We'll get you guys ready for that game. 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:03.600 Throughout the show today, we're gonna talk a little bit 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:05.360 about injuries. Let you guys know what we think as 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.520 far as what players should be playing this weekend and 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.360 maybe not, and also talk about our inactives list what 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.080 we think will happen there. And then I had some questions. 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.600 I was looking at these two teams, and there were 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.559 some interesting things when you compare what happened last week 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:23.680 with each of these teams in their respective games, and 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:25.680 some things that are kind of some trends that you 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.960 saw in that first game that are going to have 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:29.720 to be broken one way or the other this week, 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:31.280 and I want to get your opinions on those things. 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:34.400 We'll talk about that coming up here as well. So 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.440 let's start first with injuries. Yesterday on the injury report, 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.760 Cowboys have Anthony Hitchens Orlando Scandrick who were out, Terrence 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:45.480 Williams did not practice again, and Byron Jones now shows 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.880 up on the injury report as a limited participant in practice. 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.960 With a growing injury list, start first with Terrence Williams. 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:53.760 At this point, is he out of the boot or 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:55.440 is he still in the boot that he was sporting 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:59.040 earlier in the week. I haven't really seen him in 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.000 the locker room, but as far as on the field, 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:02.720 I mean, obviously he's not in the boot. I mean 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:06.360 that the boot is just something, you know, just to 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:08.200 kind of help him as he as. I mean, it's 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:09.639 better to be in it than out, but I mean 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.560 you don't like have to have it to walk. So, yeah, 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.359 he's out of it for the most part. Him is 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.399 He's doing some some things at practice, but I mean, 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.040 we'll see today. Today is the big day for him. 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.200 He's got to do something. I would imagine he's not 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.480 that status of like just sit all week and then play, 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:30.600 I wouldn't think. And they so they signed Brian Brown 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.800 to help him get through practice this week, and Bryce 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.240 Butler has been working with the first team. Noah Brown 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:39.320 has been working with the second team. So I mean 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.320 they're ready if Terrence isn't. Yeah, I don't know. Do 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.520 you think he needs to practice today to be ready 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.680 to go knowing that he played the whole game on 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:51.200 Sunday night with the injury, I just wouldn't. I wouldn't 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.480 expect him to play if he doesn't do anything for 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:57.040 three days, I wouldn't. I'd be surprised. But yeah, I 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.000 mean I still be surprised if he doesn't play at all, 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.680 because he walked. I mean he went into the locker 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.440 room after you know, after the injury. They looked at it. 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.200 It wasn't there's no structural damage. It was just you 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.520 have a sprained ankle. You have to just fight through it. 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:13.880 And he fought through it. I can't imagine seven days 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.440 later he can't fight through it again. Yeah, and that's 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.680 why I kind of wonder if he really has to 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.359 do anything in practice. Yeah, you kind of just say 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.239 rest him all week. Yeah, give him treatment all week. 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.200 You get to set Sunday, and hopefully he feels great 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.160 enough to play. He knows what he's supposed to do, right, 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.400 it makes sense. Yeah. I kind of waffle on this thing. 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.920 I was waffling yesterday. I don't have a better feel 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:35.840 for it today. I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:39.120 either way. What about fawful? I faffle every day, got 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.640 every single day. That's good to know. Yeah, awesome. All right, 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:44.880 let's talk about Byron Jones. Yesterday he shows up on 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:46.760 the injury poort. Is this something that happened in practice 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:48.920 or is this something that lingered from the game that 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:52.920 kind of came to a head yesterday. I honestly don't know, 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.200 because I mean, if a guy doesn't leave the game, 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.840 then you don't think to ask him if he's okay. 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.840 You know, I know the train were working on his 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:05.280 leg in the early part of practice before team even started, 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.520 So you know, I don't get the impression that this 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:09.520 is something that happened to him while he was running 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.040 for a ball or something like that. I think whether 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.080 whether it happened in Wednesday's practice or during the game, 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.960 either way, he kind of knew he had some soreness there. 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:22.159 I asked him yesterday in the locker room if he 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.159 was all right. He said, yeah, he's fine. I said, well, 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.599 what do you have? He said, I'm fine. I was like, 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.640 do you have, like an injury? I'm fine, So it's fine. Okay, 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.520 that's and that's a later did they officially come out 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:37.560 and say it was a groin injury, But he's he 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:41.159 wasn't even revealing what it was, so he's probably going 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.000 to be playing. That's football players right there. That's the 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:47.599 training staff that's got after him already and said, you know, 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.240 said don't don't say anything. You're fine. You don't need 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.200 to be talking about it through the media. So he didn't. 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:54.880 And at this point, I mean, it's a it's a 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.159 groin injury. But I guess it sounds like from listening 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.679 to you guys, you don't expect that this is something 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:01.919 that's to hold him out of the game. Sunday. I 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.560 don't get the impression it is, though, Like I said, 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.240 I mean, they were working on it before practice even started, 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.080 which you know, but he was suited up and participating 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.320 in stuff, which leads me to believe that it's a 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.440 minor But you know, but I always want to give 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.320 it both sides of the argument. This was very similar 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.000 to what happened to Tying around this time last year, 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:23.480 and I was like, well, you know, you know, they 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.120 want to be precautionary with it, and I don't think 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.039 it's a big deal. He was limited, he did this, 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:29.599 he did that, and then he sat out of the 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.919 Bears game, which was a shocker to me at least. 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.880 So and I don't know for sure what's going on 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:40.560 with Byron, but I think it's good to see both 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:42.880 sides of that argument, which is that I don't get 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:44.800 the impression this is serious, and I would guess he's 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.280 gonna play, but he's on the injury report, so that's 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.320 always something worth keeping. It. Would you assume that if 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.039 he wasn't going to play. The Cowboys would have to 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.159 make a move because they only have four safeties that 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.960 they have on the active roster right now. And I 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.480 know we talk about Cheetah Bay being able to possibly 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.039 swap back over there, but there's a chance that Orlando 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.360 doesn't play this week, which means you're one down on 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.160 cornerbacks as well. Do you think they would need an 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.760 extra body to go into that game? You think they're 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.720 cool with three safeties and then the BeVier corners that 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:14.800 they have. Yeah, I think they'd be fine. Cheeto can 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.080 play some safety in a pinch. I know he hasn't 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.320 done it, but he can do that, and you've got 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.760 you've got been Wickery as an extra corner. I think 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.960 they could probably make it through this game. Okay, all right, 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.920 let's let's talk about the inactives. I'll start first with 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:28.839 a couple of guys that I think we feel pretty 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.680 comfortable we'll be on the on the inactives list, mainly 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.320 because either they were on it last week and nothing 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.040 has changed at their position, or because of injury. So 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:43.400 let's Anthony Hitchens, Orlando Scandrick, Jonathan Cooper, Cooper, Rush, Darren McFadden. 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:49.040 We all agree on those five Yes, Nick, I mean 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.279 that's his radio you got. That's probably the way it's 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.160 gonna be. I'm not gonna sit here and say I 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.160 agree with it, but yeah, I didn't ask if you 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.080 agree with I said, do we expect it? That's gonna 0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:00.640 be the way it is. I guess. So yeah, all right, Amber, Yeah, okay, good. 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.760 So the last two spots one yard this week? I'm 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:08.160 sorry he could he might average one yard? Morris Nick? Yeah, Nick, 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.360 Nick doesn't like their Well why don't we just detour's? 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.760 Nick is working so hard to detour this thing, and 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.000 let's just say, okay, speak your piece on the whole. 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.800 On the backup running back spots, they like Alfred Morris 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:21.400 because he's a good guy and he works hard and 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.760 he doesn't get hurt. So they go for him and 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.440 his one yard average, and they're going with a clearly 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.960 better football player that they're putting on the bench, probably 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.160 because they're mad at him because he missed a few 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.560 blocks and mad at him because of what happened last year. 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:38.960 What happened last year? Well then he got some kind 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.920 of injury. Oh okay, yeah, do you really think he's 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.160 a clearly better because I don't think I mean, you 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.800 can't think you can split hair. You can split hairs 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.240 and say and say, yeah, he does some things better 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.640 than Alfred Morris, but when you look at him holistically 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.200 as running backs and look at their careers, I don't know, 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:58.080 it's a that's a clear difference, the epitome of splitting hairs. Yeah, 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.120 all right, I don't think your argument. No. I just 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.400 think that if you had to start, if you're I'm 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.800 on the starting running back, then you've got a really 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.360 good argument there, because then you got a guy that's 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.720 that's done it for He's he's a little bit younger, 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:15.520 he's a little bit more productive, but he's not as explosive. 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.320 But if you got a guy that's a backup number 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.320 two role that could come into the situation, and he's 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.080 been proven that he is a good player to come 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.440 in and work, you know, he could split carries and 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.040 he's done it his whole career. I think that he's 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.439 a much He's a more explosive player too. He is 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.280 a better guy for what you need to come into 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.000 the third the third series and just make a difference. 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.520 When's the last time we've seen that level of explosion though, 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.760 because he didn't play all last year, I don't know 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:43.560 that he was better in the preseason this year than 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.760 Alfred Morris. I didn't see that kind of explosion that 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.640 that that you say, So, how do we know that's 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.480 still the same guy that he was at one point 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.120 his career, Because you're right, at one point his career 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.560 he was he was a very explosive back. I don't know. 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:56.120 I don't know if he's still that guy. I think 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.440 he in the preseason I thought he was better, but 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:02.160 I'll seems to think so. I didn't think so well. 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:05.800 I never forget Nick's college team of choice. I don't 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.439 want to. I don't want to pay a lot of 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.160 those guys. I'm kidding. I know I'm not trying to 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:15.000 bring Felix back, So I mean I don't Maybe you are. No, No, 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.720 I'm not trying to fat and Hill listen to the situation. 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:22.120 I don't think that's the case. I don't know. And 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.160 then that went downhill. Yeah, I just think for this role, 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.680 it's it's it doesn't make any sense. He comes in 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.200 you want, you got the best running back in the NFL. 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.640 He comes off the field. You want some kind of 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:36.320 like somebody to come in here and like help the situation, 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:39.160 and then it's just like night and day. Difference between 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.040 Alfred Morris and Zeke and I don't think it would 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.079 be as much of a drop off if you come 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.959 in and you bring in a guy that can that. 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.679 I mean, he can at least hit the whole. And 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.440 if you're gonna play Morris play, don't want to run 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:56.280 these like off tackle plays that take four days to 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.360 get there. That's not to me. That's not his thing. 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.360 He needs to get hit the whole and then do 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.480 some things, you know, jitterbug time. And maybe that's it. 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:07.320 Maybe maybe what they're doing with him, I don't feel 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.960 like he's that guy that can like way for way 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:12.280 for way for it, hit it. I think he's more 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:15.440 just get it. I don't disagree, but I just think 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.800 it's negligible when you consider the number of touches involved. 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.760 I mean, but we're talking about the seven, we're talking 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.280 about the bottom of them of the roster, because that's 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.079 how I don't know what we were talking about. Yeah, 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.280 just said, yeah, I agree, that's what we're gonna do. Well, 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.679 thanks for the last five. That's what we're gonna do though. 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:35.640 That was good, all right? So so the next one 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:37.480 I would talk about would be one of these two, 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.440 either Noah Brown of Terence Williams. You guys agree there, yes? 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.520 And who you think right now? If you had to guess, 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.360 I know we said there's a possibility. If you had 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.600 to guess your best estimation, what would you say is 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:49.800 who's going to be an active there on Friday morning? 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.840 I think it'll be Noah Brown, But talk to me 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.440 on Sunday inactive? Yes, yeah, inactive? Yeah? So do you 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.480 think Terence is will play right now? Yes? Okay? All right? 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:03.000 And then for the final spot, um, you kind of 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:04.679 I think you kind of are between two people, but 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:08.480 they've been Wickery and Jay Elliott. Is there somebody else 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:10.800 you guys think falls into that category of someone that 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.319 you would make inactive or one of those two? Not 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.280 after the night Charles Tapper had Yeah, I don't think 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:21.040 it's gonna be Tapper. I don't think it would be Elliott. Okay, 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:23.280 I mean I know he didn't play, but I still 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:26.920 think that you need I think that you need that 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:30.640 many linebackers to be at uniform. SOB, I've been Wickery, 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.040 Do you really though. I mean, let's think about that 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:36.760 first five linebackers. Is that what they had? Yes, there's 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.199 no six, Yeah, but wouldn't Elliott one of them? Yes? Yes, yeah, 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.320 but he didn't. So could you go with five on 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:46.480 a team where you go Nickel a lot? Now? I 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.520 don't think he can go five. I really don't, not 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.160 when you when you weigh in all the situations. I 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:55.760 love Sean Lee, but he's still he's still injury prone. Wait, 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.680 hold on, hold on, They've got seven linebackers on the roster, 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.360 including Hitchens, right, Okay, I just want to make sure 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:07.040 you got Durant, Jalen Smith. I just I don't I 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:10.320 mean Wilbur. They don't even like to play Wilbur that 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:14.960 much other than just outside linebacker or be just sam. 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.680 I would go with six. I don't. I don't like 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.120 that just having five. I'm surprised he didn't play. He 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:20.640 might not have been as ready as they thought he 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.040 would be, but I would think they'd get him up 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.400 to speed. So you think Ben Wickery is the guy? Well, 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.760 or is there another person that maybe I already got 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.680 Jordan Lewis. No, I did not. I assume Jordan Lewis 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.240 would play this week. I think Jordan Lewis will be inactive. 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:41.040 I think he'll play I so, so he plays for Scandrey, right, yeah, right, Okay, 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.760 we still need one more. Yea, they did have two 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:48.920 corners last week and Lewis and been Wickery. You said Cooper, 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:53.480 I did say Cooper? Then yeah, I think Amber again. 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:55.880 All right, So what we have so far as Hitchen, Scandrick, 0:12:56.000 --> 0:13:01.520 Cooper and Cooper, Um, Darren mc aden and Noah Brown. 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:06.000 So we need one more between presumably Ben Wickery or 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.920 Elliott or some other guy that that again I'm not 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:13.679 thinking about. I'm outthrow Ben Wickery, I say him. I mean, 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:15.080 like I said, you only have to give up your 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.040 pick if you don't play him. And you've got Cheeto 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:20.480 and Lewis both practicing full this week, so I would 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:23.960 probably say him. Okay, I would go with that one 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:27.600 as well. I mean, I think they did just find 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:31.360 last week, you know, with the way they kind of 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:35.599 had it there. And you know, I talked to Scandrick yesterday, 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:39.079 and you know how we've discussed how sometimes her and 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:42.320 players can go ahead and play with some kind of 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:44.960 protection in their hand. He told me that he didn't 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:48.280 feel any pain at all. Now. I don't know if 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.559 he's under some kind of medication or any of that, 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:54.720 but according to him, the only time he felt really 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.079 a lot of pain was right after the game when 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.439 he got home. But since then he's like, no, I 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.640 don't feel any pain. But he said he still had 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.640 to get his stitches out right, So sometimes then he 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:08.400 gets to that point like it doesn't matter if it 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.199 hurts or not. You know, it doesn't mean you can 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.800 still play, right, Yeah, that's you risk. I mean when 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.400 you have stitches, there's a chance you risk that those 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.520 stitches reopen, right. I mean he showed me his hand. 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.440 He's like, look, no, I don't feel pain. But has 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:24.000 he tackled anyone? I mean, like that seems weird? Does 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.200 this say I don't feel or bang it against the helmet, 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.280 bang it against shoulder pads, bang it against the ball. 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.200 I mean, this way of the game, you're gonna have 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.400 a lot more. I mean it's interesting that you don't 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:34.880 feel pain, But but I would you feel pain if 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:36.720 you're gonna get if you're gonna try to tackle someone. 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:38.840 But then if you don't feel pain, you can still 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:43.120 open up that wound and you know, hurt yourself. I 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:46.360 don't know, Like I I just don't see him him 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.920 playing this week, but they're not ruling him out. And 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:53.080 he has a face you just never know what he's 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:56.480 really thinking. He couldn't you couldn't read his face, not 0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:00.240 one that's a poker face. Yeah all right, So so so 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.040 I guess are we are we concluding that Ben Wickery 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:07.400 is probably the guy I would go with him? Yeah? Yeah, 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.200 all right? All right, So that's your seven that we 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:14.720 think will be an active Hitchen Skeandrick, Jonathan Cooper, Cooper Rush, 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.120 Darren McFadden, Noah Brown, and ben A Ben Wickery. Make 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.760 sure you check out the pregame show because I'm sure 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:22.760 from the sideline we will have more information on that 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.760 before the game. So, I honestly, I think I would 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.520 go with with Ben Wickery to play. And I think 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:34.360 I would sit Xavier Woods last week, even knowing that, 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.280 even knowing that your starter has a growing even if 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.120 he can play, I think he's fine. I mean, I 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.800 really do not concerns about about the Byron Jones situation. 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.800 I just think that I would be more concerned about 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.840 Cheeto playing corner, Jordan Lewis playing corner, and maybe I 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.360 would I'd rather see a guy that's that's a little 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.800 bit more veteran experience. And so then if you need 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.760 to get into a situation to play safeties, and then 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.440 maybe Cheeto could play that. You know, he could play 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:04.080 in there. I just and we're talking about some rookies 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:06.520 that have never played in the NFL and then they're 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.480 gonna play up there in the altitude. I mean, I 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.920 just although one of them is played well, I'm not 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:12.640 talking about Cheetah, I'm not talking I'm talking about like 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.240 Xavier Woods and like Geordan Lewis and that kind of stuff. 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:18.400 So I would rather see Ben Wickery in this game. 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.280 And then if you get into us a pinch, I mean, 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:22.720 I don't know why you got to play the fourth 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.920 fourth safety there. I think if Cheetah can do some 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:27.840 things like that, then he could be your fourth safety. 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:30.320 It rarely comes down to needing him to play safety. 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:32.440 How much did he play last week? How much he 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.360 play safety last week? Xavier Woods, I don't think, donnut. 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:37.960 I think he didn't play safety. He played special special 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.560 teams right, and he's a good special teams player, so 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:46.400 we'll see. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if they 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.600 did that. But I think Dave said it last week 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:51.640 about ben Wickery. If you don't play him, you don't 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:53.560 give up a draft pick. So you're only playing him 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.400 if you if you really need him, right, so you 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:56.920 just kind of hold him and see what happens, and 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:58.640 if you need him a work certain week, you got him. 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:01.680 If not, then take your chances. Right, they'll hold veterans, 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.800 They'll they'll sit some. I mean they don't care about 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.600 that part. You know, they sat Morris last year, and 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:09.960 they sat McFadden and been with great. I mean they don't. 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:11.800 I don't really care about that stuff, which is good. 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:15.320 You really shouldn't care about feelings about that. All right, 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:17.480 let's take our first break. When we come back, I 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.240 want to jump into some of these questions I have 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:21.920 for these guys that will help us give a good 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:23.840 opinion on what we think is going to happen this Sunday. 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:25.159 Will do that when we come right back.
