tuesday, 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.640 of course, cowboys getting ready for their bye week or 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:00.920 getting ready for their post by a week. We could 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:04.480 practice kind of a odd schedule with it being a 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.880 Monday night game coming off of a bye week. So 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:11.799 today Tuesday is technically Monday, correct, So there'll be some 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:15.480 white stuff today. Then we're getting into tomorrow, which would 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.480 normally be a Tuesday, which is a player's off day, correct, 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:23.480 And then you would go into H's it's just practice 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:23.920 on Thursday. 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:24.280 There you go. 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:25.880 So you got a little bit of time until the 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:29.280 Cowboys even get back on the practice field in a 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:33.239 crazy week of practice, pat as you they continue to look. 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:33.959 Forward to the Raiders. 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:38.240 Yeah, so right now, it's it's I hate the phrasing 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.200 turning the page, because that's not what they're looking to do. 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:46.240 It's about moving forward with with Marshawn's legacy. So as 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.160 it stands, it looks like they have some things to 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:51.280 honor him in the works. A helmet sticker they're expected 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.400 to wear, a helmet sticker for the remainder of the season. 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.079 They're gonna, I'm told they're gonna have some T shirts 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.200 that the players wear, you know, in warm ups and 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.280 during the game when their uniforms and things like that. 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:06.400 So right now, it's about the challenge of the grieving process, 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:10.640 but also understanding that there is a game coming up 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:14.120 on Monday and you know, hopefully go you know, go 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.120 win it for Marshawn, but uh, and we'll see who 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:20.840 is available for that game. Listening to Stephen Jones on 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:24.400 one O five three the Fan yesterday, I left that 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.639 interview with a question mark over my head for savone 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.840 revel So with the Mario on overshown, sounds like, you know, 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.639 poor Concrete on that sounds like he's definitely going to 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:35.000 be back. 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:36.040 He's right on schedule. 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:41.240 U I liked, and Stephen Jones kind of you know, 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.240 tripled down on that yesterday with one O five three 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.120 the fan and I thought that he was initially lumping 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.440 savone Revel into that, but then he kind of peeled 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.240 off his answer for savone Revel and he said he 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:53.040 didn't lump. 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:54.640 He didn't lump, he didn't lump. 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.920 He pealed, he pealed, and he made it appear that 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.720 while there has been no setback for the phone revel, 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.480 there's also no guarantee that he's active on the game 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:06.800 day roster for Monday. 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.000 Night because you have to activate him onto the roster 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.040 because of the twenty one day practice when that had 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:12.080 already been opened. 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:13.520 Correct, the last. 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.920 Day for them to do that would be when is 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:16.880 it this Wednesday? 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.680 Next Wednesday? Next Wednesday? So they could they. 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:21.840 Still him on there one more day, one more week, right? 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:23.560 They could? They could, They definitely could. 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.159 But I mean they could also, you know, because depending 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:30.680 on how the league mandate State handle Marshan's spot, like 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:32.479 you mentioned, it might be a roster exemption. If there 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.720 is a roster exemption, then I could see the Cowboys saying, hey, 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.160 you know, it's it's not gonna We're not gonna have 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.400 to release anyone if we go ahead and just activate 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.400 savone Revel to the fifty three man roster right now. 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.160 But again, even if they do that, it sounds like 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.880 there's no guarantee that he's going to be on the 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.280 game day roster come Monday night, So just something to watch. 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:52.560 Again. 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.039 No setback has been reported. I've heard of no setback. 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:56.800 He's still on track or you know, to make his 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.680 debut after the bye. It just sounds as if, based 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:04.520 on Steven's conversation with the fan yesterday, that while overshown 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.480 is still concrete to take the field against the Raiders, 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.840 it might be another week maybe before we see the 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:11.880 debut of savone rebel. 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.520 And I think as excited as I am to see 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.760 savone Rebel out there and to get him back into 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:20.360 the fold for a position group that severely needs help outside, 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.680 I'm okay with taking your time here. I'm okay with 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.200 making sure your third round pick that has first round upside, 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:33.000 that has all the tangible things that you can see 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:36.480 on a practice field, come to fruition first, without a 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:40.200 training camp, without an entire full season of college football 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.400 to play with. He only played three games last year, 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.760 and he's been through this rehab process for over a 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:49.160 calendar year. Now take your time, don't rush it back, 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.040 don't mess anything up, because I think the more that 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.680 you rush him back in the fold, we see things 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.120 like what we've seen with Kaitlyn Carson, where he's put 0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:01.360 in some tough situations and he's put in a position group, 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.039 a position group that really needs people just for bodies 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:09.400 outside Savone Rebel. You got to develop him the right 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.280 way and you got to put him in the right 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.800 spot to be successful. And I think rushing him back 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:17.440 out there if he's not entirely one without certainty. You 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:21.719 talked about concrete, concrete, ready, take a minute on Savona 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.320 Rebel and let that thing develop. 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:24.800 I'd argue that you still want to see what Kayln 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:26.680 Carson is capable of. I think he had a really 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.560 decent game. Granted it wasn't an excellent game against the 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.800 Arizona Cardinals as a whole, but he had good snaps. 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:34.720 I mean, just wanting to see more out of him 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.599 and not necessarily having to rush Savone Rebel back right away. 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.119 I think it's it's a good thing to have killing 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.120 Carson out there sort of on an island with a 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.400 spotlight on him, just to see how he does going forward. 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:45.200 He's kind of been. 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.560 Forgotten about a little bit in this group. Well it's 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.360 only in one game because he's only been back for 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:51.800 a little bit, and he's been in and out of 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.800 the lineup even since he started playing as a rookie. 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.960 It I think if you can continue to. 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.400 Develop him now, yeah, alongside Revel, that's two guys that 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.520 you can possibly have that take a big step forward. 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.800 Not to say that Kaitlyn carson ceiling is the same 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:09.960 as of owned rebels, because I certainly don't believe that 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.880 to be the case. However, Kayln Carson does have a 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:14.400 ceiling that he has not reached. 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:15.200 Yet, oh for sure. 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:19.040 And I think you're hopefully with less spotlight on him 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.880 now sort of in this defense because the kind of 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.320 the blame is being tossed around all over the place. 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:27.400 It's not just Seatbelt Carson that we hate nowadays, right. 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.480 And that nickname came back to bite him, huh, it really. 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.480 Did, it really did, and you know for a good reason. 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.000 When you had that expectation, you know, when everyone's going 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.120 into the season, then of course that draft was like, oh, 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.160 Seatbelt Carson, it's going to you know, he. 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.240 Was great in training camp, Yeah, see him just with 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:44.440 it the whole time. 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:46.480 But now we know, you know, look at the Kyrilums 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.240 of the world. I mean, trading camp doesn't necessarily show 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:50.920 how you're going to perform through the rest of. 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:54.840 The difference being Kaitlyn Carson, he's year two, I mean. 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.040 He's yeah, no, absolutely, give him a little Yeah, he's 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:58.600 got time to kind of bounce back and make that 0:07:58.760 --> 0:07:59.920 the seatbelt names Dick. 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.320 And that's why I liked his performance in the Cardinals 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.400 game and hopefully seeing him going forward now that he's 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.840 healthy one hundred percent. I really want to see what 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.400 he's able to do and if you're not bringing back 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.520 so in revel right away, I want to see the 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.320 spotlight sort of on agree. 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:16.560 On killing agree and kind of keeping to the secondary 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.240 for the news and notes. Stephen Jones also told one 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:20.800 on five three the Fan he threw a name out 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.280 there that I wasn't anticipating he threw out there as 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.400 far as likely, I'll say likely based on his tone 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:30.040 being ready for the Raiders, which was Millie Cooker. Oh yeah, 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.560 so I wasn't. I wasn't expecting that he threw Willie 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:33.920 Cooker's name out there as far. 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.200 As still on IR and they haven't activated, they haven't 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:36.559 acted that. 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:41.120 Yeah, right, So I personally I don't I don't see 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.319 that happening. But again, he clearly knows something that we 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.000 don't know that made him feel so confident that he 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.559 said Malie Cooker's name in the same breath as you 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.920 know Demarrion Overshown and guys that are coming back from 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:56.040 injury and how you know those most of those guys 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.120 are on the defensive side of the ball. So it'll 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:01.800 be interesting because this safety unit most certainly needs help. 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.240 And we know that Malik Hooker was not playing his 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.600 best football even before the toe injury, and most certainly 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:09.600 not as he tried to battle through the toe injury. 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.440 So you can only hope that when Malik Hooker gets 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:16.199 back on the field, you see the Malik that we 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.640 saw in training camp, because that was that was peak 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.360 Malik that we were seeing in training camp, peak Malik. 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:23.199 Even the first game of the year, he played so 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.319 well against the Eagles that I think it showed that 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.160 he could continue that in a game. 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.280 That's what you need when you get Molie Hooker back, 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:33.000 especially for a safety unit that's just been so ravaged 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:36.080 by injury and just not being able to figure things 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.360 out even before they were ravaged by injury. You know, 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.280 a part of that goes to the coaching on the 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.559 defensive side of the ball, you know, guys not being 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.400 utilized in ways that we believe they should be Hi donno. 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.599 So in that capacity you get Molik Cooker back. I 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:51.439 don't know that it happens this week. It sounds like 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.920 Stephen Jones is kind of bearish on it, which you 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:57.880 know we'll see. You know, I'm bullish on it because again, 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.319 like you said, he's not return the press this ship. 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:01.720 Last time we saw Malie Cooker. 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.840 He was still off to the side with the rehab 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.720 group doing work with Britt Brown and those in those. 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:08.319 Trainers, so we've only seen him for a short time. 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:09.280 Pete. 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:15.400 Now, I will say this, it is a peak, Yeah, peak. 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.520 Why'd you cover one of smooth so I could? I 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:20.520 don't ever want to take my off this guy, like 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:26.920 you can't this guy too fast. He's handsome, squidward hand squwd. 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.640 I will say this though. They are coming off of 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.640 a bye week, so you know, we weren't able during 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:34.800 the bye week to we weren't able to doing the 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.719 bye week to see Mollie Cooker do any rehab, so 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.640 I mean, but but of course the rehab continued during 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.160 the bye week, so maybe he made some serious strides. Yeah, 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.520 just take big Yeah, maybe we took some serious strides 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.280 in this. This two weeks off that you know, kind 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.320 of pushes him towards why Stephen Jones kind of feels 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.439 confident there's a good chance that he comes back. So, 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:55.640 I mean, so there you go with the news and notes. 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:57.720 There's at least a chance, a solid chance, that Malie 0:10:57.800 --> 0:10:59.000 Cooker comes back this week. 0:10:59.400 --> 0:10:59.840 There's a. 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:05.640 As certain as certainty can be that, barring anything happening 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:09.640 this week, de Marveo on Overshown will return. Uh, and 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.240 we'll keep an eye on savone revel. He does have 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.960 a solid chance, but it's just not as certain as 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.360 we were led to believe before the bye week. 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:21.360 Yeah, it's funny. I was talking with Nick Eatman yesterday 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.520 upstairs and we were kind of brainstorming ideas for the 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:26.840 High five article that I write late in the week, 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:30.520 and we were talking about guys coming back, and it 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.920 was like, okay, let's start on the offensive side. Offense 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.080 is pretty healthy. You feel pretty good about the offense 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.439 as a whole, and I mentioned that yesterday with the 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:39.120 offensive line. 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.960 You're right now, you're complete on the offensive line. 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:44.400 Then you look, Kevin had a lot of reps together, 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.600 but you want to see them improve in that aspect 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:47.720 and have more chemistry going for. 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:48.720 One thousand percent. 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.360 And I think you'll start seeing that with an extra 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.839 week of rest, extra week of health. And then you 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.360 turn around and you play a team like the Raiders 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.640 on Monday Night football to try and prove that you're 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:02.079 moving in the right direction, and then just the Eagles 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.120 right after, and then yeah, then you get into the gauntlet, 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:07.360 which we'll talk about here in a second. But as 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:10.160 we were brainstorming, we kind of both realized there're gonna 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.520 be five new faces. There's a good shot there are 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.599 five new faces on the defensive side. Of course, the 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:18.839 trade acquisitions of Logan Wilson and Quinn Williams, which I 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:22.840 mean Quinn Williams is an absolute game changer that's gonna continue, 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.160 That's gonna one thousand percent up in the entire look 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:29.040 of the defense just with his presence. Then you add 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.280 some some depth at linebacker with Logan Wilson, you get 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:36.319 possibly one of the safeties back, either Donno or Malie Hooker. 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.000 It sounds like Hooker's moving in the right direction. There, 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:43.280 you get savone revel back, and then hopefully you get 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.679 or excuse me, you will get to Marvin Overshown back. 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:50.480 Hopefully you get savone revel back. So five guys Williams, Wilson, 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:54.920 Revel Overshown, Hooker, and then maybe Donno if you end 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.360 up getting him back or wherever he ends up being too. 0:12:57.960 --> 0:12:59.920 I mean, this is a different look defense. 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:00.959 It looks completely different. 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:04.800 That's half of your starting lineup that's completely up ended. 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:06.480 Not that everybody's going to be a starter there, but 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.240 they all could be. They very well could be. Most 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.000 of them could be. And so with all that being said, 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:16.840 question mark, I think not to say that this defense 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.439 is going to be world beaters now, but what have 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:20.079 we said. 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.040 This entire season is you got to just be serviceable. 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.959 Yeah, we're talking about the earlier this season, Week two, 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.240 I think it was talking about Green Bay being world 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.479 beaters and they mustered up seven points. 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.280 Zero for most of the game. That was an ugly game. 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:35.679 I love it. 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:37.120 I loved it. 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:41.040 It was premium watch football, especially if you're a Cowboys 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.640 fan it was. It was brutal, but I mean I 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:45.240 love the defensive aspect of it. 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:49.000 Man back and forth, the cake just flying. 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:54.640 Yeah, but it was fun to watch Man just see 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:55.760 them both flailing around. 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.360 Hate hate stuff with both of those teams. I wish 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:00.680 they could have ended in a tie to. 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:03.079 Zero time. 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:05.920 Yeah, like ended up seven seven or something like that 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:07.320 down the stretch would have been great. 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:07.920 Uh. 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.280 Speaking of the schedule that's at hand, and speaking of 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.520 what the Cowboys have in front of them, I have 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.280 it on the rundown today that we kind of take 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.079 a roadmap through what it would take for Dallas to 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:21.240 make the playoffs. And the more that I look at 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.840 this roadmap, the more it's almost like we're in Lord 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.920 of the Rings. We're trying to get Yeah, it's a 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:28.360 mortor we're trying to make it there. 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:31.160 Yeah, exactly like I don't. 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:35.400 Know, is it, Paul, I don't know. Beams not here, 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:39.400 I'll be Era one. There you go again, we go, 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:43.960 Handsome Squire, handsome the Uh. But yeah, it's it's rough, 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.840 and you need how many wins you get with playoffs? 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.760 You probably need to be double digits, right, double digits. 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:54.280 In a tie? Yeah, ten six and eight. Yeah, I 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:55.360 don't think so, I don't see it. 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:56.880 I don't see it, So I don't know how do 0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:00.520 you get to that point based on the schedule? Sorry, no, no, no, 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:02.280 I want to see where the conference is at. 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:04.960 But you go ahead, Patrick, No, I mean I'm pulling 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:06.800 that up as well on my screen. And when you 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.760 look at so the Eagles move to seven and two, yep. 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.200 The Seahawks are absolutely cooking as well. They're at seven 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.480 and two. Then you got Detroit at six and three. 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:17.280 We know they can just blow the doors off of 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:23.600 any opponent on any given game day. Tampa, now we're 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.800 talking division winners. Okay, So Tampa, I think they take 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:30.960 their division. Rams seven and two, I think they take 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.280 their division. Can't believe I'm saying this, But I mean 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:36.040 Chicago versus Green Bay, that's kind of where you kind 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:39.080 of that's your sweet spot, one of those guys you're 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.520 gonna have to overtake. Unfortunately, you lost the one and 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.880 you tied to the other, so Chicago has the tiebreaker 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:49.200 on you for the wildcard spot. You would love to 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:51.320 be if it's between those two teams, you would love 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.200 it to be you versus Green Bay. As far as 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:55.400 tiebreakers are concerned because it's a tie, like you have 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.040 a tie that needs to mathematically be figured out. So 0:15:58.080 --> 0:15:59.960 then it goes to like strength of schedule, strength of opponent, 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:01.520 it things like that. 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:03.760 You need. 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:11.560 Either the Bears or the Packers to just start falling backwards. Yeah, 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.000 you need one of those who start falling backwards. 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.040 I think the Rams are forty nine. 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:18.440 I think the forty nine Ers are any I think 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.000 they're starting to fall backwards. 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.080 You need you need one team out of the NFC 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.240 North and one team out of the NFC West to 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:25.480 just start falling off. 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:27.640 Yeah, one more injury for the Niners. They're gonna need 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:28.160 the water. 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:29.800 That's what I mean. I think, like, I think they're 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:31.520 starting the process of falling back. 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:33.240 Think I say I got a call from them this week. 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:35.560 Oh yeah, yeah, that would make sense. I would like 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:36.400 I would love to see that. 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:37.080 Isaiah. 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:38.920 Yeah, forty uniform. 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:40.080 Absolutely, he still got it. 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:41.680 Man, he won't do it. 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:45.080 He won't between Cowboys and Seattle. You think he's gonna 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:47.760 pu he just I don't know. Richard Sherman did put 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:48.720 on that he literally. 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.320 Just had back back surgery. Yeah, but I'm like, he's 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:52.120 strong isn't he. 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:56.920 Free money signing go to So yeah, your sweet spot 0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:02.800 is hoping that Chicago Bay San Francisco start moving backward 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:07.000 in that Carolina doesn't suddenly try to get hot because 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:08.840 they had a little bit of a streak. They didn't 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.880 before they started kind of cool here recently. So yeah, 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:13.680 that those are going to be the four teams that 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.040 you're really looking at, Chicago, Green Bay, San Francisco, and 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.840 out sath Carolina. I don't have confidence in Minnesota. I 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.399 think there are any given week kind of team. I 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:22.880 don't think they're a playoff team. 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:27.320 Though I don't really see it, man. I mean, granted, 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:29.680 I don't want to like absolutely. 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:29.960 Derail the show. 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:30.880 You need so much help. 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:32.960 You need so much help, and you haven't helped yourself. 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.040 You have three wins against teams that are not very good. 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.480 But I think we, like we've talked about, I'm glad 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:40.480 that the team is getting better, Like you just said, 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:42.960 you're gonna have five new defensive faces on the team, 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.119 and they're gonna trend in the right direction, absolutely, and 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:48.000 they're gonna go on a run here. I definitely feel 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:49.080 that way, but I don't know if it's going to 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:49.440 be enough. 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:53.040 It's gonna have to be God. Yeah, you're gonna have 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.360 to go like, what is it, eight and one down 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:57.400 the stretch to even give yourself a shot. 0:17:57.600 --> 0:17:59.119 But I do think the second wins. 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:03.080 Yeah, I do think the second half twenty twenty five 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:04.439
