Are you ready for 0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:10.960 a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:15.319 ready for a break.

It actually was eighty yesterday. And right, 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:40.600 you're right, I pittention. I don't know if I'd go 0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:43.360 that far, but you're actually right yesterday. How's everybody doing 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:45.520 this morning? I can tell you why I was right 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:50.000 because of Dave, Because when you said, when you said 0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:52.720 seventy nine, I thought, I'm surprised Dave hasn't come in 0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:54.600 here and said anything about that. And then you said 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:58.400 it again, and I was like, I thought, man, Bill 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:02.320 murraybo yeah, yeah, Roundhog's name, Yeah, I feel like that. 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:08.520 Jason Garrett press conference in Atlanta here. How are we doing, guys? Hey, coach, 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.600 how are you doing? How are you doing? Dave? I 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:15.240 am good this surprised you that he does that, like 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:18.280 thirty seven to nine the Eagles with the win, and 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.600 he's just like, a right, how were doing? Guys? Like 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.080 he does a sadder version. I have that as well. 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:27.960 What is it? How were doing? Guys? Yeah, that's a 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.160 thirty seven to nine version? Okay, makes sense, but I'm 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:34.280 telling you the we just got beat in the playoffs 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.080 to the Packers and that's the number one seed. He 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:41.319 does it then, you know, guys, Yeah, I don't understand that. 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.280 It doesn't surprise me. This is the guy that wears 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.520 the same clothes every day and says the same and 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:50.960 just say questions. Has he ever been in a bad 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:52.760 mood in a press conference? I remember Bill used to 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.080 have those moments when he was rich in a very 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:58.360 good mood. I don't remaining camp. Oh yeah, I don't 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.360 remember that. I don't remember what happened last year. Oh 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.400 it was it was during the Dead's mri fel Oh yeah, 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.680 Like the media was like are you okay? Yeah, yeah, 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.560 he was, remember that he was in a really bad mood. 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:13.079 Just you could tell he was in a bad mood. 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.799 Wouldn't it wouldn't It didn't have something to do with 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:20.760 like UM's super salty because something had happened with a 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.040 conference call from a with another team or something, and 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.280 he told him that he told them, but he didn't 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.359 tell us. Oh, I do remember that because he got 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.000 the informations timing. Yeah, it was I think that one 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.600 really was his fault, but he certainly got blasted for it. 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.840 But something in training camp one time. I remember a 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.600 training camp ox Unity was pissed off for like two days. 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:46.360 I'm really sure why. I'm gonna go back and correct it. 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.000 I'm sure you still got a wave, right, Amber, You 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.040 still usually get a little way from coach as he's 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.360 leaving at training camp, a wave, pat on the back. 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.560 Oh really, pat on the back, good job kind of 0:02:57.560 --> 0:02:59.840 pat on the back. How are we doing, an Amber? 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.440 All right, let's get it to this. We got we 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.280 got some injuries to discuss. Dave's gonna give us an injury. 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.840 I mean, I'm sorry, a scattering report on the Chargers defense. 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.040 And because we have a little bit of a shorter show, 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.400 we're gonna have to kind of compact all this stuff 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.040 and then get to our picks of the game here 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:22.920 before we'll end around probably about eleven ten eleven fifteen, 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.520 So let's go ahead and jump right in as smart 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.239 as injuries are concerned. Yesterday there were two players that 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.680 did not practice. One of them a little bit weird 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:32.840 because the day before that and the on the injury report, 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.560 which they said was an approximation, they said he was limited. 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.640 That was Anthony Hitchins. Then yesterday they came back and 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.120 a mended that and said he did not practice both 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.920 Monday and Tuesday. He and Sean Lee both didn't You 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.400 got that that backward? They said, They mended that and 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.400 said he was supposed to be limited last night. Yeah, 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.000 he's limited. Okay, I just saw on the injury report 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.120 he said d D and yeah, they came back and 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:57.320 corrected it last night because so he was limited yesterday, 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.640 did not practice on Monday? Is that accurate? I think 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:03.840 limited both limited both days? Got it? Okay? That being said, 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.840 do you think that affects now what you believe about 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:10.960 his availability come tomorrow. I fully expect him to start 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.360 on the week side. That's pretty much where I'm at. 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:18.120 I mean, he practiced yesterday and it's it's a glorified 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:19.719 walk through. It's not like it's a real practice. But 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.280 he's moving around like he's gonna try to go, and 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.359 I think they're gonna let him try to go, and 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.440 of that, I'm Glennedny. No, just I just the fact 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:31.120 that I guess you could go without you know, him 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.280 playing and you wouldn't have to sign anyone. But um, 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.279 I just think that. I mean, I'll just a second 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.159 what Dave said, I think he is going to play there. 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:43.600 They haven't made any moves either to yeah, to protect themselves. 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:47.760 Dan Bailey, Lyle Collins, Belieue Collins, Thomas Smith all limited 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.680 yesterday else first day, Lyle showed up with a back injury. 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.479 What are we hearing about that? I don't know what 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.080 to think about that, because again, like they weren't even 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.720 wearing helmets, let alone pads. So this is a walk 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:02.800 through if I had to guess. And I don't know 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:07.640 for sure. Back injuries are troublesome, but they probably just 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.920 sat them down. Like you you have to report stuff 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.360 like that when a guy doesn't participate in practice. But 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.120 I think of it as more just like, ah, get 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.000 off your feet, get off you know, if your back's 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.400 hurting you short week, yeah, yeah, any anything that would 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:25.800 keep you off, you know, out of practice, just you know, 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.000 precautionary because you got to think about it on Tuesdays typically, 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.760 I mean they haven't haven't done anything yet. So now 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:33.800 we're like, this is the meat of the week, you know, 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:37.160 the practice, the one practice that they're counting on, and 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.680 so your body, it's just it's almost like shock for 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.880 the for the body. So I don't know everyone's dealing 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:44.840 with what it's like, you know, bumps and bruises here 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:50.279 even on the show. True. But yeah, and then actually interesting, 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:55.599 interesting little tidbit from practice yesterday, Jeff Heath was doing 0:05:55.800 --> 0:06:01.599 kickoff work with Rich Beisaccio. So and we're kind of wondering, like, 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.480 can you afford to have two kickers active for this game? Well, 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.080 maybe you'll have That's one way you could work around 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.159 it if you feel good about Dan Bailey's health. I 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:10.680 don't know if they do. If you think he can 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.279 kick field goals but you don't want to kickoffs, you 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.200 go there, You got him. You got a way around. Now. 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.280 He was kind of knuckleball on these kicks, like they 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.440 didn't they didn't look awesome. It wasn't great. No, Yeah, 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.920 but let's go with Mike Nugent until heat his back. 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.840 I don't understand why this is. I mean, Bailey Bailey's back. Yeah, 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:32.600 I kind of agree, honestly, don't. I'm scared. Maybe it's 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.000 just me. I don't know. I'm just I'm expecting at 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:38.039 some point I'm gonna fall off. The greatest kicker of 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.160 all time with a slight injury is not the greatest 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.280 kicker of all time. I get it, I get it, 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.440 But I don't think it's necessarily that he's not healthy. 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:48.599 It's that you want to ease him back in. What 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:50.400 does this team do all the time when players come 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.960 back from injury, They never give him back the full workload. 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:54.960 They always just kind of eat. So this would be 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:56.960 a way to eat it is it's not like a 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:58.960 real game. That's what you can do in practice. You 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.680 can still you know he's in, and kick the ball 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.520 around and shift. No. No, what I mean by what 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.360 I mean by easing back in is about reps. So 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.840 if he has fewer reps, if he's only kicking field 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.440 goals and not doing kickoffs, that's fewer reps. That eases 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:15.960 him back in and make sure that as he goes 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.920 he doesn't re injure himself because of the fact that 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.040 he has too many reps. That's the only thing I'm 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.760 worried about is are they thinking about it from that stemp. 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.960 I'm gonna go around the table here, eighty percent Bailey 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.120 or because I wouldn't think he could go and do 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.040 anything if he was. If he's less than that, I 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:35.080 would say eighty percent. I think he's probably a hundred percent. Well, 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.640 then if he's one hundred percent, then then then you 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:41.560 would just cut Nugent. Well, but again, this is the 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.600 county and just a groin injury. He could start kicking 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.680 and overdo it and reinjure himself. I think that's kind 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:49.560 of the point of this, right, Okay, eighty five percent, 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:51.360 then let's just say, would you rather have eighty five 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:55.080 percent Bailey or one hundred percent Nugent? Mike Nugent hasn't 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.720 been bad enough that I'm like, drastically just trying to 0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:59.800 get rid of him. I'm not either, but I would 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.760 in the rain against the Redskins bad Miss in Atlanta. Yeah, 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.520 the only points all on all of them on pretty 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:08.520 hard kicks last week. I mean that none of those 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:13.400 were chip shots. Yeah outdoors, where was that? Oh? Yeah, no, 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:17.120 you're right after outdoors roof. I think he's been fine. 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.920 These are I'm famous last words, like now he's gonna 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:23.560 shank a game winner. But I'm sorry. Maybe it's just 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.040 I trust Dan Bailey more than I trust Nugent. Yes, 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.520 Nugent hasn't been bad. I'm not saying Nugent has been bad, 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.880 And that's not the point. The point is I trust 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.040 Dan Bailey. Every time there's an extra point when Nugent's 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:35.680 out there, I'm like, oh God, oh God, what's gonna 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:37.760 happen when Bailey's out there? Don't even think about it, 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:39.480 Like I don't think about extra points. I don't think 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.880 about field goals as long as they're within a certain rain. 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:45.280 That's really weird that you'res like that, you were you're 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.360 bothered by that, like you expect. I'm the guy that 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.839 expects something to go wrong, and you're the guy that's like, well, 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.200 until it goes wrong, it's all good. Like I'm not 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.800 sweating Mike Nugent's ability to make an extra point until 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.240 he misses one, because he's been perfect so far so 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.560 far this year, so far, I haven't died yet, Like, 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:02.360 I mean, that's the terrible way to look at Wow, 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.840 we have that I just go too hard, right, I'm saying, 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:06.800 always do that. You go from ten to a hundred, 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.400 like saying like I used to be, you do Yeah, 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:13.040 you U can't just you can't just walk around like 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.520 expecting the worst to happen for no reason, with no 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:17.840 evidence that it's going to happen. Is Dave really turn 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:21.360 someone not to walk around expecting the worst to happen? 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:25.920 And why are we starting an hour late? Well, I 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:27.800 had to go to the doctor. Right now you come 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:33.200 back from the doctor talking about death. I mean an invitation, right, 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.800 this is amazing, It's okay. I like the optism of 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.160 I haven't and you know, because of that, I'm gonna 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.000 I'm gonna change my being. I'm just gonna be optimistic 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.640 about this. And now that's going new. Maybe we're kind 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.920 of jumping the gun here because the Cowboys have been 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.200 involved in two games now where the kicker got hurt 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.600 in the middle of the game, once for them and 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:56.400 then the other time with the Eagles. So Heath practicing 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.600 kickoffs might just be something that it's a good point. 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.959 I mean, it's just something that he's always done. He 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.280 stay ready, just stay ready. If we're gonna go with 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.320 Bailey this week, you know, or I don't know. If 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:12.480 I know, the whole limited thing doesn't necessarily guarantee oh okay, 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:14.560 he might be out or he's good to go. You 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.760 can't really rely on what the word limited means. But 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.880 if I'm seeing limited on there, I would just wait 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.760 another week and wait until it says full. At least 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.959 for Dan Bailey and his position and his injury, I 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.760 would not put him out there again. That is full. 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:31.599 It really is a good point. I mean that that 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.199 with him. I mean with other people, that's fine because 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:37.720 you can kind of you have a little bit of 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.000 help and if it doesn't work, you can plug this 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.440 guy in. But he is your kicker, and it I 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.760 just don't know with all the other injuries, if you can, 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.920 I mean, you might need to go longer at offensive line. 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.040 If say Tyrant Smith does play, we're not even talking 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.559 about him. He'll say he can play. I still I 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.920 still think maybe need more backup health there. I probably 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.920 would make Chaz Green active anyway. So let's assume let's 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.520 assume that he's one hundred percent and do you still 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:03.440 do you feel comfortable with him being one hundred percent 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.280 and saying let's just throw him out there. Let's give 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:09.000 him everything, kickoffs and field goals, and just hope that 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.040 everything goes well. And in the middle of the game 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.000 he doesn't say, man, it's starting to ache a little 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:14.679 bit again. You know, that's the part I think they're 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.320 a little bit concerned about, or at least I would 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:17.920 be a little bit concerned about. And you have to 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.319 protect yourself in that way. And you certainly don't want 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:22.120 to get into a game where you're now having Jeff 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.280 Heath having to again kick field goals right when you 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.880 have another kicker on your fifty. I think Mike Nugent 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.160 has to lose a game for you before you would 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.199 until you feel comfortable that he is back, yes, and 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.280 he can do everything, and he's done everything in practice, 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.480 he's done everything getting ready, and I think i'd go 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.120 with Nugent this game. His performance hasn't been anywhere near 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.760 or bad enough for me to be rushing that. All right, 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.080 So let's go at the optimism of Dave this time, 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:47.760 and let's just say that, all right, Let's go to 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:52.120 the inactives list. Sean Lee, Darren McFadden, Daniel Ross, Blake 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.840 Jarwin are all four guys, I assume we all agree 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.640 will be inactive this week. Correct, Yes, sounds right awesome. 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:01.079 Let's move to the final three, and here's the options 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:04.080 out throughout Chads Green or Tyren Smith. I think that's 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.560 an interesting one because now with Lyle showing up on 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.120 the injury report, even if Tyren Smith is healthy and 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:12.240 can play, or at least healthy enough to play, would 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.120 you sit Chaz Green knowing that there's a possibility with 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:18.400 both your starting tackles at least somewhat injured, that you 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.400 might have to have two tackles that can run out 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.200 there and play. I don't think I would put a 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.280 tackle on that list. I think that's personally. I would 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.199 start somewhere else. And okay, see if we could get 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:28.719 around it. So then let's go to the next one. 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.199 Dan Bailey or Mike Nugent. I think we all agree, 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.480 you go one or the other. You guys agree, Yeah, 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:37.520 all right, Then you've got benaben Wickery. That would give 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.000 you one more if you assume that that now Cheeto's 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.160 going to be out there, and Cheeto took heath spot 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.320 last week, but it'll be back. Yeah, but you can 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.360 take Ben aben Wickery and put him down and Cheio 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.760 can play both one on our safety. Right. Okay, so 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:52.640 now you're at six and you no, no, you're at one, two, three, 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:54.840 four or five yet at six and you have to 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:59.840 choose between a tackle or some other position yet to 0:12:59.880 --> 0:13:02.360 be decided. This would be easier to answer if we 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.560 knew for sure what Lyle Collins the situation was. Jason 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.400 Garrett'll probably talk about that at his presser in a 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:11.480 little while. If that's just like a precautionary whatever, and 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.480 he's actually if he's totally fine, I would still sit 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:17.440 Chaz Green. That doesn't bother me. But if that's actually 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:21.840 something that they're monitoring, I'd probably sit Noah brown Just. 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:25.440 I mean, you guys agree Noah Browne the next guy 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:28.200 up or down? Can you just read off all the 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:33.040 guys you've got, Sean Lee, Darren McFadden, Daniel Ross, Blake Jarwin, 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:41.240 Mike Nugent or Dan Bailey, Benabing, Wickery Taco. Hey mean 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.040 you could probably. I mean, if you're if you really 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.240 wanted to, you can probably sit Lewis Neil too. But 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:48.439 that he's been up both games, he's been on the 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.080 active roster, and he's seen something I think they need 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:54.319 four defensive tackles. Don't you think I mean full time 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.000 defensive tackles. I'm not talking about a guy that you 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.120 can slide over in the event of injury. I don't 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.040 the way they're rotating it, I don't think they'll to 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:04.160 it right, but you could. Yeah, I'm just thinking of 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:09.040 the linebacker situation with um I mean, you got you 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:12.439 got Durant. I don't know how you sit a linebacker 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:17.280 with Hitchens, No, and Lee definitely, and Lee's definitely out 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.520 as far as we think. Yeah, yeah, Because what was 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:23.560 Jason Garrett's reasoning for for McFadden being down last week? 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.560 They needed they broke down. He said, they broke down 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:30.600 the play count for you know, that number of handful 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.720 of guys in between the linebackers getting special teams work 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.680 and uh, you know, the potential for injury. I mean, 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.400 he said McFadden had the lowest potential snap count out 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.800 of anybody because he plays the smallest rope. And it'd 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.080 probably be the same this week. You would think, right, yeah, 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:48.360 I would. I would imagine and unless you know, there's 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.080 something to be said for a short week and you wanted, 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:55.720 you know, and as we get into this, this scoutter report. 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:58.480 When you look at the Chargers run defense versus their past, 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:01.040 eve be a week that you might be able to 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:05.400 take advantage of their run defense. Well, I mean, teaser, Derek, 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.960 when is when is you know rod Smith's hook going 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.000 to be? You know? I mean what I mean. But 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:13.440 the thing about Rod Smith is he also has a 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.520 special team. Well right, I'm not talking about on the fifty, 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:18.440 on the forty six. You know, he could do some 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:22.280 things on special teams. But I mean this excitement over 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.840 him playing offense and all this cool stuff. I mean, 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.640 he hasn't he'd a drop in the NFL really when 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.040 it comes to being a running back, he hasn't. He 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.800 hasn't really done anything other than Canton in a preseason game. 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.000 So I mean, I just I'm kind of curious on 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:40.200 what are they still seeing in him other than Noah Brown. 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.280 I can't think of another guy that normally is on 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:46.440 your forty six that doesn't really have a role. I 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:48.240 think Noah Brown is starting to get more and more 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:49.840 of a role. He is, he does have a role. 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:51.560 I'm just saying, Oh, I guess, let me say I 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:54.800 think that doesn't that doesn't have a role that that 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:57.720 can't be replaced by someone else. I'd rather beasily return 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:00.440 punts for me, and you think maybe sit sits Switzer. 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.320 I'd rather have no Brown active now than Switzer because 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:06.640 Norah Brown to me and he's he's he does more, 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:08.400 he does more, and he let me ask this though, 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.680 I mean, all I know is this is that from 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:13.560 where we sit in the press box, and it's up 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:16.400 there pretty high. Um, and I maybe I'm getting older 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.840 or whatever, but I need to I need to look. 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:22.280 I need to figure out every game the difference between 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:27.240 shoes between Daz and Noah Brown, because every time I'm like, nice, 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.200 nice played by Dez and that was Noah Brown or 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.280 vice versa or something like that. So he looks like Dez. 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:35.360 He's playing like him sort of. You know that they 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.160 both want to get one or two catches a game. 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:41.440 So I kidding, are you guys not a little bit 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.920 intrigued by a little bit I'm not. Don't want to 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:47.280 overstate this, but the little bit of success that we 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.280 saw from Switzer, and he has some pretty decent retwitter 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.480 is on this week. I disagree with these two Switzers 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:55.520 on a two game role where he's doing stuff like 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:57.960 I wouldn't. I don't want to take away that momentum 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.560 and the chance that maybe he's figured he's done the 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:03.080 season so far, right, these last two games have been 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.000 his best games of the season. Yeah, I don't. I 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.600 can't remember what happened in Atlanta. He just he had 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:10.199 a nice return to like the thirty thirty five almost 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.200 broke it. And then I'm not saying he was great 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.040 by his stretch of the imagination, but I'd say he 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:16.320 probably had his best day returning punts he had. I 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.400 think he had an eleven yarder and didn't muff anything 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.879 except for the one playbar. He just far where he 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:27.240 just he is good, but he's just good for misjudging 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:29.840 a punt. He just looked like a goalie like in soccer, 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.040 like in a PK where you just have to decide. 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.239 I'm just gonna guess, but I think it it's like, 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.280 oh dang it, that just changed the game. No ball 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:38.800 was supposed to be at the forty and it was 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:40.840 at the twelve. I'm not trying to say that he's 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:42.960 been amazing, but I think these have been his best 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.520 two games, and it seems like he's kind of built. 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:47.560 It looks like he might be figuring it out, so 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.720 I wouldn't want to sit him down. And confidence is growing. Well, 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:52.919 that's the judgment. I was just gonna say, though, The 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:55.719 judgment decisions like those kind of things to me are 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:58.280 about confidence. When you're talking about kick returning, I mean 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:00.720 punt returning, and so I think the more he does it, 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:03.000 the more he's gonna get comfortable, the more he's gonna 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:04.800 kind of realize, Okay, this is the speed of which 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.159 which things happen. This is how much room I have 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:09.160 in the NFL, this is how much room is expected. 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:11.240 So you gotta return these, right. I think those kinds 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:13.280 of things you learn and you get more confidence as 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.280 time goes on. It would be your kick returner. If 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:20.280 it's not him, kick kick off, McFadden's out too, probably 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:24.600 ends out. So would you put Rod Smith back there? Maybe? Yeah, Yeah, 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.040 he's a good one, and he does I mean he's 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.639 the he's the number two returner. I mean he's a 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.000 protector or whatever you want to call it. So Jordan 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:36.160 Lewis maybe yeah, can like he's got some Lewis sability, 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.280 Beasley and Rod I think would be the list. Neil no, no, 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.280 oh no, George, damn it, Derek, you threw me off. 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:45.399 Jordan Lewis, Rod Smith, Ord Beasley. Would I'd like to 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:47.040 see that list Neil do it? I would too, that'd 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:48.960 be fun. I remember when they kicked it short to 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.720 Sean listen more, I do it too. I remember that 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:53.840 went like twenty five yards. It's like one of the 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:56.879 greatest plays they do. Yeah, all right, I mean a 0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:00.159 guess that Lyle Collins is fine and Chads Green is 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:03.320 the guy that they said, because yeah, they seem determined 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:04.760 and I don't think this is a bad thing, but 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:07.080 they're determined to keep Nohem around on the field. Is 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:10.200 Jason Garrett ruled out Shaun Lee or did just Jerry 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:13.159 do that? Jason Garrett's never ruled out anybody that was 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:15.600 a John. Lee could be walking around here with his 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:18.840 whole leg in an air cast, and Jason would be 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:20.560 like all these days, like day, we'll see how it feels, 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:22.119 you know, we'll take him into the game day, We'll 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:24.320
