You know 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.720 what I mean, Robert and Robert England has his hand 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:14.560 in helping orchestrate that storyline. 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:16.280 I didn't know that that's cool? Did you? 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.040 Did you watch the most recent sy Okay, I'm cap. 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.200 You know he's the one that's in that that dark 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.840 jail cell. You could kind of halfway see his face 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.320 halfway not and he's tapping his hand like this, which 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:30.160 is a reference to Freddy's clothe and you it gives 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.880 there's a reason it gives nightmare on Elm Street vibes. 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.519 It's because Freddy Krueger is involved the goat, so I 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.160 love that. But I wore this today because I mean, 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.400 we're talking about the Cowboys obviously, and more and more. 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:44.840 I'm just starting to feel like we're trapped in the 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:50.920 upside down. So that's fair, you know. There you go, Yeah, 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:56.480 we are third place in the division. You kind of 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.520 hit that. I have told you. 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.639 Guys on occasions, I'm an excellent singer. Don't give me 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:03.680 any credit at all. 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:07.760 Because I'll give you the credit. I want to see 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:08.519 more of it. 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:12.000 Well, this is talking, not singing cowboys. That's another show 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:12.840 I'll start with. 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:15.720 It is talking cowboys and is singing cowboys and his 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:16.720 dancing coupboys and. 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.560 Whatever we want it to be, crumping cowboys. 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.400 I want to Josh needs to come up with a 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.440 song like right as. 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.480 I don't know if you're a song writer as well. 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.079 Yeah, I need you to write a song over the 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.920 despair of the Cowboys season, like a sad cowboys song. 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.080 It's not gonna be said. It's gonna be more like 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.680 like Patrick Shirt. It's going to be like a heavy 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:42.600 metal banger. 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.160 I'm down for that, you can, you can turn those 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:47.040 into sad songs. 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.080 I should Patrick a really good Cowboys song on the 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:50.320 other day on TikTok oh. 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.400 Yeah, you remember that one I do? 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.280 Is it the guy the fan that it's a rap? 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.800 Yeah, he's like slowly but surely making an album out 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.200 of it every week that was and he's kind of 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.760 put him together some bangers just in terms of like 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:05.200 the beat. 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:06.880 So I'll leave it up. 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.240 We don't have a music license. I wonder if he 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:10.360 would let us play it. 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:10.960 On the shot. 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:15.200 Probably not, I don't think so. Even if he probably. 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.520 We'd probably get the hook from upstairs. 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.560 So you call the principal's office for that one, might 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:21.160 as well do it. 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.920 We're not getting the red absolutely get called into the 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:25.719 go for Patrick. 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.719 So first and foremost, yesterday we did speak about the 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.560 breaking news. Dak Prescott said to get his surgery this 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.360 morning or at some point today in New York. That'll 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:38.680 end his season and to help as much as he 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:43.120 can with the quarterback situation. Will Greer was officially yesterday 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.920 afternoon officially signed to the Cowboys practice squad. Corresponding move 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.960 is the release of rookie defensive back of Money Johnson. 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.440 So Monny Johnson was cut loose to make space for 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.480 Will Grear. Now here's something that's key, And this is 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:59.720 why I thought the Cowboys when Dak Prescott was initially 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.160 hit to IR, I thought last week that they would 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:03.719 add a QB three, but they would do it to 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.920 the active roster. And that's because the QB three has 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:08.760 to be on the active roster in order to be 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:12.960 carried as an emergency quarterback on game days. By having 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.200 him on the practice squad, he is then treated as 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.440 an elevation and you can't elevate and have. 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:19.320 That player as an emergency quarterback. 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.920 So interesting decision for the Cowboys as far as housekeeping 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.720 is concerned, to choose to put Wilgear on the practice 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:29.960 squad as opposed to the active roster, especially considering you're 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.479 about to ir Dak Prescott, so you will have that seat. 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:34.000 But that does create the question mark. 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.240 And I was telling Tommy and Nick Eatman, I think 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.960 that is kind of dog geared for Brandon Cooks. I 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.360 think Brandon Cooks is just about ready to come back. 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.360 I don't know if that means it's twenty one day 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:48.440 practice window will be opened this week Today I'll check 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.640 with Mike McCarthy during the press conference to see if 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:52.559 that's the case. But he's not the only one who 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.640 is eligible for their window to be open. DeMarcus Lawrence 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:59.240 is also eligible, as is Marshawn Kneeling. So you have 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:04.240 three will two definite heavy hitters and a potential impact 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:08.440 rookie who qualify to have their practice windows started on today. 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:09.760 We'll see if that's the case. 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.440 Deron Bland, we don't know where he is right now 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.919 with his I just if I'm a betty Man and 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.919 I'm not Rogers, so just relax if I'm a Betty 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.440 Man Roger. Yeah, I don't see Deron Bland going this 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.960 week because the tone just doesn't sound well when you 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.560 have the conversation around the building. But we will see 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.640 what happens with Kawanya Thomas. He missed last week in 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:32.520 concussion protocol. But keep an eye on these potential IR activations. 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.400 Marshaw Kneeling, the Marcus Lawrence, Brandon Cooks. Of those three 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:39.520 sounds like kneeling and Cooks are I hesitate to say 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.960 far but always ahead of DeMarcus Lawrence. 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:47.040 I saw Marshawn yesterday in the training table just walking past, 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:47.360 and I. 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:48.880 Was like, Hey, what's up going, what's going on? I 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:50.400 haven't seen you in a while. Like, we're definitely going 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.440 to say what's check? Yeah, what's up? Coat? Uh not 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.680 yet hopefully that would be awesome. It would be but 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:57.560 I was. 0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.200 Like, hey, what's up, haven't seen you in a little bit. 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.039 And we kind of talked for a minute. I was like, 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.480 so you're feeling You're feeling good. He's like, bro, I'm close. 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:04.920 I'm there. I'm right there. 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.799 So we're getting there with Marshawn Neil and he didn't 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:11.160 give me anything breaking news wise, but he feels like 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:12.920 is moving in the right direction and. 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:16.200 Absolutely in good spirits. So good news there. 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.600 I think Brandon Cook's getting back helps this offense significantly. 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.600 Then it forces kind of the trade that you made 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.440 with Jonathan Mingo. It forces him to be a wide 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.520 receiver three as opposed to an automatic wide receiver two 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.080 and need him to get into that role. Whether he's 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:33.760 ready for that or not, we haven't seen it yet 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.880 in a Cowboys offense. Cowboys offense had forty six yards 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.720 passing this past week, so it's not like I'm expecting 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:41.520 Mingo to come in and light it up. 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.240 Yeah, just really quickly shouts to Patrick for figuring out 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.360 the Willgreer emergency QB situations. I think, like a lot 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.560 of people, I just assumed that, Okay, he'll be the 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:50.600 emergency well in. 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:53.520 This that's something I had tracked, so initially I thought 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.160 it might be like a Max Dugan situation as far 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.000 as because they worked him out, so I was thinking 0:07:58.000 --> 0:07:59.760 maybe that was going to be the QB three. So 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.440 that that article I wrote that week, as far as 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.480 the impact of that going down, I said, my expectation 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:07.600 was that they will add him to the active roster, 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:10.120 whomever that quarterback might be. So when it turns out 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.200 that they're adding will Grid to the practice squad, I 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:15.120 was like kind of a raised eyebrow there, because now 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:18.080 you cannot treat him as an emergency quarterback, right right, 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.040 So if you and to be clear, if you elevate him, 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.200 then you know you have to then make the decision 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:25.720 because there's no one in elevating than making inactive. Not 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.440 that that's impossible, isn't that right to chorus McKinley. 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:30.080 But if you. 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.640 Elevate him and put him on the active game day roster, 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.160 then you more or less have to figure out how 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:37.960 to play him. Otherwise you just wasted the game day 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.240 roster spot because there's not that emergency exemption. 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:43.160 Well, you could put him on the active roster and 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:44.640 just make him inactive on game day. 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:45.800 No, he doesn't. 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.240 Part you can if you elevate him and make him 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.520 active for the game day roster and you don't play him, 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:54.920 then wasted the game days. Absolutely, that's what I mean, 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:58.520 because you can because you don't get the emergency QB. 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:03.760 She exactly, because keep in mind, Trey Lance was consistently inactive, 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.160 but he was available to play in the event of 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.400 an emergency injury today. 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.720 Because he's inactive. But now it will if you act. 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:13.960 If you elevate him and then put him on the 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:17.080 game day roster, he's taking up a spot. 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.840 Yeah, and you can't elevate him and keep him an 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:21.319 act correct, That. 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.520 Is correct, that's the distinction. So interesting that they chose 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.600 this route. But you know, I wonder if stranger things 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:28.480 have happened. 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:34.319 A banger the I wonder if there's more moving. 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.080 And shaking that's going to happen that allows him to 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.000 be on that fifty three man roster with him now 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:43.640 and Sunday or Monday. But because I mean you talked 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.160 about dak in that move. If Brandon Cooks isn't ready 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:47.720 and they aren't going to move him in the active roster, 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.760 it might be dog eared for Brandon Cooks, but they 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:51.800 could move Will Greed. 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:55.000 Yeah, that's that's true if he's not ready. I mean, 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:56.760 do you expect Brandon cook. 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.880 Brandon Cooks sounded like he was ready to play last week. Now, 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.360 of course this is the player talking, and he hasn't 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:04.120 started a prize. 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.200 This isn't the medical team talking. This is the player talking. 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.480 But as far as the player goes and speaking with 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.400 the Brandon Cooks, he was of the belief and was 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.560 operating of the belief that he was on the right 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:19.320 track for Monday night football. He quite literally said or 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.079 intimated that when we were talking to him at the 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.280 locker at his locker last week and the week prior, 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:25.719 and he was like, yeah, man, I'm trying to see 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:29.000 all on Monday Night football. So but then you have 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.680 the conversations around the building and it's kind of tempered 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:33.360 a bit. So all I can say is, we'll see 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.880 if they activate his practice window today on Wednesday. But 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.680 as far as player goes, he sounds like he's ready 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:39.640 to unleash. 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.040 And I assume you'd want to not rush him back. 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:45.480 But it's like, if he's ready, use him, of course. 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:52.360 And if there's any player that you would be comfortable 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:56.600 with saying, you know what, this get him practicing on Wednesday, 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.319 playing him him on Sunday or Monday, it would be 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.040 a Brandon Cook who's been in this league, who is 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.400 one of the best players around as far as taking 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.520 care of his body, knowing his body, being in tune 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.240 with his body. So if there was anyone you'd be 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:11.200 comfortable with that, I said. 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:14.280 People also not to mention what he suffered wasn't an 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:18.559 actual injury, correct with an infection that has healed on 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:22.080 long Yeah, And I guess a lot of it has 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.040 to do with maybe the infection around the rehab that 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.160 he needed from the knee and from the scope that 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:28.120 he he had. 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.880 But usually there's not a ton of rehab there period, right, 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.800 And that's a point. It's not like it's a lingering insurance. 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.400 Once an infection is gone, it's you should be good. 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.840 So we'll see, Yeah, we will, Uh Tommy out of 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:44.559 those guys. DeMarcus Lawrence, Dron Bland, Brandon Cooks, Marshawn. 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.600 Neel and who do the Cowboys need back the most, 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.480 specifically for Monday or ye for Monday. 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:49.920 For Monday. 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:55.840 I mean, you look at last week and how even 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:57.760 in the week's past two at how teams just kind 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:02.959 of have picked on Kaln Carson and it's just march 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:05.840 downfield for offense. Like we were talking about AJ Brown yesterday, 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:08.840 he had three out of his receptions were on Carson 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.400 for seventy four yards, and it could have been worse. 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:14.080 I mean, I still think back to that wheel route 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.920 to DeVante Smith where if Jalen Hurts puts it a 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.000 little bit better, that's a touchdown. 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:21.880 And you know it is. 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.720 Rough for a rookie like that, who has his confidence 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:26.760 kind of taken away, I think. 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.480 But Keitlin Carson is still a really good player. But 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:30.920 Deron Bland is a really good player. 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.760 Oh yeah, and he's your exactly and you need that back, 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:36.800 especially when you look at this Texans offense. I know 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:38.839 we'll talk about them a little bit more in a bit, 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.640 but they've got speed at their skill positions. They've got 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:45.080 a great trio of wide receivers, even With Stefan Diggs out, 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:47.040 it looks like Nico Collins is on track to be 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.400 back for Monday Night football. So all the help that 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.560 you can get in the secondary, I think is going 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:52.800 to be what you want in this game. 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:54.959 Oh man, he just may. 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:56.880 I was just about to talk about Diggs is not 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:58.240 going to be in the fold and that makes me 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.160 one sad that we don't get traymar versus Stephan. 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.880 I was kind of hoping for, ye finally Digs Bowl football. 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:08.320 God, you're playing nice with them now, not that one specifically, 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.360 but then you turn around and you've got You've got 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:13.520 Nico Collins you had to deal with as well. 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.400 Everyone's gotta be tough. Any other news and notes before 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.080 we take our first break, No, we're good on that. 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.800 Yesterday was a nonpractice day, so yeah, we're we should 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.280 have a lot more information and will tomorrow morning news 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:24.600 and notes. 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:28.720 Demo feel pretty good about it. He said he was good. 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:33.080 He's good, and there's no concern as far as any 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:36.280 major injury. What I'm tellingday, what I'm told is it's 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.680 Breseidas that he's dealing with, So it could just be 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.720 a rest and rehab situation this week. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:41.679 Maybe he's d and P. 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.680 Did not participate on Wednesday, Maybe Thursday, kind of work 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:47.040 him back in to walk throughs on Friday and Saturday. 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.840 Maybe that's the plan. I wouldn't be too concerned by 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.880 seeing him d and P. But as we'll talk about 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:56.440 it tomorrow today with the Cowboys defense and the Houston 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:59.120 Texans offense, that's a concern for me simply because he's 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.520 not one hundred percent. Yeah so, but we'll get to that. 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:03.040 But as it stands, as far as news and Notes 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:07.520 are concerned, he's seventy percent chance. 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.160 He should go gone against Houston Texas. 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:13.000 Pretty strong chance. There's a good, good spot, good percentage. 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:14.839 All right, when we come back, we're going to take 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.200 our attention and look at some of the matchups for 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.240 this Houston Texas team. Tommy alluded to it speed on 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.880 the outside. Which level of the Cowboys defense is going 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.760 to be challenged the most when we come back.

Back here on Talking Cowboys 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.760 Presented by Quaker Oats, the official. 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:45.440 Oatmeal sponsor of the Dallas Cowboys Quaker Oats trusted since 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:46.640 eighteen seventy seven. 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:48.720 I three you guys for a lot. Yeah, you thought 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:48.920 I was. 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:55.200 Gonna say through you a nice little curve ball here. 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.080 We've got a lab coat coming up in the next segment, 0:16:58.160 --> 0:16:59.280 so we don't go anywhere. 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.280 Patrick's gonna let the Cowboys have it. I don't know 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:03.480 exactly what you're going to talk about. 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.399 We'll tease it at the end of this segment, but 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:07.760 I figure you're probably gonna. 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:10.520 Let the Cowboys have it, probably, so yeah, that's probably 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:11.320 about right, all right. 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:15.919 It is the seventh all time meeting between the Cowboys 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:18.720 and the Texans. The Cowboys have won four, the Texans 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:20.639 have won two, and the Cowboys have won four of 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.600 the last five, including back in twenty twenty two. That 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.600 was a weird game, and a Texans team that was 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.639 just kind of starting to turn things around had some 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:33.000 guys on defense that they were confident in, Jalen Peatree 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.720 being one of them, the former Baywood prospect playing safety, 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.760 still playing at a high level as well. You don't 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:42.280 really have the same offensive output in those. 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.640 Games as you do now. 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:49.000 They've got weapons on offense, and it starts with CJ. 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:50.119 Stroud as well. 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:53.640 Josh, when you look at the three levels. 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:58.200 Of this Texans team, the pass catchers, the running game, 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:01.520 and the offensive line in the trenches. So passing game, 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.120 running game, trenches, which one do you feel like they're 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:04.879 at their highest with? 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:10.359 Ooh, I think they're highest with the passing. I think CJ. Stroud, 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:13.840 once he is able, once he's afforded time, is going 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.520 to be able to pick you apart. I think, well, 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.199 we've talked about it before. Anytime the Cowboys are going 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:22.159 up against a team and their weaknesses, they find a 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:25.000 way to strengthen those weaknesses against the Dallas Cowboys and 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.879 the dast Cowboys defense. So I'm a little worried about that. 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:32.560 I'm worried about their receiving corps. Granted, you have Nico 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:35.800 Collins coming back, who is currently still ranked the number 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:39.679
