I'm so excited. 29 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm so excited about this game. I cannot wait. 30 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: I hate I hate the cold, but this will be 31 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: the only game that I'm actually excited for where it's 32 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: a cold environment. You're not looking forward to Chicago no ways. 33 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: Talking about going to Belichick's press conference after the games. 34 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: To go do that and work their locker room, because 35 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: she's like, I just want to see what that much 36 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: success like, what it's like in their locker room, what 37 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: it's like in their press conference. Just spy them a 38 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: little bit, just sneaking there, see what's up, and you know, 39 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: you never know what kind of AIMFO you can get from. 40 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: I'm not like I'm I you know, I like going 41 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: to Lambeau in the cold and soldier field, but it's 42 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: supposed to rain all day Sunday. I'm not really looking 43 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: forward to like forty and rainy. That's like the worst combination. Yeah, 44 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: I guess it's not cold enough to snow, but still 45 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: cold and wet. And Yeah, because being the press spot, 46 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: you're I'm definitely looking forward to the game because sure 47 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: we will learn so much about the Cowboys, I think 48 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: in this game, about both their offense and their defense 49 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: in my opinion, So I think would be a fun game. First. Less, though, 50 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: we we got to talk about some injuries. Layton vander 51 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: esh news comes down Garrett talks about in his press 52 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: conference he's got a neck injury, and it sounds like 53 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: it's relatively serious in my opinion talking about what you've heard, 54 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like he's gonna play in this game. 55 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: Unlikely to play. Um, they're not as worried about it 56 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: being a season ending injury, but just the fact that 57 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: that's being mentioned is to the point where you know 58 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: this there's a game in like four or four days 59 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: after this, so missing one game probably means missing too. 60 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: That's what. Yeah, Garrett kind of freaked me out today 61 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: because he's like we don't think it's career threatening, right that. 62 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 1: I was like, freak me up. I was like, well, 63 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: that's good, But the fact that you even had to 64 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: bring it up, it's kind of scary. It was at 65 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: some point a part of the conversation. I would have 66 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: said for you to bring it up if you think back, 67 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: like stingers and neck problems was part of his flip 68 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: card coming out of college. It was definitely, you know, 69 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: on the list of concerns, wasn't because the whole thing 70 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: with the next thing that he wears, that's why he 71 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: wears that neck role. Yeah, so yeah, I mean, it's 72 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: encouraging news. It's not career threatening. It's not season ending, 73 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: they don't think. But the fact that that even comes 74 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: up in conversation is is pretty scary. And it stems 75 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: back to the stinger he suffered against the Eagles, which 76 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: was obviously it was severe enough to keep him out 77 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: after the bye weeks. So two whole weeks to rest 78 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: and recuperate and you're still not ready says a lot 79 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: about how severe it probably was. And the fact that 80 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: they qualify it with they don't think it's season ending. 81 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: System sure that there's a chance, absolutely season ending. And 82 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: I'll go a step further than Nick. You go bills 83 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: four days after this game and then a week and 84 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: so they're gonna play three games obviously in the next 85 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: twelve or whatever days it is, and it could be 86 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: a tall order for him to get back for any 87 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: of those. How does this affect the Cowboys. I know 88 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: they've got some depth there. Obviously, Sean Lee steps right 89 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: in when they're a nickel that he can be one 90 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: of those two linebackers. Joe Thomas is a guy like 91 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: a lot and I think he's a really good linebacker 92 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: for them. But how does this affect them overall from 93 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 1: the standpoint of how they play their linebackers. Well, they 94 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: don't have a big, young, athletic linebacker that can fly 95 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: around to the ball. I mean, that's he's an All 96 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: Pro as a rookie. There's only a handful of players 97 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: in Cowboys history that have done that. So, yeah, you're 98 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: missing that type of player. Sean Lee comes in, but 99 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: he's just not the same. I mean, it's just like 100 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: any of those positions we've seen when Lyle goes down 101 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: Tyr and goes down the guy's not the same. It's 102 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: it's not as big a drop off maybe with with 103 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: Joe Thomas there, but I think when you're talking about 104 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: overall all the linebackers, Joe Thomas is still not practicing today. 105 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: It must be a heck of an illness, which again, 106 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you know for us that's normal, Like you know, 107 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: flew will knock you out or a cold will knock 108 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: you out for two or three days. But what you're 109 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: just super tough guy. I don't get sick, first of all, 110 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: but yeah, illnesses don't happen. Why do you throw it 111 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: off track all the time? Really, just give the guys zack. 112 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: I was gonna like NFL players have access to you know, 113 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: ivs and Z packs and you know trainers and doctors 114 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: whose job it is to get them back quickly as possible. 115 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: So the fact that he's been out for three days 116 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: is telling. Having said that, the fact that we basically 117 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: know Layton's not gonna play means I bet he's gonna 118 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: be I veed up and they're gonna do everything they 119 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: can to get him out there or by Sunday afternoon, 120 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: if I had to guess. And he's the type of 121 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: guy though, when you're talking about what the Patriots do 122 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: with all the screens, and you know that they do 123 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: like to run the ball, even though they may not 124 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,559 Speaker 1: have a runner that's a dynamic player. You know, James 125 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: White's pretty good and Sonny Michelle's the first round pick, 126 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: so he's pretty dynamic. But I just think that, you know, 127 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: this was a game where you would you really want 128 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: your big, fast, strong linebacker to run around there. I'm 129 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: super super worried because and I'm trying not to be, 130 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: but I just look at all scenarios and like, let's 131 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: say he's out for two games and then you having 132 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: to use shan Lee Moore and Shanlee we know he's 133 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: kind of fragile in a way. We all know that, 134 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: and I'm just I'm just I'm really worried of what 135 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: could happen. And I love Shanley, He's my favorite player 136 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: and all that, But imagine not having shan Lee or 137 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: late and then what happens now, especially with the linebacker. Well, 138 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: I mean that's what would have to say. Yeah, but 139 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: it's like, what are you getting from that? I mean, 140 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: when you talk about a group that has already been 141 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 1: struggling this year, I mean the drop off is pretty 142 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: big there. Maybe we haven't seen enough of Joe to 143 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: know what he's gonna do in a situation where he 144 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: has a ton of snaps. From what I've seen in 145 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: the snaps that he's had, I think they're fine. I 146 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: don't think there's a big drop off there at all. Personally. 147 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: Now what happens is I'd know that Cowboys a lot 148 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: this year. They like to stick with their four three 149 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: defense even when teams will throw three wide receivers at them. 150 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: That's where you run into a bit of a challenge. 151 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: There is now you start thinking about and by the way, 152 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: you got a cornerback that's now out on ir right. 153 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: So now as you mix between good nickel and going 154 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: your base defense, you'd have that extra defensive back, or 155 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: you'd have that extra that extra linebacker, and now both 156 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: of them are getting really slim. If you get in 157 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: a situation where, let's say, for example, you didn't have 158 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: Sean on top of not having Layton. So that's where 159 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: I start to worry. It's more about the depth. I 160 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: think as long as Joe Thomas is out there, I 161 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: feel pretty good about what he can do a linebacker. 162 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna used to see this as a positive because again, 163 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: I mean Layton has been banged up at least since Philly, 164 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: if not before that, to the point where we asked 165 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: him about it last week. It was like, hey, you're 166 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: kind of playing through a little more than you're letting 167 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: on and he laughed. He was like, yeah, you could 168 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: say that idea, I mean, which I get it. Everybody is. 169 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: And he also said nobody cares, which is also true. 170 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:25,239 Speaker 1: But I guarantee you it's limited his effectiveness. So I'd 171 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: rather play healthy linebackers who are not as good than 172 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: him at whatever percentage he's been at because linebackers struggled, 173 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: and I think him trying to gut through injuries has 174 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: probably been part of that. And a guy like Luke Gifford, 175 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they got other guys that they 176 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: can justin, justin warsh that they can kind of throw 177 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: in there. I don't know if they'll be as good, 178 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: but I feel like they are in the times that 179 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: we've seen them on the field, they've given you reason 180 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: to be optimistic at least that maybe they can do 181 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: due something. So I don't know. Again, I think I 182 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: still have in my memory that time of what was 183 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: it was it two years ago? When how and then 184 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: Anthony and then all of a sudden, you couldn't figure 185 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: out what to do with the defense when you take 186 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: out one of those guys, all this sudden, and oh 187 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: the whole group is screwed up. So I just I 188 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: think I just keep remembering those scenarios, and that's what worries. 189 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: Let's run through a couple of these other guys that 190 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: are not excuse me, that did not practice yesterday. Lyle 191 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: Collins files back, he is back today. Joe Thomas, he 192 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: did not practice a day. Donovan Wilson was out yesterday, 193 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: also with an illness. Same thing. I don't know if 194 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: it's the same thing, but he was out with an illness. 195 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: He back today or it's a great question. I don't remember. 196 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: He's been active, right, yeah, that with Jeff Heath, Yeah 197 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: he's been active. Yeah. I don't think he hasn't been 198 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: inactive in a month or so. I don't I wasn't 199 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: looking for him at practice. I'm sorry, I don't remember 200 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: if he's there or not. Well, all the guys that 201 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: were limited, you got Zack Martin, Connor, Williams, Antoine Woods, 202 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 1: I presume all still at least limited today, maybe a 203 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: little bit more, but sounds like most of those guys 204 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: are going to be ready to play this weekend. Right, 205 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: It was really looking like it was gonna be all 206 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: hands on deck until this Layton News kind of dropped 207 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: on us, so, but overall still fairly healthy home. So 208 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: let's jump to inactives, and pretty much you got your 209 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: list that they've been running out most weeks. You got 210 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: Joe Jackson, you got Tristan Hill, you would have Leyton 211 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: vander esh in the instance you wanted to make Luke 212 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: Gifford active. You got Um Brandon Knight, Devin Smith, Cedric Wilson, 213 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: and then I assume I don't know if you want 214 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson in that spot. You got the two young 215 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: the other two cornerbacks, Josh Jones, Deontay Burton. Yeah, who 216 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: would you want to put in that final spot that 217 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: you need for inactives or was there one of those 218 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: guys it's been an active that you think maybe needs 219 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: to be active, Jones or Wilson probably there, Yeah, I 220 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: would agree one of those will be inactive, and then 221 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 1: I think they would prefer to have Deontay Burton inactive, 222 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: just you know, bringing a guy in for the first 223 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 1: time on Wednesday and asking him to play against Tom 224 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: Brady on Sunday. Maybe not in Anthony Brown's spot from 225 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: last week, somebody Anthony Brown was active, he was He's 226 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: off the roster now, right, but Burton is on the roster. Yeah, 227 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: and so he's if he's an active that buddy will 228 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: throw Josh Jones. Throw Josh Jones in there. Yeah, and 229 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: then he was active last week when he was Yeah, no, 230 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: I'm yeah, I'm trying to figure out, like, where who's 231 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: the extra spot? Who are you playing? Donovan Wilson was 232 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: on this list that I threw out there, but he's 233 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 1: Connor Williams. Connor Williams was not active. Yeah, Connor Williams 234 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: would be the guy that would be active now that 235 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: wasn't last week. I would like to I would like 236 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: to have Brandon Knight. Brandon Knight available because of Lyles 237 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: and he. I know you have Cam Fleming, but I 238 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: mean all all those guys are dinged up, so it 239 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 1: sounds true scary to me. And so if you wanted 240 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: to do that, you could sit you know, you could 241 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: sit two dbs instead of one or whatever. What does 242 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 1: that leave you in the CJ. Goodwin's gonna need to 243 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: be your your emergency guy, just like um Vontell Tell 244 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: Bryan Bryant said, perfect, Vontell Bran. It has to play 245 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: receiver sometimes. I mean we've seen him out there running around, 246 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: you know, and just because you don't have Cedric Wilson 247 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: or but I also, you know, just because I want 248 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: him to play or have Brandon Knight available, doesn't mean 249 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 1: they will. I won't be surprised if he's an active Yeah. 250 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: I mean, those tactical tackles have been banged up here 251 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: for a few weeks and they all of them. Yeah, 252 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: I don't think Dalton Schultz really should be active. I 253 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: really don't. I've been saying, well, they go jumbo. They 254 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: put Cam Fleming in the other day as as a 255 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: third tackle, and you know, I agree, I'd rather have 256 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: Brandon Knight in there. I think Brandon Knight would actually 257 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: be a pretty good third tackle. Um Schultz doesn't play 258 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: a whole lot for years. It did have a catch 259 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: taken off the board last week, but you know that's 260 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: the only time I've heard he's saying, yeah, he doesn't 261 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: do well. I mean not to be funny, but it's true. 262 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: But it's like you don't really see him doing anything 263 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: now and he doesn't provide what you want from three 264 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: tight ends. You don't. You don't have this mawler of 265 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: a blocker. I'd rather just have Brandon Knight going there 266 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: and check in every time with the referee saying I'm 267 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 1: or Joe Looney or Joe either one. Yeah. Do you 268 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: think they'll do that though? And he always play that game? 269 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: Do you think well that because I sit here and 270 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: say all that, like this is what I want to happen, 271 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: Like who cares? Who cares what I want? They're the 272 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: ones that make the decisions. But if we just continue 273 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: to just do that all the time, like we would 274 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: never have we just wear blue every day and every 275 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: game and just felt like this is what we do. 276 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: What's Dave wearing? You are? This is what we do. 277 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: We talk about things that we would do differently that 278 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: Garrett right.

I don't know. 333 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: Can they read in English? You say, I don't speak English? Well, 334 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: so so there you go. That's why you're okay, that's fine, okay, 335 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: all right, it stopped for a little see or no? Alright, 336 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: all right, well you mentioned well we get into the 337 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: weather later, but see or no? Does the Dallas defense 338 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: lock up the run game against the New England pat 339 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: Trips A lock up the run game? Yeah? I think. 340 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: I don't think the Patriots are going to be hurting 341 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: them with the run a whole lot. I think, yeah, 342 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: I think that they lock it up? Define lock it up? 343 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: What does that mean? Ian contain it? I mean it 344 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: and lock it down? Did they lock it up against 345 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: the Lions, Like, what does that qualify as locking it up? Drop? 346 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 1: So that's why I say, I'm gonna say, no, that 347 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: was a that was a worse run team. And I 348 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: don't want to say worst coach team, but if there's 349 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: a coach I believe knows how to how to maximize, 350 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: like again, knows how to beat your deficiencies. The Cowboys 351 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: have shown this season that there are always to beat 352 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: them in the run game, so I suspect that they're 353 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 1: going to have some success. Now it's all a matter 354 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: of how much success. No, but I think there's times 355 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: in the game where they were running the ball down 356 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: the Cowboys row, and that's my point. That's my point. 357 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: So I think that there will be moments. I would suspect, 358 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: unless the Cowboys figure some stuff out, they're gonna be 359 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: moments in this game where they're probably gonna get run on. 360 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: And that's why I brought that up. It's like, statistically, 361 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: the Lions didn't really do anything, right, but do you 362 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: think the Cowboys played a good game? No? And that's yeah, 363 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: it'll probably look something like that, so it certainly wouldn't 364 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: be better, no, right, I mean you know, yeah, I mean, 365 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: I know they're playing a better quarterback, but they're not 366 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: playing in mare athletic quarterback. True finally agreed on Shawn 367 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: Lee leads to the team in tackles this week. See 368 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: see no swiper mc swiperton is going to be making 369 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: them tackles. Mc swiperton, I like break the tide, Derek. 370 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: See see, I'm gonna go with yes, I think Shaun 371 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: Lee will lead the team in tackles. I'm gonna go 372 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: with Jaitlyn Smith eleven plus eleven plus from mister. I 373 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: saw him in the hallway yesterday. Yeah it was yesterday, 374 00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: and I liked his attitude, his po Shawn Lee. Stop 375 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: stop Sean Lee anyway. See, he gave me a good vibe. 376 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: So he's gonna have a good weekend and I'm excited 377 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: for it. All Right, Where is this other one? With 378 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: the way that Dak has been playing recently, Should the 379 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys start using the past to set up the run 380 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: moving forward? See, but with a caveat of like, maybe 381 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 1: not this weekend, Maybe not in this game because I 382 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: think the Pats are susceptible to the run and I 383 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: think the conditions are going to not benefit themselves. We 384 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: actually on cover for Today, we talked about the seventeen 385 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,959 Speaker 1: Redskins game, which is if you remember, at halftime they 386 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 1: basically told Dak like, you're not throwing it anymore. This 387 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: is a monsoon and regardless of how much push we're getting, 388 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: we're just gonna put the game in Zeke's hands. And 389 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: it was ugly, but they got the job done. Some 390 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: you know, special teams and defense helped with that. Byron 391 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: how to pick six scanderkad a block field goal. Uh So, 392 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 1: I mean not saying they won't be able to throw 393 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: the ball at all, but this, for me, is a 394 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: game where you want the run game to be clicking 395 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: or interesting. Yeah, you're right, You're right, Scandrick returned it. 396 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's actually the game there that you guys 397 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: are being able to see if you're watching the show 398 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: right now. I bet I bet we had that B 399 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: role available because of cover for if I had to 400 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 1: get yeah, gush, yeah, So this, I mean, this is 401 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: a game where it would be nice to be able 402 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 1: to run the ball. But I say no to the question, 403 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: I don't think you really should ever do that. I 404 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: don't think you should open up. I don't think you 405 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: should start with the pass to open up the run. 406 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: I don't think that's what the Cowboys do. I don't 407 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: think that they'll tell you that they say that. What 408 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: they do is they're going to go out there, line up, 409 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: do what we do. But you know, when the safety 410 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: comes down, then it's time to throw. If the state, 411 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: if the linebackers are going to move back and watch 412 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: because the Mark Cooper's out there, then then you run. 413 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: I think that's what they do. I don't think you 414 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: say we're gonna pass and hopefully we can run. They're 415 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: just gonna run their offense. But within the play, you 416 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: know what they don't respect Michael got up on the outside, 417 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna continue to throw it to him. I think. 418 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: I just don't think it's like we're a past team 419 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: and stop us. I think there's still a run team. Yeah. Well, 420 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 1: like we said yesterday, we're gonna find out what Belichick 421 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: thinks about that and then their defense. Now, we talked 422 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: about the weather being bad and all that. If it's raining, 423 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: should the Cowboys go for two instead of kicking for 424 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 1: the extra point? This might change the kicking game for 425 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. No, I'm gonna say no to that. Not 426 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 1: a bad thought. But this team has not been good 427 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: inside the three or five yard line. They don't they 428 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: don't run it in all the time. I don't think. 429 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 1: I think that's the worst part of Dak's game right now. 430 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: It's the passing within those small windows. I don't think 431 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: the route running has been great down there, So I 432 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: don't think it's a higher percentage on two point conversion. 433 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: But I don't I don't love the thought. I mean, 434 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: I don't hate the thought. I also, you know, I 435 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: know it's supposed to rain. I doubt it's going to 436 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: be a torrential downpour for all three hours. I mean, 437 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: you don't see that that often. And then the Patriots 438 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: play on turf, so it's not like the condition. I mean, 439 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: you know the field's not gonna be coming apart because 440 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: of the rains. So I just let him kick. Yeah. 441 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,479 Speaker 1: I may not say that as a blanket statement at 442 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: every time it comes up, then you always go for it, 443 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: But I do think I may take some opportunities in 444 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: this game to go for two. If it's a situation 445 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: where it's it's really wet, then in my opinion, even 446 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: though you say that they haven't been great there, I 447 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 1: still my level of confidence that my kicker is gonna 448 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: consistently make those in wet conditions. I think it's probably 449 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: a fifty feet shot, right. So for me, I would 450 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: say there are probably some moments in the game, depending 451 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: on the score and depending on the situation, where I 452 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: may say, hey, here's an opportunity to go for two, 453 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: let's do it. He isn't. He hasn't kicked in that, 454 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: whether maybe last year or something. I don't think that 455 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: hasn't really been a raining game like that since he's 456 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: been here. So you're right, I just you know, you're 457 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: seeing teams change their philosophies a little bit on going 458 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: for two, And I think it comes down to the 459 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: fact that, you know, is there a play that we like, right, 460 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: And also it's just not as higher percentage. It's not 461 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: like it's an making the extra points. So I mean 462 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: there's a lot of teams now that I'm like, this 463 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense to do this, you know, you know, 464 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: like when you're down, you're down by nine, you're trying 465 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 1: to make it a seven point game with eight minutes 466 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: to go, Like that makes no sense to me because 467 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: you could really end it for you But I don't 468 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 1: do it. I don't get it either. Yeah, the Eagles 469 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: did it when the Eagles beat the Packers. They wound 470 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: up winning the game, but that game could have easily 471 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,719 Speaker 1: gone to overtime for no reason. They were up, they 472 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: scored to go up seven, and they decided to go 473 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: for two, which is great because if you get it, 474 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: you're up two scores in the fourth quarter. But they 475 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: didn't get it. And now you know it's that much. 476 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: It's so much easier for the team to tie you. 477 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: And I know, you know, analytics people and people who 478 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: get that more than I do will tell you, like, 479 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: the numbers makes sense, But I don't know the old 480 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: school everything I know from watching football and following it 481 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: my whole life, it just doesn't jive that numbers make sense. 482 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: I think if you're a team that can score those 483 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: two point conversions and down there at the two or three, 484 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: but that's just not something we've seen from the Cowboys 485 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: of scoring a fourth and goal from the three. I 486 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: like that quarterback draw every time. Yep, all right, Dak 487 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: Prescott will get flustered by the Patriots blitz. I don't 488 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,479 Speaker 1: know people like That's the thing that people have been 489 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: talking about the last couple of days, a lot of 490 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: people asked, Like they asked Callen about it, They asked 491 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: Amar and Dak about it, like, I don't, you know, 492 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: I don't think they blitz more than any other team 493 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: they've played, Like it's just you know, this crazy facet 494 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: of their game. I mean, I'm sure they will let me. 495 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's gonna find ways to manufacture pressure if he 496 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: needs to, But I just don't think it'll be crazy 497 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: compared to any other game Dak's ever played. Yeah, I 498 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: think there will be things that Dak's never seen in 499 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: this game. I mean, And the one thing I keep 500 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: going back to it was the game trying to remember 501 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: which game it was. It was the game where they 502 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: had the third and two that they did not convert 503 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: and they end up losing yardage on it. And after 504 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: the game, Travis Frederick was asked about it and he 505 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: said it was at Minnesota. He was like, yeah, they 506 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: showed us something that we hadn't really seen before, and 507 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: that was kind of his rationalis to why the play 508 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: didn't work out. And it made me start to think, Okay, well, 509 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: if showing you something you hadn't seen before is a problem, 510 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: good luck this weekend, which this is a team that's 511 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: gonna show you things that you haven't seen before. And 512 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: that's where I say They're gonna be moments in this 513 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: game where Dak's probably gonna get a little flustered at 514 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: seeing something maybe he hasn't seen before. What I love 515 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: about Dak is Dack's and I wanted to get too flustered, right, 516 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: even if he still knows how to, he still knows 517 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: how to how to make things happen, even when it's 518 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: kind of a situation that would probably have other people 519 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 1: just completely out of their game. I don't like the 520 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 1: word flustered in that question. Yeah, Like, yeah, Dak will 521 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: probably get sacked on a third down or you know, 522 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: or yeah, they'll they'll dial up something that he's not 523 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: familiar with, but he doesn't get flustered. They might beat him, 524 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 1: they'll definitely be there'll be some players they're gonna get him. 525 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't think he gets flustered. Yeah, I 526 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: don't think he gets flustered. Do you think they should 527 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: play Wilson Moore at safety? No? No, I mean I 528 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 1: know it, it's a small sample size. I get it, 529 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 1: but like Woods left that game and Wilson came in 530 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: and they immediately took advantage of it last week, and 531 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: that was Jeff Driscoll, not Tom Brady. No, he's not ready, 532 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: I don't think, and I don't know if he ever 533 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: will be. It's gonna be interesting even next year. We're 534 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: looking at Donovan Wilson because everyone's gonna remember the interceptions 535 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: and all that, and he's gonna get to play at 536 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: some point. But the reason why he was drafted in 537 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: the sixth round is because he doesn't have top end 538 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 1: speed and that speed gets exposed at the safety position, 539 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: and so you know, you could hate Jeff Heath all 540 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 1: you want to, but he can run. He's a fast 541 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 1: player and one of the fastest on the team, one 542 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: of the fastest on the team. And I just think 543 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: that Olumpos makes plays and don Wilson makes plays, and 544 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: they made plays in the preseason. But they're gonna get 545 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: or he's gonna get a chance. But I still think 546 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 1: speed's gonna be an issue for him. It's funny if 547 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: you think about like the way things color people's perception, 548 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 1: and I get I mean, yes, Jeff Heath is better 549 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: than a lot of people want to get it give 550 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 1: him credit for No, he's not the answer to the 551 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: safety position. He gives up plays, he takes bad angles. 552 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: All of that can be true. But you know, he 553 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 1: got pushed into action against Matt Stafford and Calvin Johnson 554 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: as a rookie and got exposed as you would expect, 555 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 1: and it colored a lot of people's perceptions of him 556 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: for a long time. Donovan Wilson has a great perception 557 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 1: about him because he made plays in the preseason and 558 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: hasn't really had a chance to show you otherwise. So 559 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: it's just funny that, you know, he is supposedly in 560 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: a lot of people's minds, like the answer to the 561 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 1: safety problem. Whereas I mean, if they throw him out 562 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: there against Tom Brady and he gets exposed, then how 563 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: are people going to feel? Yeah, I just you know 564 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: it's the one. It can be very flattering to a 565 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: player or very unfair either way, and can turn on 566 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 1: a dime n one thing one moment and immediately something 567 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: happens that changes at forever. Right But now so, I 568 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: mean these safeties and Cheeto had a roll in it too, 569 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: But like the ninety two yard play against the Jets, 570 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,199 Speaker 1: like I can't forget about it. I know a lot 571 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: of fans can't forget about it shouldn't happen. I don't 572 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: think throwing Donovan Wilson out there is the right problem 573 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: to fix it. But like, I also don't think you're 574 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 1: crazy for being concerned about the position well dari and Thompson, 575 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: I think would be the guy you'd be talking about 576 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: way more before you get to Wilson. Yeah, it's sad 577 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: because I was excited about Wilson during the preseason. Thornhill 578 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 1: made a fantastic play on Monday Night Football, by the way, 579 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: broke up a ball on the goal line that might 580 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: have been a touchdown. So he's playing and making plays. Yeah, 581 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: so he's active. He's active, and like literally he gets 582 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: a jersey. I love how we're just going down. Sorry, 583 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: And there's at least half of alladies has no idea 584 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: what you know? They absolutely no one. If you're listening 585 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: to this show, you get that rep y y who 586 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: doesn't play Thank you Dame hard time. I didn't. I 587 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: didn't need to spell that out for our loyal listeners, 588 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: I promise true, all right. Earlier this week, we talked 589 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: about Tom Brady and the things he's currently doing. A 590 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: lot of short passes. Now, do you think that the 591 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: cow Boys defense will finally be able to stop the 592 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: scream game this week? If they can completely stop the 593 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: screen slash short running back game, they'll win this game. 594 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: I mean that's they're not also a good start though, 595 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: because they did they did just lose, right. I don't 596 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: trust that the I don't trust that the Patriots have 597 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: a way to consistently move the ball in chunks other 598 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: than that, other than their defense. Okay, but on offense, 599 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: I'm just I mean James White, Rex Burkhead, sometimes Sony Michelle, 600 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: like though they do a lot of lifting, a lot 601 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: of it. I mean we talk. I mean I really 602 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: like like on the boundary. I like the Cowboys matchups 603 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: in this game, like Cheeto and Byron Verse. Probably not 604 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: Mohammed Sanu, so you know, yeah, I don't know if 605 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: he's been ruled out, but it's not looking good. So 606 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: you got um Philip door Set, who's gimpy, and then 607 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers and Nikil Harry. I don't know. That doesn't 608 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: that doesn't scare me. So short passes over the middle, 609 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: whether it's Edelman, whether it's running backs, I think that's 610 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: their bread and butter. Now this isn't necessarily a se 611 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: no question, but here it is. Given the slow starts, 612 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: should the Cowboys get or kick the ball if they 613 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: win the coin toss? That's a good that's a good question. 614 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: I looked the stat up. The Patriots are are outscoring 615 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: teams eighty seven to twenty in the first quarter. They 616 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: win every quarter, but they dominate that eighty seven to twenty. 617 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: The Cowboys are The only quarter they don't win is 618 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: the first quarter. So that being said, Um, if I'm 619 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, I think I take the football. Do not 620 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: I think that? I think the Patriots question, I didn't say, 621 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,959 Speaker 1: oh is it right? No, No, I'm saying I think 622 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: I would. I think the Patriots and Bill Belichick are 623 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: masters of the defer. And what I mean by that 624 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: is getting the opportunity to get a double dip. They'll 625 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: hit you with a score before the halftime, and they 626 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: come back and get the ball and they'll get another score. 627 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: And that, to me is the whole purpose why teams 628 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: would do would defers, because you want to be able 629 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: to get that take advantage of that double hit. And 630 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: I would not give them that opportunity. I just think 631 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: I just think in this kind of situation, I certainly 632 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: would defer and hope that I get a situation where 633 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: I have the ability to get a two scores back 634 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: to back, to be able to push myself ahead if 635 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: I'm to come from behind, or to maybe extend my 636 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: lead a little bit. I just think there's too many 637 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: variables that go into it, Like you can have the 638 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: best laid plan, and odds are it's not gonna work 639 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: out that way. I just think getting that possession after 640 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: halftime is way too valuable. Even knowing that there's a 641 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: good chance you fall behind early in this game, I'd 642 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: still rather have a chance to flip the script after 643 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: the bread. I just think the fact that this team needs, 644 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: they need a fast start in the best way, they 645 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: need to play with the lead. I think I think 646 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: that's one way that's going to kind of hurt the 647 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: Patriots and Tom Brady if they're the team that has 648 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: to kind of play from behind. So let's flip that narrative. 649 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: Let's say you take the ball first and they do 650 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: what they've alway what they've been doing throughout the year, 651 00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: which is they don't get off to a fast start. 652 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: Now New England gets the ball, and they're gonna get 653 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: the ball at the beginning of the the second half. Now 654 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 1: you've basically lost all of that possible opportunity to be 655 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: able to either get off to a fast start or 656 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: be able to have that double dip at half. Well, 657 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: the thing is is that you can get the ball 658 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: if you can get a couple first downs and then 659 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: you punt, and then you're gonna get a pick six 660 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: and then four. All right, well you can tell me that. 661 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: You didn't tell me that, Okay, yeah, yeah, okay, So 662 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: I'm with you. Now take the ball. When when was 663 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: their last pick six? And I don't mean like Jordan 664 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: Lewis had to fuck for a touchdown Jones against the 665 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: Ring that game. You're right, You're right, You're right Byron 666 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: Jones interception it was. He gets credit for it, but 667 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: it was still a tipped ball. It wasn't like he 668 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: didn't jump on the route or anything. I think the 669 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: one before that, also in the rain. Please don't tell 670 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: me the last two Miami, Rolando McClain, the rain. Yeah, 671 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: it's fate. It's gonna happen, like Rolando McLain. Well, stay 672 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: on topic. Then, will the Cowboys win the turnover battle 673 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: this week final question. No, No, they're not gonna win 674 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 1: the No, nothing suggests that they will. They don't take 675 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: the ball away, but they'll get a pick six battle. 676 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: They won't win the battle, but they'll win. They will 677 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: win the defensive points battle. They're gonna get at Okay, 678 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: I guess I have to put that into my gut 679 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,959 Speaker 1: feeling though, right interception Cool, what are we doing another brand? No? No, 680 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: heres we're gonna do. Here's gonna do. We're gonna ahead 681 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 1: and get our predictions here because the show's supposed to 682 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 1: be over back, you're gonna say I thought were out 683 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 1: of time. Yeah, we're gonna go and get our predictions. 684 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: Let's go around and say, well, I won't ask Gamber first. 685 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: We're gonna start with Dave. Dave, you give us your prediction, 686 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 1: and then we'll move around the table. I can come 687 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: up with a pretty good argument for why the Cowboys 688 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: could win this game. The Patriots offense is rickety and mediocre, 689 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: and I think the Cowboys defense matches up really well. 690 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: We saw the Patriots give up a lot of yards 691 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: and a lot of points to the number two offense, 692 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: and now it's the number one. I get all of that. 693 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: For me, it just comes down to trust, Like, can 694 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 1: you go on the road against a good team that 695 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: doesn't make mistakes in a very you know, intimidating environment 696 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: and play that clean and that efficiently and nothing we've 697 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 1: seen through ten weeks suggests that they can. You know, 698 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: the last you know, they went to Detroit, they played sloppy, 699 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: they won because Detroit's not very good and they were 700 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,879 Speaker 1: playing backups at important positions. They went to New York 701 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,280 Speaker 1: and needed three and a half quarters before they really 702 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: you know, got on top of a bad Giants team. 703 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 1: They lost to the Saints. Where else if they lost 704 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: to the Jets on the road, how can I in 705 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 1: good conscience just be like, well, they haven't been this 706 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: all year, but they're gonna go up and do this 707 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: against the best team in the league. It's totally possible. 708 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's crazy for thinking it could happen. 709 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: I just don't trust them, and I think the Patriots 710 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: all will find a way to pull it out. It'll 711 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: be a really good game. I'm thinking like twenty four 712 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: to twenty. Yeah, the defensive minded type of deal. I 713 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 1: would be very, very impressed if the Cowboys run wild 714 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: on them the way the Ravens did would be awesome, 715 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 1: but that would be really impressive. I think turnovers are 716 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 1: I make the difference Cowboys of you know, in eight 717 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 1: of ten games they have one and against this defense, 718 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: I could see two and that'll probably make the difference. 719 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,839 Speaker 1: Amber Um, just like Dave, I can see it going 720 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 1: either way. I could see the Cowboys winning this game. 721 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: But I think at the end of the day, it's 722 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,919 Speaker 1: gonna come down to which defense can do more, and 723 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: that will be what the Patriots are gonna be doing 724 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: if regardless of the Cowboys limiting their own mistakes, I 725 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: just don't think it will be enough for them to 726 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,800 Speaker 1: come out of with the victory from over there. But 727 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: they lose twenty seventeen m all right, Nick, twenty eight 728 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: seventeen Dallas, I think that they will outplay them. I'm 729 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,439 Speaker 1: not going to say that they're a better football team 730 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: right now, but I think that the Patriots I think, 731 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: you know, we we looked at it yesterday. They haven't 732 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 1: been faced with an offense like this is as long 733 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,879 Speaker 1: as the Cowboys can, you know, it's a game where 734 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 1: the offense can can do some things. Hopefully the weather 735 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 1: doesn't isn't too permitting there. But I think the Cowboys 736 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: are gonna win this game just because I've thought it 737 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 1: for a long time. I'm not gonna change. I just 738 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 1: think they're gonna win. They're gonna win twenty eight to seventeen. 739 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: They're gonna be the better football team in this game. Um, 740 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 1: they won't have the better record when it's over, but 741 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 1: they will be the better team. And I don't think 742 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: it's gonna even be I mean, I don't think it's 743 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,399 Speaker 1: gonna be that close. I really, I really don't. I'm 744 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: not trying to be a homer. I just I see 745 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 1: this game. I think the Cowboys will outplay them in 746 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 1: this game, and they will see they this won't be 747 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,359 Speaker 1: a good matchup for the Patriots. It'll be a good 748 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: matchup for the Cowboys and they win. I hope you're 749 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: right in a way that this like this could be 750 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: so annoying, and obviously, I mean I won't be annoyed. 751 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: I want them to win, but if they're can't. I mean, 752 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: if they if they play up to their potential, they 753 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: can beat this team, and they could probably beat them 754 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: by double digits if they're really firing in all cylinders. 755 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: And it'll be annoying because it's like, why do you 756 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: have to be playing the Patriots to play like this? 757 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 1: You're right, and that's the part that's that's the part 758 00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: that is so Cowboys all right, because you think think 759 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 1: about it. And this is where I've been all weeks 760 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: saying I'm not picking them. They're not gonna let me pick. 761 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna pick them. But then I look at it, 762 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, I've seen this story before. I've seen these 763 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 1: games where it's like all of the odds are against 764 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. There's no way anybody believes they actually will 765 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 1: win it. And what I mean by that, it's just like, 766 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 1: if you look at it logistically, there's no reason to 767 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,360 Speaker 1: say the Cowboys win. And then the Cowboys go on 768 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,399 Speaker 1: the road and they win, right, that's just kind of 769 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: I've seen this picture before, I've seen this movie. I 770 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 1: know how it can turn out, and I think the 771 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,399 Speaker 1: Cowboys are good enough to be able to do it. 772 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: I just don't have faith that, based on everything I've 773 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: seen this year, that it actually will happen. But I 774 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,799 Speaker 1: think I'm more and more sorry to come around to say, 775 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: are you kidding me? Derek Eagleton's about to pick the 776 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 1: Cowboys to listen, Garret, but never mind, like you know better, 777 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 1: and so and so, I'm gonna throw you all off 778 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,839 Speaker 1: and tell you I am gonna pick the Patriots. Oh, 779 00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a really close game. Pad So, 780 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a close game. I don't 781 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,760 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be much scoring. I think the weather's 782 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 1: gonna be such that it is just gonna be a 783 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 1: flat out, just beat down. Both teams just kind of 784 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 1: struggling to really get much going offensively. I think it's 785 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,240 Speaker 1: an end score of thirteen ten. I think the Patriots 786 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: end up pulling it out, though I'm gonna be so 787 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 1: mad when we're in here on Monday next over here. Yeah, 788 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 1: no I'm not. But I'll tell you this. If the 789 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 1: Cowboys win this game, I'll just go I'll give you 790 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 1: one one further. I will pick Buffalo. I promise you 791 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 1: that if they lose, if they beat the Patriots, they're 792 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,920 Speaker 1: not That's the Cowboys way, That's what That's why I've 793 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: done this from the start. I will say this, this 794 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 1: is a show me game. I would be very happy 795 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,319 Speaker 1: to be wrong on this. Yeah, and I honestly think 796 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 1: it would not shock me. Like, honestly, it would not 797 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,880 Speaker 1: shock me if they win, honestly, they went by two scores, 798 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 1: it wouldn't shock me because I think this team, I've 799 00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:58,919 Speaker 1: been saying it since training camp. I think this team 800 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 1: has enough talent to do it. They just haven't shown 801 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: it to us yet. And so I'm at a point 802 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 1: now where I'm like, all right, show me exactly, make 803 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,360 Speaker 1: me want to pick that in the future, because you 804 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: haven't shown me yet. Show me you can do it. 805 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 1: When the Cowboys win this game and they show you, 806 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: I'll be picking Buffalo and gonna write my story before 807 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:15,880 Speaker 1: I break my arm patting myself on the back. But 808 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 1: I will write my articles first, yeah, and then pick 809 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 1: the Bills and to win.
