Speaker 3: That's That's all I'm trying to think.

Speaker 5: see coffee Nick regularly?
Speaker 3: Is that is that the usual? Or is this something that.
Speaker 4: You've elevated today is definitely elevated. Okay, it hit me
Speaker 4: by surprise this morning. I won't say where I got
Speaker 4: coffee from because I think we got sponsors and things,
Speaker 4: but we do. Yeah, it hit me a little bit.
Speaker 4: So it was black rifle good.
Speaker 3: Perfect, That's what it was.
Speaker 5: That's what That's what it should be. Always should be
Speaker 5: black rifle coffee exactly. All right, So let's jump in.
Speaker 5: We got a few things are gonna hit today. We
Speaker 5: got we'll talk a little bit about injuries here to
Speaker 5: catch up on where they are there. I have some
Speaker 5: questions for you guys on the Cowboys matchup this weekend
Speaker 5: versus the Lions. We'll have a little yetti time with Amber.
Speaker 5: Not sure what that's gonna entail.
Speaker 6: You have zero faith, I have no I have no
Speaker 6: faith whatsoever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he keeps coming back, so trying very hard to.
Speaker 5: Get me fired because like she keeps doing these random
Speaker 5: questions at me to have to answer on air, where
Speaker 5: I have to be thoughtful about what I say, uh,
Speaker 5: and not just kind of throw out whatever comes to
Speaker 5: my mind.
Speaker 4: Like me, you were on debate.
Speaker 6: You were the debating competition, so you too.
Speaker 3: It's different different.
Speaker 5: These are the kind of games though you want to
Speaker 5: just kind of like whatever comes your mind, you just
Speaker 5: throw it out there.
Speaker 3: And in today's well you can't do that on radio,
Speaker 3: can't do that on podcast anyway. You just can't do that.
Speaker 3: It's not the world.
Speaker 2: Anyone I tried. It works, all right, a lot of these.
Speaker 5: We'll get to that in the second segment, and depending
Speaker 5: on how much time we have left, we may get
Speaker 5: some questions from you guys.
Speaker 3: I know I've gotten a few already. On Twitter.
Speaker 5: You can hit me up on Twitter at Derek Eagleton,
Speaker 5: all right, So I'm sorry I should say on X
Speaker 5: I'm gonna call it Twitter.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna call it Twitter. But on X you can
Speaker 3: hit me at Derek Eagleton. All right. So so let's
Speaker 3: start first with some injury updates.
Speaker 2: Till Joe Robbie Stadium to me down there.
Speaker 5: Miamis Eric Hendricks still listed as a d MP yesterday?
Speaker 3: So was Nick Vigil? What do we hear at this
Speaker 3: point as far as they are availability this weekend?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's sounding less and less like Eric Kendricks will
Speaker 4: be available for Sunday. Still kind of searching around for
Speaker 4: Nick Vigil updates because, like we talked about yesterday. As
Speaker 4: far as Green Dot responsibilities, he was the guy that
Speaker 4: filled in in Cleveland whenever Kendricks needed to come off
Speaker 4: the field and get an IV And then we're gonna
Speaker 4: look at some other guys too. We want to no, no, yeah,
Speaker 4: you can, okay. Trayvon Diggs, he missed practiced yesterday with
Speaker 4: an illness. Doesn't sound like there's a ton of concern there.
Speaker 4: Just gave him a day off so that he could
Speaker 4: recover from that. It looks to be maybe an illness
Speaker 4: going around the secondary room. Marquis Bell battled it on Wednesday,
Speaker 4: but he was back as a full participant yesterday. Zach Martin,
Speaker 4: he did not practice with a back injury that popped
Speaker 4: up on the injury report yesterday. I've been told there's
Speaker 4: no concerns there. Jerry Jones just said there's no concerns
Speaker 4: there as well. On the fan. He's gonna be available
Speaker 4: for Sunday and.
Speaker 5: Dron Bland another day of full practice, which is a
Speaker 5: good thing for them as well. That being said, I
Speaker 5: guess at this point, if if are we left to
Speaker 5: assume that without Kendricks, that they're gonna be that Damon
Speaker 5: Clark is going to be the guy that probably have
Speaker 5: to step up if Vigil's not playing it at this point.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I haven't really heard anything too conclusive as to
Speaker 4: who exactly will be that guy. As we theorized yesterday,
Speaker 4: Damon Clark, Demarven and overshown. Mollie Cooker had a couple
Speaker 4: of days at camp last year where he camp this
Speaker 4: year where he was filling in for some Green Dot
Speaker 4: responsibilities just to you know, have that in his bag.
Speaker 4: But he also popped up on the injury report yesterday.
Speaker 4: He was a full participant. But it is within that issue.
Speaker 2: They'll not today on that Green Dot from what I've told. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so you know that's uh, they're trying to kind of
Speaker 2: figure some things out right now. You know. We have
Speaker 2: Eric kendricks on one five three the fan like good
Speaker 2: interview yesterday, Thank you. He's fun interview by the way.
Speaker 2: You can ask him a million questions and he's an
Speaker 2: interesting guy, very interesting guy, and so it's a lot
Speaker 2: of fun. We've been very fortunate that the Cowboys, I mean,
Speaker 2: with Zach Martin last year and then Joe Looney, I mean,
Speaker 2: we've been really lucky to have some quality guys do
Speaker 2: this and and but we well, we knew better than
Speaker 2: ask him if he was going to play or not.
Speaker 2: Zach Wilchuck asked, and how you feeling. I'm good, and
Speaker 2: that's all he said.
Speaker 3: It was a little pod there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so I was hearing, like much like you,
Speaker 2: it was going to be a stretch that whether he
Speaker 2: was going to be able to play or not. And
Speaker 2: then I asked about the green dot stuff, and a
Speaker 2: couple of different guys told me we'll know today where
Speaker 2: we're at with that, So keep an eye on that.
Speaker 2: I'm sure one of our pregame shows will have you know, okay,
Speaker 2: you know, whether Christie Scales or the show we do
Speaker 2: here Dallas Cowboys dot Com, we'll have the idea of
Speaker 2: where that's going to go. But yeah, it's it's unfortunate
Speaker 2: because you really need all hands on deck against his crew,
Speaker 2: especially the way they run the ball. It's just, you know,
Speaker 2: every week we look at the stat sheet and it's
Speaker 2: Eric Kendricks is at the top of the stat sheet,
Speaker 2: you know, and you know it's ten tackles, eleven tackles,
Speaker 2: twelve tackles.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 2: I mean that that does make a difference in a game,
Speaker 2: you know, and especially with the way that they've played
Speaker 2: run defense the last couple of weeks. You know, that
Speaker 2: could really really help you. But with him likely being
Speaker 2: out boy, that's going to be you know, hang on
Speaker 2: and hope for the best.
Speaker 5: Let's talk a little bit about this matchup, Cowboys versus Lions.
Speaker 5: Lions are coming into this game coming off of a bye.
Speaker 5: Question for you guys, in your experience of watching, that's
Speaker 5: the question. The question is Russ watching INFL football? How
Speaker 5: much do you think it helps from the standpoint of
Speaker 5: rest or hurts. From the standpoint of rust, this Detroit
Speaker 5: team coming off the buy and heading at and T Stadium.
Speaker 4: So the first game rest or rust, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I think with this team specifically and just their their
Speaker 4: play style, it's probably more so arrest type situation for Detroit.
Speaker 4: I think if you would ask the Lions, hey, what
Speaker 4: is your ideal bye week, they probably would have said
Speaker 4: thirteen or fourteen rather than week five, But they got
Speaker 4: it in week five. So I think with again, with
Speaker 4: the way they play physically in the trenches, with the
Speaker 4: way they can lay a hat on a guy defensively,
Speaker 4: I think taking that rest is probably more so beneficial
Speaker 4: for this team. I fully expect them to be firing
Speaker 4: on all cylinders on Sunday.
Speaker 2: It allowed them to get Frank Ragnow back their center
Speaker 2: and so they'll likely be full strength when it comes
Speaker 2: to their offensive line. And you know that's something that
Speaker 2: they dealt with, you know in the last game against
Speaker 2: Seattle where they were kind of mixing matching some guys.
Speaker 2: The week off just allowed them to heal up and
Speaker 2: get their starting center backers really really good. You know,
Speaker 2: you just it could be. I mean we've seen teams
Speaker 2: come out flat after a week off. You kind of like,
Speaker 2: you know, you get into the flow of the game.
Speaker 2: But I'm kind of with Nick. I mean, this team
Speaker 2: is so well coached. You know, the people that the
Speaker 2: players that they have on this team, I mean, they've
Speaker 2: got some veteran guys. They they know what's ahead for them.
Speaker 2: You know that you can't come out and you know
Speaker 2: Dallas has got your attention the last couple of weeks,
Speaker 2: you know, with the Giants game and then you know
Speaker 2: with the with the Steelers game. You know, not a
Speaker 2: lot of people gave them an opportunity to win that
Speaker 2: football game against the Steelers the other day with being
Speaker 2: short handed. We'll hither short handed again. If you're the
Speaker 2: Lions and thinking, oh, we're just going to roll out
Speaker 2: our helmets, We'll talk to the Seahawks last week when
Speaker 2: the Giants came rolling in there and went up and
Speaker 2: down the field on them and held the ball for
Speaker 2: extra fifteen minutes in that football game. You know you've
Speaker 2: got to be on the screws every single week in
Speaker 2: the NFL where you're gonna get beat. You know so
Speaker 2: many trust me, I've had to do these damn Bett
Speaker 2: payoffs every week trying to pick a favorite. Oh I
Speaker 2: got lucky. I picked the commander, so that the Browns
Speaker 2: are bad right now. So I mean, that's but that's
Speaker 2: where we're at. You know, that's that's where we're at.
Speaker 2: If you don't go out there and play your absolute best,
Speaker 2: someone will find a way to beat you. And it's
Speaker 2: happened in a bunch in the National Football League. And
Speaker 2: if the Lions coming their flat and Dallas jumps on
Speaker 2: top of them, and you know, in a way we go,
Speaker 2: you know, make it a fistfight, and you know, see
Speaker 2: who the better team is.
Speaker 6: I think I agree with you guys, definitely seeing mores
Speaker 6: rest and I feel like this game, it's a lot
Speaker 6: more meaningful and important for the Lions. And this is
Speaker 6: this is a weird way to say it, but I'm
Speaker 6: saying as far as like how embarrassed, pissed off and
Speaker 6: mad and salty they wear after that last loss against
Speaker 6: the Cowboys. So I think they're coming into at and
Speaker 6: T Stadium looking for revenge, looking to redeem themselves, and
Speaker 6: the Cowboys are in a different position. Yeah, this is
Speaker 6: an important win, especially you haven't had one at home.
Speaker 6: You're looking for that and you're struggling with the guys
Speaker 6: that you don't have in the game currently.
Speaker 4: Available for your team.
Speaker 6: But I just feel like there's just a slight more
Speaker 6: importance to the Detroit Lions in this game.
Speaker 4: That's a good point because emotional is not always a
Speaker 4: negative trait, and the Detroit Lions are a perfect example
Speaker 4: of that. They are an emotional team in the sense
Speaker 4: that Dan Campbell brings them out with all of this energy.
Speaker 4: Their offensive leaders bring them out with all this energy.
Speaker 4: Im In Ross Saint Brown's got this big personality, so
Speaker 4: when they take that to the field, it definitely does translate.
Speaker 4: And I think if you look at the team the
Speaker 4: way they are wired, factor in that loss that was
Speaker 4: just ten months ago and the last home game that
Speaker 4: the Cowboys won. Oddly enough, they're gonna come in with
Speaker 4: that on their minds.
Speaker 5: But does it translate Do we have enough history to
Speaker 5: show that when they're emotional and they're whatever they are
Speaker 5: after coming out of that game, that when they come
Speaker 5: out the next time, it's gonna be fire and brims like.
Speaker 4: I don't know, it depends if you can quantify emotions.
Speaker 4: But I think in the Lions case, I mean, you
Speaker 4: saw the mentality of that team kind of carry them
Speaker 4: through the postseason last year. And if we go back
Speaker 4: two years ago, they were left for dead in the
Speaker 4: middle of the in the middle of the season and
Speaker 4: they rattled off I think it was five or six
Speaker 4: straight wins. They didn't make the playoffs, but they.
Speaker 2: Kept the Packers out of the playoffs and the last
Speaker 2: playing for nothing. I'll say this, Dan Campbell could have
Speaker 2: after all that happened in that game last week or
Speaker 2: last year, could have just kicked the extra point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he could have kicked you multiple times.
Speaker 2: He was that stubborn yeah, you know, and that your
Speaker 2: attitude did you talk about? You know? And if there's
Speaker 2: anybody to blame for that game. Dan Campbell, you know,
Speaker 2: like the football god said, bro, don't go for two here,
Speaker 2: and he said, kept telling it, and he said, no,
Speaker 2: football gods, I know better, you know, and all of
Speaker 2: a sudden you lose. And after the game his players
Speaker 2: have to look at him and go, man, I appreciate
Speaker 2: the trust that this guy has in us, and we
Speaker 2: got to do better. But damn, we could have just
Speaker 2: kicked the extra point. We had Dallas on the ropes,
Speaker 2: probably would have won the toss, probably would have driven
Speaker 2: down and scored the game. You know, there's a lot
Speaker 2: of things I think. I think the Lions are a
Speaker 2: very I admire him. I think they're a very cavalier team.
Speaker 2: I think they're very And that's your coach. He's hey,
Speaker 2: we're gonna bite your kneecaps. And he's that guy, and
Speaker 2: you're kind of like, as a fan, you're like, all right,
Speaker 2: the Lions, oh, actually got a roar, you know, here
Speaker 2: we go. But you know, he could have very well said,
Speaker 2: all right, I'm not gonna test fate anymore. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: kick this extra point and we're gonna play, and we're
Speaker 2: gonna we could win this game in overtime if we have.
Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying to your question, Derek. I don't
Speaker 6: know if it will fully translate on the field. I
Speaker 6: mean what we'll see this weekend, but I just it
Speaker 6: makes me feel like as far as preparation leading up
Speaker 6: to and coming off of BUYE, I think it changes
Speaker 6: a little bit too, where you're putting more effort in
Speaker 6: there and just coming in with that eagerness and attitude
Speaker 6: to want to go in there and like win this game.
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of pressure on Dallas though, myself, absolutely,
Speaker 2: because of what's about to happen the next six weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, I mean we'll see with the forty nine ers,
Speaker 2: but the Commanders have started to play football now, and
Speaker 2: then the Texans are playing football. You know, You've got
Speaker 2: all these games coming up where these teams Atlanta, you're thinking, Wow,
Speaker 2: catch a break, noon game in Atlanta.
Speaker 3: All good.
Speaker 2: No, you're gonna have to go out there and fight
Speaker 2: like a son of a gun to win that game.
Speaker 4: Noon game. Kirk Cousins. No, that's a Hall of Fame player.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah. Yeah, I mean it's crazy. It's crazy how
Speaker 2: this season after five weeks you kind of felt like
Speaker 2: we were you, man, we're gonna beat the Saints. Man,
Speaker 2: we're probably gonna lose the Ravens. Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 2: about that Steelers game, and it's it's just been wild
Speaker 2: so far. But then the next you know, after this game,
Speaker 2: it kind of the bye and then who knows with
Speaker 2: San Francisco, who knows what team's going to show up there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know that's this is the San Francisco.
Speaker 3: M not to get too far ahead, but.
Speaker 2: But this is the pressure I'm talking about. You need
Speaker 2: to win these home games. You don't need to be
Speaker 2: zero to three going into the season. That's pressure. Like
Speaker 2: you won all your home games last year and now
Speaker 2: you're you can't win one. That's not a good thing
Speaker 2: to have happened.
Speaker 5: And I will say this to you to your point, Amber,
Speaker 5: I do think I understand what you're saying, and I
Speaker 5: think that probably helps them, maybe steer them steer themselves
Speaker 5: away from being too overconfident and not preparing. But any
Speaker 5: one of us you go out for a week of vacation,
Speaker 5: that day you can come back from vacation, it's probably
Speaker 5: one of the hardest days because you're just getting yourself
Speaker 5: back into the groove, and I think I think that's
Speaker 5: I think coming off of a buy is harder than
Speaker 5: people think. I think people always give the benefit of oh,
Speaker 5: they got the Bisley, they must be rested. Yes, they
Speaker 5: are rested, but they also may not be as on
Speaker 5: it as you said. They may not be on the
Speaker 5: screws because they've had this time where they've kind of
Speaker 5: let off for a bit, they've relaxed a little bit,
Speaker 5: and they have to get back into that boh.
Speaker 3: And I do think there's something to that.
Speaker 2: The league, The league makes you feel that way because
Speaker 2: they mandatory, did you have to stay away for like
Speaker 2: five days? They sometime those guys he would practice them
Speaker 2: all the way up till Friday and then give him
Speaker 2: like Saturday and then but now the league says, no,
Speaker 2: wait a minute, you gotta give them five days, and
Speaker 2: then you get off those five days. It's good to
Speaker 2: have a break, But man, you come back, and Derek's right,
Speaker 2: you're kind of like, oh, man, I can't believe I
Speaker 2: had to come back.
Speaker 5: So where you would normally be studying really hard on
Speaker 5: that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, maybe now you just kind of
Speaker 5: ease back in.
Speaker 3: You don't study as.
Speaker 5: Hard on Monday and Tuesday, maybe a little bit harder
Speaker 5: on Wednesday, but that's a little less time that you spend.
Speaker 5: And again, I'm not saying it's it's probably not the
Speaker 5: same for every player.
Speaker 3: Every player is probably different.
Speaker 5: All I'm saying is there is a natural tendency among
Speaker 5: us as human beings when you work really, really, really
Speaker 5: really hard and then you get some off time, it
Speaker 5: takes you a while to ramp back up to that
Speaker 5: once you get back from.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be doing the break by myself next Friday
Speaker 2: when you take that day.
Speaker 5: Oh, we're taking that day off, those two days off
Speaker 5: next time.
Speaker 3: They will talk about that after.
Speaker 4: The way there though. There is some leeway there though,
Speaker 4: because typically on Mondays they come in and they watch
Speaker 4: film from the previous game, do corrections, and then they
Speaker 4: move on on Wednesday to the next game. When they
Speaker 4: come in on Monday after the bye week. The Cowboys,
Speaker 4: when they come in Monday after the bye week, they
Speaker 4: are going to San Francisco, so they're getting an extra
Speaker 4: day to prep on San Francisco in the building. So
Speaker 4: I think that's just what focus would be there. Yeah,
Speaker 4: let's say that they are not completely then they're right
Speaker 4: back on schedule, you know, and in this case, they're
Speaker 4: just a little bit of head of schedule. But the
Speaker 4: Niners also have an off week next week, so they'll
Speaker 4: have the same amount of prep.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, Kansas City this don't they play Kansas City
Speaker 2: this next week? Next next year.
Speaker 5: I thought the Niners had to buy after they have
Speaker 5: they have a buye before before the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: Came fairly certain check y'all got me some reason?
Speaker 5: I thought last night on the broadcast the city after
Speaker 5: the Cowboys game, they got them all right after the
Speaker 5: after the Cowboys came straight down.
Speaker 3: More people, more people, So we can correct one another.
Speaker 6: It's gonna be a messy game for the Cowboys again
Speaker 6: once they face the forty nine, going by your logic here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And by the way, I think that's something we've
Speaker 5: seen in the past, Like we've seen when the Cowboys
Speaker 5: have a little time, they don't come back always as
Speaker 5: on top of it is as they as you want
Speaker 5: them to be.
Speaker 4: So I know nothing here, but I just know I
Speaker 4: just know McCaffrey is gonna come back for that game,
Speaker 4: right yeah.
Speaker 2: But course Cherry Rice is going to play that day.
Speaker 2: There gonna Roger rag Joe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's Terrors Spartan.
Speaker 2: They're all gonna play.
Speaker 4: They're gonna get Charles Haley on their side.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Roddy Lott's gonna show up.
Speaker 3: All right, Let's take a break. Let's take a break.
Speaker 2: We' way off the horse.
Speaker 3: We've gotta take a break. We're gonna come back.

Speaker 2: Soccer mom watching soccer moms are smarter than soccer decks.
Speaker 3: That is facts. You're right about that.
Speaker 5: Well, Dad probably didn't need to figure that out.
Speaker 2: He's got soccer mom. It's got to figure it out,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 6: So for this game, I've handed out different quotes and
Speaker 6: we're just gonna go around the room. I'm going to
Speaker 6: read a quote and we'll see what comes out of
Speaker 6: it and how we can apply it to a story
Speaker 6: in football or real life. Okay, I'll start off with
Speaker 6: the first one and give you guys an example when
Speaker 6: you squeeze the ketchup and the bottle farts. So this
Speaker 6: reminds me of when Brandon Aubrey this last game was
Speaker 6: about to kick that field goal and then he gets blocked.
Speaker 6: You know, you're expecting ketchup to automatically come out, but
Speaker 6: then you guys and don't catch up any other ideas
Speaker 6: that you guys suggest for this quote.
Speaker 13: The Phillips, the Phillips, that's fairy like that one, that's good.
Speaker 2: How about to play the dattle when the ball was
Speaker 2: supposed to go off tackle now it's on the ground
Speaker 2: and you're like.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, that's that's the sound effect.
Speaker 5: No, I was literally thinking that one because that's the
Speaker 5: sound effect too. Of as soon as the ball pops out,
Speaker 5: like that's exactly what we heard.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, so.
Speaker 4: That's good one.
Speaker 6: Derek. You want to pick.
Speaker 3: When you find a random onion ring in your French fries?
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 9: This.
Speaker 2: I love rings.
Speaker 4: I love on depending kind of you.
Speaker 3: Know what I'll tell you what it reminds me of.
Speaker 5: It reminds me of when you you lose guiding and
Speaker 5: and you're thinking, oh god, this is not going to
Speaker 5: be good, and then all of a sudden.
Speaker 3: Oh, they bring in they bring in past.
Speaker 2: We go.
Speaker 3: You know, I think it's like, that's that's what I felt.
Speaker 2: That's pretty good.
Speaker 4: I'm thinking of Brandon Aubrey last season, like bringing it
Speaker 4: bringing him in last season, because you remember, at the
Speaker 4: beginning of the year, everyone was like, this is not
Speaker 4: going to work, this be awful. He misses the first
Speaker 4: extra point, It's like, oh gosh, when are we bringing
Speaker 4: in Crosby? And then uh yeah. He ended up being
Speaker 4: the best rookie kicker of all time, our first year kicker,
Speaker 4: But wasn't a rookie.
Speaker 3: You weren't on the break with us at that point.
Speaker 3: I was not Yeah, you didn't get the experience we
Speaker 3: got exactly.
Speaker 5: We thought was going to be the worst kicker in
Speaker 5: Like literally, as we were sitting on the set one day,
Speaker 5: he was just spraying balls. And you remember, our set
Speaker 5: is not behind the goalposts, it's like to the side
Speaker 5: of the go and we were just getting sprayed with
Speaker 5: balls and we were like this is going to be
Speaker 5: the kicker this this can't be good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And sure enough he turned out to be pretty
Speaker 3: dog gone good. So we got that one wrong. We
Speaker 3: definitely got that one wrong.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ambar had to wear one first to get it right.
Speaker 2: I mean we were there's.
Speaker 4: So many pauses right now, guys, y'all are killing me.
Speaker 4: Are we ready? Go ahead?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 4: When the teacher thinks you're not listening, so they ask
Speaker 4: you a question and you get it right. Monsie Smith
Speaker 4: against the Giants, That's funny. That was That was what
Speaker 4: came to mind there.
Speaker 6: That's a good one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it was the best game he's had
Speaker 4: in his career. He was good to a geinst Pittsburgh too.
Speaker 4: I don't want to discount that. I think the trajectory
Speaker 4: is up.
Speaker 3: But we were like, we were like, is that MASSI?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Was that MASSI?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: It was a lot of that.
Speaker 4: It's like when you're in class in like tenth grade
Speaker 4: and the kid that you know is just never paying attention.
Speaker 4: The teacher calls on him and he somehow gets the
Speaker 4: algebraic equation completely correct and everyone's looking at him. I
Speaker 4: feel like that's what everybody was doing in the locker
Speaker 4: room with Mazie, like, all right, kid, I did his
Speaker 4: homework last night.
Speaker 2: Could you say about Cooper bebe Yeah, I think you
Speaker 2: kind of like, I mean, everybody was kind of I
Speaker 2: think everybody was on Cooper BB, but to the level of,
Speaker 2: like how well he's playing.
Speaker 4: I think certain people expected a certain level of his success.
Speaker 2: Kind of give up any pressures or anything like that.
Speaker 4: I mean, he's been really good in pass protection. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he's been awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I kind of feel like that with Cooper BB.
Speaker 2: We do.
Speaker 5: I'll say that that's probably Kayln Carson in training camp.
Speaker 5: He came out of nowhere a little bit in training camp,
Speaker 5: and and it.
Speaker 2: Was that kind of thought he was gonna be good though.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, No.
Speaker 5: What I mean by that is I thought we all
Speaker 5: thought listening to to all the projections of what he was,
Speaker 5: I thought we thought he'd be good later. I don't
Speaker 5: think anybody thought he'd be good enough to wear going
Speaker 5: into week one. We all felt like, oh, yeah, throw
Speaker 5: him out there, we'll see what happens. Like usually you
Speaker 5: lose bland and you're like, I don't I don't know,
Speaker 5: We're I don't know what they're gonna do.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 5: I don't think it was that feeling because in training camp,
Speaker 5: Kaylen Carson made all of us feel a lot more
Speaker 5: secure in the fact that we thought he could handle it.
Speaker 4: Is corner one of those positions that you look at
Speaker 4: and this is probably a deeper, fur ast me question
Speaker 4: that might hijack the whole game here. It's corner, one
Speaker 4: of these positions that you feel like, uh, you either
Speaker 4: played or you can either play it or you can't.
Speaker 3: I think there's so so you mean like when you
Speaker 3: come in, you're you are what you are?
Speaker 4: Yeah, And innocence, innocence trying to think if.
Speaker 5: I've seen that in history, Like from the standpoint of
Speaker 5: somebody being good, I think of Orlando Scandrick, who at
Speaker 5: first I don't know if he was as good as
Speaker 5: he ended up being.
Speaker 2: What do you do you.
Speaker 5: Remember that, Brian, Yeah, it seemed like he had a
Speaker 5: little bit of time. It took him to kind of
Speaker 5: get acclimated, and then he was pretty good for a
Speaker 5: lot of years.
Speaker 2: Because everybody thought the kid that they took from Central
Speaker 2: Florida Jenkins. Yeah, yeah, everybody was thinking that Jenkins was
Speaker 2: gonna be that guy Jenkins, Shenkins, Jenkins and then Scandrick
Speaker 2: actually turned out as a fifth round player to be
Speaker 2: a better player, yeah than Jenkins. So that makes some sense. Yeah,
Speaker 2: absolutely absolutely. All right, here's one for you. When you
Speaker 2: try a risky new fashion trend and the streets love it,
Speaker 2: you try a risky new fashion trend in the streets.
Speaker 5: Would that be the drafting of Michael Parsons. He felt
Speaker 5: like he was not, Like there were a lot of
Speaker 5: teams that could have taken him. Yeah, And I don't
Speaker 5: think I don't to be honestly, I don't even know
Speaker 5: if Dallas Cowboys really wanted him as high as they
Speaker 5: they traded. Yes, they were going to pick, and then
Speaker 5: they ended up with something that obviously everybody.
Speaker 2: They were looking at those corners, Yeah, they were looking
Speaker 2: at Tan and Horn, and then all of a sudden
Speaker 2: those guys went in front of him that very well
Speaker 2: could be you know, the whole thing. I think Micah Parsons.
Speaker 2: The thoughts about Michah Parsons changed when they made him
Speaker 2: an end and he wasn't. He was like draft as
Speaker 2: an off ball linebacker, and everybody was like, well, good pick,
Speaker 2: could be a solid pick, you know, and all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, tank gets hurt, and now he's playing it.
Speaker 2: He's rushing and you're like, wait a minute, he could
Speaker 2: rush that kind of thing.
Speaker 5: So and that's your answer, right in moving him to
Speaker 5: defensive end. That's the thing that you did risky. And
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden the streets love it.
Speaker 2: Right. That's that's very good. That is a very good one.
Speaker 2: It might be the best one.
Speaker 6: I don't have any other one for that, but okay,
Speaker 6: here's the next one. When you try to catch a
Speaker 6: grape in your mouth and he bounces off your tooth.
Speaker 6: To me, this reminds me sometimes of when you're confirming.
Speaker 6: It reminds me sometimes when I'm watching turping trying to
Speaker 6: return and and he's catching the ball and then you
Speaker 6: think he's about to go off, and then sometimes he
Speaker 6: just dances around for a little bit and it's just
Speaker 6: like the play.
Speaker 2: It didn't cut it much. I kind of thought this
Speaker 2: was a past to span Ford and sometimes goes right
Speaker 2: and the other just kind of your face. I kind
Speaker 2: of feel like that's you know, a great caught it.
Speaker 2: Throw another one. It hits me in the eye, It
Speaker 2: hits my foread, you know that kind of it kind
Speaker 2: of feel like that's like sometimes you go with the
Speaker 2: spa Ford you just don't know. It might go right
Speaker 2: where it needs to go, or it might not, or
Speaker 2: it might not.
Speaker 12: All right.
Speaker 3: Here, I got another one.
Speaker 5: When you ask Alexa a simple question and she gives
Speaker 5: you an attitude?
Speaker 4: Perfect What happens.
Speaker 3: When you ask Alexa a simple question and.
Speaker 4: Here's the one asking the question. Yeah, yeah, I was,
Speaker 4: I was the one being a dramatic. Let me think
Speaker 4: when you ask a question, Alexa gives you an attitude.
Speaker 4: I think Trayvon gives probably the most attitude and and
Speaker 4: uh press availabilities. I have nothing that gets travon, but
Speaker 4: it just just you think, Yeah, I think of like
Speaker 4: the assessment if I had to assess everybody in the
Speaker 4: locker room that talks routinely, Trayvon probably has the most,
Speaker 4: but it's very subtle attitude. Somebody will ask him a question,
Speaker 4: he'll just kind of give that side.
Speaker 5: I like, yeah, like, I don't know what you're trying
Speaker 5: to say, but that was kind of dumb, but whatever.
Speaker 2: I kind of feel like any discussion you have about
Speaker 2: dak mm hmm. You know that's kind of where I mean,
Speaker 2: somebody somebody's gonna give you. We wait you don't want
Speaker 2: him to you don't like him as a quarterback. No,
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just trying to Oh, well, he's somebody's
Speaker 2: always going to give you an attitude. When you ask somebody,
Speaker 2: whether in the media or fan whatever about it, have
Speaker 2: a Dak question, they give you the they give you
Speaker 2: an attitude coming back. Nobody know it's all. It's very defensive.
Speaker 2: I think when you have a Dak discussion with the
Speaker 2: good or the.
Speaker 4: Bad man Twitter Dak discourses, Yeah, it'll never end. It'll
Speaker 4: never ever end.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I say, you bring up the word just this
Speaker 5: one word Curtains with Jerry.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I had it the other day.
Speaker 5: You're gonna get something back. He does not like that
Speaker 5: conversa the other day. I mean, he's like their son everywhere.
Speaker 5: This is not new to the world, the sun everywhere.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Curtain doesn't like Curtain Stadium.
Speaker 4: That conversation. Ready, Okay, does it have to be Cowboys related,
Speaker 4: because I have a good one that's just NFL related.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Okay. When you peel a banana and there's
Speaker 4: a bruise on it, Deshaun Watson's guaranteed contract of whatever
Speaker 4: whatever that number is, because that is that's a big
Speaker 4: bruise on that banana.
Speaker 5: So many ways to go with that, and I'm gonna
Speaker 5: leave it all alone.
Speaker 3: We'll leave that alone. Let's move on in the next, next.
Speaker 2: Next. When someone's contract, Yeah, when someone is giving you
Speaker 2: directions and starts using words like east and west, it's
Speaker 2: gotta be McCarthy in the word salad he has he does.
Speaker 2: He always like, he'll say something you're.
Speaker 4: Like, well, it's like anything, you just take it east.
Speaker 2: You just gotta get you know, has to do with
Speaker 2: the secondary and that's two level read. And then you
Speaker 2: know he's always something going.
Speaker 6: I mean, good meet Jerry too, because he won't do
Speaker 6: ray the conversation and then you go into some crazy stories.
Speaker 4: I mean they're always funny.
Speaker 5: But I actually think he does that on purpose too.
Speaker 5: I think when Jerry doesn't want to talk about something,
Speaker 5: I think he just takes that conversation right over here
Speaker 5: and he's just got to tell you a story. Parcells
Speaker 5: used to do that a lot in his prescott. If
Speaker 5: you didn't want to talk about something, he would take
Speaker 5: you into this story. And by the time he finished
Speaker 5: the story, you'd be like, man, that was such an
Speaker 5: awesome story, and you forgot all about the question you
Speaker 5: really asked because you were just enamored with this story
Speaker 5: he told you.
Speaker 3: I think they all do that when they want to
Speaker 3: get away from whatever it is.
Speaker 4: How I feel about Brian's parcels stories too.
Speaker 2: Man, that's trauma.
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 2: Do we still do one more? You guys? Maybe another
Speaker 2: one when you find the perfect rock to skip but
Speaker 2: mess up the throw?
Speaker 14: Oh?
Speaker 4: What did I just say?
Speaker 2: Come on?
Speaker 4: What did I just say earlier?
Speaker 6: It was a quarterback?
Speaker 4: Trey Lance?
Speaker 2: Yeah, very well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a good injury, right there, Trey Lance. That's
Speaker 5: appreciate you guys for that. That was a good game. Member.
Speaker 5: We made it through, and I think we're all still
Speaker 5: in tech. I think I will not get any phone
Speaker 5: calls or text messages about this.
Speaker 3: I have and to this point. So we're good.
Speaker 5: All right, let's get into the final segment. We're going

Speaker 5: Welcome back, final segment of the Break live from the
Speaker 5: s w BC Mortgage studios. At the start of the
Speaker 5: segments brought to you by blockchain dot Com.
Speaker 3: All right, we'll take that ding.
Speaker 5: All right, got a couple of questions for you guys
Speaker 5: before we make our picks for the week.
Speaker 3: First question, rank these offensive.
Speaker 5: Threats for Detroit. I want you to rank them from
Speaker 5: least to most concerning. I'man Ross, Saint Brown, Jamison Williams,
Speaker 5: Sam Laporta, Jamiir Gibbs, David Montgomery.
Speaker 4: Oh God, I'm going to go. I'm gonna go. Gibbs, Montgomery.
Speaker 3: What gives the least the disrespect?
Speaker 4: Yeah, St Brown Coffee. Yeah, it's the coffee. Saint Brown, Laporta, Williams, Montgomery, Gibbs.
Speaker 5: Huh, that's interesting you put Williams above Saint Brown and Laporta.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The big playability and Dallas the secondary has definitely been
Speaker 4: prone to giving up those big plays. And if they're
Speaker 4: looking for a big yeah, Rashid Shaheed, Rashid Stateman. They've
Speaker 4: been to this year and there were two costly ones, absolutely.
Speaker 5: But they've been two and I saw the stat on
Speaker 5: our Next Gen Sets website. They've only Cowboys have only
Speaker 5: given up two big plays that were twenty plus yard
Speaker 5: air yards. Two of those plays out of twenty opportunities
Speaker 5: when when teams have taken shot. So when you said, yes,
Speaker 5: you're right, we remember those plays because those plays were huge.
Speaker 5: But when you think about the grand scheme of how
Speaker 5: many times teams have tried it and been successful, Dallas
Speaker 5: has done pretty good job of stopping teams from having
Speaker 5: big plays on them.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The more so the thing is for me is I
Speaker 4: would rather have Alman Ross Saint Brown have ten receptions
Speaker 4: for seventy yards than Jamis and Williams have two for
Speaker 4: ninety five. That's just kind of how I'm fair.
Speaker 16: That's fair, that's not right. I appreciate that. That's some
Speaker 16: draft show love right there.
Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's Williams, Montgomery, Laporta, Saint Brown,
Speaker 2: and then Gibbs for.
Speaker 3: Me, okay, and to give me some clarity on on
Speaker 3: why you think that.
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't think they're They very well could try
Speaker 2: and throw the ball deep, but they don't. They just
Speaker 2: don't run vertical routes. That's there. But they could watch
Speaker 2: tape like everybody else and say, you know what, we're
Speaker 2: going to take a shot. Williams even running across the
Speaker 2: field on the move, throwing him run after catch is
Speaker 2: still huge, But I kind of see him more as
Speaker 2: that downfield type of guy potentially in the big play
Speaker 2: that way. So I'm gonna take my chances with that.
Speaker 2: Montgomery I think is good. I just you know, as
Speaker 2: as a complimentary back. I mean, he's still the power
Speaker 2: and the ability to run inside outside, and he's just
Speaker 2: a physical guy. I feel like though with Laporta, that
Speaker 2: he's a guy that you're going to have to find
Speaker 2: a way. You almost have to treat him like a
Speaker 2: wide receiver. You know, how is Jordan Lewis going to
Speaker 2: get some coverage snaps. You're going to put a safety
Speaker 2: on him. Can hook or handle him? Can Wilson handle him?
Speaker 2: You know the linebackers. Kendricks is one of your better
Speaker 2: cover guys. Now he's probably going to be out, so
Speaker 2: that's going to be a problem. I think the thing
Speaker 2: was Saint Brown, all those inbreaking routes, run after catch,
Speaker 2: you know when when they need a big play, and
Speaker 2: the dude even throws for touchdowns. You know the Philly
Speaker 2: special that they ran in the Seattle game. But Gibbs
Speaker 2: is this I just worry about Gibbs. Just keep handing
Speaker 2: him the ball, handing the ball. I mean, I know
Speaker 2: our guys are Our morning show had on Dan Miller,
Speaker 2: who does the Lions play by play, and and he
Speaker 2: was you know, they asked the question, hey, is this guy,
Speaker 2: can they can you run the ball forty times? And
Speaker 2: he goes, you know, if if they feel like that
Speaker 2: they can do it, Yeah, they'll run the ball forty times.
Speaker 2: I worry something like.
Speaker 3: I got too capable back.
Speaker 2: I do. I worry about Gibbs and just how explosive
Speaker 2: he can be in this game.
Speaker 6: Okay, I would have to go with Montgomery, Gibbs, Saint Brown, Williams. No,
Speaker 6: actually I would do Laporta Williams. I think that's not everybody.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Running Game. You said they're gonna they're
Speaker 4: gonna bottle.
Speaker 2: The Running Game.
Speaker 6: I mean is it's been the biggest thing I think
Speaker 6: that the Cowboys struggle with. So I have to whoever
Speaker 6: it is, I'm gonna put them first because I do
Speaker 6: think this is going to be a struggle for the especially.
Speaker 3: You did just most to Lease.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, okay, so that's fine.
Speaker 5: I would just make sure because in my mind I
Speaker 5: was like I thought you were That's what I think
Speaker 5: we all would think what you were saying, the running
Speaker 5: backs or the least.
Speaker 2: No, no, sorry, should survey about if the boss is clear,
Speaker 2: if the survey asked your boss clear and concise?
Speaker 6: All right, No, I mean that's not usually you know,
Speaker 6: that's what you start a list. I don't know to bottom,
Speaker 6: I'm glad we all agree against Derek on this case,
Speaker 6: but no, absolutely with the and also with Kendricks potentially
Speaker 6: not being in there. I think it just brings more
Speaker 6: attention to the running game being harder or more difficult
Speaker 6: to take care of in a game like this, so
Speaker 6: they would top higher. Yeah, and then the rest I
Speaker 6: mean Laporta. That's another area that I think that it
Speaker 6: could potentially hurt the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: For me, I just trust the secondary. I think that
Speaker 4: was more so much reasoning I do.
Speaker 2: No, I'm serious and smart. I'm glad you do.
Speaker 4: Deron Bland coming back, whether it be twenty five thirty snaps,
Speaker 4: whatever it is, treyvon Diggs, it looks like he's back
Speaker 4: to full form. It looks like he's hit the ground running.
Speaker 4: I think these safeties have cleaned it up in these
Speaker 4: last couple of weeks. I still would like to see
Speaker 4: more Marquise bell on passing downs, but nevertheless, I trust
Speaker 4: the second area.
Speaker 2: Would you if you're going to play, if you're going
Speaker 2: to play Bland for say, twenty twenty five plays, would
Speaker 2: you put him on Laporta every single time?
Speaker 4: No? Because I trust I trust leafel Over shown Okay, Wilson, Okay, Wilson.
Speaker 5: I would actually mix it up. I wouldn't show him
Speaker 5: the same look, so I would do a little bit
Speaker 5: of that. I may use a little bit of Bland.
Speaker 5: I may use a little bit of Jordan, like I'd
Speaker 5: mix it up on Laporter and just make sure that
Speaker 5: they don't know what I'm doing with Laporter.
Speaker 3: They can't get a.
Speaker 5: Beat on it, so that they can't really they know
Speaker 5: every given.
Speaker 3: Play could be a little different.
Speaker 5: So I have to think about that and hopefully that
Speaker 5: takes him out of the game a little bit more.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe somebody that's not as quick and doesn't run
Speaker 2: as fast get kind of Bland back in the game.
Speaker 2: That's kind of what I was thinking.
Speaker 4: They look at Jamison Williams.
Speaker 2: Don't don't put him on Jamie because he'll run by.
Speaker 3: Is there anybody can match his speed in the secondary?
Speaker 4: Not really? I mean you got the you got the
Speaker 4: length of Trayvon Diggs. Yeah.
Speaker 2: When I wouldn't let him get started though, he can
Speaker 2: free access and routes, man, he can kill you.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Okay, one other real quick question before we do our picks.
Speaker 5: If Detroit can effectively limit CD after you hit him.
Speaker 5: Last year for a big day, he had thirteen catches
Speaker 5: two hundred twenty seven yards, including a ninety two yard touchdown.
Speaker 5: So so obviously he's going to be a target for them. Yeah,
Speaker 5: who has the better chance of making them pay for
Speaker 5: doing for paying extra attention to CD Between Jake Ferguson,
Speaker 5: Jaylen Tolbert, Cavanti Turpin and Ricodowbele.
Speaker 4: I would like to I'd like to look at Jake Ferguson.
Speaker 4: I think this is an opportunity for him. Linebacker depth
Speaker 4: is dealing with some injuries. They got a guy on IR.
Speaker 4: I think they could. You could look at Jake Ferguson,
Speaker 4: but also you gotta fight factor in the Brian Branch problem,
Speaker 4: and that's just going to bed. That's gonna be weird
Speaker 4: because he does something different every week. It feels like,
Speaker 4: so if he's on Jake Ferguson, then maybe it's shaling Tolbert.
Speaker 4: But I think there can be another guy in this
Speaker 4: game that can that can be Dak's reliable weapon. But
Speaker 4: I also think Seed's gonna have a day, so we'll
Speaker 4: see Colbert overt. Yeah, I would agree on Tolber.
Speaker 6: I mean, that's kind of what it's been trending at
Speaker 6: the moment, and I think it's his arrow is trending
Speaker 6: up with the connection that he has with Dak and
Speaker 6: I think with Ferguson, I mean, I absolutely love Ferguson
Speaker 6: and I think he's extremely talented, but he still hasn't
Speaker 6: been like made his presence known after coming back from
Speaker 6: the injury. I think he's still kind of getting his
Speaker 6: way back up because that's a guy and tight end
Speaker 6: has always been a position that Dak has always relied on,
Speaker 6: and it just hasn't been the same just yet for
Speaker 6: what it's been in the season.
Speaker 5: So I honestly think if this game Cowboys win this game,
Speaker 5: it will be because Cavanti Turpin makes some plays for them.
Speaker 5: Sure love that, because I think this is going to
Speaker 5: be a game the offense is going to have to
Speaker 5: score a lot of points.
Speaker 3: They're gonna need some big plays.
Speaker 5: I think Turpin adds that that part to the game
Speaker 5: that that really they never really took advantage of with
Speaker 5: Cooks in my opinion, in that way. But we saw
Speaker 5: even last week they used Turping a lot more in
Speaker 5: that kind of role last week where they were just
Speaker 5: kind of using him a little bit more in a
Speaker 5: diverse way than what they would use Cooks.
Speaker 3: I just remember, they're going to do the same thing
Speaker 3: this game.
Speaker 2: Just remember, right, before half. In the game at Green
Speaker 2: Bay at lambeau Field on Decks first year, they ran
Speaker 2: a jet sweep with a lucky whitehead. Remember that they
Speaker 2: got of the third down conversion and then they drove
Speaker 2: down the field and scored a touchdown right before half,
Speaker 2: and that really turned the game around. So anything like
Speaker 2: that to get turpin. You know, if you could get
Speaker 2: a kickoff return or punmet or something like that, you
Speaker 2: need to go.
Speaker 4: That would require motion at the snap.
Speaker 2: All right, you're hungry, yeah, like moving this along.
Speaker 6: Close food, Let's go.
Speaker 3: All right, give me picks, let's go. Let's start with you.
Speaker 2: Brian, uh Detroit thirty one, Dallas twenty.
Speaker 4: I think this is gonna be a lot of fun.
Speaker 4: I think this game is gonna be a lot of
Speaker 4: fun to watch. But I think the Lions take a
Speaker 4: thirty eight thirty four.
Speaker 6: Oh okay, Brian, what about eighteen thirteen.
Speaker 2: Score?
Speaker 14: You want?
Speaker 2: You wanted to weird?
Speaker 3: Wore really weird score.
Speaker 6: That's extremely weird right there. But I I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 6: gonna go with the Cowboys winning this one, mainly because
Speaker 6: I picked them to lose last week and I just
Speaker 6: hate picking two losses in a row.
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 6: But either way, I do think being at home, this
Speaker 6: is a game that hopefully they can come into this
Speaker 6: week and just find a way to have the NFL
Speaker 6: weird Lady be on their their strange lady be on
Speaker 6: their side this weekend.
Speaker 4: So Cowboys, I think.
Speaker 5: The next two games are against teams that are very
Speaker 5: very similar and very good, and I think Dallas is
Speaker 5: gonna win one of the two. I'm gonna pick them
Speaker 5: this week beat Detroit, and I think they win twenty
Speaker 5: four to twenty here at at and T Stadium, get
Speaker 5: their first home win the last what would that be.
Speaker 3: Since Detroit games? Yeah, yeah, So so I think they
Speaker 3: get back on the winn.
Speaker 4: We're gonna hold you to that when you pick against
Speaker 4: when you pick the Cowboys against San Francisco.
Speaker 3: Here a couple of weeks, Well, we'll see what happens
Speaker 3: this weekend. That's fair that what happens weekend. But I
Speaker 3: think they're gonna I think they're gonna win one of
Speaker 3: those two games. I really do.
Speaker 5: I think they're gonna they're gonna need one of those
Speaker 5: two games. I think they're gonna get one.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Ambarno, you're trying to get out of here
Speaker 4: Texas OU prediction I know, but like score.
Speaker 5: I actually think this this year will be I'm a
Speaker 5: little fraid to say this out loud.
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a pull out.
Speaker 4: I think so too, but I wouldn't.
Speaker 5: I just I don't trust Texas OU is Texas OU,
Speaker 5: and crazy things happen in Texas O.
Speaker 2: Extas forty two, Oklahoma, seventeen thirty.
Speaker 3: Thank for saying what I was thinking. I appreciate you guys.
